And now a Blaze Media podcast.
Hello.
How are you?
Good, good.
I am so glad to hear it.
You know you responded.
So earlier this week or last week, we talked.
about the hackers that hacked the attorney for the A-listers and said that they were going to
hold the material for $21 million.
Otherwise, they were going to release all this material on the people that these attorneys
represent like Lady Gaga, Madonna, Mariah Carey, YouTube, Bruce Springsteen.
Priyanka Chopra, Bet Milder,
the original one mentioned Elton John too.
Maybe Elton had his stuff saved.
But no.
They have decided that, you know what,
since we haven't gotten our money from this attorney group,
we're going to up the ransom.
We want $42 million.
We're going to give you another week.
We're going to give you another week,
but we want $42 million.
And to prove we're serious,
to prove we're serious, okay?
We know that you're saying that you're not going to deal with us.
We know that you've talked to the FBI and stated that the hack is considered an active international terrorism
and that we don't negotiate with terrorists.
We know that.
Okay?
We know that.
And so do you.
We have 756 gigabytes of confidential documents.
And, you know, 756 gigabytes, you all know that's just, I mean, huge, right?
So they don't want $21 million.
They're giving you one more week.
They want $42 million.
And to just make it a little bit better, we also want you to know that we have information, dirty laundry, on President Donald Trump.
So now, not only are you just attacking the United States in international terrorism,
you're attacking the president of the United States.
So I don't know.
I say, I'm kind of keeping my fingers crossed that we get the information.
I'd like to see what information the attorneys have on all these people.
But I have a feeling.
And this is just a thought.
There's a thought of my part that the government and Donald Trump isn't going to let that happen.
So when you hear that there was an explosion in some foreign,
land where a building exploded and there were three people in dark sweatshirts accidentally found
dead know that that's probably the hackers from i'm guessing they call themselves revile if they don't
call themselves revile they should it's r e large capital letters r e small case v iL so reveal
revile i like revile better so good luck
revile. Good luck.
Or,
Reval.
Or Reval? Could be Reval.
Could be Reval.
Or could be our evil.
Could be our evil.
Could be our
evil. They're pirates.
Right. Ar evil.
Yes. I like that. I still like revile.
So today,
this very day
80 years ago,
the very first
McDonald's opened its doors.
And yay!
Yay!
Now, McDonald's is claiming they're getting ready to reopen.
As far as I know, the McDonald's in my neck of the woods have been open.
I mean, I see that drive-thru back up at McDonald's.
The drive-thru at Chick-fil-A in my neck of the woods is always busy.
Always. It's amazing to me.
So they say they're claiming to reopen, but they're making major changes according to their internal document.
Okay.
Well, what are some of the changes that they're going to make?
Cleaning the bathrooms every 30 minutes.
That seems like something we should be doing anyway at McDonald's.
Enforced social distancing in restaurants.
Ooh, that's going to be tough at McDonald's.
either close public soda fountains or deploy a staff member to monitor them.
Wait.
What?
And as you can hear, the jets are flying over.
Maybe they're after revile.
I mean, they're out looking for the terrorists right now.
So at McDonald's, and they're going to use foot pulls for bathroom doors so customers can open them without using their hands.
I like that idea no matter what.
Workers need to wear masks and gloves.
I'm kind of okay with that as well.
Restaurants need to make face shields available for customers in areas required by law.
Okay.
What areas are required by law that I have to wear a face shield in McDonald's?
I want to know that law
because I have not aware of that law
there's a law
according to them restaurants need to make
face shields available
for customers in areas
required by law
okay I'd like to see that law
please
so
congratulations McDonald's
happy birthday
so
what
criteria are you using
to say that today was
the first McDonald's open?
A note from one of my news emails?
What are you talking about?
Okay, because the first McDonald's open on April 15,
1955 at 400 North Lee Street in Illinois,
near Chicago.
Okay.
Today is May 15.
Okay.
So how is today the first McDonald's restaurant open when it's May 15?
And according to McDonald's.com,
their first restaurant opened in April 15.
Okay, well, it's the 15th.
I mean, my gosh.
What do you?
I mean, I don't know what you're,
I don't know,
we must be looking at a different calendar or something.
I'm confused.
It's the 15th.
Those of you listening live,
it's the 15th of the month.
Yes, I'll give you that.
Okay.
Today is 15.
Zip it.
Good news coming from Facebook.
They have not done enough to make us feel safe, to make us feel less hurt, and be able to feel less hate on the internet.
Okay?
So they want to erase hateful memes from its platform.
It's offering $100,000, which is, I mean, Zuckerberg,
wears a hundred thousand dollar shoes okay hundred grand i mean maybe we up that price a little bit mark
just a tad but according to the story they are offering one hundred thousand dollars they don't
even have to do that so good for them uh they're in prizes so it doesn't even cash it's just
prizes oh here congratulations you want a fifty dollar pair of shoes on behalf of mark
Zuckerberg, he signed him for you.
So we believe, according to Facebook, that hateful memes project will enable Facebook and
others to do more to keep people safe.
Can you email me at chewing the fat at the blaze.com?
Chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
And let me know.
and I want to know seriously.
No, really seriously.
I want to know how a meme makes you unsafe.
How can getting rid of a meme make you safer?
