And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Hello. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. I hope you had a very nice Independence Day weekend. I know I did. But I wanted to start off with some actual sad news that we got today. If you're listening live on the 6th of July 2020, Charlie Daniels passed away today. 83 years of age

Charlie Daniels was a extraordinary man had an extraordinary life and he was one of those guys that you just thought well he's going to live forever and he passed away today at 83 none of us live forever I met Charlie Daniels a couple of years ago at the Mercury Studios he was a very nice man

and I remember when I took a picture with him standing next to him that was pre-social distancing I remember thinking, man, he smells really good. Charlie Daniels, rest in peace. All right, a lot happened since we last got together. I'll tell you that. We had the fireworks. There are plenty of complaints from municipalities all around the country

that fireworks were not allowed. But they weren't allowed in California, But we saw the video, or at least if you haven't, you should look for it. The video of Los Angeles homeowners and neighborhoods lighting off huge fireworks. I heard a big boom outside my home on the 4th, and I thought, wow, that's awful loud for a, you know, a neighbor having fireworks. We went outside. My neighborhood had a fireworks show. It was darn near.

It was just down the street in a big, huge, empty lot that we have across the street from our neighborhood. That's where our neighborhood put on a fireworks show. It was awesome. Now, it was on the third. I said it was on the fourth. It was, you know, on the third. We didn't want to celebrate it, you know, on the fourth. But then Fort Worth, the city that I, you know, technically live in, Fort Worth, Texas,

they continued with their fireworks show. They let them, blew them off. And they were, you know, they said, don't come. you know, there's no, there's no deer, you know, there's no watching deer. It's going to be closed and barricaded, so there's no going to be any traffic congestion. So keep your family at the nearer of the home, and we'll try to get it up as high as we can so you can see it. I mean, that was great. So, you know, we did get to see some fireworks this year.

That was, that was nice. And then, uh, we got news that our girl, uh, just Lane Maxwell. Oh, rested. Yes, she was arrested, no problem. You know, Jeffrey Epstein's girl. They got her. She has, I don't know, all kinds of charges against her. Six counts, including conspiracy to entice a minor, transporting minors, and a perjury.

Wow. And she's going down hard. So I would assume that if you. had anything to do with Gisleine and Jeffrey that, I don't know, to save her from getting 35 years in prison, does she start name and names

and bringing out the black book that's, you know, stowed away somewhere? I don't know. But if I'm one of those people, I'm a little worried. There's no doubt about it. it. If I'm one of those people, and I want to be clear about this, I have not. I would be a little worried. No question about it. I mean, one woman, if she, you know, look, it appears that she's

as big of or bigger dirt bag than Epstein was, right? So there's plenty of, plenty of people willing to testify against her and Jeffrey right now. And the FBI is, you know, and the FBI is is, you know, going after her strong. I know they had a big deal about, you know, her being arrested at her a million dollar luxury home in New Hampshire. I don't know why that was such a big deal. Yeah, we arrested her. And just like any other person that we arrest,

they were at their home. I'm kind of confused at why that was, I guess they were just trying to make her be this elite person that was, you know, know, so evil. She's living at this million-dollar home. And they talk to one of the neighbors. Oh, it's a good place to hide.

Is it? That even that must be your place too, sir. Just stop. But they wanted to make her seem like a, you know, an elitist dirtbag that she apparently is. But I still kind of bugged me that they made such a big deal about where they arrested her at. They've been after her for a while.

Apparently the FBI has been, they have been investigated. We've been asking where she was. And I wonder what she was. she's doing and how come they can't find her? Well, apparently, they've been investigating. And they've been on top of it. They've been interviewing people.

They've been raiding people. And so she's kind of, you know, been on the down low. And then when, you know, she quit being on the down low when they said she's at the New Hampshire million dollar hideaway home, we're going to arrest her. And they did at 8.30 in the morning. Hello! And I don't even think she's. got a hello. I think they just banged down the door. So, she's in trouble. And good luck. Good luck to anyone

involved in the Epstein-Juslaid Maxwell case if you're worried. Now, there were plenty of great memes and jokes about her already committed suicide. And did I say great? I meant sad and despicable and I mean, you don't want to be making jokes about that. That's not even funny, okay? But it was kind of funny. And, I mean, she's going to be on high alert safety measures. I'll tell you that.

