You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 29, 2026. We open with the Supreme Court's ruling that lets the administration keep deporting illegal immigrants to third countries while the case works its way through the courts. We ask who holds the constitutional authority to decide whether a foreign national can stay in the United States, and we also dig into the inspector general's finding that roughly 40 percent of sampled Afghan asylum files had vetting and documentation errors under the Biden administration. In our Top 3 You Need to Know, former special counsel Jack Smith testifies before a Senate committee, and Senator Chuck Grassley calls his operation a partisan weapon. An illegal immigrant from Venezuela who was shot by ICE agents in Austin is now charged with assaulting an officer. President Trump announces America.gov, a free chatbot that searches 29,000 government websites. Then we turn to Governor Gavin Newsom and the No Kings Act, and to why we think the law won't survive a federal supremacy challenge. On American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson answer the question: how would you feel if your church publicized what you tithed each week? They talk about Matthew 6, the widow's penny, and why the heart of the giver matters more than the dollar amount. In Digging Deep, we look at the CDC's latest high school survey. It shows a drop in LGBT identification among younger teens, along with improvements in reported sadness, poor mental health, and suicidal thoughts. We ask whether the two trends are connected and what might have changed. We also cover a Capitol Hill hearing on the government's COVID response, where attorney Ralph Lorigio testifies about his court fights to get ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine to hospitalized patients. We discuss why doctors and medical institutions followed CDC guidance. For our Bright Spot, we start with Speaker Mike Johnson and Governor Jeff Landry pushing back on fears about data centers. They compare the water use to golf courses and argue that the United States can't afford to let China win the AI infrastructure race. Then we get to the Protect College Sport Act, which passed the Senate 77 to 22 with sponsors from both parties. It would limit transfers, set rules for conference changes, and stop coaches from leaving mid-season, and we debate whether it's a job for the federal government. We close with a Moment of Whoa. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's plan would let first-time passport applicants do everything online by the end of 2027.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 28, 2026. We open by taking on a Kansas Senate candidate and former United Methodist pastor, Adam Hamilton, who preached a sermon calling for repentance over beef and cattle. We ask where that's found in Scripture, what happens when climate becomes the highest moral authority, and why the third-largest cattle state in America isn't likely to send him to Washington. In the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we cover an alleged Iranian-backed terror plot to blow up a U.S. air base in England, and why the suspects are already out on bail. We also look at the announcement of the largest steel mill in American history, a $15 billion project in Iowa, and at the Department of Transportation rolling back Biden-era fuel economy standards, which the administration says will lower new car prices by an average of $1,300. Next, we break down Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's plan to rein in private college costs by making public college tuition-free. We explain why "free" really means paid for by taxpayers, including those who never went to college, and how government involvement helped create runaway tuition in the first place. On American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to talk about the disturbing trend of "abortion announcements" that mimic pregnancy announcements, and what the language of "baby canceled" admits about the argument behind them. Then we look at the "clock" Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has put on Iran, with roughly two weeks before its oil revenue runs dry and the week of October 12th flagged as the one to watch, all part of Operation Economic Outcast. In Digging Deep, we test the logic of Steny Hoyer's op-ed urging Americans to vote Democrat. We check his claims on gas prices, housing costs, and inflation against the data, and we ask what the Democratic agenda actually is. We also share a Substack piece by an author writing as Abstract Truth, a defense of men and masculinity that asks why so many women who value the good men in their lives stay quiet about it. In our Bright Spot, we cover Pope Leo's message in France rejecting euthanasia and "false compassion," and the reminder that what is legal is not necessarily moral. We close with a Moment of Whoa, marking the 245th anniversary of George Washington's arrival at Yorktown, and a look at what America can do when it believes in itself.

En la entrevista del programa La Miel en tu radio conversamos con la Ing. Agr. Marina Múscolo y Apic. Lorena Urquiza Reinas de Corazones 26/09/2026. Hicimos un balance sobre la organización y particiapción en el Encuentro de Mujeres Rurales en Bellocq organizado por el Ministerio de Desarrollo Agrario MDA y Reinas de corazones.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 25th, 2026. We open by asking whether Xi Jinping is as secure as he looks, after his visit with President Trump. We look at Peter Schweizer's warning about the expulsion of two senior Chinese military leaders, and at the Gorbachev-era Soviet Union, and we debate whether China could face a comparable transformation. In the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the Senate rejects a war powers resolution on Iran by a 50 to 49 vote, with Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Thom Tillis crossing the aisle. James Copenhaver, wounded in the Butler assassination attempt on President Trump, has died, making him the second fatality from that day. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill also calls on Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell to resign after an ethics investigation. Then we head to Oviedo, Florida, where an 11-year-old riding an electric bike 300 feet from home to go fishing was fingerprinted, cited, and had his bike impounded. We ask whether anybody is using common sense. In American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on what to do when you know someone is talking about you: confront them, or tell your side of the story. We share stories, advice from our mothers, and a favorite line from Stephen's pastor about defending yourself. In Digging Deep, we take on the growing number of people justifying the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, including comedian Bill Burr's comments, and draw the line between criticizing a business and rationalizing violence. We also look at Washington, D.C.'s push for new taxes, including a pied-à-terre tax, and ask whether the city has a revenue problem or a spending problem. After that, we react to Congressman Mike Quigley's claim that America's only option in Iran is humiliating withdrawal. It's Fake News Friday, and we play real news, fake news, or really fake news with headlines about ICE, the Babylon Bee, Canada, and even robot relations departments. In a Moment of Whoa, we reflect on New York's Medical Aid in Dying Act and the sanctity of life, then end on a lighter note with Dolly Parton Day celebrated across the country.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 24, 2026. We open by tackling the socialism debate head-on, breaking it down with a fifth-grade-simple question about neighbors and fairness before diving into a new Gallup poll showing 43% of Americans now hold a positive view of socialism — the highest number recorded since 2010. We explore the contradiction of Americans loving free enterprise and small business while flirting with socialist ideas they don't fully understand, and we draw the line between legitimate public services like roads and schools versus actual government ownership of production. From there we hit our Top 3 Things You Need to Know: a federal judge's temporary injunction forcing the White House to reinstate press credentials for CNN, MSNBC, and Politico. Twenty people charged with illegal voting in Florida's 2024 election, including sixteen alleged illegal aliens. And the messy vandalism scandal involving former Senator Kyrsten Sinema's ex-boyfriend and bodyguard. We then discuss President Trump's high-profile hosting of China's Xi Jinping at the White House, weighing the optics of diplomacy against real disagreements over trade, Taiwan, and human rights, and comparing the tone of that visit to the infamous Zelensky Oval Office meeting. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to answer the question: what's a sign your church is thriving? They share how youth engagement — or the lack of it — can make or break a congregation, and why getting kids excited about church is the real key to growth. We dig deep into the fascinating claims out of Turkey, where researchers investigating the Durupinar Formation on Mount Ararat say they've found signs of a man-made structure that could be Noah's Ark — though we remain skeptical of the "100% confirmed" headlines. We also talk about the very different ways men and women read a story about Melania Trump's outfit at the Xi Jinping state visit, before landing on a Bright Spot: the Department of Justice reaching settlements with six major hospitals to end transgender procedures on minors. We close with the heartwarming story of 12-year-old Sadie Hudson, who repaired and donated 114 stuffed animals to the Red Cross for children who've lost everything in house fires.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 23, 2026. We open with a troubling new survey from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, which asked nearly 70,000 undergraduates at 257 schools about silencing speakers. More than a third said violence to stop a campus speech is acceptable to some degree. We ask what happened to real debate, why so many parents are going into debt for this kind of education, and share our own experience of a Hofstra University panel that was called off over safety concerns. In the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, a federal judge lets President Trump's ban of CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House briefing room stand while he weighs the case. The federal government also purges 760,000 fraudulent Obamacare enrollments, a move expected to save taxpayers $2.2 billion. And a Utah postal worker is indicted for allegedly dumping about 300 mail-in ballots in a church parking lot dumpster, which is one more reason we make the case for showing up in person on Election Day. We then question a Texas Senate candidate's church after its pastor's Easter sermon claimed Jesus never rose from the dead. In American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson help us tackle why marriage rates are falling, from wedding-industry pressure to dating apps, politics, and fatherlessness. Next, we look at Christopher Rufo's reporting on the $11 billion California has spent on benefits for illegal immigrants. In Digging Deep, we go to the text of the Second Amendment and a New Jersey lawsuit over the state's ban on carrying everyday objects like bats, knives, and batons for self-defense. In our Bright Spot, a Biden-appointed judge tosses Michigan's antitrust lawsuit against big oil. A Greenfield, Massachusetts lesbian bar takes heat over its mask rules, and in the Moment of Whoa, Rep. Pramila Jayapal claims women make better negotiators than men. We close with a 47-year-old pastor who walked onto a junior college football team and finally got in the game.