That's, I want to know that.
I truly want to know that.
So they're direct, they are a direct
or indirect attack on people based on characteristics.
This is what Facebook believes.
I don't even know if I want to read this because it's going to make me mad.
Facebook defines hate speech as a direct or indirect attack on people based on characteristics,
including ethnicity, race, nationality, immigration status, religion,
cast sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or disease.
We define attack as violent or dehumanizing, comparing people to non-human things,
speech statements of inferiority, and calls for exclusion or segregation.
Mocking hate crime is also considered hate speech.
Wow.
Wow.
that encompasses everything.
So I still have the question.
Unless you are a white male Christian,
hate speech does not apply to you.
If you're a white male Christian,
there's no such thing as hate speech towards you.
Okay.
Because.
So now apparently Facebook doesn't have enough money.
doesn't have enough teams,
doesn't have enough programs within itself.
They are asking participants
to create artificial intelligence
that can detect text and images
used together as a hateful meme.
Okay, I really,
the whole thing is maddening,
but why?
Facebook can't do that themselves.
I mean, they can't hire a couple of people inside of Facebook.
They're this worldwide conglomerate.
They're just buying.
There was another story of another company they're buying.
Jippy or Jiffy or whatever the hell their name is.
What is it?
It's Jiffy.
Like I said, Jippy.
Yeah.
Jipi.
What are you?
A Southern?
Yibikai.
Yibikai.
No, that, no, no, it doesn't stop.
See, that could be hateful.
Yeah, you, towards Jiffy.
It's J-I-B-H-Y, right?
That's how they spell it?
G-I.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got it right.
So, J-P-Y.
Could be J-P-I.
J-P-E-P-E-P-E.
What is that?
It's funny because I just saw the story and I just scroll it away
because I was like, I don't care about Facebook.
But it's very interesting that Facebook is doing all the,
things to I don't get it because one we've learned for the past year that they want
regulations against them they want government to regulate them but then at the same
time and at the same time they want to be this come to us and will tell you what is
true and what is not right they just posted their overlord board right we talked about
it like last week yes and by the way you know the blaze gets hit all the time with
like this is false and at the bottom it says an independent contractor like really guys really guys
an independent contractor flagged one of our stories and said and there's no it's absolutely
through and through 100% people looking at it through open eyes absolutely an apple is not
partisan group yes jiffy an apple is an apple and a banana is a banana correct yes we went
through the list on Pat Show.
I guess it was last week
of the people on the board.
And
some of them you
don't know, you'd hear their name
and you go, oh, I don't know who that is.
But I did particularly
like that the one person
that happened, just
I'm sure it's just a coincidence
on the board, was Barack's
girlfriend from the funeral
that used to be the leader
of the leader of the
European country.
It's funny how she just happens to make the board
on Facebook. I wonder if she'll ever have to
fly into, I don't know, the
U.S. to meet
with people over
what is bad and what's not
bad because they'll definitely have to meet with
I don't know people who are producing
shows on, I don't know,
platforms like Netflix.
So you'd hope that maybe the
Obamas or at least Barack would find time.
Right. This is a guy
Have you noticed his Twitter?
It's been very active in the last couple of days.
One was vote.
Another one was about the coronavirus.
And then the latest one was about the Chicago Public Library.
Oh, geez.
Like, and by the way, I know I don't have no,
I don't have no space to speak of hairstyles.
But Michelle, baby, I know you're trying to rock.
the 70s Afro.
Really?
I haven't seen a latest picture of Michelle.
You haven't seen?
Okay.
So,
oh man.
You should go see their latest tweet.
I don't know.
I can't believe that she looks any better than she ever has.
Well, Jeffrey,
she had great arms.
You know,
everybody knows about her great arms.
And it was the,
oh,
man,
I got a look at Michelle with the new look.
It's a good look.
Because,
man,
the way she dresses.
Oh,
is fish.
Model worthy.
Fisher.
We have a first, current first lady is a model, an official model,
and she's so ugly next to Michelle Obama.
Thank you.
So.
Oh, what's good is that she now partners.
Oh, that's where the look is.
That's the look.
Yes.
Yes.
Because, you know, why she's got that new look, because she's partnering with MTV.
Yes.
For the national virtual problem.
We talked about the prom coming up.
It's like this six-hour huge event.
On repeat.
On repeat, by the way.
It's unbelievable.
And the first hour is you're not only, I don't have the story in front of me, but I mean, I remember talking about it.
We talked about it.
If you have, not only are you going to get Barack and Michelle giving you a commencement speech.
Yes.
Also get her special program like an hour.
before the actual event.
Becoming.
Yes.
Oh, it's going to be so good.
Oh, it's riveting.
I know you were trying to find the word.
It's going to be riveting.
You know, she has her fro going.
She looks like when she was back in the 70s in high school smoking pot.
Got the curls going.
She got the curls going.
All I'm going to say is your hair.
Can we fix it?
Whoopi did it.
Whoop is no longer doing the mop.
So, you know, and I know she's trying to.
Drop the mop.
You know, I know she's trying to look like the opera.
Because, you know, you can see a little bit of Oprah in there.
You know, Oprah does rock that fro pretty good.
As you can.
That's definitely a wannabe Oprah look.
Absolutely.
