PHILOSOPHY OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT Jun 25, 2020

Show notes

Thom revisits the social movement that led to The Enlightenment and eventually culminated in the American Revolution and formation of The Constitution. Why conservatives perpetuate a world view of punishment and policing while progressives promote the idea of basic human good.

A pro-segregation caller sparks a conversation on why the vestiges of the civil war linger and Trump's refueling of racism has brought on the current outcry for reform.

For the Book Club Thom reads from Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America by Martha S. Jones, and Original Wisdom: Stories of an Ancient Way of Knowing by Robert Wolff.

IMPEACH BARR TO SAVE THE REPUBLIC Jun 24, 2020

Show notes

Lawyer and author Jimmy Lohman joins Thom to discuss the damage Bill Barr is doing to the institutions that sustain our democratic way of life- and the story of how Bill Barr bullied him when they were children, and how that relates to Barr's behavior today.

Why did Barr and Trump really have to decapitate the prosecutor's office of the Southern District of New York? What is the connection between Audrey Strauss and Bill Barr's coverup of the Iran-Contra scandal? And as Bill Barr has bragged about personally beating up protesters, how will men like him and Trump who are fans of state power respond if they lose the election?

LAWLESS WILLIAM BARR Jun 23, 2020

Show notes

Bill Barr's heavily redacted Mueller Report is starting to come to light through the efforts of trial judges. Though few outlets are reporting on the outrageous findings, it turns out that Trump was in fact involved in Russia's manipulation of the 2016 election and Roger Stone acted as the conduit.

WHITHER THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE? Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

Thom welcomes conservative professor and author Robert M. Hardaway to debate the question of the electoral college. Would a national popular vote undermine democracy?

George W. Bush and Donald Trump both lost the popular vote, by a half-million and 3 million votes respectively, yet occupied the White House even though a majority of Americans didn’t want them there.

If we don’t get money out of our politics and enforce the laws against foreign meddling in our elections, we may well see the end of the American experiment in democracy. The stakes have never been higher.

And - can you spot the four types of Trump supporters? (Or are there more?) Will Trump's supporters stick with him no matter what?

Did the Supreme Court really spare DACA or just punt on a technicality?.. The core of Thom's new book on ADD... The Mooseherder wants to know how to get in touch with the Democrats... How to (try to) wake up Trump supporters... And, the dumbness of Trump's vote by mail application.

CORPORATE PERSONHOOD IS A LIE Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

California's PG&E just plead guilty to killing more than 80 Americans- how is that corporations can be a person when it comes to free speech, but not a person when it comes to legal liability?
