Today, Trump denied reports that the U.S. is running low on missiles and said that leakers of that story are being hunted down. Well, we know one thing they're not being hunted by missiles. Right now, Trump is dealing with leaks and shortages, which is actually pretty normal for an 80-year-old man. Ah, yes, the Democrat Party. Iran loves them. You know, the Iranian, what do they call the Politburo, they're the Islamic Command. They love late-night TV in the United States. They don't love the United States so much. They're not on our side or anything like that, but they have friends. They have friends in America and the Democrat Party. everywhere in the Democrat Party they have friends. Well, very good and happy Friday, too, and yes, I'm back. It's true. I was out yesterday. I will explain. There was a torpedo attack. There was a torpedo attack on me, and I'll explain that. It wasn't all that bad, though. It was something I will, I'll explain, but without too much detail, I'll explain. where I was yesterday, what's going on. And we've got a lot of Democrat hijinks to share with you today. They have a Democrat who's a socialist. And, well, which one? In New York, in Michigan, in Wisconsin? Yes, yes, they're all over the place. They really are. But we've got this. You know, she wants to be the gubernator there in Wisconsin. Her name is Hong, Hong. H-O-N-G, like the first part of Hong Kong. And apparently, but she's not Chinese. She turns out she's a Korean spawn of Koreans. in the United States, born in the United States, and this point of Koreans, and apparently North Koreans, based on what we're hearing from her, because she definitely leans North Korean, there's no doubt about that. And she's the one who hates everything, Thanksgiving and Christmas and Valentine's Day, and Fourth of July, she despises everything. And then she was asked about it by some friendlies at Politico. said, well, one friendly, who is smiling his way through the... Oh, so you hate Thanksgiving. No, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. And he just smiles and nods and moves on because it's good to be a Democrat. It is like living in North Korea when you're a Democrat, and you're in politics. It's extraordinary stuff. But now it turns out that Francesca Hong, as she's known, sounds like Italian and Korean. And Hong is Korean now, with this woman, at least. And I find that to be kind of remarkable.

But she, it turns out, she hates tipping. She hates tipping. You know, in restaurants, when you tip people at the end of your meal and things like that, she's against tipping. You'll never guess why. It's, you probably could guess why. Why do you think tipping is, as she's against it? It's kind of an amazing thing. It reminds me, I used to hang out at a bar. I know this might come as shocking news. They used to hang out at a bar in Adams Morgan. I lived in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C. for seven years, and my regular hangout was a long-established neighborhood bar and pizza plays called Million Al's. Million Al's. And at millionaires, they had a lot of fun people working there, and Johnny and Netta and Ronka, and they're Icelandic and lots of fun people. And there was a sign on the wall, and the sign on the wall said, tipping, tipping, T-I-P-P-I-N-G, tipping, the sign said, is not a city in China. That's what it said. Tipping is not a city in China, right? And so I find it interesting now that the would-be Democrat governor. of Wisconsin. Francesca Hong says that tipping is racist. It's racist. I know it's hard to believe, but tipping is not only is it not a city in China, but apparently it is racist if you ask a Democrat of Korean descent in the United States America. Also, she said that that Thanksgiving is very hurtful to our community, to our community. I'm like, the Korean community is Thanksgiving is offensive to Korean Americans? Is that? Because I was not familiar with that before now. But there she is, Francesca Hong. She thanksgiving, which she hates, but it's also her favorite holiday, and she wants to cancel it, but it's her favorite. Because when you're a Democrat, you can talk out of both sides of your mouth at the same time, and the New York Times doesn't notice. The CNN people don't notice. George Stephanopoulos at ABC doesn't notice that you're talking out of both sides of your mouth at the same time. They actually notice they just talk out of both sides of their mouths at the same time, too, because they're Democrats, not journalists. They're Democrats. And the Democrat Party pays well if you're in the right place, you know, the George Stephanopoulos of the world and all that good stuff. But Francesca Hong, pretty amazing, amazing stuff. And I couldn't help think of, but think of million. and tipping is not a city in China when she talked about tipping being racist and and you know it's designed lower wages for the blacks or something like that because you know the democrats always looking out for black Americans ever since they lost the civil war and all their slaves there now they've really been on the side of black voters that's the biggest lie ever told quite possibly pretty remarkable stuff I've got to say. So we've got, yeah, and we love Francesca Hong. She's, she's with us today. She's with us today. Hasan Piker is a genocidal Jew-hating anti-Semite, a democratic socialist of America. He's palsy with all these big-time Democrats who are socialists. And, you know, the goal of socialism is communism, according to Lenin, you know, if not that he knows anything about it, but, well, knew anything about it.

