  • Fact checking BADLY needed

    The episode on the EOs is really one of the most ridiculous pieces I’ve heard on the transition. So poorly researched. Both the D and the R seem completely unaware of the ramifications and are blatantly incorrect. For example, that’s not how impoundment works. And the supposed pause is not 90 days. Do your research!!!!

  • Not honest dialogue

    Hard to listen to a conservative viewpoint that doesn’t believe in climate change and is actively working to hinder the energy transition. I think listening to both sides is important when both sides are honest about coming up with solutions. Unfortunately this fails to achieve that.

  • How do we overcome disinformation?

    How can we find common ground with people bombarded with so much disinformation? Trump has spent the better part of the last ten years undermining our scientists, medical professionals, journalists, teachers, our justice department and courts.

    He has lied incessantly. And now no one believes anything, and there are no agreed upon facts for anyone to find common ground.

    And in this free for all, where everyone just believes what they want to believe, Trump puts up an incomprehensible front, a... more

  • No thanks

    Great to hear that the overly confident Republican rolled their eyes at the suffering and, in many cases deaths, of people living in environmental justice communities, with the host doing absolutely nothing about it.

  • Giving the republican pundit a pass

    It’s so sad that no matter where we go for political informed opinion and hopefully fact based reporting we run into bipartisan panels not unlike this one that give a pass to the republican who uses disinformation, negative vibe rhetoric and “the other side does it too so why are you picking on trump” nonsense. There needs to pushback on Emily’s nonsense rather than allowing her the last word. Her lies of omission and just downright lies, dismissive language and middling rhetoric left unchecked ... more
