This is the full show for February 20, 2026. 0:30 Today, we reflect on the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson — civil rights leader, founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, two-time presidential candidate, and a man who undeniably shaped America’s political and cultural conversation for decades. But the debate today isn’t about whether he mattered. It’s about whether he meets the historic threshold for one of the nation’s highest ceremonial honors: lying in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. After Mike Johnson declined a request to grant that distinction, critics cried partisanship. We slow the conversation down and ask a deeper question: What is the standard? The Rotunda is reserved for figures deemed central to the constitutional story of the United States — a rare honor previously extended to individuals such as Rosa Parks, Billy Graham, and even Pierre Charles L'Enfant. So where is the line between influence and national consensus? Between impact and constitutional significance? We discuss Jackson’s contributions, his controversies, and the broader principle at stake: preserving the Rotunda as sacred civic space — not a stage for popularity or partisanship. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US Supreme Court struck down President Trump's use of Tariffs without congressional authorization. The United States and Indonesia finalized a bilateral trade agreement today that will lower tariffs between the two countries to 19%. Jesse Jackson's body will not lie in state under the Capital Rotunda.Jackson's family had requested that his body be allowed to lie in state, but that request was denied by Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. 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 The Supreme Court of the United States handed down a 6–3 decision striking down President Donald Trump’s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The Court made clear: that particular statute can’t be used as the vehicle for those tariffs. But that didn’t end the story. Within hours, the administration pivoted — announcing a new 10% tariff under the Trade Act of 1974, a separate law that explicitly grants the president temporary tariff authority. In fact, even members of the Court noted there are other statutory paths available. So what are we witnessing — constitutional chaos or constitutional chess? 16:00 We got a question for the American Mamas: “I’m so glad I grew up in the ’80s. How can you keep up with all the trends today?” It sparks a lively (and hilarious) walk down memory lane as Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to compare the universal “just knew it” culture of the 1980s with today’s lightning-fast, social-media-driven world. From slang that changes overnight to the pressure of documenting everything online, we explore how growing up before smartphones may have been a hidden blessing. The conversation turns to modern milestones — over-the-top weddings, pricey bachelorette trips, elaborate gender reveals — and how platforms like TikTok and Twitter have transformed private celebrations into public productions. What used to be punch, mints, and a phone call has become curated content and camera-ready moments. It’s a funny, relatable look at generational shifts, cultural pressure, and why some of us are grateful our most embarrassing moments weren’t captured in 4K. Got a question for the American Mamas? Visit americangroundradio.com/mamas and click “Ask the Mamas.” 23:00 President Donald Trump has directed the Secretary of Defense and other agencies to begin identifying and releasing government files related to UFOs, unidentified aerial phenomena, and any potential information connected to extraterrestrial life. Laugh if you want — but for years, trained Navy and Air Force pilots have reported aerial objects performing maneuvers that appear to defy conventional aerodynamics. These aren’t backyard videos or internet hoaxes. They’re encounters documented by military aviators asking a serious question: what exactly are we seeing? We explore the long shadow of Area 51, Cold War-era secrecy, and how government disinformation about experimental aircraft may have fueled decades of alien speculation. We also separate fact from fiction when it comes to so-called “chemtrails” versus ordinary condensation trails — and why conspiracy theories persist. 26:00 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis traveled to Kentucky this week with a bold message: Congress won’t fix itself — and it’s time for the states to step in. Testifying before Kentucky lawmakers, DeSantis urged them to support an Article V constitutional convention aimed at passing a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. With the national debt approaching $40 trillion, he argued that without permanent structural changes, Washington’s “muscle memory” of spending and compromise will continue — no matter which party is in power. We Dig Deep into break down how an Article V convention works, why 34 states are required to trigger it, and where the effort currently stands. Twenty states have already signed on — mostly Republican-led — but even if every remaining red state joined, supporters would still need buy-in from purple or Democrat-led legislatures. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A social media post from Congressman Randy Fine has gone viral — and sparked a firestorm. Fine responded to comments tied to New York political circles suggesting restrictions on dogs in public housing, referencing concerns rooted in Islamic views that consider dogs unclean. Fine pushed back bluntly, arguing that if Americans were ever forced to choose between their pets and accommodating religious restrictions, it wouldn’t be a difficult decision. Critics immediately labeled the remarks Islamophobic. Supporters say the point wasn’t about religion — it was about culture, assimilation, and whether American traditions should bend to accommodate beliefs that conflict with everyday life in the U.S. In this segment, we unpack the controversy, the statistics behind America’s deep attachment to pets — including service and therapy dogs — and the broader debate over cultural expectations in a free society. We also discuss Fine’s proposed “Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act” and what it symbolizes in the larger conversation about immigration, religious freedom, and preserving American norms. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From cowboys and Gavin Newsom's dyslexia, to the airport being named after President Trump can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We talk about Supreme Court’s 6–3 ruling on presidential tariff authority and what it means for the balance of power in Washington. When former Vice President Mike Pence praised the decision as a win for the Constitution, was it a straightforward defense of separation of powers—or a subtle jab at Donald Trump? And we end today's show with the powerful Olympic story of Alysa Liu—an American gold medal victory with international intrigue and a reminder of the opportunities and freedoms that define the American dream.

This is the full show for February 19, 2026. 0:30 The United States Department of Justice has joined a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Unified School District over a policy that categorizes schools by race and ties funding, smaller class sizes, and enhanced programs to race. We break down what this “PHBAO” classification means, why attaching benefits based on race raises serious Equal Protection concerns, and how the 14th Amendment applies when government actors sort students by skin color. Is this equity… or is it government-sponsored discrimination under a new acronym? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Department of Transportation is ordering 550 truck driving schools across the country to close. It looks like the Chicago Bears are leaving Illinois for Indiana. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew is being investigated for suspicion of misconduct in office. 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 Representative Ilhan Omar is back in the headlines — sans apple cider viegar— but this time it’s what she said at a recent town hall that has people talking.Omar suggested Democrats don’t just want to abolish ICE — they’re prepared to dismantle the entire United States Department of Homeland Security. We unpack what that would actually mean, the political strategy behind it, and the bigger question: what does “law and order” mean in today’s America? 16:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson. If you could rub a magic lamp and get just one wish for America — what would it be? From the days of three-network news to today’s explosion of social media platforms like X, the Mamas reflect on how information — and misinformation — shapes division in our country. They talk about the pandemic years, shadow bans, competing narratives, and the challenge of figuring out what’s actually true in a world where everyone has a microphone. But the conversation goes deeper than media. It’s about friendships strained over politics, assumptions made about neighbors, and how quickly labels replace relationships. When did who you vote for become more important than who you are? And how do we get back to a place where disagreement doesn’t mean disdain? It’s an honest, heartfelt discussion about truth, unity, and loving people even when you don’t share their politics — a reminder that restoring America might start with a little more light… and a lot more grace. 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 New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani built his campaign on a simple, viral promise: only the “uber wealthy” would pay more. Not you. Not your neighbor. Just the fat cats, the yacht crowd, the so-called one percent. But now? The Mamdani is floating a nearly 10% property tax hike — and that doesn’t just land on penthouse owners. It hits homeowners, retirees on fixed incomes, small landlords, and yes, renters, because higher property taxes don’t stay put. They trickle down into higher rents and higher costs for everyone. So what happened to “only the wealthy will pay”? We dig into how big spending promises — free programs, expanded benefits, sweeping commitments — eventually collide with math. When the tax base shrinks and high earners relocate, who makes up the difference? 26:00 Colorado just lost its largest corporation. Palantir Technologies — the $300+ billion AI firm that moved from Silicon Valley to Denver in 2020 citing cultural differences with Big Tech — has now packed up again, relocating its headquarters to Miami. The move follows months of protests outside its Denver offices over its contracts with the Israeli military and federal agencies like ICE, along with growing regulatory pressure from Colorado’s new AI law. So why leave? And why Florida? We break down whether this is about taxes, regulation, activist pressure, or a broader shift as companies seek business-friendly, right-to-work states. As America’s economy evolves, Palantir’s exit raises a bigger question: which vision of governance will win the future of growth? 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A tragic shooting at a Rhode Island ice rink is raising disturbing questions. Authorities say the gunman, Robert Dorgan, allegedly targeted his ex-wife, their son, and members of her family during a high school hockey game — and that this was not random, but deliberate. Reports indicate there had been long-standing family conflict, including disputes over his transgender identity and a divorce that followed. As more details emerge, the story becomes even more heartbreaking: a fractured family, mental health concerns, and a violent act that devastated multiple lives in a single moment. We examine what’s known about the case, the role family estrangement may have played, and the broader cultural tensions surrounding gender identity, media coverage, and mental health. Most importantly, we ask the difficult question: how do we recognize warning signs and prevent tragedies like this before they happen? 35:30 Sometimes the left tries so hard to make a point… that they end up making the conservative argument for us. Case in point: columnist Jill Filipovic recently argued that if gender-affirming surgeries for minors are banned, then all cosmetic surgeries for minors — nose jobs, breast augmentations, and the like — should be banned too (with exceptions for true medical necessity). Well… yes. We unpack how that statement actually reinforces a broader concern many conservatives have been raising: maybe we shouldn’t be encouraging cosmetic alterations for children at all. Maybe we shouldn’t be over-sexualizing teenagers. Maybe we shouldn’t be permanently altering bodies that haven’t fully developed. We also look at the cultural pressure to “fix” perfectly healthy bodies — from Hollywood cautionary tales like Jennifer Grey to today’s social media-driven beauty standards — and ask whether our society is sending young people the wrong message about identity and self-worth. At the heart of it all is a bigger question: instead of telling kids there’s something wrong with their bodies, should we be teaching them they were created with purpose and value just as they are? 39:30 Kansas lawmakers have drawn a clear line. After the legislature passed a bill defining sex in state law as biological sex at birth, Democratic Governor Laura Kelly vetoed it. Lawmakers responded by overriding her veto — and now the measure is officially the law in Kansas. To wrap up today's show we unpack the political showdown, the cultural debate behind it, and the broader question of identity in today’s America. We also reflect on a simple but powerful idea echoed by voices like Sophia Loren and Oscar Wilde: real confidence comes from being comfortable in your own skin. At the end of the day, the conversation turns to purpose, design, and the belief that we are not accidents — that we are created intentionally and with value. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

This is the full show for February 18, 2026. 0:30 A headline from the Washington Times claims ICE use-of-force incidents jumped 353% after President Trump returned to office — and the media is running with it. But is this a scandal… or a statistics game? As immigration enforcement ramps up and arrests surge, we dig into what those explosive percentages really mean — and what key context is being left out. And we raise a bigger question: why aren’t we hearing as much about the spike in violent attacks against ICE officers? This segment takes on media framing, immigration enforcement, use-of-force data, and the political narrative shaping the debate — asking whether Americans are getting facts, or just headlines designed to provoke outrage. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The first Domestic Terrorism case against members of ANTIFA was quickly declared a mistrial this week. Leftist Environmental groups have filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from undoing a costly and ineffective set of policies at the EPA. Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales is being accused of having an illicit affair with a staffer who later committed suicide. 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 reporter from CBS asked Karoline Leavitt when President Trump had ever been falsely accused of racism — and the question itself left us wondering: was that supposed to be serious? We break down the exchange, the long-running “racism” narrative surrounding President Trump, and how media framing often assumes the conclusion before asking the question. From “very fine people” to “Jim Crow 2.0” claims from Chuck Schumer, we examine how accusations become headlines — and headlines become accepted truth. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson tackle a question that hits deeper than it sounds: would you rather be wealthy with no friends… or poor with true friends? We explore what really matters — money, status, and success, or loyalty, faith, and authentic relationships. From small-town perspective shifts to the pressures of elite culture, we talk about the difference between having everything… and having your people. In a world obsessed with fame, fortune, and influence, we ask what’s actually worth holding onto — and what might cost more than it’s worth. 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 The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Department of Justice executed a search warrant and seized 650 boxes of 2020 election records from Fulton County, Georgia — and now county officials are suing to get them back. We examine the legal fight over those ballots, the claims of irregularities in the 2020 election, and why local officials are challenging a federally approved search tied to a federal race. If this was the “most secure election in American history,” as we were told, why the rush to reclaim the evidence? 26:30 When Elon Musk bought Twitter — now X — many argued it was a major win for free speech. But we ask whether his AI platform, Grok, could be even more important to the future of humanity. We break down viral AI test questions that are exposing sharp ideological divides between platforms like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and Grok — and what those answers reveal about bias, free speech, and the values being programmed into artificial intelligence. If AI is shaping the next generation of information, culture, and decision-making, who controls it matters. We're tackling AI bias, “woke” algorithms, free expression, and why the battle over artificial intelligence may be the most important fight yet. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 After our discussion on AI bias, one listener offered a solution: if artificial intelligence leans left, why not push back and help correct it? We explore whether everyday users can influence platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok by calling out biased framing, adding missing context, and steering conversations toward neutral or conservative perspectives. Can users “de-woke” AI in real time — or does the real power still rest with the programmers behind the curtain? And remember, you can join the conversation by calling or texting 866-AGR-1776. The best Hotline number anywhere in the business. 35:00 Homelessness is a crisis in America’s largest cities, and leftist policies only make it worse. In New York, 19 people died last winter on the streets after Mayor Zoran Mamdani halted homeless sweeps — a decision that left vulnerable residents exposed to freezing temperatures and untreated mental illness and substance abuse. We break down the deadly consequences of those policies, why simply building more housing isn’t the solution, and why recent reversals signal a necessary, if overdue, course correction. This segment tackles homelessness, public safety, and the human cost of political ideology in left-run cities — and asks whether compassion sometimes requires tough action. 39:30 We discuss reports of a 90% chance the U.S. may take military action against Iran in the coming weeks, the buildup of fighter jets, and the serious risks involved — a sobering look at global stakes. Then we shift to a brighter note, celebrating Michael Mastrangelo, a Publix cashier whose positivity and dedication raised over $31,000 for the Special Olympics in just six days.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 17, 2026. 0:30 We dig into anti-ICE activists who’ve taken their protest tactics into America’s checkout lines. Instead of lobbying Congress, demonstrators are swarming Target stores in Minnesota and beyond—buying bags of salt only to immediately return them—in an effort to jam registers, disrupt workers, and economically punish a private business. It's performative outrage aimed at minimum-wage employees, not policy change. From immigration enforcement to law and order, corporate disruption, and the real-world consequences for local jobs, harassing cashiers won’t change federal law—or stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement from doing its job. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Capital Police arrested a man today as he was running towards the Capital Building wearing a tactical vest and gloves and carrying a shotgun. Former Democrat Presidential Candidate Jesse Jackson passed away this week at the age of 84. A man who claimed to be a woman shot and killed two people at a high school ice hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday. 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 We break down the selective reporting by The New York Times following a fatal ice hockey rink shooting in Rhode Island. The Times carefully sidestepped the suspect’s transgender identity—despite reporting a birth name change—while routinely highlighting other details, like firearms, when they fit a preferred narrative. With another recent fatal shooting involving a transgender suspect in British Columbia, we have to ask why certain facts are deemed “irrelevant” only when they’re politically inconvenient. The message is simple and sharp: report the facts, all of them, without fear or favor. 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson : Have you noticed how much stuff the Left says is "toxic" is actually just normal life? The Mamas push back on how the left labels everyday behavior as “toxic”—from toxic masculinity to churchgoing, parenting, and even harmless relationship moments. They share real-life examples of social media outrage, including a viral Ring camera clip that sparked cries of “dump him” over a roly-poly bug, and online harassment aimed at public figures connected to Cheer. The conversation turns serious as the mamas argue that anonymous online attacks, political name-calling, and cultural shaming are the real toxicity—while common sense, family values, and disagreeing respectfully are just normal life.

Rep. Randy Fine says Americans would choose their dogs over appeasing religious demands—prompting outrage and calls for his resignation. This isn’t Islamophobia but a free-speech question about criticizing religious beliefs, cultural pressure, and whether everyday Americans should ever be asked to give up “man’s best friend” to satisfy ideology. Who’s really barking up the wrong tree? 26:30 We Dig Deep into a new 2028 presidential race poll that shows just how early—and how awkward—the next election cycle already is. On the Democratic side, Kamala Harris leads the field, while Gavin Newsom trails far behind despite acting like a full-time candidate, from foreign speeches to social-media theatrics. Progressive darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez barely registers, raising questions about substance versus slogans inside the Democratic Party. On the Republican side, the poll underscores the continued dominance of MAGA politics, with J.D. Vance leading the pack and the Trump legacy still shaping the field. The contrast is stark: Democrats running on “vibes,” Republicans running on records—and the numbers show voters can tell the difference. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Why does J.D. Vance continue to resonate with so many voters? He says what a lot of Americans are already thinking. Reacting to Olympic skier Eileen Gu, who was born in the United States but chose to compete for China, Vance draws a clear but measured line between freedom of choice and patriotism. He’s not calling for punishment or government action—just honesty about who he roots for and why. We dig into national loyalty, gratitude for opportunity, and what it means to represent a country on the world stage. It’s a plainspoken, values-driven take that contrasts sharply with identity politics—and highlights why Vance may appeal to Americans who want firmness without bitterness, and patriotism without apology. 35:30 While the media fixates on ICE protests and sanctuary city politics, let's highlight a major development flying under the radar: law enforcement cooperation with immigration authorities is surging nationwide. Despite claims that Americans oppose deportations, the numbers tell a very different story. More agencies have agreed to fully cooperate with ICE. We break down why this matters: enhanced immigration enforcement, stronger law and order, safer communities, and real incentives for local departments to participate. As reported by The Daily Wire, this quiet shift may be the most significant immigration story of the year—and one that suggests the public mood is far different from the headlines. 40:30 This is what happens when leftist climate policy meets real-world conditions—comfortable ideology colliding with physics, infrastructure, and winter. In the home state of Bernie Sanders, Green Mountain Transit proudly embraced battery-powered buses during the Obama and Biden years. Then temperatures dropped. Charging systems failed below 41 degrees, heaters drained batteries by half, and a battery recall followed after buses reportedly caught fire. 41:30 And we finish off today's episode with some words of wisdom about the Lent season.

We touch on the Democrat-led government shutdown's impact on disaster relief and air travel. And we explore the President's efforts to address a massive sewage spill in Washington, D.C. and the Massachusetts State Auditor's lawsuit against the state legislature.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 13, 2026. 0:30 If you’re in ICE detention and don’t like the conditions, there’s an option millions of legal immigrants already understand: you’re free to go home. We dismantle claims that immigration detention is “cruel” or comparable to concentration camps, a comparison that is historically ignorant and morally offensive. We explain why deportation is not punishment under Supreme Court precedent, why detention is often a choice when voluntary departure is refused, and how the Department of Homeland Security is now offering illegal immigrants financial assistance and airfare to return home. From border enforcement to national sovereignty, this conversation cuts through the grievance politics to argue a simple principle: a nation without borders is not a nation—and America’s first responsibility is to its citizens. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Federal Government is shutting down again, at least partially.The Senate failed to pass the funding for the Department of Homeland Security this week after Democrats objected to continuing to fund ICE and immigration enforcement efforts.

We dig into the celebrity meltdown narrative, arguing that O’Donnell didn’t escape authoritarianism—she escaped cultural relevance. We take aim at the idea that Trump voters are something to fear, mock the performative outrage of Hollywood elites, and point out the obvious: real exiles don’t keep U.S. passports, Hollywood access, dollar-denominated wealth, and residual checks. 16:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson: What did you parents do that would get them canceled today? We dive into old-school parenting habits that once felt normal—but might trigger outrage now. From wooden spoons peeking out of purses and chain-smoking grandparents in the car, to paddling at school, drinking from the garden hose, roaming until the streetlights came on, and walking home alone with a key around your neck, the stories paint a picture of a very different America. The Mamas debate discipline, personal responsibility, and whether today’s hyper-sensitive culture has lost something important along the way. Equal parts funny and thought-provoking, this segment taps into parenting debates, generational differences, and the question many families are asking: did tough love work better than we’re willing to admit? 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 Photo ID for voting is suddenly back on the table—and this time, it might actually happen. Webreak down President Donald Trump’s threat to issue an executive order mandating voter ID in federal elections, as Congress inches closer to passing the SAVE Act. The big surprise? Senator Susan Collins is now a yes vote, signaling a major shift even in blue-state politics. We dig into why requiring state-issued photo ID to vote is being framed as “controversial,” despite IDs being required for everything from banking to voting on the U.S. Senate floor itself. And we address the claims that voter ID is racist, question lax ID policies in states like California, and argue this is only the first step toward restoring election integrity—state audits come next.With the 2026 midterms approaching, the message is clear: voter ID isn’t radical—it’s long overdue. 26:00 America’s birth-rate crisis meets peak absurdity in this jaw-dropping Valentine’s Day segment. As lawmakers and economists warn that falling population growth threatens the future of the republic, we react to a surreal new trend out of New York City: a bar hosting Valentine’s Eve “dates” for people in romantic relationships with AI-generated partners. Yes—tables for one human and one phone, courtesy of Eva AI. The conversation turns darkly comedic and brutally honest as we unpack survey data showing more than one in four adults say they’ve had a romantic relationship with artificial intelligence. This isn’t quirky tech optimism—it’s cultural rot. From porn-driven isolation to the death of courtship, the segment takes aim at a dating culture that rewards avoidance, validation, and zero personal growth. You can’t build families with a chatbot. You can’t raise future Americans with an algorithm. And you can’t save a country if men won’t shower, take a risk, and ask a real woman out. This is a blunt warning about masculinity, marriage, AI relationships, and why artificial partners are a dead end—for people and for the nation. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 After Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl spotlight, a very different side of Puerto Rican culture is making national headlines. We react to a major legal shift in Puerto Rico, where the island’s Republican governor—an ally of Donald Trump—has signed a bill amending the criminal code to recognize an unborn child at any stage of gestation as a human being under criminal law. The change reshapes how homicide is defined, allowing the killing of a fetus during a violent crime against a pregnant woman to be prosecuted as the unlawful killing of a human being. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday!

