Podcast appearances and mentions of Lester Holt

Stocks surge after U.S. and China announce pause on most tariffs; Lester Holt speaks with Pope Leo; U.S. hostage Edan Alexander released; and more on tonight's broadcast.

In all the tariff turbulence, the networks have obsessed over economics with a very negative tone, even on the typically soft-news morning shows. Good news on inflation and employment is buried in the "meltdown" hype.

NBC has announced that Tom Llamas will take over as anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News after Lester Holt's departure. But why was Holt pushed out?

Joy Reid has since been fired from her show, "The ReidOut." Additionally, NBC stalwart Lester Holt is exiting "NBC Nightly News." Are we witnessing a transition of the mainstream media, or are the networks trying to salvage their bottom line?

The longtime host of the NBC signature program “Nightly News” is leaving his post, as Joy Reid and others learn their fates. New video today of Joy Reid sobbing and claiming “my show had value”… I would dispute that. Meanwhile, my friend Dan Bongino is heading to the FBI! Trish says this means big trouble for the Clintons and Hunter… Kash plus Dan is quite a combo. From Russia, Russia, Russia to the Clinton Global Initiative - it's all on the table. And Dan, like Kash, knows his stuff. Dan Bongino, for what it's worth, also happens to have been Hillary Clinton's former Secret Service detail -- and he's not a fan. President Trump says the war in Ukraine is coming to and end - we have the latest from the White House and… The Philadelphia Eagles may still be heading to Washington DC to meet with the President and celebrate their win. (Could their mayor just learn to spell the team name first?) Those stories and more in today’s live edition of The Trish Regan Show.

Here are 3 Big Things you need to know to start today—   Number One— Another Democrat Senator is in hot water—this time its Sheldon Whitehouse—The Rhode Island lefty was apparently making decisions that benefitted his wife's charity—BUT don't worry you got to pay for it—   Number Two— This week NBC News saw more people fly out the door—Joy Reid and Alex Wagner got the boot—and Lester Holt ran for the exit—is anyone left?   Number Three— Kash Patel is the new FBI director under the Trump administration – and I couldn't be more excited. Kash has joined me many times on this program and others here – and he's long called for transparency and accountability from our institutions – especially the FBI.

Marc & the crew dive into a packed show, reflecting on the passing of Grammy-winning legend Roberta Flack and her lasting impact on music. They roast Billy McFarland's audacious attempt to relaunch Fyre Festival 2—yes, really—and discuss Lester Holt's exit from NBC Nightly News. The chaos of daylight saving time changes gets a closer look, with debates on whether the U.S. should finally end the clock-switch madness.

Marc & the crew tackle big headlines on the 2nd hour of the Marc Cox Morning Show. Dan Bongino's controversial FBI appointment stirs debate, drawing sharp contrasts with Andrew McCabe's political baggage. Bill Maher issues a stark warning to Democrats on transgender policy, Trump's tariffs reignite economic debates, and Kevin O'Leary blasts government waste. The DOJ's shutdown of the federal police misconduct database sparks activist outrage, while Marc questions the narrative of systemic abuse. Former Missouri Senator John Lamping joins to break down Bayer's fight for lawsuit immunity over Roundup and the looming Senate filibuster that could derail conservative priorities like tax cuts. Plus, In Other News covers Roberta Flack's legacy, Fyre Festival 2's ridiculous return, Lester Holt's NBC departure, and the never-ending chaos of daylight saving time.

Joy Reid gets fired from MSNBC and Lester Holt quits NBC so the guys discuss their thoughts on where mainstream media goes as it has already made some major moves in 2025. The guys then briefly discuss Germany's election results and how American politics might have had some influence on how well their Germany-first right wing political party did overall. 

Dan Bongino is named the Deputy Director of the FBI and all of the State Run Media, Deep State crazies lost their minds. Lester Holt stepping down at NBC. Weird how all of these Liberal talkers are getting out of the business now that the USAID money is gone. Trump and French President Macron meet at the White House discussing a peace agreement in Ukraine. 

Music talk. Joy Reid. Lester Holt.

Meanwhile, Trump just secured a massive $500 billion Apple investment in the U.S., proving once again that America First policies actually work. Tech giants are suddenly throwing money at domestic expansion, but is it about innovation, or survival?
