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 March 26, 2026.In this episode of American Ground Radio, we cover a lot of ground—from a major push to crack down on abortion-by-mail in Louisiana to the growing political battles shaping the state’s future.We start with Senator Bill Cassidy and his latest move to demand answers from companies manufacturing the abortion drug mifepristone. We break down the concerns over transparency, safety, and federal oversight—and why this issue is becoming a flashpoint between states like Louisiana and abortion-friendly states like California and New York. With Attorney General Liz Murrill preparing legal action and Governor Jeff Landry pushing back, this fight is far from over.Then we shift to the “Top 3 Things You Need to Know,” including a billion-dollar sewer problem in Shreveport, how a partial government shutdown is impacting flood insurance across the state, and yet another tragic train accident involving Amtrak.In the second half, we sit down with Congresswoman Julia Letlow, who’s now running for Senate. We ask the tough questions about her late entry into the race, her endorsement from Donald Trump, and where she stands on key issues like carbon capture, government spending, and expanding rail service. Plus, we get personal—talking about her journey, her motivations for serving, and what she believes sets her apart from Senator Cassidy and Dr. John Fleming.We also dive into a bigger conversation about political debates—why they matter, what happens when candidates avoid them, and whether voters should be skeptical when politicians won’t stand side-by-side and answer tough questions.And finally, we tackle the growing controversy over “carpetbagging” in congressional races—should candidates be required to actually live in the districts they want to represent? It sounds like common sense… but in today’s political landscape, even that’s up for debate. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, visit AmericanGroundRadio.com, and join the conversation at 866-AGR-1776!
