You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 10, 2025. 

0:30 We break down a constitutional clash unfolding in California that’s turning into a full-on spectacle. After a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to stop deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles — effectively handing control back to Governor Gavin Newsom —we dig into why something that should be straightforward has spiraled into a legal and political firestorm.

From the judge positioning himself as the ultimate authority, to the governor sidestepping federal power, to the administration pointing directly to the Constitution’s text, it’s clear no one agrees on who’s actually in charge. The Constitution says the president commands the Guard when it’s federalized, states insist on their autonomy, and now the judiciary is trying to referee a fight it was never meant to enter.

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

• Voters in Miami elected Democrat Eileen Higgins to be the next mayor of that city.
• Democrats in the House of Representatives have filed articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. and Sec. of War Pete Hegseth.
• The Federal Reserve voted to lower interest rates again today.

13:00 We dig into a revealing moment in Texas politics — Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett launching a Senate run while dramatically misreading the state she wants to win. After citing questionable demographic statistics and insisting Texas is “61% people of color,” the conversation unpacks how the left selectively redefines racial categories to fit political narratives, and why the entire “person of color” framing has become more performative than meaningful.

16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle a deceptively simple listener question with surprisingly deep cultural roots: what’s your opinion on stay-at-home dads? What starts as a lighthearted conversation quickly opens up into a bigger debate about masculinity, work ethic, and the expectations men and women now bring into modern family life.

After reacting to a viral video featuring a husband who refuses to work while his wife juggles multiple jobs, the Mamas unpack why this hit such a nerve. Is it the fallout of the “toxic masculinity” narrative? The rise of soft men who avoid responsibility? Or a cultural moment that tells women they don’t need men while simultaneously expecting men to still be protectors, providers, and anchors in the home? The conversation touches on everything from the decline of physical labor, to generational softness shaped by gaming culture, to the instinctive drive many men feel to defend their families the moment they become fathers.

23:00 We dig into a growing crisis unfolding in Minnesota — one that isn’t just about numbers, but about what happens when immigration policy collides with economic reality. After new reports show that eight in ten Somali refugee households in Minneapolis rely on welfare, we unpack what this means for taxpayers, for the state’s political landscape, and for the country as a whole. 

26:00 We dive into a jaw-dropping youth football scandal that quickly turns into a much bigger conversation about culture, accountability, and what happens when adults stop teaching kids right from wrong. After eight players from a Philadelphia U14 team were arrested in Florida for trying to steal nearly $2,300 worth of merchandise from a Dick’s Sporting Goods, the story took an even stranger turn — their own coach begged deputies to let them go. 

We unpack the surveillance footage, the attempted shoplifting spree, and the boys’ apparent expectation that nothing would happen to them — an expectation shaped by what’s become normal in cities with lax enforcement. We compare Sheriff Grady Judd’s firm response in Polk County to the hands-off approach often seen in places like Philadelphia, exploring how wildly different attitudes toward crime create wildly different outcomes.

32:30 We break down a high-stakes international showdown involving an oil tanker, U.S. national security, and Donald Trump’s latest move against the cartels. After the United States seized its largest Venezuelan tanker ever, we unpack why this wasn’t just a maritime paperwork dispute — it was part of a sprawling illicit network that, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi, was helping fund foreign terrorist organizations.

35:30 We cover a Bright Spot out of Texas Tech University, where the battle over woke ideology is finally hitting a real turning point. After years of DEI dogma creeping into classrooms—even out in West Texas—the state cracked down, banning DEI, white-privilege instruction, and ideology-based prejudice by law. And now Texas Tech has a chancellor who actually intends to enforce it: Brandon Creighton, the very lawmaker who wrote the anti-DEI legislation in the first place. 

39:30 We tackle one of the wildest twists in Trump-era immigration policy yet: the rollout of the Trump Gold Card—a fast-track residency program with a price tag big enough to make a tech billionaire blink. After joking about never getting credit card offers anymore, they dive into Trump’s new three-tiered system that essentially says: if you want into America quickly, you can pay for the privilege. 

41:00 And we finish off with a Christmas delivery that will make you say, "Whoa!"
