great to be with you. wasn't it refreshing listening to anthony fauci earlier? science is back. science-based policy is now back. and we saw, as you just alluded to, president biden announced the boldest climate plan in history yesterday. so we are so close to finally seeing the actions that are necessary. but we still encounter obstacles. now, the old climate war was the effort by fossil fuel interests and those promoting their agenda to try to discredit the science, to discredit the scientists, to deny that climate change is real. well, that's not possible anymore because we can see the impacts playing out in realtime. it truly is a crisis. it is an emergency. and so what the forces of inaction, the inactivists as i call them in the book, they haven't given up. they're still trying to prevent our transition off fossil fuels towards renewable energy but they're using other tactics, trying to divide us, getting us fighting with each other, finger pointing over our individual lifestyle...

republicans like senators josh hawley of missouri, ron johnson of wisconsin and ted cruz of texas or mo brooks of alabama, matt gaetz of florida or even elise stefanic of new york. don't assume it can't happen. because at the grassroots level, republicans continue to be radicalized. what if instead of raffensperger, someone like representative marjorie taylor greene had been in charge of counting georgia's votes? this time, the system worked. we may not be so lucky the next time around. one in oregon suggesting that the capitol attack was a false flag to embarrass donald trump. that's an official statement from a republican party. so as you say, this is far from subsiding now that donald trump left office. it seems to be getting worse. .
