It's week two of Canadian tires early Black Friday sale. These prices won't go lower this year. So you're lying on the floor? Save up the 50% November 13th to 20th. Conditions apply, details online. Well, to it. It is, of course, chewing the fat. Thank you for coming along for the ride today.

Big day. For those of you that aren't aware and are listening live on the 15th of October 2020, it is the end of the census today. I know. The census data collection is. ending. The internet self-response is going to be up until the end of the day, today. Phone response till the end of scheduled times. Paper responses must be postmarked by October 15th, 2020. And non-response follow-up census takers will continue resolving non-responding addresses through the end of today,

which is October 15th. Yes, I know. Dry your eyes. But there's good news for those of you that are weeping that's the end of the census taking. Tesla is cutting its Model S price to only $69,420. I know. I know. If anything, dries your eyes. It's when a car drops his price to less than $70,000. On behalf of Tesla, you're welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. these college kids for trying to come up with a way to make some money. They're in college.

They need money. You need cash for, you know, even just get around money, right? You just need a little extra get around money. Something to have in your pocket. Well, apparently, there's kids at the university, well, it's Brigham Young,

so it's BYU, Idaho. Apparently are looking into accounts that students are intentionally contracting COVID-19. And you think, my gosh, why are they doing that? Well, they need the money. They want to sell their plasma with antibodies for profit. Okay.

I mean, you need a little get around money. That's all. Now, the university has definitely condemned this behavior and is actively looking for students who might be engaged. So if you're a student at BYU, Idaho, I would suggest that you, when asked, say, no, I'm sorry, I have COVID-19. I tested positive for coronavirus.

Sure, I'm selling my plasma with antibodies to the highest bidder, but I did not intentionally go out and get COVID-19. so there prove it because they're saying they're going to if they find anyone that did it immediately suspended maybe permanently dismissed okay now maybe you stop places from paying for plasma and antibodies from people who have already tested positive for COVID-19? I don't know how you do that. This is America. And, I mean, these kids, these kids on, you know,

from universities forever to make some money. And that money is no more or very little now, right? So there's got to be new ways to make a little cash. And with limited ways to make money in today's world, that's a pretty good idea. Now, I'm not going to do it. I don't think it's a good idea, but it is an idea to make some extra cash.

And I'm going back to the title of yesterday's show. Good luck. God bless. But, you know, even with the numbers saying that in their age group, I'm sure most of the age group at BYU, Idaho, is in a young age group that typically doesn't, get extra sick with COVID-19 has minor symptoms and then done with it. So, you know, odds are in your favor.

But it's your bet. It's your bet. There may be other ways for you to get a little getting around money. I don't know, like just having the city give you money. Little universal basic income coming from the city. that's what San Francisco is going to start doing. They're going to be giving struggling artists $1,000 a month. Now, under this plan, they're saying there's 130 artists in the city.

I'm guessing, this is just a thought from me here at Chewing the Fat. Once this program starts, you're going to have more than 130 artists. in the city, but so be it. So it's going to be for a period of six months, starting early next year. Okay, they want to, it's part of the city's economic recovery task force. Yay!

Artist to paint murals with public health theme onboarded up businesses and deploy performance artists to promote COVID-safe behavior in high-foot traffic areas. Boy, that'll be. be good. Huh? Yeah. Can't wait. So, you know, they love it. The, uh, the universal basic income people are all just in love with it. I, uh, I guess, okay, they can spend their money on whatever they want, but good luck. They're talking about a study that was done in Vancouver, Canada, I hear more and more about Vancouver,

that recipients reduced their spending on cigarettes and alcohol, and they were more likely to find stable housing than those who didn't benefit from the program. They got the unconditional cash transfer of $7,500 in cash. Vancouver, and Vancouver says their emergency shelter system saved over $8,000 a price.

person by giving these people $7,500 in cash. Okay. Sure. I guess Stockton, California, privately funded a universal basic income program was probably $500 in cash to 125 recipients earning. Oh, yeah, that's right. And they extended it beyond the 18 months it was supposed to run because of the pandemic. So all these people are still getting the extra 500 from the city.

