Thom Hartmann Program - 1 Hour Edition - 10/19/2018 - The cons sell "Trickle Down Racism" in Trumpworld and hope nobody notices the demolition crew getting ready to knock down what's left of the social safety net.

Thom explains how racism- ever present in the Republican party- has moved from covert subtlety to conspicuous blatancy in an effort to influence voters. A bizarre right wing election ad is analyzed that links the Kavanaugh grievance factor with racial framing to malign Democrats. ---------- Callers chime in on voter suppression, racism, and the impending midterm elections.  ---------- Talk Media News lends us Chief Foreign Correspondent Luke Vargas who comes bearing interesting stories; like the Pope goes to North Korea. ---------- Listeners call in on the issues of the day- will voters figure out that Republicans are in the process of mortally wounding social security? ---------- Thom interviews Dr. Joe Romm on the possibility that climate change could spiral out of control. ---------- Listeners call in on eating meat, hoarding weapons, and the ancient origins of aggression.
