Hughey P. Newsome, The Objective Citizen/Move-On-Up & Lee Camp, Redacted Tonight with Lee Camp on RT & Scott Greer, The Daily Caller all join Thom. The candidate's at last night's Republican debate didn't totally ignore one of the biggests issues facing America these days - income inequality. For example - Ted Cruz - brought up how great it is to be rich in America right now - and talked about how wages have stagnated in recent years. Of course - he blamed this all on Obama.

Kshama Sawant, Seattle City Council/Socialist Alternative joins Thom. Nikki Haley wasn't the only person to deliver a response to the State of the Union. Out in Seattle - city councilwoman Kshama Sawant - the first socialist elected to that body - delivered her own rebuttal - this one on behalf of her Socialist Alternative Party. In that speech - she said she was hopeful for the future of socialism in the union because of a growing "mood of resistance" - represented in part by the success of politicians like Bernie Sanders - another self-declared socialist.

Tim O'Brien, Levin Papantonio, joins Thom. According to recent scientific research - the chemical known as C-8 is now in the blood of 99.7 percent of Americans as well as in newborn human babies, breast milk, and umbilical cord blood. And that's really bad news - because C-8 has been connected with - among other things - rectal cancer - testicular cancer - swelling of the liver - and birth defects. So where did all this C-8 come from? Why is it so potent? And who is apparently responsible for poisoning the American people?

Thom discusses the real reason why the Clintons are attacking Bernie’s single-payer health care plan with Sanders campaign writer Richard Eskow and The Intercept’s Zaid Jilani, a preview of Sunday’s Democratic debate with new RT America host Ed Schultz, and if there’s any way to stop the TPP with Representative Alan Grayson.
