The Disastrous Democrats Don't Have Answers

Thursday, March 26, 2026

It is true the stories of gas prices and Iran have Americans concerned. But what is also true is Democrats inflict and reward that pain. One could make the argument Iran's strength we're battling today was because of the riches heaped on Iran during the Obama and Biden years. Once could argue the disastrous green politics of the left forcing the United States away from cheap, reliable fuel made us more vulnerable in the first place. In fact, Stigall reminds us Democrats once celebrated ever-rising gas prices. Not to mention the countless stories of them in the news just today Stigall combs through. Censorship, fraud, money laundering, attacking law enforcement, shutting down the government, and even mocking working class people - Democrats do not offer answers to any problem.

Chaos Is The Democrats’ Victory Strategy

Wednesday, March 25, 2026

Stigall pours over a Newsweek editorial written by their board admitting the gas has run out of the lies the left has been telling about immigration and customs enforcement or ICE. Now that airport lines are stretching for hours, Newsweek is frustrated President Trump is back in the driver’s seat and public perception is turning on Democrats. Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt joins the show to discuss the possibility of the Save Act passing the Senate, reopening the government, and a victory on government invasion of privacy during the Biden era. Plus the hilarious montage of Democrats’ new message: “It’s way too hard to get ID.”

All Gender Bathroom Disaster

Monday, March 23, 2026

In one of the first full embraces of all gender restrooms in public, a major city's city councilman joins Stigall today to share the shocking details of the consequences of the policy. It should come as no surprise to normal people. President Trump threatened Iran to open the Straight of Hormuz by tonight or Iran would suffer devastating blows to their energy grid. This morning, news broke that he is pulling back from that threat after announcing he has been having successful peace talks with Iran. Meanwhile, security lines at airports are backing up by hours and the offer is on the table for Democrats to take. But no surprise they won't. Hear the latest details from Capitol Hill and Real America's News reporter Neil McCabe. Plus, Stigall gives an accurate eulogy for Robert Muller.

No Leaving Town In A Shutdown

Friday, March 20, 2026

That's at least what leaders are saying on the Hill. If it takes beyond Easter, they say they won't return home until Democrats agree to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and other essential Homeland Security functions. But that's not all. The SAVE Act has made it to the Senate floor, so now what? Senator Marsha Blackburn returns to discuss it as well as her partnership with the President to begin a discussion about federal oversight of AI. Meanwhile, red state governors are fighting the good fight. Hear from Missouri's Governor Mike Kehoe on his successful push to put eliminating the state's sales tax on voter's ballots this year. To his south, Governor Sarah Sanders of Arkansas kept it classy as yet another restaurant she visited turns vicious over politics. Plus, the Japanese Prime Minister and press corps visit the White House and President Trump lands a hilarious line in response to criticism over the strike on Iran. A new film is out on April 3rd you'll likely love called "A Great Awakening." Stigall talks with the filmmaker behind the project. And plenty more to discuss on Open Line Friday!

Another Leftist Icon Falls

Thursday, March 19, 2026

His name is on hundreds of streets and schools and festivals in major cities run by Democrats all over the country. Now, they can't scrub his name fast enough after shocking new allegations have come out about his abuse of young girls and women. Oklahoma Senator James Langford joins the show to explain what he heard from Tulsi Gabbard yesterday regarding intelligence indicating Iran was an imminent threat. Also, his fellow OK Senator Markwayne Mullin had a fiery dust-up with Rand Paul. Does that spell trouble for Mullen to be confirmed as next Homeland Security Secretary? Stigall also wonders whom to trust when it comes to the Megyn and Tucker wing of the discussion as he takes a walk down memory lane and their previous positions on President Trump. And our weekly chat with Chris Wilson from Eyes Over on real-time public reaction to the SAVE Act fight, gas prices, and the war in Iran.

Fraud So Big We Could Balance the Budget!

Tuesday, March 17, 2026

White House aide Stephen Miller announced yesterday he believes the fraud uncovered in government transfer payments could be so great - if recovered it could balance the federal budget. This as Nick Shirley has now uncovered fraud in California that appears to dwarf what's been discovered in Minnesota. Steve Moore reacts. The Vice President responds to the idea there s any daylight between him and the President on efforts in Iran as two more senior Iranian leaders have been killed. But the Straight of Hormuz continues to be at a standstill and President Trump is leaning heavily on NATO nations to help secure the Straight to get oil moving to market once again. Army veteran and Director of the Center to Advance Security in America James Fitzpatrick discusses his recent case for the strike on Iran as both legal and America First. Another activist judge says Americas kids must continue with the shot schedule, or something - totally undermining RFK Jr.'s executive leadership on the issue. And the Washington Post says Chicago is stone cold broke and better act fast.

