In his new film, The Welcome Table, Josh Fox has traded the point-and-shoot of his seminal Gasland for lush cinematography on five continents. But it ain’t some Discovery Channel travelogue. Fox has brilliantly melded the burning issues of immigration and climate change. Even if you just think global warming is a bunch of hot air (pun intended), this documentary will just knock you out.

This explosive interview between investigative journalist Greg Palast and KPFK Solartopia host Harvey Wasserman dives deep into the shocking hidden realities of nuclear power.

Palast has led investigations of multi-billion-dollar frauds in the nuclear power industry, while Wasserman, is an author, activist and expert on all things nuclear. Between them, the pair have insider knowledge on the industry going back decades, with Wasserman serving as a whistleblower in one of Palast’s most incendiary investigations.

During this not-to-be-missed conversation, the duo share sharp criticism of slapdash safety practices, inside info on industry cover-ups, and the staggering concealed economic costs behind reactor projects. From chaotic construction and flawed backup systems, to the disturbing facts belying the sanitized fiction released to the public in defense of disasters like Fukushima, the conversation challenges mainstream narratives and raises a bigger question: in a world of rapidly advancing renewable energy, is nuclear power not just risky—but fundamentally uncompetitive?

Dear Mr. Colbert, your take-down of Trump’s #2 at FEMA, Gregg Phillips, who claims he was teleported to a Waffle House was so hilarious I spit my milk out through my nose.

But I’m not laughing anymore. Mr. Colbert, Phillips may choose our next president. Here's how.

In one of my most elaborate undercover operations for BBC Newsnight, I got my hands on the secret plans for the invasion. Nope, not Trump's attack on Iran. It was 2004 and the plan was secretly drafted BEFORE George W. Bush invaded Iraq.

I’m only bringing up 20-year-old history to tell you that, while Bush’s hidden plan for the oil fields of Iraq evidenced greedy secret scheming to grab Iraq’s oil industry, at least we could say this: EVEN GEORGE BUSH HAD A PLAN.

So no, I have not uncovered Trump’s secret plans for the invasion of Iran, or his plan to protect the world’s oil supply, BECAUSE TRUMP HAS NO PLAN.

The only thing more evil than a secret plan is to have no plan at all.
