It's Time To Take Back The Message
As Stigall often points out - what's reality versus what media is trying to make you feel are entirely different things. It's also true that the GOP is not on their game right now when it comes to offense. Stigall takes Senate Majority Leader John Thune to task for his unwillingness to tackle the SAVE America Act. President Trump continues to remain resolute and focused on getting the legislation across the finish line and while Democrats are historically unpopular - the Congressional Republicans aren't messaging well at all. As for the efforts in Iran, Stiagll thinks less Lyndsey Graham and more visits to the Joe Rogan media venues are the way to counter the sometimes legitimate, sometimes disingenuous criticisms of the President's efforts in Iran. Plus, our colleagues at Townhall.com go undercover to expose the radical commitment to "transitioning" minors in the public school system. -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.

Terrorism Strikes New York. Not That You'd Know It.
You likely didn't notice the slight of hand pulled by the Mayor of New York this weekend. A protest in front of the Mayor's home was attacked by Islamist terrorists but the mayor made the attack appear directed at the Mayor himself and completely ignored the motivation. Stigall unpacks it. Will you be happy with an Iran totally defeated and neutered of weapons but their leadership stays the same? It's a question explored today with John Hayward from Breitbart.com as well as our weekly Republican strategy session with Erin Maguire. Stigall shared a well-written analysis of what victory truly looks like in Iran as well written by someone who's studied and taught in war college. Plus, Democrats are in a sorry shape and Bill maher makes that point to their faces. -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.
