First, in our Bill of Rights, is the freedom to hear uncensored ideas and opinions, to
think your own thoughts and to say what's on your mind.
We couldn't have liberty without it.
Now more than ever, it's good to spout off, to listen, debate, and participate.
Here's your host of Spouting Off, commentator, columnist, and all-around rabble-rouser,
Karrion Kattoline.
Well, hello everyone.
It's good to have you along.
Here in Kattoline, one of the Allen-Nathan All-Stars.
As you may know, sadly, we lost our fearless leader, Allen-Nathan, just a couple of weeks
ago.
We forge ahead with courage and fortitude to do the Allen-Nathan All-Stars.
I am often with you on Mondays, pleasuring and honored to be here.
As we like to say, we know and we hope that Allen-Nathan's memory continues to be a blessing.
To that end, I'm delighted to welcome our very first guest.
I requested him because we saw his movie last night.
How cool is it to watch a movie with your friends on a holiday weekend?
It was my birthday.
As someone came, we had a house guest and we decided to watch his movie and what fun
it was when I could ask our producer, Joseph, to say, could you get cell effect so I could
talk to him about the movie we saw last night.
Wonderful movie.
He is the director, producer and humorist, director of the mystery thriller Guns and Moses.
Now streaming on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, and all other major platforms, he also authored
the most compelling book, Let My People Laugh, Greatest Jewish Jokes of All Time.
Cell Litvak joins us right now on the Allen-Nathan All-Stars.
Hi, Cell, good to have you.
After a build-up like that, yes, I can hear you.
Yay.
Did you hear me or was his soul?
Absolutely.
That was, ah, come any time after that introduction.
That's fine.
Well, I had to do a build-up, but I mean, you deserve it.
What a wonderful movie it was touching.
I have lots to say about it, but I wanted to, let's start with you.
How's the movie doing?
What is your experience?
What are you hearing out there?
And then we'll talk about more about how you made it and many other things.
So, yes, you talk about Guns and Moses, but let's say the titles that people know what
we're talking about.
Guns and Moses.
And thank God.
I mean, it's getting out there.
People are loving it.
We have a super high audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
People just love the movie and the word of mouth is spreading like crazy and, you know,
thank God it's a hit.
But I'll tell you, it's in spite of the legacy media, you know, movie about Jews who fight
that, a movie that's post-Second Amendment, Pro-Faith.
That's not going to get a helping, you know, loving push from the legacy media in this
climate.
And it's really because America wants to see this movie that it's getting out there.
Well, and it's in line, it's consistent with the whole bias of the propaganda media that
you referenced that wants to keep people in the closet who are pro-American, pro-faith,
and pro-Second Amendment, especially they want Jews to keep their heads down.
And the liberal left, many of whom happen, sadly, to be Jews, are very accustomed to
that.
They'll be loud and noisy about LGBT XYZ, but they won't be loud and noisy or have a good
amount of pride about being Jewish.
I mean, Hollywood is filled with such people.
These people are moral cowards.
They're afraid of what the interns will think or say.
So many of them said nothing during the entire hostage crisis these last two years.
And a lot of them are just outright topos.
I mean, you know, maybe they're driven, maybe they think they have a moral center.
But the stuff that they're doing and saying it's extraordinary.
Now you have this election in New York City.
And I mean, these Jews from Mamdani, it's the same as Chickens for KFC.
I mean, this is a guy who is an outspoken Jew hater, globalizing to fight it, et cetera.
He's going to be, he's a socialist, he's a communist.
Not just the Jews that are going to have a problem.
It becomes mayor in New York.
It's everybody.
No, it never is.
It never is just the Jews.
We just tend to be the canaries in the mine shaft.
And luckily, in a way, we have time to talk about Kami Mamdani.
And it's terrifying for so many reasons.
And we can get into that.
But I don't want to gloss over this movie because people say, well, what can you do?
