I live in PA and just heard you mention 50,000 democrats have registed with the GOP to support Trump, YIKES!
First time commenting over the internet... Your conversation with that guy representing the Gun Owners: Holy Cow are we in trouble. I live in a rural area, near state land and gun club properties. Over the last decade, the shooting noise has evolved from the old school target practice that you had mentioned to the rapid firing of those big guns. If this guy represents the mentality of what's going on out there, I can't believe it and am lost for words.
You are so right, what in the world are they afraid of???
I'm a big fan of Bernie and always have been as I've planned to move to Vermont after retirement, although am now reconsidering packing up and heading North as soon as possible!
Been Follwing you since the first publishing of your "Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" have no TV but listen to your show every day. Sending you a big Thanks for being out there!

From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
Thom,
You just said something about if Hillary wins something else,
"there would be rioting in the streets". Really are yoy taking a
page out of Trumps books, you bash Hillary enough and I still
listen to you, but that kind of infamatory retoric is unessecery
and beneath you.
