From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
Today's show opened with asking who is Dr. Oz? Oddly enough, he is very skilled thoracic surgeon who use to be at Columbia Presbyterian. Not sure if he still practices there. What caught my attention about him back in late 90's is, he would bring energy/Reiki practitioners into the operating room during surgery to support the patient. (I study and use alternative & energy medicine) I felt like he was an important bridge to bringing energy medicine into the mainstream.
He made his way onto TV thru Oprah, as a recurring guest, talking about alternative medicine. I thought this was fabulous and had a ton of respect for him. Unfortunately, once he got his own TV show, the quality of his material began to slip and I stopped watching him. In my opinion, he sold out.
So it made perfect insanity sense to me when it was annouced that he would be the person to reveal Trump's medical records. The TV Dr. and the Reality Star, of course! The only other person I can image revealing Trump's medical records is Groucho Marx dressed in a white coat with a mirror headband and a cigar. "Cholesterol panel says 36, 24, 36, wink wink "
Love your show, I always learn a lot. All the best to you and your staff.
