Let's be clear, this is the socialist party of America, and they are standing...
that are crazy.
This election cycle will be a moment for us to stand together, not as Republicans versus
Democrats, but as Americans against socialism, and we've got to get out and make sure that we defeat this insurgency. He's not wrong, and foil, boy, do I miss that guy, that's former Virginia Governor Glenn Yunkie, voice of reason. It is the Chris Plancho, without Chris Plancho today.
It's Michael Pelka back from my friend, Chris has called in to jury duty, so I am here, holding down the fort, and hoping to get to everything today. Goodness, there's a bunch of stuff coming at us from all angles. Everywhere you look, it's Democrats, socialist popping up. The Senate panel actually voted to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress, and it does not need
a full-scented vote. So it's headed to the DOJ recommendation for prosecution. Maybe we shall see. We shall see. I hope it is an expensive process for Dr. Fauci, because it's a good idea.
Because he certainly deserves the process to be the punishment. I have little hope that he'll face any actual charges, but it will be an expensive legal process for him. Let's hope, let's hope, let's hope. The president was on the road last night, and Las Vegas will get to some of that.
Very interesting, very interesting trump moments. There was a really cute moment that doesn't work on radio, but I can explain it to you. The president was standing on stage, and a mom came up with her child talking about the
“benefit of the trump accounts that I think are revolutionary, where the child is born, and”
the kid gets a little money put into an account. The parents can add to it every year, and by the time that kid turns 18, they have a nice
little nest egg to get started with their revolutionary account, the trump accounts.
And as the mom was approaching the podium, the young child, the toddler, started making a beeline for the edge of the stage, and an 80-year-old Donald Trump saw it, stepped in, grabbed the kid, and one of my friends says, look at that, Trump saves the kids, Biden would have been sniffing them, I said, wow, it's a very good assessment of that. Yeah, that was the reality yesterday. The president on this sort of campaign swing, I
heard of the midterm elections, 89 days away from the midterms we talked about it earlier. The DSA backed candidates that are now fairly well entrenched inside the Democratic Party,
“and I think the Democrats have a huge, huge problem on their hands because these are well-educated”
Democrats. These are well-educated Democrats' socialist candidates. They are schooled. It's
not like the first round with the AOCs. These are very well-trained, and they are media savvy.
I look at this guy, Al Siyat. He is asking for five debates against Rogers, and Rogers is good, and I think he's background is excellent, but this guy is a skilled media person. He's been through the ringer already, and he doesn't blink, and he smiles the same way mom, Donnie smiles. El Siyat was on CNN, being called a socialist, while saying he's not a socialist, but I think he is a socialist. Well, he kind of admits it himself.
The positions that you've had on Medicare for all, or abolishing eyes, or billionaires tax, what do you think that looks like in terms of going for? We've heard some people be in Joan saying there are some positions that you have the U.S. to moderate on. Is that your plan? Is that your takeaway from what the margin was last night? Or what does that look like over the next 90 days?
Look, I think we've built a movement around the idea that we can get money out of politics, but money in pockets past Medicare for all. I think right now the question that people are asking is not where do you stand on the left right spectrum on a series of issues that people talk about on CNN? No, that is the question we're asking. Where do you stand on the left right spectrum? We would like to know, but continue. I think the questions
that people are asking is who's going to help me afford my housing? No, I think people don't really, or shouldn't really be looking to the government to
“say, you need to help me afford housing. That's kind of what Communism and Socialism”
does, but continue, sir. Who's going to help me afford my groceries? No, that's also something
You should be responsible for, for your groceries, but continue.
It's going to make sure I can see a doctor if I get sick. Well, Obama fixed that, right?
You know, even you could keep your doctor, right? I mean, you guys did that. Obama care was going to make medicine cheap and available to everybody, but carry on. I'm interested in entering those questions. I'm not a socialist, but I am a scientist. And so I like empirically driven answer or stuff. I'm not a socialist, but I am a scientist. Yes, he does have a medical degree. I'm not a socialist, but I am a scientist. So I do this
based on evidence. Do you? Hard problems. I like to solve them. We will see. This guy is very, very slick, very, very slick. Another one of the members of the DSA class of 2026 is this guy,
Chris Rabbe, who is up running for the house seat for the third district in the state of Pennsylvania.
