Thom Hartmann
Thom Hartmann is an American radio personality, author, former psychotherapist, businessman, and progressive political commentator, whose talk show has been rated in the top 10 shows for over a decade by Talkers Magazine. He discusses his recent book, “The Hidden History of American Democracy: Rediscovering Humanity’s Ancient Way of Living,” by focusing on facts, such as many of the founders were Deists, not Christians, who firmly believed in a strong separation of church and state. Several contemporary challenges today are that Donald Trump ostensibly tried to illegally overthrow a fair election and install an autocratic, anti-democratic government; support for the US Supreme Court has declined primarily due to some of their biased judicial decisions and allegedly corrupt justices, such as Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito; and the misinformation and disinformation that is streaming out of many faux news outlets, such as Fox, OAN and Newsmax, which arguably pass themselves off as legitimate news operations.
