The Myth of Renee Good
Stigall's friend Jack Cashill dives deep into the background of the woman killed after attempting to run over an ICE officer. Her background is checkered, and not at all what you've heard. And the playbook to make her a martyr of the American left is one you've seen and heard before but you might have forgotten. Today's show will stoke your memory. Why are beef prices so high? Whole milk is back in fashion. MAHA is on the move and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins joins the show to discuss these things and much more. President Trump is pushing affordability on multiple fronts, but it's going to take Congress to act. Will they? And our West Coast correspondent West Coast Willie Nelson takes to the streets of Huntington Beach, California to speak to all white, left-wing protesters angry with ICE. -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.

ICE Isn't The Villain
Try as they might - and they're giving it all they've got - the legacy media and American left want desperately to make you pay more attention to their made up tales of woe regarding federal law enforcement defending themselves from protestors and criminals than the billions of tax dollars being stolen from under our noses. These thieves are trying to distract from the real story and Stigall's having none of it. US Senator Marsha Blackburn on her introduction of the Fraud Accountability Act and the Federal Reserve cost overruns. And are we close to some kind of military action with Iran? President Trump seems to have calmed it down for now, but airspace over the country is still clear and Iran's leadership is anything but. John Hayward brings his brilliance to the table and discusses the future with Venezuela and Greenland. - 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/StigallShow See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Democrats Need A "Good" Distraction
And they think they have it in the story of Renee Good. But Stigall has a stack of stories today - including an internal warning for democrats from the "Third Way" pollsters who say - yet again - attacking ICE is barking up the wrong tree. Meanwhile, the rampant fraud in Minnesota is the real story and here to sound the alarm is the Majority Whip and MN-6 Rep, Tom Emmer who explains what's happening in his home state now that President Trump, the Treasury, and ICE are all camped out in his back yard. One of the more ridiculous moments in American history will no doubt be noted yesterday as the Supreme Court presented to entertain gender as something we can make up as we go. Not surprisingly, Justice What Is A Woman came to the table with her Orwellian language nonsense Stigall says we must fight with our last breath. And President Trump says he wants to cap credit card interest rates. Good idea? Can he also make housing prices fall without hurting current home owners? Tricky. Heritage economist E.J. Antoni takes a stab at threading that needle. - 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.

The Art Of Leverage
The left will never understand it and as for many traditional Republicans - they don't seem to have a taste for it. They call it "bullying," or ugly. President Trump understands leverage better than any president in modern American history and he's wielding it. From Venezuela, to Greenland and Iran to Cuba - Stigall explains why understanding Trump's endgame is the key to understanding what many are hyperventilating over now. Also, don't look now but gas prices have fallen for the seventh straight week. Mortgage rates have fallen below 6%. The DOJ is coming at Fed Chair Jerome Powell regarding cost overruns at the Federal Reserve building in D.C. - is this a legit legal concern or a policy fight turned personal? Steve Moore joins to give his perspective on it all. Plus Trump political advisor Tim Murtaugh on the House races in 2026 including Gavin Newsome's future in California and Carrie Sevarino from the Judicial Network breaks down key cases before SCOTUS including men in women's sports which gets underway today. -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.

The Palisades Fire: One Year Later
Stigall spoke with Salem News Channel correspondent Wille Nelson as he attended a surprisingly pro-MAGA crowd gathered to call attention to the devastation that swallowed Southern California one year ago last week.Not much has been accomplished since then. Hear directly from some of the protestors. As you might know, our friend and sponsor Dr. Ashley Lucas has her own health and nutrition show. Stigall gets her reaction to the new MAHA food pyramid turned upside down last week and why are we hearing so much more about allergies and illness linked to food? Plus, it’s one of those stories that was right there to be told and James Bradley decided he’d be the one to tell it. The author of the best selling books “Fly Boys” and "Flags of Our Fathers” tells the story of those men memorialized forever in the iconic photo who raised the American Flag on Iwo Jima. His latest book is “Precious Freedom." -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.

