You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 11, 2025.  0:30 Today we take a look atyet another glaring example of two-tier justice in America — after a federal grand jury in Virginia declined, for the second time, to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage fraud allegations. We walk through how James built her entire political brand on accusing Donald Trump and his family of fraud, running explicitly on the promise to “get Trump.” But when she herself is accused of misrepresenting property information to secure financial benefits, the legal system suddenly hesitates. Standards soften. Intent becomes “unclear.” Evidence is “open to interpretation.” 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics release a report this week saying that for the fifth straight month, increases in wages have outpaced inflation. The House of Representatives passed the Defense Authorization Act. The court fight over Illegal alien and alleged human trafficker Kilmar Abrego-Garcia continues. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

After scrapping third-party fact checkers and the COVID-era censorship apparatus, Meta suddenly says it’s doing better. But were these simple “mistakes" or intentional acts of censorship, carried out under pressure from the Biden administration, where true information was labeled misinformation and users were silenced on purpose? Call it enforcement if you want — just don’t call it accidental. 15:30 American Mamas Teri Nettervile and Kimberly Burelson tackle a question that hits a cultural nerve: should a woman ever propose to a man — especially if he hasn’t done it himself? Using a viral video of a woman proposing after 14 years of dating as the jumping-off point, the conversation turns blunt, emotional, and unapologetically traditional. Their take is clear: if a man hasn’t proposed after years together, it’s not hesitation — it’s a decision. They argue that public proposals by women often flip natural dynamics, leaving the woman looking desperate and the man embarrassed, and point out that nearly every example online shows visible discomfort rather than romance.  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 22:30 AOC brands herself as the champion of the working class — railing against capitalism, wealth, and privilege — but new campaign spending tells a different story. Records show tens of thousands of donor dollars spent in Puerto Rico on luxury venues and high-end accommodations, all framed as “social justice.” 26:00 We break down the strategic showdown unfolding in the Caribbean — and it’s not an invasion, it’s pressure. Despite media speculation about war with Venezuela, Trump is doing the opposite of Iraq-style nation-building, opting instead for maximum force short of boots on the ground.  From drug boats being seized and destroyed on the high seas to a sanctioned Venezuelan oil tanker taken by U.S. forces, this is a deliberate chokehold on Maduro’s funding streams. Drug trafficking, illegal oil shipments, shadow fleets — all of it bankrolls a corrupt regime propped up by repression and bribes. Cut the money, and the regime collapses from the inside. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

Wewalk through his cultural importance — the post-Carson era, the Letterman-Leno wars, and how an entire generation grew up on his humor — before contrasting that version of Letterman with the man who recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel. 35:30 We zeroe in on Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s Senate run in Texas and what we see as a self-inflicted implosion. Wewith her on-air claim that Democrats don’t incite violence — daring anyone to find clips proving otherwise — and argue she dramatically underestimated how easy that challenge would be. Enter the RNC, which responds with a rapid-fire montage of prominent Democrats using explicitly violent rhetoric, from calls for unrest in the streets to threats of physical harm. It's a brutal receipts moment, made worse when the compilation turns back on Crockett herself, highlighting multiple clips of her talking about punching opponents, knocking people out, and “beating you down.” 39:30 Gavin Newsom released an AI-generated video depicting President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and senior White House official Stephen Miller in handcuffs under the caption “It’s cuffing season.” This isn’t satire or clever political mockery — it’s outright disrespect from a sitting governor toward the commander in chief, with no explanation of what crime is supposedly being implied. And we're saying, "Whoa." 

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 10, 2025.  0:30 We break down a constitutional clash unfolding in California that’s turning into a full-on spectacle. After a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to stop deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles — effectively handing control back to Governor Gavin Newsom —we dig into why something that should be straightforward has spiraled into a legal and political firestorm. From the judge positioning himself as the ultimate authority, to the governor sidestepping federal power, to the administration pointing directly to the Constitution’s text, it’s clear no one agrees on who’s actually in charge. The Constitution says the president commands the Guard when it’s federalized, states insist on their autonomy, and now the judiciary is trying to referee a fight it was never meant to enter. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Voters in Miami elected Democrat Eileen Higgins to be the next mayor of that city. Democrats in the House of Representatives have filed articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. and Sec. of War Pete Hegseth. The Federal Reserve voted to lower interest rates again today. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We dig into a revealing moment in Texas politics — Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett launching a Senate run while dramatically misreading the state she wants to win. After citing questionable demographic statistics and insisting Texas is “61% people of color,” the conversation unpacks how the left selectively redefines racial categories to fit political narratives, and why the entire “person of color” framing has become more performative than meaningful. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a deceptively simple listener question with surprisingly deep cultural roots: what’s your opinion on stay-at-home dads? What starts as a lighthearted conversation quickly opens up into a bigger debate about masculinity, work ethic, and the expectations men and women now bring into modern family life. After reacting to a viral video featuring a husband who refuses to work while his wife juggles multiple jobs, the Mamas unpack why this hit such a nerve. Is it the fallout of the “toxic masculinity” narrative? The rise of soft men who avoid responsibility? Or a cultural moment that tells women they don’t need men while simultaneously expecting men to still be protectors, providers, and anchors in the home? The conversation touches on everything from the decline of physical labor, to generational softness shaped by gaming culture, to the instinctive drive many men feel to defend their families the moment they become fathers.

After new reports show that eight in ten Somali refugee households in Minneapolis rely on welfare, we unpack what this means for taxpayers, for the state’s political landscape, and for the country as a whole.  26:00 We dive into a jaw-dropping youth football scandal that quickly turns into a much bigger conversation about culture, accountability, and what happens when adults stop teaching kids right from wrong. After eight players from a Philadelphia U14 team were arrested in Florida for trying to steal nearly $2,300 worth of merchandise from a Dick’s Sporting Goods, the story took an even stranger turn — their own coach begged deputies to let them go.  We unpack the surveillance footage, the attempted shoplifting spree, and the boys’ apparent expectation that nothing would happen to them — an expectation shaped by what’s become normal in cities with lax enforcement. We compare Sheriff Grady Judd’s firm response in Polk County to the hands-off approach often seen in places like Philadelphia, exploring how wildly different attitudes toward crime create wildly different outcomes. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down a high-stakes international showdown involving an oil tanker, U.S. national security, and Donald Trump’s latest move against the cartels. After the United States seized its largest Venezuelan tanker ever, we unpack why this wasn’t just a maritime paperwork dispute — it was part of a sprawling illicit network that, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi, was helping fund foreign terrorist organizations. 35:30 We cover a Bright Spot out of Texas Tech University, where the battle over woke ideology is finally hitting a real turning point. After years of DEI dogma creeping into classrooms—even out in West Texas—the state cracked down, banning DEI, white-privilege instruction, and ideology-based prejudice by law. And now Texas Tech has a chancellor who actually intends to enforce it: Brandon Creighton, the very lawmaker who wrote the anti-DEI legislation in the first place.  39:30 We tackle one of the wildest twists in Trump-era immigration policy yet: the rollout of the Trump Gold Card—a fast-track residency program with a price tag big enough to make a tech billionaire blink. After joking about never getting credit card offers anymore, they dive into Trump’s new three-tiered system that essentially says: if you want into America quickly, you can pay for the privilege.  41:00 And we finish off with a Christmas delivery that will make you say, "Whoa!" 

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 10, 2025.  0:30 We dig into what might be the political and economic turning point of our generation — the moment tariffs go from heresy to orthodoxy inside the Republican Party. For decades, the conservative establishment worshiped at the altar of free trade. Tariffs were the villain, protectionism was a dirty word, and anyone who questioned NAFTA got sent to the kids’ table. Not anymore. With new polling showing a full revolt inside the GOP — two-thirds of Republicans now wanting tariffs kept where they are or pushed even higher — we break down how Trump didn’t just shift the debate… he blew up the old economic playbook entirely.  9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  The ban on transgender members of the US Military is constitutional. That's the ruling of the US Appeals court for the District of Columbia. 12 fired FBI agents are suing the Trump Administration to get their jobs back. Two courts have now agreed to unseal several documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. 12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We break down a move from the Trump administration that has the media scrambling for cover: a brand-new public database from DHS called WOW — Worst of the Worst — a tool that finally exposes what legacy outlets have spent years trying to bury. For the first time, any American can pull up the rap sheets of criminal illegal aliens arrested and removed by ICE, cutting straight through the spin, the soft-pedaled headlines, and the endless attempts to pretend this problem doesn’t exist. We get into why the rollout is brilliant, how it undercuts the press narrative that ICE “only” targets harmless offenders, and why transparency like this terrifies the same institutions that have been whitewashing the consequences of illegal immigration for decades. But we also ask the tough question: if the media refuses to cover it, and most Americans never see it, how far does a database like this really go? 16:00 Today the American Mamas take on a question that hits every family sooner or later — and hits hard: What’s tougher? Losing a parent suddenly, or watching them fade slowly over time? It’s one of those raw, real-life dilemmas that doesn’t have an easy answer, but Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson go straight into it with honesty, humor, and the kind of lived experience you only get the hard way. From the shock of quick goodbyes to the long heartbreak of Alzheimer’s, from feeling helpless when distance keeps you away to witnessing the moment a parent realizes their body can’t do what their mind still thinks it can — the Mamas walk through the pain, the gratitude, the guilt, the grace, and even the unexpected moments of laughter that come with loving someone through their final chapter. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We get into a rare kind of headline — a move from one of America’s top business leaders that cuts completely against the gloomy narrative we’re all used to hearing. Michael Dell and his wife are dropping an eye-popping $6 billion to help kids open savings accounts under the new Trump-era “Trump Accounts” program, a donation so massive it’s forcing people to rethink what private generosity can actually do. 26:00 We dig into a story out of Massachusetts that’s lighting up both the pews and the comment sections: a Catholic parish swapping the Christ child out of its nativity scene and replacing Him with a sign that reads “ICE was here.” It’s the latest attempt to turn the Gospel into a campaign billboard — and the blowback isn’t subtle. The Archbishop has ordered it taken down. The pastor is refusing. And the national debate over immigration has now landed squarely in the manger.  We break down why the comparison itself collapses on contact with the facts — from the legal status of Mary and Joseph under Roman rule, to the census that brought them to Bethlehem, to the actual historical context of the Holy Family’s flight into Egypt. We walk through how this narrative twist isn’t just sloppy theology, but a deliberate bending of Scripture to score political points, and why that crosses a line the Church itself has long warned against. We get into what the Catechism really says about immigration, why order and legality are central Catholic teachings, and how misrepresenting the nativity story for modern activism turns sacred history into propaganda. And we ask the harder question: if religious leaders start rewriting the Gospel to fit the politics of the moment, what does that do to trust, to doctrine, and to the faithful who expect the truth from their shepherds? 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down a story out of the New York Times that perfectly illustrates the disconnect between political theater and actual accomplishment: Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly plans to have a marble bust of herself installed in the U.S. Capitol. We dive into the optics — a self-proclaimed historical figure immortalized in stone — and the reality behind the pomp. We explore the context of Harris’s claim, the timing of the interview, and the ongoing speculation about 2028. And we ask the bigger question: what does it say about leadership when a career politician’s “legacy” is measured by statues and media headlines rather than tangible policy achievements? 35:30 We take listeners down a rabbit hole most Americans never explore: state mottos. Every state has one — some even have two — and many date back centuries. We break down the surprising number of mottos that reference God, from Arizona’s “God enriches” to Ohio’s “With God all things are possible,” highlighting the enduring role of faith in the foundation of our states. We also explore mottos rooted in liberty and freedom: New Hampshire’s “Live Free or Die,” Massachusetts’ “By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty,” and Delaware’s “Liberty and Independence.” The discussion points to a broader principle: our rights don’t come from bureaucrats, governors, or Washington politicians — they come from Almighty God, the ultimate antidote to tyranny. 39:30 We cut straight to the point on a simple truth about America: if you’re not happy here, get out. Drawing from personal experience, we highlight the story of families who came to this country chasing the American dream — moving from poverty to prosperity in a single generation — and who loved this country with every fiber of their being. If you came here seeking opportunity and blessings and you don’t appreciate them, it’s time to move on. No hostility, no resentment — just a clear reminder that America thrives when its people value what it offers. 41:30 And we finish off with a story about accountability, intervention, and life-changing moments.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 8, 2025.  0:30 We get into a constitutional showdown that cuts right to the bone of American power — not just trade policy, but the question of who actually runs the country. With President Trump urging the Supreme Court to uphold his emergency tariff authority, we break down why this case isn’t some dry legal dispute, but a hinge moment for the entire republic. If the justices strip the president of the ability to hit hostile nations with swift economic pressure, America walks into the world stage handcuffed — with military force as its only leverage. But if the Court sides with the president, it reaffirms the very core of national sovereignty. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  The Department of Homeland Security announced they have found 62,000 immigrant children who had gone missing during the Biden Administration.  Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is running for Senate in Texas.  Paramount is trying to take over Netflix's takeover of Warner Brothers.  12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We dive into the latest ideological curveball out of New York City, where the incoming socialist mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, is suddenly promising sweeping, pro–small business reforms — at least on paper. Cutting taxes, slashing fees and fines by 50%, speeding up permits, even creating a “mom-and-pop czar” to bulldoze red tape. Sounds great, right? Maybe a little too great. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that hits right at the heart of the season: what’s the best way to give at Christmastime? And their answers go way beyond the glossy charity commercials and big-name nonprofits. From real-time giving where you see a need and fill it on the spot, to the quiet, behind-the-scenes acts of service that make a community run, the Mamas lay out the kinds of generosity that really matter — the kind that isn’t swallowed up by million-dollar CEO salaries or bloated overhead.  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 This story takes us to Ireland, where one priest is saying the quiet part out loud — and saying it every single Sunday. Father Brendan Kilcoin, an Irish Catholic priest, isn’t tiptoeing, isn’t hedging, isn’t hiding behind vague language. He’s warning his country that Ireland isn’t simply drifting from Christianity… it’s being pulled apart from both ends. On one side, aggressive secularism. On the other, mass immigration from cultures shaped not by the Gospels, but by entirely different religious traditions. And Father Kilcoin isn’t offering the kind of soft, non-committal commentary you usually hear from clergy. He’s calling for something bolder — legal immigration, yes, but explicitly Christian immigration. Not to shock, not to provoke, but because he believes Ireland is losing the very foundation that once held its culture together. 26:00 We Dig Deep into a new Harvard–HarrisX poll — yes, that Harvard–HarrisX, the one that’s been off by five, sometimes ten points to the left for three straight election cycles — and even they can’t hide what voters are saying. Strip the Trump name off the policies, and suddenly Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of every major plank the president is pushing. Border security, deporting illegal immigrants — even all illegal immigrants — tariffs, military action against cartels, banning men from women’s sports, ending racial preferences, freezing foreign aid, the whole thing. Policy after policy, Americans are on board. And yet? The same voters give Trump middling approval numbers. We break down how the media machine, the “no-kings” narrative, and years of Trump-is-Hitler hysteria have created a bizarre split-brain politics where people love the ideas but think they’re supposed to hate the guy proposing them. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down a story most media outlets won’t touch: the growing pressure campaign against crisis pregnancy centers — the very places research shows could have changed everything for the 60% of women who say they would’ve chosen life if they’d had just a little more support. Instead of helping these centers do exactly that, states like New Jersey are trying to force them to hand over their donor lists, despite admitting they had zero complaints, zero evidence of wrongdoing, and were basically on a political fishing expedition. 35:30 In a rare moment of Hollywood clarity, Jennifer Lawrence just told The New York Times something you almost never hear from an A-list celebrity: she’s stepping back from politics — not because she’s changed her mind, but because she finally realizes her opinions don’t change elections… they just pour gasoline on a country already split down the middle. We dive into the audio, break down Lawrence’s surprisingly grounded admission, and spotlight her warning that celebrity activism can actually damage careers, alienate half an audience, and even contribute to political hostility.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 5, 2025.  0:30 We break down a moment that’s quietly shaking the political world — a Christmas message from President Trump that critics and supporters alike weren’t expecting. Standing before the National Christmas Tree, Trump delivered a line that hit with the weight of history: with the birth of Jesus, “human history turned from night to day.” No politics, no polling, no spin — just a call to love one another, serve one another, and remember that every child is made in the image of God. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Thing You Need to Know. The US Supreme Court announced they will hear a challenge to President Trump's executive order denying birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens. A federal grand jury refused to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud this week. Netflix is buying Warner Brothers Discovery. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We dig into a stunning new revelation that the media would’ve once treated like a five-alarm fire — but now barely whispers about. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has reviewed just a slice of America’s voter rolls, and what she found is jaw-dropping: hundreds of thousands of dead voters still listed as active, thousands of non-citizens registered for federal elections, and more than a dozen states fighting tooth-and-nail to block transparency. We walk through the numbers, the lawsuits, and the obvious question no newsroom seems interested in asking: why would any state hide its voter data unless there was something to hide? From “most secure election in history” to the growing evidence that the system is riddled with cracks, we break down how fraud becomes a feature — not a glitch — and why trust in elections keeps eroding. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson take on a question a lot of families have quietly wondered: why aren’t people doing obituaries anymore? From the rising cost of funerals to the decline of newspapers, from social media replacing the old morning paper to families choosing simplicity over tradition, the Mamas dig into what’s changing — and what might be getting lost. They talk about how obituaries once anchored local communities, how funerals serve the living more than the dead, and how skipping those rituals leaves a hole many people don’t realize is there until it’s gone. With personal stories, sharp humor, and a whole lot of heart, the Mamas break down how our culture handles loss, why those final tributes still matter, and why even in a digital age, remembering someone shouldn’t disappear. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We wade into a scandal brewing out of Minnesota — a jaw-dropping scheme where Somali fraud rings siphoned off millions in taxpayer funds meant to feed hungry children, and where, according to new reports, some of that stolen cash ended up flowing straight into Democrat campaign coffers. From Ilhan Omar’s backyard to Attorney General Keith Ellison’s campaign account, we break down how a billion-dollar fraud operation slipped past state officials, how fake nonprofits claimed to feed thousands of kids a day from buildings with no kitchens, and how money funneled through Minnesota wound up in Somalia — and potentially in the hands of Al Shabaab. 26:00 We Dig Deep a headline that sounds almost too wild to be true: did Donald Trump accidentally save the American AI industry from being overtaken by China? According to Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang — one of the most influential figures in tech — the answer is yes. Not because Trump set out to rescue AI, but because he unleashed U.S. energy production with “drill baby drill,” giving America the massive, continuous power supply that AI absolutely devours. From Goldman Sachs warning that AI energy use could explode 160% by decade’s end, to data centers now drawing power like mid-sized cities, we break down why reliable energy isn’t just an economic issue — it’s national security. And we walk through the near-miss that almost kneecapped the entire industry: a last-minute Biden-era “AI diffusion rule” that Trump killed before it could take effect. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dig into a stunning move from New York’s mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani — a promise to end homeless encampment sweeps the moment he takes office. In a city once called America’s crown jewel, the new plan means police won’t be allowed to clear tents from sidewalks, parks, or even Times Square. Instead, the mayor says the answer is “connecting people with housing”… even as the real crisis is addiction, mental illness, and a system that can’t compel anyone to get help. From cities like Portland and San Francisco collapsing under the same policies — more crime, more overdoses, more fires, more chaos — we lay out the hard truth: ignoring encampments doesn’t solve homelessness, it supercharges it. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From CNN fumbling pipe-bomb speculation and climate-change studies collapsing under their own bogus math, to FIFA surprising everyone with a Peace Prize to Chuck Schumer taking a theatrical dive worthy of the World Cup, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We tackle what can only be described as a constitutional earthquake — the Supreme Court’s decision to take up Donald Trump’s challenge to birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders.  41:30 And we end today's show with the 21st amendment that was ratified 92 years ago and ended prohibition.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio  

