7-17-26 Hour 2 - Joe and Mika don't like Trump Election speech

Do you believe that the Russians interfered

in the 2016 campaign election?

“Well, they metled, but I think China metled too.”

And I think China metled too. And you want to know something? Why do you say China? Why don't you just say the Russians metled? Because I think China metled also.

And I think, frankly, China is a bigger problem. We're diverting the whole Russian thing, doing anything. I'm not saying Russia, but I'm also saying China. So, lastly, stall, what say you today? I'd like to know.

And welcome to the Chris Plant Show, Michael Pelke. And for my friend, Chris Plant, he's on-- I think it's a crew somewhere. I don't know, we'll find out. But I'm happy to be here thrilled to be here, honored to be here

after last night's address from the present to the nation that the keepers of information.

“I'm talking about the left side of the mainstream media.”

The people who believe that you are incapable of making decisions yourself, but they need to be the arbiters of what is truth, and what is worthy of being in your head. Those people decided, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, and in some ways, CBS, they were in and out of the speech,

decided that you couldn't handle the truth, that you weren't capable of dealing with it. Because you're probably worried about this digestive track illness that is sweeping the nation. It's mostly centered in Michigan, of course, we know.

And now they know that they kind of know what is the origin. So a lot of people didn't get to see the speech last night. I watched all of it.

It didn't take that long. It was kind of a little heavy handed in my opinion. I wanted the present to use more visual aid. Some posters up there saying, you see this? These are the states that won't tell us

if their voter rolls are safe. These are the states that are vulnerable. These are the states that we know China has messed with. That Russia may be messing with as well. And it's all about an election integrity.

If you don't have a secure election, how can you have any kind of trust in the process? It truly is troubling, really troubling. But we'll get into it. And you can join the conversation as well.

Triple 8, 63096258886909625. We, of course, shared just a couple of clips earlier about how the mainstream media decided that they were going to be the gatekeepers on this. But that is the function of editors.

And anyone on the left who suspects that CBS has now become the tool of maga, because Barry Weiss

is basically the editor-in-chief.

“I think you should apologize because last night, CBS”

was as bad in my opinion, as ABC News, ABC News didn't show it. CBS decided they were going to just, oh, we're going to, we're going to come in and out of it. We're going to bounce in and out of it. I think it's a journalistic malpractice to say the least

what these guys did. And now the president has questioned whether or not the ABC News, NBC News, anybody who didn't show the speech should be continuing to be allowed to continue to broadcast on the broadcast air waves for free.

And the left, of course, is freaking out. And they say that the president is the enemy of free speech. When the media are the ones who are taking what the president says and putting a major spin on it, it truly is kind of crazy to me.

And maybe the leaders of the parade, the people that really are out there spewing disinformation, misinformation, et cetera, are the people over at MS 13 now. And I'm talking about Joe and Mecha,

because they really are, they are the face of MS 13 now. And they kick off the day over there. So we have to go to them for Scarborough with his reaction to Trump's speech last night. We're just going to hit the highlights of all the things

that were lies in misinformation and disinformation. Yeah, really might do an Instagram live fact.

Yeah, you know, well, here's the thing.

He didn't, he didn't prove what he wanted to prove.

He didn't prove anything about that we didn't already know before.

He spread a lot of disinformation.

“So you're claiming that he didn't prove anything.”

Well, there have been documents released that MS 13 now can easily go through and investigate to see if there is a there there. And it certainly seems like there are considerable numbers of people who appear to be connected to China

that are registered to vote in federal elections. We are connecting the dots on the election interference, the embedding in terms of the president's daily briefing that may have been massaged to hide China's connections inside. But it continued on MS MBC as Joe was getting ready to flip over to

Willie Geist, who was part of the morning Joe crew. And here what he had to say about it last night. Cut to please. To hear the president at his day to deliver

“Vladimir Putin's talking points for the east room”

of the White House in prime time was shocking.

And for a president who never admits a mistake or doesn't allow for criticism,

it was kind of a take down of his own administration who of course oversaw the 2020 elections. His administration, his intel agencies, he really laid out chapter and verse some of the failures of administration. Now the only problem with the self-partique is that none of it was true.

So interesting, Willie Geist is first of all upset about the spectacle of the east room. I wonder if Willie Geist was equally upset and equally disturbed. When Joe Biden had the death star speech in Philadelphia with the red background and the Marines and it was the most negative thing ever seen.

Willie Geist with the spectators, I'm very upset that the president speaks from the White House. I'm very upset.

“Would you have been more upset if he was at the resolute desk, Willie?”

Is there a degree of upsetiveness? I know it's not a word. The death that you could say. I'm very interested in talking about delivering Putin's talking points.

