The last place you want to be when the electricity gives out is the desert--especially in summer. Listen in as I chat with Dante Lupinetti about his book, Desert's Edge and how it tackles a trek across the desert and up into the mountains... with a couple hundred people in tow! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  Growing up in the area that this book takes place in, I can't WAIT to read it. EEEP!  It's sitting right there on the shelf, taunting me. Must. Finish. My. Own. Book. Desert's Edge by Dante Lupinetti The grid is down. Phoenix has 72 hours. And the only way out is through 200 miles of desert. Former Army Ranger Jack Cross hasn't spoken to his father in three years. Hasn't been inside a church. Hasn't let himself believe in much of anything since nineteen firefighters trusted him and didn't come home. But his father has been broadcasting on emergency radio every night since the EMP hit. Come north. There's room. Come anyway. Jack has 210 terrified strangers, one missionary doctor running from her own ghosts, and a wooden cross he can't bring himself to throw away. The desert doesn't care about any of that. Neither does the clock. When an electromagnetic pulse kills every electronic device in Phoenix during a 118-degree heat wave, Jack faces an impossible choice — stay in a city of 1.7 million people as the infrastructure collapses, or lead more than two hundred terrified strangers two hundred miles north through the Sonoran Desert to Camp Kadesh — his father's off-grid Christian retreat in the Prescott mountains. The father he hasn't spoken to in three years. The refuge the old man spent five years building while everyone called him a fool. Joining him is Dr. Faith Morrison — missionary physician, Haiti veteran, and a woman whose faith has been ground down by years of watching children die of treatable diseases while her prayers went unanswered. Together they'll lead a caravan of families, elderly couples, frightened children, and one man hoarding water while others go thirsty — through crashed planes, contaminated water sources, rattlesnake strikes, and triple-digit heat that turns every mile into a question about whether God is still in any of this. Jack's father has been broadcasting on emergency radio every night. Come north. There's room. Come anyway. The wooden cross is still in Jack's pocket. Some things you can't throw away. Some debts can't be balanced. And some refuges are built by people who believed — long before anyone else did — that the day would come when you'd need somewhere to run. Desert's Edge: A Jack Cross Novel is a post-apocalyptic survival thriller about what it costs to keep walking when everything in you says stop — and what grace looks like when you finally arrive.

The countdown to Pinnacle is on. Returning this year to San Diego from July 13-16, Pinnacle remains one of the most influential leadership and management conferences in EMS. Now entering its 22nd year, the event continues to attract executives, clinical leaders, innovators, educators and industry partners who gather not simply to learn, but to debate, challenge assumptions and shape the future direction of EMS. EMS1 is proud to be the premier media partner of Pinnacle. | MORE: What Paramedics Want in 2026: Bookmark this page to get your copy Joining EMS One-Stop this week is Anthony Minge, senior partner at Fitch & Associates and one of the driving forces behind Pinnacle. Anthony previews the major themes emerging this year, including workforce retention, leadership development, burnout and wellness, preparedness, artificial intelligence, blood delivery, drone technology and the ever-popular What Paramedics Want report. Throughout the discussion, Anthony emphasizes that Pinnacle's value extends beyond the classroom. The real learning often happens in the conversations between sessions, over meals and among peers facing the same challenges across the country. The conversation explores why retention has overtaken recruitment as EMS's primary workforce concern, how leaders must take greater responsibility for organizational culture, and why emerging technologies such as AI and drone-delivered medical supplies are changing the profession faster than many realize. Anthony also offers a preview of keynote speakers, including preparedness expert and author William Forstchen, and highlights sessions covering leadership, resilience, operational excellence, workforce wellness and healthcare innovation. As always, Pinnacle promises to deliver practical takeaways, provocative discussions, and the opportunity to connect with some of the brightest minds in EMS. Key quotes "If we can keep our people, we don't need to spend as much time trying to replace them." "People don't leave organizations, they leave managers." "Burnout is still too high. One suicide is way too many." "We can't push it into the dark corners of our organizations and just hope it goes away." "AI is here to stay. It's going to help us. It's going to do some great things." "It is never meant to replace this computer right here." "We practice healthcare. We practice extremely innovative healthcare out there." "It's amazing the things that are happening out there." "Good leaders share." "Being responsible leaders is probably one of our largest challenges."