And this guy, he made an appearance on Hannity. One of the most interesting things to me, and you may differ on this. You're welcome to join the conversation. We'll get to the phones here shortly. Triple 8, 6309, 625. The Democrats' socialists aren't afraid to go on Fox. The Democratic Socialists, the Mondamis, the Chris Robbs, the LCS, they will appear on Fox News. Even the members of the Democrats' socialists, the DSA committee, have been showing up and saying,
yeah, this is in our platform. We want to get rid of the Senate. We want to get rid of the presidency. But Chris Rabbe was on with Sean Hannity last night, and Hannity cornered him on the
“issue of abolishing prisons and the police. Would you like to abolish prisons and abolish the police?”
Well, you know, interesting about that statement is long before there was any notion of policing. We had founders that did not even understand that term. Policing is something as evolved over time. Oh, really? Really, the founders had no idea about policing. We had no idea about law and order. Interesting. Continue. Similarly, what we want is to have communities that are safe in 99% of what police do
are not going after the bad guys. 99% of what police do are not going after the bad guys. Well, there might be statistical evidence to back that up based on this amount of time someone spends on duty as an officer. But I think you're using that stat to try and say, if 99% of the time they're not pursuing criminals, then why do we need them? Well, you need them because you need them out there, but continue to serve with your ridiculous theory. All of that can be done in
different ways. So you support, so you want to do police? Okay, I'm talking about police that arrest bad people that commit crimes and commit robberies and rape the child molesters, the drug dealers, those people, the people that have guns, and the people who turn police existed though. What a ridiculous concept, but they're very well practiced with the media.
“And I think that should be a concern to everybody who is in the conservative side of things.”
I see the phones are absolutely stacking up. So we have to talk about some of this DSA stuff, get your thoughts in on this. Let us start with Marco in Springfield. Hello, Marco. Welcome to the Chris Blancho. Hi, Michael. You do a great job every time you suffer Chris. Thank you. I appreciate that. You're welcome. The perfect scenario. I assure you, you're concerned about the future of this country, but I think the perfect scenario for the upcoming elections would be for AOC to run against
Schumer. Now, I came out of his seat, then run for president in 2028, zoos in the landslide to
somebody with a brain and a future for the country. And that has sound piker dude. I have never seen
a bigger farmhouse at the full in my life. These overly educated, really rich people from foreign countries that come over here and tell us how to run our show here. Bernie Sanders, honestly,
“Vermont, what are you people thinking of here? The only thing he's doing is pushing communist”
candidates. Every one of those people that he was supporting in this past election cycle, all communists and clowns. I mean, it's time for Bernie to go. And it's time for Vermont to wake up. It's like he is not supportive of anything that's American. That man is a communist. He's always been a communist and he's here been out of office a long time ago. Well, I don't just agree with you that
Bernie should have retired a long time ago, but here's the problem that we have.
of Vermont keep electing the guy. And unless and until somebody steps up and offers a better solution,
“and someone else has voted it, you got to realize, Bernie almost was the Democrat candidate”
until the Democrats freaked out and made sure that he wouldn't win the nomination and they managed to shove Joe Biden in there. But the Democrat party started to wake up to him and even if it is only John Fetterman. I want to play a Fetterman clip for you about Bernie Sanders and he's Fetterman is quite clear on this. I wonder if the stroke he had is actually rewired his brain
correctly. But I just like to remind everybody watching right now. You know, Bernie Sanders will never
represent any more than 640,000 people in Vermont. That's all he's ever done and he ever will do. You know, he's lost his, he's never won an actual competitive election and now why can't, you know, stop giving me lectures on how to win. You know, Bernie's not flipping seats. He is helping install volatile and dangerous kinds of candidates and now put, you know, Democratic seats at risk. Fetterman understands that what Bernie Sanders is putting
radicals into the seats that are currently in blue districts and they're putting them through primaries. And if these people are as radical as the L. C. ads, there is a true risk that the Democrats could lose those seats if a serious conservative candidate pops up. Thank you, Marco. Appreciate it. Let's go rob in Toledo, Ohio staying on the, on the Bernie Sanders topic here. Hello, Rob. How you doing, Mike, do a great job, buddy. Thank you. Thank you. You're on, you're on the
Rob. You got the floor. All right, all I wanted to say was what is the Bernie, but out he's the one that says he's not a Democrat, right? He's an independent, so he's a fraud period. Well,
“I agree with you on who Bernie Sanders is, but the one thing that you have to agree with about”
Bernie, Bernie is constantly being asked questions and he's not afraid to answer a question.
