This is the Tom Hartman program.

Wow.

Did you catch that speech last night?

The Joe Biden gave?

For that matter, did you catch Tim Scott's speech?

We'll talk about both of them.

Professor Richard Wolff will be with us and we're going to ask him about the impact of

Biden's by American plan.

I'll give you some background on that.

It's actually fascinating and it's a piece of the Reagan administration's history that

most people are just like unaware of.

But first I want to talk about last night's speech and of course get your thoughts on

it too.

But number one, and I'll say this very quickly because I'm going to come back to it in great

detail afterwards.

This in my opinion, I tweeted this last night, I said this is the best presidential speech

I've seen since Jack Kennedy's inaugural address in 1961 on January 20, 1961.

It was, we have not had a democratic president, Jimmy Carter came close to it when he talked

about energy, but of course they just ripped him apart.

But we have not had a president talk like this.

Everybody since Lyndon Johnson and Medicare or Jack Kennedy proposing a national healthcare

system saying, you know, other countries do this, why can't we?
