Thom Hartmann Program - 1 Hour Edition - 11/23/18 - Thom takes on the growing gulf of income inequality from a Progressive perspective, taking listener questions. And as the congressional Progressives become the largest caucus within the Democratic Party, House leader and co-chair of the Progressive caucus Mark Pocan humbly has a meeting of the minds with the people on the many pressing issues, from the Saudis to wildlife with stops for immigrants, guns, and the latest Republican con-jobs.

Thom launches a discussion on the growing extremes of income inequality, and adroitly takes the issues callers raise on this question. ------- Thom reads from Lawrence O'Donnel's new book- 'Playing with Fire: The 1968 Election and the Transformation of American Politics'. ------- As congressional Progressives flex their newfound muscles as the largest caucus in the House, Thom once again welcomes the Co-Chair of the House Progressive Caucus, Mark Pocan. Topics include congressional priorities, Trump's official policy of selling out to the Saudis, the kids starving in Yemen as the Saudis continue to drop American bombs, the possible impossibility of bipartisanship, a less-than-shiny new A.G. Whitaker, the delisting of wolves and failing to protect wilderness, immigrants, racism, guns, our reality star president, and sneaky Republican riders & procedural shenanigans likely in the lame duck session. ------- Marcy in Elgin, Texas is tired of hearing Republicans talk about mobs, when the constitution protects our rights to peaceably assemble.
