You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 23, 2025. 0:30 We're sounding the alarm on China's sex warfare—a covert campaign of espionage waged through seduction, manipulation, and social media. According to new intelligence reports, the Chinese Communist Party, often in coordination with Russian operatives, is exploiting professional networks like LinkedIn to target American engineers, defense contractors, and innovators. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Democrats blocked bills today that would pay US Military members and other government employees who have been affected by the Democrat government shutdown. New York Mayor Eric Adams is endorsing former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to be the next mayor of the nation's largest city. An Illegal alien driving an 18 wheeler is being accused of killing three people. 12:30 Get Brain Reward from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

But how can an anti-semitic Hamas sympathizer be winning in a city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel? And should Curtis Sliwa stay in the race despite the polls? 17:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson. They tackle a viral comment from former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who claimed that Usha Vance—the wife of Vice President J.D. Vance—is a “prisoner who needs to be saved.” The mamas don’t hold back, calling Psaki’s remark ridiculous, bitter, and proof of lingering “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 In a moment that no one saw coming, Bernie Sanders just sounded more like Donald Trump than a democratic socialist. The self-proclaimed “godfather of the modern left”—who once hailed open borders as a moral imperative—has now admitted that Trump handled immigration better than Joe Biden. 25:00 We welcome back Ben Schettler, founder of the Center for Truth in Love, who’s taken his message of faith and reason into some of America’s most hostile environments.Following in the footsteps of the late Charlie Kirk, Shetler has been setting up open-forum booths on college campuses and in major cities—only to be met with anger, chaos, and even violence. We discuss the disturbing new normal in public discourse, where faith and facts are drowned out by emotion and intimidation. Shetler reveals evidence of paid agitators and pre-printed protest signs, raising serious questions about who’s funding the outrage. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We break down the radical sanctuary policies threatening to turn New York City into a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens. From the ICE arrests in Chinatown to Zohran Mamdani’s calls to defund the NYPD, we're seeing the growing chaos of a system that protects offenders over citizens. 36:30 Plus, King Charles III met with Pope Leo XIV in Rome—marking the first meeting between the heads of the Church of England and the Catholic Church in nearly five centuries, and that's a Bright Spot. a closer look at this extraordinary encounter, tracing it back to Henry VIII’s break from Rome and the centuries-long divide that followed. What does this moment of unity mean for Christianity today? Is it merely symbolic, or a genuine step toward reconciliation between two of the world’s largest Christian traditions? 40:30 The NBA finds itself caught in a scandal that could shake professional sports to its core. The Department of Justice says team organizations had no direct involvement—but coaches and players are now under fire for allegedly sharing insider information tied to illegal gambling rings involving the Lakers, Hornets, Trailblazers, and Raptors. Trust is the lifeblood of professional sports. Once the trust is gone... the game is gone. The NBA needs to put it's foot down and say, "Whoa."

