Podcasts about federal government

Fareed Zakaria joins the show to discuss The Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present, arguing that the past 30 years of globalization, AI, and cultural upheaval rival the Industrial Revolutions in their political consequences. He makes the case that today's populist surges—from Sweden to the U.S.—are driven less by economics than by immigration-fueled cultural anxiety, and that Democrats' failure to manage the border gave Trump his strongest 2.0 issue. Plus: the top of the show digs into the Federal Government's error-riddled Texas redistricting defense—complete with "sh*ts and gingles."

The Federal Government is being criticised by opponents and climate activists for giving up Australia's bid to host next year's COP summit in favour of Turkiye.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Trust is a fickle thing. It can take years to gain and seconds to destroy. So when I found out about a Gallup poll that showed almost half of Americans do not trust the federal government, I wasn't really surprised. However, when I dug into the details, I found much more than I was expecting. Could it be the repeated frivolous investigations into...

A surprise insertion in the bill to end the federal government shutdown has thrown Native hemp producers into chaos. The language prohibits products like beverages, vapes, and gummies containing THC compounds derived from hemp. Those products were widely available and contribute to a nearly $30 billion industry. Among them is the Lac du Flambeau tribe that produces and sells hemp-derived products. The end of the government shutdown also means the clock is ticking for Native Americans receiving health insurance subsidized by the Affordable Care Act. Without action by Congress, insurance premiums for those people will jump significantly after the start of the New Year. We'll hear about what the possible options are foa the millions of people facing a major hike in insurance costs.

Project 2025 is a sweeping blueprint for reshaping the federal government, published by the Heritage Foundation and a coalition of conservative groups. At its core, the initiative aims to consolidate executive power, dismantle or radically restructure key agencies, and install political loyalists throughout the bureaucracy. The project's 900-page manual, “Mandate for Leadership,” details plans for every major department, from the Department of Justice to the Department of Education, and lays out a 180-day playbook for the first days of a new conservative administration.One of the most controversial proposals is the revival of Schedule F, a personnel classification that would allow the president to replace thousands of career civil servants with political appointees. According to the Heritage Foundation, this would ensure that the executive branch is staffed by individuals “aligned with the president's agenda.” Critics, including the American Federation of Government Employees, warn that this could undermine the nonpartisan nature of the federal workforce and leave employees vulnerable to political pressure.The plan calls for the elimination of several agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission. The Department of Education would be dismantled, with its functions shifted to the states or other departments. The Department of Homeland Security would also face major cuts. The National Institutes of Health would see reduced independence, and funding for stem cell research would be eliminated. The blueprint also recommends merging the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Census Bureau, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics into a single agency, with a mission aligned to conservative principles.Project 2025's education agenda focuses on reducing federal involvement, promoting school choice, and curbing what it calls “woke propaganda” in public schools. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act would be administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, and federal enforcement of civil rights in schools would be significantly curtailed.The initiative also seeks to expand presidential powers, advocating for direct White House control over agencies like the Department of Justice and the FBI. This is based on a controversial interpretation of the unitary executive theory, which aims to centralize authority in the presidency. The plan recommends dismissing all State Department leadership before January 20, 2025, and replacing them with ideologically vetted appointees.Experts warn that these changes could have profound implications for American governance. The American Civil Liberties Union notes that Project 2025 could erode checks and balances, while the Center for Progressive Reform tracks the potential consequences for workers and the public. The project's proposals have already begun to influence executive actions, with recent orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion offices, freezing federal hiring, and reinstating the Schedule F classification.As the 2025 presidential transition approaches, the debate over Project 2025's vision for the federal government is likely to intensify. The coming months will reveal how much of this blueprint is implemented and what it means for the future of American democracy.Thank you for tuning in.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for November 11, 2025. 0:30 We dive into the 40-day government shutdown, the sudden awakening of Dick Durbin’s conscience, and John Fetterman’s surprising revelation about Obamacare subsidies. We unpack how Democrats engineered temporary COVID-era subsidies, then blamed Republicans for letting them expire—and used that as leverage to keep the government closed. From the hypocrisy of “fighting for the little guy” to the gaslighting over who actually wrote the law, we're breaking down the tangled politics behind the Schumer shutdown. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Federal Government's Continuing Resolution to fund the government passed the Senate last night after more than 40 days of lockdown. A Judge in Utah has thrown out a Republican drawn congressional map, and substituted one drawn by Democrats and special interest groups. A former aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul and former governor Andrew Cuomo is on trail for being a spy for the Chinese Communist Party. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 What happened to civil disagreement? We confront the alarming normalization of political violence in America—especially on the far left. From Hollywood actor Woody Harrelson’s shocking comments about fantasizing over harming the president to the media’s casual acceptance of such rhetoric, we're unpacking how moral decay and intellectual failure have made violence a substitute for debate. 15:30 Would you rather marry young, have children, and build a family with someone who isn’t quite your soulmate—or wait for your true love and miss the window to have kids? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into this listener question that hits at the core of love, family, and faith. The Mamas unpack the emotional, biblical, and practical sides of marriage—from marrying your soulmate to growing into one. They share personal stories, wisdom from friends, and surprising insights into how men and women often answer this question very differently. 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 President Reagan once warned that “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” On this Veterans Day, that truth rings louder than ever. We honor the men and women who have fought, sacrificed, and given their “last full measure of devotion” to preserve America’s liberty. 24:30 The Washington Post just ranked every county in America to find “the best place to raise a family.” Their conclusion? Virginia is the best—and Louisiana is the worst. But when you dig into their methodology, the logic starts to fall apart. In this episode, the hosts break down the Post’s ranking system—what it values, what it ignores, and what it says about the media’s worldview. From weighting abortion access and gender policies above faith, family, and two-parent homes, to dismissing states that still celebrate traditional values, this list reveals more about politics than parenting. 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 Plus, we give Stephen's dad Colonel Thomas J. Parr a call. He reflects on what service, sacrifice, and freedom really mean. A decorated Vietnam veteran with three Bronze Stars (one for valor), a West Point graduate, and a surgeon who answered the call again during Desert Storm, Dr. Parr shares powerful, candid memories — from firefights and helicopter “unplanned landings” to moments of faith and perseverance. 39:30 After our conversation with Col. Thomas J. Parr, we reflect on a lesson that extends far beyond military service — the power of attitude. When life feels like it’s spinning out of control — when jobs are lost, marriages strain, or the world just seems turbulent — there’s still one thing you can choose: how you respond. 41:30 And we finish off with Presidents who served in the military.