Good for them. I mean, if you can't get it, why not take it? You can quote me on that. If you can get it, why not take it? Am I right? Thank you. No problem. If you can get it, why not take it?

Now, I know, I'd like to know how they're choosing the artists, who actually gets, you know, gets knighted to be an artist from the king, but according to this story, details are still sparse. Oh, okay. In fact, the quote is still pretty sparse from the mayor's office. Huh. So we've just decided, look, it's part of the shared spaces programs, I guess. And what was the group that this is coming from, from the city,

the economic recovery task force. All right, well, good for them. I know they're busy putting things together. Here's an idea that might help the economic recovery task force, and this is just again off the top of my head. I'm not part of the recovery task force, but one of my ideas would be to open up the businesses. if they're still able to.

You know, instead of having the artists paint murals on the wood that's boarded up the front of the stores, that's just a thought. I know. Crazy. I get it. So I apologize. Never mind. Take the thousand bucks.

But I guarantee you. This story mentions 130 artists in the same. city, I promise you. San Francisco will have more than 130 artists once this plan gets implemented. In fact, I think I'm now for a thousand bucks a month. Yeah. No. Yeah, I live in San Francisco. But no, Jeff, you're in Texas. Yeah. No, I live. I'm from San Francisco. That's what I call my home. And I'm an artist. So, are you sure I'm in Texas right now? Sure. But I really call San Francisco home and I'm an artist. So if you could just send me

a thousand bucks a month, that'd be great. Thank you. And again, I realize that some of these plans may seem to help in the short term and that's what they're trying to do is at least get through the short term because if you give people money each month, you're hoping

that they don't do crime, that they do less drugs. So other things, spend less money on trying to take care of these dingleberries because they have some money. I understand the thinking except that it's coming from you and me. It's not Bill Gates handing out the money. It's the tax dollars that is helping out. And that, my friends, is exactly why we have a big struggle in Washington, D.C.

about the spending bill, but I don't want to get into that, please. I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But a lot of those bills, that's the deal. That's why the president doesn't want to do them because of the money is going to these hellholes like San Francisco,

and they want to just give the money. You know, sure, their argument is giving the money back to the people. But without asking for something in return, pretty pretty, pretty, pretty, I don't want to say the word dumb. No, that's the wrong word. I can't think of the right word. We'll just stick with dumb.

Speaking to dumb. And again, you talk about the people just trying to find a way to make a buck. Times are tough. I get it. According to this story, a couple of guys in Florida are the dumbest criminals of the week. Now, okay, so these guys are dumb. No question, right? All right, they're just dumb.

they well I'll tell you what they did they went on a burglary spree in Ocala and Marion counties now I've been to Ocala and through Marion counties and you know some of the people there

may be questionable intellectually but there's still not all of them easy easy not all of them shut up but these two had a little issue all right

So they left behind some things at the stores that they robbed. So sure they left behind a shoe, some of their tools. And one of them, you know, left behind his wallet. And sure, they were stealing cigarettes and alcohol from convenience stores. Sure, they started smoking cigarettes on camera in the store as well. they were committing the crime. So sure, I know they're dumb. Everybody's trying to make a buck.

Everybody's trying to, you know, is hurting for money. I get it. But this story comes from the police department. And it's the sheriff's office in Marion County. And they put it up there. And it's the, you know, dumbest criminals of the week. And maybe that's a thing they do at the Marion County Sheriff's Office. I mean, the sheriffs get away with it.

We've played sheriffs from all over the country, who I love, including my man down in Polk County, Polk County, Florida, Grady Judd, and there's plenty of other sheriffs and several of them in Florida that are awesome, including the sheriff right here in Texas and the county I live in Tarrant County. He is awesome. Bill Wade, he'd been on the show before. I don't remember the episode number, though, off the top of my head. But he's been on the show before. You know, he certainly has been awesome so far.

But as I'm reading the story, it's written from a police officer's perspective on their Facebook page. And I'm thinking, wow, you know, that's supposed to come from us. That's not supposed to come from the Sheriff's Department. Now, being a thief already makes you dumb. But that isn't why they are this week's dumbest criminals. You see, these two wins. on a burglary spree inside the city limits of Ocala and out here in the county. And then they go on to list all the dumb things that they did.

