So Much for "ICE Out"
The weekend was supposed to feature mass walkouts on business and commerce. Instead, the new documentary "Melania" banked a huge number at the box office. It certainly doesn't stop the protesting, but it speaks to how "real" it is. US Senator Eric Schmitt joins the show to discuss the likelihood of the SAVE Act being passed through the Congress as well the investigation into ballot fraud in Fulton County, Georgia. As for young voters like Gen Z, James Owen - founder and president of Reawaken USA shares his insights on how the "influencer" movement views today's politics.

Mr. Wonderful Speaks! Don Lemon Arrested!
Quite a Friday! News breaks former CNN journalist Don Lemon has been arrested during today's show. Stigall speaks one on one to Mr. Wonderful Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank fame about Trump Accounts and why even his friend Mark Cuban can't find fault with it. Speaking of Cuban - President Trump puts the squeeze on Cuba by cutting off their oil supply from Venezuela then tariffing anyone else who sells Cuba oil. Once again, the Donroe Doctrine is at work and reordering order in the Western Hemisphere without firing a single shot. Stigall explains today. It's also school choice week and we celebrate with a brilliant new online alternative working with A.I. called Optima Academy. Meet their founder and CEO. The fake show in Minneapolis is starting to unravel and President Trump calls it out as does Joe Rogan.

Should We Stay Or Should We Go?
Stigall once again brings a healthy dose of truth and a reminder of where we were just one year ago on the issue of immigration in this country with the help of CNN. Yes, CNN. President Trump picked up the phone to call Tim Walz yesterday. He's changing leadership on the ground in Minnesota as well. Is that the right call?

Kash Patel also says he's committed to continue cracking down on the domestic extremism targeting law enforcement and media through the Sygnal app. Karoline Levitt reminds the press of an uncomfortable fact during the Obama era as it relates to immigration enforcement.

FAFO A No-Go For NATO
He did it without a single shot fired or deployment of a single military vehicle. Donald Trump secured an agreement with NATO on Greenland to guarantee its protection while guaranteeing the United States has access to their resources underground. Of course this is always what it was about and despite European chest-thumping to the contrary, President Trump got his wish. "Street Tough" Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and President Trump absolutely pantsed the elite on stage in Davos yesterday. You'll hear it today. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill - the political hack, and former federal prosecutor Jack Smith will be testifying once again today and the man with the best summary of the charges against him and the questions that demand answers come from John Soloman and Just The News. Stigall asks one of the best investigative reporters in Washington what's the first, most important question he'd ask in these hearings today. Plus, how does he think AG Bondi is doing in terms of accountability? Big Joe Bastardi from Weatherbell.com joins the show to discuss the predicted snow/ice/cold event set to sweep much of the country this weekend.

Donald Does Davos
Men among boys. Team Trump arrives for the global confab known as the World Economic Forum and all the skinny, tight suited liberal global leaders are taking their shots and thumping their chests ahead of President Trump touching down and reminding them all who's still boss. Congressman Scott Perry visits to discuss everything from acquiring Greenland to holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt over their refusal to testify in the Epstein case. One year later, the President goes over a list of accomplishments in a two-hour press conference. How does Daniel Turner of Power the Further think he's done on energy? Did you hear who's thrown her hat in the ring to run for the Senate in Minnesota? Plus the DOJ drops some subpoenas on the Democrat leaders in the state. What's next? Hot Air manager Ed Morrissey 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.

Lemon Gets Squeezed By DOJ
Stigall went right to the Department of Justice on one of the biggest stories of the year, as far as he's concerned. Don Lemon and his goons storming a church service is a line all Americans of faith should demand not be crossed. Alina Habba, senior advisor at DOJ joins the show to discuss what charges could come and what churches and places of worship need to know when it comes to their rights. Also, let's be honest about who these protestors are. As a small group of black politicians try to make you think this is some kind of civil rights story, Stigall is convinced no one of color who's a legal American citizen cares even a little bit about ICE doing their jobs. An important profile of just who we're seeing in the streets has emerged and you'll hear about them in today's show. This show - like yesterday's - is critical for understanding just who and what this inorganic street theater is really all about and who's participating. -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.
