I got some cattle.

I'm driving to the town. Oh, hey, how are you doing? I was just changing up the tune a little bit, but the same lyrics, the same snappy lyrics. I got some cattle. I'm driving to the town. How you doing today? Welcome to Chewing the Fat. My gosh, it's good to see you.

I mean that. So I have a doctor's appointment this morning, and it brought up a flood of things that we're going to talk about today. One was as I'm waiting for the doc to come in, I'm reading a story, and I'm laughing when the doc comes in because I'm believing that it's not, there's no way this story can be real, right? You want it to be real. So there's a story out of Australia that talks about someone or some people who wanted to siphon gas. gasoline out of a bus. And the story goes that, boy, did they get a big surprise because they put their hose down the human waste part of the bus. And so when they, you know, if you've ever siphoned anything, but, you know, who among us hasn't put a hose into a tank and tried to siphon whatever was in the

that tank out and you put the hose in and you you suck as hard as you can. You can quote me on that until you get the flow coming. And then you put it into whatever container you have. Normally that's coming out of someone's gas tank. However, you usually get just a little bit of gasoline in your mouth when you do that. Or water or whatever you've done in, whatever little science class you've had throughout your life, you put the hose into what

you want to get. You suck as hard as you can until you get a little bit until you get that flow started. And you get that hose and you're, you know, the liquid is going into from one place to another. Which, hold on. I want to interrupt you. When you're talking about siphoning gas, you don't get a little bit of gas. You get a lot of gas. Sorry to misinform the people, Mr. Criminal.

Thank you. No problem. For those of us that did it in science class, we just got a little bit. For those of you that do it in real life out of people's driveways, apparently you get more than you bargain for. So the story goes that they had put it into the waste part of the bus. And so they sure got a surprise when they sucked up that waste, that human waste into their mouth.

And so, you know, you laugh. You know, karma is beautiful. You think that's a beautiful thing, right? but the story goes on to say there's no footage they haven't arrested anyone and so it's just a story I don't know that I believe it

you want to believe it that's a story that you want to believe that you want to say good they got what they deserve but it's not real I know it's vacation time welcome to the show people going on vacation right who is it going on

Anyway, dry your eyes because you're still not going to be able to go to Europe. I know. I know the travel ban of the U.S. has been extended. And you're not going to be able to go there. The European Council has said, no, you evil sick people in the United States can't come over here. Now, the United Kingdom, who's no longer part of the EU, by the way, said that we get to sure, come on, come on, but you're going to have to, you know, self-quarantine for 14 days. And, but you could come, you could show up.

But for the rest of the Europe, no, you can't do it. So just dry your eyes and you're going to have to, you know, redo your vacation plans. You were planning around Europe because that can't happen. So did you see? I'm all over the place. Did you see where, you know, we, our astronauts came back, and, you know, we,

they dropped into the ocean with their, you know, with their, we're still dropping into the ocean. I thought we were beyond that. I really did. I thought, uh, uh, Elon,

I mean, he has the boosters land back on, uh, barges in the ocean. Okay. This is, the astronauts have to land in the ocean? This is where,

I interject and say my one thing that always talk about space. If a wind change to from 40 miles an hour to 41 miles an hour with cloudy, we can't do it. We can't do it. Cancel the launch. Cancel the launch. Abort. Abort. And you're right.

I do like, I will like to see how. Now, we, it's funny, I saw a tweet that said Obama canceled the space program. Then he said, in order for us to go back into this two space, it will take us 12 years. And I want to say about $120 something billion. Okay. I mean, the money is no object. We don't care about money anymore. And then here is Elon did it for less than a billion.

and it took him six years to bring us back into space. Now, Elon, baby, you're doing great. You have a new son. Can you, can we try? Just try. Put some monkeys in there or something. Can we just try and the same mechanism that we use for the Falcon 9, which is it lands on the platform?

Can we try that with the humans? That'd be great. Did you watch the whole shebang from the beginning of the night all the way to the morning, the splashdown? Oh, glued. Okay. You couldn't drag me away from the complete. I was upset at two things. One, why the hell were we not doing the coverage?

Because those nerds at NASA and NASA, they suck. The takeoff drove me insane. That's why I couldn't watch the landing. Yes. Because that was what we, come on. Two. NASA. We're here for you.

Two. Why are we still landing in the middle of the ocean? And then sending speedbooks. And lastly, three. Why did it take us about 30 minutes to open the hatch? We, I saw a bunch of tools. Maybe they had, they probably had that. I mean, the suits were part of the ship, right?

I mean, that was the deal. But the suits were, were, fitted to them and they were part of the ship, right? They were interactive with the ship. You know, maybe they had to unplug. Maybe they had to detach themselves. They could not get, you could see it. I saw it on the news.