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 22, 2026. We open with the ICE agent shooting in North Austin, Texas, where a man who was driving for DoorDash was shot after ICE says he tried to run over an agent with his car. We look at Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gill's charge that Democrats reflexively side with illegal immigrants, and at Austin council member Mike Siegel calling the agent the "ICE shooter" who committed a "likely crime." We also talk about why serious investigations, including a role for the Texas Rangers, should follow any shooting by law enforcement, and why officers and the people they detain should both be held to the rule of law. In the Top 3 You Need to Know, we cover President Trump's address to the United Nations General Assembly, including his warning to Iran over nuclear weapons. We also cover the new Greenland security deal with Denmark and Greenland, and the latest twist in Missouri's congressional map fight after the Eighth Circuit's ruling, which leaves it unclear which maps will be used in November. Next, we react to Kamala Harris and Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed discussing maternal health care, and to Harris's use of the phrase "birthing people." We look at the CDC's maternal mortality numbers for Black women and ask whether voters care more about their bank accounts than about the language. Then the American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to answer the question: did Sydney Sweeney break women? They weigh in on her new ad, the reaction to it, and whether the outrage is really about who is doing the posing. After that, we take on profanity, drinking, and smoking in sports broadcasting. That includes Tom Brady's on-air slip during the Cowboys-Commanders game and Pat McAfee's antics, and we debate whether "authentic" has to mean "vulgar." In Digging Deep, we go through a Liberal Currents poll on how Democrats say they'd feel about Trump being removed from office. The options ranged from impeachment and conviction to the 25th Amendment to a military coup, and some of the numbers are startling. We also ask whether Tom Cruise wanting directors to read him the script is arrogance or smart leadership, and what the rest of us could learn from listening instead of reading. Our Bright Spot is three-time Olympic gold medalist Nancy Hogshead and her petition asking the WNBA to make clear that "woman" means female for eligibility purposes. It has nearly 22,000 signatures and support from Charles Barkley and Martina Navratilova, and we read some of the comments from women athletes who signed. We finish with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce getting caught up in a $35 million Ponzi scheme, and a Moment of Whoa: a Joby Aviation Cessna Caravan flew across the country with no pilot aboard, about 3,200 miles.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 21, 2026. We open with the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, starting with the midterm outlook and a deep dive on dueling polls—Polymarket, The Economist, the New York Times/Siena survey, and a new Marquette Law School poll—all pointing different directions on control of the House and Senate. We debate whether apathy or overconfidence among Republican voters could tip the balance, and weigh the influence of figures like Tucker Carlson and Thomas Massie on the party's cohesion. From there we cover President Trump's announcement of a new "AI Force" and a forthcoming AI czar, his decision to bar Politico, CNN, and MSNBC from the White House press pool, and the Fifth Circuit's ruling striking down the federal ban on interstate handgun sales. We then turn to the Secretary of the Air Force's stunning revelation that the U.S. Space Force already possesses an operational orbital weapons system, and what that could mean for satellite defense and missile tracking. Next up is American Mamas, where Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to discuss the fallout around the Lindsay Clancy juror who was doxxed after the trial, the racial undertones in the media coverage, and the broader conversation about jury tampering and accountability. We dig deep into President Trump's remarks calling the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt a "Democrat plot," parsing what he may have meant and where the Secret Service's conduct under the Biden administration fits in. We also break down the new U.S.-Greenland agreement, why it matters far more strategically than the Danish press is letting on, and what it means for Arctic defense and mineral access. We touch on a First Amendment ruling against a University of California misgendering policy and what it means for free speech on campus, then land on our Bright Spot: Toys R Us announcing 120 new standalone retail stores nationwide this Christmas, and why getting kids into physical stores again matters. We close out with a look at a study on how Democratic versus Republican women view men, and a Moment of Whoa about an 84-year-old man returning a library book 130 years overdue.

In the future, Caleb wants to attend the University of Illinois for a degree from the College of ACES in Food and Agribusiness Management and plans to become a member of AGR. Caleb would like to start a career in ag lending or ag management before returning to the family seed business and ultimately growing their cow/calf operation.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

¿Por qué nos fascina imaginar cómo sería vivir la vida de alguien más?En este episodio de A Pie de Letra, nuestra invitada, Malena Calva, nos presenta "Common People" de Pulp, un himno del Britpop que, treinta años después de su lanzamiento, sigue planteando preguntas incómodas sobre el privilegio, las clases sociales y la búsqueda de pertenencia. Lo que comienza como la historia de una joven privilegiada que quiere experimentar la vida de la "gente común" pronto se convierte en una conversación mucho más amplia. Hablamos de las diferencias que nacen del dinero, del origen y de las circunstancias, pero también de una curiosidad profundamente humana: el deseo de saber cómo sería vivir la vida de otra persona.¿Somos realmente libres de escapar de nuestra propia historia? ¿Buscamos otras vidas por curiosidad... o porque seguimos buscando la nuestra?Y, como suele ocurrir en A Pie de Letra, una canción termina llevándonos a una pregunta que nadie esperaba.Porque toda canción tiene una historia. Algunas nos recuerdan que, por mucho que cambiemos de escenario, seguimos intentando responder la misma pregunta: ¿quién soy y cómo sería ser alguien más?Mándanos un mensaje.Agrégate nuestros playlists a tu Spotify: 'A Pie De Letra Temporada 1' y 'A Pie De Letra Temporada 2' y Temporada 3, para que nos acompañes cada semana con una nueva canción.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. Stephen is taking some well-deserved time off, so Louis is flying solo today. This is the full show for September 14, 2026. We open on the public charge fight, as New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle and other left-wing city governments sue the Trump administration over the rule reimposed in July that makes legal immigrants less likely to secure green cards if they've used welfare benefits like subsidized health care, food stamps or public housing. Mayors Zohran Mamdani and Brandon Johnson argue immigrant families shouldn't have to choose between feeding their kids and protecting their status, but we make the case that America is really having two different conversations at once: whether we should help people who are struggling, and whom we should admit as permanent residents. Those aren't the same question, and asking whether someone can support himself isn't xenophobia — it's the whole reason we have an immigration system in the first place. Then it's the Top 3 things you need to know: oil back above $100 with Brent settling near $106 a barrel, the 10-year Treasury yield briefly touching 5% for the first time since 2023, the biggest names in AI development suddenly urging everyone to slow down while AI stocks slide, and ICE arrests hitting record levels even as deportations fail to keep pace. From there we get into outgoing Houston Democrat Al Green, who lost his May runoff and is spending his final weeks in Congress forcing yet another dead-on-arrival impeachment resolution against President Trump over ICE and Customs and Border Protection. Even his own party is grumbling about the timing, with Axios reporting Democratic lawmakers privately calling it a distraction heading into the midterms. We argue impeachment is one of the gravest constitutional remedies Congress possesses, not a button you mash every time you lose a policy argument — and voters are far more focused on kitchen table issues like the car note, the house note and affording a first home. We also respond to former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and her comments about black women feeling conditioned to handle everything themselves, which she traces to a post-traumatic slave mentality. Before we run that line straight back to slavery, we look at what happened in between: in 1960, nearly a century after emancipation, Census data showed two-thirds of black children living with both parents, and less than twenty years later fewer than half did. The Great Society programs of the 1960s did enormous damage to the black nuclear family, and that history belongs in the conversation. Next, a story that's both sad and necessary — twenty rabbis from twelve states traveling to Los Angeles for a five-day intensive security course sponsored by Magen Am USA, with 37 applicants for only 20 spots. The training covers firearm safety, situational awareness, de-escalation and knowing when not to use force. The real question isn't why rabbis are learning about firearms. It's why we've reached a point in this country where they believe they have to. Then we break down the extraordinary weekend argument over artificial intelligence in plain English. President Trump says America is winning the AI race, China desperately wants us to slow down, and the only guardrails AI needs is a strong and smart president. On the other side stand the people actually building the technology — Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk of xAI — warning that we must slow the pace of capability improvement so safety can catch up. We explain recursive self-improvement using a car that builds a better car, and why the real worry isn't a chatbot growing legs and chasing you around the kitchen but systems doing complicated work faster than humans can monitor them. We also take on the NFL's 11% ratings decline for the 2026 Patriots-Seahawks opener, which drew 25 million viewers — still enormous, but the lowest kickoff audience since 2022. Was it woke fatigue, the move from Thursday to Wednesday, Nielsen's new measurement methodology, or simple overextension across Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Thanksgiving Eve, Netflix and Peacock? We side with Jon Gruden on the league's record nine international games across seven countries and four continents: if you want to grow the game, grow it here. Football belongs to Friday nights in small towns, marching bands, homecoming and fathers throwing the ball with their sons. For our Moment of Whoa, we head to the homeless encampment under the FDR Drive near 23rd Street in Manhattan, where cleaning one block on Monday just moves the problem three blocks over by Thursday. It isn't compassionate to leave a human being sleeping beside piles of garbage. And we close with Words of Wisdom about a restless, distracted boy whose teacher saw no point in continuing his education — so his mother taught him herself. He went on to fail thousands of times searching for a filament that would burn long enough to make electric light practical, seeing information where everyone else saw failure. His name was Thomas Alva Edison. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, visit AmericanGroundRadio.com, and join the conversation at 866-AGR-1776.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 11, 2026. We start the show sounding the alarm on new findings from Anthropic that a China-based actor used its Claude AI model to help draft an anti-torpedo system specification for a Chinese defense manufacturer supplying the PLA Navy, and we talk through how AI is now being used to scrape public photos and data into targeting intelligence against U.S. military personnel and installations. We move into our Top 3: President Trump marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with a ceremony at the Pentagon, the deportation of an ISIS sympathizer who plotted an Election Day mass shooting at a Texas polling place, and a Maryland synagogue winning a court injunction against a county ban on firearms in houses of worship. For American Mamas, we're joined by Teri Netterville to talk about how this year's 9/11 anniversary hit differently, and we revisit the story of Todd Beamer's final phone call aboard Flight 93. We Dig Deep into new numbers on Gen Z and abortion, along with research linking shared last names in marriage to lower divorce rates, and we explain why we believe President Trump's strikes on Iran couldn't wait any longer. Then it's Fake News Friday, where we separate real headlines from fake ones, including Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani laughing on camera during the reading of 9/11 victims' names. We close with words of wisdom on 9/11 from George Pataki, George Bush, Sandy Dahl, and Newt Gingrich.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 10, 2026. We dig into President Trump’s proposed $5,000 “Trump dividend” and the bigger economic and political questions surrounding it. If the proposal became reality, what would it mean for federal spending, tariffs, the national debt, and the role of government in the economy? We debate whether sending money directly to Americans is sound economic policy—or simply another form of government spending—and ask whether the proposal creates an unexpected political dilemma for Democrats. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we examine the latest legal twists surrounding Missouri’s congressional redistricting map, Democratic primary shakeups in Rhode Island, and new prison sentences in the Feeding Our Future welfare fraud case. American Mamas Teri Netterville joins us as we look back one year after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and asks how his life should be remembered. We discuss his faith, his commitment to engaging people with whom he disagreed, and the three questions he reportedly kept at the center of his daily life: How can I help someone today? How can I add value to the world today? How can I honor God today? Then, we welcome Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz. Dershowitz discusses his decision to leave the Democratic Party and become what he calls a “reluctant Republican,” as well as his new book, Why I Quit the Dems and So Should You. He explains how his political views have evolved, why he believes the Democratic Party has moved away from his views on issues including the economy and foreign policy, and why he still describes himself as a libertarian on many issues. With the 25th anniversary of September 11 approaching, we also reflect on what Americans remember about that day—not only the attacks and the loss of nearly 3,000 lives, but the way ordinary Americans responded. We talk about the instinct to go home and be with family, the instinct to go to work and help, and the extraordinary sense of unity that emerged in the aftermath. Our Bright Spot features Congressman Brandon Gill and his speech at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, followed by a discussion about remembering the work, sacrifice, ingenuity, and values that helped build the United States. We close with a moving Moment of Whoa as 2,977 drones illuminate the New York City skyline in the shape of the World Trade Center towers—one for every person killed on September 11, 2001.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 9, 2026. We open with the Trump administration's proposed rule to exclude illegal aliens from the census when apportioning congressional seats. We dig into the constitutional debate over the 14th Amendment's "whole number of persons" language, work through a household-voting analogy, and ask who should actually count when it comes to political representation. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we cover Iran firing on ships in the Strait of Hormuz and rising oil prices, the escalating trade war with Canada over alcohol, dairy, and auto tariffs, and the tangled fight over which congressional map Missouri will use this fall. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to answer a listener's question about letting kids climb trees, and we swap stories about the riskier playgrounds and looser parenting of our own childhoods. We dig deep into why so few states mandate 9/11 education, walking through which states require it by law versus by curriculum standard, and why remembering "never forget" matters for a generation born after the attacks. We also take on Texas Senate candidate James Talarico's walk-back of his past claims about gender and God, question Mitch McConnell's silence amid new scrutiny of his transparency, and find our bright spot in a New York Times story about AI displacing Kenyan essay-writers who'd been doing American college students' homework for pay. We close with our Moment of Whoa on honesty and integrity, featuring quotes from A.R. Rahman, Warren Buffett, and Mother Teresa.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 8, 2026. We open with the escalating trade standoff between the United States and Canada, working through the numbers behind Ottawa's tariffs on American goods, the political timing tied to upcoming provincial elections in Quebec and Alberta, and the case for why any "free trade" agreement ought to actually be free and reciprocal in both directions. From there we run through our Top 3 things you need to know: the Republican Party's first-ever midterm convention getting underway in Dallas, a fresh wave of illegal voting charges spanning three states, and the Smithsonian's Lonnie Bunch III announcing his retirement after years of criticism over the institution's DEI framing of history. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to talk legacy, how families keep loved ones present after they're gone, and the way video, storytelling, and even social media reels have become a modern-day way of preserving memory. We also spend time on our culture's troubling habit of turning killers into celebrities while their victims fade into footnotes. We dig deep on a new Elon Musk documentary premiering at the Venice Film Festival, the election-meddling allegations at its center, and a wilder side story involving an ex-girlfriend, a cryptic text, and "10,000 lasers in space." From there we turn to New York and Illinois, where religious orders are fighting state mandates that would force Catholic nuns to help fund abortions or participate in end-of-life conversations that conflict with their faith, and why we think that's a religious liberty problem far bigger than any one issue. We also weigh in on the rhetoric surrounding Mamdani, Adam Schiff, and their associations, alongside Hochul's framing of division around the 9/11 anniversary, before pivoting to something a little more hopeful: Chris Rock publicly agreeing that the media pushes fake news, and what it means when someone crosses party lines to admit when the other side has a point. Our Bright Spot this week is a personal one: American Ground Radio's ninth anniversary, grown from a single Shreveport, Louisiana station into fifty markets across the country, including morning drive in our nation's capital. We say thank you to our listeners, our supporters, and the American Mamas for making the journey with us. And our Moment of Whoa goes to Aubrey Aldridge, a 22-year-old with Down syndrome who just became the world's first certified UPBEAT Bar fitness instructor, teaching her first class to sixty people.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 4, 2026. We open by digging into the August jobs report, weighing the surprise addition of 162,000 payroll jobs and steady 4.1% unemployment against the doom-and-gloom predictions that dominated headlines for months. We talk through the manufacturing and construction gains, wage growth versus inflation, and what it all means heading into the fall. From there we hit our Top 3 things you need to know: the jobs numbers rebound, Missouri's Supreme Court throwing the state's new congressional map into chaos just weeks before the election, and a bombshell inspector general report on former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer's conduct while in office. We also cover a GAO report revealing the Secret Service repeatedly ignored civilian drone incidents near the president going back to the Obama years, right up through Butler, Pennsylvania. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to tackle a listener question about whether women choosing to go childless will one day regret it, sparked by a viral post from a 36-year-old asking the internet that very thing. We follow that with a First Amendment conversation about the right to organize, even for ideas like socialism, and take a look at the growing wave of socialist conferences happening around the country. We Dig Deep into a troubling story out of Virginia, where a pregnant mother studying for the bar was convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after letting her five-year-old walk two blocks to a pond in their gated community. We also break down a Wall Street Journal report on Senator John Fetterman being blasted by his own party in Pennsylvania. It's Fake News Friday, where we run through headlines on Lake America, the Montreal Canadiens, the Strait of Hormuz, Senator Blumenthal's near-miss with a train, and more, letting listeners test their own real-news-versus-fake-news instincts. We close things out with a Moment of Whoa involving a duct-taped unruly airline passenger, and a heartwarming story about a liver transplant recipient marrying the brother of her donor two decades later.