Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, welcome to Friday on Chewing the Fat. How in the world are you? You look great today. Congratulations to the Falls Church School Board for voting unanimously to rename Thomas Jefferson Elementary School and George Mason High School. Now, we know that the vote follows a six-month long process, which included hours of public hearings, hundreds of submitted written public comments and a survey of the community to inform the board's decision. We went through all of that knowing they were going to change the names. I don't know why this is such a big deal.
Starting point is 00:00:43 But according to school board chairman, Greg Anderson, the board took seriously the viewpoints and concerns raised by many students, parents, and staff, and community members. And we want them to know that students, staff, and community members feel safe, supported and inspired. Now, they haven't decided on new names for the schools,
Starting point is 00:01:04 but the schools that are going to be renamed are Thomas Jefferson Elementary and George Mason High School. Oh my gosh. Those two names are horrific. You can't have them on buildings. You can't. What do you bet?
Starting point is 00:01:22 We name Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, Brianna Taylor Elementary. school and George Mason High School is George Floyd High School. Want to make a bet? I didn't think so. Welcome to chewing the fat. So you can bet plenty of other states besides Virginia will be changing school names. And the U.S. House approved an updated defense policy bill that among other things would start the process for renaming military. BAS is named after Confederate leaders. Oh, okay, well, that's good.
Starting point is 00:02:08 We're going to rename everything. If the person did anything wrong ever, look bad, smell bad, talk bad, you can't name things after him. Never mind whatever good they did in the past, it doesn't outweigh the bad. That's the way it is. Hey, remember the buried treasure?
Starting point is 00:02:32 was found from the poem you know a forest fen hid the chest filled with coins and gold nuggets and other valuables estimated between one and three million dollars in the rocky mountains well we finally and somebody found it and they posted a picture that they had found it but we thought maybe it was him who found you know we were making jokes about that but we do know now that uh who found it we outed the 32-year-old medical student, and he came forward, said, I found the Fenn treasure. Jack Stouffe, S-T-U-E-F, said that he found the treasure and that he had met Fenn before Fenn passed away. He found, he found, he found, a, Fenn announced that it was found on June 6th, and he met with Jack
Starting point is 00:03:31 before he died in September. Now, Jack said that he was kind of embarrassed by how obsessed he was with trying to find it. And if I didn't find it, I would look like kind of an idiot. And maybe I didn't want to admit to myself what a hold it had on me. Now, he was behind the anonymous article published in Medium in September, in which he described finding the treasure. Now there's a lawsuit. A woman who believed the treasure was hidden in New Mexico claims the finder succeeded by hacking her texts and emails.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Jack has denied the allegation, saying he never met nor heard of the woman before the lawsuit, and the treasure was nowhere near New Mexico. So get over it. I found it. Okay? All right. Have a good day. Speaking of finding, you know, millions of dollars worth of stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Kelly Ann Conway. it's reported finalized her multi-million dollar deal to write an unvarnished eye-popping tell-all memoir about her controversial tenure as Trump's closest White House advisor. Okay, we'll see if it's good. It's speculated she got, you know, a lot more than two million bucks. That's what they gave John Bolton and his book was a zip. There was nothing in that book. So we'll see what Kelly Ann. I mean, she may have some people, you know, sweating in their boots a little bit.
Starting point is 00:05:06 We'll see. It'd be fun if she tells the truth about her husband and her daughter and the hate they had for Trump, which ended up driving her to quit, right? And she hasn't commented on it. This particular outfit that the story came from, the Griot. when the publication directly contacted her for a statement, she responded, I don't have any comment. Well, duh.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Why was... Okay. I can't believe you wouldn't say anything to us. Yeah, me either. But it'll be interesting. Not so much if she, you know, throws some people under the bus inside the White House from her time there. But be very fascinating to see if she tells the truth between her and her
Starting point is 00:05:58 husband because he hates Donald Trump. And that relationship had to be just incredible. And her daughter was always giving her problems. It'll be fascinating if she tells the truth. Although, I think a lot of it with that will get edited out because, I mean, how much more can you rip your family apart? Nobody wants that.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Except us readers. As long as we're hanging around the way, House. For those of you thinking that something big is going to happen with Hunter Biden, good luck. Good luck. I know he's under investigation now and his tax returns are under investigation. And then it's claimed that they're, you know, linking, trying to find links between him and the Chinese company and the laptop emails. Where were you before the election? That's all I want to know. Why is this going on now? I mean, Hunter's been a dirt bag forever. And now, you know, before the election.