They tried so hard. It was like, Jeffrey, it was like when you and your family are looking for the keys for that, for the old rickety shed in the backyard and you have all these keys and you're like, crap this one's not it hey go i saw something on the junk drawer i think there's like three keys in there bring those keys over here i saw it i thought last year it was somewhere in this damn house exactly where's somewhere in this house it was an old key ring that had the it was the same key ring that had the house key that we lived in four houses ago on it and it had the little wind dixie tag to scan yes it was the one the one that they gave me when i worked there

It's on that key ring. Where is that? Yes. It has a little loop that I put it just so I can hang it on the door, but we never do that. It would look just like that when they were trying to open the hatch. And then finally, we get the hatch open. And how is it possible that in 2020, we still have to carry our astronauts from their seats to a stretcher into isolation? I thought those suits were

I think I'm being too critical now but I thought my astronauts were supposed to walk in and then walk out oh you are now we are so far from that now listen I think yesterday or the day before Richard Branson said he's going to fly into space early next year

with the you know virgin galactic right so he's already saying hey I am I'm flying into space. So how long, I mean, Elon's got to do it before Branson, right? And so does, so does Bezos. Bezos, yeah. I mean, they've got to fly into space before Branson, right?

I want to do this. I don't care which three fly as long as either I need Branson to do at first because I may own some stock on that company. so if he does fly first my stock is Valley is going to go up the roof so you know I'm just saying whatever decides to go first

but maybe Virgin can go first and then Elon and then Bezos it's fine but I think see now he's I think I think we're going to be a this is a technicality where Branson says

he's flying into space right I'm flying into space I'm going to do it. We're going to do early next year with his, you know, the space tourism company. He wants people to start flying into space. I think it's going to be, it's not like the astronauts, right? He's not going to fly into space and circle around the, circle around the mode and give a wave to the space station and then come back to Earth, right?

He's going to fly up and go into, you know, the beginning of space. Yeah, well, they call the... And then just, just going to, he's just going to, He's going to fly in and go, I'm in space and then fly back. Do you remember the Red Bull guy that decided to free fall? Oh my gosh. Who didn't watch? That was amazing.

That was amazing. I feel like under technicality, that guy was in space. Yeah. He was the first one. You're 100% right. So he went into space. Yeah. I feel that.

And he used a balloon. And he used a balloon and then he free fall. Right. So cry me a river, brand. you puss. Yep. Get in your plane and go. Yep.

Yes. Look up that guy's name. We've got to give him his credit, the Red Bull guy. Because you're 100% right. He's the guy. He went into space. He went in on a balloon, and he jumped back to Earth. I mean, if nothing gets you to drink Red Bull, other than that, that works, my friend.

Absolutely. And they actually say it gives you wings. It was the Red Bull Strathstos project by Australian skydiver Felix Baumgarder on 14 October 2012. That's right. Baumgarter flew approximately 39 kilometers and we don't know how long that is. That was so awesome. Into the stratosphere over New Mexico, United States in a helium balloon before free falling in a pressure suit and parachute. to Earth.

I remember that as it was yesterday. Felix Baumgartner. That's right. Felix, you are the man. 100%. Chewing the fat is giving you your due. That was awesome. Awesome.

And now this is just a, you know, off the top of my head. Would I want to do that? Absolutely. I feel like. Absolutely. I feel like I may fall faster than Felix did. That's all I get is like, oh yeah, you know, you probably would.

You know, when he stepped out on that leg, if you didn't see it, go find it on YouTube, just Google Red Bull space dive and watch it. And it is when he stepped out on that ledge, he's got the cameras and he's looking down from space. I mean, it was awesome. And then he jumps. Holy cow. And start spinning out of, I mean, what looked to be out of control. And then lands back on the planet. It was awesome.

No kidding. And again, Branson, puss. What kind of device are you going to be in? That's right. You know what? Elon and Bezos and Branson. Please. Please.

Bob Gardner jumped off a balloon from space. So, a conversation. Uh, I go to the doctor's appointment this morning and you can't walk into the office without a mask. So, you know, I have my stupid mask on. Now, you can't go into the office and you can't walk back to the,

to the, uh, you know, the rubber glove room without your mask on. But once you're in the room, you know, you can take it off. Everyone else in the building has a mask on, including the rubber-gloved nurse and doctors. So they, the first time that I went in for the rubber glove test at this place, they came in and I didn't have my mask on and they kind of looked like, why don't you have your mask on? And I was like, because you do. And I feel pretty confident that we're okay.

and the doc was like, okay. So now they come in and my mask is still there. You know, I mean, they, I'll get shot dead if I walk into the building or try to walk back to the rubber glove room without a mask on. And I don't want to get shot dead there. So, you know, I go back with the mask. But I'm taking it off. I'm not spending time in this room waiting for the rubber glove people and then talking to them with the mask on. They all have masks on.