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 3, 2026. We open by digging into Enos Cantor Freedom's federal lawsuit against the Chicago Sky, the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, and the city of Chicago after he was escorted out of a WNBA game and banned from Wintrust Arena for wearing a shirt defining womanhood and cheering for the Indiana Fever. We walk through the video of his confrontation with Sky guard Natasha Cloud and debate whether he was singled out for his viewpoint rather than any actual rule violation, and what that means for his First Amendment claim. From there we hit our Top 3 things you need to know: the Ninth Circuit allowing Idaho's abortion ban to take effect for now, ICE setting a new record with 51,000 detentions in August as three million illegal immigrants have left or been removed since President Trump returned to office, and a federal judge tossing the DOJ's lawsuit against California's law letting biological males compete in girls' sports. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to answer why 85-year-old actress Donna Mills has launched an OnlyFans page, which spins into a broader conversation about the platform, a politically outspoken creator monetizing her looks alongside her commentary, and the personal costs that can come with that kind of income. We Dig Deep on two fronts: a Maine Supreme Court ruling that a mother cannot take her 12-year-old daughter to church without the father's consent amid the parents' custody dispute over religion, and a Columbia Journalism Review report on New York City Mayor Mamdani's office paying influencers with taxpayer money to spread city messaging on immigration and tenants' rights, which we argue crosses the line from public information into propaganda. We also talk about North Carolina's Roy Cooper calling for healthcare over handcuffs for jailed offenders, and why we think that overlooks crime victims, before landing on a Bright Spot out of Pittsburgh, where a church is reporting a wave of young people, including hundreds of University of Pittsburgh students, coming forward for baptism. We close out with George Clooney warning about the rich and powerful while accepting a lifetime achievement award, and a father-son team in Michigan fixing cars for neighbors who can't afford repairs.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 2, 2026. We open by taking on House Minority Whip Katherine Clark's claim that Americans don't care about the "socialism" label, and we push back hard, arguing that if the word were meaningless, Democrats wouldn't work so hard to distance themselves from it. We trace the line from Marx's Communist Manifesto to the Soviet Union's own self-description to Zohran Mamdani's push for government-run grocery stores in New York City, making the case that socialism and communism are one and the same, and that Americans' everyday worries about groceries, housing, and gas prices are really debates about capitalism versus government control. In our Top 3, we cover the latest round of US strikes on Iran after Iranian forces threatened the Strait of Hormuz, the House passing a short-term spending bill that averts a government shutdown, and 80-year-old Senator Ed Markey's primary win over Congressman Seth Moulton in Massachusetts. We also dig into a fresh YouGov poll finding that a small but growing share of Democrats believe the country focuses too much on 9/11, and we argue that number, however small, still matters because our enemies benefit whenever America grows complacent about that day. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to talk about how wedding registries have changed, from china and crystal to Christmas trees and rugs, and how weddings themselves have ballooned into full productions driven by social media. From there we look at Elon Musk's prediction of a billion humanoid robots within a decade and debate whether he's forecasting the future or selling it, before Digging Deep into a new Gallup poll showing a record 89% of Americans now believe government corruption is widespread, up ten points from just last year, and we connect that spike to COVID-era spending fraud and the DOGE investigations that followed. We get a laugh out of New York Governor Kathy Hochul quietly dropping the state's requirement that liquor license applicants disclose whether patrons will be dancing, and we hand out a Bright Spot to Speaker Mike Johnson for introducing a constitutional amendment that would lock the Supreme Court at nine justices, which leads us into a wish list of other amendments we'd like to see, from a balanced budget requirement to repealing the 16th and 17th Amendments. We close by expressing our disgust that vandals defaced Dolly Parton's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame barely a week after her death, and we leave you with Words of Wisdom on the Constitution from Calvin Coolidge, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Abraham Lincoln, and John Adams.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 1, 2026. We open by pushing back on the "black pill" defeatism creeping into GOP circles ahead of the midterms, weighing Speaker Mike Johnson's optimism and 55-city campaign push against the Cook Political Report's toss-up numbers, and why the redistricting fights of the last two years mean history alone won't decide who holds the House in 2026. From there we run through the Top 3 things you need to know: nine more pharmaceutical companies signing onto Trump's most-favored-nation drug pricing plan, ICE's Operation Rotten Apple sweep that netted 2,100 arrests of criminal illegal aliens in New York City, and Florida's statewide ban on flock license-plate cameras over data privacy concerns. We turn it over to our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, who take on a listener question about the viral clip of Ashley Judd and her conservative stepdad staying close despite being worlds apart politically, and why the media keeps pushing Americans to cut off family over disagreements instead of staying in relationship with the people they love. Digging Deep, we cover Georgetown's newly updated 2026 National Firearm Survey, breaking down who actually owns guns in America, how often they're used defensively, and why the numbers undercut a lot of the usual narratives around AR-15s, high-capacity magazines, and who's arming themselves. We also touch on a Cedar Hill, Texas bank robbery stopped cold by an armed customer, Trump's push to rename American landmarks like the Gulf of America, and his Supreme Court appeal defending the administration's authority to remove transgender troops from military service.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 31, 2026. We open by digging into the Trump administration's crackdown on fraudulent commercial driving schools, walking through why English proficiency and real CDL training aren't bureaucratic red tape but a matter of public safety, and how the Biden-era rollback of licensing standards left blue states like New York, California, and Illinois with hundreds of noncompliant schools, thousands of unsafe drivers, and a real national security exposure tied to unaccountable 18-wheelers. From there we run through the Top 3 things you need to know: a new U.S.-Venezuela oil deal aimed at cutting China out of the picture, U.S. military strikes on Iranian targets in the Persian Gulf tied to sea-mine activity, and the federal shutdown of over a hundred more commercial trucking schools tied to unlicensed, non-English-speaking drivers. We touch on sports activism, from NFL end-zone messaging to Tennessee honoring Dolly Parton with a helmet sticker, before turning it over to our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, who take on a listener question about whether they'd write a child out of the will over socialism, plus a detour into trade schools, Mike Rowe, and the value of a good vocation. Digging Deep, we cover a New York assistant attorney general's viral internal email accusing AG Letitia James's office of manufacturing a case against Trump, and what happened to him within an hour of hitting send. We also look at President Trump's push to lure Canadian businesses south of the border, the "Best and Brightest" push to recruit sharp, fast-processing minds — including gamers — into air traffic control now that DEI mandates are gone, and a Texas Senate candidate's blunt new campaign pitch: vote for me, I'll raise your taxes. For our Bright Spot, we look at a year of data out of Texas A&M on school cell phone bans, and the real gains in grades, anxiety, and old-fashioned face-to-face friendship they're producing. And we close on a heartwarming story out of the Bronx, where a pizza shop owner's simple act of kindness for a woman digging through his trash turned into a nationwide movement of paying it forward, one slice at a time.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 28, 2026. We open with Florida's move to ban welfare cash assistance from covering tattoos, video games, theme park tickets, vaping products, and even psychic services, and we dig into why Governor DeSantis's crackdown on TANF spending should spread nationwide. We run through our Top 3, covering a Boston judge blocking Trump's mail-in ballot security measures again, the clearing of Iranian mines from the Strait of Hormuz, and a military judge tossing out Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's 9/11 confession over coercion claims. We also can't resist poking fun at CNN's embarrassing mix-up using a Dolly Parton impersonator's photo to announce the real Dolly Parton's death. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to talk about Brian Guan, the atheist whose 30-day experiment cosplaying as a Christian led him to tears and a genuine conversion by day 20, and we draw the parallel to C.S. Lewis and Lee Strobel's own journeys from skepticism to faith. Digging Deep, we tackle Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass halting citations for unlicensed street vendors, the sinking marshlands of South Louisiana, and how SpaceX's new $100 billion spaceport might do more to protect the coastline than decades of lawsuits, plus a detour into why capitalism protects what people can profit from. We talk through President Trump's self-ranking as the greatest president in history and whether confidence like that is healthy or just bluster, before diving into Fake News Friday with our usual mix of real, fake, and really fake headlines. We close out with an update on birthright citizenship litigation and a story about Millie, the 31-year-old cat who may hold a world record.