This week Morgan Tweet returns to the Hemp Show to talk about the Goodness of Hemp Act, a draft legislation she's confident will set the broader hemp industry on the path toward sensible regulation. She was on the show last November, about a week after the November surprise that we now know as the McConnell language was slipped into the appropriations bill in the eleventh hour. Tweet is the interim executive director of HEMI, the Hemp Education and Marketing Initiative. The McConnell language got everyone's attention, not only because it seemed to answer the questions around intoxicating cannabinoids once and for all, but by doing so, the bill wipes out most of the hemp cannabinoid industry, intoxicating or otherwise. "For most folks that are in the floral cannabinoid sector," Tweet said, "this has been basically an extinction event." The clock is ticking. November is on its way. Tweet is back with a draft piece of legislation called the Goodness of Hemp Act, a campaign and a call to build community. Can the Goodness of Hemp save the day? Listen to the episode and find out.

The bill proposes a comprehensive federal regulatory framework for hemp that addresses cultivation, food products, dietary supplements, and intoxicating hemp-derived beverages under three separate federal agencies — the USDA, the FDA, and the TTB, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. The Goodness of Hemp Act has been presented to congressional staffers and reviewed by FDA as part of ongoing hemp policy negotiations ahead of a critical November 2026 legislative deadline created by the McConnell appropriations language enacted in late 2024. The 3.7 milligram THC per serving interim limit proposed in the Goodness of Hemp Act is drawn from Johns Hopkins University research on THC impairment thresholds and is referenced in White House hemp policy discussions led by Heidi Overton, director of White House drug policy. The 3.7 mg per serving limit is designed to distinguish responsible hemp-derived consumer products from intoxicating products that the bill's authors argue should be regulated like alcohol under the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. The interim limit would defer final rulemaking to the FDA while establishing a workable and scientifically grounded starting point for Congress, hemp farmers, hemp processors, hemp beverage producers, and CBD product manufacturers navigating the post-McConnell regulatory landscape. Morgan Tweet is the CEO of IND Hemp, a grain and fiber hemp company based in Fort Benton, Montana, and serves as interim executive director of HEMI, the Hemp Education Marketing Initiatives. Tweet has been a leading voice in hemp policy advocacy since the 2018 Farm Bill and has worked with the National Hemp Association, the Hemp Feed Coalition, and other industry organizations on hemp regulation, hemp marketing, hemp farmer support, and federal regulatory frameworks for hemp cultivation and hemp-derived products. The Goodness of Hemp Act also includes language allowing hemp seed ingredients as approved feed for companion animals and horses, a provision developed in coordination with the Hemp Feed Coalition, and directs a portion of federal excise tax revenue back into hemp farmers, hemp research, and hemp supply chain infrastructure. The Goodness of Hemp awareness campaign is a grassroots marketing and education initiative launched by HEMI in 2026 to build public and legislative support for responsible hemp regulation ahead of the November 2026 federal deadline. The campaign is designed to educate consumers, retailers, policymakers, and agricultural stakeholders about the broad value of hemp across food, fiber, wellness, construction, animal care, and emerging product categories including hemp-derived beverages. The Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast has covered hemp policy, hemp farming, hempcrete, hemp fiber, hemp grain, hemp seed, and hemp-derived cannabinoid products since 2018, making it one of the longest-running editorial hemp podcasts in the United States. Farmers, hemp businesses, hemp advocates, and hemp consumers are encouraged to share their goodness of hemp story at thegoodnessofhemp.org.  

