The Chris Stigall Show

DOGE continues to uncover shocking fraud inside Social Security and very likely the IRS with the head of the organization stepping down this week. Meanwhile, in House testimony a watchdog group is uncovering billions in furniture purchases to lease payments to members of Congress and their families from your tax dollars. Trump backs China further in a corner while markets boom on his decision to pause tariffs and negotiate with over 75 countries. Economist EJ Antoni breaks it down and White House Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields responds to all the activity economically yesterday. Julie Kelly returns to discuss the lawfare uncovered by the DOJ and that we all need some patience to discover in full Biden's abuses. As for rogue judges, Julie has a much different view. And the former chief of staff at EPA Mandy Gunasekara on Trump's return to beautiful, clean coal. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow-Global Coin, for exclusive listener offers go to https://www.shopglobalcoin.com/pages/stigall or call 1-888-560-3125.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stigall went to a black man and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson for a response to the Mamdani administration's claim in New York City. In his own soft-spoken way - he makes it clear where he stands on that claim. What's motivating the Senate Republican's inaction on the SAVE Act? Perhaps a whole lot of money you might not know about and it's impacting the proceedings on Capitol Hill. The real time insights of online sentiments regarding Iran, the economy and much more from Chris Wilson at Eyes Over. While Iran is the focus, to Israel's north is a very nasty fight with Iran's proxy Hezbollah - we get the latest insights from Yael Eckstein, the president and CEO of IFCJ. And as President Trump stumps in Kentucky - Dr. Oz becomes an accidental hero at the event! -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Stigall often points out - what's reality versus what media is trying to make you feel are entirely different things. It's also true that the GOP is not on their game right now when it comes to offense. Stigall takes Senate Majority Leader John Thune to task for his unwillingness to tackle the SAVE America Act. President Trump continues to remain resolute and focused on getting the legislation across the finish line and while Democrats are historically unpopular - the Congressional Republicans aren't messaging well at all. As for the efforts in Iran, Stiagll thinks less Lyndsey Graham and more visits to the Joe Rogan media venues are the way to counter the sometimes legitimate, sometimes disingenuous criticisms of the President's efforts in Iran. Plus, our colleagues at Townhall.com go undercover to expose the radical commitment to "transitioning" minors in the public school system. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You likely didn't notice the slight of hand pulled by the Mayor of New York this weekend. A protest in front of the Mayor's home was attacked by Islamist terrorists but the mayor made the attack appear directed at the Mayor himself and completely ignored the motivation. Stigall unpacks it. Will you be happy with an Iran totally defeated and neutered of weapons but their leadership stays the same? It's a question explored today with John Hayward from Breitbart.com as well as our weekly Republican strategy session with Erin Maguire. Stigall shared a well-written analysis of what victory truly looks like in Iran as well written by someone who's studied and taught in war college. Plus, Democrats are in a sorry shape and Bill maher makes that point to their faces. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Clintons are back and this time they're talking Epstein. Stigall notes the shift in messaging from her to give plausible deniability. Democrats seem to be coming out of the woodwork to commend President Trump after the State of the Union in some places, while Democrats are learning they might have caused themselves real harm after staying seated during so many 80/20 issues discussed before the nation.

It was a real privilege and honor to be asked to return to the White House the day after the State of the Union address. Stigall had the opportunity to sit with several members of President Trump‘s cabinet and officials who were happy and eager to talk up the MAGA agenda. Also, issues that may not have been on our radar. We’ve heard many complaints surrounding the concern about President Trump’s executive order protecting the weed killer “Round Up.” You’ll hear a pretty nuanced discussion about it from the HHS Director on Human Food (yes, that’s a real thing.). Dr. Oz and VP Vance launches a broadside on Medicare and Medicare fraud yesterday and we got a preview from Dr. Oz.

Because it's all politics all the time in this era, not everyone can simply be happy for the gold medal winning men's hockey victory over Canada but President Trump and his team certainly are.

What drives the modern progressive movement — ideology, identity, or something deeper?

Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld joins Stigall to discuss The Soros Agenda and the financial and political influence shaping global activism and domestic policy.

Then we explore a provocative cultural question: the identity politics and political alignment of the modern liberal white woman. Why has this demographic shifted so dramatically, and what does it mean for elections, institutions, and culture?

Is chaos accidental — or is it political strategy?

Brent Dusing, founder and CEO of TruPlay, joins Stigall to discuss building culture through entertainment and why storytelling matters more than ever.

Then we take on the bigger picture: from the Obama years to COVID to the era of Trump 47, how has the political left used crisis, lawfare, and institutional pressure to win elections and silence opposition? This is a candid look at the mechanics of modern political power — and how conservatives respond.

Gen Z is dating less, marrying later — or not at all — and reporting record levels of loneliness.

Delano Squires of the Heritage Foundation joins Stigall to unpack new data showing a real dating drought among young Americans. What’s driving it — technology, economics, cultural messaging, fear of commitment? And after National Marriage Week, why does promoting marriage now feel almost controversial?

Then — Stigall connects the dots in a broader monologue: from Venezuela to Greenland, global monetary strategy is proving something critical — leverage is freedom. Nations that control their resources and currency hold power. Those that don’t, don’t.

From family formation to foreign policy, the theme is the same: stability and strength require structure, not chaos.-For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
