Conversations on AI typically deal with impacts in the US, Asia, and Europe. Yet the impact of AI on Africa, and Africa on AI, is immense. Professor and Director of the MIND Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand Benjamin Rosman joins David Rothkopf to explore the unique perspectives coming from Africa in the tech space, why grassroots movements drive innovation, and how unique resource constraints are forcing a creative departure from the “bigger is better” obsession in Silicon Valley.

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 March 11, 2026. We start with a chilling “what-if” scenario that defense officials are now taking seriously: the possibility of weaponized drones launching from cargo ships just off the American coast. It’s the kind of modern warfare tactic that sounds like science fiction… but recent conflicts around the world prove it’s technologically possible. So how real is the threat, and how careful should we be before the media turns speculation into panic? From there, we break down three big stories you need to know before tomorrow. Washington State passes a new income tax on millionaires—and almost immediately a very famous billionaire announces he’s leaving. ExxonMobil decides after 144 years it’s done calling New Jersey home and is heading to Texas. And overseas, an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Oslo reminds us that tensions around the world can spill over in dangerous ways. We also dive into a fascinating conversation with American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about the biggest “lies” we were told growing up—from the idea that the news is neutral to the promise that a college degree guarantees success. It turns into a honest discussion about work, purpose, and why helping others succeed may be the real key to getting ahead. In our Digging Deep segment, we look at a shocking investigation uncovering massive hospice fraud in Los Angeles—hundreds of suspicious companies, dozens registered in the same buildings, and billions in taxpayer dollars potentially at risk. It’s the kind of story that raises serious questions about oversight… and even more questions about how long it’s been happening. We also talk foreign policy and diplomacy as pressure mounts on Cuba’s struggling regime, and why the moment might finally be right for a historic shift in U.S.–Cuba relations. Meanwhile, late-night comedy shows reveal something telling about modern political culture—when the jokes about a war are aimed overwhelmingly at America instead of the regime that fuels terrorism. And we wrap up with a couple of bright spots: a police officer who ran toward danger to stop a would-be bombing in New York City, and a young pilot forced to land on a crowded highway whose life—and plane—were saved thanks to a quick-thinking truck driver who blocked traffic.

At 7:07 p.m. on May 5, 1980, the Metropolitan Police officially handed control of the Iranian Embassy siege to the SAS. What followed were seventeen minutes of high-stakes drama that would change the reputation of the Special Air Service forever. In this episode, Patrick Bishop and Saul David break down the frantic tactical reality of Operation Nimrod. We explore the "Blue" and "Red" team assaults, the infamous moment an operative became entangled in his abseil rope, and the live television broadcast that captivated millions across the globe. Beyond the flashbangs and the smoke, they tackle the difficult questions: The Controversy: Was there a "shoot-to-kill" policy? We examine the accounts of hostages and the fate of the surviving terrorists. The Global Impact: How Margaret Thatcher used the success of the raid as diplomatic leverage to try and free American hostages in Tehran. The Legacy: How a "textbook" assault on the edge of Hyde Park transformed the SAS from a shadowy unit into a world-renowned anti-terrorist force.

Give to help Chris make Truce President Jimmy Carter's presidency (1977–1981) faced several major challenges, both domestically and internationally. One of the biggest domestic issues was the struggling U.S. economy. Carter inherited high inflation and unemployment, problems that worsened during his term. The country experienced "stagflation" — a combination of stagnant economic growth and high inflation. The energy crisis, marked by oil shortages and skyrocketing gas prices, further fueled economic instability. Though Carter promoted energy conservation and alternative energy development, many Americans viewed his efforts as inadequate or overly pessimistic. Internationally, Carter faced major challenges in foreign policy. One of the most significant was the Iran Hostage Crisis, which began in November 1979 when 52 American diplomats and citizens were taken hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. The crisis lasted 444 days and was a major blow to Carter's administration, especially after a failed rescue attempt. It deeply affected U.S. relations with Iran and damaged public confidence in Carter's leadership. Though Carter did achieve a major diplomatic success with the Camp David Accords — a peace agreement between Egypt and Israel — the Iran Hostage Crisis ultimately overshadowed much of his foreign policy work. Another major issue during Carter's presidency was a perceived lack of effective leadership. Carter, known for his integrity and moral outlook, struggled to build strong relationships with Congress and the media. He often took a technocratic, detail-oriented approach to governing, which alienated many political allies. Critics saw his administration as indecisive and overly focused on long-term goals rather than immediate results. These perceptions contributed to a loss of public confidence and were a key factor in his defeat by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 presidential election. The special guest for this episode is historian and author Rick Perlstein.

Today's Headlines: The first 2026 primaries are done. In North Carolina, Democrat Roy Cooper and Republican Michael Whatley advanced to face off for retiring Sen. Thom Tillis' seat. In Arkansas, Sen. Tom Cotton cruised to renomination, while Democrat Hallie Shoffner won with 77%. Texas was a little more dramatic. After historic turnout, a Dallas judge extended voting hours over polling confusion. Attorney General Ken Paxton — who's on the ballot — asked the Texas Supreme Court to block it, and the court agreed. Paxton now heads to a GOP runoff with Sen. John Cornyn after neither hit 50%. Abroad, the Iran war intensified after drones struck the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh. President Donald Trump said Iran's air defenses were “knocked out” and promised “big-scale” strikes. Sen. Richard Blumenthal warned of possible “boots on the ground.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested U.S. strikes were preemptive ahead of Israeli action — then tried to walk that back. Israel also hit a meeting of Iran's Council of Experts during its Supreme Leader selection. Stateside, reports say some commanders framed the war to troops as “God's divine plan.” FBI Director Kash Patel fired counterintelligence officials who had worked Trump-related cases, including Iran matters, and now faces whistleblower claims over handling of an ICE shooting investigation. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem endured a bruising hearing, with Sen. Tillis suggesting she resign. House Oversight is expanding its Epstein probe to include Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and former Goldman Sachs counsel Kathy Ruemmler. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to expand France's nuclear arsenal, and Melania Trump chaired a UN Security Council meeting during the U.S. presidency rotation.

A.M. Edition for Mar. 3. The State Department is expanding its diplomatic pullback from the Middle East after the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia was attacked by an Iranian drone. Plus, with tourists and expats looking on, Persian Gulf nations have thus far managed to intercept the majority of drones and missiles directed at them by Iran. But Oxford Analytica's Rawan Maayeh explains that the countries are struggling to balance a tough response to Iran's attacks with the desire to end fighting and restore a sense of calm. And limited flight operations resume in Dubai, even as airspace across much of the Middle East remains shut. Luke Vargas hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First up — Israel strikes the very body responsible for selecting Iran's next supreme leader, targeting members of the Council of Experts in what appears to be a calculated move to prolong Tehran's leadership vacuum and prevent the regime from consolidating power after the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. We examine what this means for Iran's internal stability and whether the Islamic Republic can reestablish command and control. Later in the show — Iran escalates further, launching drone strikes against the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital. While casualties were limited, the attack signals a widening battlefield and raises serious questions about Tehran's willingness to directly target American diplomatic facilities across the region.

Does The War Press Coverage Already Suck? With Barbara Starr. Markets Plummet. US Pilot Shows How Awesome Our Women Warriors Are. The 2026 Chickenhawk Club.  Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff breaks down Trump's fast‑escalating war with Iran, the rise of deadly drone warfare, and what it all means for American troops, families, and civilians worldwide. Then, regular guest and legendary CNN Pentagon reporter Barbara Starr joins Paul to cut through the chaos, dissect the Pentagon's long‑delayed press briefings, and explain why “air power alone” won't deliver victory in Iran—or anywhere else. From unprotected American troops killed in a makeshift Kuwaiti trailer, to embassies under threat and chaotic evacuation warnings, this episode exposes how badly Washington has prepared for the conflicts it helped ignite. Paul and Barbara also spotlight the now 6 American troops killed in action, the viral story of the downed American F‑15 pilot, the courage and professionalism of women in combat, and the mental‑health toll on service members, vets, and families now bracing for a long, uncertain war. If you care about the troops, the truth, and the future of American democracy in a time of permanent crisis, this is a must‑listen. -WATCH full video of this episode here.

