Trump‘s next tariff target could mean a big hit to the pocketbook for many Americans. With many people already having to make tough decisions between daily necessities and medical care, Trump's next move could make things so much worse. The reaction of the stock markets following Trump‘s wild swings with tariffs appear to be predictable. That has some asking whether Trump was trying to manipulate the markets on purpose. We'll explore. Former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney, David Katz joins us to talk about the law and politics.

Trump's Day of Liberation (the day of his big tariff announcement) has economists describing the plan as a “worse than the worse case scenario." The tariffs range from 10% to 49%. The higher tariffs went to countries Trump considers the “worst offenders” in trade relations. It's a bad sign for tech investors as companies like Apple and Nvidia will likely get slammed by the tariffs Trump is placing on China and Taiwan. Markets are already reacting severely. It turns out, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and the chatters from Signal-Gate have been using the platform to discuss other international matters of importance.

National security advisor Mike Waltz, who allegedly added the reporter from the Atlantic to a private group chat discussing military attack plans, now says he's never even met the reporter.

Heads are spinning at the White House after President Trump seemed to flip flop on funding for Medicaid. That's health care for the poorest Americans. Hours after holding an interview alongside Elon Musk where he said he would not touch Medicaid, Trump threw support behind a House GOP budget plan that will likely lead to billions in cuts to Medicaid. A 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel says Trump cannot end birthright citizenship. The case could go to the Supreme Court in a matter of days. We'll ask former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney, David Katz, what he thinks the Supreme Court will say on the matter.

Looks like Elon Musk is quickly recouping money he paid for the predidency via fat new government contracts. Over the last couple months, he's been awarded SpaceX contracts and now Marco Rubio over at the State Department says he expects to spend $400 million on 'armored' Cybertrucks made by special government employee Elon Musk's Tesla. Can someone alert the waste, fraud and abuse team? A judge says the government employee buyout offer can move forward, we will check in with former federal prosecutor, now defense attorney, David Katz. The Mark Thompson Show 2/13/25

Elon Musk now has his fingers in America's finances. He's brazenly forcing his way into secure and protected systems. He has offended just about every federal worker with illegal buyout letters and threats to job safety. Now, it seems he's losing support. A new Economist/YouGov poll shows that more Republicans who liked the idea of the SpaceX/Tesla billionaire having a significant influence in the Trump administration are singing a different tune. Right after the election, 47% of Republicans surveyed said they wanted Musk to have a lot of influence. Now, that number is at 26%. We will check in with former federal prosecutor, David Katz to talk about the blatant illegalities of Musk's and Trump's policies and more. Investigative journalist Greg Palast returns to The Mark Thompson Show to discuss voting issues in the election.

It was all buddy-buddy on a call between Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Trump. The good vibes came as the Saudi prince said his kingdom wants to sink $600 billion in the United States over the next four years in trade and investments. No word where exactly those investments and trade would be placed. When it comes to birthright citizenship and other Constitutional issues, Trump is barreling right ahead. We welcome former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz to the show. We'll ask him whether Trump really has authority in these matters..

Tech Billionaires are assembling a new club…the American Oligarchy. An ultra rich and well connected group of powerful men like this moves into an influential position every so often, but this time it feels like a serious threat. President Biden warned of it in his goodbye speech and political commentator Thom Hartmann shares his thoughts about what Americans can do to support democracy. Our legal expert, former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz, will join us.

At least six fires are burning around the Los Angeles area. Five people are dead and many more injured…homes and businesses lost to flames. Many residents are still wondering whether they need to leave for safer ground. In the middle of all of this, the president-elect has decided being a helper is not as fun as causing political drama during a crisis. We'll look at what we expect from our leaders during times of trouble, President Biden's response and whether Trump measures up. Attorney General Merrick Garland says he will be releasing part of the Jack Smith report on Trump‘s interference in the 2020 election. Will Trump be able to stop him? We welcome Brown University Political Science Professor Corey Brettschneider to the show to discuss that and more. Our legal expert, former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz, is in Southern California. We are hoping he is able to come on the show but fire conditions seem to be changing rapidly.

