Thom Hartmann Program - 1 Hour Edition - 02/05/19 - Thom thinks the state of the Union is -worried-! From the damage Trump's corrupt rule is doing to the damage he could do- from deliberately losing thousands of people's kids, to putting Koch industries in charge at the EPA, to massively running up the federal deficit solely to give massively rich people a huge tax cut, to handing Russia a get-out-of-treaties-free card and sparking a nuclear arms race, to ending net neutrality, to fostering a low-wage economy for millions... Hey, what could go wrong?

Thom's take on just some of the crazy world Trump is presiding over- should we be worried about the state of this union? - Trumps cancellation of the nuclear treaty with Russia could be dangerous, with the possibility (probability?) that both sides will now develop new nuclear weapons. Derek Johnson from Global Zero tells Thom about what happens next and whether we are all safe " or not. Is the Cold War back on? Russia immediately reacted, with Vladimir Putin also withdrawing from the INF Treaty. Did Russia breech the treaty? Or the U.S.? Or both? - Thom's callers have a very clear idea of what we should be worried about. - Even though net neutrality rules have been rolled back, citizens are still fighting for the principle to be restored and save internet freedom. Yosef Getachew from Common Cause has the details, and what we can do. - Venezuela and other American foreign policy 'interests' are on the brilliant mind of Luke Vargas, chief foreign correspondent for Talk Media News. - Thom's take on the realities of inequality, health care, and taxes. How do Progressive solutions apply? And the callers clarify and deepen the train of thought.- Patreon ask - Thom examines the state of our union with his thoughtful callers. Why do the millionaires who host the cable news shows not cover how the rich shelter their taxes?
