Oh no, I hate to start off with sad news, but Evanza pasta is recalling 2,237 pounds of meat and poultry pasta because they were produced without any inspection from the U.S. Department of Agricultural Food Safety and Inspection Service, FIS, FIS. And the recall includes a long list of meat and poultry, ravioli, and tortellini made from, is it Torlini? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Made from October 5th, 2019 to March 12, 2021. FIS has created a page with a complete list of the products. You can, you know, see the products on the FIS web page on the Food and Safety Inspection Service web page and probably the recall page. The list of probably, oh, there's a link for the list of complete products here on the story. Maybe we'll go there, but it's a bunch of them. Okay. So, I mean, it's talking about Avonsa Pasta, Ambrosino's Conta de Savoy, Frankie's Deli,
Starting point is 00:01:22 Nature's Best, Prisco's Family Market, and my favorite, and more. So the USDA website says that all of the products will not bear any establishment number or a USDA mark of inspection, and the expiration dates on some of them extend into 2022. They've been distributed to restaurants, distributors, and retail locations in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Now, there hasn't been any reports of illnesses linked to the food, and this urges people to return the items for a refund since many people may be. have these pasta dishes in their freezer. So be careful out there if you have
Starting point is 00:02:01 purchased any of the pasta products. Wow! And I'm looking out there's two pages of products. Wow. Meat, tourlini meat ravioli, sausage ravioli medium, chicken medium,
Starting point is 00:02:21 Tuscan chicken media, sausage roll medium. Wow. So just go to the website and if you have these products, take them back or if you want to just say hey this we'll take our chances because the company probably doesn't want to make people sick with their products you know you can go ahead and take your chances but I don't recommend that because
Starting point is 00:02:43 well you don't want to be sick right right welcome 2,237 pounds of meat and poultry pasta products. Wow, that is not good for Avonza pasta. Welcome to chewing the fat. For those of you, like me, who were ready to throw their phone through the window of your home last night because all the apps that you used kept crashing and you thought, oh, no, now I've got an issue with my phone and you deleted some apps and you went into emails and
Starting point is 00:03:28 you deleted sent files and extra emails that you've been saving and you thought it's got to be my phone you looked at all the downloads you looked at everything and then you realize oh you mean there was an issue with the chrome and web view from the android apps crash oh so google has fixed it that's nice of them uh so apparently apps were crashing uh all over the world for android users and a google has fix the issue now I put the story up on my Facebook page both Jeff Fisher Radio and the regular Facebook page and they put a link in this story from the verge that gets you to the Android system web view update and the new go Google Chrome update and so you can link to that and then do that on your phone
Starting point is 00:04:20 and everything is fine it's working wow I shouldn't have thrown my phone through the window that's all Oh, probably shouldn't have done that. But, you know, if you were one of the people that did that, you can go retrieve your phone from the backyard and just, you know, do the update and it'll be working fine. Which means that you've got a few days left to enter the 24-hour digital detox. Some of you may have already, you know, started that last night if the apps were all dropping like flies, which they were, just kept crashing and wouldn't open at all. But don't forget, March 29th, end of this month, 2021. We've got, for those of you listening live, it's the 23rd of March today, 2021.
Starting point is 00:05:09 You've got until the 29th to enter into the 24-hour digital detox. And you could earn $2,400. Remember, we talked about this when this first launched, and we're coming down to the wire now for you to, you know, apply for the job. They're going to pay one person, $2,400 to do a 24-hour digital. Digital detox. I mean, I do it. I mean, I do.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I believe I could do it for 24 hours. Now, that means everything, right? You know, I know you're interacting with screens and Zoom meetings and virtual visits and TV. And, you know, you've got a lot of stuff using the digital world now that you use every day. That, you know, no cell phone, no television, no gaming console. handheld gaming devices, no computers or laptops, no smart watches or wearable tech, no smart home devices, smart speakers, smart vacuums. Now they say the exception is they'll let you use a microwave. Oh, well, that's nice of them. So the Digital Detox Challenge, you're going to have
Starting point is 00:06:18 14 days to pick a day that works for your schedule, and then you'll be required to submit screen time reports to prove that you truly went a full 24 hours, without your tech. So you get the 2021 digital detox challenger, $2,400 if you complete the challenge. And you get a $200
Starting point is 00:06:41 Amazon gift card. Okay. I mean, I think I could do it. I think I could do it. I don't know what you, you know, for 24 hours, come on. I mean, you're going to sleep for, you know, three or four of those hours.
