You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 25, 2025.
0:30 Anthropic—the company behind Claude, one of the most advanced AI systems on the planet—just dropped a bombshell: a Chinese state-sponsored group hijacked a modified version of their tech and used it to launch what may be the first actual large-scale cyber-espionage campaign run almost entirely by AI. We're breaking down how Anthropic eventually shut it down—but they had to tell our government, not the other way around. Meanwhile the CIA, NSA, FBI—agencies with budgets bigger than entire countries—were too busy chasing political vendettas to notice an AI-driven cyber breach unfolding under their noses.
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.
- Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has resigned from Congress.
- A federal Judge dismissed the indictments against both former FBI Director James Comey and current New York Attorney General Letitia James.
- Texas' Redistricting Map has been reinstated by the US Supreme Court.

13:00 We take a look at the situation unfolding in Italy. The Italian Interior Ministry revealed that foreign nationals make up only 9% of Italy’s population… but nearly HALF of all sexual-violence arrests. The problem? Refusal to assimilate.
16:30 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson dive into the rising trend of the so-called “gray divorce”—why longtime couples in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s are suddenly calling it quits after decades together. From Oprah’s town hall to real-life stories of retirement shock, infidelity, complacency, and even the unexpected role of the little blue pill, the Mamas break down why so many marriages are unraveling late in life.

23:00 We unpack the situation in Chicago Public Schools where fewer than one-third of students can read at grade level, but district officials somehow found $14 million to blow on luxury trips, hotel suites, and feel-good “leadership retreats.”
26:00 We Dig Deep into a jaw-dropping City Journal piece that pulls back the curtain on repeat offenders and the revolving door justice system enabling them. We walk through the wild case of Sergio Highland — a convicted killer turned “prison reform activist” — who posed with a Soros-backed DA one day and was charged with murder again the next. We dig into why crime in America is driven by a small group of chronic offenders — and why locking up the worst of the worst isn’t harsh, it’s common sense.

32:30 We break down a brand-new YouGov poll that shows Democrats got absolutely steamrolled in the latest government shutdown showdown. Only 8% of Americans think Democrats “won” the fight, a number so low it’s practically a political face-plant. Even Democrats themselves admit the GOP came out ahead.
35:30 Plus, the University of Notre Dame makes it's Catholic mission clear, and that's a Bright Spot. We dive into last week’s dust-up at the University of Notre Dame, after an official article outlined the school’s “refreshed values” — community, collaboration, excellence, innovation — but made no explicit mention of the university’s historic Catholic identity. The university clarified and re-emphasized its core purpose, updating the mission language to put its Catholic identity at the top: “Be the leading Catholic research university… be a force for good.”
40:30 We’re talking about the sanctity of life from beginning to natural end. And then we pivot to a jaw-dropping move out of Scotland, where lawmakers are opening the door to assisted suicide with virtually no safeguards. Amendments to protect young people, the disabled, those vulnerable to coercion, or even individuals battling temporary depression? All rejected. Just tossed aside, and we're saying, "Whoa."
41:30 And we finish off today's show with some words of wisdom about purpose.
