7-20-26 Hour 2 - Preparing for the Midterms

There've been some extraordinarily lonely ideas coming from some of these people.

“We actually won races and again, we see it in Congress most likely.”

Like getting rid of prisons, getting rid of cops. That didn't work well for Democrats before. Didn't work well for American cities, either when people were talking that way. Americans getting safer again in good part because both parties have come to conclusion that police officers are a good thing.

The police officers make communities safer. Well, well, well, is morning Joe waking up.

Is he getting nervous about the DSA?

Sounds like it. Common sense. What a thought. [MUSIC] And welcome to Monday.

“The hit is the Chris Plant Show, my name is Michael Pelke and for my good friend Chris Plant”

happy to be here, thrilled to be here. Interesting how the Democrat party, the old guard, if you will, is suddenly getting very nervous about the inroads being made by the DSA.

And basically this happens the same weekend that Bernie Sanders and AOC and Rashida

to Lee were all campaigning with that El Saeed cat in Michigan who wants to be the Senator represent one of the senators representing the state of Michigan. We will get into that because Bernie and AOC both had some interesting things to say this weekend, sounding more and more like they are just going to come out all in for communism. Bernie sounds very excited and figurated.

He might even have found the fountain of youth in one of run again in 2028, or maybe he's just going to be the Kingmaker or Queenmaker for AOC. We will see a lot of things to get to including more follow up on that midterm polling data. To see if CNBC and the Washington Post that shows the Democrat lead which looked like a sure thing six months ago has shrunk to four points on the generic ballot.

I also mentioned today the anniversary of the moon landing 57 years ago today we walked on the moon, Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon and no other country has done that. No other country has done what we did we should be proud. But while I mentioned that earlier, a friend of mine said, hey Mike, don't forget this

was also the this weekend was the 57th anniversary of the time a U.S. Senator killed the 28 year old woman in his car and left her to drown and spent zero days in jail and then went on to serve another 40 years in the U.S. Senate. Of course we're talking about the death of Mary Joe Kopeckney at the hands of Ted Kennedy as he drove off the bridge late at night.

“Nobody seems to remember that, glad that I was called out on that to remember to pay tribute”

to the Kopeckney family. We're we're talking we're having a lot of fun today too because Harry Sisson has offering to fight Stephen Miller and any member of the Trump family and Don Lemon either wants to be his corner man or Don Lemon wants to be the undercard. I have figured out which but this Democrat nutjob Harry Sisson is intent on not arguing

policy, but wants to be a futurist he wants this to be boxing. I don't know maybe maybe the the real answer would be to do with the the UFC's seeing us there their biggest future is a slapfights the power slap. I don't know if you remember that but Dana White the the guy that's behind the UFC is saying that slapfights the power slap might be the biggest thing the bigger bigger growth

for his business considering he's doing pretty well. He said the numbers are astronomical on what we pull in this thing or foreign to I guess the traffic on YouTube and TikTok and then power slap is done something in terms of advertising momentum that it took the UFC a decade to do a decade and so and they can also do it

slap machine where he hit the back it's kind of interesting just as big as the UFC maybe

we have Harry Sisson do the power slap first and first it will see what happens there.

I was in the middle of the the Harry Anton story about the numbers when I had to take a break Harry Anton over at CNN talking about the midterm polling data and again if you asked us in January things were looking pretty gloom for a lot of Republicans who wanted to keep control of the House of Representatives and we have a serious number of retirements they're currently getting ready to happen there are a whole bunch of folks who want to retire

and you know I I I can understand it working in DC is a thankless job for many people and your bombarded by media and now now that TMZ has set up camp in Washington DC

the it's it's really kind of interesting because you're you're not only dodging you're

not only dodging the the normal media now you're dodging the TMZ cameras because they're out there and they're pretty pretty ruthless of relentless but I'm all for it I think more media covering the politicians will hopefully hold their feet to the fire because this is we know it's rare that CNN or MSNBC will actually or even CBS and NBC will actually ask a journalistic question of one of these guys but here's Harry Anton talking

about and this is the final clip of him breaking down the midterm polls which shows the GOP now within four points of the Democrats in terms of approval on the generic ballot

