Speaker 1:
[00:03] When I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it. I didn't inhale, and never tried it again.

Speaker 2:
[00:12] That's right, Bill Clinton lying to us. We wanted to bring that up for 420 day, 420 day in the United States of America. Bill Clinton lying, I didn't inhale, and I didn't like it. And then I just got back to my internship program. Where the girls are a learning and a learning. Well, very good and happy Monday to you once again, and welcome back. We are at 888-630-9625. The Democrats are not insane only in Detroit, Michigan, or more broadly in Michigan, but across the country on this 420. So we had the newsroom just doing 420 jokes through the window here. That's right. We get along with everyone, everyone, because we're the good guys. You know what I mean? Let's go to sound bite number 19. Because I got to tell you, the Michigan Senate candidate, the Democrats again, Abdul Al Sayed. Abdul Al Sayed, listen to this. Manu Raju with Michigan Senate candidate Abdul Al Sayed. And they're talking about Israel because kill the Jews, kill the Jews, must kill all the Jews. And again, today is Hitler's birthday, Hitler's birthday. So, the Democrats, they must feel conflicted. They must have another internal struggle going on, on Hitler's birthday. They're so much like him, yet they have to call everybody crazy names because of their mental illnesses. Manu Raju, Democrat state Senate candidate, not state Senate, but candidate for the US. Senate, Abdul Al Sayed, who will bring the jihad to Washington along with so many other Democrats that are here to murder our culture and our civilization. Manu Raju, Abdul Al Sayed.

Speaker 3:
[02:18] You said the Israeli government is evil.

Speaker 4:
[02:20] Do you think they're just as evil as Hamas?

Speaker 5:
[02:22] Yes, killing tens of thousands of people makes you pretty damn evil.

Speaker 3:
[02:25] It's not how evil is this one versus that one. Hamas, evil.

Speaker 5:
[02:28] Israeli government, evil.

Speaker 3:
[02:29] We can say both.

Speaker 2:
[02:31] Ah, yes. Israel, just as evil as Hamas because one is a genocidal terrorist group that kidnaps, rapes, tortures, murders in underground tunnels and holds on to the dead bodies afterward to do who knows what with and they're complete... And Manu Raju is like, oh, now I understand. The Jews are really the bad, they're the evil. They killed tens of thousands. Oh, you mean when the war started after Hamas, a radical Islamic jihadi army funded by Iran attacked Israel and killed how many and kidnapped how many and raped how many and tortured how many. And then, you're gonna get the snot bombed out of you because civilization needs to snuff you out until you're a blood stain in the sand. And that will make the world a better place because you're not good neighbors. Know what I'm talking about here? They don't. Manu Raju and his new hero, El-Sayed, on, hey, you just said that Israel is at least as bad as Hamas, and they've killed tens of thousands of people. And of course, Iran just killed tens of thousands of their own people who were actual peaceful protesters and not jihadi terrorists with AK-47s and improvised explosive devices who were holding hostages. But never mind the facts, because their brains don't work as designed by God. Manu Raju and El-Sayed.

Speaker 3:
[04:03] Isn't Netanyahu, in your view, he's a war criminal? Absolutely.

Speaker 2:
[04:07] You didn't even have to ask.

Speaker 3:
[04:09] When you conduct a genocide, you're a war criminal.

