Speaker 1:
[00:03] I read that Trump has made a naughty and nice list of NATO allies he wants to punish who refused to support the Iran War. I'll be on the backfire when Trump tells friends, you're naughty, and they're like, oh, yes, we are naughty. Oh, punish us.

Speaker 2:
[00:22] The propaganda machine of the Communist Party, of the pro-jihad, pro-Putin, pro-open border, pro-MS 13, pro-trende-aragua, the Democrat Party. I think this morning, there are signs that they're about to attack Fort Sumter again. They're bringing back slavery. Chuck Schumer was carrying a bullwhip up on Capitol Hill today, wearing all gray. And defending the Southern Poverty Law Center because they fund the KKK and the Nazi Party. He loves the Nazi Party, Chuck Schumer does, and the KKK. He engages a little in a little sort of home lynching on himself every now and then. Schumer defends Southern Poverty Law Center. Trump Department of Justice is sending message, if you fight white supremacy, you're next. I got to do, you're the party of the KKK, pal. You guys created it. You're Nathan Bedford Forrest. You guys are the party of the Confederate States of America. And you see in Virginia where their capital is Richmond, Virginia, just like in the days when Jefferson Davis was their president and they were the Confederate States, the CSA, you know, those belt buckles and all that stuff, the Democrat Party, the plantation, the bullwhip, all that stuff. And they had their crooked little let's steal seats in Congress election and every filthy corrupt Democrat in the Commonwealth of Virginia voted for it. And they won. They won. We can steal seats in the House of Representatives, just like in the first Civil War that the Democrat Party started. And this time around, they've got an all-new plan that's very different. And it's the same. They are authoritarian. They are anti-democratic, un-American. They are the Democrat Party. They're not on our side. Where are they not on our side? But it turns out that a judge, a Virginia judge, has told the Democrats that their whole redistricting conspiracy, their scheme, and the brainwashing of the transgender Virginia Democrat voters, that it's all illegal, and it's unconstitutional, and it must be struck down. Virginia Court declares states' redistricting vote was unconstitutional in legal win for Republicans. It's a legal win for Republicans, the Fox News headline says. It could be a legal win for the Constitution and for the rule of law. But if the Democrats want to start breaking away states, which they did once in the 1860s, maybe it's time for them to reform the Confederate States of America and move their capital to Richmond, Virginia. And they could put the statues of Jefferson Davis back up because, you know, they're like the Taliban, they tear down their own history because they don't want people to know their own history. But never mind that. Virginia Court declares states' redistricting vote was unconstitutional for legal win for Republicans. Virginia Attorney General, Jay Jones, Jay Jones says the ruling from what he calls an activist judge will immediately be appealed by his office. And the cannon fire is raining down on Fort Sumter. Because the Democrat Party is, they're back in uniform and they've got muskets and they're coming for, they're coming for everyone. Make no mistake about it, rail spurs, camps, they got the whole thing going. Republicans are cheering a Circuit Court victory in Virginia that showed Democrats redistricting efforts in Virginia are not quite over yet, despite a referendum to accept a new map drawn by Democrats getting approved by voters on Tuesday. And honestly, I do think that their next step has got to be bringing back slavery, because this is the Democrat Party of yesteryear in the Soviet Union for the most part. Virginia Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurley, Jack Hurley ruled Wednesday, one day after the Democrat redistricting referendum passed, that all votes for or against the proposed redistricting amendment were unconstitutional, citing rules that impose certain requirements that the referendum did not meet. Perhaps he's not aware that the rules don't apply to the left, because, you know, they essentially agree with Chairman Mao that all political power comes from the barrel of a gun, and the Democrats are going to shoot and kill about 20,000 people this year in the United States. There are a handful of cases making their way through the Virginia court system, challenging various aspects of the referendum, including one Hurley ruled on Wednesday. The Tazewell Circuit Court just ruled the referendum unconstitutional. The judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election and denied a motion to stay pending appeal. A final order will be entered once drafted. It will be immediately appealed. Former Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the Cooch, LL. Cooch, said on X after Hurley's ruling. That's right. And it's a, I know it looks like Tazewell, T-A-Z-E-W-E-L-L. But as I understand it, it's Tazewell, Tazewell, not Tazewell. The Circuit Court judge, and that's just great stuff, said the referendum is unconstitutional, judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the election, denied a motion to stay pending appeal. That's great. And Ken Cuccinelli is great. He's a fun guy. I haven't seen him in quite a while, but he's a fun guy when I did see