Okay? Stoufers. Unvailing one of the best possible machines ever made in America. Okay? I just want you to know that. It's called Mac on Tap. It delivers the Stoufers. macaroni and cheese from the tap.

Just think about that for a second. Walk up with your little bowl, pull the tap down, and it fills up with Stoufers macaroni and cheese. That is what makes America great. Now, I hate to bring this up. I don't know if you know this, But for the past, I mean, months, I've been so sick because of Roundup Weed Killer.

I don't know. You know, I'm trying to fight through it. I'm trying to, you know, make myself better. But, ooh, man, this Roundup Weed Killer is, I'm really struggling with it. Oh, my gosh, look at this yesterday. Bear agreed to pay $10 billion

to settle an estimated $125,000 filed and unfiled claims over Roundup the weed killer. Oh, did I... I barely...

I haven't filed a claim yet, but I mean, I probably should because... Now, they, Bear bought Monster. for $63 million a couple years ago. And it also inherited all the lawsuits that came with Roundup. So it was a pretty good deal for Roundup and Monsanto to go,

why don't you guys buy us? And we'll give you a good deal. You know what sounds good? $63 billion. Oh, sure, no problem. All right. Now they're calling that a bad deal. I will see.

because Monsanto is a monster business and so is bare. So after they get through the lawsuits, I think they'll be fine. But they have at least 25,000 unresolved claims over the roundup. And they've set aside another $1.25 billion for future litigation. And if they've already settled for $10 billion, I mean, that 1.25 billion, nothing, right? So they've got these lawsuits for, you know,

they've already settled for $10 billion. They've got another 1.25 set aside. So even if they set aside another $10 billion, right, for unfiled claims of which, you know, I don't know if you know this, but I am one of those unfiled claims. And, you know, if they could just write me a check, it would be fine.

I mean, I'll get better with the check. I still think it's going to end up being a pretty good deal for bear, right? I mean, they're just going to absorb the Monsanto deal. But that's incredible. That's an awful lot of money for an awful lot of sick people. And if it actually made these people sick with their glyphosphate, which caused Hodgkin's lymphoma, and it came on fast and furious, you know, over the, over the course of, the people being, you know, having roundup in their life, they deserve the money.

And it's sad that they got sick over it. So, I mean, I don't know how much it would take for me to feel better. But I'm guessing they could write that check. And I would feel better. Just saying. You know, there's so many stories every day. It's incredible. It is incredible to me.

I sit down every morning and I, and, you know, I just, you know, I put together stuff and stories that I think, you know, it will be good for chewing the fat, right? I mean, I try to stay away from the political stuff, although we do get into it from time to time. It's hard not to. I mean, it's all encompassing in our life. So it's, you know, it's difficult not to. but I try. I really do try to make it so that, you know,

at least we can put a smile on our face or that we talk about other stories and other things that are going on around the world and here in the United States of America. But, you know, we have things like Microsoft. We're going back thanks to the Black Lives Matter movement. We're going to go back to quotas. and Microsoft is going to be a big part of that.

They've already come out with a statement saying that they're going to have the quotas, and they're going to accelerate their cultural transformation through further investment in inclusion. They're going to strengthen the intentional career planning and talent development effort, that will apply across the workforce, beginning with black and African-American employees, but it's also going to be expanded into other groups. As Microsoft learns to grow,

they're going to expand their leadership development programs for select black and African-American mid-level employees and their managers. I mean, they're also going to further and strengthen company accountability for progress on representation. So good for them. Quotas are all a part

of the Microsoft life. And they are not going to be alone. I guarantee you that. And they also, good news coming from Microsoft, are going to, well, they've pledged. They'll probably give more,

but they've pledged $1 billion to fund climate intervention. well, good for them. Now, when they pledged their billion dollars, Bezos at Amazon was sitting in his office and he went, wait, what? Microsoft pledged a billion dollars to fund climate innovation? Well, I mean, that can't stand. I mean, we're going to pledge two billion dollars to fund, you know, climate intervention and inventing.

invest in clean tech. Oh, okay. Good. I mean, Amazon is on, their employees have pushing Bezos amazingly. And I mean, I know that they,

you know, co-founded the climate pledge, which, you know, people are just busy putting money into. Yay. And their goals, their goals are to be carbon neutral,

not free. carbon neutral by 2040 and use 100% renewables by 2025. Good luck. Good luck. Now his carbon footprint for Amazon has got to be incredible, right? I mean, if you think about how they rate carbon footprints. I mean, he has, you've, Amazon, I mean, not even Microsoft. but Amazon alone, you're talking about planes, trains, and automobiles, let alone packaging.

