The Passing of Information and Thoughts. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Greg MacDonald.
People learn from many people in their life. They learn from family, friends, neighbors, their community, their workplace, and others. But when people talk of 'teachers, they are generally talking about schoolteachers--those who instruct in academic settings from preschool to grad school. These teachers are generally with a person six to seven hours a day, five days a week, nine months a year, for 12 to 20 years. Their aggregate impact on the individual is substantial. This impact can range from very negative to very positive for both the student and the teacher.

GOP, Maga GOP, Biden's Big Gamble. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Chuck Crumpton.
When the world is watching whether or not the USA could default on its past bills and debt obligations, that's serious. The strength and power of the USA has been and still is its ability to honor and pay its debt, yet each day the media reports the GOP and Biden Administration are deadlocked over negotiations of what and how much to cut from President Biden's budget. Those discussions should be miles apart from whether or not they agree to pay for the nation's past bills. Unbelievably, they're not.
This game of power control may well have devastating consequences of our county's reputation as safe and having a strong leading economy. The panel discusses this issue.

Moving Beyond Hydrogen Fairytales. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Matt Moran.
On the topic of hydrogen, there is a great deal of misinformation being circulated. Liquid hydrogen systems in particular are sometimes characterized as being a far-off vision that will require many years to deploy. The truth is there are no true technology gaps preventing the widespread application of hydrogen systems. The answer to many questions about hydrogen can be summed up as 'it has already been done'.
Unfortunately, inaccuracies have even made their way into key reports from authoritative government and international sources. These publications frequently contain errors and omissions, especially on the topic of liquid hydrogen. It is critically important to resolve this issue since public policy, regulations, funding priorities, and private sector investments are heavily influenced by these types of publications.

Interview with Barry Solomon, Co-author. The host for this show is Mihaela Stoops. The guest is Barry Solomon.
Our language evolves with us and with the complexity of our life. The 'Dictionary of Ecological Economics' thoroughly explains over 1100 terms for the new millennium. We briefly discuss what ecological economics means and its difference with conventional economics. We discuss where ecology and economics meet and how it applies to Hawai'i. Although the dictionary was edited by Brent M Haddad and Barry Solomon, numerous distinguished scholars contributed to writing the definitions. We review what type of research one has to do to be able to compile a dictionary, particularly in a new area of expertise. Last, but not least, we question how artificial intelligence will impact the process of generating new terms and their definitions.

Think Outside the Building. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is Richard Fleming.
Neuro-Architect Richard Fleming discusses the intersection of neuroscience and architecture in helping build better brains and unlock happiness. Fleming studies the connection between the built environment and the brain related to brain cognitive function, mood and well-being. Designing spaces with the brain in mind enhances our mental health and improves our quality of life. The power of place significantly impacts emotional and cognitive states. This is where neuroscience architecture comes in.
Fleming delves deep into the science of neuro-architecture while also exploring the role of of technology in shaping our built environment.
This discussion aims to promote awareness about the importance of building better brains and the role of neuro-architecture in unlocking happiness and boosting cognitive function. Fleming inspires people of all ages, thinkers and feelers, businesses, thought leaders and policymakers to seek spaces that support optimal mental health and happiness for all.

A Vacancy Tax Would Not Fix the Problem. The host for this show is Keli'i Akina. The guest is Jensen Ahokovi.
Some state and county lawmakers in Hawai'i have proposed taxing so-called empty homes as a way to address Hawaii’s housing crisis.
However, a new study from the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii found no meaningful relationship between home vacancy rates and high home prices — in Hawai'i or anywhere else in the U.S. — which means that the 'empty homes' theory is just another time-wasting distraction from addressing the real cause of Hawaii’s housing shortage, which is too many regulations that hinder new homebuilding.
The Institute’s new policy brief is titled The ‘empty homes’ theory of Hawaii’s housing crisis,' and was written by Institute staffers Jensen Ahokovi and Mark Coleman.
On today’s episode of 'Hawaii Together,' host Keli'i Akina speaks with Ahokovi about the report — and why an empty homes tax would be unlikely to lower Hawai'i home prices or increase housing supply.

Flashback on the French Demonstrations. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Louis Rase.
The pension's reform ordered by the French government will have been the trigger of an umpteenth fever within the French people. Between the calls of the Unions to strike, the pilling up of garbage in Paris's street, the spontaneous gatherings in the streets, the clashes with the police. These events highlight the conditions for fundamental freedoms to be exercised, and sometimes to be scorned. If these rights are inherent to the individual because of their nature of limit between savagery and humanity; they are not granted but due. Those rights become a duty for the States, a duty to guarantee and protect.

Attila Seress of Cypac helps us understand the current status and affects of ransomware attacks. With today's attention to cyber threats an all-time high and crackdowns by law enforcement on cyber gangs, you would think that ransomware attacks would be at an all-time low. But according to a new report published by Tenable, 35.5% of breaches in 2022 were the result of a ransomware attack, only down a negligible 2.5% from the year before. Cybercriminals are not making as much money they used to.. or are they?

Hawai'i Hurricane Relief. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
Many of us in Hawai'i are aware that we have an Emergency and Budget Reserve Fund, enshrined in chapter 328L, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to save money for a 'rainy day'--that is to say, an emergency. In the most recent legislative session, the state budget bill provides for an additional one billion dollars to be socked away into that fund, $500 million a year.
But, as it turns out, that’s not the only 'reserve fund' we have.
As the Department of Budget and Finance kindly explains on its website, we have the Hawaii Hurricane Relief Fund (HHRF). This fund was set up in 1993 to provide hurricane insurance coverage for property owners here in Hawai'i Nei in case the private insurance market proved unreliable. This was thought to be a good idea when Hurricane Iniki whacked us in 1992.
In the years since Iniki, however, private insurers returned to the market. The HHRF shut down in 2002. But we still, to this day, have $186.7 million in the fund.

Trump Responses Worse than 2016, 2020. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Chuck Crumpton.
Trump's town hall meeting sponsored by CNN confirmed what we've come to know about him: he's stuck on his personal grievances, and victimhood. He launched into his belief that VP Pence should have overturned the 2020 Electoral College results. Also, Trump made it clear he would grant pardons to the majority of the convicted Jan 6 insurrectionists. Not to leave the topic, he felt the Georgia Secretary of State 'owed' him 11,780 votes, therefore he did not violate any election laws. He was unable to commit if he wanted Ukraine to prevail over Russia in the war, and strongly implied that he would reinstate the horrific zero-tolerance policy, taking children away from their parents at the southern border. What was evident from the interview: Trump hasn't evolved much from the 2016, 2020 elections. Given his responses, he's worse. Should CNN have given Trump his own platform to pontificate his warped view of past elections and the bleak future he wants America to live in?

CHD, No. 1 Cause of Death for Children. The host for this show is Wendy Loh. The guest is Christopher K.M. Hui.
Sea Star’s story starts with a little girl named Tong Tong. At just a few months, Tong Tong was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD)--at the time, the number #1 cause of death for children under the age of 5. She had difficulty breathing, and her lips and fingers were turning blue due to the lack of oxygen. Her parents were unable to afford the prohibitively high cost of surgery and did not know how to navigate applying to non-profits for help. A few friends heard about their plight, and joined forces to raise funds and help Tong Tong’s family through the application process of various charities. Tong Tong received the surgery she needed with the kindness of everyone involved. These friends realized that there are so many other children with CHD who still needed their help. And gathered more like-minded friends to form Sea Star Children’s Foundation in March 2012.

Title 42, a law that prevented immigrants seeking legal asylum from entering the USA during the COVID-19 pandemic, is expiring on May 11, 2023. Predictions of a new wave of immigrants crossing the southern boarders has been in news headlines for months. President Biden has ordered an additional 1,500 National Guard troops to assist Homeland Security to stem the tide. Local, state, and federal border enforcement agencies admit they have insufficient recourses to prevent both legal and illegal crossings. The immediate impact and longer-term ramifications of an immigration wave are the topics of discussion for this episode.

Invasive Species a Unique Opportunity. The host for this show is Keli'i Akina. The guest is Bryan Mayer.
Hawaii’s goal of advancing agriculture and food sustainability cannot happen in a vacuum. Deliberate action must be taken to identify and remove roadblocks to profitable local food production.
Hawai'i already has a thriving cattle ranches, but invasive species such as Maui’s Axis deer pose a unique opportunity as an additional source of meat products.
Problem is, there is no state meat inspection system. However, nationally recognized educator and butcher Bryan Mayer thinks that might be just what Hawai'i needs, in addition to adopting other policies to fulfill Hawaii's meat-producing potential.
On today’s episode of 'Hawaii Together,' host Keli'i Akina speaks with Mayer about the state of Hawaii’s meat industry, how Hawaii’s Axis deer and other invasive animals fit into the situation, and some of the other challenges the industry will need to address.

Recycling and Energy, Million Can Prodigy. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Genshu Price.
At the ripe age of 14, Genshu Price launched a recycling revolution. He's generating funds to pay tuition for kids older than himself. He's branching into other fields of giving. The sky's the limit.
If you have doubts about the HI-5 bottle deposit program, consider this: On O'ahu, before HI-5 went into effect in January 2005, the landfill diversion rate was 41 percent, according to the state Department of Health’s Office on Solid Waste Management. In other words, about three-fifths of all of O'ahu’s municipal solid waste went to the Waimanalo Gulch landfill.
Since then, more than 4.2 billion beverage containers have been recycled through the program, the waste office says, which helped increase the overall diversion rate to 72 percent. It’s not just HI-5, of course. The diversion rate includes many other recycled materials, plus waste sent to H-Power, the incinerator that turns trash into electricity and generates about 6 to 8 percent of O'ahu’s power.

Life is filled with distractions, especially in cities where people, tasks and responsibilities are always demanding attention. Finding time for new projects, even highly desired ones, is hard. If activities are quickly started and quickly finished, then they can be squeezed in. But if they are slow starting, like the blank page staring at the would-be writer, if they demand thought and study, these can be very difficult to squeeze into one’s life. Enter the Retreat where one is geographically pulled away from one’s normal busy life and relocated to a quiet, restful place where time is available and plentiful. A place where others have come to work on similar projects, a place where teachers are available to guide and support these projects, that is an opportunity to follow one’s desire, that is a Retreat.

Chief Justice Roberts Needs to Investigate. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Chuck Crumpton.
Twenty years of accepting lavish gifts, and Justice Thomas didn't think to offer any disclosure. Judges know rules, that's how they become a judge. Rather than look up specific requirements (rules) of gift disclosure, Clarence Thomas said he asked around if accepting gifts for travel and hotels valued in the thousands of dollars was permitted. All areas of government have strict rules prohibiting the acceptance of gifts, except, it seems, SCOTUS. Calls by the Senate Judicial Committee is requesting Chief Justice Roberts to initiate an investigation. The panel examines influence peddling to members of the highest court in the land.

Chicago and Honolulu, the Uneven Pair. The hosts for this show are Martin Despang and DeSoto Brown.
Previous 'human[e] architecture' investigations have identified that Honolulu’s skyscraping skyline borrows much from Chicago, from architectural articulation to authorship. Both cities fronting water, this series of episodes investigates the most recent development in Chicago and their relation to and relevance for Honolulu. DOM Publisher’s 'Chicago Architectural Guide' gives orientation and inspiration for Martin Despang’s scavenger hunt in Chicago in May 2022. It refreshes previous impressions and eye witnessing memories of DeSoto Brown and Martin Despang from combined from the 60’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. The show is making the viewers recollect, update or initiate their substantiated image of Honolulu’s fellow Windy City as to what to learn from and what not to.

Access Creativity Thru Life Transitions. The host for this show is Phyllis Blees. The guest is Jeannette Diaz.
We learn of three life-transition times of Jeannette Diaz which led to her releasing and applying her creativity: (1) becoming a professor of architecture, (2) creating a fused-glass studio, and (3) obtaining a doctorate in creativity from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
From these transitions, Diaz offers these core practices to develop our creative potential:
Centering ourselves: breathing exercises, meditation, silence, nature
Focusing on tasks: look for 'flow states'
Acknowledging creative behaviors to change our brains
Accepting creativity as a way of life

Women Fight for Reproductive Rights in US. The host for this show is Joshua Cooper. The guest is Tarah Demant.
Access to abortion is a fundamental human right supported by international human rights committees ruling that criminalizing abortion violates the rights of women and girls. The U.S. Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade in June 2022 denies women federal protection, ushering in a new era of engagement for gender equality and equity. Recently, reproductive rights advocates face a tough pill to swallow with a federal judge ruling that the abortion pill mifepristone must be pulled from the shelves. Women in America and around the world respond to the multiple rollback of basic human rights and fundamental freedoms with a call for gender justice.

Hawai'i is the only island state in the country, which means it faces unique transportation challenges — whether shipping, airports, harbors, bus, rail or highways.
So how can island lawmakers best manage the transportation policies?
On today’s episode of Hawaii Together, host Keli'i Akina speaks with Baruch Feigenbaum, senior managing director of transportation policy at the national Reason Foundation, about how Hawai'i can reduce the costs and the improve service quality of its various mass transportation systems by relying more on the private sector.

Healthy oceans and seas are essential to our very existence. They both cover over 70% of our planet and we depend on them for food, energy and water. Humanity has managed to do tremendous damage and harm to our precious liquid resources. Going forward, we must protect our oceans and seas by eliminating pollution and overfishing. We must immediately manage and protect all marine life around the planet. Humanity must prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds. We must reduce ocean acidification through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels. We must implement science-based management plans to restore fish stocks. More importantly, we must support small-scale fisher folk by providing access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets. We must increase scientific knowledge, research and technology for ocean health. We must implement and enforce international law related to our seas.

Electric Cooperatives Are Installing Fiber. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier.
More than 200 electric cooperatives have begun work or have already installed fiber optic cables or broadband infrastructure onto their facilities. This is possible in great part thanks to the new Farm Bill, Build Back Better and the 'Broadband for All' provisions in that bill. This is great news for remote or rural electricity consumers and their communities, but it opens the door to many more possibilities. The concern is on how well prepared these cooperatives are to run, manage or even operate in a broadband space.

Condo Community Engagement. The host for this show is Raelene Tenno. The guest is Lorie Sides.
All owners are members of the condo association, the association is like a mini government, the owners elect a board to represent them, and the board has the authority to make decisions to run the association.
Owners should get involved because 1) for many, condo is their most valuable asset and want to protect it, and 2) it is your home where you spend a lot of time – you want it to be your happy place.
Get informed by reviewing governing docs to learn how your association operates and be familiar with the house rules.
How can you get involved? Attend association meeting, vote, attend board meetings, and volunteer for a committee or run for the board.
Board should acknowledge and address owners’ complaints.

The Future of Farming. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Adam Strubeck.
Hawai'i faces competing land uses for renewable energy generation and agriculture. Agrivoltaics is the combination of solar energy production and agriculture. Agrivoltaics research is rapidly advancing and could have major implications for the food-energy nexus. Traditional agrivoltaics involves planting crops underneath solar panels; however, alternate configurations of agrivoltaic systems are emerging which incorporate more diverse production of energy, plants, and livestock. Students at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa theorized an alternative configuration of agrivoltaics that would mimic the diverse tropical agroforests in Pacific Islands. Agrivoltaic systems could be critical for creating self-sufficiency in food and energy for remote communities and agricultural operations.

Complementary Paths: Mind and Spirit. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Daniel Lev.
Once parallel paths miles apart, religion and psychotherapy now often intersect, both their destinations being a better life for travelers. Clergy engage in non-theological counseling as well as sacred teachings, while spirituality has become a much-used tool for psychotherapy. These fellow helpers often partner up to help the stressed, the confused, the depressed, the anxious people who come to them for help. In a world full of dark clouds and earthquakes that shake individuals' confidence and disrupt functioning, both religion and psychotherapy are now practicing listening skills and understanding of people’s unique problems, not just standard doctrine and protocols.

Trump Follows his 2016-2020 Playbook. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Chuck Crumpton and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
When you plan the 2024 first big campaign rally in the city Waco, TX, close to the 30th anniversary of the Branch Davidian catastrophic end, it is by no means a coincidence. The symbolism of Trump decrying that the true enemy of America is not China nor Russia, but rather top leaders--President Biden, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi--is setting the stage for yet another repeat of scare tactics. Trump blowing a dog whistle to encourage an outbreak of violence is reminiscent of the language which led to Jan. 6. In earlier texts, Trump stated the 'deep state' is 'coming after me, they're coming after you'. If that wasn't enough, Trump declared that if indicated, 'potential death and destruction may result if charged. If this sort of speech occurred at the first 2024 rally, what will we have in store moving forward at future rallies? The panel discusses the Waco rally.

A Review of State and County Strategies. The host for this show is Joe Kent. The guest is Lance Owens.
In 2017, Hawai'i adopted a law requiring that all of the state’s 88,000 cesspools be converted to septic, sewer or another wastewater disposal system by the year 2050.
But cesspool conversation can be prohibitively expensive — ranging up to $40,000 for some homeowners.
As a result, the state and counties are reviewing numerous strategies to achieve that 2050 goal.
On today’s episode of Hawaii Together, Lance Owens, a Hawai'i island REALTOR and co-operator of the real estate company Kona Home Team, talks about these strategies and especially how Hawai'i island, which is home to more than half of the state’s cesspools, is planning to deal with them.
He joins host Joe Kent, executive vice president of the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, to discuss the costs, benefits and feasibility of the cesspool-conversion mandate.

Responsibilities that Royal Personages Bear. The host for this show is George Casen.
This is a movie somewhat based on the life of Kaiulani, a niece of King David Kalākaua and Queen Liliʻuokalani, who was in line to be Queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii. It relates that she lived during turbulent times, so after her mother Likelike died, her father Archibald Cleghorn sent her to England for her own safety and to prepare her scholastically for the role she was meant to assume on the world stage. Cataclysmic events intervened with a coup d'etat that overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy. At a tender age, she stepped up to the plate to try to restore the sovereignty of her island nation. The movie relates how her British accent, New York fashion sense and Hawaiian heart so impressed the members of the US Congress that they were ready to vote to restore the sovereignty of Hawai`i until an American battleship was bombed in Havana Harbor, instigating the Spanish-American War.

During this episode of The Hawaiian Smooth Jazz Connection we are talking with Ryan LaValette, from New Zealand, who is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, arranger and engineer who started to play guitar, saxophone and the bass at an early age. Ryan was influenced by the music and style of guitar legend George Benson and he primarily considered himself a guitar player.
A graduate of the School of Audio Engineering (SAE) Auckland, he was well aware that expanding outside New Zealand into America would be significant for his development. For his debut album Saturated Smooth (2018), he was able to win over guitarist Clay Benjamin and saxophonist Donald Hayes as guest musicians.
Keyboardist and producer Greg Manning not only put him in touch with the Trippin 'N' Rhythm label, but also played a decisive role in his debut work for this label.

GOP Leadership Won't Speak Out on Trump. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guest is Chuck Crumpton.
Trump predicted that his arrest by the Manhattan District Attorney is on the near horizon. (He announced it would happen on 3/21). He took to social media to announce his indictment and called to protest and 'Take back America'. With echoes of Jan 6, there are some who fear his MAGA followers may take his words to protest as a silent dog whistle to do so by violent means. Rather than quell his words, GOP leaders Kevin McCarthy and Lindsey Graham took to the media airways to criticize the Manhattan District Attorney as pushing a political agenda versus the prosecution of the 45th former president, over hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and election contribution law violations. The looming arrest of a former president, the first in presidential history, is the topic of discussion for today's panel.

DeSantis out of Step with GOP on Ukraine. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Stephanie Dalton. The guest is Mingo Wasch.
Ron DeSantis, who is expected to seek the GOP nomination for president in 2024, stated on Monday that continued support from the USA for Ukraine is not a 'vital' national interest. Pushback from GOP leaders was swift and strong. Senator Lindsey Graham compared DeSantis's comments to Neville Chamberlain, who was England's prime minister who failed to do anything about Hitler's advances in Europe in the late 1930's. So the question may be, Are DeSantis's comments about Ukraine an attempt to attract Trump's MAGA voters or is this really his position?

Overcoming the Blank Page. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guests are Tamara Moan, Jamie McOuat and Penny Pence Smith.
Life is a multi-emotional continuum, from joy to despair, from interest to boredom, from positive to negative. One of the great negative emotions is fear, and one of the great fears is fear of the blank page. Most people at sometime in their lives think, 'I should write this down.' What they want to write may be a memory, a story, a poem, a thought, an essay. And if this is not written, it most often disappears. People are in the middle of something, have no time to stop, nothing to write with, and the moment is lost. Eventually many make the time and sit down with paper and pen in hand, and face…the blank page, a fearsome entity that paralyzes brain cells and whispers in people’s ears, 'You are no writer, and you will fail.' The spirit that can defeat this adversary is 'Imagination.'

FDIC Deposit Protection for all Banks Now. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Chuck Crumpton and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
Silicon Valley Bank, $210 billion in assets, and Signature Bank, $110 billion, are now owned by the federal government. How did the SV Bank mismatch of asset maturity duration versus on-demand deposit liabilities maturity duration get so far out of balance? Is the takeover of a mismanaged regional bank another gift to the too-big-to-fail mega banks? Time will tell what new bank will be allowed to purchase SVB and Signature Bank. Only the Feds know that answer. One thing is for sure: the government regulators missed SVB's slow journey to an upside-down yield curve. Like grounding a tanker ship onto shallow shore rocks, bank management was blind to pilot the bank's assets and liability duration. Is Biden's policy decision to guarantee all deposits in excess of the FDIC $250K limit mean these two banks are getting a tax payer bail-out? Or is it just a Fed loan to prevent a panic and other bank failures? The panel discusses this new direction of bank government oversight.

Sinjajevina Movement Protects Biodiversity. The host for this show is Joshua Cooper. The guests are Milan Sekulović, Petar Glomazic and Persida Jovanovic.
European herders and farmers brave brutal conditions to honor a sacred mountain and defend it from military exercises threatening biodiversity. Montenegro community activists demand protection and a halt to military exercises on Sinjajevina, the most important Community Conserved Area in the entire nation. For centuries, the people protect and care for the grasslands as one would protect the life of one’s own family. UNESCO Biosphere status recognizes the unique biodiversity, calling for conservation. Sinjajevina serves as the largest mountain grassland in the Balkans and the second in all of Europe. Each highland pastoral settlement, known as a katun, continuously makes and re-makes its own governance decisions about their commonly held lands in Sinjajevina through local assemblies. The katun determine access to pasture and govern their use. So far the frontline resistance mobilized national and global moral pressure to defend the mountain from military use.

Greg 'Blower' Sembower had flown many aircraft - Air Force F-16s and F-117s, United Airlines 747s, 777s, and 787s among others. He did not want to retire from his flying career until he made sure retirement would be better that work.

Blower shares his amazing journey with Fig on this episode. He had to learn how to fly tail-dragger airplanes, find the right bird, get a P-51 checkout, and drop significant cash on his dream. Having done that, it a 'Now what?' moment.

Fentanyl One Pill One Death. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is Janel Rodriquez.
Fentanyl poisoning is the number one cause of death in ages 18 - 45 in the United States.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Guest Janel Rodriquez lost her teenage son, Noah, on August 21, 2022 to Fentanyl poisoning. Janel explains why she and her husband do not want any other parent, family member or friend to experience what they have. They started the Forever 15 Project to spread awareness and to provide resources for those who are at risk or who know someone at risk, and to honor those who have been lost.
Janel discusses the shocking sudden loss of her son and how she and her husband called upon their creative strength in founding the Forever 15 Project.
Through Janel's and her husband's various speaking engagements to both students and families, they have reached countless people and shared the dangers and telltale signs, and provided resources for those at risk.

Activism for Disabilty Rights. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and George Casen.
This documentary relates the history of the disability rights movement in the US, beginning in 1971 with the experiences of disabled teenagers at Camp Jened, a summer camp established for them in New York State. The connections these previously isolated individuals made there with each other led to political activism to fight for their collective rights. This activism eventually led to the signing of the American With Disabilities Act (ADA) by President George H. W. Bush in 1990. Barack and Michelle Obama were the Executive Producers of this documentary.

Condos Need Specific Email Accounts. The host for this show is Raelene Tenno. The guest is Gary Wells.
Our discussion today is on emails and Association websites. There's changes that are or are about to happen: requiring Association-specific user names and emails. Benchmarking requires it, and the next could be our Association registration. Websites are a valuable way of maintaining or getting information out, not only to prospective buyers but to your owners and even tenants. Some Associations already have websites with a specific email, but for those that do not, they should consider it soon. Emails should have longevity, meaning it will remain the same for many years and not change with changes in site management. The entity that is hosting and the maintenance of the website are other important components and a part of our discussion.

Need It, Want It, Hate it. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
Here in Hawaii, we officially have a love-hate relationship with tourism.
How do we love it? Look no further than the Hawaii Tourism Authority, which has been awarding lucrative marketing contracts – tens of millions of dollars per year.
How do we hate it? We have been taxing the bejeebers out of tourists. Tourists looking at their hotel folios are greeted with a state TAT of 10.25%, a county TAT of 3%, a state general excise tax of 4%, and, for most counties, a county surcharge on state tax of 0.5%. That’s a whopping combined tax rate of close to 18% under current law.
With all of these mixed messages going out to what is, happily or unhappily, our No. 1 economic driver, the possibility of economic waste looms large.

Trump Embraces Convicted Jan 6 Inmates. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Chuck Crumpton.
CPAC 2023 was Trump's national campaign moment. For two hours, Trump reminded his loyal MAGA followers that grievance is the GOP political platform (as it was in 2016 and 2020). He threw off former GOP leaders, Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, and Florida's Jeb Bush. He promised his leadership will make America great again (again and again). The jaw dropping moment was a video in which the singing voices of imprisoned Jan 6 inmates belted out the National Anthem (presumably recorded on prison pay phones) while Trump is heard reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Additionally, Trump's promise to be the president of retribution was a further step down into the basement of Trump's deplorable behavior. The panel examines the CPAC event.

