The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: A political race war blew up in the Texas Democrat Party race for U.S. Senate last week and it is still erupting on the national level.Now, the Democrat Caucus leader in the Texas House, old Gene ‘Boo Hoo' Wu is having his race war comments exposed. It's all evidence that the Democrat Party wasn't just the party of slavery, racial segregation, and the KKK, it is still the party of racial separatism and conflict.And note the polling data (see page 14) just out on the Dem race for U.S. Senate – that party is massively divided upon racial lines.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.The University of Houston's Hobby School of Public Affairs has released new polling on the Republican and Democrat races for U.S. Senate as well as sentiment on President Trump. I offer evaluation of the GOP race on the show.An RGV Republican Texas House candidate gets it right: “It's kind of funny that they put fascism on here, but this is the real fascism, is them stomping on free speech.

He works in marketing, teaches geography, and is the son of a longtime Illinois Democratic state legislator.

We'll talk with him about domestic policy, foreign affairs, and what it's like running as a legacy in Illinois politics.

Send us a textFormer US Senator Mark Begich was born in Anchorage in 1962 to, at the time, Alaska State Senator Nick Begich who would go on to become US House Representative in 1970 and whose plane would disappear in 1972. Mark opened the Mother Lode night club when he was 16, was appointed to the youth commission by Mayor George Sullivan in 1980 and served in Mayor Tony Knowles' administration, all that before being elected to the Anchorage Assembly at age 26 -- the youngest ever to serve on that body. He was sworn in as mayor of Anchorage on July 1, 2003, and elected to the US Senate in 2008 defeating Senator Ted Stevens. He served just one term before being defeated by Sen. Dan Sullivan in 2014.Listen to Mark's brother Tom Begich's podcast episode here.Listen to Mark's son Jacob Begich's appearance on the podcast here.

This Day in Legal History: BlockburgerOn February 4, 1932, the United States Supreme Court decided Blockburger v. United States, 284 U.S. 299 (1932), a case that established an enduring rule in American criminal law known as the Blockburger test. This test is used to determine whether two offenses are sufficiently distinct to permit multiple punishments or prosecutions under the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment.In the case, the defendant was charged with multiple violations of the Harrison Narcotics Act for selling morphine on different occasions. The legal question was whether he could be prosecuted separately for each sale and for selling without proper prescription and for selling not in the original stamped package, even if these occurred during the same transaction.The Court held that each offense requires proof of a fact the other does not. If that's the case, then they are distinct for double jeopardy purposes. This became the “same elements” test, sometimes called the Blockburger test, and it remains a key tool for analyzing double jeopardy claims today.Notably, the test doesn't focus on whether the charges arise from the same conduct or transaction, but on whether each statutory provision requires proof of a fact which the other does not.This legal principle has been cited in thousands of cases, and it continues to shape how prosecutors and courts evaluate overlapping criminal charges.Ryan W. Routh, convicted of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump weeks before the 2024 presidential election, is scheduled for sentencing on Wednesday. Prosecutors are seeking a life sentence, citing months of planning, the use of disguises and multiple cellphones, and Routh's readiness to kill others to carry out the plot. He was arrested near Trump's West Palm Beach golf course in September 2024 after fleeing the scene and leaving behind a rifle and gear resembling body armor. At trial, Routh represented himself, making erratic statements and offering little in the way of a legal defense. He was convicted of five charges, including attempted assassination and illegal firearm possession. Routh claims he did not intend to kill Trump and has requested a 27-year sentence along with psychological treatment. The incident was the second assassination attempt on Trump during the campaign season. Prosecutors emphasized that Routh's actions could have succeeded had it not been for Secret Service intervention. Following the verdict, Routh attempted to stab himself with a pen in court and had to be restrained. Trump praised the conviction, calling Routh “an evil man with an evil intention.”Man convicted of attempting to assassinate Trump to be sentenced | ReutersNetflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos faced sharp questioning from U.S. senators over the company's proposed $82.7 billion acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery, a deal that could reshape the streaming and entertainment landscape. At a Senate antitrust hearing led by Republican Mike Lee, lawmakers from both parties expressed concern that the merger could reduce competition, limit job opportunities for entertainment workers, and reduce content diversity. Lee warned the deal might let Netflix dominate streaming and steer major Warner Bros franchises away from theaters or rivals. Sarandos defended Netflix's position, citing competition from platforms like YouTube, though senators noted YouTube's ad-based model differs from subscription services.The Department of Justice is currently reviewing the merger alongside a competing bid from Paramount Skydance. Paramount's proposal faces financing challenges, and its CEO, David Ellison, has ties to Donald Trump, raising political questions. Democratic Senator Cory Booker questioned Sarandos on whether Trump would influence the deal's approval, a notion Sarandos said he couldn't confirm. Sarandos argued that all viewing time on television is in direct competition, but senators remained skeptical of Netflix's claims that its competition includes ad-supported platforms. The hearing reflects broader unease about consolidation in streaming, and the DOJ's decision will ultimately shape the industry's direction.Netflix co-CEO faces grilling by US Senate panel over Warner Bros deal | ReutersThe U.S. Department of Justice and a majority of state attorneys general are appealing a major antitrust ruling in the case against Google over its dominance in the online search market. Although a federal judge previously determined that Google held a monopoly, he declined to impose significant structural remedies, such as requiring Google to sell its Chrome browser or stop paying Apple to make Google the default search engine on Apple devices. The government's appeal is expected to target this leniency.Google is also appealing the ruling and has requested a delay in compliance with the judge's order to share certain data with competitors while the appeals process is ongoing. The case, originally filed in 2020, marks one of the most significant antitrust challenges against a tech company in decades. The court noted that newer players like OpenAI have recently emerged, potentially altering the competitive landscape.The ruling was widely viewed as a partial win for Google, frustrating regulators who had hoped for broader changes to curb the company's influence in digital advertising and search. The appeal signals continued government efforts to pursue more aggressive antitrust enforcement in the tech sector.US files appeal in Google search antitrust case | Reuters This is a public episode.

