Today's Headlines: The Department of Agriculture is dealing with a bedbug infestation in the offices of the agency responsible for containing invasive pests. Yes, you read that right. Todd Blanche confirmed to Congress — not under oath, refusing to put it in writing — that the DOJ is dropping the Traitor Fund, while clarifying that the part protecting Trump and his family from IRS audits remains in effect, which was clearly the point all along, and a federal judge revived Trump's IRS lawsuit to investigate whether the whole arrangement was "premised on deception." The Trump administration hired a convicted January 6th rioter — 19 when he stormed the Capitol — to work in the Defense Department's irregular warfare and counterterrorism section, one of the most sensitive portfolios in the government, and named Bill Pulte — a family friend with zero government experience whose father is in the Epstein files — as acting director of national intelligence, using "acting" specifically to skip Senate confirmation. New Jersey's attorney general sued GEO Group, the private contractor operating Delaney Hall detention center, over inhumane conditions and demanding health inspections — GEO holds a $1 billion ICE contract. The Kushner family is planning a $1.4 billion luxury hotel complex off the Albanian coast, which the prime minister loves and locals are actively protesting. And finally, Democratic congressman Jimmy Gomez — chairman of Congress's "Dad Caucus" — admitted to cheating on his wife after the New York Post outed him, he denied it, and CNN reported the House Ethics Committee is already investigating him for sexual misconduct, completing a full humiliation arc in under 48 hours.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmIt's a been a busy seven days, so we race through a bunch of topics, with a special focus on Graham Platner, the state of the Maine Senate race, and then some stake driving on how Democrats should prepare for the likelihood that they'll inherit the country back in economic and budgetary shambles.In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:* Would the Democratic Party be better off or worse off with two Democrats (Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer) at the top of the California ballot?* Is Donald Trump's spiraling presidency cause for schadenfreude, alarm, or both at once? * Is the latest Platner scandal worse than the previous ones? Part of the same story?Distinct in ways that might be more likely to put off older voters? And what should he do to get back into a commanding position?Then a look ahead to 2029 (but possibly sooner). Inflation and interest rates and deficits and debt are all high. When Democrats next regain power (if not sooner) they will face enormous pressure to cut deficits—and unlike in 2009, it'll be for a good reason. How should they present this to the public. What's a sound and moral way to retrench, particularly given the rapacious greed that ballooned deficits under Trump? And how should they frame their opening bids, so they don't get stuck in another lopsided austerity negotiation with Republicans?Answers are available in full to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Brian argues Democratic operatives planning for the post-Trump era need to go back to the drawing board.* Matt argues it's time to start freaking out about the national debt.* Josh Kovensky's précis on the Broadview Six fiasco. * A reminder that Colorado Dems still could and should oust Jared Polis.

Zach Lahn, Scott Pelley, Bill Pulte, and the California jungle primary headline today's A.M. Update. In a photo finish, businessman Zach Lahn defeats Trump-endorsed congressman Randy Feenstra in Iowa's Republican gubernatorial primary by less than a percentage point, and Aaron says the MAHA coalition was the deciding factor. California's jungle primary has Steve Hilton leading the Republican pack while Tom Steyer and Xavier Becerra close strong on the Democratic side, raising the possibility that two Democrats could end up in the general. Trump names FHFA director Bill Pulte as acting DNI to replace Tulsi Gabbard, a pick Aaron notes will have trouble clearing the Senate. Scott Pelley is fired at CBS after going nuclear on Bari Weiss in front of the entire 60 Minutes staff, calling her a murderer of the show, and Aaron sides with Weiss. The Supreme Court clears Alabama to use its redrawn congressional districts, Mehmet Oz announces $50 Medicare GLP-1 coverage starting July 1st, and Aaron closes with Indiana Governor Mike Braun's nuclear family month proclamation and a viral video of a corporate employee who submitted a biblical take on pride to his company's own open-call campaign, after which the entire program was quietly shut down.

