Part 1: We talk with Joe Jaworski, former mayor of Galveston, TX, and a lawyer in Texas. We discuss Trump's intention to eliminate FEMA, and shift the responsibility to the states. We also discuss the effects of the deportation of the undocumented workers from the US. Texas depends heavily on these workers, who support the agriculture, manufacturing, and construction industry in Texas. We talk about the Texas Ethics Commission who refuses to rule on ethics violations. Part 2: We talk with Laura Jedeed and Bill Curry. Project 2025 is in action, and is destroying and dismantling government agencies. Totalitarianism is falling into place. What can be done?

Part 1: We talk with Peter M. Shane, of Ohio State University, and Audrey Stienon, of the Open Markets Institute. We discuss Trump's executive orders, and what the consequences will be for ordinary Americans. We also talk about using local governments to help with ordinary problems: child care, elder care, etc. What are the implications if these services are all privatized, and rolled into for-profit enterprises? Part 2: This is: #RaceClass Ep. 37: Trump is the Grift and Racism President In this episode, we discuss how Trumps first days in office reflect what we already knew. Racism remains one of Trumps favorite political tactics. Hell use it to demean and delegitimize political opponents, and to distract from a separate pillar of his administration: massive self-dealing. As always, Florida provides a model for how opportunistic politicians can leverage racism, sexism and homophobia to grift the public and turn a profit, all while undermining every institution necessary for a meaningful democracy. We also note that Trumps racist rhetoric is effective, in part, because supposedly liberal institutions " like elite universities " have long failed to offer a competing narrative.

Part 1: We talk with Shelley Mann-Ley, Executive DirectorHealthy Climate New Mexico. She describes and discusses ways to prepare children and young adults to cope with the environmental changes. One of these is to train them to become first responders to disaster events, such as the current California fires, or floods. This can help mitigate the feelings of helplessness and terror, which can cause emotional problems. Part 2: We talk with Tom Kemeny, Associate Professor, Monk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, University of Toronto. We discuss the growth of wealth inequality world wide.

Part 1: We talk with Mel Goodman, a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy and a professor of government at Johns Hopkins University, and former CIA officer. We discuss Biden's farewell speech, and reference to the impending oligarchy in the US, due to Trump's presidency. We discuss the actions of Russia, China, North Korea, and the nations of the Middle East, particularly Israel and Iran. Part 2: We talk with Paul Glastris and Bill Curry.

He has written for Salon, the Daily Beast, the HuffingtonPost and the HartfordCourant and has provided commentary on National Public Radio, MSNBC and many other news outlets Paul Glastrisis currently Editor in Chief at Washington Monthly and has been there for the past 18 years. We discuss the role of political consultants, and the role of big donors in the failure of the Democratic party. Biden had real achievements, but consultants muted those facts by their 'safe' topics during the campaigns. Democrats need new ideas and policies to regain the trust of the middle and working class. "We also need to tell the truth as relentlessly as they lie." WNHNFM.ORG production Music: David Rovics, "Time to Act", for Will Von Sproson…
 
Part 1: We talk with Alec McGillis, reporter for ProPublica. We discuss the Ohio school system, where tax money has been redirected to private and religious schools. These are not always providing the education that students actually need, but serve to push an agenda for the far right. The tool used is universal school vouchers. This is also true for eleven other states, and likely to increase. Part 2: We talk with Prof. Mark Miodownik, of the University College in London. He is a professor of Material and Society. We discuss the use of plastics in our current environment. Plastics are extremely useful and have contributed much to human society. However, we often do not think about what happens to plastics and other products after their first use. Humans dispose of these products in unsustainable ways. "We are filling up the oceans with plastic." We can reduce waste in different ways. We discuss how this can be done. WNHNFM.ORG production Music: David Rovics, "Time to Act", for Will Von Sproson…
 
Part 1: We talk with Ethan Varian, reporter based in San Francisco. We discuss how wealthy individuals hire and retain private fire fighters. However, most of the fire fighters are hired by insurance companies for fire mitigation and prevention in high end homes. Coordination with local municipal fire fighters is required, but not always implemented. Part 2: We talk with David Schleicher, Professor of Property and Urban Law at Yale Law School. We discuss how property taxes are assessed, and how they are burdensome to homeowners. Property taxes are a wealth tax on an asset that are used to fund many things, including schools. However, the fairness is questionable, and many homeowners are objecting to this kind of taxation. Proposition 13 in California has distorted the housing market as a result. Property taxes in Texas are also problematic. We discuss why this is. WNHNFM.ORG production Music: David Rovics, "Time to Act", for Will Von Sproson…
 
Part 1: We talk with Mark Joseph Stern, from Slate.com We discuss the Laken Riley Bill, an anti-immigration bill that has a huge impact on how immigrants will be treated. It provides for indefinite detention and deportation for people who may be legally in the country, for no reason than that someone has accused them of some illegal action. Its applies to minors. It allows local police and local judges to make decisions that should be made on a national level. It can bring about travel bans against whole countries because of suspicions about one individual who may be departed back to his/her home country, despite that country not accepting that. Part 2: We talk with Peter Greene, who writes for Forbes. We discuss how religion has been taken over by the state. This is true in Louisiana, where religious statements are mandated by the state in public schools. Specifically, the state's version of the ten commandments must be posted in public schools, including pictures of Mike Johnson and Moses, as equivalent authorities. This takeover of religion, and subsuming it into the politics has destroyed the previously observed of the separation of church and state. No other religions besides evangelical christianity is represented. WNHNFM.ORG production Music: David Rovics, "Time to Act", for Will Von Sproson…

Part 1: We talk with Joe Jaworski, the son of Leon Jaworski, Joe was the former Mayor of Galveston TX, he ran for AG in 2022 lost in the democratic runoff. We discuss Texas politics, and specifically, the actions of the current AG, Ken Paxton. Paxton has been attacking fellow Republicans in Texas who have not bowed to his wishes. and who do not agree about who should lead the Texas House. Currently, Texas is a dangerous place to live for both citizens and immigrants. This is due to the draconian laws that have been passed recently, and also to the impending problems that will occur if many undocumented workers are deported: They pay taxes locally, and many cities and counties will lose that income. Additionally, many people are being sued or sent to prison as a result of new regulations and laws being implemented. Part 2: We talk with Harold Meyerson and Bill Curry. Bill Curry was a Connecticut state senator, comptroller and two time Democratic nominee for governor who served as Counselor to the President in the Clinton White House.

We discuss the California fires and Trump's response to the disasters. We also discuss the new reality: truth no longer matters, only the misinformation that is promulgated by Republicans.

We examine the qualifications that that have been cited. But we also look at his background, and the new apologies offered for his scandals, and his 'rebirth' as a fundamental christian. He is part of a 'christian reconstruction' cult which, in his mind, and, according to his new church overrides any US laws.
