On this show, we hear from attorneys and activists seeking justice for those among the 41 remaining prisoners at Guantanamo, who have been caged and tortured for more than a decade but not charged with any crime. Now Donald Trump says he wants to send more people to Guantanamo, people he describes as “bad dudes.” Headlines on Trump in Paris, women march on the NRA, rallying for affordable housing and Bernie Sanders endorses Ben Jealous in his bid to be the next governor of Maryland.
Voices: Aliya Hana Hussain, Luis E. Rumbaut, Lt. Colonel Thomas Sterling, Maha Hilal , Gerald Horne, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Ben Jealous, Tamika Mallory, Sen. Elizabeth Warren
