Thom Hartmann answers your calls

Horace Cooper, National Center for Public Policy Research joins Thom Hartmann. After coming under enormous pressure from religious groups - the Boy Scouts of America have decided to delay its vote on allowing gays to be members of the organization. Is this a civil rights issue to you? Couldn't you make the same argument against blacks not being allowed in private organizations?

Mike Papantonio, Ring of Fire Radio joins Thom Hartmann on Drones. Now that we've set a precedent - what's stopping other nations or organization from using them against us?

With the American public and Congress beginning to understand this nation's full use of drones - is the drone program in for a major change now that the secret's out? Given the choice between supporting the President or supporting the nation's Constitution, the Constitution comes first. In fact, the President's oath of office requires him to put it first, too.

Thom talks drones and the John Brennan hearing with attorney and radio host Mike Papantonio, Boy Scouts and their policy on gays with Conservative Horace Cooper and Michigan's new mandatory transvaginal ultrasound bill with Progressive Sam Bennett. Thom takes viewer phone calls in "Your Take, My Take Live," and in tonight's "Daily Take" Thom discusses how teaching Ayn Rand's philosophy to our nation's children is a very bad idea.

These are the names of the men who have committed some of the deadliest mass shootings in American history. But - putting aside weak gun control laws, the gun lobby and gun manufacturers - who really helped these men to pull the trigger - and take so many American lives?

Imagine you're being stalked from the sky. Every time you go in or out of any building, it's recorded. Everybody you talk with. Everyplace you drive or take public transportation. Your sky-stalker can see through your windows, read your lips, and, using infrared cameras, can even see if you've lit a cigarette - of any type. Shouldn't this be illegal?

Thom Hartmann's crazy alert

Richard Eskow, Campaign For America's Future joins Thom Hartmann. So this might be less about actually holding Wall Street suits accountable, and more about revenge for embarrassing our nation. Or - did President Obama get the message from the last election - which is the American people are sick of the crimes on Wall Street and actually want to see some suits thrown in prison?
