You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 21, 2026. 

0:30 At the World Economic Forum in Davos, President Trump didn’t bring chaos — he brought a masterclass in power diplomacy. While critics panicked over talk of Greenland and tariffs, Trump laid out a clear, strategic vision focused on national security, Arctic dominance, and America First economics.

Trump made headlines by reaffirming U.S. interest in Greenland, not through force, but through negotiation and leverage, calming markets and shifting the global conversation. With Russia expanding Arctic bases and China claiming “near-Arctic” status, the message was unmistakable: Greenland is now a key geopolitical battleground.

9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things you Need to Know: 
President Trump is backing down from his threat of increasing tariffs on Europe over his attempt to bring Greenland into the United States.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is launching a new operation, this time in Maine. 
Former NFL Sideline Reporter Michelle Tafoya is running for Senate in Minnesota.

13:00 A fiery moment in a House Homeland Security hearing is making waves after Rep. Delia Ramirez launched an emotional attack on ICE and immigration enforcement. Claiming agents are “kidnapping” and “disappearing” people, Ramirez accused DHS of carrying out Trump’s so-called mass deportation agenda — but the speech was less about facts and more about political theater.

The real controversy? Ramirez openly identifying herself as a “proud Guatemalan” while serving in the U.S. Congress, sparking backlash over national loyalty, immigration policy, and what it means to put America first. We dive into the growing tension over illegal immigration, border enforcement, ICE funding, and identity politics, asking a blunt question: should elected officials represent the United States — or another country?

16:00 How much freedom is too much for kids in today’s world? Our American Mamas Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle one of the biggest parenting debates head-on — from “free-range parenting” to strict boundaries, screen time, and discipline.

They swap real-life stories about monitoring kids’ phones, discovering porn at school, spanking as a last resort, and why being your child’s best friend might actually backfire. We break down modern parenting styles — authoritative vs permissive vs authoritarian — and asks the question every parent is wrestling with in the age of smartphones and social media: Are today’s kids overprotected, or is the world just too dangerous to take risks anymore?

23:00 For years, Americans were told mass immigration was necessary because “citizens won’t do the work.” There's plenty of work for Americans to do but AI might just replace white-collar workers.

According to Palantir CEO Alex Karp, artificial intelligence is about to wipe out huge swaths of office and middle-management roles, while blue-collar and trade jobs are set to explode. From manufacturing and refineries to supply chains and skilled labor, the conversation makes the case that America’s future depends on vocational training, domestic industry, and bringing production back home.

26:00 On the one-year anniversary of President Trump’s return to office, we break down what a historic first year — and why media coverage looks completely different depending on who’s writing the headline.

From border security and mass deportations to tariff wars, manufacturing jobs, and shrinking the federal bureaucracy, we walk through Trump’s biggest policy wins: cutting the trade deficit, expanding domestic energy production, ending DEI programs, and keeping the 2017 tax cuts alive. Trump didn’t just reverse Biden-era policies — he reshaped global trade, government spending, and U.S. energy strategy in just 12 months.

Love him or hate him, the verdict here is clear: Trump’s first year back is one of the most aggressive and transformative presidencies in modern American politics — with year two already promising even bigger battles ahead.

32:30 After watching yet another viral clip from The View, we hit their breaking point — this time over Whoopi Goldberg calling for the 25th Amendment against President Trump because she claimed he “didn’t seem energetic enough” at Davos.

We tear into her total misunderstanding of the Constitution, arguing the 25th Amendment isn’t a “vibe check,” but a safeguard for real incapacitation — not political dislike. 

It's pure Democratic projection, accusing the media of inventing narratives about Trump’s stamina while ignoring years of covering up Biden’s decline. The verdict: this isn’t about mental fitness — it’s about politics, optics, and a media class that’s run out of real arguments.

36:30 Was buying Alaska from Russia the greatest real estate deal in world history? We revisit the infamous 1867 purchase — mocked at the time as “Seward’s Folly” — and explain why it turned into one of the smartest geopolitical and economic moves America ever made.

From gold and oil discoveries to Cold War military strategy, Alaska didn’t just pay for itself — it reshaped U.S. power on the global stage. And then comes the modern twist: if Alaska was once laughed at and later hailed as genius, Greenland could be the next great American acquisition — a bold move that today’s critics may someday call visionary.

39:30 Nike is facing major backlash after unveiling its new “Honor the King” sneaker tied to Martin Luther King Jr.We discuss  the corporate commodification of MLK, arguing that Dr. King was a moral leader, not a marketing brand or lifestyle aesthetic.

And we finish off with a volunteer fire fighter who will make you say, "Whoa!"