That is just good luck. Good luck being carbon neutral, you know, but it's all about getting there, right? We have to get there. We have to make the move to get there. Okay. All right. Good luck. I hope you do.

I hope you do. now let's go to i've got again you know i sat down this morning and i already had a you know already had a full boat for you i already had a full boat i was i was pulling up the pulling up the rafts saying now we're good we're not letting anybody else on or we're good but then i had to drop some rafts down because there's more stuff happening every day so let's go around the world maybe some headlines few stories. Like a few headlines. FBI has over 2,000 investigations

that trace back to China. Kim Jong-un, according to this headline, suspends military action against South Korea. Okay, we'll see if I buy that. Oh, we'll see if it actually happens. U.S. says Iran is the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism.

I mean, they're probably neck and neck with China, although China doesn't want to advertise that. Of course, and Iran doesn't care, the Polish president said he will welcome the U.S. troops from Germany. So Germany is, you know, they want to get rid of everything American, and so be it if they want to. I mean, that's, you know, I guess that's up to me, and I'm okay with getting our military out of there.

I'd rather, you know, bring them home. but we probably feel like we need the bases. And Poland says, come on, come on over here. All right. So around the world, okay?

Around the world with some stories that are, you're probably not going to hear on other programs on this network. It's very possible you're not going to hear them on other programs. One of the stories you hear, I heard Glenn Beck.

today on radio talking to Stephen Moore, just before we get, we're back, we're back to the United States of America now. I heard him talking to Stephen Moore, the economist, and I don't know what his position is with the administration, but he, you know, provides, you know, economic information to President Trump and the administration and, you know, leaders. And he was talking today about how he felt that, Google and any particularly they called out Google, but they were talking about the social media sites, were not, you know, they were these giant companies, but they don't sell anything. They're free. So they're not monopolies. And it's possible for, you know, other companies to come and do the same thing. And he believed that in five years there'd be, you know, another Google or another Facebook or another Twitter. Well, and it's up to us to decide well. And it's up to us to decide. to use their product or not. You know, some of that, I believe. But they do charge. They do charge.

You think to yourself, well, I could just go on Google. They don't charge me a thing. And I can find any information I want. And I can, you know, use that product for free. Well, you know, you're not really using it for free, are you? Remember when we used to laugh at the, at the stars, you know, the movie stuff? and the rock stars, and we still make fun of them, clearly, and many of them deserve it. But the one thing that many of them did, especially the big ones, all wanted to own their

intellectual property. They owned who they were, right? Well, Google and Facebook and Twitter, these big free, you know, companies, that's what they're selling. You're giving them your information. That should be free. And that's what they're making their billions on is your information. And your information should be yours.

And you decide. And I guess, you know, Stephen's argument would be, well, you do decide because you can make the choice not to use their product. Can you? Can you survive in today's world not using those products? you know obviously the technical answer is yes but i don't know that you can in the real world maybe one and not the other uh maybe two and not the other two or you know to just cut yourself off 100% from these products good luck and i wish you the best i wish you the best all right back around

the back around the world stories. Sorry, I got sidetracked a little bit. I apologize. So, this coming from India, and I don't know that I actually believe this story, but I like it. According to this story, a man had COVID-19 and was put in a hospital, and he was on a ventilator. And the family came to visit him, and the hospital had shut off the AC because they were concerned that the AC was spreading the virus throughout the hospital into other people coming. to visit their families and so on. So they cut off the AC.

