Café in its best form, with Cuba worth every café of Knofftrock zum genuss mo...

With the 9 Cuba-Wan Capsule Machine from Chibo,

it is known to be the most special café in the world.

Full-Mondical Arômen, Dank Innovative Press Blue Technologie, and with 17-Sorten Café for every match. Elébe Premium Café is already in the 19th century. And here is the Cuba-Capsule Machine, in your Chibo 4th year and in Chibo D.E. The president is going to be attending the game this evening and New Yorkers can have.

I swear to God, listen to your name, everybody put up a song for them. They are not the last P*tch-whip! We're gonna boot up P*tch-whip outta you bro. [screaming] You know, in New York no matter what your race-color or career... Well, we all sound just a little metallic.

I'm not sure there was really funny at all, John Stewart, and he used to actually laugh at some of the things you said. Hmm, good dry though. Because he's a liberal, he'll get a participation ribbon, and wear it proudly. It's the Chris Blancho, Michael Pelka, sitting in front of my friend Chris Platt,

the morning after Donald Trump put another first on his list of accomplishments. President Trump attending an NBA Finals game last night in New York City,

and some of the media are still upset about it.

Some of the media sizzling with anger, and it's really just silly. That's just 'cause they hate the guy. Stephen A. Smith, someone who is talked about President Trump, and talked about running for President himself, Stephen A. That's the cool kid's column, was speculating all kinds of ways

that the President's presence could be a problem,

which always makes me laugh.

'Cause really, do you think the next looking up at the President and saying, "Oh, we better win because he's here?" I don't think so. I watched the New York Nicarbocters and the San Antonio Spurs during the National Anthem, if you watched it on TV,

you saw the cameras go through all of this, really kind of interesting. The most of the players were fairly respectful. I thought that was kind of nice to see. There was one guy for the Spurs, who had a basketball in his hands, and was throwing the basketball back and forth from one hand

to the other as the Anthem was playing. And I'm saying, are you aware this is kind of the time you should just be standing still, and I thought maybe he's one of those people that can't focus. Maybe he's got the attention deficit issue

and he can't deal with it. But all in all, it was pretty good night. There were people that say the President got booed. He did. There were people who say the President got cheered.

He did. He got cheered and booed. That's what happens. And the President was asked about it last night on the tarmac about the reception he received. Cut one, please.

What did you think of the reception we got in the Midwest?

I do it great.

I mean, I thought it was amazing, actually.

You remember when they had the camera on me? I thought it was very good. It was certainly amazing. So I think mostly cheers. It was loud and it was very enthusiastic.

It was enthusiastic. And there was a mixture of cheers and booze. And there were times if you listened to it and maybe they tweaked the audio, depending on which channel you were watching.

But there was a wave of boing, a wave of cheering, a wave of boing. It seemed like it was back and forth. As if there were competing entities who were trying to get their message across.

I don't think he was incorrect on that. But the other interesting thing that happened is before yesterday, we had Stephen A. Smith talking about this game and the President's presence. If it causes the New York next to win to lose the night,

I'm blaming him. I'm blaming the President of the United States. I'm a stay on that. I'm a stay on that. And damn it, I hope the GOP lose votes

because of it if we lose tonight. And I'm going to be against him all of it. I'm telling you that right now. You've been out of tonight's game. We've been out of tonight's game.

So Stephen A, saying that if the next lose and the debt was very close to game, hotly contested all the way to the very end. If you state of a watch that you know,

Stephen A, blaming President Trump.

Well, President Trump was asked about that very statement

on the tarmac last night as well.

This is a very SDN commentator Stephen A Smith who is talking

about running for President. He said he would blame you with the next law for the game. How do you respond to that? I think he's a nice guy. But you need a certain aptitude to run for President.

You need a high IQ. I'm not sure that Stephen has said. I don't think he does actually. I can't wait for Stephen A Smith's response to that. You have to have an eye.

High IQ to be present. I'm not sure if he's got it. Although the president still being respectful. He's a nice guy who wouldn't want to be called a nice guy by the president of the United States.

Very interesting back and forth.

And there's still people saying the president fell asleep last night, briefly during the game. There is one clip that seems to show President Trump not moving for about seven or eight seconds. I don't know if that means he fell asleep.

