From Climate to Culture Wars in One Hour

The Peter Boyles Show - MARCH 21, 2026 HOUR 2:  Hour 2 mixes light local chatter with heavy political debate. After briefly promoting a Colorado motorcycle show, the conversation turns to Dr. Brian Joondeph’s new EPA advisory role, where he argues environmental policy should balance cost with what he sees as uncertain climate science. The hosts frame climate change skepticism alongside broader claims that environmentalism functions like a belief system, tying it into a wider discussion about faith, culture, and political division. The most engaging segment is a back-and-forth with a caller who challenges that skepticism, arguing modern data clearly shows human-driven climate change and pushing for practical solutions. The hosts counter with uncertainty, global factors, and cost concerns, while also touching on future energy innovation. The hour ends with quick pivots to AI in medicine and U.S. strategy toward Iran, keeping the tone fast-moving and debate-driven.   *The opinions expressed by the hosts and guests on this program are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Salem Media Group, its management, employees, affiliates, or advertisers.
