This is the full, timestamped transcript of "The Chris Plante Show (Dec 2, 2022) | Hour 3 - Macron and Democracheese", an episode of The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz published December 2, 2022 (40 min, about 6,239 words). It mentions 6 people, works and ideas, including Hung Cao, Scott Pelley, Fisher House Foundation, Apple Inc., Thomas Jefferson High School.

What this episode is about

The discussion focuses on President Joe Biden's perceived pro-union stance, particularly his actions surrounding the railroad unions and the recent avoidance of a rail strike, which the host criticizes as a political maneuver rather than genuine support for labor interests. The segment also critiques mainstream media's role in propagating narratives favorable to the administration while highlighting concerns about governmental overreach in labor negotiations and public perception.

Key takeaways

  • Biden’s 'union-friendly' image masks a complicated legislative landscape where outcomes are often theatrically staged, not earned.
  • The narrative of 'averted crises' requires a critical look—did he own the moment or merely preserve the illusion?
  • Congress can 'force acceptance' on unions, but does that foster unity or merely bulldoze dissent in labor negotiations?
  • While claiming to champion free speech, the Democrats often sidestep issues where it truly matters—like international protests.
  • In the battle for 'heart and mind,' who really controls the narrative—politicians or the media that plays along?

foreign this is a president that has delivered for for the union and he sees himself as a pro-union uh president he's that that uh that term has been given to him by by labor ah he's Mr Union he's lunch bucket Joe as I saw a member of Congress yesterday called lunch pail Joe or something I think he was aspiring to lunch bucket Jeff but he missed it by that much yeah he's Mr Union that's why he uh pretended to cut a deal with the railroad unions before the midterm elections so they could lie to everyone and remember Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes praised Joe Biden for being so magnificent for averting a rail strike which is back because it was all you know it's information dominance it's propaganda it's not journalism politics you know can be politics but that's why the Geniuses that founded our country in 1776 and not in 1609 as the Democrats and their rewriting of History like to pretend see George Orwell in 1984.

that's why they created the fourth estate as the ultimate check in our system of checks and balances unfortunately it's been corrupt corrupted by uh filthy uh you know the filthies I'll just call them the filthies Mr President you have just averted a nationwide Railroad Strike that would have been crippling how did you do that how did you do that what a magnificent question Scott Pelley that's why you make millions of dollars here and you have many lucite blocks and golden statuettes at home how did you do that well he didn't it was a fake it was a fraud but you participated in it or you were suckered by it and you'll never say a word about that the front page of the Washington Post today house votes to force acceptance of rail deal I like the use of the word Force goal is to bypass strike as unions push Senate to support paid sick days and uh now I mean I got to tell you the Congress intervenes to force

acceptance Democrats love forcing acceptance they do a lot of that and sometimes the people um you know with whom they force acceptance might steal your luggage and the luggage thieves in the Democrat Party they had a couple of Democrats type up this piece on the front page the house voted Wednesday to force a deal between Freight rail carriers and unions blocking a potential strike that threatened travel Supply chains and the busy holiday shopping season you know Joe Biden was talking to me and he said that we are too dumb to know what Supply chains were you know we the American people he said this he was talking to a group of people he said well you know nobody knew what Supply chains were ten years ago how many knew what tele supply chain was I did no I'm serious no I'm serious no I'm not kidding so I'm serious I'm not kidding again so here's what they do it's you know top-down government

they'll force it because they're not coming to terms so the state will force it which reminds me of Hong Kao hung cow who's a great American wonderful guy uh I'll call him a friend that's right because we've met and we we text and things and um and he was running for congress in Virginia and and the midterm elections he he was defeated by the corrupt Democrat machine and by dim-witted democrats in Virginia who are pro-crime and all that stuff um Jennifer wexton who is just a horrible terrible member of Congress not a good American at all hung cow Naval Academy U.S naval officer working with special operators hot spots around the world explosive ordinance guy I mean he's uh and he's an extraordinary American and he was running for the House of Representatives but uh the propaganda machine won again and they sent this uh half-wit back to Congress but Hong Kong was on the Fox News Channel this morning I get

