Starting point is 00:01:07 Did we gain an hour? Did we lose an hour? I just want to go on record right now. I do not like this time change part of the world right now. Boo. Go back to the way it was and just stay there. Please. I know there's every time we have a time change,
Starting point is 00:01:31 we go through these stories and we should, you know, save it and not save it and it should be this. And we need it. We don't need it. We don't need it anymore. So let's just go back to the old way, you know, the way that was it was before now. And leave it that way. What do you say? Raise your hands if you're with me. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. Welcome. to chewing the fat. All right, just so you know, you'd probably need to dry your eyes a little bit
Starting point is 00:02:10 and know that, you know, it'll be okay. I don't know how you're going to get on with your life now, but we've got to keep trying. I know, we've got to keep trying today. Or actually, yesterday, if you're listening live, on 11-5, 2020, we formally, as the United States, left the Paris Agreement. I know.
Starting point is 00:02:36 I don't know how we're going to get by. I don't know what's going to happen. Keep your head down. Be careful. There's still another 189 countries remaining in the deal. And we know that they have committed to keeping the increase in average temperatures worldwide below 2 degrees Celsius or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit
Starting point is 00:03:01 but the United States is no longer in that deal. So, I know. I know. I just have to just take a moment and breathe, okay? Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Goodbye, Paris. I hope you've just taken a breath and dried your eyes and are feeling better now. So what did you search for on Election Day? if anything at all. You know, millions of you voted early.
Starting point is 00:03:34 And then many of you went to the polls because you wanted to be out there and vote on the day of the election. Good for you. Either way. But Google Trends reported that fries near me and liquor stores near me were at all-time highs on election day. Now, I can honestly say that, I mean, I know where I live and where I work and where I travel to. And I've never searched for fries near me. I mean, I've traveled. I've been all over the country.
Starting point is 00:04:16 And a liquor store is near me. I don't think so. It's possible. But I've never. Not once. Not once. searched for fries near me. Now, I just take for granted that if there's, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:33 wherever I'm at, if there's a restaurant or a fast food restaurant, that they have fries. Like when I go somewhere and I pass a restaurant, I assume, and I know what happens when we assume, but I assume that that particular place has fries. now according to Google pizza Chinese food
Starting point is 00:04:59 sushi and Mexican food were highly sought and liquor stores showed up again in the searches now people also searched on election day for projected winter too early to call incumbent and electoral vote
Starting point is 00:05:18 I guess I could see that among foreign countries where people showed the most interest, according to Google. Most interest in the U.S. election. Cuba, top the list. They want to know if we're going to go to communism or not, I'm guessing. Germany, yeah. You know, they want to know what's going on with them.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Ethiopia, Iran, and Ghana in the top five. You know, if you're in Ghana, all you're thinking about is what's happening in the United States. Clearly, clearly. Now I know that we do actually have listeners to chewing the fat in Ghana, and I would like to say, hello, thank you for listening. I appreciate it very much. There are tracking. Yeah, we track you.
Starting point is 00:06:09 That's right. We track you, all right? We know where you're at. Not specifically. At least I don't know specifically. I just know different countries that listen to chewing the fat. And there are listeners in Ghana. So welcome, and I can well understand why you'd want to know.
Starting point is 00:06:25 a little bit of what's going on. And, you know, welcome. Hello. How you doing? I can say hello to many people. We've got plenty in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, Japan. We've driven the Google searches. These people are listening to Chewing the Fat, and they want to be up to date and know
Starting point is 00:06:45 what I'm talking about here on the show. Japan, U.S. Virgin Islands, Russian Federation, and Guatemala lead the list. And then, of course, there are some listeners in Ghana, as I said. So, hello and welcome to chewing the fat. You can always email chewing the fat at chewing the fat at the blaze.com and let me know if you actually know where fries are near you. Or did you have to search for fries near me? No, liquor stores, seriously, liquor stores, I guess I could kind of understand, although you see it, don't you? When you look around?
Starting point is 00:07:22 But fries near me? I don't know. I question that. I question that. I mean, I guess you want to know if you, I mean, you know what you're getting at McDonald's and Wendy's and, you know, I mean, and KFC. I mean, you know what you're getting, right? Arby's, you know, the kind of fries that they have and, you know, in and out burger and chick filet. You know that those places have fries and you know what kind of fries they are and you know what you're getting.