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 27, 2026. We open by tearing into Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner's comments about wanting a "paperweight" from the wreckage of Trump's planned White House ballroom, walking through why that rhetoric crosses the line from political disagreement into celebrating the destruction of federal property, and how the broader culture of "blow it up, burn it down" language is fueling real threats against the president. We get to our Top 3 things you need to know: President Trump's executive order renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America" amid the trade standoff with Canada, the Third Circuit's ruling that the assault case against Congresswoman LaMonica McIver can proceed, and the release of ICE agent Christian Castro from a Texas jail after Minnesota's extradition lawsuit was tossed as premature. Our American Mama Teri Netterville joining us to reflect to reflect on the life and legend of Dolly Parton including a moving story about her music showing up at a family funeral and a look at how she became one of the few truly unifying figures in American life, right down to turning down the Presidential Medal of Freedom three times so it wouldn't look political. We dig deep on two fronts: the Trump administration's new requirement that states conduct random manual audits of paper ballots to keep their Homeland Security election funding, which we frame as basic quality control rather than an attack on election integrity, and a close read of Texas Senate candidate James Tallarico's campaign theology, where we lay out chapter and verse why his claims about a non-binary God, abortion, and religious pluralism don't square with scripture. We also weigh in on New York Mayor Mamdani mourning a Rikers Island inmate's death without a word for the man he's accused of murdering, before landing on a Bright Spot: General Mills announcing its U.S. cereal lineup is now free of certified synthetic dyes, a shift we credit to RFK Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again push merging with MAGA consumer pressure. We close things out with a Say What on a Georgia teacher's classroom "gas station" for second graders, and a Moment of Whoa honoring Mandy Patinkin's new gig as honorary team captain for the U.S. fencing team heading into the 2028 LA Olympics.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 26, 2026. We start by digging into the tangled state of the 2028 Democratic presidential field: Kamala Harris leads the national polling average, but red-state Democrats running in Iowa and Alaska are keeping her at arm's length, and her New Hampshire numbers tell a very different story than the national headline does. From there we hit the Top 3: President Trump's mail-in ballot executive order gets the green light after the Supreme Court forces a Boston judge to lift her injunction, Senator Darline Graham wins her primary to keep her late brother Lindsey Graham's Senate seat in South Carolina, and three Secret Service officers lose their clearances amid leak allegations. We're joined by American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson to weigh in on whether a private text-message conversation caught on video in public is fair game, sparking a broader conversation about selective outrage and privacy double standards. We also try to put to rest the viral rumor about a government "kill switch" in 2027 vehicles, walking through what the 2021 infrastructure law actually requires versus what's circulating on social media. In Digging Deep, we look at a new HHS-backed study out of Rutgers and the Manhattan Institute examining a possible link between gender ideology and support for political violence, tying it back to Charlie Kirk's final on-air remarks. Our Bright Spot honors Dolly Parton, spotlighting King Charles and Camilla's tribute alongside tributes from Bill Clinton and President Trump, and celebrating her rise from an East Tennessee cabin to global icon. We close with a Moment of Whoa over Colin Kaepernick receiving the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award, plus a remembrance of actor Tim Curry, who passed away this week at 80.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 25, 2026. We open with a hard look at a troubling poll: 62% of young Americans now say they view socialism favorably, and we dig into why that number keeps climbing, what young people are actually being sold versus the historical reality of socialist regimes, and why billionaire wealth isn't the piggy bank the left makes it out to be. In our Top 3, we cover the Trump administration's fraud task force uncovering $13 billion in fraud among federal contractors, Canada slapping retaliatory tariffs of up to 50% on U.S. goods amid stalled trade talks, and a coalition of small businesses suing New York City over Mayor Mamdani's plan for government-run grocery stores. We also can't let it go unmentioned: Los Angeles is considering taxpayer-funded "sexual relief clinics" for the homeless, and we ask just how far city government should go in the name of comfort. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to talk about the disturbing social media contagion surrounding the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, the performative videos flooding the internet, and the difference between a genuine cry for help and a cry for attention. In Digging Deep, we tackle Charles Barkley's blunt comments on keeping the WNBA for women, the controversy stirred by Enos Cantor-Freedom's WNBA draft plans, and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's push to publicly expose private businesses that cooperate with ICE. Our Bright Spot celebrates Buc-ee's, the Texas-born gas station chain whose CEO says he's done building in blue states that don't appreciate the business he brings. In our Moment of Whoa, the State Department moves to revoke tourist and business visas from up to 200,000 asylum applicants, reinforcing that America's visa rules mean something. We close by remembering country music icon Dolly Parton, who passed away this week at 80.

✨ Episodio ThrowbackVolvemos a uno de los episodios favoritos de Pato de las primeras temporadas.Todo comenzó con una canción que muchos recuerdan de Flashdance. Pero lo que parecía una conversación sobre una happy song terminó convirtiéndose en una reflexión sobre una pregunta mucho más profunda.Hablamos de emociones, de autenticidad, de los momentos que nos cambian para siempre y de cómo una buena canción puede recordarnos que vivir no siempre significa sonreír… sino atreverse a sentirlo todo.Si nunca escuchaste este episodio, es un gran momento para descubrirlo. Y si ya lo conoces, quizá hoy lo escuches con otros oídos.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 24, 2026. Today's episode kicks off with the Supreme Court giving President Trump a win on mail-in ballots, putting the brakes on that Boston judge's nationwide injunction just ahead of the midterms. We dig into why ballot verification shouldn't be a partisan issue and take a swing at those states — Colorado, California, Utah — that seem to drift left every time they go all-mail. Then it's on to the Top 3: Canada gets slapped with 50% tariffs as trade talks collapse, Al Green files yet another doomed impeachment bill against Trump (after losing his own primary, no less), and Kyle Kirkwood takes the checkered flag in the wild Freedom 250 F1 race right through the streets of D.C. From there, we get into a new survey showing conservatives are having more children than liberals, and circle back to our favorite soapbox: America needs more babies. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson share their weirdest random shower thoughts, from baseball cups to the bubonic plague death toll, plus a real conversation about whether ChatGPT and Grok are making us smarter or just better googlers. We Dig Deep into two press-freedom stories: Florida's new mandate requiring public schools to teach the history of communism starting this year, which we strongly endorse, and California's new law shielding immigration and Medicaid-fraud-adjacent workers' identities, which we argue is designed to shut down investigative journalists like Nick Shirley. We tie that into James O'Keefe's recent appellate victory overturning a $130,000 judgment tied to his undercover 2016 election reporting. We cover Justice Clarence Thomas's rare interview with Senator Ted Cruz, where Thomas pushed back on the idea that his conservative views betray his race, and we use it to argue that calls for "diversity" often mean diversity of complexion rather than diversity of thought. Our Bright Spot highlights the El Paso Independent School District requiring central office administrators, including the superintendent, to substitute teach several days a year, both to build empathy for classroom teachers and to save the district roughly $4 million annually. We close with a look at Haitian nationals self-deporting to Canada following the end of their Temporary Protected Status, and a Moment of Whoa about Columbia High School in Alabama snapping a 101-game losing streak.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for Aguust 21, 2026. We open with a pointed examination of antisemitism and New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani, arguing that his rhetoric and his choices—including naming zero Jewish lawyers to the judicial screening board despite roughly half of New York's lawyers being Jewish—amount to complicity rather than leadership, and we tie the discussion back to the unique historical and religious bond between the Jewish people and Israel. From there we hit the top three things you need to know: the Supreme Court allowing the Trump administration to continue East Wing ballroom and bunker construction, Aisha Wahab winning the special election to finish Eric Swalwell's term and becoming the first Afghan immigrant elected to Congress, and a Chinese national convicted of stealing his landlord's identity to illegally vote in Massachusetts during the 2024 election. We poke fun at Chicago's approach to violent crime, ridiculing the city's rollout of thousands of signs declaring that violence "will not be tolerated" as a substitute for real enforcement. Our American Mamas segment welcomes Teri Netterville to weigh in on sorority rush videos on TikTok, debating which style of content—natural, fun montages versus overly sexualized choreography—actually reflects well on the sisterhoods posting them. We Dig Deep into Bernie Sanders campaigning for Democratic Socialist Senate candidate Angie Nixon in Florida, arguing that a state built by anti-communist refugees from Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua is uniquely hostile territory for that message. We also cover Seattle Times sports reporter Matt Calkins' resignation after his editors spiked his column defending the separation of women's sports from transgender athletes, using it as a case study in media cowardice. We touch on an Amherst College professor's book arguing Asian American success is tied to white supremacy, then run our Fake News Friday quiz covering stories on Natalie Harp, Alina Habba, Conor Kennedy's placement on a Russian most-wanted list, and more. We close discussing New York City's planned government-run grocery stores undercutting private businesses by 30% while simultaneously funding grants to keep those same businesses afloat, and a Moment of Whoa about Middleton, Idaho naming its new elementary school "Freedom Elementary."

The three-row 8X targets the BMW X5 and Range Rover Sport below A$100,000 with 900-volt charging, while the 9X moves upmarket at around A$150,000 with six-seat luxury and Naim audio; both are heavy, road-focused monocoque vehicles rather than off-roaders.LI SHUFU LEAVES GEELY AUTO CHAIRLi Shufu has resigned as chairman of Geely Automobile after 40 years, with An Conghui succeeding him on 18 August 2026 and Li becoming honorary chairman for life while remaining controlling shareholder and chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding.

