And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Hello, welcome to chewing the fat. That's right, chewing the fat. Thank you for listening to this podcast. I want to start today by apologizing. I normally like to, you know, kick off the show with something uplifting and happy, but today I want to kick it off with an apology. Yesterday was World Oceans Day.

and we here at chewing the fat and even in my own personal home area failed to celebrate World Oceans Day and we didn't put up a tree we didn't put up a pool we didn't do we didn't throw a straw we didn't pick up anything in to celebrate World Oceans Day and I want to apologize for that I'll try better next year I did go out late last night and turn out my hose and create a big puddle in my backyard. And, you know, I forgot to take a picture,

but we created our own little ocean and we had a little family celebration. But I don't think that was good enough. So I'm sorry. We did have someone celebrate, though, World Oceans Day. Kathy Sullivan becomes the first woman to go to Challenger Deep. She's been to the International Space Station, and now she's been to Challenger Deep, which is the deepest part, or believed to be, the deepest part of the Earth,

the deepest point in the ocean. If you, I mean, she's been to the Space Station? And then she completed her historic dive yesterday to the Challenger Deep. She's like the first, she's the first woman to reach the Deep. this point. And she's like the eighth person to reach the bottom of Challenger Deep, which is like, I don't want to tell you how far it is. Because you don't know.

Well, I'll just use an example for you, okay? All right. So if you were to put Mount Everest, set Mount Everest into Challenger Deep, you'd still have over a mile to go before you could see it. it would still be under. We have to go down more than a mile to get to the top of Mount Everest if you were to set Mount Everest in the bottom of Challenger Deep. And who is in charge of who is doing this mission? Is it NASA? Is it Noah? Who's doing this? It's just some ESO's company. Okay. Because I just want to point out that that is it's a EYOS expeditions. Okay. I just want to point out they're the racist. I just want to Why?

Isn't she a white woman? Oh, yes. So it doesn't count. So history was not made. Kathy Sullivan? Yeah. So no. It doesn't count.

In today's world, that does not count. Nothing happened. So with her going down to the Challenger Deep and going to the space station and then being one of eight and as a female, no longer qualify to be part of history. Or as I can tell too, uh, I don't know this for a fact. but the names that were given to me of the people who have gone to Challenger Deep and this was going to sound racist so I mean this is this is Chris Cruz talking not Jeff Fisher

they did not sound like they were people of color POCs yeah the first two were Don Walsh and Jacques Picard oh wait I don't know is that the guy from is that is that a real person or a character from a TV show on CBS All Access.

And another person that went to the deep was James Cameron. Wait. Is Titanic going to be filmed on there now? Yeah. Yes. Now, I know you talked about perspective of Mount Everest and you still have another mile to go to, you know, to see the top of that's correct. Is that where the Titanic is?

No. Okay. No, it's not. Titanic's over over the other side. Do you not, I mean, look, this is the globe. For those of you watching live,

I was going to ask you, can you show me in the globe where the Challenger Deep is? Here's the globe. Titanic is over here. What ocean? And it's over here on this side of the globe.

And then the Challenger Deep is over here. My gosh, man. Where's America? Because I need to like, I need like those maps when you go to the mall that say you are here. Yes.

And then you, Okay, so show me where are we? Okay, right here. We're here. If you travel all the way over here, then that's where the challenge of deep is. But you have to go back and come back across. To see a Titanic.

You can keep going the same direction and take the long way and get back to where Titanic. Well, not really, because if you keep going, that way, you're just going to fall off the Earth. How many times do we need to have this conversation that the Earth is flat? So if you keep going that way, you're just going to fall off into the abyss of nothing. You know, this weekend there was a thing on my Facebook page that had, you know,

talked about the possibility of winning this RV, this 2020 Newmar King Air. And I knew that, you know, I shared it because it was funny. And there's, you know, it's probably, it's probably not even a real thing to begin with. But even if it was, there's no chance that, you know, I'm winning this thing. but you shared and liked and whatever, you know, they're saying you could win it. But it got me thinking about, it might be time to get an RV. And do what? It may be time to get an RV.

They are going through the roof. Then I read a story. I find a story that talks about the RV company, Thor Industries, to be specific, they make Airstream and other brands. They reported, they were still profitable, generated positive net cash. from operations throughout the whole thing, throughout the whole lockdown, throughout the whole pandemic going on. And they're saying that, you know, the CEO was talking about that with the work at home evolution, a lot of people are just, you know, home is an RV. They can work wherever they're at in their RV. And I thought, well, okay, well, how much you're going to spend

on one of those bad boys? Because I've seen a bet, I've been to the RV show. a couple of times. And you still don't have an RV? That's weird. So there must be really expensive. Well, the ones that I like are, you know, a little steep. Of course, because you're asking for the, for the, the, the, the bougie RV outdoor living that comes with the robot, everything, auto pilot, the visor tells you what target to destroy. Right.

