SHOCKING: The Largest Transfer of Wealth and Power Since 1776 Will Make You POOR - Thom Hartmann
This is not law and order: it's monarchy enforced by fear and lawsuits…
this is how terror and intimidation work. This is how free speech and the rule of law die. It’s how kings rule, not elected presidents of democratic republics.
And this is how power enforces obedience: by making an example out of person after person, news outlet after news outlet, comedian after comedian, until the rest of us are too afraid to speak.
That’s the bigger story here. What Trump is doing isn’t politics. It’s the deliberate centralization of power, seizing it from the people and the media, silencing dissent, bending institutions to his will, and cloaking himself in immunity given him by six corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court. - Aired on 09/25/2025.
