Starting point is 00:00:00 And now a Blaze Media podcast. Welcome to it. Fat Pile Friday. Yes. And it is chewing the fat. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. Listen, you should feel safer already and feel more at home and relaxed. Not only are we taking statues down in the Virginias and the Carolinas.
Starting point is 00:00:27 And we've also taken some of those God. awful Robert E. Lee's statues down all over the country, including here in Dallas, by the way. We've taken down another statue. We told you yesterday about them taking down Rizzo in Philadelphia. Well, yesterday they took down the Texas Ranger statue at Love Field. Yes. They took them down in an abundance of caution over concerns about racist history. Now, sure, the Texas Rangers has been at Dallas Lovefield for many, many years. You know, like since the 60s.
Starting point is 00:01:09 And so much is, so much of hate has happened because of the Texas Ranger Jay Banks with the caption, One Riot, One Ranger, who has welcomed travelers at Dallas Love Field forever, well, I mean, now forever, since the 60s.
Starting point is 00:01:27 But because in 1950, he was involved in a horrific act, and I'm actually mean that, to keep black children out of white schools. Now, he was following orders, but he was the face of the resistance to integration in 1957. So everyone else has evolved and changed. Why wouldn't we give him the benefit of the doubt if he were alive,
Starting point is 00:02:01 to have evolved and changed. But thankfully, we've got the statue down so we cannot be reminded of history or anything like it again. A little bit more on the Texas Ranger statue because I find it fascinating that the reason that this has come to light and we now need to take the statue down
Starting point is 00:02:36 is because of a book that's going to be released next week called Cult of Glory, the bold and brutal history of the Texas Rangers. Now, the author Doug Swanson has, you know, said that, hey, it reveals sometimes racist past of the law enforcement agency, including but not limited to episodes of police brutality and racism against blacks and Mexicans in Texas.
Starting point is 00:03:03 which I would say probably true in every police department, if not even in Texas, but around the country. Okay. This was just doing a history lesson on the Texas Rangers. But he wasn't consulted, and they just said, oh, that's horrible. We have to take it down. But the grassroots activist group, and it's the grassroots Dallas activist group, Mothers Against Police Brutality welcomes the removal.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I think it should never have been up in the first place. It's a day late, but I'm grateful that it's coming down. Okay. I mean, it was put up in 1963, you know, before they had to have world iconic views of statues. They would just put statues up, right? and the grassroots activist, mothers against police brutality,
Starting point is 00:04:08 believes that Dallas also still has 30% of the streets in the city named after Confederate soldiers and Confederate generals. So we have a lot of work to do with this city. Oh, okay. Well, we'll just put it in storage then, and we'll forget about the history altogether, okay? There's some more recent history. I mean, people are finding things all over.
Starting point is 00:04:33 People are finding things everywhere. And how do we know about them finding it? Well, sometimes it's a crime, so we hear about it from the police blotter. Other times, it's someone who, you know, finds something and decides to turn it in. The police department in this case said, I think it congratulate the person who alerted us to this. had he not been an honest individual. It could have ended up in the wrong hands. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:04 So a Texas man buys a car at an auction. No problem. Nice car. He was, you know, working on his new car that he got at the auction and poking around and realized, hey, that's a secret compartment in my vehicle. What is in that compartment? Is that cocaine? Is that 74 pounds of cocaine?
Starting point is 00:05:27 I should probably call the Sherryms Department. And he showed them the bundles. Well, actually, he only found 17 bundles the first time. And then he realized, well, I should probably call the police because he got nervous. And so the police came and they brought the dogs, of course, and they found another 17 bundles stuffed in a second hidden compartment. So 34 bundles, estimated street value $850,000. And as I said before, the police department thanked and congratulated him for alerting them to the drugs.
Starting point is 00:06:06 It could have ended up in the wrong hands. Yes, it could have. Yes, it could have. And no one wants to have cocaine ending up in the wrong hand. Now, police found some more stuff in down the Keys, Joshua Moon, driving through the keys on a suspended license. He gets pulled over. And the cop says, hey, is it? Is that pot I smell?