First of all, you want to try as hard as you can to prevent it.
I don't know how hard New Yorkers, people in New York have tried.
And I guess we'll see the results of that tomorrow on election day.
But meanwhile, if you are confronted with true evil and people want to kill you,
and there's a line in the movie that says that, if people want to kill you,
believe them.
Yeah.
And yet it's deeper and more multifaceted than that.
You covered a lot of aspects of Jew hatred in your movie.
It wasn't just about Jew hatred.
You avoided a lot of stereotypes that you would expect in a movie like this, right?
Because there's a lot of those in Hollywood.
They just cast all Jews as something.
They cast all blacks as something.
And there were a lot of surprises and twists and turns in this plot.
And among the neatest things was the totally unapologetic approach to Jews defending themselves
and a proper respect for the Second Amendment.
You had a rabbi who certainly wasn't jumping to learn how to use a weapon to defend himself
and his family.
He was highly reluctant.
And yet he not only stepped up to it, but he did the proper training to make sure that
he was responsible about it.
That's exactly right.
As a director of this movie and as a co-writer with my wife, we can see it then wrote this
together.
It's very important to do a lot of things that you just alluded to.
Number one, to smash stereotypes.
If we were going to do a Jewish movie and a movie that is an action thriller, a mystery
thriller, a proper thriller, our first job was to entertain.
You know, I mean, it forgets sending a message.
If you don't entertain your audience, it's a total failure.
So we had to make sure it's an exciting, fun movie that keeps you guessing.
And then we populated it with characters from our world.
People we know, people who are real, who are authentic from authentic religious Jews, nuanced
people.
When Hollywood makes a movie about Jews, it's only the ridiculous stereotypes.
If they're Jews of faith, it's to mock their faith.
Usually it's Holocaust Jews who are dead or sticky Jews or comedians.
We are an ancient people, a nuanced people.
There are so many different kinds of Jews and so many different kinds of experiences
that we can bring to bear and introduce you to characters you've never met before and
then watching them navigate these crises in their lives.
I didn't grow up around guns, but I am an Orthodox Jew, which is to say a visible Jew.
And we became aware of the rising threat levels long ago because they're real.
It's not paranoid to think that there's people out there who want to hurt us.
And I joined a security organization called Maganam.
You know, I first became licensed for exposed carry, then concealed carry.
And we take the training very seriously.
If you want to defend your family, you don't just buy a gun and put it in a drawer.
Then you've done nothing.
You have to really extensively train to know how to use a firearm.
And something in the firearms community that people really appreciate is that how many
times in a Hollywood movie somebody has to learn how to shoot.
It's a few things you can't on a fence, 10 seconds later, the guy can shoot.
That's not the real world.
It's very hard to shoot accurately under pressure when you're in danger.
Take muscle memory and tremendous reps.
And we show that in the movie.
We show real fire on training.
That is so great.
Another thing that you show that we were aware of, I was watching it and telling people
about it.
It was really fun.
And it was moving and touching for the people that I was watching with.
But another thing is a variety of kinds of hatred.
It isn't always a skinhead.
It isn't always an Islamo fascist, although there's that, there's leftists.
You know, people get afflicted with this, you could call it a brain virus or whatever
you want to just put people all in the same bucket.
People who, by the way, have been lecturing us for decades about tolerance and diversity
and love.
But it's also that you make an effort, if you think, I won't give it away, I'll have
to, you make an effort to see if you can reason with someone first.
If you can't reason with them, you defend yourself.
But not every character stayed the same.
We're going to talk about that and more with the producer and director of Guns N'Moses
on the Main Street Radio Network.
Sal the door Litvak is with us.
And this is the Aline The Nal Stars.
Stay tuned.
According to a 2025 annual study by National Student Clearinghouse, more than 43 million
people have some college credit, but no degree.
Devin Andrews, vice president of admissions and evaluation at University of Phoenix, explains
how to leverage prior college credit and pursue that degree.
