b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 New polling finds that a majority of Americans across all political parties finally say the climate crisis is of 'high importance' to them. The U.S. still has a chance to achieve President Biden's pledge to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, despite corrupt, coal-state Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin's demands to remove key climate policies from Biden's Build Back Better budget bill. But the already-long odds could get longer if Manchin succeeds in cutting another important climate provision -- a tax on the oil and gas industry's methane leaks. For a second time, the Biden White House has denied disgraced previous president Donald Trump's attempt to invoke executive privilege to prevent the release of more Trump-era documents regarding the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection. New details are emerging about the so-called 'war room' effort carried out by Trump cronies at the historic Willard Hotel prior to the attack on the Capitol. New documents show at least seven Republican representatives participated in planning the rallies that led to the assault, leading some House Democrats to call for their expulsion from Congress. Attorney KEITH BARBER explains a long-standing federal law that makes it a crime to attempt to defraud the federal government in any deceptive way, and how it applies to the Jan. 6 co-conspirators and Trump in their efforts to steal the 2020 election through deception and fraud. Barber also details actions that the Jan. 6 Select Committee and the Justice Department can take to enforce the law. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'"