You got a gunner in the back. There's the travel trailer, which I, you know, I mean, I grew up with one of those things. The expandable trailer, too. I grew up with those. You know, a lot of my family members had those where you go, you know, you pull up and you crank it up and it tops up as a little camper. You pull it behind you as a little trailer. Then you have the fifth wheel, right? Then you got to have a truck to pull it.

And that's the one that you stayed when you went. Yes, and I've stayed in that before. I've had some family members, have a fifth wheel. love the fifth wheels. You know, the one that I stayed in at your wedding a little small, but, you know, we were a little cramp, but okay. Oh, my God. Then you have the travel trailer, which, you know, I mean, you pull behind you, you park and you're gone. You still need something to pull it, though, with, right?

You still got to have a thing. But then you have the motor coaches and the motor home. And those are the ones that come with the vehicle. Yeah, that is. Yeah, they drive them. Yeah, they drive them. That is the vehicle. Some of the motor coaches are more, you know, look like a truck.

and I've seen, I had an uncle that had a camper, you know, at the bed that you put in the back of a pickup truck. He lived out of that for a month on end. I mean, that's how he lived. What do you qualify the politician one? What is that? That's like a motor coach motor home. Okay, okay.

Motor home. Yeah, motor home. So, and I was thinking, well, how much of those bad boys cost? Really? I mean, seriously. $100,000. How much? $100,000.

How much? $100,000. Like, I heard you the first time. I know, I know you did. So I go to a listing, a RVuniverse.com listings to see what, you know,

what people are getting for them, putting them up for sale, seeing what they want for them. So is this like the Craig list of RVs? It's striking the difference in prices. And I'm kind of confused. It must be the amenities, right? because there's a there's one for sale that is a diesel class a motor home okay and they want

a million five all right they want a million five for it but the next one down below is a 2014 motor coach which is similar to a motor home but you know not there's got to be the amenities and it looks nice right it's a it's a got it's a got it's It's only got 59,000 miles on it. It's got two slides, sleeps eight, says it's been kept in the garage, driven to church back and forth by grandma for the last 20 years. No, it doesn't say that. But they only want...

I was going to say that that's very specific. Yeah. They only want 84,000, $84,999, $85,000 for it. Take it. I know. There's got to be like, I must not be able to get wide. Phi in it or something. I'm looking at the one you're talking about and I'm in.

Do you want to spend it? I know. Now that's the thing though. See, when you go to those RV shows, if you go into the one that they want a million five for and then you go into the one that they want $85,000 for, you feel like, well, I'm just living in a dump. I don't even know why I've walked into this vehicle. And you can get some like the next one down.

is 850,000. Okay, that's not bad. That is bad. No, that's not bad. I mean, for... Fisher. Fisher. That's not bad. At the end of the day, this is a vehicle. I know.

That is 45 foot long. And how big is your house that you live right now? Most of our 41 or 45. How big is your house right now? You know, one-bedroom ranch. Okay. Okay. I got to put it in perspective.

Like out of all these, I'm taking that bad boy up there. That's what I'm saying. The $84,000, I'll take it. I know. I feel like that's the one to get, right? Yes. And it's in New Mexico. Which is right there.

It's in Albuquerque, so they've probably been cooking meth in it. Even better. Just do not remove the panels of the wall until you leave New Mexico. Thank you. All right. Let's see what the dump is. Okay, 84-9. Let's see the other pictures of this.

See, that's what I'm saying. it looks for 85,000, that looks like a deal. And by the way, it says 54,000 miles and it's a 2014, that is not bad. I think this is the one that grandma is driving to church. It's got two slides. It's got the canopy over the side for the, you know, it's got the, I want to see the inside. Oh, the inside is not bad. Look at that.

I know. I got to tell you, for 85 grand, that seems worth it. Especially if we go halfsies. Hello? Especially if you go half C's. Something's wrong with your microphone. I don't know. If we go half Cs, you only pay $42,000 and then I pay $42,000 and we just, you know, be like our.

It's a timeshare motor coach. Time share motor coach. Yes. We're using it this weekend. Now, come on. And by the way, why do we have seat belts on the couch? You have to because it's the law. wears them, but you have to.

Okay. If you're driving, you have to have them on. Fine. But is the state trooper looking... If you get pulled over, you tell your kids to put the seatbelt on and you move on. Yes. Right. Yes.

Washer and dryer. Hey, it comes with a washer and dryer. I know. You might be washing... You just got to find a place to park once in a while and dump the... The goo? The goo. The goo.