Starting point is 00:06:30 And he says, yeah, I smoked a little bit of pot, you know, before he pulled me over. And, huh, do you have a doctor's note or anything for the marijuana? No. No, I don't have a doctor's note. But you got a suspended license. So, once you get out, we're going to go ahead and search the car. This 20 grams of marijuana and this other bag of hallucinogens. and the drug equipment.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Is that yours, too? Yeah. Yeah, it's mine. Look, it was just for recreational, narcotic use. So, should be fine, right? Look, it was,
Starting point is 00:07:12 look, I had the stuff in my car for New Year's, and it was still in there. I hadn't been using it. I just, you know, it was just for fun. Sorry. Yeah, no, he,
Starting point is 00:07:24 they arrested him. Now they let the girlfriend and the daughter go. which was nice of him. And, you know, I thought I was very nice of him. But he's out on bail now. He just driving around on a suspended license, and now he's in more trouble with his drugs and the paraphernalia,
Starting point is 00:07:49 the hallucinogens. They were all for New Year's Eve party. So don't even worry about it. Okay. Down in New Mexico, they're finding, they found more stuff in a case, a virgin cave at Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico. They believe that they found this pool, which they're calling a,
Starting point is 00:08:13 they went into a virgin cave passage. Now, they believe that this completely pristine body of water has evolved entirely without human presence. kind of cool, right? It's been isolated for hundreds of thousands of years and has never seen the light of day. I'd like to believe that. But, I mean, I think maybe somebody might have feet. I mean, it's 700 feet below the entrance of this one cave.
Starting point is 00:08:48 And it's in the back country of Carlsbad Caverns. Now, the park only covers 46,766 acres. So, I guess according to this, it was discovered back in 1993, but they didn't enter it until last October. So it's one of the 10 longest caves in the world. Okay. Congratulations. I don't know. I know, good, good.
Starting point is 00:09:22 We're still finding things that humans haven't touched and ruined, right? Now, we did have an English man. find a huge horn that was thousands of years old. He's digging in the mud, digging in the mud in England, him and his buddies. Along with his brother, and they're, you know, I guess, you know, almost like mud fishing, right? They're going through them, it's low tide, and they're going along the riverbed looking for whatever they can find that's worth money. and they found this old animal's horn.
Starting point is 00:10:05 And it's an aurox horn that has been extinct. They haven't been roaming in England since the Bronze Age about 5,000 years ago. And it's this huge horn, three, four feet long, probably about, you know, three to five inches in circumference. It's this giant horn. It used to be on these animals and the Orak is kind of like, you know, our domestic cattle, an ancestor of our domestic cattle. But I don't know how much that thing is worth, though, right? Think of that.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Are they going to, they're going to want him to, you know, just donate it. It's such an important piece that you should donate that to the museum. How would I donate it for some cash? be kind of nice. And we're finding stuff all over. We did find out that the protesters, and I use the word protesters in quotation marks, and for those of you watching and listening live on the 5th of June 2020,
Starting point is 00:11:16 you see me using that. Remember the New York Post story. I don't know if we talked about it live on the air or not, but the New York Post story that talked about the Soho riot protest uprising, where the Rolex store had been broken into or looted. And the story was Swipe $2.4 million worth of watches.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Yeah, well, the Rolex store spokesman said, you know, really the store was empty. There weren't any watches in the store. So, you know, windows were broken. And some of the counters were smashed. And the store was kind of, you know, broken up and destroyed a little bit but uh we kind of saw it common that it might happen so uh we
Starting point is 00:12:07 didn't uh we didn't have any watches on the floor so thanks for reporting that though appreciate it wow it's kind of strange that you mean normally you'd think that the not everyone thinks like me i know i know but you'd think that maybe the rolex storm would go yeah you know what 2.4 million worth of watches were on the floor. And, uh, wow. Look at the time. Get it? You know, it's a Rolex store and look at the time.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Oh, yeah, you know, you're laughing. You know you are. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. One of the things you wouldn't be laughing about is this story about, uh, a lady who was escorted off a United Airlines flight by a police officer. Now, in the story, it says that she's an adult film actress.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Okay, I don't know why that's important, but it's in the story. And, you know, I'm sure that we've possibly seen Ellie Knox 28, who is flying with United Airlines from Houston to San Francisco and then on her way back home to her home country. Australia, she claims that she was escorted off the flight because she made a short speech about the George Floyd protest. United says, no, that's not why we escorted her off the plane. We escorted her off the plane because she stood up while the plane was still taxing to
Starting point is 00:13:44 the gate. And heaven forbid you do that. So she, and then they say upon landing, the police were called because she arose. from her seat to make a brief statement, urging her fellow passengers to take action amid the ongoing protest. She said, this isn't my country, I'm Australian. That's where me, had I been on that flight, would have said, well, then why do we care what you think?