Not everyone follows a straight path from high school to a college degree.
But a University of Phoenix survey found that 33% of working adults don't realize that
their college coursework might still apply toward a degree.
Completing a degree can open doors to career enhancement, and previous college credit could
count toward a degree, but the potential to save both time and money.
Start by documenting your learning, check colleges or universities to see if they have
clear policies on transferring credit, and look for tools that might help you assess your
program time and cost.

There are an estimated one million cases of shingles in the US each year.
Dr. Leonard Friedland from GSK has more information about who is at risk and what to do about
it.
Shingles is a painful blistering rash that can last for weeks.
It's caused by the same virus as chickenpox, which remains dormant in a person's body and
can reactivate years later as shingles.
Starting around age 50, your immune system weakens with age, increasing your risk of
developing shingles.
In addition to age, certain chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, COPD, chronic
kidney disease and asthma have all been linked to a higher risk of shingles.
Shingles can disrupt work, sleep, family time and daily routines.
99% of adults already have the virus that can cause shingles.
Though not everyone will develop it, but prevention is possible and pharmacists are here to help.
Pharmacists are trusted healthcare providers that help keep our community safe and healthy.
Talk to your local pharmacists to find out about your risk for vaccine-preventable diseases,
including shingles.
Gotta get this all straightened out.
Keep a little talking to, man to man, man to know what mano.

Welcome back to the Allen Nathan All-Stars.
I'm Karen Catalina, a pleasure to be with you.
And an even bigger pleasure to have with us director, producer and humorist and director
of the mystery thriller Guns N' Roses now streaming on Amazon Prime and Apple TV is Salvador
Luthek.
Hi Sal, good to have you.
And thanks for staying with us one more segment.
Absolutely.
I was a pleasure.
So by the way, I am a guest on another show, not a host but a guest, Kegelay hosted, and
I told them they needed to call you.
So if you could talk about Guns N' Roses, his name is Vic Porceli.
And when he heard Salvador Luthek, he just thought that was the funniest thing.
He said, Italian and Jewish, I love it.
Are you Sephardic?
No, no, my family came from Ukraine about 1905 and ended up in Santiago de Chile.
And we don't know why they went to Chile.
We don't know why.
That's another story.
That's another story.
My father and my grandfather and I were all born in Chile.
But listen, it really touches my heart what you're saying about spreading the word about
Guns N' Roses because I'm telling you, it's despite the not to stand villains, but the
actual efforts against us in that propaganda media that you're talking about.
You know, a movie like ours, we have an amazing cast, Mark Fory, your steam Christopher Lloyd,
Neil McDonough, Dermot Mulroney.
We open up in hundreds of theaters.
It's a movie in this current climate that could not be more relevant.
And a movie with that kind of footprints on Ron Tomatoes, you would expect it to have
between one and 200 reviews.
It has 11.
And we know that the LA Times and the New York Times watched the movie and then didn't review
it.
Now, that's not what they do.
But they're going to ignore you.
They ignore you.
But if they actually watched the movie, they review it.
And we know from our PR team that they watched it and then didn't publish the review.
And that means that someone in that food chain said, oh, no, we're not going to support
this self.
And you're off narrative in this country, you know, when you are off narrative to the
mainstream media, then there's an embargo against you.
And that's when it becomes, you know, something that we did poem down the word of mouth of
the public that cares about movies like this.
If you want to see more movies like this, that don't share the woke attitude of Hollywood,
you got to support this film.
Watch it now.
It's easy to watch at home and then tell your friends to watch it too.
And vote for it.
One last thing I'll say is if you look at IMDB, we have this 5.5 score.
But if you actually look at the ratings, it's all like nine to 10 and ones.
And you can just tell from the trailer that this movie is not a one.
Right?
So they get to actual Jew haters who are there to suppress the vote, lower the number and
try to impede the progress of this kind of a film.