We dismantle Lemon’s claim that he was “just doing journalism,” arguing that planning, participating, and referring to activists as “we” crosses the line from reporting into outright political activism—raising serious questions about press ethics, religious freedom, and First Amendment rights during the Donald Trump era.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 12, 2026. 0:30 An AI safety researcher resigns from Anthropic, warning the world is “in peril”—but is the threat real or just more AI panic? We cut through the hype around artificial intelligence, copyright fears, job losses, and ethical alarms, questioning sloppy AI reporting that lumps Roombas, video games, and self-driving cars into the same doom narrative. From bold claims by Elon Musk to deeper questions about human dignity, accountability, and wisdom in the age of ChatGPT, this conversation asks the hard question: is AI the danger—or is it how we choose to use it? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The House voted to end President Trump's tariffs on Canada. The new Democrat governor of New Jersey is banning ICE from as much of the state as she can. The state of Florida will now require all drivers exams to be conducted in English only. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Cardi B ignites controversy after kicking off her “Little Miss Drama” tour by telling fans they should physically attack federal immigration officers if they show up — a statement that crosses the line from protest into outright incitement. We break down why Cardi B’s remarks aren’t protected speech, how celebrity shock tactics fuel “outrage economics,” and why reckless rhetoric with a megaphone can quickly turn into felony territory. 16:30 Valentine’s Day hits different when the kids are grown. The American Mamas — Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — get real about how romance, expectations, and love languages change over time. From ditching chocolates and flowers to finding joy in taken-out trash, phone-down conversations, pizza nights, and Netflix, this candid, funny conversation reframes Valentine’s Day for empty nesters. We also dive into why the holiday feels more natural for daters and kids, how modern couples plan experiences on the fly, and why love now is less about grand gestures and more about making life “move easy.” 22:00 Even if you can’t stand Donald Trump, here’s one move that hits home for everyday drivers. We break down how President Trump scrapped the Obama-era auto regulations that forced vehicles to shut off at stoplights — the hated start-stop engine feature many say damages engines and drives up car costs. The conversation takes aim at the green mandates rolled out under Barack Obama, argues they hurt American automakers, and explains why rolling them back could save drivers thousands per vehicle. Love him or hate him, this is one regulation repeal that might finally let your car idle in peace. 25:00 A deadly school shooting in British Columbia ignites a blunt, controversial conversation about media language, gender ideology, and mental health. After Canadian authorities — including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police — described the suspect based on self-identification rather than biology, we question what’s being obscured and why. We challenge claims that mass shootings are purely about guns, examine a series of recent high-profile attacks involving gender-dysphoric shooters, and argue society is misdiagnosing a mental health crisis as a political or cultural one. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 The federal government is sitting on 24 million square feet of underused office space—empty buildings that cost taxpayers billions in maintenance. We break down how bureaucratic waste keeps these properties off the market, despite proposals like Senator Joni Ernst’s new legislation to expedite sales. From peeling paint to costly mechanical systems, we discuss why letting these buildings languish is a drain on families, and why putting them back into commerce could save taxpayers billions. 35:00 We break down the EPA’s reversal of Obama-era carbon regulations— one of the most significant moves for American consumers in decades. From eliminating the hated automatic start-stop feature to rolling back greenhouse gas mandates on vehicles from 2012–2027, the change promises to save taxpayers over $1.3 trillion, restore consumer choice, and lower vehicle costs. We explore how decades of EPA overreach, fueled by the 2009 “endangerment finding,” drove up car prices, reshaped the auto industry, and sparked debates over government power versus economic freedom. 39:30 We tackle the controversy surrounding Eileen Ju, an American-born athlete who chose to compete for China in the Olympics. We question the idea of “global citizenship” in a competition that is, at its core, nation versus nation, and explore why representing another country after benefiting from the American system sparks outrage.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 11, 2026. 0:30 An unprecedented national security moment at the southern border. We break down the stunning FAA decision to shut down airspace over El Paso and parts of southern New Mexico after cartel-linked drones crossed into U.S. airspace from Mexico. Commercial flights grounded, the military quietly neutralizing the threat, and comparisons to 9/11 and historic cross-border attacks raise a chilling question: was this a probe for something much bigger? From Mexican drug cartels and drone warfare to terrorism designations and the real possibility of U.S. military action, this is not routine border chaos — it’s a warning sign of escalation that could reshape border security, U.S.–Mexico relations, and America’s response to cartel terrorism. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump has sent home National Guard troops deployed to several high crime cities across America.These include Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The FAA closed the airspace around El Paso earlier this week for an unspecified security reason. A Grand Jury has refused to indict six Democrats who made a video encouraging members of the military to refuse orders given by President Trump. 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 House Republicans pass the SAVE Act—again—mandating proof of citizenship and voter ID for federal elections, and once again it heads straight for a Senate roadblock. We take aim at Democrats’ near-unanimous opposition, the handful of states that still don’t require voter ID, and the growing frustration with Senate leadership refusing to force the issue. Is verifying voters really “voter suppression,” or just common sense election integrity? 16:00 Did you swear you’d never turn into your parents… and then realize you already have? In this American Mamas segment, Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson jump into a candid, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt conversation about parenting, boundaries, and the habits we promised ourselves we wouldn’t repeat. From “because I said so” moments and helicopter parenting to free-range childhoods, united fronts, and good cop–bad cop dynamics, the discussion hits home for moms and dads alike. It’s an honest look at generational parenting, raising kids without a blueprint, and why every parent eventually hears, “I’m never doing that with my kids”… right before they do exactly that. 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 A blunt warning from across the Atlantic—and a debate Americans shouldn’t ignore. We react to comments from British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who says the UK is being “colonized by immigrants” and warns you can’t sustain an economy with millions on government benefits and open borders. From eye-opening wealth comparisons between Britain and the U.S. to free speech crackdowns, mass immigration, and the failure of Europe’s multicultural experiment, the conversation draws sharp lines between border security, national identity, and economic survival. Is Britain saying out loud what many Western nations refuse to confront? 25:30 A deeper dive into the jobs numbers reveals a story the headlines missed. We break down the latest U.S. jobs report and why what’s inside the data matters more than the top-line figures. Private-sector job growth surged while government payrolls shrank to levels not seen since the 1960s, wages are once again rising faster than inflation, and native-born Americans are gaining jobs as foreign-born employment declines. From shrinking bureaucracy and “deep state” influence to AI’s impact on wages, tariffs, reshoring manufacturing, and real wage growth under Trump, this is a data-driven look at why the economy may be stronger—and more America First—than the media wants to admit. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Hollywood accounting meets hard reality. We pull back the curtain on Disney’s woke remake of Snow White and why the numbers tell a brutal story Hollywood doesn’t want you to see. Thanks to UK transparency rules, Forbes was able to expose an estimated $170 million loss—turning a beloved classic into a financial bloodbath. From sneaky studio bookkeeping and royalty checks no one can verify to audiences rejecting political lectures at the box office, the message is clear: go woke, go broke. Audiences are finally voting with their wallets. 35:30 A shocking civics failure inside a state legislature sparks a much bigger debate. We react to a North Carolina sheriff who couldn’t identify the basic branches of government during a legislative hearing tied to a deadly crime—and why that moment exposes a deeper problem in American leadership. The conversation turns to Congressman Wesley Hunt’s proposal to require members of Congress to pass a basic civics test, similar to the citizenship exam. From constitutional ignorance and oath-taking to accountability for elected officials, this is a blunt discussion about why you shouldn’t hold power if you don’t understand the Constitution—and why civic literacy may be the missing safeguard in American government. 39:30 A Team USA bobsled athlete and U.S. Air Force airman Jasmine Jones' pride in representing her country stands in sharp contrast to athletes who criticize America on the world stage. Her words about service, sacrifice, and honor strike a powerful chord—showing what it really means to wear “USA” across your chest. 41:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about how the country actually works.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 10, 2026. 0:30 A newly released DOJ document confirms what Trump supporters have long believed: Donald Trump acted decisively against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell long before entering politics. In 2006, Trump personally called the Palm Beach police chief to thank him for investigating Epstein, praised law enforcement for focusing on Maxwell, and removed Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. This behavior underscores a consistent pattern of law-and-order instincts, standing in stark contrast to the elites and politicians who ignored Epstein’s crimes. The revelation challenges long-held narratives and reinforces Trump’s reputation as someone who confronts wrongdoing rather than protecting predators. 10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Two men from Pennsylvania pled guilty to housing fraud in Minnesota. New York State has become the 13th state in the nation to legalize suicide. Republican Senator Susan Collins announced she is running for reelection. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Extreme cold in New York City has claimed nearly 20 lives, exposing the deadly consequences of misguided policy. Under Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration, homeless individuals were not forced indoors during record-low temperatures, leaving vulnerable people to freeze on the streets. We dig into how ideology—when detached from reality and compassion—can become a matter of life or death, and why true compassion means protecting those who cannot protect themselves. 16:00 Raising children in a culture that increasingly rejects authority is a growing challenge for parents. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson share some practical strategies for instilling respect, boundaries, and decorum from an early age. Experts stress that parents are the first and most influential authority figures—the “parent tape” that shapes a child’s behavior and values for life. From modeling respect for teachers and law enforcement to teaching kids how to express disagreement calmly, these insights show how families can equip the next generation to navigate a world that often celebrates rebellion over responsibility. 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 At the Olympics, athletes are meant to represent their country and compete at the highest level—but some are using the global stage to push political narratives. A 54-year-old American curler sparked controversy by criticizing U.S. policies in Minnesota while enjoying the freedoms and opportunities his country provides. Experts call out the entitlement mentality and warn that athletes who blur the line between sport and political activism risk undermining both their platform and the spirit of international competition. 26:00 We Dig Deep into Ronald Reagan’s farewell address. It was a call to embrace patriotism and teach future generations the value of America’s principles. Decades later, surveys reveal a stark generational and partisan decline in national pride—especially among Gen Z, millennials, and Democrats—threatening the transmission of love for liberty, individual rights, and limited government. We explore Reagan’s warning, the data showing America’s waning patriotic spirit, and why teaching children the meaning and history of the nation is more critical than ever. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Alcohol sales are slowing in the U.S., with a staggering $22 billion in unsold inventory, affecting whiskey, tequila, and rum alike. While lower prices might delight consumers, the real story could be deeper: younger generations are drinking less, possibly swapping cocktails for cannabis as legalization spreads. We break down changing consumption habits, and what this shift means for health, culture, and the future of America’s drinking trends. 35:30 New research from Tufts University shows that family dinners aren’t just a nice tradition—they’re a powerful tool for keeping kids off alcohol, vaping, and marijuana. It’s not just about eating together; it’s about the quality of conversation, connection, and attention at the table. We dig into how daily family interactions shape adolescents’ choices, strengthen bonds, and even lay the foundation for a healthier society. A simple habit like dinner could be one of the most effective ways to raise resilient, grounded kids. 39:30 At the 2026 Winter Olympics, Norwegian biathlete Sturla Lagrid shocked fans—not with his bronze medal performance, but with a tearful, on-camera confession about cheating on his girlfriend. We break down the awkward mix of Olympic glory and personal drama, wondering: are we watching a medal ceremony or a rom-com? 41:30 And we finish off with a passerby who saved a pregnant woman's life. Articles 'Fraud tourists' plead guilty in Minnesota fraud case Susan Collins confirms she’s running for 6th term in 2026 Republicans Only Americans Still ‘Extremely Proud’ To Be American Follow us: americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 9, 2026. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 9, 2026. 0:30 Chicago’s murder rate is plunging—but the political fight over why is just getting started. We break down the stunning drop in homicides and violent crime in Chicago, including a nearly 30% decline and the lowest murder total in decades. While even Mayor Brandon Johnson is forced to acknowledge the numbers, the real debate centers on what caused the turnaround: tougher enforcement, consequences for criminals, and the impact of President Trump’s National Guard deployments. From Chicago to Washington, D.C., the data is colliding head-on with the narrative, raising an uncomfortable question for Democrats—do results matter more than politics? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. A federal appeals court has backed the Trump Administration on detaining illegal immigrants without bond. A Georgia man was sentenced to three years and five months in prison for threatening to kill President Trump. Teachers in San Francisco left students stranded today as they went on strike in the middle of the school year. 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 The NFL’s Super Bowl halftime show sparked backlash after sidelining its majority English-speaking audience, despite those same fans driving ratings, advertising revenue, and the league’s bottom line. While advertisers spent millions on English-language commercials to reach the Super Bowl audience, the halftime performance was entirely in Spanish—raising questions about who the NFL is actually trying to reach. The controversy has shifted attention away from the game itself and onto concerns about brand dilution, misplaced priorities, and a league that appears more focused on symbolism than delivering the best possible football experience. 16:30 We got a question in for our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson: Why are so many young women out rioting against the police in Minnesota? We discuss the idea that women are biologically wired to nurture and protect the vulnerable—and what happens when that instinct has nowhere traditional to go. As motherhood and family life are increasingly discouraged, that protective drive is redirected toward political causes, activist movements, and protest culture. The discussion looks at how this “mama bear” instinct hasn’t disappeared, but has been repurposed, helping explain why modern progressive activism is often dominated by young women fiercely fighting for causes they believe are under threat. 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 As sports become increasingly wrapped in spectacle and political messaging, a rare voice cuts through with an old-fashioned reminder of what competition is actually for. Drawing on a message released at the opening of the Winter Olympics, the Pope emphasizes discipline, sacrifice, humility, and the lessons learned in both victory and defeat. Winning isn’t about outperforming others—it’s about the journey, the grind, and shared commitment. Losing isn’t failure, but a teacher. Against the backdrop of a Super Bowl dominated by controversy rather than the game itself, this moment highlights what sports are meant to be: a shared human endeavor that builds character, not a branding exercise or political platform. 26:30 Winning the Super Bowl in California can actually leave NFL players poorer than when they started. Because of California’s aggressive “jock tax,” players are taxed not just on their Super Bowl bonus, but on a prorated share of their entire season’s income based on the days they spent in the state. The result: some players owed California tens of thousands of dollars more than they earned from the game—even after winning it. We break down how state tax policy dramatically affects player earnings, why teams in no-income-tax states have a built-in financial advantage, and how the same tax logic is now being used to chase businesses and high-income earners who leave states like California and New York. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 The Super Bowl halftime show is under fire after translations revealed sexually explicit lyrics broadcast to a national audience—hidden behind a language most viewers don’t speak. Critics argue the content crossed the line into obscene and pornographic material, violating FCC indecency standards that apply regardless of language. A U.S. congressman is now calling for formal action against the NFL, the network, and the performer, saying content that would never be allowed in English was effectively smuggled onto broadcast television in Spanish. The controversy raises serious questions about double standards, broadcast decency laws, and whether the NFL knowingly exposed families to explicit sexual content during America’s biggest sporting event. 36:00 U.S. liquefied natural gas exports are surging to record highs, marking a major reversal from the export restrictions that held the energy sector back in recent years. With LNG shipments climbing and new global buyers emerging, American energy is once again displacing Russian gas in Europe and beyond—cutting off funding for hostile regimes while strengthening U.S. leverage on the world stage. The boom is also fueling jobs at home, from drillers and welders to shipbuilders and landowners, while delivering cleaner energy with lower emissions. Rising LNG exports aren’t just an energy story—they’re about national security, economic growth, and America reclaiming its role as a global energy powerhouse. 39:30 Weight loss and self-improvement are supposed to strengthen relationships—but new data suggests the opposite is happening for many couples. A growing number of people using GLP-1 weight-loss drugs report breakups triggered by jealousy and insecurity from their partners after major physical changes. When one person improves and the other can’t—or won’t—celebrate that success, relationships begin to crack. The discussion highlights a deeper issue about modern relationships: whether couples are truly built on mutual support, or only comfortable as long as neither person grows beyond the other. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with llamas who help police catch a criminal. Articles Appeals court affirms Trump policy of jailing immigrants without bond Georgia man accused of threatening Trump sentenced to prison Blue City’s Teachers Go AWOL, Leave Kids With Empty Schools To Demand Better Pay Super Bowl Jock Tax Calculator The Tax Advantage of Playing in the AFC South U.S. LNG exports hit new high as Turkey buys big TMZ's Halftime Show Poll Isn't Going the Way They Hoped Andrew Kovet X Post: "The All-American Halftime Show pulled in OVER 25 MILLION views" Amid rampant AI and social media, Gen Z is turning to religion | Opinion Follow us: americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 6, 2026. 0:30 We rip into the growing entitlement mindset among powerful politicians, zeroing in on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s executive order targeting ICE and comparing it to high-profile defiance from leaders like Gavin Newsom. Power corrupts, empathy erodes, and accountability disappears when elected officials start believing they deserve authority rather than serve at the will of the people. From sanctuary city policies and federal vs. local law to the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, this political theater isn’t just unconstitutional — it’s dangerous, distracting, and could cost lives. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. One of the terrorists involved in the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya was finally arrested today. Zubayr Al-Bakoush was arrested and extradited to the US, landing at Andrews Air Force base early Friday morning. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals voided a lower courts ruling that blocked President Trump's anti-DEI orders. Republican Congressman Mark Amodei announced he's retiring from Congress and won't seek another term in office. 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 We break down a Department of Justice investigation into Georgia state legislators accused of COVID unemployment fraud and the clear pattern of corruption among Democratic lawmakers. We focus on three Georgia Democrats caught stealing thousands in pandemic unemployment benefits while fully employed and earning steady incomes — money meant for families who couldn’t pay rent or buy groceries during lockdowns. This wasn’t confusion or paperwork errors, but deliberate fraud, and Georgia is just one example of a nationwide problem of political abuse of COVID relief funds. 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson if they are going to see “Melania,” the new documentary about First Lady Melania Trump. We dive into why the film — which follows the days leading up to Donald Trump’s second inauguration — has shattered box office expectations, becoming the top-grossing non-musical documentary of the past decade. From Melania’s privacy, intelligence, and fashion choices to her mystique, media treatment, and contrast with other First Ladies, the conversation explores why so many viewers are curious about the woman the press rarely portrays. 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 highlight a surprising admission from CNN data analyst Harry Enten: the MAGA movement isn’t going anywhere, even after Donald Trump leaves the White House. We break down why Make America Great Again was never just a slogan or a single candidate, but a long-building response to political elites, big government, and a ruling class disconnected from everyday Americans. Tracing a clear line from Ross Perot to the Tea Party to MAGA, this movement endures because it taps into core American values like national sovereignty, economic fairness, and representation over management. A blunt discussion on why MAGA outlives Trump — and why the American idea behind it can’t be canceled, mocked, or erased. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the media narrative surrounding Melania and why critics insist on calling a flop — despite the numbers saying the exact opposite. With over $7 million in its opening weekend, a top-three box office finish, and now surpassing $10 million in total gross, the film has become the highest-grossing documentary opening of the past decade. Compare the objective box office data with the open media hostility with headlines from major outlets that dismiss the film while ignoring the facts. We also highlight the stunning gap on Rotten Tomatoes — 8% approval from professional critics versus a 99% audience score — proof of a growing disconnect between legacy media and everyday viewers. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We react to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Queens town hall, where the congresswoman crossed a dangerous line — training activists on how to obstruct federal agents and dox law enforcement, while openly bragging about voting against funding the Department of Homeland Security. We question wheter AOC’s actions amount to encouraging illegal activity, raising serious concerns about aiding and abetting, obstruction of justice, and respect for the rule of law. But here's the core issue: you don’t get to ignore laws you don’t like, even if you’re a member of Congress. 35:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From left-wing activists setting up their own “border patrols" to ICE headlines, Olympic Committee absurdity, witchcraft at GOP meetings, voter ID chaos, and Babylon Bee satire coming true, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We take aim at Billie Eilish’s “no one is illegal on stolen land” comment, pointing out the irony after the Tongva Tribe publicly noted that her $3 million mansion sits on their ancestral land. We unpack the logical fallout of the “stolen land” argument, questioning where it ends and what it means for property rights, immigration debates, and the rule of law. 41:00 And we finish off with a record-breaking journey that will make you say, "Whoa!