Starting point is 00:07:53 So I guess maybe if you wanted to know local places that were fries near you, you would search for that and hope that, you know, Bill's barbecue has great ratings because their fries are the best. But I really don't understand it. I don't understand why you'd be searching for fries near me. You know every place that has fries. You know what they're like. You know whether you like them or not.
Starting point is 00:08:26 I just seems kind of weird. That's all. It just seems kind of weird. I know it's just me. I get it. And is it just me? I've got some space stories today, but is it just me that, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:38 I don't know that I'm bummed, but the asteroid that was supposed to hit the Earth on Election Day didn't? Now, I don't, I'd take that back. It wasn't supposed to hit the Earth. It was thought it was possible. They had said that one was, going to be really close, who's going to give us, you know, a flyby.
Starting point is 00:08:58 And it's possible that it could get sucked in. It didn't. It just got close. Now, in the last couple days, we've had asteroids flyby at, you know, in the window of the asteroid flybys, but not that close, really. And we were supposed to have a couple, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:17 and then I think today, for those of you again, listening live on the 5th of November 2020, there was supposed to be an asteroid come by. that, again, you know, close in asteroid miles, but not really close at all. Now, there's some, we're always getting asteroids flying by. Now, there's some that they're tracking that are going to be, you know, next month in December, and the next year we've got some big ones that are supposed to be coming that we're tracking. But there's always the rogue asteroid we have to worry about, right?
Starting point is 00:09:47 because to quote the documentary Armageddon, it's a big ass guy. And, you know, the budget is what it is. So you can't track everything. So keep your head up or down. But, you know, there's no guarantees. All right, there's no guarantees. There's never any guarantees, but it's important to be prepared.

Starting point is 00:12:52 All right, every so often, we get news, and I say every so often, I would say every, I don't know, it feels like every two or three months. You know, we get a story from space that talks about radio bursts. And I would like to know, I'm going to have to talk to some of these dangleberries because they don't do anything. They don't mean anything. They're just noise from space. And I know that this latest one that we were all excited about happened in April,
Starting point is 00:13:24 and it's the first fast radio burst pinned down to a specific source, providing a unique opportunity to finally study one of these cosmic flashes in detail. Now, I'm a huge fan of space. Love it. I need a lot of space as an individual that takes up a lot of it. Now, these radio bursts were first discovered not too long ago, actually. You know, back in, I don't know, 2006, 2007, somewhere like that. And now they've discovered, you know, more radio bursts and they've discovered some repeating bursts.
Starting point is 00:14:06 And this one was one giant wave one within our Milky Way. So it was the first one, right? Now, I haven't, I don't. get excited as some of the scientists do. I read a release from one person. I guess it would be one astronomer who was, this is the person I think I want to talk to. I think I want to talk to this person. He said, now we know at least one source is likely an exotic stellar object called a magnetar.
Starting point is 00:14:44 That's a type of young neutron star left over after a large star explodes that has an extremely powerful magnetic field. This is a graduate student in Caltech, Christopher Boschnik. He's the lead author of one of the studies. He said in a press briefing, When I looked at the data for the first time, I froze and was barely, I got to quote him right. What am I doing? This is Christopher Bosnick. I want to quote him right.
Starting point is 00:15:14 sorry Chris. All right. I know this was from your press briefing on Monday. When I looked at the data for the first time, I froze. And I was basically paralyzed with excitement. Right. Now, I've only seen the stories. I haven't looked at the data.
Starting point is 00:15:36 So I don't know if I want to see the data because I don't know that I'm ready to be frozen and paralyzed with excitement. But this is the guy we need to talk to about these radio bursts because I read about them. I want to be excited about them. But they don't do anything. They're nothing. They're just noise from space that are washing across our listening devices. Okay. Thank you. I don't know what we're going to get out of it. You know, like then you get the story. These are the stories I want from Japan, sent mice into space, discovered a protein that could slow down aging. Okay, that's the kind of stuff I want. Is that what the radio burst is going to give me?
Starting point is 00:16:20 I hope so. I want that to happen. Please. I want the protein discovered to slow down aging. I want it to help Alzheimer's. I want it to help any kind of dementia disease. I want any of that. So the university sent 12 mice to the International Space Station.