Fox's Host Texts in Court Docs Prove it. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Jeff Portnoy.
We know many of Fox's prime time line-up of hosts--Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro--and they all have one thing in common. They all knew Trump's cries of a stolen 2020 election was false, and court records of their multiple texts prove that. In a $1.6B case against Fox News, a trove of documents filed by Dominion attorneys not only shine a light on these hosts' texts, but also communications from Rupert Murdoch and Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott. The messages were clear: there was a deep concern that Fox viewers were heading for the doors to Newsmax because Fox was not playing into Trump's 'Big Lie' claims. Ratings and profits won out, and the false stolen election lies Fox News reported on is now journalistic, or the total lack of it, history. The panel explores what Fox did and impacts to future news reporting.

With Jimmy Carter having just announced to go into hospice care, this show wants to do its very best to thank him while he is still alive and discuss his impact amongst many in the built environment. This show, by example of hosts Martin Despang and DeSoto Brown, encourages you to think about your zeitgeist relation to the era of Jimmy Carter’s presidency between 1977 and 1981 and preceding and continuing. The show revisits architects Larry Medlin, Steve Au and in detail Ronald Lindgren--with his Kapalua Bay Hotel on Maui, Hawaii--which built in those late 70’s, are prime examples of the substantial aura and era of Jimmy Carter.

Legally Required but Some Refuse. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
One of the other duties that legislators have is oversight of our Executive Branch agencies. This is a normal function of government. We elect legislators. Legislators control the purse strings, and they need to make sure that the tax money we entrust to them is being spent wisely and efficiently.
To facilitate this oversight function, we have a number of laws that bear on the budgeting process. One of them, HRS section 37-75, requires agencies to come up with a 'variance report' that is supposed to list how much they were budgeted, how much was spent, and a narrative explanation for any significant difference. Agencies are also tasked with selecting some metrics that will help the legislators and the public see how they did, and with posting those metrics. These reports are due 30 days before the start of the legislative session. They are collected by the Department of Budget and Finance.
Some agencies cooperate. Some thumb their noses at the process.

DOM Publisher’s 'Chicago Architectural Guide' gives orientation and inspiration for Martin Despang’s scavenger hunt in Chicago in May 2022.

Common Cause vigorously opposes the far- right plan do to this.

Back to Being Yourself. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Nanette Orman.
During the pandemic lockdown, people were separated from family, friends, people. Many felt like they had become hermits. As the pandemic lengthened, people felt more alone, more isolated. After two years when the restrictions were finally loosened, many rushed out to celebrate. But others found it difficult to step out into the light from their dark pandemic cave. Staying inside felt safe. Stepping outside felt dangerous, mental and physical anxiety surged, people questioned their abilities to cope, became fearful. A door had closed and been locked. How does a person find the key and the courage to open the door and reconnect to their previous, positive self?

Getting past Conventional Wisdom. The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf.
Host Dan 'Fig' Leaf's 2017 essay, 'An urgently practical approach to the Korean Peninsula,' won the Oslo Forum's first ever Peacewriter Prize. While policy makers have tinkered with some of his suggestions, there has been no real progress towards lasting peace and 2022 was North Korea's biggest year ever testing ballistic missiles. June 2023 marks 70 years since the Armistice was signed ended fighting during the Korean War. Seven decades of not peace and not prosperity (at least for North Korea).
Fig does not see it as a policy problem, rather a lack of vision. Strategic patience and maximum pressure were intended to maintain peace and eventually improve human rights in the DPRK. Both have failed. Agreed Framework? Failed. Six party talks? Failed. Seven decades of failure have led a region on the brink with potential nuclear consequences. The risk of war has been accompanied by a descent into hell for the common North Korean. The status quo is not just unacceptable, it is horrifying.

90 Seconds Before Midnight: Closest Ever. The host for this show is Joshua Cooper. The guests are Robert Forsyth, Alyn Ware, Ivan Siluianov and Michaela Sørensen.
The Doomsday clock clicks ever closer to catastrophe. In fact, in 2023 it is the closest ever since the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist began measuring the metaphorical timepiece. The Doomsday clock moved from 100 seconds to 90 seconds measuring the theoretical point of annihilation. The loss of 10 seconds is due mainly to the War in Ukraine and veiled threats of nuclear warfare as well as the existential threat of climate change facing everyone on earth. The Doomsday clock points out we are living in unprecedented danger.

Proposed Law Could Harm Farmers, Economy. The host for this show is Keli'i Akina. The guest is Joshua Montgomery.
Short-term rentals are controversial across the country. It’s no different in Hawaii County. Some members of the Hawaii County Council are proposing tighter regulations on hosted short-term rentals in the hopes that doing so will add to the county’s housing stock and reduce complaints.
Hawaii island resident Josh Montgomery isn’t so sure these new regulations are a good idea. Montgomery operates the Guard Well Farm in Holualoa and coordinates the Ohana Aina Association, which promotes homestays, farmstays and short-term rentals. Montgomery says many Hawaii island residents rent out rooms in their homes to vacationers to help make ends meet.
On today’s episode of 'Hawaii Together,' Keli'i Akina, president and CEO of the Grassroot Institute, talks with Montgomery about this issue. The pair discuss the reasoning behind the proposed law, how it might affect Hawaii isle residents, and how concerned citizens can make their voices heard.

Sustainable development requires an integrated approach that takes into consideration environmental concerns along with economic development.

A starch-based diet can also cure chronic diseases such as hypertension, Type II diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol to name a few. A starch-based diet can also lower your risk for cancer. He also addresses concerns people might have about getting enough protein, calcium, omega 3s and other nutrients on a plant-based diet.

With all the trouble in Congress and the GOP and thus the government in general, we haven't been doing very much on climate change. And Europe and China have also been distracted from doing anything much. But climate change marches on and remains the elephant in the room, to wit, all the extreme weather, droughts and floods. Do we not understand how it is increasingly changing and undermining our quality of life, public health and the global economy. What should we do. How likely is it that we will take useful steps in time to prevent a dreadful result. What does the future really look like.

Great Actresses. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Greg MacDonald.
The harder life is, the more stress the individual is under, the harder it is to do it alone, the more people need friends. Friends help, friends support, friends are open and honest, friends can be trusted. People become friends by sharing. Friends are open about themselves so their friends can be open about themselves. It is a two-way street. If a person does not share, is not open, how can they be trusted, how can they be a friend? If an actress is seen as acting, they may be interesting, funny, or mysterious, but the audience will have a tough time believing them and their appreciation of the movie limited. Great actresses make the audience believe in their character and help the audience believe in the movie and escape from their stressful life at least for a few hours.

They keep telling us an indictment is coming soon, but the days tick by and it hasn't happened. The facts against Trump in the classified documents case seem clear enough. How has the discovery of classified documents in Biden's Foundation and residence changed things. Is this a trick or just an example of how little respect presidents and government officials in general give to classified documents. How will Trump and his acolytes use this before and after he is indicted. What affect will it have on the possibility of indictment and if he is indicted what affect will it have in the criminal case to follow.

17 new synthetic drugs were identified in 2020 alone. The farmers and drug lords have been replaced by 'brains' in super labs. Drug traffickers act like corporations and corporations act like drug traffickers, with no concern for consumers' well-being, but only for their revenues. In his book, Sam Quinones introduces us to communities all over the country that have been affected by the opioid endemic and that are working hard to deal with it and its consequences. This is not just one addict's problem, it affects all of us; it is the community that will have to offer support, mentorship, training and job opportunities for those trying to overcome their addiction.

Finding Faith in the Depths of Hell. The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf. The guest is Guy Gruters.
Guy Gruters had already completed over 400 combat missions in the O-1 Birddog, only to be shot down as a Misty Fast Forward Air Controller during the war in Viet Nam. After recovering from significant injuries from that combat ejection, he chose to return to the dangerous Misty mission - only to be shot down again.
Badly injured and captured by the enemy, Guy was beaten, tortured, and watched an Air Force Academy classmate die from injuries inflicted by their captors. He descended into a hellish swirl of hatred for his enemies, and had an overwhelming desire to kill himself and deny the North Vietnamese the opportunity to use him as a pawn in the war.
Guy shares the powerful story of finding real faith after months of prayer, and his resulting transition from hate to love - even for his enemies.

Creativity in the Face of Extinction. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is Hunter Craft.
The extinction of species is one of the most compelling problems of our times. The loss of the world's biodiversity negatively impacts human quality of life, cultural heritage, economic growth, the availability of clean drinking water and the potential for scientific discoveries. These are just a few examples of how our world changes when organisms vanish from the earth. Hunter Craft has been working on the front lines of this extinction crisis for the last two years with the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, an organization dedicated to saving some of the world's rarest birds in one of the world's most beautiful places. Instead of being a career field biologist, Hunter originally trained as an anthropologist. It is this background that Hunter is so excited to discuss this with us today. Guest Hunter Craft believes that creativity is a key component of tackling such large and difficult problems as extinction. Creativity must draw inspiration from different places and traditions.

January 17 in Hawaiʻi serves as a solemn day for reflection on the illegal overthrow and a call for moral revolution for a better future. January 17 marks Hawaiʻiʻs monarchy being overthrown. Beyond the businessmen proclaiming a provisional government with the support of the U.S. Boston and Queen Liliʻuokalani preventing bloodshed being forced to abdicate her thrown temporarily, January 17 reminds us of the past atrocities but also the necessity for the nation of Hawaiʻi to be honored and respected. On the 130th commemoration, the people call for a path of peace, truth and reconciliation rooted in human rights for all beginning with Kanaka Maoli.

Could a Lower Tax Burden Help. The host for this show is Keli'i Akina. The guest is Scott Grosskreutz.
It’s no secret that Hawaii has a healthcare crisis. The state has a shortage of more than 700 physicians and more than 3,000 healthcare staff. Meanwhile, many patients report running into significant delays in finding the care they need. For residents of the neighbor islands, these delays can prove fatal.
Dr. Scott Grosskreutz, who practices radiology on Hawaii Island and is an active member of the Hawaii Physician Shortage Crisis Task Force, joins host Keli’i Akina, president and CEO of the Grassroot Institute, to discuss what state lawmakers can do to address these dire concerns.
On today’s episode of 'Hawaii Together,' Akina and Grosskreutz discuss the state’s healthcare staff shortage, its general excise tax and medical licensing laws and what lawmakers can do to make Hawaii a safer and healthier place to live.

Is Europe's Energy Crisis over. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier.
Europe has managed to avoid a serious energy crisis for now, thanks mostly to unusually warm weather and procuring other sources of LNG after Russia cut off supply. Unfortunately, winter is not yet over and current energy prices, even with price caps, are not sustainable. To complicate matters, a large part of the French nuclear power plant fleet is out for maintenance and refueling, which further limits the energy availability. This could signal a dramatic change on energy policy and the path toward zero carbon emissions and renewables.

Trump's Election Denial Virus Spreads. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Chuck Crumpton and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
Brazil just experienced the mirror image of our nation's Capital Jan 6 invasion by hundreds of supporters of former President Bolsonaro. Supporters loyal to the ex-president camped out for days near military bases, demanding the military step in to restore Bolsonaro back to power as president. What was their reason for this drastic interruption of democracy? Would we be surprised to learn that they claimed the election was a 'rigged election'? As Trump called insurrectionists to Washington DC, so did Bolsonaro cry out that the election was stolen due to malfunctioning voting machines and fake news. Almost point by point the invasion of Brazil's Supreme Court, National Congress, and Planalto Palace was identical to our own Capital attack. The major difference was on the day of attack, 209 insurrectionists were taken into custody and 1,000 were arrested the day after the attack. The panel explores to what degree did Jan 6 influence this event in Brazil.

Three Years of Covid. The host for this show is Ken Burtness.
The world was little prepared when the coronavirus storm hit; a storm that would not clear, a storm that knew no boundaries, traveled to all points on the compass, a storm that spared no countries, no cultures, no people; a global storm of biblical proportions. Over six million people have died, over a million in the United States alone. The world is desperate for skies clear of infection. Raincoats in the form of vaccines and boosters are available but they wear out with time, and people are tired of wearing them so many continue to get sick and die. Hard work and diligence are the answers, an answer no one wants to hear.

Mandatory Audit Ignored with No Reasons why. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
Trump often told the American public he would like to share his tax returns if he wasn't under audit by the IRS. His refusal to do so turned into years of legal fighting. However, the recent Supreme Court decision which required the release of those returns to the Democratic Ways and Means Committee revealed an important fact- he was not being audited by the IRS. Trump's response to the delivery of six years of his tax returns to the committee resulted in a warning that this SCOTUS decision will create an atmosphere of open hostilities which will require President Joe Biden to share his tax returns. The fact that President Biden has already shared his tax returns makes Trump's dire threats look irrelevant and points out, yet again, Trump is uninformed. The main takeaways from the Trump tax returns release are discussed by the panel.

Wet wipes disposed into the sewer lines are another big headache that have caused blockages and sewer backups into homes, leading to very costly repairs to include sanitizing the area. Sewer maintenance can involve the use of a camera to identify the blockage as it could be tree roots, too. Learn how to properly maintain our sewer drains and most importantly what not to dispose of into the sewer lines.

What Are the Causes and Factors in Play. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tim Apicella. The guests are Stephanie Dalton and Alexander H.E. Morawa.
Our panel examines the remarkable growth in the rise of autocrats and autocratic governments around the world, including China, Russia, Hungary and so many other places in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, as well as the rise of autocratic right wing movements in other countries, and what this means to the United States, to Europe and to the liberal world order.

How Prepared Are we for this Winter. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier.
As winter gets into full swing, memory of recent capacity events reminds us how vulnerable we can still be when it comes to electric utilities and energy supplies. The Texas and ERCOT cold weather event still fresh, and given the near miss California experienced, questions abound regarding the energy sector's readiness for cold weather peak demand.

Legislative Bills Addressing Bottlenecks. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
Last year’s Legislature approved $600 million to our Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) to reduce the monstrous waiting list of Hawaiians waiting for homestead lands. The catch, however, is that DHHL needs to spend the money, or enter into a contract to spend it, by June 30, 2025. Otherwise, the money goes back to the general fund.
On December 6, 2022, DHHL published a strategic plan to accomplish this lofty goal. In that plan, it noted that Act 279, SLH 2022, the legislative act appropriating the money, also required the agency to submit to the legislature by December 10th any proposed legislation that the agency considered necessary or desirable.
The legislative proposals, although they may be thought of as a wish list, seem to take direct aim at several key items that impede housing development today.

Maribeth Theisen, a Maui psychotherapist that has been fascinated by wildlife since childhood, introduces us to the world of conservation efforts and its challenges, particularly with rhinoceros and cheetahs. Some may roll their eyes at the suggestion to read a book on conservation, but Lawrence Anthony's book reads like a thriller, with many ups and downs and unexpected situations; one enjoys the descriptions of the natural beauty of Africa, the animals and their connection to humans, as well as the history and political conflicts in several African countries. One learns how to navigate the labyrinth of the bureaucracy related to conservation efforts. But more importantly, one can only be inspired to do more, after reading about the dedication of a small group of people to save the last of a species.

The New Wild West of Social Media. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Jeff Portnoy. Elon Musk owns Twitter lock stock and barrel. The first thing he does is terminate those employees that monitor content, hate speech. With his philosophy that there will be few limitations of the First Amendment--free speech--content monitoring is an inconvenient overhead expense. Since his purchase, slurs against Black Americans increased to 3,876 posts per day from 1,282. Antisemitic posts soared 61% in the first two weeks. Slurs against gay men averaged 2,506 prior to Musk's purchase. It now stands at an average of 3,964 posts. QAnon groups paid for Twitter's stamp of approval for 'verified status'. They received it. Trump's Twitter posts to encourage the MAGA GOP is no longer needed. Extremist hate groups are doing just fine on their own, thanks to Elon.

Reform Could Boost Freedom, Create Jobs. The host for this show is Joe Kent. The guest is Jessica Poitras.
What do barbers, plumbers and athletic trainers all have in common? In Hawaii, they all need an occupational license to practice their trade. Unfortunately, these mandatory licenses often do far more harm than good.
Jessica Poitas, legislative counsel for the Institute for Justice — a public interest law firm based in Arlington, Virginia — explains why. Using data from the Institute for Justice’s new report, License to Work 3, Poitras argues that occupational licensing makes it harder for people to work in a given profession, which limits options and raises prices for consumers.
On today’s episode of 'Hawaii Together,' host Keli'i Akina, president of the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, speaks with Poitras about the history of licensing laws, where Hawaii ranks compared to other states and how to change licensing for the better.

With the rapid proliferation of energy storage systems such as batteries and electric vehicles at the residential level, it's only a matter of time before the utilities, automakers and third party applications will either compete or work in partnership with consumers or prosumers. If managed well, utilities can benefit from these resources in a way that can bring a level of granular control unimagined up until recently.

Ridicule, Violent Opposition, Acceptance. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer wrote that all truth goes through three stages: 1st it is ridiculed; 2nd it is violently opposed; 3rd it is accepted as self-evident.
This is what has been happening in our state government. At the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), the possibility of financial irregularities was pooh-poohed at first; when the CliftonLarsonAllen report came out, OHA management and leadership were out to shoot the messenger; and now that the Plante Moran report corroborated many of the findings, the truth is accepted as self-evident.
Now we need to look at the Dept. of Land and Natural Resources. The Auditor's report came out and was dismissed out of hand. Then a House committee ostensibly formed to follow up on the matter came out to attack the Auditor. We are waiting for the third stage now.

How Much is this is Because of Trump. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tim Apicella. The guests are Stephanie Dalton, Vicky Cayetano and Manfred Henningsen.
"Posts and searches for the term "civil war" have recently spiked on social media and podcasts as the midterm elections approach. And a White Christian nationalist movement, which insists that America was created to be a White, Christian nation, is growing in power."
Trump showed his ability to activate bigotry and hatred in his base with his dog whistle. He showed us how to exacerbate violence in the streets of our cities, and incite it in the insurrection at our Capitol. His acolytes have suggested that there will be violence if he is indicted. He opposes gun control and he never condemns the violence but rather implicitly gives license to it, and we see the number of mass murders dramatically increasing. And he is now inviting violent bigots to meet with him at Mar-a-Lago. Police are quitting all of the country. What is the state of violence in America, and how much is Trump responsible for these dangerous increases. How much will it increase in the chaos of his forthcoming campaign. How will that affect our country and our democracy.

What Would Frederick Douglass say. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guests are Peter Adler, David Louie and Chuck Crumpton.
'Posts and searches for the term 'civil war' have recently spiked on social media and podcasts as the midterm elections approach. And a White Christian nationalist movement, which insists that America was created to be a White, Christian nation, is growing in power.'
Stochastic terror — the idea that even if people in power don’t specifically call their followers to violence, by entertaining it as a legitimate tactic or by demonizing a political enemy on a platform capable of reaching millions of people, one of those millions will be inspired to violent action — provides a framework for understanding the current moment. But it’s impossible to know who’s going to perpetrate that violent act, where and how they’ll strike, or even who or what the target could be.

New Special Council, Jack Smith Takes over. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Chuck Crumpton and Jeff Portnoy.
If you map out the many events that led to the Jan 6 attack on the nation's Capital, they may appear random. However, each road was designed to install Trump back as president after his election loss: the 59 lawsuits that failed, the fake state electors that planned to be installed, the MAGA GOP state legislators that coordinated to install them, the plan for Sidney Powell (Trump's attorney) to be appointed as Special Council in order to have the military confiscate voting machines,Trump's quest to intimidate the GA Secretary of State to find an additional 11,780 votes, the pressure brought onto the Arizona's House Speaker to declare the election was filled with fraud, persuading the DOJ that there was enough evidence of fraud to warrant an election investigation, the pressure brought upon VP Mike Pence to not certify the Electoral College votes, and the invitation for thousands of MAGA GOP to march on the Capital. All attempts were connected to reinstall Trump as a two-term president.

Carbon Cash-Back for the Win. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Matthew Geyer.
In the next legislative session a Carbon Cashback bill will be introduced. We discuss how this legislation would help.
Carbon Cashback imposes a tax on all fossil fuels imported into Hawaii. The policy would increase the barrel tax rate for each fossil fuel at the desired carbon tax rateb thereby eliminating the need for additional bureaucracy. The government collects these additional barrel tax revenues and returns them to Hawaii residents. Every adult receives the same amount regardless of income, and every minor receives a half share.
The University of Hawaii has conducted two carbon tax studies that analyzed policies essentially equivalent to the carbon cashback policy described above. These studies found:
-
A state-level carbon tax set at about $50/metric ton of CO2 would reduce Hawai‘i’s cumulative GHG emissions by 10% over twenty years.
-
Tax revenues given back to households in equal shares benefits lower-income households more than proportionately.

Around the World on Two Wheels. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guests are Steven Katz and Tamara Moan.
People love automobiles. Traveling from home to work to social events, driving becomes habit. People have time to think about the next step in their busy day along the familiar route, their driving semi-automatic. Little is seen of the surrounding scenery. Little is heard, felt, or smelt of the environment behind the rolled-up windows with the radio on and the air conditioning going. Astride a bicycle, a person is open to the world. They feel the earth beneath their tires, smell the fragrance of the landscape, hear the living orchestra around them. They feel their bodies powering them forward and with every pedal there are new things to see and wonder at. The trip becomes the joy, not the destination.

Promises to Get AG Garland, Hunter Biden. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Chuck Crumpton.
It didn't take long for the House of Representatives--now under the thin margin of control by the GOP--to roll out their new policy objectives for the future. The only problem: it was very short on policy and more filled with a MAGA GOP wish list to attack US Attorney General Merrick Garland, and a déjà vu moment of a Benghazi-like investigation of Hunter Biden. The AG didn't help himself by appointing a new Special Council to take over the investigations of Trump, his role with the unauthorized storage of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home, and his role in the Jan 6 Capital attack. The panel explores the importance of the GOP's approach to interacting with the Biden Administration.

But Thanksgiving Itself is Not Common. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Roopmati Khandekar.
Roopmati Khandekar, who is from India, helps us understand the extent to which Thanksgiving is celebrated in India. It is not celebrated or recognized as a national holiday in India. But it is observed in the state of Goa under a different name popularly known as 'ladainha' or 'ladin.' 'Ladin' literally mean litany to the Virgin Mary. During the Thanksgiving ritual, people thank God for all the material and spiritual benefits. Christians start preparing for Thanksgiving celebrations by purchasing wheat and gram, candles, wine and colored paper. A platform/altar is decorated with flowers. Celebrations include singing of litany, hymns and prayers. Several other feasts at various times during the year celebrate the theme of giving thanks, such as Onam, celebrated in South India, and Vaisakhi, celebrated in Punjab and Haryana, and is in some ways similar the a bigger holiday, Diwali.

What Can we Expect Now with Energy Policy. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier.
Now that the 2022 midterm elections are over (mostly), we can expect some changes given the modest power shift in the House and possibly the Senate. Additionally, we are seeing a slow creep towards middle right or altogether away from either party and registering as independents. One likely outcome is the stalling of green or renewable policies once championed by the White House, but not as drastic as expected. We have already seen examples of the results of the mismanaged push towards 100% renewables without any regard for reliability.

Indictments, Lawsuits, Comeback, Collapse. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tim Apicella. The guests are Stephanie Dalton and Vicky Cayetano.
Our panel examines what will happen to Trump now. Will he be indicted, convicted and jailed and in what criminal cases and how will that affect things. Will he slilp into depression or manic mode. Will the GOP leadership change their minds, as before, and will he get the GOP nomination. Will his victimhood help him. Will he run on some other party. How will he do in all the litigation he has initiated and which has been initiated against him. Will he be able to stage a political recovery of some kind. For the lack of the adulation he requires, will his excoriation by the media and the GOP drive him to some desperate moves. What affect will all this have on the GOP as a party and its platform, leadership in Congress, the 2024 presidential campaign and for that matter the Big Lie advocates in Congress, in state government and on the Supreme Court. What effect will it have on Trump's base.

A Historical Perspective. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
We focus on the City and County of Honolulu, where efforts are under way to deal with the highly backlogged state of affairs at our Department of Planning and Permitting. Apparently, one reason for the backlog is the sheer number of projects that are in the queue. The lion’s share were for renovations and maintenance. But when do you even need to get a building permit for renovations or maintenance? We go through the recent 20 years or so of Honolulu ordinances.

How to Repair Maui's Broken Housing Systems. The host for this show is Mihaela Stoops. The guest is Jason Economou.
In 'Fixer Upper', Jenny Schuetz describes the causes of America's broken housing systems and presents a variety of solutions. Maui is dealing with a severe affordable housing crisis; Jason Economou, REALTORS Association of Maui Government Affairs Director, and Mihaela Stoops discuss which solutions could be implemented in Maui and why other solutions are not viable for Maui.
Home ownership has been regarded as a way to build wealth, yet this philosophy has led to the current housing crisis, primarily through tax policies that are more favorable to owners than to renters.
Sea level rising will further reduce the existing housing inventory and we can not easily proceed with coastal retreat and rebuilding. How is Maui dealing with this issue?

MAGA GOP Party Influence Diminish. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
Trump may have seen his better days as far as the leader of the GOP. The lost opportunity to capture the Senate and barely squeak out victory in the House of Representatives speaks volumes of how MAGA GOP candidates failed to persuade Independents and moderate GOP voters to back them. GOP finger-pointing at Trump's hand-picked extreme election deniers ultimately point back to Trump. As Trump's words and Influence lost the House in 2018, lost the 2020 presidential election (and two Georgia Senate seats), and now the 2022 mid-term election, the question has to be asked: Is Trump's king making ability and his hold on the GOP over? What further damage and loss can he bring to Republicans in 2024? The panel explores these questions and more.

Fascism Impacting Societal Minority Groups. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and George Casen.
An Italian Jewish family is living on their urban estate that adjoins the rural part of their city. They have been totally integrated into the economic and social fabric of their city, Ferrara. As the movement of Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini progresses, their young adults are restricted from participating in various normal activities. Barred from participating in tennis games, they invite their friends to play on the tennis court within their property. Scenes progress between these young adults, their friends and family members. The freedoms they were once accustomed to are gradually taken away from this family and other Jewish families. Their young son, Alberto, dies from a fever. The movie ends with every member of the family taken away by the authorities to be sent to concentration camps. The discussion focuses on how prominent members of a society can be made non-persons and lose their existence overnight in a Fascist administration.

