Happy Earth Day! While we celebrate efforts to save the earth, the Trump administration appears to be doing everything in its power to destroy it. At the same time, the Iran war has driven gas prices through the roof, making sustainable energy sources more appealing than ever. Dharna Noor, climate reporter for The Guardian, joins the show to discuss how President Donald Trump’s war of choice could push the US back toward renewables. And in headlines, Tucker Carlson apologizes for his role in bringing Trump to power, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth fights for…bodily autonomy, and Trump’s choice to run the Federal Reserve has his confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee.

  • It's Wednesday, April 22nd.

  • I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day, the show that often says,

  • We won because essentially we've won here.

  • Donald Trump, you might recall, did not fight in the Vietnam War.

  • He did, however, tell Howard Stern in 1997 that avoiding sexually transmitted infections was,

  • quote, like Vietnam, sort of.

  • It is my personal Vietnam.

  • On today's show, Tucker Carlson apologizes for his role in bringing Trump to power.

  • Unfortunately for all of us, too little, too late.

  • And Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fights for bodily autonomy, but not in a good way.

  • Let's start with Earth Day, which is today, in case you forgot.

  • It's a weird time to be honoring the Earth and celebrating efforts to save it.

  • Because the Trump administration seems to be doing everything it can to strip the planet for parts.

  • For example, the administration is paying millions of dollars to keep coal plants open.

  • Plants that were scheduled for retirement and cost a ton to run.

  • Because the Trump administration really, really loves coal.
