Why Elon Musk is a “5 Alarm Fire” to National Security, David Cay Johnston Joins 2/4/25


Listen Later

There is grave concern that Elon Musk has snatched control of the US Treasury and USAID away from elected officials. His access to the private information of millions of Americans along with intelligence reports is troublesome to say the least. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is one of many sounding the alarm saying, “Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security”.
We welcome Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author David Cay Johnston to the show to talk about the position in which America now finds itself.
Science and medicine have already taken a huge hit during Trump’s first month on the job. The CDC is now unable to release medical information that doctors around the country count on to help treat patients. Scientific Studies and data are being put on the back burner. Emergency medicine specialist, Dr. Michael Diagnault, will discuss. 
It’s Tech Tuesday on The Mark Thompson Show. Former USA Today tech columnist Jefferson Graham will look at some amazing new AI tools and discuss Apple’s foray into the darker side of the Internet.