up early and I take in all the news you know you know that's what I do hung cow was on and he was talking about the Communists in China uh brutally beating down and Joe Biden has nothing to say about it in the white house they got that uh you know comrade Kirby now formerly known as Kabul Kirby now comrade Kirby who's uh playing footsie with the Communists in China who are brutalizing their population they're you know yearning to breathe free they want freedom because it's human nature to want freedom and that's why our brilliant Constitution and our Bill of Rights are so important to humankind and that's also why the Democrats uh urinate on them with such frequency the First Amendment they're right to freely practice religion and Free Speech their anti-free speech and just ask Elon Musk um they're cracking down on him I was cracking down on a billion people in communist China well Hong Kao his uh

family was he and his family were able to get out of Vietnam as the Communists were rolling in thanks in part to Jane Fonda and the Democrat Party in the United States of America we're on the sides of on the side of the Communists and not on the side of Freedom loving people everywhere and again uh Kabul Kirby uh comrade Kirby with his well we don't really comment on protests around there we don't support uh people striving for Freedom around the world president's not going to speak for protesters around the world he's not going to speak for protest what do you think he's the president of the United States or something the leader of the Free World he's not he's a word that just occurred to me that I can't say on the radio we're not taking a side yeah they're not taking a side they don't speak for protesters around the world you're on your own huh because this is today's Democrat Party they're the left they're not liberals

they don't believe in liberalism they believe in leftism you're on your own let's go to uh let's go to Hong Kong who should be Congressman Hong Kong and perhaps next time around here's a hung cow on Fox News early this morning talking about what's going on in communist China uh because his family uh was able to get away from the commies should we be surprised I mean look at in 1989 no one remembers the name of Wang Wei Lin he's the young man that stood defiantly in front of those column tanks in Tiananmen Square and he was taken away afterwards to re-education Camp then fast forward 30 years later in Hong Kong all the protests that occurred and and it was conveniently quieted after the coveted outbreak just a coincidence which didn't come from the Wuhan Institute of virology it came from the poor middle class people really no middle class just the poor people with their wet Market that makes it sound

appealing doesn't it hey where you going for lunch the wet Market mmm sounds good um hung out tell you about what the commies are doing with this lockdown and the Democrats and uh comrade Kirby can't say much about it because the Democrat Party here is the lockdown party here in the United States here's Hong Kau we also saw that the Chinese Communist Party were welding people into their homes or or chaining them at the outbreak and the West just uh heralded their their efforts to control kovid but you know this is What communists do I mean the the I know communism very well we escaped it both of my grandfathers were taken away by the Communists my mom's dad was murdered by them uh when she was 12 years old and my dad's uh father was taken away by the communist this you know very early on when he was 13 years old in orson's labor So This Is What communists do This Is What communists do we all used to know this

but the re-education camp known as the American educational system and the academy the university says in the United States has erased the real history of the 20th century and replaced it with the radical left-wing anti-American anti-capitalist version of the history of the 20th century and that's your Democrat Party and if you'd like your little boy to be a little girl the Democrat Party is there for you if you'd like your little girl who used to be a boy to join the after-school Satan club uh the Democrat Party is there for you and uh hung cow and his last name is spelled c-a-o if you're looking for him uh Great American so many immigrants are better Americans than so many Native born Americans and Hong Kong is one of those the uh TJ Thomas Jefferson High School in Virginia Which the Democrats have ruined I think right they've ruined it and the Naval Academy in Annapolis which the Democrats are working on ruining and

he made reference to the the welding people into their building there's video of these commies welding people into their building and then there was a fire in the building and they couldn't get out because the commies welded it shut might be an ADA non-compliance issue or you know even OSHA should be called but the commies they just kill everybody and they're fine they're fine with that and uh 10 people maybe 11 burned alive in the building that the commies welded shut because there's a lockdown

want the same thing they want to remain in power and so don't be surprised when he takes very Draconian uh you know even harder uh stances to to quell these uh these insurrections he's gonna do it and he's gonna do it uh fast and hard they learn from Tiananmen they uh they renamed their uh the pla to the the pap right the people's armed police same thugs different uniforms and uh they're gonna do the same thing again uh that's what I've been saying the last couple of days too uh you know they're it's not they're going to let this go oh how's it going to go I know how it's going to go they're going to crush them and uh uh Apple uh I have two Apple products right in front of me right now apple is helping the Communist crack down by cutting off Communications among the protesters and limiting access to airdrop and and uh other other means of communication apple is working hand in Iron glove with