Starting point is 00:14:16 But, I guess no one said that. They let her go on. And she said, but I've noticed your democracy being threatened. Again, had I been on that flight, I would have reminded her not being from this country that we're not a democracy. But I wasn't on the flight, and apparently no one said that or it wasn't reported. Do not be complacent, she said. Decide what side of history you'd like to be on. Shut up and sit out.
Starting point is 00:14:50 The seatbelt light's still on. I don't know that anyone said it. But after she was off the plane, she shared her. video on Twitter and oh my gosh you know then you have the you have the mob on both sides deciding whether they like it or not and she added the caption on her Twitter account they're deciding if i'll be allowed to take my next flight to Sydney well she was and uh she complained and begged and then she apologized and said i'm sorry you're right I know.
Starting point is 00:15:28 I know the flight attendants weren't even up yet. I just, you know what? I saw my chance to talk to 300 people and I took it. If I could be at a protest, you know I'd be there with you. But I wanted to use my voice. I didn't want to be silent. And I thought, you know what? This is my chance.
Starting point is 00:15:47 I've got 300 people on an airplane and I'm going to stand up and take my chance. Why does not this happen when I'm on? an airplane. I want little Ellie Knox to stand up when I'm on that airplane. Or someone that I know, someone that I have faith in that would say, then why do I care? We're not a democracy. Sit down. Just to have some fun. It'd be fun taxing and having that happen. But no, but no. Everybody sits nice on my planes. everybody sits nice
Starting point is 00:16:28 kind of sad so Jeffrey Epstein back in the news congratulations are in order and I wanted to give you I wanted to admit something to you here
Starting point is 00:16:39 on chewing the fat today and I you know I don't know that I've ever admitted this before but I'll tell you the story first the compensation fund for Jeffrey Epstein's victims has been approved
Starting point is 00:16:51 with no limit on how much each can get from his 600 $134 million estate, but they must give up their right to sue Jelaine, Jislane, Maxwell, or other co-conspirators. So, okay, so far, 70 women have indicated they want to take part in the compensation scheme and could get millions of dollars each. They're going to put their claim on the $634 million estate.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Maxwell wants some cash from that. she believes that she was promised cash from Jeffrey. So everybody wants their piece of the $634 million estate. Me personally, I mean, if they want to give me a piece of the $634 million, that's fine. I'm telling you what I'm going to tell you now out of just I need to clear my conscience and get it off my chest. but Jeffrey Epstein looked at me funny once too. And I think I need to, I know, I know. At one point I thought he was going to touch me.
Starting point is 00:18:02 And I haven't been able to, I've barely been able to live with myself since. So, you know, if I can be part of the victim's fund, I guess so be it. But, you know, I don't really want very much from the, fun, but, you know, if I have to be there, that's fine. I'll be there. 634 million. That's going to go fast. 70 women plus Maxwell and whoever else is getting their cut.
Starting point is 00:18:35 And the attorney's fees, that's gone. Have a nice day. Goodbye. Wow. That's going to go fast. Did I mention that they have to give up their rights to sue any of the other co-conspirators? so you're going to take what you can get, but you're not going to be able to sue any of the others.
Starting point is 00:18:58 In today's world, doesn't that just go away? I mean, do you have to abide by the things that you signed? Certainly you don't have to abide by your non-disclosure agreements, that's for sure. Jeffrey Epstein's bodyguard, I told you Epstein was on the news. His bodyguard and personal trainer lived on his property as well, traveled with him, said he was one of the people who was closest to Jeffrey for many years. he didn't think Epstein killed himself. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:19:28 He gave an interview to New York Magazine, and he opened up about what he thinks happened in that cell. So if the bodyguard believes that he didn't kill himself, well, so be it then. So be it. I also, I teased earlier this week, that I would go through the black book that Anonymous Reliance, least, and see if there were any names in there that were worthy and there is.
