Today's Headlines: President Trump finally announced that he signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act — though we still haven't actually seen the signature. AG Pam Bondi now has 30 days to release the files. Then, in true Trump escalation fashion, he hopped back online to call for the arrest and death penalty for several Democratic lawmakers — all military or intel veterans — after they released a video reminding service members not to follow illegal orders. Trump labeled it “seditious behavior, punishable by death!” The White House later tried to clean it up, insisting Trump does not want to execute Democrats. Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard quietly rewrote its policies so that swastikas, nooses, and Confederate flags are no longer “hate symbols” but merely “potentially divisive.” Nothing says troop readiness like officially pretending racism is a quirky personality trait. In New York, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is meeting Trump at the White House today — a meeting Mamdani's team requested, even as Trump is withholding $18 billion in federal funding for NYC infrastructure. Immigration crackdowns continue: A federal judge ruled Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to D.C. illegal — though the ruling is paused for 21 days so the administration can appeal. Meanwhile, the immigration sweep in North Carolina wrapped up with over 250 arrests, and the next wave of 250 federal agents is headed for New Orleans. The Department of Education also dropped its new student loan rules, recategorizing a bunch of very real, very necessary professions — nursing, social work, counseling, cybersecurity, engineering, OT, PA, teaching — as not professional degrees. The result, lower lifetime borrowing caps for the people we literally need the most. And lastly, the CDC's vaccine safety page has now been rewritten to align with RFK Jr.'s long-debunked conspiracy theories about vaccines and autism. Science is cancelled, apparently.

===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 21st Publish Date: November 21st Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Friday, November 21st and Happy Birthday to Stan The Man Musial I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb targets millions in federal funds to counter drones, boost World Cup security Smyrna denies five-story apartment building Interrogation videos highlight third day of trial for man accused of killing Acworth neighbors Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 10 STORY 1: Cobb targets millions in federal funds to counter drones, boost World Cup security Next summer, Cobb County will play host to international soccer teams prepping for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, one of the biggest sporting events ever. With Atlanta set to host eight matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Cobb will handle training, transportation, and fan events. But with that comes challenges—crowds, security, and logistics. To prepare, county officials are asking for Homeland Security grants to boost safety measures, including $7.5–$12 million for drone detection tech. Training sites? Atlanta United’s grounds in Marietta, KSU’s Fifth Third Stadium, and possibly Pace Academy. “The more popular the team, the bigger the crowds,” said Cobb EMA Director Cassie Mazloom. STORY 2: Smyrna denies five-story apartment building The Smyrna City Council shot down a rezoning request for a 250-unit apartment complex this week, with a 5-2 vote against the proposal. Wood Partners South Acquisitions LLC had pitched a five-story mixed-use development on 6.7 acres along Highlands Parkway, near Technology Court. The plan included 250 apartments—mostly one- and two-bedroom units—plus retail space, a pool, and a courtyard. Councilwoman Latonia Hines acknowledged the project’s quality but questioned the location. “It’s a great development—just not here,” she said. The Planning Board and city staff had already recommended denial, citing conflicts with the area’s industrial zoning. STORY 3: Interrogation videos highlight third day of trial for man accused of killing Acworth neighbors On the third day of Matthew Lanz’s murder trial, the defense finally had its turn. Lanz, now 26, sat quietly in a green jumpsuit, his hair unkempt, his face hidden behind a scruffy beard. Prosecutors played interrogation videos from 2021, where Lanz, then 22, denied killing his neighbors, Justin and Amber Hicks. “I didn’t murder them,” he said. “Someone murdered them.” The Hicks, both 31, were found shot to death in their home, their two-year-old son unharmed nearby. Lanz is accused of breaking in through a back window and pulling the trigger. The trial, a bench trial at the defense’s request, will hinge on Judge Sonja Brown’s decision. Prosecutors rested their case Wednesday, leaving the defense to decide if Lanz will testify. In one chilling video, Lanz asked police if Amber Hicks had been pregnant. She wasn’t, but his comment left the courtroom uneasy. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: State Senate election appears headed toward runoff It looks like Democrats Jaha Howard and Roger Bruce are headed for a runoff in the special election to fill the state Senate seat vacated by Jason Esteves. Unofficial results show Howard leading with 32.6% of the vote, followed by Bruce at 25.4%. The six-candidate race was a whirlwind, with just over a month to campaign. “We had to gear up in days,” Howard said, calling the campaign a “faith journey.” Bruce, a Capitol veteran with 22 years in the Georgia House, leaned on endorsements from big names like former Gov. Roy Barnes. The runoff is set for Dec. 16. STORY 5: Smyrna limits vape shop locations, approves Tolleson Aquatic Center contract This week, Smyrna’s City Council cracked down on vape shops, unanimously passing an ordinance to define and restrict them. “Right now, they’re just lumped in with general retail,” said Community Development Director Rusty Martin. “This lets us set some boundaries.” The new rules? Vape shops—defined as retailers primarily selling alternative nicotine or vapor products—can’t open within 1,000 feet of another vape shop, schools, or daycares. In other council news, Arrow Waste got the green light (6-1) for a temporary office on Riverview Road, despite concerns about a nearby fuel tank. Also approved: a $16.23M contract for the Tolleson Aquatic Center, set to open in 2027. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice We’ll have closing comments after this.