Speaker 2:
[04:11] When you conduct a genocide, you're a war criminal. Well, and you notice that Manu Raju doesn't say, well, then the leadership of Hamas, are they war criminals? And Hamas is funded by Iran and inspired by Iran. So are the Iranians war criminals? And Iran just killed how many? 35, 55,000 of their own people gunning them down in the streets. They chased the wounded to hospitals and killed them in their hospital beds by shooting them in the head. And the Democrat Party, they're okay with that. They genuinely are because they're not on our side. And civilization is not really there, it's not their bag. This is Abdul Rahman Mohammed Al Sayed. He's a Democrat candidate, just remarkable stuff. And he is, oh yes, he is war criminal, genocide. They throw these words around, this guy should be deported. I don't know what bee pole he's from, but he should be sent back to whatever bee pole he rolled out of. He was actually born in Michigan, but along with his parents, he should be deported, I think. The Democrats say no, no, First Amendment, Jihad killed the Jews. Isn't it amazing? Yes, sir. Now, let me go to this because Bill Maher, Bill Maher is a left-wing Democrat who's paid $14 million a year by the Time Warner Corporation and HBO to do one hour a week of Democrat Party propaganda. There's not a conservative in the country or in the world, that has an equal deal, not a single one, never has been because the Democrat Party's propaganda apparatus is the envy of Joseph Goebbels and of Al Charlotten. But Bill Maher was on there and he doesn't like Israel, but he's not a complete nut. And he had Barack Obama administration, Jake Sullivan, the very anemic, worm-like Jake Sullivan. And he was Joe Biden's national security advisor. I think he was deputy or something under Barack Obama. And here is Bill Maher on his TV show. And he's got Jake Sullivan, the Democrat administration official, who was never intelligent enough to even have the business card with the title on it. Bill Maher on his weekend show. He pointed out that in the Senate, the Democrats, 40 out of 47 Democrats voted against Israel being allowed to buy weapons from us for their military because the Democrats will murder all of the Jews in their death camps. Bill Maher and a couple of Democrat clowns.

Speaker 6:
[07:11] The Senate rejected a measure to block the sale of military equipment to Israel. I wouldn't know what that means unless I stopped and thought about it. What it means is this is a Democratic idea.

Speaker 2:
[07:22] I wouldn't know what that means.

Speaker 6:
[07:23] This is Bernie Sanders.

Speaker 2:
[07:24] Unless I stop and thought about it.

Speaker 6:
[07:24] This is the Democrats wanting to stop, and this is not charity to Israel. This is the sale of military equipment. This is the Democrats saying, we're not going to sell Israel any more military equipment. Seven Democrats joined the Republicans in shooting this down. So, Israel has seven Democratic allies left in the Senate.

Speaker 2:
[07:47] Yeah, Israel has lost the Democrat Party. Iran's most important ally on earth today is the American Democratic Party. And Iran is genuinely genocidal. The Democrats kill a million black babies a year and harvest their organs. And then they accuse Israel of being genocidal when they fight a terrorist group called Hamas that attacked them, murdered, raped, kidnapped, and held hostage. And the Democrats are on the side of the raping hostage takers because they are the party of Eric Swalwell and Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Swinstein and Eric Swalwell. And they're the party of rape, let's be honest. And the party of slavery in the Confederate States of America. And it goes back to that too. But the use of language or the abuse of language by these people. Jake Sullivan, again, unintelligent man, sitting there with his buddy Bill Maher, having a little Democrat circle fest in the hot tub.

Speaker 3:
[08:49] Well, first of all, it's not just Bernie Sanders, as you know, it's 40 Democrats who voted for this. And basically, what they said was...

Speaker 6:
[08:54] That's right, only seven allies...

Speaker 3:
[08:56] .was pretty straightforward. And I talked to a number of them before the vote. I think they did the right thing. Why? Because the President of the United States... Those 40 Democrats. The 40? Yeah, because the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel brought the United States into a war that basically was misbegotten from the beginning, which cost American credibility, cost American lives, and cost American families at the gas pump. And basically, those Democrats shouldn't vote for anything that supports that war, including more weapons to Israel. I think that's just a basic proposition. If you are not wanting to support the US and Israel continuing the war on Iran, you shouldn't be voting to send more weapons to Israel. I think that that is the right approach for those 40 Democrats to take.

Speaker 6:
[09:37] Well, I see why Biden lost.

Speaker 2:
[09:39] Well, I see why Biden lost. These are the dumbest, most insincere, dishonest, anti-Semitic. Their Jews are anti-Semites. If you ever... And this happens in high school when you're talking about World War II. Maybe they do that now. And the rise of the Nazis, the Socialist Workers Party of Adolf Hitler. How could that happen? How could a population of cultured, civilized people become so hideously uncivilized in such a short period of time? Well, look at the Democrat Party today. Because if you want the blueprint for how Germany became Nazi Germany, look at the left in the United States today. Look at the Democratic Party. And again, these guys, the Socialist Workers Party of Adolf Hitler and Bernie Sanders with the Social Democrats Party and the honestly, just amazing stuff.

