SCHEDULE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 5-28-26.1890 VIKINGS(1) Anatol Lieven discusses Moscow's escalation and the future of Ukraine negotiations, noting that Russia has threatened targeted strikes on Ukrainian headquarters in Kyiv. High casualty rates and stalled front lines contribute to a mood of frustration in Moscow.(2) Anatol Lieven examines the struggle for UK Labour Party leadership, where Andy Burnham is the preferred candidate to replace Keir Starmer but must first win a by-election. The rising Reform Party poses a significant threat to established political figures.(3) Josh Rogin discusses the Trump-Xi summit, noting that the President's visit to Beijing featured major CEOs but yielded no new trade agreements. Both nations remain locked in a trade war with mismatched expectations regarding economic cooperation.(4) Josh Rogin examines upcoming Section 301 investigations that will address Chinese forced labor and dumping. Simultaneously, a critical shortage of magnets from China is impacting the production of U.S. defense technology and fighter jets.(5) Evan Ellis describes turmoil in Bolivia, where supporters of Evo Morales have blockaded La Paz, causing severe humanitarian shortages. These groups utilize military-style tactics to protect drug territories and pressure the government while Morales evades justice.(6) Evan Ellis examines electoral crossroads in Colombia and Peru, with Colombia facing a choice between leftist and pro-U.S. candidates in its upcoming election. In Peru, Keiko Fujimori leads a narrow race with implications for regional security and Chinese influence.(7) Evan Ellis discusses legacies and alliances in Brazil, Venezuela, and Cuba, where Flavio Bolsonaro seeks U.S. alignment in Brazil, while the U.S. conducts military exercises near Venezuela. Meanwhile, the U.S. offers financial aid to Cuba to encourage democratic and economic transitions.(8) Evan Ellis previews Pope Leo's historic visit to South America, including his former missionary grounds. In Argentina, President Milei struggles with declining approval as Peronist opposition organizes for future electoral challenges.(9) Stephen Mazie discusses Supreme Court challenges to birthright citizenship and the President's power over the Federal Reserve. Rulings could drastically redefine executive authority and independent federal agencies.(10) Stephen Mazie examines the Supreme Court's recent ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which has disrupted primary elections by allowing the elimination of majority-minority districts. This reflects a long-term effort by the conservative majority to weaken federal oversight.(11) Jeff McCausland analyzes the tense naval standoff between U.S. and Iranian forces in the Strait of Hormuz. Critics argue the administration failed to anticipate the blockade or effectively address regional Iranian proxies.(12) Jeff McCausland discusses Russian casualties and NATO's growing nuclear anxiety, noting that Russia has reportedly suffered 500,000 deaths in Ukraine, creating severe manpower shortages. Consequently, European allies like France are considering moving nuclear assets eastward due to waning confidence in U.S. support.(13) Simon Constable and Jim McTague examine global commodities and the economic impact of war, noting that high energy prices, including $8 diesel in France, are straining consumer budgets. While some commodity prices are stabilizing, the ongoing conflict in Iran continues to drive global inflation.(14) Simon Constable and Jim McTague discuss the leadership vacuum in the United Kingdom as internal Labour Party disputes intensify. Some elites are calling for Tony Blair's return while the Reform Party gains traction among dissatisfied voters.(15) Douglas Messier and David Livingston discuss the Starship 12 mission, which achieved significant milestones despite booster failures. NASA has also awarded major contracts to Blue Origin for lunar rovers and a specialized base lander.(16) Douglas Messier and David Livingston examine NASA's phased plan to establish a permanently crewed moon base by 2032. The timeline involves uncrewed test landings and orbital refueling to prepare for future human missions.