Whether or not we agree with the answer is another thing. I think the Democrats sold their
soul to people like Bernie Sanders and they wanted that vote. So they said, Bernie, you can caucus with us as long as you vote with us and that gay Bernie incredible power. And now he's been there forever and ever, never. I don't think he's had a legit, not that a senator or a member of Congress is not a legit image job, but it's certainly different than being out here in the world and having to make payroll or having to put food on the table because you were out there, pay even drive
ways or torn roofs. But I don't think Bernie said a real job in his lifetime. Let me grab one more here at least, the phones are really happy today. By the way, Marie Alif was on the phones, so be very nice when you get Marie Alif on the phones that triple eight six three zero nine six two five. Let us go to David in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. Hello David. Welcome to the Chris Plant Show. Good morning. Hello, sir. Yes, my issue is with the term
Democrat Socialist of America. They are not the Democrat Socialist of America. They are out to destroy my country, the United States of America. That party in the year 2026 is the Democrat
“Communist Party. That's what they are. And we have to hear. Well, he's not saying stop saying”
Democrats Socialist because that term Socialist is a soft pillow word for Communists. Yeah, it is a gateway drug. I agree with you on that, but we have allowed because of the
beautiful free speech in our country, in the first amendment in our country, we have allowed
people who identify as whatever the heck they want. Sometimes it's men, even being allowed to identify as women. So it is kind of crazy. We allowed them to create the identity of Democrat Socialist and we accepted it for years and years and years, but can they themselves define it? I'll share a clip from three of the biggest Democrat Socialist just around the corner. It's O'Pelka in for plant on the Chris Plant Show.
It is the Chris Plant Show. Michael Pelka is my name in from my buddy Chris Plant.
If you've been here before, you may have heard me before, but I'm glad to be ...
got called the jury duty. I suspect he will be here, Maniana. I'm just saying. It'd be great Friday with Chris here, wouldn't it? We're talking about the Democrats Socialist and it really is
“crazy to me how quickly this has happened. I think it was Hemingway said. It happened slowly”
then all at once. Stuff like this happens very slowly. Then all at once and here we are. It seems like just yesterday we were looking at the four members of the squad going. It's just four members of the squad and now they're almost the normal ones in the Democrat Party. But who are the Democrat Socialist? And if you look at Bernie certainly as if we were going to create a Mount Rushmore of Democrat Socialist, which I'm sure they would love to have. God for bid.
Bernie would be on there. He definitely would be right up there, carved into the granite face. And I'm thinking they would want Ilhan Omar up there, but the burka you wouldn't be able to know who it was. And maybe AOC and I want to pressly, I'm wondering would- would- would- would Mayor Momdani make it? They probably insist on it. But that's not going to happen. So what happens when you ask a Democrat Socialist? What is a Democrat Socialist? First we're going to explain
what Democratic Socialism is. And what Democratic Socialism is about is saying that it is
a moral in wrong that the top one tenth of one percent in this country own almost 90 percent,
almost almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. The end. So Bernie, instantly calling for a redistribution of wealth right there, you know that. That's- that is the first principle he says. First, it's immoral that one group of people has more than another.
“That is the open door for redistribution of wealth. AOC, what is a Democrat Socialism?”
The emphasis in Democratic Socialism is on democracy. And it's not about, you know, it's- it's just as much a transformation about bringing democracy to the workplace so that we have a say and that we don't check all of our rights at the door every time we cross the threshold into our workplace because at the end of the day, as workers and as people with society, we're the ones creating wealth for me. Are you really? Wait to hear what the New York Mayor
thinks a Democrat Socialist is. It's Michael Pelke and for Chris Plant on the Chris Plant Show. It is the Chris Plant Show, Michael Pelke and for Chris, we were in the middle of talking about the Democrat Socialist. The DSA and the fact that they have so many different definitions of what the heck they are. I guess that truly is the big tent. You can identify it's just about anything. It'd be part of the DSA. Bernie talked about how, you know, it's about
the, the immoral status of who has so much that we have to, we have to make sure that more than the one percent have, have access to wealth. We have to, and I'm sure he's talking about redistribution of wealth. And then AOC wanted to talk about control of the workplace. She wanted the workers.
