Tara's Halloween special starts with spine-chilling listener stories of haunted houses, ghostly hands, and flying glass—but the real horror lies in Washington. From Trump's push to eliminate the Senate filibuster and navigate government shutdowns, to cartel bounties targeting ICE officials and the unprecedented scope of FBI surveillance on Republican campaigns, Tara unpacks a political landscape scarier than any ghost story. With officials moving onto military bases for safety and secret subpoenas sweeping through banks, tech companies, and conservative organizations, the line between politics and terror blurs this Halloween
While the media obsesses over politics, a far more serious story is being ignored. Thousands of Christians are being slaughtered in Nigeria, yet the world remains silent. I uncover why the mainstream refuses to report it, and how this spiritual blindness ties directly to the larger battle unfolding in America. From Trump's counterrevolution against global corruption to the church's call to occupy every gate of influence, this moment demands clarity, courage, and prayer like never before.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 24, 2025. 0:30 Has James Carville finally gone off the deep end? We react to the “Ragin’ Cajun’s” shocking rant, where he fantasizes about shaving the heads of Trump supporters, dressing them in orange jumpsuits, and parading them down Pennsylvania Avenue to be spat upon. And we unpack the left’s obsession with public shaming and “thought crimes" and thechilling parallels to Orwell’s 1984 and the real-world silencing of conservatives during the COVID era. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump has terminated all trade negotiations with Canada over a TV ad that features a clip of President Ronald Reagan seemingly denouncing tariffs. Inflation ticked up a bit in September, but not as much as was expected. The USS Gerald Ford Aircraft Group is moving into the Caribbean sea as the US is ramping up military strikes against drug runners coming from South America. 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 dig into the spiritual sickness spreading through half of America: a willful blindness where truth, logic, and reason no longer matter, only outrage. From Trump Derangement Syndrome to a culture that prizes victimhood over virtue, we explore how emotion has replaced truth on the left. 16:30 We ask American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — how they can be okay with Donald Trump tearing down part of the White House. We unpack the latest round of media outrage, sparked by Trump’s privately funded ballroom project. From Chelsea Clinton’s dramatic tweets to Hakeem Jeffries’ call for an investigation, we dig into the hypocrisy surrounding presidential renovations. Nearly every president—from Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama—has left their mark on the White House. So why is it suddenly a scandal when President Trump does the same? 23:00 House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is endorsing Zoran Mamdani—a New York politician so far left, he makes Bernie Sanders look like Milton Friedman. We unpack Mamdani’s extremist rhetoric, including his call to “globalize the Intifada,” and what that really means for Jewish communities at home and abroad. 25:30 What exactly is the “Trump Doctrine”? It's simple: be nice to me, I’ll be nice to you — cross me, and you’ll regret it. We break down President Trump’s decision to hold off on deploying the National Guard to crime-ridden San Francisco after a respectful call from the city’s Democratic mayor, Daniel Lurie. It's a perfect example of Trump’s “tit-for-tat” strategy in action — strength tempered by reason, toughness balanced with generosity. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 Canada just got a cold dose of the Trump Doctrine. We break down the fallout after Ontario Premier Doug Ford pulled a $75 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign that deceptively used Ronald Reagan’s words to attack U.S. tariffs. Turns out, the ad violated Canadian law — and when Trump found out, he didn’t just hit back, he shut down the negotiations altogether. 36:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From Trump flyingan F-16 and dumping poo on protestors, to a White House ballroom ball pit, and a Democrat Senate candidate's Nazi tattoo, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 40:30 As the media piles on ICE once again, we take a step back to ask a simple question: what’s to hate about enforcing the law? From sanctuary city standoffs to repeat offenders shielded by politics, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has become a symbol of accountability in an age of chaos. It's not cruelty — it’s common sense — and that Americans are finally saying “whoa” to open borders and lawlessness. 42:00 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about the White House.