As the Supreme Court prepares for a flurry of major opinions in June, legal experts are closely watching high-stakes cases that could reshape executive power, civil rights, and constitutional law. Shannon Bream, FOX News chief legal analyst and Fox News Sunday anchor, joins to discuss upcoming decisions on birthright citizenship, the President's authority to fire federal agency officials, and state bans on transgender athletes. Later, she unpacks the ongoing legal battle over Alabama's congressional maps and why conservative justices are signaling they have no plans to retire. President Trump has pledged broader transparency, even when it comes to declassifying UAP files—or as many of us know them, UFOs. Twice this month, the Trump administration began unsealing United States UFO files officially known as the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters or PURSUE. The files reveal images and other documents related to investigations into unidentified anomalous phenomena. However, the unprecedented release still has many believers questioning the data, creating more questions than answers. Ryan Graves is a former Navy F-18 pilot and co-founder of Americans for Safe Aerospace, who testified before Congress back in 2023 about his encounters with UAPs.

Courts are supposed to treat like cases alike. But research consistently finds that judges' backgrounds and beliefs can influence their decisions. Most research focuses on courts where individual votes are public, but what about in systems where only a collective judgment is published? A new study uses innovative statistical analysis of Swiss court data to shed light on exactly this problem, with implications for how judicial institutions everywhere should be designed. Joining host Alan Renwick are two of the study's authors, both from the UCL Department of Political Science: Ben Lauderdale, Professor of Political Science, and Judith Spirig, Associate Professor of Political Science. Mentioned in this episode: Inferring Individual Preferences from Group Decisions: Judicial Preference Variation and Aggregation on Collegial Courts by Dominik Hangartner, Benjamin E. Lauderdale, and Judith Spirig.

A recent court ruling could reshape how insurers apply public offering exclusions in D&O claims while new AI laws are creating fresh cyber liability risks for businesses nationwide. In this episode, Mike Radak and David Finz, Alliant Specialty Claims & Legal, discuss the EB Holdings D&O coverage decision and why the court rejected a carrier's broad interpretation of the public offering exclusion. They also explore emerging AI liability laws, chatbot-related risks, deepfake regulation and what businesses should be doing now to reduce cyber and regulatory exposure.

Jessica Furst Johnson, partner at Lex Politica, and Ilya Shapiro, director of constitutional studies at the Manhattan Institute, join "Court Watch" host Alex Swoyer to discuss the 2025-2026 Supreme Court term and the biggest cases still pending. The justices are expeted to issue their rulings by the end of June. 

Shannon Bream outlines what's expected as the Supreme Court prepares to release major decisions, including potential rulings on birthright citizenship, transgender athletes in school sports, and limits on presidential executive authority. She explains that the birthright citizenship case appears likely to produce a clear-cut ruling rather than a split interpretation, noting strong skepticism from justices during oral arguments. The discussion also covers the Voting Rights Act-related case emerging from Virginia, which could be turned away quickly due to its state-law foundation, along with broader geopolitical context tied to President Trump's visit to Beijing and ongoing U.S.-China tensions over trade, Taiwan, and sanctions. The segment closes with lighter DC commentary on infrastructure debates around the Washington reflecting pool and the political fights surrounding it.

Supreme Court Ruling Shakes Up the Voting Rights Landscape and Nonprofits Brace for Change In this week's episode of the Nonprofit News Feed by Whole Whale, the hosts delve into the implications of a recent Supreme Court decision that significantly guts the Voting Rights Act. In Louisiana v. Callais, the 6–3 conservative majority found that a majority-Black congressional district in Louisiana constituted an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. In short, Democrat-held districts representing large Black populations, designed to enfranchise historically marginalized communities (such as those in Memphis), face the threat of elimination in states with conservative legislatures. With states rapidly redistricting, nonprofits involved in civil rights and voter mobilization face the challenge of adapting to new political boundaries and shifting voter demographics. Key Insights: The Supreme Court's decision could lead to the dilution of political power for historically marginalized communities by breaking up established districts. This rapid redistricting process disrupts the groundwork laid by nonprofits for upcoming elections, necessitating quick strategic pivots. Nonprofits must reassess their geographic impact and reforge relationships with new district representatives to continue their advocacy effectively. Other Stories: The episode also touches on the ongoing legal battle involving Elon Musk and OpenAI, highlighting concerns about nonprofit and for-profit intersections. Whole Whale's Nonprofit Wellness Index, offering a snapshot of the sector's health, shows improvement from last year, suggesting a recovery from previous downturns.

