In February 2024, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 117, which allows for the release of grand jury documents from the 2006 investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. This legislation permits the disclosure of grand jury testimony if the subject of the inquiry is deceased, the investigation was about sexual activity with a minor, and the testimony was previously disclosed by a court order.The bill, effective July 1, 2024, aims to provide transparency and justice for Epstein's victims by revealing previously sealed grand jury proceedings. This move has been celebrated by victims and advocates as a significant step toward accountability and justice.Epstein's 2006 investigation involved the Palm Beach Police Department, which had recommended multiple felony charges, including unlawful sexual activity with a minor and lewd or lascivious molestation. However, the State Attorney at the time chose to present the evidence to a grand jury, resulting in the details and names of those involved remaining sealed.HB 117's passage was supported by two of Epstein's victims, who joined Governor DeSantis in Palm Beach to mark the occasion. Governor DeSantis emphasized that the public deserves to know who participated in Epstein's sex trafficking and that wealth and status should not protect individuals from facing justice. Representative Peggy Gossett-Seidman also highlighted the significance of this legislation for the victims and the Palm Beach community that suffered from Epstein's actions.And now those documents are available for us to dive into. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein transcripts - DocumentCloud

On Hannity, Ron DeSantis spotlighted his newly signed Florida law authorizing the release of grand jury transcripts from the 2006 Jeffrey Epstein investigation. He argued that the public has a right to see who was implicated and to understand how a wealthy, politically connected sex trafficker managed to secure such a lenient deal. DeSantis stressed that the punishment Epstein received in Florida was “wholly inadequate” for the crimes, framing the move as a correction to past failures of accountability.He also emphasized that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were not the only ones involved, saying that others who played roles in the trafficking network should be exposed and held responsible. DeSantis framed the bill as a way to pierce secrecy and prevent elite protection from shielding wrongdoers, underscoring that no amount of wealth or influence should insulate people from justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DeSantis Details Legislation Behind Releasing Epstein Docs, Says Ghislaine Maxwell Can't Be The Only One Responsible | The Daily CallerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Meanwhile, a bunch of dangerous bills are suddenly on the brink of passing — bills that would unleash massive real estate developments in rural areas, allow the governor to designate domestic terrorists, and weaken union rights for public school teachers — after squeaking through committee hearings by a single vote.

Today on The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric and Chris react to Iran, the regime's brutality, and why Eric says Americans cannot grasp what life under that system is like. They break down media propaganda, why Eric says he trusts President Trump's judgment in a complex war moment, and what the hawk and dove sign made him think about the grim cost of conflict. And Eric shares updates from Florida events, why he was impressed by Ron DeSantis in person, and a life saving segment supporting Israel's national EMS. Subscribe for clips from The Eric Metaxas Show to hear politics and culture from a Christian perspective.

In this podcast, Jeff discusses the attack on the Iranian terror regime by the U.S. and Israel — and the impact on the Middle East and the world. Will loud MAGA voices continue to do all they can to stop the fall of the mullahs of Iran? Or will they put aside their anti-semitism for the sake of America and the free world?

Could the DOJ use a shakeup at the top? He runs Florida as efficiently and effectively as any conservative (or otherwise) governor in any state, but he's going to run out of time soon. We also discuss Elon Musk's consistently correct remarks about the Epstein files.

