Before we get to Hillary Clinton and the awful truth about her climate plan and climate change itself on today’s BradCast<\/i>, Bernie Sanders is now leading all the major Republicans<\/i> in national polling now.<\/p>\nBefore we get to Hillary Clinton and the awful truth about her climate plan and climate change itself on today’s BradCast<\/i>, Bernie Sanders is now leading all the major Republicans<\/i> in national polling now.<\/p>\n
That’s right, in head-to-head national match-ups between the independent U.S. Senator from Vermont and Jeb Bush, Scott Walker or even Donald Trump, Sanders wins the Presidency — if the election was held today, and those who wanted to vote got to vote (and got to have their votes counted as intended) — according to a new CNN\/USAToday\/Gallup poll<\/a>. <\/p>\n Nonetheless, the corporate media still loves to ignore Sanders. Though, thanks in part to the #BlackLivesMatter protesters that interrupted him during a progressive forum last week (the intra-progressive controversy we’ve been covering<\/a> over the past week), he was finally allowed to appear on Meet the Press<\/i><\/a> over the weekend. <\/p>\n Also, over the weekend, Trump continued to widen his lead against the rest of the Republican field and Hillary Clinton offered a tepid plan<\/a> on how she would begin to deal with climate change.<\/p>\n We speak on today’s show to David Roberts, the great environmental journalist from Vox.com<\/a> (formerly of Grist.org<\/a>), about Clinton’s plan and the awful truth about both her plan and everyone else’s<\/a>.<\/p>\n “It’s so polarized between the parties that Hillary can say anything she wants,” Roberts tells me about her plan to add half a billion solar panels to the nation’s grid by 2021. “But, as long as the House is in Republican hands they are foursquare against any of this — any clean energy, any efficiency, anything that restrains fossil fuel in any way…If we’re being honest with ourselves, what she’s capable of doing is what the Presidency can do without legislative help.”<\/p>\n Roberts is not optimistic about where the planet is headed, and holds scientists partially responsible for not being straight with the public about how bad things really are. He says “it’s still physically possible” to save ourselves from where we’re headed, “but it would mean the entire world shifting, basically, to a war footing in the next five years, and remaining on war footing for the next century. It’s possible, but do you see anything around you that indicates that’s going to happen? We’re not doing it. So I think that it’s worth at least saying, hey guys, we’re headed for the shit. At this point, we’re probably going to get mired in some really terrible stuff.”<\/p>\n Despite those thoughts, it’s actually an enlightening and entertaining<\/i> discussion with Roberts! Finally, to close things out today (and cheer you up even more!), the U.S. House passes a bill<\/a> to make it illegal for states and local governments to require consumer labeling of GMOs — because, ya know, Republicans “hate” Big Government and are all for “local control” of issues.<\/p>\n Download MP3<\/a> or listen online below…<\/i> <\/p>\n
