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

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

Jennifer Shetler never imagined that a routine run would lead her from the role of a healthcare professional to that of a heart patient. Yet, an unexpected bout of chest pain during her daily jog turned her world upside down, prompting her to reassess her perceptions of health. Join us as Jennifer shares her deeply personal journey through the complexities of cardiac care, from initial missteps in diagnosis to the eventual discovery of a myocardial bridge. Her story emphasizes the unpredictable nature of heart conditions, particularly for athletes, and sheds light on the unique ways these issues present in women. As we navigate Jen's experiences, we highlight the critical steps in diagnosing and managing cardiac conditions, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive testing. Her narrative underscores the challenges faced when outward appearances of health mask underlying problems, and how persistence in seeking advanced imaging can be life-saving. She candidly shares her decision-making process surrounding surgical options, the role of community support, and her reliance on a network of friends and run club members in overcoming her health crisis. The episode also explores the emotional and physical journey of recovery following cardiac surgery. Jennifer offers insights into building a strong support system and the power of patient advocacy in securing necessary care. Through her story, listeners are reminded of the importance of listening to their bodies and advocating for themselves within the healthcare system. Jennifer's transformation from heart nurse to heart patient serves as a poignant reminder of the value of resilience, knowledge, and community in navigating life's unexpected trials. Her trust in care is clearly demonstrated knowing the track record of a cardio thoracic surgeon known for his skill in bypasses, not unroofing procedures. This should be a valuable understanding as it opens the door for so many more opportunities to be "unroofed" knowing the necessary content is available to teach and support a qualified surgeon to perform the sugery he or she has likely already experienced.

This week Josh and Kevin are joined by Kelsey Shetler. Kelsey is a 1st generation cattle rancher and hunter from East Texas. Kelsey shares with us growing up down in Texas, getting into working with cattle, and how she got started in predator hunting. Kelsey has been doing a great job on not just predator hunting, but hunting competitions down there, and taking some great pics and videos in the process. We ask her about one of the things that drew us into following her on social media, her raccoon Maizie that accompanies her often while she is hunting. Kelsey also shares with us insights from raising livestock including cattle and now zebras, and the effects of predation, how important it is to manage them for sake of the livestock, but also, how managing a population year round can help reduce disease and other issues in the predator species. We discuss her predator hunting gear set ups, the types of sounds she likes to use throughout the year, stand length, and a bit about what it took her to win in tournaments down there. She also shares with us information about hog hunting down there, including telling us about the damage that the feral hog population can do to a farmers crops and tactics they use. (they get to do some fun stuff down there that we can't up here). As always.. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!