Hasan Piker, this guy is quite remarkable. He was asked, he was at a round table with a bunch of wankers from the left, and they had a transgender flag sprawled out on the desktop there, a transgender flag. While Hasan Piker, he was asked, what's your favorite flag? What's your favorite flag? The American flag, the Israeli flag, the Canadian flag, is it the rainbow flag? No, that's not it, but. You got to see this. It's quite remarkable. Hasan Piker asked what's your favorite player. There's transgender flag kind of rainbowy with a triangle and all kinds of weird stuff on it because the Democrats have got a lot of gender issues and social issues and biological issues, scientific issues, social issues, cultural issues, linguistic issues. They have a lot of issues, let's be honest, all at once, a bundled package. So kind of wacky. Abdul El-Sayed, he's another jihadi. They love the jihad. The Democrats do. They hate the Jews, but it's not that they hate everything. They love the jihad. See, so you can't just say they're haters. But they've got El Seid, and El Seid is the topic of discussion, even among Democrats these days, which means like CNN, and the people at CNN, they're posing as news anchors and journalists and things like that. Just remarkable stuff. And, hey, I got an idea. Let's raise taxes on the rich, and then we'll pay for everything, and we'll tell the vast majority of voters that we're going to give them free stuff after we steal. things from other people. We're not going to steal from you. We're going to confiscate because the state has all the guns, and they want to take away everybody else's. And we're going to confiscate lots of your property, and we're going to buy stuff for the voters who will vote us into power, and then we'll confiscate more stuff because they're the third world. They're the third world. They're visiting us from the 20th century, and they haven't embraced the 21st century, the post-Soviet Union 21st century. Those are... Just remarkable people, these people. We also had political contests yesterday. In Tennessee, there were primaries, and Marsha Blackburn, the senator, won the Republican nomination to become the governor of the state of Tennessee, and the Democrats want to break away and form the Confederate states of America again, which they did once before. They didn't go very well for anybody, but it went worse for them. I think went pretty well for the slaves because they were taken away from the Democrat Party during the Civil War. But never mind that. And, yeah, the Democratic Socialists of America. It's the DSA. I was looking at their DSA logo the other day, and I was reminded of the CSA, the Confederate States of America. And now here we are more than a century later, and the DSA is the CSA, the Confederate States of America, to the DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America, and both the Democrat Party kind of.

I got to tell you, one of my favorite stories from earlier this week, and we should have a, on Friday, Michael Piercy, we should have a segment like stuff we wanted to get to during the week, but couldn't because the Democrats kept us too busy with their craziness. But there is a wacky story out of New York. You got the Bronx involved, one of the five boroughs in New York, and then Mount Vernon, New York, very close, very close to the Bronx, Mount Vernon, New York, where the deputy commissioner of police has been arrested. And this is the story a couple of days ago, the deputy commissioner of police, who's a woman. In fact, she's a WOC. She's a woman of color. I'm thinking DEI might have had something to do with her being made deputy police commissioner in Mount Vernon, New York. Jennifer Lackard, Jennifer Lackard Deputy Police Commissioner in Mount Vernon, New York, just outside of New York City. And Jennifer Lackland, as the Deputy Commissioner of the Police in Mount Vernon, New York, was arrested because she went out for a drive with her son, Chase Lackard, and she was his getaway driver while he... As a gang member, her son, she's the deputy police commissioner, talk about affirmative action on DEI. Jennifer Lackard took her son, Chase. His name is sounds very suburban, doesn't it? Here's Chase Lackard. Chase Lackard is a gang member who was in court for a gun crime, and his mom and dad went to pick him up, and he got out of court for a gun crime. And as he's walking out of court, he pulled out a gun and opened fire. on some other gang members from a rival gang from a different gang. And Mom, the deputy police commissioner, who's a Democrat. in Mount Vernon, Deputy Police Commissioner and Democrat in Mount Vernon, New York. Mom is the getaway driver for her 20-year-old son, Chase Lackard, because he is a gang member with a lot of gun crimes in his past. And mom was there because she's just being a good mother. And I wanted to talk about this story because it's such a classic Democrat story. You promote the woman. who's a woman of color, to Deputy Commissioner of Police in Mount Vernon, New York. Her son is a gang member. She is his getaway driver for a gangland shooting. And that's all fine. Oh, and by the way, this is what I learned this morning, why we have to update it, because dad has been arrested now, too. James Lackard, he's been arrested, too. Turns out he was in the car. The father, the mother, the son, all locked up, the gang, shooting, and stuff. But naturally, they let mom out because, you know, why would you keep mom in jail? She's deputy police commissioner. She's driving the getaway car for her son, the gangland gunman, and all of that.

