A conversation with Mayoral candidate & former senator Antonio Trillanes.

State lawmakers are proposing a bill that would allow the New York City Council to remove a sitting mayor with a three-fourths vote after a public hearing. Meanwhile, the city's Department of Transportation is kicking off National Bike Month with events across the five boroughs. Also, the Knicks clinch a spot in the second round of the NBA playoffs after edging out Detroit. Plus, on this week's transportation segment: Amtrak tunnel repairs, a looming NJ Transit strike, and the MTA begins testing new subway fare gate designs to fight evasion.

The mayoral primary is right around the corner, but just because you're registered to vote doesn't mean you'll get to choose a candidate. Pennsylvania is one of only 10 states with a closed primary system, which means independents and third-party voters get left out of the process. Spotlight PA's Kate Huangpu shares a few theories about why we're seeing such a sharp rise in independent voters and whether the state legislature might consider opening up our primaries. Want to learn more? Tune into SpotlightPA's webinar about our closed primary system on May 6.

The GOP HQ fire bomb suspect appears to have been captured. He looks JUST as you'd expect.  MLG vetoed two bills in the waning hours of her signing period (we agree with her on both). MLG also ripped Democrat leadership in the Legislature saying of the tax bill  “Even more troubling is the fact that what ultimately emerged lack both strategic coherence and fiscal responsibility,” the governor added. “There was no plan and no preparation for how to pay for the tax relief in this bill. She also vetoed a lowrider license plate bill and tortilla as the state's official bread. MLG argued that these bills represent a "misuse of time and priorities"  Paul and Wally discuss the latest political news in Albuquerque's Mayoral race and race for Governor. Specifically Paul and Wally discuss the possible impact of one of the bills the Gov. signed sets up "semi-open primaries" and how it COULD open new strategic voting opportunities.  Freedom Index results are now finalized. How did your legislators do? Also, RGF recently tabulated how the average stacks up relative to other sessions. The Maxeon deal has been changed (downsized) dramatically, yet the Economic Development Department website still touts the original deal. Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin recently launched Katy Perry and others to space for 11 minutes. Is Bezos taking Virgin Galactic's market?  MLG sends the National Guard to Albuquerque, but to what end?

This is a very hard subject and Jeff has some trouble getting his hands to wrap around it.

Mayor Adams holds one off-topic press conference per week, where reporters can ask him questions on any subject. Elizabeth Kim, Gothamist and WNYC reporter, recaps what he talked about at this week's event, including his sharp criticisms of his primary opponent Andrew Cuomo — plus she offers analysis of the political ramifications of big news that the corruption charges against the mayor have been dropped. 

The show begins with breaking news out of Elkhorn, a discussion of hats, shoes, Matt drops a bomb on us about his love life, Bluejays land a portal commitment, Producer Josh details an incident yesterday, we publicly inquire about the 46 write-in votes in the Mayoral primaries, and remember Val Kilmer.

I twisted Chip Matthews arm into sitting in with me for 2 full hours this morning so I could have someone in-studio to bounce a bunch of different topics off of and I believe we created some radio gold this morning!! 1- I saw a "Let's talk Rankin County" Facebook group post about 2 women arguing because one of the cut in line in front of the other one in the Pearl Wal-Mart grocery p/u line. This spawned a conversation about how lazy we've gotten, we're literally fighting on the internet about someone cutting the other person off in line instead of getting out of our vehicles to fight in the line where the disrespect happened. 2- I got out and held signs and waived at Brandon citizens on behalf of Mayoral candidate Fred Shanks this weekend and was shocked at how nasty some of the current mayors supporters were to us, flipping us off and cussing at us to support their guy was interesting to say the least (keep in mind the majority of our group were women 40 & older so it just wreaked of disrespect) 3- The conversation about Brandon politics turned into a conversation about voter I.D. laws in Mississippi and I was blown away to find out Chip's claims about Mississippi voters being allowed to vote without an I.D. as long as they brought it back within 5 business days and then finding out that you can vote with an expired I.D. that's been expired for 10 years. 4. Over the weekend an illegal immigrant was arrested in Brookhaven, Mississippi for destroying a Tesla with a set of wire cutters at a Wal-Mart in what I consider an act of political terrorism. 5- Ridgeland, Ms. Police Chief Brian Meyers is upset with the changes in PERS to new hires, Chip and I discuss why we disagree with his point and take a dive into why PERS is bad for everyone else not in it.
