Full Show 2/15/12: AUSTERITY DOESN'T WORK!

Thom discusses how austerity is killing the European economy, and talks tea party austerity, the Keystone Pipeline and Obama's appeal to women voters in tonight's Lone Liberal Rumble. In tonight's "Daily Take" Thom talks of the wave of republican radicalism since Teddy Roosevelt, and how Fox News is going left (?).

Is Fox News Moving Left?

How does a surprising change at Fox News foreshadow greater changes within the Republican Party?

The Good, the Bad and the Very, Very Chimopelagiceously Ugly

The Good! *Texas County Court at Law Judge Bill Harris* On Monday - Judge Harris issued a temporary restraining order against Transcanada - the company responsible for the Keystone XL Pipeline - from doing construction work on a residential farm in Paris, Texas. The Bad! *Dr. Keith Ablow* Ablow - a so-called "expert" psychiatrist for Fox So-Called News - was interviewed on Tuesday as part of the network's war against Media Matters founder David Brock. And the Very Very Ugly! *Rick Santorum* Santorum likes to portray himself as an average Joe who cares about the nation's poor.

The secret plot to teach kids "climate change is a hoax"

Amanda Beadle, Think Progress.org joins Thom Hartmann. Big oil doesn't take no for an answer. And now - teaming up with the right-wing thinktank the Heartland Institute - big oil is trying to make sure they win every single environmental battle in the future. How exactly are they planning to do this? By brainwashing American students.

Is Minnesota the new front in the fight for gay marriage?

Marty Rouse, Human Rights Campaign joins Thom Hartmann. New Hampshire is trying to repeal gay marriage and Minnesota is trying to constitutionally ban it. Will marriage equality ever be accepted in America like it is in Canada and Mexico City?

The Banksters plan to re-make Europe

What's going on right now is a financial bulldozing of Europe - nation by nation - so that banksters and their rich buddies can come in and buy up whatever is left of the commons at a low, low price - and make enormous profits into the future.

Full Show 2/14/12

Thom asks why Republicans are choosing the Norquist tax pledge they signed over the oath they took to uphold the constitution. Also discussed: the ever increasing power and influence of Wall Street, the war against the Keystone pipeline and Thom's "Daily Take" on why America's far behind the rest of the world when it comes to telecommunications.

Keystone Pipeline heats up w/Bill McKibben

Bill McKibben, 350.org joins Thom Hartmann. Republicans are trying to stick the Keystone XL pipeline project into crucial transportation legislation. How did Americans decide to stand up to this latest hostage-taking - and can we kill the Keystone pipeline for good?

Are you being "throttled" by AT&T?

Just gimme a second - I'm trying to check my email... Normally it takes like two seconds - but for people who've used "too much data" - the wireless providers are throttling down their connections - basically giving us dial up speeds. It should take just a few more minutes... My service provider says it's necessary so they can "manage data usage on their network." So why is it that in the United States - which is supposed to be the best at everything - especially connecting to the Internet - people have to wait 2 minutes for data to load on the Internet? Especially when they pay a pretty penny for the so-called unlimited data plan? The answer is...because our government has coddled the major telecommunications corporations in America for far too long - giving them monopolies in the marketplace. And with no competition - consumers are screwed - having to choose between one plan that costs too much and one plan that's far too slow - or both too slow and too costly. Without competition - there's no real drive in America to produce faster connection speeds at lower costs.

The Good, the Bad and the Very, Very Hordeaceously Ugly

The Good! *Noah Lamaide* After hearing that his grandma could lose her house from defaulting on her mortgage - the 12 year-old Lamaide decided to take action. The Bad! *Arizona State Republicans* Republicans in the Arizona State Senate have introduced a bill that states educators in the state's public schools AND universities can be fined - suspended and fired if they "engage in speech or conduct that would violate the standards adopted by the Federal Communications Commission concerning obscenity, indecency and profanity if that speech or conduct were broadcast on television or radio." And The Very Very Ugly! *GOP TV's Liz Trotta* In an interview on Fox So-Called News Sunday- contributor Liz Trotta was asked about her thoughts on the Pentagon's new rules easing the ban on women serving in combat in relation to the high numbers of sexual assaults on women in the military
