The Chris Plante Show Goes Into National Syndication
WMAL ^ | 10/18/2016 | WMAL

The Chris Plante Show is expanding!

Westwood One announced Tuesday it will launch The Chris Plante Show to radio stations nationwide starting Monday, January 2, 2017.

A third-generation media pro, Plante began his radio career at WMAL in 2005 after 17 years inside the Washington bureau at CNN, where he moved up the ranks from researcher and assignment editor to Pentagon correspondent. During his tenure at CNN, he crisscrossed the globe, covering events from Viet Nam and Albania to Jakarta. He was the director of the U.S. television network pool operations in Saudi Arabia for three months following Saddam Hussein’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait.

He is absolutely in the same league as Rush Limbaugh. Great wit; intelligent

Chris studies history and does not the liberals revise history when they call in. He acknowledges Trump’s imperfections while wholeheartedly supporting him.

Great! I travel to DC a lot and listen to him on WMAL. He’s kind of like the talk show version of Donald Trump; unapologetic, sarcastic, outspoken and a consummate smartass.

Agree. And he seems to really have fun doing it. I tune in on occasion and I'm in Texas.

For those who have never heard him, Chris will cite very clear examples of double standards and hypocrisy in politics, media, and education, and end it with "it's GOOD to be a Democrat!"

I’m on the west coast and listen to him at 6 in the morning on the WMAL app. He has a great sense of humor and is on to the “corrupt” press!

The guy is in 5th gear 6000 RPM all the time. Works callers in seamlessly like NO OTHER TALK SHOW HOST.

“I’ve had it up to here, I’m holding my hand flat across the middle of my forehead.”

“We’re saluting you for your service.”

“I was this close to _______, I’m holding my thumb and forefinger a quarter-inch apart.”

When he’s saying those, he actually IS doing those things in the studio, it’s quite humorous. He also does the show standing up with a handful on notes and one of those boom mics. He’d be great on a webcast.

“The government and media together in a well-lubricated sleeping bag”

Arguing with a liberal (they just keep talking over you) is like:

“Chasing a squirrel around the backyard with a tennis racket”

“A super bouncing around at zero G”

And let’s not forget the all-time classic, regard our ROP terrorist friends

“Pit-dwelling, blood-soaked, sharp-toothed, murder monkeys and troglodytes from medieval Hell”
