And now, a Blaze Media podcast. Hello. Are we recording? Are we on? Just taking your head, yes, so the world can see. Yeah, yeah. For those of you watching and listening live on the 30th of July 2020, welcome to chewing the fat.

Huge day, a huge day across the country today. It's National Cheesecake Day, a day you can celebrate any day, really. It's National Chili Dog Day, a day you can celebrate any day, really. National Intern Day, a serious day you can celebrate any day, really. celebrate any day. National whistleblower day. And national father-in-law day.

Wow. I mean, does it get any bigger than that? I think not. And it's also World Day, and seriously, a serious big thing. It's World Day against trafficking in persons, which is, I mean,

huge, right? I mean, we have, we've talked to Tim Ballard before, head of our rescue. You can go to our rescue.org and see what they're doing. They've got a big thing going on now with the rise-up concert that you can participate in. I believe the concert is sold out. You're going to be able to watch it online, though. I mean, and you can catch an interview with Ballard on my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. I mean, he's he's everywhere, at least in, you know, all the circles that I see today promoting a World Day against trafficking in persons. And it's, you know,

it's a huge, important day. And I hope that you support our rescue in any way that you possibly can. So we have, we had, look, I'm going to go down some of the things that make today a huge day. I mean, we have to play the open, though, because I get hollered at if I don't let the open play. So here you go. So we had the launch this morning. we're headed to Mars but you know I find it amazing that

we had China launched to Mars we had the UAE launched to Mars and now we're zero launching to Mars and liftoff as the countdown to Mars continues the perseverance of humanity launching the next generation of robotic explorers to the red planet

now let's be you and gone to close loop control. Up on 30 seconds into flight. The RD-180 is throttling down as expected. Engine response looks good. And Mach 1, Atlas 5 is now supersonic. Now I follow NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover on Twitter. And it tweeted right after this that I'm past the bumpiest part of the ride.

Goodbye to my protective faring and hello to the great beyond. So we're headed to Mars. I just want, you know, maybe China. And maybe the UAE to remember that even if they get there a couple of days before us, just like the moon, the planets belong to us. We're the United States of America. I know you all think it's a global thing, but no, no, that's not the way it's going. Okay? Not going to happen.

And we have, I mean, today, I told you, how do you celebrate? How do you celebrate National Intern Day? Do we know? Yeah, I know. Ask Bill Clinton. I'm sorry? Ask Bill Clinton. That's what I'm saying.

That's the only way that you think of National Intern Day. Absolutely. You asked Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky and a little bit of Hillary to see, you know, if you're in kind of that relationship where you're married and you celebrated National Intern Day the way that Bill did, then you have to make sure that you ask Hillary if you're that part of the, you know, of the relationship,

if you've been Hillary or if you're Bill. So that's the only way you can do it, right? Well, I guess. I mean, they're telling me that I need to encourage companies to celebrate empower and recognize interns. Okay. I'm fine with that.

Remember not long ago where they made it almost, impossible to be an intern for companies, but we still have a day to celebrate them, so that's good. And whistleblowers day, no, we're not talking about the crossing guards. No, we're not talking about the referees

out on the field with their little whistles. We're talking about those people who report corruption when they see it. So honor and support the people who speak up about fraud, abuse. Or waste.

I would not mind celebrating that, but I expected to be fair across the board because we put some whistleblowers on pedestals and then the other ones hashtag Clinton bout account. So can we treat all whistleblowers the same way? Speaking of pedestals, today is World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. Did I mention that? You did. which is kind of weird because that brings the whole show down. You're taking a page out of Glenn Beck's Christmas speeches. We're all having fun.

The next thing you know we're talking about baby body parts being sold and kids are being trafficked. I know. So let's just let that one go. Okay. That's fine. We'll let that one go. Now, I didn't know about the hot dog. I didn't know about the hot dog ones, so I'm going to celebrate that today.

I'm about to... Yeah, I'm about on the back, make some chili dogs, and I'm in. That does sound like something to celebrate, to be honest. Absolutely. You know what? Send us your pictures on social media. I want to see you guys eat some chili dogs. Homemade, don't be cheating out there.

Don't be going to 7-Eleven and getting a chili dog from 7-11. Or Sonic. Or Sonic. Thank you. That was the one there. Sonic. Don't go to Sonic. We know our Sonic, because there's no way in the hell.

You have a five-foot-long hot dog sitting in your fridge and you just cooked it for this day. Well, that's not necessarily true. Wait, do you have one? Most people don't have long hot dogs. Well, see, not everybody can afford a Sam's Club membership like you. Well, I'm just saying a chili dog and a cheesecake sound pretty good. Oh, absolutely. Jeffie, tomorrow is Friday.

Saturday. I'm going to go to the farmer's market. I told you this last week. I'm going to get you that cheesecake on the amazing jar. Oh, yeah, in a jar. Yes. And we'll celebrate on Saturday, National cheesecake. Because you're right.

