Why Do The Wealthy Want To Throw Children Off Food Stamps And Medicaid?
The rich changed the rules forcing over 1 million US children off their health care coverage.
Why are the rich so enthusiastic about throwing children off food stamps and Medicaid?
Is it so there will be more money left over for them and they can get more tax cuts? Or is it that they hate poor people or think there are too many of them?

Exposing Billionaires' Bias On Broadcast News
Radio and TV stations are bound by FCC regulations, but are some bending the rules beyond the pale to promote political views and candidates?
Pam Vogel from Media Matters joined Thom to talk about the Fairness Doctrine and what Sinclair Broadcasting is doing.
Sinclair Broadcasting had only one commentator, Boris Epstheyn who used to work for the Trump campaign and was briefly in the administration. He is now their chief political commentator. This gave just one editorial voice and this gave no editorial balance.
Are Sinclair Broadcasting bending the FCC rules on station ownership and content?
Should radio and TV stations be politically independent? ...

Republican Snowflakes Manufacture Propaganda
Thom Hartmann reveals the motivation behind Republican antics in the House of Representatives.
After Donald Trump offered military aid to the President of the Ukraine if he would smear Joe Biden on CNN... Republicans illegally broke into a closed door intelligence committee hearing to stop the impeachment process.

GOP Personalized Healthcare Puts Profits Over People
Should Medicare for All allow an optional private healthcare sector? Thom asks Dr. Scott Babrour where's the choice in being denied healthcare?
Dr. Scott Babrour from the Job Creators Network wants to move employers our healthcare and have people make their own decisions. He says patients should only pay for the health care they use.
But, if people can’t pay, then it comes back to the for-profit insurance companies to pick that up. Dr. Scott Babrour says countries like the UK with a public health service are failing and wrong.
Thom and Dr. Scott Babrour debate Medicare for All and just who is making billions from our health care.

A Criminal In The White House Is A Threat To The World
A genuine criminal in the White House is a threat to the future of democracy.
None of the Republicans are claiming that Trump is innocent anymore. The impeachment process is now their entire focus. They claim that Trump can break the law without consequence while he is in office. Thom takes this line of thinking to its logical but dark and absurd conclusion in this must watch segment.

Privatization Starts Fires: How States Can Put Them Out
Free markets don't work for utilities says Greg Palast, instead it leaves everyone burnt. But state governments can take over these companies. We have the blue print.
Greg Palast investigates fires, power outages and evacuations caused by mismanagement of private utilities like power companies. When these companies are run for profit, the consumers get worse service and end up facing mortal danger as well. Greg Palast proposes a way for ....
Wildfires destroying people’s homes in California and people dying because they can’t afford their insulin are the same thing. Both are examples of how corporations have risen up and taken over the legislative process, turning the power of government to their own ends of ever greater profits. This was all made possible by the Supreme Court in the late 1970s in a series of decisions that said that when billionaires and corporations buy and own politicians, that is "free speech" rather than bribery and therefore cannot be regulated. We must overturn these corrupt decisions by the Supreme Court if we are to return the American political system to the American people and thus restore democracy to America.

Far Right Decides What Is & Isn't News On Facebook [[w/ Judd Legum)
Why is Facebook using the far-right website Breitbart to decide what is legitimate news on its website? Judd Legum exposes Republican Operatives who call the shots at Facebook.
Why is Breitbart controlling what is real news at Facebook? The far-right website linked to Steve Bannon is among the trusted website Facebook is using to determine what is real news and what is fake, part of Zuckerberg's push to answer for his part in ads paid for by foreign governments misleading the American people in the 2016 election.
If Facebook is using Breitbart to answer for the targeted ads and fake news that spread across its platform in 2016, are we any safer or are we in more danger?

Never Turn Education Over To Parasitic Corporations
Parasitic corporations are trying to take over public education and Julio Rivera wants to let them?
America became the world's leader in education in the mid 20th century because of free college through the GI Bill & a well-funded healthy public education system. Why would we turn this over to parasitic corporations?
Elizabeth Warren released a stellar education plan, promoting civil rights, cracking down on privatization, shutting the school-to-prison pipeline, treating teachers as professionals, and eliminating high-stakes testing.
Maybe for Julio? Which of these things do you object to?
