The Supreme Court clears the way for Trump to revoke legal protections for over 500,000 migrants—while a 2-year-old U.S. citizen is deported with her undocumented parents to Brazil. A new Trump rant sends stock futures tumbling, and Elon Musk's drug-fueled chaos on the campaign trail adds another bizarre chapter. Speaker Mike Johnson flip-flops on the Congressional Budget Office, suddenly calling it partisan for warning Trump's “big beautiful bill” will explode the deficit—despite having used the CBO to attack Biden in the past. Meanwhile, the White House scrambles to correct formatting issues in RFK Jr.'s “MAHA Report.” Hosts: John Iadarola, Michael Shure, Wosny Lambre SUBSCRIBE on YOUTUBE ☞ https://www.youtube.com/@TheYoungTurks FOLLOW US ON: FACEBOOK ☞ https://www.facebook.com/theyoungturks TWITTER ☞ https://twitter.com/TheYoungTurks INSTAGRAM ☞ https://www.instagram.com/theyoungturks TIKTOK ☞ https://www.tiktok.com/@theyoungturks
Late Sunday night, Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill”cleared an important House Committee. Conservatives that wanted deeper cuts to MedicAid got some changes made that led them toward advancing this massive tax cut and border security package. Speaker Mike Johnson isn't saying what the changes include, calling them minor things. It was a crazy music related weekend for Trump. He posted a video of himself lip syncing Journey's “Don't Stop Believing” and he unleashed verbal attacks on Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift. Michael Shure is in for Mark Thompson today.

Trump keeps tapping his favorite Fox talent pool to help fill government jobs. This time, Judge Jeanine Pirro will be stepping in to head the largest U.S. Attorney's office in the country.

