And it is the Chris Plant Show.

Slightly delayed but not denied. Michael Pelka in for my friend, the vacation in Chris Plant. As you may recall earlier the week, some of the technical bugs got to us just a little bit.

But I believe we have, we have sorted it out.

That's our British friends would say. And we are going to attempt to give you the Chris Plant Show at full strength albeit shy of 30 minutes. So thank you for tolerating it. What a day to have it delayed. I was like that that proverbial racehorse in the gate waiting for the gate to fly open.

So I could sprint down the straightaway in hopes of finishing first, not to be today.

So it is the morning after President Trump's speech that I guess very few people got to see it because so many of the members of the mainstream media decided that we didn't need to see it. So many members of the mainstream media decided they weren't going to cover it. They were going to cover it up which seems to be what they want to do when they don't like who's in charge.

And that's disturbing to me because I think you as a voter once you hit the age of 18,

you are capable of making decisions, you're capable of hearing something and deciding whether or not it's provocera, deciding whether or not it's worth your time to watch it. But last night nine o'clock advertised for several days. We knew this was coming.

This was not an emergency address from the President.

This was the President of the United States saying, "I need to talk to the nation." I have no information to share with them. And we are going to try and share that with you and you're going to be shocked. I think that was the term that was used yesterday by the press secretary. It was used by the President several times before.

And frankly, last night I will tell you the speech was brief, but it also was very stern. It was not accusations of a voter fraud in Georgia, which some of us might have said we expected to hear after all of the shenanigans went on in 2020 in the state of Georgia. It was not an indictment of Pennsylvania, even though those of us who know people in Pennsylvania, who witnessed some of the craziness that surrounded the vote counting Pennsylvania, expected

that, no. This was the speech that talked at great length about serious questions that have to do with our elections and our election integrity. And as we are a few of the four months from the midterm elections, the left would have you think that this was a great violation of the people's trust.

In fact, Gavin Newsom, one of the guys who thinks he's going to be a 20, 28 contender, Gavin Newsom, could not wait to get out on the social media with a post about Trump's speech last night. Considering it happened at six o'clock in the evening on the west coast, it was still daylight out.

So Newsom could put on his casual clothes and get out in his backyard and hold his phone up and make what is one of the, I think one of the more bizarre claims against what President Trump had to say last night, Gavin Newsom cut 15, please, guys.

Well, the only thing missing tonight in Donald Trump's speech was tinfoil.

This was a legitimate 25th Amendment moment. The ramblings of a mad king, don't come here wrong for an interference in our elections. That's a real thing, nothing about what you watched tonight though was real. It's make believe. He wants to rig the election in 2016, knows he's going to lose.

He needs to rig the election before one vote was cast. That's what that whole thing was about tonight. This is a serious and profound moment where we can either spread a cynicism, fear, anxiety or we can step up and step in mobilize, organize, not agonized and turn out and record numbers this November and end Donald Trump's presidency as we know it.

We can do that together. See, I think that last portion is what the Democrats are focused on, ending Donald Trump's presidency. He does add as we know it because they know that if they do get control of the house

And/or the Senate, that Donald Trump will effectively become a lame duck, but...

Newsom said yesterday saying that this was fiction, the people of California, the people

who watched this video of Gavin Newsom, well, they likely didn't get to see the address.

They likely didn't hear President Trump talking about the quarter of a million foreign nationals

who are not American citizens who were registered to vote all around the country in federal elections. So that's kind of a problem I would think and considering the fact that so many of the blue states are not turning over election data, this is just from red states that cooperated with the administration on trying to make sure our voter roles are legitimate, that's a

problem.

And the White House declassified a bunch of emails yesterday that showed members of the NSA deliberately

hid Intel assessments from President Trump in 2020, Intel assessments that said China was trying to influence the election in favor of Biden deliberately messaged, they're not they're redacted in some places to keep identity held, but one national intelligence officer in the cyber division wrote, I think I mentioned to you that there is some pending that makes it clear China has been caught conducting election influence. This is in an NSA document recently

this class declassified by the president yesterday, at least that's how it was described to us.

