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

We open with a bombshell — the Justice Department has indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts including wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering, alleging that the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million to white supremacist and extremist groups — the very groups they claim to be fighting. We dig into what this means, why the demand for racism has always outpaced the actual supply, how organizations like the SPLC have built entire fundraising empires off a defamation map that lists Catholic charities and Turning Point USA alongside the KKK, and why it's no coincidence that this indictment came almost immediately after Pam Bondi's exit and Todd Blanche's arrival at the DOJ.

In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Florida Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned from Congress minutes before the House Ethics Committee was set to determine sanctions against her — after being found guilty on 25 of 27 charges for stealing COVID relief money and funneling it into her own campaign. Then the House Judiciary Committee released a preliminary report on ActBlue showing that two employees took the Fifth 146 times in depositions, and that ActBlue deliberately weakened its own fraud prevention protocols twice in the run-up to the 2024 election — after which it reported record fundraising, including from donors in Brazil, Colombia, Iraq, Jordan, Myanmar, and Saudi Arabia. And Virginia voters are deciding whether to adopt a new congressional map drawn by Democrats to give them a 10-to-1 advantage in a state that votes Democrat by about 55% — not 90%.

Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson respond to a viral clip of UCLA football coach Bob Chesney asking his players if they know the name of the man who makes their omelets — and why every person on the support staff deserves to be known by name. We talk about what it says about a person's character when they take the time to learn the names of people who serve them, why Teri's father used restaurant behavior as a business litmus test, and what it means that people who have worked in the Trump White House consistently say he knows not just their names but their kids' names and how their family is doing.

In our Digging Deep segment, newly declassified documents obtained by Just the News reveal that U.S. intelligence warned in January 2020 that foreign adversaries had the capability to compromise America's voting infrastructure — and that both China and Iran did in fact penetrate voter registration databases in multiple states before the 2020 election. That information was suppressed until November 2021. When President Trump ordered it released in November 2020, the CIA refused the direct order. China didn't just hack the databases — they registered fake voters and sent fake IDs from China to match those registrations. We talk about what that means for the narrative that 2020 was the most secure election in American history, why losing trust in elections causes people to stop voting, and what has to happen before this country can restore confidence in its own electoral system.

We also cover the Supreme Court ruling that $166 billion in tariff refunds must be issued to businesses — and point out that the consumers who actually absorbed those costs at the register will see none of it, because there was never a line-item tariff charge on your receipt.

For our Bright Spot, Alan Dershowitz — lifelong Democrat, Harvard Law professor, Brooklyn-raised Jewish-American who has been a registered Democrat for 67 years — has officially switched his registration to Republican. He wrote an op-ed in the New York Times explaining why. One reason: the Democrat Party has become, in his words, the most anti-Israel party in American history. We talk about what it means when one of the most prominent Jewish legal minds in America concludes he can no longer stay.

We also get into Miss Universe adding another biological male competitor — and ask the straightforward question of why the one competition specifically designed to celebrate women is being systematically redesigned to exclude them.

And we close with Jamie Lee Mateus, a man who is admittedly a terrible painter, whose wife posted one of his bad family portraits as a joke — and who now runs a thriving side business called Terrible Art by Jamie Lee, completing hundreds of commissions for customers around the world. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 20, 2026. 

We open with a direct response to Senator Cory Booker's declaration that what America needs is "not from on high" — and we don't mince words. When a sitting United States Senator who may be eyeing the presidency tells Americans to put their hope in themselves and their activism rather than in God, he isn't just making a political statement. He is rejecting the very foundation on which this country was built. We go to the Declaration of Independence, to Ben Franklin's speech at the Constitutional Convention, to John Adams, and to the book of Judges to explain exactly what happens to a nation where every man does what is right in his own eyes. Spoiler — it isn't good.

In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. Navy stopped an Iranian cargo ship attempting to run the blockade, warned it for six hours, fired on its engines, boarded it, and found it loaded with missile parts. Iran calls it a ceasefire violation. We call it exactly the kind of restraint that could have ended with that ship at the bottom of the ocean. Then Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO of Apple after building the company into a $4 trillion giant in the post-Steve Jobs era — and we ask the question every Apple customer is thinking. And we cover the most heartbreaking story in northwest Louisiana in recent memory — a 31-year-old man in Shreveport drove to the homes of his wife and ex-wife and shot and killed seven of his own children and one of their cousins. Both women were shot in the head and are in serious condition. We note that the Caddo Parish D.A. had previously dropped charges against this man for shooting a firearm near an elementary school.

Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle mate poaching — the growing trend of women intentionally targeting married men through emotional affairs, and the social media content that is now openly teaching other women how to do it. We talk about why emotional affairs are often more destructive than physical ones, why your spouse needs to be your best friend first, and the surprising story of the husband who came home and told his wife she needed to start going to the pharmacy — because he felt something he shouldn't have felt for the woman behind the counter.