On a quiet April morning in 2023, the Heritage Foundation released a staggering 900-page document titled Project 2025, a blueprint that would soon pulse through think tanks and campaign war rooms. Billed as a “Mandate for Leadership,” Project 2025 lays out an unprecedented roadmap for transforming the federal government in the event of a Republican administration, leaving no department untouched and no norm unquestioned.At its center is a bold vision: bring the entire executive branch under direct presidential command. Quoting the Heritage Foundation's Kevin Roberts, “all federal employees should answer to the president.” To achieve this, Project 2025 proposes to overhaul the doctrine of separation between agencies like the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the Federal Communications Commission. Kiron Skinner, who co-authored parts of the plan, argues that leadership at the State Department should be swept clean and restaffed with more loyal, ideologically vetted officials, sidestepping Senate confirmation when possible. She told CNN last June that seasoned diplomats were simply “too left-wing” to implement conservative policy, though she struggled to name examples of open resistance.One of Project 2025's most controversial elements is Schedule F, a personnel mechanism designed to undo decades-old civil service protections. The idea is simple and dramatic: reclassify key federal positions to allow political firing and hiring at will. Without these protections, career staff could be ousted en masse and replaced by partisan loyalists. According to a recent Office of Personnel Management memo, every agency has been instructed to draft plans for a “significant reduction in the number of full-time positions” and to “consolidate management layers where unnecessary layers exist.” The Department of Government Efficiency—led by Elon Musk in collaboration with President Trump—has already executed some of these plans in chaotic fashion, abolishing entire agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Board and Voice of America before court rulings temporarily reinstated their staff.The impact stretches far beyond personnel charts. Project 2025 recommends dissolving the federal Education Department, closing or consolidating Agriculture field offices, and stripping the IRS's Office of Civil Rights and Compliance to a skeletal staff. These moves are justified, according to the project's authors, by the goal of eliminating inefficiency and rooting out what they see as a pervasive liberal bias. Former Trump Justice Department official Gene Hamilton, who helped pen Project 2025's justice chapter, contends that the DOJ has “forfeited the trust” of the American people, pledging to prosecute any state or private employer with “DEI or affirmative action programs.” He calls it a fight against “anti-white racism,” intentionally invoking the language of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.There has been vocal opposition. The American Federation of Government Employees warns the plan could terminate up to one million federal jobs, with ripple effects on community services nationwide. The ACLU and other civil rights groups have sounded alarms, describing the project as a threat to democratic norms and checks on executive power. Nonetheless, Project 2025's architects remain steadfast. In a statement to Politico, a Heritage Foundation spokesperson declared, “Simply put: we are seeking to mainstream the most transformational conservative policies in half a century.”Central to the project is a “Day One playbook,” a stack of ready-to-sign executive orders meant to kickstart reforms within hours of a new administration. Experts tracking these developments for the Center for Progressive Reform note that this approach risks not just instability but also legal battles, as rapid agency closures have already prompted emergency court injunctions and union pushback.With the presidential inauguration looming and deadlines set for agency downsizing plans, the coming weeks will be decisive. Supporters claim that Project 2025 is the turning point America needs to reclaim government from entrenched interests. Critics believe it is an existential gamble with the nation's institutions at stake.Project 2025 is no ordinary policy document; it is a living plan, already reshaping Washington's corridors and inspiring fierce debate across the country. As the nation braces for its next chapter, the fate of these sweeping reforms will hinge on upcoming court decisions, agency reckonings, and, ultimately, the will of the American people.Thank you for tuning in, and be sure to come back next week for more.Some great Deals https://amzn.to/49SJ3QsFor more check out http://www.quietplease.aiThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In an exclusive interview, John talks with Kansas Senator Dr. Roger Marshall about the real possibility of the Federal Government shutdown coming to an end

