Congratulations are in order. The U.S. Air Force has announced the new home for the U.S. Space Command headquarters. Now, many of you probably knew where it was going to be. I did not. So congratulations are in order. Say it with me to Huntsville, Alabama. I know. I know. Congratulations to Huntsville, Alabama, as the new home for the U.S. Space Command

headquarters. Now, apparently, Huntsville's nickname Rocket City is thanks to Werner von Braun and his team of fellow German-born rocketeers who settled there in the 50s, and it's been the home to the Army's Redstone Arsenal and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. So congratulations to Huntsville, Alabama as the new home. Now, people in Colorado that house the Space Command right now at Peterson Air Force Base are unhappy, to say the least. And they want it moved back once, you know, the new administration takes over.

So we'll see how long Huntsville can claim to be the home of the headquarters of U.S. Space Command. But until a new administration lets it go back to Colorado Springs, right now, it's Huntsville, Alabama. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Sad news from London. The Queen Raven, Merlina, is missing. I know. I know. I was devastated, too.

Now, Merlena joined the flock in 2007 and has not been seen for several weeks. Now, I don't know if Merlina has kicked the bucket or, you know, put claws to the sky. But they believe that she's dead. A spokesman for the Ravens said that she sadly probably passed away. She's obviously the undisputed ruler of the roost, queen of the tower Ravens. Now, I didn't realize that they, at the London, the Tower of London, they had. a raven master. But they do.

The raven master, Christopher Schafe, and he is, he's the man. And he said he's going to be taking some time to mourn. And who isn't? Let's, just a moment of silence for Merlina. Okay. And they have no immediate plans to replace Merlina. I mean, I guess would you go out and recruit female ravens?

Yes. That's exactly what you do. Now, Charles II is believed to have been the first monarch to officially decree that the birds must be kept at the tower at all times. And when the numbers fell to just one single raven guard, Winston Churchill ordered that the flock, known as an unkindness, was increased to at least six. Now, in 2018, the tower launched a raven breeding program after historic royal palaces warned it was becoming increasingly difficult to source the birds. I, you know, I didn't know, but they need unkindness at the Tower of London. I love that ravens, the flock of ravens, are unkindness. I mean, we all know, you know, the group of crows,

there's called a murder of crows, right? But I wasn't aware that ravens were called unkindness. And no one knows, you know, where it came from. It's probably, you know, some association with witches and death. I didn't even know where a murder for the crows. came from. It's just a, you know, it's just some name that it's been used for, you know, thousands of years and we still

stick with it. But just know that Merlina, if you happen to you know, if you happen to know about Merlinna, I hate to break it to you, she's probably dead. So, another moment of

silence for Melina. Okay, that's good. Before I get into Sephora and their fight, against racial bias. A couple of quick headlines to let you know what's going on around the world.

Remember that for the first time in history, a sitting U.S. president, Donald J. Trump, has been impeached twice. So we've got that going for us. And the Nancy Pelosi lectrin that was taken last week from Florida man has been returned.

So last night, I got the message on Twitter that his reign has come to an end. The power of the United States federal government has finally been wrestled out of the hands of Florida man, and it's making it an official

end to his brutal reign. And so they showed the lectern being pushed back into the Capitol. I don't understand the video at all. This one lady who I thought at first was AOC, but it obviously isn't.

was just pushing the lectern across the tile into wherever, whatever room it goes. There's all these people standing around taking pictures and other people. Nobody helps her. She's just scraping the tile, pushing this lectern across the floor. It's really bizarre. But it's been returned, and we're all better for it. So, Sephora, you know, the beauty products retailer, and, you know, who isn't a fan of Sephora, said Wednesday that it will bolster the number of black-owned brands, scale back on third-party security guards, and offer more inclusive marketing as part of a plan to combat racial bias at its stores.

Now, the company revealed that it did a study, took an in-depth look at racial bias in the retail shopping experience. The study is based on a combination of employee and shopper surveys and academic research. It began in the fall of 2019, ended late last year. It found that two in five U.S. retail shoppers have personally experienced unfair treatment on the basis of their race or skin tone. It also found that black shoppers are more likely. likely than white choppers to receive unfair treatment based on their skin color. I would like to see what is considered unfair treatment, but they don't say what has the unfair treatment.

