Episode 286 April 5 2026 Exploring the world of vintage popular recordings
April 5, 2026, 12:18 p.m.
We're rockin' and jivin' all over the world again on Backbeat this week; from the deep south to British Columbia to France and back again to Jamaica we got blues, country, gospel and rock 'n' roll like you'll hear nowhere else on the radio. Where else can you hear the Ravens jiving an Irving Berlin tune, Bobby Daring reviving a novelty from 1902, Slim Gaillard extolling the virtues of Matzoh balls, sweet country singing from a woman so obscure we don't even know her full name, and Sabrina Weeks boogieing downtown all in one show?

So here we are, standing in a moment where the news about Palestine is fading from the headlines, even though the genocide has not stopped for a single day. The suffering continues, the destruction continues, the displacement continues, but the media has succeeded in shifting the world’s attention somewhere else. They’ve redirected the spotlight, and now the entire national conversation revolves around Trump, his statements, his decisions, and his war with Iran, a war that, in my view, he is losing, and a war that is draining the hardest earned savings of ordinary Americans.
Trump believed he could strike Iran and declare victory within twenty four hours.
My argument is that he miscalculated, badly.
And now, what’s coming next is even worse.
Because the power balance is shifting.
Not slowly.
Not quietly.
But unmistakably.
We see the center of global influence moving away from the United States and toward the East, toward China and Russia. And they are watching all of this unfold with a kind of silent amusement. They are observing every announcement, every escalation, every misstep. They are watching the United States burn political capital, economic stability, and global credibility, and they are benefiting from every moment of it.
Trump’s daily statements feel chaotic, contradictory, and disconnected from reality.
This is a president who, in my view, is not only embarrassing himself, but dragging the country’s reputation down with him.
This is a leader whose words no longer reassure, no longer stabilize, no longer inspire confidence.
And we ask directly and unapologetically:
“Mr. President, can you say just one useful sentence? Just one.”
Because from my perspective, he does not represent me as an American.
I feel he was forced upon the country.
I feel his decisions have consequences that ordinary people, not politicians, are forced to live with.
I feel the nation is being pulled into conflicts it did not choose, paying for wars it did not approve, and suffering the fallout of choices made without accountability.
Meanwhile, the story of Palestine, the story that should never leave the world’s conscience, is being pushed aside.
Not because the suffering ended.
Not because justice was served.
But because the media found a new spectacle to chase.
And that is the tragedy within the tragedy:
A genocide continues in the shadows while the world argues over political theater.
I ask you, the listeners, to recognize the pattern.
To see how quickly the narrative shifts.
To understand how easily the truth can be buried under noise.
And to stay awake, even when the headlines try to lull the world back to sleep.
Because in my view, and in the view of many others, the consequences of these decisions, the wars, spending, the shifting alliances, the global power struggle, will not be felt by the wealthy or the powerful.
They will be felt by ordinary people.
By families.
By workers.
By communities already stretched thin.
So:
Let’s pay attention.
Let’s stay awake.
Let’s not allow the truth to be buried.
Let’s not allow the suffering of Palestinians to be erased.
And let’s not pretend that the decisions made today won’t shape the world we wake up to tomorrow.
This is my message.
This is our voice.
Our urgency.
Our warning.
And it lands with weight.
This is This Week in Palestine.
The end of Israeli superiority
April 3, 2026, 8:29 p.m.
A pro-Israeli extremist was arrested in a plot to firebomb the home of an outspoken New York City activist for Palestinian liberation. Host Ali Abunimah speaks with Nerdeen Kiswani. She is taking the far-right extremist group Betar USA to court. Their campaign of harassment against her included cash bounties offered to anyone who would physically harm her, and repeated confrontations at demonstrations across the city.

Professor Guy McPherson- "Abrupt Climate Change" Part 1
April 3, 2026, 3:50 p.m.
Drastic consequences to life as we know it, here on Mother Earth are the topics of this, the first of a two part series on abrupt climate change. Once again we visit with Guy McPherson, a Professor Emeritus of Natural Resources, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Arizona.
McPherson discusses how global warming is affecting climate change. He explains the physics of what will occur when the polar ice cap has melted ending its ability to reflect the heat of the sun. Instead the heat of the sun will be absorbed by the world’s oceans. McPherson predicts that could well occur by 2022 or sooner, causing the temperature of the oceans to increase. McPherson argues that this temperature will result in the loss of the “planetary air-conditioner” and the loss of habitat for human species.
Professor Guy McPherson and I visited by phone while he was on a speaking tour, on August 12, 2018. We began our conversation when I asked his to describe the current state of climate change, now in 2018.
Professor Guy McPherson’s website is: https://guymcpherson.com/
Information about abrupt climate change may be found here, as explained by the President of Finland to the President of the United States: https://finlandtoday.fi/president-niinisto-in-north-russia-if-we-lose-the-arctic-we-lose-the-world/

Things a Racist Might Say / The 8 White Identities by Barnor Hesse
April 1, 2026, 9 p.m.
First Half:
In the first half of the episode, we comb through several statements typically made by folks who intend to distance themselves from racists but they end up sounding racist themselves. We examine the intention typically found behind these statements, but also how they can be perceived as problematic.
Second Half:
The second half of the show is dedicated to The 8 White Identities by Barnor Hesse—a supposition by the professor that segments different White identities based on their level of racist/anti-racist behavior. We give our thoughts on this insightful chart and share examples of how we see these behaviors played out in real life.

If you're still driving a combustion engine vehicle, you've probably noticed that within a matter of weeks the price of gas has increased by about a third, courtesy of the illegal war being waged on Iran by the US and Israel.

We discuss the impact the high prices have on the renewable energy industry, ponder how it could affect U.S. domestic oil producers, and examine how the Trump Administration's manipulation of markets has made oil a very risky commodity to trade.
