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-

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Because of you, American Ground Radio has heard in more
markets than you could shake his stick at, which in
California is now considered a microaggression against trees. It's outrageous.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Grab the hatch and sell us.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
That we choose to go to the moon and do
the other thing, not because they are eady, but because
they are odd.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It is time for us to realize that we're too
great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I have a dream that one day this nation will
rise up, live out the true meaning.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Of its cream.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
American Ground Radio with Lewis r Avalone and Stephen.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Pokol, this is American Grimmery.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Stephen Palmers, Lewis, you know, what we are witnessing in
California right now is one of the most absurd acts
of I would say political theater. But I'm going to
add to that judicial theater masquerading as some constitutional concern
that this country, you know, should be concerned about. Okay,
(01:22):
So you've got this federal judge out there, US District
Judge Charles Bryer, right, and he has now ordered the
Trump administration to stop deploying the California National Guard in
Los Angeles. Basically returned the control of those troops to
the governor.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Governor Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So we have one judge who now thinks the judge
is the commander in chief of the military. Well, exactly,
because the Constitution says the President of the United States
is the commander in chief of the military.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Let me just say what That's what the Constitution says,
one percent, and I'll cite that to you. It's Article one,
Section eight, Clauses fifteen and sixteen, and it says to
provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws
of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
That is, that is a clause.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
That specifically explicitly gives the federal government the power to
do that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
To execute the laws of the Union. That's right, exactly right, Okay, well,
that's what the National Guard is doing there in Los Angeles,
making sure that immigration law that the ICE is able
to do their job.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
But then you have to read that in conjunction with
Article two, section two, which indicates the president is the
commander in chief. That clause says the President shall be
Commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the
United States and of the militia of the several states.
So that's the national Guard when called into actual service
(03:01):
of the United States.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
There it is clear as day.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
It's written in whatever inc that they used back in
seventeen seventy six. It's lasted this long. But when the
militia today's National Guard is called into federal service, the president,
not the governor, commands them.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
But this isn't even about the government. This is about
a judge. A judge in California thinks the judge is
the supreme commander of the soldiers, and the judge gets
to deside how the soldiers are used or how they
aren't used.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Well, he obviously it's not really you call him a judge.
But if he had just taken a brief stroll through
constitutional case law, rather than sprinting towards a political outcome,
he would have noticed that the Supreme Court has already
upheld this presidential authority more than once.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Here's one of the ways that you can tell if
somebody is a good judge or not whether they will
rule against their own opinion, because not everybody is going
to agree that every single law is the best way
to do.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Why you're talking about a political opinion.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
You're talking about a legal opinion, because lawyers can differ
on on legal theory, and certainly.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
All play those games all the application of law. But
if you don't look at what the text says, look
at the text of the law with text of the Constitution,
and you go, okay, well this is what it says. Now,
I personally don't think Donald Trump should be in charge,
but the law says this. My job is to be
the judge, and so I'm going to say what the
law says. If you don't. If you have a judge
that never rules against their own personal opinion, then that
(04:42):
is a bad judge because they think they've replaced their
judgment with justice.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Well, and look to his credit, to the judge's credit here,
he did postpone the enforcement of his decision until Monday,
and so.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Presumably he is going to get overturned.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
But presumably he's allowing the administration to mount a defense.
Oh but I want to go back to and this
is the National Defense Act of nineteen sixteen.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
For anyone that is not clear.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
More than one hundred nine years old.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
So that Act of nineteen sixteen cemented the National Guard
as the primary reserve component of the United States Army,
and with that act, governor's lost absolute control. The president
gained explicit authority to federalize the National Guard for almost
(05:44):
any national need, which means that yes, each state can
use their national Guard for whatever purposes that are necessary
for their particular state, but once or maybe to aid
another state.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
You know, they can certainly do that with all that
hurricanes exactly.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
But once the federal government, through its commander in chief,
decides that we need the National Guard in your state
to do X, Y or z for.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
The good of the nation, it is lights out.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
It is We're done. There's nothing else to talk about.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
This is what's going to happen, because this is coming
from the commander in chief.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And it's clearly in the United States federal government's interest,
the national interest, to make sure that we do not
have illegal aliens in our nation's second largest city. I
mean a government that's that's clearly in the fed federal
government's interests.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
But a governor cannot nullify federal law. They can't veto
a president's constitutional authority.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
And a single judge doesn't get to override the constitutional
authority that's handed to the president of the United States.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Of America.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The president is the commander in chief, and that's in
the Constitution. And when the judge was sworn in to
be a judge, he had to swear that he would
uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of
America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. When the judge
starts usurping the Constitution, the judge becomes an enemy of
(07:21):
the Constitution. He becomes the very thing he swore to
protect this country against.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
But you know, and some folks might say, well, why
does the president have power over the National Guard or
why is that so important? Because think about this, who
else would No, No, just think about this. The United
States cannot survive if every governor can undermine national defense.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Or obstruct federal law.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Imagine if Eisenhower was unable, for example, to send the
troops into Little Rock, or Kennedy was you know, unable,
or Johnson for that matter, to enforce civil rights, or.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
If one governor gets to decide he's going to send
troops into another state with that other state's permission. The
governors aren't the supreme commanders of the of the militias
of the state. The Constitution says the president is.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
And that's just the law. That's the law.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You don't like the law, go change the law, but
don't make law from the bench.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And when you if you don't like the law, what
you end up with is the Civil War because you
had the militias in the Southern States deciding they didn't
want to follow federal well, they didn't want to follow
federal authority at that point, it was just an election.
They didn't want to follow the election. There hadn't been
the Emancipation Proclamation yet. They just didn't want to deal
with the election. So they said, you know what, we're
(08:41):
taking our soldiers and we're going to go in and
bombard Fort Sumter with our soldiers. That's how you make
a civil war. When governors start to declare, these are
my soldiers to go play war with, that's not okay.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Let's be very clear.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
The National Guard always has been and always will be
a dual state slash federal force.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
And they have multiple responsibilities.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
And when the president comes a calling, that's all that matters.
He's the commander in chief and.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
The judge doesn't get to usurp the constitution. Let's get
the tougher things.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
You need to know from them all.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
First, you need it for tom While voters in Miami
elected Democrat Eileen Higgins to be the next mayor of
that city. Her victory ends nearly thirty years of Republican
mayors in that city. Higgins is a former county commissioner
and received a lot of financial support from Democrat National
Committee in her campaign. She defeated Emilio Gonzalez, a former
Miami City manager, by eighteen points. This makes Higgins the
(09:45):
first woman elected mayor of Miami, and there's one of
several high profile electoral victories for Democrats this year.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Well, I guess this will mark the beginning of the
decline of the economy of housing, of decency in Miami.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I think you could. I think you could reasonably expect
that crime would go up in Miami if she follows
the examples of other Democrat mayors. But at least Miami
still has a very strong Republican mayor in rond De
Santis Republican government.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Excuse me, Ron Sants.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Second thing, you know before tomorrow, Democrats in the House
of Representatives have filed articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary
Robert Kennedy Junior and Secretary of war Pete Hegseth. Democrat
Representative Hailey Stevens filed the impeachment articles against Secretary Kennedy.
She accuses Kennedy of turning his back on science and
the safety of the American people. And Democrat Representative shre
(10:35):
Th Nader filed articles against Secretary Hegseeth, accusing him of
using the Nited States military to extrajudicially assassinate people without
any evidence of any crime. Neither bill is likely to
even pass the House of Representatives, much less received two
thirds support in the Republican controlled Senate.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
I mean, you know, I mean, it's his right to
file articles of impeachment here, but it's just more ridiculousness.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I mean, but it's it's evidence that if the Democrats
take back control of the House, the very first thing
they will do will be to file articles of impeachments
against Donald Trump. And that needs to be a campaign
issue because the American people are tired of that nonsense.
