This is the Tom Hartman program.

Greetings my friends, patriots, lovers of democracy, truth and justice,

believers in peace, freedom, and the American way way Tom Hartman here with you.

Well, is it a protest inside the White House?

Or is there something going on here that

you know we're all missing somehow it's

hurricane harvy

is

shattering battering slamming is shattering, slamming, Houston and environs in Texas right now.

And our best wishes and hopes and prayers and and thoughts are absolutely with all the people who are facing the

extraordinary power of nature

a power of nature tempered or exacerbated actually by global

warming by the very industry that is responsible for Houston's prosperity

the the fossil fuel industry

but in any case the the question in my mind is uh... why did the white house send out these two pictures

David Edwards has this piece over raw story this morning you can see it

uh... one photo is of Donald trump at Camp David in a sitting all alone or a big table.

The other picture is the situation room in the White House and Mike Pence is convening a strategy session with about a dozen people.

So the White House just sent out pictures this morning making a look like, you know,

Pence is running the show and Trump is all alone.

And did Kelly say, okay, Don, you've been a bad boy sitting that chair

Somehow I doubt it
