On this episode of Breaking Battlegrounds, Sam Stone and Chuck Warren dive into the biggest legal, education, and border security stories shaping America today. First, Ilya Shapiro of the Manhattan Institute joins the show to break down the Supreme Court's major 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Calais and what it means for race-based redistricting, judicial independence, and the future of constitutional law. The conversation also explores Justice Clarence Thomas's influence on the Court, upcoming landmark cases involving birthright citizenship and presidential powers, and why public confidence in America's institutions continues to decline.

Corey explains why even Democrat governors are beginning to embrace school choice programs, examines the ongoing failures of the Chicago Teachers Union, and argues why parents are increasingly rejecting the traditional public school system in favor of alternatives that put students first. Corey A. DeAngelis X: https://x.com/deangeliscorey?lang=it Later, retired Pinal County Sheriff and Arizona Congressional candidate Mark Lamb joins the podcast to discuss the realities of border security from firsthand experience on the front lines. Lamb shares stories about cartel activity, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and the enormous strain illegal immigration has placed on local law enforcement. He also outlines his campaign priorities for Congress, including border security, election integrity, constitutional rights, and restoring accountability in Washington.

The illusion of a "secure election" has finally crumbled, replaced by the chilling reality of a coordinated "Partner Update" between CISA, Big Tech, and partisan gatekeepers. While the mainstream media peddled a narrative of unassailable integrity, a shadow cabal was working in real-time to ensure the outcome was never left to the American people. We dive deep into the unmasked election day machinery, featuring the explosive insights of Sheriff Bianco on why law enforcement is being systemically blocked from investigating fraud. From the infiltration of our government to the "fortress of lies" built to protect selected leaders, we expose the design behind the chaos, a bipartisan betrayal intended to keep the American public divided and ignored.Patrick is calling out the evil around every corner, focusing on the calculated indoctrination of the next generation. From the Chicago Teachers Union labeling political opponents as "fascists" in kindergarten curricula to Randi Weingarten's disturbing WEF directives on "teaching children how to think," the war for the American mind is being fought in the classroom. We wrap by exposing the pure contempt of the Uniparty from Senator John Cornyn's quiet push for amnesty to the secret cabals in NYC wasting taxpayer billions behind closed doors. They aren't just ignoring you; they are mocking you. It's time to speak the truths that the establishment is too afraid to even write down.

The discussion covered a range of current events and social issues, beginning with the recent legal developments surrounding a synagogue fire in Jackson, Mississippi, and the ongoing Epstein investigation. Brian expressed concerns about the implications of high-profile individuals potentially evading consequences for their actions. The conversation also touched on personal experiences with rising power bills in Virginia and the increasing preference for trade schools over traditional college education, highlighting the need for practical skills in the workforce. A tragic incident involving an 11-year-old autistic boy who died after being punished in a makeshift prison by teachers was a focal point of the conversation. Brian expressed outrage over the negligence displayed by the educators involved and criticized the Chicago Teachers Union for a notable error in an advertisement. The discussion expanded to include broader themes such as taxation and tourism in Massachusetts, reflecting on systemic issues within the education system.

In the early morning hours of January 3rd, U.S. military, in an impressively covert operation, captured Venezuela's self-declared president Nicolas Maduro, and his wife and spirited them away to face narco-terrorism charges in a New York courtroom. In the immediate aftermath, Venezuelans cheered in the streets, celebrating the demise of Maduro's Marxist regime, one that had decimated their economy and led to huge numbers of Venezuelans fleeing the country since 2013. Leftist groups in the U.S., such as the ANSWER Coalition, The People's Forum, Code Pink, and the Chicago Teachers Union, also organized quickly, gathering crowds for protests in prominent American cities, leaving observers wondering just how they were able to mobilize so fast. Here to discuss what happened on Jan 3, what the future looks like now for Venezuela and her relationship with the U.S., and to answer questions about the organizations behind the protests, is our friend Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow for national security and foreign policy at the Heritage Foundation.Mike GonzalezHow the Smithsonian lost its way Trump's reforms are essentialTrump Announces U.S. Military's Capture of MaduroANSWER CoalitionCode Pink (CODEPINK)The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)The People's Forum
BrownTown shares space with Sadie Soto, consultant, organizer, policy savant, lifelong Chicagoan, and devoted CTA rider. The gang chats about the fall 2025 CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) and RTA (Regional Transportation Authority) budget crisis and the role and responsibility of mass public transit in our lives. As the recent funding crisis put public transit in Chicagoland in the spotlight, the team uses it as a catalyst to unpack the nuts and bolts of what funding public services actually looks like on a municipal, county, and state level; the perceptions and realities of public transit; and the the limited political will and actual possibility of what a fully funded and equitable transportation system could actually look like. Originally recorded October 24, 2025. Updates on the state vote and current state of CTA/RTA below in episodes notes. GUESTSadie Soto is a lifelong Chicagoan and devoted CTA rider. A former congressional intern, she is deeply familiar with policy at the national level and has also been active locally as an organizer with the Chicago Teachers Union. Over the years, she has volunteered for multiple aldermanic campaigns and remains an engaged resident of Jefferson Park, frequently attending her neighborhood chamber of commerce and community meetings. She currently works as an environmental consultant, where she supports community-centered initiatives through outreach coordination, public meeting facilitation, and communications that translate complex policy into accessible stories.

