You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 30, 2025. 0:30 We kick off today’s show with a major legal showdown as the U.S. Department of Justice takes aim at the state of Virginia over immigration and college tuition policy. We break down how Virginia law allows students without legal immigration status to qualify for discounted tuition if they attended Virginia schools, even as law-abiding U.S. citizens from states like West Virginia or North Carolina are forced to pay more. These benefits directly violate federal law, which prohibits states from offering post-secondary education benefits to illegal immigrants unless those same benefits are provided to all U.S. citizens on identical terms. It's a test of the Supremacy Clause and federal authority over immigration, and these policies normalize lawlessness one benefit at a time. 10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. US Attorney General Pam Bondi said this week that the DOJ has already indicted 98 people with fraud in Minnesota this year. A federal judge has ruled that the Trump Administration does not have the authority to block funding to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. President Trump will become the first non-Israeli to be awarded the Israel Prize. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

As scrutiny intensifies, the focus turns to empty daycare centers—previously exposed by independent reporting— that are now suddenly filled with children, raising serious questions about timing and credibility. 16:00 The American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson don’t hold back on this one. They take on the question of why it suddenly feels like everyone has a disability—and whether it’s about real need or working the system. While acknowledging legitimate conditions that truly require accommodations, they zero in on what they see as a disturbing trend: elite college students claiming disability status for special treatment, extra time, exemptions, and advantages. This isn’t about compassion anymore—it’s about entitlement. A culture that rewards victimhood, hands out loopholes, and teaches young people that being “broken” is a badge of honor. Comparing today’s mindset to the grit and pride of earlier generations, the Mamas warn that intelligence without ethics is dangerous, and a society that incentivizes weakness shouldn’t be surprised when responsibility, character, and resilience disappear.

The national currency has collapsed to record lows against the U.S. dollar, inflation has surged past 40 percent, and everyday life is becoming increasingly unlivable for ordinary Iranians. 24:30 Plus, we give director and actor Steven Grayhm a call. His film Sheepdog, is set to release nationwide on January 16, centered on the unseen battles of PTSD and the long-term cost of military service. Grayhm spent years traveling the country, listening to veterans, Gold Star families, and mental-health professionals, determined to tell their stories without political spin or Hollywood gloss. The result, he says, is a “love letter” to those who wore the uniform and the families who carried the burden alongside them. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

According to newly revealed information, more than $5 billion in HUD rental assistance payments during the final year of the Biden administration were flagged as questionable or improper—an eye-popping figure that immediately raises red flags. The most jaw-dropping detail: over 30,000 of those payments allegedly went to people who were already deceased. 35:30 New data shows Bible sales in the United States are booming, with double-digit growth two years in a row, and that's a Bright Spot. The resurgence isn’t limited to Bible sales alone. Church attendance is rising, especially among young people, with Catholic parishes seeing growth even in major cities like New York—places long declared spiritually dead by the secular elite. Add in the historic election of the first American pope, and the signs of a broader faith revival are hard to miss. 39:30 Here’s something that stopped us in our tracks: Charlie Kirk was the most searched name in the world in 2025. Not just in the United States—globally. More than any other news story, more than any other headline, Charlie Kirk topped Google search inquiries worldwide. 41:00 And we finish off today's episode with the most popular New Year's resolutions.

„Ein guter Vater muss nicht ständig bei den Kindern sein“, sagt Holger Wilder. Der 46-Jährigte ist auf einem Bauernhof auf Fehmarn großgeworden und nach kurzen Stippvisiten über Münster und Berlin wieder zurück auf den elterlichen Hof gezogen, um ihn zu übernehmen (www.buedlfarm.de) - und dort eine eigene Familie zu gründen. Wie er sein Vatersein in dieser Zeit erlebt hat und wie es sich jetzt mit zwei Teenagern lebt, erfahren wir in dieser Podcastfolge. Im Interview mit Florian von der Online-Community Echte Papas und Marco (www.menshealth.de/dad) erzählt Holger, warum Land-Kinder anders sind als Stadt-Kinder, was er bei der Erziehung bewusst anders gemacht hat als sein Vater, vor welchen Herausforderungen Familien auf dem Lande stehen und wohin seine Kinder, als sie noch klein waren, am liebsten in den Urlaub gefahren sind (nämlich auf den Bauernhof). Seine wichtigste Einsicht wollen wir aber schon hier verraten: „Am Ende kackt die Kuh.“ Zusätzlich gibt es natürlich auch dieses Mal wieder einen neuen Song auf der Spotify-Playlist der ECHTEN PAPAS: https://spoti.fi/2Zutj4H, natürlich ausgesucht von André. Am besten die Spotify-Playlist gleich downloaden, anhören und abonnieren wie auch den Podcast selbst. Und für alle Mamas, die hier mithören, noch ein Podcast-Tipp: Hört auch mal in den Podcast @echtemamas.ehrlichgesagt rein, vor allem in die aktuelle Folge mit Fanny Husten. Ihr habt Feedback? Zu der Playlist? Zu dieser Folge? Oder eine allgemeine Frage? Dann schreibt gerne eine Mail an: podcast@echtepapas.de! Und jetzt: Viel Spaß beim Hören!

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 29, 2025. 0:30 The Trump administration is making it clear that nothing is off the table — including student loans. After years of COVID-era pauses and repeated promises of mass loan forgiveness under Democrats, the Department of Education is restarting enforcement in a big way. Beginning January 7, 2026, borrowers who have been in default for at least 270 days will start receiving wage-garnishment notices, with up to 15% of their pay withheld after a mandatory 30-day warning period. This move is about restoring accountability after Washington trained millions of borrowers to believe student loans would never have to be repaid. Federal control of student lending exploded college costs, trapped borrowers in debt they can’t discharge through bankruptcy, and unfairly shifted the burden onto taxpayers — especially working-class Americans who paid their loans responsibly, chose cheaper schools, or skipped college entirely. Critics warn it could anger some young voters, but others see it as long-overdue fairness: if you borrowed the money, you repay it. The larger message is unmistakable — consequences are back, and the federal government may finally be stepping out of the student loan business altogether. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US struck a Venezuelan port over the weekend. The department of Justice says the suspect in the attempted bombings of both the Republican and Democratic National Headquarters in Washington D.C. on January 5th, 2021 has confessed. California has dropped its lawsuit against the Trump Administration for pulling funding from it's high speed train project. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 An independent journalist’s reporting is putting a harsh spotlight on staggering incompetence and massive fraud inside Minnesota’s daycare subsidy system. YouTuber Nick Shirley released video showing dozens of state-funded daycare centers, primarily in Minneapolis’ Somali community, that are allegedly being paid to care for large numbers of children, in some cases as many as 95 per location, despite no children being visible on site. If accurate, the scale of the alleged fraud could total hundreds of millions of dollars. While some aspects of Shirley’s approach have drawn criticism for being overly sensational, the core reporting raises serious questions the state has yet to answer. Locked doors, blacked-out windows, and empty facilities don’t automatically prove wrongdoing, but the absence of clear evidence that these centers are operating as claimed is alarming. Compounding the issue is Governor Tim Walz’s shifting response — initially dismissing calls for scrutiny as racist, only for his office later to claim the state has been investigating the issue for years. The contradiction fuels concerns that political defensiveness, rather than transparency, has defined Minnesota’s handling of the situation. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a timeless and uncomfortable question: do people ever really grow out of being bullies? Drawing from personal experience, the Mamas reflect on how bullying doesn’t always disappear with age — it often just changes form. From middle school hallways to college campuses and even retirement communities, the same cliques, cruelty, and power plays can resurface decades later. The conversation explores the difference between “mean girls” and true bullying, and how time and perspective can turn anger into compassion — especially for those who do the work to grow and evolve.

