Eric Burlison with a real idea to fix Obamacare, and Rep. August Pfluger of Texas explains what the RSC is all about. Plus, are Crisis Pregnancy Centers targets of New Jersey government?

Admiral Frank Bradley is set to be questioned by lawmakers on Capitol Hill this week about the military strikes on suspected cartel boats in the Caribbean, following reports that he was in charge of a September 2nd "double tap" strike—where allegedly two wounded men were killed after the initial strike.   The Trump administration has been ramping up pressure on Venezuela and President Nicolás Maduro, accusing the country of flooding America with drugs.   Congress has been at odds over how the Trump administration has handled Maduro. The majority of Republicans are backing the President, while Democrats allege that the Commander-in-Chief is steering the U.S. toward a foreign war.   House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the escalating conflict with Venezuela, as well as the Pentagon watchdog report on 'Signalgate' and his bill that he says will help honor the sacrifice of American troops.

More than 80 people have now been killed by U.S. strikes on suspected drug boats.There are growing questions about an order to kill two of those people — whether it amounts to a war crime.Here's what we know: on September 2, the U.S. carried out two strikes on a boat in the Caribbean. The second, subsequent strike killed two remaining survivors.Details of that second strike were first reported by The Washington Post last week.Today, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth “authorized” Admiral Frank Bradley to conduct both strikes, and that Admiral Bradley issued the order and, quote — “worked well within his authority and the law.” But on Capitol Hill, both the Senate and House Armed Services Committees are asking for a full accounting. For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

Investigative reporters Taya Graham and Stephen Janis go to Capitol Hill to speak with Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, who co-sponsored the Epstein Transparency Act. Many of the women who survived Epstein's abuse and human trafficking ring share their experiences and their determination to receive justice. Now that the bill has passed both Houses, the Department of Justice is obligated to share with the public thousands of previously secret documents, emails, and photos. Although many critics are concerned that redactions will make these documents ineffectual in exposing the predators and predator protectors, there is still hope that these women will finally be able to reveal the corruption that has survived multiple presidential administrations. We discuss four reasons why the Epstein files may be the beginning of the end for the unchecked power of these elites, or "Epstein class." With Congress compelling the DOJ to reveal Epstein's secret files, the protective wall around America's most powerful men is finally beginning to crumble. This moment could be the first genuine challenge to the impunity enjoyed by the country's wealthiest predators.Credits:Produced by Stephen Janis and Taya GrahamWritten by Stephen JanisPost-Production by Stephen Janis Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Between the pardoned turkeys and those running loose on Capitol Hill, controversy over insubordination and sedition seem to be on the menu this holiday. The six Democrats who posted a video addressed to service members sowed chaos and confusion about the proper chain of command and lawful military orders. It is crucial to understand the constitutional framework that distinguish lawful military action, legislative and executive powers, crime, and war. In today's politics, rhetoric can make it difficult to discern the line between war and crime. John Yoo reminds us that not everything that harms society constitutes a war or justifies the use of military tools. That being said, where is the line drawn, and who draws it? And what is the proper role for members of Congress?John Yoo is a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley, and a Senior Research Fellow at the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin. Professor Yoo has served in all three branches of government. He was an official in the U.S. Department of Justice, where he worked on national security and terrorism issues after the 9/11 attacks. He served as general counsel of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. He has been a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and federal appeals Judge Laurence Silberman. Professor Yoo has published almost 100 scholarly articles on subjects including national security, constitutional law, international law, and the Supreme Court. Professor Yoo's latest book is The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Supreme Court. Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

Six democrats on Capitol Hill are now under federal investigation over their video urging service members to reject illegal orders. The lawmakers say President Trump is "using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass members of Congress." The administration is acutely focused on Senator Mark Kelly, a decorated and retired Navy captain. The Pentagon has threatened to demote him, dock his pension, and even prosecute him.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

How can students weave their language skills into their college experience—whether through study abroad, tutoring, campus jobs, or other opportunities that let them practice and even get paid for it? What are some of the long-term benefits of being bilingual or multilingual—not just for a student's academic journey, but also for their personal growth and future career opportunities? MEET OUR GUEST Rachèle DeMeo was born in Nîmes, in the south of France, and raised in a multicultural family with American, British, and Italian roots. Growing up bilingual, she developed a deep love for languages and cultures, which set the stage for her lifelong mission: helping others discover the power of languages. After earning her French Baccalaureate in languages, philosophy, and literature, she moved to the United States, where she completed a B.A. in Christian Education, taught French in various institutions, and even worked on Capitol Hill. She later moved to California to teach French at the middle school, high school, and college levels, and went on to earn two Master's degrees and a Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership. With more than 20 years of teaching experience, Rachèle has taught everyone from young children to college students and professionals, both in-person and online. She is the founder and president of FLAM San Diego, a nonprofit school that provides French language and culture programs for children across the U.S., and the founder of Belle Terre Academy, which offers online language courses. She is also an author of six (published) books, an educational speaker who trains teachers worldwide, and a YouTuber with a growing community of over 18,000 subscribers. Beyond education, Rachèle is passionate about humanitarian work, having supported refugee and orphan projects around the world. She's also a musician, a lover of travel, and a fan of extreme sports like surfing and snowboarding. Today, she and her husband are raising their two children bilingually, continuing the family tradition of celebrating languages as a bridge between cultures.

