00:00:00 - 00:00:28 | Speaker 3:

Latte for Kenan? That's me. Hey, you're... Yeah. Buying a car online on Autotrader? Really? But unlike other sites, you can start online, test drive with a local dealer, then finish online or at the dealership. Really? Wait, are you... Yep, it's Kenan. ...able to finish in person without starting the process over? Really. Your info stays with you every step of the way. Cool. Enjoy. It's Kenan Thompson. Buy your car online on Autotrader. Really.

00:00:30 - 00:00:50 | Speaker 2:

I don't think the president has a heart. He simply desires to do whatever he can to push people of color out of the country if he can. And he's doing it with patience, he's doing it with the Latinos, and he's doing it with the blessings of my Republican colleagues in Congress.

00:00:51 - 00:03:49 | Speaker 1:

Well, that's Al Green. Not the good one either. Not the Reverend Al Green. That's the cane man, Al Green, the guy who's not going to have a job come January. I guess he's just trying to get some attention. And welcome to the Chris Plant Show. Michael Pelka, my name in for my friend Chris Plant, trying to get to everything today. There's a lot of news whack-a-mole going on. And then you got Al Green just throwing out just random accusation. He's trying to get all the people of color out of the country. How do you even figure that? Just doesn't make any sense, does it? But he's lost his job, so he's flailing. And he ended up on C-SPAN, which tells you pretty much everything you need to know. He wasn't even worthy of MSNBC's time, wasn't worthy of CNN's time. And so he's probably hanging outside the studios of C-SPAN. It's just between Union Station and Capitol Hill. You can walk from Union Station to Capitol Hill, and there's that one building that's about a block away from both where all of the shows have their little studios. So he's probably outside there. Will rant for food if he can. A few things we want to talk about this hour. I want to give you more highlights from the Democrats who are trying to stop the virus they released from their political lab, the Democrats' socialist virus, which they thought they were going to use it to make their squad look normal. And now the virus is replicating and getting more power. And it seems to be threatening the Democrats. And I think they don't know what to do with it. If they don't get that that Democrat socialist virus under control, they could be in trouble in the midterms. And there are new new numbers out regarding the midterms. We gave you the Washington Post CNBC poll numbers yesterday that showed there's there is hope for the GOP. And now there are some numbers recently released that show you what the gerrymandering redistricting may be doing. So we will see what happens there. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, is at this very moment meeting the president of Lebanon and hopefully getting some more help with our situation with the Iranians. The president of Lebanon helped to get some sort of negotiation happening between Hezbollah and Israel. And this could be a game changer. This could be a good sign. We'll see what happens, what comes of that meeting. It's just getting underway.

00:03:49 - 00:05:57 | Speaker 1:

There's just handshaking going on right now. We'll break that down for you. And we're doing kind of a social poll. I may put it up on social media shortly. I'll let you know as to whether or not the older man who encouraged a young man to stand for the national anthem with a little motivational slap to the back of his head, Was he in the right for doing such? While I can't endorse violence, I certainly understand this guy's outrage and concern at a healthy young man sitting there. And speaking of health, there's been an interesting change in the heart of James Carville. Now, James Carville, the Ragin' Cajun, I still think if we ever need proof of alien life existing, I think James Carville may be that proof. He does appear to me to be of another kind of species and maybe delivered here from another planet. I don't know. It's just my own personal speculation. I have no Carville DNA to test to see. it as alien DNA. But every time I see him, he just looks a little less human and a little more otherworldly. And I've been monitoring Carville because the left side of the mainstream media seems to give him a lot of airtime because he says a lot of outrageous things. And you may be able to gauge the direction of the center of the Democrat Party based on what Carville's saying, what his latest outrage is. Now, before I play what he said yesterday, I want to go back in time and remind you of some of the more recent attacks he has made on President Trump. And it always relates to President Trump's health and how Carville seems to believe that President Trump is not well. In fact, last year he accused the president of having a venereal disease.