David Katz joins Bruce and Gaydos to share his expertise in law enforcement regarding the terrorist attack in New Orleans.

What a strange and sad start to 2025 in America. An Army veteran from Texas slammed into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 15 and injuring many more before he was killed. The FBI is investigating the case as an act of terrorism and says the man reportedly had recently joined the ISIS terrorist group. Outside of the Trump hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, someone blew up a Tesla Cybertruck. Authorities believe fireworks, gas tanks and camping fuel were used in the blast - which left one person inside the Cybertruck dead. In Honolulu, Hawaii, a fireworks explosion killed three people and injured 20. This incident appears to be accidental in nature. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom is putting state law-enforcement on high alert because of the attacks in Louisiana and Las Vegas. We welcome Elex Michaelson, host of “The issue Is… “ rtalk politics A protest is underway in support of keeping Donald Trump from being sworn in to the president presidency on January 20, 2025.

From Trump‘s a dream Karel case to the special prosecutor pulling out of an appeal in the documents case, there is a lot to ask David Katz about. The former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney covers all things legal here on the Mark Thompson show.

Congress thought they had a deal on spending that would keep the federal government open for business. Now, they're not so sure. First, Elon Musk took to X to speak out against the deal. Then, Trump, who won't be back in power until next month, threatened to primary any Republican who votes for it. Trump wants Congress to increase the nation's borrowing limit instead. Now, Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans have very little time to come up with an alternative to fund the government while keeping Trump and Musk at bay. Former Federal Prosecutor and now defense attorney, David Katz will stop by the show to talk about Trump's legal cases, Trump's lawsuit against the Des Moines Register for running a poll result he didn't like and the latest on the Luigi Mangione murder case.

Saying America was built on possibilities and second chances, President Biden is commuting sentences for about 1,500 people, with more likely to come. Most were released from prison during the pandemic and switched to home confinement. He also pardoned almost 40 nonviolent criminals. The President says he will be reviewing more clemency petitions in the coming weeks. We welcome former federal prosecutor, now defense attorney, David Katz to the show to talk about the significance of the presidents display of mercy. Mark Thompson is off this week but we expect him to stop by the show today to check in. We'll ask him what he's been up to this week.

From a discarded water bottle to a dropped cell phone to reports of messages left on bullet casings, police have a lot to go on when it comes to finding a suspect in the killing of United Health CEO Brian Thompson. His wife says threats had been made against him, yet he was without the security detail provided by UnitedHealth Group, America's largest insurance company. Journalist Anthony Davis joins the conversation with a unique perspective about the cost of healthcare in America. Trump's legal team wants the election interference charges against him in Georgia dropped. We'll ask our legal expert, former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz, all about it.

Despite words to the contrary earlier this year, President Biden is pardoning his son Hunter. The move will keep the younger Biden out of prison following convictions for gun and tax related crimes. Our Legal expert on the show, former federal prosecutor David Katz, predicted the move months ago asking what man would let his son rot in jail when he has the power to let him go on charges that were only brought because his father is the president? The move has outraged Republicans. Trump is comparing the incomparable saying President Biden should have pardoned January 6th insurrectionists:      "Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!"We welcome IHeart Television and Radio political analyst Gary Dietrich to the show to discuss it. Monday means True Crime on The Mark Thompson Show.

The Trump transition team is being directed not to move forward with FBI background checks for nominees.  According to CNN, the Trump team was caught off guard by allegations against Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz.  So why the aversion to background checks and why won't Trump and his team sign ethics forms?  We'll ask former federal prosecutor now defense attorney, David Katz about that and more.  We also welcome iHeart Television and Radio political analyst Gary Dietrich to talk politics.  Author Joel Brokaw will join us to tell us about his new book detailing his father's like work.