is okay uh pretty pretty crazy stuff i got oh yes and Zohran Mamdani you know we got Zohran Mamdani in new york too new york just keeps on giving and uh turns out he's the most angry thin skin creep uh when he's not smiling for the cameras and he showed up at an event on Staten Island, at a police event on Staten Island. And he was booed off the stage. The mayor of New York was booed off the stage at a police event in New York. You know, the revolution will be televised. We were just playing. We had the communist, Van Jay Jones. The revolution will be televised. And it's a revolution and an insurrection, just using the Democrats' words, as they used them yesterday. And we are at 888-630-9625. Yeah, what do you hear Francesca Hong, a big-time Democrat, wants to be a gubernator of one of our 50 states, and she's got a lot of peculiar things to say. It's okay when you're a Democrat. None of the media notice. They don't actually follow the news. All right, let's go to the telephones, Michael. Let's go to Brad, calling from Key West Florida. Oh, Brad, you're on the Chris Plant Show. Hey, Chris. Once again, very thank you. And it's great to hear you again. Thank you. I used to be a server in Chicago, in Highwood. And... I was making like $3.50 an hour. So there's where tipping comes in. It makes up for the underpaid minimum wage that you're making. But now if you go to like Seattle and they're making $20 to $25 an hour, I don't want to tip anymore. Right, yeah. And in Washington, D.C., they raised the prices of everything in it. And there are restaurants in Washington, D.C. that note a 20% fee has been added to your check. This is not a tip, they tell you. This is to offset the increased wages that the Democrats running the city council passed. So everything is 20% more expensive. And they say tipping is still appreciated. So they add a 20% fee because the increase in wages and then they tell you to tip anyway. What do you think of that? Well, and I just spent two months in Miami Beach because of my fiancé. And they automatically put a 20% on the check also. But they're making... more than minimum wage. And therefore, why are we tipping? Well, that's right. And, of course, you're, and you say you worked in Highwood. Did you work at Skornavacos?

No, at Nightingale. Okay, Nightingale. Scortovacos down the street. That is, look, it is crazy. In Washington, D.C., I know there are restaurants all over Washington where the waiters, the wait, you know, the men and the women, make six figures. You work at a good restaurant in Washington, D.C., and you do a good job, and, you know, you're a good waiter. You make six figures in Washington. This episode is brought to you by Netflix. The MLB at Field of Dreams returns. Bryce Harper in the Philadelphia Phillies faced Byron Buxton and the Minnesota Twins at the iconic Field of Dreams ballpark. The field is calling. Watch the MLB at Field of Dreams game live on Netflix, Thursday, August 13th, at 7.30 p.m. Eastern, 4.30 p.m. Pacific. I want to get to the tipping. The tipping audio of would-be Governor Hong kind of remarkable stuff. Now, I was not here yesterday. If you came here yesterday, you might have noticed that Michael Pelko was in and doing his usual great job, I think. And he mentioned that I had some jury duty. Now, this gets a little bit complicated. And I'll try to keep it brief and uncomplicated. But it's true that I was called. I received a couple of weeks ago a notice in the U.S. mail right there in the mailbox. in our building. And it looked somewhat ominous. It was from the federal government, and we're here in Washington, D.C. and everything, and you might, there is a lot of federal government stuff going on around here. But still, when you receive letters from the federal government, here, wherever you are, you could be in Wyoming. And it's just, oh, good. Nobody says, oh, good, another letter from the federal government. And it's from the, I have it in my hand right here. It's a piece of paper, a couple pieces of paper inside the envelope. From the office of the clerk, Angela D. Caesar, summons for federal grand jury service. For federal, not just the local murders and shootings and crimes and looting and carjackings, the usual Democrat everyday stuff, but this is the federal and its grand jury. Grand jury. And if you look at it closely, it's kind of a remarkable thing because it says if selected for service, grand jury services typically, listen, it could last for six to 12 months, six to 12 months. And it says once a week, but don't believe that at all because in Washington, and this is at the E. Amy Coney Barrett-Preddiman Courthouse.