00:05:58 - 00:06:22 | Speaker 2:

You should have reason to believe that is a leader of severely diminished capacity, which may be even caused by an underlying, what do you call it, syphilitic? I don't know what the medical word for it is. In other words, he may have the cop. The clock that that's just what this is.

00:06:23 - 00:06:52 | Speaker 1:

The clock, James Carville, accusing the president of the United States of having syphilis. He said that some of the issues that he was diagnosing just from looking at video of the president, he accused him of having some sort of syphilis was really weird. And then Carville wanted us to know That this just wasn't a capricious assessment by himself He was actually being serious about this

00:06:52 - 00:07:36 | Speaker 2:

I've got to tell you That that's not a hollow observation that I'm making Pay very close attention Rule zero in and you can actually see on the hands What's going on There are a lot of serious diseases that manifest themselves in a, what do you call it, the extremities. And I think this is, I think as we are listening to the banging of the war drums, that we're moving what I think is recklessly toward, which could be a catastrophic decision, we need to make sure that this man is mentally intact.

00:07:36 - 00:08:54 | Speaker 1:

carville has questioned the president's physical health he's questioned the president's fitness for duty for pretty much every month since the second term and i didn't go back in the first term and analyze but carville now he seemed to have changed his tune And this is surprising to me And I do believe this may also be tied to The latest concerns of the Democrat Party That they are the crazy party That they're making all these wild claims Of the president's health is declining We know he's got a problem with circulation He's an 80-year-old guy And he has some swelling in his ankles And when he takes medication He'll often take it intravenously And that's probably why you see those those bruises on his hands at times. But Carville has made up all kinds of assessments and he's not a doctor. And he certainly hasn't had the chance to sit down with the president's medical team and ask him questions. He's just wildly speculating or has been. Well, everything changed yesterday. There seems to be a new James Carville, a nicer, not so raging Cajun.

00:08:54 - 00:09:25 | Speaker 2:

Let me be clear. I don't want anybody to get sick. Okay. I just don't. Not Lindsey Graham, not Mitch McConnell. Right. Not even Donald Trump. Okay. We've just been slinging around. And I mean, I like hardball politics. I like body slam and everything. But it's just fascination and glee and other people's health issues is just something I don't want to be part of. I just don't want to be part of it.

00:09:25 - 00:09:59 | Speaker 1:

But, sir, that's all you've been doing for the past couple of years. That's all you've been doing is casting aspersions, making accusations, diagnosing the guy without having any of the ability or credentials to do so. He might have the clop. He might have the clop, whatever the clop. He might have the clip clop if he's on a horse. I just think this is really funny. Maybe there is a memo that's gone out to all the senior Democrats to say, hey.

00:10:00 - 00:12:37 | Speaker 2:

We're starting to look like the crazy party. We're beginning to sound like the nuttiest people out there and we have to rein it in. So dial it back. You had the former governor Cuomo out there announcing that he's got problems with the far left and all of their desires to bring socialism and communism and get rid of the Senate and get rid of the presidency. They're starting to panic. Reeling in Carville may be one of those things that is part of the starting to panic thing. I'm just saying, you've got to keep an eye on these things. If Carville and Cuomo have been told to tamp it down, we had Pelosi last week was saying that she had concerns with the Democrat Socialists. So we will keep an eye on things. We will monitor all of the upper tier and see what they have to say about it. I do believe there's a problem. They have an issue that they, again, experimented with this group of Democrat socialists. And now they've had a little bit of success. They're a little bit power hungry and power crazy. And they've also got momentum because all they're doing is making promises. And these are promises that they know they can't keep. Mondami has been telling people, hey, he was going to make it cheaper to live there. He was going to make the rent cheaper. And he's frozen some of the rents in that city, which will drive landlords out and make the rent higher. And the rent is actually at the highest rate it's ever been. They just set a record. It's from a year and a half ago, though, so he doesn't get all the blame on that one. But Mamdani and Newsom and AOC, they've all been trashing capitalism. And they're going to have to probably dial all of this back. In case you missed it, the three biggest names in the Democrat Party as of this point, if you'd asked me two years ago, I would have mentioned Pelosi among them. I would have mentioned Chuck Schumer among them. But no, at the tippy top of the Democrat Party right now is Gavin Newsom and AOC and Zohran Mondami. And they are really the leaders of the Socialist Party of America that will be on the Democrat line of any ballot.

