Why did so many members of the Court oppose the 14th Amendment? Then, the latest supreme court decisions have enabled the president to strip humanitarian protections from immigrants who came from war torn countries and other danger zones, even if they are in the country legally. What do this mean for human rights in America?]]> https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260705_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260705_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 Sun, 05 Jul 2026 12:01:00 -0700 www.scholarscircle.org]]> 3480 no Public Affairs - Local <![CDATA[Sunday, June 28, 2026 - If its June, its time for Supreme Court decisions. On today’s show we will explore recent rulings on two large topics. The first is the extent of the second amendment. That’s the gun rights Amendment and the right to bear arms. Then we will turn to the broad question, is the Constitution colorblind? What role does and should race play in Supreme Court decisions?]]> https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260628_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260628_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 Sun, 28 Jun 2026 12:01:00 -0700 www.scholarscircle.org]]> 3480 no Public Affairs - Local <![CDATA[Sunday, June 21, 2026 - In the global obsession with soccer and the World Cup, how much goodwill goes to the host country? And has the United State's visa controversies and FIFA's corruption undermined this goodwill? ]]> https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260621_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260621_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 Sun, 21 Jun 2026 12:01:00 -0700 www.scholarscircle.org]]> 3480 no Public Affairs - Local <![CDATA[Sunday, June 14, 2026 - The War between Israel and the US on one side and Iran and Lebanon on the other is in its fourth month. Despite claims from the White House that a deal is imminent, the war and the destruction have continued. Indeed the concept of a cease fire is undermined with every attack. The global economy is struggling with the increased energy costs due to the closing of the Straits of Hormuz. And people continue to die. So on today’s show we update the news on the war, explore any potential pathways to end the war and examine the impact of the war particularly on both Iran and Lebanon.]]> https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260614_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260614_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 Sun, 14 Jun 2026 12:01:00 -0700 www.scholarscircle.org]]> 3480 no Public Affairs - Local <![CDATA[Sunday, June 7, 2026 - Africa once again has an Ebola outbreak. At this point, it is centered in the so-called Greak Lakes region, with the largest number of cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Uganda has also seen several cases. Sadly this is not new news. But it takes place in the context of a weakened World Health Organization, with the US withdrawal, and a stark memory of the Covid outbreaks. It also is exacerbated by the shuttering of USAID and severe cuts in health funding from the Trump Administration. The United States is insisting that any American that tests positive for the virus would be treated outside of the country, provoking protests in East Africa such as in Kenya. So is the Ebola outbreak a potential pandemic? What has been the most effective means to treat these kinds of outbreaks. And how does it influence the current intense discourses about health care delivery and wellness in the United States. ]]> https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260607_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 https://archive.kpfk.org/mp3/2kpfk_260607_120100scholacirclepodast.mp3 Sun, 07 Jun 2026 12:01:00 -0700 www.scholarscircle.org]]> 3480 no Public Affairs - Local
