Summary
Despite cable media's piling-on of criticism of Elizabeth Warren's ancestry test, it turns out that no Native American elected leaders were asked in the national coverage.

Thom continues the conversation on gender and race with his brilliant callers. ---------- Marxist economist Dr. Richard Wolff gives an update on economic news and Thom takes listeners' phone questions. --------- Luke Vargas reports on Talk Media News has the skinny of Chinese tariff negotiations and how the Saudis are handling the Khashoggi killers.
