Summary
Trump and the Republicans are selling baseless fear to win the midterm election; that's all they really have! ------ Trump is activating the primitive, wordless, angry, fearful part of the brain to manipulate us all. Psychoanalyst Dr. Justin Frank returns, author of 'Trump on the Couch' with the science. ------ Thom welcomes back Congressman Mark Pocan to get his sense of the state of politics in the impending election. Callers respond with questions from LGBTQ issues to immigration reform, fears spread about the refugee caravan, and the importance of voter turn-out in this most important midterm election. ------ Joe in Long Beach says Democrats need to speak with passion and simply. ------ Ron in Portland suggests the media stop paying so much attention to Trump.