00:12:37 - 00:12:44 | Speaker 3:

Do you like capitalism? No, I have many critiques of capitalism. Capitalism as we know it doesn't work.

00:12:44 - 00:12:53 | Speaker 1:

Capitalism isn't to me is it's an ideology of capital. And to me, that ideology is not sustainable and cannot be redeemed.

00:12:53 - 00:14:05 | Speaker 2:

So those three names, those three voices are the leading voices of the party, and their statements on capitalism should make everybody nervous. Not just those of us who want to preserve capitalism, but the Democrats who are trying to keep their jobs, because it's going to make it really difficult if your party wants to kill capitalism for for anyone who's got a Democrat party affiliation to get elected. This just broke today, talking about what's going to happen in the midterms. We mentioned yesterday that there was some hope because the unbiased polling or just the generic Democrat or generic Republican ballot was now closer than before. It had been double digits, up near 20 percent. It's down to four points between the two sides, which is pretty much the margin of error. But earlier today on Fox, Bill Hemmer was going over how the redistricting was changing, what it is looking like for the midterms.

00:14:05 - 00:14:12 | Speaker 3:

That was leading the way on redistricting. We think anywhere between three and five seats for a gain, a net gain for the Republicans.

00:14:13 - 00:14:18 | Speaker 2:

That's Texas. He's talking about Texas, a net gain, three to five seats right there.

00:14:18 - 00:14:50 | Speaker 3:

We see one in Missouri. We see up to two in Ohio, possibly. another one over here in North Carolina. See everything in that light shade of red? This is still to be determined because the lines have not been decided yet. Reason being, at the end of April, about three months ago, you had the big Supreme Court ruling with regard to Louisiana. So once these are all settled, then we'll know, we'll have a more firm idea as to how Republicans and Democrats will break this up. So Louisiana, this Supreme Court

00:14:50 - 00:15:00 | Speaker 2:

ruling still has a handful of seats be with the redistricting to be drawn, the maps to be redrawn, and this may benefit the Republican.

00:15:00 - 00:15:20 | Speaker 1:

greatly. I think Louisiana plus one, Tennessee maybe plus one, same for Alabama, but down here and same for South Carolina. Down here, Florida, anywhere between one and four, depending on how things break, how the lines are ultimately determined, and what kind of a voting turnout you get come November. So swing on over here. We say that was leading the way on redistricting.

00:15:20 - 00:15:48 | Speaker 2:

We think the redistricting could be the key along with the Democrat socialist virus that has hit the Democrat Party. It could effectively split the vote and maybe push independence towards the middle. Your thoughts? Welcome, 888-630-9625, 888-630-9625. It's Opelka, in for Plant, on The Chris Plant Show.

It is the Chris Plant Show Michael Pelka in for Chris Plant President Trump in the White House As we speak With the President of Lebanon Taking questions from reporters There have been a few questions about whether or not Iran wants to talk to us And President Trump was quite Clear That we are not going to talk to Iran until they're serious about what the discussions will be. We're not just going to meet with them to allow them to maybe get a ceasefire and continue to drag this thing out. So it looks like he's going to press a little bit harder to get a commitment from Iran. Before we go to break and wrap up this half hour, let's go to the phones. The phones have been pretty hot today. 888-630-9625. Marco in Springfield, Virginia. Hello, Marco. So welcome to the Chris Plant Show. What's on your mind?

00:17:24 - 00:17:50 | Speaker 3:

Hello, Michael. I want to address this summer recess that these candidates are going on. If you're a Republican, you should be spending this whole month crashing and defending those Democrats that are destroying this country. You've got Hassan Piker out there in his Chairman Mao outfit and the rest of those clowns like AOC and Bernie Sanders, and you guys are going to take a month off, Republicans? You better get your act together or we're going to lose our country.

00:17:50 - 00:19:06 | Speaker 2:

Thank you. Thank you for saying act. I thought you were going to another a word. But yeah, the the summer break that's coming up in the House and the Senate will not be together until September 15th. I was hoping we could actually get something done. But in the meantime, they're supposed to go and hold meetings in their district and in their states. You know, the House reps will meet within their districts and maybe have town halls. And the senators might hold meetings within the state and try and get some connection to their constituents. And hopefully they'll bring up the problem is the left. These Democrat socialists are very well organized. And it is it's kind of a scary thing. They're very they could turn out in great numbers and cause a lot of havoc in the midterms because their organization is so good. So turnout is going to be key. It's a great point. Let's hope the the politicians on both sides actually get voters involved. I just know the Democrats, Socialists already are. All right. I have to take a break. 888-630-9625 888-630-9625 It is The Chris Plant Show

00:19:06 - 00:19:41 | Speaker 5:

Scrolling with Haley I am Haley Karania I scroll with the homies here in the live chat because there's 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 of the videos and all of the content that you won't find anywhere else. Scrolling with Haley. Just search that up and I will be there. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

00:19:47 - 00:21:16 | Speaker 2:

It is the Chris Plant Show. Welcome to it, Michael Pelke. And for Chris Plant this week, he's on vacation. Thanks for being here. I appreciate all of the support from each and every one of you and I can tell you without Michael Pierce Without the lovely Jasmine on the phones, I would be adrift in the sea. So I'm very happy that everybody's here helping out while Chris is on holiday. Thank you for being here. I'm monitoring a lot of things. The president's still taking questions from reporters in the White House. A lot of it has to do with how long are we going to be engaged with Iran. The answer isn't changing. So they keep asking. That's what always amazes me. The same questions get asked over and over. and over again. Kind of interesting. Yesterday we talked about Harry Sisson and Don Lemon who talked about wanting to fight Republicans because they can't hold up policies and say these are good so we want to physically fight you because we're violent people even though they don't look like they could fight their way out of a wet paper bag. But that kind of talking and that kind of statement has inspired people like this 72-year-old liberal white woman who has posted a challenge to the president of the United States.

00:21:16 - 00:21:25 | Speaker 1:

Hey, Trump, I'm still waiting. This 74-year-old woman is still waiting for you to accept my challenge to a cage fight.

00:21:25 - 00:21:35 | Speaker 2:

Wait, she's not 72. She's 74. So 74, she looks like she's in pretty good shape, and she wants a cage fight with Donald Trump? Okay, I know.

00:21:35 - 00:21:38 | Speaker 1:

You're old and fat, but this is what I'm going to do.

00:21:39 - 00:21:45 | Speaker 2:

I don't know if she curses in this, Michael, so just be careful on this for me.

00:21:45 - 00:21:51 | Speaker 1:

I'm going to put my right hand behind my back, and I'm going to do your dumb...

00:21:51 - 00:23:36 | Speaker 2:

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm sorry. I didn't know that one was coming up there. I'm sure we got it. Thank you. So here's a 74-year-old liberal white woman who wants to have a cage fight with the President of the United States. Now, should she get a visit from the Secret Service? I don't think so. I think what should happen is family members should reach out to this woman. Family members should call and say, Mom, Nana, you really can't be doing this. You can't hang the family out to dry like this. I'm sorry. No more threats to the president, please. We talked earlier about the Save America Act. It looks like it's not going to have a shot, even though Mike Lee, several others have made very impassioned pleas. Ted Cruz. A lot of people want Save America Act to go through. It's not going to happen. But there are some interesting suggestions as to what should be done with the people who don't want to support the Save America Act. I know Scott Pressler, the young guy who has been a voter registration machine, he worked to make sure Pennsylvania was delivered for President Trump in 2024, is now talking about making a primary move, not for himself, but for another candidate against John Thune. We'll see if that happens. But the subject is on the table, and you, the people, are talking about it as well. Let's grab Jeff in Germantown, Maryland. Jeff, welcome to the Crest Plant Show. You have some thoughts on this very important subject?

