Thom Hartmann Program - 1 Hour Edition - 02/01/19 - Republicans don't seem to want everyone to have health care, but they want everyone to be able to have a gun. What is wrong with those priorities? Underneath it all, does the right wing want to have a servant class, and believe that they fundamentally deserve to live like aristocrats? A fascinating discussion.

Thom Hartmann Program - 1 Hour Edition - 01/31/19 - Today, a fascinating swim through tax fairness, and income inequality. As Fox'con'n appears to have tricked Wisconsin to walk away with most of the massive tax breaks Scott Walker gave them, this is par for the course as billionaires and the rich- from the Starbucks CEO to the Wal-Mart heirs must be laughing all the way to the bank. And meanwhile, most of us are squeezed hard for property and other wealth taxes. What to do?

Thom Hartmann Program - 1 Hour Edition - 01/29/19 - Corporate lobbyists and billionaires are directly running the executive branch, and many congresspeople have been bought and paid for- corruption is explicit and extreme, and the president seems to be looking for a good war wherever he can find one. Is it time to declare this a true crisis that requires an energetic Progressive crusade on the order of the world-changing Progressive movements in our past? And who should and could be elected to lead that change?