Starting point is 00:06:55 You might actually get some more sleep then you usually get because you won't have to worry about having your digital world surrounding you, right? So you just crawl under the covers for the day. But, I mean, good luck. You know, you have to use a typewriter. I've got a couple of those in the garage somewhere. I don't even know if they haven't pulled them out there, you know, collector's editions now. But, you know, I guess you use them.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Board games, writing on, you know, a pencil and a paper. Wow. uh we'd read some books you get to paint maybe so if you're 18 years of age eligible to work in the u.s you can apply and they're going to announce the names of those selected to be the detox challengers on march 29th on their on the youtube channel so it's more than one they're picking more than one is not just one so it'll be interesting to see the differences in the people that they pick to do the 24-hour digital detox. I wonder if any of them will
Starting point is 00:08:02 start getting the shakes, start freaking out a little bit. It'll be a really interesting challenge to see. I went to the digital detox challenge page from reviews.org slash internet dash service slash digital dash detox dash challenge. And instead,
Starting point is 00:08:27 here on their homepage three out of four Americans consider themselves addicted to their phones. The majority of us check our phones once every nine minutes. That's 160 times a day. Oh man, every nine minutes? Okay. We spend an average of 56 hours and 42 minutes per week watching TV. That's nearly 17 hours. Wow, that's more than 70. That's more than 17 hours. more than a full-time job. Okay. Good luck. I mean, I go ahead and apply and do it.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Everyone I'm sure, not everyone, but most people think, oh, I can do that. I can do that for 24 hours. All right. Good luck. Good luck. Kind of like fasting. Or you see the ads where,
Starting point is 00:09:24 could you live in this cabin for a week without any, internet service, you know, you can, and I mentioned fasting because, you know, the detox from the, you know, the phone, the digital detox from, you know, being plugged into everything, is, is a big deal. I know, and it sounds, look, I joke around and say, I could do that for 24 hours, but, you know, the, the relaxing games that we have on our phones that we think is our downtime, you're still plugged in, right? That's your alarm clock. in the morning for your phones. So, I mean, it's going to be, it's not going to be as easy as you think it's going to be.
Starting point is 00:10:08 And that's why, you know, reviews.org is doing their 24-hour digital detox. No question. Look, unplugging yourself is, you know, a lot easier said than done. And one of my favorite ways to rest my eyes and still get the content that, I'm itching for because I mean, we're, I'm always looking at a screen. But now I'm always looking at a phone screen, a laptop, a television, a desktop, always looking at a screen. Always looking at a screen. But one of the things that I like to do is I put in my Raycon wireless earbuds and I'm listening to good stuff with my Raycon's.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I am in love with my Raycon. I'm not kidding. I love the way they fit. they're comfortable. I was walking around the other day. I didn't even, well, when I was asked what I was listening to, I said chewing the fat. Like, I mean, that's rules of the podcast. But I really wasn't listening to anything.
Starting point is 00:11:07 My kids are like, why do you, what are you listening to? I'm like, nothing. Why? You still have your Raycons in. Oh, I just left them in because they just, I forget they're there. They're so comfortable.

The 28-year-old pop star is out promoting her documentary that releases on YouTube April 2nd. It is titled Dancing with the Devil.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Oh, okay. And it's Dancing with the Devil, the Art of Starting Over. It's a YouTube documentary. And so she's out promoting that and she's doing some interviews. And she claims that she's in recovery now. Look, she almost died of a heroin and fentanyl overdose a couple years ago. And she is, you know, was drinking, talked about her alcoholism and her other addictions. And her struggle with all.