And so when the police officers knocked on the door of the guy that left his wallet at the store, he confessed. Both were arrested and are now in the Gold Star Hotel. Wow. Confessed. 14 grand theft and burglary charges. I mean, the least you could do is say, No?

It wasn't me? It's not me. Look at that. Look at that. You can't even see that that's me on the camera. Seriously, you can't. I don't know what my wallet was doing there. It was stolen.

Somebody took it. That guy took my wallet and dropped it there on purpose to frame me. You got to try something. So, I guess the sheriff's department is right. right. They are the dumbest criminals of the week. And many of you say, of course, though, the dumbest of the week. They're from central Florida. We get a lot of dumb criminals from Florida.

There's no question. But as of late, there are, we're hearing dumb criminal stories from all over the country. So I don't want to just pick Florida out. I mean, Florida does a good job. No question of giving us dumb criminals. But there are plenty of dumb criminals around the country. So don't hang your eyes. head, Texas. Stop it. Don't hang your head. South Carolina, Georgia, any of you other states,

stop it. You're still in the fight for dumbest criminals. You are. You're good enough. And so is Alaska. Gosh darn it, you're just as good for weirdo people too. Don't hang your head. Stop it. So the mayor of Anchorage, Alaska, I had this story yesterday. I cannot wait to go on Pat Unleashed. tomorrow morning. I know you're listening live. I know this is a podcast. I get it. And we make the joke that you're listening live.

And I get the joke. Okay, that's why I do it. But I cannot wait to go on Pat tomorrow morning because he did this story this morning. And it was really funny about the Anchorage Mayor. But I thought I read it wrong because he talked about it being an inappropriate. The mayor got in trouble for an inappropriate massaging relationship. Now, seriously, who among us? But so I sat down to do the show today and I'm thinking, well, I got to do the story.

It's fantastic. It's the Anchorage mayor is in trouble. And it's some sort of scandal, sex scandal. And, you know, we're going to do the story. That's why I had it on the show sheet. But I hadn't read the full story yet. So I heard Pat joking around about massaging. And I was in love with that.

I was saying, ah, I can't wait to get. to the story, it's inappropriate massaging, and I get it. I understand how someone could get in trouble for having an inappropriate massaging relationship. Some of them during the Me Too movement, we heard all the time about people, you know, he would walk up behind me and just start massaging my shoulders. And surely, you know, the Me Too movement would say, then he, you know, would grab me and everything else. But this mayor obviously, you know, had his inappropriate massaging relationship. But the story is inappropriate messaging relationship. So one of us is wrong.

It's either inappropriate messaging relationship or massaging. Either way, it's a bad lapse of judgment that the mayor made years ago when he had this consensual, inappropriate messaging relationship. I don't know. I can't. It's my story. I have in front of me says messaging. I'm going to,

you know, well, how do you spell it? I mean, the story of me is M-E-S-S-A-G-G-I-N-G. Massage is M-A-S-S-A-G-G. And I can, I mean, the mistake is easy and it's really funny. But I can't wait to tell Pat, dude, it's messaging, not massaging. we all want to believe that it was massaging. I love it. Now,

it's a freaky thing, the whole thing, because he's now resigned. And they were happy about him resigning because he's been such a lockdown freak, and Anchorage doesn't want any of that. So they're happy. I don't know that it's going to help them during this,

during this virus lockdown. Good luck. God bless. But, boy, that's starting to be a theme. But he's, since resigned.

Now, the anchor, we got in trouble with this Maria Athens. All right. So she was an anchor for the local Fox and ABC affiliated news stations. So I guess one day she was worked for one, then she went across the street.

It's Anchorage. I think their market is in the 140s. You know what I mean? It's a smaller market. But, you know, still strong. If you're on TV and Anchorage, you're on TV at Anchorage. You can quote me with that.

So apparently, she posted a video of her on her professional Facebook page, alleging that the mayor posted an illicit photo of himself to underage girls' website. All right? So she claimed the accusations were coming from reliable sources and said the story would be airing later that night. So an investigation by the Anchorage Police, and you don't want none of them. And the FBI into allegations found no criminal conduct. They blasted her for slanderous and categorically false reporting and just blaming him.

So then she posts to her Facebook page a nude image saying it's the mayor, along with the mayor's initial statement. So then later that day, she gets to her. arrested at the station for punching the station manager whom she was also romantically involved with. So I don't know, she, the station manager is telling her, hey, take a hike. I'm sick of you. What are you doing? You're out of your mind. You can't work here.

So she punches him. She's down pissed at him because he's mad at her. And he's mad at her for this. not that. I mean, he still wants to have the inappropriate massaging relationship. So then she goes before the judge.

And she, as she's in front of the judge, she kept interrupting the court and had all these outbursts in front of the court saying, I have pancreatitis. And I needed to get back to work. So they don't even know

if she's still employed at the station. So she's charged with misdemeanor assault, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. That was just for the fight at the news station. That has nothing to do with the, if it is the mayor in the nude pick, where did she get that from?

I don't know. Maybe that is what the mayor is talking about as the inappropriate messaging, messaging relationship. So he's all hot for this anchor as a mayor. I don't even know. know if he was the mayor at the time, but I guess so. And he's sending her nude pics and saying,

man, you look so hot on TV tonight, baby. We don't have any reports of what the inappropriate messaging was. I can't wait to read those. If we get those out, that'll be great. I mean, it'll be awful because we're ruining a man's career. And we're ruining an anchor's career. So she's out of her mind, right? She's having this sexting relationship with the mayor.

And then she's having an affair with the station manager. And now she's pissed at the mayor for whatever reason. Maybe the mayor stopped texting her and said, stop, leave me alone. Or I don't want to. And now, you know, maybe she tried to, you know, have the relationship go farther. And he's like, no, I'm just happy with the inappropriate massaging relationship. So, shh, I want to tweet this so bad. but I don't want Pat to know until I see him tomorrow morning because it's so great.

I know he read it wrong and it's funny. It's really funny. I want it to be an appropriate massaging relationship. I really do. But if you're listening on the 15th of October 2020, it doesn't matter. If you're listening to this tomorrow, Pat Gray unleashed in the morning the 16th of October. 2020, just know that you go back and listen to that podcast as well, because I'm going to have some fun with this story tomorrow.

I cannot wait. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something to drink. As long as we're in the break room, you can hear that. There's an air show. I'm going to have to take a break for pause for a second, because there's an air show from the airport that's close to my house. here in DFW, and of course they're going to practice now. I thought since it got windy and cloudy,

they'd postpone the practice a little bit. But no, they're just going to practice now. So I'm going to have to try to get through recording the show in between air show practices. And my wife, of course, I mean, I love her for it, is outside. She'll be outside snapping pictures from here to through Sunday or Saturday.

whenever the air show is over because she loves it she's got great pictures of previous air shows and it's a drive-in drive-by air show this year that they're doing so it's kind of a you know it's obviously you know a covid-19 coronavirus air show but uh it'll be fun to see the planes flying around this weekend and uh as always look for you know shots on her accounts because she'll be posting them and i'll repost some of the good ones anyway uh While you're sitting there taking a drink here in the break room, from your chilled beverage, let me remind you to subscribe to chewing the fat.

Please. If you're listening to this right now and you're not a subscriber to this podcast, then you should become a subscriber. You know, don't just be a freeloader in life. Become a subscription freeloader instead. Duh. and subscribe to this podcast chewing the fat. Okay, yeah.

And I don't care where you're at. You know, I don't care what platform you use. iTunes, I heart, radio, Stitcher, Spotify, or the plethora of platforms that there are. Just choose one and subscribe. And again, I don't care where you are in the world. Like anywhere in this. Canada, Belgium, France,

the United Kingdom, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany. We even have some listening in the Russian Federation. Thumbs up to you. And South Korea, hello, welcome to chewing the fat. So it doesn't matter. But if you're listening to this in any of those places and you're listening for free without being a subscriber, you are not living the fullest.

life you could live. That's all I'm saying. We're way back in May. Way, way back in May, really does seem like another lifetime ago. When Amy Cooper, the white lady in the park, was screaming on her phone, calling

911, claiming a black man was assaulting her. Way back in May. Well, you know, after he had asked her to leash her dog in Central Park, it's kind of a weird story because they're both named Cooper. They both have the last name Cooper.