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 5, 2026. 0:30 We dig into Trump’s underappreciated strategy of political misdirection, starting with the infamous Greenland proposal and pivoting to a far more serious — and far less mocked — possibility: Alberta. As media elites rolled their eyes, were quiet conversations happening behind the scenes with Canadian separatists from the energy-rich province of Alberta? With U.S.–Canada relations already strained by tariffs, trade wars, and Trump’s “51st state” trolling, the discussion explores Alberta’s growing independence movement, its economic dominance within Canada, and whether sovereignty — or even alignment with the United States — is legally and politically plausible. Is this about energy, geography, national defense, or leverage on the global stage? And was Greenland ever the real story at all? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump is announcing the launch of a new website tonight designed to help people get prescription drugs at a lower cost. A self described ANTIFA leader was arrested this week for threatening to kill ICE Agents. The State of Missouri is suing the Federal Government over how it counts people in the Census. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 An anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis crossed a dangerous line, and now there are serious consequences. We break down the arrest of Elizabeth Rose, a 42-year-old activist charged with assaulting federal agents after allegedly ramming an ICE vehicle. As vehicle attacks against ICE officers surge nationwide — with DHS data showing hundreds of incidents across the country — the conversation shifts from protest and free speech to violence, enforcement, and the rule of law. When does activism stop being protected speech and become a felony? Using a car as a weapon against federal law enforcement isn’t civil disobedience — it’s assault, and it can be deadly. 16:00 Is it sexist to think of Michelle Obama as Barack Obama’s wife — or is that just reality?American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on Michelle Obama’s recent comments claiming she was reduced to “just the president’s wife,” despite her elite education and career. Drawing on their own experiences being proudly known by family ties, the conversation challenges the modern idea that being identified through a spouse is somehow degrading. From Harvard Law and bestseller book deals to White House privilege, therapy disclosures, and public criticism of Barack Obama, we contrast Michelle Obama with past First Ladies like Nancy Reagan and asks a blunt question: when does empowerment turn into entitlement? 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 A devastating crash in Indiana reignites a furious national debate over illegal immigration, public safety, and who is being put at risk on America’s highways. We react to reports that an illegal over-the-road truck driver was involved in a crash that killed a father and his three sons — yet another tragedy that could have been prevented. The discussion zeroes in on states accused of looking the other way by issuing commercial licenses to illegal immigrants, the role of lax enforcement and open-border policies, and why 40-ton 18-wheelers become deadly weapons in the wrong hands. With pointed criticism of the Biden administration and state leaders, we ask a blunt question: if someone isn’t legally allowed to be in the country, why are they allowed to drive across it? 25:30 America’s biggest cities are sitting on a financial time bomb, and the numbers are staggering. We Dig Deep into a new Truth in Accounting report that examines the true fiscal health of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Philadelphia — factoring in debts, assets, and massive unfunded pension liabilities. The result: every one of these Democrat-run cities carries a crushing taxpayer burden, with residents on the hook for anywhere from $1,300 in Los Angeles to a jaw-dropping $61,700 per person in New York City. The conversation zeroes in on runaway spending, backroom union deals, unfunded pensions, and the assumption that federal bailouts will always save the day. With strong-mayor systems, one-party rule, and governing by ideology instead of math, fiscal reality always wins. From Chicago’s $42,600 per-person debt to warnings that New Orleans may be next, how long can America’s largest cities ignore the numbers before bankruptcy becomes unavoidable? 32:30 As the search continues for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, new and troubling details emerge. We discuss reports that law enforcement has arrested an individual for allegedly creating a fake ransom notice, even as authorities say they still have no identified suspect in the disappearance of the 84-year-old woman. The conversation turns to an unexpected development: President Donald Trump directing federal law enforcement to assist Guthrie’s family, setting politics aside during a deeply human crisis. Despite years of tension between Trump and NBC News, this moment complicates the media’s usual narrative — and underscores the seriousness with which the federal government is treating the case. 35:30 President Donald Trump used the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. to deliver a message rarely heard from modern presidents — and to announce a major faith-centered event on the National Mall this May. We highlight Trump’s call to rededicate America as “one nation under God." Drawing from the Declaration of Independence, George Washington’s warnings, and the idea that rights come from God — not government — the discussion explores faith, gratitude, and moral accountability in leadership. While Trump veered off script to criticize Democrats, the bigger story is a president openly invoking God, religion, and America’s founding principles in the public square. 39:30 New York City’s new mayor is already under fire — and now Washington is stepping in. We break down how Mayor Zohran Mamdani moved quickly after taking office to nullify multiple pro-Israel executive orders signed by former Mayor Eric Adams, quietly reshaping how the city defines antisemitism and positions itself toward Israel. That decision has triggered a U.S. Senate committee investigation, led in part by Senator Bill Cassidy, who warns that antisemitism in New York is not theoretical but a daily reality for millions of Jewish residents. With billions in federal funding potentially on the line, the discussion zeroes in on whether New York City will tolerate antisemitism — and what it means for the city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 4, 2026. 0:30 We break down a deeply troubling decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to let California’s new congressional map move forward for the 2026 midterms without so much as a single dissent. We walk through why the Court is signaling that political gerrymandering is fair game as long as it isn’t explicitly racial, and how Democrats in California used Proposition 50 to wipe out the last illusion of independent redistricting. How do you guarantee a republican form of government when one party can rewrite the map mid-decade to lock in power? We compare California to Texas, revisit past Supreme Court signals, and confront the reality that this may be the rules of the game—even if those rules are poisoning public trust in our elections. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Supreme Court ruled today that the state of California can use its new congressional maps in this year's upcoming elections.That could allow Democrats to pick up 5 extra seats in the house due to massive gerrymandering in the redrawn boundaries. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons is recommending postponing any gender related surgeries until after patients reach the age of 19. The Man who tried to kill President Trump at his golf course in Florida has been sentenced to life in Prison. 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 We break down Massachusetts’ so-called “Freedom to Move Act” and why, despite the branding, it’s really about reducing how much you’re allowed to drive and quietly limiting freedom of movement. Setting targets for vehicle miles traveled opens the door to fewer roads, less parking, slower speeds, and a growing push to force people onto public transportation whether it works for their lives or not. This isn’t about environmental policy—it’s about government deciding where and how you’re allowed to go. Real freedom doesn’t come from the state managing your movement; it comes from the government protecting your right to move without interference. 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson how they survived the historic ice storm that shut down much of the South, and what they saw when things got hard. From families stranded for hours on icy interstates, communities without power for days, and everyday people stepping up long before government help arrived. We talk about neighbors using ATVs to deliver food, water, diapers, and gas, strangers helping strangers, and why disasters have a way of revealing both resilience and character. When systems fail and the weather turns brutal, real strength still comes from faith, family, and community—and that given the chance, Americans will show up for one another. 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 talk about the post-Dobbs reality, where abortion rates are actually rising in blue states, and why claiming “victory” is either naïve or dishonest. We walk through why leaders like Pope Leo and Mother Teresa were right to call abortion the greatest threat to peace, and why a society that treats unborn life as disposable can never truly be just or peaceful. We also connect the dots between abortion, euthanasia, and assisted suicide, including chilling policies in places like Canada and parts of the U.S. The message is simple and uncomfortable: when a culture abandons the value of innocent human life, everything else begins to unravel. 26:00 We Dig Deep into why the SAVE Act — the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act — should be a no-brainer for anyone who actually cares about election integrity. We walk through what the bill really does: requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and ending online voter registration that’s ripe for fraud in an age of bots and AI. We look at the polling that demolishes the left’s favorite talking point, showing overwhelming support for voter ID across party lines and across racial groups. And we ask the uncomfortable but obvious question: if Democrats insist our elections are secure and only citizens are voting, why are they so desperate to kill the SAVE Act? The answer, frankly, doesn’t reflect well on them — and it raises serious red flags about who they want voting and why. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We take on the NFL’s bizarre announcement that ICE will not operate in or around the Super Bowl and ask the obvious question: since when does the NFL get to tell federal law enforcement where it’s allowed to do its job? We cut through the celebrity optics, activist pressure, and performative virtue signaling to talk about who actually attends the most expensive sporting event on the planet and whether the Super Bowl even makes sense as an immigration enforcement target. The conversation exposes the absurdity of carving out de facto “immigration-free zones” for optics while pretending it’s about safety or compassion. At the end of the day, this isn’t about football — it’s about who really runs the country and whether federal law still applies when celebrities, corporations, and political narratives get uncomfortable. 35:30 We talk about a real bright spot coming out of Republican-led states: serious efforts to cut — and in some cases eliminate — property taxes on homeowners. We break down why no American should ever risk losing their home simply because they can’t keep paying rent to the government, especially after they’ve already bought and paid for it. We connect the dots between rising property taxes, declining homeownership, and the destruction of generational wealth, particularly for young families and seniors on fixed incomes. We contrast red states looking for ways to lower the tax burden with blue states doubling down on higher taxes, and explain why targeted reforms — protecting primary residences while still taxing second homes, luxury properties, and corporations — are about economic freedom, not government handouts. 39:30 We react to the horrifying report that Savannah Guthrie’s elderly mother may have been abducted from her home, with blood found on the porch and her purse, phone, and life-sustaining medications left behind. We talk through the disturbing details, the possibility of a ransom demand involving Bitcoin, and the very real concern for her health and safety. We also reflect on President Trump’s response after being asked about the case — setting politics aside and calling it “absolutely horrifying,” while offering to personally reach out and help. This is one of those moments that cuts past media narratives and partisan lines, reminding us just how fragile life is and why this story stops you cold. 41:00 And finish off with an unbelievable and deeply moving story of survival when a family kayaking trip turned into a life-or-death fight against the ocean. Articles Supreme Court allows California to use congressional map benefitting Democrats Plastic surgeons recommend delaying gender surgery until 19 Man who tried to assassinate Trump at his Florida golf course is sentenced to life in federal prison States Weigh Ending Property Taxes for Homeowners Washington State Dems Introduce Millionaire's Tax, GOP Warns of Risks New Poll Crushes Dem, Media Narrative: Americans Demand Mass Deportations, Back ICE Overwhelmingly The SAVE Act Is Popular, and Democrats Are Terrified of It Trump: "Who Would Not Want Voter ID?

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 3, 2026. 0:30 Federal Judge Anne Rice blocks deportations—and now her political donations are raising serious questions. We into the growing backlash after it was revealed that a Biden-appointed judge who halted the Trump administration’s effort to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian immigrants donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates and causes before taking the bench. The hosts argue this isn’t just about immigration policy, but about judicial activism, nationwide injunctions, and courts stepping far beyond their constitutional role. Is allowing a temporary program to expire really “racist,” or is this another example of lawfare undermining the separation of powers? From conflicts of interest to a brewing constitutional crisis, this conversation pulls no punches on activist judges, immigration enforcement, and the rule of law. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The House of Representatives passed a funding bill designed to end the current partial government shutdown.Democrats in the Senate had refused to pass the standard funding bills that passed the House last month, and are instead demanding Republicans pull funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Former President Bill Clinton and former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton have both finally agreed to testify before Congress.A committee is investigating the Jeffry Epstein files, and both Mr. and Mrs. Clinton have shown up in the records. Former First Lady Jill Biden's ex husband has been charged with the murder of his wife.William Stevenson and Jill Biden were married from 1970 until 1975, when she met Joe Biden and they began dating. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 The Department of Justice is closing in on corruption in Georgia—and the pattern is hard to ignore. We break down multiple federal investigations into Democratic state lawmakers accused of stealing COVID unemployment benefits while they were fully employed and collecting taxpayer-funded salaries. According to prosecutors, three Georgia Democrat legislators allegedly pocketed tens of thousands of dollars meant for families who were truly out of work during pandemic lockdowns. This wasn’t a paperwork mistake but a clear abuse of emergency relief funds, exposing a broader, nationwide problem of Democrat-led fraud during COVID. From hypocrisy over lockdown policies to the DOJ finally stepping in, this conversation takes a hard look at accountability, government corruption, and who really benefited from pandemic relief programs. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on one of the most talked-about political documentaries of the year: Melania. They react to the surprise box office success of the film, which follows the 20 days leading up to Donald Trump’s second inauguration and Melania Trump’s return as First Lady. With more than $7 million in ticket sales, the documentary shattered expectations—and sparked curiosity. From Melania’s privacy, intelligence, and faith to her fashion choices and life behind the scenes, the conversation explores why she remains one of the most mysterious and misunderstood First Ladies in modern history. The Mamas compare her to past First Ladies, push back on media narratives, and explain why this film feels like a moment of redemption after years of controversy. Love her or hate her, this is a cultural moment—and a documentary—that has people talking. 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 A shocking line is crossed when a sitting member of Congress suggests Americans could be “justified” in shooting masked federal agents—and the fallout sparks a much deeper conversation. We react to explosive comments from Rep. Jerry Nadler targeting ICE agents, accusing them of “fascism” and igniting concerns about political rhetoric, law enforcement safety, and the rule of law. But the discussion doesn’t stop there. The controversy opens the door to a fascinating interview with author Jack Bialik, whose book Lost in Time explores how entire civilizations have lost—and later rediscovered—critical knowledge. From ancient cataract surgery to forgotten technologies and the fragility of digital data, the conversation connects today’s political chaos to a broader warning: when societies lose institutional memory, they lose stability. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down President Trump’s latest move on Small Business Administration loans. After fraud scandals involving foreign nationals, the Trump administration now requires SBA loans to go only to businesses that are 100% owned by U.S. citizens or nationals. The logic is simple: taxpayers shouldn’t bankroll people who haven’t sworn allegiance to the country. Government-backed loans without accountability corrupt the system and punish honest entrepreneurs. 36:00 Apartment rents are quietly falling—and that’s no accident. We break down new CNBC data showing national median rents dropping to their lowest level in four years, a rare bright spot amid the affordability crisis. We dive into why rents are falling now, from increased housing supply and lighter regulation in red states to market forces finally speaking louder than politics. Also, thanks President Trump’s immigration enforcement, higher vacancy rates in states like Florida and Texas are forcing landlords to lower prices. With construction booming in Republican-led states and confidence returning to the economy, this is a case study in how border enforcement, deregulation, and market-driven housing policy can put downward pressure on rent—and put American renters first. 39:30 Pop star Billie Eilish’s “no one is illegal on stolen land” comment sparks instant backlash—and major irony. We break down how the Tongva tribe publicly responded by pointing out that Eilish’s $3 million mansion sits on their ancestral land. What starts as a celebrity soundbite quickly turns into a deeper debate over “stolen land,” property rights, and the logical contradictions behind activist talking points. 41:30 And we wrap up today's show with an incredible voyage that will make you say, "Whoa!" In an inspiring reminder of grit and personal growth, we spotlight Taryn Smith, who set out to row across the Atlantic Ocean—despite never having been in a rowboat before making the decision. Just 46 days after leaving the coast of Africa, Smith arrived in Antigua, becoming the first American woman to row solo across the Atlantic. Articles House passes funding package to end partial government shutdown Police Tear Down Anti-ICE Road Blockade After Masked Men Assault Reporter Jill Biden’s Ex-Husband Charged With Murdering Wife Apartment rents just dropped to the lowest level in 4 years Experts: Nationwide Rent Declines as Border Enforcement Reduces Migration Immigration Enforcement Makes America More Affordable Follow us: americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 30, 2026. 0:30 For decades, Chick-fil-A wasn’t just fast food — it was a cultural symbol, known for Christian values, closed Sundays, and a service-first mindset that set it apart from every other national brand. But a new article is raising questions about whether that identity has quietly changed. From shifts in charitable giving and accusations of abandoning Christian organizations, to debates over social media messaging, corporate neutrality, and ideological boycotts, we dig into what’s real, what’s rumor, and what actually matters to everyday customers. Is Chick-fil-A still the same company millions trusted — or is this another example of politics creeping into business? And more importantly, should consumers care as long as the chicken is good and the business isn’t hostile to their values? This conversation tackles faith, free markets, merit, cancel culture, and the growing pressure on companies to pick a side. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Reporter and former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested by federal authorities.He was part of a group of people who invaded a Christian Church service two weekends ago as part of the anti-ICE demonstrations in Minneapolis, Minnesota. President Trump has announced who he plans on naming as the next head of the Federal Reserve.Trump named Kevin Warsh to be the next Fed Chair. A federal Judge has dismissed murder charges against Luigi Mangione.Mangione is accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, shooting him from behind on the sidewalk just outside a hotel in Manhattan. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We react to an unconscionable move by Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, who has reportedly sent her top diplomat to the highest levels of the U.S. government — not to offer cooperation, but to demand that the United States stop targeting Mexican drug cartels. Instead of proposing joint operations to crush fentanyl trafficking or dismantle criminal empires, Sheinbaum’s priority appears to be protecting cartels from U.S. action. We dive into cartel violence, corruption, and control over entire regions of Mexico, while questioning whether the Mexican government is unwilling or simply unable to confront them. 16:00 Is Ashley Tisdale a victim of a toxic Hollywood mom clique — or is this just mean-girl drama with a grown-up twist? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on the actress’s viral op-ed claiming she was iced out by a celebrity mom group in California. From social media oversharing and jealousy to the dangers of calling out friend groups publicly, the conversation explores whether speaking out actually reveals more about the accuser than the accused. With stories every mom can relate to, we break down mom group dynamics, celebrity cliques, and why “bowing out gracefully” may be the wisest move — especially when kids, schools, and long-term relationships are involved. This candid discussion tackles toxic mom culture, Hollywood parenting drama, and the real-world consequences of airing friendship grievances online. 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 break down a dramatic escalation in U.S. foreign policy as the Trump administration moves to effectively cut off oil money flowing from Venezuela and Mexico to communist Cuba. With sanctions finally being enforced, “ghost ships” carrying illegal Venezuelan oil are being seized, oil deliveries are drying up, and Cuba’s energy lifeline is collapsing. We connect the dots between Nicolás Maduro, the Cuban regime, and broader threats to U.S. national security, including terrorism and regional instability. Halted shipments from Mexico under U.S. pressure and energy companies pulling out of Cuba are part of a much larger strategy to dismantle hostile regimes in Venezuela, Cuba, and even Iran — and signals that America is no longer looking the other way. 25:30 A longtime Democrat strategist is now delivering a warning that has the Left fuming — and we can’t help but laugh. Rui Teixeira, author of Demographics Is Destiny, says the permanent Democrat majority he once predicted is collapsing, and unless Democrats radically change course, they’re headed for permanent minority status. His solution? Seven “realism” principles that sound a whole lot like Republican policy positions. From energy and economic growth to border security, merit over DEI, biological reality, and even patriotism, we down why Teixeira’s prescriptions are completely incompatible with today’s Democrat Party. And we ask the obvious question: if winning requires Democrats to believe everything Republicans already do, why have a Democrat Party at all? 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 The Democratic Party should take a page straight out of Seinfeld. Using George Costanza’s famous “do the opposite” philosophy, we make the case that every major Democrat instinct — on crime, border security, energy policy, culture, and government spending — has produced the exact opposite of what was promised. Compassion becomes chaos, equity breeds resentment, and progress leads to decline. Tying the analogy to recent warnings from Democrat strategist Rui Teixeira, the we explore whether Democrats could actually win again by abandoning their failed instincts and embracing the opposite approach. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From ICE chaos and AI images in Senate, to truly ridiculous stories involving Bruce Springsteen, kangaroos, and a “doomsday clock set to infinity," can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We reflect on the life and legacy of legendary Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz, following news that he has entered hospice care. More than a Hall of Fame football coach, Holtz was a mentor, a man of faith, and a relentless advocate for discipline, accountability, and personal responsibility. Drawing from personal encounters with him, the conversation highlights how Holtz focused on building men of character first — believing that winning followed naturally. It’s a heartfelt tribute to a leader who shaped generations far beyond the football field and a reminder of how rare and necessary moral clarity and unapologetic leadership are in today’s culture. 41:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about long life that will make you say, "Whoa!"

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.

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!"

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 28, 2026. 0:30 A bizarre confrontation at Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Minnesota town hall is raising more questions than answers. After a man allegedly sprayed her with what authorities later suggested may have been apple cider vinegar, we dig into why the incident doesn’t pass the smell test. Why wasn’t the room cleared? Why wasn’t medical attention sought immediately? And why would someone risk federal prison over vinegar in the first place? We explore security protocols for members of Congress, the reality of chemical threats, and whether this episode reflects a broader pattern of manufactured victimhood in progressive politics. Comparing the moment to past political hoaxes, we ask the uncomfortable question: was this a genuine attack—or something staged for grievance politics and media headlines? 9:30 Plus we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Federal Reserve Kept Interest rates steady this week.This follows three consecutive cuts made by the Fed since September.The interest rate remains between 3.5 an 3.75%. The State of Virginia's redistricting effort has been blocked. The Department of Education says both California and Minnesota have violated Title IX of the Civil Rights Act by insisting that boys and men are allowed to play sports on girls and women's teams. 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 California’s rebuilding failure after the Los Angeles wildfires is taking center stage as a stunning display of government incompetence. With only about 20 homes rebuilt out of thousands destroyed, we just have to ask: what is California doing? Layers of state, county, and city regulations have turned recovery into a bureaucratic nightmare—and President Trump stepped in with an executive order to fast-track rebuilding in Pacific Palisades and Eaton Canyon. It just goes to show the contrast between a once-functional, get-things-done America and today’s regulatory gridlock. 16:00 Are charismatic parents a hidden superpower? American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a viral idea comparing social confidence to growing up bilingual—something you absorb naturally when it’s modeled every day at home. From outgoing moms and thoughtful, confident dads to shy kids learning the ropes at birthday parties and family gatherings, the conversation explores how social skills are taught, corrected, and reinforced over time. The Mamas share real-life parenting stories and discuss the balance between confidence and introversion. It’s a warm, honest discussion about raising socially capable kids in a world where confidence isn’t taught in a classroom—but learned at home. 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 Jeff Bezos didn’t buy The Washington Post as a passion project—and we break down why the free market is now forcing a reckoning. As the paper sheds hundreds of jobs amid ongoing financial losses, the real problem isn’t politics, it’s trust. From Russiagate headlines that never panned out to COVID-era reporting that proved wrong, Americans stopped subscribing when legacy media stopped telling the truth and started talking down to their audience. We take a look at media credibility, collapsing subscriptions, advertiser flight, and why the Washington Post—and mainstream media as a whole—must adapt or disappear if it wants to survive in today’s news economy. 26:00 Where you get your news may matter more than what you think. We break down new polling on President Trump’s immigration and deportation policies—and the results reveal a nation split almost perfectly down the middle. But the real story isn’t just the numbers, it’s how media consumption shapes belief. Voters who think deportations have gone “too far” overwhelmingly rely on legacy broadcast networks, while those who want stronger enforcement are turning to cable news, X (formerly Twitter), talk radio, and alternative media. We dive into media trust, information bubbles, news sampling versus deep analysis, and whether everyday Americans even have the time to stay informed. It’s a sharp look at how media choice, modern attention spans, and economic reality are redefining how Americans understand politics and vote. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 President Trump is drawing a hard red line with Iran—and it’s not bluster, it’s peace through strength in action. As Trump warns Tehran that time is running out to strike a nuclear deal or face consequences far worse than last year’s strike, we explain why Iran doesn’t fear UN resolutions or European statements—but does fear American military power. From carrier strike groups in motion to the lasting impact of taking out Qasem Soleimani, the discussion breaks down why deterrence works, why Iran’s regime is more fragile than it appears, and why past predictions of “World War III” fell flat. It’s a clear-eyed look at U.S. foreign policy, Iran nuclear negotiations, and why strength—not rhetoric—may be the key to avoiding war. 35:30 As An Inconvenient Truth turns 20, we take a hard look back at Al Gore’s most famous climate change predictions—and ask a blunt question: what actually came true? From melting glaciers and disappearing snowcaps to catastrophic hurricane forecasts, we walk through claim after claim that never materialized. The real “inconvenient truth” isn’t environmental collapse, but a pattern of missed deadlines, moving goalposts, and policies that demand more government power today for crises that never arrive. It’s a sharp reassessment of climate alarmism, media influence, and why two decades of failed predictions are reshaping public skepticism about climate change narratives. 39:30 A major Supreme Court case has gun control activists on edge. During oral arguments in Wohlford v. Lopez, several justices signaled serious skepticism of Hawaii’s private property carry ban, a law that effectively turns the Second Amendment into a privilege instead of a right. We break down how Hawaii’s policy flips constitutional carry on its head, why Chief Justice John Roberts compared it to free speech under the First Amendment, and what this moment could mean for the future of gun rights nationwide. If the Court is done treating the Second Amendment like an afterthought, this case could be a game changer.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 27, 2026. 0:30 CNN reports new details in the fatal ICE shooting of Alex Pretti in Minnesota — but the real story may be what didn’t happen before his death. We break down how Pretti had already interfered with a federal ICE operation, suffered a broken rib during a prior confrontation, and was treated and released without apparent prosecution. We question why federal law enforcement didn’t arrest or detain him for obstructing officers. The lack of consequences emboldened him to return — this time armed. The discussion connects political rhetoric, anti-ICE messaging from elected officials, and the refusal to fully enforce the rule of law, warning that labeling federal agents as “fascists” or an “occupying force” doesn’t just inflame tensions — it authorizes defiance. A tragic death but not an unforeseeable one — and a stark example of how unchecked interference with law enforcement can turn deadly. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a lower court ruling that attempted to stop ICE from being able to operate when facing violent political opposition. President Trump has issued a new executive order designed to speed up the rebuilding process in California. A Texas woman has been arrested and charged with attempting to burn down a Republican Party Headquarters. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Trump’s proposed Board of Peace is sending shockwaves through the global diplomatic class — and that may be the point. We break down reports that dozens of countries are being asked to commit $1 billion each to join a Trump-led international coalition, bypassing the United Nations and traditional diplomatic institutions altogether. We explore what the money could fund, why many participating nations are Middle Eastern and Muslim countries with a direct stake in post-Hamas Gaza governance, and how the plan intersects with NATO, U.S. leverage, and even Trump’s surprising Greenland framework. The Board of Peace is a direct challenge to entrenched global bureaucracy — no UN committees, no lifetime ambassadors, no blank checks. Is Trump effectively dismantling the UN Security Council and replacing it with a results-driven alternative? 16:00 Should Don Lemon be in jail? The American Mamas don’t mince words. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson react to video showing Don Lemon embedded with Black Lives Matter and anti-ICE activists as they disrupted a Christian church service in Minnesota. The discussion lays out why critics say Lemon wasn’t just “reporting,” but actively participating — from offering coffee and donuts beforehand to openly coordinating with BLM activist Nkeema Armstrong. As indictments are announced for protest ringleaders, we argue that interrupting a worship service violates the First Amendment, crosses into criminal obstruction, and terrorized families already on edge after recent church violence. We also question why conservative churches are targeted while mosques, synagogues, and black churches are left alone — and whether Lemon’s attempt to walk it back as journalism will hold up under the law. 23:00 A viral video featuring a registered nurse has ignited outrage and raised serious ethical questions about the medical profession. We react to a nurse who publicly wished medical harm on pregnant White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, invoking graphic childbirth trauma while claiming professional credibility. The discussion centers on the Nightingale Pledge, nursing ethics, and the duty of care that demands compassion over politics. This moment exposes how political rhetoric on the left has crossed from disagreement into dehumanization—where conservatives are no longer debated, but despised. As faith, morality, and professional standards collide, we warn this is not progress, but a dangerous moral regression with real-world consequences. 25:30 New 2025 crime data is turning the narrative on its head. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, violent crime is down across the board—with homicides dropping a stunning 21 percent nationwide, potentially marking the lowest murder rate in U.S. history. Gun assaults, robberies, and carjackings have all fallen by double digits, reversing the post-COVID crime surge and bringing rates back below 2019 levels. We Dig Deep into why crime is falling, rejecting claims that poverty drives violence and arguing instead that enforcement, certainty of punishment, tougher policing, National Guard deployments, and the deportation of violent gang members are making the difference. We give credit to a renewed focus on law and order under President Trump and warn the progress will only last if leaders continue to back police, prosecutors, and the rule of law. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A special guest joins us today, actor and faith advocate Kevin Sorbo, who’s launching a “Footsteps of Paul” Bible cruise through Greece and the Middle East. Sorbo explains how actually visiting places like Athens, Ephesus, Crete, and Mykonos brings the New Testament to life in a way no book or movie ever could. Reading Scripture in the very locations where the Apostle Paul preached, he says, changes everything. The discussion also gets real about modern culture: would Paul be celebrated today — or canceled? Sorbo doesn’t hesitate, arguing that faith, free speech, and basic morality are under attack, pointing to church disruptions, political extremism, and growing public apathy. It’s part travel, part Bible study, and part cultural wake-up call — a conversation that blends Christian faith, Western values, cancel culture, and spiritual revival. 9:30 Republicans just blocked a last-minute Democratic push to limit Donald Trump’s military authority in Venezuela, and the vote couldn’t have been closer. With a 215–215 tie in the House and a tie-breaking vote from J.D. Vance in the Senate, Trump’s ability to act without new congressional approval remains intact. It wasn’t really about constitutional checks and balances, but about Democrats trying to weaken Trump politically — even after what they call a successful operation against Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro with zero U.S. casualties. And we finish off with a story about how Barron Trump likely saved a friend's life.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 26, 2026. 0:30 Why is Minneapolis ground zero for violent ICE protests—and who’s really behind the chaos? We dig into the disturbing pattern surrounding immigration enforcement in Minnesota, questioning why ICE operations there are met with coordinated resistance, political cover, and organized activism. From elected officials aiding protesters, to claims of Signal chats, doxxing of ICE agents, and staged protest infrastructure, we explore whether this is spontaneous outrage or something far more deliberate. We also examine the tragic death of an ICU nurse, the role of misinformation, and the dangerous line between lawful protest and outright anarchy—raising serious questions about accountability, the rule of law, and whether the Department of Justice is failing to act as chaos escalates. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Over the weekend, a protestor in Minnesota was shot and killed while struggling with ICE officers. Democrats are threatening another government shutdown this week. Long time Democrat Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton has decided to not run for reelection to Congress. 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 We unpack the latest example of our “outrage culture” as Apple CEO Tim Cook faces backlash for attending a private White House screening of a Melania Trump documentary. We explore why a simple appearance at a first lady’s event has sparked controversy, questioning whether the public is punishing respect for the office itself rather than political affiliation. From comparisons to similar events with Jill Biden and Michelle Obama, to the dangers of social media mobs dictating every decision by powerful figures, the conversation delves into how this culture of coercion threatens leadership, freedom of association, and the ability to navigate public life without fear of constant vilification. 16:00 What do you do when your liberal friends start posting things online that just aren’t true? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the growing frustration many conservatives feel watching social media melt down over politics, protests, and ICE enforcement. From viral misinformation and “MAGA silence” bait posts to claims of engineered chaos in Minneapolis, the conversation dives into how outrage culture, mainstream media narratives, and online activism are fueling division. The American Mamas share why they often choose to scroll instead of engage, how disinformation spreads through friend groups, and why social media has become less about truth and more about manufacturing conflict. 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 react to a Florida anesthesiologist who publicly declared he would refuse to treat Trump supporters, sparking outrage over ethics, morality, and the Hippocratic oath. We break down why targeting patients based on politics is not only cruel but morally depraved, and why the trust society places in doctors makes this behavior especially dangerous. From the obligation to treat all patients, even violent offenders, to historical examples of professionalism in medicine, we explore the chilling consequences when political bias overrides care—and why the Florida Attorney General is now stepping in. 26:00 We respond to a listener email claiming ICE is “hunting” hardworking immigrants, sparking a deep dive into immigration, the rule of law, and the American Dream. We break down why enforcing immigration laws is about protecting trust and fairness, not targeting hardworking people, and why legal compliance matters from the first step onward. The conversation also challenges common claims about white privilege, explores the history of immigrant contributions, and emphasizes the importance of due process, responsibility, and respecting the laws that make America prosperous. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dive into a landmark legal battle in California, where a 19-year-old claims platforms like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube fueled a youth mental health crisis through addictive design features. We question whether social media companies should be held responsible for users’ depression or suicidal thoughts—or if personal responsibility still matters in a free society. Using humorous comparisons to chocolate, alcohol, and TV, the conversation explores the fine line between business design, human choice, and accountability in the age of endless scrolling. 36:00 A new poll reveals a surprising bipartisan consensus: Americans overwhelmingly believe securing access to foreign oil and energy is crucial for the U.S. economy. We break down the numbers—69% of Americans across party lines agree on the importance of energy security—and explore why energy independence is synonymous with economic independence. From protecting jobs to reducing reliance on foreign powers, the conversation highlights how access to reliable oil isn’t just about fuel—it’s about controlling America’s future. 39:30 We take on the heated debate over Second Amendment rights and federal law enforcement after the fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. We examine how Democrats are using language to argue that the Second Amendment doesn’t protect firearm carry at protests, even as official narratives clash with video evidence and eyewitness accounts about what really happened that day. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with not one but two love stories that unfolded on the set of Stranger Things.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 22,2026. 0:30 Tens of thousands of pro-life Americans packed the National Mall for the 53rd annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., standing in the cold to celebrate life, not protest or riot. Vice President J.D. Vance addressed the crowd with a message that cut through the politics: don’t lose faith. Acknowledging frustration inside the movement, Vance urged supporters to stay hopeful and remember how far the pro-life cause has come since the fall of Roe v. Wade. We break down why Dobbs v. Jackson was a historic turning point, how the fight has shifted back to the states, and why Donald Trump remains the most pro-life president in American history for appointing the justices who overturned Roe. From state-level victories and setbacks to the future of Planned Parenthood and federal enforcement, the March for Life is proof that the culture of life is still alive — and that hope, not despair, is driving the movement forward. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. 14 states have declared a state of emergency over a winter storm approaching this weekend. TikTok will keep on ticking in the USA.The social media company has finalized its sale to US businesses who will now control operations in the US. The US has officially left the World Health Organization. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

With 35 countries on board, including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, and Israel, the coalition is a bold alternative to the United Nations, where every nation pays the same price to participate and actually gets results. We break down why Trump’s peace initiative is being attacked by the left, how critics like Susan Rice accuse him of “playing king of the world,” and why the real outrage is that Trump found a way to bypass corrupt global institutions. From rebuilding Gaza to forcing accountability in international diplomacy, we ask the big question: why is promoting world peace suddenly controversial when America leads it? 16:00 A viral story claims ICE “kidnapped” a five-year-old child in Minnesota — but the American Mamas say the truth tells a very different story. With Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, we unpack what really happened when an illegal immigrant father fled into a snowstorm, abandoning his child, while the mother refused to even open the door to take him back. The conversation cuts through media spin, CNN headlines, and activist outrage to expose how misinformation about immigration enforcement spreads — and why ICE officers may have actually protected the child. From protesters frightening the boy to the surprising reality inside a modern detention center, we challenge the narrative and ask a blunt question: who really failed this child — ICE, or his parents? 23:00 A little-known provision buried in the 2021 Biden infrastructure bill could soon put a government-style “kill switch” in every new car by 2026 — and hardly anyone is talking about it. We break down why Rep. Thomas Massie is sounding the alarm over mandatory drunk-driving detection technology that uses cameras, sensors, and AI to monitor all drivers, not just impaired ones. From cars that can shut themselves down without due process, to privacy concerns, rising vehicle costs, and the risk of tech failures in real emergencies, we dive into what critics are calling Big Brother on wheels. And when 57 Republicans side with Democrats to keep it funded, the question becomes clear: is this really about safety — or about surveillance? 26:00 For the first time in nearly 30 years, the U.S. House of Representatives passed all 12 regular appropriations bills — and did it with bipartisan support. No last-minute omnibus. No backroom deals. Just Congress actually doing its job. We Dig Deep into why this return to regular order is such a big deal for government accountability, fiscal responsibility, and transparency. We credit Speaker Mike Johnson for restoring a committee-driven process that puts power back in the hands of rank-and-file lawmakers — and could finally slow Washington’s runaway spending. It’s not flashy. It’s not dramatic. But it might be the most important thing Congress has done in decades — and the media barely noticed. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:00 Nurses in New York City are on strike — now entering day 11 — and the numbers behind their demands are turning heads. According to reports, some unions are pushing for raises that would bring nurse salaries close to $200,000 a year, sparking a heated debate over healthcare pay, government control, and the so-called free market in medicine. We dig into whether those salaries are realistic — or even possible — in a system dominated by Medicare, Medicaid, and government price controls. With hospitals dependent on federal funding, there is no true market to determine what healthcare jobs are really worth, and massive raises could ultimately hurt hospitals and patients alike. Bottom line: while unions demand more money, socialized healthcare economics may mean everyone pays the price — especially the sick. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From Elon Musk buying Ryanair and ICE “using a child as bait,” to Trump calling the National Guard “bad guys” and world leaders jamming to K-pop, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We react to Senator Richard Blumenthal’s recent comments on CNN criticizing ICE agents in the wake of a highly controversial immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. Blumenthal labeled Americans as being “repulsed” by ICE and called critics of enforcement “abhorrent,” touching off a sharp rebuttal about the role of federal law enforcement in protecting communities and enforcing U.S. immigration law.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 22, 2026. 0:30 Democrats just lost another seat — and once again, they didn’t take it to the voters. They took it to the courts. We break down how a New York judge ruled the city’s only Republican congressional district “unconstitutional,” triggering a forced redraw before the 2026 election. The target? Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis and New York’s 11th District. But here’s the twist: the district isn’t some bizarre salamander-shaped gerrymander. It’s Staten Island and a slice of Brooklyn — one of the most compact districts in the country. So why is it suddenly illegal? Racial gerrymandering, selective enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, and courts acting as political weapons. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The United States has founded the Board of Peace, an international organization created by President Trump. The Department of Justice has begun arresting anti-ICE agitators who stormed a church service in Minnesota over the weekend. A Judge in New York has ruled that the state's 11th Congressional district is unconstitutional under the state's constitution because there are too many white voters in the district. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Is President Trump quietly building a new world order — without the United Nations? We break down Trump’s jaw-dropping new “Board of Peace,” a global coalition where more than 30 countries are each putting up $1 billion to buy into Trump’s vision of international security. From the Middle East to Europe, this isn’t symbolic diplomacy — it’s real money, real power, and real influence. We explore whether this massive fund is reshaping NATO, stabilizing Gaza, sidelining the UN Security Council, and even laying the groundwork for Trump’s bold moves on Greenland and Arctic security. 16:00 Should Don Lemon be in jail? That’s the question we ask American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, after shocking video shows Lemon joining a BLM and anti-ICE activist group to disrupt a church service in Minnesota. What was framed as “journalism” now looks a lot more like activism, as footage reveals Lemon offering coffee and donuts, coordinating with known Black Lives Matter organizer Nakeema Armstrong, and knowingly participating in religious intimidation and political protest inside a place of worship. We dig into the legal and constitutional stakes — from First Amendment rights and religious freedom to whether disrupting a church could qualify as domestic terrorism under federal law. With indictments already handed down to protest leaders, the question remains: was Don Lemon reporting… or was he part of the operation? 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 A viral video featuring a registered nurse wishing graphic medical harm on White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt — who is currently pregnant — has sparked outrage and a serious ethical reckoning. We break down how the Nightingale Pledge, the foundational oath of the nursing profession, is supposed to represent compassion, medical ethics, and basic human decency — and how this nurse’s comments represent the exact opposite. What began as a political disagreement has now crossed into dehumanization, cruelty, and open celebration of suffering. 25:30 New national crime data is turning heads — and rewriting the narrative. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, violent crime in the U.S. dropped sharply in 2025, with homicides down a staggering 21%, gun assaults down 22%, robberies down 23%, and carjackings plummeting by 43%. We Dig Deep into what could be the lowest murder rate in American history, with crime levels now falling below even pre-COVID numbers. So what changed? Is it tougher policing, National Guard deployments, aggressive prosecution, or mass deportations of violent gang members like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua? Crime doesn’t fall because of “economic opportunity” — it falls when laws are enforced, police are backed, criminals are jailed, and punishment is certain. America is once again operating as a nation of laws, not excuses, and Donald Trump’s return to tough-on-crime policies is a major factor behind the historic decline. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

It wasn’t really about constitutional checks and balances, but about Democrats trying to weaken Trump politically — even after what they call a successful operation against Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro with zero U.S. casualties. And we finish off with a story about how Barron Trump likely saved a friend's life.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 21, 2026. 0:30 At the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Trump didn’t bring chaos — he brought a masterclass in power diplomacy. While critics panicked over talk of Greenland and tariffs, Trump laid out a clear, strategic vision focused on national security, Arctic dominance, and America First economics. Trump made headlines by reaffirming U.S. interest in Greenland, not through force, but through negotiation and leverage, calming markets and shifting the global conversation. With Russia expanding Arctic bases and China claiming “near-Arctic” status, the message was unmistakable: Greenland is now a key geopolitical battleground. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things you Need to Know: President Trump is backing down from his threat of increasing tariffs on Europe over his attempt to bring Greenland into the United States. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is launching a new operation, this time in Maine. Former NFL Sideline Reporter Michelle Tafoya is running for Senate in Minnesota. 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 fiery moment in a House Homeland Security hearing is making waves after Rep. Delia Ramirez launched an emotional attack on ICE and immigration enforcement. Claiming agents are “kidnapping” and “disappearing” people, Ramirez accused DHS of carrying out Trump’s so-called mass deportation agenda — but the speech was less about facts and more about political theater. The real controversy? Ramirez openly identifying herself as a “proud Guatemalan” while serving in the U.S. Congress, sparking backlash over national loyalty, immigration policy, and what it means to put America first. We dive into the growing tension over illegal immigration, border enforcement, ICE funding, and identity politics, asking a blunt question: should elected officials represent the United States — or another country? 16:00 How much freedom is too much for kids in today’s world? Our American Mamas Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle one of the biggest parenting debates head-on — from “free-range parenting” to strict boundaries, screen time, and discipline. They swap real-life stories about monitoring kids’ phones, discovering porn at school, spanking as a last resort, and why being your child’s best friend might actually backfire. We break down modern parenting styles — authoritative vs permissive vs authoritarian — and asks the question every parent is wrestling with in the age of smartphones and social media: Are today’s kids overprotected, or is the world just too dangerous to take risks anymore? 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 For years, Americans were told mass immigration was necessary because “citizens won’t do the work.” There's plenty of work for Americans to do but AI might just replace white-collar workers. According to Palantir CEO Alex Karp, artificial intelligence is about to wipe out huge swaths of office and middle-management roles, while blue-collar and trade jobs are set to explode. From manufacturing and refineries to supply chains and skilled labor, the conversation makes the case that America’s future depends on vocational training, domestic industry, and bringing production back home. 26:00 On the one-year anniversary of President Trump’s return to office, we break down what a historic first year — and why media coverage looks completely different depending on who’s writing the headline. From border security and mass deportations to tariff wars, manufacturing jobs, and shrinking the federal bureaucracy, we walk through Trump’s biggest policy wins: cutting the trade deficit, expanding domestic energy production, ending DEI programs, and keeping the 2017 tax cuts alive. Trump didn’t just reverse Biden-era policies — he reshaped global trade, government spending, and U.S. energy strategy in just 12 months. Love him or hate him, the verdict here is clear: Trump’s first year back is one of the most aggressive and transformative presidencies in modern American politics — with year two already promising even bigger battles ahead. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 After watching yet another viral clip from The View, we hit their breaking point — this time over Whoopi Goldberg calling for the 25th Amendment against President Trump because she claimed he “didn’t seem energetic enough” at Davos. We tear into her total misunderstanding of the Constitution, arguing the 25th Amendment isn’t a “vibe check,” but a safeguard for real incapacitation — not political dislike. It's pure Democratic projection, accusing the media of inventing narratives about Trump’s stamina while ignoring years of covering up Biden’s decline. The verdict: this isn’t about mental fitness — it’s about politics, optics, and a media class that’s run out of real arguments. 36:30 Was buying Alaska from Russia the greatest real estate deal in world history? We revisit the infamous 1867 purchase — mocked at the time as “Seward’s Folly” — and explain why it turned into one of the smartest geopolitical and economic moves America ever made. From gold and oil discoveries to Cold War military strategy, Alaska didn’t just pay for itself — it reshaped U.S. power on the global stage. And then comes the modern twist: if Alaska was once laughed at and later hailed as genius, Greenland could be the next great American acquisition — a bold move that today’s critics may someday call visionary. 39:30 Nike is facing major backlash after unveiling its new “Honor the King” sneaker tied to Martin Luther King Jr.We discuss the corporate commodification of MLK, arguing that Dr. King was a moral leader, not a marketing brand or lifestyle aesthetic. And we finish off with a volunteer fire fighter who will make you say, "Whoa!" Articles: Trump calls off tariffs over Greenland after deal with NATO leader Trump Calls Off Tariffs After Reaching ‘Framework’ Of Greenland Deal ICE Launches Maine Operation An Impressive Year One for Trump 2.0 Trump goes too far, but he's delivering a prosperous America | Opinion One Year Later: Promises Made, Promises Kept Trump, Greenland and history: When the US bought Alaska from Russia in 1867 Follow us: americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 20, 2025. 0:30 Is Wall Street moving to Texas? It might not be official—yet—but the signs are everywhere. We break down the explosive rise of NYSE Texas and the brand-new Texas Stock Exchange in Dallas, and what it means for the future of American finance. As New York tightens taxes and treats wealth like a crime, Texas is offering low regulation, affordable living, and a pro-business environment that’s attracting banks, corporations, and financial talent by the thousands. From housing costs to political culture, we ask the uncomfortable question: is Dallas becoming the new financial capital of the world while New York drives business away? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump is in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum meeting. Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson spoke to the British Parliament in London today. The State of California is being ordered to pay back more than $1.3 billion to the Federal government for Medicaid Fraud. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Now even your clothes have to pass a political test? We react to Michelle Obama’s latest comments suggesting Americans should think about the race of their fashion designers before buying clothes. The conversation turns into a blunt takedown of modern race politics, cancel culture, and what critics call “ideological purity tests” creeping into everyday life. From closets to consumer choices, we ask the real question: when did buying a shirt stop being about style and start being about race, politics, and virtue signaling? 16:00 Ever put your foot in your mouth so badly you wanted the ground to swallow you?

