There are mothers… and then there are matriarchs. This week in the Den, we sit down with Donna Jordan — lifelong visual artist, educator, proud grandmother, mother of three — and yes, the mother of Michael B. Jordan. But this conversation? It's about her. Donna shares what it really looked like to raise three creative children while nurturing her own artistry — creating art between caregiving and callbacks working in hand-painted silk and design to help support her family, and making sure her children saw her creating even when life was full. She opens up about being diagnosed with lupus in 1997, navigating fear and uncertainty, and “faking it” through pain so her children wouldn't carry the weight of her illness. She talks about what it means to mother through invisible disease, to show up when your body doesn't want to, and how watching her push through shaped her children's empathy and work ethic. And now? We see the fruit. Her children don't just succeed — they show up. They place her art on sets. They manage her business. They honor her publicly. They protect the woman she is and the legacy she built quietly for decades. This episode is about reciprocity. About raising children who return the love. About taking your “$10” for yourself. About reclaiming your time — at any age. If you've ever wondered whether your sacrifices matter… this one will sit with you.

As entrepreneurs—and as humans—it's easy to slip into seasons where we feel disconnected. Disconnected from our clients, our vision, our community, or even ourselves. This disconnection can show up as lack of motivation, unclear messaging, or simply feeling “off” in our day-to-day work.In this episode, Lianne Kim explores why disconnection happens and how to intentionally reconnect with what matters most. Whether you've been pushing too hard, neglecting rest, or losing sight of your bigger “why,” this conversation will help you realign and reignite your energy.In this episode, you'll discover:Why disconnection is a natural part of growthSigns you may be out of alignment with your business or clientsPractical tools to reconnect with your vision and valuesHow community and support can restore clarity and confidenceWhy reconnection leads to more joy, impact, and sustainabilityTimestamps:00:00 – The problem: feeling disconnected04:00 – Why disconnection happens during growth08:00 – Spotting the signs of misalignment12:00 – Tools to reconnect with your vision and values18:00 – The role of community in restoring connection22:00 – Creating sustainable practices to stay aligned— ‌Connect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liannekimcoach Instagram: @liannekimcoach Join the Mamas & Co. community to get access to valuable resources and the support of likeminded mompreneurs and mentors: https://www.mamasandco.com Instagram: @mamasandco Podcasting support: https://theultimatecreative.com

This is the full show for February 24, 2026. In this episode of American Ground Radio, we dive into the explosive violence rocking Mexico after the killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader "El Mencho." American tourists are trapped in resorts like Puerto Vallarta amid cartel roadblocks, explosions, and attacks on the National Guard—raising urgent questions about safety for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup games in Mexico. We discuss President Trump's tough stance: if Mexico can't dismantle the cartels fueling drugs and human trafficking across our border, the U.S. may have to act decisively, echoing historical interventions like the hunt for Pancho Villa. Plus, ahead of President Trump's first State of the Union address of his second term, we break down his expected highlights: a 96% drop in illegal border crossings (from hundreds of thousands under Biden to historic lows), economic wins, and calls to keep Republicans in Congress to protect his agenda. We expose Democrat plans to bring illegal immigrants as guests—literally giving seats to non-citizens over Americans—and slam anti-Second Amendment bills in states like Virginia and Minnesota that treat gun owners harsher than violent criminals.

This week in The Mama's Den, we're kicking it with Apryl Jones — single mama of two, entrepreneur, creative, and yes… someone many people think they know from reality TV, but trust us, there's so much more to her story. Apryl gets real about doing the work to release old relationship hurt and issues with her father so she can show up lighter, freer, and fully present for herself and her kids. We talk motherhood hustle, protecting your peace, dating as a single mom, what still scares her, and what she's truly looking for in this next chapter. And honestly? Her energy surprised us in the best way — fun, carefree, thoughtful, and grounded in family first. It turned into one of those conversations where you laugh, reflect, and leave feeling a little softer about your own journey. Healing, honesty, and good mama energy all around.

This is the full show for February 20, 2026. 0:30 Today, we reflect on the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson — civil rights leader, founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, two-time presidential candidate, and a man who undeniably shaped America’s political and cultural conversation for decades. But the debate today isn’t about whether he mattered. It’s about whether he meets the historic threshold for one of the nation’s highest ceremonial honors: lying in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. After Mike Johnson declined a request to grant that distinction, critics cried partisanship. We slow the conversation down and ask a deeper question: What is the standard? The Rotunda is reserved for figures deemed central to the constitutional story of the United States — a rare honor previously extended to individuals such as Rosa Parks, Billy Graham, and even Pierre Charles L'Enfant. So where is the line between influence and national consensus? Between impact and constitutional significance? We discuss Jackson’s contributions, his controversies, and the broader principle at stake: preserving the Rotunda as sacred civic space — not a stage for popularity or partisanship. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US Supreme Court struck down President Trump's use of Tariffs without congressional authorization. The United States and Indonesia finalized a bilateral trade agreement today that will lower tariffs between the two countries to 19%. Jesse Jackson's body will not lie in state under the Capital Rotunda.Jackson's family had requested that his body be allowed to lie in state, but that request was denied by Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 The Supreme Court of the United States handed down a 6–3 decision striking down President Donald Trump’s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The Court made clear: that particular statute can’t be used as the vehicle for those tariffs. But that didn’t end the story. Within hours, the administration pivoted — announcing a new 10% tariff under the Trade Act of 1974, a separate law that explicitly grants the president temporary tariff authority. In fact, even members of the Court noted there are other statutory paths available. So what are we witnessing — constitutional chaos or constitutional chess? 16:00 We got a question for the American Mamas: “I’m so glad I grew up in the ’80s. How can you keep up with all the trends today?” It sparks a lively (and hilarious) walk down memory lane as Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to compare the universal “just knew it” culture of the 1980s with today’s lightning-fast, social-media-driven world. From slang that changes overnight to the pressure of documenting everything online, we explore how growing up before smartphones may have been a hidden blessing. The conversation turns to modern milestones — over-the-top weddings, pricey bachelorette trips, elaborate gender reveals — and how platforms like TikTok and Twitter have transformed private celebrations into public productions. What used to be punch, mints, and a phone call has become curated content and camera-ready moments. It’s a funny, relatable look at generational shifts, cultural pressure, and why some of us are grateful our most embarrassing moments weren’t captured in 4K. Got a question for the American Mamas? Visit americangroundradio.com/mamas and click “Ask the Mamas.” 23:00 President Donald Trump has directed the Secretary of Defense and other agencies to begin identifying and releasing government files related to UFOs, unidentified aerial phenomena, and any potential information connected to extraterrestrial life. Laugh if you want — but for years, trained Navy and Air Force pilots have reported aerial objects performing maneuvers that appear to defy conventional aerodynamics. These aren’t backyard videos or internet hoaxes. They’re encounters documented by military aviators asking a serious question: what exactly are we seeing? We explore the long shadow of Area 51, Cold War-era secrecy, and how government disinformation about experimental aircraft may have fueled decades of alien speculation. We also separate fact from fiction when it comes to so-called “chemtrails” versus ordinary condensation trails — and why conspiracy theories persist. 26:00 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis traveled to Kentucky this week with a bold message: Congress won’t fix itself — and it’s time for the states to step in. Testifying before Kentucky lawmakers, DeSantis urged them to support an Article V constitutional convention aimed at passing a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. With the national debt approaching $40 trillion, he argued that without permanent structural changes, Washington’s “muscle memory” of spending and compromise will continue — no matter which party is in power. We Dig Deep into break down how an Article V convention works, why 34 states are required to trigger it, and where the effort currently stands. Twenty states have already signed on — mostly Republican-led — but even if every remaining red state joined, supporters would still need buy-in from purple or Democrat-led legislatures. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A social media post from Congressman Randy Fine has gone viral — and sparked a firestorm. Fine responded to comments tied to New York political circles suggesting restrictions on dogs in public housing, referencing concerns rooted in Islamic views that consider dogs unclean. Fine pushed back bluntly, arguing that if Americans were ever forced to choose between their pets and accommodating religious restrictions, it wouldn’t be a difficult decision. Critics immediately labeled the remarks Islamophobic. Supporters say the point wasn’t about religion — it was about culture, assimilation, and whether American traditions should bend to accommodate beliefs that conflict with everyday life in the U.S. In this segment, we unpack the controversy, the statistics behind America’s deep attachment to pets — including service and therapy dogs — and the broader debate over cultural expectations in a free society. We also discuss Fine’s proposed “Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act” and what it symbolizes in the larger conversation about immigration, religious freedom, and preserving American norms. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From cowboys and Gavin Newsom's dyslexia, to the airport being named after President Trump can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We talk about Supreme Court’s 6–3 ruling on presidential tariff authority and what it means for the balance of power in Washington. When former Vice President Mike Pence praised the decision as a win for the Constitution, was it a straightforward defense of separation of powers—or a subtle jab at Donald Trump? And we end today's show with the powerful Olympic story of Alysa Liu—an American gold medal victory with international intrigue and a reminder of the opportunities and freedoms that define the American dream. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy. Articles US and Indonesia finalise deal to cut tariffs to 19% Major Defense Contractor Flees Spanberger’s Virginia Just Weeks After She Takes Office.

