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. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