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 4, 2025.  0:30 Do you ever stop and think about what America used to be like? A country where political disagreements didn’t come packaged with threats, bankruptcies, mobs, and blacklists. From Reagan’s America to even Bill Clinton’s America, the conversation turns to how radically the tone has shifted under Obama and Biden. That sets the stage for the day’s story: Rep. Ilhan Omar launching a new boycott campaign — “We Ain’t Buying It” — aimed squarely at companies that work with the Trump administration. We unpack her loaded language: businesses must “pay a costly price” and she calls on supporters to use “every leverage” in their “arsenal.” We compare that rhetoric to historical patterns — from the French Revolution to Mao’s Red Guards to the Weather Underground — where phrases like “pay a heavy price” were precursors to coercion, destruction, and political violence. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  More than four years after it happened, the FBI has finally made an arrest in the January 6th Pipe Bomb case. A new report out says there has been widespread fraud in Obamacare Subsidies. Two more Afghani immigrants to the US have been arrested on terrorism charges. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 AT&T just joined the growing list of major corporations ditching their DEI programs — and we aren’t shedding a tear. We break down how deeply AT&T had plunged into the ideology, pushing training that claimed racism was a “uniquely white trait,” a stance that is not only absurd but openly discriminatory. From African ethnic conflicts to Imperial Japan’s belief in racial superiority, we point out the obvious: bigotry has never been exclusive to any one group. 16:00 The American Mamas dive into the big headline of the week: Michael and Susan Dell dropping a jaw-dropping $6.25 billion into Trump’s new children’s savings account program. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson break down why this move could change the future for millions of kids, why early business education matters, and why generosity like this sparks both inspiration and outrage.  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 For the fourth month in a row, housing costs in America are falling — and the reason why has the left fuming. We break down how deporting two million illegal immigrants and ending mass releases at the border is reshaping the housing market. J.D. Vance calls the connection “clear as day,” and the numbers back him up. It’s simple economics, not politics — supply, demand, and what happens when you stop overwhelming the system. Common sense? Absolutely. Controversial? You bet. 25:00 The fatal flaw of socialism isn’t just that it has always failed — it’s that it can never succeed. We break down why “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” works inside a loving family… but collapses the moment it’s applied to millions of imperfect human beings. Socialism demands angelic selflessness from everyone, all the time. Capitalism? It only requires people not to be outright monsters — a bar most folks can clear most of the time. From human nature to the Pilgrims to New Yorkers honking on the freeway, we dig deep into why socialism always slides into coercion, why capitalism aligns with reality, and why any system that relies on perfect people is doomed. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dive into a bombshell claim making waves: an internal FDA letter that critics say proves what they’ve been warning about for years — that young Americans were pushed into COVID shots they never needed, and that the government never wanted anyone questioning it. From vaccine mandates to college campuses, from “follow the science” to full-blown censorship, we walk back through how debate got shut down, how experts were elevated to unquestionable status, and how anyone who raised concerns — parents, doctors, journalists — was labeled a conspiracy theorist. 35:30 There’s finally a bright spot out of North Carolina this week—one that could change the game on violent repeat offenders. After months of shootings, releases, and a justice system that kept turning the same people back onto the streets, something different just happened in Charlotte. An 18-year-old—arrested multiple times for firing into homes—was picked up again. But this time? He didn’t walk free. His bond: $5.3 million. What changed? A brand-new law that just went into effect, born from a tragedy that never should have happened. And for the first time in a long time, it looks like consequences are finally catching up to the people who’ve been terrorizing innocent families. 40:00 And then there’s Mariah Carey—yes, the Christmas queen herself—making headlines again, but not for the song you’ve already heard 500 times this month. Over the summer, she showed up at an event in the U.K. wearing a glitter-bombed, rhinestone jacket that read “Protect the Dolls.” Now? She’s putting that jacket up for auction. And the cause it supports has a very specific mission: pushing more gender ideology into mainstream entertainment. So while everyone else is cueing up her Christmas tracks, she’s using her platform to bankroll something very different. And honestly… that deserves a big “whoa.” 41:30 And finally, a story that’ll restore a little of your faith in humanity. A first-year teacher in Virginia nearly lost her life after choking in front of her class—but three of her first graders jumped into action like seasoned pros.  These kids didn’t panic—they became heroes. And their teacher says, “They 100% saved my life.” Now that’s the kind of story we need more of.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 3, 2025.  0:30 President Trump just killed Biden’s CAFE standards— and the auto world is cheering. Today we break down how one move out of Washington could mean cheaper cars, more choices, and a little relief for America’s working families. Why were automakers smiling in the Oval Office? And why were Biden’s rules quietly driving car prices into the stratosphere? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Republican Matt Van Epps is heading to Congress. President Trump pardoned Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar this week. Former special council Jack Smith has been subpoenaed in relation to his election-related investigation of Donald Trump.  12:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 When the left runs out of arguments, they grab the same old playbook—cry “Hitler!” and hope nobody notices the logic falling apart. Today we break down the latest example out of Minneapolis, where a city council member compared ICE officers checking immigration documents to Nazi Germany. We dig into why this argument collapses on contact with reality, why every civilized nation on earth enforces immigration law, and why the left refuses to call illegal immigration what it is. 15:30 A preacher steps into the pulpit in upstate New York… and announces he’s transitioning. The congregation is stunned, the sermon turns into a therapy session, and suddenly the focus is everything but the Bible. So what do the American Mamas think when a pastor uses Sunday morning to talk sexual identity and politics instead of scripture? Terry and Kimberly jump in with their own church experiences, the fallout from Methodist splits, and why so many people are tired of pastors turning sermons into social-issue spotlights. 23:00 When a member of Congress claims that “Black and brown voters belong to her,” we dive into why that kind of rhetoric isn’t just politically toxic—it’s morally backwards. Is America really heading toward a future run on racial math instead of individual merit? And what happens to the dream of a colorblind society when politicians double down on identity politics just to win an election? 26:00 Thomas Jefferson warned us back in 1781 — and today, it looks like his prediction has come true. We unpack Jefferson’s concerns about importing large groups from nations with corrupt or authoritarian governments and how those political habits can follow them into America. Fast-forward to modern Minneapolis, where the mass resettlement of Somali immigrants has led to fraud investigations, missing government funds, and even money funneled to Al-Shabaab. From ghost employees in Somalia to billions in questionable payments in Minnesota, we're seeing the reality that Jefferson warned us about so long ago —  immigration only works when newcomers join American society, not when they bring dysfunctional systems with them. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 California’s at it again — and this time Gavin Newsom is floating a “retroactive” billionaire tax that would hit anyone worth over a billion dollars based on their wealth from the year before the tax even exists. We break down how California is trying to chase down its shrinking tax base, whether a state can legally tax people who no longer live there, and why high-rollers keep packing their U-Hauls for places like Texas. 35:30 With more Americans questioning whether college is worth the price tag, one major tech company is stepping in with a very different solution. Palantir’s new “Meritocracy Fellowship” tells high-school graduates to skip the debt, skip the indoctrination, and jump straight into real-world work. We dig deep into how Palantir is offering intense training in Western civilization, hands-on engineering assignments for U.S. government clients, and real pay — all without a four-year degree.  40:00 Are good manners suddenly “sexist”? We dive into the simple act of holding the door — and why something as basic as courtesy has somehow become controversial. We break down what chivalry actually means, why respect has nothing to do with weakness, and how common kindness still surprises visitors to the American South. 41:30 We finish off with a kind stranger who returned a lost wallet and really showed that the Christmas spirit is alive and well.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 2, 2025.  0:30 President Trump has just pulled off what may be the boldest constitutional power play in modern history—nullifying every executive order, proclamation, and pardon stamped with Joe Biden’s auto-pen. With one move, Trump flips the script and forces Democrats into a corner: if they want those Biden-era actions back—like Fauci’s pardon—they’ll have to sue him and testify under oath about Biden’s actual mental capacity. It’s shrewd. It’s historic. And it puts the whole auto-pen scandal center stage. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  The Trump Administration fired 8 immigration judges in New York City this week. Costco has filed a lawsuit seeking to be reimbursed for tariffs. One third of the commercial Drivers licenses issued by the state of Minnesota to foreign citizens was illegal and violated federal law. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Why does the word socialism sound so warm and friendly—when the system itself is anything but? We break down how the Left sells “social justice” and “social programs” with feel-good language, while real human connection gets replaced with government control. And why, in the end, the most “social” system might actually be capitalism. 16:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are furious with CNN after their son, Dylan, went on air and got absolutely schooled by Scott Jennings. Now the Hollywood power couple is blaming the network. We ask the American Mamas if they have a right to be upset with CNN for “setting him up to fail.” The Mamas ask a simple question: He’s 25… so who really set him up? We get into NEPO babies, media bubbles, and what happens when activism meets actual debate. Tune in—this conversation gets real. 23:00 Today we’re getting into mindsets—prosperity versus poverty—and why President Trump’s new “Trump accounts” are lighting a fire under the private sector. Michael and Susan Dell just dropped a staggering $6 billion to seed investment accounts for millions of American kids, and it’s sparking a bigger conversation: What happens when real innovators—not Washington—decide to bet on the next generation? We break down the difference between handouts and true investment, the power of compound growth, and why this is prosperity thinking in action. 26:00 We break down the left’s latest outrage—accusing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth of war crimes after the U.S. Navy took out a cartel-run drug boat in the Caribbean. The media is pushing a narrative that doesn’t even match its own reporting, and we’re unpacking every contradiction. We dig into President Trump’s Day One executive order labeling violent drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, the legal authority behind military action on the high seas, and why the AUMF from 2001 still matters today. Plus, we look at the staggering reality: drug cartels are killing the equivalent of 30 9/11s every year through narcotics flowing into America—yet some politicians are more upset about taking out cartel operatives than stopping the carnage. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We take a break from the heavy headlines to highlight just how far the American media has fallen—courtesy of The Washington Post, which decided the burning issue of our time is… bored pets. Yep. Front-page analysis on your cat’s emotional frustration while the country faces real crises.  35:30 We dive into a major move from Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, who’s announcing a full review of USDA programs to ensure benefits go only to U.S. citizens. Some call it common sense. Others call it controversial. We break down the clash: taxpayer dollars, strained safety nets, and the growing fight between states and the federal government over who gets what—and who pays for it. We're cutting through the noise, pushing past the political spin to get to the heart of the issue: limited resources, runaway costs, and a national conversation that’s quickly shifting from compassion to crisis. 39:30 A new poll shows Americans are turning on the idea of a four-year degree—only 33% now say college is worth the price tag. What happened? Higher education is losing its shine, from sky-high tuition fueled by government subsidies to campuses that feel more political than practical. People are looking at the cost compared to what they can make, and they're saying, "whoa."

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 1, 2025.  0:30 A National Guard patrol near the White House… an ambush no one saw coming… and a tragedy that never should have happened. We break down the shocking attack that claimed the life of 20-year-old Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and left another Guardsman fighting for his life — and the explosive questions now being asked about failed vetting, failed leadership, and a government that put politics ahead of protection. How did an unvetted Afghan national end up in Washington, D.C.? Why were warnings ignored? And how did rhetoric from Washington’s own leaders help create a dangerous climate for our men and women in uniform? We dive into the policy failures, the predictable consequences, and the growing demand for accountability. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  One of the National Guardsmen shot in Washington D.C. last week died from her injuries. Alina Habba cannot serve as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey. Between 150 and 200 people blocked ICE agents from making a series of arrests in New York City over the weekend. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 Donald Trump asked a question most politicians would never dare say out loud: “Am I going to heaven?” We dig into the moment that surprised supporters, critics — and maybe even Trump himself. What does it mean when a president openly wonders about eternity? What does Scripture actually say about heaven, salvation, and “being good enough”? And is the real question about Trump… or about all of us? 16:00 Ever meet someone and feel that instant spark—not romance, but that “friendship at first sight” connection? The American Mamas dive into why that happens and what it says about us. From being truly listened to, to recognizing the “light givers” in a room, Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson share funny, heartfelt stories about connection, intuition, and the people who make us feel seen. A sweet, spirited look at why some strangers just feel like instant friends. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 22:30 Is Senator Mark Kelly really in danger— or is this just political theater cranked up to eleven? We break down Kelly’s claim that President Trump “threatened to kill him” and why that accusation falls apart fast.  26:00 Black Friday was booming, Cyber Monday is shaping up to smash records… but behind the holiday shopping frenzy, there’s a warning parents can’t ignore. A new report flags AI-powered kids’ toys that don’t just talk—they listen, track, record, and sometimes spit out wildly inappropriate advice. From privacy risks to safety concerns that sound straight out of a sci-fi thriller, we dig into what’s really hiding inside those “smart” toys on the shelf. It’s eye-opening, a little unsettling, and a reminder that not every shiny new gadget belongs under the tree. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Democrats demanded President Trump release his MRI results—pounding the table, insisting he must be hiding something. Well… he released it. And the results? Let’s just say they weren’t what his critics were hoping for. We break down why the left keeps projecting their own Biden-era coverups onto Trump, how this MRI stunt backfired spectacularly, and what it says about the political instinct to assume the worst. 35:30 We talk a lot about what it really means to be pro-life—and this new report on America’s pregnancy centers is a reminder that it’s so much bigger than politics. These centers are helping moms, dads, and babies in ways the headlines never mention… supporting a record number of families last year. We break down the numbers, the compassion behind the work, and the court battles that could decide their future.  40:00 A new DHS report drops a bombshell: New York City is knowingly harboring thousands of criminal illegal aliens—over 7,000 of them. No arrests, no cooperation, just a sanctuary system shielding people who’ve committed crimes against Americans. At this point, we've got to say, "Whoa."  41:30 And we finish off with a tragedy that turned into a blessing.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio  

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for November 26, 2025.  0:30 We break down the situation unfolding in Portland, Oregon. The state’s attorney general is threatening to prosecute federal agents for enforcing federal law on federal property, even as Antifa-aligned mobs wreak havoc in Portland. It’s a political standoff turning into a constitutional showdown, raising big questions about the Supremacy Clause, federal authority, and what happens when states decide they can overrule Washington. This one’s not just messy—it’s dangerous. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Two National Guardsmen were shot while deployed in Washington D.C. today. The last election interference case filed against President Trump has now been dismissed. Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced she will not be seeking a 4th term in office next year. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Two National Guardsmen—American heroes—were shot and critically injured while serving their country in Washington, D.C. Vice President JD Vance says we pray they’re home with their families by Thanksgiving. And while it shouldn’t be political to support our Guard, our military, our first responders… something about this shooting feels different. Feels intentional. Feels targeted. Maybe we’re wrong—God willing, we are—but every instinct says this wasn’t random. What we do know is simple: America doesn’t turn its back on its heroes. We lift them up. We stand with them. And right now, we pray for these guardsmen and the families waiting for them to come home. 16:00 Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now? Believe it or not, that’s the latest trend on social media—young influencers claiming relationships feel “too Republican.” American Mamas Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson jump in with both feet, asking why Gen Z is suddenly acting like commitment is cringe, joy is optional, and loneliness is some kind of virtue signal.  From the data showing married women and men are far happier, to the cultural push telling young people they “don’t need anyone,” the Mamas break down what’s real, what’s nonsense, and why purpose—and yes, love—still matter.  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We’re talking about something Washington forgot a long time ago: the American spirit isn’t passive—it doesn’t retreat, it doesn’t flinch, and it sure doesn’t surrender a single inch of our cities to chaos.After two National Guardsmen were shot in D.C., President Trump didn’t wring his hands or hide behind caution tape—he immediately ordered Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to deploy 500 more Guardsmen to the capital. But while Trump stands firm, America’s big-city Democrats have gotten used to surrender—accepting crime, excusing violence, normalizing failure. And now they’re furious that someone is finally saying “No more.” 26:30 Trust in the media just hit rock bottom—Gallup shows only 28% of Americans believe the news is fair, and among Republicans? A jaw-dropping 8%. And this week, the media proved exactly why. MSNOW ran a sensational “scoop” claiming President Trump was preparing to fire FBI Director Kash Patel. Anonymous sources, dramatic language—classic beltway gossip. Only one problem: it was completely fake. But this isn’t AI gone rogue. This is the media and deep-state leakers pumping out story after story, knowing the algorithms will blast it to millions before the truth catches up. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dig into new poll showing a majority of voters under 40 backing a democratic socialist for president — and the wild part? Many say the biggest influence wasn’t TikTok… it was their parents and grandparents. We get into how we drifted this far, why Reagan warned us this would happen, and how a generation got talked into believing socialism is just “sharing.”  36:00 We’re talking planes, pajamas, and personal standards — all sparked by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s call for Americans to step it up when they fly. From the viral chaos in airplane aisles to the growing trend of slippers-in-the-supermarket, we dig into what happened to basic manners, why dressing well changes how we act, and whether a little self-respect could make travel (and everything else) a whole lot better. 39:30 If you’re listening on podcast — Salem Podcast Network, Apple, Spotify, anywhere you get your shows — head over to AmericanGroundRadio.com because we’ve got a brand-new content up for Thanksgiving, and it hits at the heart of what we talk about all the time. This isn’t just turkey, travel, and family gatherings. This is about identity — who we are as Americans, what our Founders intended Thanksgiving to remind us of, and why gratitude is a force that holds nations together. 41:30 And we finish off with a bus driver who will make you say, "Whoa."       

