Let's Make A Deal - China Edition

Wednesday, October 29, 2025

President Trump is steaming through Asia brokering deal after deal on trade and peace. South Korea and Japan in just the last 24 hours. On deck is a biggie - China. Gordon Chang, author of "Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America" offers insights into why this time Xi might be desperate to get a deal done this week. The hilarious Arynne Wexler stops by to discuss "influencer" culture amongst conservatives gong off the rails. Major action is happening in the DOJ to protect election integrity, major crime is being obliterated by the FBI, the Pentagon is cleaning house of lousy leaders, and ICE and Homeland Security are putting their foot to the gas pedal in decorations of illegal aliens. Plus, the Senate - with the help of a few Republicans - just made Stigall's point about the legality of President Trump's tariff policies yesterday as the debate heads to the Supreme Court.

The Walls Are Closing In

Tuesday, October 28, 2025

One by one more voices traditionally aligned with the Democrats are calling on them - maybe not by name - to sign on with Republicans to reopen the government. Jim Pfaff of the Conservative Caucus explains the politics on the Hill and how the Democrats inadvertently boxed themselves in on the Obamacare discussion. RedState.com front page contributor Bonchie returns to discuss the very uncomfortable but obvious influence of foreign money in some conservative media outlets which is now officially confirmed. Stigall urges media consumers to be aware of who's funding your favorite shows - no matter who they are. And our weekly talk with Steve Moore our chief economist. Trump is scorning some brilliant strategic trade wins in Asia - with China on deck next will he officially put China in a place they can no longer afford to refuse a trade deal? Meanwhile, tariffs at home will be debated officially before the Supreme Court on November 5th and Steve has a bold prediction about the outcome. Stigall has a different opinion.

Will New York Really Elect This Guy?

Monday, October 27, 2025

Holy cow! Democrats are going all in on an Islamist dual citizen who proudly calls himself a "socialist." Meanwhile, President Trump is leaning hard into free market trade deals and the economy is responding. Which path will work politically is anyone's guess. Power-packed panel today to respond to it all. EJ Antoni responds to the economic news that inflation, gas, and groceries continue to drop. Daniel Turner from Power the Future reminds us how we got to sky-high gas and health insurance prices in the first place. And political strategist Erin Maguire on the political future when running against committed socialists. Plus a surprising new name has entered into the government shut-down fight.

Is It All Rigged?

Friday, October 24, 2025

You've heard it over and over by now. Professional sports is rigged! Is that entirely true? Stigall turns to two industry experts after an enormous gambling ring was broken up by Kash Patel's FBI involving several former and active NBA players, a coach, and four mafia families. Dave Mason represents an online betting site and Stigall asks what is necessary to prevent this kind of cheating short of outlawing betting. Marc Farzetta is a tenured sports talk show host and Stigall asks him what the implications are for all of professional sports we enjoy watching. Plus, judges are using AI in their rulings now and getting it wrong! The government shutdown continues after Democrats say no to paying furloughed government workers in a failed vote yesterday. We talk with a former Trump Ambassador on his trade policy. How do you interact with a government the President is battling over trade deals? And open line Friday with a buffet of unusual subjects as usual.

White House Flipping

Thursday, October 23, 2025

Only severe TDS would cause you to completely misrepresent or get overly wound up about a privately funded $300 million dollar renovation to the White House, but that's what Democrats have to work with this week so they're trying to make the most of it. Of course the history of White House renovation is long and storied. Stigall gets into it. The Secretary of State launches on an 8th drug boat and President Trump makes it clear - he ain't playing with drug lords. John Hayward discusses as well as the new conservative leadership in Japan and the real upside in the Gaza peace plan. Is New Jersey about to flip red again? We talk with the New Jersey GOP about the neck and neck race between Jack Ciattarelli and Miki Sherrill. While in Virginia, MSNBC says woman haters are keeping Abigail Spanberger down. There's a problem with that theory, of course. Halloween buying is surging despite higher prices. And Rosie O'Donnell is leading a buy-cott at the end of November. Why? Stigall fills you in.

Trump the Builder - Yes He Can!

Wednesday, October 22, 2025

Today Stigall explores the hysteria surrounding Democrats claims President Trump is "destroying" the White House by adding on to it. Of course, the opposite is true. And not just the White House - the country at large. Also, this government shutdown has evolved into a discussion over Obamacare and those who get subsidies to pay for it. It's clearly a broken system in need of reform, if not total destruction. How did we get here and can it be fixed? A walk down memory lane with Economic Policy Innovation Center VP Brittany Madni. Then, not one buy two United States Senators stop by. From the great state of Wisconsin, Senator Ron Johnson joins us and from Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick. We talk the shutdown, peace in the middle east, should John Brennan be prosecuted, will Democrats successfully toss Fetterman, and much more!

A stunning amount of wealth is pouring into the streets with much more to come ahead of next years elections. That's what Seamus Bruner - Director of Research at the Government Accountability Office told us he's discovered in a deep dive of just who's behind rally's like this past Saturday's "No Kings" nonsense.

Let's Make Babies!

Friday, October 17, 2025

President Trump is not just in a race with China economically, but also in the birthrate of each nation. Yesterday, RFK Jr. announced the administration's new initiative to encourage IVF, but there are many objections from pro-life conservatives. Stigall lays it out. The Islamist candidate for mayor of New York City says in a debate last night that visiting mosques is a must if you're going to be qualified for the office. Not kidding. Meanwhile the debate for the AG race in Virgina featured the Democrat defending his private texts encouraging violence against his political rivals. An update on the shutdown, John Bolton is indicted, and Josh Hammer responds to attacks from podcasters asserting he was tacitly involved in the death of Charlie Kirk.

Thursday, October 16, 2025

Meanwhile, the very normal editor of Townhall.com and Fox News - Katie Pavlich discusses the President’s Gaza peace deal, new media restrictions at the pentagon, and more.  Plus Congressman Scott Perry unpacks the government shutdown and Stigall explains why - unless you’re in DC - you’re likely not even aware of much change in your life while Democrats hold government spending hostage.  But when will people start to notice?

What Charlie Kirk Did For Young Men

Wednesday, October 15, 2025

Stigall offers his thoughts on why Charlie Kirk was such a significant figure at such a pivotal time in our nation's history and why we all must now guard our young men and continue in that work. Not allow dark forces to compromise his legacy and turn those young activists into angry, grievance mobs. The Pentagon releases new rules for the press. Is it unconstitutional? Can states draw district boundaries based on race? And Congress continues to look at the weaponization of the DOJ by the Biden administration from spying on Republicans to surveilling J6ers and waging lawfare against Donald Trump. Don't look now, but Obama is still talking and can't stand President Trump is being heralded as a great leader across the world, so he's doing his best to lead the opposition here at home. But it's not working. Meanwhile Hamas is still very much interested in spreading terror and maintaining control of Gaza and the people there. They're publicly executing anyone they deem traitors among them. It's not a story you're hearing much but you will here, and President Trump won't play nice with Hamas for long.

Democrat Women Doing Their Worst

Friday, October 10, 2025

There are no real men inside the Democrat party. They've left their fight to the women and it's not going well. New York's Attorney General Leticia James has just been indicted for mortgage fraud. In Virginia, Abigail Spanburger gave one of the all-time worst debate performances in modern political history last night. In New Jersey, the Democrat running for governor is caught up in a military academy cheating scandal and receiving Communist Chinese donations. And you've already heard about Mrs. Potato Head Katie Porter's angry raging in California that has her own party turning on her. Meanwhile, as the shut down rolls on - President Trump and his cabinet are enjoying their work and getting it done despite it all. Historic peace deals, securing crime ridden streets, and reforming our military, economy, and health agencies are among the successes. As President Trump returns to Jerusalem this weekend to oversee the transfer of Hamas hostages and ink a peace deal, Rober Spencer joins Stigall to continue to explain to the Christian world why they're being led astray on Islam, no matter your feeling for Israel.

The Peace Deal Even Media Can't Ignore

Thursday, October 9, 2025

President Trump has announced historic gains in his 20-point plan to end the fighting in Gaza. Stigall has all the media reaction which was overwhelmingly positive because the historic nature is too big to ignore. Will it be lasting peace? What's changed? Brent Sadler - national security expert from the Heritage Foundation explains the details. Will the Supreme Court Court cost Democrats upwards of 19 House seats with a potential ruling on drawing districts? How about accepting and counting votes for two weeks after election day as the do in places like Illinois while counting alien voters in Pennsylvania. J. Christian Adams with Landmark Legal explains how pivitol SCOTUS could be in the 2026 midterms. U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt weighs in on another failed vote to reopen the government. He also reacts to the arraignment of James Comey, Arctic Frost, and the Democrat AG candidate in Virginia who's been texting physical threats about Republicans. Plus Col. Kurt Schlicter with his always candidate assessment on moving forward in the Middle East.

The Politics of Chaos

Monday, October 6, 2025

Time will tell if Democrats commitment to funding illegal aliens' health insurance and Antifa riots against cops and ICE agents in crime-ridden American cities is a winner for them. President Trump is leaning in unapologetically to securing law and order, not funding illegal alien health care, and calling out the growing assassination culture of the Democrats. Erin Maguire, Republican strategist breaks it down as the does each week on Monday's with Maguire. If you're having a hard time sorting out health insurance - with deadlines for enrollment coming up - Stigall invited his friend John Rhulman to explain what you need to know if you're on Obamacare and other pertinent information.

The Woke Smithsonian

Friday, October 3, 2025

The premier museum space in the country is the Smithsonian Institute. If you've never been or not been in a while - you may be shocked what you find inside. Washington DC -based journalist Maggie Little describes a trend in exhibits within the walls of the museums President Trump aims to tackle. It's also Government Shutdown Day 3 and with each passing hour - Democrats seem flummoxed while President Trump and Republicans hold firm. Now, federal jobs are on the line. Will that cause the Democrats to cave? It's also open line Friday which means anything goes and today - there's a growing chorus of conspiracy around Israel, Charlie Kirk's death, etc. Stigall tackled it head-on as always.

The Mexican Hat Dance Continues

Thursday, October 2, 2025

Day two of the shutdown and it's Meme-tastic! Vance and the GOP are all striking a perfect pitch in messaging while Democrats continue to flounder. It's so bad even cable news sycophants have to admit the shutdown is fully because the Democrats want to alter a clean spending bill. Plus, Victoria Coates on this 20-point peace plan Israel has presented to Hamas. The folks behind it are an interesting consortium of people you might not have heard before. We meet the new chair of the RNC to discuss their plans for a new election strategy for the midterms. Plus, from the terrible marketing department - another household brand decides it's time to "freshen up" their messaging with one of the silliest ideas yet.
