You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for December 23, 2025.
0:30 We react to a 6–3 Supreme Court ruling blocking the president from deploying the National Guard to protect federal officers and property in Chicago — at least for now. We dig into the shadow docket ruling, sharp dissents from Justices Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch, and what this means for sanctuary cities nationwide. Is this a narrow procedural pause, or a dangerous precedent that weakens federal authority? This decision raises serious questions about executive power, immigration enforcement, and whether the Constitution now bends to sanctuary politics.
9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know.
- The US economy grew at an impressive 4.3% in the third quarter of this year according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- President Trump is tripling the self-deportation bonus for illegal immigrants through the end of the year.
- Former Republican Senator Ben Sasse announced he has pancreatic cancer.

13:30 A controversial ICE holiday stunt ignites debate with an AI video depicting a muscular, tactical Santa Claus as an ICE officer. We break down ICE’s nationwide enforcement push, including a $3,000 self-deportation incentive and paid airfare for illegal immigrants — and ask whether using Santa Claus crosses a cultural line. While acknowledging the legality of enforcement and self-deportation efforts, we question the optics, the use of AI over real artists, and the impact on children who associate Santa with Christmas, not immigration raids. Is this tough-but-fair messaging, or a step too far that politicizes a holiday icon?
16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson how they are celebrating Christmas this year. A heartfelt Christmas conversation with the American Mamas turns reflective as traditions, faith, and culture collide. From decorating habits and post-Christmas takedowns to honoring family traditions like a beloved Christmas soup party, the discussion quickly moves beyond schedules and decorations. We dive into growing nostalgia for “old-fashioned” Christmas, concerns about cultural and spiritual erosion, and a shared sense that faith itself is under pressure. As fewer Americans attend church but still celebrate Christmas, the Mamas explore whether a spiritual awakening is underway — and why more people are speaking openly about Christian values again. It’s a timely, emotional look at Christmas not just as a holiday, but as a cultural and spiritual battleground.

23:00 A bombshell claim out of Fulton County, Georgia is raising fresh questions about the integrity of the 2020 election — and why the story isn’t getting more attention. County officials have admitted that more than 315,000 ballots were counted without legally required signatures, despite Georgia law mandating them. With the presidential race in Georgia decided by roughly 11,000 votes and Fulton County overwhelmingly favoring Joe Biden, the numbers alone demand serious scrutiny. We compare this revelation to similar disputes in Pennsylvania and Arizona, question past Supreme Court rulings on standing, and contend that if the political roles were reversed, the media response would be deafening. Instead, the story is being buried because it challenges an outcome that was already deemed settled.
26:30 Early 2028 presidential buzz is already heating up, and a new straw poll is sending a clear message about where conservative voters are leaning. At Turning Point USA, JD Vance didn’t just win — he dominated, pulling in an overwhelming share of the vote and leaving every other potential contender in the dust. The margin was so lopsided it raised eyebrows even among seasoned political watchers, especially this far out from an election.
We Dig Deep into what that landslide says about the future of the Republican Party, Donald Trump’s continued influence, and why candidates who don’t align with an America First tone may be effectively shut out. On the Democrat side, the picture looks far less settled, with shaky polling, internal contradictions, and big-name contenders facing tough questions about leadership, competence, and vision.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
American Ground Radio with Lewis r Avaloney and Stephen Park.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
This is America grund Radium, Stephen Parmer, lewisar Eve.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
I am stunned.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
I am stunned. This is how we start every show.
I know, not play the music. I get that to
say the thing, and then you start.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
I mean, I'm reading the headline, I'm reading the story.
The United States Supreme Court has just ruled that the
Commander in chief of our Armed forces cannot deploy the
National Guard to protect federal officers and federal property in Chicago.
(01:36):
Now let this sink in. Not a governor of Illinois
telling the commander in chief no. Not the mayor of
Chicago telling the commander in chief no, but the Supreme
Court of the United States saying, sorry, mister President, you
don't have the authority, at least not yet, to protect
(01:57):
your own people. And this comes out of the case
of Trump the Illinois It was a six to three
ruling handed down by the United States Supreme Court using
their what they call their shadow docket. Basically, there was
no oral argument, no full opinion, no sunlight, just an
(02:21):
unsigned order with enormous real world consequences.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Now, this is a temporary order. This is basically what No,
this is done. No, no, it's not done. No. No.
What they've done is they've said, all right, so a
lower court put an injunction in place that was.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
A temporary that was a temporary injunction that was back
in October.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
And so the Trump administration appealed to the US Supreme
Court and said, hey, overturn this temporary injunction and let
us actually do our job. And the Supreme Court is saying,
you know what, We're not going to overturn the temporary injunction.
We're going to let the case play out. The President
and the administration has not shown so foreign arguments where
(03:05):
they where we think they should be overturning that rule.
So we're not going to overturn it yet. If it
plays out of the courts and he went out in
the lower courts, we may let that stand. But right
now what we're doing is we're letting this temporary injunction stand.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Well, basically, the United States Supreme Court is saying that
the President did not use the magic words, right they
because I and I say that because in this Supreme
Court opinion, it says that the government quote has failed
to identify a source of authority that would allow the
(03:39):
military to execute the laws in Illinois. Yes, that's okay,
but there aren't any laws that are being executed in Illinois.
The National Guard is being deployed to protect federal immigration
officers and federal property.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Well, that's that's more Portland. That's the deployment to Portland
with the ICE officers there because you had Antifa rioting
around Ice every single night and Ice couldn't even do
its job, and so they went.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
That's the mission in Chicago as well.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
But this was also the mission in Chicago was like
the missig in Washington, d C. Like the mission in Memphis,
liked the mission in New Orleans, which was we're actually
going to go in and help the city cut down
on crime, part of the federal crime push. And this
unlike Washingt d C. Where the mayor relented and let
Trump do it, Unlike Memphis where the governor of the
(04:34):
state invited the president, unlike Louisiana, where the governor of
the state has invited the president. In in Illinois, the
governor has resisted and the mayor has resisted, and they've said,
we don't want your national guard here, we don't think
you actually have rights here. And so this is a
little bit different from the case in Portland.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
This is certainly I don't see how it's any different.
I mean, these six justices obviously saw it differently. But
apparently chanting kill I and attacking federal agents and surrounding
a detention center that doesn't rise to the level that
a National Guard deployment is necessary.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
According to the Supreme Court, they didn't identify a source
that would give them the ability to do that.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
So Samuel Alito, joined by Clarence Thomas, I should say,
Justices Alito and Thomas, they wrote a descent.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Whether a three that descended, was it? Thomas, Alito, and
Gorsuch were those the three that dissented.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
He filed his own descent, So, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas,
they both wrote a descent. Alito warned that the protection
of federal officers from potentially legal lethal attacks rather should
not be thwarted by this kind of cramped legal reading.
(05:52):
In other words, are we really going to tell ice agents, sorry,
finn for yourselves while we debate whether this qualify as
a rebellion?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Yes they are, That's what they've done.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
And Neil Gorsich he filed his own dissent, underscoring just
how dangerous this precedent is. Because make no mistake, this
is not just about Chicago. This is about power. This
is about whether the federal government still has the ability
to enforce federal law in jurisdictions that openly defy it.
(06:23):
And this is where the incentives get truly perverse. If
you're a sanctuary city politician, and Chicago is the platinum
standard of sanctuary politics, this ruling up there, this ruling
is a green light. So here's the new playbook. Declare
yourself a sanctuary city. Refuse to cooperate with federal immigration
(06:43):
enforcement allow activists to swarm ice facilities, then downplay the
threats as mostly peaceful, and then run to the federal
court and say we've got it under control. And the
Supreme Court has effectively said, okay, we'll take your word
for it. And the President meantime, is stuck in this
constitutional vice. If he deploys the Guard to protect federal officers,
(07:08):
he's told by the United States Supreme Court that he
lacks statutory authority because the Guard might be quote executing laws.
But if he argues that he has inherent power or
authority under Article two as commander of chiaf in chief,
well then he runs in headlong into the posse commentatus act.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Yeah, I mean, this is a problem.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
So sanctuary cities wins. So hence the sanctuary cities win
tails the president loses. I mean, what, we're gonna flip
a coin here?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Why bother flipping the coin? I mean, yes, the President's
lost on this. The President has lost on this. Now
he still has a chance to win it in the
lower court and to make better arguments in the lower
court than they've done in preliminary arguments. But if he
can't do that, he's going to lose this, okay.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
But Article two of the Constitution, Yeah, does not say
that the president is commander in chief unless a district
judge disagrees. But it does not say unless the city
council passes a sanctuary resolution. And it certainly does not
say unless six justices think things aren't chaotic enough.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Well, it does say that the Supreme Court does get
a check and balance on the administration of the law.
I mean that is it's not an Article two, it's
an Article three. But part of the problem here is
that you have two justices who were nominated to the
Supreme Court by President Trump who have ruled against President Trump.
(08:41):
Two of the of the six that ruled against him,
and it would have made a majority had they joined,
had they joined Alito, had they joined Gorsich, had they
joined Clarence Thomas, Trump would have won this case. But
two of his appointments said no. So, yeah, I disagree
(09:01):
with the outcome, but it's not done. We're gonna let
it play through, and the Trump administration is gonna have
to do a better job of arguing it if they
want to win.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
It just seems wrong that the Supreme Court, at least
for now, is siding with the sanctuary politicians.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Yeah, I agree, but two of his appointments, his appointees
did it. Let's get to the top of things you
needed for tomorrow. Well, first, you can need it for all.
The US economy grew at an impressive four point three
percent in the third quarter of this year. That's according
to numbers released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
(09:39):
Economists had expected three point two percent growth, which still
would have been considered strong growth in the modern era,
but the actual results were more than one percentage higher.
The growth was fueled by an increase in consumer spending
and in exports, and since inflation was held closer to
two percent, the increase in GDP was real and not
just lying with statistics.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
So what is the left gonna do here to spa
in this Away from crediting President Trump.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
They're not going to report on it any good news
for President Trump. They don't cover you. You had to
go this.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Recovery was started during the Biden administry.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
You had to go to Fox Business, you had to
go to CNBC something that deals with the you know,
economic numbers, in order to see it. Most of the
people are gonna ignore it. Second thing you need. They'll
focus on Trump's name being released in some of the
Epstein files instead of that second thing you need Before tomorrow.
President Trump is tripling the self deportation bonus for illegal
immigrants through the end of the year. So far, the
Trump administration has been offering people one thousand dollars to
(10:32):
voluntarily leave the country. This week, the president announced he
would give people three thousand if they left the country
by the end of the year. That's on top of
a free flight to their home country paid for by
the US government. DHS Secretary Christine Nome said illegal aliens
should take advantage of this gift and self deport because
if they don't, we will find them, we will arrest them,
and they will never return.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
I wonder what his next offer is, you know, free
long term parking at the airport.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
The third thing you needed before tomorrow. Former Republican Senator
Ben Sass announced he has pancreatic cancer. Sas represented Nebraska
in the Senate from twenty fifteen through twenty twenty three,
leaving to be the president of the University of Florida
before resigning from that position in twenty twenty four. Sas
said his diagnosis is terminal, he wrote on social media.
(11:20):
Quote it's a death sentence, but I already had a
death sentence before last week. Two we all do, he added,
as a Christian, the week's running up to Christmas are
a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of
what's to come.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Absolutely, you know, and certainly it is times like this
that when you hear about something terrible like this, that
just makes you count your blessings one at a time.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
And pancreatic cancer is a nasty disease. Has taken some
of Steve Jobs died from it. It's a nasty disease.
Speaker 7 (11:53):

Speaker 2 (12:36):
To the mood and do the other thing, not because
they are evy, but because they are on.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
It is time for us to realize that we're too
great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I have a dream that one day this nation will
rise up, live out the true meaning.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Of its tree. Welcome back to American Ground Radio, Stephen
Power Lewis sar avalon a.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
All right, So the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement otherwise
known as ICE. Yeah, of course they are rounding up
illegals in our country, in communities in all fifty states.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Okay, Well, they released.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
An AI video showing Santa Claus, showing an ICE officer
essentially dressed as Santa Claus.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Okay, so this Department of Homeland Security released an AI
video of an ICE officers to Santa Claus.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Yeah, I mean it's kind of a buff Santa Claus.
He's got the you know, he's got the vest on,
you know, the I guess bulletproof vest his ICE. But
he's got the beard and you know, the white.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Hair and all.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Okay, And of course all of this is to advertise
the boosted incentives to self deports. Right, you were talking
about off the top.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
So you get three thousand dollars from the US federal government,
you decide to self deport back to your home country
if you're an illegal alien, and they will pay for
your airfare.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Yes, So my question is this is that too much?
I mean, is it too much to show, I mean,
to appropriate Santa Clause for your marketing campaign of rounding
up illegal aliens? Because look, those illegal aliens they have children. Yeah, okay,
(14:26):
there's already well I mean not them. I don't know
all of them do or not all of them don't,
but there's enough of them. I would venture to say
there are hundreds of thousands of children of you know
well that certainly are looking forward to Santa Claus visiting them,
but not in this way.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Well, I'm just saying I think, you know, honestly, I'm
more offended than they used ai oh my lord, actual
artists to do it.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
But look, Ice isn't wrong about the law. Ice is
not wrong about the need for enforcement. Ice is not
wrong about encouraging people to self deport, right, but using
Santa Claus, I mean, I just feel like we've crossed
the line there.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
That's crossing the line.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I mean, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Coming to the country illegally, that didn't that didn't cross
the line, driving, killing people on our roadways, now, stabbing
a woman on the subway, taking the benefits of creating fraud,
Medicare fraud, medicaid fraud, kicking veterans out of hotels the line.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Some things should be off limits, and I think Santa
Claus needs to remain, you know, just one of those.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Well, if they hadn't come into the country illegally, we
wouldn't even be talking about it. We got a question
for American mama's, your mama's. How are y'all celebrating the
Christmas this year?
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Well, let's ask our American mamas.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
And joining is now we're American mama's. Terry Edville and
Kimberly Burlason, Hey, it's Christmas time. What are you guys
doing to celebrate? You guys, Kimberly, you're always decorating for Christmas.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
I mean that's I am done decorating. Do you know
that on Christmas Day? I take it all down. You
take it all down, take it all down Christmas Day.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
You don't even wait till box.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I don't.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I don't. It's like Christmas Eve is my favorite time.
We played. We Mike plays a guitar, we sing Christmas carols,
we sing, we wake up and we open our presents
and then it's like that's how that's how it feels,
is like, and I'm like, okay, box it up.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
That's how she was as a little girl too, Like
once that day's you know, once you've opened everything, you're like,
oh no, because that Christmas spirits so wonderful for the
whole month. And then you're like, oh my gosh, I
have to wait three hundred and sixty five more days.
But you know, our family, like a lot of people,
if you when you get to our age and you've
got children who are out of college, who are they're adulting,
(17:04):
or they're married, they've got their own families, you find
other days to have Christmas. So we had our we
continued our mom's tradition of Christmas soup party where we
would all gather at her house and she would have
three different kinds of soups and all these yummy appetizers
and desserts, and all the kids we'd all go and
you know, we'd have play games. And she died a
(17:25):
couple of years ago. So this was one of those
things that we were like, we got to keep this going.
It's like our big Christmas. So we did that last
weekend and it was just so fun. It's like a reconnection.
So you realize it doesn't have to be on Christmas
Day if you're surrounded by all of the Christmas stuff
and you know, all of our kids went down to
Fort Worth and you know, they got to see the
(17:47):
lights and show the grand baby, you know, all of
the Christmasy stuff. You have that spirit type thing.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
It's interesting though right now I feel like nostalgic Christmas
is killing me, you know, like going down memory Lane
and looking on and I don't know if I feel
like right now our culture is being is under attack.
