appearance of cheating what's the one thing that you can do that will help you uh you know save your marriage uh cash cash will help with that uh Justin Timberlake and Jessica Beal have had uh you know their ups and downs and they've had a few issues I should say well really Justin has had the issues he's was seen with his uh you know co star uh last November as they were you know holding hands and then they were caught out on the balcony and he wasn't wearing his wedding ring and you know it was quite the scandal jessica was uh i'm not real happy about the whole situation so what did justin do did he come back and say i'm sorry it was a mistake i didn't mean it i really didn't cheat it was just a a lapse in judgment and jessica was like well that's great at all but uh you gotta you got to show me more

and he did. He said, okay, well, I'll tell you what, if I ever cheat and you can prove it, you'll get the lion's share of the money, all the assets, and you'll get primary custody of the kids. So how about that? Do you believe me now?

And Jessica said, well, sure. You know what? I'll have this second kid. And I'm pretty confident that if you do something wrong, I'll get all the cash and I'll take the kids from you. So I love you now and we're all happy again. Okay, that's great. If you're Justin Timberlake, you know, if you do get caught cheating, are you that bummed?

You probably can, you know, do something afterwards to come up with some cash and you'll have the new girlfriend. But I'm sure that that won't happen. That's just me, you know, thinking out loud. So good for Justin and Jesse. for you know getting back together and for just and you know bowing down to the happy wife happy life concept and if I get caught you know cheating and you can prove it um it's all yours I'm out so that's how much I love you okay all right good for them good for them so I was reading a story today and it started out this horrific story and I had forgotten the actual story that happened a

couple years ago about this girl who was high on meth and ripped her own eyes out she apparently had been snorting and injecting what they're calling tainted methamphetamine uh okay uh you know if it was tainted or maybe it was just meth Anyway, she was, you know, stoned out of her mind and literally stoned out of her mind and ripped her eyes out of her head. Oh, just horrific. And, you know, so I see this and I think, okay, well, I mean, what's happened to her? Well, she's turned her life around. It's pretty incredible.

While she's now officially, you know, blind because of the internet. incident. She is excited now because she has been given prosthetic eyeballs so she doesn't look, you know, so she, it looks like she has eyeballs. She still can't see, but she looks like she still has eyeballs, which is, you know, a great thing for her and for others looking at her. But she's turned her life around. She's clean. She's healthy. She's going, back to school. She's helping people. She wants to

make people realize that they can turn their life around before it gets as bad as she was. She can read braille now. She can cook and she can live on her own. She has a guide dog that she's going to be receiving

to help her through her deal. So she said coming off meth was awful. really physically and mentally she said there were hallucinations and psychosis but she overcame it thanks to god and good for her and she is now you know getting her life back again and so the old saying of you know you got to hit rock bottom before you come back up i mean she was there right she was there she said she remembered the last thing that she saw was as she was on the street corner outside, because that's where street corners are or outside. She said the last thing she saw was a light pole morphing into a white dove as trees

curled downward and skies darkened, causing her to think the world was ending. Sure, she'd only been up for a couple of days and hadn't slap and was on map. And sure, she started injecting the tainted meth at that time. And that's what turned her into this crazy person who ripped her own eyeballs out. Sure. Sure, that all happened. But now she's back on her feet. And now that's actually tremendous news.

And I'm really, really happy for it. And it actually is ending way better than I thought it would when I started reading about, reading about Kaylee Mudhart from South Carolina, who is now 22 years of age. So bless her heart. So as I'm strolling through Twitter last night, you know, just looking at different threads and different tweets and people going crazy all over the world, you know, with my Twitter account at Jeffrey JFR on Twitter. If you, you know, you want to follow me.

I see this story from the Los Angeles Times. Camping is often called America's favorite outdoor activity. But camping and national parks have a complicated past when it comes to racial equality and equal access for all. Now, if you're like me, you thought, wait, anybody can go. camping, if you get into the park, you just have to go to wherever there's camping and they let you camp. That's what camping is. Aha, you, my friend, would be wrong. One modern barrier to entry. The cost of camping gear. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't think how racist that was, did you? No, I didn't think so. I didn't think so. You want to know why?

because nobody did. Nobody did. Except for one person who thought that, you know, camping is racist because camping gear is way too expensive. Oh. Okay. So one person, Mo Jackson, said that she was camping with a friend in Cordillane, Idaho. They woke up at five to start a fire and make breakfast.