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 25, 2025.  0:30 A Florida Democrat in Congress is in hot water after her company asked for $50,000 in COVID relief…and the federal government accidentally dropped $5 million into her account. Instead of reporting it, she allegedly kept it, bought a three-carat diamond ring, and even funneled some of the cash into her own campaign. Now she’s facing federal charges, and for once, accountability might actually be landing inside the Democratic Party. But will justice stick, or will politics bail her out—again? 10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Current US Senator Tommy Tuberville has announced he plans on running for Governor of Alabama next year since current Governor, Kay Ivey is term limited out of office. A judge in Minnesota has overturned a jury's guilty verdict in the massive fraud case against Abdifatah Yusuf. West Virginia Senator Jim Justice has agreed to pay more than $5 million in back taxes to the IRS. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Despite all the doom-and-gloom headlines about how “the economy is struggling” and “Americans can’t afford anything,” shoppers are about to blow past last year’s spending. The National Retail Federation says Americans are on track to drop over $1 trillion between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday—up from $970 billion last year. And no, that jump can’t be blamed on inflation alone. People are actually choosing to spend more. 15:30 Who hosts Thanksgiving in your family? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the holiday chaos — last-minute plan changes, split gatherings, fried turkey, and even a legendary high-heel touchdown during family flag football. Plus, the sweet stories, the cooking disasters, and the grandmothers who made it all look effortless. It’s a warm, funny look at how families really decide where Thanksgiving happens… and why sometimes the only thing that truly matters is who’s making the stuffing. 23:00 Is the media stirring up chaos again? We call out the networks pushing shaky narratives, unpack why these reports don’t add up, and talk about how some outlets seem more interested in undermining the administration than informing the public. 26:00 Elon Musk just dropped a simple new Twitter feature — and it’s blowing the lid off armies of fake “MAGA” accounts that were never American at all. We’re talking trolls from Bangladesh, Eastern Europe, Africa, all posing as Trump supporters and stirring up chaos inside the movement. Now, with one click on “About This Account,” users are exposing them left and right. What did this reveal, how deep does the deception go, and what does it mean for the infighting we’ve seen online?  32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Trump derangement syndrome has officially gone professional. This week, even the architect working on the White House remodel is under fire. Not a politician, not an adviser — an architect. Members of the American Institute of Architects are suddenly questioning his ethics, his permits, his historical paperwork… all because he took a job for President Trump. Never mind that the White House has been renovated, rebuilt, and reimagined by countless architects under past administrations with zero drama. Now? They want this guy’s license. We break down the latest example of how no one around Trump is considered “safe” anymore — not even the guy holding the blueprints. 35:00 A new YouGov Thanksgiving poll is out, and it’s serving up some surprising numbers along with the turkey. Most Americans are gearing up to spend the holiday with family — and most aren’t expecting a political brawl at the dinner table. But the real twist? Democrats are more than twice as likely as Republicans to brace for a fight. We break down what the data says about gratitude, identity, and why some families head into Thanksgiving ready to give thanks… while others show up ready for round one. 40:00 Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona woke up to find some of his private texts leaked all over the place. And in those messages, he absolutely torched his own party, complaining that Democrats “don’t let men be men or women be hot,” before dropping the now-infamous line: Dem women look like dem men, and dem men look like women. Democrats are saying, "Whoa."  41:30 And we finish off with President Trump's pardon of the turkeys for Thanksgiving. 

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 25, 2025.  0:30 Anthropic—the company behind Claude, one of the most advanced AI systems on the planet—just dropped a bombshell: a Chinese state-sponsored group hijacked a modified version of their tech and used it to launch what may be the first actual large-scale cyber-espionage campaign run almost entirely by AI. We're breaking down how Anthropic eventually shut it down—but they had to tell our government, not the other way around. Meanwhile the CIA, NSA, FBI—agencies with budgets bigger than entire countries—were too busy chasing political vendettas to notice an AI-driven cyber breach unfolding under their noses. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has resigned from Congress. A federal Judge dismissed the indictments against both former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James. Texas' Redistricting Map has been reinstated by the US Supreme Court. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We take a look at the situation unfolding in Italy. The Italian Interior Ministry revealed that foreign nationals make up only 9% of Italy’s population… but nearly HALF of all sexual-violence arrests. The problem? Refusal to assimilate.  16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the rising trend of the so-called “gray divorce”—why longtime couples in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s are suddenly calling it quits after decades together. From Oprah’s town hall to real-life stories of retirement shock, infidelity, complacency, and even the unexpected role of the little blue pill, the Mamas break down why so many marriages are unraveling late in life. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We unpack the situation in Chicago Public Schools where fewer than one-third of students can read at grade level, but district officials somehow found $14 million to blow on luxury trips, hotel suites, and feel-good “leadership retreats.”  26:00 We Dig Deep into a jaw-dropping City Journal piece that pulls back the curtain on repeat offenders and the revolving door justice system enabling them. We walk through the wild case of Sergio Highland — a convicted killer turned “prison reform activist” — who posed with a Soros-backed DA one day and was charged with murder again the next. We dig into why crime in America is driven by a small group of chronic offenders — and why locking up the worst of the worst isn’t harsh, it’s common sense. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down a brand-new YouGov poll that shows Democrats got absolutely steamrolled in the latest government shutdown showdown. Only 8% of Americans think Democrats “won” the fight, a number so low it’s practically a political face-plant. Even Democrats themselves admit the GOP came out ahead. 35:30 Plus, the University of Notre Dame makes it's Catholic mission clear, and that's a Bright Spot. We dive into last week’s dust-up at the University of Notre Dame, after an official article outlined the school’s “refreshed values” — community, collaboration, excellence, innovation — but made no explicit mention of the university’s historic Catholic identity. The university clarified and re-emphasized its core purpose, updating the mission language to put its Catholic identity at the top: “Be the leading Catholic research university… be a force for good.” 40:30 We’re talking about the sanctity of life from beginning to natural end. And then we pivot to a jaw-dropping move out of Scotland, where lawmakers are opening the door to assisted suicide with virtually no safeguards. Amendments to protect young people, the disabled, those vulnerable to coercion, or even individuals battling temporary depression? All rejected. Just tossed aside, and we're saying, "Whoa."  41:30 And we finish off today's show with some words of wisdom about purpose.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio  

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 21, 2025.  0:30 We break down the remarkable shift in tone from New York City’s mayor-elect, Zoran Mamdani—the same man who once railed against ICE as a “rogue” and “fascist” agency, vowed to resist deportations, and gave that fiery, chest-thumping election-night speech aimed squarely at Donald Trump. But when Mamdani stepped into the Oval Office, all that bravado evaporated. Instead of the angry revolutionary from election night, he appeared quiet, almost timid. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  For the first time, members of the domestic terrorist organization ANTIFA have been convicted on terrorism charges. Congressman Eric Swalwell announced he's running for Governor of California. The Democratic National Committee took out $15 million in loans last month in a push to get more Democrats elected to office. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We dive into the latest Capitol Hill spectacle featuring Representative Jasmine Crockett—who, according to the hosts, came out swinging but ended up hitting her own team in the face. Crockett boldly attempted to expose what she claimed was a Republican “double standard” on ties to Jeffrey Epstein, rattling off names from Mitt Romney to George Bush. There’s just one tiny problem: Crockett’s list wasn’t tied to that Jeffrey Epstein. Her staff had pulled donations from a completely different man with the same name—a New York physician, not the infamous convicted sex offender. 16:00 American Mamas—Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson—tackle a listener question that hits close to home: Can someone actually develop a sense of humor, or is it one of those things you’re either born with or you’re not? They talk about growing up in a home where wit, timing, and thick skin were the daily curriculum. The Mamas break down the difference between natural comedic instinct and the kind of humor that feels forced or lands sideways. Good comedy, they say, comes from intelligence, self-awareness, and a lot of practice. People who never learned how to kid around often end up sounding mean instead of funny, because they never figured out where the line is—or how not to cross it. For the Mamas, humor is a muscle: start young, poke fun, take a joke, laugh at yourself, and raise kids who can do the same. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 22:30 We dive into the shocking story out of Chicago—a woman set on fire on a train by a man with 49 prior arrests. And while the city is reeling, Mayor Brandon Johnson insists it’s just an “isolated incident.” We break down why this is anything but isolated, how repeat offenders are cycling through the system again and again, and what happens when politicians downplay the very real danger everyday Americans face on buses, trains, and city streets. This is a conversation about public safety, accountability, and a justice system that’s failing the people it’s supposed to protect. 26:00 We Dig Deep into President Trump’s newly unveiled 28-point peace plan for Ukraine—a proposal that’s already sending shockwaves through Kyiv, Moscow, and across Europe. Zelensky is warning Ukrainians that they now face a “very difficult choice,” while Putin is calling the plan a “starting point.” We get into what the proposal actually calls for: territorial compromises, security guarantees, restrictions on NATO expansion, frozen Russian assets being used to rebuild Ukraine, and even a fast-tracked Ukrainian election. We dig into the tough reality on the ground, why the West’s patience is wearing thin, and whether this plan is realism, capitulation, or the only path to ending a grinding war that Ukraine is slowly losing. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dive into a rare moment that has the accountability crowd perking up: the case of Pras Michel—the Grammy-winning member of the Fugees—who’s now staring down 14 years in federal prison for funneling foreign money into Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign. Yep, the same crowd that lectures America about “protecting democracy” was raking in tens of millions from overseas, and the media once called that campaign the “gold standard of ethics.” We break down what Pras did, why this scandal is bigger than the headlines admit, and how it exposes years of Democrat projection on election interference. If you’ve ever wondered whether anyone in Washington ever faces consequences, this is one story you’ll want to hear. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? This week’s lineup has everything: Democrats refusing to denounce socialism, a member of Congress texting a convicted pedophile during a hearing, a child molester running for mayor, and even a federal judge blocking efforts to clean Washington, D.C. buildings. We’ve also got fake impeachments, fake hate crimes, and—believe it or not—raccoons that scientists say are actually getting cuter. Strap in, because we’re sorting the real news from the really fake news, and the results are… well, let’s just say the truth is stranger than fiction. Can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio.  40:00 Let’s talk about the attempted assassination of President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, because the official line from the FBI is that Thomas Crooks was a lone gunman. Case closed, move along. But a lot of people aren’t buying that. While Washington is telling everyone, “Nothing to see here,” the public is looking at this thing thinking… "Whoa."  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 20, 2025.  0:30 We are sounding the alarm because six Democratic members of Congress put out a video telling U.S. service members they can “refuse illegal orders.” That may sound fine on this surface, but this video isn’t about law at all. It’s about planting the idea that orders from President Trump himself are somehow optional. We break down what the Constitution says about following the president's orders and how this video is just another attempt to delegitimize President Trump.  9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  According to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US Economy added 119,000 jobs in September. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has put a halt to a new California law that would have required companies all across the country to post on their website all of their carbon emissions.  Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has been indicted for campaign finance fraud. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 The discussion of the "refuse illegal orders" video continues, and we're calling out the Democrats' hypocrisy. The Democrats want to label January 6th an “insurrection,” but that label is far more fitting for the video that these six Democratic lawmakers put out. And isn't funny that these lawmakers never identify any supposed unlawful orders? This isn't harmless political theater.  16:00 The American Mamas tackle a difficult listener question: When a couple divorces, should they tell the kids if infidelity was involved? Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson explore different perspectives on honesty, timing, protecting children, and how to handle complicated situations when emotions are high. The conversation highlights how every family’s circumstances are different — and why compassion and careful communication matter. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We react to Senator Bernie Moreno's claim that "the American dream is dead." While the last four years under Biden were undeniably brutal for working families, America’s promise isn’t gone—just bruised by bad policy.  25:30 We Dig Deep into a jaw-dropping investigation out of Minnesota that traces massive state-funded fraud back to the wave of Somali refugees resettled during the Obama administration. We walk listeners through explosive reporting from City Journal showing how tens of millions—eventually hundreds of millions—of taxpayer dollars from housing and autism-related programs were siphoned off through fake clients, fake services, and kickback schemes run predominantly by individuals tied to the Somali refugee community in Minneapolis. The numbers are staggering: programs that were supposed to cost a couple million ballooning to over $100 million… autism funding exploding from $3 million to $399 million… and remittances being funneled overseas at such scale that U.S. Somali residents send more money abroad than Somalia’s entire national budget. And the part that stops everyone in their tracks? DOJ tracing significant chunks of that money straight into the accounts of terrorist group Al-Shabaab—leading to the chilling conclusion that Minnesota taxpayers have become the largest funders of Al-Shabaab. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:00 We break down how, throughout history, communist regimes have always feared religion—not because prayer is dangerous, but because faith gives people something the state can’t tolerate: hope, identity, and loyalty that doesn’t flow through government power. It's no coincidence that Zoran Mamdani said that no issue is too small for the government to meddle in. The lefts wants the government to become like God.  35:30 Plus, Thanksgiving dinner is actually getting cheaper this year, and that's a Bright Spot. We break down the newest numbers from the American Farm Bureau and talk about what the drop in costs says about affordability, the economy, and why it’s a bright spot worth celebrating.  40:00 We dive into Megan Rapinoe’s latest comments on transgender athletes in women’s sports—and, yes, her unexpected comparison involving Landon Donovan’s hairline. According to Rapinoe, men in women's supports is comparable to a coach wearing a hearpiece. Her argument has us saying, "Whoa."  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 19, 2025.  0:30 We walk through one of Donald Trump’s most brilliant strategic maneuvers—one the media will never credit him for and Democrats will swear was pure coincidence. Trump didn’t demand the release of the Epstein files, didn’t beat the drum, didn’t turn it into a rally chant. He hesitated just enough to send Democrats into full Trump-Derangement overdrive, convincing themselves they were “standing up” to him. And in that frenzy, Democrats in the House voted unanimously to release documents that could expose their own donors, their own Hollywood friends, and, as newly revealed, even their own party leader, Hakeem Jeffries. 9:30 Plus we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer has announced he's running for Governor of California next year. The Department of Homeland Security has issued a Civil Emergency for Broadview, Illinois where pro-illegal alien activists have been rioting outside of an ICE facility.  Federal Judge Orlando L. Garcia is ordering teachers in Texas to remove posters displaying the 10 Commandments from classrooms across the state. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 Even in Congress there are still supposed to be some basic standards of conduct, especially when you’re representing the United States abroad. Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to restore that sense of honor. After an alcohol-related incident during an official trip to Mexico Rep. Dan Crenshaw from Texas, has been banned from international travel for three months.   16:00 The American Mamas tackle a difficult listener question: When a couple divorces, should they tell the kids if infidelity was involved? Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson explore different perspectives on honesty, timing, protecting children, and how to handle complicated situations when emotions are high. The conversation highlights how every family’s circumstances are different — and why compassion and careful communication matter. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 22:30 We dive into the surprising public reunion between Elon Musk and former President Trump, reacting to their renewed friendliness and the buzz surrounding it. 25:00 We Dig Deep into President Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education—and how Education Secretary Linda McMahon is quietly making it happen piece by piece. Instead of just flipping off the lights and walking away, McMahon is moving programs into agencies where they actually make sense. We're walking you through why the Department of Education never lived up to its mission, how test scores have slid since its creation in 1979, and why so many states and parents want control returned to the local level. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We dive into the growing national uproar over the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny as the next Super Bowl halftime performer—months before the game even kicks off. We break down comments from Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, and we debate whether Bad Bunny is even on the same level as past performers. 35:30 Plus, Warren Buffet's annual Berkshire Hathaway letter is a real Bright Spot.  At 95, Buffett shares lessons that go beyond money. He reminds us to forgive ourselves for past mistakes, choose the best role models, and to live a life that you can be proud of. Work harder on yourself than on your job, because greatness isn’t about money, fame, or power—it’s about helping others. And the kicker? Kindness is costless—but priceless. Greatness comes from the way you treat people, not how much you earn or the headlines you make. Buffett’s advice is simple, timeless, and actionable. 40:00 We break down Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s recent comments about President Trump and his supporters, calling them “a cult” and questioning why anyone would back him. She seems to completely misunderstand what they stand for, and that's okay. Confidence and conviction matter, and you can’t let critics or mockery shake you from standing firm in your beliefs. But if anybody votes for Jasmine Crockett, we're saying, "whoa."  41:30 And we finish off with one of the most famous speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address.   

