On this week's Access Hour, we bring you highlights from the second hour of our live broadcast from the No Kings Louisville protest on the Belvedere on Saturday, October 18, 2025. Forward Radio was proud to be the only media providing live wall-to-wall coverage on the ground at the No Kings Louisville rally from 2-5pm on The Belvedere (https://nokings.org). On this day, we saw over 2600 protests across the country in all 50 states and in 18 other countries! Back in In June, millions of everyday Americans from every walk of life peacefully took to the streets and declared with one voice: No Kings. The world saw the power of the people, and President Trump's attempt at a coronation collapsed under the strength of a movement rising against his abuses of power. Now, he's doubling down — sending militarized agents into our communities, silencing voters, and handing billionaires giveaways while families struggle. This isn't just politics. It's democracy versus dictatorship. And together, we're choosing democracy. Today millions of Americans are rising again to show the world: America has no kings, and the power belongs to the people. In America, we don't put up with would-be kings. Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it's the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together. The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don't have kings, and we won't back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us. A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events. In addition to No Kings Louisville at the Belvedere, there were local protests at: • NO KINGS SOUTHERN INDIANA, 2:30-5pm, Warder Park, 109 E Court Ave, Jeffersonville, IN • NO KINGS Indivisible Crescent Hill, 3-4pm, 3751 Frankfort Ave, Saint Matthews, KY • No Kings II sing-out!, 12-2pm, Locals Food Hub & Pizza Pub on East Broadway What's Next After No Kings?

On this week's show, we bring you a community conversation inspired by the book "When the Bombs Stopped: The Legacy of War in Cambodia." On September 25, 2025, the University of Louisville's Center for Asian Democracy hosted this guest lecture by Dr. Erin Lin from the Department of Political Science at the Ohio State University. Undetonated bombs from the Cambodian campaign of the American War in Vietnam, which ended more than fifty years ago, still affect Cambodian farmers and their land. Dr. Lin's research spotlights the contemporary agricultural implications of unexploded ordinance. Her research topics include legacies of war, economic development, agriculture, and genocide. She also has a keen interest in the relationship between soil conditions and unexploded bombs, which she is currently researching in Cambodia.

On this week's Truth to Power, we tackle the issue of higher education's role in reintegrating the formerly incarcerated into society. On Monday, Sept. 29th, at the University of Louisville's Ekstrom Library, the UofL Liberal Studies program presented this event on "Reimagining Public Safety: Transforming Public Universities into Pathways of Reintegration and Repair" with philosopher and higher education leader Dr. Brady Heiner, the Founder and former Executive Director (2016-2022) of Project Rebound at Cal State Fullerton (https://www.fullerton.edu/rebound/). Dr. Heiner was also the Founding Executive Director and Executive Committee Chair of the CSU Project Rebound Consortium (2019-2023), which provided leadership and oversight for the statewide expansion of Project Rebound programs across eighteen CSU campuses. In this public lecture, Dr. Heiner argued that public universities must be reimagined as civic infrastructures of care, accountability, and belonging. Drawing on his experience building and scaling programs that support thousands of formerly incarcerated students across 18 campuses in the California State University system, Heiner outlines how universities can repair social dislocation, reduce incarceration, and rebuild communities harmed by punitive and extractive systems.

On this week's program, we bring you a community conversation about the environmental impacts of Kentucky's aluminum industry brought to you by the Kentucky Chapter of the Sierra Club (https://sierraclub.org/kentucky). Because aluminum is lightweight, durable, and highly recyclable, it's a key ingredient in solar panels and wind turbines, more efficient cars and planes, and construction and packaging materials. Demand for the metal is set to skyrocket, bolstering the hopes of companies and policymakers for a U.S. industrial turnaround. As aluminum gains the spotlight, the negative impacts of its production are also becoming more apparent. Sierra Club Kentucky has been collaborating with the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP), a national organization that ensures the enforcement of laws protecting clean air and water (https://www.environmentalintegrity.org). As the demand for aluminum grows — in particular for use in clean energy and transportation — EIP and other environmental groups are taking action so that aluminum producing companies will reduce the harm they cause to communities and the environment. Two of the seven U.S. aluminum smelters are in Kentucky: Century Sebree in Henderson County and Century Hawesville in Hancock County. Both facilities have violated air and water standards many times. In 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency determined that Sebree smelter was largely to blame for excessive levels of the area's releases of sulfur dioxide, a very harmful pollutant. Unfortunately, the KY Department of Environmental Protection has missed a required deadline to submit a plan to solve this problem, and EPA has missed a deadline to address the state's failure. EIP is interested in sharing information with Western Kentucky residents and learning about any concerns you may have with air and water quality in the area and the impacts of aluminum production. EIP and Sierra Club held this online information meeting on January 17, 2024 featuring speakers Nadia Steinzor and Sunny Lee of the Environmental Integrity Project.

