Recorded 10/03/19 before a live global audience.
Post your questions here for tonight’s live-streamed episode of The Stratosphere Lounge with Bill Whittle.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi threatens President Trump with new obstruction of Congress charges if the White House fails to submit to subpoenas from House committees as part of the impeachment inquiry. But even if Democrats manage to impeach Trump, and a Senate super-majority removes him from office, could he still get reelected in 2020?
In another random act of kindness that alarms and shames Democrats, Scott Presler leads a couple hundred volunteers to clean up a massive, rat-infested, plague-ridden garbage pile in Los Angeles…for free.
Former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger shot Botham Jean after accidentally entering his apartment in what her attorney called a “series of horrible mistakes.” A Texas jury just convicted the white woman for the murder of the black man.

Kanye West suddenly shows up in Wyoming to lead a worship service, with a flash mob in tow, and a journalist doesn’t seem to catch who’s being worshiped: Kanye or Christ?
New York Times “conservative” columnist David Brooks makes the never-Trump case against impeaching the president. Why not just let Trump lose, rather than throw fuel on the fire of his devoted base?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announces an impeachment inquiry against President Trump. Bill Whittle thinks she has just handed the president a 2020 election victory. But how does a president under impeachment run a campaign?
Saturday Night Live reportedly believed that comedian Shane Gillis would appeal to conservatives, so they hired him in a shameless play for a bigger audience going into the 45th season of the once-great sketch-comedy show. Then they fired Gillis within hours.
The Two Topics edition! Norway and IMPEACHMENT!!!!
President Donald Trump orders the release of the transcript of his July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Voldymyr Zelensky, believing it clears him of an anonymous whistle-blower’s accusations of self-dealing.
