  • Melania Takes the Podium, RINO Betrayal, and the Census Data They Don't Want You to See
    Apr 10 2026
    Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 9, 2026. We open with a story that should have every Trump voter picking up the phone and calling their congressman — there's an amnesty bill working its way through the House right now, and it's not just Democrats pushing it. Twenty Republicans have signed on to the Dignidad Act, a bill that would grant permanent legal work status and deportation protection to millions of illegal immigrants, including some convicted of theft, fraud, assault, and domestic violence. We break down exactly what's in it, why the name alone tells you everything, and why this feels like a betrayal of every voter who showed up in 2024 to end the border crisis. Then our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to talk about a moment that stopped us in our tracks — Melania Trump walked to the White House podium alone, faced the press corps, and told them in no uncertain terms to stop lying about her connection to Jeffrey Epstein. We dig into why this was unlike anything we've ever seen from a First Lady, the media outlets that were forced to publicly retract and apologize, and why Melania's call on Congress to open the Epstein files and let the victims tell their stories may be the most powerful thing to come out of that press conference. We also weigh in on New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani's broken promise of free buses — and use it as a jumping-off point for a bigger conversation about why socialism always makes the same enormous promises and delivers the same crushing disappointments, every single time, without exception. In our Digging Deep segment, we get into brand new Census Bureau data that tells a story the mainstream media doesn't want to touch. Americans aren't just leaving blue states for red states — they're leaving blue counties for red counties. Los Angeles County lost nearly 700,000 people last year. Cook County lost 320,000. Meanwhile, the suburbs of Dallas, Houston, Austin, and Phoenix are exploding with growth. We walk through the 10 fastest-shrinking counties and the 10 fastest-growing counties in America, and the pattern is impossible to ignore. We also tackle the outrage over the DeCarlos Brown case — the man who stabbed a Ukrainian immigrant to death on a Charlotte train and has now been ruled mentally unfit to stand trial. We get into what the system missed, when it missed it, and why the victim deserves better than a footnote. For our Bright Spot, a Maine parent sued his school district for refusing to let students say the Pledge of Allegiance — and won. We talk about why this matters, what we're losing when we disconnect our kids from the foundations of this country, and why one nation under God, indivisible, is worth fighting for in court if that's what it takes. And we close out with Chris Christie calling the Republican Party morally adrift and principled — well, he used a different word — and the Artemis II astronauts' NASA wake-up playlist on Spotify, which honestly might be the most feel-good story of the week.

  • Trump's Iran Strategy, Fraud Crisis, and Sharia Law in Texas
    Apr 9 2026

    Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram.

    You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 8, 2026.

    We open with a topic that has every hardworking American taxpayer's blood boiling — the Department of Justice is now officially calling fraud in America a crisis, and a new National Fraud Enforcement Division is being stood up to fight it. We dig into what's been uncovered in Minnesota and California, why COVID supercharged what was likely already a decades-long problem, and whether the scope of what we don't yet know might dwarf what we've already found.

    Then our American Mama Teri Netterville joins us to weigh in on one of the most interesting fault lines opening up on the right right now — what happened to the conservative commentators who used to have Trump's back? Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Joe Rogan, Candace Owens — they've all turned sharply critical over the Iran operation. We get into why Teri thinks some of them are panicking, why others may have personal reasons for their opposition, and what Dave Rubin's take on Trump's negotiation playbook gets exactly right. Pressure, escalation, chaos, then a deal. We've seen this movie before.

    We also dig into the Justice Department's decision to investigate Cassidy Hutchinson — the former White House aide who testified before Congress that President Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of the presidential limo on January 6th. We debate whether this investigation is long overdue justice or too little too late, and whether anyone from that era is actually going to be held accountable.

    In our Digging Deep segment, we break down the Senate battlefield for this year's midterms. The Senate Leadership Fund just dropped a massive $342 million ad buy across eight battleground states. We walk through the races in Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio, North Carolina, Maine, and Iowa — where Republicans are playing offense, where they're playing defense, and where we think seats could actually flip. The money is enormous, but as we dig into, a message that doesn't resonate can't be bought.

    For our Bright Spot, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking on Sharia law tribunals operating inside Texas, issuing subpoenas and making clear that there is one legal system in America — the Constitution. We talk about why this matters, what states have already passed American Laws for American Courts legislation, and why every blue state's silence on this issue is deafening.

  • Approved Speech, Punished Patriots, and Lincoln's Warning
    Apr 8 2026

    Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram.

    You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 7, 2026.

    We kick things off with a story that should have every freedom-loving American paying attention — Gavin Newsom's wife Jennifer is pushing for legislation that would essentially direct tech companies to steer young boys away from conservative ideas online. We dig into what that really means, who gets to define what's "good," and why we see this as a direct assault on free speech and the First Amendment.

    Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to tackle a question we've all seen play out in real life — why do organizations that push out their founders so often fall apart? From Apple and Steve Jobs to a private school in Arlington, Texas that's now closing its doors, we get into the jealousy, the blind spots, and the hard lesson that when you extinguish the visionary, you extinguish the vision.

    In our Digging Deep segment, we're calling out a pattern that is anything but fringe. A Georgia Democrat candidate went viral calling for Trump voters to lose their internet access for four years as punishment for how they voted. We connect the dots from Jennifer Newsom to James Carville to The New Republic — and make the case that what Democrats want isn't just political power, it's the ability to punish anyone who dared to disagree with them.

    For our Bright Spot, we share a moment from Vice President J.D. Vance's press conference in Hungary that stopped us in our tracks. When asked whether God is on America's side in the conflict with Iran, Vance gave an answer that was humble, grounded, and frankly exactly what you want to hear from someone in his position. We break down why it matters — and why it echoes something Abraham Lincoln said during the Civil War.

    And we close out with words of wisdom from Lincoln himself — on friendship, on the will of God in times of conflict, and on the prayer that war would speedily pass away. Timeless stuff, and more relevant today than ever.

  • Faith Is Back, the Middle Class Is Up, and California Is Still California
    Apr 7 2026

    Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram.

    You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 6, 2026.

    We're kicking off this Monday with some remarkable Easter weekend news — U.S. Catholic dioceses are reporting record numbers of adult converts, and we dig into why the Church is seeing a surge that's not just happening here at home, but across Europe and Australia too. From Oklahoma City to Newark to Mobile, the numbers are stunning, and we talk about what's really driving people — especially young people — back to faith.

    Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to weigh in on a growing trend we honestly couldn't believe was a thing: couples who get legally married in secret and then stage a whole second wedding for family and friends — without telling anyone. We dig into whether it's harmless fun or just flat-out deceptive, and things get interesting fast.

    In our Digging Deep segment, we break down a six-month CBS News investigation into why Californians are paying so much more at the pump than the rest of the country. Spoiler alert: it's not the oil companies. A full 55% of the cost of every gallon of gas in California comes down to state government policy — and we walk through exactly what that means.

    For our Bright Spot, we share new data from the American Enterprise Institute that completely flips the "hollowing out of the middle class" narrative on its head. The middle class isn't shrinking because people are getting poorer — it's because more American families are moving up into the upper middle class. We break down what that actually looks like since 1979, and why it's a story worth celebrating.

    And we close out with a Moment of Whoa that'll restore your faith in people — specifically, a group of first graders in New Hampshire who, entirely on their own, decided to learn American Sign Language so they could talk to their deaf classmate Ben. And then the whole class followed. We love this one.

  • Easter Revival & the Fight for Justice: Who Will Be the Next AG?
    Apr 6 2026

    Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram.

    You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 3, 2026.

    On this episode of American Ground Radio, we kick things off with a powerful and timely conversation about faith in America as we head into Easter. For years, we’ve been told that church attendance is declining and religion is fading—but the numbers tell a very different story. We dive into a surge in church participation, especially within the Catholic Church, and what appears to be a growing spiritual awakening across the country. More importantly, we explore why—from cultural instability to the search for truth in a world flooded with misinformation—and what this renewed focus on Christianity and Easter really means for the future of America.

    Plus, we break down the biggest headlines shaping the day, including escalating tensions with Iran after a U.S. fighter jet is shot down, a sweeping crackdown on Medicaid fraud, and the latest developments surrounding plans for a new White House ballroom.

    We take you inside the high-stakes political battle over who will become the next U.S. Attorney General. With major names being floated and the clock ticking, we walk through the strategy, the implications for the Trump agenda, and why this decision could reshape the Department of Justice—and Washington—moving forward.

    American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a question that hits close to home: Are we stunting the development of our sons? We explore how gaming, social media, cultural pressures, and shifting expectations may be holding young men back from growing into strong, independent adults—and what that means for the future of family and society.

    Plus, It’s Fake News Friday, so we put the headlines to the test—separating real news from fake news and really fake news. From bizarre government policies to media misfires, this segment highlights just how hard it’s becoming to tell fact from fiction in today’s information war.

    And we react to a shocking story out of Maine involving a Senate candidate whose past and rhetoric raise serious questions—not just about politics, but about respect for faith, culture, and basic decency. It’s a moment that will make you stop and think about just how far things have gone.

  • Pam Bondi Fired After Epstein Files Controversy and Court Losses
    Apr 3 2026

    Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram.

    You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 2, 2026.

