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. We'll have bonus content coming later in the week featuring even more members who didn't make it today's show. Today, you'll hear Rep. Tom Emmer go OFF on his governor Tim Walz, Rep. Eric Burlison with a real idea to fix Obamacare, and Rep. August Pfluger of Texas explains what the RSC is all about. Plus, are Crisis Pregnancy Centers targets of New Jersey government? Sure seems that way and it seems like that what Justice Clarence Thomas thought. Hear his aggressive line of question directed at New Jersey's Attorney General's office, and Carrie Severino of the Judicial Network explains the case in full. Plus, the governor of West Virginia updates us on the health of the surviving Guardsman and the two grieving families in his state after they were ambushed by a terrorist on the streets of Washington D.C. And can you believe - of all places - they're still mandating the stupid shot for school kids?!

Surprising good economic news as Americans head into the holiday season — what our shopping habits reveal about the state of the economy, and what the pundits are missing.

Then, a sobering turn: the murder of a National Guard member in Washington, D.C., allegedly at the hands of a radicalized Afghan migrant. Stigall digs into the facts, the policy failures, and the political implications of a story that’s shaking the capital.

An enormous scandal for Democrats in Minnesota and Tim Walz specifically as his own government is blaming him for the billion-dollar fraud. Stigall explains.

Next, the GOP’s growing pressure on affordability. With cost-of-living frustrations boiling over, Republicans are scrambling to address the issue — and Stigall explains why this moment matters more than the usual election-year noise.

We also cover President Trump’s escalating clash with Democrats over his approach to narco-terrorism in waters to America’s south — a fight that blends national security, geopolitics, and election-season theater.

Finally, a provocative cultural question: Are Christians being manipulated by “toxic empathy”? We explore what the term means, how it shows up in politics and the church, and whether compassion is being weaponized.

Stigall sits down with longtime friend of the show Mark Weaver, former DOJ spokesperson and author of the new children’s book "God Bless America: 250 Years Strong." They dive into the surprisingly young history of the United States, what kids need to know but often aren’t being taught, and how to shape a healthier, stronger nation for the next 250 years.

Then, Stigall welcomes E.J. Antoni, chief economist at the Heritage Foundation, for a sharp, practical look at affordability, the economic pressures facing families, and how the Trump administration is approaching the challenge from tariffs to A.I. and much more.

An episode about where we’ve been, where we are, and the country we hope to leave for the next generation.

In this Thanksgiving Special, Stigall brings you two powerful conversations looking ahead at America’s future—technologically and politically.

First, Marc Beckman, author of Some Future Day, explains how artificial intelligence is poised to change every aspect of daily life. From jobs and national security to creativity and human identity, Beckman lays out what’s coming and how quickly it will arrive.

Then, Tom Caldwell, author of 'The Mouths of the Wicked," shares his firsthand account of January 6 2020 and why he believes the FBI and elements of the justice system have yet to face accountability. His story is raw, personal, and challenges the official narrative in ways few have heard.

A thoughtful holiday edition of the show—shaping how we think about the country’s future while we gather with family and give thanks.

Simply put, thank you for your support of this podcast. That's today's theme largely. Yes, tackling some headlines too, but by request, a few folks brought up Rush Limbaugh's tradition of reading the real story of the first Thanksgiving. Today, Stigall decided to do just that. Also, a moving call from a listener named Coleen who gave all of us something to consider this holiday season and really, all year long.

Stigall's question for the day: Who's working to solve problems and make things better versus who's simply sniping at the President and his team and their ideas for the country. This week we'll hear from the White House on everything from an obamacare fix, to A.I., potential peace deals, and more. Still, some it seems offer only complaint. Not Steve Moore who's remarkably bullish today - particularly on A.I. The President launched something called Genesis Mission yesterday and some Trump backers seem very split. As expected, a judge throws out the indictments of James Comey and Laticia James. Josh Hammer joins us to explain the justification for the judge's decision and what's likely to happen next. And the Treasury Secretary wants you to put on pants when you're flying, for Pete's sake!

As is usual, while the influencer class tells you the sky is falling Stigall explains why he sees it differently. It isn't that it's all smiles and happy talk, but it is key to understand some political perspective. The definitive interview with the FBI on the attempt on President Trump's life in Butler, PA was granted to Fox News and it was extensive. Are prices improving? How is the agricultural community dealing with the battle over beef and soybeans? Deputy Secretary of the USDA Stephen Vaden gives us his input on the markets impacting your trips to the grocery store. And our legal beagle Mark Weaver on SCOTUS weighing in on Texas and Louisiana redistricting, James Comey and Leticia James partnering to get their cases tossed out of court,

Great economic news out yesterday and of course the media is hungry to talk about anything else. From President Trump's comments to a member of the media a full week ago you're just now hearing about or his post reminding people what sedition means and the punishment for it - yes, they'd rather you talk about anything else. Luckily for this show's audience, you'll hear the truth. Col. Kurt Schlichter stops by to discuss members of Congress encouraging members of the military to go rogue, implying President Trump is issuing illegal orders and they should resist following them. E.J. Antoni explains messaging affordability and how to accelerate economic growth. Democrat Jasmine Crockett continues to show her intelligence on the House floor. It's Friday, let's have some fun!

Stigall is lamenting a scheduled meeting at the White House tomorrow with the newly elected socialist, Islamist mayor of NYC. He's calling it "narrative poker" and explains today why this could be a very bad idea if not handled just right. Are Democrats asking members of the military to defy the Secretary of War and Commander-In-Chief? It sure sounds like it. Senator Tommy Tubberville joins the show today to affirm his support for blowing up the filibuster and why it's important to him it happen soon. On the House side, the man responsible for getting votes "whipped" or coordinated and on board with the Speaker's agenda - Minnesota Congressman and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer joins the show today to discuss everything from more DOGE cuts, to impeaching judges, and more. And now that the Epstein file release has been signed by the President, the Democrats' hand on the issue has been called. Will the regret this political stunt?