But the issue of course racial bias has taken more importance for companies in the wake of the protest over police brutality last summer of George Floyd and many. So as part of the plan, Sephora plans to double the assortment of black-owned brands to 16 by the end of the year. I don't know how many brands they have in Sephora, but 16 really doesn't sound like that much. But good, you know, good for I don't care.

The more products, the better. It's also going to prominently feature and advertise black-owned brands through a dedicated tab on the Sephora website. Good, because you want to be able to distinguish between, the black brands and the white people brands or the people of color brands and the white people brands you want that distinguished no matter where you're at in fact what we need is a special place just for black people and just for white people to shop inside the stores right that's inclusion so we're almost there among other changes they're going to reduce the presence of third party

security officers at its 500 u.s stores and you think to yourself oh Okay, then how are they going to protect their products from being stolen? Well, they're going to use more in-house specialists as a way to minimize shopper's concerns about policing. So they're just going to have more undercover security people wander in the store. Is that going to stop them? So many municipalities don't do anything to anybody that steals anything under five or six or seven hundred bucks anyway. So if they come in and take what they want, what are you going to do?

You're going to stop them? I don't know. I don't think so. Now, the Sephora said that Jean-Andre Rouget, a president and CEO of Sapphora, Sefora Americas, he's the president of president-CEO-O-Americas. We know we're in a strong position to influence positive changes in the retail industry and society at large. and it's our responsibility to step up.

So there you have it, Sephora, making things better for everyone by adding to their assortment of products more black, I'm sorry, people of color, but black-owned brands to 16. By the end of this year, so they're not going to do it right now,

but they're going to get to it before the end of this year. And they're going to feature and advertise black-owned brands, brands through a dedicated tab on the website. And it doesn't say here that they're going to have a special separate place for people of color to shop in the store. But I bet you we're getting to that real soon.

Another day, another apology, wasted. We talked about Bruce Willis yesterday, leaving or getting kicked out of the right aid for not wearing a mask. He was asked to wear, put on a mask, and he just left. now there's different reports saying that he was asked to leave but the other report the first report was that they asked him to put a mask on somebody took a picture of him and he just walked out so and i'm all for that right so even he i know he's got his uh you know he has his bandana tied around his neck which he could have easily pulled up but he decided you know what i'm in the right aid i'm shopping

and I, you know, I just don't want to hear it. So he just left. That was the original story. Then it moved to he was asked to wear because he refused to wear a mask and so they kicked him out. So he issued an apology, which never works.

How many times do we see? It's an everyday thing. I'm going to make it, I think we're just going to make it a daily thing. Another apology wasted because, again, originally he didn't say anything. He just laughed, and because somebody took a picture, obviously they're going to make it into a big deal.

We talked a little bit about that yesterday. Well, he apologized, of course, because he couldn't just leave it alone. Why? Why couldn't he just leave it alone? But, of course, he did. But he didn't apologize and he didn't say, I just didn't feel like putting on the mask, and I just left. No.

He said it was an air. error in judgment. Be safe out there, everyone, and let's continue to mask up. Ick. Now, Bruce, again, it's not going to work, and it didn't. Because people didn't, don't believe it. They still hate you for not wearing a mask. He was just, I mean, they just made fun of them relentlessly.

I mean, because, of course, the, you know, the New York Post tweet was Bruce Willis asked to leave pharmacy for refusing to wear a mask. And, you know, Jake Tapper, and you thought Hudson Hawk was bad. And die hard with a ventilator. And surely the negative press can have been worth just pulling the bandana over his nose for a minute. Bruce Willis earlier that day, and they show a cover of a book from, it looks like SpongeBob, How to Become a Clown in less than 20 minutes. just, it never works.

Never. I don't understand. There's pictures of him with a mask on and with his family. He was just out. He should not have apologized. I'm sorry. He should have just gone with it.

And when asked about it, down the road for a while, he just could say, you know what? I just didn't feel like wearing a mask then. And they told me to put on the mask. And I decided, I didn't know. I'm not going to wear the mask. And I left. I didn't make a big deal about it. I just left. I decided to take my business elsewhere as I get to do in America, even though

it's California and I don't really get to do it. But to know, but no, even doctors, to all my health care providers in Los Angeles on the front lines of the pandemic, seeing countless patients die. If you see this diehard Republican Bruce Willis, just know he was kicked out of an L.A. Friday on Monday after he refused to wear a mask. No. A, we don't even know he's a Republican. I guess he was behind W at one point. I don't think he ever came out against or for Trump.

