Hartman program today is The Hidden History of the Supreme Court and the trail of America by a guy named Tom Hartman. From the interaction a rebellion against monarchy and it opens with a quote from Abraham Lincoln they can and must confess that if the policy of the government upon Michael questions affecting the whole people is to be fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court the instant they are made that an ordinary litigation between parties and personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers adding to that extent practically resigned their government into the hands of that eminent Supreme Court tribunals from his 1st inaugural speech explaining why he was refusing to recognize. From the time Americans wake up in the morning throughout their day's work or play right through a full night's sleep everything they do touch in just breathe and use has been touched in one way or another by the Supreme Court food drugs transportation clothes roadways water sceptical lectures everything in model life modern life is regulated in some way either in manufacture distribution of sale or use and those regulations are allowed or disallowed ultimately by the u.s. Supreme Court at home and in the workplace American lives are regulated by the Supreme Court also whether there could be a minimum wage or unemployment insurance how much power employers have over labor unions employees whether consumers can sue when are my products for corporate actions and how far police and other agencies can go in prosecuting or sometimes persecuting individuals or entire groups of people the court determines who defines the limits of your right to protest and your right to a free press it has final say in everything from taxation to regulation from public space to private space from contraception to marriage both directly. And indirectly the court determines how wealth can be earned accumulated. It decides how far the rich can go in exploiting the poor and working people and whether working people can fight back meanwhile America has ended up mostly since around 1980 was one of the most corrupt and political systems in the developed world with billionaires and big corporations literally writing legislation to benefit themselves from the federal state to local levels. We wrote for The New York Times March 29th chain quote 75 percent of Americans favor higher taxes for the ultra wealthy idea of a federal law that would guarantee paid maternity leave tracks percent support 83 percent in favor strong ality rules for broadband and more than 60 percent want stronger privacy laws 71 percent think we should be able to buy drugs imported from Canada and 92 percent want Medicare to negotiate for lower drug prices and quote Congress a whole has not even once seriously considered any of these things in decades the recent quite simply is literally billions of dollars of politically poisonous cash flowing from corporations and ideologically motivated billionaires into a blood stream of our body politic and what's in Congress or any president in history to change laws to make this possible it was the Supreme Court right now and throughout much of u.s. History the ideological makeup of the u.s. Supreme Court had little resemblance to the political makeup of our nation and 29000 for instance solid majorities of Americans support a woman's right to access abortion and birth control voting rights a national health care system well funded public schools and free education through higher taxes on corporations to pay for infrastructure and expanded social safety net and regulation of corporate behavior from pollution to banking these are issues that enjoying the Jordie support from working Americans and American communities but not from corporate America or America's billionaires shows in part sworn in to the court has historically. Almost always sided with the wealthy the powerful and the corporate against the poor the weak in the individual in many cases struck down was passed by Congress and signed by the president a process called judicial review. Is the core questions about the Supreme Court's decisive role in determining the fate of the planet why did the French framers create the Supreme Court what is judicial review and how does it make the Supreme Court what Thomas Jefferson post Ha No 3 called a despotic branch how does the history of the u.s. Constitution explain the court's frequent decisions in favor of the wealthy and corporations when it has the court sided with popular and how people successfully challenge the court in the past I did 20th century coalition and business leaders control the American government including the Supreme Court and why is this now a planetary crisis most important what can Americans do about all this in the beginning there were those among the founders and framers of the Constitution who didn't mean for the court to have this much power Thomas Jefferson was among them are one of those most dives into the philosophies that guided the men who drafted the constitution it also shows how an ape you know 3 the Supreme Court set itself above Congress and the president the power to review strike down or rewrite laws based on it's own alone interpretation of the Constitution importantly the framers of the Constitution gave no consideration to the rights of nature or even of the environment other than a sphere pretty productive potential to enhance the wealth