We didn't see the thing that happens when somebody falls

asleep at a public event and they suddenly wake up and have that moment like where the heck am I? Like your head snaps as it's dropping forward. You snap your head back into the-- Oh, hey, what?

Didn't think that was happening. So I don't believe you fell asleep. Maybe he was trying to think about something. But the left will latch onto that. What do you think?

Triple eight, six, three, zero, nine, six, two, five. The comic mayor of New York, Mayor Momsdani got tickets to the game last night. And he was talking about, because it's a pretty interesting discussion of this. Momsdani was asked by a reporter about buying nix tickets.

And he said he bought them from the garden. I don't think you or I could do that.

But here's what the mayor said.

Burr, your own nix tickets. Can you tell us who you got them from and how much you paid for them? I bought my tickets for nearly $1,000 from Madison Square Garden. I'll be going to tonight's game three.

And I'll be standing for the duration of the game. I'll be standing. I'll be saying, but $1,000 standing room only ticket, which is interesting, because if you were I attempted to buy a ticket, we were told the cheapest ticket

available last night was about five times that number. A lot of money, there were follow-ups to the question to the mayor about his $1,000 SRO ticket. Just to follow-up, when were those standing room only tickets released?

Sorry? When were the standing room tickets released? When were you able to purchase them? We purchased them directly from the organization itself. So I'm not answering the question.

Anytime someone tries to get you to repeat the question, it's because they don't like the question typically. You know, there may be a chance they didn't hear it. But usually, when someone goes, excuse me, and they want you to repeat it, they're buying time.

So they come up with the appropriate answer, because they don't like the question. They don't want to answer the question. So Mom Donnie was definitely doing that when he said, sorry, and the reporter repeated the question,

when did those tickets become available?

When were the standing room only tickets released, too?

The insider's like you? He didn't answer the question. The next question tried to pin him down as well. You were saying that you purchased a standing room only ticket, I'm just not familiar.

Did you get like a discount from the garden through that? Or was that just something used? Bottom line on like ticket master? So that's something that I purchased directly from the Madison Square Garden, close to a thousand dollars

was the price of it, and standing room only is just a section that I'll be standing in. The reporters are sensing mendacity here. The reporters are sensing that they're not getting the entire story here.

And I actually appreciate that they pressed on this, because they do think it's important to press this guy, especially when he's not answering the questions. Another reporter asked the president about getting the chance to meet with President Trump at this event.

Are you going to the meeting with the president while he's here in New York City? When it comes to the president, I don't have any scheduled meeting with the president. However, I'm sure that our conversations

will continue about how to serve the president. And they probably will. President Trump really would like New York to thrive while he is president. I know that.

And it's kind of an interesting contradiction to have, Mom Donnie there, and want to help the people of the city of New York, where President Trump is from, and make New York look successful. But it's difficult when you've got the county mayor.

Very interesting.

The other thing about this, when Mom Donnie says he bought the standing room only ticket, and he bought it directly from the garden itself. Again, he didn't tell any of the reporters who pressed him on it when the tickets were available.

Completely doubted your question. If you watch the game last night, there was kind of a weird moment where one of the next players tumbled into the stands during some of the action, and fell on former mayor, Mike Bloomberg, who was there, court side.

Mike Bloomberg, who's not a young guy. Was hit by one of these guys landed on.

He looked a little shaken up at first and they checked on him.

He was okay. But there was an empty seat next to Bloomberg. Nobody was sitting there. And I'm wondering why the garden didn't move Mom Donnie down to court side.

And you have to believe it's because Mom Donnie,

not that he wouldn't want the court side ticket. I don't think he wants the questions about how can you be the mayor of the people when you get to court side up great. Really, very interesting, empty seat next to Mom Donnie. The Mom Donnie presence was noticed by Jimmy Fallon on late night TV.

Cut, eight, please. The big story surrounding tonight was that Trump decided to attend the game here at Madison Square Garden. Trump was going to say court side, but officials were afraid the players would start dribbling his head.

That's not fun. Is that a makeup comment on Trump's skin tone that he has the skin tone of a basketball? I'm just wondering I'm asking because I really need to understand. I want to understand where the comedy comes from. Yeah, they're going to start dribbling his head.