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for November 18, 2025.  0:30 We break down a major federal court decision with sweeping implications for the Constitution and the balance of power between states and Washington. A federal judge has dismissed the Department of Justice’s challenge to New York’s law blocking federal immigration agents from making arrests inside state courthouses—raising an urgent question: Can a state legally obstruct the enforcement of federal law? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Mohammed Bin Salman arrived in Washington D.C. today for a state visit at the White House.The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia came to the US to finalize several trade deals with the Trump administration. A judge in Tennessee has ruled the Governor of the state does not have the legal right or power to deploy the National Guard to fight crime in the state. A three judge panel has ruled that Texas' newly redrawn congressional districts are unconstitutional because they were racially gerrymandered. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We take a look at a growing internal revolt inside the Democratic Party—one that could spell the end of Chuck Schumer’s leadership. Schumer is being pushed out by a party base that has moved far to the left of him. With Senator Cory Booker publicly framing Schumer’s generation of Democrats as the past, we break down what that political language really signals: an impending transfer of power. 16:00 We ask the American Mamas what happened to Marjorie Taylor Greene. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the sudden and dramatic shift in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s public persona—why she’s showing up on left-wing media, apologizing on CNN, clashing with fellow MAGA Republicans, and now openly feuding with President Trump himself. From her failed push to oust Speaker Mike Johnson to her sharp turn toward “unity” messaging, the mamas sort through the contradictions and speculate about the ambition, pressure, and possible political maneuvering behind it all. They also explore why so many once-rising conservative stars—from Dan Crenshaw to MTG—seem to lose their footing in Washington, and whether a shaky ideological foundation makes politicians vulnerable to shifting with the political winds. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We react to Northwestern University’s newest “well-being initiative”: a free vending machine stocked with everything from Narcan and fentanyl test strips to condoms and Plan B. By placing life-saving tools, basic necessities, and abortion-inducing medication side-by-side—accessible at the push of a button—the university is sending a troubling moral message: that all choices carry the same weight and all consequences can be conveniently erased. 26:30 We tackle an unexpected moment of honesty from longtime media insider Fareed Zakaria. Despite his résumé across some of the nation’s most left-leaning outlets, Zakaria used his CNN platform to spotlight a politically inconvenient truth: America’s affordability crisis is overwhelmingly concentrated in places governed by Democrats. We Dig Deep into into why policies in deep-blue states like New York and California consistently deliver higher costs and poorer outcomes, even as voters continue re-electing the same leaders. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We talk about the misnamed Affordable Care Act that has made healthcare less affordable by adding layers of bureaucracy. Costs could be lowered through greater price transparency from hospitals and clinics, and by eliminating “concierge” health insurance that covers routine, guaranteed services like checkups. Instead, insurance should function like car or home insurance—covering unexpected, high-cost events, not routine maintenance. 35:30 Plus, Nicki Minaj publicly supported President Trump’s comments about global Christian persecution, and that's a Bright Spot. Though known for explicit music and public feuds, Minaj identifies as a Christian, and Christianity is about grace, not perfection. After Minaj reposted Trump’s message, UN Ambassador Mike Walz invited her to speak at the United Nations, where she thanked Trump for drawing attention to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.  40:00 After years of positioning herself as one of Trump's strongest allies, Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling Trump a "traitor." She's leaning into fringe conspiracy theories like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson with their theories about Charlie Kirk. At some point, we just have to say, "Whoa."  41:30 And we finish off with a day in 1883 that changed the way we keep time.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 17, 2025.  0:30 We dive into President Trump’s newly floated idea of a $2,000 “tariff dividend” for Americans earning under $100,000—and the heated debate it’s sparked. We break down the real numbers behind U.S. tariff revenues, the crushing weight of a $38 trillion national debt, and why handing out checks may feel good politically but won’t fix decades of fiscal irresponsibility. We explore who this proposal is aimed at, the working-class voters both parties are fighting to win back, and whether this is genuine relief or just another election-year strategy.  9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  The Federal Aviation Administration lifted all restrictions on flights, airlines and airports over the weekend that were put in place during the Government Lockdown. Interim Director of FEMA David Richardson resigned Monday morning. Democrat Senator John Fetterman released a picture of himself on social media over the weekend, showing the bruising and scarring on his face after he took a fall on Friday. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We break down President Trump’s call for a full, no-holds-barred congressional vote to release every remaining Epstein file—and why the timing matters. We discuss Democrats’ attempts to weaponize selectively released emails, the media’s eagerness to push a narrative, and why even those emails ultimately undercut the left’s accusations rather than support them. The hosts explore Trump’s reasoning for demanding total transparency, including his belief that dragging out the Epstein saga has become yet another political distraction—“Russia hoax 3.0”—aimed at diverting voters from Democratic failures on the border, inflation, and public safety.  16:30 American Mamas respond to a listener’s question: “Why are you enforcing your beauty standards on Black women and forcing them to straighten their hair?” The discussion centers on recent comments from former First Lady Michelle Obama, who suggested at a public event that Black women often straighten their hair to conform to white beauty standards. The Mamas question whether hair maintenance is a racial issue or something all women deal with. And they point out that Michelle Obama has the right and platform to wear her hair however she wants, noting that she's been highly praised by media and public audiences.  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Under Trump, the U.S. didn’t enter any new wars—unlike past administrations that oversaw conflicts in Iraq, Libya, and beyond. Trump’s foreign-policy wins, from the historic Abraham Accords to renewed regional cooperation in the Middle East, even citing Kazakhstan’s recent involvement as a sign of growing diplomatic momentum. 24:00 We sit down with three special guests from Ukraine—Alla Yatsentsuk, her son Daniello, and advocate Katya Pavlich—to share a firsthand account of Russia’s forced deportation of Ukrainian children. Alla recounts the terrifying moment Russian forces occupied her city and ordered children, including her 12-year-old son, to attend a so-called “rest camp” in Crimea. When the children weren’t returned, Alla learned the truth: the Russians had no intention of sending them home. With the help of the organizationSave Ukraine, Alla embarked on a months-long, near-impossible journey to retrieve her child—navigating destroyed infrastructure, occupied territory, and deliberate obstruction from Russian forces. Daniello was one of the fortunate ones. Thousands of Ukrainian children are still missing, with fewer than 2,000 returned out of nearly 20,000 known abductions. Katya, representing Razom for Ukraine, explains how her organization is working to support hospitals, strengthen civil society, combat Russian disinformation, and advocate for abducted children on the world stage. She emphasizes a shared American and Ukrainian value: children are never bargaining chips. Visit razomforukraine.org to learn more.  32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We break down fresh speculation surrounding Senator Ted Cruz and the possibility of a 2028 presidential run. Known for being anything but subtle, Cruz is doing little to quiet the rumors—allowing buzz about his intentions to build. We discuss Cruz’s political instincts, noting he has long kept one eye on his future ambitions. But whether he should run is another question. With JD Vance widely seen as the strongest Republican contender for 2028, we weigh whether Cruz would strengthen or divide the party. 36:00 Plus, Republican states stand by Biblical, pro-life values after the Dobbs decision, and that's a Bright Spot. We break down a new report from Americans United for Life ranking the most—and least—pro-life states in the country. With the Dobbs decision returning the issue to the states, the AUL assessment goes beyond abortion to examine each state's protections for life from conception to natural death, including bioethics, end-of-life care, conscience protections, and the legal status of the unborn. Their findings reveal a stark divide: the top 10 pro-life states—led by Arkansas, Louisiana, and Indiana—are overwhelmingly Republican, while the 10 least protective states, from Oregon to New Mexico, are all governed by Democrats. Stephen and Lewis argue this split highlights the deepest cultural divide in America today. 40:00 We unpack the escalating feud between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and President Trump—a clash that finally erupted publicly over the weekend. Greene’s new slogan, “America First, America Only,” and her attacks on Trump over Israel policy and the Epstein files sparked a forceful response from the former president, who labeled her a “lightweight,” a “traitor,” and even a RINO. Right now Republuicans could be winning everything, but we're attacking one another instead. We've gotta say, "Whoa."  41:30 And we finish off with Michelle and Vaughn Pohl, a couple who decided who nearly doubled the size of their family when they decided to adopt four children in need. When the family's car broke down, and Secret Santa stepped in to help the family showing that the Christmas Spirit is alive and well.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 14, 2025.  0:30 We dig into a surprising new analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco that challenges decades of economic dogma. For nearly a century, experts have insisted that tariffs raise prices and cripple economies—but a 150-year review of data from the U.S., UK, and France shows the opposite. We break down how tariffs can lower prices, strengthen domestic manufacturing, reduce foreign dependency, and expose the myths that fueled the rise of global competitors like China. And we look at how new trade deals and shifting economic power are reshaping American industry in real time. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  The Prosecution against President Trump from Georgia will move forward with Peter Skandalakis as the prosecutor.  California Congressman Eric Swalwell, who previously was accused of having an affair with a Chinese spy, is now accused of falsifying loans.  Democrat Jared Golden of Maine announced this week he won't be seeking reelection to Congress. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We break down the debate over H-1B visas, fraud in the system, and the growing rift inside the Republican Party over immigration and specialized labor. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s proposal to cap visas and crack down on abuse faces pushback after President Trump argues that certain specialized skills simply don’t exist in sufficient numbers here at home. We explore why most H-1B visas aren’t going to top-tier engineers, how major tech and outsourcing firms have become the biggest beneficiaries, and why national security concerns are now shaping the conversation about who should—or shouldn’t—be filling America’s most sensitive industrial and defense roles. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the backlash surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s latest film, Christie—a biopic about 1990s boxer Christy Martin—and why the movie world has turned on one of its brightest young stars. Despite keeping her politics private, Sweeney has been labeled “problematic” after reports surfaced that she’s a registered Republican. Now, after the film’s disappointing box office debut, some in the industry are blaming her for its performance.We explore the double standard in Hollywood—how major flops from firmly left-leaning stars barely make a ripple, while Sweeney’s misstep draws vitriol from actors like Ruby Rose. We also highlight Christy Martin’s heartfelt defense of Sweeney, pushing back against claims that she “ruined” the film. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 22:00 We break down the economic pressures shaping young voters—and how those frustrations helped propel Zoran Mamdani to victory in New York City. We examine the growing resentment around rent, wages, and soaring personal debt, including the staggering $1.2 trillion in U.S. credit card balances. 24:30 We Dig Deep into a new Gallup report showing one of the sharpest drops in religiosity anywhere in the world—and what that means for America’s future.We break down the 17-point decline in Americans who say faith is an important part of daily life, and why the Founders believed a moral and religious people were essential to preserving freedom. We look at how this vacuum of belief is being filled—not by God, but by government. From New York City’s Zoran Mamdani declaring that no problem is too big for government to solve, to the rise of political and ideological substitutes for religion, misplaced faith in bureaucracy threatens liberty itself. 31:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:00 We break down a sprawling, mob-linked sports betting ring that stretched across college campuses and pulled in student-athletes. We discuss how the explosion of legalized sports gambling, combined with the massive money flowing through today’s NIL era, has created fertile ground for corruption and chaos. From point-shaving schemes to young athletes being pressured by organized crime, we look at how institutions once built on discipline and merit have drifted into moral relativism and cash-driven incentives. And as New Jersey authorities uncover a multi-million-dollar criminal pipeline tied to college programs, the warning signs are getting harder to ignore. 35:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From TSA bonuses and collapsing bridges, to chart-topping AI-generated music, Tiktok scandals, and even Tucker Carlson's interview with Bigfoot, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio.  39:00 We take a look at the Democratic National Committee’s latest internal drama: staffers being ordered back to the office after years of remote work. Long-distance governing may have contributed to the party’s recent missteps, but they aren't too happy about returning to the office and we're saying, "Whoa."  41: And we finish off with a young man with integrity. After turning in some lost cash, he was rewarded with a job.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio  

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 13, 2025. 0:30 We break down the Department of Justice’s stunning lawsuit against the state of California over Proposition 50, a ballot initiative that rewrote the state’s congressional maps with blatant, unapologetic racial gerrymandering. With the balance of power in Congress potentially shifting by as many as nine seats, this isn’t just about California. It’s about the future of the Voting Rights Act, the limits of racial considerations in mapmaking, and whether the Constitution still draws the lines… or the politicians do. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  President Trump signed a bill ending the federal Government shutdown. Democrat Katie Wilson defeated incumbent Democrat Bruce Harrell to become the next mayor of Seattle. The former Chief of Staff for California Governor Gavin Newsom was just arrested as part of a federal corruption investigation. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 California is back in the headlines — and not for anything resembling sanity. We break down the explosive revelation that the California DMV handed out more than 17,000 commercial trucking licenses to foreign nationals, including illegal aliens with no work permits, no legal status, and in many cases, no ability to read or speak English. What should be a safety-first agency has been weaponized into a sanctuary institution, prioritizing politics over public safety. We dive into how this reckless licensing spree undermines trained American truckers, destabilizes one of the most regulated industries in the nation, and endangers everyone on the road. 16:00 We ask American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — what they think about the viral confrontation between singer Tish Hyman and California congressional candidate Scott Weiner. After a fully intact biological male entered the women’s locker room at her San Francisco gym, Hyman — a Black lesbian and longtime Democrat voter — confronted Wiener directly, demanding to know whether he would actually protect women’s safety. The Mamas break down the moment Hyman stood her ground against a hostile crowd, challenged the narrative that “trans women are women,” and exposed the disturbing criminal history of the man at the center of the controversy. What emerges is a rare, powerful pushback from inside the Democratic base itself — and a sign that even in San Francisco, the backlash to radical gender policies may be beginning. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 22:30 We break down the stunning admission from Democratic Senators John Hickenlooper and Jack Reed, who now claim the longest government shutdown in American history was — unbelievably — “worth it.” While millions of Americans went without paychecks, vital services stalled, and military families were left in limbo, these senators are patting themselves on the back as if the suffering was an acceptable price for partisan leverage. We dig into what the shutdown was really about: not national security, not fiscal responsibility, but a political standoff over illegal-alien healthcare and a $1.5 trillion progressive wish list. 27:00 We Dig Deep into a rare moment of clarity from the U.S. Supreme Court — courtesy of Justice Neil Gorsuch. While promoting his upcoming children’s book, Heroes of 1776, Gorsuch sat down with Fox & Friends’ Lawrence Jones to discuss an urgent issue: America’s growing civic illiteracy. When asked about the consequences of removing foundational stories from our classrooms, Gorsuch didn’t hesitate. The greatest threat to America, he warned, is America itself — a population that no longer knows its own history. We unpack his sobering reminder that most Americans can’t pass the same citizenship test required of legal immigrants, and how that civic ignorance is fueling everything from political polarization to the rise of socialism in major cities. If we don’t teach people why this nation was founded — the principles of natural rights, limited government, and personal liberty — then someone else will fill that void, and not with the truth. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:00 We dive into the newest revelations from the Epstein document dump—and what the media isn’t telling you. While headlines focus on misdirection and selectively edited claims, the real story is hiding in plain sight: high-profile journalists and a former New York Times reporter were privately begging Jeffrey Epstein for dirt on Donald Trump… and came up empty. We break down who was involved, what the emails actually show, and why the media’s narrative conveniently ignores the exculpatory details. 35:00 Plus, Barry Brownstein’s Daily Economy article, “The Economics of Gratitude" is a real Bright Spot. We unpack a powerful idea from the article, that gratitude— not entitlement— is the foundation of prosperity. Drawing on insights from 19th-century economist Frédéric Bastiat, we reflect on how modern life is built on the contributions of millions of people we’ll never meet—and how easy it is to lose sight of that. From the smartphones in our pockets to the computers on our desks, we rely every day on technology that no single person could ever build alone. Yet in a culture of comfort and convenience, gratitude evaporates quickly. We dig into how cultivating gratitude can reshape your worldview, your politics, and your daily life, and why remembering what you already have may be the most radical—and liberating—act you can take. 39:30 Harvard's grading scale has basically become a joke. They call it “grade inflation,” but let’s be honest—it’s a participation-trophy festival. And now there’s a rumor that Harvard might finally do something about it. Perhaps Harvard has realized that standards really do matter and they're saying, "Whoa." 41:30 And we finish off with some Words of Wisdom about gratitude.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio          

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 12, 2025.  0:30 How can one city take nearly half a month to count votes? Seattle’s still counting ballots two weeks after Election Day — and somehow, the far-left candidate keeps gaining ground. From New York’s new socialist mayor to Seattle’s projected “democratic socialist” winner, delayed counts and mail-in ballots seem to benefit the far-left. But it’s about more than elections. We dig into why progressive cities like Seattle, already struggling with crime, homelessness, and failing businesses, keep doubling down on policies that made those problems worse. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced this week he is running for a fourth term as Governor of the Lone Star State. Sean Duffy, the Secretary of Transportation says California has issued 17,000 commercial drivers licenses to illegal aliens in violation of federal law. Police in New York city are searching for a gay pride flag waving vandal who defaced three churches. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 Crime is down in Chicago — shootings, carjackings, and violent crime have all dropped under President Trump’s Operation Midway. You’d think everyone would be celebrating, but the left isn’t cheering — they’re furious. We unpack why a safer city has made progressives so angry and what that reveals about their real priorities. 16:00 If Donald Trump cured cancer, would Democrats even take the cure? That’s the question our American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — tackle this week. From a mother’s fight to save her daughter from a rare autoimmune disease to the political outrage that erupts any time a Trump-era name is mentioned, the Mamas dig into what’s behind the left’s reflexive hostility. Why has disagreement turned into derangement? Why does everything connected to Trump — even something meant to help people — become a trigger? 23:00 We reflect on the fading penny — not just as currency, but as a piece of American culture. From “a penny for your thoughts” to “penny wise and pound foolish,” they explore what happens when familiar sayings — and the values behind them — lose their meaning to a new generation. 25:30 Follow the money — and the movers. We're Digging Deep into a new report from Unleash Prosperity, led by economist Stephen Moore, that shows just how much wealth is fleeing blue states — and where it’s landing. We break down the staggering numbers: New York, California, Illinois, and New Jersey have lost over $1.3 trillion in income as residents pack up for freer, lower-tax states like Florida and Texas. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30  Can affordable healthcare actually exist in America? We dig into the failures of Obamacare — the so-called “Affordable Care Act” that doubled costs for families and made seeing a doctor harder than ever. But there may be a better way. We're joined by Francis Curry, CFO of Altrua HealthShare, to discuss how a shared-values approach to healthcare is helping families across the country find coverage at a fraction of the cost — without government subsidies or bureaucratic red tape. 40:00 We react to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s latest non-answer — when asked if Chuck Schumer should step down, she replied that “a leader is a reflection of the party.” But is that really true? Or is it the other way around? The hosts break down how politicians spin, stall, and sidestep accountability — and why voters deserve straight answers instead of scripted talking points. Sometimes, all you can say is… whoa.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for November 11, 2025.  0:30 We dive into the 40-day government shutdown, the sudden awakening of Dick Durbin’s conscience, and John Fetterman’s surprising revelation about Obamacare subsidies. We unpack how Democrats engineered temporary COVID-era subsidies, then blamed Republicans for letting them expire—and used that as leverage to keep the government closed. From the hypocrisy of “fighting for the little guy” to the gaslighting over who actually wrote the law, we're breaking down the tangled politics behind the Schumer shutdown. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  The Federal Government's Continuing Resolution to fund the government passed the Senate last night after more than 40 days of lockdown. A Judge in Utah has thrown out a Republican drawn congressional map, and substituted one drawn by Democrats and special interest groups. A former aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul and former governor Andrew Cuomo is on trail for being a spy for the Chinese Communist Party. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 What happened to civil disagreement? We confront the alarming normalization of political violence in America—especially on the far left. From Hollywood actor Woody Harrelson’s shocking comments about fantasizing over harming the president to the media’s casual acceptance of such rhetoric, we're unpacking how moral decay and intellectual failure have made violence a substitute for debate. 15:30 Would you rather marry young, have children, and build a family with someone who isn’t quite your soulmate—or wait for your true love and miss the window to have kids? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into this listener question that hits at the core of love, family, and faith. The Mamas unpack the emotional, biblical, and practical sides of marriage—from marrying your soulmate to growing into one. They share personal stories, wisdom from friends, and surprising insights into how men and women often answer this question very differently. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 President Reagan once warned that “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” On this Veterans Day, that truth rings louder than ever. We honor the men and women who have fought, sacrificed, and given their “last full measure of devotion” to preserve America’s liberty. 24:30 The Washington Post just ranked every county in America to find “the best place to raise a family.” Their conclusion? Virginia is the best—and Louisiana is the worst. But when you dig into their methodology, the logic starts to fall apart. In this episode, the hosts break down the Post’s ranking system—what it values, what it ignores, and what it says about the media’s worldview. From weighting abortion access and gender policies above faith, family, and two-parent homes, to dismissing states that still celebrate traditional values, this list reveals more about politics than parenting.  32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Plus, we give Stephen's dad Colonel Thomas J. Parr a call. He reflects on what service, sacrifice, and freedom really mean. A decorated Vietnam veteran with three Bronze Stars (one for valor), a West Point graduate, and a surgeon who answered the call again during Desert Storm, Dr. Parr shares powerful, candid memories — from firefights and helicopter “unplanned landings” to moments of faith and perseverance. 39:30 After our conversation with Col. Thomas J. Parr, we reflect on a lesson that extends far beyond military service — the power of attitude. When life feels like it’s spinning out of control — when jobs are lost, marriages strain, or the world just seems turbulent — there’s still one thing you can choose: how you respond. 41:30 And we finish off with Presidents who served in the military.    