Tune in here to this Thursday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show by discussing a terrifying story he broke on social media today involving Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. The story involved a student at Palisades High School who was found carrying an AR-15 rifle with dozens of rounds of ammunition at a school bus stop. Once witnesses saw the gun, the student ran from responding officers and was ultimately found hiding at a residence and arrested. Nobody was injured in the situation. Jensen notes that had the witnesses not alerted authorities, the situation could have ended far worse once the student arrived at school. He adds that Charlotte could have potentially been thrust into the national news spotlight for the second time this week. Jensen also mentions that, according to North Carolina state law, the student can be charged as an adult. However, Mecklenburg County has a track record of not charging students involved in crimes as adults. Later, Jensen shares two statements released today - one from Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles and another from the Department of Homeland Security. Both statements refer to the ongoing Border Patrol operation that has been underway since Saturday in the Queen City. In her statement, Lyles calls the operation an “intrusion” on the city, saying residents and businesses were “targeted” by agents who have been detaining people in the country illegally. Jensen further points out that this statement, similar to some of her recent ones, appears to have been composed by artificial intelligence based on its formatting. The statement from a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson says roughly 370 people in the country illegally have been detained and emphasizes that the operation in Charlotte “is not over.” This is significant to the ongoing status of the operation, especially because Lyles’ statement implied that Border Patrol had “ceased operations” in the city.