The March 2003 issue of Reason Magazine carried an article by Sara Rimensnyder styled as "The Art of Self Defense: Gun Control on Trial," was about the story of how a 9mm semi-auto handgun, concealed illegally in a backpack, saved Tom Palmer's life from a dozen thugs in Lost Angeles. His mother gave him the weapon for self-defense. Democrats wanted to take it away. A Republican judge in 2014 applied a set of rulings by Republican justices on the Supreme Court, justices who'd been appointed by Republican presidents and Republicans in the US Senate. We're covering Tom Palmer, et. al., v. D.C. (2014)(26 July 2014). Here's a link to the Reason article referenced above from 2003: https://reason.com/2003/03/01/the-art-of-self-defense-2/ Here's a link to the decision in Tom Palmer's favor: https://michellawyers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Palmer-v.-District-of-Columbia_Memorandum-Decision-and-Order-re-Plaintiffs-Motion-for-Summary-Judgment-and-Defendants-Cross-Motion-for-Summary-Judgment.pdf The Republican Professor is a pro-correctly-articulating-and-defending-the-Second-Amendment Podcast.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 2, 2026. 0:30 When Donald Trump floats a bold idea, the reaction is instant—and explosive. We dive into the firestorm sparked by Trump’s comments about potentially nationalizing elections in states with broken systems, and the predictable cries of “dictator” and “authoritarian” that followed. But instead of panic, we slow things down and walk through the real constitutional, legal, and practical questions around election integrity, federal authority, and states’ rights. From Article I, Section 4, to the Equal Protection Clause, to the long-standing warnings in the Federalist Papers, this is a serious, clear-eyed discussion about voter fraud, mail-in ballots, and whether a nation that truly trusts its elections should be afraid to have this debate at all. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US is once again in a partial government shutdown. Last week, Democrats in the US Senate refused to pass a series of remaining funding bills that had previously been passed by Republicans in the House. The CEO of the nonprofit Abundant Blessings in Los Angeles has been arrested for fraud.First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said Alexander Soofer took $23 million of tax payer money ment to benefit homeless people in southern California and spent it instead on a lavish lifestyle with expensive vacations, a Range Rover, and designer clothes. Texas Democrat Taylor Rehmet beat Republican Leigh Wambsganss in a special election over the weekend for a Texas State Senate Seat. 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 Google search isn’t just getting worse by accident—it may be by design. We unpack explosive claims that Google deliberately degraded its search results to force users to search more often, rack up more ad views, and boost profits after hitting market saturation. Drawing on DOJ lawsuit memos, internal Google power struggles, and the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and alternatives like DuckDuckGo, the conversation digs into Big Tech arrogance, antitrust concerns, and why users are quietly abandoning traditional search. From “don’t be evil” to profit-first search manipulation, this is a blunt look at how Google may have broken its own product—and why people are finally noticing. 16:00 Did the Grammys turn into a night of hypocrisy and virtue signaling? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson break down what they saw at the Grammy Awards—from nauseating fashion and celebrity grandstanding to public shots at ICE and the on-air bashing of Nicki Minaj. We dive into Hollywood double standards, cancel culture, and why Minaj’s faith, resilience, and clapback resonated with so many viewers. The Mamas also contrast Jelly Roll’s bold Christian testimony with what they describe as darker, more provocative performances, framing the night as a snapshot of a larger cultural and spiritual battle. It’s a no-holds-barred take on the Grammys, celebrity hypocrisy, and why standing firm in faith matters more than ever. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. We break down why the First Amendment is not a shield for trespassing, disrupting worship, or breaking the law, dismantling celebrity outrage over so-called “journalistic rights” in the wake of Grammy-era protests. From Don Lemon to Hollywood activists, there is no special exemption from criminal law just because a camera is rolling. The conversation then pivots to California’s future with an in-depth interview featuring Steve Hilton, Republican candidate for governor. Hilton, an immigrant who fled the legacy of European socialism, lays out a stark indictment of one-party Democratic rule, soaring costs, crushing regulations, and mass exodus from the Golden State. Framing California as the epicenter of far-left extremism with national consequences, Hilton makes the case for restoring common sense, economic freedom, and constitutional order—warning that this race could determine not just California’s fate, but America’s direction. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 How did the border spiral so far out of control? We break down how illegal immigration dropped to historic lows under Trump, only to explode under Biden as enforcement collapsed and asylum law was fundamentally twisted. The result wasn’t compassion, but chaos: a system flipped on its head, overwhelmed communities, and an asylum process so diluted that over 95% of claims ultimately fail. Abusing asylum doesn’t just undermine immigration law—it erodes the rights of Americans and destroys a tool meant to protect the truly persecuted. 35:30 A landmark $2 million jury verdict could reshape the national debate over so-called gender-affirming care for minors, and it's a Bright Spot. A New York jury—yes, in a deep blue state—held a doctor and psychiatrist accountable for approving and performing a double mastectomy on a 16-year-old girl who later detransitioned and says the irreversible procedure harmed her. This historic transgender medical malpractice verdict sends a clear message: doctors are not above accountability, especially when children and permanent surgeries are involved. After years of rushed evaluations, skipped safeguards, and the misuse of mental-health diagnoses to justify irreversible interventions, this ruling is a turning point—one that puts child protection, medical standards of care, and biological reality back at the center of the conversation. 