We explore the reopening of Japan with Eric Johnston who is Deputy Editor for the Japan Times, which is the most influential English-based new publication in Japan. Eric covers politics in Japan plus other topics including Hospitality. He joins us from Niseko in Hokkaido Japan, which is preparing now for the return of foreign tourists for the winter skiing season.

Based upon research by Project Censored and others, the owners and managers of some corporate mass media outlets also have personal connections with the fossil fuel industry, a fact that has being significantly under-reported by those very same media outlets. We also discuss research on the increasing presence of microplastics worldwide, in seafood, and in our bodies, and in the lungs of lung cancer patients.

Finding Comfort in a World of Pain. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Daniel Lev.
Joseph Campbell told people, 'Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.' Great words, but hard to follow. When pain is everywhere, on television, in newspapers, all over the internet, pain that others are suffering, pain that countries are suffering, pain that the world is suffering, it is hard to find that place inside. When the pain is in people’s bodies it is hard to turn away from pain, it is hard to refocus. But if people can turn away from the agony even for a short time, the relief that is felt washes over the soul, relaxes it, calms it, helping people to function and to deal with life despite dark skies and threatening storms.

The Power of Reflection on Creativity. The host for this show is Phyllis Blees. The guest is Khotan Shahbazi-Harmon.
Khotan Shahbazi-Harmon, multiple award-winning journalist working at the intersection of leadership, spirituality, society, innovation, and technology, introduces us to the wisdom teachings of the Baháʼí faith.
The Bahá’u’lláh teaches 'The source of crafts, sciences and arts is the power of reflection. Make ye every effort that out of this ideal mine there may gleam forth such pearls of wisdom and utterance as will promote the well-being and harmony of all the kindreds of the earth.'
From this teaching, Khotan and Philomena Blees have a deep and heartfelt discussion on sourcing creativity from 'the power of reflection'—spirituality.
They discuss: the source of creativity, the purpose of creativity in our world, how our creative endeavors speak to the truth of who we are, how we make meaning of our existence and flourish in the world, how creativity serves our twofold purpose to: pursue our own spiritual and intellectual growth and contribute to the transformation of society.

Could Regulatory Sandboxes Help. The host for this show is Jonathan Helton. The guest is Rees Empey.
Hawaii is one of the most difficult states in which to start a business, according to a recent survey by CNBC. But Rees Empey, director of state government affairs at the Utah-based Libertas Institute, says one way Hawaii lawmakers could make it easier is to establish more regulatory 'sandboxes,' such as the one it already has for cryptocurrencies.
On today’s episode of Hawaii Together, host Jonathan Helton, Research Associate from the Grassroot Institute, talks with Empey about what regulatory sandboxes are and how Hawaii could deploy them to foster innovation.

Musk is Wrecking the Twitter Platform. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Eric Kallander.
Our panel examines how Twitter was doing before Musk, and how Musk has changed it since he closed on his 44 billion purchase. Is this intentional? Twitter has picked up destructive misinformation and hate speech since then, and many advertisers and users have terminated their accounts. With the summary termination of Twitter's moderating staff and systems since Musk closed, and considering the possibility that he will let Trump and other abusers back on, many users are terminating their accounts.

Green Homes Sell Well. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Judy Sobin.
Americans are now acutely aware of the dangers of climate change and want to contribute to global cooling. They can do this by ensuring that the homes they buy are as energy efficient as possible. Therefore, preparing the home to be as efficient as possible is a major selling point. Plus, Hawai‘i’s sky-high electricity prices give buyers every incentive to look for homes with the lowest possible electricity usage.

Prepping for the NERC RC Exam. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier.
Becoming a bulk electric grid system operator requires certification from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC). While that is a defining threshold, it is only the first step in the development of a system operator. In order to reliably operate the bulk electric grid or system (BES), certified system operators must maintain this certification with at least 200 Continuing Education hours over a 3-year period, comprising of on the job training, system operations simulations and a substantial amount of applied theory and hands-on instruction. Unfortunately, the industry has experienced a significant knowledge drain with a large portion of the most experienced retiring or pursuing consulting opportunities. Given this gap, the industry is attracting and welcoming applicants from industries outside of the typical electric utility talent pool. This has led to some challenges in the pass rate of this exam and a retooling of the initial training programs.

Cracking Down on Vacation Homes. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
One of the ideas that has been kicking around in the state and county legislatures for a couple of years now is the idea of an ʻempty homes tax.ʻ The idea seems to be gaining steam now, since our federal court has struck down Honolulu’s recent ordinance clamping down on transient vacation rentals.
Basically, the idea is that if you own a house or condo, you don’t live in it, and you don’t allow anyone else to live in it, then you need to pay a hefty tax.
The devil here is in the details. How can such a tax be enforced? The Honolulu Real Property Assessment Division has misgivings.
And there has been a parallel effort at the State legislature to enact a tax at that level. Can it succeed?

MAGA GOP Spins Attack. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Vicky Cayetano.
After a brutal hammer attack against Paul Pelosi, MAGA GOP took a new path to spin reality, versus acknowledging that violence has no place in society to settle political grievances. Unlike what occurred five years ago when a shooter opened fire at a congressional softball game, only a couple key Republicans spoke out to condemn a political motivated attack and plot to kidnap the current Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi. When Representative Steve Scalise (R-LA) was shot, Paul Ryan (the Speaker of the House) and Nancy Pelosi immediately spoke out to condemn the act. Five years later, we hear only crickets from House Minorty Leader Kevin McCarthy. Jan 6 was the precursor of violent events to politicians. The panel examines the GOP indifference of violence acted upon our political leaders.

Was 2020 a Replay of Putin's Help in 2016. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tim Apicella.
We know Putin helped Trump distract his way out of the Access Hollywood debacle in the 2016 election. In The Road to Unfreedom, Yale historian Tim Snyder detailed the things Putin did to help Trump win the 2016 election, including inappropriate connections with Flynn, Manafort, Stone, Juliani and other Trump officials and acolytes, news and political distractions, hacking and social media misinformation.
Our panel examines the degree to which Putin and Trump used the same playbook in the 2020 election in delaying, derailing or distracting investigations and indictments in the Mueller investigation, the two impeachments, the Jan 6 insurrection, the theft of government documents and the various other civil and criminal claims made against him, and how they may be using that playbook now in the 2022 elections.

House Reps Green, McCarthy Ditch Ukraine. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Chuck Crumpton and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
Yesterday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had to publicly disagree with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy about the GOP's support for Ukraine with both financial aid and military weapons. Senator McConnell's commitment to stand with Ukraine was in sharp contrast to McCarthy's statements of 'not writing blank checks to Ukraine' and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's words of 'I'm tired of the USA spending billions to stop Russia in a border dispute versus using the money at the southern border'. Putin most likely appreciated McCarthy and Green's words of support to undermine the EU and USA's effort to blunt the largest, brutal invasion of a European sovereign nation since Germany's invasion of Poland in September 1939. The panel looks at who in the GOP is giving Putin either a pass or behind-closed-door praise.

Introspection Inspires Creativity. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Patrice Federspiel.
Art moves people. It spurs their emotions whether they find themselves taping their feet to music, or flying in their armchair reading a book, or being carried away while gazing at a painting. Most have wished they could create beautiful music, or write brilliant words, or paint great art. But to grapple with the arts is hard. It is easier to find excuses not to try. The pandemic and its resultant time alone deprived many people of these handy excuses. Some people did discover the joy of art. Yet many more could not take advantage of this opportunity. Fear got in the way. Fear of the blank canvas, fear of empty pages, fear of the musical instrument long unused. To conquer fear, one needs freedom and inspiration.

From Work-life Balance to Wholeness. The host for this show is Phyllis Blees. The guest is Michelle Waters.
Author and leadership coach Michelle Waters shares her journeys to discovering the unlimited and timeless source of creativity achieved in a life of wholeness.
Her first was her professional life 'exterior' journey to achieve a 'whole life' through work-life balance. It culminated in the book: The Orange Line: A Woman’s Guide to Integrating Career, Family & Life. Waters shares her methodology for accessing the 'Orange Line'—a new career track for enjoying a robust, whole life which integrates work, family, and self—and avoiding the debilitating effect of 'The Feminine Filter.'
Her second was her personal life 'interior' journey to a life beyond the Orange Line, namely to a life of wholeness and our personal reservoir of creativity. We learn how to take the interior journey—one of inner transformation, regardless of complexity, chaos and uncertainty.

CSOs and Evidence Collection, Preservation. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Nicolás Süssmann.
Eurojust, the Genocide Network and the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC released guidelines to assist CSOs in their efforts to document international crimes and gross human rights violations. CSOs play a vital role before, during and after investigative processes. They are valuable partners who assist criminal investigators and other actors within national and international courts to seek accountability and justice. CSOs work in documenting, monitoring and reporting international crimes and provide a bevy of evidence that may be admissible in court. The evidence must be collected and preserved by these organizations with due diligence in accordance with certain standards. It must also be done with a level of care and consideration for the parties involved, especially the victims, whose safety is of utmost importance. In this episode, Nicolás Süssmann discusses with host Jay Fidell the challenges and experience of evidence collection and documentation from the CSO perspective.

Hawaii received – you guessed it – an 'F.' The report compared assets with bills, and the shortfall came to about $37,000 per taxpayer.
What can we as a state do to pull ourself out of this mess?

Trump Indictments on Hold for Mid-Terms. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Vicky Cayetano.
There has been a lot of discussion and hand wringing about what might happen if the former president of the United States is indicted for federal or state crimes. It's true it has never been done before. However, it happened against a sitting vice president in the summer of 1973. Spiro T. Agnew was charged and convicted of federal tax evasion. He resigned in shame and Gerald Ford became the 40th vice president in 1974. The DOJ was healthy then, and staff was not infected with the Trump loyalty virus.
Is Trump above the law? Will he get a pass or be indicted by the attorney general for crimes pertaining to taking classified documents, his role in the Jan 6 attack on the Capital, his pressure to influence Georgia's secretary of state seeking 11,780 votes, or financial crimes in NYC? Is an indictment forthcoming? Only our general attorney knows for sure.

Most will Qualify for COVID Tax Relief. The host for this show is Chivon Garcia. The guest is Jerry Packer. The Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a special tax refund created by the CARES Act, helping businesses with 500 employees or less. Many Hawaiian restaurants have received their refund, but most aren’t aware of the ERC tax credit. Many restaurant owners believe they don't qualify because they received PPP funds, or because their company’s income has grown, both of which are incorrect.Your food service business only needs to meet one of the conditions to qualify for the ERC: Your business suffered a significant decline in quarterly revenue for 2020 or 2021 compared to the same quarter in 2019. Or a government order had a significant impact on your operations. Common reasons to qualify usually stem from social distancing, limiting capacity, supply chain issues, reduced operating hours, etc. Many businesses offer ERC tax relief services without doing due diligence. Omega Accounting Solutions treats your restaurant with a stakeholder mentality to ensure your ERC is filed correctly.

Getting out of Tobacco Prison. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Toni Baran.
The Coronavirus Pandemic has clogged hospitals and ICUs, and kept many people who needed treatment for other problems away from getting help, medical health and psychological help. Addicts need both. During the first year of the pandemic, tobacco sales increased for the first time in 20 years, up 14%. At the same time, the number of people trying to quit and the number people who did not even try to quit declined significantly for the first time since 2011. Drug addiction is a killer and Tobacco kills more people every year than all the other drugs combined. Adding Covid to Tobacco makes these two deadly partners.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Adam Strubeck.
The discussion introduces the Federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) that provides for $550 Billion in new federal investment in America’s infrastructure and what its benefits could be for Hawaii. It also projects to add 2 million jobs per year nationally over the next decade. This legislation provides a combination of grants and loans to support reliability and resilience of the electrical grid, domestic clean energy supply chains, and develop new energy technology. Projected spending for Hawaii includes $1.5 billion over 5 years for highways and bridges, $100 million for high-speed internet coverage, $316 million for public transport, and $18 million for electric vehicle charging. HNEI has distilled out the major highlights from the bill to make it easier to follow and has included a user-friendly summary on the HNEI Hawaii Energy Policy Forum Website.

Trump's Whataboutism Distracts his Crimes. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Chuck Crumpton.
The definition of whataboutism is being accused, but rather than address or challenge the allegation, there is an immediate rush to point the finger at others to either diminish the seriousness of the allegation or deflect, distract the direct charge. That's exactly what Trump is attempting to do with the charges of taking classified, top secret documents. Trump first stated the FBI stuffed top secret documents into boxes in his home. When that didn't pass the giggle test, he said Obama did the same thing. The National Archives immediately stated Barrack Obama legally requested and obtained presidential records. Trump now has created yet another whataboutism and points his finger to former President Bush Jr for taking 'millions' of documents. Where does this end? When will the Eleventh District Court of Appeals put an end to Trump's strategy to stall the FBI's and DOJ to conduct their investigation?

How to Write Your Bestseller. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is Patrick Snow.
In recent years, everything that you learned to build your businesses changed and is no longer effective. You were taught to spend money on advertising. Then to leverage the internet by doing social media. Neither of these strategies may be achieving desired results.
What is the better way to attract clients? Patrick Snow believes the better way is to write and publish your book, give it away to your prospects and attract more paying clients. Guest Patrick Snow believes this flat out works.
Publishing your book allows you to stand out from the crowd, boost your credentials and gives you even more credibility. To succeed in applying this marketing secret to your business, you will want to create a bestseller.
Patrick discusses the five dynamic-proven requirements for becoming a best selling author. By using his strategy and applying his five requirements, Patrick has sold more than a quarter-million copies of his book, in five languages and throughout 108 countries.

EV's with Solar for Greater Reliability. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier.
Given the push towards electrification of the transportation industry, it is only a matter of time before we see utilities, car owners and automakers agree to a protocol for making those EVs available to support the grid. Additionally, there is more to this development than just supplying watts to the grid. Utilities seem to be encouraging and even incentivizing the installation of level 2 chargers for what can ultimately be the inclusion of these devices into their generation mix.

Including Bad Storms, Floods and Droughts. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Peter Hoffenberg.
It goes beyond eruptions like Vesuvius and Krakatoa. Yes, they have affected human history. But to one degree or another, disasters always have an effect on human history. These days, climate change is giving us a smorgasbord of disasters, from sea level rise to extreme weather, to adverse environmental changes in the air, the ocean and on the land. And of course, this gives us wildfires, floods, droughts, extinctions, starvation, violence and famines. These environmental and often violent changes affect our water and food supply, a breakdown of our social structures, and forced migrations all over the world. These changes are happening faster now and having an increasingly profound effect on humanity. They are affecting and changing human history. It is critically important that we appreciate the effects they have on humanity and our future.

Public-Private Partnerships. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika. Our state has a love-hate relationship with public-private partnerships (P3). P3s are where public (government) interests and funds partner with private companies to cooperate and share risks and benefits. The most recent and visible example is our iconic Aloha Stadium. This turn-around in the middle of the project is unfortunate. But it is not the only instance of P3s getting sacked. The debate about P3s seems to have many elements that are similar to the debate about privatizing some government services. Would it be justifiable if P3 can provide those goods or services at lower cost to the taxpayers without an appreciable reduction in quality? Would it be justifiable if the vendor is as transparent and accountable to the public as the government agency is or was? If we think it is good for our State, what risk is there that in a few years the government leaders will change and pull out the rug?

Looking at his Disruptions, it Seems Unlikely. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guests are Stephanie Dalton, Jeff Portnoy and Chuck Crumpton.
So far, the Trump-GOP has voted to support Ukraine, but how long will that last if it takes Congress in November. Our panel examines Trump's history regarding Ukraine in order to connect the dots on what will happen in January. Trump is still the cult leader of the party, so we need to take a look at Trump's attempts to corrupt Volodymyr Zelensky and the first impeachment, the Mueller investigation, James Comey, Steele Report, Trump's lies about his projects with Putin in Russia, his secret conversations with Putin, his strange remarks to Putin criticizing US intelligence agencies, his open admiration for Putin and other autocrats who support Putin, Trump's silence and lack of criticism about Putin's invasion of Ukraine, the Trump-Russian flags that appeared at the recent CPAC conference, and Trump's compulsive need to criticize anything Joe Biden does in Ukraine and otherwise in advance of the mid-term elections.

Now it's Nuclear Threats and Sham Land Grab. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Chuck Crumpton.
The USA and EU have been cautious not to accelerate the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Fighter planes, aggressive offensive weapons have been withheld from Ukraine with the claim that only defensive assistance has been given. This week Putin raised the stakes by conducting a sham vote to declare four regions of Ukraine as now part of Russia. With Putin's announcement, he declared the use of any and all means to protect Russia was not a bluff. All this bluster as his troops run in an all-out retreat from the very lands he just declared as new Russian territory. Obviously, they were in a frantic hurry and didn't have time to read Putin's victory memo. What new effective strategy should USA, EU and NATO now implement to counter Putin's new ploy? The panel examines this recent development.

We discuss why this is so, and what does it mean for Canada's economy and energy exports.

On September 27th the leaders of the LDP held an official state funeral for Abe, which had a very mixed response on Japan. The cost of the Abe state funeral was estimated at $12 million which was higher than the estimated cost of the recent funeral for Queen Elizabeth.

It's a three-part series that covers the evolution and impact of anti-semitism in the U.S. during the 1930s and 1940s, and how many Americans and American government officials supported Hitler and Facism in those years, even while Hitler was executing his anti-semitic campaigns in Germany and in the countries he took over during the war, and even while the Jews in those countries were losing all their rights, businesses and property and ultimately their lives in the death camps and otherwise (2/3rd of the Jews in Europe were murdered during the war) . Why didn't America care? Why didn't it offer visas to people whose lives hung in the balance? What is it about the American character that let this happen? Have we lost our morality/. Are we seeing the same thing today?

Enter Movies, Exit Covid. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Greg MacDonald.
People are Covid weary, tired of being lock-downed, confined, cut off from being with people, from enjoying fun activities, from going to their favorite places. Now with loosening restrictions and coronavirus numbers falling, doors are opening, and one of the most welcome doors reopening is the local movie house. Plus, the reopening is slow and relatively safe. Outside a few hyped blockbusters, most of the movies in the multiplex are sparsely attended. People can maintain a comfortable distance from other patrons and there is no crowd at the refreshment stand. Best of all, movies can bring people joy, laughs and a happy ending, things too often missing from nightly news casts.

As mid-term election are only weeks away, the pressing question must be answered: what will 2020 MAGA GOP election deniers do if their candidates do not win?

Are state and federal law enforcement agencies prepared to prevent or respond to the potential threat of violence? Also, what will the shape of politics take if election-denial candidates win and take control he House, Senate, or both? The panel examines these issues for discussion.

Unresolved Issues 8 Years After. The host for this show is Nicolás Süssmann Herrán. The guest is Ximena Medellin.
On September 26, 2014, 43 students were abducted and then forcibly disappeared from Ayotzinapa Rural Teacher Training College in Iguala, Mexico. The school was well known for its left-winged tendencies, and the students were participating near the date of the incident in demonstrations against teacher hiring policies. On the night of the disappearance, the bus that transported the students had a clash with the police, where the latter fired shots against the buses. After that, 43 students went missing, and the investigations have been contested and inconclusive regarding what happened and who is responsible. In 2022, the Commission of Truth and Access to Justice set for the case issued its report and said that the State had responsibility for the disappearances. In this episode, host Nicolas Sussmann and guest Ximena Medellin unpack the most recent developments in the case and discuss unresolved issues.

Potholes Ahead for Drivers. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
Hawaii Department of Transportation has been studying implementation of a Road Usage Charge (RUC). Such a charge would be assessed to a driver based on how many miles they’ve driven on our highways and byways, and it’s (at least in theory) designed to replace the fuel tax that is now the primary contributor to the state’s Highway Fund.
But there is a contingent of people who are pushing a carbon tax. A carbon tax collects money to pay for the societal costs of pollution, global warming, and other environmental damage wrought by fossil fuel burning. Given that many of the environmental damages have already occurred, the goal of the tax is to fix the past damage and not simply compensate for current social costs. Furthermore, it is there to disincentivize (i.e., penalize) fossil fuel use. Rather than getting rid of the existing tax on gasoline, they want to jack it up big time.

How a Sector of the GOP Defines Deplorable. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guest is Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
What could destroy a political career not so long ago? Monkey Business. That was the name of the boat Gennifer Flowers was photographed sitting on the lap of Democratic Candidate Gary Hart. It was enough for followers to turn away as they had expected standards of how a candidate should behave. Fast forward to the beginning of Trump's bid for president: a Hollywood Access video describing his love of sexually groping women, calling war heroes and gold star families as non-heroes, setting a policy to rip children away from the arms of parents at the boarder, calling WWI veterans 'suckers and losers', overtly lying about the deadly nature of COVID19 (but admitting to journalist Bob Woodward the truth), denying his election loss, and willing to bully officials to find 11,780 votes and incite thousands to attack the Capital. So, why hasn't the MAGA GOP turned away from Trump? What is it about FL Gov. DeSantis's stunt to dump legal asylum seekers to Martha's Vineyard that MAGA GOP admire?

We discuss the political apathy and lack of civic education and engagement among a significant portion of youth in the U.S. today: why this is, what its causes are, and the reasons for its lack of engagement in our political systems on the local, state and national levels. We discuss how we got here and why, the role of social and mass media in this situation, as well as the role our educational system plays in it. Finally, we discuss the critical importance of engaging in this conversation, as well as the deeper reasons for the apparent lack of political engagement by many young people in the larger community and society.

Our panel discusses the state and extraordinary growth of social media in the U.S. and the world today. While some people, and lots of your people spend their days and lives on social media, the presence of spies, liars, hackers and conspiracists make social media confusing and dangerous to the public and our democracy. There is essentially no regulation or regulating body charged with or able to properly regulate social media. Can social media be trusted to regulate itself. Should government be doing this. What agency should be doing it. How can government regulate social media without violating the First Amendment.

The Joy of Writing. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Penny Pence Smith.
At the beginning of the pandemic, personal contact was severely curtailed and voice contact was made more difficult, but written contact was almost always available. In the quiet of isolation, people could always pick up a pencil or pen, tap on a keyboard and share thoughts and fears and dreams with the important people in their life. Faced with adversity, it was a time to talk of important things, deep feelings, and thoughts; a time to set aside social chit-chat; a time to say things too long unsaid. This talk could be factual past and current events, or imaginative of made-up stories that communicate obliquely and deeply what people want to, need to tell other people. Although restrictions have eased this, deeper communication is still very much needed.

DOM Publisher’s 'Chicago Architectural Guide' gives orientation and inspiration for Martin Despang’s scavenger hunt in Chicago in May 2022. It refreshes previous impressions and eye witnessing memories of DeSoto Brown and Martin Despang from combined from the 60’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s.

Writing Your Narrative Story. The host for this show is Phyllis Blees. The guest is Susie McDaniel.
Human creativity springs from human beings. All that we are is what we bring to that moment in time, when creativity is called for at all stages of the family life cycle: from job changes, relocations, grief, and loss on the one hand, and simply what to make for dinner or where to go on vacation on the other hand. We learn that our biography is creativity.
We learn how to create our biographies from Susie McDaniel, Ph.D. whose professional life’s work has been in family systems and family communication. We learn her signature method for guiding a decade of students at Loyola Marymount University to write, and in some cases produce, their own Story-Corps narratives of seminal events that led to creative breakthroughs.
This is a very practical approach to self-discovery in the quest to connect the seeds of our creativity to the needs of our life and the world. The seeds are our own family roles, rules, rituals, conflicts, learning, inherited traits, vision, values, and beliefs.

Government Watchdogs Look the Other Way. The host for this show is Keli'i Akina. The guest is Randy Roth.
Too many government watchdog entities appear to have been willfully ignoring, or even tacitly approving, some of Hawaii’s most egregious corruption scandals, according to Randy Roth, law professor emeritus at the University of Hawaii William S. Richardson School of Law.
Those include Honolulu Police Commission, the state and county ethics commissions, the state commissions of judicial conduct and judicial selection, and the state Office of Disciplinary Counsel.
On today’s episode of Hawaii Together, host Keli‘i Akina, president and CEO of the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, talks with Roth about why such watchdogs have been paper tigers in the face of corruption all around them.

Accountability in the Digital Age. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Silvia Ottinetti.
With the development of information and communication technology, new investigative techniques and types of evidence have emerged, which may lead to more efficient, less resource-intensive investigations. This could help the ICC overcome challenges such as a lack of state support, security concerns, and capacity. This growing reliance on open source material in international criminal justice, however, should not be viewed as a panacea for the Court's shortcomings. The Prosecutor faces various challenges while conducting open source investigations, prompting increased collaboration with NGOs.

Reliance on Renewables and Reliability. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier.
Go to HSI.com for more information
As we have seen energy concerns play out this week, it is becoming painfully evident that a shift towards 100% renewables cannot happen as legislated by wishful thinkers. California and parts of the western United States have been dealing with severe drought, heat waves and now constraints impacting their ability to meet their peak energy demands. As this same state passed legislation to exclude internal combustion vehicles from their roads by 2035, they also urgently asked electric vehicle owners to delay charging them due to the utility concerns with supplying that demand. Examples like these, though painful, can prove quite useful to fine tune the approach to better leverage renewable resources while balancing that with a diversified energy mix.

Our panel takes a closer look at Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and the specific language of that section in the context of he case decided in the State Court of New Mexico a day or two ago disqualifying a GOP official in New Mexico from holding office because of his participation in the insurrection.
Will this precedent stick on appeal. Will it stick in the federal courts, the federal courts of appeals and the Supreme Court. By its language, this section could block Trump from running in 2024, but there will have to be clarifications and interpretations dealing with whether conviction of a crime is necessary to bar an official from holding office, and what crimes and their connection with the events of January 6th will suffice.

Debunking the Remote Buyer Myth. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika. The guests are Malia Hill and Jensen Ahokovi.
Hawaii is renowned for high housing prices.
Lawmakers have blamed them on wealthy out-of-state buyers with little more than anecdotal evidence. As a result, lawmakers have proposed punishing new taxes such as an empty homes tax and steep hikes in the state conveyance tax.
But a study from the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii analyzes the evidence and debunks this theory. We hear from the people who did the research and looked at the data, and we come to different conclusions about the cause of the problem and more effective ways to address it.

