This week, the big Bauer Fruchtjogort, 250g, for 39 cents.

Or, Gerol Steiner Mineral Wasser, 1,5 liters, for only 79 cents. Endecke weitere Angebote in deinem Aldi Nord. Aldi, good is for all. More in his role as Hell's Secretary. Our opportunity was like, "Look, no one's eating lettuce.

I thought you'd be thrilled." I mean, that's something. Cool, right? Yes, you don't make friends with salads as quickly you learn from Palmer Simpson. Hello, everybody.

Mrs. and Mrs. America, we are in Mr. and Mrs. America as the case may be. Look at that.

And, still, right out of the gate on the Chris Plant show, I have some route to make up.

My name is Dean Carianis, so happy to be with you today.

“Don't reach for that dial, because you have a great opportunity today if I do my job, right?”

As a former member of Rush Limbaugh's highly overrated staff and a columnist at the New York Sun, I take the responsibility to be your backup goalie today. Very seriously, I can't wait to get to the news, I can't wait to share with all of you these precious moments of your life. And I understand you show up at a Chicago Blackhawk's game way back.

You want to see Tony Esposito and Nets. And if you pay for the Washington capitals today, you want to see Alexander Ovechkin. And then you get a backup guy, you get another guy and that's starting to line up and you say, "Who's he?" and sometimes they surprise you. And that's my goal today.

You want to keep me up here with the big team and bring me up from the Farm team.

I want to talk about Fauci, of course. Well, that's a lie. I've started off lying to you. I don't want to talk about Fauci because everybody is talking about Fauci. And one of the things I learned from Rush, all those years, is don't talk about what everyone

else is talking about. And we only talk about things if we could say something that's different. That's the way I approach writing my columns and that's the way I approach doing the radio. And that's not to take away from anyone else who does this for a living. But you're going to hear a lot of analysis of Fauci such as it is.

There's not much really there to analyze. He pled the fifth. And I don't know how that is going to play out since he can't really take the fifth because he was pardoned. He was given a blanket pardon by President Biden.

And once the jeopardy is removed, this was settled in an 1896 case, Brown versus Walker. Once you've removed that, then you can't incriminate yourself therefore you can't invoke the fifth amendment to protect yourself from being incriminated. So because it's a blanket pardon, I'm sure that there are legal eagles out there or legal beagles or maybe even the reagle beagles out there who will analyze this more deeply

than I can. But I don't know how he does this, but I do know the politics side of it.

“That is what my expertise is, that's what my interest is in, is how things look.”

Now, start off with one small visual thing and you may laugh at me. I had a friend of mine, a producer from Newsmax, a veteran of the Old Rush Day's Mojo. He sent me a picture of Rand Paul, the way that it's framed on TV and he has behind him this young woman with long blonde hair, so it's like a member of the Swedish bikini team or something and he said, this is a mistake.

Rand Paul is going to distract everybody. No, literally nobody, sorry Rand Paul is going to be looking at you. And these are the kinds of frustrations that you have over the years with people. If you care about the issues as I do, I want to see people put their best foot forward.

Rand Paul is the kind of guy who's very smart, he's very interested in these esoteric things. Maybe he didn't consider this, didn't think about this kind of thing. Or the fact that this theater was going to go bust with Mr. Fauci, with Dr. Fauci.

“Sorry, gosh, you kind of call the guy a doctor, right?”

This is all a distraction to me and it plays really for both sides of the aisle because we know the Fauci things, the pandemic is a while ago now and I know people are angry. I don't mean to tell you to disabuse yourself of that anger. I don't mean to tell you with those of you who lost family members, I have an old friend who's husband passed away, they just wouldn't treat him.

