Summary
The media, trying to be balanced when it comes to politics, has stopped talking about climate change because they don't want to seem political ~ Will Trump's attack on unions inspire a political revolution? Donald Trump's effective attack on unions and worker organizing, has got progressives furious and it could lead to a political revolution! Larry Cohen, of Our revolution and the former president of the Communications Workers of America, joins Thom to talk about the state of union organizing. ~ Are Donald Trump's appointed judges protecting him? A federal Judge has hidden Trump's taxes from the one person who has the right to view them and release them... and Donald Trump appointed this judge to the Federal Court. ~ Is Donald Trump's mental health a national security concern, should it be a concern for voters, for the president's supporters? Bandy X Lee, the Assistant Clinical Professor-Yale School of Medicine joins the Thom Hartmann program to discuss the dangerous case of Donald Trump running the country. ~ For the Book Club, Thom reads from "Threshold: The Progressive Plan to Pull America Back from the Brink" ~ Talk Media News correspondent Bob Ney reports on Mike Flynn, GOP intimidation of journalists, and Mitch McConnell's evasion of gun control legislation.