In Episode 411 Ken and Dave discuss Trump's Rome visit, SCOTUS ruling on tariffs, rising tensions with Iran, DeSantis touting a balanced budget, the Colin Gray trial, the former Prince Andrew arrest, and the alien files.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 20, 2026. 0:30 Today, we reflect on the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson — civil rights leader, founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, two-time presidential candidate, and a man who undeniably shaped America’s political and cultural conversation for decades. But the debate today isn’t about whether he mattered. It’s about whether he meets the historic threshold for one of the nation’s highest ceremonial honors: lying in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. After Mike Johnson declined a request to grant that distinction, critics cried partisanship. We slow the conversation down and ask a deeper question: What is the standard? The Rotunda is reserved for figures deemed central to the constitutional story of the United States — a rare honor previously extended to individuals such as Rosa Parks, Billy Graham, and even Pierre Charles L'Enfant. So where is the line between influence and national consensus? Between impact and constitutional significance? We discuss Jackson’s contributions, his controversies, and the broader principle at stake: preserving the Rotunda as sacred civic space — not a stage for popularity or partisanship. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US Supreme Court struck down President Trump's use of Tariffs without congressional authorization. The United States and Indonesia finalized a bilateral trade agreement today that will lower tariffs between the two countries to 19%. Jesse Jackson's body will not lie in state under the Capital Rotunda.Jackson's family had requested that his body be allowed to lie in state, but that request was denied by Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 The Supreme Court of the United States handed down a 6–3 decision striking down President Donald Trump’s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The Court made clear: that particular statute can’t be used as the vehicle for those tariffs. But that didn’t end the story. Within hours, the administration pivoted — announcing a new 10% tariff under the Trade Act of 1974, a separate law that explicitly grants the president temporary tariff authority. In fact, even members of the Court noted there are other statutory paths available. So what are we witnessing — constitutional chaos or constitutional chess? 16:00 We got a question for the American Mamas: “I’m so glad I grew up in the ’80s. How can you keep up with all the trends today?” It sparks a lively (and hilarious) walk down memory lane as Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to compare the universal “just knew it” culture of the 1980s with today’s lightning-fast, social-media-driven world. From slang that changes overnight to the pressure of documenting everything online, we explore how growing up before smartphones may have been a hidden blessing. The conversation turns to modern milestones — over-the-top weddings, pricey bachelorette trips, elaborate gender reveals — and how platforms like TikTok and Twitter have transformed private celebrations into public productions. What used to be punch, mints, and a phone call has become curated content and camera-ready moments. It’s a funny, relatable look at generational shifts, cultural pressure, and why some of us are grateful our most embarrassing moments weren’t captured in 4K. Got a question for the American Mamas? Visit americangroundradio.com/mamas and click “Ask the Mamas.” 23:00 President Donald Trump has directed the Secretary of Defense and other agencies to begin identifying and releasing government files related to UFOs, unidentified aerial phenomena, and any potential information connected to extraterrestrial life. Laugh if you want — but for years, trained Navy and Air Force pilots have reported aerial objects performing maneuvers that appear to defy conventional aerodynamics. These aren’t backyard videos or internet hoaxes. They’re encounters documented by military aviators asking a serious question: what exactly are we seeing? We explore the long shadow of Area 51, Cold War-era secrecy, and how government disinformation about experimental aircraft may have fueled decades of alien speculation. We also separate fact from fiction when it comes to so-called “chemtrails” versus ordinary condensation trails — and why conspiracy theories persist. 26:00 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis traveled to Kentucky this week with a bold message: Congress won’t fix itself — and it’s time for the states to step in. Testifying before Kentucky lawmakers, DeSantis urged them to support an Article V constitutional convention aimed at passing a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. With the national debt approaching $40 trillion, he argued that without permanent structural changes, Washington’s “muscle memory” of spending and compromise will continue — no matter which party is in power. We Dig Deep into break down how an Article V convention works, why 34 states are required to trigger it, and where the effort currently stands. Twenty states have already signed on — mostly Republican-led — but even if every remaining red state joined, supporters would still need buy-in from purple or Democrat-led legislatures. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A social media post from Congressman Randy Fine has gone viral — and sparked a firestorm. Fine responded to comments tied to New York political circles suggesting restrictions on dogs in public housing, referencing concerns rooted in Islamic views that consider dogs unclean. Fine pushed back bluntly, arguing that if Americans were ever forced to choose between their pets and accommodating religious restrictions, it wouldn’t be a difficult decision. Critics immediately labeled the remarks Islamophobic. Supporters say the point wasn’t about religion — it was about culture, assimilation, and whether American traditions should bend to accommodate beliefs that conflict with everyday life in the U.S. In this segment, we unpack the controversy, the statistics behind America’s deep attachment to pets — including service and therapy dogs — and the broader debate over cultural expectations in a free society. We also discuss Fine’s proposed “Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act” and what it symbolizes in the larger conversation about immigration, religious freedom, and preserving American norms. 35:30 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 cowboys and Gavin Newsom's dyslexia, to the airport being named after President Trump can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We talk about Supreme Court’s 6–3 ruling on presidential tariff authority and what it means for the balance of power in Washington. When former Vice President Mike Pence praised the decision as a win for the Constitution, was it a straightforward defense of separation of powers—or a subtle jab at Donald Trump? And we end today's show with the powerful Olympic story of Alysa Liu—an American gold medal victory with international intrigue and a reminder of the opportunities and freedoms that define the American dream.