National cheesecake. Celebrate again. Well, oh, okay. But you were out. I was going to give your credit. You celebrate National Cheesecake Day every day. Any day. Any day you can celebrate.

There's nothing wrong with a nice coconut mango cheesecake. or a chocolate cheesecake or a raspberry cheesecake. Oh, now I'm hungry for cheesecake. I know. Does your wife know how to make cheesecake? Yeah. Okay. I say that hesitantly because I don't know that she ever has.

Okay. My grandma has tried to teach me how to make cheesecake, but it's a, it's, it's, it takes time. But I can't. You know what? My father, now you got me thinking about stuff that gets made in my house and that drives me insane is Flan, Flan, whatever you want to call it. That's a, I never have liked that much. I mean, I eat it to make the people feel good when they make it.

But I'd rather have cheesecake. I'd rather have cheesecake. So congratulations to the people. that live in the in the Arkansas town of Harrison, the swinging town of Harrison. By the way, Jeffrey, by the way, I'm going to leave that space right there because that tension of waiting for that town in Arkansas was so good that I love that. I was like, oh, my gosh, what is the town? What is it? Oh, I felt a tinkle. Everybody that, Everybody that is listening right now was at the edge of their seat.

A couple of people hit the rail, because that suspense was only a pro in radio is able to bring out that much emotion. That's what I'm here for. On the town in Arkansas. Oh, man, you had me going. I stopped typing. I stopped paying attention because I needed to know. I'm like, man, this town is legit. Well, thank you, and that's what I'm here for.

So the city council met last week to discuss turning people's water off because they weren't able to make payments. So they realized that, oh, yeah, customers are having a tough time due to the coronavirus's financial difficulty issues that they're having. But you know what, tough. We warned them. we're just going to turn their water off. And they did. We told them we're going to start cutting them off. So that's what we're going to do.

So about 500 people in the city were either going to have their water cut off or some did already have their water cut off. So one of the citizens donated 15 grand to the city to pay the past due bills. And I thought, well, that's really nice. That's really nice. Now, I don't know how long that turns the water back on for these people. You know, does it turn the water back on for a month? And then they couldn't pay the previous bills before.

They just start not paying again and milk it for another two or three months? I don't know. I don't know. I know that they have a project called. There's a project that should be available probably in, you know, every city across America. But this one's from Detroit, the Detroit Water Project, where anyone, anyone. Detroit is such a nice city. They're willing to take money from anyone to pay.

a resident's outstanding water bill and you can do it online so and you can pay less than what they owe and you still get their water you pay their bill for them i think that's extra special and then there was a city reported in indiana where a donor paid over 200,000 on water and sewer bills for the month of april alone did you did you know i know you live in an ivory tower and you don't see us peasants down here and me and you share the same you know, Fort Worth utility when I don't know what the water comes from. I just know it comes

into my house. Exactly. Exactly. Like I said, like I said, you don't worry about us little peasants down here and how we get water and how we're supposed to pay our bills. But did you get the letter? And I don't know why I'm asking this because I already know the answer because that's not my job. That's Amber's job. But maybe Amber brought

it up. I don't know. I would have brought it up if I was your wife. But that during the months of COVID, you didn't have to pay you water bill. Did you know that in the city of Fort Worth? Wait, what? Yes. No, actually, we did. I did see that. Oh, so you did see that. Oh, okay. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. There were plenty of

businesses that were allowing that. But if you, and I thought that was great. But if you were able to still afford to pay your bills, I guess the argument would be, pay the bills. The argument against paying the bill would be use the money to invest in something. that will make you money and then when you have to pay the bill again, pay it off. Right? So that you've made, you put that money to work for you instead of working for the water department of the city.

I mean, that's a pretty fair argument. If you're able to pay it, why not use that money to make you money and then pay them when they come knocking at the door wanting their money? And then you've used that money for you. I mean, that's the smart move. And people who are worth billions, that's what they do. do. That's exactly why people like me aren't worth a billion dollars. You make fun of ivory toweredness, but I just figured pay the bill. Yeah, absolutely. And me too. Pay the bill. And we talked

about it. We talked about New York saying you can't pay your rent. Yeah. Like how many of those, oh, and you can't evict us. Okay, fine, fine. You can't evict us. You can't pay rent. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to all these stuff. And then now the mayor or the governor of New York, one of those who, let's say both said this, that if COVID continues, they're going to have to raise toll, the toll rolls, you have to pay more, and then it'll be more tax that you have to pay. I'm like, you see, that's, that's what we're talking about. But they don't have anybody using the damn bridges going into the city anyway.

