Us-un Report

What a year that was!  US World Report  begins by going back 20 years in Donald Trump's timeline. He was dating Melania back then and had his eyes on the prize. No not her... but becoming President of the United States in 2016. Well, here we are two years later and it's time to reflect on all that has taken place. This is no ordinary romp down memory lane, but a critical assessment of the last 365 days. Join Tom Osborne and his news team for a collection of moments many of us won't soon forget and it's all here for you to digest. Our first annual presentation of the Year In Review.  Syndication of our program begins January 1, 2019. We invite you to continue this radio journey with us and thank you for your dedicated listenership. Also, continue to look for us on iTunes, Facebook, Youtube and Twitter as we grow our audience one listener at a time. It's the best in news talk radio without any spin!

US World Report - presents ‘Miracle on 70thStreet’   Meet Lou Stallman & his son Jerry Potente, one of the last surviving Tin Pan Alley songwriting teams in NYC. With a catalogue of nearly 500 songs and still growing, Lou has had a prolific career. Most recently, one of his songs is topping the charts again. “Round and Round” written in 1956 with his partner at that time Joe Shapiro for recording artist Perry Como. It’s now a 2018 megahit, thanks to a TARGET Department Stores holiday marketing campaign.  Unknown to Lou, the Australian artist Sia recorded and released her version of ‘Round and Round’, this past November on a Christmas CD. Target has used the track in their Thanksgiving and Christmas television ads nation-wide. Now, Jennifer Hudson has sung her version of the song on 'The Voice', just about 10 days ago. NBC and Target collaborated on this effort with a spectacular children’s choral group all dressed in Holiday Red and Gold. ‘This Rags to Riches’ story has been a blessing for Lou and Jerry a

It’s Mueller Time!  With credible fears that he may be compromised by Russia, President Trump’s alibies and allies dwindle to a very few. His words of denial are mocked throughout the world.  A feckless, inept and silent Republican Congress ignores one of the first casualties of this presidency, the Rule of Law.  America and its allies are demanding to know how much more time does Mueller need to bring down the hammer of justice on a presidency now out of control? In this moment of peril confronting the United States of America. Join the US World Report news team as they attempt to bring this debilitating confusion into focus. We invite you aboard the Truth Train in segment four of our show with Tom Osborne, Dr. David Kanervo and Ken McCaleb. It’s both funny and informative journalism at its best with our collected response to fake news! You’ll finally hear more about Robert Mueller and his investigative probe on this week’s program than anywhere else in radio. Mary Saliba throws her stinging one/two punch in

Caravan or March To Freedom Why are people traveling as a caravan from Central America to the U.S.? Will they finally find security or be turned away? Has runaway corruption, droughts and floods linked to climate change been a driving factor? Are the odds of American tradition stacked against them? Listen to the voices of those who have tried and failed and listen to the voices of those who were successful but now wish to go back home. It’s the story of an intolerable situation driven by domestic violence and its effect on men, women and children. The lack of economic opportunity to find jobs is also a significant player in this equation. Finally, we ask the question… Can Trump legally cut aid off to Central America? Join US World Report’s Tom Osborne, Dr. David Kanervo, Mary Saliba and Ken McCaleb as they reveal what’s really happened to this group of exhausted refugees seeking asylum.

It all started out fairly innocently enough way back in college, or did it? Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg are now under fire for not patrolling the trolls that are attacking their online social media platform. Since 2012 Facebook began to slip from public opinion’s grace and now the company is in real trouble. They’ve been accused of promoting hate speech, influencing elections, even allowing the marketing of child brides. Hearings in Washington, DC have suggested they have become the new insatiable Little Shop of Horror who’s starring plant moans, “Feed Me!” Perhaps historically Facebook will be remembered as the grand daddy who gave birth to fake news. Join Tom Osborne and his radio team as they discuss Russia who now seems determined to distance itself from the platform it so successfully manipulated. We think this is one of the most informative and objective shows you’ll ever hear on this (in your face) topic.  Are they innocent or guilty? That’s for you to decide! (Airdate) 12/01/18.

America first puts America last. It’s the world’s breadbasket.  The isolation of the United States is taking our country back to a place that never existed. A twilight zone created by our current commander in chief. Two years of his rhetoric have steadily eroded our institutions ofDemocracy. This includes those abroad that follow our lead and aspirations. When you aspire to the lowest common denominator… you will find it! Join Tom Osborne and his staff as they explore a new day in America where responsibilities are met and challenges are dealt with. Hear the voices of farmers, steel workers and former Democrats who put their trust, loyalty and livelihood in the hands of Donald Trumpand now wonder why. US World Report reveals the back story!