They always use that communist language, don't they? They go back to the old Soviet playbook.
Workers the world unite. Never mind the people who put their cheese on the line to start a company.
“Once the company is successful, you must let the workers decide. Yeah, the committee work,”
committee control of any business never works. Never works. So what is the mayor of New York? I think he's the current poster boy of the DSA. The smiling former rapper, you gondon who came to America, not to assimilate, but to take over. What does he think the democratic socialism is? You know, when you ask, what does it mean to be a democratic socialist? For me, it means to be fighting for a society in which dignity is guaranteed to each and every
member of this place. And I believe that the state should play a critical role in the distribution
of that dignity. And the ensuring that that dignity is actually received. First, we're going to dignity. Now, dignity is now a commodity that the government will be in charge of distributing. I wasn't just trying to wrap your head around this. Yeah, I'm here from my weekly
Allocation of dignity.
helping of dignity this week? Is there going to be a dignity czar? Pernies all for redistribution of
“wealth and property. And in the case of New York, I mentioned this earlier, the Mayor of New”
York has appointed this woman, C. O. Weaver, as the director of the mayor's office to protect tenants, and they are putting out documentary films that are beautifully produced films that are basically advocating for the elimination of private property. They're advocating for the removal of private ownership of property. They would like you won't be able to own anything. Wasn't that the goal? Mom Donnie, the video demonizing in one case, the first video they put out,
demonizes a billionaire as a calling him a Jewish slum lord. And the reality is the picture they
used in the video isn't even the right guy. God forbid that the guy they put in the pictures met by some of these radicals. It's a 13 minute video released by New York City Mayor Zoran Mondani. This is not by some Brooklyn-based narrative well skateboard writing documentary filmmaker. This is from the Mayor's office. It's slickly produced. Opened up with close up images of C. O. Weaver Werner, her Soviet red zippered sweater. It's a great piece out of the Washington-Free
beacon from the morning beacon, uh, sub-stack from Iliana Johnson. This is darn well worth your reading. But it's stunning because it's also untrue. If you are I made this movie about someone and put it out there, we would be sued. We would be sued for the misinformation that is here.
“But that's what they're trying to do is use control of the media. Now that they are due,”
they have power, they use this to try and affect change to their way of thinking. It's crazy to me. It's really getting out of control. I got to go to some of the calls because all of you have been jumping in today and want to make sure we get this out. Let's first go to Steven
Boston because you always get a great call from Boston. Hello, Steve. Welcome to the Chris
Plant Show. What is it up? Thank you, Michael. And thank you for the kind words. Very simply, I've lived here in the Commonwealth for almost 50 years since I was a student. And my wife has lived here for about 30. She is a, she's still a citizen of Europe. She wants to get naturalized, but has been worried that her country may take away her native citizenship. That's another story. Fast forward, she has a green card. She's legal. She's on town census as am I. And as I have
been since I lived in the Commonwealth. In almost 50 years, I've been called for jury duty twice. Okay. Okay. In the last 15 or 18 years, she's been called seven or eight times. Okay. God. Okay. Now, not a citizen. Can't serve on a jury. She calls up. Says, hey, not a citizen. Please change it.
“Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Doesn't get changed. Why is this important? Here, the government gives”
a legal, strivers licenses. And by the way, they give them, it's a lot easier to get an appointment than it is if you're not illegal. That's thing one. So since obviously, you know about motor voter, et cetera, et cetera, in my opinion, what's happening here is they're not removing her, even though she is clearly stated explicitly to the right people that she is not a citizen and can't serve on jury duty. So that's food for thought. And then if I may, I was going to suggest the following,
because I love hearing you on the radio, but arguably Chris as well, very simply when they're doing right here. And they say, Mr. Plant, what do you think or what are your views? Just as people who are trying to destroy our country support cash bail saying that the police are racist, or this is their thatest. And therefore, we shouldn't hold anybody in prison pending trial. I think Mr.