Jon Herold closes out the week with a fiery Friday edition of The Daily Herold, balancing humor, live digs, and deep political insight. After a few sponsor shoutouts to Badlands favorites, Jon dives into Steve Bannon's viral “Trump 2028” clip and breaks down how the 22nd Amendment, election fraud, and George Washington's precedent all tie into the debate over presidential term limits. He then explores Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray's signatures on the “Arctic Frost” investigation, exposing how the DOJ's actions prove political persecution against Trump. From Trump's upcoming meeting with Xi Jinping to Canada's Reagan ad controversy and the 62,000 CDL licenses issued to illegal immigrants in California, Jon connects it all to government corruption, hypocrisy, and broken systems. Despite calling it a “slow news day,” this episode proves that when it comes to political double standards, there's never a dull moment in the Badlands.

Bubble or not? But the debate that's been raging over the current AI exuberance might be missing the bigger point. Yes, of course, it's a trillion-dollar speculative bubble built around AI start-ups that mostly remain unprofitable. But as I note in my weekly tech conversation with That Was The Week publisher Keith Teare (who is significantly more optimistic than me), it's more than just another Silicon Valley bubble. From the Trump family's multi-trillion dollar cryptocurrency speculation to an increasingly pervasive online sports gambling culture (especially amongst young Americans), the new epidemic in America is one of speculation. A hundred years after the Roaring Twenties we are back where we started. I don't know how it will end. Maybe there will be a 21st century version of Warren Harding's Teapot Dome Scandal, maybe another Wall Street Crash. But I guarantee you two things: It will end, and that ending won't be pretty - neither for America nor for the world. I'm even betting on it. 1. The Speculation Epidemic Goes Beyond AI This isn't just about artificial intelligence. From Trump family cryptocurrency ventures to the explosion of online sports gambling among young Americans, speculation has become the defining characteristic of American economic culture. AI is merely the most visible manifestation of a broader shift toward betting on the future.2. The State and Silicon Valley Have Merged Under the Trump administration, particularly with David Sacks as AI and crypto czar, government and tech investors have formed an unprecedented partnership—or as I suggest, a “marriage.” Regulatory barriers are being removed to facilitate rapid AI infrastructure development, marking a shift toward economic nationalism where the state's fate is tied directly to tech industry success.3. This Bubble is Different (But Still a Bubble) Unlike the dot-com boom or tulip mania, today's AI investments are backed by massive actual revenues—NVIDIA generated $130.5 billion with 114% year-over-year growth. The money isn't entirely self-generating; real revenue exists alongside speculative investment. Yet trillion-dollar valuations for unprofitable startups like OpenAI and Anthropic still raise legitimate bubble concerns.4. Venture Capital Doesn't Scale—And That's Normal As venture capitalist Rulof Botha notes, VC isn't really an asset class because only the top 10% of funds make money. Too much capital is chasing too few potential winners. This has always been true of venture capital, and most AI investments will fail. The question is whether AI will be like the internet (transformative) or interactive TV (a dud).5. The Ending is Inevitable and Uncertain Keith and I agree corrections will happen, but disagree on the scale and meaning. Keith sees “systemic uplift” with temporary setbacks. I see potential catastrophe—perhaps a 21st-century Teapot Dome scandal or another Wall Street Crash. What's certain: this speculative fever will end, and given historical precedent, that ending is unlikely to be gentle.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

A historic peace deal abroad, chaos at home.From Trump's historic peace mission in the Middle East to the possibility of a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, this episode of New Frontiers dives into how Trump's diplomacy reshaped global alliances and challenged decades of U.S. foreign policy. Paul Johnson and his panel explore the shifting Arab support for Israel, the media's portrayal of Israel as the aggressor, and whether a true two-state solution is finally within reach — or just another short-term truce.Back home, the discussion turns to America's deepening divisions, the debate over deploying federal troops, and the controversy surrounding ICE and immigration enforcement. The panel also dissects Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's military speech, the Arizona gubernatorial race, and Kamala Harris's post-election reflections — all while asking one central question: Can America find peace abroad if it can't find peace at home?

Ashe in America, Zak Paine, and Ghost take the helm of Badlands Daily for a historic morning following President Trump's unprecedented Middle East peace deal. From Trump's powerful speech before the Knesset to Netanyahu's uneasy alliance and the booing that erupted at public appearances, the hosts dissect every geopolitical signal in real time. Ghost breaks down the regional power shifts between Qatar, Egypt, and Israel, while Ashe and Zak connect the dots between media manipulation, globalist backlash, and America's quiet role in reshaping the world order.