the Communist Regime in China as they brutalize their people and crush a Freedom Movement and President Joe Biden and the Biden Administration are worse than silent on the issue and comrade Kirby is a disgrace to Western civilization and to the United States Navy which he served for so many years and he sits there and smiles and you know boy you must really want that job to sacrifice your honor and integrity like that comrade Kirby maybe you should try telling the truth you can find a job somewhere else doesn't pay that much you got your Navy retirement what a disgrace and at the same time of course Elon Musk who is the villain of the story is Mr free speech you know he went way out of his way to facilitate free communications among the ukrainians right and uh where else he has facilitated uh Freedom movements with the technology and his satellites and and all that good stuff just extraordinary and he's the villain

according to the Democrats and the American news media for being too free speech in America and I think we've got stuff on that today too because the media is anti-elon musk because he is pro-free speech this is a disgraceful time for the Democrat Party and uh for by extension the news media since they are an engorged extension of the body politic of the Democrats right about now seasonal excitement or maybe dread is probably starting to settle in especially if you're a small business owner but it's not too late to get your holiday mailing and shipping under control with stamps.com because stamps.com is your One Stop Shop for all your shipping and mailing needs get access to U.S Postal Service and UPS services that you need to run your business right from your computer from home from your office on the road no lines no traffic no parking no hassles not for you and if you need a package pickup you can easily schedule a package

cancer back in 2015 and we stayed at the Pittsburgh Fisher house um when uh when he was getting surgery and operated on uh at the VA there and it was quite um well you know when you're going through that kind of a situation being there close to your family member is a pretty big deal and it was very traumatic you know at the time but you know it was also very I don't know it was all I can say is it was so eye-opening to me because um I spent my career in broadcast TV but after my experience at Fisher house it was like I I need to do something Fisher house related um and so you know you're there watching other families go through their own situations and I just thought how fortunate are we to have this resource and it was a crucial time for me to be there for my family and just see how blessed we are that's exactly right they're just dazzling the Fisher House people are so dazzling and now you are one of them

yeah um it's pretty incredible I've uh been with the Fisher house for about two years and I cannot Chris I can't even tell you the stories that I cover here at Fisher house and the resiliency that you see many of these families go through I mean I talked to Gold Star sister wife father um and you know I tried to understand their journey and listen to them but the most impactful thing is how they just move forward and safe and they they're just so positive and resilient for you know everything that they've been through I mean a lot of times you hear how service members are broken but honestly I don't see it that way at all I mean these people will inspire you they'll motivate you and pick up a copy of our Patriot magazine I mean it's it's a great way of seeing how amazing these people are uh and you make videos now you say you come from broadcast TV is it television news your background yeah television news was my background

for for many many years and I thought I was going to do it forever but then a few few years back I just thought you know it's time for me to to look into doing other things and I knew this was just where I belonged and it's just amazing to be able to be a part of the submission and and and see um the type of impact we can have uh that is an extraordinary story and God bless you and and all of the people of Fisher house and the phone number thank you so much Chrissy for calling in the phone number is 888-294-8560 this is the Chris plant show

ah yes I I need to uh I need to tweak a thing or two here uh correction or two we were watching CNN CNN is going through layoffs today and yesterday and tomorrow tomorrow is apparently the big day of layoffs but CNN was telling us they had a picture of dinner being served at the White House with the main lobsters and the big tall white Chef's hats and things uh talking about and macaron the Frenchy French they're having big conflicts with the French by the way because uh the Democrats you know they're bad at everything Joe Biden Mr Mr diplomacy was going to restore our standing in the world uh the French president is here macaroni and cheese and he um you know this is the country with which we have had the longest diplomatic relationship they were the first country to Senate Ambassador they were the first country to which we sent an ambassador so our diplomatic relations go back with France longer

than with any other country and we are still at war with Britain for a long long time and all that and they were helping us and their war against Britain uh but uh the Biden Administration screwed over the French because he poached a submarine contract that they had struck a hard-fought deal with Australia France was going to build Australia's submarines and um the the Biden Administration stole the contract and the French were so Furious that they withdrew their ambassador to the United States for the first time in history and now the French are furious with us because of Joe Biden's environmental policies and apparently the French think that we should be buying more of their stuff and less of our own stuff and so the French are Furious again but we were watching we were looking at the CNN coverage and they showed these photographs and and it looked like the state dinner was last night and and

