Fireworks Are Coming Next Week
And we're not just talking about the show in the sky on the 4th of July. As you know, President Trump wants the "big, beautiful bill" on his desk to sign his tax cuts permanently into law. But first, some messiness in the Senate is causing angst. Too many changes, then it heads back to the House who barely passed their version weeks ago. Can these two chambers of Congress get on the same page with a week to go? Stigall gets down in the weeds today on this so you're fully up to speed on where it stands and who's on what side of these issues. The former Secretary of the US Senate - Kelly Johnston returns to share perspective on this person you're hearing about called the Senate parliamentarian who's derailing hugely important parts of this bill. But as you'll learn, this person shouldn't and technically doesn't have the power to stop anything. Meanwhile, Congressman Scott Perry on the House side joins us to handicap what's in store when the Senate version passes and makes it way back to a House debate. It's sausage making, but important to know. Plus, Michelle Tafoya on Pete Hegseth referring to "our boys" during the strike on Iran last week, Simone Biles, Caitlin Clark and more. And calls from around the country on Open Line Friday! -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/StigallShow -Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

Who's Your Daddy?
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Kain hold a press conference today to give details on the successful strike on Iran's nuclear sites on Saturday, but of course it only inspires the media to become more hostile. Stigall has about enough. You'll hear how it all unfolded. Meanwhile, at NATO - they're calling President Trump "daddy." No kidding! And the political hack we call Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell gets a brilliant cross examination on his decisions to remain quiet sometimes while commenting actively at other times during the Trump administration. -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/StigallShow-Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

The World Is Watching "Dear Donald."
There's no way you can't be happy if you're a Trump voter at this moment in American history. Historic peace achieved perhaps in the Middle East - certainly a dramatic pause at a minimum in a decades long menace to the West from Iran. It appears the Senate is about to get Trump's tax cuts extended, perhaps as early as Friday. And NATO and the global community are stepping up and celebrating if not surrendering to President Trump on his demands for fair trade deals and others paying their fair share for national defense. Not to mention an energy market and school choice for parents around the corner to improve kids' educations. It's a whole lot of winning! Fantastic guests today including Alabama Senator Tommy Tubberville, Power the Future's Daniel Turner, Shahin Gobodi spokesman for the Paris-based People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). He is also a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, and plenty of the latest breaking news!-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/StigallShow-Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

This Is As Big As It Gets
If it holds, President Trump has achieved the most impressive accomplishment in the Middle East in most of our lifetimes. It’s a period of history that will be studied long after we’re gone. Potentially real, lasting peace in the Middle East without a single member of our military on the ground or in harms way. Join Stigall as he unpacks the breaking news of the last 24 hours including this morning’s events with former Trump administration Deputy National Security Victoria Coates. Have you noticed the markets haven’t tanked and oil hasn’t skyrocketed? Steve Moore joins us to explain why. And SCOTUS gives President Trump another huge win in his fight against illegal immigration. -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/StigallShow -Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

Operation Midnight Hammer
It was an overwhelming military success. It was strategic and focused. That said, if you're on social media you might be hearing some high profile "influencers" suggesting its the beginning of World War 3 or President Trump being compromised by the "war mongers" in Washington. Stigall doesn't see it that way at all and believes there's an intelligent, careful, and humble way of looking at what happened this weekend that is neither beating a war drum or freaking out that the end is near. Josh Hammer just got out of Israel while visiting family with the help of Governor Ron DeSantis and he joins the show to tell us how it happened. Radio legend and Newsmax host Todd Starnes brings his message of faith and patriotism in a brand new book "Star Spangled Blessings," and live to the White House with Dr. Sebastian Gorka who was in the room Saturday as the bombs dropped on Iran. -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/StigallShow -Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

Look Who's Giving Peace A Chance!
You've ridden along this week with Stigall on his "Trust Trump" prescription for this fight between Israel and Iran and yesterday proved why that's sound advice. Why are Senate Republicans squabbling over Medicaid cuts? And the media continues to frame the "big beautiful bill" as something that only spends and generates no new revenue for the Treasury. Jim Pfaff of the Conservative Caucus on what he's hearing from people inside the debate on Capitol Hill. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins makes a surprise appearance toward the end of the show today to discuss migrant work on farms versus Tom Homan and ICE's commitment to deport illegal aliens. Can farms function without illegal labor? -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/StigallShow -Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

Keeping Calm About the Bomb
If you're looking for another show to whip you into hysterics about Iran and Israel, this isn't your show. If you're looking for reasonable discussions on where we are and where do we go from here - this is your show. Former State Department advisor on Iran, Polaris National Security Executive Director Gabriel Noronha on how to deal with Iran - perhaps without firing a single shot on our own. Plus, the Biden auto-pen. If it was used, is anything signed into law or pardons actually legal? And do illegal aliens have a right to a trial before deportation? Michael O'Neil of Landmark Legal Foundation with the analysis of it all. And a massive SCOTUS ruling yesterday is a necessary stand to protect the safety of children nationwide. Katherine Green Robertson of the Alabama AG's office explains the ruling's significant impact. -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/StigallShow -Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

Who Says It's "Regime Change?"
Stigall has been debating with himself whether or not to spend another day in the middle of this conservative sniping over Israel and Iran, but feels it's just too important spiritually and for our security to not discuss this and hash out some really wild declarations about the motivations behind our involvement. From the Biblical and moral point of view, Pastor Lucas Miles returns to sort out what has become a growing "replacement theory" view of Israel and Scripture all Christians should sort out for themselves. Then, from a military perspective - a man who's served his country honorably Col. Kurt Schlichter on why this war isn't Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghnistan. What makes it strategically different? Then, on policy - MO Senator Eric Schmitt on our interests in the outcome and what should our involvement - if any - be? He's also leading the investigation into the Biden "auto pen" signatures he calls a bigger scandal than Watergate. -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/StigallShow-Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

Who Says We're At War?
Stigall encourages everyone to just take a deep breath and realize - if you've come this far trusting Trump - it's his feeling you have no reason not to continue. Now that the President has warned Iranians to evacuate - many once pro-Trump voices are suggesting he's getting ready to plunge us into war and betray his voters who want to end wars. What's the truth? Lt. Col. Tony Schaffer and John Hayward from Breitbart both offer the kind of nuance that's needed now and not overly simple, binary war or no war analysis. Plus, the bizarre story of Vance Boelter in Minnesota. What's the story with his multiple residences and his wife and family in a car with guns, passports, and cash? Liz Collin from Alpha News brings us the latest. Then, the economy seems to be improving. Will interest rates drop soon? And what's the status of the big beautiful bill? Will it make the July 4th deadline? Steve Moore is here to break it down. -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/StigallShow-Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.

Pride and Patriotism vs. Paranoia and Politics
No greater dichotomy on display than this weekend's activities. The "no kings" astroturfing designed to suggest huge swaths of the country fear President Trump because he's carrying out the promises he made and the reason 77 million people elected. Meanwhile, President Trump celebrates the Army's 250th anniversary with a parade through the streets of D.C. and even MSNBC has to admit, it's not "dark and authoritarian" at all. In fact, it's down right happy and patriotic. No one better captures this than former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and his brand new book "Trump's Triumph." He and Stigall always have a great conversation. Plus, former deputy national security advisor to President Trump - Victoria Coates on Israel's strike on Iran. Where does it go from here? Will the US get involved? And what about the debate simmering amongst conservatives that this war will escalate and "war mongers" in the GOP and media are pushing Trump into this situation? Stigall also unpacks the bizarre and tragic political assassination in Minnesota. -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/StigallShow -Help protect your wealth with real, physical gold and silver.