Speaker 3:
[10:41] I talked to a number of them before the vote. I think they did the right thing.

Speaker 2:
[10:44] Yeah, they did the right thing. And even Bill Maher shook his head, rolled his eyes, sucked his teeth a little and said, well, I now see why Joe Biden lost.

Speaker 6:
[10:53] Well, I see why Biden lost.

Speaker 2:
[10:55] Yeah, I see why Biden lost. Look, if you're an ally of the United States, the Democrat Party is your enemy. If you're an enemy of the United States, the Democrat Party is your ally. It couldn't be any more clear because the Democratic Party is anti-American. And if you're anti-American, they're with you. My enemy's enemy is my friend. And for the Democrat Party, their enemy is the United States of America and our Constitutional Republic. And their enemy's enemy is, you catch it, the Democrat Party. Just amazing stuff, amazing stuff. Yes, sir. And what is it? Hillary Clinton from 2008. This is a video that just reemerged. Hillary Clinton in June 4th, 2008, talking about terrorists and Iran, radical Islam, you know.

Speaker 7:
[11:54] I support calling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard what it is, a terrorist organization. Iran simply cannot be allowed to continue its current behavior.

Speaker 2:
[12:06] Can they continue to enrich uranium and extend the range of their ballistic missiles so that they can find themselves in possession of an arsenal of nuclear weapons, at least 11 nuclear weapons, atop ballistic missiles? That's like Al-Qaeda suddenly has their worse than Al-Qaeda in almost every way, by almost every measure. And the Democrat Party is the enemies of the United States. Hillary Clinton, she, other IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran, terrorist organization, just, just amazing, amazing stuff. And the Democrats, the Democrats on, on, on Iran, all the way back in Joe Biden, 2012, listen to Joe Biden here, in 2012 on no nukes for Iran since their terrorist organization.

Speaker 1:
[12:59] We will prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 2:
[13:03] No, you won't.

Speaker 1:
[13:04] By whatever means we need.

Speaker 2:
[13:06] By whatever means we need.

Speaker 1:
[13:08] Period.

Speaker 2:
[13:09] Fascist, the, and I actually saw some liberal online say, well, who are we to say whether other countries can have arsenals of nuclear weapons? They're a suicidal death cult. They're Jonestown. They're lining up for the, lining up for the Kool-Aid, even as we speak. They are called the Democratic Party, but there is really very little Democratic about them, isn't there? Yes, there is. And we got, well, let's see, the other one, the old, the old Dems at 2017 on Iran and nuclear weapons.

Speaker 8:
[13:46] France leaders should understand that I do not have a policy of containment. I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Speaker 2:
[13:54] Giant lie.

Speaker 8:
[13:54] The United States to use force when it is necessary to defend the United States and its interests.

Speaker 2:
[13:59] Biggest lie ever. And then he funded Iran, gave them plain loads of cash on pallets, shrink wrapped, the number one terror group on earth, funded by Hussein Obama with tax dollars, and then he unfroze all the accounts. They're terrorist groups, so we froze their accounts, so they don't have the money to perpetrate terrorist acts. And the Democrats want to give them the ammo and throw your children at their feet, because they're not on Team America. You know, right now, a lot of voices in our culture are very loud, but the truth is often silenced. Have you noticed that? And today, pre-born needs you to help speak that truth. Women facing unplanned pregnancies may be pressured to act quickly, you know what I'm saying, before they have time to pause and breathe and hear the truth and the heartbeat about the human life growing inside of them, the dignity, the hope. But I refuse to be silent, you're probably aware, and I'd like to ask you to join me. At Pre-Born Network Clinics, a woman is welcomed with open arms and compassion and given a free ultrasound. Hey, look at that little fella. She sees the human life growing inside of her, her baby, often for the very first time and in that sacred moment, fear gives way to clarity and to humanity, to compassion and she's offered something that the abortion industry will never offer, positivity and hope and humanity and the love of Jesus Christ. This April, our goal is to have 11,000 gospel-based conversations with pregnant moms in Pre-Born Network Clinics. You can help make that happen by sponsoring ultrasounds. Just $28 provides one ultrasound, $140 sponsors five ultrasounds for mothers in crisis. Every dollar helps to save unborn babies, human lives, and to share the hope of the gospel as well. To donate, all you have to do is dial pound 250, and when prompted, say the key word baby. That's pound 250, the key word is baby. Or you can go online to Al Gore's Amazing Internet and visit preborn.com/plant. That's preborn.com/p-l-a-n-t-e. Yes, sir. Yeah, yeah. All right, I have, I'm looking at the clock, the time I have available, and all of the content that the Democrats have given me. It's a race against time. And we're at 888-630-9625.

