This is the Tom Hartman program.

And greetings by friends, patriots, lovers of democracy, truth and justice, believers and

peace, freedom and the American way Tom Harbin here with you.

Congressman Mark Poquan is with us in our progressive national town hall meeting.

Congressman Poquan, former vice chair, former coach chair of the Congressional Progressive

Caucus.

A member of the caucus represents the second district of Wisconsin and the US House

of Representatives is also on the Appropriations Education and Labor Committees.

And you can find him at poquan.house.gov or you can tweet him at rep, Mark Poquan.

Congressman, welcome back.

So what's on your mind?

Randy Winegarten from AFT did a great press conference talking about the bogus nature of

critical race theory.

Got my neighboring Republican congressman criticizing it saying how awful.

And I tweeted back, well, show me somewhere where it's happening first.

And then otherwise, can we talk about infrastructure and do something useful together?

You're right.

That's this month, right?

Before it was Biden's border problems and then it was another issue and another issue.

And they're going to keep throwing spaghetti at the wall.

We're good at doing that and we can either be misdirected by it all or keep moving ahead

on a real investing and real infrastructure, both physical and other.
