8-6-26 Hour 2 - Will Abdul Moderate or stay Crazy

Pop quiz. What's in your kids' lunchbox? At Whole Foods Market, they've already done the studying. Over 300 food ingredients are banned from their shelves, no hydrated fats in the peanut butter, and no high-fructose corn syrup in the cookies. And for sandwiches, there are no synthetic nitrates or nitrites in any of their deli meat. So you can pack lunchboxes with peace of mind. Get back to school ready at Whole Foods Market. Let's be clear, this is the socialist party of America, and they are standing for ideas 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 boy, oh, boy, do I miss that guy. That's former Virginia governor, Glenn Youngkin. Voice of Reason. It is the Chris Plant Show without Chris Plant today. It's Michael Pelka back for my friend, Chris. Chris has got called into jury duty, so I am here holding down the fort and hoping to get to everything today. My goodness, there's a bunch of stuff coming at us from all angles. Everywhere you look, it's Democrat Socialists popping up. The Senate panel actually voted to hold Anthony Fauci and contempt of Congress, and it does not need a full Senate 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. Anthony Fauci 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 in Las Vegas. We'll get to some of that. Very interesting, very Trump, 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 and 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 life. 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 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. But yeah, that was the reality yesterday. The president on this sort of campaign swing ahead 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, Abdul El-Sayed. He is asking for five debates against Rogers. And Rogers is good. And I think his 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 Zohran Mamdani smiles. Abdul El-Sayed 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. With the positions that you've had on Medicare for All or abolishing ICE or, you know, a billionaire's tax, what do you think that looks like in terms of going for? You know, we've heard some people, Van Jay Jones, saying there are some positions that you have that you'll have 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, put 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 affording your groceries. But continue. He'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. Obamacare was going to make medicine cheap and available to everybody. But carry on. I'm interested in answering those questions. I'm not a socialist, but I am a scientist. 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 Rab, 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 Sean 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. AAA 6309-625. The Democrat Socialists aren't afraid to go on Fox. The Democratic Socialists, the Mondamis, the Chris Robbs. The Al-Sayeds, they will appear on Fox News. Even the members of the Democrat, 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 Rab was on with Sean Hannity last night, and Sean 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, it's 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 that has evolved over time. Really? Really, the founders had no idea about policing. We had no idea about law and order. Interesting. Continue. Ultimately, what we want is to have communities that are safe. And 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, sir, with your ridiculous theory. All of that can be done in different ways. So you support professionals who are trained to do so. 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 that protect the innocent. Were the people who did that before the term 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 Plancho. Hi, Michael. You do a great job every time you suffer for Chris. Thank you. I appreciate that. You're welcome. The perfect scenario, I share your concerns about the future of this country, but I think the perfect scenario for the upcoming elections would be for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run against Chuck Schumer. Knock him out of his seat, then run for president in 2028, zoos in a landslide to somebody with a brain and a future for the country. And that Hasan Piker dude, I have never seen a bigger foul-mouthed fool 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 up 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 should have been out of office a long time ago. Well, I don't disagree with you that Bernie should have retired a long time ago, but here's the problem that we have. The voters of Vermont keep electing the guy. And unless and until somebody steps up and offers a better solution and someone else has voted in. You've 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's starting to wake up to him. And even if it is only John Fetterman, I want to play a John Fetterman clip for you about... about Bernie Sanders. And he's, John Fetterman, is quite clear on this. I wonder if the stroke he had has 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, you know, why can't? 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. John Fetterman understands that what Bernie Sanders...