The United States Of Anger-The New Face Of Nationalism Post Mid-Term elections the staff of US World Report unravels the Orwellian threats to society today. We’re being asked to compare apples to oranges, rocks to rifles, objectifying or electrifying. Where in all of this is our country’s soul? What are we teaching our children about free speech and what it means to be an American? How can we put America first and still remain leader of the free world? Why are we such angry people? The stock market is up and unemployment is down. Yet, no one has any sense of civility now that fear is more powerful than hope. Will the new Congress come to our rescue? Join Tom Osborne, Dr. David Kanervo, Mary Saliba and Ken McCaleb in one of their most provocative radio programs of 2018.

As the U.S. Midterm Campaign 2018 draws to a close,  US World Report takes a deep dive into the world of Entitlements.  What is the long-term health of our health care system? Learn about the relationship of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the heavy burden of student loans you are carrying; not to mention Pre-Existing Conditions.  You’re either all-in or your all-out; if you don’t vote-- all of these so-called Entitlements will most likely disappear into the so-called balanced U.S. budget.  There, they will suffer a thousand cuts--death by amendments.  Don’t even ask about Medicaid.  How can we pay for it?  How long will it last?  Not long, if you don’t vote to change this path, you will be threatening your own retirement, your health care, and that of your children. Vote this Tuesday Nov. 6thand change your country’s direction and its priorities—all this is in your hands if you’re 18 or older.

US World Report tracks the alarming increase in mental illness in America. Drug dependence and addiction, alcoholism, depression and suicide know no bounds. Impacting nearly every family and millions of our youth, 1 in 5 adults in the U.S.—43.8 million suffer from some form of mental illness. Mental illness strikes our overcrowded cities, stretching into the suburban sprawl to the heart of America, and the loneliness of a rural farm family in the Midwest. Many times hidden by crime statistics, highway deaths, or suicide, no one is immune to this silent mania. One in five of our kids suffer from a diagnosable mental, emotional or behavioral disorder with no access to professional help. Join us in this discussion as US World Report lifts the shroud and stigma that remains hidden behind crime statistics, highway deaths, broken homes, school shootings, and political extremists. Solutions abound, but clearly there are no easy answers to this crisis.  Listen to authorities we bring to the discussion who give us a s

This week US World Report visits China, a land where big brother is watching everything; where your life and your career can be predetermined as the Economist put it, by a “digital totalitarian state.  Almost a half century ago, it was Richard Nixon, of all our president’s, who broke the mold when he traveled to China and took the world and the United States with him. What has changed because of that visit?  Is the so called middle kingdom friend or foe?  Join us as we probe this question, and just exactly what kind of relationship we want with a country of 1.3 billion people organized by the state? Is the price of our economic relationship a threat to our freedom in the long run? Is it wise or even possible to hold our fire and find common ground?    

In 2020 it is estimated that Earth will be home to 9 Billion people. Can our planet sustain that large a population? Is there enough food and water to go around? What about jobs and housing? Before we go over this abyss shouldn’t we as a species be examining our birth rates to attain zero growth? Where are the 17 most densely populated places on our globe today? US WORLD REPORT asks these questions and more. Join Tom Osborne, Dr. David Kanervo, Mary Saliba and Ken McCaleb for this week’s radio show installment. In their latest one-hour broadcast we hear about 1200 citizens of an island in the Caribbean that live without plumbing or fresh water. The tiny space they occupy without cars, motorcycles or even police will amaze you. This program is a wake up call for human beings everywhere!

Seasonal Affect Disorder-How R U Feeling? Does depression sometimes sneak up on you and suddenly you feel sad, especially during seasonal changes? Seasonal Affect Disorder or SAD usually strikes an individual right around fall season each year. When daylight is at a minimum and nights seem longer because we’re in the dark longer. As the temperature outside drops and we prepare for winter something happens to many of us. Lethargy sets in and we don’t want to jump out of bed quite so quickly. Like bears we tend to hibernate inside our homes. Add some snow to this equation and watch out! Doom and gloom may come knocking at your door. The tendency is to turn to comfort food and put on a few pounds. But is this form of depression real or imagined? It could be the onset of bi-polar disorder, but only your doctor will know for sure. That’s why it’s important to prepare for the onset of winter by monitoring our diets, getting some cardio exercise and finding a source of intense bright light to cheer us up. Join Tom O

It’s Time To Vote!” There is still some time left to register for the mid-term election and the radio news team explores how your vote really does count! So, who wants to push back? The clock is ticking down to November and there is a lot at stake. You’ll hear from Michele Obama as she tries to inspire young people to get out the vote. One election in our country has been won by a single ballot (Alaskan Congressional Race) in 2008. In all, voting is a constitutional right and privilege that Americans have. It’s best to make use of that right instead of squandering it and disregarding what our Founders stood for. With the internet you can register online (www.vote.org) and check if you are currently registered to cast your ballot this November 6, 2018. Why are the Canadians so interested in this mid-term election? What does Russia and Presidents Putin and Trump have at stake? It’s all here with your favorite radio news team of Tom Osborne, Dr. David Kanervo, Mary Saliba and Ken McCaleb. You might consider shar