But as you scroll up note that the NSA is, quote, deliberately messaged our one pending

PDB president's daily briefing to avoid any direct links to the election close quote. That is a quote from one of the documents declassified last night that said the president's daily briefing was deliberately massaged, meaning they changed it to avoid any direct links to the election, the information they had. And this goes on and on and on. This is just one of the many documents that was released. So for Gavin Newsom to say that this is Bravo's here or for Gavin Newsom to

say that this is just not real, that this is fictional while he's lying to people. He's lying. And it truly is disgusting. It truly is to me election interference and for anyone not to cover this is speaking quite openly that they don't trust the process. Joe Biden back in 2020. If we recall, he may not recall, but we recall because the internet is forever. Thank you, Jesus. Joe Biden back in 2020 talked about foreign interference

in our elections quite clearly and he was very stern and he also had a warning to any foreign country if they did metal in our elections. Cut 16, please, guys. Any country no matter who it is, it interferes in American elections will pay a price. They will pay a price. It's been overwhelming to clear this election. I won't get him to the last one. This election that Russia has been involved, China has been involved with some degree. And now we learn that Iran has involved. They will

pay a price if I'm elected. So, last night don't Trump said that China was involved in meddling in our elections. Last night President Trump talked about documents and data intelligence. So many things we have that claim that China has been involved in our elections.

And he has been criticized roundly by the left. Gee, are there memories worse than Joe Biden's?

Have there memories failed them? Worst than Joe Biden's memory is failing him at this point? I wonder if Biden even remembers making that statement. Be interesting to go back and show that

To him and see if he said, who's that guy?

Stunning. Well, we'll get into some of the CNN coverage or non coverage. We'll get into some

of the reaction from MS 13 now because they were also curiously absent from showing this. It's so disgusting to be to hear how the mainstream media, the people who like to call themselves legacy media are taking this speech from an elected president, a guy who the people spoke up for and elected. Well, CNN tried to throw water on the cold water on the speech before it started with Caitlin Collins standing up in front of God and everybody yesterday and telling us they're

not going to show it and why? Well, they offered this, this little montage. We'll be monitoring

what the president says tonight as we always do, but aren't taking it live given the president has a

well-documented history of saying blatantly false things about elections. So she teed it up, right?

Oh, yeah, he's got a well-documented history. So cue the well-documented montage of the president using the word rigged. It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that they found that. People will soon be prosecuted for what they did. It was a rigged election. It was a rigged election. I say it was rigged. Don't hit 2021. Look at the facts that are coming at rigged crooked elections. Well, that's his opinion and now we have some data, some intelligence, some actual

emails inside that show that may have been something pretty accurate. And after that montage aired,

Collins followed up with this. We'll be monitoring what the president says tonight as we always do,

but aren't taking it live given the president has a well-documented history of saying blatantly

false things. Not that one, this one. Tonight the White House is also releasing newly declassified

documents and we will analyze those so we can provide context around them. Our team is going through them actually right now as we speak and we'll bring you all the news for the moments from the president's speech and from those documents this hour as we talk about it with my fellow reporters and experts. So CNN took the speech as delivered. Usually speeches like this get sent to news outlets with an embargo on actually releasing the text until it is delivered and most of

them generally will respect Ben embargo and the links to some of the documents that were posted on White House.gov last night with a lot of this, a lot of this information the president outlined. But CNN told us they will monitor the speech and they will tell you what's newsworthy. We will share

with you the information that we believe you need to know. We will spoon feed you

because you you're just not capable. You're not us. You're not part of the mainstream media. I'd love to get your thoughts on last night's speech, the address from the president. I wanted something slightly different. I wanted it a little more. I guess here's the data and here's where the rest are coming and here's where the investigations come and maybe this is step one. We'll talk about it. Scrolling with Hayland. I'm Hayland, I'm Hayland Carania. I scrolled with the homies here in the

live chat because there's a lot to scroll through on X on Instagram on TikTok, cutting through the clutter. One hot take at a time. Love seeing you all in the chat before the show. I tried to jump in just a few minutes before to say hello. I love the chat interaction. Thank you for helping. But I do it to get all of the videos and all of the content that you won't find anywhere else. Scrolling with Hayland to search that up and I will be there. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