40:00 Accountability suddenly got real. We react to reports that Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee after Congress threatened criminal contempt over their refusal to cooperate. At issue: what the Clintons know about the Epstein files—and why they initially declined to show up. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with a halftime show that will make you say, "Whoa!" Turning Point USA is taking on the Super Bowl halftime show—and doing it their own way. In response to the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny, TPUSA announced an alternative “All-American Halftime Show” featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 29, 2026. 0:30 A bizarre attempted jailbreak at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center turns into something far darker. We unpack the shocking story of a man posing as an FBI agent—armed not with a gun, but a pizza cutter—who tried to free Luigi Mangione, an accused cold-blooded killer with no bail. What starts as absurd buffoonery quickly exposes a disturbing cultural trend: the romanticization of murder and the erasure of victims in modern political discourse. From social media fan clubs celebrating an accused killer, to a broader indictment of the left’s moral inversion on life, justice, and accountability, we confront how a culture that excuses violence, ignores victims, and plays God cannot sustain a free society. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. A government shutdown is looming as the US Senate failed to pass a series of spending bills which had already been authorized by the House. The Communist Mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani announced this week that he wants to institute a wealth tax on New York Citizens. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar announced she's running for governor in her home state. 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 A landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling on election law might be one of the most consequential decisions of this century—and a sharp rebuke to how the courts handled the 2020 election lawsuits. The cases were never truly heard, only dismissed on “standing,” raising serious questions about judicial responsibility, election integrity, and what it means for a free society when no one can challenge the law. 16:00 Do women get judged more harshly than men for the state of their homes? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the age-old double standard around house cleanliness, company panic, and who really gets blamed when the house is a mess. From a Good Housekeeping study that proves women are judged more for dirty rooms, to hilarious confessions about “scary moms,” hoarder husbands, and shutting the bedroom door, the conversation hits close to home. With humor, honesty, and a few guilty admissions of judgment, the American Mamas dig into social expectations, mom guilt, messy vs. truly dirty houses, and why women often carry the mental load of keeping a home presentable. It’s a funny, honest discussion about motherhood, marriage, cleanliness standards, and the unspoken rules women are expected to live by—especially when company is coming over. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We take on a morally offensive story that is impossible to ignore: Hunter Biden’s continued refusal to meet or acknowledge his seven-year-old daughter, Navy Joan Roberts. From the Biden family’s long denial of her existence to the media’s role in looking the other way, the conversation digs into why this scandal matters far beyond partisan politics. The discussion exposes the details of Hunter Biden’s child support case, including a court agreement where the child’s mother agreed to accept far less money—on one condition: that he meet his daughter. He still hasn’t. This isn’t about politics, money, or embarrassment, but about responsibility, fatherhood, and a culture that has lost its sense of shame. It’s a blunt, emotional look at family values, accountability, and why abandoning a child should never be normalized in America. 26:30 New U.S. Census Bureau data for 2025 reveals a dramatic slowdown in population growth—and the reasons why matter more than the headline. We break down how the end of mass illegal immigration and the start of deportations have exposed a deeper problem: America isn’t having enough babies to grow its population naturally. What looks like stagnation is actually a demographic warning sign. From shrinking workforces and collapsing entitlement systems to state-by-state population declines in places like California, Hawaii, and Vermont, the conversation connects the census numbers to culture, economics, and long-term national survival. Pointing to examples from Japan, Europe, and China, we make the case that children are not burdens but blessings—and warn that a nation unwilling to value life and family is choosing population decline and economic instability. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 New video evidence is raising fresh questions in the case of Alex Pretti, the man killed during an altercation with ICE officers in Minneapolis. We urge caution as more details emerge, including footage from an encounter just days before the fatal shooting that shows Pretti taunting officers, spitting on law enforcement, damaging a federal vehicle, and attempting to flee arrest. While the new video offers insight into Pretti’s recent behavior and mindset, it does not automatically justify the shooting itself. We break down what is known, what remains unclear, and why investigations—not knee-jerk conclusions—matter in emotionally charged use-of-force cases. 36:00 In a surprising Bright Spot we revisit a 2010 speech from President Barack Obama that sounds strikingly different from today’s Democratic talking points on illegal immigration. In the clip, Obama argues for border enforcement, accountability, deportations, and fairness for legal immigrants—positions that mirror long-held conservative views on immigration policy. What was considered common-sense immigration policy in 2010 is now labeled “fascism” by many on the left, despite Democrats controlling Washington at the time. Immigration enforcement didn’t change because the law changed—but because political will did, exposing a dramatic ideological flip on borders, sovereignty, and the rule of law. 39:30 For the first time in 26 years, U.S. steel production has surged past Japan—marking a major milestone for American manufacturing and national security. We break down how the United States reclaimed its spot as the world’s third-largest steel producer and why it didn’t happen by accident, but by design under President Donald Trump’s America First trade policies. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with an archaeological find that will make you say, "Whoa!"

