WorldNetDaily columnist Jane Chastain and Russ Verney – both broadcast veterans – will team up to host a daily show on the USA Radio Network for the public interest law firm Judicial Watch.
The Judicial Watch Report begins Oct. 29 and will air from 12:00-2:00 p.m. Eastern.
Chastain, the nation’s first woman television sportscaster on both the local and national levels, turned her attention to politics over a decade ago and has been an outspoken commentator on moral and social issues in the print and broadcast media. She hosted her own radio talk show, “What Washington Doesn’t Want You to Know,” and is the author of “I’d Speak Out on the Issues if I Only Knew What to Say.”
Verney, a decorated Vietnam veteran, spent 11 years as an air-traffic controller before entering politics. A former New Hampshire Democrat Party official, he became disenchanted and, in 1992, joined Ross Perot’s independent campaign for president. He played a pivotal role in the creation of the Reform Party and served as its founding chairman. From 1998 until 2000, Verney co-hosted a program with Pat Choate on the Talk America Radio Network. A political analyst for KTVT, the CBS affiliate in Dallas, Texas, he also serves as the southwest regional director for Judicial Watch.
Chastain and Verney have been regular fixtures on the Saturday Judicial Watch Report on Radio America. The weekend show, hosted by Judicial Watch Chairman Larry Klayman and Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, has been a lively forum for discussion on the issues of the day as well as a platform to present and highlight Judicial Watch’s legal cases.
“We look at this daily radio talk show as a natural extension of our current line-up of Judicial Watch-produced programs,” said Klayman. In addition to radio, Klayman and Fitton host a one-hour television show every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:00 p.m. Eastern on the Renaissance Network. “We learned some time ago that if you want to give the public the unvarnished, unfiltered access to the truth, don’t sit around and depend on someone else, do it yourself.”
Asked about the selection of Chastain and Verney for the daily show, Klayman responded, “It was an easy choice. Both are broadcast veterans and are ideologically compatible with the overall goals of Judicial Watch. Russ joined our organization in April. He is unquestionably honest and a great thinker. Jane was one of the finest talk show hosts in the country and always has believed in our ideas.”
The Judicial Watch Report can be heard on many USA Radio Network affiliates or through a link at USARadio.com or Judicial Watch. Stations interested in carrying the program may contact USA Radio at 800-829-8111 in Dallas, Texas, or visit the website.