And so he, well, they wouldn't give him the I vermectin and she's a she's a veterinarian. The family's veterinarians and they wouldn't, that was my original career was in veterinary medicine. That's what my degree is in. He is in the science, I am not in the science as Dr. Fauci so arrogantly said, but I have

a background in this enough to know what's going on and enough to know that when I had to wear the mask, I didn't care because I was used to working eight, nine, sometimes a double shift at the Animal Medical Center and Manhattan having a mask on and it didn't

I also knew that it was a talisman and as all of you remember from the pandemic, you

saw people anything and everything that could be a mask was a mask. This is if you were trying to ward off vampires by wearing garlic around your neck. That's not how it works. It wasn't going to work if you used a filthy decrepit disgusting mask that you saw people wear.

You would have to wear the right kind and they just didn't know. In fact, I have a clip of that of Dr. Fauci saying, no, no, you don't need to wear a mask. And I'll just play this. It's very brief. So you'll have to listen fast.

This is sound bite number one. This is just a little bit of what we got early in the pandemic from Dr. Fauci. Roll one. People should not be walking around with masks. You're sure of it because people are listening really, no, closely to this.

Right now, people should not be walking around with the mask. Waring a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet.

But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.

There are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.

“And can you get some schmutz sort of staying inside there?”

Of course. Of course. So much. That's the technical term. That's the medical term for it.

You listen to that. That's not just a small detail. That's the attitude that came across. And I hate to tell everybody, yes, doctors can be very arrogant. This is even the case with veterinarians.

People can be arrogant. And that's the thing about Fauci that was just so grading. And when I listened to the the entire debate, for instance, I wrote a column in the Washington Times about the I vermectin. And I said, I'm probably one of the only pundits.

If not the only pundit who has ever dewormed a horse. So I felt like I knew a little bit about it. And I said, it's just a tool. Tools are not good or bad. If you need a knife to cut your steak dinner, that's good.

If you need a knife because you're drunk and you want to do that, finger test where you try really fast to chop, chop, chop, chop, that's probably a bad use of that tool. Or if you contend to commit some kind of violence. And yet everything became divided on partisan lines. They decided what the line was.

Fauci was the lead of it. And he later said, well, I lied about that. I wasn't truthful. Now we have his diary at the time. He wasn't being honest with people.

He did it. He said later because he didn't want the mass supply to run out. Now, it's easy to say at this point that that would have been the time President Trump ought to have fired him and said, we're not going to lie to the American people during this no matter how noble your goal is.

But that's what he did. And he didn't fire because President Trump when he arrived there, he didn't know anybody in Washington.

He'd never even spent the night in Washington.

This was the guy they said is the smart guy. He had that white lab coat. That gives up people a lot of leeway. And I know this is frustrating. As I said, especially if you lost somebody to this, you see and a list of Milan on

a walk around with a knit mask and it drives you nuts. You say that's absurd. It's not going to do anything for you. And yet what is the important thing right now? I think we have to look forward, we have to look away from things like the Harvard Kennedy

School of Government that asked if this was a noble lie. That's what they called it. That Anthony Fauci lied about the masks because he didn't want there to be runs on stores. He wanted to make sure there was a supply for healthcare workers.

He didn't trust us to refrain, to restrain ourselves from buying, which I understand. Johnny Carson way back, he made a joke about there being a toilet paper shortage and he caused the toilet paper shortage because everybody watched Carson back then.

“Unlike guys like Jimmy Fallon where you have to come here to the Chris Plant Show to hear”

what he said last night, most of you. And so there was uncertainty and people understand that. And I think some of these people probably didn't know what was going on. They didn't know what the extent of the pandemic would be. Unfortunately, they then threw everything at the wall and they said, whatever we do is

going to be fine. And that was Fauci's sin. His sin was arrogance. It's a common one. And now we went through all of this today, all this pageantry and it didn't move the

needle at all. If you don't already have the people who are going to vote for you in November, based on the fact that you went after them, when after the people like Fauci who ran the pandemic and you're unhappy with it, you're not going to get them. And that may sound harsh.