The family came and said, oh my gosh, it's so hot in here. It's sweltering. So the next time they came, they brought their little air conditioning unit. And this is all in the story. They unplugged something because there wasn't an extra plug

and they plugged in their air conditioning unit. And they got, you know, started to cool the room down. Well, they had inadvertently unplugged the ventilator. Now, they didn't realize.

it because the ventilator was still working because it had its battery power backup. So they're cooling the room down with their AC and they cut off the ventilator and the ventilator is still working so they don't realize they've cut the ventilator off and apparently the

nurses and doctors didn't come into check for longer than 30 minutes and the ventilator battery ran out in 30 minutes. And so the patient goes into goes into shock and starts to go past how they bring in the emergency room and they can't save him.

Sad news, right? I don't know that I buy it. I mean, are we really, I know it's India, but are we really just letting people plug in air conditioners in a hospital room? Okay, if that's true,

be happy you live in America. All right? You know what? That's what this is. That's what this is. This is a be happy you live in America's portion of chewing the fat. All right. No matter how bad you think it is in America.

Be happy you live in America. Because this story from Ghana. All right. Ghanaian president, Akufo Ado. I love the Ghanaian president, Akufo Ato. He called the Nigerian president. Well, how about to Barari on Tuesday to apologize? Yeah, he called to apologize because Ghana had the,

had his country's embassy there in Ghana, and they tore it down. And they just bulldozed it down. Oh, man, get rid of it. We don't want it. We're going to, uh, local business man. This guy says he owns that land and he wants that building down. And sure, it's the embassy. sure it's the embassy to Nigeria but

you know what this guy says he owns it so bulldoze it down and then they realized oh man oh sorry yeah no I know international law says that that's sovereign territory and just because this guy said he owned the land doesn't make it so but sorry we went ahead and bulldozed it down anyway be happy you live in America

okay I love just, I just bulldozing down. Don't worry about it. Don't check with anybody. This guy says, you know, yeah, okay. Knock it down. Oh, man.

Was that the embassy of another country? Oh, gosh, darn it. We're so sorry. Wish we to check with you first. And then this story from Cambodia. Yeah, because I guess it could be true coming from Cambodia. They reached doctors in Cambodia removed a leech from a man who had gone swimming,

and the leech apparently crawled into this man through his man part. And apparently was causing severe pain while the leach was busy, you know, drinking blood from the man up inside his thing. And so they had to remove it. And now, you know, the man is fine. Everything is fine. They had to pull it out of the man. There's a giant leech that it's swum inside of him.

Okay. All right. Good. I'm glad that the doctors were able to put a camera. up there and realized that we needed to remove the leach. So that's great, isn't it? I know it is. I know it is.

Now, we can still go around the world. I know that we talked a little bit about Germany. They're on fire with COVID-19. They're locking down everything. and their contact tracing and distancing needs to be happened. They want people to wear masks. They're cutting large events, protests and demonstrations, of course,

will continue to be allowed because you have to be able to protest and demonstrate even in Germany. That's just silly. But they're closing their biggest meat processor, and they're shutting down. Other places of business, schools are closed. But, oh, wait, Germany is, is already shutting down meat packing companies and shutting down

employment agencies that subcontract out to these slaughterhouses. Isn't that the same part of the European Union that was saying they didn't want meat and food coming from the United States? Oh, that's right. So Germany is going to be, going to be fed. I'm going to be fed by someone or something, but it's not going to be us. And there's going to be, they're already considering blocking travelers, right? The European Union says they're going to block U.S. travelers coming to countries.

We're not going to be part of the bubble, the safe bubble that they want to do. They're talking about starting July 1st, I believe it is, yes. they're going to open up some of the borders, but they're saying U.S., Brazil, Russia, sorry, you're not going to be able to get in the country. Sorry. And even if we let you in, you're going to be locked up in that room over there for at least 14 days.

So good luck. If you wanted to go to Europe, good luck. And if you're in Russia, at least you have the facial recognition. tech that's going to be used for school kids and everything, you know, for their safety. Just for their safety. So don't, I don't even worry about it, right? It's fine. It's just, you know what?