It's been a whirlwind few days in Washington, and if you've been following the court trials involving Donald Trump, you know the intensity hasn't let up one bit. Let me jump right into the heart of it, because November 2025 has unfolded with major courtroom drama that's kept the political world riveted.Just weeks ago, Donald Trump's legal teams found themselves before the Supreme Court. The docket for case 25-250, now consolidated with another major suit, set arguments for the first week of November—exactly when crowds gathered outside the Supreme Court building and the eyes of the nation shifted to DC. The consolidated cases stemmed from decisions by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and involved Trump as petitioner, with V.O.S. Selections, Inc., and several states as respondents. For the federal government, arguments were delivered by D. John Sauer, the Solicitor General, while Neal K. Katyal spoke for the private parties and Benjamin N. Gutman for the state parties.These cases focused on conflicts arising from Trump administration executive orders and the use of federal authority. One hotly debated issue centered on the attempted federalization of the Oregon National Guard, a move contested on grounds of state law and constitutional authority. Lawfare's coverage pointed out the complexity: Judge Cobb's earlier opinion clarified federal authority but stopped short of granting the mission powers Trump's administration sought. As for the emergency motions, everything hinged on the pending Supreme Court decision involving Illinois v. Trump, keeping parts of these cases temporarily on hold.More controversy erupted just days before arguments, when a coalition of nonprofits and municipal governments sued the Trump administration for suspending Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for November 2025. As Lawfare reported, the litigation tracker was practically overflowing—with over two hundred seventy cases still awaiting rulings, legal challenges to Trump's executive actions flooded the judiciary.The tension ratcheted up further when, according to Politico, President Trump called for several Democratic lawmakers to be arrested and tried for “seditious behavior” after they released a video urging public protest. These remarks shocked Capitol Hill and fueled even fiercer political divisions while legal experts debated whether such accusations had any real standing under federal sedition laws.Just Security's own litigation tracker highlighted yet another legal wrinkle: a new policy from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, barring law firms from representing clients in active litigation against Trump administration policies. The American Bar Association responded swiftly with a federal suit, calling the policy a clear violation of legal norms and a blow to independent counsel rights.And, in an unexpected development, a federal court permanently blocked Trump's executive order to dismantle a federal agency for America's libraries, as the American Library Association announced last Friday. That ruling capped the week's legal rollercoaster and drew praise from advocates for public services.So, listeners, the court trials involving Donald Trump haven't just been about one issue—they've covered everything from the scope of federal authority to separation of powers, sedition, and executive overreach. Each ruling and every new filing continues to shape the legal landscape and will have lasting impacts on governance and American democratic norms.Thank you for tuning in.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 21, 2025. 0:30 We break down the remarkable shift in tone from New York City’s mayor-elect, Zoran Mamdani—the same man who once railed against ICE as a “rogue” and “fascist” agency, vowed to resist deportations, and gave that fiery, chest-thumping election-night speech aimed squarely at Donald Trump. But when Mamdani stepped into the Oval Office, all that bravado evaporated. Instead of the angry revolutionary from election night, he appeared quiet, almost timid. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. For the first time, members of the domestic terrorist organization ANTIFA have been convicted on terrorism charges. Congressman Eric Swalwell announced he's running for Governor of California. The Democratic National Committee took out $15 million in loans last month in a push to get more Democrats elected to office. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We dive into the latest Capitol Hill spectacle featuring Representative Jasmine Crockett—who, according to the hosts, came out swinging but ended up hitting her own team in the face. Crockett boldly attempted to expose what she claimed was a Republican “double standard” on ties to Jeffrey Epstein, rattling off names from Mitt Romney to George Bush. There’s just one tiny problem: Crockett’s list wasn’t tied to that Jeffrey Epstein. Her staff had pulled donations from a completely different man with the same name—a New York physician, not the infamous convicted sex offender. 16:00 American Mamas—Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson—tackle a listener question that hits close to home: Can someone actually develop a sense of humor, or is it one of those things you’re either born with or you’re not? They talk about growing up in a home where wit, timing, and thick skin were the daily curriculum. The Mamas break down the difference between natural comedic instinct and the kind of humor that feels forced or lands sideways. Good comedy, they say, comes from intelligence, self-awareness, and a lot of practice. People who never learned how to kid around often end up sounding mean instead of funny, because they never figured out where the line is—or how not to cross it. For the Mamas, humor is a muscle: start young, poke fun, take a joke, laugh at yourself, and raise kids who can do the same. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 22:30 We dive into the shocking story out of Chicago—a woman set on fire on a train by a man with 49 prior arrests. And while the city is reeling, Mayor Brandon Johnson insists it’s just an “isolated incident.” We break down why this is anything but isolated, how repeat offenders are cycling through the system again and again, and what happens when politicians downplay the very real danger everyday Americans face on buses, trains, and city streets. This is a conversation about public safety, accountability, and a justice system that’s failing the people it’s supposed to protect. 26:00 We Dig Deep into President Trump’s newly unveiled 28-point peace plan for Ukraine—a proposal that’s already sending shockwaves through Kyiv, Moscow, and across Europe. Zelensky is warning Ukrainians that they now face a “very difficult choice,” while Putin is calling the plan a “starting point.” We get into what the proposal actually calls for: territorial compromises, security guarantees, restrictions on NATO expansion, frozen Russian assets being used to rebuild Ukraine, and even a fast-tracked Ukrainian election. We dig into the tough reality on the ground, why the West’s patience is wearing thin, and whether this plan is realism, capitulation, or the only path to ending a grinding war that Ukraine is slowly losing. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dive into a rare moment that has the accountability crowd perking up: the case of Pras Michel—the Grammy-winning member of the Fugees—who’s now staring down 14 years in federal prison for funneling foreign money into Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign. Yep, the same crowd that lectures America about “protecting democracy” was raking in tens of millions from overseas, and the media once called that campaign the “gold standard of ethics.” We break down what Pras did, why this scandal is bigger than the headlines admit, and how it exposes years of Democrat projection on election interference. If you’ve ever wondered whether anyone in Washington ever faces consequences, this is one story you’ll want to hear. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? This week’s lineup has everything: Democrats refusing to denounce socialism, a member of Congress texting a convicted pedophile during a hearing, a child molester running for mayor, and even a federal judge blocking efforts to clean Washington, D.C. buildings. We’ve also got fake impeachments, fake hate crimes, and—believe it or not—raccoons that scientists say are actually getting cuter. Strap in, because we’re sorting the real news from the really fake news, and the results are… well, let’s just say the truth is stranger than fiction. Can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 40:00 Let’s talk about the attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, because the official line from the FBI is that Thomas Crooks was a lone gunman. Case closed, move along. But a lot of people aren’t buying that. While Washington is telling everyone, “Nothing to see here,” the public is looking at this thing thinking… "Whoa."

