And now, a Blaze Media podcast. So if you like me, spent the weekend packing, getting your things ready to go, and you decided, look, it's the pandemic. We've got protests going on around the globe, actually, and we'll get into a little bit more of that as the show progresses. But you thought, like me, you know what, it's time to get away. remember Forrest Fenn who hid his chest of bullion in the Rocky Mountains. The bullion worth at least a million dollars or more.

He claimed that he hit him out in the Rocky Mountains, and there were pre-Columbian animal figures, gold nuggets, coins, Chinese jade faces, emerald rings, and other exotic items. And he said, go find it. In 2010, 10 years ago, go find it. And he wrote in his autobiography, The Thrill of the Chase, a poem that you were able to read. And he would, you could take that poem and figure out exactly where that chest was buried in the Rocky Mountains. Been out there for 10 years.

And you decided, we're going to go find it. Gosh darn it. Times are tough for everybody. Let's go find our treasure. Wouldn't you know it? Somebody found it. I know. I thought the same thing. What? Yes. He claims someone said him a picture. A man from back east who doesn't want to be recognized sent him a picture. Sent him a picture of the chest saying, I found it. And the chase is over. What? I mean, if true, congratulations. Congratulations to the person who found it. I'm sure they found it because of the poem.

Because when you hear the poem, if you haven't heard the poem before, you could well understand if you had heard it before, you would have taken off to find the treasure, because it's just that easy. As I am gone, alone in there and with my treasures bold, I can keep my secret wear and hint of riches new and old. Begin it where warm waters halt and take it in the canyon down. Not far but too far to walk, put in below the home of Brown. From there it's no place for the meek, the end is ever drawing nigh, there'll be no paddle up your creek,

Just heavy loads and water high. If you've been wise and found the blaze, look quickly down on your quest to cease. But Terry scant with marble gaze, just take the chest and go in peace. So why is it that I must go and leave my trove for all to seek? The answers I already know.

I've done it tired, and now I'm weak. So hear me all and listen good. Your effort will be worth the cold. If you are brave and in the wood, I give you title to the goal. Now, tell me, you hear that. You don't know exactly where that chest is. You know exactly where it is.

And if you didn't, he gave a couple other interviews that gave a couple other clues that said, that's hidden higher than 5,000 feet above sea level. No need to dig up the old outhouses. The treasure is not associated with any structure. It's not in a graveyard. It's not hidden in Idaho or Utah. The treasure is not in a mine. With all with the poem and those clues, who couldn't find it?

It took 10 years. And according to him, someone finally found it. Wow. Good for them. Good for them. Now, he told the person to, then discovered it, how to sell the treasure,

even suggesting, hey, why don't you rehide the treasure? How about no? I spent 10 years trying to find this damn thing. No. No, thank you. I'm cashing it in. It's all mine.

Okay? Now, if you, like me, spent most of the weekend trying to avoid the news, it's very difficult, I know, to avoid it altogether. For me, I mean, it's kind of my job. So, you know, I try to keep up during the weekends, but I consciously make an effort not to look at news for a while. But one must look. One can't look away forever. So when you take a look at what's going on and what kind of shape we're in right now around the country,

I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. I can tell you that we're in a place where the LinkedIn CEO apologized for allowing appalling employee comments. Well, okay, that's good. I can tell you we're in a place that the board member of Reddit stepped down. and said,

you know what, I'm going to pledge a million dollars to the Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights campaign. And, you know, I think that I think that the Reddit board should fill my seat with the black candidate.

That's one of the places we're at in America. I think we're at a place where a soccer player for Los Angeles got fired for, for social media posts his wife made. Not him, but his wife.

I know. I know. I think we're in a place where a man tears down a Black Lives Matter sign and the company he works for fires him. Fires him. The Fairport Brewering Company, to be exact. one of the individuals who took down the sign, gone, have a nice day. Your job is no longer with us.

I think we're in a place where a Utah University football coach said something four or five years ago in a social media post, and he's been suspended, and you can bet the investigation is going on right now. Good luck keeping his job. I think we are in a place where we are in a place. where a police chief has been forced out of his job after praising citizens armed against looters. That's where we're at in America. That's what I looked away from this weekend for as long as I could. By the way, Fisher, we're in a place where Fortnite has delayed the next launch of season three.

