The Hartmann Report21 Dec 2018

Thom Hartmann Program - 1 Hour Edition - 12/21/18 - Geopolitics is in a tizzy as an economic crisis looms, while Trump plays his border-wall fiddle to distract attention from his plan to abandon our Syrian allies over the objections of, well, almost everyone besides Turkey's dictator, Russia, and Iran.

Dr Richard Wolff and Thom think the crash made inevitable by the Great Recession bailout may be upon us. Evidence is given. -------- Turkey's dictator says he will delay his planned slaughter of the Kurds. What does this mean for the region? And as Trump is willing to partially shut down the government, supposedly for his border wall dream- Thom thinks this is all distraction from the way Trump's family will profit from sacrificing the Kurds to Turkey. Thom gives a clarifying short synopsis of the Syrian conflict in response to caller Matt's inquiry. Thom engages callers on how this all relates to geopolitics, the price of oil, the Saudis, and central American immigrants. ---------------- Former Department of Homeland Security Analyst and owner of DT Analytics, Daryl Johnson has studied right-wing terrorism, and he's here to warn us that the federal government is not monitoring them at all. He argues the primary yet unacknowledged terrorist threat to Americans comes from white, right wing extremists. ----------- Thom reads from Edward Nell's book 'Poverty and Progress in Economics'. -------------- After a call from Turkey, Trump fought his own staff to pull out of Syria- what really went down? Luke Vargas, the chief Foreign Correspondent for Talk Media News, has the real story.