3. When Politicians Panicked: The New Coronavirus, Expert Opinion, and a Tragic Lapse of Reason. This excerpt examines the federal government's response, characterized as a partial command economy imposed after state lockdowns. John Tamny contends that Washington threw trillions of dollars at the collapse it subsidized, delaying recovery. He refutes the premise that cash handouts stimulate growth, stressing that economic dynamism comes from investment, not consumption. Attempts by commentators to nationalize investment and "freeze the economy" by propping up failing businesses were ultimately destructive. Tamny argues that had politicians done nothing, Americans would have adjusted naturally, allowing the resulting capital formation and investor trust to facilitate a rapid, organic recovery. 1918

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 3, 2025. 0:30 We unpack the controversy out of Dearborn, Michigan, where Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told a Christian resident he was “not welcome” in the city after objecting to a street being renamed for a man who once praised Hezbollah. We break down the mayor’s remarks, the misuse of the term “Islamophobe,” and what this moment says about free speech, civic respect, and the growing confusion between disagreement and hate. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the Federal Government spent less money in 2025 than it did in 2024. Some details are finally coming out about the alleged Halloween Terror Plot in Michigan.The FBI filed a 73 page complaint in court against 2 men under the age of 21 and a teenager. Tomorrow is election day in several states across the country.New York City will be selecting a new mayor, and most polls say communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani will win easily. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We take a hard look at what it means to be American in 2025 — and whether today’s immigration policies are helping or hurting the nation’s civic fabric. From nostalgia for Ellis Island to sharp criticism of mass resettlement policies, assimilation and shared civic norms — including pledging allegiance to the Republic — are non-negotiable for national unity. 16:00 The American Mamas are back together! After a wild stretch of floods, car troubles, and chaos, Kimberly Burleson rejoins Teri Netterville for a candid and fiery conversation about boundaries, truth, and common sense in a world that seems to have lost all three. In this episode, the Mamas share a surprising story about a massage appointment gone wrong — when “preference” meets “policy” and customer comfort gets dismissed in the name of virtue signaling. They also unpack Glamour UK’s controversial “Women of the Year” cover featuring transgender models and ask: how far can society bend reality before it breaks? 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 We dive into actor George Clooney’s surprising reversal — admitting that Democrats made a mistake pushing Joe Biden aside for Kamala Harris during the 2024 election. 26:00 We Dig Deep into another glaring example of failure under the Biden administration — a 54% surge in SNAP (food stamp) spending, now topping $120 billion a year. We unpack new revelations from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, who says an internal review uncovered thousands of cases of EBT card fraud — from duplicate benefits across states to payments to the deceased. Even more alarming? Twenty-one states — nearly all Democrat-run — refused to share their data, with several even suing the federal government for asking where the money went. We contrast the left’s “compassion equals more checks” philosophy with a conservative vision of empowerment and accountability. True compassion lifts people up rather than locking them into dependence. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 After nearly forty years in Congress, Nancy Pelosi is reportedly preparing to step away from politics — announcing she won’t seek re-election in 2026. We reflect on Pelosi’s legacy — from her two Trump impeachments and dramatic moments on the House floor to her role in deepening partisan division. 36:00 Plus, the U.S. Navy has manager 273 nuclear reactors over 6,200 reactor-years and 177 million miles — all with zero accidents, zero injuries, and zero environmental pollution, and that's a Bright Spot. 40:30 Violence continues in Chicago. Over Halloween weekend alone, at least 23 people were shot across the city. As President Trump calls to deploy the National Guard to restore order, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and federal courts have resisted — even as the Supreme Court signals growing concern. The people of Chicago will continue to suffer so long as they continue to vote for Democrats who hate Donald Trump. It's time for somebody to step up and say, "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with Scott Johnson, a STEAM teacher at Red Cross Elementary in Kentucky, whose creativity and compassion changed a young boy’s life.