Andrew Klaven, author & screenwriter joins Thom Hartmann. The number one movie at the box office this week is "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" - a prequal to the Planet of the Apes movie franchise from the late 1970's. Or - as Fox News described it - a Trojan horse for leftist PETA ideology. Right - that's exactly how liberals think. And guess what the number two movie is at the box office this week? THE SMURFS! Smurfs are blue - Democrats are blue - this must be another liberal propaganda film right? Well my guest apparently thinks so.

Daniel Halper, Weekly Standard & Jamie Weinstein, Daily Caller join Thom Hartmann on the S&P, Wisconsin, Gang of 12 & Bang Bang goes the Wang Wang.

The 'Arab Spring' has given way to the 'European Summer', as London police try to gain ground against a young group of protesters angry at the UK government. Thom talks to Victoria Jones, International Correspondent at Talk Radio News, about how this scenario can very well play out in the US. Then it's all about the jobs! While President Obama tries to put America back on stable financial ground, his loudest critics keep reminding him to focus on job creation and not austerity measures. Plus it's judgment day in Wisconsin where six Republican state senators could be out of jobs. That's if voters can see past corporate dollars from billionaire donors. Then more lessons learned from the Fukushima nuclear disaster. A new scathing report indicates Japanese government officials ignored high radiation levels from the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Thom explains why energy should be considered part of the commons such as food, water and education in order to avoid disastrous situations like Fukushima.

The Japanese government is now being blamed for ignoring the actual path of radiation following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Why hide the truth? The answer and why we need to kick corporations out of the business of managing our energy needs.