And the third thing you needable from all. The Federal
Reserve voted to lower interest rates again. Today is the
third rate cut this year. The board voted to lower
rates byero point twenty five percent, down to three point
(11:20):
seventy five percent. This has interest rates the lowest they've
been since November of twenty twenty two, but it seems
unlikely that the FED will make any more rate cuts
in the near future. President Trump has been highly critical
of FED Chairman Jerome Powell for being too slow to
react to market conditions, both when inflation was rising during
the Biden administration and as inflation has been coming down
during the Trump administration.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
I think this sets the table for twenty twenty six
and perhaps the largest peacetime expansion in American history.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
We've got more American ground radio coming up. Stick around.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Steven par with Lewis R.
Evalone age.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
So, Jasmine Cracket.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, Democrat Camp, a representative from Texas now running for
Senate as the Democrat ticket for Texas.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I don't know that she fully understands what she is
stepping into with respect to a state wide race in Texas. Okay, Well,
and she's well, she's making all of these claims that
Texas is sixty one percent people of color.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
I don't think that's accurate.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
And of course the left always likes to include Hispanics
as people of color.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Well, technically white people are were a color too. I mean,
everybody's nobody's translucent. If so, everybody's got white color.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
If white was a color, you would be the most
colored person.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
I know.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
No, I'm no more color than anybody else. Everybody's got
a color, everybody's got pigment. I'm not see through. So
everybody is a person of color, this whole person of
color thing. I reject the premise altogether. Everybody is a
person of color.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Well, she Jasmine Crockett, Representative Jasmine Crockett, Yes, she went
on CNN and they asked her, you know, well, are
you going to convert Trump's supporters right over to voting
for you in the state of Texas?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Right?
Speaker 6 (14:11):
And here's what she had to say.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, I don't know that will necessarily convert all of
Trump's supporters.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
That's not our need to. Our goal is to definitely
talk to people.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
No, we don't.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
We don't need to. Our goal is to make sure
that we can engage people.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
That has shot that off.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Okay, I mean she's technically not wrong. She does not
need to convert all of Trump's supporters over to win
her campaign. The question was do you need to do you?
Are you going to support all of you get all
Donald Trump's supporters to come to you. She says, I
don't need all of them. She doesn't need all them,
she needs some of them because Donald Trump won the state.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
I also want you to listening to her.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Did you hear how she was speaking almost the Queen's English.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Well, that's how she's used to speak before she got
into congressman.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yeah, but she was speaking like the educated woman that
she is.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Well, at least that she claims to be.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Well.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
No, she has a law degree, she passed the bar.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I know a lot of people with degrees that just
don't come on.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
But she had to pass a rigorous course load. But
I'll give her that. But I think this whole the
way she generally is, I think it's just all an act.
I mean, which is kind of acting a fool, I
guess is what I mean is.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Which makes me think she's not all that smart. We
got a question for our American mama's. Dear mama's what's
your opinion on stay at home dad's.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Well, let's ask our American mama's Mama mama.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And joining us now are American mama's tern Edville and
Kimberly Burlason. Okay, I'm not quite a stay at home down.
I'm a work from home down for most of the
I mean, obviously we do the radio show here in
the studio, but most of the day, I know, I
don't live too far from the studio, and so you know,
we homeschooled my daughter and I was working at home.
So please be gentle on this. What do you think
(16:15):
about stay at home stay.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
At home dads?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Well, actually, that's that's different when you're working from home,
because a lot of people can do that now, that's
one of the things that came out of the pandemic.
And I think is people realize you can do stuff
from home. But we saw this video and it was
this I would say late twenties and a couple. The
woman is saying to her husband, Babe, I need, I
(16:42):
need I work two jobs. You want me to work
a third job. He's like, I don't know what you
need to do, but I just want to stay home
with the kids, like I don't. He didn't want to work.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And she's not making enough money.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Yes, that she's making another job and he was fine
with that. This man was fine with his wife having
to get a third job.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Oh no, sir.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
So I was immediately. I was turned off. I felt
sorry for this woman, felt sorry for the children, and
I thought, is this a product of the whole toxic
masculinity thing? Is this a is this a society thing?
Is this what he saw growing up? What is this about?
Because Kevin and I we were just talking the other night.
I saw a Christmas show and it's about these the
(17:23):
joy merchants in New York, these guys that sell their
Christmas trees. And I was watching these men load the trees,
watching the men comeing, like watching these men do all
these things, and I just started I said, you know,
I said, feminists who say we don't need men drive
me nuts. Who would do I started listing all the
things that Kevin and men like him do Like there,
I mean, I was like, what about this and this
(17:45):
and this, and y'all do the hard stuff. Y'all do
the heavy lifting, the dirty stuff.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Don't y'all?
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Well, I mean men do, like in general, they do
all the things that that we cannot do, we physically
cannot do, or we're not prepared. They had the load,
and we're got a whole.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Bunch of female coal miners.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
Yeah, can you imagine? So I was so I was
thinking about that. Actually, we were watching Landman other night
and it came up again, and I said, masculinity is
making a comeback. Luckily, we're seeing it everywhere. But when
I saw that guy, and I thought, oh, my goodness,
you're giving about if there's because there are some stay
(18:26):
at home dads who are awesome and the wife is like,
they want to work outside the home and they're making
great money and they want the other one to be
there and that's their thing. But this kind of makes
me go, oh, like, I don't know how I feel.
I was turned off by that guy.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
I was so turned off too, but it made me
think this is and I hope I have this right.
But Joe Rogan was interviewing Elon musk Okay, and the
conversation they we're having was about the takeover of Europe
and how these Muslims have come in and they've taken
over and these men are so soft that they've allowed
it to happen. And Elon says that he that Lord
(19:05):
of the Rings was based on Tolkien's book, but Tolkien
based the Hobbits on those kind of men. He said,
they live in villages and they're they're kind and they're sweet,
and they take care of everything. They're they're gardening, while
hard men go out and fight for them to have that.
So as soon as you have a whole five hundred
people that come and take over your village and pillage
(19:26):
and rape and do everything else, they don't know what
to do because the TRD men, the tough men, have
gone out and done it for them, and.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
So they're soft.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
So what I feel like is happening, and we are
creating a society of soft men right now, not little villages,
but in our country and mass in mass and I
think video gaming, no work ethic, no physical labe, no,
men are growing up softer. And I think it's going
to be really bad with what happens with our country
(19:58):
because of that.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
And I do think that may need to have this
understanding that your job is to protect your family. That
is your job.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
And there's aren't that bothered me about this guy having
zero problem with his wife working multiple jobs.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
And that's the part that if your job as a
stay at home dad is to protect the home, and
the mom's out able to say she's a CEO, Yeah
she's making half a million a year. Yeah, you can
stay at home and raise the kids and protect the
kids and make sure that the kids are taught what
needs to be taught. You know, I'm in favor of that.
But if your staying at home is creating hardship or
(20:33):
creating danger for your family, then you're not doing your
primary job, which is to protect your family.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
It's it, that's it, And there's something internal for men
they have this. I've always believed innately they want to
be the protector. They won't because I said one time,
I wish I could take all of this off of you.
You know, there's just so much on men. I think
that's why they probably die earlier than women.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well, plus we make bad decisions.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Yeah, and Kem said, I would want that. I want
to be in this role. I want to be the protector.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
You know, I talk about this all the time. People
said that, you know, when you get married, everything changes,
And my wife and I got married and nothing changed.
Awful advice. What they don't tell you is the moment
your children are born, everything changes. And the moment my
son was born. The moment he was born, all of
a sudden, there was this protective thing that I yes,
now I'm the dad, I'm the one in charge, this
(21:26):
is my house, my rules. That that thing came immediately
when he was born. If you'd like to ask American

You know I was mentioning it earlier, but Lord, have mercy.
