People keep asking me if I'm running a president.
And I don't know, I'm serious.
“I don't know, I might, because people keep asking me to do it.”
And if I'm going to do it, and I look around, you know, and I see the folks who are, you know, possibly in the running, and some of them are impressive. Many of them, most of them, are not. [MUSIC]
>> Well, maybe when you see someone who is not oppressive, you're looking in the mirror, down lemon. Maybe that's the reason. I think. And happy Monday.
Happy Monday to you and yours. It's Michael Pelka. My friend Chris Plant, on vacation. I'm happy to be here, thrilled to be here, and as we kick off this week, this plant vacation week, which is already starting to look like a very busy week.
I'm happy to say that all the technology is working. Am I jinxing it? I don't think so. But yeah, we have everything lined up and we'll try and recap all of the craziness that happened since we last met, all of the madness that happened over the weekend.
There was serious news happening halfway around the world as we now have three Americans who lost their lives in the war against Iran's dream to get a nuclear weapon. Said details coming out of that region. But the ninth day of bombing the bejesus out of Iran was yesterday, we'll see what happens today.
There are several credible reports saying that a 10-day ceasefire is currently being discussed. During some pretty reliable reports that say the Iranians would like 10 days of no more bombing in order to get to the table again, for yet another memo of understanding, I don't know if I trust them. I don't know if I give them 10 hours of ceasefire.
I would make them all stay awake all hours of the night for several days till they finally
said uncle. We will follow that story throughout the day, I know the U.S. and Israeli military currently on alert in the region and there are those who are saying that the Houthis, remember the Houthis, they're part of that cabal with Iran's other friends, Hezbollah, that the Houthis may close the Red Sea.
“I don't think so, I know that's a rumor, but I think the Houthis got a big taste of military”
response the last time they did this, so we will watch it all, we'll watch it every little bit of it. We have many things going on today, there's a lot of stuff happening in the world of Democrat versus Republican politics today, and there are some really fascinating new poll numbers that just broke, that literally just broke this morning from a Washington Post
CNBC poll about the midterm elections which, you know, they will be here before we know it, it's like three months in a week, very, very soon the midterms will be here. And if you ask me this question in January, I would say, "Ah, it looks like the Democrats have the upper hand. It appears momentum has shifted as we speak this morning, we will break that down."
So the midterms are, and the midterm polling on the horizon today, the UK has a new prime minister as we speak, and the burdenum who was a mayor now elevated to the position
“of prime minister, I think the speculation was, and I think you can bet on this, actually.”
The prediction markets were saying, "Who will he get the first international phone call
from a leader? Will it be somebody from the EU or somebody from, well, Donald Trump?" I think it's going to be Trump. The King already met with him, but that doesn't count as a foreign leader checking in. I just wonder, how many more prime ministers do we have before we get a full chest set? This is the 10th or 11th in recent years, it's getting to be a little embarrassing.
The door at number 10 Downing Street has not been replaced with a revolving door yet, but it might. That might happen. We also have madness out in New York with the Communist Socialist Mayor, Mom Donny, who was talking about arresting Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes when the UN is in session.
Look, the New York suffers enough when the UN is in session. The way traffic is absolutely hamstrung when all those boboes from around the world show up for the UN annual grift and the general assembly.
You want to talk about tracking down the prime minister of one of our favorit...
and arresting him. I don't think so.
“I think it's a bluster, but Mom Donny's good at that, but we'll share that with you.”
You're always welcome to join our conversation at any time, triple 860906258886090625.
Today is historically a very important day for America. I never want us to forget this day, 1969, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Ultron, walked on the moon. And we were the first to do it, and we are the only nation to do it. Now it wants, but several times, send men to the moon and return them safely. And we're going back, we are headed back there soon.
I think it's next year, but the moon landing and the moon walk happened on this day back in the day. I was a little kid sitting in my grandfather's feet watching it on a small black and white
“TV and our suburban Chicago home when it happened, and I will never forget it, I will never”
forget how emotional my grandfather got because he went to school on a horse.
