And now a blaze media podcast. Hello and welcome to Chewing the Fat. Nice to have you along for the ride today. For those of you listening live, I'm the 2nd of July 2020.

Thank you for listening to Chewing the Fat. I mentioned in passing yesterday about the European Union deciding that, you know, they were going to exclude many countries like the United States from traveling to the EU. But just know, I know, I know I got to break it to you easy, dry your eyes, just know that if you're from Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, Uruguay, you'll be able to go to the EU. So don't worry about it if you planned on going to the EU for non-essential travel from those countries. Oh, and, you know, Chinese citizens are also going to be allowed, you know, to go to the EU. But not the United States. Oh, well, boy, and I was all ready to head over to the EU.

Oh, well, darn the last. luck. Congratulations to Dolf Lundgren, who is 62 years old now. He's getting married. He's back in love again and just a happy, happy man in love. Now, sure, his wife to be, Emma, is 24, and he's only 62. Sure, there's a little bit of an age gap. You know, like 38 years, but you can't put an age on love, okay?

Sure. He's got a daughter that's 24. Sure. So, what's it to you? Is Emma his daughter? No. Is she a personal trainer? Yes.

Have they been dating for a little while? Well, yes. They just shared on social media the exciting news. They were taking the next step in their relationship. They had a romantic getaway to Sweden. And gosh darn it, Dolf just apparently got down on one knee and said, Hey, Emma, how about we get married, huh? Let's turn this thing around.

And she, of course, said yes, and showing off the ring and the social media pick. So by saying something very special happened here in Sweden. So good for them. Congratulations, Dolf and Emma. for finding love wherever you can. A lot of fans weren't happy.

They were kind of making fun of them. Those of you that don't know who Dolph Lundgren is, look it up. You'll know who he is, okay? Man's been around for a while. He's a stud and a star. Okay?

And you find love where you can. All right? Now, if you are, in a position like Dolf Longren, you may need something called Relief Factor. Your joints may hurt, they may ache. You may be thinking to yourself, man, I wish I could move like I used to. Well, that's where Relief Factor comes in.

I started taking it and then I ran out by some quirky thing. I didn't have any more. I forgot to order it, you know, and then I realized, man, I am aching all over. Oh, no wonder. I'm out of relief factor.

So that's absolutely true. So I'll just, you know what? It is breaking news. I don't care when you're listening to this podcast. It's breaking news. Just Lane Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's main girl, was just arrested by the FBI today. And I was going through a thread from Amy Holmes on Twitter,

who tweets this just in, the FBI finally does its job instead of trying to undermine an election. FBI arrests Jeffrey Epstein's friend, Jislaid Maxwell. She says who was on the loose for years. She was just trying to have a low profile. She also says,

Prince Andrew, call your lawyer. Boy, that's a fact. And as for Gis Lane, she not only allegedly procured dozens and dozens of underage girls. She allegedly participated in the rampant abuse. Amy says, good luck, honey, surviving your trial date. No one is holding their breath, but you might want to try learning to hold yours.

A rim shot. incredible news that they arrested her. The arrest comes days before the anniversary of the arrest on child sex charges for Jeffrey Epstein. He killed himself in federal jail last August. He killed himself in jail, a suicide. Uh-huh. So they arrested her in New Hampshire. and she is now being charged with conspiring with Jeffrey to sexually abused children as young as 14 and for lying about her alleged conduct as a procurer.

Okay. The arrest of the British Socialite following a six-count criminal indictment issued in Manhattan Federal Court. All right. So she is, they've asked. They're going to ask a judge to detain her without bail as they continue to investigate the case. Kind of strange. I know that the victims had called for Maxwell's arrest ever since Epstein was charged. I mean, they wanted Gis Lane to be a part of this as well.

She was, I love this story. This story is just incredible. I'd just read you what the story says. She was arrested this morning. for those of you listening live, the 2nd of July 2020, on what the FBI called a gorgeous property in Bradford, New Hampshire. Okay. I mean, after having previously slithered back into the United States at some point.

