A full U.S. Marine battalion, comprised of more than 700 Marines, is now mobilized to respond to the deportation protests in Los Angeles. Though Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have both called for Trump not to use the California National Guard, some of 4000 guardsmen have also been activated. In order for members of the military to make arrests, Trump would need to invoke the Insurrection Act. So far, the military members may be an intimidating show of force against protesters, but they cannot take on law-enforcement duties. Why is Trump crossing this line? We will ask Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and the author David Cay Johnston.Author Kyra Davis Lurie will stop by. She is a New York Times best selling author and screenwriter.

Trump is working GOP Senators hard with phone calls and promises in order to get support for his so called Big Beautiful Bill. Though it narrowly passed in the House, moderates and far right-conservatives in the Senate are a big question mark.

While House Speaker Mike Johnson may conveniently not know anything about Trump's crypto dinner, but the New York Times managed to get a hold of the guest list. More than 200 big spenders paid an average of $1.8 million each to attend a dinner with food that reportedly tasted like cardboard. The meme coin winners were served small portions of food described as dull and beverages that included either water or Trump-branded wine. As for the attendees, many of them are big players in the crypto industry, there were a few sports celebrities, including basketball star Lamar Odom, who is starting his own crypto coin. Many tried to stay out of pictures amid a growing security concern among crypto investors. Trump spent time with the top 25 investors and the rest found themselves disappointed. Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with Vladimir Putin, who launched another attack on Ukraine, even as an effort for a cease-fire in peace, talks continueWe'll talk about all of it with Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston.Trump is threatening to raise tariffs on Apple products unless more manufacturing is done in the United States.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is pointing out her colleague Marjorie Taylor Green as an example of the reason a ban on lawmakers trading individual stocks is necessary. A disclosure filing showed the Republican Congresswoman dropped thousands on shares in multiple companies before Trump announced a 90 day pause on tariffs. The Democrat had some harsh words: “We saw Marjorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. I got one question for her: How much did you make? How much did you make off of people's despair? How much did you make off that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering?” We'll go over the details with presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann Today, we celebrate the finale of Mark's Madness 2025.

As if Trump's tariff fallout isn't bad enough, now he is threatening China and they are having none of it.  China announced plans to retaliate against Trump's tariff with a matching 34% tariff against the U.S. Trump claims that if China retaliates, he will raise their tariff to 50%. China is calling Trumps posturing a mistake on top of a mistake as the trade war escalates, markets crash and investors panic. Pulitzer Prize winning author David Cay Johnston joins with a unique perspective about both Trump and the economy. Tech Tuesday brings Jefferson Graham by the show to talk about the latest in gadgets and gear.The Mark Thompson Show 4/8/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

President Trump is telling the media he is the most successful president in history. Traffic at the southern border is down, but some costs remain high. Doge seems to be backfiring and lawsuits are flying over some of his executive orders. Plus, there is a lot of anxiety when it comes to the markets. Is doing a lot more important than doing a lot the right way? We have a poll up this morning asking whether you think Trump has been a successful president so far, based on whether he has done what he has set out to do well or whether he has not done it well. We welcome former ABC White House correspondent Jim Avila to talk about the situation at the border and And Weather deporting criminals is worth the risk of deporting people who have done nothing wrong, and the even bigger risk of disregarding our Constitution.Mark recently sat down with Mike Papantonio.

The incompetence shown by Trump's cabinet members and Vice President is staggering. A group text message on the Signal platform accidentally included a reporter along with Vice President Vance and Secretaries Hegseth, Rubio, Gabbard, National Security Advisor Waltz and more discussing pending military actions. No one checked the text group list or thought to take the conversation to a secure government platform before sharing military operational details. Former national security adviser John Bolton says while Signal is encrypted, it is not equivalent to U.S. government secure telecommunications. Planning military strikes via text puts American military members at risk.  Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called for “accountability for a screw-up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people every day on television for sport.”  Republican Senator John Cornryn called it a huge screw up and Senator Susan Collins said it was inconceivable to her.  There are now calls for an investigation. We will ask Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative reporter David Cay Johnston about this and so much more.It is Tech Tuesday on The Mark Thompson Show.

Longtime readers of this newsletter know that I'm a timelapse video freak. I love using my phone to create videos that see the world fly by at top speeds, with flowing clouds, having day turn night, shadows forming and disappearing, and of course, seeing people running around the world like speedy ants. There's rarely been an episode of PhotowalksTV that didn't have a timelapse section to it, and most of the recent ones have been created with my go-to, favorite timelapse app, the free Blackmagic Camera app, which is available for both Apple and Android devices.