And now an American couple of them were walking around on the surface of the moon, truly a great moment in this country's great and long history, which hopefully we will continue celebrating. There was an update on the lettuce issue. On Friday, we were talking about this outlet called Taylor Farms, that was considered
to be the likely source of the nationwide cyclists perriacists outbreak, which got several thousand people's sickened in 34 states. And the California supplier of that lettuce, which also sends bag to lettuce to several grocery chains, like Walmart and Target and Whole Foods, they were pulling their product
“from shelves and pulling it back from Taco Bell and places like, I think Chipotle also”
was a customer. And now we're hearing the CDC saying, well, you know, we had a false positive, the test that showed that their lettuce was suspect, do you think we could have done more than one test? Maybe wouldn't that have had a good idea to do more than just, I'm sure they did more.
I hope they did more than one test. But there's a weird sidebar to this story. There's a really bizarre sidebar to this story. And it relates to a political campaign of a Democrat, and it just proves to you how crazy the Democrats have become.
There is a woman running for a house seat in Texas, her name is Sarah McGee. And somehow she and her people thought it would be an absolutely brilliant idea in order to raise money for the house seat, Texas legislature house seat, not Congress nationally. They thought it would be a great idea to try and raise $5,000 by posting the following on her social media out.
She said, I have the lettuce disease, which as a youngish, healthy person is fine, but caution should be taken in traffic. Okay, yeah, we understand. I started to type out my entire morning or deal, but decided instead to hang on to it for a minute.
Okay, so this is a young politician, Democrat, who's first instinct when she got these
cyclos, psoriasis, whatever this thing is that ultimately ends in explosive diarrhea. Her first instinct is to take to social media and type out her entire morning or deal, sharing her digested distress with us. But she said, no, I decided to hang on to it for a minute, and I thought, well, good. Maybe that's a good idea that you don't share this kind of detail with us.
But I was wrong, Sarah McGee, running for the House District 132 in the state of Texas, decided that this was better used for her fundraising idea. McGee wrote, if I raise $5,000 in the next 48 hours, I will post the story of my experience
With cyclosporosis and the men's bathroom at what a burger, and oh, it's good.
Like Amazon review good.
Only you can make it happen.
I seriously looked at this and I thought, this can't be true, this can't be real. So if you've ever used the social media outlet X, there's a little button in the top right corner that you can push. It's a little circle. If you push that button, you can either choose, explain this to me or is this true?
“And whenever you see something, this bad crap crazy, you have to push is this true and it's true.”
She posted this, it has since been deleted, this idea of Sarah McGee for Texas has since
been deleted, but thank God the internet is forever people immediately screen-capped it and
are posting it everywhere. I just think this is an indication, we've seen the Democrats' socialists of America out there talking about abolishing the United States Senate, about abolishing Congress getting rid of the president and coming up with a different kind of a title for the person who would be in charge of our country. But this one seems to take the cake for me. This is really, I think the Democrats are
telling us that they want to fundraise over their word, heavy description of explosive diarrhea
that if they can, if they can only raise enough money to keep their campaign alive, they will
share with us all of their digestive distress. And the other part of this is why did she have to use the men's room at what a burger, which if you're not familiar with, is a great, great burger joint. I experienced it in Texas, I don't know how many other states it's in. So congratulations, Democrats, you may have topped yourselves the insanity of the Democrats' socialists has been clipsed by a Democrat in Texas who really believes that this is the best idea to raise
campaign funds is to share the detailed story of what she experienced after getting the latest disease, as she called it, boy, boy. So much to get to today, we opened with Don Lemon sharing his
“big news that he really does believe that people seriously want him to become present. I think”
Don Lemon is delusional. I think it's all all clickbait, it's all ragebait, and it's all just foolish. And then I saw Don Lemon sitting with Harry Sisson. Remember Harry Sisson, he was the young guy that Democrats were hanging their head on saying, this is how we're going to get back young male voters with Harry Sisson. And that failed miserably, but he's still out there. As a matter of fact, Harry Sisson sat down with Don Lemon this week talking about how they want to
take on Republicans. And it's not on the battlefield of ideas. No, no, they don't want to get together on the battlefield of ideas, something completely different. And I've suggested to people before in interviews. I'm like, I want to fight them. I think like a fight? Yeah, yeah. Like if Steven Miller would agree, or one of the Trump children, or like anybody in the administration, I want to fight
“that. Do you know what? That I would go pay to see on the White House law. That's what I'm saying.”