I feel like we are in a spiritual warfare. You know,
I'm watching Christmas markets in Europe where these hate groups
(18:13):
are going in and creating havoc and so and trying
to kill it. And so for the first time, I
feel like I never understood. I thought that we were
tough on nothing could hurt our country, nothing could hurt
anything about us, until twenty twenty showed me that we
are very fragile. We're a very fragile country. Our faith
(18:33):
is very fragile as well, and for the first time,
I feel like I am clinging to my faith. I'm
clinging to what we believe in as a country as Christians,
and I will not let it go because I do
feel like it's under attack and I feel like we
cannot sit. I know this is all about Christmas, but
I feel like we as Christians, we are in a
(18:54):
place in our lives where we need to stand for
Jesus more so than we ever have before, because it
is being attacked.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
And I think that's a really good point that most
of the United States, ninety five percent of Americans celebrate Christmas,
but less than seventy percent consider themselves Christian. Only half
are going to church all the time. I mean, what
percentage of Americans are actually going to church to celebrate
Jesus at church this time of year?
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Very it's little, or there's people that that's the only
time that they do celebrate, right, you know, But don't
you feel the same way.
Speaker 9 (19:32):
Yeah, there is there is a spiritual warfare. I feel
like faith is coming back, so I feel a little
bit more hopeful and I know that, you know, right
after Charlie Kirk died. There was this big push and
failed to foult it. So then then you felt the
enemy come in and attack. So now there's a lot
of fractions.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Which what he does. So here's the word the enemy
comes immediately.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
But more and more I'm seeing people talk about their
faith outwardly, even if they don't go to church. They
talk about their love for Jesus. There are Christian values,
and that's something that we haven't seen in a while.
So I feel like that it's like people are feeling
emboldened because that's our only way to fight back against
the enemy.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
And I feel exclent. We cannot be silent, I feel.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
And I think people are more and more are being
vocal about it, and it is the reason for the season.
You know, that's a kind of one of those cliches,
but it really really is. So I think what Kimerly
is talking about is real. If you're nostalgic about it,
that means you go back in time when it felt
like that everybody felt the same way. We were all
on the same page. We're all you know, right was right, wrong,
was wrong?
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Up was up?
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Down was down. Now it's just been so turned over
that we all craved that time in our life. Maybe
it was us living in the bubble. Maybe it was
that we just were blind, We had our blinders on.
We didn't know what the media, we didn't know the
control of the media had on us and those in
the media. So I'm with you. I think we all
long for it. When you see those reels come up
(20:54):
about a nineteen seventies and eighties and nineties and Christmases
and going to the mall, you're like, God, my children
to feel this.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Yeah, yeah, going going to the mall and seeing that,
and and then also you know, caroling at the choirs
at Trity. My uncle was just in a a great
choir doing a Christmas service and singing the Halle Louis
course and all this other stuff. And it was really
cool to see something like nostalgically uh and and singing
(21:23):
praises to Jesus. So a great time in the year
to do that. If you like to ask our American

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen Part with luisar Avalonia.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
You know, not a lot of folks have been talking
about Fulton County, Georgia.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
This is a very interesting story.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
I thought it was the most secure election in American history.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
And apparently of their own admission, by the way, they
have revealed, three hundred and fifteen thousand ballots cast in
the twenty twenty election were submitted, they say, without the
legally required signatures.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
They weren't just submitted, they were county.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
They were counted unsigned, unauthorized, and by definition unlawful under
Georgia election law. Now you know, I again, like you said,
we were told this was the most secure election in
American history. But in Georgia, remember that vote Tallly in
(23:24):
Biden's favor.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Was one hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
No, it was decided by eleven thousand votes eleven roughly
roughly give or take eleven thousand votes.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
But if you just take in just Fulton County, three
hundred and fifteen thousand, thousand, Fulton County went heavily towards
Joe Biden. It's the most democratic place in the States
by total number of votes. And so if you just
look at that three hundred and fifteen thousand, there is
going I would say out of that three hundred and
(23:56):
fifteen thousand, easily easily two hundred thousand of it were
were votes for Biden Trump. Absolutely, so yes, those votes
should have been thrown out because they violated state law.
And if a vote violates state law, it should not
be counted. And so Joe Biden should not have won Georgia.
In Pennsylvania, you had votes that were counted after election
(24:20):
day in Pennsylvania in violation of the election law. In Pennsylvania.
Texas tried to sue over this, and the Supreme Court went, well,
Texas doesn't have standing. Well, if Texas doesn't have standing,
and the private citizens in Pennsylvania who tried to sue
over it don't have standing, then, who the hell has
standing when a state violates its own law. So Supreme
Court got that wrong, So that Georgia should not have
(24:40):
gone to Biden, should have gone to Trump. Pennsylvania should
not have gone to Biden, should have gone to Trump.
There were plenty of Shenanigans Americopa County, in Arizona. I'm
not convinced that that was legit either. You take those
three states, and how do you say that Joe Biden
won that presidency fair and square?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
But just imagine if the admission had gone the other way.
If Fulton County had admitted that three hundred and fifteen
thousand unsigned ballots were counted in a state that Trump
only won by eleven thousand votes. I mean, you wouldn't
be able to hear yourself think over the noise. There
would be congressional hearings, there would be wall to wall coverage,
(25:19):
there would be documentaries, Netflix specials. You'd have professors explaining
how this is a threat to our democracy right because
this admission under the bottom line is this story is
being buried because the admission by Fulton County undermines the
approved outcome. And the approved outcome here was Biden winning
(25:45):
that state. I think it also calls into question the
United States senators, both of them.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
From Georgia, because both of them were supposed to go Republican.
You thought Georgia had always been republic.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
A lot of folks were like so surprised and said, well,
how did this?
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Have they squeak by, Well, you get three hundred and
thirteen thousand fraudulent votes in the most heavily Democrat county
in that entire state, and yeah, it can happen.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
Tell you what.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Let's stick deep, going down, down down. This past week
in Turning Point, USA had a straw pole over who
conservatives at the event would like to see be president
in twenty twenty eight. Can you guess who came in first? No, no,
you can't guess who came in first? Yeah, who came
(26:31):
in first at the Turning Point USA straw pole?
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Jd Vance?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Yeah? Jd Vance came in of course. I don't think
that's a big surprise at this point. Now he is.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
I mean, look, whether you I don't know, there are
a lot of folks that don't like JD. Vance, but
I think Democrats are don't well, I mean, I'm just
talking about among Republicans among conservatives, I agree. I think
there's some conservatives that are like, yeah, I like JD. Vance,
But I mean, do we need to kind of rush
(26:59):
to a coronation?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
I think that's I think that's a fair point that
we maybe should be rushing to a coordination. That's why
I titled this whole segment in our in our news meeting,
you went to the news meeting to always do. Of course,
I titled this the twenty twenty eight way too early polls,
So that's what the segment's call. But look, yeah, I
(27:20):
agree that we should be having a coronation. I don't
think it's I don't think it's a surprise that JD.
Vance came in first. He definitely won over the MAGA
faithful by being a strong helper to President Trump. I
think what's surprising about.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
It was that strong helper was this, mister Rogers, what else?
Speaker 5 (27:36):
How would you describe it? What's what's the right way
to say why Jdvances went over? He is he is
a he's a strong he's a strong helper.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
He's an ally, he's a partner helping, he's more than
a helper. That's all I'm trying to say, Okay, what's.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Surprising about it is that Vance won the straw poll
by so many votes. Vance got eighty four percent of
the vot vote. Eighty four percent.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Second is strong. That's a strong finish there.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Yeah, the second place was Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio got
five percent of the vote. So you're talking about a
seventy nine point advantage for JD. Vance. That's unheard of
this far out from a presidential election in modern history.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
So Marco Rubio, yeah, only got five percent.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Yeah, yeah, second place.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
You know, he would be considered a little helper, wow,
because he's yeah, he's not as he's not challenged.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Like Trump does not call him little Marco little helper.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
He's a little helper. And JD. Vance is the big helper.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Okay. Ron de Santas got three percent, Donald Trump Junior
got two percent, and Ted Cruz got zero point three percent.
Undecided was two point five percent, So the only people
higher than undecided were were JD. Vance, Marco Rubio, and
Ron DeSantis. Now, if you look at the Real Clear
Politics average of polls, it does not include the Turning
Point USA poll from this weekend, then Vance is at
forty nine percent Don Junior is in second place at
(28:58):
eleven percent, and Ruby is at nine percent, just ahead
of run to Santusaso at nine percent. Look, this is
very much Donald Trump's party, now, I think it's part
of what this polling is telling you. If you aren't
moving in Donald Trump's direction in the Republican Party, you
do not stand a chance of winning the nomination for
twenty twenty. Is that fair to say at this point?
