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

We open with one of the biggest Supreme Court decisions of the year as the justices strike down President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship. We explain why the debate centers on just four words in the 14th Amendment—"subject to the jurisdiction thereof"—and why we believe those words were never meant to create automatic citizenship for anyone born on American soil.

In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we cover the federal prison sentence handed down in Louisiana's Wildlife and Fisheries bribery scandal, the guilty pleas in a decade-long visa fraud scheme involving law enforcement officers, and the cancellation of a controversial carbon capture project beneath Lake Maurepas.

We also discuss what's next for Louisiana State Treasurer John Fleming following his Senate primary loss, whether history makes it harder for candidates to bounce back after an unsuccessful run for higher office, and the political dynamics that could shape his future.

Later, we break down another major Supreme Court ruling affirming that states can preserve women's sports for biological females. We discuss why the decision reinforces the original purpose of Title IX, what it means for fairness in athletics, and why the broader cultural debate is far from over.

We also take a look at New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's latest housing proposal, why economic incentives matter more than political slogans, and react to the latest example of celebrity hypocrisy as Rosie O'Donnell and Kathy Griffin arrive in style while claiming to represent "the resistance."May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