What is going on in Minnesota? Eight in ten households
headed by Somali refugees in Minnesota are on one or
more forms of welfare. Just let that sink in for
just a moment. Eighty percent, not twenty, not forty, not
(22:51):
even a majority, eight out of ten households in Minnesota
of Somali households.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
That is Somali refugees that the Obama administration dumped into Minneapolis.
And it is this is a large number of people talking.
What seventy thousand, eighty thousand Somali refugees right into Minneapolis.
So if you're looking at eight out of ten, more
than sixty thousand people in that city dependent on the government, this.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Is exploitation of the American taxpayer. It is exploitation of
the American goodwill, the American taxpayer, your average hardworking man
and woman who break their backs every day, who pay
their taxes, who struggles to keep up with the cost
of living.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
They did not agree. They never signed up.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
To be an ATM or to become the entire world's
safety net.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Well, and it's such a large number of people in Minneapolis.
It has completely changed the politics of the state of Minnesota.
So much so that they read through the Minnesota state
flag to look like the Somali flag. They took out
the whole Land of Lakes thing and then put like
a star with a triangle on it looks like the
(24:14):
flag of Somalia.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Well, look, we cannot this is this is insane.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
We cannot sustain this model no emotionally, financially, culturally. You know,
the founders of this country they designed a republic, not
a global charity. The welfare system was designed as a
temporary safety net, not as an imported lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
New York is stronger because of Little Lialy, places like
Little Lily, where you had immigrants that came in that
wanted to work and build, and you didn't have a
whole bunch of people saying I'm just going to live
off the government. Chinatown in San Francisco. It's stronger because
you have people that came in, they wanted to create this,
and they dispersed across the entire community. Minnesota is not
going to be better off with Little Mogadishu.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
It's just not. And that's a problem.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
And what you're seeing are And again, we all know
that asylum and refugee claims.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Are fraudulent a lot of times.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Certainly I think in this but in this eighty percent
of Somali households. I'm sure there are some legitimate, legitimate
claims for refugee status.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
But again, more than eighty five percent of refugee claims
are fraudulent. That's just the data. So that's about the
same number of people that are on welfare in Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
No, I mean, look, this is a warning sign. It
is this is a warning sign for all Americans.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Let's dig deep, going.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Down, down down.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
This week in the Prolifics Youth Football National Championship was
held in Davenport, Florida. That's in Polk County in Florida.
The U fourteen championship game featured the United Thoroughbreds from Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and the Kakoa Tigers from Florida. But before the game,
eight members of the team from Philadelphia were arrested for theft.
(26:08):
The eight boys took an uber from their hotel to
a Dick's sporting goods store. They were caught on camera
attempting to steal forty seven different items by shoving them
in shopping bags and down their own pants. The stolen
items included hoodies, hats, shorts, gloves, and all of it
totaled two two hundred and ninety six dollars and seven cents,
(26:28):
making their robbery a felony. Moreover, since there's multiple of
them involved, a conspiracy to commit a felony? Okay, what
age under fourteen? Under fourteen now, they were promptly arrested.
The store called the coach, who apparently had no idea
that eight of his players weren't still under his supervision
(26:48):
but were now in police custody. Listen to Polk County Sheriff.
This is Grady Judd as he describes what happened next
to a Listen.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
To introduce you to their coach. His name's Reynon binds Bys.
So when we notify the coach who is responsible for them,
you would think he would be interested in holding them
accountable and responsible. Instead, he goes to the deputies and
begs them not to take these young men into custody. Oh,
(27:21):
don't arrest them, drop the charges, let them go. And
then when we said no, then they go to Dick's
Sporting Goods to the manager and said, oh, don't charge them.
Don't charge them. They were not taking bubblegum. One piece
to you. They stole over two thousand dollars worth of products,
(27:45):
over forty seven different products they stole. And then when
it was evident that they were going to be arrested,
then the coach says, don't you guys have anything better
to do? What are all these deputies doing here? Don't
you have anything better to do?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Well, in Philadelphia, they apparently let a lot of thieves go,
and this coach is like, welly should just let the
kids go? Standard practice in Democrat run areas these days,
especially places like Philadelphia that have a Soros funded attorney.
He's fourteen year old boys thought they were going to
get away with stealing two thousand dollars worth of stuff.
Why cause maybe they got away.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
With it in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I mean, if you get away with it at home,
why would you think you could get away with it?
On the road makes sense.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
It does, certainly.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
And the coach himself is part of the problem. He
wasn't teaching responsibility, He wasn't teaching them respect for the
rule of law. He was teaching them that when you
get caught, what you're supposed to do is blame the
victim for being upset about being robbed and then blame
the police for doing their job. Here's Sheriff Grady Judd again.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
Take a listen, hey, here's a note to people in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
If you hold kids accountable and responsible, and they know
if they go in the store and still they're going
to be held accountable, they don't do it. You didn't
see eight kids from Polk County in a store this
weekend stealing, did you? And there's eight hundred and fifty
(29:10):
thousand people in this county. Well, and then you have
a coach comes down there and tries to beg them
out of it instead of holding them accountable. It's frustrating.
But our crime in Polk County is a fifty three
year low. Ask and see if crime in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
(29:30):
is at a fifty three year low.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
That seemed like a Reasonableloody uet of me.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
So yeah, I mean, but at the same time, I mean,
I mean, why doesn't this coach understand that, see, these
are kids, right, they're juveniles, They're fourteen years old.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Now, I could understand the coach from a legal perspective.
Let's just say from a from if he was a lawyer. Okay,
he would say, look, the kids are.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Sorry, they blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
You know, let's just kind of move on from this.
But there's a larger lesson here because yeah, you know what,
they'll get pulled before a judge, and the judge may
in fact dismiss it, or.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
You know, Florida probation.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
But what's more important, what's more valuable than all of that,
is the life lesson right that you must do what
is right even when you think no one is watching.
In fact, you shouldn't do what's right, especially when no
one is watching.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
And when you hold people accountable when they break the law,
they become less likely to break the law. The Sheriff's
right on this. And look, I don't have crime data
for this year in Philadelphia, but I knew though I
do know that in twenty twenty one, Philadelphia hit an
all time high in its murder rate, nearly six hundred
murders in the city that year. Polk County, Florida, is
at a fifty three year low. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is at
(30:52):
an all time high. Maybe that's because Polk County respects
the rule of law and Philadelphia at this point doesn't.
The Left is like, we're over arresting people.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
No, we're not.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
People are committing too many crimes.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
And then you.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Wonder why we have a society filled with people who
blame one another for whatever happens in their life instead
of taking accountability. We've got adults that are complicit in
creating this entire generation that we're seeing right now.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
If you don't enforce the rule of law, you end up.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
You're listening to American ground Radio.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Do you ever get tired of taking a handful of
vitamins every morning? You'll love Protobyte plus from Victory Nutrition International.
It's a powerful packet loaded with essentials, so just tear
mix and sip, add it to water, smoothies, whatever.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
You like, fast, tasty, and it actually absorbs.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Hit twenty percent off with code AGR two zero at
VNI dot Life slash AGR.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Protobyte plus go to v and I dot live, slash
agr and use the code AGR twenty to save twenty.
