Starting Lineup: KG unleashed what you may have missed

If you follow women's hockey, you know this rivalry well. The United States women's Olympic hockey team and the Canada women's Olympic hockey team have defined Olympic gold medal games for nearly three decades. Since 1998, they've met in the Olympic finals seven out of eight times. The U.S. has taken gold twice. They're trying for a third gold Thursday afternoon. And Minnesota fans have plenty of reasons to watch. Six players representing the U.S. also play for the Minnesota Frost. Frost General Manager Melissa Caruso is watching her players compete on the sport's biggest stage — and she joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about the game.

Six members of the Skating Club of Boston died in a January 2025 plane crash. One year later, families and friends gathered to watch as fellow club skaters took to the ice at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.

Are politics, practice schedules, and score sheets quietly tearing your cheer gym apart? Between competition travel, added weekend practices, social media opinions, and the pressure of chasing bids, all-star cheer has become more intense than ever. Parents are asking hard questions. Coaches are balancing expectations. And athletes are caught in the middle. If you've ever wondered: Are we practicing too much… or not enough? Should parents really understand the score sheet? Can political opinions impact a team environment? What actually separates winning teams from everyone else? This episode tackles the real conversations happening in gym lobbies right now, the ones no one wants to say out loud. In this episode, you'll learn: How competition scheduling decisions impact families and team culture What “drivers” actually mean on the score sheet and how they affect wins and losses Why understanding too much about judging might ruin the joy of watching your athlete compete Plus, Jason breaks down execution drivers, difficulty strategy, and why sometimes ignorance really is bliss for cheer parents. If you want to understand what's really happening behind the scores, and enjoy the sport more in the process, press play now and get the inside perspective only coaches usually hear.

In todays "Crazy Crime of Passion" a Cheer Mom's custody battle takes a turn for the worse. Plus Dana tells us how she got hacked, plays "Who's Lying" with a listener and tells us all about a humungous diaper fire. 

In Nevada, police say a Utah mother shot her young daughter inside a Las Vegas hotel room before killing herself during a trip for a cheer competition. A young woman is murdered and dismembered in North Dakota, but searchers have yet to find her remains. A woman searching for her missing dog learns the pet was beheaded after a viral Instagram post, sparking outrage and a SWAT standoff in northwest Atlanta. Drew Nelson reports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 17, 2026. 0:30 We dig into anti-ICE activists who’ve taken their protest tactics into America’s checkout lines. Instead of lobbying Congress, demonstrators are swarming Target stores in Minnesota and beyond—buying bags of salt only to immediately return them—in an effort to jam registers, disrupt workers, and economically punish a private business. It's performative outrage aimed at minimum-wage employees, not policy change. From immigration enforcement to law and order, corporate disruption, and the real-world consequences for local jobs, harassing cashiers won’t change federal law—or stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement from doing its job. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Capital Police arrested a man today as he was running towards the Capital Building wearing a tactical vest and gloves and carrying a shotgun. Former Democrat Presidential Candidate Jesse Jackson passed away this week at the age of 84. A man who claimed to be a woman shot and killed two people at a high school ice hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We break down the selective reporting by The New York Times following a fatal ice hockey rink shooting in Rhode Island. The Times carefully sidestepped the suspect’s transgender identity—despite reporting a birth name change—while routinely highlighting other details, like firearms, when they fit a preferred narrative. With another recent fatal shooting involving a transgender suspect in British Columbia, we have to ask why certain facts are deemed “irrelevant” only when they’re politically inconvenient. The message is simple and sharp: report the facts, all of them, without fear or favor. 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson : Have you noticed how much stuff the Left says is "toxic" is actually just normal life? The Mamas push back on how the left labels everyday behavior as “toxic”—from toxic masculinity to churchgoing, parenting, and even harmless relationship moments. They share real-life examples of social media outrage, including a viral Ring camera clip that sparked cries of “dump him” over a roly-poly bug, and online harassment aimed at public figures connected to Cheer. The conversation turns serious as the mamas argue that anonymous online attacks, political name-calling, and cultural shaming are the real toxicity—while common sense, family values, and disagreeing respectfully are just normal life. 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. 23:00 A New York–based Muslim activist suggested that pet dogs—especially indoor dogs—don’t belong in an “Islamic” vision of New York City, following the election of Mayor Zoran Mamdani. Rep. Randy Fine says Americans would choose their dogs over appeasing religious demands—prompting outrage and calls for his resignation. This isn’t Islamophobia but a free-speech question about criticizing religious beliefs, cultural pressure, and whether everyday Americans should ever be asked to give up “man’s best friend” to satisfy ideology. Who’s really barking up the wrong tree? 26:30 We Dig Deep into a new 2028 presidential race poll that shows just how early—and how awkward—the next election cycle already is. On the Democratic side, Kamala Harris leads the field, while Gavin Newsom trails far behind despite acting like a full-time candidate, from foreign speeches to social-media theatrics. Progressive darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez barely registers, raising questions about substance versus slogans inside the Democratic Party. On the Republican side, the poll underscores the continued dominance of MAGA politics, with J.D. Vance leading the pack and the Trump legacy still shaping the field. The contrast is stark: Democrats running on “vibes,” Republicans running on records—and the numbers show voters can tell the difference. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Why does J.D. Vance continue to resonate with so many voters? He says what a lot of Americans are already thinking. Reacting to Olympic skier Eileen Gu, who was born in the United States but chose to compete for China, Vance draws a clear but measured line between freedom of choice and patriotism. He’s not calling for punishment or government action—just honesty about who he roots for and why. We dig into national loyalty, gratitude for opportunity, and what it means to represent a country on the world stage. It’s a plainspoken, values-driven take that contrasts sharply with identity politics—and highlights why Vance may appeal to Americans who want firmness without bitterness, and patriotism without apology. 35:30 While the media fixates on ICE protests and sanctuary city politics, let's highlight a major development flying under the radar: law enforcement cooperation with immigration authorities is surging nationwide. Despite claims that Americans oppose deportations, the numbers tell a very different story. More agencies have agreed to fully cooperate with ICE. We break down why this matters: enhanced immigration enforcement, stronger law and order, safer communities, and real incentives for local departments to participate. As reported by The Daily Wire, this quiet shift may be the most significant immigration story of the year—and one that suggests the public mood is far different from the headlines. 40:30 This is what happens when leftist climate policy meets real-world conditions—comfortable ideology colliding with physics, infrastructure, and winter. In the home state of Bernie Sanders, Green Mountain Transit proudly embraced battery-powered buses during the Obama and Biden years. Then temperatures dropped. Charging systems failed below 41 degrees, heaters drained batteries by half, and a battery recall followed after buses reportedly caught fire. 41:30 And we finish off today's episode with some words of wisdom about the Lent season.

