You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 3, 2025. 0:30 We unpack the controversy out of Dearborn, Michigan, where Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told a Christian resident he was “not welcome” in the city after objecting to a street being renamed for a man who once praised Hezbollah. We break down the mayor’s remarks, the misuse of the term “Islamophobe,” and what this moment says about free speech, civic respect, and the growing confusion between disagreement and hate. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the Federal Government spent less money in 2025 than it did in 2024. Some details are finally coming out about the alleged Halloween Terror Plot in Michigan.The FBI filed a 73 page complaint in court against 2 men under the age of 21 and a teenager. Tomorrow is election day in several states across the country.New York City will be selecting a new mayor, and most polls say communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani will win easily. 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 take a hard look at what it means to be American in 2025 — and whether today’s immigration policies are helping or hurting the nation’s civic fabric. From nostalgia for Ellis Island to sharp criticism of mass resettlement policies, assimilation and shared civic norms — including pledging allegiance to the Republic — are non-negotiable for national unity. 16:00 The American Mamas are back together! After a wild stretch of floods, car troubles, and chaos, Kimberly Burleson rejoins Teri Netterville for a candid and fiery conversation about boundaries, truth, and common sense in a world that seems to have lost all three. In this episode, the Mamas share a surprising story about a massage appointment gone wrong — when “preference” meets “policy” and customer comfort gets dismissed in the name of virtue signaling. They also unpack Glamour UK’s controversial “Women of the Year” cover featuring transgender models and ask: how far can society bend reality before it breaks? 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 dive into actor George Clooney’s surprising reversal — admitting that Democrats made a mistake pushing Joe Biden aside for Kamala Harris during the 2024 election. 26:00 We Dig Deep into another glaring example of failure under the Biden administration — a 54% surge in SNAP (food stamp) spending, now topping $120 billion a year. We unpack new revelations from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, who says an internal review uncovered thousands of cases of EBT card fraud — from duplicate benefits across states to payments to the deceased. Even more alarming? Twenty-one states — nearly all Democrat-run — refused to share their data, with several even suing the federal government for asking where the money went. We contrast the left’s “compassion equals more checks” philosophy with a conservative vision of empowerment and accountability. True compassion lifts people up rather than locking them into dependence. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 After nearly forty years in Congress, Nancy Pelosi is reportedly preparing to step away from politics — announcing she won’t seek re-election in 2026. We reflect on Pelosi’s legacy — from her two Trump impeachments and dramatic moments on the House floor to her role in deepening partisan division. 36:00 Plus, the U.S. Navy has manager 273 nuclear reactors over 6,200 reactor-years and 177 million miles — all with zero accidents, zero injuries, and zero environmental pollution, and that's a Bright Spot. 40:30 Violence continues in Chicago. Over Halloween weekend alone, at least 23 people were shot across the city. As President Trump calls to deploy the National Guard to restore order, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and federal courts have resisted — even as the Supreme Court signals growing concern. The people of Chicago will continue to suffer so long as they continue to vote for Democrats who hate Donald Trump. It's time for somebody to step up and say, "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with Scott Johnson, a STEAM teacher at Red Cross Elementary in Kentucky, whose creativity and compassion changed a young boy’s life.

