Summary

Why has Trump still not paid cities for police protection of his campaign rallies in 2016? What does Trump owe foreign nationals for helping his campaign? And Bernie Sanders joins Thom to discuss his latest push towards legally protecting American's economic freedoms and rights. ~~~ Thom on America's growing division as the Republican and Democratic majority states move in radically different directions. ~~~ Michael in California wants to know why the multi-million dollar corruption of McConnell and Trump's cabinet gets so little attention. ~~~ Professor Richard Wolff on the consequences of the extreme tax cuts the rich have received under Republican presidents- and who bears the tax burden now. ~~~ Pope Francis pushes oil executives to commit to fight climate change- Luke Vargas has the story. ~~~ Dean Obeidallah has won a judgement against US Nazi mag 'The Daily Stormer'- he joins Thom with the details. ~~~ Enacting one chapter of the fascist playbook, Trump is getting rough with refugees on the border- stuffing them into open cages unprotected from the elements, and preparing to ship them all to military facilities to evade public oversight.

private. This is paid for by the campaign. Of course we're paying for all the security of the secret service and all that kind of stuff.

events is supposed to be paid for by the campaign
