Davis Hammet, activist and Founder of Loud Light joins the Thom Hartmann Program to help us find out how the morbidly rich are getting away with Election Theft. Kris Kobach stole Kansas's election, Donald Trump stole the election of 2016, is there a way to stop the voter purges and red shifts before the planet and humanity at stuck in a libertarian hellscape?

Christopher Massicotte, Chair of Victory Fund campaign board and a partner at DSPolitical, joins the Thom Hartmann program to discuss the more than 400 openly LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) politicians running to fight the rise in anti LGBT resignation and the Trump regime's continued attack on the queer community.

On the anniversary of the September 11th attacks, a caller reminds us that the tragedy is not just in what was lost that day but also in what was been, since that day thanks in part to the reaction by the George W. Bush administration added to the tragedy. The lives both foreign as well as in our military lost in the invasion of Iraq and in the War in Iraq that followed. Tragedy begets tragedy and in remorseful and tearful words a caller tells of of his brother who would still be alive today if it were not for the war mongering reaction by oil hungry oligarchs to the loss of American lives that led us straight into operation Iraqi Freedom.

Dr. Crystal Fleming has some ideas on how we can be less stupid on race, namely to stop thinking about them as simply individual acts but as part of larger systems of power. Dr. Fleming and Thom Hartmann bring up the recent Serena Williams scandal to document how discussing issues as acts of individual prejudice instead of as acts of power limit our understanding and ability to fight racism.

Working as Secretary of State Kansas's Kris Kobach was able to use his position to make sure that the people eligible to vote were voting for him, so far there is no word from his defeated Republican opponent on how the republican strategy of limiting the voter pool feels when it was used against his own party by other people in his party. Greg Palast joins the program to discuss this, his lawsuit of Kobach and whether or not the supreme court will be a place to take lawsuits in the future should Brett Kavanaugh be elevated to the highest court in the country!

Brett Kavanaugh has lied to the senate during his hearing a week prior to the publication of this video, by stating he has no knowledge of memos from his time during the Bush administration, here to correct Kavanaugh and call for his impeachment is Lisa Graves the author of the very memos Brett Kavanaugh lied about to the Senate, Should Brett be impeached rather than elevated for lying to the senate?

A member of the resistance to Trump, (though not a part of The Resistance) calls the Thom Hartmann Program to let America know that a group of Republicans are organizing to have Mike Pence invoke the 25th Amendment to impeach Donald Trump, leaving the country to be led by President Mike Pence.

Earlier this week Donald Trump Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh told the Congressional hearing that his views on Roe vs Wade were that it was established law but newly released emails show the nominee questioning this, did Brett Kavanaugh lie to the Congressional hearing and the American people already?

Is Donald Trump Supreme Court Justice Nominee Brett Kavanaugh hiding a connection or opinion on the Mueller investigation that would slow or even stop the nomination process? Senator Kamala Harris questions the nominee, why can't he remember something so important?

The biggest question on the mind of many people inside and outside the White House, is who wrote the anonymous Op Ed criticizing the Trump administration, is it a patriot or a traitor, is this treason to undermine the president in this way, and is the "not your resistance" resistance from inside the Republican party someone we should admire, or do they just want a more stable slide into undemocratic policy, just who are these unelected members of the Trump team fighting to make his presidency and policies viable?

If the Republicans force through the Brett Kavanaugh nomination nomination is there anything progressives can do to hold onto democracy and the rule of law, will we need to take the tactics of Cory Booker or is this a political Kobayashi Maru?

Emails released by Cory Booker reveal how Brett Kavanaugh would rule as far as affirmative action, and racial profiling are concerned and they are frightening, Brett Kavanaugh's colorblindness will be blind to racial discrimination and will lead to the return of legal discrimination, Is this who America wants on the Supreme Court?

Brett Kavanaugh's supreme court nomination has brought up a vague Supreme Court rulings which we will need to understand if we are going to get through the Trump presidency and what could be a far right Supreme Court

Congressman Mark Pocan joins the program to discuss the nomination process of Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick Brett Kavanaugh and takes a call on whether or not paper ballots will be able to stop Republican efforts to curve voting rights through election fraud. Will Paper Ballots be able to stop Red Shift?

Brett Kavanaugh is not showing his full deck of cards, what kind of legal advice did he give president George Bush on Torture, War, and other crimes that could hurt his nomination and will progressives be able to expose these in time?