By the way, you wash it. This washer and dryer looks like... takes like one shirt and one pair of underwear at a time. No, you can actually, that's actually, you know, maybe a, uh, maybe like three pairs of pants and three shirts or something. Ooh, it has a lot. It has an outside TV. The dryer takes a lot.

The dryer is what takes a lot of power. So you got to be willing to hang your clothes up outside when you're stopped. There has to be a catch with this. I know. It says it sleeps eight, left hand drive. I feel like it's just a, it's just a, it's just a, it's just a, it's, It's a dumbed-down model. It's got to be the amenities.

Got to be. Because it does look new. It looks like Grandma drove it back and forth to church. Now, did you click on the $1.5 million one and see what it has inside? Well, I already, I mean, I've been in these bad boys. I love them. And that's the amenities. Look at that.

I mean, it's just beautiful. I feel like a million and a half. You wait a couple years. You get it for 800,000. Because the million and a half is more of a bus, right? That's a motor home. Right, the one we're looking at for $85,000 is a motor coach. Yeah, that's the American one.

That's the one that the average American has once they get like 50. Yeah, the Nashville, well, they call it a coach. That's no way that's a coach. So I'm sorry, it's a bus. Beautiful love. It has a safe. I like that. It's beautiful.

You're right. It's got one, two, three slides. two on one side When that shower has buttons Four slides Yeah Yeah four slides all automatic Yeah you probably in the 85 thousand

You probably got to crank it out Crank it It's not a power Look at this you got the bar inside The bar looks awesome It sure does It looks really nice So I mean

It's the amenities right That's exactly what it is A million five for the amenities And everything's power And you know Easy action access with the motor coach for 85,000, you're cranking the slides open yourself and it's just it's hard work and I mean, like you get the 85,000 one and then you realize what am I doing

and by the way if you can't afford that one you just go for the 1995 provol's ex-l country coach that's only been driven 21,000 miles right 1995 oh but see they last forever that's the thing Right? If you can get one for one of the ones that are, you know, been really big for, you know, like this. Here's one a little bit farther down, a 2017 for $209,000. Yeah, I saw that one, yeah. I mean, what's wrong with this one? Hold on.

I'll sleep saying, adventures in the cost of beer. It's the fate in class. Has a lot to offer, stock number. Oh, it's only 38 feet, though, short. I mean And you gotta go to Cleveland, Texas to go get it I think it was right here Yeah look how short that is

My God you'd be cramped in that thing Wait What Look at it You'd be crampting no matter what The other one It's not a 5 45 footer Look at the inside of that

The other ones are 45 And this was a what? Yeah 38 You can't even move in it Look at that thing That's a dump So I want to thank Sam's Club for finally, finally, coming on board and doing something. They sent me an email yesterday, and this is just an example of where we are at in America today.

To our Sam's Club family, it was with a heavy heart yesterday that they, with the death of George Floyd and many others, his death has come to represent an ongoing turmoil in the communities that Sam served. So as a company, they stand for kind. empathy and respect for the individual. They believe that racism is simply unacceptable. And they know there's no easy answer to systemic racial inequality, but we also know that we must act and be a part of the solution. So they committed on Friday with their parent company Walmart and the Walmart Foundation,

a five-year investment of $100 million. Create a new center for racial equity in America. And those efforts are going to be focused on, the key systems of racial disparity, finance, healthcare, education, and criminal justice. And we know, I mean, they know that it's just the beginning. Now the hard work begins. So let's move forward together. Kathy McLeigh, Chief Executive Officer from Sam's Club.

And boy, Kathy, you set a mouthful there. I appreciate you guys letting me know what you guys are up to. I mean, they're not alone. And we're all getting emails from every company around America that's donating money. And we can give you a list. I can go down the list. I've got links saved the list of all these companies. But everyone is giving money because now is the time.

I mean, we are in a really strange place. Not only, as we talked about even yesterday, not only here in the U.S., but around the world, It is really strange. Now, they make points of telling me that Africa, more than 100 prominent African writers, have signed a statement, condemning the acts of violence on black people in the United States, and demanding justice for any and all racial killings.

And small protests bring up in Nairobi in Cape Town. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. My reply to that is so. it means nothing to you. Okay? But I guess it does. I guess it does. So I'm with you.