How is China interfering in elections in America, Vladimir Putin's talking points? I don't understand how that works out. And to say that none of it is true, none of it is true. Well, it wouldn't be a discussion of MS 13 now if we didn't have fun

with the always entertaining but rarely correct.

Make a present ski. I wonder if, make a watch the whole speech. Let me get back to our top story, although it was hard to. Was that exhausting to watch? I'm not sure I got through it all.

So we'll learn here. How did you get exhausted by 20 minutes? You do a show that's occasionally four hours, usually three hours. How are you exhausted by watching something? I don't understand it.

I really don't. But wait, there's more from Mika. President Trump had best made very exaggerated claims about election vulnerabilities. Last night in his prime time address that some networks didn't take. And in many cases, there were flat out lies that he spoke about.

The roughly 25 minutes speech coming just under four months until the midterm elections focused on conspiracy theories that his own intelligence agencies have repeatedly examined and rejected. The president declassified intelligence documents he suggested would prove his claims. Instead, the president overstated the details and made claims that did not match the actual

conclusions by the intelligence community. See, I don't know if that really rings true, Mika, as we've looked at some of the things that have been posted from the declassified information. For example, there is one snippet from the documents released that show an FBI leader, creating a shadow government to keep the Chinese penetration of the election systems

a secret from the president in 2020. So also to deal with what he got, will what he really got. Said the moment earlier in the clip saying that these are failures under Trump's administration. Well, if the deep state is running a shadow government across the FBI, then it's not really a Trump failure unless Trump knew about the deep state.

in 2020, stating she was, quote, basically running a shadow government, close quote,

by hiding information from Trump. This kind of goes back to the the two agents who were having the little office romance and wanted a guarantee that that president Trump an insurance policy, that president Trump wouldn't win the 2016 election. Well, we all know how that turned out. But it is stunning to me that that Willie guys would jump on this so quickly to say that. And what's also interesting is that

you know, we could go way back to when Hillary Clinton and Rachel Maddo over at MS 13 now,

we're talking about China interfering in the elections and Russia interfering in the elections.

“And it truly was bewildering. If you don't remember it, I have it for you.”

Look at the Trump White House and say, well, you know, the Russians probably didn't help them, you know, just whatever extent we may not yet know. So we're not going to go there. We're going to do what they tell us. Imagine Rachel that you had one of the democratic nominees for 2020 on your show. And that person said, you know, the only other adversary of ours, who's anywhere near as good as the Russians, is China. Wait a minute. Hillary Clinton is hinting

or did hint rather clearly that China would be a good target for election interference in 2020. So why should Russia have all the fun? And since Russia is clearly backing Republicans, why don't we ask China to back us? The Democrats, Hillary comes saying, I would just speculating

“and Rachel Maddo over there at MS 13 now, if you remember back, as I do, jumped on this idea as well.”

The back us. I hereby tonight ask China. That's right. And not only that, China, if you're listening, why don't you get Trump's tax returns? I'm sure our media would richly reward you. Now, according to the Mueller report, that is not conspiracy because it's done right out in the open. So if after this hypothetical democratic candidate says this on your show, within ours, all of a sudden the IRS offices are bombarded with incredibly sophisticated cyber tools looking for Trump's

tax returns and then extracts them and then passes them to whatever the new WikiLeaks happens to be and they start being unraveled and disclosed. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. They tell you exactly the playbook, don't they? Because they're just not afraid of any repercussions on it. It's it's maddening at best. So much, so much. I want to take a couple of calls here, triple eight, six, three, zero, nine, six, two, five, eight, eight, eight, six, three, zero, nine,

six, two, five. Let's go to Pete in the Napolis, Maryland. Pete, did you watch the speech last night and he thoughts on this? Hi, Michael, thank you for taking my call. You do a wonderful job.

“I know I didn't see the speech, but I think it's kind of interesting that the CNN and all the other”

channels that didn't show the speech are going to be the gatekeepers of the information. Make it determination as to what's fact and what's fiction. It's kind of interesting because they lied to us for four years back in 2016 with the 2016 election that there was Russian interference in the election. And of course it turned out to be a complete lie, but they shouldn't mind lying to us for four years and now we're suddenly supposed to believe them unless it's pretty pathetic,

but I just wonder Pete how, you know, you're in the business of being the mainstream media, you're supposed to be the mainstream media, you're supposed to be playing to as many people as possible and you're also publicly held corporation, then you want to be able to get a hundred

percent of the market. Why would you alienate 77 plus million people that voted for the president

when he said I want to talk to the country about the elections? I want to talk about election integrity and election security. Why would you do that? It doesn't make good business sense and it's absolutely stunning to me. I, you know, we'll get to you because I have the clip. The potato had Brian Stelter was on pre-bunky before the president even spoke. I guess they hired a mind reader.