talking about the lobsters and Maine and all this stuff uh the state dinner is tonight as I had suggested early on and um and not last night and it was um Biden today not last night talking about the the Marquis De Assad not the Marquita sad not really but uh the Marcus of Queensbury not the Marcus of Queensbury but the uh the Marquis de Lafayette and Joe Biden thinks his name is Marcus Marcus de Lafayette my friend and I were talking France is our oldest Ally our unwavering partner and Freedom's cause from the spirit of Marcus Lafayette who helped secure the success of our Revolution thanks Marcus yeah the Marcus Lafayette that's uh that's our president France withdrew their Ambassador now they're Furious again but they're going to have a state dinner and what do they have like yesterday is lobster they poach it because CNN said they were poaching the lobster but the dinner's tonight that's not very fresh

I don't think I like that makes me think it makes me think about Lobster though because you know it's real good mmm oh and they've got the caviar too you can't have your Lobster without your caviar what's the matter with you anyway yeah the yeah right and yeah the economy is good at the white house because because it's our money yeah this guy is uh really something yes he is let's go let's go back to sound bite number two because Joe Budden you know we had him uh uh going what 29 times uh saying he's not kidding he's not joking then he uh not kidding not joking last night then he's not kidding not joking this morning every time he says that he's kidding or he's joking or he's lying or he's got it wrong one way or the other well let's go to Joe Biden um yesterday with the Native American nations and uh pandering and sucking up and making things up all over the place respect for tribes as Nations and treaties as law

respect for it's being happy pardon I I just said no said now he's got a little worried he was getting ready and by no no so no they don't respect the laws what and he decided because he heard a noise from the crowd he'd stop and start having a conversation in the middle of a what is theoretically a presidential speech because amazingly he's the president of the United States boy isn't that amazing and he claimed that he's uh you know the best president ever and he's done more than anybody but um let's go to number number four um hey it's always just like with the French it's about the climate and the environment and uh macron and the French are very upset because he said we don't have audio oh no we do it we have audio of the Frenchy French uh being very upset uh through a translator they got a lady translator because when you're a Frenchman really what's the difference and uh was he wearing a dress or

anything like that like so many Biden Administration officials that codon might have had a skirt or dress on underneath so uh yeah macron today at the white house uh through a translator and listen to this he's uh their biggest concerns and listen to what fascists there keeping in mind that environmentalism here as in Europe in Europe they call the radical environmentalists they call them uh watermelons because they're green on the outside but they're red on the inside right and so he's talking about the climate the weather hey the weather is kooky isn't it he's talking about disinformation which means uh the truth that they don't want you to know they talk about hate speech which is anything anybody else says and and that these are the first steps and we've already seen these first steps to uh trampling your free speech rights and that's why you don't see them speaking up about what's going on in China because they're

halfway there themselves at least and they know that that's their eventual destination the lockdowns the control of her speech shutting down access as apple is helping with left-wing billionaires at Apple helping the Communists trample the Free Speech rights of the slave labor that makes their phones do you see the video yesterday we talked about it yesterday but video came out of the commies beating the hell out of people at the Apple Factory at the Apple Factory because you know they get back this is what slavery is communism is slavery slavery is communism welcome to the 21st century and uh so he's and then he's uh talking about relativism because the French you know Jean-Paul start you got to Circle your navel at least once a day so here's the Frenchy French oh democracy on both sides of the ocean are being shaken by the same doubts as to our ability to be sufficiently strong and effective when it comes to the

challenges we share those of the climate to politics and Technology they're in doubt in the face of relativism hate speech false information and today's fears yeah did you catch that that's first of all I think that actually could be a Frenchman that's uh it's difficult to say democracy it's the Democracy under threat the New York Times took a poll with their uh University polling partner about the threats to democracy on the lead up to because it was a Democrat Party talking point on the lead up to the midterm elections so the New York Times you know got their shoulder behind the Democrat Party wheel the the neo-fascists uh wheel um and you know they don't believe in free speech and that's why they're trying to crush Elon Musk the African that saved the world right and he's going to save the United States from itself hopefully but said democracy the New York Times found that the number

