1) Dr. John Gartner, a prominent psychotherapist, author and founder of the group Duty to Warn, founded in 2017 by mental health professionals and laypeople to warn the community-at-large of impending danger of Donald Trump's presidency, shares his concerns about President Trump's deteriorating mental health as he nears the end of his first year in his 2nd term in the White House. He'll also address the cult-like devotion Trump continues to command from millions of Americans.

2) Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works talks about the U.S. healthcare crisis, where Donald Trump and the GOP controlled Congress have refused to restore Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies, that if not approved will cause many of the 24 million ACA recipients to see their monthly insurance premiums double or triple, resulting in millions losing their coverage. He'll also discuss long term solutions to America's broken health care system.

3) Dr. Robert Steinbrook, Director Health Research Group Public Citizen discusses his views on the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice vote last week changing CDC's recommendations for administering the hepatitis B vaccine to infants, major Trump administration and HHS Sec. RFK Jr's cuts to research on cancer, Alzheimer's and other chronic diseases, as well as general administration threats to public health.

4) Eric Ross, a PhD candidate in the History Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, discusses the rising tensions and violence directed by the Trump regime targeting Venezuela, and his recent article, "The Trump Corollary: U.S. Imperialism in Latin America from the Monroe Doctrine to Maduro," with a view to better understanding the current crisis in the context of the long history of U.S. military intervention in Latin America.
