Starting point is 00:00:00 The Blaze Radio Network On Demand What is going on in America? That's what I want to know. 6,500,966 pounds of various raw, non-intact beef products may be contaminated with salmonella. Now, look, I realize that maybe 6,500,000, 960,000, 9,000, 9,000, 966 pounds of contaminated beef products. Might be a small percentage of what we consume here in America.
Starting point is 00:00:49 But that seems like an awful lot. And it seems like we're hearing it more and more. Like there's now a salmonilla recall on eggs in seven states. I mean, what is the problem? What is going on? We've got an investigation on the beef, 57 case patients from 16 states. And that's ranging from August 5th to September 6th. Okay?
Starting point is 00:01:22 With the eggs, we're in seven states, 38 cases in all, in seven states. It is absolutely amazing to me that we get, it sounds like, it just seems like, and it might not be true. that more and more products are being recalled due to some sort of contamination. Now, is that a budget thing? Do we need more inspectors? Are the inspectors that we have not doing their job? Are we just have the mindset of, who cares? You know what?
Starting point is 00:02:02 If they eat a little sick meat, they get a little diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever. Who cares? right? As long as you got that and you make it through, don't worry about it, you're fine. Who hasn't had a beef product and then ended up with, you know, some diarrhea, domino cramps, some fever within 12 or 72 hours, and thought to yourself, man, that couldn't be the hamburger, could it? All right, addiction, drugs, and longevity. Do they go together? I don't know. but I just know that the Trump administration is awarding $320 million and probably going to be a whole lot more to combat the opioid crisis.
Starting point is 00:02:50 The opioid crisis. We've got an opioid crisis and we've got to do something. Right? We've got to do something. So I find it fascinating that we, this is what's been going on, okay? The Attorney General has been, I mean, absolutely resolute in the fight against the drug crisis in America. His department has assigned more than 300 federal prosecutors to U.S. Attorney's offices and hired more than 400 DEA Task Force officers, announced the formation of Operation Synthetic Opioid Surge, a new program to reduce the supply of deadly synthetic opioids in high-impact areas, of course,
Starting point is 00:03:35 and created a new data analytics program called the Opioid Fraud and Abuse Detection Unit. Well, that's a good business card right there. Freeze. This is the opioid fraud and abuse detection unit. I'd like to see the badge on that. They wanted to assist 12 prosecutors sent to drug hotspot districts. In addition, the department charged more than 3,000 defendants with trafficking and heroin, fentanyl. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:03 And prescription drugs. announced the first ever indictments of Chinese nationals for fentanyl trafficking, scheduled variants of fentanyl to prevent illicit drug labs from circumventing the law. The DOJ executed the largest ever health care fraud enforcement action, charging more than 600 defendants, and proposed rules consistent with President Trump's safe prescribing plan. Now we're getting into the places where I have some issues. The safe prescribing plan.
Starting point is 00:04:33 requiring a reduction of 10% in 2019 in manufacturing quotas. No? The department dismantled Alpha Bay, the largest criminal marketplace on the internet. Yeah, okay, we got rid of the bad guys. Get rid of the bad guys. Don't harm the good guys. And on top of that, and then you can break it down. They even break it down even more as they go and where's all that money going to?
Starting point is 00:05:00 Well, you have the innovative process. Execution Solutions for Combating Violent Crime and Opioid Abuse. You have the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Site-Based Program. You have the Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program. You have Helping Children and Youth Impacted by Opioids Program. You have Drug Courts. You have Paul Corvadel Forensic Science Improvement Grant Program. You have opioid-related research for criminal justice purposes.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Okay, those last two? I need some money from that. the Forensic Science Improvement Grant Program? Okay, I believe that I have some new ways to forensically, scientifically improve opioid abuse program. So I need like $3 million out of that, please. That's an awful lot of money and a lot of programs. Going for really, the numbers are,
Starting point is 00:05:55 when you get into the numbers, and they talk about some of the big numbers, This is and this is kind of what where I really have a problem all right when they talk about 72,000 Americans lost their lives to drug overdoses okay in 2017 and they still say 64,000 overdoses deaths in 2016 this is these numbers are not true They're not true The CDC already came back and said you know we had estimated some some 32,000 Americans died from overdoses in 2016, which, by the way, is half of what's reported in this story.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Okay, so they're already lying to you. Half of what they're reporting in this story. And the CDC says what they say is wrong. We think those overdoses involving prescription opioid pain medication in 2016. Yeah, we just didn't do that right. We weren't sure on the reporting. So their new estimate is half of that. 17,000.