Starting point is 00:16:42 And the experiment aimed to test the affront of the protein NRF2, capital N, small case RF, the number two, which acts as a regulator of adaptive responses against various environmental stresses. I mean, I don't have to tell you that I know. NRF2 induction is known to prevent various diseases, including cancer and diabetic complications. Nice, I say I'm ready to be induced with NRF2 at any point in my life right now. Half the mice sent to space were genetically engineered to not have NRF2, while the remaining six were unmodified and still had NRF2. They were transported by the SpaceX Falcon Rocket and spent 31 days in space.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Previous research has shown that spending time in space can lead to problems as bone density loss. We've talked about that before, immune dysfunction in both humans and rodents. Right. So we know that these factors, you know, there's a number of factors that go into that. But, you know, that's one of the issues that we have with spaceflight, right, to humans. So of the two groups, the mice without NRF2 experience changes in blood components similar to those humans go through when aging. Meanwhile, the unmodified mice showed little changes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Hey, again, just doused me in NRF2. I'm ready for. That's fine. So they're looking to mitigate some of the stresses associated with space travel and possibly aging. Maybe I didn't make myself clear. Dip me into a bucket of NRF2. That's all I want. I just dip me in.
Starting point is 00:18:32 That's fine. Efforts, you know, we are spending all kinds of money on this plane. planet to live longer, to go without, you know, to fight against all kinds of different diseases. We have, we have, I mean, we've got millionaires and billionaires spending their life, taking vitamins and eating correctly and using, you know, cryogenic freezing and we're using all kinds of stuff to live longer, feel better and have a, a youthful age in our body, right? Not yearly human age,
Starting point is 00:19:13 but we want the younger age in our body. So if dipping me into a vat of NRF2 makes it so I'm not going to get Alzheimer's, there's no dementia happening, there's no diabetes happening, and I'm going to get younger physically, again, dip me into a vat of NRF2.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. I wish I was drinking NRF2. I'll tell you that right now. Oh. If you have any black market in RF2, email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. and we will
Starting point is 00:20:24 we'll talk we'll talk okay I mean I know that the FDA is saying that the new Alzheimer drug from biogen that aducanab
Starting point is 00:20:38 A D-U-C-A-N-U-M-A-B it's a treatment for Alzheimer's disease from biogen their stock went up a bunch because the FDA said you know it appears to be safe and you know we appear to endorsed the improving the treatment. So this new aducanab,
Starting point is 00:20:56 aducanumab. Aducamab from biogen is the new new, you know, new Alzheimer drug. I don't think it's NRF2. I just dip me into that. It doesn't say it says this is here
Starting point is 00:21:13 treatment of Alzheimer's. NRF2 is going to take it away and make me feel years younger and you'd be that. youthful skin. So, you know, I don't, I don't think adukamab is any NRF2. Never know, though. Never know.
Starting point is 00:21:42 I get it. So, you know, I understand. Hey, you know the thing? I started watching, all right? I told you I wasn't going to do it until this. weekend but I started watching Queen's Gambit on Netflix. Really good. If I wasn't, if I felt better last night, I would have gone through more episodes, but I was really tired from the all, you know, up all night election night and I still have
Starting point is 00:22:12 I don't know, I'm all stuffed up. I don't know what it's from, but I'm just tired, okay? I need to be able to be bathed at NRF2. but I did watch the first episode and a half, a couple episodes of Queens Gambit on Netflix. Really good. I'm a huge chess fan, so it's all about chess, and it's also talking about taking drugs.
Starting point is 00:22:35 So I'm a fan. I am a fan. But a young girl that is, you know, a genius of chess and math and is just senseless. up to be this great chess player, but she has to do it on drugs. And who can't be a fan of that? That's what I thought. Nobody. Hey, a reminder to subscribe to this podcast, Chewing the Fat. If you're listening to this show right now and you are not a subscriber, you are just a freeloader.

There is no doubt about it. She loves, you remember she was in the deal with 50 cent that she offered, she used to date him, and then now she's offering to, you know, go back and take care of a little business if he, you know, hates Trump.