It's not paranoid when people are actually after you.
And you got it.
No, it isn't.
And just by virtue of what we saw in the attempt to flip the narrative of October 7th, almost
immediately from the Jews and Israel being clear victims to suddenly being perpetrators,
the most that you saw were people actively wanting Israel and Jews, making it somehow
morally superior to take it and not fight back.
That is the heart and soul of this movie, I think, not just for Jews, but for people
who are being persecuted and directly under threat to be strong and to rightfully fight
back and defend themselves and their families, you're right.
Propaganda media hates that idea.
They want people to buckle under.
Yes.
Yes.
They want absolute government control.
They want the only people to have guns is to be the government and the bad guys, right?
They don't care about that.
No, never.
Somehow it's okay.
You know, their whole philosophy is to take the guns away from the good guys.
You know, it's like, oh, yeah.
They have car accidents, so we're going to take away cars from legitimate drivers.
That's our gun control work.
Well, and it is a ploy that is incredibly transparent to take every reason to impose
greater law and order on criminals, not victims, to use it to impose tyranny on victims.
To that end, we have a few minutes to talk about.
We are literally the day before this election, and we are watching a communist Muslim, and
we're talking about an ideology of Islamism and Jew hater in the greatest, in the city
with the greatest number of Jews and free markets in the country, and certainly it's
astonishing.
If people want to know what it'll look like, God forbid, they have only to look at London.
What do you say having made a movie like this in what we are facing right now in New York
City?
Wake up, people.
What is it going to play to understand the danger that this guy poses?
I mean, he doesn't deny that he's a communist.
He's proud that he's a socialist.
We've seen that story over and over and over again.
It never works.
It's a bunch of promises made by charismatic aspiring totalitarian.
As soon as they get in, they start to realign everything, to consolidate their power, taking
away rights and privileges.
Not privileges.
Right.
Taking away basic American rights.
This is so dangerous.
My mother and my grandmother survived the Holocaust.
My grandmother kept my mother as an instant.
You're a concentration camp.
They're Hungarian.
After the war, they found themselves in Soviet Hungary, living in Budapest under Soviet rule.
They couldn't get out until 1956.
They finally got out with a suitcase or anything to get the heck out of there because life
on the communism is so bad.
They ended up in Chile because a relative, for some reason a relative chose to found
an economic opportunity in Chile and went there.
That's when my mother met my father.
In 1970, Chile elected a communist president.
And the Hungarian side of the family said, we've seen this story before.
You know how it ends?
We're finished.
We're out.
That's how we ended up.
Thank God in the United States.
And sure enough, that government of Salvador Allende was a disaster.
Three years of absolute chaos.
And at the end of it, it was finally such a disaster that a military coup took over.
And then it was an absolute dictator that took the place of that communist government.
It was just absolute chaos.
And please God, New York.
I mean, you know, there are there are going to be some controls in place.
New York is part of the United States.
I hope there's a check on the power of the mayor.
This guy got the big gets elected.
But please New Yorkers and I grew up in New York.
Vote against this man.
The lead has been closing and you can defeat him.
And in the meantime, watch guys and mothers.
Watch it and tell your friends Guns and Moses, Amazon Prime, Apple TV.
And we want more of these kinds of movies.
So keep up the great work.
Salvador Litvak, follow him on Twitter and go to the website.
Thank you so much.
We will be back on the Allen Nathan All-Stars on the Main Street Radio Network.
Right after this.

That's a stark contrast to those medications.

Welcome back everyone to the Allen Nathan show.
I'm Karen Cataline one of the Allen Nathan all stars.
If you'd like to access the archives of the Allen Nathan show and it's a veritable history
of the work that Allen did and the years that he did it go to mainstreet radio network.com.
Well I'm delighted to welcome our next guest executive editor at Newsbusters loved always
love Newsbusters and host of the Newsbusters podcast Tim Graham.