Starting point is 00:07:01 So it's really not a, it's not a, it's not a, I mean, it's a, you know, I don't want the 17,000 people to die, clearly. But it isn't this epidemic that it's supposed to be. Okay. Now, much of the current opioid predicament stems from the explosion in prescription painkillers in the 90s and 2000s. That's because, you know, we were starting to get older. More Americans realize that, hey, you know, I can take painkillers and,
Starting point is 00:07:30 be fine, and I can live my life. So they put tighter restrictions on them and the demands. And then what happened? Oh, geez, I can't get my, I can't get my oxy. I'll get heroin. So then the heroin boom happened. Now, the attitude that has led many doctors whose patients have had no problems with opioid prescriptions to back away from prescribing them.
Starting point is 00:07:58 and I just want to be clear, all right? I want to be clear. I get that there's a problem. Absolutely. And I get that people become addicted to them. Okay? But there is a difference between depending or addiction to opioids to survive rather than just being addicted to them. Okay?
Starting point is 00:08:30 And I don't know that that make, I want to make sure I make sense. People need painkillers to get through their day, day-to-day living. Those people shouldn't be harmed in this opioid epidemic fight. But there's the ones that's being harmed because the manufacturing has to be down, according to the new Trump plan. So the doctors are going to have less to prescribe. They're beating up the doctors for prescribing the opioids, the painkillers. It's a problem.
Starting point is 00:09:02 And obviously, if I'm taking painkillers every day, I'm addicted. My body is addicted to the drug. But I'm not breaking into homes, robbing people. I'm using the medication as prescribed to be able to get through my day. Those people are not, those people are not the problem. And those people are the ones that are being pointed out. and put on the opioid addiction list. It just drives me crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:38 But there is good news, though, because the OxyContin Maker just got a patent for the drug to treat the opioid addiction. So that's good. I mean, good for them. Good, good for them. Because I wouldn't want them to let another company, you know, I want that company,
Starting point is 00:09:56 the company that's feeding you the drug, is like the it's like the cartel our prescription cartel getting you addicted taking you off I love it I love it good for them
Starting point is 00:10:10 good for them now there's a story here about how to live I don't even care about that you know what I don't even care about the the pharmacies there's been pharmacies in Tennessee there's been pharmacies in West Virginia
Starting point is 00:10:23 the one couple had the pharmacies in West Virginia and they were I think the county that they're won, might have been two or three pharmacies that they had, they were equal to like
Starting point is 00:10:38 over 300 pills for each person in the county. And she still said, she was the doc and she still fought him. And she said, no, these are all legal prescriptions and I'm taking care of it. But she's now gone to the islands.
Starting point is 00:10:54 They still want, they want to investigate her, but she's not in the U.S. right now. So maybe she knew there was a little bit of a problem. But then they have the pharmacy in Tennessee that they've been trying to shut down and trying to go after the people there. In that county alone, the one pharmacy wrote what would be the equivalent to 270 pain pills for every resident.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Now, well, that seems like a lot. No, I'm just teasing. Of course it is. Stupid. I mean, 270 a month. because what do you think you take the max is maybe five a day right i know the i know the wrestlers have all thought we were taking 30 a day i went through a toll road and didn't even remember it remember the the the show that they had on the actual
Starting point is 00:11:49 the true documentary on the opioids wasn't that one of ours wasn't that one of the ones that we did here the the documentary thing that we made here at the blaze right yeah yeah yeah and uh one of them was the opioid addiction. And they, you know, they had the wrestlers on there. They were taking, you know, hundreds of painkillers a day. And of course you're going to, there I am going through the toll road, even though I was alive then. Well, you probably weren't.