I guess no relation. But the DA in Manhattan is engaged in, says that Amy was engaged in racist criminal conduct and his office would hold anyone making a false and racist 911 call accountable. So I guess they're working on a deal for her. So she's going to have to participate in a program to educate her and the community on the harm caused by such actions. How? Now, I will say dumb.

Absolutely dumb. Fun to watch because it was so stupid. And I felt like Kristen Cooper, the black man who was being hollered at and falsely accused from Amy Cooper handled it fairly well, at least during the video portion that we saw. But do you want her out?

participating in a re-education program of the community? And how were you harmed? I know that Christian was, but you personally. Way back in May. I don't know. I don't know, but good for her if she can work out a deal. And great if we can have those re-education programs happening. Tell you that.

Okay. So we've all heard about, we all have robots and we have drones around and we want drones delivering our goods to the house. and someone has to control them, right? And we have military drones. We've got people, you know, in the desert in Nevada. At least we think that's where they are. Controlling the drones that we're flying all around the world.

So there's a story out now that they're talking about robot dolphins. All right, they're talking, hey, all these places that have dolphins, you know, we can use fake ones. And, I mean, it'd be like life-like anima. Autotronics used in Hollywood movies could one day entertain crowds at theme parks instead of wild animals held in captivity. Well, okay. Swimmers could dive with robotic great white sharks and even reptiles that filled Jurassic era seas millions of years ago. That would be cool, right?

Right. Currently, according to this story, there are 3,000 dolphins currently in captivity being used to generate several billion dollars for dolphin experiences. And so, you know, people love them. They're dolphins. Heck yeah. We like to see the sharks and we like to see the whales. And we like to see, we would love to see, you know,

we go to Jurassic Park and we see the giant, you know, the giant dinosaurs in the water and on land, by the way. So if you could make them look real, it would be awesome. Well, a company called Edge Innovations. I may have to try to talk to this man, Conte, founder and CEO of Edge Innovations. There's a picture of him using a handheld controller to move an animatronic dolphin in a tank at his warehouse in California. Nice!

Now, I don't know how much it costs. Robots are pretty expensive. So, you know, anything, and there's so many, so many things that I can talk about that I want to be animatronic in my life. but wouldn't you like to have one let alone you'd go to Jurassic Park to see if the animatronics looked real you'd go and see them you just would so A would you go to the to the water parks to see you know fake dolphins swimming with people maybe fake dolphins it says here the idea is to create a kind of a Sesame Street underwater.

I think it would be cool to have Sesame Street characters, you know, swimming with the dolphins. Right? I mean, you can have all kinds of animatronics. Plus, at some point, they've got to become reasonable. So you have them for yourself, right? You have your own dolphin in the pool out back. So you have your drone flying around

taking pictures with your GoPro, and you have your edge innovation dolphin swimming in your pool. with your handheld. I know. That'd be really cool. Swimming with whatever kind of animatronics.

Now, get that out of your mind. Stop it. Wow. Why are you thinking like that? Hi, we've got some entertainment news. We'll get to rocker Tommy Lee. You know him, you love him. He has, and, you know, I want you to,

he's squared off on you. you is what he's done. And he has said that, and this is a threat. I would take this as a threat from Tommy Lee, that if President Trump gets reelected, he's going to move to Greece, the country of origin that he's from. I know.

I know you think to yourself, like the first thing that comes to your mind would be so. but if you're scared and you think that you know you don't want Donald Trump to be reelected because you don't want Tommy Lee to move back to Greece well I mean that's a that's a violent threat and I you know I could maybe talk to your attorney and do something about it I don't know what to tell you

I mean his quote is dude I swear to God if that happens then I'm coming over to visit the UK, I'm out of here. I'll go back to my motherland, go back to Greece, and get a house on one of the islands. So, uh, that's a threat. That is a threat from Tommy Lee. And, you know, you take it for what you, what you want. You can be scared.