Plant might say, well, you're on her if the police arrest somebody, surely he...
And he'll be out of there in seconds. I gave Chris a two word phrase that I said,
“we'll guarantee to get him out of jury duty before you even get to volunteer when you check in.”
You just ask where the nearest bathroom is because you may have had a salad from a fast food restaurant. You have an explosive issue you're dealing with. That works, or at least it has for me in the past. But I'd like yours, too. He may get to volunteer. We'll see. I expect Chris to be here tomorrow. But thank you Steve, great stuff, great story. I appreciate you being there and thank you for the very kind words. Let us run to Bill in Wilmington, North Carolina. Hello, Bill,
welcome to the Chris Plant Show. Hey, Mike, thanks take my call. You got sir. You know, I called Ted I saw him on Fox News yesterday and tell us talking about his little hearing. And I said, you know, he didn't hear. I called him and said, I didn't hear anything. You let's save America. You know, I mean, that would solve that problem that people turn as apart from the inside, you know. But also, also, you know, can we keep socialists off the ballot? They tried to keep up off the ballot. Since
we have the juice right now, seems like we could get something through the Congress and just keep these people in total off our ballot. Well, I'm one of those people Bill who believes in the that the
that the American voter will ultimately make the right choice. We don't always make it the first time,
but maybe the second time we do. And if we block them from the ballot, we're no worse than they were for wanting to jump off the ballot. I say, let's let's put sunshine on them. Let's let them talk. The more these Democrats socialists talk, the more we see how ridiculous they are talking about limiting the Senate, talking about getting rid of the presidency. I think the people of Michigan will ultimately make the right choice when it comes to who their Senator will be. And they're not
going to vote for the nut job. He will, he will put up a good fight because he's a slick candidate.
But ultimately, my faith is in the American voter. We're not always showing up for the primary
votes, but hopefully they will show up for the important ones. And good point on yesterday hearing and no mention of the Save America Act. I appreciate you for being there. Let's go to Ken in Illinois. Ken, it's a pleasure to have you here on the Chris Plant Show. What is up, sir? Mike is a pleasure to talk to you. There's two major concerns that are troubling me. For once,
“for one thing, I believe this whole issue would fall to you. The important is it is,”
it's somewhat of a distraction from the importance that you would like for us in getting the Save
America Act passed. And also, I think it's a distraction. Well, first of all, let me back up.
Can you not get pulled over, are you? That's around. Where are you going to get a ticket for being on the phone? We've had that happen. Oh, no. Oh, we all wanted to get back to what I was saying. I can understand why the Democrats don't want anything to say of America Act, but I'm very confused about the Republicans walking it. That's an issue that's a lot of concern to me. And the fact that the switch topics, the situation over and over and I believe that the
whores in charge over there were having hard times seem to figure out who's in charge. But whores calling the shots, basically like they're making negotiations without our involvement.
“In other words, on the fifth position of the street or moves, and I think like that.”
So those are my two concerns and I think be happy to get your impression on those issues. Thank you. Two really good issues. Two really good topics. Let me tell you. First of all, regarding the situation with a ran we are expecting. And this is from the the press people from Iran, whoever you might think they are, is saying they have paperwork on a deal that they're going to release today. So I'm waiting to see that. I'm willing to keep an open mind on it.
And I hope the president sticks to his guns on this. And I'm using that language intentionally that they will not have a nuclear weapon. They will not have a nuclear machinery to get that done.
They will not control the straightive or moves or block any traffic through it.
happens with that. The second issue about the Save America Act is the previous caller said,
surprisingly we're not here in much on this. Well, there are discussions about the Save America Act and who is and who isn't willing to stick around and maybe try and force this through. I certainly had hoped it would have gotten through before. In fact, yesterday Senator John Kennedy, one of my favorites was on Fox Business with Larry Cudlow yesterday afternoon, I happened to catch it. There were there were several posts on social media saying that Senator Kennedy was among those
who had not signed the pledge committing to stay and not go home on recess in order to get the
Save America Act passed and Larry Cudlow called the Senator out on it. His response was typically wonderful John Kennedy. I'm prepared to stay here as long as it would take. I've been to a squelion meetings to talk about this stuff that could have been an email. I'd rather have a back alley colonoscopy than go to another meeting. It is time to vote. Well, I'm going to reach a agreement.
