In another busy week in New Jersey politics, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused three members of New Jersey's congressional delegation of a political stunt for last week's chaos at Delaney Hall. However, a video shared by Newark Mayor Ras Baraka shows him being invited into the ICE detention center.

Also, Edan Alexander, of Tenafly, was freed from Gaza after he was kidnapped during the Oct. 7 attacks. He was the last living American hostage there.

Joining the show this week are three New Jersey gubernatorial hopefuls – Rep. Josh Gotheimer, Rep. Mikie Sherill and Jack Ciattarelli – who picked up an endorsement from the president this week.
