You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 11, 2025. 0:30 After weeks of gridlock, Washington may finally reopen. Eight Senate Democrats, including Dick Durbin, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Maggie Hassan, have crossed the aisle to support ending the government shutdown. But this isn’t a sudden burst of bipartisanship—it’s political triage. While we credit John Fetterman for his consistency, most of his colleagues acted out of panic, not principle. The Democrats’ leadership, led by Chuck Schumer, is collapsing under the weight of its own miscalculation—boxed in, out of leverage, and out of public support. 9:30 Plus, we cover the top 3 Things You Need to Know. Some Democrats in the Senate appear to have finally caved on the government funding battle. The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a case over whether or not mail in ballots that arrive after election day may be counted in an election. President Trump issues pardons over the weekend for many conservatives and Republicans accused of wrongdoing in the aftermath of the 2020 elections. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We tackle one of the most disturbing moral crises of our time—Canada’s expanding euthanasia program. What began as a measure for the terminally ill has spiraled into something far darker: state-sanctioned death for people with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and even mental health struggles. 15:30 Our American Mamas, Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, take on a listener’s question: “Can you even say one positive thing about Democrats?” Terri admits her “compliment” might be a bit backhanded—calling Senator John Fetterman the most sensible Democrat in America, though she jokes that says more about the state of the party than about him. Kimberly finds something to admire too: Democrats’ fearlessness in saying whatever they want without worrying about backlash—something she says conservatives could never get away with. But the discussion deepens as the Mamas reflect on their own friendships with Democrats, the difference between ordinary people and political leaders, and what “tolerance” and “pluralism” really mean in today’s climate. 23:00 We turn our attention to one of the world’s most horrific and underreported human rights crises—the persecution of Christians across Africa. In Nigeria alone, radical Islamic terrorists have murdered more than 50,000 Christians since 2009, wiping out entire villages, executing pastors, and burning churches to the ground while congregations worshiped. Where is the outrage? There’s silence from the United Nations, from Western media, and from the global human rights community. 26:00 We Dig Deep into one of the most intriguing unanswered questions from January 6th — who planted the pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters the night before the Capitol riot? More than four years later, the FBI has yet to identify a suspect, even as it has aggressively pursued hundreds of other January 6th cases. But now, new information and video evidence are reigniting the debate. According to an investigation by Blaze Media, forensic gait analysis of FBI surveillance footage points to a 94% match with an individual who later went on to work for the CIA — a woman named Shawnee Ray Kirchhoff, who at the time was employed by the Capitol Police. The report connects a string of coincidences: her height matches the FBI’s description, she walks with a limp due to a past injury, and her proximity to a residence once under federal surveillance deepens the intrigue. 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 This Thanksgiving, Americans may find a little more sticker shock at the grocery store. We dive into why turkey prices have soared to their highest levels in decades, with wholesale costs up 75% since last year. From a bird flu outbreak that’s decimated flocks to the lingering fallout of Biden-era inflation that shuttered many family farms, multiple crises have converged on America’s most beloved holiday meal. 36:00 Plus, the International Olympic Committee is preparing to ban transgender athletes from competing outside their biological sex categories, and that's a Bright Spot for fairness in sports. After years of controversy, including last summer’s uproar in Paris over male-born athletes dominating women’s events, the IOC’s latest review finally acknowledges what many have long known: biological differences matter. Citing findings from the IOC’s own medical and scientific director, we look at the evidence that male-born athletes retain physical advantages even after hormone suppression, confirming what critics of transgender inclusion in women’s divisions have said for years. This is not only a victory for women’s sports integrity, but also a sign that common sense is making a comeback on the world stage. 