1) Robert Parry, author, investigative journalist and editor of ConsortiumNews.com, examines Hillary Clinton's embrace of GOP Neo-conservative supporters, some of whom like, John Negroponte, are architects of the Iraq War, the Reagan-era illegal war against Nicaragua and diversion of arms to Iran -- and other foreign policy disasters that he's investigated over the years.

2) People for the American Way Senior Research Analyst, Brian Tashman, discusses GOP Presidential nominee Donald Trump, and Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio's attendance and speeches given last week at the "Rediscovering God in America" conference that featured extreme anti-LGBTQ religious and conservative political activists.

3) Carminda Mac Lorin, co-coordinator of the World Social Forum that just concluded it's annual gathering in Montreal Canada, discusses the history of the WSF, what was accomplished in Montreal and the potential of the movement to coordinate and organize a progressive global agenda.

4) Lindsay Farrell, director of the Connecticut Working Families Party, talks about her party's five primary election victories last Tuesday, and the issues the WFP will be working on this year at the state legislature.
