4:20 pm Each month, we feature eminent immigration attorney George Willy to discuss issues that may affect many of our listeners and each time we have to deal with another new and insidious executive order from President Trumpwhich further solidifies his desire to limit entrance by foreign nationals into this country, a sort of ethnic cleansing by the Christian White Right wing. George will deal with the latest of the bizarre orders-du-jour and discuss the new regulations on visas.

4:50 pm Two weeks ago, the world looked on in horror as a falling glacier unleashed a torrent of lake water to cascade through a Himalayan valley and ultimately kill thousands of people. Many speculate that this is the result of a warming climate which caused the glacier to melt, just as others aredoing all over the world. According to a recent UN Climate report, the world will  cross the critical 1.5°C global warmingthreshold in the coming years, increasing the danger of irreversible tipping points like ice sheet destabilization, Amazon rainforest degradation, and disruption of ocean currents. We turn to Dr Ganesh Thakur, a DistinguishedProfessor of Petroleum, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at the University of Houston and an expert on climate change to share his thoughts ofthe future of weather.

5:20 pm Yesterday, the nation remembered the 25thanniversary of 911, even as the US celebrates 250 years of Independence while India has celebrated its 80th Independence Day.

So, we turned to our favorite psychic, Miss Renu, from Bangalore to explain to us the lure ofthe number 5 in Eastern society, in numerology and how it is experienced in the West. We turn to her again today to guide us about the power of numbers.

Here’s our exclusive interview of Dr Sanjeev Kumar on Sat, September 5, 2026 on Indo American News Radio (www.IndoAmerican-news.com), a production of Indo American News.

In an apparent case of overzealous bureaucraticoverreach, since April 2024, the Federal Department of Justice has been pursuing allegations of Medicaid fraud against a respected gynecologic oncologist, Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, and his 12-year medical practice in Memphis. On a note from Medicaid, FBI Agents raided his office to investigate why he performed 9 times more procedures than competitive groups and fell in the statistical outlier area, even as Medicaid itself praised his work. In September 2024, the Tennessee Medical Board dismissed all charges against him. Undeterred, the DOJ pressed on and filed charges of sexual assault, rape and human trafficking against him. Listen to this gripping story as Dr. Kumar relates what has happened and how he is fighting a 20-year jail term for these ridiculous charges.

He started Volgin Naturetech to make nutritionally dense, healthy food accessible to everyone and restore microbiome health at scale.

5:20 pm The collapse of a mountain top glacier holding back a lake at the Tibetan border with Nepal has led to catastrophicdevastation in the valley below, as the torment of water cascaded through the structures and villages below, wiping out everything in its path. Over 600 people are estimated to have been killed and over 3,000 are missing, including 500foreigners, many of whom were Indians – including 31 from America - doing the pilgrimage to Mount Kailash. The Nepalese community in Houston met yesterday to see what they could do to help with rescue and rendering aid.

4:50 pm The Baby Boomer generation – those born between 1946 and 1964 – are fast becoming the Geriatric generation who will need more medical care. Though medical science is making rapid advances in treatments of many diseases, many people are having to come to grips on how to offer good care and assistance at affordable prices and many are left ill-prepared financially. Our monthly guest Lalit Jallan of Insurance Financial Services Group will guide us through the options for long-term care.

5:20 pm Two months ago we had oncologist Dr. Sanjay Mehta who specializes in treating prostate cancer on the show to explain how the screening process works and different treatment regimens. Two weeks ago, former President Joe Biden revealed that his prostate cancer was at stage 4 andhad metastasized to his bones. This made it all too imperative for older men to get regular screenings in order to catch any cancer cells early. There are over 3.5 million prostate cancer survivors living in the US and with roughly 333,830 new casesdiagnosed. While it is the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men, it is highly treatable with the 5-year relative survival rate approaching 98%. We asked Dr. Sanjay Mehta - who also treats breast, colon and lung cancers – to come back and explain how to handle this disease.