him. The Cooch, the Cooch. And shortly after the ruling came down, Virginia Attorney General, Jay Jones, who wants to own plantations, stocked with illegal aliens that he can bullwhip by day, and abused by none. Shortly after the ruling came down, Virginia Attorney General, Jay Jones, a Democrat who beat GOP incumbent Jason Miaras, who is great and a great American, but they got these communist, racists, anti-American types like Jay Jones. And this guy, Jay Jones, beat Jason Miaras in November, and that's a terrible, terrible thing. He indicated his office will immediately file an appeal and arm up and attack Fort Sumter. Because this is the Democrat Party's waging civil war in the United States of America. Truly, and that's big, they love the Southern Poverty Law Center. Just see this one. The Southern Poverty Law Center had vilified, demonized, and made the villain, the bad guy, the Turning Point USA, Turning Point USA, and Charlie Kirk, the villains. And then a couple of few weeks later, somebody assassinated Charlie Kirk, and maybe it's a coincidence that the Southern Poverty Law Center had just been vilifying him and his peaceful, pro-American, Christian organization, because they crucify, if Jesus were on earth today, the Democrats would nail him to a piece of wood and torture him to death because they're godless commies. So we've got that. But I just, I got to tell you, between the shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise by a Bernie Sanders presidential campaign volunteer named James Hodgkinson where he had intended to murder, commit mass political assassination, murdering the entire Republican baseball team, practicing for the congressional baseball game. The Southern Poverty Law Center had just vilified and demonized, who? Who? That's right. The man that was shot on the baseball field by the Bernie Sanders volunteer. And the Southern Poverty Law Center vilified and demonized the Family Research Council. And a gay rights activist with bags full of chick-fil-a sandwiches showed up at the Family Research Council and opened fire. He hit one man who then beat him up and took the gun away from him, even though he had just been shot. And so the terrorist attacks that the Southern Poverty Law Center affiliated with, Steve Scalise shooting, Charlie Kirk assassination, the attack on the Family Research Council. I don't think Al Qaeda has that many attacks, and that's just three. There are doubtless more as well inside the United States, but just amazing. Ken Cuccinelli, who heads the American Principles Project Election Transparency Initiative. It's the American Principles Project, and they have an initiative, the Election Transparency Initiative, and Cuccinelli is great, indicated Wednesday that there are four constitutional challenges to the referendum, making their way through the courts, three of which are challenges to the amendment process itself. The Democrats don't care whether it's legal or whether it's constitutional. They just want to kill your dog, because that's who they are. Virginia has a process to amend its constitution that has the General Assembly pass a proposed amendment, and then they have a state election, an intervening election, where the new House of Delegates was elected and so forth, and then that new General Assembly comes back and has to pass the exact same amendment, Ken Cuccinelli told CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings on Wednesday. In fact, Scott Jennings was at a party I was at last night, and here in Washington on Capitol Hill at a restaurant bar. It was nice. The General Assembly passed the amendment for the first time, called First Passage, Very Creative, on Halloween. That's natural, and maybe April Fool's Day is coming. Well, the same Democrats five years ago gave us a 45-day election. So voting began September 19th, 2025. Over a million people had already voted before its passage. These people are third-world tree-dwelling monkeys. They really are the Democrat Party. And they want to treat that election as the intervening election. They're going to have a very difficult time with that, Kucinelli said. Kucinelli added that there are other equally difficult constitutional challenges that Democrats are facing in this legal battle, which he said he expects to move quickly through the courts. Kucinelli told Jennings he expects a final ruling on the matter by May, by May. Nothing happens very quickly around here. Shortly after the news of the Virginia Circuit Court ruling in Taswell, Jones announced that his office would be immediately appealing the measure. Jones argued that an activist judge should not have the power to veto the people's vote. You psychotic, you Democrats live and breathe on activist judges corrupting the Constitution. Conservatives and Republicans tend to look for judges to enforce the law, uphold the law and the Constitution of the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia. But the Democrat Party, they're just not... I am telling you, amazing stuff. Your Democrat Party. And I'll tell you, I'm looking at the big board over here, Michael, and I, you know, once again, I gotta tell you, this is what the Democrats have done to elections in America. And I wanna, let's go to the phones. Let's take our first caller of the day, a little earlier than usual. Let's go to Bruce calling from Glade Springs, Virginia. Bruce, you're on The Chris Plante Show.

