Is a Recession Coming? Dr. Peter Earle Breaks Down the Real Economy

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 18, 2026. We open with a California bill moving through the legislature that would allow minors in residential treatment facilities to trigger state investigations of their own parents — and we explain why this isn't about protecting children from genuine abuse. It's about a state that has spent years operating from the assumption that parents are wrong and government is right. We walk through the mechanism — buried inside dry juvenile dependency language is a process by which a child who disagrees with their court-ordered treatment can initiate a legal review that effectively places their parents under state investigation. We connect it to a pattern the left has run for years — driving a wedge between children and the parents who are trying to save them, and then letting the state step in as the replacement parent. And we warn parents outside California that bad ideas rarely stay behind state lines. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the United States and Iran signed a Memorandum of Understanding — covering the five key pillars, with a 60-day negotiating window to reach a final deal and reconstruction funds from regional partners available if Iran follows through. Then D.C. Democrat primary winner Janice Lewis George is heading toward the general election, with President Trump already promising to take back D.C. if a socialist wins the mayor's race. And the Coast Guard intercepted a speedboat off the coast of Florida carrying 25 Chinese nationals attempting to enter the country illegally — firing on the engines to disable the vessel after repeated warnings went ignored. We note that we have never in our lifetimes heard of the U.S. government disabling boats trying to enter illegally — and call it exactly what it is: a closed border. We sit down with Dr. Peter Earle of the American Institute for Economic Research to take the actual temperature of the U.S. economy — separate from the media's doom-and-gloom narrative. Dr. Earle's assessment: the hard data still describe an expansion, but forward-looking indicators are more cautious. Consumer spending remains positive, corporate earnings are holding up, and there are no overall recessionary conditions — but elevated interest rates, housing affordability, and the national debt are real concerns. He also explains why gas prices won't drop overnight even with the Iran deal — the research shows it takes about 22 weeks for oil price reductions to fully pass through to consumers, meaning relief at the pump is more likely late summer or early fall. And he explains why Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire is less about personal wealth and more about what it will cost to turn SpaceX into the Amtrak of space travel over the next several decades. Barack and Michelle Obama appeared on Good Morning America to promote the opening of the Obama Presidential Center — and Barack said he wants visitors to walk through and think, what's possible? We take him at his word and answer the question. We also note that many of the subcontractors who built the nearly billion-dollar complex — which ran nearly $300 million over budget — have reportedly not been paid. Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the San Francisco Giants story — where pitchers were warned by MLB after writing Bible verses on their caps during Pride Night. A San Francisco player spoke beautifully about why the rainbow holds deep biblical meaning for Christians as the sign of God's Noahic covenant — and why writing Genesis 9:12-16 on a hat is not anti-anything. It's pro-something. Teri says she supports marriage equality — and still thinks forcing players to celebrate someone else's sexuality on their uniforms is wrong, performative, and is actually pushing people away from the very acceptance the movement says it wants. We also cover the New York Knicks' White House visit — and their championship celebration at City Hall, where Mayor Mamdani delivered a 10-minute speech before anyone from the actual championship team could speak. Knicks owner James Dolan stepped to the mic and said simply — I don't need your vote. I don't need to quote you. If you're a real Knicks fan, you already know. Nobody needed a program to figure out who that was aimed at. For our Bright Spot, a new American Enterprise Institute poll on civic values finds that 82% of Americans believe in equal opportunity regardless of race, religion, or gender, 79% say everyone has the right to their religious beliefs, 72% still believe hard work can lead to prosperity, and 66% believe people can criticize the government without fear of punishment. We call this exactly what it is — evidence that the American idea is still alive in the hearts of most Americans — and note that 75% say the Declaration of Independence should be taught in high school, even though only 29% have actually read it. It's two pages, folks. We also cover a Trump-appointed federal judge who ordered ICE to release a Palestinian green card holder convicted of throwing Molotov cocktails at Israeli armed forces — a man the U.S. government has known about for 25 years. We ask the more important question — why did we let him in in the first place? And we close with Alyssa Goralnik, who published a children's vocabulary book called Weighty Words in 1985 and never made a dime. Forty years later, an author named Eli McCann posted a video about the book on social media. Within weeks it hit the top of Amazon's bestseller charts and publishers rushed a second printing — not bad for a book written 20 years before Amazon existed.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 17, 2026. We open with the growing influence of New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani and the rise of democratic socialism in America. Mamdani is backing congressional candidate Darya Avila Chevalier, who argues that all deportations are wrong — even for illegal immigrants convicted of violent crimes. We examine what that position means for immigration policy, public safety, and whether some politicians have abandoned the most basic responsibilities of government. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we break down the latest election results in Georgia and Alabama, including where President Trump's endorsements helped and where they fell short. We also discuss the shocking legal strategy being used by the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, whose attorneys are preparing an "extreme emotional disturbance" defense. American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a surprising study on which professions have the highest divorce rates, leading to a candid conversation about marriage, social influence, friendship, and why some couples survive difficult seasons while others walk away. In Digging Deep, we expose a troubling pattern in government spending. A new report shows America's largest cities increased spending by 18% over the past decade with little measurable improvement in homelessness, violent crime, affordability, or income inequality. We also examine a massive fraud scheme in Minnesota involving 7,700 fake college students, stolen identities, and more than $12 million in taxpayer-funded financial aid. We also cover subcontractors who say they are still fighting to get paid for work performed on Barack Obama's $1 billion Presidential Center, the celebrity lineup celebrating the grand opening, and the double standard surrounding patriotism, politics, and public performances. For our Bright Spot, Scottish World Cup fans leave a lasting impact on New England by donating thousands of dollars to local charities, and a determined New York detective spends months tracking down a stolen wedding ring for a dementia patient — reuniting her with a treasured piece of her family's history.

Whose Rights Get Protected in America? - Abortion Pills, Pride Month, White House UFC

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 16, 2026. We open with Hollywood's next election cycle project — Sean Penn and Warner Brothers are producing a film about January 6th from the perspective of an anti-Trump police officer, described as based on a real person but fictionalized. We discuss what an honest January 6th film would actually require — including the FBI coming clean about how many informants were in that crowd, whether they incited the violence, and why that information has been withheld from both Congress and defendants. We also note that the FBI agent who ran the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping sting — which a Michigan appeals court just threw out — was the head FBI agent in Washington D.C. on January 6th. Do we trust Sean Penn to tell that story? We already know the answer. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the FBI disrupted a terrorist plot to attack the UFC fight on the White House lawn — suspects planned to use explosive-laden drones to drive survivors into sniper fire, with 23 people named as suspects arrested across Ohio, California, Missouri, and Nebraska. Then President Trump arrived in France for the G7 summit, where topics include the Iran peace deal, Russia-Ukraine, and energy security — with French President Macron already looking for alternative routes to move Middle Eastern oil that don't depend on the Strait of Hormuz. And 15 Antifa members were arrested in Minnesota and charged with conspiracy to injure federal law enforcement officers after attempting to block immigration enforcement operations earlier this year. We also cover James Carville's latest prediction that President Trump will resign by Easter of 2027 — bored, tired, distracted, and facing political collapse. We point out that Carville appears to be describing his own audience, not the man who negotiated an Iran peace deal, hosted a UFC fight on the White House lawn, and is still running laps around every critic who has ever declared him finished. Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the competing events on the same weekend as the UFC fight — the anti-Trump Hollywood rally featuring Bette Midler, Robert De Niro, Jane Fonda, and Julia Roberts telling the crowd to breathe in the love and breathe out the fear. Teri asks where this outrage was when men with surgical implants were flashing the White House lawn on Easter during the Biden administration. She researched the cultural events Obama hosted at the White House — and says she's glad he did them. Her only point is that if a white president had done the same things specifically for white audiences, the left would have called it a scandal. The hypocrisy is the story. We also cover Major League Baseball warning San Francisco Giants pitchers for displaying Bible verses on their caps during Pride Night — and connect it to a broader question about whose expression gets protected and whose gets punished — including the founding principle that rights come from the Creator, not from government, and why that matters the moment you try to elect someone who doesn't believe in a Creator at all. In our Digging Deep segment, we document the cascading consequences of the FDA's Biden-era decision to allow abortion pills to be shipped through the mail without an in-person doctor visit. We walk through a documented series of cases — a woman trying to secretly give her ex-boyfriend's girlfriend an abortion pill, a man who pretended to be a woman online to obtain the pills and then told his pregnant girlfriend they were supplements, a doctor who tried to feed the pills to his sleeping mistress, and a DOJ employee accused of baking the pills into cookies for his girlfriend. Her baby died two days later. We make the case that in their zeal to make abortion as easy as possible, the left has created a system that makes it easier to force abortions on women who don't want them — which is a direct contradiction of every argument they've ever made. We also cover a Cornell University student who refused a job interview and then told the employer he wasn't interested in working for a Jew — then doubled down when given a chance to walk it back. A crowdfunding campaign raised over $13,000 to reward him. We note that the Maine Democratic Party just nominated a man with an SS tattoo for Senate, endorsed by Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and connect the dots on where mainstreaming anti-Semitism leads. For our Bright Spot, a high school junior in Charlotte painted Live Like Kirk and a Bible verse on her school's spirit rock with prior permission — and was then treated like a criminal, forced out of class, and made to surrender her phone logs. The Alliance Defending Freedom took the case. The school board adopted a new speech policy, issued a public statement exonerating the student, and paid $95,000 in damages and fees. The Alliance Defending Freedom wins again. And we close with Jim Freeman, a fourth grade teacher at Tully Elementary in Louisville, who isn't even Ryan Neighbors' teacher — but when he heard that Ryan, who has spina bifida and uses a wheelchair, would have to miss the school field trip to the Falls of the Ohio State Park, he bought a specialized backpack and carried her through the park himself.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 15, 2026. We open with a major Supreme Court immigration case heading into the next term — the question of whether non-citizens with serious criminal convictions can be held in detention during deportation proceedings without bond hearings. We explain why this isn't a simple bumper sticker case, why the flight risk argument for criminal aliens is fundamentally different from that of U.S. citizens with community roots, and why the ruling could become one of the most consequential immigration decisions of the new term — directly testing how much process is due before temporary custody starts looking like indefinite imprisonment. We also get into President Trump's peace deal with Iran, and why Barack Obama's claim that this is essentially the same deal he negotiated is not just wrong but precisely backwards. Obama's deal had a time limit on nuclear development — legally allowing Iran to have a bomb by 2030. Trump's deal requires Iran to destroy its highly enriched uranium, pledge never to obtain nuclear weapons, stop funding Hezbollah and Hamas, and open the Strait of Hormuz immediately upon signing — with economic relief only after the first two conditions are fully met. No cash on the runway. No expiration date. Not the same deal. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump announced a peace agreement with Iran over the weekend — covering the five key points — with a final signing expected in Switzerland on Friday. Then a B-52 Stratofortress crashed in Southern California after taking off from Edwards Air Force Base, with military officials saying the crash was unsurvivable — we offer our prayers and gratitude to the crew. And President Trump endorsed Congressman Mike Collins in the Georgia Senate Republican runoff against Derek Dooley, a former football coach who admits he didn't vote in either 2016 or 2020. We walk through the five pillars of the Iran deal in detail — destruction of highly enriched uranium, a permanent pledge never to obtain nuclear weapons, ending the naval blockade only after the first two steps are complete, immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz upon signing, and a requirement that Iran stop funding all terrorist proxies including Hezbollah and Hamas. We note what makes this deal structurally different from every previous Iran negotiation — enforcement is built into the sequencing, not assumed as an afterthought. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss whether women should still take their husband's last name when they marry — prompted by viral videos of couples doing rock-paper-scissors and tug-of-war at their own weddings to decide whose name to use. The Spinks Sisters kept their maiden names as middle names, missed them immediately, and are pretty clear on where they stand. We also explore what it signals about a marriage when a woman doesn't take her husband's name — and why in Washington especially, different last names make it a lot harder to spot the conflicts of interest. In our Digging Deep segment, we take on the left's use of adjectives to alter meaning and control thought — starting with the phrase progressive Christianity versus Christian right. We work through why these two constructions mean completely different things, why the need for the adjective tells you the noun isn't what's being advertised, and how a pastor writing in Salon Magazine misquotes Jesus — changing blessed are the poor in spirit to blessed are the poor — to make Christ's words align with progressive ideology. We connect it to George Orwell's observation that whoever controls the language controls the masses, and explain why this linguistic sleight of hand is one of the left's most effective political tools. We also note that Bill Maher is endorsing Graham Plattner — the Maine Democratic Senate candidate with the SS tattoo and the predator website — and explain that this isn't about principle. It's about keeping Susan Collins out of the Senate. Power, not values. We also push back on Robert De Niro's claim that loving America today is like an abused spouse loving an abuser — and point out that conservatives who disagreed with everything Obama and Biden did never stopped saying they loved their country. Disagreeing with your leaders and loving your country are not the same thing. They never have been. For our Bright Spot, the U.S. Men's National Team beat Paraguay 4-1 in the World Cup — the most goals the U.S. has ever scored in a World Cup match, with Florian Balogun scoring two in the first half. But the moment that mattered most came after the final whistle, when the entire team circled up in the middle of the field and prayed. Defender Mark McKenzie, whom teammates call pastor, led the prayer. On the biggest stage in the world, the U.S. team's first instinct was gratitude. We contrast that with Diego Maradona, who scored a goal with his hand and called himself a god. We'll take our team. And we close with Emily Matijovic, a 16-year-old from Michigan who passed away in December and whose family chose to donate her organs. This spring — the spring she was supposed to graduate — her family threw her a graduation party. Four-year-old Ripley Farrell came from West Virginia. She received one of Emily's kidneys. Teenager Landon Coleman came from Virginia. He received Emily's heart. He told her family it lets him do things he couldn't do before. It is in giving that we receive.

Illegal Immigrant Driver's Licenses, Secret Biolabs, and a Trillionaire

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 12, 2026. We open with a question that gets at something deeper than any single news story — what's the difference between conspiracy theory and reality? We argue the answer is evidence, and we got a lot of it this week. We connect this to a Florida governor's race story — the presumptive Democratic nominee David Jolly is arguing illegal immigrants should be granted driver's licenses for the safety of all Floridians. We walk through why this argument requires you to accept that citizenship means nothing, that legal and illegal immigration are the same thing, and that the solution to someone breaking federal law is to hand them a state credential rather than send them home. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Now, SpaceX completed its initial public offering, opening at $150 a share and closing the day up 19% at $160.95 — the largest IPO in world history, making Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire and creating 4,400 millionaire employees in a single day. Then President Trump nominated Jay Clayton, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to be the permanent Director of National Intelligence after Tulsi Gabbard's resignation — a pick that's already won the support of Senate Majority Leader John Thune. And the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 to uphold a lower court's ban on nitrogen asphyxiation as a method of execution in Alabama, with Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma also having authorized but not yet used the method. We also cover the United States becoming India's top supplier of liquefied natural gas — a development President Trump predicted, and one we frame as more than an economic story. It's about whether the world's largest democracy depends on energy from a stable rule-of-law nation or from regimes that use energy as a geopolitical weapon. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss whether a single two-week vacation or multiple three-day getaways make for better family trips — and the consensus is clear. Long weekends create harmony, give everyone a job, and end before anyone's feelings get hurt. Teri shares the trick for getting grown children to join family trips — tell them you'll cover everything and all they have to do is show up. In our Digging Deep segment, outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a bombshell report revealing that the U.S. government has secretly funded more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries — including roughly 40 in Ukraine, a war zone, storing pathogens like anthrax, Ebola, and SARS. We explain gain-of-function research — modifying viruses to make them more dangerous — and connect it to Senator Rand Paul's documented evidence that the U.S. funded this kind of research in Wuhan despite repeated denials from Dr. Fauci and Biden administration officials. We also discuss a deeply troubling story out of Carencro, Louisiana, where a father is accused of secretly giving abortion pills to his 17-year-old pregnant daughter without her knowledge, causing a medical emergency and premature delivery — and we connect it to the broader debate over telehealth abortion pill prescriptions, which the data shows send one in ten women to the emergency room. We also cover Democrats publicly calling for the demolition of the White House ballroom construction project if they regain power — and reflect on how dramatically the rhetoric around government buildings and symbolism has shifted over the decades. Then it's our 10th year of Fake News Friday — covering whether more people attended the congressional baseball game than a typical Washington Nationals game, whether SpaceX is now worth more than the entire nation of Canada, whether two children running a lemonade stand in South Boston were robbed at gunpoint, whether a Pakistani immigrant running for mayor in Texas pled guilty to over 100 counts of voter fraud, and whether Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett claimed the knife used to murder Austin Metcalf wasn't a deadly weapon. We also discuss the defacing of the National Mall with anti-Trump messaging carved into the grass — and make the point that the National Mall belongs to the American people, not to any politician or party, regardless of who's in office. And we close with the story of Margaret Kerry, the human model and inspiration for Disney's Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, who passed away this past week at age 97.