Okay. I mean, we're not leaning in the other direction of her guilt right off the bat, are we? Uh, good luck. Good luck. I hope she gets a fair trial. It doesn't seem like she will. And does she deserve one? You know,

and that's up to you to decide if she deserves one or not. But we'll do, uh, we'll cover more of the Jislane Jeffrey Epstein saga as chewing the fat continues, uh, you know, the rest of the summer. Did you see where the guy, Jack Whitaker, the big powerball winner, who really struggled for forever, he won the big jackpot in 2002. He just passed away. He was 72. And he won the power ball back in 2002, as I said, $315 million.

He, you know, the story of his life after he won the lottery was kind of depressing. He became an instant celebrity at 55. He claimed the large, at that time, the largest U.S. lottery jackpot. He took the lump sum payment, good for him. 113.4 million after taxes. So he won 315.15.

million dollars in a powerball jackpot and he walks away he shows up back at the front door of his house with 113.4 million boy that seems a little unfair but hey life isn't fair and move on uh then he after he won he flew off to new york with his family to show you know do the rounds of the tv morning shows and then there were the lawsuits and uh everybody was asking him for money. He ended up saying he couldn't trust anyone. His wife left him. Of course, she took, you know, took her cut.

A friend of his granddaughter, who was, had a drug problem, was found dead in his home a couple of years later. Three months later, his granddaughter was gone to. I mean, it's kind of really sad. And then his daughter. in 2009 passed away. She was sick. She had, she had been struggling with cancer,

and he had hoped, you know, he had said at one point that he was going to leave everything to her. He lost his Virginia home to a fire a couple of years ago. I mean the guy. Holy cow. They said he struggled with drinking and gambling. His home and his car were constantly burglarized. remember he's the guy that he had the briefcases stuffed with 245,000 cash and three cashiers

checks for $100,000 each. And he was at a strip club and they broke into his car or his SUV. And they took it. So, you know, of course that's reported from a strip club parking lot. But he did get the briefcase back. And the money was still inside. I guess the thieves couldn't get it open. So, you know, he was charged with DUI a couple of times.

Casino employees accused him of assault. He said he was sad. This was, you know, just a few years after he won the lottery, that he said his legacy was already written. He said, I'm going to be remembered as a lunatic who won the lottery. and I'm not proud of that. I wanted to be remembered as someone who had helped a lot of people.

And he had plenty of money before he won the lottery. You know, it was just incredible. His life was pretty good before he won the lottery. And he did good. I mean, he started a foundation in his name.

They built churches and his family donated food and college scholars. So, you know, look, he tried to be a good guy. A lot of times we struggle to be good people and, you know, things, events happen. Life happens. But he had a big construction business before he won the lottery. So he won the lottery and just, you know, shot everything to hell.

He had a, you know, multi-million dollar company. Why wouldn't keep going with that? You know, then he couldn't trust anybody. Everybody wants your money. It's just, you got to have it set out for you before you, before you head off into public. You know, obviously you have to announce most places where you win the lottery. You have to announce that you won. But before you do that, you can get you ducks in a row and make sure that the people you want to have a cut gets their cut in those trust funds.

and move on. Thank you very much. And you got to be able to say no to the people that come. I mean, right? I don't know. Can you say no? It'll never be enough. It'll never be enough.

So you almost always have to say no. You know, unless it's, unless you won the lottery and then I came to ask, of course, you've got to believe everything that I tell you, right? Right. Anyway, rest in peace, Mr. Jack Whitaker. And I hope that you have found some peace. So for the last couple days, I've been thinking about a story that I saw. And it reminded me, because I remember seeing it a while back.

And, you know, it's those stories where you see the headline and whale poop worth $7,000 a pound. And you laugh and you find out about it. And then you move on with your life. But then I saw, I just. just saw another headline the other day that talked about this ambergris, which is, you know, well, it's essentially a whale poop. According to the scientists, it's a clump of squid beaks bound by a fatty secretion. And over time, it balls up in the intestine of some sperm whales. And eventually out it goes. So it's, according to scientists, it's not poop, but it is.

Now, some sperm whales, they claim that only 1% of the sperm whales that are out there create ambergris. And right now, I mean, sperm whales are endangered. There's only, I don't know, a couple hundred thousand left on the planet. While that seems like a lot, apparently, you know, I don't know, they were, you know, over a million. So, you know, times are tough. for the sperm whales and times are tough for the ambergris uh finding around the globe now why is it so expensive seven thousand or more a pound for this stuff all right now once it gets released you know like the poop uh it floats around in the ocean and then you know it

it turns into this, it turns from the sticky, not poop, but like poop substance into a hard gray chunk, you know, floats around the ocean. And then it, you know, washes up on shore or the ambergris hunters, you know, find it. I don't know, they just run a net to check it out ever so often and hope that they, you know, have the have the ambergress in their nets. but there's people, there's ambergriss hunters out there. Now, there are perfumes that use it, right? I mean, it was, it's a base smell for perfumes. And there's a few out there that use ambergris as its base smell.

