MAGA Pope? Some Say Yes. Some Say Nope.

Adult Conversations Only, Please.

One Particular Group of Voters Are Unhinged

Stunning new polling data shows two demographic groups who are not just anti-Trump, but HARD left. It's almost impossible to comprehend, actually. Mark Mitchell - head pollster at Rasmussen Reports goes over some fascinating data points related to certain voters and why much of the other polling you've been treated to is nothing more than well-funded gaslighting.

Stigall Gets Cancelled - For What?!

Listen as Stigall tells you what got him bounced from an affiliate. Also, Josh Hammer - one of our very favorite legal minds - breaks down an issue you've heard a lot about.

Are Democrats Surrendering To Trump?

Stigall posits media and popular culture almost seem as though they've just accepted there's nothing they can do to stop the Trump administration on offense.

Erin Maguire stops by with her own theory as well as why is the New York Times taking a huge swing at John Fetterman? Is the economy set to take off? It made some history last week few people re...

The Real Face of Tariffs

It's a tough thing to be a Trump supporter and know it's the right thing to do for the country, while at the same time stare down the barrel of something that might really hurt your living in the short term. Such is the case with Shane Wilson today, a model train manufacturer and seller in Tennessee who says the current showdown with China is something he supports broadly, but also something that is crippling him today financially. Stigall asks fair and pointed questions of Wilson as Americans c...

Bondi Busts Judges!

It was once a common refrain of the left - "No one is above the law." Now that two different judges have been found to have aided in harboring and hiding illegal aliens from deportation, leftists would have you believe we're living a live version of the Sound of Music.

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy joins the...

NY Times Calls for a "Civic Uprising"

No, they're not advocating violence.

The Democrat Party Insurrection

Stigall unpacks a drama nobody else has quite stitched together yet, but it's coming. The DNC foolishly joined forces with David "Boss" Hogg to become part of their party leadership.

Tony Schaffer helps us understand what each sides' objectives are and if there can be an end to this. As for China, Stigall says you shouldn't buy these st...

Is The Media Catching Up?

"Pope's Death A Relief" Says Defrocked Priest

We woke to the death of Pope Francis today so we reached out to priest whom Pope Francis defrocked in 2015 over his outspokenness on being pro life.

Katy Perry and Gayle King Are Astronauts, Got It?!

It's the first action item in the preamble to the U.S. Constitution - provide for the common defense. The Trump administration is doing just that but, man - Democrats stand opposed to all of it. From a DOJ press conference featuring Riley Gaines defending women in sports, to RFK Jr. trying to protect kids from autism, to defending victims and their families from violent illegal aliens, and even Jews on college campuses - the Democrats despise it all and stand vocally in opposition to each issue....

Democrats To the Rescue! (Of Criminals)

Just when you think you've seen and heard it all, Democrats outdo themselves and now announce a new plan for the "Maryland man" (illegal alien, alleged wife abuser and MS-13 member) held in an El Salvador prison. What does the law actually say about the citizenship status of this guy, anyway? Can the courts make the Trump administration demand another country do anything? The legal perspective from Josh Hammer in today's show. Plus, in order to save the nation, you have to save our kids. Sam Sor...

Harvard Doesn't Need Your Tax Money

It appears Harvard doesn't want to play ball with the Trump administration on ditching their harboring of antisemitism and DEI - so the administration is moving to freeze billions they receive annually from you and other American taxpayers. But that's not all. The New York Post is reporting Trump is also about to move on NPR and PBS. Stigall unpacks it all today. The president of El Salvador came to Washington and along with the impressive communications team of the Trump cabinet - absolutely de...

Paging Pam Bondi