Starting point is 00:07:00 It didn't happen. And I didn't know. I'm the father. And I didn't know anything. Whatever. Okay. I mean, the kids of Joe Biden are got, they're both. I mean, Hunter and Ashley, the daughter, are both really going through hard times and have
Starting point is 00:07:21 gone through hard times for years because they're both Bo's brother and sister. They're not Hunter and Ashley. I mean, Bo is the one who passed away from cancer, and he was the golden child. We all know that. I mean, he was... Joe can't talk about his family without talking about his favorite son, Bo, and Bo's brother and sister, Hunter, and Ashley. And they've both had just, you know, struggling lives with sex addiction, drug addiction.
Starting point is 00:07:52 It's just, you know, incredible. And those two stories, are fun to read about too. And again, you know, yeah, I know they've had a tough time and we're not supposed to wallow in their dirt, but they're the ones that are in the
Starting point is 00:08:10 forefront. So if you've got all this dirt, let's wallow in it. Let me see it. Let me read about it. Let me hear about it. Let's go. Put another rock in that glass pipe hunter and let's fire that bad boy up. Quick update on Ellen. It's
Starting point is 00:08:28 been, well, she reported it herself. She has tested positive for COVID-19. So the show is paused now until January because of COVID-19. She posted on her social media, I'll see you again after the holidays. Okay. Well, you know, we talked about her and wife, hubby, Porta, struggling, and having a tough time in their marriage. And it's, you know, presumed that it's because Ellen is having such a tough time at the office. Well, the ratings have declined 37% since the prior season.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Now, the show is still a good show, right? It's still gaining some numbers. That's number three as far as the syndicated talk shows behind Live with Kelly and Ryan and Dr. Phil. But without sponsors, uh, times are tough. And according. to insiders, the show is losing sponsors and unable to get bigger sponsors. And also, it's harder to get some of the big name stars because they're all going to the other shows, especially my girl, Drew Barrymore, who I said, you heard it here on Chewing the Fat,
Starting point is 00:09:47 was going to take over for Ellen. And it's happening. So if Ellen, I mean, God forbid, get sick. But worst of all, I mean, she's off now during the the holidays and they had their, usually their big 12 days of giveaways, the seasonal event that gets all the sponsors and aspiring audience members. And this year, according to the show, 12 days is more condensed. We don't have as many sponsors. And this is like a making or breaking moment for the show. So if they don't pick up sponsors by the new year, times are going to be tough. And so chewing the fat will be.
Starting point is 00:10:30 proven correct. I know, I know. When you heard me talk about it before, you said, chewing the fat is right. I know, I know. And if you haven't, and you're listening to this for the first time or you're not a subscriber to the podcast,

Just choose a platform. iTunes, Iheart radio, Stitcher, Spotify. There's a plethora of other platforms out there and subscribe to chewing the fat. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Okay. You know, we talked about the minks that had coronavirus and the Danish government was talking about killing them all. They're killing minks in the U.S. now, too. but in in Denmark 17 million minks killed 17 million
Starting point is 00:11:33 I mean that's just an amazing number I remember the first time when we were talking about it was just an incredible number and it's just we got to bury him we got to kill them all we got to bury them they got coronavirus we got to kill them all
Starting point is 00:11:45 got to bury him okay I mean you realize that's and you can quote me on this a lot of minks, right? And so now, it looks like they buried some on some farms. They borrowed something. They buried some on some military bases. And some of the places that they buried them, they only buried them. And they dug a two-foot trench for however long it takes,
Starting point is 00:12:12 how big a trench that is for 17 million makes. Oh, that's a little one. We only buried two million in that hole. So, the, then they were bloating and gassing so they were coming up out of the ground and everybody was talking about the zombie minks. This is what happens when you have a knee-jerk reaction. But if you're going to kill all the minks, why do you just burn them? I don't understand. Why are you going to bury them?