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 4, 2026. We open with a conversation about Congress's seemingly unlimited capacity for symbolism and its equally limited appetite for actual governance — prompted by the bill to rename the street in front of the Chinese embassy Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard. We love the trolling, we love the underlying principle, and we think every Chinese diplomat should have to write that address on their stationery every day. But we also note that the SAVE Act — which 70% of Americans support, including 69% of independents and nearly half of rank-and-file Democrats — is still sitting unactioned. You cannot tell us you can walk and chew gum at the same time if you're only blowing bubbles. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump announced he wants Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch to become the permanent AG — and after overseeing the indictment of James Comey and launching the National Fraud Enforcement Division, we think he's earned it. Then the federal government cut off Hawaii from Medicaid funding after decertifying its Medicaid Fraud Control Unit — a unit that received millions of dollars to fight fraud, produced zero criminal indictments between 2022 and 2025, and watched Medicaid enrollment explode by 40% in the same period. And water began flowing again into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — restored for an estimated $13 to $20 million, which is less than half of what the Obama administration spent on a failed repair project that left the pool just as dirty six months later. Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the Black Crows concert in Florida where the lead singer told a crowd chanting USA that he didn't understand why they were cheering for this country. Thousands walked out. Teri says she would have been one of them — and explains why the cultural fatigue is real and permanent now. We talk about why woke entertainment keeps failing at the box office, why Snow White bombed, why the all-lesbian Star Trek didn't survive one season, and why Americans are done pretending they'll tolerate being told their country is awful by the people it made wealthy. We dig into the Austin Metcalf murder trial — which CBS News and most of the media are calling the Carmelo Anthony trial, burying the name of the murdered boy seven paragraphs down. We explain why the jury ended up without any Black members — and the answer, straight from CBS News itself, is not that prosecutors were racist. It's that several prospective Black jurors admitted under oath they could not vote to convict a defendant who looked like them, or who looked like a kid, regardless of the evidence. One said he would have a hard time putting a brother in jail. We ask the question nobody wants to ask — if jurors in the other direction had said the same thing in reverse, what would happen? And we ask how many juries have had people on them who felt the same way but didn't say so out loud? The Senate voted to strip the SAVE Act from the reconciliation package — with four Republicans joining Democrats to kill it: Murkowski, McConnell, Tillis, and Collins. We explain why each of them voted the way they did, and we note that 81% of Americans support requiring voter ID and 80% want states to purge non-citizens from voter rolls. This is not a radical idea. It is the will of the American people, and four Republican senators just overruled it. For our Bright Spot, Senator John Fetterman — standing alone again among Senate Democrats — went on record calling out Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Plattner over the new revelations about his explicit messaging to women on a platform known for sexual predators. Fetterman said if you've already lied about the Nazi tattoo situation, there are probably a lot more ranches you haven't seen yet. We make the comparison to Alexander Hamilton's endorsement of Thomas Jefferson — I may disagree with his principles, but at least he has them. We also cover the Israel-Lebanon-Hezbollah ceasefire framework — and explain why the big if in that deal is Hezbollah, which has never wanted peace with Israel and still doesn't. And we close with Sterling Nassa, who was sitting in the audience at a live orchestra performance of La La Land in Sydney when the pianist came down ill at intermission. The conductor walked out and asked if anyone in the house could play. Sterling was a trained pianist and an accomplished sight reader. He walked up, sight read the second half of the concert, including a complicated piano solo, and saved the show. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Coirnéal Seán Ó Fátharta, An Ard Mionoifigeach Seosamh Ó Coisdealbha agus leifteanant Conor McGuire agus Clodagh McConnell ag labhairt faoi champa Gaeilge a bhí acu ar an gCeathrú Rua le gairid.

The Trump administration is backing away from a planned $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund after a revolt from Republicans on Capitol Hill. The fund, tied to a settlement and intended to be administered by the Justice Department, had drawn criticism as a potential slush fund that could benefit Trump allies prosecuted under the Biden administration. White House officials told GOP leaders they were retreating from the proposal, at least for now.What stands out to me is that this was never something Trump could simply do by executive order. It would have had to move through Congress, and right now he is running short on political leverage. Collins, Murkowski, and McConnell have already shown they're willing to break with the administration. Add in senators like Tom Tillis, John Cornyn, and Bill Cassidy, who have their own political considerations, and suddenly there are a lot of Republican votes that need convincing. If every other priority is tied to this fund, it becomes a problem. The White House has signaled retreat…. for now.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

