Today I discuss how climate change is affecting Hurricane Harvey. I also cover how Donald Trump, and today's Republican party, share responsibility for making matters worse when it comes to climate change forcing natural disasters to become more dangerous and more frequent.

It seems like a simple, self help BS question. But the answer describes why wee are in the shape we are in our country. We do not believe in ourselves, our nation, or our future, and subsequently we are failing as a people, an economy and a nation. The answer. So stupid and easy. NO SHOWS THURSDAY OR FIRDAY as I'm on vacation unless another tragedy strikes.

'Racist' is the least bad thing that Joe Arpaio can be accurately called, he is responsible for the torture and death of multiple human beings in what he personally called his own "concentration camps."

Yet, Donald Trump pardoned him...in the middle of one of the worst natural disasters in recent American history, Hurricane Harvey.

Listen as I give the details that every American needs to know about the man that the President just unilaterally pardoned.