and in the midst of a pandemic, experience the peace that comes with an early morning in a secluded spot. The beauty that morning moved me to tears. I had the most clarifying moment. You know, I just thought I wish everyone could feel this. Now, I couldn't help everyone feel more connected to nature. They could get a few more people outside by offering free camping gear. That day,

I was like, okay, what can I do to get more black people outdoors? And that's it. I'm going to buy camping kids and I'm going to give them away. Now, I will say that's great. I mean, that's nice of her to, you know, create a way to get people camping. And that's giving, you know, free camping kids. And she, you know, the kit would include a couple of sleeping bags, a tent and a cooler. So she had enough money to give away three camping kits.

And then she had, she started an account on Instagram, asked people to donate, got a few more camping kits. And then pretty soon it started with the GoFundMe. And there we go. And the camping, she initially purchased the ready to go kits from REI,

cost about 300 bucks each. And then, you know, then it grew, and grew and grew. That's great. My problem with it is, is that it's not get more people camping, it's get more black people camping. Because apparently, camping is often called America's favorite outdoor activity. But in the past, national parks have a complicated past. It comes racial equality and equal access to all.

The national parks have a history of segregation that dates to the 30s. The 1930s. And of course, that changed in 64 with the Civil Rights Acts because I don't know of a national park that turns people away. I don't know of one. Especially since 1964 or probably, you know, a little bit before then. But we'll just go with 64

with the Civil Rights Act. We'll go with that. I'm guessing that that was, we'll just stick with 64. Yep, there's no problem. Anybody can go to the park. Okay. All right. Now, we all know, according to Mo and the Los Angeles Times, almost all U.S. national parks were originally

home to indigenous populations. Long before they were set aside as parks, many of those Native American tribes were pushed off their land to create an illusion of untouched landscapes. Right? And then the Sierra Club, for the first time in July, condemned its founder, John Moore,

over racist comments in his writings about black and indigenous people. Now, I got to thinking, is that true? Was he this guy? So I went back and kind of looked up a little, John Muir. And I wanted to find out exactly, you know, what kind of guy he was. So, come to find out. John Muir, also known as John of the Mountains and father of the national parks,

was a Scottish-American naturalist, author, environmentalist, philosopher, a glasologist. Kind of a good gig there. And an early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States of America. However, he did have some racist comments about him in let's see he founded the he founded the Sierra Club in 1892. Okay, 1892 he was born in 1838 and died in 1914 Okay. Now, he said that, you know, he made all these derogatory comments about black people and indigenous peoples that were all, you know, racial stereotypes.

Now, it even says in the story, right, that he came around at the end of his life and changed. But that's not, that's not important. That doesn't matter. We have to hate this man now. And we have to hate him. That's it. No problem. Oh, okay.

Sure. No problem. Well, let's hate him. Let's hate the Sierra Club guy. Now, the club is, you know, obviously, you know, came out and condemned him for these things. Back in, you know, the early 1900s and late 1800s. when the world was racist. And apparently the world is still racist.

So a study in 2018 by the Society of American Foresters, and I love, oh man, I'd get every one of their flyers mail to the house. Found that between 2010 and 2014, I guess that's the, you know, this is a 2018 study, but they went back and through 2010, in 2014.

94.6% of visitors to national forests identified as white. I didn't know that I could identify as white when I went to the parks, but okay, people who identified as Latino made up 5.7%

and those who identified as black made up 1.2%. So the good thing that Mo Jackson is doing is, you know, sending out these kits so that more are black people can camp. You know, is it a good thing? Sure.

Absolutely. I mean, I was raised camping. I guess that's my white privilege speaking. You know, my wife and my kids love to camp now. That's all part of the scouting thing. I will say at this time in my life, camping is a two-star. If it's below a two-star, And then it's, that's camping.

But I, you know, I was forced to camp as a kid. We camped in, I mean, tents and campers and fishing and boating. We did it all. We did it all. And I, you know, while it was fun at the time, I'm, you know, I'm enough. I'm not, I'm fine. I'm fine sleeping in a building rather than a tent. But I get it.

I get it, and it's going back out and being one with nature and feeling it and feeling the open woods, you know, if their woods are open, and all that kind of stuff. But I didn't realize how racist camping was. And it really, uh, really upsets me that camping is now racist. Nothing, believe me, nothing is sacred right now. Anything in the world that is perceived as traditional. is now racist. And if you didn't know that, now you do. More in a second.

Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink and grab one for yourself. Go ahead. Oh my gosh. Oh, so good. So before I tell you about Jelaine and her problems, I want to remind you to subscribe to Chewing the Fat, subscribe to this podcast.

Then, then, my friends, your life will be in the place it should be. Maybe that's what Jolaine needs to do. I mean, maybe that's her problem. She's a little, she's a little distraught in jail. And

I know, I know, I know, but she's taken off suicide watch now. And she wants to moved out of solitary confinement at hellhole Brooklyn jail. Now, they still want to get her out. You know, I don't blame them. You know, look, the attorneys, you know, complain for Delaine that, you know, the conditions behind bars are horrific. She, you know, does not. She isn't happy.

And can you blame her? She's calling it the onerous condition. behind bars. They would love to know the three underage victims. They are accused her of assisting Epstein sexually abused. They would love for people not to conflate Jeffrey Epstein and Jelaine together. That's going to be pretty hard to do. Pretty hard to do because it appears as though.

that her and Jeffrey Epstein, she and Jeffrey Epstein, her, she, it, they, them, were as one. And if that's the case, woof, just, Jelaine, tell the attorneys, or tell your husband, or tell your friends, if you have any left, where the videotapes are, and, or what website you've stashed them on, you've stashed the digital, digital copies on and let them go get it and then we'll all be better we'll all be better okay you can just get it off your chest it'll be great all right all right good now as I mentioned earlier you know what's back in the news operation varsity blues episode, Government Unleashed, or Country Blues, one or the other.

So, a former associate to the alleged mastermind, and I thought he pleaded guilty. Anyway, Rick Singer, William, Rick Singer, thought he pled guilty so it wasn't alleged. Anyway, maybe it's alleged that he was the mastermind, but he pretty much admitted it. Anyway, she is Michaela Sanford pleading guilty in September to charges in connection with the allegations. She took online classes for students while working for Rick. Apparently, she took these tests and she gave, you know, used the students' names and as part of their application package to colleges and universities. Now, she also, apparently, did. other things for the students,

like, you know, fake pictures, bogus documents, fake athletic profiles, stuff like that. Just little things like that. Don't worry about it. Now, she is pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit racketeering. Well, I mean, isn't that worse than a parent paying for their kid?

For this stuff? I don't know. It just seems weird. She's not going to go to jail. The plea deal that the government is recommending is one year of supervised release, a fine and forfeiture of more than $67,000 and restitution. I mean, we're letting people who were part of the scam walk away, but we're putting parents in jail. Seems a little A little harsh and a little strange.

Doesn't it, government? But the saga continues with Operation Varsity Blues. I feel better just hearing the canon theme song in my life. I won't make him play it again. don't worry. Just a couple times one day just to get back into the swing of things. Amazon.

Amazon is starting to take over the world. Well, you know, at least the country, right? So they are in talks, reportedly, with the Simon Property Group to take over the JCPenney stores as part of, make them part of the distribution. centers across America. That's a huge deal, huge, if they do that. And I, I, I, why not, right? Why, you know, I guess maybe you might find yourself, you know, cheaper to build your

own, but if the malls are already there, the building, the infrastructure is already there, right? Parking and the building, you can just, you know, use it, turn it into the Amazon center and that's a you know that's part of the delivery process i love it if it listen if it gets it to my door five minutes earlier i'm happy and that would also mean that they have a landing place for the drones so you know if it gets it to my house yes i'd like uh i'm out of toothpaste there it is thank you appreciate it's here if i can get it before i hang up if i can hit it send on my computer send and have it arrive i've that now now we've arrived no we're good amazon i'm all

for you and it helps the assignment out because they're crying the blues right i mean they've only collected according to reports 51% of the rent due in june or july and and hey these shops are some of these shops are closed they're going to be closed forever jason penny is going to be closed forever so i mean that's simon is is uh dying i wouldn't be surprised if amazon just buys simon property group uh i wouldn't be surprised if bezos i mean he might not be able to do it so it's probably easier for him to rent the jc pennies but just buy it just become amazon property group i want to still call it simon just to make people happy but just uh and they just just buy it out outright.

