Watch on Afterburn Defense YouTube: https://youtu.be/F21BnqlbCowToday we discuss the Air Force naming its first Collaborative Combat Aircraft, the FQ-42A Vengeance from General Atomics and the FQ-44A Fury from Anduril, plus the plan for 1,000 drones by 2032.On 14 September 2026, Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink announced a target of roughly 1,000 autonomous combat aircraft by 2032: 500 Collaborative Combat Aircraft and 500 Massed Modular Aircraft. The F in FQ-42 and FQ-44 is deliberate. These are being designated as fighters, not surveillance drones.Vengeance has been delivered to Creech Air Force Base and has already flown in formation with the F-35 and the F-15E Strike Eagle. Fury fired an AIM-120 AMRAAM at a digital target in July with a human retaining oversight of the shot. Contract award to first flight ran about 18 months, a pace almost unheard of in defense acquisition. Have a story? Program and partnership inquiries: https://theafterburnpodcast.com/contact/

Send us Fan MailWeston Rolf, the mayor of Oak Grove, Minnesota, spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast about how the city recently won a "David versus Goliath" battle for election integrity to use paper voter rolls — instead of electronic ones — in the upcoming election in November."I'm not looking for convenience as mayor, I'm looking to build trust and integrity in our election process. And if that means we have to do more work in order to do that, I'm fine doing that,” Rolf said. Other cities and counties have reached out to Rolf about how they can also switch to paper voter rolls. Alpha News contacted the Secretary of State's Office and a representative stated that there is no "deadline for when a municipality may choose to switch from electronic rosters to paper rosters" but also "encouraged counties to connect with municipalities as soon as possible."Support the show

September 30, 2026After more than two decades, the deaths of countless Iraqi civilians and more than 4,500 US troops, the wounding of more than 30,000 US military personnel, and a cost of more than $2.8 trillion, the US has pulled out the last of its forces from Erbil Air Base in northern Iraq, A small contingent of advisors had remained after the US and Iraq agreed to a withdrawal plan in 2024, At that time, Iran seemed to be on the ropes, but Trump's war on Iran has strengthened the country's hand in the region, The invasion of Iraq in 2003 was based on the belief that Iraq's Saddam Hussein was destabilizing the Middle East, Although Saddam had not been involved in the 9/11 attack, officials from the George W Bush administration pushed the idea that the terrorists were affiliated with Iraq, The administration warned that Saddam Hussein was amassing weapons of mass destruction and when Secretary of State Colin Powell warned in a speech at the UN that Iraq had chemical WMDs and the resources to create nuclear weapons, people were convinced it was true. Later the evidence was discredited, but enough countries backed an invasion that in March 2003 American troops invaded with the intention of overthrowing the government, Saddam's forces crumbled and by May the US had set up a transitional government and Bush had declared “Mission Accomplished,” But it wasn't, Now the United States is entering the eighth month of a war on Iran that Trump apparently began with the same cowboy mentality as Bush carried into the war in Iraq, And Pete Hegseth is celebrating his transformation of the military and its “patriotic cowboys.” To read this letter, click here:Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyYou can also find Heather at:YouTubeBlueskyInstagramFacebookThreadsTikTok Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

Jon Herold and Burning Bright kick off with a genuinely funny bit about having to rename "artificial intelligence" to "super intelligence" following Trump's executive order, joking about domain squatting and whether OpenAI needs to rebrand itself entirely. From there it's into heavier territory, including lingering doubts about whether real accountability is coming for certain high profile figures, with the hosts bracing listeners for the possibility that the "rug" never actually gets pulled. Election security takes center stage in the back half, with a Secretary of War memo about protecting the 2026 midterms from foreign interference getting a full read through, plus a Todd Blanche clip and a broader conversation about what narratives are being deployed around elections this cycle. As always, there's a mix of serious policy digging and the two hosts riffing off each other, including a viewer submitted clip near the end.