I mean, she cuts a, knicks a fingernail. She's going to be taken care of. I will, you know, I guarantee you that. It's going to be a, it will be a big deal. If anything happens to her, you can. can count on that. So we will get you, I will dig into the Gis Lane Maxwell case

and we'll find out exactly what all is happening behind the scenes there because if she's the big of dirtbag as they say and it sure looks like she is, she's going down. And if you were a friend, those of you watching live, well, you can see me doing parentheses,

a friend of Jeff and Gislane, You better start sweating. You better start sweating. Does that mean anything to you? Prince Andrew? That was a big story about him canceling his yearly golf outing. That may have had more to do with the coronavirus COVID-19, but it still didn't make him look any better at all.

And the FBI is saying, yeah, we still would love to talk to him. Our doors still open. Oh, okay. Well, good luck. Did you, uh, you happen to see where Kanye West announced his presidential run in 2020? Uh, I don't necessarily believe it. I didn't really believe it when I saw the announcement. And then I saw, you know, Elon say that, you know, he was 100% behind them or supported

him 100%. and that was after they'd been together, right? We had the picture of them together last week or not too long ago. And so he hasn't done anything that would make you believe that he's running for president other than announcing it. You know, he's promoting his new deal with Gap and he's always promoting his self and his music. So it would seem like this is just another promotional stunt. but if it's real, I mean, it kind of feels like it would almost be, almost help get Joe Biden elected. You know, maybe I'm thinking about it all wrong.

And, you know, until he does anything that makes it seem real, I'm not worried about it, right? I mean, Kanye for president. Yay. But I saw where Snoop Dogg. I love Snoop Dog. Me and Dog are tight. Not really.

I've never met him. Although I wouldn't be opposed to meeting Snoop. But he has bashed several prominent black conservatives. He Instagrammed out this weekend.

You know, how the Brady Bunch used to be. You know, the family would come up and the Brady Bunch in the middle and he has a he has a, he has, has, what is it, eight, nine,

prominent black conservatives, Terrence K. Williams, Candice Owens, Herman Kane, Herman Kane, David Harris Jr., Angela Stanton, Paris Dynard, Darryl C. Scott, the Hodge Twins, Diamond and Silk. And he also has a picture of a raccoon with Massa underneath it. And in the middle of that, Graham, are the words the Coon Bunch.

in the shape of the Brady Bunch. Now, holy cow, I know it's Snoop Dog, and I know it's kind of funny. Nobody will think it's funny, but it is kind of funny. And these people are definitely making their mark known or dog wouldn't be coming after them. But if you even think about doing something like that

for from a white person? Oh my gosh. And deservedly so, really. It would be the end of the freaking world. But I guess it's just a joke, right? It's just a joke. He left off Kanye.

I didn't see Kanye in the Coon Bunch. So, you know, so be it. So be it. but okay if that's the way you want to be go ahead I mean I know that they had not too long ago right Kanye

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg were doing some producing together putting together some music so you know another big promotion to get some uh get some news

Dr. Dre's next. You got Kanye running for president. You got Snoop Dog with the Coon bunch. Dr. Dre. Your turn. And you know, I was kind of thinking I was telling a story for whatever reason over the weekend to someone about one moment in my life. And I realized that at that moment, it was a huge. happy moment of my life.

I mean, I was really, really happy at that time because of what happened. And I was in Florida. And I was, I had moved there and, you know, I moved down to Florida and I had any money. I was living at a friend's apartment on the beach. I was, I worked construction. And then I went to work for, and I know it's going to come as to a surprise. I went to work for Win Dixie. So a friend of mine, another friend that I knew was working at, at a Wind Dixie.

said they're hiring and I didn't want to run a jackhammer anymore knocking down brick walls starting at you know 5 a.m. in the morning and I thought you know a grocery store looks a lot better than doing that every day so I went and applied and got the job and I still I didn't have a car I was walking back and forth the the store that I applied at was down the road on another beach if you know Pinellas County Florida you know I was living on Madeira beach and I was working on Treasure Island. Now, there's right side by side, but walking is, you know, a good piece. And it was a good, you know, I don't even remember, but it was at least a 30-minute walk, you know, to and back to where I was living at least every morning and every afternoon.