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 19, 2026. 0:30 A church service in St. Paul, Minnesota was violently disrupted—and this wasn’t activism or a protest gone too far. It was a warning. In this explosive segment, we break down the shocking invasion of a house of worship by far-left agitators, the terror it caused for families and children, and why this moment signals a growing threat to religious freedom in America. We unpack how the First Amendment actually works, why “hands up, don’t shoot” was invoked inside a church despite being a proven falsehood, and how comparing this disruption to Jesus “flipping tables” completely misses the truth of Scripture. From ancient Rome to Soviet Russia to modern-day China, history shows what happens when mobs or governments decide which beliefs are acceptable—and why the Founders put freedom of worship at the very top. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. On Sunday, anti-ICE agitators stormed a church in Minneapolis, mid service. President Trump is suing JP Morgan Chase bank for de-banking him. Elon Musk has made his largest political donation in a US Senate Campaign Ever. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We break down the meaning of “debanking” — and why it should alarm anyone who claims to oppose oligarchy, fascism, or unaccountable power. What sounds like a boring financial term is actually a quiet but devastating weapon: banks cutting people off from basic financial services not for fraud or criminal behavior, but for holding the “wrong” political views. No warning. No due process. No appeal. 16:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas: Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson. Is modeling still a real career in the age of Instagram, influencers, and AI? From Melania Trump’s supermodel past to today’s social-media-driven fame, we break down how the industry has completely flipped. Runway models may still walk the catwalk, but many admit they’re broke. Meanwhile, Instagram models and influencers—with filters, cosmetic surgery, and massive followings—are the ones actually making money, getting brand deals, and shaping culture. But is this shift healthier… or worse? We dig into body image, “body positivity,” filters, Ozempic, and the hypocrisy of woke celebrity culture that preached self-love—until a miracle weight-loss drug showed up. Whether it’s runway modeling or social media influencing, tying your livelihood to your appearance comes at a cost. 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 circle back to the Minneapolis church that was stormed by left-wing ICE protesters—and this time the conversation gets even more alarming. What started as agitators chanting “hands up, don’t shoot” inside a house of worship quickly turns into something far more dangerous: elected officials openly encouraging more churches to be targeted. 26:00 Florida just dropped a legal bombshell—and it could permanently reshape legal education in America. We break down the Florida Supreme Court’s decision to strip the American Bar Association of its monopoly power over law school accreditation, a role the ABA has held nationwide for decades. Why does this matter? Because the court says the ABA stopped acting like a neutral standards body and started acting like a political enforcer—pushing DEI mandates and ideological compliance instead of merit-based legal training. Florida’s ruling opens the door for alternative accrediting bodies and puts access, affordability, academic freedom, and non-discrimination back at the center of legal education. And Florida isn’t alone. Texas has already kicked the ABA out entirely, placing accreditation authority directly under the state Supreme Court. Now other conservative states like Ohio and Tennessee are lining up to follow suit, setting the stage for a clear red-state vs. blue-state divide in how future lawyers are trained. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Your car isn’t just getting you from point A to point B anymore—it’s quietly tracking you the entire way. We break down how modern vehicles have become rolling surveillance machines, recording your location history, driving habits, and even who’s riding with you—and yes, automakers can legally sell much of that data. We dig into a new push in Congress to put drivers back in control. Representative Eric Burlison and Senator Mike Lee have reintroduced the Auto Data Privacy and Autonomy Act, a bill designed to give vehicle owners the right to see what data is being collected, stop the tracking, delete stored information, and opt out of having their personal driving data sold. 35:30 On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we go back to something you don’t hear quoted nearly enough—a powerful early-1960s sermon from Dr. King on the Good Samaritan and the limits of government power. Long before today’s culture wars, MLK warned that laws can enforce justice, but they can’t manufacture compassion, morality, or love. We connect King’s words to a hard truth facing America right now: the Constitution assumes a moral people—it doesn’t create one. You can outlaw theft, but you can’t legislate empathy. You can regulate behavior, but you can’t command the heart. As King put it, “man-made laws assure justice, but a higher law produces love.” 39:30 We take a hard look at Hollywood hypocrisy after Ellen DeGeneres—now living comfortably on an $18 million farm in England—publicly praised the activists who stormed a church during a live worship service. We break down why this wasn’t “peaceful protest,” but intimidation and trespass, and why nobody gets hurt for simply protesting—you get hurt when you confront police, disrupt worship, or violate the rights of others. 41:30 And we finish off with a celebrity and philanthropist who will make you say, "Whoa!"

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 15, 2025. 0:30 We kick off today's show with Democrat lawmakers, in multiple states, who are openly pushing bills to block, undermine, and hobble federal ICE agents—despite clear constitutional authority under the Supremacy Clause. This isn’t about legal ambiguity; it’s about defying laws they don’t like and protecting a political agenda. We're laying it out bluntly: these state efforts will fail in court, waste millions in taxpayer dollars, and further embolden lawlessness. Weakening ICE doesn’t help vulnerable communities—it hurts them the most by driving up crime, suppressing wages, and draining resources from American citizens. This is a line in the sand moment. You’re either for the rule of law and law enforcement, or you’re for chaos and ideological nullification of the Constitution. There is no middle ground. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things you Need to Know. President Trump unveiled a new healthcare plan. Vice President JD Vance cast the deciding vote blocking a rebuke of President Trump's Venezuela policies. Another oil tanker leaving Venezuela has been seized by the United States. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We don’t hold back as we react to what’s going on in Minnesota — and it’s not just a “local issue,” it’s a crisis of law and order. Democrat politicians in the state are openly encouraging people to defy lawful orders from law enforcement and interfere with ICE operations, even as violent clashes escalate. In Minneapolis, federal immigration enforcement has drawn massive protests after the fatal shooting of a woman during an ICE operation and a separate incident where a Venezuelan man and others assaulted an ICE agent with a shovel and broomstick, forcing the agent to fire in self-defense. When local leaders stoke resistance to federal law enforcement, what do you think is going to happen? This isn’t peaceful protest — it’s chaos, violence against officers, and the kind of breakdown in public safety that puts everyone at risk. 16:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson. Are we seeing more celebrities and public figures openly embrace conservative values? The Mamas weigh in, reacting to some surprising “red-pill” moments—from Nicki Minaj speaking out about faith and global issues, to longtime quiet conservatives like Patricia Heaton finally opening up about what it was like to be a political “unicorn” in Hollywood. The conversation hits on why more famous voices are stepping out now: social media, the collapse of trust in legacy media, and people realizing they don’t have to think the way the culture tells them to. From Michael Rapaport’s political flip to growing shifts in the Black community, the Mamas argue this isn’t about following a trend—it’s about people thinking for themselves, finding community, and giving others the confidence to say, “I’m not alone, and I don’t have to stay quiet anymore.” 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 With more than 500 million firearms now in civilian hands, America is still governed by consent—not force. The Second Amendment isn’t just about personal protection; it’s about sovereignty, self-defense, and making tyranny too costly to even attempt. Compare that to places like Britain New York, and California where strict gun control hasn’t produced safety—it’s produced more crime, more surveillance, and more government overreach, while criminals stay armed and law-abiding citizens get disarmed. The bottom line? When power shifts away from citizens, it doesn’t disappear—it lands in the hands of criminals or the state. Those 500 million firearms are a reminder that America still remembers who she is: a free, self-governing people. 25:30 We Dig Deep into a disturbing pattern of government fraud—this time in Washington State. After the daycare fraud scandal in Minnesota, reporters started digging and found dozens of so-called “home-based childcare centers” receiving tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars every month… despite the fact that no daycare was actually operating there. No kids. No business. Just checks rolling in. And when journalists did what journalists are supposed to do—knocked on doors, verified addresses, and reported the findings—the state’s response wasn’t outrage over fraud. It was outrage at the reporters. Instead of addressing where the money went, Washington officials scolded the press for exposing it, proving just how comfortable some politicians have become with unaccountable government and a compliant media. This isn’t just about daycare fraud—it’s about why a free press exists in the first place, and what happens when those in power would rather silence scrutiny than answer hard questions. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We talk about a major moment on the world stage as Donald Trump meets with Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado. This wasn’t just a photo op—it was a declaration of what America is supposed to stand for. After decades of socialist destruction and authoritarian rule in Venezuela, a pro-freedom leader who was hunted, persecuted, and forced into exile is now sitting down with a U.S. president to talk about her country’s future. 35:30 We take a look at just how unhinged the far-left media has become—and then point out the moment they accidentally tell the truth. Using The American Prospect as the example, we run through some of their over-the-top headlines comparing Donald Trump to genocidal dictators and accusing him of “ethnic cleansing.” Pure Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display. But here’s the twist: buried in all that hysteria, even this far-left outlet is forced to admit something they swore could never be true—Trump’s tariffs are actually working. They acknowledge the trade deficit is down, inflation hasn’t spiked, real wages are up, and foreign exporters are eating much of the cost. After years of screaming that tariffs would wreck the economy, the facts are winning. When even a publication that despises Trump has to concede his policies delivered results, that’s not just ironic—it’s a bright spot and a quiet admission that Trump may have been right all along. 39:30 We dive into the messy headlines and the real-world diplomacy behind them. While there’s been chatter—especially online—about divides and even anti-Semitism swirling through certain corners of the right (with bots amplifying the noise), the facts tell a very different story. According to the New York Times, Israel and the U.S. remain closely aligned. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with a teacher couple who will make you say, "Whoa!"

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 14, 2026. 0:30 We break down a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling that could reshape election law nationwide. In a 7–2 decision, the Court ruled that candidates do have legal standing to challenge allegedly unlawful election rules—marking a sharp departure from how similar cases were dismissed after the 2020 election. We dive into mail-in ballot deadlines, federal election law, and why this ruling reopens the courthouse doors for challenges to election procedures—not election outcomes. The decision restores constitutional balance, exposes past judicial failures, and could have lasting implications for election integrity, voter confidence, and future federal elections. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US Supreme Court ruled today that a candidate for public office can sue a state over their election laws. 22 people have signed up to run for an open congressional seat in Georgia. Saks Global, the parent company of some of the largest department stores in America, has filed for bankruptcy. 12:30 We continue our deep dive into the Supreme Court’s recent election law ruling, and it's one of the most consequential decisions of the modern era. The Court’s refusal to hear election challenges in 2020—by repeatedly dismissing cases over “lack of standing”—amounted to a dangerous abdication of judicial responsibility. When no one is allowed to challenge the legality of election laws, the rule of law itself is undermined and public trust in elections erodes. 16:00 We got a question for our American Mamas — Are women judged more harshly than men for the condition of their homes? Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson humor, honesty, and real-life examples to explore the double standard many women feel when it comes to cleanliness, motherhood, and domestic expectations. Citing a Good Housekeeping study, the Mamas discuss how identical messes are judged differently depending on whether a man or a woman is assumed to be responsible. 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 The left’s intellectual double standard on science and biology is just ridiculous. We break down the tense Senate hearing exchange between Senator Josh Hawley and Dr. Nisha Verma, a board-certified OBGYN. The moment perfectly captures a broader cultural clash: Democrats who claim to “follow the science” but refuse to define basic biological realities when pressed on what it means to be a man or a woman. 27:00 We Dig Deep into a new State Department policy pausing immigrant visa processing from dozens of countries where incoming migrants rely on U.S. welfare programs at unusually high rates. It's an “America First” move and a return to the long-standing principle that immigration should benefit the nation and its citizens, not strain public resources. Despite what the Left says, the policy isn't heartless or racist, it's a return to traditional U.S. immigration policy that prioritizes what is best for America. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We react to reports that Denmark is deploying military reinforcements to Greenland ahead of a high-level White House meeting, but is it political theater or serious deterrence? How could a relatively small military force realistically hope to intimidate the United States? 35:00 A directive sent to CBS News staff during Supreme Court arguments directed them to use the phrase "biological sex at birth" when referring to transgender individuals. That's a Bright Spot compared to the Associated Press' stylebook, which promotes terms like “sex assigned at birth.” The takeaway: accurate language matters, and CBS’s choice signals that factual clarity should outweigh political or cultural pressure in news coverage. 39:30 We discuss news from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has approved a record $9 billion budget for 2026—the largest in the organization’s history. While the foundation is increasing its spending, it is also planning to cut roughly 500 jobs, reducing its workforce by about 20 percent over the next several years.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 13, 2025. 0:30 We break down President Trump’s upcoming health care affordability plan, arguing it targets the real crisis driving America’s health care system: skyrocketing prices. From rising insurance premiums and crushing deductibles to unaffordable prescription drugs, the conversation zeroes in on why the Affordable Care Act failed to deliver affordable care for millions of Americans—especially seniors on fixed incomes. We explore Trump’s push for lower drug prices through “most favored nation” pricing, increased transparency, and free-market competition, framing it as an America First approach to health care reform that could finally rein in costs without expanding Obamacare subsidies. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Supreme Court heard arguments today about whether boys should be allowed to play in girls sports. President Trump revoked the Temporary Protected Status of Somali immigrants here in the US. Former President Bill Clinton and former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton failed to appear at a Congressional Hearing after they were subpoenaed to tesify about Jeffrey Epstein. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 A controversial Senate vote is exposing a deep divide within the Republican Party. We react to news that 14 Republican senators joined Democrats to approve $5.6 billion in refugee assistance funding—nearly three times the level before the Biden administration—despite ongoing fraud investigations tied to refugee programs in states like Minnesota and Ohio. And we're naming names! John Kennedy, Susan Collins, Lisa, Murkowski, Lindsey Graham among others supported the measure, and it's a betrayal of conservative principles and an abandonment of fiscal responsiblity. 16:00 We've got a question for American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — is it even worth trying to talk to people on the political left anymore? We discuss the importance of maintaining civil dialogue across political divides, even when those conversations are uncomfortable. A healthy disagreement is a sign of maturity and growth, not weakness, and real connection can still happen when humor and respect are allowed into the room. 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 break down sanctuary cities and their long-running "shell game" with federal taxpayer dollars. For years these jurisdictions accepted billions in federal funding for infrastructure, health care, and law enforcement while simultaneously refusing to cooperate with ICE and shielding illegal immigrants—including criminals—from enforcement. Well that era is over. President Trump announced that the federal government will cut off all federal funding to any city or state that deliberately blocks Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 26:00 We Dig Deep into latest example of “impeachment as a political weapon,” reacting to Illinois Congresswoman Robin Kelly’s filing of articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The allegations range from obstruction of congressional oversight to abuse of office. But they are all examples of blatant retaliation for Noem’s enforcement of federal immigration laws under the Trump administration. Democrats refused to convict former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, but they are pushing to impeach Noem, who is enforcing the law. Democrats now view impeachment as a strategy—even when conviction is impossible—to undermine election results and stall governance. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We turn to the escalating crisis in Iran and our concern over the uncertainty surrounding the situation as reports emerge of a brutal regime crackdown on protesters. With internet access cut off and reliable information scarce, we cite estimates of thousands killed or arrested by Iran’s security forces as demonstrations against the theocratic government continue. The unrest is a pivotal moment for the Iranian people—and a serious test of U.S. foreign policy. 35:30 The Stop Insider Trader Act is a Bright Spot. It would ban members of Congress from buying and selling individual stocks while in office, while still allowing them to hold preexisting investments and invest in broad-based index funds. The proposal would also extend restrictions to spouses and dependent children, a provision that would have directly impacted high-profile cases of congressional stock trading. Lawmakers should not need a special law to remind them not to profit from nonpublic information obtained through their official duties. This bill’s upcoming House hearing and support from leadership mark a meaningful moment. Americans aren’t demanding perfection from their representatives—just honesty, fairness, and an end to profiting off privileged access. 39:30 We discuss President Trump’s visit to Dearborn, Michigan, where he toured the Ford F-150 plant and delivered remarks to the Detroit Economic Club alongside Ford executive Bill Ford Jr., highlighting American manufacturing, jobs, and the auto industry. The visit took a turn when a heckler reportedly shouts an accusation at the president on the factory floor, prompting an alleged profane response from Trump.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 8, 2026. 0:30 We kick off today's show with Washington's factory fraud. JD Vance’s announcement of a powerful new Assistant Attorney General—armed with nationwide authority to prosecute welfare fraud, immigration fraud, business fraud, and government waste—is the moment the era of slap-on-the-wrist accountability finally ends. With billions already exposed in places like Minnesota and trillions in potential waste on the table, the Trump-Vance team is putting real enforcement behind the Department of Government Efficiency and cutting off the financial incentives that fuel illegal immigration and benefits fraud. No more lawfare, no more fake oversight—this is the federal government getting serious about protecting taxpayers and restoring the rule of law. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The House passed a bill today authorizing the extension of Obamacare subsidies. The state of New York is planning on providing free daycare for children under 2 years of age. California, Superior Court judge Israel Claustro pled guilty to one count of mail fraud in conjunction with a worker's compensation scheme. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We're pulling back the curtain on the OnlyFans economy and why it’s exploding in the middle of an affordability crisis. While Americans say they’re struggling with inflation, groceries, rent, and healthcare, the U.S. alone is now spending billions of dollars on online pornography, with OnlyFans revenue still climbing, not slowing down. We dig into the darker side of the digital age—how porn monetizes loneliness, isolation, and insecurity, teaches people to tie their worth to their bodies, and replaces real human connection with paid digital fantasy. The takeaway is unsettling: this isn’t just about adult content—it’s about a culture quietly being reshaped by big money, tech, and emotional emptiness. 16:00 The American Mamas take on the Minneapolis ICE shooting that left a woman dead after a chaotic confrontation with federal agents. Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson break down what really happened, why video evidence matters, and how political rhetoric, media spin, and calls to “resist ICE” are putting lives in danger. We ask the hard questions about law enforcement, activist incitement, and personal responsibility, while also recognizing the tragedy for the woman’s family. 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 Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy champion turned host, jumped into the political fray with a social-media swipe at President Trump and the Trump administration. What Jennings posted wasn’t just criticism, but a call for political vengeance, the kind of rhetoric that’s already tearing the country apart. It's a stark contrast of Alex Trebek's steady, apolitical legacy and proof that being brilliant with facts doesn’t automatically make someone wise. 26:00 We Dig Deep into President Trump’s warning to the military-industrial complex, after he blasted major defense contractors for overpaying executives and shareholders while under-delivering for national security. It's a closed, cushy industry that’s lost its edge—too little competition, too much comfort, and not nearly enough urgency. China churns out more than a hundred ships a year while the U.S. barely manages a handful. Trump isn’t just talking about money—he’s demanding a wartime mindset, forcing contractors to reinvest in factories, workers, and real production instead of stock buybacks and bloated paychecks, because complacency in defense doesn’t just waste dollars—it risks the country’s survival. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We take on Stephen A. Smith’s reaction to the Minneapolis ICE shooting, where he said the officer was justified—but should have “shot the tires instead.” But real-world policing doesn’t work like TV, especially when an officer is being run over by a car on icy pavement. We explain why officers are trained to shoot center mass, not tires or limbs, because missing in a split second can be fatal. Tragedy wasn’t caused by the officer—it was the result of a protester making reckless, deadly choices, while commentators safely second-guess from the sidelines. 35:30 President Trump decided to pull the U.S. out of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and that's a Bright Spot! The IPCC has long blurred science and politics, pushing alarmist conclusions that its own data doesn’t support while silencing dissenting research. The agency exists more to control policy and funding than to report honest science. Trump’s move to withdraw from the IPCC—and dozens of other UN groups—cuts off money to institutions that undermine U.S. interests and putting America first. 39:30 We take on the AOC–Jesse Watters dust-up, where a crude offhand joke from the Fox News host has now turned into a full-blown political grievance. Watters’ comment about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Stephen Miller was dumb and unnecessary, but does it really rise to the level of “sexual harassment” the congresswoman claims?