Sponis dinner, kind of reading the mind of the president. He was pre-bunking what Donald Trump was

“going to say. It's mainly, absolutely maddening to me that they would think so little of 77 plus”

million Americans as to alienate them and say, we'll tell you what to think. You just sit there and

keep buying all the crap we advertise between our programs. I'm very interesting. Thank you, Pete. Great analysis on that interesting that scene was just so not interesting. Let me grab one more quick call because Steve is calling from Indiana. Steve, welcome to the Chris Plant Show. You had a thought about the Canadian fires and the ash, that's ASH, that they are delivering to us. Yeah, but you know, you stand hold and you get all these other thoughts about other things.

All I want to say is Marshal Marshal, I'm sorry, sir. Marshal, Marshal, Marshal, Marshal, Marshal, okay. But that, yeah, Micah, Micah said it was too long and, yeah, too long

“and too many details. I think it was too short and not enough details. The Republicans are horrible”

about getting their point across. Well, for me, it's not a drive, Steve. It's a short walk. So I get to crazy pretty quickly. But I got to take a break here. So what do you think we should do with the fires and Canada? We need to invade Canada. We put the damn fires out. This is a crazy year. See, I think, Steve, here's my take. I think this proves we don't need them as

a 50-first state. They can't manage their forest fires. I don't want them as a 50-first state.

Thank you, though, for those thoughts. It's Micah Pelk, I'm in for Chris Blant, on the Chris Blant Show. Ben, 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 Haley, to search that up and I will be there. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. It is the Chris Blant Show. Micah Pelk in from my friend Chris Blant and it's a Friday too. So I do feel it's incumbent upon me to wish you all a Friday, Louisia because we do celebrate

the end of the week. And even though it seems like there aren't many weekends these days,

it seems like the news is relentless. We will celebrate the weekend and hopefully get those of us in the northeast, hoping for a little bit of a break from the heat and Canadian silt they've been delivering. The awful haze that seems to blanket it, New York, Philadelphia, Delaware, DC, but all through Maryland too. I'm seeing some of the pictures you're sending. So let's hope we get through that. I do want to grab another call here because so many of you have

been on hold commenting on last night's speech from the present. We have other fun things to get through as Democrats have given us some very interesting statements, especially those in Maine. But I've run out of the clock in true Chris Blant that's Michael Pelk. It is the print and the pitch. Oh, Mike Pelk. In from my friend Chris Blant, happy to be here. Especially especially as we're launching into a week and God willing I'll be here

next week as well. So we can have some fun looking at yesterday and last night's speech from the president. I want to give you guys a chance to weigh in on some of this because it's very interesting that it appears to me CNN while they pre-bunked the speech with Brian Stelter. There also, they seem to be more obsessed with the story of the teleprompter operator who's alleged to have used his knowledge of what the president was going to say on many of his speeches

to make money in the calcium prediction market. I don't know if you saw this yesterday. But the guy that's run the teleprompter for Donald Trump for probably the better part of 10 years has been placed on a administrative leave because there are speculations that he used his knowledge whether it's illegal or not, we've yet to find out to make money on the prediction market.

Venezuelo attack. I just, I'm amazed at how much time CNN is spending on this and they have dedicated

“and a reporter to cover this to get into every little bit of this. And meanwhile, they're”

pre-bunking the speech and then not carrying it, cherry picking it, etc. We'll get into that a little bit more. But as I said, many of you have been holding a triplet 6309625. Let's check in with Liz and now Alexandria Virginia. Hello, Liz. Welcome to the Chris plant show. Hi, good morning. I have a quick comment about yesterday's political activity on the speech. Yeah. On the Benny Johnson show yesterday and you get it on rumble or YouTube halfway through his show. He had a guess by the name

of Gary Burton-B-E-R-N-T-S-E-N retired CIA intelligence with the blower and he described exactly what has been going on for at least 15 years about the manipulation of elections and how they're being stolen. And halfway through the show would be the timestamp of 43.04 and beyond. You go halfway through the show and that's the number you see to start his. Oh, so Liz, let me ask you. This Gary Burton whistleblowing, is he talking about not manipulating votes, not taking election machinery

because President Trump did not make any comments about the election counting devices being altered and that is he's not talking about any of that, is he? Well, he was talking about he was directly

“involved in the Venezuela situation and I think he mentioned the latest one in 2024. They were”

able to stop the the manipulation there but he also mentioned they're doing manipulation now in Colorado but if people can go to that podcast and listen, it's interesting. Well, really, thank you.