This is the full show for February 19, 2026. 0:30 The United States Department of Justice has joined a lawsuit against the Los Angeles Unified School District over a policy that categorizes schools by race and ties funding, smaller class sizes, and enhanced programs to race. We break down what this “PHBAO” classification means, why attaching benefits based on race raises serious Equal Protection concerns, and how the 14th Amendment applies when government actors sort students by skin color. Is this equity… or is it government-sponsored discrimination under a new acronym? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Department of Transportation is ordering 550 truck driving schools across the country to close. It looks like the Chicago Bears are leaving Illinois for Indiana. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former Prince Andrew is being investigated for suspicion of misconduct in office. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

We unpack what that would actually mean, the political strategy behind it, and the bigger question: what does “law and order” mean in today’s America? 16:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson. If you could rub a magic lamp and get just one wish for America — what would it be? From the days of three-network news to today’s explosion of social media platforms like X, the Mamas reflect on how information — and misinformation — shapes division in our country. They talk about the pandemic years, shadow bans, competing narratives, and the challenge of figuring out what’s actually true in a world where everyone has a microphone. But the conversation goes deeper than media. It’s about friendships strained over politics, assumptions made about neighbors, and how quickly labels replace relationships. When did who you vote for become more important than who you are? And how do we get back to a place where disagreement doesn’t mean disdain? It’s an honest, heartfelt discussion about truth, unity, and loving people even when you don’t share their politics — a reminder that restoring America might start with a little more light… and a lot more grace. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani built his campaign on a simple, viral promise: only the “uber wealthy” would pay more. Not you. Not your neighbor. Just the fat cats, the yacht crowd, the so-called one percent. But now? The Mamdani is floating a nearly 10% property tax hike — and that doesn’t just land on penthouse owners. It hits homeowners, retirees on fixed incomes, small landlords, and yes, renters, because higher property taxes don’t stay put. They trickle down into higher rents and higher costs for everyone. So what happened to “only the wealthy will pay”? We dig into how big spending promises — free programs, expanded benefits, sweeping commitments — eventually collide with math. When the tax base shrinks and high earners relocate, who makes up the difference? 26:00 Colorado just lost its largest corporation. Palantir Technologies — the $300+ billion AI firm that moved from Silicon Valley to Denver in 2020 citing cultural differences with Big Tech — has now packed up again, relocating its headquarters to Miami. The move follows months of protests outside its Denver offices over its contracts with the Israeli military and federal agencies like ICE, along with growing regulatory pressure from Colorado’s new AI law. So why leave? And why Florida? We break down whether this is about taxes, regulation, activist pressure, or a broader shift as companies seek business-friendly, right-to-work states. As America’s economy evolves, Palantir’s exit raises a bigger question: which vision of governance will win the future of growth? 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A tragic shooting at a Rhode Island ice rink is raising disturbing questions. Authorities say the gunman, Robert Dorgan, allegedly targeted his ex-wife, their son, and members of her family during a high school hockey game — and that this was not random, but deliberate. Reports indicate there had been long-standing family conflict, including disputes over his transgender identity and a divorce that followed. As more details emerge, the story becomes even more heartbreaking: a fractured family, mental health concerns, and a violent act that devastated multiple lives in a single moment. We examine what’s known about the case, the role family estrangement may have played, and the broader cultural tensions surrounding gender identity, media coverage, and mental health. Most importantly, we ask the difficult question: how do we recognize warning signs and prevent tragedies like this before they happen? 35:30 Sometimes the left tries so hard to make a point… that they end up making the conservative argument for us. Case in point: columnist Jill Filipovic recently argued that if gender-affirming surgeries for minors are banned, then all cosmetic surgeries for minors — nose jobs, breast augmentations, and the like — should be banned too (with exceptions for true medical necessity). Well… yes. We unpack how that statement actually reinforces a broader concern many conservatives have been raising: maybe we shouldn’t be encouraging cosmetic alterations for children at all. Maybe we shouldn’t be over-sexualizing teenagers. Maybe we shouldn’t be permanently altering bodies that haven’t fully developed. We also look at the cultural pressure to “fix” perfectly healthy bodies — from Hollywood cautionary tales like Jennifer Grey to today’s social media-driven beauty standards — and ask whether our society is sending young people the wrong message about identity and self-worth. At the heart of it all is a bigger question: instead of telling kids there’s something wrong with their bodies, should we be teaching them they were created with purpose and value just as they are? 39:30 Kansas lawmakers have drawn a clear line. After the legislature passed a bill defining sex in state law as biological sex at birth, Democratic Governor Laura Kelly vetoed it. Lawmakers responded by overriding her veto — and now the measure is officially the law in Kansas. To wrap up today's show we unpack the political showdown, the cultural debate behind it, and the broader question of identity in today’s America. We also reflect on a simple but powerful idea echoed by voices like Sophia Loren and Oscar Wilde: real confidence comes from being comfortable in your own skin. At the end of the day, the conversation turns to purpose, design, and the belief that we are not accidents — that we are created intentionally and with value. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

In this heartfelt sendoff episode, Kris sits down with her very first hire, Camille St. Martin, for a deeply meaningful conversation about the postpartum experience, nervous system regulation, and the importance of truly seeing and supporting new moms. Camille, now a mother of two and the founder of Ritual Movement Mama, shares how her own experience of isolation and identity loss after childbirth sparked a mission to help mothers reconnect with their bodies, their breath, and their inner wisdom, one slow movement at a time.   Together, Kris and Camille explore what it means to return to yourself after birth, how child care leaders can support the full family system, and why "happier mamas" really do lead to "happier babies." This episode also marks a full-circle moment and a big transition — Kris's final episode as host of Child Care Rockstar Radio before passing the mic to new host and CEO of the Child Care Success Company, Jennifer Conner.   Key Takeaways: [9:35] Camille talks about her experience of feeling isolated and disconnected after her children were born, and her desire to create a community of support for new moms. [10:14] Ritual Movement Mama is aimed at helping new moms feel at home in their bodies and regulate their nervous systems. [15:14] Camille shares her personal journey of quitting drinking and the coping skills she developed, which inspired her to help other new moms. [17:43] Camille speaks candidly about postpartum depression screenings, the cultural default to medication, and the urgent need for alternative, holistic support. [23:04] Instead of a rigid routine, Camille now teaches a "wheel of anchors," small, accessible practices like breathwork, movement, and prayer that help moms feel grounded again. [25:27] Camille's personal life and projects. [27:05] Fun fact! Camille INDEED was a professional hula hoop performer! [31:26] Her new virtual program offers guided journaling, somatic movement, and imagery-based integration for women navigating identity shifts in early motherhood. [34:58] Camille reminds child care leaders that they may be one of the first outside interactions for postpartum moms, and that those early moments imprint deeply. [35:50] Kris reflects on her own child care experiences as a new mom, emphasizing the power of environments that support both the baby and the mother. Quotes: "Moms right now are so isolated, and there is not a lot of support, and there isn't a lot of support around healing as far as stepping into motherhood and transitioning into motherhood and learning how to cope and how to regulate our nervous systems and how to move into motherhood gracefully." — Camille [10:04]   "Lots of times we have the biggest shift of our lives and everything rearranges on the inside, our whole nervous system has been rearranged, and everyone just expects us to bounce back and go back to normal, and there's just not even a witnessing or a holding or a ceremony." — Camille [11:29]   "I would say it's kind of a real honoring and reverence for the transition into motherhood through movement and other integration processes." — Camille [31:18]   "Regulated mothers equal regulated children and happier families." — Camille [33:18]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: Use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal Ritual Movement Mama | IG Miracle Morning

