Carbon pricing: confusing acronym soup or powerful conservative climate tool? In this episode, Katie and Zach cut through the noise and serve up the American carbon fee and dividend policy—hot, fresh, and freedom-flavored. You’ll get the lowdown on how a carbon price works, why it's better than Canada's (because of course it is), and how it just might be the key to bipartisan climate action.
But before all that? Katie reacts in real time to the news that Pope Francis has died. We’re talking Catholic media spirals, Vatican conspiracies, and jubilee-year chaos. And yes, J.D. Vance might be involved. Strap in.
