Summary
Today, veteran radio host Shawn Taylor fills in for Thom, leading a thoughtful town hall with callers on a variety of questions-- Could 'We The People' sue Congress for not doing their job?.. Is Putin ultimately pulling the strings of all the oligarchs?.. Why don't the Democrats filibuster the impeachment over calling witnesses?.. And what kind of public official asks for foreign governments to help get them re-elected?.. What can we be doing to make Trump's re-election less likely?.. If FDR and Lincoln didn't cancel the elections why should Trump?.. And how much would you give up to stand against an oppressive regime?..
Plus, Thom reads from "Unmaking the Presidency: Donald Trump's War on the World's Most Powerful Office" by Susan Hennessey and Benjamin Wittes, and "Under the Influence: Putting Peer Pressure to Work" by Robert H. Frank.

| 0:15.0 | I'm Sean Taylor, I'm Tom's producer and I'll be taking your calls for the next hour. |
| 0:22.0 | So anything that's on your mind |

| 0:32.2 | Nashville, Tennessee and says here |
| 0:34.4 | Michael that you want to know if we can file a lawsuit on behalf of the |
| 0:38.8 | voting public. Yeah, with everything we're coming out in the news, especially people keep hearing and I keep hearing personally that 75% of the voting public want to hear from witnesses and hear testimony in evidence. |
| 0:51.0 | And yet our Republican representatives are basically voting against that. |
| 0:56.0 | Essentially refusing to do the will of the people, which is what their taxpayer dollars are paying their jobs to do is there a way that they could be |
| 1:05.8 | sued on behalf of the people essentially to return a taxpayer's money to |
| 1:12.1 | them for services not rendered? |
| 1:15.0 | That's a great question. |
| 1:16.3 | It's above me because I'm not a lawyer, |
| 1:18.0 | but maybe we can get a lawyer to call in and answer that. |
| 1:20.4 | Or, you know, a good place to call to find out about that would be maybe the |
| 1:25.0 | a clapel you or common cause who work on behalf of the public they might be able |
| 1:30.6 | to answer that one boy I like the idea though, and Lisa Murkowski basically put the nail in the coffin |
| 1:36.6 | when she announced that she would be voting no as well. |
| 1:40.0 | So... |
| 1:41.0 | Oh, I hadn't heard that. |