Starting point is 00:13:55 kinds of addictions that she's talked about she in fact suffered three strokes and a heart attack during some relapses wow i mean that's and that's going to be talked about in her youtube documentary dancing with the devil now she claims that she is now a moderate drinker and a moderate cannabis user because her addiction recovery is what she claims is California sober. I don't think that's sober. I don't think even if, you know, if you're, if you've given up, you know, that whole addiction thing. And it's still, now you're just moderately drinking and moderately doing, smoking a little can
Starting point is 00:14:55 or taking a bunch of cannabis. That's not sober. But it is, according to Ms. Levato, 28-year-old Ms. Levato, it is California sober. That is incredible. I love it. Now, listen, she does say
Starting point is 00:15:20 that I really don't feel comfortable explaining the parameters of my recovery to people. Why is that, Demi? Well, I don't want anyone to look at my parameters of safety and think that, hey, that works for them because it might not. You think that your California sober might not work the same for somebody else? Look, the complete abstinent method isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for everybody. I think there's an argument that it is a one-size solution where you would stop doing it.
Starting point is 00:16:04 It's just a thought on my part, though. So, look, the journey of moderation is a one-size-fits-all solution for everybody. Wait, it is or it isn't? I don't think that the journey of moderation... Oh, yeah, it's not a one-size. Yeah, okay, because I read that wrong. I was thinking, wait a minute here. You're double speaking there, Demi.
Starting point is 00:16:26 You must be, you must be high. But that's not, no, she's California sober. So she won't say, so she doesn't say what the specifics are of her California sober. But she had a stroke, brain damage, blindness, hearing loss. And you're still doing, you know, everything in modern. Adoration. Wow. That is a good thing and not really, but it is. So it's a, you know, it's a nice phrase. I like it. According to the Urban Dictionary, Cali sober is you abstain from everything except marijuana and alcohol. So you get to smoke some dope and you get to drink.
Starting point is 00:17:24 and you get to drink. But everything else, you know, heroin, fentanyl, oxy, you can't do that. You can't do that. You just, I mean, it's tough. It's tough. I will say, and I laugh at this, but I kind of understand the process, right? I mean, those things are so bad. You watch so many, I've listened and watched a lot of the heroin recovery shows.
Starting point is 00:17:54 because it's really just a terrible drug, just terrible. And I watched the people who have kicked it and tried to kick it. Same with meth. They all smoke cigarettes. It's amazing. And I understand that addiction. So that's kind of like, you know, it's kind of like you're California sober, right? If you've been doing a lot of different hardcore drugs,
Starting point is 00:18:24 A little bit of alcohol and a little bit of pot to take the edge off is probably not a bad thing. So I can understand California is sober. I mean, maybe you just, maybe you're doing a little bit of the lesser of the evils, right? So you, you know, I don't do heroin anymore. It was ruining my life, but I'm going to smoke, you know, two packs of cigarettes a day. so maybe if you're not doing heroin and fentanyl and oxy you smoke a little pot
Starting point is 00:18:59 drink a little booze just to get through the day we'll find out if she goes into more on her dancing with the devil the art of starting over which is her new
Starting point is 00:19:15 documentary on YouTube dropping April 2nd and that's also a new song, incredible, that she has a new album coming out that she's promoting, and that's why we're doing the YouTube documentary. It's funny how that works out, isn't it? And the new song is called California Sober.
Starting point is 00:19:35 So congratulations to Demi for being sober, getting your act together. I hope that's true. All right, let's go to the break room. They need something cold to drink because, you know, I'm Texas sober. Actually, sadly I am. Is it sadly? Yes, it's sadly. I am Texas sober, so I'll just have my soda and water.
Starting point is 00:20:01 I don't even smoke anymore. Oh my gosh. That is so good. All right, so we're in the break room. Can you imagine buying a house paying cash for it? This story is an incredible story because this couple scraped together $560,000
Starting point is 00:20:29 in cash. I mean, who among us? Who among us can't just scrape together $560,000 in cash? I would just go on record as saying, I can't, okay? It's not even in the realm of a conversation. But so this couple
Starting point is 00:20:50 scraped together, $560,000 in cash and gave, title to this home in greater Los Angeles, Riverside. I love how they try to make them off as a young couple. Yeah, they just scrape together $560,000 as a young couple. It's a perfect home, four-bedroom home that they could buy quickly for cash. And it's a nice looking home.
Starting point is 00:21:13 It's fine. And I'm not, you know, good for them that they can do that. So they buy the house. And the guy who owns it doesn't leave. he's now a squatter there. He's not living. And they can't get rid of them. And there's no lease, no landlord-tenant relationship.
