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.

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? -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.

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. -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.

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. -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.
