President Trump’s recent overt actions targeting political enemies are unlike anything seen from prior administrations, but some believe they resemble moves by autocratic leaders elsewhere, including Hungary and Venezuela. We talk to the dean of the Jacksonville University law school about the political and legal implications for Trump’s declared enemies — and everyone else.
Guests:
- Nick Allard, founding dean of the Jacksonville University College of Law.
Then, adolescent suicide risks, from firearms and alcohol to AI and cyberbullying ... we look at what local programs are in place to help and what more change is needed. After World Suicide Prevention Day on Sept. 10, local advocates assess the progress of the Zero Suicide Jax initiative, which aims to coordinate with statewide programs to reduce suicide and promote mental well-being.
Guests:
- Jasmine Flowers, survivor and peer recovery specialist.
- Nick Padlo, CEO at Sophros Recovery.
- Dr. Christine Cauffield, CEO at LSF Health Systems.
And, after 42 years in the news biz, the co-creator of First Coast Connect (and former longtime TV photojournalist) is hanging up his green eyeshade. We sit down with FCC Executive Producer David Luckin for an exit interview as he shifts to a full-time focus on his other projects with WJCT Public Media, including promotions, programming, film and, of course, his beloved Saturday night show Electro Lounge.
Guest:
- David Luckin, WJCT station manager, Electro Lounge Host, executive producer of First Coast Connect.