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (29:16):
No, Well, I mean I think it's also the spirit
of the leadership that Donald Trump, and you know, I
guess maybe it's the tone. If you are not speaking
in the same tone as President Trump.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Well, if you're not speaking about conviction about America, first,
you're done. Now. Over on the Democrats side, if you
look at the Real Clear Politics average of polls that
shows Gavin Newsom in front with twenty four percent to
Kamala Harrison twenty one percent. But that average of polls
includes a poll that appears to be a huge outlier.
Atlas Intel has a poll with Newsom at thirty five
percent and Harris at just eight percent, and that throws
the whole thing off. No other poll looks anything like that,
(29:53):
and all the other polls, Harris's leading, So if you
drop the Atlas Intel poll, you end up with Harris
at twenty four, Newsom at twenty two. Either way, Newsom
is definitely caught up and maybe in the process of
taking the lead. Amongst Democrats, Pete Budaji has ten percent.
He's in third place, but his approval among black voters
are solo. There's no way he wins the Democrat nomination.
(30:13):
You then have AOC was six percent, Jbie Pritzkred five percent,
and Josh Sapiro.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Goodness, gracious, you know you mentioned all these names for
the Democrat Party all I have and before I even
consider even one of them, my question is what are
their policies? What are the values? I mean, the Democrat.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Policy is that he wants to be president, and he
wants to be president because of his own ego. Kamala
Harrison's reason to vote because she would be the first
black woman to be president, another great reason to elect someone.
AOC wants to be president because well, Boutigue wants to
be president, so he would be the first outwardly.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Game question, I got got a question. Yeah, of all
those folks on the Democrat side that you've mentioned, that
want to be president? Yeah, what have any of them
done to demonstrate any competencies with respect to leading a nation,
leading an organ even an organization for that matter.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
You Havevin Newsom striven hundreds of thousands of people out
of California. Kamala Harris's it is. She's very good at
telling long winded stories.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Like the wheels on the bus.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Yeah, we'll be right back Instagram.

Go to v and I Dot Life slash AGR news

Speaker 6 (32:14):
And speaking of failures in California. You mentioned Gavin Newsom.
Apparently there is some journalism still present in California because
the Los Angeles Times.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
At the Los Angeles Times. There's journalism at the Los
Angeles Times they have I know, it's who know. The
LA Times is owned by the Chicago Tribune. You're telling
me there's there's journalism still going on there.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
Well, they published a very explosive report that the Los
Angeles Fire Department quote unquote watered down. It's after action
report in the wake of the horrific Palisades fire.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Well, that's what you're supposed to do with the fire,
are supposed to water it down.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
I know. Well, what they're saying is based They deleted
parts of the report that would make the department look bad.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Oh, that's not what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
Or otherwise minimized the failures.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Okay, So, for example, one of.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
The deleted passages said that some cruise fire crews waited
more than an hour for an assignment the day of
the fire.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Well, all right, now, the fire stretched for a while,
are they saying the day the fire got.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Gone got going, Yes, and then there was a so.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
They didn't know where to go because nobody had given
them an assignment, and they didn't have the initiative to
say we're going to.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Go here fighting or just right instead of just going
okay wherever.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
It wasn't good leadership, and then there wasn't good follow
through exactly.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Then there was a section labeled failures. Oh, they took
that section out.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Of the report, so there were no failures in the palace.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Well, they renamed it. Oh, primary challenges is what they
renamed it.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
That would be like the introduction to itrimary challenge was
we had a fire, that's the primary challenge. We had
a big, big fire heading towards the populated area, that
would be the primary challenge. We didn't do a good
job of fighting that fire. See, that's the failure. So
you've misnamed it by saying by calling it primary challenges
instead of failures, you're you're lying about what you're actually reporting.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
And apparently the fire department, this is the Los Angeles
Fire Department, removed language saying that the decision to not
fully staff up and pre deploy all available crews and
engines ahead of the extreme wind forecast. Yeah, they took
that out completely. That's though that was in fact a failure.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Did they mention that they had the first female head,
I believe, the first black female head of the Los
Angeles Fire Department. Do they do they put that under
their successes.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
No, they didn't. They did not do that whatsoever. But anyway,
but again, this is about out a society. I mean,
this is emblematic of a society that wants to rewrite
even current events to suit their own narrative.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Because if you can't admit that you've made a mistake,
you will never learn from it. Let's get to a
bright spot.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I'm doing all right, getting this grace.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Okay, this is a bright spot. A ruling today out
of California that is a huge bright spot for parents
and for society in general. California had passed the law
that said teachers and school administrators could make students transgender
in the school and never tell the parents of those
kids that they did it. It's moral outrage, completely un
(35:44):
American for the state to declare itself more important than
the parents and families. It is a communist mindset, and
that explains why California did in the first place. Well,
two California teachers sued, saying the law violated their Christian
beliefs and personal morals to keep parents informed of what's
going on with their children. They were joined in the
lawsuit by parents and by the Thomas Moore Society. Well,
(36:06):
the court ruled in their favor today, and that's the
bright spot. The court wrote, the history and culture of
Western civilization reflect a strong tradition of parental concern for
the nature and upbringing of their children. This primary role
of the parents and the upbringing of the children is
now established beyond debate as an enduring American tradition. The
(36:28):
court says, in America, parents are responsible for raising their kids,
not the state, not the schools, not the Democrat Party. Parents,
that's American.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
Just look at how upside down all of this really is.
Oh yeah, growing up, I mean, schools wanted to include
your parents, yes, as part of some sort of whether
it was discipline right or whether it was some other issues, to.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Talk about whatever's going on with you in the class
and make sure you have improvement. They wanted the parents there.
Speaker 6 (36:59):
You were suffering, you know, I mean, maybe we're having
an emotional issue, or maybe there was something, maybe there
was fighting, whatever it was.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
Why are you looking at me?
Speaker 6 (37:08):
No, No, But the teacher would invite your parents.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
And you fight, yeah, summons, No what no, I.
Speaker 6 (37:16):
Mean you have a discussion about how to address whatever
the issue is.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Fast forward to today and they're keeping the parents in
the dark. The court issued a permanent junction against the
State of California and any educational system in the state
from quote, permit or require any employee in the California
state wide education system from misleading the parent or guardian
of a minor child in the education system about their
child's gender presentation at school, or permit or require any
employee in the California state wide education system to use
(37:44):
a name or pronoun to refer to that child that
do not match the child's legal name and natural pronouns
where a child's parent or legal garden has communicated their
objections such so, the state can't stop any teacher an administrator
from telling parents that their kids have been seeing they're
transder at school. It has to inform the parents of
what's going on. And what's more is the state is
(38:06):
now required to educate all teachers and school administrators about
this new rule. It's not just that they passed this
new finding. They said the state needs to go back
and re educate the teachers and the school administrators and
say you must keep parents informed about what's going on there.
Speaker 6 (38:21):
Yeah, but you know, I mean that all sounds good,
It sounds like common sin. No, no, no, But I
think if a teacher actually does this, do you think
they're going to get promoted within a woke system that
is Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
Well, frankly, if they don't do it, they go to jail.
And that is where this difference is. Instead of being
going to jail for telling parents what's going on with kids,
now you go to jail if you're grooming them and
hiding it. And that's a bright spot because even in California,
if we could turn the nonsense around, there's hope for America.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
You're listening to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
Welcome back to American graut Radium. Stephen parber lewisar Evaloney.
Speaker 6 (39:15):
So here it is right before Christmas and the Trump
administration apparently is wanting to void asylum claims of thousands
who are in our country who have active cases. And
you have ice attorneys who are filing motions to dismiss
these claims without hearings. And you know, the legal change
(39:39):
here is that the Board of Immigration Appeals ordered immigration
judges to resolve all of ICE's third country motions before
asylum hearings. And now you shift the burden onto the
asylum seekers to prove that they are in fact legitimate
(40:02):
asylum claims. Okay, because you know heretofore folks that have
been claiming asylum.
