Drug Cartels Kill Thousands but Democrats are Opposed to Stopping Them

Wednesday, December 3, 2025

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."