Welcome back to America Ground Radium Stephen Power with Lewis alone.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
It was done for a very good reason. What's that.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Donald Trump was explaining why the United States seized this
Venezuelan oil tank.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
The oil taker, Right, Yeah, so today the.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Largest ever seized by US forces.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
By the way, today the United States seized an oil
tanker that was coming out of Venezuela. It had actually
been subject to international sanctions and so yeah, we seized
it on the high seas well.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
And Pam Bondi, the Attorney General of the United States,
said that it was part of an illicit network supporting
foreign terrorist organizations.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
I mean, she's not talking about some paperwork error.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I believe what she's talking about is national security.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Well, Donald Trump has designated the drug cartels to be
international terrorist organization similar to Al Qaeda, similar to al Shabab.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
So maybe this's isis maybe this oil tanker wasn't transporting oil.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Well, even if it was transporting oil, if it was
transporting oil that was going to be used to fund
illegal activities, if it's going to be if this oil
tanker was actually being used by the cartels to fund
the cartels, it's it's within American law to seize them
on the high seas, and international law out in the
open ocean, international law doesn't.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Quite really apply.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
I just thought it was somewhat humorous because someone asked
President Trump, well, why.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Did we do this, and he goes it was for
a very good reason.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
And he didn't explain anymore.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
He didn't explain anymore.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
But look, when America stands up, I mean, time and
time again, when America stands up like we did.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Today, the bad guys sit down.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
You think, I mean, I haven't seen that. I haven't
seen the cartels sitting down yet. But we are certainly
putting some pressure on them that's going to make them
try and rethink their business model. And that's part of
the benefit of doing this is that we are Nobody
has been standing up to the cartels so far. This
is really the first pushback they've had with anything that
(34:21):
matched their firepower level. The cartels can outgun the Mexican government,
well they can't outgun the American government.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
And the cartels can go find more markets, other markets
maybe they can invest more heavily in other markets, just
not in the United States.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
But that's part of the problem. There is no better
drug market than the United States of America.
Speaker 6 (34:40):
Unfortunately, certainly won't be as profitable for the right.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
There not as many people who have as much disposable
income who thinks that that's what they want to do
with their lives. That's something we need to work on
as a country. But this is this is a good
move by Trump.
Speaker 6 (34:53):
And God blessed President Trump for doing that.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Let's get to a bright spot, all right, Well, there's
a bright spot out of Texas Tech University. And we've
talked a lot about how ideology, woke ideology has infiltrated
American universities from coast to coast. Well, that did include
Texas Tech and the Texas Tech System out in West Texas.
(35:19):
But the state started to crack down on wokeism on campus,
banning the teaching of DEI and white privilege and things
like that by state law.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
Pretty good.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Now, Texas Tech earlier this year got a new chancellor,
Brandon Creighton. Well, Creighton takes this seriously because he's the
one who wrote the state law banning DEI and universities.
That's a pretty good person to be hiring to make
sure that this doesn't happen anymore in Texas Tech. But
what's even better is he's been able to do it
(35:52):
at Texas Tech with one simple flow chart. A flow
chart is changing an entire institution. On the first of
this Creighton sent professors a at Texas Tech a memo
banning DEI, officially banning it, saying there would be no
teaching of race or sex based prejudice on campuses, that
there would be no teaching that an individual is inherently
(36:14):
racist or sexist by virtue of their race or gender,
and that individuals bear responsibility or guilt for the actions
of others of the same sex. We're not going to
teach that. And he attached to float chart helping these
professors figure out if something should be taken out of
the curriculum that they're preparing for these classes. And the
very first question there's a little box sitting up on
the flow chart in the upper corner. First question is
(36:37):
is the course material relevant and necessary for classroom instruction?
Speaker 5 (36:43):
If not, eliminate it, well, come on, I mean, you
know a professor is going to be able to rationalize
that say, well, yeah, of course it is. I've got
to give the other side. I need to let the
students know that what they may think they understand, they
don't fully understand.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Okay, but if you if you treat that question with
honesty and academic rigor, that gets rid of most DEI
right there. You don't need to be telling students that
white people know.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
If you yet, you're you're right.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
But I mean, I think it's okay, but maybe it's
a realistic to expect that out of a lot of
academia today.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Okay, there's more flow chart. This was just the first question. Okay,
so the first question. But you don't need to be
telling students that white people are inherently racist in order
to teach calculus or accounting or electrical engineering. You just
don't most subjects. You don't have to do it.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
It has nothing to.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Do with the the the material. So then he asked
if it's required for professional licensure, patient care or whatever.
If so, if this is really part of that, it's
likely to be able to stay in the course. If not,
it's going to get submitted to review by the department
chair and then up the chain to the dean and
then up to the provost for the universities. So that's
(37:57):
the thing is that here we've got to we've got
to check this. Now, ask yourself this question. Is this
actually germane to the topic I'm teaching. If not, it's
got to go. If I think it is, that's fine.
I now have to make my argument that this topic
is germane to the subject is important for licensure if
these students can on to be professionals. And I have
(38:18):
to defend that to my boss and my boss's boss
and my boss's boss's boss.
Speaker 5 (38:22):
Well. DII needs to be done away with across the
board because it rejects the American dream. It does it
says that America is inherently racist, that hard work can't
overcome obstacles, that the system is rigged, that success is
predetermined by identity, and it is a lie, it is poison.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
It is a direct assault on the American dream. DII
needs to go away.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
And just this one simple question will then make almost
all woke teachings on campus across the country, and that
would be a bright spot.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
You are listening to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Welcome bout to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Stephen Palmer Lewis you know how you get those credit
card offers in the mail?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
I don't really anymore, but I used to.
Speaker 6 (39:20):
Okay, have you have.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
You received a credit card offer for the Trump Gold Card?
Speaker 2 (39:27):
No? I haven't received a Trump Gold Card.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
What about the Trump Corporate Gold Card or the Trump
Platinum Card.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
Actually none of those are credit cards. But President Trump
is rolling out you know, that whole pay to be
a citizen or a fast track right paying to expedite
your application for citizenship. So he rolled out today the
Trump Gold Card. I think he announced it in September,
(39:57):
but now it's rolled out. The Trump Gold Card art
one million dollars okay for fast track US residency.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
I have a feeling that eighty percent of the people
who get the Trump Gold Cards to get into the
United States are not going to end up on government
run no benefits.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
You're right, and uh, it's a one time use. Only
it's not like you get the one the card for
a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
And you can bring everybody else.
Speaker 6 (40:22):
You can bring everybody else in.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
Then there's the Trump Corporate Gold Card that's two million dollars.
That's if a business wants to bring you over as
an employee.
Speaker 6 (40:31):
Okay, that's two million dollars.
Speaker 5 (40:33):
And then the Trump Platinum Card and that is five
million dollars that allows you to stay in the United
States without being taxed for like two hundred and seventy days.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
WHOA when I say whoa A mean?
Speaker 6 (40:54):
Whoa?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Well, police officers in Athens, Georgia, came across dozens of
Christmas packages just left out in the middle of the
street in a residential area. They called the delivery company
they was supposed to deliver the packages, and the delivery
company said they were ware of the problem. You see,
the driver, the delivery employee, who was supposed to make
sure those packages got where they were going, instead decided
to quit in the middle of the job, just left
(41:16):
the packages right where they were. Well, the police officers
didn't want people to miss out on their Christmas gifts,
so they decided to do what the delivery driver was
unwilling to do, deliver the packages. That's right. The police
officers took the packages, delivered each one to the address
that was listed on the box.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
Athens.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Clark Sergeant Cooper told the local news we know that
a lot of people worked hard for the packages, and
the right thing to do was to play Santa.
