00:00:30 - 00:00:49 | Speaker 3:

When asked during a briefing last week about the administration's response to several outbreaks of an intestinal illness caused by the parasite cyclospora, President Caroline Levitt said that the White House is, quote, closely monitoring the situation. But just to be safe, Trump has been avoiding leafy greens for the past 80 years.

00:00:49 - 00:02:36 | Speaker 4:

Well, you could insert any number of corpulent politicians in that joke and probably get the same or bigger laughs. I think the five used Jerry Nadler or used Chris Christie. And welcome to Tuesday. It is the Chris Plant Show. Mike Opelka in for the vacationing. Chris Plant, happy to be here. thrilled to be here yeah the uh the leaf problem the leafy lettuce problem is still bewildering us uh even though at the end of last week we thought we had it locked down to this taylor farms now that's just a voluntary recall because the cdc said as we learned yesterday it was a false positive. The test was a false positive. We can't put all the blame on the people from Taylor Farms. Maybe we'll try, but we can't. In any case, it continues. And now, where is the blame going? The blame storming has now landed squarely on, at least from the Democrats' point of view, on the shoulders of the White House as Dick Blumenthal, Mr. Stolen Valor, is blaming the Trump administration because it's the Trump administration's fault, right? Yes, of course it is. Of course it is. As Chris likes to say, you people, Dick Blumenthal yesterday, Okay, Da Nang Dick, as he's like to be called, or doesn't like to be called.

00:02:36 - 00:02:58 | Speaker 2:

We are in the midst of a public health crisis involving psychospora. I'm hearing that there are cases in Connecticut. I can't confirm for you the number. But one of the reasons why I feel such a sense of urgency is that psychospora will infect probably all 50 states by the time this crisis is done.

00:02:58 - 00:03:28 | Speaker 4:

So he's predicting it will hit all 50 states, really. It's going to get to Alaska. It's going to get to Hawaii. We currently have it in a decent-sized number of states. I think it's a couple of dozen states. The major concentration seems to be through the Midwest, up and down the Midwest. But Michigan has the lion's share. I think more than two-thirds of the cases are in the state of Michigan. But Da Nang Dick wants us to believe this is going to be a nationwide crisis.

00:03:29 - 00:03:35 | Speaker 2:

And even now, there are potentially thousands of cases under review.

00:03:35 - 00:03:56 | Speaker 4:

So anybody who's got diarrhea right now is being suspected. I guess this is kind of like COVID, when every cold, every flu was labeled as COVID. Now we're going to all say that this is Trump's fault because he didn't have enough lettuce inspectors out there on the job.

00:03:56 - 00:04:05 | Speaker 2:

Demanding answers today from the CDC about why so much time was required, why the delay and the apparent incompetence.

00:04:06 - 00:04:59 | Speaker 4:

Well, if anybody would know about incompetence, it's you, sir. So we hope you get to the bottom of this. And I mean that in the most physical sense. I hope you actually have to inspect bottoms to find out a reliable answer for yourself. And I apologize for that imagery. My God. Busy day. busy day. We have hopefully some news and update on what's going on with our war with Iran. I know Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War, will be speaking with the Senate, be answering questions in the Senate today, as we are told that by the Pentagon in a report that there have been almost 100 service members injured since just July 7th. And we know we've lost three, possibly We talked about that yesterday when the identities of two of them were revealed.

00:05:00 - 00:08:00 | Speaker 1:

25-year-old service member from Hawaii and a 19-year-old service member from Texas, both among those who were killed in action this past weekend. But we will maybe hear something today. Again, yesterday we reported there was a discussion of a possible 10-day ceasefire in order to get some kind of understanding, again, between the U.S. and the Iranians. And a report came out yesterday, has not yet been confirmed, that says the Ayatollah, the current Ayatollah, may be out of Iran, may have left the country already. And where would he go was my question. I talked to a friend of mine who's a security analyst. You've seen him on Newsmax. His name is Rich Kolko. So Rich, former Navy fighter pilot, former FBI, former intelligence analyst, got a note from someone that said that they believe that the current Ayatollah had left the country. Again, waiting on confirmation on that. If that's the case, that probably means the IRGC is in charge, the Republican Guard would be in charge, which could be a good sign that maybe there will be a splintering in the country and we'll be able to get some sort of structure built inside. I'm not sure. We'll wait and see. But if you if you know who Rich Kolko is, you know, his information is solid. But also yesterday, right about this time, we were reporting on the incendiary device that blew up or was ignited outside of the Manhattan FBI and ICE building. Just a couple of blocks from City Hall in New York City, there was a veteran who ran up to the building with a bucket filled with some sort of flammable liquid, they speculate, gasoline, and some possible fireworks mixed in with it that I guess he was hoping to go off, maybe a distraction. And he lit it on fire. It was a big fireball that was captured from an office building just across the street. And then he was quickly caught. He had a manifesto in his backpack. He had some airsoft weapons with him, not actual firearms, but they look a lot like firearms. and he was spouting some anti-ICE statements. So this appears to have been some kind of an attack on the ICE facility. I don't know what guy was thinking, what single guy was thinking he was going to accomplish with this, but he's now in custody and we'll find out what happens on that. He's probably still in custody in that building. I was told by the same guy, Rich Kolko, who, former FBI agent, that that building has holding cells. So we will see what happened there.

00:08:00 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 1:

I want to get to a couple of other stories today. One of them, I think, is going to help us understand what's going on with the Democrat Party. And you're welcome to join in on this conversation at any time at 888-630-9625, 888-630-9625. I believe the best way to understand what's going on with the Democratic Party is to do a parallel to the COVID and what happened. Because I think the case can be made that the Democrats were actually hoping to use the little growth of Democrat socialism to make their party look normal. Now, follow me on this. I believe the Democrat Party was looking for a way to make themselves appear normal. You've got to remember, over the past few years, you've had the AOCs and the Ayanna Pressleys and the Ilhan Omars, the squad members, if you will, who have gotten the limelight and taken the limelight away from the Nancy Pelosi's, who've taken the limelight away from the Hakeem Jeffries. The squad members seem to get all of the attention, and they were viewed as the crazy Democrats, right? We looked at them as the absolute nutjobs. They weren't reasonable. They could not be bargained with. They would not work across the aisle in any way, shape, or form. And there was this little group of people inside the party, these Democrat socialists. Bernie calls himself a Democrat socialist, but he votes pretty reliably with the Democrat party. And suddenly they had a bunch of these candidates who were bubbling up all around the country. and he got Mom Donnie in New York.

00:10:00 - 00:12:13 | Speaker 2:

York City, who ends up getting elected because there really were no other candidates and the primaries didn't have any kind of decent turnout. And if you're organized like these Democrat socialists are, then your guy gets into that slot on the ballot. And in New York, where it's eight to one, Democrats to Republicans, you could have run Satan and he would have won against almost any candidate with an R after their name because Democrats vote that way. They get in line. And so you suddenly had this this breakout of this one candidate, which led to the situation in Seattle, the situation in Portland. You've got Karen Bass and Nithya Rahman, both fighting for the mayor's race in California. Now you've got these Democrats, socialists with some really radical ideas who are gaining traction. And it doesn't look good for the rank-and-file Democrat Party. It doesn't look good for the old guard. And I think they're starting to get worried. And this does seem to me like the Democrats were kind of messing around with a gain of function on Democrat socialism, and it broke out. It leaked out of the lab. And it's very contagious among the young people. There's all these promises and stuff without any real credibility behind it. And it sounds great to all the young people. But again, no credibility. You can't get it done. So now you have this wave of Democrat socialism, this virus that's gotten out of the lab. And I think the Democrats are freaking out. And they're starting to call out the old guard to have them make statements. Andrew Cuomo, the love gov, the former governor of New York City. And certainly a name with a lot of credibility among the Democrat Party. Andrew Cuomo is trying to tamp down the Democrat socialism virus that's hit his party. He even appeared on Fox yesterday.