And because he was for George W. Bush, he's now, you know, a Republican. Okay. Okay. Whatever. But, of course, I mean, the narrative is completely changed. But my point is, never bend the knee to the rage mob. There was no point in him apologizing and saying an error in judgment. Be safe out there.

Let's continue to mask up. Why? Bruce, why? Why? I apologize. Just don't say anything. Say, I decided, you know, I just don't understand it. I just don't.

But proof that I. that apologies don't work because they, they, they, they, in quotation marks or parentheses, or whatever you want to put around, they, circled, highlighted, they don't care. Your apology means nothing and most of the time makes it worse. So the headline from the new daily poll with Scott Rasmusson, a quarter of Americans believe it's time for U.S. to split into separate red, blue countries. Okay, kind of. They, 25% of respondents back splitting the red states and blue states into separate countries.

Kind of. A very solid majority, 62% oppose such a measure. Well, 11% strongly favored it. 14% somewhat favored it. 10% somewhat opposed. 52% strongly opposed. And of course, you always have the 12% of, I don't know. So really, do you have even 25% that are ready to break the country into red and blue

states or red and blue countries break the United States of America into two separate countries? I don't know, man. I don't know. The survey of 1,200 registered voters using a mixed mode approach from January 7th to January 9th.

Respondents were contacted online or via text. 227 were contacted using automated phone polling techniques. Online respondents were selected from a list of registered voters and through a process of random digital engagement.

Okay. Certain quotas were applied and the sample was lightly weighted by geography, gender, age, race, education and political party to reasonably reflect the nation's population of registered voters. Other variables were reviewed to ensure that the final

sample is representative of that population. So if you take that into account, And then go back to 25% of respondents back splitting the red states and blue states into separate countries. Kind of no. Not really. Sure.

There's 11% that's strongly favorite. And there's 12% that I don't know. So are we there yet? Are you the kid in the backseat? Hollering, are we there yet? Are we in the blue countryside yet? Are we in the red country yet? I don't know.

I don't know. All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Seriously. Oh, man. Oh. So, so good.

As long as we're in the break room, remember you can always email Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. with any of your questions or comments or want to play along. And in fact, I've got an email from Allison today that, uh, tremendous. Tremendous. Tremendous. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. And I'm a little disappointed that I didn't receive, uh, the same thing that she did.

This man from Tokyo is a genius. And I think I'm going to start doing this. So this 37 year old Tokyo man now rents himself out to other people. people to do nothing. I know. I know. Genius. So he advertises himself as the person who can eat and drink and give simple feedback,

but, you know, do nothing. If you want, it's fine. I just want to, you know, I want to be, have people, you know, be happy. And I'm there for you. Now, he initially did this for free. and then he realized, well, that's dumb. That's really dumb. I can make some money.

So he charges, now he's in Tokyo, so he charges 10,000 yen, which is roughly about 96 bucks per request. I mean, might as well bump it. He's keeping it rounded. He doesn't want to get up to 100 bucks, which is probably, you know, 10,0.50 yen. I don't know what it is.

But anyway, no, 50s, 4.4. $4 would probably be, what, $500 yen? Anyway, well, that's easy enough to find out, but it's math and I don't care. Just know that it's roughly about $96 per request. Now, people are requesting him for gaming sessions to make up the numbers, turn up to send off people who are moving away. He accompanies people who are filing for divorce. He listened to health care workers who have become mentally honest. well due to the exhausting work, yeah.

And he just, you know, or do nothing. Just hang out and do nothing. It's important. It's the best thing to do is to help lower the bar for them by staying on their side. Just go for a walk. You know, just go for a walk. One person said, you know, I'd been slack about visiting the hospital, but I went because he came with me.

yeah and I just some people just want them to do nothing and go for a walk and you know of course socially distanced away but just be there with them as they walk genius genius I'm going to start doing this this is outstanding hundred bucks 100 bucks I'll show up and just hang out and we could do it we could just not talk I understand uh you know thinking that you know I'll do it for free but no no you want me to hang out. I'll stay socially distanced. I'll put on my mask. You know,

if you want me to. And I would just hang out and not talk. I am in love with that. That is genius. Good for, and his name is Shojai.

Amarabato. S-H-O-J-I, M-R-I-M-O-T-O. He's got, I don't know, 270,000 followers on Twitter. I'm sure he hasn't lost any followers on Twitter. And he's backed up. He's got about 3,000 requests.