"150 universities have adopted neutrality policies just since October 7th. I'm on the losing end of this trend." — Brian SoucekUniversities keep claiming what they see as the moral high ground of neutrality. But Brian Soucek, who holds the MLK chair at UC Davis School of Law, believes that's a dangerous myth. In his new book, The Opinionated University: Academic Freedom, Diversity, and the Myth of Neutrality in American Higher Education, Soucek argues in favor of the biased university. His argument is that even (or, perhaps, particularly) when universities stay quiet, they're actually taking sides through their policies, their hiring, their building names, their actions. Silence isn't neutral. It's ideological.This fetish with neutrality is gaining in popularity, Soucek warns. Since October 7th, an estimated 150 universities have adopted neutrality pledges—pushed by well-funded efforts from the Goldwater Institute and others. Every pledge has a vague moral carve-out: universities will still speak when their "mission is at stake." But everyone has a mission and they are all different. That's the whole point. Soucek claims the moral high ground of pluralism. That's why he wants Boston College to be different from Yale, UC Davis different from University of Austin. The flattening of higher education into some imagined neutral sameness is what terrifies this classical liberal.The real crisis, Soucek insists, isn't self-censoring students or woke professors. It's the external threat of federal funding cuts, hostile state legislatures, a Trump administration that has declared DEI illegal without exactly making it so. Universities are staying quiet because, as one UC president put it, "We don't want to be the tallest nail." But Harvard's faculty spoke out through the AAUP, and it changed the conversation. For Soucek, silence isn't safety. It's surrender. Eventually everyone will become the tallest nail. And will be flattened by a hammer-wielding ideological foe.On the promise or threat of AI, Soucek is blunt: the idea of objective algorithms deciding what statues to take down or what books to read sounds to him "completely dystopian." We'd lose something essential if we stopped allowing communities to make these contested decisions differently, he says. For Soucek, that's not a bug of an otherwise unbiased university. It's the feature of any credible institute of higher learning. Five Takeaways●      Neutrality Is a Myth: Universities claim neutrality but act in non-neutral ways—through policies, hiring, building names. Silence is a choice, not an absence of choice.●      150 Universities Signed Neutrality Pledges Since October 7th: Well-funded efforts from the Goldwater Institute are pushing this flattening of higher education. Soucek sees himself on the losing end.●      The External Threats Are the Real Crisis: Not self-censoring students. Federal funding cuts are existential. Universities are staying quiet so as not to be "the tallest nail."●      Pluralism, Not Homogeneity: Different universities should have different missions. That's why University of Austin is fine. New College Florida—where changes were imposed from above—is a disaster.●      AI Objectivity Is Dystopian: Letting algorithms decide which statues to take down or which books to read? We'd lose something essential. Contested decisions should stay contested. About the GuestBrian Soucek is Professor of Law and holds the Martin Luther King Jr. Chair at UC Davis School of Law. He is the author of The Opinionated University: Academic Freedom, Diversity, and the Myth of Neutrality in American Higher Education. He earned his JD from Yale Law School and his undergraduate degree from Boston College.ReferencesConcepts mentioned:●      The Kalven Report was a 1967 University of Chicago faculty report on institutional neutrality.

West Palm Beach Airport may soon bear the name President Donald J. Trump—and Joe Pags says the left won't know what hit them. Just waiting on Gov. DeSantis to sign off, and the trolling level is legendary. Then the ICE school “walkouts” narrative gets shredded—Pags reminds everyone skipping school isn't some protected First Amendment act. And what about the claim that ICE is hiring “bounty hunters”? The truth behind that headline is jaw-dropping. Plus—this is huge—former FBI profiler James R. Fitzgerald joins the show and delivers a gripping psychological breakdown of the Nancy Guthrie case. Why is there still “no new information”? What does that actually signal in an investigation? And the profile he outlines of the potential suspect will absolutely make you think twice. High energy, big headlines, and insider analysis you won't hear anywhere else.

