    Trump Puts Maduro's Funding Streams in a Chokehold

    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 at yet 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.

    13:00 Meta is now claiming its “enforcement mistakes” have dropped by 90% — a number the hosts say tells you everything you need to know about what was really happening before. 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.

    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.

    32:30 We revisit a once-dominant figure in late-night television and argue that David Letterman’s legacy has curdled with age. 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."

    Teen Football Players Arrested for Shoplifting - How Holding People Accountable Prevents Crime

    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.

    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.

    23:00 We dig into a growing crisis unfolding in Minnesota — one that isn’t just about numbers, but about what happens when immigration policy collides with economic reality. 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.

    32:30 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!"

    ICE Nativity Scene - A Massachusetts Church Bends Scripture into Political Propoganda

    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.

    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?

    32:30 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.

    Strip the Trump Name Off The Policies, and Suddenly Even the Left Is In Favor of Them

    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.

    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.

    32:30 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.

    With "Drill Baby Drill," Trump Saved AI Industry from being Overtaken by China

    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.

    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.

    32:30 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.

    Socialism Has Always Failed; It Can Never Succeed

    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.

    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.

    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.

    32:30 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.

    Immigrants Should Join American Society Not Replace It : Somali Immigrant Fraud

    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.

    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.

    32:30 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.

    Drug Cartels Kill Thousands but Democrats are Opposed to Stopping Them

    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.

    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.

    32:30 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."

    AI Toys: Facial Recognition, Location Tracking, and Dangerous Advice

    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.

    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.

    President Trump is Firing Kash Patel? - Why Americans Don't Trust Legacy Media

    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.

    32:30 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."

    Fake MAGA X Accounts Stir Up Republican Infighting

    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.

    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?

    32:30 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.
