In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Microsoft founder Bill Gates is calling for a change in the fight against climate change by shifting the focus away from reducing carbon emissions to fighting poverty and preventing disease and hunger. In an essay published Monday, Gates, who has long pushed for policies to limit the rise in temperatures, said resources should be diverted to improve life in warming parts of the world and improving the lives of people there.  Also the decades long "green" narrative and climate change rhetoric is losing its luster, NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani already faces accusations of voter fraud, and a new poll reveals 70% of voters think the Democratic party is out of control.