I mean, we've had the protests. We talked yesterday, London, Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Budapest. Okay. Asia. In Tokyo, they're protesting. Australia, they're protesting. In the Middle East, we want to breathe too

is spreading on social media in Iraq. Stop it. Come on now. come on really come on they're still beheading people in the middle east and they're going to they're going to tell us come on now no no no i won't i won't have it well i mean they can do it good for them but it shouldn't have anything to do with any of our policies at all and i'll tell you a couple things that they're taking down that are just incredible to me, which means that we don't know our history, which is, I know we talked about this a little bit yesterday, but so today I see where they're taking down a slave auction block in a, you know, so in Fredericksburg, Virginia,

they've had a slave auction block there, an 800 pound slave auction block that's been there for, you know, forever. And it's there as a reminder. but they're taking it out. They're getting out of there. We don't want to be reminded of where African Americans were once displayed and sold as slaves. Pretty sure some white people were displayed there, too, but that's, I know, don't, I won't boggy down with any of the facts. So one of the, one of the chief historians talked about, yeah, there was, you know, I saw people protesting around it and they've painted it and put Black Lives Matter on. And I just thought, you know what, something has to be done because it just needs to be removed from the local part.

you kidding me so i mean we just history is gone have a nice day forget about it that's that's that's just gone all right if that's what you want good for you just remember history will still repeat itself even if you don't know that it was there know what i'm saying Sure we have students at the University of Missouri, Missouri, Mizzou, M-I-Z, my school of choice since my son went there, asking or demanding removal of a Thomas Jefferson statue. Sure, sure we have a Harvard professor that's offering details on his proposed homeschool ban.

Sure, we have other professors talking about the reasoning behind the death of George Floyd as white Christian nationalism. Sure. sure we have all that and sure we have IBM getting out of the facial recognition business and called on Congress to address systemic racism in the United States of America sure we have all that but I just want you to know that when Prince Harry and I know he's still a prince even though he has renounced the throne when he goes back to London back to Windsor within the next

when did I say he'd be out of their end of next year right mid next year yeah the wife and him will be out we're already seeing stories about how he is leaning on his brother he and William are talking William according to these stories

has been advised bro why don't you just come home if you're bummed you're having a hard time adjusting in L.A you've been living he's been living he saw life through his rose-colored glasses. Those are called the glasses that Megan was wearing. He saw life through her glasses,

and now he's so many obstacles are hard. So I guarantee you, guarantee you. He is back home. Just drop something, hold on. Where to go? Oh. Ooh. So if you drop something on the ground,

And then you bend down to pick something up, that something up, and you find a screw that appears to maybe have come from the chair you're sitting in. Is it possible that chair could break it anytime? So if you're rash, it's just perhaps the chair has a weight limit that I'm not aware of. So anyway, I'm just telling you, I was fascinated by this story. So the queen, I guess, has reached out and said, hey, Harry, if you. you're feeling bad. I'm telling you, he is going back home, man.

He realized how good life it was as a prince and not as Harry down the street in L.A. with Megan. That is happening soon. And as long as we're talking about the Royals a little bit, I know that we've had Prince Andrew, all his duties are done, right? He's no more, I mean, he might as well say he's not even a royal anymore

because he doesn't have any jobs anymore. He's done representing. And now he's got still, they're still after him for Jeffrey Epstein. He claims he's tried to help him out. They claim he hasn't. They want to question him. He says he's, he said that I want, I've been after you guys to talk to me forever. You don't need to formally request to talk to me.

I've been trying to help you out with the thing. Okay. All right. Good deal. How's that coming for you? All right. So I'm just telling you, the royals are still in and up people and they need Harry back.

So if William is whispering, you know, the Windsor whisperer, the real Windsor whisperer, William, into Harry's ear, Megan is not going to be able to compete with the bro. She's done so so far. She had him all wrapped up into that Megan rap. but it is going away. I'm sticking to my prediction. I'm sticking to it.

By mid to late next year. Bye-bye. Have a nice day. Now, he may bring Megan back. Maybe, I doubt it, though. But he leaves with the kid. And that'd be a tough one, too. Just take the kid and go back to Windsor.

Good luck, Megan, getting that kid out of there. That'd be fun to wine. All right, let's go to the break room. I need to drink a cold. I'll tell you that. Oh, so good. Remember, you can email us, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. If you would like more information or have a comment about the show,

and voices are being silenced daily. You know, I mean, you tweet something and it's taken the wrong way. Your job's over. Your wife posts something on her Facebook page, but your boss sees it, takes it the wrong way. You're gone. Wait, are you talking about Chris Cuomo naked in the background on his wife doing yoga in the living room?

Yeah. I mean, that's good news. That's a good news piece. Oh, okay. Oh, I thought you were talking about the CW TV star that got fired because of his racist tweets. Did you see that way? Ah, I don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.

That's where we're at. By the way. We're so inclusive. We're so inclusive that we want to come together and have a conversation. but if you say something that I don't like I want you gone. Well, here's the thing. Shut up. Here's the tweet from Hartley Sawyer.

Are we going to have to dump anything? No. Can you say the words? I could say every word. I could say every word. Are you sure? Well, let's you be the judge then. You be the judge.