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 8, 2026. 0:30 We kick off today’s show with President Trump's move to ban big institutional investors from buying single-family homes, not as anti-capitalism, but as a necessary check on corporations that can outbid families with cash and unfair advantages. The housing market is broken for working Americans and first-time homebuyers who did everything right and still got locked out. Single-family homes are for families, not hedge funds, and a fair market is essential to preserving the American Dream. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. A 37 year old woman was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. The US seized two oil tankers on the high seas early Wednesday morning. The Federal Government is freezing $10 billion in aid to five states over concerns about “widespread fraud and misuse of taxpayer dollars in state-administered programs.” 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We continue the discussion about what’s shaping up to be one of the most consequential housing fights in the country. President Trump’s executive order blocking corporations from buying single-family homes, drawing a sharp line between expanding opportunity and mandating outcomes. Trump’s approach clears the lane for families to compete fairly, while socialist policies like rent controls and property seizures in New York City aim to engineer results through government force. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on Mayor Zoran Mamdani’s controversial appointment of Sia Weaver, the city’s new “tenant protections” czar. We dive into Weaver’s openly communist ideology, her attacks on private property and homeownership, and past statements critics say target white Americans while redefining housing as government-controlled “collective” property. It’s a fiery, no-holds-barred discussion about radical housing policy, woke ideology, and what this appointment could mean for landlords, tenants, and the future of property rights in New York City. 23:00 Late-night hosts once again push the tired claim that President Trump’s move against Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro was just a distraction from the Epstein files. We're dismantling that narrative, pointing out the real national security threat posed by Maduro, the Biden-era bounty on his head, and the media’s selective amnesia about who was actually tied to Epstein. It’s a blunt takedown of woke late-night TV, media hypocrisy, and comedians who traded humor for talking points—and are now paying the price in ratings and relevance. 25:00 We take a deeper look at faith, fear, and politics, starting with Proverbs 23:7 — “as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Drawing from recent election and academic studies, we connect church attendance, anxiety levels, and voting behavior, revealing a sharp divide between Republicans and Democrats. We unpack how faith correlates with lower anxiety and a preference for freedom and self-determination, while chronic anxiety fuels support for big-government, collectivist policies. It’s a candid discussion on religion, political ideology, and why the battle for America’s future is ultimately a battle of the mind and the heart. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dive into the growing protests in Iran and the renewed calls for President Trump to stand with the Iranian people against the regime in Tehran. Supporting protesters does not mean putting U.S. boots on the ground, something neither Trump nor the American people want. Instead, the discussion highlights how Trump’s tough enforcement of sanctions—largely ignored under the Biden administration—has crippled Iran’s economy, driven runaway inflation, and exposed the regime’s weakness. 35:30 We take on the long-debunked government food pyramids of the past and highlight a much-needed reset. With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unveiling new Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the focus shifts back to something refreshingly simple: eat real food. We break down why the old grain-heavy pyramid wasn’t based on real science and how the new approach emphasizes protein, dairy, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, hydration, and portion control. The takeaway is clear and practical—cut the sugar, avoid highly processed foods, stop drinking calories, and eat reasonable portions. The new guidelines a rare bright spot in public health policy, grounded in common sense and actual science rather than confusing government food experiments. 39:30 We tee up one of the most consequential State of the Union addresses in modern politics. With Speaker Mike Johnson officially inviting President Trump to deliver the address on February 24, 2026, this as far more than a routine annual speech. This will be a high-stakes moment where Trump lays out why the America First agenda, the “Trump train,” and Republican control of Congress must continue beyond 2026.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 6, 2026. 0:30 Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is under fire after unleashing profanity-laced attacks on the U.S. Supreme Court following its decision to allow Texas to temporarily use its Republican-drawn congressional map. The Court issued a procedural stay—not a ruling on the merits—so Texas elections can move forward while redistricting lawsuits continue. Crockett’s outburst isn’t legal criticism but political theater, especially ironic for someone claiming sharp legal credentials while running for U.S. Senate. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Congress is working on a series of spending bills designed to avert a second government shutdown. Republican Congressman Doug LaMalfa died this week.LaMalfa had represented the 1st Congressional District in California since 2013. A former Georgia State Lawmaker has been indicted for COVID relief fund fraud.Democrat State Rep Karen Bennett announced in December that she was resigning her position in the Georgia House. 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 New White House data shows President Trump spoke more than 2.57 million transcribed words last year and spent roughly 74% of his public time directly answering press questions, reinforcing claims he’s the most accessible president in U.S. history. Trump is dominating the bandwidth, bypassing legacy media and delivering his message straight to the public—even while sparring with hostile reporters. This constant engagement has blunted fake news narratives and weakened deep-state leaks that plagued his first term. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dig into whether social skills and personal responsibility are being sacrificed as elite colleges expand disability accommodations. The conversation points to reports claiming up to 38% of students at top universities identify as disabled, raising concerns about loopholes, academic advantages, and a growing culture of victimhood. The Mamas contrast today’s mindset with the pride and resilience of the Greatest Generation, arguing that hardship once built character, not special treatment. They warn that intelligence without ethics—and incentives to game the system—creates long-term consequences for society. 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 Joe Biden is set to receive the largest presidential pension in U.S. history—about $417,000 a year, paid by taxpayers. All while Americans rely on modest Social Security checks and delay retirement because of inflation and rising costs. Longevity in government, not merit or performance, is what drives massive pensions and perks in Washington. 27:00 Seattle and its new socialist leadership moved to stop prosecuting drug possession and public drug use, diverting offenders into social services instead of jail. The policy mirrors a failed 2021 experiment that coincided with nearly 2,000 overdose deaths in Seattle over two years. Abandoning law and order doesn’t reduce poverty or addiction, but accelerates crime, death, and urban decay—especially hurting working-class communities. Just another example of socialism ignoring recent history and real-world consequences in major U.S. cities. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down the Democrat hypocrisy over Venezuela. Democrats publicly demanded Nicolas Maduro’s removal for years and even backed multimillion-dollar bounties on his arrest. But once President Trump ordered decisive military action to capture Maduro, critics on the left suddenly condemned the operation as unlawful or politically motivated. Senator John Fetterman is a rare Democrat acknowledging the reality of the situation. 36:00 111 officers died in the line of duty in 2025, the lowest number in more than 80 years. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, that total represents a 25% drop from 2024 and a dramatic decline from the peak in 2021. Stronger leadership, better policing practices, and a renewed emphasis on officer safety and wellness under the Trump administration drastically reduced the number of deaths. Law and order can directly impact crime, officer safety, and public respect for police. 39:30 And we reflect on January 6 with new revelations that challenge the long-standing narrative, including reports of FBI plainclothes agents in the crowd and withheld video evidence. Many January 6 defendants had their constitutional rights violated when exculpatory footage was not turned over to defense attorneys. We also revisit President Trump’s request to deploy the National Guard and Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to authorize it. Taken together, the official January 6 story is unraveling as more facts emerge.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 1, 2026. 0:30 A controversial appointment in New York City is raising serious red flags as the new mayor — Zohran Mamdani — installs a Democratic Socialist housing activist who has openly called for the seizure of private property and labeled homeownership a form of “white supremacy.” We break down why this move goes far beyond tenant advocacy and strikes at the heart of American freedom, private property rights, and constitutional principles. From New York’s iconic skyline to immigrant success stories, property ownership—not government control—is the foundation of liberty and prosperity. As radical housing policies gain traction in America’s largest city, the question becomes unavoidable: Is New York exporting socialism—and what does that mean for the future of the country? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The former dictator of Venezuela appeared in a New York City Courtroom to plead not guilty to charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices against the United States. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has abandoned his race for a third consecutive Term. A man was arrested after damaging property at Vice President JD Vance's home in Cincinnati, Ohio. 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 We revisit Chuck Schumer’s 2020 attacks on President Trump over Venezuela, when Schumer accused Trump of being too weak for failing to remove dictator Nicolás Maduro. At the time, Schumer demanded tougher action and mocked Trump for not delivering regime change. Fast-forward to 2026, and the tables have turned. Trump did exactly what Schumer claimed to want—after Maduro was indicted by the Trump Justice Department in 2020 and then ignored for four full years under the Biden administration. Yet now that Trump has acted, Schumer is still unhappy. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss the situation in Venezuela after the arrest of Nicolas Maduro. The Mamas describe watching videos of Venezuelans celebrating in the streets—both inside Venezuela and across places like Miami, Chile, and Buenos Aires—after decades of repression, food shortages, and stolen wages. Even as Venezuelan expatriates openly celebrate his removal, left-wing protests defend Maduro. Is this another case of Trump Derangement Syndrome? 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 Here’s something you won’t hear much about: car theft in the United States is down nearly 25%, and the timing isn’t accidental. Since the Trump administration began cracking down on illegal immigration and international theft rings, stolen vehicle numbers have dropped sharply compared to the same period last year. 25:00 There are a lot of unanswered questions swirling around Venezuela—and we're digging deep. Why did President Trump say the U.S. is “running” Venezuela? Why isn’t Washington immediately backing the opposition leaders who reportedly won the 2024 election? Why are Venezuelans celebrating abroad, but the streets inside Venezuela remain eerily quiet? The answer is Cuba. We lay a theory that explains the loose ends: Maduro didn’t trust his own military, so his inner security was handled by Cuban operatives, trained by the old Soviet KGB. That explains why most of those killed during Maduro’s ouster were Cuban, not Venezuelan—and why fear still grips the country. The Cubans, not Maduro alone, were effectively the deep state of Venezuela, controlling intelligence, security, and enforcement. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 About a third of Venezuela’s oil has been going straight to China—not out of friendship, but leverage, discounts, and a shot at the United States. With U.S. sanctions in place, Beijing was scooping up embargoed oil on the cheap while thumbing its nose at Washington. Win-win for China. But that game may be ending. As global dynamics shift, President Trump signals a different approach: sell Venezuela’s oil on the open market, rebuild its broken energy infrastructure, and let prosperity replace poverty. And make no mistake—Venezuela should be rich. It has more proven oil reserves than any country on Earth and massive gold reserves, yet its people are poor because socialism turned a resource powerhouse into a failed state. 35:30 The U.S. raid to capture Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro isn’t unprecedented—it closely mirrors America’s 1989–1990 operation to arrest Panama’s dictator, Manuel Noriega. Back then, Noriega was indicted for drug trafficking, rejected a deal to step aside, lost a monitored election, and was ultimately seized by U.S. forces and brought to trial. Sound familiar? The parallels are striking, right down to the date: Noriega was captured on January 3, 1990—exactly 36 years before Maduro was taken into custody on January 3, 2026. 39:30 The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board says Minnesota’s massive welfare fraud scandal isn’t about Somali immigrants—it’s about a bloated welfare state that invites corruption. There’s some truth there. Big government does create big temptation. But that explanation stops short of the uncomfortable question: why is so much of this fraud concentrated in one specific demographic? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 30, 2025. 0:30 We kick off today’s show with a major legal showdown as the U.S. Department of Justice takes aim at the state of Virginia over immigration and college tuition policy. We break down how Virginia law allows students without legal immigration status to qualify for discounted tuition if they attended Virginia schools, even as law-abiding U.S. citizens from states like West Virginia or North Carolina are forced to pay more. These benefits directly violate federal law, which prohibits states from offering post-secondary education benefits to illegal immigrants unless those same benefits are provided to all U.S. citizens on identical terms. It's a test of the Supremacy Clause and federal authority over immigration, and these policies normalize lawlessness one benefit at a time. 10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. US Attorney General Pam Bondi said this week that the DOJ has already indicted 98 people with fraud in Minnesota this year. A federal judge has ruled that the Trump Administration does not have the authority to block funding to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. President Trump will become the first non-Israeli to be awarded the Israel Prize. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

As scrutiny intensifies, the focus turns to empty daycare centers—previously exposed by independent reporting— that are now suddenly filled with children, raising serious questions about timing and credibility. 16:00 The American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson don’t hold back on this one. They take on the question of why it suddenly feels like everyone has a disability—and whether it’s about real need or working the system. While acknowledging legitimate conditions that truly require accommodations, they zero in on what they see as a disturbing trend: elite college students claiming disability status for special treatment, extra time, exemptions, and advantages. This isn’t about compassion anymore—it’s about entitlement. A culture that rewards victimhood, hands out loopholes, and teaches young people that being “broken” is a badge of honor. Comparing today’s mindset to the grit and pride of earlier generations, the Mamas warn that intelligence without ethics is dangerous, and a society that incentivizes weakness shouldn’t be surprised when responsibility, character, and resilience disappear. 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 Protests are breaking out across multiple cities in Iran as the country's economy spirals. The national currency has collapsed to record lows against the U.S. dollar, inflation has surged past 40 percent, and everyday life is becoming increasingly unlivable for ordinary Iranians. 24:30 Plus, we give director and actor Steven Grayhm a call. His film Sheepdog, is set to release nationwide on January 16, centered on the unseen battles of PTSD and the long-term cost of military service. Grayhm spent years traveling the country, listening to veterans, Gold Star families, and mental-health professionals, determined to tell their stories without political spin or Hollywood gloss. The result, he says, is a “love letter” to those who wore the uniform and the families who carried the burden alongside them. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 According to newly revealed information, more than $5 billion in HUD rental assistance payments during the final year of the Biden administration were flagged as questionable or improper—an eye-popping figure that immediately raises red flags. According to newly revealed information, more than $5 billion in HUD rental assistance payments during the final year of the Biden administration were flagged as questionable or improper—an eye-popping figure that immediately raises red flags. The most jaw-dropping detail: over 30,000 of those payments allegedly went to people who were already deceased. 35:30 New data shows Bible sales in the United States are booming, with double-digit growth two years in a row, and that's a Bright Spot. The resurgence isn’t limited to Bible sales alone. Church attendance is rising, especially among young people, with Catholic parishes seeing growth even in major cities like New York—places long declared spiritually dead by the secular elite. Add in the historic election of the first American pope, and the signs of a broader faith revival are hard to miss. 39:30 Here’s something that stopped us in our tracks: Charlie Kirk was the most searched name in the world in 2025. Not just in the United States—globally. More than any other news story, more than any other headline, Charlie Kirk topped Google search inquiries worldwide. 41:00 And we finish off today's episode with the most popular New Year's resolutions.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 29, 2025. 0:30 The Trump administration is making it clear that nothing is off the table — including student loans. After years of COVID-era pauses and repeated promises of mass loan forgiveness under Democrats, the Department of Education is restarting enforcement in a big way. Beginning January 7, 2026, borrowers who have been in default for at least 270 days will start receiving wage-garnishment notices, with up to 15% of their pay withheld after a mandatory 30-day warning period. This move is about restoring accountability after Washington trained millions of borrowers to believe student loans would never have to be repaid. Federal control of student lending exploded college costs, trapped borrowers in debt they can’t discharge through bankruptcy, and unfairly shifted the burden onto taxpayers — especially working-class Americans who paid their loans responsibly, chose cheaper schools, or skipped college entirely. Critics warn it could anger some young voters, but others see it as long-overdue fairness: if you borrowed the money, you repay it. The larger message is unmistakable — consequences are back, and the federal government may finally be stepping out of the student loan business altogether. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US struck a Venezuelan port over the weekend. The department of Justice says the suspect in the attempted bombings of both the Republican and Democratic National Headquarters in Washington D.C. on January 5th, 2021 has confessed. California has dropped its lawsuit against the Trump Administration for pulling funding from it's high speed train project. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 An independent journalist’s reporting is putting a harsh spotlight on staggering incompetence and massive fraud inside Minnesota’s daycare subsidy system. YouTuber Nick Shirley released video showing dozens of state-funded daycare centers, primarily in Minneapolis’ Somali community, that are allegedly being paid to care for large numbers of children, in some cases as many as 95 per location, despite no children being visible on site. If accurate, the scale of the alleged fraud could total hundreds of millions of dollars. While some aspects of Shirley’s approach have drawn criticism for being overly sensational, the core reporting raises serious questions the state has yet to answer. Locked doors, blacked-out windows, and empty facilities don’t automatically prove wrongdoing, but the absence of clear evidence that these centers are operating as claimed is alarming. Compounding the issue is Governor Tim Walz’s shifting response — initially dismissing calls for scrutiny as racist, only for his office later to claim the state has been investigating the issue for years. The contradiction fuels concerns that political defensiveness, rather than transparency, has defined Minnesota’s handling of the situation. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a timeless and uncomfortable question: do people ever really grow out of being bullies? Drawing from personal experience, the Mamas reflect on how bullying doesn’t always disappear with age — it often just changes form. From middle school hallways to college campuses and even retirement communities, the same cliques, cruelty, and power plays can resurface decades later. The conversation explores the difference between “mean girls” and true bullying, and how time and perspective can turn anger into compassion — especially for those who do the work to grow and evolve.

Agents raised concerns about the legality and optics of the raid, yet those objections were dismissed in a single-minded effort to “get Trump,” regardless of constitutional limits or institutional damage. 26:30 We Dig Deep into new data that challenges a long-standing talking point on the left about illegal immigrant crime. According to a New York Post column by Dr. John Lott Jr., Department of Homeland Security data shows that illegal immigrants make up roughly 14 percent of those incarcerated in New York—despite representing only a small fraction of the state’s population. That translates to conviction rates nearly three times higher than those of native New Yorkers, including serious violent and sexual offenses. Lax border enforcement sends a dangerous message that the law is optional—starting at the border and spreading everywhere else. Sanctuary policies shield criminals from ICE, driving up crime and forcing taxpayers to absorb massive costs for incarceration, healthcare, and welfare support. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Activist groups are calling on AT&T to cut ties with federal agencies like DHS, ICE, and Customs and Border Protection, as if enforcing immigration law is a moral crime. These pressure campaigns have real-world consequences. AT&T has worked with the federal government for decades and severing those contracts would likely cost American jobs with no effect on immigration enforcement itself. 36:00 New research links the decline of religious participation in the United States to a rise in what researchers call “deaths of despair,” including suicides, drug overdoses, and alcohol-related disease. According to a study published in the Journal of the European Economic Association, these troubling mortality trends began increasing in the early 1990s, following a measurable drop in faith and religious engagement. Practices tied to religion—such as prayer, meditation, moral reflection, and community worship—help strengthen emotional regulation, resilience, and a sense of meaning. When those practices fade, they are often replaced by substitutes that offer stimulation without purpose, distraction without fulfillment, or treatment without addressing the deeper spiritual void. Faith is more than preparation for the next life. It is a source of comfort, connection, and stability in this one, and that's a Bright Spot. 39:30 We break down Nancy Pelosi’s decision to tear up President Trump’s State of the Union address. The act was not merely a political jab at Trump, but a direct insult to the institution of the presidency, Congress, and the American people. 41:30 And we finish off with a record-breaking kiss under the mistletoe that will make you say, "Whoa!"

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 19, 2025. 0:30 Red state attorneys general are taking on Big Tech in a major fight to protect children online, as Tennessee joins Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, and South Carolina in a lawsuit against Roblox. The states accuse the gaming platform of misleading parents and failing to stop child predators from exploiting kids through in-game chats and messages. The message is clear: the government’s first duty is to defend life and protect the most vulnerable, and when tech companies won’t police themselves, leaders must step in. This is shaping up to be a defining battle over child safety, online gaming, and accountability in Big Tech. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Shreveport City Council approved a new data center project in the city. The City of New Orleans is requesting the Federal Government to send in more law enforcement officers for New Year's Eve. Police in Kenner arrested an illegal immigrant preacher and charged him with sexual battery of a 10 year old child. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

It’s not just the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, but his ties to the rich and powerful — from presidents to princes — that have people demanding answers. The conversation turns to accountability, justice, and whether elites keep getting a pass while everyday Americans pay the price. With big names, dark questions, and growing distrust in the system, the fight for truth about the Epstein documents is far from over. 16:00 It’s time for American Mamas, and they’re sounding off on one big holiday question: company Christmas parties — love them or hate them? Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson share hilarious stories about forced small talk, cocktail hours, introvert vs. extrovert personalities, and why some folks would rather sit in the corner than mingle.

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 Trump Derangement Syndrome, asking if there’s really a cure — and pointing to facts, reason, and real-world wake-up calls as the answer. From media stories to Mitt Romney’s latest warnings, the conversation shifts into Social Security reform, fear-mongering, and what’s really at stake for American seniors. It’s a fiery, fast-paced segment on TDS, politics, and the future of Social Security you won’t want to miss. 26:00 We Dig Deep into a Washington Post column urging Democrats to “Make America Minnesota,” then put that claim to the test with hard data. Looking at fertility rates, population trends, and family affordability, we see that red states vs. blue states tell a very different story about where families are actually growing and thriving. From Tim Walz and Kamala Harris to taxes, marriage, and cost of living, it’s a data-driven debate over which policies really support American families and children. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

From election integrity, ICE and Ilhan Omar to gold card immigration permits and government-sponsored suicide in Canada, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 40:00 The hour wraps with news out of Florida, where a federal appeals court greenlights a law blocking children from attending sexually explicit drag shows — a win for parents, common sense, and child safety in today’s culture wars.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 23, 2025. 0:30 We react to a 6–3 Supreme Court ruling blocking the president from deploying the National Guard to protect federal officers and property in Chicago — at least for now. We dig into the shadow docket ruling, sharp dissents from Justices Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch, and what this means for sanctuary cities nationwide. Is this a narrow procedural pause, or a dangerous precedent that weakens federal authority? This decision raises serious questions about executive power, immigration enforcement, and whether the Constitution now bends to sanctuary politics. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US economy grew at an impressive 4.3% in the third quarter of this year according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. President Trump is tripling the self-deportation bonus for illegal immigrants through the end of the year. Former Republican Senator Ben Sasse announced he has pancreatic cancer. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

We break down ICE’s nationwide enforcement push, including a $3,000 self-deportation incentive and paid airfare for illegal immigrants — and ask whether using Santa Claus crosses a cultural line. While acknowledging the legality of enforcement and self-deportation efforts, we question the optics, the use of AI over real artists, and the impact on children who associate Santa with Christmas, not immigration raids. Is this tough-but-fair messaging, or a step too far that politicizes a holiday icon? 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson how they are celebrating Christmas this year. A heartfelt Christmas conversation with the American Mamas turns reflective as traditions, faith, and culture collide. From decorating habits and post-Christmas takedowns to honoring family traditions like a beloved Christmas soup party, the discussion quickly moves beyond schedules and decorations. We dive into growing nostalgia for “old-fashioned” Christmas, concerns about cultural and spiritual erosion, and a shared sense that faith itself is under pressure. As fewer Americans attend church but still celebrate Christmas, the Mamas explore whether a spiritual awakening is underway — and why more people are speaking openly about Christian values again. It’s a timely, emotional look at Christmas not just as a holiday, but as a cultural and spiritual battleground.