And I did it because I needed the job and I, you know, I walked and I made a point to myself that I wasn't going to ask for a ride. If someone offered, And they did. I would take it. But I was in my mind, I was always prepared to walk because that was just it. I didn't have a car. And I didn't want to be a burden on anyone. I was working.

I was making a little bit of money. I was trying to save some money to buy an automobile or to buy a vehicle to be able to, you know, I don't know, move around at my own pace without having to walk. And that's what I was doing. So in my mind, I never wanted to ask for a ride. I was always prepared to walk. And so, and I was, one of the guys that I was working with, one of the managers I was working with,

had a car that he was going to sell. And he told me, hey, I've got a car. I'm going to sell. You need a car. I'll sell it to you. And I think it was, I feel like it was a couple hundred dollars for this car. The old Old Old Oldsmobile, Delta 88, four doors. I had the, you know, an 800,

horsepower engine. I mean, I think it was like a 480 or a five. It was a huge engine in it. And it was, you know, one of 60s car. I love, I fell in love with that car. And we went through a lot together. And those are plenty of other stories that I can tell you about after I purchased the car. But at the time, I was like, yes, but I can't, I don't have 200 bucks to give you

up front. So I'll give you like 20 bucks a week. And he was like, okay, fine. And so, you know, I paid him. And after four weeks, I'm giving him $80. And I gave him his $20 payment on the fourth week. And he was just like, okay, well, just come and get it. Just come and get it.

My wife wants it out of the driveway. Just we're good. All right, we're good. You don't want me any more money. Just come and get the car out of my driveway. And I believe that I skipped to his house. He actually gave me a ride to his house. I was so happy.

I mean, I got. the keys to that car and i was a free man i was freer than i had been in a couple of years i mean to tell you i had some money i had a vehicle i was living on the beach in florida i was living large it was one of the happiest times of my life i mean to tell you it was it was i was happy and i got to thinking that you know those are what makes life living right i mean life is what happens when you're waiting for something else to happen right really i mean that's that's what it is so there are times that that's what we you know those are the times that we're looking for there have been many other times and there i was trying to think what are some of the other times before then but that particular time i just

remember being one of the happiest times because I was free man I don't have to count on anybody to go anywhere and I was on my own and it got me thinking that I want to hear from you you should email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com and give me a moment of your life that was happiest and I know that everybody you know my daughter was born or my son was born or you know and those times are are great times. And if that was a time that sticks in your head, great. I'd love to hear about it. But email me, Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com.

And I'll go through them and I'll, you know, they're four on air. Believe me, they will be read, all right? So some of them, you know, some of them might. Some of them might not. Disclaimer there. But I definitely want to, I want to read them. I want to smile about it. I want to be happy about them with you.

And I want to share them. And I may share them on chewing the fat, a podcast, I may share them on Chewing the Fat YouTube channel. I don't know what I'm going to do with them, but I want to have them in my hands to decide because those are the moments that make life worth living. And in the times that we're in right now,

and we'll talk a little bit more about what's happening, Speaking of those times we're in right now during the pandemic. Let's not forget we're still in the pandemic. We need to be reminded of those happy times because just telling that story this past weekend and then telling it again to you, I'm smiling and thinking of what a happy time that was in my life and how happy I was at the time.

And then life happens and you get run down, you get beat down, you think, oh, this sucks, and it is, and then something else happens, right? So just always remember life is what happens when you're waiting for something to happen. And those are the things that, you know, get us through. So anyway, I tell you that so that you email me your story and then we'll go from there. All right? So email the happiest time of your life.

One of them, of course, is what I mean, that you were really feeling free and glad to be living in America and even if it didn't matter to you at the time because you were raised here in America and had that privilege that everyone says that all white people have and oh my gosh, you don't even have to be white to email me at Chewing the Fat

at the Blaze.com. So it doesn't really mean anything to have white privilege because it's just someone being happy with their life. Huh, that's how America really is. So, share it with me. Chewing the fat at the blaze. Give me one of those happiest moments in your life, okay?

Alright, let's go to the break room. I need a drink of ice cold water as it is right now. Oh, man. Did you see... Oh, so good. Did you see where Live Nation is going to have their drive-in concerts? Concerts in the lot? kind of cool

kind of a cool idea concerts in the lot it's going to happen in St. Louis and Nashville Indianapolis and it's the live from the drive-in

drive-in concert series so you can they're trying to reimagine the live music experience during a time of social distancing the live from the drive-in concert series allows you to enjoy concerts from your own individual

tailgating zone safety however is our top priority and each event will comply with all health and safety standards per local jurisdictions and state regulations in order to protect fans, artists, crews, and staff. Let's get back to live music safely and responsibly, of course. It's kind of cool.