Episode 996 of The Professional Left takes a hard look at the media circus surrounding the Maine Democratic Senate primary, asking who is actually stirring the pot, why they're stirring it, and who benefits when a private matter between a married couple drowns out every important conversation about the Republican incumbent's actual record. Driftglass and Blue Gal walk through a long and inglorious history of political sex scandals — from FDR to Gary Hart to Newt Gingrich — to put the whole thing in perspective and make the case that the bar for Democratic candidates is being set in a very different place than it is for Republicans. The New York Times, The Bulwark, and the usual cast of Both Sides Do It pundits all make 'but the Democrats' appearances, right on cue. And a deeply revealing New York F-ing Times piece about young men who get their political opinions from Joe Rogan and still somehow blame Both Sides equally turns out to be less a portrait of a generation in search of answers and more a masterclass in how conservative propaganda and legacy media complicity get permanently bonded together.Stay in Touch! Email: proleftpodcast@gmail.com Website: proleftpod.com Support via Patreon: patreon.com/proleftpod or Donate in the Venmo App @proleftpodMail: The Professional Left, PO Box 9133, Springfield, Illinois, 62791Support the show

Election night is the easy part. The hard part is what happens the morning after, when the New Mexico governor race stops being a primary and turns into a brutal contest of money, message, and momentum. We react in real time to a decisive Democratic result for Deb Haaland and a Republican surprise as Gregg Hull breaks through, then we get practical about what those outcomes signal for the general election.We walk through why Haaland's win wasn't close, what it reveals about ideological primaries, and why “moderate” positioning can collapse when the base holds the power. On the GOP side, we dig into how Hull built a path through the biggest vote centers, why late campaign adjustments matter, and what the spending imbalance did and didn't buy. From there, the conversation gets tactical: defining yourself early, building a statewide narrative, and preventing the race from becoming a national referendum centered on Donald Trump instead of New Mexico affordability, energy policy, and day-to-day competence.We also zoom out to key New Mexico congressional matchups, the effects of gerrymandering, and why CD2 could become a true national target. Then we compare big-city runoff math using Albuquerque's mayoral race and the early polling out of Los Angeles, plus a blunt conversation about candidate character and polarization sparked by the Maine Senate drama. The common thread is simple: strong candidates and disciplined campaigns still matter, but only if they raise enough money to be heard.Subscribe for our continuing election coverage, share this with a friend who argues politics for sport, and leave a review with the one factor you think will decide November.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

Donald Trump thinks JD Vance is a bit of a loser and he's worried he may not be presidential enough to be the 2028 Republican nominee, according to The New York Times. After a series of court losses, the White House signals that it's about to ditch its $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund." Trump is reportedly "getting very bored" with the Iran negotiations. Democratic voters head to the polls to decide a series of contentious primaries in California and Iowa. Then, Senator Andy Kim talks to Jon about the atrocious conditions at Newark's Delaney Hall Detention Center.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Hedonic Adaptation Clay Travis and Buck Sexton discuss the growing relevance of political prediction markets, which Clay argues are more accurate than traditional polling. He discusses his own active wagers on key races, including multiple U.S. Senate contests, House control, and long-term presidential projections, highlighting how real-money betting markets are shaping modern election analysis and offering insight into voter expectations. This reinforces a broader theme of the show: skepticism toward conventional polling and increasing reliance on data-driven political forecasting. The hosts also debate whether California’s political landscape has national significance, asking whether issues like crime, homelessness, and governance failures will resonate with voters outside the state. They contrast this with what they see as a more immediate concern for most Americans: gas prices, inflation, and overall cost of living. The discussion underscores a key political question—whether economic pressures or cultural issues will ultimately drive voter decisions in upcoming elections. Vote Steve Hilton! An extended interview with California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton, who outlines his campaign message and policy priorities. Hilton argues that California is ready for change, pointing to widespread dissatisfaction with taxes, crime, homelessness, regulatory burdens, and high cost of living. He emphasizes the importance of the state’s primary system, warning that without sufficient support, Republicans risk being excluded from the general election if two Democratic candidates advance. Hilton presents a platform focused on economic reform and practical solutions, including plans to lower gas prices, reduce regulation, increase opportunity, and address homelessness through enforcement and treatment-based approaches. He also highlights concerns about businesses leaving California and population decline, framing the state’s current trajectory as unsustainable without major policy changes. His campaign emphasizes “common sense” governance and outsider leadership, appealing to voters frustrated with long-term one-party control. The discussion also touches on the impact of endorsements from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, with Hilton arguing that alignment with federal leadership could accelerate reforms and help restore economic growth. The interview reinforces broader themes of anti-establishment sentiment, voter frustration, and the appeal of non-traditional candidates. Make Soccer Great Again An in-depth interview with Andrew Giuliani, who discusses the upcoming FIFA World Cup in the United States. This segment explores the economic impact, national security planning, and global significance of the tournament, emphasizing its expected $30 billion economic boost and massive international viewership. Giuliani outlines extensive security measures, infrastructure planning, and fan experience logistics, positioning the World Cup as a key moment for showcasing American exceptionalism and large-scale event execution. The discussion includes practical insights on ticket demand, pricing, stadium access, and travel expectations, making it highly relevant for sports fans and event attendees. Are You Excited About 250? An interview with Kelley Paul, author of two new children’s books Goodnight Young American and Goodnight Little American. Her books are designed to introduce young audiences to American history and patriotic themes, focusing on the Founding Fathers, the Revolutionary War, and the ideals of liberty and independence. Paul explains that the books were inspired by a desire to provide family-friendly, patriotic educational content for children, emphasizing storytelling that highlights American courage, freedom, and foundational values. She discusses concerns that modern media and children’s programming may lack this perspective, and positions her books as a way to encourage historical awareness, family engagement, and national pride. Paul also reflects on her personal experiences growing up during the bicentennial and contrasts that era’s widespread community celebrations and patriotic enthusiasm with what she perceives as a less unified national mood today. She emphasizes the importance of teaching younger generations about American history through accessible and engaging formats, including literature and family traditions such as visiting historical sites.

