Thom Hartmann: Lee Fang is with us right now, with the Center for American Progress, ThinkProgress.org is their website. And Lee’s Twitter is @LHFang, Fang is spelled F-A-N-G. Lee, welcome back to the program.

Lee Fang: Hey Thom, good to be with you.

Republicans are very crafty in the ways they want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare.

My note to President Obama.

Mr. President - you are running out of time.

Thom Hartmann: First of all, let me give you the list of the polls. I’m going to run through all the names and then I’m going to run through the percentages, very quickly. Because it’s just like this blinding list. This is, I believe I originally saw this at DailyKos and the list itself is posted over at CapitalGainsAndGames.com on Bruce Bartlett’s blog.

Fox News doesn’t know jack about economics.

Imagine there's an industry that sells a product that kills 1200 people every single day.

Thom Hartmann: And greetings my friends, patriots, lovers of democracy, truth and justice, believers in peace, freedom and the American way, Thom Hartmann here with you. And Jumma Mubarak or Shabbat Shalom or TGIF or whatever it may be for you, that means it’s Friday which means it is Brunch with Bernie. Our first hour, Senator Bernie Sanders with our national town hall meeting taking your calls on pretty much any topic you want. Our telephone number 866-987-THOM. And also 866-745-2667.

Did you know Fox so-called News is now a socialist propaganda outfit?

I’m serious!

Thom Hartmann: So what’s the deal with Rick Perry bashing, other than the obvious. Actually at a press conference today, or a press, you know one of these meet and greet things, it wasn’t even a town hall, it was in a restaurant or something like that. He was eating food.

Republican front-runner for President Willard Mitt Romney is swimming in money today.