County officials have admitted that more than 315,000 ballots were counted without legally required signatures, despite Georgia law mandating them. With the presidential race in Georgia decided by roughly 11,000 votes and Fulton County overwhelmingly favoring Joe Biden, the numbers alone demand serious scrutiny. We compare this revelation to similar disputes in Pennsylvania and Arizona, question past Supreme Court rulings on standing, and contend that if the political roles were reversed, the media response would be deafening. Instead, the story is being buried because it challenges an outcome that was already deemed settled. 26:30 Early 2028 presidential buzz is already heating up, and a new straw poll is sending a clear message about where conservative voters are leaning. At Turning Point USA, JD Vance didn’t just win — he dominated, pulling in an overwhelming share of the vote and leaving every other potential contender in the dust. The margin was so lopsided it raised eyebrows even among seasoned political watchers, especially this far out from an election. We Dig Deep into what that landslide says about the future of the Republican Party, Donald Trump’s continued influence, and why candidates who don’t align with an America First tone may be effectively shut out. On the Democrat side, the picture looks far less settled, with shaky polling, internal contradictions, and big-name contenders facing tough questions about leadership, competence, and vision. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A rare dose of real accountability out of California? A new Los Angeles Times investigation is raising serious questions about how the Los Angeles Fire Department handled — and then quietly rewrote — its own after-action report following the devastating Palisades fire. According to the report, key details that reflected poorly on leadership and preparedness were stripped out, softened, or renamed before the public ever saw them. 36:00 We have a Bright Spot coming out of California and it's a major win for parents' rights and common sense. A court has struck down a controversial state policy that allowed teachers and school administrators to socially transition students at school — including changing names and pronouns — without informing parents. The ruling came after two California teachers, joined by parents and the Thomas More Society, sued the state, arguing the policy violated both their religious convictions and long-standing parental authority. 40:00 Just days before Christmas, the Trump administration is moving aggressively to crack down on fraudulent asylum claims — and it’s sending shockwaves through the immigration system. ICE attorneys are now filing motions to dismiss thousands of pending asylum cases without hearings, following a new directive that forces immigration judges to rule on third-country eligibility before asylum claims are even heard. The burden has officially shifted to asylum seekers to prove their claims are legitimate, a major change after years of overwhelming evidence showing most claims lacked merit. With as many as 85–95% of asylum applications previously found to be bogus, the administration is zeroing in on cases from countries like Iran, Nicaragua, and Russia. 41:30 And we finish off with the first White House Christmas.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 22, 2025. 0:30 Immigration, assimilation, and the American Dream. We break down why equal opportunity — not equal outcomes — has always been at the heart of American success, and why past waves of immigrants embraced shared values to build a common culture. We turn to Vice President JD Vance’s warning about Europe’s immigration crisis, cultural division, and security fears in cities like Paris, and ask whether the United States is heading down the same path. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US seized another oil tanker leaving Venezuela over the weekend. Over the weekend, a dump of Epstein files was released to the public. The Delaware Supreme Court ruled that Elon musk is indeed entitled to the largest compensation package for a CEO in world history. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 President Trump made a surprise announcement to build a new “Trump Class” battleship for the U.S. Navy — and it’s already sending the left into a frenzy. We dive into what this could mean for America’s military strength as China ramps up its naval power, and whether battleships could make a comeback in modern warfare. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to a hilarious story involving Conan O’Brien, Will Arnett, and Jason Bateman — and a running joke about grief, friendship, and irreverent humor. The conversation explores how laughter can be a powerful way to cope with loss, even in the middle of heartbreak. From sharing personal family stories to debating why Hollywood comedians on the left embrace edgy humor — until it comes from conservatives — the segment dives into comedy, culture, and double standards in political humor. It’s a heartfelt and funny look at how humor connects people, celebrates life, and keeps friendships strong, even during the toughest times. 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 break down President Trump’s pro-life legacy, the future of abortion policy after Roe v. Wade, and what it really means to stand for the sanctity of life. From states’ rights and constitutional limits on federal power to supporting single mothers, adoption, foster care, and post-abortion counseling, being pro-life must go beyond just opposing abortion. Republicans should defend life at every stage — and make compassion, not just legislation, the heart of the pro-life message. 26:00 We Dig Deep into Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd and his Newsmax appearance, where he claimed Americans don’t trust the media because they don’t trust “the experts.” But the real crisis is media credibility — not public ignorance. From COVID coverage and government messaging to questions about President Biden’s mental fitness and climate change debates legacy media treated experts like gospel, dismissed dissent, and labeled skeptics as conspiracy theorists. The result? A collapse of trust in journalism and mainstream news. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 New York City mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani, isn't just a Democrat — but an outright socialist poised to take control of America’s largest city. With Mamdani set to be sworn in by Bernie Sanders and New York Attorney General Letitia James, the symbolism couldn’t be clearer. From AOC and Bernie Sanders to politicized justice and government overreach, Mamdani’s rise is a warning sign for where the Democratic Party — and America — could be headed next. 35:30 And we have a Bright Spot coming from Mullins, South Carolina where a private citizens group set out to give their downtown a Hallmark-style holiday makeover — complete with Santa, snowmen, and a nativity scene. But when the town’s mayor stepped in and asked for the nativity to be removed from public view, the fight was on. From free expression to accusations of intolerance toward Christians, this discussion raises a bigger question: does tolerance mean respecting traditions — or erasing them? 39:30 We dive into the legal battle over nativity scenes in public spaces. We break down the First Amendment and explain why the government cannot ban a nativity display simply because “someone might be offended.” While cities can enforce neutral rules on time, place, and manner, singling out a religious display is classic viewpoint discrimination — and courts consistently strike it down. 41:00 And we finish off with the first plane to safely land with Autoland.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 18, 2025. 0:30 We take on President Trump’s prime-time address from the White House. It wasn’t just a speech — it was a strategy session aimed straight at the 2026 midterms. We break down why Trump wanted to remind Americans of Republican wins, warn about what a Democrat takeover would mean for the country, and question whether results alone can win over voters who are still feeling the pinch at the grocery store. Was this a rallying cry for the base, or a message meant to sway the middle? We dig into what really came across. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Inflation dropped to 2.7% last month. The Republicans were able to pass their health reform plan out of the House of Representatives this week. President Trump lowered the classification on Marijuana today, reducing it from a Schedule I narcotic to a Schedule III narcotic. 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 Control of Congress could make or break Trump’s agenda, and Democrats are ramping up talk of impeachment yet again. The left is still obsessed with relitigating Trump, using impeachment as a political weapon to fire up their base, even as wages rise and prices ease under his administration. Is this about policy — or just about keeping anti-Trump outrage alive? 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson weigh in on what sounds like a big early signal for 2028: Marco Rubio saying he won’t run if JD Vance does. We talk about friendship, chemistry, and why a Vance–Rubio ticket could shake up the usual political playbook. Is this the start of a new GOP dream team — and real trouble for the left? 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 A shocking story out of Mississippi has us asking a simple question: whatever happened to decency? We react to a woman accused of hiding razor blades and fish hooks in loaves of bread at Walmart — and what it says about how far things have gone. It’s a disturbing reminder that there are still plenty of good people out there… but stories like this make you wonder where common sense went. 24:30 Writer Matt Holloway checks in from AmericaFest in Phoenix with a live report from Turning Point USA’s massive conservative conference. He describes record crowds, high energy, and a movement recommitting to the MAGA agenda after tragedy. With faith front and center, a packed lineup of speakers, and growing buzz around JD Vance and the 2026 midterms, this is grassroots conservatives fired up and ready to show their support. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Secretary of State Marco Rubio is making headlines for an unexpected culture clash at the State Department — banning the “woke” Calibri font and ordering diplomats back to Times New Roman. We react to Rubio’s crackdown, debating tradition, taxpayer costs, and what this says about the fight against woke culture in Washington, even down to the smallest details. 35:30 A new movie could be a bright spot at the box office — and it’s all about First Lady Melania Trump. Melania promises a rare behind-the-scenes look at her return to the White House, her role as a mom, and her influence during President Trump’s second inauguration. This could finally tell Melania Trump’s story in her own words, pushing back on the media narrative and spotlighting one of the most fascinating First Ladies in modern American politics. 39:30 President Trump just announced a major boost for the U.S. military — a $1,776 “warrior dividend” for more than 1.4 million service members. It's a reward for troops who went unpaid during the Democrats’ government shutdown and a reminder of the importance of valuing those who risk their lives for the nation. It’s a politically smart move and a show of support for the men and women in uniform that’s resonating across the country. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with the Grandma Stand in Mckinney, Texas that is spreading wisdom and warmth.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 17, 2025. 0:30 Breaking news out of Washington: FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is set to leave the Bureau early next year — and while this isn’t a scandal, it is a moment worth watching. Bongino’s short tenure at the FBI raises real questions about leadership, culture, and whether outspoken media figures can thrive inside a process-heavy federal agency. We dive into why Bongino may be better suited for influence behind a microphone than inside the bureaucracy, what his exit signals for FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi, and how recent FBI wins and missteps factor into the bigger picture. 9:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump has ordered a Naval blockade of Venezuela. Four Republican broke from their party to force a house vote on extending Democrat designed subsidies for the Democrat designed Affordable Care Act. Republican Congressman Dan Newhouse is not seeking reelection to Congress next year. 11:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 12:00 A new YouGov poll exposes a sharp political divide on immigration — and the numbers are hard to ignore. Only 17 percent of Democrats say legal immigration should be reduced, compared to 66 percent of Republicans who want it cut back or ended altogether. We dig into what those numbers really mean, the difference between legal and illegal immigration, and why border enforcement has become a breaking point even for many Democrats after the Biden administration’s failures. 15:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson take on the controversy surrounding Trump Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and her decision to sit down with Vanity Fair — and why many conservatives see it as a major miscalculation. We break down how a year-long interview turned into headline-grabbing quotes about Trump, JD Vance, and the White House inner circle, how off-the-record trust was allegedly weaponized, and why legacy media outlets are viewed as hostile territory for Republicans. The Mamas also unpack media bias, selective framing, and the broader lesson about walking into the “lion’s den” of left-leaning press — even when you think you’re being careful. 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. 22:00 We dive into reports of new plaques placed beneath presidential portraits in the White House — and the controversy they’ve sparked. Do these bronze plaques represent historical record or political trolling? And where the line is between blunt truth-telling and misuse of taxpayer dollars? We discuss President Trump’s unapologetic style, the difference between opinion and history, and whether America’s obsession with politeness has replaced honest evaluation of past presidents. 25:30 We Dig Deep into the nation’s largest teachers union after reports that the NEA is promoting so-called “neo-pronouns” and “zeo-pronouns” in teacher training sessions. This isn’t education reform — it’s ideological activism replacing basic grammar, clarity, and classroom priorities. We question why unions are focusing on made-up language and identity politics instead of improving student outcomes, and warning that redefining words isn’t about communication but control. 31:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 31:30 We break down President Trump's prime-time address, and it's a deliberate moment of leadership where he plans to highlight his administration’s accomplishments and preview what he calls America’s “golden age.” Speaking directly to the nation on major networks still matters, even in an era dominated by social media. 34:00 And we have a Bright Spot from Florida, where the state can now enforce a ban on sexually explicit drag performances in front of minors. It's a long-overdue correction, and should never have been treated as protected speech when children were involved. We break down court battle that led to the decision, the narrow exception that still exists, and the broader cultural fight over bringing adult performance art into kids’ spaces like libraries and classrooms. This isn’t about censoring adults, it's about drawing a clear line between free speech and exposing children to sexualized content — a line that should have never been blurred in the first place. 38:30 In Texas, Republican Senate candidate Wesley Hunt is pushing a proposal to block education benefits for illegal immigrants — a move that's long overdue. With millions of illegal immigrants already in the country, full deportation isn’t realistic. Self-deportation was always part of the strategy. By cutting off benefits like public education, families will choose to leave on their own. It's a tough, controversial approach — but one that finally confronts why illegal immigration persists in the first place. 40:30 And we finish off today’s show with a little tech history that quietly reshaped the modern world. On this day in 1994, Netscape Navigator 1.0 hit the market and opened the door for everyday people to actually use the internet. Long before Chrome, Safari, or Firefox, Netscape was how the web worked — the browser that made surfing possible and set the standard for everything that followed.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 16, 2025. 0:30 A comment on The View is lighting up the airwaves — and not in a good way. We break down Whoopi Goldberg's comment that a dog would do a better job running the FBI than Director Kash Patel. But while the insult makes headlines, the facts tell a very different story. Under Patel’s leadership, the FBI has disrupted terror plots, stopped bomb threats, and arrested top fugitives — results critics conveniently ignore. This isn’t just about a Trump appointee or a TV soundbite. It’s about media figures undermining public trust in federal law enforcement at a moment of real national security threats — and replacing serious debate with cheap insults. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. According to the latest numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of jobs in the United States rose by 64,000 positions last month. President Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC for deceptively editing his speech from January 6, 2021. Judge Hannah Dugan, who allegedly tried to help an illegal alien avoid being arrested and deported by ICE, is on trial herself this week after she was charged with obstruction. 13:00 Phil Mickelson isn’t backing down — and his latest comments on gun control are setting off alarms around the world. After the deadly Bondi Beach attack in Australia, the golf legend pointed out an uncomfortable truth: the terrorists didn’t seem remotely hindered by some of the strictest gun laws on the planet. In countries where law-abiding citizens are disarmed, criminals and extremists know exactly who won’t be shooting back. The conversation cuts through the familiar calls for “more laws” and asks the harder question — why do politicians keep blaming legal gun owners when violent criminals ignore the law entirely? 16:00 We ask the American Mamas what they think about Erika Kirk's meeting with Candace Owens. Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow, sat down privately with Candace Owens after claims and speculation threatened to fracture the conservative movement during a moment of national mourning. With no cameras, no microphones, and no social media theatrics, the two women chose conversation over chaos. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on why the meeting mattered, how unchecked speculation can poison unity, and why resolving conflict face-to-face may be the only way to stop grief from being weaponized. 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. 22:30 Cheap gas isn’t just a talking point — it’s a pay raise, especially for working families living paycheck to paycheck. We break down why lower gas prices hit far beyond the pump, driving down grocery costs, transportation expenses, and overall inflation. When fuel gets cheaper, everything gets cheaper — and the people who feel it most are the poorest Americans. With GasBuddy projecting sub-$3 gas prices for Christmas Day, the conversation turns to energy policy, economic relief, and why “drill, baby, drill” is being framed as compassion, not politics. 26:00 Republicans are finally putting a healthcare alternative on the table — 15 years after Obamacare, but better late than never. We Dig Deep into the GOP’s new “Lower Healthcare Premiums for All Americans Act,” what it claims to fix, and why no one should expect a miracle. From soaring premiums and broken Obamacare promises to patient choice, small-business relief, and cutting red tape, the conversation centers on whether this plan can actually move the system in a better direction. It’s a hard look at healthcare reform, government control versus freedom, and why real healthcare isn’t delivered by Washington — it’s delivered between doctors and patients. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A brutal attack in a Savannah public park leaves a woman with third-degree burns — and the mayor’s response is sparking outrage. We react to a shocking chemical assault at Forsyth Park, the victim’s ongoing recovery, and a moment from city leadership that many are calling cold, dismissive, and indefensible. Instead of compassion or accountability, the mayor’s remarks raise serious questions about leadership, public safety, and basic human decency. 35:30 Education freedom is gaining momentum — and it may be one of the real bright spots in the national conversation. We break down what “education freedom” actually means, why it matters to working families, and why support is growing across the country. From open enrollment and school choice to education savings accounts and tax credits, the discussion cuts through the buzzwords and gets to the core issue: parents having real control over how and where their children are educated. 39:30 Buy now, pay later sounds convenient — but is it quietly training Americans to spend money they don’t actually have? We dig into the rise of “split payment” apps and why turning everyday purchases into installment plans may be more dangerous than credit cards. It’s a conversation about debt, discipline, and how removing the “pain of paying” can lead to overspending — exactly as the companies behind it intend. Just because you can break a purchase into payments doesn’t mean you should. 41:30 And we finish off today’s show with a reminder that American resistance didn’t begin in a courtroom — it began in a harbor. On this day in history, the Boston Tea Party marked a turning point in the fight against taxation without representation, as ordinary colonists took an extraordinary stand against government overreach. Disguised, defiant, and determined, the Sons of Liberty sent a clear message to Parliament that freedom would not be negotiated quietly.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 15, 2025. 0:30 According to a new analysis from Fair Fight Action and the Black Voters Matter Fund, Republicans could gain nearly 200 state legislative seats across the South if the Supreme Court limits how Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is used. These openly left-wing activist groups, and their warning isn’t really about voting rights — it’s about political power. At the center of the debate is racial gerrymandering: the decades-long practice of drawing “minority-majority” districts based explicitly on race. What was once justified as a remedy for Jim Crow has evolved into court-mandated racial mapmaking that treats voters as demographic categories instead of citizens. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The FBI arrested four people and charged them with planning a New Year's Eve bombing plot in California. The FBI and local law enforcement are still looking for the person responsible for murdering 2 students at Brown University and injuring 9 others. Producer, Director, and Actor Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Reiner were murdered in their home over the weekend. 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 We break down the horrific attack at Bondi Beach in Australia, where Jewish families celebrating Hanukkah were brutally murdered in an Islamist extremist attack carried out by a father and son. It was not random violence — it was targeted, ideological, and devastating. And the attack wasn't stopped by police or by armed citizens— because Australians aren’t allowed to be armed — but by an unarmed man who tackled the attacker, wrestled the gun away, and held him until authorities arrived. A good guy stopped a bad guy, but he had to do it with his bare hands and risk his life because the law left him defenseless. 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about their reation to the murder of Rob Reiner. The Mamas remember Reiner for his legacy in film— When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, Sleepless in Seattle — movies they love and will always watch. They may disagree with his politics, but that never erased his talent or his contribuitons to culture. When news broke that he and his wife were killed — allegedly by their own son — the reaction was immediate sorrow. Devastation for the family. Incomprehension at the tragedy. conservatives are not celebrating this death. There will be no jokes, no parties, no costumes. Just grief — and restraint. Whatever Rob Reiner said in life, whatever political lines he crossed, his death — especially in such a horrific, personal way — should not be politicized. 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 Is Kamala Harris really gearing up for another run at the White House? The rumors are suddenly everywhere — and the timing is… interesting. With weak book sales and a forgettable book tour, some are wondering whether this is about a campaign or just a publicity reset. We break down why Harris is still being floated as a top Democrat, what that says about the party’s bench, and why names like Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsom keep popping up despite failing to connect where it matters most. 25:30 A new Gallup poll on health care is out — and not surprisingly, Democrats are already waving it around again. But when you actually look at the numbers, it raises a bigger question: after all these years and all these promises, why does health care feel worse, not better? We break down what Americans say is broken, why costs keep climbing, and how a system no one really understands keeps getting more complicated — and more expensive. And we take aim at the growing belief that health care is a “right,” and what that assumption means for government power, personal responsibility, and freedom. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Ford just learned a $20-billion lesson — and it has nothing to do with engineering and everything to do with politics. We dig into Ford’s massive EV write-off and why the company is backing away from electric vehicle production after bleeding billions. The conversation zeroes in on a familiar pattern: corporations chasing government mandates instead of consumer demand — and paying the price when the market refuses to cooperate. 35:30 Eighteen states are drawing a line on SNAP benefits — and it’s overdue. We break down why a program meant to supplement nutrition drifted into subsidizing junk food, and why limiting candy and soda isn’t an attack on the poor, but a return to the program’s original purpose. The conversation highlights an unexpected twist: this push isn’t just red states — it’s bipartisan. At a time when food assistance and healthcare costs collide, this is a rare bright spot where common sense might finally be winning out. 39:30 The threat isn’t just overseas — it’s here at home. When Jewish communities are targeted, they argue, it’s not just an attack on one faith — it’s an attack on the Judeo-Christian values that underpin the West itself. This isn’t isolated, and it isn’t accidental — and it’s time to say whoa. 41:30 America’s getting a birthday makeover — and it fits in your pocket. The U.S. Mint is rolling out a special series of coins to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary, with designs honoring America’s founding, its leaders, and the ideas that built the country. It’s a one-year-only run, meant to celebrate where we started and why it still matters. A small reminder of a big history — and a little patriotism you might get back in your change.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 12, 2025. 0:30 We dig into new FBI data showing that California led the nation in active shooter incidents from 2020 to 2024 — 25 incidents, more than any other state — and the irony is impossible to ignore. This is the same state with the most aggressive gun control regime in the country: assault weapon bans, magazine limits, waiting periods, registration, red flag laws, ammo restrictions, carry permit mandates — layers upon layers of regulation. If gun control worked the way it’s sold emotionally and rhetorically, California should be the safest state in America. It’s not. That’s the core question they keep coming back to: why doesn’t gun control work where it exists the most? The answer is uncomfortable for the left. Laws don’t stop criminals. They only restrict law-abiding citizens. Shooters don’t follow magazine limits, don’t wait ten days, don’t register firearms, and don’t ask permission. California’s system controls one group of people — responsible citizens — while leaving violent criminals untouched. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US trade deficit dropped to the lowest level in five years.That's according to data released by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis. Half of the commercial drivers licenses issued in the state of New York to foreign workers were issued illegally. The Leader of Black Lives Matter in Oklahoma has been arrested for embezzling $3.15 million. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

We reflect on how some tragedies are so overwhelming, so senseless, that the only human response is to ask “why.” And they point to the assassination of Charlie Kirk as one of those moments — a young man devoted to ideas, speech, and persuasion, taken suddenly, leaving behind a family and a nation trying to make sense of it. 15:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a listener question that hits a nerve for a lot of people: what do you do when you’re in your late 50s, you know you still have something to offer — but you don’t feel a clear passion anymore? The Mamas talk about how passion isn’t always something you “figure out” in advance. Sometimes it finds you. Sometimes it only makes sense in hindsight. They reflect on how certain seasons — raising children, leading nonprofits, stepping into unexpected roles — demand everything you have, and when they end, it can feel disorienting. But that doesn’t mean you’re empty. It means you’re available.

While no one defends theft, the discussion makes a clear distinction between protecting property and using deadly force. Gun rights come with limits, and firing at someone who is fleeing raises serious legal and moral questions. Exercising a right irresponsibly only undermines the right itself. 26:30 We move on to Maryland, where lawmakers are considering a $25-an-hour minimum wage — a move activists are calling “survival,” not radical. But survival for whom? We break down what a $25 minimum wage actually means for employers, especially small businesses, and why economists warn it could lock people out of the workforce entirely. When the first rung on the ladder costs $52,000 a year, employers stop taking chances — and the people shut out first are young workers with no experience. California is a real-time case study: higher mandated wages, fewer jobs, more automation, and young people locked out of entry-level work altogether. The conclusion is blunt — every time government raises the minimum wage, someone becomes unemployable by law. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

But this is also vintage Trump. Because this isn’t just about hockey — it’s about symbolism. Forty-five years later, Trump is reminding the world, and especially Moscow, of what happened at Lake Placid. At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union rolled out a fully funded, state-run, professional team designed to showcase the superiority of communism. And they lost — on live television — to a bunch of American college kids playing for pride. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From death threats against Marjorie Taylor Greene and suspected terrorists, to tech company taxes, Nigerian prince scams, and even criminals "too handsome" to stand trial, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We reacted to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signing legislation legalizing assisted suicide for terminally ill patients, making Illinois the 12th state to do so. While supporters frame it as “compassion,” this argument has already played out elsewhere — most notably in Canada — and the results are chilling. 41:30 And we end today's show with some words of wisdom about work.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 11, 2025. 0:30 Today we take a look at yet another glaring example of two-tier justice in America — after a federal grand jury in Virginia declined, for the second time, to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage fraud allegations. We walk through how James built her entire political brand on accusing Donald Trump and his family of fraud, running explicitly on the promise to “get Trump.” But when she herself is accused of misrepresenting property information to secure financial benefits, the legal system suddenly hesitates. Standards soften. Intent becomes “unclear.” Evidence is “open to interpretation.” 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Bureau of Labor Statistics release a report this week saying that for the fifth straight month, increases in wages have outpaced inflation. The House of Representatives passed the Defense Authorization Act. The court fight over Illegal alien and alleged human trafficker Kilmar Abrego-Garcia continues. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

After scrapping third-party fact checkers and the COVID-era censorship apparatus, Meta suddenly says it’s doing better. But were these simple “mistakes" or intentional acts of censorship, carried out under pressure from the Biden administration, where true information was labeled misinformation and users were silenced on purpose? Call it enforcement if you want — just don’t call it accidental. 15:30 American Mamas Teri Nettervile and Kimberly Burelson tackle a question that hits a cultural nerve: should a woman ever propose to a man — especially if he hasn’t done it himself? Using a viral video of a woman proposing after 14 years of dating as the jumping-off point, the conversation turns blunt, emotional, and unapologetically traditional. Their take is clear: if a man hasn’t proposed after years together, it’s not hesitation — it’s a decision. They argue that public proposals by women often flip natural dynamics, leaving the woman looking desperate and the man embarrassed, and point out that nearly every example online shows visible discomfort rather than romance.

Records show tens of thousands of donor dollars spent in Puerto Rico on luxury venues and high-end accommodations, all framed as “social justice.” 26:00 We break down the strategic showdown unfolding in the Caribbean — and it’s not an invasion, it’s pressure. Despite media speculation about war with Venezuela, Trump is doing the opposite of Iraq-style nation-building, opting instead for maximum force short of boots on the ground. From drug boats being seized and destroyed on the high seas to a sanctioned Venezuelan oil tanker taken by U.S. forces, this is a deliberate chokehold on Maduro’s funding streams. Drug trafficking, illegal oil shipments, shadow fleets — all of it bankrolls a corrupt regime propped up by repression and bribes. Cut the money, and the regime collapses from the inside. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We revisit a once-dominant figure in late-night television and argue that David Letterman’s legacy has curdled with age. Wewalk through his cultural importance — the post-Carson era, the Letterman-Leno wars, and how an entire generation grew up on his humor — before contrasting that version of Letterman with the man who recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel. 35:30 We zeroe in on Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s Senate run in Texas and what we see as a self-inflicted implosion. Wewith her on-air claim that Democrats don’t incite violence — daring anyone to find clips proving otherwise — and argue she dramatically underestimated how easy that challenge would be. Enter the RNC, which responds with a rapid-fire montage of prominent Democrats using explicitly violent rhetoric, from calls for unrest in the streets to threats of physical harm. It's a brutal receipts moment, made worse when the compilation turns back on Crockett herself, highlighting multiple clips of her talking about punching opponents, knocking people out, and “beating you down.” 39:30 Gavin Newsom released an AI-generated video depicting President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and senior White House official Stephen Miller in handcuffs under the caption “It’s cuffing season.” This isn’t satire or clever political mockery — it’s outright disrespect from a sitting governor toward the commander in chief, with no explanation of what crime is supposedly being implied. And we're saying, "Whoa." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 10, 2025. 0:30 We break down a constitutional clash unfolding in California that’s turning into a full-on spectacle. After a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to stop deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles — effectively handing control back to Governor Gavin Newsom —we dig into why something that should be straightforward has spiraled into a legal and political firestorm. From the judge positioning himself as the ultimate authority, to the governor sidestepping federal power, to the administration pointing directly to the Constitution’s text, it’s clear no one agrees on who’s actually in charge. The Constitution says the president commands the Guard when it’s federalized, states insist on their autonomy, and now the judiciary is trying to referee a fight it was never meant to enter. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Voters in Miami elected Democrat Eileen Higgins to be the next mayor of that city. Democrats in the House of Representatives have filed articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. and Sec. of War Pete Hegseth. The Federal Reserve voted to lower interest rates again today. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We dig into a revealing moment in Texas politics — Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett launching a Senate run while dramatically misreading the state she wants to win. After citing questionable demographic statistics and insisting Texas is “61% people of color,” the conversation unpacks how the left selectively redefines racial categories to fit political narratives, and why the entire “person of color” framing has become more performative than meaningful. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a deceptively simple listener question with surprisingly deep cultural roots: what’s your opinion on stay-at-home dads? What starts as a lighthearted conversation quickly opens up into a bigger debate about masculinity, work ethic, and the expectations men and women now bring into modern family life. After reacting to a viral video featuring a husband who refuses to work while his wife juggles multiple jobs, the Mamas unpack why this hit such a nerve. Is it the fallout of the “toxic masculinity” narrative? The rise of soft men who avoid responsibility? Or a cultural moment that tells women they don’t need men while simultaneously expecting men to still be protectors, providers, and anchors in the home? The conversation touches on everything from the decline of physical labor, to generational softness shaped by gaming culture, to the instinctive drive many men feel to defend their families the moment they become fathers.

