Go Ahead. Shut It Down. It's Not A Shutdown Anyway
Stigall explores why it seems the threat of a government "shutdown" doesn't seem to have the teeth it once had. President Trump surges troops into Portland, Oregon. What happened this weekend and the Ryder Cup? Bill Maher, John Fetterman, and Charlamagne THA God offer some distinctly different commentary from the Democrat friends on everything from Trump, to Islam, and Jimmy Kimmel. As you hear the pundits decry the "unprecedented" nature of the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, Stigall thinks it's important to remind you of a few things some willfully "forget" about the history of a weaponized DOJ. And if you haven't heard, you will not believe what's going on in the Des Moines school district with their superintendent. -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.

He's Indicted And It Feels So Good
A wild open line Friday and lots of fast moving news from the Department of Justice and the Trump Oval Office. The biggest news of the last 24 hours is the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. Stigall resets the table for those who may not know every detail of the story to make it easily understood. We also learn the FBI has some 275 agents inside the January 6th 2021 rally in Washington D.C. President Trump moves to label Antifa and leftwing violence "terrorism." The economy is surging. And much more! Plus the very best analysis in the Comey indictment from Mark Weaver and Julie Kelly. -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.

Assassination Culture Is Real
Everyone knows it and everyone sees it. There is a rage bubbling on the left that seems unable to hear opposing points of view and they’ve decided to take drastic measures to silence them. Hear the rage in one young man’s voice as he argues with Megan Kelly during a Turning Point USA campus tour. The targeted shooting at a nice facility in Texas, and a rash of other violent outbursts, and just the last month leads the White House and others to wonder if designating this a terrorist movement is the next step. Dr. Oz joins Stigall in studio to discuss the flap over Tylenol, vaccines, and pregnant women and why he’s trying to save a flock of Canadian ostriches. Sounds weird, but it’s fascinating! -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.

Was Trump Sabotaged?
President Trump makes a speech before the UN and a series of events lead the White House to believe something nefarious was going on. John Hayward from breitbart.com explains the uselessness of the UN and if President Trump is changing his tune on Ukraine and Russia. An important new movie from Dinesh D’Souza uncovers the biblical prophecy of Israel and its neighbors - it’s fascinating! Stigall got a call from listener Mike today that caused an ongoing conversation about what we all listen to and to whom do we give our trust when there’s a lack of information. Kimmel returns to YV, but Dr. Michael Schwartz and Stigall remind us who’s really been the victim of censorship over the last few years. -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.

Has the Autism Code Been Cracked?
Donald Trump and his HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made some pretty bold declarations about the use of acetaminophen and vaccines in mothers and young children. Dr. Peter McCullough reacts. Jimmy Kimmel is returning to ABC which inspired a conversation about community standards and interest as governed by the FCC. And the Cackle Britches book is causing Democrats to fight amongst one another even more than before and Stigall enjoys it thoroughly. -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.

Yesterday's Memorial Was A Revival
The darkness that tried to extinguish Charlie Kirk's light - as is always the case when darkness targets Christians - only amplified it in a way no-one can really quantify. Stigall unpacks the historic event of the memorial service for the slain TPUSA founder and all who spoke including Erika Kirk, who likely made history. Billy Hallowell from CBN was there and gives reaction from inside the arena. Plus, Republican strategist Erin Maguire on President Trump's announcement today of a potential cause and cure for autism and was he taking some swipes at his Attorney General over the weekend? -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.

Church This Weekend? Be Careful.
One of Charlie Kirk's most important contributions to the national dialogue was holding pastors in the pulpit accountable for the words in the Bible. In his death, his director of TPUSA Faith and our friend Lucas Miles is warning that church leaders who felt like ignoring the news of Charlie's murder might well be a warning sign for you. Lucas joins Stigall to discuss this and the news Erika Kirk, Charlie's widow has been chosen to head the organization. President Trump's agenda could be derailed if Congress fails to act in the next months. Michael O''Neill from Landmark Legal on SCOTUS taking on the Trump tariff policies in November, among other issues. And Stigall continues to explore the critically important issue of speech and why even in the midst of emotion, remembering who's trying to control your speech versus how conservatives handle things. Naturally, not everyone agrees. -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.

Kimmel and Colbert Kaput, Not Cancelled
Let's be clear what the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel on ABC is really about. Similarly, with Colbert and the Late Show termination. The market is reacting - not the government. So be aware as the left tries to make this about voices being silenced by Trump. That's what the left does. Not conservatives. Stigall eulogizes late night comedy today. Plus, important conversations with Eric Trump as he documents his family's long history on the receiving end of legal, financial, and literal targeting in his brand new book "Under Siege: My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation." Harmeet Dhillon - now assistant Attorney General at DOJ joins the show and gives us a peek inside her work trying to reform the corrupt system and return to a baseline of justice for all. Plus, the targeting of people of faith must be front and center because it's far bigger than politics with Brad Brandon who's authored a Daily Wire piece "Why Christians and Jews are Facing a Wave of Hostility." And President Trump dazzles and deals in the UK. What's he trying to get accomplished? Patrick Hedger - Director of Policy at NetChoice.org explains. -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.

Now They Want To Discuss Free Speech?
If the times weren't so serious, you'd have to laugh at Barak Obama returning to the stage to express his concern that leftists aren't being "heard" because of Charlie Kirk's death. He's supposedly fearful the President Trump is targeting voices with whom he doesn't agree. Of course it's absurd coming from the single biggest divider and the culturally toxic rhetoric he introduced and infused into his party almost 20 years ago now. Lawfare is but one of the ways the American left has targeted speech they don't like. Christina Bobb, President Trump's attorney and author of "DEFIANT" explains in full detail all one goes through when the left targets you using attorneys. Then, the first White House Press Secretary knows being a target all too well. Sean Spicer on the state of political speech in 2025.-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.

Resist Becoming What Charlie Fought
Emotions are high and our impulses - while entirely understandable - aren't always the best reaction to moments like these. Case in point - the Attorney General's reaction to those online saying vile things in the aftermath of the horror last week involving Charlie Kirk. Also, be mindful of those who'd try to co-opt Charlie's identity and message for their own designs. Megyn Kelly has a thought on this worth hearing. Vice President JD Vance made history yesterday as he hosted the Charlie Kirk Show and you'll hear some of the most poignant moments. Reaction from Troy Miller, president of the National Religious Broadcasters Association. So how do we deal with the vile nature of those in our midst who say the very worst stuff online? Stigall and Adam Gillette from Accuracy in Media discuss. And the economy, a Fed rate cut, and high drama on the Fed board. Steve Moore discusses. -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.