Starting point is 00:25:08 So she posted her I voted video on Instagram, and of course she's topless and she's got her I voted stickers over the, you know, over what we're not supposed to be able to see on Instagram, having, forbid. But, and she, you know, does her promo to go vote and don't be intimidated and don't let, don't let those evil Trump people with guns at the voting station intimidate you. You hold your head high and vote. And it'll be an overwhelming victory for Joe Biden and vote for these judges that will make it impossible for people to carry guns. And, you know, but the whole point does, she just likes being naked in front of the camera. And if she could be totally new to front the camera she would. I mean, all that time, she's always posting stuff, you know, in a bathtub with
Starting point is 00:25:53 books covering her up and trying to hawk stuff all the time. That's what she does. And am I going to look? Well, yeah, I sure am. Do I want to be her boyfriend? No. But I'm going to look. Duh. Speaking of another great female in our lives, did you see where, what's her face, Kathy Grippin, posted, she retweeted her other pick another shot. The same thing of her decapitated Trump head. I know. She's back at it. All she did was whine and wine and wine and wine that she lost her life
Starting point is 00:26:33 and Trump shut her down. And then, now she's going to go back to it again. And look, look, it's a stupid thing. Did she deserve to get what she got because of it. I mean, maybe. She's Kathy Griffin. Do I really care?
Starting point is 00:26:56 I've wanted to like her for years. And I just, every time, every time that it gets to a point of, I want to like Kathy Griffin, she does something that I go, who, Kathy, what are you doing? I mean, she is an American dream. She really is an American dream.
Starting point is 00:27:15 She's on her own. She's been, she's worked on her own. She's traveled the world. She's booked, she's got her own booking company. She books her own business. She is the one out earning money, you know, surviving on her own. That's the American dream. And yet, it appears that she hates America.
Starting point is 00:27:34 And she would say that, I don't hate America. I just hate the way America is. Oh. Oh, okay, Kathy, no problem. Don't worry about it. So anyway, she's, you know, back to wanting to be noticed. again. So the only way to do that is to post that picture of the bloody head of President Trump. It's agonizing.
Starting point is 00:27:55 I mean, Hollywood is agonizing. I mean, that's, they all, they're all, sorry, did I say agonizing? I meant brave. I meant brave, really. They, they all just get together and they just, they're so brave, and they just bashed Trump. And it's never, if Trump does win this thing again, these people are, they might be dying, killing themselves anyway, wanting Biden. If Biden wins, they're going to continue to beat up on Trump. It's made their lives the last four years.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Jimmy Kimmel. Trump shouldn't be allowed to win a state unless they can find it on a map. Oh, that's funny, Jimmy, funny. You're going to say that? What are you going to say about Joe Biden? Are you going to turn the tables on old Joe and how crazy he is and how old he is once he wins? Is that
Starting point is 00:28:54 going to happen? Because nobody's going to watch you then. John Cusack I think this will be like 2018 where it took a while to see Dem Gaines play out and Biden will get 270 but fact so many people didn't just look
Starting point is 00:29:09 the other way but voted for the mentally ill virus spreading child abducting Nazi rapist. Hard to find a punchline here we are ill. Are we? John? Are we? Because that's funny. Hard to find a punchline to something that isn't a joke, John. Tom York. I don't want my kid Who even is Tom York?
Starting point is 00:29:29 I want to know who Tom York is. I don't even know who he is. He's got a million followers on Twitter. Who is he? You know who he is, Mr. Radiohead. But I got it. Okay, I got it. Who is he?
