Election officials in Honduras have named the winner of the country's presidential election, after more than three weeks of counting the votes. And, in a year of record breaking immigration enforcement, deportations and detentions are separating families and in some cases that means the oldest children become the family breadwinner.Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun?

At the beginning of the year, cartoonists Dave Kellett and Brad Guigar made their predictions for the coming year — and set goals for themselves. Now, as the year comes to a close, it's the brutally honest follow-up episode where they grade themselves — and sometimes discover that Past-Brad and Past-Dave were wildly optimistic. Or deluded. Or both.2025 PREDICTIONSDAVE: Business planning for cartoonists is gonna be filled with a lot of anxiety. Trump will be a chaos agent.BRAD: the “winners” of 2025 will be the cartoonists and businesses that help people *deal* with anxiety.DAVE: Bluesky will be at 50M users by the end of the year (we were at 23M when he made that prediction)BRAD: Substack: will gain in prominence. They're going to have a user base in the same league as Patreon, Kickstarter, or Twitter.DAVE: “We will all be playing reactionary, whack-a-mole with our life decisions in the first two years of the Trump administration.”BRAD: AI will start to gain a foothold among writers and artists, as an assistant to their writing or their process or their brainstorming. Dave concurred.

The Legal Odyssey of Santa Claus: Navigating a World Without BordersThis conversation delves into the complex legal landscape surrounding Santa Claus, exploring how he navigates various legal frameworks including public law, international aviation regulations, immigration and customs laws, constitutional constraints, taxation, intellectual property rights, and data protection laws. The discussion reveals that Santa operates in a legally ambiguous space, sustained not by formal legal exemptions but by collective trust and political discretion, highlighting the interplay between law and societal values.In a world governed by complex legal frameworks, Santa Claus stands as a unique figure, operating beyond the reach of conventional laws. This blog post delves into the intricate legal landscape surrounding Santa, exploring how he navigates international borders, aviation laws, and customs regulations without a hitch.Santa's Stateless Status: Santa's journey begins at the North Pole, a legally ambiguous territory. As a stateless traveler, he faces the challenge of universal regulatory reach, where nearly 200 jurisdictions could potentially claim authority over his actions. This statelessness exposes him to a myriad of legal complexities, from aviation laws to customs regulations.Aviation and Customs Challenges: Santa's sleigh, a magical yet functional aircraft, defies modern aviation laws. Without registration or a flight plan, it poses a national security threat. Similarly, his massive gift distribution operation skirts customs laws, relying on political discretion rather than legal exemptions to avoid regulatory scrutiny.Constitutional and Tax Implications: The Naughty or Nice list, a cornerstone of Santa's operation, raises constitutional concerns about due process and algorithmic fairness. Meanwhile, Santa's tax status remains a puzzle, with potential liabilities in sales, employment, and gift taxes. His best legal classification might be as a charitable organization, but this comes with its own set of challenges.The Role of Political Tolerance: Ultimately, Santa's survival hinges on political and cultural tolerance. Despite his legal vulnerabilities, he continues to operate thanks to the collective consent of societies worldwide. This highlights the discretionary power of law enforcement and the flexibility of legal systems in accommodating beloved traditions.Santa Claus's legal journey is a testament to the interplay between law, culture, and politics. As we celebrate his annual visit, we are reminded of the unique ways in which legal systems adapt to accommodate extraordinary figures and traditions. This exploration invites us to consider other modern systems that operate on similar principles of custom and collective consent.Subscribe now to stay updated on more intriguing legal insights and stories.TakeawaysSanta's legal vulnerabilities are primarily due to his statelessness.He operates under a unique legal tolerance rather than formal exemptions.International law presents significant challenges for Santa's operations.Santa's air travel violates multiple aviation regulations.Immigration law strictly prohibits Santa's unauthorized entry into countries.The Naughty or Nice list raises constitutional concerns regarding due process.Santa's operations could be classified as mass customs fraud.Tax obligations present a complex challenge for Santa's gift economy.Santa's identity is protected by intellectual property laws, but he lacks ownership.Data protection laws pose significant compliance challenges for Santa.Santa Claus, public law, international law, aviation law, immigration law, constitutional law, taxation, intellectual property, data protection, legal tolerance