Yeah, you got Uber, you got the taxis, you got Lyft. And like I said, nobody's going to the cities. You still go into the city. But oh, and then public transportation, like if you take the train or the bus or whatever they have in New York, that also is going to go up in order to, I don't know, pay all those people that you haven't paid? Yeah. So somehow you, and I just, I've never understood about the defer, what is the defer payment? I never understood that. I just pay.

If you still have a job and nothing has changed, like we have, we had listeners that nothing has changed in their life. they're still working, income is coming. Guess what? Then you're one of the few that gets to continue to stimulate the economy. Keep pain. We can't. Yeah. Well, look, and look, the chickens have got to come home to roost at some point.

I like that saying. I really like that saying. And they, I mean, they have to. And we're going to have a huge crisis guaranteed. We're going to have a huge crisis on water getting cut off, power getting cut off, evictions out of. I think that's going to be the big one. In 2021,

Everywhere, Fisher, and I know you're thinking the same thing. Everywhere, eviction, eviction, eviction, eviction. A high homelessness. Homelessness is going to go on the up. And then Motel 6 and Quality Inn, all those are going to be homeless motels. Yeah.

Look, they're already having all kinds of problems. in New York, New York and San Francisco alone. I talked about the story, I don't know, a couple weeks ago or whatever, that they, that they, uh, they're, they're having an issue with all the homeless people in the hotels. Yeah. I know that's what you were referring to. Yep. And it's, and it's, I mean, it's just horrible, horrible.

What, what we joked about at the time when they first started talking about it is coming true. And now, once again, and that's in San Francisco. It's just a disaster. The hotels are being torn apart. They're being just destroyed with homeless people and drugs and the filth that they have brought with them. And now we're having, you know, there was a big story today about a church in New York, just one church, one church that is upset because they're, they have their guy, their cleaning guy. I'm sorry, their maintenance man.

strong maintenance man that has to be 10 hours a day shoeing people away from the front of their stupid church because the homeless guys are out there doing drugs pooping on the stairs

they have to close the entrance doors because people were going inside to use it as a restroom it's just and it's going to get worse it's going to get worse. You had and this is the one that, you know, a bunch of our listeners sent to us because I remember, and it's one of those stories that you can't forget.

Back in April, Jeffrey, do you remember the homeless man that died at the hotel for quarantine? He was put there and then now the hotel is in quarantine. It was in Kent, Washington, a homeless man who was being diagnosed with COVID-19, was found dead at the former Ecolage Motel that the city turned. into a quarantine site. I mean, they have to. No, they don't have to. No, no, no, they don't have to.

What do you mean they have to? No, no, I mean, if someone is sick at this place, I mean, every place else has got to be quarantined. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, but I'm talking about like the, according to the King County officials, the Eco Lodge was being used as a quarantine site. And this homeless man died in that quarantine. Seidtite. Of course. Of course they did. I mean, look, this, the guy that, you know, the guy, the cleaning guy, you know, the maintenance man at the church, who's spending 10 hours a day or more shooing people away from the church. I mean, his quote, his quote, every day I'm fighting these guys, I've had to put my foot in a few asses. Right now I'm a security guard. Okay. He better ask for a

raise. That's what I'm saying. Okay. Apparently this neighborhood, they just dropped homeless people off for this building. They just brought a busload of homeless people in, and there was there some building that was supposed to be the housing place, like hotels in San Francisco. And I'm, you know, I'm sure they have it in every city across America now where there's buildings that are designated homeless buildings. And they just pull up and drop them off. So your neighborhood now has, you know, three or four hundred new homeless people live in there. Now, technically, I guess they're not homeless because you've given them a building to stay in. But, I mean, look, looking down from my ivory tower, as Chris says, in this neck of the woods here in Fort Worth, Texas, there's a mall or a shopping center that is, you know, was one of the, you know, busiest shopping areas in this area.

and now we're starting to see homeless people there. That cannot stand. I won't have it. I won't have homeless people in this area. I don't want to see them. If I don't see them, it's not happening. Right? Right.

What I thought. And before we go to the break room, look, you want to talk about not paying bills and evictions. You know, I know that on the same day that Texas has been named the state with the best business climate in America. Okay. I know Governor Greg Abbott has announced, you know, the ranking and he's, you know, all happy and patting himself on the back and promoting what a great job. state of Texas is doing. Yeah, you still have to wear a mask, though, don't you, Greg? You're still mandating that we wear a mask if we walk outside of our house. But that's another story. But I will say that just as a side note to that, the U.S. economy only shrank 32.9% in April to June. So don't

worry about it. It's only the deepest decline since the government began keeping records. That's it, though. That's only three times more severe than, you know, when it dropped only 10% in 1958. That's it, though. That's it. Don't even worry about it. Yeah, none of that could count as, I mean, we, no joke.

Like we said in the previous, you know, this previous story about eviction. and people not being able to pay their water bills and their power bills and whatever other bills they have. I mean, we need to really get this country back open for business again. I just watched a stupid show. Remember, what was the show? Oh, the numbers. It was a stupid TV show called Numbers.