00:12:13 - 00:12:18 | Speaker 1:

There was no such thing as free. Someone always pays.

00:12:18 - 00:12:32 | Speaker 2:

Gee, isn't that what we say whenever we hear the stuff from the Democrats, socialists, or from the communists? No, there's no such thing as free. Medicare for all is not free. Someone's paying for it. Gee, Democrats sounding like Republicans?

00:12:32 - 00:12:48 | Speaker 1:

This is a dream. This is nirvana. This is utopia. And they're selling to young people who are buying it. But it's not going to work. And the socialist movement is the best thing the Republicans have going for them.

00:12:48 - 00:13:44 | Speaker 2:

Now, I agree with him on that. I think that's actually correct. I think the socialist, the Democrat socialist, the communist gateway drug of the Democrat socialist is a very good thing for the GOP. And as we learned yesterday with the CNBC Washington Post poll, the the benefit that the Democrats had, the lead is down from 20 points to four points. So it's almost exactly a tie if you factor in the margin of error. I think the Democrats are starting to freak out as they see this and they are starting to call in the cavalry, as it were. We even saw yesterday a Democrat senator who might be considered a unicorn today, Democrat Senator Peter Welch, talk about the border that President Trump was right.

00:13:44 - 00:14:00 | Speaker 3:

You know, I think this blame game is just pointless. The fact is that we have a secure border. President Trump was right. Democrats were wrong on that. Also, we have broad bipartisan support. We should deport violent criminals.

00:14:01 - 00:15:00 | Speaker 2:

Isn't that amazing? I couldn't believe I saw that on CNN. A Democrat who said that Trump was right on the border, that Democrats were wrong and were OK about deporting these violent criminals. I wonder if the Maryland man knows that. I wonder if Kilmore Abrego Garcia knows that. This this is an amazing change. So this is one of those parallels I'm drawing here that said, hey, the Democrats were fooling around with something that they hoped would make them look normal. Now, it still could. If you point to all of these candidates that are running, all of these far left candidates that are running on the Democrat socialist ticket that will be on the Democrat line in the ballot. it still could make Democrats like AOC, like Ilhan Omar, like Rashida Tlaib, like Ayanna Pressley, like...

00:15:00 - 00:15:26 | Speaker 4:

Akeem Jeffries, it would make them look normal. However, these are people who will not stop with just a position. They're aiming at destruction, not just of the party, but of the country. What do you think? 888-630-9625. 888-630-9625. It's Opelka in for plant on the Chris Plant Show.

00:15:30 - 00:16:03 | Speaker 5:

We'll be right back. listen and get a one dollar trial shopify.com slash listen

00:16:03 - 00:17:45 | Speaker 4:

this is the chris plant show michael pelka in for my friend chris plant who is a vacation and hopefully enjoying his vacation uh to the fullest as we all show we have a lot to get to today, but I was initially talking about the Democrat Socialist leak of the Democrat Socialist virus, not an information leak. I think this is really a curious situation where the Democrats were probably, in my opinion, this is a wild speculation, I could be completely wrong, I've tried to highlight some of these people to get interest in voting because turnout is really the decider. When the country is split so closely down the middle as we are, some say it's 45% one, 45% the other, and there's 10% in the middle that are up for grabs. If you can energize your base and get them out, even if they're somewhat fringy with these Democrat socialists, but I think the Democrat socialists are now drunk with power the way the squad was. Remember when AOC and the squad members and some of the protesters took over Nancy Pelosi's office? And I think that was the window into what that kind of energy could do. And the Democrat socialists are encouraged by that. Phones are open, 888-630-9625. Let's go to Dave in Silver Spring, Maryland. Hello, Dave.