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 23, 2025. 0:30 In a Fox News interview Congresswoman Katherine Clark, the Democratic Whip, openly admitted that a potential government shutdown gives her party “leverage.” Clark’s comments reveal the Democrats’ willingness to let American families, military workers, and small businesses suffer for political advantage—turning a crisis into a bargaining chip. 9:30 Plus we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. California Gavin Newsom wants to station the National Guard at food banks across the state of California. Former New Hampshire Senator John Sununu is running for his old seat currently held by the woman who defeated him back in 2008. The North Carolina Legislature passed new congressional maps that are designed to give Republicans one additional seat in the 2026 elections. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We talk about the Democratice Party's true motive — using American hardship as a political weapon. They hammer home that millions of Americans stand to lose access to SNAP benefits due to the shutdown, not because of fiscal necessity, but because Democrats,see suffering as opportunity. 16:30 We ask the American Mamas: Can you be Black and MAGA? Inspired by a viral video from the recent “No Kings” protest, the Mamas discuss a heated exchange between a Black Trump supporter and a white leftist protester—a confrontation that exposes the hypocrisy and racism of the modern left. Rising Black conservative voices like Wesley Hunt, Byron Donalds, and Tim Scott are proof that patriotism and principle—not political pressure—define identity. Yet, these leaders are vilified instead of celebrated simply because they stand on the right. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:30 We react to Chuck Schumer's latest attempt to spin the ongoing government shutdown. Schumer blasted the continued construction of the new White House ballroom as proof of misplaced priorities—tweeting, “Yes to ballrooms, no to healthcare for Americans.” 25:30 And we Dig Deep into a new Breitbart article about Leah Thomas, the former University of Pennsylvania swimmer who continues to defend taking titles from female athletes. Quoting Thomas’s recent PBS interview—“It’s easier to fight the world than to fight yourself”—we unpack the deeper moral and cultural implications behind that statement. Thomas’s mindset reveals a wider spiritual and societal problem—a refusal to confront inner struggle and personal responsibility. The transgender movement’s rejection of self-discipline and truth—and giving in to confusion or pain rather than confronting it—leads to broader harm. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We dive into escalating tensions between the United States and Russia following the Trump administration’s latest sanctions announcement. With a planned Trump - Putin meeting in Hungary canceled, we see signs of a deepening rift—and a new phase of instability in U.S.–Russia relations. 36:00 Plus, Japan elected it's first female prime minister, Sanae Takeuchi. And that's a Bright Spot, not because she's a woman, but because she's a conservative. Takeuchi brings experience and a bold vision shaped by her mentor, the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and her admiration for Margaret Thatcher, whom she calls her political role model. Her speeches—emphasizing sovereignty, national pride, and family values—remind us of President Donald Trump, who is inspiring a new generation of unapologetically patriotic and conservative leaders around the world. 40:30 Once seen as the heir apparent to lead the Democratic Party, Gavin Newsom now finds himself trailing Kamala Harris by double digits. The poll reflects a deeper problem within the Democratic bench: a lack of fresh leadership and coherent vision. The party is stale, and they've got to have someone else that is going to step forward. Or the American people are just going to say, "Whoa."

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 21, 2025. 0:30 We unpack the outrage over President Trump’s renovation of the White House ballroom — a story the left has spun into claims that he’s “bulldozing history.” Have they forgotten that every president has updated the White House—from Teddy Roosevelt’s West Wing to Nixon’s press room and Obama’s basketball court? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. A new report says not only did FEMA discriminate against Republicans and Trump supporters during the 2024 election, but has been discriminating against Republicans struck by disasters since at least 2021. The House Judicial committee referred former CIA director John Brennan to the Department of Justice for a criminal indictment, accusing Brennan of lying to Congress during his testimony on May 11, 2023 about the Russian Collusion Hoax. The US and Australia signed a rare earth mining agreement worth $8.5 billion in mining projects, including building a gallium refinery in western Australia. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We're seeing record deportation numbers under President Trump. While roughly half a million illegal immigrants were forcibly removed, 1.6 million chose to self-deport — proof of Trump’s effective and efficient approach to immigration enforcement. 17:00 And we ask the American Mamas—Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson— if they are going to read Karine Jean-Pierre's new book. The Mamas unpack Jean-Pierre’s media tour and the backlash that followed her “broken White House” claim. But there is a contradiction — Jean-Pierre served under Biden, yet insists the “broken” White House refers to Trump’s term. The Mamas also highlight her repeated references to race and sexuality in interviews, suggesting that identity, not merit, defined her tenure as press secretary. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We take a look at Colombian President Gustavo Petro's demand for Donald Trump’s removal from office. Colombia has long benefited from billions in U.S. aid, trade, and military support, only to now criticize the very policies protecting America’s borders and curbing the drug trade. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the media’s backlash to the new Pentagon press rules issued by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth — and we aren't buying the outrage. The updates, effective October 15th, include tighter restrictions on journalist movement inside the Pentagon, new escort requirements, U.S.-citizen-only press badges, and enforcement of long-standing rules against unauthorized information release. While major outlets walked out in protest — calling the policy “dictatorial” — these are common-sense security measures, no different from those in schools or corporate buildings. So what is the media really so upset about? 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 There is a growing culture of quitting in America. Reporters are walking out of the Pentagon over new press rules and celebrities are vowing to leave the U.S. whenever elections don’t go their way. But perseverance — not retreat — is fundamental to the American spirit, and walking away in protest reflects the victim mindset on the left. 36:30 We just had another round of the "No Kings" protests, but we don't have anyone who's trying to become king in American. And that's a Bright Spot. The "No Kings" movement misses a fundamental truth: America was deliberately built to reject kingship altogether. The Founding Fathers saw monarchy as the root of tyranny and believed power should rest with ordinary citizens, not elites or hereditary rulers. 40:30 Socialist Zohran Mamdani is leading candidate in New York City's mayoral race. Curtis Sliwa faces mounting pressure to drop out, but he is saying "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with construction on the Pantheon in Greece.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 20, 2025. 0:30 We break down a major ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals — one that upholds President Trump’s authority to deploy the National Guard to restore order in lawless cities like Portland. Once mocked as the Ninth Circus for its liberal rulings, the court now features Trump-appointed judges who have brought a dose of constitutional sanity back to the bench. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump announced over the weekend he was cutting off all US foreign aid to the nation of Columbia. The state of Florida is suing California and Washington for issuing drivers licenses to illegal aliens. Starting today, money is running out to fund various federal courts across the country. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