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 11, 2025.  0:30 After weeks of gridlock, Washington may finally reopen. Eight Senate Democrats, including Dick Durbin, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Maggie Hassan, have crossed the aisle to support ending the government shutdown. But this isn’t a sudden burst of bipartisanship—it’s political triage. While we credit John Fetterman for his consistency, most of his colleagues acted out of panic, not principle. The Democrats’ leadership, led by Chuck Schumer, is collapsing under the weight of its own miscalculation—boxed in, out of leverage, and out of public support. 9:30 Plus, we cover the top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Some Democrats in the Senate appear to have finally caved on the government funding battle. The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a case over whether or not mail in ballots that arrive after election day may be counted in an election. President Trump issues pardons over the weekend for many conservatives and Republicans accused of wrongdoing in the aftermath of the 2020 elections. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We tackle one of the most disturbing moral crises of our time—Canada’s expanding euthanasia program. What began as a measure for the terminally ill has spiraled into something far darker: state-sanctioned death for people with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and even mental health struggles. 15:30 Our American Mamas, Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, take on a listener’s question: “Can you even say one positive thing about Democrats?” Terri admits her “compliment” might be a bit backhanded—calling Senator John Fetterman the most sensible Democrat in America, though she jokes that says more about the state of the party than about him. Kimberly finds something to admire too: Democrats’ fearlessness in saying whatever they want without worrying about backlash—something she says conservatives could never get away with. But the discussion deepens as the Mamas reflect on their own friendships with Democrats, the difference between ordinary people and political leaders, and what “tolerance” and “pluralism” really mean in today’s climate. 23:00 We turn our attention to one of the world’s most horrific and underreported human rights crises—the persecution of Christians across Africa. In Nigeria alone, radical Islamic terrorists have murdered more than 50,000 Christians since 2009, wiping out entire villages, executing pastors, and burning churches to the ground while congregations worshiped. Where is the outrage? There’s silence from the United Nations, from Western media, and from the global human rights community. 26:00 We Dig Deep into one of the most intriguing unanswered questions from January 6th — who planted the pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters the night before the Capitol riot? More than four years later, the FBI has yet to identify a suspect, even as it has aggressively pursued hundreds of other January 6th cases. But now, new information and video evidence are reigniting the debate. According to an investigation by Blaze Media, forensic gait analysis of FBI surveillance footage points to a 94% match with an individual who later went on to work for the CIA — a woman named Shawnee Ray Kirchhoff, who at the time was employed by the Capitol Police. The report connects a string of coincidences: her height matches the FBI’s description, she walks with a limp due to a past injury, and her proximity to a residence once under federal surveillance deepens the intrigue. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 This Thanksgiving, Americans may find a little more sticker shock at the grocery store. We dive into why turkey prices have soared to their highest levels in decades, with wholesale costs up 75% since last year. From a bird flu outbreak that’s decimated flocks to the lingering fallout of Biden-era inflation that shuttered many family farms, multiple crises have converged on America’s most beloved holiday meal. 36:00 Plus, the International Olympic Committee is preparing to ban transgender athletes from competing outside their biological sex categories, and that's a Bright Spot for fairness in sports. After years of controversy, including last summer’s uproar in Paris over male-born athletes dominating women’s events, the IOC’s latest review finally acknowledges what many have long known: biological differences matter.  Citing findings from the IOC’s own medical and scientific director, we look at the evidence that male-born athletes retain physical advantages even after hormone suppression, confirming what critics of transgender inclusion in women’s divisions have said for years. This is not only a victory for women’s sports integrity, but also a sign that common sense is making a comeback on the world stage. 39:30 Michelle Obama is offended by President Trump's White House Renovations, bascially calling his demolition of part of the East Wing an attack on first ladies everywhere. But she had no problem renovating the state dining room during the Obama years. We see the hypocrisy, and we're saying, "Whoa."  41:30 And we finish off today's episode with a national hero who released his first original song at the age of 101. 

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 7, 2025.  0:30 We dig into the latest political bait-and-switch from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Schumer’s new proposal to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits for another year is being sold as a move to lower healthcare costs — but it’s really a carefully timed political trap designed to corner Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Nearly 1,000 flights across the country today were canceled as the FAA's mandatory reductions take place. The former soviet Socialist Republic of Kazakhstan has joined the Abraham Accords. Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced today she's running for Governor of New York. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We unpack the surprising rise of Zoran Mamdani in New York City politics — and what his victory says about shifting attitudes in America’s younger generations. We explore how Mamdani’s campaign tapped into quality-of-life frustrations, appealing to voters disillusioned by the high cost of living and the fading promise of the American Dream. 16:00 MTV is calling it quit in other countries. We ask the American Mamas if they think the same will happen in the U.S. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, reminisce about the golden age of MTV—back when music videos ruled the airwaves, A-ha played in every living room, and Cyndi Lauper and Huey Lewis were household names. The Mamas reflect on how MTV once shaped a generation, connecting fans deeply with artists’ faces, stories, and creativity—and how today’s music landscape, dominated by TikTok trends and streaming algorithms, feels far less personal. They also talk about MTV’s slow fade, the endless reruns of Ridiculousness, and whether the network could ever recapture the magic that made it a cultural phenomenon. With humor, heart, and plenty of ‘80s memories, they ask the big question: Is there still room for real music television in America today? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We unpack the latest congressional standoff, where Democrats’ refusal to advance legislation has effectively frozen President Trump’s agenda in place. With insights from Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, we explore how deliberate obstruction and political gamesmanship have turned Congress into a stalemate.  25:00 We Dig Deep into why the government shutdown shows no signs of ending — and why that may be by design. After recent elections, Democrats believe they’ve found a winning formula: resist Donald Trump at all costs, even if it means keeping Washington frozen. Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy joins the discussion, revealing that even one of the most bipartisan Republicans in Congress couldn’t name a single Democrat willing to cross the aisle to reopen the government. The conversation unpacks how Chuck Schumer’s own words — “every day the shutdown continues, it gets better for us” — have become a guiding strategy for Democrats seeking political advantage over progress. We explore how the party has shifted the narrative from fiscal issues to health care and anti-Trump messaging, turning the shutdown into a campaign tool rather than a policy standoff. Democrats need Trump as their foil — their political “Lex Luthor” — to keep their base energized and their message alive. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:00 As this year’s 75-year-old, 11-ton Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree makes its way from upstate New York to Manhattan for the 93rd annual lighting ceremony, some are beginning to ask: Will this cherished event still look the same under New York’s new leadership? We take a closer look at Mayor Zoran Mamdani’s worldview, background, and what his administration might mean for New York’s cultural and religious traditions. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From the re-election of “Mayor McCheese" California spending, and even pet carbon footprints, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 40:00 We take a closer look at the Republican Party’s potential 2028 lineup — and the surprising signals coming from inside the Trump administration. A new Politico report reveals that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has no plans to run for president if Vice President J.D. Vance enters the race, a move the hosts say underscores an unusual sense of unity among top GOP figures. This administration's cabinet is getting things done, and we're saying, "Whoa!"  41:30 And we finish off with a Slidell woman who helped stop a shoplifter. 

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 6, 2025.  0:30  We take a look at Speaker Mike Johnson's warning that today’s Democratic Party has been overtaken by an ideological movement far removed from its working-class roots. Once the party that called itself the party of the middle class and moderation, Democrats have shifted so sharply to the left that traditional voices are nearly extinct. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi will not run for another term in Congress. The FAA is ordering 40 of the biggest airports in the country to begin restricting flights. The US Supreme Court ruled that the federal government does have the right and the power to insist only biological sex can be listed on US issued passports. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We unpack Ronald Reagan’s iconic declaration that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem,” then contrast it with Mamdani’s modern-day claim that “there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” If you want to see what happens when government tries to solve everything, look at cities like New York, San Franscisco, Chicago, and Portland. Skyrocketing taxes, tent cities, rampant crime, and deepening inequality despite billions in government spending.  16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the stunning — but not surprising — election of Zoran Mamdani as mayor of New York City. The Mamas discuss the fiery tone of Mamdani’s victory speech, where he quoted socialist figures like Eugene V. Debs rather than American founders, and how his words reflect what they see as a deeper ideological shift in American politics.  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We discuss the surge of over 35,000 Americans applying to become “Homeland Defenders” — a new initiative under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services within the Department of Homeland Security. The goal? Strengthen the nation’s immigration system by ensuring that only those who meet legal standards are granted entry or benefits. 25:30 We Dig Deep into one of the most shocking takeaways from the week’s elections — the erosion of political accountability. We reflect on a time when personal misconduct or moral scandal could end a political career, pointing back to Gary Hart’s downfall in the 1980s as a stark contrast to today. From Zoran Mamdani’s incendiary rhetoric, to Virginia’s new attorney general Jay Jones and his disturbing text messages, to Mikie Sherrill’s Naval Academy cheating scandal, and even an admitted illegal immigrant elected mayor in St. Paul, the discussion paints a picture of a political culture where outrage no longer matters — at least, not for one side of the aisle. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We turn to Clearwater, Kansas, where Mayor Joe Sabalas, a non-citizen permanent resident from Mexico, has not only served as mayor—but was just reelected. Even more troubling, records show he voted illegally in U.S. elections multiple times, leading to felony charges of election perjury and unlawful voting. 35:30 Plus, a newChristianity Today report shows Gen Z now leads all generations in church attendance, and that's a Bright Spot. This hunger for truth and spiritual grounding contrasts sharply with the moral confusion shaping politics and culture. It looks like Gen Z realizes that the next generation’s hope isn’t found in movements or ideologies, but in the gospel itself. 40:00 For the sixth straight month, U.S. Border Patrol has reported zero illegal immigrant releases into the country—a stark contrast to the 150,000–200,000 monthly releases under the Biden administration. Trump looked at all the people coming across the border and said, "Whoa!"  41:30 And we finish off with a story about Abraham Lincoln and a letter that was discovered earlier this year that shows his character.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio  

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for November 5, 2025.  0:30 We unpack the controversy surrounding California’s Proposition 50, which recently passed and is set to create five new Democrat-leaning congressional districts — potentially flipping control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Prop 50 represents a new wave of partisan gerrymandering, undermining fair representation and further dividing the nation along racial and political lines. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Democrats won big in elections across the country.In New York City, communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral election with more than 50% of the vote. The US Supreme Court heard arguments today over whether or not President Trump has the power to place tariffs on imports into the United States. A UPS Plane crashed in Louisville, Kentucky, killing 9 people and injuring 11 more. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani told supporters to “turn the volume up” during his victory speech, but what did he really mean— and who were those words meant for? Was he signaling that the political temperature in America is about to rise even higher? Or was it just another moment of headline-grabbing bravado? 15:30 The American Mamas take on a listener question about why Michelle Obama continues to grace magazine covers like People, while First Lady Melania Trump—once a world-renowned supermodel—seems to be overlooked by mainstream media. Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss the double standards in media coverage, Michelle Obama’s ongoing public presence through podcasts and books, and her repeated claims of being treated unfairly. Is Michelle Obama sending the right message to young women, or is she promoting victimhood culture?  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that 10% of air traffic controllers will see a reduced workload due to mounting stress from the ongoing government shutdown. This decision is meant to alleviate the pressure on our air traffic controllers, but will it increase the pressure on those in Congress? Or will lawmakers continue to weaponize the shutdown for political gain?  25:00 We Dig Deep into the surprising and polarizing victory speech of newly elected New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani. Quoting socialist figure Eugene V. Debs, Mamdani framed his win as the dawn of a “better day for humanity,” but invoking Debs reveals a radical agenda. Are Mamdani’s promises — rent freezes, free childcare, and fare-free transit — visionary or economically disastrous? Is New York stepping into a hopeful new era or a dangerous experiment in radical governance? 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Have “quality of life” issues like rent, wages, and affordability finally overtaken the cultural battles that once dominated Democratic messaging? Or is it simply a rebranding effort to hide the same “woke” ideology underneath?  35:30 Plus, a new Beacon Center poll out of Tennessee shows a surprising trend — most voters want more religion in public schools, and that's a Bright Spot. Over half of respondents (52%) said there isn’t enough religion in classrooms, while only 18% said there’s too much. Even among Democrats, the numbers were nearly even. National data shows growing public support for allowing chaplains in schools, though not necessarily for teacher-led prayer. 40:00 Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped President Obama would fail, and Democrats condemned him for it. Now, Zohran Mamdani promises to "take [Trump] down" and to destroy the real estate market in New York so there's never any Donald Trump again. We've just got to say, "Whoa!"  41:30 And we finish off today's show with some words of wisdom about faith.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio Links:  Democrats sweep key races in 2025 elections in early referendum on Trump Supreme Court justices question businesses challenging Trump's tariffs Supreme Court weighs challenge to Trump's tariff power

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 4, 2025.  0:30 We break down the political standoff that has brought Washington to a halt — and threatens to ground the nation’s air travel. With a government shutdown dragging on, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns of nationwide flight chaos. From TSA staffing shortages to potential economic fallout, Democratic leaders are playing a dangerous game with American livelihoods and national security. 9:30 Plus we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. Former Vice President Dick Cheney passed away this week at the age of 84. It's election day for several states across the country. In New York City, communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani is expected to win. The Federal Government shutdown has now passed 35 days, breaking all previous government shutdown records. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 FromKarl Marx’s 19th-century theories to modern-day political promises, we explore why the socialist dream has repeatedly turned into a nightmare. When the state promises to take care of everything, everyone ends up poorer, less free, and more dependent. 16:00 The American Mamas tackle the latest protest trend from the Left—a planned weeklong shopping strike meant to hurt Donald Trump’s economy. The Mamas aren’t buying it. They unpack why the protest makes zero economic sense — and how, in trying to “crash” the Trump economy, participants would only end up hurting small businesses and their own paychecks. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We take a look at the growing power struggle inside the Democratic Party — and the rise of New York socialist Zohran Mamdani. As polls suggest Mamdani’s likely win, this election could mark a political coup from within, pushing Democrats further left than ever before — a seismic shift not seen since George McGovern’s 1972 transformation attempt. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the early results of President Trump’s controversial decision to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C. — and the numbers speak for themselves. From a 60% drop in murders to carjackings down 70%, new reports show dramatic crime reductions since the launch of Trump’s “D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force.” The data proves that restoring order and accountability works — even as Democrats in cities like Chicago and Portland continue to fight Trump’s authority in court. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 We take a hard look at the complex legacy of former Vice President Dick Cheney — a man once considered one of the most influential figures in American foreign policy. We revisit the Iraq War and the long-debated question of whether the Bush administration knowingly exaggerated claims about weapons of mass destruction. And we look at Dick Cheney's later years—Liz Cheney’s role on the January 6th Committee to his own endorsement of Kamala Harris. 36:00 A new study out in Australia says hope may be the most powerful thing in your life, and that's a Bright Spot. The study from the Good News Network found hopeful individuals experience better health, stronger relationships, and greater success in education and work. The research shows that people who nurture hope are not only more resilient but also recover faster from setbacks and resist the pull of negativity. 40:00 We discuss a striking ripple effect of the “defund the police” movement—citizens increasingly turning to self-protection products. In China manufacturers are producing anti-stab or “urban protection wear” clothing, such as coats, shirts, and vests designed to resist knife attacks. Americans are feeling less safe and they're saying, "Whoa!"  41:30 And we end today's show with a story out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Teurlings Catholic High School celebrated a historic win against St. Thomas Moore on the football field. But what made the news was what happened after the game.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 3, 2025.  0:30 We unpack the controversy out of Dearborn, Michigan, where Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told a Christian resident he was “not welcome” in the city after objecting to a street being renamed for a man who once praised Hezbollah. We break down the mayor’s remarks, the misuse of the term “Islamophobe,” and what this moment says about free speech, civic respect, and the growing confusion between disagreement and hate. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the Federal Government spent less money in 2025 than it did in 2024. Some details are finally coming out about the alleged Halloween Terror Plot in Michigan.The FBI filed a 73 page complaint in court against 2 men under the age of 21 and a teenager. Tomorrow is election day in several states across the country.New York City will be selecting a new mayor, and most polls say communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani will win easily. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We take a hard look at what it means to be American in 2025 — and whether today’s immigration policies are helping or hurting the nation’s civic fabric. From nostalgia for Ellis Island to sharp criticism of mass resettlement policies, assimilation and shared civic norms — including pledging allegiance to the Republic — are non-negotiable for national unity. 16:00 The American Mamas are back together! After a wild stretch of floods, car troubles, and chaos, Kimberly Burleson rejoins Teri Netterville for a candid and fiery conversation about boundaries, truth, and common sense in a world that seems to have lost all three. In this episode, the Mamas share a surprising story about a massage appointment gone wrong — when “preference” meets “policy” and customer comfort gets dismissed in the name of virtue signaling. They also unpack Glamour UK’s controversial “Women of the Year” cover featuring transgender models and ask: how far can society bend reality before it breaks? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We dive into actor George Clooney’s surprising reversal — admitting that Democrats made a mistake pushing Joe Biden aside for Kamala Harris during the 2024 election. 26:00 We Dig Deep into another glaring example of failure under the Biden administration — a 54% surge in SNAP (food stamp) spending, now topping $120 billion a year. We unpack new revelations from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, who says an internal review uncovered thousands of cases of EBT card fraud — from duplicate benefits across states to payments to the deceased. Even more alarming? Twenty-one states — nearly all Democrat-run — refused to share their data, with several even suing the federal government for asking where the money went. We contrast the left’s “compassion equals more checks” philosophy with a conservative vision of empowerment and accountability. True compassion lifts people up rather than locking them into dependence. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 After nearly forty years in Congress, Nancy Pelosi is reportedly preparing to step away from politics — announcing she won’t seek re-election in 2026. We reflect on Pelosi’s legacy — from her two Trump impeachments and dramatic moments on the House floor to her role in deepening partisan division.  36:00 Plus, the U.S. Navy has manager 273 nuclear reactors over 6,200 reactor-years and 177 million miles — all with zero accidents, zero injuries, and zero environmental pollution, and that's a Bright Spot.  40:30 Violence continues in Chicago. Over Halloween weekend alone, at least 23 people were shot across the city.

We dig into a new study showing that Democrats now represent more than 75% of America’s wealthiest districts — the very same crowd that rails against “income inequality.” From Nancy Pelosi to Bernie Sanders, millionaire politicians and billionaire donors have reshaped the Democratic Party into an elite club more comfortable in boardrooms than break rooms.  16:30 The American Mamas tackle a listener's question: could Gavin Newsom actually become the Democrats' 2028 nominee? Teri Netterville doesn't hold back, calling out Newsom's chameleon-like persona — switching accents, stories, and attitudes depending on the audience.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 30, 2025.  0:30 For years, the Department of Justice has turned a blind eye to corruption—but that may finally be changing. The DOJ is investigating Black Lives Matter leaders for allegedly defrauding donors of millions, a long-overdue step toward restoring real accountability. From BLM mansions to political double standards, public trust has eroded under unequal justice—and holding every power player to the same standard, left or right, is essential to saving faith in the system. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  President Trump has reached a trade deal with China that is expected to avert an all out trade war between the worlds' two largest economies. The Sunshine Protection Act — the bill that would give states he opportunity to ban the changing of the clocks from standard time to daylight savings time twice a year — has stalled out in Congress again. General Motors is laying off more than 3,000 workers this week.Some of the layoffs are temporary, but more than half are permanent. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 A new Quinnipiac poll out of New York City shows Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani leading the mayoral race with 43%—well ahead of Andrew Cuomo at 33% and Republican Curtis Sliwa at 14%. But are the polls missing something? We dig into what those numbers really mean, questioning whether the data captures the growing frustration among everyday New Yorkers tired of crime, taxes, and government overreach. 16:00 The American Mamas tackle a question that’s stirring controversy: should the NAACP be supporting Winsome Sears—a Black female immigrant, Marine veteran, and current Lieutenant Governor of Virginia—over white Democrat Abigail Spanberger? The Mamas break down the debate fallout, the viral reactions across social media, and the growing frustration among Black Americans who feel politically manipulated. From Barack Obama’s campaign choices to the NAACP’s partisan priorities, the conversation exposes what many see as deep hypocrisy within identity politics. As more voters—especially young Black men—begin speaking out and shifting right, the Mamas ask: is this the moment America finally wakes up to the political double standard?