Chuck Todd breaks down the latest political and global chaos as the government shutdown drags on with no resolution in sight—because, as he puts it, “nothing moves without Trump.” From Trump’s trade threats against China and his transactional diplomacy in the Middle East to Netanyahu’s political freefall in Israel, the episode examines how American and global politics are increasingly driven by short-term leverage over long-term stability. Todd also exposes how Trump’s team has weaponized government institutions—from Russ Vought’s reckless layoffs to Pam Bondi’s politicized DOJ—and how Trump’s online behavior, including an embarrassing Truth Social blunder, raises national security concerns. With the rule of law eroding and America’s moral authority slipping away, Chuck warns that the U.S. may be entering an era where power, not principle, defines governance. Finally, Chuck goes back to the 1987 market crash in the ToddCast Time Machine to compare the conditions then to current market conditions, answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment, and gives his college football update.

With the rule of law eroding and America’s moral authority slipping away, Chuck warns that the U.S. may be entering an era where power, not principle, defines governance. Then, Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi joins Chuck to assess an economy that looks strong on paper—but feels weak for most Americans. While the top third of earners are doing well, lower-income households are tightening their belts as consumer spending slows and job creation stagnates. Zandi warns of a 30–40% chance of a recession by 2026, citing the drag from federal job cuts, the drying up of COVID relief funds, and the destabilizing effects of rising tariffs and electricity costs. They also dig into the booming—but risky—AI sector, where soaring valuations and limited job growth may be setting up the next market correction. Gold prices are surging, commercial real estate is slumping, and housing shortages are widening for middle-class renters. With Americans increasingly unable to move for better opportunities and faith in Washington deteriorating, Zandi and Todd explore whether the U.S. economy can remain the world’s “safe haven” — or if 2026 could be the year that confidence finally cracks. Finally, Chuck goes back to the 1987 market crash in the ToddCast Time Machine to compare the conditions then to current market conditions, answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment, and gives his college football update.

In this special nighttime edition, Ghost dives deep into breaking news of a historic peace deal between Hamas and Israel, brokered under President Trump's leadership. From Trump's 20-point plan and Netanyahu's uneasy alliance to the reactions from Mahmoud Abbas, Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, Ghost unpacks every angle of what could mark the beginning of a lasting peace, or the next geopolitical storm.