While the media downplays it as a “hunting stand,” the setup — positioned near the airport with a clear line of sight to where President Trump exits the plane — looks far too deliberate to dismiss. 16:30 And we ask the American Mamas about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's now-viral “No Fatties” speech. The Mamas debate whether Hegseth’s fiery address was rehearsed for social media or a genuine challenge to the armed forces, but they agree on one thing: the message struck a chord. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:30 Thanks to immigration enforcement under President Trump, more than two million illegal aliens have been deported or have voluntarily departed since he took office. Seven in ten of those deported reportedly had criminal convictions or pending charges. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the growing tension inside CBS News after Paramount appointed Bari Weiss—the outspoken journalist and founder of The Free Press—as head of the network’s news division. Her arrival has shaken up the newsroom, where longtime reporters reportedly bristled at her challenge: “Why does the country think you’re biased?” 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We turn our focus to the New York City mayoral race, where Zoran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist with open admiration for Marxist ideals, is leading the polls. With Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa trailing far behind, we wrestle with a question that’s both political and moral: Do we really get what we deserve? 36:30 Plus, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld President Trump’s authority to deploy the National Guard to U.S. cities, and that's a Bright Spot. This isn't just a victory or Trump, but a restoration of constitutional balance between the executive branch and the courts. For years federal judges have tried to restrict Republican presidents from enforcing the law, but this decision signals a shift back toward executive responsibility. 40:30 Clinton-era strategist James Carville is sounding more like a conservative than a Democrat. Carville recently blasted politicians who support letting men compete in women’s sports, accusing them of pandering to what he calls “left-wing zombies” and destroying the dignity and dreams of female athletes. Even Carville sees how the American People are rejecting the Democrat Party, and he's saying, "Whoa!"

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 16, 2025. 0:30 We take a look at Hillary Clinton. She is calling on Americans to “push back on Trump’s power grabs” and join the so-called No Kings protest. The irony isn’t lost on us — no one has acted more like political royalty than the Clintons themselves. From renting out the Lincoln Bedroom to treating the presidency like a family heirloom, Hillary’s long been the face America’s “political aristocracy.” 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Governor Jeff Landry today called for a special session of the Louisiana Legislature. Classes at Bossier Parish Community College were canceled today after police conducted a manhunt for a suspect on campus.

