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.

Stigall interviews a friend named Paula Romang - a deeply spiritual woman who gave birth to twin boys - one of whom was perfectly healthy while the other struggled for years. And then, the worst happened. But Paula’s perspective as a Christian turned into a testimony anyone struggling with grief needs to read In her new book “Thriving in the Barren Place: How Trust in God Fueled My Journey Through Heartache and Loss.” -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 know what they'll say. "You MAGA people life in a fiction. None of that is true!" Whether it's election 2020, or the illegal raid on Trumps home, or the FBI and J6 - it's all 100% true. The Deep State is a real thing weaponized against Trump and his voters. Stigall has receipts. More broadly, Stigall believes whether it's the NGOs uncovered by Marco Rubio or over at the EPA - as well as the Epstein story, welfare spending, or the scandal in Minnesota - it's all about laundering money. It's well explained and unpacked today. Eliminate the filibuster to get stuff done quickly before next year? Senator Dave McCormick is of two minds and discusses the showdown with Venezuela. Republican strategist Erin Maguire and Stigall discuss what 2026 looks like as new polling suggests it's not nearly the typical kind of midyear election, so far. Also - professional sports stadiums - not often popular with taxpayers but politically - fortunes can rise or fall depending on where they move. At least a couple of NFL franchises are potentially even leaving their current home states. - For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigall Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/ Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPod Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're a gloom-and-doomer, this isnt' your show. President Trump made history last night and it was as much what he said as it was the way he said it. Stigall has all the highlights of the speech and explains how some of his biggest critics (and not just on the left) wound up being useful dupes to get all eyes on him last night. Fani freaks out in Fulton County as she's forced to face the fleecing of the taxpayers in her fraudulent attempt to take President Trump down over phony charges of election interference. Meanwhile that repulsive Jack Smith is called to Capitol Hill to answer for his unlawful seizure of Congressional phone records, the Mar-a-lago raid, and more.

Stigall believes it's the seminole issue of our political era. It changes everything about our country and our system if not properly handled and prosecuted. The raid on President Trump's home has now been officially uncovered as unauthorized and illegal by Biden's own FBI. Still, AG Garland and Biden proceeded with the raid. Mark Weaver joins the show to discuss the significance of this finding and where we go from here. Did you know assisted suicide is now legal in 12 states? That came as news to Stigall.

Many are angry with President Trump’s reaction to the murder of Hollywood actor and film maker Rob Reiner and his wife. Stigall takes a page from Reiner’s hit film “A Few Good Men” to discuss this further. Meanwhile, protecting the homeland is one of his chief responsibilities, and on that front he’s kicking butt. Border enforcement, deportations, drug boats, and foiled terror plots are among the many wins racked up just these last few months of his first year in office. But the economy still looms large, so Vice President Vance is hitting the trail to tackle the message today as gas prices continue to fall and people are still spending record amounts for Christmas. Steve Moore joins to explore the economic story. And a new family film hits theaters in a couple of days “David” by Angel Studios.

Or so says Joy Reid. Stigall explains. And an interesting few calls today on open line Friday to discuss Stigall's belief it's housing and student loans that -if dealt with properly by Republicans - will be their calling card to victory next year. Sen Eric Schmitt torches a member of the media over her characterization of the drug boat strikes. The Indiana Senate Republicans just stabbed their own party in the back yesterday. In Wisconsin, you'll meet Judge Jim Troupis who is single-handedly warring with the left over election integrity issues in 2020 and is paying a heavy price.

And absolutely unprecedented move by the Trump administration in seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker off their coast yesterday. Stigall unpacks the justification behind it and why it's part of a much bigger strategy in the White House. Young people are getting squeezed, it's true. So much so they're choosing to avoid having families. However, new studies reveal an upcoming generation of new investors is booming - and you won't believe their average age! Plus what we now know to be true about that COVID shot and young men, Erika Kirk hits the media circuit to push back against her critics during a time of grief, and what do you know?

When the going gets tough - bring out the best messenger in modern political history to redirect the discussion. President Trump hit the trail in Pennsylvania last night to discuss the economy and he brought his new political star - listen for the crowd's reaction! Oh, and even Joy Reid is asking why Biden didn't crack down on crime now! The new RNC chair Joe Gruters makes a stop by the show to explain the plan to do something historically difficult - maintain control of Congress after winning the White House.

There's a darkness that's just become obvious and difficult to ignore as much as Stigall tries. It's feeding despair to young men in particular and driving dangerous ideologies and actions. Stigall has named it Revelation Theory and unpacks it in more detail today in response to shots fired at podcaster Tim Poole's home. The good news is President Trump is hitting the stump and bringing in real working voices of the country to tell the story of the economy and what he's doing to make affordability great again. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin explains today one of the primary drivers of that economic rebound is taking the restraints off of energy development. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn also joins the show to discuss an interesting issue with musicians/singers and broadcasters as well as Democrats' insistent focus on the drug boat strikes that poll very popular with voters. And Col. Kurt Schlicter with his brand new book and plenty of thoughts on the matter.

It's an amazing business story and one that has Hollywood and everyone who streams movies and shows watching with great interest. Could Netflix be about to purchase Warner Brothers and HBO? If so, what does it mean for how you see most of your favorite shows and movies? Christian Toto from HollywoodInToto.com breaks it down. President Trump has appointed Scott Bessent to be his "affordability" point man. The National Taxpayers Union has tracked the fast states to grow and lose population and Brandon Arnold who's the Executive VP shares the data. Erin Maguire is back for Monday's with Maguire to discuss how the GOP can or cannot weather this affordability discontent among the electorate and what it will mean for midterms.

Washington is full of both. Yesterday, Stigall was on Capitol Hill talking with the former. Members of the House's Republican Study Committee. Their objective was to message to you that first, they have an agenda they believe is working and two, they're not done. It's ultimately up to you if you like what you hear or not.
