Thom, long time fan of yours but I have to take issue with you talking about 9/11 this week.
It seems over the years you've strayed away from questioning 9/11 (I'm assuming either for not wanting your show to turn into "the conspiracy hour," or coming to a level of acceptance and "not crying over spilled milk").
However, and with all due respect, you sound foolish with your dismissive comments--particularly relating to the jet fuel fires (the jet fuel burned off in a matter of minutes), and the fact that it weakened the steel (perhaps, yet not shown to weaken the steel to the point of failure, let a lone the 200,000 tons of steel below the fire). Nonetheless, jet fuel nor building compounds contain thermitic material, which was found in numerous dust samples from the site.
Please take some time this weekend and look at the amazing research and arguments that have been worked on over the years relating to what really happened on 9/11; particularly those done by architects & engineers and pilots for 9/11 truth. To not do so is a disservice to yourself and the public at large.
Here is a rebbuttal to that lame "weakened steel" video you referenced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw1i__Qb_QI
Cheers.

From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
Student Debt Jubilee - I thought of this last year when doing my taxes. we should be able to write off student loans as a bad debt over a few years. And I agree we need to go all the way back to 1980. It might be hard to find the paperwork but i bet your credit report has it. maybe we just do a blanket number based on the avereage cost at the time of graduation.