Hans von Spakovsky joins the show to break down ongoing legal battles over congressional redistricting, focusing on recent Supreme Court-related rulings and state-level disputes. The discussion centers on Tennessee, where debates over district boundaries and representation are intensifying, with criticism aimed at arguments framed around race-based representation while pointing to examples like Memphis-area districts electing a white Democratic representative. The conversation then shifts to Virginia, where the state Supreme Court struck down a Democratic-backed redistricting effort for failing to follow constitutional procedures, a decision Hans describes as a major setback for Democrats and unlikely to be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court due to deference on state constitutional interpretation. Additional context includes Alabama's ongoing push to revisit its congressional map after earlier court rulings, with broader commentary on how Voting Rights Act claims are being applied and challenged in current litigation.

Following a 5th Circuit Court ruling seeking to prevent telemedicine prescriptions of the abortion pill mifepristone and a subsequent Supreme Court order for a one-week administrative stay on that decision, Arizona state senator Analise Ortiz joined ForbesWomen editor Maggie McGrath to talk about what the legal back and forth means for her constituents. "Arizona voters overwhelmingly approved a proposition to enshrine abortion access into the state constitution," Senator Ortiz said. "Now, with all of this happening in the Fifth Circuit, it now puts things into further chaos and confusion for Arizonans when the voters have already spoken on this issue."

Hour 4 centers on major Supreme Court activity, including a sharp exchange over immigration protections for Haitians where Justice Alito pushes back on arguments framing policy decisions through racial categories, highlighting how definitions of race and nationality shift over time and complicate legal reasoning. The discussion broadens into criticism of ideological blocs on the Court and renewed political pressure following recent rulings, including calls from some Democrats to expand the Court after a 6–3 Voting Rights Act decision and a unanimous First Amendment ruling favoring pregnancy resource centers. The hour concludes with a major Justice Department shift rolling back Biden-era ATF firearm regulations, including efforts to expand background-check requirements for private gun sales at shows, with officials arguing the previous rules overreached and burdened lawful gun owners and small dealers.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 29, 2026. We open with a landmark day at the United States Supreme Court — two massive decisions that will reshape elections, redistricting, and the fight for life in America for decades to come. We dig deep into the Callais decision, which effectively ends the use of race as a primary basis for drawing congressional districts, overturning decades of lower court precedent that the majority says forced states to engage in the very racial discrimination the Constitution forbids. We walk through Justice Alito's majority opinion line by line, explain what Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act actually says versus how it has been misapplied, cover Justice Thomas's concurring opinion noting that redistricting was never in the Voting Rights Act to begin with, and ask the question Barack Obama apparently hasn't considered — if racial gerrymandering is the only way black candidates can win, how did you get elected president? We also cover the Supreme Court's ruling protecting crisis pregnancy centers in New Jersey from a politically motivated fishing expedition by the state's attorney general, who demanded 10 years of donor records from a clinic that had committed no crime — simply because it doesn't perform abortions and actively counsels women on alternatives. The Court said that's not an investigation. That's political retribution designed to silence free speech through fear of association. In our Top 3 Three Things You Need to Know, North Carolina has identified 34,000 dead people still on its voter rolls through a routine data cross-check — a number state officials say was far higher than expected. We talk about why this isn't unique to North Carolina, why 17 blue states are currently refusing to cooperate with federal voter roll verification efforts, and why every illegal vote cast in the name of a dead person is an act of voter suppression against a living one. Then the Supreme Court strikes down racial gerrymandering in a ruling that could eventually reshape dozens of congressional districts across the country. And the United Arab Emirates — the target of more than 2,800 Iranian missile and drone attacks in the past month — announced it is leaving OPEC, potentially beginning the unraveling of the entire organization that Iran helped found. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that applies to Apple, private schools, churches, and businesses of every kind — why do organizations so often decline or collapse after losing their founders? We talk about Steve Jobs and what happened to Apple in the 1990s without him, a private school in Arlington, Texas that had a waiting list and is now closing its doors after pushing out its visionary founder, and why jealousy among the people closest to the founder is almost always at the root of it. The lights of the party are gone. And it goes dark. We dig deep into the redistricting earthquake — walking through exactly what the Supreme Court's ruling means for Louisiana, which had been forced by a lower court to draw a 250-mile-long, two-mile-wide district linking black neighborhoods from Baton Rouge to Shreveport. Louisiana will have to redraw its maps for the third time since 2020. We also connect the ruling to Representative Cleo Fields' press conference response, correct the historical record about Louisiana's voting history, and point out the uncomfortable truth that it was the Democrat Party — not the Republican Party — that wrote and enforced the poll taxes, literacy tests, and property requirements that Fields invoked to condemn today's decision. We also cover the April Gallup survey showing that high cost of living remains the number one financial concern for Americans, with 55% saying their financial situation is worsening — and we put that in context against the continuing inflation baked in from Biden-era spending that is still working its way through the economy. For our Bright Spot, the U.S. Geological Survey has discovered 2.3 million metric tons of economically recoverable lithium in the Appalachian region — enough to manufacture 130 million electric vehicles, 180 billion laptops, or 500 billion cell phones, and enough to replace 328 years of lithium imports. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum calls it reclaiming America's mineral independence. We call it one of the most significant resource discoveries on American soil in a generation — even if most of it sits under blue states that have spent decades fighting mining. We also cover Rosie O'Donnell claiming the White House Correspondents' Dinner assassination attempt was staged — including apparently Butler, Pennsylvania — and respond accordingly. And we close with King Charles presenting President Trump with the bell of the HMS Trump, a British submarine that sank six Japanese ships during World War II, with the message — should you ever need to get a hold of us, just give us a ring.

