Tom considers evidence suggesting that Trump might use war with Iran as a pretext to declare martial law. For perspective on this , he checks in with holocaust survivor Dr. Henry Oster- author of 'Kindness of the Hangman'- for his perspective on the creation of the fascist German state. Fellow commentator Juan Cole, who has written on the subject of US-Iran relations, gives his opinion. Then, Congressman Bob Ney from Talk Media News drops in to discuss the events of the day. All this, plus listener calls and a reading from 'Why Buddhism is True' by Robert Wright.