This is the full show for February 18, 2026. 0:30 A headline from the Washington Times claims ICE use-of-force incidents jumped 353% after President Trump returned to office — and the media is running with it. But is this a scandal… or a statistics game? As immigration enforcement ramps up and arrests surge, we dig into what those explosive percentages really mean — and what key context is being left out. And we raise a bigger question: why aren’t we hearing as much about the spike in violent attacks against ICE officers? This segment takes on media framing, immigration enforcement, use-of-force data, and the political narrative shaping the debate — asking whether Americans are getting facts, or just headlines designed to provoke outrage. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The first Domestic Terrorism case against members of ANTIFA was quickly declared a mistrial this week. Leftist Environmental groups have filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from undoing a costly and ineffective set of policies at the EPA. Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales is being accused of having an illicit affair with a staffer who later committed suicide. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 A reporter from CBS asked Karoline Leavitt when President Trump had ever been falsely accused of racism — and the question itself left us wondering: was that supposed to be serious? We break down the exchange, the long-running “racism” narrative surrounding President Trump, and how media framing often assumes the conclusion before asking the question. From “very fine people” to “Jim Crow 2.0” claims from Chuck Schumer, we examine how accusations become headlines — and headlines become accepted truth. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson tackle a question that hits deeper than it sounds: would you rather be wealthy with no friends… or poor with true friends? We explore what really matters — money, status, and success, or loyalty, faith, and authentic relationships. From small-town perspective shifts to the pressures of elite culture, we talk about the difference between having everything… and having your people. In a world obsessed with fame, fortune, and influence, we ask what’s actually worth holding onto — and what might cost more than it’s worth. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Department of Justice executed a search warrant and seized 650 boxes of 2020 election records from Fulton County, Georgia — and now county officials are suing to get them back. We examine the legal fight over those ballots, the claims of irregularities in the 2020 election, and why local officials are challenging a federally approved search tied to a federal race. If this was the “most secure election in American history,” as we were told, why the rush to reclaim the evidence? 26:30 When Elon Musk bought Twitter — now X — many argued it was a major win for free speech. But we ask whether his AI platform, Grok, could be even more important to the future of humanity. We break down viral AI test questions that are exposing sharp ideological divides between platforms like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and Grok — and what those answers reveal about bias, free speech, and the values being programmed into artificial intelligence. If AI is shaping the next generation of information, culture, and decision-making, who controls it matters. We're tackling AI bias, “woke” algorithms, free expression, and why the battle over artificial intelligence may be the most important fight yet. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 After our discussion on AI bias, one listener offered a solution: if artificial intelligence leans left, why not push back and help correct it? We explore whether everyday users can influence platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok by calling out biased framing, adding missing context, and steering conversations toward neutral or conservative perspectives. Can users “de-woke” AI in real time — or does the real power still rest with the programmers behind the curtain? And remember, you can join the conversation by calling or texting 866-AGR-1776. The best Hotline number anywhere in the business. 35:00 Homelessness is a crisis in America’s largest cities, and leftist policies only make it worse. In New York, 19 people died last winter on the streets after Mayor Zoran Mamdani halted homeless sweeps — a decision that left vulnerable residents exposed to freezing temperatures and untreated mental illness and substance abuse. We break down the deadly consequences of those policies, why simply building more housing isn’t the solution, and why recent reversals signal a necessary, if overdue, course correction. This segment tackles homelessness, public safety, and the human cost of political ideology in left-run cities — and asks whether compassion sometimes requires tough action. 39:30 We discuss reports of a 90% chance the U.S. may take military action against Iran in the coming weeks, the buildup of fighter jets, and the serious risks involved — a sobering look at global stakes. Then we shift to a brighter note, celebrating Michael Mastrangelo, a Publix cashier whose positivity and dedication raised over $31,000 for the Special Olympics in just six days.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 17, 2026. 0:30 We dig into anti-ICE activists who’ve taken their protest tactics into America’s checkout lines. Instead of lobbying Congress, demonstrators are swarming Target stores in Minnesota and beyond—buying bags of salt only to immediately return them—in an effort to jam registers, disrupt workers, and economically punish a private business. It's performative outrage aimed at minimum-wage employees, not policy change. From immigration enforcement to law and order, corporate disruption, and the real-world consequences for local jobs, harassing cashiers won’t change federal law—or stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement from doing its job. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Capital Police arrested a man today as he was running towards the Capital Building wearing a tactical vest and gloves and carrying a shotgun. Former Democrat Presidential Candidate Jesse Jackson passed away this week at the age of 84. A man who claimed to be a woman shot and killed two people at a high school ice hockey game in Rhode Island on Monday. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We break down the selective reporting by The New York Times following a fatal ice hockey rink shooting in Rhode Island. The Times carefully sidestepped the suspect’s transgender identity—despite reporting a birth name change—while routinely highlighting other details, like firearms, when they fit a preferred narrative. With another recent fatal shooting involving a transgender suspect in British Columbia, we have to ask why certain facts are deemed “irrelevant” only when they’re politically inconvenient. The message is simple and sharp: report the facts, all of them, without fear or favor. 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson : Have you noticed how much stuff the Left says is "toxic" is actually just normal life? The Mamas push back on how the left labels everyday behavior as “toxic”—from toxic masculinity to churchgoing, parenting, and even harmless relationship moments. They share real-life examples of social media outrage, including a viral Ring camera clip that sparked cries of “dump him” over a roly-poly bug, and online harassment aimed at public figures connected to Cheer. The conversation turns serious as the mamas argue that anonymous online attacks, political name-calling, and cultural shaming are the real toxicity—while common sense, family values, and disagreeing respectfully are just normal life.

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

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 13, 2026. 0:30 If you’re in ICE detention and don’t like the conditions, there’s an option millions of legal immigrants already understand: you’re free to go home. We dismantle claims that immigration detention is “cruel” or comparable to concentration camps, a comparison that is historically ignorant and morally offensive. We explain why deportation is not punishment under Supreme Court precedent, why detention is often a choice when voluntary departure is refused, and how the Department of Homeland Security is now offering illegal immigrants financial assistance and airfare to return home. From border enforcement to national sovereignty, this conversation cuts through the grievance politics to argue a simple principle: a nation without borders is not a nation—and America’s first responsibility is to its citizens. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Federal Government is shutting down again, at least partially.The Senate failed to pass the funding for the Department of Homeland Security this week after Democrats objected to continuing to fund ICE and immigration enforcement efforts. Inflation continued to drop this past month.That's according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Department of Transportation is ordering airlines to hire pilots based solely on merit. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Rosie O’Donnell says she “fled” a scary America under Donald Trump—but we aren’t buying it. We dig into the celebrity meltdown narrative, arguing that O’Donnell didn’t escape authoritarianism—she escaped cultural relevance. We take aim at the idea that Trump voters are something to fear, mock the performative outrage of Hollywood elites, and point out the obvious: real exiles don’t keep U.S. passports, Hollywood access, dollar-denominated wealth, and residual checks. 16:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson: What did you parents do that would get them canceled today? We dive into old-school parenting habits that once felt normal—but might trigger outrage now. From wooden spoons peeking out of purses and chain-smoking grandparents in the car, to paddling at school, drinking from the garden hose, roaming until the streetlights came on, and walking home alone with a key around your neck, the stories paint a picture of a very different America. The Mamas debate discipline, personal responsibility, and whether today’s hyper-sensitive culture has lost something important along the way. Equal parts funny and thought-provoking, this segment taps into parenting debates, generational differences, and the question many families are asking: did tough love work better than we’re willing to admit? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Photo ID for voting is suddenly back on the table—and this time, it might actually happen. Webreak down President Donald Trump’s threat to issue an executive order mandating voter ID in federal elections, as Congress inches closer to passing the SAVE Act. The big surprise? Senator Susan Collins is now a yes vote, signaling a major shift even in blue-state politics. We dig into why requiring state-issued photo ID to vote is being framed as “controversial,” despite IDs being required for everything from banking to voting on the U.S. Senate floor itself. And we address the claims that voter ID is racist, question lax ID policies in states like California, and argue this is only the first step toward restoring election integrity—state audits come next.With the 2026 midterms approaching, the message is clear: voter ID isn’t radical—it’s long overdue. 26:00 America’s birth-rate crisis meets peak absurdity in this jaw-dropping Valentine’s Day segment. As lawmakers and economists warn that falling population growth threatens the future of the republic, we react to a surreal new trend out of New York City: a bar hosting Valentine’s Eve “dates” for people in romantic relationships with AI-generated partners. Yes—tables for one human and one phone, courtesy of Eva AI. The conversation turns darkly comedic and brutally honest as we unpack survey data showing more than one in four adults say they’ve had a romantic relationship with artificial intelligence. This isn’t quirky tech optimism—it’s cultural rot. From porn-driven isolation to the death of courtship, the segment takes aim at a dating culture that rewards avoidance, validation, and zero personal growth. You can’t build families with a chatbot. You can’t raise future Americans with an algorithm. And you can’t save a country if men won’t shower, take a risk, and ask a real woman out. This is a blunt warning about masculinity, marriage, AI relationships, and why artificial partners are a dead end—for people and for the nation. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 After Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl spotlight, a very different side of Puerto Rican culture is making national headlines. We react to a major legal shift in Puerto Rico, where the island’s Republican governor—an ally of Donald Trump—has signed a bill amending the criminal code to recognize an unborn child at any stage of gestation as a human being under criminal law. The change reshapes how homicide is defined, allowing the killing of a fetus during a violent crime against a pregnant woman to be prosecuted as the unlawful killing of a human being. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? claims about voter ID and ICE popularity to Olympic scandals, celebrity outrage, and truly ridiculous media narratives, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 Don Lemon plead not guilty after being charged with conspiracy under the FACE Act for his alleged role in a coordinated disruption of a church in Minnesota. We dismantle Lemon’s claim that he was “just doing journalism,” arguing that planning, participating, and referring to activists as “we” crosses the line from reporting into outright political activism—raising serious questions about press ethics, religious freedom, and First Amendment rights during the Donald Trump era.