I know I'm just a guest host. I'm arriving here, who are you to give us this opinion or you're telling us to go against the conventional wisdom? Well, that's what I do. That's the only way that I know how to be.

“And I look at the elections and I say, is this going to gain anything?”

Is this going to do anything to push back against the things like gas prices, things like the lingering inflation that came from the pandemic? The reason to do this would be to go to people and say, well, why did you spend so much? And many of us were complicit in it, saying, send out those checks. And any of us had no choice because they shut down our businesses.

Our restaurants, our entire ways of getting to work. We couldn't even commute on the subways.

you couldn't even get there.

So you had no choice. And that was the insidious part. I'm going to talk about socialism a little later.

“The important thing is to get control of you, to take away your freedom.”

You wonder why they target only some billionaires, not your governor, JB Pritzker there. We could keep making all of his money. He's a good billionaire, he said, between bites of a big hogey. No, yeah, he is good. But why do they want that?

They don't want anyone standing in their way. They want us looking to the government. And this was not the case in 1969 when we had a pandemic. If you watch some shows from back in 1969, you'll hear them mention what became known as the Hong Kong flu.

People just went mostly about their lives as they did in Sweden.

But what did the government do? They decided to take. This is absurd. Laura Glass, you may not have heard this name, but she's the daughter of a scientist. So not a scientist once removed.

And as I said, you can call me a scientist. I have the degree from Rutgers University to prove it. So random scientist, Rob Glass, his daughter, won a middle school science project. Actually, I'm not sure if she won. But she had a middle school science project, middle school on disease transmission.

And she provided the data that then these two doctors, not even guys who's done even epidemiologists, just doctors, Richard Hatchett and Carter Meacher. They took this middle school science project to said, let's tell everybody that they should this under George W Bush. They wrote out the pandemic guidelines.

Let's just tell everybody they've got to stay six weeks apart. Based on this, based on a middle, do you imagine what did you do in middle school science project? I'm probably a little older than most of you, but I don't know, I could say, I had that

Steve Austin, six million dollar man, lunchbox, and that seemed like you could just throw

a tree at the virus, he killed the virus. But the, and these are the mistakes.

“And I think what we forget is how forgiving people are going to be and how much people”

want to put it behind them. This is why the movie, it's a wonderful life was not a hit at the time. People who just gone through the war, they had empty seats at the dinner table. They were missing loved ones, they were many cases, they were blinded and injured from the war, dealing with PTSD, they called it battle rattle back after World War II.

And so they didn't want this happy go lucky message, and it was a failure that movie. But then later, it came back partially because they let the copyright expire, that's how much they cared about this great Jimmy Stewart film, and it became a classic. And we're in that period here with the pandemic, people are tired of hearing about it, people are tired of living with it, people want to very much move on, and that's a challenge.

That is a huge challenge. And I think this would have been nice if we got some kind of resolution, I guess now they'll litigate, maybe in the courts, and see if he can claim the fifth because of the pardon. But this other than moving a few people, in fact, I don't think that it will move anybody. Who is it going to move going after this guy?

People are very susceptible to this idea of he tried his best. He just tried his best, and it's hard. If it's an individual, we say, nail this doctor against the wall, when it's something big like this, it's much harder. And this is not defeatism.

It's recognizing that we have limited resources and limited time before the election, and that we need to spend it. And by the way, I mean, the American people discussing the real issues that matter. That's what people want, people are much more susceptible to that. No mask will protect you from being susceptible to that.

“And so I think that's what needed to be done here.”

I think Fauci, the guy is not going to go to prison, unfortunately, it would be nice. It would have been nice, in fact, if they'd hit the ground running with this in 2005, the minute that President Trump came in, it would have been nice if, say, Cash Patel, he could have been on this from day one. And instead, they did a lot of other things. I know they had a lot of things to do.

But this, this is something Rand Paul has been talking about. I know that Fauci here called it an obsession with him, which I don't think is fair. I would be obsessed. He's a medical doctor as well. I'd be obsessed with the truth as well.