Starting point is 00:29:42 I don't want my kids inheriting a world run by a flag-waving Facebook tin pot dictators utterly be read of moral authority while they watch 200-mile winds pick up and blow their lives away like the Wizard of Oz having internalized this force-fed sense of powerlessness. Just say it.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Are you, Tom? Are you? Oh, you're so much smarter than all of us. And your radio headband. Just shut up. John Cleese, who has been an agonizing hater of Trump? Trump's behavior now reminds me of a cartoon where a tennis player is having a hissy fit
Starting point is 00:30:16 and the umpire is saying to the other one, couldn't you just let her win? Ah! Oh, you guys are funny. I mean, funny. And John Legazamo, I always wanted to like John Legazamo. Can't they just stop? Please, I want to like your work.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I want to. John, I've always been a fan. I like your work. And then they just have to speak about politics. Why? He's a Colombian boy and actor, John Legazumel. I don't know if you know who John is. but he's an actor
Starting point is 00:30:54 and he's done a lot of voice work and I just love him. I just love him. He's done a lot of really good work. In fact, we just go to the IMDB page and see what old John has done. I mean,
Starting point is 00:31:05 I didn't even realize he was in this latest Mandalorian. He's the voice of Gore Koresh, which, by the way, I watched the latest Mandalorian, which was released. I should have talked about that. I've got to remember to talk about that on Friday.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Timothy Oliphant was in the latest episode. He was great. It was going to be, I hope he does more work on the show because it was well worth, well worth watching with Timothy Oliphant there. Well, I didn't realize he was the voice, you know, John Ligazamo. But, I mean, I remember watching him on a show a long time. He's been in so much.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Look at all this work he's done. I want to be a fan. I want to be a fan. He was a doc on ER. Wow. How many episodes was he on in ER? He was there for a year or so. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:54 He made some money. They're the Brothers Garcia. There was a show. What show was it a hundred years ago that made me really, really turned into this huge fan? Was it die a... No, it wasn't diehard 2. That movie was... It didn't not go well at all.
Starting point is 00:32:11 But down a borderline, mixed blood, die hard 2, hanging with the homeboys. I don't remember. He's been in so much. I want to like him so bad. And he's, and now he's speaking, okay, this is what made me, you know, get upset. He posted, you know, to his social media account. Floridians lemmings, a term, you know, okay, thank you.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Appreciate it. He, uh, he compared Floridians to rats. Did he really compare them to rats? Florida is dead to me. Let the lemmings drive their golf carts into the ocean. John, just because it went for Trump. Oh, what a shame, John. I'm sure Florida's going to be bummed.
Starting point is 00:33:01 They're dead to you. And because they used lemmings, that usually means rats and compared to rats. Well, let's not overdo it. I mean, he said lemmings. So let's just go with lemmings, okay? But he's so upset that the, that the,
Starting point is 00:33:21 Hispanic community, particularly among Cubans and Venezuelans, went for Trump. Well, okay. You know, if you live in Florida, John, move out. See you later. Have a nice day. I know there's a bunch of the other want to go to Canada now. We've talked about it before. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Get out. I mean, I know that, you know, we saw the stories about how to move to Canada's trending, well, good luck. Just go. Go. We know what nothing is stopping you. Go. I can't.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Just go. Just go. I mean, sure, good luck with COVID. You're going to have to maybe sneak across the border and then just pretend like you were living there for a long time. That's it, though. Maybe you can get, if you cross in New York, you're running to Cuomo's daughter's boyfriend or ex-boyfriend now, probably.
Starting point is 00:34:20 probably. And maybe he'll help you out if you say that you were mad at the governor. And he shouldn't have kicked you out of the mansion as long as you were taking care of his daughter. Right, right. Okay, let me cross, please. I'm on your side. You might give a shot. Well, we can talk. I don't know. I can't break it down anymore. It's just driving me crazy, this whole election thing. Look, Donald Trump is still the president of the United States until January 20th, 2021. Falls on a Wednesday, I believe.
Starting point is 00:34:56 So you'll be able to continue your hate for him until then. And then you can still hate him. You'd just be happy that he's out of office. And maybe you guys can write some other jokes that are actually funny and aren't based on how much we hate Donald Trump. Okay? All right.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Or, you know, we can just dig into that some more, which is agonizing. Or we could just talk about a doctor in India who paid 7 million rupees for what he claims is a fraudulent lamp. I know. Now, two men have been arrested and are in custody waiting to be charged. All right. So the doc was working in London and he comes back to India.
Starting point is 00:35:40 And these two guys, they're called fraudsters in this story. Two guys trying to make a buck. allegedly duped a doctor into buying an Aladdin-style wish-granting lamp. So I would say, look, if you believe it, isn't it true? So the lamp is it looks just like an Aladdin-style lamp. They have a picture of it here. For those of you listening live today, I'll turn the camera around. there. And
Starting point is 00:36:22 they've got the two guys in custody. One of the men his wife is involved in the con as well and she's out of the run. I'm out of here. Have a nice day. So in the complaint the doc said one of the men pretended to be an occultist
Starting point is 00:36:39 and made a gin, a supernatural figure. And then a supernatural figure appeared from the lamp. So he believed that if, you know, you rub the lamp a genie would appear. He asked if he could touch the genie, take the lamp home and they
Starting point is 00:36:55 said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We can't do that. It might cause you harm. So then they came back and said, you know, we could sell it to you. And then it would bring you health, wealth,
Starting point is 00:37:12 and good fortune. And the doc is like, well, okay, sure, I'll give you 7 million rupees. No problem. I want to have this magical genie lamp that I can rub and a genie will appear and bring me health, wealth, and good fortune. Sure, no problem.
