"Let's Roll": Remembering Todd Beamer 25 Years Later
Monday, September 14, 2026
You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for September 11, 2026.
We start the show sounding the alarm on new findings from Anthropic that a China-based actor used its Claude AI model to help draft an anti-torpedo system specification for a Chinese defense manufacturer supplying the PLA Navy, and we talk through how AI is now being used to scrape public photos and data into targeting intelligence against U.S. military personnel and installations.
We move into our Top 3: President Trump marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with a ceremony at the Pentagon, the deportation of an ISIS sympathizer who plotted an Election Day mass shooting at a Texas polling place, and a Maryland synagogue winning a court injunction against a county ban on firearms in houses of worship.
For American Mamas, we're joined by Teri Netterville to talk about how this year's 9/11 anniversary hit differently, and we revisit the story of Todd Beamer's final phone call aboard Flight 93.
We Dig Deep into new numbers on Gen Z and abortion, along with research linking shared last names in marriage to lower divorce rates, and we explain why we believe President Trump's strikes on Iran couldn't wait any longer.
Then it's Fake News Friday, where we separate real headlines from fake ones, including Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani laughing on camera during the reading of 9/11 victims' names.
We close with words of wisdom on 9/11 from George Pataki, George Bush, Sandy Dahl, and Newt Gingrich.