They've got your personalized tailgate zone. You know, off the top of my head, I think it's kind of cool. You park and you have a nine feet, a nine-foot spot, and then, you know, another car pulls in, you have your nine-foot spot. So, you know, you have a car and your tailgate spot. Then you have, you know, you have a distance area, and then you have a car, a tailgate spot, and a distance area. So it's about the size of a two-car garage. I don't know how much it's going to cost, although we should find that out because they're saying that you pay one car.

so who's ever in the car with you is good it's what you're paying for uh kind of cool let's see how much this thing costs though shall we ticket prices may fluctuate based on demand at any time resale ticket prices may exceed face value really resale ticket prices may exceed face value okay all right let's see what they're getting All right. Green Zone parking. This is for Brad Paisley. And he's going to be at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater, and this is going to be St. Louis, Missouri, Maryland Heights, Missouri.

Okay, live from the drive-in. Green Zone parking, one ticket per car, four persons max per car, $125 each. Blue Zone parking, one ticket per car, four persons, max per car, $175 each. Red zone parking, one ticket per car, four persons per car, $250 each. Okay. And just so you know, the red zone is closer to the stage. Now, there is on this map from Live Nation, gold zone. Although they don't have gold zone listed.

Are we down here? The red zone? why do they not have the gold zone tickets so I'm guessing what if let's click on gold zone wait let's see what it says hover over gold zone here for a second this section is unreserved general admission

what so okay I guess you get to walk up there as long as your social distance or you park down the road and walk in? Not sure what's happening there. So Brad Paisley, that's how much it costs for Brad Paisley.

And I'm sure the others are pretty close to that all around. So anyway, that's what's coming. I kind of like it. Let's get back to a little bit of live music. Just remember alcohol. Sure, you can bring it, but you've got to be 21. There's no audio recording. Binoculars, of course.

blankets and tarps within your designated tailgate zone. Yep. Cameras with detachable looms zoom lens. No. Cameras, small domestic. Yes, that means your phones. Cans, yes. Coolers, yes.

Hard, large, small. Face masks, of course, yes. No fireworks. Don't do it. No flags. Wow. No flags. and that of any kind

Okay Glass bottles No Grills not prepared Please bring prepared food Food pre-cooked Yes illegal drugs I wonder if they say yes to illegal

drugs Oh wait no they don't Inflatables no Lawn chairs yes of course Pets of any kind No leave the dogs and cats Signs and banners no Tents no

Video recording no Water bottles, yes. Firearms, weapons, knives, no. So, and apparently you're going to be able to have, they're going to have a way for you to get food there as well. So, you know, a simple menu of food items will also be available for purchase, along with non-alcoholic beverages. All right, it'll be interesting to see how it works.

It'll be interesting to see how it works. it'll be interesting to see what happens if someone breaks one of the rules? Does security come and just drag you out of the place? Or, I mean, what happens? What happens if I start waving my red, white and blue flag? Bullet to the head.

Live Nation. Live Nation bullet to the head. Or you get just dragged out. Or you just, you know, I'm sure they'll just take it away. But good luck with that fight. That'll be interesting. It'll be interesting. There's a phone number or somebody can call.

Anyway, good for Live Nation. I think that's a darn good idea. We talked about, you know, drive-ins and getting back to them at an earlier time on chewing the fat. And, you know, it's kind of a good idea. And they're trying to use it and good for them. Boy, the movie theater chains are not happy. I can guarantee you that. No way.

Now, if you show up in Denton County, Texas, you don't have to wear a mask, even though the state says you have to wear a mask now if you leave the house. Governor Abbott, I don't know what his deal is. I don't know what he's doing. I know the numbers are going through the roof on the COVID-19 numbers, and they're going through the roof at, you know, plenty of places around the country. Although death counts are way down. And two of the big counties in Texas that are through the roof and they're telling people that our hospitals are full, are down south by the border. But that's just a coincidence, I'm sure.

But in Denton County, which is right here, close to where I live, in Tarrant County, Texas, the sheriff has said that, no, look, my deputies are not going to be enforcing this mask order. Okay. They've got other things to do. It's up to you to wear a mask.

