You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 28, 2026. 

We open with major breaking news — federal authorities raided more than 20 locations in Minneapolis as part of a massive crackdown on childcare fraud tied to fake businesses that billed the government for kids who didn't exist, meals that were never served, and facilities that couldn't have provided care even if they'd wanted to. We dig into how this fraud was made possible, why Tim Walz's administration silenced whistleblowers who were sounding the alarm years ago, why Ilhan Omar's legislation created the incentives that made it all possible, and why the fraud wasn't just tolerated — it may have been the point. We also connect this to a broader pattern: when illegal immigration was rampant under Biden, it wasn't incompetence. When childcare fraud ran into the billions, it wasn't incompetence. The policy was the policy.

In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted again — this time over a social media post featuring seashells arranged in the shape of 86-47, where 86 is slang for kill and 47 refers to the 47th president. Comey claims he didn't know 86 would be taken as a threat. Then a former advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci has been indicted for intentionally concealing federal documents about COVID-19 research — including allegedly working to secretly restore a federal grant on bat virus research after the COVID lab leak theory gained credibility, and then destroying all evidence of those communications on government devices. And federal agents executed raids on 20 locations across Minneapolis tied to the childcare fraud investigation — carrying out boxes of files while investigators say billions of dollars in federal aid was stolen by fake businesses.

Our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to take on Jimmy Kimmel's joke that Melania Trump has the glow of an expectant widow — delivered on the Friday night before an armed man tried to make that a reality at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. We lay out the Kimmel defense, Melania's response demanding ABC take a stand, and why the double standard is as clear as it gets. Roseanne Barr was canceled within 48 hours for a tweet. Shane Gillis was fired from SNL before his first episode for an old joke. Chris Harrison lost a 20-year career for defending a sorority girl. Jimmy Kimmel dressed in blackface, calls the president a pedophile on national television, jokes about the First Lady becoming a widow — and George Clooney and Jake Tapper come to his defense. We also explain why Kimmel's jokes about someone he genuinely hates aren't comedy at all — they're bullying with a laugh track.

We also revisit the redistricting war — this time with updates from Virginia and Florida. The Virginia Supreme Court has now blocked the state from certifying the results of its special redistricting election while it determines whether the election itself was legitimate — and there are multiple serious legal problems with how it was conducted, including ballot language that called turning a 6-5 Democrat advantage into a 10-1 advantage restoring fairness. Meanwhile, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has called a special session to redraw Florida's congressional maps, proposing a new map that would cut the number of Florida Democrats in Congress from eight to four. We explain why DeSantis's maps are geographically compact in a way Virginia's clearly are not, and why the broader gerrymandering battle may ultimately require a constitutional amendment to resolve — if there even is a right answer.

Then we talk consumer confidence — which hit its highest point of the year in April, despite everything the media has been telling Americans to be afraid of. The Iran conflict, AI job fears, tariffs, tax day — and yet Americans are more confident about their economic prospects now than at any point this year. The manufacturing index also peaked in April. We talk about what that says about the American spirit and why the sky the media keeps pointing to stubbornly refuses to fall.

We also cover President Trump's welcoming remarks to King Charles at the White House — remarks that we call one of the most genuinely beautiful things said at a presidential event in years. Trump reminded the room that before Americans had a nation or a constitution, we had a culture and a character — and it came from Britain. We dig into why the ideas of the American Revolution were born in British Enlightenment philosophy, why the special relationship is strained right now, and what Britain would look like if it remembered who it's supposed to be.

And we close with Peter Mutabazi — a man who grew up in an abusive home in Uganda, immigrated to the United States, never married, and spent years fostering 47 different children because he never wanted another child to feel the way he felt as a boy. This month, he officially adopted a young boy named Jacob, who had spent four and a half years in the foster care system. Being adopted is more than a milestone — it's the beginning of a lifetime of belonging, security, and unconditional love. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