And on hinge and all these things, once it's personal, people are just going to pick their sides. They're just going to try to say, well, I don't know who came out in this. And I don't like Rand Paul, I want to see him get it stuck to him. That's what you got from this.

So I don't want to talk anymore about Fauci. You could get that elsewhere, but that's my take on it, and six feet apart, by the way. I think I said six weeks of distancing. I'll be back in just 60 seconds, maybe or so. Scrolling with Hayley, I'm Hayley Carania, I scroll with the homies here in the live chat, because there's a lot to scroll through on X on Instagram on TikTok or cutting through the clutter, one hot take at a time.

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 Hayley.”

Just search that up and I will be there, follow and listen on your favorite platform. Welcome back, Dean Carania is here. God, you through this Wednesday edition of the Chris Blancho. In case it's so early for some of you, I envy you waking up later, you forgot what day it is. I just got a message, or I reached out to our legal beagle over at the New York sun, Ari, A.R. Hoffman, co-host with a record sugar of the sanity podcast.

And this is not because I wanted to plug in my sun.com, but it's because I want to find some more information and he's an attorney about the assertion of privilege here by Dr. Fauci.

“And so he explained that to me so that I could share it more knowledgeably with all of you.”

Senator Paul had said the chairman denied the assertion of privilege and directed Dr. Fauci to answer the questions, but he went ahead and he asserted it anyway. And there will be repercussions, so there we go. I've already been in the break. Not proven wrong and I'll explain why in a minute, but Ari tells me that to take the fifth there needs to be a criminal risk. And since he's protected by that blanket pardon for whatever happened in the past, he is not in danger of saving prosecutor for lying then.

But in the future, if he says anything today, that is perjury, that is false testimony, the pardon wouldn't protect him from that. It wouldn't protect him from something now. If he answers something about his underlying action, he could still be punished. So we will see. And Ari also says there would be fair juxtmith had the same risk and he didn't take the fifth and he's now being criminally referred for lying. So maybe Dr. Fauci knows a little bit more about why I'm sure he's getting good legal counsel. The best money can buy. He was the highest paid officer in the entire government.

And I don't know, as a small government person, that bothered me anyway. As somebody who doesn't like the idea of experts, I don't like the idea of people just declaring themselves that. I don't know, is there a day you weren't an expert and then you woke up the next morning and became an expert? No, of course not. You just self apply that term. Unfortunately, he was Henry Ford, who we now know was a raging anti-Semite, but nonetheless even a broken clock kind of thing. He said that he'd rather be ruled by just the regular people than all the experts.

And he didn't trust experts, didn't hire experts. And I would therefore just think go to legal sources that you trust for things like this and go for medical advice. And I think Dr. Fauci had way too much power. Don't subscribe to this idea. Oh, look how he was bragging and his diary about his press. Well, those of you in Washington DC will say the vapors shocking somebody in this town cared about their press.

This is never happened before. Of course the guy was watching his press. Of course you could tell he loved it.

“And on some level, if you want to give him a little bit of grace, you say, sure he was toiling in a little lab for all those years or in the PR office at the very least that he finally has his big moment. This is what he waited his whole life for.”

And he was so excited to finally get the recognition he thought he deserved and saved the country and he got way ahead of his skis and then it became about him. It's, it's a story you can pitch in a certain way. I am sure that will be effective. But it's right now looking at the past. And I would like us to look at the future, which we will be doing feel free to call 1 888639625. I would love to talk with you. Well, the issues of the day or my time in the rest one, but if you prefer, we will be back right after this break. Don't go anywhere.

Ooh, I think that's a little spin dockers unless I miss my guess. Thank you for that. I'm not bringing my own bumper music today. That's usually, believe it or not, how I build these shows out. That's another legacy of the old wrestling by the television show and wrestling ball show days.

