The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET.
Brad is first joined by Bob Deans, Director of Strategic Engagement at the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
The two detail the potentially historic storm that is currently ravaging California with mudslides, floods and loss of power.
They also examine public attitudes on climate change, President Biden's move to pause approvals for pending and future applications to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) from new projects, and a new study revealing that Canadian tar sands pollution is up to 6,300% higher than reported.
Then, John Bennett, Editor at Large at Congressional Quarterly and Roll Call, previews right wing hatred of Taylor Swift ahead of the Superbowl.
He and Brad also discuss whether improved economic conditions can help President Biden's re-election prospects, funding for Ukraine and Israel, the bipartisan immigration deal that passed the Senate, and more.