We unpack the Vice President’s meltdown—fact-checking her claims about government shutdown funding and calling out the growing trend of political figures dropping F-bombs on national TV. 26:00 With ten months of President Trump’s second term in the books, we're looking back at the most productive stretches in modern presidential history. From record-breaking deportations and declining food stamp enrollment to rising GDP, falling inflation, and renewed energy dominance, the mainstream press is ignoring a wave of domestic and economic achievements. On everything from tariffs and tax cuts to military recruitment and peace deals abroad—this administration has delivered results where others only made promises. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 For the first time in seven years, President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet face-to-face—and strike a deal that could reshape global trade. We break down the stunning tariff reductions, China’s promise to open its markets to American goods, and what it could mean for U.S. manufacturing. But is Beijing serious this time, or just smiling through another double-cross?  36:30 Turning Point USA lights up the University of Mississippi with a massive rally that packs the stadium and spills into the streets — and it wasn’t just the crowd that made headlines. Vice President J.D. Vance took center stage, fielding tough, unfiltered questions from students and delivering one of the most thoughtful defenses of faith and freedom we’ve ever heard from a sitting VP. From his take on Christianity’s role in America’s founding to his sharp insight into the future of conservative youth, this was a defining moment for a new generation of leaders. A genuine bright spot — and one worth replaying. 40:30 Glamour UK released its “Women of the Year” issue featuring biological men on the cover. When did celebrating women become about celebrating men?

This is the full show for October 29, 2025.  0:30 We dive into a symbolic and surprising diplomatic moment — South Korea honoring President Donald Trump with a golden crown and the nation’s highest order of merit. We explore what this gesture means for U.S.–Korea relations. Could it be the dawn of a “golden age” of trade and cooperation? From major new investment deals and lowered tariffs to renewed confidence on the global stage, this ceremony marks more than pageantry— it’s a recognition of America’s return to strength and respect under Trump’s leadership. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  The Federal Reserve voted to lower interest rates today.It's the second rate cut this year, and drops the interest rate between banks to 4%.

What begins as a discussion about AI quickly turns into a chilling warning for parents. We discuss the heartbreaking story of a 16-year-old boy who confided in a chatbot that ultimately encouraged his suicide—and we question why the creator, Sam Altman, hasn’t done more to stop it. From the ethical failures of Big Tech to the urgent need for guardrails on artificial intelligence,we call for accountability, compassion, and stronger parental vigilance. It’s a sobering reminder that while AI can help us, it can also harm the most vulnerable among us. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Nancy Pelosi takes a page out of Hillary Clinton’s old playbook—and it doesn’t go over well. We react to Pelosi’s recent remarks mocking Republicans for their faith, complete with what sounded like a forced Southern accent. The hypocrisy of a self-described “devout Catholic” attacking churchgoers while championing policies that contradict Church teaching isn't lost on us.  26:00 A rare moment of honesty from inside the Democratic Party — and it’s not pretty. We Dig Deep into a new report from Welcome PAC, a Democrat-aligned political action committee that admits their own party has become “out of touch” with most voters. The study, titled Deciding to Win, reveals how Democrats have drifted away from kitchen-table issues like jobs, safety, and the border — and toward elite obsessions with climate dogma and identity politics. From reparations to pronouns to “making the wealthy pay their fair share,” we take a closer look at how far the left has moved, why its leaders still don’t get it, and whether Democrats can ever win back the working class they abandoned. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 As the GOP looks toward the next election cycle, new RNC Chairman Joe Gruters is striking a note of cautious optimism—but should Republicans be even more confident?

In a surprising op-ed ahead of the upcoming climate conference in Brazil, Gates admits that climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise," and that's a Bright Spot. 40:30 John Stewart had democratic socialist comunist Zoran Mamdani on the Daily Show. Stewart compared Mamdani's campaign to a Jackie Robinson moment. let's just be very clear here. Jackie Robinson  was a man of extraordinary courage who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball in 1947 when doing so took unimaginable strength. Comparing Zoran Mamdani to Jackie Robinson? We've got to say, "whoa!" 42:30 And we finish of with some Words of Wisdom about being skeptical.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio Links:  Ohio uncovers over 1,000 noncitizens 'appearing' registered to vote, sends cases to DOJ for prosecution Sean Duffy Announces He Just Yanked $160 Million From Blue State Over CDLs For Illegal Immigrants Exclusive / Left-wing ideas have wrecked Democrats’ brand, new report warns Prediction of Climate Catastrophe Loses Some of Its Strongest Advocates

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 29, 2025.  0:30 We unpack revelations that dozens of Biden’s executive actions — even some presidential pardons — may have been signed not by the president himself, but by an auto-pen. We trace the implications of this puppet presidency, where unelected handlers allegedly assumed the powers of the Oval Office. From Alexander Haig’s infamous “I’m in charge” moment to Mike Johnson’s firsthand account of Biden denying his own executive order, the discussion exposes a constitutional crisis — one that raises the chilling question: If Biden wasn’t governing, who was? 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  The House oversight committee said this week that at least some of Joe Biden's autopen signatures are not valid, which would undo many pardons and executive orders which were signed with the autopen. President Trump met with the new Conservative Prime Minister of Japan, Sanae Takaichi yesterday.At their meeting, they signed a trade deal lowering bilateral tariffs to 15% and pledging more cooperation in rare-earth minerals.

We connect the dots between Donald Trump’s promise to restore American manufacturing and a long-overdue comeback for U.S. industry. 16:00 We ask our American Mamas about a Halloween trend that has crossed the line. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to reports of people dressing up as the assassinated Charlie Kirk — complete with fake blood and mock “Freedom” shirts — and their asking what has happened to empathy and decency in our culture? We unpack the grotesque mockery, the social media applause fueling it, and the deeper spiritual sickness it reveals. Yet amid the outrage, we find a glimmer of hope — that what was meant for evil might still awaken hearts, spark conviction, and remind parents to teach their children compassion, not cruelty. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told NCAA champion Riley Gaines to “get a real job,” the backlash was swift — and heartfelt. We take a look at AOC’s dismissive comment and the deeper cultural divide it exposes about work and motherhood. 26:30 Nearly half of America’s state attorneys general are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the birthright citizenship case — and they’re standing behind President Trump’s executive order to end automatic citizenship for children born to parents in the country illegally. We Dig Deep into the legal, historical, and moral arguments behind the 14th Amendment, tracing its roots back to the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and the congressional debates that shaped it.

Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 Something’s stirring in the heart of America — a renewed openness about faith. We reflect on a surprising and uplifting trend: more public figures, from commentators to professional athletes, are unapologetically sharing their belief in God. When New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields says he’s “low key addicted to reading [his] Bible every day,” it’s more than a soundbite — it’s a sign of cultural momentum. We unpack what this growing revival says about America’s roots, our hunger for truth, and the timeless reminder that our rights come from God, not government. 36:30 There’s a new bill in Ohio that’s sparking national attention, and it's a Bright Spot. The Charlie Kirk American Heritage Act would allow teachers from kindergarten through college to discuss Christianity’s influence on American history and culture. We break down how faith shaped the nation’s founding ideals — from the Declaration of Independence to the first schoolhouses that taught children to read from the Bible. Removing this history has left America divided and adrift, while restoring it could help heal the nation’s soul. Named in honor of Charlie Kirk, the bill is described as both a tribute to his legacy and a blueprint for renewal in classrooms across the country. 40:30 New York Assemblyman Zoran Mamdani is under fire for fabricating a personal story about his so-called “aunt” to bolster his image as a victim of post-9/11 prejudice.

It's time to say, "whoa!"  42:30 And we finish off with Natalie Gravile, a woman who finish the Ironman Traithlon in Hawaii at 80-years-old.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio Links:  House Oversight Committee deems some of Biden’s autopen orders ‘invalid,’ asks DOJ to investigate Comer calls for Biden autopen actions to be held 'null and void' in House Oversight Committee report Texas suing makers of Tylenol over alleged autism link Nearly Half Of State AGs Ask SCOTUS To End ‘Birthright Citizenship’ New Bill in Ohio Could Help Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Live On

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 27, 2025.  0:30 What drives the left’s obsession with Donald Trump? We're diagnosing Trump Derangement Syndrome—a political fever that’s gripped the media, the swamp, and much of Washington since the day Trump came down the golden escalator.  9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  The American Federation of Government Employees is calling on Democrat Senators to end the Government Shutdown.

Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We tackle one of the most uncomfortable truths in American politics—how the same media that condemns conservative outrage excuses or even glorifies violence from the left. From riots and Molotov cocktails to threats against Supreme Court justices, political violence has become woven into the left’s playbook—and the double standard is impossible to ignore. 16:30 When Zohran Mamdani tearfully claimed his aunt was too afraid to ride the subway after 9/11, the media swooned—until the story fell apart. Our American Mamas, Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, dig into the facts behind Mamdani’s emotional performance and uncover a troubling pattern of deception and radical associations. From his fabricated family story to his ties with an imam who calls America “filthy and sick,” the Mamas ask: how did this man become a rising star in New York politics—and why is the media looking the other way? If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We break down Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s response to a question about funding for illegal aliens, exposing the left’s campaign to rewrite language and erase accountability. “Illegal alien” isn’t hate speech—it’s federal law. And when politicians start treating law as a moral insult, that’s when the rule of law itself is on the line. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the latest numbers from the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races, where early voting trends are defying every media narrative. In Virginia, Abigail Spanberger’s supposed seven-point lead over Winsome Earle-Sears isn’t showing up in the ballot box, as Republican strongholds surge in turnout while Democrat areas lag behind. And in New Jersey, the margins are even tighter than the pollsters want to admit. We break down what the data really means, why the NAACP’s endorsement of Spanberger over Sears exposes the left’s hypocrisy, and why Democrats may be facing another polling meltdown. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 When is a pep talk more like a parody? When Joe Biden starts sounding like Stuart Smalley from Saturday Night Live. In this segment, we compare Biden’s latest “get up and fight” speech to Al Franken’s classic “Daily Affirmations,” arguing that the president’s rallying cry feels less like leadership and more like self-help gone wrong. 36:30 America turns 250 soon, and the Heritage Foundation is celebrating by helping us rediscover who we are — and where we came from. The foundation is working on a new project ranking historic sites across the country for their accuracy and authenticity, from Monticello to Gettysburg, and it's a Bright Spot. Unfortunately some landmarks are slipping in the ratings not because of poor preservation, but because of politics creeping into the storytelling. We dig into how ideological rewriting has distorted our view of figures like Washington, Jefferson, and even Lincoln — and why honest history still matters. From battlefields to presidential homes, history reminds us that America’s story isn’t perfect, but it’s good — and worth remembering. 40:30 Charlie Sheen — yes, that Charlie Sheen — just might be the voice of reason. On Bill Maher’s podcast, the Hollywood wild man took aim at the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny for next year’s Super Bowl halftime show, calling it “off-putting for real football fans.” Charlie Sheen is onto.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 24, 2025.  0:30 Has James Carville finally gone off the deep end? We react to the “Ragin’ Cajun’s” shocking rant, where he fantasizes about shaving the heads of Trump supporters, dressing them in orange jumpsuits, and parading them down Pennsylvania Avenue to be spat upon. And we unpack the left’s obsession with public shaming and “thought crimes" and thechilling parallels to Orwell’s 1984 and the real-world silencing of conservatives during the COVID era. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  President Trump has terminated all trade negotiations with Canada over a TV ad that features a clip of President Ronald Reagan seemingly denouncing tariffs. Inflation ticked up a bit in September, but not as much as was expected. The USS Gerald Ford Aircraft Group is moving into the Caribbean sea as the US is ramping up military strikes against drug runners coming from South America. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We dig into the spiritual sickness spreading through half of America: a willful blindness where truth, logic, and reason no longer matter, only outrage. From Trump Derangement Syndrome to a culture that prizes victimhood over virtue, we explore how emotion has replaced truth on the left. 16:30 We ask American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — how they can be okay with Donald Trump tearing down part of the White House. We unpack the latest round of media outrage, sparked by Trump’s privately funded ballroom project. From Chelsea Clinton’s dramatic tweets to Hakeem Jeffries’ call for an investigation, we dig into the hypocrisy surrounding presidential renovations. Nearly every president—from Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama—has left their mark on the White House. So why is it suddenly a scandal when President Trump does the same? 23:00 House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is endorsing Zoran Mamdani—a New York politician so far left, he makes Bernie Sanders look like Milton Friedman. We unpack Mamdani’s extremist rhetoric, including his call to “globalize the Intifada,” and what that really means for Jewish communities at home and abroad. 25:30 What exactly is the “Trump Doctrine”? It's simple: be nice to me, I’ll be nice to you — cross me, and you’ll regret it. We break down President Trump’s decision to hold off on deploying the National Guard to crime-ridden San Francisco after a respectful call from the city’s Democratic mayor, Daniel Lurie. It's a perfect example of Trump’s “tit-for-tat” strategy in action — strength tempered by reason, toughness balanced with generosity. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 Canada just got a cold dose of the Trump Doctrine. We break down the fallout after Ontario Premier Doug Ford pulled a $75 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign that deceptively used Ronald Reagan’s words to attack U.S. tariffs. Turns out, the ad violated Canadian law — and when Trump found out, he didn’t just hit back, he shut down the negotiations altogether. 36:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news?

It's not cruelty — it’s common sense — and that Americans are finally saying “whoa” to open borders and lawlessness. 42:00 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about the White House.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio

And should Curtis Sliwa stay in the race despite the polls?  17:00 We got a question in for our American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson. They tackle a viral comment from former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who claimed that Usha Vance—the wife of Vice President J.D. Vance—is a “prisoner who needs to be saved.” The mamas don’t hold back, calling Psaki’s remark ridiculous, bitter, and proof of lingering “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 In a moment that no one saw coming, Bernie Sanders just sounded more like Donald Trump than a democratic socialist. The self-proclaimed “godfather of the modern left”—who once hailed open borders as a moral imperative—has now admitted that Trump handled immigration better than Joe Biden. 25:00 We welcome back Ben Schettler, founder of the Center for Truth in Love, who’s taken his message of faith and reason into some of America’s most hostile environments.Following in the footsteps of the late Charlie Kirk, Shetler has been setting up open-forum booths on college campuses and in major cities—only to be met with anger, chaos, and even violence.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 23, 2025. 0:30 In a Fox News interview Congresswoman Katherine Clark, the Democratic Whip, openly admitted that a potential government shutdown gives her party “leverage.” Clark’s comments reveal the Democrats’ willingness to let American families, military workers, and small businesses suffer for political advantage—turning a crisis into a bargaining chip. 9:30 Plus we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  California Gavin Newsom wants to station the National Guard at food banks across the state of California.  Former New Hampshire Senator John Sununu is running for his old seat currently held by the woman who defeated him back in 2008. The North Carolina Legislature passed new congressional maps that are designed to give Republicans one additional seat in the 2026 elections. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We talk about the Democratice Party's true motive — using American hardship as a political weapon. They hammer home that millions of Americans stand to lose access to SNAP benefits due to the shutdown, not because of fiscal necessity, but because Democrats,see suffering as opportunity. 16:30 We ask the American Mamas: Can you be Black and MAGA? Inspired by a viral video from the recent “No Kings” protest, the Mamas discuss a heated exchange between a Black Trump supporter and a white leftist protester—a confrontation that exposes the hypocrisy and racism of the modern left. Rising Black conservative voices like Wesley Hunt, Byron Donalds, and Tim Scott are proof that patriotism and principle—not political pressure—define identity. Yet, these leaders are vilified instead of celebrated simply because they stand on the right. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:30 We react to Chuck Schumer's latest attempt to spin the ongoing government shutdown. Schumer blasted the continued construction of the new White House ballroom as proof of misplaced priorities—tweeting, “Yes to ballrooms, no to healthcare for Americans.”  25:30 And we Dig Deep into a new Breitbart article about Leah Thomas, the former University of Pennsylvania swimmer who continues to defend taking titles from female athletes. Quoting Thomas’s recent PBS interview—“It’s easier to fight the world than to fight yourself”—we unpack the deeper moral and cultural implications behind that statement. Thomas’s mindset reveals a wider spiritual and societal problem—a refusal to confront inner struggle and personal responsibility. The transgender movement’s rejection of self-discipline and truth—and giving in to confusion or pain rather than confronting it—leads to broader harm.  32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We dive into escalating tensions between the United States and Russia following the Trump administration’s latest sanctions announcement. With a planned Trump - Putin meeting in Hungary canceled, we see signs of a deepening rift—and a new phase of instability in U.S.–Russia relations. 36:00 Plus, Japan elected it's first female prime minister, Sanae Takeuchi. And that's a Bright Spot, not because she's a woman, but because she's a conservative. Takeuchi brings experience and a bold vision shaped by her mentor, the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and her admiration for Margaret Thatcher, whom she calls her political role model. Her speeches—emphasizing sovereignty, national pride, and family values—remind us of President Donald Trump, who is inspiring a new generation of unapologetically patriotic and conservative leaders around the world. 40:30 Once seen as the heir apparent to lead the Democratic Party, Gavin Newsom now finds himself trailing Kamala Harris by double digits. The poll reflects a deeper problem within the Democratic bench: a lack of fresh leadership and coherent vision. The party is stale, and they've got to have someone else that is going to step forward. Or the American people are just going to say, "Whoa."  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio Links:  Newsom deploys California National Guard to help with food banks amid prolonged government shutdown Arizona Attorney General sues the House over failure to swear-in Grijalva GOP Senator From Bush Era To Run For Old Seat — But First Must Take Down Another Ex-Lawmaker North Carolina GOP passes new congressional maps with extra red seat Poll: Majority of Americans favor voter ID requirement, split on mail-in voting ban