Is Cuba Next To Fall?

Monday, March 16, 2026

Reports are Cuba's dictatorship is hurting badly from the toppling of Maduro in Venezuela. So much so, they're currently in talks with the Trump administration to open their markets and perhaps more. It's a huge development and adds to a world that looks wildly different than just a year ago. Meanwhile, with the Straight of Hormuz "closed," President Trump is actively moving to secure other countries' help in escorting oil tankers through the water there without sustaining attacks. He's also working to restart offshore drilling in California waters among other things to impact oil prices as quickly as possible. New polling suggests likely voters are still firmly behind the President's decision making thus far and Democrats are still circling the drain as a party and their key advisors are issuing warnings. Plus, the former Secretary of the US Senate Kelly Johnston discusses what could become some historical events on the Senate floor this week as the SAVE Act has been promised a vote. And Col. Kurt Schlichter returns to kick of the week as only he can!

Take It To Them Or They Come For Us

Friday, March 13, 2026

It's really that simple. After 47 years, the single largest Islamist state sponsor of terror is being dealt with thanks to President Trump. And you need look no further than not one, not two, but three Islamist terror strikes right here in our country. Stigall unpacks the details and connects the dots of yesterday's strikes while most seemed to want to move on from the incidents. Important to pay attention to Virginia as early voting is underway to turn the state map in Congress permanently blue, with no more shades of purple. State Senator Bryce Reeves explains what's at stake. Secretary of Wat Pete Hegseth gives a live update on battle conditions and objectives from the Pentagon, and the SAVE Act is apparently on the move to the Senate.

Home Ownership Is White Supremacy?

Thursday, March 12, 2026

Stigall went to a black man and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson for a response to the Mamdani administration's claim in New York City. In his own soft-spoken way - he makes it clear where he stands on that claim. What's motivating the Senate Republican's inaction on the SAVE Act? Perhaps a whole lot of money you might not know about and it's impacting the proceedings on Capitol Hill. The real time insights of online sentiments regarding Iran, the economy and much more from Chris Wilson at Eyes Over. While Iran is the focus, to Israel's north is a very nasty fight with Iran's proxy Hezbollah - we get the latest insights from Yael Eckstein, the president and CEO of IFCJ. And as President Trump stumps in Kentucky - Dr. Oz becomes an accidental hero at the event!

It's Time To Take Back The Message

Wednesday, March 11, 2026

As Stigall often points out - what's reality versus what media is trying to make you feel are entirely different things. It's also true that the GOP is not on their game right now when it comes to offense. Stigall takes Senate Majority Leader John Thune to task for his unwillingness to tackle the SAVE America Act. President Trump continues to remain resolute and focused on getting the legislation across the finish line and while Democrats are historically unpopular - the Congressional Republicans aren't messaging well at all. As for the efforts in Iran, Stiagll thinks less Lyndsey Graham and more visits to the Joe Rogan media venues are the way to counter the sometimes legitimate, sometimes disingenuous criticisms of the President's efforts in Iran. Plus, our colleagues at Townhall.com go undercover to expose the radical commitment to "transitioning" minors in the public school system.

Understanding The Price of Gas

Tuesday, March 10, 2026

Two experts on the energy markets and financial markets are here to help break it down. Daniel Turner - president of Power the Future and Steve Moore our chief economist explain where they think prices are headed in the days ahead. Plus, the insdieous comments of the Islamist mayor of New York and a profile of the terrorists who tried to inflict maximum casualties at a protest this past weekend.

Terrorism Strikes New York. Not That You'd Know It.

Monday, March 9, 2026

You likely didn't notice the slight of hand pulled by the Mayor of New York this weekend. A protest in front of the Mayor's home was attacked by Islamist terrorists but the mayor made the attack appear directed at the Mayor himself and completely ignored the motivation. Stigall unpacks it. Will you be happy with an Iran totally defeated and neutered of weapons but their leadership stays the same? It's a question explored today with John Hayward from Breitbart.com as well as our weekly Republican strategy session with Erin Maguire. Stigall shared a well-written analysis of what victory truly looks like in Iran as well written by someone who's studied and taught in war college. Plus, Democrats are in a sorry shape and Bill maher makes that point to their faces.