And the audience laughs, like very beautiful. People in, of course, over at ABC, Jimmy Kimmel had to pile on as well.

Donald Trump is the first sitting president ever to completely disrupt an NBA finals game in

person because he decided to go. They had canceled the watch party outside the garden. Republicans had to get their two hours early to get your security and Trump didn't even get to sit courtside for safety reasons. They put in behind bulletproof glass.

We are taping this show before the game. So we don't know what happened or who won. All we know for sure is that Trump is about as popular in New York as pineapple on pizza. Again, where is the comedy? Did we learn nothing, Jimmy Kimmel?

Did we learn nothing from the dismissal of Stephen Colbert?

He's fair game now that we could talk, since he's the only one left we could really mock him. That's just not funny. And the pineapple and pizza question, a hack thing, a hack line, I don't get it.

President Trump being the first, now had, had Joe Biden been the first president to attend

an NBA finals game. They would be all kissing his feet. And he would definitely not sit courtside. Secretures would not let that happen and why was the game or the watch party moved from outside of the garden?

You saw exactly why if you saw the fights going on in the nearby Bryant Park area where they moved one of the watch parties to, the police had to use pepper spray to stop fighting late in the game. We're fighting with each other. They can't behave.

The night before we had, I think, was five people stabbed in the complex, the subway exchange underneath. Crazy. Let's grab a couple phone calls before we get here to a break. Let's grab a couple calls, triple eight, six, three, zero, nine, six, two, five, Stewart

calling in Chicago, listening on the great WLS. Hello, Stewart. Hey, Mike, how are you? Good to talk to you again. Mike, I tried to get it.

My call in yesterday, and I have the perfect name for the new news network. It's called Khan, collected outcast news network. I like it, Mike. The Khan network. God, I like it.

That was great. I guess we thought about it. Very long and hard.

Stewart, if you work there, can you say you have a con job?

Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Very good. Very good.

Thank you, Stewart. Appreciate you being there. Read is calling from Spring Hills, Florida. Read, welcome to the Chris Plant Show. Hey, Mike, how's it going?

Good, sir. Good, sir. What's on the kind of weird, how the presses, how are they going to press a mayor? How much he pays for tickets? He did not stall, he did not, he did not stutter.

He answered the question directly, but then some people are making it an issue.

What if he was, he's a mayor of the city?

Yeah, somebody gave him a discount of tickets. Why are they making an issue out of something as simple as this? Well, I thought the reporter, he didn't call or snoop it. He didn't say anything that Trump did, but yet you're trying to make a sound like if this something like some kind of conspiracy.

No, I'm not trying to say it's a CON conspiracy, what I'm trying, what I pointed out was not how much he paid for it, what I was pointing out, because when you buy a ticket directly from the venue, it's generally cheaper than when you buy it from ticket mass.

That's how that works, and they were trying to say when did those tickets become available?

That was the question that kept getting asked. It wasn't about the cost, it was about the when, because the when matters. And it matters those people, I was happy they did that. Sometimes you don't look for problems where they don't exist, read and life is better. But thank you for calling, trip late 60s, 09625, it's Michael Pelka, in for Chris Blancho.

Welcome back to the Chris Blancho, Chris is on vacation this week, Michael Pelka is sitting in. Thanks to everybody's tuning in, and Tim Miller just wrote me, I asked a question, send me a message on social media, retired military guy, I love hearing from all the military people out there. Tim said I saw a real Donald Trump at the game, and it looked like he closed his eyes,

but it didn't look like he was sleeping, it looked like he was finally able to relax,

which I was glad to see, and then I saw him turn to talk to someone on his right, which

he did, so the people are saying this is a sleep. Now the left is still all up in arms over President Trump being at the event, and last night Rachel Madel used a portion of her show to highlight what she thought was happening, especially talking about when the president was being booed as he arrived his motorcade arrived.

Do you want to see the warm warm welcome the president of the United States got tonight when he decided to pretend to be a basketball fan? Because he wanted to go to the NBA finals in New York tonight, you want to see how much New Yorkers appreciated Donald Trump making them all come to the game hours early, forcing everyone to go through tons of extra screening.

