Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN, 5th District) joins Thom Hartmann. A new study of SuperPAC donations finds that just ten donors are responsible for one-third of the $202 million of SuperPAC money so far this election. We'll talk about who these oligarchs are - and what Congress can do to stop the billionaire takeover of the American Democracy.

Osama Bin Laden and Anders Breivik had similar goals. They hoped their actions would drive the United States and Norway into a fear-driven frenzy - that once confronted with terror, then our governments and people would react with desperation and actually become as angry and evil and murderous as were Bin Laden and Breivik. They hoped that their acts of terrorism against the United States and Norway would give them exactly what they needed - a violent, warlike reaction that they could point to as justification to wage more violence against Americans and Norwegians. But so far - only one of those two men actually succeeded. And while Bin Laden may be dead and at the bottom of the sea - he died knowing that George Bush did exactly what he wanted. On the other hand, Norwegian terrorist Breivik is today hearing the songs of a triumphant population - knowing he failed in his mission to bring fear to the people of Norway. It's time for us to do a lot more singing and a lot less bombing...

Stephen Zarlenga, American Monetary Institute joins Thom Hartmann. The Federal Reserve came out with it's new forecast for the American economy showing that a full recovery is still years away. But there could be another way to fast-track the economic recovery - even if it means a fundamental transformation of the Federal Reserve itself

Thom talks with Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Keith Ellison on Super PACs, the Violence Against Women Act and the Foreclosure Crisis. Also discussed: whether the government is doing enough to protect us from mad cow disease, what ending the fed would actually mean to our economy and in tonight's "Daily Take" Thom suggests Americans should follow the Norwegians and do a lot more singing and a lot less bombing in response to terrorism and fear.

Thom discusses the student loan crisis that's effecting millions of Americans and our entire economy. Tonight's "Lone Liberal Rumble" panels debates immigration, the BP oil spill and who will control the House of Representatives in 2013. In tonight's "Daily Take" Thom wonders if we'd be safe from mad cow disease in a Libertarian utopia.

Officials are saying a cow found in California with Mad Cow disease is just an isolated incident - and nothing to worry about. But if some in government had their way - this wouldn't be just one incident - it would be an epidemic - killing thousands of Americans. I'll tell you why in tonight's Daily Take.