Dr. William Forstchen discusses the adaptation of his book "One Second After" into a movie. The film, produced by MPI Films and directed by Scott Rogers, is set to start filming in Bulgaria in September, with a release expected in late spring or early summer next year. The movie will focus on the devastating impact of an EMP attack, a topic Forstchen has long advocated for. He emphasizes the importance of realistic portrayals and the need for infrastructure protection. Forstchen also touches on broader themes of societal preparedness, the impact of technology on jobs, and the geopolitical landscape, particularly the potential threats from China and the importance of re-industrializing America.0:00:00 - Intro0:00:20 - "One Second After" the Movie 0:08:55 - Power Outage Experience 0:12:20 - Differences with 9/11 & an EMP 0:14:25 - Awareness of the EMP Issue 0:17:25 - Reports on EMP and Response 0:19:11 - Logistics of EMP & Effect 0:24:00 - Teaching Basic Survival Skills 0:29:35 - Artificial Intelligence, Job Loss & History 0:32:14 - Fall of Roman Empire and United States 0:34:51 - Farm Land, Water, China & Infrastructure 0:42:50 - Chip Production & Sending a Message 0:45:22 - United States Current Day and History 0:50:53 - Immigration Laws and History 0:55:05 - Schools, Security & Prevention 0:59:25 - Future Plans with the Movie & Sequel 1:01:58 - Outro Dr. William Fortschen books on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B000APZ9N8Chuck Shute link tree:https://linktr.ee/chuck_shuteSupport the showThanks for Listening & Shute for the Moon!

We discuss eating Korn in a disaster, and why eating Korn in a disaster is not the best option. Also, William Forstchen, author of One Second After, is here.

How vulnerable are we to an EMP? After hearing which nations are capable of this kind of attack, we should also discuss what we're doing about it.

Marc Cox hosts Dr. William Forstchen, author of One Second After, discussing the impending film adaptation of his bestselling novel about an EMP attack that could cripple America. Forstchen breaks down how a nuclear EMP detonated in space could instantly shut down all electronics, leading to catastrophic power failures and societal collapse—potentially killing up to 80% of the population within a year. The book—and soon the movie—drives home the frightening reality that modern America is shockingly vulnerable, with no meaningful civilian protections in place. The discussion also covers the collapse of law and order, survival challenges like food shortages and the collapse of currency (which turns to bullets), and the vital importance of preparation. Forstchen and Marc underscore the failure of government to adequately address this threat, the dangers of dependence on technology, and the urgent need for Americans to get serious about readiness. The film is set to begin shooting in Bulgaria this fall with a release planned for late spring or early summer next year.

Marc, Kim, and Ethan open Hour 4 with a hard-hitting look at America's vulnerability to a catastrophic EMP attack, featuring bestselling author William Forstchen discussing his novel One Second After and its upcoming Hollywood film adaptation. They break down how a single nuclear blast in space could cripple the nation, collapse society, and kill millions—while exposing government failure to act. The show also highlights Missouri's bold new ban on cell phones in classrooms aimed at restoring discipline, and rallies community support for a local family facing hardship with upcoming fundraisers. As President Trump prepares to visit flood-ravaged Texas, the hosts deliver the kind of tough, no-nonsense coverage that listeners trust.

Marc, Kim, and Ethan charge into Friday's Marc Cox Morning Show taking on Big Tech censorship after Facebook shuts down their livestream—Marc rips into Silicon Valley hypocrisy and teases powerhouse guests like Tanya J. Powers, Jim Carafano, and Dr. William Forstchen. The team exposes the government's hidden hand in weather manipulation and Biden's cognitive decline while torching NPR's bias and Senator Hawley's warning over AI deepfakes. Tanya reports on the anniversary of Trump's near-assassination, and Bob Onder dismantles Medicaid myths and Biden's health cover-up. William Forstchen delivers a chilling breakdown of America's vulnerability to an EMP attack in his bestselling One Second After, now being adapted for the big screen. Meanwhile, Missouri bans cell phones in classrooms, Kim crushes Baylor's woke backpedaling, and Joy Behar threatens to stop paying taxes—sparking a scathing civics lesson. From illegal immigration and transgender medical scandals to a Eureka community rally and the Queen of Hearts jackpot, it's a packed show that pulls zero punches.

Marc & Kim kick off the Marc Cox Morning Show with a heated reaction to Facebook pulling their livestream over licensed music—Marc blasts Big Tech's hypocritical censorship while teasing major interviews with Tanya J. Powers, Jim Carafano, and Dr. William Forstchen. From Lee Zeldin's promised transparency on geoengineering to Josh Hawley's AI moratorium concerns, the hour is packed. The team dives into the chemtrail and cloud seeding debate following deadly Texas floods, weighs the credibility of long-hidden government weather programs, and critiques media gaslighting over Biden's cognitive decline. In Kim on a Whim, Kim torches a California Catholic diocese for suspending Mass for illegals afraid of ICE, calling out moral inconsistency within the church. Marc challenges the narrative that ICE targets churches, accusing leftist clergy of political grandstanding. Finally, the show honors Officer Schneider of Troy, MO as June's Feed Our First Responders pick while Marc recalls his own reporting on secret Cold War chemical testing in St. Louis—proof that government secrecy is real, and so are the questions that follow.

