The Climate Deception Dossiers

Aaron Huertas, Union of Concerned Scientists, joins Thom. Thanks to a new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists - we know that the fossil fuel industry never believed the denial science that they've been funding for the last 30 years. The report shows that as early as 1981 - ExxonMobil was having internal discussions about the climate impacts of one particularly large extraction project. That's almost seven years before NASA scientist James Hansen testified about the threat of a warming world to Congress. And in 1995 - a memo circulated among companies that said that climate change is caused by burning their products - and that the relevant science is "well established and cannot be denied" So the industry knew that their actions were driving the planet to a crisis - and they did nothing to avoid it. And when scientists and the public cried out - they spread lies to cover their guilt. The simple fact is - we wouldn't be facing such a dire crisis if we had taken action when the companies first knew that burning fossil fuels drives climate change. But what happens now that we know that the companies lied to cover up their systematic abuse of our planet?

We Need To EXPAND Social Security - Here’s Why...

Nancy J. Altman, Social Security Works/Strengthen Social Security Coalition, joins Thom. Since its creation in 1935 - Social Security has been the bedrock of our social safety net and has kept tens of millions of retired and disabled Americans out of poverty. It's one of the most successful government programs in world - let alone American - history. But over the past few decades - Republicans and even some conservative Democrats - have convinced a big chunk of the public that Social Security is failing. Despite all the evidence saying that the program is doing just fine - they say that it's going bankrupt and that in order to save Social Security - we need to cut it. This is - of course - a lie. If anything - we actually need to EXPAND social security

We Have Proof of How Walker Would Run America

Brendan Fischer, The Center for Media and Democracy/ALEC Exposed, joins Thom. Walker is running as a Midwestern “everyman” - who doesn’t have a college degree, and who came from a humble background before becoming a public servant. But the fact that his biggest backers are Charles and David Koch negates all of that - and his policies in Wisconsin are the same failed policies of Reaganomics that have destroyed the American middle class over the last 30 years. It’s time to take a deeper look at Scott Walker’s “Everyman” routine - and to take a look at the real effect of his policies in Wisconsin.

The Good, the Bad and the Very, Very Hircinely Ugly! - TRUMP!

And the very, very ugly! Donald Trump! So far The Donald’s campaign has been sticking to a platform of anti-China trade policies and anti-immigrant nativism. But on Friday night - according to the LA Weekly - Trump told an audience that we should never have invaded Iraq. He continued his foray into reason by saying that we needed Iraq as a stable buffer against Iran in the region. And then his reason jumped the rails again - when he said that we should have invaded Mexico instead! Watch...
