American Ground Radio – Details, episodes & analysis

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.

0:30 Anthropic—the company behind Claude, one of the most advanced AI systems on the planet—just dropped a bombshell: a Chinese state-sponsored group hijacked a modified version of their tech and used it to launch what may be the first actual large-scale cyber-espionage campaign run almost entirely by AI. We're breaking down how Anthropic eventually shut it down—but they had to tell our government, not the other way around. Meanwhile the CIA, NSA, FBI—agencies with budgets bigger than entire countries—were too busy chasing political vendettas to notice an AI-driven cyber breach unfolding under their noses.

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

• Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has resigned from Congress.
• A federal Judge dismissed the indictments against both former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James.
• Texas' Redistricting Map has been reinstated by the US Supreme Court.

13:00 We take a look at the situation unfolding in Italy. The Italian Interior Ministry revealed that foreign nationals make up only 9% of Italy’s population… but nearly HALF of all sexual-violence arrests. The problem? Refusal to assimilate. 

16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the rising trend of the so-called “gray divorce”—why longtime couples in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s are suddenly calling it quits after decades together. From Oprah’s town hall to real-life stories of retirement shock, infidelity, complacency, and even the unexpected role of the little blue pill, the Mamas break down why so many marriages are unraveling late in life.

23:00 We unpack the situation in Chicago Public Schools where fewer than one-third of students can read at grade level, but district officials somehow found $14 million to blow on luxury trips, hotel suites, and feel-good “leadership retreats.” 

26:00 We Dig Deep into a jaw-dropping City Journal piece that pulls back the curtain on repeat offenders and the revolving door justice system enabling them. We walk through the wild case of Sergio Highland — a convicted killer turned “prison reform activist” — who posed with a Soros-backed DA one day and was charged with murder again the next. We dig into why crime in America is driven by a small group of chronic offenders — and why locking up the worst of the worst isn’t harsh, it’s common sense.

32:30 We break down a brand-new YouGov poll that shows Democrats got absolutely steamrolled in the latest government shutdown showdown. Only 8% of Americans think Democrats “won” the fight, a number so low it’s practically a political face-plant. Even Democrats themselves admit the GOP came out ahead.

35:30 Plus, the University of Notre Dame makes it's Catholic mission clear, and that's a Bright Spot. We dive into last week’s dust-up at the University of Notre Dame, after an official article outlined the school’s “refreshed values” — community, collaboration, excellence, innovation — but made no explicit mention of the university’s historic Catholic identity. The university clarified and re-emphasized its core purpose, updating the mission language to put its Catholic identity at the top: “Be the leading Catholic research university… be a force for good.”

40:30 We’re talking about the sanctity of life from beginning to natural end. And then we pivot to a jaw-dropping move out of Scotland, where lawmakers are opening the door to assisted suicide with virtually no safeguards. Amendments to protect young people, the disabled, those vulnerable to coercion, or even individuals battling temporary depression? All rejected. Just tossed aside, and we're saying, "Whoa." 

41:30 And we finish off today's show with some words of wisdom about purpose.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for November 11, 2025. 

0:30 We dive into the 40-day government shutdown, the sudden awakening of Dick Durbin’s conscience, and John Fetterman’s surprising revelation about Obamacare subsidies. We unpack how Democrats engineered temporary COVID-era subsidies, then blamed Republicans for letting them expire—and used that as leverage to keep the government closed. From the hypocrisy of “fighting for the little guy” to the gaslighting over who actually wrote the law, we're breaking down the tangled politics behind the Schumer shutdown.

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

• The Federal Government's Continuing Resolution to fund the government passed the Senate last night after more than 40 days of lockdown.
• A Judge in Utah has thrown out a Republican drawn congressional map, and substituted one drawn by Democrats and special interest groups.
• A former aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul and former governor Andrew Cuomo is on trail for being a spy for the Chinese Communist Party.

