Hour 1
We begin with the obvious question:  Does Trump have dementia?

Of the past six presidents, 3.5 have been incompetent.

Our resident expert DR. NANCY NIPARKO concurs on Reagan, a bit on W but less so on Biden & moreso on Trump. 

Co-host MYLA RESON challenges the idea that Trump’s murders in the Caribbean  are rooted in dementia rather than corporate greed.

We note that MAGA commentator Tomi Lahren is screaming at Trump for bailing out the Argentine cattle industry while destroying the one here in the US.

Co-host MIKE HERSH then introduces ANTHONY FLACCOVENTO who explains to us his innovative Rural New Deal.

From the rural woodlands of central California JULIE LEVINE warns us of lethal alienation.

We then welcome legendary network news veteran DAVID SALTMAN to offer alternatives to the billionaire-dominated “legacy” media that now all sounds like Fox.

Hour 2
The World-Changing Transition from Fossil-Nukes to Solartopia is Happening Now

The #1 transition in human industrial history is taking us from fossil/nuclear fuels into solar, wind, geothermal and batteries.

These comments were always intended for private conversations but Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther and Columbus City Council President Shannon Hardin continually ignore us so, now I am compelled to speak publicly. Ginther served on the Columbus School Board six years before his appointment to City Council. Then he was elected Mayor in 2016. Hardin was appointed to Council in 2014 and has been President since 2018.

Here is an abbreviated recap of the Ginther-Hardin legacy. Columbus ranked as the second most economically segregated major US city in 2015. In 2022, the JPMorgan Chase report found racial inequities cost Columbus’ economy $10 billion annually. A 2024 report said Columbus is growing by leaps and bounds but is 700 years behind in racial equality.

In July 2025, JD Vance said Columbus is lawless. In September, Columbus Police Lieutenant and Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) President Brian Steel had his SUV with Marine Corp plates stolen from his driveway. Last week, NBC4 reported 182 cities were ranked and Columbus placed at No. 159, making it the 24th most unsafe city. It ranked even lower at No. 164 for home and community safety.

With three open seats on the Board of Education and no incumbents defending them, November 4 isn’t a sleepy local race. There are six candidates, and the winners will be faced with helping rescue Columbus City Schools from its toughest stretch in decades. A $100 million budget deficit, plummeting enrollment, collapsing public trust and a growing rift between union teachers and the District’s administration.

It’s a reset moment that will determine whether Ohio’s largest District stabilizes, shrinks, or fractures entirely. Again, six candidates are vying for three seats, and their divisions mirror Columbus politics itself.

“Establishment” Democrat Party-endorsed slate:

● Patrick Katzenmeyer — husband of former City Councilmember and YWCA CEO Elizabeth Brown, and son of retired Greater Columbus Arts Council CEO Tom

With just a few days until applications close on October 31st, I wanted to reach out and personally encourage

I’m trying to find my way back into The Possible Future, the working title of the book I started over a decade ago and eventually lost hold of. Somewhere deep inside me I feel compelled to reclaim it, but almost simultaneously I feel like I’m kidding myself. The topic is beyond me: our evolutionary necessity to transcend war and dehumanization and build humanity around the belief that power is collective.

Yes, I’ve done lots of research – in particular on Restorative Justice, a.k.a., the peace circle process – but . . . what? There’s a sense of doubt in me – a deep hole – that I can’t seem to overcome. Who do I think I am? I’m just an ordinary soul. How can I presume to write a book of such scope that it influences human evolution? By myself?

Well, here’s a piece of it from the likely first chapter, discussing the myth, which I refer to as the “old story,” around which humanity has organized itself:
