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 May 13, 2026. We open with the China story that keeps getting bigger — the day after we covered the Arcadia, California mayor who pleaded guilty to acting as a Chinese Communist Party agent, a man named Lou John Wang was convicted in New York City for operating a secret Chinese police station — kidnapping dissidents, pressuring critics of the CCP, and running what amounts to a foreign government's law enforcement operation on American soil. We connect it to Trump and Rubio's diplomatic trip to Beijing, explain what China's secret police stations actually do, and make the case that China's infiltration of American life — through supply chains, universities, real estate near military bases, and now city halls and police stations — is unlike anything any hostile nation has ever accomplished inside our borders. We ask the question every American should be asking — how much access has the Chinese Communist Party already built while we were telling ourselves economics and national security were separate conversations? In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump landed in Beijing with a delegation that included Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wang — arriving to a red carpet welcome and plans to push for Chinese market access for U.S. businesses. Then the U.S. Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as the next chair of the Federal Reserve on a 54-45 vote — with Democrat John Fetterman the only crossover — signaling future interest rate cuts that sent equity markets surging. And Salem Communications — home to Hugh Hewitt, Joe Piscopo, Charlie Kirk, Mike Gallagher, and American Ground Radio partnerships in New York, D.C., and the Salem Podcast Network — has been acquired by Waterstone in a deal CEO David Santrella says will accelerate the company's faith-forward mission for years to come. Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to talk about country singer Eric Church's commencement speech at North Carolina — which she calls the single greatest commencement speech she has ever heard. Using the six strings of a guitar as his framework, Church walked graduates through faith as the foundational low E string, family as the A string, their life partner as the D string at the heart of the instrument, ambition and resilience on the G string, community on the B string — where he urged graduates to put down roots, volunteer, and build the thing their community needs even if the internet never sees it — and individual greatness on the high E string, the thinnest string most easily bent by outside pressure. We walk through every string and explain why this speech deserves to be heard by every graduating class in America. We dig deep into a new Harvard, Stanford, and Dartmouth report called From Learning Recession to Learning Recovery — which identifies a nationwide decline in student achievement in math and reading that began in 2013 and was just as severe before the pandemic as during it. The researchers blame social media. We disagree. We connect the timeline directly to Common Core — the untested, nationally imposed educational standards pushed by the Gates Foundation and adopted by 46 states by 2013 — that confused children, baffled parents who could no longer help with math homework, and produced exactly the results you'd expect from conducting a nationwide experiment on children with no prior testing. And we note that Louisiana — which abandoned Common Core's methodology and adopted the Science of Reading — now leads the nation in educational improvement. We also cover the DOJ's settlement with PayPal over their $530 million Economic Opportunity Fund — a 2020 program that tied eligibility explicitly to race and national origin in violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. We make the case that you cannot achieve fairness by creating an unfair system, and that civil rights laws were designed to stop discrimination — not rebrand it. We also dig into Senator Tommy Tuberville's proposal to establish English as the official language of American schools — and make the case that a shared language is not about race, it's about unity, assimilation, and the Tower of Babel. For our Bright Spot, a Marine veteran with a concealed carry permit in Massachusetts was already going car to car helping people escape and exchanging fire with an active shooter on Memorial Drive in Cambridge before police arrived. The shooter — who had previously been given half the recommended prison sentence for shooting at cops in 2020 — was stopped before anyone was killed. Nobody's covering this story. We are. We also note that Rudy Giuliani has recovered from pneumonia, left the hospital after being on a ventilator and in the ICU, and remind listeners that God is not finished with us until He says so. And we close with Logan, Cody, and Brody — three high schoolers in Cooper City, Florida who pulled over to help a man they thought had a flat tire and discovered he was having a heart attack. They called 911. Emergency crews arrived. Diego survived. His son said, God didn't send angels with wings. He sent those boys. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Early this morning, between 2 and 3 am, the Senate approved cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting including NPR and PBS as well as member stations including WITF. The Senate vote was 51-to-48. Pennsylvania's senators voted along party lines. With a yes vote, Republican David McCormick voted to rescind funding for public broadcasting as well as foreign aid. Democrat John Fetterman voted against the bill. Earlier this week, Fetterman told the Philadelphia Inquirer the cuts undermine the very values of family and education Republicans claim to champion. Fetterman cited Fred Rogers, a Pittsburgh icon, who taught generations of American children about kindness and empathy through his PBS program "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood." Here’s the next step for the legislation: The Senate's approval of the cuts tees up a final vote in the House, which approved an earlier version last month. For the proposed rescissions to kick in, the bill would need to be signed into law by midnight Friday. Here’s a closer look at the financial implications of the bill. The legislation would claw back nearly $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting which represents the full amount it’s due to receive during the next two budget years. The corporation distributes more than 70% of that money to more than 1500 locally-operated public television and radio stations including WITF based in Harrisburg but serving a 19-county area of Central Pennsylvania. Ron Hetrick, President and CEO of WITF's parent organization Pennon calls today's decision "disappointing," while encouraging those passionate about public media to contact their elected representatives today. Hetrick adds that "In these moments of uncertainty, we remain unwavering in our mission to ensure our organization continues to serve as a trusted source of information and connection for our community." Now turning to another breaking story we’re following this morning: Vice President JD Vance touted the One Big Beautiful Bill Wednesday, making a stop in northeast Pennsylvania, at a Machine Shop in West Pittston. Vance praised President Donald Trump for retooling the economy in favor of American workers. Meantime, Around 50 people protested the Trump administration's immigration policies, education and healthcare cuts during Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Luzerne County on Wednesday.

Did you miss any of The Rich Zeoli Show this week? It's ok. We forgive you. But now is your chance to catch-up on all the action: On Tuesday night, Pennsylvanians elected Democrat John Fetterman to the U.S. Senate. With 94% of the vote reporting, according to the Associated Press, Fetterman leads Dr. Mehmet Oz 50.5% to 47.1%. In the state's Gubernatorial race, Democrat Josh Shapiro easily defeated Republican Doug Mastriano—current reporting has Shapiro leading by over 700,000 votes. Why did Republicans underperform in Tuesday's midterm elections? Did abortion play a larger role in Pennsylvania than many were expecting? Did candidate quality doom Republicans? Henry attempts to select a film for today's Movie Mystery Clip, but Rich and Matt have never heard of his choice, “My Left Foot"—it's likely no one else on the planet has heard of it either! The segment quickly devolves into chaos. Marc Joffe—Policy Analyst at the CATO Institute—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest editorial for National Review, “Is the Biden Administration Creating a Medicaid Fiscal Cliff?” Joffe writes: “By continuing to needlessly extend the Covid-19 state of emergency, the Biden administration is making Medicaid even more financially unsustainable than it already was.” According to data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), more than a quarter of “Americans are now enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP.” Could this rapid expansion lead to single-payer healthcare? Read more at: https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/11/is-the-biden-administration-creating-a-medicaid-fiscal-cliff/ The Washington Post's Glenn Kessler awarded President Joe Biden a “bottomless Pinocchio” for not only making grossly misleading statements but repeating the falsehoods routinely. For example, Biden claimed he has spent “more time with Xi Jinping than any other head of state” and has traveled more than “17,000 miles with him.” Kessler points out that not only are these claims false, but he has repeated the claim 21 times! According to the WaPo, Biden has also lied about the price of gas, student debt forgiveness, and Social Security cost-of-living increases. Clarice Schillinger—former candidate for Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor & Executive Director of Back to School U.S.A.—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest opinion editorial at Broad + Liberty, “The Pennsylvania GOP is a Dumpster Fire.”Read more at: https://broadandliberty.com/2022/11/09/beth-ann-rosica-and-clarice-schillinger-the-pennsylvania-gop-is-a-dumpster-fire/
3:05pm- On Tuesday night, Pennsylvania elected Democrat John Fetterman to the U.S. Senate. With 94% of the vote reporting, according to the Associated Press, Fetterman leads Dr. Mehmet Oz 50.5% to 47.1%. In the state's Gubernatorial race, Democrat Josh Shapiro easily defeated Republican Doug Mastriano—current reporting has Shapiro leading by over 700,000 votes. 3:30pm- Why did Republicans underperform in Tuesday's midterm elections? Did abortion play a larger role in Pennsylvania than many were expecting? Did candidate quality doom Republicans? 4:05pm- Though the “red wave” many polling outlets were expecting never seemed to materialize, it still seems likely that Republicans will control the House of Representatives and can still gain a majority in the Senate as well. 4:10pm- On Tuesday, Pennsylvanians reelected Democrat Anthony “Tony” DeLuca to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. However, DeLuca died on October 9th—a special election will now be triggered, though no date has been announced. 4:40pm- On Wednesday, President Joe Biden spoke with members of the press about the November 8th midterm election results—calling it “a good day…for democracy.” 5:05pm- While on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough used the saying: “Lives in Jersey, Votes in Turkey!” to describe the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Dr. Mehmet Oz. Has Scarborough been listening to The Rich Zeoli Show? 5:20pm- In Florida, incumbent Ron DeSantis (R) won his gubernatorial race against Charlie Crist (D) by nearly 20-points—including a win in Miami-Dade County, a historically Democrat-county that Republicans hadn't captured in twenty-years. During his victory speech, DeSantis declared, “Florida is where woke comes to die!” as the crowd chanted, “two-more years”—a reference to the 2024 Presidential race. 5:40pm- Mario Balaban—Media Relations Manager at Project Veritas Action—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to talk about Project Veritas' quest to guarantee safe, fair elections while concurrently exposing any practices that could potentially be problematic. At one Philadelphia ballot collection location, Project Veritas alarmingly identified a set of keys sitting on top of a drop box. Thankfully, there is no sign of voter fraud, but why isn't Philadelphia more active in preventing accidents like this one from occurring? 6:05pm- Following Ron DeSantis' big Gubernatorial win in Florida, Donald Trump warned: “If [DeSantis] did run [for president], I will tell you things about him that won't be very flattering. I know more about him than anybody other than perhaps his wife, who is really running his campaign.” 6:35pm- Who are you backing in a hypothetical 2024 Presidential primary race between former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis? Zeoli audience members call in to voice their opinions! Who are they taking?
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: On Tuesday night, Pennsylvania elected Democrat John Fetterman to the U.S. Senate. With 94% of the vote reporting, according to the Associated Press, Fetterman leads Dr. Mehmet Oz 50.5% to 47.1%. In the state's Gubernatorial race, Democrat Josh Shapiro easily defeated Republican Doug Mastriano—current reporting has Shapiro leading by over 700,000 votes. Why did Republicans underperform in Tuesday's midterm elections? Did abortion play a larger role in Pennsylvania than many were expecting? Did candidate quality doom Republicans?
On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, let's be clear about who's interfering in elections; Democrat John Fetterman is suing to have updated mail-in ballots accepted and counted despite a recent court ruling. In Arizona, Katie Hobbs is the chief elections officer, and she is the Democrat running for governor. Polls are still open in every part of the country and red-blooded Americans must make their way to the polls to cast their votes. Then, cheap shots against candidates will not be tolerated. Like it or not, Ron DeSantis is beloved by conservatives for rejecting Fauci's lockdowns and vaccine mandates. Later, Anna Paulina Luna flipped former Governor Crist's congressional seat while Governor DeSantis and Marco Rubio handily won reelection including carrying a majority in Miami-Dade county.

Democrats outperformed expectations in Tuesday's midterms, but Republicans still look likely to take back the House. We talk to reporters covering Congress and the White House about what to make of the results we have so far, and what to look for next. Read more:Control of both chambers of Congress remained undecided Wednesday morning after Democrats showed surprising strength in key battleground races on Election Day. On “Post Reports,” we're joined by White House reporter Tyler Pager and Liz Goodwin, who covers Congress for The Post. They talk about the key issues in this race — including democracy and abortion access, which voters supported even in heavily Republican states.In the Senate, races remained uncalled in Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada. Democrat John Fetterman won the Senate race in Pennsylvania, defeating Republican Mehmet Oz, who conceded on Wednesday. That was a pickup for Democrats. Republicans prevailed in Ohio and North Carolina, fending off efforts to flip those seats. Democrats retained seats representing New Hampshire, Colorado and Washington state.
All the votes have been cast in Midterms 2022, and many of the results are in. Florida Republicans are celebrating statewide victories in the elections for Governor and Senate. But outside of the Sunshine state, it's hard to find evidence of a significant "red wave" that many Republicans had hoped for. For the most part, Republican candidates won in Republican districts, and Democrats carried Democratic districts. The statewide races didn't bring many surprises: Republican JD Vance took Ohio. Democratic candidate for governor Stacey Abrams conceded to Republican governor Brian Kemp. Democrat John Fetterman secured Pennsylvania. And as of Wednesday morning, many of the toss up state-wide races like Wisconsin and Nevada were still up in the air. We get election takeaways from Joel Payne, Democratic strategist, and CBS News political contributor and Brendan Buck, a partner with the political communications firm, Seven Letter. Brendan was the press secretary for Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign and former House Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan.