And it was, you know, FBI and they get crammering all. and the brothers, you know, the one brother is the FBI guy, and the other brother is the superpower brain, and he figures out, you know, all the numbers surrounding all the crime. He's called a mathematician. Yeah, whatever, the numbers guy. No, no, no, you better honor him with the proper, it's mathematician. Yeah, yeah.

And so the one episode that I watched is some company has let out some Spanish flu, two versions of the Spanish flu because he wanted to get the rights to the vaccine. He wanted the government to pay him money to create the vaccine. But during this whole thing, they're talking about locking down, you know, having to shut down parts of, parts of neighborhoods and seeing where the virus will go and how it goes out from where it begins. and in the show, people are saying, well, we can't. I mean, tough. I'm still going out. I don't care.

People who get the flu all the time. We get colds. We get stuff. People still go out. You just have to be safe and be smart about it. Thank you. Thank you. Look how far we've come from that mindset.

Well, not just that Fisher. is we all know that we all know in the back of our head we all know that the government is controlling us and if you want to go down that rabbit hole blah blah blah but fisher i want to you know if this was a court of law you as a judge will say chris what evidence do you have that will make you think of something that you know the government is pushing all this i want to direct you you honor to exhibit A, an episode from the Simpsons. I'd like to call to order this secret conclave of America's media empires. We're here to come up with the next phony baloney crisis to put Americans back where they belong,

and dark rooms glued to their televisions too terrified to skip the commercials. Well, I think... NBC, you are here to listen and not speak. I think we should go with a good old-fashioned public health care. A new disease. No one's immune. It's like the summer of the shark, except instead of a shark, it's an epidemic. And instead of summer, it's all the time. Now, I hate to be the guy who derails what everybody else loves.

He loves being that guy. But, Janice, we do have standards. This can't be a made-up disease. The only moral thing to do is release a deadly virus into the general public. We do have something we've been holding on to, but it hasn't been tested. Get over here, NBC. Get it over here. Well, we certainly believe in testing.

but I oh oh and there it is there you have it come on fisher okay as the judge I would now hit the gavel and you know clear the courtroom and tell people that are guilty but I don't have a gavel however I do have one of our listeners who is making me a gavel huh that's what I get out of the whole thing that's what I get out of the whole is this is it a same government boggant Is this the same person that made you the badge? Or is this a different person? No, this is a different person, I think.

You've got to be careful with that because I'm not positive about that. Because if it's the same person, that's great. But I don't think it is. I think it's a different person. No, it's a different person because I had to send him the address, right? The person that made me the badge already has the address. I just go to the break room just in case. All right, let's go to the break room.

We'll get something to drink, shall we? It's an ice cold. Oh, my gosh. So good. So, I mean, if you're listening live on the 30th of July 2020, Herman Kane has passed away from, they say, COVID-19 at 74. We lost Bill Montgomery from COVID-19, co-founder of Turning Point USA. passed away.

And my favorite was the headline for his death was co-founder of conservative student group, Turning Point USA. Bill Montgomery has died from complications of the coronavirus. He was 80. He was 80. Okay. It's not like, you know, Bill was 18-year-old kid. Okay.

So, but that's how we turn the narrative, right? We turn the narrative on that. Anyway, rest in peace to both those guys. And they will both be missed. And it's too bad, right? I mean, it's just, this is, this is what's going to happen when we have this disease out there. And we all have to be as careful as we can. Just make sure you wear a mask everywhere you go.

And now you have to wear goggles. And now you have to wear a mask and goggles and a shield and gloves. And don't go outside unless you're wearing it. We're close to that. We're close to being made to wear some sort of hazmat suit when we go outside. What do you mean we're close? It already happened. Dr. Fauci did an interview on Instagram with, I think it was ABC.

And did you not see that interview? I miss the Dr. Fauci interviews. I care so much about what he has to say. Keep reading. I'm going to play this for you. If he tells me that I have to wear a asthmats suit, we're going to shut this country down. I've had enough of it if he tells me that.

I swear. I think we're going to get to a point where eye protection is recommended. You know, it might. I mean, if you really want perfect protection of your mucosal surfaces, just for your audience, Jen, as you know, you have mucosia in the nose, you coeser in the mouth, but you also have mucosa in the eye.

And that's one of the... For your first, don't you hate when you get mucosia? You know, first of all, we know that already, and we made the jokes about it already forever, and now they're going to make the jokes real. We're going to make the jokes real. Go on. You know, theoretically, you should protect all the mucosal surfaces. So if you have goggles or an eye or an eye shield, you should use it.