Fresh polling by multiple agencies shows Trump losing support, bigly. ABC says Trump has the “lowest 100-day approval rating in 80 years.” Results are similar from CNN and AP. Trump's support is falling among voters and also among Republicans in Congress where what appeared to be a unified front a couple months ago now appears to be splintering. In addition, an RMG Poll of likely voters shows that if an election for Congress were held today, 48 percent would vote for the Democrat on their ballot, while 44 percent would vote for the Republican.We will check the numbers with journalist Michael Shure and iHeart radio and TV political analyst Gary Dietrich.The Mark Thompson Show 4/28/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Trump seems to have miscalculated when it comes to trying to bully China into a trade deal. Trump says he is making progress with China, but hasnt offered any specifics. China says it is not even engaged in any negotiations with the U.S. The country is working to form an international trade coalition that will exclude the United States. Add that to a rocky ride for investors, concerns about the dollar and a come to Jesus meeting with the CEOs of Target, Walmart and Home Depot and Trump is blinking first, softening his position on tariffs and caving to pressure as China digs in. We've got journalists Michael Shure and Jim Avila on the show today to lay it all out. We'll check in on those crazy kids in Florida and find out about the latest movie and streaming options with the Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appears to be a prolific texter of America's secrets. Because a journalist was mistakenly added to texts on the Signal platform about the timing of a bombing in Yemen, that incident was well reported. Now, there is word of a second Signal group chat regarding the same attack. Even more egregious, this one reportedly happened on his personal phone and included his wife, lawyer and brother. Damaging Infomation about Hegseth is surfacing after the ouster at least four former Pentagon officials Hegseth fired last week.Michael Shure helms the show today.The Mark Thompson Show 4/21/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Despite everything laid out in Project 2025, Trump 2.0 is a chaotic disaster. While it seems Trump and friends are trying to follow the script, they just can't seem to get anything right. Trump‘s tariff plan put the global economy in the dumpster and made him look like an amateur. His immigration policy, while slowing traffic at the border, has put him on a head-on collision course with the courts. Even his beloved Supreme Court allies are rolling their eyes at the bumbling Trump clown car. The move to cut government spending resulted in an on again off again firing spree, making it difficult for federal workers to function. From measles outbreaks to plane crashes to a ridiculous focus on retribution instead of tackling pressing matters, Trump's second term looks like a full on mess. John Aravosis will stop by to talk politics. You may know him from his wildly successful offerings AmeriBlog or The Aravosis Report on TikTok. We welcome journalists Michael Shure and Jim Avila to the show to recap this week in politics. Their insight, wisdom and witty banter make this a segment not to be missed. We'll pay a visit to our friends in Florida for a little levity on a Friday. Plus, The Culture Blaster Michael Snyder will slide in to share the best in streaming and movies in theaters.
Nearly every well regarded economist is looking at Trump's tariff plan with disdain. Former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen called it “the worst self-inflicted wound that I have ever seen an administration impose on a well-functioning economy” to Nobel laureate Paul Krugman who says, “Anyone sounding the all-clear on tariffs, or Trump economic policy in general, should be kept away from sharp objects and banned from operating heavy machinery.” With markets still reacting to an uncertain future, and the possibility of more tariffs, we are not out of the woods yet. We've got journalist, Jim Avila and Michael Shure, who will stop by to talk about the top political stories of the week. We'll stop in to see how the folks of Florida are handling this crazy week. The Culture Blaster Michael Snyder will bring us all the latest details on movies and streaming. Add to that, Mark's Madness and Friday is looking pretty sweet!
Trump's tariff liberation day sent shock waves across world markets and now economists say the move is increasing the risk of recession. Trump seemed unaffected saying, “ The markets are going to boom, the stock is going to boom and the country is going to boom.” We'll talk about it as we wrap up “This Week in Politics” with journalists Jim Avila and Michael Shure. Emergency Room Dr. Michael Daignault stops by to talk about an escalating measles outbreak and cuts made by Health and Human Services. Throw in fun times with Friday Fabulous Florida and The Culture Blaster Michael Snyder and you've got a winning Friday show!
The Signal scandal may have been touched off by National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, but it's highlighting the inexperience of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Hegseth's texting of military operational details about an impending attack on a terrorist organization is making some Trump administration officials question whether he has the good judgement needed to handle a real crisis. We'll recap the week in politics with former ABC White House corrrespondent Jim Avila and journalist Michael Shure. Mark's Madness continues, Friday Fabulous Florida spotlights our most interesting state and The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, brings the best in entertainment right to you.
Hammered by lower court rulings against him, Donald Trump is looking for ways to move his contested executive orders forward faster. Trump is asking the Supreme Court to clear his path and if they do, it will be a game changer. JD Vance got booed big time at the Kennedy Center. He was at a symphony performance with his wife when the crowd let him have it. Jim Avila returns to The Mark Thompson Show. The former network correspondent will talk politics with political journalist Michael Shure. Add that to Friday Fabulous Florida and the movie and streaming reviews of the Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, and you've got an awesome Friday show!
It's a cat and mouse game of will there or won't there be tariffs. Today's answer is wildly different from yesterday's and last week's. Now, carmakers are getting a pause on 25% import levies until early April. Other items covered by the North America's free trade pact are also exempt including televisions, air conditioners, avocados and beef. What will tomorrow bring? Likely more uncertainty as markets continue to be volatile. How did America get to this place and how can we get out of it? Author Karherine Stewart sits down with Mark to explore the themes of her new book, “Money, Lies and God.” Journalist and political reporter Michael Shure stops by to wrap up this week in politics. We'll visit our wild Florida friends to see what kind of trouble meth, booze and gators brought this week.