13:00 What happened to civil disagreement? We confront the alarming normalization of political violence in America—especially on the far left. From Hollywood actor Woody Harrelson’s shocking comments about fantasizing over harming the president to the media’s casual acceptance of such rhetoric, we're unpacking how moral decay and intellectual failure have made violence a substitute for debate.

15:30 Would you rather marry young, have children, and build a family with someone who isn’t quite your soulmate—or wait for your true love and miss the window to have kids? American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into this listener question that hits at the core of love, family, and faith.

The Mamas unpack the emotional, biblical, and practical sides of marriage—from marrying your soulmate to growing into one. They share personal stories, wisdom from friends, and surprising insights into how men and women often answer this question very differently.

23:00 President Reagan once warned that “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” On this Veterans Day, that truth rings louder than ever. We honor the men and women who have fought, sacrificed, and given their “last full measure of devotion” to preserve America’s liberty.

24:30 The Washington Post just ranked every county in America to find “the best place to raise a family.” Their conclusion? Virginia is the best—and Louisiana is the worst. But when you dig into their methodology, the logic starts to fall apart.

In this episode, the hosts break down the Post’s ranking system—what it values, what it ignores, and what it says about the media’s worldview. From weighting abortion access and gender policies above faith, family, and two-parent homes, to dismissing states that still celebrate traditional values, this list reveals more about politics than parenting.

32:30 Plus, we give Stephen's dad Colonel Thomas J. Parr a call. He reflects on what service, sacrifice, and freedom really mean. A decorated Vietnam veteran with three Bronze Stars (one for valor), a West Point graduate, and a surgeon who answered the call again during Desert Storm, Dr. Parr shares powerful, candid memories — from firefights and helicopter “unplanned landings” to moments of faith and perseverance.

39:30 After our conversation with Col. Thomas J. Parr, we reflect on a lesson that extends far beyond military service — the power of attitude. When life feels like it’s spinning out of control — when jobs are lost, marriages strain, or the world just seems turbulent — there’s still one thing you can choose: how you respond.

41:30 And we finish off with Presidents who served in the military.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 11, 2025. 

0:30 After weeks of gridlock, Washington may finally reopen. Eight Senate Democrats, including Dick Durbin, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Maggie Hassan, have crossed the aisle to support ending the government shutdown. But this isn’t a sudden burst of bipartisanship—it’s political triage. While we credit John Fetterman for his consistency, most of his colleagues acted out of panic, not principle. The Democrats’ leadership, led by Chuck Schumer, is collapsing under the weight of its own miscalculation—boxed in, out of leverage, and out of public support.

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

• Some Democrats in the Senate appear to have finally caved on the government funding battle.
• The Supreme Court has agreed to take up a case over whether or not mail in ballots that arrive after election day may be counted in an election.
• President Trump issues pardons over the weekend for many conservatives and Republicans accused of wrongdoing in the aftermath of the 2020 elections.

13:00 We tackle one of the most disturbing moral crises of our time—Canada’s expanding euthanasia program. What began as a measure for the terminally ill has spiraled into something far darker: state-sanctioned death for people with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and even mental health struggles.

15:30 Our American Mamas, Terri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, take on a listener’s question: “Can you even say one positive thing about Democrats?”

Terri admits her “compliment” might be a bit backhanded—calling Senator John Fetterman the most sensible Democrat in America, though she jokes that says more about the state of the party than about him. Kimberly finds something to admire too: Democrats’ fearlessness in saying whatever they want without worrying about backlash—something she says conservatives could never get away with. But the discussion deepens as the Mamas reflect on their own friendships with Democrats, the difference between ordinary people and political leaders, and what “tolerance” and “pluralism” really mean in today’s climate.

23:00 We turn our attention to one of the world’s most horrific and underreported human rights crises—the persecution of Christians across Africa. In Nigeria alone, radical Islamic terrorists have murdered more than 50,000 Christians since 2009, wiping out entire villages, executing pastors, and burning churches to the ground while congregations worshiped. Where is the outrage? There’s silence from the United Nations, from Western media, and from the global human rights community.