In our Digging Deep segment, we cover two major accountability stories. Senate Republicans are moving a narrow budget reconciliation bill to fund Homeland Security, ICE, the Coast Guard, Secret Service, and TSA — bypassing the 60-vote filibuster threshold with a simple majority. We explain how reconciliation works and why it matters right now. Then we dig into the news that Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has tapped former Trump attorney Joe DeGeneva — a man we've had on our show multiple times — to lead the grand jury probe into former CIA Director John Brennan and the origins of the Russia collusion investigation. A federal grand jury in Miami has been seated since late last year. FBI Director Kash Patel told Maria Bartiromo this weekend that arrests are coming and to stay tuned this week. We talk about why accountability matters, why the pattern of selective prosecution erodes faith in the entire system, and why Pam Bondi's departure and Todd Blanche's arrival may be the turning point conservatives have been waiting for.

We also take on Bill Maher's post-Swalwell confession that Eric Swalwell always creeped him out — and ask the question nobody on the left wants to answer. Where were you when it mattered? There is no bravery in distancing yourself from someone who has already been exposed.

We cover New York City Mayor Mamdani's war on the rich — specifically the fact that the top 1% of New York City earners are already paying nearly half of all personal income tax revenue in the city — and ask how many times you can go to that well before those people simply leave.

For our Bright Spot, the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. is hosting America Reads the Bible — a seven-day continuous reading of the entire Old and New Testaments in honor of America's 250th birthday, featuring President Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Franklin Graham, and dozens more. Not a single Democrat took part. We think that tells you everything you need to know.

And we close with Principal Kirk Moore of Pauls Valley High School in Oklahoma — the man who ran out of his office, tackled a gunman, and wrestled the gun away with his bare hands, suffering the only injury of the day. This week, his students voted him king of the prom. Nickelback's Hero played as they placed the crown on his head. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 17, 2026. 

We open with a story that is equal parts political scandal and perfect metaphor — Gavin Newsom's political PAC spent $1.5 million buying 67,000 copies of his own memoir and handing them out to donors, manufacturing a bestseller label out of thin air. We break down what the FEC rules actually say, why this may or may not be legal, and why it doesn't matter — because the real story is that Gavin Newsom is exactly as artificial as this stunt suggests. A plastic politician buying his own book to build a presidential resume is not a campaign strategy. It's a confession.

In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Iran has announced it is reopening the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping — and oil prices dropped 10% worldwide within hours. We give you our honest read on whether Iran's sudden cooperation is genuine or a strategic ruse, why Trump's blockade of Iranian ports remains in place as leverage over the nuclear program, and what it means that the first ship through the newly reopened strait was a cruise ship. Then we dig into the House blocking a FISA extension — the same surveillance law the Obama administration used to spy on the Trump campaign — and why the Democrats who used it are now suddenly against it. Plus, a Soros-backed Minneapolis district attorney has issued an arrest warrant for an ICE officer who drew his weapon during a confrontation on the highway, while refusing to prosecute a single activist for weeks of violent attacks against ICE officers in that city.

Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle one of the most personal and emotionally complex questions families face — what do you do when one sibling carries the entire burden of caring for an aging parent while the others aren't showing up? We get into the difference between checking in and actually showing up, why resentment is a trap even when it's completely justified, how childhood dynamics resurface when parents need care, and why open communication may be the only thing that keeps a family from fracturing under the weight of it all.

Then we dig into a stat that should stop every American who's been told we should be more like Europe dead in their tracks. According to a study by the Institute of Economic Affairs, if Britain became the 51st state, most Brits think they'd rank seventh in GDP per capita. The reality — they'd be dead last. Below Mississippi. We walk through where Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, and most of Europe actually fall on the list, explain why open borders, green energy mandates, and free speech regulations have quietly gutted European living standards, and make the case that Europe should be trying to be more like America — not the other way around.

We also cover the Artemis II mission's spiritual aftermath — Commander Reed Wiseman, who describes himself as not a particularly religious man, immediately sought out the Navy chaplain on the rescue ship when they splashed down in the Pacific. When the chaplain walked in wearing a cross on his collar, Wiseman broke down in tears. We talk about what it means when the farthest journey from Earth any human crew has ever taken ends with a man weeping before a chaplain he'd never met.

We discuss Elon Musk's proposal for universal high-income checks funded by AI and robotics — and why, even if the robots are doing the work, universal government income is still communism. Scripture is clear. Genesis places man in the garden not to sit idle, but to tend it.

And we close out with Fairfax County, Virginia — right next to Arlington National Cemetery, 50 miles from the Pentagon — canceling Veterans Day as a school holiday while keeping Indigenous Peoples Day. We call it what it is.

And a 91-year-old woman in Westlake, Ohio didn't answer her daily wellness check call, didn't answer her family, and didn't answer the door when police knocked. Officers used the garage code to get in. They found her alive and well in her bedroom, chasing her all-time high score on a video game. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 16, 2026. 

We open with a story that should have every property owner in America paying attention — New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani is proposing an annual tax on luxury properties worth more than $5 million whose owners don't live in the city full-time. We break down why this isn't just bad policy, it's a fundamental assault on property rights. Taxing someone based on how often they use something they already own and already pay taxes on is about envy and ideology — not economics.