And they're waving at you with just one finger, it doesn't mean the same as another kind of wave.

How cool my goodness, how dare anyone in New York ever experience a person using the

middle finger? Really? Come on, let's be honest, there's 70% of the people who live in that part of the country voted for Donald Trump. Are you shocked?

There's more madness for Madel and more untruthful statements, will break up down and show you the real truth just around the corner. It's Michael Pelka in for Chris Plant on the Chris Plant Show. It is the Chris Plant Show, welcome back Michael Pelka in for Chris Plant this week to seize vacation and trying to get to everything and thanking all of you for being

here. Welcome to join us, triple eight, six, three, zero, nine, six, two, five, jasmines on the phones, Michael Peercy, keeping me on the rails or a trying to. We've been talking about some of the controversy, a legit controversy about President Trump attending the NBA finals game last night.

The next lost for the first time in the postseason this year and some people are blaming

him, Steven a Smith blaming him and there are a lot of people that are questioning whether or not the president was booed or cheered during the National Anthem when the camera showed him on the television and also on the Gondola video in the garden. He was saluting, at least he was standing and saluting there. And I say as the commander and chief thought that was very cool.

There were cheers, there were booze, but if you're a member of the left side of the mainstream media, all you hear when you see President Trump is booing, it's got to be some kind of reaction that is constant among all of those who dislike the guy, all of the people suffering from TDS. I imagine if you go in for a TDS evaluation, you know, they hold up a picture of President

Trump and if you immediately start booing or say you're hearing booing in you...

one of the indicators, one of the symptoms.

Rachel Madow was talking about this last night talked about how some of the people in the streets of New York reacted to the president's motorcade arriving with booing and flipping the bird. There are other videos that you can see online from several different conservative social media outlets that say, people were cheering.

And there are parts of New York that would cheer. Absolutely, it's a president of the United States. So Rachel Madow then went on and on about the hatred shown to the president, cut 16, please. Big New York, welcome tonight to President Donald Trump at the Nick's Spurs and B.A.

final scheme, Trump likes to claim that New York loves him, New York does not.

And then hadn't for the record, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance got 17% of the vote in the presidential election in 2024, not 70%, 17%. Which means given the choice between Donald Trump and allowing yourself to be pluped upon by the big drops of greasy water that drip out of the back of window-mounted air conditioners

onto the sidewalk in the summer, I think New Yorkers would have to think hard about it,

not sure which one seems worse. What a lovely image has someone who lives in New York City in Manhattan for 20 plus years. I do know the breakdown of Madow saying that Trump got 17% of the vote in New York City in the five boroughs. Now that kind of tracks, because there are only eight Democrats for every registered Republican.

So that kind of works right along that line.

If you're a Republican, there are eight Democrats to counter you there. And Rachel Madow couldn't wait to play the clip of the president being booed during the national anthem. Try to see him arrive in it the garden one more time, just one more time, here it is. Donald Trump being lustily booed when he arrived at the venue tonight in New York.

This was him being booed inside the venue when people spotted him during the national anthem. It's kind of smile through it, let's maybe if they have a nickname for me, that has an oo sound in the middle of it, maybe that's what that is.

She's very creative, but when you only work one night a week, I think that's what she works

one night a week and then she has to do all nighters when there are elections happening. The Democrats, they just want to dunk on Trump whenever they get the opportunity to especially at a situation like this. No shock. The president is a basketball fan, though, despite what Madow said at the very beginning

of that. She was intent on saying that he's pretending to be a basketball fan. He's not pretending to be a basketball fan. He's been a basketball fan for quite some time. In fact, the NBA commissioner cleared it up last night was talking about it in the pre-game.

The NBA commissioner was on the actual court with the pre-show talking about everything, clearing up any questions about Donald Trump's legitimacy as an NBA fan. This is Adam Silver. And I'll also say about President Trump, you know, I've been with the league for a long time.

I ran NBA entertainment. Years ago, he did an I love his game spot with us. He was a fixture at NBA in Madison Square Garden.