Democrats have screwed the pooch in many areas. Below are just a few revelations of interest:1. In 2024, the GAO documented that Department of Homeland Security officials were instructed to suppress internal data showing that the majority of “white supremacist violence” cases were not political at all, and often not white. Meaning Democrats inflated a panic out of thin air — again.2. BLM's 2020–2022 fundraising and real estate acquisitions exceeded $90 million, yet less than 10% of those funds were distributed to Black communities. Turns out the real emergency wasn't police brutality — it was BLM's accounting department.3. Multiple FOIA disclosures from 2023–24 revealed that federal agencies coordinated with social media platforms to amplify certain “crisis narratives,” including climate and COVID content, even when internal scientists rejected those claims. Manufactured chaos, government edition.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
A New York Times story alleges the Department of Homeland Security is ignoring large parts of its mission to focus on deportations. John Cohen, ABC News consultant and former Homeland Security official, explains why these operations are happening.
You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 19, 2025. 0:30 We walk through one of Donald Trump’s most brilliant strategic maneuvers—one the media will never credit him for and Democrats will swear was pure coincidence. Trump didn’t demand the release of the Epstein files, didn’t beat the drum, didn’t turn it into a rally chant. He hesitated just enough to send Democrats into full Trump-Derangement overdrive, convincing themselves they were “standing up” to him. And in that frenzy, Democrats in the House voted unanimously to release documents that could expose their own donors, their own Hollywood friends, and, as newly revealed, even their own party leader, Hakeem Jeffries. 9:30 Plus we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer has announced he's running for Governor of California next year. The Department of Homeland Security has issued a Civil Emergency for Broadview, Illinois where pro-illegal alien activists have been rioting outside of an ICE facility. Federal Judge Orlando L. Garcia is ordering teachers in Texas to remove posters displaying the 10 Commandments from classrooms across the state. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Even in Congress there are still supposed to be some basic standards of conduct, especially when you’re representing the United States abroad. Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to restore that sense of honor. After an alcohol-related incident during an official trip to Mexico Rep. Dan Crenshaw from Texas, has been banned from international travel for three months. 16:00 The American Mamas tackle a difficult listener question: When a couple divorces, should they tell the kids if infidelity was involved? Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson explore different perspectives on honesty, timing, protecting children, and how to handle complicated situations when emotions are high. The conversation highlights how every family’s circumstances are different — and why compassion and careful communication matter. 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. 22:30 We dive into the surprising public reunion between Elon Musk and former President Trump, reacting to their renewed friendliness and the buzz surrounding it. 25:00 We Dig Deep into President Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education—and how Education Secretary Linda McMahon is quietly making it happen piece by piece. Instead of just flipping off the lights and walking away, McMahon is moving programs into agencies where they actually make sense. We're walking you through why the Department of Education never lived up to its mission, how test scores have slid since its creation in 1979, and why so many states and parents want control returned to the local level. 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 dive into the growing national uproar over the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny as the next Super Bowl halftime performer—months before the game even kicks off. We break down comments from Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, and we debate whether Bad Bunny is even on the same level as past performers. 35:30 Plus, Warren Buffet's annual Berkshire Hathaway letter is a real Bright Spot. At 95, Buffett shares lessons that go beyond money. He reminds us to forgive ourselves for past mistakes, choose the best role models, and to live a life that you can be proud of. Work harder on yourself than on your job, because greatness isn’t about money, fame, or power—it’s about helping others. And the kicker? Kindness is costless—but priceless. Greatness comes from the way you treat people, not how much you earn or the headlines you make. Buffett’s advice is simple, timeless, and actionable. 40:00 We break down Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s recent comments about President Trump and his supporters, calling them “a cult” and questioning why anyone would back him. She seems to completely misunderstand what they stand for, and that's okay. Confidence and conviction matter, and you can’t let critics or mockery shake you from standing firm in your beliefs. But if anybody votes for Jasmine Crockett, we're saying, "whoa." 41:30 And we finish off with one of the most famous speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address.

As the Trump administration's deportation campaign has ramped up, so too have the number of federal officers and agents wearing masks. That's according to Atlantic staff writer Nick Miroff, who says that face coverings have become “a standard accessory for federal immigration enforcement, and a symbol of the mass-deportation campaign that is Trump's top domestic-policy initiative.” In a rebuke, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a new law banning the use of masks by federal agents in the state, but questions about its enforceability remain as the administration challenges the law with a new suit filed Monday. We talk to Miroff about what masking means for public trust in law enforcement. His new piece is called “Why They Mask.” Guests: Nick Miroff, staff writer covering immigration, the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S.-Mexico border, The Atlantic Learn more about your ad choices.

"The thing that people don't get about fentanyl is that almost no one seeks fentanyl ... most people who use drugs are avoiding fentanyl like the plague." NCITE Assistant Research Professor Alex Bruens, Ph.D., sits down with Jake Braun, member of the NCITE expert consortium and author of the new book, "Fentanyl: Fighting the Mass Poisoning of America and the Cartel Behind It."

