Summary
Thom puts his head together with fellow Progressive talk show host Dean Obeidallah- when will be the moment of maximum danger if Trump is not re-elected? Are there lessons in the history of the middle east for dealing with presidents who don't want to give up power?
Plus... Is Trump a strongman or the messiah? Did using military force for his church photo-op violate the establishment clause? And what is the real point of civil disobedience?
Also Kymone Freeman, Artist/Activist Co-Founder We ACT Radio on how 16th Street has been re-labeled by the mayor of DC as Black Lives Matter road in front of the White House barricade.
Thom reads from Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom by David W. Blight, and Guns Down: How to Defeat the NRA and Build a Safer Future with Fewer Guns by Igor Volsky.