Trump could have used his appearance on Fox over the weekend to calm and reassure nervous investors but instead he ratcheted up the anxiety.

Today, Trump‘s high tariffs against Canada and Mexico will kick in. Trump insists they will help Americans but experts like billionaire investor Warren Buffett say tariffs are an “act of war to some degree.” CBS News asked Buffet whether tariffs will impact inflation and he said: "Over time, they are a tax on goods. I mean, the Tooth Fairy doesn't pay 'em! And then what? You always have to ask that question in economics. You always say, 'And then what?'"Meanwhile, America has a new crypto reserve and crypto markets are thriving under Trump.

With seeming disregard for the constitutional power of Congress and Trump administration leaders questioning of the validity of judges ruling on cases related to an unprecedented grab of presidential power, constitutional experts are warning of a crisis.

There is grave concern that Elon Musk has snatched control of the US Treasury and USAID away from elected officials. His access to the private information of millions of Americans along with intelligence reports is troublesome to say the least.

The Trump administration is moving to assume more control of the federal purse strings. Yesterday, Trump's budget office froze all federal financial assistance. From food stamps to foreign aid, it's all on pause. The only exceptions are Social Security and Medicare. The reason given in the official order? It appears to be a move to counter so called “Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies.” We welcome Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston.

Had Attorney General Merrick Garland moved faster, there's a pretty good chance that now President-elect Donald Trump would be facing serious consequences in the 2020 election interference case. The report by Special Council Jack Smith was released early today and indicates that Smith had enough evidence to convict Trump. Smith also writes that Trump‘s reelection and Constitutional protections for presidents make it impossible to move forward with the prosecution of that case. Smith also wrote that evidence shows the January 6th Capitol attack was Trump's doing. We will welcome Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston to the show.We'll check in on Southern California as a new fire in Ventura County cropped up in strong winds yesterday.

When Trump says “Make America Great Again” does he mean great like in size? In recent days, Trump has resurrected the idea of buying Greenland from Denmark. Greenland, by the way, says they're not interested. He's also threatening to take away the Panama Canal from Panama. Perhaps, Trump intends to amass more American land because real estate deals are the one thing he knows something about.

Trump's choice to oversee the Pentagon couldn't even oversee a couple nonprofits. The New Yorker reports Pete Hegseth was forced to step down from both Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America because of  “serious allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct.” Add that to a rape allegation and a now public letter from his mother in which she made her embarrassment of and disappointment in him clear, and Pete Hegseth is looking like Trump's latest failure. We welcome Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist, and author David Cay Johnston to the show to discuss that and more. Boxes full of tech gadgets keep arriving at Jefferson Graham's house.

The effort to seat Trump's incoming cabinet is a wild, chaotic, cash filled scramble.

Ethics investigation report or not, details of Trump's nominee for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, are oozing out. New details make him even less of a desirable choice to lead the DOJ, but Trump isn't backing down.

Incensed by the idea that his beloved Fox News would interview Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump took to social media. Trump wrote Fox “has grown weak and soft on Democrats.” He accused Fox News anchor Bret Baier, set to interview Harris on Wednesday, of being too soft on the left. He then slammed other Fox hosts. Though Trump has upcoming appearances scheduled on Fox, he says he won't be going on that station anymore. Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston will discuss. Tech Tuesday brings Jefferson Graham by to talk drones and robots.

Vice President Kamala Harris did not get softball questions when she sat down with Bill Whitaker on CBS' 60 Minutes. He pressed her on the economy and on immigration policies, putting the questions to her until he got direct answers. Harris shined when asked about foreign relations and conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. Trump canceled his scheduled 60 Minutes appearance. Trump continues to play politics with people suffering following Hurricane Helene. He is lying about President Biden's response and efforts by FEMA to help those that are affected. His disinformation is causing people that may need assistance to think it's not available.

We get to find out a little more about the Vice Presidential candidates tonight in their only debate of this election. There will not be a live audience at the VP Debate in New York, but unlike the presidential debate, the microphones will stay on. For the last couple of months, Democrat Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance have been disparaging each other from afar, so tonight's meeting will likely be extra frosty. It doesn't help Vance that the Washington Post just released details about text messages he allegedly wrote four years ago calling Trump‘s economic policies a failure and predicting that Trump would lose to President Biden. We will run it all past Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston. Today is former President Jimmy Carter's 100th birthday.