Oh, wait. what? You mean to tell me that I have a choice? Yes, that's what he says. We're not going to be enforcing that. Sorry, if you don't want to wear a mask in my county, we're not going to be giving you warnings. We're not going to be giving you fines.

We're not going to do any of that. Well, my gosh, local Karen cannot have that. One of the local moms is all. all wound up. Jessica Luther Rummel has launched a GoFundMe page. She wants the sheriff removed from office. Removed from office for not enforcing the mask rule. Now, he's enforcement.

He's just, he's just, wear a mask. If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. If you don't want to wear a mask, my deputies have other things to do. Now, the Texas local government code provides in this story talks about a legal remedy for residents to remove an elected official who refuses to uphold the law. Well, isn't it funny that the mask mandate isn't a law? Huh.

Huh. So, good luck with that. Sheriff Tracy Murphy from Denton County, Texas. Bless your heart for standing up. for the actual American way. Tell us how bad it is. Tell us we would do well with wearing a mask. But we're not telling you to wear a mask.

It's up to you. Now, as of last Friday, I guess I could check the GoFundMe link to see how it's going. She only had like 90 people signed up. She's pretty good. Pretty good now. She's got 262 donor. in Denton County

and she's raised $6,402 for the movement of removing the sheriff. Well, you can't until the next election rolls around because he hasn't said he was going to

not follow any laws. He just said his deputies weren't going to enforce the masked mandate sue. Good for you. Good for you, Sheriff Tracy Murphy of Denton County, Texas. And look, sheriffs are making moves all over here.

The Florida sheriff saying that he'll deputize citizens to, if people start riding in his county. His county is just outside of Jacksonville, Florida. So I'm sure many people who work in Jacksonville live in his county. So I'm sure it's a pretty full account. county. But, uh, and oh my gosh, he is an African-American, uh, black man who is a sheriff of that county. And he's saying, uh, no, we're not going to be putting up with the riots in my county. Uh, so, I mean, you do have some sheriffs standing up for a little bit of sanity. Just a

little bit, though. And I saw some of the, we stopped. I went down to, uh, just outside of Austin this weekend to, uh, now my wife wanted to go see your grandchildren. So, you know, what am I going to do? Say no. So we went down, you know, spent the weekend with my wife's grandchildren. And, uh, so when we were coming back, we obviously stopped and got some gas. And we're at the gas station in, uh, in Austin. And, uh, so we pull in. And it's busy. Busy as heck. And it was busy everywhere we went. I mean, there's no people saying we're going to stay home, which makes me think that

a lockdown order is coming. That they're going to lock it down again. But, you know, I... That's another story. But I didn't see anybody, except for me, saying, hey, you know what? I don't want to...

But, uh, I mean, I went from my house to my wife's grandchildren's house. I didn't get out. Uh, no. as they did in my vehicle and that was it. But anyway, so we pull in this gas station. Now, the truck in front of us,

the guy gets out of the truck with a mask on. All right. The car over that pulled in after we pulled in, two people in it. I appeared to be husband and wife. Both have a mask on, the husband wearing it down below his nose, but they're both wearing a mask.

All right. The truck next to me, the lady gets out, she's not wearing a mask, pumping gas, bless her heart. The car in the car, and then laying over to our left, the guy pulls into the tank,

gets out of his car, doesn't have a mask, goes into the building to pay. I don't know if he bought lottery tickets, cigarettes and gas, or whatever, but he goes into the building. They didn't throw him out on his head.

He went in, he came out with a receipt, started pumping gas. So I don't know what to tell you. I saw people going in and out of stores, all of everybody wearing masks. And, you know, the store security there, with, you know, ready to drag you out on your heels if you weren't wearing a mask.

So this mask mandate is completely out of control. And, you know, do we, do we want the, you know, the special disclaimer? Yes, businesses can decide whether they want you to wear masks inside their business. This is America, I know. But it really isn't now because now we have the government mandating that we can't even, we can barely leave our home without wearing a mask, right? And you can, if you're in an automobile, if you're in an automobile or surrounded by people that aren't social distance who aren't with you, you have to wear a mask whether you're outside or not. I mean, it's just incredible.