Then Justice Clarence Thomas gave a speech at the University of Texas School of Law commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and we dig into why it matters. Thomas made the case that progressivism — even within conservative circles — is quietly eroding the concept of natural rights. Once government becomes the source of your rights, it becomes the master of your rights. We walk through exactly what that means for free speech, religious liberty, gun ownership, and parental authority.

Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to tackle a growing trend — couples using AI to write their wedding vows. We get into whether AI-generated vows are a helpful starting point or a soulless substitute for something that should come straight from the heart, why there's no algorithm for authentic love, and what it means for the next generation when AI can write a poem so beautiful you can't tell it wasn't written by a human being.

In our Digging Deep segment, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent a cable to every U.S. Embassy around the world directing them to shift from promoting aid to promoting trade. We explain why decades of foreign aid funneled through NGOs has created dependency, inefficiency, and corruption — and in some cases, how that money found its way back into Democrat Party coffers here at home. We make the case that trade, not aid, is how you actually lift nations out of poverty, and why nothing in world history has done more of that than capitalism and free markets.

We also dig into a stunning new Gallup poll showing that young men ages 18 to 29 have now surpassed young women as the demographic most likely to say religion is very important in their lives — jumping from 28% in 2022 to 42% today. We talk about what's driving the shift, what it means that young women are simultaneously moving away from faith, and why young men returning to the church is one of the most important cultural stories nobody in big media is covering.

We also address the tragic murder-suicide involving former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax and share an important message for anyone who may be facing circumstances that feel permanent but aren't — your situation is not your identity, and what you're going through is not who you are.

And we wrap up with Germany's plan to dock worker pay starting from day one of a sick call — a radical reversal for a country where workers average 15 paid sick days a year — and what it tells us about what happens when you incentivize absence instead of productivity.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 15, 2026. 

We open with the Eric Swalwell fallout — and we go deeper than the headlines. The real question isn't whether Swalwell behaved badly. It's what did Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Democrat leadership know, and when did they know it? We dig into why a congressman this high-profile and politically useful to the Democrat Party couldn't have had these allegations swirling around him without somebody in leadership hearing something. We also compare how Democrats handled Swalwell to how Republicans handled Tony Gonzalez and George Santos — and the contrast is revealing.

Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to talk about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover. Just before the crew went into radio silence on the dark side of the moon, Glover read a Bible verse, prayed over the mission, and later told his neighbors gathered on his front lawn that God told us to be better neighbors to each other. We dig into why a scientist and astronaut openly crediting God is being largely ignored by big media, what made this Artemis crew feel different from any that came before, and why the relationship between faith and science isn't a contradiction — it's reality.

We also break down a bombshell report from the Financial Times — leaked Iranian military documents suggest that Chinese-built satellites were used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard to monitor and target American military bases during the conflict. We talk about what it means if China gave a designated terrorist organization real-time surveillance capability to use against U.S. Forces, why China's plausible deniability is wearing thinner by the day, and what this means for trade negotiations.

In our Digging Deep segment, we walk through the Rich States, Poor States annual economic outlook report, which ranks all 50 states by 15 equally weighted policy variables including tax rates, debt, regulation, and government size. We explain what the results mean for your family, your business, and your future.

We also get into Virginia joining the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact — a move by Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger that would effectively void the votes of Virginians in presidential elections and award the state's electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote. We call it what it is — an unconstitutional attempt to dismantle the Electoral College without actually amending the Constitution.

For our Bright Spot, Houston's Democrat mayor called an emergency city council meeting to repeal the city's anti-ICE cooperation ordinance after Texas Governor Greg Abbott pulled $110 million in public safety funding. We celebrate the governor for meaning business and the mayor for being smart enough to recognize that ideology is a lot less important when your police and fire departments are suddenly $110 million short.

And we close with a fifth grader named Alexander in Tyler, Texas, who was adopted by his foster family this week — with his entire fifth grade class sitting in the courtroom to cheer him on. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 14, 2026. 

We open with a big picture look at American energy dominance and why it matters right now more than ever. With 171 crude tankers heading to the Gulf of America — compared to roughly 110 in a typical month — we dig into how President Trump's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has flipped the entire global oil market on its head, why American producers are now positioned to be the world's energy lifeline, and what it means that Germany, Japan, South Korea, India, and the Philippines are all scrambling for a reliable supply that only the United States can provide right now.

Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to weigh in on the Trump AI meme controversy — the image depicting the president in a Jesus-like pose that sparked outrage from Christians and Democrats alike. We give our honest take, the Mamas give theirs, and we dig into the fascinating double standard of a left that spent decades removing God from schools, courthouses, and their own party platform suddenly discovering that blasphemy is a problem. We also get into Trump pattern recognition, why the Mamas say conservatives sometimes overreact just to prove they're not blindly loyal, and why the artist who created the image says it was never meant to depict Trump as Jesus at all.

In our Digging Deep segment, we trace the Iran nuclear crisis all the way back to one decision — Hillary Clinton's push to bomb Libya in 2011. We explain why Muammar Gaddafi's decision to give up his nuclear program in 2003 is the only time in world history a brutal dictator peacefully surrendered nuclear weapons, why Clinton's decision to bomb him eight years later sent a message to every rogue regime on the planet that giving up nukes gets you killed, and why the Iranian mullahs have been drawing exactly that lesson ever since. It's a history lesson that explains everything happening in the Strait of Hormuz right now.