Michael Wolff returns with Joanna Coles for a blistering look at the latest fractures inside Trump's MAGA coalition. From Trump's resurfacing of Epstein anxieties and his strange new pardon predicament with Ghislaine Maxwell, to his growing unease over Israel and the rise of Christian nationalism, Wolff sketches a portrait of a president losing control of the populist movement he created. The Daily Beast's Chief Content Officer Joanna Coles presses Wolff on Tucker Carlson's ambitions, online swirling Charlie Kirk conspiracies, and J.D. Vance's quiet maneuvering for power. Together, they dissect how Trump's cult of loyalty is turning on itself and why his old tactics may finally be failing. Is Trump still the master of the MAGA hivemind, or has he become just another voice in the chaos he unleashed? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From Trump's talk of “great healthcare deals” to GOP lawmakers agreeing to extend costly Obamacare-era subsidies, he argues it's all political theater—more spending, no reform. With both parties feeding the insurance industry and pushing America deeper into debt, Chris warns that Washington's “solutions” only make the real problem worse.
Jon Herold kicks off a busy Tuesday with a mix of real talk and real noise, literally, as home renovations compete with headlines. From Trump's latest executive orders to the explosive new Illinois directive under the Insurrection Act, Herold breaks down how federal forces are stepping in where blue-state governors refuse to act. He dives into the growing Charlie Kirk controversy, with Candace Owens' leaked messages now confirmed as authentic, and calls out the media's selective silence. Then it's back to geopolitics and corruption as Jon exposes Biden's suppressed CIA report on Ukraine and Burisma, showing how the seeds of scandal were planted long before his presidency. Add in the Gaza peace talks, Trump's tireless work ethic, and fresh election integrity revelations, and you've got another sharp, unfiltered Tuesday edition of The Daily Herold.
Jon Herold and Zak Paine return for another wild ride through the week's most explosive conspiracies. From Trump's talk of invoking the Insurrection Act and cracking down on lawless blue states to new developments in the mysterious death of Charlie Kirk, the hosts dissect the narratives, leaks, and logic gaps the media won't touch. They break down ballistic inconsistencies, donor drama, and digital breadcrumbs while debating whether the official story adds up, or if a much deeper cover-up is unfolding. Along the way, they spotlight the latest revelations about FBI surveillance, Israeli data collection, and the growing war between truth-tellers and controlled opposition. With sharp analysis and trademark humor, this episode connects the dots in the chaos, reminding listeners why no conspiracy is ever truly “baseless.”
You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 7, 2025. 0:30 We kick off today's episode with rising threats against the U.S. Supreme Court and the erosion of respect for law and order. From the near-assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh to President Biden’s past comments on court reform, we trace a dangerous trend of intimidation against the judiciary and warn what’s at stake for the Constitution itself. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump sent in the California National Guard into Portland to help restore law and order. The US Supreme Court began it's 2025-2026 session today. Texas Congressman Wesley Hunt is running for Senate. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We break down Speaker Mike Johnson’s fiery press conference and his firm but measured leadership style. Despite critics calling him too soft, Johnson delivered a calm “master class” in conservative conviction—standing on principle, not personality. We unpack how Speaker Johnson’s quiet strength and fact-based approach are reshaping the tone in Washington and frustrating Democrats who want political theater over progress. 16:00 Who’s wearing the Cringe Crown this week? Our American Mamas—Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson—hand out their signature award for the week’s most awkward, out-of-touch moments in politics and pop culture. This time, the whole Left takes the crown after a meme war gone wrong. From Trump’s viral sombrero meme to Hakeem Jeffries’ attempted comeback and Gavin Newsom’s painfully unfunny JD Vance edit, the Mamas break down why conservative humor hits while leftist memes fall flat. 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 Jersey-bound flight takes a bizarre turn after an unhinged passenger—wearing twelve face masks—starts shouting that “gay people are giving me cancer” and “Trump is here.” On today’s American Ground Radio, we talk about how incidents like this point to a much deeper problem in America: our growing mental health crisis. 26:30 Leaked text messages reveal Democrat candidate Jay Jones joked about murdering the Republican Speaker of the House and wishing harm on his wife and children. Even more disturbing—Jones admitted to sending the texts, and yet Democrat leaders are still standing by him. We Dig Deep the moral decay behind this story, ask why the media isn’t holding Jones accountable, and draw a stark contrast between real leadership and political extremism. 32:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has declared his city an “ICE-free zone,” effectively banning federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from operating in Chicago. But can a mayor really defy federal law? 36:00 Plus, we will be joining an all-star lineup for the New York City Mayor’s Race Town Hall, hosted by Salem Media Group and streaming live on Eventbrite. This upcoming mayoral election could shape politics nationwide—especially as progressive candidate Mamdani pushes radical ideas like city-run grocery stores and legalized prostitution. We explain why New York’s political direction matters far beyond city limits and what it means for America’s financial and cultural future. 40:30 We dive into the latest twist in U.S. foreign policy — former President Donald Trump’s surprising announcement that he plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and may consider sending long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. President Trump seems to be onto Putin, and when he uses his “you treat me badly, I'll treat you worse than could possibly imagine” policy, Putin's gonna say, "Whoa." 42:30 And we finish off with a local cook who checked in on a regular customer and saved his life.

