Mark Larson Podcast

Mark listens to the impromptu press conference from President Trump prior to leaving for El Centro and then on to Calexico to discuss the border crisis as well as the border wall.

Also, when did MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell become a legitimate and certified doctor of medicine or psychology?

Also, cable journalists are screaming there's no crisis at the border, and yet network journalists prove quite the contrary. Then, the doctors on "The View" claim President Obama had a scandal-free administration.

Also, Rolf Benirschke, former Chargers kicker, has helped an incredible program gain legs in the San Diego community called Computers 2 Kids, and he shares his passion and vision with Mark on the program.

Mark goes into some sound from Adam Schiff this morning on Capitol Hill as he continues to prove that we shouldn't be relieved that the Mueller report is the be-all-and-end-all of investigations into President Trump. Also, California State Senator Brian Jones provides an update on some bills that are on the floor, and passing (to his surprise) in Sacramento, as well as to his amazement and surprise that Governor Gavin Newsom wants to spend more money on the high-speed rail project.

Mark takes a look at the news of the day while promoting the fact that he'll be at Opening Day for the Padres at Petco Park. He's so excited that he can barely contain himself. Also, James Hirsen (NewsMax.com) chimes in on the mainstream media continuing to promote Adam Schiff as the lone authority that we still need to investigate President Trump on collusion with Russia.

We check in with best-selling author of "American Sniper" and "Camp Valor," Scott McEwen, on the continuing discussion of whether President Trump colluded or not with Russians as a result of Robert Mueller's investigation, and what this means for those who knowingly engaged in fraudulent and illegal acts.

All this and much more with Mark along with Tom Del Becarro (PoliticalVanguard.com) and they dissect it every which way possible.

The Mueller report brings up a lot of questions, but the more important perspective to have is why the media shouldn't be so stuck-up and adamant that they know more than Mueller and his team after conducting this investigation.

Well, the Mueller report has been submitted to the Attorney General's office and President Trump, while not being exonerated, has been cleared of any collusion in the Russia tampering investigation. Former Attorney General (under President Reagan) Ed Meese, and Washington Times national security reporter Rowan Scarborough scour through what we know as fact and what it means for the mainstream media, as well as the administration in the short term.