The third hour of the April 20, 2026, show opened with Charlie James advocating for closed primaries and term limits while slamming the state of SC roads and RNC marketing strategies. He followed this with a deep dive into "interesting" Supreme Court judgments regarding race-based districts and their electoral consequences. The hour also featured Scott Bessent, who warned listeners about the hidden costs of withholding extra pay just to get a larger tax refund, before closing with updates on the I-85 deputy shooting and a critique of Senator Lindsey Graham.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 28 minutesSynopsis: This morning (4/16/26), in lieu of our usual morning Mishlei, we had a short Q&A session! We discussed three questions: (1) To what degree can we "diagnose" whether something in our life was hashgachah pratis? (2) What does the Rambam mean by all the aggadic statements he brings down in Hilchos Deios Perek 7 about lashon ha'ra? (3) What are my views on how/whether we do/should implement the halacha about dividing one's learning time into thirds: a third in Torah she'bi'Chsav, a third in Torah she'baal Peh, and a third in Talmud? (I'll point out that these three questions fell neatly into these three categories.)-----מקורות:רד"ק - תהלים קמה:יזרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות דעות פרק זBenjamin Brown - "From Principles to Rules and from Musar to Halakhah: The Hafetz Hayim's Rulings on Libel and Gossip"רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תלמוד תורה א:יאEvidently, in 2023, I spent around a week updating my understanding of all these sources.

