Conversations w/Great Minds P2 - Tom Hayden - What We’ve Learned From Vietnam

Tom Hayden, Listen Yankee!: Why Cuba Matters/Peace & Justice Resource Center, joins Thom. We’re coming up on the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. Do you think we’ve learned the lessons from that awful conflict? As a founding member of the Students for Democratic Society - Tom played a pivotal role in the anti-war movement of the 1960s and was the author of the famous Port Huron statement that catalyzed a generation of activists. He also served in the California legislature for almost two decades - and is currently the Director of the Peace and Justice Resource Center.

The Good, The Bad and the Very, Very Unasinously Ugly!

The Bad! Mike Huckabee! In an address to the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Committee the former Arkansas Governor made the remarkable claim that the Supreme Court cannot overturn God. And yet - when it comes to trashing the environment for material gain or encouraging gay people to go to therapy - conservative Christians certainly feel entitled to change what God created.

We The People Amendment is Being Introduced In Congress Today!

David Cobb, Move to Amend joins Thom. A clear majority of Americans favor progressive policies that would help put our economy and the working class back on track. But - as long as corporations control Washington - those policies won't see the light of day. What are lawmakers doing now to restore power to We The People? If this amendment passes - how far will it go towards fixing our broken democracy?

Rumble: The Baltimore Catch-22

Bryan Pruitt, RedState & Christy Setzer, New Heights Communications & Gianno Caldwell, Caldwell Strategic Consulting/Project 21 join Thom. Frequently in response to violence like we saw Monday in Baltimore - commentators will look down their nose and criticize those involved for not knowing how to politely and peacefully demonstrate - and they frequently uphold Martin Luther King Jr as the prime example. On the other hand - the media only seems to pay attention when windows are broken and property is burned. Is this a catch-22? Or do the ends justify the means in terms of calling attention to honest grievances within these communities?

Hughey Newsome, Project 21 & Ben Cohen, The Daily Banter & Jennifer Kerns, Washington Times / The Blaze joins Thom Hartmann. The Supreme Court heard oral testimony today on whether states or the federal government should determine what constitutes a marriage. What came out of those arguments and what's at stake in the case?

Politics Panel - Will More Cops Mean Less Violence?

Hughey Newsome, Project 21 & Ben Cohen, The Daily Banter & Jennifer Kerns, Washington Times / The Blaze joins Thom Hartmann. Will bringing more police from around the region and the national guard in quell the outrage? Or will it simply suppress the violence that we saw yesterday?

Why Baltimore is Burning

Last night's unrest in Baltimore isn't an example of why we need to seriously rethink our policing practices. It's also an example of why we need to rethink our obsession with so-called free trade.

Are Police the “Outside Agitators” in Baltimore?

Dr. Clarence Lusane, American University / The Black History of the White House joins Thom. 70% of Baltimore cops don't live in Baltimore; 10% live outside the state! How do we change this? Aren't they the real "outside agitators"?

What It Means To Be Transgender

Joe Wenke, The Human Agenda: Conversations about Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity join Thom. For all intents and purposes - I am a woman. That is what former Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner told Diane Sawyer Friday in a groundbreaking interview in which he finally came public about being a transgender American. Jenner's interview dominated the ratings Friday night and gave ABC's 20/20 its largest audience in more than a decade. But more importantly - for transgender Americans - it may have been a turning in the long march towards acceptance.
