Dr. Steve Koonin, Obama’s appointee as Undersecretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy, joins Jacki to discuss his new book, Unsettled:  What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters.  Koonin dispels fear with facts as he reviews the most current climate science to show that the future is far better than the prevailing narrative suggests.  With more than 200 peer-reviewed papers in relevant scientific disciplines, Dr. Koonin was a professor of theoretical physics and Caltech and now is a professor at New York University with appointments in the Department of Physics, Tandon School of Engineering, and the Stern Business School.  If your friends or family are experiencing fear or anxiety about their climate future, this book is for them! Next, Jacki is joined by Brigham McCown, CEO of Alyeska Pipeline, supplying the U.S. west coast with the energy it needs to survive.  McCown fact checks the false narratives of fringe media suggesting that climate change is creating challenges to pipelines, which could sink into the permafrost.  Jacki and Brigham unpack the uninformed claims and give the true safety record of Alaska’s famous pipeline which is soon to celebrate 45 years of safe operation. Pipelines are safe and green.  Consider that trains transport hazardous materials safely about 99.997% of the time, and pipelines are about 50% safer than rail, with only a small fraction of the pollution by comparison.  Mr. McCown is the former Acting Director of the Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and is a retired naval aviator.  Then, Jacki is joined by Don Huffines, the businessman and former Texas State Senator who is running to unseat Texas Governor Greg Abbott.  Huffines discusses the problems with ERCOT, the breakdown of the rule of law at our border – a problem for the entire country – and what leadership requires in times of uncertainty, such as when a virus strikes, and a governor must show the proper respect for both public health  - and freedom.  Texas shut down during the pandemic, unnecessarily devastating the oil patch and small business.  Huffines has other ideas.  We at The Jacki Daily Show are looking forward to watching this contest unfold! Our friends at Glenn Beck’s Mercury One rose to the occasion in Afghanistan, saving 5,100 desperate people who fled for their lives. If you would like to help, consider Mercury One which works to “liberate the captive, to free the enslaved, and to rescue, rebuild and restore the lives of Christians and other persecuted religious and ethnic minorities wherever and whenever they are in need.” Visit MercuryOne.org for more information. Finally, friend of The Jacki Daily Show, Barbara Denson, is nominated for a Reader’s Choice Award for her children’s book, Wind Blows.  Check it out, and we recommend a vote for Barbara’s book at https://www.tckpublishing.com/2021-readers-choice-voting-page/  (page 11)  Good luck, Barbara!
