They are mixed, and extremely consistent with pre-election polling. Naturally, Republicans are subjecting the country to a blizzard of lies. In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:* The results, and the merits of the California election system, which maximizes ballot access, but at the expense of quick ballot counting.* What should California Democrats, and the national party, do about the scourge of GOP election lies?* Would Democrats really have been better off if they'd managed to lock Steve Hilton out of the governor's race, like they locked Spencer Pratt out of the LA mayor's race?Then, how do you solve a problem like Graham Platner?

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.

California Democrats compete in the Retarded Idea Olympics with free dentures for the homeless and backyard BBQ bans. The DNC drops their pathetic 2024 autopsy — and learned nothing.

Steve Hilton tells PBD why Xavier Becerra could still be indicted over a $10,000‑a‑month campaign cash scheme, breaks down Katie Porter and Antonio Villaraigosa's attacks, and explains how a late‑breaking scandal could blow up California Democrats' 2026 governor plans.
California Democrats are advancing Assembly Bill 2624, the "Stop Nick Shirley Act," which seeks to criminalize the filming and online posting of information about taxpayer-funded immigration service workers. Critics, including Assemblymember Carl DeMaio, contend the legislation is designed to shield NGO corruption and intimidate journalists like Nick Shirley. Simultaneously, federal authorities in Minnesota charged 15 individuals in what is described as the largest autism fraud scheme in U.S. history, involving the theft of $90 million in taxpayer funds.

Spencer Pratt's viral AI ads are propelling him to the top of the LA mayor's race, and California Democrats are starting to panic. Susan Shelley joins the show to explain how two lawmakers are trying to crack down on his free speech. Plus, we break down Gavin Newsom's bloated $350 billion state budget, which the Legislative Analyst's Office warns could expose California to a financial disaster. We also examine why LA Mayor Karen Bass has spectacularly failed to deliver on her promise to “end street homelessness by 2026.” And with less than two weeks until the primary, Steve unpacks the latest developments in the governor's race, including Newsom's attempt to split the Republican vote with his ominous “break-the-glass” plan.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum is in for Jim on the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg break down an MSNOW host being horrified that House Speaker Mike Johnson would say our rights come from God and not government, the disgusting Luigi Mangione fangirls who celebrate his murder of a health insurance CEO, Iran's stalling tactics on a deal to end the war, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom's "break the glass" scenario in California politics.First, they shake their heads as MSNOW's Katy Tur is worried about officials on the right claiming that our rights come from God is usurping the Declaration of Independence. They laugh over the fact that is Johnson is precisely articulating the main point of the Declaration of Independence. But they weep at how ignorant so many Americans are about our founding and the state of civics education.Next, they shudder over the Luigi Mangione fans becoming "journalists" covering his case and then taking to the sidewalk outside the court to celebrate Mangione's murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and defending political violence as “heroic.” Inez explains how this and the reaction of many on the left to the murder of Charlie Kirk prove this is an acceptable perspective from way too many people on the left.Then, they react to President Trump once again agreeing to push back additional military action because Iran is supposedly more serious about reaching a peace deal. Inez and Greg discuss why stalling is in Iran's interest and what the impact is on the U.S. as well.Finally, as Gov. Newsom alludes to ways the Democrats can make sure the next governor of California is not a Republican, inez explains how the California Democrats operate and almost always get the results they want.Please visit our great sponsors:Better Help May is Mental Health Awareness Month- a reminder that whatever you're going through, you don't have to go through it alone.

