Summary


Arch-Progressive Bernie Sanders is here to announce his run for president in 2020! Thom and he talk strategy and break down the socialist platform for improving America that Bernie proved are popular with millions of moderates- ideas that were previously deemed untouchable by corporate-friendly Democrats. ---------- In the context of Bernie's proposals Thom passionately revisits FDR's fight for the four freedoms- a Progressive view that argues that having a chance to live a worthwhile life rather than being exploited to by the rich is the full definition of freedom. ---------- Thom is excited by Bernie's run, and the way that Bernie has been able to shift the political conversation to give the interests of the common person a chance, a shift away from the hateful manipulative line of crap the big-money conservative propagandists are always pushing. ---------- Thom interviews Karen Hobart Flynn of Common Cause, who are working to support those challenging the illegality of Trump's fake emergency. Callers chime in. ---------- Luke Vargas, Chief Foreign Correspondent of Talk Media News is watching closely the propaganda mission American operatives are stirring up on the border of Venezuela. ---------- Thom's callers celebrate Bernie's new run for president.
