Nothing is more important to this born and raised Illinoisan working mom of three small children than the future of this great country. Annie may be a millennial, but she's far from the caricature. Proving that young people can harness attributes of self-determination, hard work, and true conservatism, Annie loves discussing the latest news and events with people of all walks of life. Don't agree? Great! Love what she's saying? Perfect! The Annie Frey Show is Younger. Smarter. Better.

OBVIOUSLY it's giving, but getting is great too. So it's obviously 'getting,' right? Or not. This is a show in which we recall the biggest stories and names from 2025, and one name stands up taller than the rest: We're not talking about Donald Trump, BTW.

In this segment we play #askmeanything or #NextQuestion while opening gifts from one another.

Most of them are getting good grades, but why does Wiggins have such a problem with CIA director John Radcliffe? That, and a Blues report almost halfway through the season from Ethan.

We also debate- legitimately- the merits of redoing a bathroom on your own versus hiring it out, and whether Annie should start and finish this project right now.

Wiggins America brings you the the most popular gifts of the year, and asks, would you want this?

On the Shawn Ryan Podcast, Hunter Biden thought Joe Biden's illegal immigration problem was a disaster for the country, and so was the Afghanistan pull-out, but we're only hearing about it now. Merry Christmas!

A match made in...Arizona! The biggest surprise guest of AmFest was Nikki Minaj's nice words about Trump and Vance, speaking directly to their character and resolve. Then a Cards-trade breakdown by Ethan.

Amidst his busy schedule, Brian Kilmeade calls in to talk through the world of select sports, and offers sage wisdom about teambuilding.

How is it possible that all mainstream economists got it wrong based on their political ideology again? Well, Steve Moore wasn't one of those errant prognosticators, and he's here to prove it.

Live from Capitol Hill, it's our favorite Capitol Hill correspondent! And what's shaking in D.C.? Nothing! Congress went home, which means we have some reminiscing to do.

Two big guests this hour; Brian Kilmeade and Steve Moore, both wrapping up the year with us on the Annie Frey Show, along with some introspection on where we're headed.

Shouldn't every country's leaders be looking out for the people of their country? Inbetween influencer slap-fights, we analyze what the right is saying about the country, and itself.

Is Vance the heir apparent to MAGA right now? And we ask what the worst gift you ever GAVE was, in our #NextQuestion segment. Yo soy Fanta.

How many games have the Blues won in Overtime this year? How much are the Cardinals spending on their new free-agent pitcher? Let's find out!

In a press conference from the White House, the President is not taking today off. Also, do you wrap last minute, staying up late on Christmas Eve or is it already done?

Did the South Pole really undercut Santa's present production this year? Did Fulton County really admit to having 315,000 illegal votes cast in the 2020 election? How about 2025 pennies being collector's items?

Trump signs an order regarding your old friend Mary Jane, and we get an update on the MIT-Brown U shooter, which ends up being the same guy.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and if you're not done shopping, this question is highly relevant to you now. One week until Christmas, and a huge show today with MO AG Catherine Hanaway in studio to talk Missouri crime, and how to stop it. Plus, IL Gov candidate Darren Bailey is in studio too, to pitch his vision for winning IL.

We have a "spirited" debate about women filling up their gas tanks, and it's Thursday, which means Tricia is here for Annie Are You Ok?

He's back in the ring for Illinois Governor. Darren Bailey is in studio to talk about winning Illinois, by the numbers.

She's the Attorney General of Missouri, and she's got a clear mission regarding the crime in St. Louis and the whole state. Catherine Hanaway is doing the work.

It's a major hour of in-studio guests, with the Missouri Attorney General and the former IL Republican candidate for governor, who's seeking the nomination in '26.

This is involving immigrant communities and domestic alike, though the Somali fraud ring out of Minnesota is the biggest to date. Hans makes the case that the assimilation model is not racist, it's an attempt at cultural imperialism from within.

Based on all the rumors, the President's speech last night didn't really do much in the way of news, but did it change any minds? Hans Von Spakovsky and Wiggins America this hour.

The results of this poll skew, surprisingly, in a hard direction. So, let's segway into healthcare with Rep. Eric Burlison, who has a plan that varies from the one the House is voting on now. And Will Chamberlain is here to talk about the crippling reality facing politicians: This isn't the same country as you grew up in, and you need to act like it.

Yes, it's here too. The murder of Jewish people for the sake of their lineage has increased at a rapid rate, as recent news shows. We also take a break to talk biopic movies, and why we won't be seeing Song Sung Blue.

We knew it at the time, but now there's the documents to prove it. So why don't Republicans start acting like they understand the stakes? Will Chamberlain is Senior Counsel at the Article 3 Project.

People in Illinois aren't able to save a lot of money, and part of the reason is the state's refusal of Federal Reforms which are affecting many red states now.

Deroy Murdock and Will Chamberlain are our guests this hour, both highlighting where we're at in America and where we go from here. In the middle, we discuss camels, and their speed.

But will the House of Representatives listen? They're beginning to, and they're taking steps in this direction now. Burlison is here on the Annie Frey Show to explain the plan, which could be part of public debate very soon.

Raphael Warnock, Georgia Democrat Senator, says no. It's a "poverty of moral imagination" which keeps Republicans locked up on this issue, whatever that means.

Is the Annie Frey Show audience on the side of the conspiracy or the widow, or is that too simple of an option? We weigh in, and talk health insurance plans with Rep. Mike Bost, because REPUBLICANS HAVE A PLAN.

We get a dose of Blues doghouse news, and then Xs and Ys with Tricia, in which we answer age-old questions about nesting, and driving too close to the steering wheel, between men and women.

Republicans have a plan to open up health insurance (health care) to more avenues of purchase, which should increase price competition. "If you have to subsidize it it's not working" says IL-12's Mike Bost.

Rep. Mike Bost is here to discuss the health plan, but we also go into it ourselves in the first segment. It's all about choice.

There are "way too many victory laps being taken here by politicians," and not enough actual police work, although that work is definitely happening. It's just unfortunate how some people are using this tragedy to get in front of the camera.

We're taking the temperature of the Annie Frey Show audience on Candace Owens, and talking about battles you Should and Should Not have with your teens.

Annie Frey, Newell Normand, and an array of GOP thought and congressional leaders spoke out about Donald Trump saying Hollyweight director Rob Reiner died from 'Trump derangement syndrome' after he was allegedly killed by his drug-addicted son. Here's what they said. Plus, Tara Servatius talks about what's really going on with James Comey.

Disgusted, Indifferent, or Agreeable? Those are your options on a day when Trump made the murder of Rob Reiner about Trump with one simple Truth Social post. We also need to know if you think the Grinch is sexier in the cartoon or the movie.

Ryan accidentally ended up in the midst of an exclusive members-only deal party at Ollie's in Granite City yesterday.

And, is the Grinch not sexy enough? That seems like a weird topic, but then again, it's a weird hour. Christmas tree cakes abound on the Annie Frey Show today.

Do you agree more with Nikki Minaj or Jon Stewart politically? That's a strange question! We talk about tribalism and whether or not the right owns Christianity, as Stewart claims.