26:00 We Dig Deep into one of the most intriguing unanswered questions from January 6th — who planted the pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters the night before the Capitol riot? More than four years later, the FBI has yet to identify a suspect, even as it has aggressively pursued hundreds of other January 6th cases. But now, new information and video evidence are reigniting the debate.

According to an investigation by Blaze Media, forensic gait analysis of FBI surveillance footage points to a 94% match with an individual who later went on to work for the CIA — a woman named Shawnee Ray Kirchhoff, who at the time was employed by the Capitol Police. The report connects a string of coincidences: her height matches the FBI’s description, she walks with a limp due to a past injury, and her proximity to a residence once under federal surveillance deepens the intrigue.

32:30 This Thanksgiving, Americans may find a little more sticker shock at the grocery store. We dive into why turkey prices have soared to their highest levels in decades, with wholesale costs up 75% since last year. From a bird flu outbreak that’s decimated flocks to the lingering fallout of Biden-era inflation that shuttered many family farms, multiple crises have converged on America’s most beloved holiday meal.

36:00 Plus, the International Olympic Committee is preparing to ban transgender athletes from competing outside their biological sex categories, and that's a Bright Spot for fairness in sports. After years of controversy, including last summer’s uproar in Paris over male-born athletes dominating women’s events, the IOC’s latest review finally acknowledges what many have long known: biological differences matter. 

Citing findings from the IOC’s own medical and scientific director, we look at the evidence that male-born athletes retain physical advantages even after hormone suppression, confirming what critics of transgender inclusion in women’s divisions have said for years. This is not only a victory for women’s sports integrity, but also a sign that common sense is making a comeback on the world stage.

39:30 Michelle Obama is offended by President Trump's White House Renovations, bascially calling his demolition of part of the East Wing an attack on first ladies everywhere. But she had no problem renovating the state dining room during the Obama years. We see the hypocrisy, and we're saying, "Whoa." 

41:30 And we finish off today's episode with a national hero who released his first original song at the age of 101.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 7, 2025. 

0:30 We dig into the latest political bait-and-switch from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Schumer’s new proposal to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits for another year is being sold as a move to lower healthcare costs — but it’s really a carefully timed political trap designed to corner Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms.

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

• Nearly 1,000 flights across the country today were canceled as the FAA's mandatory reductions take place.
• The former soviet Socialist Republic of Kazakhstan has joined the Abraham Accords.
• Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik announced today she's running for Governor of New York.

13:00 We unpack the surprising rise of Zoran Mamdani in New York City politics — and what his victory says about shifting attitudes in America’s younger generations. We explore how Mamdani’s campaign tapped into quality-of-life frustrations, appealing to voters disillusioned by the high cost of living and the fading promise of the American Dream.

16:00 MTV is calling it quit in other countries. We ask the American Mamas if they think the same will happen in the U.S. Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, reminisce about the golden age of MTV—back when music videos ruled the airwaves, A-ha played in every living room, and Cyndi Lauper and Huey Lewis were household names. The Mamas reflect on how MTV once shaped a generation, connecting fans deeply with artists’ faces, stories, and creativity—and how today’s music landscape, dominated by TikTok trends and streaming algorithms, feels far less personal. They also talk about MTV’s slow fade, the endless reruns of Ridiculousness, and whether the network could ever recapture the magic that made it a cultural phenomenon.

With humor, heart, and plenty of ‘80s memories, they ask the big question: Is there still room for real music television in America today?

23:00 We unpack the latest congressional standoff, where Democrats’ refusal to advance legislation has effectively frozen President Trump’s agenda in place. With insights from Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, we explore how deliberate obstruction and political gamesmanship have turned Congress into a stalemate. 