Starting point is 00:12:39 Because now they're saying that they're contaminating the groundwater because they buried them in the ground. Well, I don't know. Some of the minks that were buried in a couple of feet of land, I can't. They couldn't have contaminated the groundwater in this amount of time, right? I mean, that's a, if they dug bigger holes for minks, if the holes were bigger for binks,
Starting point is 00:13:05 then, you know, you're talking about contaminating the groundwater, but I can't believe that, you know, the two foot deep trench is contaminating the groundwater at this point. It's been, you know, a short period of time. but why not just burn them? What about the air? What about it? What about it?
Starting point is 00:13:30 You're on a military base. You pile them up and you burn them and you blow the smoke, you know, away from your country. Blow it toward that other country. Who cares? It's not us. But just amazing.
Starting point is 00:13:47 I don't know why it just fascinates me these dead minks, man. It's really fascinating. It's a knee-jerk reaction. And I know it's, you know, they've got coronavirus, but we've got to get rid of them, or at least we think we do. And so we're going to kill them.
Starting point is 00:13:59 I mean, that's a great industry for that country. And that industry is just gone. Have a nice day. Goodbye. You know all those minks that you were selling for their coats and their fur? Whatever the hell else you were doing with those minks? Yeah, those days are over. Have a nice day.
Starting point is 00:14:18 We're killing them all. No, but they're my minks. and I was making, yeah, no, they're gone. Have a nice day. Okay. Thank you. Have a, have a nice day. Keep your eye out for those zombie minks from now on, okay?
Starting point is 00:14:34 Okay, you take care. Well, it's Friday. So we might as well have a little Operation Varsity Blues. Well, actually, it's Operation Varsity Blues. Tonight's episode, Olivia Jade. So, Olivia Jade, the daughter of Lori Loughlin and, uh, Massimo. He, she, uh, went on the, uh, went on the show, Red Table Talk. And she tried to get around her white privilege and, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:32 I don't know. This is why I said she shouldn't do interviews. Just don't, just be done with it. And go about your life. Don't try to ask, just could just do it. Your folks have already paid the price. They're going to jail. They're paying a fine.
Starting point is 00:15:51 They're doing public service. And then they're going to try to get some semblance of their life back. You don't need to make the rounds to say, Well, I was just the bubble I was in. That's the way I lived, you know, doing stuff like that advantage. It sounds so silly, but that's the bubble I grew up in. We got it. We know it.
Starting point is 00:16:15 And to go on Red Table Talk and, you know, she got, she took a big hit for going on Red Table Talk because it's, you know, it's three black women. And they were even saying that it's so disingenuous. And, you know, for her to go out. that show for the redemption story. And so many people have just piled on the, the bashing of Olivia Jane, which is the title of tonight's episode. And so it just really, I hope that the parents can reach out and say, shut up!