Starting point is 00:12:13 You probably weren't. Look, we all want to live forever, right? I mean, we kind of, I know that people say they don't want to live forever, but all we're always looking to try to live forever. I mean, we all want to live longer. We're taking our vitamins. We're taking our medications. We think that, you know, the magic pill we've found to make us smarter and younger and thinner.
Starting point is 00:12:37 We all love it. But there was a story not long ago about all the Centurians and how, you know, their secrets for living old. And really, it seems that their secret for living old is not trying to live forever. I mean, they're drinking Dr. Pepper. They're smoking cigars. You know, World War II veteran Richard Overton, he's the oldest man in America at 112. He begins his morning with whiskey and his coffee and a stogie and his teeth. All right, he consumes about 18 cigars a day.
Starting point is 00:13:11 He eats scarfing, he's eating catfish and catfish gravy, macaroni and cheese. Last year, the 106-year-old Texan, Elizabeth Sullivan, who passed away, but only after guzzling Dr. Pepper for over 100 years. All right. So every doctor that sees me, this is a question. from her, although she died last year. So sad. Every doctor that sees me says they'll kill you, but they die and I don't.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Think about it. So I'm still drinking my Dr. Pepper, Doc. Okay? Now, she said actually, at the end of that quote is, so there must be a mistake somewhere. Yeah. Susan Muscat Jones died two years ago
Starting point is 00:13:54 at the age of 116. She never drank or smoked. But she did eat four pieces of bacon with eggs and grits every morning for breakfast. Now, that's only four pieces of bacon. I mean, I can do four pieces. Who doesn't eat four pieces of bacon just before rolling out of bed? Duh. Adele Dundanat passed away last year at 114.
Starting point is 00:14:19 After a lifetime of eating, drinking, and smoking whatever she wanted. She never went out jogging or anything like that. I'm not doing any of that. The longest confirmed lifespan in history goes to Janine Kalment. who died in 1997 at the age of 122, according to her obituary, okay? Used to eat more than two pounds of chocolate a week, smoked nearly all her life,
Starting point is 00:14:43 and continued to drink port wine into her 13th decade. I mean, and we're talking about, we want to make sure that people don't drink, and people don't smoke, and don't do that and don't do this. Now, I know this is a rarity. I mean, even, you know, the people that I talk about, everyone that thinks they're going to live to 122 dies at 60.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Have a nice day. I know I'm going to live to... I can eat bacon and smoke all that. Nobody's going to tell me I can't drink. So I get it. Okay, I understand. I do. But there has to be a fine line, right?
Starting point is 00:15:31 There's got to be a line there somewhere. I wish we need to take some, you know, some DNA samples from the old folks before they kick. We need to make that into a law. You hit 100? DNA sample from you. 110? You.
Starting point is 00:15:47 120? You. I mean, every 10 years after 100. We could take DNA, blood, test, everything. That's what we're doing. I don't want to. Too tough. We're doing it because they're already saying that we're going to live.
Starting point is 00:15:59 The person who's going to live to 200 is already alive. I mean, a lot of doctors are saying that right now. I mean, that's impressive. I mean, I'm just under 200, so I might be that person. I don't know. This morning I woke up and I felt 200. Does that count? Doesn't count?
Starting point is 00:16:19 All right. But look, I really believe that, you know, everybody's just like, you know, we were talking the other day about our criminals. You know, parents don't see their little baby in the crib and say, oh, look at little Bobby. He's going to rob the 7-Eleven. He's so cute. Nobody thinks that.
Starting point is 00:16:34 And nobody thinks that they're going to be the one to die either. You know, that's the whole thing. I'm going to be the one I can live forever dead Right I mean that's just the way it is I can drive thousand miles an hour on this raceway The actions don't have God have a nice day
Starting point is 00:16:52 So I get it But it's just a little A little frustrating Because I wish they'd just come up with the The magic The magic little pill The quality of life You're 100, you're hanging
Starting point is 00:17:08 out people waiting on you. You're eating what you want. See, and in today's world. Now, if you were 100 years ago, then you're sitting on the front porch, maybe trying to get in the radio station, chewing on a cigar, waiting for somebody to bring you a drink. Today's world, I mean, you've got computers.
