    Natalie Harp's Brother Speaks Out, Fox Reacts to Angie Nixon's Victory, Ossoff Goes VIRAL (8/19/26)

    Progressive Democrats made a surprising splash in Florida’s Senate primary as state Rep. Angie Nixon beat Alex Vindman, setting up a tough general election against GOP Sen. Ashley Moody and signaling possible left-wing momentum in President Trump’s home state.  We will look at election results from Alaska as well, where Democrats think they may have a road to the Senate.  In Wyoming, Megan Degenfelder becomes the 5th Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate to lose a primary this election cycle.  It seems that having Trump's support isn't the key to winning anymore.  Guests today include John Rothmann.  He is the host of the podcast "Around the Political World with John Rothmann" and a former KGO Radio host.   Belinda Waymouth joins us to talk about the environment. Our favorite eco-journalist brings the latest on efforts to drill for oil off the coast of California, but you will leave the show feeling hopeful as she always packs positive stories about our world too.  The Mark Thompson Show  8/19/26 Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

    White House Attacks Reporter Over Natalie Harp, Trump Becoming Lame-Duck, David Cay Johnston Joins

    Donald Trump’s political problems are getting harder to ignore — and his options overseas may be shrinking just as fast. A brand-new Reuters/Ipsos poll has Trump’s approval at just 33 percent, the lowest of his presidency, with 64 percent disapproving and a remarkable 80 percent of Americans now expecting the Iran war to drag on. Meanwhile, Trump’s promised quick resolution with Iran looks increasingly elusive: the negotiating period has expired without a deal, the Strait of Hormuz remains a dangerous sticking point, and Trump is escalating his rhetoric even as his practical choices for ending the conflict appear increasingly limited. We’ll look at a president boxed in abroad, battered in the polls at home, and running out of room to maneuver on both fronts. Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta may be pulling a trick from Johnny Carson’s Carnac the Magnificent when it comes to predictions. Acosta recently guessed that President Trump would check out of the White House early, before his term is up. Acosta cited trump’s issues with cognitive decline, a disasterous job on affordability and the possibility that the Democrats could sweep the midterm elections as reasons for Trump’s growing frustration. Acosta also said a major event could force Trump out, like if he is caught overtly trying to steal the midterm elections. Military analysts think a big catastrophe forcing Trump out might not be far off if he continues with his Iran plans. We will put it to our Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston. Find David Cay Johnston: https://substack.com/@davidcayjohnston https://www.dcreport.org/ Christian nationalists are gaining more of a foothold in America with Trump‘s Religious Liberty task force and the promotion of laws that would force public schools to display the 10 Commandments in classrooms. Congressman Jared Huffman will drop by to talk about his new book “No Prophets: The Fight to Save Democracy from Christian Nationalism. The book is being released today.

    Ossoff Exposes Trump's Secret Relationship, Hegseth In Way Over His Head, More Blanche Lies 8/17/26

    Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff called out Trump’s relationship with his much younger aide Natalie Harp.  We'll roll the video.  With a spotlight on Trump’s Iran War,  it is glaringly clear that there are critical vulnerabilities in his approach to military and defense strategies. Trump talks big, relying heavily on rhetoric and posturing, but defense analysts have identified significant gaps between public statements and strategic execution.  In addition to the declining condition of the military under Trump’s Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth,  Trump’s military actions, including strikes on infrastructure, have often lacked long-term planning, leaving blind spots for after effects like disruptions to shipping lanes or unintended regional escalation. His reliance on precision munitions depleted critical inventory, compromising military readiness and leaving America more vulnerable.  Add to that the damage Trump has done to America’s alliances. He has weekend coordination and information sharing. and damaged relationships that may now be beyond repair. We will look at how these weaknesses shape the standing of U.S. defense and what they mean for global security. Guests today include the brilliant Sarah Kendzior. She is a best selling author and a scholar. Her research on  authoritarian states gives her a unique perspective on the current condition of America.  Kelly Dietrich served as a Democratic strategist and is the founder & CEO of the National Democratic Training Committee. He joins to discuss recent primaries and how Democrats should move forward.  The Mark Thompson Show  8/17/26 Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

    Hannity Flubs Segment, Dem Primary Reactions, Trump Smears Secret Service - feat. Jared Yates Sexton 8/12/26

    President Trump took a swipe at the Secret Service as he claimed a military plane that secretly flew him out of Turkey last month was “at greater risk” of being targeted, while also insisting it was the Secret Service that made the call. He told reporters he only followed what agents and the military wanted, saying they had arranged an “equal safety” change.  When pressed, Trump suggested the aircraft he was put on would be more likely to be the one attackers might go after. On the election front, the progressive candidate in the Wisconsin governor's race fell to the more mainstream Democratic candidate. The My Pillow guy Mike Lindell was too crazy for Minnesota voters. Despite being endorsed by Trump, Lindell was defeated in his attempt to govern Minnesota. We'll examine the election results.  Guests on the show today include  John Rothmann.  Our friend and former KGO host now hosts his own podcast "Around the Political World With John Rothmann" Author and political analyst Jared Yates Sexton will stop by to talk politics.   https://www.jysexton.com/books Substack - https://jaredyatessexton.substack.com/ Then, we save the planet with eco-journalist Belinda Waymouth.  She'll discuss jellyfish, hippos and exciting developments in battery storage with "It'is the Planet, Stupid!"

    Trump Hides From Iran, Former CIA Director Issues Warning to America (feat. David Cay Johnston)

    President Trump's latest executive order is aimed at overhauling the nation's childhood vaccination recommendations. He is directing federal agencies to cut the number of vaccines children receive and spread out their shots across more doctor ‘s appointments. Trump’s new "gold standard" recommendations consist of only 11 core vaccinations against the most serious diseases, along with the MMR vaccine, which the president hopes will eventually be administered as separate shots rather than as a combined vaccine. Doctors are already speaking out against these changes, saying it means fewer children will be fully vaccinated. The Washington Post is reporting that President Trump had to be smuggled out of Turkey in a catering truck and onto a smaller airplane in an attempt to thwart threats against him. We’ll discuss it all with Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston. The Trump administration‘s grifting, scandals and interesting pardon policies have us following the money. We get help in that regard from Dr. Bill Black. He is a law professor and the author of “The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One.” The Mark Thompson Show 8/11/26 Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!