Most women entrepreneurs dream of hitting six figures, but the reality is many don't get there—often because they're not focusing on the right actions.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 11, 2026. 0:30 An unprecedented national security moment at the southern border. We break down the stunning FAA decision to shut down airspace over El Paso and parts of southern New Mexico after cartel-linked drones crossed into U.S. airspace from Mexico. Commercial flights grounded, the military quietly neutralizing the threat, and comparisons to 9/11 and historic cross-border attacks raise a chilling question: was this a probe for something much bigger? From Mexican drug cartels and drone warfare to terrorism designations and the real possibility of U.S. military action, this is not routine border chaos — it’s a warning sign of escalation that could reshape border security, U.S.–Mexico relations, and America’s response to cartel terrorism. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump has sent home National Guard troops deployed to several high crime cities across America.These include Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The FAA closed the airspace around El Paso earlier this week for an unspecified security reason. A Grand Jury has refused to indict six Democrats who made a video encouraging members of the military to refuse orders given by President Trump. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 House Republicans pass the SAVE Act—again—mandating proof of citizenship and voter ID for federal elections, and once again it heads straight for a Senate roadblock. We take aim at Democrats’ near-unanimous opposition, the handful of states that still don’t require voter ID, and the growing frustration with Senate leadership refusing to force the issue. Is verifying voters really “voter suppression,” or just common sense election integrity? 16:00 Did you swear you’d never turn into your parents… and then realize you already have? In this American Mamas segment, Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson jump into a candid, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt conversation about parenting, boundaries, and the habits we promised ourselves we wouldn’t repeat. From “because I said so” moments and helicopter parenting to free-range childhoods, united fronts, and good cop–bad cop dynamics, the discussion hits home for moms and dads alike. It’s an honest look at generational parenting, raising kids without a blueprint, and why every parent eventually hears, “I’m never doing that with my kids”… right before they do exactly that. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 A blunt warning from across the Atlantic—and a debate Americans shouldn’t ignore. We react to comments from British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who says the UK is being “colonized by immigrants” and warns you can’t sustain an economy with millions on government benefits and open borders. From eye-opening wealth comparisons between Britain and the U.S. to free speech crackdowns, mass immigration, and the failure of Europe’s multicultural experiment, the conversation draws sharp lines between border security, national identity, and economic survival. Is Britain saying out loud what many Western nations refuse to confront? 25:30 A deeper dive into the jobs numbers reveals a story the headlines missed. We break down the latest U.S. jobs report and why what’s inside the data matters more than the top-line figures. Private-sector job growth surged while government payrolls shrank to levels not seen since the 1960s, wages are once again rising faster than inflation, and native-born Americans are gaining jobs as foreign-born employment declines. From shrinking bureaucracy and “deep state” influence to AI’s impact on wages, tariffs, reshoring manufacturing, and real wage growth under Trump, this is a data-driven look at why the economy may be stronger—and more America First—than the media wants to admit. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Hollywood accounting meets hard reality. We pull back the curtain on Disney’s woke remake of Snow White and why the numbers tell a brutal story Hollywood doesn’t want you to see. Thanks to UK transparency rules, Forbes was able to expose an estimated $170 million loss—turning a beloved classic into a financial bloodbath. From sneaky studio bookkeeping and royalty checks no one can verify to audiences rejecting political lectures at the box office, the message is clear: go woke, go broke. Audiences are finally voting with their wallets. 35:30 A shocking civics failure inside a state legislature sparks a much bigger debate. We react to a North Carolina sheriff who couldn’t identify the basic branches of government during a legislative hearing tied to a deadly crime—and why that moment exposes a deeper problem in American leadership. The conversation turns to Congressman Wesley Hunt’s proposal to require members of Congress to pass a basic civics test, similar to the citizenship exam. From constitutional ignorance and oath-taking to accountability for elected officials, this is a blunt discussion about why you shouldn’t hold power if you don’t understand the Constitution—and why civic literacy may be the missing safeguard in American government. 39:30 A Team USA bobsled athlete and U.S. Air Force airman Jasmine Jones' pride in representing her country stands in sharp contrast to athletes who criticize America on the world stage. Her words about service, sacrifice, and honor strike a powerful chord—showing what it really means to wear “USA” across your chest. 41:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about how the country actually works.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 10, 2026. 0:30 A newly released DOJ document confirms what Trump supporters have long believed: Donald Trump acted decisively against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell long before entering politics. In 2006, Trump personally called the Palm Beach police chief to thank him for investigating Epstein, praised law enforcement for focusing on Maxwell, and removed Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. This behavior underscores a consistent pattern of law-and-order instincts, standing in stark contrast to the elites and politicians who ignored Epstein’s crimes. The revelation challenges long-held narratives and reinforces Trump’s reputation as someone who confronts wrongdoing rather than protecting predators. 10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Two men from Pennsylvania pled guilty to housing fraud in Minnesota. New York State has become the 13th state in the nation to legalize suicide. Republican Senator Susan Collins announced she is running for reelection. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Extreme cold in New York City has claimed nearly 20 lives, exposing the deadly consequences of misguided policy. Under Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration, homeless individuals were not forced indoors during record-low temperatures, leaving vulnerable people to freeze on the streets. We dig into how ideology—when detached from reality and compassion—can become a matter of life or death, and why true compassion means protecting those who cannot protect themselves. 16:00 Raising children in a culture that increasingly rejects authority is a growing challenge for parents. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson share some practical strategies for instilling respect, boundaries, and decorum from an early age. Experts stress that parents are the first and most influential authority figures—the “parent tape” that shapes a child’s behavior and values for life. From modeling respect for teachers and law enforcement to teaching kids how to express disagreement calmly, these insights show how families can equip the next generation to navigate a world that often celebrates rebellion over responsibility. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 At the Olympics, athletes are meant to represent their country and compete at the highest level—but some are using the global stage to push political narratives. A 54-year-old American curler sparked controversy by criticizing U.S. policies in Minnesota while enjoying the freedoms and opportunities his country provides. Experts call out the entitlement mentality and warn that athletes who blur the line between sport and political activism risk undermining both their platform and the spirit of international competition. 26:00 We Dig Deep into Ronald Reagan’s farewell address. It was a call to embrace patriotism and teach future generations the value of America’s principles. Decades later, surveys reveal a stark generational and partisan decline in national pride—especially among Gen Z, millennials, and Democrats—threatening the transmission of love for liberty, individual rights, and limited government. We explore Reagan’s warning, the data showing America’s waning patriotic spirit, and why teaching children the meaning and history of the nation is more critical than ever. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Alcohol sales are slowing in the U.S., with a staggering $22 billion in unsold inventory, affecting whiskey, tequila, and rum alike. While lower prices might delight consumers, the real story could be deeper: younger generations are drinking less, possibly swapping cocktails for cannabis as legalization spreads. We break down changing consumption habits, and what this shift means for health, culture, and the future of America’s drinking trends. 35:30 New research from Tufts University shows that family dinners aren’t just a nice tradition—they’re a powerful tool for keeping kids off alcohol, vaping, and marijuana. It’s not just about eating together; it’s about the quality of conversation, connection, and attention at the table. We dig into how daily family interactions shape adolescents’ choices, strengthen bonds, and even lay the foundation for a healthier society. A simple habit like dinner could be one of the most effective ways to raise resilient, grounded kids. 39:30 At the 2026 Winter Olympics, Norwegian biathlete Sturla Lagrid shocked fans—not with his bronze medal performance, but with a tearful, on-camera confession about cheating on his girlfriend. We break down the awkward mix of Olympic glory and personal drama, wondering: are we watching a medal ceremony or a rom-com? 41:30 And we finish off with a passerby who saved a pregnant woman's life.