down on Constitution Avenue at 333 Constitution Avenue. This is where it's the big courthouse you always see on the national news when federal government employees, officials are being tried for crimes in Washington, D.C. This is the big federal courthouse. And it's where, you know, everybody big in government has been tried for the last 50 years. And it's like, oh, boy, fun. I could be on the federal grand jury, and it could be six months to 12 months. And then it actually says it could be extended. It could be extended beyond the 12 months. And I thought, oh, woo-hoo. That could be a lot of less. And at the same time, if you're going to be on a grand jury, it'd be a federal grand jury. Washington, D.C., downtown, right in the shadow of the Capitol. I mean, the courthouse is three blocks from the Capitol. 333 is the address. And that's remarkable. So I got this summons, and I said, oh, well, that's kind of an interesting thing. And then it turns out at the same time, at the same time, on the same date I had, and I don't want to violate my own hippo here or anything, but I had a medical procedure scheduled. What kind of a medical procedure was it, Michael? It was, well, I've got to tell you, I had another thing scheduled for that day, and so I had a bit of a conflict. Medical person, my doctor said, listen, we're going to have you because there's a certain time, a certain age, and they say, you've got to go get the scope. Are you familiar with the scope? Because the scope is not telling me, I've got to tell you two things in the same day. I've got the scope scheduled. And then the same day, federal grand jury duty, you know, two things that crawl their way up inside of you. If you know what I'm talking about here, so the colonoscopy is why I don't like to use the word. It's not good dinner table conversation. But that was scheduled for you as today. And then I have this, oh, the federal government. has summoned me for grand jury, not just for regular jury duty, not a carjacker, but this is like international spies and thieves, and people are defrauding everybody and all this stuff. So I've got those federal grand jury summons, and at the same time, I've got like, gee, so this is my choice for yesterday. Well, you have two choices. You can go down to the E. Amy Coney Barrett-Prette-Mend. federal courthouse in the shadow of the capital for federal grand jury duty that could go on for a year and might be extended beyond that. Or choice, alt, choice A, you go for the hunt for red October. and because that's you know that's you know they're not hunting for red October red October but there is there's still this submarine thing going on there and and they go in and I don't know lay landmines are I guess they're sea mines they're not saying so uh

These were my, these were my, this was my yesterday. And day before yesterday, I didn't, I didn't share this all on the radio because I wasn't sure what was going to happen and which way I was going to go and stuff. And what happens is you have to call in to the federal courthouse. and you punch in your nine-digit code number. It's a participant number, and it's a nine-digit number, and it's, you know, like 105 and 7 and 0 and all these numbers, and you punch it into the telephone, and when I called in, they said, They said, and this was a great moment, they said, because I don't want to spend a year doing it. I always do my jury duty here in D.C., but a year on federal grand jury would be fun and interesting in some way. But on the other hand, I've got a job and stuff. So I dialed in and they said, our quota, I think they said quota, for jurors has been met. Therefore, you do not need to serve. Thanks for calling. We'll summon you again sometime soon. And the recording said something pretty much like that. And I said, oh, okay, so I guess I'm off the hook for that for the time being. I seem to get called for jury duty more than most people that I know. And the federal grand jury thing that could last a year, that was kind of interesting. But I legitimately, I went in and I had to go online and sign up and fill out these forms and just home from the sea crews. And I'm filling it all in like, hey, you haven't filled out all your jury stuff yet. So I filled it all out. And then I had to call in to see if I needed. to show up at the courthouse yesterday. And they told me, no, we have enough jurors, so you're off the hook. And then the doctor said, so now you're free for the hunt for Red October part two. And so that's actually what I had yesterday. And that means, like day before yesterday, no food at all, absolutely no food, all like apple juice, apple juice all day long. And then yesterday, and the thing was 3.30 in the afternoon. And so, you know, no food for basically two days, almost two days, no food. And then so went and did this scope thing where they knock you out, and, you know, they put ballistic missile submarine inside of you to go. to go hunting around and see what's going on in there. And then afterward, left there. And we went to, at my best growing up, we went to a sports bar to go to a friend's birthday, to go to Pat's birthday after the knockout juice and the, you know, because they put you out completely, which definitely you want to do. Because you don't want to stay awake and talk your way through that one. That's not going to happen.

