Hartmann: The Good, The Bad, and the Very Very Ghoulishly ugly

David Cameron, Ann Coulter, Crockett Keller

Hartmann: "Everything You Know is Wrong...about Halloween?!"

Dr. Stephen Larsen, author, Fire in the Mind: The Life of Joseph Campbell, joins Thom Hartmann. Tonight millions of little witches, goblins and ghosts will haunt the streets in search of sweet treats...But do you know what this Halloween tradition is really about? Why everything you "think" you know may be in fact wrong!

Hartmann: Boehner...The Price in Right for a Nuclear Plant in OH

Kevin Kamps, Beyond Nuclear joins Thom Hartmann. Ohio is about to get more nuclear power plants. Apparently, Speaker of the House John Boehner hasn't learned anything from the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan earlier this year. He also hasn't learned anything from his own Party's outrage over the manufactured "Solyndra scandal." You know - the so-called scandal in which Boehner said, "For the federal government to be out there picking one company over another, one type of energy source over another, I think is wrong." Only a few weeks after saying that - Boehner is now picking one company over another, and one energy source over another. He's pushing for a $2 billion loan guarantee from the Department of Energy for a new nuclear plant in Ohio. Of course - the company seeking the loan is USEC incorporated - which has just so happened to give $10000 in campaign contributions to Boehner since last year. I guess the price is right. Maybe that's why Boehner always appears to be "glowing."

Hartmann: Does a zygote have the same rights as a person?

Teisha Powell, conservative commentator/attorney joins Thom Hartmann. A question of personhood has made it on to the ballot. Unfortunately...we're not talking about corporate personhood - we're talking about fetal personhood. In a position about controlling the lives of women on which both the Taliban and fundamentalists in the Catholic Church agree, the ultra-religious right has a new tactic to ban everything from abortion - to birth control - to in-vitro fertilization. Next month - voters will hit the polls in Mississippi to decided whether or not personhood rights should be granted to a cluster of cells right after fertilization. If the ballot measures passes - as most observers think it will - then a zygote will have the same rights as the woman carrying it. Similar ballot measures efforts are currently underway in Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida and a slew of other states. So what can of worms can such a redefinition of personhood open?

Hartmann: Meet the 0.01 Percent...War Profiteers

Derrick Crowe, Brave New Foundation joins Thom Hartmann. Meet the top one-one hundredth of one percent - America's war profiteers who are making enormous bucks hurtling our nation into one war after another. The Brave New Foundation has just launched a new campaign to expose the one-one hundredth of one percenters in American.

Hartmann: OWS vs. Koch-ville

The Occupy Wall Street movement isn't just about the 1% versus the 99% - it's about what type of society we really want to live in.

Hartmann: Has OWS caused Republicans to talk about inequality?

Anthony Holm, Republican Strategist joins Thom Hartmann. A citywide strike is scheduled for Wednesday, November 2nd - when patriots plan to march to the Port of Oakland - the nation's fifth busiest port - and shut it down. Occupy Oakland is encouraging other occupations around the country to promote similar actions in their respective cities. So with a nationwide strike looking like it's the next step in the Occupy Wall Street movement - isn't is becoming harder and harder for our lawmakers - in particular Republican lawmakers - to ignore average American patriots who make up the 99% movement and their issues of income inequality and the theft of America by banksters?

Full Show - 10/28/11. Conversations with Great Minds and Weekly Rumble

Author and leading voice for economic and social change, David Korten joins Thom for "Conversations with Great Minds". Later, Thom debates the issue of Occupy Wall Street, the latest developments in the GOP presidential race and the Republicans refusal to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans in the Weekly Rumble.

Hartmann: 1% - It's not about your bank account but your patriotism

The bankster 1% in Chicago had a little message they wanted to get out to the 99% movement camped out in the streets below. So someone at the Chicago Board of Trade poured leaflets out of the window - to rain down on the demonstrators below. The leaflets read "We are Wall Street, it is our jobs to make money...Go ahead and continue to take us down, but you're only going to hurt yourselves. What's going to happen when we can't find jobs on the Street anymore? Guess what: We're going to take yours." As we all know today - that's not a threat...it's a promise - Wall Street has never had a problem taking what's not theirs. Whether it was the trillions they took from the economy when they ran their housing bubble scheme - or the trillions more they took from the taxpayers when they demanded a bailout - Wall Street just churns other people's money and skims their vig off the top. And they've been doing it in a pretty outrageous way - what once was considered both an immoral and even illegal way - for the 30 years since Reagan stopped enforcing the Sherman Anti-Trust act, leading to an explosion on Wall Street of what was then called M&A or Mergers and Acquisitions business.

Hartmann: The Big Picture Rumble - OWS, The Flat Tax & The Patriot Act

Vince Coglianese, Daily Caller, Ian Millhiser, Center for American Progress and Derek Hunter, Townhall all join Thom Hartmann.

Hartmann: Conversations with Great Minds - David Korten, The Great Turning. P2

Full Show - 10/27/11. Roommate of Injured Occupy Oakland War Vet Speaks Out

The roommate of Scott Olsen, the war veteran who made national headlines after being injured by police in the Occupy Oakland Protest speaks out to Thom about Olsen's current condition.

Hartmann: Have Democrats not learned their lesson yet?

Democrats need to take a good, long look in the mirror - because they've forgotten just who the heck they are. Yesterday - the 6 Democrats on the Gang of 12 Super Committee introduced their first proposal - as in their first offer - their starting point heading into negotiations with Republicans over the next month. And in it - they propose cutting $400 billion from Medicare. That's a $400 billion cut from Medicare - the program Democrats created - and fought hard for against Republicans like Ronald Reagan, who even voiced a recording heard by millions of Americans suggesting that Medicare would put us on the road to a Soviet style of socialism. That's a $400 billion cut from Medicare - a program that 78% of Americans want left alone! And that's a $400 billion cut from Medicare that's only going to get worse because - again - this is the first offer on the table from Democrats - so once Republicans start negotiating - then that number is going to get bigger, and bigger, and bigger. Why on earth would Democrats put their second-most prized creation on the table for sacrifice - when everyone knows Republicans aren't going to compromise on raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires no matter what Democrats offer up? Have Democrats not learned their lesson yet?

Hartmann: Exposed...out of state corporate $ flood Ohio's SB-5 election