Starting point is 00:17:25 I mean, you're sitting on the front porch. You've got DISH network. You could live out in the country and watch anything you wanted. You could get drunk and watch Dish Network and just hang out, smoke cigarettes. Where's the kids at? Somebody better trim these heads. edges.

Wait, whatever was Bill Cosby? Bill called me from prison. It's his first week, you know. You know the first week in prison, Bill Cosby calling me on my phone.

Starting point is 00:19:53 I'm in the middle of something. You got to call me earlier or later, bro. Any other time I'd answer it. I just, I missed it. I'm sorry. All right. All right, we're at the water cooler. You know, look, there was a few stories that caught my eye for just to, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:07 chit chat around the office like Lil Zan. You know who Lil Zan is? L-I-L-X-A-N? I mean, I'm a fan, Lil'an. And, man, you can't, I mean, I've downloaded every possible L-Zan music and whatever whatever he does, dances, taps, I'm not sure what he does. But he was hospitalized.
Starting point is 00:20:27 He claims for eating too many flaming hot Cheetos. That's what he claimed. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm doubting Lil Zan went to the hospital because
Starting point is 00:20:46 of too many flaming hot Cheetos. Yeah, we'll tell him it was too many hot chitos. Yeah, we'll tell him it was too many hot, Flaming Hot Cheetos. Okay. Okay, that sounds good. Stop it. Lozanne. I ain't buying it, bro. We got the, oh, we got the Connors starting up, new TV, right, Roseanne?
Starting point is 00:21:04 Roseanne without Roseanne, the Connors. Looking forward to it. I saw a clip. Looks pretty good. I'm a fan. I'm a fan. I love the remake of Roseanne. I was forced to watch it when it was first run. My first wife was, you know, loved Roseanne, so I was forced to watch it. and, you know, they slowly became a fan and then this reboot was great. And then, you know, Roseanne went off
Starting point is 00:21:26 on her little tweet binge and went crazy, you know, Xanaxed out. And, uh, wasn't Xanax? Ambien, that's right. Yeah, Xanax, not Zanax, Ambien. Yeah, she went on her little Ambien Twitter rage. I mean, if you want to go on a Twitter rage
Starting point is 00:21:42 and not know what you tweet, I guess take Ambien. But, uh, the counter starts up and I saw a clip looks pretty good. Did they, the cast, oh, so awkward filming without Roseanne, was it? Because so many of you stuck up for her when she got in trouble. Oh, wait, none of you did.
Starting point is 00:21:57 It doesn't, they didn't say, obviously, that she's going to die. It didn't say how they were going to kill her off, but at the end of the first season, right, she was going in for knee surgery, so I'm sure that, you know, they gave her too much gas and she died on the table.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Yeah. I mean, people die all the time from knee surgery, right? Yes, they do. I've, in fact, woken up from knee surgery before. I only remember it once in a while, but I was in the middle, a quick story, quick side story. My knee replacement surgery, left knee, and I had like, my first surgery was when I was, you know, 14 years old on my left knee. My knees are shot. Always have been.
Starting point is 00:22:35 And so I got a replacement on my left knee a few years ago. I had to wait until I couldn't walk on it anymore. The doc was like, you're too young to get knee replacement surgery. I know. That was a surprise in itself. And he was just like, well, you just have to keep walking. walking on it until you can't walk anymore. And then when you can't walk anymore, we'll replace it.
Starting point is 00:22:54 See you later. And so one morning I woke up and crawled to the bathroom in tears because I couldn't walk on it. And I called him. And he was like, oh, it gets, it's timed then, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, it is. But I remember in that surgery, waking up.