- Graham Platner's Maine campaign keeps unraveling as new scrutiny over Kik, his fake working-class image, and his mounting scandals turns him from Democratic hope into a national liability. - The show argues the Democratic farm team is getting even more radical, spotlighting a wave of socialist, Islamist, anti-police, and openly extreme candidates rising in New York, Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. - Spencer Pratt is cast as the rare anti-establishment threat in Los Angeles, with his mayoral run framed as a direct challenge to the corrupt machine that profits from homelessness, decay, and public failure. - The murder of Henry Nowak in England becomes the episode's most chilling example of institutional rot, with police, media, and politicians accused of ignoring an obvious injustice because the victim was white and the attacker fit the preferred narrative. - The broader theme is blunt: from America's 250th celebration to immigration, crime, and race politics, the left keeps revealing that it resents patriotism, protects the wrong people, and punishes anyone who threatens its grip on power.

We can no longer wait to be saved. It's time to step up and save ourselves because Democratic leadership isn't going to do it - if anything they need to be encouraged to pass the torch, because at the end of the day voters don't vote for policy or even party, they vote for candidates they believe in. We need to be electing those people to local and state office now, so we have them in the wings for federal office later. Run For Something's Amanda Litman reminds us not to give up hope.

Is California finally ready for a political shake-up? In this episode of The Truth with Lisa Boothe, Lisa sits down with California Republican Party Chair Corrin Rankin to discuss the growing momentum behind Republican candidates Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt, the state's political future, and whether voters are ready to reject decades of Democratic leadership. Rankin explains why Republicans believe California is more competitive than many political observers realize, outlines the party's election integrity efforts, and discusses how concerns over crime, homelessness, public safety, and quality of life are reshaping the political landscape. She also weighs in on Governor Gavin Newsom's declining approval ratings, voter dissatisfaction across the state, and what Republicans must do to win over independents and disillusioned Democrats. The conversation also explores the role of high-profile candidates like Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt, fundraising trends, voter turnout efforts, and the roadmap Republicans believe could make statewide victories possible in California.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rahm Emanuel has been one of the most influential figures in Democratic politics for decades. He's served as a congressman, White House chief of staff under President Obama, mayor of Chicago, and most recently, U.S. ambassador to Japan. Now, as Democrats grapple with what went wrong in 2024, Emanuel has emerged as one of the party's most prominent voices, making the case that Democrats need to rethink their priorities and reconnect with voters. Katie sits down with him to discuss the state of the country under President Trump, the upcoming midterms, how Democrats “lost the plot” (as his kids say), and what he thinks it will take to get his party back on track.

Today's Headlines: The Traitor Fund is effectively dead for now — the DOJ said it "disagrees strongly" but will abide by the court's ruling, which is the closest thing to a clean win we've gotten in a while. Trump's America 250 birthday celebration continues to implode, with a competing Power to the People Festival announced for October 3rd featuring Springsteen, Joan Baez, and Dave Matthews, while the UFC fight at the White House is still on but now requires attending service members to meet a waist-to-height ratio under .55, and the National Park Service is spending $5 million on a no-bid contract to gold-plate four bronze horse statues near the Lincoln Memorial, which is giving Saddam Hussein's living room. Trump reportedly told Netanyahu on a bad phone call that "you're fucking crazy, you'd be in prison if it weren't for me, everybody hates Israel because of this" — accurate — and Netanyahu pulled back on planned Beirut strikes, with Lebanon's parliament speaker saying Hezbollah is ready for a full ceasefire with Israel, though the US bombed Iranian drone sites yesterday and a cargo ship was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, so "ceasefire" continues to mean whatever anyone needs it to mean. Florida's attorney general sued OpenAI and Sam Altman for marketing ChatGPT without adequately warning of its dangers, citing its alleged role in mass shootings, suicide encouragement, and helping a murder suspect dispose of bodies — and Anthropic filed its IPO the same day at a $965 billion valuation, because timing is everything. And finally, a second man named Dan Sullivan entered the Alaska Senate race against incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan with no policies and no party affiliation, just a stated goal of unseating the other Dan Sullivan, which is either a Democratic ploy or the most chaotic campaign launch of the cycle.

