    Recorded live from the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, Chris Stigall speaks with Debbie Kraulidis, Vice President of Moms for America and host of The Mom View, about the organization's growing influence in the Trump administration. Moms for America has received dozens of White House invitations, including rare access to Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who credited moms for Trump's victory. Debbie shares stories of everyday moms being called to the White House for events on topics like Trump accounts for newborns and autism investigations, plus the launch of The Mom View show.

    Chris also talks with Billy Hallowell, CBN investigative journalist and new Lion correspondent, about his upcoming documentary Investigating the Supernatural: Angels & Demons. Billy discusses real stories of spiritual encounters, expert insights from psychiatrists and theologians, rising reports of deliverance needs, and the cultural moment of increased interest in faith amid chaos and confusion.

  • Trump Slashes Drug Costs, SAVE Act Advances, Trans Violence Pattern Emerges
    Feb 13 2026

    In this week's edition of The Lion Week in Review, Chris Stigall and Dr. Josh Mann break down the top stories shaping culture, policy, and faith. They highlight the White House launch of TrumpRx.gov, a new platform delivering lower prescription drug prices through most-favored-nation deals with pharmaceutical companies—bringing U.S. costs in line with global rates and marking a major win for American patients.

    The discussion turns to a tragic mass shooting in British Columbia by an 18-year-old transgender individual, examining patterns of mental health struggles and gender dysphoria in recent violent incidents, while noting a shift toward common-sense medical views on youth transitions.

    They also cover the SAVE Act's momentum after House passage, requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration and ID at the polls—a broadly popular measure now headed to the Senate. Plus, insights on economic indicators, Ford's EV losses, and National Marriage Week amid reports of a "dating recession." It's a straightforward look at the week's biggest issues from a principled perspective.

  • Jumpstarting America's Future with Trump Accounts
    Jan 30 2026

    Chris Stigall reports live from Washington, D.C., on President Trump's launch of Trump Accounts—a transformative program providing $1,000 seed investment accounts for newborns starting in 2026, with families and employers able to contribute up to $5,000 annually in tax-advantaged savings. Harnessing compound interest and stock market growth, these accounts could build six-figure sums by age 18 and potentially millions by retirement, fostering financial literacy, ownership in capitalism, and generational wealth.

    Chris interviews Treasury Chief Counsel Joe Lavorgna on the program's mechanics, employer contributions, access at 18 for major life steps like homeownership or education, and its role in democratizing capitalism while countering anti-free-market narratives. Senator Ted Cruz highlights the accounts' inclusion in the Working Families Tax Cut, their synergy with school choice provisions, and the potential to create a new generation of young capitalists invested in economic success.

    Kevin O'Leary ("Mr. Wonderful" from Shark Tank) praises the bipartisan appeal, early financial education benefits, and efficiency in addressing retirement shortfalls compared to traditional systems. Senator Marsha Blackburn explains practical steps for families via IRS Form 4547, the free-market messaging, and ties to broader fiscal priorities amid debates over government funding and DHS.

    A Faith and Freedom 250 segment underscores Christian education's vital role in uniting faith, reason, and moral truth to equip young people for purposeful lives amid cultural confusion.