Banter ends at 15:25 Cheer up, it's Lent! Lent is a time of penance and fasting, but that doesn't mean you have to be miserable. Instead, it's a time to master ourselves and to draw near to the ultimate source of happiness: Jesus Christ.  On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at how NOT to approach Lent, and consider ways that can help us grow closer to Christ in His passion, cross, and resurrection.

In Nevada, police say a Utah mother shot her young daughter inside a Las Vegas hotel room before killing herself during a trip for a cheer competition. In New York, investigators now believe a Brooklyn mother of four’s dismembered remains found in a trash compactor were the result of a tragic accident rather than a killing. In Maryland, a former police chief will spend the rest of his life in prison after prosecutors say he spent nearly a decade setting revenge fires against people he believed wronged him. Drew Nelson reports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Utah mom & her tween daughter are found dead, after being a no show at a cheer competition while visiting Vegas. Officials are calling it a murder-suicide. A Florida mom is charged in the shocking death of her son; the bone-thin boy was found in a bag, tossed like trash in a river. Plus, a mom who tatted her tots, finds her freedom cuffed. Jennifer Gould reports. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happened next surprised him.In this episode, the guys talk about rivalry, fandom, and what it revealed about something much deeper: how Christians should engage in a divided age. From sports to politics to hot-button cultural issues, it's easy to dehumanize the “other side” from behind a screen.

In this conversation recorded at the 2025 Capital Irish Film Festival, host Martin Nutty sits down with two trailblazing Irish filmmakers who are pushing boundaries in their respective genres.Aislinn Clarke discusses her groundbreaking Irish-language horror film Fréwaka, exploring how her childhood love of horror (she saw The Exorcist at seven!) and her father's commitment to preserving the Irish language converged into a unique cinematic vision. Clarke reveals the gift of discovering the perfect location for the film in Ravensdale Forest, and why horror fans have always embraced foreign language films. With international distribution through IFC Shutter and more projects in development, Clarke is proving that Irish-language cinema can compete on the global stage.Tanya Doyle takes us behind the scenes of her five-year documentary odyssey Eat, Sleep, Cheer, and Repeat, which follows Ireland's cheerleading team to the World Championships in Florida. What began as a search for a film about women in sport became an intimate portrait of athleticism, identity, and belonging. Doyle shares the moment she knew cheerleading was the story—watching a young competitor vomit from sheer physical exertion—and defends the sport against anyone who questions its legitimacy. With 160 hours of footage to wrangle and characters lost to COVID shutdowns, the film became a testament to resilience both on and off screen.Both filmmakers discuss the challenges of funding independent cinema in Ireland, the intimacy of the editing process, and the importance of creating spaces where diverse stories can flourish. Whether you're interested in horror, documentary filmmaking, Irish language revival, or women in sport, this episode offers rich insights into the craft and passion of contemporary Irish cinema.LinksFilmsPreview: Eat, Sleep, Cheer, and RepeatPreview: FréwakaAislinn ClarkeIMDBInstagramTanya DoyleIMDBLinkedInGriffith CollegeSolas NuaCapital Irish Film FestivalIrish Stew LinksWebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 7; Total Episode Count: 148

