Community activists in Toledo are taking on big polluters feeding poisonous algal blooms in Lake Erie- What other ways can Progressives work to save our earth from corporate greed?

• Thom asks when we'll overcome the wholesale ownership of our politicians by the wealthy that block the policies that most Americans want.

• Thom interviews community activist Tish O'Dell with the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund in Toledo- they've successfully had a majority of voters in their city agree that Lake Erie has rights of nature that should be respected. (www.CELDF.org)

• Thom's callers engage in a fascinating discussion of the state of the environment in response to the protection of Lake Erie. Should the pharma and fossil fuel corporations causing deaths and then declaring bankruptcy to avoid being held accountable? Will solar power save the earth?

• Thom checks in with Talk Media News to find out what's going on in the world - Luke Vargas has been watching our evolving Trump foreign policy with India, Turkey, and China.

• A scam warning from Thom.. taxing the stock market.. and Thom holds court with his callers on how Progressives should respond to Republican shenanigans. And an Idaho bill ending child marriage before age 16 was voted down by Republicans in the state house.