Starting point is 00:21:32 He owes no rent. And they can't get rid of them because of the pandemic. Their attorney, which is, and a realtor is, I mean, he's like, it's genuinely unfathomable to me that we live in a state where something like this is even possible. Well, duh. They closed in January of 2020. They contacted authorities and tried to get the seller evicted, but because of the pandemic, as I said, no, they can't.
Starting point is 00:22:04 They have this case under a COVID tenant situation, and there are no evictions under the COVID tenant situation. Well, this is not really anything to do with the COVID tenant situation, right? He isn't a renter. He's not getting thrown. out. He got all his money for selling the house and now he won't leave. I mean, this guy is a smart guy, man. And we've talked about other neighbors. I feel like we have. Maybe we've talked about it off the air, but I know there's several places, several neighborhoods here even in Texas that new homes
Starting point is 00:22:41 get built. And then people just move in. And they just say, you know what? I'm going to live there now. I'm going to be, I'm going to squat there. And it takes a long. time to get people out a long time I told you a story once where the guy one house that I was renting in Florida the owner talked about the people who lived there before us he couldn't get rid of them and they didn't pay their they hadn't paid their rent in months and he finally after all the paperwork was submitted and everything was done they had up to a certain date or the sheriff's department was going to come in and literally throw them out. And so the night before that day, they were still in the house.
Starting point is 00:23:33 So he had, you know, he was planning on showing up and did show up with the sheriff's department and he rented a moving truck and he was going to load up their stuff and take it wherever, you know, he decided to take it. And they showed up the next morning. Everything was gone. the house was empty. So these people just milked it until the very, very end. I don't know if it's the way to live, but I can certainly understand it, but I don't know that I want to live that way. It's just, it's not nice, okay?
Starting point is 00:24:11 It's just not nice. And speaking of not being nice, the Jerusalem Zoo, I mean, no show in America, I love zoos more than this show. I mean, I would venture to say no show in the world loves zoos and talks about zoos more than this program chewing the fat. So the Jerusalem Zoo has now attempting to do damage control. And I don't understand, I mean, why don't they just use it as an educational point?
Starting point is 00:24:45 So the zoo is open and they have their, you know, animals there, and they've got kids there. And so there's, and they call it graphic video in the story. It's not graphic video at all. But it shows a lion eating an animal for food. And it's a little rabbit. So, I mean, and the kids apparently were astonished to see the lion devour rabbits in the middle of the day. Parents were shocked, were they?
Starting point is 00:25:17 so usually they you know they obviously feed the lions in the back or you know wherever they call the the back of the zoo and the lion decided you know what it's a nice day out i'm going to bring my food out here and have a little little food in the sun you know like i normally would and uh so people are all want to so they show the the asian lions in the zoo which by the way is in danger of extinction and it's part of the worldwide lion conservation program. Well, they're fed prey that is no longer alive, which the zoo receives from an animal food provider. Good gig right there.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Due to sensitivity, the lions received their food behind the scenes. In this case, the lion dragged its prey into the exhibition area. You bastard lion. You bastard lion. So, I guess there's a story. In Israel, that's a classic Hebrew children's book called The Lion who loved strawberries, which is about a lion who thinks he likes strawberries, but has never actually tasted them because he eats meat and, in fact, finds them disgusting once he does.
Starting point is 00:26:37 So I get, you know, obviously social media and Twitter was all about the, you know, the lion who loves strawberries. But why is the zoo? I mean, the zoo should use this as an educational platform for the children that are there. Guess what? That's what happens in real life. Okay? They eat meat.
Starting point is 00:27:00 They're lions. We show them in their little habitat area so that humans know what lions do. And we're humans, so we keep them in the zoo. Don't start with me, PETA. Don't do it. I don't want to hear it. And they are, even in the story they talk about that they're on the edge of extinction. So we as humans are keeping this particular breed alive.
