Summary
Thom makes the case that the violence perpetrated by racists specifically naming Trump as their inspiration is a result of Trump's racial invective combined with the huge number of guns in civilian hands in our country. ~~~ Thom reads from his latest book 'The Hidden History of Guns and the Second Amendment'. ~~~ Thom dives deep into the possible consequences of hard British Brexit with reporter Victoria Jones. ~~~ Professor Richard Wolff considers whether a hard Brexit could also take down the US economy. ~~~ Dr. Justin Frank, author of 'Trump on the Couch' brilliantly connects Trump to the murders perpetrated in his name by racial extremists. ~~~ - And finally, former Republican Congressman and now reporter Bob Ney adds his insight as well to the events of the day.

| 0:56.8 | Yeah he called out white supremacy and said this is an evil thing but you know he read a teleprompter speech after Charlottesville |
| 1:05.6 | Virginia too you can't take anything this guy says seriously and wait a couple of |
| 1:12.1 | days and he'll be back to his white supremacist rhetoric |
| 1:14.6 | because it's what he thinks is going to get him reelected and if he doesn't get |
| 1:17.8 | reelected he's probably going to go to jail and so will his family and you know |
| 1:22.3 | this is a cornered rat right now. |
| 1:25.7 | So somebody wrote him a nice speech and he read it with his normal lack of |
| 1:30.2 | affect and here we are. But there's a whole bunch of pieces to this that I |
