This week on Moving Forward, the Young Voices radio show, we hear from contributors Garrett Fulce, Agustina Vergara Cid, Lora Karch, and Simon Laird. Broadcast aired on Monday, August 11th, 2025.
The horrific Texas Hill Country floods in July have sparked calls for greater accountability on the part of the authorities who run the flood alert systems. Garrett W. Fulce says, if you want accountability, let flood victims sue the state of Texas.
Immigration is a hot button topic in America right now and it's easy to lose sight of how important legal immigration is. Augustina Vergara Cid shares her naturalization experience and why she chose to become an American.
American efforts to help secure long term stability in the Middle East are being hampered by the use of diplomacy as a guise for corrupt intentions. Lora Karch advises the U.S. to speak softly and carry a B-2 bomber.
Sports betting apps are prompting some to call for a ban on gambling apps. Simon Laird suggests that we don't ban sports betting but instead allow people to choose to opt out of it.