39:30 Michelle Obama is offended by President Trump's White House Renovations, bascially calling his demolition of part of the East Wing an attack on first ladies everywhere. But she had no problem renovating the state dining room during the Obama years. We see the hypocrisy, and we're saying, "Whoa." 41:30 And we finish off today's episode with a national hero who released his first original song at the age of 101.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 32: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Quislings. Traitors. Cowards. Capitulators. Collaborators. Fakes. Frauds. Enablers. Betrayers. Failures. Political Prostitutes. Senators Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King need to be expelled from the Democratic party and any that mistakenly think they have a chance of retaining their seats must be primaried. Must be. They are not progressives, they are not pragmatists, they are not even moderates. They are fools. Their careers must be ended. Now. Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King. Now. Done. Forgotten. Let us hear their names no more. Last night these eight Senators voted to fold, without any pressure, without any bribe, without anything. They voted to kick millions of Americans off ObamaCare in order to reopen and fund the government – for only three months, mind you – in exchange not for magic beans but just the promise of a vote in which they’ll GET magic beans – a vote ON the health care subsidies - IF half a dozen Republicans defy Trump. A vote about magic beans. Which they won’t win. Their rationalizations were pathetic and suggested their familiarity with the reality of the Senate, of Trump, of the Republican Party, was less than that of the average Senate Page. What's worse is, this happens now as the reality becomes more and clear: Trump’s mind is gone. It’s so bad even The Washington Post noticed. It’s so bad The Washington Post even put it on their front page. He’s hyping weight loss drugs. In The Oval Office. And how he and he alone can bring down their price. And a weight loss patient there to extoll weight loss drugs and say how safe they are and praise Trump’s wonderfulness… collapses. Folds. Drops, slow-motion, like a deflating inflatable tube man at a used car sales lot. Trump – whose mind is gone - not only doesn’t help the guy on the floor… he’s offended he upstaged him. And then Trump – whose MIND IS GONE - falls asleep. For the second time. Or as The Washington Post put it: “A Closer Look At Trump’s Apparent Struggles To Fight Off Sleep In The Oval Office” read the Post headline. “A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds found that the president spent nearly 20 minutes apparently battling to keep his eyes open…” 815 words follow. And four pictures. One of Trump – whose mind is gone - with one eye closed. One with one eye closed and two fingers rubbing it. One with both eyes closed. One where you can almost SEE the snoring. Even. The Washington Post. Knows It. Let’s step back from the nuts-and-bolts of the government shutdown to try to process how it was perceived by Trump…whose mind is gone. HE thought it would be a GOOD idea to cut off food stamps so lines at soup kitchens would get longer just as it was getting cold. He thought the correct political move as the Holidays approached was… government-sponsored starvation. He believed that the country would praise him for… gradually shutting down all air travel – including all air travel FOR HIS SUPPORTERS – first for Thanksgiving and then for Christmas and New Year’s. He thought these were good political moves. SPORTSBALLCENTER (30:00): Yes, legal gambling could send two Cleveland pitchers to jail for 65 years. But no, they didn't actually make a Shohei Ohtani Used Jockstrap baseball card. B-Block (38:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Politico thinks the first thing a Mayor-Elect of New York has to do is answer questions about the 2028 Senate elections. The Breaker media newsletter finds the New York Times fricasseeing its own digital books. That's right: FIFA isn't just polishing Trump's knob, it's inventing a "Peace Prize" so it can polish it harder. And Dr. Oz wants you to lose 400 pounds by the midterms. C-Block (55:00) WHY I'M NOT A HOCKEY ANNOUNCER: One of my favorite sportscasting stories: how my budding career as a plucky pucky play-by-play guy was thwarted when the team we were broadcasting "forgot to rent the rink" - and how I avenged myself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