“I think this is really important okay Donald Trump's net approval writing with them is”

plus sixty six points but how much is the US House version Republicans lead amongst these

same voters by eighty seven points in other words there is a chunk of twenty twenty four Trump voters who right now aren't so hot to draw on Donald Trump but are still very much in the Republican camp and that to me is the worrisome sign for Democrats because how do you convince those voters to necessarily go over to you because it seems to me that their baseline opinion is I want to vote Republican even if I don't like Donald Trump and that's a very

tough voter to convert as opposed to independent so you know could go either way these are people have shown a finning for Republicans in the fans in the past and voting for Donald Trump in the past and right now they're showing that exact same affinity to vote

“Republican the midterm said that's why this race has much tighter than anything a lot”

of Democrats would wish it would be giving Trump some kind of outrunning Trump among Trump voters that's a that's a that's a nice that's a word for but yes that's exactly what's going on there House Republicans are outrunning Donald Trump amongst his own voters at this point really kind of an interesting take what it tells me is the Democrat plan which is so obvious to run not against the candidates they're running against for House C or Senate

C or Governor's race or anything a mayor's race the plans to run against Trump and not to run against their opponent if all they have to do is say as one candidate in Chicago date if we go back to the primary the the woman who had the ads that said F Trump although they weren't abbreviating it that my friends is quite telling but also the fact that the Republican voter who usually over the past two presidential elections only turned up for

elections if Donald Trump was on the ballot it seems like they've realized they have a job to do I hope that's the case but it looks like things could be better than we see right now but still nothing is certain in the next three months three months in a week until we have the midterm elections really just around the corner it's it's a very brief time Friday we talked briefly about the main Senate race where Grand Platner's done the Nipponazzi

is no longer on the ballot and the the Democrats were having some debates and they were getting ready to have the I call on the council of 600 the delegates who would select the

“candidate now remember this is the same Democrat party that when Joe Biden dropped out two years”

ago they told the voters to pound sand you don't get to pick your candidate we are going to select a Kamala Harris well kind of the same thing is happening in Maine where you have the council of 600 these these delegates who are coming up and saying we are going to select

Ashley Webb the Democrat man pretended to be a woman who looks like meet loaf if meet loaf

had a transgender son and also had some weird answers to the questions in case you forgot this was Ashley Webb at the debate and then what would the trans community like we're being dehumanized they say that we want to hurt people I don't want to hurt anybody I just want to use the bathroom and if they want me to use the men's from I will I don't want to be assaulted nobody wants to be assaulted Ashley it looks like Ashley who was a 1%

1% favorite to be selected by the council of 600 Ashley did not get that seat

it's not gonna happen for Ashley Ashley is run for for office twice before and unfortunately

for Ashley and Ashley's family 2026 is not gonna be your year either not gonna be your year now who is going to pick up the nod it appears that someone with a small problem with maybe real estate fraud will be the person who gets this this opportunity handed to them and literally handed to them they'll be they'll be given the chance to be on the ballot

“and have the people of Maine vote for them but Troy the the cat who looks like he I think he”

garnered more than 470 of the votes currently counted in this attempt to replace the nipple Nazi and that would be enough however there is a very credible and strong report that says when he purchased a home he lied on the loan application and this is courtesy of the Maine Wire Socialist Democrat Socialist there it is again DSA Democrat Socialist Troy Jackson he's almost got this wrapped up to get the insider appointment to replace the nipple Nazi

in 2019 Jackson purchased a home in Augusta Maine 200 miles from his district in the algash 200 miles from his district hmm very interesting he bought this using an FHA loan

a loan for low income first home buyers and it requires you to make the house your primary residence

“there's an occupancy clause that's what they call it and he initialed that page”

say now we're starting to find out who these people are for two years Jackson simultaneously told the Maine Ethics Commission that he was living in aligash Maine 200 miles away so that he could keep the state Senate seat that he held while he told the bank and the FHA that he lived in Augusta so he could get a cheap loan now if you lie on a mortgage document it's a mortgage fraud and the only reason we know this is because Troy Jackson

in this long time girlfriend Lana Pellett here decided they were going to sue the people they bought the house from alleging deception he claimed that the people who sold them the house withheld details about it like some smoke damage or bugs the sellers supplied information showing that all of this was disclosed and the lawsuit was dismissed said to be bogus thrown out at the same time it it came out that Jackson had filed an insurance claim for the damage

claiming that it happened before he owned the house now claiming that damage happened before you by a house and then claiming that it happened after you bought the house and the policy started means he either lied in the lawsuit or he lied to the insurance company so is he committing insurance fraud or is it mortgage fraud or is it both the main wire reported all of this two years ago so this is all out there already spend the subject of media scrutiny and an

