The Hartmann Report7 Nov 2018

Thom Hartmann Program - 1 Hour Edition - 11/07/2018 - What Progressives have learned from this election, as votes in Texas, Georgia, and Florida came within a voter suppression whisper of winning what were thought of as safe Republican positions. As Dems erect a barricade to fascism in the House of Reps, Thom looks at all the results around the country, walks his blues away, says goodbye to Scott Walker, and looks ahead. Many interesting facts revealed.

Thom gives his thoughts post-election, including the success of the Democrats winning back the House of Representatives. German politicians are puzzled why the American vote count does not reflect the results. Given the possibility of voter suppression, Thom argues that Beto O'Rourke and Andrew Gillum conceded too soon. ------- As many feel a bit beleaguered, Thom reads from his book 'Walking Your Blues Away- How to Heal the Mind and Create Emotional Well-Being'. ------- Thom fields informative and thoughtful listener calls. ------- Thom reads from 'Birthright Citizen- A history of Race and Rights in Antebellum America' by Martha S. Jones. ------- Thom cheers on the departure of Scott Walker before taking listener calls and considering what comes next in Congress. ------- Shawn checks in with Ellen Rattner of Talk Media News with a deep look behind the post-election headlines.
