And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Breaking news today on Chewing the Fat. Reporting live from the street is Jeff Fisher. Jeff, you're on the streets joining us here today on Chewing the Fat. I am, Jeff. I'm right here. I'm reporting live from the street. We have breaking news outside of Manhattan Criminal Court.

Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office has declined to comment, but we found out today that the video footage from Jeffrey Epstein's suicide attempt has mysteriously gone missing. Wait, what was that report, Jeff? That's right, you heard me, Jeff. The video footage of the suicide attempt has gone missing.

Nick Tarnaglone, the man who's been accused of trying to beat up Jeffrey Epstein and killing the man who Jeffrey Epstein claimed beat him up said video footage will prove him innocent. So what happened to the video footage? It's gone missing and they don't know what happened to it. Darn the luck.

So the attorney, when asked about it, said, on the surface, it's troubling. Duh. And the judge has reportedly told them to look further into what happened to, the footage. All right. Thanks,

Jeff, for reporting on the street. You bet you're reporting live for chewing the fat breaking news when chewing the fat records. News happens.

Back to you, Jeff. Just amazing. What did I do with that video tape? Oh, man. Oh, darned a lot. I can't figure out what I did.

Huh. Man. Wish I had it. No, it's one of those things. So I don't know where these teachers were when I went to school a hundred years ago, but a substitute teacher in Massachusetts High School has been fired. Fired.

For leading a discussion in his class. Isn't that what teacher are supposed to do? Lead discussions in class. Teach students. Well, yes, but he's been fired because he led a discussion about smoking marijuana. and he fired up some pot in glass. All right, kids.

Oh, my gosh. Okay. You saw how I put the water in the bong. And then I found the correct pot that we wanted to use. Now, this one was actually grown in my basement, but you can buy it from other people on the street if you want. And you pack it in the bowl. Now, you don't want to pack it too tight,

because you want the air to go through it once the fire hits it. As you can tell if it's too tight, it takes too long for it to burn through. Now, the reason that you want the water, some people prefer different beverages in the bong. I prefer just chilled water so it cools the smoke down a little bit. And then you just light the match or the, actually what works the best is not one of the big wood stick matches, but really a lighter like this one here. Now once you inhale it all the way, You want to hold it as long as you possibly can.

Now, some people feel a little dizzy. And so you might want to sit down or at least lean up against the desk here like I'm doing. And then when you can't hold it anymore, exhale. Now, a lot of people may exhale into someone else's mouth, but I don't, just because this is class. And, you know, we're trying to teach you. Billy, why don't you come up here? And what I'm going to do is I'm going to watch you pack the bowl and they'll watch you fire up the bong and see if you do it right go ahead that's right keep keep inhaling as we go

that's good that's good keep it up see now notice how he's holding the fire and I don't get it too close because your finger see I told you your finger's going to get a little hot there yeah the lighter gets too hot I know what happens but this is what we're having the class for to teach you that and you a lot of people don't fire it up right after one by one like that little hot boxing going on we don't want to really do that that's not good you want to to take your time a little bit. I mean, come on. I want a teacher.

Where's that teacher when you need it? Really? Now, according to the school, the teacher's now been fired and, man, we just, it's an unfortunate and unprecedented action. And we don't know, we want the,

we want the students to realize that they showed great maturity and courage during this experience. and it meant a lot to the school that they told us what was going on in the class. It was entirely unexpected. And again, as I said before, it's unprecedented. Man, do I want students like that in my classroom? Now, do I want them in that classroom with my kids?

Probably not. Probably not. I would say you don't want them in the classroom with your kids too. But for me, I want that teacher in my classroom. No problem. So speaking of kids and, you know, study. and learning and how to do stuff. You want to get bummed out a little bit?

You know We could probably Make some money on YouTube Or you know We could just hang out SmokeBot with our teacher You know So you know

Today is one of those historic days And don't play Don't do it I don't want to hear the I don't want to hear the Political music Saying it's too political I just

No I don't want to hear it That's the point What I'm saying is, what I'm saying is, is that yesterday was, you know, historic and makes every day after a historic day, historic, right? Because it's the day after the historic day. So it's historic in and of itself being historically after the historic day. But we, you know, our president, Donald Trump was impeached. Two counts. No, I get to talk about this just news.