This discussion is based on the 5th edition of 'Bridges Out of Poverty' by Ruby K Payne and others. The book explains the causes of poverty and teaches individuals, agencies, non-profits and for-profit companies what to do to reduce poverty. Money is not the answer--or at least not the only one--when an individual needs to know and navigate the hidden rules of the social class that he/she wants to move to. The current war in Ukraine, as well as the economic consequences of Covid, are pushing more people to living in poverty and we community members need to know how to help. We narrow the discussion to Hawaii's challenges: the affordable housing crisis, the high cost of child care, and the limited means of mass transportation.

New Delays for the DOJ Investigation. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Chuck Crumpton.
The decision and order of Judge Eileen Cannon, a Trump last minute appointee, is very troubling. Is it a political decision? How much delay and damage does it do to the DOJ investigation? Will the DOJ appeal, and what can we expect on such an appeal, in result and in delay? Is a Special Master really necessary? Who will be appointed? What exactly will the Special Master do? Is there really an executive privilege here? Did Trump have any conceivable right to take and keep these documents at Mar-a-Lago? How will this affect the January 6th Committee investigation? How will this affect the November elections?

Best Shoulder Exercises to Regain Function. The host for this show is Christine Lynders.
Many people suffering shoulder pain or rotator cuff tendinitis or tears don't quite know what caused their injury. They reached for something and felt pain. They slept on it and now it hurts. They can't put their shirt on without pain. They can't raise their arm in full range of motion. They now can't enjoy their activities and sports or exercise as a result. Why? In today's episode, Christine teaches you everything you need to know to get your shoulders back in action and healthy whether you have impingement, tendinitus, rotator cuff injury or frozen shoulder.

In the third installment of our series on 'Project Censored,' we discuss what 'news' is, what distinguishes it from opinion and junk food news; how junk food news operates, and what its effects are on the viewing/listening public. We also talk about Big Tech censorship, ongoing attacks on journalists and press freedom in the U.S. and globally, briefly highlighting the cases of Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. We close with a discussion of critical media literacy - what it is, and what tools are available to ordinary citizens to think more critically about what they see and hear on TV, the Internet, and the plethora of social media platforms available today.

The Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) Program is a key tool used by DoD and its partners to protect the military's ability to promote compatible land uses, enhance climate change adaption measures, and restore habitat near installations and ranges to preserve DoD's mission. The DoD established the REPI Program in 2003 to reduce military-community-environmental conflicts resulting from urban sprawl and loss of habitat surrounding installations and ranges. The REPI Program allows for mutually beneficial partnerships among DoD, state and local governments, and private organizations that are a key component of REPI projects help sustain installations' operations and resilience.

The Power of Sisterhood. The host for this show is Sharon Thomas Yarbrough. The guests are Crystal Kwok and Sequoia Carr-Brown.
Sisterhood is a bond between women who share common goals and can come together to move the agenda forward. Sisterhood starts out as a group of women with common interests. Sisterhood is the key to empowerment, social change, and freedom. Unity helps us work and live together peacefully. We feel connected with each other and all living things. We value the specialness of each person as a gift. With unity, we accomplish more than any one of us could do alone. Our sisters remind us, by their very steadfastness, that truth, beauty and goodness exist in the world, and that no matter what, there are and always will be people loving people through thick and thin.

How Would his Departure Affect America. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guests are Stephanie Dalton and Jeff Portnoy.
Our panel addresses what happens if Trump left the political stage. How would that affect America. Nobody lasts forever especially when they're pushing 80. What would happen to his sycophants and acolytes, to his base and unthinking loyalists. What would happen to the racial tension in the country and the division and bigotry. What would happen to American foreign policy, the EU, NATO, Ukraine and Russia and for that matter China and Taiwan. What would happen to all the various investigations against him and his friends. What would happen to the GOP, the 2022 elections and the presidential elections in 2024. Of course, it's hard to say but we do know that just as his presence has a daily affect on things, so would his absence.

Energy, Water, and Civilization. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Toby Kinkaid.
Energy is fundamental to everything we do in our modern world. Water affects every aspect of life in our country. Surprisingly 44% of all water used in America is used for one thing - cooling down thermal power plants. That's a lot of water! And as rivers and lakes heat up, even more water is needed. Projecting forward, even more electricity is going to be needed to run air conditioning systems and charge thousands of battery electric vehicles. Some places are already running out of water. This is a big problem that requires big solutions.
Using water in three ways through the ages, a new way of applying water to our energy needs, is discussed. The infrastructure debate between All Battery EVs (BEV), and Fuel Cell EVs (FCEV) is discussed. A new standardized power block to provide both DC Fast Charge, and Hydrogen fueling using the same infrastructure is discussed, providing a universal platform supporting all types of EVs.

The Joy of Books. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Mary Burtness.
For two and a half years Coronavirus has demanded peoples’ attention, kept people mired in negative thoughts, ideas, and stories. Regular pastimes and joys have been neglected or forgotten. And yet some people found this difficult period an opportunity to reconnect with friends and family. Many found virtual book clubs and book sharing as a way to talk to old and new friends. Many libraries may have had to shut their doors, but they did not have to shut their books. Safe pick-up and return procedures allowed library circulation to keep flowing and people to keep reading. Words and friends are critical helpers during dark times.

Symbolic Ceremonies from Afar. The host for this show is Xoe Heeney. The guest is Barrett Agent.
Barrett Agent was born in Chicago, raised there and in Kenai, AK. He went to university in SoCal; graduated from Chapman University (Pre-Law); then moved to Phuket, Thailand; where he established a corporate team building consultancy which Barrett now runs remotely.
While private individuals have been doing very simplistic forms of online weddings since the late 90’s, nobody had ever offered such a service on a commercial basis (the only thing that came close was a totally text-based, free online service that is no longer operating). Barrett also took the whole process to a higher level by using broadcasting software and video call services such as Skype and Zoom to bring the couple and himself into a customizable virtual setting.
VOWs offers creative and open-minded couples an alternative way to celebrate their bonds, via real-time online wedding and renewal of vow ceremonies. Based on the amount of tears seen over the years, they are just as emotional as real life ceremonies!

Amazing is it not that despite all of Trump's legal troubles, his Congressional sycophants, beginning with Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy and many others, are still with him, supporting him and sucking up to him no matter what. What makes them do that. What are the common denominators that bring them together to join in his lies. Let's identify them, and see what binds them to him and to each other. What would it take to have them distance themselves. They are unthinking, and blind to his machinations. And these days they are more and more dangerous.

Colombian Policy Under the New Government. The host for this show is Nicolás Süssmann Herrán. The guest is Álvaro Salgado.
In the last couple of weeks, the new Colombian government has been remarkably active in its foreign policy and international scenarios, and its actions have led to controversy. The country was absent from the OAS plenary on condemning human rights abuses in Nicaragua. The president signed a letter of support to the Argentinian vice-president, currently subject to judicial investigation and for whom a prosecutor requested 12 years in prison; and days later, it called for a negotiated agreement to the conflict in Ukraine in what seemed to equate both parties instead of condemning the Russian aggression. Finally, diplomatic relationships with Venezuela were re-established. In this show, Álvaro Salgado discusses with host Nicolás Sussmann if this is the expectation from what promised to be a new left, or more of the same where the left in Latin America turns a blind eye to the abuses of its allies to establish a solid block.

The Secret Sauce to Creativity. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is Ann Herrmann-Nehdi.
There is one thing we all need to know about our brains. Our brain is a pattern seeking machine. Throughout the course of our lives we build those patterns and they become second nature, in essence our mental default. Those patterns can get in the way of our creative process. In order to tap into our innate creativity, the first place to start is understanding how our thinking patterns work. Once those patterns are identified you can learn to stop and think, stretching beyond the patterns to tap into all of the thinking and creativity available--thereby leveraging our whole brains. Guest Ann Herrmann-Nehdi, author of the Whole Brain Business Book and TedX speaker, shares the story of how the 40 years of research on thinking styles using the HBDI (Hermann Brain Dominance Instrument) led to insights on how our brains process creativity. Ann explains what we can all do to be more creative and tap into our Whole Brains.

The Law’s Impact in Puerto Rico. The host for this show is Keli'i Akina. The guest is Luis Ponce.
America’s federal maritime law known as the Jones Act is harmful to the territory of Puerto Rico, and people throughout the U.S. should be skeptical of it, says Luis Ponce, co-founder and action director of the Boricuas Unidos en la Diaspora, an activist organization that promotes progressive policy options intended to improve lives for the people of Puerto Rico. Host Keli’i Akina talks with Ponce about how people of all stripes, including progressives and liberals, should learn about the Jones Act’s negative impact on America’s non-contiguous territories and states, as well as the United States in general.

How the GET Contributes to the Problem. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika. The guest is Scott Grosskreutz.
According to a study by the University. of Hawaii School of Medicine, there is a shortage of physicians in Hawaii. The school has forecasted that the gap between supply and demand is now close to 1,000 doctors, and it's been getting worse over the years. https://bit.ly/3wQWsGP
The GET contributes to the issue because insurers won't pay it. Medicare, for example, will only reimburse medical work at 'reasonable charges' and will not reimburse the doctors for the GET they have to pay. Doctors won't or can't surcharge their patients for it, meaning they have to account for yet another expense amidst Hawaii’s high cost of everything.
There may be people out there thinking that, well, doctors are rich fat cats, so why shouldn’t we tax them up the wazoo? The short answer is that they are going to jump on a plane and get the heck out of here – which is backed up by the statistics discussed earlier in this article. Then, of course, they won’t be around when you need them.

Marvin Kelb's book 'Imperial Gamble' offers an excellent account of Ukraine's history up to the Russian occupation of Crimea in 2014. It explains how this country has struggled to consolidate its identity, oscillating like a pendulum between the East and the West, to depart from communism and to become a democracy with a free market economy. The current war in Ukraine stems from the same issues that Ukraine and Russia (their people and their leaders) have been trying to 'resolve' over the course of history. Will there be a chance for peace and reconciliation in 2022?

A Key to Development. The host for this show is Nicolás Süssmann Herrán. The guest is Maria Mónica Latorre.
In the aftermath of the pandemic that severely hit countries and households worldwide and with the perspective of a likely upcoming recession, citizens and policymakers are wondering which solutions are available to support both impoverished households and developing countries to mitigate the impact of these phenomena and guarantee their participation in local and global markets. All of this occurs in a context where digital and remote tools became the primary scenario to conduct life, especially economic and financial operations, but that sadly excludes the most marginalized due to access to technological tools and the financial system. In this episode, Maria Mónica Latorre, legal counsel for fintech in Latin America, discusses with Nicolás Süssmann the importance of financial inclusion as a solution for this dire scenario and a potential tool to trigger development in a rapidly transforming, digitalized, and economically fragile world.

Electric Tractors Are 'Electrifying'. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Dave Donald.
Introduction to the use of electric tractors to electrify agriculture in Hawaii. Tractors are essential to the productivity of farming. Starting with horses and then evolving to fossil fueled tractors, electric tractors are going to be the future of farming. Featuring zero diesel spills, no noise, and no harmful exhaust emissions, they are good for 'Spaceship Earth' and good for a farmer's health. And best of all farmers can 'farm' the electricity in-house from the sun. And save a lot of money and time. How great is that!! Dave Donald operates the first electric tractor at Blue Hawaii Coffee in Waimea on the Big Island and only the second one in Hawaii. Dave has a lot to show and tell - we call it 'sharing' the opportunity.

The Joy of Art. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Tamara Moan.
For two and a half years, Coronavirus has been the great thief in the night.
Covid stole jobs, decimated social activities, kept people away from family and friends, and disrupted lives. And this thief left people lonely and without things to fill their hours. Many sank into depression or flew into anxiety, and self-image took a beating. But some discovered new interests, while some revisited old interests, and others found joy in unexpected places. People got into music and movies and books and writing, while others took to paint and canvas and discovered the joy in Art. The Art Gallery of the mind opened, and the vibrant wonderful colors of positive emotions brightened the day.

Open Minds Through International Education. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is Kelly Oto.
The pandemic unleashed worldwide unrest. There are now strong efforts to correct resultant social inequities and injustice. International Education is a conduit to further cultural capital across the globe.
International mobility through higher education has been increasing for decades, often being affected by global incidents. With the increasing interest to support local students, support for international programming has become less of a priority.
International education needs to be considered a strategic pillar to build a highly skilled workforce that's culturally aware, understands global interdependencies and ensures global competitiveness. With increased knowledge, creative modes of delivery and better understanding of others, we have the power to address social injustices and utilize creative strategies for a better world.
Guest, Kelly Oto discusses creative prototypes for international collaborations in today's world. International Education is more than study abroad.

Justice Beyond Symbolism. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Danuta Palarczyk.
Transitional justice denotes holistic approaches to justice, encompassing both judicial and non-judicial solutions, that aid society in its path to recovery from mass atrocities. The field is shaped by universally acknowledged legal norms derived from human rights law, humanitarian law, and international criminal law. Through the designation of specifically tailored measures, accounting for the legal, political, social, cultural, and economic context(s) of violence, those initiatives attempt to provide the most appropriate approaches to justice.
ThinkTech Transitional Justice is coordinated together with Project Expedite Justice.

Energy Trading at the Consumer Level. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier.
As rooftop solar, electric vehicles and other forms of energy generation and storage become widely available and affordable, more residential consumers of electricity will become 'prosumers.' This means they will have the capability of producing energy beyond their needs, storing it, or engaging in a new form of commerce - Peer-to-peer energy trading. If managed correctly and in partnership with regulators and utilities, this could be a boon for all parties involved, providing low cost, reliable, clean energy. This is not without its pitfalls, and reliability and cybersecurity will be a major concern as this technology and socio economic shift races ahead of the regulators.

Figuring Out who Benefits. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
There has been a lot of talk these days about possibly adding a General Excise Tax (GET) exemption for food and medicine. The three Democratic candidates for governor all support it, as Hawaii News Now reported. The argument that most people make is that the GET, which applies to most purchases of things including food, is regressive. Thus, it falls more heavily on those less able to make ends meet.
But, as Director of Taxation Isaac Choy pointed out, it doesn’t necessarily follow that the tax burden falls more heavily on the poor because of existing exemptions and tax credits. He reasons that these new proposed exemptions would primarily benefit wealthier folks and tourists.

The Power of Sisterhood. The host for this show is Sharon Thomas Yarbrough. The guests are Gail Moore and Ella Johnson.
We're oftentimes told that as Black women, we're all we have. This year, that was proven when our solidarity and unity were tested by time, a worldwide pandemic and social movements. Black women are undoubtedly the backbone of society. Not just as mothers and caregivers, but teachers, nurturers, friends, partners and human beings who deserve love, support, honor and equality. In a world where there's one crisis after another, it's important that we're reminded we're not just on this earth to give counsel and support, but to receive such as well.

What, if Anything, Can Joe Biden Do About it. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tim Apicella. The guests are Stephanie Dalton and Colin Moore. Our panel addresses the events portrayed in James Comey's book and the Comey Rule movie based on that book; how Trump attempted to corrupt the Department of Justice and the FBI; the evidence adduced by the January 6th Committee on Trump's efforts to subvert government officials into his insurrection conspiracy; and the remarkable loss of records by the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security. Beyond that, our panel examines Trump's efforts to install 'loyal' appointees in the government, the extent to which those loyalists are still in place; their effect on the workings of the government; and what, if anything, Joe Biden can do to root them out.

Overly or Rightfully Afraid. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Juan Pablo Tello.
On Sunday June 19, 2022, the Colombians elected for the first time in history a left-sided government led by Gustavo Petro, former Bogota mayor and demobilized rebel member, and Francia Márquez, a Black feminist and environmental social leader. Petro has been seen with serious distrust from the right of the political spectrum, and many concerns were stated before the election day and after Petro's victory. In this episode, Juan Pablo Tello discusses with Jay Fidell the causes of these concerns, what they were, if they proved to be true after the election and recent cabinet appointments, and what the perspective is for the future that the right of the political spectrum sees for Colombia and the region with this new government.

Cost and Efficiency Vs Value. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Toby Kinkaid.
Are we using the right metrics when evaluating energy system value? This discussion covers a different way of looking at the value of an energy system. It may be better to evaluate the overall value proposition of the system--ie, Services Provided--rather than keying on a single aspect like a system's overall efficiency. Efficiency might not matter. The energy service provided may be more important or have more value to the end user. The end user may be willing to sacrifice efficiency and cost to get the value of the service the system provides. The Parable of the Lightbulb.

Help for High Risk People. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Toni Baran.
Throughout this coronavirus pandemic, people separated themselves from large groups, avoided close personal contact, and protected themselves from airborne viruses. Most could do that. People in prison could not. So, it has been no surprise that the number of inmates who have come down with the coronavirus far exceeds the average. Neither Hawaii, nor America, nor the world was prepared for this pandemic. There were no ready solutions, no clear directions to follow. People and agencies did their best and continue to do so, but answers are elusive, and the numbers remain high. One of the first things done was to prioritize who gets treated first: the elderly, those at health risk, and so on. Inmates were at the bottom, if they were even on the list. They are part of the forgotten population. Only now are people beginning to consider their plight.

Many educators think of creativity as open-ended 'free-time' activities. But creative thinking strategies are powerful tools to empower learners, build comprehension, increase content comprehension, engage students in the learning process, and increase student ownership for learning. Creative thinking is one of the top qualities companies around the world look for when hiring new employees, yet it is often ignored within our educational system. The focus is too often on 'what to think' instead of helping students learn 'how to think.' Moving creative thinking into the mainstream of education not only involves the commitment of classroom teachers, but needs the support of school administrators. We need creative-thinking teachers and creative-thinking students working together for creative thinking to become a life-long skill. Dr. Juntune has been fortunate to witness & experience this as a K-12 teacher and now university professor & program director of Creative Studies at Texas A&M.
A care model that has both in-person and virtual care can carry many benefits, and this episode speaks to this.
Show Guest Don Wallace is contributing editor of Honolulu Magazine. He has worked 40 years in journalism in New York and Hawaii covering business, culture, food, sports, politics, and written four books. The Guest discusses Hawaii's persistent sense of equilibrium in spite of being among the top three most expensive places to live in the US and distant from the nation's major economy-driving centers. Labor history from a plantation society has kept down wages, and even college-educated workers have lesser salaries compared to the mainland. Hawaii's inflation rate usually slightly exceeds that of the mainland, while the state's economic growth lags a point behind. However, the pandemic has revealed a different side of the state than we are all used to. The question is: Why does it feel different now? Is Hawaii's equilibrium now gone?
Protected areas are considered one of the leading strategies to counter climate change. Scientists advocated for 30% of the Earth’s surface to become protected by 2030, thereby preventing the 1.5°C temperature increase. Historically, protected areas have been problematic, given that they have usually been created on Indigenous Peoples’ ancestral lands, invoking processes including land dispossession, human rights violations, and the commission of foreseeable violent crimes. All of these elements threaten the survival of Indigenous Peoples, who were once the guardians of the coveted lands. Read PEJ's full report - 'Trapped Outside the Conservation Fortress: The Intersection of Global Conservation Efforts and Systematic Human Rights Violations' - here: https://www.projectexpeditejustice.org/post/indigenous-peoples-subject-to-systematic-human-rights-abuses-in-protected-areas-worldwide
Maui’s New Water BureaucracyThe Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management recently designated West Maui as a 'Surface Water and Ground Water Management Area,' which could delay finding new sources of water and make it harder to build more homes, according to Eva Blumenstein, planning program manager at the Maui County Department of Water Supply. Host Ted Kefalas talks with Blumenstein about how the new ruling will affect Valley Isle residents.
We discuss personal, professional, and community perspectives concerning current events in the World, the United States, and Texas & Illinois, and what provides hope for the future.
The usually resilient flow of nature is in peril, as exhibited by Senator Joe Manchin's staunch anti-clean energy suddenly shifting to clean energy support. Guest Ghissou Rosala's perspective unveils the inextricable dance between often irrational human behavior and the tie between civilization, culture, habit, tradition and the flow of nature. She weaves together those elements and points to a greener future.

Industrial Workforce Development. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier. The guests are Jill James and Suzie Espling.
The energy and electric utility industries are facing a shortfall of engineers and other STEM professionals in the workforce. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, economic projections point to a need for approximately 1 million more STEM professionals than the U.S. will produce at the current rate by 2025. This is a critically important challenge, especially if we hope to remain competitive as a nation or group of nations in science and technology. What is worrisome is that this also affects STEM-related roles not just in this industry, but across most others.

Most of the money in the state, and the place to which many (but not all) tax collections go, is the general fund. The Hawaii Constitution explicitly mentions this fund in provisions that together require a balanced budget. There are also, however, numerous other funds, called special funds, revolving funds, and trust funds. In 2020, there were close to two thousand of them.
Money also can be and is routinely transferred between funds, sometimes by a special law, sometimes automatically.

The revelations about the destruction of January 6th text messages and the apparent cover up by the Secret Service and its director James Murray also give us concern about whether the Secret Service was and are more loyal to Trump than the country.

Reefs Feed Generations Forever. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Bill Coney.
The Legacy Reef Foundation is employing novel technologies to rebuild our damaged coral reefs. Our guest Bill Coney, the cofounder of the Legacy Reef Foundation, explains why reefs are so important to mankind, the status of their health, and offers us hope that the reefs can indeed be saved. But it will not happen without our personal intervention from simple acts like using non-damaging suntan lotions, to actually growing new strains of coral that can cope with global warming. Finally he tells us about the community's involvement.

Between Hope and Concern. The host for this show is Nicolás Süssmann Herrán. The guest is Álvaro Salgado.
On Sunday June 19, 2022, the Colombians elected for the first time in history a left-sided government led by Gustavo Petro, former Bogota mayor and demobilized rebel member, and Francia Márquez, a Black feminist and environmental social leader. Continuing a short series on the election, in this episode, Alvaro Salgado discusses with Nicolás Süssmann another perspective from the center of the political spectrum. They discuss what the election means from that standpoint, how the center sees the election and the decisions made by the president elect, and the implication that this has for the country, including hints that the new administration has given in its first weeks post-election about its future plans. Between hope and fear of different sectors, we analyze how the new government is looking for Colombia.

The Joy of Fostering. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Jamie McOuat.
The harder life becomes, the more a person's world narrows down, until there is only oneself left. 'Everything is falling apart. How will 'I' survive?' Paradoxically the answer often lays in opening up one's world rather than narrowing it down: reaching out to others, helping others with their problems, understanding that one is not alone but part of a whole community trying to deal with a troubled present and facing an uncertain future. When giving help, people usually aid their friends, even more often their family, and probably most often their child. When is a child most dependent on their parents' help? During their first years. When do parents feel most connected to their child, most loving toward their child? Usually during their child's first years.

Ways to Salvage Remaining Presidency. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Winston Welch.
President Biden's political agenda was hijacked last week by W. Virgina's Democratic Senator, Joe Manchin. He announced that he would not vote for any climate change bill measures, to include alternate energy development. Also, he refuses to discuss the taxation of a minimum 15% international corporate tax rate, contrary to his previous statements. Without Manchin's 50th Senate vote, President Biden may soon be labeled owner of a lame duck administration. Given recent polling, President Biden is at an all time low of 39% favorable rating. A NY Times poll reflects 64% of Democrats do not want Joe Biden to run for a second term. Like President Carter, high inflation and gas prices lend to these numbers. If the president's agenda has been blocked by Manchin, how does Joe Biden turn his dismal approval numbers around?

Chicago and Honolulu, the Uneven Pair. The host for this show is Martin Despang.
Previous 'human[e] architecture' investigations have identified that Honolulu’s skyscraping skyline borrows much from Chicago, from architectural articulation to authorship. Both cities fronting water, this series of episodes investigates the most recent development in Chicago and their relation to and relevance for Honolulu. DOM Publisher’s 'Chicago Architectural Guide' gives orientation and inspiration for Martin Despang’s scavenger hunt in Chicago in May 2022. It refreshes previous impressions and eye-witnessing memories of DeSoto Brown and Martin Despang combined from the 60’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. The show is making viewers recollect, update or initiate their substantiated image of Honolulu’s fellow Windy City as to what to learn from and what not to.

Broadway Comes to You. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is Lynne Krause.
While there is a Broadway show for everyone, Broadway can be inaccessible. Cost and travel to NYC may be prohibitive for many. Many cities pose the same problem for theater touring companies. For many years, producers have feared that live capture of Broadway shows would stop audiences from coming to see theater live, and production costs for filming demonstrated no profit margins. In the 21st century, with the advent of digital media in movie theaters and the proliferation of streaming services, Creative Broadway producers are seeing the capture of live performances as a positive marketing and profit making venture. Theatergoers are able to experience their favorite shows over and over again, and Broadway is providing access to a new generation of theatergoers. Broadway self-affirmed expert, guest Lynne Krause, takes us through a fun historical perspective of past and present Broadway, with some creative surprises along the way.

Impact of Renewable Variability. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier.
Given the rapid deployment of renewable energy resources, their impact on the electric grid has become of increasing concern for system reliability. One of the reasons for this issue is their severe variability issues and how that forces conventional generators to respond. The problems have become so severe that there are entire regions that cannot support their summer peak loads and have been forced to engage load reduction or even feeder rotation.

Oleg Gordievsky was the best asset that MI6 planted in the Soviet intelligence echelons, who risked his life providing key information to the West. Aldrich Ames is the CIA agent that "sold" Gordievsky to the Russians, in exchange for large sums of money. We move onto current spy stories and spycraft, questioning its current scope and players. We ponder how technology and social media can be used for spying. We finish with pictures and impressions from Mihaela's recent visit to Spyscape, an experiential spy museum in New York City.

Roe v. Wade decision requires an emotional response, one filled with empathy and space to grieve what has been lost. Women who can have babies have lost a right to their own bodies. Whether that includes you or not, the fact is that 23% of women have had an abortion. 6 out of 10 Americans support a woman's right to choose. The Supreme Court ruling was an exercise in raw power - not one reflective of the will of the people, but one hidden behind a false narrative of original intent. When the Constitution was created, our very existence could have only happened with white men who had access to black female bodies. To embrace the idea that the Constitution cannot evolve is to choose some of our darkest history.

