John Deans, Greenpeace, joins Thom Hartmann. Are the Koch brothers playing into the hands of terrorists? According to a new Greenpeace report - the Koch’s have spent huge sums of money lobbying against legislation that requires greater security at chemical plants prone to terrorist attacks. Currently - thousands of chemical facilities across America are putting more than 100 million people at risk if terrorists were to target those facilities. Koch industries and its subsidiaries run 57 of those chemical plants putting 4.4 million Americans in harm's way. And while countless environmental, labor, and health organizations are pushing for legislation that requires companies to beef up their security - the Koch’s are quietly trying to defeat those efforts. That’s because they know more money spent on security means less money in profits. So how are they getting away with this? And shouldn't profits come second to saving American lives?

1. Not only are the Koch Bros playing in to the hands of terrorists...

They are also funding the TEA-orrists (which gave us the downgrade) and funding junk science to deny Global Warming endangering people, the planet, and our future.