rWotD Episode 3068: 2016 United States Senate elections Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Saturday, 27 September 2025, is 2016 United States Senate elections.The 2016 United States Senate elections were held on November 8, 2016. The presidential election, House elections, 14 gubernatorial elections, and many state and local elections were held concurrently. In the elections, 34 of the 100 seats—all Class 3 Senate seats—were contested in regular elections; the winners served six-year terms until January 3, 2023. Class 3 had last been up for election in 2010 when Republicans won a net gain of six seats. In 2016, Democrats defended 10 seats, while Republicans defended 24 seats. Republicans, having won a majority of seats in the Senate in 2014, held the Senate majority with 54 seats before this election. Although the Democrats made a net gain of two seats, Republicans retained control of the Senate for the 115th United States Congress. The two Democratic gains came from the defeats of incumbents Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire and Mark Kirk in Illinois by Maggie Hassan and Tammy Duckworth, respectively.Despite Republicans retaining control of the Senate, 2016 marked the first time since 1986 where Democrats made a net gain of seats in Class 3. This is also the only election cycle since the popular-vote election of senators was mandated by the 17th Amendment in 1913 that the winning party in every Senate election mirrored the winning party for their state in the presidential election. This feat had nearly been accomplished earlier in 1920, which also involved the Class 3 Senate seats, and nearly repeated in 2020; in both cases, every state, with the exception of Kentucky in 1920 and Maine in 2020, voted for the same party in the presidential election and their Senate election. In addition, this election marked the first time since 2000 in which the party in opposition to the elected or reelected presidential candidate made net gains in the Senate; both cases involved the election of a Republican president and the Democrats making gains in the Senate.With the retirement of Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer became the Democratic leader after the elections, while Mitch McConnell retained his position as Senate Majority Leader. As of 2024, this is the last time Republicans won Senate races in Arizona and Georgia, and the last senate election cycle where there were no special elections.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:10 UTC on Saturday, 27 September 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 2016 United States Senate elections on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ruth.

01:00:44 – RFK Jr. Torches Senate RFK Jr. clashes with senators, calling Maggie Hassan a liar and exposing CDC corruption. He slams pharma influence and cites data showing suppressed autism risks. 01:07:55 – Autism Cover-Up Exposed RFK Jr. details a 2002 CDC study showing black boys had a 260% higher autism risk with early MMR shots—data destroyed by officials to protect pharma. 01:11:10 – Cassidy Traps RFK Jr. Sen. Bill Cassidy forces RFK Jr. to endorse Trump's Operation Warp Speed, calling it Nobel-worthy. RFK caves, exposing his compromise with Trump's ego. 01:16:10 – Senators Bought by Pharma Discussion lists senators pocketing millions from vaccine makers: Warren, Sanders, Romney, Cassidy, and others. Both parties are shown as fully captured by pharma. 01:23:16 – Spike Protein = Bioweapon Listener analysis ties vaccine harms to spike protein's destruction of ACE2, fueling myocarditis, clotting, and turbo cancers. Critics call the jabs a Pentagon-DARPA bioweapon. 01:27:33 – Trump, Gates, and Zuckerberg Dinner Trump dines with Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg at the White House. Commentary frames it as proof Trump embraces technocrats pushing AI, depopulation, and new mRNA delivery systems. 01:51:24 – Tim Kaine: Rights From Government Sen. Tim Kaine claims rights come from government, not God—sparking outrage. Ted Cruz rebukes him with Jefferson's words, while critics tie Kaine's stance to Marxist liberation theology. 01:59:42 – Liberation Theology = KGB Ops Discussion traces Kaine's worldview to “liberation theology,” described as a KGB psyop to destabilize the West. Parallels are drawn to Pope Francis and modern Marxist infiltration in religion. 02:03:47 – DOJ Pushes Gun Ban for Transgender People DOJ considers labeling transgender individuals as mentally ill to strip gun rights. Critics warn it's a Trojan horse for red flag gun laws and Trump-style “due process later” policies. 02:07:47 – Trans Militancy & Socialist Rifle Association Zero Hedge report links trans shooters with the far-left Socialist Rifle Association, whose rainbow-AR-15 imagery echoes recent killings. Hosts warn conservatives are being baited into cheering gun control. 02:17:13 – Trump's Asylum Agenda Trump and Melania push reopening mental institutions and mandatory mental health screenings. Critics warn this echoes totalitarian regimes weaponizing psychiatry to silence dissent. 02:19:54 – John Rich vs. TVA Land Grab Country singer John Rich helps Tennessee locals fight the TVA's eminent domain scheme for a methane gas plant. After massive pushback, TVA cancels plans—framed as a rare grassroots victory against corporate-government overreach. 