From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Screwed:
"Once again, Thom Hartmann hits the bull’s eye with a much needed exposé of the so-called ‘free market.’ Anyone concerned about the future of our nation needs to read Screwed now."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
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.