I mean, it's not universally recommended, but if you really want to be complete, you should probably use it if you can. It's just that it's so easy for people to just make a cloth mask. Wait. Right. Wait, hold on. But wasn't the CDC, no, I'm sorry, I'll take that back. Wasn't it the stupid doctor general, the surgeon general, that said we need to make our own masks? We can.

Yeah, we can. So, dude, I'm just going to go outside. He was his point was, if I remember right, I mean, his point was that everybody should wear a mask. And even if you're financially strapped, you know, you can make your own masks out of stuff so that you're able to wear masks. Yes. And that was his point. So you don't feel like, well, I can't afford to buy all these masks. And he's right.

You know, I mean, that's why they made a big deal out of, you know, wrapping underwear around your face. And, you know, and then Haynes said, hey, that's a pretty good idea. We'll just make our own. And we've got the Haynes underwear masks now you can buy. And the packages, I love them. Are good buddies at my pillow? Remember, they started making masks too. He's created, yeah, I mean, he went out of, he was creating masks for the medical people, right?

Because, and because we were told that the medical people needed the mask. And we were shorting us short on masks, which is what got him turned around to making those masks. And then by the time he started making all these masks, it had changed from medical to everybody in the world is going to wear a mask when they step outside of their house or will shoot you. Dead. Okay, well, they haven't gone that far. Yet. All right, I know I try to stay away from political stuff, and we just heard from Fauci a little bit. I have to just remind you that you're going to hear everywhere. I wish sometimes our president, Donald Trump, would just zip it, but he doesn't.

And even if he just would stop, I don't know. What he should do is tweet something to a separate Twitter hold. and then go back later and go, okay, I can tweet this. Or go back later and say, no, I don't need to tweet that. Because, you know, he tweeted about

with universal mail-in voting, not absentee voting, which is good. 2020 will be the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history. He's right there. I mean, I don't disagree with him. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA.

I don't disagree with him yet. This is where he should have stopped. the tweet should have ended right there just tweet great embarrassment to the USA tweet delay the he goes on though he couldn't stop himself delay the election until people can

properly securely and safely vote tweet he shouldn't have done that he should have it should be blah it should have stopped because now all we're going to hear is oh oh yep the dictator wants to

change and stop the vote extend the vote tag people's rights away that's what the dictator wants I mean why do you do on Mr. President I do what are you doing I do have a question for you because if we were to do

mail-in ballots it will be through through my people through your people right is there my people at the USPS yes okay and did you see the experiment that was done to your

people about mailing ballots. Chris, we can't be expected to be 100% all the time. Okay. So this person here sending ballots, I'm going to give you the quick notes, but I want to go and we want to jump in right here at this point when he goes and pick up the mailing ballots that they mail to themselves. Okay. In the following week, we checked our PO box for the results.

Mail pickup notice, there's more. When we went to collect everything, though, we didn't take that there for you? Nothing? Most of our votes seem to be lost. That's all I have there right now. You're short. You're totally short.

I'm pleading you on this. I'm going to ask for a manager. And explain ourselves before someone finally found our votes. They were somewhere else. There were somewhere else. One, two. We soon discovered another problem, mis-sorted mail, two pieces of it. We got a birthday card.

From Mike to Ronnie. Have a sweet B-day. Get it, there's a B on top. When the birthday greetings ended... 12, 13. We found a bigger issue. 21% of our votes hadn't materialized after four days. Oh, no.

And the batch we'd mailed a week prior? Some of those were missing two. So of our 100 ballots, 97 arrived, which sounds pretty... good unless you consider the fact that that means three people who tried to vote by mail in our mock election were in fact disenfranchised by mail any comments from the future governor of the united states post office we cannot be expected to be a hundred percent we can only strive to get to a hundred percent and sure we have an issue from time to time on uh misappropriated mail uh uh But we're still the most accurate thing you've got.

Thank you, good night. No more questions. I know. I know I said, I believe everything he said is right up to, and he should have stopped that embarrassment to the USA tweet. He should have deleted the delay the election until people could probably securely and safely vote. And back here, yes, here Chris Cruz,

with you and the fat reporting. I want to ask another question to the governor of the USPS. Yes. Why are you trying to reach an agreement and have reached an agreement for a $10 billion loan from the Treasury Department should the need arise? Why are you asking for $10 billion? We need the money to secure things that are going on with our company. Look, we've ran in, look, we have run in the Red for quite some time. and we've continued to try to keep up our diligent service around the country. Many people don't realize that the mail just never stops.

And it's a very difficult job. So we need this money to enhance our work for the people. Why is that a problem? By the way, disagreement comes... No more questions. No more questions. Disagreement comes right after the USPS. tells the government that we're expecting to run out of money by September.

I know. I said we've been running. We've been tough. Look, I've asked to be in charge of that joint for years. We wouldn't have this problem if I was. I'll tell you that right now. We'd be closed if I was. I'm sorry.