And I quote, we're actually aware of the pain our friends, families, team members, players, and communities are experiencing. The team is eager to move Fortnite forward, but we must balance the season three launch with time for the team to focus on themselves, their families, and their community. That's where we're at. That's where it's at.

That's what you missed this weekend as you looked away. You missed. You missed. protests gathering around the world. Paris, London, Berlin, Melbourne, Ottawa, Tokyo, all protesting. George Floyd's death and racism and police brutality. Looting, rioting going on in Brussels. National Guard troops left the U.S. Capitol in line with the President Trump's order.

protesters in England dumped a statue into the harbor while he was a slaver statue don't worry about that we've defaced or torn down other statues all over America all over the world now and some of those monuments

are huge right I mean it's amazing that it explains why you take history away in schools because if you don't know your history, then you can just hate everything. It doesn't matter.

You could just hate it all. Sure that monument was there. Sure that monument was there as the first African American black regiment of the Union Army. All volunteer, by the way,

in the Civil War. It doesn't matter. It's about the Civil War. It's a Civil War. monument. So it's got to be racist. We have to deface it. It doesn't matter. You know, and I don't want to give, not forgive, I don't want to forget, you know, that PlayStation

has decided to postpone the PlayStation 5 event. While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is the time for celebration and for now we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard of course and we're in the place where don't forget we talked last week about the 1619 project a Pulitzer Prize winning project by the way to Hannah Jones uh she slammed the the new York Times op-ed by

Tom Cotton the editorial page editor James Bennett he's resigned because of the column written by Senator Tom Cotton

Now listen Of course Of course we should let his work stand We're not saying ban everything We're just saying

that why does a paper use both-sidedism Right? I mean it is running misinformation. Why would it do that? I don't know, Hannah, why don't you explain to me

how your 1619 project isn't misinformation? Oh, wait, I'm sorry. That was a Pulitzer Prize winning. I'm sorry. I know. I know. Let us not forget, Jeff Fisher, that, you know,

Google has postponed the Android 11 revealing. And I quote, We are excited to tell you about Android 11, but now it's not the time to celebrate. We are postponing the event and beta release. We'll be back with more on Android 11 soon. We're excited to tell you about Andrew 11, but no, not anymore. Now it's not the time. Now is not the time.

Because now we're in a place where nine of the 12 members of the Minneapolis City Council, have vowed to work to end policing as the city currently knows it. They're going to dismantle the police department in Minneapolis, and of course they are. And of course, your congresspeople are all for it. Your congresswoman person, Ilyan Omar, is all for defunding the Minneapolis police. They're a cancer.

Of course they are. And you can see how that cancer works. I saw footage from Minneapolis that you can find on any social media account of what the city looks like. Her district looks beautiful. It's beautiful. The buildings torn down, destroyed, fires, people in the streets. It's great. We're also in a place where we have a police chief who got down on the ground on his stomach for a die-in protest with the people in the crowd because they demanded it.

They demanded it. It's incredible. History is being removed and nobody cares because it's all for the cause. That's what you missed this weekend. It's all for the cause. Black lives matter. And remember, remember, all right? There was one voice in the crowd.

Well, it was just a big sign, really. It wasn't a voice. And the sign read, we said black lives. Matter. Never said only Black Lives Matter. I think there may have been that might have been said. We know all lives matter,

do you? We just need your help with Black Lives Matter. For Black Lives are in danger. Just that one sign in the wilderness. I know. I know. Look.

Just like the mayor of Washington, D.C. told Chris Wallace this weekend that we're busy defending our city from an invasion of U.S. troops. I know. Well, you know, that's why President Trump got rid of him because he didn't want you to feel that way.

And it's time to maybe disband the police department in D.C. too. What do you say? Get rid of it? I know. I think so, too. I think we just disbanded all the police departments. because people will abide by the law. Well, maybe. You know, the law is still going to be there

and the community will still, you know, take care of themselves, just not in the way that you're familiar with. And Fish, I don't want to, you know, if you were asking, hey, what about that pop boy band, BTS, do they have to say about this whole Black Lives Matter?

