An environmental giant passed last week with the death of Pete McCloskey, a former Republican Congressman who co-authored the Endangered Species Act. He died at the age of 94.  A Marine who served in the Korean War, McCloskey was perhaps best known for the politically fraught move of challenging a sitting president in his own party - Richard Nixon - in the 1972 presidential primary because of the Vietnam War. He was the first member of Congress — from either party — to call for President Nixon's resignation during the Watergate scandal.  After he left public office in the 1980s, he continued to champion peace and environmental causes. About fifteen years ago, he became an early supporter of young people bringing climate cases into the courts. In 2011 he came on Climate One with other experts to discuss the first suits that young people filed alleging the US government has a responsibility to protect a healthy atmosphere for future generations. That effort laid the groundwork for the ongoing case Juliana vs. United States and another that was recently won in Montana. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Andrew, Tom, and Carl this time discuss the third week of Donald Trump's hush money trial and the Biden Administration's announcement of new asylum rules that will make it easier to reject applicants with criminal records. They also talk about President Biden's recent statements on US policy toward Israel and the Democratic Party's fear that this summer's Democratic Convention may be disrupted by protesters. Then, Tom Bevan talks with White House correspondent Phil Wegmann about the Trump campaign's internal polling numbers and the effect of the New York trial on public opinion of the former president. And finally Andrew Walworth talks to Carl Cannon about three political figures who passed away this week: Greg Schneiders, director of communications for President Jimmy Carter, Jack Quinn, legal counsel to President Bill Clinton, and Pete McCloskey, former Republican congressman from California.

Zionist controlled politicians are whipping up fury against President Joe Biden for declaring that he will halt the transfer of US weapons to Israel if the Jewish state goes forward with an anticipated invasion of Rafah. Before we begin our analysis and commentary of news, we must pay tribute to a great American patriot who passed away Wednesday night. Korean War hero, US Marine, former California Congressman, 1972 Republican Presidential candidate, co-founder of Earth Day, and a practicing attorney until his last day – Pete McCloskey. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

In this episode Tibet House US | Menla President & Co-Founder Robert A.F. Thurman sits down for a heart-centered talk about Buddhist perspectives on the environment, Earth Day and the importance of rallying the modern environmental movement's understanding of the too often overlooked crisis on the Tibetan plateau, the Hindu Kush, and the Himalayas, known as "the Third Pole," due to its containing the world's largest collection of glacial ice after the Arctic and Antarctic poles. The Third Pole crisis comes from the ice melting four to six times faster than other global overheating sites, due to widespread mismanagement and exploitation, threatening the water resources flowing down the Yellow, Yangtse, Mekong, Irawaddy, Brahmaputra, Ganges, and Indus rivers, among others, the lifelines of over a billion people during long dry seasons between annual monsoons Using personal anecdotes, statistics from Al Gore's Climate Reality Project, as well as insights from the historical Buddha's teachings and life story, Thurman weaves an inspiring call to action for intelligent beings of all faiths, backgrounds, political beliefs and stances. This podcast includes: an extended re-telling of the Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, introductions to the histories of Earth Day, The Climate Reality Project and Tibet House US | Menla, as well as simple ways anyone, anywhere can employ to shift their perspective to begin making a difference both in their own lives and in their communities. The episode concludes with an invitation to the Third Pole Hybrid Online & In-Person Conference, happening in the Fall of 2022 at Menla Retreat and Dewa Spa as well as a frank discussion on the importance of direct engagement and democratic participation in saving the planet for this and all future generations. About Earth Day: Every year on April 22, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. In the decades leading up to the first Earth Day, Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity. Until this point, mainstream America remained largely oblivious to environmental concerns and how a polluted environment threatens human health. However, the stage was set for change with the publication of Rachel Carson's New York Times bestseller Silent Spring in 1962. The book represented a watershed moment, selling more than 500,000 copies in 24 countries as it raised public awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and the inextricable links between pollution and public health. Senator Gaylord Nelson, the junior senator from Wisconsin, had long been concerned about the deteriorating environment in the United States. Then in January 1969, he and many others witnessed the ravages of a massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. Inspired by the student anti-war movement, Senator Nelson wanted to infuse the energy of student anti-war protests with an emerging public consciousness about air and water pollution. Senator Nelson announced the idea for a teach-in on college campuses to the national media, and persuaded Pete McCloskey, a conservation-minded Republican Congressman, to serve as his co-chair. They recruited Denis Hayes, a young activist, to organize the campus teach-ins and they chose April 22, a weekday falling between Spring Break and Final Exams, to maximize the greatest student participation.