Brian is joined by former Chief Counsel to the House Judiciary Committee Julian Epstein to break down the radical shifts happening within the modern political landscape. Epstein delivers a blistering critique of the academic and activist classes feeding today's Democratic politicians, explaining why an inability to understand wealth creation has led the left to push dangerous "deconstructionist" narratives. From the stunning hypocrisy surrounding Maine candidate Graham Platner's endless scandals to the left's shocking lack of moral clarity on Israel, Epstein explains why centrist and independent voters are executing a massive, permanent political realignment.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we begin with more fallout from Graham Platner's infamous Nazi tattoo, fueled now by his "sexting" scandal. Audio from MSNOW and NPR indicates Dems are beginning to realize the gravity of what this man truly represents to his party. Also President Trump's May 2025 executive orders have resulted in a productive year for nuclear power, audio from Senator Chris Murphy in 2024 on 'Face The Nation' lying about the impact of the Biden administration, and Democratic strategist James Carville and his co-host Al Hunt agreed last Thursday that Texas' Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico needs to walk back his past comments if he wants to win in the Lone Star State.

In a surprise move, the Trump administration announced that it was retreating from a $1.776 billion-dollar Anti-Weaponization Fund that would have been established as part of a settlement President Donald Trump made with the IRS over leaked tax returns. The fund was intended to compensate people who believe they had been unjustly targeted by the Biden administration's Justice department, including people involved in the Jan 6th attack on the capitol. The fund was already in legal limbo after one court put the fund on hold last week while a second re-opened the IRS case for further scrutiny. Meanwhile, pushback from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers had mushroomed. We spoke before this news broke with USA TODAY Justice Department Correspondent Aysha Bagchi about the dramatic legal and political headwinds the Trump administration was facing.

On this crucial California Primary election day, the race for Los Angeles Mayor is hitting a boiling point. Kennedy, host of the "Kennedy Saves the World" podcast, joins the Rundown to break down the surprising political rise of outsider candidate Spencer Pratt. Once written off by critics, Pratt has surged into a statistical tie with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass following his on-the-ground advocacy for victims of the devastating Palisades fire.Former First Lady Jill Biden's new memoir, "View from the East Wing," has reopened deep Democratic wounds by recounting her perspective on the 2024 debate night and the subsequent fallout regarding the former president's cognitive decline. Partner at Ballard Partners and former press secretary to Jill Biden and special assistant to the president Michael LaRosa, joins the podcast to discuss how the book's revelations damage her credibility and expose a long-standing pattern of stage-management and evasion by the Biden family.

I'm stepping away from the slit lamp this week to talk about a different kind of eye emergency. The ones happening on the front lines of protests across the country. I've been seeing way too many videos of people losing their vision to "non-lethal" force, so I invited Adam Rose, the Deputy Director of Advocacy for the Freedom of the Press Foundation, to help us navigate this. Adam has 20 years of journalism under his belt and spends his time making sure the people documenting history don't end up as patients in my clinic. Whether you're a journalist, a protester, or just a citizen with a smartphone, this episode is a crash course in exercising your First Amendment rights without losing an eyeball. Takeaways: Why a build-up of food gases in an old Thermos can pop a lid with enough force to cause a "ruptured globe" injury. The difference between a "Democratic physician-owned group" and a "Contract Management Group" staffing your local hospital.

No Jargon celebrates its 300th episode with a conversation about where American democracy and politics stand today, featuring the Scholar Strategy Network's new board chair, Mark Schmitt. Americans are increasingly frustrated with both the Democratic and Republican parties thanks to endless fundraising messages, political gridlock, and the sense that politicians don't represent the people. Schmitt makes the case that political parties are still a vital part of a healthy democracy and talks through the kinds of structural changes that could help rebuild trust and bring more people into the political process.

