Summary

Thom reviews Trump's disregard of veterans both on his recent trip to the French Armistice observation and upon his return to the US. Trump protected his hair instead of laying a wreath on the grave of the unknown soldier, sent the troops to whip up immigrant fears, and disregarded military mail-in ballots in his rush to see the elections settled. ------ Climate change contributed to California's historic fires, but Trump's blames the victims for not cutting enough lumber, and threatens to withhold federal funding to California. ----- Igor Volsky of Guns Down, America says we need to financially drain the NRA, and organize Americans to reduce gun violence. ----- Thom reads from 'Fierce Enigmas, A history of the Unites States in South Asia' by Srinath Raghavan.  ----- Wendell Potter on TarBell.org is taking corruption in the big health insurance companies, and he knows where the bodies are buried. ----- The latest word on the news with Talk Media News' Ellen Rattner.  ----- Thom on the bad behavior of the jetstream, German public education and why our schools suck. ----- Bob in Oklahoma says 'Anything Trump can do, we can do Beto'.....