Speaker 3:
[12:49] Chris, thank you for taking my call. I just wanna bring this to your attention and your listener's attention here. This is from NBC website here. There was, there's 133 different counties in the state of Virginia. 35 of those counties voted yes. 98 voted no, okay? And then early day voting, in other words, like, or I'm sorry, election day voting, there was a 53% turnout that turned out for no. 47% turned out for yes. Early voting in the state of Virginia, 53 yes, 47% no. Now, mail-in ballots for the state of Virginia, 73% went yes, 27% went no. That's like almost 300,000 votes there, it's like 298,189 votes. The total that won by the yes is won by 89,092 votes. I want an audit for those mail-in ballots. I want an audit for those mail-in ballots. That is not compatible with the rest of the election or the rest of the state. I want to know who voted and where those votes came from.

Speaker 2:
[14:10] So, you don't trust the way the election was conducted in Virginia. And you don't trust the mail-in ballots. They're actually mailed out to people's home and then mailed back in. And the ballot harvesting. And I think what you're saying is the Democrat Party has so mangled our entire governmental system that you have no faith in anything anymore.

Speaker 3:
[14:32] Well, there's a huge disparity between the two. Like the three, actually, because, like I said, there's election day voting. There's early voting. And then there's mail-in ballot voting. So there's a 70% swing here on mail-in ballots. That doesn't line up with the rest of the election. Yeah. So it should draw red flags, and the Republican Party should be auditing those results. This is close enough that they should actually file an automatic audit. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[15:07] Yeah, it's true. I think the final was 48.5% to 51.5%. But if you look at that, that puts it right at 3%. And gosh, the Democrats might have just eeked out. Somebody find me 11,000 more votes because the Democrats want to get to that 3% buffer. This is criminal. This is third world. This shouldn't even be held in English. This is like Haiti. And the Democrat Party is an undemocratic party, an un-American party, and a corrupt party. Would you dispute any of that, Bruce? Not at all. Yeah. And their plan is to steal seats in the House of Representatives. And they yell, Texas! But never mind what Maryland has done, what New York has done, never mind what the Democrats have been doing all over the country for ages. They've been doing this in state after state. I just, I got to tell you, the Democrat Party is not a Democratic Party. And your article, I'm now looking for your NBC News article, and I tell you, Virginia Redistricting Referendum 2026, they got their live results. Voters in Virginia approve redistricting backed by Democrats. The, and then here we go again because of mail out ballots and ballot harvesting and early voting. And after election day, the Democrats are still counting up all their votes until they reach the threshold they need. And then they're done counting. That's because there are crimes being committed by corrupt politicians. And every Democrat voter seems to applaud this while cross-dressing. Thank you, Bruce.

Speaker 4:
[17:04] Hey there, I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. Do not ever worry about your salary. You need enough to make sure that you aren't in a bad financial position. Once you have that, your salary becomes moot. What matters from that point forward, upside gains. Any type of ownership stake or ownership potential, that's the money. Remember, you can afford anything, just not everything. Afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

Speaker 2:
[17:37] All right, so much to get to. Let's, gosh, we have time. Let's go to Kerry, calling from Charleston, South Carolina. Kerry, you're on The Chris Plante Show.

Speaker 5:
[17:50] Hey, Chris.

Speaker 2:
[17:51] Hey, Kerry.

Speaker 5:
[17:55] I haven't voted in 40 years. I believe in being Republican and everything, but I struggle to vote because I feel there's just too much lying. The Democrats seem they can just do whatever they want, get away with everything they want, and just cheat, lie, steal. We all know this. The Republicans know it. But it always seems to me that the Republicans sit on their hands with their thumbs poking in a place that they shouldn't have it, instead of just acting and doing something about it, instead of talking. Let's have some action here. Do what we want them to do.

