Thom Hartmann's crazy alert

David Selig, Conservative Commentator joins Thom Hartmann. Everyone knows Republicans only care about millionaires and billionaires. So what happens when millionaires and billionares ask for their taxes to go up?

Karl Frisch of Bullfight Strategies & Charlie Fink, Former AOL Executive. Millionaires and billionaires are descending on a place where they're usually met with open arms...Capitol Hill.

Anna Lekas Miller, Alternet & Sarah Jaffe, Alternet & JA Myerson, Truthout joins Thom Hartmann. In the middle of night - the Occupy Wall Street's homebase was cleared and trashed by hundreds of riot gear-clad police officers. So what happens now - and what's with the media blackout during last night's crackdown?

Thom talks about how some of the 99% Occupy Protestors across the nation are relocating their camp outs to front lawns in hopes of trying to save their homes from foreclosure.

Rubert Murdoch's "New York Post" accuses Occupy Wall Street of hurting local businesses. But what hurts local businesses even more? What's a reasonable price to pay to ensure that the bankster 1% doesn't destroy our economy again? In my Daily Take - I'll tell you why whatever Occupy Wall Street costs - it's well worth it

Makana. The Hawaiian guitarist landed a gig playing at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Honolulu over the weekend. And realizing he was in room full of world leaders - including President Obama - and elite business interests - Makana didn't let the opportunity go to waste. The Bad! Michele "Are you hypnotized" Bachmann. In this weekend's Republican debate - Bachmann urged the United States to be more like China. And the very, very ugly...Gary Boisclair. Boisclaire is running against Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison from Minnesota. Congressman Ellison is a Muslim - so Boisclare cut a campaign ad drenched in so much Islamohpobia and hate that even YouTube won't play it - saying that it violates their "policy on shocking and disgusting content."

Thom Hartmann's crazy alert

Amanda Beadle, Think Progress.org joins Thom Hartmann. Several lower courts have had their turn - now - it's the Supreme Court's turn to rule on Obamacare. The high court just announced that it will hear five hours of oral argument early next year - likely around March - to determine the constitutionality of President Obama's Affordable Care Act. But how might five Conservatives - and four openly partisan Republicans - on the high court weigh in? One thing is for sure - our nation can't make it much longer without true healthcare reform. And by that - I mean a single payer system. The State of Vermont is on its way to enacting such a system - and so too is Montana. Let's hope other states follow suit - and everyone soon has access to Medicare Part E - Medicare for everyone.
