In order to understand what we need to do next, it is essential that we know how we got here. How did Trump arrive as the President of the United States?
Money in politics is a cancer in America's lung and it is spreading. We have to stop this otherwise, every democratic effort could be in vain!
We need a doctor!
The newest reports and leaks point out that not only is Donald Trump not running the White House but he is being run by the billionaires and technocrats or those working for them. Enter former tobacco shill Mike Pence!
Thom is joined by Evan Greer from Fight For the Future to discuss how we can use the congressional oversight rules Republicans created to overturn progressive laws, in order to overturn the FCC's decision on Net Neutrality.
We are making a major mistake just going after Trump when really it is the whole system that allows Billionaires to have more say in our democracy than you or me!
We need an economy that works for all of us, one that doesn't just cater to the super rich and one that will not cripple our democratic values and traditions.
Thom is joined by Dr. Richard Wolff to discuss the possibility of a new economic crash.
With a peep hole into the bizarre workings of the White House, showing that our worst fears about Trump's instability and immaturity are true... What are we going to do about Trump or Pence?
Thom is joined by Matt Stoller the former budget analyst for the Senate Budget Committee and current fellow at the Open Market Institute. They address monopolies and mergers in the digital era. and how these were created by the Reagan administration for years onward.

Thom is joined by Alex Lawson of Social Security Works to discuss the Republican's clever plan to dismantle social security and medicare.
Oprah could be our next president? Really. After delivering an amazing speech, the nation is asking what will happen. Is she the populist progressive with name recognition that we've been hoping for?
If she does she will become the first woman to be president of the United States and the only the second African American to do the same!
In a way no she can't. Hey, I give Oprah her props for her talent and help to many per her ascension to one of the richest women in the world. It'd be called 'privilege' by some progressive were she white... yah-da. But she's worked hard to build her brand and following in terms of reaching the media mountain top.
Having said that, she has her baggage which will be unpacked should she start the presidential run. Once you go towards POSTUS it all goes public. That is the way of it. Plus, she'll have a hard time in gaining the same kind of "politician of the people" traction Sanders did [[and Hillary failed at doing). Nope. Ms. Winfrey's too far up the high money chain for that. No denying she's at the extreme 'yacht and royal inclosure' level.
On the other hand she'd have done better than Hillary Clinton. Well if not then, she would now, taking the Trump factor into account. And who is 'currently' in office always has some bearing on who's next at the turnstile.

How Homeland Security is Secretly Taking Away Your Right To Vote
[[w/Guest Greg Palast)Investigative Journalist and director of the film, The Best Democracy money can buy, joins Thom Hartmann to discuss the secret move to make voter suppression invisible by having homeland security take over and classify it so we can't find out!
How do we stop them when we can't even see what they are doing?
The rationalization of the morbidly rich use to justify their privation is falling apart and they are openly moving towards fascism, calling for monarchy, and denying actual science.
So whats at the bottom of this? It's money!

A caller asks Thom what can we do, short of pitch forks to stop the #MorbidlyRich, Trump, the Koch brothers, and the billionaire donor class from destroying our democracy? The answer...
VOTE!

Mark Pocan joins Thom Hartmann to discuss the issues of the day, take YOUR questions, today Mark reveals that Trump speaks the language of the Alt Right. No not Parceltongue, but the language of dangerous alt right like Richard Spencer, and Milo Yiannopoulos.