00:17:46 - 00:18:48 | Speaker 1:

Hey, Michael. um these kind of movements are cyclical you even i'm sure you remember the musical annie they referred to the anarchists who were throwing bombs trying to change the political scene they are always out there and they always flow with the current of politics but what i think is going to happen here is first of all i don't think this current crop has the patience to go the long run There's an old quote, and I know I'm going to mess it up, but there's an old quote by a Muslim saying he who reacts in five years or 20 years or something like that acts in haste. The Chinese, the Muslims, they have the patience to wait out their enemies, but I don't think these people have that. It's like now or never. So when they're marginally successful, which they probably will be given the current climate, They're going to get frustrated, and I think they're going to turn to violence, and that's when I think the American people will turn against them.

00:18:48 - 00:19:04 | Speaker 4:

Well, that's an interesting point. After yesterday's incendiary device tossed at the FBI ice building, maybe that was a key point. We'll address that, as CNN did, just around the corner. It's Mike Opelka in for Chris Plant on The Chris Plant Show.

00:19:04 - 00:19:20 | Speaker 2:

eczema. Hey, it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this, but I have eczema, so I get how it can steal your time. But why let eczema take over when you can talk to your doctor about EbGlis?

00:19:20 - 00:19:58 | Speaker 3:

EbGlis Lubrikizumab LBKZ, a 250 milligram per two milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies ebglyss can be used with or without topical corticosteroids don't use if you are allergic to ebglyss allergic reactions can occur that can be severe eye problems can occur tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems you should not receive a live vaccine when treated with ebglyss before starting ebglyss tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection Paid partnership with Lily.

00:19:58 - 00:20:08 | Speaker 2:

Respect your time. Ask your doctor about EPCLIS and visit EPCLIS.com or call 1-800-LILLY-RX or 1-800-545-5979.

00:20:13 - 00:22:56 | Speaker 3:

It is the Chris Plant Show. Michael Pelke in for my friend Chris Plant. Hope you are enjoying your coffee today. If you're a coffee drinker, I was just talking with Michael Piercy during the break. He was reloading his coffee mug. And I said, well, feel confident. The latest medical report says you can have, I think, three to five cups of coffee. Most people check with your doctor. It's okay. And as a matter of fact, it might even be good for you. Also, remember, a cup is eight ounces. One of those giant thermoses people are carrying is a lot more than eight ounces. So don't think you can drink that eight times a day. You'd be running to the bathroom all day without having to eat lettuce, too, I know. Lots of questions. When we left, we were talking about, well, we were talking about the way the Democrat Socialists are shifting and shifting the Democrat Party. And I do believe it's like COVID. It was developed in the lab and then leaked out, as China would tell us, even though we know we think they released COVID. But in the case of the Democrat socialists and this push towards radical socialism, which will eventually destroy a country if it's allowed to take root, I think this was a Democrat experiment that's gone horribly wrong on them and could lead to problems. And a caller just said, hey, it might be violence that's coming because if they don't get their way. And we saw yesterday in New York City, just before nine o'clock, this veteran whose name I don't want to give criminals the promotion by spewing their names over and over again. But this veteran, this military veteran in captivity right now under arrest and likely to be charged with a serious crime on video, we saw this guy dump liquid down the entrance area. It was the employee entrance to of a building that houses the FBI and ice in lower Manhattan, just two blocks from City Hall and then lighted on fire. He was caught with some airsoft rifles, a manifesto, anti-Ice statements were made. He seems to be a violent guy. But is this the case? Is this the case that we have to be worried about violence from the left? Well, it was a subject of discussion yesterday on CNN and a very interesting response from one of their experts.

00:22:57 - 00:23:03 | Speaker 1:

when you were looking at risk levels and trend lines right now when it comes to political

00:23:03 - 00:23:44 | Speaker 2:

violence, what are what are you watching? I think I have not seen this much political violence in in dozens of years. I think you go back to the 80s since you've had this kind of thing. And back then it was the right way. You know, the white supremacists, things like that, The posse comitatus, things like that. And now we've got the left wing, the anarchists and the anti-government people. So it is probably the highest I've ever seen it. And it's it's kind of indicative of a lack of civility about about how we address differences.