    On this episode of American Ground Radio, we kick things off with a look behind the headlines as a major shakeup rocks the Department of Justice. The firing of Pam Bondi by Donald Trump becomes the centerpiece of a broader conversation about leadership, expectations, and what it really means to deliver results at the highest levels of government. From frustrations over legal strategy to lingering fallout from the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, we break down why this moment may have been inevitable—and what it signals moving forward.

    We also dive into the legal battles shaping the administration’s agenda, including recent Supreme Court arguments on birthright citizenship and other high-stakes rulings that could redefine executive authority. Along the way, we explore a growing frustration among conservatives: the belief that accountability in Washington is inconsistent at best—and nonexistent at worst.

    In our “Three Things You Need to Know” segment, we cover the latest developments surrounding Bondi’s departure, a major appeals court decision involving election-related sentencing, and a tragic case out of Florida that underscores the real-world consequences of violence and domestic instability.

    From there, the conversation shifts to leadership struggles in America’s largest cities, as New York’s new mayor faces criticism from within his own party over budget concerns and transparency. We also take a closer look at migration trends out of California and what they reveal about the modern American Dream—who’s chasing it, who’s leaving it behind, and why.

    Plus American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson weigh in on a viral survival-style show that separates men and women into competing groups—and the results spark both laughter and debate. From wildly different approaches to problem-solving in the wilderness to a deeper conversation about the complementary strengths of men and women, it’s a spirited discussion that blends humor with a broader cultural commentary on modern gender dynamics.

    We wrap things up with a mix of culture, commentary, and a few unexpected stories—from celebrity headlines involving Tiger Woods to a creative entrepreneur turning urban problems into opportunity.

  • Birthright Showdown: The Constitution Back on Trial
    Apr 2 2026

    Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram.

    You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 1, 2026.

    It might be April Fool's Day, but there’s nothing funny about what’s unfolding at the United States Supreme Court. We dive straight into one of the biggest constitutional questions in decades as the Court hears arguments over birthright citizenship tied to an executive order from Donald Trump. What does the 14th Amendment actually say—and has it been misunderstood for more than a century?

    We also break down the top stories you need to know, including President Trump making history by attending Supreme Court oral arguments, a Republican plan to fund the Department of Homeland Security without Democrat support, and NASA’s Artemis II mission preparing to send astronauts around the moon for the first time since the Apollo era. These stories highlight major moments in law, leadership, and America’s continued push forward.

    Later in the show, we shift to a broader global conversation as tensions with Iran continue to rise. We walk through what may be behind a potential presidential address, the strategic importance of global shipping lanes, and what a stronger stance from the U.S. could signal to both allies and adversaries around the world.

    In our Digging Deep segment, we take a closer look at the constitutional language behind birthright citizenship, including the long-standing precedent set by United States v. Wong Kim Ark. Is citizenship simply about being born on U.S. soil, or does “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” mean something more? We explore the history, the legal arguments, and what’s really at stake if the Court reconsiders this interpretation.

    We also take on some major cultural conversations—from double standards in sports, comparing reactions to Jaden Ivey and LeBron James, to a growing trend of people cutting off family members over political disagreements. It’s a deeper discussion about values, accountability, and how culture continues to shift in real time.

    We wrap things up with a couple of lighter—but meaningful—moments, including a look at declining traffic fatalities across the country and what’s actually making roads safer, plus a heartwarming story that reminds us how simple acts of kindness can still make a big impact.

  • The Pope, Free Speech, and the Fight Over Truth
    Apr 1 2026

    Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram.

    You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 31, 2026.

    In this episode of American Ground Radio, we dig into what happens when politicians try to declare entire debates off-limits—and why that should concern anyone who values a free society.

    We kick things off with the controversy surrounding “Transgender Day of Visibility” and the broader push to label certain issues as “not up for debate.” We break down why that framing matters, how it shapes public discourse, and why real leadership doesn’t shut down conversation—it invites it.

    From there, we turn to today’s biggest headlines in our “Top 3 Things You Need to Know,” including escalating tensions with Iran, a federal ruling on taxpayer funding for NPR and PBS, and a legal battle over changes to the White House itself.

    We also take a closer look at election integrity, as new executive action aims to overhaul mail-in voting—raising major constitutional questions about the balance of power between states and the federal government.

    Then, American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us for a lighter (and very relatable) conversation about the little things spouses might keep to themselves—especially when money is involved.

    We Dig Deep into everything from campaign finance controversies involving Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to a broader discussion about faith, leadership, and whether political figures—and even religious leaders—are getting the facts right when weighing in on war and morality.

    Plus, we highlight a major Supreme Court decision on free speech and therapy, renewed efforts to return Americans to the moon, and what it all says about the future of the country.