Hi Tim good to have you along on the Allen Nathan show all stars.
Hello.
Oh is this a real person or is this a movie phone voice.
Hello.
Yeah well it's I got my dad with a DJ what's going to happen you know.
You should do that remember that movie phone.
Here are the time zones 320 49 for 420 whatever it may be.
Listen we have a lot to talk about.
There is we just never thought especially after November 5th I guess some of us knew
that after November 5th last year just about a year ago Donald Trump won in a landslide
and gave America another chance and now there's a communist Muslim Jew hater just
about poised God forbid to become mayor of New York City in America.
It's hard to believe but the nighttime comedians seem to be attacking the opponents of mom
downy is that right because you know I don't watch them I watch God filled I don't think
they're doing that.
Yeah well Alex Christie here at Newsbusters keeps a spreadsheet of jokes on late night
and in part because we have just we had noticed this over the years how dramatically you know
how many anti-Trump's could their Trump jokes could there possibly be and then how many jokes
about the Democrats.
So in this particular case we counted 63 jokes about the New York mayor race candidates.
Only three of the 63 are about mom downy you know the up so I mean that was I thought
was what's fun stuff because and of those three two of them are from the same night of
Jimmy Fallon who doesn't really do harsh humor.
Two of them were Jimmy Fallon making jokes about how his seven roommates were excited
he won the primary you know they're they're jokes about him being 33 years old.
So you know there's no jokes about him being you know far lefty yeah Hamah the border.
He's a communist and communist lie but that's beside the one.
Yeah.
Well I mean the news media in general have been supportive of the mom Donnie candidacy
and so that's the interesting part is they call these people the mainstream media.
You give them a Democrat primary and they're going to say okay who's the nuttiest one
that's who we're going to favor.
Yeah and not only that but they they set the tone for all the other legacy no they're
not legacy moody they're propaganda media and then they echo it in an echo chamber
and put down anybody who doesn't go along.
Do you think they know what they're doing?
I don't think I care but it's astonishing how consistent and how knee jerk they are.
Yeah some have compared him to Barack Obama you know except mom Donnie's got things that
Obama you know mom Donnie grew up in Uganda we don't have the Obama grew up in Washington
state or something he you know Obama got to lie that yeah well he started in Hawaii but
his mother took him away from Hawaii rather quickly you know if you read his phony memoir
he says he was with his dad until he was two that's not the case his mother got him
out of there pretty quickly you know that you want to talk about fake news Barack Obama's
memoir even liberals who wrote books about Obama said there's a lot of fiction in there
his girlfriends became composites it's just the weirdest thing but you know I think with
mom Donnie it sort of has that same flavor where they're like oh he's exotic he's somehow
vaguely foreign and because the white people are scared of him we like him it's just a weird
dynamic. Well they say they're scared of him because he's not white and that's a great
narrative but it's a hundred percent not true if they had Thomas soul running for you know
something we wouldn't be afraid of them at all it's based purely on qualifications and
ideology I'll tell you you mentioned POTUS 44 and we know that POTUS 44 and Kami mom Donnie
have been having all kinds of telephone conversations I'll tell you what I worry about not that
there isn't enough to worry about that Obama has been counseling Kami mom Donnie in how
to slowly implement the communism and to shield immediately the plan the way Obama did
because there's really not much daylight between the two at all one was a crypto communist and
the other is an open one where am I wrong well I just you know I think that mom Donnie's
associations here with there I mean they're obviously our connections to Obama through
Patrick Gaspard who has been described as a close confidant on a mom Donnie there's there
are connections there Obama hasn't endorsed mom Donnie that's an important piece he knows
me too yeah yeah he can claim that he's neutral and that he's he's going to appeal to the
people who are worried about him oh it's so strategic for him not to does anybody think
that he doesn't agree 100% with mom Donnie and would do the same thing if he was in that
position I don't I think it's a little like Chuck Schumer it's like you know again he wants
to hold out the notion of well yeah October 7 was bad so yeah I'm I'm a I'm a moderate
