If you miss Rush you will love the Chris Plante show. He really knows his stuff and he’s the funniest guy on the radio. He stays on topic and squeezes in as much news as possible instead of wasting valuable time. If you only have time for one show this is the one you want.

I’ve quickly become hooked on the Chris Plante show- I really enjoy his pointed remarks, his unmatched sense of humor and his think-out-loud style of broadcasting. Plus the guy is smart- he has a remarkable memory for songs, movies, quotes, and news stories. And someone in his life taught him how to speak English without any language or grammar mistakes- so thanks to whoever that was! Makes for very enjoyable listening. I rely on the Chris Plante show for upbeat, entertaining, and unique perspectives every time.

I’ve been listening to Chris since I retired back in 2017. He is funny and entertaining. As a retired Air Force member and Federal Air Marshal out of Chicago I can definitely relate to his commentary and experiences. His Newsmax show is👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

The term “cat fight” is a tired, old, bygone, offensive, misogynist phrase that should not be used in the 21st century, especially in a podcast claiming to be factual and news-based. Please stop using the term to describing an argument or fight just because women are involved.
The embarrassing dust-up in the House Oversight Committee hearing Thursday night (May 16, 2024) was started by a nasty comment that others had every right to call to strike. I don’t condone representatives on either political side becoming rude or breaking decorum, and I don’t condone calling what happened a “cat fight”!