Pennsylvania is a key state with a Senate race that will help determine control of the chamber. Geoff Bennett is in the Keystone State looking at the contest there between Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
Both parties have been pushing to raise their hopes in controlling the Senate in the key battlegrounds of Georgia and Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, Republican nominee Mehmet Oz and Democrat John Fetterman are in a statistical tie and in Georgia, polls show Republican Herschel Walker took a small lead over Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock. FOX's John Saucier speaks with FOX's Gurnal Scott in Georgia and FOX's Tonya J. Powers in Pennsylvania who are both closely following the Senate races in those states.

A man broke into the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacked her husband. The speaker was not home at the time and her husband is expected to make a full recovery. But, a source briefed on the attack told NPR, the assailant was looking for the Speaker.In Pennsylvania, a debate challenged Democrat John Fetterman as he continues to recover from a stroke. Though he is still ahead of his opponent, Republican Mehmet Oz, the race has tightened in the past month.And a major train strike appears possible after the midterm elections as a labor dispute the White House weighed into resolve has begun to unravel after two major unions voted against a proposed deal.This episode: White House correspondent Asma Khalid, voting correspondent Miles Parks, national political correspondent Don Gonyea, and politics reporter Ximena Bustillo.Support the show and unlock sponsor-free listening with a subscription to The NPR Politics Podcast Plus.

Midterm elections are a week and a half away, which could alter the balance of power in the nation's capital. Millions of people have already cast their ballots, and overall voter turnout is projected to be one of the highest ever for a midterm. The Senate race in Pennsylvania could be crucial for Democrats to pick up and hang onto control. The fight between Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz is narrowing, and the candidates debated for the first and only time this week. Oz attempted to appease both sides on the abortion debate, but did he alienate everyone instead? And how will Fetterman's ongoing recovery from a stroke this summer sit with voters? Plus, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are holding events throughout the country to advocate for their parties. Both are using scare tactics — just in time for Halloween — to persuade voters the other party has become too extreme. Is this argument more effective for Republicans or Democrats? And, is this actually a country full of political extremists? Host David Greene discusses with Mo Elleithee, executive director of Georgetown University's Institute of Politics and Public Service, on the left; and Sarah Isgur, staff writer at The Dispatch, on the right. And, special guest Kimberly Atkins Stohr, senior opinion writer at the Boston Globe, weighs in on the future of affirmative action in higher education. Atkins Stohr discusses how universities could uphold diversity if the Supreme Court strikes affirmative action down, and her recent column “Affirmative action in college admissions is at risk.” And finally, a Halloween treat of Sarah Isgur's secret skill.
Maria and Julio get into the latest with the midterms, including the Pennsylvania Senate debate between Republican candidate Mehmet Oz and Democratic candidate John Fetterman. They also talk about the mainstream media's coverage of the election, the consequences of Kanye West's antisemitic and anti-Black comments and voter intimidation efforts in Arizona. ITT Staff Picks: “It's a reflection of a larger issue: our country's persisting discomfort around disabled bodies and minds. In some ways, it's not surprising, given the fact that we continue to see so few visible examples of people with disabilities integrated into everyday life,” writes Mihir Kakara about the discourse around Democrat John Fetterman in this opinion piece for The Philadelphia Inquirer. “After years of trafficking in bigotry, Kanye West has finally been kan-celed. But at second glance, the consequences for West might be less a victory for social justice than a sign of its current limits,” writes Karen Attiah in her analysis for The Washington Post. Katie Friel and Jasleen Singh of the Brennan Center for Justice share this guide on federal and state laws addressing voter intimidation as we head into the midterm elections.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (10/24/2022): 3:05pm- According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), Pennsylvania and New Jersey student reading and math scores have decreased since 2019—indicating that pandemic school shutdowns have had an impact on childhood learning. 3:20pm- During a recent Board of Education meeting in Lawrence Township, NJ, one member suggested that parents have no right to determine what curriculum their children will ultimately end up learning in school. 3:45pm- According to a recent Wick Insights poll of likely voters, Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz now leads Democrat John Fetterman 49.1% to 44.6% in their race for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA). 3:50pm- Senator Patty Murray (D- WA) told CNN's Dana Bash that even in hindsight, she does not regret school shutdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the 2022 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), student math scores in every state have declined sharply since 2019. 