We Have a Wastewater Treatment Solution. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Dennis Furukawa.
This is the 3rd episode in a series of discussions about the "Perfect Storm" of climate change, and over-reach caused by population and consumption rate of growth. The first episode defined the problem: the challenge of an economic system that demands and rewards both continuous growth and the lack of public understanding about the relationship between energy and productivity. This third episode continues an overview of the first set of solutions: Energy Efficiency (doing more with less) and energy conservation (using less energy) with a focus on wastewater treatment. Wastewater includes both potable water and the electricity to produce and dispose of it. University of Hawaii invented technology that addresses these issues by reducing/reusing precious water and reducing the energy to treat it by up to 50%. This solution allows us to optimize energy use. Importantly, this is a solution that is within reach of individuals and can impact many facets of our lives. It is being used today.

A Women’s Perspective. The host for this show is Nicolás Süssmann Herrán. The guest is Juliana Guerrero.
On Sunday June 19, 2022, the Colombians elected for the first time in history a left-sided government led by Gustavo Petro, former Bogota mayor and demobilized rebel member, and Francia Márquez, a Black feminist and environmental social leader. Continuing a short series on the election, in this episode, Juliana Guerrero discusses with Nicolás Süssmann the feminists' and women's perspectives. They discuss what the election means from that standpoint, how feminist and women groups see the election and the first decisions made by the president elect, and the implication that this has for the country, including hints that the new administration has given in its first weeks post-election about its future plans. Between hope and fear of different sectors, we analyze how the new government is looking for Colombia.

Despite big crowds on the 4th of July, sold-out airplanes taking people everywhere, massive traffic jams, unmasked people breathing in everyone's faces, and arms hugging friends and strangers, the Coronavirus Cloud of continuing new cases and new hospitalizations casts its shadow, bringing uneasy shade on many people. When will the "Good Old Days" come back: days without viruses, without automatic weapons spewing death everywhere, without war raging somewhere threatening to open up Pandora's box of nuclear devastation, without climate change killing the planet? With people's heads full negativity, where is truly the joy of life? For many it is the smell of breakfast cooking, the midday picnic basket, or sitting around the dining room table.

EPA and Other Agencies Need Congress' OK. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Winston Welch.
The SCOTUS ruling last week put a new restriction on the EPA's ability to regulate carbon emissions from industry. Essentially, before the EPA can take steps to set limits of carbon pollution, Congress must pass a law to authorize the EPA with those powers. As Congress is in a state of constant gridlock, once again serious attempts to address global warming are put on hold. Further implications apply to other federal agencies that may now have to ask Congress permission to carry out its responsibilities. The panel explores this newly created dilemma and impact to the government's ability to conduct its mission.

Time for New Thinking and Capability. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guests are Dan 'Fig' Leaf and Howard 'Dallas' Thompson.
Two retired Air Force generals, Dan "Fig" Leaf and Howard "Dallas" Thompson, discuss what they see as a fundamental shift in nuclear thinking. They describe the emergence of a new norm in nuclear doctrine: blackmail. That approach is in stark contrast to the notion of Mutually Assured Destruction, where major powers – United States, the USSR, and China – viewed atomic attack as truly a last resort. The United States must now seriously consider its options to counter a new collective nuclear blackmail.
Russia has implied that it could use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, and North Korea has done the same in reference to South Korea and the United States. China's words and actions regarding Taiwan and the growing partnership between Presidents Xi and Putin suggest that the PRC's stated "no-first-use" policy may be a hollow promise.

Cool Introvert. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is Emily Finbow.
Working in academia can keep you in a perpetual state of self reflection. It can be scary to realize that questions students are asking at age 20 are the same questions that haven't been quite nailed down at age 40. Socrates warned that an unexamined life is not worth living. How then can you creatively make sense of present day life choices without a guide on the side? Life choices that include pop cultural influences, career dramas, ethical dilemmas and sometimes even breakthroughs in therapy are just a few examples that can get in the way. Analysis paralysis may take over. By becoming aware and unashamed of your own strengths and weaknesses, a patchwork quilt of experience evolves. Accrued experiences enhance one's efforts in helping students examine their own interests, work across disciplines in teams with faculty members and fellow students, and craft one's own narratives for the future. Join us in examining a University process for personal growth and lifelong productivity.

Energy in National Security Policy. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier. The guest is David Gattie.
The United States has entered an era of long-term competition with revisionist powers. A key aspect of this competition will revolve around a contest for technological superiority waged between the national innovation bases of the respective competitors. The outcome of this competition will determine not just American national security but also how the nations of the world interact—and whether a free and open political and economic system will remain the foundation of those interactions. This is quoted from The Contest for Innovation: Strengthening America’s National Security Innovation Base in An Era of Strategic Competition, Ronald Reagan Institute, 2019.
The discussion dives into these aspects while taking a hard look at how America is now considering a grand experiment on two of its most critical infrastructure sectors - energy and electric power - at a time when it's facing some of the most challenging competition in US history.

A Story of Survival in the Siberian Gulag. The host for this show is Mihaela Stoops. The guest is Katya Newton.
How can you tell someone that they will love this book, without spoiling it for them? Guzel Yakhina is a contemporary Russian author, whose books have received many literary awards. "Zuleikha" is the story of survival of a young Tatar woman that is exiled to a new settlement in Siberia, during the Soviet collectivization of the 1930's. The drama of the characters that are stripped of all their rights, possessions and sometimes their humanity pulls us in immediately, in a way that allows us introspection on the conflicts of love and duty. As we read the book, we are enthralled with the description of places and buildings that we may be familiar with, as well as of nature and animals in the taiga. The small victories of the exiles feel like our own victories and this is why we want you to add this book to your reading list.

The Greatest Corruption Case in Hawaii History. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Alexander Silvert.
Attorney and author Alexander Silvert helps us understand his new book, The Mailbox Conspiracy: The Inside Story of the Greatest Corruption Case in Hawaii History.
When Honolulu police chief Louis Kealoha and his wife, Katherine, the city’s deputy prosecutor, reported their mailbox stolen to frame a family member, it was only the beginning of an elaborate conspiracy—and a corruption case that soon became the most notorious in Hawai‘i history. Riveting and meticulously told by the federal defender who learned the story from the inside, The Mailbox Conspiracy is a fascinating study in the corruption of power and the abuse of public office.
Infamous for each new stranger-than-fiction revelation, the so-called “Kealoha mailbox trial” unearthed a chain of bumbling coverups, multiple instances of financial fraud stretching back a decade, and an alleged family drug trafficking enterprise—all served up with a generous helping of arrogance on the part of Louis and Katherine Kealoha.
A tenacious defense attorney with decades of experience, author Alexander Silvert led the team of investigators who painstakingly unearthed evidence to prove Gerard Puana’s innocence. Their seven-year effort turned the tables on the Kealohas, resulting in the couple’s federal prosecution, and the ramifications—and legal wrangling—of the case continue today.
“The Louis and Katherine Kealoha corruption saga is the most infamous in Island history, as Chief Kealoha and the Honolulu Police Department worked in concert to dupe the US Attorney’s office into prosecuting an innocent man. A scary, engrossing story. Alexander Silvert is as skilled an author as he is a lawyer.” —Ben Cayetano, Governor of Hawai‘i, 1994–2002
“The Mailbox Conspiracy is a crisply narrated study in abuse of power at the highest levels of Hawai‘i law enforcement. Silvert doesn’t hold back in vividly describing this sordid conspiracy by corrupt and recalcitrant authority figures.
His description of today’s police departments, prosecutor’s offices and courts, warts and all, is an easy-to-follow must-read for law students and those who love page-turning courtroom drama.” —Doug Chin, Attorney General of Hawai‘i, 2015–2018
Alexander Silvert was raised in New York City and Vermont. A graduate of UCLA and Boston College Law School, he worked as a state and federal public defender in Philadelphia before moving to Honolulu in 1989. He served as the first assistant federal public defender from 1992 to his retirement in October 2020 and was named Federal Defender of the Year in 2000 by the National Association of Federal Defenders.
During his tenure he handled numerous high-publicity cases, including representing two defendants in potential federal death penalty cases. Silvert wrote The Mailbox Conspiracy based on his personal involvement in the Louis and Katherine Kealoha case from 2013 to 2020. He currently provides legal consultation services to defense attorneys in federal criminal cases.

We continue our discussion of Critical Theory with Michael J. Thompson, Professor of Political Science at William Paterson University. We revisit the main dimensions of this kind of thinking, and discuss examples of how it can be applied in the "real world." We discuss what the term "radical" means in this context, and contrast this use of the term with its common, everyday usage. We look more closely at the concept of "democracy" as it is commonly used in the media and public discourse, and contrast this usage with what the concept actually represents as it was envisioned in its "ideal" form by other philosophical traditions. We discuss the contemporary usage of the terms "extremism" and "extremist" in American political discourse. We close by revisiting the relationship of theory and practice as a key component of what it means to DO Critical Theory in today's troubled world.

We Have Solutions. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guests are Peter Sternlicht and Noel Morin.
This is the 2nd episode in a series of discussions about the "Perfect Storm" of a) climate change, b) over-reach caused by population and consumption rate of growth, and c) resource depletion at a time when we need more "STUFF" than ever. The first episode defined the problem: the challenge of an economic system that demands and rewards both continuous growth and the lack of public understanding about the relationship between energy and productivity. This second episode presents and discusses an overview of the first set of solutions: energy efficiency (doing more with less) and energy conservation (using less energy – turning off lights). This solution allows us to optimize energy use. Importantly, this is a solution that is within reach of individuals and can impact many facets of our lives. It will require a shift in our consumption mindset as well as an awareness of the pocketbook benefits of efficiency. Future episodes will introduce practical ways save both energy and money.

Between hope and fear of different sectors, we analyze what the first left-sided government in history means for Colombia.

Movie Therapy. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Greg MacDonald.
People see themselves: the good, the bad, and the in-between. If their self-image is mostly good, if they feel they are increasing their positive attributes and decreasing their negative attributes, they tend to feel satisfied, happy. This is very difficult in a world seen as increasingly negative with little they can do about it. In a world caught in a pandemic, whose climate is changing dangerously, a divisive world where war is a constant threat, more people are subject to depression, anxiety, and feelings of hopelessness. People need to feel better about themselves. They need to feel hope that things will get better, that they can help.

Trump's Search for 11,780 Votes in GA. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Winston Welch.
On Tuesday, the fourth Jan 6 House Select Committee Hearings takes place. The focus of testimony will be on those election officials in Georgia and Arizona that were pressured to either overturn vote counts or find enough votes to win the state. In the case of Georgia, Trump's infamous demand to the Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find 11,780 is shocking to hear no matter how many times the media replays his recorded statement. Our discussion also tackles the issue of how Americans might respond if the DOJ decides to criminally charge (or not charge) Trump given his role in the Jan 6 insurrection attack of the Capital.

Rare GOP and Democrat Cooperation. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guest is Stephanie Dalton.
Under intense pressure from voters, the US Senate has come up with an agreement, in principal, to enact gun safety measures not seen in decades from Congress. American's cries to "do something" in the days after the Uvalde school and Buffalo NY food store shootings have forced the GOP side of the Senate isle to work with Democrats. Although the agreement fails to address critical aspects of gun safety such as assault weapon restrictions, a minimum age of 21 to purchase, and extended background checks, it does make small gains: improvement in "red flag" warning provisions and mental health, as well as domestic violence background checks. The difficult path ahead is to write the agreement in language enough Senators can live with in order to vote it for passage.

How our Bill Prices Compare. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
Sometimes we wonder just how lucky we are to live in Hawaii. We all know it’s a pricey place, but sometimes it takes raw statistics to drive that point home.
This week, we are looking at statistics from doxo, a bill payment network that boasts that they have 7 million subscribers throughout the United States covering 97% of U.S. zip codes, and dealing with 120,000 unique billers.
We compare Hawaii bills to the national average. Ours is the highest in the nation and 45% above the national average. But by types of bills, the comparison gets interesting.

We discuss how these events have set the path for what is happening in Ukraine today and we connect the audience with other fiction and non fiction books that are related to this topic.

Team Normal Tells Trump No Vote Fraud. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Winston Welch and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
Once again the January 6 Hearings reveal things not known to the American public. "Team Normal"--comprised of Senior Advisor Jason Miller and Election Campaign Director Bill Stepien--told Trump he lost the election, and it was not due to fraud. Later, AG William Barr said there was no fraud as Trump insisted to claim. Trump wanted to follow what "Team Crazy" advised: the election was stolen from the president. Attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell routinely pushed the false claims of voter fraud. At issue is that those false claims, lies, led to the Jan 6 violent attack on the nation's Capital. Also, the false narrative was the catalyst to raise $250 Million for Stop the Steal Legal Fund from small GOP donors. Most of those funds were funneled into Trump's Political Action Campaign Account. Findings from the Jan 6 Hearings is the topic of discussion.

Juneteenth, the oldest known celebration of the end of slavery in the Unites States, is observed every year on June 19. Americans will recognize the holiday on a Sunday in 2022. It is celebrated on June 19 because that is the day the news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached enslaved people in Galveston, TX, 1865. It took 2 1/2 years for the news to spread to the Lone Star State after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation became official on Jan. 1, 1863. The 13th Amendment, ratified in 1865, freed enslaved people throughout the country.

Fox News is Not News, it Avoids it. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guest is Stephanie Dalton.
One of the most important hearings to be broadcast on prime TV since the Watergate Hearings will be blocked out by Fox News. Why? It may be for the same reason that the impeachment hearings for President Trump were not aired: the fear that Trump followers may hear the truth. The decision for Fox to not air the Jan 6 House Select Committee Hearings is proof that Fox News needs to drop the word News from its moniker. If getting to the details of what was behind the storming of the Capital on Jan 6 isn't news, then what is the news? For millions of Americans, Fox is their only supplier of information. A diet of half-truths and misinformation, or in this case no information, is fed daily to an audience eager to confirm what they have already accepted as their truth. Details of Jan. 6 is an inconvenient truth and certainly will not be allowed on Fox. "Without light, democracy dies."

Escaping Negativity by Thinking. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Jerry Brennan.
Living in a world beset by seemingly insurmountable problems, it is hard not to fall into negativity. People are frustrated, feel cheated: this is not the world they bargained for, worked hard for. They are angry. Every day the news feeds this anger, like gasoline on a fire. Yet events do not cause anger, people's reactions to events cause anger, thoughts cause anger. Yet thoughts can be positive or negative depending on people's perspective. People can choose that perspective. If people's thoughts turn to anger, sadness, fear, grief, they can also turn to hope, inspiration, new ideas, productivity. People always have choices.

How to Perfect the Art of the Pivot. The host for this show is Xoe Heeney. The guests are Mikki Draggoo and Sara Semritc.
The twists and turns that brought Pixie Post to launch come back to a few simple truths. They love supporting small businesses. They thrive when we make customers happy. And they believe corporate and personal gifting can be elevated and magical.
For Mikki, it all started with some pixies. Three in fact, which first appeared in a children’s book she wrote called Catch That Cheese. As she transitioned back to Seattle from her 12-year stint in London, leading a brand and employee engagement team at a large company, she decided to pursue her long-time dream of growing her own entrepreneurial venture.
For Sara, it began when COVID-19 forced her exit from her 10+ year career in procurement at Vulcan. She took her chance to chase her dream of a more creative career tied to her passion of making beautiful gifts and surprises that people love. Her friends leapt at the opportunity and she became busy making, gift boxes, gift boxes, and more gift boxes.

This Requires our Continuing Attention. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Rob Richmond. Indigenous leaders from the Pacific Remote Islands Coalition are writing to President Joe Biden asking him to expand protection of the waters around the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, specifically around Palmyra and Howland and Baker islands. The coalition is made up of cultural practitioners, scientists, conservationists, fishers, and community members, working together toward protecting the precious ocean waters of the PRI. Expansion would continue a bipartisan effort. President George W. Bush established the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument in 2009 around Wake, Baker, Howland, and Jarvis Islands, Johnston and Palmyra Atolls, and Kingman Reef, extending 50 nautical miles around each site for a total 83,000 square miles. In 2014, President Barack Obama expanded the boundaries around Wake Island, Jarvis Island, and Johnston Atoll to 200 nautical miles, to the edge of the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone, protecting 495,189 square miles. This expansion would further what these leaders have started.

Interfacing University and Community. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is Morgan Appel.
Continuing and professional education has experienced a sea of change of sorts in the past two decades and even more so in the past two COVID years. Change requires more creative and flexible approaches to instructional development and delivery. Spurred on by the advent of the no collar economy and the incursion of private concerns into the marketplace, postsecondary institutions have learned an important lesson. If you are reacting, you are already far too late.
True educational transformation requires that all involved speak a common language, albeit in different dialects. We must illuminate pathways forward for our diverse constituencies, whether leading, following, sometimes walking side by side, but always there.

Many of us who drive cars now dread the day when we’ve got to go to the gas station. Between COVID-19, Russia vs. Ukraine, and other economic factors, gas prices have already passed the $5 per gallon mark and don’t appear to be falling anytime soon.
What we might not know, however, is that there are a lot of different taxes that go into the price at the pump. They are non-trivial now, and under some legislative proposals they will be much more intrusive. Under consideration, for example, are carbon taxes and/or road usage charges.

We Should be Able to Tell this Year. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tim Apicella. The guests are Stephanie Dalton and Colleen Hanabusa.
Trump's been able to win on some GOP endorsements, but he's lost on others. He's taken some outrageous positions that are clearly unpopular. He still isn't back on Twitter and doesn't have the exposure he had before. Could it be that his popularity is on the wane here in an election year. Could it be that the big lie and his insurrection and his attack on democracy are losing vitality. We look at what Trump is doing these days and the candidates he's endorsing, to see if we can get a handle on how he and his acolytes will do in the November elections, and what that tells us about their political future, the GOP's political future, and the country's political future, for 2024 and beyond.

We discuss our guest’s participation in the 1982-83 peace pilgrimage from Washington State to Bethlehem, Israel during the height of the antinuclear protests and movements of the early to mid-1980s, as well as how his involvement with that action shaped his subsequent activism on these and related issues.

A Plant-Based Diet is Good for Your Kidneys. The host for this show is Grace Chen O'Neil. The guest is Shivam Joshi.
Dr. Shivam Joshi, nephrologist, tells us about the role the kidneys play in filtering out protein and other toxins. He also tells us how we can decrease the recurrence of kidney stones if you have them. If you have chronic kidney disease, it is possible to slow down or reverse it with a plant-based diet. Renal patients are often told to avoid a plant-based diet due to phosphate and potassium. Despite this, it can actually be detrimental to stay on an animal based diet vs. a plant-based diet if you have kidney disease. Tune into the interview to find out more!

And most importantly, what concerned citizens, voters, business leaders and public officials can do at this point, with two elections facing us, to break up that cult before it is too late.

Spirituality, a Positive Path, Destination. The host for this show is Ken Burtness. The guest is Daniel Lev.
Spirituality is a global path inherent in religion and philosophy. All these paths provide great support and guidance during hard times. Finding spirituality helps people deal with discouragement and overcome what seems to be insurmountable problems. People often take life for granted, assuming they will be able to continue unimpeded until they reach that magical end when "They lived happily ever after." Spirituality helps people let go of these expectations and live in the moment. Spirituality also helps people deal with death and loss as well as life. Finally, Spirituality is the great giver of Hope, a way to open doors that seem irrevocably closed, to live a happy and productive life.

China Reacts to Biden's Taiwan Comments. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Kimi Ide-Foster.
At a news confrence held in Japan, President Biden was asked to compare US support for Ukraine versus Taiwan. President Biden's response left little doubt of the administration's commitment to defend Taiwan should China attack. The president's response drew a quick response from China, stating Taiwan was China's sovereign territory. Issues of USA/China trade relations, China's economic support of Russia, and/or expanded military exercises in the South China Sea may see an immediate change resulting from Biden's firm line in the sand. The current China/USA relationship is part of this show's discussion.

They Are Targeting Government Contractors. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guests are Attila Seress and Gerhard Rickert.
Atilla Seress of Cylanda and cybersecurity professional Gerard Rickert tell us about a spike in cyberattacks targeting local businesses that are prime or subcontractors for government work in Hawaii. Because of the nature of this targeting, a nation-state actor may be behind them. The attacks are being delivered as very believable, highly targeted emails that direct victims to a convincing copy of a Hawaii.gov website that is intended to harvest email credentials.
You may have heard about cyberattacks by foreign governments like North Korea, Russia and Iran from the news. They’re all too common and are referred to as nation-state threats, directing their attacks on critical infrastructure, military and businesses. On their hit list is gathering federally protected infrastructure data such as blueprints and internal documents, and personal information that could be used for extortion and backdoor access to government networks.

Gendered Inclusion in Afghanistan. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Anni Lindén.
For decades, Afghanistan has been a playground for great power politics. Come post-9/11 era, Afghan women's rights became the centre of the international discussion, along with "bringing democracy" to Afghanistan.
In this episode, we discuss whether and how Afghan women were included in the peace process, who gets the say on what state-building and peace mean in different contexts, and the issues in foreign interference in a state's transition to peace. Now, with Taliban having taken over the country again, history has repeated itself. What could we have done differently before the US retreated from Afghanistan in 2021?

Optimized Health Improves Decision Making. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier. The guest is Rudolph Eberwein.
On the show today is Dr. Rodulph Eberwein, MD, founder of A New You, a practice specializing in functional medicine, endocrine and hormonal optimization, age and weight management. The discussion links these specialties with human performance, error prevention, improved decision making and overall wellness.
The impact this can have on the energy and electric utility industry is of great interest given an aging workforce challenge coupled with some difficulty attracting new candidates. From a workplace labor management and Human Resources perspective, improving performance and general wellness could help address some of these issues. Additionally, there is evidence that this same age group may have been heavily exposed to PCBs several decades ago and their effects are still felt today.
Finally, another benefit to hormone optimization is the possibility of improving career longevity for those in the workforce that would have otherwise retired early.

HB 137, which cuts off an avenue of cooperation between county liquor inspectors and DOTAX investigators with respect to liquor tax and other tax issues; and
SB 2379, which expands the scope of responsibility of DOTAX's special enforcement section. Not that they need to, but DOTAX could use the money.

Social or Economic Issues Rev up Voters. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Sandy Ma.
Mid-term elections are six months away. It's anyone's guess if it will be social issues, Roe v Wade, state voter suppression laws, or Jan 6 House select Committee findings that turns out Democrats to vote. Perhaps it will be economic issues of inflation, rising interest rates, or concerns of a pending recession that motivates a strong turnout. The rise of white supremacist ideology, replacement theory, continues to capture a segment of interest of GOP voters. Also, hopes of taking back the House and Senate is a strong reason for GOP turnout. One thing is for certain: there is a great deal of importance riding on this election and which direction the country will take.

The Pandemic Reaches the Hermit Kingdom. The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf. The guest is Ed 'Hawk' Hawkins.
This episode features host "Fig" Leaf and guest Ed Hawkins, retired senior USAF officers who have studied North Korea for decades. They answer key questions on the sudden admission by Kim Jong-un and his regime that the so-called Hermit Kingdom is being swept by an explosive outbreak of COVID-19 with many deaths and hundreds of thousands of cases.
Because this comes after two years of claiming ZERO internal cases, the big reveal begs several questions:
-
Why the admission, and why now?
-
Why the DPRK a nation of underlying conditions and what will that mean in terms of the likely toll?
-
Could this lead to the collapse of the Kim dynasty?
-
What should the U.S. and other nations do in response to North Korea's calamity?

How Concerned Should we be. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tim Apicella. The guests are Stephanie Dalton and Avi Soifer.
Our panel will discuss the crisis of confidence now facing the Supreme Court; is this unprecedented in American history; what did the justices do or not do to get here; are they out of touch with the country; what did Donald Trump, Joe Biden, the GOP and the U.S. Senate do to get here; how are these problems accentuated or revealed by recent events, i.e., the failure of Clarence Thomas to recuse himself and the leaked opinion of the overturn of Roe v. Wade; how will they be ameliorated, if at all, by the ascendancy of Ketanji Brown Jackson; where does the court seem to be going and for how long; what effect does this have on the other branches of government; what effect will it have on the country; where do our civil rights and liberties seem to be going and when; what can the court, Joe Biden and Congress do, if so inclined, to reform or restore some degree of confidence in the court.

Roads Are NOT Free - Everyone Needs to Pay. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Dallas Ige.
In the US, the fuel tax is the primary source of transportation funding used to build and maintain our roadways. However, it will no longer be a reliable source of funding as it has not kept up with inflation and improved fuel economy, so the gap between needs and revenue continues to widen. As a result, a wide range of alternative revenue systems were explored where a road user charge system based on miles driven emerged as the consensus choice of the future. Since most people are not aware of the current funding problem, nor do they understand how a road user charge system would function, this show explores the concept of a road user charge system, reviews the intended policy goals, identifies major limitations, addresses social equity, and concludes with recommendations to gain public acceptance.

Success and Challenges to Women Rights. The host for this show is Nicolás Süssmann Herrán. The guest is Vanessa Daza Castillo.
Abortion is one of the most controversial issues in America. Recently there has been a wave of legal advances protecting women's rights to choose in Latin America including Chile, Mexico, and more recently Colombia. Nonetheless, those advances are not warranted and possibilities of overturning them are just around the corner such as the recent leak of the US Supreme Court decision about Roe v. Wade. Host Nicolas Sussmann and Vanessa Daza discuss these situations and their impact on the region.

Discussion starts with the individual. School lectures and required readings are only beginning steps. These must be followed by interest. Joseph Campbell told people to "Follow their bliss."

Coronavirus has shut many doors in people's lives. It has separated people from friends and loved ones, from their jobs, from their social life. For many it has shut the door of hope, hope for the future. Education, interest, and creativity are keys to opening that door.