Not to drop the name again, but I always feel like I have to credit the guy because I learned so much from him all those years.

And now today I'm like Alex in the movie Iron Eagle, I'm up there and the great Lugasa Jr. Chappy is trying to teach me to fly and I'm saying, "Oh, I don't have my music. I can't fly. You're not going to do it kid. You can't do it." And then what does he do? He pops in that walkman and even though that movie was vastly obscured by top gun, he pops in that cassette and all of us 80s kids there in the audience were cheering. He puts on those headphones and we really did believe it. We could listen to the right music at any given moment. We'd be able to fly in F-16.

It never entered our minds. That's not how things work. We really believed it.

I say, "Who looked at the women dancing behind them dressed like ladies and they're nice gowns?" And said, "Hey, we need to cover all of them up. We need to cover them with burgers. We need to maybe throw a guy in there.

We need to change everything. We have to have this new thing that we say conventional attractiveness.

Well, everybody knows. You know instinctively. People have done studies of children. People like you if you are pleasantly featured. I don't know that they would like me, but, you know, I understand it. When I did you work with animals, I used to be sure as a big imposing swar thee guy.

“Yes, I'm Greek. You may have gotten that from Carianas. Don't worry. You don't have to spell it. You just have to listen. You can find me at history dean if you want to connect.”

And I would appreciate it. But I would understand. People are going to react to me. Animals react to me in a different way. And they're usually they are abused by men. And I think we've tried this whole thing of just changing nature.

I said this spin doctor since that's always by then. It's the perfect name. People are trying to spin reality. They're trying to step outside of reality.

And I think that's a dangerous trend. You can't persuade people. You can't build a more perfect union if you have people that get confused. And wait a minute. That was the Stone Temple Pilots. Gosh, that was see. I built the entire segment around a mistake. But I, dear friends, I'm willing to admit a mistake. Again, you can call me if you want, but you don't have to. You can just listen. This is very passing. But if you would like to, I will open Chris Plants Airwaves to you 888-6309625. And you can call and if you get past the call screen today, Jasmine, thank you for screening the calls. If you can get past her, you can get on the air.

And I would love to speak to you. However, there's another little bit of radio insight for you.

I don't need callers. I don't want them in the sense that it's like a fat man swimming in a pool, I always say.

And we had many guest hosts over the years and I worked in TV, I worked at Fox News Channel for a while. You have a fat guy in a pool and he's sick. He's just out of breath. I could say this as a, well, I'm not, I guess I am. I don't know. You can't tell him on the radio. I'm not a fat guy. Well, I carry a few extra pounds. And you're in that pool. You're swimming around you. Picture your JB Pritzker out there. Imagine I'm in a pool. Well, it probably not be much water left when he does that cannonball, but you're a fat man in the pool swimming around and you just out of breath.

And you may even be a little scared. And so you look for anything you can grab onto. You look for another person or you look for the bar in the middle of the pool. If you're fortunate to have one or you look for that ladder on the side. And when people do radio, sometimes you feel the same way. And a sound by can be a life raft you grab onto or a caller or guests. And for me, I feel, I'm already the guest host. I'm not going to bring in somebody else unless I really need somebody who is going to bring you value as the audience.

And I would encourage all of you to look for that in your radio. I would encourage you to look for that in not physically open it up, but look for that in the radio. You list you. And I know Chris Plant does this. I know Derek Hunter on WMAL who I've been honored to guest host for a couple of times.

“Does it? You have to be the reason. You have to make that connection. And even though we only have a few minutes here together today, I wanted to make that connection with you.”

I feel you. Oh, but if you do want to call you are more than welcome to. And it's important to me that you be engaged. So if I hear from you, I got a little message here a minute ago that said, I was, "Listerine for my brain." This person told me via message. And I said, "Thank you." Somebody heard my at his 3D Twitter handle or got in touch with me some other way and did it. And so I would love to be Listerine for all of your brains. I don't think that's much of a catch raise. On to the news, though, with that housekeeping out of the way, federal judges chastize Trump's Justice Department for unlawful and unethical and unseemly those are all quoted.

