You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for Octobe 14, 2026.

We start with Louisiana’s Amendment 4 on the November 3rd ballot, which would permanently bar a governor from returning to office after serving eight years. We explain how the current law lets a governor sit out one term and run again, look at Louisiana’s history of returning governors from Earl Long to Edwin Edwards, and weigh the conservative case for limiting power against the freedom of voters to choose their leaders.

In the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, St. George announces plans for its own charter school by 2028 after voters statewide denied the city its own school district. Thrive Academy in Baton Rouge suspends the rest of its football season after a post-game brawl. And two more corrections officers are arrested in Evangeline Parish for allegedly bringing drugs into jail, part of a growing list across the state. A listener texts the AGR text line with a question about whether term limits should apply across all elected offices, and we talk through it.

In Digging Deep, we look at rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and his plans for Shreveport, from G-Unit Studios to a downtown entertainment district, and his recent comments that he’s in no hurry to invest further. We look at what he did and didn’t say, what KTBS reported, and the benchmarks he agreed to with the state, and we ask how much a city should give and what a developer owes in return.

Speaker Mike Johnson says not to believe the polls, and CNN’s Harry Enten reports a 38-point drop in the Democratic margin among New York’s Jewish voters since 2022. We then turn to the New York attorney general race, where Letitia James faced Republican Saritha Kometreddi in a debate that drew a lot of attention and some strong reviews. We play the exchange about the facts and the law, hear Kometreddi’s opening statement, and discuss what the race says about politics and prosecution.

Customs and Border Protection officers stop nearly $700,000 in illegal narcotics in two smuggling attempts at the same port of entry, and we discuss border security and the drop in opioid deaths. We play a game ranking the states by self-reported mental health problems, from Oregon at the top of the list to New Jersey at the bottom, and see what surprises us. Finally, we ask whether another Meet the Fockers movie can survive the politics of its stars.