Starting point is 00:23:13 I remember sitting up in that replacement. I don't know what bone they were cutting. I don't know if they'd already cut the bone. I don't know if they were putting in the replacement knee. I don't know if they were trying to squeeze the bone cement on. I don't know what part of the surgery they were in. But I just remember sitting up going, oh! And I remember seeing the dock with the mask.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And a guy up here to my left both, whoa, big man. And pushing me back and then I don't remember anything else after that. So whatever amount of gas they were using, they used a lot more after that. because I woke up eight weeks later. No, that's not true. But it may have taken me a little bit longer to wake up. They have just a little bit longer to wake up. It's so stupid.
Starting point is 00:24:05 But I'm looking forward to the Connors anyway. What were we talking about? Oh, yeah, really? Part of this podcast, and thank you for coming along for the ride today. This is Chewing the Fat with yours, truly, Jeff Fisher. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. and there's a lot of new things happening in the works.
Starting point is 00:24:29 We've got some other great ideas to bring you some great audio and a lot of fun on your time whenever you want to listen to chewing the fat. And I really appreciate it. Wherever you listen and download the show, thank you very much. And just a reminder, though, while you're doing that, of course you're subscribing, right? And then you're rating, and then you're reviewing it, And then remember we added one.
Starting point is 00:24:57 We added one. Sharing. All right. So subscribe, rate, review, share. There you go. Thank you. Now, the rate and review part, you can, you know, put what you want on there. Most people, I've noticed, rate it as about a 10 star and review it as, you know, quite possibly the greatest podcast ever.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Most people are rating it like that and reviewing it like that, but you don't have to. I mean, you can do what you want. It's fine. Nobody will judge right away until we actually see. So anyway, one of the things that I want to do on this podcast is a thing called, you know, living your American dream. Living the American dream. And really, we're living your American dream. I want to bring people and talk to them about what they're doing to live their life.
Starting point is 00:25:52 that makes it the American dream. You know, the American dream isn't the CEO of GE making $40 million a year. Everybody, you know, a lot of people, a lot of people, you know, think that's it. That's the only dream there is. No, that's not what the American dream is about. The American dream is about realizing what you love
Starting point is 00:26:15 and being able to do what you love and not have the government down our throats. That's a funny, crazy thought, isn't it? Yeah, I know. It's so funny with that whole non-government down-the-throat thing. It's almost if that's the way it was supposed to be, but isn't. Anyway, one of the people that I wanted to talk to was a family that, does a YouTube channel called Weedham and Reep.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Weedom and Reep. My daughter showed me this channel, and that's something that we watch together. It's a family. They have a wife, hubby, two kids. They homeschool. They have animals. They live outside of Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:27:17 They have the aqueduct system that waters the yards and plants in their system. It's tremendous. I mean, I love it. I love their explanations and they built the pond and they have goats and she's, you know, they try to eat well and they garden and they do everything, the whole thing. And I love it. And it's well worth, it's so much fun watching it with my daughter. And there's a YouTube channel.
Starting point is 00:27:39 They've got about 180,000, I think now, something like that, subscribers. Their videos are getting, you know, anywhere from 80 to a couple hundred thousand views. I mean, so they got to be doing okay. It appeared to me that the earlier videos, Hubby was going off to work. It appears now that Hubby is not going off to work. So perhaps the income from YouTube has helped out a little because he's being more and more a part of the videos. And I really wanted to talk to either him or Dinell, the mom, the wife. And so I had Chris Cruz email them, try to get a hold of them, and say, hey, you know, I really want to.
Starting point is 00:28:22 We'd like to feature you in, this is, well, let me read you the email. Okay. We would like to feature you and your family in a new segment called Living the American Dream. This segment is about your story and your success and should take about 10 to 15 minutes. It'll be via the phone, pre-recorded air on the Blaze podcast network. Down and dirty, nice, sweet and simple. Replies have been, hey, what's more information? Who am I talking to?

And I bet you those are all subscribed to Weedham and Reap. Now, I don't know if they count as separate subscriptions, you just lost them. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:30:47 That hurt. And then I was really mad last night. I was so mad when I got that email. And I've calmed down some because I get it. Okay. Okay, calm down. You know, I got it. I watch a lot of shows and I say, boy, I'd like to talk to that person.