   While the left works hard to find any little thing that looks bad for ICE or our current enforcement of immigration, the man in charge turns out to be a real human with a real heart.  Wait until you hear the story Tom Homan told at a conference about the victims of our open borders.    According to a report by the Topeka Cap Journal, democrats approved all kinds of voter packets to be sent to Kansans that never requested them.  This is a huge scam.    We have the information you need to disable that start/stop button on your car.  Ron DeSantis hammers NYC over the Mayor's new budget as it's bigger than the entire state of Florida budget.    In sports, no Jerome Tang spells success for KSU as they get a win.  The Royals take batting practice with the new ball/strike computer system on at Surprise Stadium.  It happened on a day the leader of the player's union resigned in a sex scandal.    And a self proclaimed "woke bit__" skating for team USA had a little too much Trump hate in her heart and flamed out on the ice and then embarrassed us all as a total baby balling her eyes out.  Ughh.    Tiger Woods is in the news and our Final Final is a beautiful message about Jesse Jackson.

Our guest this week, investigative journalist Leo Hohmann, asks the question Why is the Trump administration supporting Biden's Orwellian kill switches on all our automobiles as of 2026?  Hohmann further comments that Trump's advancement of a digital surveillance state is coming at us from all angles. A couple of weeks ago, 57 Republican members of Congress joined Democrats in voting down an amendment that would have cancelled the mandatory kill switch portion of the Biden bill.  The original pro-kill switch bill was drawing backlash from conservatives like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. From alternative energy programs to AI, elites have been at the forefront of promoting boondoggle programs that enrich the few powerful members at the expense of normal, freedom-loving persons everywhere.  If it makes money and increases control of populations and cultures, it is embraced by those who would be masters of us all. For a continued analysis of the political implications of Trump's support of the surveillance state, read Leo Hohmann's Substack article “Why is the Trump administration supporting Biden's Orwellian mandatory kill switches on all new automobiles?

How does it feel to kick your own ass, daily?The economy is booming.Inflation cooled in January, dropping price increases to their lowest level in nine months, new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed. The lower-than-expected reading defied fears of a tariff-induced hike in overall costs.Prices rose 2.4% in January compared to a year earlier, according to the Consumer Price Index.Inflation stands at its lowest level since May, but it remains nearly a half-percentage point higher than the Fed's target rate of 2%.Affordability remains a concern for many Americans as the political calendar turns closer to election season.The data arrived days after fresh hiring figures showed stronger-than-expected job growth in January, even though an updated estimate released at the same time indicated a near-paralysis of the labor market last year.Almost every Democrat-controlled state is in the midst of massive fraud scandals. CA has been getting money from DEAD PEOPLE.No wonder the live ones are leaving.And in the battle of the governors, FL picked up a big win.What is the cost for CA in losing Zuckerberg.

Florida first lady Casey DeSantis discussed her state's initiative to test for contaminants in food products, including baby formula, candy, and bread. The tests revealed that 17 out of 24 baby formulas had problematic levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury. Florida is publishing these results to inform consumers and is encouraging other states to join the effort. The initiative also found glyphosate in many bread brands and arsenic in candy, particularly in Nerds and Jolly Ranchers. DeSantis emphasized the need for transparency and accountability from food companies to protect public health. You will not want to miss this important conversation!

The Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Acting Director of ICE, and the Director of USCIS are all expected to testify today before the House Homeland Security Committee. This hearing takes place as the government faces another potential partial shutdown if Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding is not passed by the end of the week. Representative Brad Knott (R-NC) joins the Rundown to discuss the standoff over Democratic demands for ICE reform. Florida is now mandating that all driving tests be conducted in English only. While critics argue the rule is rooted in bias rather than safety data, Governor Ron DeSantis and other proponents defend the change as a common-sense measure to ensure drivers can comprehend road signs and laws. Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins joins the Rundown to discuss the policy—catalyzed by a fatal 2025 crash involving a non-English proficient commercial driver—and why he hopes the rest of the country follows the Sunshine State's lead.

Is the food you feed your children safe? Florida first lady Casey DeSantis joins me to reveal the shocking truth about toxins in America's food supply. Casey DeSantis discusses her groundbreaking new initiative, ExposingToxicFoods.com. While the FDA and EPA have been asleep at the wheel, Florida has taken matters into its own hands — testing common grocery store items like baby formula, candy, and bread. The results are terrifying. From arsenic and lead to glyphosate and heavy metals, the "safe" foods we have trusted for decades are fueling a chronic illness epidemic. We cover how Florida is leading the charge on informed consent and to get to the bottom of the chronic illness epidemic.