A-BLOCK (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: TRUMP SUDDENLY SPECULATES ABOUT LIFE WITHOUT HIM: From anybody else it would be trivia. From Trump this is startling. Buried in an ordinary narcissistic flight: "It'll be very unfair in the future when they (Republicans) don't have Trump to fight for them." That quote, might be the biggest headline Trump has made this year and it sailed RIGHT past the American news media yesterday. What in the HELL did he mean by that and more importantly why did he suddenly acknowledge there is an end, maybe soon? After being MIA for five days – no live public viewing of him, just one video that according to White House time stamps took more than two hours to produce even though it only required him to try to speak for a minute-ten… he EMERGED with what was, even for him, such an utterly bizarre and especially vulnerable admission. He was out of view for FIVE DAYS. FIVE. From that bizarre “please clap” speech before the Generals at Quantico on Tuesday – the Pete Hegseth International Day of Military Hair Care Symposium and Product Sampling – through yesterday morning when he managed to stagger out of the White House, blast a series of non sequitirs at the press pool, and then go to another military celebration for which we have the money even in the middle of his shutdown of the government. Nobody asked: HOW have you been, WHERE have you been, WHAT are they treating you for, WHAT does that "when they don't have (you) to fight for them" quote mean? Because again, as in the week he went MIA at the beginning of LAST month, nobody had a clue what would take a man with compulsive talking disease and an ego so large it has own it zip code, from appearing in front of crowds and cameras for FIVE DAYS. And THEN Trump went in front of the Navy and said he warned about Osama Bin Laden last year, and told Pete Hegseth about it a year before 9/11, and claimed he was president in 2016 but they fixed the 2016 election, but they ran it again and he "got 250." What. In The Hell. Is Wrong. With Trump’s Health? B-Block (27:44) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: A $1 Trump coin? Ten cents per chin? Ian Miles Cheong doesn't think they'll eat his face. Noem and Lewandowski think they'll find undocumented immigrants attending the Super Bowl. And Kristi really has to go to the toilet. THIS IS OFFICIAL BUSINESS! C-Block (38:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Well, here we are. Fifty years ago Tuesday night, at 11:15 PM, I did my first broadcast on an actual radio station with advertisers and listeners. I was 16 and it's not bad for 16 and for the fact that my much older colleagues at WVBR-FM did a superb job of hazing me. And yes, that first broadcast is still extant, as you'll hear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
CannCon and Chris Paul team up to cut through the noise on day three of the government shutdown. From Trump's meeting with Russ Vought and the unprecedented chance to slash bloated federal agencies, to Cash Patel's bombshell confirmation that Pelosi refused National Guard support on January 6th, this episode is stacked with revelations. The hosts expose the FBI's covert presence inside the Capitol, Pelosi's HBO film crew, and the media's role in covering up the inside job. They also dig into Trump's strategic trolling of Project 2025 critics, the Democrats' crumbling narratives, and what a true “return to normalcy” in America should look like. With sharp analysis and no-holds-barred banter, CannCon and Chris Paul make clear that the dam is breaking, and the Deep State is running out of time.
In today's episode, Lee and Tara break down what they call “Schumer's Shutdown Playtime” — a high-stakes battle over government funding, illegal immigrant healthcare, and Trump's newly reinforced executive powers. With viral TikTok videos exposing Democrat missteps and everyday Americans voicing raw frustrations, the shutdown fight is spilling far beyond Washington. From Trump's trolling masterclass to the surprising voices reshaping the debate online, this episode dives into how Democrats may be losing their own base while Republicans fight back in ways we've never seen before.
You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone.

We take a look at the history of poverty rates in America, from the steady post-WWII decline to the plateau that began after LBJ’s Great Society programs. 9:45 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu was in New York City today to address the United Nations. The Department of Transportation is cracking down on fraudulently issued commercial drivers licenses. Three Muslim men have been arrested for the shooting of a Christian Baseball coach in Texas. 12:30 We react to Michigan congressional candidate Shelby Campbell’s viral video that mocked the assassination of Charlie Kirk. 15:06 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson take on a listener question: what advice do you have for leftists who get triggered by conservative posts online? Their answer is simple — just keep scrolling. 22:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

The document includes anonymous complaints from FBI agents about events before, during, and after January 6. 32:38 We break down the Trump administration’s latest push to have the U.S. Supreme Court revisit the constitutionality of birthright citizenship. Is it time for the Supreme Court to restore clarity and common sense? 35:26 Plus, it's Fake News Friday!