You guys remember who all of you, when you played here, not dream on, but back in the old

days he had four side seats. He was here all the time. He was at draft, so he's a genuine nicks fan. So not telling the truth, Rachel Madow, but not exactly a surprise that you were. And telling the truth, Adam Silver, saying Donald Trump, in fact, been a nicks fan for

a long time. And there is a ton of video to back all of that up. Hopefully that'll put this to bed. I don't think it will. The left will continue on this bent for quite some time.

We have to get to some of the other big news that's breaking today. As I said, today is going to be an important day as there are primaries being held everywhere, not everywhere. But in a few places around the country, we have big primaries going on the one that's getting the most attention, of course, is the main primary where you have Susan Collins who's pretty

Much running unopposed, but the Democrat, Graham Platner, who is heavily favo...

his primary seat now, even though we know so much more about him, but so much of the vote

has already come in well ahead of the election today.

Now that doesn't mean they can't get rid of the guy once this is over, I believe they

have to early June to replace him. And maybe it's when his new book comes out. I think the book is called "Main Comf. I'm not sure. I have to double check that.

It might be. Wouldn't that be funny if he had a book called "Main Comf?"

But Platner, Platner, should easily score his primary win.

His competition dropped out, suspended her campaign, didn't drop out. So she's lurking there. Janet Mills could jump up and take that spot if they decide they need to abandon him. Which they might? I mentioned something earlier that Apple is making a big change if you're a person who

has a cell phone and kids and kids with cell phones, one of the things that everyone worries about is that your kids are being contacted by people adults that are creeping. I think that's the nicest way you could put it. And remember, Platner was on a social media outlet sending pictures of himself with a towel wrapped around him in a bathroom and allegedly making contact with young women.

Now, we didn't say there were underage women, but there were possibilities. They said this was kind of a peto network that was out there. He said he knew all the women he contacted and sent messages to were adults. They were of age. But how do you protect your kids?

Don't give them a cell phone number one, but there was a report. Last night on CBS, it was kind of interesting as Apple has made a very big announcement about cell phones. If you're a parent, I think this is a big stinkin' news. Now to some big news from Apple today, the company announcing new safety features for

kids and parents changing how they will use their devices. Senior business and tech correspondent, Joellen Kent, tells us what's new. So before they tell you what's new here, what edition of the Apple phone is out now? I believe it's number 17, this is a 17th version of the Apple iPhone that's out at least that's the latest number, and I checked it, it happened to be an Apple consumer.

If Apple has known that kids are being contacted on cell phones, why did it take to number 17 before we fix this? Just asking a question. This year, we're taking a big step, expanding our child's safety features. Apple is rolling out a major software update with new parental controls.

We're giving parents powerful, easy-to-use tools to help manage what kids can see, who

they can talk to, and when they have access. What a great idea, and why the heck did you come up with this before now?

I'm applauding all these companies for doing this, I think it's really important.

What needs to be really stressed is that kids don't need cell phones. We've seen school districts that have been cell phones in the classrooms during classes have shown students improving, showing their skills in reading and math and science improving because they're not distracted by the phones, and I'm guaranteeing you that socially these kids behavior will be getting stronger as well.

Kids will be talking to each other instead of sending text messages, but on the parent end of this, if you can now limit what your kids have access to, and you know there's going to be some kid that has no parental restraint put on their phones, and your kids are going to want total freedom too, but let's face it, they're not safe enough by themselves. That's why they're kids, but I'm a plotting apple, and at the same time I'm wagging a finger

saying, why did it take you until the 17th edition of your phone to get this done? Why? Was it because it was inconvenient? Just saying, just a raise to the question. If you're a parent who's daily with us, I know how difficult it is to tell a kid you can't have a cell phone, and the

benefits are going to be there, you just have to be stronger than the kid. You have to have more

patients than the kid, but you know that I'm sure my copier syndrome knows that as well. I'm not a parent, but I work with the children's theater, and I see the kids are in the phones constantly day and night. The other story that we have talked about kind of related to this is a

Really interesting poll out of Gallup that looks at America and Americans, an...

