If Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest is any indicator, MAGA, conservatives and conspiracy theorists are no longer aligned. From so called ‘Heritage Americans’ being more important than other more recent Americans to America First policies and blatant racism/antisemitism, the speakers at the event ripped into each other. The infighting was so awkward, Erika Kirk said it “Feels like a Thanksgiving dinner where your family’s hashing out the family business,” JD Vance tried to laugh it off but ended up doing little to bring people together. We’ll talk about it with iHeart TV and radio political analyst Gary Dietrich Astronomy Professor Andrew Fraknoi joins to take us to the stars.

Political activists are being put on notice. The Trump administration is going to try to squash what they are calling "left-wing domestic terrorism. Attorney General Pam Bondi is ordering all federal law enforcement agencies to share intelligence on “Antifa” and “Antifa-related” activities with the FBI. Bondi wants agencies to come up with lists of Americans and foreigners to investigate. Is it the end of free speech in America? We will talk about it with Michael Shure & Mo Kelly on This Week in Politics. Friday Fabulous Florida brings a crazy road rage story! Plus, The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, will stop by to talk movies and streaming options for the weekend ahead. Happy Friday!
The President's address to the nation last night was a smorgasboard of his favorite hits. He railed against former President Biden and touted questionable economic numbers. He did announce a bonus for members of the military. His so called "Warrior Dividend" will be paid for by his controversial tariff policies, without the approval of Congress. We will talk about Trump's odd speech and about the latest release of pictures related to Jeffrey Epstein. Former Federal Prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz will join the conversation to talk about Friday's deadline for the Epstein Files and Ghislaine Maxwell's efforts to get out of her prison camp.
President Trump is moving to put a blockade in place around Venezuela, targeting all “sanctioned oil tankers.” He claims Venezuela is using oil to fund drug trafficking and according to the Associated Press, Trump says he will "continue the military buildup until the country gives the U.S. oil, land and assets. The blockade comes after the US seized an oil tanker in the region last week. Meanwhile, the attacks on suspected "drug boats" off Venezuela continues and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he will not he releasing video of the so called "second strike" video that killed two survivors of one such attack. We'll discuss that and more with politicao analyst and presidential historian John Rothmann. The Mark Thompson Show 12/17/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

It may be that bad mouthing a beloved American Icon on he day he died is too much for even Trump to overcome. Usually, the public expects cruelty from Trump and his outbursts bring a collective shrug. His nasty words about actor/director Rob Reiner being killed because of Trump Derangement Syndrome seem to have been a bridge too far. Even some MAGA faithful are turning away and finding it hard to defend Trump this time. We will talk about it with Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston. It's Tech Tuesday and Jefferson Graham is back from from Japan and ready to talk gadgets. The Mark Thompson Show 12/16/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Blatant theft and an act of piracy. That's what Venezuela is calling the actions of the United States in the seizure of an oil tanker. The ship was leaving Venezuela when US Marines and Special Forces dropped down from a helicopter and took the tanker. It's the latest in a string of actions, including blowing up so called "drug boats", escalating a possible confrontation between the US and Venezuela. We'll discuss whether it was piracy or lawful with former federal prosecutor David Katz.
It appears that GOP leaders in Congress are turning away from extending tax credits that would help more than 20 million Americans pay for Affordable Care Act health insurance. They’re following President Donald Trump’s lead. He told Politico he would not endorse extending subsidies that are set to expire, despite billing himself as the affordability president. So far, Trump’s only plan for healthcare is to give people $2k to pay for it without offering details of how that would work. We welcome presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann to discuss this and more. The Mark Thompson Show 12/10/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Members of Congress from both parties are now supporting the release of the video showing the U.S. carrying out a double-tap strike on a speed boat in the Caribbean. The move reportedly killed two survivors of the initial attack that were in distress. With allegations of war crimes being discussed, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is refusing to say whether the Pentagon will be releasing the video, only that, “We're reviewing the process, and we'll see.”We’ll visit with iHeart TV and radio political analyst Gary Dietrich and we’ll talk politics with author, journalist and scholar.

Even Republican senators are growing wary of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. From Signalgate to allegations of war crimes in the killing of two people already in distress on an alleged drug boat, Hegseth is getting harder to support. We run though the latest developments on This Week in Politics with Michael Shure & Mo Kelly. A check in with J-L Cauvin to see how his congressional bid is going brings a big announcement. Comedian Mark Malkoff joins to talk about late night television and his new book Love Johnny Carson. We”ve got Friday Fabulous Florida and a look at movies with The Culture Blaster Michael Snyder.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is taking heat from all sides. A growing number of members of Congress, both Democrat and Republican, are vowing to provide special oversight after his the "Kill Them All" order took out two people dangling from the wreckage of a boat off the coast of Venezuela. Whether the boat was being used by fishermen or to run drugs is at question, as is whether the men posed a clear and present danger to the United States. If allegations of war crimes in that case weren't enough, the result of Pentagon's Signalgate review conclude that Hegseth violated military regulations when he used the unsecure chat platform to discuss details of US strikes in Yemen. What are the legal ramifications, if any? We'll ask former federal prosecutor David Katz to weigh in.

According to the White House Press Secretary, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized Admiral Frank Bradley to carry out a second strike on a burning drug boat, already hit by one US mortar, in the Caribbean. Two people were hanging off the boat after it was hit the first time and reportedly did not survive the second strike. Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says there is no question the second strike was a war crime. The matter brings to the forefront the question of what constitutes an illegal order and whether Admiral Bradley and those involved in carrying out such killings, have a duty to refuse.We welcome Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston to the show. We’ll talk about this and much more.Today, the White House announced Trump Accounts. The investment accounts are said to be away to help young people prepare for the future.

New details are emerging about who made the call to send a plane load full of immigrants to El Salvador, in direct conflict of a judge's order. The Justice Department says it was Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who made the choice not to comply with federal Judge James Boasberg's order to hold the deportation. Judge Boasberg is looking to revive criminal contempt proceedings against Trump administration officials who authorized the deportation flights.We'll talk about it with political analyst and presidential historian John Rothmann.

FBI Director Kash Patel is being called out for mis-using law enforcement. Patel assigned an FBI SWAT team to protect his girlfriend Alexis Wilkins after she faced online threats. The agents didn’t live up to Patel’s standards for private security. The agents went to the Georgia World Congress Center where Wilkins was speaking and when they found the venue secured and Wilkins in no danger, they left before the event ended. Patel reportedly tore into the team's commander. It wasn’t the only time agents were assigned to watch over Wilkins. Should he have paid for her security himself or should taxpayers assume the cost?We will ask Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston for his thoughts. Does Trump really mean what he says? Linguists Michael Fragomeni and Peter Woods try to make sense of the current political situation.Jefferson Graham joins for Tech Tuesday.The Mark Thompson Show 11/25/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!