We just shut down. They have seen an increase of e-commerce, which is delivery packages, increased from 20 to 50% and in April from 60 to 80% 20 to 50% in April 60 to 80 in May so how is it not being profitable yet

USPS? I'm not sure I haven't I personally have not seen the books I would like to say that we should they should make a better deal with these companies i.e. Amazon with the head of I, E. Apple, I.

I.e. Facebook. I.e. Google. You know, the heads of the four families and make a better deal with their delivery prices, right? So Amazon got so pissed, they just created their own delivery. We know, we'll just do it ourselves.

Okay. No. Why did you let that happen? It's just silly. Just silly. I just say, I, I would have been fine with Amazon saying we'll buy the USPS. We'll buy it.

Well, with the infrastructure, they still could. Because the infrastructure that the USPS has right now would still benefit Amazon. Jesus, I could sell this to Amazon. I could get me into Bezos right now. I could make this happen. Well, I don't know if you want to cover that here, but Bezos doesn't know how to talk on Skype. So I don't know if it will be something that I'll go to his office.

Okay. Yeah. I'm not sick. I'm not sick. Okay, because I recommend... In fact, Jeff looked like he'd put on a few LBs a little bit. I could stop working out a little bit. I say that...

He's got the wife to the curb. He's got the girlfriend set up. He's got to work out. I say that if you're going to do the whole Jays basis, you're right. He does look a little bit, you know, more fit than before. But I'm saying that... Less. No, he looks.

He looks good. He looks good. He's rocking the single-man look. I'm single. I'm ready to mingle. They all look great. I'm single. I'm single.

I believe that's his. Which, by the way, for... That's his pin Twitter. That's his pin tweet on his Twitter account. That is Instagram. For someone that... I'm single. I'm ready to mingle.

For someone that started a bookstore, that bookshelf behind him is pretty empty. And by the way, we can talk. Let's talk about a little bit the heads of the four family. I was going to go. into a couple other stories that are funny and make me laugh. We'll get to those, you know, in the next segment because I'm probably yapping here to the end of the show now. So it's probably almost time to wrap up. So let me say subscribe to the podcast, Chewing the Fat.

Nobody's raising their hand. Everyone. That's what I thought. Everybody's what I mean. That's my point. All right. So, Jeff Bairzos at the, you know, on the heads of the four families. Oh my gosh.

Well, that's where I was talking about. And if you thought, if that, if any one of those four. I know we got to go and get done with this and we'll get into the podcast and the next time of me. But just I'm going to leave you with this, all right? If you even thought for a second that these four guys would go in front of this judicial, special hearing questioning and walk out of there with anyone saying, oh, you know what, let's just leave them alone.

I think we're fine. Because at the end, what happened? We hear the letter of, I think they're too big still after this meeting. I think they're too big. They're too big. Then why did you have this stupid hearing? Just try to bring them down. It's just, we'll get to how he didn't know how to unmute the mic, though, in moments.

And I've got some, we've got, I've got some other stuff to talk about with you that's going on around the world. but right now the John Lewis funeral is going on. And everybody's there. The world's there.

We've been paying respects to this guy around the country for the past month and a half. We've had a novella for this guy. I know it's not a month and a half. Don't look at me like that. The guy just died a week and a half ago, Jeff. I know. But we couldn't do anything. We postponed the hearing yesterday that was supposed to happen on Monday because of the John Lewis showing.

So I'm just saying we've postponed stuff for this guy already And so today they're having their big thing And I see where if you're listening to the show live At the time, W was speaking Giving him a eulogy for Lewis at the funeral And he was trending And when you listen to a little bit of it It either makes you miss him or realize why you don't miss him

One or the other and then the guy, is that the Reverend that was speaking? Yeah, the Reverend. Yeah, he was. The Reverend has got to come out and promote, you know, what else is happening on the show. No, I'm not going to let you speak ill of George, you know, because he did a great job.

I didn't say he didn't. I'm just saying that it leads you down the road of either really missing him or he's not missing him so much. To bear witness to the truth that drove him all his life. that we could build a world of peace and justice, harmony and dignity and love. Come on. Right there. That's what I mean. I know.

That's what I'm saying. I get flashbacks. I get flashbacks. I know. And again, I say you can get flashbacks so you're not sure whether you miss them or whether you don't. All good memories, Jeff Fisher.

Move on because you're going to piss me off. The Reverend comes out and he's got to promote what else is happening for the rest of the show. And he promotes that. you know, that Barack is coming up. Yes. Coming up on the program, the great Barack Obama. Well, you know, when this was posted, it was the reverend, and he says only John Lewis can bring three presidents to the House of the Lord.

And he says, George Bush, the camera pans to George Bush. Laura looking great with kind of like a skin color mask. The former president has a black mask. mask. But oh, you know, Masen. Well, yeah, you got a black mask. You're in mourning. Yes. And then you have, and now we have William something Clinton.