Conduct. And you go and you read this. And what do they talk about? This is a story in ProPublica. What do they talk about? Well, they talk about the precious norms. Oh, yes, the norms. I don't know about you, dear friends, but the only norm I ever cared about, said in a bar stool at cheers. I don't care about norms since it's one of those words that's like experts only selectively applied. They don't worry about the other norms. They don't worry about the norms with Joe Biden.

Well, I'm going to find a way around that ruling because I want to be able to give away forgiveness for student loans.

“I want to make other people pay for it because I think that'll help me in the election. What does he do? He just goes ahead and he says, I'm going to ignore that. I'm going to find ways around it.”

Now, around it. That's okay. That's part of our system.

We're going to talk in a few minutes about this is one of the reasons why the socialists in this country now want to abolish the Senate. That's not a new idea. They wanted to do that for over a hundred years. I wrote a comment about that recently. The sewer socialists, isn't that a great line. It was meant to be an insult because those socialists wanted a govern and they would tell Milwaukee sewer system and say, hey, look, we can do a good job and we don't want to go crazy. We don't want to destroy the country.

I don't think that that's the case today, but we'll get to that in a moment.

“They talk about Trump having zeroed in on the presumption of regularity and that's what bothers them. This system is just supposed to track right along.”

It's supposed to just completely operate without any of us out there having any influence on it whatsoever. And I think that that's something so key because it does become a spectator sport. It does become something where people say, my side is doing this. I'm happy. If my side isn't doing that, I'm not happy. And if the other side's doing it, even if I might like it, I don't like it.

And that's the first line here across the country. Federal judges are calling out Department of Justice lawyers questioning in unprecedented ways.

They can't be questioned. What are you crazy? Whether they can be trusted to tell the truth or uphold centuries old legal norms. And what's interesting there is they say the justice department. But then the headline, what is it? Trump's justice department. Have you noticed this? You probably have your clever bunch. Somehow when a Republican is in, it's Trump's justice department or it's Bush's justice department or Reagan's justice department. And the same thing with Congress. It's the Republican Congress.

So they say this sometimes and it just greats on me. Maybe I'm alone. The Republican president said the Republican this through, well, there's only one president. We used to believe that. Used to believe there was only one president. Before we started treating some of them, like they were kids. You were pretending to let them steer the car. You know, George W. Bush was just supposed to sit in the lap of the real power in Congress.

I always said in the real power in Washington. And you'd let him pretend to steer, but dad would keep a hand on the wheel.

And you'd control the pedals and they were he wasn't really driving.

“It's not just Bush and it's not just Trump. That's how the government operates now.”

They don't want you touching any of their stuff. Stuff is a great word. That's what they want. That's my stuff. You stay over there. You just pretend. This was the directed Charles Schumer Chuck Schumer. I like to always use their full names because they like these cute little short names. You know, Joe Biden. There's a story way back that I like to cite in 72 in Joe Biden.

First arrived in Congress elected as Joseph Biden. Joseph Robin at Biden. And he just put out a, He didn't even do it himself. He just put it out through his press office referred to me as Joe, because he wanted to be able to call himself middle class Joe and then say other people call me that. People call me middle class Joe and I'm Chuck Joe and they call me. Now, nobody calls you that. You call yourself that.

But the press even then do to feel paid and he became Joe. So the same thing with Michael Bloomberg. The guy was Michael Bloomberg for his entire life. And then one day, he woke up and said, Mike is better. And the press overnight, Michael Bloomberg became Mike Bloomberg.