What do U.S. Presidents Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton have in common? Impeachment has confronted each of them and transformed their individual political legacies. The US World Report radio news team asks, is “Impeachment-Political Folly or Serious Business?”  It’s a discussion that’s all over the media these days.  President Trump’s administration is trying to soothe the minds of Americans as they battle with his excessive use of tweets, executive orders and sometimes bully pulpit tactics. But is it only the Democrats who now rally the cry for his removal from office by means of the 25thamendment? Join Tom Osborne, Dr. David Kanervo, Mary Saliba and Ken McCaleb as they openly discuss the history and challenges of these two concepts and what it means to the future of our country’s constitution. This program's first broadcast was aired on WLEA1480am radio on September 22, 2018. at 6PM EST.

Coming to America was always a dream of immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees, but not now… Lady Liberty stands in New York harbor and shouts “No More”. US WORLD REPORT tells the story of lives that are threatened each day. Freedom and human rights have taken a back seat to America’s fears. Those most in need of our protection can no longer count on it. This scheduled broadcast on September 15, 2018 is an accurate portrayal of the hardship families face upon arriving in the United States. It’s also a blue print for those who are planning to escape their homelands. The answer is… beware!  But what about Canada’s immigration law’s, are they more lenient. Join Tom Osborne, Dr. David Kanervo, Mary Saliba and Ken McCaleb for some of the answers to these vital questions. Airdate 09/15/18

Propaganda has been around since the dawn of man. During WWII, films were used by both the Germans and Americans to motivate the war interests. But sometimes propaganda can be very subtle and work on your impulse to buy $800.00 sneakers. Is it fair for Democrats to label Kellyanne Conway as a propaganda minister? So, US WORLD REPORT decided this topic needed a deeper exploration. Join Tom Osborne, Mary Saliba, Dr. David Kanervo and Ken McCaleb as they uncover, "Profiles In Propaganda-Masters of Manipulation". Then you can ask yourself the question, "How much of this do I need or believe?" Original Airdate: September 8, 2018 on WLEA 1480am radio.

Is it possible to age gracefully? The US WORLD REPORT news team explores this question in depth. What's the secret... good genes, nutrition, vitamins or maybe plastic surgery? Perhaps it's none of these modalities. Join Tom Osborne, Dr. David Kanervo, Mary Saliba and Ken McCaleb with this entertaining yet serious adventure into the human timeline. You'll hear from Christie Brinkley and Bill Gates who approach this topic from differing angles.  They too are asking the question, "What's the endgame and how do we avoid dementia?"

Kofi Annan was the 7thSecretary General of the United Nations. He suddenly passed away at the age of 80 on August 18, 2018. His journey as a diplomat was a life full of triumphs and tragedies.  Annan received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001. He was the first UN staff member to rise up through the general ranks to its top executive position. Rwanda and Bosnia Herzegovina dominated his peacekeeping efforts, which turned into genocide during his tenure. Kofi served two terms as Secretary General where he promised the United States to reform the world body. He reached out to people on all levels of society to become good will ambassadors for the UN. He’s been compared to Dag Hammarskjold one of the earlier unparalleled leaders of the United Nations.  Join Tom Osborne and his news team Dr. David Kanervo, Mary Saliba and Ken McCaleb for this special biographical presentation.  The original premiere broadcast was on WLEA1480am radio on August 25, 2018 at 6pm EST and is now available worldwide on iTunes and through the

Bottled tap water by Nestle, a Swiss company is being sold back to local residents world-wide. First it started in Pakistan, now it's in America's heartland. Their campaign of misleading information has us buying into this 17 billion dollar industry. Water in Syria is now a weapon of war as children scramble to quench their thirst. But is this life saving commodity something worth dying for? Fracking in California is now the new gold rush but it's been known to cause earthquakes in Oklahoma. Is the lust for oil independence worth polluting our ground water supplies? Just ask any farmer to answer that question. Join Tom Osborne, Dr. David Kanervo, Mary Saliba & Ken McCaleb on this week's installment of US WORLD REPORT. It's news talk radio minus the spin!

President Trump said NATO was obsolete, then he changed his mind...why? US WORLD REPORT follows this story with his eventual conversion to embrace the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Formed in 1949 to defend Europe against the perceived threat of Soviet aggression. We examine some of the questions that are still lingering unanswered, like should Russia join NATO? What does it cost member nations? Where does ISIS fit in the equation? Tom Osborne, Dr. David Kanervo, Mary Saliba and Ken McCaleb, as usual go for the back story! Does America first thinking get in the way? You'll have to decide...