We recall how the brand went “woke” in 2021, pivoting from its iconic Angels to a lineup meant to highlight achievement and diversity—fronted by Megan Rapinoe. Now, with the 2025 show bringing back the supermodel aesthetic, it looks like Victoria’s Secret has rediscovered what made it a cultural powerhouse: celebrating classic femininity, beauty, and confidence.

Based on Jonathan Cahn’s book of the same name, D’Souza’s film explores the spiritual and historical forces shaping the Middle East, drawing striking parallels between ancient battles and contemporary conflicts. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

It's such a Bright Spot, that the best place to live as a socialist is in a capitalist country. Capitalism's defining strength is freedom of choice—including the freedom to live by socialist ideals if you so choose. From the Uber driver who owns their own car to the entrepreneur building a shared company, capitalism makes voluntary socialism possible—without government force. 40:30 10 high schools in California are forfeiting their girls volleyball games. Why? One team has a male player who left one promising female athlete with a career-ending concussion. These schools are not saying why they are forfeiting. The only thing that they're telling the other team is, "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about socialism.

Have America’s efforts to “fix” racism through legislation—like the Voting Rights Act and redistricting—gone too far? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. A judge in San Francisco has placed another universal injunction on President Trump, this time over firing government workers during the government shutdown. The Supreme Court heard arguments today in a Louisiana redistricting case that could drastically alter the balance of power in the House of Representatives, and change how congressional districts are drawn at the state level.

That's exactly what’s happening when New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani calls for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 25:30 We Dig Deep into a new report from the Center for Heterodox Social Science that shows that trans and queer identification among college students has nearly cut in half since 2023. The trend exposes the social — not biological — roots of gender ideology, pointing to lockdown-era isolation, TikTok influence, and a mental-health crisis among teens. From “social contagion” to cultural correction, we wonder if Gen Z is quietly walking away from one of the most aggressive social experiments in modern history. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

It gained momentum after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Bible sales, religious app downloads, and Christian music streaming are all on the rise, and long-time believers and newcomers alike are posting online about returning to church, seeking community, and finding renewed faith. 40:30 Barack Obama is supporting California Governor Gavin Newsom and accusing Republicans of wanting to steal seats. Yet California is one of the most, if not the most, gerrymandered state in the country. And Barack Obama wants you to think that it's the Republicans that are trying to steal the election?

From Afghanistan to Israel, from Operation Warp Speed to diplomatic déjà vu, we dive into the pattern of political plagiarism from the Biden administration. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump awarded the Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk, a month and a half after his assassination in Utah. Maine's Governor, Democrat Janet Mills announced she's running for U.S. Senate.

We Dig Deep into just how “grassroots” these rallies really are — and who’s footing the bill. From recycled George Floyd-era protest tactics to reports of bail funds and arson chatter, the movement isn’t about rejecting monarchy at all — it’s about rejecting democracy. But the timing may be the biggest twist: internal documents suggest Democrats could be prolonging the government shutdown just long enough to stage-manage these rallies, complete with furloughed federal workers as props. 32:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

We break down how federal investigators linked the suspect — a 29-year-old local with a history of threats and instability — to one of the most destructive wildfires in U.S. history. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

The discussion explores how these policies could reshape New York’s economy and why critics say they would push the city further toward socialism. 25:30 We sit down with Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee for mayor of New York City and founder of the Guardian Angels, to talk about his decades-long fight to restore public safety and common sense to the Big Apple. Sliwa shares his firsthand experience patrolling the streets since the 1970s, reflects on how civic education has vanished from schools, and warns against the rise of socialist “free everything” policies championed by his opponent. From tackling fare evasion and crime to restoring accountability and respect for law enforcement, Sliwa lays out his vision for a safer, more responsible New York. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

They discuss how the mainstream left excuses cruelty when aimed at conservatives, why true compassion requires consistency, and what this moment says about America’s cultural divide. 36:30 Plus, a new Harvard Harris poll shows rising approval ratings for Republicans, and that's a Bright Spot. We break down the latest approval ratings showing Charlie Kirk (+16) and Erica Kirk (+14) leading the nation, with Republicans dominating the only positive approval scores in America.