2026 Elections and What Democracy Means This YearWhat if 2026 isn't just an election year, but the fight for representation itself? In this Season 6 premiere of Built by Us, host Kai McNeil sits down with Professor Dr. Irving Joyner from North Carolina Central University to examine the high stakes of the 2026 midterms and what democracy actually means for North Carolinians right now.Professor Joyner, who has spent decades studying civil rights and constitutional law, traces the history of voting rights expansion in North Carolina from the groundbreaking introduction of early voting in 1991 to the historic 2008 and 2012 turnout when Black voter participation outpaced white voter participation for the first time. But he also unpacks the ongoing attacks on those gains, from voter ID laws to the racial gerrymandering that has left one party controlling nearly 80% of our congressional delegation despite North Carolina being a 50-50 purple state.This episode breaks down what members of Congress, NC senators, and NC representatives actually do for everyday North Carolinians, not just the textbook definitions. From understanding provisional ballots to recognizing how gerrymandering in Congressional District 1 undermines fair representation, Professor Joyner explains why active participation matters now more than ever.As we enter a critical year with US House, US Senate, and NC General Assembly races on the ballot, this conversation is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand the power they hold and the democracy they're fighting to protect.Support Democracy NC's work at demnc.co/donate and connect with us on Bluesky, Threads, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.Support the showFollow us on all your favorite platforms!

