Jeffrey M. Smith, Institute For Responsible Technology/Seeds of Deception/Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives joins Thom. Only a few Genetically Modified Organisms are proven safe under European Law. But in America - it's nearly impossible to know what parts of your meal were made in a lab. So why does America let corporations tell us what is and isn't safe to eat?

Mark Huelsman, Demos, joins Thom. It's harder than ever to get an education in America without going deep into debt. College costs have grown faster than inflation or family incomes over the last 50 years - and students have had to borrow more and more to get any sort of collegiate education. But the problem of student debt has an overriding socio-economic component - according to a new report from Demos.

Thom discusses the GOP’s continued war on women’s rights with Planned Parenthood’s Cecile Richards and the racial and class bias behind student borrowing with Demos’ Mark Huelsman. Tonight’s Politics Panel talks Bernie Sanders’ announcement rally from Burlington, VT, Bernie’s call for a Wall Street transaction tax, and Jeb Bush’s defense of the Patriot Act. In tonight’s Daily Take Thom discusses how capitalism could end all life on earth.

Tonight Thom talks with America’s Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, about the dangers of allowing President Obama and any future US President fast track authority on trade deals without meaningful debate or filibusters. The Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) bill, passed today in the Senate, now heads to the House for a vote. Then Thom talks with Doug Hughes, the gyrocopter pilot, about his political reasons for landing on the Capitol Hill front lawn on April 15. Thom also talks with Rachel Rye Butler, Democracy Organizer for Greenpeace USA, about why her organization is getting involved in Hughes’ case. Then in tonight’s Conversations with Great Minds, Thom talks with former Senator and Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell about his personal life, political career and his important role in the Good Friday Agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland.
