Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones invited MINNESOTA Congress-Lady Ilhan Omar to Tennessee's 5th district to hold a townhall, because the 5th district's actual representative Andy Ogles wouldn't. However, Veterans for Peace Radio was there and will share some of the discussion of issues that Andy is not willing to discuss. It was raucous! Then the Trump administration has sanctioned UN Special Rapporteur. We will share clips of her continuing revelations of the US complicity with genocide with its support of Israel despite these sanctions.

Harvey and Jim share clips from important people on the national and international scene that you will never hear on the mainstream media. We start with an update and audio from the protests that ended the VFP-40 day fast to demand an end to genocide. We hear from co-organizer Phil Tottenham and Joy Metzger. We then turn to voices who are educating us on the issues of the day and thus pleading with us to take action. They also provide an opportunity to dream of better days. The voices include Clare Daly, Francesca Albanese, Zehra Imam, and Yanis Varoufakis.

After Tom Grose of Veterans for Peace updates on the ICE attacks in the Nashville area, John Steinbach of Veterans for Peace and Co-Founder of the Hiroshima Nagasaki Peace Committee of the National Capital Area joins us to discuss Iran's nuclear program and takes a deep dive into the history of Israel's nuclear program. Tom shares heartbreaking stories of intimidation and what might be a good way to address it. John talks about the Israeli nuclear weapons program not to deter but to threaten their neighbors and the US. John also talks about what we need to do to address this danger.

Diane Sare joins us and brings an interesting take on how we are being manipulated into war and domestic chaos by the Brits and the bankers. As the president of the Larouche organization, she also discusses why Lyndon Larouche is not a scary figure in American history. Then we turn to Charleston and the press conference from Everyday People Fast.

First, we get quick updates on Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his imprisonment and hearing in Nashville and the protests in front of the Federal Courthouse from Craig Bardo of Veterans for Peace and Pan Walker of United Volunteers of Tennessee. Then we turn to KJ Noh and his discussion on the war the US has always wanted. Yes, if you think this is Bibi's war, think again. Also, he shows how this aggression against Iran is actually part of the neocon plan for war with China to maintain US hegemony. So, stand by this one is rough.

Today we have three guests: Reverend Charles Heyward, Reverend Adam Shoemaker, and activist organizer Treva Williams. They will be talking about Everyday People (everydaypeoplefast.com), the organization they have recently launched to identify and challenge white supremacy in Charleston, S.C., and hopefully across the country. They are advocating that we all stop spending money on Fridays to bring attention to the impact of white supremacy, not only on the marginalized but on the whole country. They link white supremacy to Christian Nationalism and Fascism. They link it to the genocide in Gaza, Immigration, LGBT, especially trans, and even Christianity.

Poet, Scholar, Teacher, Author, Activist, Vietnam (Purple Heart) Veteran joins us to share several poems and stories from his own collection and from a Gazan Poet. He also shares the story of a young woman he wrote about in his article for Peace and Planet News called "A Part of You Will Die with Us." He also reflects on Memorial Day, especially in light

Mike Ferner, past Executive Director of Veterans for Peace, joins the show as co-organizer of a 40-day fast to call our attention to the continual and escalating (if that is possible) atrocities perpetrated by Israel with our complicity in Gaza. After hearing clips from Gabor Mate and Ray McGovern on why we need to do more, Mike describes how VFP, allied groups, and almost 700 people registered for the fast are doing more. Despite health challenges and aging challenges, Mike is out there in front of the UN, in front of the US Mission to the UN, with co-organizer Phil Tottenham and other members and allies making a difference. What are you going to do to stop genocide?

Noura Erakat calls out the United States for its complicity in Gaza, and then pleads with the international community at the UN General Assembly to realize that while the US is an empire, the US is not the world. Gideon Levy joins Glenn Diesen to share a gloomy assessment of the Middle East and asks what happens after the killing in Gaza stops, there is no plan. Kyle Kulinski, in a very short clip calls out the democrats and then equates the US and Israel with Nazi Germany. We finish with Maura O'Connell bringing Out the Guns of Love. Good time to lock and load those guns.