Starting point is 00:16:54 Stop talking! But apparently they haven't talked since they went to jail. you know, obviously they spent a lot of time together prior to, but since they went into jail, apparently, no talking. They're doing the COVID-19 thing, and they're in jail, and they haven't talked to the kids, and the kids haven't talked to them. So that's why, that's why now she's trying to make the rounds
Starting point is 00:17:22 and, and ask for forgiveness when she shouldn't be doing, just go back to stop. Just stop. You're just going to dig yourself into a deeper, by making all these by making all these rounds and trying to talk about your white privilege and ugh and now there's stories about lorry you know worried about prison time destroying her financially she'll be fine i mean she was down they downsized a little bit before they went into prison into the new you know 10 million dollar estate right isn't that what it cost i think so
Starting point is 00:17:58 it's top of my head that's i think they they downsized to the 10 million dollar joint So she's going to get out. And well, today, if you're listening live today on the 11th of December 2020, she's got seven more days. She's out on the 18th. That's my prediction that she's out on the 18th. So she'll be back home. Just Olivia Jade.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Here's my advice from Chewing the Fat and Operation Varsity Blues. Okay? Here's my advice. Stop speaking. Operation Varsity Blues. Okay. This white privilege thing, too, is, I mean, we, I don't know that I've necessarily talked about it a whole bunch. We, you know, different stories and stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:03 But we haven't got to the San Diego School District story where they held their white privilege training. And they told, you know, teachers are doing racist. We remember talking about it when it was in Seattle when they had their special training. But when you go through the stuff that San Diego School District, I mean, I don't know that I could take it. I don't know that I could take it. We acknowledge that we meet on stolen land taken from indigenous peoples. Expect to experience some discomfort. Guilt, anger, apathy, frustration, closed-mindedness, defensiveness.
Starting point is 00:19:47 That's white fragility. white privilege and culture. Since white people in America hold most of the political, institutional, and economic power, they receive advantages that non-white groups do not. Oh, okay. More under white privilege, my ability to thrive, not just survive in this country, is being preserved at every level of power without me having to do anything at all. I don't even have to vote.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Oh, okay. Under the heading, you are a racist. Try to use one word to answer the question, how would this make you feel? You are a racist. I think this to yourself, according to the paperwork. Number two,
Starting point is 00:20:38 what would you want to say to someone who tells you this? That is, you are a racist. Well, I would say, I'm supposed to think to myself or answer. No, I'm not. Try to use one word answer the question. How would you this make you feel? Stumped? You are upholding racist ideas, structures, and policies. Again, use one word answer to question. How would this make you feel? No, I'm not. Oh, wait, that's an answer. That's not how I feel. Wait, I feel confused. What would would you want to say to someone who tells you this? No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I mean, but you can't say that or you don't just kick you out of the training or you, you know, you're fired, right? You're supposed to keep your jobs, right? So, I mean, that's the whole point of these white privilege training classes or sessions. So you come out of there realizing your white privilege and admitting,
Starting point is 00:21:48 to your white privilege so that you can continue to be employed. I understand it. I don't know that I could do it. I just don't think I could do it. All right, let's go to the break room. I need a drink of ice cold, refreshing. You know. Oh.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Well, it's that time of year again. and everyone is releasing, you know, the top of what happened this year. Google, Twitter, National Geographic, all that stuff.

Starting point is 00:26:51 top searches of the year. Under Law says Kobe Bryant, Chadwick Bosman is third, according to Google. Wow. I mean, Chadwick was, I think, when we get to the Twitter numbers, right?
Starting point is 00:27:02 Chadwick was number one. one. Yeah. He was number one. The last post from actor Chadwick Bosman's Twitter account made after his desk was the most liked and retweeted tweet of the year. Um, 7.6 million likes and 2.4 million people are tweeting about this. This was a screenshot from 9.11 p.m. on the announcement day. Uh, incredible. Incredible.

Starting point is 00:28:19 Recipe, sour dough bed, whipped coffee. Okay. Sports teams, the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat were the top two searches? No, no. Sorry. I don't buy it. Politicians Joe Biden, Kamala Harris. Maybe. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:28:40 And, of course, under virtual, virtual field trips and virtual museum tours, virtual Kentucky Derby, and virtual learning, and virtual NBA fans. That's all they're going to have left soon as just the virtual fans for the NBA. Under where is searches, where is my stimulus money? Where is Kansas City? I guess maybe that had to do with, uh, with Trump, right?