All right. All right. February 3, 2013 at 4.03 p.m. Okay. with four retweets. What were you doing? What were you doing that day? What were you doing?

2013. 4 p.m. February 3rd. I was probably on a train headed back to Pennsylvania out of New York City. But go ahead. Okay. Super Bowl. Or I was waiting at, or I was waiting at, I could have been waiting at the train station

because you wanted to catch the 415 Express. So I could have been waiting for the train to come in. Super Bowl. America. 80% of the prison population is African American. That's it? That's it. Super Bowl.

America. America. 80% of the prison population is African American. Seems a little disjointed tweet. Was he replying to something? Nope. This is a fresh tweet. This is what he was thinking at 403 on February 3rd, 2013.

Super Bowl America. Echophone. 80. 80% in prison is African America. Wow. So he's being accused of racism and sexism and misogynistic. This one. What?

Yes. This tweet says he tweeted this on... You're going to have to read another one? Another one. And this is it. The first one was terrific. This is the last one. I hate even saying Super Bowl America, 80% of...

What I would say 80% of prisoners are African-American? Of prison population? Prison population. 80% of the prison population is African-American. Yes. Is that right? Yes. That's what he said.

Okay. Now this is one. I've not seen this. I mean, I saw the headline. I didn't read the story. Okay. And I want you to go back to July 2nd, 2012 at 156 p.m. What were you?

Okay. July 2nd, 1-6 p.m. Where were you? 2012. Wow. 2012. Another lifetime ago. This is what he said. And this is from Hartley Sawyer,

the now ex-actor from season seven of Flash. Date rape myself, so I don't have to masturbate. But you would have to if you date raped yourself, right? Oh my gosh. How do you get there from there? how do you get to the hatefulness from there so Super Bowl America 80% of the prison population is African American

okay I mean I guess you're trying to say that February 3rd that's Super Bowl time right I don't know what if February it was 3rd 4th or 5th or whenever the Super Bowl was but I'm sure that's Super Bowl you know celebration time super bowl is in the area Super Bowl is in the atmosphere yeah No question. So the Super Bowl is America, and yet 80% of the prison population is African-American. I don't think these tweets were supposed to be super analyzed like you're doing it. It's Twitter.

It's just something that you say off the cuff. And before we go to break, I just want to leave you with this from Fisher. Maybe you can break the code on this one. It's much easier than the last two. And I say this, and I'm sorry, no, not me, Hartley Sawyer from. The Flash says. How many episodes of The Flash was Hartley's story or in? He was, he started on season four.

Oh, so he built some episodes out of it. Yeah, so he was supposed to be back. So, I mean, my wife, my wife and son are big Flash watchers, so they would know who this guy is. Yes, yes, this is. And I may even know who he is if I sat, because I, I'm forced to watch some of those episodes from time to time. So, okay, all right.

Okay. Because I want to know who he is, but now. bad enough to look them up right now okay that's fine and before we go to break this one and you'd crack this as quick as you can fisher the saddest part about someone committing suicide is that they will never listen to david bowie again wow making fun of people killing themselves i mean and so he got fired for those three tweets no there's more tweets i'll read those to you off air oh those are the ones that i can read without bleeping.

So if we go... Maybe we wait to the podcast section. Okay. You know, the actual podcast of chewing the fat. Because I want to tell you, we have some audio from a meeting in Chicago where Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the city council members and the aldermen, there's 50 of them in Chicago, 50 aldermen in Chicago. And they're having this meeting, you know, over...

Zoom. They're all there. They're all together. And it is very contentious. And I will say that there is some big guy language in it. So if you're listening and you're using the overhead speakers in the living room because you make a dinner, you might want to put your headphones on if you are, you know, if you don't want your kids to hear this kind of language. But it is awesome. By the way, before, you know what? I feel like we could do one more tweet so that, So people can come back for the podcast. Get an idea. Get an idea of what, you know.

And Harley Sawyer tweets this. The only thing stopping me from doing mildly racist tweets is the knowledge that Al Sharpton will never stop complaining about me. I mean, hello. I mean, I can't say that it's true because then I'll be agreeing with them. And I don't want to agree with that hateful tweet. But. And Fisher. I feel like if people listen to you, let's say, in the old days, they may have tweeted this other tweet.

And again, this is from Hartley Sawyer tweeting. Do you know what this was? No, not this one. Okay. If I had a wife, I will beat the hell out of her tonight. L-O-L. And he even L-O-L did. He L-O-L did.

Right at the end. He said L-O-L. Right. It's a joke. Oh my gosh. And that's absolutely something that may have probably was said from me. Absolutely. I don't because when I read it, I was like, wait, is that Jeffrey or Harley Sawyer? Oh no, I'm looking at Harley Sawyer's tweet.