Can intuitive eating and weight loss exist at the same time… especially after having kids? In this episode of Nutrition for Mamas, postpartum dietitian Brooke Miller talks with board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Stefanie Reinald about the real, nuanced middle ground between intuitive eating and wanting to lose weight as a mom. If you've ever felt: • Guilty for wanting your jeans to fit again • Confused by anti-diet culture • Uncomfortable in your postpartum body • Afraid to track food but unsure what your body needs • Told you must “accept your body” even when you don't feel healthy This conversation is for you. We discuss: • What intuitive eating actually gets right • Where intuitive eating can miss the mark for moms • Why wanting weight loss is not automatically unhealthy • How nourishing your body can naturally support fat loss • Protein and fiber needs for postpartum moms • Hormones, set-point weight, and metabolism after pregnancy • When tracking food helps vs when it hurts • Why the scale is neutral (but not always helpful) • GLP-1 medications and modern weight culture • How to feel more comfortable in your body today • Healthy motivation vs punishment mindset Dr. Reinald shares clinical insight from working with women with eating disorders, postpartum mental health struggles, and hormone imbalances, along with her personal experience as a mom of four. This episode is Part 2 of our burnout series. Watch Part 1 for burnout, hormones, ADHD in moms, and exhaustion after baby.

Avallone. This is the full show for February 9, 2026. 0:30 Chicago’s murder rate is plunging—but the political fight over why is just getting started. We break down the stunning drop in homicides and violent crime in Chicago, including a nearly 30% decline and the lowest murder total in decades. While even Mayor Brandon Johnson is forced to acknowledge the numbers, the real debate centers on what caused the turnaround: tougher enforcement, consequences for criminals, and the impact of President Trump’s National Guard deployments. From Chicago to Washington, D.C., the data is colliding head-on with the narrative, raising an uncomfortable question for Democrats—do results matter more than politics? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. A federal appeals court has backed the Trump Administration on detaining illegal immigrants without bond. A Georgia man was sentenced to three years and five months in prison for threatening to kill President Trump. Teachers in San Francisco left students stranded today as they went on strike in the middle of the school year. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

While advertisers spent millions on English-language commercials to reach the Super Bowl audience, the halftime performance was entirely in Spanish—raising questions about who the NFL is actually trying to reach. The controversy has shifted attention away from the game itself and onto concerns about brand dilution, misplaced priorities, and a league that appears more focused on symbolism than delivering the best possible football experience. 16:30 We got a question in for our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson: Why are so many young women out rioting against the police in Minnesota? We discuss the idea that women are biologically wired to nurture and protect the vulnerable—and what happens when that instinct has nowhere traditional to go. As motherhood and family life are increasingly discouraged, that protective drive is redirected toward political causes, activist movements, and protest culture. The discussion looks at how this “mama bear” instinct hasn’t disappeared, but has been repurposed, helping explain why modern progressive activism is often dominated by young women fiercely fighting for causes they believe are under threat.

Drawing on a message released at the opening of the Winter Olympics, the Pope emphasizes discipline, sacrifice, humility, and the lessons learned in both victory and defeat. Winning isn’t about outperforming others—it’s about the journey, the grind, and shared commitment. Losing isn’t failure, but a teacher. Against the backdrop of a Super Bowl dominated by controversy rather than the game itself, this moment highlights what sports are meant to be: a shared human endeavor that builds character, not a branding exercise or political platform. 26:30 Winning the Super Bowl in California can actually leave NFL players poorer than when they started. Because of California’s aggressive “jock tax,” players are taxed not just on their Super Bowl bonus, but on a prorated share of their entire season’s income based on the days they spent in the state. The result: some players owed California tens of thousands of dollars more than they earned from the game—even after winning it. We break down how state tax policy dramatically affects player earnings, why teams in no-income-tax states have a built-in financial advantage, and how the same tax logic is now being used to chase businesses and high-income earners who leave states like California and New York. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 The Super Bowl halftime show is under fire after translations revealed sexually explicit lyrics broadcast to a national audience—hidden behind a language most viewers don’t speak. Critics argue the content crossed the line into obscene and pornographic material, violating FCC indecency standards that apply regardless of language. A U.S. congressman is now calling for formal action against the NFL, the network, and the performer, saying content that would never be allowed in English was effectively smuggled onto broadcast television in Spanish. The controversy raises serious questions about double standards, broadcast decency laws, and whether the NFL knowingly exposed families to explicit sexual content during America’s biggest sporting event. 36:00 U.S. liquefied natural gas exports are surging to record highs, marking a major reversal from the export restrictions that held the energy sector back in recent years. With LNG shipments climbing and new global buyers emerging, American energy is once again displacing Russian gas in Europe and beyond—cutting off funding for hostile regimes while strengthening U.S. leverage on the world stage. The boom is also fueling jobs at home, from drillers and welders to shipbuilders and landowners, while delivering cleaner energy with lower emissions. Rising LNG exports aren’t just an energy story—they’re about national security, economic growth, and America reclaiming its role as a global energy powerhouse. 39:30 Weight loss and self-improvement are supposed to strengthen relationships—but new data suggests the opposite is happening for many couples. A growing number of people using GLP-1 weight-loss drugs report breakups triggered by jealousy and insecurity from their partners after major physical changes. When one person improves and the other can’t—or won’t—celebrate that success, relationships begin to crack. The discussion highlights a deeper issue about modern relationships: whether couples are truly built on mutual support, or only comfortable as long as neither person grows beyond the other. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with llamas who help police catch a criminal. Articles Appeals court affirms Trump policy of jailing immigrants without bond Georgia man accused of threatening Trump sentenced to prison Blue City’s Teachers Go AWOL, Leave Kids With Empty Schools To Demand Better Pay Super Bowl Jock Tax Calculator The Tax Advantage of Playing in the AFC South U.S. LNG exports hit new high as Turkey buys big TMZ's Halftime Show Poll Isn't Going the Way They Hoped Andrew Kovet X Post: "The All-American Halftime Show pulled in OVER 25 MILLION views" Amid rampant AI and social media, Gen Z is turning to religion | Opinion Follow us: americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

February is Pro Life Month, and we're honored to welcome Jen Wilson back to the show to talk about Young Lives ministry, why it matters, and how each of us can love young mamas well from right where we are. Jen shares the powerful story of how God planted the seed for this ministry in the middle of her own cancer journey, and how saying yes to this work has radically changed her life. Through Young Lives, teen moms are seen, known, supported, and reminded that they are deeply loved by God and by the people walking alongside them. This conversation is both encouraging and practical. Jen helps us think through what it looks like to step outside our comfort zones, listen for God's call, and respond with obedience, even when it's not easy. As she beautifully says, "It's not easy, but it's an incredible privilege." There are so many ways to get involved with Young Lives through prayer, financial support, providing a meal, helping with childcare, mentoring a young mama, or supporting an upcoming local shopping event later this month. If you've ever wondered how God might be inviting you to love well in a tangible way, this episode is for you.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 6, 2026. 0:30 We rip into the growing entitlement mindset among powerful politicians, zeroing in on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s executive order targeting ICE and comparing it to high-profile defiance from leaders like Gavin Newsom. Power corrupts, empathy erodes, and accountability disappears when elected officials start believing they deserve authority rather than serve at the will of the people. From sanctuary city policies and federal vs. local law to the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, this political theater isn’t just unconstitutional — it’s dangerous, distracting, and could cost lives. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. One of the terrorists involved in the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya was finally arrested today. Zubayr Al-Bakoush was arrested and extradited to the US, landing at Andrews Air Force base early Friday morning. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals voided a lower courts ruling that blocked President Trump's anti-DEI orders. Republican Congressman Mark Amodei announced he's retiring from Congress and won't seek another term in office. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We break down a Department of Justice investigation into Georgia state legislators accused of COVID unemployment fraud and the clear pattern of corruption among Democratic lawmakers. We focus on three Georgia Democrats caught stealing thousands in pandemic unemployment benefits while fully employed and earning steady incomes — money meant for families who couldn’t pay rent or buy groceries during lockdowns. This wasn’t confusion or paperwork errors, but deliberate fraud, and Georgia is just one example of a nationwide problem of political abuse of COVID relief funds. 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson if they are going to see “Melania,” the new documentary about First Lady Melania Trump. We dive into why the film — which follows the days leading up to Donald Trump’s second inauguration — has shattered box office expectations, becoming the top-grossing non-musical documentary of the past decade. From Melania’s privacy, intelligence, and fashion choices to her mystique, media treatment, and contrast with other First Ladies, the conversation explores why so many viewers are curious about the woman the press rarely portrays. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We highlight a surprising admission from CNN data analyst Harry Enten: the MAGA movement isn’t going anywhere, even after Donald Trump leaves the White House. We break down why Make America Great Again was never just a slogan or a single candidate, but a long-building response to political elites, big government, and a ruling class disconnected from everyday Americans. Tracing a clear line from Ross Perot to the Tea Party to MAGA, this movement endures because it taps into core American values like national sovereignty, economic fairness, and representation over management. A blunt discussion on why MAGA outlives Trump — and why the American idea behind it can’t be canceled, mocked, or erased. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the media narrative surrounding Melania and why critics insist on calling a flop — despite the numbers saying the exact opposite. With over $7 million in its opening weekend, a top-three box office finish, and now surpassing $10 million in total gross, the film has become the highest-grossing documentary opening of the past decade. Compare the objective box office data with the open media hostility with headlines from major outlets that dismiss the film while ignoring the facts. We also highlight the stunning gap on Rotten Tomatoes — 8% approval from professional critics versus a 99% audience score — proof of a growing disconnect between legacy media and everyday viewers. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We react to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Queens town hall, where the congresswoman crossed a dangerous line — training activists on how to obstruct federal agents and dox law enforcement, while openly bragging about voting against funding the Department of Homeland Security. We question wheter AOC’s actions amount to encouraging illegal activity, raising serious concerns about aiding and abetting, obstruction of justice, and respect for the rule of law. But here's the core issue: you don’t get to ignore laws you don’t like, even if you’re a member of Congress. 35:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From left-wing activists setting up their own “border patrols" to ICE headlines, Olympic Committee absurdity, witchcraft at GOP meetings, voter ID chaos, and Babylon Bee satire coming true, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We take aim at Billie Eilish’s “no one is illegal on stolen land” comment, pointing out the irony after the Tongva Tribe publicly noted that her $3 million mansion sits on their ancestral land. We unpack the logical fallout of the “stolen land” argument, questioning where it ends and what it means for property rights, immigration debates, and the rule of law. 41:00 And we finish off with a record-breaking journey that will make you say, "Whoa!