Starting point is 00:27:27 You're welcome, lion. So just what's the big deal? The kids freak out. Oh, no, little Buffy, the rabbit is getting eaten. No, that wasn't Little Buffy. Although it could have been if the lion was free. And it might even have been you if the lion was free. But that's just a silly little rabbit that we breed to feed them.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Okay? All right. The parents were shocked. Stop it. That's what's wrong with America. Oh, wait, this was in Israel. Never mind. Hey, a reminder, if you're listening to this broadcast right now, this show, this podcast

Starting point is 00:29:38 chewing the fat fat. Yeah, that's what it is. Loosin your belt. a little and let us all in or out as the case may be so i see that people are taking up my idea now of space trash so they've got a big testing mission that went up that there's going to be uh you know testing how to get rid of space junk and it launched we're supposed to have launched anyway this past weekend from uh the huge
Starting point is 00:30:16 huge, huge space launching pad in Kazakhstan. Who doesn't lift off from the back of the Mar Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan? Okay, so the technology carried out by two spacecrafts launched together. It's a nearly 400-pound service satellite and a 40-pound client satellite, and they're being used to simulate a piece of orbital debris. they're up practicing trying to get rid of this stuff in space. Now, they've, according to this person, John Auburn, Astroscales Managing Director in the United Kingdom,
Starting point is 00:31:03 we've been working on for eight years to turn this difficult problem into a business. Have you? Have you? Because this is something I've been talking about for at least that long and probably more. and now they're, you know, more concerned than ever on the overcrowding in orbit. Yeah, no kidding. There's a huge amount of internet satellites flying around the globe. That's why we've talked about it. Now, John kind of, you know, kind of ticks me off because he says, this is an issue like plastics in the ocean.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Oh, okay. Yeah, I know. Well, why don't you fix the giant plastic island then before you go up into space? because there isn't one. Oh, okay. But we do know that it's an issue with satellites. Now, they're looking at different ways to, you know, kind of grab onto them and then bring them down to low orbit
Starting point is 00:31:57 so they go into our orbit and burn up. They believe that most of it will be burned up into space. And they also are looking, you know, so they get rid of it, and then they, you know, let it go. So it starts tumbling away into our atmosphere and gets burned up. Now, they're also, it said they're looking into like a giant magnet that they would come up on the, whatever the piece of trash is. And they would, you know, latch onto it, boom.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And then they would, you know, bring it down and I guess, you know, shut off the magnet and let it drop into the atmosphere. So it burns up. Wow. Okay. All right. So I don't know. We have, they talk about the orbital crash that occurred in 2009. when the Russian satellite, Cosmos 2251,
Starting point is 00:32:50 smashed into the U.S.-based Aradium 33 communication satellite, and that collision created a cloud of more than 2,000 pieces of space junk, measuring at least four inches wide. And I think, you know, we saw what could happen when something like that happens in the documentary, Gravity, that was the title of the documentary, way back in 2013 with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, Ed Harris was in it.
Starting point is 00:33:17 A lot of those guys. You saw what could happen when space debris starts flying around like that and ruins the space station and it was ugly. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't pretty at all.
Starting point is 00:33:30 So we need to stop that and that's why we need space trash pickup. And so I hope this team works it out. But they're working on it that long and they're not even this close to it. They're just testing up there now. They aren't sending space garbage trucks up there yet let's go call me call me and uh we'll figure it out and i will help you okay over there at
Starting point is 00:33:54 the astroscales um trash company for space there john auburn will we'll get past your whole issue with plastics in the ocean and we'll continue to worry about space junk okay and speaking of space junk i guess congratulations are in order uh former senator bill nelson from florida has been tapped to be the head of NASA now? Wow. Look, I have talked to former Senator Bill Nelson before. He represented Florida for a long time. And he was an astronaut, worked for NASA.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Spent six days in orbit in the space shuttle way back in 86. he conducted medical experiments and stress test in space and researched and he was you know that's what kept him in office he was a democrat and he wasn't it was you know it's kind of agonide i will say the picture they showed of him uh this year or late last year in washington yeah it looks like bills had a little work done i was got a little tightening of some work done around his face i mean I thought he retired and just wanted to, you know, hunt on his land in Florida, which is surprising since he was such a big gun control guy. But he's going to be in charge of NASA now, the head of NASA.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Congratulations. Look, he's the same age as Joe Biden. So he's 78. So he's got plenty, plenty of good years left. Plenty. I haven't seen Bill in a while. And so I'm sorry, former Senator Nelson. And I haven't seen him in a while.