Please, I don't want to hear that. You know, it was impeached. I did a show in Tampa last night. For those of you listening live, it's the 19th of December, 2019. I don't know if you're listening live on doing the Pat podcast. And you know that Chris is not here, otherwise you'd hear. That's impossible. It's impossible.

No, you wouldn't hear that because I asked not to play that. So one of the things that happened yesterday was the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, opened up the impeachment. process in the house and she came out and well this is what happened thank you madam speaker i thank the gentleman for yielding for his tremendous leadership in helping us honor the constitution of the united states i also extend my gratitude to chairman shift who will be uh presiding leader in the day my colleagues this morning and every morning when we come together members rise and place and Pledge allegiance to the flag.

Do they? Every day, all across America, children in school. No, they don't answer, because your party doesn't let them do that anymore, but go ahead. Also pledge allegiance to the flag. Let us recall what that pledge says. Okay, let's do that. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic, to the Republic.

Which isn't a democracy, which is what it is. you like to call us all the time, but go ahead. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay. The republic for which it stands is what we are here to talk about today. Okay. A republic. That's enough.

That's all I want to hear. My point is when she was reading the Pledge of Allegiance and that she was reading it. You know, I know she didn't want to screw up and it was, you know, her big moment in the sun wearing her black dress and there was impeachment. So it's such a somber day. She did. You can watch, if you watch the video. you see her look down to check the words of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Now, you say to yourself, who doesn't know the Pledge of Allegiance? I mean, it's the Pledge of Allegiance, right? And even she still believes that children say it in school. They don't. But maybe your kid does. Who knows? Maybe they do. But my guess is that most schools in today's world don't.

Because it's easier not to, because they don't have to argue about. who has to stand and who doesn't stand and who has to put their hand over their heart and who doesn't have to put their hand over their heart and who is offended by hearing the Pledge of Allegiance and who isn't offended. It's just agonizing. So it's easier for the school to say,

you know what, we're not going to do it. But it's fine. And you say to yourself, okay, well, I mean, if they do it, like she claims, they should know the Pledge of Allegiance, right? Well, let's see if that's true because the Daily Wire sent out their street.

reporter, Austin Fletcher, to the University of Southern California. Now, the University of Southern California is one of those universities where a lot of parents spent a lot of money to get their kids in when they couldn't get in. Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, pay for my tuition, Lori! And after this, you may ask yourself, why did Lori, Lori, Lori, Lori, pay for my tuition, Lori, pay that money to try to get her kids into this particular University, USC. Ladies, can I ask you a question, social experiment, 10 seconds.

I'm very nice. Do you guys all know the Pledge of Allegiance? Yes. Yeah? You all sound pretty kind. Let's hear. Let's go. Two girls, let's go. One, two, three. I pledge allegiance to the United States in America and to the Republic for which it stands. One Nation, Under God, individual, liberty, justice for all. Slopping on the side, but pretty good over there. Oh, yeah.

Do you know the Pledge of the right? Not that good. Girl on the left made it through. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America under God. Yeah, no. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for Wichistands. One nation under God. Oh, she's all you know.

Can't know that. I forgot the last part. Yeah. All right, look at it up. Look at that. Yeah. Pleasure of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. Damn.

Yeah. Do you know the Pledge of Allegiance? I think so. Let's go for it. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic from which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible for the youth.

For service, justice, and for all or something like that. Close. No, no, no, no, no, it wasn't close at all. No, it wasn't close at all. No, no, no, no, that wasn't. This goes on for about 10 minutes. It is agonizing. Now, listen, I know.

I know. Videos could be edited. Maybe he ran across 50,000 students at USC that knew the pledge. These are the only ones he put on the video. It's possible. It's possible that that happened. You and I both know that it didn't. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today on Chewing the Fat.

