  • What Future for Trump Now (American Issues Take Two)

    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.

  • No Need for Building Permits on Repairs (Talking Tax)

    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.

  • 'Fixer Upper' by Jenny Schuetz (World of Books)

    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?

  • Trump No Longer Kingmaker, MAGA GOP Denied (American Issues Take One)

    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.
