The Mark Simone Show

FULL SHOW: The Middle East is in Jeopardy; Rex Heuermann pleads guilty.

Talks between the USA and Iran are set to begin soon in Pakistan, to potentially end the war. China, which is heavily dependent on oil flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, unlike the USA, has significant stakes in the outcome. Could Iran actually impose a toll on the strait? Also, Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann has confessed to the murders of eight women. Mark interviews Roger Friedman from Showbiz411. Hamilton remains a massive Broadway hit, but how is Broadway in New York City faring overall? Roger also breaks down the Michael Jackson biopic, which has been generating enormous buzz and is packed with details you won’t want to miss. Singer Paul McCartney is set to appear as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live in the near future. The Oscars will stay on ABC next year, and Roger shares what changes may be coming down the road. Jared Kushner, real estate developer Steve Witkoff, and VP JD Vance are heading to Pakistan to meet with Iranian leaders in pursuit of a possible end to the war. New York City Mayor Mamdani’s campaign promise to make buses free was recently rejected in a City Council meeting, though there may be an alternative path forward. The Artemis 2 astronauts are scheduled to splash down on Friday evening. Mark also reveals just how many podcasts exist in the world today, and the number is staggering. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. President Trump is prepared to keep the pressure on Iran, particularly if the ceasefire talks fall through. The Al Sharpton convention is currently underway, and Jimmy argues that Democrats aren’t adjusting their strategy, a miscalculation that could work in Trump’s favor heading into the midterms. Former President Biden was spotted in public recently, and his appearance raised some eyebrows.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