We also celebrate some genuinely good economic news — the IRS reports that tax refunds are up more than 10% on average, driven by no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security. We revisit the DoorDash grandma who told President Trump that the no tax on tips provision saved her $11,000 this year, and we talk about what it means when policy actually reinforces the value that the harder you work, the further ahead you should get.

For our Bright Spot, the NRA is partnering with a group called Locks and Loaded to bring firearms training specifically to Jewish communities across America — a response to the surge in anti-Semitism and attacks on Jewish institutions. We talk about why the Temple Israel in Michigan, which had just completed self-defense training, was able to stop a violent attack before anyone was harmed, and why being prepared is not political — it's essential.

We also get into the stunning revelation from The Atlantic that it was the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement — not Joe Biden's judgment — that pushed Gretchen Whitmer out of consideration for vice president and put Kamala Harris on the ticket. And we close out with the 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction class — Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Oasis, Sade, Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan. Yes, really.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 13, 2026. 

We open with a frank and honest conversation about President Trump's controversial Truth Social post depicting him in a Jesus-like image — and we don't pull any punches. We call it what it is, explain why no human being should ever present themselves as a messiah or savior, and why it was right that Trump ultimately deleted it. But we also dig into the difference between a mistake in messaging and the substance of leadership, why faith without works is dead, and what Trump's actual policy record says about where his values really lie. It's a nuanced conversation you won't hear anywhere else.

Then our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to weigh in on the stunning and rapid collapse of California Congressman Eric Swalwell — the man who built his entire career as the moral conscience of the Democrat Party. Within 72 hours of a San Francisco paper publishing allegations from multiple women, including one former staffer who says he drugged and raped her, Swalwell dropped out of the California governor's race and resigned from Congress. We revisit his role in the Russia collusion hoax, his relationship with Chinese spy Fang Fang, his use of campaign funds to pay what is reportedly an illegal immigrant nanny, and ask the question — was any of this actually a surprise to the people around him?

We also dig into Elizabeth Warren's claim that Amazon essentially bribed Melania Trump with a $40 million documentary deal. We point out that the Melania documentary was one of the highest-grossing documentaries in the last 20 years, and ask why media deals are only corrupt when the wrong people get them.

In our Digging Deep segment, newly declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard reveal that the primary whistleblower in Trump's first impeachment was not a neutral government employee — he was a Democrat operative who had already been in contact with Adam Schiff's office before filing his report, lied on the official whistleblower form, and had direct ties to Peter Strzok, the FBI agent at the center of the Russia collusion investigation. We connect all the dots and make the case that the first impeachment was not just politically motivated — it was manufactured.

We also get into New York's proposed legislation to effectively ban BB guns, pellet guns, and air rifles by classifying them as imitation weapons and requiring modifications that render them completely useless. We explain why this is the same playbook used to chip away at every Second Amendment right — regulate it into uselessness and call it safety.

For our Bright Spot, President Trump ordered McDonald's through DoorDash and the driver turned out to be a grandmother who went back to work after her husband was diagnosed with cancer. She told the president she saved $11,000 this year because of the no tax on tips provision in the big beautiful bill. Trump gave her a $100 tip — which she also won't have to pay taxes on next year.

And we close out with a moment of history — 55 years ago today, April 13th, 1970, the crew of Apollo 13 first uttered the words "Houston, we have a problem." We celebrate the safe return of Artemis II and reflect on what it means to bring people home.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 10, 2026. 

We kick things off with a conversation about boldness, confidence, and what it means to expect greatness — and that leads us straight to President Trump's proposed 250-foot triumphal arch to mark America's 250th anniversary. We dig into whether this gold-emblazoned monument is the unapologetic celebration of American greatness that this country deserves, or whether an arch — historically a symbol of military conquest — is the right way to tell America's story. We land somewhere interesting, and we think you will too.

Then we go deeper into the Dignidad Act — the amnesty bill working its way through the House with 19 Republican signatures on it. The Federalist ran a piece on the eight most insane provisions buried inside this bill, and we walk through the worst of them. Lawyers get student loan forgiveness for helping illegal immigrants stay in the country. Deported aliens can come right back in. Illegal immigrants don't have to pay FICA taxes — giving their employers an unfair advantage over every business following the law. And if you're in the country illegally and get convicted of DWI, theft, fraud, assault, or domestic violence? You still get to stay. We call this what it is — amnesty on top of amnesty — and we name the Republicans who should be ashamed of themselves for signing on.

Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to break down the Rupert Murdoch documentary and what it reveals about entitlement, greed, and what money and power do to people over time. We get into why Murdoch's kids felt entitled to a fortune they didn't build, how greed changes people in Washington the same way it changes people in Hollywood, and why Trump and Elon Musk are two of the rare exceptions to the rule that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

In our Digging Deep segment, Disney quietly brought back "ladies and gentlemen" to its park greetings after dropping the phrase in 2021 in favor of "dreamers of all ages." We dig into what that reversal actually signals about where the culture is heading — and what happened to Disney's stock price in the years between.