The lawsuit argues that AI contributes to harms including addiction, suicide, and even mass shootings. What makes this interesting is that there are no clean ideological fault lines on AI. In Florida, AI is increasingly being treated as just another version of Big Tech, grouped together with the companies conservatives believe have censored or de-platformed them. Simultaneously, politicians in states like Michigan are celebrating AI investments, data centers, and the jobs that come with them, even as it might leave Gretchen Whitmer on the outside looking in for 2028. As AI becomes a larger part of the economy, states are going to play a much bigger role in determining how it develops.But our biggest story remains Iran. Over the last few days, a targeted IRGC commander killing, an attack on a U.S. airbase in Kuwait, and reports that Iran is ending ceasefire talks have all pushed events away from diplomacy and toward escalation. Iran is threatening to fully shut down the Strait of Hormuz and other export routes. The president of Iran has reportedly tendered his resignation, while the IRGC appears to be tightening its grip on power. At the same time, Hezbollah has reportedly signaled a willingness to accept a ceasefire with Israel, though neither American nor Israeli officials seem convinced it would hold.Everything now revolves around leverage. The Strait of Hormuz is Iran's last major bargaining chip. If it reopens without major concessions, Tehran loses a significant source of pressure. If Iran gives up its nuclear ambitions or loses the ability to project power through regional proxies, the regime risks undermining the very justification it has used for decades. Meanwhile, global oil markets are hanging on every development. Hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough have helped keep prices contained, but each new escalation raises the possibility that the conflict widens and energy markets absorb the shock.One small but important development is that internet access appears to be returning inside Iran after months of restrictions. That means more information is beginning to flow out of the country at a moment when the political situation appears increasingly unstable. Whether this ends in negotiations, further military action, or a deeper internal power struggle unfortunately remains wrapped in the fog of war.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:07 - Interview with Evan Scrimshaw00:39:19 - Trump Slush Fund00:42:13 - AI Lawsuit00:46:34 - Iran00:50:10 - Interview with Charlie Feldman01:30:42 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Senator McConnell and Congressman Guthrie announce millions in funding for upgrades to a Kentucky county's water system, Congressman McGarvey proposes guaranteeing income for young adults, dozens paddle the Ohio River to highlight its recreational opportunities and restoration needs, and meet two Kentuckians participating in the Transplant Games of America.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is at the center of the Trump administration. He's helping to lead negotiations over the war in Iran, the pressure campaign on Cuba's communist regime, and U.S. efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine. It wasn't always this way. Journalist and author Manuel Roig-Franzia breaks down how Rubio went from Trump critic to his chief booster, and whether it's all in service of a potential presidential run in 2028.And, in a sharp and rare rebuke of President Trump, Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell slammed the administration's $1.776 billion so-called 'anti-weaponization' fund, calling it "utterly stupid" and "morally wrong." Princeton University historian Julian Zelizer explains McConnell's reaction and why it should be viewed through the lens of McConnell's decision not to convict Trump after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Adel Nero and Zak Paine are back together on a Thursday with Frankie Val popping in before heading to a wedding. The guys open on a stunning primary night that saw Trump endorsements go 37 for 37, with Cornyn collapsing in Texas the moment Paxton picked up the nod and a long list of establishment names like Crenshaw, Cassidy, Tillis, McConnell, Raffensperger, and Gabe Sterling all on the way out. From there, Zak makes the case that the GOP machine has spent years planting its weakest senators in the reddest states, and that pattern is finally breaking. The bulk of the episode is a layered breakdown of Thomas Massey's fall from principled outsider to opportunistic grifter, his late conversion to the Epstein issue, and why Trump zeroed in on his seat rather than going after Thune. The conversation closes on a sharper take: that the loudest pro-Israel and anti-Israel voices may be feeding off the same outrage budget, designed to fracture MAGA from within. Lots of nuance, very little hand wringing.

Inflation Jumps 3.8%. Trump Disapproval on Economy Hits 70%! Senator McConnell is Not Well. Osborn Leads Ricketts in Nebraska. Mendoza Gives Trump the Stiff-arm. Kari Lake Appointed Ambassador to Jamaica!?  It's Testimony Tuesday and the corruption is on full display. Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine are on the Hill asking Congress for $1.5 trillion more for the Pentagon — a Christmas tree budget designed to bankroll the unauthorized Iran war and whatever comes next, whether that's Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, or Cuba. Buried in the same hearing: the Pentagon's own CFO admitting the Iran tab is now $29 billion and counting, $4 billion more than Americans were told. Gas is up, beef is up, tomatoes are up 40%, inflation just hit a five-year high, and 70% of the country disapproves of Trump on the economy. The pigs are at the trough and the rest of us are getting screwed. Paul breaks down why the December defense vote is the real fight, why Hegseth's open defiance of Congress on Ukraine aid is impeachment-grade, and why FBI Director Crash Patel spending his testimony defending his sobriety is not a sign of a healthy republic. He hits the Mitch McConnell mid-hearing meltdown — fitness, not age, is the metric — calls out Kari Lake being shipped to Jamaica, flags Dan Osborn pulling ahead of Pete Ricketts in Nebraska, and closes with the people stepping up to be the vaccine: nurses on International Nurses Day, Ukrainian medics under shellfire, and the new Astronauts for America.

