Donald Trump is known as the dumbest president but should we focus on serious critiques of Donald Trump that go beyond his lack of intelligence?
Is it enough to call Donald Trump dumb or should we be calling him dangerous?
Congressman Mark Pocan joins Jefferson Smith to talk impeachment, the Iowa Caucus and more!
Progressives are talking about moving to Canada if Donald Trump wins the next election. Jefferson Smith reveals how moving could actually hurt not the Republic but also the world and democracy itself!
Jefferson Smith talks about the Iowa Caucus, the failure of the DNC vote app and the chaos that was the first primary vote.
Will the Democratic primary be able to move forward even with all the controversy over delayed poll results?
What happened at the the Iowa Caucus? A caller who was there tells us what it's like to run a caucus from her own home and what went wrong with the app!
There is a myth that progressives like Bernie Sanders are not viable in an election... Jefferson Smith breaks down why that's wrong.
Were the Iowa Caucuses disrupted by a failure in the caucus process itself or was it the App used to tally votes?
Rush Limbaugh received the presidential medal of freedom and may have tainted the award forever.

Democracy is in danger and this well funded movement is behind it, Jefferson Smith shares how corporate personhood has infected the judiciary!

Just what happened in Iowa and why after two days are the complete Iowa caucus results not available?
The Nation's John Nichols joins Jefferson Smith to discuss Iowa.
Will the Democratic primary be able to move forward even with all the controversy over delayed poll results?
For years Mitt Romney has used his Mormon faith to back up Republican legislation against any progressive movement but now he is using that same faith to take on Trump?
Jefferson Smith discusses Mitt Romney's vote against Trump and how that squares with his history. Voting for witnesses and voting to convict Donald Trump on one of the impeachment charges.
Are we focused too much on presidential politics instead of learning all the ways we can get involved, the lower ballot races to watch and building up New Politics?
Emily Cherniack joins Jefferson Smith to discuss New Politics and how we can get involved!
How did Donald Trump get acquitted from impeachment? Was it corruption or is the entire system broken?
Paul Blumenthal joins Jefferson Smith to discuss how a radical new theory, that no president can be removed for abuse of power, has broken our checks and balances and let Donald Trump off.
Do you think future presidents will use Trump as a way to avoid accountability for their own issues?
What happened in the Iowa caucuses? We go inside the App that created the chaos and conspiracy.
Lee Fang of The Intercept joins Jefferson Smith to discuss the delayed vote results in Iowa, Bernie Sanders' near tie with Pete Buttigieg and the implications this brings up.
Election security is going to be a major issue but if everybody doesn't come together to fight for fair elections, we may never get the vote back from corporate oligarchs.
Karren Kornbluh joins Jefferson Smith to discuss why we need election security now more than ever!
Do we have to choose between a free press and a free market? Jefferson Smith asks us to think about what free really means.
A free market economy might be taking over the free press. What are we to do to ensure that corporations and money interests are not taking over our democracy?
The right wing talks a lot about the federal budget, government spending and more but how much is real and what should we really know about the federal budget?
Do you agree with Jefferson Smith or think we missed something?
Are our elections unsafe because of the for profit press? How can we have free and fair elections while the press is making money off dividing America?
Karen Kornbluh joins Jefferson Smith for the Thom Hartmann Program!
Iowa's primary election results were delayed so much that many are calling it rigged. But behind all the controversy, could it be a win for LGBT Americans?
Although Iowa is not known for diversity, Americans showed up for two candidates, one a member of the LGBT community, Pete Buttigieg, and another, a Jewish Senator Bernie Sanders.
Whatever happens in the elections, this could be a victory for many Americans and point towards a great future.
Do you think that Americans voting for LGBT and Jewish candidates is a sign of the times for America or a turning point in history?
What about Mitt Romney going against Donald Trump?
Winning the presidential race is only one part of 2020. To be successful, Democrats need to win these legislative races.
Jefferson Smith goes over the legislative races Democrats need to win in order to get control of the government and country back.
Americans love disruptors and always have. It’s part of our political DNA, stretching all the way back to the American Revolution... and it may take a disruptor to stop Trump.
Thomas Jefferson ran for president as a disruptor, dedicated to bringing down the conservative regime of John Adams who had already put more than 20 newspaper owners in prison for saying bad things about him. Andrew Jackson ran as a disruptor, promising to close the Second Bank of America and return economic power to average Americans. Abraham Lincoln’s disruption, although painful, altered our country forever for the better. Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt massively disrupted the fabric of America, and Americans loved them for it. Jack Kennedy ran for president as a disruptor, and after he was assassinated his vice president, Lyndon Johnson, lead one of the largest revolutions in American history with the Great Society and the Civil and Voting Rights Acts. Bill Clinton campaigned as a disruptor, although he failed in that; Barack Obama promised disruption - “Change!” - and brought us a historic presidency and the Affordable Care Act.
Donald Trump ran as a disruptor and now sits in the White House. If Democrats want to take the White House back from Trump, they can’t do it by being “nice“ or promising to “work with Republicans across the aisle.“ The American people know that things are not right, and they want someone to blow the system up, metaphorically speaking, the way all those presidents just listed have in the past. This election is not about left or right, socialism or capitalism, or any other of the conventional wisdom.
It’s about status quo versus disruptors. And a disruptor will win against Trump.

How Jefferson Rescued Democracy from Tyranny and Faction—and What This Means Today
After the chaotic results of Iowa's caucus, thefailedsuccessful impeachment attempt, callers are asking Congressman Ro Khanna, where do we go from here?
Can progressive candidates convince voters to keep faith in American democracy or has Trump and the military-industrial complex eroded it too far?
Are you shaken up by the news? What are your plans to get involved?
Are humans and animals really that different?
Ingrid Newkirk wants progressives to start thinking about Animal Kind instead of just mankind!
What rights do animals have? And are progressives responsible for caring for the welfare of animals?
Does this mean we need to go vegan?
^^^ China should order this book by the caseloads!
Food-process wise, they undertake/ consume/ expend nearly every animal, reptile or fish that moves, crawls or flies......