Pressure on Matt Gaetz proved to be too much. He is stepping away from the Attorney General nomination. During the run up to the election, Trump did his best to distance himself from Project 2025. It's a blueprint for implementing some draconian Christian nationalist policies that appear to be wildly unconstitutional. Trump said he had no idea who was behind the plan. Now, he is embracing its creators. So far, the following men have been tapped to serve in the Trump administration and also are neck deep in Project 2025: *Russ Vought, an architect of Project 2025 who supports aggressive use of presidential powers is reportedly being considered to lead the White House Budget Office K *Tom Homan, tapped to be the “border czar” *John Ratcliffe, who may be the next CIA director *Brendan Carr, heading the FCC *Pete Hoekstra, Trump's ambassador to Canada *Stephen Miller, led America First Legal, which advised on Project 2025, will be an assistant to the president, deputy chief of staff for policy and Homeland Security advisor. Some in Trump's circle, like Steve Bannon, have admitted that Project 2025 was the plan all along. We welcome our favorite Britisher to the show. Journalist Anthony Davis will talk politics. Investigative journalist Greg Palast will share some new details on efforts to count every ballot. Former federal prosecutor David Katz will discuss Trump' pending state cases out of New York and Georgia being put on hold.

Surprise! Project 2025 was the plan all along. Republicans were distancing themselves from it right up until election day. On November 6th, they felt comfortable openly admitting that Project 2025 will be their guide moving into the Trump administration. It includes a national abortion ban, limits on contraceptives, the expansion of presidential powers, the elimination of many federal agencies and so much more. Rolling Stone reports, “…less than 24 hours after the election was called for Trump, his allies, advisers, and prominent supporters were celebrating the now-open road to Project 2025's implementation.” We will talk about the legalities of putting some of these extreme measures into place with former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz. If you're anything like us, part of taking a mental health break includes taking a sip of Coachella Valley coffee or tea. Head roast master Cliff will swing by the show to tell us what's new at Coachella for the holiday season.

Tucker Carlson was on stage with Trump at a rally in Georgia last night and it got weird. Carlson, in what was at best a completely misogynistic rant and at worst pervy and abusive, slammed Vice President Kamala Harris and then said “dad” was coming home to deliver punishment. Of Daddy Trump, Carlson said, “He's pissed! Dad is pissed. … And when dad gets home, you know what he says? ‘You've been a bad girl. You've been a bad little girl, and you're getting a vigorous spanking right now.'” It went on from there, and by the time Trump took the stage, the angry crowd was yelling “Daddy's Home!” We are so excited to welcome Leigh McGowan. You might know her as #politicsgirl. She has a successful TikTok platform where she stands in her kitchen and discusses politics. McGowan has a new book that just came out. It's called “A Return to Common Sense: How to Fix America Before We Really Blow It.” The book is great and this conversation is so good! We have some questions about Donald Trump's election interference, cases, Rudy Giuliani's asset forfeiture and the horrifying possibility that Judge Cannon could be the next U.S. Attorney General should Trump get back into the White House. Former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz stops by the show.

With fewer than 20 days until the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris walked into the lion's den and sat down for an interview with Brett Baier, of Fox News. The moment the interview started, the atmosphere was tense. Harris was strong when it came to protecting the constitutional rights of Americans. She called Baier out for not telling the real story about Trump's threats against American citizens She's being criticized for not explaining exactly how her presidency would be different than President Joe Biden's.The polls are open in Georgia and the lines are very long. We welcome back Bob Christian. He's running for Congress to represent Georgia's 7th Congressional District and “protect against MAGA extremism.” We'll ask him about his experience casting an early vote in Georgia.

A Trump rally in Pennsylvania yesterday turned into something of an embarrassment. Trump told the crowd,“We do a lot of these beautiful rallies, and it's so great. We never have an empty seat, never have, look at it!” So, it appears a few people actually looked around. Whole sections of seating areas at the back of the Trump rally were either empty or mostly empty. The pictures were quickly posted all over social media. We welcome author and progressive talk host Thom Hartmann to the show. Thom's new book: “The Hidden History of the American Dream: The Demise of the Middle Class and How to Rescue Our Future” was released this week. Find it at: thomhartmann.com or hiddenhistorybooks.com Our good fortune continues, as former federal prosecutor, now defense attorney, David Katz joins us. We'll ask him about allegations that federal investigators purposely dropped the ball when investigating Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The judge in Trump's federal election interference case is making portions of a dossier of evidence against him public. From comments he allegedly made about his Vice President Mike Pence being in danger to statements he made about the outcome of the election to those around him…the evidence appears damning. Former federal prosecutor, now defense attorney, David Katz will break it down.

