You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 6, 2026.

We start with great news for Louisiana: a projected 55,000 new jobs over the next two years, driven by a wave of industrial investment. We run through the numbers from Baton Rouge to Lake Charles to Shreveport-Bossier, with Monroe headed for record employment thanks to a massive Meta data center. We also debate whether it's time to celebrate or whether we should wait for the chickens to hatch, and why this moment feels different from the broken promises of the past. Then we switch gears to Senator Bill Cassidy, who lost his closed Republican primary and is now pushing federal legislation to force open primaries in every state.

In the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, we start with the first shipment of Venezuelan aluminum in more than a decade, 15,000 tons arriving at Avondale. Next, SpaceX has filed for a permit to build a new wharf, warehouse, and 16-mile roadway to support its South Louisiana space center. Third, New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno paid off a bet with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens by wearing a Falcons jersey after the Saints' 45-24 loss.

After the break, we look at the City of New Orleans helping residents buy e-bikes with a federal EPA climate grant. We break down the vouchers, the safety classes, and whether any of it makes sense.

In Digging Deep, we take on an AP article about a Black community in Louisiana facing a future "without a champion in Congress" after redistricting, and the premise that you can only be represented by someone who looks like you. We question what Congressman Cleo Fields actually accomplished as a minority-party member, and we dig into the history of the Democrat Party, Reconstruction, and the Voting Rights Act.

Next, two planes collided on the tarmac at LAX, and we use it to talk about the strained relationship between the U.S. and Canada. We cover the tariff and trade disputes, Chinese steel, Quebec's election win for the National Party, and the upcoming Alberta referendum on becoming its own country. We also talk about Canada's best exports, namely its comedians.

Then we play Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's answer to Shannon Bream on whether his Catholic faith makes him biased. We debate whether judges can set aside their personal beliefs, what the Constitution says about religious tests, and why justices must rule on the text of the law.

Don Henley has poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into Democratic candidates this cycle, including James Talarico's Senate race in Texas. We take on celebrity politics, and whether we'd still go to the concert. Then we play a game: six years after the COVID lockdowns, which states stayed locked down the longest, and which eight never locked down at all?

We close with the ongoing Minnesota fraud scandal, including the sentencing of an aide to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey in the Feeding Our Future case, and the question of whether state leaders were negligent or complicit.