Let's one second. I appreciate your support for Benny Johnson but if we look at what the White House

has put out today, they they do have a post on the White House.gov as relates to election integrity, the Impresence and Tire addresses there as well as the statement about electronic voting machines and there there wasn't any call last night from the president that voting machines were manipulated

“and that's where I think we lose any ground in trying to clean up our elections because we all”

go back to a few years ago when the people that were in those lawsuits over those machines that count the votes and the people over at Fox News know all too well as they got hit with an

787 million dollar judgment. So while there are questions about electronic voting, yes huge

questions but all of those could be solved by same day paper ballot voting with minimal exceptions for mail-in ballots for people that are serving overseas in the military or people that are elderly or people that are in hospitals etc. So I do want to get as much information about our election integrity straightened out but I don't want us to fall backwards into looking at these machines again because it seems like that's where the eye rolling happens and that's where we

lose the argument because there are so many things that we need to clean up the president pointing out the 250,000 plus people that are illegally registered to vote in our federal elections and it's just something that if we don't fix it, if we don't get all of the states cleaning up their voter rolls then the vulnerability, the lack of credibility will continue but if anybody wants to track what Benny Johnson show had they can but I thank you for that statement on it I'm

all for whistleblowers I just don't want us to go down that rabbit hole again that's just me but thank you very much let's go to a Jeff in herndon Virginia Jeff. Hello welcome. Hello Michael Baca how are you doing sir? I'm good sir. Thank you thank you thank you what's yeah so I

pair of propaganda and election operation has you know has really countered on a a blizzard of details

of little pieces of information to obfuscate and it's all about obfuscation that you know the president was in my view highly disciplined I thought he did a great job sticking to the few points that we need to focus on because you really got it's so easy to go down like you said that rabbit hole there's there's literally tens of thousands of rabbit holes that have been created and you can't simply in the moment you do you give you know you give CNN ABC and all the other

communist propaganda is something to further diffuse the conversation until you get to it and one of the things I have to say I really did like hearing from the president is you know it's like simple is better and you just mentioned it with single day paperbalding is simple it should be that you're you know your non-technical person should be able to help run an election and they can clear up an obfuscate a problem within you know five minutes or less and say no that's not an

issue that's not an issue that's an issue we need to hand off to the next echelon and then move on the election instead what we've got is nothing gets solved because it's so muddy and and and

and it will always be muddy as long as we have technology in there and you know what the problem

with technology is there's people even on the good side who are invested in this technology so they don't want to get rid of the technology sure we've created we've created an industry around elections that has a vested interest in keeping this going and it is it is kind of like the election industrial complex if you will to paraphrase or borrow from Eisenhower warning us about the military industrial complex if we were to if the president had come out last night said listen

our elections are much too complicated this should be a simple process and I apologize for pointing

to France but there are great example they got 80 million people that can vote and they count the

votes in one day it's done with paper and everybody knows before they go to bed at night he did the he the president last night made the example of what had happened in the in the California elections

“where it took them weeks to count the LA mayor's race and that's crazy and I think if you”

come out said we're all for simplifying it but it's like the tax code it's the same thing with the tax code if we just had a one-page tax form of the tech crews sold it tried to sell it years ago as a postcard but we couldn't jump on board if we were to simplify it would put a lot of accounting people out of business so that we're going to have to bite the bullet eventually Jeff and it's going to have to it's going to have to make sure that the simplification is the winner

and not feeding the beast that is either the election machines or the accounting machines or any of this that that we've allowed to grow big we're we're guilty if we go around government funding yeah it's all about it yeah great points great points thank you let me grab one more here

“I think I'm not sure about this one it might be might be not a positive call for me but”

I'll bravely step in Kevin in Tennessee Kevin welcome to the Chris Plant Show you you've got the floor hey Mike how are you I'm good sir what's up hey I'm hopefully from Illinois I got out of that crappy state I went out to call I just heard a newscaster doing the news in between your breaks and he mentioned all the information that Trump put out yesterday and then he says that it's all the bunk when you're reporting all and I know that they released all the documents today

I'm just curious how come they're reporting that it's the bunk when everything's been released and it's out there for the public to see that it proves that there was election interference and your newscaster guys don't say the total opposite of what you're reporting that's a great question I will have to address that I'm one of the people who said because we did we did here

“that that I played several clips from say from I think it was Willie Geist saying that this”

these have been debunked I'll even see an end seem to say well not totally debunked and I don't know how you can say a copy of the declassified email that shows there was what appears to be deep deep state actors who were preventing the president from getting the full

have the file so that's a good question Kevin I'm gonna have to go into that I will now Kevin

