Is chaos accidental — or is it political strategy?



Brent Dusing, founder and CEO of TruPlay, joins Stigall to discuss building culture through entertainment and why storytelling matters more than ever.



Then we take on the bigger picture: from the Obama years to COVID to the era of Trump 47, how has the political left used crisis, lawfare, and institutional pressure to win elections and silence opposition? This is a candid look at the mechanics of modern political power — and how conservatives respond.



Clear eyes. No illusions.

Gen Z is dating less, marrying later — or not at all — and reporting record levels of loneliness.



Delano Squires of the Heritage Foundation joins Stigall to unpack new data showing a real dating drought among young Americans. What’s driving it — technology, economics, cultural messaging, fear of commitment? And after National Marriage Week, why does promoting marriage now feel almost controversial?



Then — Stigall connects the dots in a broader monologue: from Venezuela to Greenland, global monetary strategy is proving something critical — leverage is freedom. Nations that control their resources and currency hold power. Those that don’t, don’t.



From family formation to foreign policy, the theme is the same: stability and strength require structure, not chaos.

If you didn’t see it, it’s worth watching in its entirety. Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave a speech for the ages this weekend. Equally powerful but different in tone from VP Vance’s performance last year in the same venue. Together, they are but two of a deep bench of GOP stars to celebrate for the future – but it’s not without its sniping inside the tent. Stigall tackles some of that today. meanwhile AOC is inexplicably in attendance as well and makes a first class donkey of herself. DOJ is suing multiple states for their refusal to clean up their voter roles. Georgia is one of them. Meet the state senator who knows where the “bodies are buried” in the voter fraud scandal in the Peach State. And lots of new information to be learned in the last few days surrounding the Epstein story. But what we’ve learned isn’t exactly smoking gun evidence as much as its character defining. Political alliances are certainly shattered. Political strategist Erin Maguire joins Stigall to unpack how talking about the Epstein case as a candidate for the fall matters and why all of us need to be very specific in the language we use to discuss it.

It was almost without peer the single most authoritarian and capricious executive action ever taken against our economy. The Obama era “Endangerment Rule” was rolled back by President Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin and predictably all the right heads exploded. Daniel Turner from Power the Future explains what it was and why it must never be allowed to return. This also gives Stigall the chance to revisit what you’ve likely heard before. “Trump’s a fascist! Trump’s an authoritarian!” It’s worth remembering words matter and so do resumes. You’ll want to hear this one to arm yourself the next time you hear those charges. Speaking of Obama, don’t look now but his top White House attorney was VERY VERY cozy with ol’ Jeffery Epstein. So much so she’s just stepped down from her current job. The AG of Minnesota gets raked over the coals in the Senate. And as usual, the Democrats are WAY too left leaning for the American pubic. The new polls are in. Speaking of polls – they’re mostly dead. It’s about tracking real time moods online now. One of the early adopters of the technology explains how the game has changed in political messaging and public sentiment measuring.

The truth of the matter is, the country is nuts about true-crime dramas and Stigall contends that’s what the media is subjecting us to as opposed to ACTUAL scandal and success in Washington and beyond. Stigall calls in one of his favorite legal minds today to discuss the public food fight between Democrats and AG Pam Bondi yesterday. Mark Weaver is a prosecutor – of sex crimes, as a matter of fact. So what’s REAL versus fiction in the Epstein story? Today unpacks it from an unemotional and sincere question-filled point of view. Have you heard about TrumpRX.com? May prescriptions are coming down in price thanks to the negotiations of President Trump, RFK Jr, and some pharmaceutical companies. Hear how it will impact you. Plus, Treasury’s Joe Lavorgna return to discuss new jobs, cheaper mortgages and rents, Trump accounts, and will tax season change American’s economic mood?

If there’s anything you can take from the story of Nancy Gutherie’s disappearance, it’s what we’ve learned about those doorbell cameras. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and his family had lunch with Jefferey Epstein in 2012. Stigall and Eddie discuss how we’re to feel about anyone who associated with Epstein after his crimes came to light. One thing even legacy media has to acknowledge – that does NOT include President Trump. How many of us are missing the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris era? Yeah, that’s the point. And it’s a tell. Stigall explores the lack of romance for the past means things aren’t what you’re being told today. Why aren’t conservatives as perpetually roiled as Democrats? It’s their secret sauce to victory. Guy Ciarrocchi on “How Democrats Have Mastered Modern Elections.” And Oklahoma Senator James Langford says he’s on board to pass the SAVE Act.

