Thom Hartmann Program - 1 Hour Edition - 10/30/2018 - Funny how schools and many parents in Silicon Valley are banning computers and phones from the classroom, while poorer cities go the opposite direction. Meanwhile, Trump continues to take a page from the Nazi playbook, almost every single day.

Thom looks at critical look of the fragility of socially isolated youth growing up with their attention fixed on phone screens. With a consideration of the new book, "The Coddling of the American Mind" co-authored by Jonathan Haidt, Thom reflects on the impact screens have on developing minds including increased suicide rates, and a rejection of digital dependence on their children by Silicon Valley parents. ----------- Listeners call in with very interesting observations and experiences on kid's screen addictions. ---------- Thom wants listeners to vote for the cover of his new book ---------- Trump is following the Nazi's first rule of manipulation - never let the public cool off- so Trump stirs the pot constantly, even if his vitriol leads to mail bombs and mass shootings. ---------- Talk Media News' Luke Vargas has a hot story from London via Iran on why the Saudis really killed Khashoggi. And, how long does it take to walk to Texas from Guatemala? ---------- Callers respond.