Speaker 6 (41:41):
Love that story has a great story.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
Because of you, American Ground Radio has heard in more
markets than you could shake his stick at, which in
California is now considered a microaggression against trees. It's outrageous.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Grab the hatch and sell us.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
That we choose to go to the moon and do
the other thing, not because they are eady, but because
they are odd.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It is time for us to realize that we're too
great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I have a dream that one day this nation will
rise up, live out the true meaning.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Of its cream.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
American Ground Radio with Lewis r Avalone and Stephen.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Pokol, this is American Grimmery.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Stephen Palmers, Lewis, you know, what we are witnessing in
California right now is one of the most absurd acts
of I would say political theater. But I'm going to
add to that judicial theater masquerading as some constitutional concern
that this country, you know, should be concerned about. Okay,
(01:22):
So you've got this federal judge out there, US District
Judge Charles Bryer, right, and he has now ordered the
Trump administration to stop deploying the California National Guard in
Los Angeles. Basically returned the control of those troops to
the governor.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Governor Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
So we have one judge who now thinks the judge
is the commander in chief of the military. Well, exactly,
because the Constitution says the President of the United States
is the commander in chief of the military.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Let me just say what That's what the Constitution says,
one percent, and I'll cite that to you. It's Article one,
Section eight, Clauses fifteen and sixteen, and it says to
provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws
of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.
Speaker 6 (02:19):
That is, that is a clause.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
That specifically explicitly gives the federal government the power to
do that.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
To execute the laws of the Union. That's right, exactly right, Okay, well,
that's what the National Guard is doing there in Los Angeles,
making sure that immigration law that the ICE is able
to do their job.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
But then you have to read that in conjunction with
Article two, section two, which indicates the president is the
commander in chief. That clause says the President shall be
Commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the
United States and of the militia of the several states.
So that's the national Guard when called into actual service
(03:01):
of the United States.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
There it is clear as day.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
It's written in whatever inc that they used back in
seventeen seventy six. It's lasted this long. But when the
militia today's National Guard is called into federal service, the president,
not the governor, commands them.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
But this isn't even about the government. This is about
a judge. A judge in California thinks the judge is
the supreme commander of the soldiers, and the judge gets
to deside how the soldiers are used or how they
aren't used.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Well, he obviously it's not really you call him a judge.
But if he had just taken a brief stroll through
constitutional case law, rather than sprinting towards a political outcome,
he would have noticed that the Supreme Court has already
upheld this presidential authority more than once.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Here's one of the ways that you can tell if
somebody is a good judge or not whether they will
rule against their own opinion, because not everybody is going
to agree that every single law is the best way
to do.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Why you're talking about a political opinion.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
You're talking about a legal opinion, because lawyers can differ
on on legal theory, and certainly.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
All play those games all the application of law. But
if you don't look at what the text says, look
at the text of the law with text of the Constitution,
and you go, okay, well this is what it says. Now,
I personally don't think Donald Trump should be in charge,
but the law says this. My job is to be
the judge, and so I'm going to say what the
law says. If you don't. If you have a judge
that never rules against their own personal opinion, then that
(04:42):
is a bad judge because they think they've replaced their
judgment with justice.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Well, and look to his credit, to the judge's credit here,
he did postpone the enforcement of his decision until Monday,
and so.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Presumably he is going to get overturned.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
But presumably he's allowing the administration to mount a defense.
Oh but I want to go back to and this
is the National Defense Act of nineteen sixteen.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
For anyone that is not clear.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
More than one hundred nine years old.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
So that Act of nineteen sixteen cemented the National Guard
as the primary reserve component of the United States Army,
and with that act, governor's lost absolute control. The president
gained explicit authority to federalize the National Guard for almost
(05:44):
any national need, which means that yes, each state can
use their national Guard for whatever purposes that are necessary
for their particular state, but once or maybe to aid
another state.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
You know, they can certainly do that with all that
hurricanes exactly.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
But once the federal government, through its commander in chief,
decides that we need the National Guard in your state
to do X, Y or z for.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
The good of the nation, it is lights out.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
It is We're done. There's nothing else to talk about.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
This is what's going to happen, because this is coming
from the commander in chief.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And it's clearly in the United States federal government's interest,
the national interest, to make sure that we do not
have illegal aliens in our nation's second largest city. I
mean a government that's that's clearly in the fed federal
government's interests.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
But a governor cannot nullify federal law. They can't veto
a president's constitutional authority.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
And a single judge doesn't get to override the constitutional
authority that's handed to the president of the United States.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Of America.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
The president is the commander in chief, and that's in
the Constitution. And when the judge was sworn in to
be a judge, he had to swear that he would
uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of
America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. When the judge
starts usurping the Constitution, the judge becomes an enemy of
(07:21):
the Constitution. He becomes the very thing he swore to
protect this country against.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
But you know, and some folks might say, well, why
does the president have power over the National Guard or
why is that so important? Because think about this, who
else would No, No, just think about this. The United
States cannot survive if every governor can undermine national defense.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Or obstruct federal law.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Imagine if Eisenhower was unable, for example, to send the
troops into Little Rock, or Kennedy was you know, unable,
or Johnson for that matter, to enforce civil rights, or.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
If one governor gets to decide he's going to send
troops into another state with that other state's permission. The
governors aren't the supreme commanders of the of the militias
of the state. The Constitution says the president is.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
And that's just the law. That's the law.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You don't like the law, go change the law, but
don't make law from the bench.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And when you if you don't like the law, what
you end up with is the Civil War because you
had the militias in the Southern States deciding they didn't
want to follow federal well, they didn't want to follow
federal authority at that point, it was just an election.
They didn't want to follow the election. There hadn't been
the Emancipation Proclamation yet. They just didn't want to deal
with the election. So they said, you know what, we're
(08:41):
taking our soldiers and we're going to go in and
bombard Fort Sumter with our soldiers. That's how you make
a civil war. When governors start to declare, these are
my soldiers to go play war with, that's not okay.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Let's be very clear.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
The National Guard always has been and always will be
a dual state slash federal force.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
And they have multiple responsibilities.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
And when the president comes a calling, that's all that matters.
He's the commander in chief and.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
The judge doesn't get to usurp the constitution. Let's get
the tougher things.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
You need to know from them all.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
First, you need it for tom While voters in Miami
elected Democrat Eileen Higgins to be the next mayor of
that city. Her victory ends nearly thirty years of Republican
mayors in that city. Higgins is a former county commissioner
and received a lot of financial support from Democrat National
Committee in her campaign. She defeated Emilio Gonzalez, a former
Miami City manager, by eighteen points. This makes Higgins the
(09:45):
first woman elected mayor of Miami, and there's one of
several high profile electoral victories for Democrats this year.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
Well, I guess this will mark the beginning of the
decline of the economy of housing, of decency in Miami.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I think you could. I think you could reasonably expect
that crime would go up in Miami if she follows
the examples of other Democrat mayors. But at least Miami
still has a very strong Republican mayor in rond De
Santis Republican government.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Excuse me, Ron Sants.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Second thing, you know before tomorrow, Democrats in the House
of Representatives have filed articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary
Robert Kennedy Junior and Secretary of war Pete Hegseth. Democrat
Representative Hailey Stevens filed the impeachment articles against Secretary Kennedy.
She accuses Kennedy of turning his back on science and
the safety of the American people. And Democrat Representative shre
(10:35):
Th Nader filed articles against Secretary Hegseeth, accusing him of
using the Nited States military to extrajudicially assassinate people without
any evidence of any crime. Neither bill is likely to
even pass the House of Representatives, much less received two
thirds support in the Republican controlled Senate.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
I mean, you know, I mean, it's his right to
file articles of impeachment here, but it's just more ridiculousness.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I mean, but it's it's evidence that if the Democrats
take back control of the House, the very first thing
they will do will be to file articles of impeachments
against Donald Trump. And that needs to be a campaign
issue because the American people are tired of that nonsense.
And the third thing you needable from all. The Federal
Reserve voted to lower interest rates again. Today is the
third rate cut this year. The board voted to lower
rates byero point twenty five percent, down to three point
(11:20):
seventy five percent. This has interest rates the lowest they've
been since November of twenty twenty two, but it seems
unlikely that the FED will make any more rate cuts
in the near future. President Trump has been highly critical
of FED Chairman Jerome Powell for being too slow to
react to market conditions, both when inflation was rising during
the Biden administration and as inflation has been coming down
during the Trump administration.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
I think this sets the table for twenty twenty six
and perhaps the largest peacetime expansion in American history.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
We've got more American ground radio coming up. Stick around.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You are listening to American ground radio.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Do you ever feel like plain water just doesn't cutting it?