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

The preclinical data on tissue repair is remarkable. But the same biological mechanism that drives its healing power is the exact mechanism tumors use to survive and grow.BPC-157 is a synthetic 15 amino acid sequence isolated from human gastric juice, first identified in the early 1990s. It drives tissue repair through six mechanisms: angiogenesis via VEGF upregulation, nitric oxide pathway modulation, FAK paxillin signaling activation, growth hormone receptor upregulation in tendons and ligaments, anti-inflammatory cytokine downregulation, and free radical scavenging for cell protection. An active Phase II randomized controlled trial is currently evaluating BPC-157 for acute hamstring muscle strain repair. Its pro-angiogenic properties raise a theoretical cancer risk in individuals with undiagnosed early-stage tumors. WADA has banned it for competitive athletes.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 10, 2026. We open with a deep dive into the Iran negotiations — and the fundamental question that no amount of dealmaking experience can easily solve. President Trump is the greatest negotiator of his generation, but every negotiation assumes both parties want a mutually beneficial outcome. The Iranian regime wakes up every morning chanting death to America and death to Israel. Where is the common ground with people who want you dead? We trace the Iranian Revolution back to its founding act — not signing a constitution, not declaring independence, but taking Americans hostage — and explain why a regime defined by its opposition to America may never be capable of the kind of deal Trump has made in every other negotiation of his life. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire again this week following Iran's shooting down of an American Apache helicopter — the U.S. launched fighter jet strikes on Iranian air defenses, Iran fired missiles at U.S. bases in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait, and the U.S. launched a second wave of strikes Wednesday evening. President Trump said Iran was taking too long and would now have to pay the price. Then Democrats in Maine voted overwhelmingly to nominate Graham Plattner — the man with the SS tattoo, the predator website, and the endorsements of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren — as their Senate candidate against Susan Collins. And Carmelo Anthony was convicted of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years in prison — a jury that took just three hours to convict and another three hours to sentence, while protesters outside claimed the verdict was racist despite multiple Black teammates of Metcalf testifying that Anthony committed the crime. We dig into the aftermath of the Anthony verdict — specifically a petition circulating on Change.org calling for the arrest of Austin Metcalf's surviving twin brother Hunter, claiming his alleged behavior contributed to the murder. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to the mother outside the courthouse who asked what she should tell her five sons after the verdict. The answer, says Teri, is simple — don't stab people. We also discuss the race-baiting that surrounded the trial from the beginning, the GoFundMe that raised millions for Anthony's defense, the impact statements from the Metcalf family in the courtroom, and why Carmelo Anthony's parents walked out rather than listen to Austin Metcalf's father speak. We also cover President Trump bringing the workers who restored the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool into the Oval Office — giving them presidential challenge coins and publicly honoring the people who actually did the work rather than the politicians who show up for the gold-plated shovel photo op. We call it exactly what it is — a reminder that America was built by people in tool belts, not people at podiums. In our Digging Deep segment, a new Signal poll heading into the midterms shows that swing voters — the ones who actually decide elections — believe Democrats are more focused on hating Donald Trump than solving problems by a margin of 23 points. We also note that only 58% of Americans say they are extremely or very proud to be American, including only 28% of voters under 30, and that 30% of Democrats say they are not at all proud of their country. We make the case that if you can't tell the American people what you love about this country or offer them solutions that have actually worked somewhere on earth, running on hatred of one man is not a winning message. We also weigh in on Graham Plattner's victory speech — in which he said it was his job to earn the trust of disappointed voters. We point out that trust is not the starting point. Vision is. And we ask the question JFK would have asked — what can you do for your country — and wonder how well his 1961 inaugural address would play at a 2026 Democrat rally. For our Bright Spot, the World Cup kicks off Thursday in the United States, Canada, and Mexico — and European fans traveling across America to follow their teams are going viral for the most American reasons imaginable. A German man driving from Georgia through Mississippi to Texas ate Waffle House at 1 a.m., stopped at Buc-ee's, and attended a practice match at Auburn Stadium where he posted that his European mind could not comprehend what he was seeing. A Swedish woman who flew into Indianapolis posted from a flight over Colorado that she had faster Wi-Fi than at home and that the United States had completely radicalized her within 48 hours. We call it what it is — the American dream, visible to everyone who arrives here with open eyes. And we close with the Chicago Bears officially heading to Hammond, Indiana — after Governor Pritzker couldn't offer them what they needed. They weren't asking for a bailout. They were willing to invest $2 billion of their own money. All they wanted was tax stability. A government that has no stability itself cannot give stability to anyone else.

24,000 Ballots Counted, Zero for Pratt — and the Courts Won't Call It Fraud

American Ground Radio

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 9, 2026. We open with President Trump's declaration that the U.S. will achieve total victory over Iran within two weeks — and we dig into what that actually means. Iran just shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz. Both pilots survived and were rescued by an unmanned drone in the first such rescue of U.S. service members in history. We work through the tensions in Trump's statements — between declaring victory in two weeks and talking about trillions of dollars in infrastructure reconstruction — and ask whether those two things can both be true at the same time. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Iran shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz — both pilots bailed out safely and were rescued by an unmanned drone in a historic first. Then Vice President J.D. Vance sent a criminal referral to the DOJ urging prosecution of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for covering up Medicaid fraud, intimidating whistleblowers, and directing state employees to stop investigating fraud in Somali immigrant communities to avoid accusations of racism. And Carmelo Anthony has been convicted of murdering high school track star Austin Metcalf — who was stabbed in the heart with a knife Anthony had hidden in his backpack at a Texas track meet after refusing to leave a rival school's tent when asked. We get Dr. John Eastman — former attorney for President Trump and former California attorney general candidate — on the phone to explain why Spencer Pratt was eliminated from the Los Angeles mayor's race after holding second place on Election Day. Eastman explains California's universal mail-in ballot system, the notoriously dirty voter rolls full of dead people and illegal immigrants, the practice of runners harvesting ballots from apartment mailboxes, and the statistical impossibility of a ballot batch update in which 24,000 votes were counted and zero — literally zero — went to a candidate who had been pulling about 30% throughout the count. He also explains why the courts in California refuse to accept statistical anomalies as evidence of fraud and why the system has been deliberately designed to make post-election proof nearly impossible to obtain. And he connects it all back to the founding principle — the only legitimate government is one based on the consent of the governed, and consent can only be given through free and fair elections. We also cover new information from Jim Jordan's congressional hearings showing that the Biden Justice Department met with the Southern Poverty Law Center on a quarterly basis, treated them as a credible source, and used their designations — which labeled the Family Research Council, Moms for Liberty, and the Alliance Defending Freedom as hate groups — to inform federal law enforcement decisions. The Richmond FBI memo suggesting pro-life Catholics could be linked to extremism? The sourcing came from the SPLC. We explain why this matters to everyone regardless of party — because when a government starts investigating viewpoints instead of crimes, nobody is safe. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of whether someone with an OnlyFans page can ever expect to get a husband — prompted by the news that Denise Richards joined OnlyFans after her own daughter did. We get into why the platform combines the two things people most want — money and fame — while delivering neither happiness nor lasting value, and why the basketball player's wife who kept her page secret for five years until her husband found out and divorced her is the most honest version of where that road ends. We dig into Washington D.C. public school sex education — which has apparently stopped using the terms male and female to describe human biology in order to avoid conflicting with gender ideology. We note that this is being done in what some consider the most educated city in America, and compare it to trying to teach geography without using the words continent or ocean. For our Bright Spot, Meta has announced America's Workforce Academy — a cost-free, five-week training program with an initial $115 million investment that will train fiber technicians, welders, plumbers, electricians, and other skilled trade workers and guarantee jobs for all graduates. Mike Rowe calls it an important step in the right direction. We call it exactly what it is — a private company solving a public problem without waiting for the government to screw it up first. And we close with the crew of Artemis 3 — Colonel Randy Bresnik, Colonel Frank Rubio, Commander Andre Douglas, and Italian astronaut Colonel Luca Parmitano — announced by NASA this week for the upcoming lunar landing mission expected to launch in late 2027. And an Air Canada pilot who flew commercially for 17 years without a valid pilot's license — proof that AI isn't the original scam. People have been fooling each other since the beginning of civilization. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Who Is Funding Traveling ICE Protesters?

