Amargosa River - going nuclear
Pupfish. Little blue creatures endemic to pools upwelling amid the rock strata at Ash Meadows. Here on Creative FRONTLINE, we’ve done several shows on water in the West. Only not the same water from your tap exactly, but the waters in springs, aquifers, and rivers, and now, Death Valley and its mysterious partially underground Amargosa River.
Water moves good things and bad in the desert, including radioactive materials from nuclear testing years ago. We’re on with Amargosa Conservancy’s Mason Voehl (sounds like vale), discussing the good, the bad, and the ugly. Pupfish are good. Nuclear waste not so much.

Does journalism = terrorism?
In the first half of this week's program, Mickey's guests (Seth Stern and Andy Lee Roth) explain legislation that would authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to unilaterally revoke the tax-exempt status of non-profit organizations, including media, that the Secretary deems to be 'providing support to terrorism.' The Treasury would not bear the burden of proof. HR6408 has already passed the House, and the parallel measure S4136 is pending in the Senate. Mickey's guests warn that if enacted, the measures are likely to be used to undermine media outlets that espouse views contrary to administration policies, especially on Palestine.
Later in the program, media scholar Nolan Higdon joins Mickey for a discussion of recent press news, including biased corporate-media coverage of campus Gaza protests, and new federal efforts to ban the Chinese-owned social-media platform TikTok from the U.S.

Mother of All Talk Shows (MOATS) with George Galloway
We are trying out one of the most popular podcasts in the world, George Galloway's Mother of All Talk Shows, here as part of Somethings Happening, to see what listeners think of this dynamic and challenging entry into public affairs discourse. George recently interviewed Chris Hedges over Hedges latest ban from a platform. Galloway was also elected as a Member of Parliament in a campaign critical of all the major parties in the UK.
Let us know what you think - email comments@KPFK.org with your opinion. We'll be airing this at 4 AM twice a week for a while to gauge listener interest and reactions. As with the Thom Hartmann Program, this is aired as a delayed broadcast from the live podcast, so you cannot call in at this time.
You could catch it live on his other platforms and call in Sundays at 12 noon Pacific time. Galloway is conducting an online poll on multiple platforms as to who is the greatest threat to world peace, Biden, Putin, or Netanyahu. Check it out to cast your vote.
