Washington Watch Reporter Mary Stackhouse reports on the preliminary deal with Iran signed by President Trump and Vice President JD Vance's press conference on the details of that Memorandum of Understanding. Greg Steube, U.S. Representative for the
You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 11, 2026. We open with one of the most disturbing stories we've covered — federal officials have located 146,000 unaccompanied migrant children who entered the country during the Biden administration and disappeared into a broken government tracking system. Nearly half a million unaccompanied children were transferred into federal custody between 2019 and 2023, and the government lost track of three out of every four of them. Over 32,000 failed to appear for immigration court hearings — children who legally don't even have the capacity to be responsible for that. We point out that some sponsors used the same addresses and names over and over to claim multiple children — a hallmark of trafficking networks — and that acting Attorney General Todd Blanch confirmed this program was exploited for sexual assault and trafficking. We make the case that this level of failure isn't incompetence. It's a feature, not a bug, of an administration that prioritized volume over accountability — and we ask where these children go to get their childhoods back. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump paused another round of attacks on Iran after announcing a breakthrough in negotiations, with a final deal expected to be signed in Europe as early as this weekend — including guarantees Iran will never possess a nuclear weapon and that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen to shipping without Iranian tolls. Then the CEO of ActBlue refused to answer questions during a congressional hearing, repeatedly citing attorney-client privilege and Fifth Amendment protections amid allegations of fraudulent campaign donations including foreign contributions. And a Michigan court overturned the conviction of one of the men accused of plotting to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, ruling that kidnapping isn't a violent felony under Michigan's terrorism statute — we revisit the role the FBI itself played in organizing that plot. We also cover New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani attending the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden with a roughly $1,000 standing-room ticket — despite running a campaign built on taxing the wealthy and claiming he'd have to move back in with his parents due to financial strain. We make the broader point about socialism and its leaders — the people at the top always seem to find their way to the good seats while telling everyone else to live within their needs. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of whether MAGA is dead, as several prominent former Trump-aligned commentators have recently suggested. They point to Trump-endorsed candidates sweeping primaries in South Carolina, Louisiana, and Texas as evidence the movement is alive and well, and discuss the pattern of high-profile pundits — Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens — making abrupt reversals after years of consistency, while Trump's messaging has remained the same. They draw a comparison to Ann Coulter's earlier break with Trump over the border wall timeline, suggesting some of these breaks come from single-issue voters whose patience ran out on one specific promise. We dig into the controversy over whether ICE enforcement should pause during the World Cup — with activists arguing that immigration enforcement makes undocumented immigrants feel unsafe attending games. We point out the absurdity by comparison — nobody argues pickpocketing laws should be suspended during the Super Bowl. In our Digging Deep segment, we cover the case of a Somali World Cup referee who was denied entry into the United States after Customs and Border Protection flagged his connections to Al-Shabaab, an Al-Qaeda affiliate — and his own social media posts containing antisemitic statements. We walk through why this isn't about ethnicity, despite Al-Shabaab itself issuing a statement calling it racial discrimination, and why a country has every right to keep people connected to designated terrorist organizations out, regardless of their profession. We also cover the first arrest from a new federal fraud task force's top-10 most-wanted list — a $100 million bank fraud case in Orange County involving falsified title insurance documents and altered digital metadata. For our Bright Spot, a new study out of the University of Maryland School of Medicine and published in the Annals of Family Medicine found that patients who received five minutes of intercessory prayer — including the laying on of hands — experienced significantly greater pain and anxiety reduction than those who listened to faith music or meditation, with benefits lasting up to six weeks. Remarkably, the results held regardless of whether the patient receiving prayer was a believer — what mattered was the faith of the person doing the praying. We connect it to the biblical example of the centurion asking Jesus to heal his servant, and note that researchers are now suggesting intercessory prayer become standard medical practice. And we close with Jimmy Kimmel mocking Spencer Pratt over losing his home in the LA wildfires by renting him a U-Haul — which we call exactly what it is, shameful — and the congressional baseball game, where Republicans beat Democrats 11-2, with Florida Rep. Greg Steube striking out five batters and Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt named MVP for a diving catch that left him bloodied. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Joe Pags plays his favorite clips from the announcement — including the moments the media conveniently glossed over. Meanwhile, Hakeem Jeffries is bizarrely congratulating Democrats, prompting Pags to ask: For what, exactly? And with Kamala Harris now gone from the spotlight, Rep. Jasmine Crockett steps in with a fresh batch of word salad, offering a clip so hilarious you have to hear it. Then Rep. Greg Steube joins Pags with an unfiltered and incredibly insightful interview. Steube explains why he refused to support the CR, why he believes it was the wrong move strategically, and what January 30th now represents in the bigger political picture. He also lays out why he supports returning the filibuster to its original form, aligning with President Trump's position. And Steube sets the record straight on the controversial $500,000 allowance for senators, revealing that it was a Senate-driven provision and that many senators listed don't even want it. It's a sharp, fact-rich conversation that cuts through the noise and brings clarity to a chaotic Washington moment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The ongoing Los Angeles protests started with ICE raids. Not a new thing in concept, but a new thing in tone and target. We're talking work sites, immigration courts, restaurants — not jails or prisons, not the places where even the most progressive voices might begrudgingly agree law enforcement has some claim. But California law has essentially blocked ICE from accessing inmates for deportation. So instead of going after the people most would agree should be first in line, they're now going after people in public-facing jobs and community spaces. It's one thing to talk about enforcement — it's another when that enforcement happens where families eat or work.And that's the flashpoint. Trump said he'd deliver the biggest deportation effort in U.S. history. That promise means numbers, and numbers mean sympathy eventually bleeds in. I assumed it would come when a grandma running a family bakery got dragged out on camera. Instead, we're here — people in court, people in the kitchen, being targeted. This was always going to happen. When you aim big, you eventually hit someone the public doesn't want you to hit. And in a city like L.A., that means people are going to show up in the streets.Violence, Protest, and the California ReflexProtesting in California isn't unusual. It's part of the culture. Go look at Instagram stories from anyone in L.A. or the Bay Area — if something controversial is happening, people are in the streets. It's not performative in a bad way; it's performative in the literal sense. It's how people express politics. But with that comes another layer. The violence.There's a slice of every major California protest that's just there for the bricks, the Molotovs, the chaos. Whether they're accelerationists or just anarchists, they're consistent. And that's the problem. The damage they do isn't proportional — it's cinematic. It's what ends up on cable news and social media. And if the goal is to change hearts and minds about immigration policy, burning cop cars and smashing windows makes that harder, not easier.Where Are the Adults?This is where leadership matters. Donald Trump's giving about 20% of his attention to this. Maybe less. He's more engaged with Iran and China. The ICE moves feel reflexive, not strategic. They hit resistance, they escalate. Federalizing the National Guard, deploying Marines — it's blunt-force governance. It's power without precision. What you really need is coordination with the local officials. Instead, we've got a shouting match.Gavin Newsom says “arrest me.” Karen Bass echoes that. But neither is engaging with the reality on the ground. They're acting like Trump is literally smashing windows. And maybe that's useful for the national narrative, but it's not leadership. The onus is on them — Newsom, Bass, the people closest to the problem — to take the lead in condemning the violence. But they won't even acknowledge it. And so we spiral.The truth is, most of these protests are peaceful. But the few that aren't are the ones that define the story. That was the lesson of 2020. And yet here we are again, learning it all over. It's a noble cause, absolutely. But when you ignore the violence — when you pretend it doesn't matter — you lose the moral high ground. And right now, nobody's looking particularly adult in the room.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:33 - LA Protests00:18:45 - Interview with Rep.

Congressman Greg Steube discusses the House Intelligence Committee's report revealing the FBI's misrepresentation of the 2017 congressional shooter's motives, initially claimed to be a "suicide by cop" scheme but later found to be driven by far-left extremism. Steube criticizes the FBI for classifying the investigation and hiding evidence. He also highlights a 2021 Biden administration memo lowering the threshold for FBI investigations to include "concerning non-criminal behavior," which he argued infringes on civil liberties. Congressman Andy Biggs from Arizona, a prominent voice in Congress advocating for accountability within the federal bureaucracy, shares insights on immigration policies, the potential for self-deportation incentives, and the recent revelations surrounding the FBI's handling of the 2017 congressional baseball shooting. Finally, it's AMAC Wednesday, and Bobby Charles discusses the controversial memo from the National Security Council under President Biden, which allowed federal agencies to target Americans for "concerning non-criminal behavior." Charles criticizes it as a violation of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments.