Speaker 2:
[17:21] I gotta tell you, Joe DiGeneva, now having been sworn in as counsel to the Attorney General, investigating Democrat Party corruption. These are not the good guys, not the good guys at all. And they're just, you had the Chris Matthews, remember Chris Matthews? He's not very well. He went on, where'd he go on, on MS-13 DNC, so he could yell about how great Jimmy Carter was on Iran.

Speaker 10:
[17:57] This regime is horrific. I was with it, as you pointed out, with Jimmy Carter. I was a speech rat. I went through that hell with him.

Speaker 2:
[18:04] Democrat.

Speaker 10:
[18:04] They determined that they waited till Jimmy Carter was defeated and out of office before they let the hostages go on. And Carter was not a big, violent guy by any means. Carter was not a hawk. He was a dove. He got rolled over. He may have even been a pacifist. He didn't believe in using military force to crush that regime.

Speaker 2:
[18:24] Desert one.

Speaker 10:
[18:24] And they took advantage of it.

Speaker 2:
[18:26] They took advantage. Well, they're terrorists. And Jimmy Carter was a weak sister. And that's a member of the media who was a Democrat, Democrat, Democrat media. What's the difference? Chris Matthews. Yeah, Jimmy Carter. He wasn't the hawk. No kidding.

Speaker 2:
[19:18] Barack Hussein Obama, who is an anti-American, anti-Semite, racist, jihadi, socialist, you know, Obama. That's a shorthand. Obama might be an acronym for, we should turn it into a backronym, shouldn't we? He was meeting with Mom Donnie, who is a communist, jihadi, anti-American, radical, extremist, leftist and Islamist, virulent, anti-Semite. And Obama was hanging out with Mom Donnie in New York, New York over the weekend, and they're singing to children. Don't we know enough to keep these people away from the children at this point? Honestly. But before we get to that, let's go to the telephones again. Let's go to Emily, calling from Roanoke, Virginia. Emily, you're on The Chris Plante Show.

Speaker 9:
[20:12] Good morning.

Speaker 2:
[20:13] Hello, Emily.

Speaker 9:
[20:14] Love your show. I just, and I've gotten away from my phone now. Been wondering with this redistricting thing, and they keep saying, oh, it's about Texas, it's about North Carolina. Why has nobody ever mentioned that in the last census, they overcounted mostly Democrat states and undercounted Republican states, including Texas and Florida?

Speaker 2:
[20:43] Well, the Democrats look for every possible avenue to corrupt everything they touch.

Speaker 9:
[20:50] But I don't know why the Republicans don't mention that.

Speaker 2:
[20:54] Because they're bad at politics.

Speaker 9:
[20:57] I mean, they should have used that in this voting scams. I mean, they're very districting.

Speaker 2:
[21:04] Yeah. Well, honestly, Republicans are bad at politics, and the Democrats are willing to lie, cheat, and steal at every turn. And they're very comfortable doing that, of course. And it works for them pretty well, right?

Speaker 9:
[21:19] Oh, yeah. We've got this governor that's wolf in soccer mom clothing. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[21:27] That's right. I take it, Emily, that you didn't vote for Governor Abigail Spanberger.

Speaker 9:
[21:33] No, I did not. No. And she didn't fool me.

