Science In Action - Global climate inaction

This week’s IPCC report on the state of the world’s climate looks very much like their earlier reports on the subject. The document cautiously expresses a picture of a future with greater climate extremes. Activists are frustrated by the lack of action. We look at why the scientific message is often hampered by politics.

Fish could provide micronutrients to the world poor, but as we’ll hear this would need a major shift in commercial fishing practices globally.

The Daily Signal - #552: The Wage Gap Myth Debunked

The gender wage gap is all but assumed to be true in the media, pop culture, and our universities. But the truth is different from what you hear. In today’s episode, we feature an interview from our Problematic Women podcast between Lauren Evans and Heritage Foundation labor expert Rachel Greszler. In that interview, Lauren and Rachel unpack the myth of the wage gap and how it’s now being featured in a new Monopoly game—miseducating our kids. And, speaking of miseducation, a major doll company just released a new line of gender-neutral dolls.


We also cover these stories:


  • Transcript of Trump phone call shows no explicit quid pro quo, but raises questions
  • Democrats react, calling it "classic mob shakedown" and "a smoking gun"
  • Benjamin Netanyahu tapped to be Israeli prime minister again if he can form government