BMW spent a low three-digit million sum on top of nearly €2 billion over five years, though it has not named which models Leipzig will build, as new i3 production began in Munich this month.SPARKCHARGE EXPANDS UK ENERGY NETWORKSparkCharge is bringing its US distributed energy model to the UK, serving autonomous fleets, construction and industrial sites that cannot wait for adequate grid connections. Founded by CEO Joshua Aviv and already operating across North America, the company will combine AI-optimised software, battery storage and on-site generation under new UK managing director James Taylor.FEDERAL PACKAGE TARGETS HEAVY EV BARRIERSAustralia has committed $400 million to heavy-vehicle reforms targeting charging barriers, automated permits, curfews and weight limits, announced by Treasurer Jim Chalmers after a Productivity Commission report found road-freight productivity had stalled for over a decade. The Commission estimated wider access for high-productivity and zero-emission trucks could add up to $4 billion to GDP annually, with electric trucks currently under 1% of Australian heavy-vehicle sales.ŠKODA ADDS V2L AND CAMP MODEŠkoda has added Vehicle-to-Load bidirectional charging, which powers external devices via a 230V boot socket, and an app-activated Camp Mode that maintains overnight cabin temperature with at least 30% charge. The new Peaq will also offer a Relax Package with AGR-certified massaging seats, electric leg rests and Sonos audio, plus a Wellbeing app, ventilated Phone Box and up to four 45W USB-C ports.BEACHMAN TARGETS OLD BIKES FOR ELECTRIC CONVERSIONBeachman Bikes is seeking broken motorcycles for electric conversion, building on founders Ben Taylor and Steve Payne's first prototype, a modified 1979 Kawasaki KZ200 completed in 2020, and a production run of 30 bikes on a 1970s 125cc platform. Having sold the 45 mph '64 as a Class II e-bike, the company is moving to pedal-free low-speed motorcycles in Canada and plans to end US e-bike sales next year to become a moped and motorcycle manufacturer.BRISBANE RIVER E-SCOOTERS STAY UNDERWATERAugust low tides exposed dozens of dumped Lime, Neuron and Beam e-scooters in the Brisbane River, including 24 near the CBD, with Ocean Crusaders having collected around 150 in the past year and storing the waterlogged batteries privately. Water experts warned that lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt and manganese could accumulate in sediment and harm macroinvertebrates, while the council caps operators at 7,100 devices and reportedly earned just over AUD$5m last financial year.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 20, 2026. We open with a chilling case out of Albany, New York, where 35-year-old Jessica Bowie stands accused of pledging allegiance to ISIS and plotting to bomb the New York State Capitol while also expressing a desire to harm President Trump. We use the case to dig into the theological roots of Islamist violence, the constitutional line between religious liberty and criminal conduct, and the possibility that mental illness predates her radicalization. From there we hit our Top 3 stories: ActBlue co-founder Matt DeBergolais taking the Fifth before three House committees, New York Mayor Zoran Mamdani suing his own City Council over a $10,000 teacher's aide stipend he says bypasses collective bargaining, and former Congressman Eric Swalwell getting his devices seized by the FBI amid his long-running entanglement with suspected Chinese spy Fang Fang. We then turn to the backlash over fashion designer Marc Jacobs saying he'd have styled Luigi Mangione for his murder trial, and we push back hard on the idea that a defendant's right to counsel translates into a right to admiration. Our American Mamas segment welcomes Teri Netterville to unpack the emotionally fraught trial of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother charged with strangling her three children, weighing the medical system's failures, the online conspiracy theories swirling around her ex-husband, and the difficulty of holding both empathy and accountability at once. We Dig Deep on the stalled SAVE Act and the citizenship-verification fight in the Senate, debating whether Majority Leader John Thune is protecting the filibuster or just protecting himself, before breaking down the historic wave of congressional primary losses this cycle, from scandal-driven defeats like Cory Mills and Andy Ogles to Trump-related casualties like Thomas Massie and Dan Crenshaw, DSA insurgents unseating longtime incumbents, and redistricting fights that pitted sitting members against each other. We also examine California's Proposition 40 wealth tax, walking through why taxing paper net worth instead of cash could drive founders and investment straight out of the state.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full episode for August 18, 2026. We open by taking a hard look at the polling industry ahead of the 2026 midterms, breaking down Republican pollster Patrick Ruffini's analysis of 3,000 Senate polls over four election cycles, which found an average Democratic-leaning error of 3.7 points and Democrats overstated in 73% of surveys. We debate whether that means blanket-adjusting every poll number, or whether turnout, candidate quality, and a summer electorate that isn't paying attention yet make historical error rates a poor guide to any single race, using the Texas Senate matchup between Ken Paxton and James Tallarico as our test case. From there we run through our Top 3 stories you need to know: an indictment of 17 Iranian nationals tied to the Mabna Institute for a sweeping hacking campaign against U.S. universities, private companies, and government agencies; an arrest warrant issued for former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein after she skipped a court hearing tied to an alleged assault on a police officer; and a guilty plea from a Massachusetts man who identifies as transgender after bringing Molotov cocktails to the Capitol during Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's confirmation hearing. We also dig into the National Association of Black Journalists giving ESPN's Stephen A. Smith a thumbs-down rating for refusing to stay in his ideological lane, and a former Senator John Cornyn staffer's jump to the Tallarico campaign, which we read as a sign of where the polls and the money are pointing rather than any real change in conviction. In American Mamas, Teri Netterville reflects on the death of actress Hayden Panettiere, tracing her rise as a child star through a mother who treated her as a meal ticket, an abusive relationship, drug struggles, and the broader pattern of young Hollywood stars who are chewed up by the industry around them. We Dig Deep into a resurgence of flea-borne typhus in Los Angeles, connecting record case numbers to the city's homelessness policies and a 2020 California law that restricted the most effective rat poisons to protect wildlife. We also cover a new Census Bureau review comparing 2020 voter rolls to citizenship data, which found more than 24,000 confirmed non-citizen votes out of an initial 128 million reviewed, with 32 million more ballots still to be checked, and what President Trump's reaction to that number could mean going forward. For our Bright Spot, we look at a new report showing New York City's congestion pricing hasn't actually improved air quality, then turn to a Washington, D.C. experiment coating streets in light-reflective paint to cool down urban heat islands. We say, "what" to a Minneapolis public school district reportedly handing out free backpacks and school supplies exclusively to American Indian students. And we close with a Moment of Whoa as Jason Burns secretly trains for two weeks to surprise his girlfriend Emma Kessler at the starting line of her first half marathon, running all 13.1 miles by her side.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avalone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 17, 2026. We open by breaking down Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal's claim that the Supreme Court has been "captured" by Trump supporters, using it as a launching point to walk through the constitutional distinction between the representative and judicial branches, and why judicial independence matters even when rulings are unpopular. We also dig into the underlying Justice Department opinion on executive privilege that sparked her comments. From there we run through the headlines you need to know, covering the expiration of the 60-day U.S.-Iran negotiating window, the House Ethics Committee investigation into Congressman Jimmy Gomez over alleged misconduct with a staffer, and the Supreme Court's refusal to hear President Trump's appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case. We talk about a Financial Times study finding that 10% of young Americans report zero daily face-to-face interaction, and what that says about the long tail of pandemic-era isolation. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to talk about what sets the United States apart from other countries, drawing on stories from World Cup visitors and reflecting on faith, culture, and gratitude. In Digging Deep, we look at newly declassified documents raising questions about what Nancy Pelosi knew about Eric Swalwell's ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence agent, then examine a CBS News poll on how Americans, and Democrats especially, view capitalism versus socialism. We also cover a New York legislator's defense of shoplifting as a "crime of poverty" and the property-rights case against it. Our Bright Spot highlights the nation's first detransition clinic opening at Texas Children's Hospital, and the whistleblower nurse who helped bring it about. In a Moment of Whoa, we take on the WNBA's eligibility rules and the debate Caitlyn Jenner has reignited around defining who qualifies as a woman in women's sports. We close with words of wisdom from President Calvin Coolidge on persistence and personal responsibility. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avalone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 14, 2026. We open by digging into President Trump's tongue-in-cheek claim that he might declare the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory, unpacking the international law questions, the strategic stakes of the world's busiest oil chokepoint, and why we think it's really a negotiating jab aimed at Tehran. From there we run through the headlines you need to know, covering the president's Supreme Court appeal over the White House ballroom construction dispute, Luigi Mangione's guilty plea in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and the arrest of a Massachusetts mayor on COVID relief fraud charges. We also dig into Bernie Sanders' refusal to endorse a Democratic Socialist candidate for Wisconsin governor and what that says about the limits of his own philosophy. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, join us to talk about the rise in road rage and how anonymity behind the wheel brings out the worst in people. In Digging Deep, we look at a university program offering stipends to train more physicians in abortion procedures post-Dobbs, then examine a CNN story on how data centers have transformed the small town of Quincy, Washington, funding new schools, infrastructure, and jobs. We take a moment to reflect on leadership, purpose, and why chasing approval is a losing game. Then it's time for Fake News Friday, our weekly game separating real headlines from the fake and the really fake. We close out talking about New York Times speculation that AOC's decision to freeze her eggs signals a 2028 presidential run, before sharing a moment of whoa: the story of a 97-year-old doctor who returned to his alma mater seven decades after graduating, this time to watch his granddaughter cross the same stage.