We also respond to Jodi Foster, Ben Stiller, Spike Lee, Pedro Pascal, Madonna, and Mark Ruffalo demanding the closure of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas. We explain exactly why these celebrities have zero credibility on this issue and remind everyone what was actually happening to immigrant children during the Biden administration.

And we close out with Fake News Friday — we run through the week's wildest headlines and challenge you to sort the real from the fake. Canada's new pride acronym alone is worth tuning in for. Plus, words of wisdom about the moon in honor of the Artemis II crew safely splashing down in the Pacific Ocean tonight.

Here Are The 8 Most Insane Things In The ‘DIGNIDAD’ Amnesty Bill

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 9, 2026. 

We open with a story that should have every Trump voter picking up the phone and calling their congressman — there's an amnesty bill working its way through the House right now, and it's not just Democrats pushing it. Twenty Republicans have signed on to the Dignidad Act, a bill that would grant permanent legal work status and deportation protection to millions of illegal immigrants, including some convicted of theft, fraud, assault, and domestic violence. We break down exactly what's in it, why the name alone tells you everything, and why this feels like a betrayal of every voter who showed up in 2024 to end the border crisis.

Then our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to talk about a moment that stopped us in our tracks — Melania Trump walked to the White House podium alone, faced the press corps, and told them in no uncertain terms to stop lying about her connection to Jeffrey Epstein. We dig into why this was unlike anything we've ever seen from a First Lady, the media outlets that were forced to publicly retract and apologize, and why Melania's call on Congress to open the Epstein files and let the victims tell their stories may be the most powerful thing to come out of that press conference.

We also weigh in on New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani's broken promise of free buses — and use it as a jumping-off point for a bigger conversation about why socialism always makes the same enormous promises and delivers the same crushing disappointments, every single time, without exception.

In our Digging Deep segment, we get into brand new Census Bureau data that tells a story the mainstream media doesn't want to touch. Americans aren't just leaving blue states for red states — they're leaving blue counties for red counties. Los Angeles County lost nearly 700,000 people last year. Cook County lost 320,000. Meanwhile, the suburbs of Dallas, Houston, Austin, and Phoenix are exploding with growth. We walk through the 10 fastest-shrinking counties and the 10 fastest-growing counties in America, and the pattern is impossible to ignore.

We also tackle the outrage over the DeCarlos Brown case — the man who stabbed a Ukrainian immigrant to death on a Charlotte train and has now been ruled mentally unfit to stand trial. We get into what the system missed, when it missed it, and why the victim deserves better than a footnote.

For our Bright Spot, a Maine parent sued his school district for refusing to let students say the Pledge of Allegiance — and won. We talk about why this matters, what we're losing when we disconnect our kids from the foundations of this country, and why one nation under God, indivisible, is worth fighting for in court if that's what it takes.

And we close out with Chris Christie calling the Republican Party morally adrift and principled — well, he used a different word — and the Artemis II astronauts' NASA wake-up playlist on Spotify, which honestly might be the most feel-good story of the week.

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 across every U.S. Attorney's office in the country to fight it. We dig into the staggering scope of what's been uncovered in Minnesota and California alone, why COVID supercharged what was likely already a decades-long problem, and ask the question nobody wants to answer — if two states produced billions in documented fraud, what are the other 48 hiding?

Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to tackle a question that hits close to home for anyone who's ever worked inside a great organization — why do companies, schools, and churches that push out their founders almost always fall apart afterward? From Steve Jobs and Apple to a magical private school in Arlington, Texas that's now closing its doors, we get into the jealousy, the greed, and the hard truth that when you extinguish the visionary, you extinguish the vision.

We also get into the Justice Department's decision to open a Civil Rights investigation into 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 is long-overdue accountability or too little too late, and we have a frank conversation about why conservatives are frustrated that nobody from that era has been held responsible for anything yet.

In our Digging Deep segment, we break down the Senate battlefield heading into this year's midterms. The Senate Leadership Fund just dropped a massive $342 million ad buy across eight battleground states. We walk through 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. Money amplifies a message, but it can't substitute for one, and we get into what that means for both parties.

We also dig into the Iran ceasefire and what's really happening with Hezbollah, Lebanon, and the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is claiming Israel's attacks on Hezbollah violate the ceasefire — but as J.D. Vance correctly pointed out, Lebanon was never part of that deal. We explain why that distinction matters and what it means for the fragile state of negotiations.

For our Bright Spot, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking on an Islamic tribunal operating outside U.S. courts and allegedly applying Sharia law to settle disputes in Texas. 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 says everything.

And we close out with the Milwaukee judge who helped an illegal immigrant with a violent criminal record escape from the courthouse — and whose conviction was just upheld on appeal. The system worked. And we close with words of wisdom from Abraham Lincoln on God, war, and the prayer that this mighty scourge may speedily pass away.

We kick things off with a story that should have every freedom-loving American paying attention — Gavin Newsom's wife Jennifer is pushing for legislation that would essentially direct tech companies to steer young boys away from conservative ideas online. We dig into what that really means, who gets to define what's "good," and why we see this as a direct assault on free speech and the First Amendment.

Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to tackle a question we've all seen play out in real life — why do organizations that push out their founders so often fall apart? From Apple and Steve Jobs to a private school in Arlington, Texas that's now closing its doors, we get into the jealousy, the blind spots, and the hard lesson that when you extinguish the visionary, you extinguish the vision.

In our Digging Deep segment, we're calling out a pattern that is anything but fringe. A Georgia Democrat candidate went viral calling for Trump voters to lose their internet access for four years as punishment for how they voted. We connect the dots from Jennifer Newsom to James Carville to The New Republic — and make the case that what Democrats want isn't just political power, it's the ability to punish anyone who dared to disagree with them.

For our Bright Spot, we share a moment from Vice President J.D. Vance's press conference in Hungary that stopped us in our tracks. When asked whether God is on America's side in the conflict with Iran, Vance gave an answer that was humble, grounded, and frankly exactly what you want to hear from someone in his position. We break down why it matters — and why it echoes something Abraham Lincoln said during the Civil War.

And we close out with words of wisdom from Lincoln himself — on friendship, on the will of God in times of conflict, and on the prayer that war would speedily pass away. Timeless stuff, and more relevant today than ever.

We're kicking off this Monday with some remarkable Easter weekend news — U.S. Catholic dioceses are reporting record numbers of adult converts, and we dig into why the Church is seeing a surge that's not just happening here at home, but across Europe and Australia too. From Oklahoma City to Newark to Mobile, the numbers are stunning, and we talk about what's really driving people — especially young people — back to faith.

Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to weigh in on a growing trend we honestly couldn't believe was a thing: couples who get legally married in secret and then stage a whole second wedding for family and friends — without telling anyone. We dig into whether it's harmless fun or just flat-out deceptive, and things get interesting fast.

In our Digging Deep segment, we break down a six-month CBS News investigation into why Californians are paying so much more at the pump than the rest of the country. Spoiler alert: it's not the oil companies. A full 55% of the cost of every gallon of gas in California comes down to state government policy — and we walk through exactly what that means.

For our Bright Spot, we share new data from the American Enterprise Institute that completely flips the "hollowing out of the middle class" narrative on its head. The middle class isn't shrinking because people are getting poorer — it's because more American families are moving up into the upper middle class. We break down what that actually looks like since 1979, and why it's a story worth celebrating.

And we close out with a Moment of Whoa that'll restore your faith in people — specifically, a group of first graders in New Hampshire who, entirely on their own, decided to learn American Sign Language so they could talk to their deaf classmate Ben. And then the whole class followed. We love this one.

On this episode of American Ground Radio, we kick things off with a powerful and timely conversation about faith in America as we head into Easter. For years, we’ve been told that church attendance is declining and religion is fading—but the numbers tell a very different story. We dive into a surge in church participation, especially within the Catholic Church, and what appears to be a growing spiritual awakening across the country. More importantly, we explore why—from cultural instability to the search for truth in a world flooded with misinformation—and what this renewed focus on Christianity and Easter really means for the future of America.

Plus, we break down the biggest headlines shaping the day, including escalating tensions with Iran after a U.S. fighter jet is shot down, a sweeping crackdown on Medicaid fraud, and the latest developments surrounding plans for a new White House ballroom. 

We take you inside the high-stakes political battle over who will become the next U.S. Attorney General. With major names being floated and the clock ticking, we walk through the strategy, the implications for the Trump agenda, and why this decision could reshape the Department of Justice—and Washington—moving forward.

American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that hits close to home: Are we stunting the development of our sons? We explore how gaming, social media, cultural pressures, and shifting expectations may be holding young men back from growing into strong, independent adults—and what that means for the future of family and society.

Plus, It’s Fake News Friday, so we put the headlines to the test—separating real news from fake news and really fake news. From bizarre government policies to media misfires, this segment highlights just how hard it’s becoming to tell fact from fiction in today’s information war.

And we react to a shocking story out of Maine involving a Senate candidate whose past and rhetoric raise serious questions—not just about politics, but about respect for faith, culture, and basic decency. It’s a moment that will make you stop and think about just how far things have gone.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 2, 2026. 

On this episode of American Ground Radio, we kick things off with a look behind the headlines as a major shakeup rocks the Department of Justice. The firing of Pam Bondi by Donald Trump becomes the centerpiece of a broader conversation about leadership, expectations, and what it really means to deliver results at the highest levels of government. From frustrations over legal strategy to lingering fallout from the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, we break down why this moment may have been inevitable—and what it signals moving forward.

We also dive into the legal battles shaping the administration’s agenda, including recent Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship and other high-stakes rulings that could redefine executive authority. Along the way, we explore a growing frustration among conservatives: the belief that accountability in Washington is inconsistent at best—and nonexistent at worst.

In our “Three Things You Need to Know” segment, we cover the latest developments surrounding Bondi’s departure, a major appeals court decision involving election-related sentencing, and a tragic case out of Florida that underscores the real-world consequences of violence and domestic instability.