Yeah. I thought it was you that said that. That's absolutely the joke. And he's not even saying he would do it. You'd say it if. And then, by the way, this was the good old days where Twitter was supposed to be where you get that one thought. and instead of actually beating the hell out of your wife. It wasn't just Twitter.

I mean, there were, we were on the radio using jokes like that. Yes. Come on. Again, back in the day, I want to say, I don't know, 2014, 2012, 2012, 2013. And we were probably, that's probably, I don't know about then, but. Well, most of these tweets, most of these. And I don't want to say that I was out in the radio at the 90s or the 80s or the 2000s. Oh, well, definitely.

Well, yes, definitely back in the 80s, 90s. But in the 90s and early, 2000s, absolutely. Yes, 100%. And that was what social media was supposed to be, a place where you're supposed to have fun. You don't take you so seriously. Because, okay, fine.

I'll read one from September 11, 2014 at 532 in the morning. From Hartley. So, whoa, what's the date? September 11th? September 11th. Oh, see. That one, one, my bad day. What's the year?

2014. Yeah, so we're already. We're, you know, we're still, you know, a remembrance day, but go ahead. But it was a 532 in the morning. It's still below. Okay. Remember, stay is already started. Okay.

Out at a dinner and just expose myself as a racist again. I mean, he's admitting it. I don't understand. And so we have one, two, three, four. We have four tweets for the podcast that you do not want to make. miss. Okay, good. Because if they're as hateful as these are, you could well understand how, what's his name again? Hartley Sawyer. Yeah, you can well understand why he's not going to work in Hollywood ever again. So three big coronavirus stories today that are incredible to me. The first one is

that the news from who tells us that a symptomatic coronavirus carriers rarely spread it. What? Are you freaking kidding me? A, tomorrow, it will come out that, oh, no, that was wrong, because we just don't know. Because we shut down an economy. We shut down global economy because of the coronavirus and COVID-19, and social distancing had to happen, and everyone has to wear masks. Oh, no, no, you know what? Everyone doesn't have to wear masks now.

And now they're telling us that the asymptomatic coronavirus carriers rarely spread it. Oh, are you kidding me? Are you freaking kidding me? Then we have the joy of love and togetherness in New Zealand after New Zealand says they have declared their country is free of coronavirus. They are saying that we are going to return to pre-pandemic normality. Normally?

Normality? Yeah. Normally. Yeah, normality. So congratulations to New Zealand. They are free. I mean, it's almost like they are China. I mean, they're just free.

I know China still is showing, you know, couple of cases, new cases a day. But New Zealand is completely free. They say they've eliminated it. They, the public and private events, retail hospitality industries, all the public transport, everything is going to be back up and running. We're done. We killed coronavirus. Good for them. Congratulations. Congratulations, New Zealand. I hope it's true. But if it's true, we get to say it pretty soon too. We get to say it pretty soon. Well, you can only say it if it's true, Jeff. No, I know, I know. And the other story that is just incredible to me is that we talked about this on this very show, that how I felt with some of the other stories that we were hearing, that the coronavirus

was way earlier than the beginning of 2020, because people were sick at the end of 2019, that they didn't know what they had, and they weren't advised about COVID-19 and coronavirus, so they were calling it the flu, only the flu medication wasn't working at all. So people just wrote it out and took medications that never seemed to really help and got better. Well, now we're finding out that we see with using techniques

similar to those employed by intelligence agencies, a research team behind a new study analyzed commercial satellite, imagery and observed a dramatic increase in hospital traffic outside five major Wuhan hospitals beginning in the late summer and early fall of 2019, which would have met that it would have then gotten here in the beginning of the end of summer and beginning of fall as well with the way we had international travel. It's incredible to me how it was not understood from the very beginning and we are still being told we have to wear masks. Stick around for the podcast.

There is some great audio coming up from Chicago that is, I just said it was great. So that's what it is. Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. Thanks for listening to Chewing the Fat. Thanks for being a subscriber. Tewing the Fat. I really appreciate it. Sorry to interrupt you over there, Fisher at the studios, but we have breaking news. We have breaking news. I didn't mean to startle you or scare you. You just finished the radio show with that story from the Who, saying that asymptomatic people. And that was on Monday.

You know, that was a story that came out yesterday on Monday. As of today, the Who has walked. backed what they said on Monday saying now that the very rare quote may account for 40% of the COVID-19 transmissions. So now, the who is saying that asymptomatic people spread may account for the 40% of COVID-19 transmission. People piss me out. They have no eye. They have no idea what they're freaking talking about. You know what? And I'm glad that Trump cut him off. To hell with him.

