When asked on Fox about the possibility of a recession, Trump said he hates to predict things like that, but would not rule out a 2025 recession. His was a message of it may get worse before it gets better. He said: “There is a period of transition, because what we’re doing is very big. We’re bringing wealth back to America. That’s a big thing.” Meanwhile, the back and forth over firing federal workers and cutting federal programs continues. We welcome Alex Lawson to the show. If you’re worried about the future of Social Security and Medicare, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Alex leads a coalition of more than 340 organizations that support Social Security and Medicare and brings a knowledable perspective. We will talk politics with CBS iHeart Television & Radio Political Analyst Gary Dietrich. Gil Duran will stop by the show. He’s a former opinion editor for the Sacramento and the San Francisco Examiner. He also worked with both Governor Jerry Brown and the late Senator Diane Feinstein.

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. Then, the Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder, will slide in to talk movies, streaming options and more! The Mark Thompson Show 3/7/25 Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Elon Musk, who clearly holds sway over the president, wants the US government privatize as much as possible. That includes the US Postal Service, Amtrak and more. Musk made the comments at a Morgan Stanley tech conference. It’s not clear who would take over services currently managed by the government, but It could be a money making opportunity for the wealthy tech bros. We welcome Patrick Lovell to the show. After suffering personal losses in the 2008 Financial Crisis, Lovell created a TV Series called The Con and continues to fight for truth and justice. A mixture of court rulings are coming back. One yesterday from the Supreme Court went against Trump‘s bid to freeze USAID money. We’ll check in with former federal prosecutor and now defense attorney David Katz for help untangling the latest decisions.

People who rely on Social Security checks may be feeling a little iffy about President Trump’s intentions. Trump spoke to a joint session of Congress last night and once again, raised the issue of possible fraud within the Social Security system. He’s convinced dead people are getting checks The Social Security administration addressed the matter recently saying the numbers are part of a known problem with the government’s data with millions of people over age 100 in the Social Security Administration’s database, but the vast majority aren’t receiving benefits. Why Trump keeps raising the issue when it’s been explained is unclear, but both Trump and Elon Musk have been exaggerating figures and misrepresenting Social Security data as part of the Doge cost cutting agenda We will check in with presidential historian John Rothmann for his perspective on Trump’s address. The measles outbreak continues to spread. We will check in with emergency medicine specialist Dr. Michael Daignault. If you have questions for him, we will try to get at least a few on.

Today, Trump‘s high tariffs against Canada and Mexico will kick in. Trump insists they will help Americans but experts like billionaire investor Warren Buffett say tariffs are an “act of war to some degree.” CBS News asked Buffet whether tariffs will impact inflation and he said: "Over time, they are a tax on goods. I mean, the Tooth Fairy doesn't pay 'em! And then what? You always have to ask that question in economics. You always say, 'And then what?'" Meanwhile, America has a new crypto reserve and crypto markets are thriving under Trump. We’ll talk to journalist Michael Hiltzik from the LA Times about what putting faith in crypto could mean for the economy. Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston will join us to talk politics.

The world is reacting following the Oval Office disaster last week at which Trump and Vance called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ungrateful and gave him a dressing down. French President Emmanuel Macron is now urging European nations to increase defense spending. The move is a direct response to America's new pivot toward Russia. In addition, Elon Musk, who seems to have Trump's ear, is calling for the United States to check out of NATO. That notion also has European nations looking to increase their own national defense readiness. We welcome Gary Dietrich, CBS iHeart Television & Radio Political Analyst, to the show to talk politics. Then, Yale Professor Timothy Snyder will join us. He is an historian specializing in Central and Eastern European history, the Soviet Union, and the Holocaust. Law & Disorder brings word that Trump is taking the documents the FBI seized back to Mar-a-Lago. The Mark Thompson Show 3/1/25 Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

What exactly happened in the last presidential election? Does it make sense that Trump won? Why is it not okay to entertain the notion that something may have been done improperly? We welcome Nathan Taylor. He is the co-founder of the Election Truth Alliance. Their mission is to investigate and litigate potential election manipulation, interference, and irregularities in election results. With the worst flu season in recent memory underway and a death from measles in the serious outbreak in Texas, RFK Jr. is canceling vaccine talks. It’s the second federal vaccine panel meeting that has been nixed since RFK Jr. became the Health and Human Services Secretary.

For $5 million dollars, you too can have all the benefits of an American citizen. Trump’s latest money grab comes in the form of a US gold card. It beats a green card with a waiting list. Wealthy immigrants will be able to pay their way in to the U.S. in the hopes they’ll invest while they are here. Elon Musk is losing his mind over judges backing the U.S. Constitution. It seems he doesn’t like to be told no and is calling for the impeachment of judges who go against him. Musk was reacting poorly to court orders blocking the government’s attempts to stop funding for foreign aid, federal grants and keeping refugees from coming into America. Presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann will be in to talk about it all. Eco-journalist Belinda Waymouth shares delightful video of endangered baby turtles being released into the wild and shares new developments at UC San Francisco to hold corporate polluters accountable.…

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.

Hours after holding an interview alongside Elon Musk where he said he would not touch Medicaid, Trump threw support behind a House GOP budget plan that will likely lead to billions in cuts to Medicaid.