We dig into why Americans are rallying behind authentic leaders who take a stand, not politicians who chase headlines. From RFK Jr. to Mike Johnson, it’s about conviction over calculation, and why voters are tired of finger-to-the-wind politics. 40:30 We react to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s controversial response when asked whether an undocumented immigrant who committed a violent crime should be deported. Johnson’s refusal to answer will make you say, "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with a couple's vacation to Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 8, 2025. We are broadcasting to you from the studios of AM970 The Answer from the Salem Media Network in New York City. 0:30 We dive into New York’s rising socialist movement and the mayoral ambitions of Zoran Mamdani, the self-proclaimed “Democratic Socialist” candidate who wants to freeze rents, eliminate the NYPD, and replace them with a Department of Community Safety. We break down how Mamdani’s proposals — from city-owned grocery stores to free public transit — would reshape the economy, housing, and public safety across the five boroughs. From rent control’s failed history to the growing theft crisis in New York pharmacies, we explore what happens when ideology replaces practicality — and why capitalism and personal responsibility remain essential to America’s success. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. James Comey, the former head of the FBI, pled not guilty today in a court in Alexandria, Virginia. Republicans in the US Senate were able to pass through more than 100 confirmations for President Trump's administraton. The state of Kentucky is suing the online gaming platform Roblox. 12:30 Get 20 % off Brain Reward when you go to vni.live.agr and use the promo code agr20. 13:30 Tensions rise as Russia warns of “irreparable damage” to U.S.–Russian relations following the United States’ decision to send Tomahawk missiles to Kiev. We unpack the latest developments in the Russia–Ukraine conflict and discuss what this means for U.S. diplomacy, global stability, and the Trump administration’s foreign policy strategy. 16:30 Our American Mamas — Terry Nettelville and Kimberly Burleson — react to reports that Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are headed for divorce. The mamas unpack why this celebrity breakup has struck a chord with so many fans and explore the deeper issues behind high-profile relationships. From balancing fame and family to the emotional toll of on-screen intimacy and time apart, the conversation turns candid and relatable. Are Hollywood marriages doomed by distance and demanding careers? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Sen. Paul says tariffs are “killing” industries like family farming, bourbon production, and cargo transport, but we take a deeper look at whether that pain is temporary — and perhaps even necessary. Are tariffs the economic medicine America needs after decades of free trade deals that hollowed out U.S. manufacturing? 26:30 We Dig Deep into new revelations about Joe Biden’s corruption during his time as vice president — and the media’s continued silence about it. Leaked and recently declassified emails suggest that Biden intervened to suppress a CIA report that detailed his 2015 trip to Ukraine — the same trip where he allegedly pressured officials to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma, the energy company tied to his son, Hunter Biden. We break down what the CIA called “evidence of a double standard” in U.S. corruption policy and how Biden’s actions may have crossed the line from politics to personal gain. 32:30 Go to vni.life/AGR today and use the code AGR20 for 20% off of NSorb. 33:30 After receiving a street pamphlet calling to “End the Chinese Communist Party,” we discuss the dangers of communism, both abroad and at home. From China and Cuba to New York City’s own socialist mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani, the hosts argue that communism destroys prosperity, freedom, and human potential — replacing opportunity with control and equality with enforced poverty. 36:30 Plus, the iconic Sharpie marker is now made almost entirely in the USA, thanks to a major investment by Newell Brands in their Tennessee manufacturing plant, and that's a Bright Spot. This isn’t just about a pen. It’s about American craftsmanship, self-reliance, and proving that Made in the USA still pays off. We break down how Sharpie’s story symbolizes a broader shift toward onshoring — as more companies rediscover the value of investing in American workers instead of outsourcing abroad. 40:30 And we finish off with a dog that will make you say, "Whoa!"