I was. Oh my gosh. I was just, that was next on my list. I have a quote from them and I'm going to, you're reading my mind. I'm going to play it for you and just dry your ears because this is powerful. Hangul syllable re, hanguel syllable noon, hangu syllable N, Hangul syllable Jong, Hangul syllable Ka, Hangul syllable bio, Hangul syllable A, Hangu syllable ban, Hongul syllable day,

Hangul syllable have, Hangul syllable knee, Hongul syllable. It's riveting. You can't disagree with that. You can't. You can't. Hango syllable, I don't think,

it broke my computer. You know, and if you don't speak whatever language they speak, it says, well, you're a hater. Yeah, you're a hater. You're racist.

But me here at you and the fat, me and Jiffer know what they're saying, and we can translate. I'm going to play in the background and I'll translate for you. Please, please do so. We stand against racial discrimination. We condemn violence. You, I, and we all have the right to be respected.

We stand together. Hashtag, Black Lives. Hold on, Black Lives. I can't figure it out, but he's either Black Lives, Black Lives Matter or Black Lives Matters. I don't know which one it is. Okay, no, I'm pretty sure it's matter. I mean, I know you're talking down to people like they don't understand what they're saying, but it's Black Lives Matter.

Oh, okay. And they've donated $1 million to a group. A million bucks seems pretty cheap for that. Called Army, which stands for adorable. representation MC for youth that's where we're at that's what you missed this weekend

and so much more so much more it's a oh and I'm sorry yeah hold on oh they stopped but I I was reading it's also they suspended

their world tour you know so well now's not the time. It's not the time to celebrate and sing whatever songs they sing. So sorry, BTS Army, sorry kick pop fans.

Yeah. And it has nothing to do with, I don't know, there's no venues open anywhere in the world. Don't bog me down with facts, Jeff Fisher. No, no,

no. We're standing in solidarity with the marches, BLM, and How dare you make it feel that, you know, AT&T Stadium or Ticketmaster or all these ticket plays are not open because COVID-19 and we can't gather more than 10 people? I think we can now in Texas, though. I think some of the stadiums we can get at 25 to 50% of the people into open air stadiums.

But, you know, don't bug me. We stand when is good time to celebrate? Can we celebrate while cops are. killing black people? No, we can't celebrate. No, we cannot. We cannot. We will not have that.

So, and we've heard it. We will not have that. Today, if you didn't miss it today, they want cops to take their guns, put it on their face, and shoot themselves. I know. That is the only way. That is the only way you have, you can pay the toll about the wrongs have been done by those bad cops. And let me ask you a question. Just off the top of my head, since you brought it up about killing yourself.

Will that be enough? Absolutely not. You know what? Oh, okay, because I figured if I put a, if you, if you were to, I don't know, for an example, kill yourself. Okay. Your life is then over, right? So whatever you did is done. Yes.

But you're saying that that won't be enough. It will not be enough, Fisher. I don't know. There's a famous quote that today was quoted a couple of times on a bit. big national radio show, but it was quoted, I don't want to say incorrectly. I do it. It was quoted. It was quoted maybe, you know, pick a word from the first sentence and then pick

a word from the last sentence, and then pick a word from the first sentence and last sentence. You get doubled all together. And then you put it all together. But it's a famous quote out there that I've heard it now being quoted by big radio host, you know, and you always try to claim credit. So I'm going to let you say this quote. And because I can't remember. I don't have time. I don't have social media anymore. I deleted my social media. So I can't go to Twitter and go to the author of this quote. But something about

bending knees to the mob crowd, something like that. Oh, first of all, this was, this was a, I think I know which one you're talking about since it was coined by me and chewing the fat never bend the knee to the rage mob Dana Lash

yeah Jeff you're chewing the fat right yeah Dana Lash so yeah so like that quote you know we've said Dana's got the sure she's got that pin

because she said pretending like that's her quote whatever it's her quote but you know today you know if you if you look at I don't know

I'm gonna throw two names at there pack ground leash program you know, just look at his title for today's show and then I'm listening to Glenn Beck on, you know, his monologues and now listen to this show. Dana, you need to start collecting royalties. That's what I'm saying. Is that really the title of his show?

