Approved Speech, Punished Patriots, and Lincoln's Warning

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for April 7, 2026.  We kick things off with a story that should have every freedom-loving American paying attention — Gavin Newsom's wife Jennifer is pushing for legislation that would essentially direct tech companies to steer young boys away from conservative ideas online. We dig into what that really means, who gets to define what's "good," and why we see this as a direct assault on free speech and the First Amendment. Then our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to tackle a question we've all seen play out in real life — why do organizations that push out their founders so often fall apart? From Apple and Steve Jobs to a private school in Arlington, Texas that's now closing its doors, we get into the jealousy, the blind spots, and the hard lesson that when you extinguish the visionary, you extinguish the vision. In our Digging Deep segment, we're calling out a pattern that is anything but fringe. A Georgia Democrat candidate went viral calling for Trump voters to lose their internet access for four years as punishment for how they voted. We connect the dots from Jennifer Newsom to James Carville to The New Republic — and make the case that what Democrats want isn't just political power, it's the ability to punish anyone who dared to disagree with them. For our Bright Spot, we share a moment from Vice President J.D. Vance's press conference in Hungary that stopped us in our tracks. When asked whether God is on America's side in the conflict with Iran, Vance gave an answer that was humble, grounded, and frankly exactly what you want to hear from someone in his position. We break down why it matters — and why it echoes something Abraham Lincoln said during the Civil War. And we close out with words of wisdom from Lincoln himself — on friendship, on the will of God in times of conflict, and on the prayer that war would speedily pass away. Timeless stuff, and more relevant today than ever. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, visit AmericanGroundRadio.com, and join the conversation at 866-AGR-1776!