of the nation instead of the environment when the Constitution was written in the summer and fall of 77 the new thing in political circles was the idea of property rights for commoners which had only clearly been articulated outside of the realm of horror in the previous centuries John Locke wrote in his 1690 treatise of government the main purpose of government was to make sure that quote No 1 May take away or damage anything that contributes to the preservation of any one. Life liberty Health Group The Hidden History of the Supreme Court and the betrayal of America by Tom part of. This. Program. We've been talking about. Being the catalyst for war and tearing around the planet and here in the United States the assault on democracy and how democracy is an antiwar force. How capitalism and the Republican Party have essentially destroyed Christianity are in the process of a kind of dismantling it and we'll continue our conversation but I want to take this out a little bit I want to ban this somewhat and and dig into neurological difference I mean. There is this narrative that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a psychological illness that people with that are broken that it is a defect that it is a disorder I mean it has a word in its name. But just think about this for a minute the personal characteristics are 3 things and by the way the reason I want to dig into this I think that you know in a way in a number of ways actually ties into all the other things I've been talking about and I'll pull this together at the end but any other 3 cardinal characteristics of a.d.h. Deep the 1st is impulsivity. Actually the 1st ability to actually you know Johnny is sitting in his classroom and there's a. Feeling while you know his teacher is talking and instead of listening to his teacher Johnny is looking at the. Actual distractibility number one number 2 impulsivity. You know Johnny just blurt out engage mouth before engaging brain. And number 3 risk taking behavior or a high level of need for stimulation in life. And. Back in the. Late seventy's early eighty's when we were running this committee for abused kids and then. Later when one of our own kids was diagnosed with p.t.s.d. I wrote a paper about this in 1980 the fine gold hypothesis we. Got to know Ben final quite well his book Wired child is hyperactive the just been published 978 as I recall. When I met with him my paper was published in The Journal of Orthomolecular psychiatry and what I read that I came up with. You know my most recent book on this is a d h d Hunter and farmers world the 3 that I came up with was that these kids are not broken at all and kids by the way it's adults too I'm one of them that these kids are not broken at all. There is. An ecological niche. A logical net a practical life. For people who are easily distracted impulsive and like risk. And that is what in my opinion. Of the human race 430-0000. When we are 100 other. You know $400.00 forest looking for a lunch. And they're not carrying their environment constantly noticing everything around them all the time they're going to miss that flash of light that over there the sap running that's going to be launched or that flash a light over there that's a bear that wants to make them launch a little of the star or get weeded out of the gene pool so distractibility is actually an asset in hunting together and. Similarly if you're going through the forest and you're chasing the rabbit and suddenly a deer goes by you don't have time to pull out a pad and pen and see what. You hear but easier to catch your meat. And by that time they're both gone. You have to make a decision and be engaging in it really before you even realize you've thought about it and that's the definition of impulsivity is. Preceded og mission in other words we we make decisions that are an unconscious level and beginning gauging the behavior before a conscious level we even start thinking about it that's impulsivity. And then there's need for a high level of stimulation Well you know in a hunting gathering Well somebody wakes up in the morning and you know I don't leave the cave there are things out there that want to eat me. What's going to happen to a person they're going to die starve. But somebody wakes up in the Mises you know you know it sounds like. Going out there are those things a lot eat as much as I want to eat them and finding food and you know beating the system as it were. In the predators. Now about 10000 years ago we switched and not all of us but. What has eventually become the majority of us switch from hunting gathering to agriculture there was a pastoral piece in there that lasted probably 456000 years that doesn't get much discussion and that's a whole kind of tangent but you know basically we went from being hired gatherers to being farmers. Now if you're a farmer. And you're distractable you know. Plants in things and the butterfly goes by and you butterfly I wonder whether you look at the. Tree over there with honey in it I think I'll go get it and you forget to plant those seeds. Right distractibility would be a liability you have to be able to focus right farmers are out there picking bugs off plants bug after bug after bug day after day hour after hour week after week month after month picking all those bugs off those plants and you have to have all my and that's organized away. So distractibility becomes a liability in a farming. Impassivity