the moral acceptability of a bunch of common behaviors. This is really interesting. This is a

breakdown of where Americans stand in viewing certain behaviors, things like unmarried men and women having sex, gay and lesbian relationships, a medical research using stem cells, on human embryos, or from human embryos, having a child outside of marriage, gambling, the death penalty, all these subjects are in there, and the moral acceptability of behaviors. And in the middle of

this in this study, I think it's kind of important as we are nine days into pride month,

pride month, which covers the LGBTQ or STVU community, the Alphabet community, and the American view of one of the letters in that Alphabet, the T, the, and I don't accept this. You can't change your gender, but the acceptability of changing one's gender in terms of being morally acceptable

or not has changed considerably in the last five years. The trend is just amazing. When Gallup

asked a question, is it morally acceptable to change someone's gender? 38% now say yeah, but 57% are saying it's wrong. And in back in 2021, just five years ago, there was only a five-point differential there. In 2025, there was a 14-point differential. And right now in 2026, there is a 19-point differential. Americans are starting to realize the madness of the T in the LGBTQ community.

It's madness. And I've got another little sidebar to that, and that is the Texas

Candidate, the Texas Democrat Candidate, for the Senate, Tolerico, Tolerico, whatever you want to call him, he has suddenly switched and decided that he is not supporting transgender for kids. You know, James, I hear consistent tropes about you being way too liberal for Texas,

that you are pro-sex surgery for minors, on and on and on. How do you respond to that?

Well, just on that particular accusation, I oppose gender reassignment surgeries for minors. So now he's openly against gender reassignment surgery for minors. He has famously been quoted as saying he "love strands" children. And now he's saying he opposes gender reassignment surgeries for minors or what thinking people call mutilation of children. Anything to get power. Democrats will do anything, say anything to get power. Really interesting,

but it's nice to see that the opinions of Americans overall are finding

there isn't moral acceptability of telling people that you can change your gender.

And that tells me common sense is starting to win. You just got to keep hitting people with the facts. And when we get back, I want to hit you with some of the facts that appears Morgan sat down on his show with someone to ask them to translate what LGBTQ2 plus plus the whole thing. What does it mean? And the person he asked happened to be one of those letters of that alphabet suit. One of the funniest clips we asked for and we'll break it down. This is Michael Pelke,

in for Chris Plant and the Chris Plant Show. And the person who is with you is a fan coupon. So how the chances of attractive surprise. So let's start with the fan bonus in the review. Only at 18.7.

Last night.

billmark. Somebody I disagree with on many many topics. And in the case of Pierce Morgan,

he doesn't understand the second amendment, not even a little bit. But he has common sense when it

comes to things like the madness of the acceptance of craziness when it comes to genders. And Pierce Morgan had a gentleman on his show who is part of the LGBTQ community, the lesbian gang by sexual community. But Pierce wanted to know if this guy could define the entire alphabet, the LGBTQ alphabet. And it got interesting. It's LGBTQ plus. No, it's LGBTQ IA2S L plus. Right. LGBTQ I plus was whatever.

What is it? Sure. What is it any event mean? What are you now going to test me on what that is?

Yeah. That's amazing. No two means two spirit. That's right. So this is Michael Nulls who's also

on the show with Pierce Morgan. Michael Nulls who couldn't be more head of sexual if you asked him to be. And he understands it more than the member of the LGBTQ community. Is that one? Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What sort of queer or questioning? And then

also intersects asexual. Okay. I wish you would ask them what's it intersects. Because I don't know

anyone who can explain that either. But go ahead. Because it's old. It's just a silly madness.

And then, and then two spirit. Yeah, two spirit. Yeah. What's that? I think that is a

American, you know, I think you'd be listening. I don't know what the listen was selling right. Yeah, we're celebrating something, but you people. And I think it's okay to use you. People here have no idea what the hell it is. In the interest of pride, I'll tell you what it is. Oh, great. They say that two spirit was this ancient Native American sexual identity.

Thank you. But it's not actually. It was invented. How does Michael Nulls know this and you guys?

Because you know, when people talk about things like two spirit, whatever. And I start to say we're like an enterprise, whatever I want. I do the old. Okay, I want to be a two spirit penguin. And then you all go, well, that's ridiculous. I love it when he points out how ridiculous it is. And that's the clarity that needs to be brought to this issue, which it probably explains why the Gallup poll now shows we are rejecting the insanity that anyone can change their gender.

Because sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. It's Michael Pelka in for Chris Plant on the Chris Plant show.