Starting point is 00:37:41 And so they sold it to him. And then he realized that it wasn't true. Thank you. I just realized that it wasn't true. And the genie was actually just one of the men in disguise. Really? So apparently they've done this con before. People want to believe, man.
Starting point is 00:38:14 I do too. I want a genie lamp to rub. And they'll bring me health, wealth, and good fortune. And it's going to have it to be dipped in the space stuff. What's the space stuff I've got to be dipped into? Oh, yeah, the NRF2. I want to be, it's not space stuff, it's a protein. I want to be dipped into the NRF2.
Starting point is 00:38:40 But if there's a genie lamp that I can rub, I'm all for that too. I'll give you some rupees. They had a full con on this guy. So then he realized that, no. So these two guys, and then the guy's got arrested. Well, come on. They worked out this whole con and the doc actually believed it. And other people have believed it too.
Starting point is 00:39:07 They're making money from the con. I mean, they're making it appear like a genie comes out of the bottle. And they're selling the genie. I mean, the genie comes out of the lamp. That's not a bottle. It's a lamp, Jeff. And it's not the genie. I love genie or whatever the hell that TV show was.
Starting point is 00:39:28 I dream of Jeannie. Which, you know, it's not her kind of genie bottle was, you know, kind of cool. I mean, I watched it. I get it. Barbara Eden. Larry Hagman. I know. But it was just an Aladdin lamp.
Starting point is 00:39:46 And they create, make it look like this guy appears. and it works? And he gives them money? Okay. No problem. And then he realized, it's not one. It was just one.
Starting point is 00:40:03 It wasn't real. It was just those people fooling me. It's not a real lamp. I got conned. I'm going to go to the police. Okay, Doc. Now, I will say, I'm sure there's probably more out there
Starting point is 00:40:17 because there's probably people that didn't report it. That's a good con. And they, I don't know how many they've sold, but if you were to have been conned with the magical genie lamp and you got it home and realized that you've rubbed
Starting point is 00:40:35 the shine off of this thing and nothing has happened and you were conned out of money, would you tell anybody? Would you tell anybody? Maybe. Maybe, yeah, I bought that from. A couple of guys told me a genie would pop out and bring me health, good fortune, and wealth.
Starting point is 00:40:52 But as you can see, I've been rubbing that thing forever and nothing is happening. That's what she said.

Starting point is 00:41:13 And it's a glimpse of the worsening crisis that lies ahead for the winner of the presidential election. Wait, what? I thought if the one guy won, it'd be over. Hmm, that's weird how that happens. I told you yesterday, I mean, we are almost,
Starting point is 00:41:30 I think I said by Thanksgiving, it may be sooner than that, but by Thanksgiving, I mean, we will have 10 million total cases here in the U.S. And when that happens, get ready for the press to be all-consuming. It's becoming.
Starting point is 00:41:47 of Donald Trump and we can't wait for Joe Biden to take office, you know, assuming he wins the election. And they don't even know. I mean, we're getting ready to Britain is locking down again. Other European countries are starting to lock down. Iran is telling students, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, sure. I know it's the traditional student day March and everything, but burn your American flags at home. Those Israeli flags, too. Burn those at home too. Okay? You can't go out.
Starting point is 00:42:23 It's COVID-19. So if you're going to burn flags, burn them at home. Okay. No problem. I got you, dog. I mean, we're close. According, as of this recording right now, we're at 9,851,167 total cases.