becomes a liability in a farming. It's an asset for a 100 others it's a wide ability for farmers you can't you can't say how that we grew really well last year but that's kind of boring let's plant ragweed what happens. Everybody dies with the crop comes in and you can't even. Get their patients to think things through you have to plan a year it literally a year in advance one of the things I've noticed about people are they d.s.t. Is they have a hard time thinking even a year out right everything is now right it's like living in the present. Very good. But not very farmer. And then you know risk aversion. Down they live in the same place for years at a time. If they if they want to take risks you know they they believe. And of course that's what happened you know I think that you know you had Europeans who came to North America and a lot of more a d h d and the old you know up and down the East Coast and then those who were the most distractable among them the most among the hunter among them they moved out to the Midwest and then the most Hunter among now moved to the black the mountains the most Rajaraman that moved all the way to the west coast and then they hit the Pacific Ocean and that's why we have Hollywood. There is by the way an association a clear association I posited this my 1st book on this topic back in 1906. And it has now been demonstrated in fact Dr Richard Silberstein wrote a paper that was published a peer review journal just 3 or 4 months ago citing me as a source for the suggestion that there is a positive correlation between aviation and creativity. And it doesn't have to cripple somebody having to Thomas Edison for example who I think is a classic example somebody with a when he was 7 years old school teacher told his mother that he would never learn anything it never amount to anything. And she told the school teacher where he could put it and she became his teacher he was home schooled by his mother. She reorganized wife to give him a high level simulation and allow his creativity to run wild and he changed the world as a result. Then Franklin another guiding the classic example of $88.00. And there's a bunch of. And then we have to ask ourselves you know if roughly 10 percent and it depends on whose numbers you're looking at some are saying 234 percent others saying as many as 10 percent of our kids are diagnosable is 88. How does nature make that kind of a mistake it's not amnesty. And back in the ninety's when I 1st was writing about this I hypothesize that we would eventually find that there's actually a genius associated with a d h d and that that gene would be found in a large. Well represented among indigenous higher gatherer people and would be less well represented among people who had lived as farmers for thousands of years . And they have now identified a. Number of their all the dopamine genes g.-r. That are the primary don't mean receptor genes. In the d 4 gene and you know specifically you know things that cause the gene to express in different ways are overrepresented in under represented in various populations they found. That I mean my theory has now been demonstrated to be true. And what this does gives us. You know what do you do about this you know little Johnny is tractable impulsive and likes to take risks but he's in a classroom that was designed for farmers. Because you know the industrial revolution is just an extension of the agricultural revolution and sort of picking bugs up class or putting bolts on screws all day long but same boring stuff and so you've got to get right people ready for that so you have this boring school that's really one like a factory where you break everything into little pieces you know individual unique subjects and you teach things in order and all this kind of stuff doesn't work for a lot of kids. So what do we do we give them drugs to turn them into farmers. How's that useful they're going to be hunters for the rest of their lives now I'll acknowledge there are some kids who have so severely that they can't function in any kind of school without some kind of medication there is a small and I'm not sure that that's even necessarily related. In those kids. And I'm not you know saying oh don't ever give kids drugs or adults for that. You know I take drugs myself I'd took a cup of coffee this morning I had a glass of wine last night these are drugs we do drugs. But. Before we start passing pills. Shouldn't we be thinking about making our schools Hunter friendly. I mean isn't that a reasonable thing to do. That particularly now that we know that there's actually a positive correlation between Creech everything and 80 h.d. . Why would you want. Except for the convenience of the schools. Let's make schools that actually work for this country. And then we. Can all pick that up right after. It's. Very kind of the story of my life. That just it's 18 minutes for us to go. Do you have somebody who does. That work out have you figured out ways. Around it. And. I would get a lot of you know. Conversations left over from our previous hours as well so let's get back into that and answer Tucker Springs New York you want to get back to religion. Yet Thanks Tom for taking my call how are you I'm well I hope you are to know my father was an old old Republican and I do we do agree with your statement regarding the Reagan years as being the beginning of the breakup of the middle class in our country