“ethics complaint and I I think is going to make life better for Susan Collins I think she's”

going to be able to win this we will see just a little update on the main senate suit which I don't think it's getting any attention why because it's not favorable to the Democrats all right uh we're going to go to the phones after the break triple eight six three zero nine six two five eight eight six three zero nine six two five it's a polka for plants in the crisp lunch

that's a lot of things like that Stiftung Warms has computer-built focus mani chip finance tips such

“the what's out mega but that's something to be complicit yet nö einfach fotofonner unsteuer”

Bescheinigung machen und fahrte klingt sehr gut ist sehr gut mit wie so steuer ist zum I'm on the right this newly upgrip it is the crisp lunch oh Monday

July Michael Pelke in for Chris he's education and as always I like to stay in touch with you

the crisp audience triple eight six these zero nine six two five let's go to Christopher in Wilmington North Carolina hello Christopher welcome let's talk how are you I'm good sir what's up how do I talk to you about the uh the fight oh the Don Lemon Harry Cessan challenge the challenge to yeah for publicates yeah yeah mr live on the challenge us so you're in for the give you my background how to give

my background I am also a deputy sheriff the US Marshall and a police officer in my background

and also an an H-back contractor for the past 30 years so you're a working man you're not only

defended us you're a tinnocker who's been around I am you work for him good good well we thank you

“we thank you for that I have to tell you I think if you showed up in the ring in uniform”

uh Don Lemon who's probably uh he's probably considered a badge bunny he probably would melt and just fall down in front of you so I'm just saying it won't be much more fun I don't think Don Lemon could take me for about two minutes probably don't I need to go because I I go to gym every I have a gym on my house so I go to gym every day there you go I kids play baseball all the sports so I am made to go to gym on my kids

so yeah I challenge Don Lemon to apply any time you want to go well Christopher I think if we have the opportunity will we'll get Don Lemon on the horn we'll put it out there if he'd like to screen any of the possible opponents for both

“himself and Harry Sisson I don't know if we'll get that chance but we will certainly open the door”

and thank you for your service and thank you for keeping the air cool the float through the HVAC and it's real quickly it's going to steal a little rock arc and so on Steve you get the

closing quote of this half hour what's up my grandmother always told me that

common sense is a flower that doesn't grow in a triple foot yard that's pretty much the truth if there's a flower named common sense it won't grow in the dirt in D.C. and I was quote John Prime it don't make those sense the common sense don't make no sense no more it's a pelka in for plant on the Chris plant show scrolling with Hayland I am Hayley Karenia I scrolled with the homies here in the live jack

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 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 the content that you won't find anywhere else scrolling with Hayley dessert set up and I will be there follow and listen on your favorite platform it is the Chris

Plant Show welcome to it Michael Pelka in for my friend Chris Plant happy Monday to you busy busy weekend if you kept your eyes on the world and not just the world cup although I guess we can count on Fox News going back to reporting headlines at the start of every hour now instead of dedicating five minutes to World Cup coverage I get it vertical integration is a thing and the corporation was broadcasting World Cup everywhere so you led with it but my god people it seemed like

the the real world and the situation in a ran and the situation with three of our troops being killed would lead before we would do a glowing review of the World Cup just my personal opinion just saying it seemed like there was a little misplaced priority over there at the Fox Network

real business and getting things done will we see any serious change on behalf of the Iranians there is talks that they're trying to encourage the whoothies to close the red sea to also limit traffic in that region and I don't think that's gonna happen as yesterday was the ninth day of bombing in the ran and it's bombing not just military assets but also infrastructure assets

“bridges were taken that's what we'll see what happens today there's talk as I said earlier”

that the Iranians are asking for a 10 day ceasefire and I never think to trust them that's just

not the first instinct I do want to get to the hunter Biden story because hunter Biden has suddenly tried to rehabilitate his image and he's out there and I can't believe how much attention is being afforded this guy after we were told everything on the on the laptop was fake and a lie and all that and now he's admitting to the laptop being real etc but I want to get into something hunter Biden said in the interview but there have been a couple calls hanging out so I want to

clear the phones so we can get into this hunter Biden story and give it appropriate time

calling at a trip late 6309625 Spencer is in the great state of Texas. Hello Spencer,

welcome the Chris plant show. Hi Michael, you doing a great job. Thank you. Come on and I can give you is is that you're not born. I'm not one. So you're not born.

“Oh I I I hope to thank you. Thank you. You'd be surprised how many hosts are busy right?”