Agents raised concerns about the legality and optics of the raid, yet those objections were dismissed in a single-minded effort to “get Trump,” regardless of constitutional limits or institutional damage. 26:30 We Dig Deep into new data that challenges a long-standing talking point on the left about illegal immigrant crime. According to a New York Post column by Dr. John Lott Jr., Department of Homeland Security data shows that illegal immigrants make up roughly 14 percent of those incarcerated in New York—despite representing only a small fraction of the state’s population. That translates to conviction rates nearly three times higher than those of native New Yorkers, including serious violent and sexual offenses. Lax border enforcement sends a dangerous message that the law is optional—starting at the border and spreading everywhere else. Sanctuary policies shield criminals from ICE, driving up crime and forcing taxpayers to absorb massive costs for incarceration, healthcare, and welfare support. 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 Activist groups are calling on AT&T to cut ties with federal agencies like DHS, ICE, and Customs and Border Protection, as if enforcing immigration law is a moral crime. These pressure campaigns have real-world consequences. AT&T has worked with the federal government for decades and severing those contracts would likely cost American jobs with no effect on immigration enforcement itself. 36:00 New research links the decline of religious participation in the United States to a rise in what researchers call “deaths of despair,” including suicides, drug overdoses, and alcohol-related disease. According to a study published in the Journal of the European Economic Association, these troubling mortality trends began increasing in the early 1990s, following a measurable drop in faith and religious engagement. Practices tied to religion—such as prayer, meditation, moral reflection, and community worship—help strengthen emotional regulation, resilience, and a sense of meaning. When those practices fade, they are often replaced by substitutes that offer stimulation without purpose, distraction without fulfillment, or treatment without addressing the deeper spiritual void. Faith is more than preparation for the next life. It is a source of comfort, connection, and stability in this one, and that's a Bright Spot. 39:30 We break down Nancy Pelosi’s decision to tear up President Trump’s State of the Union address. The act was not merely a political jab at Trump, but a direct insult to the institution of the presidency, Congress, and the American people. 41:30 And we finish off with a record-breaking kiss under the mistletoe that will make you say, "Whoa!"

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 23, 2025. 0:30 We react to a 6–3 Supreme Court ruling blocking the president from deploying the National Guard to protect federal officers and property in Chicago — at least for now. We dig into the shadow docket ruling, sharp dissents from Justices Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch, and what this means for sanctuary cities nationwide. Is this a narrow procedural pause, or a dangerous precedent that weakens federal authority? This decision raises serious questions about executive power, immigration enforcement, and whether the Constitution now bends to sanctuary politics. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US economy grew at an impressive 4.3% in the third quarter of this year according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. President Trump is tripling the self-deportation bonus for illegal immigrants through the end of the year. Former Republican Senator Ben Sasse announced he has pancreatic cancer. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 A controversial ICE holiday stunt ignites debate with an AI video depicting a muscular, tactical Santa Claus as an ICE officer. We break down ICE’s nationwide enforcement push, including a $3,000 self-deportation incentive and paid airfare for illegal immigrants — and ask whether using Santa Claus crosses a cultural line. While acknowledging the legality of enforcement and self-deportation efforts, we question the optics, the use of AI over real artists, and the impact on children who associate Santa with Christmas, not immigration raids. Is this tough-but-fair messaging, or a step too far that politicizes a holiday icon? 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson how they are celebrating Christmas this year. A heartfelt Christmas conversation with the American Mamas turns reflective as traditions, faith, and culture collide. From decorating habits and post-Christmas takedowns to honoring family traditions like a beloved Christmas soup party, the discussion quickly moves beyond schedules and decorations. We dive into growing nostalgia for “old-fashioned” Christmas, concerns about cultural and spiritual erosion, and a shared sense that faith itself is under pressure. As fewer Americans attend church but still celebrate Christmas, the Mamas explore whether a spiritual awakening is underway — and why more people are speaking openly about Christian values again. It’s a timely, emotional look at Christmas not just as a holiday, but as a cultural and spiritual battleground.

County officials have admitted that more than 315,000 ballots were counted without legally required signatures, despite Georgia law mandating them. With the presidential race in Georgia decided by roughly 11,000 votes and Fulton County overwhelmingly favoring Joe Biden, the numbers alone demand serious scrutiny. We compare this revelation to similar disputes in Pennsylvania and Arizona, question past Supreme Court rulings on standing, and contend that if the political roles were reversed, the media response would be deafening. Instead, the story is being buried because it challenges an outcome that was already deemed settled. 26:30 Early 2028 presidential buzz is already heating up, and a new straw poll is sending a clear message about where conservative voters are leaning. At Turning Point USA, JD Vance didn’t just win — he dominated, pulling in an overwhelming share of the vote and leaving every other potential contender in the dust. The margin was so lopsided it raised eyebrows even among seasoned political watchers, especially this far out from an election. We Dig Deep into what that landslide says about the future of the Republican Party, Donald Trump’s continued influence, and why candidates who don’t align with an America First tone may be effectively shut out. On the Democrat side, the picture looks far less settled, with shaky polling, internal contradictions, and big-name contenders facing tough questions about leadership, competence, and vision. 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 rare dose of real accountability out of California? A new Los Angeles Times investigation is raising serious questions about how the Los Angeles Fire Department handled — and then quietly rewrote — its own after-action report following the devastating Palisades fire. According to the report, key details that reflected poorly on leadership and preparedness were stripped out, softened, or renamed before the public ever saw them. 36:00 We have a Bright Spot coming out of California and it's a major win for parents' rights and common sense. A court has struck down a controversial state policy that allowed teachers and school administrators to socially transition students at school — including changing names and pronouns — without informing parents. The ruling came after two California teachers, joined by parents and the Thomas More Society, sued the state, arguing the policy violated both their religious convictions and long-standing parental authority. 40:00 Just days before Christmas, the Trump administration is moving aggressively to crack down on fraudulent asylum claims — and it’s sending shockwaves through the immigration system. ICE attorneys are now filing motions to dismiss thousands of pending asylum cases without hearings, following a new directive that forces immigration judges to rule on third-country eligibility before asylum claims are even heard. The burden has officially shifted to asylum seekers to prove their claims are legitimate, a major change after years of overwhelming evidence showing most claims lacked merit. With as many as 85–95% of asylum applications previously found to be bogus, the administration is zeroing in on cases from countries like Iran, Nicaragua, and Russia. 41:30 And we finish off with the first White House Christmas.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 19, 2025. 0:30 Red state attorneys general are taking on Big Tech in a major fight to protect children online, as Tennessee joins Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, and South Carolina in a lawsuit against Roblox. The states accuse the gaming platform of misleading parents and failing to stop child predators from exploiting kids through in-game chats and messages. The message is clear: the government’s first duty is to defend life and protect the most vulnerable, and when tech companies won’t police themselves, leaders must step in. This is shaping up to be a defining battle over child safety, online gaming, and accountability in Big Tech. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Shreveport City Council approved a new data center project in the city. The City of New Orleans is requesting the Federal Government to send in more law enforcement officers for New Year's Eve. Police in Kenner arrested an illegal immigrant preacher and charged him with sexual battery of a 10 year old child. 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 Justice Department releases new Epstein files, and once again America is asking why this case still grips the nation. It’s not just the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, but his ties to the rich and powerful — from presidents to princes — that have people demanding answers. The conversation turns to accountability, justice, and whether elites keep getting a pass while everyday Americans pay the price. With big names, dark questions, and growing distrust in the system, the fight for truth about the Epstein documents is far from over. 16:00 It’s time for American Mamas, and they’re sounding off on one big holiday question: company Christmas parties — love them or hate them? Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson share hilarious stories about forced small talk, cocktail hours, introvert vs. extrovert personalities, and why some folks would rather sit in the corner than mingle. From awkward office parties to wedding receptions, the Mamas break down the holiday party struggle everyone can relate to — with laughs, honesty, and real-life advice. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We take on Trump Derangement Syndrome, asking if there’s really a cure — and pointing to facts, reason, and real-world wake-up calls as the answer. From media stories to Mitt Romney’s latest warnings, the conversation shifts into Social Security reform, fear-mongering, and what’s really at stake for American seniors. It’s a fiery, fast-paced segment on TDS, politics, and the future of Social Security you won’t want to miss. 26:00 We Dig Deep into a Washington Post column urging Democrats to “Make America Minnesota,” then put that claim to the test with hard data. Looking at fertility rates, population trends, and family affordability, we see that red states vs. blue states tell a very different story about where families are actually growing and thriving. From Tim Walz and Kamala Harris to taxes, marriage, and cost of living, it’s a data-driven debate over which policies really support American families and children. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 nearly 130,000 migrant children went missing under the Biden administration. Many of this children are being exploited and trafficed. Border security failures are not “compassionate,” when vulnerable kids remain unaccounted for. 36:30 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 election integrity, ICE and Ilhan Omar to gold card immigration permits and government-sponsored suicide in Canada, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 40:00 The hour wraps with news out of Florida, where a federal appeals court greenlights a law blocking children from attending sexually explicit drag shows — a win for parents, common sense, and child safety in today’s culture wars.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 22, 2025. 0:30 Immigration, assimilation, and the American Dream. We break down why equal opportunity — not equal outcomes — has always been at the heart of American success, and why past waves of immigrants embraced shared values to build a common culture. We turn to Vice President JD Vance’s warning about Europe’s immigration crisis, cultural division, and security fears in cities like Paris, and ask whether the United States is heading down the same path. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US seized another oil tanker leaving Venezuela over the weekend. Over the weekend, a dump of Epstein files was released to the public. The Delaware Supreme Court ruled that Elon musk is indeed entitled to the largest compensation package for a CEO in world history. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 President Trump made a surprise announcement to build a new “Trump Class” battleship for the U.S. Navy — and it’s already sending the left into a frenzy. We dive into what this could mean for America’s military strength as China ramps up its naval power, and whether battleships could make a comeback in modern warfare. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to a hilarious story involving Conan O’Brien, Will Arnett, and Jason Bateman — and a running joke about grief, friendship, and irreverent humor. The conversation explores how laughter can be a powerful way to cope with loss, even in the middle of heartbreak. From sharing personal family stories to debating why Hollywood comedians on the left embrace edgy humor — until it comes from conservatives — the segment dives into comedy, culture, and double standards in political humor. It’s a heartfelt and funny look at how humor connects people, celebrates life, and keeps friendships strong, even during the toughest times. 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 President Trump’s pro-life legacy, the future of abortion policy after Roe v. Wade, and what it really means to stand for the sanctity of life. From states’ rights and constitutional limits on federal power to supporting single mothers, adoption, foster care, and post-abortion counseling, being pro-life must go beyond just opposing abortion. Republicans should defend life at every stage — and make compassion, not just legislation, the heart of the pro-life message. 26:00 We Dig Deep into Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd and his Newsmax appearance, where he claimed Americans don’t trust the media because they don’t trust “the experts.” But the real crisis is media credibility — not public ignorance. From COVID coverage and government messaging to questions about President Biden’s mental fitness and climate change debates legacy media treated experts like gospel, dismissed dissent, and labeled skeptics as conspiracy theorists. The result? A collapse of trust in journalism and mainstream news. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

With Mamdani set to be sworn in by Bernie Sanders and New York Attorney General Letitia James, the symbolism couldn’t be clearer. From AOC and Bernie Sanders to politicized justice and government overreach, Mamdani’s rise is a warning sign for where the Democratic Party — and America — could be headed next. 35:30 And we have a Bright Spot coming from Mullins, South Carolina where a private citizens group set out to give their downtown a Hallmark-style holiday makeover — complete with Santa, snowmen, and a nativity scene. But when the town’s mayor stepped in and asked for the nativity to be removed from public view, the fight was on. From free expression to accusations of intolerance toward Christians, this discussion raises a bigger question: does tolerance mean respecting traditions — or erasing them? 39:30 We dive into the legal battle over nativity scenes in public spaces. We break down the First Amendment and explain why the government cannot ban a nativity display simply because “someone might be offended.” While cities can enforce neutral rules on time, place, and manner, singling out a religious display is classic viewpoint discrimination — and courts consistently strike it down. 41:00 And we finish off with the first plane to safely land with Autoland.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 18, 2025. 0:30 We take on President Trump’s prime-time address from the White House. It wasn’t just a speech — it was a strategy session aimed straight at the 2026 midterms. We break down why Trump wanted to remind Americans of Republican wins, warn about what a Democrat takeover would mean for the country, and question whether results alone can win over voters who are still feeling the pinch at the grocery store. Was this a rallying cry for the base, or a message meant to sway the middle? We dig into what really came across. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Inflation dropped to 2.7% last month. The Republicans were able to pass their health reform plan out of the House of Representatives this week. President Trump lowered the classification on Marijuana today, reducing it from a Schedule I narcotic to a Schedule III narcotic. 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 Control of Congress could make or break Trump’s agenda, and Democrats are ramping up talk of impeachment yet again. The left is still obsessed with relitigating Trump, using impeachment as a political weapon to fire up their base, even as wages rise and prices ease under his administration. Is this about policy — or just about keeping anti-Trump outrage alive? 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson weigh in on what sounds like a big early signal for 2028: Marco Rubio saying he won’t run if JD Vance does. We talk about friendship, chemistry, and why a Vance–Rubio ticket could shake up the usual political playbook. Is this the start of a new GOP dream team — and real trouble for the left? 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 shocking story out of Mississippi has us asking a simple question: whatever happened to decency? We react to a woman accused of hiding razor blades and fish hooks in loaves of bread at Walmart — and what it says about how far things have gone. It’s a disturbing reminder that there are still plenty of good people out there… but stories like this make you wonder where common sense went. 24:30 Writer Matt Holloway checks in from AmericaFest in Phoenix with a live report from Turning Point USA’s massive conservative conference. He describes record crowds, high energy, and a movement recommitting to the MAGA agenda after tragedy. With faith front and center, a packed lineup of speakers, and growing buzz around JD Vance and the 2026 midterms, this is grassroots conservatives fired up and ready to show their support. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Secretary of State Marco Rubio is making headlines for an unexpected culture clash at the State Department — banning the “woke” Calibri font and ordering diplomats back to Times New Roman. We react to Rubio’s crackdown, debating tradition, taxpayer costs, and what this says about the fight against woke culture in Washington, even down to the smallest details. 35:30 A new movie could be a bright spot at the box office — and it’s all about First Lady Melania Trump. Melania promises a rare behind-the-scenes look at her return to the White House, her role as a mom, and her influence during President Trump’s second inauguration. This could finally tell Melania Trump’s story in her own words, pushing back on the media narrative and spotlighting one of the most fascinating First Ladies in modern American politics. 39:30 President Trump just announced a major boost for the U.S. military — a $1,776 “warrior dividend” for more than 1.4 million service members. It's a reward for troops who went unpaid during the Democrats’ government shutdown and a reminder of the importance of valuing those who risk their lives for the nation. It’s a politically smart move and a show of support for the men and women in uniform that’s resonating across the country. 41:30 And we finish off today's show with the Grandma Stand in Mckinney, Texas that is spreading wisdom and warmth.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 17, 2025. 0:30 Breaking news out of Washington: FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is set to leave the Bureau early next year — and while this isn’t a scandal, it is a moment worth watching. Bongino’s short tenure at the FBI raises real questions about leadership, culture, and whether outspoken media figures can thrive inside a process-heavy federal agency. We dive into why Bongino may be better suited for influence behind a microphone than inside the bureaucracy, what his exit signals for FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi, and how recent FBI wins and missteps factor into the bigger picture. 9:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump has ordered a Naval blockade of Venezuela. Four Republican broke from their party to force a house vote on extending Democrat designed subsidies for the Democrat designed Affordable Care Act. Republican Congressman Dan Newhouse is not seeking reelection to Congress next year. 11:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 12:00 A new YouGov poll exposes a sharp political divide on immigration — and the numbers are hard to ignore. Only 17 percent of Democrats say legal immigration should be reduced, compared to 66 percent of Republicans who want it cut back or ended altogether. We dig into what those numbers really mean, the difference between legal and illegal immigration, and why border enforcement has become a breaking point even for many Democrats after the Biden administration’s failures. 15:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson take on the controversy surrounding Trump Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and her decision to sit down with Vanity Fair — and why many conservatives see it as a major miscalculation. We break down how a year-long interview turned into headline-grabbing quotes about Trump, JD Vance, and the White House inner circle, how off-the-record trust was allegedly weaponized, and why legacy media outlets are viewed as hostile territory for Republicans. The Mamas also unpack media bias, selective framing, and the broader lesson about walking into the “lion’s den” of left-leaning press — even when you think you’re being careful. 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. 22:00 We dive into reports of new plaques placed beneath presidential portraits in the White House — and the controversy they’ve sparked. Do these bronze plaques represent historical record or political trolling? And where the line is between blunt truth-telling and misuse of taxpayer dollars? We discuss President Trump’s unapologetic style, the difference between opinion and history, and whether America’s obsession with politeness has replaced honest evaluation of past presidents. 25:30 We Dig Deep into the nation’s largest teachers union after reports that the NEA is promoting so-called “neo-pronouns” and “zeo-pronouns” in teacher training sessions. This isn’t education reform — it’s ideological activism replacing basic grammar, clarity, and classroom priorities. We question why unions are focusing on made-up language and identity politics instead of improving student outcomes, and warning that redefining words isn’t about communication but control. 31:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 31:30 We break down President Trump's prime-time address, and it's a deliberate moment of leadership where he plans to highlight his administration’s accomplishments and preview what he calls America’s “golden age.” Speaking directly to the nation on major networks still matters, even in an era dominated by social media. 34:00 And we have a Bright Spot from Florida, where the state can now enforce a ban on sexually explicit drag performances in front of minors. It's a long-overdue correction, and should never have been treated as protected speech when children were involved. We break down court battle that led to the decision, the narrow exception that still exists, and the broader cultural fight over bringing adult performance art into kids’ spaces like libraries and classrooms. This isn’t about censoring adults, it's about drawing a clear line between free speech and exposing children to sexualized content — a line that should have never been blurred in the first place. 38:30 In Texas, Republican Senate candidate Wesley Hunt is pushing a proposal to block education benefits for illegal immigrants — a move that's long overdue. With millions of illegal immigrants already in the country, full deportation isn’t realistic. Self-deportation was always part of the strategy. By cutting off benefits like public education, families will choose to leave on their own. It's a tough, controversial approach — but one that finally confronts why illegal immigration persists in the first place. 40:30 And we finish off today’s show with a little tech history that quietly reshaped the modern world. On this day in 1994, Netscape Navigator 1.0 hit the market and opened the door for everyday people to actually use the internet. Long before Chrome, Safari, or Firefox, Netscape was how the web worked — the browser that made surfing possible and set the standard for everything that followed.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 16, 2025. 0:30 A comment on The View is lighting up the airwaves — and not in a good way. We break down Whoopi Goldberg's comment that a dog would do a better job running the FBI than Director Kash Patel. But while the insult makes headlines, the facts tell a very different story. Under Patel’s leadership, the FBI has disrupted terror plots, stopped bomb threats, and arrested top fugitives — results critics conveniently ignore. This isn’t just about a Trump appointee or a TV soundbite. It’s about media figures undermining public trust in federal law enforcement at a moment of real national security threats — and replacing serious debate with cheap insults. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. According to the latest numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of jobs in the United States rose by 64,000 positions last month. President Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC for deceptively editing his speech from January 6, 2021. Judge Hannah Dugan, who allegedly tried to help an illegal alien avoid being arrested and deported by ICE, is on trial herself this week after she was charged with obstruction. 13:00 Phil Mickelson isn’t backing down — and his latest comments on gun control are setting off alarms around the world. After the deadly Bondi Beach attack in Australia, the golf legend pointed out an uncomfortable truth: the terrorists didn’t seem remotely hindered by some of the strictest gun laws on the planet. In countries where law-abiding citizens are disarmed, criminals and extremists know exactly who won’t be shooting back. The conversation cuts through the familiar calls for “more laws” and asks the harder question — why do politicians keep blaming legal gun owners when violent criminals ignore the law entirely? 16:00 We ask the American Mamas what they think about Erika Kirk's meeting with Candace Owens. Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow, sat down privately with Candace Owens after claims and speculation threatened to fracture the conservative movement during a moment of national mourning. With no cameras, no microphones, and no social media theatrics, the two women chose conversation over chaos. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on why the meeting mattered, how unchecked speculation can poison unity, and why resolving conflict face-to-face may be the only way to stop grief from being weaponized. 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. 22:30 Cheap gas isn’t just a talking point — it’s a pay raise, especially for working families living paycheck to paycheck. We break down why lower gas prices hit far beyond the pump, driving down grocery costs, transportation expenses, and overall inflation. When fuel gets cheaper, everything gets cheaper — and the people who feel it most are the poorest Americans. With GasBuddy projecting sub-$3 gas prices for Christmas Day, the conversation turns to energy policy, economic relief, and why “drill, baby, drill” is being framed as compassion, not politics. 26:00 Republicans are finally putting a healthcare alternative on the table — 15 years after Obamacare, but better late than never. We Dig Deep into the GOP’s new “Lower Healthcare Premiums for All Americans Act,” what it claims to fix, and why no one should expect a miracle. From soaring premiums and broken Obamacare promises to patient choice, small-business relief, and cutting red tape, the conversation centers on whether this plan can actually move the system in a better direction. It’s a hard look at healthcare reform, government control versus freedom, and why real healthcare isn’t delivered by Washington — it’s delivered between doctors and patients. 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 brutal attack in a Savannah public park leaves a woman with third-degree burns — and the mayor’s response is sparking outrage. We react to a shocking chemical assault at Forsyth Park, the victim’s ongoing recovery, and a moment from city leadership that many are calling cold, dismissive, and indefensible. Instead of compassion or accountability, the mayor’s remarks raise serious questions about leadership, public safety, and basic human decency. 35:30 Education freedom is gaining momentum — and it may be one of the real bright spots in the national conversation. We break down what “education freedom” actually means, why it matters to working families, and why support is growing across the country. From open enrollment and school choice to education savings accounts and tax credits, the discussion cuts through the buzzwords and gets to the core issue: parents having real control over how and where their children are educated. 39:30 Buy now, pay later sounds convenient — but is it quietly training Americans to spend money they don’t actually have? We dig into the rise of “split payment” apps and why turning everyday purchases into installment plans may be more dangerous than credit cards. It’s a conversation about debt, discipline, and how removing the “pain of paying” can lead to overspending — exactly as the companies behind it intend. Just because you can break a purchase into payments doesn’t mean you should. 41:30 And we finish off today’s show with a reminder that American resistance didn’t begin in a courtroom — it began in a harbor. On this day in history, the Boston Tea Party marked a turning point in the fight against taxation without representation, as ordinary colonists took an extraordinary stand against government overreach. Disguised, defiant, and determined, the Sons of Liberty sent a clear message to Parliament that freedom would not be negotiated quietly.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 12, 2025. 0:30 We dig into new FBI data showing that California led the nation in active shooter incidents from 2020 to 2024 — 25 incidents, more than any other state — and the irony is impossible to ignore. This is the same state with the most aggressive gun control regime in the country: assault weapon bans, magazine limits, waiting periods, registration, red flag laws, ammo restrictions, carry permit mandates — layers upon layers of regulation. If gun control worked the way it’s sold emotionally and rhetorically, California should be the safest state in America. It’s not. That’s the core question they keep coming back to: why doesn’t gun control work where it exists the most? The answer is uncomfortable for the left. Laws don’t stop criminals. They only restrict law-abiding citizens. Shooters don’t follow magazine limits, don’t wait ten days, don’t register firearms, and don’t ask permission. California’s system controls one group of people — responsible citizens — while leaving violent criminals untouched. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US trade deficit dropped to the lowest level in five years.That's according to data released by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis. Half of the commercial drivers licenses issued in the state of New York to foreign workers were issued illegally. The Leader of Black Lives Matter in Oklahoma has been arrested for embezzling $3.15 million. 