Can You Trust TV News?
Last week in an interview Chuck Todd admitted that he has now, finally, after all these years, realized that Republicans come on his show and others specifically to tell lies and spread disinformation. How can you trust TV news and chat today?
Which raises the question: what is Chuck, and what are the other reporters going to do about this? Given that an entire political party has now become the naked tool of oligarchs around the world and giant corporations, with an absolute willingness to lie to the American people regularly, it seems like, at the very least, these weekends news shows should be running on a 30-minute delay so that the staff of the networks will have time to fact check statements and put accurate information on the on-screen chyrons.
Or, they could simply ban them until the party tells the truth, or ban individual Republicans on a three strikes you’re out basis: after three lies within a one month period, you're banned for the next six months.
In any case, we have a real crisis right now with an entire political party committed to not just ignoring the truth but actively spreading lies and disinformation. Watch the media carefully to see how they deal with it.
Thom discusses the lies on network television.

The End Of Cheap Money And Cheap Loans [[w/ Richard Wolff)
The Federal Reserve is pouring money into the markets and it is swinging the markets. There are $4.16 trillion of funds in the Fed and the GDP is only $20 trillion.
Flooding the economy is a stimulus for the economy, but it has meant that we have come to expect and rely on low interest loans and money. It has become too dangerous to take the country off its intravenous drip of cheap money.
How can this be resolved – and – can it be resolved?
Professor Dr. Richard Wolff explains how it all works.

Understanding Socialism: Richard Wolff vs Capitalism
Is your workplace more similar to a kingdom or a democracy? Richard Wolff explores how socialism can democratize the workplace.
Reviews from Understanding Socialism, by Richard Wolff
A blend of history, analysis, and theory, "Understanding Socialism" is an honest and approachable text that knocks down false narratives, confronts failures and challenges of various socialist experiments throughout history, and offers a path to a new socialism based on workplace democracy.
"Richard Wolff's book is the best accessible and reliable treatment we have of what socialism is, was, and should be.” - Cornel West
“In the same accessible style that has made his programs and lectures such a hit, he explains his subject in a way that's not only smart but makes the rest of us feel smart. It's actionable intelligence for every person.” - Laura Flanders
“Lucid, brilliant and uncompromising in his dissection of the capitalist system, he also provides a sane and just socialist alternative to capitalist exploitation, one we must all fight to achieve.” - Chris Hedges

Did Trump Start A World War?
Donald Trump could have just started a third world war... but to understand what's happening in Iran today, we have to understand what happened in Iraq back in 2003.
Donald Trump's latest move is in line with what Bush and Cheney did to get us into the war with Iraq in 2003, Thom Hartmann breaks down the news to give us a background on the region.
Is there any time for the people of the United States to stop from going to war with Iran?
Will a war with Iran boil out into a regional or a world war, and how will Russia or China react?

Who Was Iranian General Soleimoni?
Tensions have never been higher between Iran and the U.S. after the assassination of Iranian General Soleimoni but who was Soleimoni?
As Iran and the world morn the assassination of General Soleimoni, his legacy both good and bad are being remembered by Iranian people, two call in with conflicting and complementary views of the late Iranian leader.
Do you think Donald Trump was justified in his actions against Soleimoni and Iran, or were they merely short sighted and ill planned, or do you think General Soleimoni should still be here today?