Speaker 5 (40:09):
Well, there it was a lot. Eighty five percent of
all asylum claims were determined to be without merit. And
so the vast enjoy of these people making these claims
so that they can stand in the country were bogus,
made up, not true.
Speaker 6 (40:25):
And so most of these asylum seekers that the administration
is targeting are from Iran and Nicaragua and Russia in particular.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Okay, I mean, so what you're saying is that the
President Trump administration is continue to step up, and so
when it comes to illegal immigration, we're saying, well, well,
in nineteen twenty three, President Calvin Coolidge stood on the
White House lawn impressed the button is more than six
(41:01):
thousand people watched on You see a balsam fir tree
had been transported from Vermont down to Washington, d C.
And was hoisted upright in front of the Presidential residence.
It was the first time that a Christmas tree was
placed on the White House lawn, and with it that
push of that button, twoy five hundred electric lights brightened
up the evening. The Christmas tree lighting has been a
(41:23):
presidential tradition ever since. Shortly after, President Coolidge spoke over
the radio to the nation, saying Christmas is not a
time or season, but a state of mind. To cherish
peace and goodwill. To be plintious in mercy is to
have the real spirit.
Speaker 6 (41:37):
Of Christmas absolutely and to remember that the real reason
for the season is Christ himself.
Speaker 5 (41:44):
May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

American Ground Radio with Lewis r Avaloney and Stephen Park.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
This is America grund Radium, Stephen Parmer, lewisar Eve.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
I am stunned.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
I am stunned. This is how we start every show.
I know, not play the music. I get that to
say the thing, and then you start.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
I mean, I'm reading the headline, I'm reading the story.
The United States Supreme Court has just ruled that the
Commander in chief of our Armed forces cannot deploy the
National Guard to protect federal officers and federal property in Chicago.
(01:36):
Now let this sink in. Not a governor of Illinois
telling the commander in chief no. Not the mayor of
Chicago telling the commander in chief no, but the Supreme
Court of the United States saying, sorry, mister President, you
don't have the authority, at least not yet, to protect
(01:57):
your own people. And this comes out of the case
of Trump the Illinois It was a six to three
ruling handed down by the United States Supreme Court using
their what they call their shadow docket. Basically, there was
no oral argument, no full opinion, no sunlight, just an
(02:21):
unsigned order with enormous real world consequences.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Now, this is a temporary order. This is basically what No,
this is done. No, no, it's not done. No. No.
What they've done is they've said, all right, so a
lower court put an injunction in place that was.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
A temporary that was a temporary injunction that was back
in October.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
And so the Trump administration appealed to the US Supreme
Court and said, hey, overturn this temporary injunction and let
us actually do our job. And the Supreme Court is saying,
you know what, We're not going to overturn the temporary injunction.
We're going to let the case play out. The President
and the administration has not shown so foreign arguments where
(03:05):
they where we think they should be overturning that rule.
So we're not going to overturn it yet. If it
plays out of the courts and he went out in
the lower courts, we may let that stand. But right
now what we're doing is we're letting this temporary injunction stand.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Well, basically, the United States Supreme Court is saying that
the President did not use the magic words, right they
because I and I say that because in this Supreme
Court opinion, it says that the government quote has failed
to identify a source of authority that would allow the
(03:39):
military to execute the laws in Illinois. Yes, that's okay,
but there aren't any laws that are being executed in Illinois.
The National Guard is being deployed to protect federal immigration
officers and federal property.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Well, that's that's more Portland. That's the deployment to Portland
with the ICE officers there because you had Antifa rioting
around Ice every single night and Ice couldn't even do
its job, and so they went.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
That's the mission in Chicago as well.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
But this was also the mission in Chicago was like
the missig in Washington, d C. Like the mission in Memphis,
liked the mission in New Orleans, which was we're actually
going to go in and help the city cut down
on crime, part of the federal crime push. And this
unlike Washingt d C. Where the mayor relented and let
Trump do it, Unlike Memphis where the governor of the
(04:34):
state invited the president, unlike Louisiana, where the governor of
the state has invited the president. In in Illinois, the
governor has resisted and the mayor has resisted, and they've said,
we don't want your national guard here, we don't think
you actually have rights here. And so this is a
little bit different from the case in Portland.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
This is certainly I don't see how it's any different.
I mean, these six justices obviously saw it differently. But
apparently chanting kill I and attacking federal agents and surrounding
a detention center that doesn't rise to the level that
a National Guard deployment is necessary.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
According to the Supreme Court, they didn't identify a source
that would give them the ability to do that.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
So Samuel Alito, joined by Clarence Thomas, I should say,
Justices Alito and Thomas, they wrote a descent.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Whether a three that descended, was it? Thomas, Alito, and
Gorsuch were those the three that dissented.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
He filed his own descent, So, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas,
they both wrote a descent. Alito warned that the protection
of federal officers from potentially legal lethal attacks rather should
not be thwarted by this kind of cramped legal reading.
(05:52):
In other words, are we really going to tell ice agents, sorry,
finn for yourselves while we debate whether this qualify as
a rebellion?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Yes they are, That's what they've done.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
And Neil Gorsich he filed his own dissent, underscoring just
how dangerous this precedent is. Because make no mistake, this
is not just about Chicago. This is about power. This
is about whether the federal government still has the ability
to enforce federal law in jurisdictions that openly defy it.
(06:23):
And this is where the incentives get truly perverse. If
you're a sanctuary city politician, and Chicago is the platinum
standard of sanctuary politics, this ruling up there, this ruling
is a green light. So here's the new playbook. Declare
yourself a sanctuary city. Refuse to cooperate with federal immigration
(06:43):
enforcement allow activists to swarm ice facilities, then downplay the
threats as mostly peaceful, and then run to the federal
court and say we've got it under control. And the
Supreme Court has effectively said, okay, we'll take your word
for it. And the President meantime, is stuck in this
constitutional vice. If he deploys the Guard to protect federal officers,
(07:08):
he's told by the United States Supreme Court that he
lacks statutory authority because the Guard might be quote executing laws.
But if he argues that he has inherent power or
authority under Article two as commander of chiaf in chief,
well then he runs in headlong into the posse commentatus act.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Yeah, I mean, this is a problem.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
So sanctuary cities wins. So hence the sanctuary cities win
tails the president loses. I mean, what, we're gonna flip
a coin here?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Why bother flipping the coin? I mean, yes, the President's
lost on this. The President has lost on this. Now
he still has a chance to win it in the
lower court and to make better arguments in the lower
court than they've done in preliminary arguments. But if he
can't do that, he's going to lose this, okay.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
But Article two of the Constitution, Yeah, does not say
that the president is commander in chief unless a district
judge disagrees. But it does not say unless the city
council passes a sanctuary resolution. And it certainly does not
say unless six justices think things aren't chaotic enough.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Well, it does say that the Supreme Court does get
a check and balance on the administration of the law.
I mean that is it's not an Article two, it's
an Article three. But part of the problem here is
that you have two justices who were nominated to the
Supreme Court by President Trump who have ruled against President Trump.
(08:41):
Two of the of the six that ruled against him,
and it would have made a majority had they joined,
had they joined Alito, had they joined Gorsich, had they
joined Clarence Thomas, Trump would have won this case. But
two of his appointments said no. So, yeah, I disagree
(09:01):
with the outcome, but it's not done. We're gonna let
it play through, and the Trump administration is gonna have
to do a better job of arguing it if they
want to win.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
It just seems wrong that the Supreme Court, at least
for now, is siding with the sanctuary politicians.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Yeah, I agree, but two of his appointments, his appointees
did it. Let's get to the top of things you
needed for tomorrow. Well, first, you can need it for all.
The US economy grew at an impressive four point three
percent in the third quarter of this year. That's according
to numbers released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
(09:39):
Economists had expected three point two percent growth, which still
would have been considered strong growth in the modern era,
but the actual results were more than one percentage higher.
