The Fly-In | Governor Jay Inslee Won’t Back Down on Climate Change

This week, co-hosts Greg Landsman (OH-01) and Marc Veasey (TX-33) are joined by a special guest, former Governor of Washington Jay Inslee, whose more than 30 year career in public service included eight terms in the House of Representatives and a run at the Presidency in the 2020 Democratic primary. Throughout this wide-ranging discussion, Governor Inslee provides his takes on political polarization in Congress, the most unexpected realities of running for President, the reckless and corrupt actions by the Trump administration to push fossil fuels over clean energy, and how he’s not so different from NBA Hall of Famer Michael Jordan.A leading expert on climate policy, Governor Inslee also offers Democrats a winning message for the midterms that ties the cost of living with the realities of climate change. Before they wrap up, Landsman, Veasey, and the Governor – representing Ohio, Texas, and Washington – compete to see who can convince the Fly-In team that their state is better than all the rest.