“It's time to vote. That's what God made votes. That's where I am. I always appreciate the country”
wisdom of Senator John Kennedy and for those who are saying he needs to be on the list of those who should be primary. I think at the top that list, the list that's being pushed around on social media is John Thun, who does appear to be a block on this. I'm a supporter of the Save America Act. Even if you need to break it down a little bit and not include as much, let's get voter ID. Let's get verification of citizenship in there. Let's get that done. I have little or no hope that
it's going to happen, but I'm a dreamer. I dream each and every day. I have time to take one more here. Let's go to Craig in Long Island. Craig, welcome to the Chris Plant Show. Hey, Mike. I'm just recovering from the the back alley colonoscopy. He's brutal. I was picturing
in my mind for a second. The Mount Rushmore of the left, the meeting they would have.
And I thought the first thing when they realized they were drilling into rocks that belong to indigenous people, that would probably clutch the entire project. If they went forward, they would have to use explosives with the rock, which would trigger everybody. And I looked up it took 14 years to do four faces. And for them to do LGBTQIA plus Bernie plus that,
“I tell them a long time. I think they would, they would give up.”
You probably write the tape. They make something out of tape and match you out of like recycled paper or something, but. Well done, Craig. Very accurate. The environmental problems in the stolen land issue would squash the whole project before even nailed down who would be on it. Well done, really good stuff. It's Michael Bell Diamond for Chris Plant, another crew. It is the Chris Plant Show. Michael Pelcomine, I'm sitting in for my friend Chris Plant.
Just reading a local story here, as you know, the DC Merrill and area, the home of the the main station of the Chris Plant Show, WMAL, and reading a piece that it's a heartbreaking story about a bunch of kids that stole the car and then ran into another car and killed the guy going to work this morning. And it's heartbreaking on every single level, especially when you read
“the story about the gentleman who lost his life, the 58-year-old father of, I think it's five”
kids, longtime mechanical engineer, just a work and stiff, who won't become at home to his wife and his family because a car was stolen by a 13-year-old boy. And I think there were six other kids in the car. They're all injured as well. They happened at five, five, 25 this morning. And you think, what's the appropriate punishment for the kids who stole the car?
There are some who say, well, they're injured.
they're others who are saying, well, they should be treated like adults, but they're children.
“So are the parents to be punished? We don't know. And then I, a piece by a friend of mine who writes”
on broad and liberty talking about, as we face the onslaught of the Democrat socialists in our
world today, this is a time for choosing. And some of the issues going forward with the Democrat
Socialist deal with educating the kids that are in school today about what they're facing
“because we do have, I believe, a society that tore down the family, that tore down marriage,”
that tore down education and just went into teaching kids that everything's okay.
So it feels like a loss of faith and families at the core of all of this. It still doesn't help the family that lost a dad, a wife who lost a husband, and it certainly doesn't help the seven kids who were in the car that are now dealing with whatever injuries they have. If you're so interested, Guy Shiraki has a piece on broad and liberty called the time for choosing again. And that reminded me of something that former President Ronald Reagan said when he talked
about a similar problem we were facing over 50 years ago, we'll get into it just around the corner. The brilliant words of Ronald Reagan as we again face the threat of socialism and communism in this country. It's a time for choosing. It's Michael Palke in for Chris Plant on the Chris Plant show. Hosted by former Navy SEAL, Mike Ridley, what is your take was it what you expected?
“How is the best thing ever? It was something I always wanted to do. If you show me a”
clear goal, I'm like, okay, I can do that. Master Chief, he's like you realize there's about one percent chance that you make it through. One percent, that's all I need, Master Chief, my Patum went home early and I just went up to my Chief and I was like, I'm not doing all. Turns out I'm scared. That's when we go to war. Yeah, I was like, okay, I could get used to this. Mike's Rob, follow in listen on your favorite platform.