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 5, 2026. 0:30 We dig into Trump’s underappreciated strategy of political misdirection, starting with the infamous Greenland proposal and pivoting to a far more serious — and far less mocked — possibility: Alberta. As media elites rolled their eyes, were quiet conversations happening behind the scenes with Canadian separatists from the energy-rich province of Alberta? With U.S.–Canada relations already strained by tariffs, trade wars, and Trump’s “51st state” trolling, the discussion explores Alberta’s growing independence movement, its economic dominance within Canada, and whether sovereignty — or even alignment with the United States — is legally and politically plausible. Is this about energy, geography, national defense, or leverage on the global stage? And was Greenland ever the real story at all? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump is announcing the launch of a new website tonight designed to help people get prescription drugs at a lower cost. A self described ANTIFA leader was arrested this week for threatening to kill ICE Agents. The State of Missouri is suing the Federal Government over how it counts people in the Census. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 An anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis crossed a dangerous line, and now there are serious consequences. We break down the arrest of Elizabeth Rose, a 42-year-old activist charged with assaulting federal agents after allegedly ramming an ICE vehicle. As vehicle attacks against ICE officers surge nationwide — with DHS data showing hundreds of incidents across the country — the conversation shifts from protest and free speech to violence, enforcement, and the rule of law. When does activism stop being protected speech and become a felony? Using a car as a weapon against federal law enforcement isn’t civil disobedience — it’s assault, and it can be deadly. 16:00 Is it sexist to think of Michelle Obama as Barack Obama’s wife — or is that just reality?American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on Michelle Obama’s recent comments claiming she was reduced to “just the president’s wife,” despite her elite education and career. Drawing on their own experiences being proudly known by family ties, the conversation challenges the modern idea that being identified through a spouse is somehow degrading. From Harvard Law and bestseller book deals to White House privilege, therapy disclosures, and public criticism of Barack Obama, we contrast Michelle Obama with past First Ladies like Nancy Reagan and asks a blunt question: when does empowerment turn into entitlement? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 A devastating crash in Indiana reignites a furious national debate over illegal immigration, public safety, and who is being put at risk on America’s highways. We react to reports that an illegal over-the-road truck driver was involved in a crash that killed a father and his three sons — yet another tragedy that could have been prevented. The discussion zeroes in on states accused of looking the other way by issuing commercial licenses to illegal immigrants, the role of lax enforcement and open-border policies, and why 40-ton 18-wheelers become deadly weapons in the wrong hands. With pointed criticism of the Biden administration and state leaders, we ask a blunt question: if someone isn’t legally allowed to be in the country, why are they allowed to drive across it? 25:30 America’s biggest cities are sitting on a financial time bomb, and the numbers are staggering. We Dig Deep into a new Truth in Accounting report that examines the true fiscal health of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Philadelphia — factoring in debts, assets, and massive unfunded pension liabilities. The result: every one of these Democrat-run cities carries a crushing taxpayer burden, with residents on the hook for anywhere from $1,300 in Los Angeles to a jaw-dropping $61,700 per person in New York City. The conversation zeroes in on runaway spending, backroom union deals, unfunded pensions, and the assumption that federal bailouts will always save the day. With strong-mayor systems, one-party rule, and governing by ideology instead of math, fiscal reality always wins. From Chicago’s $42,600 per-person debt to warnings that New Orleans may be next, how long can America’s largest cities ignore the numbers before bankruptcy becomes unavoidable? 32:30 As the search continues for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, new and troubling details emerge. We discuss reports that law enforcement has arrested an individual for allegedly creating a fake ransom notice, even as authorities say they still have no identified suspect in the disappearance of the 84-year-old woman. The conversation turns to an unexpected development: President Donald Trump directing federal law enforcement to assist Guthrie’s family, setting politics aside during a deeply human crisis. Despite years of tension between Trump and NBC News, this moment complicates the media’s usual narrative — and underscores the seriousness with which the federal government is treating the case. 35:30 President Donald Trump used the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. to deliver a message rarely heard from modern presidents — and to announce a major faith-centered event on the National Mall this May. We highlight Trump’s call to rededicate America as “one nation under God." Drawing from the Declaration of Independence, George Washington’s warnings, and the idea that rights come from God — not government — the discussion explores faith, gratitude, and moral accountability in leadership. While Trump veered off script to criticize Democrats, the bigger story is a president openly invoking God, religion, and America’s founding principles in the public square. 39:30 New York City’s new mayor is already under fire — and now Washington is stepping in. We break down how Mayor Zohran Mamdani moved quickly after taking office to nullify multiple pro-Israel executive orders signed by former Mayor Eric Adams, quietly reshaping how the city defines antisemitism and positions itself toward Israel. That decision has triggered a U.S. Senate committee investigation, led in part by Senator Bill Cassidy, who warns that antisemitism in New York is not theoretical but a daily reality for millions of Jewish residents. With billions in federal funding potentially on the line, the discussion zeroes in on whether New York City will tolerate antisemitism — and what it means for the city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel. Articles Trump launches discount drug platform: What to know Missouri AG sues over counting of illegal aliens in census A new measure of issue polarization using k-means clustering: US trends 1988–2024 and predictors of polarization across the world "Since 1988, polarization in the US has been overwhelmingly due to the Left moving leftward, while the Right has basically stayed the same.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 4, 2026. 0:30 We break down a deeply troubling decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to let California’s new congressional map move forward for the 2026 midterms without so much as a single dissent. We walk through why the Court is signaling that political gerrymandering is fair game as long as it isn’t explicitly racial, and how Democrats in California used Proposition 50 to wipe out the last illusion of independent redistricting. How do you guarantee a republican form of government when one party can rewrite the map mid-decade to lock in power? We compare California to Texas, revisit past Supreme Court signals, and confront the reality that this may be the rules of the game—even if those rules are poisoning public trust in our elections. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Supreme Court ruled today that the state of California can use its new congressional maps in this year's upcoming elections.That could allow Democrats to pick up 5 extra seats in the house due to massive gerrymandering in the redrawn boundaries. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons is recommending postponing any gender related surgeries until after patients reach the age of 19.

Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We break down Massachusetts’ so-called “Freedom to Move Act” and why, despite the branding, it’s really about reducing how much you’re allowed to drive and quietly limiting freedom of movement. Setting targets for vehicle miles traveled opens the door to fewer roads, less parking, slower speeds, and a growing push to force people onto public transportation whether it works for their lives or not. This isn’t about environmental policy—it’s about government deciding where and how you’re allowed to go. Real freedom doesn’t come from the state managing your movement; it comes from the government protecting your right to move without interference. 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson how they survived the historic ice storm that shut down much of the South, and what they saw when things got hard. From families stranded for hours on icy interstates, communities without power for days, and everyday people stepping up long before government help arrived. We talk about neighbors using ATVs to deliver food, water, diapers, and gas, strangers helping strangers, and why disasters have a way of revealing both resilience and character. When systems fail and the weather turns brutal, real strength still comes from faith, family, and community—and that given the chance, Americans will show up for one another. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We talk about the post-Dobbs reality, where abortion rates are actually rising in blue states, and why claiming “victory” is either naïve or dishonest. We walk through why leaders like Pope Leo and Mother Teresa were right to call abortion the greatest threat to peace, and why a society that treats unborn life as disposable can never truly be just or peaceful. We also connect the dots between abortion, euthanasia, and assisted suicide, including chilling policies in places like Canada and parts of the U.S. The message is simple and uncomfortable: when a culture abandons the value of innocent human life, everything else begins to unravel. 26:00 We Dig Deep into why the SAVE Act — the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act — should be a no-brainer for anyone who actually cares about election integrity. We walk through what the bill really does: requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and ending online voter registration that’s ripe for fraud in an age of bots and AI. We look at the polling that demolishes the left’s favorite talking point, showing overwhelming support for voter ID across party lines and across racial groups. And we ask the uncomfortable but obvious question: if Democrats insist our elections are secure and only citizens are voting, why are they so desperate to kill the SAVE Act? The answer, frankly, doesn’t reflect well on them — and it raises serious red flags about who they want voting and why. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We take on the NFL’s bizarre announcement that ICE will not operate in or around the Super Bowl and ask the obvious question: since when does the NFL get to tell federal law enforcement where it’s allowed to do its job? We cut through the celebrity optics, activist pressure, and performative virtue signaling to talk about who actually attends the most expensive sporting event on the planet and whether the Super Bowl even makes sense as an immigration enforcement target. The conversation exposes the absurdity of carving out de facto “immigration-free zones” for optics while pretending it’s about safety or compassion. At the end of the day, this isn’t about football — it’s about who really runs the country and whether federal law still applies when celebrities, corporations, and political narratives get uncomfortable. 35:30 We talk about a real bright spot coming out of Republican-led states: serious efforts to cut — and in some cases eliminate — property taxes on homeowners. We break down why no American should ever risk losing their home simply because they can’t keep paying rent to the government, especially after they’ve already bought and paid for it. We connect the dots between rising property taxes, declining homeownership, and the destruction of generational wealth, particularly for young families and seniors on fixed incomes. We contrast red states looking for ways to lower the tax burden with blue states doubling down on higher taxes, and explain why targeted reforms — protecting primary residences while still taxing second homes, luxury properties, and corporations — are about economic freedom, not government handouts. 39:30 We react to the horrifying report that Savannah Guthrie’s elderly mother may have been abducted from her home, with blood found on the porch and her purse, phone, and life-sustaining medications left behind. We talk through the disturbing details, the possibility of a ransom demand involving Bitcoin, and the very real concern for her health and safety. We also reflect on President Trump’s response after being asked about the case — setting politics aside and calling it “absolutely horrifying,” while offering to personally reach out and help. This is one of those moments that cuts past media narratives and partisan lines, reminding us just how fragile life is and why this story stops you cold. 41:00 And finish off with an unbelievable and deeply moving story of survival when a family kayaking trip turned into a life-or-death fight against the ocean.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 3, 2026. 0:30 Federal Judge Anne Rice blocks deportations—and now her political donations are raising serious questions. We into the growing backlash after it was revealed that a Biden-appointed judge who halted the Trump administration’s effort to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian immigrants donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates and causes before taking the bench. The hosts argue this isn’t just about immigration policy, but about judicial activism, nationwide injunctions, and courts stepping far beyond their constitutional role. Is allowing a temporary program to expire really “racist,” or is this another example of lawfare undermining the separation of powers? From conflicts of interest to a brewing constitutional crisis, this conversation pulls no punches on activist judges, immigration enforcement, and the rule of law. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The House of Representatives passed a funding bill designed to end the current partial government shutdown.Democrats in the Senate had refused to pass the standard funding bills that passed the House last month, and are instead demanding Republicans pull funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

We break down multiple federal investigations into Democratic state lawmakers accused of stealing COVID unemployment benefits while they were fully employed and collecting taxpayer-funded salaries. According to prosecutors, three Georgia Democrat legislators allegedly pocketed tens of thousands of dollars meant for families who were truly out of work during pandemic lockdowns. This wasn’t a paperwork mistake but a clear abuse of emergency relief funds, exposing a broader, nationwide problem of Democrat-led fraud during COVID. From hypocrisy over lockdown policies to the DOJ finally stepping in, this conversation takes a hard look at accountability, government corruption, and who really benefited from pandemic relief programs. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on one of the most talked-about political documentaries of the year: Melania. They react to the surprise box office success of the film, which follows the 20 days leading up to Donald Trump’s second inauguration and Melania Trump’s return as First Lady. With more than $7 million in ticket sales, the documentary shattered expectations—and sparked curiosity. From Melania’s privacy, intelligence, and faith to her fashion choices and life behind the scenes, the conversation explores why she remains one of the most mysterious and misunderstood First Ladies in modern history. The Mamas compare her to past First Ladies, push back on media narratives, and explain why this film feels like a moment of redemption after years of controversy. Love her or hate her, this is a cultural moment—and a documentary—that has people talking.

We react to explosive comments from Rep. Jerry Nadler targeting ICE agents, accusing them of “fascism” and igniting concerns about political rhetoric, law enforcement safety, and the rule of law. But the discussion doesn’t stop there. The controversy opens the door to a fascinating interview with author Jack Bialik, whose book Lost in Time explores how entire civilizations have lost—and later rediscovered—critical knowledge. From ancient cataract surgery to forgotten technologies and the fragility of digital data, the conversation connects today’s political chaos to a broader warning: when societies lose institutional memory, they lose stability. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

After fraud scandals involving foreign nationals, the Trump administration now requires SBA loans to go only to businesses that are 100% owned by U.S. citizens or nationals. The logic is simple: taxpayers shouldn’t bankroll people who haven’t sworn allegiance to the country. Government-backed loans without accountability corrupt the system and punish honest entrepreneurs. 36:00 Apartment rents are quietly falling—and that’s no accident. We break down new CNBC data showing national median rents dropping to their lowest level in four years, a rare bright spot amid the affordability crisis. We dive into why rents are falling now, from increased housing supply and lighter regulation in red states to market forces finally speaking louder than politics. Also, thanks President Trump’s immigration enforcement, higher vacancy rates in states like Florida and Texas are forcing landlords to lower prices. With construction booming in Republican-led states and confidence returning to the economy, this is a case study in how border enforcement, deregulation, and market-driven housing policy can put downward pressure on rent—and put American renters first. 39:30 Pop star Billie Eilish’s “no one is illegal on stolen land” comment sparks instant backlash—and major irony. We break down how the Tongva tribe publicly responded by pointing out that Eilish’s $3 million mansion sits on their ancestral land. What starts as a celebrity soundbite quickly turns into a deeper debate over “stolen land,” property rights, and the logical contradictions behind activist talking points. 41:30 And we wrap up today's show with an incredible voyage that will make you say, "Whoa!" In an inspiring reminder of grit and personal growth, we spotlight Taryn Smith, who set out to row across the Atlantic Ocean—despite never having been in a rowboat before making the decision. Just 46 days after leaving the coast of Africa, Smith arrived in Antigua, becoming the first American woman to row solo across the Atlantic.

Are you a mom who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, and mentally drained… even when your baby is sleeping? You are not lazy. You are not broken. And this is not “just motherhood.” In this episode of Nutrition for Mamas, postpartum dietitian and lactation counselor Brooke Miller interviews board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Stefanie Reinald to unpack what burnout in motherhood really looks like, how it differs from postpartum depression and anxiety, and why so many moms feel depleted years after having a baby. We cover: • Signs of mom burnout vs postpartum depression • Why nutrient depletion after pregnancy makes exhaustion worse • Hormone shifts after birth that impact mood, focus, and energy • Iron deficiency, vitamin D, and under-eating postpartum • Why ADHD is often diagnosed after motherhood • The mental load of modern moms • Working moms vs stay at home moms and burnout risk • Why “pushing harder” makes things worse • Simple ways to feel like yourself again without optimizing your life to death Dr. Reinald shares clinical insight from working with thousands of women plus her own experience as a mom of four navigating postpartum mental health, career pressure, and identity loss. If you've ever thought: “I shouldn't feel this tired.” “I used to handle more than this.” “I love my kids but I feel empty.” This episode will change how you see your body, brain, and season of life.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for February 2, 2026. 0:30 When Donald Trump floats a bold idea, the reaction is instant—and explosive. We dive into the firestorm sparked by Trump’s comments about potentially nationalizing elections in states with broken systems, and the predictable cries of “dictator” and “authoritarian” that followed. But instead of panic, we slow things down and walk through the real constitutional, legal, and practical questions around election integrity, federal authority, and states’ rights. From Article I, Section 4, to the Equal Protection Clause, to the long-standing warnings in the Federalist Papers, this is a serious, clear-eyed discussion about voter fraud, mail-in ballots, and whether a nation that truly trusts its elections should be afraid to have this debate at all. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US is once again in a partial government shutdown. Last week, Democrats in the US Senate refused to pass a series of remaining funding bills that had previously been passed by Republicans in the House. The CEO of the nonprofit Abundant Blessings in Los Angeles has been arrested for fraud.First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said Alexander Soofer took $23 million of tax payer money ment to benefit homeless people in southern California and spent it instead on a lavish lifestyle with expensive vacations, a Range Rover, and designer clothes. Texas Democrat Taylor Rehmet beat Republican Leigh Wambsganss in a special election over the weekend for a Texas State Senate Seat. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