Starting point is 00:42:46 We have lost. 240,000, 342 souls. But when that hits total cases of 10 million, man, the press is going to be on fire. And they didn't even know. We talked about it, I think, yesterday, right? We talked a little about how we, we don't know what makes it go long,
Starting point is 00:43:04 what makes it go short. We, I saw, someone sent me a, uh, uh, how COVID-19 affects the body. But we don't know if it's going to be, really bad or kind of weak. I mean, you've got nervous system, taste and smell, lungs, cardiovascular system,
Starting point is 00:43:26 digestive system, musculoskeleton system, and does it affect it all? Some it does. Others, it only affects a portion of their body and not all. And maybe it does affect all of those parts, but at a weaker level. We just don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:43 We do know that apparently the long COVID effects, multi-symptom effects in 10 to 25% of the people, three months after infection. We had our listener tell us that he was testing positive for the antibodies eight months after. And he still is suffering from loss of taste. So, I mean, they're trying to tackle the long-haul sufferers of COVID. but who knows and it's you know
Starting point is 00:44:22 has it been like the flu not really but apparently the flu has just gone away I you know I guess I don't know of course it hasn't silly but I mean we just we don't know this is something that has to be dealt with I know I know but other countries you know there's still suffering we're locking down it's just a it's been a
Starting point is 00:44:44 it's been a nightmare been a nightmare. And I don't, do I think we should lock it down? Absolutely not. We've talked about that a bunch. You know, I don't keep beating it. I don't want to be kicking a dead horse. Those aren't dead horses, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:45:02 Those are sufferers from coronavirus. Okay. All right. But, you know, if there's nothing we can do, then the only thing to do is try and be as safe as possible and not lock us into our homes forever. Right? Right?
Starting point is 00:45:26 I mean, we're never going to know. I mean, China is still blocking the who. And they're still, I mean, they're still blocking the who and others who want to get in and figure out how it started, where it started, that kind of thing. They say they're being open about it, but no.
Starting point is 00:45:48 I mean, I think the World Health Organization now has finally said, you know, never mind. You know, we'll get to it later. Don't worry about it. I mean, China has never even, they're still, remember we, in the beginning, we went down the list. They didn't leave 83,000 cases forever. And I think there's still at last time we checked. We were, like, okay, now I got to look it up where they at. They were in the 50s, 59th now on the list of total cases.
Starting point is 00:46:18 at 86,000 115 total cases you've got to be kidding me the most populous country in the world 1 billion 439 million 323,726 human beings in that country
Starting point is 00:46:39 and they aren't close to India and the United States of America as far as cases India is closer with a billion three and they have 8 million, almost 8.5 million total cases. The United States, we have 331 million according to this.
Starting point is 00:47:02 And we're at 48, I mean at 9 million, almost 10 million total cases. But China has 86,000. Stop it. Stop it. Oh, and remember, I told you, I did the story earlier this week about the rescue, the SEAL Team 6 rescue in Niger and Nigeria from the farmer that was taken hostage.
Starting point is 00:47:29 And we spent all this time and money saving him from, you know, from being kidnapped. I thought there was something else to it. Well, then I see a story yesterday about an army commander who is saying, and giving the pleading the case for more troops in Somalia. Huh. Now, I thought we had troops in Somalia at one time.
Starting point is 00:48:00 I don't know if they're still there or not. I know, you know, we were training them. I know we have, you know, some listeners in Somalia. So welcome. Tell your friends and neighbors. I don't know if you're military or not, but wherever you're in Somalia. So hello. and, you know, enjoy the weather.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Sure, it's beautiful this time of year. I don't think I've ever, I've never been to Somalia. But, I mean, Africa is a, you know, a terrorist land, right? He's using the case against al-Shabaab. But Trump has said that he was going to pull up our military out of those places. Has he done so? I mean, I know we're, according to this story, we've conducted. drone strikes in Somalia.
Starting point is 00:48:49 I mean, we're conducting drone strikes for, you know, safety and in helping the Somali armed forces achieve security. Okay. And, uh, I know that we, you know, they like to say that we could make it rain from the sky. Yeah, well, I don't know that we, should we? I mean, you know, this, this guy's, this commander's making the case that we should.
Starting point is 00:49:14 But I'm still. Something. This doesn't lead into my... I was hoping for more on why we rescued the farmer. But that news is coming. But it does tie into, you know, our military forces in Africa and how we are there. And they want more. So we're pulling out of the Middle East. And now we're headed to Africa.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Yay!