It's fine. but it brings up, I mean, we're all having the mass conversation, right? I mean, we're being forced into the mask conversation. And it's really, really frustrating. And I know we've been down this road before. And I know that it feels like enough. Why are we continuing to have this? Yet we are.

Yet it's still, we're getting with social media, with the help of social media, we are seeing more and more of the wackos on both sides that refuse to wear a mask and want to make a big deal about it and the people who believe that you should wear a mask when you decide to walk out of your house, not after you walk out of your house, but when you're in your house and you say, I think I'm going to go outside,

you have to put your mask on. And then you can't go anywhere without your mask. That's just the way it is. Now, it's not the first time, right? I mean, history is kind of repeating. itself, except that we're in a really different place. You know, I went down the history of the mask division from the Spanish

flu days, and it talked about how it was so terrible and how the debate, you know, masked were called muzzles, germ shields, dirt traps, gives people pig-like snouts. And some people had put masks on but they clipped a hole in them so they could smoke their cigars and they put them on their dogs and you know they were people were robbing banks with the masks and there were anti-mask meetings right and so san francisco seattle oakland sacramento denver indianapolis pasadena had mandatory mask laws and san francisco was at the forefront they were known as the masked city. And complaints, of course, mounted all over. You know, the flu was killing people,

a lot of people. And then in San Francisco, they were finding people and throwing them in jail for not wearing masks. They had outdoor court sessions. So if you weren't wearing a mask, if you were arrested or, you know, fine for not wearing a mask and you went before the court, you were jailed between eight hours to 10 days. If you couldn't pay the $5 fine, you were automatically jailed for 48 hours, period. And that went on for at least a month, according to what I was reading about,

maybe a little bit more than a month. And then they dropped it because they thought, oh, you know, we're, we've locked it down. We're doing pretty good. And then, of course, they had the second wave. All right. And then with the second wave, came. I mean, they were talking about

violent and aggressive behavior. People were losing money. So, you know, they make it a big deal like it was a money issue. Okay. All right. They had the anti-mask league that happened. It turned into, once again, a political symbol.

But the thing that makes it so different today is that while that was going on, America was still doing work. There were places were losing money because the people were dying and people didn't want to go out. They were wearing masks and all that. But there were, we didn't shut businesses down.

We didn't shut them down. We can't do that anymore. We can't shut down America anymore. If the rest of the world, you know, I guess locks down, we can, we'll have to do something to try to, you know, circumvent that business-wise, to ship goods and services around the world from different ports. But, you know, what are the cruise ships doing? They're doing nothing. Put some goods and services out, those big-ass ships and ship them over. Those people already got COVID anyway that are still sitting on the ships. Let them work. I know that sounded cruel.

Sorry, but it's the way it goes. But now they're talking about, you know, that mini guy in Minneapolis, The one Fed chief of a Minneapolis is talking about what we need is another lockdown for four to six weeks. A hard lockdown for four to six weeks. Are you out of your mind? That is just unbelievable to me that we're thinking like that. I mean, we are just now, going to the doctor's office today, I was really amazed at how many people are out and about. Because I feel like they're not out and about, but they are, especially here. I mean, they are out and about.

My son was here this weekend, who lives, you know, in the greater Austin area. And, you know, he was saying that they are, my words, not his, Nazis in Austin area over wearing masks. And he said when he left the Austin area, they stopped off at a Buckees, which is between one of the Buckees is between, you know, his house and ours on the way. and he said maybe 50% of the people at Buckees were wearing a mask. Maybe, maybe. And amazingly, Buckees was still letting people in to spend money and do business with them. That's an incredible thing. That's an incredible thing that businesses still let you in because they want your money.

We can't shut down America again. We can't do it. Businesses are already just crumbling in some of these cities. And we talked about it the other day. The chickens are coming home to roost with the rent. If you haven't been paying your rent and the owners, your landlords are coming to collect because soon they're going to be able to kick you out if you haven't paid your rent. Because now they can't. Make a deal with your landlord, man.