California Democrats have advanced a controversial bill that critics label a “cover‑up,” arguing it could allow key details of the state’s troubled high‑speed rail project to be hidden from public view. The measure would give the project’s inspector general authority to withhold audit reports deemed risky to disclose, even as cost estimates have ballooned past $200 billion. Supporters say it protects sensitive information and improves oversight, while opponents warn it undermines transparency and accountability for taxpayers.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing serious questions after a meeting with President Trump regarding the Palisades fire recovery. Despite receiving over $5.7 billion in federal aid already, Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom are now asking for another $40 billion. The article from PJ Media highlights the slow progress in rebuilding, blaming California's impossible permitting process and red tape. We'll break down how this massive amount of taxpayer money has been managed and question where these new billions would actually go. Is this a genuine need for Los Angeles, or another example of California Democrats' fiscal incompetence and a grab for federal funds? We expose the numbers and the politics behind Karen Bass's latest plea for a bailout and what it means for the rest of the country.
In this week's Gaslit Nation Bonus Show, Daniella Mestyanek Young, The Knitting Cult Lady, author of the new book The Culting of America, explains how to get justice for survivors and protect children from Christian nationalist cults to Epstein's transnational crime network–better laws, better leaders, and ban home-schooling. "When countries outlaw homeschooling, it is one of the best protections that children can be given," she says. This week's bonus show also includes a look at serial predator Eric Swallwell, a rising star of the Democratic Party establishment, who has long been plagued by rumors. But despite that, he was the establishment's chosen one to lead the fourth largest economy in the world as California's governor, an important stepping stone to the White House. How can a predator protect us from Epstein's crime cult–which hasn't been brought to justice–or release the full files, as mandated by law? They can't. While the interview with The Knitting Cult Lady is available to all listeners, to hear the full episode be sure to subscribe at the Truth-teller tier ($5/month) or higher and support the show.