Yes.
That is exactly what it is.
Wow.
And by the way, Facebook, this is not Hay speech.
Oh, oh, wait.
I mean, well, they haven't come up with what it is yet.
Right?
I mean, they know they've defined hate speech, but they don't have an, they don't have any algorithm that can go in and, well, they do, but they don't.
They do, because they do it all the time, right?
But they don't have the specific algorithm that would get rid of the memes.
But you'd think that they'd be able to do that now that they're.
Now that they're buying Jippy, that's what it's for.
That's what it's for.
They're buying Jippy to go in and just start pulling the plug.
If you create a Jip or a Jip E or a Jip I, you are doomed.
You are doomed.
Wow.
Okay.
Good luck.
I mean, these, look, these platforms are starting to, you know, really come to the forefront
and show you what they are.
It's time to pull the plug on them.
And by the way, for four,
$400 million.
Okay.
If I created JIPP.
Yeah, and it looked like the story that I read, if I remember right, they weren't actually
buying their partnering, right?
They were not going in and buying because if they, which I'm sure that they are, but it
looks better on paper to the regulators.
If the, well, we're not buying it.
Well, no, they did.
No, Facebook has agreed to buy JIPI.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Yes.
Which is the most popular platform to share GIFs.
Jips.
Like I said.
Yeah.
Yeah.
but you know oh here's a little bit more they're they're get to keep their own branding it will be
oh see that's what i mean yes so yeah you're right yes so they get to become an integrated part of
facebook instagram platform yeah uh facebook is facing oh yeah they're the company that's why they're
partnering yes is because the regulators are going to say ooh hey uh facebook maybe i don't know
the word monopoly comes to mind on a lot of this stuff what does the game board have anything to do
with we're talking about facebook we're bringing the guy that's why nobody understands what the
government is talking about they keep throwing out this stupid old game board yeah why did what the guy
with the monocle and the top hat what does he have to do anything with this i don't know i don't know i've
never heard facebook say once that i remember pass go me neither me neither
I have heard of them going to jail, though.
Yeah, that is a thought, isn't it?
That is a thought.
Yeah, that is a thought of going to jail.
Funny how that happens.
I mean, Google's under fire now for their...
Apparently, they shut down their diversity inclusion initiative.
But Google says they didn't shut it down.
They just shut down the one thing.
What was it called?
The sojourn.
It was a special entity for their company.
The people who got the boot are so angry, so mad at Google,
that the company's diversity programming sojourn was pulled.
They're so angry, so angry at Google that they spoke with anonymity.
They didn't want to let people know who they were.
Wait, they have M&Ms?
They spoke.
they didn't want people to know who they were, but they're mad.
They're mad.
Are they mad?
Yoya.
Okay.
They are angry.
Angry.
And they are, they want to speak out and tell people how mad they are.
In fact, they're going to do an interview on NBC, but they don't want people to know who they are.
So that's how angry they are.
When you get mad like that, you don't want people to know who you are.
So for those of you listening live today on the 15th of May 2020,
it's the final day for you to get the big discount, the biggest discount ever for
Blaze TV.
So get.
Dot blazTV.com slash Jeffie.
And if they ask you somewhere in there for a
promo code. Use Jeffrey, J-F-F-F-F-Y. But today's the last day. The deal goes away. So if you want to save
money and get Blaze TV, do it the 15th of May, 2020. Just like McDonald's did when they opened
up on the 15th. I just saw a story where now their drones are flying, trying to capture the
Blue Angels and not the Thunderbirds because they went away. And just, just
the Blue Angels. They were flying over Detroit and they've got footage that was from a drone.
I don't think that's a good idea. Flying drones up around the Blue Angels, I mean,
I just shoot you out of the sky. Those guys are fully loaded. I don't know if you know that.
If you ever seen the Blue Angels, you know, they're fully loaded and ready to attack at all
times. So you start, we're going to start shooting drones out of the air. And speaking of Michigan,
I want to congratulate CNN for not knowing where Michigan is. The state of Michigan, even
Chris Cruz, the producer of this program, even Chris Cruz knows that Michigan is not Missouri.
So a while ago, Mountain Dew did their big thing where they, and they didn't even do the full state.
They just thought that, yes, the mitten shape was Michigan, but the upper peninsula belonged to Wisconsin.
And really, I mean, you can make an argument that it at least should be for you yupers out there.
But it's not.
If you live in the Upper Peninsula, you're a Yupor, you're a Michigander, but, you know, you're still part of Michigan.
So even Mountain Dew really made less of a mistake than CNN, who is showing your states with, I forget what the stupid picture was for, COVID-19 states or states that were not reopening or where the, and they had, you know, half a dozen states marked on the map.
And one of them was Missouri, but it was over.
Michigan. And I saw that I'm thinking, I mean, even Chris Cruz, the man who has, you know, I've taught, tried to teach a little geography of the United States throughout the process of this show.
Two years now. Yeah.
Knows. Now, he might not know that it's Michigan, but he does know that that particular space on the map doesn't belong to Missouri.
No, you're right. And those are two states we talk about probably the most in this program.
So when I saw that, I was like, even I know that's not Missouri. Even I, I know that's not Missouri. Even I. I know that's not Missouri. And I was very proud because you, Jeff Fisher, have taught me so well in the past two years about American Geography, aka.
