Then, Scott Pruitt, head of the Environmental Protection Agency resigned last week clouded by unprecedented scandal and allegations of corruption. On our show today Mary Anne Hitt from the Sierra Club will join us to discuss Pruitt’s disastrous legacy at the EPA in terms of the gutting of public safety standards. We’ll also discuss the background of Pruitt’s replacement, Andrew Wheeler, a Washington insider and former coal lobbyist. Then, we’ll cover a brand new documentary called American Socialist: The Life and Times of Eugene Victor Debs. Filmmaker Yale Strom has released the film about the most important socialist figure in American history, just in time for a growing interest particularly among young Americans, in the idea of socialism.
