Democrats Play Nice Ahead of Tomorrow
Bringing out Obama to the stump in Virginia seems like an interesting play. So, too is the messaging. Unity, low taxes, tough on crime. These are the things Democrats are closing with even though it's the furthest thing from their agenda heretofore. Even the DNC chair admits what they were selling isn't working. Stigall also continues to tackle the simmering discomfort amongst some conservatives and commentators on the rise of a certain attitude and belief system that he believes he's identified and understands its root. All of us must guard against it. Mark Weaver joins us to discuss SCOTUS taking up Trump tariffs this week, should Judge Boasberg be impeached by the House, and can federal judges force the President to pay SNAP benefits while Democrats continue to keep the government shut down? Erin Maguire joins to brag about her Bills and handicaps tomorrow's big election matchups. -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.

Trick or Trump!
The President has sparked a debate Stigall says was teed up by the Vice President in yesterday's show. Tomorrow is the deadline for some 40 million Americans who collect SNAP benefits. President Trump has a solution for Republicans. Should they take it? Virginia's gubernatorial race all comes down to Tuesday. The Republican candidate for the post is the current Lt. Governor of the Commonwealth - Winsome Sears joins the show. WWE fans know him as Kane - but today he's the Republican Mayor of Knox County, TN - Glenn Jacobs is back for another Halloween interview and as one of his biggest fans - Stigall turns it over to Fast Eddie to geek out for a while. And the deadly serious matter of thousands of Christians slaughtered by Islamists in Africa. One member of Congress is calling on his colleagues to step up and get involved. Hear from Riley Moore (WV-2) on this, the shutdown, and the possible impeachment discussion over Arctic Frost. -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.

A Stunning Level of Abuse
If you're not familiar with Operation Arctic Frost - now is the day to learn about it. In American history there is no parallel and Republican Senators like Eric Schmitt and Ted Cruz are demanding the House of Representatives move now to impeach one of the most partisan and destructive federal judges in the country. This makes some nervous, but Stigall says Vice President Vance gave advice last night at a TPUSA event all conservatives should heed. Meanwhile President Trump is scoring some big trade concessions with China as it's being reported today. But some in the world of conservative commentary seem to not understand why his foreign travel is about MAGA, not ignoring it. Speaking of back home, the shutdown has hit the one month mark. Democrats are spiraling out of control on the messaging. And Obama rears his ugly head again to remind us how desperately they want to control your speech in the future. -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.

Let's Make A Deal - China Edition
President Trump is steaming through Asia brokering deal after deal on trade and peace. South Korea and Japan in just the last 24 hours. On deck is a biggie - China. Gordon Chang, author of "Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America" offers insights into why this time Xi might be desperate to get a deal done this week. The hilarious Arynne Wexler stops by to discuss "influencer" culture amongst conservatives gong off the rails. Major action is happening in the DOJ to protect election integrity, major crime is being obliterated by the FBI, the Pentagon is cleaning house of lousy leaders, and ICE and Homeland Security are putting their foot to the gas pedal in decorations of illegal aliens. Plus, the Senate - with the help of a few Republicans - just made Stigall's point about the legality of President Trump's tariff policies yesterday as the debate heads to the Supreme Court. -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.

The Walls Are Closing In
One by one more voices traditionally aligned with the Democrats are calling on them - maybe not by name - to sign on with Republicans to reopen the government. Jim Pfaff of the Conservative Caucus explains the politics on the Hill and how the Democrats inadvertently boxed themselves in on the Obamacare discussion. RedState.com front page contributor Bonchie returns to discuss the very uncomfortable but obvious influence of foreign money in some conservative media outlets which is now officially confirmed. Stigall urges media consumers to be aware of who's funding your favorite shows - no matter who they are. And our weekly talk with Steve Moore our chief economist. Trump is scorning some brilliant strategic trade wins in Asia - with China on deck next will he officially put China in a place they can no longer afford to refuse a trade deal? Meanwhile, tariffs at home will be debated officially before the Supreme Court on November 5th and Steve has a bold prediction about the outcome. Stigall has a different opinion. -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.

Will New York Really Elect This Guy?
Holy cow! Democrats are going all in on an Islamist dual citizen who proudly calls himself a "socialist."

Power-packed panel today to respond to it all. EJ Antoni responds to the economic news that inflation, gas, and groceries continue to drop. Daniel Turner from Power the Future reminds us how we got to sky-high gas and health insurance prices in the first place.

Is It All Rigged?
You've heard it over and over by now. Professional sports is rigged! Is that entirely true? Stigall turns to two industry experts after an enormous gambling ring was broken up by Kash Patel's FBI involving several former and active NBA players, a coach, and four mafia families. Dave Mason represents an online betting site and Stigall asks what is necessary to prevent this kind of cheating short of outlawing betting. Marc Farzetta is a tenured sports talk show host and Stigall asks him what the implications are for all of professional sports we enjoy watching. Plus, judges are using AI in their rulings now and getting it wrong! The government shutdown continues after Democrats say no to paying furloughed government workers in a failed vote yesterday. We talk with a former Trump Ambassador on his trade policy. How do you interact with a government the President is battling over trade deals? And open line Friday with a buffet of unusual subjects as usual. -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.

White House Flipping
Only severe TDS would cause you to completely misrepresent or get overly wound up about a privately funded $300 million dollar renovation to the White House, but that's what Democrats have to work with this week so they're trying to make the most of it. Of course the history of White House renovation is long and storied. Stigall gets into it. The Secretary of State launches on an 8th drug boat and President Trump makes it clear - he ain't playing with drug lords. John Hayward discusses as well as the new conservative leadership in Japan and the real upside in the Gaza peace plan. Is New Jersey about to flip red again? We talk with the New Jersey GOP about the neck and neck race between Jack Ciattarelli and Miki Sherrill. While in Virginia, MSNBC says woman haters are keeping Abigail Spanberger down. There's a problem with that theory, of course. Halloween buying is surging despite higher prices. And Rosie O'Donnell is leading a buy-cott at the end of November. Why? Stigall fills you in. -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.

Trump the Builder - Yes He Can!
Today Stigall explores the hysteria surrounding Democrats claims President Trump is "destroying" the White House by adding on to it. Of course, the opposite is true. And not just the White House - the country at large. Also, this government shutdown has evolved into a discussion over Obamacare and those who get subsidies to pay for it. It's clearly a broken system in need of reform, if not total destruction. How did we get here and can it be fixed? A walk down memory lane with Economic Policy Innovation Center VP Brittany Madni. Then, not one buy two United States Senators stop by. From the great state of Wisconsin, Senator Ron Johnson joins us and from Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick. We talk the shutdown, peace in the middle east, should John Brennan be prosecuted, will Democrats successfully toss Fetterman, and much more!-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.