Michigan geography
because again
you could say that this podcast is
pro-Michigan more than
any other podcast out there.
I believe that to be true.
I feel that we could say that comfortably.
Now there are other states on the list.
Absolutely. Florida.
Texas.
Florida is a strong state.
Missouri.
Missouri is strong.
Texas is strong.
Texas, yeah.
A little bit of Arkansas,
but that's because of the mining
of the diamonds.
That's not really four there,
but that's okay.
We'll say it is.
It's beautiful.
It's beautiful.
I give you that.
Yes.
But one thing, CNN, I am so sorry.
And these are the people that say an apple is an apple and a banana is a banana.
A network.
Missouri is Michigan?
And I'm sorry, as a Michiganian, are you going to take that from CNN?
First of all, Missiguanian.
No, Michiganian.
Michigan.
You're not a Michinogian?
You're not Michinogian?
It sounded so good, though.
I don't like the other one.
Anyways, that's a Michigandr.
You get upset, right?
I'm not big being called the Michigan to either.
But that's part of, you know, it's just the way the deal is.
But yes, it's agonizing.
It's weird.
And it's even more, you know what?
Let's set the love we have for Michigan aside and the hatred we have for the
worst state of the Union, Ohio, aside for a little bit.
Let's just look at it as a network, a national cable worldwide network, puts up a map.
And no one looks at that map and says, hey, idiot, that's not Missouri.
Well, not just that.
This is the network that gets upset and we're not going to get political.
But this is the network that get upset when the president says fake news, CNN.
And how upset were they when President Trump talked about Kansas City?
Right.
Kansas City is in two states, Missouri and Kansas.
Yes.
And that had to do with the Super Bowl, right?
Yes.
Idiot. It's not in Kansas. It's Missouri.
And by the way, this went unreported.
No one picked this up.
I was waiting.
I was waiting.
Nobody has picked this up.
That Dr. Ashihaha, director of Harvard Global Health Institute.
Bless you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Did not notice that in next to his...
stupid face, there is Missouri,
aka Michigan, dude.
I know, I know.
But all props to you, Jeff Fisher.
Because of you, I was able to recognize that CNN
made a huge mistake when they put Missouri as Michigan.
I just want to thank you, buddy.
You know, you're welcome.
You know what?
My gosh, you're welcome, all right?
Get off me.
Jesus.
CNN, though, seriously.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
So we also have, we talked yesterday about the New Jersey town that has, they're going to have their social distancing ambassadors.
Yes.
And what's so good is I actually went in and.
Apply?
Into the social distancing ambassador story instead of just joking about what they were going to, you know, that that's what they are.
But what's good about these volunteers.
Right.
And staff members.
So they're going to have like one or two guys in charge of all these
Volunteers.
Volunteers.
Volunteers.
Ugh.
Ech.
The ambassadors are going to be giving out educational material.
Oh my God.
Can we stop educating people?
With the educational is six feet saves.
The six feet saves initiative.
What does that mean?
What does it mean?
It means six feet apart, bro.
What are you talking about?
I thought it meant, you know, bury you six feet under.
That's what I thought.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking that way.
But the coolest thing.
Oh, here you know.
I joke around.
Yes.
I joke around about them getting, being crossing guards.
They do get vests.
All these, all these special little people, these attorneys and judges who all think they have a little bit of power.
It's just like the crossing guards.
They put on their vest and they have power.
So that's why these workers will have special vests.
Yes.
You called that.
You called that as a joke and look at you now.
Absolutely.
Are the little vets going to have stars with numbers?
I hope so.
And each star with each color percent something?
What happens if you've given me a flyer?
Okay.
For your six feet saves initiative.
Okay.
And two days ago you gave me a flyer.
Okay.
And I guess thank you and you kept walking.
And
That's exactly what happens.
Thank you.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow you go to the beach.
And the crossing guard
realizes that.
No.
No.
Social distancing ambassador.
How dare you?
Hey, I gave those people a flyer yesterday
and they're doing the same damn thing today.
Now, do they have the right to shoot you or do they just call a reporter?
You did say this is New Jersey, correct?
And six feet saves.
So if they put a bullet in your head, you're six feet under, six feet saves.
As just, I mean, we are creating.
Call it in to the Blue Angels.
Blue Angels, we've got a couple on First and Maine that are walking too close together.
And they've been warned.
They've already been received a flyer two days ago.
Can you, we need, we need to fly over.
I don't keep those bastards.
tell you that right now. I mean, we are creating a country of Karens. I mean, we are creating a country of Karens. It is amazing. We're going to have the contact tracers, the social distancing ambassadors, call. I mean, we saw the study where people think that they're better at social distancing than their neighbors.
They're talking about most people in the U.S. think that they're better at social distancing than their neighbors.
Oh, that means that what?
That if since they're not as good at it as you, if there's ever a problem, you're reporting them.
They're not as good at it as me.
I tried to tell those people for the last couple weeks.
They need to back away.
But he wouldn't.
He just kept going out to get his.

He reminded me that chewing the fat is also the same as coronavirus task force.
CTF.
And he's claiming that it's not a coincidence.

Worldwide, coronavirus cases, 4,500.