Burning Bright welcomes Jordan Sather for a fast-moving exploration of accelerationism, information warfare, and the collapsing narratives of the regime. They dig into the idea that society is being intentionally sped up, politically, culturally, and spiritually, to force breaking points that expose corruption and awaken the public. From Trump's “paper tiger” comments about Russia to the fallout of Charlie Kirk's assassination and the Tylenol–autism firestorm, the conversation ties together psyops, censorship, and cultural chaos as tools of both control and revelation. Jordan brings sharp insight on how narratives are weaponized across media and geopolitics, while Burning Bright emphasizes first principles and spiritual grounding as the antidote to manipulation. Together, they ask whether acceleration is a trap, a strategy, or both, and how individuals can navigate the storm without losing discernment.
In this month's “Molly Harry Mashup,” Harry and Molly Jong-Fast break down the whirlwind of political and legal chaos under the current administration. From Trump's clash with Jimmy Kimmel and his obsession with the Nobel Peace Prize, to the unraveling of DOJ norms and the erosion of the Constitution, to the bizarro Trump vaccine claim, Molly and Harry cut through the noise to explain what's really happening in the political AND legal worlds—and why it matters.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Texas, Gavin Newsom's taunts against federal immigration agents, a trillion-dollar bet on artificial intelligence, and surprising medical news about how common drugs damage the gut. From political violence in Dallas to AI schemes and gut health science, today's brief delivers facts and analysis shaping America's future. ICE Facility Shooting in Dallas: Joshua Jahn, 29, opened fire on an ICE building with a Mauser-style rifle, killing one illegal alien and injuring two others before taking his own life. He left behind ammo marked “Anti-ICE” and had ties to Communist views similar to his leftist sister. Bryan warns the pattern echoes other recent attacks: “From Trump's assassin in Butler, PA… to Charlie Kirk's killer… these platforms like Steam and Discord are being used to groom young men into violence.” Newsom Taunts ICE After Signing Five Bills: California Governor Gavin Newsom declared, “To ICE, unmask yourselves. What are you afraid of?” on Colbert's show, less than 24 hours before the Dallas attack. Leftist groups in California are doxxing ICE officers with help from AI activists in Europe, while Democrats push to weaken federal deportation powers. Bryan argues this is about political power, not civil rights: “Schumer and Pelosi said it themselves — they want illegals turned into citizens for votes and control.” The AI Revolution's Cost and Scheming Risks: OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank pledged $500 billion for new U.S. data centers, with utilities warning of grid strain and soaring bills. While AI is helping detect Parkinson's and cancers, researchers admit models are “scheming” — purposely failing to hide competence. Bryan quips, “We're spending a trillion dollars to create systems that lie, hallucinate, and dumb down doctors.” Common Medications Alter Gut Health for Years: Estonian researchers found antidepressants, beta-blockers, proton pump inhibitors, and benzodiazepines disrupt the gut microbiome as severely as antibiotics. Effects persist long after use, raising risks for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. Bryan advises, “If you're on meds, don't forget about your belly — diet, sleep, and exercise matter.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Dallas ICE facility shooting Joshua Jahn, Anti-ICE ammo Mauser rifle, Discord Steam radicalization grooming, Gavin Newsom Colbert ICE taunt, California ICE officer doxxing AI, Schumer Pelosi immigration citizenship votes, OpenAI Oracle SoftBank Stargate $500B, AI data center electricity water grid strain, AI scheming OpenAI ChatGPT, Estonia gut microbiome drugs study, antidepressants beta-blockers proton pump inhibitors benzos, long-term gut health risks cancer Alzheimer's
In this fiery episode of the Opie Radio podcast, Opie dives into the heated controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel's return to ABC after a suspension that sparked a nationwide debate. With clips from Kimmel's pitch-perfect monologue, Opie unpacks the battle over free speech, the First Amendment, and the role of comedians in pushing boundaries. From Trump's threats to sue ABC to the FCC's murky involvement, Opie explores the hypocrisy, corporate pressures, and the importance of standing up for the right to speak—whether you agree with the message or not. Joined by a lively chat, Opie reflects on his own experiences with censorship, calls for common ground, and questions whether Kimmel will defend others' rights when the tables turn. Tune in for a raw, unfiltered take on what makes America great: the freedom to say what you believe, even when it's ugly. Don't miss this explosive discussion—available now on Opie Radio!
Jon Herold dives into a busy Wednesday show, starting with YouTube's half-hearted admission of censorship and why celebrating their limited reinstatements is nothing more than gaslighting. He then unpacks Trump's dramatic pivot on Ukraine, calling Russia a “paper tiger” while hinting at deeper game theory behind the rhetoric—sparking even a bizarre Kremlin response claiming Russia is a “real bear.” From Trump's jabs at NATO and the UN to speculation about leaving both altogether, the episode digs into the global stage, defense stocks, and the new F47 fighter jet. Jon also covers Jimmy Kimmel's emotional apology over Charlie Kirk, the Dallas ICE facility shooting with “anti-ICE” bullets, Secret Service failures at the UN, and a major FOIA release of Detroit's 2020 election records. With sharp commentary on shutdown standoffs, antitrust corruption, and home sales data, Herold ties the day's headlines into the bigger battle over truth, control, and sovereignty.