Good morning, it's Thursday, April 22nd and this is The Herald Review's podcast, the Daily Chirp. We're excited to bring you a closer look at top stories, events in the community, local history, sports, and more.    Today - Undocumented migrants were recently discovered hiding in Benson High School parking lot. Parents, law enforcement, and Benson Mayor Joe Konrad are speaking up.   Before we begin, some local history.   April 22nd began just like every other day in 1970, except that it wasn't like every other day. It was Earth Day! And it marked the beginning of the modern environmental movement.   Earth day was the end result of a yearlong idea by a junior Democratic Senator from Wisconsin, Gaylord Nelson. Nelson's idea was to infuse the energy of student anti-war protests with an emerging public consciousness about air and water pollution.    He enlisted the help of a conservation minded Republican Congressman, Pete McCloskey as co-chair and together they recruited activist Denis Hayes to organize college campus teach-ins about the environment.    But why April 22nd? It was perfect since it fell between Spring Break and Final Exams. They were hoping to maximize the greatest number of student participation.   The special day inspired about 10% of the population at that time, so 20 million Americans, to take to the streets, parks and auditoriums to demonstrate against all of what 150 years of industrial development progress had brought to the impact of health.   So today, don't forget to check out the Sierra Vista farmers market to join them for a celebration.   Today's history is brought to you by Benson Hospital. The team at Benson Hospital is always working towards building a healthier community. For example, when the Benson Food Pantry needed a new home, they worked with them to find one, and their staff even helped them apply for grants to support the mission. You can learn more about everything they're doing for our community by following them on Facebook at facebook.com/bensonhospital.   Also, The Daily Chirp podcast is giving away 5 Amazon Echo Dots - one every month now through July.

It involved undocumented immigrants who were hiding under cars in the Benson High School parking lot.    Police Chief Paul Moncada said that officers found a vehicle with a U.S. citizen and a passenger, along with three undocumented immigrants. They were detained. the chief said. Three other undocumented aliens immigrants north from the school.   That's when Benson Police officers and Cochise County Sheriff's Office deputies searched for the three who fled on foot. But according to Moncada they couldn't find them.   Border Patrol was contacted and said they'd be there in an hour.   But after the hour passed, they still weren't there. So they were contacted again and gave yet another one-hour ETA.   So Benson PD decided to reach out to a Border Patrol agent who was in the area instead. And that agent contacted a supervisor. Ultimately they were told that Border Patrol wouldn't respond at all. At that point, all three detained subjects were released.   It all started when a high school student discovered undocumented migrants hiding under his car. The student's parent sent out a warning on social media.   It said  -- quote “kids, after games, be safe. Watch your surroundings at all times. Illegals are everywhere now. The baseball team is aware of this. Pass the word to softball, track and tennis. Sadly, this is just the beginning of illegals in parking lots, neighborhoods, etc..”   Benson School District Superintendent Micah Mortensen also sent a letter home to parents, describing the incident.   The letter stated that as part of the school's safety protocols, coaches will remain with students until every student has safely departed campus.   Mortensen went on to ask that parents encourage their children to report all incidents or situations that make them uncomfortable, saying that we must all be vigilant in order to keep our children safe.   Benson Mayor Joe Konrad weighed in on the situation as well. He expressed concerns about what he described as “an escalating UDA problem” and its impact on border communities.   Konrad noted that it seems like Border Patrol's hands are tied, and citizens are going to have to be vigilant and take extra precautions to stay safe. He said that people need to call the police when they see something that seems out of place.   Konrad also said police officers aren't getting the support they need from federal officials. Especially once they determine they have detained migrants who are in the country illegally.   Police officers are sworn to enforce Arizona law, but have no jurisdiction in immigration matters.    To Konrad, this immigration issue is a huge problem, and it's only going to get worse if the border crisis continues. It's very disheartening.   You can learn more on this story by visiting us at myheraldreview.com.   - Thanks for listening, before we continue, a quick message from our sponsors, Prestige Family Living.    Next, we'd like to highlight Mike Frosco, Bisbee High School's retiring athletics director.    Today's episode is brought to you by ApexNetwork Physical Therapy. ApexNetwork Physical Therapy is the leading choice for individualized physical therapy in a warm and comfortable environment. They offer a wide range of services like Manual Therapy, Industrial Rehab, Dry Needling, Golf Rehab and more. To learn more, go to ApexNetworkPT.com.   What do you give a man who is retiring after 50 years of service to Bisbee High School athletics?   Well, the Bisbee High School Alumni Association has a great idea to honor retiring athletics director Mike Frosco — a plaque at Warren Ballpark dedicating the field to him.   It was alumnus Snoody Borowiec that presented the idea to the board of the Bisbee Unified School District.   And proud Pumas alumnus Don Bays said he met Frosco back in 1958 when the coach allowed newcomers to try out. Frosco was one of them.   Bays says that he was a senior when he met Frosco on the first day of practice. He described him as a frail, scrawny looking kid with a permanent, built-in smile. Bays said that he was very quickly proven wrong about Frosco's athletic ability. He was an outstanding player every year.    Bays noted that he doesn't think there's anyone more deserving to have his name attached to the field than Mike. Coach Frosco is Mr. Baseball.   After college Frosco returned to BHS as an educator and a coach. As a coach he was inducted into the Arizona Hall of Fame. He coached three state championship teams, had 23 state tournament appearances, was awarded 11 Coach of the Year titles and had 555 career team wins.   Then when he gave up coaching, he continued to be involved with the kids in the entire school district as director of athletics.   Frosco also has been involved in getting funds to improve Warren Ballpark.   Ultimately, the school board's decision to honor Coach Frosco would be a tribute to a man who touched many young men's lives.   The final decision to follow the recommendation of the alumni to dedicate the field to Frosco will be made at the board meeting on May 11th.   Next up the Community Food Pantry of Benson has added something new to its list of services. brought to you by our sponsors, Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative.   [New sponsor audio message]   The Community Food Pantry of Benson has added something new to its list of services.   As part of its monthly cooking class, they now have community resource presenters. The presenters will inform residents about different services they might need.   The cooking class is the third Friday of the month, and last Friday they had two representatives from SEAGO - SouthEastern Arizona Governments Organization - who talked about how to access programs for caregivers and seniors.    Because of COVID, Friday's presentation was their first in-person outreach session in over a year.   This was a very welcome change. Throughout the pandemic outreach has been hard for the organization. Some seniors and caregivers were faced with computer literacy barriers and struggled with devices and the internet.   But they overcame the challenges and built a program called Trualta that they're rolling out soon.   It's a skill-based online learning portal designed for families and caregivers. It'll include articles, videos and professional-level training.   Ultimately SEAGO's goal is to support seniors and people with disabilities so they can maintain their independence safely at home.   Finally, today we're remembering the life of    John Michael Donnelly. He was born in San Diego, California, the youngest of 5 children. He was a “surprise” child - 19 years younger than his older brother, Donald. He grew up in San Diego and graduated from St. Augustine High School. John made the decision to enter the Carmelites and conducted his initial studies in the San Francisco Bay area. Later, he studied in Ireland and in Rome for the priesthood, where he earned a master's degree in Theology. He took the Sacrament of Holy Orders in 1967 in Rome, and took the name Kevin, which is the name many people knew him by as an adult.   In the early 1970's, Reverend Donnelly met Susan Mullaney and made the decision to leave the priesthood to marry, in the sincere belief that priests ought to be allowed to marry and in the hope that it wouldn't be long before that change occurred. Susan brought three children into the marriage, Lisa, Laurie and Bruce. And together they had a son named Kevin. When Susan's health began to fail, they made the decision to move from northern California, where they met, to southeastern Arizona, where Susan lived as a child. They were married for 43 years.   In 1987, John was accepted into the Episcopal Church as a priest. After several years in pastoral ministry at St. Alban's in Tucson, and the Church of the Transfiguration in Apache Junction, John served as a chaplain for the Arizona State Prison at Douglas, ministering to an inmate population of over 2,000 individuals for 20 years.    He loved to sing, and played the piano, guitar and cornet. He was well known for his gentleness, being very approachable and humble, with a wry sense of humor. John spoke French, Italian, Spanish, Latin and was conversant in Irish Gaelic.   After his cherished wife, Susan, passed in 2016, John reconciled with the Catholic Church. The day before his death, two Carmelite friars visited him, and he renewed his vows as a Carmelite.    His son Kevin commented that his dad was glowing with happiness at renewing his vows. By the next morning, Divine Mercy Sunday, John was on his way to sing with the angels.   Thanks for tuning in to the Herald Review podcast today, join us again on Friday!