And then UFC. Why are we doing the UFC event? Why don't we just settle some political belief? I'll take anybody in the White, I box for four years. And if they want to, I get back into training camp, get in the best shape of my life and go fight one of them. I would do it too. Yeah, that's what I feel like there's so many people that would do it. Yeah, really, I know I would pay to watch this because even though Steven Miller doesn't look like he's very muscular, I think Steven Miller's
probably very wierry and very spy and could take on the more youthful Harry Sysson and take him out. This is the Democrat party. When they don't have easy ideas, they resort to violence. And the violence, I don't think it fair very well. I've got more from down the limit because down the limit's not only interested in seeing men fight. He also has a new analysis as a Republican party. And it's not really innovative. He's really just kind of condensed some of
The other madness from the left.
Michael Belke, in for Chris Plant on the Chris Plant Show.
Scrolling with Hayland. I am Hayland, I am Hayland Carania. I scrolled with the homies here in the live chat because there was 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 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.
It is the Chris Plant Show. Happy Monday to Michael Belke and for my friend Chris Plant's
agency is vacationing and I hope he and his bride are having a fabulous time. We apparently touched the nerve here. We just played this clip of Harry Sisson, the Wundercund that the Democrats thought was going to bring young men back to the party because he's just such a good example for young men. No, he's not. I think it was an epic fail. Harry visited the Don Lemon Show and talked about wanting to fight people. Not on policies, not on ideas, but physically fight people like Steven Miller.
And it got all Don Lemon all hot and bother. You can hear it. I've suggested to people before
an interview. I want to fight them. Like if Steven Miller would agree or one of the Trump
children or anybody in the administration, I want to fight them.
“Did you know what? That I would go pay to see on the White House. That's what I'm saying.”
Yeah. Sure you what. Sure you what. He got really excited. So maybe we should come up with a card for who Harry and Don Lemon should fight. Notice though that Harry Sisson said the Trump children. I'm betting that Tiffany Trump could could take him down. Apparently this is a popular topic. Mike is calling from Taylor'sville, Maryland. Mike, good morning. Welcome to the Chris Plant Show. If you want to do it that way, brother Mike, my name is Matt. I've been in the Chinese
more since I was the close to 41 years now. I would have a great time with those, with those maggots and the last 15 seconds. But I'm left all the way through. Even though Mike apparently
“teaching for 40 years, so are you into your fifth decade or your sixth decade at this point?”
Not saying or I know is I love to have that chance. I do it for free. Well, I think the last would last over 15 seconds. That's very interesting. Well, Harry says he did boxing for four years and he would get back in the ring and get into the best shape ever if he could face Steven Miller. Thank you. Mike, thank you for volunteering, guys. I think you're going to find a lot of people in line with you. It's not the way we decide elections, but it might be an interesting
distraction while we count the votes. Triple eight, six three zero nine six two five. As I said, more madness from down lemon just around the corner on the Chris Plant Show. It is the Chris Plant Show happy Monday. Michael Palco with you. Chris is on vacation. I will be here attempting to uphold the fine standards of this program and get through all of the madness we are witnessing coming out of the mouths of the Democrats every single day because the Democrats
do say the darnedest things don't they? Yes, there's new polling data we'll get to from the Washington Post CNBC as relates to the midterms which while it doesn't give the Republicans the upper hand it certainly is better news than we've been getting before this and there's a new prime minister in the UK. We'll hear about that, but we were in the middle of talking about some crazy Democrats like Don Lemon who took all the money that CNN gave him when they fired
“him which was substantial I think was in the tens of millions of dollars and he's using it for”
his podcast which other than I think conservative radio talkers who listen to it to see if there's any stupid things being said I don't know anybody in my liberal friend pool who watches or listens
To Don the lemon nobody and maybe it's because they realize he's crazy too he...
