b"Encore: Original airdate 8/12/2022. On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 Two huge, historic, blockbuster news events unfolded on Friday. A federal judge unsealed the warrant issued to the FBI and Justice Department finding 'probable cause' to search disgraced former President Donald Trump's Florida residence for classified documents that he stole from the White House. The warrant reveals that Trump is under federal criminal investigation for obstruction of justice, unlawful removal of government records, and alleged violations of the Espionage Act.\\xa0 Several sets of documents were marked 'TopSecret/SCI' for Sensitive Compartmented Information, the highest level of classification, but it is unclear if any of the documents relate to nuclear weapons secrets. Also today: Democrats in the US House passed the Inflation Reduction Act, the landmark climate, healthcare, and tax reform bill, with zero Republican votes. Once signed by President Biden, the law will direct $370 billion in investments to combat climate change (the largest such single investment in history by any nation), rebuild the U.S. manufacturing sector, reduce pollution, and transition the nation to clean energy.\\xa0 Environmental journalist DAVID ROBERTS, publisher of the Volts newsletter, explains why the new law is likely to be a game changer in the fight to mitigate dangerous man-made climate change, and the key mechanisms by which it will reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by roughly 40 percent by 2030. Roberts addresses the well-founded criticisms of the bill, including its giveaways to the fossil fuel industry, and why, on balance, it is likely to have a 'transformative' positive effect on U.S. politics, the economy, and the multi-generational fight to solve climate change."