For Pat Gray, I will read you, Pat Gray's title for today. It can't be. Society kneeling to the mob. Wow, I mean, that's not things. That's not a... Like I said, you pick one word from one sentence, another from another sentence, you make a new sentence, you add a couple of nouns and pronouns. It's the exact quote. It's exactly what it is.

I'm going to head over to the break room and get a drink of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. But as I'm drinking my Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, for those of you wondering, you heard a voice in the opening segment. And, you know, nice you to join us today. You know, a lot of people will say, happy to have you back. Yeah. And to the people that email me, calm the hell down. A lot of people would say that.

You know, calm down. I'm not dead. Jeffrey did not fire me. It's just Jeffrey did not want me on his show for two weeks. And I was like, okay, go do the show by yourself. And whenever you need me again, just pick up a phone, call me, and I will join you. Revisitious history, man. I'm telling you, that is happening everywhere in America, around the world.

It's happening around the world right now. Revisionous history. And that is a perfect example of revisionist history. You know, I will say this. And all the things that we talked about in the first little segment of chewing the fat that's going on around the world and here in the United States, I will say that, and I didn't even mention, you know, that people are pissed at, we talked last week about how they're mad at Zuckerberg at Facebook for not being as editorial proficient. Paratively proficient. Yeah, something like that, we'll say. Being able, you know, wanting people to actually just post what they want to post.

Censor. You're like, you know, old brown shirt. They are, instead of being that, you aren't lying. I mean, his wife's, his wife's little project has written a letter complaining about him. You know, he's not going to be around long. He's not going to be around. They won't allow it. Can we go back to the emails that.

said, yes, we're open. COVID-19 has not shot us down. I am getting sick and tired of getting emails from CEOs about what is happening in America. You are pet smart. I do not need you to comment on what's happened in America. Just sell me the damn chew toy and the dog food. Just like chewy. I don't care why you stand is on racial stuff. Sell me the damn toy. I'm seriously, before I thought the Valvaline emails about, yes, we're open. Come get your oil change. Was annoying.

Now I'm getting more annoying. And I talked about it with my wife and Jeffrey. Maybe you talked about it, your wife, but I don't think so because you're white. So you don't have, you know, a brown person in your house. But whatever whatever my wife is like half brown so go ahead that don't care but does it count no okay The only one that counts is there is your father-in-law and he looks pretty white to me so I need to see blood samples Definitely white there's no doubt about it I need to see blood samples to show me that he's not from America Because that guy is more white than Jeff Fisher

I've never heard him speak Spanish. I've never heard him speak Spanish. And I've had conversations with him. He spoke Spanish like 50 years ago when he said, I do. You're the wife from Ecuador. But here's where I'm at. And maybe this is where you add, Jeffrey. But if you are, don't say it because then you become a racist.

Because I can say it because I'm brown. But I'm to the point. Be careful. I'm to the point that I don't care anymore. This has become another 2020 issue. Well, that's part of the problem. It has become... I mean, I'm not joking.

I mean, that is going... That is part of the problem now, right? It has become a 2020 issue. Whoever supports Black Lives Matter will support Black Lives Matter. Whoever does not support Black Lives Matter, it's not going to support. So right now, it's a fight for the middle. Again, just like 2020. And the people that are in the middle, like I am, are no longer listening to even...

side and just want to be left alone. I don't care. And you're not going to be, you're not going to be able to do it. And I feel that this is going to be the one issue. You're not going to be able to say, I don't care. You have to pick a side. And one side, if you pick it, you can become a criminal. And the other side, if you don't pick it, if you pick the other side, you're going to be dead on the ground because you got kicked in the face because you did not join the other side. I'll let you put who is who. But it's true. pretty from all the videos that I've seen. Well, pre-June 1st, because that's when I deleted my apps.