And you can imagine that the, uh, perfumes that have the ambergris as their base smell ain't cheap. Uh, you're spending a little cash for that perfume. Okay. So, you know, people like to find it and sell it. And apparently hunters are out there, you know, following weather patterns and ocean currents to try to see where, you know, where the whales are and where the currents are and where we might get some of the ambergous. However, and it's got 20 or 30 chemical compounds in the clump. Okay. So, and each one of those chemical compounds.

compounds have its own odor profile. So one of them kind of smells like mushrooms, and the other one kind of smells a little bit like tobacco, and one of them smells like poop, and one smells like grass and hay. So each one has their own profile, so it probably smells beautiful, right? I mean, you could just well imagine how that piece of hamburger,

you know, that clump of squid beaks bound by fat, secretions smells just a you know it's a bouquet of of smells for your house however if you're in the united states uh you can't have it yeah no you can't have it now people have it up washed up on the beach in uh other countries and like one couple found a 32 pound piece of this stuff i mean now you're talking some cash, right? You're talking $200,000 for ambigris. But if you find it here in the States, you're going to be quiet about it.

Because you're not supposed to sell it. It's illegal to sell it. It's illegal to possess it. And it's illegal to buy it. So I can't buy it. I can't sell it and I can't have it. Okay. So if I, if you, not me, if I stumbled across it, I would turn it in and say, or I might just leave it there.

You know, that's me. I'll just leave it there. Hey, there's a big clump of something that might be worth, you know, over $7,000 a pound. I'll just leave it there. Because there's a law that says I can't buy it, sell it, or have it. So I'll just leave it there. And I would too. But if you were a person who thought to themselves,

well, I could just maybe find a way to sell this on the, you know, on the black market, well, then you should, you know, take it. But what's the thinking? Why can't we have it? Why can't we even have it? I mean, I get it. The sperm whales aren't endangered species. But we're not killing the sperm whales to get to the animal.

Ambergress, right? We're not, that's not happening, or at least it isn't happening now. So, I mean, we're waiting for it to float on shore or float into the ocean for a bunch of years and help we find it. You know, so I don't quite understand that law. But if you find some ambigris, whatever you do, leave it there. You don't want, you can't even have it in a little box on your, on your mantle in the house. Hey, what is that? Boy, that looks like ambergris.

No, it's not. Don't even open the box. We don't need that smell in the house, but it's not ambergris. It's fake ambergris. That's what it is. It's fake ambergris. No, no, really, it's fake.

I just made it, pushed it together. Right? I just push, it's, it's Play-Doh. That's what it is. It's Play-Doh made to look like ambergris. But it would be kind of, Cool to have, right? If you had a little piece, maybe, just sitting there.

Don't tell anybody. You know, just have your own piece of squid beaks bound together by fatty secretion. Just sitting there on your mantle. Giving your house that special ambergris bouquet smell? Oh, yeah. Now you're talking. All right. go to the break room. I need to

drink of some ice cold water. Oh my gosh. So good and good for you. So we were talking about ampergris, you know, sperm whale poop, but

for perfumes. But I was, I would you like to know what space smells like? I don't I thought would think, you know what? No, I'm good. But apparently there is a company that wants to create a new fragrance that will bring you the smell of space here on Earth. The fragrance developed by Mr. Steve, well, P-E-A-R-C-E-A-R-C-E-A-R-C-E.

It's a e de space. He's the chemist and founder of Omega Ingredients, a company focused on the creation of the highest quality, province-driven, natural flavors and ingredients for the food and beverage industry. All righty then. So apparently NASA is offering $35,000 in prizes to design a toilet that will work on the moon. And he was contracted by NASA to recreate the smell way back in 2008.

It took them four years to develop the smell from the space toilet. Okay. All right. You're talking about milk and a deal. So they wanted to create this so the astronauts would, would know what it smelled like before they launched into orbit so that they could eliminate potential surprises that the astronauts might encounter or experience in space.