And then if they want to, if they want to, you know, that mall is now the Amazon Delivery Center mall, then so be it. And if they want to put a, and they can open up little Amazon shops inside the mall so I could go in and purchase in person if I wanted to. Oh my gosh. Jeff, call me.

Call me. We can, I'll work out of deal with you. And I'll sit down with Simon and we'll make this happen. And we'll, you know, we'll make this happen. Okay, so just call me or email me, Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. And I'll get back to you right away. They also, I see, are turning into, you know, the old Sears.

Remember, you could buy everything in the Sears catalog. I feel like we talked about this at one time, but you can, there was a big story I read about, you can buy your own little house from Amazon, and it's a kit house. So you have it sent and you can build it anywhere, right? And so you get, you order the house. And you can get these, you know, this isn't the only house you can order like this. You can get like log cabins, log cabin kit houses, probably a little bit more expensive than what you're spending at, for the Amazon kit house. But you get a 540 square foot living space in the main area, which includes a kitchen, a bathroom, living area, two bedrooms.

there's also another 218 square feet in the sleeping loft leaving you with about 750 feet of living space kind of small but uh for you can get that kit for about 30,000 dollars I think maybe it might be a little bit more but if you get the all wood avalon cabin kit for 30 grand or you know what it's probably oh it's 33,000. 252. I don't know what the full price is, but whatever. But the shipping is free. They send it to wherever you want. It takes about 60 to 90 days to arrive at your house.

So it looks like if you order it, then they build it, right? It's not build it and they will come. It's order it and then they build it for you. So it comes with everything to put it together. Now, you don't have a foundation and obviously the land. And you don't have plumbing, right? you have a space for the bathroom, but you're just going to, you know,

dig a big hole underneath. So you've got an in-house instead of an out-house. But no plumbing. Ooh. Ooh. Tough. But if you could, you know, what? You get a, you get an acre of land.

You get maybe, I don't know, 10 acres of land somewhere for a reasonable price. And you put the kit house on it. Because you probably got to build. There's really rarely places anymore to buy land where you can't, where you don't have to build something on it within a certain amount of time. And it's kind of cool. All right.

For 30 grand, your little kid house, put it on your property. It's where you live. And, you know, what, you got to build a foundation, put in a little plumbing? Ah, who can't do that? Oh, that's right. And it doesn't come with the shingles for the roof either. So you got to, you got to spend money on that too. But that's it.

That's it. And then you're good to go. And you're good to go. Amazon is taking over the world, my friends. Taking over the world. And Jeff, don't forget, email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com with the return phone number. I'll get back to you.

I'll get that Simon deal working for you. All right, let's talk a little food. I found this headline a little misleading, and I'm not sure I understand why, except that I guess they don't like Texas. This particular story on Fox Business websites, the headline is Olive Garden, Texas Roadhouse,

were most popular restaurants during coronavirus pandemic report. But really, Texas Roadhouse beat out Olive Garden. Now, the two were the tops from year to year. The research analyzed consumer tracking data with visits between July of 2019 to July 27th, 2020. Olive Garden and Texas Roadhouse were allegedly the top restaurants in most states in the U.S. However, Texas Roadhouse was the favorite in 16 states. And Olive Garden was top in only 12 states. Applebee's, Chili's, and Denny's were the most popular chains during the pandemic,

while Longhorn Steakhouse pulled in two states, and Outback Steakhouse was most popular in Florida, and Waffle House was most popular in Mississippi. I mean, Outback Steakhouse, that's a Florida. a restaurant. I love them. They probably, so are the others, Jeff. I know, but Outback is right there. Although I will say, and I may have said it before,

the best Outback Steakhouse I've ever been to, and I've been to many of them. The best Outback Steakhouse I was ever at was in Alabama. Opalaca, Alabama, by the way. Just outside of Auburn. Well, that was a long time ago, though, now. when we went there when my son was being recruited to play college football,

which by the way, you know, may or may not happen. But I'm just saying when he was recruited, we went to Auburn was a school that he was recruited at and we went down there or up there from Tampa. And we ate that night at the Outback Stakehouse in Obolaca. And that was awesome. Best Outback Steakhouse in the country, bar none.

But this story, you know, headlines with Olive Garden, but Texas Roadhouse is really numeral uno. So, not real sure. I know Applebee's and Chili's were on that list.