They've known each other for 40-years.  Stone + Trump.  Trump + Stone.  Boys from the 'hood'.  Just 2 wiseguys from Brooklyn Heights/Queens. Stone was a stone-cold killer of political dirty tricks.  In the 1972 GOP presidential campaign Stone took $125 of cash into Republican Congressman Pete McCloskey's campaign headquarters in Manchester, New Hampshire and stated that he was making said donation in the name of the Young Democratic Socialists of America .  McCloskey was running against the sitting president - Richard Nixon.  The next day he arranged for the paper of record - the Manchester Leader to report that a republican presidential candidate - Pete McCloskey - had accepted a cash donation from a socialist group.  Bye-bye McCloskey. Stone went on in later years to torpedo Democratic Attorney General of New York, Eliot Spitzer's presidential ambitions.  Stone used inside sources inside the DA's office to somehow bypass secrecy and unearth the name & of Elliot Spitzer as a suspected regular paying client of a high-priced call girl - in which Spitzer was later implicated and thus ending his political career.  In addition, Stone was involved in the sudden downfall of Democratic Senator Al Franklin wherein a tape of Franklin supposedly getting frisky with a fellow female performer while on stage during a USO tour for the troops abroad.  Franklin was forced to resign from the U.S. Senate. Stone has been available for Trump over the decades for favors and political advice and for a while Stone was a lobbyist for Trump's 3 casinos in Atlantic City.  Trump subsequently fired him but Stone reconnected with Trump in the Spring of 2015 to help on Trump's presidential campaign launch.