00:23:38 - 00:24:09 | Speaker 3:

Thank you for taking the helm today. Yeah, I just wonder what's going to happen when 53 senators don't vote for the Save America Act. And I kind of parallel that with the Socialists taking over these Democratic seats. It looks like a rush to me. I could be wrong. But what happens when 150-plus million Republicans decide that our Senate and our House of Representatives aren't serving the people? What happens then?

00:24:10 - 00:24:19 | Speaker 2:

Well, that's interesting because, first of all, you said 150 million Republicans. If we could only get—

00:24:19 - 00:24:22 | Speaker 3:

I believe we have that, maybe a little bit more, but I could be wrong.

00:24:22 - 00:24:59 | Speaker 2:

Well, overall, the nation, 330 million Americans. Not all of those people are of their majority. So not all those people can vote. We had 77 million people support President Trump in the 2024 election. Many of those folks consider themselves to be not not Republicans, but consider themselves to be independent. And based on the latest numbers, that is correct. It's diminished. The independent support has diminished a little bit. So I think.

00:25:00 - 00:25:07 | Speaker 1:

they would be generous to say 150 million americans but 70 million of us could be very upset

00:25:07 - 00:25:48 | Speaker 2:

to say the least well listen to president president's speeches uh assertion on the amount of fake votes coming into our system and the the kids and the and the lower class and middle class even that can't get a chance under the democratic banner you have to up those numbers quite considerably because they've been lied to they've been tricked they've been cheated and now they're an adult age where they can vote so when they talk about numbers and polls i'm not exactly sure i believe about that believe those numbers but 150 republicans that would be great do you think we would have a chance to get this bill into circulation and have it passed with 150 million

00:25:48 - 00:26:09 | Speaker 1:

well yeah if you've got 150 million americans who stand up and say yes we don't want to save America Act, but I think you have to maybe cut it up into pieces and go solely on the voter ID thing first, because some of the other stuff is what's causing problems. It's a tedious process,

00:26:09 - 00:26:24 | Speaker 2:

and I just see the other side. They're wearing down, and they're being primaried by socialist communists, and it looks like there's a change amiss. I could be rolling off on them, but I I appreciate you today. Thank you so much.

00:26:24 - 00:27:46 | Speaker 1:

Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, you're right. There is a change happening inside the Democrat Party. They appear to be cannibalizing their own party. They appear to be attacking themselves by what they're doing, going after their own party members. And that should be concerning to all the establishment Democrats because it's going to cause them trouble. You start counting the people. The retirements used to be the worry when we had retirements happening during the midterm elections. And there certainly are, I think, somewhere around 60 retirements across both parties. But when you've got now these rogue operations coming in, the Democrat socialists coming in, some have likened this to the Tea Party from years ago, from about 15 years ago. I don't see it being the same. I think this is actually better funded and better organized. The Democrat Socialists seem to have a lot better organization. They went from some 70,000 members a couple of years ago to more than 150,000. And I'll bet you that gets close to 200,000 or 300,000 before the midterm elections. We will wait and see. Let's grab Andrew in D.C. Andrew, thank you for holding and welcome to the Chris Plant Show. You have a thought on politicians and the truth?

00:27:46 - 00:28:25 | Speaker 3:

yeah i i just sigh and i wonder how do people get away with so much lies we uh specifically the socialists and the communists the history of communism socialism is death despair and misery and so uh i think the reason it was totally irrational that people would vote socialist and communist. And I think that the reason is in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. It's the curse of the hope diamond.

