Full Show 12/2/15: Bill O’Reilly: The Left is Destroying “Traditional America”

Thom gets the latest on the San Bernardino mass shooting from RT correspondent Brigida Santos and tonight’s Rumble discusses O’Reilly’s fear that the left is destroying traditional America, the massive spike in home abortions since Texas started closing down clinics in 2013, and Obama’s call to put a price on carbon. Thom discusses how an Alabama police department is allegedly guilty of planting guns and drugs on African Americans with radio host Ari Rabin-Havt and how one Oklahoma town is experiencing massive earthquakes because of fracking with Cornell University engineering professor Anthony Ingraffea.

Politics Panel: Trump Charging CNN for Debates?

Gianno Caldwell, Caldwell Strategic Consulting & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Bryan Pruitt, RedState joins Thom. CNN will host the next Republican debate on December 15 in Las Vegas - and republican frontrunner Donald Trump is threatening to boycott the debate - unless they donate 5 million dollars to the Wounded Warriors Project. So - isn't this the ultimate financialization of our elections - and our democracy?

Politics Panel: Why Is the GOP Provoking Terrorists?

Gianno Caldwell, Caldwell Strategic Consulting & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Bryan Pruitt, RedState joins Thom. So - why are we spending trillions on tracking and identifying potential Muslim terrorists - when the real threat is homegrown right-wing terrorism? And second - is the rhetoric from the Republican presidential frontrunners provoking the real terrorist threat in America?

Is Ted Cruz the Most Extreme Anti-Woman Candidate?

Marge Baker, People For the American Way (PFAW) & Vicki Saporta, National Abortion Federation joins Thom. Ted Cruz was endorsed by a well-known male supremacist who has argued that "abortionists” should be executed by the governments. But that doesn't even make Cruz the most extreme anti-woman candidate?

When will family leave apply to ALL workers?

Rome Aloise, International Brotherhood of Teamsters all join Thom. Mark Zuckerberg announced in November that he would be taking two months of paid "paternity" leave once his baby is born. That leave was extended to four months for any employee. That’s good news for Facebook employees - but isn't it time to extend that benefit to every American worker?

Full Show 12/1/15: Bernie Polling Better Than Obama Was in 2007

Tonight’s Politics Panel discusses how the Republican presidential candidates are inciting violence and hate, Bernie’s poll numbers today compared with Obama’s in 2007, and whether the rumors surrounding Rubio’s extramarital affairs are true. Thom discusses how the Republican party promotes misogyny in America with People For the American Way’s Marge Baker and the National Abortion Federation’s Vicki Saporta and Facebook’s expanding of paid parental leave with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters’ Rome Aloise.

Monsanto... Buying Journalists Now?

Gary Ruskin, U.S. Right To Know, join Thom. Experts have been appearing in major publications to weigh in on the GMO versus organic debate for years now. But the question is - who are these experts? And who funds their research?

TTIP & Big Oil... Secret Deal Exposed

Curtis Ellis, Obamatrade.com/American Jobs Alliance, join Thom. The final text of the Transpacific Partnership - or SHAFTA as I like to call it - was released earlier this month to the public. That text is finalized and is waiting for Congress to vote on it - but SHAFTA's Atlantic counterpart - the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership - is still under negotiation. And observers are increasingly worried that the TTIP could undermine any attempts to curb global CO2 emissions and mitigate the most dire impacts of climate change. In fact - new documents obtained by the Guardian show that officials have given oil lobbyists and refinery associations unprecedented access to the negotiations - even asking for "concrete input" on the text of an energy chapter.

Why Are Climate Activist Under House Arrest?

Naomi Ages, Greenpeace International join Thom. Today marks the first day of the COP 21 international climate negotations in Paris. But with France under a state of emergency - climate activists are being forced to get creative with how they make their voices heard.

White Supremacists Are Scaring Cities

Joe Madison, The Joe Madison Show/SiriusXM (ch. 126) & Hilary Shelton, NAACP join Thom. Black Lives Matter Protesters in Minneapolis were told to leave the 4th precinct of the city earlier today. The order comes just one week after white supremacists opened fire on the protesters - and is supposed to help keep protesters safe. But does this mean that white supremacists are scaring cities into suppressing free speech?

Crazy Alert - Lobster Catching Dog?!?

Wow, and I thought Louise and I teaching our dog Blue how to roll over was impressive. The video then goes through a step by step process of how to teach YOUR dog how to catch lobsters too. Louise and I live with two cats and a dog, but this changes everything, especially for someone who lives on a boat.

Full Show 11/30/15: GOP Lies Lead to Murder in Colorado

Thom discusses why Fox News has devoted so little air time to the shooting of Black Lives Matter activists in Minneapolis with radio host and activist Joe Madison and the NAACP’s Hilary Shelton, the first day of the Paris climate talks with Greenpeace International’s Naomi Ages, and how journalists aren’t disclosing that their sources are funded by Monsanto with U.S. Right To Know’s Gary Ruskin.

Really! How Do You Know a Politician is Lying?

Steven Gaffney, Steven Gaffney Company/Be a Change Champion... Mastering Momentum joins Thom. Politics - like law - banking - or business - is a dirty game - and sometimes good guys need to do bad things to win. That’s the idea - at least. But what if everything we've been told about lying and communication is wrong?

Rumble: Trump's Fascist Rhetoric Continues

Medea Benjamin, Global Exchange/CODEPINK/Drone Warfare & Kris Ullman, Conservative Commentator & Activist & Kevin Martin, Project 21 join Thom. Donald Trump's fascist tendencies aren't restricted to his attitudes towards Mexicans and Muslims. Now - he's doing everything he can to restrict the press and to keep them "in the pen."

Rumble: Aren't all of the cops who helped this cover-up really "bad cops"?

Medea Benjamin, Global Exchange/CODEPINK/Drone Warfare & Kris Ullman, Conservative Commentator & Activist & Kevin Martin, Project 21 join Thom. It's been a day since the dashcam footage was released showing the execution style shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald in Chicago. But with more and more evidence that there was a concerted cover-up in the police department - why is Officer Van Dyke the only one facing charges. Aren't all of the cops who helped in this cover-up really "bad cops"? And shouldn't they all be held accountable for the conspiracy? Also - are we ready to admit that this problem is systemic and not just endemic to any one town or city?