And this is the quote from Dr. Maria Van Kerhove. I love Dr. Maria. Van Kerholy. She's the head of whose emerging diseases and zoonosis. I know what she's the head of. She says

we don't actually have an answer yet. There are some estimates that suggest that anywhere between 6% of the population and 41% of the population may be infected but not have symptoms. So at this point, the estimate is around 16%. The majority of the transmission is from people who have symptoms and are spreading it through infectious droplets. but there are a subset of people who don't develop symptoms to truth understand how many people don't have symptoms we don't actually have that answer yet so look at you Jeffrey it was a matter of seconds of you saying that one story and then now on Tuesday who is saying forget about it

we're not going to just just back to you at the studios over there Thank you. As you well know, when news happens, CTF records. And that is a perfect example of our actual motto coming to fruition. So thank you, Chris, for breaking in on that, I think. Anyway, I was in the middle of just thanking people for being subscribers to chewing the fat because I have some audio now from Chicago that is just, well, I had fun listening to it. Now, I'm going to, I want to give you a heads up. I know that some of you come from a different place than I do. And, you know, you don't want your kids to hear bad stuff. And I get it. And it's up to you. This is still America, after all.

And you can believe what you want to believe. And we can still get along. It's an amazing thing, this American concept. But they're having a meeting with the alderman in Chicago, which is there are 50. I would think that there would be less aldermans than that in Chicago, but there are 50. And this alderman is an alderman from the 15th ward in Chicago. And he is a little upset with Mayor Lightfoot. And they are having a question and answer, a little get-together.

And apparently, Alderman Raymond Lopez has been a critic of Mayor Lightfoot as which is a surprise because she's just a... Oh, she's a doll. And by the way... A doll. She's a doll. And for those people at home that do not know who this mayor lifehood is, this is the mayor that said that she has to get a haircut because she cares about her hygiene.

And that was when everyone else couldn't, by the way. Yes. Including everyone in her town of Chicago. Yes. This is the same mayor that said we were going to throw you in jail. we will find you and arrest you if you break our going out of your house laws because of the coronavirus lockdowns. The same mayor who has, you know, I would say look the other way toward the protesters in her fine town of Chicago. now people are starting to get a little concerned over these protesters and they should be concerned

yes they should yes they should and we are darn close to some stuff happening that i don't want to happen and it looks like it's going to happen and we'll talk about that after we hear the little gathering in chicago of the the councilman and the mayor and the alderman and they're all asking questions and getting them answered. Well, it was Alderman Raymond Lopez's turn to ask his question of the mayor. For an hour. And we can't expect our police. And I don't fault them at all to be able to control this.

But I know that we asked our faith base yesterday to stand at the front line between police and looters and rioters. And I am simply not comfortable telling my churches those people to be the intermediary in the middle of a riot that's citywide. We need something better because right now we only have 370

whatever National Guard's on standby half our neighborhoods are already obliterated. It's too late. We have to come up with a better plan because once my fear is once they're done looting and rioting and whatever's going to happen tonight,

God help us. What happens when they start going after residents, going into the neighborhoods? Once they start trying to break down people's doors so they think they got something, you know, we know that people are here to antagonize and in sight, and you've got them all pumped tonight. Today, they're not gonna go to bed at eight o'clock.

They're gonna turn their focus in the neighborhood. I've got gangbangers with AK-47s walking around right now, just waiting to settle some scores. What are we gonna do and what do we tell our residents other than good faith people? people stand up, it's not going to be enough. Well, no, I want an answer. I've commented on everybody, I want an answer.

It's not something you ignore. This is a question that I have. I think you're 100% full of shit is what I think. If you think we... No offense, fuck you then. Who are you to tell me I'm full of shit? And if you think, if you think we were not ready, and we stood by and let the neighborhood go up,

there's nothing intelligent that I can say to you. Well, maybe you should come up. out of what's going on. The stupidest thing I have ever. You think that you need to check your fucking attitude. That's what you need to do. Right now, no. You need to check your attitude.

Are you being disrespectful? Hey, hey, hey, you just told me, I'm full of shit. And the other alderman on the call and, uh, you know, the other people on the call are trying to calm him down, saying, you know, calm down and he's out of order. And the mayor was actually, like he said, she was the one who started it, calling him full of crap. That is incredible.

And I'm sorry. He is not out of order. No, he is not. He's concerned about his neighborhood that he represents. Because if let's say people are saying that the Christians need to be the mediators, which I believe that is true, we need some good people. there to calm both sides. I agree with him. But how can he,

in a clear way of thinking without any repercussions, send Christian people to be mediators knowing that they could get shot by either side? Right. They could get hurt by either side. And they certainly, and the mayor is saying

that if you think that her comment was, if you think that we aren't prepared, or something for that. Well, you certainly haven't shown up to now about being prepared to help to stop businesses from being destroyed and buildings to be destroyed and livelihoods to be destroyed. You certainly haven't been prepared for that.