Starting point is 00:29:08 When he was talking about, uh, Missouri and Kansas, because there's actually, uh, Kansas City is in both states, my friends. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Uh, TV shows Tiger King, Cobra Kai, Ozark, Umbrella Academy, Queens Gambit, top five of the searches. Wow.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Best stocks to buy. Where to buy PS5? Okay, I mean, pretty basic stuff. Why were chainsaws invented? Why do you think? I mean, that should be the answer, really. Why were chainsaws invented? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Why do you think? Let's just stop it right now. Okay, stop it. So on Twitter, 2020's people of the year. Let's see what they have here. I wonder who it could be. Oh, let's see. two candidates took the top spots among the 10 most tweeted about people in 2020
Starting point is 00:30:12 Trump topped the charts followed by Biden. The number three spot was taken by George Floyd. And that's it. They just tell you about who George Floyd was because you can't just say George Floyd without saying he was a black man who died in an encounter with the police of Minnesota in May. Floyd's death caused widespread pro. across the U.S. over racial discrimination. Actually, it caused a widespread protest around the globe,
Starting point is 00:30:43 but hey, don't worry about it. Okay, okay. And then we know, we have the top emojis worldwide on Twitter and the top hashtags of 2020, according to them, was, uh, Black Lives Matter was number two. hashtag Black Lives Matter emerged as the second most trending hashtag. And coming in at number one, COVID-19. This top hashtag.
Starting point is 00:31:16 I mean, you had gas. All right. You know, if you say so, okay. I believe you, Twitter. Why would you lie? And of course, National Geographic has their end of the year issue. 2020, 71 photographs from an unforgettable year. And what makes the cover?
Starting point is 00:31:39 Richmond's graffitied Robert E. Lee monument makes the cover of National Geographic. So it's with the, you know, the face of George Floyd underneath Robert E. Lee. So you can imagine what the other 70 photographs are going to be throughout this powerful, powerful publication. Okay, you know, with those searches and the top tweets and the top hashtags and the top photographs, I mean, we know that we're coming to the end of 2020 and we know that things are continuing to change at a rapid pace, right? So we know that Pornhub is changing.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Yay! So I'm reading how much trouble they're in over an article from the New York Times. Now, they have 3.5 billion visitors each month. Wow. So apparently, Pornhub has announced several major changes to its website because of this New York Times report that said report article that said it was infested with child rape videos. Okay, so.
Starting point is 00:33:12 isn't infested with 3.5 billion billion visitors and how many other videos it has uploading and downloading every day? I don't know. But they're saying that effective immediately, only content partners and people within the model program will be able to upload content to Pornhub. In the new year, they're going to implement a verification process. And, you know, they give a whole list of banning downloads and expanding moderation, trusted flagger program, partnership with missing and exploited children, new transparency report, independent review. They're doing all the things that you would hope that they would do.
Starting point is 00:33:49 So now they're talking about, it goes on about how it's infested with all these terrible videos and young children's video. But one of the stories that, it talks about a girl who is 19, but the pictures that ended up, on Pornhub were when she was 14. And she said that people were texting her.
Starting point is 00:34:18 She didn't send them a video. They were going to send them to her mom. Her mom ended up persuading Pornhub to remove the videos, but they were later re-uploaded to Pornhub and other porn sites. And that made her transfer to a new school. The new school found out about the videos. Now because of that, she began cutting herself in a relationship with her mother deteriorated. Now she lives in her car in Fresno, California.
Starting point is 00:34:42 California with three dogs. Okay. So, as horrible as that is, that's not porn hub's fault. I'm sorry. No, it's not porn hub's fault. But, okay, whatever, you can be mad at them.