From there, the conversation shifts to leadership struggles in America’s largest cities, as New York’s new mayor faces criticism from within his own party over budget concerns and transparency. We also take a closer look at migration trends out of California and what they reveal about the modern American Dream—who’s chasing it, who’s leaving it behind, and why.

Plus American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on a viral survival-style show that separates men and women into competing groups—and the results spark both laughter and debate. From wildly different approaches to problem-solving in the wilderness to a deeper conversation about the complementary strengths of men and women, it’s a spirited discussion that blends humor with a broader cultural commentary on modern gender dynamics.

We wrap things up with a mix of culture, commentary, and a few unexpected stories—from celebrity headlines involving Tiger Woods to a creative entrepreneur turning urban problems into opportunity.

It might be April Fool's Day, but there’s nothing funny about what’s unfolding at the United States Supreme Court. We dive straight into one of the biggest constitutional questions in decades as the Court hears arguments over birthright citizenship tied to an executive order from Donald Trump. What does the 14th Amendment actually say—and has it been misunderstood for more than a century?

We also break down the top stories you need to know, including President Trump making history by attending Supreme Court oral arguments, a Republican plan to fund the Department of Homeland Security without Democrat support, and NASA’s Artemis II mission preparing to send astronauts around the moon for the first time since the Apollo era. These stories highlight major moments in law, leadership, and America’s continued push forward.

Later in the show, we shift to a broader global conversation as tensions with Iran continue to rise. We walk through what may be behind a potential presidential address, the strategic importance of global shipping lanes, and what a stronger stance from the U.S. could signal to both allies and adversaries around the world.

In our Digging Deep segment, we take a closer look at the constitutional language behind birthright citizenship, including the long-standing precedent set by United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Is citizenship simply about being born on U.S. soil, or does “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” mean something more? We explore the history, the legal arguments, and what’s really at stake if the Court reconsiders this interpretation.

We also take on some major cultural conversations—from double standards in sports, comparing reactions to Jaden Ivey and LeBron James, to a growing trend of people cutting off family members over political disagreements. It’s a deeper discussion about values, accountability, and how culture continues to shift in real time.

We wrap things up with a couple of lighter—but meaningful—moments, including a look at declining traffic fatalities across the country and what’s actually making roads safer, plus a heartwarming story that reminds us how simple acts of kindness can still make a big impact.

In this episode of American Ground Radio, we dig into what happens when politicians try to declare entire debates off-limits—and why that should concern anyone who values a free society.

We kick things off with the controversy surrounding “Transgender Day of Visibility” and the broader push to label certain issues as “not up for debate.” We break down why that framing matters, how it shapes public discourse, and why real leadership doesn’t shut down conversation—it invites it.

From there, we turn to today’s biggest headlines in our “Top 3 Things You Need to Know,” including escalating tensions with Iran, a federal ruling on taxpayer funding for NPR and PBS, and a legal battle over changes to the White House itself.

We also take a closer look at election integrity, as new executive action aims to overhaul mail-in voting—raising major constitutional questions about the balance of power between states and the federal government.

Then, American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us for a lighter (and very relatable) conversation about the little things spouses might keep to themselves—especially when money is involved.

We Dig Deep into everything from campaign finance controversies involving Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to a broader discussion about faith, leadership, and whether political figures—and even religious leaders—are getting the facts right when weighing in on war and morality.

Plus, we highlight a major Supreme Court decision on free speech and therapy, renewed efforts to return Americans to the moon, and what it all says about the future of the country.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 30, 2026. 

On this episode of American Ground Radio, we start by tackling the growing divide in how the world responds to tyranny versus American action. We take a hard look at the situation in Iran—highlighting the brutal realities faced by its people—and ask why so many voices seem louder in condemning the United States than in defending those suffering under oppressive regimes. It’s a conversation about moral clarity, selective outrage, and what it really means to stand for freedom.

American Mamas Kimberly Burleson and Teri Netterville break down a viral story about a mom who took an unconventional approach to confronting school bullying. What starts as a shocking moment turns into a deeper discussion about parenting styles, accountability, and how schools handle discipline in today’s culture. It’s equal parts eye-opening and relatable, with a few laughs along the way.

We Dig Deep into two major issues impacting Americans right now. First, we explore the rise of personalized pricing—where businesses may be using data and algorithms to charge you based on what they think you can afford—and whether that crosses the line from capitalism into something more concerning. Then, we turn to the Supreme Court as it considers whether mail-in ballots should be counted after Election Day, and what that decision could mean for election integrity and public trust moving forward.

We highlight a push for accountability out of Washington, as Senator John Kennedy proposes that members of Congress shouldn’t get paid during a government shutdown if federal workers aren’t getting paid either. It’s a simple idea that raises a big question: should lawmakers live with the consequences of their decisions?

We wrap things up with a look at political accountability and cultural moments—from media figures dodging straightforward questions about Iran, to a restored historical statue finding a new home at the White House.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 27, 2026. 

In this episode of American Ground Radio, we start with a jaw-dropping question: when did enforcing the law become something taxpayers have to apologize for? A push from Representative Pramila Jayapal for reparations for illegal immigrants sparks conversation about fairness, the rule of law, and who really gets left behind in today’s political priorities. 