The growth was fueled by an increase in consumer spending
and in exports, and since inflation was held closer to
two percent, the increase in GDP was real and not
just lying with statistics.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
So what is the left gonna do here to spa
in this Away from crediting President Trump.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
They're not going to report on it any good news
for President Trump. They don't cover you. You had to
go this.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Recovery was started during the Biden administry.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
You had to go to Fox Business, you had to
go to CNBC something that deals with the you know,
economic numbers, in order to see it. Most of the
people are gonna ignore it. Second thing you need. They'll
focus on Trump's name being released in some of the
Epstein files instead of that second thing you need Before tomorrow.
President Trump is tripling the self deportation bonus for illegal
immigrants through the end of the year. So far, the
Trump administration has been offering people one thousand dollars to
(10:32):
voluntarily leave the country. This week, the president announced he
would give people three thousand if they left the country
by the end of the year. That's on top of
a free flight to their home country paid for by
the US government. DHS Secretary Christine Nome said illegal aliens
should take advantage of this gift and self deport because
if they don't, we will find them, we will arrest them,
and they will never return.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
I wonder what his next offer is, you know, free
long term parking at the airport.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
The third thing you needed before tomorrow. Former Republican Senator
Ben Sass announced he has pancreatic cancer. Sas represented Nebraska
in the Senate from twenty fifteen through twenty twenty three,
leaving to be the president of the University of Florida
before resigning from that position in twenty twenty four. Sas
said his diagnosis is terminal, he wrote on social media.
(11:20):
Quote it's a death sentence, but I already had a
death sentence before last week. Two we all do, he added,
as a Christian, the week's running up to Christmas are
a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of
what's to come.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Absolutely, you know, and certainly it is times like this
that when you hear about something terrible like this, that
just makes you count your blessings one at a time.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
And pancreatic cancer is a nasty disease. Has taken some
of Steve Jobs died from it. It's a nasty disease.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
You are listening to American Ground Radio.

To the mood and do the other thing, not because

Speaker 4 (12:42):
It is time for us to realize that we're too
great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I have a dream that one day this nation will
rise up, live out the true meaning.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Of its tree. Welcome back to American Ground Radio, Stephen
Power Lewis sar avalon a.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
All right, So the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement otherwise
known as ICE. Yeah, of course they are rounding up
illegals in our country, in communities in all fifty states.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Okay, Well, they released.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
An AI video showing Santa Claus, showing an ICE officer
essentially dressed as Santa Claus.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Okay, so this Department of Homeland Security released an AI
video of an ICE officers to Santa Claus.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
Yeah, I mean it's kind of a buff Santa Claus.
He's got the you know, he's got the vest on,
you know, the I guess bulletproof vest his ICE. But
he's got the beard and you know, the white.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Hair and all.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Okay, And of course all of this is to advertise
the boosted incentives to self deports. Right, you were talking
about off the top.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
So you get three thousand dollars from the US federal government,
you decide to self deport back to your home country
if you're an illegal alien, and they will pay for
your airfare.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Yes, So my question is this is that too much?
I mean, is it too much to show, I mean,
to appropriate Santa Clause for your marketing campaign of rounding
up illegal aliens? Because look, those illegal aliens they have children. Yeah, okay,
(14:26):
there's already well I mean not them. I don't know
all of them do or not all of them don't,
but there's enough of them. I would venture to say
there are hundreds of thousands of children of you know
well that certainly are looking forward to Santa Claus visiting them,
but not in this way.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Well, I'm just saying I think, you know, honestly, I'm
more offended than they used ai oh my lord, actual
artists to do it.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
But look, Ice isn't wrong about the law. Ice is
not wrong about the need for enforcement. Ice is not
wrong about encouraging people to self deport, right, but using
Santa Claus, I mean, I just feel like we've crossed
the line there.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
That's crossing the line.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I mean, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Coming to the country illegally, that didn't that didn't cross
the line, driving, killing people on our roadways, now, stabbing
a woman on the subway, taking the benefits of creating fraud,
Medicare fraud, medicaid fraud, kicking veterans out of hotels the line.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Some things should be off limits, and I think Santa
Claus needs to remain, you know, just one of those.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Well, if they hadn't come into the country illegally, we
wouldn't even be talking about it. We got a question
for American mama's, your mama's. How are y'all celebrating the
Christmas this year?
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Well, let's ask our American mamas.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
And joining is now we're American mama's. Terry Edville and
Kimberly Burlason, Hey, it's Christmas time. What are you guys
doing to celebrate? You guys, Kimberly, you're always decorating for Christmas.
Speaker 8 (16:16):
I mean that's I am done decorating. Do you know
that on Christmas Day? I take it all down. You
take it all down, take it all down Christmas Day.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
You don't even wait till box.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I don't.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I don't. It's like Christmas Eve is my favorite time.
We played. We Mike plays a guitar, we sing Christmas carols,
we sing, we wake up and we open our presents
and then it's like that's how that's how it feels,
is like, and I'm like, okay, box it up.
Speaker 9 (16:43):
That's how she was as a little girl too, Like
once that day's you know, once you've opened everything, you're like,
oh no, because that Christmas spirits so wonderful for the
whole month. And then you're like, oh my gosh, I
have to wait three hundred and sixty five more days.
But you know, our family, like a lot of people,
if you when you get to our age and you've
got children who are out of college, who are they're adulting,
(17:04):
or they're married, they've got their own families, you find
other days to have Christmas. So we had our we
continued our mom's tradition of Christmas soup party where we
would all gather at her house and she would have
three different kinds of soups and all these yummy appetizers
and desserts, and all the kids we'd all go and
you know, we'd have play games. And she died a
(17:25):
couple of years ago. So this was one of those
things that we were like, we got to keep this going.
It's like our big Christmas. So we did that last
weekend and it was just so fun. It's like a reconnection.
So you realize it doesn't have to be on Christmas
Day if you're surrounded by all of the Christmas stuff
and you know, all of our kids went down to
Fort Worth and you know, they got to see the
(17:47):
lights and show the grand baby, you know, all of
the Christmasy stuff. You have that spirit type thing.
Speaker 8 (17:53):
It's interesting though right now I feel like nostalgic Christmas
is killing me, you know, like going down memory Lane
and looking on and I don't know if I feel
like right now our culture is being is under attack.
I feel like we are in a spiritual warfare. You know,
I'm watching Christmas markets in Europe where these hate groups
(18:13):
are going in and creating havoc and so and trying
to kill it. And so for the first time, I
feel like I never understood. I thought that we were
tough on nothing could hurt our country, nothing could hurt
anything about us, until twenty twenty showed me that we
are very fragile. We're a very fragile country. Our faith
(18:33):
is very fragile as well, and for the first time,
I feel like I am clinging to my faith. I'm
clinging to what we believe in as a country as Christians,
and I will not let it go because I do
feel like it's under attack and I feel like we
cannot sit. I know this is all about Christmas, but
I feel like we as Christians, we are in a
(18:54):
place in our lives where we need to stand for
Jesus more so than we ever have before, because it
is being attacked.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
And I think that's a really good point that most
of the United States, ninety five percent of Americans celebrate Christmas,
but less than seventy percent consider themselves Christian. Only half
are going to church all the time. I mean, what
percentage of Americans are actually going to church to celebrate
Jesus at church this time of year?
Speaker 8 (19:24):
Very it's little, or there's people that that's the only
time that they do celebrate, right, you know, But don't
you feel the same way.
Speaker 9 (19:32):
Yeah, there is there is a spiritual warfare. I feel
like faith is coming back, so I feel a little
bit more hopeful and I know that, you know, right
after Charlie Kirk died. There was this big push and
failed to foult it. So then then you felt the
enemy come in and attack. So now there's a lot
of fractions.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Which what he does. So here's the word the enemy
comes immediately.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
But more and more I'm seeing people talk about their
faith outwardly, even if they don't go to church. They
talk about their love for Jesus. There are Christian values,
and that's something that we haven't seen in a while.
So I feel like that it's like people are feeling
emboldened because that's our only way to fight back against
the enemy.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
And I feel exclent. We cannot be silent, I feel.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
And I think people are more and more are being
vocal about it, and it is the reason for the season.
You know, that's a kind of one of those cliches,
but it really really is. So I think what Kimerly
is talking about is real. If you're nostalgic about it,
that means you go back in time when it felt
like that everybody felt the same way. We were all
on the same page. We're all you know, right was right, wrong,
was wrong?
