D.R. Tucker joins Betsy to interview the author of a brilliant new column called
"GOP Stuck In A Conservative Wonderland". Michael Stafford is a Republican with some tough questions about his party's decline into extreme distortions of the facts, most notably in questioning the science of evolution and climate change. His insights are especially timely and valuable as he compares the surreality of this political moment to not so distant history.
Betsy talks with Jon Shenk, the Director of a fabulous new film, "The Island President" which documents President Nasheed's brave battle to wake the world up to the global threat of climate change before the Maldives, his island nation goes down. Jon Shenk also directed the moving film "Lost Boys of Sudan".