But the group noted that “In exceptional circumstances, consideration will be given to financing upstream gas in the poorest countries where there is a clear benefit in terms of energy access for the poor and the project fits within the countries' Paris Agreement commitments.” The Trump Administration is advocating for the World Bank to increase its financing for oil and gas projects, a reversal of its previous policy to cease funding new fossil fuel ventures after 2019. This push prioritizes energy security, especially for upstream gas developments, and also extends to other development banks to finance fossil fuel projects. The U.S. is also pushing other development banks to finance fossil fuels, including gas pipeline projects, according to FT's sources. In recent years, the World Bank and many commercial banks have backed out of lending money to some fossil fuels, including coal, oil sands, and Arctic oil and gas. Banks were under intense shareholder and stakeholder pressure to cut their exposure to fossil fuels and align their lending portfolios to the Paris Agreement goals. But the tables have turned with the U.S. Administration strongly promoting fossil fuels and America's dominance in oil and gas exports.

And much of it has happened far from the corridors of power and, unsurprisingly, through Trump's posts on social media.
In the second episode of our Trade series, Nick and Goldy talk with author Nat Dyer about his book Ricardo's Dream: How Economists Forgot the Real World and Led Us Astray. Dyer reveals how David Ricardo's famous theory of comparative advantage—long touted as proof that free trade is always a win-win—was built on unrealistic assumptions and a false history. They trace how this elegant but misleading model fueled globalization, masked exploitation, and locked nations into centuries of stagnation. From Trump's tariff tantrums to Biden's “small yard, high fence” strategy, their conversation challenges the myths of free trade and asks: when does trade strengthen societies, and when does it doom them to decline? Nat Dyer is a writer and researcher specializing in global political economy and author of the book Ricardo's Dream: How Economists Forgot the Real World and Led Us Astray. He is a Fellow of the Schumacher Institute and the Royal Society of Arts. He has worked for Global Witness and for Promoting Economic Pluralism, and his stories have been reported on by the BBC, the New York Times, and Bloomberg.

Tom Bilyeu and Producer Drew dive headfirst into the week's most controversial headlines and social flashpoints. From Trump's theatrical show of force with Putin in Alaska and diplomatic strategies around the Russia-Ukraine conflict, to France's far-right politics under Marine Le Pen, the conversation pulls back the curtain on global power plays and shifting cultural tides. But that's not all—they break down viral internet debates, including the explosive “Black conservatives vs. Black radical” showdown on Jubilee, unpack the tragic story of a French streamer's death live on camera, and take on the swirling controversies surrounding Mr. Beast's record-breaking charity stream. The duo also doesn't shy away from raw relationship talk, tackling a deeply personal “sexless marriage” dilemma with Tom sharing hard-won marriage advice straight from his own life. With unapologetically bold takes, sharp humor, and real talk about values, culture, and transformation, this episode delivers a rollercoaster of insight and hot takes you won't want to miss.
