Summary
John talks about the DOJ dropping charges against two immigrant men arrested and shot by ICE officers in Minneapolis last month after ZERO evidence backed up the agency’s charges. Now, two of the officers are under investigation for lying about the incident. John also discusses Trump revoking a landmark ruling saying greenhouse gasses actually DON'T endanger the people on this planet. Then, he talks about this topic with Jeremy Symons who is a veteran environmental policy strategist and clean-air expert with decades of experience shaping U.S. climate and public-health protections in and around the Environmental Protection Agency. His work focuses on how regulatory decisions translate into real-world consequences—especially for children, older adults, and communities living near highways, power plants, and industrial sites. Next, John welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider to chat about President's Day his book "The Presidents and the People: Five Leaders Who Threatened Democracy and the Citizens Who Fought to Defend It". Then lastly, TV's Frank Conniff joins the fun to joke with listeners about pop culture and life in Trumpland.
