Summary
Rumor has it that Joe Biden will announce a presidential run with Stacey Abrams as his VP. Will this set a precedent to introduce running mates from the start? Callers respond.- Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of Code Pink, activists and author, joins Thom Hartmann live from inside Venezuela's embassy, explaining why Code Pink and other activists mobilized to keep out far-right extremists backed by the self-proclaimed President of Venezuela Juan Guaido. The coup against Venezuela's democratically elected President, Nicolás Maduro, is facing its latest set back as Code Pink activists occupy the Venezuelan embassy to keep the illegitimate far-right government from entering the building. The latest attempt at this coup comes as crippling sanctions are starving the Venezuelan population of food. And even denying the people of Venezuela access to their own money and resources. - Bob Ney on the president's latest directive requiring universities to allow conservatives on campus- plus- Jared Kushner's old buddy Netanyahu is coming to town! How will this change our foreign policy? - Paul in Woodenville Washington has some deep thoughts about the American happiness index. - Thom explains the news- the latest on Wisconsin's governor.. and are Boeing and Monsanto's profit more important than the health and welfare of the individual? Is this why we're falling down the list of the happiest countries? Plus - what's up with the bomb cyclone? And Nikki Haley's great wisdom.