Speaker 2:
[18:28] Well, you're not alone in that. That's for sure, Kerry. There are a great many millions of Americans that agree with you on that. Yeah, the law professor, I assume, emeritus at the George Washington University, Jonathan Turley, who is a thinking person. He tweeted out last night, he said, We're having quite a night in the courts, Jonathan Turley wrote. A Virginia judge just blocked the state from certifying the results of Tuesday's Congressional Map Referendum as unlawful. Judge Jack Hurley Jr. ruled the Democrats did not follow the correct procedure for a constitutional amendment, and they don't care. Of that, you can be quite certain. There are a lot of moving parts going on here. This is about normalizing criminal third world banana republic, bushwa stuff that the left inflicts on countries around the world, and the left is here now. They call themselves the Democrat Party. They shoot and kill Charlie Kirk and shoot and wound Donald Trump and shoot and wound Steve Scalise. You know, I'm sure the Southern Poverty Law Center vilified and demonized Donald Trump before he was shot by another suicidal Democrat terrorist, of which there have been a great many over the last few years. They're just not the good guys. Boy, are they not the good guys. Man, oh, man of Shevitz. All right, let's see. Let's go back to the telephones for a moment, Michael. I see people enthusiastic about talking about what the Democrats are doing to our country, what they're inflicting upon our country, and they're really demanding civil war because they're here to abuse their government power and steal everything you have. Your income, your property, your children. Other than that, not too much. Let's go to the phones. Let's go to Stacey, calling from Annandale, Virginia. Stacey, you're on The Chris Plante Show.

Speaker 6:
[20:58] Hi, Chris.

Speaker 2:
[20:59] Hi, Stacey.

Speaker 6:
[20:59] I'm a big fan of yours.

Speaker 2:
[21:01] Why, thank you. I'm a big fan of yours, and we just met.

Speaker 6:
[21:05] You're a funny guy. Hey, I wanted to talk to you about this article. My husband sent it to me because I was feeling really down about this special election, and it's so interesting. It's an op-ed written by Curtis Shube back in February, where he says that, 179 years ago, Arlington was part of DC, and the president at that time, Polk, pushed Arlington over from DC into Virginia because DC was pro-slavery, no, anti-slavery, and they wanted Arlington, the votes in Arlington, to be pushed over to Virginia, who was pro-slavery. And so it was a pro-slavery move made 179 years ago, separating Arlington and Alexandria from DC, moving it over to Virginia. So, theoretically, Trump could reverse that. It was an executive decision. He could theoretically reverse that, and it would be a very anti-slavery move. It would be a very popular move, and we could move those votes from Arlington and Alexandria back over to DC.

Speaker 2:
[22:32] They're all Democrat, all left-wing Democrats. This area, and it's of course true that everybody, every school child knows, I think that the District of Columbia, the Federal District, used to be essentially a perfect square, and the Potomac River running through more or less the middle of it, and part of DC on the Virginia side of the Potomac River. I like the old square shape of the District of Columbia, and this is a really fun idea, Stacey. I wasn't even aware of this article until you called in and pointed out the Curtis Shube article. As America turns 250, Trump should restore Washington, DC's original borders. Original borders. And there is also a story from, what is this, day before yesterday on Fox News. Trump has bold option to counter Virginia's new Gerrymander scheme. Returning Arlington to the District of Columbia would fight fire with fire. And the Democrat Party, I'm convinced, is about to open fire and shopping malls and front of houses soon. But it's a fun story. And then because you called in about it, Stacey, I did a little quick speedy search and I'm a speedy searcher because it's what I do for a living. But there is a congressman now, Congressman McCormick. This is from yesterday. Congressman McCormick introduces the Make DC Square Again Act. I love it. Yeah, today Representative Rich McCormick, a Republican from Georgia, introduced the Make DC Square Again Act. Is that an acronym? Is there an acronym? Probably not. It's just it's good enough on its own, I think, to undo the unconstitutional 1846 retrocession of Arlington County and the city of Alexandria from the District of Columbia to Virginia. This will restore DC's original boundaries established by the Residence Act of 1790. I got to, and I didn't know, I've got to tell you, Stacey, I like learning stuff, learning and learning, but saying that it was done because Virginia was pro-slavery. Of course, they were in the capital of the Confederate states, in Richmond, and the Democrats, their new capital is in Richmond again, where they're stealing democracy and stealing Congress and threatening everybody. They're a bunch of demented cross-dressing wussies, but they're belligerent as hell, aren't they, Stacey?

Speaker 6:
[25:10] Very belligerent. But just imagine if this happened, which it would be such an uproar, Virginia would be red for a long time.

Speaker 2:
[25:20] Well, and it would put all the libs in the District of Columbia, and then they'd have to pay the taxes that we pay, and the, you know, on and on. They could get these stupid license plates that say no taxation without representation on the bottom of their license. Because they whine even when they're sitting silently at an intersection, whining and whining. Honestly.

Speaker 6:
[25:45] You're a funny guy, Chris.

