Chicago Meetup Audio, Ralph Reed and Upcoming Events
Audio from the Chicago meetup at Reggie's Bar is played, featuring various producers and the server. John Dvorak finally remembers the name "Ralph Reed" as the Christian Coalition leader he was trying to recall earlier. The segment concludes with a list of upcoming meetups in Philadelphia, Coeur d'Alene, and Raleigh.
Ralph Reed appears on Bill Maher's "Overtime" to argue that global mean surface temperatures have not increased since 2000, citing NOAA data. Bill Maher and Anthony Weiner dismiss Reed's claims, with Maher calling the statistics "bullshit." The hosts analyze the exchange as an example of the highly polarized and emotional nature of the climate debate.
Former Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed returns to the media spotlight as a consultant, providing a list of economic talking points against the Obama administration. He focuses on unemployment rates remaining above 8%, the doubling of the deficit, and the looming "fiscal cliff."