We're seeing most increased traffic. But I mean, traffic for during the pandemic is, I mean, down and dramatically. I mean, we all know that. So, I mean, anybody that shows up at a restaurant these days,

they're happy to have you come in and sit down. Please order something a lot. We love having you here. and according to this story, Twin Peaks, I love the restaurant. They were not on the top restaurant chain list, but they are, maybe it's because they're more of a bar than anything, but they are being sued now. A 35-page lawsuit against the fine restaurant of Twin Peaks, the restaurant chain, claiming that there was a system for grading their breakfast.

bodies. Well, duh. And they had to wear bikinis and lingerie for costume party. Now, these girls who normally had to wear the Twin Peaks outfit were upset because they had to wear other outfits rather than the Twin Peaks uniform outfit. Okay. All right. Whatever.

That's fine. They were graded on how they looked and apparently they were fat-shamed. Oh, no. Oh, no. You mean they wanted good-looking, hot females delivering food? Yes, they did. And they also said that the Twin Peaks managers would walk around the restaurant assigning a tone grade to the female server's bodies ranging from one to ten.

Oh, that's not funny. It's not funny at all. I don't know what I'm laughing at, the scale would be applied to their. backs, their arms, their stomachs and legs for a maximum of 40 points. A practice, the lawsuit said, was subjective and entirely based on how the managers view that girl's body on that day. You bastards. Judging us.

I won't have that. Now the girls that got the higher rank got the most lucrative sections in the restaurant, leaving girls with the lower rankings in the slow, less lucrative sections. Oh, my God. You bastards. They were fat shamed, and that destroyed their confidence. Oh, no. Oh, no.

And another grooming tactic was fake concern over body weight. Oh, no. Oh, no. Managers would send to pull girls into the office and show them pictures of what they looked like when they were first hired. You don't look like this anymore. What are you doing? Oh, that's incredible.

So they are saying that in keeping with the commercial sex ring and exploitation theme, wow. They have one female in leadership position. I mean, good luck in today's world of going through this. Wow, they said customers gave, you know, was sexually harassed the girls and the managers didn't do anything about it. They also, I liked, there was one thing, and I didn't. I don't mean to say I liked it because I didn't. I mean, I thought it was horrific, okay? I thought it was horrific that they would do this.

Before every shift, the managers would take a picture of all the waitresses, and that would be sent to the corporate guy who would judge them as well. It's not funny. That's not funny. That's why I'm not laughing. I am not laughing at all. It's a ridiculous thing. And they, I mean, I guess other employees would catcall servers and customers would inappropriately touch them and say things to them and make vulgar statements and propositioning them for sex.

I mean, how about no? And don't talk to me like that if you're that upset. at working at Twin Peaks. So the four Twin Peaks locations in Illinois, including the restaurant in Warrenville, were named in the lawsuit. Locations in Texas and Florida were also named. So, I mean, good luck Twin Peaks staying open

with, you know, really what some would say good-looking women because now they can't, I mean, you can't be raiding people like that in today's world. horrible. I want Twin Peaks shut down. I want them closed. That's it. I want them closed. And good news. And I don't know if I want to leave you with good news today. For those of you that are listening outside of the actual podcast, Russia has just approved a COVID-19 vaccine. So we're good. It's over. Right? It's over? No. No. I mean, they just said they have a vaccine and he gave it to his daughter.

He believed in it so much. I mean, he didn't take it himself. But he did believe in it so much that Vlad let the daughter take it. Guess what's solved. We're all good now. Yay! Download and subscribe to more content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. Okay, let's say that.

even with the vaccine from Russia, we still have to wear a mask for, you know, the foreseeable future, which it looks as though that is going to be the case. Researchers have tested 14 commonly available masks, including the professionally fitted N95 mask, which, you know, usually is just the healthcare workers that have that. A test performed with speaker talking. without wearing a mask, then they did it again while the speaker was wearing a mask. Each mask was tested 10 times. All right.

The most effective mask was the fitted N95. Duh. Three-layer surgical masks and cotton masks. Wow. Which many people have been making at home also performed well. Wow. The 14 masks used in the test. Neck fleeces.

Also the gator masks. And often, you know, that are used by runners, were the least effective. In fact, wearing a fleece mask resulted in a higher number of respiratory droplets because the material seemed to break down larger droplets into smaller particles

that made more easily carried away with the air. Yay! Folded bandanas and knitted masks also performed poorly and did not offer much protection. So, does that really matter?