Raise your hand if we even knew that Julian Assange was still around. That's what I thought. No one did. No one cares. No one cares about Julian Assange anymore. Well, I guess his attorneys do. I mean, it's simply amazing that he's still in the news. He wants, he's trying to say that the extradition treaty between the UK and the U.S.

gives 48-year-old protection. We're still after him. We're still trying to bring him in. I mean, he's amazingly, faces 18 charges, including conspiring to commit computer intrusion. He's accused of working with former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to leak hundreds and thousands of classified documents. I mean, he was there.

He was there in court looking, you know, spry as ever in his light blue jumper and his white shirt. and he confirmed his name and day to birth and sat back down and took a little nap off it on for the 45 minutes and then they wheeled him out again. Amazing. I can't believe we still actually care about Julian Assange.

Now, we're coming to the close of 2019. Another year closes, another decade closes. I don't want to hear the decade doesn't close. until 2020 is over. No, sorry. I don't want to hear it. Okay? No.

No, thank you. Thank you. The decade closes now. So I was looking through, and everybody's got predictions about what's going to happen in the future, and I'm hoping to talk to some people tomorrow on Pet Pile Friday,

phone Friday, have some of you call in and talk a little bit about what you see for the future and, you know, how this year is gone for you. So let's, you know, hoping to make that happen tomorrow at 2 o'clock Eastern. 888-903.33. I'll tweet out the info. Yeah, I'll tweet it out today.

How about that? I'll take care of it today. That's the kind of guy. All right. So there's all kinds of predictions that were supposed to have happened by 2020, right? There was all kinds of technological advances and revolutionary changes that were supposed to happen

in the year 2020, or you know, by the year 2020. So according to this list, human feet will become just one big toe. The Royal College of Surgeons in England in 1911 claimed that by 2020 that would happen. Okay. number two on the list of things that we were supposed to have happened by the year 2020

we'll have apes as chauffeurs no the RAND Corporation a global think tank has said that they expect us to have animal employees by the year 2020 okay number three that we were supposed to have happened by the year 2020 will live in flying houses. Uh, no, no, that will not, uh, it hasn't happened. It hasn't happened. Now, you may say that, uh, you know, the, our jets and airplanes are flying houses,

but that's not quite what they bet. Number four coming in at what was supposed to happen by the year 2020. Our houses will be cleaned by hoses. Is that hoses or hose? Wait a minute. No, because that might a prediction may be true, actually. No, it's hoses. I just don't make sure I read that right.

Apparently we were supposed to have our houses cleaned by horses after the water was run down a drain in the middle of the floor. I mean, I guess you could build your house like that? Tile and drain and hose it down. Okay. Number five. That was supposed to have happened by the year 2020. This actually, I think, has happened, right? We'll eat candy made of underwear.

I mean, we do have edible underwear. That is true, right? In a popular mechanics article, they predicted that all food would be delivered to our homes in the form of frozen bricks by the 21st century. I mean, that's kind of close. I have freezers. We put stuff in the freezers.

We buy stuff to put it in the freezer. Cooking is an art only in the memory in the minds of old people. Few diehards still broil a chicken or roast a leg of lamb, but the experts have developed ways of deep freezing partially baked cuts of meat. And thanks to advances in culinary technology, Kevin predicted it would be even possible to take ordinary objects like old table linens and rayon underwear and bring them to chemical factories to be converted into candy. These are just crazy.

old men coming up with predictions. Yeah, you know, I really, we just bring your dirty underwear and we'll make it into candy. I don't know. Just think of something crazy. So it's not really edible underwear that, you know, they were so that was not wrong. Number six of something that was supposed to have happened

by the year 2020. Almost back to the flying houses. We'll have personal helicopters. I mean, do we have? Oh, it's kind of true. They're on their way. You can you can get one for like a quarter million right now, but you've got to assemble it yourself. And by the time you assemble it yourself,

you're going to be assembling it again once it hits the land after you take off. I mean, good luck. Good luck with that. Number seven, things that were supposed to have happened by the year 2020. C, X, and Q will not be part of the alphabet.