He Keeps Hanging on. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Chuck Crumpton.
Trump has left his indelible fingerprints on the GOP and our republic. The main stain left was an assault to our democratic election system. Reports from the January 6 House Select Committee leave little doubt of Trump's and his sycophants--John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, etc.--role in an attempted disruption of the national election process, and a mob attack upon the Capital. The fallout of the 1/6 attack: looked like it was lights out for Trump, as supported by M.McConnell, K.McCarthy, L.Graham. However, within days the weak knees of those three buckled and fell prostrate to the ground before Trump, declaring loyalty and how Trump would be the next GOP nominee for 2024. McConnell went so far to say the GOP will not have a formal platform; Trump will be the platform. So what continued influence on the GOP and primary candidates will Trump have? What will the nation look like if Trump is re-elected in 2024 and after?

Entrepreneurship: Transformation Toolkit. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is David Ochi.
Who are the best employees of tomorrow? It isn't just someone who waits for the boss to tell them what to do and then does exactly what was said without thought. The mindset and skillset of entrepreneurs are slowly being recognized as vital to great employees. We all want loyalty but innovation is a key driver of company success. How can we find, optimize and retain entrepreneurial employees? Even harder, how can we train the workforce of tomorrow? Educators are having to innovate new ways to face the challenge. Despite the creation of over 2,000 collegiate entrepreneur programs in the last few decades, 99%+ of student entrepreneurs will get a job after they graduate instead of working full time on their own venture. Is this a cause for alarm or simply a success dressed up as failure answering a different question? Innovation expert, David Ochi has the answers as to how we can train and inspire the future ideal employees of tomorrow to be creative, innovative and entrepreneurial.

Listening to Sexual Violence Survivors. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Mariana Süssmann.
Jay Fidell and Mariana Süssmann discuss the complexities of listening to the testimony of sexual violence survivors, mainly in scenarios of transitional justice. The historical approach to this kind of narrative has been focused on the damage, the horror, and the perplexity of the events. In this sense, the victim's subjectivity is overseen and (re)instrumentalized to expose the cruelty of the survived transgressions. The alternative testimony opens the possibility of an encounter with a human being that, further than the facts, reconstructs and reappropriates its body while telling its story on its own terms.
Transitional Justice is coordinated together with Project Expedite Justice.

Tax Fairness Might Lie in the Carbon Tax. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Sara Brower.
One of the prime causes of today’s social unrest is the bifurcation of the economy. The middle class is stable but shrinking; the rich are getting richer and the ultra-rich are harvesting larger and larger of the nation’s GDP. Meanwhile, the lower economic 50% of America is stagnating or even trending downward, causing resentment and frustration and opening the way for strongmen to rise to power. A prime cause of economic bifurcation is a tax structure that favors the rich. As Warren Buffet says, “My secretary pays more taxes than I do.” A path to a fair tax system may be by instituting a carbon tax with built-in checks and balances that lessens the burden on the poor and middle class, and ensures that the rich pay their fair share. The creation of a fair system could in turn tamp down the acrimony prevailing on the American social structure.

How 50 Years of Settled Law Gets Unsettled. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guests are Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Jeff Portnoy.
A rare leak obtained by Politico reflects a U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion that Roe v. Wade abortion rights for women would be reversed after 50 years of settled case law. The leaked opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito would create a patchwork of actions across the country to preserve or abolish abortion rights.
As this was a draft opinion, no formal vote from the court has taken place, therefore the decision is yet to be final. The question we must ask those justices who claimed that Roe v. Wade was settled law during their Senate Confirmation Committee Hearings, now voting to reverse it, is just how honest was their testimony to the Senate and the American public? The panel explores the many issues associated with the likely reversal of Roe v. Wade.

Putin's nuclear blackmail is working in Ukraine. The more Putin rants about his nuclear arsenal, the more he enacts atrocities with impunity. The world cowers, fearing escalation to mutually assured destruction (MAD) through intention or accident. US weapons’ support risks acceptance in the war game with Putin, and peace negotiations stall in the face of it. What fallacy has made Putin the only power player? Broader strategy is needed to attain Ukraine's demand for Putin's unconditional withdrawal.

Hawaii Joins the Carbon Capture Crusade. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Christie Gamble.
Carbon dioxide emissions are the prime cause of climate change. The most effective action is to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and transform it into a useful product that lasts for centuries. Some cement companies are injecting liquid CO2 into concrete mixing batches where it mineralizes into calcium carbonate, a strong stable compound that hardens concrete. (Interestingly, calcium carbonate may be taken as a supplement to harden bones, and is closely related to baking soda.) The CO2-strengthened concrete reduces the volume needed to achieve required strengths, resulting in a lower carbon footprint and lowering transport weight and volume. CO2-stregthened concrete also reduces the "cure time" needed to harden the concrete mix to the required moisture content, reducing construction time. CO2 can comprise up to 20% of the volume of concrete. Energy CO2 has already been removed by one carbon concrete company to remove from the atmosphere CO2 equivalent to 53 million cars.

Taxes You Don't See. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
The Tax Foundation of Hawaii tries to follow and report on bills proposing new taxes. They follow any bill that mentions taxes, or affects the tax codes. But that’s not enough. Lawmakers can be very crafty and propose things that don’t look like taxes. Here are some examples.
HB 2399, for example, establishes an “Extended Producer Responsibility Program” that is designed to slap a “fee” on anyone who imports or sells “fast-moving consumer goods,” which means anything non-durable like food or drink. The Department of Health is tasked with administering the program.
Senate Bill 3040, sponsored by the Department of Accounting and General Services, deals with state procurement, namely where the State buys goods and services from other businesses. The bill directs the state procurement administrator to procure and administer automated procurement systems, and then collect a transaction fee from all vendors using those systems.

If the DOJ appeal is upheld, certain confusion will follow all passengers of air flights and public transportation. The panel explores the many issues associated with the recent federal judge's ruling.

Money is a Function of Work, Energy is Work. The host for this show is Stan Osserman.
Energy and work are tied in many ways. Money and work are also tied closely, and banking, finance and economics tie them together. Today, we have tools that make many things possible that were never possible in human history, like aviation, Intermodal container shipping, digital communications and micro machines and genetics. But all of these require work, and often work well beyond the natural capabilities of man. A huge proportion of the work we do today requires fossil fuels and equipment that needs fossil fuels. As fossil fuels become scarce, they become more expensive due to the "laws of economics". So how do we "Go Green" without going broke? You have to find a way to change all of your fossil fuel based energy system to "clean energy" in a logical, seamless economic manner. Apparently this is beyond man's capability at this time. So what's the answer?

Find Cash Relief from the ERC. The host for this show is Sheryl Matsuoka. The guests are Rebecca Sheppard and Peter Haukebo.
Efforts to replenish the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) are being debated in Congress right now, but restaurants and bars can still find significant cash relief in a refundable employee payroll tax credit—the Employee Retention Credit (ERC). With credits often exceeding the initial payroll tax liabilities themselves, the ERC has already awarded millions of dollars to a broad spectrum of employers, including restaurant and bar owners. And unlike the RRF, the ERC was never limited by available federal funds, so any business that qualifies and applies can still find ERC relief!
Join speakers Rebecca Sheppard and Peter Haukebo for their insightful discussion of the Employee Retention Credit (ERC)—specifically aimed at helping restaurant owners understand how they can maximize relief under the program. Rebecca and Peter break down the ERC into 3 easy-to-digest parts.

Is China Telling the Truth About them. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Henryk Szadziewski.
Henryk Szadziewski, UH graduate student, will help us understand the plight of the Uyghurs in China. Most recently, the IOC has behaved deplorably in the Olympics. It has been difficult to reconcile their rhetoric of inclusion and actions as enablers of repression.
The source of the claim that all Uyghurs have been released from "vocational and training centers" is a senior Xinjiang official. As a source of information, it's difficult for any reasonable person to take that seriously.
Long prison sentences on flimsy pretexts have been used in the past two years. The link between camps and forced labor is also very credible. One has to wonder how in good conscience an Olympics can be held in Beijing. The Uyghurs are victims of this terrible repression.

Now there is a hint of an Omicron variant storm resulting in PTSD ("Present" Traumatic Stress Disorder). What might be learned from a storm on the east coast to help prepare people in Hawaii?

How DOE Plans to Aid Every P-12 School. The host for this show is Stephanie Dalton. The guest is Cheri Nakamura.
State lawmakers are budgeting to allocate Hawaii’s federal funding of about $700 million for Covid relief needs in all P-12 schools. Our Guest, Cheri Nakamura, Director of the HE’E Coalition or Hui for Excellence in Education comments on the DOE's plan to distribute the federal funds in allowable ways and equitably to all schools based on the requirements of the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) law. The state must apply funds accordingly, such as collecting school community input about local needs and providing after-school programming. Do the DOE plans show how it meets ESSER's guidance and how will the public know it does?

Using Shipping Containers as Low Cost Homes. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Purnima McCutcheon.
One of the core problems faced by wealthy nations worldwide is the plight of the houseless. A few architects have reached an innovative way of partially solving the problem. They build multi-family, multi-floor buildings on small urban sites using shipping containers which are by design are extremely strong and durable. The complexes include 160 to 480 square foot living spaces, and common areas include 24/7 access to bathrooms and drinking water, and offices for supportive services. The key target populations include vulnerable women and children and the chronically homeless. Amenities include roof gardens with edible plants, balconies and plenty of sunlight brought indoors. The designs are replicable and sustainable.

Utility Scale Energy Storage Systems. The host for this show is Guillermo Sabatier. The guest is Hugh McDermott.
Hugh McDermott is Sr VP Business Development and Sales at ESS, INC. He tells us more about ESS and its innovative developments in energy storage as well as their Iron Flow Chemistry Technology, and shares some project examples ESS has delivered on and how this could benefit a market like Hawaii or similar islands.
This tech is competitive with existing utility scale energy storage systems in relation to:
• Cost
• Size or footprint
• Environmental impact
• Scalability
• Dispatchability
• Other benefits
Since there are growing numbers of utilities also looking at energy storage as a blackstart resource, there may be an application of ESS systems for this purpose.
For BES system operators, next day planners and system engineers, dispatch of this resource is a topic of great interest. This leads to system operator and dispatcher training with simulation and how they can both benefit system reliability.
Finally, this tech may be applicable to the individual prosumer or DERs.

Our panel discusses the efficacy of the sanctions to date, and the ones adopted just this week. Can Putin get around them. Do the Russian people understand the reasons for the sanctions and the effects of the sanctions. Will the coalition soften as the war goes on when they themselves are being damaged by the sanctions. Will the coalition reverse the sanctions in the event of, and as part of, a peace agreement. Will the Russian economy be able to recover from the effects of the sanctions, and how long will that take. Will Russia be made to pay the costs of restoring the damage and compensating the Ukrainians for the war crimes and all the deaths, torture and suffering the Russians have caused. What will the Russian economy look like when all this is over.

More Persecution of the State Auditor. The hosts for this show are Jay Fidell and Tom Yamachika.
The House Special Investigative Committee was supposed to be looking into problems at the Department of Land and Natural Resources and the Agribusiness Development Corporation because of a less-than-glowing report by the State Auditor. But guess who got slammed by the Committee just as much, if not more? The Auditor.
Over one-third of the Committee’s report was on the Auditor’s Office (which was never supposed to be part of the Committee’s focus according to the House Resolution authorizing the Committee). It was also telling that the Committee issued its draft report before even hearing the testimony from all of the scheduled witnesses. That sure makes it seem like the Committee had predetermined a lot of things.

The world must stand in solidarity with Ukraine to ensure no other nation faces aggression through a higher degree of deterrence.

There are renewed calls for a declaration that Putin is responsible for these war crime against a civilian population. President Biden repeated his words that Putin is a butcher. Russia's top diplomat Sergey Lavrov stated his usual response, as was in Aleppo Syria and Grozny Chechnya, these are staged photo images and the video documentation is fake.

Lessons from Ukraine and Other Wars. The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf.
Russia's failures in Ukraine have highlighted the importance of air superiority in military operations. Russian invaders have been unable to achieve the goal of controlling the air domain and paid dearly for that on the ground.
Host "Fig" Leaf is an expert on the topic with almost 2,000 hours in the air superiority F-15 and combat experience in the air and on the ground. Fig explains what air superiority means and why it should matter to American citizens.
Since World War II, some measure of air superiority has been a constant in U.S. military - the last time an American soldier was killed by enemy air attack was 1953 during the Korea War. As they say on investment commercials, past performance does not guarantee future success.
Watch this episode to understand what's at stake if U.S. armed forces cannot achieve air superiority in a future conflict - and how to avoid such a situation.

HIWA:Hawaii to West African Poetry Exchange. The host for this show is Sharon Thomas Yarbrough. The guests are Sandra A. Simms, Apiorkor Seyiram Ashong-Abbey, Karla Brundage and Britney Tachie.
The idea for this collection, Sisters Across Oceans, was inspired by the much needed conversation between influential Black women across the African diaspora. What occurred was an extraordinary, almost instantaneous, international connectivity. When presented with the opportunity to have a conversation through exchanges across two oceans, the women in this collection created a fresh community that relied on modern and traditional technologies of communication: email correspondence, telephone calls, and Zoom meetings.

Innovative Ways to Offer Hybrid Working Environments. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Robert Wilkinson.
Robert Wilkinson will help us understand what the 2022 office will look like.
As business owners brace themselves for employees returning to work or formalizing a permanent hybrid environment in 2022, businesses could be finding themselves in a holding pattern over the next couple of months. In the U.S., Google recently announced that it won’t be requiring its employees to return to the office as planned and will hold off past the new year to reassess when its employees can return to a “stable, long-term working environment.”
So in the US, what will the office environment most likely look like in 2022? Is the hybrid working environment here to stay? Are employees now preferring to be back in the office? Will companies mandate workers to come back into the office? Robert Wilkinson, CXO of OfficeMaps, details the trends that they’ve been seeing in the market over the past few months and from their experience what will become prominent trends in 2022.

Guest panelists speak of the waning power of XPOTUS' single 2022 and 2024 campaign issue, his stolen election, shown by lagging poll numbers for his approved candidates in target states. Guests comment on likely GOP voters' boredom after XPOTUS' years of whining about his election loss, and Hunter Biden's investigation lacking findings. For the Dems, the likelihood that he committed a crime of obstruction by trying to disrupt Congress' counts of state presidential electors is energizing. What will it take to prosecute POTUS and what does failure to prosecute say about the US system?

Mix Messaging Plagues the White House. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
The White House has been plagued by impromptu comments from President Biden about Putin's nature and actions in Ukraine. Recently, Biden labeled Putin a war criminal. The White House attempted to walk that statement back. This week, President Biden stated in what appeared to be an impromptu remark from his speech that Putin could not be allowed to remain in power of Russia. This prompted the State Department to walk back the statement, which suggested a regime change is a Biden Administration goal. The president had to walk back his words, clarifying the statement was his personal opinion, not policy direction. In politics, walking back definitive statements are known as flip flops. The unfortunate aspect of the White House's mixed-messaging problem is that Putin will use Biden's words to solidify support from the Russian people.

Ways to Deal with Non-normal Education. The hosts for this show are Ken Burtness and Greg MacDonald.
Schools and colleges are rushing back to "business as usual" but education may never be able to return to the "good old days." We may never get back to "normal," but we can get back to effective learning. Now we are mostly focused on the negative effects of Covid-19, but there are also some positive effects - different and innovative ways of teaching and learning. Both of these are discussed emphasizing "accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative." To do this, both cognitive (thinking) and emotional (feelings) ways are examined.

Ukraine, Sarajevo: Healing Trauma of War. The host for this show is Phyllis Blees. The guest is Laurie Marshall.
Envisioning positive futures together is a key skill to surviving and thriving in the 21st century. Creativity is a birthright. We each need to use our genius to heal our heartbreak. With a clear vision, like Harriet Tubman’s, we can achieve the goal of communities that work for all.
Unity Through Creativity Foundation, founded by Laurie Marshall, developed the Singing Tree Methodology - A Peace Building Through Art program. Youth, adults and elders, and schools, businesses, and NGOs create a mural together. This taps into the neurobiology of peace and the principle of peace literacy.
The collaborative mural envisions success to community challenges, heals heartbreak and sparks innovative action while connecting the participants to an international network of Peace Leaders. 21,000 people from 52 countries have co-created over 100 murals that use the mutualism of trees as inspiration.
The goal is to demonstrate that profound collaboration is possible, visible, and powerful.

Program host Keli’i Akina, president and CEO of the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, interviews Neumark about his comprehensive review of evidence on the effect of minimum wages on employment, skills, wage and income distributions, and longer-term labor market outcomes, and his conclusion that, ultimately, minimum-wage laws are not a good policy tool.

Deconstructed Old Homes Are Very Valuable. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guests are Ariana Whalem and Harley Didriksen.
Old homes can be very valuable--the fine oak, cedar or redwood boards, the craftsman cabinetry, the old mirrors and doors--true collectables. Concrete is crushed and reused as fill material. Old rebars are made of very high quality steel. Deconstructing is a well-paid skill, adding to Hawaii's tax base. An enormous amount of energy goes into making and shipping building materials. Using this "embodied energy" reduces CO2 emissions. Destruction, on the other hand, only adds to our landfill woes and requires new energy-intensive materials.

Similar Tactics Used in Ukraine and Russia. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell, Mingo Wasch, Karen Buzzard and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
Daily video images of missile strikes on the citizens of Ukraine become future evidence of Putin's war crimes. Also, Putin's zero tolerance policy of any criticism from the Russian people towards his invasion tactics result in the imprisonment of thousands of citizens. The image Putin wishes to project to the world is strength, brutality, and one to be feared. It's the same path as Stalin walked from 1930-1956. The similar characteristics of these these two brutal dictators will be examined by the guest panel.

A New Book on Climate Change by Wake Smith. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Wake Smith.
The public discourse around climate change remains fixated on reaching net zero carbon emissions, however net zero is only the beginning. According to Wake Smith (Yale Professor and Climate Intervention Researcher), unless we do so unexpectedly quickly, reaching net zero emissions will not be the end of the climate struggle, but only the end of the beginning.
In Pandora's Toolbox: The Hopes and Hazards of Climate Intervention (Cambridge University Press, March 2022), Smith offers readers an accessible and authoritative introduction to both the hopes and hazards of some of humanity's most controversial technologies, which may nevertheless provide the key to saving our world.

Where Can Hong Kong Go Now. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Michael Davis.
Beijing has brutally advanced the 2047 return of Hong Kong to China, and it has changed the open character of the city to full-tilt repression in the space of only a few years. Civil liberties and particularly freedom of speech and the press has been crushed, and as a result Hong Kong has lost its vitality, creativity and appeal to the world.
Michael Davis, who lived and taught in Hong Kong for many years, and who has written about it over the years and recently published an important article in the Journal of Democracy dealing with this repression, helps us understand what has happened, what is happening now, what we are left with, and what we can expect from and about Hong Kong going forward.

Since 2019 Chile has undergone a social and political transformation. Following demonstrations against the rise in public transport fares and then against police brutality, Chilean society demonstrated its discontent with current affairs.

Catalina Fernández Carter discusses with our host the causes and factors that led to that transformation and what is on the horizon for Chile and Latin America.

Helping Ukraine Without NATO is Needed Now. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell, Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Karen Buzzard.
President Biden firmly stated that NATO cannot assist Ukraine without an escalation of the current Ukraine War. Points well taken with the establishment of a NATO no fly zone. However, there are ways of getting MIG jets to the Ukraine Air Force without direct NATO transfer of those weapons. There are many additional ways to assist the people of Ukraine. One issue is Europe and USA seem willing to allow Putin to dictate terms of what defines escalation of hostilities between NATO and Russia, thereby controlling the world's response. One should ask the obvious question: why allow this unrestrained dictator, Putin, to determine the rules of his unprovoked war? This topic is discussed by the panel of guests.

Health as a Bridge for Peace. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Alejandro Abisambra-Castillo.
Between 2012-2016 the Colombian government engaged on peace negotiations with the armed group FARC. The early phases of its implementation took place between 2017-2018 and continues to the present day. During the early implementation of the agreements, the Colombian government delivered a series of health services to ex-combatants, members of the international monitoring mission, and local communities, that contributed to the creation of trust between antagonistic actors.

Russian Oil Sanctions and the Jones Act. The host for this show is Joe Kent. The guest is Colin Grabow.
Colin Grabow, Grassroot Scholar and policy analyst at the Cato Institute, discusses President Joe Biden’s ban on Russian oil imports and why Hawaii needs a Jones Act waiver to ensure its energy security. Currently Hawaii is almost wholly reliant on foreign fuel sources, due to Jones Act restrictions on shipping goods between U.S. ports that make it too expensive to buy U.S. oil. Also, in the event of an emergency, there also are too few Jones Act oil tankers available to ship fuel to Hawaii from the U.S. mainland. Joe Kent, Grassroot Institute of Hawaii executive vice president, is the program host.

Energy Codes Build Energy Efficiency. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Duane Jonlin.
Energy efficiency in buildings--using the best building materials so that homes and buildings have near thermos-like performances--and selecting the highest-performing air conditioners, furnaces and appliances is by far the quickest and most cost-effective path to building a clean energy economy nationwide. Adopting building codes that ensure that the best materials and equipment are used scales efficiency to include hundreds of thousands of homes and buildings every year. What's more, adopting energy efficiency building codes causes market transformation. Manufacturers shift to making high-efficiency equipment and those products make their way to hardware stores, allowing the DIY'er to reduce his or her utility bills.

Blame Placed on Biden for Doing Right Thing. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch, Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Karen Buzzard.
President Biden signed an executive order to ban all Russian energy imports into the USA. Although the US imports roughly ten percent of its imports from Russia, what will be the impact to the economy on the larger scale? President Biden was being blamed for increasing gas prices at the pump prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. To what degree will that criticism increase? Did the president make the right decision to demonstrate the importance of taking a stand against Putin versus accepting his energy imports and anger Americans over higher gas prices? This topic is discussed by the panel of guests.

How Much Stress Can we Bear Before we Break. The hosts for this show are Ken Burtness and Daniel Lev.
In the midst of a global pandemic Russia attacks Ukraine and the world is drawn into another worldwide crisis. How much can an individual take? How much can nations take? Coronavirus has shown it itself to make existing physical problems worse, existing mental problems worse. In some ways it has brought us together, but in more ways, it has divided us, increased anger, uncertainly, and anxiety. What will be the effect of this global crisis doubling down? Today’s discussion focuses on effects this has on the individual. A crisis can bring out the best in people or the worst in people. How can we help bring out our better selves? How can we deal with War and the Coronavirus? What will the short-term effects of this combination be? What will the long-term effects be?

Ukraine, Inflation, Voter Rights, Unite USA. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch, Karen Buzzard and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
President Biden will have many critical issues to discuss at The State of the Union Address. To name a few topics Americans expect to be covered are: Ukraine, inflation, COVID, failed legislation-Build Back Better and Voter Rights. Also, President Biden will no doubt discuss his accomplishments- infrastructure, COVID Stimulus, and leading the country out of COVID restrictions. The greatest challenge to be addressed is the drift away from democratic principals and the need to correct course. It will be a heavy lift for the President to persuade a nation that unity is critical as we react to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the findings of the January 6 House Select Committee report.

Pandemic Mental Health Youth Intervention. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is Alissa Gleacher.
The Pandemic has had a huge impact on our children's mental health. A recent report from the US Surgeon General states that symptoms of anxiety and depression in our youth have doubled, with many of our youth experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Some youth groups are harder hit than others. Suicide attempts are higher for adolescent girls than pre-pandemic levels compared to a pre-pandemic lesser increase of suicide attempts in adolescent boys.
The pandemic produces a long-standing widespread loss of normalcy, increase in sedentary behavior, loss of social support, loss of normative childhood activities, increased academic struggle and more. Research also shows our youth's mental health issues impacting parents' well - being and job performance. Cognitive behavioral psychologist, Dr. Alissa Gleacher provides insightful coping strategy information for families and a sampling of intervention techniques for individual family members.

Reparation for Historical Harm. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Gerald Gahima.
Armed conflict is as old as man, and armed conflict and human suffering are twins. Often, victors write historical narratives, and the voices of victims are silenced. In any event, international law traditionally protected aliens but did provide mechanisms to hold governments accountable for abuses against their own citizens. The human rights movement has sought not only to discourage atrocities but to also provide redress to victims. Reparation is a critical component of redress mechanisms available to victims of human rights abuses.

Show’s Guests comment on how Putin’s military advance on Ukraine evoke a Western North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) response in the form of Sanctions, mostly economic. Sanctions’ effects can take time to impact the target. Is stronger, more immediate pushback necessary to deter Russian aggression on its neighbors? Will unproductive sanctions threaten Biden’s standing as President, especially given downward trends of approval? Is Biden a promisekeeper? Importantly, can he harden the West’s response to illegal, unjustified incursion into another country?

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Tom Yamachika.
The physician shortage in Hawaii, although highlighted by the pandemic, has been years in the making. Its causes include a low Medicare reimbursement rate, General Excise Tax (GET) applying to medical practices, and our sky-high cost of living. Medicare will only reimburse medical work at “reasonable charges” and will not reimburse the doctors for the GET they have to pay. Doctors usually wind up absorbing the tax rather than attempting to surcharge their patients for it, meaning they have to account for yet another expense amidst Hawaii’s high cost of everything. A bill now being considered at the Legislature shines a spotlight on hospitals and caregivers who try to deal with GET and aren't doing a great job of it.

Chocolate that Looks like Cannabis. The host for this show is Kathleen Lee. The guests are Josh Naito and Lesley Naito.
"It's not what it looks like." Choconugs Hawaii's tagline is a simple description of the company's products: they're chocolates that are meant to look like weed, but contain no THC ("they're just candy"). CEO Josh Naito and COO Lesley Naito, business and life partners, used their collective professional experiences to launch Choconugs Hawaii in 2021. To date, their products are available online, as well as carefully selected retail stores. Josh and Lesley are also working on establishing two locations for production - one in Hawaii, and one in Washington. Learn more about their target demographic, how they intend on using their products to educate communities further on the benefits of medicinal cannabis (as well as addressing stigmas around it), and why they've pursued this specific niche to bring joy to people.