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 8, 2026. We open with Border Czar Tom Holman's revelation that the protesters outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark are not grassroots New Jersey residents — they are professional travel protesters identified by facial recognition as having shown up at ICE facilities across the country, many from Portland and Minnesota. We explain why this isn't surprising, why Nancy Pelosi herself coined the term astroturf back in 2010 to describe the exact same tactic, and why the left's first instinct is always to accuse their opponents of the strategies they're already executing. We also ask the question nobody in the media is asking — who is funding this, and why haven't the organizers been charged under the RICO Act for coordinating criminal activity across state lines? In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Spencer Pratt has apparently been eliminated from the Los Angeles mayor's race — after holding a clear second place on Election Day, his vote share in ballots arriving after Election Day collapsed from 28% to 19%, while Democratic socialist Nithya Raman went from third place to first, gaining 17 percentage points in post-Election Day ballots to overtake both Pratt and Karen Bass. The DOJ is in California investigating the election. Then a 200-page House Oversight Committee report accuses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz of covering up massive Medicaid fraud in his state — including ordering employees to stop investigating fraud in Somali immigrant communities to avoid appearing racist, and then turning the investigative apparatus against the whistleblowers themselves, photographing their cars, monitoring their phones and computers, and finding out where their children went to school. And a nonprofit filed a lawsuit to stop the UFC fight on the White House lawn, claiming it violates federal law and an environmental impact study wasn't conducted before the temporary stadium was built. We discuss President Trump walking out of his interview with Kristen Welker — and our American Mama Teri Netterville says what millions of Americans were thinking when they watched it. We talk about the growing gap between what the media is willing to report on Republicans versus Democrats, how the same anchor who challenges Trump's claim that Capitol Police let protesters into the Capitol has shown that footage on her own broadcast, and why after years of being asked to sit down with people who are going to misrepresent everything he says, the president finally said enough. We also weigh in on Steven Spielberg's new movie Disclosure Day, in which he says he believes aliens have been here, that they are here, and that his film will leave Christians questioning their faith in God. We respectfully decline. We also note that he seems considerably less eager to challenge the faith of groups that don't respond with patience. In our Digging Deep segment, Scott Pelley went to the New York Times after being fired from CBS and complained that his new boss suggested the public thinks CBS is biased — and Pelley demanded to know what evidence exists for that claim. We provide the evidence. Gallup's 2024 poll showed only 31% of Americans had any trust in mass media — the lowest since 1972. In 2025 it dropped to 28%. An Emerson College poll from 2025 found only 18% of Americans have a great deal of trust in national news organizations. Half of Americans believe news organizations deliberately mislead them. AllSides rates CBS with the same left-leaning bias as CNN, the New York Times, NPR, and the Washington Post. All of this was available on the first page of a single search engine query. We say if Pelley couldn't find it, he should have been fired for incompetence, not just insubordination. We cover WNBA player Breonna Turner's objection to the USA 250 anniversary patch on WNBA jerseys — because, she says, none of the players would have been free 250 years ago. We note that basketball wasn't invented until 1891, and more importantly, that America's 250th anniversary is a celebration not of perfection but of the principles in the Declaration of Independence that Martin Luther King himself called a promissory note — the promise that made her freedom possible. For our Bright Spot, the Department of Energy announced last week that a new nuclear reactor reached zero power fueled criticality at a lab in Idaho — the first reactor in 40 years to reach criticality in the United States — a month ahead of President Trump's July 4th deadline that most experts said was impossible. We explain what zero power criticality means, why micro-reactors are a game changer for energy independence, why the U.S. Navy has operated nuclear reactors on submarines and aircraft carriers since the 1950s with zero accidents, and why the future belongs to nations with abundant, affordable, and reliable energy. And we close with Hakeem Jeffries apparently trying to launch his own Contract with America — assembling a Democratic affordability agenda with AOC in charge of healthcare and a transgender member of Congress in charge of caregiving. We wish him luck. We also close with 1,000 avocado growers in the Mexican state of Michoacán setting a world record with 15,000 pounds of guacamole. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Trump's Election Audit Warning: Someone's Going to Get Caught

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 5, 2026. We open with the federal government's announcement of multiple election fraud investigations and a comprehensive audit of California's voter registration system — while California is still counting ballots days after its primary election. We make the case that this isn't just about catching cheaters after the fact — it's deterrence ahead of the midterms. The Trump administration is sending a message to every state that someone is watching, and the only way that message lands is if someone ends up in a perp walk before November. We also explain why election integrity is mathematically connected to voter turnout — because when people believe their vote might not matter, they stop showing up. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, May job numbers came in at 172,000 — more than double the economists' expectation of 80,000 — with unemployment holding at 4.3% and wages rising without a single government mandate to do it. Then Florida settled the NRA's lawsuit against its three-day gun purchase waiting period, with the attorney general agreeing the law violated the Second Amendment — a remarkable shift in a state that passed that law with 72% of voters in 1998. And Democratic Congressman Jimmy Gomez — founder of the Dads Caucus in Congress, married with a son — admitted to an extramarital affair with the 29-year-old chief of staff of fellow California Democrat Eric Swalwell. The House Ethics Committee has launched a probe as additional allegations surface. We also have a direct conversation with the one in three working-age men who have checked out of the workforce entirely — not just temporarily unemployed, but not even looking. We say what needs to be said — the greatness God placed inside you is not going to manifest on the couch. Go get a job, start a business, join the military, farm something. Do something. Women are doing it. Your country needs you to do it. Our American Mama Teri Netterville weighs in on Victoria's Secret's dramatic comeback — stock price up from $15 to $75 after the company abandoned its DEI era and returned to supermodels, fantasy, and the product their customers actually wanted. Teri explains why more women than men watched the Victoria's Secret runway show in its prime, why women dress for other women as much as for their partners, and why the body positivity era collapsed under the weight of its own ideology — including the irony that the women who most loudly celebrated it are now on Ozempic. In our Digging Deep segment, a congressional candidate in Iowa published a public confession apologizing for being white, cisgender, able-bodied, middle-class, and college-educated — and we use it to explain the fundamental difference between equal opportunity and equal outcomes that is at the root of almost every major political disagreement in America today. You should not feel guilty for succeeding unless you cheated to do it. America never promised equal outcomes. It promised equal opportunity. Those are not the same thing — and confusing them is the left's most effective lie. We then dig into the judge who just ruled that President Trump's name must be removed from the Kennedy Center by June 16th — U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, appointed by Barack Obama. Judge Cooper is married to Amy Jeffress, who is Joe Biden's personal attorney and a partner at a law firm that represented E. Jean Carroll in her lawsuit against Trump. The man who officiated their wedding was Merrick Garland. Judge Cooper did not recuse himself. We lay out every connection and ask a simple question — even if the legal ruling was technically correct, how is any of this supposed to inspire confidence in the rule of law? The Senate passed the $70 billion reconciliation package funding ICE and Customs and Border Protection through 2029 — with only one Republican voting against it. We note it was not Susan Collins, not Bill Cassidy, not Mitch McConnell. It was Lisa Murkowski. Again. Then it's Fake News Friday — including whether California is still counting the 1966 governor's race, whether Democrats convinced a man named Dan Sullivan to run against Senator Dan Sullivan in Alaska to confuse voters, whether Democrats want to replace the words mother and father in the law with gestating parent and non-gestating parent, whether Seattle's mayor broke her own Starbucks boycott for a blueberry muffin latte, and whether Disney is making a full-length Jar Jar Binks movie. We also cover a House bill heading to the floor that would allow service members to buy gasoline at military exchanges without paying the federal gas tax — and we ask the only question that matters. Why shouldn't they? And we close with words of wisdom on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day — from FDR, Ronald Reagan, General Eisenhower, and Private First Class Joseph Lesniewski of Easy Company, who said simply, I don't feel like any kind of hero. To me, the work had to be done. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 4, 2026. We open with a conversation about Congress's seemingly unlimited capacity for symbolism and its equally limited appetite for actual governance — prompted by the bill to rename the street in front of the Chinese embassy Tiananmen Square Memorial Boulevard. We love the trolling, we love the underlying principle, and we think every Chinese diplomat should have to write that address on their stationery every day. But we also note that the SAVE Act — which 70% of Americans support, including 69% of independents and nearly half of rank-and-file Democrats — is still sitting unactioned. You cannot tell us you can walk and chew gum at the same time if you're only blowing bubbles. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump announced he wants Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch to become the permanent AG — and after overseeing the indictment of James Comey and launching the National Fraud Enforcement Division, we think he's earned it. Then the federal government cut off Hawaii from Medicaid funding after decertifying its Medicaid Fraud Control Unit — a unit that received millions of dollars to fight fraud, produced zero criminal indictments between 2022 and 2025, and watched Medicaid enrollment explode by 40% in the same period. And water began flowing again into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — restored for an estimated $13 to $20 million, which is less than half of what the Obama administration spent on a failed repair project that left the pool just as dirty six months later. Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to the Black Crows concert in Florida where the lead singer told a crowd chanting USA that he didn't understand why they were cheering for this country. Thousands walked out. Teri says she would have been one of them — and explains why the cultural fatigue is real and permanent now. We talk about why woke entertainment keeps failing at the box office, why Snow White bombed, why the all-lesbian Star Trek didn't survive one season, and why Americans are done pretending they'll tolerate being told their country is awful by the people it made wealthy. We dig into the Austin Metcalf murder trial — which CBS News and most of the media are calling the Carmelo Anthony trial, burying the name of the murdered boy seven paragraphs down. We explain why the jury ended up without any Black members — and the answer, straight from CBS News itself, is not that prosecutors were racist. It's that several prospective Black jurors admitted under oath they could not vote to convict a defendant who looked like them, or who looked like a kid, regardless of the evidence. One said he would have a hard time putting a brother in jail. We ask the question nobody wants to ask — if jurors in the other direction had said the same thing in reverse, what would happen? And we ask how many juries have had people on them who felt the same way but didn't say so out loud? The Senate voted to strip the SAVE Act from the reconciliation package — with four Republicans joining Democrats to kill it: Murkowski, McConnell, Tillis, and Collins. We explain why each of them voted the way they did, and we note that 81% of Americans support requiring voter ID and 80% want states to purge non-citizens from voter rolls. This is not a radical idea. It is the will of the American people, and four Republican senators just overruled it. For our Bright Spot, Senator John Fetterman — standing alone again among Senate Democrats — went on record calling out Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Plattner over the new revelations about his explicit messaging to women on a platform known for sexual predators. Fetterman said if you've already lied about the Nazi tattoo situation, there are probably a lot more ranches you haven't seen yet. We make the comparison to Alexander Hamilton's endorsement of Thomas Jefferson — I may disagree with his principles, but at least he has them. We also cover the Israel-Lebanon-Hezbollah ceasefire framework — and explain why the big if in that deal is Hezbollah, which has never wanted peace with Israel and still doesn't. And we close with Sterling Nassa, who was sitting in the audience at a live orchestra performance of La La Land in Sydney when the pianist came down ill at intermission. The conductor walked out and asked if anyone in the house could play. Sterling was a trained pianist and an accomplished sight reader. He walked up, sight read the second half of the concert, including a complicated piano solo, and saved the show. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