president he honestly has said that because people have told him he should run but but he also says some really wild off the edge stuff when he makes accusations of those of us who have been part of the mega movement for years check this out mega is the closest thing to the modern version of the Nazi party this is America's version it's closest thing without the Holocaust and all that stuff
“that sort of mindset that's what mega is so the closest thing to the Nazi party America's Nazi”
party you know without the the Holocaust now there are a bunch of people would think that uh
Don Lemon's crazy because they say the Holocaust never happened but what what an outrageous thing
to say uh Don Lemon wasn't done there no matter what you the no matter how many facts and how much information you give him you give them about this presidency about the policies they don't change their minds because they're really not voting for uh the price of eggs they're voting for white supremacy they're voting for power they're voting to have a preeminent voice I bought eggs this weekend Don and they were around two bucks a dozen and uh you're you're saying
“that uh you're voting for a power that anyone who votes for for Republicans voting for power uh”
let's dial it back to when sunny Austin was on the few a couple weeks ago until the Democrats
the following it's time for Democrats to stop that nonsense put a motions on the side let's be strategic let's get some power let's get some power so who's the power hungry one there who's who's the seeking power now but to say that you're voting for white supremacy there's a crazy story out of California we will get to it that also talks about uh the reparations bill that has passed through one one county California both stay on Mr. Lemon because he thinks Donald Trump is he's some
kind of a magician Donald Trump is tricking people they're afraid of they've been co-opted by many people in the Republican Party and Donald Trump to think that their failures are due to something else the other the black person the woman the Latino the immigrant the migrant that person is taking your job that person is the reason that you don't have the financial or career success that you think that you should have it's because of them we want to take our
“country back that's what Maggie is well I think making America great again which is you know that's”
kind of what the whole mega thing is that relates more to the issue of people here illegally what we have seen in recent years since Donald Trump has closed the border and started taking all the people here illegally and getting rid of them and great numbers G suddenly we've seen states where the rent is down unless of course you're in New York City where the rent's hitting a new high and the communist mayor thinks it's going to change because he he can tell it to but no rents have started to
go down dramatically across the board gas prices back up to four bucks a gallon but I think we all
know why that has happened but this is just amazing to me that lemon and his cohorts are saying
that Donald Trump is tricking everyone into thinking blacks women and immigrants are the reason their lives are bad no although people here illegally put a strain on the system look at what happened in terms of how many billions of dollars were wasted in the state of Minnesota because of the immigrant scam and all of the money that's been funneled into the the leering centers look at the the billions of dollars in California that have been sucked out of our tax base from
the people that have set up these fake hospices look at the hundreds of millions of dollars that we know about so far in New York with the fake pharmacies and the fake adult daycare centers so yeah people that are here illegally in gaming the system are causing the cost to go up and it's rather unfortunate that Donald Lemon used the price of eggs because he's really wrong really really wrong one more on Donald Lemon here because you know Donald Lemon is the
Gift that keeps on giving he he was talking with a podcast host named Travis ...
