You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for February 11, 2026. 

0:30 An unprecedented national security moment at the southern border. We break down the stunning FAA decision to shut down airspace over El Paso and parts of southern New Mexico after cartel-linked drones crossed into U.S. airspace from Mexico. Commercial flights grounded, the military quietly neutralizing the threat, and comparisons to 9/11 and historic cross-border attacks raise a chilling question: was this a probe for something much bigger? From Mexican drug cartels and drone warfare to terrorism designations and the real possibility of U.S. military action, this is not routine border chaos — it’s a warning sign of escalation that could reshape border security, U.S.–Mexico relations, and America’s response to cartel terrorism.

9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. 
President Trump has sent home National Guard troops deployed to several high crime cities across America.These include Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
The FAA closed the airspace around El Paso earlier this week for an unspecified security reason.
A Grand Jury has refused to indict six Democrats who made a video encouraging members of the military to refuse orders given by President Trump.

13:00 House Republicans pass the SAVE Act—again—mandating proof of citizenship and voter ID for federal elections, and once again it heads straight for a Senate roadblock. We take aim at Democrats’ near-unanimous opposition, the handful of states that still don’t require voter ID, and the growing frustration with Senate leadership refusing to force the issue. Is verifying voters really “voter suppression,” or just common sense election integrity? 

16:00 Did you swear you’d never turn into your parents… and then realize you already have? In this American Mamas segment, Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson jump into a candid, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt conversation about parenting, boundaries, and the habits we promised ourselves we wouldn’t repeat. From “because I said so” moments and helicopter parenting to free-range childhoods, united fronts, and good cop–bad cop dynamics, the discussion hits home for moms and dads alike. It’s an honest look at generational parenting, raising kids without a blueprint, and why every parent eventually hears, “I’m never doing that with my kids”… right before they do exactly that.

23:00 A blunt warning from across the Atlantic—and a debate Americans shouldn’t ignore. We react to comments from British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who says the UK is being “colonized by immigrants” and warns you can’t sustain an economy with millions on government benefits and open borders. From eye-opening wealth comparisons between Britain and the U.S. to free speech crackdowns, mass immigration, and the failure of Europe’s multicultural experiment, the conversation draws sharp lines between border security, national identity, and economic survival. Is Britain saying out loud what many Western nations refuse to confront?

25:30 A deeper dive into the jobs numbers reveals a story the headlines missed. We break down the latest U.S. jobs report and why what’s inside the data matters more than the top-line figures. Private-sector job growth surged while government payrolls shrank to levels not seen since the 1960s, wages are once again rising faster than inflation, and native-born Americans are gaining jobs as foreign-born employment declines. From shrinking bureaucracy and “deep state” influence to AI’s impact on wages, tariffs, reshoring manufacturing, and real wage growth under Trump, this is a data-driven look at why the economy may be stronger—and more America First—than the media wants to admit.

32:30 Hollywood accounting meets hard reality. We pull back the curtain on Disney’s woke remake of Snow White and why the numbers tell a brutal story Hollywood doesn’t want you to see. Thanks to UK transparency rules, Forbes was able to expose an estimated $170 million loss—turning a beloved classic into a financial bloodbath. From sneaky studio bookkeeping and royalty checks no one can verify to audiences rejecting political lectures at the box office, the message is clear: go woke, go broke. Audiences are finally voting with their wallets.

35:30 A shocking civics failure inside a state legislature sparks a much bigger debate. We react to a North Carolina sheriff who couldn’t identify the basic branches of government during a legislative hearing tied to a deadly crime—and why that moment exposes a deeper problem in American leadership. The conversation turns to Congressman Wesley Hunt’s proposal to require members of Congress to pass a basic civics test, similar to the citizenship exam. From constitutional ignorance and oath-taking to accountability for elected officials, this is a blunt discussion about why you shouldn’t hold power if you don’t understand the Constitution—and why civic literacy may be the missing safeguard in American government.

39:30 A Team USA bobsled athlete and U.S. Air Force airman Jasmine Jones' pride in representing her country stands in sharp contrast to athletes who criticize America on the world stage. Her words about service, sacrifice, and honor strike a powerful chord—showing what it really means to wear “USA” across your chest. 

41:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about how the country actually works.