one threat to democracy in the United States according to their poll the American people believe and it's 84 percent of us believe that asked about threats to democracy 84 percent of us said the news media is the number one threat to our democracy all right 59 said a major threat 25 Saying A Minor Threat to our democracy total of 84 percent of us saying that the news media is the number one threat to our democracy the number two threat to our democracy in this New York Times poll was the Democratic Party because the Democratic party isn't and this Frenchy French says the threat to our democracy climates really the weather is a threat to our democracy that is uh that is a veiled fascism um geopolitics technology disinformation hate speech and relativism went off the French rails over there right because they're French what can you say that's what they do didn't macron marry a school teacher or something like that

his his not a school teacher it was he was a student she was a school teacher in the United States that gets a prison sentence in France you become first lady I'm not sure which is the right solution as a you know young boy who had a crush on Miss Sheehan in the third grade but but never mind then all right so uh Joe Biden back to Joe Biden with the Native American uh uh the tribes yesterday and again it's the weather it's the weather the Native Americans have survived for you know Millennia here in North America after crossing the land bridge from Asia and uh now the Democrats are going to make the weather better for us and as all of you know there are tribal communities at risk of being washed away washed away by Super Storms right at sea levels and wildfires Raging Sea levels I've flown over there's several thousand acres of the storms and the fires said that and and the West in particular

is also down in the southwest also this is devastating it's devastating sea levels and superstorm Sandy might the New Jersey Native Americans were in big trouble with their houses and manteloking on the beach and on the Bay Side too let's not forget about the Bayside mansions in Mantoloking with super storm Sandy and uh superstorm Sandy and uh there he is and uh he wants his chakra released and uh sea levels the rising sea levels that this I I you know the propaganda machine of the Democrat Party is so amazing and then guess who else uh weighed in on the weather Kamala we should write a Kamala song don't you think Kamala was there and she wanted to talk about the weather too our Administration is also fighting for climate and environmental justice justice native communities are on the front line native to fight against the climate crisis front line of the fight against the cloud land your tribes have

long called home are increasingly being threatened by Wildfire drought and sea level rise land R and across America native communities are disproportionately impacted by toxic air and water pollution they love the race card and everything the other day uh the great story was that daylight saving time uh disproportionately impacts people of color daylight saving time disproportionately impacts people of color POC people of color I wonder if they could be bigger racist or bigger fools bigger buffoons but the thing is the educational system has collapsed in the United States so they've got enough people believing this propaganda and and the Frenchy French who brought his school teacher with whom he's you know is I'll just say they're still dating and wow man Elizabeth Warren you know her Pocahontas she's a Native American my Papaw had high cheekbones like all of the Indians do so she's going to be

disproportionately impacted by superstorm Sandy and rising sea levels too you know if you're so concerned about rising sea levels why did Barack Obama buy an ocean front to state for 14 million dollars in Martha's Vineyard and why did he buy another what was how much do how many millions did he pay for the Hawaii estate because he bought the um he bought Robin's Nest the Hawaii Oceanfront estate from the TV show Magnum P.I you know where Higgins was there you know that Higgins was in Blazing Saddles too he was Higgins was in Blazing Saddles and uh you know Magnum P.I good old what's his name Tom Selleck and Obama bought that house and bulldozed it tore it down destroyed it come on it was like uh you know every every uh everybody's childhood dream to buy the house from Magnum PI someday grew up and he did he went into politics and uh you know so you become really really rich if you're good at it know

they bought the house for eight and a half million but I don't know how much the renovation costs yeah I bought the house for eight and a half million that was what I was I was thinking eight million and um and then they you know I had crossed a bunch of money to tear it down and I think they're still building because it's you know like super storm Sandy it's like uh it's a massive house it's an extraordinary giant Oceanfront Hawaiian Villa it was a beautiful place I would have been happy with that but I'm probably not as picky as you know these men of the people they're going to need more man oh man ah I'm telling you what about sister Paul and what about her all right we are today is Fisher house today and tomorrow Fisher house day as well and how much do we have I think we're we're at uh more than 157 thousand dollars the last time I looked but today is Fisher house day and the number because I know you want