is putting radicals into the seats that are currently in blue districts or putting them through primaries. And if these people are as radical as the El-Saiads, 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 to Rob in Toledo, Ohio, staying on the Bernie Sanders topic here. Hello, Rob. How are you doing, Mike? You do a great job, buddy. Thank you. Thank you. You're on, though, Rob, you got the floor. All right, all I wanted to say was, why doesn't Bernie butt 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 gave Bernie incredible power. And now he's been there forever and ever and ever. I don't think he's had a legit, not that... A senator or a member of Congress is not a legitimate 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 paving driveways or tar and roofs. But I don't think Bernie's had a real job in his lifetime. Let me grab one more here at least. The phones are really hopping today. By the way, Maria Leaf is on the phones. So be very nice. when you get Maria Leaf on the phones at AAA 6309625. Let us go to David in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. Hello, David. Welcome to the Chris Plancho. Good morning. Hello, sir. Yes. My issue is with the term Democrat Socialists of America. They are not the Democrat Socialists 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 stop saying, stop saying Democrat 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 to 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 Democrats Socialists, 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 Socialists just around the corner. It's Opelka, in for Plant on the Chris Plant Show. Thanks, yours too. What does RAV stand for anyway? To me, it's the remarkably advanced vehicle. Really? To me, it's the runway approved vehicle for its amazing style. What about remarkably adaptable vehicle because of its versatile cargo space? Or really admired vehicle? Oh, or really awesome vehicle. It really is the recreational activity vehicle. The stylish 2026 Toyota RAP4 Limited. What's your Rav for?

It is the Chris Plant Show. Michael Pelka is my name in for my buddy, Chris Plant. If you've been here before, you may have heard me before, but I'm glad to be back. Chris got called to jury duty. I suspect he will be here manana. I'm just saying it'd be a great Friday with Chris here, wouldn't it? We're talking about the Democrat Socialists, and it really is. crazy to me how quickly this has happened. I think it was Hemingway said. It happened slowly than all at once. Stuff like this happens very slowly than 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 Socialists? And if you look at Bernie certainly is, if we were going to create a Mount Rushmore of Democrat Socialists, which I'm sure they would love to have, God forbid, 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 burqa, you wouldn't be able to know who it was. And maybe Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Iana Presley, I'm wondering would, would Mayor Zohran Mamdani make it? They'd 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 immoral and wrong that the top one-tenth of one percent in this country own almost 90 percent, own almost as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. So Bernie, instantly calling for a redistribution of wealth right there. You know that. 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. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, what is Democrat socialism? The emphasis in democratic socialism is on democracy. And it's not about... You know, 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 as society, we're the ones creating wealth. Are you really? Wait till you hear what? The New York mayor thinks a Democrat socialist is. It's Michael Pelka in for Chris Plant on The Chris Plant Show.

Pop quiz. What's in your kids' lunchbox? At Whole Foods Market, they've already done the studying. Over 300 food ingredients are banned from their shelves, no hydrated fats in the peanut butter, and no high-fructose corn syrup in the cookies. And for sandwiches, there are no synthetic nitrates or nitrites in any of their deli meat. So you can pack lunchboxes with peace of mind. Get back to school ready at Whole Foods Market. It is the Chris Plancho, Michael Pelkin for Chris. We were in the middle of talking about the Democrat Socialists, 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 as just about anything. It'd be part of the DSA. Bernie talked about how, you know, it's about the immoral status of who has so much that we have to make sure that more than the 1% have access to wealth. We have to, and I'm sure he's talking about redistribution of wealth. And then Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 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 of 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, Ugandan, who came to America not to assimilate but to take over. What does he think the democratic socialism is? 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. So dignity now. Dignity is now a commodity that the government will be in charge of distributing. I want to just try and wrap your head around this. Yeah, I'm here from my weekly allocation of dignity. Last week I wasn't able to get here. So could I get an extra helping of dignity this week? Is there going to be a Dignity Tsar? Bernie's 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, Cia 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 you won't be able to own anything wasn't that the goal Zohran Mamdani, 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 Zohran Mamdani. This is not by some Brooklyn-based Nerdu well skateboard-writing documentary filmmaker. This is from the mayor's office. It's slickly produced, opens up with close-up image of Cia Weaver wearing her Soviet red zippered sweater. It's a great piece out of the Washington Free Beacon from the Morning Beacon, the substack, from Ileana Johnson. This is darn well worth your reading. But it's stunning because it's also untrue. If you or I made this movie about someone and put it out there, 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 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. I want to make sure we get this. Let's first go to Steve in Boston because you always get a great call from Boston. Hello, Steve. Welcome to the Chris Plancho. What is up? Thank you, Michael. 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. Oh, my 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.