With remarkable swiftness, both chambers of Congress vote to unseal all documents related to Epstein. President Trump has signaled he'll sign it right away. Let's hope so. Still, it causes Stigall to wonder why all those who moved with such urgency on this issue can't seem to accomplish much on several other issues of importance to the country. US Senator Dave McCormick joins the show to discuss the Trump tariff policy among other news items of the day. CNN's Scott Jennings makes his first stop by the show to discuss his brand new book "A Revolution of Common Sense." Another pair of activist judges try to stop Texas from redrawing their congressional boundary lines. Immigrants still love the United States more than most Democrats. And speaking of Epstein and the Democrats - they'd better be careful what they wished for as new evidence shows he and they are awfully tight.

Just yesterday alone, three unbelievable judicial rulings came down that set Stigall off for the entire first half of the show. While there is much to discuss in the news, the role of the activist judiciary in this country is outsized and must be dealt with swiftly. Yes, the House is going to vote on the Epstein files and President Trump will sign off on whatever needs to be released. That’s a good thing. And yes, there are many questions surrounding the Butler Pennsylvania attempted assassination. Stigall gets into all of that today, but reminds you that if judges aren’t dealt with first, the other issues simply won’t matter.

There seems to be a strong play for the "MAGA mantle" in suggesting President Trump is no longer "America First." Stigall lays out as clearly as he ever has today as to why there's only one MAGA leader and it's not an "influencer," or podcast host or member of Congress. It's POTUS. Are Republicans going to hang tough on Obamacare subsidies or fight for real reform now that the issue is front and center? President Trump tells Republicans to go ahead and vote to release all the Epstein files while new critics have surfaced on an FBI coverup of the attempted assassination in Butler PA. Plus RFK comes out against the wind, the Secretary of AG lowers the boom on SNAP fraud, and more women are enlisting in the military than ever before. And the issue of affordability - how a new way of thinking about money is spreading across the states and why Kevin Freeman - author of "Pirate Money" thinks there's a new way around the dollar.

The very latest in an aggressive flex in the Caribbean by the Secretary of War. What's the end goal? And President Trump has also signaled a willingness to get involved in battling those who slaughter Christians in Africa. John Hayward brings his brilliance to both issues as well as the criticism that issues like these take the focus off our domestic priorities. To that end, the Vice President hits the talk shows to make the cast the President can, in fact, walk and chew gum at the same time and is doing just that on the economy. We discuss the AI race with China today and where things stand. Trying to win the hearts and minds of the young voter is also of paramount importance to Stigall as he highlights AOC's attempt to woo them away from free markets and come over to the side of the socialists. And Congressman Sam Graves discusses the agricultural community's beef over beef and soybeans, the future of air traffic controllers and flights that have been disrupted because of the shutdown, and the looming Highway Bill coming next year in the House of Representatives. And many more headlines!

Now that the government has reopened, there are a couple of different debates that will immediately get underway. 42 million people receive SNAP benefits for basic needs. How much fraud? Turns out a lot of it and the Secretary of Agriculture is prepared to lower the boom on it in a new report next week. Stigall has some preliminary numbers. One of the greatest Christmas traditions for the Stigall family is going to see Trans Siberian Orchestra at Christmas. They're launching their tour this week and their lead guitarist and musical director Al Pitrelli stops by to talk about a huge milestone they reached this year. Secretary of State Marco Rubio makes no bones about sending naval vessels to the Caribbean to flex at Venezuela. And Congressman Scott Perry explains why now is the perfect time to have a new debate about Obamacare.

The truth is, he's dropping bombs on his own party for playing fast and loose with millions of Americans' paychecks simply to continue to prop up Obamacare. Something he says his party set up to expire at this time on purpose anyway. As Democrats throw their leader Chuck Schumer overboard, Fetterman seems to be suggesting Obamacare should go with him. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent continues to be the best explainer on President Trump's economic team, along with Stephen Miller. They've received word "affordability" is the term that's hammering them so they're going to work to better explain how we'll get there. Plus, Stigall introduces a new must have for your Christmas giving season and many more headlines today.

Don't miss it. Democrats long ago keyed in on this word and have used it to great effect. "Affordable" housing. "Affordable" health care. It's a con game of course because nothing the government runs ends up being affordable or quality. That said, Republicans and the White House do have to battle the siren song of socialism and big government in an economy in which people are struggling. Particularly young people. Today, Stigall presents his private sector idea to build bridges between generations instead of cause them to battle in class warfare. Real, affordable housing that allows young people to have a house and get out of student loan debt while those with money can earn more by investing in those younger people's aforementioned needs. Stigall will explain in full detail. Plus, it's Veteran's Day and the story of one man who blew the whistle on woke in his ranks and got punished has now returned to run the show in the Trump administration and his story has been made into a great movie called "Call Sign Courage." And our weekly chat with economist Steve Moore on president Trump's 50-year mortgage plan, his $2000 tariff checks to Americans, and his economic forecast for 2026.

That's President Trump's plan, in part - with the revenue he's taking in from tariffs. The big "if" is, of course - will the Supreme Court stop him from using them? Stigall lays out why this president's economic policies should be celebrated, not stymied. The shutdown seems to be coming to a close. The Democrats' base is more angry than ever because of it. What brought the 8 Democrats over? Will Obamacare be bailed out again? Erin Maguire walks though the politics of the fight. Stephen Colbert gives an incredible response to his role as a variety show host. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent goes to battle on the Sunday Shows once again. And President Trump becomes the first president since the 70s to attend an NFL game.
