Ebro, Laura, and Rosenberg open with coffee banter before discussing Trump claiming the Iran conflict will end soon and questioning media credibility, including footage of Trump wearing a Trump-branded hat during a “dignified transfer” that Fox allegedly covered with older video. They cite Jimmy Kimmel’s aggressive Trump jokes and argue many networks feel intimidated. In the rundown, they react to Kanye West announcing his first Los Angeles show since 2021 and debate whether interviewing him would be worthwhile or just amplify his controversies. In the lowdown, they cover Ivana Lisette Ortiz driving from Florida and shooting at Rihanna’s home with an AR-15 while posting obsessive videos, prompting talk about mental health, gun access, and limits on police intervention. The conversation turns to NYC issues: funding gaps, paying people for snow shoveling and homeless counts, speculation about eliminating free parking citywide, and state politics involving Hochul and Mamdani.