His rent a person and do nothing. So genius. I'm going to start doing that right now. You too can have me chewing the fat, Jeff Fisher, hang out when you need somebody in your life to just be there and not talk. Just be there with you. I'm there for you. 100 bucks a pop.

Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. Okay, I'm deciding whether to give you sad news or talk about the deep rabbit hole. And it wasn't really a rabbit hole as more of a giraffe hole that I went down, that I learned something I didn't know. So which one, I mean, I guess, you know what?

We'll start with the sad news. It is chewing the fat. I'll give you sad news. I won't tell you the whole story. I'll just give you the headline out. It's sad news. So if you're, you know, doing something happy, just take a moment to know that this is going to be sad news. And I don't know how you're going to take it.

So you may want to be close to something where you could just sit down and, you know, take a breath. But Gwyneth Paltrow is not. comfortable with being a public person anymore, so she's going to not act. She's not been comfortable being a public person or being in front of the camera, even though she's done it for so long. So she's not going to act anymore. I know. I know.

I don't know what I'll do either. I can't wait to see what goodness comes from goop now. But I told you, dry your eyes. So I go down a rabbit hole, which is weird because it's about giraffes. So I'm not really sure if it's a giraffe hole or a rabbit hole. But I see a picture of a dwarf giraffe. Now, I guess once I saw it, I thought, yeah, well, I guess they exist. Sure, but I never knew it.

but they're talking about scientists surprising, surprised that they had to discover two dwarf giraffes in Uganda. And I see the picture of the dwarf giraffes, and I can't help but laugh. And I know it's not funny. It's never, it's not funny to be, you know, laughing at dwarfs. And I'm not laughing at dwarfs.

I'm laughing at the dwarf giraffes. So they're about half. the average giraffe height. They've got long necks but stumpy legs. And of course they're going to struggle to mate because nobody wants to mate. Nobody wants to do any giraffe bittness with the dwarf unless there's some kind of sick giraffe bar they go to.

So giraffe numbers apparently have tumbled by 40% of the past 30 years. Now I've seen a number of giraffes, not in the wild, but, you know, at zoos and parks and facilities that house them, I've never seen a dwarf giraffe. Now, I don't know if the places show up and if there's a dwarf in the herd, they hide them so they don't see them. But that got me thinking about other animals. Are there actually dwarfs?

And so when you start looking at, stories and pictures of dwarf is in the wild. It's not a pretty sight. That's not a pretty sight of dwarf animals in the wild. But it does make you realize that, oh, my gosh, it does happen. I don't know if you're a dwarf animal, do they just leave you? I mean, in the wild, they probably, you know, oh, no, you're not one of us.

take a hike unless you're like got a red nose right and then you're you're okay if you can help save the herd but other than that but i'll be there the damnedest there's some there's some strange looking animals out there and it just got me that whole story about the dwarf giraffes in nambia man just threw me for a loop because i never thought thought about animals for some reason being dwarfs. Just footage taken by the foundation showed the Uganda giraffe

standing on thick muscled legs in the dry national park while taller, well, a taller animal with the usual long stick like legs walked behind it. So they hadn't kicked him out yet. The other giraffes hadn't kicked him out yet. But, you know, maybe if we know they're there, we'll save them.

If the herd kicks them out and says, ooh, no, we can't do anything with you. Get out of here. Maybe the people at the park will save them. And then we can all go pay and see the dwarf giraffes. And boy, what fun that will be. Donald Trump did it again. And I didn't think they were going to let them get away with it one more time before the end of his term.

But they did. a convicted killer Lisa Montgomery died by lethal injection early on Wednesday morning she's the first woman executed by federal authorities since 1953 and this is how horrific the Trump administration has been

this is the 11th person subjected to capital punishment under the Trump administration I know I know horrible horrible I thank you that his finally going to be able to just get out of there and leave office. We're never going to leave him alone or anything, and we're still going to try to prosecute

him criminally, and we don't want him to ever show his face or be able to make another dime around the world, but we're happy that he's gone. She was sentenced to death for the December 2004 strangulation. Now, I didn't think they were going to do it. They really have been fighting this for quite some time, and they were saying that they weren't going to execute anyone because they believe that Biden is going to do it. going to stop the federal execution death penalty

he's going to overturn anything that Trump did Biden will you know Biden can do better and he'll just anything down if he could do better and he's just going to overturn it and it's not going to happen anymore but she was not a good person I mean I know that we don't you know the death penalty

is bad I get it not really And they gave her pen of barbitol, which I don't know where they got it from, but they did it at the prison in Terre Haute, Indiana, with the U.S. Justice Department's Execution Chamber. And down she went. Now, they've been fighting. They've been arguing back and forth. They weren't multiple courts delayed her execution.

