The Chris Stigall Show

First Lady Melania Trump dazzled and impressed any fair-minded viewer last night in a rare, 25-minute address to the nation from the White House Rose Garden. Hogan Gidley reacts to the night. NJ Congressman Jeff Van Drew will be a featured RNC speaker on the final night telling the nation why he left the Democrat party last year and shares some striking admissions of his own about his former party. Plus Lee Smith, author of the new book The Permanent Coup and mailbag!

It was the opposite of the dreary, dystopian view of the nation the Democrats painted at their convention last week. The Republicans opened their first night connecting with real Americans who love their country. You’ll hear speeches from many people of color in night one alone that blows a hole in the argument Donald Trump is racist. Plus Stigall interviews Tanya Weinreis and talk radio host and author of “Donald and the Fake News” – an always riveting conversation with Eric Mataxas.

The RNC convention gets underway this week and Stigall thinks he knows just what needs to be said. Biden and Harris give their first interview to ABC News on Sunday. The Postmaster General is back on the Hill today testifying before Congress on the made-up “scandal” surrounding the failure of the postal system somehow coinciding with the election. Jenna Ellis discusses the legal strategies the Trump team is deploying across the country as the mail-in ballot push continues with Democrats.

The gushing and fawning praise for Joe Biden’s convention speech was somewhat predictable. Stigall breaks down Biden’s specific lies about COVID-19 and refreshes your memory on what he and his campaign actually said about the virus since January with the assistance of Karl Rove. Ben Williamson stops by and lets us in on the President’s plans for next week. Steve Moore and Stigall fact check Biden’s economic record and plans. Finally, for a palate-cleansing laugh – Diamond and Silk! Plus mailbag

Former President Obama and current VP pick Senator Kamala Harris were among those speaking last night for the Democrats. Reaction from the Trump 2020 bus with Cory Lewandowski – Trump 2016 campaign manager and Trump/Pence 2020 senior advisor also sheds light on their plans for next week’s RNC convention. And a fascinating look at women and women of color from Trump co-chair Stacy Washington who has some inspiring perspective for struggling parents this fall.

What’s the deal with the Democrats using Republicans to excite voters about Joe Biden? Will it work? Seems unlikely if you listened to what AOC had to say. Now the women of the party have their turn. Julie Kelly from American Greatness, and author of the new book Disloyal Opposition. Then Andrew C. McCarthy returns to discuss the first guilty plea in the Russia/Obama/Spygate scansal. Who is it and is their more to come? How will this scandal play in the 2020 race, if at all? Plus some mail!

Stigall slices and dices night one of the Democrats first virtual convention. Donald Trump Jr. visits to discuss the passing of his uncle, the silent Trump voter, the Obamagate investigation, the made up postal service scandal, and much more. Then US Attorney Bill McSwain explains why offices like his across the country are stepping in to crack down on the violence and anarchy in American cities like Philadelphia if local officials either can’t or won’t do it themselves.

You might be like Stigall and wonder, “Where did the sudden emergency over the postal system come from?” Stigall explains the anatomy of this “scandal” and is joined by Townhall.com associate editor Beth Baumannt. Then, sports broadcaster and soon-to-be-podcaster Kevin Keitzman joins Stigall to talk about the state of COVID and politics in sports. From K-12, to college, and pros – politics has changed sports for good. Kevin is launching a new show to tackle it all.

Stigall wants to head into the weekend having a conversation about disagreeing without being disagreeable. Stigall hosts two guests who celebrate their principles while feeling called to be better. Allie Beth Stuckey discusses the Biden campaign’s play for Republican women, “slactivism,” and more. Then Pete Peterson discusses his new initiative signed onto by thousands of academics, thought leaders, etc. to stamp out cancel culture and thought police in college.

Biden and Harris officially kick off their campaign together in Wilmington Delaware. Stigall fact checks the Harris’ speech so full of lies it was hard to keep up. John Hayward helps explain the senator’s record and the media gaslighting you’re being fed about it. Then you’ll meet the PA state senator who has become a viral sensation after Stigall tweeted out a video of his plea to allow students to play sports this fall. Representative Jesse Topper joins Stigall from PA-78. Plus mail bag!