25:00 We Dig Deep into why the government shutdown shows no signs of ending — and why that may be by design. After recent elections, Democrats believe they’ve found a winning formula: resist Donald Trump at all costs, even if it means keeping Washington frozen. Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy joins the discussion, revealing that even one of the most bipartisan Republicans in Congress couldn’t name a single Democrat willing to cross the aisle to reopen the government. The conversation unpacks how Chuck Schumer’s own words — “every day the shutdown continues, it gets better for us” — have become a guiding strategy for Democrats seeking political advantage over progress. We explore how the party has shifted the narrative from fiscal issues to health care and anti-Trump messaging, turning the shutdown into a campaign tool rather than a policy standoff. Democrats need Trump as their foil — their political “Lex Luthor” — to keep their base energized and their message alive.

33:00 As this year’s 75-year-old, 11-ton Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree makes its way from upstate New York to Manhattan for the 93rd annual lighting ceremony, some are beginning to ask: Will this cherished event still look the same under New York’s new leadership? We take a closer look at Mayor Zoran Mamdani’s worldview, background, and what his administration might mean for New York’s cultural and religious traditions.

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 the re-election of “Mayor McCheese" California spending, and even pet carbon footprints, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio.

40:00 We take a closer look at the Republican Party’s potential 2028 lineup — and the surprising signals coming from inside the Trump administration. A new Politico report reveals that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has no plans to run for president if Vice President J.D. Vance enters the race, a move the hosts say underscores an unusual sense of unity among top GOP figures. This administration's cabinet is getting things done, and we're saying, "Whoa!" 

41:30 And we finish off with a Slidell woman who helped stop a shoplifter.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 6, 2025. 

0:30  We take a look at Speaker Mike Johnson's warning that today’s Democratic Party has been overtaken by an ideological movement far removed from its working-class roots. Once the party that called itself the party of the middle class and moderation, Democrats have shifted so sharply to the left that traditional voices are nearly extinct.

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

• Former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi will not run for another term in Congress.
• The FAA is ordering 40 of the biggest airports in the country to begin restricting flights.
• The US Supreme Court ruled that the federal government does have the right and the power to insist only biological sex can be listed on US issued passports.

13:00 We unpack Ronald Reagan’s iconic declaration that “government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem,” then contrast it with Mamdani’s modern-day claim that “there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about.” If you want to see what happens when government tries to solve everything, look at cities like New York, San Franscisco, Chicago, and Portland. Skyrocketing taxes, tent cities, rampant crime, and deepening inequality despite billions in government spending. 

16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to the stunning — but not surprising — election of Zoran Mamdani as mayor of New York City. The Mamas discuss the fiery tone of Mamdani’s victory speech, where he quoted socialist figures like Eugene V. Debs rather than American founders, and how his words reflect what they see as a deeper ideological shift in American politics. 

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 discuss the surge of over 35,000 Americans applying to become “Homeland Defenders” — a new initiative under the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services within the Department of Homeland Security. The goal? Strengthen the nation’s immigration system by ensuring that only those who meet legal standards are granted entry or benefits.

25:30 We Dig Deep into one of the most shocking takeaways from the week’s elections — the erosion of political accountability. We reflect on a time when personal misconduct or moral scandal could end a political career, pointing back to Gary Hart’s downfall in the 1980s as a stark contrast to today. From Zoran Mamdani’s incendiary rhetoric, to Virginia’s new attorney general Jay Jones and his disturbing text messages, to Mikie Sherrill’s Naval Academy cheating scandal, and even an admitted illegal immigrant elected mayor in St. Paul, the discussion paints a picture of a political culture where outrage no longer matters — at least, not for one side of the aisle.

32:30 We turn to Clearwater, Kansas, where Mayor Joe Sabalas, a non-citizen permanent resident from Mexico, has not only served as mayor—but was just reelected. Even more troubling, records show he voted illegally in U.S. elections multiple times, leading to felony charges of election perjury and unlawful voting.

35:30 Plus, a new Christianity Today report shows Gen Z now leads all generations in church attendance, and that's a Bright Spot. This hunger for truth and spiritual grounding contrasts sharply with the moral confusion shaping politics and culture. It looks like Gen Z realizes that the next generation’s hope isn’t found in movements or ideologies, but in the gospel itself.