That's why you should start using perform Light from Victory
Nutrition International. One packet turns your water into next level hydration.
So it's not just flavor, it's functions exactly. It's got
balanced sea salts and electro lines for better fluid absorption.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
Well, I'm in, Where do I get it?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Go to v and I dot live slash agr and
use the code AGR twenty for twenty percent off.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
That's VNI dot live slash AGR and type in code
AGR two zero to save twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Steven par with Lewis R.
Evalone age.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
So, Jasmine Cracket.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, Democrat Camp, a representative from Texas now running for
Senate as the Democrat ticket for Texas.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I don't know that she fully understands what she is
stepping into with respect to a state wide race in Texas. Okay, Well,
and she's well, she's making all of these claims that
Texas is sixty one percent people of color.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
I don't think that's accurate.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
And of course the left always likes to include Hispanics
as people of color.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Well, technically white people are were a color too. I mean,
everybody's nobody's translucent. If so, everybody's got white color.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
If white was a color, you would be the most
colored person.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
I know.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
No, I'm no more color than anybody else. Everybody's got
a color, everybody's got pigment. I'm not see through. So
everybody is a person of color, this whole person of
color thing. I reject the premise altogether. Everybody is a
person of color.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Well, she Jasmine Crockett, Representative Jasmine Crockett, Yes, she went
on CNN and they asked her, you know, well, are
you going to convert Trump's supporters right over to voting
for you in the state of Texas?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Right?
Speaker 6 (14:11):
And here's what she had to say.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, I don't know that will necessarily convert all of
Trump's supporters.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
That's not our need to. Our goal is to definitely
talk to people.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
No, we don't.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
We don't need to. Our goal is to make sure
that we can engage people.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
That has shot that off.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Okay, I mean she's technically not wrong. She does not
need to convert all of Trump's supporters over to win
her campaign. The question was do you need to do you?
Are you going to support all of you get all
Donald Trump's supporters to come to you. She says, I
don't need all of them. She doesn't need all them,
she needs some of them because Donald Trump won the state.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
I also want you to listening to her.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Did you hear how she was speaking almost the Queen's English.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Well, that's how she's used to speak before she got
into congressman.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yeah, but she was speaking like the educated woman that
she is.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Well, at least that she claims to be.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Well.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
No, she has a law degree, she passed the bar.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I know a lot of people with degrees that just
don't come on.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
But she had to pass a rigorous course load. But
I'll give her that. But I think this whole the
way she generally is, I think it's just all an act.
I mean, which is kind of acting a fool, I
guess is what I mean is.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Which makes me think she's not all that smart. We
got a question for our American mama's. Dear mama's what's
your opinion on stay at home dad's.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Well, let's ask our American mama's Mama mama.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
And joining us now are American mama's tern Edville and
Kimberly Burlason. Okay, I'm not quite a stay at home down.
I'm a work from home down for most of the
I mean, obviously we do the radio show here in
the studio, but most of the day, I know, I
don't live too far from the studio, and so you know,
we homeschooled my daughter and I was working at home.
So please be gentle on this. What do you think
(16:15):
about stay at home stay.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
At home dads?
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Well, actually, that's that's different when you're working from home,
because a lot of people can do that now, that's
one of the things that came out of the pandemic.
And I think is people realize you can do stuff
from home. But we saw this video and it was
this I would say late twenties and a couple. The
woman is saying to her husband, Babe, I need, I
(16:42):
need I work two jobs. You want me to work
a third job. He's like, I don't know what you
need to do, but I just want to stay home
with the kids, like I don't. He didn't want to work.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And she's not making enough money.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Yes, that she's making another job and he was fine
with that. This man was fine with his wife having
to get a third job.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Oh no, sir.
Speaker 7 (17:01):
So I was immediately. I was turned off. I felt
sorry for this woman, felt sorry for the children, and
I thought, is this a product of the whole toxic
masculinity thing? Is this a is this a society thing?
Is this what he saw growing up? What is this about?
Because Kevin and I we were just talking the other night.
I saw a Christmas show and it's about these the
(17:23):
joy merchants in New York, these guys that sell their
Christmas trees. And I was watching these men load the trees,
watching the men comeing, like watching these men do all
these things, and I just started I said, you know,
I said, feminists who say we don't need men drive
me nuts. Who would do I started listing all the
things that Kevin and men like him do Like there,
I mean, I was like, what about this and this
(17:45):
and this, and y'all do the hard stuff. Y'all do
the heavy lifting, the dirty stuff.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Don't y'all?
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Well, I mean men do, like in general, they do
all the things that that we cannot do, we physically
cannot do, or we're not prepared. They had the load,
and we're got a whole.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Bunch of female coal miners.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
Yeah, can you imagine? So I was so I was
thinking about that. Actually, we were watching Landman other night
and it came up again, and I said, masculinity is
making a comeback. Luckily, we're seeing it everywhere. But when
I saw that guy, and I thought, oh, my goodness,
you're giving about if there's because there are some stay
(18:26):
at home dads who are awesome and the wife is like,
they want to work outside the home and they're making
great money and they want the other one to be
there and that's their thing. But this kind of makes
me go, oh, like, I don't know how I feel.
I was turned off by that guy.
Speaker 8 (18:40):
I was so turned off too, but it made me
think this is and I hope I have this right.
But Joe Rogan was interviewing Elon musk Okay, and the
conversation they we're having was about the takeover of Europe
and how these Muslims have come in and they've taken
over and these men are so soft that they've allowed
it to happen. And Elon says that he that Lord
(19:05):
of the Rings was based on Tolkien's book, but Tolkien
based the Hobbits on those kind of men. He said,
they live in villages and they're they're kind and they're sweet,
and they take care of everything. They're they're gardening, while
hard men go out and fight for them to have that.
So as soon as you have a whole five hundred
people that come and take over your village and pillage
(19:26):
and rape and do everything else, they don't know what
to do because the TRD men, the tough men, have
gone out and done it for them, and.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
So they're soft.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
So what I feel like is happening, and we are
creating a society of soft men right now, not little villages,
but in our country and mass in mass and I
think video gaming, no work ethic, no physical labe, no,
men are growing up softer. And I think it's going
to be really bad with what happens with our country
(19:58):
because of that.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
And I do think that may need to have this
understanding that your job is to protect your family. That
is your job.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
And there's aren't that bothered me about this guy having
zero problem with his wife working multiple jobs.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
And that's the part that if your job as a
stay at home dad is to protect the home, and
the mom's out able to say she's a CEO, Yeah
she's making half a million a year. Yeah, you can
stay at home and raise the kids and protect the
kids and make sure that the kids are taught what
needs to be taught. You know, I'm in favor of that.
But if your staying at home is creating hardship or
(20:33):
creating danger for your family, then you're not doing your
primary job, which is to protect your family.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
It's it, that's it, And there's something internal for men
they have this. I've always believed innately they want to
be the protector. They won't because I said one time,
I wish I could take all of this off of you.
You know, there's just so much on men. I think
that's why they probably die earlier than women.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well, plus we make bad decisions.
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Yeah, and Kem said, I would want that. I want
to be in this role. I want to be the protector.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
You know, I talk about this all the time. People
said that, you know, when you get married, everything changes,
And my wife and I got married and nothing changed.