Yeah I want to get into this Jim banks thing. This bill that he's proposed before I do I want to ask a related question. Why is it my Johnson and those members of the Senate caucus who support the Save America act? Why don't they have the steps of the Capitol every day

holding a news conference explaining please blocking it naming names and selling 83% of the

public why we can't get this through. Why are they doing that every day? Good question of once suspects that there are some unwritten rules of collegiality that the Senate and the House have that they they kind of say well we just don't call each other out. It's kind of like air in your dirty laundry and public you know one of those one of those things that my am used to say hey we're going to the family picnic but you do not call out your cousins or your

brothers and sisters in public you know it's all it's also supposed to be good but I'm wondering if we're going to see some movement on this I'm hoping we will one of these shrubs going to get we don't care about their congee collegiality anymore we don't have time for their stupid games when will I get that did John court we just booted that shrub did John court got the message why won't the other ones don't they see what we're up to apparently not and the one that bothers

me the most to honestly is John Thune that's the one that I have the biggest problem with because

“one guy could change everything he could change everything and he's not and you have to wonder why”

why don't the rest of the senators get together and boot him well again they're all they're all interconnected all of the all of the controls of the money and the levers who power they're all tied together and I think that's a little bit of a tight robot that has to happen and you know what would solve this a Spencer is if if we just abolish the Senate all together as the DSA wants us to do that that would solve everything right okay so let's run the gym base can you

explain that proposal to me something about revoking birthright citizenship and an invasion can you know what I'm on with that I don't know the details on it but I will tell you it's such a difficult thing to get past now that the Supreme Court has ruled on it so you will have to create a piece of legislation in order to stop what's going on I would have hoped that we we could have prevented it with the Supreme Court ruling but since they didn't and they they overturned what was

being argued then you have to create completely new legislation to say look this is going on

and we're not being smart about it we're coming up on the 25th anniversary of the attacks of September

“11th and there there are entire generations what is the two or three generations now of voters”

who weren't even around that and and they're going to be voting and so the plan here that's being active active active act that the plan that's currently active by these people is to seriously invades there are very slow invasion of birth and they're getting it done and it's just it's disgusting to be I don't know how anybody can be for birthright citizenship it makes absolutely zero sense but I will make an effort to get into the details on the on the bill as proposed

there's so much going on I just have an attempt to to comb through all of it but thank you

thank you Spencer I will try to remain not being boring I promise you I'm going to grab one more

“call here then we're going to do the hundred-by-thing Eric who's also in Texas in love with Texas”

one of my favorite towns of Texas hello Eric welcome did the talk to you again hey I'm still having an issue with this data center thing and not for the obvious but I was reading the federal register an executive order over just a little over a year ago present from signed one stating that an idea center can be put on federal lands in military bases and this comes on the heels of you know and may there's a metadata which is Facebook Instagram they took millions and

moons of rock of gallons of water in Georgia and and how people find out about it is they have a little pressure and they have water restrictions and here to find out that the local utilities discovered that they were connected to water that they're not being built and I I was serious issue with this because if we if this is the beginning of what's going to happen what's going to happen on all these things you're online and are we going to have any water at all and no accountability

well I understand what you're saying because especially on West Texas where you are water was a

very precious commodity and it's great it's critical not only to you staying alive but to

farms etc and the reality is there there is too much that is just unknown about the data centers now the data centers know the data centers are moving they're they're moving fast and they're moving forward with with their growth and there's talk of a lot of the Indian reservations putting the data centers on those which would be really an interesting take and maybe they do end up on military bases but we need transparency on it what I don't think we need to do is

surrender the advantage we have on AI data centers to the rest of the world because China's waiting to dominate us on that but we need we need to be open and honest and move fast on bring all of this out and that's that's the issue so absolutely and if we get put on military bases and federal land that means the local people won't have input or discovery it well that gets bypassed this said that would be the same problem on the Native American reservation so tribal lands military

“bases this suddenly you don't have transparency and I think we'd all rather have transparency”

than have it cloaked in secrecy I think that's the issue thank you appreciate you being there the data center stories it's it's an ongoing and big story and we really don't know the entirety of it at all not even close I mentioned a hundred by now I have to play something for you we are what 10 days away or is this the 10th day since the death of Lindsey Graham and we went from total coverage last Monday to almost no statements on Lindsey Graham I know

the president Donald Trump has put out a statement saying he would like sanctions placed into one of the one of the bills that's pushing aid to Ukraine he would like more sanctions on Russia and Iran it's what Lindsey would like to see happen and and he would honor Lindsey Graham Democrats on the other side would like to diminish Lindsey Graham and I point you to Hunter Biden making an appearance on a podcast a podcast with a woman I just find to be completely