that. I mean, do we even use those letters anymore? Do we even use them? Do we even use the letter C, X, and Q anymore? Well, considering my name is Christian Bustler and I spell it the right way, not like Cruz, I'm thinking that we still do use the letter C. Well, just for a helpful every cruise is spelled begins with a C so yeah yeah but he doesn't spell his first name the right way he uses a K for Christian

I mean who does that number eight of things that were supposed to have happened in the year 2020 we will have both telepathy and teleportation oh no gosh darn it no I'm all for

a teleportation though I am a fan of that I want to do that If I don't have to move, I have a fan. Can we go there? Yes, let's just go there. We're there. I want that bad. And then you can time travel.

Now we're getting into time travel. There's some great time travelers out there that have traveled. Don't look at me like that. There's some great time travelers out there. They've been to the future and they know what it's going to be like. And if you haven't seen those videos, we're going to break a couple down. I broke one down not long ago on Facebook. and I'm going to have to start breaking some more down

because they're really, really good and they're worth breaking down to catch exactly where they went in the future and what they saw and what's going on. Founder of the Mobile Institute, expert in technology, said that pending nanomobility era, I predict telepathia and teleportation

will become possible by the year 2020, both commonplace by 2040. We believe it when we see it. Yeah, yeah, we will believe it when we see it. Because we haven't seen it. That's part of the problem. Number nine of something that was to happen by the year 2020. All roads will become tubes.

I mean, Elon Musk is trying to make that happen. Elon Musk is trying to make that happen. Now, okay, so he's only got one road and it's underground in L.A. And it's not really happening yet. But he is trying to make it happen. I mean, I'm for roads becoming bank tubes. Just put me in and shoot. If I can't just go into a little box and just go somewhere that has the same matching box.

See, that's a problem too. If you don't have the same matching box and I want to go somewhere and I push the button and then I realize, oh, they didn't have the same matching box. Then where you're at? You just particles in space. Now you're just lost. What happened to dad? I don't know.

He's just gone. all roads becoming tubes I I'm a no no I mean it hasn't sure it hasn't happened but I like the idea of it

Popular mechanics in 1957 article predicted that every road in street in America will be replaced by a network of pneumatic tubes

your car would only need enough power to get you from your home to the nearest tube sorry that has not happened Number 10 of things that we're supposed to have happened by the year 2020. Nobody will work and everybody will be rich. Yay!

Oh, wait. Oh, no. No, oh, no. Man, I wish that would have come true. In 1966, Time Magazine, and who doesn't love Time Magazine, reported that the 21st century would be a pretty awesome economic era for just about everybody. In an essay called The Futurists, they predicted that, machines will be producing so much that everyone in the U.S. will be independently wealthy without

even lifting a finger. The average non-working family could expect to earn an average salary of between $30,000 and $40,000 according to time. In 1966, that would be about $300,000 in today's money. Good luck, God bless, because that is not happen at all. Sorry to disappoint you. Number 11 in the things that we're supposed to have happened by the year 2020. Mail will be sent via rocket. Wait, that doesn't happen? A Navy submarine, the USS Barbaro, sent 3,000 letters all addressed to political figures

like President Dwight D. Eisenhower using only a rocket. The nuclear warhead was taken out and replaced with mail containers, and the missile was launched toward the naval line. auxiliary air station. The mail, according to this, was successfully delivered, and the Postmaster General was so excited by the historic significance that it would become commonplace

in the next century. Oh, man. Do I need to be in charge of the Postal Service? Desperately, do I need to be in charge of the Postal Service? I mean, there's another big lawsuit going on now against the Postal Service that, what the heck,

there was something about being too political yeah the lawsuit says that I'm sorry it alleges that regulation preventing religious content on personalized stamps is unconstitutional

I need to be in charge of the postal service that's what needs to happen that needs to happen I'm a little disappointed that I have not on the board of governors as we speak I don't want to be the postmaster general anymore I want to be on the board of governors number 12 of things that we're supposed to have happened by the year

20 will finally make it to Mars. I mean, that's kind of a, that's true. All right, that's come true. Now, I'm sure that they're talking about as we go on with, I'm sure they're talking about it. There'll be, you know, there's going to be subdivisions on Mars and everybody's going to be driving around, live and large. We go four astronauts touchdown on a beam their images back to 11 billion people.