So we got that going. So that's yesterday. So I did not, in the end, I did not have jury duty. I did. I checked all the boxes and filled out all the forums and dialed in at the appropriate time and all that stuff. And they told me, we already have enough jurors, so you're out of here. And that's good. Now, while I'm filling out my forms and stuff, they ask you, one of the things they ask you in the forms is, what do you do for a living? And so naturally I said a radio talk show host. And I tried to write in conservative radio talk show host, but there wasn't enough space for all those letters. So I just had to write radio talk show host. And I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not, but I know it's a hotbed of Democrats and liberals down there at the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C. And it's kind of a lynch mob. A little bit of a lynch of a little bit of a lynch of. So that's my yesterday. And I did, and I walked it off, shook it off, and went to a sports bar for a birthday party shortly thereafter. And I only had two beers. They'd tell you not to have a lot of stuff after you're knocked out because of anesthetic, you know, the anesthesiologist. I was having good laughs with the anesthesiologist. And she said, take two deep breaths. And I took. two deep breasts and then it was suddenly an hour and 15 minutes later kind of remarkable stuff that's because of the patriarchy and because of big pharma they do all this amazing stuff all right so that is that's probably more than enough detail of all that the jury duty and the medical procedure on the same day and kind of kind of way i couldn't help but think of submarine warfare you know having had the opportunity to spend several days on a Los Angeles class fast attack submarine myself, you know, which was a lot of fun, I've got to say. All right, but enough about me. We've got a lot of news to get to get to get to me. I want to read you the story about the deputy police commissioner in New York, who's the getaway driver for her gangster son, and she's out of jail because, you know, because the Democrat Party is truly something. They're just breathtaking. And DEI, DEI is a good idea for Democrats. All right, let's go, let's go to the, let's go back with the telephones, Michael. Let's go, let's go to Dr. Bob calling from the greater Chicago land area from Chicago, Illinois. Listening on the great WLS, Dr. Bob, you're on the Chris Plant Show. Great to be with you today, Chris. And I like you. don't love my colon, but I deeply respect it. And I'm glad you're taking care of it. Well, you're a doctor. You're a medical doctor. I appreciate that. It's true. You've got to take you got to look under the hood every now and then. So that medicine they gave you the knockout medicine, I tell people ahead of time. I said, oh, it's Michael Jackson medicine. It's what he used to go to sleep at night. And then patients will say, well, he died, didn't he? Yeah, but he was having a cardiologist put it in for him, you know, not an anesthesiologist. So don't, you know, the anesthesiologist knows what they're doing. Oh, bad.