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 step back from politics and wrestle with one of the oldest and hardest questions there is: why God allows suffering. We reflect on how some tragedies are so overwhelming, so senseless, that the only human response is to ask “why.” And they point to the assassination of Charlie Kirk as one of those moments — a young man devoted to ideas, speech, and persuasion, taken suddenly, leaving behind a family and a nation trying to make sense of it. 15:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a listener question that hits a nerve for a lot of people: what do you do when you’re in your late 50s, you know you still have something to offer — but you don’t feel a clear passion anymore? The Mamas talk about how passion isn’t always something you “figure out” in advance. Sometimes it finds you. Sometimes it only makes sense in hindsight. They reflect on how certain seasons — raising children, leading nonprofits, stepping into unexpected roles — demand everything you have, and when they end, it can feel disorienting. But that doesn’t mean you’re empty. It means you’re available. 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 After revisiting the debate over gun laws and crime, we dig into a case out of Atlanta where a homeowner shot two juveniles allegedly stealing packages off his porch. While no one defends theft, the discussion makes a clear distinction between protecting property and using deadly force. Gun rights come with limits, and firing at someone who is fleeing raises serious legal and moral questions. Exercising a right irresponsibly only undermines the right itself. 26:30 We move on to Maryland, where lawmakers are considering a $25-an-hour minimum wage — a move activists are calling “survival,” not radical. But survival for whom? We break down what a $25 minimum wage actually means for employers, especially small businesses, and why economists warn it could lock people out of the workforce entirely. When the first rung on the ladder costs $52,000 a year, employers stop taking chances — and the people shut out first are young workers with no experience. California is a real-time case study: higher mandated wages, fewer jobs, more automation, and young people locked out of entry-level work altogether. The conclusion is blunt — every time government raises the minimum wage, someone becomes unemployable by law. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 President Trump signed legislation this week honoring the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team — and on the surface, it’s exactly what you’d expect: a celebration of grit, teamwork, patriotism, and one of the greatest upsets in sports history. But this is also vintage Trump. Because this isn’t just about hockey — it’s about symbolism. Forty-five years later, Trump is reminding the world, and especially Moscow, of what happened at Lake Placid. At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union rolled out a fully funded, state-run, professional team designed to showcase the superiority of communism. And they lost — on live television — to a bunch of American college kids playing for pride. 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 death threats against Marjorie Taylor Greene and suspected terrorists, to tech company taxes, Nigerian prince scams, and even criminals "too handsome" to stand trial, 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 reacted to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signing legislation legalizing assisted suicide for terminally ill patients, making Illinois the 12th state to do so. While supporters frame it as “compassion,” this argument has already played out elsewhere — most notably in Canada — and the results are chilling. 41:30 And we end today's show with some words of wisdom about work.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 15, 2025. 0:30 According to a new analysis from Fair Fight Action and the Black Voters Matter Fund, Republicans could gain nearly 200 state legislative seats across the South if the Supreme Court limits how Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is used. These openly left-wing activist groups, and their warning isn’t really about voting rights — it’s about political power. At the center of the debate is racial gerrymandering: the decades-long practice of drawing “minority-majority” districts based explicitly on race. What was once justified as a remedy for Jim Crow has evolved into court-mandated racial mapmaking that treats voters as demographic categories instead of citizens. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The FBI arrested four people and charged them with planning a New Year's Eve bombing plot in California. The FBI and local law enforcement are still looking for the person responsible for murdering 2 students at Brown University and injuring 9 others. Producer, Director, and Actor Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Reiner were murdered in their home over the weekend. 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 horrific attack at Bondi Beach in Australia, where Jewish families celebrating Hanukkah were brutally murdered in an Islamist extremist attack carried out by a father and son. It was not random violence — it was targeted, ideological, and devastating. And the attack wasn't stopped by police or by armed citizens— because Australians aren’t allowed to be armed — but by an unarmed man who tackled the attacker, wrestled the gun away, and held him until authorities arrived. A good guy stopped a bad guy, but he had to do it with his bare hands and risk his life because the law left him defenseless. 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about their reation to the murder of Rob Reiner. The Mamas remember Reiner for his legacy in film— When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, Sleepless in Seattle — movies they love and will always watch. They may disagree with his politics, but that never erased his talent or his contribuitons to culture. When news broke that he and his wife were killed — allegedly by their own son — the reaction was immediate sorrow. Devastation for the family. Incomprehension at the tragedy. conservatives are not celebrating this death. There will be no jokes, no parties, no costumes. Just grief — and restraint. Whatever Rob Reiner said in life, whatever political lines he crossed, his death — especially in such a horrific, personal way — should not be politicized.

The rumors are suddenly everywhere — and the timing is… interesting. With weak book sales and a forgettable book tour, some are wondering whether this is about a campaign or just a publicity reset. We break down why Harris is still being floated as a top Democrat, what that says about the party’s bench, and why names like Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsom keep popping up despite failing to connect where it matters most. 25:30 A new Gallup poll on health care is out — and not surprisingly, Democrats are already waving it around again. But when you actually look at the numbers, it raises a bigger question: after all these years and all these promises, why does health care feel worse, not better? We break down what Americans say is broken, why costs keep climbing, and how a system no one really understands keeps getting more complicated — and more expensive. And we take aim at the growing belief that health care is a “right,” and what that assumption means for government power, personal responsibility, and freedom. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Ford just learned a $20-billion lesson — and it has nothing to do with engineering and everything to do with politics. We dig into Ford’s massive EV write-off and why the company is backing away from electric vehicle production after bleeding billions. The conversation zeroes in on a familiar pattern: corporations chasing government mandates instead of consumer demand — and paying the price when the market refuses to cooperate. 35:30 Eighteen states are drawing a line on SNAP benefits — and it’s overdue. We break down why a program meant to supplement nutrition drifted into subsidizing junk food, and why limiting candy and soda isn’t an attack on the poor, but a return to the program’s original purpose. The conversation highlights an unexpected twist: this push isn’t just red states — it’s bipartisan. At a time when food assistance and healthcare costs collide, this is a rare bright spot where common sense might finally be winning out. 39:30 The threat isn’t just overseas — it’s here at home. When Jewish communities are targeted, they argue, it’s not just an attack on one faith — it’s an attack on the Judeo-Christian values that underpin the West itself. This isn’t isolated, and it isn’t accidental — and it’s time to say whoa. 41:30 America’s getting a birthday makeover — and it fits in your pocket. The U.S. Mint is rolling out a special series of coins to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary, with designs honoring America’s founding, its leaders, and the ideas that built the country. It’s a one-year-only run, meant to celebrate where we started and why it still matters. A small reminder of a big history — and a little patriotism you might get back in your change.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 11, 2025. 0:30 Today we take a look at yet another glaring example of two-tier justice in America — after a federal grand jury in Virginia declined, for the second time, to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage fraud allegations. We walk through how James built her entire political brand on accusing Donald Trump and his family of fraud, running explicitly on the promise to “get Trump.” But when she herself is accused of misrepresenting property information to secure financial benefits, the legal system suddenly hesitates. Standards soften. Intent becomes “unclear.” Evidence is “open to interpretation.” 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Bureau of Labor Statistics release a report this week saying that for the fifth straight month, increases in wages have outpaced inflation. The House of Representatives passed the Defense Authorization Act. The court fight over Illegal alien and alleged human trafficker Kilmar Abrego-Garcia continues. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Meta is now claiming its “enforcement mistakes” have dropped by 90% — a number the hosts say tells you everything you need to know about what was really happening before. After scrapping third-party fact checkers and the COVID-era censorship apparatus, Meta suddenly says it’s doing better. But were these simple “mistakes" or intentional acts of censorship, carried out under pressure from the Biden administration, where true information was labeled misinformation and users were silenced on purpose? Call it enforcement if you want — just don’t call it accidental. 15:30 American Mamas Teri Nettervile and Kimberly Burelson tackle a question that hits a cultural nerve: should a woman ever propose to a man — especially if he hasn’t done it himself? Using a viral video of a woman proposing after 14 years of dating as the jumping-off point, the conversation turns blunt, emotional, and unapologetically traditional. Their take is clear: if a man hasn’t proposed after years together, it’s not hesitation — it’s a decision. They argue that public proposals by women often flip natural dynamics, leaving the woman looking desperate and the man embarrassed, and point out that nearly every example online shows visible discomfort rather than romance.