See Peter Swartz in 2020. Humans arrive. You know, we've been there. we've been to Mars this has this actually happened then i mean we this is not something that was just a dream we've we're on mars man thank you thank you we're there now we aren't living you know we don't subdivisions and we're not we're not sending we're not we don't have you can't hop on a rocket and go to mars and be there tomorrow but we have been to mars number 13 this i think is true too women will be built like wrestlers.

I mean, that's true. Thank you. You better give me the correct dot. Dorothy Rowe revealed some shocking predictions of what life on earth would be like in the 21st century, according to Smithsonian magazine. Among her other forecasts were that women of tomorrow would be more than six feet tall

and would wear a size 11 shoe, have shoulders like a wrestler and muscles like a truck driver. She's right. she's right what she foresaw what she didn't realize is that she foresaw the trans movement she didn't first she was looking into the future and saying oh they're going to look just like men no they they are men but i mean it's true that's happened number 14 things that we're supposed to have happened in the year 2020 we'll wear antenna hats and disposable socks no no that's happened we throw it

You don't throw your socks away? I mean, how many times when you're a single person? I mean, who washes underwear and socks? You throw them away, you go to Walmart, you buy a new set. Duh, that's what you do. Right? Everyone, who among us? Doesn't done that.

Number 15 are the things that, and the antennas. I mean, we're supposed to wear antenna hats. I mean, that's a cell phone. And I personally believe, I've told you. I've told you before that I think that what we need to do is we're going to evolve into just wearing the helmets, like the space helmets or the motorcycle helmets. We're going to evolve and just wearing those. That's what's going to be.

That's going to be your cell phone. That's going to be your computer. That's going to be your life. That's going to be your communication. The screen is the glass in front of you. Now you can open up the glass and look into the real world, you know, as long as you're living on the planet Earth. But if you're on another planet, no, or it'll be sucked to death. but close the screen,

you're going to have access to all the information on your screen, calling, faces of people you're talking to, information, it's going to, I'm telling you. And the pictures of the future of spacemen, the one-eyed spacemen, that's just all of us wearing helmets. That's a Jeff Fisher prediction right there.

I'm not giving you a year of when that's going to happen, but I'm telling you that's a Jeff Fisher prediction. I believe that that's going to happen. Number 15 of things that were supposed to happen by the year 2020. Everything, even baby cradles, will be made out of steel. Yeah. Wait. You can still, I mean, you can't make everything out of steel.

We just choose not to because it's too expensive. And we're just going to make things out of petro technology and be happy with it, damn it. Number 16. The things that we're supposed to have happened by 2020. And this is actually something that's almost here. and it is actually available. We just don't do it. We'll be able to vote electronically from home.

I mean, we can't do that. We just choose not to. And I think that we actually, you know, if they could get the security systems down, good luck with that. That we should be able to do that. I should be able to just text my vote in like I do on, you know,

America's got talent and I'm good. Dancing with the Stars. I'm in. I text, you know, 5,55, Trump. I'm in. All right. You want Trump? to be president.

Text 555. Oh, right, right, right, right. I got it. I'm sorry. But this part of what was going to happen in 2020, it's not, I wasn't trying to get too political. I may have gone a little bit

deeper than possible. Number 17 of things that were supposed to happen by the year 2020. Everyone will stop drinking coffee and tea. Ooh, no, that's a long way off. I mean, coffee and tea is you know, everyone is drinking coffee and tea.