How America's foreign policy realignment under Donald Trump threatens to unravel decades of global alliances and what history tells us about what might come next
Donald Trump is trying to take control of the US Postal Service. According to the Washington Post, Trump plans to sign an executive order that will fire the Postal Service's governing board so the agency will no longer function independently, He wants the USPS under the control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick. The board isn't going quietly and is reportedly planning to sue. Elon Musk celebrated firing government workers at CPAC last night by parading around on stage with a chain saw. In addition to being woefully insensitive as people lose their incomes, his chain saw approach to making cuts has resulted in some agencies scrambling to rehire key workers. Friday brings the amazing Michael Shure to The Mark Thompson Show. A political journalist, Shure brings a unique perspective to the conversation. We find our way to Friday Fabulous Florida! The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, brings his the fun along with his critic's eye to this week's entertainment offerings.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's judgement is already in question after he extended an invitation to the Pizzagate conspiracy theorist. Hegseth included far-right influencer Jack Posobiec - offering him a media invitaton on his first official trip to Europe this week. Posobiec might not be able to roll with Hegseth as his online posts indicate that he is already in Ukraine with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Clearly, Posobiec is in demand by Trump administration officials despite pushing the Pizzagate lie and whipping up such a furor that an armed man went looking for the non-existent pizza parlor basement where Democrats were alleged to have been doing horrible things and fired a shot in the restaurant. No injuries. We welcome our favorite hockey fan, journalist Michael Shure to the show to discuss that and so much more. We are off to explore Friday Fabulous Florida where Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd has a special Valentines messsge for us. The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, brings us all the best entertainment offerings this week, from the theaters to streaming options.
Federal workers are getting bullied into resigning. According to Politico, Trump administration officials are sending multiple messages trying to convince staff to take a deferred resignation deal. Many federal workers aren't sure that deal is legal or will even be honored. For now, threats of layoffs, cutting entire office locations and being replaced with AI are keeping the pressure on federal workers. We will check in with Josh Mankiewicz from Dateline NBC. When Mark & Josh get together, the conversation can go anywhere from politics to murder. Political journalist Michael Shure will join us to look at the wild week in Washington DC. Friday Fabulous Florida brings a lighthearted look at the weird that is uniquely Florida. We'll cruise into the weekend with the Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder. He'll bring us the latest on movies, streaming options and more.
Two of America's top trading partners, Canada, and Mexico, will get a taste of what it's like to be Donald Trump‘s neighbor this weekend. Saturday, Trump says 25% tariffs will be announced…tariffs that he says may increase over time. Why rile up the neighbors? Trump says he is fighting back against an increase of migrants at the southern border, fentanyl coming into the United States and the trade deficit the U.S. has with both countries. Trump says neither Mexico nor Canada has treated the U.S. fairly on trade and “we don't need the products that they have.” We'll talk about it with journalist and political analyst Michael Shure. A little trip southward is in order for Friday Fabulous Florida. We'll see what those crazy kids have been up to this week. The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, joins us for a look at the hottest movies and streaming options this week.

Trump's sympathetic Supreme Court decided not to intervene in his hush money trial sentencing hearing. At sentencng, Trump lashed out at the judicial system that was used against him. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the more liberal justices in allowing the sentencing to move forward. The justices decided that Trump could address any problems he has with the verdict through appeals, and that because the judge has indicated Trump will not face jail time, probation or fines, "the burden that sentencing will impose on the President-Elect's responsibilities is relatively insubstantial.” Political analyst and journalist Michael Shure joins. We are covering the Southern California wildfires on The Mark Thompson Show. We will discuss the latest details as well as the arrest of a man for arson in connection with the fire near Calabasas.

The chaos of the Trump/Musk GOP, a new Democratic strategy for opposing Donald Trump, Paula Hawkins' “The Girl on the Train,” and more
In a show of power and influence, Elon Musk whispered his dismay over a bipartisan government funding deal into Donald Trump's ear and the pair worked to threaten and pressure Republicans to support a different last minute Trump/Musk approved deal. Even so, dozens of Republicans joined Democrats in voting down the revised bill - which included a two-year suspension of the debt limit. House Speaker Mike Johnson says Republicans will "come up with another solution" but the deadline to avoid a government shutdown is today. Journalist and political analyst Michael Shure returns - this time as a guest. We'll talk politics and get his take on the shutdown situation. It's a very Florida Christmas.

Americans are increasingly frustrated with the cost of health Insurance - from out of pocket costs to prescribed treatments not being covered. The reaction to the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson highlights the anger boiling toward companies making billions off the backs of people who feel they are being treated unfairly and with an utter lack of empathy. We'll talk about it with journalist Michael Shure. We'll also ask him about rumblings that President Biden could issue preemptive pardons to protect targets of Trump's retribution campaign.

