Ted Cruz & Trump Have Come For the Muslims…

Zaid Jilani, The Intercept, joins Thom. President Obama says that calls by Republican presidential candidates to monitor Muslim communities in the U.S. are "un-American." But considering the fact that America's largest city surveilled its Muslims citizens for more than a decade after 9/11 - just how far outside the mainstream are these proposals?

Are the AZ Voting Problems A Dress Rehearsal for November?

America's Lawyer Mike Papantonio, Ring of Fire, joins Thom. The problems Tuesday stemmed from the fact that Maricopa County cut its polling places down from 200 to 60. Until the Supreme Court gutted the voting rights act in 2013, Arizona would have had to preclear this move with the federal government. With a fix to the voting rights act still in limbo in Congress, was Tuesday therefore night just a preview of what's to come? Isn't it time to have a national right to vote enshrined in the Constitution?

Is the Pepco-Exelon Merger A Bailout for the Nuclear Industry?

Kevin Kamps, Beyond Nuclear joins Thom. Pepco and Exelon are about to merge and create the biggest utility company in the country. But is this merger - which is being sold as a pro-consumer - actually just a glorified bailout for the nuclear industry?

Breaking Down Bernie’s Tax Plan

Richard Eskow, Bernie Sanders Campaign/The Zero Hour joins Thom. Right-wingers and corporate dems say Bernie Sanders' economic plans are a path to disaster and ruin. But what do actual economists say?

The New GOP GITMO Conspiracy

Sam Sacks, The District Sentinel joins Thom. Republicans in Congress have a new scare story they're using to oppose the closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison - the idea that leftists in latin america are going to work with freed detainees to plan attacks against America. Is this what passes for serious analysis in the Republican Congress these days?

Full Show 3/24/16: Our Voting Problems Are a National Disgrace

Thom discusses the disastrous election in Arizona with attorney and radio host Mike Papantonio, how Bernie’s tax Wall Street plan would generate $300 billion and create millions of jobs with the Campaign for America’s Future Richard Eskow, the latest idiotic fears about releasing Guantanamo detainees from congressional Republicans with The District Sentinel’s Sam Sacks, and what the Pepco-Exelon merger means for the anti-nuke movement with Beyond Nuclear’s Kevin Kamps.

The Racist War on Drugs Exposed

Horace Cooper, National Center for Public Policy Research & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Gianno Caldwell, Caldwell Strategic Consulting join Thom. A former Nixon administration official has admitted that the War on Drugs was all about throwing black people in jail.

Rumble - Why Did It Take Five Hours To Vote in AZ?

Horace Cooper, National Center for Public Policy Research & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & Gianno Caldwell, Caldwell Strategic Consulting join Thom. Last night's primaries in Arizona were a mess - with some voters waiting as much as 5 hours to cast their ballots and thousands being told they couldn't vote at all. So isn't it time we made it easier - not harder to vote? Let’s be clear - this is not what democracy looks like. It’s what voter suppression looks like. So isn’t time we enshrined an affirmative right to vote in the Constitution?

Religious Freedom vs Reproductive Rights

Danielle Blevins, Talk Media News Service, joins Thom. Obamacare's Birth control mandate is back before the Supreme Court. It’s been gutted before - but could Antonin Scalia's absence now mean that it stays intact?

No Backlash in Brussels Against Muslims - Like In America

Live from Brussels, Simone Del Rosario, RT America, talks to Thom. Belgium is reeling today after the worst terrorist attack in the history of that country. How close are authorities to capturing the one surviving suspect? And how do the Belgian people want their government to respond?

Mass Extinction Is Closer Than You Know

Climate change is real, of course, but two new scientific papers out this past week say that it's happening a hell of a lot faster, and in a more dangerous direction, than scientists were even considering as a worst-case scenario just a few years ago. We need a rapid worldwide shift away from fossil fuels now - not even a decade from now, but today - and if we don't get started, we, too, may go the way of the dinosaurs.

Full Show 3/23/16: Bernie Wins Huge In Idaho & Utah!

Tonight’s Rumble talks Bernie’s big wins in last night’s western primaries, the GOP extremism following the Brussels terrorist attack, and Paul Ryan’s call for respect amid the divisive GOP primary. Thom discusses the terrorist attack with RT Correspondent Simone Del Rosario live from Brussels, religious freedom vs. women’s rights with Talk Media News Service’s Danielle Blevins, and Thom responds to your questions and comments in tonight’s Your Take, My Take Live.

Politics Panel - Has the Media Determined the Democratic Winner?

Bryan Pruitt, RedState & Bridget Todd, Political Strategist & Hughey P. Newsome, Bold/Move-On-Up joins Thom. With a total of 149 Democratic delegates up for grabs in the West - Bernie Sanders is looking to continue his comeback tonight. But even if Bernie wins the night and starts paving a real road to victory - will the Mainstream Media notice? Isn't this election proving the role the media plays in shaping our elections?

Politics Panel - The Tea Party has Joined the Establishment

Bryan Pruitt, RedState & Bridget Todd, Political Strategist & Hughey P. Newsome, Bold/Move-On-Up joins Thom. Despite being a frequent critic of him and his policies - the Tea Party Nation has decided to "...endorse Paul Ryan for reelection to the House of Representatives and by extension, reelection as Speaker of the House of Representatives.” Doesn't this show how shallow the Tea Party's "anti-establishment" credentials always were?

Congressman Tim Ryan - Kasich Isn’t a “Compassionate Conservative"

Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH, 13th District) joins Thom. John Kasich is hoping that being the last "moderate" Republican in the race will help him score big in coming primary contests. But we'll be talking to Representative Tim Ryan about why Kasich is wrong to call himself a moderate - later in the program.
