Welcome to another episode of The Chicks on the Right podcast.

We are so glad to have our friend of the show, Nick Freitas, back with us to talk news of the day.

And it's so perfect because you have been a Virginian for a good deal of time, not anymore, but you have recently been a Virginia.

And, of course, there's a lot of news coming out of your former state.