You could not be scared. I don't know what to tell you. Uh, I'm taking it as so. Bye. But, you know, if you're concerned, you, you know, you be concerned. Stevie Nicks is back in the news. She had an interesting interview where she talked about how the pandemic is really,

she's really struggling with it. She's taking it more seriously than most. She said she's barely left her home in Los Angeles this past year. She said, my assistant, God bless her, puts on her hazmat suit, that goes to get food. Otherwise, we'd starve to death. That's kind of funny. I don't know if she means literally putting on a hazmat suit.

That wouldn't surprise me. But I'm guessing she just means, you know, gloves and a hat and a mask and glasses. We'll, for the best possible outcome, we'll say she wasn't serious. But if she was, so be it. I get it. She said her mom was on a ventilator for three weeks when she had open heart surgery. And she was horse for the rest of her life. Oh, okay.

And she doesn't want to catch COVID-19. I get it. I get it. But one of the things that she brought up in this interview was her abortion, her abortion that she had when she was early on in her career. So in 1979, she said she terminated her pregnancy. And look, abortion rights were, you know, my generation's fight. And again, if President Trump wins this election and puts the judge he wants in,

she'll, will absolutely outlawed and push women back into the back alley abortions. That's not even on the docket, by the way, Stevie. And so you don't really understand the whole thing. but you go ahead and keep saying that. I tell you what, you should go to Greece with Tommy Lee, but I digress. She talked about determination of her pregnancy when Fleetwood Mac were at the height of her career. And she was dating Eagle Singer, Don Henley. And she said if she had not had the abortion, she's pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac.

Now, there's just no way that I could. have had a child then working as hard as we worked constantly right right you can't have a kid and work hard and there were a lot of drugs i was doing a lot of drugs i would have had to walk away and lord knows you don't want a kid to keep you down why you'd have to walk away from from being part of a rock and roll bad well fleetwood mac and you'd have to have a kid so you couldn't keep having all that sex and drugs. Am I right? All right. So this was in 79. I mean, Rumors was out when? In 77?

So they were pretty freaking huge in 79. I mean, that Rumors album was, you know, incredible through the roof. Still is. I mean, it's a great album. But I didn't realize that she struggled with her career three years later or two years later when she got pregnant. and, you know, she was doing drugs and having sex and gosh darn it, the next thing you know what happens when you have sex, you were pregnant. If you're not careful, if you're just stoned out of your mind all the time,

and you end up getting pregnant. Well, what else could you do? You can't have the kid. Am I right, Stevie? Well, I am with you because that's what you said you did. So, I mean, you just, it's just a way. it is. Duh. I can't be expected to have a child and a career and be able to do drugs and have sex all the time with a kid around. Huh. Wow. Plus Stevie Nix. I mean, she is how old now?

Weird. Times are changing. Stevie Nix is what 71 now? Ooh. Sorry. I don't mean to say, woof, at 71 because she's 72. Woof, man. So it's just in this interview if she, you know, about spirituality and if she, you know, how she handles it. And she said, some people are really afraid of dying. I'm not. I've always believed in spiritual forces. Really?

What about the spiritual force of the kid that you killed? But they, and I digress. Don't worry about that. You would have had to stop. your career and stop doing drugs and having sex because you have a kid so uh she said she absolutely knows that her mom is around her all the time and her mom you know died in 2012 very sad and she used a story about how she knows her mom is around her all the time because she was in her kitchen having bad acid reflux and she felt something almost tap her on her shoulder and felt a voice

inside of her say, is that Gatorade you're drinking? Now, she says I'd been sick and chugging down the Hawaiian punch. Just to be clear, I don't know. She probably realizes, but if she were here, I'd remind her that Gatorade and Hawaiian Punch, two different things. But it's okay. She said, I know that's not some romantic, gothic story of your mother coming back to you. It's your real mother walking into the kitchen and saying,

don't drink any more of that crap. and she laughs and she says how close she was to her mom. So, man, this story has just made Stevie Nix closer to my heart.

I really want to be more of a fan to Stevie than I ever was. And this story helps with that. I'll tell you that. At one point, you'd think you'd thought, Stevie Nix, you know, she's part of Fleetwood Mac.