We know that a presidential candidate can win the popular vote yet lose because of the electoral college votes. It was thought that Republicans had the advantage, but new data shows Trump may not be as strong on Electoral College numbers now. According to the New York Times polling average, it looks like Kamala Harris won't need to win the popular vote by much to take the presidency. It all comes down to the “tipping-point” state that pushes the winning candidate over the 270 electoral college votes needed to win. It may be that Wisconsin, where Harris leads in polling by almost 2 points, will be the key. Looking at estimates of popular vote vs electoral vote totals, analysts say Trump's advantage is less than a point now and that's about one-fifth as large as it was four years ago. Mark will break it down with journalist Anthony Davis. How did Judge Cannon end up with the case of Trump's would be golf course assassin? Will there be any movement on the federal election interference case against Trump in the next couple months before the 2024 election? Will Trump & Vance face criminal charges in Ohio over their hate speech regarding Haitian immigrants? Our favorite lawyer, former federal prosecutor - now working the defense side of room, David Katz will join us.

New polling data shows support for Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris is on the rise. Her support appears to be increasing both nationally and in the all important swing states. Mark joins in to discuss it. Are there two different scenarios come November for what happens to the legal cases pending against Trump? Sentencing in the New York state hush money case is on hold until after the election. The election interference case in Georgia is still pending along with federal cases. If Trump loses, do all of those cases move steam ahead. If he wins, how will it affect the state cases and sentences he's waiting for? Former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz will join us to talk about this and more. Former KGO talkshow host and author of “She Said What?” Turi Ryder will join us in the second hour to talk about politics and other absurdities.

Trump and Vance are slamming down on the MAGA gas pedal. Despite knowing Haitians are not eating house pets in Ohio, that President Biden won the last election, and that nowhere in America are fetal executions lawful, the GOP candidates continue to amplify lies. The campaign strategy seems to be - no matter how outlandish the statement, the more you spew something and the more people hear it, the more they will accept and believe it. Richard Greene, the Civics Dean will stop by to talk politics. The judge in Trump's New York hush money case has already pushed the sentencing date past the November election, but now Trump's legal team is looking to delay it even further. Former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney, David Katz will join us with his perspective on the law.

As Trump releases footage taken at Arlington National Cemetery in a campaign ad, some families are crying foul. On CNN, Maggie Haberman reported that she spoke to one family upset that their son, who committed suicide after serving several tours in the Middle East, had the front and back of his gravestone visible in the Trump ad. There is a federal law prohibiting filming in this section of Arlington and so far, there is no evidence that Trump received clearance from military officials allowing him to violate the privacy of the families of America's war dead. We'll find out more about the violation of the law when we welcome former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz to the show. The economy is weighing heavily in this presidential election. From prices at the grocery store to disputed jobless numbers, it's an issue voters have listed as a priority. Heather Long is a former economics reporter at CNN and the Washington Post, and now works for the latter as an opinion columnist. We get her take on the pulse of the U.S. economy. Are voters getting the real story?

From Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to former President Bill Clinton to Oprah to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz accepting the Vice Presidential nomination, day three at the DNC was filled with energy and passion. Both Bill Clinton and Pete Buttigieg did not back down from speaking candidly about how America would look if Trump returned to the White House. There was a large focus on the events of January 6th. Video of the attack on the Capitol was shown to remind people, with the words “if reelected, he will never be held accountable.” Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi was introduced as the Mother of Dragons, Former President Bill Clinton said Kamala Harris would be the President of Joy and Speaker Hakeem Jeffries said Donald Trump is like an old boyfriend you broke up with who just won't go away. He said Trump is still trying to get back into a relationship with America and “bro we broke up with you for a reason!” We'll take a look at GOP efforts to put election officials in place with the intent of having them not certify election results. Former Federal Prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz will help us make sense of the legalities involved.