Once written off by critics, Pratt has surged into a statistical tie with incumbent Mayor Karen Bass following his on-the-ground advocacy for victims of the devastating Palisades fire.Former First Lady Jill Biden's new memoir, "View from the East Wing," has reopened deep Democratic wounds by recounting her perspective on the 2024 debate night and the subsequent fallout regarding the former president's cognitive decline. Partner at Ballard Partners and former press secretary to Jill Biden and special assistant to the president Michael LaRosa, joins the podcast to discuss how the book's revelations damage her credibility and expose a long-standing pattern of stage-management and evasion by the Biden family.

Anti-establishment candidate Graham Platner seemingly came out of nowhere to become the presumptive Democratic nominee for the Senate seat in Maine. But his campaign has been dogged by controversies. There were the old, deleted Reddit posts in which he made racist comments and blamed sexual assault on victims. There was a now-covered tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol. And most recently, the Wall Street Journal reported that Platner exchanged sexually explicit messages with multiple women early in his marriage.Taken together, they raise a big question. Does he have too much baggage to carry on? Or can his anti-establishment political message — that has generated SO much enthusiasm among the democratic base — carry him through?In this episode of NPR's Newsmakers, Platner addresses earlier controversies, the failures of his own party and calls Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth “insecure.” Platner says he aspires to a version of masculinity different from the one embodied by Hegseth. “This idea that you're supposed to use your strengths to use power over other people or to offend people, be mean to people — that somehow that's manly. That's not masculinity,” he says. “That's the act of a coward.”Platner sat down with host Leila Fadel before news broke of the explicit sexual messages.NPR's Newsmakers is where you'll find NPR's biggest interviews.

On Saturday, The Wall Street Journal published an exposé on the behavior of Graham Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee in the Maine Senate race. According to The Journal, Platner's wife, Amy Gertner, disclosed to his campaign last August that she had discovered sexually explicit texts between Platner and multiple women on his phone last spring. Furthermore, The Journal found that Platner has an active account on Kik, a private-messaging app often used to arrange sexual encounters. Also on Saturday, The New York Times revealed that Gertner had disclosed this information to a senior aide who later left the campaign, and Platner had been sending explicit messages to up to 12 women.

DESCRIPTION Donald Trump's endorsement of South Carolina gubernatorial candidate Pam Evette was supposed to be a game changer. Instead, it may have triggered one of the biggest political controversies of the campaign. Tara breaks down allegations of backroom deals, questions surrounding Henry McMaster Jr.'s potential role as lieutenant governor, growing frustration over redistricting battles, and reactions from gubernatorial candidates Alan Wilson and Rom Reddy. Plus, a stunning discussion about China, Iran, U.S. military security, and a bizarre political scandal involving a controversial Democratic candidate. PODCAST SUMMARY A weekend Trump endorsement has completely reshaped South Carolina's governor's race. The controversy centers on Trump's endorsement of Pam Evette and his statement that she would be running alongside Henry McMaster Jr. as lieutenant governor—a claim that directly contradicts months of public denials from Evette's campaign. Tara examines allegations that a political deal was struck involving Governor Henry McMaster, the failed redistricting effort, and Trump's endorsement. The discussion explores concerns about political dynasties, insider politics, and whether South Carolina voters are being asked to support candidates without full transparency. Attorney General Alan Wilson joins the program to discuss his campaign, outlining plans to eliminate the state income tax, reduce property taxes, lower utility costs, combat government waste, and increase government accountability. Wilson also addresses illegal immigration, law enforcement endorsements, digital ID concerns, and the state of the gubernatorial race. The show then shifts to international affairs, examining reports involving China, Iran, military threats to American forces, and concerns over ongoing negotiations with Tehran. Finally, Tara discusses a developing political scandal surrounding a controversial Democratic candidate and questions that emerged following reports about online activity linked to a notorious platform. TOP STORIES Trump's Endorsement Creates New Questions Trump endorses Pam Evette in the governor's race. Endorsement references Henry McMaster Jr. as future lieutenant governor. Raises questions after months of public denials. Critics allege a political deal involving redistricting and endorsements. Alan Wilson Makes His Case Calls for eliminating South Carolina's income tax. Promises lower property taxes and energy costs. Focuses on government modernization and accountability. Highlights strong support from Republican sheriffs statewide. Illegal Immigration Debate Intensifies Discussion of South Carolina's immigration enforcement efforts. Questions surrounding previous promises and implementation. Wilson outlines plans to expand cooperation with law enforcement. Digital ID Concerns Debate over digital driver's licenses and privacy protections. Concerns about government tracking and personal data security. Wilson pledges opposition to policies that threaten privacy rights. China, Iran, and National Security Allegations of Chinese military support for Iran. Concerns over weapons shipments and military technology. Debate over negotiations with Tehran and regional security. Political Scandal Emerges New controversy involving a Democratic candidate. Questions surrounding online activity and campaign damage control. Discussion of broader implications for the race. KEY TAKEAWAYS Trump's endorsement may have intensified rather than settled the governor's race. Questions remain about Pam Evette's choice for lieutenant governor. Alan Wilson continues positioning himself as a reform candidate focused on taxes, government efficiency, and public safety. Digital privacy and immigration remain major issues for South Carolina voters. Foreign policy concerns involving China and Iran continue to dominate national security discussions. Political scandals continue to shape the election landscape. QUOTE OF THE DAY "The office of governo ...