doesn't get changed. Why is this important? Here, the government gives illegals driver's 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 has 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 voir dire 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, they're thisist, they're thatist, and therefore we shouldn't hold anybody in prison pending trial, I think Mr. Clant might say, well, Your Honor, if the police arrest somebody, surely he must be guilty, 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 voir dire. 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 like yours, too. He may get to voir dire. 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 to take my call. You got it, sir. You know, I called Ted, I saw him on Fox News yesterday and telling us talking about his little hearing. And I said, you know, I didn't hear anything. I called him and said, I didn't hear anything about the Save America Act. You know what I mean? That would solve that problem, the people tearing us apart from the inside, you know. But also. Also, you know, can we keep socialists off the ballot? Like they tried to keep Trump off the ballot. Since we have the juice right now, it seems like we could get something through the Congress and just keep these people in total off our ballots. Well, I'm one of those people, Bill, who believes 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 Trump off the ballot. I say let's put sunshine on them. Let's let them talk. The more these Democrat socialists talk, the more we see how ridiculous they.

are talking about eliminating 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 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, it's a pleasure to talk to you. There's two major concerns that are troubling me. For one thing, I believe this whole issue with Anthony Fauci, as important as it is, is somewhat of a distraction from the important issues like, for instance, getting the Save America Act passed, and also, I think it's a distraction. Well, first of all, let me back up. I can understand why the... Ken, you're not getting pulled over, are you? No, that's an ambulance. Sorry about that. All right. That's all right. I was worried you're going to get a ticket for being on the phone. We've had that happen. Oh, no. No, we don't want any of that. But getting 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 blocking it. That's an issue that's a lot of concern to me. And the fact that to switch topics, the situation over and ran, I believe that the war was in charge over there and we're having a hard time seeing them to figure out who's in charge. But whoever's calling the shots is basically like they're making negotiations without our involvement. In other words, on the disposition of the straighter hormones and things like that. So those are my two concerns. And I think the... 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 Iran, we are expecting. And this is from 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. using that language intentionally, that they will not have a nuclear weapon, they will not have a nuclear machinery to get that done, and they will not control the Strait of Hormuz or block any traffic through it. So we'll see what happens with that. The second issue about the Save America Act, as the previous caller said,

Surprised that we're not hearing 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 Robert F. Kennedy Jr., one of my favorites, was on Fox Business with Larry Cudlow. Yesterday afternoon, I happened to catch it. There were several posts on social media saying that Senator Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 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 Cutlow called the senator out on it. His response was typically wonderful John Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. I'm prepared to stay here. as long as it would take. I've been to a squillion 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. We're not going to reach 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 Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and for those who are saying he needs to be on the list of those who should be primary. I think atop that list, the list that's being pushed around on social media is John Thune, who does appear to be a block on this. And 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 the Chris Plant Show. Hey, Mike. I'm just recovering from the... The back alley colonoscopy comments. He is 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 a rock that belongs to indigenous people, that would probably quash 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 L-G-B-T-Q-I-A... plus Bernie, plus that. That's a hell of a long time. I think they would give up.

You're probably right. They may make something out of paper matche out of like recycled paper or something. Well done, Craig. Very accurate. The environmental problems and 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. It is the Chris Plant Show. Michael Pelka, my name is sitting in for my friend Chris Plant. Just reading a local story here, as you know, the D.C. Maryland area, the home of 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 a car. and then ran into another car and killed a 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 working stiff. who won't be coming 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 525 this morning, and you think, what's the appropriate punishment for the kids who stole the car? And there are some who say, well, they're injured. They're already suffering enough. And there are 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 go to 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 Socialists 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 in 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 Sharaki has a piece on Broaden 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 Mike Opelka in for Chris Plant on the Chris Plant Show. Mike Drop, hosted by former Navy CEO, Mike Ridland. What is your take? Was it what you expected? Oh, it was 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 1% chance that you're making a 3%. That's all I need Master Chief. My platoon went home early, and I just went up to my chief, and I was like, I'm not going home. Turns out I'm staying. That's when we go to war. Yeah, I was like, okay, I could get used to this. Mike Drop, follow and listen on your favorite platform.