Rogan although she's not even close to Joe Rogan in terms of market reach she has a podcast that is regularly railing against the president and it's not exactly the most polite podcast but Hunter Biden was on this podcast it's called I've had it and talking about DC and DC politics and this is what I don't understand I thought Democrats on the left were all about hey we don't care what you do in your private life hunter Biden's a great example of that

he we were always told you shouldn't care what I do in my private life it's my private life

but Hunter Biden is now wanting to call out for Republicans that he thinks are closeted

“homosexuals or closeted freaks check this out I got this actually okay I believe that the”

biggest problem in America is as in in Washington DC with the federal government is a is it not the allegarchy um it's the closetocracy as I call it it is and I'm being totally serious and I can't do it right because I don't know these to be true at all but let's start with my with the laptop that I want to see what begin with Josh Hawley so you're saying that Josh Hawley is a closeted homosexual and you would like to see Josh Hawley's laptop

what in the wide wide world of sports are you talking about sir he gets into a little bit more

we'll get that in a second we have a computer issue but this this story is really to me it's

it's beyond a smearing and I wonder now if we were in England if if this were the English laws I know slander libel all that kind of stuff you besmirch or or degrade a person's history you're allowed to take them to court or be taken to court so we'll we'll try and reboot this let me I will get back to the the hunter Biden Jennifer Welch story because this is a big stink and deal he not only goes after Josh Hawley he goes after Ted Cruz he goes after Lindsey Graham

“he goes after JD Vance I really I really think this is what the Democrats would call homeophobia”

if you came out and started saying which members of the Democrat party are closeted homosexuals or

closeted lesbians do you think the left side of the entry media would let that stand? no they would not all right we'll get it this we'll try and reboot you around take a part here if I can look through it's just around the corner triple eight six we zero night six to five eight eight six we zero night six we thought it'll focus in for plant on the Chris plan show is the Chris plan show Michael Pelke and Chris plan to the demons to go to court and the computer we're working to get them sorted out so they're on hold hang up we'll try and get to you but we can't do it right now

but we will trust me we will and I will get back to the hunter Biden with Jennifer Welch story because I think this is truly a big stink and deal if hunter Biden is claiming that there are a bunch of Republicans in the closet in in Congress then the mainstream media needs

“to call them out on it that's what Jennifer Welch's podcast allowed him to do but we'll get back to”

that we can't play that yet but I have some clips here on my end that I want to share with you because they're particularly interesting to me these are Democrats who I believe are starting to suddenly realize the Democrats socialists the DSA are causing them a problem the Democrats socialists of America who are for abolishing the U.S. Senate abolishing the presidency that's right they want to abolish the U.S. Senate Senate and abolish the presidency don't believe me the Senate is a very

undemocratic institution so would you like to abolish the Senate that's part of our platform and we don't think that's extreme it sounds so radical like abolish the Senate abolish the Supreme Court like et cetera et cetera but it's really it's not everybody sees that like

evil but somehow we have like one that is even more evil whenever people are like oh my god they

“want to get rid of the president I was like well I don't know what we would call it in the future”

we could call it the head-honshow of whatever you know yeah they could rid of the Senate then we just

have a head-honshow of whatever we would never president that kind of thinking these are these are

not just voters these are people within the DSA people that are on their committees people that are leading the coalitions in various states and that is driven folks who are normally considered reliable voters for the Democrat party people like Bill Mark to stand but go oh hold on a second

here let's pump the brakes Jonathan Carl on this week on ABC asked Mar about maybe voting

differently for president in 2028 could you see yourself voting for jadevans yes if this is the

“Democratic side yes that's what I was saying to him yeah my voice that's what what is my votes”

and play mean his vote isn't play his vote is it play because the Democrats have fallen off the cliff

van Jones has also stepped up and said he's concerned about this but I will tell you there is

something you need to realize the Democrats socialist might actually be helping the rank and file typical Democrat candidate because it it might drive people back towards the AOCs to make you think that those people are normal when a month ago we thought of them as the crazy leftists within the party will dive into this a little bit just around the corner triple eight six or zero nine six two five if we get it working it's Michael Pelka in for Chris Plant on the Chris