393,3
395
total cases
worldwide as of this recording
306,376
deaths
worldwide. Wow.
In the United States of America,
1,470,688
total cases.
87,7,700,000
7773 total deaths.
And so that's getting pretty close to 90,000 deaths.
I would say we're probably going to make that.
Maybe by the first of next week.
If it happens by Monday, I'll be surprised.
But Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on any hot spot
breakouts of death to the coronavirus, 90,000 deaths.
will be coming really soon.
China, wanting to show
that they are still in the battle
and trying to fight it
and new cases are coming
forward, left and right.
They are still at
their
break number under 90,000.
Right? They don't want to get
to, is it 90,000?
What do with the China numbers? No, it's 83,000.
They don't want to get over 83,000.
They're at 82,933 right now.
All right.
And they have been struggling to get to that 83,000 mark.
They do have new cases in China, though, as of this recording, four.
So you still have people being attested in knowing that they're six.
TSA checkpoint through the turnstiles yesterday.
234,928 people.
I mean, that's a lot.
That's one of,
that's the biggest numbers since the,
since the outbreak,
since the pandemic, since the shutdown, right?
March 25th was 239,000.
Oh, March 22nd.
That's still part of the pandemic.
They had 450.
Well, that was still going down, though.
Okay, so they shut down on what?
the 13th, 14th, 16th, right?
So that last, that next week,
16th was still a little over a million.
17th was under a million.
It kept going down 779,
620, 593, 548,
454, 331, 279, 239,
203.
So that, the 10 days after the shutdown,
it kept going down dramatically every day.
And it didn't break
200,
and broke
200,000 the other day, right?
215.
215 earlier
on the 11th
and it was 215 on one of the other days
too. Yeah, the 8th.
But today, 234.
That's a big number.
We're back. The airlines are back, baby.
And Chris will tell you that
his flight was overbooked.
So the airlines are back.
They need to start opening up a little bit.
How about dust off a plane?
Fog it down. Let's go. Let's get it on the tarmac.
No.
I was at a layover.
Is that what you call it?
Layover?
Yeah.
Okay.
If you flew somewhere and had to wait.
Yeah, layover.
Okay.
Between flights, that's called a layover.
It sounds sexual, so I'll make sure that I was not saying something that was sexual.
So I'm at the...
Did you have sex at the airport?
I did not.
No.
So, anyway, stop.
You're going to derail me, and then I'm not going to get the point.
It's really just delay nothing, but go ahead.
Okay.
All right.
So I stopped.
from Orlando and Austin to pick up some people, aka drop off some people.
Then they said it's going to take one hour to clean the plane so that we can get you guys back on and finish the thing.
Okay, so stop for just a second.
This is coming back.
This is coming back.
Yes.
This is from Orlando.
You're coming back from Orlando to DFW.
Yes.
And we had to make a stop in Austin.
Okay.
So they stopped at Austin, right?
And they said.
And they made everybody.
They made everybody get off?
Everybody gets off the plane.
Holy cow.
For a one hour layover.
So they said it's going to take about an hour to clean the plane
and we'll bring you guys right back and then we'll continue the flight.
Mind you that.
We're like 10 minutes from Austin to DFW.
You go up in the air and you come back down.
Mind you that we did not do a crew change or a pilot change.
It was just to pick up some people that were going to Orlando from Austin
and they were just trying to put it all together.
Anyways, they said one hour, Fisher,
I landed at 9.55 local time.
I boarded the plane 1025.
Wow.
Well, I mean, an hour and a half.
That is...
No, it was just 30 minutes.
It was not an hour and a half.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I landed at 955.
I boarded at...
Two and a half hours.
They made you wait.
No, no.
Right?
You landed it.
I feel like, again, we're still not communicating.
Like, we're talking, but we're not communicating.
Oh, we are.
You landed at 9.55.
Uh-huh.
You had to get off the plane.
Yes.
To clean it for one hour.
Three hours later.
Three hours later.
Are you listening to the same story?
They let you back on the plane?
No, no, because if we're done three hours later.
It took that long to clean it.
Yes.
You know what?
Yes.
It took them that long.
long to clean and they needed a full 30 minutes to clean the plane.
I'm sorry.
One, I did not see no fogging machine.
Two, there's no way you can clean 35 rows of seats in 20 minutes.
Unless all you're doing is spraying everything down.
Then yes, I'll give you that.
But I don't think your cleaning procedures are spray and wipe.
Unless you brought like a whole team of 30 people in there.
there, then yes, you can do that.
Which you know what they're doing.
I mean, the team they have, they've got so many people working on that, working on that
plane, they don't know what to do with it.
I mean, we'll talk a little bit about it as we get into the podcast, but, because I want
to, I want to know where if it was full because they claimed they overbooked it.
I see where Delta now is going to retire the 777 fleets.
What?
They said demand for travel plummets,
and we're just not going to fly the 777s anymore.
I feel that also airlines are taking too much of a precaution
to save the money that they don't have.
Yeah.
I mean, I think we'll get into that on the podcast too,
because I kind of feel like they are,
and that we'll get into it.
