In this episode of American Ground Radio, we start with a big-picture look at California’s latest tax proposal and the ripple effects it could have across the country.

We break down the so-called “Billionaire Tax Act” and why Gavin Newsom may be pushing a policy that sounds good on paper—but could end up shrinking the very tax base it’s meant to grow. As billionaires begin leaving the state, we ask a fundamental question: what happens when you target a small group of high earners and they simply relocate? From lost income tax to declining property values and reduced economic activity, the consequences may be far bigger than advertised.

We also cover the top three things you need to know before tomorrow, including a failed effort to pass a balanced budget amendment in Congress, a razor-thin committee vote advancing a key Homeland Security nomination, and a major shift on the world stage as U.S. allies signal they’re ready to help secure the Strait of Hormuz.

American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to a viral Smoothie King incident involving alleged political discrimination against customers. The conversation quickly turns deeper—into concerns about rising hostility, cultural division, and whether everyday Americans feel comfortable expressing their views in public anymore. It’s a candid discussion about where the line is between disagreement and outright exclusion—and what that means for the country moving forward.

We also explore the role of humor in today’s political landscape, featuring a conversation with Rob Schneider. From the state of comedy to his tongue-in-cheek “Tears of the Left” bourbon, we talk about why laughter might be one of the last tools we have to bridge cultural and political divides.

In this episode of American Ground Radio, we take you through the biggest stories shaping the country—starting with a heated debate on election integrity and the SAVE Act.

We break down the Senate vote and the real question at the heart of it: if safeguarding elections is “common sense,” why is it so controversial? From voter ID requirements to restoring confidence in the system, we dig into what’s really driving the fight—and why trust in our elections is just as important as the outcome.

Then, American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to a viral video that flips the script on job interviews—asking men the kinds of questions women say they’ve faced for years. Is it a fair critique or just another example of modern victim culture? The Mamas weigh in with some straight talk about confidence, humor, and playing to your strengths in the workplace.

We Dig Deep into the economic reality hitting high-tax states like New York. As leaders admit they’re losing their tax base, we ask the obvious question: if you’re competing with other states, why not lower the burden? It’s a candid conversation about remote work, economic freedom, and why Americans are voting with their feet.

Our Bright Spot shines a light on a surprising story—a deported immigrant who openly admits the law is the law and takes responsibility for his situation. It’s a rare moment of accountability that cuts through the usual political noise and reframes the immigration debate in a powerful way.

And we wrap up today's show by zooming out to the bigger picture—foreign policy, media narratives, and the staying power of the MAGA movement. Despite predictions of division, the data tells a different story, raising an important question: is this movement bigger than any one person?

In this episode, we dig into a growing concern that should have every taxpayer asking questions: who’s really watching the money—and what happens when no one is?

We start with the latest investigation from citizen journalist Nick Shirley, who’s now turning his attention to California after exposing major fraud in Minnesota. This time, the focus is on taxpayer-funded healthcare—and the findings are raising serious red flags. We’re talking about empty offices posing as medical providers, millions in questionable billing, and a system that may be far easier to game than anyone wants to admit.

From there, we head to Capitol Hill, where the debate over the SAVE Act is heating up. Should proving citizenship be required to vote? Supporters say it’s common sense. Opponents say it’s suppression. We break down what’s really in the bill—and why the fight over it is just getting started.

We also cover major developments overseas, including escalating tensions with Iran after a high-level figure tied to the regime is taken out. What does this mean for U.S. strategy moving forward—and how should America respond?

Back at home, Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing tough questions over the Epstein files. After all the anticipation, did the release actually deliver accountability—or just more frustration?

Then we turn to a critical but often misunderstood issue: qualified immunity. With the Supreme Court now taking a closer look, we explain what it is, why it matters, and how it could reshape the balance between protecting law enforcement and holding officials accountable.

Plus American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson get personal—talking about friendships, social media, and whether political differences are tearing relationships apart in real life.

And in our Digging Deep segment, we examine claims about election integrity, alleged vote-buying schemes, and the ongoing debate over trust in the system.

We also highlight the ongoing work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which continues arresting and deporting individuals convicted of serious crimes across the country. As political battles rage in Washington over funding and enforcement, we take a closer look at what ICE is actually doing on the ground—and why that conversation is so contentious.