Talk to them. Get the deal going now. make it happen find a way to tell the landlord you'll wash the freaking windows of the place you'll sweep the hallways something you know just so that you

look I can't pay you but don't kick I need a roof over my head let me do something to keep the roof over my head and once we're back to work we'll make it right because if that doesn't happen do you think it's ugly now with homeless people in America

it's going to be really, really ugly, really ugly. And again, I started with the masks. I just wish we could get it through people's heads that if you want to wear a mask, great, wear a mask. But if someone doesn't, isn't wearing a mask, great. They're not wearing a mask. It's okay. I see in my local Walmart here close by they actually had a guy out front giving masks away to people who didn't have masks and I asked them specifically uh because it was mandated I asked them specifically if uh if you don't have a mask and that you say to him and I got a medical reason I can't wear a mask he'll still let you in he'll still let you into the Walmart because Walmart amazingly wants your money and they don't

want the fights anymore they don't want the crazy people of the videos of people going losing their minds over someone in a store not wearing a mask. Go about your business. Go about your business. That should probably be a PSA that the government should actually do. Just to go about your business campaign. And let people be their own self. You know, like we're supposed to in America.

I'll go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Seriously, an ice cold can of water. Oh, my gosh. Hey, a reminder. Subscribe to chewing the fat. If you're listening to this right now and you're not a subscriber to chewing the fat, some people will get really angry at you.

I will not. I'm just asking you nicely to subscribe. Other people are like the mask people. If you were out and about and somebody says, hey, are you subscriber to chewing the fat? And you say, no, I'm not a subscriber. Why not? You should be a subscriber.

That could happen. And I don't want that to happen to you. So you want to be able to say, yeah, I'm a subscriber. Thanks. And then fist bump and move on with your life. So choose a platform, whichever one you want. say, for example, Spotify or iTunes and subscribe. And then you're alerted every day when the new podcast drops just to make you happy and warm the little cockles of your heart.

Okay. Okay. Thank you. And while you're at it, I don't want to, I just feel like I don't want to ask too much, but subscribe to my YouTube channel as well. The Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher YouTube channel as well. Okay. All right. I'll stop I'll stop asking for stuff.

All right. One thing leads to another. And then the next thing you know, I'm asking you to, you know, go to Twitter. Follow at Jeffrey JFR and Facebook and Instagram and Parlor at Jeff Fisher Radio. You know, you get to follow me out all those places. And I don't want to ask for all of that. So just, you know, do the podcast and the YouTube channel. The rest of it will we'll talk about later.

Okay. Okay. All right. So, uh, did you see the leaked, those of you watching live on the 4th of August 2020, uh, see me using the quotation mark, uh, fingers leaked body cam footage of George Floyd arrest.

Now it's about eight minutes long, or a little bit longer than eight minutes, actually. And it's the beginning of getting him out of the car, out of his automobile to, up to the video that we've all seen of the police officer with his knee on his neck and then him dying. All right. So I watched the whole thing. I watched the whole thing all the way once, and I watched bits and pieces of it more than once.

And it's maddening. It's maddening because no matter, whatever side you're on, this video works for you. Okay. So if George Floyd, rest his soul, had not died, this video would have shown the police did exactly what they were supposed to do. Agreed. They had to do. What they were doing was exactly what you'd expect the police to do.

since he ended up dying with the police officer with this damn knee on his neck and I just want to slap that cop I still don't understand why there someone didn't come up to him and say what are you doing enough I really I really I just

I just don't but at any point you go through any of these points and let's be clear you know of course I'm using the disclaimer of course the man didn't deserve to die Of course he didn't. It was horrible. That's the one thing that we, I think we all agreed on.

It's incredible to me that this death sparked the outrage in our communities because we all agreed that it was horrible. But I guess we didn't think it was horrible enough. So we have to burn down a few things, I guess. but it was really, really interesting to see how the police and how George Floyd was during this arrest. And throughout this video, I found myself saying, well,

he should have just gotten in the back of the police car, he would have been alive today. And I know it's if, right? If, if, if. And like I said, it goes all the way. This video takes you up to the, on the ground with the knee on his neck video. But it is kind of maddening that we have destroyed a lot of this country and really put a divide in this country over this. over that arrest.

When you... Well, and it's not 100% over that arrest. That's what kick started it. When you were watching the video, you were watching the video at home and you are so... I know Ray's going to bring it to this. You are a white male.

Did you... I don't know if you know this, Chris. I don't know if you know this. But whatever video I watch, I watch it as a white male. Okay, good, good. At any point of the entire interaction between George Floyd and the police officers, at any point did you stop on both sides and said,

if this person would have stopped it here, he would have been alive. If this person would have stopped it here, he would be alive. Multiple times. I don't understand it on both sides of the argument. I don't understand why the police officer just let him. through the tantrum that he was throwing and I don't understand what George Floyd did not just take it like a man

and just sat his butt on the ground. Well, I mean, the argument to George Floyd is that he was on drugs, right? Yes. He was under the influence. He was drunk. So he was under the influence. And he had COVID-19.