40:00 For the sixth straight month, U.S. Border Patrol has reported zero illegal immigrant releases into the country—a stark contrast to the 150,000–200,000 monthly releases under the Biden administration. Trump looked at all the people coming across the border and said, "Whoa!" 

41:30 And we finish off with a story about Abraham Lincoln and a letter that was discovered earlier this year that shows his character.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for November 5, 2025. 

0:30 We unpack the controversy surrounding California’s Proposition 50, which recently passed and is set to create five new Democrat-leaning congressional districts — potentially flipping control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Prop 50 represents a new wave of partisan gerrymandering, undermining fair representation and further dividing the nation along racial and political lines.

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

• Democrats won big in elections across the country.In New York City, communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral election with more than 50% of the vote.
• The US Supreme Court heard arguments today over whether or not President Trump has the power to place tariffs on imports into the United States.
• A UPS Plane crashed in Louisville, Kentucky, killing 9 people and injuring 11 more.

13:30 Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani told supporters to “turn the volume up” during his victory speech, but what did he really mean— and who were those words meant for? Was he signaling that the political temperature in America is about to rise even higher? Or was it just another moment of headline-grabbing bravado?

15:30 The American Mamas take on a listener question about why Michelle Obama continues to grace magazine covers like People, while First Lady Melania Trump—once a world-renowned supermodel—seems to be overlooked by mainstream media. Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss the double standards in media coverage, Michelle Obama’s ongoing public presence through podcasts and books, and her repeated claims of being treated unfairly. Is Michelle Obama sending the right message to young women, or is she promoting victimhood culture?

23:00 Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that 10% of air traffic controllers will see a reduced workload due to mounting stress from the ongoing government shutdown. This decision is meant to alleviate the pressure on our air traffic controllers, but will it increase the pressure on those in Congress? Or will lawmakers continue to weaponize the shutdown for political gain? 

25:00 We Dig Deep into the surprising and polarizing victory speech of newly elected New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani. Quoting socialist figure Eugene V. Debs, Mamdani framed his win as the dawn of a “better day for humanity,” but invoking Debs reveals a radical agenda. Are Mamdani’s promises — rent freezes, free childcare, and fare-free transit — visionary or economically disastrous? Is New York stepping into a hopeful new era or a dangerous experiment in radical governance?

32:30 Have “quality of life” issues like rent, wages, and affordability finally overtaken the cultural battles that once dominated Democratic messaging? Or is it simply a rebranding effort to hide the same “woke” ideology underneath? 

35:30 Plus, a new Beacon Center poll out of Tennessee shows a surprising trend — most voters want more religion in public schools, and that's a Bright Spot. Over half of respondents (52%) said there isn’t enough religion in classrooms, while only 18% said there’s too much. Even among Democrats, the numbers were nearly even. National data shows growing public support for allowing chaplains in schools, though not necessarily for teacher-led prayer.

40:00 Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped President Obama would fail, and Democrats condemned him for it. Now, Zohran Mamdani promises to "take [Trump] down" and to destroy the real estate market in New York so there's never any Donald Trump again. We've just got to say, "Whoa!" 

41:30 And we finish off today's show with some words of wisdom about faith.

0:30 We break down the political standoff that has brought Washington to a halt — and threatens to ground the nation’s air travel. With a government shutdown dragging on, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warns of nationwide flight chaos. From TSA staffing shortages to potential economic fallout, Democratic leaders are playing a dangerous game with American livelihoods and national security.

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

• Former Vice President Dick Cheney passed away this week at the age of 84.
• It's election day for several states across the country. In New York City, communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani is expected to win.
• The Federal Government shutdown has now passed 35 days, breaking all previous government shutdown records.

13:00 From Karl Marx’s 19th-century theories to modern-day political promises, we explore why the socialist dream has repeatedly turned into a nightmare. When the state promises to take care of everything, everyone ends up poorer, less free, and more dependent.