Finally, we end on a high note with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, where pitcher Paul Skenes reminds us what it means to represent something bigger than yourself.

It’s a packed episode covering fraud, freedom, accountability, and the values that hold it all together.

In today’s episode, we dig into a major court ruling that could reshape how immigration law is enforced in the United States. A federal appeals court has cleared the way for the government to deport illegal migrants to “safe third countries” when their home nations refuse to take them back. We talk about why that matters, how it changes the enforcement landscape, and why some lower court judges keep issuing nationwide injunctions that higher courts—including the Supreme Court of the United States—continue to knock down. One judge in particular, Brian Murphy, seems to be at the center of the latest legal clashes.

We also walk through the Top Three Things You Need to Know Before Tomorrow, including news that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, a troubling police shooting in Dallas tied to the security chief for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, and another ruling from Judge Murphy—this time blocking vaccine policy changes connected to Robert F. Kennedy Jr..

From there, we turn overseas. Tensions are rising around the world’s most important energy chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz. We explain why the United States is being asked to protect the shipping lanes again and why some allies aren’t exactly rushing to help—even though a huge portion of the world’s oil flows through that narrow stretch of water.

American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson join us for a lighter—but meaningful—conversation about whether parents should actually teach their kids how to give compliments. It turns out a simple act of kindness might be something many families have forgotten to pass down.

And in our Digging Deep segment, we take a closer look at reports that federal officials are reviewing communications involving commentator Tucker Carlson under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. We sort through what’s actually known, what’s speculation, and why evidence still matters before rumors take on a life of their own.

All that—plus the bright spot of the day and a remarkable reunion story you won’t believe—on today’s episode of American Ground Radio.

In this episode, we take a hard look at what happens when policy, politics, and reality collide.

We start with a story out of California that raises a serious question: if Planned Parenthood has long claimed to provide “essential healthcare,” why would it suddenly need to offer cosmetic Botox injections just to keep the doors open? With federal funding streams tightening and clinics closing across the country, the conversation turns to what the free market reveals about organizations that once depended heavily on government support.

From there we cover the top three stories you need to know before tomorrow. ROTC students at Old Dominion University are credited with stopping a campus shooting after an armed attacker opened fire in a classroom. In West Bloomfield, a terrifying truck-and-gun attack at Temple Israel leaves investigators searching for answers. And overseas, a tragic refueling aircraft collision involving U.S. forces over Iraq highlights the risks American service members continue to face during ongoing conflicts.

Back at home, we examine a new proposal from Zohran Mamdani to push New York City’s minimum wage to $30 an hour—and what history suggests will happen to jobs, small businesses, and automation if labor costs are forced that high.

And with American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, the conversation turns cultural as rock legend Gene Simmons says celebrities should stop lecturing Americans about politics. The question sparks a bigger discussion: have Hollywood elites hurt their own credibility by constantly weighing in on issues far removed from everyday life?

Our Digging Deep segment uncovers a staggering example of government fraud—$600 million in Medicare hospice claims allegedly filed using the billing number of a single physician. It’s the kind of story that forces a larger question: how much stronger would America be if waste, fraud, and abuse were actually eliminated from government programs?

We also take on the week’s most outrageous headlines in Fake News Friday, where the line between reality and satire seems to get thinner every week.

And we close with a reminder that sometimes the best stories aren’t about politics at all: a father and son in Mobile finally cash in on a decades-old restaurant challenge—free oysters for any man over 80 who shows up with his father.

It’s a conversation about truth, accountability, culture, and the stories that reveal what’s really happening beneath the headlines—right here on American Ground Radio.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 12, 2026.

We tackle a question that seems almost too obvious to be controversial: Should you have to prove you’re an American citizen before voting in an American election? With more than 80% of Americans supporting voter ID and citizenship verification, we break down why something with such overwhelming public support has become a political fight in Washington. We talk about the proposed SAVE Act, the arguments surrounding election integrity, and why many Americans feel the political class is out of step with the people they’re supposed to represent.

We also run through the three big stories you need to know for tomorrow. First, a shocking terror attack at Temple Israel Synagogue raises new concerns about security and rising threats against houses of worship. Then we look at the financial warning signs coming out of New York City after a major credit outlook downgrade tied to massive spending and a growing deficit. And finally, the federal government takes California to court over its zero-emissions vehicle mandate, setting up a major constitutional clash over interstate commerce and whether one state should be able to dictate policy for the entire auto industry.

