The Hartmann Report20 Joulu 2018

Thom Hartmann Program - 1 Hour Edition - 12/20/18 - As history continues today, Progressives think deeply about how to turn its arc towards justice- today featuring congresswoman and presidential hopeful Maryann Williamson, legal scholar Lisa Graves, Congressman Merkley, and John in Ohio.

Congresswoman and deep thinker Maryann Williamson is with Thom on her possible run for the president. Her view is that we need to have a much wider discussion than just hating on Trump - we need to fight the re-establishment of an economic aristocracy that constantly works against true democracy. And Madison in Portland chimes in. ------- Lisa Graves, author and legal scholar, makes the case that the Senate Judiciary Committee has a legal obligation to recall Brett Kavanaugh for lying to the Senate- and what you can do to help. ------- TRIGGER WARNING - Anybody who has lost a loved one to the global war on Christmas should not listen to this segment. ------- Talk Media News joins us once again, in the person of Bob Ney. Immigration and our sudden withdrawal from Syria are the subject matter. ------- Thom reads from 'It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration is Doing to America' by David J. Kosten. ------- Jeff Merkley, Senator from Oregon, champions the cause of immigrant children still held in prison camps near the Texas-Mexico border. ------- Keeping up to date with the Conways and Trumpses. ------- John in Ohio says things are going ok. ------- Finally, Thom looks at two more important stories in the news today.
