Netflix Cancellation, Antifa Violence in Portland & Hamas Hostage Release Deal

Monday, October 6, 2025

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for October 3, 2025. 

0:30 A federal judge just handed down a major ruling striking at the heart of executive overreach — declaring that Presidents Obama and Biden violated federal law by imposing indefinite bans on offshore drilling without approval from Congress.

In this episode of American Ground Radio, we unpack what this means for energy independence, Louisiana jobs, and the constitutional limits of presidential power. We take a look at how Barack Obama’s sweeping offshore drilling ban — later reinstated by Joe Biden — bypassed Congress under the guise of “climate change,” and how Judge James Cain of Louisiana just called both administrations out for it.

9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. 

• President Trump is giving the terror group Hamas until Sunday to accept his mideast peace deal.
• Zohran Mamdani announced that if elected, he would eliminate gifted and talented program for children in New York Public schools starting in Kindergarten.
• The Fraternal Order of Police for the city of Charlotte, North Carolina is asking for the National Guard to be deployed in their city.

13:30 For generations, Americans were told that a college degree was the golden ticket — the surest path to success and the American Dream. But is that still true today? We ask the hard question: Has higher education lost its value?

We discuss how college degrees no longer guarantee opportunity, how sky-high tuition and woke campuses have transformed universities from engines of prosperity into echo chambers of ideology. And we break down recent studies showing that many graduates are struggling to find meaningful work — especially those holding degrees with little real-world value.

16:30 We ask the American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — if they are cancelling their Netflix. After Elon Musk called on families to cancel Netflix subscriptions, the Mamas break down the controversy surrounding children’s cartoons that include explicit or confusing sexual themes, including a recent animated show that has sparked outrage.

We discuss how parents are fighting back by choosing classic, wholesome programming from the ’90s and early 2000s — and how Hollywood’s obsession with “representation” is crossing the line into social engineering for kids.

23:00 We dive into the latest New York Times poll showing that a majority of Americans support deporting illegal immigrants—a stance long championed by President Donald Trump. From law enforcement to immigration policy, we unpack what this means for the ongoing debate over border security, government enforcement, and public opinion versus political narratives.

25:30 We Dig Deep into escalating Antifa violence in Portland and the troubling response—or lack thereof—from local authorities. Independent journalist Nick Sorter reports being arrested after intervening in an act of flag burning, while Antifa agitators go uncharged. Another journalist, Katie Davis Corp, was violently attacked but the assailant was released by police. ICE officials confirm that local law enforcement often fails to respond effectively, citing political and legal constraints. Attorney General Pam Bondi has now launched a criminal investigation into Portland police practices for potential civil rights abuses.

33:30 A pastor traveling through Dallas Fort Worth Airport encountered an issue at the airport chapel, which is intended to be non-denominational. Upon trying to enter to pray, he was initially prevented because several Muslims were using the space for prayer and was later offered a chair in the back and asked to remove his shoes. We discuss this situation and the importance of mutual respect for religious freedom in shared spaces.

36:30 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 Rosie O'Donnell's therapist and AOC bartending, to Hakeem Jeffries memes, the government shutdown, and even an invite from the Pope to Arnold Schwarzenegger, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on our Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 

40:30 We discuss breaking news about Hamas agreeing to a deal — negotiated by President Trump — to release the remaining hostages from the October 7, 2023 terror attack on Israel. Hamas has agreed to release hostages before, but President Trump is holding them accountable this time. And if they don't agree to all of it by Sunday at 6 p.m., they need to be saying, "Whoa." 

42:30 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about smaller government.
