Thom considers a scenario in which Trump refuses to honor the traditions of our nation; will Trump follow the oath he took to faithfully enforce the laws of the United States? If not, then what then?- or what now? ~~~~ Thom fact-checks his scenario with Talk Media News' Luke Vargas. And why is Iran talking about uranium? ~~~~ Thom asks his listeners what we should do if we are watching a slow-motion coup leading to a strongman form of government. ~~~~ Thom reads from 'State of Confusion: Political Manipulation and the Assault on the American Mind' by Brian Welch. ~~~~ As Don Mcgahn refuses to answer a congressional subpoena, Thom looks deeply into the state of the constitutional crises- what is the history, and what are our options? ~~~~ Paul in New York thinks our military generals will intervene if Trump challenges the constitution.... and the discussion continues. ~~~~ Dawn in Georgia is pissed that Trump is working to become an oligarch and rule over all of us like a king.
