The New York Times is reporting that Fox News is "contemplating life without" Beck at the end of this year when his contract expires.

Today's conversation with Great Minds is with Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich. Thon asks him how he originally got into politics and what he thinks about the Ohio and Wisconsin labor protests. Then, the Big Picture Rumble this week is with Alan Nathan, host of the Battle Line, democratic strategist Erikka Knuti and Kerry Pickett, editor and blogger of the water cooler column at the Washington Times. Thom covers the Wisconsin stalemate, unions and wealth inequality, taxing millionaires, consumer safety, why Wall Street banksters aren't in jail, Libya and birther legislation. Then Thom's daily take is on Supreme Court unequal protection.

US Rep. Dennis Kucinich has been a mayor - is currently a United States Congressman - and has run for President of the United States twice. As a servant of the people - he's spoken out FOR working families across our nation - and spoken out AGAINST foreign wars and corporate power.

Thom starts out the show talking with the Chair of the Wisconsin Democratic party Mike Tate, who is supporting the recall of some republican Senators there for supporting Walker's union-busting bill. Then Thom discusses how income inequality in the United States has skyrocketed as union membership has declined with the reporter and blogger for thinkprogress.org, Zaid Jilan. Later, Thom debates the president of Less Government, Seton Motley on republican plans to poison the public by blocking a consumer safety law. In the second part Thom talks about TSA and birthers. And finally, Thom's daily take on taxing the millionaires.