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Up was up?
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Down was down. Now it's just been so turned over
that we all craved that time in our life. Maybe
it was us living in the bubble. Maybe it was
that we just were blind, We had our blinders on.
We didn't know what the media, we didn't know the
control of the media had on us and those in
the media. So I'm with you. I think we all
long for it. When you see those reels come up
(20:54):
about a nineteen seventies and eighties and nineties and Christmases
and going to the mall, you're like, God, my children
to feel this.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Yeah, yeah, going going to the mall and seeing that,
and and then also you know, caroling at the choirs
at Trity. My uncle was just in a a great
choir doing a Christmas service and singing the Halle Louis
course and all this other stuff. And it was really
cool to see something like nostalgically uh and and singing
(21:23):
praises to Jesus. So a great time in the year
to do that. If you like to ask our American

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen Part with luisar Avalonia.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
You know, not a lot of folks have been talking
about Fulton County, Georgia.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
This is a very interesting story.
Speaker 8 (22:37):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
I thought it was the most secure election in American history.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
And apparently of their own admission, by the way, they
have revealed, three hundred and fifteen thousand ballots cast in
the twenty twenty election were submitted, they say, without the
legally required signatures.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
They weren't just submitted, they were county.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
They were counted unsigned, unauthorized, and by definition unlawful under
Georgia election law. Now you know, I again, like you said,
we were told this was the most secure election in
American history. But in Georgia, remember that vote Tallly in
(23:24):
Biden's favor.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Was one hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
No, it was decided by eleven thousand votes eleven roughly
roughly give or take eleven thousand votes.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
But if you just take in just Fulton County, three
hundred and fifteen thousand, thousand, Fulton County went heavily towards
Joe Biden. It's the most democratic place in the States
by total number of votes. And so if you just
look at that three hundred and fifteen thousand, there is
going I would say out of that three hundred and
(23:56):
fifteen thousand, easily easily two hundred thousand of it were
were votes for Biden Trump. Absolutely, so yes, those votes
should have been thrown out because they violated state law.
And if a vote violates state law, it should not
be counted. And so Joe Biden should not have won Georgia.
In Pennsylvania, you had votes that were counted after election
(24:20):
day in Pennsylvania in violation of the election law. In Pennsylvania.
Texas tried to sue over this, and the Supreme Court went, well,
Texas doesn't have standing. Well, if Texas doesn't have standing,
and the private citizens in Pennsylvania who tried to sue
over it don't have standing, then, who the hell has
standing when a state violates its own law. So Supreme
Court got that wrong, So that Georgia should not have
(24:40):
gone to Biden, should have gone to Trump. Pennsylvania should
not have gone to Biden, should have gone to Trump.
There were plenty of Shenanigans Americopa County, in Arizona. I'm
not convinced that that was legit either. You take those
three states, and how do you say that Joe Biden
won that presidency fair and square?
Speaker 6 (24:56):
But just imagine if the admission had gone the other way.
If Fulton County had admitted that three hundred and fifteen
thousand unsigned ballots were counted in a state that Trump
only won by eleven thousand votes. I mean, you wouldn't
be able to hear yourself think over the noise. There
would be congressional hearings, there would be wall to wall coverage,
(25:19):
there would be documentaries, Netflix specials. You'd have professors explaining
how this is a threat to our democracy right because
this admission under the bottom line is this story is
being buried because the admission by Fulton County undermines the
approved outcome. And the approved outcome here was Biden winning
(25:45):
that state. I think it also calls into question the
United States senators, both of them.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
From Georgia, because both of them were supposed to go Republican.
You thought Georgia had always been republic.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
A lot of folks were like so surprised and said, well,
how did this?
Speaker 5 (25:58):
Have they squeak by, Well, you get three hundred and
thirteen thousand fraudulent votes in the most heavily Democrat county
in that entire state, and yeah, it can happen.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
Tell you what.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Let's stick deep, going down, down down. This past week
in Turning Point, USA had a straw pole over who
conservatives at the event would like to see be president
in twenty twenty eight. Can you guess who came in first? No, no,
you can't guess who came in first? Yeah, who came
(26:31):
in first at the Turning Point USA straw pole?
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Jd Vance?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Yeah? Jd Vance came in of course. I don't think
that's a big surprise at this point. Now he is.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
I mean, look, whether you I don't know, there are
a lot of folks that don't like JD. Vance, but
I think Democrats are don't well, I mean, I'm just
talking about among Republicans among conservatives, I agree. I think
there's some conservatives that are like, yeah, I like JD. Vance,
But I mean, do we need to kind of rush
(26:59):
to a coronation?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
I think that's I think that's a fair point that
we maybe should be rushing to a coordination. That's why
I titled this whole segment in our in our news meeting,
you went to the news meeting to always do. Of course,
I titled this the twenty twenty eight way too early polls,
So that's what the segment's call. But look, yeah, I
(27:20):
agree that we should be having a coronation. I don't
think it's I don't think it's a surprise that JD.
Vance came in first. He definitely won over the MAGA
faithful by being a strong helper to President Trump. I
think what's surprising about.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
It was that strong helper was this, mister Rogers, what else?
Speaker 5 (27:36):
How would you describe it? What's what's the right way
to say why Jdvances went over? He is he is
a he's a strong he's a strong helper.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
He's an ally, he's a partner helping, he's more than
a helper. That's all I'm trying to say, Okay, what's.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Surprising about it is that Vance won the straw poll
by so many votes. Vance got eighty four percent of
the vot vote. Eighty four percent.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Second is strong. That's a strong finish there.
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Yeah, the second place was Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio got
five percent of the vote. So you're talking about a
seventy nine point advantage for JD. Vance. That's unheard of
this far out from a presidential election in modern history.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
So Marco Rubio, yeah, only got five percent.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
Yeah, yeah, second place.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
You know, he would be considered a little helper, wow,
because he's yeah, he's not as he's not challenged.
Speaker 5 (28:28):
Like Trump does not call him little Marco little helper.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
He's a little helper. And JD. Vance is the big helper.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
Okay. Ron de Santas got three percent, Donald Trump Junior
got two percent, and Ted Cruz got zero point three percent.
Undecided was two point five percent, So the only people
higher than undecided were were JD. Vance, Marco Rubio, and
Ron DeSantis. Now, if you look at the Real Clear
Politics average of polls, it does not include the Turning
Point USA poll from this weekend, then Vance is at
forty nine percent Don Junior is in second place at
(28:58):
eleven percent, and Ruby is at nine percent, just ahead
of run to Santusaso at nine percent. Look, this is
very much Donald Trump's party, now, I think it's part
of what this polling is telling you. If you aren't
moving in Donald Trump's direction in the Republican Party, you
do not stand a chance of winning the nomination for
twenty twenty. Is that fair to say at this point?
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (29:16):
No, Well, I mean I think it's also the spirit
of the leadership that Donald Trump, and you know, I
guess maybe it's the tone. If you are not speaking
in the same tone as President Trump.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Well, if you're not speaking about conviction about America, first,
you're done. Now. Over on the Democrats side, if you
look at the Real Clear Politics average of polls that
shows Gavin Newsom in front with twenty four percent to
Kamala Harrison twenty one percent. But that average of polls
includes a poll that appears to be a huge outlier.
Atlas Intel has a poll with Newsom at thirty five
percent and Harris at just eight percent, and that throws
the whole thing off. No other poll looks anything like that,
(29:53):
and all the other polls, Harris's leading, So if you
drop the Atlas Intel poll, you end up with Harris
at twenty four, Newsom at twenty two. Either way, Newsom
is definitely caught up and maybe in the process of
taking the lead. Amongst Democrats, Pete Budaji has ten percent.
He's in third place, but his approval among black voters
are solo. There's no way he wins the Democrat nomination.
(30:13):
You then have AOC was six percent, Jbie Pritzkred five percent,
and Josh Sapiro.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Goodness, gracious, you know you mentioned all these names for
the Democrat Party all I have and before I even
consider even one of them, my question is what are
their policies? What are the values? I mean, the Democrat.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
Policy is that he wants to be president, and he
wants to be president because of his own ego. Kamala
Harrison's reason to vote because she would be the first
black woman to be president, another great reason to elect someone.