done rush Travis done rush if you think the country is off the rails in terms of all
“it's not off the rails we've Korean into fascism the president is a fascist so what's the way back”
by not electing a fascist the next time not electing a bigot so Donald Lemon says we we've already Korean into fascism and yet he's allowed to to say what what he wants to say and he's allowed to
keep his podcast going uh fascism even though Donald has never looked it up if I pull out my
funk and wagnolds I see it's an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization intolerant oppressive of ideas and behavior well a gee you might disagree with the administration but you still have your right to do so the fascists would not let that happen the fascists would be all over you like a cheap suit uh very interesting uh keeping an eye in a couple of crazy stories apparently a nutjob likely a Democrat is in custody after
allegedly throwing an incendiary device at the FBI headquarters in New York I say it's likely a Democrat because you know they want to get rid of things like the police and the FBI's sort of at the top tier of policing in America we'll see if there's an update on that we'll share that with you but kind of nutjob's out there when you when you're out among the people or on social media advocating advocating for the destruction defunding elimination of things like ice and the Senate
and the presidency eventually people hearing you are going to take action uh the phone lines are
open always here on the Chris Plant Show triple eight six three zero nine six two five eight
eight six three zero nine six two five Michael is in Binghamton, New York a great town Michael good morning welcome to Chris Plant Show what's on your mind hey good morning Mike thanks for taking my call yeah well as I've listened to your dialogue I find interesting that uh this guy Sissy or whatever his name is Sison Sison that he uh he wants to challenge any of the Trump children or or Steven Miller uh as they they would be such pushovers but yet he has to go back
and work out to get in the best shape of his life now who is that the fight is that the fight
“Tiffany or Ivanka or that the fight down junior or Eric uh and I was thinking if you want to”
defistilate a fight card you could put my name in there now because I think I could be just guy I have no idea who he is uh but I'm uh I'm 65 years old I'm an entire professional fire fighter paramedic retired US army soldier retired uh federal agent uh 100% disabled by the VA and I think
I could still be this button wow Michael first of all uh as Chris would do I am standing
and saluting all your levels of service to this country both in military uniform and paramedic and in fire department uniform uh thank you for being someone who's uh willing to run towards the problem and not from it and yeah you're probably right you with uh even the classification of disability into your seventh decade could likely uh stare you know Michael I bet you if you locked eyes with Harry Sisson he would melt like tell her I'm not playing yeah yeah hey you know
if you don't mind me uh I do know a little self promotion here uh because you mentioned running towards the issue or the danger or whatever yeah here I've been trying to enjoy my my my retirement life now and uh because New York State is so out of control I've thrown my head in the ring to run for New York State senator and uh district 52 which is upstate New York all the court when in Tom County then half of room counties wow well you know Michael um in where you are in
“Binghamton it's kind of been fairly reliably conservative over the years from what I remember”
is that not the case anymore uh no I'm gonna say that the Binghamton area of Binghamton the city of Binghamton where I live I'm gonna say is purples if you go out to the outlying towns uh they're more red but uh Tom County where it's like a in Cornell University is do I need to say
More no you do not wow that's all he had to do with sick Cornell I got it I g...
