Ed Schultz, The News With Ed Schultz, joins Thom. Tonight's Republican debate is getting all the coverage - but Sunday's Demoratic debate is where the real show will be. Thom asks Ed - So what can we expect from this Sunday's Democratic debate? And how can Bernie use this opportunity to really make this race his own? Plus - be sure to tune into the premiere of "News with Ed Schultz" Monday, January 25th at 8pm on RT America.

Horace Cooper, National Center for Public Policy Research & Medea Benjamin, Global Exchange/CODEPINK/Drone Warfare & Charles Sauer, The Market Institute all join Thom. Dark money groups have already spent over 143 million dollars since last July. And experts are estimating that there will be way more - up to 10 times the amount - of dark money spent in the 2016 election than there was in 2012 when it totaled more than 300 million dollars. This is money that's donated to super PACs and is completely unaccounted for - we have no idea how many people are making the donations - or even if the donations are coming from foreign entities like Saudi Arabia - or Israel. So - is it time to repeal Citizens United? Or do we need to pass a constitutional amendment banning money from our politics?

Lynna Kaucheck, Food & Water Watch, joins Thom. Does Obama Need to Intervene w/Flint Water Crisis? Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has called in the National Guard to help with the water crisis in Flint - Michigan. This is great news - but why didn't he do this months ago?

Tonight’s Rumble talks Obama’s final State of the Union Address, Bernie’s rise in the polls, and how much the Bundy Boys’ stunt is costing taxpayers each day. Thom discusses the latest on the Flint water crisis with Food and Water Watch’s Lynna Kaucheck, the end of the public comment period for the TPP with obamatrade.com’s Curtis Ellis, and in tonight’s Daily Take Thom discusses Obama’s historical error in last night's address.

President Obama's call for bipartisanship at last night's State of the Union address ignored some basic facts of history - here’s it is...

Horace Cooper, National Center for Public Policy Research & Medea Benjamin, Global Exchange/CODEPINK/Drone Warfare & Charles Sauer, The Market Institute all join Thom. Hillary Clinton is attacking Bernie Sanders on universal healthcare - from the left AND the right. Is she making a big time strategic error?

President Obama gave his final state of the union address. Where's the nation heading - and what's in store for us at this critical moment in history? Here are my thoughts...

Zahara Heckscher, Writer/Educator/Social Justice Advocate, joins Thom. Michelle Obama invited Ronna Rice - a 71 year old owner of a honey company - to tonight's State of the Union address. Is the White House hoping to make her the face of the Transpacific Partnership?

Thom previews tonight’s State of the Union Address while looking back at FDR’s 1936 address and its relevance today. Tonight’s Politics Panel discusses Bernie’s lead in Iowa and his moveon.org endorsement, Hillary’s recent attacks on Bernie, and Trump’s continued attack of Cruz’s citizenship.

Thom discusses the latest polling showing the Democratic primary race a dead heat in both Iowa and New Hampshire with Democracy for America’s Neil Sroka, the latest from the Bundy boys’ militia with The Nation’s Zoë Carpenter, and our nation’s homelessness problem with Street Sense’s Brian Carome. And in tonight’s Daily Take Thom discusses how Bernie is about to overthrow the modern day Democratic Party

A corporatist junta has taken over the Democratic Party - and only one man can save it.

Richard Greene, E=MC2 and The New Definition of God/Words That Shook the World joins Thom. But what if God and science do mix?

Brian Carome, Street Sense DC, joins Thom. It's been an unusually warm winter this year in the nation's capital - but that hasn't stopped the deaths of over 50 homeless people - within miles of the United States Capitol and the White House. And the homeless community isn't ready to let this matter be ignored.

Curtis Ellis, Obamatrade.com/American Jobs Alliance joins Thom. The Transpacific Partnership - or SHAFTA as I like to call it - is only open until this Wednesday - January 13. The TPP is a so-called "free-trade" agreement that has been negotiated behind closed doors with heavy input from giant global corporations to manage trade between 12 countries and the United States. The President is expected to make a strong sales pitch for the agreement during tomorrow's State of the Union address - and he's expected to make the case that this trade agreement isn't just about the United States' economic interest - it's about our national security and balancing China's influence in the Pacific. But the simple fact is - these insane "free trade" agreements - like NAFTA - CAFTA - the WTO and Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China - have never done anything to strengthen America strategically.
