Today on Boston Public Radio:
Chuck Todd talked about the political impacts of climate change-induced severe weather, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ upcoming election and the latest in the Brett Favre welfare scandal. Todd is the moderator of “Meet The Press” on NBC, host of “Meet The Press Daily” on MSNBC and the political director for NBC News.
Then, we asked listeners if they’ve become more judgemental post-COVID.
Andrea Cabral discussed the latest in the Farve welfare scandal, Ginni Thomas’s potential role in the Jan. 6 hearing and new polls showing millions of Americans say they think use of force is justified to get former President Donald Trump back in power. Cabral is the former Suffolk County sheriff and secretary of public safety, and former CEO of the cannabis company Ascend.
JB Smoove talked about how he landed his “Curb Your Enthusiasm” role, and gave us a taste of his “Physical Therapy” tour. Smoove plays Leon Black on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and is performing his stand-up show “Physical Therapy” at the Wilbur Theatre Friday night.
Kevin Green & Frank Lowenstein from the global climate nonprofit Rare, which recently set up its first statewide initiative in Boston, told us about how tiny actions can make huge impacts on the environment. Green leads the Center for Behavior & the Environment at Rare. Lowenstien is the Senior Director of Rare.
Jon Gruber gave us his insights on the “non-delegation doctrine,” a philosophy that Supreme Court justices used in last spring’s case West Virginia v. EPA, and its wide-reaching implications for systems like health care. Gruber was instrumental in creating both the Massachusetts health care reform and the Affordable Care Act. His latest book is “Jump-Starting America: How Breakthrough Science Can Revive Economic Growth and the American Dream.”
We ended the show by asking listeners if they are taking small actions to help the environment.
