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. -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.

Two great conversations, one mediocre podcast! LOL Scott Stevens is up first. The Exies are back together and touring. They play the Machine Shop on November 9th. Since the band disbanded 15 years ago, Scott's worked with everyone from Shinedown to Dorothy, to Halestorm, and more. He has some great stories to tell about writing and producing some great rock artists. Up next, it's Al Pitrelli from T.S.O. He plays on the west coast version of the band. Al's played in many projects and has lots of great tales. He answered a question from David Ellefson about his time in Megadeth, and even one from Bals Elias, the drummer in the West Coast band, and lots more. Enjoy! Meltdown