Stigall talks with Steve Moore of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity about the new high the market has reached even though young people continue to perceive they’re unable to make it. One study tells us why that might be. Plus, Republicans are planning another convention – this time for the midterms? It’s never been done before but they’re outraging Democrats dramatically – the RNC explains the blueprint for their November campaign to Stigall. A big fight is almost settled in the Texas Senate primary. One of the candidates, Congressman Wesley Hunt (TX-38) stops by to discuss everything from Bad Bunny to bad Republicans. And it’s official, President Trump has done more to out the Epstein story and punish the wrongdoers than anyone else – including the loudest voices gaslighting about it today.

Yes, there’s much banter about the Super Bowl halftime show and the controversy surrounding the artist hired to perform. But it’s really a discussion far bigger than the performance itself. Stigall breaks down his reaction to what the show really means and the litmus test it’s taken on politically. Will we see the SAVE Act make its way through Congress? Will Republicans in the Senate blow up the filibuster rule to get it done? Erin Maguire – Republican strategist weighs in on the likelihood. Stigall also credits Matt Walsh with an observation related to the Epstein story that just seems so obvious he’s disappointed he didn’t think of it himself. And the Executive Producer of the show – Fast Eddie – has returned from Vegas with his review of the Backstreet Boys (also prominently featured in the Super Bowl this year) – at the Sphere.

Nothing puts Stigall in a better mood than watching the Treasury Secretary dress down his haters. Today – he squares off with Elizabeth Warren and it’s fantastic! As the hunt for Savannah Gutherie’s mother continues, there’s a point to be made as it relates to federal help from President Trump worth acknowledging. Josh Hammer joins Stigall for a conversation on the demonstrably better situation we find ourselves in as a county than a year ago. Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders discusses everything from Tim Walz, to school choice, and her pick for the Super Bowl. And you’ll continue to hear no tears shed over the Washington Post layoffs on this show. Happy Friday!

It’s such an important lesson for anyone in communications or media – especially because it’s more competitive than ever before to stand out. If you’re not someone people can trust, and if you’re not someone who appears to be bringing information to light in a good faith way – the consumer will abandon you. Enter the story of the venerable Washington Post whose own boss admitted yesterday – the game is up and laid off hundreds. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent goes to war on Capital Hill with small-brained members of the House who didn’t care for being shown up. President Trump backs off in Minneapolis. Major medial associations are bailing on gender butchery. Trump’s tariff policies continue to show big results on the international stage. Fulton County Georgia sure seems defensive about the FBI investigating their 2020 ballots. And meet the group committed to ending woke medicine.

Stigall talks with the First Lady’s senior advisor today on the success of her new documentary “Melania” and it’s not just online reviews. It’s a huge revenue story. Much like the polling on voter ID and support for legal immigration – there’s what you hear and what real Americans actually feel and how they act. Continued confirmation in today’s show – you’re not crazy. The media is in the midst of a massive gaslighting operation. But that doesn’t mean justice is being served at the speed Trump voters expect. Stigall explores that in more detail today. From the fraud in Minnesota, to the attempts on the President’s life, the murder of Charlie Kirk, the Epstein case – Trump voters want action. Meanwhile, is the Senate GOP slow walking common sense on voter ID and citizenship requirements for voting? And the college kids funding and coordinating the doxxing of federal agents enforcing law covered by Campus Reform.

There’s a story with which all media is very consumed today. It’s sad, yes. Stigall hopes it ends well. But the way it’s being discussed, who might well be involved, and the coverage of it all really made Stigall hot and he spends some time unpacking a truth in it that he’ll warn you – isn’t comfortable to discuss but likely what you’re thinking. JD Vance unloads on anti-ICE Democrats. Treasury Secretary Bessent announces a brilliant new objective for national security here at home. Are the Clintons about to testify on Epstein and why the newly released stuff is not at all what most Trump critics continue to wish. Polling for Democrats continues to be brutal and money raised by the GOP is huge. -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/StigallShow