So I don't know what to tell you. It's just strange to me. Just really strange to me. And I don't understand. I do kind of understand maybe being in your car wearing a mask if you were coming from someplace close and you forgot to take it off or you were just going to. leave it on. You know, like if you were shopping at, you know, at a Walmart or a Sam's Club and you were getting gas at the gas station that's out on the outer lot of that particular store. So you came out of the Walmart or the Sam's Club or the Costco and you were wearing a mask and you just got in

your car and you said, I'll just leave it on until I get to the gas station. And then, you know, you pump gas. I don't know. I don't know how to make of it. There's no sense to me that you need to wear a mask while you're pumping gas. You're social distanced. Even if you're not, the guy on the other side of the tank is social distance from you. And there's gasoline fumes in between you. So you should be fine. You should be fine.

But, you know, they're trying to blame it on restaurants. You know, people are going into restaurants. I was hearing stories of they make you wear a mask walking into the restaurant and waiting to get into the restaurant. But once you're in and you sit down. everybody takes their mask off. Well, that's, that's just defeating the purpose. Or is it?

I mean, are you safe? I don't know. I guess so. Look, if you're not sick, if you're not sick, then, and you're wearing a mask, and I'm not sick, and I don't want to wear a mask, we should both still be fine. It shouldn't be the end of the world if someone doesn't wear a mask. And every order, every mandate, every rule,

has the health disclaimer in it so they don't get you know busted by the law police and yet nobody enforces that if you wear a mask if you don't wear a mask you can't come in

but it says that you have to let me in even if because if I have a health issue I don't have to wear one so get out I just seriously I don't understand it And I will say, you know, maybe it's a good idea to wear a mask if you can. We have, you know, every still often, we have a case of, you know, boobonic plague breakout here in the U.S. Particularly, I feel like there's a place in Colorado that continues to have it.

But we just got news that a case, a suspected case, I should say, of bubonic plague in China. So we've got that. from China, which is, I mean, that's good news, right? And we got news from Florida, where a rare case of brain destroying amoeba has been confirmed. That, I know, happens ever so often, right? I mean, some person goes swimming in a lake, and the amoeba swims in, you know, some orifice.

They're weird, they're ear, usually. Sure, that's what it. it is and uh wherever you jumped in and then the uh amoeba swims in that uh in that orifice and then you get uh and then you you get the the brain eating florida so uh you know we have that look to look forward to too so there's good stuff happening everywhere you go there's good stuff happening everywhere you go and don't even worry about the statues being torn down and stuff like that don't even worry about it and if there is another lockdown. Here's a thought. If there is another lockdown, who's going to

follow it? I mean, there's already restaurants saying, uh, no. We're not going to follow your rules. And there was another big story about gyms in Arizona, not following their rules. So if they're going to start shutting places down

in California or other states around the country again, there's going to be plenty of businesses saying, um, no. How about no? And when that happens, uh, oh my gosh, then now you're talking about businesses saying we need to be open, my friends, uh, we need to be open for business. We're following all your mandates and rules and everything else and social distancing and everything. We've got to be open for business. We've got to become back to life. So we'll see. We'll see. I'll see. I've, You know, we'll see what happens.

I know I feel like Governor Abbott here in Texas is trying to walk that line. I know Florida is trying to walk the line. You know, there's plenty of other states that are really trying to walk down that line. But the states that are, you know, trying to go back to lockdown orders, good luck. We followed your rules for three months, if not more. And it's time to get America back. running again. Isn't it?

I mean, there's plenty of stuff that we can get to today as we head into the week. There's going to be some great stories as the week continues. I mean, we have a national coin shortage. Do we? Do we?

I'll prompts us, you know, these supermarkets to limit cash transactions. Is it because of a coin shortage? Okay. If you say so, we'll talk a little bit about that as the week progresses. Don't forget we got the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians. They're coming to change their names. The Redskins might actually change this time. I mean, Dan Snyder, the owner of the Redskins, said in 2013,

we'll never change the name. It's that simple. Never, you can use caps. And he's stuck to his guns on that. However, I will say that that may not be. hold true in 2020 because they're undergoing a thorough review of the team's name right now.