Starting point is 00:20:03 So during the podcast, if you're listening to this show right now and you're not a subscriber to the podcast and you're listening, say, on the Blaze Radio Network, you're not going to hear the names from Epstein's Black Book. You need to be a subscriber to Chewing the Fat. So pick a platform, iTunes, Spotify. iHeart Radio Stitcher subscribe to Chewing the Fat and then you can be alerted
Starting point is 00:20:29 when the shows upload every day and you'll be able to listen to the entire show of Chewing the Fat. You're fortunate enough to be able to listen to Chewing the Fat on Blaze Radio Network. You know, it's a little redacted version of Chewing the Fat. There's always more on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:20:48 So, you know, you need to subscribe. Now, thank you for listening to Blaze Radio Network, but, I mean, be a subscriber. Please. All right, let's go to the break room. I need to drink. Code zero. As long as we're in the break room,
Starting point is 00:21:28 just a reminder to follow me on social media. At Jeffrey JFR on Twitter, Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and Instagram. And I say that going into a couple of stories that are social media related in this segment here in the break room that kind of disturbing a little bit. So we'll go. Let's do a happy story. Powerball jackpot winning tickets sold in West Virginia. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Ticket worth $136.4 million. Now this has 108 million cash option. That's not that big a change. 108 million from 136 million is usually a lot less than that so congratulations if that's true I feel like it's usually
Starting point is 00:22:14 I feel like 136 million your cash payout was usually about 80 75 80 million but 108 million it's not bad but congratulations anyway and the winning ticket was sold at the go mart over there on Stokes Drive in Hinton West Virginia
Starting point is 00:22:34 so that reatt is going to get $100,000 for selling the ticket. Congratulations. Congratulations. I'm happy for you. Now, the next winning lottery numbers will be drawn coming up tomorrow. As a matter of fact, if you're listening live on the 5th of June 2020, and that's only going to be worth $20 million.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Do you play for $20 million? I don't know. I don't know. I do. Speaking of tomorrow, don't forget tomorrow morning, or Saturday morning, June 6th. You're going to have a Sesame Street on CNN with a town hall, and they're going to be addressing racism in a special town hall
Starting point is 00:23:16 tomorrow morning, and boy, that is going to be, that's going to be good. Like I said, this is good news. That's going to be good. More good news. I told you to watch out for Christobal coming. I told you to watch out, and Christobal is on the way. Tropical Depression, Christobal.
Starting point is 00:23:34 it's uh you know moving into the gulf of mexico it's been doing all kinds of rain down there i told you it's coming it's probably going to make landfall sunday nightish sunday-ish louisiana texas we may even you know so the southern states of the united states will be feeling christabal in the next few days as it uh makes its way into the gulf so keep your eyes up in your head and anything else that you should need it You need to keep up, okay? Just make sure you do that because you don't want the hurricane. It is hurricane season, regular season.
Starting point is 00:24:12 You know that. Twitter, speaking of Twitter, as I told you, has suspended a video that a George Floyd tribute video. President Trump's campaign, Twitter account tweeted the George Floyd tribute video. And President Trump retweeted it, along with Trump Jr., retweeting it. Those were taken away because of a copyright violation or even just a possible copyright violation. So Twitter said it was affected by its copyright policy. Now, look, you can still see the video on YouTube? Really?
Starting point is 00:25:00 Yes. Because YouTube has not taken it down. So I'd be interested to know what the copyright violation is. And if it was just reported on Twitter, that doesn't affect, since if no one reported it on YouTube, then they don't have to take it down, I guess. And I'm not sure how that works. But thanks for Twitter for being on top of it,
Starting point is 00:25:24 because you cannot have that. You can't have a tribute video, especially posted by Donald Trump and his son. on their Twitter account? Huh. I mean, I feel safer. I feel safer. I would say in today's world, it is, you need to be careful what you're posting on social media.
Starting point is 00:25:46 We talked about the law and order guy yesterday, getting the boot over posting his stuff on social media. We have the Grant Napier, long-time TV announcer for NBA, Sacramento Kings, fired from his talk radio job. and resigned from the team's broadcast. That's being fired as well. After he tweeted, get this. And I don't know, you know, this is something that is so horrific if you, if the kids are around. Well, you don't have to let them cover up there. I'm going to say it for the kids anyway.
Starting point is 00:26:17 He tweeted, all lives matter. Ha! Right. Exactly. The Bonneville International owner of the radio station that, fired Napier said in a statement the timing of Grant's tweet was particularly insensitive, right? He just, he just, he did it at the wrong time. So there's that.