It doesn't seem to matter. in today's world. It seems like you have to wear a mask. And we don't care what kind of mask it is. But if you don't have a mask out, then that's it. You have to wear a mask. And okay, that's fine. But then we get new guidelines from the CDC that says the N95 masks with the respirators and the little breathing valves.

Those, those don't, don't. You shouldn't really use those. Yeah, I know. they uh yeah they're not that good and uh so don't use them wait what yeah they're not as effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 so you know the purpose of the masks is to keep the respiratory droplets from reaching others to aid with the source control masks with the one-way valves or the vents allow exhaled hair air to be expelled out through the holes in the the material.

That means that the exhaled respiratory droplets to reach others and potentially spread COVID-19 virus. Yay! So therefore, the CDC recommends using masks if they have not using masks if they have the exhalation valve or vent. So Mr. Smartypants with your little valve and vent masks, CDC says no. So now we're getting to a point, right, where we're going to have to start wearing particular kinds of masks, right? And if you're, and now we're already, we're already at the point where you wear you must wear a mask or, I mean, if you walk outside your house in most places in America today and don't have a mask on, you get shot in the head immediately. a drone flies by, you just shot dead.

I know, that's what happens. You walk outside your house, you're dead. I mean, there are some people around the country who are saying, yeah, it's, we can find you if you refuse to take the coronavirus vaccine, and we're going to throw you in jail and charge you. you with attempted murder if you don't wear a mask. So we're letting these power hungry monsters continue to eat. I mean, it's just incredible.

So just be careful. And if you can't wear a mask, I will say that the local Walmart that we go to, my wife went in and told the person out front, because I had asked the guy out front, you know, if my wife comes, I asked him the other day, If someone comes and can't wear a mask, you're going to let them shop.

And the guy said, yes, if they say it's a medical condition, we let them in. We don't argue with them. So, you know, my wife attempted this, and they let her shop. But the people who were upset were the people shopping. And, you know, she got the looks and the walk away real fast. and, you know, the comments, the snide comments, or she's not wearing a mask, that kind of thing. So people are still kind of looking for that fight,

but the stores are obviously keeping up with the, if you have a medical condition, you know, we're still going to allow you to spend your money in our stores, which I thought was nice. So I thought was nice of them. But people are out of control. And so just a reminder, if you wear a mask and someone around you isn't wearing a mask,

continue to go about your business and shut your mouth. Wow, that sounded awful mean. Probably shouldn't be that mean, right? But I've, you know, you know where I'm at? Why I feel like I'm mean? I see this list of things that reminded me of where we are now in America. And really, you know, multiple places, around the world, but this list covers most of America.

And, well, I'll read you the list. And then you can decide whether it's true or not, okay? I'm surprised they allowed this on social media, by the way. But we'll see if it stays up there or not. This is where we're at in America these days. If a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him. somehow it's on American for the census to count how many Americans are in America. Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.

It was cool for Joe Biden to blackmail the president of Ukraine, but it's an impeachable offense for Donald Trump to inquire about it. 20 is too young to drink a beer, but 18 is old enough to vote. People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations, to people who have never been slaves. Inflammatory rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing people in restaurants is virtuous. These are just some of the things

reminding us of where we're at here in America today. People who have never been to college or people who have paid for their own college should now pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees. Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you'd better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated. Irish doctors and German engineers,

want to immigrate must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gangbanger who jumps the southern fence are welcome. Five billion dollars for border security is too expensive. 1.5 trillion for free health care is not. If you cheat to get into college, you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country, you go to college for free. People who say there's no such thing as gender are demanding a female president. We see other countries going socialist and collapsing but it seems like a great plan for us. Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are held responsible for what they are doing right now.

Other people are not held responsible for what they're doing right now. Criminals are catch and released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of their right. Pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us racist. Nothing makes more sense. Makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, and it goes out and out and on. you see that we are in, we're kind of in a dark place, right?

I mean, right is wrong. Left is right. Up is down. Darkness is light. Light is darkness. That kind of thing. Eh, that kind of thing. You know, you know what I'm talking about.

And that's where I want to, I want to quote a guy by the name of Jeff Fisher. He hosts this podcast. Oh my gosh, that's me. Yeah. Anyway, I want to, I want to quote myself here. And you can use it, but, you know, just give me my do. Okay.

All right? Leave you with the Jeff Fisher quote. Live in the dark long enough. It becomes your light.