Never mind the Cleveland Indians and all the other teams. I mean, they want the Washington Redskins name changed now. And they may win this time. And how may they do it? Money. Money. FedEx started the ball rolling, right? Because they paid $205 million.

million dollars for the naming rights to the stadium in 1999. They made it clear last week they want the team to change his name. On Thursday, Nike appeared to pull all the Redskins gear from its online store. You probably still get it at Washingtonredskins.com or whatever their website is through the NFL. You know, just go to the NFL.com. I'm ever, you might know, after you're done, you know, singing the Black National Anthem for every game in week one of the first of this season as they play the Black National Anthem and then the National Anthem before every game. It's great. They're doing everything they can to, you know, create harmony

between the teams and the fans. But now 87 investors and its shareholders representing $620 billion in assets called on FedEx. Nike and PepsiCo to cut ties to the team unless Snyder pursued a name change. Now, so he's pursuing it right now, right? That's what he's doing. The wording there is kind of, kind of tricky because they say unless he pursued a name change. So, and then they announced that they're undergoing a thorough review of the team's name. So, okay, I guess then, uh, you're good to go.

Right? They are reviewing on a thorough review of the team's name. So no need to pull out your $620 billion of money. We still want to want to have your money. So, okay, Dan Snyder. I mean, and look, the pressure he's got to be under is huge, right? I mean, just huge. And so do I blame him if he changes it?

I mean, I guess you can. I guess you can. But I don't know that I do. I mean, he's trying to stay alive just like everybody else, right? And one of my favorite stories from the weekend. I didn't know this could happen. And I think I might have to go for it. As a Japanese man who holds the world's only master's degree

in Ninja Studies. I know, right? I know. So he's become the first person in the world to hold a master's degree in Ninja Studies. He completed a graduate course that involved learning basic martial arts and how to stealthily climb mountains.

He's 45. He spent two years studying the history, traditions, and fighting techniques of ninjas. Now, you remember that ninjas are the mysterious covert agents of feudal Japan. And he studied this at my university, M.I. University. Known for their secrecy and high-level skills, ninjas were masters of espionage, sabotage, assassination, and guerrilla warfare, dating back to at least the 14th century. So,

Mitsuhashi said ninjas were also independent farmers, and he moved to the mountainous province of Iga, 220 miles from the Japanese capital of Tokyo, to better understand how they lived. And he, uh, he said he now grows his own rice and vegetables. He runs a local inn.

He teaches martial arts. And, you know, of course, the art of ninja at his own dojo. And he, is the first in the world. The research center in Aiga is the first in the world dedicated to ninja studies.

And students can also learn traditional fighting and survival skills, including basic martial arts and how to traverse mountainous areas while remaining undetected. But so, he's saying living independently for your own survival and prosperity is important for modern Japan. important for a lot of people these days. The world for each of us is not global, but local. The era of globalism is over.

Okay. That is Janichi Mitsuhashi. At the age of 45, first person in the world to hold a master's degree in Ninja Studies. I know. I know. Thinking about maybe, I wonder if he's giving me. an online course.

So before I leave, I want to tell you about an email I got from Dominic, who emailed me at Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. He's upset at me, and he is taking me to task. So I'll read you the email, and then I will, I'll comment on that email. On your 630 podcast, you said that Seattle and Portland were under Jay Inslee's governorship. Alert! Portland is in Oregon. I guess the Michigan public school system or wherever the hell you went had a lousy geography curriculum.

Below is proof positive that you're a dope. And then there's a picture of a map where it shows Portland in Oregon and, you know, the state line of Washington just above that. And Seattle is, you know, obviously north of there. In parentheses, he puts Love the Show. Well, Dominic, I apologize for being such a dope, okay? I don't remember. I guess I was talking about the protest of the Chaz or Chop Zones and a Portland attempting to do it.

I don't know what I was thinking of. I apologize for making such a horrendous mistake. should have never happened. I should be drug out into the street and stoned. And I apologize, there's no need for you to hurt me, though. And hurt, you know, the public school system of Michigan because of me being such a dope. That hurt.

That hurt, Dominic. And that hurt a lot. So, I mean, you could well understand. I really wanted to, you know, have, have Jay Inslee's governorship in Seattle the problem in Washington. I really wanted that to happen.

And in my mind, it already had. And Portland is right there. I mean, it's not like it's in the middle of the state or all the way down at the bottom. It's right there, almost on the border. In fact, there probably is a, you know, it's probably the border county. So, I mean, it's close.

It's right there. So, I said I was sorry, but You know what, I don't know if I am or not I don't know if I am or not.