The Big Beautiful Bill and the Cost of Lowering Standards

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 3, 2026. We open with the numbers behind Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill that the media isn't telling you — 96% of taxpayers receiving a tax cut earned less than $200,000 a year, 70% earned less than $100,000, and households between $50,000 and $100,000 received an average reduction of over $815. We dig into what those numbers actually represent — 29 million filers claiming no tax on overtime, 7.5 million claiming no tax on tips, 35 million seniors claiming the enhanced senior deduction, 40 million families claiming the enhanced child tax credit, and 127 million taxpayers claiming the doubled standard deduction. We also explain why a tax code is more than a collection of rates — it's a statement about what a government chooses to encourage, and when you tax work and savings and punish overtime, you get less of all three. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an emergency ruling allowing Alabama to proceed with its congressional maps — overruling lower courts that had blocked the state from using the old map even after the Supreme Court itself had reversed its earlier ruling requiring minority-majority districts. Then longtime CBS News anchor Scott Pelley was fired after publicly confronting the new 60 Minutes executive producer at a staff meeting, calling him unqualified and accusing CBS News leadership of trying to kill the show — and refusing to make peace afterward. We note that anyone who refuses to acknowledge there has been a bias problem at CBS News is not capable of being part of fixing it. And Samsung announced it is moving its U.S. corporate headquarters from New Jersey to Plano, Texas — following ExxonMobil, which announced its own departure from New Jersey the week before. New Jersey has the highest corporate income tax rate in the country. Texas has zero. We also cover Colorado Governor Jared Polis signing a law requiring college and university health centers to stock and dispense abortion-inducing drugs — meaning one of the primary services a Colorado college campus must now provide is access to pills designed to end pregnancies. We ask what would happen if that same level of energy were directed toward helping pregnant students continue their education and carry their children to term. Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins the conversation on the California elections — where at the time of broadcast, Steve Hilton leads Xavier Becerra in the governor's race and Spencer Pratt trails Karen Bass in the Los Angeles mayor's race with about half the votes counted. We discuss why NBC was already telling viewers that mail-in ballots would push Pratt to third place before counting was even finished, why Brazil counted 124 million ballots in two hours while California is projecting 37 days for 10 million, and why the SAVE Act matters more after watching California's election unfold in real time. We also cover Democratic Congresswoman Camlager Dove shouting at Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a congressional hearing and then walking out before he could answer — and Rubio's perfectly measured response, which sounded remarkably like a man watching his wife leave the room mid-argument. We make the point that committee hearings have stopped being about answers and started being entirely about social media soundbites. In our Digging Deep segment, 1,100 STEM professors in California have written a letter begging the state to restore standardized testing after the University of California system dropped ACT and SAT requirements during the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020. The results are in — the number of college students whose math skills fall below high school level has increased nearly 30-fold, with 70% of those students performing below middle school level. Professors are being forced to reteach middle school algebra while simultaneously teaching college-level engineering and sciences. We explain why eliminating standards doesn't help minority students — it abandons them, and then blames the test for their unpreparedness rather than the system that failed to prepare them. We also cover a Breitbart roundtable discussion on America's greatest strategic advantage in the AI race against China — and the surprising conclusion that it isn't technology, military power, or economic strength. It's the human soul. Communism, by suppressing religion, individuality, and free will, has weakened the very thing that separates humans from machines. The founders protected that, and it still matters. For our Bright Spot, DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen testified that the border wall is on track for completion from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of America by this time next year — with all contracts out by end of month, a secondary wall being added in high-traffic areas, and a smart wall system that deploys drones the moment sensors detect a breach. We call it exactly what it is — a promise made, a promise being kept. We also note that Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut is now saying that 77 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump are ignorant and uninformed. We respond briefly and move on. And we close with Leah Wilson, who heard crows cawing around a rain gutter, called the fire department, rescued an injured crow, and held its claw on the drive to the wildlife center.

The Cost of Mandated Leave, Title IX, and Washington's $5.1 Billion Mistake

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 2, 2026. We open with House Democrats promoting the Reproductive Health Care Leave Act — a bill that would require employers to provide up to 12 days of paid leave annually for menstrual and reproductive health issues. We ask the questions nobody in Washington is asking — what does this do to small businesses, what does this do to GDP, and what kind of incentive does this create for employers deciding between male and female job candidates? We also connect it to the same pattern we see in every Democrat policy proposal — from Obamacare to minimum wage mandates — where the people making the rules have no concept of how a business actually functions or how the cost gets paid. We also revisit Obamacare's core promise — bend the curve down on health care costs — and note that the average American family now pays $2,200 a month for health insurance, more than the average mortgage payment, while most Americans still can't find out what an x-ray actually costs. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump signed an executive order lowering tariffs on copper, aluminum, and steel from 25% to 15% — a move Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick requested in response to conditions affecting domestic industries. We note this kind of market-reactive decision is exactly why tariff authority may need to sit with the executive rather than the legislature. Then Mexican authorities discovered a cartel smuggling tunnel running three football fields long, 20 feet underground, equipped with lights, ventilation, and electric sliding mechanisms — running from Tijuana directly under a home and into San Diego. And Tulsi Gabbard has officially resigned as Director of National Intelligence to care for her husband as he undergoes surgery for a rare form of bone cancer — with Bill Pulte, currently head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, named as interim DNI. Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins the conversation on the Reproductive Health Care Leave Act — and she has opinions. Teri calls it utterly ridiculous, points out that there is already sick leave for genuine medical issues, warns that if 12 paid days are mandated, every single one of them will get used regardless of medical necessity, and asks the question the Democrats haven't answered — define what a woman is before you pass a bill about women's health. We also revisit the fundamental contradiction — the same party demanding menstrual leave for women is demanding women serve in combat alongside men with no accommodation. We cover President Trump declaring June Title IX Month — rather than Pride Month — and make the case that Title IX may be the most consequential piece of legislation for women in American history. We point to the U.S. women's soccer team, which has won more World Cups than any other nation on earth — not because American women are more interested in soccer than their male counterparts, but because Title IX forced colleges to build women's programs that no other country was building. We note the irony that Megan Rapinoe, whose career exists because of Title IX, now argues that biological males should be allowed to compete against women. In our Digging Deep segment, South Dakota has passed a law banning the advertising of abortion pills — which are already illegal in the state — and the New York-based nonprofit Mayday Health is suing, claiming free speech protection. We dig into the constitutional question — can you advertise for something illegal? Can a state that has declared abortion to be murder allow advertising for murder? We also note that the advertising isn't passive — the web address in the ad leads directly to shipping the illegal drugs into the state. We lay out the arguments on both sides and acknowledge this is likely headed to the Supreme Court. We also take on Steph Curry's decision to sign an athletic branding deal with a Chinese company rather than an American one — and make the case that while it's his right, symbolism matters when your entire brand is built on American fans. For our Bright Spot, Indiana Governor Mike Braun has declared June as Nuclear Family Month — complete with a proclamation citing research that children raised by married biological parents have better physical and emotional outcomes, that when families weaken society compensates with expensive inferior substitutes like welfare systems and surrogate discipline, and that the nuclear family is the most effective means of raising capable adults. We call it exactly what it is — something any parent can explain to their children in ten seconds without any awkwardness whatsoever. We also cover Pete Hegseth's discovery of $5.1 billion in duplicate contracts at the Department of Defense — overlapping IT systems, consulting contracts, and overpriced services — and explain why you won't hear about this in many other places — because it confirms what most Americans already suspect about how Washington spends their money. And we close with words of wisdom about the importance of family from Thomas Jefferson, Princess Diana, Lee Iacocca, and Mother Teresa. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

