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 May 15, 2026.Election Eve in Louisiana, cell phones out of classrooms, and California giving iPads to prisoners — this episode of American Ground Radio has it all.With Louisiana's Senate primary just hours away, we break down the Bill Cassidy question one final time: Are there enough Republicans in Louisiana willing to forgive a senator who campaigned with Trump, then voted to convict him? And does Trump's endorsement of Julia Letlow still carry the force of a political category five hurricane in a deep red state? In the news: Louisiana voters head to the polls on a packed ballot featuring the Senate primary, five constitutional amendments, and local races across the state — including a congressional election calendar shakeup signed into law by Governor Jeff Landry. Plus, the town of Cullen, Louisiana makes headlines for all the wrong reasons: neither of its two police cruisers have gas in them, the city hasn't paid its credit card bills in over a year, and the mayor's response to the local press was two words — "no comment ever."Going deep on Louisiana's five constitutional amendments — we walk through each one and give their take: civil service reform, local control of education for St. George, teacher pay raises, the business inventory tax, and mandatory retirement ages for judges. Which ones deserve a yes vote and why?Plus: New York City bans cell phones in public school classrooms and teachers say the results are remarkable. California buys iPads for prisoners — and the inmates are mostly using them to watch pornography. A high school student goes toe-to-toe with Congressman Jamie Raskin on Capitol Hill over America's Christian founding and wins the argument. And President Trump closes a deal with China's Xi Jinping for 200 Boeing airliners, with the promise of 750 more.Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, visit AmericanGroundRadio.com, and join the conversation at 866-AGR-1776!
