Rick opens the show with commentary on the right-wing fever swamp and the conflict entrepreneurs that profit from stoking the rage. Then we are joined by County Executive Lamont McClure, who is running for re-election against a Trumplican opponent who just threatened to remove a local school board by force. We close the first hour with Scott Paul of the Alliance for American Manufacturing for a discussion about America’s clean energy future, and what we must do to make it a reality.