Zoi Sadowski-Synnott's friends cheer her on from home, as she competes at the Winter Olympics. Friend and fellow snowboarder, Sian Leigh spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means "son of Timaeus"), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" 48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" 49 Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you." 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. 51 "What do you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see." 52 "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Kristen dives into something we don't talk about nearly enough: hormones. She breaks down the four phases of a woman's menstrual cycle and how each one can impact energy, mood, focus, and performance — both on and off the mat. This episode is all about awareness over judgment, and learning to work with our bodies instead of being frustrated by them. Kristen encourages athletes (and moms) to extend a little more grace, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and find simple ways to support physical and emotional well-being throughout the month.

Hosts Nino, Christoph, and Dr. Mikey run through a fast-paced news roundup covering a Department of Education investigation into a transgender student on a co-ed cheer squad, a violent homophobic assault on a New York subway rider, and a federal court restoring funding to the American Academy of Pediatrics. The conversation moves between analysis and personal reflection on transphobia, homophobia, community accountability, and representation, including a feel-good story about a hockey player coming out and a local church keeping its rainbow steps. The episode balances hard news and hopeful wins while emphasizing solidarity, the need for community action, and the real impacts of policy and prejudice on LGBTQ+ lives.

Are poor eating habits and low motivation holding your cheerleader back—while you watch helplessly from the sidelines? If you're a parent of a competitive cheerleader between 13–15 years old, you're likely juggling the emotional tightrope of encouraging performance while protecting your child's mental and physical health. In this episode, Jason and Gina dive deep into real struggles families face, from nutrition avoidance and gym resistance to the pressure of body image and discipline. You'll hear personal stories, laugh-out-loud moments, and candid advice that every cheer parent needs to hear, without the sugarcoating. Learn how resistance training can enhance performance for all athletes: flyers, bases, and tumblers alike. Discover the real difference between “dieting” and fueling your body like an athlete (especially for teen girls). Get practical language swaps and strategies that help motivate without creating body image issues. Press play now to learn how to help your cheerleader thrive in body, mind, and performance—without the guilt or confusion.

The AFC and NFC championships are here! And Football AmericaI! is here to provide a deep dive on each game. Can Jarrett Stidham rally the Denver Broncos past the evil New England Patriots? (Actually, are they still evil? And would it be a better Super Bowl if they win?) Will the 12th Man in Seattle and a stout defense be enough for the Seahawks against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams? (What about Soup's beloved Sam Darnold? Will he be at an MVP level on the biggest stage of his career so far?) We brought the best mind of NFL predictions, Nick Kostos, on to discuss the ins and outs of an entertaining weekend of football. So sit back as National Champion Dave Dameshek and The Super Fuentes Brothers guide your dreams, harness your desires, and maybe make you some cash on this episode of Football America!

Megyn Kelly begins the show by discussing an illegal migrant attacking an ICE officer last night in Minneapolis, Democratic politicians seemingly urging more violence, the corporate media spinning the anti-ICE narrative, and more. Then Adam Carolla, host of "The Adam Carolla Show," joins to discuss leftists continuing to fight ICE and make a mess of Minneapolis, the narcissism and loneliness of the left, anti-ICE social media videos from unattractive women, what's behind the sad and bizarre phenomenon, whether the perception of ICE could hurt the GOP in midterms, misinformation from the corporate media, and more. Then Tish Hyman, artist and activist, joins to talk about why she's running for mayor of Los Angeles, her disturbing encounters with multiple men in women's locker rooms, the violent history of one of the men she encountered, why she decided to speak out on the issue of men in women's spaces, the ridiculous California laws that allow this, the reason she has made it a mission to confront Democratic politicians on this issue, and more. Carolla- https://adamcarolla.com/tour-dates/Hyman- https://listen2tish.org/ Grand Canyon University: https://GCU.edu/MYOFFERSimpliSafe: Visit https://simplisafe.com/MEGYN to claim 50% off any new system!Birch Gold: Text MK to 989898 and get your free info kit on goldMelania: Step inside the 20 days before history is made—watch MELANIA, only in theaters January 30; get your tickets now!  Follow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at:https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
