Roger discusses The New York Times's article about the best songwriters of today; some names on the list are questionable. They also talk about the huge rush for the Michael Jackson movie over the weekend; despite big box office numbers, Roger says the film didn't live up to the hype. The Supreme Court has shut down the redistricting attempt in Louisiana by the Dems, which is a big win for the GOP. At the White House Correspondents' Dinner, some reporters' actions during the incident raised questions about safety and character. Barack Obama put out a tweet about the shooter's motive, which many saw as derogatory and referenced his time as president. Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Ann says the Dinner should have continued after the shooting on Saturday. Mark and Ann claim Democrats entering through the border are more extreme than traditional left-wing citizens and predict this could be the end of Caucasian Democrats in the party. Trump is pushing to rebrand ICE as NICE, and body cams could become standard for law enforcement and safety officers.

President Trump continued to speak his mind about Pope Leo's comments on peace regarding the war in Iran, which is driving Democrats and the left crazy. Trump claims the war is over, but is it really? A new accuser has stepped forward with allegations of sexual assault against Eric Swalwell, who has since resigned from Congress amid mounting accusations. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has a new term for the President. Mark interviews Roger Friedman from Showbiz411. A new Broadway show from Billy Crystal is coming this fall, titled 860. It's a one-man show named after the address of the home he lost in the 2025 Palisades fires. Roger breaks down the new plays that are a must-see! Madonna has officially announced a new album, Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II, due out July 3rd. There's also a rumor that Sabrina Carpenter may be joining Madonna on a new song. And Roger previews another great act coming soon to the tri-state area: Earth, Wind, and Fire. Ten years ago today, Apple announced it would be removing the headphone jack. Billionaire businessman Tom Steyer has had an interesting past, including a memorable moment dancing with rappers, and now wants to be California's next governor. Could he win? With Eric Swalwell out of the race, prediction markets have Steyer as the new frontrunner. Robots may take over combat in the future. And getting trucks into Manhattan to deliver food could be a major challenge for Mamdani's proposed new grocery stores. Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Ann and Mark discuss President Trump's comments on Pope Leo and how they affected people emotionally. Ann believes Trump could have found a more measured way to address the Pope, given the deep religious beliefs at stake. The Eric Swalwell case is drawing comparisons to the Jeffrey Epstein case, and a key question remains: where is Swalwell's wife amid all these new allegations against him?

There is a growing perception that Republicans are responsible for the government shutdown, which is being blamed for major delays at airports - though that narrative may not tell the full story. Republicans are working to sharpen their strategy and gain the upper hand in the ongoing debate over DHS funding involving both sides. On the Democratic side, calls are growing for Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down, with Senator Chris Murphy emerging as a potential replacement. Meanwhile, the U.S. has entered into indirect negotiations with Iran through a third party, and the outcome remains uncertain. One possible resolution on the table involves a transit fee for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, which could play a key role in ending the conflict. Mark interviews Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411. The two discuss Savannah Guthrie's emotional search for her missing mother and her upcoming return to the Today Show, where she gave her first major interview since the story broke. Roger also provides an update on Paul McCartney and his recent activities. On a positive note, Broadway ticket sales are up approximately $5 million - a significant jump from the previous week. Attorney and former Special Counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice Jack Smith is drawing scrutiny after a memo revealed that only six people were aware that President Trump had taken classified documents. The television industry continues to contract, with Stamford, Connecticut, feeling the impact particularly hard. NBC has announced the closure of its Stamford studio, a facility that once served as the home base for several major productions. In other news, The New York Times published a piece examining the growing trend of former Florida residents relocating back to New York City. Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. Ann praises ICE agents for their work at airports in managing immigration enforcement and maintaining public safety. Mark and Ann also raise the question of whether TSA pat-downs are still necessary, given that no major terrorist attack on the scale of 9/11 has occurred in decades. She also weighs in on Mayor Mamdani's proposal to raise corporate taxes, arguing that the plan functions as a de facto tariff, agreeing with Mark that the cost will ultimately be passed down to consumers.
