Summary
Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.... A leaked memo proves that Trump's people lied to congress when they claimed there was no intentional program to take kids from their refugee parents at the border. And Thom covers the bombshell evidence the FBI has discovered of impeachable criminal lies; Trump directly instructed persons- including Cohen and his family- to tell congress about Trump's Russia ties. And there is another impeachable high crime; federal prosecutors in New York have released specific evidence that Trump illegally paid money to hush up his former lovers using campaign dollars and for campaign purposes. ----- Why is the human mind so vulnerable to 'devious communication'? Psychologist Bryan Welch looks at the events that have created two separate realities- the world of Trump supporters and the world of his critics. Thom discusses his new book 'State of Confusion: Assault on the American Mind'. ----- Author of the book 'Confessions of a Rogue Nuclear Regulator'- Dr. Greg Jackzo- argues that nuclear power is not practical or sustainable. ----- Thom reads from Jackzo's book. Callers chime in. ----- Luke Vargas of Talk Media News has been keeping up with the trouble American negotiators are having in Syria and North Korea considering the random and unpredictable actions of our president, and especially given his constant lies. ----- Callers respond interestingly to issues raised during the show.
