You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 12, 2026.

We start with a rough weekend for Louisiana sports. LSU dropped another SEC game, the Saints lost, and we ask whether a $91 million coaching contract should come with championship results. Then we get to some good news. Louisiana has been ranked ninth in the nation for doing business in Area Development’s 2026 rankings, based on a survey of 50 site selection consultants. We go through the rest of the list, including Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee at the top, and the categories where Louisiana shines, like number two for energy costs, number four for grid capacity, and number four for workforce training. We also ask what it all means for keeping Louisiana’s young people at home.

In the Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the police chief and assistant chief at Grambling University have resigned, and the university says the move is unrelated to the recent arrest of the student body president. A New Roads city councilman is suing the city over access to its credit card records, in a town where two of the last four mayors went to prison for misusing public funds. And the online voter registration deadline is just around the corner, with early voting starting October 20th.

Next, we dig into the debate over the planned execution of Nidal Hasan, set by firing squad for December 3rd. Some Catholic bishops are objecting, Speaker Mike Johnson has raised national security concerns about a live stream, and we weigh in on whether the decision should rest with the victims’ families. In Digging Deep, we ask whether Louisiana should scrap its film industry tax credit. Economic impact has fallen from about $1 billion a year to $185 million, and overseas competition may matter more than other states do.

We also take a sobering look at the killing of a Philadelphia police officer and the troubling allegations about why he was targeted. Then in Say What, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sends a scorching letter to Senator Elizabeth Warren, complete with a handwritten Indigenous Peoples Day note at the end. We come back around to the federal investigation of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and what denaturalization could mean. Then we lighten things up with the National Retail Federation’s list of the ten most popular Halloween costumes for dogs. We close with the ugly scene after the Georgia-Alabama game, when bottles and trash rained down from the stands, and ask when fan spirit turns into assault.
