France Protests

American Mamas - Proud to be White

Where is Talarico? 

Fake News Friday

Mike Ditka

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 9, 2026. 

We open with a hard look at the unrest in France, where student protests over overcrowded classrooms and crumbling schools have turned into burning cars, injured police officers, and thousands of arrests. We ask what separates legitimate protest from a breakdown of law and order, and what the United States should take from it about immigration, assimilation, and national identity.

In the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we cover President Trump’s announcement of a deal with Russia to ship diesel to the U.S., and what it could mean for fuel prices and for critics on the left. We also cover the ICE shooting of a man in New York City who allegedly tried to ram officers with his car, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s failed push to have him released and ICE removed from the city. Third, Trump has named a new White House press secretary.

After the break, we bring you a first-world problem: a $5 million lawsuit over Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins that don’t have a jack-o’-lantern face carved into them. Then it’s time for American Mamas, where Teri Netterville joins us to answer whether she’s proud to be white. We get into a viral video, the pressure young people feel, and where pride ends and shame begins.

On Columbus Day, we ask why celebrating a historical achievement has become something to apologize for, and whether we can honor what deserves honoring while learning from what went wrong. Then we dig deep into the Texas Senate race and the 13-day absence of Democratic candidate James Talarico, whom his campaign says had the flu. We look at why voters are skeptical, how politicians have handled health disclosures in the past, and what honesty from candidates should look like.

Next, we revisit Cassidy Hutchinson’s January 6th committee testimony about the presidential SUV, and what it means when sensational secondhand claims reach the public before they’ve been checked. Then it’s Fake News Friday, as we sort real news from fake news from really fake news, from hurricanes and daylight saving time to a human-versus-robot fight in California. We also look at what President Trump’s packed campaign schedule says about leaving it all on the field before the midterms. We close with a tribute to Mike Ditka, “Da Coach,” who passed away this week at 86.