Speaker 2:
[21:39] Well, right. And even if she had done everything she said she was going to do, which would be the opposite of everything that she's doing right now, she'd still be awful. But I've got to say, in that former CNN, excuse me, former CIA tie, and working there, and John Brennan in the middle of this, and I got to tell you, these people, again, Emily, they destroy everything they touch. The people, John Brennan and Abigail Spanberger, work at the CIA, and they're very, very bad for the reputation and the image of the CIA. They really are. The FISA court is tainted permanently going forward. The FBI and the Department of Justice are tainted because what the Democrats have done. The abuses of the IRS targeting patriot groups and tea party groups because they're not left-wing groups and being sued, and we, the taxpayers, had to hand over millions of dollars to tea party groups and groups with the word patriot in it because the Democrats targeted them and used the IRS to target them. And now if President Trump wants to look into corruption of the previous administration, the entirety of the news media, Emily, gangs up on him, the New York Times and NBC News and CBS and NBC and the Washington Post. They'll, oh, how dare you have Joe DeGenova look into corruption from a previous administration. Don't you know that Joe DeGenova gets along with the President of the United States, and that somehow makes it illegitimate, right, Emily?

Speaker 9:
[23:13] Right, and I hope that while this President is in office that we can get to the bottom of a lot of this stuff. I mean, I don't know if there's time, but.

Speaker 2:
[23:21] Well, you know, isn't it amazing how everything takes five to ten years with the government? You can't just look into something and get an answer, and have people come forward and have a hearing or do a news story for 60 minutes. Remember, they used to do that sort of thing. Speaking of which, since I just mentioned 60 minutes, I got to mention this because, Emily, you know, our news media, do you love our news media, you know, more than is natural?

Speaker 9:
[23:48] Oh, gosh.

Speaker 2:
[23:52] Let me share this story. This week, I guess it's later this week, I wasn't invited again, the White House Correspondents' Dinner being hosted by the White House Correspondents' Association. And here is the headline from mediaite, left-wingers at mediaite, Dan Rather. You remember Dan Rather? You're a very young woman. And Sam Donaldson, Sam Donaldson? I actually know them both personally, but that's a previous life thing. Dan Rather, Sam Donaldson and others demand press call President Trump out to his face at glitzy dinner in scorching letter. Now, you see, Emily, President Trump hasn't been going to the White House Correspondents' Dinner because he knows that it's a room full of terribly hostile people. And you may remember, Emily, that it was Donald Trump, citizen Trump, not in politics, went to the White House Correspondents' Dinner as a guest of one of the television networks sitting at one of the tables, Black Tie Dinner, and Barack Hussein Obama was there. And Barack Hussein Obama was speaking up at the podium, as the president normally does at the White House Dinner, and he was attacking President Trump. Well, he was attacking citizen Trump, Donald Trump, again and again. And I see Michael Pearcey has a bit of Barack Obama from that White House Dinner.

Speaker 8:
[25:14] No one is happier, no one is prouder, to put this birth certificate matter to rest than the Donald.

Speaker 2:
[25:21] Citizen Trump.

Speaker 8:
[25:23] And that's because he can finally get back to focusing on the issues that matter. Like, did we fake the moon landing? What really happened in Roswell? And where are Biggie and Tupac?

Speaker 2:
[25:46] And the White House press corps loved it because it was Barack Obama. It was Barack Obama, and they, you know, they're a lynch mob, they're the Democrat Party. Isn't that amazing? But here's Medi-ite. Listen to this, Assembly. More than 250 journalists, if you can call them that, including 94-year-old former CBS news anchor Dan Rather, and 92-year-old former ABC news anchor Sam Donaldson, signed an open letter on Monday, that's today, urging the press to, quote, forcefully demonstrate opposition, end quote, to President Donald Trump during the White House Correspondence Association dinner this week. And it's very officious and self-important. They write, we, the undersigned, call upon the White House Correspondence Association to use the occasion of the White House Correspondence Dinner to forcefully demonstrate opposition to President Trump's efforts to trample freedom of the press, the letter says, right? And so, Emily, the, you know, the press has been freed to attack and slander and malign and make up stories and pass around Eric Swalwell and other lies that the Democrat parties have been telling. The Democrat party is so in the tank, excuse me, the American news media, especially the Washington news media, so in the tank for the Democrat party and any Democrat to come along, that this is rather absurd and ironic. But the, the Dan Rathers, and I was Dan Rathers' driver once for about a week, the first landing of the space shuttle at Edwards Air Force Base in California. And Sam Donaldson, I've known since I was a teenager, my father worked with him as a reporter. My brother dated one of Sam Donaldson's daughters, and I know the daughter and the son, and I'm a friend's woman, and I was like the family, the people in the family. But here they come now, they wrote, the dinner has long served as a symbol of the vital and irreplaceable role of a free press in American democracy and a celebration of the First Amendment and the journalists who uphold it and many who destroy it and burn it and shred it and abuse it. President Trump's systematic, sustained and unprecedented attacks on the free press detailed below render his presence at such an event a profound contradiction of its purpose. I'll prevent it. Listen to the assembly. So what's your take? Because then they go on and on and on, and they really do go on and on and on. And President Trump has had some fights with the press because the press get out of bed every morning to have a fight with President Trump, right, Emily? I mean, am I wrong about anything here?