03:05:52 – Gold Soars on Weak Jobs Gerald Celente joins to discuss gold hitting $3,600 amid dismal job numbers. Weak labor markets signal looming rate cuts, sinking the dollar and driving investors to safe havens. 03:09:12 – Trump's Crypto Empire Exposed Discussion shifts to how Trump's family quietly moved massive wealth into Bitcoin and crypto mining. His stake is now larger than his global resorts, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. 03:12:54 – Dragflation & Debt Heart Attack Celente predicts “dragflation”—declining growth plus surging inflation—as debt tops $220 trillion. Ray Dalio's warning of a “debt-induced heart attack” within three years is echoed as inevitable. 03:14:42 – Gold Goes Digital The World Gold Council prepares to tokenize bullion for global trading. Analysts warn it could wipe out unstable cryptocurrencies and challenge U.S. dollar dominance. 03:26:02 – H-1B Scam & Cheap Labor Conversation turns to H-1B visas, tracing back to Bill Clinton and expanded under Trump and Biden. Both parties are accused of flooding the U.S. with cheap foreign labor to suppress wages. 03:36:02 – Venezuela Strike = Oil Grab Trump's shoot-first policy in Venezuela is blasted as a false “drug war” pretext to seize oil. Comparisons are drawn to Duterte's Philippines and past regime-change coups.

Buckle up, patriots—@intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove blaze through Season 7, Episode 168, “RFK Jr. Testifies at Senate Hearing Amid CDC Chaos; Putin Talks IMMORTALITY,” airing live on September 4, 2025, at 12:05 PM Eastern! These truth-warrior hosts dissect HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s fiery Senate testimony, grilling the establishment on CDC upheaval—from firing Director Susan Monarez and top resignations to overhauling vaccine policies amid accusations of hidden myocarditis signals, manipulated safety data, and links to autism risks in studies like the Atlanta MMR research. Jeff and Shannon expose pharmaceutical giants' grip on politicians through massive donations to figures like Maria Cantwell and Maggie Hassan, prioritizing profits over public health, while championing transparency in drug approvals, unvaccinated vs. vaccinated health comparisons, and cracking down on federal healthcare fraud via CMS initiatives and rural health reforms. They slam the Biden era's COVID vaccine push as a test run for control, with celebs and officials like Obama and Fauci downplaying dangers, and question the media's Pfizer-sponsored spin. Then, they turn to Vladimir Putin's hot-mic musings with Xi Jinping on biotechnology, organ transplants, and achieving immortality—unearthing potential globalist plots in anti-aging pursuits. With razor-sharp wit, live intel drops, and real-time takedowns, the MG Show urges accountability in the medical system and a rejection of entrenched corruption.

This Day in Legal History: Robert Bork Nomination RejectedOn October 23, 1987, the U.S. Senate rejected President Ronald Reagan's nomination of Robert H. Bork to the Supreme Court by a vote of 42-58. This rejection was a pivotal moment in U.S. legal and political history, marking one of the most contentious Supreme Court nomination battles. Bork, a former solicitor general and judge on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, was known for his strict originalist interpretation of the Constitution, which raised concerns about how his judicial philosophy might affect rulings on civil rights, privacy, and women's rights.Bork's nomination ignited intense public opposition, particularly from civil rights organizations, women's rights groups, and liberal advocacy organizations. These groups feared that his conservative views on issues like abortion, affirmative action, and privacy rights would roll back decades of legal progress. His academic writings and controversial role in the Saturday Night Massacre during the Watergate scandal, when he followed President Nixon's orders to fire the special prosecutor investigating the case, further fueled opposition.The Senate's rejection of Bork is widely seen as a turning point in the politicization of Supreme Court nominations, where ideology became a key battleground. The term “borking” was coined to describe the aggressive campaigning and lobbying used to derail a judicial nomination. This event reshaped how future judicial nominations would be approached, with increased scrutiny on nominees' legal philosophies and the political stakes of Supreme Court appointments.Elon Musk's $1 million election giveaway has sparked debate over whether it violates federal laws prohibiting payment to register or vote. The giveaway, which selects daily winners from those who sign Musk's petition supporting the First and Second Amendments, targets key battleground states ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Legal