Georgia election policy takes center stage as Scot Turner and Buzz Brockway tackle a packed week of Georgia politics. A federal judge has dismissed the Department of Justice lawsuit seeking an unredacted copy of Georgia's statewide voter registration list from Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Georgia Secretary of State Georgia officials are also investigating Democratic State House candidate David Dillie after voting records surfaced involving both Georgia and Nevada. Dillie denies casting the Nevada ballot. Georgia Recorder Then Scot breaks down the DVS-order problem, why researchers are concerned about protecting ballot anonymity, and the tradeoffs involved in the competing solutions being considered in Georgia. Scot and Buzz also discuss the State Election Board's authority following the Georgia Supreme Court's nondelegation ruling, the debate fight between Rick Jackson and Keisha Lance Bottoms, 11Alive's coverage of the governor's race, the 2020 protests in Atlanta, Georgia's new “I Voted” sticker and Brian Kemp's latest suspension of the state motor-fuel tax. Plus, somehow, the Atlanta Hawks and Iowa Hawkeyes become relevant to Georgia politics.

Matt Brown spent his career inside the national security world without ever wearing a uniform. He came up through grad school and think tank work in DC, earned a TS/SCI clearance, and landed in the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Policy working the counter-WMD mission. From there he moved to the State Department. In August 2023 he walked into a Senate committee, signed his real name, and became a whistleblower on UAP. His report on a program called Immaculate Constellation was later entered into the congressional record. Today he co-runs Vanguard Enterprise, a nonprofit built to support the people who came forward after him. This conversation covers what pushed him over the edge. He says he saw transcripts showing the director of the Pentagon's UAP office was not telling senators the truth. He explains how the counter-WMD mission gave him a legitimate reason to see collection on objects around nuclear assets, and what he saw on those systems, from small orbs going in and out of water to a large triangle and a boomerang that disappeared behind its own light.  We cover the reality of blowing the whistle inside the IC, the retaliation he describes, and the questions he thinks Congress should be asking now.  Today's Sponsors:  Toehold: https://www.shoptoehold.com Use code "Andy" for 15% off at checkout   Ethos:  Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos.

VR45 - Today on Vapid Response: 25 years after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, we look back on the Forrest Gump of monstrously bad legal takes: former DOJ lawyer and current UC Berkeley law professor (!) John Yoo. We go back to the primary sources to show how the Office of Legal Counsel explicitly authorized torture, indefinite detention in Guantanamo Bay, and warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens before giving Secretary of State Marco Rubio a chance to explain why the world should never hold the United States accountable for any of it. Cases and sources discussed: “Time to Think About Torture,” Jonathan Alter, Newsweek (11/4/2001) “Is There a Tortuous Road to Justice?” Alan M.

Former Congressman George Santos just blew the lid off Congress, exposing the uniparty's total disregard for the American people while systemic corruption continues to run unchecked. From explosive whistleblower revelations on the January 6th cover-up and questionable FBI actions to private corporations running state elections, Joe pulls back the curtain on a system designed to protect itself while ignoring the will of the citizens. Plus, is Secretary of War Hegseth's order to secure elections real action, or just more political theater?Colorado Parent Advocacy Network (CPAN) Executive Director Lori Gimelshteyn joins the show to discuss the battle for parental rights and school transparency. She breaks down the grassroots fight behind Protect Kids Colorado's ballot initiatives (133, 134, and 135), the challenges parents face against administrative overreach, and what must be done to restore true family authority and academic excellence in our education system.Finally, Joe exposes a government that prioritizes non-citizens and radical social engineering over hardworking Americans. From a volunteer firefighter turned down for paid service to progressive candidates pushing mass citizenship and suburban demographic shifts, the agenda is clear. We break down the lavish relocation perks for foreign nationals, the media's double standards, and President Trump's rapid-fire message to voters ahead of the midterms.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth doesn't want "fat" people in the military -- he's said so several times before. Today, he's expected to announce several changes to the military, including the elimination of 20% of admirals and generals. He's calling it the "State of the Force." Ahead of his remarks, Greg and Holly share their concerns about a push towards looks for military members and leaders instead of a push towards ability and skill.