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 4, 2025. 0:30 We break down the political standoff that has brought Washington to a halt — and threatens to ground the nation’s air travel. With a government shutdown dragging on, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns of nationwide flight chaos. From TSA staffing shortages to potential economic fallout, Democratic leaders are playing a dangerous game with American livelihoods and national security. 9:30 Plus we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Former Vice President Dick Cheney passed away this week at the age of 84. It's election day for several states across the country. In New York City, communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani is expected to win. The Federal Government shutdown has now passed 35 days, breaking all previous government shutdown records. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 From Karl Marx’s 19th-century theories to modern-day political promises, we explore why the socialist dream has repeatedly turned into a nightmare. When the state promises to take care of everything, everyone ends up poorer, less free, and more dependent. 16:00 The American Mamas tackle the latest protest trend from the Left—a planned weeklong shopping strike meant to hurt Donald Trump’s economy. The Mamas aren’t buying it. They unpack why the protest makes zero economic sense — and how, in trying to “crash” the Trump economy, participants would only end up hurting small businesses and their own paychecks. 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 We take a look at the growing power struggle inside the Democratic Party — and the rise of New York socialist Zohran Mamdani. As polls suggest Mamdani’s likely win, this election could mark a political coup from within, pushing Democrats further left than ever before — a seismic shift not seen since George McGovern’s 1972 transformation attempt. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the early results of President Trump’s controversial decision to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C. — and the numbers speak for themselves. From a 60% drop in murders to carjackings down 70%, new reports show dramatic crime reductions since the launch of Trump’s “D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force.” The data proves that restoring order and accountability works — even as Democrats in cities like Chicago and Portland continue to fight Trump’s authority in court. 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 take a hard look at the complex legacy of former Vice President Dick Cheney — a man once considered one of the most influential figures in American foreign policy. We revisit the Iraq War and the long-debated question of whether the Bush administration knowingly exaggerated claims about weapons of mass destruction. And we look at Dick Cheney's later years—Liz Cheney’s role on the January 6th Committee to his own endorsement of Kamala Harris. 36:00 A new study out in Australia says hope may be the most powerful thing in your life, and that's a Bright Spot. The study from the Good News Network found hopeful individuals experience better health, stronger relationships, and greater success in education and work. The research shows that people who nurture hope are not only more resilient but also recover faster from setbacks and resist the pull of negativity. 40:00 We discuss a striking ripple effect of the “defund the police” movement—citizens increasingly turning to self-protection products. In China manufacturers are producing anti-stab or “urban protection wear” clothing, such as coats, shirts, and vests designed to resist knife attacks. Americans are feeling less safe and they're saying, "Whoa!" 41:30 And we end today's show with a story out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Teurlings Catholic High School celebrated a historic win against St. Thomas Moore on the football field. But what made the news was what happened after the game.

Representative Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) cautioned President Donald Trump not to use federal agencies such as the IRS to target political opponents, Knewz.com has learned. Speaking on SiriusXM's The Dan Abrams Show, McCormick said weaponizing government institutions against anyone, regardless of political affiliation, violates core constitutional principles and risks repeating past abuses of power.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
