Radical 'Green' Goals, America's Deep Pessimism, Record Drug Use & Drinking

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. After a quick GOP debate preview, Scot and Greg tackle three heavy issues. First, they highlight a progressive cities climate group that admits it wants to end meat and dairy consumption and private vehicle ownership - preferably by the end of this decade. They also want drastic reductions in clothes purchases and air travel, and 14 U.S. cities have already signed on to this global initiative. They also dissect a new poll showing 56 percent of Republicans and 20 percent of Democrats think our nation is in danger of failing and discuss why that's the case. Finally, they shudder at a new report from the University of Michigan showing huge increases in binge drinking and marijuana use among Americans aged 35-50. And the numbers among younger adults is pretty bad too.Timestamps:0:58 - Previewing Wednesday's GOP presidential debate3:11 - New global progressive cities climate group admits radical 'green' goals on meat and dairy consumption, private vehicle ownership and much more.10:42 - New York Times poll shows 37 percent of Americans and 56 percent of Republicans think the U.S. is in danger of failing.18:20 - University of Michigan survey shows record binge drinking and marijuana use among Americans aged 35-50.