Major school districts around the U.S. are reporting an eye-opening decline in the number of students in their classrooms, with the impact being felt due to falling birthrates and expanding school choice programs. What's going on? The guest on this Crosstalk finds this exodus heartening and she hopes it accelerates. She believes government schools continue to fail our children and don't deserve to stay in business. The guest we're referring to is Sheri Few. Sheri is president and founder of United States Parents Involved in Education. It is their mission to end the U.S. Department of Education and all federal education mandates. She is a nationally recognized leader on education policy. She served as executive producer for the documentary film, Truth & Lies in American Education. Jim led off this broadcast with two audio clips. The first was from Michigan Interim State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Sue Carnell. When directly asked how many genders there are she said, "Different people have different beliefs on that." The second clip featured President of the Chicago Teachers Union, Stacy Davis Gates. As of October, she's also president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers. Her quote communicates that children don't belong to the parents but instead are their (the educators) children. These two quotes highlight the underlying problem in the public schools today.

HOUR 1 Hour 1 of Rush to Reason hits the ground running as John Rush welcomes Steve House, former Colorado GOP Chair and longtime health-care executive, for a rapid-fire look at the future of AI, medicine, and education. What happens when artificial intelligence reads your bloodwork better than your doctor? Could peptides disrupt Big Pharma the way streaming crushed cable? And why have drug launch prices jumped from $2,100 in 2008 to over $180,000 today? Steve breaks down the explosion of AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Quarrio—platforms that can analyze symptoms, generate medical summaries, explain drug interactions, and even role-play ER physicians or comedians like Bill Burr. If AI can help people avoid unnecessary appointments, reduce anxiety, and make smarter decisions, will unions, bureaucracies, and giant health systems try to block it? John and Steve push further: Could AI slash labor costs, reinvent classrooms, and eliminate menial tasks across entire professions? Will institutions embrace it—or fight it? And are we heading toward a world where advanced expertise becomes accessible to everyone? This hour is provocative, funny, and packed with bold predictions. HOUR 2 Hour 2 explodes with political heat as John Rush breaks down the real story behind the government shutdown and the six Democrats who crossed party lines. Were they acting on principle—or trying to affect last week's elections? With 42 million Americans on SNAP, John asks: Why is dependency rising when jobs are everywhere? Should drug testing, tighter restrictions, and accountability be required before taxpayers foot the bill? Caller Dan pushes the discussion into health-care reform, HSAs, and free-market medicine, sharing shocking billing stories. John argues conservatives are missing a huge opportunity by refusing to use AI as a communication tool—while the Left embraces it. Caller Jeff raises the case for lifestyle-based insurance rates, while Brad from Lakewood unleashes a blistering critique of GOP messaging, low turnout, and Trump's reliance on Truth Social. If conservatives can't communicate their wins, how do they expect to win elections? This hour is fiery, blunt, and unapologetically honest. HOUR 3 Hour 3 delivers political fireworks, hard data, and eye-opening corruption. John Rush welcomes “Jerzee Joe,” (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) who arrives with statistics showing how broken the system is. Why are only 0.25% of federal employees fired for cause when private industry averages 3–5%? Why do blue states like New Mexico and New York lead the nation in SNAP dependency, while Wyoming and Utah stay near 5%? And how can one man collect six sets of SNAP benefits across multiple states? Joe reveals massive NGO fraud, including a St. Louis nonprofit that burned $11 million on luxuries and a Minneapolis restaurant claiming to feed thousands—but feeding only 40 paying customers. He then exposes the Chicago Teachers Union for spending $173,000 on a “recording studio” with a pool in New Mexico. The hour shifts as market analyst Scott Garliss (https://cscottgarliss.substack.com) breaks down panic surrounding Michael Burry, AI stocks like NVIDIA and Palantir, and whether an “AI bubble” is looming. Are pessimists fueling fear while long-term investors reap the rewards? Fast, sharp, and packed with revelations—this hour pulls no punches.

