Sarah Lazare, Alternet, joins Thom. There has been a massive outcry for gun control in the aftermath of Orlando- and at least five gun control bills have been brought forward in Congress. But there's also been a massive push in support of retaliatory military escalation against ISIL and a massive crackdown on Muslim-American communities - based solely on the fact that the shooter - Omar Mateen - swore allegiance to the terrorist group during a 9-1-1 call during the attack. Donald Trump and other Republicans immediately condemned "Radical Islamic Terrorism" for the attack - despite the fact that FBI director James Comey and CIA Director James Brennan have both said that there is no evidence of ties between Mateen and ISIL Unfortunately - the mainstream media have let politicians and candidates call for military escalation without clarifying that Mateen's ties to ISIL are unverified.

Thom discusses the Democratic gun control sit-in with The Intercept’s Zaid Jilani, the Brexit vote with economist Eamonn Fingleton and the International Business Times’ Roland Jones, and all the lies and half-truths Trump told in his speech yesterday with former Congressman Bob Ney. In tonight’s Daily Take Thom discusses what happened to California’s economy after raising taxes and what happened to Kansas’ after lowering them.

Dr. Mark Weisbrot, Center for Economic and Policy Research (C.E.P.R.)/Just Foreign Policy/FAILED: What the "Experts" Got Wrong about the Global Economy joins Thom. Venezuela is in the midst of one of the worst economic crises in that nation's history. Who's to blame - the country's socialist president - Nicolas Maduro - or the elites who want him overthrown?

Josh Fox, How To Let Go Of The World & Love All the Things Climate Can’t Change/Gasland 1 & 2 joins Thom. For tonight's Green Report - we head to the American Southwest - which is now in the midst of a record-breaking heat wave. The effects of this heatwave have been brutal and widespread. As temperatures have soared into the triple digits - 4 hikers have died in the Arizona wilderness - and wildfires have engulfed parts of Southern California. Meanwhile - a flight headed to Phoenix from Houston actually had to turn around and fly home after searing 100 degree heat made it too dangerous to land. This is what living with climate change feels like - a constant barrage of terrifying news about severe weather and its effect on our society. What should we do in the face of this news? Curl into a ball and cry? Or face the challenge head on? The search for answers to these questions is the subject of a new documentary by Gasland Director Josh Fox. It's called - "How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can’t Change.” - and it premieres this Monday, June 27 on HBO.