Oh, okay. So for sure, they want to know that. Astronauts describe the smell as a mix of gunpowder, seared steak, raspberries, and rhodes. Rum. Man, does that smell good? So, you know, if you want to, if you want to smell like space, you two can get in on the Kickstarter deal to bring that fragrance to the market.

Ode de space. Man, does that sound like, I mean, who doesn't want to smell a little bit like gunpowder, seared steak, raspberries, and rum? Oh, man. Oh, oh, man. Huh? I know. I know.

I know. So there's still, and we have more news from space, too. Space news, news, news, news. Space news, news, news. In the Kinman Dwarf galaxy, there was an object that has now disappeared. I know. How could it disappear? Well, research published in the monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

And mine just arrived, so I didn't see it when it was first published. The massive and exceptionally bright blue star that was there that they observed between 2001 and 2011 is gone. They don't know what happened to it. They, I don't know. It could have just dropped in luminosity and now is partially hiding behind some dust. It could have transformed into a black hole without sparking a supernova. Right. Right.

If that happened, it would represent just the second known failed supernova. So if you just turn into a bubble. black hole and you don't have a supernova explosion. Okay. Then you're just a black hole. Now, the dwarf galaxy, Kintman, is located 75 million light years from Earth, so it's

right there. Astronomers cannot discern individual stars because that's so far away. So they just know that light shifts in spectra and brightness. And that could be spotted from Earth. But it's thought that the star is 2.5 million times brighter than our sun.

Okay. Maybe it was 2.5 million times brighter than our sun. But not anymore. Thanks now to its... black wholeness. Just incredible. And we have new findings that will appear

in a paper in the astronomical journal. Oh no, it's published in June, so it's already appeared there. Well, how come I didn't get my, wasn't in the other one? I must have, I mean, what's going on? I must have missed it.

So this one is talking about Kelt-9B. which was discovered in 2017. You remember that we talked about actually the finding of this planet because it transmits regularly dim the stars light by a small but detectable amount. And it was observed by the Kelt Transit Survey, a project that collected observations from two robotic telescopes located in Arizona and South Africa,

which is thus the name, Kelt-9B. It's only 670 light years away. That's it. It's right there. So, apparently

the giant world is about 1.8 times bigger than Jupiter. 2.9 times its mass. Title forces have locked its rotation to the same side, always faces its star. It's swinging.

rings around its star at just 36 hours. It carries the orbit carries it almost directly above the star's poles. It's 44,000 times more energy from its star than Earth gets from its sun. Okay, so it gets. This is Kelt-9B. It gets 44,000 times more energy from its star than the Earth does from the sun. so that makes the planet's dayside temperature and you're going to need some sunscreen

if you go to Kelp-9B at 7,800 degrees Fahrenheit I'm guessing that if you ever go to a dark spot, it gets a little colder, right? I mean, so according to this, when it passes over the star's cooler midsection, uh-huh,

it experiences two summers and two winters every year. So each season is about nine hours. That's a weird planet, man. I don't know that you want to live on Celt-Dash 9B. But, uh, I mean, it's a quick, it's a quick tan at 7,800 degrees. that's just a little warm. All right, let's find out what's going on around the world.

I mean, there's so much going on. We do have, there's going to be a big hearing before the House Judiciary Committee here in the U.S. as, you know, for the anti-competitive conduct in the online marketplace. So they're bringing in the big four. the head of Amazon, the head of Apple, the head of Google, and Facebook. They've all agreed to testify before the committee. Wow, that's huge. I mean, they all, remember they were, Bezos, I think, was the first up, say he was coming.

Maybe it was Zuckerberg from Facebook, maybe. But they want to bring them in and say, hey, have you stifled competition to the determinant of their users in the American society? And let me get their answers. Mr. Cook from Apple. Have you detour? No. Mr. Zuckerberg from Facebook.

Have you detour? No. Mr. Bezos, you're the richest man on the planet in today's world. So you must have, you know. Sundar, you know, from Google. Sundar, well, I don't want to do it wrong. I never can get it right. What is it?

Sundar, Bichai. Sundar Pichai. Okay. So Mr. Sundai Pichai, have you stifled? No. Okay, we're done. Thank you for showing up.