Pre-June 1st. If you agree with one side, you're a criminal. If you agree with the other side, you get your head kicked in and your teeth knocked out. And I will say this, that if you agree with one side, you may be okay in parentheses. I mean, for those of you watching, you know, live, using the parentheses finger signs on the, 8th of June 2020. You pick one side. You may be okay for a little while, but not forever.

No, and it's so, and again, there's a couple of, I'm not going to say my name because I may have something involving those companies, but companies are changing their logos. I know. And I'm sorry, Jeff Fisher. What is June known for? the month of June is known for what other than being the beginning of summer at summertime it's hurricane season hurricane season that's not it

christabal made landfall by the way now is a hurricane tropical storm but go ahead okay i believe that in 2008 the summer in june it was said by the higher powers that is pride month is lgbcq pride month is lgbcq pride month belongs in June. And that's everywhere now. You can't stop seeing the pride. Have you heard? Because I remember every year on June, all the companies will go full rainbow up your butt and just eat the rainbow.

And here's shove this rainbow up your butt. And here's a rainbow and rainbow up your butt. And just rainbow, rainbow, rainbow, rainbow, rainbow. If I'm gay, I am pissed today. Well, not only. For the whole 30, what is it, is it 30 or 31 days in June? Not only gay. What are you talking about?

Okay, sorry. If I am gay, hold on, no, lesbian, gay, bisexual, I don't know them. Trans. It's the LGBT. Q-A-I-A. Okay. If I'm one of those, I am pissed today. I'm pissed for the next 30 days because the government told me that June is my

months and I just dropped something because I got so passionate about this.

like you, Pat, or Glenn, might be able to answer. Do you think that the riots and looting are being caused by the kids being raised as I deserve a trophy for everything. My answer to that is, yeah, kind of, but really it's probably now we're getting into kids of those kids. Well, yeah, and then we'll also.

No history lessons. Yeah. No history, let alone the kids that are, you know, deserve a trophy for everything. But, you know, there's been no history, no God. And so it means, as we talked about, the history is being erased and they want to remove it. They don't know it. So it doesn't mean anything. to them. That's who your protesters are. I mean, it's just, it's incredible times. It's incredible times

that we live in. No, no question about it. No question about it. There's a lot, there's a lot else going on. I will leave you with this from the break room. I think it was probably my favorite tweet over the weekend from Adam Carolla. And this is his tweet. It's true. We must have an honest dialogue about race. You first. I need my job. Congratulations to Lady Gaga, by the way.

Fastest selling album of 2020, her latest, chromatica. Good for her. She's on the top. We heard from our boys KSI earlier in the broadcast. So they're number two behind Lady Gaga.

but I just have a question. And this is just something just between you and me, all right, just between you and me. And I know that it talks about, you know, Lady Gaga's had problems with depression over the years. And she has talked about, you know, chronic illness, depression. And so she wanted this record to be, you know, an antidote for hard times. But that's good, great.

I love her. I love lady. I love Lady Gaga. Love it. I just have a question. Is she pregnant? I just want to know. I just want to know because the last couple pictures that I've seen of Gaga.

Now maybe, maybe the anti-depression medicine is kicking in. That can make you gain some weight. But. Have you seen pictures of Katie? Perry? I have. Is she pregnant? Oh, she is pregnant.

She's pregnant. Okay, because I was getting scared. She's going to have a long road ahead of her to get back. She has that, what we talk about here in the program. Yes, she does. The Minnesota. Midwestern. Midwestern.

Sorry, Minnesota. Ladies from Minnesota. I want to apologize. But I knew you started with an end. I don't want to just call out Minnesota. Okay. She has the. Midwestern girl look.

Yes, she does. That, you know, we've talked about before here in the program. And it's a hard road back. It is. But she could pull it off. She can't. Absolutely. She can afford the nannies.

She can afford the people to take care of the kids so she can focus just on herself. Yes. So she could get back to it. But right now she's looking at Argos. Well, and I'm very attracted to pregnant women. I am very. attractive. Let that one ride for a little bit. But I was asking a question about Lady Gaga.