Incredible times that we live in. But like I said, be happy you live in America. What are one of the reasons you should be happy that you're living in America? Gun sales skyrocket. According to this, 20 million Americans are packing when they travel out of the house. I would say that that's probably true. And you know what?

Good. Good. But if you, I don't think I'm alone when, and maybe this is just my white privilege, but I'm pretty sure other races did it as well. when the protest really started and looking like it was getting out of control I don't think I'm alone in making sure that

well since I don't have any weapons in my home I couldn't do this but if I had weapons in my home I would have made sure that they were loaded and I would have made sure that they were in a place where I could, you know, get to them if something were to happen close by. And I'm almost positive. I'm not alone in that. And I'm serious when I say, who among us can't say they did that?

Who among us? That's what I thought. Let's go to the break here, but I need a drink a Coca-Cola syrup desperately. So good. Thank you so much for listening to Chewing the Fat.

I was going to come as a surprise that I had, I just stopped training today because one of the things I've been training for, and I hadn't really talked about it, is I was going to run in the, in the NYC, Maryland. and I would have been training for it to run in the marathon and now it's it's been canceled so

I mean I've been doing this training for I mean months now preparing for the NYC marathon and now they come out and tell me and I kind of figured it would happen I mean we've told everyone that it was you know that it was you know if you were planning on anything it's most likely going to be canceled right and so but I hadn't heard about the marathon I've been in training

I've wanted to do it and now wouldn't you know it gosh darn it they canceled it and now I have to wait until November 2021

so I've just I've just stopped the training and I've given up I might get back into it when I decide to get into the 2021 marathon but you never know you never know because I'm so disappointed

right now and just can't get into it congratulations by the way to a couple of people most importantly right now congratulations to Dennis Quaid he's 66 now and he's been seen hanging out with his girlfriend

Laura Savoye Savoye Savoye. For quite a while now, they've been hanging out. And they apparently snuck away and got married. She's 27. And so good for her, good for Dennis. I love them for that. I love them for that. I mean

66 it's a good age it's a good age it's the new it's the new 36 in today's world right I mean

Richard here's 70 he's got somebody 37 I mean Richard what are you doing we talked about that the other day Richard is you know she's 37

and so Dennis has got the 27 year old good for him does he have any you know what I forgot to see is if Dennis Quaid actually has any kids from previous marriages. It's very possible that he has kids older than the new wife.

Oh yeah, he's got some kids here. How old are they? Yeah, his oldest son. His oldest son is a year older than the new wife. I bet you he's happy. I bet you he's happy. Let's see the second kid. How old is he?

Oh, he's young, 12. Yeah, he's from the out. Who's the mom of that one? Yeah, that's, uh, Kimberly. Yes, she's out. She's out. How old is Kimberly? No wonder she's the X.

Man. Yeah, Kimberly was born in 71. Wow. I mean, Kimberly is, what, almost 40? Almost 50. Right, 71. Holy cow, no wonder she had to get hit the road. Anyway, congratulations. Congratulations. You, on your marriage and your love and you just can't, gosh darn it, you just can't put an age on, an age on love, right? Okay. How come this doesn't happen to me? Now, I'm a little frustrated. I'm a little frustrated. Earlier this week, we talked about a lady that gets drugs set to her house.

from Amazon. Well, it was shipped by Amazon. They obviously didn't have anything to do with the drugs, and they made that very clear. But it was, you know, she was shipped to the wrong address, and she gets a, you know, a box full of drugs, worthy drugs, too. You know, hydro morphine, oxycodones.

I mean, drugs that people want, you know, on the street. Here's a guy. A couple of years ago, wins a scratch-off ticket. in Michigan for $4 million. And good for him, right? I mean, congratulations. He wins a scratch,

take gets a scratch off ticket. Scratches it off. It's four million bucks. He wins. He took the cash payout. I think the last time he took the cash payout. It was $150,000, which, oh, no, I mean, took the lump sum of this one and got the lump sum of this one and got $2.5 billion.

All right. So he won again. He won again. Another four million. What? I mean, congratulations. Congratulations.