I appreciate it. No problem. Wish you guys hadn't come all this way. But good luck, God bless. I mean, wow. There's no set date yet for them to show up. And I would guess that you're not going to find out until maybe day of or day before because there will, I mean, between security and people who like and people who hate, right?

And more people that hate than I. So good luck. Good luck. God bless for these four guys. And the story it talks about us really, I love the story. So they reached out, of course, to have them to have. to have anybody comment on the actual story. A committee spokesperson declined to comment on a specific date.

Spokespeople for Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook did not immediately offer comment. Yeah, I bet. No kidding. In India, as long as we're on, you know, headlines from around the globe, in India, 59 Chinese apps, including TikTok, were cut. no more. Have a nice day. Band in India.

That's big news, man. There's a few, you know, TikTok stars out of India as well. So good luck. Hope it works out for you. You know, India wants to, you know, give China a taste of their own medicine. But, uh, all right.

And that might, you know, that actually could, uh, help, uh, startups from Alibaba and Tencent. out of India. So, you know, all right. I'm with you. No problem. The naked cowboy.

We call us come back to the U.S. The naked cowboy. He went to a demonstration in New York. I love the naked cowboy. He's been there. He's been in New York forever. You know, he plays his guitar. He's got his cowboy hat.

He's got his cowboy boots. He's got his underwear on. In fact, the underwear in the picture he's wearing, he has the red, white, and blue Trump name. on his rear end now. And he did have Trump stickers on his guitar, but he said he took them off for the protest in front of City Hall.

They kicked him out. They kicked him out. They didn't want him there. Said, get out of here. He's been on the street being a protester, having people look at him and his underwear forever.

He wanted to be part of it. He's one of them. Nope. Get out. We don't want the naked cowboy here. You're white and you have Trump on your underwear. Wow. So you mean that everyone isn't welcome at the protest? Huh. Really weird. Really weird. All right. Let's go, uh, let's go over to Russia. We just bounce around

the globe a little bit. Russian president, Vladimir Putin. He, you know, I'd probably, you know, stay in power now until 2036. That's all. That's all. Don't worry about it. He's only going to be power until 2036. So, it's good news, right? Come back to the U.S.? Sure, why not? San Francisco police say they're going to stop releasing mugshots of people unless they pose a public threat.

Okay. The police chief said that the decision was based in part on research suggesting mugshots can foster racial bias among communities. Really? I'd like that explain to me a little bit. San Francisco is the first city to do that, and you can bet that's coming to plenty of cities around America very, very soon.

Now, I'd like to know who gets to choose which mugshots get released. I'd like to know who they deem and what. crimes do you have to commit to be posed a public threat. I would like that to have that explained to me. However, I reached out to the San Francisco

Police Chief and they have not gotten back to me yet. I didn't really reach out, but I'm sure they wouldn't get back to me anyway. We'll stay here in the U.S. Tesla yesterday, congratulations, officially became the most valuable

car manufacturing. manufacturer in the world. Wow. Its stock has more than doubled since the start of the year. Hit an all-time high. Tesla's market cap pushes past $207 billion. So Tesla is now more valuable than Honda, Ferrari, BMW, GM, Nikola, and Nissan combined. Wow.

Now, sure, it's only produced 103,000 vehicles in the first quarter of this year, and Toyota made 2.4 million cars. But so? So what? What's it to you? That is amazing. Now, he's got great growth potential, according to investors. You know, it delivered 367,500 vehicles in 2019. which was 50% more than he did in 2018.

This year, of course, while he's climbing up in Worth, we'll see how many vehicles actually get delivered during the pandemic. But, you know, everybody's doing on the electric vehicle deal now, and they all want part of it. If he, let's see, if he posts this, if he posts a profit in four straight quarters, which he has one more to go now, he'll be on the S&P 500.

And I say he, the company, Tesla, will be on the S&P 500. That's incredible. Now, when I say he, you know, of course, I'm talking about Elon Musk, but, you know, the company is Tesla. It's not named Elon Musk.

Duh. So, stop saying that, okay? And as long as we're on, you know, headlines from around the globe Ben, let's talk about increasing your happiness here on the planet, shall we? The best way to increase your happiness here on the planet is to subscribe to this podcast, Chewing the Fat. It's really simple.