In February 2023, less than four months after leaving the FBI, former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker was on Capitol Hill, addressing a panel investigating the weaponization of the federal government. She emphasized that she wasn't there to show favor to any political party but to stand for the truth based on her experience, hoping to make an impact in strengthening the agency. Her new book continues that mission. In The Two FBIs: The Bravery and Betrayal I Saw in My Time at the Bureau, the Fox News contributor details her journey, beginning with a finance career right next to the Twin Towers in New York City during the 9/11 attacks, and then her path to the FBI. She recounts a challenging and exemplary 12-year career spent mainly on violent crime with the FBI in Miami, including mass shootings. Nicole Parker recently joined FOX News Rundown host Lisa Brady to discuss her concerns about parts of the FBI, what she witnessed within the Bureau's culture, and why restoring trust, focus, and accountability is critical to the Bureau's future. She also discussed what changed under former Director James Comey and why she left, including the contrast between how some Capitol riot suspects were handled and the takedown of a suspected child predator that ended up costing her friend's life.

VeracitySelfcare.com for up to 50% off First up, a deep-dive with guest ­- Candace Owens ­- unpacking her explosive conspiracy claims around the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. Candace argues there's far more beneath the surface: she questions the official narrative, highlights odd travel-path overlaps and mysterious meetings with foreign-linked planes, and suggests some insiders believe Kirk may have been manipulated from within. = We'll give you the full scope: what she's alleging, why critics say she's being pranked (or worse), and what Candace herself says in response to being called out.  Then we'll shift gears to Capitol Hill, where several congressmen and women are publicly responding to Donald Trump's recent threats — yes, threats — aimed at lawmakers who dared tell service members they can refuse unlawful orders. The outrage is real, the stakes are high, and we've got the latest from those on the receiving end.  Finally, we turn to New York City: Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect, is heading to Washington, D.C. for a face-to-face with Trump today. The showdown has been in the making for months — ideological sparring, funding threats, and now a scheduled sit-down. We'll break down what's expected, what each side wants, and why it matters for the country. And as always: politics, power plays and what it all means for the rest of us. Tune in.