I mean, now, he took the cash payout again, which is probably really the smart thing to do, get the money as you can. I mean, we've said that 100 to get the money. Because there's plenty of lotteries

that are going to end up going, oh sorry we are we're out of money yeah yeah we know we told you we pay you for the next 30 years but sorry good luck god bless so get the money when you can and uh he did it again and he's claiming it was from his lucky coin that he got from his father who you know is now passed away and they went fishing together and his dad gave him a lucky coin and He scratched it off again and won. Okay. Well, good for you.

Good for you. It's the ticket, the scratch off, if you live in Michigan, I would be, I mean, I'd be doing it. It's the $150 million payout instant game, right? So they show the ticket, man. It'd be nice to scratch off. It's a $30 ticket, a $30 scratch off. So, you know, that's why it's, you know, that's why the payout is so big. So for 30 bucks, right?

You get a chance to win from a $30 win to $4 million. Now, I don't know if they're saying that every ticket is a winner. I doubt it. But there's been $1.2 billion paid out in instant games last year in 2019. So, I mean, that might not be just Michigan. That may be, you know, across the board, across the country. But that'd be nice. That'd be nice.

If you can keep that pace up every, you know, every couple of years you win a lottery ticket for, you know, from four to eight million. You're living large. Oh, nice. I just, I just had the scent to me. I love it. Universal Pictures is working on a new take on Twister. One of my all-time favorite movies, Twister. I love that stupid movie. And that was pre-Helen Hunt plastic surgery.

We just talked about it. I mean, we just talked about watching Helen Hunt in the other show that I was watching on Netflix. And she's had, I mean, looked three cuts to Clown Face is there. And anyway, and the reason that it was so shocking to me to see her in this role on the Netflix show was because I just got done watching Twister, now the original Twister. And she's, you know, obviously it's, you know, 100 years ago and, you know, everybody's looks, you know, younger and better. But she definitely, it was a definite shock. But, and, you know, Bill Paxton was in the original. I mean, he's passed away a couple years ago.

So, you know, I don't know if it's going to be, if it's going to be, you know, the deadly twister. The monster twister. Oh, maybe, maybe we do remember in the original where they talk about, is there a five? And they say, has anyone ever seen a five? And of course, it was Helen Hunt's character who went through a five when she was a little girl. and it was the finger of God.

So maybe that's the name of the movie, right? Finger of God. Twister. Deadly twisters. Finger of God. Universal Pictures. 2020. Three or four.

Okay. So maybe tomorrow we'll get to the, I've got a list of, you know, Me Too movie. uh, struggles still going on. I mean, we talked about Ron Jeremy yesterday. We talked about Bill Cosby yesterday,

but there's plenty more. And it's starting to show up again for, uh, you know, for the Me Too movement. I mean, dozens of women that's being reported today have recently spoken out on social media.

So it makes it true. Uh, about sexual misconduct in the video game industry. Okay. Okay. Okay. So we've got to talk about. we've got to go down the list of what's being said and what's you know looks true i i know

some things don't look true and they are but many of these we find that all they had to do was really say no and it would have been over and that's a word that apparently you can't use when you're in some sort of sexual thing. You can feel and in your mind you can say no, but if you don't say no outside verbally out loud, then how do they know that you really mean no unless you say no? Anyway, I'll make a list. I've got it.

It would on and on and on. And do you also, uh, CrossFit CEO, uh, have a nice day. He, I mean, the weight on this guy since his horrific tweet has been unfathomable. And he now has, he's, he's selling the company. He's selling the company. Now there's, there's been a, apparently, there's been a laundry list. of allegations surfaced

over his past conduct so if there's allegations then you know that's it you're done but when you talk about this story it always starts with his offensive remark regarding the death of George Floyd

which was the beginning of the end for him right and you know he lost a bunch of sponsorships and they were telling him to get out and now you know, he has he stepped down from CEO. That's not enough. That's not enough him stepping down.

You know what is enough? Selling the company. When you know it is enough? Going away and never to be seen from again. And don't say another word. Now, I want to remind you of the horrific tweet. Now, it's being sold to Eric Rosa. I guess he's the, you know, some big shot former.