He had fentanyl. He had math. Right? I mean, he had all these things in his body. Can we check if he had hydroxychloroquine? No, because that's not an effective treatment. Okay, got it. Sorry, I apologize for that. The people who are actually alive today claiming that it was hydroxychloroquine,

they're a bunch of liars. And you better stop talking because Skype is going to end the call real soon. So let's deal with one problem at a time. And let's talk about the George. But yes, going back to the George Floor situation, I'll say former police officer of the military. Oh, God. Oh, God.

Did you ever have this problem at the gate? We did at one time. We did at one time. This freaking douche. All right. Go ahead. As a former police officer. This freaking douche wanted to blow the gate.

But see, the cool thing about the military bases, if someone blows the gate and they won't stop, there's a little button to the right that we press and these giants stoppers pop up. And guess what? Yeah. It's between you and that wall that I just made a peer out of nowhere. So, yeah. Let's go there. Anyways.

But as a former police officer for the military, I was so aggravated at the police officers because, in my opinion, now this is just me. I can't feel what they were filling their shoes. But if you, if you would just left them in the back of the truck, the police officer car left it back there call for a bus like an ambulance and just be like hey he's going crazy back there we just locked him up in the back he seems safe but he just going all crazy i feel that yeah if they would have just left him and and then you could see because i know the end of the story i know the end of the movie and i'm thinking he i'm like oh my gosh

just let him sit in the car just let him cool it off in the car like like a drunk tank and hindsight and hindsight you're you're doing that right yes but on the other hand you know here's a guy who has been arrested before bent shot before and he was saying this all before he was saying i don't want to go back please i don't want to go back uh they're they're saying i'm gonna we're you know we're rolled the window down, you're fine. Just chill. It's just, it's just aggravating. Like you said, you think at that point,

if the officer says, get in, we're closing the door, we're rolling the windows down a little bit, and then walk away. Yeah, but then again, we don't know what the police officers were feeling. We know that's a,

but that video that was leaked. Yeah. It's infuriating because on both side of the arguments, you could say, say one person could have stopped and it would have been over. The other person could have stopped. It would have been on over.

But at the end of the day, after watching the entire video, I still conclude that both sides were on the wrong. Oh. I mean, again, not knowing the ending, not knowing the ending with just the leaked body cam footage. uh you do you get in your in your mind all right take away we already know the ending right so if you were to watch this leaked body cam footage without knowing the ending would you have guessed that he died no no so does that lead you to believe to be more pissed

at the police or the assailant, you know, the criminal. The criminal. See, to me, I think that leads me to be more pissed at the police because they're supposed to be smarter than that. Yes.

Yes. But at the end of the day, we're all human. We all have the adrenaline shot going up. We want... No further questions, Your Honor. He could stop talking on the stand. Do we...

We didn't... Have them addressed the question and don't let him go out and on, Your Honor. I did objection. I know, I know, I know, I know, that's the problem, right? That's the problem, that's why we were all against it. It's just, it's really, it's really, you know, sad, it's maddening, it's everything, you know.

Don't be putting your fingers up, wrapping me up when I'm in the middle of this, of BLM. I'm ready to just go all out for BLM, and you're just wrapping me. up so I can't. So have you been able to click on Seeing America with Megan Rapino, Rapino, her HBO special, Seeing America? Have you been able to click on it yet? I played the promo, you know, last week, and it looks just riveting with AOC and Nicole Hannah-Jones and Hassan Mihajah.

Now, I thought, and I was mistaken last week when I was talking that Hassan Mahj was just a YouTube comedian douche. No. But I was wrong. You are because he has a nice contract with Mother Overlord Netflix. He has a weekly show called Patriot with Hassan Masasha. And then he has a... No, this must be a different guy. And then he has kind of like a comedy special.

His name is M-I-N-H-A-J. Yeah, that one. And then he has like a comedy special called Homecoming King with Mahamahara. Oh, yes. Yeah. Yes. Yeah.

By the way, the more you say his name, the more I want falafel and like curry. Like seriously. We're about to record. It's lunchtime. We're recording it during lunchtime. And you talk about Hassan Majjav. And all I can think of is

falafel. I don't know if they have that on the special. But I've been, it's been on, I go to HBO. I watch, you know,

Perry Mason every week. So I'm on my HBO app. At least, at least. Are you on your HBO app? Or are you on your HBO Max app? Okay. Depending on which TV I'm viewing.

Oh my God, you bougie bastard. Don't you look down on me from your stupid. ivory tower and tell me that you have HBO Go on one TV and HBO Max on another TV. And I know for a fact, you're not an ATT customer. You're a Patriot mobile customer. So don't tell me that you're getting free HBO Max.