Monday through Friday happens every Monday through Friday. And then there are times when there's a Saturday podcast. And then there are times when there's an extra special podcast thrown in there. I mean, I work my tongue to the bone for you to make your existence on the planet better. And I got an email at Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com from a listener who asks a tremendous question and gives some thoughts in his email.

And I'm going to read that to you and give you my answer momentarily here on Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fish. Download and subscribe to more content at theblaze.com slash podcasts. So I've, you know, I've deliberately stayed away from, well, I mean, we talked a little politics, very little. And there's not any real pandemic news today with, you know, with all the news. I just can't. You know, I just can't. But I will say that I got an email from Rob at chewing the fat at the blaze.com. and he, well, I'll read you his email.

As Independence Day approaches, I was pondering the effects of social distancing on our American holiday. For me, the fourth is always represented a day when Americans put aside politics and stand together united over our triumph of tyranny for freedom. For me, it is the most recognizable when Americans sit together and watch fireworks. However, this year some communities have cancelled fireworks. Others are enforcing social distancing on the spectators. This brought me to research social distancing. I love it. This is me speaking, not him in the email now.

That's great. Back to his email. You probably already know social distancing originated out of the fear of catching disease. Later, it was used in fashion to ward off unwanted suits. by Victorian women. Regardless, in both cases, it was personal choice. And he sends a link. If he thinks he's going to tell me news on fashion,

he's forgetting I am fashion, although he did start this out with you, probably know. Back to the email. Therefore, it is common knowledge that fear and freedom do not mix. People who fear will rarely fight, while to the contrary, all must be brave to fight for their freedom. At this moment, I really don't know how to deal with this Independence Day celebration without feeling that all is masking.

Social distancing and cancellations is a direct attack on my freedom and our country. Any thoughts? Question mark. Best regards, Rob. Well, Rob. yes I do have some thoughts thanks for emailing me at chewing the fat

the blaze dot com I also wanted to mention that today is another celebration day for those of you listening live July 2nd 2020 and if you're listening past July 2nd I mean you can still celebrate and you can also put it on your calendar

for next year so you know and you can go ahead and put out your special UFO tree and celebrate because today is world UFO day. Right? Well, I know. That's what I'm saying. I wish I had to know earlier.

I would have celebrated for, you know, a while. I may have to release, I may have to post. I've got a UFO YouTube video that. I made a little while ago that I haven't posted yet. It's just been sitting in the dust bin of history. And I may just have to post that.

Since it is World UFO Day. I mean, in this story, it talks about you know, how the Navy was under fire after it released the, you know, the unidentified flying objects videos.

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who, by the way, is not look well the last time I saw him. He said the U.S. needs to take a serious scientific look at this and any potential national security implications. The American people deserve to be informed. I'm sure he changed his mind when he said that too, because he changed his mind on a whole lot of things during his career

as a senator from the great state of Nevada. Economist Tyler Cohen of Bloomberg, humanity has a long history of being caught unawares by outside arrivals. We do. And so we should pay more attention, maybe in the movies, so we should pay more attention to that bias in ourselves. He cited the technology, technologically superior Spanish invasion of the Aztec Empire as an example. Oh.

Okay. A famous political scientist Alexander Wendt said that whether it's alien life, who knows? It's a plausible explanation. My point is that we should be agnostic about this and simply study it scientifically. Let's do the science. And then we can talk about what we found. That's a good idea. And if we hold that true for everything, why that would be smart.

Wouldn't it Alexander went? Yeah, yeah, it would be. Yeah, sure would be. I say, yes, the aliens, aliens, you know, there's a difference between unidentified flying objects and UFOs. Sure, UFOs stand for unidentified flying objects, but when you say UFOs, you know what we mean. Right? Yes.

That's correct. You know what we mean. Okay? And maybe we'll just... you know, wrap up by going down some of my Twitter likes. I had to come up with a segment for that. Twitter likes. How about we just call it looking at what I liked on Twitter?