   Air Force One experiences electrical problems after takeoff to Switzerland and turns around to Andrews Air Base.  All is well but the big plane is grounded and Trump and the press had to take two different planes to Switzerland.  That's where Trump is expected to unload on the globalists and they may have already had enough after hearing from Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick the first day.    A famous sports reporter announces she is running for US Senate, this could work.  A young, uninformed, crazy liberal on CNN step in it big time saying it's provably true that Trump was part of a sex trafficking ring.  This could be a lawsuit... soon.    Jacque Vaughn wins for KU filling in for Bill Self at CU.  It looked just like a Bill Self win... great defense late and a couple huge baskets.  We update Self's condition as his return should be soon.    KC gets very good news about which World Cup teams will be based in our area.  A Chiefs player is selling his car online because he's broke after making $2 million this past season.  There is NFL news about a new schedule.  Former Royal Carlos Beltran is the leading vote getter and makes the baseball Hall of Fame while Alex Gordon gets only one vote.    Our Final Final is an incredible collection of historical documents coming to KC for America 250.

Jamie Bryan Hall of the Ethics and Public Policy Center Democrat Witness Lies About The Abortion Pill's Dangerous Side Effects/a> Ethics and Public Policy CenterThe post A Recent US Senate Hearing on the Chemical Abortion Drugs – Jamie Bryan Hall, 1/20/26 (0202) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

The Trump Administration recently announced plans to withdraw the United States from dozens of United Nations treaties and organizations including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, a treaty that was ratified by the US Senate in 1992 and is the key international forum for addressing the climate crisis. Marianne Lavelle, the Washington Bureau Chief for Inside Climate News, speaks about what this decision could mean for global climate progress. Also, the Colorado River provides water to seven western states, and there is not enough to go around. Recently the federal government ordered the states to agree on a plan on how to share what's left amid a worsening drought. Luke Runyon co-directs The Water Desk at the University of Colorado-Boulder's Center for Environmental Journalism and he joins us to discuss the challenges of allocating water resources when demand continues to outstrip supply. And mycorrhizal fungi form intricate and vital partnerships with plants through enormous underground networks that could help ecosystems and agriculture withstand climate impacts. But these fungi are threatened by habitat loss, nitrogen pollution and more. 2025 MacArthur Fellow Toby Kiers is leading fungi research and conservation efforts; he shares the wonders of fungi and why they're worth protecting.  —---- If you're not yet signed up for the Living on Earth newsletter, the start of the new year is a great time to join!