there's nothing moderate about either one of them but hey we're getting off this I guess
we're getting off the subject well you know what do you see is God forbid it happens and
we wake up tomorrow to find out we have a communist mayor of New York City the most capitalist
city possibly one of them in the world what do you see as the way to fight back I don't
even want to say the terrible stuff that's going to happen because terrible stuff is going
to happen sure well I mean I guess some people would say well we they already had a socialist
mayor and Bill de Blasio you know how is it going to be different and I think that's you
know again some of the things he's proposed are well beyond the de Blasio plan as we know
the city owned grocery store is the free bus trips you know there's going to be things he's
going to have trouble implementing some of these things because he's going to have to
get support from the governor of New York because she's the one who's going to have
to bring the money to some of these promises so I think the camp the campaign is going
to be more glorified than the actual mayoral tea when if that when if and when that occurs
but again the news being turning forgive me how about turning a blind eye to a million
Muslims and growing in New York City who will pray and open and demand everyone else
just look at London and whether it'll be safe for Jews and others non-Muslims to to
live and walk the streets in New York City eventually is that a realistic fear yeah I
mean I think if we look at the like for example the protests at Columbia it's pretty easy for
people to feel threatened and these are the sorts of issues where yeah again they they
they want to say what so we imported a bunch of Muslims what's wrong with that you know
they they and this is where it's like which one of us is in favor of democracy I can't
understand people who say they're for the open society and then they support Hamas you know
I mean it's like that's not the open society that's not the way it works out well it's
real laws not the open society it's like LGBTQ for Hamas I mean the ignorance and stupidity
is is massive I am what do you want to tell us I mean I don't I I think a lot of people
are probably thinking and feeling what I'm doing which is going blah blah blah blah
what do you do what do you do at this point what do you think we need to do or what do
you what are you gonna be watching for well I mean I think we've already seen to some degree
that the Republicans are going to use mom Donnie to say this is the Democrat party today you
know and then they tried to ask Akim Jeffries if mom Donnie's the face of the Democrats and
he's like no well he kind of is well and he just he just endorsed him didn't he finally
or he's gonna I mean he's yeah yeah well we're living in extraordinary times how do people
find you at Newsbusters very simple newsbusters dot org yeah we love Newsbusters I think it's
a great place Tim Graham thank you so much for joining us on the L and Nathan all stars
we're gonna take a quick break when we come back we'll wrap up this hour with more on
the Main Street Radio Network.
Would you know where to turn if you or loved one suddenly became paralyzed?
Paralysis isn't something you plan for but the National Paralysis Resource Center has
served as a vital lifeline for thousands of families but federal funding for the program
is at risk.
Marine veteran Sherman Gilliams Jr. Senior Director of Public Policy at the Christopher
and Dana Reeve Foundation says the consequences could be devastating.
This is about more than just a budget line.
It's about veterans caregivers and families real people who need these resources to live
more productive and independent lives.
Gilliams who lives with paralysis himself says cutting this funding would remove critical
resources like peer mentoring help with housing and job placement guidance.
When you take away these lifelines people must figure out how to rebuild their lives
on their own and that's not something any family should have to do.
Learn about the importance of funding for the National Paralysis Resource Center at

On Sunday November 2nd Americans will fall back to standard time despite growing concerns
over the health and safety risks of seasonal time changes.
According to sleep experts making standard time permanent could improve the lives of millions
and the coalition for permanent standard time and its partner the American Academy of
Sleep Medicine are working to make that a reality.
Dr. Karen Johnson, Sleep Medicine Physician and Co-Chair of the Coalition for Permanent
Standard Time.
When our schedules align with the timing of natural light people benefit from brighter
mornings, safer commutes to work in school and improve sleep at night.
Want to lessen the effects of the time change?
