  • Letlow's NDA Timeline: Insider Trading or Innocent Coincidence?

    Letlow's NDA Timeline: Insider Trading or Innocent Coincidence?
    2026/08/13
    You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avalone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 12, 2026.

    We open with a deep dive into the new report on Congresswoman Julia Letlow's stock trading activity, examining the timeline between her signing a non-disclosure agreement tied to Meta's Richland Parish data center project and a subsequent Merrill Lynch account purchase of Meta and Nvidia stock months later. We walk through her office's response, the broader context of her January disclosure filing, and why we think the reporting glosses over an explanation she'd already given months earlier.

    In our Top 3, we cover the Lafayette DA declining to file charges over the Como High School closure decision, St. George's move to stand up a part-time volunteer police force, and the reopening of Shreveport's Fire Station 20 after a three-year closure for environmental hazards.

    We return to the Letlow story to unpack who's behind the reporting and the politics swirling around it, then Dig Deep into St. Tammany Parish President Mike Cooper's veto of a zoning change that would have cleared the way for 800 new homes, using it as a jumping-off point for a broader conversation on housing affordability and regulation.

    From there we look at Mike Lindell's second-place finish in the Minnesota Republican gubernatorial primary despite President Trump's endorsement, and what his stance on immigration amnesty may have cost him. In Say What, we play a clip of Senator John Kennedy blasting the socialist wing of the Democratic Party on Fox News. We also break down the stunning primary loss of Wisconsin Democratic Socialist candidate Francesca Hong, whose call to cancel Thanksgiving may have sunk her campaign despite a big polling lead.

    We lighten things up with a quick game guessing the deadliest animal in each U.S. state, before closing out the hour with Senator Ron Johnson's claims that Dr. Fauci deleted contacts from his phone to obscure his texting activity, and the unsettling vaccine miscarriage data tied to it.

  • AI Is Answering 911 Calls in New Orleans — What Could Go Wrong?

    AI Is Answering 911 Calls in New Orleans — What Could Go Wrong?
    2026/08/12
    You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avalone and Stephen Parr.This is the full show for August 11, 2026.

    We open with Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy breaking with President Trump over a new executive order reshaping childhood vaccine recommendations, and why Stephen thinks Cassidy has lost credibility to lecture anyone on "trusting the experts" after his record during COVID. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we cover Orleans Parish Sheriff Michelle Woodfork's new oversight council for New Orleans jails, a Lafayette City Marshal's Office employee arrested for embezzlement, and a state audit finding most of Louisiana's weigh stations aren't operational, letting overweight trucks tear up local roads unchecked.

    We dig into New Orleans' use of AI to help handle overflow 911 calls and why we think that's a dangerous place to cut corners. We're Digging Deep on the Shreveport mayor's race, breaking down Tom Arsenault's path to reelection and whether fellow Republican John Paul Young's entry into the race helps or hurts him. Plus, Zoran Mamdani's crackdown on e-bike retailers in New York City, AOC's "woke one" versus "woke two" comments about fellow socialist Francesca Hong, and Minnesota AG Keith Ellison's praise for socialists pushing the Democratic Party to "debate ideas."

    We play a game of Say What with state-by-state alcohol consumption data, and close out the hour with the State Department revoking over 175,000 visas from foreign nationals arrested for crimes while in the U.S.

  • Pickleball Courts Before Jail Cells? Caddo Parish's Priorities

    Pickleball Courts Before Jail Cells? Caddo Parish's Priorities
    2026/08/11
    You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for August 10, 2026.

    We open with qualifying now closed for Louisiana races, and a hard truth about local politics: any district attorney candidate talking tough on crime who isn't also calling for more jail space is just making noise. We dig into the Caddo Parish jail overcrowding crisis, the state's decades-long retreat from building correctional facilities, and how the Caddo Parish Commission is prioritizing a $70 million pickleball and sports complex over jail beds.

    We run through the Top 3: the Fifth Circuit upholding New Orleans' right to restrict short-term rentals, the Caddo Parish Commission's search for a new sports complex site ahead of a November bond vote, and Louisiana's crowded congressional races now that qualifying has ended. In Digging Deep, we break down the biggest DA races across the state, from Caddo's Stewart-vs-Sabaugh showdown to open seats in Monroe and Hiller Moore's first contested race in Baton Rouge since 2008.

    Jay Young, founder of King Operating Corporation and host of The Jay Young Show, joins us to explain why the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at a 45-year low, what it means for gas prices, and how U.S. oil production is reshaping our energy independence. We also cover newly revealed text messages showing Dr. Fauci knew the COVID vaccine posed miscarriage risks to pregnant women while continuing to push it. We play a game with DoorDash's cheapest cheeseburger combo cities across the country, and we call out Sports Illustrated for framing a flagrant, violent foul on Sophie Cunningham as "karma."

    May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