"I finally realized I was not paying for a service. I was paying for hope. And hope is not a business strategy."Welcome back to The Speaker Lab Podcast! Fair warning — host Dan Irvin is ruffling some feathers in this one. In this solo episode, he takes on one of the most common "shortcuts" speakers chase: the speaker bureau.Dan has personally signed up with about a dozen of them. Paid the fees, built the profiles, sent the demo reels, connected with the reps. Total paid gigs booked across all of them? Zero. Meanwhile, he's doing 40+ events a year using the exact process he teaches at The Speaker Lab. So either he's unbookable — or something about the bureau model is broken. In this episode, he breaks down exactly what bureaus are actually selling, who they actually work for, and what to do instead.You'll hear about:Why the bureau pitch is so appealing — and why it almost never delivers what it promisesThe difference between a booking machine and a listing service (most bureaus are the second one)The four things bureaus won't help you with: positioning, marketing assets, coaching, and actual speaking experienceWhy the speakers who get booked through bureaus are almost always speakers who were already booking themselvesThe bureau is an amplifier, not an engine — and why most speakers have the order completely backwardsDan's personal nine-month bureau experiment: paid the fee, sent everything, got zero leads — and a vague email when he finally asked what they'd done with his profileThe story of a woman who signed with three bureaus, paid onboarding fees, and started wondering if she was even cut out for speaking (she was — the system was the problem)Why the bureau model quietly destroys speaker confidence by making you think you're the problemThe three things that actually get speakers booked: owning your system, working with guides who are in the trenches, and building the wraparound infrastructureWhy the talk is only 15% of the equation — and how bureaus won't touch the other 85%And much, much more!"Stop renting somebody else's process.

Birthright Citizenship on Trial

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 22, 2026. We open with the Supreme Court's pending decision on birthright citizenship — one of the most consequential immigration rulings in American history. We break down the actual constitutional debate over the 14th Amendment's phrase subject to the jurisdiction thereof, what the founders who wrote and debated the amendment said it meant at the time, why the logical interpretation is that children of people who entered the country illegally were never intended to receive automatic citizenship, and why President Trump's comment that the court will probably rule against him may be more strategic than frustrated — a piece of reverse psychology designed to force the justices to rule on the law rather than their feelings about Trump. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the Democrat National Committee released its 192-page post-mortem on the 2024 election — complete with a disclaimer that it doesn't necessarily represent the views of the DNC itself. The report blames Kamala Harris for not changing her position on transgender issues, says Democrats didn't run enough negative ads against Trump, and admits the party took Latino voters for granted — but doesn't say a single word about Biden's mental decline or the decision to install Harris as nominee without a single primary vote. Then the DOJ indicted 15 people in Minnesota for $90 million in Medicaid fraud — the largest Medicaid fraud case in Minnesota history and the largest autism fraud case in American history — while Tim Walz was governor. And the Department of Homeland Security announced that more than 3 million illegal aliens have either been deported or voluntarily self-deported since President Trump took office — with self-deportation costing the government over $10,000 less per case than forced removal, and an app available for anyone who wants to take advantage of the $2,600 voluntary departure payment while preserving their right to return legally. We also discuss the broader immigration picture in France, where a major new study shows that roughly one third of France's population is either foreign-born or the child or grandchild of immigrants — and what happens when mass immigration is welcomed without any expectation of cultural assimilation. We connect it directly to the debate happening in America and explain why saying American culture is worth preserving is not racism. It's patriotism. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a deeply relatable topic — growing up with spoiled cousins, and the particular heartbreak of watching a child feel less valued than their cousins by the same grandparents. We get into the nine-year-old boy who told his mother through tears that he was really trying to be grateful, the grandmother who took one grandchild on a New York trip and forgot she had other grandchildren, and why the awareness to keep things equitable across cousins is one of the most underappreciated gifts a grandparent can give. We sit down in studio with Dan Clark, regional director for Bill Glass Behind the Walls Ministry — a national and international prison ministry founded by former Cleveland Browns defensive end Bill Glass, a close friend of Billy Graham, who walked onto a prison yard decades ago and never stopped going back. We talk about fatherlessness as the pipeline to incarceration, why people of faith have a measurably lower recidivism rate than those without, what it looks like to go behind the walls of a supermax facility and share the gospel, and why the men on that prison yard self-police themselves on event days because they know the ministry won't come back if something goes wrong. If you want to get involved or volunteer, visit BehindTheWalls.com. Then it's Fake News Friday — real news, fake news, or really fake news — including whether Chevron gas stations in California put up signs blaming Sacramento politicians for high gas prices, a fleet of driverless Waymo vehicles getting stuck doing laps around an Atlanta cul-de-sac, a car dealership in Kansas that can't sell a truck because a robin built a legally protected nest on the tire, a Democrat running for Congress in Texas proposing concentration camps for American Zionists, a Democrat from Pennsylvania proposing mandatory vasectomies after a man's third child, and whether California's Medicaid program reimburses providers for exorcisms. We work through all of it — some will surprise you. And we close with a Memorial Day reflection — because honoring those who gave their lives for this country should not happen once a year. When you truly understand what someone sacrificed to give you something precious, you protect it every day. Bob Dylan, Norman Schwarzkopf, James Garfield, and George Patton each had something to say about that. So do we. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 21, 2026. We open with JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon's message to New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani — you can be an ideologue all you want, but at some point you have to compete, you have to produce, and you have to deliver results. We use that framework to explain exactly why democratic socialism fails every single time it is tried, why the mayor of Seattle just apologized to Starbucks after threatening to drive them out of the city, why Delaware is hemorrhaging corporate headquarters to Texas and Tennessee, and why the people left behind when productive citizens and businesses vote with their feet are always the ones who can least afford to be abandoned. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, former Cuban dictator Raul Castro has been indicted in a U.S. federal court for murder and the destruction of two private planes belonging to Cuban exile group Brothers to the Rescue, shot down over international airspace in 1996. Then Louisiana became only the second state in the country to receive the Department of Education's Returning Education to the States waiver — freeing up $18 million in federal education dollars for direct classroom use over four years, with Secretary Linda McMahon saying Louisianians know best how to serve their students, not bureaucrats in Washington. And a Canadian man living in Massachusetts has been charged with illegal voting after admitting he has voted in U.S. elections since 2008 — meaning he voted illegally in five presidential elections, including the most secure election in American history. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle whether girls are meaner to their moms than their dads — and land somewhere warm and true. We talk about the prom moment where a daughter snaps at her mother and then asks her father for a picture, the four-page love letter that same daughter wrote her mom on Mother's Day, why moms are the soft place to land which means they also absorb the worst of the shrapnel, and why one mama's daughter-in-law used to cry watching friends be rude to their mothers — because she would have given anything to have one. We dig into the Texas case of a man who ordered abortion pills online, crushed them, and mixed them into a pregnant woman's drink without her knowledge — killing her unborn child and now facing murder charges. We explain exactly why this case is the inevitable consequence of the FDA's 2023 decision to allow mifepristone to be dispensed by mail without a doctor ever seeing the patient, why this specific scenario is impossible when the drug must be administered in person by a physician, and why the FDA needs to reverse its decision immediately. In our Digging Deep segment, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney named Carmen Lineberger — who worked on Jack Smith's investigation into Donald Trump's handling of documents at Mar-a-Lago — has been indicted for stealing sealed documents from that very investigation and emailing them to herself disguised as a cookie recipe and a Bundt cake recipe. We explain what makes this story so extraordinarily revealing — a member of the team that prosecuted a president for allegedly mishandling documents allegedly stole documents herself, renamed them dessert recipes, and sent them to her personal email. We also connect her history of pro-DEI advocacy and racial justice work at the DOJ, and make the case that this is not irony — it's the deep state in action. We also cover the FBI dismantling a major Indian call center fraud scheme that stole nearly $1 million from American senior citizens — and call it exactly what it is: putting Americans first doesn't just mean border walls, it means protecting the most vulnerable of our people from predators anywhere in the world. For our Bright Spot, the state of Washington settled a lawsuit brought by foster parents Shane and Jennifer DeGross — represented by Alliance Defending Freedom — after the state denied their foster license renewal because they wouldn't affirm that children can change their biological sex. The settlement requires Washington to revise its licensing policies to respect religious families' deeply held convictions and prohibits the state from attaching conditions to a foster license based solely on religious beliefs about marriage, gender, or sexual relationships. The state also paid $250,000 in attorney's fees. We ask the question nobody at the state agency apparently asked — what is best for the children? We also cover Congresswoman Nancy Mace's proposal to ban naturalized citizens from serving in Congress — and while we understand the frustration that motivated it, we call it what it is — a law of unintended consequences that would tell millions of legal immigrants who became Americans the right way that they can never fully participate in self-government. We draw the line at dual citizenship, not at the immigrant. And we close with Lexi McClellan — a second grade teacher who took a special interest in a seven-year-old foster child named Mary, watched an adoption fall through, stepped forward with her husband to become Mary's foster parents, and filed adoption papers within months. Lexi said it felt like God had led it, like she was meant to be in her life. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Trump Goes After the Money Behind Illegal Immigration

