MUELLER, SOCIALISM & THE OHIO NUKE BAILOUT
We’re joined by the great LILA F. GARRETT, long-time host of Pacifica’s Connect the Dots; JOE DEMARE, Ohio green activist; and BOB FITRAKIS of the Freepress.org, long-time author and election protection activist.
We start with Lila and a tough discussion of the Mueller Report and the utter incapability of the corporate Democrats to rally toward saving our democracy. A long-time Mueller critic, Lila makes it clear that defeating fascism in our country will take tremendous organizing and stamina.
Joe takes us through the horrendous bailout now being perpetrated in Ohio by the owners of the Perry and Davis-Besse nuclear reactors, both on the brink of economic ruin, both capable of utterly destroying the entire Great Lakes region.
Bob, a long-time socialist scholar, explains the roots of much of the modern conflict between national socialism/monopoly capitalism and democratic socialism or social democracy.
This is a fascinating, nuanced discussion of some of the most critical issues of our time. Don’t miss it.

TRUMP AS HITLER / OHIO AS NUKE WASTELAND
As TRUMP channels his inner HITLER we face an insane NUKE BAILOUT IN OHIO that could bankrupt the state and make it a radioactive wasteland.
With BECCA POLLARD of the Ohio Sierra Club, nuke expert MICHAEL KEEGAN of Don’t Waste Michigan, and KEVIN KAMPS of Beyond Nuclear we begin our show with the obligatory exploration of Donald Trump’s attempted fascist putsch.
As a history professor it’s clear Trump is plotting a textbook fascist takeover, complete with race hate, violence and contempt for democracy. It is time to use the “H” word (Hitler) and to be prepared .
We then cover the criminal $150 million/year robbery being attempted by FirstEnergy to "bail out” the decayed, destructive, bankrupt nukes that are super-heating Lake Erie and all around them.
The scam FirstEnergy has been running on the Legislature was expected to be complete by now. But continued resistance and various glitches have delayed the next vote until August 1, giving citizen activists a chance to defeat it.
As our planet roasts, this extremely critical battle will go a long way to determining the human future. We get right to the bottom of it with these three great guests.

5G WILL KILL US ALL
We’re joined by cell tower/phone experts Dr. Trevor Marshall, Carol Taccetta and Diane Rother to discuss the horrific threat to humankind posed by the spread of cell towers & phones, and the new plague of 5G.
Dr. Marshall, Ph.D., is one of the world’s leading researchers on the biological impacts of microwave radiation on the human body. Based in southern California, Carol has been involved with the issue for decades. Diane is a holistic health practitioner based in Minnesota.
The 1994 Telecommunications Act banned local communities from fighting cell towers on the basis of health concerns. The potential impacts on the human race as a whole are horrifying.
Cell phone/tower technology is being deployed worldwide with virtually no independent health research done on its potential impact to the human species. Early indicators are not good. Highly significant symptoms of physical and mental disease are starting to show in with the spread of unregulated cell towers and the indiscriminate use of cell phones throughout our society.
The early reports are absolutely terrifying. You will not want to miss these early warnings from some our most important experts.

An outrageous proposed $190 million annual bailout for two decrepit Chernobyl-ready nukes in northern Ohio is center stage in the national energy debate.
The scam being pushed by the bankrupt FirstEnergy Corporation would destroy Ohio’s economy and threaten the entire Great Lakes region with the next radioactive catastrophe.
DICK MUNSON, TIM JUDSON & KEVIN KAMPS are among the top experts on nuke reactors and the utilities that want to use them to rip billions out of the public pocket.
This show is the essential primer on what’s happening with the nation’s most critical corporate heist.

THE MARCH OF NUKE SHUT DOWNS NEEDS TO SPEED UP
Today we celebrate the final shut-down of Three Mile Island Unit One and the coming shut-down of Pilgrim, leading to 96 remaining US reactors in operation.
But the fight to shut them all continues.
We speak with LIBBE HALEVY, who was present in central Pennsylvania during the 1979 melt-down/explosion at TMI. Libbe hosts her Nuclear Hotseat show from Los Angeles, and is author of YES I GLOW IN THE DARK.
TIM JUDSON comes to us from the Nuclear Information & Resource Service with grassroots information on the campaign and lawsuits against Andrew Cuomo’s bailouts for four dying reactors in NY State.
KEVIN KAMPS joins us from Beyond Nuclear with his extensive understanding of the structural realities of the Perry and Davis-Besse nukes which are rapidly falling apart, but which are targeted for a massive bailout.
Together Kevin, Tim and Libbe give us a great overview of the most critical issue in America today—the continued operation of the increasingly dangerous and destructive atomic reactors that plague us all.
These three great expert/activists give us a foundation that’s not to be missed.

TMI, CHERNOBYL, FUKUSHIMA & OTHER NUKE NIGHTMARES
We’re joined by best-selling author KATE BROWN and world-renown nuke expert/engineer ARNIE GUNDERSEN to discuss reactor disasters, past, present and future.
Kate’s best-selling MANUAL FOR SURVIVAL: A CHERNOBYL GUIDE TO THE FUTURE dissects the Ukraine catastrophe in all its terrifying, murderous, eco-apocalyptic horror.
A professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Kate has studied Chernobyl and its fallout for years, producing a massive and profound narrative that must not be ignored.
Arnie continues to explain Fukushima in real time, dissecting the on-going catastrophe to the global media as no one else can.
Arnie lays out in certain terms the harsh realities now facing the people of Japan, and those living around the Pacific Rim, as radiation continues to pour through the afflicted site.
My own data as one of the very few reporters to go to central Pennsylvania in the year after the TMI accident help tie together the world’s three worst (so far) reactor disasters.
We must now do all we can to make sure there are no more. Hopefully this show will help us better understand why.

THE MUELLER REPORT IS OUT: PINE RIDGE IS UNDER WATER
The redacted Mueller Report has become a huge explosion in TrumpWorld. And the Pine Ridge Reservation is drowning.
As DANNY SHEEHAN and SARA NELSON of the Romero Institute report, the federal government is refusing to help the people of Pine Ridge to recover from the massive flooding that is destroying their lives and homes.
Aid requires a declaration of emergency from Trump, which he will not do. The catastrophe is reminiscent of Puerto Rico, where he threw paper towels at survivors who still require far more than is being offered.
As for the Mueller Report, Danny was deeply involved in much of Watergate and his and Sara’s insights are priceless.
Don’t miss this show as we watch what we can only hope will be the rapid unraveling of this dictatorial regime.
