John Doyle: The Affordability Crisis Is Becoming a Political Crisis
Aug 13, 2026 · 50 min
Affordability has become a growing political problem for younger Americans, with rising everyday costs exposing a divide over how Republicans should respond to voters who feel increasingly squeezed despite improving economic fundamentals. The fight over cheap burritos reflects a much larger debate over consumer confidence, the post-COVID economy, and whether dismissing those concerns could fracture the coalition that elected Donald Trump. The rise of socialist candidates inside the Democratic Pa…
Can Republicans pass the SAVE America Act before Congress leaves for August recess?
Aug 6, 2026 · 60 min
The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID when casting a ballot.

Senate Republicans are weighing multiple paths to pass the bill, including a talking filibuster and budget reconciliation, as lawmakers debate the political risks and procedural hurdles of each approach. The legislation has also exposed divisions within t…

Jun 25, 2026 · 53 min
Former senior Health and Human Services advisor and ICE official John Fabbricatore says the Biden administration failed to vet sponsors for unaccompanied minors, leading to over 300,000 children missing from HHS rolls, 65,000 unanswered hotline calls, thousands of trafficking allegations, and dozens of deceased children later identified.

May 28, 2026 · 33 min
Nick Freitas recently returned from the United Kingdom and shares what he witnessed on the ground.After first visiting in 1998, he saw how dramatically Britain has changed due to mass immigration over the past 25+ years.

British culture is rapidly shifting, with growing balkanization, Sharia courts, grooming gangs, and a government that has prioritized newcomers over its own citizens.

May 7, 2026 · 1 hr 4 min
As debates rage across conservative media over foreign policy, coalition building, tariffs, and the future direction of the Right, the real question becomes whether the movement can stay focused on governing instead of turning inward.

Mollie Hemingway: The Rise of Justice Alito—and Why the Left Targets Him
Apr 30, 2026 · 1 hr 8 min
The chaos surrounding the Kavanaugh confirmation didn’t just shake Washington—it revealed how far the Left was willing to go to pressure the Supreme Court. Mollie Hemingway, author of “Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution,” explains how that push reshaped the conservative legal movement and helped elevate Justice Samuel Alito as a defining voice on the bench. From behind-the-scenes tensions to major dissents, this conversation uncovers why Alito’s influ…

Apr 23, 2026 · 36 min
In the past few weeks, Rep. Greg Steube was leading the charge to bring to the House floor a vote to expel now-former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. Minutes before Steube was set to join the “Signal Sitdown” — and the same day the Ethics Committee was expected to render a recommendation to the House on whether to expel the Florida congresswoman over fraud allegations — Cherfilus-McCormick announced she was resigning her seat in Congress, effective immediately. On this episode of the “Signal Si…
What Democrats Will Do if the SAVE Act Fails | Brandon Gill
Mar 26, 2026 · 33 min
Congress could be heading for another One Big Beautiful Bill. Congressional Republicans are facing a double-bind of a lingering shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security and the urgent need to pass the SAVE America Act, an election integrity bill that would require proof of citizenship to vote and implement nationwide voter ID, before November’s midterm elections. Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, joined “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss where the rapidly-evolving GOP strategy to end the shutdown…

A Radical Plan to Save Detroit and Restoring the Rust Belt | Rodney Lockwood
Mar 5, 2026 · 45 min
Detroit has become the poster child of American decline and for good reason: No city in what is now known as the Rust Belt experienced such soaring highs and such abysmal lows. In the 1950s, Detroit was the wealthiest city in America. By 2014, just one year after the city declared bankruptcy, Detroit was considered the poorest city in America. Detroit is starting to show signs of comeback by courting large investments from some of the companies who brought Detroit to its zenith, such as the Ford…
The Critical Role JD Vance Plays on the American Right | Frank DeVito
Feb 27, 2026 · 1 hr 1 min
Vice President JD Vance’s life has taken him from the hollowed out town of Middletown, Ohio to the halls of power. Between his challenging upbringing, his service in the Marine Corps, his stint in Silicon Valley, his Senate tenure, and now his vice presidency, it’s easy to lose sight of the two short days leading up to President Donald Trump picking Vance as his running mate. Reflect on those two days in the middle of July and you’ll see the distillation of a long career arc for such a young man…

Last week, Jeremy Carl, President Donald Trump’s nominee for assistant secretary of the Bureau of International Organization Affairs at the Department of State, testified on his nomination in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Feb 12, 2026 · 44 min
It’s been five weeks since the U.S. removed former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro from power. But the question on everyone's mind is what comes next now that Maduro is no longer in power.

Pigott explained the administration's phased approach to Venezuela. "First, the stability of Venezuela. Second, the recovery, where you might…
To End Minnesota Chaos, Cut Off the Funding | Rep. Beth Van Duyne
Feb 5, 2026 · 57 min
Minnesota has been on fire for weeks, but this is nothing new for the city of Minneapolis. The last time the city saw organized protests and violent riots at this level was in 2021 during the George Floyd riots. “They [rioters] are so anxious to distract from what is actually happening in Minnesota, all the massive fraud that’s going on,” Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, told The Daily Signal on the latest episode of “The Signal Sitdown.” The fraud, originally uncovered in Minnesota, is now being d…
Culture War Plot Twist: Conservatives Are Actually Winning | Terry Schilling
Jan 29, 2026 · 51 min
Poll after poll shows a growing majority of Americans are against transgender issues and policies, from men in women’s sports to men in women’s bathrooms. Some of these issues are now 80-20 issues. It’s a remarkable feat, and it also makes one wonder how the conservative movement has had such resounding success against transgenderism when it resoundingly lost a very similar battle, the battle to defend traditional marriage. Terry Schilling, the president of the American Principles Project, has b…
How the American Dream of Homeownership Became Unaffordable | Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-N.C.
Jan 22, 2026 · 47 min
America has hit another record, but it’s not a good one. Last year, the median age of the first-time home buyer in America hit 40 years old. In the 1980s, the average age of the first-time homebuyer in America was just 28. What happened? Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-N.C., joins us this week on “The Signal Sitdown” to explain how multi-billion-dollar institutional investors like BlackRock are crowding out younger families from buying homes. “The longer that you delay somebody from getting into that first…

Antifa Bombed His Office for Being Christian and Conservative | Steve Marshall
Jan 8, 2026 · 40 min
The George Floyd riots in 2020 brought a dark undercurrent of violence on the Left to the forefront of American politics. The violence had its epicenters in progressive cities, but it was very much national—thousands of arrests occurred at hundreds of violent demonstrations in what became the largest civil-unrest-related insurance event in American history. Many of America’s political leaders cowered in the face of this mass hysteria and made commitments to defund the police or ‘reimagine’ law e…

Dec 18, 2025 · 1 hr 12 min
One evening, Josh Williams sat on the edge of his bed, gun in hand, and contemplated ending his life. “I was in a pit of despair that I can’t describe to you,” Williams said in his interview on “The Signal Sitdown.” After hearing some terrible news from doctors regarding a traumatic workplace injury, Williams had told his then-wife to take the kids to the store. “I sat on the edge of my bed with my gun, and I was ready to kill myself. And I wrote out my suicide note.” William’s three-year-old so…
GOP Congressman Exposes Practice That Makes Congress 'Crooked As a Dog's Leg' | Tim Burchett
Dec 11, 2025 · 25 min
The worst thing that has ever happened to the Capitol Building? “Air conditioning,” says Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn. Burchett joined ”The Signal Sitdown” at the Republican Study Committee's new media row to discuss how a group he calls the “war pimps” came to dominate Washington—and what he’s doing to try to stop them. Installing air conditioning in the Capitol, Burchett said, gave members of Congress the wrong impression: “These guys think they need to be year round,” he said, “I do more work wh…
Will the US Go to War in Venezuela? | Kingsley Wilson
Dec 4, 2025 · 27 min
The question top of mind in Washington, D.C. right now is what is the United States trying to get out of ongoing operations in Venezuela? Very rarely is it the case that the question occupying minds on Capitol Hill and in think tanks is the same question everyday Americans are asking. But what’s happening between America and Venezuela right now is a rare exception. A recent CBS/YouGov poll found that 76% of Americans believe the administration needs to explain its position on the use of military…
‘Congress Is Irredeemable:’ Why I’m Running for South Carolina Governor | Rep. Ralph Norman
Nov 27, 2025 · 55 min
The 2026 midterms are shaping up to be one of the most consequential midterm elections in modern American history. In November 2024, the American people gave Republicans the trifecta—the White House, the Senate, and the House—a mandate victory that some conservatives did not think possible. Democrats were already expected to have the advantage heading into the 2026 midterms, but impressive Democrat wins in off-year elections just one year after their thorough electoral embarrassment has cemented…

He joins “The Signal Sitdown” to discuss what comes next in the fight for the release of the Epstein files. S…
What Trump Is Doing to End the Slaughter of Christians in Nigeria | Rep. Riley Moore
Nov 13, 2025 · 45 min
The horrific slaughter of Christians in Nigeria has caught the attention of President Donald Trump and the United States government. Trump has tapped Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.V., to provide a report about the situation unfolding in Nigeria, where estimates place the number of slaughtered Christians well over 50,000 since 2009, with more than 7,000 of these deaths having occurred in 2025 alone.
