We're joined today by 9th generation West Virginian Bob Kincaid, the colorful host of Head-On Radio and president of Coal River Mountain Watch, to explain Justice's flip and why so many in the state still support Trump. We also discuss the surprising votes on ObamaCare repeal from both of WV's U.S. Senators (Republican Shelly Moore-Capito and Democrat Joe Manchin), and how Trump's end to the pretend 'War on Coal' is playing out in Coal Country. Then, Desi Doyen joins us for a shocking amount of encouraging news in our 799th 'Green News Report', including setbacks for EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, and a major oil company CEO's announcement that he's now buying an electric car as he sees the world moving to renewable energy and the end quickly nearing for Big Oil..."