And she's okay. And then you're, you think, well, my gosh, thank you, that she's still in Fleetwood Mac. Since she, you know, had an abortion because otherwise she would have had to, she thinks she would have had to stop Fleetwood Mac, and she thinks she would have had to stop doing drugs and having sex and partying during the, you know, the years after she had a kid. I mean, a lot of people still continue on with their life, Stevie, so it's possible that wouldn't have happened, but we'll never know, will we?

I know, you know, I do try to steer around specific, specific political stories on this show because I just feel like we get enough, we get enough. And I want to let you know what else is going on around the world. But I want to talk about, Balania Trump gave an interview talking about, being tested for COVID-19 and becoming positive, her and her husband. Well, now, Barron, the son, has tested positive for COVID-19.

He's 14 years old. And so they're talking about that. And I don't want anybody to get COVID-19 unless he's trying to get it to sell his plasma, like the people at BYU, Idaho. But that having been said, I see eating about it. And I don't want them to, I want them to be better and be quarantined and be over with it. but the picture that they show of Melania and Donald and Barron walking, it looks like, from Helicopter 1.

What is Barron like eight feet tall now? I mean, every time I see him, he's growing taller. This kid is, I mean, I guess I've, you know, my daughter's 13 and she's still growing. And my oldest son, when he was, you know, 14, 15, 16, he was, you know, became a monster. you know, huge. And so, I mean, that's when it happens, man. But, I mean, this kid is like, I mean, he's ready to play,

he's ready to play basketball. I don't know if he likes it. I don't know. He probably likes to just sit home and play video games and, you know, vape. I get it. But give the kid a basketball done. Let him go.

I mean, he can run your organization and make a few million from the NBA. Oh, no, he couldn't play for the evil NBA because they get money from China. Never mind. I forgot what I was. talking about. I mean, as long as we're taught political kids and political leader kids, I use that word leader, small case. You know, Hunter Biden story is everywhere again because of the New York Post story.

And it talks about, you know, the Ukrainian deal and they've got pictures and there's a laptop that was turned into a computer guy fixer. Computer fixer guy. And didn't get paid for it. And he doesn't know if it was Hunter Biden who dropped it off. He just guesses it was. And there was a sticker from the Bo Biden Foundation, which, by the way, no longer exists.

But he was going to cure cancer with that foundation. But I digress. And so it's now, and because of that story, the light has turned on to social media because they were locking down people from sharing the story. story, right? They limited the distribution of the New York post story. Oh, okay, because they were concerned, and it was nice of social media, Twitter and Facebook to be concerned that it might be misinformation because we've talked so much. That's what I want out of my life is to have Twitter

and Facebook decide for me what is misinformation. Right? Thank you. I know. I know. I know. So that's the argument now. We've gotten away from what the actual story is. The actual story is Hunter again being a dirtbag. And I use that term lovingly. I mean that lovingly. He's out partying. There's a video that hasn't been released

that apparently is part of some of the pictures that were released in the story that has him, you know, naked and smoking crack. do I want to see the video? Yes is the answer. Would I look twice? I don't know. I can't promise.

I can't say that I wouldn't look twice, but I will watch it once. But we know that he's a dirtbag. My gosh, and the whole thing behind the Ukrainian deal and the Chinese deal, and I know I'm getting plugged. Just remember the Peter Schweitzer, who we talked to on the show, detailed it in a couple of his books. If you go back and listen to episode 227, of chewing the fat.

I detail who is Hunter Biden from a story that ran down his life. I've talked about what a, you know, I feel, I feel bad for him because there's no wonder he's doing drugs and he's got a stripper that gave birth to one of his children that he's paying for. And he's having, I think, more kids with another woman. And now the money flow is going to dry up. So I hope everything works out for him. I mean that.

But, I mean, he's not. in tough spot. But now we've turned away from that because the social media people have decided to limit the distribution. And that's the fight now, other than whether the story is true and whether, you know, Mr. Biden, former vice president, Joseph Biden, running for president of the United States, actually met these Ukrainian people. He's always said, no, he didn't even know about it. I have never talked to my son about being his business or anything. Why would you? You don't talk your children about what they do. That's just dumb.

And so, you know, but this, if true, proves that that was a lie. I think we all knew it was a lie, but we didn't have any proof. So people were all wound up. Accounts getting blocked, getting suspended for sharing the Biden story. And it was just amazing. So now there's the big fight over social media, whether they're going to continue with the 2 30, Section 230 immunities. We've talked about that on the show before.

