You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 19, 2025.

0:30 We walk through one of Donald Trump’s most brilliant strategic maneuvers—one the media will never credit him for and Democrats will swear was pure coincidence. Trump didn’t demand the release of the Epstein files, didn’t beat the drum, didn’t turn it into a rally chant. He hesitated just enough to send Democrats into full Trump-Derangement overdrive, convincing themselves they were “standing up” to him. And in that frenzy, Democrats in the House voted unanimously to release documents that could expose their own donors, their own Hollywood friends, and, as newly revealed, even their own party leader, Hakeem Jeffries.

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

• Billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer has announced he's running for Governor of California next year.
• The Department of Homeland Security has issued a Civil Emergency for Broadview, Illinois where pro-illegal alien activists have been rioting outside of an ICE facility.
• Federal Judge Orlando L. Garcia is ordering teachers in Texas to remove posters displaying the 10 Commandments from classrooms across the state.

13:00 Even in Congress there are still supposed to be some basic standards of conduct, especially when you’re representing the United States abroad. Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to restore that sense of honor. After an alcohol-related incident during an official trip to Mexico Rep. Dan Crenshaw from Texas, has been banned from international travel for three months.

16:00 The American Mamas tackle a difficult listener question: When a couple divorces, should they tell the kids if infidelity was involved? Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson explore different perspectives on honesty, timing, protecting children, and how to handle complicated situations when emotions are high. The conversation highlights how every family’s circumstances are different — and why compassion and careful communication matter.

22:30 We dive into the surprising public reunion between Elon Musk and former President Trump, reacting to their renewed friendliness and the buzz surrounding it.

25:00 We Dig Deep into President Trump’s push to dismantle the Department of Education—and how Education Secretary Linda McMahon is quietly making it happen piece by piece. Instead of just flipping off the lights and walking away, McMahon is moving programs into agencies where they actually make sense. We're walking you through why the Department of Education never lived up to its mission, how test scores have slid since its creation in 1979, and why so many states and parents want control returned to the local level.

32:30 We dive into the growing national uproar over the NFL’s choice of Bad Bunny as the next Super Bowl halftime performer—months before the game even kicks off. We break down comments from Gracie Hunt, daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, and we debate whether Bad Bunny is even on the same level as past performers.

35:30 Plus, Warren Buffet's annual Berkshire Hathaway letter is a real Bright Spot. At 95, Buffett shares lessons that go beyond money. He reminds us to forgive ourselves for past mistakes, choose the best role models, and to live a life that you can be proud of. Work harder on yourself than on your job, because greatness isn’t about money, fame, or power—it’s about helping others. And the kicker? Kindness is costless—but priceless. Greatness comes from the way you treat people, not how much you earn or the headlines you make. Buffett’s advice is simple, timeless, and actionable.

40:00 We break down Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s recent comments about President Trump and his supporters, calling them “a cult” and questioning why anyone would back him. She seems to completely misunderstand what they stand for, and that's okay. Confidence and conviction matter, and you can’t let critics or mockery shake you from standing firm in your beliefs. But if anybody votes for Jasmine Crockett, we're saying, "whoa."

41:30 And we finish off with one of the most famous speeches in American history, the Gettysburg Address.