Rachel Maddow shares a look at how outrage over government corruption in Bulgaria prompted massive protests and eventually the resignation of the prime minister and his government. And in the United States, for all of Donald Trump's unpopular policies being protested across the country, the self-dealing and corruption that has become his administration's hallmark may ultimately be what leads to Trump's downfall. Julie K. Brown, investigative reporter for the Miami Herald who first exposed the scandal of how the Jeffrey Epstein case was handed, talks with Rachel Maddow about feedback she is receiving from survivors of Epstein's abuse about finding their own names in released documents despite heavy redactions that appear to make a greater priority of protecting the identities and information of people involved with Epstein than to protect his victims as the law instructs.Rep. Jamie Raskin joins to discuss how an ownership change and recent editorial decisions by CBS News is raising concerns that Donald Trump and the billionaires who support him are making progress on building state media.

The highly anticipated release of the Epstein files dropped last Friday with a muted thump, as redactions were abundant and files were held back. Mary and Andrew begin there, with the Justice Department's failure to comply with the “Epstein Files Transparency Act”, a congressional law compelling the release of "all unclassified records" with a few exceptions. They break down what the law requires, why the DOJ's redactions raise some concerns, and what new revelations surfaced around Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 plea deal. Turning to several federal cases on their radar, the co-hosts unpack the news that prosecutors had tried but failed to add a third felony charge against Letitia James and the split jury verdict of Wisconsin state court Judge Hannah Dugan. And before wrapping up, Mary and Andrew examine a unanimous DC Circuit decision allowing the National Guard deployment in the city to proceed, emphasizing D.C.'s unique non-state status.Further reading: Read DC Circuit Panel Decision on National Guard deployment HEREAnd a note to our listeners: As Mary and Andrew mentioned, they plan to record a new episode next Tuesday if the news warrants it.

And yet, research shows they are one of the groups with the lowest violent crimes.So what's really going on? We're also told they don't pay their taxes.

The headlines shout about winners and losers, but the real story this year is a quiet break in the social fabric: rising costs, collapsing civility, and a middle class pushed to the margins while trillion-dollar platforms set the rules. We take stock without the wishful thinking—where leadership fell short, why media trust eroded, and how populist energy devolved into a performance economy. Then we chart a path that doesn't wait for national saviors: rebuild the basics at the scale where life is actually lived.We dig into the mechanics of housing failure—land costs, fee stacks, and “solutions” that produce $3,500 one-bedrooms—and connect the dots to fertility declines and stalled mobility. We separate immigration myths from needs, arguing for policy that matches real shortages in skilled trades and technical roles rather than defaulting to elite preferences. And we confront the AI wildcard: consolidation of market power, creative jobs under pressure, and a creeping culture of low-effort knowledge that hollows out curiosity.The turnaround starts hyperlocal. Parents are reasserting standards through charter, parochial, and homeschool options. Neighbors who disagree politically still shovel each other's driveways and show up for city hall, building the trust that national media can't supply. Homeownership emerges as social glue—creating stake, stability, and responsibility—and we explore practical ways to expand it alongside vocational pipelines that open high-wage work. If the system feels feudal, the counterweight is community: family first, neighborhood next, and a renewed civic culture that values competence over slogans.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who cares about their block as much as their feed, and leave a review to help others find it.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 22, 2025. 0:30 Immigration, assimilation, and the American Dream. We break down why equal opportunity — not equal outcomes — has always been at the heart of American success, and why past waves of immigrants embraced shared values to build a common culture. We turn to Vice President JD Vance’s warning about Europe’s immigration crisis, cultural division, and security fears in cities like Paris, and ask whether the United States is heading down the same path. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US seized another oil tanker leaving Venezuela over the weekend. Over the weekend, a dump of Epstein files was released to the public. The Delaware Supreme Court ruled that Elon musk is indeed entitled to the largest compensation package for a CEO in world history. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 President Trump made a surprise announcement to build a new “Trump Class” battleship for the U.S. Navy — and it’s already sending the left into a frenzy. We dive into what this could mean for America’s military strength as China ramps up its naval power, and whether battleships could make a comeback in modern warfare. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to a hilarious story involving Conan O’Brien, Will Arnett, and Jason Bateman — and a running joke about grief, friendship, and irreverent humor. The conversation explores how laughter can be a powerful way to cope with loss, even in the middle of heartbreak. From sharing personal family stories to debating why Hollywood comedians on the left embrace edgy humor — until it comes from conservatives — the segment dives into comedy, culture, and double standards in political humor. It’s a heartfelt and funny look at how humor connects people, celebrates life, and keeps friendships strong, even during the toughest times. 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 break down President Trump’s pro-life legacy, the future of abortion policy after Roe v. Wade, and what it really means to stand for the sanctity of life. From states’ rights and constitutional limits on federal power to supporting single mothers, adoption, foster care, and post-abortion counseling, being pro-life must go beyond just opposing abortion. Republicans should defend life at every stage — and make compassion, not just legislation, the heart of the pro-life message. 26:00 We Dig Deep into Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd and his Newsmax appearance, where he claimed Americans don’t trust the media because they don’t trust “the experts.” But the real crisis is media credibility — not public ignorance. From COVID coverage and government messaging to questions about President Biden’s mental fitness and climate change debates legacy media treated experts like gospel, dismissed dissent, and labeled skeptics as conspiracy theorists. The result? A collapse of trust in journalism and mainstream news. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