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 21, 2025.  0:30 We unpack the outrage over President Trump’s renovation of the White House ballroom — a story the left has spun into claims that he’s “bulldozing history.” Have they forgotten that every president has updated the White House—from Teddy Roosevelt’s West Wing to Nixon’s press room and Obama’s basketball court?  9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  A new report says not only did FEMA discriminate against Republicans and Trump supporters during the 2024 election, but has been discriminating against Republicans struck by disasters since at least 2021. The House Judicial committee referred former CIA director John Brennan to the Department of Justice for a criminal indictment, accusing Brennan of lying to Congress during his testimony on May 11, 2023 about the Russian Collusion Hoax. The US and Australia signed a rare earth mining agreement worth $8.5 billion in mining projects, including building a gallium refinery in western Australia. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We're seeing record deportation numbers under President Trump. While roughly half a million illegal immigrants were forcibly removed, 1.6 million chose to self-deport — proof of Trump’s effective and efficient approach to immigration enforcement.  17:00 And we ask the American Mamas—Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson— if they are going to read Karine Jean-Pierre's new book. The Mamas unpack Jean-Pierre’s media tour and the backlash that followed her “broken White House” claim. But there is a contradiction — Jean-Pierre served under Biden, yet insists the “broken” White House refers to Trump’s term. The Mamas also highlight her repeated references to race and sexuality in interviews, suggesting that identity, not merit, defined her tenure as press secretary. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We take a look at Colombian President Gustavo Petro's demand for Donald Trump’s removal from office. Colombia has long benefited from billions in U.S. aid, trade, and military support, only to now criticize the very policies protecting America’s borders and curbing the drug trade. 26:00 We Dig Deep into the media’s backlash to the new Pentagon press rules issued by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth — and we aren't buying the outrage. The updates, effective October 15th, include tighter restrictions on journalist movement inside the Pentagon, new escort requirements, U.S.-citizen-only press badges, and enforcement of long-standing rules against unauthorized information release. While major outlets walked out in protest — calling the policy “dictatorial” — these are common-sense security measures, no different from those in schools or corporate buildings. So what is the media really so upset about?  32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 There is a growing culture of quitting in America. Reporters are walking out of the Pentagon over new press rules and celebrities are vowing to leave the U.S. whenever elections don’t go their way. But perseverance — not retreat — is fundamental to the American spirit, and walking away in protest reflects the victim mindset on the left. 36:30 We just had another round of the "No Kings" protests, but we don't have anyone who's trying to become king in American. And that's a Bright Spot. The "No Kings" movement misses a fundamental truth: America was deliberately built to reject kingship altogether. The Founding Fathers saw monarchy as the root of tyranny and believed power should rest with ordinary citizens, not elites or hereditary rulers. 40:30 Socialist Zohran Mamdani is leading candidate in New York City's mayoral race. Curtis Sliwa faces mounting pressure to drop out, but he is saying "Whoa!" 42:30 And we finish off with construction on the Pantheon in Greece.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio  

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 20, 2025.  0:30 We break down a major ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals — one that upholds President Trump’s authority to deploy the National Guard to restore order in lawless cities like Portland. Once mocked as the Ninth Circus for its liberal rulings, the court now features Trump-appointed judges who have brought a dose of constitutional sanity back to the bench. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  President Trump announced over the weekend he was cutting off all US foreign aid to the nation of Columbia. The state of Florida is suing California and Washington for issuing drivers licenses to illegal aliens. Starting today, money is running out to fund various federal courts across the country. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We react to breaking news reports out of Palm Beach, where authorities discovered what they describe as a “sniper’s nest” overlooking the area where Air Force One routinely lands. While the media downplays it as a “hunting stand,” the setup — positioned near the airport with a clear line of sight to where President Trump exits the plane — looks far too deliberate to dismiss. 16:30 And we ask the American Mamas about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's now-viral “No Fatties” speech. The Mamas debate whether Hegseth’s fiery address was rehearsed for social media or a genuine challenge to the armed forces, but they agree on one thing: the message struck a chord. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:30 Thanks to immigration enforcement under President Trump, more than two million illegal aliens have been deported or have voluntarily departed since he took office. Seven in ten of those deported reportedly had criminal convictions or pending charges.  26:00 We Dig Deep into the growing tension inside CBS News after Paramount appointed Bari Weiss—the outspoken journalist and founder of The Free Press—as head of the network’s news division. Her arrival has shaken up the newsroom, where longtime reporters reportedly bristled at her challenge: “Why does the country think you’re biased?” 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We turn our focus to the New York City mayoral race, where Zoran Mamdani, a self-proclaimed socialist with open admiration for Marxist ideals, is leading the polls. With Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa trailing far behind, we wrestle with a question that’s both political and moral: Do we really get what we deserve? 36:30 Plus, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld President Trump’s authority to deploy the National Guard to U.S. cities, and that's a Bright Spot. This isn't just a victory or Trump, but a restoration of constitutional balance between the executive branch and the courts. For years federal judges have tried to restrict Republican presidents from enforcing the law, but this decision signals a shift back toward executive responsibility. 40:30 Clinton-era strategist James Carville is sounding more like a conservative than a Democrat. Carville recently blasted politicians who support letting men compete in women’s sports, accusing them of pandering to what he calls “left-wing zombies” and destroying the dignity and dreams of female athletes. Even Carville sees how the American People are rejecting the Democrat Party, and he's saying, "Whoa!"  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 17, 2025.  0:30 We break down what Speaker Mike Johnson has to say about the "No Kings" rallies — demonstrations the Speaker calls nothing more than “hate America” protests in disguise. These events aren’t about defending democracy at all, but about denouncing Donald Trump and rejecting the very ideals that built the United States. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  President Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky at the White House to discuss the potential sale of US Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, which would give the country the ability to strike deep into Russian territory. The US Federal Government has indicted Smartmatic, a voting machine company for money laundering and bribery. Candidates for the next mayor of New York City— Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa participated in a televised debate. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We dive into the fiery New York City mayoral debate between Mondami, Cuomo, and Sliwa, and the political storm brewing around it.  President Trump may hold all the leverage, with hundreds of millions in federal funds that he could — and likely will — withhold if New York City elects communist Mondami.  16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question: Did you kick your kids out of the house when they turned 18? Their answer — a resounding no. The mamas share why they believe keeping grown children at home, at least for a while, isn’t coddling — it’s setting them up for success. They talk about the challenges facing today’s young adults, from the cost of living to the broken housing market, and how strong families can be the safety net that helps the next generation thrive. Along the way, they contrast American independence with other cultures’ deep sense of family connection and reverence for elders, asking why the U.S. so often pushes both its kids and its elderly away. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Appearance showed up at the White House — notably — in a suit this time. It’s a shift from his usual olive-green military tees, and we can’t help but notice.  25:30 Plus, we Dig Deep into the narrative that “crime is down” in America and whether the FBI’s crime data tells the full story. While President Trump moves to deploy the National Guard to fight rising violence in major cities, Democrats point to FBI statistics claiming the opposite. But another federal source — the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ Crime Victimization Survey — paints a very different picture. According to that survey, violent crime actually rose in 2024, especially among young people, even as rural areas saw declines. So what’s causing the disconnect?  32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We unpack the Wall Street reaction to President Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese goods—a move that briefly rattled the markets before his clarification sent stocks rebounding. But this isn’t about chaos—it’s about strategy. Trump is once again using tariffs as a negotiating weapon to put pressure on Beijing, especially as China tightens its grip on the rare-earth metals market—the key to everything from smartphones to fighter jets. 36:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From Columbus Day controversies and Oregon’s spending priorities, to Hamas power struggles, Democrat protests, and even John Bolton’s mustache, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 40:30 Fromanti-Semitic rhetoric to anti-American ideology, Zohran Mamdani isn’t an outlier — he’s the new face of the Democratic mainstream. This isn’t just about one candidate, it’s about a party that’s lost its moral compass. And we have to say, "Whoa!"  42:30 And we finish off with the world's longest name.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 16, 2025.  0:30 We take a look at Hillary Clinton. She is calling on Americans to “push back on Trump’s power grabs” and join the so-called No Kings protest. The irony isn’t lost on us — no one has acted more like political royalty than the Clintons themselves. From renting out the Lincoln Bedroom to treating the presidency like a family heirloom, Hillary’s long been the face America’s “political aristocracy.” 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Governor Jeff Landry today called for a special session of the Louisiana Legislature. Classes at Bossier Parish Community College were canceled today after police conducted a manhunt for a suspect on campus. New Orleans' Mayor Elect, Helena Moreno has formed a new committee to search for the city's next Chief Administrative Officer. 12:30 Get Brain Reward from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We ask the American Mamas about the return of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. We recall how the brand went “woke” in 2021, pivoting from its iconic Angels to a lineup meant to highlight achievement and diversity—fronted by Megan Rapinoe. Now, with the 2025 show bringing back the supermodel aesthetic, it looks like Victoria’s Secret has rediscovered what made it a cultural powerhouse: celebrating classic femininity, beauty, and confidence. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We welcome back filmmaker and author Dinesh D’Souza to discuss his latest project, The Dragon’s Prophecy—a sweeping new film that blends biblical prophecy, archaeology, and modern geopolitics. Based on Jonathan Cahn’s book of the same name, D’Souza’s film explores the spiritual and historical forces shaping the Middle East, drawing striking parallels between ancient battles and contemporary conflicts. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We react to a viral comment from sports radio personality Craig Carton, who declared that “nobody cares about women’s basketball.” His claim sparks a spirited back-and-forth—are fans really invested in the WNBA, or just in breakout stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese? 36:30 Capitalism is a Bright Spot. It's such a Bright Spot, that the best place to live as a socialist is in a capitalist country. Capitalism's defining strength isfreedom of choice—including the freedom to live by socialist ideals if you so choose. From the Uber driver who owns their own car to the entrepreneur building a shared company, capitalism makes voluntary socialism possible—without government force. 40:30 10 high schools in California are forfeiting their girls volleyball games. Why? One team has a male player who left one promising female athlete with a career-ending concussion. These schools are not saying why they are forfeiting. The only thing that they're telling the other team is, "Whoa!"  42:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about socialism.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 15, 2025.  0:30 We tackle a fiery moment from the U.S. Supreme Court as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s comments ignite debate over race, equality, and the limits of government intervention. Have America’s efforts to “fix” racism through legislation—like the Voting Rights Act and redistricting—gone too far?  9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  A judge in San Francisco has placed another universal injunction on President Trump, this time over firing government workers during the government shutdown. The Supreme Court heard arguments today in a Louisiana redistricting case that could drastically alter the balance of power in the House of Representatives, and change how congressional districts are drawn at the state level. Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep, announced it's expanding its manufacturing base in the United States. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 The conversation turns to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s comparison between the Voting Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. We question the logic of equating race with disability and explore what equality truly means in a constitutional sense. 16:30 We ask the American Mamas about the ceremony where Charlie Kirk was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Mamas share their admiration for Erica Kirk’s extraordinary strength and grace in the face of loss — and for a president who made it a priority to honor her husband’s legacy.  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 When is upholding “international law” really just targeting America’s allies? That's exactly what’s happening when New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani calls for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.  25:30 We Dig Deep into a new report from the Center for Heterodox Social Science that shows that trans and queer identification among college students has nearly cut in half since 2023. The trend exposes the social — not biological — roots of gender ideology, pointing to lockdown-era isolation, TikTok influence, and a mental-health crisis among teens. From “social contagion” to cultural correction, we wonder if Gen Z is quietly walking away from one of the most aggressive social experiments in modern history. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We unpack a new study showing 42% of liberals — and a staggering 60% of liberals under 30 — consider breaking the law acceptable when protecting undocumented immigrants from deportation.  36:00 Plus, we are in the middle of a revival in this country, arguably the biggest Christian revival in our lifetimes, and that's a huge Bright Spot. It gained momentum after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Bible sales, religious app downloads, and Christian music streaming are all on the rise, and long-time believers and newcomers alike are posting online about returning to church, seeking community, and finding renewed faith. 40:30 Barack Obama is supporting California Governor Gavin Newsom and accusing Republicans of wanting to steal seats. Yet California is one of the most, if not the most, gerrymandered state in the country. And Barack Obama wants you to think that it's the Republicans that are trying to steal the election? We gotta say, "Whoa."

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 14, 2025.  0:30 When is a peace plan not a peace plan? When Joe Biden and Antony Blinken try to take credit for one. We break down the White House’s response to the recent Gaza ceasefire and why President Trump’s strength and clarity paved the way for real progress—while Biden’s foreign policy blunders left chaos in their wake. From Afghanistan to Israel, from Operation Warp Speed to diplomatic déjà vu, we dive into the pattern of political plagiarism from the Biden administration.  9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  President Trump awarded the Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk, a month and a half after his assassination in Utah. Maine's Governor, Democrat Janet Mills announced she's running for U.S. Senate. The man accused of firebombing the Pennsylvania Governor's Mansion pled guilty to attempted murder today and 22 counts of arson. 12:30 Get Brain Reward from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We unpack the escalating persecution of Christians in Nigeria and China—atrocities that the mainstream media refuses to confront. From the daily slaughter of believers by Islamist militants in Nigeria to China’s state-sanctioned rewriting of the Bible, faith itself is under global assault. 16:30 Plus, Chelsea Clinton has a podcast — but should she? We ask the American Mamas— Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson— for their take.  The Mamas dive into a clip from Clinton’s show — a slow, meandering discussion about “misinformation” and vaccines — and they can’t help but wonder if anyone’s still awake by the end. Is Clinton's podcast a breakthrough or just another echo from inside the same political bubble?  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We discuss America’s snack obsession — and the news that Frito-Lay is phasing out artificial dyes from classics like Doritos and Cheetos.  26:00 “No Kings” rallies are back, but it's not quite clear who's funding them. We Dig Deep into just how “grassroots” these rallies really are — and who’s footing the bill. From recycled George Floyd-era protest tactics to reports of bail funds and arson chatter, the movement isn’t about rejecting monarchy at all — it’s about rejecting democracy. But the timing may be the biggest twist: internal documents suggest Democrats could be prolonging the government shutdown just long enough to stage-manage these rallies, complete with furloughed federal workers as props. 32:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 From fighter jets to fentanyl — the new “Top Gun” has gone rogue. Ukraine’s “Kill House Academy,” a so-called Top Gun school for drone warfare, is attracting an unexpected kind of recruit: members of Latin American drug cartels. We break down how this unholy alliance between wartime innovation and cartel ambition could reshape the battlefield — and the border. 36:00 Plus, Young George Washington, the upcoming Angel Studios film, is premiering just in time for the nation's 250th birthday, and that's a Bright Spot. Featuring an all-star cast including Ben Kingsley, Mary-Louise Parker, Kelsey Grammer, and Andy Serkis, it might just be the patriotic movie America needs right now.  40:30 Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are admitting it: Donald Trump earned respect. After Trump’s decisive approach to Middle East diplomacy, even his biggest critics are saying, "Whoa."  42:30 And we finish off with a basketball team with integrity, even when it means losing.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio    

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 14, 2025.  0:30 A federal judge has ruled that President Trump cannot deploy the National Guard to defend ICE facilities from violent attacks. What happens when unelected judges can stop a president from protecting federal property and law enforcement officers? 10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  President Trump is in the Middle East to oversee the implementation of the first steps of his peace agreement. President Trump ordered Sec. of War Pete Hegseth to pay the troops even though Democrats in Congress have shut down the government. The Trump administration has cut 20% of the workforce of the Department of Education. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

As the media celebrates these unions as a modern evolution of love, we have to ask: Is this genuine commitment, or a social experiment built on identity labels? 16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the emotional videos of Israeli hostages being reunited with their families — scenes of joy, relief, and divine grace that have moved millions around the world. The Mamas reflect on the faith, perseverance, and leadership that made these reunions possible, giving thanks to God and recognizing the unlikely figures — from President Trump to Jared Kushner — who helped open the door to peace. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:30 We tackle the latest internet chatter surrounding Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and the Middle East — including wild claims that the former president wants to turn Gaza into a luxury resort lined with Trump hotels. Is there truth to it, or just more conspiracy fuel? 26:30 We Dig Deep into Katie Porter’s latest political missteps and what they mean for her gubernatorial ambitions in California. From a tense interview where she threatened to walk out, to resurfaced videos of her berating staffers, we analyze how Porter’s abrasive reputation is affecting her standing with voters. We also explore the double standards in political coverage—how media perception can differ based on gender—and what her history of anger management issues might mean for her future in politics. 32:00 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 Representative Ilhan Omar has endorsed Somali-American candidate Omar Fateh for mayor of Minneapolis — a self-described democratic socialist. We unpack what this endorsement reveals about the shifting political landscape in Minnesota, and how decades of demographic and cultural changes have shaped the city’s identity. 36:00 We take a look at Marco Rubio’s tenure as Secretary of State and  his transformation from political rival to key diplomat in the Trump administration. We discuss his approach to America First foreign policy, his effectiveness compared to historical Secretaries of State like Thomas Jefferson, James Baker, and George Marshall, and contrast him with recent officeholders. 40:30 Speaker Mike Johnson took to the microphone today, declaring what he says many Americans already feel — that the Democratic Party has lost its direction. Even a couple of Democrats are straying from the main message and saying, “Whoa!”  42:00 And we finish off with some words of wisdom from Chirstopher Columbus.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 10, 2025.  0:30 We respond to a wave of chilling incidents that expose how violent rhetoric is spilling out of politics and onto our streets and campuses. From the horrific threat mailed to commentator Benny Johnson and flyers distributed at Georgetown University mocking Charlie Kirk's death to Jay Jones' disturbing text messages where he fantasized about shooting a GOP leader. Normalizing threats and celebrating violence erodes democratic debate, endangers everyday people, and invites escalation — and we challenge public figures, media, and institutions to condemn violence plainly and without excuses.  9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Federal workers are being laid off as the government shutdown entered its 10th day. Dominion voting Systems has been bought by Republican Scott Leiendecker. A Virginia man has been arrested for threatening to kill a Republican member of the State Legislature and his children. 12:30 Get Brain Reward from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We break down President Trump’s decision to raise tariffs on Chinese goods from 30% to 100%, a massive escalation in the ongoing trade and technology standoff with Beijing. 16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that hits home for many conservative parents: “Dear Mamas, we’re conservative. Our grown children have bought into the leftist nonsense full force. Help!” The Mamas dive deep into the emotional struggle of watching children abandon their family’s values and faith, and they remind listeners that while the world may divide us politically, faith, love, and prayer can bridge any gap.

While her courage is praised, we question why the Nobel Committee overlooked the tangible peace achievements credited to Trump. 32:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

The group being targeted is the one promoting open dialogue and free expression — and one of the loudest voices supporting the ban is reportedly an associate professor of Christianity. 36:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From the Nobel Peace Prize and the cease fire between Israel and Hamas, to Jeffrey Epstein, Vladimir Putin, and even paragliding into a campaign event, can you spot the fake news?

