The Air and Space Expo at the Las Cruces International Airport was one of the most entertaining shows I’ve seen in years.
I hadn’t been to an air show since I was a kid, and was surprised to feel the exact same thrill now as I had then watching an airplane nosedive toward the ground, only to pull up at the last second and gracefully loop back into the sky. Today's guest Charlton Taylor (Atheist), Jack Turney (Catholic), and Randy Harris (Agnostic) explore the rising influence of Christian Nationalism, White Christian Nationalism, Project 2025, and The Seven Mountains Mandate. We touch on the history, the goals, and the methods employed by these religion driven groups. We evaluate the explicitly stated intentions of these groups and their plan to sway government leaders and voters away from constitutional democracy as we know it, and towards full scale theocracy.
DELVING IN: Child of Holocaust Survivors, Elizabeth Rosner, on the Art and Science of Listening10/27/2024
Stuart Kelter interviews Elizabeth Rosner, the author of three novels, a poetry collection, and two books of nonfiction, all of which have won literary prizes. Her debut novel, The Speed of Light, published in 2001, was translated into nine languages and won literary prizes in the US and Europe. Blue Nude, her second novel, published in 2006, was selected as one of the best books of the year by the San Francisco Chronicle. Her third novel, Electric City published in 2014, was named among the best books of the year by NPR. Her poetry collection, Gravity, also published in 2014, plumbs the deep complexities of trauma inherited from her Holocaust survivor parents. Survivor Café: the Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory, was published in 2017 and was a finalist for a National Jewish Book Award and was featured on NPR and in The New York Times. Rosner’s new work of nonfiction, Third Ear: Reflections on the Art and Science of Listening, is the subject of today’s interview.

It’s hard to think of anything locally that has been more needed and less productive since its founding than the Crisis Triage Center.
In 2012, then-County Manager Brian Haines recognized a serious problem. Law enforcement officers were spending too much time transporting and overseeing criminal suspects in need of a mental health evaluation and, perhaps, involuntary treatment. A trip to the state’s only mental health hospital in Las Vegas would mean 10 hours on the road. Greg’s guest on Tuesday was Carlos Rosales-Silva who currently has major murals on display at the University Art Museum at NMSU. Topics for discussion will include Carlos’s path from El Paso to New York and Los Angeles, what other things he is doing while at NMSU, and how he is using his art as commentary on current issues. (Café con Leche is sponsored by Penny Peace and George Ivolin of Mad Hatter Gallery.)

Stuart Kelter interviews David Noll, the former associate dean for faculty research and a professor of law at Rutgers University Law School. His scholarly work encompasses a broad set of interlocking aspects of the law, including complex litigation, governmental legislation, regulation, and administration, and the framework of constitutional law in which all of these are grounded. He has written both for major scholarly journals, as well as for general audiences in the New York Times, Politico, Slate, among other publications. He is the co-author, with UCLA law professor, Jon Michaels, of the recently published Vigilante Nation: How State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Our Democracy, which is the subject of today’s interview.