Starting point is 00:35:37 So I don't know what his, you know, how he's moving around, how things are looking. But the picture of him at the end of 2021, just, you know, four or five months ago, he doesn't look bad. It looks like he's had a little tightening up around the eyes. The face is still looking a little tight. He's got a little Florida sun face, which, you know, of course he's from Florida. And so that means he's been out into the, you know, out of Florida sun. You don't live in Florida without getting a little, little bit of Florida tan. So congratulations.
Starting point is 00:36:05 congratulations because I'm sure he'll be great for NASA. So I see where Microsoft is going to start bringing workers into its Seattle area headquarters at the end of this month, the end of March. I know that certainly feels like a good thing, and I don't know. I mean, companies are realizing now they're torn, right? They felt like, well, we don't need people to have all this office space, but people do need to have work with fellow employees and see them face to face. But, and we, you know, so they're bringing back to work.
Starting point is 00:36:43 We'll see how that works out because I see where a new stat that 49% of American adults feel uneasy about resuming in-person interactions after the pandemic winds down. Well, it is winding down. This is a new survey from the American Psychic. psychological association. And we have plenty of companies that are offering, you know, free stuff to be vaccinated, right? I mean, other than, I mean, companies are saying, hey, we'll give you time off. And you can, you can do all this, you know, you will give you a couple of days off. We'll give you eight hours.
Starting point is 00:37:19 You can do this to go get vaccinated. No problem. I mean, yesterday we had Krispy Cream tell us, hey, if you get vaccinated, we give you a free donut every day to the end of the year. Okay. No problem. I mean, we just saw a weight gain study. I'm sure has nothing to do with crispy creams. Like we've been eating enough crispy creams as it is.
Starting point is 00:37:44 But according to this new study, stress in America pandemic survey, they pulled 3,013 adults in the U.S. and found that the majority, 61%, have experienced undesired weight changes. so you're guessing, well, everybody must have lost weight, right? Ha! Right.
Starting point is 00:38:06 42% of U.S. adults said they gained more weight than they had intended. And of those, they reported gaining an average 29 pounds. Wow. 10% said they gained more than 50 pounds. Wow. Of course, weight gain leads to obesity. You could put people at higher risk of serious illness from coronavirus. Really? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:38:29 More women. 45% reported weight gain than men, 39%, but men reported a higher average gain at 37 pounds compared to the women's average of 22 pounds. Wow. So, I mean, people are eating. So that was nice of, you know, Krispy Cream. I said yesterday that they should, you know, one donut a day for the vaccination. I mean, how about a six-pack? Maybe this is Krispy Cream's way of cutting people back.
Starting point is 00:39:01 We'll give you a donut a day. That's your limit. You get one a day. But we have breweries offering 10 cent beers. The one in Cleveland offering 10 cent beers to the first 2,021 people. See what they did there that show proof of the vaccination through its beer and the shod promo? It's actually kind of cute. Uber and Lyft have been providing free and discounting.
Starting point is 00:39:31 rides to and from vaccine sites. And a luxury hotel in Dubai is offering 25% discounts to fully vaccinated UAE residents. I mean, and look, there's been, you've got, you've got to be fully vaccinated on a cruise. You've got to be able to show that you've been vaccinated and or are negative to fly on some airlines. So, you know, good luck. However, I will say that it's probably a good idea to invest in the mass. companies, the companies that make masks.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Because if you think that those are going away, you are sadly mistaken, man. And when they said, you know, even if you're vaccinated, you have to wear a mask? Yeah. I mean, I just saw a headline moments ago that said three fully vaccinated Hawaiian residents had tested positive for COVID-19. Okay. So if they're already vaccinated and, Now they're positive for COVID-19 and didn't say what strain.
Starting point is 00:40:36 It was just a headline. They will tell you that everyone needs to be social distance and wear a mask from here to eternity. So invest in the mask. A horrible shooting in Colorado. They 10 people lost their lives. One was a police officer. and they have charged a man now with 10 counts of first-degree murder.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Ahmad Al-Alawi Alisa, 21-year-old, with a history of violence whose brother said he was deeply disturbed. And the story goes on to talk about how he was saying people were following him and running him around. And, of course, it's horrible. The whole thing is just horrible. But, of course, the usual suspects, show up after a mass shooting, and that is gun control and no gun control.
