Trump has “TACO'd” again and has drop his demand that Rupert Murdoch be deposed “immediately” because he's “old and sick” in his defamation case against the Wall Street Journal in Miami Federal Court. Michael Popok explains that what likely happened is that Murdoch's lawyers told Trump's lawyers that if he doesn't drop the demand, they will move for sanctions AND immediately take Trump's deposition the next day.

For Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein is the story that won't go away. Most recently, the Wall Street Journal reported about a letter they claim was written by Trump to the late convicted sex offender for his birthday in 2003. And in response, the president is suing the paper and its billionaire owner, Rupert Murdoch. Prof Andrew Dodd speaks to Nour Haydar about how two of the most powerful men in the world got to this point and what could happen next

Donald Trump's DOJ offered immunity to convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. He's still refusing to rule out a pardon for Maxwell! Trump: "I never had the privilege of going to his island." One big reason why we have to win this political war. Sen. Markwayne Mullin thinks Obama was president in 2008. Donald demands that Rupert Murdoch be deposed within 15 days. The Trump DOJ helped overturn a state law requiring clergy to report child sex abuse. Mass shooter in NYC used an eerily familiar weapon. Concentration camp profiteering is underway.

It's a scary time for political media. After decades of shifting business models and consumption habits, news outlets now have to navigate lawsuits from a president who uses the full weight of the government to punish his enemies. Was CBS's decision to axe "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" purely financial, as the network claims—or was it related to the merger they wanted Trump to approve? Brian Stelter, chief media analyst at CNN and author of the "Reliable Sources" newsletter, sits down with Tommy to discuss what exactly happened to Colbert, whether other networks are kowtowing to Trump, and the episode of South Park that no one can stop talking about.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

President Donald Trump continued to air his grievances with the mainstream media this week. First, he filed a $20 billion defamation suit against The Wall Street Journal. The suit claims that a “bawdy” birthday letter to Jeffry Epstein that the paper attributed to Trump is a fake. The president took to Truth Social to demean the paper and its owner Rupert Murdoch. Amid his social media rant, he celebrated previous victories over ABC News and CBS. Should we be concerned about the stability of press freedoms under the second Trump administration?Masked ICE agents have become a frequent sight around the United States since Trump's return to office. Democratic leaders across the country are pushing legislation that would ban federal law enforcement from hiding their identities. Is it a distraction from deeper questions about the standing of immigrants in America?Plus, KCRW discusses who the president is really speaking for when he calls for the return of some controversial sports team names.

David Waldman is out of here! Almost! Whacha wanna talk about? How about Jeffery Epstein? Other than ”Trump's tiny peen”, the “Epstein files” are the country's most talked about topic. Ghislaine Maxwell is conversant in either subject, of course, but would rather be moving on at this stage.  Donald P.P. Trump says he hasn't “thought about” pardoning Ghislaine and therefore has decided to. That wouldn't quiet much down, as Gops have arranged to keep talking on the subject through the Fall, the DOJ has more than 100,000 pages' of unreleased Epstein materials, Epstein's estate has his 50th birthday book, Rupert Murdoch gets to testify, and Steven KG Bannon has 15 hours of Epstein interviews...  The only way out is for the administration to admit mistakes and defeat… heh, heh. Or they could blame it on AI. How? Well, they'd have to ask AI. Sam Altman tells investors that the first step would be to create an all-powerful AI, the second step would be instant profit and/or annihilation. Just kidding. People don't require something as sophisticated as AI to bamboozle them. You can't fool Jerome Powell. TACO couldn't pull one over on him. There's hope for the future as textbook publishers refuse to go MAGA. Big MAGA dummy Pete Hick-Seth was sharing secret documents, with “SECRET” written right across them, on Signal after all. If you are a Hegseth aide looking to steal a little valor, hurry, your time might be limited. On the other hand, old work buddy Mike Waltz did find himself a new gig as UN ambassador... Mar-a-Lago classified documents witnesses picked up $310,000 tip from the RNC, probably tax-free. Instead of Trump's tiny peen, check out his big, beautiful deal with Japan, although the more you do look at it, the less impressive it becomes.

