They discuss the deadly heat that has been induced by climate change, as well as how it helped to supercharge the deadly 'fire-hurricane' in Maui, Hawaii.

Then, noted Economist, Dr. Rob Shapiro, joins Brad to breakdown new economic data, which points to 'Bidenomics' beating economists' predictions.

Dr. Shapiro also discusses his latest blog, titled, "Oops! Ron DeSantis’s Economic Program and Critique Make the Case…for Bidenomics."
