There should be no debate today. Anyone that doesn't think AR 15s should be banned by Sundown is an idiot wrapping himself in a Amendment to a Document they've never read. THere's a lot of coddling, of tolerating, why? Listen today at 11am at reallykarel.com or anytime.

U.S. intelligence agencies contradict the Trump Administration on climate risks; ExxonMobil counter-sues against climate change lawsuits; Trump repeals Obama-era methane rule; Broadcast news failing to inform the public about the real-life impacts of climate change; PLUS: The Queen of England has had it with single-use plastic waste... All that and more in today's Green News Report!