Speaker 9:
[28:42] No. Well, we know how some of these letters that have been gotten together and signed by multiple people have turned out to not to be true.

Speaker 8:
[28:53] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[28:53] Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 8:
[28:55] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[28:55] Well, if we had a press, we'd be at a very different place today as a country. I don't think there's any doubt about that. Emily, you're very pleasant.

Speaker 9:
[29:03] Well, thank you. So are you, and I'm thrilled to have gotten through.

Speaker 2:
[29:07] I'm thrilled that you got through also. Thank you. Have a wonderful Roanoke Virginia Day.

Speaker 9:
[29:12] Well, we're the rest of Virginia instead of Northern Virginia. But we'll see how things turn out tomorrow.

Speaker 2:
[29:18] They made it pretty funky up here.

Speaker 9:
[29:20] We voted already. We voted early. I was afraid I might get run over by some-

Speaker 2:
[29:26] Renee Goode?

Speaker 9:
[29:28] Yes, illegal before Tuesday, so we voted early.

Speaker 2:
[29:32] That's true. Illegal aliens are out there killing people every day because the Democrats want them to.

Speaker 9:
[29:38] It's terrible.

Speaker 2:
[29:39] It is. Yeah, they're really not on our side. Boy, are they not on our side. Emily, thank you. Very nice talking to you.

Speaker 9:
[29:45] You're welcome.