Awful advice. What they don't tell you is the moment
your children are born, everything changes. And the moment my
son was born. The moment he was born, all of
a sudden, there was this protective thing that I yes,
now I'm the dad, I'm the one in charge, this
(21:26):
is my house, my rules. That that thing came immediately
when he was born. If you'd like to ask American

And coming up next here on American Ground Radio, we
are digging deep. We'll be right back. Stick around.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
You're listening to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
American Ground Radio planting seeds everywhere, growing freedom as tall
as US skyscraper with Lewis r Avalonian Stephen Parr lisit
our website at American ground radio dot com.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio, Stephen Power, Lewis ar Avaloni.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
You know I was mentioning it earlier, but Lord, have mercy.
What is going on in Minnesota? Eight in ten households
headed by Somali refugees in Minnesota are on one or
more forms of welfare. Just let that sink in for
just a moment. Eighty percent, not twenty, not forty, not
(22:51):
even a majority, eight out of ten households in Minnesota
of Somali households.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
That is Somali refugees that the Obama administration dumped into Minneapolis.
And it is this is a large number of people talking.
What seventy thousand, eighty thousand Somali refugees right into Minneapolis.
So if you're looking at eight out of ten, more
than sixty thousand people in that city dependent on the government, this.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Is exploitation of the American taxpayer. It is exploitation of
the American goodwill, the American taxpayer, your average hardworking man
and woman who break their backs every day, who pay
their taxes, who struggles to keep up with the cost
of living.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
They did not agree. They never signed up.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
To be an ATM or to become the entire world's
safety net.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Well, and it's such a large number of people in Minneapolis.
It has completely changed the politics of the state of Minnesota.
So much so that they read through the Minnesota state
flag to look like the Somali flag. They took out
the whole Land of Lakes thing and then put like
a star with a triangle on it looks like the
(24:14):
flag of Somalia.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Well, look, we cannot this is this is insane.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
We cannot sustain this model no emotionally, financially, culturally. You know,
the founders of this country they designed a republic, not
a global charity. The welfare system was designed as a
temporary safety net, not as an imported lifestyle.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
New York is stronger because of Little Lialy, places like
Little Lily, where you had immigrants that came in that
wanted to work and build, and you didn't have a
whole bunch of people saying I'm just going to live
off the government. Chinatown in San Francisco. It's stronger because
you have people that came in, they wanted to create this,
and they dispersed across the entire community. Minnesota is not
going to be better off with Little Mogadishu.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
It's just not. And that's a problem.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
And what you're seeing are And again, we all know
that asylum and refugee claims.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Are fraudulent a lot of times.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
Certainly I think in this but in this eighty percent
of Somali households. I'm sure there are some legitimate, legitimate
claims for refugee status.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
But again, more than eighty five percent of refugee claims
are fraudulent. That's just the data. So that's about the
same number of people that are on welfare in Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
No, I mean, look, this is a warning sign. It
is this is a warning sign for all Americans.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
Let's dig deep, going.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Down, down down.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
This week in the Prolifics Youth Football National Championship was
held in Davenport, Florida. That's in Polk County in Florida.
The U fourteen championship game featured the United Thoroughbreds from Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and the Kakoa Tigers from Florida. But before the game,
eight members of the team from Philadelphia were arrested for theft.
(26:08):
The eight boys took an uber from their hotel to
a Dick's sporting goods store. They were caught on camera
attempting to steal forty seven different items by shoving them
in shopping bags and down their own pants. The stolen
items included hoodies, hats, shorts, gloves, and all of it
totaled two two hundred and ninety six dollars and seven cents,
(26:28):
making their robbery a felony. Moreover, since there's multiple of
them involved, a conspiracy to commit a felony? Okay, what
age under fourteen? Under fourteen now, they were promptly arrested.
The store called the coach, who apparently had no idea
that eight of his players weren't still under his supervision
(26:48):
but were now in police custody. Listen to Polk County Sheriff.
This is Grady Judd as he describes what happened next
to a Listen.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
To introduce you to their coach. His name's Reynon binds Bys.
So when we notify the coach who is responsible for them,
you would think he would be interested in holding them
accountable and responsible. Instead, he goes to the deputies and
begs them not to take these young men into custody. Oh,
(27:21):
don't arrest them, drop the charges, let them go. And
then when we said no, then they go to Dick's
Sporting Goods to the manager and said, oh, don't charge them.
Don't charge them. They were not taking bubblegum. One piece
to you. They stole over two thousand dollars worth of products,
(27:45):
over forty seven different products they stole. And then when
it was evident that they were going to be arrested,
then the coach says, don't you guys have anything better
to do? What are all these deputies doing here? Don't
you have anything better to do?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Well, in Philadelphia, they apparently let a lot of thieves go,
and this coach is like, welly should just let the
kids go? Standard practice in Democrat run areas these days,
especially places like Philadelphia that have a Soros funded attorney.
He's fourteen year old boys thought they were going to
get away with stealing two thousand dollars worth of stuff.
Why cause maybe they got away.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
With it in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I mean, if you get away with it at home,
why would you think you could get away with it?
On the road makes sense.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
It does, certainly.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
And the coach himself is part of the problem. He
wasn't teaching responsibility, He wasn't teaching them respect for the
rule of law. He was teaching them that when you
get caught, what you're supposed to do is blame the
victim for being upset about being robbed and then blame
the police for doing their job. Here's Sheriff Grady Judd again.
Speaker 9 (28:49):
Take a listen, hey, here's a note to people in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
If you hold kids accountable and responsible, and they know
if they go in the store and still they're going
to be held accountable, they don't do it. You didn't
see eight kids from Polk County in a store this
weekend stealing, did you? And there's eight hundred and fifty
(29:10):
thousand people in this county. Well, and then you have
a coach comes down there and tries to beg them
out of it instead of holding them accountable. It's frustrating.
But our crime in Polk County is a fifty three
year low. Ask and see if crime in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
(29:30):
is at a fifty three year low.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
That seemed like a Reasonableloody uet of me.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
So yeah, I mean, but at the same time, I mean,
I mean, why doesn't this coach understand that, see, these
are kids, right, they're juveniles, They're fourteen years old.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
Now, I could understand the coach from a legal perspective.
Let's just say from a from if he was a lawyer. Okay,
he would say, look, the kids are.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
Sorry, they blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (29:58):
You know, let's just kind of move on from this.
But there's a larger lesson here because yeah, you know what,
they'll get pulled before a judge, and the judge may
in fact dismiss it, or.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
You know, Florida probation.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
But what's more important, what's more valuable than all of that,
is the life lesson right that you must do what
is right even when you think no one is watching.
In fact, you shouldn't do what's right, especially when no
one is watching.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
And when you hold people accountable when they break the law,
they become less likely to break the law. The Sheriff's
right on this. And look, I don't have crime data
for this year in Philadelphia, but I knew though I
do know that in twenty twenty one, Philadelphia hit an
all time high in its murder rate, nearly six hundred
murders in the city that year. Polk County, Florida, is
at a fifty three year low. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is at
(30:52):
an all time high. Maybe that's because Polk County respects
the rule of law and Philadelphia at this point doesn't.
The Left is like, we're over arresting people.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
No, we're not.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
People are committing too many crimes.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
And then you.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Wonder why we have a society filled with people who
blame one another for whatever happens in their life instead
of taking accountability. We've got adults that are complicit in
creating this entire generation that we're seeing right now.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
If you don't enforce the rule of law, you end up.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
You're listening to American ground Radio.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Do you ever get tired of taking a handful of
vitamins every morning? You'll love Protobyte plus from Victory Nutrition International.
It's a powerful packet loaded with essentials, so just tear

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Protobyte plus go to v and I dot live, slash
agr and use the code AGR twenty to save twenty.
Welcome back to America Ground Radium Stephen Power with Lewis alone.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
It was done for a very good reason. What's that.