The Vermont Legislature adjourned for the session Friday evening after Democratic lawmakers and Gov. Phil Scott reached an agreement on education reform. Lawmakers also passed a budget bill and a yield bill to set tax rates, and Gov. Scott is expected to sign all three. To help us make sense of this sessions' hot topics are a trio of Vermont Public statehouse reporters: Peter Hirschfeld and Lola Duffort in Montpelier, and Report for America fellow Carly Berlin, who covers housing and infrastructure for Vermont Public and VTDigger.

On today's episode, we discuss a whirlwind of legal and political stories ranging from local elections to global power shifts, all filtered through the crew's characteristic mix of law, history, and sarcasm. They open with Tina Peters' possible commutation in Colorado and then dig into how vice presidential powers, Senate customs, and the “Garner precedent” could let the sitting VP wrest real procedural control from nominal leaders like John Thune. From there, the conversation ranges across 2028 primary polling (with “undecided” leading Democrats), Ken Paxton's Texas Senate run against a progressive pastor who says God is non‑binary, Florida's post‑DeSantis governor's race, and how NGOs and dark‑money networks allegedly reshape elections, from Colombia's surprise populist win to E. Jean Carroll's Trump lawsuit. The middle of the show hits culture‑war flashpoints—Oregon's proposed hunting and fishing ban, California NGOs handing out needles and fentanyl, a Democratic candidate with a Hitler tattoo, and Trump's idea to harden mail‑in voting by using his authority over the Postal Service to police envelope handling. In the final stretch, they contrast Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin struggles with Elon Musk's “Swiss‑Army‑knife” engineering approach at SpaceX and Starlink, argue that rocket science is the ultimate practical discipline, and close by inviting listeners to email the show with news topics, critiques, and conspiracies for future episodes. Don't miss it!

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 29, 2026. We open with a question millions of Americans have been asking for years: when does accountability finally arrive? As federal investigators expand major fraud cases involving government programs in Minnesota and beyond, we examine why so many voters believe there has been one standard of justice for ordinary citizens and another for politically connected insiders. From allegations of massive misuse of taxpayer funds to the broader erosion of trust in public institutions, we discuss why political embarrassment is not the same thing as accountability — and why many Americans believe real consequences matter more than press conferences and resignations. We also cover the indictment of an Iraqi-Iranian man accused of plotting terrorist attacks against Americans, including President Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her family, the historic decision by ExxonMobil to officially move its corporate domicile from New Jersey to Texas after more than a century, and the latest inflation numbers as gas prices continue to drive costs higher across the country. Later, we take a closer look at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass's claim that the city is safer than it has been since the 1950s, why many residents appear unconvinced, and how quality-of-life concerns are increasingly shaping local politics. We also explore California Democrats' continued push for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants and the larger debate over incentives, government spending, and immigration policy. In our Digging Deep segment, we break down new polling on the 2028 presidential race. On the Republican side, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio appear to be emerging as the early frontrunners. On the Democratic side, a fragmented field reveals uncertainty about the party's future, with no clear consensus candidate taking control of the race. The American Mamas join us to answer a listener question about jealousy — how to recognize it, how to avoid it, and why genuinely celebrating the success of others may be one of the most important character traits we can teach the next generation. Plus, we discuss why rocket failures are often signs of progress rather than defeat, revisit the lessons of American innovation and risk-taking, and wrap up with another edition of Fake News Friday featuring everything from George Floyd memorials to spelling bee champions, exploding rockets, and some headlines so outrageous they just might be true.