When voter rolls fail, who's really running the show? Tara dives into the shocking story of newly elected Kansas mayor Joe Ciballos, who turns out to be a Mexican citizen and not legally eligible to hold office—or even vote in federal elections. Facing multiple felony charges for voting fraud and election perjury, his case exposes gaps in voter verification, the consequences of past executive orders, and the hidden challenges in safeguarding American elections. In this episode, Tara uncovers the extraordinary case of Kansas mayor Joe Ciballos: The Discovery: Coldwater Mayor Joe Ciballos, a Mexican citizen and legal permanent resident, was elected despite being ineligible to vote or hold office in the U.S. Legal Fallout: Ciballos now faces multiple felony charges, including voting without citizenship and election perjury, while federal authorities may pursue further immigration fraud charges. Voter Roll Verification: The case highlights the effectiveness of the Trump-era national citizenship database, which Kansas recently implemented to identify noncitizen voters. Broader Implications: Tara discusses how past executive actions under the Biden administration prevented routine verification of voter rolls against Social Security and Homeland Security databases, allowing millions of noncitizens—including thousands on terror watch lists—to receive Social Security numbers and access programs. Systemic Risks: The episode explores the hidden vulnerabilities in election systems, the influence of “shadow” voters, and the urgency of restoring integrity to elections before future federal, state, and local races. Takeaway: While the Ciballos case is alarming, Tara emphasizes that this discovery shows proactive measures can work—and underscores the importance of vigilance, verification, and accountability in protecting American democracy.

Donald Trump's brain has completely the process of completely breaking down after the breathtaking losses that Republicans suffered in this week's election. Following their embarrassing defeats, Trump met with Senate Republicans this week to discuss reopening the government, but he couldn't stop himself from veering off course to talk about things that aren't even real. The man is absolutely off his rocker, to put it gently.A very panicked Steve Bannon begged Donald Trump this week to do everything in his power to overturn the massive electoral victories that Democrats achieved on Tuesday. Bannon is urging Trump to use the Department of Justice to challenge election results, in spite of the fact that there's zero evidence that anything out of the ordinary happened. Bannon was so cocky a week ago when he claimed Trump would serve a third term, but a healthy dose of reality has turned him into a whiny baby. Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security decided to mock a woman who wrote an op-ed for USA Today over the fact that her husband - who is in the country LEGALLY - has been detained for weeks by ICE. Noem's department falsely claims that the man, a British journalist, was supporting terrorist organizations, even though they have failed to provide a shred of evidence to support this claim. The agency is in the business of cruelty, and we all need to realize that they are pure evil. This week's electoral losses for the Republican Party appear to have been a wake up call to many members of the GOP - including those INSIDE Trump's administration. According to a new report, this "the emperor has no clothes" moment could cause some of Trump's most trusted insiders to turn against him, or at the very least start providing a little more pushback against his insane plans and goals.

Today's Headlines: It's Election Day for nearly half the country, with record early turnout in New York City — over 735,000 voters — and key races for governors in New Jersey and Virginia, plus major ballot questions in California and Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, a small bipartisan group in Congress is maybe edging toward a deal to end the weeks-long government shutdown, which has crippled air travel and left millions unsure when they'll receive SNAP benefits. After two court orders, the Trump administration says it'll partially fund food assistance, though payments could still be delayed for weeks. Trump's team is also reportedly drawing up plans for a potential U.S. military mission in Mexico targeting drug cartels (because what could go wrong?). The Department of Homeland Security wants states to hand over driver's license data to help identify noncitizens on voter rolls, sparking privacy alarms. In California, ICE shot a 25-year-old U.S. citizen who'd stopped to warn officers that children would soon arrive nearby — the second ICE shooting there this week. Elsewhere, a watchdog report revealed that most donors to Trump's new ballroom are government contractors who've scored $279 billion in deals despite ongoing investigations for labor and environmental violations. OpenAI just inked a $38 billion deal to rent Amazon's computing power. And rounding out the chaos, Rep. Nancy Mace reportedly went off on TSA agents at a South Carolina airport, she of course claims it's all fake news.