“how did you manage to break free from Illinois did they did they exact and escaped tax from you”

when you left my all things safely no they went they didn't me in my way for smart enough to get away a couple years ago so good for you good for you well enjoy and now what part of Tennessee we're in the western park camping it's a very small town I'm originally from Chicago so it was a big big change for me but I'm glad we did it my here's the girl back

is that true that's wonderful no I just get good for you Kevin thank you thank you as a former

south side I appreciate you for being there and good luck to you thank you for that very interesting turn on this I do so many things I want to get to today as I mentioned earlier seeing an obsessed with the teleprompter they just did another three minutes segment on the teleprompter guy and now now see an end's biggest gripe with last night's addresses that the president barely mentioned the war well last night wasn't about the war you guys last night was about

voter fraud last night was about making sure our elections are secure you know who else agrees with

this uh Jerome in Charleston South Carolina let's go to Jerome online for hello Jerome welcome the Chris Pancho hey I got you yeah hey look was that jump on the phone with a guy from Georgia after for thanking him for another 11000 10000 yes Jerome yes Jerome yes Jerome he was that's exact I I love you Jerome because you're a subsist with a story that wasn't even part of last night Georgia was not mentioned last night the accounting mess in Georgia was not even mentioned

Fanny Willis was not mentioned last night we didn't mention anything about voter fraud in Pennsylvania all we talked about was cleaning up all of the all up the voter roles in this country and anybody in any party who doesn't want the voter roles to be legitimate and perfect is obviously an enemy of the state there's no clear way to say that if you are not on the side of making sure it's one person one vote then you're not intelligent you might even be

“neurodivergent I think that's the term Chris uses so I'm I'm not even going to entertain your”

silliness today Jerome good effort but no none of that happened last night the president talked about making sure our voting is solid accurate and efficient and hopefully we can get that done all right just around the corner an update on the how how do we name this the explosive diarrhea problem that's in many states mostly Michigan but they think it's on the source and oddly enough it's it's facing California we'll get to that and what that happened in main last night

pretty entertaining it's Michael Belke in for Chris Plant on the Chris Plant Show it is the Chris Rancho Michael Belke in for my friend Chris Plant like goodness is

“lot going on today yeah we're covering the president's speech I'm also monitoring what what I think”

is a pretty important story and that's the story about the cause or the source of the digestive distress cyclospolysis the outbreak that has no one has died from this no one has died they may have died from embarrassment when this thing hits you if you're out in public because it's not good I will tell you that problem the explosive diarrhea thing will get you out of jury duty I know I have used the excuse myself but the outbreak covering several states

across the nation's sickening people nobody died 34 states hit by this and now it looks like a place called Taylor farms is the likely source according to health officials the likely source

centered or the greatest concentration of this outbreak is in Michigan where they've got more than

4300 people who are reporting the problem the problem nobody wants to admit to because it's just it's awful well I guess you're losing weight faster than on a GLP one but the strangest part of this is the lettuce that the Taylor farms people are providing goes to several different companies

“including Walmart and Target and Whole Foods and I think that's in the form of bad lettuce”

but Taco Bell which is a major major fast food provider is pulling lettuce from its menu items

several of its menu items in many states I guess they've tracked which ones get their lettuce from the Taylor farms company the suspect currently in the Southbreak I just find it interesting that it's the lettuce that could be causing this in Taco Bell and not other ingredients perhaps I'm wrong for making that connection just wondering if that's wrong to say that if you're a Taco Bell fan I have several friends who really swear by it it's not my choice of fast

food but you do you consume at your own risk certainly late night dining options are limited but we'll keep our eyes on it but if you're shopping for lettuce in a bag at places like Walmart

“and Whole Foods and I think Target maybe you skip the lettuce this week and maybe you go for the”

broccoli if you're looking for greens to get things going third hour with the show just around the corner we

will get into the breakdown of what the heck is happening in Maine with the Senate seat that's up for grabs in less than four months Susan Collins will be the GOP nominee but now the Graham Platner is out the Democrats in Maine have to pick somebody and they're not going to let the

“voters do it which is really kind of troubling I don't I don't understand how this is suddenly”

become a trend in the the Democrat party you know Joe Biden steps aside and they didn't let the voters pick the candidate now in Maine you've got Graham Platner stepping aside and you're not going to let the voters there pick the candidate scrolling with Hayland I am Hayley Karenia I scroll 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 loves seeing you all in the chat before

the show I try 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 the videos and all the content that you won't find anywhere else scrolling with Hayley to search that up and I will be there follow and listen on your favorite platform