Starting point is 00:26:49 You know, our law and order guy, it's incredible what Dick Wolf said about, what's his name, Craig Gore. he said that I will not tolerate this conduct especially during our hour of national grief. Oh, okay. All right, Dick, no problem. Good for you. Now, when, according to AP,
Starting point is 00:27:17 they tried to, you know, reach out to Craig and say, hey, Craig, how are you feeling about that? But his lawyer did not respond. So he'll be getting some extra money from the Law and Order group. that can be pretty much for sure. A Denver officer was fired for writing,
Starting point is 00:27:35 Let's Start a Riot as his captioned to an Instagram picture of himself and two fellow officers smiling in riot gear. That might not have been too smart. That might not have been too smart. So, he also posted on that same post. And this was that he deserves, you know, no, I don't want anybody to get fired. He should have been at least, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:57 slapped on the hand. he posted black lives only matter to black people unless they're killed by a white person. Oh, all right. Well, he's without a job. And this is probably the most horrific person to lose a job from posting something on social media. And they're all bad. Believe me, they are all bad. They don't not need to be on social media ever for the rest of their lives.
Starting point is 00:28:23 a principal trombonist from the Austin Symphony Orchestra was let go after a string of Facebook comments, including one in which she said black protesters deserve what they get. Wow! Okay! I don't want to see that person playing a trombone in any symphony in America, maybe even the world. but for sure in America. I don't care if she's a vice principal.
Starting point is 00:28:59 I don't care if she's just sitting third or fourth chair. I don't want to see her playing a trombone in any symphony anywhere. That cannot be. In entertainment news, some people are really upset over there at Quibi. The workers at Quibi, they're getting laid off. I know. I know. Big surprise.
Starting point is 00:29:24 and I still have my 90-day free trial. Coming up to an end here pretty soon, though, so that 90 days has got to be coming up to an end. I got to check out when my 90 days is up because I don't think I'm going to re-up it. I really want to. They had some great shows, but their newer shows are really, I don't know, agonizing.
Starting point is 00:29:49 But, you know, to top that off, They are now, you know, doing a deal with LeBron James production company to do a show on, well, I say a show. It's a documentary on the Houston Astros sign stealing scandal. So that should be good, right? Right. Now, why are people at Quibi Mad? Not because of the LeBron James production company deal to produce. that show, which would be, it's going to be great.
Starting point is 00:30:24 It's going to be great. They are mad because they're getting laid off. And Reese Witherspoon got paid six million bucks to narrate the show Fierce Queens. You know, it makes a little bit of sense. You think, well, Reese, does she worth six million to narrate the show? I don't know. And the show is one of their, now we find out. that the show is one of their least performing shows.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Wow, it's one of their weakest performers. Wow. Big surprise, though. And this is probably just a sign. It probably doesn't mean anything. But her husband, Jim Toth, he's the head of content and acquisition and talent at Quibi. So, you know, it's, you know, coincidence that they would pay her sick.
Starting point is 00:31:22 million dollars to narrate a show. I love the whole idea behind Quibi. And some of their shows were really fun to watch. But, you know, they launched it right at the beginning of the coronavirus, man. And they launched it with people watching it in those in-between moments. That's the way they wanted it. And just there were no in-between. moments guys and nobody was working everybody was home and geoffrey katsenberg uh the head of quibby one of the
Starting point is 00:32:00 founders said he attributes everything that's gone wrong to coronavirus everything of course um he said that uh you know the coronavirus put a halt to those in-between times right when the app was released yes it did and perhaps you should have adapted and overcame a little bit and did a couple of things like we talked about on this very podcast and on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher, that, you know, you should change that up a little bit. And you should have kind of adapted to the coronavirus times. But no, you didn't. So those of us that, you know, binged your shows, your 10-minute shows that, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:42 were an hour and a half or an hour each, sorry, that's the way it goes. There weren't any in-between times. So I just binge the shows. and you, I waited until you released them. You were releasing one a day, releasing an episode a day instead of maybe one a week, something like that to back some people off. You know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:33:03 You did what you thought was, you know, the right thing to do for your app, but it didn't work out so well. And maybe your employees would be less mad if you didn't pay, you know, reach six million from her husband, who's the head of talent and acquisition and production at Quibi. It's just a thought. And did you see, just a side note,
Starting point is 00:33:22 did you see where HBO is starting a new show, Perry Mason? Now, I'm a fan of Perry Mason, have been forever. I love the Earl Stanley Gardner novels. I love the Perry Mason. I love Raymond Burr. You know, I love the whole,
Starting point is 00:33:39 the original Perry Mason, and then he went on to, you know, do the TV miniseries shows. They were great. So this Perry Mason on HBO is, got a new twist to it. It's got John Lithgow. It's got, what's his name?