The Judge Jeanine Tunnel to Towers Foundation Sunday Morning Show
Welcome to the Joe Concha Show, where the host is at "war with woke" and pulling no punches. Broadcasting straight from a wildly expensive family vacation at Disney World, Joe delivers his signature blend of biting political commentary, sports talk, and classic comedy nostalgia. In this episode, Joe celebrates the New York Mets breaking their agonizing 12-game losing streak before diving deep into global and national politics. Expect fiery takedowns on the IRGC's desperate speedboat tactics in the Strait of Hormuz, the Democrats' hypocritical power-grab in Virginia's redistricting, and Chuck Schumer's sudden push to defund ICE. Joe also exposes the absurdity of $150 New Jersey Transit tickets for the World Cup and the hilarious mental gymnastics of California Democrats grading Gavin Newsom's homelessness crisis. Capped off with legendary, un-PC comedy clips from Walter Matthau and Norm Macdonald, this is the ultimate destination for straight talk and unapologetic laughs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Last week, California Democrats killed CalCare, a proposed single-payer health care bill. Will the state ever achieve its dream of universal health care? Tom Steyer — a gubernatorial candidate who ran ads against single-payer health care in 2020 — says he is now the Golden State's best bet. He also wants higher taxes for the rich, stronger environmental protections, and the abolition of ICE. The catch? He's a billionaire running a self-financed campaign. Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Tom Steyer, a former hedge fund manager turned philanthropist, to discuss the collapse of Rep. Eric Swalwell's (D-Calif.) campaign, whether billionaires are a policy failure, and the chaotic governor's race that has left Republicans leading in the polls.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 22, 2026. We open with a stunning report from the Manhattan Institute revealing that California Governor Gavin Newsom spent nearly $1 billion in taxpayer money importing 400,000 migrants from poor countries — not out of compassion, but to serve as customers of the state's welfare agencies and, eventually, loyal voters for the California Democrat machine. We connect the dots from Tammany Hall in the 1800s to today, explain why fighting ICE is simply about protecting your voter base, and ask the question California taxpayers should be asking — why are we broke and paying $2,500 per person to bring in people who can't afford to live here either? In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the head of the U.S. Navy has been fired — Secretary John Phelan removed immediately and replaced on an interim basis, with no reason given, in the middle of an active naval conflict in the Strait of Hormuz. Then Georgia Congressman David Scott passed away at age 80 after years of reported declining health — we reflect on his long career and offer condolences to his family. And Virginia voters narrowly approved the Democrat-drawn congressional map designed to flip the state's congressional delegation from a 6-5 split to a 10-1 Democrat advantage — passing 51.5% to 48.5% in a result that perfectly illustrates how imbalanced the new maps actually are. Republicans are continuing their legal challenges and a court has already moved to block certification. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a wild story — people in Poland who spend the Fourth of July LARPing as Americans, setting up fake trailer parks, wearing overalls and mullets, and staging mock police arrests to explore what they call the complexities of the American dream. We ask whether this is good-natured imitation or subtle mockery, why every single one of these Polish LARPers chose the fun backwoods version of America rather than the wealthy elite version, and what it says that Mississippi now has a higher GDP per capita than most of Europe — including possibly Poland. In our Digging Deep segment, we go line by line through the actual federal indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center — and it is worse than we initially reported. The SPLC paid more than $3 million to over 40 white nationalist leaders and organizers between 2014 and 2023, including $270,000 to one of the lead organizers of the Charlottesville Unite the Right march. The SPLC then raised over $800,000 in donations in the aftermath of that very march — a march their own paid source helped organize. They set up fictitious corporate entities to funnel the payments, opened fraudulent bank accounts, made false statements to financial institutions, and paid their informants to commit state and federal crimes including theft and breaking and entering. We explain why the bank fraud charges are the strongest part of the case, what the IRS is likely looking at next, and why the SPLC's response — blaming the Trump administration for targeting political opponents — conspicuously failed to deny the actual crimes. We also dig into the midterm landscape and Joy Reid's accidental case for Republicanism — she described the GOP as wanting no income tax, no regulations, earning what you want, and families inheriting everything. We ask why that sounds like freedom and why the Democrat Party has become openly opposed to it. We also get into Planned Parenthood's 40% increase in gender-affirming care revenue at regional clinics after Congress pulled federal abortion funding — and why an organization that told Congress abortions were only a small part of their business model is now refusing to disclose how much revenue they're generating from genital mutilation and sterilization. For our Bright Spot, it's Earth Day — which means it's time to go through every catastrophic prediction made at the very first Earth Day in 1970 that never came true. Civilization ending by 2000. 100 to 200 million people starving to death annually by 1980. Four billion people including 65 million Americans dying in the Great Die-Off between 1980 and 1989. We go through the list and celebrate the fact that every single excuse for creating Earth Day in the first place turned out to be complete nonsense. And we close with a rooster in Alabama that raised $5,300 for a family with a baby in the hospital — auctioned off over and over again by a livestock sale barn full of people who refused to stop giving. The baby is off the ventilator. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Gavin Newsom's office confirmed California is giving free taxpayer-funded breast implants and sex change surgeries to homeless illegal aliens through Medi-Cal — and doubled down, claiming migrants will "die in the streets" without them. Christopher Rufo and the Manhattan Institute exposed it, Jesse Watters broke it wide open, and now California Democrats want to jail the citizen journalists who uncovered the fraud. Nick Shirley faces a $10,000 fine or a year in prison for investigating fake daycares.

Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House and longtime leader of California Democrats, played a role in Eric Swalwell’s rise within the House Democratic caucus, including elevating him to junior leadership roles and selecting him for high‑profile assignments during her speakership. When allegations of sexual misconduct against Swalwell became public... Pelosi emphatically stated that she had no knowledge whatsoever. However, many aren't buying it.

Donald Trump gives Iran until 8pm Tuesday night to "Open the Fuckin' Strait" or he'll level all of the country's power plants and bridges. In the meantime, he spends an hour in the White House briefing room congratulating himself for the rescue of the downed American airmen — spilling a bunch of sensitive details in the process. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy react to Trump's latest performance, his request for huge budget increases for defense and White House renovations, the latest with the mass deportation campaign, and why Trump decided to do California Democrats a huge favor by endorsing in the governor's race. Then, Rep. Sarah McBride stops by the studio to talk with Lovett about how Democrats should approach the Iran war debate, and why her Republican colleagues are so addicted to going viral.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
