You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 8, 2026. 

We open with a topic that has every hardworking American taxpayer's blood boiling — the Department of Justice is now officially calling fraud in America a crisis, and a new National Fraud Enforcement Division is being stood up to fight it. We dig into what's been uncovered in Minnesota and California, why COVID supercharged what was likely already a decades-long problem, and whether the scope of what we don't yet know might dwarf what we've already found.

Then our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to weigh in on one of the most interesting fault lines opening up on the right right now — what happened to the conservative commentators who used to have Trump's back? Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan, Candace Owens — they've all turned sharply critical over the Iran operation. We get into why Teri thinks some of them are panicking, why others may have personal reasons for their opposition, and what Dave Rubin's take on Trump's negotiation playbook gets exactly right. Pressure, escalation, chaos, then a deal. We've seen this movie before.

We also dig into the Justice Department's decision to investigate Cassidy Hutchinson — the former White House aide who testified before Congress that President Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of the presidential limo on January 6th. We debate whether this investigation is long overdue justice or too little too late, and whether anyone from that era is actually going to be held accountable.

In our Digging Deep segment, we break down the Senate battlefield for this year's midterms. The Senate Leadership Fund just dropped a massive $342 million ad buy across eight battleground states. We walk through the races in Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio, North Carolina, Maine, and Iowa — where Republicans are playing offense, where they're playing defense, and where we think seats could actually flip. The money is enormous, but as we dig into, a message that doesn't resonate can't be bought.

For our Bright Spot, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking on Sharia law tribunals operating inside Texas, issuing subpoenas and making clear that there is one legal system in America — the Constitution. We talk about why this matters, what states have already passed American Laws for American Courts legislation, and why every blue state's silence on this issue is deafening.