Dr. William Forstchen is the author of over 50 books, including One Second After and the John Matherson series, which have been on the New York Times bestseller list for over 8 years and are currently being made into a movie. He has also co-authored three Civil War novels with Newt Gingrich. Forstchen is a professor of history at Montreat College and a subject matter expert on national security threats, EMPs, history, and current affairs.

Paranormal researcher Alex Matsuo joined guest host Rich Berra (email) to explore the darker side of Christmas traditions. For centuries, societies, particularly in pagan traditions, believed that the veil between the living and the spirit world was thinner during this time, with figures like Odin leading the Wild Hunt to collect souls, she explained. This belief in wandering spirits and darker forces inspired tales and traditions, which were later blended into festive storytelling, most notably by Charles Dickens in A Christmas Carol. This juxtaposition of joy and darkness is characteristic of the season, she added.Matsuo shared how personal experiences shaped her exploration of Christmas's darker lore. Following the loss of close family members and grappling with personal grief, she found solace in delving into the macabre aspects of Christmas traditions. She highlighted figures like Krampus and Frau Perchta, who imposed moral lessons through fear, as well as the evolution of these traditions into more playful modern interpretations. This historical curiosity also revealed how pre-Christian practices were often absorbed into Christian festivities, she noted.Matsuo traced the origins of various Christmas figures and their traditions from around the world, emphasizing the Scandinavian roots of many customs. For example, she examined Krampus's role as Saint Nicholas's enforcer, punishing naughty children, and Finland's Joulupukki, a goat-like figure evolved from darker mythological roots into a gift-giving entity akin to Santa Claus. The cultural importance of leaving offerings for these figures is a recurring theme, symbolizing respect and gratitude to mythical guardians, she pointed out.------------------------------------------During the latter half of the program, bestselling author William Forstchen touched on drone sightings in the U.S., and the potential dangers of solar flares and EMPs. He expressed frustration with the bureaucracy's sluggishness in addressing aerial threats, likening it to the inefficiencies of the Department of Motor Vehicles. He noted that clear, decisive action, such as shooting down unverified objects, could provide answers and alleviate public concern. Forstchen critiqued the federal government's response to incidents like the Chinese spy balloon, which traversed the U.S. largely unchallenged.Shifting to EMPs, Forstchen elaborated on the catastrophic consequences of such an event, detailing how it could cripple electrical grids and lead to societal collapse. He explained the mechanics of EMPs and highlighted the vulnerabilities in the U.S. infrastructure, citing outdated components and a lack of preparedness. Using fictional storytelling, such as his book One Second After, he illustrates the devastating effects on water supply, food distribution, and public order.Forstchen also expressed his optimism for private enterprise revolutionizing space exploration and addressing technological gaps. He affirmed that humans landed on the moon, dismissing conspiracy theories as implausible due to the sheer number of people required to sustain such a hoax. Reflecting on the International Space Station (ISS), he discussed the challenges faced by astronauts, particularly those stranded due to unforeseen circumstances, emphasizing the physical toll of prolonged weightlessness. He highlighted the need for robust planning and innovation to tackle both terrestrial and extraterrestrial challenges.Guests

About this episode:  For millennia humans have reflected on historical events. Quite often, one poses the timeless question: what if - had a life been spared or taken, had a candidate won rather than lost and, as it relates to this episode, what if a battle or war ended differently? So, with a degree of trepidation, we address that last question and will do so through the works of a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and two university professors. With writing fueled by incredible imagination and plots, characters and consequences drawn from factual trends and themes, we offer three stories from the genre of alternative and counterfactual history. Three stories that address “what if” the South had won the American Civil War.               ----more---- For Further Reading: If The South Had Won The Civil War by MacKinlay Kantor   The Guns of the South by Harry Turtledove   The Confederate States of America: What Might Have Been by Roger L.

Glenn goes through the top-down, bottom-up, inside-out theory outlined in his latest Wednesday Night Special. Glenn discusses the Cloward and Piven theory that explains why many Americans feel overwhelmed. A nationwide cell service outage has affected millions of Americans. Was this due to a cyber attack? Elon Musk's Neuralink has just completed its first infusion into the human mind. Glenn and Stu discuss the dangers of artificial intelligence, which are worsening. William Forstchen, the author of "One Second After," joins to discuss the cellular outage and how America is woefully unprepared for further outages. Glenn and Stu react to Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) calling out the U.S. under secretary of state for arms control and international security for refusing to say who would run a Palestinian state. VP Kamala Harris has stated she is "absolutely ready" to take over as president should Biden be unable to continue.