I don't want to get into, you know, Katie Perry. Just know that we, that's true about Katie Perry. She does have that Midwestern female character bloodline. And so that means, you know, and that's not a bad thing. I'm just saying that, you know, when you get pregnant, then you're, the female body does things that, you know, protects the baby. and that's what it is by protecting the baby and so it takes work

I need more space after the baby that's all I'm saying that's all I'm saying I also want to tell you about I'll give it to a little couple of coronavirus numbers too I know I know

nobody do we don't even know we care can we stop them can we stop them because I really don't think I feel that if you do coronavirus updates now people are going to say

okay can you give me the cancer updates and can you give me the AIDS updates and can you give me the heart attack updates as well? The answer to that question or those four questions is yes I can. But you know, that's what I know. I don't even think we care anymore. But I will say that one of my favorite stories, one of my favorite stories is Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and or Amazon, you know, a little in the ring, punch it a little bit. I love it. I love when. There was. CEOs just go at each other. There was an author who wrote a book,

the unreported truth about COVID-19 and lockdowns, which then showed a message from Amazon's content review department, and the message stated, your book does not comply with our guidelines. As a result, we're not offering your book for sale. Now, if you and I did that, I guess we reply, we try to fight Amazon a little bit and say, hey, what is this? Is this true? What do I have to do? Whatever the case is, I want to try to sell my book.

That's where people buy books is Amazon. Well, Elon Musk happened to see this. And he was rightfully pissed. And this is not an Elon Musk. This is not an Elon Musk book, by the way. No, no, no, no. This is insane at Jeff Bezos. And then he tweeted, time to break up Amazon. monopolies are wrong now then out of the blue of course out of the blue I mean it was

Amazon took a look at their decision and said oh you know what we're going to reverse our band that was a mistake the algorithms that you know they had in place they were just wrong see and so

they the author Bernerson said credited Musk for Amazon's decision to reverse the ban tweeting thanks to Elon and everyone who helped. Okay, well, Amazon is not having any of that. Oh no.

They said, look, the book was blocked in error. Okay? And the decision to reverse the ban was not as a result of Mr. Musk's tweets. If you believe that, if you believe that,

I got a bridge in Arizona I want to sell you You do? I do I do I have a bridge in Arizona I want to sell you I would give you a great price Yeah

Can I see like the sunset And everything And the tumbleweeds And the cactus Yes Absolutely The mountains Is it an Indian country

Or American country Part of the bridge is in United States The other part of the bridge Is in the Navajo But that's You know That part of the

bridge you get for free. But that's only if you believe that Elon's tweet didn't have anything to do with Amazon's decision to say, you know what, we made a mistake and that was an error and we're going to sell your book now. If you believe that, then you could buy the bridge. You could buy the bridge. No problem. It's all up to you.

Just incredible. Incredible. Why not just say, you know, Elon brought this delight. And we, you know, they can say it was an error. We were wrong. It was an algorithm. It was all fine. And thanks to Elon for bringing it to light.

And you can't say that. If you think about it, you can't really give credit to Elon because I don't know, another company that is owned by Jeff Bezos is trying to win the war of Mars. Yeah, that's true. So are you willing to give Elon Musk this guy? that is already beat you to the punch more credit but I do believe that Elon Musk is correct Amazon does have a monopoly and I believe we learned that during the COVID lockdown when they were literally telling us we cannot buy a

plug for the studios because it wasn't essential yeah we know what's essential you don't. Exactly. And, you know, so look, you can get, you can get whatever you want. You can order it. We're not telling you you can't order it. You're just not going to get it. I mean, that's like, look, we're not shutting down your voice. We're just, we're not saying you can't write the book. And we're not saying that people can't buy your book. We, being the biggest company in the world that sells stuff, just decided we're not going to sell it, though. That's all.

I agree now. I agree with Trump now. I agree with Trump now. Amazon is not paying enough to the post office. I need Amazon to pay more. And look, Amazon is, you know, Bezos is already, he's voiced support for Black Lives Matter.