Try these tips.
Get at least seven hours of sleep per night before and after the change.
Adjust the timing of daily routines like meals and exercise and head out for early morning
sunlight during the week after the time change.

Dear John, I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but you've left me no choice.
I'm leaving.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure is really serious and lately you seem to really not
care.
I've been there for you since day one and I know you think I'm going to keep ticking
but know my friend, I can quit whenever I want.
Why can't we get back to the good times when we were more active and eat more healthy
foods and you check on me every once in a while?
Is that too much to ask?
I don't want to leave but unless you stop ignoring me, what else am I supposed to do?
Remember, when I quit, you quit.
Sincerely, your heart.
Listen to your heart and don't let it quit on you.
Even the minimum to control your high blood pressure isn't doing enough.
High blood pressure can lead to a stroke, heart attack or death.
Get your blood pressure to a healthy range before it's too late.
For help keeping yours at a healthy range, text pressure to 97779, a message from the
American Heart Association, the American Stroke Association and the Ad Council.
You know that feeling?
Like every door is closing and you just can't see a way out?
Being unemployed, underemployed or just out of school feels a lot like that.
But when you find the right tools, suddenly everything just clicks.

I'm Ben Affleck and I want to thank you for joining me and supporting Paralyzed Veterans
of America.
Are vets need you?
I'm a quadriplegia.
I'm definitely at risk with my diminished long-capacity.
I have MS.
I'm in a wheelchair and I can't leave the house because I have a compromised immune system.
I'm very concerned about would there be a bed for me?
Would there be a ventilator for me?
Would I be able to survive something?
It's just heavy.
You know, it's a heavy moment.
This is a war.
It really is.
Our veterans fought for us.
Let's fight for that.
I am so grateful for the PVA.
They're making sure that we have all of the food and supplies that we need right now.
We all got to help each other right now.
We can't get through this by ourselves.
This was profound gratitude that you're going to be saving our lives.
To find out how you can help, please go to helppva.org.

Welcome back to the Alan Nathan Show and the Alan Nathan All Stars.
I'm Karen Kettleene.
I like to do Mondays.
That's when you might hear me and there's a couple of other regular posts of the Alan
Nathan All Stars.
We do this in memory and in gratitude to Alan Nathan, whom we lost just a couple of weeks
ago.
We keep going because that's what he would want and I'm honored to do it.
We are pleased to have with us rounding out this hour Miss America of 2023 and a trained
nuclear engineer.
My, how things have changed.
Wow.
I mean, why not?
Why not be surprised?
Don't have to be surprised.
She's toured the country and advocated for clean energy education policy and her name
is Grace Stanky Vanderhigh.
Hi, Grace.
Welcome to the Alan Nathan All Stars.
Good to have you along.
Hi, Karen.
Thanks so much for having me.
Yes.
Yes.
So you wrote a book with, oh, God forbid, being optimistic about nuclear energy and as a solution
to AI advances and straining the power grid and how this hits both the climate goals and
economic growth goals.
I bet the left doesn't like you for it.
So that's why we're pleased to have you on.
Talk about your book and your points here to help us understand.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So the book is actually not released yet.
So just a little bit of background on the timing for that.
It won't be out until March of 2027.
But it really is all about harnessing optimism and understanding how to use it in your everyday
life.
And I apply that in my everyday life as a nuclear engineer, not just in my workplace
or in my job, but in literally every aspect.
But when it comes to nuclear energy, I have nothing but to feel optimistic.
As I know and see firsthand how we operate these plants, the United States has the best
performing fleet in the world when it comes to our nuclear energy.
And that's how we continue to have abundant, reliable and clean energy from nuclear.
And I'm excited to see that continue to grow as we've seen substantial growth over the
past couple of past years.
So we've had three plants announced that they're going to be restarting.
The most recent one was last week in Iowa.