Starting point is 00:33:56 You know his stupid name is playing Perry Mason. From the Americans, Matthew Rays, Matthew Rays, playing Perry Mason. And he's a private detective. And it's in L.A. Right after the Depression or, you know, they're trying to get, most of the country is still reeling from the Depression. And L.A. is booming. and according to their description,
Starting point is 00:34:24 a kidnapping gone very wrong leads to Mason exposing a fractured city as he uncovers the truth of the crime. I am ready for it. Yes, I am looking forward to it. It just looks really, really good. And that starts at the end of this month, I believe. Yeah, almost the end. of the month, June 21st, which I believe is Father's Day.
Starting point is 00:34:52 And also, June 21st, as a side note, is the anniversary of the tornado hitting my house. So there's that anniversary. We're going to have a party. We are going to have a tornado party on Father's Day. That is for sure. Coronavirus numbers quickly, 6,767,37,376,376. Total coronavirus cases worldwide, 395,238 deaths. Ooh, itching close to that 400,000 death mark.
Starting point is 00:35:34 That may happen over the weekend. Here in the United States, 1,933,527 total cases. 110,565 total deaths here in the United States of America. China inching way past that 83,000. mark at 83,027 with five new cases at the time of this recording. And the TSA checkpoint numbers, 391,882 through the turnstiles yesterday. I mean, we're doing stories about people on airplanes again. So maybe it feels like we've got the airlines coming back.
Starting point is 00:36:19 But a year ago was 2,623,9. 947 people through the turnstile. I mean, it may have been not all people. There may have been some, you know, support animals through there as well. But the number was 2,623,947. It seems like that's a lot more than 391,882. I am not a mathematician. Speaking of numbers, we have 2.5 million jobs added in May that was reported today.
Starting point is 00:36:53 That's incredible. Oh man, I sounded like Donald Trump there for a second. Campbell's reported a 35% increase in U.S. soup sales over the past three months. Duh. You know, soup demand was up 140%. Yeah, no kidding. Everyone has plenty of cans of soup in the pantry, that's for sure. There are some things that did fall, though.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Like Manhattan real estate contracts, they fell by 84%. deals worth $4 million or more are down almost 90%. I would bet that that would be even, I would have bet more than that, but 90% is horrible. And we talked, mentioned yesterday a little bit about delinquent accounts coming to bear. The largest US mall operator has sued the gap for missed rent payments.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Good luck with that. good luck with getting that back. You know what I'm saying? The Simon Property Group? They're saying Gap owes them $66 million for unpaid rent during the pandemic. Ah, okay. Good luck getting that back. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:38:16 And by that, I mean getting paid right now. Of course, the Gap wants to make their payment. They've got the contract and their deals. but nobody's making payments. They had to close. Your malls were closed, Simon Malls, and now you're going to be,
Starting point is 00:38:28 hold the line on rent coming due, hold your tenants accountable. Okay, I mean, really. You're going to, you know, everybody was hurting. I'm surprised that they're being so, intolerant is the word I'm thinking of. That's what, you know, a Simon group,
Starting point is 00:38:48 you know what, you're just becoming, your Simon Property Group, you're intolerant of how hard retailers have had it during the pandemic. You should know because you've had it pretty hard yourself, haven't you? Yes, because your malls were closed. How could stores pay the rent? How did you eat? Just a thought.
Starting point is 00:39:14 I'm just wondering, just wondering out loud. Just wondering out loud there, Simon Group. I mean, I love the gap. You know, you can't get me out of an old Navy or Banana Republic store. But, you know, you'll get your money. You'll get your money.

Starting point is 00:39:45 91 pages in the black book. And I plowed through it. I plowed through it. And I found names that, you know, were names that you would, and I would recognize. Some, maybe not recognize, but you know there somebody in parentheses. And so I go through the 91 pages. And there's probably about 74, 75 names that are fascinating that are in the book. And hey, look, does it mean anything bad?
Starting point is 00:40:21 No. I just find it interesting that they're in the black book of Jeffrey Epstein. And there's plenty of people in this list in the book that I'm not sure who they are. There's plenty of names, last names, that have multiple listings of different people from the family or, you know, that have the same last name. And I know that they were important to his life just because the way they're listed. but does it mean anything to us? Not really. But, I mean, I found Alec Baldwin in his black book.

There's plenty of names, as I said, that you go through that and you go, you know, just by the way they're listed and how they're represented that they mean something.