Starting point is 00:34:58 So now, you know, their MasterCard and Visa are reconsidering their business relationships with Pornhub, and it was, you know, it was already reported that Mastercard will no longer allow its card to be used on Pornhub after allegations of child abuse.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Okay. Okay. I mean, that's, I, Okay. Whatever you want to me. That's a private company. That's fine. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:35:35 That's fine. It's a private company. All right. Whatever you say. But, you know, then you have, we talked about MSNBC and how they're
Starting point is 00:35:46 a person talked about they want half female and half people of color. I mean, that looked for good changes there. Two large shareholders at Sports Illustrated the company that publishes Sports Illustrated Maven filed papers last week to fire five of the company's seven directors and they want to replace the board
Starting point is 00:36:08 with one that better reflects the new Maven because they had a Blue Lives Matter ad on their site. What? Yeah, well, remember they fired the CEO
Starting point is 00:36:23 earlier this year over staff cuts at Sports Illustrated and hosting a Blue Lives Matter website on its ad platform. And they did that after the death of George Floyd. How dare they? And now, Maven staffers were upset at the company's continued affiliation with this website known as Blue Lives Matter.
Starting point is 00:36:50 It's embarrassing, a disgrace, and a horrible. Okay. Because many comments were overtly racist. And people were saying stuff on there that were factually incorrect information and it was going unchecked. Well, I mean, I've had just about enough of all these people wanting to silence voices. I'm telling you, I can't take it. We have got to say enough with the silencing of voices. It is incredible to me that we have more and more people who believe that they are for free speech.
Starting point is 00:37:40 by silencing voices. That's not the way it works. And I'm going to stop myself now because I'm going to start saying things that I probably would have to delete. So we'll just stop. But this whole thought about silencing people's voices has got to stop.
Starting point is 00:38:04 And you can't quote me on that because it is... I just deleted some. bad words there. So we'll move on. Okay. Okay. Let's do that.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Hey, did you see where Newsmax scored some big ratings and beat out Fox News Channel for the very first time? I know. When fueled by conservative viewers who were disappointed by the election results happened Monday evening, 25 to 54, the 2554 demo. Newsmax outrated the story with Martha McCallum on Fox. So it just barely beat them out. But it did beat them out.
Starting point is 00:38:50 And it was a show. And, you know, they're starting to make their mark. Right. So congratulations. And I'm sure Fox is very unhappy about that. And the NFL is saying that they're struggling. Ratings are down. Sunday night football ratings are down.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Week 13 had a 30% drop. and a 27% drop, but the early game on Sunday came up. I mean, they still have viewers. People are still watching the NFL. And it really hasn't been that bad since the first week as far as, you know, Black Lives Matter stuff. It really hasn't been that bad. What's been bad are the games.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Some teams that are normally pretty good are not good. And games have been getting canceled and put off. and teams have been, you know, players have been off and coaches have been off. So it's been a really struggling year. But at the end of, it's been a, it hasn't been that bad as far as the Black Lives Matter stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:48 The ratings are down because the games aren't that good. Some of the teams that are usually pretty good, aren't that good. Just saying. And you know what else? They're only really down about 6% from the same point last season. Now, you know, it might be down overall. But another thing that really hurts, I got to tell you, I was thinking about this the other day watching, I don't forget which game I was watching, but it's really not fun.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Let me say, rephrase that. It's less fun watching these games without fans. I know it's still all about the game, but it's enjoyable when the fans are there. And these games, many of these games don't have any fans or very few fans. And that's just not as much fun. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts. So there's a story that says the doomsday plane, the command center airplane for the Russian high-ranking officials, including Vlad.
Starting point is 00:40:54 I'm sorry, Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia. According to the story, there was a break-in uncovered. during an aircraft inspection at this aviation scientific and technical complex, and they found that a cargo hatch appeared to have been opened and 39 pieces of radio equipment were found to be missing from the aircraft. And the press secretary, this Dimitri Peskov, said the incident was an emergency situation, yeah, for the person who allowed it to happen if it happened.
Starting point is 00:41:31 So apparently they say it occurred between, Putin putting a large number of funds into overhauling the Russian military during tensions with the West, which are at their highest since the end of the Cold War. What? What? I don't even think this story is real. I'm sorry, I don't. I don't even think it's real.