VP of Oracle Data Cloud and he owns a CrossFit gym in Colorado so you know I guess he's going to sell the whole kitten caboodle to this guy Glassman so he's probably getting a pretty good deal but I want to remind you

of what started this and how horrific this man is CEO Greg Glassman all right this is I mean the tweet and remember he replied to an actual tweet It wasn't, it was a reply to a tweet.

Now, the tweet was the, from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. All right. It's a research center. They tweeted, racism and discrimination are critical public health issues that demand an urgent response. And they had the hashtag Black Lives Matter. Now, CEO Glassman responded to that tweet. It's Floyd 19. Now you know how horrific a man he is.

How horrific that tweet was. That started his downfall. It's Floyd 19. Incredible times we live in. Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. All right. What is going on? I mean, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut requiring visitors from coronavirus hotspots.

Guaranteed 14 days quarantine. We have Vegas, Las Vegas, Nevada are now saying, oh, we don't care. It doesn't matter. You come into Las Vegas, you are going to have to wear a mask. well, it's actually, you know, Nevada, but hello, Nevada, Las Vegas is Nevada, right? Reno, too, don't forget about Reno. Yeah, I got it. Okay.

Don't forget about, you know, the high desert. I know, I know, but Las Vegas runs the house. I mean, Las Vegas is the place. So now they're making everybody wear a mask, and they're all behind it. They're all behind it. And I'm waiting. I'm waiting for Texas to be that way. It sounds.

I mean, there, you know, Governor Abbott is, I feel like he's close to Colin pulling the plug on that. And I can't. I can't, I can't abide by it. I won't abide by it. I'm okay with companies, private companies, saying their employees have to wear masks. And if you want to shop in our place, you have to wear a mask. okay great then I can make the decision whether I go inside or out your business but if the state is telling me I can't be outside

out of a residence out of a business and not wear a mask no no no no my friends no I will not abide it's incredible Fisher you might be more into the news than I am like you're you have you might have the pulse of the news and I may not have but what is happening in Texas I don't know when did we become

I know they're reporting that Houston has had coronavirus spikes you know big big time city in Texas they're saying the hospitals are nearing capacity well then

and younger people are spiking in these other states right I mean they're talking about spiking in Florida and throughout, but there's, but the death rate is down. I don't understand. Okay, so the cases are going up, but less people are dying.

And they're talking about, uh, the younger crowd. Those, those young kids, those whippersnappers, those, uh, cases are going up. Well, A, we're testing more and B, I'm sure that it has nothing to do with the protests. and the riots, but, you know, for sure the protests, it has nothing to do with those gatherings at all. Because they're all saying that, you know, the protests obviously can still continue. We can still have that.

But you can't go anywhere without a mask. But. And Texas is right there. I feel like Abbott is, he's bending the knee. He is right there. Yeah. And the thing that I don't. The thing that I don't understand is, okay, fine.

Like when he signed that stupid, when he said, if the city wants to put mandatory, okay, fine, which I get it. We like small government. But, like, I'm having an issue, and Jeffrey, you, today, if you're not listening live, it was June 25th today. If you're listening in the future, we're dead. So I apologize. guys and this is this was record of me speaking against the government and all the super rules but

yesterday morning i received an email from spirit saying hey we changed the time of your flight on july 27 i'm like fine we changed more than a month away more than a month away july 27 we changed the time of your uh takeoff and landing i'm like okay they already did that last time i flew Because we went from flying every day to flying every other day, Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Okay. So I got the ticket, blah, blah, blah. And they were like, we can't proceed until you confirm the changes. Okay, fine, sure, whatever.

Confirm the changes. So they changed the time. Would you say time? Time on the same day? On the same day. So I was flying the 27 instead of getting to Florida at 8, I was getting at midnight. which is fine. I don't care.

Okay. I don't care. By the way, this is more than a month away. Yeah, like I said, if you're listening not live today is June 25th. If you're listening after July 27, what the hell is taking you so long to listen to our podcast?

Right. Thank you. Damn. But thank you for being a subscriber. If this is your second or third time listening, thank you. Absolutely. But damn, bro, is July 27. Pick up the pace.