What if the biggest wake-up call of your life became the reason you completely reinvented your future? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Janet McConnell, a Senior National Champion Bodybuilder who began competing in her late 40s, Janet brings decades of experience in strength training and lifestyle habits that support cognitive health, resilience, and vitality. As the author of Elements of Aging Well, she blends science-backed insight with real-world strategies to help women age with confidence, strength, and purpose.  Janet shares how a shocking health diagnosis at age 46 forced her to confront the reality of burnout, unhealthy habits, and the long-term impact of putting herself last. Instead of accepting prescriptions as her future, she made a bold decision to change her life through one consistent habit: resistance training. If you've ever wondered whether you've waited too long to prioritize yourself, this episode will challenge everything you believe about aging and personal transformation.   What You Will Learn: How one consistent habit can create massive health transformation over time. Why resistance training is one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging and cognitive health. How high-achieving women often disconnect from their health while building successful careers. Why mindset shifts must happen before lasting behavior change can occur. How Janet reversed alarming health markers without extreme dieting. What happens physically and mentally when strength training becomes part of a long-term lifestyle. Why aging does not automatically mean decline or loss of vitality. How identity and purpose evolve when transitioning out of corporate life. Why women over 45 should rethink the way they approach fitness and longevity. How healthy habits become votes for the person you want to become.

CannCon and Ashe bring Ash Wednesday with a show that ranges from the absurd to the consequential. Missouri's Supreme Court upholds redrawn congressional maps that effectively eliminate the only Democrat seat, and Mississippi sets a special session to redraw Bennie Thompson's district. Ashe and CannCon use the redistricting wave to make the deeper argument: the real problem is not who draws the districts but the 1929 cap at 435 representatives that makes political manipulation structurally inevitable. A Brooklyn Democrat assembly candidate has 90% of her 5,258 nominating signatures thrown out, including two from voters who have been dead for over a decade. Dr. Andrew Paquette's Why We Vote appearance the night before revealed 1.5 million cloned voter registrations in New York alone in 2020, and CannCon and Ashe show that US registered voter turnout hit 94.1% in 2020, higher than countries with compulsory voting. Kevin Warsh clears his Senate hurdle 51-45. Kash Patel eviscerates Senator Van Hollen live in committee. An undercover video catches a White House budget official calling Trump a madman. Trump calls out Mitch McConnell's Democratic-aligned handler Robert Karim by name.

Gov. Beshear launches a Pre-K for All pilot program, renewed calls for State Rep. Grossberg to resign, Sen. Paul weighs in on the race to replace Sen. McConnell, a record amount of unclaimed property is returned to Kentuckians, and a conversation with Kentucky-born journalist Michael Collins.

In our latest Two Think Minimum podcast we talk with Stanford Law Professor Michael McConnell about two landmark Supreme Court cases reshaping presidential power. McConnell, who represented challengers in the historic tariff case striking down the President's use of IEEPA, explains how the Court's application of the Major Questions Doctrine reinforces Congress's constitutional authority over taxation while limiting executive overreach. The conversation then turns to the anticipated overturning of Humphrey's Executor, which would eliminate for-cause removal protections for independent agency heads. McConnell argues these cases reflect consistent constitutional principles: Congress controls how much power the executive branch has, while the elected president must control the powers that exist within it.

Governor Beshear says he's losing confidence in the University of Kentucky, candidates looking to replace Sen. McConnell appear on KET, Sen. Paul puts forward a bill he says could save Kentucky's hemp industry, and Churchill Downs is buying a famed leg of racing's Triple Crown.

After a week that finally gave fans something to feel good about, the Pacers are starting to show real signs of life. Indiana picked up two wins behind a surging offense that looks more like what we expected coming into the season. Andrew Nembhard, Pascal Siakam, and T. J. McConnell all stepped up in a big way, each playing some of their best basketball of the year and helping drive a much-needed offensive rhythm. We also got the return of Bennedict Mathurin and Isaiah Jackson to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, adding another layer of energy to an already encouraging stretch. In this episode, we break down what's fueling the offensive turnaround, highlight the standout performances, and discuss whether this is something the Pacers can actually build on moving forward. Finally… some winning basketball in Indiana—and plenty to unpack. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