And he, he gets caught. He doesn't know that he's about to be on TV. And he's looking all old over there, like all shivery with glasses on and the mask. And as soon as he realizes that he's on camera, he pulls a Jeffie and takes off his glasses. Got, take the glasses off.

And then now I'm not old because I don't have glasses. Somehow that mindset, you know. And then, the reverend ends with and the reverend Listen here. Listen here. My friend. Yeah. You and I are going to fight here in a second.

So just go on with your story. And then the reverend says, and President Barack Obama. In a little while, we're going to hear from Barack Obama coming. The camera pants, full screen of the full church. Barack Obama is not there yet. And when we say, yeah, I bet he ain't coming.

You don't think he's coming? He ain't going to be there. You can quote me on that. He ain't coming. He's not going to be there. He's not going to be there. He and Michelle are going to Skype in. He has to be there. You know what? I tell you that he has to be there. Think about it. Think about it. He's the only as right now black president. So you tell me the two white boys are going to take the full credit for coming into the John Lewis funeral? I wish we could be there. But during the pandemic, Michelle and I can't get away. We're just stuck here on our 100 acres of, you know, our million dollar property up here.

Sorry, wish we could be there. John, man, what a great job you did, huh? You fought for civil rights and it was great to work with you when I was president. And, man, we miss you, right, Michelle? Yeah, okay. And we got to go. See you later. George, good to see you.

Billy, good job. And, you know, we'll talk to you later. if that doesn't happen, then what, they walk in, they walk in, they take the, they take the spotlight, he and Michelle walk in late. Let's bring up, let's bring up Barack and Michelle, and they come walking in under the spotlight down the aisle. That could happen. That could happen. Hey, how you doing, shaking everybody's hand as he comes in? Oh, wait, you can't shake hands anymore.

Fist bumping, nope, can't do that anymore. Elbow bumping. Maybe we do a couple of elbow bumps on the way down. that'd be great. So sad. And that thing yesterday with Bezos. I was happy to see that none of the heads of the four families were wearing masks because they were isolated in their offices.

I was happy to see that. But you'd think, one thing I waited for some of them to screw up and, you know, Bezos was the one. I mean, I know Kim.com tweeted out who was the, who was the, of the four tech CEOs questioned by Congress today did the worst job in answering questions. And his little poll here had Zuckerberg at 54.4%. Bezos at 20.2%. Sundarbekai at 19.6%. Tim Cook won the day at 5.8%.

So, I mean, you'd think that Jeff might have come a little bit closer to win and had this not happened. Mr. Bezos, you're on mute. Mr. Bezos, I believe you're on mute. I'm sorry. I've seen, I have heard. I'm sorry. I was I talking, I was telling you, what I said I didn't want you to hear is really what's happening.

It took him eight seconds to figure out the little button at the bottom of your screen with a little microphone was on or off. That's the guy that is heading to be the first trillionaire. Yeah. Well, he's, well, Apple, I mean, he's going to be the first 200 billionaire, right? I think he was, he's close to, he's not, he hasn't, he's not worth 200 billion yet. No, but he'll be the first one to be worth a trillion dollars. I don't even know how he survives. He's like, he's only worth like 186 billion or something like that.

You're right, though. You're right. I was very, very interested that, one, the guy who created Amazon has no books on his bookshelf, two, that no one was wearing a mask. Yeah, I was happy to see that. I was really interesting because even, yes, they're all in their offices or conference rooms. I mean, I thank, thank you. Except for, for Mark. Mark was his bedroom.

You could tell. That's his bedroom. Like if you go. He just does not come off good. If you go, so you go Tim Apple conference room. Yeah, that's a conference room. You can see, you know, the walls in the back. that's a conference room. Then you go Sunda Pinchui. That's conference room. He's in the conference

room. Absolutely. Pikachu. Pikachu, yes. Then you have Bezos. He's on another conference room that they forgot to put more books in the bag. Then you got Marky. Marky Marky. Marky. He just says a lot of the right things. He does. He just doesn't come off well at all. No, he doesn't. But, um. He just doesn't come off as well. Good. And everybody knows, uh, you know, look, they're listening to you. They're all tracking you. They all try to pretend like, no, what are you talking about? We don't do that. Those are, that's third party. That's not us. We're not tracking you. No, in fact, we've made a conscious effort at our corporate headquarters that we do not track people. Now, sure, most of the apps that you get through our company track you. And sure, we get that information from

those apps to us because you've already said you've already signed in and said that it's okay for that particular app to track you sure we get that information but we don't specifically track you okay thank you appreciate it take care thanks for coming i mean it's just the show i don't even know why it's just dumb it's just really dumb and these guys aren't winning anybody over and they're not running people away either we've all clicked okay you heard them people have already have already You know that's your mindset

and I'm very interested I love your mindset I click okay if I find it makes my life easier okay I just want to take the picture so I just want to take the picture

yeah you know yep I what I did go I did go to the Walmart neighborhood store today I did I did you tracked me

you got me I mean it's just do I want them to do that No, I don't, I don't. But I was serious business. I was happy that none of them were wearing a mask, not one, because we know, according to news reports, around the country, that we have a mask debate going on in this country. As COVID cases mount across the country, the mass debate is intensifying. People are very passionate.