They said, you know, way back in 2007, they did a, they found her guilty, and they rejected the defense claim that she was delusional. So they've been fighting back and forth that she's delusional, she's not bad. Okay, so federal judges in multiple courts have delayed the execution. And I believe we've talked about it before.

We certainly have talked about, you know, the other executions. But, because I'm, you know, a fan of the death penalty, and at least I'm a fan of talking about it. You know, I'd like to know what her last meal was, but they didn't report exactly. I'm going to have to look that up and see what her last meal was. But she was,

they finally The Supreme Court came through and said No that's fine, go ahead So, I mean they were ready Because like 90 minutes

After the Supreme Court said Yeah, no, we're done Go ahead They put her to death And some of the relatives Who attended Declined to speak with the media Good for them

When she was strapped down and any last words she said no I mean that was their last words do you have any last words no so she's done now

just a reminder when you start feeling bad about her being executed just a reminder all right of what she did she strangled

Bobby Joe Stennett, who was eight months pregnant at the time in Missouri, all right, cut Stennett's fetus from her womb and tried to pass the child off as her own before she was arrested. The infant safely recovered by authorities and returned to the father. Wow, that would be something to talk to her. Obviously, I don't know if they know who she is. is or not, but that would be something to talk to her. I'm guessing she doesn't

remember anything. That's not funny. That's not funny. So a couple of a quick coronavirus COVID-19 update. Moderna CEO, Stefan Bansel, said that he expects

the world will have to deal with coronavirus forever. Now, he said, SARS Cove 2 is not going away. This was him speaking on a panel at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. Boy, I bet you that was fun to be at. But, you know, don't forget, I mean, the great Anthony Fauci told us that I doubt we're going to eradicate this.

So it's going to be around forever. And, you know, there's new strains. In this story alone, it talks about, which I hadn't seen, that two new strains of the coronavirus showed up in Ohio. And of course it becomes concerning. Yeah. When they lead to significant increases in transmission or lethality. Yeah.

Typically, viruses mutate to become more contagious. They become less deadly, right? Which is kind of a good news. But one of the new strains in Ohio quickly became the dominant variant. in Columbus in just a three-week period. So that's good news. I mean, we've got that to look forward to. Right?

Right. A new guide to new COVID-19 testing rules for travel to the U.S. Require pre-flight testing. Yeah, you have tested positive? Yeah, you're not getting into the U.S. Have a nice day. All passengers flying into the United States international travel must test negative.

All right. You need to show negative tests, whether you're flying on a private or a charter flight. Now, there are exceptions, of course. Children under two, airline crews, federal law enforcement agents, and members of the military traveling for duty. Other than that, everyone else must show a negative test when traveling to the U.S. all right now airlines can seek temporary waivers for certain countries where testing supplies are inadequate but i would say if your testing supplies are inadequate then international travel should be postponed that would be just me though if we're going to test everybody except for you know two-year-olds

and airline crews and the airline crews i believe are getting tested regularly anyway or should be Federal law enforcement agents probably getting tested regularly. Military traveling for duty. I don't know if they're getting tested regularly, but do we trust? Do we trust it? I guess. Okay. But if you are in a country where supplies are inadequate,

guess what? You don't get to travel. We'll send you some more supplies, and then we can test everybody if you want to come into the U.S. But before then, no way. Okay, have a nice day. Now remember that we have universal testing requirement goes into effect at the end of this month. People arriving from the United Kingdom have already been subject to these testing requirements. So get over it.

I'm okay with this. I think I'm okay with this. If you're coming into this country, international travel, no matter who you are, if you've gone out of the country, you're coming back in, we got to have a negative test. Right? I think so. I think I'm all for that. And Switzerland.

You love them. You know them. You love them. Holding a referendum on whether to strip the government of its power to impose coronavirus lockdowns. Unfortunately, they're just talking about their own government and not other governments because they want to strip the government of its power to impose new lockdown measures. Good.

All right, a couple of emails that came into chewing the fat at the blaze.com. This one from Mike made me, well, it made me smile. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I l-ol, but I yelled. So, according to Mike, maybe we should start a rumor that Donald Trump will replace Alex Trebek, talking about who the guest hosts, that are going to be filling in on Jeopardy and eventually we'll get to an actual replacement. And watch the left meltdown, he says in his email. That's actually a great idea.