Michael uh so you have filed uh are you you're running as a Republican do you have to go through
“a primary process no no our primary up here is already over with but I did not have a primary”
challenger I'm gonna be running on the Republican and the conservative lines very good very good and so this will be in the midterms I I don't know how people listen to uh Kathy Hockel
the governor and have any respect for what she's doing she seems to always be uh two steps
behind on things like she was with fracking New York was with fracking and now apparently on the uh the the the data center issue they'd rather shut things down and lead from behind on things so that's exactly yeah it's not not the New York I was used to well good luck for you to you Michael thank you please keep us posted I'll be we'll be following you tell me uh you're district again that you're running for uh New York State Senate District 52 all of courtland and talking
counties and uh the city of Binghamton and the town of Binghamton uh Dickinson uh Shanango
union best all I don't know if we could say Shanango on the radio we might get sensors for that thank you thank you Michael God bless you man and thank you again for all your service uh a great patriot and you know you don't have to end thank you uh your career just because you you hit your sixties well done well done thank you uh let's uh check in with Norman and uh bui Maryland hello Norman thank you for being here good morning good morning Michael how are you
doing today I'm good sir I'm good you want to join in on the uh you want to pile on the hairy sis in discussion oh most assuredly I if I was younger and back in finding shape I'd love to
“challenge but I really think instead of hyperbolic brothers the error coming from him maybe you should”
turn down the glove and maybe challenge piece takes off the actual secretary of war who is going out and you know thought for this nation you know the problem with that Norman is we have uh myriad videos of Pete Exeth actually training Ron doing training runs and uh pushups and pullups with the troops uh shirtless and again I think hairy sis and would faint uh and Don Lemon would swoon if he encountered a shirtless uh pumped up secretary of war Pete Exeth it would not end
well for either one of them both would probably faint for different reasons make for free TV for them to walk in and just went themselves hi I would pay to watch that yeah I mean it's all
have probably to then they're always throwing down these words and oh I do this I've kicked their
butts yeah right it's true I'm wonderful see a response to this I don't think uh Don Jr or Eric are gonna respond what they should do is Donald Trump should send Kai trope out there
“his granddaughter and let her just take him out because I think she would take him as well that would”
that would be what I would say all right I gotta I gotta take uh a break here in a second Norman thank you for chiming in on the uh the hairy sis and offer to uh beat up any Republican Trump family any Trump children you would like to take a look uh we got hold of us to get together as well you can join us triple eight six three zero nine six three five it's a pelca you're for plants on the crisp matchup it is the crisp matchup I could help go with you
Chris is on vacation Happy to be with you triple eight six three zero nine six two five eight eight six or zero nine six two five uh a pile of number stacking up that we need to investigate new polling numbers regarding the midterms and uh in uh 2018 and 2006 in those midterm elections the Democrats had massive leads leading up to it at this point and something is shifted if we go back to January of this year it looked like it was a pretty much a lock for the Democrats to retake control of the house
Maybe even the Senate and now the polling data the Washington Post and the uh...
appears to be a very different uh hairy antin over at C&N that that's an actual person not a
“skin condition talking about the latest polling data on midterms they show a big uh oh”
worry sign at least compare it to history because I want to take it back to the history machine I want to know okay House National July CNBC Washington Post poll average midterm years this is the generic ballot right where were we back in 2006 when of course Democrats were going back on the
win the house they were up by 12 and an average of those two posts have about 2018 they were up by an average of 10 in those two posts
look at where that average is now well less than half of either the level of 2018 and 20 oh six way down there yes they're ahead but they're had I have to shrink down on the screen they're ahead by only four points which is significantly less than what we saw in 2018 and 2006 when Democrats took back the house so as I said this is an uh oh this is a warning sign load yes Democrats are
had not by anywhere near the margin they were in prior way of years and that that number that four
percent the four points that's pretty close to the margin of error Harry had a little more to say okay the Washington Post CNBC poll lead it's for on average right but what about needed to control with registered thing you need probably a three to four point victory nationwide in the National Household in order to get a house majority you are right on the edge with this four point lead in the average of the CNBC Washington Post post right on the edge of even getting that majority and
“that's why I said this is a very worrisome sign this is troublesome for Democrats because despite”
all of Donald Trump's unpopularity in the post they do not seem to be building an advantage that guarantees them the house or anything close to a guarantee it's very close at least if you're listening to CNBC Washington Post yeah there you go currently because of the redistricting which you know we know it's been a little bit on the right and then a little bit on the left and it might be a wash but based on the current polling data and I think I know why I think I've
tracked down the reason that there is this shrinkage of the lead that the Democrats had coming into the last couple of months it comes down to three simple initials D S A I'll share my my take on all this just around the corner plus Hunter Biden's back is he home a phobic well we gotta get into this it's a polka in for plant on the crisp rancho the United States soccer Federation presents the US soccer podcast the place where I'm Megan Klingberg a world cup expert teaches you everything