Records show tens of thousands of donor dollars spent in Puerto Rico on luxury venues and high-end accommodations, all framed as “social justice.” 26:00 We break down the strategic showdown unfolding in the Caribbean — and it’s not an invasion, it’s pressure. Despite media speculation about war with Venezuela, Trump is doing the opposite of Iraq-style nation-building, opting instead for maximum force short of boots on the ground. From drug boats being seized and destroyed on the high seas to a sanctioned Venezuelan oil tanker taken by U.S. forces, this is a deliberate chokehold on Maduro’s funding streams. Drug trafficking, illegal oil shipments, shadow fleets — all of it bankrolls a corrupt regime propped up by repression and bribes. Cut the money, and the regime collapses from the inside. 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 We revisit a once-dominant figure in late-night television and argue that David Letterman’s legacy has curdled with age. Wewalk through his cultural importance — the post-Carson era, the Letterman-Leno wars, and how an entire generation grew up on his humor — before contrasting that version of Letterman with the man who recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel. 35:30 We zeroe in on Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s Senate run in Texas and what we see as a self-inflicted implosion. Wewith her on-air claim that Democrats don’t incite violence — daring anyone to find clips proving otherwise — and argue she dramatically underestimated how easy that challenge would be. Enter the RNC, which responds with a rapid-fire montage of prominent Democrats using explicitly violent rhetoric, from calls for unrest in the streets to threats of physical harm. It's a brutal receipts moment, made worse when the compilation turns back on Crockett herself, highlighting multiple clips of her talking about punching opponents, knocking people out, and “beating you down.” 39:30 Gavin Newsom released an AI-generated video depicting President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and senior White House official Stephen Miller in handcuffs under the caption “It’s cuffing season.” This isn’t satire or clever political mockery — it’s outright disrespect from a sitting governor toward the commander in chief, with no explanation of what crime is supposedly being implied. And we're saying, "Whoa." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 10, 2025. 0:30 We break down a constitutional clash unfolding in California that’s turning into a full-on spectacle. After a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to stop deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles — effectively handing control back to Governor Gavin Newsom —we dig into why something that should be straightforward has spiraled into a legal and political firestorm. From the judge positioning himself as the ultimate authority, to the governor sidestepping federal power, to the administration pointing directly to the Constitution’s text, it’s clear no one agrees on who’s actually in charge. The Constitution says the president commands the Guard when it’s federalized, states insist on their autonomy, and now the judiciary is trying to referee a fight it was never meant to enter. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Voters in Miami elected Democrat Eileen Higgins to be the next mayor of that city. Democrats in the House of Representatives have filed articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. and Sec. of War Pete Hegseth. The Federal Reserve voted to lower interest rates again today. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We dig into a revealing moment in Texas politics — Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett launching a Senate run while dramatically misreading the state she wants to win. After citing questionable demographic statistics and insisting Texas is “61% people of color,” the conversation unpacks how the left selectively redefines racial categories to fit political narratives, and why the entire “person of color” framing has become more performative than meaningful. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a deceptively simple listener question with surprisingly deep cultural roots: what’s your opinion on stay-at-home dads? What starts as a lighthearted conversation quickly opens up into a bigger debate about masculinity, work ethic, and the expectations men and women now bring into modern family life. After reacting to a viral video featuring a husband who refuses to work while his wife juggles multiple jobs, the Mamas unpack why this hit such a nerve. Is it the fallout of the “toxic masculinity” narrative? The rise of soft men who avoid responsibility? Or a cultural moment that tells women they don’t need men while simultaneously expecting men to still be protectors, providers, and anchors in the home? The conversation touches on everything from the decline of physical labor, to generational softness shaped by gaming culture, to the instinctive drive many men feel to defend their families the moment they become fathers. 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 dig into a growing crisis unfolding in Minnesota — one that isn’t just about numbers, but about what happens when immigration policy collides with economic reality. After new reports show that eight in ten Somali refugee households in Minneapolis rely on welfare, we unpack what this means for taxpayers, for the state’s political landscape, and for the country as a whole. 26:00 We dive into a jaw-dropping youth football scandal that quickly turns into a much bigger conversation about culture, accountability, and what happens when adults stop teaching kids right from wrong. After eight players from a Philadelphia U14 team were arrested in Florida for trying to steal nearly $2,300 worth of merchandise from a Dick’s Sporting Goods, the story took an even stranger turn — their own coach begged deputies to let them go. We unpack the surveillance footage, the attempted shoplifting spree, and the boys’ apparent expectation that nothing would happen to them — an expectation shaped by what’s become normal in cities with lax enforcement. We compare Sheriff Grady Judd’s firm response in Polk County to the hands-off approach often seen in places like Philadelphia, exploring how wildly different attitudes toward crime create wildly different outcomes. 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 We break down a high-stakes international showdown involving an oil tanker, U.S. national security, and Donald Trump’s latest move against the cartels. After the United States seized its largest Venezuelan tanker ever, we unpack why this wasn’t just a maritime paperwork dispute — it was part of a sprawling illicit network that, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi, was helping fund foreign terrorist organizations. 35:30 We cover a Bright Spot out of Texas Tech University, where the battle over woke ideology is finally hitting a real turning point. After years of DEI dogma creeping into classrooms—even out in West Texas—the state cracked down, banning DEI, white-privilege instruction, and ideology-based prejudice by law. And now Texas Tech has a chancellor who actually intends to enforce it: Brandon Creighton, the very lawmaker who wrote the anti-DEI legislation in the first place. 39:30 We tackle one of the wildest twists in Trump-era immigration policy yet: the rollout of the Trump Gold Card—a fast-track residency program with a price tag big enough to make a tech billionaire blink. After joking about never getting credit card offers anymore, they dive into Trump’s new three-tiered system that essentially says: if you want into America quickly, you can pay for the privilege. 41:00 And we finish off with a Christmas delivery 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 December 8, 2025. 0:30 We get into a constitutional showdown that cuts right to the bone of American power — not just trade policy, but the question of who actually runs the country. With President Trump urging the Supreme Court to uphold his emergency tariff authority, we break down why this case isn’t some dry legal dispute, but a hinge moment for the entire republic. If the justices strip the president of the ability to hit hostile nations with swift economic pressure, America walks into the world stage handcuffed — with military force as its only leverage. But if the Court sides with the president, it reaffirms the very core of national sovereignty. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Department of Homeland Security announced they have found 62,000 immigrant children who had gone missing during the Biden Administration. Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is running for Senate in Texas. Paramount is trying to take over Netflix's takeover of Warner Brothers. 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 dive into the latest ideological curveball out of New York City, where the incoming socialist mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, is suddenly promising sweeping, pro–small business reforms — at least on paper. Cutting taxes, slashing fees and fines by 50%, speeding up permits, even creating a “mom-and-pop czar” to bulldoze red tape. Sounds great, right? Maybe a little too great. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that hits right at the heart of the season: what’s the best way to give at Christmastime? And their answers go way beyond the glossy charity commercials and big-name nonprofits. From real-time giving where you see a need and fill it on the spot, to the quiet, behind-the-scenes acts of service that make a community run, the Mamas lay out the kinds of generosity that really matter — the kind that isn’t swallowed up by million-dollar CEO salaries or bloated overhead. 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 This story takes us to Ireland, where one priest is saying the quiet part out loud — and saying it every single Sunday. Father Brendan Kilcoin, an Irish Catholic priest, isn’t tiptoeing, isn’t hedging, isn’t hiding behind vague language. He’s warning his country that Ireland isn’t simply drifting from Christianity… it’s being pulled apart from both ends. On one side, aggressive secularism. On the other, mass immigration from cultures shaped not by the Gospels, but by entirely different religious traditions. And Father Kilcoin isn’t offering the kind of soft, non-committal commentary you usually hear from clergy. He’s calling for something bolder — legal immigration, yes, but explicitly Christian immigration. Not to shock, not to provoke, but because he believes Ireland is losing the very foundation that once held its culture together. 26:00 We Dig Deep into a new Harvard–HarrisX poll — yes, that Harvard–HarrisX, the one that’s been off by five, sometimes ten points to the left for three straight election cycles — and even they can’t hide what voters are saying. Strip the Trump name off the policies, and suddenly Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of every major plank the president is pushing. Border security, deporting illegal immigrants — even all illegal immigrants — tariffs, military action against cartels, banning men from women’s sports, ending racial preferences, freezing foreign aid, the whole thing. Policy after policy, Americans are on board. And yet? The same voters give Trump middling approval numbers. We break down how the media machine, the “no-kings” narrative, and years of Trump-is-Hitler hysteria have created a bizarre split-brain politics where people love the ideas but think they’re supposed to hate the guy proposing them. 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 break down a story most media outlets won’t touch: the growing pressure campaign against crisis pregnancy centers — the very places research shows could have changed everything for the 60% of women who say they would’ve chosen life if they’d had just a little more support. Instead of helping these centers do exactly that, states like New Jersey are trying to force them to hand over their donor lists, despite admitting they had zero complaints, zero evidence of wrongdoing, and were basically on a political fishing expedition. 35:30 In a rare moment of Hollywood clarity, Jennifer Lawrence just told The New York Times something you almost never hear from an A-list celebrity: she’s stepping back from politics — not because she’s changed her mind, but because she finally realizes her opinions don’t change elections… they just pour gasoline on a country already split down the middle. We dive into the audio, break down Lawrence’s surprisingly grounded admission, and spotlight her warning that celebrity activism can actually damage careers, alienate half an audience, and even contribute to political hostility.