00:28:27 - 00:29:35 | Speaker 1:

Wait a minute here. You're going to have to help me out. Yesterday, by the way, there was a really interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal about the Smithsonian Institute and the operation of the Smithsonian and the wokeness that currently has infested the Smithsonian, and it talks about how the board that kind of directs the Smithsonian, they don't put the exhibits together, but they direct the Smithsonian. J.D. Vance is part of that. There are three members of the House and three members of the Senate. And then there are, I believe it's eight civilians, eight people like you and I who are part of that board. And they're talking about there's been a woke agenda that infected the the Smithsonian for the last maybe 20 years that that the Trump administration has issued a suggestion that things be changed. And I'm wondering if that's going to change. But I didn't know about the Hope Diamond curse. What is the Hope Diamond curse that is outlined in the Smithsonian?

00:29:35 - 00:30:00 | Speaker 3:

Well, you're talking, first of all, you're talking about the American History Museum and the concerns about how history is being taught by the Smithsonian and the Trump people have legitimate concerns. But the curse of the Hope Diamond goes back to the folklore that it was stolen from an Indian god and people who touched it.

00:30:00 - 00:30:06 | Speaker 6:

or owned it, were cursed by some sort of tragedy, mishap, distortion.

00:30:07 - 00:30:11 | Unknown:

And finally, it ended up in the end of 1958.

00:30:12 - 00:30:24 | Speaker 5:

And now the curse of the Hope Diamond has affected your phone to where your signal is breaking up. Could it be that the Hope Diamond people don't want you to get this message out? I kid you not. Are you back with me?

00:30:25 - 00:30:27 | Speaker 6:

I'm with you. Can you hear me?

00:30:27 - 00:30:32 | Speaker 5:

Yeah, you're good now, Andrew. But it was kind of weird because the minute you started talking about the curse, your phone signal got really wonky.

00:30:33 - 00:30:39 | Speaker 6:

Oh, boy. Anywhere you look there, the curse people are there, I tell you.

00:30:39 - 00:30:47 | Speaker 5:

You're better now. But so you think that politicians in D.C. can't tell the truth because of the curse of the Hope Diamond?

00:30:48 - 00:30:57 | Speaker 6:

I can't think of any other reason because there's no rationality for what many of them are doing, running as socialists and communists. It's absolutely the same.

00:30:58 - 00:31:36 | Speaker 5:

So, again, you start talking about the Hope Diamond, we lose your signal. I'll dive into this, but thank you. Thank you for bringing that up. That was a little bizarre. The minute he started bringing up the Hope Diamond and the curse of the Hope Diamond, his phone signal got wonky. Another story, which we didn't get to today. Yesterday, the mayor of New York has made it clear he would like to arrest the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, when the U.N. is in session. He was very open about it.

00:31:36 - 00:32:08 | Speaker 4:

He comes in September. I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague. He's a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court. And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years. I've also said that I will follow the laws that we have here in New York City because I believe that there is an importance in following the law as a leader who presides over our city. And that's something that I plan to do.

00:32:08 - 00:32:43 | Speaker 5:

So he really can't arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. He can talk about it. And the most uncomfortable thing about Mondani, to me, when he makes these claims and these statements, is that he smiles so broadly while he's saying he would like to arrest the leader of one of our greatest allies. And even CNN realized that this is Bravo Sierra. Even the experts over at CNN, Ellie Honig, their legal expert, was asked about this yesterday.

00:32:43 - 00:32:47 | Speaker 2:

So, Ellie, give us a reality check here. Can Momdani have Netanyahu arrested?

