It's the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.

Stand up, stand up.

You've been sitting way too long.

Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. My name is Steve Scrova, along with my co-host David Feldman. Hello David.

Hello everybody. And the man of the hour, Ralph Nader, Hello, everybody.

You'll remember this show, for sure.

Oh, yes, yes, and for a lot of reasons.

And I'm going to start by telling you that in Florida, coastal flooding is becoming more and more frequent.

Severe floods that used to be referred to as 100-year floods are becoming every few year floods.

Florida is already seeing the devastation of climate change and their Republican

lawmakers are changing their tune on environmental policy and response. Republican

Governor Ron DeSantis even appointed a chief science officer. This may seem like a small change but in a party

that is long shied away from fixing the climate crisis this is a big step and our first

and only guest today will be another Republican who has also changed his mind on the climate crisis.

We will be joined by Polster and Wordsmith Frank Luntz.

In 2001, Mr. Luntz helped President George W Bush reframe global warming as the less scary sounding climate change, which I never knew that's how that came about.

And he encouraged Republican leaders to emphasize a lack of scientific certainty around climate change. But since then, Mr. Luntz has changed his mind. He is now working to reframe the climate crisis as a nonpartisan issue and something Republicans care about changing.

So we're going to find out whether that's all true or not.

As always we'll take a short break and check in with our corporate crime reporter Russell Mokiber.

And if we have some time left over, we'll try to answer some listening questions.

But first, let's hear about the importance of language in changing hearts and minds.

David?