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 10, 2025. 0:30 We dig into what might be the political and economic turning point of our generation — the moment tariffs go from heresy to orthodoxy inside the Republican Party. For decades, the conservative establishment worshiped at the altar of free trade. Tariffs were the villain, protectionism was a dirty word, and anyone who questioned NAFTA got sent to the kids’ table. Not anymore. With new polling showing a full revolt inside the GOP — two-thirds of Republicans now wanting tariffs kept where they are or pushed even higher — we break down how Trump didn’t just shift the debate… he blew up the old economic playbook entirely. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The ban on transgender members of the US Military is constitutional. That's the ruling of the US Appeals court for the District of Columbia. 12 fired FBI agents are suing the Trump Administration to get their jobs back. Two courts have now agreed to unseal several documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. 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 break down a move from the Trump administration that has the media scrambling for cover: a brand-new public database from DHS called WOW — Worst of the Worst — a tool that finally exposes what legacy outlets have spent years trying to bury. For the first time, any American can pull up the rap sheets of criminal illegal aliens arrested and removed by ICE, cutting straight through the spin, the soft-pedaled headlines, and the endless attempts to pretend this problem doesn’t exist. We get into why the rollout is brilliant, how it undercuts the press narrative that ICE “only” targets harmless offenders, and why transparency like this terrifies the same institutions that have been whitewashing the consequences of illegal immigration for decades. But we also ask the tough question: if the media refuses to cover it, and most Americans never see it, how far does a database like this really go? 16:00 Today the American Mamas take on a question that hits every family sooner or later — and hits hard: What’s tougher? Losing a parent suddenly, or watching them fade slowly over time? It’s one of those raw, real-life dilemmas that doesn’t have an easy answer, but Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson go straight into it with honesty, humor, and the kind of lived experience you only get the hard way. From the shock of quick goodbyes to the long heartbreak of Alzheimer’s, from feeling helpless when distance keeps you away to witnessing the moment a parent realizes their body can’t do what their mind still thinks it can — the Mamas walk through the pain, the gratitude, the guilt, the grace, and even the unexpected moments of laughter that come with loving someone through their final chapter. 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 get into a rare kind of headline — a move from one of America’s top business leaders that cuts completely against the gloomy narrative we’re all used to hearing. Michael Dell and his wife are dropping an eye-popping $6 billion to help kids open savings accounts under the new Trump-era “Trump Accounts” program, a donation so massive it’s forcing people to rethink what private generosity can actually do. 26:00 We dig into a story out of Massachusetts that’s lighting up both the pews and the comment sections: a Catholic parish swapping the Christ child out of its nativity scene and replacing Him with a sign that reads “ICE was here.” It’s the latest attempt to turn the Gospel into a campaign billboard — and the blowback isn’t subtle. The Archbishop has ordered it taken down. The pastor is refusing. And the national debate over immigration has now landed squarely in the manger. We break down why the comparison itself collapses on contact with the facts — from the legal status of Mary and Joseph under Roman rule, to the census that brought them to Bethlehem, to the actual historical context of the Holy Family’s flight into Egypt. We walk through how this narrative twist isn’t just sloppy theology, but a deliberate bending of Scripture to score political points, and why that crosses a line the Church itself has long warned against. We get into what the Catechism really says about immigration, why order and legality are central Catholic teachings, and how misrepresenting the nativity story for modern activism turns sacred history into propaganda. And we ask the harder question: if religious leaders start rewriting the Gospel to fit the politics of the moment, what does that do to trust, to doctrine, and to the faithful who expect the truth from their shepherds? 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 We break down a story out of the New York Times that perfectly illustrates the disconnect between political theater and actual accomplishment: Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly plans to have a marble bust of herself installed in the U.S. Capitol. We dive into the optics — a self-proclaimed historical figure immortalized in stone — and the reality behind the pomp. We explore the context of Harris’s claim, the timing of the interview, and the ongoing speculation about 2028. And we ask the bigger question: what does it say about leadership when a career politician’s “legacy” is measured by statues and media headlines rather than tangible policy achievements? 35:30 We take listeners down a rabbit hole most Americans never explore: state mottos. Every state has one — some even have two — and many date back centuries. We break down the surprising number of mottos that reference God, from Arizona’s “God enriches” to Ohio’s “With God all things are possible,” highlighting the enduring role of faith in the foundation of our states. We also explore mottos rooted in liberty and freedom: New Hampshire’s “Live Free or Die,” Massachusetts’ “By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty,” and Delaware’s “Liberty and Independence.” The discussion points to a broader principle: our rights don’t come from bureaucrats, governors, or Washington politicians — they come from Almighty God, the ultimate antidote to tyranny. 39:30 We cut straight to the point on a simple truth about America: if you’re not happy here, get out. Drawing from personal experience, we highlight the story of families who came to this country chasing the American dream — moving from poverty to prosperity in a single generation — and who loved this country with every fiber of their being. If you came here seeking opportunity and blessings and you don’t appreciate them, it’s time to move on. No hostility, no resentment — just a clear reminder that America thrives when its people value what it offers. 41:30 And we finish off with a story about accountability, intervention, and life-changing moments.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 5, 2025. 0:30 We break down a moment that’s quietly shaking the political world — a Christmas message from President Trump that critics and supporters alike weren’t expecting. Standing before the National Christmas Tree, Trump delivered a line that hit with the weight of history: with the birth of Jesus, “human history turned from night to day.” No politics, no polling, no spin — just a call to love one another, serve one another, and remember that every child is made in the image of God. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Thing You Need to Know. The US Supreme Court announced they will hear a challenge to President Trump's executive order denying birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. A federal grand jury refused to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud this week. Netflix is buying Warner Brothers Discovery. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We dig into a stunning new revelation that the media would’ve once treated like a five-alarm fire — but now barely whispers about. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has reviewed just a slice of America’s voter rolls, and what she found is jaw-dropping: hundreds of thousands of dead voters still listed as active, thousands of non-citizens registered for federal elections, and more than a dozen states fighting tooth-and-nail to block transparency. We walk through the numbers, the lawsuits, and the obvious question no newsroom seems interested in asking: why would any state hide its voter data unless there was something to hide? From “most secure election in history” to the growing evidence that the system is riddled with cracks, we break down how fraud becomes a feature — not a glitch — and why trust in elections keeps eroding. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson take on a question a lot of families have quietly wondered: why aren’t people doing obituaries anymore? From the rising cost of funerals to the decline of newspapers, from social media replacing the old morning paper to families choosing simplicity over tradition, the Mamas dig into what’s changing — and what might be getting lost. They talk about how obituaries once anchored local communities, how funerals serve the living more than the dead, and how skipping those rituals leaves a hole many people don’t realize is there until it’s gone. With personal stories, sharp humor, and a whole lot of heart, the Mamas break down how our culture handles loss, why those final tributes still matter, and why even in a digital age, remembering someone shouldn’t disappear. 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 wade into a scandal brewing out of Minnesota — a jaw-dropping scheme where Somali fraud rings siphoned off millions in taxpayer funds meant to feed hungry children, and where, according to new reports, some of that stolen cash ended up flowing straight into Democrat campaign coffers. From Ilhan Omar’s backyard to Attorney General Keith Ellison’s campaign account, we break down how a billion-dollar fraud operation slipped past state officials, how fake nonprofits claimed to feed thousands of kids a day from buildings with no kitchens, and how money funneled through Minnesota wound up in Somalia — and potentially in the hands of Al Shabaab. 26:00 We Dig Deep a headline that sounds almost too wild to be true: did Donald Trump accidentally save the American AI industry from being overtaken by China? According to Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang — one of the most influential figures in tech — the answer is yes. Not because Trump set out to rescue AI, but because he unleashed U.S. energy production with “drill baby drill,” giving America the massive, continuous power supply that AI absolutely devours. From Goldman Sachs warning that AI energy use could explode 160% by decade’s end, to data centers now drawing power like mid-sized cities, we break down why reliable energy isn’t just an economic issue — it’s national security. And we walk through the near-miss that almost kneecapped the entire industry: a last-minute Biden-era “AI diffusion rule” that Trump killed before it could take effect. 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 We dig into a stunning move from New York’s mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani — a promise to end homeless encampment sweeps the moment he takes office. In a city once called America’s crown jewel, the new plan means police won’t be allowed to clear tents from sidewalks, parks, or even Times Square. Instead, the mayor says the answer is “connecting people with housing”… even as the real crisis is addiction, mental illness, and a system that can’t compel anyone to get help. From cities like Portland and San Francisco collapsing under the same policies — more crime, more overdoses, more fires, more chaos — we lay out the hard truth: ignoring encampments doesn’t solve homelessness, it supercharges it. 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 CNN fumbling pipe-bomb speculation and climate-change studies collapsing under their own bogus math, to FIFA surprising everyone with a Peace Prize to Chuck Schumer taking a theatrical dive worthy of the World Cup, 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 tackle what can only be described as a constitutional earthquake — the Supreme Court’s decision to take up Donald Trump’s challenge to birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders. 41:30 And we end today's show with the 21st amendment that was ratified 92 years ago and ended prohibition.

