The Chris Stigall Podcast

Stigall is lamenting a scheduled meeting at the White House tomorrow with the newly elected socialist, Islamist mayor of NYC. He's calling it "narrative poker" and explains today why this could be a very bad idea if not handled just right. Are Democrats asking members of the military to defy the Secretary of War and Commander-In-Chief? It sure sounds like it. Senator Tommy Tubberville joins the show today to affirm his support for blowing up the filibuster and why it's important to him it happen soon. On the House side, the man responsible for getting votes "whipped" or coordinated and on board with the Speaker's agenda - Minnesota Congressman and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer joins the show today to discuss everything from more DOGE cuts, to impeaching judges, and more. And now that the Epstein file release has been signed by the President, the Democrats' hand on the issue has been called. Will the regret this political stunt?

With remarkable swiftness, both chambers of Congress vote to unseal all documents related to Epstein. President Trump has signaled he'll sign it right away. Let's hope so. Still, it causes Stigall to wonder why all those who moved with such urgency on this issue can't seem to accomplish much on several other issues of importance to the country. US Senator Dave McCormick joins the show to discuss the Trump tariff policy among other news items of the day. CNN's Scott Jennings makes his first stop by the show to discuss his brand new book "A Revolution of Common Sense." Another pair of activist judges try to stop Texas from redrawing their congressional boundary lines. Immigrants still love the United States more than most Democrats. And speaking of Epstein and the Democrats - they'd better be careful what they wished for as new evidence shows he and they are awfully tight.

Just yesterday alone, three unbelievable judicial rulings came down that set Stigall off for the entire first half of the show. While there is much to discuss in the news, the role of the activist judiciary in this country is outsized and must be dealt with swiftly. Yes, the House is going to vote on the Epstein files and President Trump will sign off on whatever needs to be released. That’s a good thing. And yes, there are many questions surrounding the Butler Pennsylvania attempted assassination. Stigall gets into all of that today, but reminds you that if judges aren’t dealt with first, the other issues simply won’t matter.

There seems to be a strong play for the "MAGA mantle" in suggesting President Trump is no longer "America First." Stigall lays out as clearly as he ever has today as to why there's only one MAGA leader and it's not an "influencer," or podcast host or member of Congress. It's POTUS. Are Republicans going to hang tough on Obamacare subsidies or fight for real reform now that the issue is front and center? President Trump tells Republicans to go ahead and vote to release all the Epstein files while new critics have surfaced on an FBI coverup of the attempted assassination in Butler PA. Plus RFK comes out against the wind, the Secretary of AG lowers the boom on SNAP fraud, and more women are enlisting in the military than ever before. And the issue of affordability - how a new way of thinking about money is spreading across the states and why Kevin Freeman - author of "Pirate Money" thinks there's a new way around the dollar.

The very latest in an aggressive flex in the Caribbean by the Secretary of War. What's the end goal? And President Trump has also signaled a willingness to get involved in battling those who slaughter Christians in Africa. John Hayward brings his brilliance to both issues as well as the criticism that issues like these take the focus off our domestic priorities. To that end, the Vice President hits the talk shows to make the cast the President can, in fact, walk and chew gum at the same time and is doing just that on the economy. We discuss the AI race with China today and where things stand. Trying to win the hearts and minds of the young voter is also of paramount importance to Stigall as he highlights AOC's attempt to woo them away from free markets and come over to the side of the socialists. And Congressman Sam Graves discusses the agricultural community's beef over beef and soybeans, the future of air traffic controllers and flights that have been disrupted because of the shutdown, and the looming Highway Bill coming next year in the House of Representatives. And many more headlines!

Now that the government has reopened, there are a couple of different debates that will immediately get underway. 42 million people receive SNAP benefits for basic needs. How much fraud? Turns out a lot of it and the Secretary of Agriculture is prepared to lower the boom on it in a new report next week. Stigall has some preliminary numbers. One of the greatest Christmas traditions for the Stigall family is going to see Trans Siberian Orchestra at Christmas. They're launching their tour this week and their lead guitarist and musical director Al Pitrelli stops by to talk about a huge milestone they reached this year. Secretary of State Marco Rubio makes no bones about sending naval vessels to the Caribbean to flex at Venezuela. And Congressman Scott Perry explains why now is the perfect time to have a new debate about Obamacare.