corporatism. Rice but you know he always said that opiates of the masses is what religion is and which is called marketers out there yes. You know I was raised Catholic but I am an atheist now I totally believe that religion has been used by the human audience control the masses and. Basically my statement of that would be that. It's I don't understand why why we can sit here and talk all this on t.v. Or on streaming of course and so few people are aware of it I mean when I go out and also on a on a manic thing I am manic Ok and I'm very highly creative I have a very high i.q. . And I've always that issues this well being a female because I actually say what I feel you know very very conservative but being an intelligent woman it's been very difficult for me to really get someone into our society to have friends that are intelligent writers and whatever but I think mainly has also one of the for. Their well being for society many many trips that should be appreciated and not dragged away it may well be some people or couple bipolar disorders. Or to not other people or not and some people really are times for weeks or months and down times and weeks and months and in fact I think that you can even make an argument. Depression You know the down the downside of mania. So adaptive because people who are depressed tend to separate themselves from the rest and when we try but way they would be the people who live in the periphery of the tribe there they don't sleep well they're constantly you know concerned about what's going on around them they would be the lookout for warning the early warning system the bacteria point about religion he thought that the Illuminati was using religion I don't think that we have to go that that that big guy I think said to Jerry Falwell join your religion to exploit the mass I think that you know Franklin Graham is using religion to exploit the mass I think these mega church and every case exploiting them in the mass for their own benefit I mean these guys are becoming. And of course they don't pay any taxes. And I do educational institutions such as Harvard and Yale. Educational Systems to not pay taxes. And that's another issue that should be tax I think I think educational pirate educational institutions should be taxed Well I think you can make a strong case that they at the very least should pay property taxes but you know income taxes but I'm a I'm a all for charging. Property tax churches thank you for the call nice to hear from your. Past the old director Akers the trauma of the program. Exposing the carnage in conservative record. Length. So here on the program recently we had a fascinating conversation with Professor Richard Wolffe about how banks have to keep basically 10 percent in reserve in case there's a run on the bank everybody wants their deposit back in the banks can lend out 90 percent but they have to keep that 10 percent so they can pay you you know give you your money back if you want to Fannie and Freddie have a similar requirement. To just go south didn't go south in 2008 and he and Freddie couldn't cover the shortfall and as a result they collapsed and we you and I had to pay 190000000000 dollars to bail them out back there reserve requirement was $0.45 on $100.00 now it's $1100.00 Our special members only refute can find over Thom Hartmann dot com is all about this what it means where it can go and what we can do about it so check it out of Tom Hartman our com. We're talking about 86 kids although I think in my heart of Farmer story I was explaining that I mean all those examples were adults. So how does this play out in the lives of adult. It turns out that in our society. We actually have jobs that are really good jobs for people who are farmers I mean that's fairly obvious the people who you know want to put the screw on the ball one after another after another after another all they want just standing there on the assembly line or on the office equivalent same you know processing insurance forms or whatever it may be you know people who just have the ability to be there and focus you know 8 hours doing one repetitive thing after another there's plenty of Farmer jobs out there. But it turns out that a lot of good hunter jobs out there. I mean you need a little bit of skill. If you lean farther toward harder that's the investigative journalist as opposed to. Maybe the person who's in the studio just reporting the news every day 1st I want to get out there and get into the deep into the details of the hunter. Gather every investigative journalist I have ever known and well. I think I could probably diagnose with a. Detective again there's 2 different kinds of private. Police detectives there's the people who do the very. Kind of work and research stuff and then there's the people who like to get out there on the streets and just you know dig into things. So. The advice that I think that we need to be giving to our children. Now that this has gone from just theory to actual science the advice you need to be given your children. About you know what do you want to do when you grow up. You know obviously find what you're passionate about and follow it but make sure that it's something that is never going to be. Boring or so difficult so boring or so difficult because your brain is not wired that way if you can't stand it you want something that you would love doing for a long period of time for me that was being an