SDG 14 Life Below Water in our World. The host for this show is Joshua Cooper. The guest is Aharon Miroz.
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.

Law and Order Catching up to Trump. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jeff Portnoy and Stephanie Dalton.
The popular saying, 'the wheels of justice turn slowly,' applies here and now with the long-awaited indictment of the former 45th president. The 34 count case of business document fraud was unveiled in a Manhattan District Court this week. Trump's presence was required. Although he was not handcuffed, he was formally arrested and finger printed. This historical moment in presidential history has generated emotions from both sides of the political spectrum. The panel discusses the impact of a POTUS being indicated, and where we go from here.

Where Hawai'i Fits in National Trends. The host for this show is Tom Yamachika. The guest is Paul Jones.
Paul Jones is a reporter from Tax Analysts whose beat includes state developments in Hawai'i. He joins us to talk about his role in getting relevant news to the public, and his focus areas. Some of the issues being tracked include: (1) Wealth tax, proposed simultaneously in seven states including Hawai'i; and (2) Passthru workaround, which already has been adopted in several states to alleviate the federal $10,000 cap on deducting state tax, when the tax is from a partnership or S corporation.
