You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 24, 2026.

We open with the results of New York City's Democratic primaries — and what they mean for the entire country. Nine incumbent Democrats were voted out across New York State in favor of more radical candidates, with Mamdani-backed democratic socialists winning clean sweeps in three congressional districts. Claire Valdez, who wants to abolish ICE, demilitarize police, end the Israeli military occupation of Gaza, and impose a wealth tax, won the 7th Congressional District. Brad Lander beat a two-term congressman in the 10th. Daria Laza Avila Chevalier — who once posted that America is an effing disgrace and wiped her hands on the flag instead of getting a napkin — won the 13th. We make the case this is not a fringe movement anymore. The Democratic Socialists of America are doubling their block in Congress, they have labelled the Democratic Party itself as center-right, and New York Republican Party Chairman Ed Cox said it plainly — the DSA is no longer a faction within the Democrat Party. It is the Democrat Party in New York.

In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the DOJ announced the largest combined federal and state healthcare fraud enforcement action in U.S. history — 455 people charged across 45 states for $6.5 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare programs. Then Mamdani's three hand-picked candidates swept the New York City congressional primaries — with President Trump congratulating Mamdani in a move we explain was pure trolling, tying together the rise of the communist left and the media that celebrates it in a single sarcastic statement. And the gunman who opened fire on an ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas last Fourth of July was sentenced to 100 years in prison, with his accomplices receiving 30 to 70 years — which is exactly how you deal with terrorism.

Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson take on the question of whether toxic men or toxic women are doing more damage to the country right now — prompted by a viral psychiatrist who went on record saying women are destroying America. Teri and Kimberly push back on the broadness of that claim while acknowledging the phenomenon of toxic femininity — the unrelenting rage they see at protests, on social media, and in the halls of Congress — and the faux feminists who scream about the MeToo movement right up until the Democrat Senate candidate with the SS tattoo needs their support.

We cover British World Cup fans going viral with apologies to America — one fan posting that his country owes America a huge apology because America is nothing like the media told them. We note that the U.S. built zero new stadiums for this World Cup because we already had them — unlike Qatar, Brazil, South Africa, and Russia who built new stadiums. We connect it to the broader point: there is an entire ecosystem internationally and domestically that profits from portraying America in the worst possible light, because if people actually saw what capitalism produces, they would reject the socialism being sold to them.

In our Digging Deep segment, it turns out the Biden administration ran its own version of Fast and Furious — not with guns this time, but with fentanyl. DEA Special Agent David Howell, a 14-year agency veteran, has filed a whistleblower complaint alleging that the DEA and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Albuquerque deliberately allowed more than one million fentanyl pills to flow onto the streets of New Mexico — including individual shipments of 150,000 and 50,000 pills — in hopes of making bigger arrests that never came. When Howell blew the whistle, the Biden DOJ sidelined him and barred him from testifying in any cases. We ask the obvious question — doesn't a government that breaks the law, gets people killed, then silences the patriots who call it out sound exactly like a communist government?

We also cover the Department of Justice threatening to sue California over its planned July 1st ban on Glock handguns, with Assistant AG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon telling Governor Newsom and AG Rob Bonta to drop the unconstitutional restriction or face federal litigation. We explain why the Second Amendment is not a suggestion and why the courts have been moving toward stricter enforcement of Second Amendment protections in recent years.

For our Bright Spot, Kansas City, Missouri had to cancel its free bus program after six years because it ran out of money — with costs nearly doubling from the projected $8.8 million to over $15 million annually, while riders and drivers described the buses as unreliable, filthy, rolling homeless shelters. We call the failure a bright spot — because if any other city in America looks at this story and decides not to try it, including New York City where Mamdani has promised free buses for every New Yorker, then this expensive lesson will have saved someone else from an even more expensive one. That's what socialism always does — increases costs, increases misery, and eventually runs out of money.

We also note that President Trump's approval rating has spiked to 47% in the latest Daily Mail poll — driven largely by his push toward de-escalation and agreement with Iran — and discuss what comes next.

And we close with Dylan Munaki, who was diagnosed with stage four kidney cancer at 14 and given eight months to live. His doctor, Dr. Mary Austin, promised that if he beat his cancer, she would come to his graduation. After 52 weeks of chemotherapy, Dylan was declared cancer-free. Dr. Austin took a job 1,500 miles away in Seattle. She kept her promise.

May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
