Summary

Will voter suppression ensure we continue down the road to Trump-style plutocracy and fascism? Georgia's Brian Kemp rears his counting-challenged head as he unethically supervises throwing out voters in his own election. ///// Triumph the Insult Comic Dog dings Cruz. ///// Thom wonders if the bottom may be quietly falling out of the economic system as treasuries just had the 2nd worst auction since the Great Recession. ///// Caller Glen gets Thom thinking about what kind of deadlock we might be looking at if Democrats hold the House and Republicans hold the Senate. ///// Thom wonders if House/Senate deadlock might look more like congress of the late 1940s, or Congress in the mid 1990s? ///// Civil and Human Rights activist and broadcaster Joe Madison is very concerned about the state of the election. He wants all Democrats to vote this time, and stick together, unlike what we did in the last election. ///// Talk Media News Luke Vargas updates us on all the "Inter-mestic" issues on election day. ///// Terry McAuliffe, former governor of Virginia, and former chair of the DNC reminds Thom of democratic party initiatives to monitor voter suppression and get people to vote. ///// Callers Barry responds. ///// And in other news - Rick Perry let it slip the Trump administration will send nuclear waste to Nevada. And 80 percent of critical American drugs are made in China- so when some of them turn out to be contaminated, we have few other options. And what if there is a conflict with China? ///// The vice-chair of the Democratic National Committee, Michael Blake crosses his fingers and puts a bow on the years-long Democratic push against Trump's looming fascism, and for the positive progressive Democratic party platform in this midterm vote ///// Big fan Dayona asks about a confusing mailout she received that may have been meant to make her think she voted when she did not.