A Ban on all Stock Trading is Proposed. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch, Karen Buzzard and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act was passed in 2012 with overwhelming bipartisan support: Senate 96-3, House 417-3. Congress hasn't agreed on much since then. Perhaps the criminal conviction of lobbyist Jack Abramoff had something to due with the new law. Since passage, numerous members of congress have found themselves in violation of the law- full transparency and timely disclosure of stock trades made by members. In the past months, 57 members - both GOP and Democrats - have been identified as in violation of the law. Reasons for the absence of filings for stock trading includes: 1. Ignorance of the law 2. Clerical errors 3. Accountant mistakes. The push to enact a new law would prohibit all stock activity trading for all members of congress and spouses. A bold new law which appears to have support from both sides of the isle. Cleaning up the corruption of congress is rare and welcomed. But why now? The panel tackles this issue and the associated questions.

Coronavirus Anger and How to Deal with it. The hosts for this show are Ken Burtness and Diana Honeker.
Omicron is receding but there is little rejoicing. People are still angry, the future is still uncertain, people are still divided. As individuals we need to become aware of our anger, understand that this anger is maladaptive, and change our behavior. We know this, but change is hard. Underneath our anger is guilt and shame. These need to be normalized, and acceptance and forgiveness of both ourselves and others needs to be incorporated into our changed behavior. Diana and Ken elaborate.

Inflation is Here, Apply the Brakes, Slowly. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch, Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Karen Buzzard.
The Carter Admin followed a textbook case as what not to do for economy with runaway inflation. The term stagflation, high inflation and a stagnant economy was coined. Price fixing and slow to act to reality were key ingredients for the devastating effects it had upon Americans personal wealth. Once the economy was in a comatose state, only then were effective efforts implemented to reverse inflation. Enter the appointment of Federal Reserve Chairman, Paul Volcker (1979-1987). A Wall Street, cigar smoking guy, took charge and rapidly increased the Fed Overnight rate from 13% to 20% in a short year. The effect was the brutal recession of 1980-1982. The Prime rate reached 21%, 30 year fixed rate home mortgages hit 18%. By 1983 the Fed rate finally fell to 13.5%. Today, the Fed rate stands at 0%. With the last two months of CPI coming in at 6.01% and 7.0%, one might ask, What is the Fed waiting for? Hopefully, not Godot.

Nuclear Energy May be a Clean Energy Option. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Jessica Lovering.
While Hawaii has an ambitious renewable energy portfolio (100% of electricity from renewables by 2045), the state's mix is still 70% fossil fuels. Puerto Rico examined the option of small nuclear energy and found it would benefit the reliability and resilience of their grid at a reasonable cost. Hawaii would likewise benefit from such a study. Even with significant growth in renewable energy and cost reductions, it will still be difficult to balance the grid without a low-carbon baseload such as nuclear energy. New nuclear designs are smaller, and factory fabrication could make them faster and cheaper, making them an attractive option for a balanced clean energy grid.

So Many Causes, so Little Time and Money. The host for this show is Stephanie Dalton. The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch and Karen Buzzard.
We get so many requests for money every day, email, calls, tobo calls, mail spam, and for that matter friends and acquaintances, all asking us to support a given cause and save the country, or world. And so many of these requests are from or for causes, organizations and candidates we're really not sure about. Assuming the action we're able to take to save the country is limited to sending money to some cause, organization or candidate, how do we vet the people asking and how do we chose the beneficiaries of our generosity. What research is appropriate, and where can we look. How do we avoid sending our money down a rathole or losing it to a scam. The members of our panel tell you what they do and try to provide guidelines as to what we can do.

But Can They Spend it. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Tom Yamachika.
The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) administers about 200,000 acres of public lands to be leased to native Hawaiians, upon which they may live, farm, ranch, and engage in commercial or other activities. The list of Native Hawaiians awaiting homestead land leases has been growing steadily from nearly 26,000 in 2010 to more than 28,700 today. It’s no exaggeration to say that scores of Hawaiians have died on the wait list. This year's Legislature proposes to provide $600 million, more than any other year in history, to DHHL. But can they spend the money? Experience with the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant program gives us cause for concern.

VP Pence Distances Himself from Trump. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guests are Winston Welch, Cynthia Lee Sinclair and Karen Buzzard.
At a meeting before The Federalist Society last Friday, Former VP Pence made a declarative statement that put him at odds with Trump and his loyalists. He said, "Trump is wrong" and "Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of our election and Kamala Harris will have no right to overturn the election when we beat them in 2024." Did Pence just ruin his chance for a presidential bid in 2024? Maybe. However, he proved total obedience to Trump and his Big Lie is not rock solid. The bigger question is, has the 2024 election for Republicans now become a binary choice? Is it required for Republicans to chose between a) Trump and his insistence that the 2020 election be overturned or b) the democratic principals to the rule of law, the Constitution, and to free and fair elections? For brave GOP politicians such as Liz Cheney R-WY), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), they have chosen the path away from Trump and toward their oath of office and country first.

You Have to Understand History and Policy. The host for this show is Stan Osserman. The guest is Dan Gowin.
The old saying that "Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it." needs a slight update. Not only do you have to read history, you have to understand the context, the circumstances and the "players". It appears that many today, don't understand the mistakes we've made in energy policy in the past 50 years and are baffled that their current policies are disasters. Stan and Dan give some clarity and hopefully some solutions.

Honolulu is Hot, Trees Are Cool. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Dan Dinell.
In sunny Hawaii, trees offer refreshing coolness, they cool down entire neighborhoods, they reduce or eliminate the need for air conditioning, bringing Hawaii closer to 100% clean energy; they invite people to the healthy outdoors; they absorb carbon dioxide--the prime climate change gas; they provide habitat for birds and wildlife; they raise property values and provide stately beauty. Yet Honolulu is losing tree canopy while temperatures are rising and heat islands are becoming more pervasive. Mr. Dinell, president of Trees for Honolulu's Future, a nonprofit focused on bringing attention to our urban forests, explores green solutions to cooling down our hottest areas.

What Does our Two Party System Stand for. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Winston Welch.
Looking at our two party system prior to the 2022 mid-term elections, one should stand back to examine what each party stands for. In the GOP it's obvious that it's still the party of Trump and all that goes with that, to include election denial, COVID19 vaccination denial, mask mandates optional, support for voter suppression, and erosion of democratic norms. The Democrat party is splintered between those who wish to spend trillions in social programs, extreme tax and immigration reforms versus those who want a moderate approach. Our discussion looks at the pros and cons of each parties approach to the the 2022 election.

On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law, and the Employee Retention Credit sunset date was moved from 12/31/2021 date to 9/30/2021 (for businesses other than ARPA Recovery Startup Businesses). HOWEVER, this does not mean the ERC was eliminated! Eligible businesses may still apply for stimulus funds based on financials between 3/13/2020-9/30/2021. Additionally, under the ERC is the Recovery Startup Businesses program. This program covers businesses started after February 15, 2020. These businesses can still receive tax credits through the end of 2021. The ERC offers qualified startup businesses a credit of up to $50,000 for the third and fourth quarters of 2021. We are discussing all of these updates and finding out more about what qualifies as a start up business program.

Hawaii’s energy transition has reached an advanced stage of complexity with higher penetrations of renewable energy resources and energy storage systems (ESS), grid improvements, efficiency measures, and efforts to decarbonize energy in transportation.
The Hawaii Energy Policy Forum (HEPF) plans to coordinate an open and frank dialogue and investigation on the most pressing gaps in Hawaii’s energy transition and what policy interventions are needed to continue to drive and guide change. With the recently passed $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (aka, Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill), HEPF’s 2022 Legislative Day Briefing presents an expert view of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill with two sessions addressing the most vulnerable aspects of Hawaii’s energy infrastructure.

Failure of Major Bills Spells 2022 Disaster. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Winston Welch.
Failure to obtain Senators Manchine and Sinema's cooperation to support the Build Back Better Bill and voting rights legislation spells trouble for Democrats in the mid-term 2022 elections. It remains to be seen as to what behind efforts have been made to persuade GOP Senators to support a specific modification of the filibuster to allow a 51 vote majority to pass voting rights legislation. According to Senator Mitt Romney, no one has asked for his cooperation. If true, a gigantic miscalculation has taken place. It's obvious that the Biden Administration needs to examine how it has attempted to garner support for its legislative agenda, and hit the reset button before its too late. If either bill fails to pass by September 2022, the House Democrats will take a back seat, thereby forcing President Biden to claim lame duck status for the rest of his term.

We are in an era of rapid constant change, ongoing turbulence, incessant flow of overlapping opportunities, problems requiring major conversions, alterations and or reversals. It doesn't matter if the change your facing is exhilarating or frightening. You can't do anything to slow the pace of change itself. You can only increase the pace at which you absorb it, says Darryl Connor, best selling author on change. Resilient people regain their equilibrium faster and tend to rebound from the demands of change even stronger than before. Creative thinking plays a major role in developing and enhancing your resiliency.

A glimpse of the future, through their eyes, in their words: Their aspirations, plans and visions for themselves and their world
4 millennials share their thoughts, and an encouraging, promising outlook emerges
Generalizations should be avoided, but these 4 represent Generation We (there is no 'gen me'). They are comfortable and at ease with technology, believe they are aided by its limitless offerings and advantages, and are neither dismayed nor discouraged by what others see as threats or fears. They convey confidence, hopefulness and resiliency; value success by their impact, output and contributions to and for the benefit of others; and not by traditional measures of individual advancement and accumulation. Each self-identifies as a 'global citizen' with some overriding calling to be of positive use to their communities and fellow human beings

400 Million in Unused Federal Money. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Tom Yamachika.
One of the ways our government provides a safety net for those less fortunate is through a program called Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF. TANF was enacted in 1996 as a program that replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), which used to provide cash assistance to families with children experiencing poverty. Under TANF, the federal government provides a block grant to the states, which then use these funds to run their own programs. To receive federal funds, states must also spend some of their own dollars on those programs and face severe fiscal penalties if they fail to do so. This state-spending requirement, known as the “maintenance of effort” (MOE) requirement, replaced the state match that AFDC required.
So what have we done with the federal TANF money?
We’ve let it pile up unused.

Putin's Gamble to Build Back Russian States. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Winston Welch.
Putin is playing a high stakes game of chicken with the USA and NATO nations. With over 100,000 Russian troops poised on three sides of Ukraine's borders, it appears an invasion is immediate. Once again, the west is reminded of Russia's dream for the return of the Soviet states, which never went away after the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet nation. Diplomatic talks occurred this week in attempts to avoid a military conflict with Russia. Warnings of severe economic sanctions against Russia have been delivered to Putin. The specifics of those sanctions are not clear. Putin remains steadfast that Ukraine shall never become a NATO nation. That position is a deal breaker for the west. How this conflict gets resolved remains unanswered.

Forces at Work to Replace a World Beacon. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection of the Capital. What we have learned is there were multiple points of intersection where Trump's attempt to reverse a democratic free election was present.
Just a few examples are:
Attempts to pressure VP Pence to enact the decertification the Electoral College votes.
Trump's call to the GA Sectary of State to find 11,780 more votes to swing the vote count to his favor.
Pressure to have the DOJ call the election filled with fraud.
108 minutes of Trump's inaction and dereliction of duty to dissuade a violent crowd from further insurrection.
Almost daily, we learn more facts of the events leading up to Jan. 6.
We've seen the suspension of democracy in this country in the past, but now we face the growing attitude and acceptance that violence is an acceptable form of action to overturn election results. What can we do about it? The panel will explore that question.

Musician Practicing Limitless Creativity. The host for this show is Darlene Boyd. The guest is Dan Tepfer.
Dan Tepfer has earned an international reputation as a pianist composer of wide ranging ambition, individuality and drive. He grew up studying classical piano and obsessively improvising jazz at home. Dan shares how he has navigated the divide between these two routes. At this point recognizably his deepest roots lie in jazz and improvisation. Dan discusses how he is drawn to exploring different means of expression for his music in order to further isolate the message from the medium. Dan is driven to get right at the music itself.
Much of the discussion in this interview focuses on a solo project five years in the making. The project finds Dan exploring in real time via the Yamaha Disklavier, the intersection between science and art, between coding and improvisation, between digital algorithms and the rhythms of the heart. Dan's intimate discussion of his creative process is riveting.
Dan often pairs with noteworthy musicians in performances and album productions.

Federal Programs that Preempt Taxes. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Tom Yamachika.
In this country, a foreign trade zone (FTZ) is a geographical area, in (or adjacent to) a United States Port of Entry, where commercial merchandise, both domestic and foreign, receives the same Customs treatment as if it were outside the United States. The zones help American businesses to be competitive in the global economy by reducing tariff burdens on the importation of foreign inputs and on exported finished products.
For a while, the Department of Taxation was telling folks that a FTZ was a “federal enclave,” where the laws of the states just don’t apply.
They have since figured out that they made a mistake, and they are seeking compensation (back taxes) from everyone involved.

CBO Ranks Social Infastructure Bill at $3T. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
Senator Joe Manchin thought the Build Back Better Bill was not reflecting the true cost of the multiple provisions contained and the impact on the national debt. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) just issued its report to vindicate his suspicions. The cost to fund the Bill stands at three Trillion dollars, not the two Trillion as initially estimated. Senator Manchin stated months ago he has no appetite to vote for any infrastructure bill beyond his stated ceiling of $1.75T. In addition, Senator Manchin has concerns that inflation has hit a 35 year high of 6.8%, and the bills distribution of funds will further increase inflation. President Biden argues that just the opposite will occur. The bill is in serious trouble of not passing. President Biden needs this victory in order to have House Representatives go back to their districts and describe their 2021 accomplishments in time for the 2022 mid-term elections.

Ammonia is a critical component in fertilizer but it also happens to be a good way to pack a lot of hydrogen atoms into a liquid at room temperature. The chemical symbol for ammonia is NH3, one nitrogen atom and 3 hydrogen atoms. Ammonia is made using nitrogen from the air and combining it with hydrogen, but is making ammonia a good thing to do? We discuss that with Dan Gowin.

Pandemic Challenges. The host for this show is Sheryl Matsuoka. The guests are Chivon Garcia, Raymond Orozco and Alohalani Aran.
As Hawaii’s restaurants and food service establishments struggle with reduced sales and employee shortages. We are now challenged by the supply chain disruption the COVID pandemic has created. To assist our restaurant & food service industry the Hawaii Restaurant Association a is requesting an industry exemption from the City and County of Honolulu on Bill 40. Restaurants do want to be compliant. We all live here in paradise and we understand that we need to protect our Aina. The bottom line is that manufacturers cannot get the materials to create food service ware. This shortage of materials is affecting our manufacturers who cannot get a steady flow of products. This impacts our healthcare facilities, our schools, the military and anyone in the foodservice industry.

GOP Blueprint to Destroy US Democracy. The host for this show is Stephanie Dalton. The guests are Jay Fidell and Tim Apicella.
The Guest Panel discusses Barton Gellman's article, "Trump's Next Coup Has Already Begun," in The Atlantic proposing several profound misunderstandings about Trump's activities in the past year. The Capital assault, the assault participants, and the GOP's antidemocratic revision of election officials and procedures at the state level didn't require use of Presidential authority. How did Trump imperil the electoral process and power transfer to better position himself for influence and, likely, reelection? Why did these actions go unconfronted by Democrats? Guests suggest new frameworks to explain what happened? Gellman's article carries dire predictions, about states likely to have close elections in 2024, and especially about the survival of US Democracy. Guests propose Democrats’ next steps against the GOP’s systematic effort to nullify election results and reverse them in favor of Trump.

2022 a Year Full of Optimism and Hope. The host for this show is Jon Conching.
Just when it appeared that the world was opening up for travel and that blue skies were literally ahead of us, the ominous appearance of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 has reared its head to say "not so fast." Since then, a number of countries have reinstated stronger restrictions for inbound travel from specific regions of the world. Others have instituted arrival quarantines and/or multiple testing protocols and the financial markets reacted accordingly. Here in Hawaiʻi, restrictions have eased and at this point, while medical facilities appear to be at the ready, new infections appear to have risen, but now that the State is generally restriction free, it would be a challenge to revert back to stricter protocol. So the visitor industry continues to move forward, visitor arrivals peak, then valley and all are waiting for what the holidays and Q1 of 2022 bring.

Artist and writer, Jon Pearson, discusses the joy and power of creativity in business, art and life. Jon espouses that creativity isn't just a a set of cool techniques. It's YOU the creator. It's your personality, your predilections and your patterns. Creativity is highly personal. Often, what isn't discussed, is what blocks creativity. Blocking occurs not just in a group setting but in your own personal creativity.
Jon discusses key strategies that enable us to fire our inner critic and rejuvenate our lives.
What good is your creativity if you don't think to use it? Creativity will save the world.
Pearson, helps us to better understand that we are far more creative than we think we are. Pearson encourages us to trust the genius of our imagination and let our minds go.
He believes in structure, rules of the game and creative constrictions. However, the oomph of creativity, the desire for it, the pleasure of it, according to Pearson, is elemental.

A Business Analysis by Aaron Solmon. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Aron Solomon.
Many start-ups struggle with whether the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) they're launching is too minimum and would therefore be non-viable. According to Aron Solomon, legal analyst, entrepreneur, start-up founder and investor, "The notion of MVP has always had its pros and cons, but the often bitter cocktail of time pressure, competition, and agile software development made the MVP the ongoing easy choice."
However, Solomon has recently introduced the concept of the Initial Viable Product (IVP) to the founders he works with, which has resonated with most. Solomon explains, "the IVP isn't just a hyper-iterated MVP. It's the first truly viable product you choose to launch. You're going to be judged on the first thing you launch - everyone is. Incessant explaining that it's just your MVP and it's not really ready yet is sometimes fine, and I've seen many, many other times where that's the dealbreaker in itself. Why? Because your idea of minimal is far more minimal than that of the person you're showing it to. Minimal is a sliding scale that will always slide onto you."
Solomon explains the concept of IVP and how using this model can be beneficial to start-ups, help legally protect ideas and refine product development.

The Unending State of Emergency. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Tom Yamachika.
A “state of emergency,” which causes the Governor’s emergency powers to kick in, is supposed to terminate automatically after sixty days.
Our Governor has gotten around this limitation by proclaiming a continued emergency just before the sixty-day clock runs out, thereby restarting the sixty-day clock. Most of us have lost count of the number of emergency proclamations.
Legislators, understandably, are getting perturbed that they are being left out, and will be introducing measures to give the Legislature a veto power over all or a part of an emergency proclamation.
The Governor, on the other hand, says that Hawaii is doing better than most states because of the emergency powers he has wielded. “I would say this: Virtually every single state that tied the governor’s hands has regretted it,” Ige is quoted as saying.
In this episode, we discuss the tension over the Governor's emergency powers and possible action to be taken in the 2022 Legislature.

Why Testing Weapons in Space is a Bad Idea. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Winston Welch.
If you saw the sci-fi movie Gravity a few years ago, it was about astronauts working on repairs on a space station when the unthinkable occurred: Russia destroyed a satellite within the same orbit of the space station. The thousands of pieces of space debris became a life threat to those living in the station. Sometimes life imitates art because essentially that's close to what occurred when Russia conducted a missile strike in space. Currently, NASA tracks thousands of pieces of space junk that travel at great speeds in Earth's orbit. Russia and China just added to the list of debris that can potentially damage satellites or worse the International Space Station, and jeopardize the lives of astronauts. This hazard is well understood by Russia. They didn't care and ignored an informal agreement to keep space free of weapons, and equally important, not test weapons which create new debris fields. The Biden Admin. loudly protested. As usual, Russia could care less. What should US do now?

What's Behind GOP Culture War-Not Democrats. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Winston Welch.
Some in the GOP thinks Kyle Rittenhouse is a mythic hero. Trump thinks so. Tucker Carlson thinks he is. GOP Rep Josh Hawley wants to offer him an internship. Time to connect the dots. The Rittenhouse trial focused on a 17 year old boy who traveled to Kenosha, WI from Antioch, IL with an AR-15 to "protect his community" from Black Lives Matter (BLM)protesters. Killing two and wounding one was not about an act of a vigilante, but rather a hero standing up to BLM crowd. It's GOP leaders that see him as a national symbol for standing up to a Democratic city government and police dept. that sat by and allowed destruction of property from BLM. Trump said he "helped save Kenosha" and the jury decision to acquit was a 'great decision'. Where else have we seen Trump and conservatives defend deplorables (supremacists) acting in the name of protecting white heritage? Charlottesville SC in 2017. Trump claimed there were "good people on both sides." More to come.

Black Swans on the Horizon. The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf.
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy fifty-eight years ago seemed impossible until it happened. Fig shares his recollection of the day and its aftermath, and ways that the event changed the course of history. That was a black swan - a a phenomenon that occurs even though it had been thought to be impossible.
Fig examines the situation in Chile where a presidential election and revision of the constitution may fundamentally change what is arguably the most stable and successful democracy in Latin America. The black swan in this equation was a 30-peso (US$0.05) in October 2019 that sparked over two years of unrest and upheaval and set the stage for a political earthquake. Fig talks about the possible consequences and how it may relate to the political situation in the United States.

Veterans Should be Thanked Not Pitied. The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf.
Fig, a 33-year Air Force veteran, selects on the meaning of Veterans Day. Yes, military veterans sacrifice and some suffer - but they ought not be pitied. Just 6% of Americans are military veterans. Fully 75% of young Americans are not even qualified to serve. Since 1973, all members of the military have been volunteers. They join for a variety of reasons - sense of obligation, desire for education, and sometimes simply to escape from whatever they need to escape from. In return, they earn unique connections, purpose and mastery in difficult times and places. Thank them for their service by being an American worth defending.

A Rumor Greatly Exaggerated. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Tom Yamachika.
On November 4, the Supreme Court of Hawaii released its decision in League of Women Voters v. State. The decision was a huge step in the right direction. But will it get rid of all gut-and-replaces and eliminate Frankenbills (where pieces of dead bills get new life by stuffing them into tangentially related other bills with a suitable title)? Probably not. Amendments are still allowed. A person challenging a bill still needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the bill is unconstitutional. And remember, it took a 3-2 vote to hold that recidivism and hurricane shelters are unrelated. The standard the court seems to be adopting is “whether the amendments and the original bill constitute a unifying scheme to accomplish a single purpose.” Determining what is or is not germane is not going to be easy in most cases.

Culture Issues and Action will Win 2022. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
President Clinton had a sign on his desk that stated, "It's the economy, stupid." That's still true today, however to win the 2022 mid-term elections it will also require passing bills that benefit everyday working Americans (Covid-19 Stimulus and the Infrastructure is a good start). And the social infrastructure bill. However, Democrats can't stop there. They will need to answer and defend attacks from the GOP on a wide range of ginned up cultural issues that attract the passions of Trump voters. Critical Race Theory in school vaccine mandates, defund the police, Second Ammendment rights are just a few that Democrats will need to address and ensure they are not defined by those false flag issues. Aggressive messaging is required from Democrat candidates to win the 2022 election, and it's not for the faint of heart to do it. Failure is not an option.

Following the December revolution of 2018, the Sudanese people make headway in the transition to democracy. On October 25, 2021, however, the military in Sudan ordered the dissolution of the civilian-led government and carried out sweeping arrests against activists, human rights defenders, and ministers including Prime Minister Dr. Abdalla Hamdok. This is a major setback since the removal of the former dictator Omar al-Bashir from Office. The military takeover threatens to derail Sudan's path to democracy, just as the country had begun to resurface after decades of autocratic rule, global isolation, and crippling economic sanctions.

Super-efficient Ground Transportation. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Parker Kushima.
Cities worldwide move people around at a fraction of Hawaii energy use. Hubs in Hawaii is a blueprint for emulating those cities by getting people out of their cars and using a combination of rail, bus, bicycle and individual wheeled modes to move people around in a clean, super-efficient manner. Hong Kong and other cities sell transportation cards at convenience stores. Those cards give users access to rail, ferry and bus transport. Users are notified when the cards run low and can be "refilled" at convenience stores. Hawaii is moving in that direction. Users communicate with rail and buses for up to the minute information.

What You Should Know. The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf.
Dan "Fig" Leaf's expertise and experience bring clarity to the complex issues between China, Taiwan and the United States. When the U.S. and the Peoples' Republic of China normalized relations in 1979, both sides accepted the notion that Taiwan would eventually "reunify" with the mainland. Of course it isn't that simple, and tensions are unusually high in 2021.
This episode will give clarity to the history, present tensions and what is at risk. The three key players in this high stakes drama have different perspectives and interests, leaving plenty of room for misunderstanding and miscalculation.
With military and civilian experience dealing with the China-Taiwan dilemma, and having traveled extensively in both places, Fig frames the key issues and addresses what can and should be done to avoid conflict.

HART Board Actions May be Challenged. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Tom Yamachika.
HART was having difficulty in mustering a quorum and gathering the necessary votes to get things passed. The problem came up as an unintended side effect of 2017 bailout legislation that empowered the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate to each appoint two non-voting members to the HART governing board, whether or not the rest of HART wanted them there. It turned out that a City Charter quorum and voting provision that was incorporated by reference appeared to require eight “yes” votes for anything to pass, although there were only nine voting members.
An eight “yes” voting requirement made it tough to get anything done, especially when voting members who weren’t able to show up were deemed to be voting “no.”
In July, when Hoyt Zia took the chair of HART, he announced that things would be changing. Six votes would be enough, just as it was prior to the 2017 bailout.
Who's right? Sen. Kurt Fevella, as a private citizen, sued to find out.

Grassroot Institute Opposes TAT Surcharge. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Joe Kent.
Grassroot Institute warns that Hawaii's economy is in no condition to sustain a tax increase on visitors to the islands.
The Institute opposes a 3% transient accommodations tax for the City and County of Honolulu, the proceeds of which would be divided between the county's general fund, a special account to "mitigate the impact of visitors on public facilities” and the county's transit fund for the rail project.
Joe Kent, the Institute executive vice president of the Institute, said that with the elimination of the county's share of the state's 10.25% TAT, it is understandable that Honolulu would want to establish its own TAT, but he urged the Council to carefully consider the state of the economy before proceeding with yet another tax increase.

No, They Aren't God. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Tom Yamachika.
In recent weeks, it’s been no secret that the Hawaii State Teachers Association (HSTA) has had some concerns about their working conditions. Schools are about to start up again with in-person instruction. Teachers are then supposed to be teaching a bunch of random kids, few of whom may be vaccinated because vaccines only recently have been approved for early teenagers and still aren’t approved for kids under 12. Oh, and then some teachers are concerned about vaccine mandates. So HSTA filed a “class grievance” – basically a labor complaint – and asked for some dialogue with the Department of Education (DOE) about this. DOE’s response basically told HSTA to go away because the rules were suspended per Governor's proclamation. Can DOE simply tear up the HSTA contract in that fashion?

