    Elon & Vivek Detail the Plan to Slash & Burn the Government, Plus Trump’s New AG Nom. 11/22/24

    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. Get ready to pick your favorite story of Friday Fabulous Florida. It’s a big weekend at the movies. Gladiator 2 and Wicked are on the big screens. We will find out if either are worth your time or money. The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, brings his critical eye.

    Heat on Gaetz Forces His Withdrawal, Plus Greg Palast Looks at Votes 11/21/24

    Pressure on Matt Gaetz proved to be too much. He is stepping away from the Attorney General nomination. During the run up to the election, Trump did his best to distance himself from Project 2025. It’s a blueprint for implementing some draconian Christian nationalist policies that appear to be wildly unconstitutional. Trump said he had no idea who was behind the plan. Now, he is embracing its creators. So far, the following men have been tapped to serve in the Trump administration and also are neck deep in Project 2025: *Russ Vought, an architect of Project 2025 who supports aggressive use of presidential powers is reportedly being considered to lead the White House Budget Office K *Tom Homan, tapped to be the “border czar” *John Ratcliffe, who may be the next CIA director *Brendan Carr, heading the FCC *Pete Hoekstra, Trump’s ambassador to Canada *Stephen Miller, led America First Legal, which advised on Project 2025, will be an assistant to the president, deputy chief of staff for policy and Homeland Security advisor. Some in Trump’s circle, like Steve Bannon, have admitted that Project 2025 was the plan all along. We welcome our favorite Britisher to the show. Journalist Anthony Davis will talk politics. Investigative journalist Greg Palast will share some new details on efforts to count every ballot. Former federal prosecutor David Katz will discuss Trump’ pending state cases out of New York and Georgia being put on hold.

    Salacious Gaetz Details Emerge But Trump Stands By His Man, David Cay Johnston 11/19/24

    Ethics investigation report or not, details of Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, are oozing out. New details make him even less of a desirable choice to lead the DOJ, but Trump isn’t backing down. Meanwhile, there are calls for President Biden to start background checks on Trump nominees before he leaves office, since Trump doesn't intend to have them done. That would leave senators without many details for upcoming confirmation hearings. We’ll start the discussion with Richard Greene, the Civics Dean.  Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston will join us to talk politics.  Tech Tuesday brings Jefferson Graham to the show to talk Google, the FCC and Black Friday.

    Trump Confirms: National Emergency Declaration & Military Used for Deportations 11/18/24

    Trump’s mass deportation plan? Declare a national emergency and use the military to round people up.  Is Elon Musk creating a coalition of liars? After losing his fortune for telling horrible lies about the massacre at Sandy Hook, Alex Jones was on the verge of seeing his Infowars podcast purchased by satire site The Onion. Just as The Onion was declared the successful bidder, Elon Musk and his lawyers for X filed a notice of appearance in Jones’ bankruptcy case. It seems Musk and company didn’t think the auction was transparent enough and they found a judge who agreed. We’ll also talk about the latest Trump cabinet picks, including the CEO of a fracking company for Energy Secretary. Plus, new revelations that Trump’s choice for Defense Secretary paid off a woman who accused him of assault and made her sign a confidentiality agreement.  We welcome Cenk Uygur from TYT to discuss.  Gary Dietrich, CBS television and iHeart Radio Political Analyst will stop by to talk politics.

    Trump Takes a Wrecking Ball to Medicine, Diet & Gov’t With Appointment of RFK Jr. 11/15/24

    Science just went straight out the window with the appointment of RFK Jr. to run Health and Human Services. Despite his controversial ideas about vaccines and medical science, Trump said: “HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming health crisis in this country." We welcome journalist Michael Shure to talk about this appointment and the aftermath of the Trump victory. We are checking in on our favorite red state with Friday Fabulous Florida. Be prepared to rate the mugshots and pick your favorite story. Time to escape from politics with a really good movie and perhaps a glass of red wine. The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, can help you with the movie part. He slides into the show bringing pop, culture, movie reviews, and more.

Mark discusses the perverse Trump method behind the bent madness of his cabinet picks. What happens to Trump’s pending sentencing for felonies in New York State now that he is White House bound?