The Duane Arnold plant announced they're restarting and additionally the Trump administration
announced an $80 billion deal with Westinghouse for building new reactors.
So we can see them right now in the United States.
Not only do we already have the best, but we're looking at continuing to be the best.
Yeah.
Well, and we speak to you at a very timely way.
That's always timely because our president doesn't sleep much and he seems to be on a
mission to do as much as quickly as he possibly can to return sanity.
That doesn't mean we have to agree with everything he does.
But my oh my, the contrast is mind boggling between this and the auto pen administration.
But with regard to nuclear energy, which a lot of people don't read a lot about, they
may not have a scientific background like you do.
Well, Donald Trump just came out just a day or two ago saying that he wanted to test nuclear.
I think it was more the defense end of nuclear.
But as soon as people hear nuclear, nuclear, they go ballistic.
That's a pun.
Talk to us about what is going on in the Trump administration in terms of nuclear power and
what you know about what he said, which I realize are two kind of separate things.
Yes.
But still important.
Absolutely.
No, it is good to address both things because national security both comes from one, our
military, but then two in terms of our energy security.
That's a whole other part of our national security and nuclear does play a role in both
of them.
And that's primarily on energy and electricity as a nuclear engineer.
So I'm not going to speak to the defense side at all beyond anything that I've said.
But when it comes to the energy side with the Trump administration, he really kicks off
his entire presidency with some very pro nuclear statements back in April.
There were some executive orders that issued some reform for some of the regulatory bodies
to make sure that we can have efficient and effective regulation of nuclear so we can
build on time, build on budget and all of these things as the nuclear fleet continues
to expand.
But it hasn't stopped as just as executive orders.
He's agreed to help triple nuclear capacity in the United States by 2050.
And then this past weekend I mentioned he has the Trump administration have an agreement
with Westinghouse for an $80 billion deal to build new reactors.
So it's been really exciting because we are seeing that that nuclear support and an energy
support because he's putting America first to make sure that we as Americans have access
to energy when we want it and how we want it at the end of the day.
Yeah.
Well, hate to go a little negative here, but we really want to talk about, I do, about
what you see being in the field having being a trained nuclear engineer for as long as
you have been.
What do you see if you can as some of the reasons for why the left is so recalcitrant
hostile towards the very things that you're talking about that nuclear energy can do for
us?
Why are they so against it all?
Yeah, you know, I think honestly at the end of the day, I will say nuclear has in comparison
to most of the energy sources that we have comparing to wind and solar, fossil fuels,
all of it.
I would actually argue that nuclear is one of the most bipartisan levels of support,
which is really incredible, right?
It is really incredible.
However, the one thing that we are seeing some resistance or some struggle on is uniting
behind the next big thing.
You know, for me personally, as a young person, I look back and I learned about in history,
you know, things about the space race and the invention of the internet and how that
brought people together.
And like everybody had something to rally behind as a generation.
I strongly believe that as Gen Z, our next thing that we're rallying behind is strong,
reliable energy as we expand our technological advancement with artificial intelligence.
So personally, what I think we need to see from primarily Democrats is the willingness
to unite behind the next big thing and get it done here in the United States.
Here is not a small, a nuclear power plant construction and fleet expansion is not a
small task, but it's possible.
We've done it in the past.
We've done it in the 70s and the 80s.
And with Three Mile Island, we left nuclear behind 40 years ago, it feels like, but we
can get back into that race today, united as one front and make sure that we're standing
in front of China as they continue to build new nuclear.
And as we continue to power the AI future moving forward to keep American jobs on this
soil.

Grace, I'm struck amazingly by the old stereotype of beauty pageant winners in Miss America's
who certainly didn't sound like you.
I just love it.
I mean, it's not that a beauty queen can't be intelligent and beautiful, but my oh my,
it's fun to hear you speak.
We gotta run.
Look for her book, Grace Stanky Vander Heye.
Vander Heye and we'll be right back.