VP Vance Nukes The Press
Stigall's theme of kamikaze leftists unfolded upfront of a national audience yesterday as VP Vance was sent out to the press corps to discuss the ICE involved shooting in Minneapolis. Vance brilliantly lays out the history of the woman who lost her life as well as flawlessly defines the work being done by federal law enforcement to protect national laws and sovereignty. But also, Vance - along with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent went out as a united front to keep the pressure and focus on what matters most - the fraud and abuse of taxpayers in places like Minneapolis. It's the story Democrats desperately want to get away from and the White House won't let them. Plus, did President Trump just flirt with action in Mexico? His new aggressive moves on mortgages and student loans. And don't look now, but the experts are "shocked" at the growth of the economy. Stigall's not. What's been accomplished in a year is spectacular and it's all laid out in today's episode. -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.

The Kamikaze Left
Much of your legacy media is discussing the events of the last day in Minnesota. But not the story out of Minnesota they should be telling. They're talking about an activist killed in her car by an ICE agent. What they hope to not want to discuss is 24 hours prior their state's governor dropped out of politics over a huge, multi-billion dollar taxpayer money theft by illegal aliens and foreign governments. Stigall ties the stories together to give you what he calls "the kamikaze liberal." And it's not just money fraud, it's voter fraud, too. Scott Pressler from Early Vote Action is encouraging everyone to dial up their senator and demand action on the SAVE act. Dr. Micael Schwarz stops by to react to the vastly scaled down version of the child vax schedule for kids courtesy of RFK Jr. And from Venezuela, to Russia, and from China to Greenland - Dr. Sebastian Gorka returns to the show to explain why President Trump's foreign policy is not simply fast, but visionary and unapologetic. -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.

The Don-roe Doctrine
If you're not familiar with the Monroe Doctrine, Stigall gives a brief history lesson then explains why President Trump's "Don-roe Doctrine" is critically important for the new era in an increasingly shrinking world in a race for supremacy. Daniel Turner from Power the Future on why 30-50 billion barrels of oil from Venezuela and access to pumping more out of their ground using American companies is critical. And all that talk about buying or invading Greenland? It actually has a very serious purpose - one few understand or discuss but one we must deal with now. The fraud in Minnesota is breathtaking, and Josh Hammer is here to discuss it plus the legality of arresting Maduro and tryin him in a New York court while France jails critics of the the Prime Minister's wife. Plus - Trump's not lost a bit of his support, a new ridiculous McDonalds lawsuit, Hilton Hotels in the crosshairs of DHS, U-haul tells us the states people are fleeing and moving to, and for an economy said to be soft - people sure are shopping! -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.

Is Iran The Next To Fall?
Don't look now but the people of Iran may well be the next country's population to see a dictator deposed. Stigall welcomes Alireza Jafarzadeh of the National Council of Resistance of Iran and author of "The Iran Threat." Today is also what Julie Kelly calls "Fed-surrection" day. Jack Smith testified last week and we're not hearing a lot. Julie is all over it. There's a big primary battle in Texas for Senate and Wesley Hunt who represents the 38th District in the House wants that seat in the Senate. He and Stigall discuss the military strategy of last weekend in Venezuela and what he sees Congress accomplishing in 2026. Plus Steve Moore on why Venezuela and its economy is an entirely different structure than discussions of Iraq or Afghanistan and why so many other countries seem to be turning around their economic fortunes. - 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.

The FAFO Show
Wow! That's all Stigall can say about the surgical strike in Venezuela over the weekend. Social media followers and Harrumphers got to hear a bit of his thoughts over the weekend, but today he dives deep with a fantastic slate of guests to unpack the specifics from a military and diplomatic perspective. And yes, the politics of it, too. Brietbart's National Security Editor John Hayward and former Trump Deputy National Security Advisor Victoria Coates explain the why and the what's next for not only Venezuela - but the larger global stage including Iran that's looking precarious at best. Monday's with Maguire returns with the politics of the move that has some Republicans claiming this is not an America First move. And former veteran now Senator Dave McCormick experienced first hand his own participation in an operation similar to this one back in 1989. Suffice it to say, the politics of the day were far different and the Democrats were, too. More on the Minnesota scandal that has Tim Walz bowing out of the governor's race and Stigall opens up on some time around the house during vacation and what is specifically special about today. -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.