From there, we break down the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, including a late-night Senate maneuver that raises serious transparency concerns, a new anti-fraud crackdown led by J. D. Vance already cutting off suspicious funding streams, and a major ethics scandal that could lead to a member of Congress being expelled.

Then, we ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson: should celebrities just stay out of politics? Rock legend Gene Simmons says yes—and the Mamas don’t hold back. From Hollywood hypocrisy to the growing disconnect between elites and everyday Americans, this conversation hits a nerve and asks whether celebrity voices carry any real weight anymore… or if they’ve talked themselves into irrelevance.

Next, we go Digging Deep into one of the most iconic—and overlooked—pieces of American military power: the A-10 Warthog. It’s old, it’s loud, it’s anything but stealthy… and it might still be the most effective weapon we have in modern warfare. Why does the military keep trying to retire it? And what does that say about how we think about innovation, cost, and combat in the 21st century?

Of course, it wouldn’t be Friday without Fake News Friday, where headlines get put to the test. Some are real. Some are fake. And some are so ridiculous they should be fake—but aren’t. Play along and see how well you can spot the difference.

In our Moment of Whoa, we take a hard look at a story that didn’t get nearly enough attention—a reminder that sometimes the most revealing headlines aren’t the ones dominating the news cycle. It’s the kind of moment that makes you stop and say… wait, what?

And finally, we close things out with a little perspective—and a lot of wisdom—from The Lord of the Rings. In a world that feels increasingly chaotic, these timeless quotes remind us about courage, purpose, and why some things are still worth fighting for.

All that and more in this episode of American Ground Radio—where the conversation is real, the questions are tough, and nothing is off limits.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 26, 2026. 

In this episode of American Ground Radio, we start with a straightforward question that’s turning into a major political divide: why is requiring a photo ID to vote so controversial? We walk through the blocked Senate amendment, the arguments surrounding voter ID, and why something so common in everyday life suddenly becomes “extreme” when it comes to elections. Along the way, we dig into how the politics around election integrity have shifted—and what that could mean going forward.

We then move into the “Top 3 Things You Need to Know,” including President Donald Trump’s decision to extend a pause on U.S. bombing in Iran as negotiations remain unclear, an ethics investigation involving a sitting member of Congress, and a tragic case in New York that raises serious concerns about crime, immigration enforcement, and public safety.

From there, we dig deeper into new allegations that U.S. taxpayer dollars may have been funneled through international channels and routed back into American politics. It’s a story that’s been dismissed before—but with new reporting surfacing, we break down what’s being claimed, what’s changed, and why it matters.

We also take on several major policy and cultural issues shaping the country right now, including the rise of mail-order abortion pills and the decisions that made them more widely available, along with the broader legal and moral questions that follow. The conversation expands to global tensions as we ask whether the United States is finally confronting threats that have been building for years.

American Mamas Teri Netterville and and Kimberly Burleson discuss education and the growing role of AI in the classroom. Are students actually learning—or just learning how to get around the work? With real-world examples, we explore what happens when critical thinking takes a back seat to convenience.

And we wrap things up with a Bright Spot, highlighting a shift in international sports back toward biological fairness—raising bigger questions about competition, science, and the future of women’s athletics.

It’s a wide-ranging episode that connects the dots across politics, policy, and culture—all while staying grounded in one core idea: truth still matters.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 25, 2026. 

In this episode, we take on one of the toughest questions in public policy: what happens when leadership decisions collide with real-world consequences?

We start with a sobering breakdown of a tragic murder highlighted by House Speaker Mike Johnson—and the layered policy failures he says made it possible. From border enforcement under Joe Biden, to state leadership by J. B. Pritzker, to local decisions in Chicago under Brandon Johnson, we walk through how border policy, sanctuary laws, and “catch-and-release” policing intersect—and whether those outcomes are accidental or by design. It’s not about rhetoric—it’s about responsibility, governance, and the core purpose of government itself: protecting its citizens.

From there, we hit the top stories you need to know before tomorrow, including a shocking threat from Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner against ICE agents, a controversial lawsuit against tech giants like Meta Platforms and Google over alleged social media addiction, and a surprising political shift in Florida that could signal trouble for Republicans heading into the midterms.

We also explore culture and leadership—from a global summit hosted by Melania Trump to a broader conversation about the often-overlooked role of spouses in shaping world leaders. It’s a reminder that no one leads alone—and that influence doesn’t always happen in front of a microphone.

In our “American Mamas” segment, the conversation turns fiery as the media backlash against working-class roots takes center stage. After comments from Jimmy Kimmel mocking a former plumber turned national leader, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dig into the elitism behind the criticism—and why the American Dream still resonates, whether you’re a business owner, a tradesman, or someone working your way up.

Plus, we dive into global tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, media narratives versus military reality (including surprising analysis from The New York Times), and the growing economic migration from blue states to red states—where billions in income are on the move.

We wrap things up with a powerful reminder of what’s still right in America: a story of perseverance, hard work, and opportunity that proves the pursuit of happiness is still alive and well.
