WORLDWIDE NUKES: There are 9 nuclear-armed nations (US, Russia, China, France, the UK, Pakistan, India, Israel, and North Korea)…and if you’re living in an American city today, big or small, there’s a nuclear weapon pointed directly at you right now.   Conversely, the US has 1,770 nukes pointing at cities across the world.

NO CHECKS AND BALANCES: The U.S. president has sole authority to launch nuclear weapons - no Congress or military advisor approval needed! If a military satellite indicates America is under nuclear attack, and a 2nd early-warning radar confirms that information, then the president of the United States launches nuclear missiles in response—before any nuclear bomb strikes U.S. soil. Said differently, the U.S. doesn’t wait to absorb the nuclear blow.

NO RECALL:  Once a missle is launched, it cannot be aborted.  Ever. The clock is ticking.

SNEAK ATTACK - Called “Bolt out of the Blue” - it’s a deadly first strike.  The US fears this could happen in an attack on the Pentagon.

6 MINUTES: In a six-minute window, the president must decide how many nuclear weapons to use and which targets to strike—while also being briefed on estimates of how many millions of people, would be instantly incinerated, with an almost equal number dying days, weeks, and months later from radiation poisoning. Nuclear war is the only scenario—other than an asteroid strike—that could end civilization in a matter of hours. The soot from burning cities and forests would blot out the sun and cause a nuclear winter. State-of-the-art climate modeling predicts five billion humans would die. In the words of Nikita Khrushchev, “The survivors will envy the dead.”

In NUCLEAR WAR, Anne Jacobsen examines the ticking-clock scenario of what would unfold in the seconds, minutes, and hours following the launch of a nuclear attack against the United States, and in so doing, exposes what the government and military do not want to the public to understand about the current state of nuclear weapons.

In honor of the rise of Bob Dylan’s breakthrough single, “Like a Rolling Stone” hitting the pop charts on July 24, 1965, I wanted to get ahead of next week's news cycle to see if you might be interested in hosting Scott G. Shea, leading music historian and author of the best-selling book, “All the Leaves Are Brown: How the Mamas Came Together and Broke Apart,” on your show to discuss how the song and the artist impacted western music and culture. Before the world heard that song, Dylan was far from mainstream and relevant in mostly small metropolitan and university music circles. "Like a Rolling Stone" changed all that. Along with the Byrds and the Lovin’ Spoonful, he ushered in the era we now know as folk-rock.

Scott is available to discuss the significance of the song’s impact and uniqueness. Along with the Byrds and the Lovin’ Spoonful, Bob Dylan helped usher in the genre we now know as folk-rock, which Scott describes as the first successful and significant U.S. response to the British Invasion led by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Scott can address the unlikeliness of the song’s popularity. Dylan’s vocals were raw and unorthodox in comparison to most hit singers in the history of pop music and the single clocked in at an astounding 6:07, shattering the previous record held by the Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” which clocked in at 3:45. The needs of radio station programmers were now irrelevant to musical artists.

This is C.T.C.S.          

This timely and heartwarming story explores the complexities of love, friendship, and family amidst the backdrop of a politically divided nation.

Debut author Emily Locker’s YA (young adult) novel, Running Mates, follows Annabelle and Gabe, two teenagers from opposite sides of the political spectrum who find themselves falling in love. As they navigate their budding romance, they must also grapple with the challenges of bridging the political divide that separates their families and their town.

"This book is a must-read for anyone who wants a dose of empathy in their summer," raves Parents Magazine, which included "Running Mates" in its 2024 Ultimate Summer Reading List for Teens and Tweens. Regis High School in New York City also recommends the book for summer reading, praising its portrayal of civil discourse and its relevance to today's polarized political climate.

Climate concerns are top of mind, especially with young adults. AmeriCorps, the federal agency for service and volunteering, administers a program for adults ages 18 to 26 to help them take action. AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) is a team-based national service program that engages young adults in 10 to 11-month hands-on service experiences to develop leadership skills and strengthen communities.

Forest Corps is a partnership between AmeriCorps NCCC and the United States Forest Service. The program is for young adults passionate about combating the climate crisis and protecting public lands. The first cohort of NCCC Forest Corps members will be sworn in to begin their service in mid-July. 

The Forest Corps program is the first major interagency partnership under President Biden’s American Climate Corps (ACC), a new initiative to train young people in high-demand skills for jobs in the clean energy economy.