With Mamdani set to be sworn in by Bernie Sanders and New York Attorney General Letitia James, the symbolism couldn’t be clearer. From AOC and Bernie Sanders to politicized justice and government overreach, Mamdani’s rise is a warning sign for where the Democratic Party — and America — could be headed next. 35:30 And we have a Bright Spot coming from Mullins, South Carolina where a private citizens group set out to give their downtown a Hallmark-style holiday makeover — complete with Santa, snowmen, and a nativity scene. But when the town’s mayor stepped in and asked for the nativity to be removed from public view, the fight was on. From free expression to accusations of intolerance toward Christians, this discussion raises a bigger question: does tolerance mean respecting traditions — or erasing them? 39:30 We dive into the legal battle over nativity scenes in public spaces. We break down the First Amendment and explain why the government cannot ban a nativity display simply because “someone might be offended.” While cities can enforce neutral rules on time, place, and manner, singling out a religious display is classic viewpoint discrimination — and courts consistently strike it down. 41:00 And we finish off with the first plane to safely land with Autoland.

Joe Pags calls out Jasmine Crockett's attempt to sound relatable, digging into her high-end background and eye-popping net worth and asking the question many viewers are wondering: how did she really make that money? Then Pags breaks down how the Trump administration is actually enforcing immigration law, as JD Vance, Tom Homan, and Kristi Noem speak out about encouraging self-deportation and helping families do it legally and safely. Finally, a curious new development in the Brown University shooting raises serious red flags — and Pags asks what might be getting covered up and what the real story could be. A sharp, headline-driven hour packed with politics, immigration enforcement, accountability, and unanswered questions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) This special holiday edition of The Wright Report features unscripted answers to listener-submitted questions on the issues shaping America and the world. Bryan begins with Venezuela, explaining how US actions in the Caribbean target drug trafficking, pressure regime change in Caracas and Havana, and aim to push Chinese, Russian, and Iranian influence out of the Western Hemisphere, while also signaling American resolve on the global stage. The episode then turns to immigration and national identity. Drawing on listener prompts, Bryan challenges the claim that American identity is defined only by shared ideals, arguing that the Founders clearly distinguished between legal rights and cultural assimilation. He addresses mass migration, cartel recruitment of teenagers inside the US, the limits of compassion in border policy, and why fear and uncertainty among migrants may be unavoidable if citizens are to be protected. The episode closes with Bryan's reflections on intelligence work and the CIA, including what real espionage looks like, how it shapes morality, and what sustains character under pressure. He also responds to questions about faith, leadership, and unexplained phenomena, offering a candid and reflective holiday conversation driven by the audience's curiosity.    "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Wright Report holiday episode, listener submitted questions, Venezuela oil blockade, regime change Caribbean, immigration identity debate, what is an American, assimilation vs ideals, cartel recruitment teenagers, border security policy, CIA reflections, intelligence ethics, faith and leadership

Immigration enforcement in Oklahoma has intensified, with recent reports showing a sharp increase in ICE arrests across the state. Much of this rise is driven by partnerships between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, including 287(g) agreements that allow local officers to assist ICE directly.

There were political motives behind the raid, calling it “abuse of power.” Lack of whistleblowers and calls for congressional hearings. 3.