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 13, 2026. We dig into why Democrats are running on impeachment instead of solutions, pointing to Massachusetts Congressman Jake Auchincloss naming impeachment of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth a midterm priority — and we lay out why that signals a party with nothing to offer on cost of living, the border, or public safety, while praising Speaker Mike Johnson's handling of misconduct without resorting to impeachment theater. We also revisit the 2018 "orange man bad" playbook and question whether it still works given Zoran Mamdani's mayoral win. In our Top 3, we cover Flock Safety's new privacy controls on license plate readers, the WNBA's decision not to change its transgender eligibility policy despite controversy from players like Sophie Cunningham, and the indictment of a former Southern Poverty Law Center finance officer accused of funneling money to hate groups. We get fired up over the vandalism at the World War II Memorial, arguing that spray-painted graffiti has no place on sacred ground honoring the 400,000 Americans who died in the war. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, tackle a listener question about whether on-screen kissing counts as cheating, running through Hollywood stories from Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger to George Strait's famous cowboy-hat kiss dodge in Pure Country. And we call out media outlets for reporting details of the Secret Service's decoy plane maneuver that got President Trump safely out of Turkey, arguing the coverage burns a tactic that could protect his life again. We go Digging Deep on solar power, questioning why the "cheapest energy in human history" still needs government subsidies while data centers building their own power plants are choosing natural gas and nuclear instead. We circle back to the WNBA to argue the transgender eligibility question shouldn't require committees and consultants, then hit a Bright Spot with wildfire acreage at its lowest since the satellite era began, the Great Barrier Reef's rebound, and a quiet Atlantic hurricane season. Border czar Tom Holman gets a shoutout for record ICE arrest numbers in June and July, and we close with a Moment of Whoa: UC Davis water polo player and lifeguard Lily Velling's rescue of three struggling swimmers at Seattle's Seafair, earning her the title of Lady Guardian of Lake Washington.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avalone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 12, 2026. We open with a legal argument that's hard to stomach: attorneys for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk are reportedly arguing that the death penalty shouldn't be on the table because their client hit exactly who he was aiming for. We dig into why that "good marksman" defense doesn't hold up, why Utah's aggravating-factor standard for capital punishment matters here, and why the shooter's own alleged written admissions make the legal argument feel especially hollow. In our Top 3 things you need to know, we cover Karoline Leavitt's announced departure as White House Press Secretary at the end of August so she can focus on her young family, a sprawling marriage fraud case out of New York involving thousands of fake marriages tied to immigration fraud, and the latest CPI numbers showing inflation ticking up just 0.1% in July even as gas prices climb back in August. From there we dig into public assistance fraud enforcement, why the states doing the least to stop it seem to have the most of it, and how fear of being labeled racist keeps some officials from confronting fraud head-on, using Nick Shirley's on-the-ground reporting in Somali immigrant communities as our jumping-off point. Our American Mama, Teri Netterville, tackles cell phone bans for kids beyond the classroom, from little league teams banning phones before games to Louisiana and Florida's in-school bans, and what the research and real-life results are showing about kids reconnecting face-to-face. Our Bright Spot celebrates Karoline Leavitt's tenure as press secretary and the choice she's making to prioritize motherhood, a decision that's anything but a step down. We dig deep into Tuesday's primary results across the country, from the South Carolina Senate runoff to fill Lindsey Graham's seat, to Wisconsin's tight governor's race, to Minnesota's Senate and governor primaries, and what each contest could mean for control of Congress this fall. We also weigh in on an Indiana Fever coach's viral comments about unity and love in the WNBA, and a second Bright Spot on musician Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik publicly defending Boy George after backlash over his song honoring October 7th victims. In our Moment of Whoa, we look at a Massachusetts proposal to create a permanent, taxpayer-funded state commission devoted to one religion, and what that means for equal treatment under the law. And we close with Words of Wisdom on standing up for what's right. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avalone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 11, 2026. We open with Chicago's murder rate compared to Florida's major cities, and ask why the same activists offended by National Guard troops in D.C. and Chicago aren't offended by the gang violence claiming lives every day — plus why Chicago's strict gun laws haven't stopped the bloodshed. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we cover Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signing a law legalizing abortion up to birth, the arrest of Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's son on child exploitation charges, and a New York judge halting Mayor Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax after the city doxxed hundreds of thousands of residents by mistake. We also dig into former CIA Director John Brennan's election interference claims and the fight over the SAVE Act. Our American Mama, Teri Netterville, joins us to talk Cam Newton's revelations about NFL players and fake COVID vaccine cards, the human cost of vaccine mandates, and why we're still waiting on apologies from the media figures who vilified people like Aaron Rodgers. We're Digging Deep this week on Massachusetts' new late-term abortion law, then pivot to Seattle, where a mix of socialism and green energy mandates is about to send electric bills up 80% over six years. Plus, Justice Samuel Alito's decision to stay on the Supreme Court, a Bright Spot on Trump savings accounts building wealth for the next generation, a Say What moment courtesy of Hillary Clinton, and a Moment of Whoa from a 13-year-old who spent 300 hours 3D-printing a wheelchair for a little girl he'd never met.

¿Cómo se sigue adelante cuando parece que nada cambia?En este episodio de A Pie de Letra, Iñaki nos presenta "Kozmic Blues" de Janis Joplin, una canción tan intensa como incómoda, nacida en una época de revoluciones, guerras y profundas transformaciones sociales.Lo que comienza como una conversación sobre el contexto de los años sesenta y el desencanto que transmite Janis, termina llevándonos a una pregunta mucho más cercana: ¿qué hacemos cuando sentimos que el mundo avanza, pero los grandes problemas siguen siendo los mismos?Hablamos del cinismo, de la protesta, de la responsabilidad individual, de la atención como el recurso más valioso de nuestra época y de aquello que vale la pena conservar aunque el mundo nunca llegue a ser como imaginamos.Y justo cuando parece que la conversación ha llegado a una conclusión, Hazel plantea una pregunta que nadie veía venir. Las respuestas no hablan de Janis Joplin, ni de los años sesenta, ni siquiera del mundo... hablan de cada uno de nosotros.Y quizá ahí se encuentre el verdadero corazón de este episodio.#apiedeletra #elpoderdelamusicaMándanos un mensaje.Agrégate nuestros playlists a tu Spotify: 'A Pie De Letra Temporada 1' y 'A Pie De Letra Temporada 2' y Temporada 3, para que nos acompañes cada semana con una nueva canción.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 10, 2026. We kick things off with Iran's audacious demand for war reparations from the United States — and President Trump's brilliant response that flips the script and opens up Iran's own record of terror funding, hostage-taking, and brutality against its own people for the world to see. Then we run through the Top 3 things you need to know: President Trump's executive order spacing out childhood vaccines and trimming the recommended schedule, the DOJ's lawsuit against New York, Connecticut, and Vermont over in-state tuition for illegal aliens, and the Pentagon renaming Joint Base Charleston to Joint Base Lindsey Graham in honor of the late senator. We dig into the disturbing pattern of violence in the WNBA, including the flagrant hit on Sophie Cunningham, and ask our American Mamas whether Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White should be allowed to play in the WNBA after applying under the league's gender rules. We break down new numbers showing marijuana use has overtaken both daily cigarette and alcohol use in America — and why that should worry us more than it does. In Digging Deep, we expose how a soft-on-crime plea deal in Maricopa County let a confessed murderer walk free, only for him to allegedly torch 700 homes in Spokane, Washington. We also cover the discovery that British Royal Navy sea drones have been caught communicating with a server in China. There's a Bright Spot in new Gallup polling showing more Americans — especially Republicans — believe parents should be married before having kids. We call out the University of Michigan for hiding freshman grades behind a pass/no-credit system that shields students from the consequences that build real character. And we close by remembering Ben Jones, the actor who played Cooter on The Dukes of Hazzard and went on to serve in Congress, who passed away this weekend at 85. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 7, 2026. We open up with a deep dive into the legal fight over President Trump's new White House ballroom, breaking down the deceptively simple question the Supreme Court may ultimately have to answer: is replacing the demolished East Wing an "improvement" to the executive residence, or is it a brand new building requiring congressional approval? We walk through the history of White House alterations, the D.C. Circuit's 2-1 ruling against the administration, and why this fight matters for presidential authority going forward. From there, we hit our Top 3 stories you need to know: Marsha Blackburn's win in the Tennessee GOP gubernatorial primary, and Tesla and SpaceX's massive joint venture to build the TeraFab chip factory in Texas. We dig into fresh Labor Department numbers showing manufacturing output and productivity are both up, pushing back on predictions that tariffs would tank American factories. Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to tackle a listener question about whether men have the right to ask their girlfriends to dress more modestly. We break down new data on the shrinking foreign-born workforce and what it means for wages and job competition for American workers, then dig deep into the new mutual defense pact between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, and what it means for a boxed-in Iran, including our take on the argument that Trump has already won the Iran war. We cover Kellogg's promise to strip artificial dyes from its cereals a year ahead of schedule, then it's time for Fake News Friday, our weekly game separating real headlines from the ones we made up ourselves. We close out with a look at the growing rift between the Democratic establishment and the Democratic Socialists of America, and Washington D.C.'s record-breaking 4th of July fireworks display.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 6, 2026. President Trump signed two executive orders targeting birth tourism and birthright citizenship — one ending the practice of foreign nationals flying in just to give birth on American soil, and another restricting citizenship documents for children of alien enemies, foreign terrorists, and commercial surrogacy arrangements. We break down what's actually in these orders, why Stephen Miller is calling birth tourism "an industry built around deception," and why we think the Supreme Court's original birthright citizenship ruling all but guarantees these orders end up in court. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we cover the Senate Homeland Security Committee's vote to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress after he pleaded the Fifth 111 times, newly uncovered documents showing 24 state attorneys general plotted lawsuits against the Trump administration a full year before he took office, and Mitch McConnell's release from a rehab facility after nearly two months out of the public eye. Nearly one-third of Democrats now openly identify as socialists, according to investigative journalist Peter Schweizer — and we dig into how the party establishment got hijacked by its far-left flank, with even Bernie Sanders declining to endorse a Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate whose platform includes canceling Thanksgiving. Our American Mama, Terri Netterville, tackles a listener question on digital dashboards versus physical buttons and knobs — with stories ranging from a Tesla-hating road trip to an unhackable 1987 Chevy truck and the rise of driverless cars. We're Digging Deep this week on the U.S. immigration court backlog, which sits at 3.5 million pending cases — down from Biden-era highs, but still requiring roughly 10,000 case resolutions a day to clear in a year. We explain why removal orders for no-shows have spiked and why ICE's work is only beginning once the courts catch up. Plus, questions swirl over Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, who hasn't been seen or heard from since the war started, and Chuck Schumer's endorsement of a Michigan Senate candidate who's publicly called for Schumer's own ouster as Democratic leader. Our Bright Spot: Argentina's President Javier Milei proposes a "fiscal shackle" law that would freeze politicians' salaries and halt federal funding to the states the moment the government runs a deficit — an idea Louis and Stephen think might just be crazy enough to work in Washington. Plus, we close with the story of a Rhode Island bake stand that was stolen — and the stranger who rebuilt it for free.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 5, 2026. Democratic Socialists of America candidates had a big night in Tuesday's primaries — especially in Michigan, where Abdul El-Sayed narrowly won the Democrat Senate nomination over Haley Stevens, and "Squad" member Rashida Tlaib fended off a primary challenge. We break down what these wins actually mean, why El-Sayed's margin was so much tighter than the polling predicted, and why we think a Medicare-for-All, defund-Israel platform is a movement wish list, not a governing blueprint. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we cover El-Sayed's win and what it means for Michigan's Senate race in November, the Senate's confirmation of Dr. Erica Schwartz to lead the CDC, and an 11th Circuit ruling upholding Florida's law banning children from sexually explicit drag shows. Where in the world is Mitch McConnell? We dig into the seven-week silence, the two still photos, and the questions nobody in D.C. seems to want to answer. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, tackle a listener question on why high achievers draw so much hate — with stories ranging from slashed tires to Elon Musk's "world's first former trillionaire" moment. We're Digging Deep this week on two fronts: a House Select Committee report warning that Chinese state-linked telecom companies still have equipment and data access inside U.S. networks, and a pair of California stories — a former far-left homeless shelter worker's public break with the movement, and San Francisco's slow climb back from the brink compared to Los Angeles' continued decline. Plus, President Trump's "don't make me pull this car over" approach to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, and Senator John Fetterman's warning to his own party about the rising influence of socialists and communists in Democratic politics. Our Bright Spot: a federal judge blocks New York's law banning ICE agents from wearing face masks, ruling the state can't dictate how federal agents do their jobs. Plus, we close with the story of a contractor who lost his tools in a lightning strike — and the nine-year-old son who tried to make it right.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 4, 2026. We kick things off with WNBA coach Cheryl Reeve's contradictory stance on gender and sports — she's all for trans inclusion on the court, but suddenly cares about protecting women's jobs when men start taking WNBA coaching positions. We break down why that logic doesn't hold up, and use Caitlin Clark's rise (and the Tiger Woods parallel) to make the case that talent, not identity, drives audiences and revenue. In the news roundup, we cover Todd Blanche's move closer to confirmation as Attorney General, the DOJ's attempt at its first-ever deportation under the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, and Hadi Matar's conviction for the attack on Salman Rushdie. Then we dig into a resurfaced story about federal funding and aborted fetal tissue research, and the policy changes under the Trump administration that have curbed it. We're joined by American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson to tackle a listener question about the risks of running an Airbnb, sharing wild stories of "teen takeover" ragers that have destroyed people's homes — and asking whether there are ever real consequences for the people responsible. For Digging Deep, we take on Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's claim that she avoids "even the appearance of bias" — made, ironically, on Michelle Obama's podcast. Then we get into the messy, headline-grabbing story of Ohio Congressman Max Miller, facing domestic violence allegations from his ex-wife (whose father is a sitting senator) as an Ohio ballot deadline looms. Plus, we look at Spain allocating millions to migrant minors while native Spanish children face deep poverty, we take a raw look at the Twin Falls, Idaho In-N-Out shooting and the armed bystander who stopped it, and we bring you the latest on Jeanine Pirro's clash with the White House.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 3, 2026. We open with New Jersey Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer saying publicly what many moderate Democrats have been thinking privately — that the Democratic Socialists of America should form their own party rather than using the Democratic Party as a vehicle for building socialist power. We explain why this is significant: the DSA is not an ordinary faction within the Democratic coalition. Its own website describes its mission as building a party designed to defeat capitalist oligarchy, draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic. It does not want to reform the Democratic Party. It wants to destroy it from within and replace it with something fundamentally different. We walk through what communism actually promises — from each according to their ability, to each according to their need — and what that has produced every single time it has been tried. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump announced he called off what he described as the biggest planned military strike since World War II after Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other Middle Eastern nations asked him to pause as they work to finalize a denuclearization deal with Iran. Then the FBI confirmed that Iranian hackers breached water systems in seven states, causing loss of pressure and flooding, and warned local utilities to disconnect control systems from the internet and ensure manual operation capability — with Minnesota alone confirming 30 targeted water systems. And Todd Blanch's path to Attorney General confirmation cleared after Senators Cornyn and Tillis said they were satisfied by the DOJ's official statement that the anti-weaponization settlement fund was dead — meaning Blanch now appears to have the votes to be confirmed. We also cover the contradiction at the heart of the Iran negotiations — where President Trump says a deal is in progress and Tehran says no negotiation is happening. We explain why this is unsurprising: the Quran permits lying to enemies, Iran has considered itself at war with the United States for nearly 50 years, and the decimation of Iran's leadership structure in the initial strikes has left multiple competing voices with no single authoritative negotiating position. We say what we believe: Trump has done as much as he can to avoid full military escalation. We're not sure it's avoidable. We also cover Zoran Mamdani's government-run grocery stores — where residents will need a special shopper's card to access 30% below-market prices — and note the delicious irony that New York City requires an ID card to buy government-subsidized groceries but calls voter ID racist. We suggest that if they called it a shopper's card at the polling place, Democrats might finally get on board. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss whether pulling over for a funeral procession is still considered basic respect — and both say yes, without hesitation. Teri shares the story of her mother, who was 13 years old when her father died and never forgot watching cars pull over and people step outside to stand at attention for a man they had never met. Kimberly shares the story of accidentally wedging herself between two limousines in a funeral procession while driving from Benton to Bossier — realized it mid-drive, and discreetly exited as quickly and apologetically as possible. The larger point: funerals aren't for the dead. They're for the living. And when strangers pull over to honor someone they never knew, the family feels it. We dig deep into the Democrat Promise to America — a document modeled on Newt Gingrich's Contract with America, produced by a Democrat congressman and circulated to all 212 House Democrats for signatures. The document says the party is capitalist, not socialist. That it wants safety, not lawlessness. That it will prioritize balancing the budget. That government should solve problems, not create them. That it embraces free speech and persuasion over purity. And that Democrats are proud, not ashamed of America. Out of 212 House Democrats, 15 signed it. Fifteen. We let that sit there. We also cover a one-mile radius in Flushing, New York — where social adult daycares have been billing Medicaid for more than $100 million per year, with storefronts shuttered and rooms empty. We connect it to the broader point that waste, fraud, and abuse in government programs are not accidents. They are incentives — what happens when bureaucracies have no accountability, no profit motive, and no one asking whether the money is actually doing any good. We also cover Capital One's motion to dismiss a lawsuit by President Trump for debanking his company after January 6th — in which Capital One's defense is that it was actually concerned about money laundering. No evidence presented. Bold strategy. For our Bright Spot, Tuskegee University has implemented a new dress code requiring students to arrive on campus in a business suit and proper shoes — as if heading to a business meeting — prohibiting bedroom slippers, bonnets, do-rags, and revealing clothing in class or the cafeteria. We make the case this is not respectability politics. It is the understanding that how you present yourself shapes how you see yourself — and that you walk differently in dress shoes than you do in sneakers. Tuskegee is preparing its students for a lifetime of success. We call it a bright spot. And we close with words of wisdom on dressing for success — from Ralph Lauren, Zig Ziglar, Susan C. Young, and Dabashish Mridha. The clothes don't make the man. But it helps if you look in the mirror and see success staring back at you. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
