The Democrats’ Scheme to Kill the Electoral College Is 48 Votes Away

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 9, 2026.

We open by asking whether Democratic gains in the midterms could change how we elect presidents. We look at the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which 18 states and Washington, D.C. have joined for 222 electoral votes, and how close it is to the 270 needed. We also dig into the constitutional questions it raises, what it could mean for rural voters, and why we think it may not survive the Supreme Court.

Then it’s our Top 3 Things You Need to Know. We start with a man who drove into a historical marker outside the White House and fought with Secret Service officers and National Guard members. Next is the report that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with an executive tied to a Chinese company, and what it could mean for national security. Last is a Georgia legislative race that flipped after officials found a missing memory card, giving the Republican a 261-vote win.

After the break, we get into President Trump’s 60 Minutes answer on forgiveness and what Scripture says about forgiving our enemies. Then the American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to react to Dave Chappelle’s comments about Charlie Kirk. They talk about Erica Kirk, the lies they say are told about Charlie, and their prayers for the next generation.

We also cover a Rasmussen poll finding that 43% of likely voters aged 18 to 24 view Sharia law favorably. We walk through three things we think young people should know about it: women’s rights, freedom of religion, and criminal punishment.

In Digging Deep, we look at the five Republican senators who forced a debate over party leadership instead of a quiet coronation for John Thune. We weigh the case against Thune and who else could lead Senate Republicans in the minority, including Mike Lee, John Kennedy, and Rick Scott.

We also ask what a New York City nonprofit with $44 million in government contracts is doing handing out condoms on Roosevelt Avenue, and whether that’s the best use of taxpayer money. In our Bright Spot, we react to Pete Hegseth’s response to the articles of impeachment Thomas Massie filed against him, and to the military operations in Venezuela and Iran. We then turn to Minnesota’s Amy Klobuchar and her plan to start with an assault weapons ban, and close with a Moment of Whoa about Soraya, a Doberman who may have saved a baby’s life.