I'd love to get your take on it. A triple 86309625888609625. Let's grab one before we get in here. David and Woodbridge, Virginia welcome to the Chris Plant Show, David. I'm Michael, thank you very much. I know you I know that you used Chris this morning. I was listening and talking about flying in F-60s and F-18. Relocated obviously from but usually they'll call in from the people's Republic of Falls church but taking a breather down here

in beautiful Trump country, southern Manassus and Prince William County. In my opinion, Michael President did not go far enough last night. I was kind of moderately not impressed.

He could have mentioned some of the things that several serious scholars know...

election was rigged in 2020, including the famous hammer and scorecard technologies that were

created by a CIA contractor to manipulate foreign elections and then co-opted and used by two very well-known traders in this country, one who was former station chief in Saudi Arabia and the CIA and then

became head of the CIA, I think you know who I mean and his buddy in crime, Jay C, who was retired

Air Force, we kind of general who co-opted this technology to create the way to manipulate elections here in this country and transfer that to a foreign country, a lot of the country in Asia as we might understand and a couple other countries. Jay, to be fair, in a brief speech like this,

it's kind of hard to dive that deeply into kind of a very heavy statistical information,

but I do think the president could have been benefited in his presentation if that's even the term to be used. He could have gotten great benefit out of some visual aids to show just how many people were affected by this, just how many. If you have a quarter of a million votes that are people that are registered to vote here that shouldn't be, that means another quarter million legitimate voters votes will be canceled out by them and now you've got a half a million

that we know about and I think sometimes those big posters we see in the house and the Senate when they hold them up and do a little grandstanding, some of that I think is beneficial, but if we start getting into the deep dives on this, a lot of people's eyes glaze over because

we all got exhausted from the talk of the election meddling in 2020 and we never got any traction on it.

So this is one of the things I think overall the people get tired of. I do think the issue is critical towards securing our elections. I do believe the president tried to make a case at the very end

that when he said you need to call your senator and your congressperson and tell them past the

saver america that's really only about the senator, but we'll see. We'll see what the people think. I'll triple eight six three zero nine six two five. Chris is on holiday. It's Michael Pelka in sitting for sitting in for my friend Chris Plant here on the Chris Plant Show. It is Chris Plant Show. Michael Pelka in for my friend Chris Plant. He's on vacation. I'm happy to be here. He's getting away from a DC and the Canadian smoke filled ash filled air

that is blanketing the northeast. I know we're proposing some kind of bill to send to Canada for the cleanup on this and they're going to tell us go away. I'm sure that they're going to tell us to pound sand on it. But it is one of those things that if you have breathing problems in you're in the northeast, try and stay inside today. Listen to the radio, at least for the next couple of hours. We've got a lot to get to more on the president's address last night, what the

media covered, what they didn't cover. I think at the end of the day, the president was trying to make

this case. Our elections are not secure. Our elections are still a hot mess. All kinds of potential problems that could be violating what we like to consider a sacred process. And he called for people to reach out to their elected officials to ask them, "Please, past the Save America Act." I'm dubious. I don't think they're going to get that across the finish line. I'd be happy if they did. But until you tidy up the elections, there are going to be questions about the

integrity in those elections. We'll do a deeper dive on that. Plus, we have to talk about the crazy debate between the candidates to replace Graham Platner for the main Senate race. The Democrat candidate who had to drop out because the Nazi tattoo, the alleged rape, all that problem. Well, main has certainly stepped up and given us quite a selection of candidates. But the voters won't get to pick 'em. 600 delegates will select who will run against Susan Collins. We'll get into

all of it. It's opelka and for plant on the Chris Rancher.

Good place we're at.

to know for this summer's World Cup. How special is it that we've been able to follow this

young group of guys? It's been such a roller coaster of emotion. Did you go feel the intensity?

White a bit of time, energy effort, everything along the way on these guys, making the country proud.

And I think they will be the songer. The US soccer podcast presented by Henko.
