The Chris Stigall Show

Two decades after An Inconvenient Truth, what predictions held up — and what didn’t?



Steve Milloy joins Stigall to revisit the climate narrative that reshaped politics, policy, and public fear. What was science, what was spin, and what does the data actually say today?



Plus — the Super Bowl spectacle, Bad Bunny, and the cultural messaging embedded in America’s biggest entertainment moments....

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? Th...

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?

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 att...

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 ...

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 ...

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...

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 campaig...

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...

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...

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. Tre...

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. ...

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 brillia...

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 vote...

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 ...

It's a brilliant idea hatched by the Trump administration and yesterday Stigall travelled to Washington D.C. to cover the formal launch of "Trump Accounts" - $1000 for all babies born 2025-2028, and can partially benefit any child today up to age 18. At a time socialism is on the rise and American birthrates are on the decline - this is a superb way to counter the trends. Hear how it works with Senior Counselor to the Treasury Secr...

Stigall was called away to DC for an event with President Trump full details Thursday. Today, enjoy conversations with chief economist Steve Moore and a special discussion with President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, and host of the podcast “The Briefing” Dr. Albert Mohler. How do Christians discuss immigration with those who suggest ICE is contrary to the teachings of the faith o...

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? Plus Pam Bondi continues to look under the hood at the mass voter fraud in Minnesota and the screaming from De...

Fired up and ready to go - that's Stigall today. After a weekend of social media consumption he's seen all he needs to remind you what's real and what's not. If you don't want stone cold truth about what's happening in Minneapolis and the coverage of events - you'll want to skip today's show. It's not a show for social media crying or careful political consideration. Erin Maguire - Republican strategist also joins the show and disp...
