Wallace Turbeville, with Demos & Former investment banker who spent 12 years at Goldman Sachs joins Thom Hartmann. Remember when our lawmakers promised they would end "too big to fail"? Well - they didn't. And now - too big to fail is even bigger. Here are the shocking numbers regarding Wall Street's wealth inequality.

So, guess what's the latest right-wing ploy to crash the economy before the election? War with Iran! On Tuesday - International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde warned that a military strike on Iran could disrupt oil supplies around the world - causing the price of oil to spike 30%. Lagarde said, "Clearly it would be a shock to economies if there was a major shortage of exports of oil out of Iran...A sudden and brutal rise in the price of oil would have serious consequences on the global economy." Right now - oil is the lifeblood of our economy. All economic production - from how our food is grown, to how our products are manufactured, to how our pharmaceuticals are made, to how our buildings and infrastructure are constructed, to how our workers get to and from their jobs - to how we power our homes - it nearly ALL depends on oil.Currently - Brent crude oil prices are about $123 a barrel. A 30% increase - would push the price to well near $160 a barrel. That's higher than where the price of oil peaked in 2008 - at $147 a barrel - just months before the entire global economy went into full meltdown.

Your Take/My Take - Don't Hunt in Cities!

A man with a history of violence against police was legally issued a gun and used it to murder a harmless teen. How is this allowed to happen in American society today? Since this Koch Brother's ALEC-endorsed NRA-inspired law was signed by Jeb Bush, the "justifable homicide" rate in Florida has more than TRIPLED. So Isn't it time we rethink these infamous "license to kill" laws so we can prevent more murders? And better yet - shouldn't we be asking ourselves how a man who was previously arrested for violence and battery against a cop was able to get a gun at all? While Trayvon Martin's death is a tragedy - we don't have to let him die in vain...It's time we stopped the needless crime that plagues America's streets - and enact tougher gun control legislation that will prevent deaths like Trayvon's from ever occuring again. Joining Thom Hartmann to discuss the case is Josh Horwitz, Executive Director of the National Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and John Manuelian, a pro-NRA criminal defense attorney.