After new reports show that eight in ten Somali refugee households in Minneapolis rely on welfare, we unpack what this means for taxpayers, for the state’s political landscape, and for the country as a whole. 26:00 We dive into a jaw-dropping youth football scandal that quickly turns into a much bigger conversation about culture, accountability, and what happens when adults stop teaching kids right from wrong. After eight players from a Philadelphia U14 team were arrested in Florida for trying to steal nearly $2,300 worth of merchandise from a Dick’s Sporting Goods, the story took an even stranger turn — their own coach begged deputies to let them go. We unpack the surveillance footage, the attempted shoplifting spree, and the boys’ apparent expectation that nothing would happen to them — an expectation shaped by what’s become normal in cities with lax enforcement. We compare Sheriff Grady Judd’s firm response in Polk County to the hands-off approach often seen in places like Philadelphia, exploring how wildly different attitudes toward crime create wildly different outcomes. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down a high-stakes international showdown involving an oil tanker, U.S. national security, and Donald Trump’s latest move against the cartels. After the United States seized its largest Venezuelan tanker ever, we unpack why this wasn’t just a maritime paperwork dispute — it was part of a sprawling illicit network that, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi, was helping fund foreign terrorist organizations. 35:30 We cover a Bright Spot out of Texas Tech University, where the battle over woke ideology is finally hitting a real turning point. After years of DEI dogma creeping into classrooms—even out in West Texas—the state cracked down, banning DEI, white-privilege instruction, and ideology-based prejudice by law. And now Texas Tech has a chancellor who actually intends to enforce it: Brandon Creighton, the very lawmaker who wrote the anti-DEI legislation in the first place. 39:30 We tackle one of the wildest twists in Trump-era immigration policy yet: the rollout of the Trump Gold Card—a fast-track residency program with a price tag big enough to make a tech billionaire blink. After joking about never getting credit card offers anymore, they dive into Trump’s new three-tiered system that essentially says: if you want into America quickly, you can pay for the privilege. 41:00 And we finish off with a Christmas delivery that will make you say, "Whoa!"

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 10, 2025. 0:30 We dig into what might be the political and economic turning point of our generation — the moment tariffs go from heresy to orthodoxy inside the Republican Party. For decades, the conservative establishment worshiped at the altar of free trade. Tariffs were the villain, protectionism was a dirty word, and anyone who questioned NAFTA got sent to the kids’ table. Not anymore. With new polling showing a full revolt inside the GOP — two-thirds of Republicans now wanting tariffs kept where they are or pushed even higher — we break down how Trump didn’t just shift the debate… he blew up the old economic playbook entirely. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The ban on transgender members of the US Military is constitutional. That's the ruling of the US Appeals court for the District of Columbia. 12 fired FBI agents are suing the Trump Administration to get their jobs back. Two courts have now agreed to unseal several documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We break down a move from the Trump administration that has the media scrambling for cover: a brand-new public database from DHS called WOW — Worst of the Worst — a tool that finally exposes what legacy outlets have spent years trying to bury. For the first time, any American can pull up the rap sheets of criminal illegal aliens arrested and removed by ICE, cutting straight through the spin, the soft-pedaled headlines, and the endless attempts to pretend this problem doesn’t exist. We get into why the rollout is brilliant, how it undercuts the press narrative that ICE “only” targets harmless offenders, and why transparency like this terrifies the same institutions that have been whitewashing the consequences of illegal immigration for decades. But we also ask the tough question: if the media refuses to cover it, and most Americans never see it, how far does a database like this really go? 16:00 Today the American Mamas take on a question that hits every family sooner or later — and hits hard: What’s tougher? Losing a parent suddenly, or watching them fade slowly over time? It’s one of those raw, real-life dilemmas that doesn’t have an easy answer, but Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson go straight into it with honesty, humor, and the kind of lived experience you only get the hard way. From the shock of quick goodbyes to the long heartbreak of Alzheimer’s, from feeling helpless when distance keeps you away to witnessing the moment a parent realizes their body can’t do what their mind still thinks it can — the Mamas walk through the pain, the gratitude, the guilt, the grace, and even the unexpected moments of laughter that come with loving someone through their final chapter. 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 get into a rare kind of headline — a move from one of America’s top business leaders that cuts completely against the gloomy narrative we’re all used to hearing. Michael Dell and his wife are dropping an eye-popping $6 billion to help kids open savings accounts under the new Trump-era “Trump Accounts” program, a donation so massive it’s forcing people to rethink what private generosity can actually do. 26:00 We dig into a story out of Massachusetts that’s lighting up both the pews and the comment sections: a Catholic parish swapping the Christ child out of its nativity scene and replacing Him with a sign that reads “ICE was here.” It’s the latest attempt to turn the Gospel into a campaign billboard — and the blowback isn’t subtle. The Archbishop has ordered it taken down. The pastor is refusing. And the national debate over immigration has now landed squarely in the manger. We break down why the comparison itself collapses on contact with the facts — from the legal status of Mary and Joseph under Roman rule, to the census that brought them to Bethlehem, to the actual historical context of the Holy Family’s flight into Egypt. We walk through how this narrative twist isn’t just sloppy theology, but a deliberate bending of Scripture to score political points, and why that crosses a line the Church itself has long warned against. We get into what the Catechism really says about immigration, why order and legality are central Catholic teachings, and how misrepresenting the nativity story for modern activism turns sacred history into propaganda. And we ask the harder question: if religious leaders start rewriting the Gospel to fit the politics of the moment, what does that do to trust, to doctrine, and to the faithful who expect the truth from their shepherds? 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down a story out of the New York Times that perfectly illustrates the disconnect between political theater and actual accomplishment: Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly plans to have a marble bust of herself installed in the U.S. Capitol. We dive into the optics — a self-proclaimed historical figure immortalized in stone — and the reality behind the pomp. We explore the context of Harris’s claim, the timing of the interview, and the ongoing speculation about 2028. And we ask the bigger question: what does it say about leadership when a career politician’s “legacy” is measured by statues and media headlines rather than tangible policy achievements? 35:30 We take listeners down a rabbit hole most Americans never explore: state mottos. Every state has one — some even have two — and many date back centuries. We break down the surprising number of mottos that reference God, from Arizona’s “God enriches” to Ohio’s “With God all things are possible,” highlighting the enduring role of faith in the foundation of our states. We also explore mottos rooted in liberty and freedom: New Hampshire’s “Live Free or Die,” Massachusetts’ “By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty,” and Delaware’s “Liberty and Independence.” The discussion points to a broader principle: our rights don’t come from bureaucrats, governors, or Washington politicians — they come from Almighty God, the ultimate antidote to tyranny. 39:30 We cut straight to the point on a simple truth about America: if you’re not happy here, get out. Drawing from personal experience, we highlight the story of families who came to this country chasing the American dream — moving from poverty to prosperity in a single generation — and who loved this country with every fiber of their being. If you came here seeking opportunity and blessings and you don’t appreciate them, it’s time to move on. No hostility, no resentment — just a clear reminder that America thrives when its people value what it offers. 41:30 And we finish off with a story about accountability, intervention, and life-changing moments.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 8, 2025. 0:30 We get into a constitutional showdown that cuts right to the bone of American power — not just trade policy, but the question of who actually runs the country. With President Trump urging the Supreme Court to uphold his emergency tariff authority, we break down why this case isn’t some dry legal dispute, but a hinge moment for the entire republic. If the justices strip the president of the ability to hit hostile nations with swift economic pressure, America walks into the world stage handcuffed — with military force as its only leverage. But if the Court sides with the president, it reaffirms the very core of national sovereignty. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Department of Homeland Security announced they have found 62,000 immigrant children who had gone missing during the Biden Administration. Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is running for Senate in Texas. Paramount is trying to take over Netflix's takeover of Warner Brothers. 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 We dive into the latest ideological curveball out of New York City, where the incoming socialist mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, is suddenly promising sweeping, pro–small business reforms — at least on paper. Cutting taxes, slashing fees and fines by 50%, speeding up permits, even creating a “mom-and-pop czar” to bulldoze red tape. Sounds great, right? Maybe a little too great. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that hits right at the heart of the season: what’s the best way to give at Christmastime? And their answers go way beyond the glossy charity commercials and big-name nonprofits. From real-time giving where you see a need and fill it on the spot, to the quiet, behind-the-scenes acts of service that make a community run, the Mamas lay out the kinds of generosity that really matter — the kind that isn’t swallowed up by million-dollar CEO salaries or bloated overhead. 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 This story takes us to Ireland, where one priest is saying the quiet part out loud — and saying it every single Sunday. Father Brendan Kilcoin, an Irish Catholic priest, isn’t tiptoeing, isn’t hedging, isn’t hiding behind vague language. He’s warning his country that Ireland isn’t simply drifting from Christianity… it’s being pulled apart from both ends. On one side, aggressive secularism. On the other, mass immigration from cultures shaped not by the Gospels, but by entirely different religious traditions. And Father Kilcoin isn’t offering the kind of soft, non-committal commentary you usually hear from clergy. He’s calling for something bolder — legal immigration, yes, but explicitly Christian immigration. Not to shock, not to provoke, but because he believes Ireland is losing the very foundation that once held its culture together. 26:00 We Dig Deep into a new Harvard–HarrisX poll — yes, that Harvard–HarrisX, the one that’s been off by five, sometimes ten points to the left for three straight election cycles — and even they can’t hide what voters are saying. Strip the Trump name off the policies, and suddenly Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of every major plank the president is pushing. Border security, deporting illegal immigrants — even all illegal immigrants — tariffs, military action against cartels, banning men from women’s sports, ending racial preferences, freezing foreign aid, the whole thing. Policy after policy, Americans are on board. And yet? The same voters give Trump middling approval numbers. We break down how the media machine, the “no-kings” narrative, and years of Trump-is-Hitler hysteria have created a bizarre split-brain politics where people love the ideas but think they’re supposed to hate the guy proposing them. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down a story most media outlets won’t touch: the growing pressure campaign against crisis pregnancy centers — the very places research shows could have changed everything for the 60% of women who say they would’ve chosen life if they’d had just a little more support. Instead of helping these centers do exactly that, states like New Jersey are trying to force them to hand over their donor lists, despite admitting they had zero complaints, zero evidence of wrongdoing, and were basically on a political fishing expedition. 35:30 In a rare moment of Hollywood clarity, Jennifer Lawrence just told The New York Times something you almost never hear from an A-list celebrity: she’s stepping back from politics — not because she’s changed her mind, but because she finally realizes her opinions don’t change elections… they just pour gasoline on a country already split down the middle. We dive into the audio, break down Lawrence’s surprisingly grounded admission, and spotlight her warning that celebrity activism can actually damage careers, alienate half an audience, and even contribute to political hostility.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 5, 2025. 0:30 We break down a moment that’s quietly shaking the political world — a Christmas message from President Trump that critics and supporters alike weren’t expecting. Standing before the National Christmas Tree, Trump delivered a line that hit with the weight of history: with the birth of Jesus, “human history turned from night to day.” No politics, no polling, no spin — just a call to love one another, serve one another, and remember that every child is made in the image of God. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Thing You Need to Know. The US Supreme Court announced they will hear a challenge to President Trump's executive order denying birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. A federal grand jury refused to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud this week. Netflix is buying Warner Brothers Discovery. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We dig into a stunning new revelation that the media would’ve once treated like a five-alarm fire — but now barely whispers about. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has reviewed just a slice of America’s voter rolls, and what she found is jaw-dropping: hundreds of thousands of dead voters still listed as active, thousands of non-citizens registered for federal elections, and more than a dozen states fighting tooth-and-nail to block transparency. We walk through the numbers, the lawsuits, and the obvious question no newsroom seems interested in asking: why would any state hide its voter data unless there was something to hide? From “most secure election in history” to the growing evidence that the system is riddled with cracks, we break down how fraud becomes a feature — not a glitch — and why trust in elections keeps eroding. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson take on a question a lot of families have quietly wondered: why aren’t people doing obituaries anymore? From the rising cost of funerals to the decline of newspapers, from social media replacing the old morning paper to families choosing simplicity over tradition, the Mamas dig into what’s changing — and what might be getting lost. They talk about how obituaries once anchored local communities, how funerals serve the living more than the dead, and how skipping those rituals leaves a hole many people don’t realize is there until it’s gone. With personal stories, sharp humor, and a whole lot of heart, the Mamas break down how our culture handles loss, why those final tributes still matter, and why even in a digital age, remembering someone shouldn’t disappear. 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 wade into a scandal brewing out of Minnesota — a jaw-dropping scheme where Somali fraud rings siphoned off millions in taxpayer funds meant to feed hungry children, and where, according to new reports, some of that stolen cash ended up flowing straight into Democrat campaign coffers. From Ilhan Omar’s backyard to Attorney General Keith Ellison’s campaign account, we break down how a billion-dollar fraud operation slipped past state officials, how fake nonprofits claimed to feed thousands of kids a day from buildings with no kitchens, and how money funneled through Minnesota wound up in Somalia — and potentially in the hands of Al Shabaab. 26:00 We Dig Deep a headline that sounds almost too wild to be true: did Donald Trump accidentally save the American AI industry from being overtaken by China? According to Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang — one of the most influential figures in tech — the answer is yes. Not because Trump set out to rescue AI, but because he unleashed U.S. energy production with “drill baby drill,” giving America the massive, continuous power supply that AI absolutely devours. From Goldman Sachs warning that AI energy use could explode 160% by decade’s end, to data centers now drawing power like mid-sized cities, we break down why reliable energy isn’t just an economic issue — it’s national security. And we walk through the near-miss that almost kneecapped the entire industry: a last-minute Biden-era “AI diffusion rule” that Trump killed before it could take effect. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dig into a stunning move from New York’s mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani — a promise to end homeless encampment sweeps the moment he takes office. In a city once called America’s crown jewel, the new plan means police won’t be allowed to clear tents from sidewalks, parks, or even Times Square. Instead, the mayor says the answer is “connecting people with housing”… even as the real crisis is addiction, mental illness, and a system that can’t compel anyone to get help. From cities like Portland and San Francisco collapsing under the same policies — more crime, more overdoses, more fires, more chaos — we lay out the hard truth: ignoring encampments doesn’t solve homelessness, it supercharges it. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From CNN fumbling pipe-bomb speculation and climate-change studies collapsing under their own bogus math, to FIFA surprising everyone with a Peace Prize to Chuck Schumer taking a theatrical dive worthy of the World Cup, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We tackle what can only be described as a constitutional earthquake — the Supreme Court’s decision to take up Donald Trump’s challenge to birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders. 41:30 And we end today's show with the 21st amendment that was ratified 92 years ago and ended prohibition.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 4, 2025. 0:30 Do you ever stop and think about what America used to be like? A country where political disagreements didn’t come packaged with threats, bankruptcies, mobs, and blacklists. From Reagan’s America to even Bill Clinton’s America, the conversation turns to how radically the tone has shifted under Obama and Biden. That sets the stage for the day’s story: Rep. Ilhan Omar launching a new boycott campaign — “We Ain’t Buying It” — aimed squarely at companies that work with the Trump administration. We unpack her loaded language: businesses must “pay a costly price” and she calls on supporters to use “every leverage” in their “arsenal.” We compare that rhetoric to historical patterns — from the French Revolution to Mao’s Red Guards to the Weather Underground — where phrases like “pay a heavy price” were precursors to coercion, destruction, and political violence. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. More than four years after it happened, the FBI has finally made an arrest in the January 6th Pipe Bomb case. A new report out says there has been widespread fraud in Obamacare Subsidies. Two more Afghani immigrants to the US have been arrested on terrorism charges. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

We break down how deeply AT&T had plunged into the ideology, pushing training that claimed racism was a “uniquely white trait,” a stance that is not only absurd but openly discriminatory. From African ethnic conflicts to Imperial Japan’s belief in racial superiority, we point out the obvious: bigotry has never been exclusive to any one group. 16:00 The American Mamas dive into the big headline of the week: Michael and Susan Dell dropping a jaw-dropping $6.25 billion into Trump’s new children’s savings account program. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson break down why this move could change the future for millions of kids, why early business education matters, and why generosity like this sparks both inspiration and outrage. 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 For the fourth month in a row, housing costs in America are falling — and the reason why has the left fuming. We break down how deporting two million illegal immigrants and ending mass releases at the border is reshaping the housing market. J.D. Vance calls the connection “clear as day,” and the numbers back him up. It’s simple economics, not politics — supply, demand, and what happens when you stop overwhelming the system. Common sense? Absolutely. Controversial? You bet. 25:00 The fatal flaw of socialism isn’t just that it has always failed — it’s that it can never succeed. We break down why “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” works inside a loving family… but collapses the moment it’s applied to millions of imperfect human beings. Socialism demands angelic selflessness from everyone, all the time. Capitalism? It only requires people not to be outright monsters — a bar most folks can clear most of the time. From human nature to the Pilgrims to New Yorkers honking on the freeway, we dig deep into why socialism always slides into coercion, why capitalism aligns with reality, and why any system that relies on perfect people is doomed. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

From vaccine mandates to college campuses, from “follow the science” to full-blown censorship, we walk back through how debate got shut down, how experts were elevated to unquestionable status, and how anyone who raised concerns — parents, doctors, journalists — was labeled a conspiracy theorist. 35:30 There’s finally a bright spot out of North Carolina this week—one that could change the game on violent repeat offenders. After months of shootings, releases, and a justice system that kept turning the same people back onto the streets, something different just happened in Charlotte. An 18-year-old—arrested multiple times for firing into homes—was picked up again. But this time? He didn’t walk free. His bond: $5.3 million. What changed? A brand-new law that just went into effect, born from a tragedy that never should have happened. And for the first time in a long time, it looks like consequences are finally catching up to the people who’ve been terrorizing innocent families. 40:00 And then there’s Mariah Carey—yes, the Christmas queen herself—making headlines again, but not for the song you’ve already heard 500 times this month. Over the summer, she showed up at an event in the U.K. wearing a glitter-bombed, rhinestone jacket that read “Protect the Dolls.” Now? She’s putting that jacket up for auction. And the cause it supports has a very specific mission: pushing more gender ideology into mainstream entertainment. So while everyone else is cueing up her Christmas tracks, she’s using her platform to bankroll something very different. And honestly… that deserves a big “whoa.” 41:30 And finally, a story that’ll restore a little of your faith in humanity. A first-year teacher in Virginia nearly lost her life after choking in front of her class—but three of her first graders jumped into action like seasoned pros. These kids didn’t panic—they became heroes. And their teacher says, “They 100% saved my life.” Now that’s the kind of story we need more of.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 3, 2025. 0:30 President Trump just killed Biden’s CAFE standards— and the auto world is cheering. Today we break down how one move out of Washington could mean cheaper cars, more choices, and a little relief for America’s working families. Why were automakers smiling in the Oval Office? And why were Biden’s rules quietly driving car prices into the stratosphere? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Republican Matt Van Epps is heading to Congress. President Trump pardoned Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar this week. Former special council Jack Smith has been subpoenaed in relation to his election-related investigation of Donald Trump. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 When the left runs out of arguments, they grab the same old playbook—cry “Hitler!” and hope nobody notices the logic falling apart. Today we break down the latest example out of Minneapolis, where a city council member compared ICE officers checking immigration documents to Nazi Germany. We dig into why this argument collapses on contact with reality, why every civilized nation on earth enforces immigration law, and why the left refuses to call illegal immigration what it is. 15:30 A preacher steps into the pulpit in upstate New York… and announces he’s transitioning. The congregation is stunned, the sermon turns into a therapy session, and suddenly the focus is everything but the Bible. So what do the American Mamas think when a pastor uses Sunday morning to talk sexual identity and politics instead of scripture? Terry and Kimberly jump in with their own church experiences, the fallout from Methodist splits, and why so many people are tired of pastors turning sermons into social-issue spotlights. 23:00 When a member of Congress claims that “Black and brown voters belong to her,” we dive into why that kind of rhetoric isn’t just politically toxic—it’s morally backwards. Is America really heading toward a future run on racial math instead of individual merit? And what happens to the dream of a colorblind society when politicians double down on identity politics just to win an election? 26:00 Thomas Jefferson warned us back in 1781 — and today, it looks like his prediction has come true. We unpack Jefferson’s concerns about importing large groups from nations with corrupt or authoritarian governments and how those political habits can follow them into America. Fast-forward to modern Minneapolis, where the mass resettlement of Somali immigrants has led to fraud investigations, missing government funds, and even money funneled to Al-Shabaab. From ghost employees in Somalia to billions in questionable payments in Minnesota, we're seeing the reality that Jefferson warned us about so long ago — immigration only works when newcomers join American society, not when they bring dysfunctional systems with them. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 California’s at it again — and this time Gavin Newsom is floating a “retroactive” billionaire tax that would hit anyone worth over a billion dollars based on their wealth from the year before the tax even exists. We break down how California is trying to chase down its shrinking tax base, whether a state can legally tax people who no longer live there, and why high-rollers keep packing their U-Hauls for places like Texas. 35:30 With more Americans questioning whether college is worth the price tag, one major tech company is stepping in with a very different solution. Palantir’s new “Meritocracy Fellowship” tells high-school graduates to skip the debt, skip the indoctrination, and jump straight into real-world work. We dig deep into how Palantir is offering intense training in Western civilization, hands-on engineering assignments for U.S. government clients, and real pay — all without a four-year degree. 40:00 Are good manners suddenly “sexist”? We dive into the simple act of holding the door — and why something as basic as courtesy has somehow become controversial. We break down what chivalry actually means, why respect has nothing to do with weakness, and how common kindness still surprises visitors to the American South. 41:30 We finish off with a kind stranger who returned a lost wallet and really showed that the Christmas spirit is alive and well.