Starting point is 00:41:50 You know, of course, there's going to be an investigation and security's been increased. Okay, this is just a way for Vlad to beef up security and start bad-mouthing the way. West. I'm sorry. I don't believe this is true. I don't do it. I'm sorry. I don't believe it. We didn't get any into any COVID-19 stuff for coronavirus stuff today. Sure. Sure, the U.S. is over 16 million total cases. Sure, we've got over 300,000 deaths. And did Trump say anything about it at all? The horror. You know, just come on now. Come on now. We're doing everything we can. aren't we? And we're getting ready to have the vaccine and all is going to be right with the world. We even have smartphone technology now that they're using with CRISPR that they say we'll be able to let us know within, I think, 15 or 30 minutes.
Starting point is 00:42:53 So they're talking about using this enzyme to cleave viral RNA initiating a fluoride. instant signal that can be detected using the smartphone camera, which then provides a quantitative measurement of the level of viral particles in the sample. Now, how long did they say? I think it was, uh, we can find out in, yeah, 30 minutes. They're saying it's super exciting to have this quantitative aspect and, uh, the test takes just 30 minutes. And we don't need, uh, it's very quick.
Starting point is 00:43:33 It's making the measurement with mass-produced consumer electronics. We don't need fancy laboratory equipment. Okay. I mean, let's go. We talked yesterday. I think it was yesterday. They all run together. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:43:48 It's the end of the week and everything just runs together. When we talked about the cycle threshold value, where they're talking about the viral load. So we get the positive or negative, but we also find out, what the viral load is, and if your cycle threshold value is strong or high, then you should be quarantined and isolated. If it's low and goes through all the numbers,
Starting point is 00:44:19 then there's no point. You're not contagious. So, I mean, we are finding out more and more things that, you know, will hopefully get us past this as soon as possible. So these people like, oh, I don't know, the people in charge of California, the people in charge of New York, the people in charge of New Jersey, all these other states where they're just taking, they're blasting their power and all they want to do is shut things down. You know, I mean, de Blasio is already shutting down synagogues and he's already threatened to shut them down once and for all. You're kidding me. I mean, he's hated Jews forever.
Starting point is 00:45:00 How this guy is the mayor of New York? I don't know. I don't know how New York is actually surviving with the mayor of New York City and the governor of New York. It seems like those two people are not good people, just not good people. And how they got their jobs and continued to keep their jobs is an amazing feat. But good luck. God bless. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:45:35 Good luck. God bless. I mean, I want to talk about how, you know, a Chicago restaurant got, you know, got shut down again because city inspectors paid a visit to it. And it was sneaking people in. And they were eating indoors. Now, I want to be on the side of the restaurant,
Starting point is 00:45:56 except it's owned by a city alderman who is all for the lockdowns, except for his place. His place is different, I guess. He's different. Yeah, oh yes, absolutely. Absolutely, he's different. Toney's restaurant. Yeah, they were having the shutdown order.
Starting point is 00:46:14 They had tables and chairs, you know, set up in the front windows upside down like they weren't, like they were locked down. But if you came in to do the takeout, I understand that the regular diners, you can, you know, we can get in there, right? Yeah, yeah, just come on back. No problem.
Starting point is 00:46:33 And they've got back rooms opened up inside customers. Okay. And he tried to, then he tried to say we did it on a sporadic basis, but the employee said, nah, we've been doing it and having. Listen, we're sorry. It was an error in judgment. It won't happen again. Right. But I want to be on the side of the people who want to just eat at the restaurant, right? They just want to go out and eat at the restaurant. That's part of the deal when you go out is not being 85 feet away from people and being away.
Starting point is 00:47:09 And I know, I know, I know, I know. And people are sneaking around having parties now and they're getting busted. We've talked about the stories of they're getting busted in New York and New Jersey and now they're busting people in California. We've got cops arrest 158 people during Super Spreader House Party. Well, the people just want to get together. They've had enough. And hopefully it'll be, you know, we'll get back.
Starting point is 00:47:33 to normal sometime in the near future because I just got good news. I just got good news as I'm sitting here talking to you. I just got good news.