DHS Shakeup, Minnesota Fraud Bombshells, and America’s War Posture Toward Iran

Friday, March 6, 2026

On today’s episode, Chris Stigall breaks down the latest developments surrounding Operation Epic Fury as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reaffirmed the administration’s position that the Iranian regime must face total defeat or surrender. Stigall examines what that statement signals about America’s long-term strategy in the region and whether the conflict is likely to escalate further.

Stigall also discusses the shakeup at the Department of Homeland Security, with reports that Kristi Noem is being replaced by Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, and what the move could mean for border policy and national security.

Meanwhile, new attention is turning to explosive allegations of taxpayer fraud tied to Democrats in Minnesota, and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer joins the show to outline what he says investigators are uncovering and why the scandal deserves far more national scrutiny.

RNC Chairman Joe Gruters also joins Stigall to discuss the increasingly competitive Texas Senate primary and the challenge Republicans face trying to keep unity inside the GOP tent while defending their majority heading into the fall elections.

The show also includes a preview of a conversation with television icon Kathie Lee Gifford, discussing her new book Nero & Paul. Today’s podcast features a short clip, with the full interview dropping tomorrow in a special episode.

Plus, Stigall briefly revisits Monday’s Supreme Court decision on parental notification policies in California schools, which continues to reverberate through the national debate over parental rights in education.

Explosive Fraud Testimony, RFK Jr. Takes On Starbucks, and Operation Epic Fury

Thursday, March 5, 2026

On today’s episode, Chris Stigall dives into the explosive House hearing testimony surrounding the massive Minnesota fraud scandal, where lawmakers are uncovering how hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars were siphoned through pandemic-era programs. Stigall breaks down what investigators revealed, why the scope of the fraud is staggering, and why the story hasn’t dominated national headlines.

Stigall also examines Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s escalating fight with major corporations, including a new clash with Starbucks and Dunkin’, as he pushes his agenda on food policy, corporate influence, and public health.

The show also pauses to reflect on the passing of legendary Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz, remembering his extraordinary career, leadership, and lasting impact on college football and American sports culture.

Later, Chris Wilson, CEO of Eyes Over, joins the program to discuss new real-time data measuring the “pulse of the American people” as tensions rise in the Middle East and Operation Epic Fury continues.

And U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, discusses the SAVE America Act, the latest developments in Operation Epic Fury, and what Congress is hearing about the growing conflict with Iran.

Trump’s Iran Strikes, Texas Primaries, and the Democrats’ New Playbook

Wednesday, March 4, 2026

On today’s episode, Chris Stigall breaks down the rapidly escalating conflict between the United States and Iran as President Trump authorizes continued strikes under Operation Epic Fury. Are we already in a broader war with Iran? And what would victory actually look like for the United States?

Landmark Legal Foundation’s Michael O’Neill joins Stigall to discuss the growing legal fight in Washington as Congressional Democrats move to invoke the War Powers Act of 1973 in an effort to halt Trump’s military action. Is the president acting within his constitutional authority, and what happens if Congress tries to intervene?


Later, Lt. General Keith Kellogg, former U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia, weighs in on the battlefield reality, arguing Iran is losing the fight “tremendously” while attempting to spread the conflict across the region.

Plus, Stigall reacts to today’s Pentagon briefing from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, analyzes the early results from the Texas primaries, and warns listeners about the Democrats’ evolving political strategy heading into the next election cycle.

War abroad, political maneuvering at home, and what it all means for the future of American leadership.

What Does Victory Actually Look Like?

Tuesday, March 3, 2026

So what does “winning” mean?

Today, Chris breaks down the escalating conflict with Tehran, the growing debate over “boots on the ground,” and whether America can achieve decisive victory without another endless Middle East entanglement.

Victoria Coates joins to explain the strategic landscape from a national security perspective and what President Trump’s doctrine suggests about power, deterrence, and American leverage.

Gabriel Noronha details chokehold placed on Iran during the Trump administration — and whether that model still works today.  And can true regime change happen without our physical involvement?

Steve Moore weighs in on the economic consequences of conflict and what markets, energy, and American prosperity look like if this escalates.

Is this containment? Regime change? Deterrence? Total war?

And what does winning actually mean for President Trump?

Monday, March 2, 2026
