The funds will be used to bring a new coal export terminal online in Oakland, California, and to restart an existing facility in Maryland. That's in addition to plants across 10 states: West Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Indiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Arizona, Oklahoma, North Dakota and Wisconsin. Trump says \"Each of those 10 states voted for Trump, We won them all.” The two new coal plants will be in Alaska and West Virginia. We welcome Mo Kelly & Michael Shure for This Week in Politics - a look at the biggest stories, including election results, a new \"Trump Promenade\" and more. Keep your hands in the car as we cruise into Friday Fabulous Florida - you never know who has a machete! Plus, The Culture Blaster, Michael Snyder brings the details on all the good movies and shows to see this weekend.","meta_description":"Trump is using wartime presidential authority to hand $700 million to coal-fired power plants in the US to prop us what he calls “clean, beautiful coal”,…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":6667,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-mark-thompson-show-5748981/episodes/trump-s-coal-money-grab-taxpayers-prop-up-dying-industry-with-from-clean-energy-funds-6-5-26/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-mark-thompson-show-5748981/trump-s-coal-money-grab-taxpayers-prop-up-dying-industry-with-from-clean-energy-funds-6-5-26.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