Speaker 5 (32:18):
Donald Trump was explaining why the United States seized this
Venezuelan oil tank.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
The oil taker, Right, Yeah, so today the.
Speaker 6 (32:29):
Largest ever seized by US forces.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
By the way, today the United States seized an oil
tanker that was coming out of Venezuela. It had actually
been subject to international sanctions and so yeah, we seized
it on the high seas well.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
And Pam Bondi, the Attorney General of the United States,
said that it was part of an illicit network supporting
foreign terrorist organizations.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
I mean, she's not talking about some paperwork error.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I believe what she's talking about is national security.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Well, Donald Trump has designated the drug cartels to be
international terrorist organization similar to Al Qaeda, similar to al Shabab.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
So maybe this's isis maybe this oil tanker wasn't transporting oil.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Well, even if it was transporting oil, if it was
transporting oil that was going to be used to fund
illegal activities, if it's going to be if this oil
tanker was actually being used by the cartels to fund
the cartels, it's it's within American law to seize them
on the high seas, and international law out in the
open ocean, international law doesn't.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Quite really apply.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
I just thought it was somewhat humorous because someone asked
President Trump, well, why.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
Did we do this, and he goes it was for
a very good reason.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
And he didn't explain anymore.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
He didn't explain anymore.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
But look, when America stands up, I mean, time and
time again, when America stands up like we did.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Today, the bad guys sit down.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
You think, I mean, I haven't seen that. I haven't
seen the cartels sitting down yet. But we are certainly
putting some pressure on them that's going to make them
try and rethink their business model. And that's part of
the benefit of doing this is that we are Nobody
has been standing up to the cartels so far. This
is really the first pushback they've had with anything that
(34:21):
matched their firepower level. The cartels can outgun the Mexican government,
well they can't outgun the American government.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
And the cartels can go find more markets, other markets
maybe they can invest more heavily in other markets, just
not in the United States.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
But that's part of the problem. There is no better
drug market than the United States of America.
Speaker 6 (34:40):
Unfortunately, certainly won't be as profitable for the right.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
There not as many people who have as much disposable
income who thinks that that's what they want to do
with their lives. That's something we need to work on
as a country. But this is this is a good
move by Trump.
Speaker 6 (34:53):
And God blessed President Trump for doing that.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Let's get to a bright spot, all right, Well, there's
a bright spot out of Texas Tech University. And we've
talked a lot about how ideology, woke ideology has infiltrated
American universities from coast to coast. Well, that did include
Texas Tech and the Texas Tech System out in West Texas.
(35:19):
But the state started to crack down on wokeism on campus,
banning the teaching of DEI and white privilege and things
like that by state law.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
Pretty good.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Now, Texas Tech earlier this year got a new chancellor,
Brandon Creighton. Well, Creighton takes this seriously because he's the
one who wrote the state law banning DEI and universities.
That's a pretty good person to be hiring to make
sure that this doesn't happen anymore in Texas Tech. But
what's even better is he's been able to do it
(35:52):
at Texas Tech with one simple flow chart. A flow
chart is changing an entire institution. On the first of
this Creighton sent professors a at Texas Tech a memo
banning DEI, officially banning it, saying there would be no
teaching of race or sex based prejudice on campuses, that
there would be no teaching that an individual is inherently
(36:14):
racist or sexist by virtue of their race or gender,
and that individuals bear responsibility or guilt for the actions
of others of the same sex. We're not going to
teach that. And he attached to float chart helping these
professors figure out if something should be taken out of
the curriculum that they're preparing for these classes. And the
very first question there's a little box sitting up on
the flow chart in the upper corner. First question is
(36:37):
is the course material relevant and necessary for classroom instruction?
Speaker 5 (36:43):
If not, eliminate it, well, come on, I mean, you
know a professor is going to be able to rationalize
that say, well, yeah, of course it is. I've got
to give the other side. I need to let the
students know that what they may think they understand, they
don't fully understand.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Okay, but if you if you treat that question with
honesty and academic rigor, that gets rid of most DEI
right there. You don't need to be telling students that
white people know.
Speaker 6 (37:11):
If you yet, you're you're right.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
But I mean, I think it's okay, but maybe it's
a realistic to expect that out of a lot of
academia today.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Okay, there's more flow chart. This was just the first question. Okay,
so the first question. But you don't need to be
telling students that white people are inherently racist in order
to teach calculus or accounting or electrical engineering. You just
don't most subjects. You don't have to do it.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
It has nothing to.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Do with the the the material. So then he asked
if it's required for professional licensure, patient care or whatever.
If so, if this is really part of that, it's
likely to be able to stay in the course. If not,
it's going to get submitted to review by the department
chair and then up the chain to the dean and
then up to the provost for the universities. So that's
(37:57):
the thing is that here we've got to we've got
to check this. Now, ask yourself this question. Is this
actually germane to the topic I'm teaching. If not, it's
got to go. If I think it is, that's fine.
I now have to make my argument that this topic
is germane to the subject is important for licensure if
these students can on to be professionals. And I have
(38:18):
to defend that to my boss and my boss's boss
and my boss's boss's boss.
Speaker 5 (38:22):
Well. DII needs to be done away with across the
board because it rejects the American dream. It does it
says that America is inherently racist, that hard work can't
overcome obstacles, that the system is rigged, that success is
predetermined by identity, and it is a lie, it is poison.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
It is a direct assault on the American dream. DII
needs to go away.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
And just this one simple question will then make almost
all woke teachings on campus across the country, and that
would be a bright spot.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
You are listening to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Welcome bout to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
Stephen Palmer Lewis you know how you get those credit
card offers in the mail?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
I don't really anymore, but I used to.
Speaker 6 (39:20):
Okay, have you have.
Speaker 5 (39:23):
You received a credit card offer for the Trump Gold Card?
Speaker 2 (39:27):
No? I haven't received a Trump Gold Card.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
What about the Trump Corporate Gold Card or the Trump
Platinum Card.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
Actually none of those are credit cards. But President Trump
is rolling out you know, that whole pay to be
a citizen or a fast track right paying to expedite
your application for citizenship. So he rolled out today the
Trump Gold Card. I think he announced it in September,
(39:57):
but now it's rolled out. The Trump Gold Card art
one million dollars okay for fast track US residency.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
I have a feeling that eighty percent of the people
who get the Trump Gold Cards to get into the
United States are not going to end up on government
run no benefits.
Speaker 5 (40:14):
You're right, and uh, it's a one time use. Only
it's not like you get the one the card for
a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
And you can bring everybody else.
Speaker 6 (40:22):
You can bring everybody else in.
Speaker 5 (40:24):
Then there's the Trump Corporate Gold Card that's two million dollars.
That's if a business wants to bring you over as
an employee.
Speaker 6 (40:31):
Okay, that's two million dollars.
Speaker 5 (40:33):
And then the Trump Platinum Card and that is five
million dollars that allows you to stay in the United
States without being taxed for like two hundred and seventy days.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
WHOA when I say whoa A mean?
Speaker 6 (40:54):
Whoa?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Well, police officers in Athens, Georgia, came across dozens of
Christmas packages just left out in the middle of the
street in a residential area. They called the delivery company
they was supposed to deliver the packages, and the delivery
company said they were ware of the problem. You see,
the driver, the delivery employee, who was supposed to make
sure those packages got where they were going, instead decided
to quit in the middle of the job, just left
(41:16):
the packages right where they were. Well, the police officers
didn't want people to miss out on their Christmas gifts,
so they decided to do what the delivery driver was
unwilling to do, deliver the packages. That's right. The police
officers took the packages, delivered each one to the address
that was listed on the box.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
Athens.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Clark Sergeant Cooper told the local news we know that
a lot of people worked hard for the packages, and
the right thing to do was to play Santa.
Speaker 6 (41:41):
Love that story has a great story.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