So either you stole it from your son. Okay, so, all right, so here's the deal. All right. I have HBO Max on the living room TV on the living room TV, okay? Okay. But I can also, I also can access HBO through my Hulu app. So you're paying double.

So that's how I get HBO Max through the Hulu app. Oh, through the, okay, okay. But the screen on the TV and the bedroom, the app just says HBO. It doesn't say HBO Max. So you're paying for that one. I don't think so. Yes, you are.

Yes, you are. Yes, you are. I think that's a... No, because I guarantee you, I'm not paying for it. Okay, someone is paying for it because I had a swap from HBO app and they canceled that account and it brought me into the HBO Max world. I can't help what you have to do. I can't help that. I'm trying to help you out.

You know, I know you have millions of dollars just pouring out every morning. Oh, I just can't stop the money from coming here. Exactly. So I'm just trying to help you out in a long run. You know, if this whole market crashes and we're all at the bread line eating spam and bread, which again. I'm close to that line. I'm closer to that line than you think, my friend. But go ahead.

I'm here thinking I don't want filophila. I want spam and rice. That's delicious with a fried egg on top. Ooh, that's lunch for me. Anyways. But I'm trying to help you out and save some money, bro. So. Thank you.

You're welcome. Anyway, I'm just saying that I cannot bring myself to click on the Propino show, seeing America, and I feel like I have to. You don't, though. No, but you don't. You don't. I don't see a person behind you with a gun telling you go watch this lesbian HBO show, seeing the world through her lesbian eyes.

Is that the subtitle? Yes. It doesn't say that, but that's what it is. Okay. Well, here we read between the lines. Yes, and that's exactly what the iconic star athlete hosting a fearless conversation with AOC and NHJ and Assam... Dude, that falafas sounds good right now. Yes, yes. So you may, you know, maybe we get falafels and we sit down and we watch the show.

I don't know. Okay. If you bring the falafels, I'll bring my HBO Max. Well, I'd love to, but look at the time. Gotta go. Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. So my people are a little bit of hot water these days over the mail-in ballots. And the Congress is calling the new postmaster general to the forefront to find out what the heck is going on.

why is it going to take so long? Why is the mail being slowed down? What's happening? So they're calling DeJoy before Congress. And I think within, you know, I don't know, sometime this month. And, you know, many people are like, why are you waiting so long? Get him before you now. So I don't think.

By the way, he, they want him to speak at the September hearing. Yeah. That is not a few months. That's like next year. That is so long ago. I don't even know what month are we in. Yeah. I mean, we'll be that much closer to the election.

Yes. Right? We're like 90-some days out now. I think we are. We're 90 days out today, right? If we're listening live on the 4th of August, September, October, September, October, November. Yeah, it's the 90 days out.

Holy cow. We're 90 days out for this election. Oh, my gosh. Which, you know, the recent, I like they bringing that up because it actually shows that not even Congress knows who to call. Thank you. Because this show, and I will, Jeffrey, I'll give you the link so you could tweet it out. This show did a deep dive because for the longest time, Jeff Fisher, you wanted to be

the joy. Yeah, Postmaster General. You want to be the Postmaster General. You're on the forefront. You're the face of the Postal Service. You're the person that everybody loves to hate. And that's all you are.

Postmaster General. And that's all you are. In reality, that's all you are. You're the guy that if a thousand male ballots go missing, you're the one that has to go to the president's say, oh, Billy Bob decided to throw them by the lake. That's what happened.

But you're right. You're the one cable news networks want to come hunt down. Yes. Now, right now, there is a, and I want your opinion, as future governor of the board of the USPS, there is a mail-in voting update coming out of New York that says, due to massive postal serve failures, New York will count many mailing ballots even if they're not postmarked by the deadline or postmarked at all. How do you feel about that, Jeff Fisher?

Well, A, I mean, what they're just, they're completely throwing the postal service under the bus. Right. But it is strange that even though we're throwing them under the bus and DeJoy is going to be the face of it, those of us that are on the board of governors are breathing a sigh of relief. Yeah, take the heat. Take the heat. It's us that make the calls.

It's us to make the calls, not him. But go ahead. Put him out there. Go get your head chopped off. But it's amazing to me that they're throwing the postal service under the bus, but they're still going to use it. Yeah. And it's funny.

It's funny because this whole headline that I just read comes after on Monday a federal judge ruled that approximately a thousand absentee ballots that were not postmarked by the deadline by the deadline are going to be used on the New York congressional primary that still hasn't been decided after six weeks. So there couldn't be any fraud having to do with any of this whatsoever. Now the fight is for the District 12 of New York. Representative Maloney appears to have beaten challenger Suraj Patel. But her current margin over Patel is only 3,700 votes. And they are... Are you ready? Are you ready for this?

