Jennifer Kerns, Washington Times/The Blaze & Kymone Freeman, Black Lives Matter DC/We Act Radio & Gianno Caldwell, Caldwell Strategic Consulting all join Thom.The DNC isn't just shutting out Hillary alternatives vis-a-vis debates. Take a listen to what a caller said on my radio show the other day about how his local DNC chapter is trying to shut out Bernie Sanders supporters.

Tonight’s politics panel talks the Republican’s awkwardness with the Pope’s visit, Ben Carson’s walking back of his Muslim President comment, and what Scott Walker’s exit from the presidential race means for the GOP. Thom discusses out of control drug prices and Bernie’s plan to lower them with the Campaign for America’s Future Richard Eskow, the latest Fukushima news with Beyond Nuclear’s Kevin Kamps, and in tonight’s Daily Take Thom discusses how the Peanut Corporation should’ve been given the corporate death penalty.

Economist Dr. Richard Wolff, Democracy At Work joins Thom. Alexis Tsipras' Syriza party in Greece got another electoral victory over the weekend. But with the right-wing Golden Dawn also gaining ground in the polls - does Syriza have the same popular mandate they had in January?

Emily Crockett, RH Reality Check, joins Thom. Two years after a government shutdown cost the American economy billions and billions of dollars - the nation's capital is once again hurtling towards - you guessed it - a government shutdown. And once again - the issue at stake is healthcare - in this case women's healthcare. Current funding for the government is set to expire on October 1st - next Thursday - but 31 Republican members of Congress have said they will refuse to vote for new funding bill unless it defunds Planned Parenthood.

Our nation is in the midst of a full-blown judicial crisis - and Senate Republicans are to blame.

Robert Kennedy Jr., Hudson Riverkeeper/Waterkeeper Alliance, joins Thom. Millions of tons of toxic mine waste spilled into the Animas River in Colorado last month. Now the question is - is this the case of government incompetence? Or a case of insufficient regulation?

And the very, very ugly! Jeffrey Lord! The CNN contributor doesn't have any idea what people find so offensive Trump's response to the question of "what are we going to do about Muslim's in America?" In fact - he doesn't find the question offensive at all apparently. Take a look

Rev. Barry W. Lynn, American United for Separation of Church and State/God and Government & Robert McCaw, Council on American Islamic Relations (C.A.I.R.) all join Thom. Donald Trump and Doctor Ben Carson stopped by "Meet The Press" - where they both worked hard to capture the Islamophobic vote in the Republican party.

Thom discusses Trump and Carson’s courting of the Islamophobic vote with CAIR’s Robert McCaw and author Rev. Barry Lynn, what the Syriza party’s reelection means for the EU and the world economy with economist Richard Wolff, and who’s to blame for the Animas River spill in Colorado with Waterkeeper Alliance’s Robert Kennedy, Jr. And in tonight’s Daily Take Thom discusses how Senate Republicans created a full blown judicial crisis.

Stewart Acuff, Organizer/Playing Bigger Than You Are & Medea Benjamin, CODEPINK/Global Exchange/Drone Warfare & Neil Sroka, Democracy for America all join Thom. Lawrence Norden, Brennan Center for Justice. Outdated and older voting machines are breaking down - leading to long lines that discourage voters.

Stewart Acuff, Organizer/Playing Bigger Than You Are & Medea Benjamin, CODEPINK/Global Exchange/Drone Warfare & Neil Sroka, Democracy for America all join Thom. President Obama smoked pot - Bill Clinton smoked but didn't inhale - George W. Bush and Jeb Bush both smoked pot. So - is marijuana a gateway drug to the White House? Is being elected president a side effect of using marijuana in college? And does that mean that Jeb is going to be our next president?

Actually - George W. Bush didn't keep us safe. In addtion to that whole 9/11 thing - More Americans died from terrorism under his watch than any other president since Reagan - and that doesn't even begin to to count all the people who died in his two stupid and needless wars.

. Another day, another warning sign that climate change could soon spin rapidly out of control. According to a new study out of Lund University in Sweden - the melting of arctic sea ice - which is now happening at an alarmingly fast rate - is increasing the release of methane into the atmosphere. So why is this such a big deal? Easy - Methane is one of the strongest of the natural greenhouse gases. It’s about 80 times more potent than CO2 - and while it may not get as much attention as its cousin CO2 - it certainly can do as much - if not more - damage to our planet. As my recent documentary "Last Hours" pointed out - a massive release of methane could produce a sudden global warming event that could lead to an extinction of species on a wide scale - including humans.

Tonight’s Progressive Roundtable discusses how Donald Trump did nothing after a supporter called Obama a Muslim, how Jeb thinks his brother kept us safe, the poor state of our country’s electronic voting machines, and whether smoking pot is the gateway to the presidency.

Brian Darling, Third Dimension Strategies & Ari Rabin-Havt, Host-The Agenda-SiriusXM Progress/The Benghazi Hoax & Neil McCabe, One America News Network join Thom Hartmann. what we didn’t hear from any of the candidates was any discussion about the REAL issues facing America right now. We didn’t hear anything about our record levels of wealth and income inequality. We didn’t hear anything about our failed trade policy and the Trans-Pacific Partnership that will sell the middle-class down the river. We didn’t hear anything about the $1 trillion in student loan debt that’s stunting economic growth and keeping young people from living out their dreams. And we didn’t hear anything about police violence and our nation’s ongoing struggle with racism and white supremacy. We also didn’t hear much about something that affects the entire world - climate change - and when we did - the conversation was so through the Republican looking glass it didn’t even matter that they were talking about it.