00:23:44 - 00:25:00 | Speaker 3:

I don't think it's that new of a thing from the left, if you were paying attention, sir. Now, he brought up something I had not heard before, saying that there was a group, a far-right extremist group called Posse Comitatus. I always think of posse comitatus referring to the Posse Comitatus Act, which is a federal law from 1878 that was passed during Reconstruction, which prohibits federal military forces for domestic law enforcement purposes. I had not heard of a far-right terror group called Posse Comitatus, but yes, that did exist, founded in Portland, Oregon. Now, isn't it interesting to see that in Portland, Oregon, we're seeing a far-left group that has been wreaking havoc on that area for quite some time? We talk about the autonomous zones in parts of these cities. You see Seattle, Portland, where there were violent attacks on government buildings. And this guy...

00:25:00 - 00:27:53 | Speaker 1:

He doesn't seem to have any memory of that. And if we want to talk about violence from the left, we only need to look at the great number of school shooters who have been wreaking havoc and killing people and wounding people. And most of that seems to be coming from far leftists. But this guy, Stephen Moore, the law enforcement contributor to CNN, I think he's gotten it completely wrong. You forgot about the summer of love. You forgot about the violence from the far left when following the George Floyd killing. And the left's reaction has always been violence. I think it's possibly going to get a lot worse, though, as we are concerned, unless something is done, unless there is a crackdown. And I think you need to have that happen. The other end of this is, as I was saying, that I do believe the left is starting to freak out a little bit. I think the left is starting to get very concerned. The Democrats are starting to get very concerned. And over the weekend, you had Van Jones, who, let's remember, Van Jones was the green jobs czar under Barack Obama. Briefly, an employee of that administration, briefly, but his communist roots were exposed. And I remember it quite clearly. Van Jones initially was considered to be this very loquacious, personable member of the Obama administration who was going to push us all to green jobs, going to move us out of fossil fuels into green jobs. And he even had a prisoner program that was going to teach prisoners how to install solar panels, and the government was going to help pay for it. And Van Jones was famous for saying something that we should never forget. We should never see Van Jones in his expensive tailor-made suits and not remember this statement. He said, you have to drop the radical pose to achieve the radical ends. Van Jones has been somebody who's been on the communist side of things for more than a decade. We could almost pretty close to two decades who came out of George Soros sponsored groups to make it all the way into the White House. But he's still out there and he's still being paid by CNN to to add his thoughts to everything. He calls himself a progressive Democrat. He is a communist, socialist communist, in my opinion. When you say you have to drop the radical pose to achieve the radical ends, you're telling us that you're wearing a costume, which is what he's done.

00:27:53 - 00:28:51 | Speaker 1:

And he did push back against the far left of his party this weekend, which I find interesting because, to me, Van Jones is the far left of the Democrat Party. But I think they're worried that the Democrat socialists are just going too far. When they talk about abolishing the Senate, they talk about abolishing the presidency. They talked about some of the DSA officials have talked about abolishing the presidency, getting rid of the presidency and coming up with something. I don't know. We'll call him the head honcho. Those are the words. But this weekend, Van Jones posted a thought about it and then had to had to make an appearance on CNN to walk back some of the things or to get angry at Fox News over some of the things that they said, calling him a communist. But in case you missed Van Jones, a little bit of what he said this weekend.

00:28:52 - 00:28:57 | Speaker 2:

I've been waiting my whole life to see a youth movement do what it's doing. But it's being hijacked by people.

00:28:57 - 00:29:12 | Speaker 1:

Being hijacked by people. Yes. The virus got out of the lab. The Democrat virus they were working on and weaponizing got out of the lab and being hijacked by people. Continue, Van Jones.

00:29:12 - 00:29:27 | Speaker 2:

I've been waiting my whole life to see a youth movement do what it's doing. But it's being hijacked by people who are putting in nutty ideas supporting terrorists, nutty ideas saying we don't need cops in prison. We can't we can't deport anybody, even if they rape somebody. Who said this? Chevalier.