And there are more than 12,000 disputed ballots. So you have 12,000 disputed ballots. and they're going to accept, oh, look what I found in the trunk of my car. I've got some mail-in ballots that this postal worker kept and didn't do anything with. So these count.

Yep, Mindy. It's just, right. Right. Oh, just amazing. I mean, if I'm to joy, I don't know what I do as Postmaster General. I mean, you try to hang on and get a paycheck for as long as you can,

but the board of governors is just sitting there going, man, that guy, sucks. Doesn't he? Yeah. Oh, when you hear that? You mean we have breaking news here on chewing the fat because as you well know, if you're a regular listener, you know that when CTF records, news happens.

Let's go to our man on the street. Now with breaking news. Chris Cruz, Chris. Hey, Jeff. I'm right here right in front of the city health commissioner office in New York City to let you know that she literally just hand me her letter of resignation. She just resigned from the New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Osiris Barbot has resigned. Were you able to get a comment from her on why the resignation happened today and what was it about? She did not tell me why she's resigning,

but she did give me a quote that she wrote in an email to the members of the health department staff that says, I am proud that as a woman of color, raising public housing in this city, I always put public health, racial equity, and the well-being of the city I love first. That ethos continues within the agency, and I have every confidence that you will continue to serve every day with dignity, integrity, and courage for all benefit. of all New Yorkers. I'm surprised that maybe you could try to run her down and we could get her on. I mean, I know that she is the first Latina head to the health department,

and she has deep Puerto Rican roots. Oh. While she was born here in America, she has deep Puerto Rican roots. So I thought maybe you could let her know that you're one of her people. Okay, well, that makes sense because she, if you don't remember, like, who the hell is, you know, Dr. Osiris Barbott? Like, who, who's that? This is the health commissioner that said to the NYPD boss, she didn't give two rats ass about his cops during the heighten of the current pandemic. Right, right.

That made her a strong favorite to continue her position under Mayor de Blasio, I'll guarantee. Yes. Now, the reason why she said, I don't give two rats ass about your cops was because the NYPD, how dare they, Jeff Fisher, how dare the NYPD request 500,000 face masks? How dare they? Yeah, that's right. Like, how dare they're day? That makes sense. You know, she is Latina. Now that you say that. I wonder why she's resigning now, though. I mean, she is right. She is right up there with de Blasio as far as, uh, that. That's, you know, that's why I want to bring it back to the studio. So let's close this out. Oh, okay. So that was breaking news here on CTF.

As you know, when CTF records, news happens. The Health Commissioner of New York City with deep, deep Puerto Rican roots has resigned effective immediately. I don't like that. I do not like the whole deep Puerto Rican roots. I don't like that. Just reporting the news here on CTF. Okay. But I would like to spend a couple of minutes.

because you were the one that told me I bet you would that she has been bumping heads with Mayor de Blasio I don't know why though because they're both they're both living in a world of Naziism

Yeah to for lack of a better word Nazism Marxism do you think that she wants Because I'm sorry you go outside New York Boom you're dead Like that's how it's being told by Mayor DeBlaubley Blasio.

Yeah. You know, that theory that you showed me at your living quarters where you go raise your hand and then you touch your nose, boom, you're dead. That is how people are dying in New York City today. They raise your hand,

touch your nose, boom, dead. It's in the air, dead. Yeah. So I want to know how much more does she want. I don't know. Maybe tomorrow there'll be a story. We'll have a breaking news story of some.

sort of illegalities that she's involved in. Why? Because she's Puerto Rican? Only Puerto Ricans can take money as you know

they were bought off so they look at the other side is that what you're saying? Because yes, that did happen in Puerto Rico and we did lose a couple of officials about,

you know, may have accepted some money here and there. Yeah, I mean there were some problems. you know, in Puerto Rico. Now, she's definitely, I mean, she was born here in America. She just has deep Puerto Rican roots.

So there's no way of knowing whether she, you know, is familiar with, you know, graft and things of that nature. But it does say that she is, went to the university. Well, she went to Yale University. Oh, nice. of medicine and dentistry of New Jersey. So she's has dentists. She's part of the dentistry, man. Those are criminals.

That alone, that alone, she's a criminal. So not only she's a, she's a person with deep, deep Puerto Rican roots. Right. She's a dentist. She calls herself a, hey, do you know what this word is? Yeah. She refers to herself as a N-U-Y-O. Rican.

Oh, a New Yorkan. New Yoreican. New York. New York is you born in New York. She's a New York Rican. Yeah, you're born in New York and then you family is from Puerto Rico. Got it. Got it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you have deep Puerto Rican roots, you're a New York. New Yorkan. That's awesome. But I would like to know why she quit. Why are you? Wait a minute. Are you like a Florero-Rican?