À la Une: un test grandeur nature pour les démocrates aux États-Unis

Jour d'élection mardi 4 novembre en Amérique : « un an après la réélection de Trump à la présidence, les électeurs se rendent aux urnes », pointe le Washington Post, pour plusieurs scrutins. Notamment pour le poste de gouverneur en Virginie et dans le New Jersey et pour les municipales à New York. « Les démocrates, qui sont en tête dans plusieurs sondages, espèrent que ces élections marqueront une défaite cinglante pour Trump », relève le Post. À New York, on pouvait voter par anticipation. Un vote anticipé qui s'est achevé hier soir avec « au total plus de 735 000 bulletins », note le New York Times. Et avec une forte progression du nombre de jeunes électeurs, moins de 35 ans. Un vote qui pourrait profiter à Zohran Mamdani, déjà largement en tête dans les derniers sondages. Mamdani : un « socialiste démocratique » Libération à Paris consacre un long portrait à ce nouveau venu sur la scène politique américaine : « Mamdani, 34 ans, élu “socialiste démocratique“ du Queens, naturalisé américain en 2018, pourrait devenir demain mardi le premier maire musulman de la plus grande ville des États-Unis. Presque 25 ans après le 11-Septembre, dans le temple du capitalisme mondial, cela ressemble à une révolution, s'exclame Libération. D'autant plus incroyable que le trentenaire n'était crédité que de 1 % des intentions de vote l'an passé lorsqu'il a démarré sa campagne pour la primaire démocrate. Il l'a finalement gagnée haut la main, fort d'une utilisation fine des réseaux sociaux et d'une stratégie politique résolument tournée vers le terrain. (…) Un an presque jour pour jour après l'élection de Donald Trump pour un second mandat, face à un Parti démocrate moribond, l'éventuel succès de Zohran Mamdani serait aussi celui d'une promesse, pointe encore Libération : celle de tenir tête au milliardaire républicain. » New York : ville de tous les paradoxes Alors suspense, pointe le New York Times : « les élections municipales de demain, qui s'annoncent explosive, semblent sur le point de bouleverser les structures de pouvoir établies de longue date dans une ville qui, bien souvent, donne le ton politique, culturel et financier bien au-delà de ses limites géographiques. » Paradoxe, souligne le New York Times, « la capitale du monde capitaliste est désormais l'épicentre d'une rébellion socialiste, avec comme thème central l'accessibilité au logement, la question de savoir qui a le droit de vivre dans le New York qui a vu naître à la fois les financiers de Wall Street et les contestataires du mouvement Occupy Wall Street — et où l'on trouve aujourd'hui des anciens et des figures emblématiques des deux camps qui affirment de manière crédible que l'avenir leur appartient. » Autre paradoxe : « la ville symbole de l'immigration aux États-Unis est désormais un lieu où de nombreux étrangers se sentent de plus en plus menacés, sur le qui-vive, face à la présence des agents fédéraux de l'immigration, dont le siège est situé à environ un kilomètre à vol d'oiseau des ferries pour Liberty Island et Ellis Island, lieux emblématiques de l'arrivée des migrants. » Enfin, relève encore le New York Times, « la ville du 11-Septembre et de l'après-11-Septembre, avec toutes ses peurs, sa recherche d'unité et sa méfiance envers l'islam, est sur le point d'élire son premier maire musulman, une perspective qui à la fois enthousiasme et stupéfie les nombreuses communautés musulmanes politiquement influentes de New York. » Quelle voie pour les démocrates ? Alors, certes, pointe le Wall Street Journal, « les démocrates partent favoris demain pour reconquérir le poste de gouverneur de Virginie, conserver celui de gouverneur du New Jersey et pour s'emparer de la mairie de New York. Mais, même s'ils l'emportent, ils se réveilleront avec de sérieux maux de tête politiques. » Car, « ces victoires électorales ne suffiront pas à apaiser les troubles d'un parti divisé. » Avec cette question centrale, relève le quotidien financier : « les démocrates doivent-ils être plus modérés ou plus progressistes s'ils veulent gagner les élections de mi-mandat de l'année prochaine et au-delà ? »

Über den aktuellen Umgang der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika mit sogenannten illegalen Einwanderern ist alles gesagt. Land of the Free, entnehmen wir den Hamburger Nachrichten vom 16. Oktober 1925, waren die USA indes auch schon vor einhundert Jahren längst nicht mehr für alle, die es an ihre Gestade geschafft hatten. Wer ohne gültige Papiere ankam, musste zwar nicht fürchten, in einem brutalen Abschiebeknast in einem Drittland zu landen; die Freiheitsstatue sahen er oder sie jedoch zumeist nur von Ferne, bevor sie wieder zurück in den Ausgangshafen geschifft wurden. Dass viele es offenbar trotzdem versuchten und dabei ähnlich hohe Risiken eingingen wie jene, die sich heute auf den gefährlichen Weg über das Mittelmeer machen, beschreibt der Autor Gerd-Rudolf Bachmann in einem Text, der nichts für sensible Gemüter ist und den für uns Frank Riede liest.