00:32:49 - 00:33:57 | Speaker 3:

Absolutely not. It is utterly ridiculous for the mayor of New York City to even suggest that he might have the authority to order the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu or any visiting foreign head of state. First of all, the mayor of New York City has zero law enforcement authority. He does not tell the Manhattan DA, the NYPD who to arrest, who to indict. Second of all, this warrant that we're talking about here was issued by the ICC, the International Criminal Court, which we are not signatories to here in the United States. So that warrant issued by the ICC has zero legal effect here in the United States. In fact, we have a federal law here in the U.S. passed 24 years ago that says, if necessary, the president can send military troops to pull our people and our allies out of the ICC. So that warrant has zero impact. And third and finally, Brianna, the Constitution is quite clear that the conduct of foreign diplomacy, foreign affairs is entirely up to the federal government. It's certainly not up to local and county governments in New York City or elsewhere. So I know the mayor is having his best lawyers look at this right now. Let me save them some time. You do not have the authority to

00:33:57 - 00:34:34 | Speaker 5:

do this. No authority to do it, but that won't stop him from continuing to say it. And I'm sure there will be protests when Netanyahu arrives for the the United Nations annual gathering that blocks traffic and makes a mess of things in New York. Just to remind everybody, Benjamin Netanyahu stood before the U.N. before and said what other people would not say about the Palestinians and what would happen if we gave the Palestinian Authority a state.

00:34:34 - 00:34:59 | Speaker 1:

But since the PA took control, that number has dwindled to under 20%. These are the people you want to give a state to? What you're doing is giving the ultimate reward to intolerant fanatics who perpetrated and supported the October 7th massacre. Giving the Palestinians a state one mile from Jerusalem after October 7th.

00:35:00 - 00:35:06 | Speaker 3:

It's like giving al-Qaeda a state one mile from New York City after September 11th.

00:35:06 - 00:35:46 | Speaker 2:

I support Benjamin Netanyahu on this logic. He's absolutely right. And if the mayor of New York wants to try and arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, I say, good luck, pal. I don't think the NYPD will support his fever dream. Just saying. I have to take a break. We will come back and wrap up what we have done today on the program, see if there are any dangling participles we need to tie down. If you want to join us, you can. 888-630-9625, 888-630-9625.

It is the Chris Blant Show. Michael Pelka in for my friend Chris Blant, who's on a cruise ship somewhere, hopefully having a wonderful time. I'm sure he is. He and his bride. Thanks for being here, wrapping up today's show. A very busy day. The President of the United States, as I said earlier, welcoming the Lebanese President to the White House. They did hold a very active Q&A with the press. But it's the opening of the meeting with the Lebanese president that says everything you need to know.

00:36:58 - 00:37:14 | Speaker 4:

Mr. President, it's an honor having you. Thank you very much. Thank you. I've been looking forward to this visit for a long time. Thank you. Meeting such a great president like yourself. That's a very nice thing. See, he knows how to get to me. He can have anything. Now he can have anything.

00:37:15 - 00:39:26 | Speaker 2:

Now you can have anything. We'll see. I'll bet that's not the art of the deal right there. President Trump meeting with the Lebanese leader, also in attendance, of course, Marco Rubio, the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, who will be in front of the Senate and making making his appearance and answering questions. We will break that down for you. I have to say something. I have to make an admission today. And maybe maybe this will diminish me in your eyes. I actually agreed with something that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed into law yesterday in Minnesota. This may be the first thing, the only thing I've ever agreed with Tim Walz on. He signed the grandparents happy hour bill into law yesterday, which will allow nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Minnesota to serve alcohol. I think this is great news. Finally, finally, something I can agree with Tim Walz on so people can say you just don't like him because of who he is. No, I agree with something. And then there was the madness out of New York City where Mondami, who wants to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, Mondami's administration has quietly made a pilot program permanent that pays junkies to turn in used needles for 20 cents each. If you turn in a syringe, you get 20 cents. And they're funding it to the tune of $3 million. Don't they give out free needles to anybody that wants it to? What are we incentivizing in New York City? And we're spending $3 million to do so. That's craziness. All right. Thank you for being here today. Thank you, Michael. Thank you, Jasmine. Thank all of you. Till next time, it's Michael Pelka reminding you, enjoy every sandwich. And Testudo, my friends. Testudo.
