You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 28,2026. 

We open by digging into the detention of conservative commentator Milo Yiannopoulos, arrested by ICE in New Orleans after overstaying his visa and missing an immigration hearing, and we make the case that enforcing the law evenly, even against a high-profile conservative, is exactly how it should work. We run through our Top 3, covering the Louisiana GOP's unprecedented dual endorsement in the CD6 congressional race, their endorsement of Misty Cordell in CD5, and more on Yiannopoulos's detention.

We phone LA GOP Chairman Derek Babcock to get the full story behind the dueling endorsements and how the party's decades-old endorsement process may need updating. We talk about Jelly Roll walking back comments after hosting Jimmy Kimmel's show, and why we think Dolly Parton, Kenny Chesney, and the late Johnny Carson had it right by staying out of politics as entertainers. Say What brings us Senator John Fetterman's comments to Greta Van Susteren about the Democratic Party's leftward drift, plus a poll showing Fetterman is more popular with Pennsylvania Republicans than their own senator. We poke fun at the NFL's end zone slogans and debate whether messages like "End Racism" actually accomplish anything, then break down the Center Square Voters' Voice poll on the top issues heading into this fall's election, led by inflation and the economy. We close with an update on Iran's collapsing economy, its outreach to Qatar, and the underreported story of U.S. Navy escorts moving hundreds of millions of barrels of oil safely through the Strait of Hormuz.
