The Chris Stigall Show

It was a real privilege and honor to be asked to return to the White House the day after the State of the Union address. Stigall had the opportunity to sit with several members of President Trump‘s cabinet and officials who were happy and eager to talk up the MAGA agenda. Also, issues that may not have been on our radar. We’ve heard many complaints surrounding the concern about President Trump’s executive order pr...

Stigall gives instant reaction to last night‘s State of the Union before heading to the White House today and White House officials reaction to last night‘s events you’ll hear here tomorrow. Also, in today’s show: a 23-year-old phenom who has become a star in ACTUAL journalism. Nick Shirley, the man who broke the Somali fraud story in Minneapolis was on Capitol Hill and Stigall had a conversation with him ab...

Stigall takes calls from around the country in advance of President Trump’s state of the union address tonight. What do people want to hear this president say and what can excite voters about the GOP maintaining control of Congress this fall? Plus Steve Moore, who helped shape the president‘s economic message tonight discusses the high points and the messaging on one of the most important issues - affordability. Plus th...

Because it's all politics all the time in this era, not everyone can simply be happy for the gold medal winning men's hockey victory over Canada but President Trump and his team certainly are. And the President made a special call yesterday involving big plans for his State of the Union address. Meanwhile, Obama's former henchwoman Susan Rice said out loud on a podcast what leftists use to try to keep secret about their intentions ...

What drives the modern progressive movement — ideology, identity, or something deeper?



Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld joins Stigall to discuss The Soros Agenda and the financial and political influence shaping global activism and domestic policy.



Then we explore a provocative cultural question: the identity politics and political alignment of the modern liberal white woman. Why has this demographic shifted so dramatic...

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...