As Leader of GOP, Trump Repeats GA Disaster. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
Just prior to the 2020 election to determine the next two Georgia Senators, Trump stated the election was rigged. As a result, many GOP voters stayed home, and two Democrat candidates pulled off an upset victory. The GOP had Trump to thank for that loss that shifted the Senate away from Mitch McConnell's leadership position. Now at this week's Iowa rally, Trump is back at it. He stated if the GOP doesn't continue to fight for his election loss, the 'Big Lie', then GOP voters won't turn out for the 2022 and 2024 elections. It's deja vu and Republican leadership should be worried that Trump's words will discourage turnout. With lead weights around the neck of the GOP Party, Trump continues to be the unofficial leader. What are they going to do about it if he continues his reckless refrain of the Big Lie?

GOP Fully on Board with Trumps Big Lie. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Winston Welch.
This week senior GOP House Minority Whip member, Steve Scalise could not bring himself to answer Fox News host Chris Wallace's repeated question if the 2020 election was "stolen" from Donald Trump. The reason? House Representative Steve Scalise, Kevin McCarthy, Senator Mitch McConnell desperately avoid answering the obvious question because they live in fear of Donald Trump and his insistence that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Liz Cheney dared to not follow Trump's talking points, and now she has been ousted from House GOP leadership roles. As mid-term elections are 13 months away, more denial of Trump's loss and the January 6 storming of the Capital will play out as it was all a fabrication, despite what we all saw that day. The GOP will continue on their path of denial and gather energy and threaten the legitimacy of the 2022 election results. The Democrats must now realize that they can't treat 2022 election as normal as nothing is normal in today's politics.

Do you need a booster shot? Tune in to hear vegan Dr. Chen O'Neil clear the air about booster shots. Public health experts recommend boosters only for those whose immune systems prevent them from getting full protection from the original dosage or are at extreme risk. The major concern? The inequitable vaccination among wealthier countries and the global vaccine shortage leaves billions of people unvaccinated and fails to stop widespread transmission. On July 8th, the CDC put out a statement saying: “People who are fully vaccinated are protected from severe disease and death, including from the variants currently circulating in the country such as Delta. People who are not vaccinated remain at risk. Virtually all COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are among those who are unvaccinated. We encourage Americans who have not yet been vaccinated to get vaccinated as soon as possible to protect themselves and their community.”

It Takes More that an Apology. The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf.
Host Dan "Fig" Leaf examines the U.S. drone strike in Afghanistan. Originally touted as a strike against terrorist planning another attack on US forces and Afghan civilians, further examination determined that 10 innocent Afghan civilians were killed. Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Milley, acknowledged the error and called it a "horrible tragedy of war."
Beyond the tepid apologies, neither military or civilian leadership have offered a full explanation. Leaf contrasts that with his own experience in combat, when as a wing commander in combat during Operation Allied Force (the effort to stop Serbian ethnic cleansing), he was called upon to provide a full explanation to a global audience of a similar collateral damage incident just five days after the incident.

Attracting People and Opportunities. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guests are Tom Yamachika and Jim Smith.
Blueprint Nebraska, a campaign dedicated to increasing Nebraska’s economic growth and competitiveness over the next decade, has released its proposed framework for bringing Nebraska’s tax system into the 21st century.
Blueprint Nebraska’s Taxation & Incentives Industry Council took insights from surveys, public forums, and tax policy research to develop a plan that gives Nebraska a regionally-competitive tax climate that is more inviting to workforce talent.
The headline benefits for Nebraskans include allowing taxpayers to earn up to $50,000 free of state income tax, dedicating an additional $2 billion to property tax relief over the next ten years, and an elimination of Nebraska’s inheritance tax. This is in addition to new student loan relief programs and a doubling of Research and Development investments.
We discuss what lessons Hawaii might be able to learn from Nebraska's efforts to attract people and opportunities.

Multiple Bad News Stories Hit at once. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Winston Welch.
The honeymoon is over for the Biden Administration. Seemingly, multiple mistakes have developed and landed on the president's desk with a resounding thud this week: News of the Pentagon admitting the drone strike in Kabul against a would-be ISIS car bomber was in fact a humanitarian volunteer and nine other bystanders, seven of them children. The bridge in Del Rio TX now seen as a launching point for 14k migrants from Haiti appeared suddenly within a couple weeks time. Video images of boarder patrol agents rounding up Haitians on horseback are not being well received. France took steps to withdraw its ambassadors from the USA in protest to being cut of a submarines purchase to Australia. The COVID booster shot that President Biden said would be available is now curtailed to those 65+ and the COVID death toll is 677K. Progress on the infrastructure and voting rights bill have stalled out, and the GOP is not supporting a budget debt ceiling increase. That's not all, but it's enough.

Straighten Your and Your Kid's Posture ASAP. The host for this show is Christine Lynders.
We all love Hawaii. That's a given. And here in the beautiful islands, there is such a thing as a Jabong! More importantly, there is a such a thing creating pain in people's necks, backs and shoulders and it's affecting people all over the world. This "thing" is called a smart phone, a tablet, or other portable device. While these things, in and of themselves, are not bad, the improper posture that adults and children are holding their bodies in is, in fact, bad. Staring down at devices for hours on end, over months and years will cause pain and dysfunction in the bodies of all folks, with children being more at risk as this abnormal position is being sustained in the young developing spine. The young spine is maturing in a position that is certain to create pain in the future. How do we know? Because Christine is treating youth in their teens and twenties with neck and back problems from poor posture. This show educates you on what proper posture is and how to correct it fast.

Operational Law and 1200 Free Fall Jumps. The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf. The guest is Carleton Cramer.
Fig talks with CAPT (Ret) Carlton Cramer, currently the Dean of the College of Security Studies at the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies. He has had, to say the least, a very interesting life. Raised in the Marshall Islands where his father was involved in atomic testing. He attended law school and entered the Navy as a judge advocate general (JAG). His early Navy career involved typical assignments as a prosecuting and then defense attorney, but he migrated to operational law. As an operational lawyer, he first advised commanders of surface ships and aviation units. When he was selected for a special operations assignment, he felt he needed to establish street cred in that world, and attended jump school. Understandably scared on his first free fall jump, Carleton was quickly seduced by the adrenaline of skydiving, whether in uniform or as a civilian. He has over 1200 jumps - and he shares his experiences including four close (very close) calls.

Déjà Vu all over Again. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guests are Chang Wang, Paul Anderson and Alexander H.E. Morawa.
In 1958, then U.S. Senator JFK published “A Nation of Immigrants.” JFK proposed liberalizing immigration law based on his argument that the United States is a country whose population is predominantly made up of non-native people – immigrants and refugees. In “America for Americans,” Professor Erika Lee of the University of Minnesota argued that the U.S. is also a nation of xenophobia. Throughout U.S. history, irrational fears, hatred, and hostility toward immigrants have been defining features. Germans, Irish Catholics, Chinese, Japanese, and Mexicans, etc., have had their times as targets of xenophobia. Today, some Americans fear Muslims, Latinos, Chinese (again), or just “refugees.” The differentiation between “we” and “them,” which sociologists call “othering,” changes over time based on collective fear and prejudice. The phenomenon is not uniquely American but influences, if not defines the political discourse globally.

Conscious Drilling is Critical. The host for this show is Mitch Ewan. The guest is Nicole Lautze.
Water and energy are critical resources to our state. Both are threatened by climate change. UH is conducting two 5+ year-long projects on geothermal and groundwater resources. The groundwater project discovered more groundwater on Hawaii Island than current models account for and a refinement of aquifer boundaries is in order. How such results extend to other islands remains largely unexplored. The geothermal-focused project expanded understanding of groundwater location and quality, collected data in support of residual heat and/or magmatic degassing into groundwater on each island, and measured elevated groundwater temperatures to a depth of 3500 feet. Geothermal has potential to displace Hawaii’s current ~70% reliance on fossil fuels, at a cost to the state of $3B annually. Surface geophysics and small footprint drilling of deep wells will help understand both groundwater and geothermal resources statewide.

Three Elections Rigged Before Vote Count. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Winston Welch.
The recall vote to unseat California's Governor Newsom has already been called out as rigged by the GOP's front runner Larry Elder. Sound familiar? In the 2016 presidential election, then candidate Donald Trump declared the election, months in advance, to be rigged. Why? He was behind in the polls. Then he won. Then he stopped saying the election was riddled with fraud. Fast forward to the 2020 election and Trump's cries that mail in ballots was rigging the election. This time he lost and the creation of " The Big Lie" was born. Not only born but now adopted by mainstream GOP. The Capital attack is a direct result of a lie, The Big Lie, set in motion by a president. So to please the defrocked Trump, the GOP plays along. They adopted a standard talking point that it must be a rigged election as soon as their candidate is failing in the polls. Even the loser for junior high class president accepts the results and is seen in the cafeteria shaking hands with the winner. Not this GOP.

Prosecutions, Imprisonment and Exile. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Michael Davis.
This episode covers the prosecutions under both the National Security Law (NSL) and the existing public order laws of Hong Kong, with the reality that nearly all the pan-democratic forces in Hong Kong have been locked up or forced in exile, with much more of the former than the latter.
On top of that, nearly all the NGOs that stood for human rights and the rule of law have been intimidated into disbanding with ongoing investigations threatening further prosecutions of their members who are not already in jail. Add to that the intimidation of the courts and the bar and we can conclude that the mainland system is being imposed on Hong Kong.
Transitional Justice usually considers transitions away from authoritarianism, but the Hong Kong case is transitional justice in reverse, which perhaps we can call transitional injustice.

Washington DC is the Heart of the Problem. The host for this show is Dan 'Fig' Leaf.
The failed 20-year war in Afghanistan is emblematic of repeated U.S. national security failures? What is the problem? Host, Lt Gen (Ret) Dan "Fig" Leaf gives his hypothesis in this episode. He cites the lack of diversity - not of gender or race, but of thought. He blames this on the DC-centric, politically motivated security community. He also cites blurred lines of responsibility and authority, the over-emphasis on playing to public opinion exacerbated by the information age and social media, oversight failures, and unjustified confidence despite repeated failure. His discussion is non-political (as always), and recommends measures that can be taken to improve U.S. performance in national security matters.

What are your recollections that day, and how does it affect you now. How has it changed your life and view of the world since then, the lives of the people around you and your community and our country. Could this happen again.

Can this Even be Enforced. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Tom Yamachika.
Recently, the Honolulu City Council has taken up the idea of imposing a different tax rate for residences that are vacant.
The idea is contained in Bill 76 (2020), a bill that started off last year, was referred to the Council Budget Committee, and was postponed by the committee in November 2020 after a couple of public hearings with only a couple of members of the public weighing in.
Now, KHON2 is reporting that there is new momentum for the bill following some discussion by the city’s Real Property Tax Advisory Commission. “The idea is to get folks who have vacant homes to rent them out, or to sell them, hopefully to other local people,” Honolulu City Council chair Tommy Waters is quoted as saying.
The contemplated tax would add between 1% and 7%, in other words, an increase of up to 2000%.
But how do you prove that a home is vacant, or, if you're accused of having a vacant home, how do you prove that you live in it?

The State and Counties of Hawaii will draw new voting district maps this year -- and we need to make sure they are fair and representative for everyone in the state and counties.
Right now, the Hawaii State, Honolulu County, and Hawaii County redistricting commissions are preparing to draw voting districts that will represent us for the next decade.
We need these mapmakers to be as transparent as possible about this process -- and we need them to prioritize hearing from communities who have been historically left out of the redistricting process.
These maps will determine who we can elect to represent us at the federal, state, and county levels and what resources our communities receive for the next ten years. That’s why it’s so important that these maps give all of us a fair say.

Now that the new Texas anti abortion law is current law, thanks to zero action from the US Supreme Court to weigh in and stop it, the question is what will be done to halt a law that requires women to carry to term a pregnancy due to rape or incest, or define it as illegal to perform an abortion after six weeks. Ideas to initiate new federal legislation, have the US Justice Department block the Texas law, or obtain a lower US Federal Court ruling may sound good, but may only serve as a temporary means to delay this horrific law for Texas women.

War on Terror Goes On, Enemies to Allies. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell and Winston Welch.
20 years of war in Afghanistan officially ended this week. Like Vietnam, the US entered a war with a set goal and mission. Like Vietnam, time and scope creep fogged up the initial objective. The Afghanistan mission was to destroy Al-Qaeda and kill Osama Bin Laden. Then the mission changed to deliver the Afghanistan people from the harsh life metered out by the Taliban and its strict Muslim theocracy. Then there was a mission to create a new shiny democratic model government. Like Vietnam, it was corrupt to the core. Then something was realized, after 2,469 US troops killed,19k wounded, 71k civilians killed, and $2.2 Trillion spent, we traveled back to May 1975 with a nation wondering why America's longest and unwinnable war lasted 20 years. For what exactly? US troops performed their battle mission with heroism and duty. The military was not designed to seed democracy in a country of 2,000 years of tribal rule. History's lessons must be remembered and guide US foreign policy.

Because Security Matters. The host for this show is Andrew Lanning. The guest is Steve D. Sims.
Misunderstandings are a leading cause of communication problems in personal relationships, business relationships, and cultural relationships. Communication problems lower the level of understanding between parties, increasing the risk that one or both parties in the relationship will confuse the importance of a particular issue they're trying to resolve. In a security relationship, this confusion can lead to loss or damage to property, or loss or injury to a life.

Is Hawaii at or near that Point?. The host for this show is Jay Fidell. The guest is Tom Yamachika.
One fundamental assumption that has been made over the years by our lawmakers is that if you enact a tax, money will be raised. What if that weren’t true?
In late 2019, a pair of economists, Enrico Moretti and Daniel Wilson, published a paper titled “Taxing Billionaires: Estate Taxes and the Geographical Location of the Ultra-Wealthy.” In that paper, they followed the movement of 400 of the nation’s richest people (the “Forbes 400”) and came up with a mathematical model to predict the chances that a particular rich person would move out of state in response to either an enactment of or a hike in that state’s estate tax. If the person moved out, that person's contribution to the state's income and sales taxes would significantly drop, or dry up entirely.
They predicted that Hawaii would LOSE money if it raised its estate tax.

When the Mississippi and Alabama Poison Control Centers receive multiple calls from people ingesting ivermectin, a horse and cow dewormer, that means we have returned to the days when people were taking hydroxychloroquine and cleaning products, thanks to Trump's promotion of COVID19 quack treatments. However, this time it was three Fox show hosts that proclaimed that ivermectin was not only beneficial, but is used around the world as an effective treatment to COVID virus infection. Facebook and Twitter prohibits people from spreading false information about COVID and vaccines. Who shuts Fox down from doing the same thing, and worse yet gives it's audience the notion that a cow dewormer will work? On 8/21/2021 the FDA had to tweet the following message, "You're not a horse you are not a cow. Seriously y'all. Stop it". When Fox promotes poison as COVID treatment, agreed, stop it.

Exit Plan to Leave Afghanistan, a Failure. The host for this episode is Tim Apicella. The guests for this episode are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.
On April 29, 1975 the images of helicopters packed full of S. Vietnamese trying to escape the invading N Vietnamese army off the Saigon embassy rooftop was an image that no one ever wanted to see again. A stain on the US reputation for leaving those who closely worked with the US military behind is history. Now fast forward to Kabul to an airport separated by barbed wire. On one side, the military side, an orderly exit of US personnel onto military aircraft. On the other side, the commercial side, a desperate exodus of the Afghans who know of their certain fate from the Taliban if they don't get a flight out. A heart wrenching chaotic attempt to flee Afghanistan is taking place. Stories of pilots unable to take off due to passenger overload, and refusal of passengers to exit the plane or Afghans falling from the C17 plane's wheel well back onto the tarmac as the plane rolled down the runway for takeoff and once in flight. Memories and visuals of Saigon, but worse, far worse.

An Innovator's Survival Guide.
The hosts for this episode are Darlene Boyd and Phyllis Blees. The guest for this episode is Rosemary Rein.
Now more than ever, innovation is the key to not only surviving but thriving in business and in life. Not too long ago, the best minds in innovation in Silicon Valley, came together and identified four show stoppers to organizational innovation. Solutions to those blockers or show stoppers emerged, indicating that innovation happens every day, not just once in a while. Our guest, Rosemary Rein, author of "Go Wild, Survival Skills for Business and Life", discusses evolved solutions from the Silicon Valley Summit and suggestions for successful implementation of these solutions.
The show's discussion focuses around identifying and implementing ways to overcome innovation show stoppers in business and in one's personal life. For example, one of the changes we have seen since COVID is how the seasonality of innovation efforts and events is replaced with innovation. Innovation is then incorporated into daily work that can bridge across the virtual remote world and physical world.

Justice – Top Down or Bottom up. The hosts for this episode are Jay Fidell and Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Tony Tate.
Rwanda was plunged into a genocide that killed at least 500,000 persons in a one hundred-day period. To seek justice for the victims, three different types of criminal proceedings were enacted. Perhaps best known is the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda which targeted the ringleaders of the genocide. Equally important were national trials held in Rwanda and a series of community-led hearings known locally as gacaca. The discussion will focus briefly on what happened during the genocide and then discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the three criminal proceedings.

LED's, Super-efficiency, Cool Lighting.
New technology is inundating us--witness the iPhone which did not exist 15 years ago and now dominates our lives. Electric lighting is improving at a mile a minute. From the incandescent lamp, largely unchanged since Edison, to fluorescent lamps to compact fluorescent lamps and now to LED's, improvements have been rapid and revolutionary. LED's are now seven times more efficient than incandescents (think 10 mpg vs. 70 mpg.)
Incandescents were hot enough to set fires while LED's are barely warm. They come in any color and can be used for virtually any application..

Failure in Afghanistan Has Many Fathers.
The host, a combat veteran of the conflicts in Serbia and Iraq, examines the many causes of the failure of U.S. and allied efforts in Afghanistan. Fig was in the Pentagon on 9/11/01 and deployed to both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. His examination of the tragic outcome we are witnessing as the U.S. withdraws is easily non-political as there is plenty of blame to go around.
He addresses the strategic decisions made at the national level and operational military choices that led to the Taliban retaking Afghanistan. The costs are myriad and immense to the U.S., to military members that served there, and to the Afghan people, and second order consequences are bound to multiply over time..

This show poses the public’s questions often asked about what students have missed and what they greatly need to gain in post-pandemic classrooms in schools reimagined for all to learn..

The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guests for this episode are Peter Hoffenberg and Jean Rosenfeld.
Peter Hoffenberg and Jean Rosenfeld help us understand The Reenactments of Myths in American History; The Insurrection was Reenactment of a Myth. We discuss We discuss one particular myth, the Fourth Turning, adhered to by Steve Bannon, ignored by the pundit class even when he brought it up in debate and interviews. and its uncritical acceptance by people who should know better.
Then there is the myth of America's founding, which was expounded by Trump on July 3 and 4 to a national audience. Then there is the myth of the South and its "lost cause." Myth is made real when followers dedicate themselves to enacting it, and it is not possible to "correct" it by providing mere facts.
This is why January 6 looked like a Reenactment show on steroids. This suggests that without myth, a nation cannot cohere, but when myths duel or change, so do the politics of national identity.

Government Takes Your Money and Time Too.
The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Tom Yamachika.
“The Atlantic” argues persuasively that government not only taxes people by taking their money, but also imposes administrative burdens that waste countless precious hours of people’s time.
American benefit programs are, as a whole, difficult and sometimes impossible for everyday citizens to use. Our red tape entangles millions of people who are struggling to find a job, failing to feed their kids, sliding into poverty, or managing a disabling health condition.
Nationally, the time tax is regressive, falling most heavily on the poor, the less educated, the ethnic minorities. Agencies implementing the laws want to weed out the fraudsters and the liars, and those otherwise unworthy. As a result, claimants, if they find out about the benefit at all, face an uphill battle between navigating through complex qualification requirements and dealing with an agency that is more focused on having a claimant run the gauntlet than in cooperating to get that claimant the benefits allowed by law..

But these qualities of Architecture are increasingly out of reach of affordability for an increasing amount of people which is why people increasingly feel out of touch with architecture which gets architecture in trouble.
Automobiles on the other hand provide similar properties (of providing the bubble sheltered space and a feeling of secure privacy) and remain relatively more accessible to people as a more affordable and able to change commodity which is why pandemic populated people are increasingly in touch with their automobiles..

Romantic Comedy Vs. Love Story. The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is George Casen.
A review comparing the romantic comedy "To Rome With Love" (2012) with a serious love story "The Last Letter From Your Lover" (2021). "To Rome With Love" displays four vignettes based in Rome, Italy. This is a typical Woody Allen movie, with many comedic scenes. The plot of the vignette about a recently married young couple who veer from their recent marriage vows, is copied from a 1952 Federico Fellini Movie entitled "The White Sheik." The other three vignettes are about an American student who finds love with an Italian attorney, a young architectural student torn between two loves and a clerk who finds instant fame. "The Last Letter From Your Lover" is about how a newspaper reporter discovers a secret love affair from the 1960s, and also her current love interest.

Health Ins. Premiums Soar? Who Pays?. The cost of hospitalization is high, especially if it's for days, weeks, or months.

Who pays for the thousands of dollars of medical care required for those who could have prevented hospitalization by simply getting the shots? If it's not state or the federal government tax dollars paying for it, then you can feel confident it's going to be those who have insurance and will see their monthly medical insurance premiums climb? Is it unreasonable to expect the unvaccinated to cost share for their decisions? Smokers pay a higher insurance premium (most states can charge 50% higher) for a patient to exercise their "freedom and rights". Is it time to require big co-pays for those who insist on their freedoms and choose to avoid the shots?

Automobiles on the other hand provide similar properties (of providing the bubble sheltered space and a feeling of secure privacy) and remain relatively more accessible to people as a more affordable and able to change commodity which is why pandemic populated people are increasingly in touch with their automobiles.

As Hawaii’s 2021 legislative session came to a close on April 29, many Hawaii residents were disappointed by the failure of the Legislature to approve HB103, which would have placed limits on the governor’s emergency powers.

A New Prosecutor: Third Time Lucky?. The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Marialejandra Moreno Mantilla.
In 2004, the first ICC Prosecutor decided to open a preliminary examination into the Colombian situation, being the longest PE to date.

However, it has not decided to request authorization to open an investigation.
As part of the 2016 Peace Agreement, Colombia established the Special Jurisdiction for Peace to prosecute conflict-related crimes committed by FARC and State Forces. However, hostilities have continued, as well as the targeting of human rights defenders and former guerrilla members.

GOP Strategy Openly Favors the Rich. The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Roger Epstein.
Roger Epstein, tax attorney, helps us cover the New York Times piece entitled Should Only the Little People Pay Taxes; the GOP Strategy Openly Favors the Rich. Republicans negotiating over a possible infrastructure bill have ruled out paying for it in part by giving the IRS more resources to go after tax evasion. There is a “tax gap,” taxes owed but not paid, of more than $500 billion every year. Joe Biden proposes giving the IRS enough resources to reduce this gap as a way to help pay for investment in America’s future. But will it will apparently have to do so without Republican support.

The USA is starting to enter its fourth wave of COVID infection. This time around, the Delta Variant, is much stronger, deadlier, and far easier to transmit the mutation is found in over 80% of new cases. We knew it would land on our shores from the UK. And now that's it's infecting those who are not vaccinated at a much faster rate, the question is how do public health officials and the Biden Administration blunt the infection and hospitalization rate? Should the USA follow what French President Macron has ordered for all unvaccinated residents to do? Residents are prohibited from entering all government and private organizations. There are those who decry that's not fair. Then there are those who say it's not fair for the unvaccinated put others at risk for infection, and create an environment where society, business are forced to shut down yet again due to high infection rates and reduced hospital bed capacity. Fairness versus selfishness will be explored on this week's show.

In New York, they found that unvaccinated people have 33 times the risk of infection than vaccinated people do. Yet, the media keeps harping on the few vaccinated people who get sick! Not just with covid, but with a lot of other things, the innumeracy (akin to numerical illiteracy) in our society cripples our ability to rationally assess risks and benefits. Innumeracy kills!

When your organization is called out by the President of the United States and its Surgeon General stating you're responsible for the deaths of Americans due to allowing posts of false or misleading vaccine or virus information, you may want to reconsider what content you allow on your platform. That's what happened to both Twitter and Facebook this week. As a result of this ongoing problem of not blocking comments that deny that the vaccine can save lives or the Delta variant is far deadlier than COVID, ThinkTechHawaii has decided to suspend its participation on Facebook's social media platform. Why was this decision was made will be the topic of this week's show.

I dreamt I could fly. The host for this episode is Dan 'Fig' Leaf. This first episode introduces the premise of the show that all great achievements such as advances in peace-making, technological advances, and personal accomplishment begin as figments, mere ideas. Mere figments that somehow, usually through hard work and persistence, become reality. A story that changed the host’s life makes the case. Host Dan “Fig” Leaf spent over 36 years in the Air Force as a fighter pilot, but that should never has happened as he is color-blind. With the help of an optometrist and a lackluster sergeant, he serendipitously slipped through the system and fulfilled his figment. After the Air Force he became a business executive, an educator, and a thought-leader on the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region, but none of that would have been possible if he had not held on to his fanciful notion that he could fly.

Biden's China policy- which way is up?. China is no longer the China President Biden had dealt with four years ago when he was the Vice President in the Obama administration. The U.S.-China relationship is a priority for President Biden and perhaps the most important task of his tenure.
Is there a bipartisan consensus challenging China? As far as the U.S.-China trade deal, Biden is under pressure not to depart from Trump's approach, at least in the short-term rolling back the tariffs. The recent inking of the EU-China investment deal and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RECEP) involving China and 14 other Asia-Pacific nations, including Japan, douses Biden's proposed development of a multilateral approach to China.
The discussion will also focus on how Biden expects to deal with other contentious issues –intellectual property protection, “China Initiative” and the China travel ban put in place by previous administration.