entrepreneur started you know bunch of my life and 5 of them have been successful 4 of them were quite successful a couple of them failed but being around Twitter was my thing and now do you know doing this. Radio program Radio and t.v. Program. And you know I'm a member of that tribe. So tell your kids there are things out there and some of them pay really well against the entrepreneurs in this world some of the very wealthy ones you'll find a lot of. On the other hand if you. Told me back your call. It is coming up on 28 minutes past the hour here in charge and over the true people. You are listening to the Tom Hartman program. Will be back with your call. Our book today the Tom Hartman book club is our IP g.o.p. How the new America do mean the Republicans Daniel a b. Greenberg from the international. Mary an amazing story and if you're in if you hadn't what happened to America over the last 4 years he wouldn't believe it and even has a happy ending that's none too soon for all of those of us who have been fighting and after a bit who've had enough fighting their vision and enough politics in the end of politics portends a country united and finally liberated from gridlock to address the nation's problems it ends with the death of the Republican Party as we've known it. Work to recreate the party of Lincoln relevant for our times. It ends with the Democratic Party liberated from the nation's suffocating polarization to use government to advance the public good as a cut as a guide is the country used to expect to see our country is hurtling toward a new America that is average more racially and culturally diverse younger millennial or secular unmarried with your traditional families and male breadwinners more immigrant and foreign born who are more concentrated in them growing metropolitan areas which are magnets for investment and for people. The new American companies a vast array of family types and working families it was both the men and women face growing challenges a new America as ever more racially blended and multinational more secular it religiously pluralistic the new America braces the country's immigrant and foreign character it now includes the college educated and suburban women who want respect and equality in a multicultural America America was shaped by major social movements civil unrest political battles and government action at junctures and by the choices of the 2 national political parties they created a more modern America each moved America away from traditional strictures on blacks women and immigrants juncture made America freer more equal and more democratic but the Democratic Party actually exactly that aligned Democrats with the country's emergency civic norms and alienated the Republican Party from the country and from itself. America was changed profoundly by the battle to pass civil rights laws that ended racial segregation and ensured blacks said the right to vote bipartisan immigration laws reopen the country to non Anglo-Saxon immigration in 1065 and greatly expanded it in the late 1980 s. The Supreme Court but women are a pass to greater independence and equality when it declared in 1965 that women have a right to privacy and birth control and in 1973 when it made abortion legal and he different choices came to fruition with the election and reelection of Barack Obama the 1st African-American president whose activist government produced a Tea Party movement and revolt that accelerated the polarization of the country and made attributes of our race an immigration matter as never before the Tea Party and Donald Trump battled to stop history and stop government and he sure the Democrats were deeply divided sometimes more than the Republicans this was true on matters of civil rights immigration and abortion the last after finding social issues were settled in law by the u.s. Supreme Court national Democratic leaders embraced and defended the changes in new freedoms that aligned the party with a modernized America and its values after more than 5 decades the Democratic Party is associated with equal rights equality gender equality tolerance openness to diversity and more the Republicans like for all bases in the south and later in the Appalachian valley in rural states across the country juncture they escalated their battle against these national changes the party's national leaders ignored their own deep divisions and worked inventively to show they were champions of the white people are in the battle over civil rights and affirmative action its leaders in the sexual revolution and championed to this day amendment to make abortion illegal . They were opposed to women breaking free of the patriarchal family and winning equality they mobilize against illegal immigration in the states and nationally fueled by Patrick Buchanan 3 campaigns for president Newt Gingrich letter revolution in the early one $990.00 s. The put the g.o.p. Into a total war footing against the Democratic Party determined to expand the liberal welfare state and marginalize conservatism but those forces featured. The Tea Party led the G.O.P.'s life and death battle against President Obama as Affordable Care Act fueled by Tea Party protests that elevated white racial resentment and hostility to immigrants defeating and dealing generalizing the President Obama was a last chance to stop the new America from winning Obama's 2008 election the Wall Street bailout in the Syrian