Send us Fan MailThe hosts discuss cannabis legalization news dated April 12, 2026, focusing on a Texas judge granting an injunction affecting hemp/THCA policy ahead of 4/20 and an Ohio judge ruling that Ohio's hemp restrictions are discriminatory because intoxicating cannabinoids can be sold through licensed marijuana channels but not ordinary retail when derived from hemp. They argue hemp loopholes (Delta-9/THCA) created bad policy and market chaos, cite enforcement issues like a large hemp shipment being stopped at a FedEx center, and predict the “civil war” between hemp and regulated cannabis will end as loopholes close. They say marijuana Schedule III rescheduling is being held up in the White House, reference Roger Stone's claim about internal blocking, and express skepticism it will move under Trump. They also warn Virginia's coming licensing lottery will be cash- and timeline-intensive, note Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro's projected $1.3B plan faces a Republican Senate, and mention North Carolina's advisory report estimating a $2.2B unregulated market.00:00 Welcome And Headlines00:36 Newsletter And Story Rundown04:56 Texas Hemp Injunction Explained07:50 Shipping Loopholes And Rescheduling Doubts09:54 Virginia Licensing Reality Check13:36 Ohio Hemp Ruling And THCA Science17:13 Schedule Three Stalled Politics20:00 Illinois Policy Nonsense And PA Budget Pitch23:16 Strain Names Teaser23:37 Viral Strain Breakdown24:35 Trust and Online Hype26:04 Hemp Loophole Fallout27:50 Licensing Lawsuit Reality29:28 Funding Social Equity Dreams33:22 Branding Rules by State36:59 Dispensary Build Grind38:24 North Carolina Market Push40:02 Stigma and Medical Future42:34 420 Plans and Wrap UpSupport the showGet our newsletter: https://bit.ly/3VEn9vu

Q&A - Trump's Success w/Supreme Court Rulings

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen tracking legal twists involving Donald Trump, but here we are in early April 2026, and the courts are buzzing with cases that feel like echoes of his influence. Just days ago, on March 25, Rutgers Law School reported a unanimous Supreme Court decision shielding internet service providers from liability for their users' piracy— a ruling that Trump supporters hailed as a win against overreaching tech regulations, reminiscent of his old battles with Big Tech in Silicon Valley. Then, on March 31, the high court struck down Colorado's ban on conversion therapy in a move that lit up social media, with Trump's name trending as allies praised it as protecting free speech and parental rights, straight out of his America First playbook.But the real firestorm hit with the Fourth Circuit's February 2026 bombshell in National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education v. Trump, where the court dove deep into challenges against DEI policies, citing Trump's long push to dismantle what he called "woke" mandates in education. Gibson Dunn's DEI Task Force Update from March 2 detailed how a new bill is making waves, forcing courts in states like Texas to void contracts with DEI provisions and empowering taxpayers to sue public entities for violations—think injunctive relief and attorney's fees for anyone calling out government overreach. Briefing wrapped in that Third Circuit appeal on November 3, 2025, and oral arguments kicked off March 6, 2026, keeping Trump's anti-DEI legacy alive and kicking.Meanwhile, government contracts got messy too. Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani's March update spotlighted Gemini Tech Services LLC v. United States, where the U.S. Court of Federal Claims ruled on February 5 that the Army violated an injunction in a bid protest over the Enhanced Army Global Logistics Enterprise procurement— a reminder that agencies can't dodge court orders, much like the accountability Trump demanded during his administration.Shifting to taxes, the IRS stirred the pot. Their Notice 2026-20 on March 18 extended relief for digital asset tracking, letting taxpayers use their own records instead of broker confirmations—a practical nod amid crypto chaos that Trump champions. And on March 9, the Tax Court upheld an IRS notice to Mammoth Cave Property, LLC, rejecting statute of limitations claims despite address glitches, as covered in the National Law Review's IRS roundup through March 25.Even FinCEN jumped in, launching a reporting rule on March 1 for all-cash residential real estate buys by LLCs or trusts—no mortgages allowed without disclosure—to curb money laundering, per DBL Law's alert. It's tightening the noose on anonymous deals, aligning with Trump's tough-on-crime stance.As these threads weave through the courts—from DEI takedowns to tax tech hurdles—Trump's shadow looms large, shaping debates on freedom, fairness, and federal power.

Temporary Protected Status for several countries is in legal limbo. The legal status known as TPS is an immigration status that allows people to temporarily live and work in the U.S. because of dangerous conditions in their home country such as war or environmental disasters.  Last fall, the Trump administration moved to end TPS for Somalia. It was set to end Tuesday, but a court ruling earlier in the month paused that. Additionally, on Monday the Supreme Court ruled to temporarily block the end of TPS for Haitians and Syrians.  Ana Pottratz Acosta is an immigration law expert and visiting clinical professor of law at the University of Minnesota. She joined MPR News host Nina Moini to sift through the meaning of the legal back-and-forth.