It's time for playoff baseball, and we had Gov. Kelly Armstrong, a notorious baseball addict on par with us hosts of the Plain Talk podcast, on this episode to make some predictions about the path to the World Series. But before we talked about that stuff, we asked Armstrong about a lawsuit announced by former lawmaker Brandon Prichard and Citizens Alliance accusing several legislative candidates who are backed by Armstrong, along with Secretary of State Michael Howe, of some hanky-panky concerning ballot petitions. "I think it's complete garbage," Armstrong, who is not known for mincing words, said of the suit. "I think it is a group of people that can't win elections, so they don't want elections to determine who our elected representatives are." The suit claims that amendments made by the candidates to insert missing information were illegal and disqualify those candidates from the ballot. Conveniently, those candidates are running in districts where populist Republicans are in control of the local district party that would choose their replacements. "Elections determine who serves in North Dakota," Armstrong said, going on to allude to populist Republicans like Prichard wanting to close down primary elections so that only party insiders can choose the candidates on the ballot. "The only benefit to this is Prichard's trying to move out of the smoke-filled back room into the courtroom," Armstrong continued. "If you can't win an election, you don't get to kick it back to a group of nine people to decide who represents you. It's anti-democratic. It's about gaining raw political power with a small group of people." Armstrong also took questions about his support for Measure 1, which would implement a 60% vote threshold for future constitutional amendments. "I firmly believe it should be hard to change the Constitution," he said. "I think the Constitution should not be subject to the political whims of the day." He argued that North Dakota's constitution is too susceptible to special interests who want to mandate spending in the state's most important legal document. "Constitutionally mandated spending is a very big political consultant game all over the country," Armstrong said, "and North Dakota is a cheap date in order to advertise." When co-host Chad Oban brought up the fact that local school bonds already require 60% of the vote to pass, Armstrong said that's an argument for Measure 1, saying that it's currently easier to amend the state constitution than it is to pass a school bond. "It's harder to get school construction money passed than it is to change the North Dakota Constitution," he said. "I think that's misaligned priorities." He added that he would sign legislation to lower the vote threshold for school bonds if lawmakers sent it to him. Also on this episode, we discuss a nondisclosure agreement that was part of a settlement between Fargo-based Prairie St. John's hospital and the State of North Dakota. That agreement prohibited the state from announcing or releasing any information about the settlement. It's an interesting new facet of the debate over NDAs that has sprung up around data centers.

"The only benefit to this is Prichard's trying to move out of the smoke-filled back room into the courtroom," Armstrong continued. "If you can't win an election, you don't get to kick it back to a group of nine people to decide who represents you. It's anti-democratic. It's about gaining raw political power with a small group of people." Armstrong also took questions about his support for Measure 1, which would implement a 60% vote threshold for future constitutional amendments. "I firmly believe it should be hard to change the Constitution," he said. "I think the Constitution should not be subject to the political whims of the day." He argued that North Dakota's constitution is too susceptible to special interests who want to mandate spending in the state's most important legal document. "Constitutionally mandated spending is a very big political consultant game all over the country," Armstrong said, "and North Dakota is a cheap date in order to advertise." When co-host Chad Oban brought up the fact that local school bonds already require 60% of the vote to pass, Armstrong said that's an argument for Measure 1, saying that it's currently easier to amend the state constitution than it is to pass a school bond. "It's harder to get school construction money passed than it is to change the North Dakota Constitution," he said. "I think that's misaligned priorities." He added that he would sign legislation to lower the vote threshold for school bonds if lawmakers sent it to him. Also on this episode, we discuss a nondisclosure agreement that was part of a settlement between Fargo-based Prairie St. John's hospital and the State of North Dakota. That agreement prohibited the state from announcing or releasing any information about the settlement. It's an interesting new facet of the debate over NDAs that has sprung up around data centers.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 29, 2026. We open with the Supreme Court's ruling that lets the administration keep deporting illegal immigrants to third countries while the case works its way through the courts. We ask who holds the constitutional authority to decide whether a foreign national can stay in the United States, and we also dig into the inspector general's finding that roughly 40 percent of sampled Afghan asylum files had vetting and documentation errors under the Biden administration. In our Top 3 You Need to Know, former special counsel Jack Smith testifies before a Senate committee, and Senator Chuck Grassley calls his operation a partisan weapon. An illegal immigrant from Venezuela who was shot by ICE agents in Austin is now charged with assaulting an officer. President Trump announces America.gov, a free chatbot that searches 29,000 government websites. Then we turn to Governor Gavin Newsom and the No Kings Act, and to why we think the law won't survive a federal supremacy challenge. On American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson answer the question: how would you feel if your church publicized what you tithed each week? They talk about Matthew 6, the widow's penny, and why the heart of the giver matters more than the dollar amount. In Digging Deep, we look at the CDC's latest high school survey. It shows a drop in LGBT identification among younger teens, along with improvements in reported sadness, poor mental health, and suicidal thoughts. We ask whether the two trends are connected and what might have changed. We also cover a Capitol Hill hearing on the government's COVID response, where attorney Ralph Lorigio testifies about his court fights to get ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to hospitalized patients. We discuss why doctors and medical institutions followed CDC guidance. For our Bright Spot, we start with Speaker Mike Johnson and Governor Jeff Landry pushing back on fears about data centers. They compare the water use to golf courses and argue that the United States can't afford to let China win the AI infrastructure race. Then we get to the Protect College Sport Act, which passed the Senate 77 to 22 with sponsors from both parties. It would limit transfers, set rules for conference changes, and stop coaches from leaving mid-season, and we debate whether it's a job for the federal government. We close with a Moment of Whoa. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's plan would let first-time passport applicants do everything online by the end of 2027.