This was recorded on June 25th. Anyways. Anyways. So last night, around 6 o'clock, Fisher, I get an email from Spirit, and this is what it says. Oh, no. The Spirit says, your flight cancellation and reservation credit. Dear Chris, we... Wait.

Yes. This is the flight on July 27. I'm jumping ahead. have it in my head. I don't have to have it in front of me, but I'm... Dear Chris, we greatly value your business and opportunity to serve your travel needs. As you know, the travel industry is experiencing widespread impacts as COVID-19 situation continues to evolve. In response to this, we have decreased the number of flights over the next several weeks and we have canceled your flight but giving you a credit of $62.9 to be used by May 31st,

2021. So I'll let you finish, but are they giving you choices? No, no, my flight is canceled. Hey, we canceled these flights, but here's the times that we're flying now. No, no, no, no. Wow. So I have to, if I want to, you know, if I want to, you know, if I want to, rebook, I have to call or go to spirit.com or use, well, sorry, I can't use the app because

the app doesn't support reservation credit booking. So there's that. But Fisher, what is going on? Why are we canceling flights for July 27? I mean, they're looking ahead to nobody flying, right? They're struggling to stay alive. I don't agree with them, but I'm just saying they're looking ahead to try and by the way it wasn't a refund it was credit because my money got spent two months ago that's correct that's correct ago but okay perfect example fisher we have a cruise that is supposed to happen this fall is it going to happen well it's still out there of the ocean so don't worry about it you still got the crew and everything is still on the ocean you're fine but like yeah you're fine i keep for example this morning when i woke up i even turned to the wife and said

hey, do we need to get the local news? Because one, Texas was trending. Yep, it's still trending. Texas COVID-19. And then a little bit earlier, it was Texas, the new New York. And then... Well, look, look, that's what the mainstream media is really pushing. Right.

Again, the numbers are increasing. But the death rate's going down. It's amazing to me. And then you got Apple closing seven Houston stores as COVID-19 outbreak worsens. Houston, the next New York City. Like, why? Why? So now you-

And that's why I think Abbott is saying, you know, the numbers are increasing. His quote was at an unacceptable rate. Yes. All right. Well, all right. So again, I go back to, you know, I know that the numbers are going up in, you know, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas. but the death rates are not

and they're talking about how the younger populations are increasing in numbers so that couldn't have anything to do with the protests right because most of the protesters are all from nursing homes so and then you got Governor Abbott did you see that he closed down

where was it elective surgery again yeah because because of the Houston hospitals starting to be at maximum busy, yeah. So

one city? Yes. Okay. Okay. And the airlines, I mean, okay, the airlines, you know, they've been, they're still, you know, struggling no matter what the number. We joked around, but I just looked up the checkpoint turnstile numbers. And a couple days ago, I told you that they were up

over 600,000, so they're back. We're back. Americans are back. But the last couple days have been under 500,000. So the trend, you know, where people started traveling and then the numbers went up, so now they're, you know, they're not traveling. And if they have to go places, they're having to be quarantined. If you're coming from states that are conceived, you know, breakout states, which, you know,

apparently Texas is now one. and Abbott is ready to pull the plug on back to lockdown soon. I guarantee it. I just don't understand if Fisher, me and you live in the state of Texas, the DFW. When you go outside, do you feel like there's an outbreak? I do not. And that's why I was having a conversation this morning with a wife. And I have people living in Houston, and I asked them, I asked my brother-in-law,

I asked my parents-in-law. It's like, when you guys go outside, like, do you feel like there's an outbreak? Like, do you hear, you know, Juan over there? Like, do you hear that? Texas, right now, it feels like almost back to normal. It sure does. And look, that's why the numbers are going up, right? I mean, I was, traffic is back to normal.