Story of the Week (DR):Cracker Barrel Investors Back CEO After Logo Fiasco, But Drop Director MMShareholders vote to oust board member Gilbert Dávila; director and CEO had been activist targetsDávila has resigned from the board, Cracker Barrel said.US regulator will permit companies to exclude shareholder proposals from proxiesSecurities and Exchange Commission could reshape corporate governance by making it harder for investors to seek changesThe US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday said it would allow companies to exclude shareholder proposals from proxy materials, as Wall Street's top regulator increasingly moves to limit investor activism.Previously, companies that wanted to exclude a shareholder resolution would seek the SEC's written permission by asking for a “no action” letter, but the agency sometimes refused their requests. Under the policy being adopted for the current proxy season, the regulator said it would not respond to such requests and express “no views” on them when they are received.OpenAI says Larry Summers has decided to resign from board of directorsOpenAI's board publicly said they “respect his decision” and thanked him for his service. The resignation comes after the release of emails between Summers and Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. House Oversight Committee. Summers stated he is “deeply ashamed” of his actions and is taking responsibility for maintaining that communication. Summers said he is stepping back from all his public commitments to “rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me.” He's also going on leave from Harvard, where he had been teaching. Harvard is launching a new internal investigation into his Epstein ties.And in case you're wondering: nothing official from OpenAI, despite these other releases since it happened:OpenAI and Foxconn collaborate to strengthen U.S. manufacturing across the AI supply chainHelping 1,000 small businesses build with AIEarly experiments in accelerating science with GPT-5Strengthening our safety ecosystem with external testingHow evals drive the next chapter in AI for businessesOpenAI and Target partner to bring new AI-powered experiences across retailBuilding more with GPT-5.1-Codex-MaxGPT-5.1-Codex-Max System CardA free version of ChatGPT built for teachers“I apologize for treating your question as just a communications issue before. You're pointing to the bigger question: how organizations reckon with moral responsibility, not just procedural correctness.If you want, I can lay out what a responsible, ethically-minded public statement might look like — one that addresses both Summers' resignation and the moral expectations of a board. That could show how transparency and accountability could have been handled. Do you want me to do that?”Jeff Bezos Creates A.I.

Cities across Washington are wary to use the Flock camera system thanks to left-wing activists. Residents of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood are worried about the rise in crime. Guest: Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R-WA) on today’s vote to release the Epstein files. // Big Local: Staff members at a Tacoma elementary school all just happened to call in sick on the same day and some parents don’t think they should face consequences. Washington State Patrol have issued an Amber alert for two young girls in Grays Harbor County. A Monroe father that allegedly kidnapped his kids and threatened to kill them compared himself to Travis Decker. // You Pick the Topic: Trump proposed a way to improve McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish.

Katie sits down with Congresswoman Sarah McBride, the first openly trans person in Congress, for a wide-ranging conversation about her tumultuous first year on Capitol Hill. They talk about the chaos of Trump’s second term, the potential release of the Epstein files, and the role trans rights played in the last Presidential election. McBride also opens up about hope, the future of the Democratic party, and why hard conversations are essential to maintaining our democracy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we recorded this episode, the Senate agreed to unanimous consent, sending the House passed legislation to release all of the Epstein files to President Trump’s desk for signature. Trump has already said he will sign the bill into law, as we saw Epstein victims rally on Capitol Hill today to urge lawmakers for full transparency. Amy and T.J. discuss the one lawmaker who voted against the bill - a congressman from Louisiana - and the Harvard professor who has expressed being “ashamed” at his level of friendship with Epstein in the latest round of emails released to the public.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Government Shutdown Ending The shutdown lasted 44 days, making it the longest in U.S. history. The House is voting on an appropriations package and continuing resolution after the Senate passed it. President expected to sign the bill immediately, reopening the government. Impact on Federal Employees Thousands of federal workers (Capitol Hill staff, TSA agents, air traffic controllers, custodians, etc.) missed paychecks. Stress among young employees with little savings. Discussion on delays in restoring normal operations, especially air travel. Air Travel & Safety TSA and air traffic controllers calling in sick caused flight delays and cancellations. Praise for Transportation Secretary and Trump administration for prioritizing safety. Proposal for bonuses and legislative changes to ensure essential workers are paid during future shutdowns. Political Dynamics Democrats seek “maximum pain” during shutdowns for leverage. Mention of internal Democratic conflict—“civil war”—after eight Democratic senators voted to reopen the government. Calls for leadership changes (e.g., Chuck Schumer under fire). References to Washington Post coverage of Democrats adopting “ruthless tactics.” Future Outlook Warning of another potential shutdown on January 30 when the continuing resolution expires. Concerns about Obamacare subsidies and rising healthcare premiums. Broader critique of Democratic policies and party direction. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