America saw a significant reverse-migration in the 1800s and 1900s, with 20–50% of Italian immigrants returning to Italy as ritornati and tens of thousands of Americans, including ideologues and workers, moving to Germany, Italy, and the USSR in the 1930s seeking political or economic opportunities. Some of these American expatriates were drawn to revolutionary movements in Europe and Asia, blending idealism with political activism Today’s guest is David Mayers, author of Seekers and Partisans: Americans Abroad in the Crisis Years, 1935–1941. We discuss alienated Americans who went abroad during the interwar years in search of a new home and/or to further deeply personal causes. They include John Robinson, a black aviator who in 1935 led the Ethiopian air force against the Italian invasion; Agnes Smedley, who joined the Chinese communists during the Sino-Japanese war; Helen Keller, an advocate of the seeing- and hearing-impaired; Ezra Pound, a lauded poet who championed Mussolini; and Anna Louise Strong, drawn to Stalin's USSR.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for September 30, 2025. 0:30 We break down Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s address to military leadership. 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. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13: 42 We dive into the case of the former Des Moines, Iowa, superintendent of schools who was arrested by ICE. He had been voting illegally in Maryland while running a school district in Iowa. 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. And they share how their upbringing helps them stay optimistic even when life gets difficult. 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. 23:05 We talk about the announcement of President Trump’s new presidential library in Miami, Florida—set to be built next to the historic Freedom Tower, often called the “Ellis Island of the South.” We explore the symbolism of that location, the history of the tower as a beacon for Cuban exiles fleeing Castro’s regime, and the unique way this library will be funded. 25:36 We Dig Deep into a jaw-dropping story about stolen electronics, cross-country chases, and truck drivers with driver’s licenses that literally read “No Name Given.” From California to New York, blue states are issuing commercial driver’s licenses — even REAL IDs — to people with incomplete or fraudulent identities, and those drivers are hitting America’s highways. We break down how this happens, why it’s dangerous, and what it means for border security, state sovereignty, and the rule of law. 32:01 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. 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.

Comedian Jordan Carlos joins Ophira Eisenberg to talk about parenting two kids with very different personalities—his 10-year-old daughter, a perfectionist baker supplied with Costco-sized vanilla extract, and his six-year-old son, who polices Halloween candy wrappers with post-it notes. Jordan shares how his daughter's three grandmothers got her hooked on baking, and how his son's sharp eye caught him sneaking Whoppers late at night. The conversation moves into the emotional leap from age eight to ten, the Simon & Garfunkel “Hello Darkness” phase, and balancing attention between siblings. Jordan also compares Black and White Thanksgivings—Dallas versus New Hampshire—while marveling at his in-laws' quiet avoidance of conflict. He tells a wild story about losing his wallet while paddle boating on Governor's Island, diving into the muck to retrieve it as his son scolded him for swearing. From babysitters drinking beer on the job to a childhood broken arm he let heal on its own out of fear of getting in trouble, Jordan reflects on rule-following, parenting negotiations, and the strange privileges kids have today. The episode ends with Jordan imagining how much more his kids might care about U.S. history if Taylor Swift told the story of Ellis Island.

Family stories have a way of becoming family legends, and one of the most common you'll hear in genealogical circles is this: “Our ancestor came through Ellis Island, and the clerks changed the family name because they couldn't spell it.” It's dramatic, almost cinematic. Imagine the scene—ships crowding New York Harbor, weary travelers clutching suitcases, and an impatient official scribbling down a “new” surname that forever altered the family's story. But here's the reality: Ellis Island clerks did not change names. The truth is both less theatrical and more interesting, because it says something important about how myths form, how families adapt, and where the real records are hiding...

1. "Plentiful Country, The Great Potato Famine and the Making of Irish New York" by Professor Tyler Anbinder details the experiences of famine Irish immigrants who arrived in New York between 1845 and 1850, highlighting their journey from hardship to significant socioeconomic advancement. A primary source for this account is the extensive records of the Immigrant Savings Bank. Unlike other immigrant records, such as those from Castle Garden and early Ellis Island, which were lost to fire, these "test books" captured detailed biographical information—including names, occupations, mother's maiden names, family members, and arrival details—used as a security measure in the absence of photo IDs. This data enabled the author to trace individual immigrant stories. The narrative begins with the devastating Great Potato Famine in Ireland, caused by a fungus that thrived in the cool, damp climate, destroying the staple crop on which much of the population depended. Fleeing starvation, many, often the strongest, endured perilous voyages. They frequently traveled through Liverpool, England, to access cheaper passage, only to face overcrowded and disease-ridden "coffin ships" across the Atlantic, where typhus and cholera were common. Arrival in New York was typically unceremonious, with immigrants disembarking directly onto docks before Castle Garden became a central reception point. Upon arrival, many Irish immigrants, like Bartholomew O'Donnell, initially found work as day laborers, often in physically demanding construction jobs in impoverished areas such as Five Points and its infamous Old Brewery. They also faced significant prejudice rooted in their Catholicism and racial stereotypes, exemplified by "no Irish need apply" notices and movements like the Know Nothing Party. Despite these challenges, the Irish displayed remarkable ambition, determination, and entrepreneurial spirit. They were diligent savers, motivated by the psychological scars of the famine to establish emergency funds in banks. The book provides numerous examples of their success: Captain James Kavanagh of the 69th Regiment (Irish Brigade) fought heroically in the Civil War, later finding a civil service position. The Lynches saved for a decade before moving west to become successful farmers in Minnesota, founding Irish communities. The Ruddics, after missing the gold rush in California, became landlords and real estate investors in San Francisco. Michael Quigley built a thriving boat business in New York Harbor, which his son Bill Quigley successfully continued. Tailor George Fox rose to prominence through savvy marketing, even creating clothes for figures like President Millard Fillmore. Most notably, Michael Failen, a billiards champion, and his son-in-law Hugh Colander patented an improved pool table cushion, mass-produced their high-quality tables, and became wealthy, even supplying President Ulysses S. Grant with a custom table. Anbinder's most significant discovery was the extent to which these famine Irish, often portrayed as permanently stuck in low-wage jobs, actively overcame discrimination and lack of education to climb the socioeconomic ladder through their immense resourcefulness and entrepreneurial drive. 1859 FIVE POINTS