00:29:28 - 00:29:52 | Speaker 1:

Chevalier is one of the DSA candidates, won a primary, knocked out a longstanding Democrat. There is panic inside the Democrat establishment. Although I will tell you, they're going to use the crazy ideas of the Chevaliers to make the AOCs and the Ayanna Pressleys look normal. There's more from Van Jones.

00:29:52 - 00:30:00 | Speaker 2:

If we can't say right from wrong, if we can't say good from bad, if we can't separate progressive ideas from regressive ideas, we're going to.

00:30:00 - 00:30:04 | Speaker 1:

on the same pathway that has pulled the Republican Party into an unrecognizable shell of itself.

00:30:04 - 00:30:11 | Speaker 2:

Now, I disagree that the Republican Party is an unrecognizable shell of itself, but continue,

00:30:11 - 00:30:26 | Speaker 1:

Van. I refuse to let that happen to Democrats. I am a progressive Democrat. You want to talk about prison reform? I've done it as well as anybody, Republican, Democrats in the South with Trump. I've done prison reform. I never said, have no prisons. Where are you going to put the

00:30:26 - 00:30:37 | Speaker 2:

Klan. Oh, oh, oh, where are you going to put the Klan? Where are you going to put the bombers who line up and try and blow up an FBI building? He's always going to work in that little radical

00:30:37 - 00:30:47 | Speaker 1:

stuff there. I've done police reform. I never said no police. Where are you going to put the pedophiles? Who's going to grab the pedophiles? This stuff is going too far. See, even the left

00:30:47 - 00:32:38 | Speaker 2:

is saying this stuff is going too far. They're starting to panic because the virus has gotten out, and it is uncontrolled, and it's morphing into stuff that they had not planned on. He just admitted that the extremists have hijacked the party, and I don't know if they can put the genie back in the bottle, so I do predict what they're going to do is attempt to make this, attempt to make this outbreak look like it's really crazy, it's a small percentage and that you have to look at the at the aocs of the world because they're the normal ones but you know what they're they've got a problem there too they the democrats have a problem too i i take you to uh minnesota where a democrat named peggy flanagan is running for office peggy flanagan it sounds like a good irish girl right yeah peggy margaret flanagan she's running for office in minnesota isn't she uh peggy flanagan started a uh a rally this weekend by speaking ojibwe peggy flanagan everybody this is the the realist version of peggy flanagan is what you're getting right now this just wants you to realize that peggy flanagan says this is the realist version. By the way, horrible grammar. This would be the most real version of Peggy Flanagan. The nuns would give you a demerit, Peggy Flanagan. It's not the realist. It's the most real version. Maybe she's trying to talk like the people, though. But the people she's talking like, they speak a different language.

00:32:46 - 00:32:54 | Speaker 3:

My name is Peggy Flanagan. My Ojibwe name is Speaks in a Loud and Clear Voice, Women.

00:32:56 - 00:33:20 | Speaker 2:

My name is Peggy Flanagan, but my Ojibwe name, which is Chippewa, Native American. She's given herself an Ojibwe name. I'm sure her ancestors are rolling over in their graves in Ireland somewhere. She's got an Ojibwe name. I forgot what she said that name meant. Let's go back there.

00:33:21 - 00:33:26 | Speaker 3:

My name is Peggy Flanagan. My Ojibwe name is Speaks in a Loud and Clear Voice for Women.

00:33:29 - 00:33:40 | Speaker 2:

Her Ojibwe name means Speaks in a Loud and Clear Voice for Men. I think she means men and women. I don't know. Technically, you know, the gender thing confuses these people.

00:33:40 - 00:33:43 | Speaker 3:

I'm a member of White Earth, and my family is the Wolf Clan.