Do any of us really care about truth when it comes to politics? Should we? In a world of big lies, denialism, and conspiracy theories, democracies are experiencing two interlocked crises: a loss of confidence in democracy itself and the growing sense among many that politics is only about power—not truth. In his new book, Michael Patrick Lynch argues that truth not only can—but must—matter in politics. He shows why truth is an essential democratic value—a value we need to sustain our democratic way of life—and how it can be strengthened. Despite evidence that people are rarely motivated by truth when it comes to politics, Lynch argues that this isn't inevitable. Contrary to the belief of many, political beliefs can be true or false. But if democracy is to continue to be a space of reason and not just an arena of power, we must build a better infrastructure of knowledge, including stronger schools and media, and renew our commitment to science and history. Michael Patrick Lynch is Provost Professor of the Humanities and Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Connecticut. Lynch is the author or editor of ten books, including Know-it-All Society, The Internet of Us, Truth as One and Many, and the New York TimesSunday Book Review Editor's pick, True to Life. He has spoken at TED and SXSW. In 2019 he was awarded The George Orwell Award, which recognizes writers who have made outstanding contributions to the critical analysis of public discourse. His new book is On Truth in Politics: Why Democracy Demands It.

If you came expecting a neat keynote, you were in for something else entirely.What he gave us instead in fourteen minutes was part sermon, part therapy, and part existential gut check for anyone shaping the future.Here's what stuck:“This isn't a rehearsal.”Fred opened with vulnerability: standing in front of his peers, in a room that lives and breathes venture, ready to say the uncomfortable things.He asked us to zoom out—to consider the power we hold as people who don't just fund companies but shape the narratives that shape the future.“We sit in the cockpit alongside the founders. That's where creation happens now. That's our canvas.”But with that power comes disorientation. Because the world we're building into? It's fragmented. Conflicted. Loaded with moral confusion.On Truth, Power, and the Collapse of Shared NarrativesFred pulled no punches.“Historically, we had shared systems for truth. Religion. Philosophy. Math. But now? Everything's been deconstructed. Lived experience replaced truth. Everything's power.”Welcome to the legacy of critical theory. Foucault, Derrida—ideas that once helped explain systems of oppression have now left us with... nothing to agree on.“We're left in a nihilistic landscape. Everything is a power struggle. There's no shared center.”And it's not just academic. It unfolds in cycles of outrage, weaponized identities, and moral ambiguity. Tech doesn't escape this, it amplifies it.The Algorithm Doesn't Care About Truth“We thought more information meant more truth. It doesn't.”Truth, Fred reminded us, is costly. Outrage is cheap. And platforms optimize for what's fast, not what's real.“A four-second tweet can destroy someone's life. Investigative journalism takes months.”Now, enter AI. Beautiful, powerful—and deeply destabilizing.“We're staring at it like it's the sun or a cobra. We don't know what it is yet. But it's changing the rules faster than we can track.”The Danger of Playing Games We Don't Know We're InA warning:You may think you're being righteous. You may think you're being helpful.“But maybe you're playing a social game. Maybe you're being used. And maybe you don't even know it.”In a world where narratives shift daily, we often end up reinforcing the very dynamics we oppose.“You want to call out a Nazi salute online? Be careful. You might just normalize the thing you hate.”So Where Does That Leave Us?In a word: Stewardship.Fred closed with a challenge:“This is the most powerful tool mankind has ever created. What the fuck are we doing with it?”We're not just funding innovation. We're authoring meaning. In an anxious world, that's a profound responsibility.One Last Question (That Stuck With Us All)“What is the quality of the conversation we're having?”With ourselves. With each other. With our founders. With the world.Because if we don't ask that, the rest doesn't matter.
