Exxon Lied and the Planet is Dying...

Kris Ullman, Conservative Commentator & Activist & Chuck Rocha, Solidarity Strategies & Scott Greer, The Daily Caller all join Thom Hartmann. Exxon Lied at the expense of the planet

The Good, the Bad - and the Very, Very Lutulently Ugly!

And the very, very ugly! Benjamin Netanyahu. Bibi's known for his hawkish language and hyperbole about the threats facing Israel. But yesterday he decided to take on a new role - revisionist historian and Holocaust denier. In a speech to the World Zionist Congress on Tuesday Netanyahu blamed a Palestinian for and claimed that the Holocaust - "Hitler didn't want to exterminate the Jews at the time, he wanted to expel the Jews. And Haj Amin al-Husseini went to Hitler and said, 'If you expel them, they'll all come here." Bibi went on to explain that when Hitler asked what he should do instead - the mufti told Hitler to "burn them" This is so historically off-base that German Chancellor Angela Merkel issued a statement clarifying that Germany is responsible for the Holocaust. Bibi didn't just get history wrong though - the sole goal of this rewriting of history is to generate hatred towards Palestine. That's ugly - but the fact that at the same time he seems to be absolving Hitler of blame for the Holocaust?

GOP Is Pushing Granny Off the Cliff Again!

Kris Ullman, Conservative Commentator & Activist & Chuck Rocha, Solidarity Strategies & Scott Greer, The Daily Caller all join Thom Hartmann. While House Republicans are scrambling to find a leader among them - Mitch McConnell in the Senate is prepared to let the government default on it's debt if he doesn't get his way. Some of the demands include provisions that will prevent the EPA from enforcing recent Clean Water requirements. McConnell’s demands include reducing the annual cost of living adjustment to social security payments and raising the eligibility age for medicare. So why does Mitch McConnell - and the rest of the Republican obstructionists - want to push Granny off the cliff?

Is Black Coffee & Psychopaths Connected

Dr. Frieda Birnbaum, What Price Power joins Thom. Leave room for milk and sugar? It's a question many of us are asked on a daily basis when we go out to buy coffee - and it could be the key to weeding out the psychopaths in our lives. Seriously - I'm not kidding.

The Phony Debt Crisis

Ari Rabin-Havt, -The Agenda/SiriusXM Progress (ch.127)/The Benghazi Hoax joins Thom. Congress has until early in November to raise the federal debt limit. The Republicans are already doubling down with their claims that we can't let our humongous out-of-control debt balloon any further. But new evidence shows that the debt might not be out-of-control - it might just be miscounted.

Is A Third Intifada Underway...?

Zaid Jilani, Alternet joins Thom. Three people were killed at a bus stop in Israel over the weekend - just the latest in a wave of violence that's swept over the country since the beginning of October. And with thousands wounded and dozens killed - the big question is whether this is the beginning of a third intifada.

Dr. Jim Stanford, Unifor/Economics for Everyone & Marshall Auerback, Levy Institute/Economists for Peace and Security both join Thom.

U.N. To Call for Decriminalizing ALL Drugs?

NYPD Lieutenant Joanne Naughton (Ret.), Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (L.E.A.P.) join Thom. Billionaire businessman Sir Richard Branson made a post on his Virgin blog praising the UN for an alleged leaked document from the United Nations Office On Drugs and Crime. The Document seemed to outline a call for the international community to decriminalize drug use and possession for personal consumption - and further to start treating drug issues as a public health issue. And that would be great news! Except that the UN chiefs in Vienna quickly contested the document and asserted that it does not amount to official policy. Meanwhile - the UNODC itself is not refuting the paper - but it is claiming that people are misunderstanding the nature of the brief that Branson posted - and that the brief is a working document - not a final or formal document. So it doesn't seem like this will be official international policy anytime in the very near future - but it does give hope for an end to the global war on drugs - and for a new approach to how the global community approaches drug issues.