A customer criticized the company against it with solidarity with the protesters. And they're being sued for the whole warehouse, COVID thing. Why? Maybe you could look into that stuff. Amazon's getting sued and I don't understand it. They tried their best to keep jobs, hire more people and you still want to sue them? Oh yeah. I mean they were mad at the

work conditions prior to, right? You know, they're perceived work conditions that were bad. They were mad before COVID-19. And so, you know, according to them, then it got worse. I haven't read all the fine print on the lawsuit, but I'm pretty sure that's what it boils down to, is that they were mad at how they were being treated before,

and then it, you know, it was perceived to have gotten worse after the COVID-19. So, you know, we're going to sue. And that's the way it goes. And we're going to sue. Look, they're a big company, right? And who cares? They're a big company.

They've got insurance. They've got all the money. Is my lawsuit going to shut them down? No, I want mine. I want mine. I mean, that's the whole point behind, you know, the 1619 project, too, right? Everybody wants theirs. And it's a, you know, it's a symbolic taking.

It's not really taking, and it's not really a crime. It's just a symbolic taking of those shoes, a symbolic taking of those televisions, a symbolic taking of these large box stores and big companies money. It's just symbolic. We want ours. We want our piece because we've been kept down by you for too long. Okay. All right. You know what? When we decide that 42 million African American eligible descendants get reparations and we go with the Robert Johnson plan from BET with the $14.7 trillion reparations plan. So a one-time cash payment,

every single person gets $350,767.67. I just want you to know that I, too, am African-American. I want my reparations money. I want mine too. Okay, so if everybody is getting theirs, I want mine too. Come on with me.

Come on. Let's all get ours. Let's get ours. Let's go this way. Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. I just want to say that it is, it's important that we have a conversation. And people are having those conversations in private all over America. but they're afraid to have those conversations in public before they get torn down and ripped apart in whatever forum there is.

That's why I love the Adam Carolla tweet. We must have an honest dialogue about race. But you first. I need my job. No kidding. When you sit down and say, you know, yeah, I, you know, I, you know, I, I. agree with this, I disagree with that. I think this, I think that.

And if you're not in line step, you're done. You're done. I mean, it's an incredible times we live in, incredible times. Good for Uber Eats, though. They're going to promote black-owned businesses on its app, and they're going to waive delivery fees at those spots for the remainder of the year. That's nice of them. That's nice of them.

That's what I want to do. I want, this is what this has come to now. I want to separate white from black, right? That's where we're at. Are you talking about the company that hasn't seen profits? Now they're going to pay out of their pockets the fees? That's what they say. Okay.

With, if you're a black-owned business. Okay. If you're a black-owned business. So I don't know, Jeffrey. I'm not black. I'm brown. From my perspective, isn't this kind of like resegregation again?

What would you mean separating white from black? Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I think it's what all they're doing is promoting black-owned businesses, Chris. And you will say, I don't know. I know you maybe could quote me or fix my thinking here. Would you say that that is given one leg above another business? Huh.

So if I'm a brown business, which I... No, they're only going to promote black-owned businesses on the app. Okay, that's what I'm saying. And I'm going to waive delivery fees if you order from those businesses. Yeah, but I'm a brown business and I'm selling my Plentanes. And now that, you know, that black business has Plentanes also. And mine are better. Am I going to get promoted because I'm Brown or only that black business?

No, they claim they're going to promote black-owned businesses. Okay. And they're going to waive delivery fees on those spots. So why would I order, first of all, why would I order? plantains to begin with. But why would I order plantains from you and have to pay a delivery fee when I can order it from a black own business? I know maybe because it's better. Uh, you know, maybe you should order from a company that you think is better than another company. Maybe you should do that. Um,

I don't know. I get what Uber. And what happens when I order from you because I think your plantains are better than the plantains coming from the black own business. but the world finds out that I ordered from you and not the black owned business. Oh, you're racist. Right. Even if I paid the fee, I was willing to pay the delivery fee. And you supported a brown business. I was willing to pay, but I didn't support the black owned business.

No, you're racist. Right. And then that's the mindset that we talked about in the second segment is that we're back on the 2020, no, not 20, 2018, sorry. I kept saying 2020. We're back in the 2016 mindset of you got one. Is it 2016? Is the 2018?

