There couldn't be a starker contrast between Kennedy and Donald Trump, we've all heard the bellicose, vulgar and less than verbose vehemence of Donald Trump, what of the courage and profile of former President John F Kennedy?

Thom is joined by Brian Darling , a former Rand Paul staffer to discuss the GOP's new tax bill. Is it really fair for Billionaires to pay such a small percentage of their income when the poor and working class pay much larger pieces of their salary?

A conservative former prison staff worker wants to know why we can't get rid of criminals and terrorists who are "obviously" guilty. Because It's the right thing to do, because it is what makes us American.

Thom takes your calls on this Wednesday before Thanksgiving. One caller suggests a sort of civil disobedience against Trump's racist policies, if Trump is trying to kick out all the brown people, be they Haitians, Mexican, central American, or Syrian, we need to make America Brown Again! What do you think? Could we stop Trump by defying his orders? More next on the Thom Hartmann Program

As we depart for Thanksgiving, we talk about how what the Koch brothers, the republicans and others of the Billionaire class are doing today, is really just following a long tradition of colonization. Last year Indigenous folks were attacked by the state because they sought to protect themselves against a pipeline, this year, they are cleaning up a spill in the ground. We have to break the imperialist cycle.

There is still a sealed indictment from Robert Mueller and no one knows who it's for, Thom speculates that this sealed indictment is for the President himself, a trump card, pun intended, for when the President tries to Pardon one of his minions. What do you think? Is Robert Mueller playing seven dimensional chess?

With Thanksgiving this week, there will be no live program for Thursday or Friday.

It looks like a larger cultural shift i s taking place right in front of our eyes, where men will actually be held accountable for their crimes against women.