battle to pass Obamacare produce the Tea Party revolt and the Tea Party wave election in 2010 the most consequential election of our lifetime it gave the Tea Party fueled Republican Party effective control of the u.s. House and Senate 2 thirds of the governorships and more than 60 percent of the state legislative chambers was rushed to radically redraw the legislative and congressional map to ensure big g.o.p. Majority for a decade. The Tea Party led the g.o.p. He pushed the country into fiscal austerity and to deconstruct government to stop Democrats from using government for positive and for paying off its growing coalition with new entitlements. Thanks. Elaine enjoy Why have twice 27 day oceanic crews will be going to Bermuda and I'll be hosting on board events about the topics today more info at Tom Hartman dot com 480-856-1155. You know we got a lot on our plate from war democrats or republicans corporate buyout the sell out by the Supreme Court this morning of the voters of Michigan you know in a 5 to 4 decision that Allana Kagan said was you know. Wept at a party. But you know it's like it's a 54 decision and you know with with the trunk and solve going here you know you do gerrymandering good there you go bad Gary in Philadelphia Gary what's on your mind today. I ordered it and thanks for taking my call you're welcome. So you were just talking about. And I really just called to say thank you. I. Am back in the day one minute my brain dysfunction in hyper active Were you there plans or you were in our class. And I'm. Not exactly so. So because of. Your different perspective which was still best we different and every other books that were being written at the time by Barclay and a lot of the other guys. You changed my life and I want to call or say thank you I've been listening to your show or I also and growing you know I really got a call that guy and say thanks. For that but that will actually. Help me. To appreciate what I what. Up until that point I was different and mirrored and. And. And. I knew I would not I had a lovely lovely right I. Think I had so many areas that. How did you know all that I would like you said a.d.h. The people if they're not interested you know what they're not interested they are interesting. For them and. Yeah I prefer it and I stocked up a lot of like. I don't know ended up working a charter school. And very high functioning on the spectrum that's great and we opened the open for 2 years and you got shut down by the little specks. Not to love us and were threatened by us and I just want you to know that you meet your book State of our lives as well so thank you thank you Gary and that book by the way different perception is out of print but I took several and and read through brought it up to date add it all and use science wrote 2 new chapters one about sleep and the other I forget what the other was and it just came out last month came out a few weeks ago actually under a new title aviation Hunter our farmers were on so that. I read it I read that and I was. In the section I thought in the end that and I must know the poster boy for that people with a. 68 percent of people with a.d.h. Do have a sleep disorder and you have to know what high energy people and you know what they are baseline is much much higher than the average person and so you know and therefore a lot of it a lot of strokes end up you know getting stronger sleeping pills and things like that and. There are a lot of good not cynical. Writing and. Not out there by. You know I get it and and people say with alcohol that's not particularly useful so any Again I go I would thank you for the call and thanks for your kind words and thank you for your welcome Larry and probably are going to worry what's up. I want to tell you that about 15 years ago here in Portland I and Mike and I completely alternative run by volunteers in a small staff and. There was a higher percentage of young boys and girls and most of the time it was knowing what had been told and paying attention and getting you know and school I believe is still running and running today and successfully and let one of the things that worked so well these were super creative things and we had 13 year old. Kids that were leaders that could get a group of kids together to play and and one of the lovely things about it was that it was child glad they got to choose what they were interested in and be caught in that subject but I think what made it work really really well and when the kids would get sick of sitting or rap but all they had to do was get a parent volunteer or staff to go out and they were allowed by God all running around and play games climb treats. And then come back and go back to whatever they were doing yeah and all of the kids in the school literally not going to school every day that now there's something you know that are you know are entered in public education as a consequence of this kind of top down thresher you know they can that comes from. Whatever. To do away with. I mean it's crazy Laurie. Crazy and I mean it 1st hand I watch it who are considered you know unproductive point it's. Already in the school. And. I wish we would. What we ended up doing our one of our kids went to public school. One of our kids we homeschooled and one of our kids went to a private school that was specifically where the kids ran the school it was kind of a summer hell school with high academic standards