The truth is, he's dropping bombs on his own party for playing fast and loose with millions of Americans' paychecks simply to continue to prop up Obamacare. Something he says his party set up to expire at this time on purpose anyway. As Democrats throw their leader Chuck Schumer overboard, Fetterman seems to be suggesting Obamacare should go with him. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent continues to be the best explainer on President Trump's economic team, along with Stephen Miller. They've received word "affordability" is the term that's hammering them so they're going to work to better explain how we'll get there. Plus, Stigall introduces a new must have for your Christmas giving season and many more headlines today.

Don't miss it. Democrats long ago keyed in on this word and have used it to great effect. "Affordable" housing. "Affordable" health care. It's a con game of course because nothing the government runs ends up being affordable or quality. That said, Republicans and the White House do have to battle the siren song of socialism and big government in an economy in which people are struggling. Particularly young people. Today, Stigall presents his private sector idea to build bridges between generations instead of cause them to battle in class warfare. Real, affordable housing that allows young people to have a house and get out of student loan debt while those with money can earn more by investing in those younger people's aforementioned needs. Stigall will explain in full detail. Plus, it's Veteran's Day and the story of one man who blew the whistle on woke in his ranks and got punished has now returned to run the show in the Trump administration and his story has been made into a great movie called "Call Sign Courage." And our weekly chat with economist Steve Moore on president Trump's 50-year mortgage plan, his $2000 tariff checks to Americans, and his economic forecast for 2026.

That's President Trump's plan, in part - with the revenue he's taking in from tariffs. The big "if" is, of course - will the Supreme Court stop him from using them? Stigall lays out why this president's economic policies should be celebrated, not stymied. The shutdown seems to be coming to a close. The Democrats' base is more angry than ever because of it. What brought the 8 Democrats over? Will Obamacare be bailed out again? Erin Maguire walks though the politics of the fight. Stephen Colbert gives an incredible response to his role as a variety show host. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent goes to battle on the Sunday Shows once again. And President Trump becomes the first president since the 70s to attend an NFL game.

Today's show focuses heavily on the politics of the left which are unceasing and unapologetic in the ground they want to take and the voices they want silenced. Increasingly, more calls are coming from the MAGA base to do something most have been uncomfortable and unwilling to do - nuke the filibuster in the Senate. Stigall takes comment from around the country - is this a necessary step before the left does it anyway? Now that massive flight cancellations are likely and disruptions to more Americans lives - including those without a paycheck grow - is it time for drastic action? Plus, Sydney Sweeny in her fist interview since the American Eagle faux-controversy absolutely fillets the interviewer with a simple answer. Mrs. Obama is still very upset over the burden of being her. More indictments seem to be coming in the Trump/ Russia hoax. It's apparently ok to throw things at cops now. And despite a glum economy, predictions of what you'll spend this holiday season are pretty bullish.

President Trump very much wants to but what will that mean for the future of politics? Or are we in such a serious time it's the only option for real reforms before next year's elections.

Depends on who you ask. We're loaded up today with analysis on elections that went overwhelmingly Democrat last night. A new brand of radical will now govern New York. Will the economy turnaround before next year and help the GOP? Is this a warning of things to come or simply deep blue states. Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma joins us to explain why he believes the filibuster should stay in tact in the Senate despite President Trump's request. Will the shutdown end this week? He seems to think so. And SCOTUS takes on Trump tariffs beginning today and he weights in as well. Sean Spicer on why guys like Chuck Schumer are still afraid to embrace Mandami in New York. And Congressman Wesley Hunt of Texas on why he's challenging Republican John Cornyn for the Senate seat in Texas Cornyn has held for a very long time.

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.

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.

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.

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.
