Welcome everyone to another regularly scheduled rerun.

Right now members are enjoying what I fear might be one of our best episodes.

And you know, and I mean doing a great shows fine, but this might be the best we're ever going to do.

So it's all going to be downhill from here.

Amanda and I give not only our answer to the meaning of life, if you can believe it, but we also lay out some details on how to find meaning and

contentment, but then discuss how some of the technological marvels of the present and near future may actually be standing in the way of us finding that contentment.

So pretty good and I think important episode.

Now today's rerun is another look back at the early days of the Trump administration.

Our last rerun was taking a look at how to avoid fascism.

And today's episode takes a look at the flip side of that coin, the early days of the resistance.

So have a listen to this call to action for the resistance.

It's not that people think that our ideas are wrong.

It's that they think our ideas are impossible.

Now, welcome to the award winning best of left podcast with clips today from start making sense from the nation magazine off kilter, the zero hour, the labored, the Laura Flanders show, the young Turks, and we the podcast with representative Keith Allison.

The biggest surprise of the season is not that Donald Trump is so crazed, but that so many people have joined grassroots resistance groups.

First, there were those women's marches all over the place the day after the inauguration, something like 5 million people marched that day in hundreds of cities and towns, nothing like that had ever happened before.

And more recently members of congress have faced thousands of angry constituents at dozens of town hall meetings so much is going on and so many groups are forming that it's hard to keep track.

Later in this show will focus on what seems to be the biggest of the new resistance groups, the one called indivisible.