00:33:43 - 00:34:59 | Speaker 2:

I don't know what's scarier, that a Democrat candidate for the Senate is calling herself by a Native American name, speaking in a Native American tongue in the state of Minnesota, or that the people are applauding for her. What's scarier? It is a conundrum. Is it me? 888-630-9625, 888-630-9625. Is it me or are these people truly crazy? I do believe the Democrats have a serious problem and they're right to be worried about it. But I'm predicting they're going to try and say that this is just a small, small portion of their party. and it's kind of like pushing the Overton window really far left. So suddenly AOC and Ayanna Pressley and Hakeem Jeffries and the far left from six months ago is now the center of the party and they're trying to normalize their crazy. Maybe that's what's happening.

00:35:00 - 00:35:07 | Speaker 3:

Let me grab a quick phone call before we go to break. Nick is calling from Purcellville, Virginia. Hello, Nick. Welcome to the Chris Plant Show.

00:35:07 - 00:35:09 | Speaker 4:

Hello, Mike. Good morning.

00:35:09 - 00:35:10 | Speaker 3:

How are you, sir?

00:35:10 - 00:35:32 | Speaker 4:

Hey, you know, I've known for years that the benefits of coffee, and, you know, some doctors are treating their cancer patients with coffee enemas. You know, so I knew this for years, that if I drink a couple cups of coffee, you know, without a donut or a Danish, that it's just the gravity-fed enema, and it's beneficial.

00:35:33 - 00:36:03 | Speaker 3:

Well, thank you for the imagery. I love that. We haven't had the word enema used twice in a phone call in a long time. But, yeah, there is that power in coughing, but now they are showing us additional power is very positive. I'll get the details, and I'll share it with you just around the corner. That's a great point. Talk to your doctor before you make any big changes. I'm Michael Pelkin in for Chris Plant on The Chris Plant Show.

It is the Chris Plant Show. Michael Pelka in for my friend Chris Plant. Oh, my goodness. There's crazy news everywhere. Yes, we're covering everything we can give you in regards to domestic and international news and politics. But there also are crazy stories out there. And one of them seems to be the ongoing questions about whether or not drinking coffee is good for you. Today the story broke that three to five cups per day may lower your risk of heart disease. I have talked with a doctor from the Cleveland Clinic off and on on my radio shows for years who has said that coffee, not just black coffee. We're not talking about going and making your cup of coffee into a sugar-laden sundae with fat creams and seven or eight sugars and all kinds of junk in it. It's just black coffee. Apparently, it has some good properties to it. If you're going to go into drinking it, though, you should talk to your doctor. But now they're saying three to five cups per day may lower your heart disease risk. And heart disease is like the biggest thing in this country. If anything can be tied to a lot of our health problems, it's heart disease. So maybe coffee's a thing for you. Do your homework. Read up on it. But understand that a cup is eight ounces. It's not the 32-ounce Stanley you're lugging around, which may make your arms bigger. But it also may give you too much coffee. Three to five cups a day may lower heart risk. Kind of an interesting thought for all of you. I'm a tea drinker, so it doesn't affect me. I have to go in and do a deep dive on the research to see if it, in fact, will give us some comfort. Is it caffeine or is it in the coffee itself? Do I have time to take a call here, Michael, or have I run out the clock? Okay. Oh, I got a minute. That's good. Let's go to Dan in Reston, Virginia. Hello, Dan. Welcome to the Chris Plant Show. What's on your mind?

00:38:54 - 00:39:21 | Speaker 2:

Hey, Mike, how are you? I love listening to you. You are a great host. Thank you, sir. I appreciate it. So not why I called, but a good point. I was at Dunkin' recently, and I was behind an individual who was kind of portly, and he ordered a coffee with eight Splendas. And it's like I remember thinking that can't be good. So that falls under the not just black coffee, right? Well, it's eight Splendas.

00:39:22 - 00:39:49 | Speaker 3:

Eight Splendas is not eight sugars. So while he may be consuming a small truckload of chemicals, he's not consuming refined sugar. You know, Dan, it's baby steps towards health. Baby steps. We have to endorse good behavior. And I've run out the clock. It's Michael Pelka, first hour of the Chris Plant Show in the books. We'll get to the next one just around the corner. Mike, for Chris, right here.