Nick Gillespie joins Doug Stuart to trace his path from Catholic kid in an immigrant family to a postmodern libertarian—and why that journey made him bullish on freedom of movement and a more “mongrel” America. We talk through the Ellis Island frame for sane, humane immigration, why “build a wall around the welfare state” is the sharper rejoinder, and how Catholic parish life (and Roger Williams) shaped Nick's instinct for pluralism and tolerance.We also unpack what he means by “postmodern libertarianism” in plain terms: be humble about what we can know, be wary of top-down fixes, and trust bottom-up problem-solving. Hayek meets Foucault without the jargon. From there we hit the “paradox of choice” debate (yes, 45 deodorants can be a feature), how pop culture shapes the way people find meaning, and where the liberty movement is actually headed right now.In this episode:Immigration as freedom to move and belongEllis Island as a practical path to legal, open channels“Wall off the welfare state,” not the countryCatholic roots, Roger Williams, and the case for pluralismPostmodern libertarianism without the buzzwordsChoice vs. control, and learning to satisficeThe current liberty landscape: what's breaking, what's buildingShow Notes:Find Nick on ReasonAudio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Launched on July 3, 2025, this is Episode #2, and we're diving deep into the chaos that's rocking the headlines—and maybe even stirring some controversy of our own! In this electrifying episode, we unpack the latest twists in the Jeffrey Epstein saga, including Trump's defensive response to lingering questions and the sudden announcement of a criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey. Is this a deflection from the Epstein cover-up, or the accountability America needs? We explore the intelligence asset theory, dissect Tucker Carlson and Sager's breakdown, and react to a viral Asmongold clip that had us all saying, “Get out of our heads!” Plus, we tackle the tragic Texas floods, debating cloud seeding conspiracies with input from meteorologists like Travis Herzog—spoiler: Clay's still a proud conspiracy theorist but leaning toward Mother Nature's wrath this time. From there, we pivot to a disturbing planned ambush on ICE agents in Texas, the absurdity of First Amendment auditors clashing with troopers outside the Mississippi Governor's Mansion, and a heated discussion on immigration policy—complete with Clay's Ellis Island-style processing center idea and Shaun's bleeding-heart perspective. Oh, and did we mention the TSA dropping the shoe-removal rule? We're outraged, amused, and everything in between. Throw in some wild tangents about dueling, the military-industrial complex, and Clay's ongoing drama with local crazies, and you've got a show that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining. **Why Watch?** - Unscripted, real-time reactions from hosts who aren't afraid to disagree. - Deep dives into politics, culture, and conspiracies with a local Mississippi twist. - Exclusive updates on *Uncensored Live*'s upgrade to a 50,000-watt signal—soon to be a statewide powerhouse! - Bonus: Check out our new FAFO merch, including the infamous “wife beaters,” available at the upcoming Wildlife Expo (July 18-20, 2025, Clyde Muse Center, Pearl, MS). **Who's This For?** If you're tired of sanitized news and crave bold, no-holds-barred commentary from everyday folks with a passion for truth, this is your show.

What does it mean to honor the legacy of survival and freedom? In this powerful episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Henry Kriegel, deputy state director of Americans for Prosperity–Montana, to hear the extraordinary story of his parents—Holocaust survivors who came to America with nothing but determination and hope. Their escape from Nazi-occupied Poland, survival through labor camps, and eventual arrival at Ellis Island shaped Henry's lifelong dedication to defending freedom and opportunity. From launching pro-freedom campus groups at Columbia University, to briefing President Reagan on endgame strategies in Afghanistan, and now training activists and testifying in the Montana legislature, Henry has spent his life fighting for policies that empower people—not government. Whether he's advocating for tax reform, educational freedom, or helping elect leaders like U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy, Henry's passion is rooted in the belief that liberty is fragile—and must be fiercely defended for future generations.
