  • Bluff and Blunder in Ukraine (Global Connections)

    But will it Turn into War.  The host for this show is Jay Fidell.  The guest is Carl Baker.  


    Carl Baker, senior advisor of Pacific Forum, updates us on the events in around and about Ukraine, and which factors  will determine what happens.  Is Putin serious or just playing games.  Is the United States reacting too much.  Is the EU reacting too little.  What is the government of Ukraine saying and how are the people really feeling.  This will all come to a head soon, so we need to follow it carefully, since one way or the other it will affect our standing in Europe and in the world and our politics at home.

  • State of the 2022 GOP and Democrat Party (What Now America)

    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.

    Waikiki’s Most Recent Rental Highrise.  The hosts for this show are Martin Despang and DeSoto Brown.  


    The Lilia claims to be the first new residential high rise in 20 years. The show reviews in under construction close to completion how it lives up to its proclaimed goal:  “Līlia Waikīkī was named to honor the life and legacy of Queen Emma and her favorite flower, the lily (līlia). Queen Emma’s passion for wellness, love of nature, and her appreciation for traditional Hawaiian crafts was an inspiration and a desire to design a space for residents to plant their roots in a community that values open space and a healthy lifestyle.”