We unpack explosive claims that Google deliberately degraded its search results to force users to search more often, rack up more ad views, and boost profits after hitting market saturation. Drawing on DOJ lawsuit memos, internal Google power struggles, and the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and alternatives like DuckDuckGo, the conversation digs into Big Tech arrogance, antitrust concerns, and why users are quietly abandoning traditional search. From “don’t be evil” to profit-first search manipulation, this is a blunt look at how Google may have broken its own product—and why people are finally noticing. 16:00 Did the Grammys turn into a night of hypocrisy and virtue signaling? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson break down what they saw at the Grammy Awards—from nauseating fashion and celebrity grandstanding to public shots at ICE and the on-air bashing of Nicki Minaj. We dive into Hollywood double standards, cancel culture, and why Minaj’s faith, resilience, and clapback resonated with so many viewers. The Mamas also contrast Jelly Roll’s bold Christian testimony with what they describe as darker, more provocative performances, framing the night as a snapshot of a larger cultural and spiritual battle. It’s a no-holds-barred take on the Grammys, celebrity hypocrisy, and why standing firm in faith matters more than ever. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. We break down why the First Amendment is not a shield for trespassing, disrupting worship, or breaking the law, dismantling celebrity outrage over so-called “journalistic rights” in the wake of Grammy-era protests. From Don Lemon to Hollywood activists, there is no special exemption from criminal law just because a camera is rolling. The conversation then pivots to California’s future with an in-depth interview featuring Steve Hilton, Republican candidate for governor. Hilton, an immigrant who fled the legacy of European socialism, lays out a stark indictment of one-party Democratic rule, soaring costs, crushing regulations, and mass exodus from the Golden State. Framing California as the epicenter of far-left extremism with national consequences, Hilton makes the case for restoring common sense, economic freedom, and constitutional order—warning that this race could determine not just California’s fate, but America’s direction. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

We break down how illegal immigration dropped to historic lows under Trump, only to explode under Biden as enforcement collapsed and asylum law was fundamentally twisted. The result wasn’t compassion, but chaos: a system flipped on its head, overwhelmed communities, and an asylum process so diluted that over 95% of claims ultimately fail. Abusing asylum doesn’t just undermine immigration law—it erodes the rights of Americans and destroys a tool meant to protect the truly persecuted. 35:30 A landmark $2 million jury verdict could reshape the national debate over so-called gender-affirming care for minors, and it's a Bright Spot. A New York jury—yes, in a deep blue state—held a doctor and psychiatrist accountable for approving and performing a double mastectomy on a 16-year-old girl who later detransitioned and says the irreversible procedure harmed her. This historic transgender medical malpractice verdict sends a clear message: doctors are not above accountability, especially when children and permanent surgeries are involved. After years of rushed evaluations, skipped safeguards, and the misuse of mental-health diagnoses to justify irreversible interventions, this ruling is a turning point—one that puts child protection, medical standards of care, and biological reality back at the center of the conversation. 40:00 Accountability suddenly got real. We react to reports that Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee after Congress threatened criminal contempt over their refusal to cooperate. At issue: what the Clintons know about the Epstein files—and why they initially declined to show up. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with a halftime show that will make you say, "Whoa!" Turning Point USA is taking on the Super Bowl halftime show—and doing it their own way. In response to the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny, TPUSA announced an alternative “All-American Halftime Show” featuring Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for January 30, 2026. 0:30 For decades, Chick-fil-A wasn’t just fast food — it was a cultural symbol, known for Christian values, closed Sundays, and a service-first mindset that set it apart from every other national brand. But a new article is raising questions about whether that identity has quietly changed. From shifts in charitable giving and accusations of abandoning Christian organizations, to debates over social media messaging, corporate neutrality, and ideological boycotts, we dig into what’s real, what’s rumor, and what actually matters to everyday customers. Is Chick-fil-A still the same company millions trusted — or is this another example of politics creeping into business? And more importantly, should consumers care as long as the chicken is good and the business isn’t hostile to their values? This conversation tackles faith, free markets, merit, cancel culture, and the growing pressure on companies to pick a side. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Reporter and former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested by federal authorities.He was part of a group of people who invaded a Christian Church service two weekends ago as part of the anti-ICE demonstrations in Minneapolis, Minnesota. President Trump has announced who he plans on naming as the next head of the Federal Reserve.Trump named Kevin Warsh to be the next Fed Chair. A federal Judge has dismissed murder charges against Luigi Mangione.Mangione is accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, shooting him from behind on the sidewalk just outside a hotel in Manhattan. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We react to an unconscionable move by Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, who has reportedly sent her top diplomat to the highest levels of the U.S. government — not to offer cooperation, but to demand that the United States stop targeting Mexican drug cartels. Instead of proposing joint operations to crush fentanyl trafficking or dismantle criminal empires, Sheinbaum’s priority appears to be protecting cartels from U.S. action. We dive into cartel violence, corruption, and control over entire regions of Mexico, while questioning whether the Mexican government is unwilling or simply unable to confront them. 16:00 Is Ashley Tisdale a victim of a toxic Hollywood mom clique — or is this just mean-girl drama with a grown-up twist? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on the actress’s viral op-ed claiming she was iced out by a celebrity mom group in California. From social media oversharing and jealousy to the dangers of calling out friend groups publicly, the conversation explores whether speaking out actually reveals more about the accuser than the accused. With stories every mom can relate to, we break down mom group dynamics, celebrity cliques, and why “bowing out gracefully” may be the wisest move — especially when kids, schools, and long-term relationships are involved. This candid discussion tackles toxic mom culture, Hollywood parenting drama, and the real-world consequences of airing friendship grievances online. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We break down a dramatic escalation in U.S. foreign policy as the Trump administration moves to effectively cut off oil money flowing from Venezuela and Mexico to communist Cuba. With sanctions finally being enforced, “ghost ships” carrying illegal Venezuelan oil are being seized, oil deliveries are drying up, and Cuba’s energy lifeline is collapsing. We connect the dots between Nicolás Maduro, the Cuban regime, and broader threats to U.S. national security, including terrorism and regional instability. Halted shipments from Mexico under U.S. pressure and energy companies pulling out of Cuba are part of a much larger strategy to dismantle hostile regimes in Venezuela, Cuba, and even Iran — and signals that America is no longer looking the other way. 25:30 A longtime Democrat strategist is now delivering a warning that has the Left fuming — and we can’t help but laugh. Rui Teixeira, author of Demographics Is Destiny, says the permanent Democrat majority he once predicted is collapsing, and unless Democrats radically change course, they’re headed for permanent minority status. His solution? Seven “realism” principles that sound a whole lot like Republican policy positions. From energy and economic growth to border security, merit over DEI, biological reality, and even patriotism, we down why Teixeira’s prescriptions are completely incompatible with today’s Democrat Party. And we ask the obvious question: if winning requires Democrats to believe everything Republicans already do, why have a Democrat Party at all? 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 The Democratic Party should take a page straight out of Seinfeld. Using George Costanza’s famous “do the opposite” philosophy, we make the case that every major Democrat instinct — on crime, border security, energy policy, culture, and government spending — has produced the exact opposite of what was promised. Compassion becomes chaos, equity breeds resentment, and progress leads to decline. Tying the analogy to recent warnings from Democrat strategist Rui Teixeira, the we explore whether Democrats could actually win again by abandoning their failed instincts and embracing the opposite approach. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From ICE chaos and AI images in Senate, to truly ridiculous stories involving Bruce Springsteen, kangaroos, and a “doomsday clock set to infinity," can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We reflect on the life and legacy of legendary Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz, following news that he has entered hospice care. More than a Hall of Fame football coach, Holtz was a mentor, a man of faith, and a relentless advocate for discipline, accountability, and personal responsibility. Drawing from personal encounters with him, the conversation highlights how Holtz focused on building men of character first — believing that winning followed naturally. It’s a heartfelt tribute to a leader who shaped generations far beyond the football field and a reminder of how rare and necessary moral clarity and unapologetic leadership are in today’s culture. 41:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about long life that will make you say, "Whoa!"