Some of those people you don't even attempt to talk to, right? Because they're not going to talk to you. I got it. I watch a lot of Netflix shows. You think, man, I'd like to talk to them about it.

They go to London, they go to L.A. They can start coming to Dallas. I'm here for them. Okay, I got it. Maybe someday they'll say, hey, why don't you come out for media days?
Starting point is 00:31:37 And they'll put me in a row. And they'll just come down and sit in the chair in front of me. And I'll be able to go, oh, thanks for joining me. We love your new show. You know, I don't really want to do that. I want to talk to them when I want and get a little special feel for them. For you. I want you to be exposed to something different.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Rather than just the regular run-of-the-mill. hey promote this so I'm not interested period ooh that hurt that hurt
Starting point is 00:32:05 now I am a little over it I think I'm over it now so you know what I'm not over it I'll let you know when I'm over it because that hurt I'm not interested period I know my daughter's going to be so mad
Starting point is 00:32:22 when she says hey dad we got a new weed him and reap I'm not interested Period. So apparently there's new news that selfie sides are on the rise as a social media obsessed daredevil seek the perfect picture. I say, thank you. Thank you. I'll watch.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I'll watch. Go ahead. You know what? Go back a little bit farther. Take that perfect shot as you lean off the clip. Clare. You really shouldn't be up against that window, no. And then, okay, oh, that'd be a great shot.
Starting point is 00:33:11 If you just crawl out on that flagpole and, oh, just climb out on that flagpole, click. Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on. You want the pictures. You know, I often, and it's sad, okay, I got it. I'm not, well, I am making fun, but because it's not sad. You know, it is sad.
Starting point is 00:33:37 But if you're going to do something crazy, you have the opportunity. You know, I'll watch. At least once, maybe twice. Ooh. Watch right here is where the flagpole breaks. Oh. But, oh, back that up. Okay, go.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Oh, ooh, see when she hit. I mean, but I always wanted to. have suicide cams. I'm going to get a little inside Jeff Fisher baseball here for a second, okay? I don't know that I've ever talked about this on the air before. But I, for years, thought, I lived in Florida, and people used to jump off the Skyway Bridge. I mean, people tried to kill themselves all the time on the Skyway Bridge,
Starting point is 00:34:26 and we'd end up having resources and we have to go find the body. And by we, I mean, the other people, you know, the rescue people. And that we paid to do it. And, you know, it was just a big, it was always a big hassle. We had tried to find their identity and who they were. You know, they'd leave the car up on the bridge and everything. And I thought, you know, I thought, you know what we need to do? It's create a ledge with a little, like a little cupboard in it or a little locker.
Starting point is 00:34:55 So if you want to jump off, you'll climb up there and you put your wallet in a little locker and you jump. So we know who we are. And I thought a way to pay for it would be. be to have the suicide cams. So as soon as somebody stepped on that ledge, you'd get an alert on your phone. Boop. Somebody's on the skyway. And you turn out there's the picture.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Right? So you pay a monthly fee. I'm telling you, that's a million dollar idea. All right? I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. You can hook them up to bridges and plant buildings all over the country. And you charge people and then you get a little boop. Somebody's jumping.
Starting point is 00:35:31 And you see if they jump or not. Right? No. You think that's a good idea? All right. All right. Hey, if you're listening to this today, though, tomorrow's Friday. If you're listening to this actually on October 4th or before 9 a.m. Eastern on the 5th of October,

Now, if you were any kind of drinker in your life, six beers in an hour is not that bad. 10 minutes of beer. Stop. I mean, I used to, when I was in my drinking days, it was, you know, you get off work, you drink a couple of tallboys,
Starting point is 00:36:13 you still got four left out of a six-pack, you drink another two or three on the way home, and you got one left when you sit down at the house. Of course, on the way home. At one point in my life, I drove a car that was all dented and beat up and beat up, and the police would just drive by me going, oh, that guy's had enough problems.