According to Tesla, Nikola Tesla, within a century coffee and tea, tobacco will be no longer in vogue. The abolition of stimulants will not come out forcibly. It will simply be no longer fashionable to poison the system with harmful ingredients. You know, he's kind of right there. It's, you know, not really fashionable, but people don't care. What Tesla didn't realize is people could give a flying crap, okay? You don't like me smoking? Tough.

I'll go stand outside then, damn it. You can tell me not to smoke inside, but I'm still going to go outside and smoke. Number 19 of things that we're supposed to have happened by the year 2020. Everyone will be a vegetarian. Oh, yeah, no. So sorry. So sorry. Number, where was that?

Number 19, number 20 of things that were supposed to. to have happened by the year 2020. Eating will no longer be necessary. Oh, darn the luck. No. That is no. Ray Kurzweil

and his singularity is near when humans transcend biology 2005 book said that by the 2020s. Okay, we still have a little time. 2020s. He wasn't exact as the year 2020. That there will be nanobots capable of entering the bloodstream to feed cells and extract waste.

As a result, they'll render the mode of food consumption, as we know it, obsolete. Actually, you know, we're pretty close to that. We've got nanobots that we're putting in the body for medical and we're putting in our system. He's not too far off on that. But it's not broke. Why do we need to fix it? We've already got our own nanobots inside our bodies. Why do we need to put artificial ones in?

Why? Just why? Plus we get to eat. Kristen Bustler is deeply riveting take on Ray Kurzweil's singularity is near book on what he thought what the future would behold. Let me say, I'll repeat what Christian said just in case you didn't realize what he said. Why? Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts.

All right, so there's still a couple more on the list of things that were supposed to happen by 2020. You know, we ended the last segment with at 20. But number 21, things that we're supposed to have happened by 2020, we'll have robots as therapists. I mean, no, but I mean, we're getting there kind of like. 22, vacuums will be nuclear powered. Not even close. As opposed to being nuclear power.

Not even close. There's no such thing as nuclear. I know, there's nuclear. There's nuclear power. They were going to do vacuums under nuclear power. I got to do it on myself now. I just went political. I got to do it on myself.

Number 23 on the list, there will be no need for futurists to predict the future. Uh, no? No? No, we don't need futurists to predict the future. never needed them and we don't need them now. Okay. Push that damn Nobel. The Nobel. What, like a Nobel Prize?

Okay, there's always going to be a need. You know, maybe Christian is right. The word need is such a strong word. There's going to be people who are going to predict the future. And there will be many people who want to hear what those futurists have to predict. but sadly I think now as I say it out loud I'm going to have to agree with Christian there's never a need for futures but if we

you know of chewing the fat here maybe we just become a futurist show and talk about the future no why why why would you do that I kind of like the idea of being a futurist let me give you an example

of chewing the fat futurist just off the top of my head. I predict that before the end of 2020, Robert Redford will pass away. I know, I'm a futurist that's predicting deaths. Apparently, Robert is, you know, at the door of, of dying as it is,

according to all reports. So it's not that far of a prediction to predict that we could lose him. And he's retired now, right? He did his last little movie with What's Her Face? Ugh. And I wanted to retire.

And the movie was like, who was that stupid movie? I have another prediction for the year, this year 2020. The search engine Bing will still suck. Thank you. Yeah, the old man in the gun. That's the old man in a gun.

I thought that was supposed to be his last thing. But if you look at the IMDB page, he's got, he's the executive producer of something called the Mustang. And he's the executive producer. I didn't realize we were going to the Windsor Castle talking to Camilla. I don't realize we were going to go visit Camilla.

I just thought we were talking about Redford's. Maybe that's what the documentary? No, that's the different one. The Mustang is already done. because he's an executive producer of that. Is that what the bus thing is about? As we go behind Windsor Castle. Oh, look, there's Prince Charles and his wife.

But the next one that he's still working on as the executive producer is a documentary. Desert of the Real. What the hell is that? I mean, okay. I'm sticking with my prediction. I am. He's, we're going to, we lost him.

You know, sometime later this year. I mean, it doesn't even say what it is yet, because obviously it's still filming, but I'm sure it's going to be riveting.