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 2, 2025. 0:30 For decades, Mexico wagged its finger at the U.S., joining Democrats and open-border activists in calling Americans “racist” and “xenophobic” for wanting secure borders. But now the tables have turned. A caravan of over a thousand migrants—Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and more—has set its sights not on Texas, but on Mexico City. We break down the irony: migrants demanding jobs, housing, and welfare in Mexico after years of Mexico enabling caravans to march north through their country. From remittance dollars fueling Mexico’s economy to the cartels profiting from human misery, we explain why Mexico is now paying the price for decades of exporting illegal immigration. 9:55 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Federal Government Shutdown continued today, and may continue through the weekend. The National Guard is helping police arrest dozens of criminals in Memphis, Tennessee. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien accused of human trafficking who was falsely called a Maryland Dad by the media has lost his final appeal in court. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 This week, CNN did something it never seems to do to Democrats: it cut off House Speaker Mike Johnson live on air—right as he was explaining why the government shut down. Johnson was accusing Senate Democrats of rejecting a “clean” continuing resolution and demanding taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants. CNN quickly interrupted him, “fact-checking” the claim in real time and moving back to its New York studio. When was the last time CNN cut off Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi mid-sentence to “correct” them? 16:30 We ask the American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about the leftist who refused to hire a man because he support President Donald Trump. The Mamas to the viral video of the Texas business owner who proudly declared he would never hire a Trump supporter, and they unpack his claims about “resisting oppression,” refusing service, and comparing conservative beliefs to hate speech. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We pull back the curtain on the Hollywood–Wall Street complex — the entertainment elites who believe they can flood your living room with leftist propaganda without consequence. We zero in on Netflix, the streaming giant that's pushing inappropriate, hyper-edgy content and even “grooming” kids with shows aimed at very young audiences. Netflix is losing customers and their stock is plummeting. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the ongoing government shutdown and the real reason behind it that big media doesn’t want you to know. While CNN, MSNBC, and other outlets insist Democrats aren’t pushing healthcare for illegal immigrants, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report tells a very different story. 32:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

Malta's residency programme: A bright spot in Europe's shrinking visa landscape - Sarah Young