and you know they all worked and they they all adapted you know and to do it to their individual neurochemistry right thanks for the thanks for the call and thanks for sharing your story it's great to hear from you Larry in Santa Monica Hillary what's on your mind the day. I just want to piggyback on the previous conversation you're having about people in Jericho. Yes I'm a former pastor for almost 20 years I've been out of the ministry now for about 6 or 7 years but to truly understand this movement in this country you have to go back a few years you probably remember may have a bit of Oral Roberts who was on the p.b.s. And I remember him well. He was. What they called now fresh very message actually started in this group Protestant So beginning with Robert who taught that. There are echoes We hear you and quite frankly a lot of people receive some sort of. Typical really. Attributed to opportunistic privilege a killer get. Paid. Not only that they got it more accurately. But Dr Oz to give you miracle money for and then became a caretaker became popular in the 1970. 7 The he met a man named Dr Casey Price who with a black. Artist and minister in Los Angeles and Dr Pryce Fred Price. Dr Hagen's and together they actually propagated basically around the country. So what we call now the for the prosperity message back in those days it was actually called the Gospel. You know there was a huge split in the Protestant church. Throughout this faith because it had its roots in the kind of constant church so you had made right organizations like the few groups in the method if. You had Presbyterian. And other. Made by groups who actually opposed to this new doctrine but then you had other groups who were considered himself a little bit more and the Candida not Dr not the nominee fully aligned fell into line with it so you have all of the competing ideas and doctors were the church. And here's a live action. Down in Texas becomes converted. To the church actually pastor during that time had started sort of being led to the. Prosperity message of your church anyway Colette the sort of strands of evangelical Christianity bringing together the old really fundamentalist strands which have their doctrine their beliefs about the end. They're very conservative in their views and then bringing in a constant belief that our prosperity. And you know 980 and 84 George w. Bush was the press for advisor to the Reagan campaigns on bringing Christians into the into the g.o.p. . Exactly right because. Grand the Christianity was not the brand of Christianity this product started brand of Christianity. They were appealing it. Christianity were sort of. Full sort of pressure so where are they learning we're going to we're going to break church only move where do you think Christianity Christianity anyway is asked right now I mean. Prosperity Gospel I mean I guess turned into a scam basically and and there milking people I remember when all Robert said you know God's going to take the office you don't help me raise 50000000 dollars or whatever it was. You know and. On the other hand the reason I went to Katherine Coleman wants a man and a woman who if we had our side for 4 hours waiting to get into the church with. Jeff was right in front of me I mean it was shocking. Green all of a sudden she could hear it might have been a psychological disorder who knows you know it might have been a genuine miracle but you know I'm going to but but where where do you think that going now. I think with your very probably military genuine miracle I'd ever Christian ever believe are bad things supernaturally fair happen but bad bad. I did and yes everybody can get rich. Absolutely and I think I think that where we're at right now is a breaking point because the. Christianity the prosperity train and evangelicals actually had. Several times. And it's not really working for them so what you have now is a backstop. Let's say for. All of that and then they get people behind people like Donald Trump or socially warmongers thinking that you know that war on Israel is going to be a good 60 Right exactly. Right just asked Larry thank you for the call trigger for me back to your listening to Tom Hartman visit Tom Hartman dot com for audio and video back to more your. 60. 8868. am. I'm back. Here and yeah Layla know what's on your mind today. But I want to think about. The next here when you were talking to the 1st one. I think we can rely on any one politician to think about. How we are. Going to support her if he gets elected Democrat Senate. Might like to get a green you know past and fix the Supreme Court and everything. That was. The beginning I don't want to have any more politicians. When Barack Obama was elected I'm not making that mistake again. I think your statement that we're the ones we've been waiting for is the key to the whole thing that if we don't have any political revolution. What I would call is grassroots politics if we don't have a large enough base of people who are actually engaged and actually show up and participate in the 40 year campaign that the billionaire class launched against democracy with the beginning you know beginning with the Reagan administration and arguably beginning in 1971 with palmetto and then Richard Nixon putting Paul on the court and somebody to win the Barclay decision in 76 and 1st national back in 78 saying that billionaires and corporations can own politicians. To