No, I'm a Boricua. The hell is that? I was born in Puerto Rico, so I'm like a native. Oh, so you're, I mean, you're from the mothership. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You're welcome coming into the States.

I'll tell you that. Anyway, we'll find out tomorrow whether she's a, she has some sort of financial difficulties. But you say she's a New Yorkerican. Like, she definitely has. She was born in the projects. Of course she has financial difficulties. How many mob bosses look the other way? She went to Yale.

Oh yeah, because, yes, because only people that don't go to Yale I set money from the mob boss saying, hey, I need you to sign these paperwork for this, you know, this new bar just open. The health department, just here's some money. Yeah, okay. Sorry, sir, lo lamento. I have here a diploma of Yale.

and no I can't have to do dinner. Yeah, she said that. Absolutely. Okay. I mean, I believe that to be true. I believe that to be true. Oh, and speaking of, you know, I talked yesterday about that I believe that Ellen was done. They came out now and said Warner Media said that, you know, show's still on, right?

The namesake show. Good for them. Still on. Supposed to start back up. I think in the end of this month or the beginning of next month and then her game of games is supposed to begin

sometime at the end of this month as well. So they're saying that it's still on. We'll see. Okay, so I've been following this story because of you. This is just because of you. The whole stupid Ellen being the worst human being in the world.

Yeah. I will say before you get to that, I will stay. I want to remind people of this particular quote from Warner Media themselves. Okay? So if you, I think that the show will not, you know, I may rethink and say that it will be back, but they will have lost so many sponsors that it won't last. No way.

But a spokesperson for Warner Media said that the primary findings of the investigation into the show indicated some deficiencies. Oh. So they have looked into the show and they have been indicated some deficiencies. We've identified several staffing changes along with appropriate measures to address the issues that have been raised. And we're taking the first steps to implement them. So once again, even Warner Media is throwing the workers under the bus. It's not Ellen.

It's the workers. Well, you can't. You can't blame Ellen. Good luck. You can't. Even if it was Ellen being this horrible mean human being, you can't blame the brand. The brand is her. So sorry for all of you that are trying to cancel her.

But Warner Media sees that as a profit puppy and they need that puppy. Well, we'll see. If it still will be a profit puppy. But I'm getting a little. I'm getting a. glimpse, not a glimpse, I'm seeing some same trends that I saw during the Me Too movement with Ellen. Oh yeah. Because if you remember, Jeffrey, in the Me Too movement, it was, he touched me. He let me force me to watch him in the shower, blah, blah, blah, blah. I was scared of my life.

And all of a sudden, all these other women were just speaking and said, yeah, what she said. He did that to me too, but then he was wearing a black gown and I was wearing a red dress and he was sitting in a palm tree when he did it to me, not an oak tree, but it sounds just the same. I'm getting really frustrated because you have Leah Thompson from back to the future, the one hit wonder saying, yeah, she's mean. And I quote, and I quote, this is a quote, from Thompson from her tweet that says true story, period, it is. Oh yeah, well, that was to do with her, the story of her being, the story that was the Australian guy, right? Yes.

She commented on his tweet saying that he couldn't, you know, they were told not to look at her, don't talk to her. She's coming in, you're doing the interview, and then that's it. Then you have Brad Garrett and you're like, who is Brad Garrett? Everybody knows him as Robert, aka the brother of everybody loves Raymond, in a tweet. Everybody knows that. That says knows more than one who were treated horribly. Okay.

And we're just going to pile on because if all it takes is a tweet, Fisher, I didn't want to say this to you, you know, but I did work with an Ellen producer for about a week. And they were so mean to me, Jeff Fisher. I have records of emails of them being mean and they didn't actually tell you no about something. No, no, no, they were just being mean. The tone of the email was so mean. And I just want to come out. I feel like now it's a perfect chance.

This was back when the polls happened in Orlando. So I feel like now that I've seen Leah Thompson and I've seen Brad Garrett, I feel strong enough to come out and say that Ellen's producer and shoot, the general manager for Katie Perry also was mean to me and oh no the Pixar people that allowed me to screen Dory were also mean to me so oh no you're lucky to get out alive I want to come out and say that true story period it is now we know it's true whenever you we know for a true we have we have actual evidence of an email that was meanly worded

to the producer of this show. I mean, he was lucky to be out of live thanks to the power structure. He was fortunate enough to get out. And we're glad to have you, Chris. No, really? I mean that. And you're glad you made it out alive from there. You know, with your deep Puerto Rican roots.