3:55pm- In a recent opinion editorial for the Wall Street Journal, Kimberley Strassel explained that Georgia's record-setting early midterm voting “exposes” the lie that election integrity laws adopted by the state would result in suppressing votes and amounted to “Jim Crow 2.0”. 4:05pm- According to a report from the Daily Wire, the U.S. State Department appropriated $20,000 for a drag show in Ecuador. 4:20pm- Mattel has announced the creation of its first “gender-neutral” doll—referring to it as a “doll for everyone.” Mattel's Cultural Expert Jess Weiner explained that the doll was created because “parents are concerned about genderizing toys.” 4:40pm- During Sunday's episode of “Face the Nation”, anchor Margaret Brennan spoke with a focus group consisting of Republican, Democrat, and Independent voters. Brennan was surprised by how much agreement there was between the voters on issues like the economy, crime, and “woke” ideology, despite their differing party affiliations. 5:05pm- Appearing on CBS's Face the Nation, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi stated that it's a misconception to say Democrats care more about abortion access than the economy—she also insisted that inflation is a “global phenomenon” and not the fault of President Joe Biden or Democrats in the Legislative Branch. 5:15pm- While speaking with Jake Tapper on CNN, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) blamed over 50% of inflation on “corporate greed.” 5:30pm- Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) appeared on Monday's episode of the The View, with the appearance going about as well as you would imagine—filled with fiery exchanges over election denial, disruptions from the audience, and Ana Navarro reprimanding Sen. Cruz for speaking too loudly. 5:40pm- Another group of radical climate change protesters have targeted a beloved piece of art for desecration—this time it was “Grainstacks” by French Impressionist Claude Monet at the Barberini Museum in Germany. The activists splattered the $100 million painting with mashed potatoes. In an opinion editorial featured in the New York Times, Andres Malm—an associate professor of human ecology at Lund University and the author of “How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire”—encouraged destructive behavior that targets the fossil fuel industry writing, “[a]s for the ethics of property destruction, it is not, in this case, very complicated. Fossil fuels kill people. If you disrupt the flow of such fuels and damage the machinery they impel, you prevent deaths. You stop the perpetration of harm. You may destroy an inanimate object.” 6:05pm- According to an NBC News report, Ron DeSantis could become the first Republican Florida Governor to win Miami-Dade County in over 20 years—since Jeb Bush in 2002. Miami-Dade is 70% Hispanic. The Atlantic's Jemele Hill wrote of DeSantis' support within the Hispanic community: "proximity to whiteness is a real thing. Also reminds me of an adage I heard a long time ago about how the oppressed begin to take on the traits of the oppressor.” 6:15pm- On Monday, while speaking at the Democratic National Committee's headquarters in Washington D.C., President Joe Biden once again blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for inflation and vowed to ban assault weapons. 6:30pm- Fox News pieced together a hilarious montage of President Joe Biden “berating, scolding, and insulting reporters.” 6:35pm- During a rally in Robstown, Texas on Saturday, former President Donald Trump stated he will “probably have to” run for president again in 2024. 6:50pm- Contrary to narratives being pushed by many members of the national and international media, British Prime Minister Liz Truss' resignation should not be mistaken as a reason for American politicians to avoid tax cuts in the future. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board explains: “She is being made the scapegoat for the economic policy blunders that the ruling Conservatives have made over 12 years in power, and especially since 2019 under previous Prime Minister Boris Johnson. 6:55pm- Who Won Social Media? +Zeoli's Final Thought

The stakes are high as the nation waits to see if Democrats can flip this seat.Read more:On Nov. 8, Pennsylvanians will vote for their next senator – Republican Mehmet Oz, the TV personality, or Democrat John Fetterman, the state's Lieutenant Governor. Many believe that this seat is the best chance for Democrats to maintain a majority in the Senate. So what do we know about Senate hopeful John Fetterman? Who is the man behind the social media campaigns and the stroke survival story?
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that Democrat John Fetterman will take part in a U.S. Senate debate after the media started questioning his fitness as a candidate and a possible senator. But will the late date of the debate help to protect Fetterman from a rough performance? They also hammer President Biden over his false promise to do everything possible to bring down gas prices, after the Wall Street Journal reports this administration approved the fewest acres for drilling in almost 80 years and 97 percent less land than almost every president since the end of World War II. And they discuss the disturbingly hateful reactions to Queen Elizabeth II's death, including a Carnegie Mellon professor who wished her "excruciating pain."