And the other man is correct. Once there's nothing else to loot downtown, they're going to start going to the surrounding areas. And once they're done with that area, they can go to the other areas. And it's just like a vicious. You know, me and you, Jeffrey, we love movies, we lost TV. But we've always prepared for a zombie, an alien invasion, a nuclear warfare.

I don't think when we were said that we have to get prepared for nuclear warfare zombies, I think we meant to say this. No kidding. Look, we're coming to a point now. We have people and some cities are following through with the disbanding of the police departments. And I get it that the overall perspective of that is, well, we're going to get rid of the police department that we have as is now. There's still going to be some kind of law and order. Well, that may be what you're thinking, but that's not what they're asking for.

And by there, I mean the protesters, the rioters, that's what that's not what they. are asking for. They're asking for no more police. Yes. Period. Or guns. They're not asking for, can we tear down the police department the way it is and then rebuild it up better? They're not asking for that.

They're not asking for what you're thinking of. Using Minneapolis as an example, when the mayor who says he's not for dismantling the police department because he knows that we need some sort of. of law and order. He gets booed out of the out of the streets. He's told to move on and get the F out of there. Get out of here. And now

you have aldermen asking a mayor of a major city in this country, Chicago. Jeffrey, the city that kills people by the tens every weekend. I didn't worry about that. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. That crime doesn't even

counts. Like it doesn't even exist. That's just everyday, everyday street crime. And those are the people, as the ultimate said, that are on the streets already. Yes. Waiting to settle scores because they already know, Mayor Lightfoot, that you are not prepared and will not do anything. So when they have the opportunity, they will take care of business. And by that, I mean, they will take the things, and they will be justified in taking those things by it should have been theirs to begin with. Or it doesn't matter because we're protesting we're protesting and we want to start again.

And good people are going to get hurt. And good people are going to lose their belongings. Yes. Yeah. I mean, and we're at a place now where I believe, I don't know how long, but we're going to, we're close to having areas in this country

that will be, No go zones. Sure, you're free to move around the country and go wherever you want. Sure you are, you know, if we say it's okay. But there's going to be cities, and I don't know, we'll just pick a city out of the hat, Minneapolis, Minnesota, where if you want to go into a three or four mile radius of Minneapolis, you will have to be guarded by the warlords.

And you'll have to be having to go ahead of the warlords. That's right. It'll be Afghanistan. It'll be Afghanistan. The warlords will be in charge. And that'll be the way it is. And it's sad. And it's sad.

That's the way it is. If you live there, they protect you. Those will be your protectors. And it's sad to say this. But in order to learn, it has to happen. In order to learn that it was a bad idea, it's had to happen. Because I've had this conversation with my wife, you know, when we're at the dinner table, it's saying, you know, look at all these people.

For example, you have the New York Times headline that says Garcetti's proposal to defund the police. And now they're demanding that Governor Newsom gives a quote because he has kept his mouth completely quiet. Because they know. Look, these people are radical and most of them, not all of them, most of them know that there has to be some kind of law and order around the mayhem. But when you try to make that happen, you lose control of the mayhem,

which we're finding, which they're seeing come to fruition, which is why the ones that know it, as we're seeing with Lori Lightfoot and Diggleberry in New York City, they just keep pushing the buttons.

They just keep pushing the buttons. I mean, if I was a police officer in New York, I don't know that I would remain a police officer in New York. I mean, the, if you, you know, I guess the argument would be if I was a police officer and I was close to getting my, you know, 20 years before I could retire with a pension, which might not be there to begin with, you know, what they've been doing with the pensions. But anyway, you know, I can see the thought of, it just doesn't matter. I can't be, I can't be a police officer anymore. I can't do it. I mean, I don't know how they do it. And I don't know how they go on.

And it's, it's, I'm getting too ugly in my own head. And I don't want to get ugly on chewing the fat. And I'm sorry. But we're close to it. I feel like we're close to it. And I, and if, if Chris is right where it has to happen for us to learn, then how many places around America, what hot spots become the, and by no zones, I mean, you could go in there as long as.

the warlord says it's okay and you have protection from the warlord uh with you but i mean if you decide to do something against what the warlord thinks you should have done have a nice day you're not coming out okay if that's what this that's the way you want to live it's not thank you for listening to chewing the fat today i appreciate it okay we'll just leave it at that and tomorrow we'll try to get back to chewing the fat but I can't promise you that well I mean we can promise you that there's gonna be chewing the fat we'll see what kind of fat it really turns into
