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.

Let's Make Babies!
President Trump is not just in a race with China economically, but also in the birthrate of each nation. Yesterday, RFK Jr. announced the administration's new initiative to encourage IVF, but there are many objections from pro-life conservatives. Stigall lays it out. The Islamist candidate for mayor of New York City says in a debate last night that visiting mosques is a must if you're going to be qualified for the office. Not kidding. Meanwhile the debate for the AG race in Virgina featured the Democrat defending his private texts encouraging violence against his political rivals. An update on the shutdown, John Bolton is indicted, and Josh Hammer responds to attacks from podcasters asserting he was tacitly involved in the death of Charlie Kirk. -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.

What Charlie Kirk Did For Young Men
Stigall offers his thoughts on why Charlie Kirk was such a significant figure at such a pivotal time in our nation's history and why we all must now guard our young men and continue in that work. Not allow dark forces to compromise his legacy and turn those young activists into angry, grievance mobs. The Pentagon releases new rules for the press. Is it unconstitutional? Can states draw district boundaries based on race? And Congress continues to look at the weaponization of the DOJ by the Biden administration from spying on Republicans to surveilling J6ers and waging lawfare against Donald Trump. Don't look now, but Obama is still talking and can't stand President Trump is being heralded as a great leader across the world, so he's doing his best to lead the opposition here at home. But it's not working. Meanwhile Hamas is still very much interested in spreading terror and maintaining control of Gaza and the people there. They're publicly executing anyone they deem traitors among them. It's not a story you're hearing much but you will here, and President Trump won't play nice with Hamas for long. -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.