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy discuss details of their plans to eliminate some governmental rules along with many federal workers. As part of the Department of Governmental, Efficiency, the pair will be outside volunteers overseeing a staff of “small government crusaders.” They are looking to make administrative and regulatory cuts and save money. The plan is to “identify rules that exceed the authority Congress granted agencies.” They'll run it past lawyers and then present it to Trump who will be able to take executive action. If regulations are cut, the staff working in those areas will likely be unnecessary. Team DOGE will be whittling agencies down to the minimum number required to perform legal and constitutional duties. Those workers who lose jobs will not be saved by civil service protections, according to Musk and Ramaswamy as cuts would fall under a “reduction in force.” We will discuss it with political analyst and journalist, Michael Shure. We'll also ask him what he thinks about Pam Bondi, Trump‘s new candidate to be the US Attorney General. We'll swing by Florida to see what those crazy kids are up to.

The end of presidential campaigning seems to be heightening Trump‘s anger at… well, everything. After some violent words toward the press and Liz Cheney and a long, weird and inappropriate rant about his microphone malfunctioning at a weekend rally, he's now incensed over new polling data out of Iowa putting Vice President Kamala Harris in the lead. The Seizer poll for the Des Moines Register has Harris over Trump by three points. The pollster tells MSNBC Harris leads in Iowa's early voting “because of her strength with women generally, even stronger with women aged 65 and older. Her margin is more than 2-to-1 – and this is an age group that shows up to vote or votes early in disproportionately large numbers.”Trump took to social media to talk about how much he has done for farmers in Iowa and pointed to other polls he feels are more accurate. On this day before the election, we welcome, political analyst and journalist Michael Shure to kick off the show with a recap of weekend politics. The conversation continues with CBS television and iHeartRadio political analyst Gary Dietrich. With election coverage center stage, our regular Monday True Crime Corner and Animal segments will resume next Monday. The Mark Thompson Show 11/4/24Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

A red flag for Trump. Early voting data and polling in Pennsylvania shows the senior vote leaning in favor of Harris. According to Politico, voters over the age of 65 have cast nearly half of the early ballots in Pennsylvania and registered Democrats account for about 58 percent of votes cast by seniors, compared to 35 percent for Republicans. we will dig into the numbers to find out what's happening. We start the show talking politics with TYTs Cenk Uyger and Michael Shure. Friday Fabulous Florida brings machetes and gators! It's like they make the news just to please us. The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, brings his critics eye to the show. He'll look at a number of new movie releases and streaming series - in case you're looking to catch some good entertainment this weekend.
ESPN host Stephen A. Smith had to correct Sean Hannity yesterday on Fox. Hannity was trying to normalize Trump's mental state and Smith wasn't having it. In trying to defend Donald Trump, Hannity said Harris struggles to speak in public and that she hast to give word salads because she can't say how she really feels. Smith called Hannity out: 'I know you're not talking about someone being lucid and cogent, and enunciating their thoughts with clarity, and you're bragging about Donald Trump,' 'We can't be watching the same stuff if that's what you're doing. You're not gonna do that today.' We will speak with journalist Anthony Davis, our favorite Britisher and the host of The Five Minute News on Miedas Touch Network. We will check in on our brothers and sisters in the South with Friday Fabulous Florida. Journalist and political analyst Michael Shure will stop by to talk politics. The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, has a lot of great movies on his list to review today along with a couple of streaming options.
Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk is kickong off a series of solo rallies in support of Donald Trump. Yesterday, Musk appeared at a high school In Ridley Township, Pennsylvania. He called the state of linchpin of this election. Musk told the crowd that if they cared about the US Constitution, they would vote for Trump. Trump is the only candidate who has advocating suspending the United States Constitution. He's also the only candidate who tried to get around constitutional election rules with a slate of fake electors in 2020. Musk is also offering voters $47 for each signature of a registered voter they can get on a petition in support of the first and second amendments. We welcome journalist and political analyst Michael Shure to the show. We'll ask him whether Musk's rallies could make a difference and we will also ask him about Donald Trump‘s meltdown as he called for President Biden‘s return to the race for the White House.Friday Fabulous Florida returns with a look at the latest happenings in one of our very favorite states.The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, is ready to go!