It was the weirdest thing that I ever stayed with to everybody just changes. Everybody just changes and decides, yeah, sure, we'll follow that. That's not how things are supposed to work. We want some basic news reporting. And this is the case with anybody. You can disagree with somebody. You can have a different opinion, but you still trust that not to be lying to you,

not to be smelling you, not to be fooling you, not to, not to be working actively against your best interest. The Justice Department has layers.

“Oh, gosh, remember when George W. Bush, he fired the US attorneys just three or four,”

comparatively because Bill Clinton fired all of them. It was more than three or four, but Bill Clinton fired all of them. As soon as he came in office, it was a Washington norm that the new president would come in and sweep out all the old deployments and put his own cronies in there. So Bill Clinton said, you all get out of here.

I don't want you and I want to put in some nice lady attorney's maybe, oh, yeah. A little single female lawyer action. That's who I want to have him.

And that was his right. He won even though, as funny as never mentioned,

he did not win the pop of the road either time. He won less against Peru and Bob Dol, first time against Peru and George W. Bush,

And that's fine.

Let me talk about the electoral college, Hillary Rails,

against it wants to get rid of it. But guess what? Without it, your husband wouldn't claim that mandate that he did. But this is the shifting things. This is why I try to remain faithful to the Constitution and not to individuals. I try to remain faithful to the truth and not to individuals.

“And I think most people, when you point it out to them that way, they say,”

that seems a pretty good way to think even if they disagree with me, which many of them do. So I want to just talk with all of you for a moment there about that idea of normalizing things. I have a call here. I'm not sure if I've time, so I will wait. I want to do Donna hang on the line because I can get to you after this break. That'll be a better time. So just sit right there, Donna. Don't, don't.

Leave me. I'm going to put you on from Frederick Maryland. Ah, a base of mine, a place where I've been honored to guest host there on the local affiliate.

That's a good idea to talk about that kind of thing.

Talk about that normalization. And since before we get to Frederick Maryland before we get to this break, we'll talk about this CBS Chicago story yesterday that new signs intended to deter crime are being posted on these Chicago transit authorities, buses and trains. Chicago transit authority, that was originally the name of the ban Chicago.

Those of you in Chicago probably know that, but those of you elsewhere, that was the original name of it. And they're going to put up these signs that say violence will be prosecuted, violence will not be tolerated. The Cook County State's attorneys office will prosecute and seek pre-chalved to pre-trial detention for all violent

“defenses on public transit. See what happens when your brain gets out of your mouth?”

That's it. Okay. Now, what struck me is the signs they showed were only in English, which seems awful strange. Are they some of those English only extremists? Surely there are other people, speak other languages. Don't we need to be a cosmopolitan city up there Chicago?

But I'm sure they have other language versions. I know for things like sexual assault. They put them up in Spanish, for example. But the stock answer, the stock talk radial answer. And I'm able to pick these things out.

I know the catnip that is in the talk radial business. I said it already, recall from those things because it's interesting to me. Therefore, I don't think it'll be interesting to you. But it's democracy and make fun of it. And there's certainly eye-rolling on my part.

But maybe, just maybe you start to signal to people what the broken windows theory did. And the broken windows theory, as those of you may know, who live through the 1990s, especially with Rudy Giuliani and New York City, as I did, is you start signaling that a broken window in a car or a building will be fixed. That was the test case. They put out a car that had no windows broken,

and they put out one of the broken window. And they looked at what the reaction was around it. And the one with the broken window gave the impression that this town, this place, is lawless. And so maybe, if I want to be charitable, because I love Chicago.

It's the first place that I met my wife in person.

I love Chicago. My kind of town. I lived in one of Frank Sinatra's old apartments. The one that he didn't grow up there. Well, he was young. He was in about 9/10/11 in Hoboken, New Jersey. And it's my kind of town. I want to see it do well.

I'm not one of these people, and you see them all over the spectrum.

“It says, well, that's what they voted for.”