Last week, radical-left terrorist and cop killer Joanne Chesimard, better known by her nom de guerre Assata Shakur, died in exile in Communist Cuba. You would think that leftists, even radical leftists, would let Chesimard go quietly, especially with the hot lights of public scrutiny on left-wing political violence. But the Chicago Teachers Union, one of America's most powerful and influential radical-left groups did not, posting a Tweet praising the terrorist. Joining us to discuss this latest controversy and her group's efforts to push back against America's worst labor union—and I would normally hesitate to award that title—is Mailee Smith, vice president of policy and litigation at the Illinois Policy Institute.Chicago Teachers Union honors convicted murderer, wanted terroristThe Chicago Teachers Union Is Exactly Who You Thought They WereHow Chicago Teachers Union acts like Illinois' newest political party
You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 29, 2025. 0:30 We start today's show with the looming threat of another government shutdown— the “Schumer Shutdown.” Democrats are demanding $1.5 trillion in new debt spending, including free health care for illegal immigrants, funding for failing media outlets, and cuts to rural hospitals. But could this shutdown be the opportunity that President Trump has been waiting for? 9:58 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Four people were killed during an attack on a mormon church in Michigan over the weekend. President Trump announced a 21 point plan to end the fighting in the Gaza Strip. Over the weekend, New York Mayor Eric Adams dropped out of the race for reelection. 12:40 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:43 We tackle a deeply troubling trend — the rise in attacks on people gathered in prayer and worship. Are these attacks random or are they part of a broader assualt on the nation's moral and spiritual foundations? 16:36 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson : If there were a reality TV competition to find the best dinner date, who would you send to win? We discuss what makes someone a great dinner companion. 23:26 We discuss the NFL’s announcement that Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. We tackle Bad Bunny’s outspoken criticism of ICE, his previous statements about not performing in the U.S., and the potential cultural and political implications of giving him one of the world’s most visible stages. 26:08 We Dig Deep into a controversial tweet from the Chicago Teachers Union honoring Assata Shakur, a convicted cop killer and former member of the Black Liberation Army. We review her criminal history, her escape from prison, and her life in exile, questioning why a teachers’ union would celebrate such a figure. 32:34 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:41 We discuss the sudden exit of incumbent NYC Mayor Eric Adams from the mayoral race and analyze the remaining candidates, including Republican Curtis Sliwa, Independent Andrew Cuomo, and Socialist Zohran Mamdani. 36:43 Plus, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is a surprising Bright Spot in the Democrat Party. Fetterman stands out for refusing to label Republicans as Nazis or fascists and advocating for civil discourse. From supporting Israel and denouncing terrorism to urging negotiation over government shutdowns, Fetterman’s pragmatic approach offers a rare example of independent thinking within the Democratic Party. 40:40 Chinese immigration has skyrocketed in Mexico, pushing out Mexican businesses, and China is trying to do the same in the US. And it's time that we stand up to China and say, "Whoa!" 42:50 And we finish off with a woman who was able to find her voice with the help of technology.

Millions of kids have started school over the past few weeks – that includes students in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C, and now Chicago, all cities targeted by the Trump administration for immigration enforcement and, of course, crime. It's worth saying that, like in other cities that Trump has mentioned as evil dens of criminal miscreants, violent crime has gone down in the city of Chicago over the last year. But the president, who posted an "Apocalypse Now" inspired meme over the weekend, implying he wants to go to "war" with Chicago, doesn't seem to care much about facts and figures. But teachers do. So to learn more about how teachers in Chicago are handling a new school year and the potential for more federal incursions on the city, we spoke to Stacy Davis Gates, the president of the Chicago Teachers Union. And in headlines: revised job numbers show a much weaker job market than previously thought, Israel strikes Qatar, dealing a major blow to ceasefire talks, and American high school students' test scores hit a historic low.Show Notes:Check out the Chicago Teachers Union – https://www.ctulocal1.org/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The Caucus of Rank and File Educators (CORE) led by Karen Lewis, a charismatic high school chemistry teacher, was elected to lead the Chicago Teachers Union in 2010. Lewis was a brilliant, transformational labor leader, and CORE developed a forceful form of social justice union organizing they called “organizing for the common good.” They foregrounded the best interests of the child, and they insisted on raising issues beyond wages and benefits, standing up for the arts, libraries, and nurses in every school as well as for the rights of families and the broader community. Among CORE's early initiatives were starting a research department, and moving staff away from exclusively servicing the contract toward ongoing organizing of parents, community members, and teachers together. We're joined by Elizabeth Todd-Breland, an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and author of both the award winning A Political Education: Black Politics and EducationReform in Chicago Since the 1960s and the recently released memoir, I Didn't Come Here to Lie, written with the late Karen Lewis and published by Haymarket Press.
The Chicago Teachers Union has a tentative contract agreement. What's in it and what comes next? Helping us break down the details, WBEZ assistant managing editor Kate Grossman and Injustice Watch investigative reporter Kelly Garcia.