Sirens don't always sound before a war—sometimes the warning is a bland memo telling diplomats to pack. We open with the U.S. pullback of non‑emergency staff from Israel and track how similar moves in Lebanon and likely elsewhere signal more than routine caution. From there, we map the fault lines in the Iran talks: Oman's shuttle diplomacy, Tehran's offer to dilute 60 percent uranium in exchange for real sanctions relief, and Washington's push for a forever framework with stockpile transfer. When “progress” headlines collide with uncompromising demands, the math points one direction—toward force. We challenge the claim that Iran “won't say no nukes” by pulling the public statements and the religious decree that prohibit nuclear weapons, then set that against the hard lesson of deterrence from Iraq, Libya, and nuclear‑armed North Korea. Add in a persistent myth about EFPs in Iraq being “made in Iran,” and you get a narrative built to justify strikes rather than to solve a problem. We explain how these talking points, repeated often, become premises for action, and why a strike would likely trigger missile salvos that overwhelm defenses, hit U.S. positions, and drag Israel into a wider fight. Power without process is a theme throughout. We press the missing question to the presidency: where is the congressional authorization for a new Middle East war? A real vote could slow or stop escalation, yet media and political opponents remain quiet. The show widens to Cuba, where intensified sanctions aim to force internal change, and to the AI front, where the U.S. moved to cancel contracts with Anthropic after the company resisted military targeting and mass surveillance uses. That confrontation reveals how quickly advanced tech can be bent to state aims when guardrails are treated as disobedience.

Dropped February 27, 2026 (with some reports noting February 26 evening rollout), this marks the first-ever collaboration between Portland's Yeat and Liverpool's rising star EsDeeKid. The track serves as the lead single from Yeat's upcoming album ADL (A Dangerous Lyfe), his follow-up to 2024's Lyfestyle, with no release date announced yet.The official music video, directed by Director X, was filmed inside Drake's exclusive Toronto mansion (The Embassy)—a rarely seen high-profile location. Yeat and EsDeeKid deliver bars amid luxurious interiors, with cameos from NFL quarterback Caleb Williams and Cole Bennett. Drake doesn't appear physically but makes an indirect impact via a phone call scene at the end, adding a symbolic co-sign layer given Yeat's prior feature on Drake's "Dog House" from Iceman.Thematically, "Made It On Our Own" celebrates independent success, underground-to-mainstream breakthroughs, and defying industry norms—aligning both artists as boundary-pushing alt-rap forces. Yeat has teased ADL as boundary-shattering, dangerous-life inspired, and sonically transformative. EsDeeKid, fresh off his October 2025 debut album Rebel (which charted on Billboard 200) and a December 2025 "4 Raws" remix with Timothée Chalamet, brings UK flair and BRIT Breakthrough Artist nomination buzz.The release generated massive streams—1.5 million first-day on Spotify, Yeat's career-high for a single and the week's top hip-hop debut. Analytic Dreamz dives into the transatlantic chemistry, Drake connection symbolism, visual flexes, career momentum, and what this means for Yeat's evolving sound and EsDeeKid's global push.Tune in for the full breakdown on Analytic Dreamz—raw rap culture analysis.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/exclusive-contentPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they examine whether U.S. military action against Iran is imminent, Virginia Democrats voting themselves a massive pay raise, and the Pentagon's escalating dispute with AI company Anthropic over autonomous weapons systems.First, they react to the U.S. ordering embassy personnel out of Israel and Iraq, a move that has fueled speculation that military action against Iran could be just hours or days away. They discuss what such a strike might look like and what the potential endgame would be.Next, they sigh as Democrats in the Virginia legislature vote to nearly triple their pay in the next session. Jim says politicians raising their own pay is always a bad idea and he says the last thing we want are full-time state lawmakers.Finally, they break down the growing clash between the Pentagon and AI firm Anthropic over the future of artificial intelligence in warfare. Anthropic's CEO claims the company cannot partner with the Defense Department due to concerns about autonomous weapons systems and mass domestic surveillance. Pentagon officials dispute that characterization, and Jim emphasizes the need for clear legal and constitutional guardrails as the U.S. races to develop advanced AI capabilities in competition with Communist China.Please visit our great sponsors:Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLLive better, longer with BUBS Naturals.