I mean, it feels, and I know it feels, I get it. No, it's not. The traffic numbers are still down. I'm telling you, from the time of lockdown, when I would go out and go to a store, you know, take my wife or take my son to the store to go in for me because I'm not going in. Well, you are in the most vulnerable, how can it, most vulnerable group. vulnerable group, you know, because you qualify heart attack, gold bladder. Yeah, you know, you got the go blooder remove, you got the heart attack, you take like 15

medication just to stay alive. You're over a hundred years old. Right. So I'm in the window. Okay. If we put, if we put a Venn diagram and we put all those same. scenarios, you know, and just circle and circle. Jeffrey, you're dead center of all. Where all the circles meet, you're right in the dead center. I understand. Every list that says if you're elderly, if you have lower immune system, if you are taking medication, you just qualify left and right.

You're saying like the circle charts, I'm in the middle. You are dead in the middle. It's not even like a little bit to the left. You're like dead center in the middle. Every circle comes into my circle? Every circle comes to your circle. Equally. And it's not even like one of them comes a little bit further.

It's just like every circle equally applies to you. I got it. I'm pretty sure I understand where you're. I just making sure, you know, people said don't beat the horse, but I just want to make sure that the horse is down and understands that. Oh, trust me. I got it. Wait, is that Camille?

Camillo's with you? Yeah, she just stopped by. Anyway, I don't know where the hell I was now. I don't know either. But Texas does not. Back to North. It feels like it's back to normal. Yeah, it feels.

When I would go outside during the lockdown and travel somewhere, I mean, it was like, well, this is the way it needs to be all the time because there's no traffic and there's nobody out and I'm good. And now it's back to everywhere, traffic everywhere. Just like it always was before. Like last night, you know, my church canceled the Wednesday service because of outbreaks here in Tarrant County. And I was like, wait, why? So we're going back.

We're going backwards. Yeah. But is this a second way? we're still part of the first way. Exactly. That's what I'm saying. So where's Fauci on this? Even though the dude is backpedal like more than freaking a Mexican trying to cross the river. Like this guy backpedals more than a Mexican trying to cross the river. Like dude.

Oh. Calm down. Wow. But I'm okay. I can say that because I'm brown. But like it's just a second wave. And if it's like, of course more people are going to get sick. And there was another report that I saw that says, uh, the coroner.

coronavirus, if it's sunny, it dies in 30-something minutes. So, like, what is it? I don't understand the whole text is going backwards. Now, is this another plot to remove the red control in Texas? Because we cover this, the whole make Texas blue movement that is coming from California and all the celebrities. Yeah. So is this some kind of, I don't know, Fisher.

Well, look, they are saying, right, if you listen to... I'm not listening to Fauci, so recommend someone else. If you listen to reports, right? They certainly focus on areas of the country that tend to be more conservative. Okay. All right. So yeah, they absolutely are targeting. Oh, no, no, they're not targeting. Don't use that. They're certainly pointing out the fact that those areas, those numbers are going up. But it's misleading because they're not giving you the whole story. Which is very frustrating. Yes, absolutely. And you would think, at least I would anyway, that some of our leaders would be smart enough to at least come. out and say, hey, this is what's going on. But they're not. They're not doing it. I'm not

canceling my vacation trip. Whoa. Like, dude. Who do you think you are? I don't know. Who do you think you are? You can say you're on vacation all you want, my friend, but you're staying in your house. I won't have it. And look, are you going to drive now? I remember when we were joking around about areas that you wouldn't be able to go. And they're doing it. Yeah. They're doing it. And we also talked about the RV business.

Is this good for the RV business? I mean, they certainly said that they weren't hurting. Yeah. It was just reported that they weren't hurting. And if your home is a vehicle, are you technically not violating the rules? You are staying in home? well you're not violating the rules but wherever your area is that you've decided to put your toilet hose in from your from your vehicle that's where you're coming from right okay even if you just even if you

say well i was only there for a couple of days well so you're still coming from there so a lot of these states are saying if you come from a hot spot yeah yeah you no matter what we're not saying you can't come here, you just have to stay all alone, locked down, for at least 14 days. You have to dodge bombs. And if you survive the bombs after 14 days, we'll let you stay. Oh, you survived all the bombs of 14 days. Good for you. Go ahead.

You can go out now and shop, but you can still have to wear a mask and put a hazmat suit on. But you can still go out. It's amazing times we live. in amazing times we live in.
