1) Andrew Linhardt, Sierra Club Associate Director for Legislative and Administrative Advocacy to discuss his group's response to the Trump administration's recently announced plan to roll back Obama-era standards designed to cut emissions that contribute to climate change from gas burning autos and boost fuel efficiency in cars and trucks sold in the U.S. in the coming years.

2) James Loewen, an award winning author and historian, who's books include, "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong," and "Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism," (both recently reissued by the publisher,) discusses the importance of understanding the true history of the United States in the face of the Trump administration's constant stream of lies about policy issues and historical fact.