No matter the audience, Donald Trump is trying to scare the hell out of people insisting their livelihoods will end should Vice President Kamala Harris win the election. Trump tells people, no matter their occupation, they won't be able to rely on that job anymore. He is stoking fear against immigrants, insists we should all be afraid of a crime wave (even though violent crime under President Biden has fallen) and of course, that World War III is coming and he alone can fix any conflict with a phone call. If fear isn't enough to get people to fall in line, how about threats? Most recently, Trump told Jewish people at an antisemitic event they would be to blame if he didn't win. He then told Catholics they are being persecuted by the Biden administration ( President Biden is Catholic). While Vice President Harris has referenced what another four years under Trump would look like, especially for women, and has talked about what happened on January 6th, when she speaks about the future and her vision for America, her theme is one of optimism and hope. So which message will resonate with the American people? Will it be the message of fear or will it be the message of hope? We will ask Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston his thoughts. Tech Tuesday brings Jefferson Graham to the show. He will look at how the race to give the world AI is resonating with investors.

Donald Trump has been distancing himself from Project 2025 saying he doesn't know much about it, but a new video shows that he's been in on it the whole time. In 2022, Trump spoke at the Heritage Foundation, praising them for laying the groundwork and making the plans for what he will do when “Americans give us a colossal mandate to save America. And that's coming.”  We welcome Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston to the show to discuss this and more. The new iPhones are headed to market and Jefferson Graham has some tips if you're trying to get one. The Mark Thompson Show 9/17/24Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Jefferson Graham answers your shopping questions about the new iPhone 16 models on the iPhone Photo Show podcast

Looks like Trump might be scared of losing the debate. Much like he has for elections, he is laying the groundwork for wriggling out of coming away the loser before the event even starts. Every chance he gets, Trump is disparaging ABC as being biased against him. According to Politico, he has even accused ABC of giving Vice President Harris the questions in advance, without evidence of course. It's all part of Trump ‘s strategy to make himself seem like he's at a disadvantage, like he's being treated unfairly and should be given an easier time and, should he do poorly, he has ready made blame for others. We welcome Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston to the show to discuss this and more. Jefferson Graham comes to us from Silicon Valley where Apple is introducing new products The Mark Thompson Show 9/10/24Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

It seems we can expect Trump's insults to keep coming. Though his former rivals in the GOP have publicly stated that focusing on issues like the economy and immigration would be a better tactic than mud-slinging, Trump's advisers see the only option as damaging Kamala Harris and keeping her on defense. According to the “Washington Post”, the attacks are in full force when it comes to campaign ads, most of those are Trump commercials targeting Harris. Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author David Cay Johnston will join us to discuss it all. Tech Tuesday brings Jefferson Graham by the show.

The message on the first day the Democratic National Convention was one of moving forward and unity. Warriors Coach Steve Kerr spoke about not staying silent. AOC gave a passion filled speech making it clear the Democratic Party is one for all the people trying to make it in the world. Representative Jasmine Crockett and Senator Raphael Warnock delivered words of hope. Hilary Clinton brought down the house when she said when a barrier falls for one of us, it falls for all of us. She talked about the women that came before her from Shirley Chisholm to Geraldine Ferraro and told the world, “the time is now. The future is here.”  President Biden gave what may be the last big speech of his political career as the crowd waved banners reading, “We Love Joe.” We will bring you all the highlights and a look at what's ahead today at the DNC.Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston will stop by to share his thoughts. Jefferson Graham will swing through to talk Google and fake photos. The Mark Thompson Show 8/20/24Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

The conversation on X between Trump and Elon Musk was plagued with technical issues from the start. Some are wondering if it was technical trouble that made Donald Trump sound slow and like he may have had a lisp or was slurring his words. Maybe it's because he's now pitted against Vice President Kamala Harris who is 20 years younger, but over the last couple of months with rambling speeches at rallies and strange speech patterns, Trump finds himself the candidate struggling with age related issues.We'll check in with Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative reporter David Cay Johnston to get his thoughts. Tech Tuesday brings Jefferson Graham to the show.

Girls Vs Boys? With women's reproductive health on the line, perhaps it's no surprise that the latest presidential polls are highlighting a widening gender gap. A recent New York Times/Siena College poll shows Harris with a 14-point lead over Trump among likely female voters (55% to 41%). Trump is attracting male voters. He has a 17-point lead among men (56% to 39%). The Quinnipiac, CNN and NPR polls all indicate the gender gap to varying degrees. We welcome Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston to the show to discuss politics. It's Tech Tuesday!
