We now have more evidence proving that the fossil fuel industry knew about global warming decades ago - and covered it up. On Wednesday - the D.C. based Center for International. Environmental Law - released a report that the American Petroleum Institute commissioned way back in the 1960s. That report - which was conducted with help of scientists from Stanford University - is shockingly accurate in its conclusions and predictions. It argues that by using fossil fuels: “…man is now engaged in a vast geophysical experiment with his environment, the earth… [And as a result] significant temperature changes are almost certain to occur by the year 2000.” So - can we sue the fossil industry just like we sued the tobacco industry? Joining Thom is Mike Papantonio - America’s Lawyer and Host of Ring of Fire Radio.

Thom discusses the new documents showing how the fossil fuel industry is more evil than we thought with attorney Mike Papantonio, how the big banks are bigger now than they were before the 2008 crash with radio host and activist Richard Eskow, whether the scientific community and the CDC are wrong about vaccines and autism with Dr. Andrew Wakefield & Del Bigtree, writers of the new movie “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe,” and the latest on updating a 30-year-old digital privacy law with The District Sentinel’s Sam Sacks.

Michael Brune, The Sierra Club, joins Thom. Peabody Energy - America's largest coal company - has declared bankruptcy - becoming just the latest coal company to do so. What’s behind this string of bankruptcies - and how could American taxpayers end up footing the bill for the fossil fuel industry's mistakes?

Cole Stangler, In These Times/International Business Times/Vice/New Republic, joins Thom. With a new endorsement for Oregon Senator Jeff Merkeley under his belt - Bernie Sanders took some time this morning to speak in front of striking Verizon workers. So - just how significant is it for a candidate like Sanders to address a picket line?

Scott Greer, The Daily Caller & Mike Lux, Democracy Partners/The Progressive Revolution: How The Best In America Came To Be & Crystal Wright, Conservative Commentator/RT America, all join Thom. North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory's "fix" to his state's anti-LGBT discrimination law isn't much of a fix. So why doesn't he do what scores of companies are demanding he do and repeal that hateful law?

Bryan Pruitt, RedState & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Hughey P. Newsome, Bold.global/Move-On-Up joins Thom. Porn website xhamster dot com is banning users from North Carolina from accessing its - um - content. The move is the latest example of corporate backlash to the Tar Heel state's new anti-LGBT discrimination law - which governor Pat McCrory signed into law last month

Bryan Pruitt, RedState & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Hughey P. Newsome, Bold.global/Move-On-Up joins Thom. It’s now been 40 since Wanniski first outlined the Two Santa Claus strategy - and while Democrats have never pulled the trigger - they’ve come very - very close to shooting Santa. Back in 2011 - for example - President Obama made big cuts to Social Security a major part of his failed Grand Bargain plan. But now the days of Democrats holding a gun to the head of their own Santa Claus might be ending. As the Huffington Post reports today - California Attorney General and Senate candidate Kamala Harris is one of a handful of Democrats running in tight races who are now using their opponents past support for cutting social security against them. It used to be considered good politics for Democrats to flirt with killing Santa. Now the opposite is true. This is good news for the Democratic Party - which always does best when it runs as the party of Santa Claus

Joe Madison, The Joe Madison Show/SiriusXM Urban View (ch.126) & Sarah Badawi, Progressive Change Campaign Committee(PCCC) join Thom.

But without a national, consitutional right to vote - can Republican voter suppression efforts really ever be stopped?
