Operation Epic Fury

Stigall has the very latest from the Secretary of War's latest press conference this morning to the leadership of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. We're living some consequential history and you have a front row seat. US Senator Dave McCormick - who was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan joins Stigall to explain why what President Trump has done is not only Constitutional, but nothing like the wars launched of 25 years ago. Shahin Gobadi of the NCRI joins the show to explain why Iranians are ready now to install new, secular democratic leaders without the aid of American "boots on the ground." Nevertheless, we realize the seriousness of war, no matter the well laid plans as we've lost 4 of our servicemen. Stigall explores the gravity of the moment and the humility required at the same time. And Erin Maguire navigates some of the politics here at home.

Hillary Tries A New Lie

The Clintons are back and this time they're talking Epstein. Stigall notes the shift in messaging from her to give plausible deniability. Democrats seem to be coming out of the woodwork to commend President Trump after the State of the Union in some places, while Democrats are learning they might have caused themselves real harm after staying seated during so many 80/20 issues discussed before the nation. Thune gets wobbly on passing the SAVE Act through the Senate as Trump heads to Texas to weigh in on their upcoming Republican Senate primary. Plus you'll hear more great conversations from Stigall's trip to DC including Secretary Doug Collins discussing our nation's veterans, SBA Administrator Loeffler talks the state of small business in the country and their futures, Jon Fleishman of the California GOP says there's actually a possibility a Republican could become the next governor of California. And you'll know this actor once you see him if his name isn't familiar. From films like The Fugitive, Late Shift, and shows like Matlock and dozens more - Daniel Roebuck has a great, new faith-based film called "The Hail Mary." -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Behind The Scenes at the White House

It was a real privilege and honor to be asked to return to the White House the day after the State of the Union address. Stigall had the opportunity to sit with several members of President Trump‘s cabinet and officials who were happy and eager to talk up the MAGA agenda. Also, issues that may not have been on our radar. We’ve heard many complaints surrounding the concern about President Trump’s executive order protecting the weed killer “Round Up.” You’ll hear a pretty nuanced discussion about it from the HHS Director on Human Food (yes, that’s a real thing.). Dr. Oz and VP Vance launches a broadside on Medicare and Medicare fraud yesterday and we got a preview from Dr. Oz. And what was the online reaction to the President’s speech and the Democrats’ behavior within social media? Our weekly check in with “Eyes Over” to give us the pulse of the voters mood in the digital square. - For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigall Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/ Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPod Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShow See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