Nah, that's too easy. It's got to be something witty. So one of the tweets that I liked last night was a quote tweet from Buck Sexton, who was coming up. Oh, no, he's already there. This is the podcast. Never mind. He airs on Blaze Radio Network,

Premier Radio Network's radio host, Buck Sexton. He used to broadcast as a Blaze employee, too. Love Buck. Anyway, he's a good guy. I like him. He quote tweeted a tweet from the New York Times that the tweet from the New York Times says

Mount Rushmore was built on land that belonged to the Lakota tribe and sculpted by a man who had strong bonds with the Ku Klux Klan. It features the faces of two U.S. presidents who were slave holders. Huh. So we need to just blow it up or what, New York Times?

What are you implying? Oh, we're telling you the facts. So Buck's quote tweet to that tweet was reminding the New York Times that the New York Times building is located on land the Dutch colonists swindled from the native population. They must abandon their stolen land and donate the proceeds to be. I love it. And that's where it's going to get to, which is why take them for their words.

They want to burn it down. They want to start again. They want to everyone just to end it. It is incredible. Also, I liked a quote tweet from Jason Buttrill who told us about the taste of democracy from Reuters, a South Korea's 16-year fight for a green onion breakfast cereal. So apparently Kellogg's thought it was a joke 16 years ago when they voted on cereal that they wanted and they voted for green onion cereal.

And they've been fighting for it ever since. I don't know why and I don't want any of it. But okay, have fun. Have at it. Enjoy your green onion. breakfast cereal and uh quote you to remember the i mean the the the one lady who told us she was going to stab uh the next person her video is just beautiful and she's a beautiful person uh and i just love her from uh where she i got to scroll back here and see exactly where she is from here

she goes a harvard senior threatens to stab anyone who says all All Lives Matter. Have you heard this beautiful person? Wait a minute. Let me... Hold on. Let's go back to the beginning. My cut matter.

The next person who has the sheer nerve, the sheer incitled carcassity to say all lives matter, I'm a stab you. I'm going. I'm going to stab you. And while you're struggling and bleeding out, I'm going to show you my paper cut and say, my cut matters too. So, just a beautiful person. All right.

we can continue on with what I, what I liked on Twitter. Although I think I just do, you know, what I liked on social media because, you know, you can follow me on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR, Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, and Parlor. At Jeffie, Jeff Fisher Radio on Parlor.

So maybe we just, we'll start that new segment coming up on chewing the fat. I've got another segment too that I think, I think I'm going to have happen. Fat facts. And just, you know, when we say don't bog us down with facts on this show, I think we need a, we need an actual segment fat facts so that we do get bogged down with a few of the facts on these stories.

You know, just, you know, for the heck of it. And, you know, some uplifting news. Some uplifting news, okay? The Japanese go. government has lifted the countrywide state of emergency. And, you know, they lifted it, I don't know, weeks ago. It wouldn't exactly, what was the exact date that Japan lifted their countrywide state of emergency?

I asked that and I wait for an answer and there is no answer coming except in my head. The end of May. So they ended it weeks ago, right? I mean, it's been, it's been an amount of time. a good four or five weeks ago, maybe even six weeks ago. And life, and now he urged, I was looking at a story from the main man, the head of Japan, the prime minister. He urged people to remain vigilant and adopt a new lifestyle based on avoidance.

And the three seas, confined and crowded spaces, close human contact, and prevent the second wave of infections. So that's confined and crowded spaces in close human contact to avoid that. However, according to this story, things are, they're not doing that. Train stations are full. They're running packed. There's been all kinds of pictures of cramped train cars. And, you know, using the hashtag crowded train.

so we'll see we'll see what happens we'll see if you know the numbers start going up i was looking to see i wonder what they're you know where they're at numbers wise and uh you know so i opened up the coronavirus numbers and i'm sorry i opened up the numbers i know i got it nobody cares but china is still at 83,537 they do have three new cases and as long as you're you know hear and want to know. And you asked. Okay, you asked. The U.S. has a total of 2,804,731 total cases.

Wow, we're getting close to 3 million. And total deaths are 131,118 here in the United States. Brazil is coming up strong at number two. And China is still at 83,537 with three new cases. And Japan, where the heck is Japan? Japan is 54th on the list. And they have no new cases. And they only have 18,723 total cases.

So at 974 total deaths. And they opened it back up. So that's good news, right? Tell that to the governors that are starting to lock down this country again. Go with Japan's plan, the three Cs. or, you know, how about just go with the American plan and let the Americans make the choice. And so businesses can open back up and we can get back to doing things and be in the America that we love. How about that? How about that? How about that?
