You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for January 20, 2025.
0:30 Is Wall Street moving to Texas? It might not be official—yet—but the signs are everywhere. We break down the explosive rise of NYSE Texas and the brand-new Texas Stock Exchange in Dallas, and what it means for the future of American finance. As New York tightens taxes and treats wealth like a crime, Texas is offering low regulation, affordable living, and a pro-business environment that’s attracting banks, corporations, and financial talent by the thousands. From housing costs to political culture, we ask the uncomfortable question: is Dallas becoming the new financial capital of the world while New York drives business away?
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.
- President Trump is in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum meeting.
- Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson spoke to the British Parliament in London today.
- The State of California is being ordered to pay back more than $1.3 billion to the Federal government for Medicaid Fraud.

13:00 Now even your clothes have to pass a political test? We react to Michelle Obama’s latest comments suggesting Americans should think about the race of their fashion designers before buying clothes. The conversation turns into a blunt takedown of modern race politics, cancel culture, and what critics call “ideological purity tests” creeping into everyday life. From closets to consumer choices, we ask the real question: when did buying a shirt stop being about style and start being about race, politics, and virtue signaling?
16:00 Ever put your foot in your mouth so badly you wanted the ground to swallow you? In this hilarious and painfully relatable segment, the American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson swap their most embarrassing foot-in-mouth moments—from mistaking someone for being pregnant to accidentally roasting a child’s medical condition. It’s a rapid-fire mix of mom humor, awkward social situations, and the kind of stories that still wake you up in a cold sweat years later. If you’ve ever said the wrong thing at the worst possible time, this one will hit way too close to home.

23:00 We dive into new revelations from House Oversight Chairman James Comer, who says Bill and Hillary Clinton not only ignored congressional subpoenas over the Epstein files—but tried to set their own rules for being questioned. We dig into presidential immunity, contempt of Congress, and why everyday Americans would never get away with the kind of special treatment the political elite seem to expect. It’s a blunt look at power, privilege, and whether anyone in Washington is actually above the law.
25:30 Want a preview of what Democrats would do with full control of Congress? Just look at Virginia. We Dig Deep into how a newly blue state is moving fast on sanctuary policies, limiting police, reclassifying violent crime, and rewriting election rules—all while pushing massive redistricting plans to lock in permanent political power. From immigration and law enforcement to voting laws and culture wars, Virginia is becoming the real-life blueprint for the future of Democratic rule in America.