Plus American Mamas and Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson respond to outrage over reports that the Pentagon spent millions on steak and lobster. But when you learn that the meals were served to U.S. service members before heading into combat, the story looks very different—and it sparks a bigger conversation about how we treat the men and women willing to risk their lives for the country.

We also welcome a powerful guest in the studio: Corey Brooks, who is literally walking across America to raise money for his organization Project H.O.O.D.. He shares why he started the journey in New York City, what he’s learning from people across the country, and how his mission to rebuild families and communities began on the South Side of Chicago.

We wrap up with a Bright Spot about a first grader whose drawing sparked a controversy—and ultimately led to a major free-speech ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. It’s a reminder that the principles of the First Amendment apply to everyone… even a six-year-old with crayons.

We start with a chilling “what-if” scenario that defense officials are now taking seriously: the possibility of weaponized drones launching from cargo ships just off the American coast. It’s the kind of modern warfare tactic that sounds like science fiction… but recent conflicts around the world prove it’s technologically possible. So how real is the threat, and how careful should we be before the media turns speculation into panic?

From there, we break down three big stories you need to know before tomorrow. Washington State passes a new income tax on millionaires—and almost immediately a very famous billionaire announces he’s leaving. ExxonMobil decides after 144 years it’s done calling New Jersey home and is heading to Texas. And overseas, an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Oslo reminds us that tensions around the world can spill over in dangerous ways.

We also dive into a fascinating conversation with American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about the biggest “lies” we were told growing up—from the idea that the news is neutral to the promise that a college degree guarantees success. It turns into a honest discussion about work, purpose, and why helping others succeed may be the real key to getting ahead.

In our Digging Deep segment, we look at a shocking investigation uncovering massive hospice fraud in Los Angeles—hundreds of suspicious companies, dozens registered in the same buildings, and billions in taxpayer dollars potentially at risk. It’s the kind of story that raises serious questions about oversight… and even more questions about how long it’s been happening.

We also talk foreign policy and diplomacy as pressure mounts on Cuba’s struggling regime, and why the moment might finally be right for a historic shift in U.S.–Cuba relations. Meanwhile, late-night comedy shows reveal something telling about modern political culture—when the jokes about a war are aimed overwhelmingly at America instead of the regime that fuels terrorism.

And we wrap up with a couple of bright spots: a police officer who ran toward danger to stop a would-be bombing in New York City, and a young pilot forced to land on a crowded highway whose life—and plane—were saved thanks to a quick-thinking truck driver who blocked traffic.

Today, we're taking a hard look at leadership in Washington and asking a simple question: if protecting the integrity of American elections is so important, why do some leaders sound afraid to fight for it? When Senate Majority Leader John Thune says he can guarantee a vote on the SAVE Act but not the outcome, we break down why that kind of attitude frustrates so many Americans—especially when requiring proof of citizenship to vote has overwhelming public support.

In the Top Three Things You Need to Know, we cover a crowded special election in Georgia after Marjorie Taylor Greene left her House seat, a troubling shooting outside the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, and the arrest of a man living in the U.S. illegally who allegedly voted in every presidential election since 2008. If every vote counts, then election integrity has to matter.

We also dig into a shocking example of government waste after investigators discovered 94,000 dead people in California still listed as receiving federal Lifeline phone subsidies. That program is funded by a fee on your phone bill—so naturally we ask the obvious question: if the recipients are dead… where is the money actually going?

Plus, American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to talk about the political issues that hit closest to home. For one, it’s the growing burden of property taxes threatening retirement security. For another, it’s the fight over biological males competing in women’s sports and what that means for fairness, scholarships, and the future of Title IX.

Then we Dig Deep into a surprising education success story. States like Louisiana and Mississippi—often mocked by the national media—are now leading the nation in student recovery after COVID by going back to phonics and the “science of reading.” The results have been so dramatic that even states like Massachusetts are starting to follow suit.

We also react to a political curveball: Democratic Senator Cory Booker proposing a plan that would make the first $75,000 of income tax-free for married couples. Yes, you heard that right. We talk through the idea, the potential impact, and whether there’s a catch hiding somewhere.

And along the way, we talk about everything from celebrating America’s upcoming 250th birthday to why more Americans are growing uneasy about artificial intelligence.