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 20, 2026. We open with what may be the most consequential immigration enforcement move in American history — and it has nothing to do with border walls or patrol agents. President Trump signed a new executive order directing the Treasury Department to scrutinize all financial activity tied to illegal immigration — targeting payroll tax evasion, hidden bank accounts, labor trafficking networks, underground cash economies, and the remittance systems that funnel billions of American dollars back to Mexico and other countries. We explain why going after the money is more powerful than any physical barrier, why Willie Sutton's famous explanation for robbing banks applies perfectly to why illegal immigration exploded, and why choking the financial infrastructure of the entire illegal immigration machine may be Trump's most consequential domestic policy move of either term. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Thomas Massey lost his Kentucky congressional primary to former Navy SEAL Ed Gowran — in the most expensive House primary in American history at $25.6 million — after Trump endorsed Gowran and a district that voted for Trump by 85% finally ran out of patience with a congressman who spent his career blocking the agenda they elected him to advance. We note that Massey primaried himself out. Then Trump endorsed Texas AG Ken Paxton over incumbent Senator John Cornyn in a Senate runoff — and we raise the concern that while Paxton may win the primary, he may be a harder sell in the general against Democrat James Tallarico. And Alabama's gubernatorial race will be a Tuberville-Doug Jones rematch — and we think Tuberville wins easily as Kay Ivey is term limited out. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of whether women have forgotten how to age gracefully in America — from Demi Moore's skin-and-bones appearance at the Met Gala to Madonna's increasingly alarming transformations, from Lori Loughlin's well-done facelift to Helen Mirren as the gold standard of graceful aging. We also get into the GLP-1 revolution, the body positivity pendulum that swung hard in the other direction, and whether there is still room in American culture for a woman to be beautiful, powerful, and visibly her age at the same time. We play the Hakeem Jeffries clip from the Center for American Progress that should alarm every American regardless of party — the House Minority Leader saying out loud that the goal of House Democrats is not to persuade MAGA voters but to break them and break their spirit. We explain why that language is not just offensive but genuinely dangerous — because when the goal of politics shifts from persuasion to breaking half of your fellow citizens, you have crossed into territory that leads somewhere nobody should want to go. In our Digging Deep segment, the NAACP has launched a website called Out of Bounds urging black high school athletes to boycott colleges in the South — Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Clemson, Tennessee, Texas, and Texas A&M — because those states are redrawing congressional districts without race as a primary factor following the Supreme Court's ruling. We call it what it is — the NAACP demanding that 17-year-old black athletes from struggling families sacrifice life-changing scholarships for the Democrat Party's political agenda. No one's right to vote has been suppressed. Every vote still counts exactly one. The Supreme Court said you cannot draw districts based on race — and that is equal protection, not suppression. We also cover California's bizarre new rule allowing a biological female who finishes behind a transgender athlete to share the podium spot with the winner — which we describe as a participation trophy that accidentally acknowledges the injustice without having the courage to fix it. And the mother of the transgender athlete who won the race is upset about the rule. We note that the girl is the problem, apparently. For our Bright Spot, J.D. Vance filled in at the White House press briefing after the mosque attack in San Diego and was asked about religious violence in America. We play his answer in full — because it is one of the most theologically and constitutionally precise defenses of religious liberty we have heard from any public official in years. The right to find God through your own free will is the first right in the Constitution because you cannot force anyone to it. Violence against religious freedom is a violation of the laws of God, not just the laws of man. We call it a bright spot and mean it. And we close with 10-year-old Ernesto Hernandez — who wanted a 3D printer, whose mom told him to save up and buy it himself, who did chores until he had $500, bought the printer, started making keychains and fidget spinners, now runs three printers full time, is selling in local stores, and says he wants to invest in a house for his mom and him when he grows up.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 19, 2026. We open with the Iran situation from every angle — President Trump paused another planned strike at the request of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE while negotiations continue, but Iran's latest peace proposal still doesn't address the one non-negotiable point: they will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. We dig into whether this pause is genuine diplomacy or strategic deception, why Trump's unpredictability is itself a form of deterrence, why Iran is almost certainly using the ceasefire to dig out its buried missile infrastructure — essentially handing the U.S. a fresh target list — and whether the Iranian people have any realistic chance of overthrowing a regime that will shoot into a crowd to disperse it. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Trump paused a second planned attack on Iran at the request of multiple Middle Eastern heads of state while negotiations continue. Then in Los Angeles, 64-year-old Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong agreed to plead guilty to paying homeless people to register to vote at her personal address — meaning she collected their ballots and could vote them however she chose. We explain why this has nothing to do with whether homeless people can vote and everything to do with fraud. And President Trump dropped his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for a $1.7 billion anti-weaponization fund to reimburse people prosecuted for political reasons during the Biden administration — including January 6th defendants. We play a clip that the White House itself shared this week — a black woman in Cook County, Illinois at a voter board meeting who tells the panel directly that voting is not in danger, that she has voted since she was 18 without a single problem, that her parents could say the same, her grandparents could say the same, and that the constant narrative about suppressed black voters is being used to manipulate the Voting Rights Act when everyone in the room knows it isn't true. We call it one of the most clarifying moments in the entire voter ID debate. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the Unite the Kingdom March in Great Britain — described as one of the largest peacetime demonstrations in British history, with over 2 million people taking to the streets to say they want their culture, their heritage, and their country back. Prime Minister Keir Starmer branded it a march of thugs, hooligans, and far-right racists. Reporters who showed up found grandparents walking dogs. We talk about what it means when a government criminalizes its own citizens for reposting patriotic content online, why Britain's Conservative Party collapsed and gave way to the new Reform UK movement, and why this is a roadmap — not a foreign curiosity — for what can happen here. We also cover James Comey lecturing Acting AG Todd Blanche about compromising institutional integrity for suggesting there is evidence worth investigating about the 2020 election. We ask the obvious question — where was Comey's institutional integrity when he lied to the FISA court, changed the legal standard for Hillary Clinton in the middle of a press conference, and leaked classified memos to the media? In our Digging Deep segment, we take a hard look at what Lee Zeldin is doing at the EPA — and make the case that it is not only justified but overdue. The EPA was created to solve real problems — air pollution, water pollution, toxic waste — and it largely did. But then it forgot its aim and became fanatical, redoubling its efforts long after the problems were solved. We walk through the Integrated Risk Information System that set formaldehyde standards lower than what the human body naturally exhales, and explain the critical difference between hazard and risk that the EPA abandoned somewhere along the way. For our Bright Spot, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a landmark $10 million settlement with Texas Children's Hospital — which was illegally performing gender transition procedures on minors and billing Medicaid with false diagnosis codes. The settlement does more than extract a fine. It requires Texas Children's to create the first-ever detransition clinic in the United States — a multidisciplinary medical center designed to help patients reverse as much damage as possible from ideologically motivated procedures they received as children. We talk about what detransition actually looks like, why this clinic will likely become a national destination, and why it took this long. We also cover Kimberly Guilfoyle's enthusiastic promotion of the most technologically advanced McDonald's in Europe opening in Athens — and the Greek internet's very Greek response. And we close with Trinka and Mark Henderson of Gilbert Christian School in Arizona — 40 years and 18 years of teaching respectively, a combined 58 years in education, who walked into what they thought was a staff meeting and found their own retirement party. Trinka said she's had kids of kids. Mark said he'll probably be back as a substitute. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Teachers are constantly being told to move away from punitive approaches — but rarely given the actual, practical skills to replace them with. And that gap? It's leaving teachers feeling disempowered, lost, and like restorative practice just doesn't work.This episode is Claire's answer to that.She's breaking down her exact framework for helping students build real accountability after big behaviour moments — in a way that's realistic, respectful, and actually works in a real classroom.In this episode, Claire covers:Why restorative conversations alone aren't enough — and what's actually missingWhat real accountability looks like (hint: it's not a forced apology or a lunchtime detention)Her four-step framework: Regulate, Reflect, Repair, RecordRegulate — why you can't skip this step, and how to support a student's nervous system before any conversation happensReflect — getting students to genuinely understand what happened and why, using scaffolds that don't feel like an interrogationRepair — letting students choose their own pathway forward so there's real buy-in and ownershipRecord — why documentation isn't punitive, it's protective — for you and for themWhy students shut down in behaviour conversations — and how this framework changes thatThe difference between compliance and genuine change over timeResources mentioned:

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 14, 2026. We open with a statement from the NAACP Charlotte Mecklenburg branch that we believe represents peak racial politics in modern America — declaring it is, quote, seriously disturbing for white folks to be lobbying to be the interim mayor of Charlotte because the outgoing mayor is a black woman. We play it straight. We ask the question nobody wants to ask out loud — if a major civic organization had said it was disturbing for black candidates to seek a position because the outgoing officeholder was white, what would happen? We both know the answer. We also point out the obvious irony of an organization called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People lecturing anyone else about racist language. And we make the foundational argument — the moment politics stops asking who is best for the job and starts asking what color of skin should hold this seat, you are no longer operating inside the framework of equal citizenship. You are inside racial factionalism. And that is incompatible with the Declaration of Independence. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Louisiana Senator John Kennedy pushed through a rule change on a voice vote that will withhold senators' salaries the next time there is a government shutdown — a measure he first proposed during the last Democrat-caused DHS shutdown and couldn't get passed. It goes into effect after this fall's elections. Then Georgia Governor Brian Kemp called a special session to redraw the state's congressional districts — potentially adding two Republican seats — though the new maps won't take effect until 2028. And two sitting members of Congress have been missing from Washington for over a month with no explanation — Democrat Frederica Wilson of South Florida, whose staff has been recycling old photos on social media as if they were recent, and Republican Thomas Kean Jr. of New Jersey, who finally responded to Speaker Johnson's outreach by saying he was experiencing health difficulties. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a deeply personal question — when was the last time you felt euphoric? Kimberly shares the moment she was driving home from the grocery store with all her kids home and was hit by sudden joy — followed immediately by the crushing realization it was the first time she had felt that way since her mother died. Teri talks about her son getting a full ride to SMU Law School and her daughter announcing a pregnancy. And Stephen admits he can't remember the last time he felt euphoric — and explains why that's actually okay. We dig into the Supreme Court's ruling allowing mail-order chemical abortions to continue while legal challenges proceed — and make the medical case that no responsible physician should be prescribing mifepristone without seeing the patient in person. We explain the ectopic pregnancy danger in detail — how telemedicine cannot diagnose it, how the abortion pill will not resolve it, how it can cause organ rupture and sepsis, and how a young woman alone in her apartment experiencing severe complications cannot solve those problems with a Zoom call. In our Digging Deep segment, we follow two parallel fraud stories that together tell the same national story. In Minnesota, House Republicans released a report showing the Walz administration was aware of massive Medicaid fraud as early as 2019 and not only failed to act but created a culture that allowed the fraud to explode. In Florida, the founder of Health Splash was convicted for a $1 billion Medicare fraud conspiracy involving medically unnecessary orthotic braces. And in both Minnesota and California, Dr. Oz cut off 800 providers suspected of fraud — and fewer than 20 of them called to contest it. That means at least 780 were outright fraudsters. We also cover the Trump administration withholding $1.3 billion in Medicaid payments to California for failing to address the problem. We also cover the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division investigation into Yale Medical School — where black and Hispanic applicants allegedly received significantly better odds of admission than white and Asian applicants with identical academic credentials. We make the case that medicine should be the most merit-driven profession on earth, and that public suspicion about whether doctors are chosen for competence or for racial checkboxes harms everyone — including the patients they treat. For our Bright Spot, independent journalist Alex Berenson — formerly of the New York Times, banned from Twitter in 2021 at the direct pressure of the Biden administration for saying the mRNA vaccine doesn't stop infection or transmission — has won his First Amendment lawsuit and received a formal written admission from the United States government that it did in fact violate his constitutional rights by coercing social media companies to suppress his speech. He also received $150,000. We note that Pfizer executives were directly involved in pressuring the administration to silence him. And we share that AGR itself was shadow-banned and nearly removed from YouTube for saying the same things Berenson was banned for saying. And we close with Dawn Kraft who enrolled in medical school after her husband Carl survived a brain hemorrhage and they both started working on their bucket lists. This spring, Dawn graduated from St. James School of Medicine at the age of 72, becoming the oldest graduate in the school's history. She took out no loans.

If you've been doing all the “right” core exercises for your diastasis recti… but your core still feels weak, domes, bulges, or disconnected — you may be missing some major pieces of the puzzle. Because healing diastasis recti is about so much more than just strengthening your abs. In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down three often-overlooked areas that can make a huge difference in core healing: fascial and soft tissue mobility, breathwork, and rib cage mobility. We discuss why these pieces matter, how they affect pressure and core function, and why exercise alone may not fully address the problem. If you've felt frustrated by slow progress, lingering weakness, or confusion around what actually helps diastasis heal, this conversation will help you better understand what your body may truly need.   In This Episode, We Explore: What diastasis recti actually is Why strengthening alone sometimes falls short The role of fascia and soft tissue mobility in core function How breathing patterns impact pressure and healing Why rib cage mobility matters more than most women realize What true “core healing” actually looks like Common mistakes women make during recovery Why This Matters: Your core is not just muscles — it's a coordinated system involving your diaphragm, abdominal wall, pelvic floor, fascia, posture, and breath. When one part of the system is restricted or not functioning well, the body often compensates with gripping, pressure, or instability patterns that can keep women feeling stuck. This whole-body approach to healing is exactly what we focus on inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App and RESTORE, where women are guided through breathwork, mobility, strengthening, and pressure management in a way that actually supports long-term function.   ✨ Learn more here: https://balancedmomtality.com/the-app   Want a Guided Healing and Rehab Program to Help You Reconnect and RESTORE?

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 13, 2026. We open with the China story that keeps getting bigger — the day after we covered the Arcadia, California mayor who pleaded guilty to acting as a Chinese Communist Party agent, a man named Lou John Wang was convicted in New York City for operating a secret Chinese police station — kidnapping dissidents, pressuring critics of the CCP, and running what amounts to a foreign government's law enforcement operation on American soil. We connect it to Trump and Rubio's diplomatic trip to Beijing, explain what China's secret police stations actually do, and make the case that China's infiltration of American life — through supply chains, universities, real estate near military bases, and now city halls and police stations — is unlike anything any hostile nation has ever accomplished inside our borders. We ask the question every American should be asking — how much access has the Chinese Communist Party already built while we were telling ourselves economics and national security were separate conversations? In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, President Trump landed in Beijing with a delegation that included Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Wang — arriving to a red carpet welcome and plans to push for Chinese market access for U.S. businesses. Then the U.S. Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as the next chair of the Federal Reserve on a 54-45 vote — with Democrat John Fetterman the only crossover — signaling future interest rate cuts that sent equity markets surging. And Salem Communications — home to Hugh Hewitt, Joe Piscopo, Charlie Kirk, Mike Gallagher, and American Ground Radio partnerships in New York, D.C., and the Salem Podcast Network — has been acquired by Waterstone in a deal CEO David Santrella says will accelerate the company's faith-forward mission for years to come. Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to talk about country singer Eric Church's commencement speech at North Carolina — which she calls the single greatest commencement speech she has ever heard. Using the six strings of a guitar as his framework, Church walked graduates through faith as the foundational low E string, family as the A string, their life partner as the D string at the heart of the instrument, ambition and resilience on the G string, community on the B string — where he urged graduates to put down roots, volunteer, and build the thing their community needs even if the internet never sees it — and individual greatness on the high E string, the thinnest string most easily bent by outside pressure. We walk through every string and explain why this speech deserves to be heard by every graduating class in America. We dig deep into a new Harvard, Stanford, and Dartmouth report called From Learning Recession to Learning Recovery — which identifies a nationwide decline in student achievement in math and reading that began in 2013 and was just as severe before the pandemic as during it. The researchers blame social media. We disagree. We connect the timeline directly to Common Core — the untested, nationally imposed educational standards pushed by the Gates Foundation and adopted by 46 states by 2013 — that confused children, baffled parents who could no longer help with math homework, and produced exactly the results you'd expect from conducting a nationwide experiment on children with no prior testing. And we note that Louisiana — which abandoned Common Core's methodology and adopted the Science of Reading — now leads the nation in educational improvement. We also cover the DOJ's settlement with PayPal over their $530 million Economic Opportunity Fund — a 2020 program that tied eligibility explicitly to race and national origin in violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. We make the case that you cannot achieve fairness by creating an unfair system, and that civil rights laws were designed to stop discrimination — not rebrand it. We also dig into Senator Tommy Tuberville's proposal to establish English as the official language of American schools — and make the case that a shared language is not about race, it's about unity, assimilation, and the Tower of Babel. For our Bright Spot, a Marine veteran with a concealed carry permit in Massachusetts was already going car to car helping people escape and exchanging fire with an active shooter on Memorial Drive in Cambridge before police arrived. The shooter — who had previously been given half the recommended prison sentence for shooting at cops in 2020 — was stopped before anyone was killed. Nobody's covering this story. We are. We also note that Rudy Giuliani has recovered from pneumonia, left the hospital after being on a ventilator and in the ICU, and remind listeners that God is not finished with us until He says so. And we close with Logan, Cody, and Brody — three high schoolers in Cooper City, Florida who pulled over to help a man they thought had a flat tire and discovered he was having a heart attack. They called 911. Emergency crews arrived. Diego survived. His son said, God didn't send angels with wings. He sent those boys. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