I wish we would have started that already. It's too late now because now we know it's a joke. It would have been fantastic to have Donald Trump. I love it. We need to make that happen. You know what? It's not too late. Donald Trump,

we need to start the real. is going to be make them deny that Donald Trump is not going to be a fill-in host on Jeopardy. That will be fantastic. And he also goes on to say that it's more than likely going to be someone like Stacey Abrams. That's probably true, too. Also, he goes on to talk about Mike Milbury of being let go of his horrific statement. And I'm not going to repeat it. You can go back and listen to the podcast.

I believe it was yesterday's podcast. which is the 13th of January was yesterday's because if you're listening live today to this podcast, it's the 14th of January 2021. Mike Milbury was let go for his horrific line that he said on television about women. But according to Mike, he should have said that he was sorry for what I said. I didn't realize that my statement would get so many panties in a bunch. I don't understand how women could have heard this as they would be in the kitchen cooking or cleaning as a good woman should be doing being this upset with what i said is retarded oh

and you need to get over this oh man oh man oh now that's referring to the to the nascar story which i wasn't going to repeat but i just did i said the r word and i was just i was reading i was quoting a quote from an email it wasn't me that said the r word but uh yes that would have been a great idea from Mike. And I got an email from Allison who sent a copy of a fax that she received to her email. In today's world, you know, your phone systems for business. And, you know, if you're not aware, faxes come in and then they get sent to your email and you get alerted.

Those fax came in for you. And you have to update your email to make sure that you can see the faxes that come in because so many things get faxed today. but this particular facts why maybe I should start I just want to be clear that when I get these emails about faxes coming in yeah I don't read them

I don't read them so I got maybe I did get this I'm bummed that I didn't and now I'm going to have to start looking at my faxes that come in because this came into Allison and it said I'm aware that this fax message has come to you as a surprise as we have not met before or had any business transaction in the past.

Nevertheless, I contacted you with genuine intentions that will be of great benefits to both of us. Okay. Now, this man gives his name Mr. Ernest Mogadon from South Africa. As an accountant, banker by profession, I work for one of the prime financial institutions here in South Africa. I'm contacting you to partner with me to secure the funds kept in. in the custody of our financial institution by a deceased client. I have gotten an email like this, similar to this. I'm pretty sure because they're concerned.

There's a lot of places around the world that are concerned about these great funds that are in accounts for deceased clients. And they want to get that money out of their bad. And according to this, they've made several inquiries to find any of his immediate relatives and of course no success. All of my efforts to find a member of his family approved all unsuccessful.

There's no risk attached, of course not, as I have worked out all the modalities to complete the process successfully and legally. I hope to finish the claim within a few banking days from the date of the receipt

of the following information. Your full name, address, phone, email address. This information would be used in writing letters. to claim respect all they need is all your information and then it'll be all good

don't worry about it I'm going to give you another email address not this one or not this fax address but another email address which you can contact me with more details on the procedures of this claim he gives a telephone number man I almost want to call that telephone number man I almost want to I may do that

I'm going to use somebody else's phone though I will send you all relating documents upon receipt of your response. Now, it does it, let me see, it doesn't give the amount? The place is an amount of transaction. They're going to give you 30%, and 70% is going to be for our man from South Africa. But it doesn't give the amount. It just gives, well, that kind of stinks.

How are you going to get in the deal? It wants to, you don't have to worry about it. anything according to earnest because this transaction will be processed legally and protect you from any infraction of the law it says so right there so you're in it why doesn't i'm really bummed now it doesn't say the amount you're going to get 30% of the amount we're calling this number i'm going to use somebody else's phone but i'm going to call this number in this fact and we're going to find out what happens on the other end of this fact but if you're not you're going to find out but if you you're just one of those people that think, well, you're not going to get lucky enough to receive

a fax like this. You know, if you're lucky enough to still be working or still looking for a job, they've, Market Watch has now listed the 10 best places to work in 2021, according to employees.

A medical and health services manager gets $100,980 a year. And a physician is making $206,500 a year. So the doc is getting $206,500 a year. But the nurse practitioner is getting $110. And the physician assistant is getting $112. No, no, no, no. We need to take a look at these salaries and have them renegotiated. That needs to happen today.
