HLC-061-Trump’s Abortion




Harvard Lunch Club Political Podcast  show

Summary: <br> Welcome to the HLC Podcast for April 5, 2016. It’s the Trump’s Abortion edition. We are nanophysicist Mike Stopa and radio talk host Todd Feinburg. Find us online at<a href="http://harvardlunchclub.com/" target="_blank">harvardlunchclub.com</a> and on twitter @hlcpodcast.<br> <br> Here are our topics:<br> <br> 1) Last week, Trump’s War on Women escalated into a spontaneous, unsophisticated statement on abortion when the Donald told Chris Matthews he thinks a woman should be punished for having an abortion.  Does this hurt Trump, help him, or, maybe, start a death plunge that can’t be pulled out of?<br> <br> 2) Laws that will move the minimum wage to $15 an hour – eventually – are becoming law in states like New York and California. Isn’t this bad policy that really is a confession from the left that their education system is failing, their anti-poverty programs are permanent poverty programs and the Obama years are ones of economic malaise.<br> <br> 3) Are we suckers for manipulation because of the primitive effect of fear?<br> <br> We’ll have our Shower Thoughts, and for our Hidden Gem, we remember that little band called the Beatles, who in this week in 1964 held the top five spots on the billboard charts with Can’t Buy Me Love at number 1. They had a total of 14 singles on the top 100.<br> <br> Find us online at <a href="http://harvardlunchclub.com/" target="_blank">HarvardLunchClub.com</a>, follow us on Twitter – @hlcpodcast.
