You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 1, 2025. 

0:30 A National Guard patrol near the White House… an ambush no one saw coming… and a tragedy that never should have happened. We break down the shocking attack that claimed the life of 20-year-old Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and left another Guardsman fighting for his life — and the explosive questions now being asked about failed vetting, failed leadership, and a government that put politics ahead of protection.

How did an unvetted Afghan national end up in Washington, D.C.? Why were warnings ignored?
And how did rhetoric from Washington’s own leaders help create a dangerous climate for our men and women in uniform? We dive into the policy failures, the predictable consequences, and the growing demand for accountability.

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

• One of the National Guardsmen shot in Washington D.C. last week died from her injuries.
• Alina Habba cannot serve as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey.
• Between 150 and 200 people blocked ICE agents from making a series of arrests in New York City over the weekend.

13:30 Donald Trump asked a question most politicians would never dare say out loud: “Am I going to heaven?” We dig into the moment that surprised supporters, critics — and maybe even Trump himself. What does it mean when a president openly wonders about eternity? What does Scripture actually say about heaven, salvation, and “being good enough”? And is the real question about Trump… or about all of us?

16:00 Ever meet someone and feel that instant spark—not romance, but that “friendship at first sight” connection? The American Mamas dive into why that happens and what it says about us. From being truly listened to, to recognizing the “light givers” in a room, Terry Netterville and Kimberly Burleson share funny, heartfelt stories about connection, intuition, and the people who make us feel seen. A sweet, spirited look at why some strangers just feel like instant friends.

22:30 Is Senator Mark Kelly really in danger— or is this just political theater cranked up to eleven? We break down Kelly’s claim that President Trump “threatened to kill him” and why that accusation falls apart fast. 

26:00 Black Friday was booming, Cyber Monday is shaping up to smash records… but behind the holiday shopping frenzy, there’s a warning parents can’t ignore. A new report flags AI-powered kids’ toys that don’t just talk—they listen, track, record, and sometimes spit out wildly inappropriate advice. From privacy risks to safety concerns that sound straight out of a sci-fi thriller, we dig into what’s really hiding inside those “smart” toys on the shelf. It’s eye-opening, a little unsettling, and a reminder that not every shiny new gadget belongs under the tree.

32:30 Democrats demanded President Trump release his MRI results—pounding the table, insisting he must be hiding something. Well… he released it. And the results? Let’s just say they weren’t what his critics were hoping for. We break down why the left keeps projecting their own Biden-era coverups onto Trump, how this MRI stunt backfired spectacularly, and what it says about the political instinct to assume the worst.

35:30 We talk a lot about what it really means to be pro-life—and this new report on America’s pregnancy centers is a reminder that it’s so much bigger than politics. These centers are helping moms, dads, and babies in ways the headlines never mention… supporting a record number of families last year. We break down the numbers, the compassion behind the work, and the court battles that could decide their future. 

40:00 A new DHS report drops a bombshell: New York City is knowingly harboring thousands of criminal illegal aliens—over 7,000 of them. No arrests, no cooperation, just a sanctuary system shielding people who’ve committed crimes against Americans. At this point, we've got to say, "Whoa." 

41:30 And we finish off with a tragedy that turned into a blessing.