Speaker 2:
[25:46] But the story that you sent me to, which I now have in front of me, as America turns 250, Trump should restore Washington, DC to regional boundaries. And it's great stuff. This came up, somebody sent me this in a tweet or something the other day. Make DC swear again. And now with Congressman Rich McCormick. I love this. I want to buy this guy a beer. Rich McCormick saying Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, the US. Constitution commonly referred to as the Unclave Clause, grants Congress authority over federal district, quote, not to exceed 10 miles square, end quote, not to exceed 10 miles square, made up of territory ceded by the state governments to serve as the seat of the government. The Constitution does not enumerate any power to retrocede, that is to leave the federal district, to retrocede such territories back to state governments. So what Congressman McCormick is saying, Rich McCormick is saying is that this was really illegal when it was done in the first place, right? And unsurprisingly, the Democrats did it, right, Stacey? And unsurprisingly, because they love the bullwhip and slavery and the plantation. And look, this is why they love illegal aliens so much. Illegal aliens are their new slaves, their new cheap labor that they can abuse and throw in the basement and on and on. But the Democrat Party, really, the history of the Democrat Party is the history of everything evil in the history of America.

Speaker 6:
[27:24] So that's why I love the way this article ends, where he says, as we prepare to celebrate America's 250th birthday, it would be a fitting moment for Trump to return Arlington residents to their constitutionally approved residence. Virginians could also sleep better knowing they had righted a centuries old wrong. So we could all feel good about ourselves.

Speaker 2:
[27:50] That is great, which is, that's right. I just got to that paragraph myself. That's, and it's good. I think it's a three or four page when it's printed out. It's got some pictures and stuff there, but it's great and good for Curtis, I guess Shuba Shub, who wrote the piece, February 14th, as you pointed out, Stacey. I love the fact that Congressman Rich McCormick is introducing the bill and he says the Constitution never authorized Congress to carve pieces out of the federal district and hand them back to the state, Congressman McCormick said. Democrats have spent years manipulating maps and boundaries to rig elections. The Make DC Square Again Act restores the original 10 miles of the District of Columbia, 10 square miles, and ends the artificial advantage Virginia Democrats have recently gained from all the federal bureaucrats moving into Virginia. I think it's a fun idea. And as somebody who lives in the district and has lived in the district for a long time, you know, we could use a little more breathing room and we don't, you know, we don't want to have to show our papers, show our papers crossing the Memorial Bridge going into Virginia.

Speaker 6:
[29:09] Do you think President Trump would do this?

Speaker 2:
[29:12] I, you know, I got to tell you, I wouldn't rule it out at all because President Trump is, you know, loves taking bold and sweeping actions like grabbing the corrupt president of Venezuela and going after all the leadership in Iran and taking on radical Islam head on, which, you know, honestly, before they enter the nuclear weapons and ICBM age, these are big things. President Trump does big and sweeping things.

Speaker 6:
[29:41] And, you know, you would have to consider, though, that the people that that then the residents of Arlington and Alexandria, new residents of DC, DC might really want representation that they might.

Speaker 2:
[29:54] Yeah, they can't get it because it's in the Constitution. You can't you can't, you know, that the Democrats are such liars and frauds. I think every Democrat voter has become a mental case at this point. I don't know how you can vote for this stuff and these people, but you don't want to have, if DC became a state 10 square miles, be the smallest state by far, and we'd have two senators, Democrats complain that there are two senators for North Dakota, and they don't have as many people as California. But the Democrats lie about everything and they steal at every possible turn. But the federal district, you can't have a governor that governs over the capital and the White House. This is the whole point. The geniuses that founded this country, they were just so amazingly smart and could see the future, and they knew people back then that were like the Democrats are today. You can't have a super governor that, like when we had January 6th, who's in charge of that? The governor, and then you have two senators in the capital who preside over the nation's capital, and only two senators, provider of the nation's capital. We would have, based on the population, one member of the House of Representatives. We have one non-voting member now, and it's best that way. I can assure you that they'd be non-voting. Eleanor Holmes Norton, who doesn't know what month it is, and she's elected like 85 times, it's embarrassing. She could be carbonated.

Speaker 7:
[31:26] You should run.

Speaker 6:
[31:27] You should run.

