The extracted claim matches the post, which said the 1776 Club gives away $1,776 once a week. Sources from June through October 2026 describe a weekly $1,776 prize tied to the show's live chat, and the contest's rules text was still running on 2026-10-19 (ends 12/18/26).

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Supports. A June 2026 show transcript describes a weekly $1,776 cash prize to someone watching the show live, starting July 6th.[1]

Supports. Contest rules text in later show podcast listings (Oct 22 and Oct 30, 2026) references the "1776 Live Club" giveaway with an end date of 12/18/26, indicating the contest was ongoing around the claim date.[2][3]

Context. The Oct 28 X post and Aug 2026 podcast listing repeat the 1776 Live Club promotion, but they are the show's own promotional material and do not independently confirm the weekly $1,776 amount.[4][5]

Context. No independent fact-checker or outside outlet in the sources addresses the giveaway, and the sweepstakes and Patriot Compass results concern unrelated contests.[6][7]