Donald Trump has sued the Wall Street Journal over its story saying he wrote a weird poem to Jeffrey Epstein and drew a caricature of a naked woman with his own signature as her pubic hair as part of a book wishing a happy 50th birthday to the New York financier. Ken and Josh discuss the suit, which looks more like an exclamation point on his claims that he never even liked that Epstein guy! than a serious effort to win damages from (or extort) the Rupert Murdoch empire. Meanwhile, Trump is seeking the release of grand jury testimony from the investigations into Epstein and his henchwoman Ghislaine Maxwell — a release that wouldn't be likely to include any books of ribald poetry.Also this week: Trump's lawsuit against Bob Woodward and Simon & Schuster — claiming that Woodward and S&S violated Trump's copyright by publishing the audio of interviews Trump thought were only for use in a written book — has been dismissed; Trump is facing difficulty with another novel application of IEEPA — this time, not tariffs, but an effort to sanction the International Criminal Court, there's a certified class in the birthright citizenship litigation; a federal judge in California says ICE can't pick people up just because they look Mexican; and some government immigration lawyers have started appearing anonymously in immigration court; an extra-bizarre civil RICO suit against Eric Adams and the NYPD, from Adams's own ex-interim NYPD commissioner; Douglass Mackey, a.k.a. “Ricky Vaughn,” has won an appeal of his conviction for trying to trick Hillary Clinton voters into “voting” by text.Visit serioustrouble.show for a transcript of this episode.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 147: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: We have been burying the lede here. Trump. Is. Suing. Murdoch. Trump and Murdoch are at war. Over Jeffrey Epstein. The two worst people in the country, probably the world, at each other's throats, until further notice. Weeks, months, years. Amid rumors Murdoch's people at the Wall Street Journal are upworking ANOTHER Trump-Epstein/Epstein-Trump/Trumpstein story. And that Murdoch is preparing a Defcon scenario in which he turns Fox News against Trump. Because if Trump is stupid enough to try to put Murdoch out of business, Murdoch will have no choice but to try to put Trump out of business. Trump also seems to be doing everything else he can think of to make sure the Trumpstein story never leads the headlines again. Attacks his own people again. Left a paper trail inside the DOJ and FBI of Pam Bondi searching for thousands of Trump references inside an evidence pit the size of The New York Public Library. Changing the story of the latest plot against him for the sixth time in a week. And watching the polls - 17% approve of his handling of the Epstein issue - actually get worse since just last Thursday (89% want everything, not just the almost-meaningless Grand Jury testimony, released). Oh by the way there IS a Trump Client List inside DOJ/FBI. The only part of Trump's claim that there isn't that's true, is that it may not bear that title. There's literally 40 computers, 70 CDs of video, and 300 gigabytes of data. The Trumpstein story will swamp his presidency. For sheer volume it exceeds almost everything else Trump has ever done. It makes Watergate look like the editing out of four words in a 5,000 word document. IT'S WONDERFUL. Trumpstein, Trumpstein, Trumpstein. ALSO: Trump's unpopularity has now reached 1st Term proportions. Tulsi Gabbard is conflating two Russian stories and claiming the one nobody believed (Russia tampered with voting machines) disproves the one Robert Mueller proved (Russia hacked emails and got them to Trump's campaign). How does that work? I'll explain the psychology of morons who want to please their bosses, with the story of Tennessee Ernie Williams. And if you think Trump isn't brain dead he wrote something that must've come directly from a dream about how the Cleveland Guardians (formed 1901, not named "Indians" until 1915) are one of baseball's "six original teams" (Major League Baseball started 30 years earlier; it's HOCKEY with "the original six" and that's wrong too). B-Block (39:15) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: I understand this busts the narrative and reduces our ability to suffer as martyrs, but there is one inarguable and unanswerable fact that disproves the almost-universally accepted premise that CBS cancelled Stephen Colbert solely to appease Trump. It's this: If they are silencing him, why have they decided to keep him on TV for THE NEXT TEN MONTHS? This is the Phil Donahue cancellation all over again. It works to CBS's corporate advantage to make it look like they are sucking up to the psycho. Sorry. This is the least of the reasons. C-Block (1:09:10) MONDAYS WITH THURBER: Haven't done any of his priceless stories lately, and with Trump's new permanent Trumpstein Crisis, it's fitting to do James Thurber's stunningly prophetic saga "The Greatest Man In The World."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More bad news for Trump and his ill-advised Miami Federal defamation lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal for billions of dollars—the presiding judge has been assigned and it is Judge Daryn Gayles, the same judge that handled Trump's losing case against Michael Cohen. Michael Popok who knows Judge Gayles well, explains Gayles' court room process that could end in Trump dismissing the case before it goes much further.