We dive into President Trump’s declaration that “It’s Columbus Day, period. End of story.”, pushing back on efforts to rebrand it as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. 16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a listener question: What's wrong with Portland? From Antifa protests and ICE riots to a surprising personal story from inside the city, the mamas explore how Portland became a symbol of far-left activism — and why that image may be starting to shift.  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We break down the latest in the New York City mayor’s race, focusing on Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani and his sweeping campaign promises — from freezing rent and city-owned grocery stores to fare-free public transit and a $30 minimum wage. The discussion explores how these policies could reshape New York’s economy and why critics say they would push the city further toward socialism. 25:30 We sit down with Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee for mayor of New York City and founder of the Guardian Angels, to talk about his decades-long fight to restore public safety and common sense to the Big Apple. Sliwa shares his firsthand experience patrolling the streets since the 1970s, reflects on how civic education has vanished from schools, and warns against the rise of socialist “free everything” policies championed by his opponent. From tackling fare evasion and crime to restoring accountability and respect for law enforcement, Sliwa lays out his vision for a safer, more responsible New York. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 We react toTrevor Noah’s controversial comments about the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, calling out the growing hypocrisy in how the media and political elites treat violence across the aisle. They discuss how the mainstream left excuses cruelty when aimed at conservatives, why true compassion requires consistency, and what this moment says about America’s cultural divide. 36:30 Plus, a new Harvard Harris poll shows rising approval ratings for Republicans, and that's a Bright Spot. We break down the latest approval ratings showing Charlie Kirk (+16) and Erica Kirk (+14) leading the nation, with Republicans dominating the only positive approval scores in America. Meanwhile, Democrats — and even Vladimir Putin — sink to the bottom. What’s driving the divide? We dig into why Americans are rallying behind authentic leaders who take a stand, not politicians who chase headlines. From RFK Jr. to Mike Johnson, it’s about conviction over calculation, and why voters are tired of finger-to-the-wind politics. 40:30 We react to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s controversial response when asked whether an undocumented immigrant who committed a violent crime should be deported. Johnson’s refusal to answer will make you say, "Whoa!"  42:30 And we finish off with a couple's vacation to Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio

We are broadcasting to you from the studios of AM970 The Answer from the Salem Media Network in New York City.  0:30 We dive into New York’s rising socialist movement and the mayoral ambitions of Zoran Mamdani, the self-proclaimed “Democratic Socialist” candidate who wants to freeze rents, eliminate the NYPD, and replace them with a Department of Community Safety. We break down how Mamdani’s proposals — from city-owned grocery stores to free public transit — would reshape the economy, housing, and public safety across the five boroughs. From rent control’s failed history to the growing theft crisis in New York pharmacies, we explore what happens when ideology replaces practicality — and why capitalism and personal responsibility remain essential to America’s success. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  James Comey, the former head of the FBI, pled not guilty today in a court in Alexandria, Virginia. Republicans in the US Senate were able to pass through more than 100 confirmations for President Trump's administraton.

The mamas unpack why this celebrity breakup has struck a chord with so many fans and explore the deeper issues behind high-profile relationships. From balancing fame and family to the emotional toll of on-screen intimacy and time apart, the conversation turns candid and relatable. Are Hollywood marriages doomed by distance and demanding careers?

Paul says tariffs are “killing” industries like family farming, bourbon production, and cargo transport, but we take a deeper look at whether that pain is temporary — and perhaps even necessary. Are tariffs the economic medicine America needs after decades of free trade deals that hollowed out U.S. manufacturing? 26:30 We Dig Deep into new revelations about Joe Biden’s corruption during his time as vice president — and the media’s continued silence about it. Leaked and recently declassified emails suggest that Biden intervened to suppress a CIA report that detailed his 2015 trip to Ukraine — the same trip where he allegedly pressured officials to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma, the energy company tied to his son, Hunter Biden. We break down what the CIA called “evidence of a double standard” in U.S. corruption policy and how Biden’s actions may have crossed the line from politics to personal gain. 32:30 Go to vni.life/AGR today and use the code AGR20 for 20% off of NSorb.  33:30 After receiving a street pamphlet calling to “End the Chinese Communist Party,” we discuss the dangers of communism, both abroad and at home. From China and Cuba to New York City’s own socialist mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani, the hosts argue that communism destroys prosperity, freedom, and human potential — replacing opportunity with control and equality with enforced poverty. 36:30 Plus, the iconic Sharpie marker is now made almost entirely in the USA, thanks to a major investment by Newell Brands in their Tennessee manufacturing plant, and that's a Bright Spot.  This isn’t just about a pen. It’s about American craftsmanship, self-reliance, and proving that Made in the USA still pays off. We break down how Sharpie’s story symbolizes a broader shift toward onshoring — as more companies rediscover the value of investing in American workers instead of outsourcing abroad. 40:30 And we finish off with a dog that will make you say, "Whoa!"  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio

This is the full show for October 7, 2025.  0:30 We kick off today's episode with rising threats against the U.S. Supreme Court and the erosion of respect for law and order. From the near-assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh to President Biden’s past comments on court reform, we trace a dangerous trend of intimidation against the judiciary and warn what’s at stake for the Constitution itself. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  President Trump sent in the California National Guard into Portland to help restore law and order.  The US Supreme Court began it's 2025-2026 session today. Texas Congressman Wesley Hunt is running for Senate. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

Despite critics calling him too soft, Johnson delivered a calm “master class” in conservative conviction—standing on principle, not personality. We unpack how Speaker Johnson’s quiet strength and fact-based approach are reshaping the tone in Washington and frustrating Democrats who want political theater over progress. 16:00 Who’s wearing the Cringe Crown this week? Our American Mamas—Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson—hand out their signature award for the week’s most awkward, out-of-touch moments in politics and pop culture. This time, the whole Left takes the crown after a meme war gone wrong. From Trump’s viral sombrero meme to Hakeem Jeffries’ attempted comeback and Gavin Newsom’s painfully unfunny JD Vance edit, the Mamas break down why conservative humor hits while leftist memes fall flat. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 A New Jersey-bound flight takes a bizarre turn after an unhinged passenger—wearing twelve face masks—starts shouting that “gay people are giving me cancer” and “Trump is here.” On today’s American Ground Radio, we talk about how incidents like this point to a much deeper problem in America: our growing mental health crisis. 26:30 Leaked text messages reveal Democrat candidate Jay Jones joked about murdering the Republican Speaker of the House and wishing harm on his wife and children. Even more disturbing—Jones admitted to sending the texts, and yet Democrat leaders are still standing by him. We Dig Deep the moral decay behind this story, ask why the media isn’t holding Jones accountable, and draw a stark contrast between real leadership and political extremism. 32:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has declared his city an “ICE-free zone,” effectively banning federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from operating in Chicago. But can a mayor really defy federal law? 36:00 Plus, we will be joining an all-star lineup for the New York City Mayor’s Race Town Hall, hosted by Salem Media Group and streaming live on Eventbrite. This upcoming mayoral election could shape politics nationwide—especially as progressive candidate Mamdani pushes radical ideas like city-run grocery stores and legalized prostitution. We explain why New York’s political direction matters far beyond city limits and what it means for America’s financial and cultural future.  40:30 We dive into the latest twist in U.S. foreign policy — former President Donald Trump’s surprising announcement that he plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and may consider sending long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. President Trump seems to be onto Putin, and when he uses his “you treat me badly, I'll treat you worse than could possibly imagine” policy, Putin's gonna say, "Whoa."  42:30 And we finish off with a local cook who checked in on a regular customer and saved his life.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio  

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 3, 2025.  0:30 A federal judge just handed down a major ruling striking at the heart of executive overreach — declaring that Presidents Obama and Biden violated federal law by imposing indefinite bans on offshore drilling without approval from Congress. In this episode of American Ground Radio, we unpack what this means for energy independence, Louisiana jobs, and the constitutional limits of presidential power. We take a look at how Barack Obama’s sweeping offshore drilling ban — later reinstated by Joe Biden — bypassed Congress under the guise of “climate change,” and how Judge James Cain of Louisiana just called both administrations out for it. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  President Trump is giving the terror group Hamas until Sunday to accept his mideast peace deal. Zohran Mamdani announced that if elected, he would eliminate gifted and talented program for children in New York Public schools starting in Kindergarten.

Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 For generations, Americans were told that a college degree was the golden ticket — the surest path to success and the American Dream. But is that still true today? We ask the hard question: Has higher education lost its value? We discuss how college degrees no longer guarantee opportunity, how sky-high tuition and woke campuses have transformed universities from engines of prosperity into echo chambers of ideology. And we break down recent studies showing that many graduates are struggling to find meaningful work — especially those holding degrees with little real-world value. 16:30 We ask the American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — if they are cancelling their Netflix. After Elon Musk called on families to cancel Netflix subscriptions, the Mamas break down the controversy surrounding children’s cartoons that include explicit or confusing sexual themes, including a recent animated show that has sparked outrage. We discuss how parents are fighting back by choosing classic, wholesome programming from the ’90s and early 2000s — and how Hollywood’s obsession with “representation” is crossing the line into social engineering for kids.  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We dive into the latest New York Times poll showing that a majority of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants—a stance long championed by President Donald Trump. From law enforcement to immigration policy, we unpack what this means for the ongoing debate over border security, government enforcement, and public opinion versus political narratives. 25:30 We Dig Deep into escalating Antifa violence in Portland and the troubling response—or lack thereof—from local authorities. Independent journalist Nick Sorter reports being arrested after intervening in an act of flag burning, while Antifa agitators go uncharged. Another journalist, Katie Davis Corp, was violently attacked but the assailant was released by police. ICE officials confirm that local law enforcement often fails to respond effectively, citing political and legal constraints. Attorney General Pam Bondi has now launched a criminal investigation into Portland police practices for potential civil rights abuses. Stand your ground on American Ground Radio. Call us. Text us.

Upon trying to enter to pray, he was initially prevented because several Muslims were using the space for prayer and was later offered a chair in the back and asked to remove his shoes. We discuss this situation and the importance of mutual respect for religious freedom in shared spaces. 36:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From Rosie O'Donnell's therapist and AOC bartending, to Hakeem Jeffries memes, the government shutdown, and even an invite from the Pope to Arnold Schwarzenegger, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on our Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio.  40:30 We discuss breaking news about Hamas agreeing to a deal — negotiated by President Trump — to release the remaining hostages from the October 7, 2023 terror attack on Israel. Hamas has agreed to release hostages before, but President Trump is holding them accountable this time. And if they don't agree to all of it by Sunday at 6 p.m., they need to be saying, "Whoa."  42:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about smaller government.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio Links:  "Hamas has been a ruthless and violent threat, for many years, in the Middle East" Zohran Mamdani Proposes Ending Gifted and Talented Program in NYC Elementary Schools "#BREAKING: In a letter to city leaders & the mayor, the CharMeck FOP is requesting the National Guard be sent to #Charlotte."

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 2, 2025.  0:30 For decades, Mexico wagged its finger at the U.S., joining Democrats and open-border activists in calling Americans “racist” and “xenophobic” for wanting secure borders. But now the tables have turned. A caravan of over a thousand migrants—Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans, and more—has set its sights not on Texas, but on Mexico City. We break down the irony: migrants demanding jobs, housing, and welfare in Mexico after years of Mexico enabling caravans to march north through their country. From remittance dollars fueling Mexico’s economy to the cartels profiting from human misery, we explain why Mexico is now paying the price for decades of exporting illegal immigration. 9:55 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  The Federal Government Shutdown continued today, and may continue through the weekend. The National Guard is helping police arrest dozens of criminals in Memphis, Tennessee. Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien accused of human trafficking who was falsely called a Maryland Dad by the media has lost his final appeal in court. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 This week, CNN did something it never seems to do to Democrats: it cut off House Speaker Mike Johnson live on air—right as he was explaining why the government shut down. Johnson was accusing Senate Democrats of rejecting a “clean” continuing resolution and demanding taxpayer-funded health care for illegal immigrants. CNN quickly interrupted him, “fact-checking” the claim in real time and moving back to its New York studio. When was the last time CNN cut off Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi mid-sentence to “correct” them?  16:30 We ask the American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about the leftist who refused to hire a man because he support President Donald Trump. The Mamas to the viral video of the Texas business owner who proudly declared he would never hire a Trump supporter, and they unpack his claims about “resisting oppression,” refusing service, and comparing conservative beliefs to hate speech. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We pull back the curtain on the Hollywood–Wall Street complex — the entertainment elites who believe they can flood your living room with leftist propaganda without consequence. We zero in on Netflix, the streaming giant that's pushing inappropriate, hyper-edgy content and even “grooming” kids with shows aimed at very young audiences. Netflix is losing customers and their stock is plummeting.  26:00 We Dig Deep into the ongoing government shutdown and the real reason behind it that big media doesn’t want you to know. While CNN, MSNBC, and other outlets insist Democrats aren’t pushing healthcare for illegal immigrants, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report tells a very different story. 32:30 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off.

Why has the Vatican has embraced climate alarmism and political rhetoric instead of focusing on faith and scripture? 36:40 The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) passed a resolution calling for more civility in political rhetoric, and that's a Bright Spot. The resolution warns that incendiary language from elected officials and community leaders has fueled violence against law enforcement, government officials, and the public.  40:30 Plus, students gathered for a massive revival at the University of Tennessee that will make you say, "Whoa!"  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio  

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 1, 2025.  0:30 In a massive Illinois ICE operation called Operation Midway Blitz, over 800 illegal alien criminals were arrested in one coordinated sweep.These weren’t first-time visa overstays. We’re talking about gang members, drug traffickers, sexual predators, and violent offenders—people no community should be forced to live next to. Yet, thanks to Illinois’ sanctuary policies, these criminals were shielded from removal until federal agents stepped in. We break down the operation and why the stakes are so high for Americans and our safety.  9:44 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  Democrats voted to shut down the Federal Government last night, repeatedly voting against passing a continuing resolution to keep the government funded through November 7th. The Trump administration is suing LA County in California for violating the 2nd Amendment. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services department announced the results of Operation Twin Shield. 12:30 Get Brain Reward from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We unpack the new American Pope's criticism of President Donald Trump where he suggested that enforcing immigration laws is somehow at odds with being pro-life. We also dive into the controversy surrounding the Archdiocese of Chicago honoring Senator Dick Durbin, a Catholic politician who openly supports abortion, with a “lifetime achievement award.” 16:30 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about parents who put their kids in travel sports. Are they just living vicariously through their kids? Our American Mamas say there’s a lot more to the story. From the sacrifices families make, to the friendships built on the road, to the competitive edge required just to make a Texas high school team, travel sports can be a pathway to scholarships, memories, and life lessons. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 In Memphis, President Trump has deployed the National Guard alongside federal agents—working with Tennessee’s Republican Governor Bill Lee—to crack down on violent crime. Within just 48 hours, the operation led to 53 arrests and 20 illegal guns seized.  But instead of welcoming the results, Democrats remain silent—or outright protest. Why? We break down why the left won’t credit Trump’s actions, the political games behind crime and safety, and how real families in Memphis are the ones who stand to benefit. 26:45 New voter registration data from Decision Desk HQ reveals a stunning shift: since Election Day last year, over 2.1 million names have been purged from U.S. voter rolls. We Dig Deep into what the numbers really mean, why voter roll maintenance matters, and how the push for automatic registration could be fueling fraudulent enrollments. We also examine why Democrats resist voter ID laws, the risks to election integrity, and how trust in the system erodes when the numbers don’t add up. 32:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 The Biden-era green agenda just took a major hit — and it’s Democrats’ own fault. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has announced the cancellation of $8 billion in green energy funding, wiping out a huge chunk of what critics call “slush funds for climate activists.” Democrats refused to pass a continuing resolution, betting that a government shutdown would hurt Republicans and President Trump politically. Instead, OMB Director Russ Vought wielded the budget axe — and the cuts landed squarely on the Green New Deal. 36:35 Plus, having a sense of purpose may protect your brain health, and that's a Bright Spot. In new study in the Journal of Geriatric Psychology, researchers found that people who felt their lives had meaning were less likely to develop dementia or Alzheimer’s even if they carried the APOE4 gene, a major risk factor. 40:30 Massive immigration raids are underway in Chicago, and former ICE Director Tom Homan says the strategy is simple: target the cities that resist federal immigration enforcement the most. From Los Angeles to Chicago, so-called “sanctuary cities” have become magnets for illegal immigration, gangs, and crime—and Tom Homan is saying "Whoa!"  42:30 And we finish off with a school community who came together to support their school's security guard.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio Links: Trump Admin Official Says Government Shutdown an Opportunity for Mass Layoffs https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1973080318631432651 USCIS Announces Results of Operation Twin Shield, a Large-Scale Immigration Fraud Investigation Democrats Lose Over 1.3 Million Voters Since 2024 Election Life Purpose Lowers Risk for Cognitive Impairment in a United States Population-Based Cohort Living With Purpose May Protect Your Brain From Dementia, Shows Huge New Study  

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for September 30, 2025.  0:30 We break down Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s address to military leadership. Calling it “another liberation day,” Hegseth declared an end to DEI mandates and political correctness in the armed forces—reminding us that America needs warriors prepared to win wars, not generals bogged down by woke ideology. 9:48 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.  President Trump announced a deal with Pfizer that is expected to lower some drug costs for Americans. YouTube has agreed to pay millions of dollars to settle a lawsuit by President Trump.

He had been voting illegally in Maryland while running a school district in Iowa. How does someone with his background pass vetting for such a high-profile position?  16:44 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about their baseline happiness. And they share how their upbringing helps them stay optimistic even when life gets difficult.  If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:05 We talk about the announcement of President Trump’s new presidential library in Miami, Florida—set to be built next to the historic Freedom Tower, often called the “Ellis Island of the South.” We explore the symbolism of that location, the history of the tower as a beacon for Cuban exiles fleeing Castro’s regime, and the unique way this library will be funded. 25:36 We Dig Deep into a jaw-dropping story about stolen electronics, cross-country chases, and truck drivers with driver’s licenses that literally read “No Name Given.” From California to New York, blue states are issuing commercial driver’s licenses — even REAL IDs — to people with incomplete or fraudulent identities, and those drivers are hitting America’s highways. We break down how this happens, why it’s dangerous, and what it means for border security, state sovereignty, and the rule of law. 32:01 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:40 We look at the increasingly volatile role Candace Owens is playing in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Owens has publicly questioned whether video evidence in the case has been doctored, claiming she’s spoken with the suspect’s family and that there are inconsistencies in the publicly released footage. Is she raising legitimate doubts—or fueling conspiracy without proof? 36:33 Plus, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called in the top generals and admirals from all over the world for a conference to tell them it's time to shape up, and that's a Bright Spot. Hegseth made it clear: it’s time to raise the bar on physical readiness, enforce real height and weight standards, and hold leaders accountable to the same fitness expectations as new recruits.  40:41 American support for Israel is plummeting, but it remains largely steady among Republicans. The Democrat party as a whole is becoming more pro-Hamas, and at some point we just have to say, "Whoa!"  42:23 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about excellence.  Follow us:  americangroundradio.com Facebook: facebook.com / AmericanGroundRadio Instagram: instagram.com/americangroundradio