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 3, 2025 13:45


In recent years, numerous European countries have begun to phase out or significantly modify their golden visa programmes. This shift is primarily driven by concerns over housing affordability, money laundering, and the need for stricter immigration controls. Following a European court ruling, Malta was compelled to close its golden passport scheme. However, recent revisions to its Permanent Residence Programme (PRP) now present attractive pathways for investors. In an interview with BizNews, Sarah Young from Sable International highlighted that Malta's PRP offers lifetime residency for a €500,000 investment, with the added benefit that investors can earn rental income from properties purchased. She also noted that this programme features a faster residency process with lower costs. For South Africans seeking warmth and sunshine, Malta stands out as a desirable year-round destination, especially since English is one of its official languages.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 1, 2025. 0:30 In a massive Illinois ICE operation called Operation Midway Blitz, over 800 illegal alien criminals were arrested in one coordinated sweep.These weren’t first-time visa overstays. We’re talking about gang members, drug traffickers, sexual predators, and violent offenders—people no community should be forced to live next to. Yet, thanks to Illinois’ sanctuary policies, these criminals were shielded from removal until federal agents stepped in. We break down the operation and why the stakes are so high for Americans and our safety. 9:44 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Democrats voted to shut down the Federal Government last night, repeatedly voting against passing a continuing resolution to keep the government funded through November 7th. The Trump administration is suing LA County in California for violating the 2nd Amendment. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services department announced the results of Operation Twin Shield. 12:30 Get Brain Reward from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We unpack the new American Pope's criticism of President Donald Trump where he suggested that enforcing immigration laws is somehow at odds with being pro-life. We also dive into the controversy surrounding the Archdiocese of Chicago honoring Senator Dick Durbin, a Catholic politician who openly supports abortion, with a “lifetime achievement award.” 16:30 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about parents who put their kids in travel sports. Are they just living vicariously through their kids? Our American Mamas say there’s a lot more to the story. From the sacrifices families make, to the friendships built on the road, to the competitive edge required just to make a Texas high school team, travel sports can be a pathway to scholarships, memories, and life lessons. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 In Memphis, President Trump has deployed the National Guard alongside federal agents—working with Tennessee’s Republican Governor Bill Lee—to crack down on violent crime. Within just 48 hours, the operation led to 53 arrests and 20 illegal guns seized. But instead of welcoming the results, Democrats remain silent—or outright protest. Why? We break down why the left won’t credit Trump’s actions, the political games behind crime and safety, and how real families in Memphis are the ones who stand to benefit. 26:45 New voter registration data from Decision Desk HQ reveals a stunning shift: since Election Day last year, over 2.1 million names have been purged from U.S. voter rolls. We Dig Deep into what the numbers really mean, why voter roll maintenance matters, and how the push for automatic registration could be fueling fraudulent enrollments. We also examine why Democrats resist voter ID laws, the risks to election integrity, and how trust in the system erodes when the numbers don’t add up. 32:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 The Biden-era green agenda just took a major hit — and it’s Democrats’ own fault. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has announced the cancellation of $8 billion in green energy funding, wiping out a huge chunk of what critics call “slush funds for climate activists.” Democrats refused to pass a continuing resolution, betting that a government shutdown would hurt Republicans and President Trump politically. Instead, OMB Director Russ Vought wielded the budget axe — and the cuts landed squarely on the Green New Deal. 36:35 Plus, having a sense of purpose may protect your brain health, and that's a Bright Spot. In new study in the Journal of Geriatric Psychology, researchers found that people who felt their lives had meaning were less likely to develop dementia or Alzheimer’s even if they carried the APOE4 gene, a major risk factor. 40:30 Massive immigration raids are underway in Chicago, and former ICE Director Tom Homan says the strategy is simple: target the cities that resist federal immigration enforcement the most. From Los Angeles to Chicago, so-called “sanctuary cities” have become magnets for illegal immigration, gangs, and crime—and Tom Homan is saying "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with a school community who came together to support their school's security guard.

Calling it “another liberation day,” Hegseth declared an end to DEI mandates and political correctness in the armed forces—reminding us that America needs warriors prepared to win wars, not generals bogged down by woke ideology. 9:48 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump announced a deal with Pfizer that is expected to lower some drug costs for Americans. YouTube has agreed to pay millions of dollars to settle a lawsuit by President Trump. The Department of Justice is suing the state of Minnesota over its sanctuary city policies. 12:26 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

How does someone with his background pass vetting for such a high-profile position? 16:44 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about their baseline happiness.

Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:40 We look at the increasingly volatile role Candace Owens is playing in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Owens has publicly questioned whether video evidence in the case has been doctored, claiming she’s spoken with the suspect’s family and that there are inconsistencies in the publicly released footage. Is she raising legitimate doubts—or fueling conspiracy without proof? 36:33 Plus, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called in the top generals and admirals from all over the world for a conference to tell them it's time to shape up, and that's a Bright Spot. Hegseth made it clear: it’s time to raise the bar on physical readiness, enforce real height and weight standards, and hold leaders accountable to the same fitness expectations as new recruits. 40:41 American support for Israel is plummeting, but it remains largely steady among Republicans. The Democrat party as a whole is becoming more pro-Hamas, and at some point we just have to say, "Whoa!" 42:23 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about excellence.

But could this shutdown be the opportunity that President Trump has been waiting for? 9:58 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.

Fetterman stands out for refusing to label Republicans as Nazis or fascists and advocating for civil discourse. From supporting Israel and denouncing terrorism to urging negotiation over government shutdowns, Fetterman’s pragmatic approach offers a rare example of independent thinking within the Democratic Party. 40:40 Chinese immigration has skyrocketed in Mexico, pushing out Mexican businesses, and China is trying to do the same in the US.