This is not the America that I grew up in. We grew up speaking to people with all different backgrounds. Even if we disagreed, sometimes loudly disagreed. I was in high school during the Mondale Regan election. I was in sixth grade in 1980, and I ran our little school's committee for

Ronald Reagan for president. And we won. We crushed those John Anderson and Jimmy Carter people. And I'm friend. That's what I want. I want that kind of world where I'm still friends with the girl who ran the Carter campaign.

So what chance do we have? You guys are giving up Jelly Beans. We were giving up peanuts. All of more jelly beans for all of you. And I'll bring in Donna if she holds on right after this break.

Thanks for sticking with me. Dean Carianne is of the New York sun. Hello, welcome back to the Chris Plant Show. I am Dean Carianne. It's not in fact Chris Plant.

But I might say we grow in the same forest and swap thing, right? You get to be part of the green when you come in and sit for Chris Plant. I got a very nice message here at history dean on Twitter from Tim. Kim Keenan Tim says, don't sell yourself short. I enjoy your broadcasting.

I'm not suggesting Chris Plant will be wally piped.

What a nice thing to hear.

I do not want to be average. I want to be on the cutting edge of the silent evolution. I want to be the best at anything that I do. And it's funny Tim because I was thinking of wally pip. And I thought I can't make that reference.

And I can't dare to say that there's the whole wally pip. And you know who wally pip was. Everybody, don't you? Think about wally pip. Think about it.

Reach way back. Yeah, I know we have the internet these days. But we have to go back and try to remember things when we do. That was Lou Garrig.

Lou Garrig replaced while we were replaced while they pip.

And goes on to become a legend.

“And that's why nobody today remembers good old wally pip.”

But you do remember Lou Garrig. And so I did not make that. That's why I used gollies. Because gollies, you can understand a golly. You can still love. And sometimes you get it back up and the back up turns out to be really good.

So I appreciate that. I also appreciate Donna waiting Donna. Please stay on hold. You are in good hands with Jasmine. I don't want to risk cutting you off.

I was explaining that here to Michael the producer. I said my instinct is I don't want to put a collar on and have to cut you off because I am a guest host. And Chris might be able to do it. You all are Chris's audience. You would forgive it.

From a guest guy if I have to fumble there and cut Donna off and don't give her enough time. You're going to identify with her and you're going to save. Gee, this guest guy cut off one of us.

Chris never have him again.

“And I'll feel bad because I care about Donna.”

Just like I care about all of you. So Donna, if you can, please do. I know you've been on hold for 12 minutes here. Hold on through this top of the hour break. I would appreciate that very much.

And we can hear what you have to say. Dr. Fauci's inserting himself once again into the show. So we'll spend a few minutes talking about that. I also want to talk about Iran in the next hour. Or Iran as some of you say a little bit creating to me personally.

But I don't pick on you for doing that. I think that's going to be a. I guess maybe I'll say in lightning because I have an opinion on that that I don't think you're hearing elsewhere because I do try to take this overarching view. This helicopter view of it.

There's been so much that's just not been honest about this conflict. There's been so much for gotten from those days prior to that 1980 campaign. If you don't think I was running attack ads against my little friend there in sixth grade about the Iran hostage crisis. If they had to make me play on my little violin one more time.

Ty a yellow ribbon by Tony Orlando. Because that was going to bring the hostage home. I was a little kid. I was whatever. I was 10 or 11 and I was six grade.

“And I was thinking, well, don't we have aircraft carriers anymore?”

I'd probably the only little kid that was reading political cartoons. So that's how I got into this business. So we'll get to Iran in just a minute. We're going to sit through the top of the hour news. Enjoy finding out what's going on in the rest of the world.

And then I'll be back with all of you Dean Kerry Anis. They told you to say your name a lot in radio. So there's mine. But don't even try to spell it. It's okay.

I understand. Scrolling with Hayley. I'm Hayley Kerry. I'm Hayley Kerry. 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 the content that you won't find anywhere else. Scrolling with Hayley. Just search that up and I will be there. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