And just know, for those of you that were planning,
look, I know people like to plan ahead and go places and do things,
and you know you're coming off the summer and you think you know what sounds like a good place to go let's go to the los angeles county fair i'm sorry
the los angeles county fair that's still happening uh no uh no it's been canceled uh in september it's uh the whole month
of september i mean i'm not sure if they understand that september is is next month
a long way away now i know that europe cancel
October Fest.
Which is in May.
Well, you're right.
And I got it to do it.
It's not October.
October.
Oh, shut out.
Well, it actually goes into October.
Yeah, and that's next month also.
You know, September and October are just next month.
Next thing you know, Santa is going to say Christmas is canceled.
Which you heard first of this very program.
I want to be clear about that.
Santa is going to call and say, due to COVID-19,
The reindeer's can't fly.
There's press it for it.
I don't know if you saw the documentary,
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
Absolutely.
But in that documentary,
Santa cancels Christmas.
So, you're welcome?
It happened before.
It will happen again.

All, let's go into space before we actually talk about, you know,
flying in the environment of earth.
Let's go off Earth for just a little bit.
We found the closest black hole.
We're still talking about space.
We're going to talk about here on Earth.
We found the closest black hole.
It's only a thousand light years away.
All right.
People are concerned that the rock samples
we're bringing back from Mars might bring
alien viruses back to Earth.
Did you see the video
of the
it's the
Haya
USA2 Pogo thing?
I forget what it's called where they went to the
asteroid and they're picking up
pieces of the asteroid and
flinging it back to Earth?
Maybe we not do that.
Maybe we not do that. Okay, it's fine. You did that.
We saw that China had a chunk of their rocket
fall back to Earth.
And I know that everybody is, you know,
93 foot, 20-ton
piece of rocket falls back to Earth.
That's a little dangerous.
I know it landed in the ocean
and they're making a big deal.
It missed hitting New York by 15 minutes.
Well, okay.
15 minutes falling to Earth.
It missed hitting everywhere,
but what it hit by 15 minutes, really, okay?
So just keep an eye out for falling debris from space.
They've found a new super earth out there.
I don't even remember.
Do I have the link for the super earth?
It's got a smaller sun than the U.S.
And I feel like they announced this.
The astronomers, here it is.
Astronomers in New Zealand, University of Canterbury, UC,
discovered the rare super earth.
It's a new planet,
while only a handful of extra solar planets
that have been detected with both sizes and orbits
close to that of Earth.
Well, because I feel like we've found,
in the past couple of years, we've found
planets that are earthy.
So, this one
is about 25,000 light years away.
So it's right there.
It's just a,
Hop, skipping a jump to get there.
No problem.
Don't worry about it.
But today is a very important day.
For those of you listening live, again, the 20th of May,
2020, President Trump is receiving the new Space Force flag.
At the White House today, I think I want a Space Force flag.
I think I want a Space Force flag to hang up.
When is he doing this?
Today.
May 20th?
The White House.
The 15th.
But you just said May 20th.
May 15th, 2020.
Today.
Do not make me make this back because you said May 20th.
And I have the subtitle saying you said May 20th.
So I was on to make sure you said that question.
I don't care what you wrote down.
That's not what I said.
Okay.
CNN.
I may have said it.
I don't know.
I don't remember.
I get bogged down with saying numbers.
You don't have to play it back, Mr. Smart Alec.
I see right there, right there!
You see it right there!
It's possible that it happened.
But it's today at the White House.
He's getting the Space Force flag.
That's the story.
I want a Space Force flag.
We should have one.
We can hang it right next to the chewing the fat flag.
I've got out blowing and hanging in front of the house.
It's a beautiful flag.
Beautiful flag.
A lot of animal stories, too.
gosh. We've got a resident of Florida Panhandle looking up to cleaner. Both saw bears roaming around the neighborhood.
We got a woman mauled by French bulldog. We got giant lizards invading Georgia and Florida.
I don't know if you heard this on Tui of the fat or not, but I told you the animals are taken over.
They're coming back. This pandemic, we've got to get people out of their homes to push the animals back because they're starting to take over.
starting to get dangerous.
We had the lady,
we had the lady in,
uh, that was in Georgia too.
The lady that got eaten by the pack of dogs.
We've got giant lizards in Georgia
coming to take over.
Holy cow.
Um, it's time.
We need to, we need to come back.
We've got the police officers.
Their animals are escaping from the zoos.
It's happening.
Animals are taking over.
The fricry.
Park Zoo in Boston
had an animal escape
and it took a police officer
and no one supports
police officers more than this show
but a Boston police officer
came upon the animal and lured
it back to the zoo
so and if you
want to ask what kind of animal it was I'll tell you
that it was a peacock
and the police officer
started making
a peacock mating
sound and peacock
flew back to the
zoo with the
with the police officer.
All right, let's talk a little travel with Chris Cruz.
I know we got to wrap it up,
but I wanted to talk more about your travel
because it really pisses me off
that they contacted you,
spirit, airline,
that they were overbooked.
So now, not only have we
started to come back
from the worst of the pandemic,
I mean, it's still a nightmare for the airline industry,
but we're starting to come back.
People are starting to think that they could travel
and be safe again with all the safety protocols
that are in place.
But the airlines haven't learned a thing.
They're still overbooking the flights.
What are the world are you doing?
My flight was overbooked.
And once again, since it was overbooked,
there was no middle seat skipped again.
