FULL SHOW: The final crunch for political candidates; Trump is a New Yorker.

The midterms are tomorrow, and Mark breaks down how the polls and races are going right now nationwide. President Trump will hold many rallies today, as well as an event at the White House regarding the reflection pool. A Learjet crashed in Palm Beach, Florida, killing 9 people. New reports suggest the crash may have been due to an ICE incident involving the plane. Mark talks about a new trend in malls: charging you to park. Christmas is in the air, and many trees and other products are coming into play. Former NFL QB Tom Brady made a few on-air errors while he was doing play-by-play broadcasting.  Governor Kathy Hochul and Republican candidate Bruce Blakeman have been campaigning like crazy as the election is tomorrow. If she is reelected, Governor Hochul's congestion pricing is expected to expand to many other parts of New York. Mark breaks down why some polls are very off when it comes to reporting accurate numbers, especially the day before the election. NBC's Meet the Press with Kristen Welker is very biased. President Trump is the first president to be from a huge city, since he is from New York, and it sounds similar to radio host Howard Stern in the way Trump talks at times.  Mark interviews NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Michael gives his opinion on what he thinks will happen if Republican Bruce Blakeman wins the governor's race in New York. President Trump's attitude hasn't been the best about trying to keep the Republicans in charge of Congress. Michael believes that nationwide, the Dems will take over, including the House and Senate, due to the races leaning left.  Governor Hochul continues to claim that she will not be raising taxes if she gets reelected. Mark believes that this won't be the case, and Hochul will be handing out contracts for deals. The governor's race in New York is neck and neck. NY AG Letitia James is up for reelection as well, and her recent role as the prosecutor in the Cornell Rape case may swing voters. Martha Stewart put up an offensive photo of a homeless person and herself playing as that person, which sparked much backlash. President Trump has been speaking with Mamdani and has been helping him with some favors recently.  Mark interviews author Mark Malkoff. Mark explains a huge event he is doing at the Paley Center (Museum of Broadcasting). Mark and Mark dive into the funny memories and moments of Johnny Carson. You can sit at Johnny Carson's desk if you go to the event Malkoff will be at!   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
