Summary
Massive nationwide protests are planned for Thursday over the refusal of Bill Barr to meet Congress' deadline to turn over the complete Mueller report. Thom asks one of the organizers, Zac Petkanas. You can join the many groups coming together in your area by visiting TrumpIsNotAboveTheLaw.org to find protests near you. - Thom reads from Ralph Nader's book 'Breaking Through Power- It's Easier Than You Think.' - The most insightful callers from the live episode give dimension to Thom's case that the Republicans and other elite-funded con-artists are working to ultimately make richer the already very rich at the expense of the rest of us, requiring us to find ways to fight for economic justice. - Thom reads the chapter 'Reagan Kidnapped the Jetsons' from his book 'The Crash of 2016.' - Canada has introduced a carbon tax, and hardly anyone in the United States has noticed- except for Luke Vargas, Chief Foreign Correspondent of Talk Media News. So what is up with Canada? - Richard in Michigan checks TrumpIsNotAboveTheLaw.org for a local protest, and Karen in Virginia asks Thom how Democrats can communicate their message so that they're heard.