I loved your story about how you got out of jury duty before, and I wanted to share my attempt at getting out of jury duty. I lived in far suburban northwest Cook County, and I got a summons for a criminal court jury evaluation down on California and 26, if you know where that is. It was 50 miles from me, and it's on the other side of Chicago, and it's in a very bad area. And when you would come out of the courthouse, you would pray that your car was still there, to be honest with you. So anyway, I went and they said, what do you do? And I said, I'm a doctor. I'm in solo practice. I take care of critically ill people in the hospital. And if I serve on this jury, people will die because I won't be there to care for them. Wow. Okay, okay. But you're a doctor, right? And I said, yes, I am. I said, how do you feel about domestic battery? Because it was a domestic battery case. And I said, well, I hate domestic batterers because my sister, who's... suffered for mental illness during her life. She was a schizophrenic. She's married, and her husband beats her up and puts her in the hospital two or three times a year, and we try to have him arrested. We keep telling her to lose the guy, you know, get away from him. You know, I pray for his soul. He passed away. But I said, I hate domestic abuse. And they said, oh, okay, but you're a doctor, right? And I said, yeah, I'm a doctor. And then the... Defense attorney looks at the prosecutor and they say he's okay with us, he's okay with us. So despite me saying that I thought they should all go to jail forever and throw away the key, and my sister was suffering from domestic abuse repeal. I got named to the jury, and then I ended up being jury foreman. And it was a very interesting experience. I still have the $17 checks I got each day for driving 100 miles back and forth and giving up a whole day of... of working. So, but unfortunately the gentleman, we did not convict the gentleman because the police officer who wrote the police report and saw and evaluated the victim, the alleged victim, I should say, I guess, he had retired and moved out of the state, so he's unavailable, there was photographic evidence that was just the police report to go on, otherwise it was a he said, she said case. and unfortunately we couldn't convict him. But interestingly, after the trial, I'm in the elevator, and then who steps on the elevator, but the defense attorney and the defendant, and the defendant smiling broadly, ear to chair, Cheshire, Grin. And the defense attorney said, oh, hello, we understand you were very instrumental in getting our defendant acquitted. I wanted to thank you. And I said, don't think me. I said, we think he's a terrible person. We think he did it. It's just we couldn't prove it because the police officer wasn't there. But we all wanted to convict him. We all wanted to convict him. And we think he did it. And then that Cheshire grin turned to a solemn gaze. Well, that's good. It was a very interesting experience. And this was going on while Bill Clinton was being deposed saying that he didn't have sex with that woman. So it was an interesting. My old pal, my old Monica Lewinsky, who worked in the office next to me in the Pentagon. Yeah. That's a crazy world, isn't it? I've got to tell you, Dr. Bob. And just amazing. And now you're one of my shipmates.

Yes, the last two cruises, Iceland, which we loved. And I was on crutches for Iceland, but now I'm walking without crutches now. And this wonderful Adriatic cruise, it was just marvelous. I got to go to Venice before and went to Rome after. And we're looking forward to next year going from Barcelona to the east side of Italy and Rome. So it's going to be wonderful. If anybody out there is thinking about going, it's a wonderful thing. A bunch of like-minded individuals, you get to talk about things that you oftentimes can't talk about with other people at home. It's a wonderful, a wonderful event. We do. And it really is great. And we had 165 of our closest friends aboard the ship. And, you know, the swimming pool bar, I thought, was a very popular location during the sea cruise and the Adriatic. A lot of people gathering. I don't want to encourage any misbehavior. But nobody's actually driving the ship. So, you know, it's quite all right. It was really a great one. And Bob, thank you very much for being there on the Sea Cruise. And I didn't pay you to do an ad on the radio. I just want to say that out right. But it was a great Sea Cruise. And thank you for you. And thank you for calling in today. And sharing that, I think one of the jury duty stories you might have been talking about is how it was called several years ago now for jury duty in Washington, D.C. And during the voir dire, the voir dire process. The judge explained that he's going to ask everybody what they do for a living. And when I was called up to the judges, to the bench with the defense on one side and the prosecutors on the other side, said, what do you do for a living, Mr. Graham Platner? I said, well, I host a radio show. And with great interest, the lawyers leaned forward, and the judge said, what kind of radio show? And I said, well... At the time, this is true. I said, I'm on the radio from 9 a.m. to noon, and then Rush Limbaugh takes over from noon to three. And they said, thank you. And that's, you get to hear the door slamming. It was quite a, it's Washington, D.C., you know, and they don't want to convict anybody. They want to get them back on the street and elect them to the city council. Now, we don't have Congress. We don't have anybody in the country. We got a fake congressman. Like the same thing that in Guam, you know, American Samoa, non-voting delegate. Bob, good stuff. Thank you. Hey, where do you hear this crazy Democrat Hong? Just, and tipping, dipping, not a city in China.