FWB шо то за дурістіка?! Іншими словами дружба з привілеями
You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 4, 2025. 0:30 Do you ever stop and think about what America used to be like? A country where political disagreements didn’t come packaged with threats, bankruptcies, mobs, and blacklists. From Reagan’s America to even Bill Clinton’s America, the conversation turns to how radically the tone has shifted under Obama and Biden. That sets the stage for the day’s story: Rep. Ilhan Omar launching a new boycott campaign — “We Ain’t Buying It” — aimed squarely at companies that work with the Trump administration. We unpack her loaded language: businesses must “pay a costly price” and she calls on supporters to use “every leverage” in their “arsenal.” We compare that rhetoric to historical patterns — from the French Revolution to Mao’s Red Guards to the Weather Underground — where phrases like “pay a heavy price” were precursors to coercion, destruction, and political violence. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. More than four years after it happened, the FBI has finally made an arrest in the January 6th Pipe Bomb case. A new report out says there has been widespread fraud in Obamacare Subsidies. Two more Afghani immigrants to the US have been arrested on terrorism charges. 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 AT&T just joined the growing list of major corporations ditching their DEI programs — and we aren’t shedding a tear. We break down how deeply AT&T had plunged into the ideology, pushing training that claimed racism was a “uniquely white trait,” a stance that is not only absurd but openly discriminatory. From African ethnic conflicts to Imperial Japan’s belief in racial superiority, we point out the obvious: bigotry has never been exclusive to any one group. 16:00 The American Mamas dive into the big headline of the week: Michael and Susan Dell dropping a jaw-dropping $6.25 billion into Trump’s new children’s savings account program. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson break down why this move could change the future for millions of kids, why early business education matters, and why generosity like this sparks both inspiration and outrage. 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 For the fourth month in a row, housing costs in America are falling — and the reason why has the left fuming. We break down how deporting two million illegal immigrants and ending mass releases at the border is reshaping the housing market. J.D. Vance calls the connection “clear as day,” and the numbers back him up. It’s simple economics, not politics — supply, demand, and what happens when you stop overwhelming the system. Common sense? Absolutely. Controversial? You bet. 25:00 The fatal flaw of socialism isn’t just that it has always failed — it’s that it can never succeed. We break down why “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” works inside a loving family… but collapses the moment it’s applied to millions of imperfect human beings. Socialism demands angelic selflessness from everyone, all the time. Capitalism? It only requires people not to be outright monsters — a bar most folks can clear most of the time. From human nature to the Pilgrims to New Yorkers honking on the freeway, we dig deep into why socialism always slides into coercion, why capitalism aligns with reality, and why any system that relies on perfect people is doomed. 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 dive into a bombshell claim making waves: an internal FDA letter that critics say proves what they’ve been warning about for years — that young Americans were pushed into COVID shots they never needed, and that the government never wanted anyone questioning it. From vaccine mandates to college campuses, from “follow the science” to full-blown censorship, we walk back through how debate got shut down, how experts were elevated to unquestionable status, and how anyone who raised concerns — parents, doctors, journalists — was labeled a conspiracy theorist. 35:30 There’s finally a bright spot out of North Carolina this week—one that could change the game on violent repeat offenders. After months of shootings, releases, and a justice system that kept turning the same people back onto the streets, something different just happened in Charlotte. An 18-year-old—arrested multiple times for firing into homes—was picked up again. But this time? He didn’t walk free. His bond: $5.3 million. What changed? A brand-new law that just went into effect, born from a tragedy that never should have happened. And for the first time in a long time, it looks like consequences are finally catching up to the people who’ve been terrorizing innocent families. 40:00 And then there’s Mariah Carey—yes, the Christmas queen herself—making headlines again, but not for the song you’ve already heard 500 times this month. Over the summer, she showed up at an event in the U.K. wearing a glitter-bombed, rhinestone jacket that read “Protect the Dolls.” Now? She’s putting that jacket up for auction. And the cause it supports has a very specific mission: pushing more gender ideology into mainstream entertainment. So while everyone else is cueing up her Christmas tracks, she’s using her platform to bankroll something very different. And honestly… that deserves a big “whoa.” 41:30 And finally, a story that’ll restore a little of your faith in humanity. A first-year teacher in Virginia nearly lost her life after choking in front of her class—but three of her first graders jumped into action like seasoned pros. These kids didn’t panic—they became heroes. And their teacher says, “They 100% saved my life.” Now that’s the kind of story we need more of.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 2, 2025. 0:30 President Trump has just pulled off what may be the boldest constitutional power play in modern history—nullifying every executive order, proclamation, and pardon stamped with Joe Biden’s auto-pen. With one move, Trump flips the script and forces Democrats into a corner: if they want those Biden-era actions back—like Fauci’s pardon—they’ll have to sue him and testify under oath about Biden’s actual mental capacity. It’s shrewd. It’s historic. And it puts the whole auto-pen scandal center stage. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The Trump Administration fired 8 immigration judges in New York City this week. Costco has filed a lawsuit seeking to be reimbursed for tariffs. One third of the commercial Drivers licenses issued by the state of Minnesota to foreign citizens was illegal and violated federal law. 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 Why does the word socialism sound so warm and friendly—when the system itself is anything but? We break down how the Left sells “social justice” and “social programs” with feel-good language, while real human connection gets replaced with government control. And why, in the end, the most “social” system might actually be capitalism. 16:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are furious with CNN after their son, Dylan, went on air and got absolutely schooled by Scott Jennings. Now the Hollywood power couple is blaming the network. We ask the American Mamas if they have a right to be upset with CNN for “setting him up to fail.” The Mamas ask a simple question: He’s 25… so who really set him up? We get into NEPO babies, media bubbles, and what happens when activism meets actual debate. Tune in—this conversation gets real. 23:00 Today we’re getting into mindsets—prosperity versus poverty—and why President Trump’s new “Trump accounts” are lighting a fire under the private sector. Michael and Susan Dell just dropped a staggering $6 billion to seed investment accounts for millions of American kids, and it’s sparking a bigger conversation: What happens when real innovators—not Washington—decide to bet on the next generation? We break down the difference between handouts and true investment, the power of compound growth, and why this is prosperity thinking in action. 26:00 We break down the left’s latest outrage—accusing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth of war crimes after the U.S. Navy took out a cartel-run drug boat in the Caribbean. The media is pushing a narrative that doesn’t even match its own reporting, and we’re unpacking every contradiction. We dig into President Trump’s Day One executive order labeling violent drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, the legal authority behind military action on the high seas, and why the AUMF from 2001 still matters today. Plus, we look at the staggering reality: drug cartels are killing the equivalent of 30 9/11s every year through narcotics flowing into America—yet some politicians are more upset about taking out cartel operatives than stopping the carnage. 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 a break from the heavy headlines to highlight just how far the American media has fallen—courtesy of The Washington Post, which decided the burning issue of our time is… bored pets. Yep. Front-page analysis on your cat’s emotional frustration while the country faces real crises. 35:30 We dive into a major move from Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, who’s announcing a full review of USDA programs to ensure benefits go only to U.S. citizens. Some call it common sense. Others call it controversial. We break down the clash: taxpayer dollars, strained safety nets, and the growing fight between states and the federal government over who gets what—and who pays for it. We're cutting through the noise, pushing past the political spin to get to the heart of the issue: limited resources, runaway costs, and a national conversation that’s quickly shifting from compassion to crisis. 39:30 A new poll shows Americans are turning on the idea of a four-year degree—only 33% now say college is worth the price tag. What happened? Higher education is losing its shine, from sky-high tuition fueled by government subsidies to campuses that feel more political than practical. People are looking at the cost compared to what they can make, and they're saying, "whoa."