They shouldn't, or they should just say, hey, we'll get the immunities. You can post anything you want. Go ahead. Unless it's illegal, you can post anything you want. You know, now, who, then you get into, that's where we're at, right? When you get into the weeds with what they think is illegal.

But Jack, CEO of Twitter, said yesterday, And I think it was, I mean, it was well into the night. So it was some time after so many accounts had been suspended and the story had been limited for distribution. He said, oh, you know what? The decision to block URL sharing without context was unacceptable. Oh! Oh, okay. So you're not sorry that you did it.

It's all your in-company policies that have kicked into gear to limit this story distribution and to suspend accounts that continue to share this story. You're just saying, oh, you know what? We decided to do it. We didn't tell people exactly what the context was that we were doing it with. That's unacceptable. Thank you, Jack. Thanks.

Good luck in front of Congress, my friend. Good luck. All right, I'll stick with this stuff just so you know what's going on. A new survey from Pew Research Center found that 82% of voters, of which many of you listening to this show are. I know, weird how that looks. Those of you here, you know, in the United States of America. Voters in this center of the Pew Research survey found 82% of the, the voters to think it's important for the country to know who won the election within a day

or two of November 3rd. I chuckle because it's, I doubt that's going to happen. However, half of you, 50% are confident that this will happen. So the other half, or I don't know how many, what percentage says, I don't know. have are concerned because the election officials have all said expect the delay it's not going to happen we've got mail-in ballots people that vote we got early voting we got we got we got we got mail-in ballots to verify we have we've so you're not going to know we there's just no way we could know oh okay well hopefully we'll have the social media

companies ready and willing to let us know from reliable news is when it actually happens because if not they're going to limit the distribution of many of our accounts, letting people know what's going on. So good luck. I think I'm in the 50% that says it's not going to happen. It just isn't going to happen. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. I got it.

I got it. I'm going to leave you today with a story from South Carolina. It's a story that talks about a squirrel named Chris Chris, who predicts this election, the presidential election. Now, I could read it to you and tell you all about Chris Chris and the owners who had another squirrel that used to participate in due elections, but it died. I know, we lost them. I know. But then, according to Serena Ash,

Chris Chris came into their lives. She's just a temporary caregiver. And so they put... You know what? I'm just going to let you listen to the report. This is a report from a local television station. I think it's from WCBD TV in their local news report.

Chris Chris the voting squirrel lives apparently at Area 51 bicycle shop so there's that but you've got to hear this news report as just awesome across the country are heading to the polls early to cast their vote for the 2020

presidential election news two's Antonio since they've had the chance to witness a unique first-time voter make his presidential pick. Today, right beyond these doors, is someone special who decided to make their early vote. Oh, Area 51, bicycle shop. And that's the one special is Chris Chris the squirrel, who's taking part in the squirrel vote,

where a squirrel is put to the test and chooses its pig for the presidential election. That role was originally helped by Newkegee, but after he passed away, it was time for a new voter to take the mantle. Right. We thought it had ended, but apparently Chris Chris was sent into our lives, We lost them and then got him back. Oh, wait. I think we'll continue with the tradition.

Chris Chris's temporary caregiver, Serena Ash, says one of her friends told her something surprising when it comes to the squirrel boat. But she actually said she's going to vote for the squirrel. Wait, she's going to vote for the squirrel? What the squirrel voted for. Oh, okay. So that's an interesting thing that we found.

The way it works is that 10 nuts will be placed in two bowls with the names of the candidates on each bowl. The bull that Chris Chris eats the most nuts from by the time he's done with the ones. lunch is declared the winner. Okay. As he chops away to make his choice, Serena explains how she thinks the squirrel vote

could help people. Okay. I think it probably will be a release. I think they're regular, from the news that we've been hearing. Right. But it just might get people out to vote. Right. And the end, Chris Chris decided that President Trump will get another four years in office.

Nice. And Serena leaves us with one final thought. If a squirrel can do it, then people can do. And now we all? Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. I think that we can, I think we can all go by those words. If a squirrel could do it, then we can too.