This is a two-parter in one episode! Part One was recorded in May, when Mike sat down with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to talk about her vision for American agriculture, the challenges facing farmers and ranchers, and the future of food production in America. Four months later, Mike needed to follow up after President Trump's proclamation calling for 300,000 metric tons of additional beef imports—a decision that was met with concern by many American ranchers. So, Part Two was recorded in September. Mike asks the Secretary to explain the decision, what it means for American ranchers, and what it means for consumers. Two conversations, recorded months apart, with a lot more in common than you might expect.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open with some election security talk, digging into a new memo from the Secretary of War and a wave of recent wins on the CISA and SAVE database front, before Jon reveals he's more excited than usual for tonight's main event. For the first time, the show tackles an actual proven conspiracy rather than a theory, walking through the bizarre and tragic real life case of a pizza delivery driver who became an unwitting bank robber with a bomb locked around his neck. Nicknamed the Collar Bomb, it's a story with an eccentric mastermind, a house full of secrets, an accomplice with a screenwriting past, and an ending that shocked the entire country when it happened. Expect true crime rather than tinfoil hats this week, though the guys promise it's just as unbelievable.

Recent litigation has resurfaced longstanding debates over the scope of First Amendment protections for members of the armed forces.

Voting Q&A Next Tuesday, early voting begins for the important midterm elections, including many high profile races in Ohio, from U.S. Senator and Congressional seats that could change the balance of power in Congress, to a history-making governor's race no matter who wins that role, plus every statewide office, from Attorney General to Secretary of State, and even two Ohio Supreme Court seats. That's all in addition to local races and issues like school levies. Monday, Oct. 5 is the deadline to register to vote. Have you checked your registration status? And do you have everything you need to vote this election? On Monday's "Sound of Ideas," hosted by Stephanie Haney, we've invited Jen Miller, head of the League of Women Voters of Ohio, on to answer your questions about voting access ahead of the Nov. 3 general election. Guest: - Jen Miller, Executive Director, League of Women Voters of Ohio U.S. Senate Race Candidate Interview The country is watching Ohio's U.S. Senate race closely this election year, as the November midterm election approaches. Vice President JD Vance left his Senate seat vacant, when he became second in command following President Donald Trump's win in 2024. Governor Mike DeWine appointed then-Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted to temporarily take over that spot, and this year, Ohioans will vote on who fills the remaining two years left on that term. Husted is running on the Republican ticket, hoping the retain the seat. On the Democratic side, Sherrod Brown is hoping to rejoin his former colleagues in the Senate, after losing his re-election bid to current Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno in 2024. Two others have joined the contest, Libertarian candidate Bill Redpath and Independent candidate Gregory Levy. Host Stephanie Haney spoke with Sherrod Brown recently in a one-on-one prerecorded interview, and we're sharing that conversation with you today. We had an interview scheduled with Husted for last Thursday, but his spokesperson told us he needed to reschedule due to Senate business, and we are still working to secure a new date for that conversation. We do have interviews scheduled with Redpath and Levy. We'll bring you each of these conversations in October. The questions we're asking these candidates came from research on the candidates, as well as conversations we had this summer with voters at libraries across Northeast Ohio as part of our Listen, Engage, Vote initiative. We also asked for input from our audience members on social media. Guest: -Sherrod Brown, Democratic Candidate & Former Ohio U.S. Senator These conversations are part of Ideastream's Listen, Engage, Vote initiative. This summer, our staff went to libraries across Northeast Ohio to hear what people cared about ahead of the midterms. We're using those conversations with voters to help inform our election coverage.
