Today on The BradCast<\/i><\/a>…NJ Gov. Chris Christie is officially in! He’s running for the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination with the slogan: “Telling Like It Is”.<\/p>\n

But was he telling it like it was when he secretly snuck out of New Jersey in 2011 to secretly give the keynote address at the Koch Brothers secret billionaire summit in Vail, Colorado, as we reported exclusively here at BRAD BLOG<\/a> and at Mother Jones<\/i><\/a> that year?<\/p>\n

We’ll tell you the real truth that Christie didn’t and won’t. And we’ll play a bit of the secret audio tapes of Christie and David Koch (calling him “my kind of guy”), that we’d obtained and published at the time. (Read\/listen to all the Koch Tapes stories, with audio and transcript, right here: BradBlog.com\/KochTapes<\/a><\/i>)<\/p>\n

Also, wingnuts – from Cruz to O’Reilly to Huckabee and beyond — melt down following last week’s Supreme Court rulings on marriage and “Obamacare”. After picking such stupid fights in the first place, what would you expect? We enjoy laughing at them.<\/p>\n

Then, we’re joined by attorney Michael B. Gerrard, director of Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law<\/a>, to discuss yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling striking down the EPA’s rule limiting mercury and other pollutants from coal-fired power plants (he explains a silver lining there), and the arguably even bigger news<\/a> out of the Netherlands last week, where a court responded to a citizen lawsuit by ordering the Dutch government<\/a> to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n

“I would say this is the most important decision on climate change law outside of the United States ever issued,” Gerrard explains about the first-of-its-kind, landmark ruling. “Assuming that it stands, it is an extremely important decision.”<\/p>\n

Finally today, a bit of breaking news out of Cuba and then Desi Doyen with the latest Green News Report<\/i><\/a> on all of the above and more…<\/p>\n