on both sides of the Great Mastubate. The partisan Masturbate is heating up. Mastubates growing. The president is trying to have us cover the Mastubate. CBS, Target, and Walgreens are getting in on the Mastabate. The Mastubate now taking sitter stage at local restaurants. It's nine minutes after six now, and there's new video of a raging Mastubate. The Mastubate in Georgia is getting ugly.

The Great Mastubate in West Virginia might soon be coming to an end. This Mastubate is far from over. How many Mastubates have you gotten into? Love to hear it. The Mast debate was taken. a whole other level. Bishop David Zubik tells Pittsburgh's action news for he found himself in the middle of a mass debate.

We'll die deeper into this pet store masturbate. So we're going to begin with this thing we're calling the great mass debate. This morning is this morning. Hey, it's nine minutes after six. Before we get to traffic and weather, we want to head into the mask debate that we're having. You know, the one thing that we all, look, are we all having the mask debate? You bet you we are. We're in quarantine.

What else are you supposed to do? And are the people who want to make the case that, yeah, you can wear a mask if you want to, but don't tell me I have to wear a mask. We're losing. We're losing. And, you know, the personal responsibility and personal choice and individual freedom are slipping away. Grab onto it while you can. grab onto it because you've got to hold on to it.

Another thing that I took from the great mask debate coming up, it's nine minutes after six on News 4 is intensify. That's another word that's making the rounds. Now look for it. You saw, I think it was this past weekend that it made a big deal where it was reported that the peaceful protests intensified. Oh. is that what happened

you mean so people that were there peacefully protesting throwing things burning things those people were intensifying the issue huh

huh because I saw Elijah Schaefer from you know the blaze TV.com Elijah Schaefer slightly offensive broadcast where he was recording people in Portland

slightly intensifying. He had one meth head. I should call him meth head. One person on the streets in Portland that may or may not have been using talking about

what was happening to him. To him! It was pretty good. For just fucking being here. For just fucking being here. For just fucking being here. Yeah, wait. Hold on a second. I need to, I should. If you're in the kitchen and you're making dinner, you're listening to Chewing the Fat, thank you. I appreciate it. Tell the kids, hey, go put your headphones out and watch Pikachu or do whatever you do because this particular, there's particular clip from Elijah Schaefer is a big guy.

All right, there's big guy language. There's big guy action if you happen to watch it on Blaze TV. So listen up, kids. Go put your headphones on and zip it. For just fucking being here. For just fucking being here. Like, they will shoot you. For just being here.

Can you explain to me what happened in the situation? We're just being here. I was peacefully protesting. And, uh, literally just standing that. The federal agents come out and shot me with bean bags. Just standing there. Like, lock me up.

Lot me up for about six shots. Shot me six times. Peacefully processing. And I want my friend. What do you define as peaceful and protesting? What specifically, why would they have shot you? Where did they get it wrong? Um, because I support the people I walk with.

And we have a big presence. We have a big presence right now. What are you doing? What was you do? At the time I was doing it, I was banging on the fence and chanting Black Lives Matter, all cops are bastards, and... Yeah. Yeah. Here we are.

Downtown, Portland. Did they ask you to vacate the area? Oh, they tried to snatch me. They pulled out zip ties, shot me with bean bags. Like, shot me with bean bags. And trying to steal me. Were you the same guy that was involved with the fire too, the firing the flames? No, no, no. You can see the look of guilt on his face because he knows that I captured the video of him starting a fire.

Yeah, that's actually why he got shot. He was behind the barrier, trying to set the federal courthouse on fire. I mean, incredible. But I was peaceful protesting And for those of you that You know, we're watching live You can see the saliva and the meth Just spewing out of his mouth

Well, you couldn't because it was behind a mask Oh wait His girlfriend did have one though Yes, girlfriend did have one though Yes, girlfriend did have one Was just effing there You know, it's just there You know, with the community

She had a mask on so that's good She cared you Not only a mask, she had a mask and goggles So she already knew Fauci's head of the curve. She was ahead of the curve. Yep. Head of the curve. She wouldn't have been wearing those just so that, you know, she could be pepper spray.

No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no. No. No. No. No. No. She just understood that you have mucus on your mouth, on your nose, and on your eyes.

Right. And you have to protect the mucus holes. So. Thank you. In fact, you could quote, you're saying the fact on that. it's very important. You have to protect your mucous holes. I think we just leave it right there.