Reagan. That that allusion will not be turned back and to the end result. Where we will get to and we're very close to right now as something that resembles fashion. And we're seeing the rise. What I would call fascism all around the world the corporate state or a state run by only her and I'm very concerned. I want to. Mention that there is. The social welfare system. And. Work for free or something like that. Going over our. Work makes free their their actual phrase quote It is the redeeming power of work. I had completely forgotten that that was the slogan over maybe it's maybe it was. Actually the not. Because I visited and I think it was. Whatever you know which is near. As a deer Nurnberg I think south of there anyway. Yeah yeah. They're still special Now you know if we if we if we cut people off from their benefits they will want to go to work and I think if you cut people off from their benefits particularly if there's not work available to them or at least not meaningful work available to them you destroy them it's just you know you're just you're going to be fueling you know more addiction and more crime and more and more despair and broken families I mean you know we need to give people you know he can't pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you don't have bootstraps and you know he's got a starting point there's got to be a baseline. Alina thank you so much for the call great to hear from thank you personally came. Back 10 minutes before the time on the program. The water cooler. There's a new paper out from breakthrough the National Center for Climate restoration in Australia this is one of these papers that you know companies buy these things governments buy them from the think tanks. By a bunch of military experts. One of these guys actually who was also the chairman of the Australian clear Also solution and chief executive of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. The bottom line real quick even for 2 degrees Celsius warming more than a 1000000000 people may need to be relocated in high end scenarios the scale of destruction is beyond our capacity to model with a high likelihood of human civilization coming to an end they do offer a solution it's a radical Marshall style program you can check out the entire thing on our special you know kind of Members Only Or is pretty enough for our supporters video over at Tom Hartman dot com You can check it out at the whole thing so check it out at Thom Hartmann dot com. John Berman here with you and. Let's see here Robin in Kingston Washington Hey Robin what's up. I term Are you a fan of Pepco air traffic controllers. Who need a little bit of a d h d to make that work we stop scanning we're in trouble yet you're actually right. Anyway I actually have I got a comment that ties a bunch of things and why religion is just I believe the same kind of sort of atheistic or agnostic I believe that religion is a process that keeps men in control and that and higher is ending and the good in pressing still will save them to be withheld from women but the Internet is not so the Internet is this era's Gutenberg press and that's why we're not just standing up. An example of this would be a sham it's watch list and in Seattle for 5 years ago when she started out I would drift over on the other side of the sound that I'd support and do what I could to help out and I kept on encouraging her to form a new party a new socialist party called the eco socialist party economic socialism and ecological socialism and tell a 56 times she didn't do that then all the sudden blame all of a sudden somebody else invented that and that is the Alexander has your court has the green new deal that's exactly what that is so I just want to tie in a few things that you have been talking about and clearly the Green New Deal is the citizens push back to corporate and banks for control of a capitalistic society says this is exactly you have a right this is a battle ground and and so stand up or just or splayed out so yes yes engaged everybody so this is the black last just wrap it up. Once you open up the stock. I doubt. Politicians the Democratic candidates I'm going to try and better judge my observations repeat better judge. If they meet sure in coming out of the military industrial complex and he is to the left or right John McCain is to the right military intelligence McCain wants and get on thank but he speaks smoothly with hybrids so you will find out the better judges in position to get the draft things. I go rather rather. Well he could be part of the thinking of think as a. Strategy any clubbish our stress and of course our strategy you know if Joe Biden I mean the guy or the the woman I get a person to catch to catch that and yeah the story which which is going to you know I want all of that came out today that that Mark Zuckerberg and his wife were personally advising campaigns on who they should hire. I think giving a lot of people are a lot of pause and maybe maybe something wrong with taking advice from smart wealthy people on the one hand on the other hand is there more to it than that I think a lot of people are waiting to find out I'm not I'm not sure I'm ready Comstock talking horse but Rob and I absolutely get what you're talking about. Thank you for the call Dave in Buffalo New York a Dave what's up. Thanks so much about religion and any other religion and why it's so difficult to leave. And. There was just.