Speaker 2:
[29:46] And yeah, and I love this. Michael Pearcey found this story this morning of Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson signing on to a letter with 250 journalists. I got to tell you, you know, that reminds me of you. Have you seen President Trump's arch that he wants to build on the other side of the Memorial Bridge, just on the Virginia side of the Memorial Bridge? The Memorial Bridge is a beautiful stone bridge in Washington, DC., across the Potomac River. And it starts at the Lincoln Memorial, on the west front of the Lincoln Memorial, crosses the mighty Potomac River, and on the other side of the river is Virginia. And then you enter, it's the Memorial Bridge, because it enters Arlington National Cemetery there, which was started in that location because it was Robert E. Lee's plantation. Abraham Lincoln had asked Lee to head the Union Army. He said, no, I'm going to go head the Confederate Army. And so, after one of the nearby battles in Virginia, the Union Army took all of the dead bodies from the battle and buried all of the dead bodies in Robert E. Lee's garden at the Lee Mansion and Mrs. Lee's garden where they grew food. And suddenly it was a cemetery of Confederate soldiers and Union soldiers. And that's why it became the cemetery. Now, as you cross the Memorial Bridge, there is a traffic circle on the west side of the bridge now that you're in Virginia. And President Trump has announced that he's going to be putting an arch, building an arch there, kind of roughly on the model of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. That's English for Paris. That's Paris. And the thing is this arch is 250 feet tall, 250 feet tall, and on top of it, a stone arch. That makes it as tall as a 25-story building. There really are no 25-story buildings in Washington, DC. The Washington Monument is 555 feet, five-and-nine-tenths inches. But it's an obelisk and not a building, not an arch. And the president, this has become a food fight. And this arch, which has a giant golden angel, looks, you might think it's an eagle or something, but it's an angel, and it's 60 feet high, the golden angel on top of the arch. So that's six stories high, like a six-story building, 60 feet high for the golden angel on top of the arch, and the arch is 200 overall, 250 feet high. And I think that the Arc de Triomphe is about 140 feet high. I think that's right. And this is a large arch, and I'm gonna say this right now. It'll never be built. It'll, now President Trump may have bulldozers there this afternoon to start building, but if he thinks he's gonna get this built, he might as well send the bulldozers there today, because this will be stopped. This 250-foot-high arch with a 60-foot golden angel and others, a lot of gold on it elsewhere too. They're, you know, good next to the 60-foot golden angel. There are other gold, I don't know if they're eagles or something else. And then under the arch, there is gold inlaid here and there. And I've got to say, it's, I love the arch. We've got cool arches in New York and New York City, and certainly Rome has good arches, and Greece has when I've visited all of them. I've been to, you know, the Arc de Triomphe got hustled by a gypsy woman trying to cheat me out of a wedding ring or something. Big fun, good stuff. And I like all this stuff. And I like the idea of an arch. This arch would have to be dialed down from 12 to 9, I think. It's too big, it's out of scale. The, oh, again, what is it? Across the Memorial Bridge on the east side, there's the Lincoln Memorial. It's 90 feet high, 90 feet. Then you cross this side over here, 250-foot arch with gold all over it. And I said, you know who Enver Hoxha is? Enver Hoxha was a communist dictator in Albania. I started going to Albania in the 1990s, and Enver Hoxha was gone by then, but he was one of the worst Stalinist, Maoist dictators, communist dictators, in all of the Soviet Union in the Soviet days. And I looked at this arch and I said, that looks like Enver Hoxha's arch. It looks a little too Albanian, I think. Too much gold, it's too big, it's not to scale. You can do some big things in Washington, but this would be the biggest thing. It would be bigger than anything. Not as tall as the Washington Monument, but bigger and heavier and more stone and more gold and more. And I look at it and I say, you know what, the idea I can kind of get behind. He needs my advice on everything, I think. But that if there is any hope of an arch being built at that location during the Trump presidency, never be built after the Trump presidency, it's going to have to be dialed down, simplified a bit, and it shouldn't look like Enver Hoxha's Albanian arch. I'm just saying, you may love the arch, you may like it. I'm not a fan of the arch, and it will never be built, not in its current form. I put a dollar down on that right now.

[35:29] Hey there, I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. Do not ever worry about your salary. You need enough to make sure that you aren't in a bad financial position. Once you have that, your salary becomes moot. What matters from that point forward, upside gains. Any type of ownership stake or ownership potential, that's the money. Remember, you can afford anything, just not everything. Afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

Speaker 2:
[36:02] All right, the FBI director is Cash Patel. Cash Patel, President Trump's pick to head the FBI and a left-wing magazine, very popular with left-wingers, called The Atlantic, did a slanderous piece on Cash Patel, claiming that he was drinking too much and drink, drink, drink, and that he wasn't showing up to work and implying that he's got a big drinking problem and that's why he's not being a good FBI director and all that. Now, we learned this morning Cash Patel is suing The Atlantic Magazine for $250 million for defamation and slandering him and making all this stuff up in this magazine article. It says excessive drinking, unexplained absences from work, it's defamatory, designed to destroy his reputation. So Cash Patel is suing them for $250 million and that is great. Just Brian Seltzerwater, Brian Seltzerwater on the on the subject.

Speaker 5:
[37:12] Here's the statement from the Atlantic just a few moments ago saying, quote, we stand by our reporting on Cash Patel and we will vigorously defend the Atlantic and our journalists against this meritless lawsuit. CNN has not independently corroborated the anecdotes that are in that Atlantic article. The FBI director is MIA. It's still up on the home page of the atlantic.com, and it's one of the most read articles on the website and has been, ever since it came out on Friday evening.

Speaker 11:
[37:37] 420, you know 420.

Speaker 12:
[37:39] No, what's that?

Speaker 11:
[37:40] You've never heard of 420? It includes smoking cannabis around the time 420 p.m. as well as on the date April 20th.

Speaker 12:
[37:47] No, that's not what mine says. Mine says 420 was the birthday of Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party. A fella went by the name of Adolf Hitler. There's a picture of him. Very compelling kind of a figure. Odd-looking duck.

Speaker 2:
[38:13] Liberals, happy birthday from liberals to, you know.
