In this week’s episode of “Informed Rant,” host Joshua Scheer first sits down with Greg Dotson, the vice president of energy policy at the Center for American Progress. The two discuss Donald Trump’s proposed choice to head the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, and how Pruitt’s stance on climate change will affect U.S. environmental policy.

Next, Scheer speaks with Anthony Carnevale, research professor and director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce. Scheer asks Carnevale about his recent article on “white flight” in higher education.

Finally, Scheer is joined by author and radio host Katie Halper to discuss her article on Bernie Sanders, identity politics and how the media “completely missed the point.” Halper also talks about the current state of the Democratic Party.