Okay, so everybody's shoulder to shoulder,
elbow the elbow not the butt oh i sent you the audio of what buddy dyer was saying on the cart i don't
know if you were able to hear that remember yesterday yeah yesterday i told you hey i'm going to go to the
airport and record what oh yes yes yes yes they always have somebody speaking to the people yes so i have
that while it loads up i'll continue talking but the one thing that upset me was please please do that
the cleaning don't stop talking whatever you do don't stop talking when you're waiting for buddy dar go ahead
The cleaning was the one thing that bothered me
Because you're very proud of your cleaning
But you say it's going to take your hour
It took you 20 minutes
There's no way you could clean 30-something
Rows in 20 minutes
And then the other thing that bothered me
Are you sure?
Well, let's stop for just a second
Because now you're questioning
The workability of your people
At the airport
I don't know what you have to be racist
Because
Orlando, you're Florida people
This was in
Austin?
Yeah, same thing.
Okay.
But remember on my way
to Orlando, we denied
entry to a lady
because he didn't have a face mask.
And I asked
if they're selling, if there's...
Don't the airport, doesn't the airline,
if they're saying you have to wear one.
They've got to provide one.
Or at least make one available to you.
You've already spent money on an expensive
ticket.
$13.
But you've already spent
hard-earned money on a ticket to fly the island.
You've gone through security.
You've gone through all of this.
And now they're going to say, no, you can't fly because you don't have a mask.
Well, I would be pissed.
And I have to go back to Terminal E to see if this was on the ticket counter because
on my way there, I didn't get to go to the ticket counter because I already had a
ticket.
But my way back here, I have to go to the ticket counter because Miles is a minor and
they cannot let me check in online with a minor, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Well, right under the ticket area, it says guests are required to wear a face mask covering.
Guests without face mat covering will be not permitting the plane.
Should you need a face covering, we can provide one for you for $3 with proceeds going to the American Red Cross.
Yeah, well, that's great.
Thank you for letting the proceeds going to the Red Cross.
Proceeds like, well, we spent $2.98 on these masks.
Two cents are going to the Red Cross.
Appreciate it, Spirit.
But they have that at the counter.
The ticket counter.
Airside.
Airside.
So, come up.
And 80% of the people, maybe more, don't go to airside, really?
No.
You go to airside to go through security.
You don't go to check in.
Especially spirit.
Because nobody wants to pay for the baggage.
Exactly.
So this is the message that Buddy Dyer, the mayor of Orlando, has in the train as you leave
or come to Orlando.
This is an unprecedented challenging time worldwide and here in our city.
As you depart Orlando, we know it's for essential business.
To be with family through these five times or for medical business.
When you arrive at your final destination,
ask you to help stop the spread of COVID-19 by staying in,
practicing physical distancing when it's essential to be around.
Together, our efforts will shut this virus down faster
and help our nation and our world are at the recovery.
Yeah, Jeffie.
Okay.
You know, we got to stop the virus.
So wherever you find the decision is, just stay at home, stop the spread so you can help the country and the world become a better place.
Wow.
And that's what you...
You know.
Thank you.
Unbelievable.
Airlines, it's very frustrating because you want to travel.
But, oh, and by the way, now everybody has...
this three-minute thank-you paragraph that the flight stewardess people read of a positive,
here's a positive message from our company.
Oh my gosh.
It's a produced video?
No, it's a script that they have to read.
And they have to, I mean, they read it after your escape hatch?
No, this is before the plane closes the door.
They have to read this.
and then they close the door
and then they go through their dance and monkey show.
Wow.
Yep.
That is
I can't take any more the thank you
and we're working hard to keep you safe
and we know.
We seriously, don't you know already?
These companies are doing above and beyond
really what they should be doing
or what they, no, that's wrong.
Most of these companies are doing things that they should have been doing in the past to keep their places extra clean.
But because they decided that they didn't need Juan working 50 hours and didn't want to hire Juan and Juanita to work 35 hours each a week,
they decided to just let Juan work 38 hours a week and what he gets done, he gets done, and what he does and he doesn't.
That's the way it is.
and now they're going to have to
it's just like cleaning your bathrooms
okay do they need to be cleaned every 30 minutes
no probably not
but they do need to be cleaned
regularly
not at just oh I forgot to check the bathrooms
I'll go check
they need to be regular
we know you're doing that we got it
we know you are most of the stuff that
all these airlines and all these governor officials are telling us something that we already know jeffey
i know you wash your hands you're coughing to your you know elbow you stay away from you know someone
said it today perfectly at the tsa line and i know we're not supposed to talk to each other because it's supposed to be
six feet apart but it's having a conversation with a couple you can still talk to someone no no no you can't
talk no you can't talk six feet apart means is that part of the deal that's part of the deal if you're
social distance.
You can't talk.
You can't speak.
No, you can't speak to each other.
No, how dare you?
How dare you?
The common mass decides to talk to each other during a pandemic.
Oh, that's right.
You're still wearing a mask.
You can't understand them.
You can't understand it.
Yeah, six feet apart.
Can you hold it?
Can you, hey, I just wanted to talk to him for just a second.
What if you pull it up over your mouth?
When we get back to your conversation, did you attempt to just keep a straw in your mouth on the flight?
