The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET.

Brad is first joined by Bob Deans, Director of Strategic Engagement at the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

The two discuss the damage that natural disasters are doing to the United States, all accelerated by man made climate change. They also breakdown Project 2025 and the environmental stakes in the presidential race.

Then, Kimberly Scott, Publisher of DemList, details the plans for the Democratic National Convention live from Chicago where it's taking place this week.

The NRDC works to safeguard the earth—its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends.

They combine the power of more than 3 million members and online activists with the expertise of some 700 scientists, lawyers, and other environmental specialists to confront the climate crisis, protect the planet's wildlife and wild places, and to ensure the rights of all people to clean air, clean water, and healthy communities.