Is it 2020? Where the hell you are you at? I don't know. Is this quarantine hack got me all flipped out? But whenever the president Trump was trying to get elected and in one, the 2016 election is where you got one side stuck in their views, other side stuck in their views. Now we're playing for the middle. But the middle does not want to play along publicly. No.

Publicly. publicly they do not want to play along but privately both sides both sides will argue that those are the people that are either that want you know that are on one side or the other they just don't want to admit it

so if they're on one side they're part of the systemic racist world or if they're on their other side they don't want you to know that they're part of it's just I can't take it. I honestly don't believe and maybe this is naive of me but again this is coming from a brown person that is not from this country i was not born here even though i was born in a territory oh oh we know oh we know

okay my friend but i honestly and again this could be me naively thinking and if you have a problem with this email jeffy at chewing the fat at the blaze dot com um but i don't think in america jeffes Fisher, I don't think in America, there are laws and there is powers at B that say, if you're black, you cannot be a CEO. If you're black, you cannot own a business. If you are black, you cannot succeed. I honestly don't think that is out there. I would like to say that I agree with you, but I can't because of, I'm not brown or black,

or I'm just a white guy. I would like to say that I believe that if you are smart enough, have worked hard enough, have invested your time and energy into something enough that you will succeed. There are plenty of examples of that happening. In fact, there are plenty of examples of that happening, and now they want to say that they're for giving things to people because they believe that it doesn't happen. and yet it happened for them. It really is confusing to me.

So I would like to say that I believe you. But sorry, my friend. And I'm sorry. And I know the algorithm I'm working with tells me you're wrong. And I know who you're talking about. And Jeffrey, this is just like when we talk about taxes and the wealthy not pain enough, what is stopping all these people that believe. that we should pay reparations, that what is stopping them from going out there into these

neighborhoods and opening up their wallets and saying, hey, you know what? Last year I made a billion dollars. I'm going to give to you. What is stopping them? Because if you believe what you just said, that we need to give them a trillion dollars, that's how much it will take, a trillion dollars to pay reparations. to pay reparations and it's about 300,000 per black person that qualifies for this. 350,000.

Oh, sorry. That was 14.7 trillion. I pocketed. I pocketed some in my pocket. I apologize. That's a brown in me that said, you know, I'm giving you 300. I'm pocketing in the rest. I want to apologize for that.

As you see, it came out out of me involuntarily. But if you really think that way and you're a wealthy black person, Why aren't you or white person? Because I'm getting stupid emails from CEOs telling me that they do not stand for all this stuff. So what is stopping you from going and all you idiots that donated to the stupid bail fund all these people from riots? Looking at all you stupid actors and celebrities from Hollywood. Looking at all of you. What is stopping you from literally going downtown to whatever?

All these riots are happening. and saying, okay, how much would it take you to shut up? Here you go. And don't say it like that because you might get punched in the face. How much would it take you to go away and do it? Because guess what? Just like Dana Lash quote is never enough. Well, it never bend the knee to the rage mob.

That's my quote. Well, look, that's the whole thing. Look, it's never enough. It will never be enough. It's never enough. That is a Jeff Fisher quote. it's never enough. It's not ever going to be enough.

You can bend the knee. You can bow down. You can participate in the die-in. You can say that you hate the police. You can say that, yes, we should shut down police departments. Yes, I believe you. Yes, it's all horrible. Unless you're one of them, it's never enough.

You know, and you say that it's never enough. your quote, but I want to go back to, you know, thousands of years ago under the Ten Commandments. Don't bother me down. And, you know, the last commandment. I could be, you know, translating this run because I'm reading it from the Hebrew.

And, you know, it says, thou shall not covet. So, really? When you say, what's your quote again? It's never enough. God. You know, I got to say, I'd never seen that pin to his top of his Twitter account. Or hers, or it's, or whatever it is.

But, you know, if he wants to, if he, she, that's LGBT, it's Pride Month. You know, if God wants to take credit for it, whatever, go ahead, you know, whatever. Whatever. Who am I? Yeah.
