Deadly volcano erupts in Guatemala; Trump Administration moves toward unprecedented bail-out of failing coal plants; Canada's prime minister nationalizes controversial Trans Mountain tar sands pipeline; New renewable electricity surpasses new fossil fuel generation; PLUS: G7 nations subsidize fossil fuels to the tune of $100 billion a year, despite climate pledges... All that and more in today's Green News Report!

Leslie is joined by Loren Cooper MFA, author of "Chain of Ghosts: Resonance in Language, Story and the Brain." Loren specializes in the power of words and rhetoric. As a global people manager at a Fortune 50 company, he has to deal with all sorts of personalities and communication styles.

The two analyze how little President Trump's value for the truth impacts the public’s perception of it.

They also discuss recent polling showing that only 13% of Americans find Trump honest and trustworthy.