You would think that while standing behind a podium in Detroit, Michigan trying to court voters, a presidential candidate would not badmouth a city to its own residents. That's what Trump did yesterday. Speaking at the Detroit Energy Club, Trump rambled on for nearly three hours. He took the opportunity to express his dismay over Vice President Kamala Harris' “60 Minutes” interview, and said that if she's elected, the entire country “will end up being like Detroit.” Here's the quote: “The whole country's going to be like — you want to know the truth? It'll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's your president. You're going to have a mess on your hands.” That did not go over well with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer who responded to Trump on X, writing “keep Detroit out of your mouth. Detroit is the epitome of ‘grit,' defined by winners willing to get their hands dirty to build up their city and create their communities—something Donald Trump could never understand. So keep Detroit out of your mouth. And you better believe Detroiters won't forget this in November.” We will look at that story as well as the latest poll numbers from swing states when we welcome journalist and political analyst Michael Shure to the show. In light of the suffering in Florida following hurricanes Helene and Milton, we've decided to suspend Friday Fabulous Florida this week out of respect for people going through a really hard time. We bring you instead: Stories from the sky The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, will swing by to fill us in on what's worthy of our time at the movies this weekend.
Colorado Republican Tina Peters is headed to jail. As a former Colorado county clerk, she promoted Trump's 2020 election lies and was behind a security breach of Mesa County's voting system. In other words, she tried to cheat and take the voice away from the voters she was supposed to protect. Tina Peters was convicted of four felony and three misdemeanor charges in connection with using another person's security badge to allow someone connected to MyPillow guy Mike Lindell, access to county election equipment. The judge in the case had extremely harsh words for her actions. Republican Liz Cheney appeared at a campaign rally alongside Kamala Harris in Wisconsin yesterday. They both spoke about January 6th, the need to uphold the Constitution of the United States and how we must put country over party. We are fortunate to have political analyst and journalist Michael Shure to break all of this down. We know that our friends in Florida continue to recover from Hurricane Helene. Friday Fabulous Florida continues, but despite the fun nature of this segment, please know our hearts are with you. The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, is coming to the show with a pile of movies to review. Settle in for his fast paced, interesting critiques with a dose of grandiloquence.
Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz seemed a bit nervous as the debate started, but got over that pretty quickly. Republican JD Vance was confident from the start and presenting a side of himself that voters have not yet seen, someone who, on the surface, seems reasonable. While the debate was surprisingly civil (mics were only disabled once), Vance masterfully spun lies into his answers and tried to divert Walz attention from the main issues with minutiae. At the end of debate, Walz asked Vance if he could agree that Trump lost the last election. Vance couldn't do it, giving Walz the chance to highlight a major shortcoming. We welcome journalist and political analyst Michael Shure to discuss it. Presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann will join us to talk politics.
From golden sneakers to bibles, Trump is slapping his name on anything he thinks will make him a buck. With only two months until the election, it seems everything must go. In the last couple of weeks, Trump silver coins, Trump watches, and Trump crypto have all launched. The watches are selling from between $500-$100,000. Trump did not design or manufacture the watches. He just licensed his name to the product. Over the last couple of years, Trump has made millions of dollars selling products with his name emblazoned. No former president or presidential candidate has sold themselves in this way. Donald Trump is appealing the $480 million judgement in his New York civil fraud case. Some of the appeals court judges appear sympathetic despite the original judge in the case finding that Trump spent years lying about his wealth and the value of his properties duping banks into giving him better loans and insurers into giving him better rates. Journalist and political analyst Michael Shure will stop by the show to talk about it all.Before Albert left for the beaches of Hawaii, he put together quite the Friday Fabulous Florida. It's got drugs, fighting, and swamp creatures - a Florida trifecta. In all seriousness, our hearts go out to the people of Florida as they deal with flooding and damage done by Hurricane Helene. We continue to hope for the safety of all our Floridian friends.The Culture Blaster Michael Snyder is feeling much better. He returns with a big list of movies to review! This is going to be great!