Today's Headlines: Fallout from a Wall Street Journal report revealing a bizarre birthday note allegedly from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein continues, with Trump denying authorship and suing the WSJ, Rupert Murdoch, and others for $10 billion in a defamation suit filed in Judge Aileen Cannon's district. Meanwhile, VP JD Vance quietly visited Murdoch just before the story broke, and the DOJ moved to unseal grand jury records on Epstein as reports suggest Trump's name triggered special review protocols within the FBI. Over in entertainment, CBS abruptly canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert shortly after Colbert slammed parent company Paramount for a Trump-linked $16M “settlement”—timed suspiciously with FCC approval requests for the Paramount–Skydance merger. Congress also voted to slash $1.1 billion in public broadcasting funds, disproportionately affecting rural NPR stations. On immigration, new reporting exposed unacknowledged passengers on deportation flights and the botched deportation of an elderly asylum recipient, now hospitalized in Guatemala after vanishing from ICE custody. Internationally, an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza church killed civilians and earned Netanyahu an apology call to the Pope, frustrating the Trump White House amid fragile ceasefire talks in Syria. And in financial news, the so-called GENIUS Act passed, boosting crypto markets by letting banks treat stablecoins as assets, not liabilities—just in time for “crypto week” on the Hill.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Marconi award winning host Dan Mandis fills in for Gary and Eric tonight. Dan begins with accusations of a Russian collusion after Donald Trump was elected in 2016 as the Democrats began their war against the President. It began with a dirty dossier from the exiting Obama administration serving as the groundwork for a coop against Donald Trump. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard detailed "striking" findings from declassified documents released Friday, claiming to showcase "overwhelming evidence" that an Obama-era cabal laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe after the 2016 election. Also more fallout from CBS' cancellation of The Late Show with Steven Colbert as Democrats continue to politicize the issue, the Epstein case and the President's lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal, the notion of the DNC actually considering installing Kamala Harris as the Democratic front-runner in 2028, JD Vance is a shoe-in for the RNC in 2028, audio from Barack Obama on how young boys need a second (gay) father influence in their life and President Trump challenges the Washington Commanders to change back to the Washington Redskins, but does it supersede what's considered a business decision.

In the conclusion of Kim Masters' two-part conversation with Barry Diller, the veteran businessman reflects on his time helping build Rupert Murdoch's Fox empire. Diller also criticizes studios for spreading misinformation—citing Oliver Stone's JFK in particular—and weighs in on the now-resolved Trump-Paramount dispute, and the prospect of a David Ellison-led studio.

Donald Trump's desperate desire to make everyone stop talking about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein has run contrary to his petulance as his lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch for publishing his creepy birthday message to Epstein guarantees new news and developments in the story for the public to discuss for months to come. Former U.S. attorney Harry Litman, and MSNBC senior reporter Brandy Zadrozny discuss Trump's disastrous damage control.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- On Thursday night, the Wall Street Journal released a story which accuses President Donald Trump of once writing and signing a birthday letter for Jeffrey Epstein.

The Wall Street Journal drops a front page story alleging Donald Trump wrote Jeffrey Epstein a 50th birthday card decades ago and drew a naked woman on it, a "bombshell" so preposterous, only MSNBC is seriously pushing it. Trump says he will sue the WSJ and Rupert Murdoch for printing the story despite his adamant denials that he wrote the "letter." Will the tall tale do the opposite the Deep State hopes and bring MAGA back to full-circle support for Trump? Generic polling doesn't look good for democrats.

We begin with how the DOGE cuts package will affect funding for various services and industries.