16:00 The American Mamas tackle the latest protest trend from the Left—a planned weeklong shopping strike meant to hurt Donald Trump’s economy. The Mamas aren’t buying it. They unpack why the protest makes zero economic sense — and how, in trying to “crash” the Trump economy, participants would only end up hurting small businesses and their own paychecks.

23:00 We take a look at the growing power struggle inside the Democratic Party — and the rise of New York socialist Zohran Mamdani. As polls suggest Mamdani’s likely win, this election could mark a political coup from within, pushing Democrats further left than ever before — a seismic shift not seen since George McGovern’s 1972 transformation attempt.

26:00 We Dig Deep into the early results of President Trump’s controversial decision to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C. — and the numbers speak for themselves. From a 60% drop in murders to carjackings down 70%, new reports show dramatic crime reductions since the launch of Trump’s “D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force.” The data proves that restoring order and accountability works — even as Democrats in cities like Chicago and Portland continue to fight Trump’s authority in court.

32:30 We take a hard look at the complex legacy of former Vice President Dick Cheney — a man once considered one of the most influential figures in American foreign policy. We revisit the Iraq War and the long-debated question of whether the Bush administration knowingly exaggerated claims about weapons of mass destruction. And we look at Dick Cheney's later years—Liz Cheney’s role on the January 6th Committee to his own endorsement of Kamala Harris.

36:00 A new study out in Australia says hope may be the most powerful thing in your life, and that's a Bright Spot. The study from the Good News Network found hopeful individuals experience better health, stronger relationships, and greater success in education and work. The research shows that people who nurture hope are not only more resilient but also recover faster from setbacks and resist the pull of negativity.

40:00 We discuss a striking ripple effect of the “defund the police” movement—citizens increasingly turning to self-protection products. In China manufacturers are producing anti-stab or “urban protection wear” clothing, such as coats, shirts, and vests designed to resist knife attacks. Americans are feeling less safe and they're saying, "Whoa!" 

41:30 And we end today's show with a story out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Teurlings Catholic High School celebrated a historic win against St. Thomas Moore on the football field. But what made the news was what happened after the game.

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

0:30 We unpack the controversy out of Dearborn, Michigan, where Mayor Abdullah Hammoud told a Christian resident he was “not welcome” in the city after objecting to a street being renamed for a man who once praised Hezbollah. We break down the mayor’s remarks, the misuse of the term “Islamophobe,” and what this moment says about free speech, civic respect, and the growing confusion between disagreement and hate.

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

• According to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the Federal Government spent less money in 2025 than it did in 2024.
• Some details are finally coming out about the alleged Halloween Terror Plot in Michigan.The FBI filed a 73 page complaint in court against 2 men under the age of 21 and a teenager.
• Tomorrow is election day in several states across the country.New York City will be selecting a new mayor, and most polls say communist anti-semite Zohran Mamdani will win easily.

13:30 We take a hard look at what it means to be American in 2025 — and whether today’s immigration policies are helping or hurting the nation’s civic fabric. From nostalgia for Ellis Island to sharp criticism of mass resettlement policies, assimilation and shared civic norms — including pledging allegiance to the Republic — are non-negotiable for national unity.

16:00 The American Mamas are back together! After a wild stretch of floods, car troubles, and chaos, Kimberly Burleson rejoins Teri Netterville for a candid and fiery conversation about boundaries, truth, and common sense in a world that seems to have lost all three.

In this episode, the Mamas share a surprising story about a massage appointment gone wrong — when “preference” meets “policy” and customer comfort gets dismissed in the name of virtue signaling. They also unpack Glamour UK’s controversial “Women of the Year” cover featuring transgender models and ask: how far can society bend reality before it breaks?

23:00 We dive into actor George Clooney’s surprising reversal — admitting that Democrats made a mistake pushing Joe Biden aside for Kamala Harris during the 2024 election.

26:00 We Dig Deep into another glaring example of failure under the Biden administration — a 54% surge in SNAP (food stamp) spending, now topping $120 billion a year.

