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 across every U.S. Attorney's office in the country to fight it. We dig into the staggering scope of what's been uncovered in Minnesota and California alone, why COVID supercharged what was likely already a decades-long problem, and ask the question nobody wants to answer — if two states produced billions in documented fraud, what are the other 48 hiding?

Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to tackle a question that hits close to home for anyone who's ever worked inside a great organization — why do companies, schools, and churches that push out their founders almost always fall apart afterward? From Steve Jobs and Apple to a magical private school in Arlington, Texas that's now closing its doors, we get into the jealousy, the greed, and the hard truth that when you extinguish the visionary, you extinguish the vision.

We also get into the Justice Department's decision to open a Civil Rights investigation into 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 is long-overdue accountability or too little too late, and we have a frank conversation about why conservatives are frustrated that nobody from that era has been held responsible for anything yet.

In our Digging Deep segment, we break down the Senate battlefield heading into this year's midterms. The Senate Leadership Fund just dropped a massive $342 million ad buy across eight battleground states. We walk through 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. Money amplifies a message, but it can't substitute for one, and we get into what that means for both parties.

We also dig into the Iran ceasefire and what's really happening with Hezbollah, Lebanon, and the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is claiming Israel's attacks on Hezbollah violate the ceasefire — but as J.D. Vance correctly pointed out, Lebanon was never part of that deal. We explain why that distinction matters and what it means for the fragile state of negotiations.

For our Bright Spot, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking on an Islamic tribunal operating outside U.S. courts and allegedly applying Sharia law to settle disputes in Texas. 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 says everything.

And we close out with the Milwaukee judge who helped an illegal immigrant with a violent criminal record escape from the courthouse — and whose conviction was just upheld on appeal. The system worked. And we close with words of wisdom from Abraham Lincoln on God, war, and the prayer that this mighty scourge may speedily pass away.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 30, 2026. 

On this episode of American Ground Radio, we start by tackling the growing divide in how the world responds to tyranny versus American action. We take a hard look at the situation in Iran—highlighting the brutal realities faced by its people—and ask why so many voices seem louder in condemning the United States than in defending those suffering under oppressive regimes. It’s a conversation about moral clarity, selective outrage, and what it really means to stand for freedom.

American Mamas Kimberly Burleson and Teri Netterville break down a viral story about a mom who took an unconventional approach to confronting school bullying. What starts as a shocking moment turns into a deeper discussion about parenting styles, accountability, and how schools handle discipline in today’s culture. It’s equal parts eye-opening and relatable, with a few laughs along the way.

We Dig Deep into two major issues impacting Americans right now. First, we explore the rise of personalized pricing—where businesses may be using data and algorithms to charge you based on what they think you can afford—and whether that crosses the line from capitalism into something more concerning. Then, we turn to the Supreme Court as it considers whether mail-in ballots should be counted after Election Day, and what that decision could mean for election integrity and public trust moving forward.

We highlight a push for accountability out of Washington, as Senator John Kennedy proposes that members of Congress shouldn’t get paid during a government shutdown if federal workers aren’t getting paid either. It’s a simple idea that raises a big question: should lawmakers live with the consequences of their decisions?

We wrap things up with a look at political accountability and cultural moments—from media figures dodging straightforward questions about Iran, to a restored historical statue finding a new home at the White House.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 27, 2026. 

In this episode of American Ground Radio, we start with a jaw-dropping question: when did enforcing the law become something taxpayers have to apologize for? A push from Representative Pramila Jayapal for reparations for illegal immigrants sparks conversation about fairness, the rule of law, and who really gets left behind in today’s political priorities. 

From there, we break down the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, including a late-night Senate maneuver that raises serious transparency concerns, a new anti-fraud crackdown led by J. D. Vance already cutting off suspicious funding streams, and a major ethics scandal that could lead to a member of Congress being expelled.

Then, we ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson: should celebrities just stay out of politics? Rock legend Gene Simmons says yes—and the Mamas don’t hold back. From Hollywood hypocrisy to the growing disconnect between elites and everyday Americans, this conversation hits a nerve and asks whether celebrity voices carry any real weight anymore… or if they’ve talked themselves into irrelevance.

Next, we go Digging Deep into one of the most iconic—and overlooked—pieces of American military power: the A-10 Warthog. It’s old, it’s loud, it’s anything but stealthy… and it might still be the most effective weapon we have in modern warfare. Why does the military keep trying to retire it? And what does that say about how we think about innovation, cost, and combat in the 21st century?

Of course, it wouldn’t be Friday without Fake News Friday, where headlines get put to the test. Some are real. Some are fake. And some are so ridiculous they should be fake—but aren’t. Play along and see how well you can spot the difference.

In our Moment of Whoa, we take a hard look at a story that didn’t get nearly enough attention—a reminder that sometimes the most revealing headlines aren’t the ones dominating the news cycle. It’s the kind of moment that makes you stop and say… wait, what?

And finally, we close things out with a little perspective—and a lot of wisdom—from The Lord of the Rings. In a world that feels increasingly chaotic, these timeless quotes remind us about courage, purpose, and why some things are still worth fighting for.

All that and more in this episode of American Ground Radio—where the conversation is real, the questions are tough, and nothing is off limits.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 26, 2026. 

In this episode of American Ground Radio, we start with a straightforward question that’s turning into a major political divide: why is requiring a photo ID to vote so controversial? We walk through the blocked Senate amendment, the arguments surrounding voter ID, and why something so common in everyday life suddenly becomes “extreme” when it comes to elections. Along the way, we dig into how the politics around election integrity have shifted—and what that could mean going forward.

We then move into the “Top 3 Things You Need to Know,” including President Donald Trump’s decision to extend a pause on U.S. bombing in Iran as negotiations remain unclear, an ethics investigation involving a sitting member of Congress, and a tragic case in New York that raises serious concerns about crime, immigration enforcement, and public safety.

From there, we dig deeper into new allegations that U.S. taxpayer dollars may have been funneled through international channels and routed back into American politics. It’s a story that’s been dismissed before—but with new reporting surfacing, we break down what’s being claimed, what’s changed, and why it matters.

We also take on several major policy and cultural issues shaping the country right now, including the rise of mail-order abortion pills and the decisions that made them more widely available, along with the broader legal and moral questions that follow. The conversation expands to global tensions as we ask whether the United States is finally confronting threats that have been building for years.

American Mamas Teri Netterville and and Kimberly Burleson discuss education and the growing role of AI in the classroom. Are students actually learning—or just learning how to get around the work? With real-world examples, we explore what happens when critical thinking takes a back seat to convenience.

And we wrap things up with a Bright Spot, highlighting a shift in international sports back toward biological fairness—raising bigger questions about competition, science, and the future of women’s athletics.

It’s a wide-ranging episode that connects the dots across politics, policy, and culture—all while staying grounded in one core idea: truth still matters.
