You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 2,2026.

We start with a story out of Ruston, where two Louisiana Tech students were arrested for allegedly blasting racial slurs through a loudspeaker near campus. We're clear that the speech was ugly, racist, and offensive. We also take a look at it from a constitutional angle, covering the First Amendment, Louisiana's disturbing the peace statute, and the narrow "fighting words" exception, and why how and where something is said can matter as much as what was said.

In the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Attorney General Liz Murrill's opinion places Blake Miguez's residence in New Iberia Parish, and we explain why he can keep his state Senate seat and still run in the 6th Congressional District. Baton Rouge residents are complaining about noise from Amazon delivery drones flying low over their neighborhoods. And Shreveport Regional Airport plans to tear down its 1970s control tower and build a new $40 million one as part of a broader expansion.

Next, we talk about a new 528-bed facility in Alexandria for families, unaccompanied minors, and single adult women awaiting deportation. We discuss why keeping families together matters, how the left is responding, and the debate over words like "cage."

In Digging Deep, we compare city budgets. New Orleans is proposing cuts to its police department, including body cameras and civilian staffing, while Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux is proposing a 6% raise for police and firefighters with no new taxes. We talk about what the difference says about leadership.

After the break, Charles Barkley tells Chris Cuomo what voters are really hearing from Democrats ahead of the midterms. In Say What, CNN's Harry Enten explains how Republicans have beaten September polls in Iowa, Ohio, and Michigan, and we ask whether the polls are wrong, biased, or meant to demoralize voters.

Then we ask why some Democratic politicians seem to favor illegal immigrants over American citizens, and we play a game for Italian American Heritage Month: which countries sent the most immigrants to the U.S. in the 1960s, and which send the most today?

We wrap up with President Trump's trip to Mobile, Alabama, and a look at how the press covers a presidential visit by focusing on the road closures and canceled classes instead of the opportunity.