Speaker 2:
[31:28] Oh, yeah. Well, I was just shaking my head and choking a little bit. I have too much fun doing what I'm doing now. I guess I could still tell the truth if I were on Capitol Hill. But if I were to run, I'd have to go to Virginia to run for office because I couldn't do it in Washington, DC. But I think this is a fun idea. They're constantly whining, Oh, the Federal District. Again, it's the Constitution. It's genius that the Federal District is small, only 10 square miles. And you can live in it or not. You don't have to live in it. I, for some reason, choose to live in it. And the Democrats want to have a super member of the House of Representatives who represents the District of Columbia, two senators who will be criminals, because we only elect criminals who think that the Jews control the weather and things like that in Washington, DC. And they want to have a lot more of those. And giving DC that they're already talking about giving DC statehood, you know, the Democrats are, Stacey, they're all over this, because then they'd have two permanent radical left-wing anti-American senators re-elected again and again and again forever. But having a governor, a left-wing radical America-hating governor who is in charge of the capital city of the United States of America and the seat of government, that would lead to civil war even faster than the Democrats are pushing us there now. Don't you think?

Speaker 6:
[33:02] That would be bad. That would be bad.

Speaker 2:
[33:05] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[33:06] If you did that, if you moved the residents, if you moved Arlington and Alexandria over to the square, make DC square again, which I had to get a bumper sticker that says that.

Speaker 2:
[33:16] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[33:17] You would, I think Richmond would freak out about the loss of taxes.

Speaker 2:
[33:22] Oh yeah, that's true. I hadn't even thought about the taxes. I'm not greedy enough for a Democrat enough. Go to the taxes, but you're right. Because it's where tons of, and you know why, Stacey? Why there is so much money and so much tax money in that corner of the District of Columbia? You know why? Why? Government money. The wealthiest parts of Virginia are in the envelope of the federal government, the federal district, because of the trillions of dollars that fall off of tables here all year long. And you're right, I hadn't even thought about that. So Richmond would go crazy. They'd probably suit up in gray again and go crazy. An Democrat party is doing everything they can to wreck this country, aren't they?

Speaker 6:
[34:14] They are. I don't understand how you can have supposedly sane people thinking so differently on important ideas like this. They don't like our country.

Speaker 2:
[34:26] They don't like our country. Yeah. Yeah, Stacey, as I'm fond of saying, once you accept the fact that they're not on our side, then everything makes sense immediately.

Speaker 6:
[34:38] It's true.

Speaker 2:
[34:39] You know?

Speaker 6:
[34:40] It's true. You are profound, Chris Plante.

Speaker 2:
[34:43] This guy, I'm so profound. I can hardly believe how profound. Michael, Michael Pearcey is nodding at me, but he's got a funny smirk on his face. Stacey, I'm really glad that you called in. This was a great job. I'm glad. I'm glad. I thank you very much. You're a great American. God bless you. You too. Thanks Stacey. See, normal people, nice people, Team America people. We are the good guys. We are the good guys. We've been getting steamrolled for long enough. I think that President Trump should announce on Truth Social today that we're going to retake the old Virginia slavery stolen parts of the District of Columbia, and we're going to reincorporate them into our nation's capital. All right. It'll be good. Then we'll have more riverfront, more riverfront stuff. Of course, the Democrats don't do much with riverfront. They didn't even know they had a river until about 10 years ago. They thought that was just a place to throw dead bodies because, you know, so we've got a great call, Stacey. Thank you very much. We got the Southern Poverty Law Center and Chuck Schumer. I've got an Iran update. Big changes at the Navy, at the Pentagon. A lot of stuff to get to. 888-630-9625. I think I came in riled up today. I think I was a little spun up. I think I'm more calm now. All right, let's go back to the telephones. Oh, we don't have a time to talk. Let's go to Kathy calling from Williamsburg, Virginia. Kathy, you're on The Chris Plante Show.

Speaker 7:
[36:32] Thank you, Chris. So nice to talk with you. I listen to you all the time. And I wanna join the chorus of outraged Virginians over what is going on in our Commonwealth. Many people probably don't realize that a few weeks ago, Governor Spanberger signed into law a House bill, and I'm sorry, I don't have the number in front of me, but it will prohibit the hand recounting of ballots after an election, unless a machine malfunctions. Otherwise, no hand counting of ballots. And that goes into effect July 1st. This is outrageous. So as long as we still have the opportunity to hand count ballots, I call on the Virginia GOP to start hand counting these ballots, especially the mail-ins, and verify that these are legitimate voters. This is an opportunity we need to take now before it's taken away from us in July.

Speaker 2:
[37:26] You're 100% right, as always. I know we just met, but you're always right. And the, I can tell by your voice, the way you articulate things. I think that's an excellent idea. The Democrats are trying to destroy the world.

Speaker 7:
[37:46] Vince Colonais is redefining News Talk.

Speaker 5:
