Chris Stigall delivers special Washington, D.C. interviews with key Trump administration figures. OMB Director Russell Vought details aggressive bureaucracy cuts—$17B below Biden levels, USAID shutdown made permanent, DOGE-like efforts, AI for oversight, and targeting woke/weaponized programs. Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair discusses policy execution, action-oriented leadership, affordability progress (wages up, inflation down, gas lower), and midterm framing as finishing the job against Democratic failures. Congresswoman Erin Houchin updates on the RESET Act for social media age limits (pushing 16+), counters Democratic attacks on voter ID/SAVE Act as insincere, and pitches GOP wins: safer, more prosperous America under Trump. The episode closes with "Faith and Freedom 250," honoring post-9/11 unity in prayer and national resolve.