AOC wants to be president because well, Boutigue wants to
be president, so he would be the first outwardly.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
Game question, I got got a question. Yeah, of all
those folks on the Democrat side that you've mentioned, that
want to be president? Yeah, what have any of them
done to demonstrate any competencies with respect to leading a nation,
leading an organ even an organization for that matter.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
You Havevin Newsom striven hundreds of thousands of people out
of California. Kamala Harris's it is. She's very good at
telling long winded stories.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Like the wheels on the bus.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Yeah, we'll be right back Instagram.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
You're listening to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Hey, Steven, do you ever wish your energy boost came

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Well.

Go to v and I Dot Life slash AGR news

to American Ground Radio. Stephen Poward of Lewis sar avalon.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
And speaking of failures in California. You mentioned Gavin Newsom.
Apparently there is some journalism still present in California because
the Los Angeles Times.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
At the Los Angeles Times. There's journalism at the Los
Angeles Times they have I know, it's who know. The
LA Times is owned by the Chicago Tribune. You're telling
me there's there's journalism still going on there.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
Well, they published a very explosive report that the Los
Angeles Fire Department quote unquote watered down. It's after action
report in the wake of the horrific Palisades fire.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Well, that's what you're supposed to do with the fire,
are supposed to water it down.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
I know. Well, what they're saying is based They deleted
parts of the report that would make the department look bad.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Oh, that's not what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 6 (33:08):
Or otherwise minimized the failures.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Okay, So, for example, one of.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
The deleted passages said that some cruise fire crews waited
more than an hour for an assignment the day of
the fire.
Speaker 5 (33:25):
Well, all right, now, the fire stretched for a while,
are they saying the day the fire got.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Gone got going, Yes, and then there was a so.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
They didn't know where to go because nobody had given
them an assignment, and they didn't have the initiative to
say we're going to.
Speaker 6 (33:36):
Go here fighting or just right instead of just going
okay wherever.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
It wasn't good leadership, and then there wasn't good follow
through exactly.
Speaker 6 (33:45):
Then there was a section labeled failures. Oh, they took
that section out.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Of the report, so there were no failures in the palace.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Well, they renamed it. Oh, primary challenges is what they
renamed it.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
That would be like the introduction to itrimary challenge was
we had a fire, that's the primary challenge. We had
a big, big fire heading towards the populated area, that
would be the primary challenge. We didn't do a good
job of fighting that fire. See, that's the failure. So
you've misnamed it by saying by calling it primary challenges
instead of failures, you're you're lying about what you're actually reporting.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
And apparently the fire department, this is the Los Angeles
Fire Department, removed language saying that the decision to not
fully staff up and pre deploy all available crews and
engines ahead of the extreme wind forecast. Yeah, they took
that out completely. That's though that was in fact a failure.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
Did they mention that they had the first female head,
I believe, the first black female head of the Los
Angeles Fire Department. Do they do they put that under
their successes.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
No, they didn't. They did not do that whatsoever. But anyway,
but again, this is about out a society. I mean,
this is emblematic of a society that wants to rewrite
even current events to suit their own narrative.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Because if you can't admit that you've made a mistake,
you will never learn from it. Let's get to a
bright spot.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I'm doing all right, getting this grace.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Okay, this is a bright spot. A ruling today out
of California that is a huge bright spot for parents
and for society in general. California had passed the law
that said teachers and school administrators could make students transgender
in the school and never tell the parents of those
kids that they did it. It's moral outrage, completely un
(35:44):
American for the state to declare itself more important than
the parents and families. It is a communist mindset, and
that explains why California did in the first place. Well,
two California teachers sued, saying the law violated their Christian
beliefs and personal morals to keep parents informed of what's
going on with their children. They were joined in the
lawsuit by parents and by the Thomas Moore Society. Well,
(36:06):
the court ruled in their favor today, and that's the
bright spot. The court wrote, the history and culture of
Western civilization reflect a strong tradition of parental concern for
the nature and upbringing of their children. This primary role
of the parents and the upbringing of the children is
now established beyond debate as an enduring American tradition. The
(36:28):
court says, in America, parents are responsible for raising their kids,
not the state, not the schools, not the Democrat Party. Parents,
that's American.
Speaker 6 (36:39):
Just look at how upside down all of this really is.
Oh yeah, growing up, I mean, schools wanted to include
your parents, yes, as part of some sort of whether
it was discipline right or whether it was some other issues, to.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Talk about whatever's going on with you in the class
and make sure you have improvement. They wanted the parents there.
Speaker 6 (36:59):
You were suffering, you know, I mean, maybe we're having
an emotional issue, or maybe there was something, maybe there
was fighting, whatever it was.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
Why are you looking at me?
Speaker 6 (37:08):
No, No, But the teacher would invite your parents.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
And you fight, yeah, summons, No what no, I.
Speaker 6 (37:16):
Mean you have a discussion about how to address whatever
the issue is.
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Fast forward to today and they're keeping the parents in
the dark. The court issued a permanent junction against the
State of California and any educational system in the state
from quote, permit or require any employee in the California
state wide education system from misleading the parent or guardian
of a minor child in the education system about their
child's gender presentation at school, or permit or require any
employee in the California state wide education system to use
(37:44):
a name or pronoun to refer to that child that
do not match the child's legal name and natural pronouns
where a child's parent or legal garden has communicated their
objections such so, the state can't stop any teacher an administrator
from telling parents that their kids have been seeing they're
transder at school. It has to inform the parents of
what's going on. And what's more is the state is
(38:06):
now required to educate all teachers and school administrators about
this new rule. It's not just that they passed this
new finding. They said the state needs to go back
and re educate the teachers and the school administrators and
say you must keep parents informed about what's going on there.
Speaker 6 (38:21):
Yeah, but you know, I mean that all sounds good,
It sounds like common sin. No, no, no, But I
think if a teacher actually does this, do you think
they're going to get promoted within a woke system that
is Los Angeles.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
Well, frankly, if they don't do it, they go to jail.
And that is where this difference is. Instead of being
going to jail for telling parents what's going on with kids,
now you go to jail if you're grooming them and
hiding it. And that's a bright spot because even in California,
if we could turn the nonsense around, there's hope for America.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
You're listening to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 5 (39:12):
Welcome back to American graut Radium. Stephen parber lewisar Evaloney.
Speaker 6 (39:15):
So here it is right before Christmas and the Trump
administration apparently is wanting to void asylum claims of thousands
who are in our country who have active cases. And
you have ice attorneys who are filing motions to dismiss
these claims without hearings. And you know, the legal change
(39:39):
here is that the Board of Immigration Appeals ordered immigration
judges to resolve all of ICE's third country motions before
asylum hearings. And now you shift the burden onto the
asylum seekers to prove that they are in fact legitimate
(40:02):
asylum claims. Okay, because you know heretofore folks that have
been claiming asylum.
Speaker 5 (40:09):
Well, there it was a lot. Eighty five percent of
all asylum claims were determined to be without merit. And
so the vast enjoy of these people making these claims
so that they can stand in the country were bogus,
made up, not true.
Speaker 6 (40:25):
And so most of these asylum seekers that the administration
is targeting are from Iran and Nicaragua and Russia in particular.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Okay, I mean, so what you're saying is that the
President Trump administration is continue to step up, and so
when it comes to illegal immigration, we're saying, well, well,
in nineteen twenty three, President Calvin Coolidge stood on the
White House lawn impressed the button is more than six
(41:01):
thousand people watched on You see a balsam fir tree
had been transported from Vermont down to Washington, d C.
And was hoisted upright in front of the Presidential residence.
It was the first time that a Christmas tree was
placed on the White House lawn, and with it that
push of that button, twoy five hundred electric lights brightened
up the evening. The Christmas tree lighting has been a
(41:23):
presidential tradition ever since. Shortly after, President Coolidge spoke over
the radio to the nation, saying Christmas is not a
time or season, but a state of mind. To cherish
peace and goodwill. To be plintious in mercy is to
have the real spirit.
Speaker 6 (41:37):
Of Christmas absolutely and to remember that the real reason
for the season is Christ himself.
Speaker 5 (41:44):
May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