experts are split on its legality. Some argue that it could be viewed as indirectly incentivizing voter registration, particularly since participants must be registered voters in specific states. Critics, including Pennsylvania's Governor Josh Shapiro, are calling for investigations, citing concerns about potential violations. Others, like former Federal Election Commission chair Brad Smith, believe Musk is not violating the law because signing the petition isn't directly tied to registering to vote. The controversy centers on whether Musk's actions are a clever mobilization tactic or a breach of election law.Elon Musk's $1 million election giveaway tests limits of election law | ReutersCarrier Global has agreed to a $730 million settlement related to PFAS contamination claims against its bankrupt fire protection unit, Kidde-Fenwal. The settlement will resolve lawsuits over toxic chemicals, known as PFAS or "forever chemicals," found in Kidde-Fenwal's firefighting foam products, which allegedly polluted water and soil near U.S. airports and military bases. The settlement allocates $540 million to Kidde-Fenwal and $190 million to the plaintiffs. Carrier will fund $615 million over five years and use $115 million from the sale of Kidde-Fenwal's assets. Additionally, Carrier expects up to $2.4 billion in insurance payouts to cover costs. Kidde-Fenwal filed for bankruptcy in May 2023 amid over 4,400 PFAS-related lawsuits. This settlement follows other major PFAS agreements, such as 3M's $10.3 billion and DuPont's $1.19 billion settlements.Carrier reaches $730 mln settlement over fire protection unit PFAS claims | ReutersRupert Murdoch's Dow Jones and the New York Post have filed a lawsuit against Perplexity AI, accusing the startup of illegally copying their copyrighted content to generate AI-based responses. The lawsuit highlights a broader conflict between publishers and tech companies over the unauthorized use of copyrighted material for AI training and content generation. Perplexity, which competes in the search engine market, provides AI-generated summaries from various sources, including material from Dow Jones and the New York Post. The lawsuit claims that Perplexity's system reproduces content verbatim without permission, constituting copyright infringement. Dow Jones and the *New York Post* seek to stop Perplexity from using their content and demand the destruction of databases built using their work. Despite attempts to negotiate a licensing deal, Perplexity did not respond. The case reflects growing tensions between media organizations and AI companies, as publishers push for compensation for the use of their content.Murdoch's Dow Jones, New York Post sue Perplexity AI for 'illegal' copying of content | ReutersA Michigan judge rejected a Republican effort to restrict overseas voting in the state. The Republican National Committee (RNC) had filed a lawsuit claiming Michigan's election laws improperly allowed U.S. citizens living abroad, who had never resided in the state but had relatives there, to vote. Judge Sima Patel ruled that the challenged language in the law aligns with federal and state regulations. According to Michigan law, U.S. citizens who have never lived in the U.S. can vote in Michigan if a parent, guardian, or spouse last resided there, as long as they haven't registered in another state. The RNC did not immediately respond to the decision.Judge rejects Republican move to restrict overseas voting in Michigan | ReutersIn my column for Bloomberg this week I argued for the need to establish a uniform state sales tax system to alleviate the burdens on small businesses and remote sellers. The current fragmented system, with over 13,000 tax jurisdictions, creates significant compliance challenges. Since the Supreme Court's South Dakota v. Wayfair decision in 2018, remote sellers are now required to navigate a complex patchwork of tax rules across states, which hampers interstate commerce. A proposal by Senator Maggie Hassan to standardize sales tax policies has drawn opposition from states concerned about losing autonomy, but the economic harm caused by the status quo warrants congressional intervention. Small businesses are disproportionately affected, as they are often required to track taxes across multiple states, increasing administrative costs. A federal solution, like Hassan's proposal, could simplify this with exemptions for small sellers and protections for good-faith tax collection errors. Offering federal incentives for states to modernize their tax systems could help ease the transition. By building on existing frameworks, such as the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, a collaborative approach can balance state sovereignty with the need for a more consistent tax system that supports commerce.We Need a Uniform State Sales Tax System That Supports Commerce This is a public episode.
