Chris Stigall Show

Yesterday, the Eagles beat the Colts after Carson Wentz got his first start since tearing his ACL and LCL last December. Wentz had a wobbly outing but showed some great agility when faced with pressure, alleviating Eagles fans’ stress that his knee injury would have a lasting effect. With two starting running backs and 3 wide receivers out, the defense truly stepped up to counter the perils of an offense suffering from the injury bug. Among things that Chris also discusses with Ray this week is the prevailing home-field advantage that the fans at Lincoln Financial Field provide, and whether Nick Foles would’ve been able to win that game.

Last week, the New York Times reported Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein suggested secretly recording trump and openly discussed invoking the 25th amendment. Over the weekend, the question arose as to whether or not Trump should fire Rosenstein. Some in the media have argued that this entire situation is a trap to make Trump look bad, while others said that Trump needs to remove those in the justice system who only seem to undermine Trump’s presidency.

Today was the day that the Senate was supposed to hold the vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh as the newest Supreme Court justice. Chris changes his stance on whether or not the on-going Kavanaugh saga regarding sexual misconduct allegations are a good thing for Senate Republicans up for re-election. Democrats are banking on female rage as a decisive factor this November. Chris argues that the longer this drags the angrier the entire voter base, not just women, will become in response to the Democrats’ treatment of Kavanaugh.

In an opinion editorial featured in The New York Times, columnist David Leonhardt argued that Hurricane Florence, at the time projected to be a Category 4 storm, suddenly intensified thanks to global warming. Considering Donald Trump’s climate change skepticism was initially blamed for the hurricane’s magnitude, Stigall wonders whether or not Trump should receive credit for Florence’s sudden downgrade to a Category 1.

USA Today recently published a story featuring 25-year-old public health researcher Anna Swanson admitting she sleeps in the nude. In fact, according to a survey by MattressAdvisor.com, two-thirds of Millennials sleep in the nude. The survey, which polled over 1,000 people across the country, came to the conclusion that 58 percent of people sleep in the nude. Nude sleepers also report better sleep quality than pajama-wearers, and men are more likely to sleep in the nude than women. In a hilarious segment, Chris asks Paige whether or not she sleeps nude and wonders whether or not this is a normal thing to do for people other than Millennials.

The Never Trump Republicans and Democrats like to call themselves "the resistance".  Is it Trump who is the real resistance?

Congressman Lou Barletta calls in to discuss the Presidents tweeting methods, the mysterious NY Times Op Ed, and the state of jobs in Pennsylvania.

Cynthia Nixon has been referred to in the past as New York’s first lesbian gubernatorial candidate, but Nixon herself identifies as “queer” rather than lesbian or bi-sexual. For decades, the term was used to attack those who didn’t identify as heterosexual, but the term has recently been reclaimed by the LGBTQ community. The term now defines a person who doesn’t necessarily fall under any specific label and highlights gender-fluid identities. Is it okay for Chris to start using "queer" again?

During an interview with Fox News, Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis received criticism for using the term “monkey it up” while describing the Socialist policies being pushed by his opponent Andrew Gillum. The left quickly labeled DeSantis’ comments racist. Stigall plays a montage of several Democrats using the same terminology—none were accused of racism.

During an interview with Fox News, Florida gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis used the turn-of-phrase “monkey it up” while describing the Socialist policies espoused by his competitor Andrew Gillum—an African American candidate. Many in the media inaccurately, and unfairly, labeled the comment as being directed at Gillum, calling it racist and a “dog whistle.”