I did.
that your mask would be up. I bought me a energy drink and holding it in my hand without drinking it
like every single time. Yeah. I was able to keep my mask off the entire flight. Nice. Yep.
And not really. You're making people sick and you're killing people and all those people on that flight.
They're dead. They're dead now. Yes. They're going to. Thank you, Donald Trump.
Was that your conversation? No. Was that your conversation with the guy the six feet apart?
No.
I think everybody died.
No, my conversation with him was very interesting because I, I kind of like what he said.
He was like, I just don't understand this because aren't these rules, the same rules,
when you go to a hospital and visit a very person that is very sick in ICU,
which is you wear a face mask, you wash your hands, and you practice good hygiene.
And I'm like, yeah, you're really, you're.
right when you go see like a new baby a brand new baby born first thing to tell you did you
wash your hands you know put this suit on and then go see the baby by the way is ridiculous
let's want to pause for just a second people are dropping babies in the middle of a desert and
they've been dropping babies uh in the middle of everywhere worldwide well we see videos i don't know
day one we seen videos fisher of the chinese lady having her groceries and she's
walking on the sidewalk and all of a sudden she drops a baby she picks it back up she picks up the milk
and the egg cartons and she keeps walking now that's a good woman by the way i just want to point that
out that's a good one eggs and milk were not broken that's right that's a good woman she's continuing
her duties absolutely she didn't damage any of the products high-priced goods absolutely
drop the kid pick it up let's go that's a good woman right there absolutely you can't
find women like that everywhere.
You're just saying.
So you also got into a scuffle with an employee.
We have to talk about this and then we have to go.
I know we're yapping forever.
It's Friday.
It's fine.
I don't think people will mind on Friday.
I don't care if they mind, to be honest with you.
That's very rude of you.
We have to pretend.
Yeah, we have to pretend.
That's very rude of you.
All right.
For those of you that care.
Anyway, you're going through the airport.
Yes.
And it's not a TSA person.
No.
it's a it's an actual person that's works for the Orlando airport come to find out it was a
construction contractor yeah so he doesn't work for the airport or the airline but he's a subcontractor
for the well I guess technically kind of works for the airport so he's working for the airport
as a subcontractor to build you know whatever that they're probably building a new wing for
cleaning purposes yes so I was wearing my maga hat
and I was
By the way, people like you
wearing your MAGA hat, just a
you're just looking for a fight.
It's all you're doing when you're wearing your mega hat.
Like I said, I was wearing my MAGA hat
because that's what I like to do when I travel.
I like to wear my MAGA hat.
To let people know that you're a racist bastard,
but go ahead.
And I see this group of five to six guys
coming to get sandwiches too.
I hear and Fisher,
it did not click into the second time.
I hear
I hope you drank
you bleach today
and I was just
okay
you know whatever
I thought he was talking
to the
no to the other guys
somebody else
yeah
the other guys
right
and then
go in
and I'm talking
to my little
and then
they call my name
to pick up my sandwich
and they're right there
and I hear it again
and I was like
wait
that's not towards them
that's towards me
because of the whole
Lysol
you know
cleaner death
I understand
why you did it. And I'm like, I was like, dude, really? Really? And I just walked away. And I was like,
why would you do something? Like what? So you, I mean, really, I mean, the answer should have been. Yep.
Sure did. Yeah, exactly. But like, my point of the whole thing was like, what did you get out of saying that?
Are you trying to rattle me up and get me to fight you? And make himself laugh. I don't know that guy
wearing a maga hat today man if he drank his bleach and then i got him to you know fight me with words
and he got really upset because he's a snowflake he couldn't even he couldn't even have a comeback what it was
so i put it on social media Orlando airport tweets me back and we have a private conversation
and come to find out i thought well first they try to blame it on the airline they were like what
airline did he work for and i was like oh baby
no. It was not an airline
person. He didn't know he was
a subcontractor. I didn't know that
until I just, they were like, what was he
wearing? I said in an orange slash
red vest.
He could have been a social distancing
ambassador for the Orlando
airport with a vest like that.
So come to find out, it's a contractor
for the Orlando airport.
You know, they're working on some stuff.
And they say they're going to talk to
the supervisor. They are going to write a strongly
worded memo. They're going to write a
Strangy.
But I was like, dude, what do you get out of that?
Honestly, what do you get out of it?
Are you trying to...
That's it.
You're trying to get me.
And I'm sorry?
You're right, Fisher.
I do wear the hat for that reason.
I know, it's like my Black Lives Matter shirt that says beer life matters.
And the lady tried to get me to track trash about Donald Trump.
And I didn't.
Because it doesn't say Black Lives Matter.
It says beer lives matter.
You're just seeing it.
I know.
I get it.
I get it. And what he gets out of it is, seriously, he gets out of trying to get a rile out of you.
And if it doesn't work, he gets to go back and drink a beer this afternoon with his buddies after they're done building their new cleaning closet over on Terminal BC-2.
And today, man, I saw this guy bored a plane in his bag I had on.
I told him about, I wanted to just holler out. Hey, you. But we're at the airport.
so I just decided, hey, just drink bleach with that afternoon this morning, and you didn't have a comeback.
Dude, I told you, man.
Screw that, man.
That's what you get out of it.