We unpack new revelations from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, who says an internal review uncovered thousands of cases of EBT card fraud — from duplicate benefits across states to payments to the deceased. Even more alarming? Twenty-one states — nearly all Democrat-run — refused to share their data, with several even suing the federal government for asking where the money went.

We contrast the left’s “compassion equals more checks” philosophy with a conservative vision of empowerment and accountability. True compassion lifts people up rather than locking them into dependence.

33:30 After nearly forty years in Congress, Nancy Pelosi is reportedly preparing to step away from politics — announcing she won’t seek re-election in 2026. We reflect on Pelosi’s legacy — from her two Trump impeachments and dramatic moments on the House floor to her role in deepening partisan division. 

36:00 Plus, the U.S. Navy has manager 273 nuclear reactors over 6,200 reactor-years and 177 million miles — all with zero accidents, zero injuries, and zero environmental pollution, and that's a Bright Spot. 

40:30 Violence continues in Chicago. Over Halloween weekend alone, at least 23 people were shot across the city. As President Trump calls to deploy the National Guard to restore order, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and federal courts have resisted — even as the Supreme Court signals growing concern. The people of Chicago will continue to suffer so long as they continue to vote for Democrats who hate Donald Trump. It's time for somebody to step up and say, "Whoa!" 

42:30 And we finish off with Scott Johnson, a STEAM teacher at Red Cross Elementary in Kentucky, whose creativity and compassion changed a young boy’s life.

0:30 As the government shutdown drags on, even some Democrats are starting to question their own party’s tactics — including Senator John Fetterman. We unpack Fetterman’s surprising candor in a CNN interview, where he condemns the political games that leave millions of Americans hungry while Congress argues over tax credits. 

10:00 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. 

• The FBI says they have stopped a "Jihadi terror plot" planned for this Halloween weekend.
• The Department of Homeland Security conducted a series of raids in Indiana this week.They arrested 223 illegal immigrants, including 146 who were driving semi-trucks.
• The State of Ohio has just redrawn its congressional maps, likely giving Republicans two more seats in the next midterm election.

13:30 When did the “party of the people” become the party of the ultra-rich? We dig into a new study showing that Democrats now represent more than 75% of America’s wealthiest districts — the very same crowd that rails against “income inequality.” From Nancy Pelosi to Bernie Sanders, millionaire politicians and billionaire donors have reshaped the Democratic Party into an elite club more comfortable in boardrooms than break rooms. 

16:30 The American Mamas tackle a listener's question: could Gavin Newsom actually become the Democrats' 2028 nominee? Teri Netterville doesn't hold back, calling out Newsom's chameleon-like persona — switching accents, stories, and attitudes depending on the audience. From his "hustling" childhood tale to his infamous French Laundry dinner, we're taking a closer look at Newsom's disingenuous charm campaign.

23:00 President Trump and First Lady Melania welcomed families to the White House for trick-or-treating. Kids showed up in all-American costumes from tanks and Spiderman to princesses and costumes that harken back to Trump's day of work at McDonald's. 

25:00 We Dig Deep into the shocking details of Operation Arctic Frost, a secret 2022 FBI surveillance program that allegedly targeted Republican lawmakers, conservative organizations, and media outlets. We break down how the operation—approved under the Biden administration—used expansive digital tracking and data mapping to monitor phone records, online activity, and even purchases of GOP senators, Turning Point USA, and Fox News journalists. With no crimes uncovered and no probable cause established, the discussion turns to what this means for civil liberties, political bias within federal agencies, and the future of free speech in America.

33:30 Kim Kardashian has entered the moon landing debate, claiming Apollo 11 “didn’t happen,” and that Buzz Aldrin basically admitted it. 

36:00 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 Trump freeing Canada and Bill de Blasio’s math problem, to the Word of the Year, Daylight Savings time and even bets on which NBA player will be busted for gambling next, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio.

40:30 Joy Reid and the left hate Donald Trump so much that aren't happy with just beating him in the polls. They want to destroy him entirely. And we just have to say, "Whoa!"