Starting point is 00:41:48 Now, here in America, it is we believe in no gun control. Really? We do? Because I don't see it. I see a lot of gun control. And I see a lot of people trying to take over gun control. And man, they do it fast. They do it fast.
Starting point is 00:42:04 I know that we went after the one congresswoman who said no gun control. But we have other Congresspeople who are saying, oh, gun control. And it's obviously okay for people to come out and say, we still need common sense gun control. So it's more important than ever to know what you believe. More important than ever to know what you believe and be ready to act on it. I saw a news report yesterday, a news report yesterday, where the supermarket shooting interview, the news was there.
Starting point is 00:42:35 They were there interviewing a man. And they interviewed a man who said his daughter. and grandchildren were in the store and were texting him when the shooter was making his rounds through the store and claimed that they shot a woman in front of them and they hid in a coat closet. I mean, that's just horrific and he's, you know, he's really happy about his family being alive and yet you've got to, you are sad because of the other loss of life. And he said, in the interview, a half a dozen stormtroopers, cops came through the roof and got them. And this, and then he said in the interview, this puts a big pitch for gun control.
Starting point is 00:43:21 It does put a big pitch for gun control, but it doesn't necessarily have it happen. It does the exact opposite for me. It makes a big pitch for no, because, no, we don't need the gun control. It's not gun control that caused this. You read the story about this guy. he was whacked out of his mind and the family knew he was whacked out of his mind now do they you know obviously no one thinks that brother abed al al-a-a-li-lissa was going to uh you know go out and shoot a bunch of people but maybe you try to get them a little bit of help and maybe they did and
Starting point is 00:44:02 it's very possible that they did and you know it didn't work and so you know you've just got the crazy brother that you are trying to corral and try to take care of and you don't foresee this horrific act of violence but it doesn't have anything to do with gun control if this crazy person wants to hurt people he's going to find a way guns or no guns anyway you know things are not looking good. Things are not just a get away from the shooting because it was just horrific, but the things are not looking good for Deshawn Watson,
Starting point is 00:44:48 the Houston Texans quarterback. He may, A, he may not be the Houston's quarterback much longer. And he is allegedly a serial harasser whose behavior escalated to forced oral sex. Tony Busby, his of the attorney for at least 12 women filing civil assault lawsuits against Deshaun Watson.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Wow. He said that he has seven suits and five more coming, and those may have already been filed by now. And he said the case isn't about money. We've pleaded the jurisdictional minimum of $500. It's certainly not about seeking publicity or fame. I don't need it. These women don't want it.
Starting point is 00:45:37 This case is about female empowerment and taking the power back. Okay. Good luck. Good luck. I mean, he said, though, the attorney said he's got death threats coming in, whose children and colleagues from social media commentators. I mean, he is, you know, he's got the, got the accusers. Now, Watson has hired his own attorney.
Starting point is 00:46:06 The guy who got Roger Clemens, he quitted in two. 2012, the member of Clemens was accused of lying to Congress. And Attorney Rusty Hardin got him off and he is Deshaun's attorney. And he said, I'm extremely proud to represent Deshaun Watson and Holy Stand Behind him against what we believe are meritless allegations. All right. I mean, some of them say that he, you know, they're massage therapists and they all, you know, were massaging him.
Starting point is 00:46:35 and he would end up with a body part getting harder than normal, or maybe that was normal, and he would want a massage, and maybe not just with your hands. And I read one report that talks, she felt scared and confused and powerless and confused, and feared what Watson would do to her career. The suit says she suffers from panic attacks, depression, and anxiety, seeking counseling, and has trouble sleeping.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Okay. A separate suit claims that Watson forced this massage therapist to perform oral sex. After contacting her on Instagram, he allegedly made it clear that he could help her hurt her career. Yeah, he could help it because he's, you know, he would get to. you more jobs with other NFL players that have a lot of money. But could he hurt it? I don't know. It felt scared and confused.
Starting point is 00:47:47 This is back to Harvey Weinstein days. Okay. I mean, guess what? You have the power to say no. I know. Okay. It's a dirt bag. I got it.
Starting point is 00:47:59 But you have the power to say no. I mean, that's the Tiger Wood stuff. I mean, all these women now, they're talking about the tell-all books that are coming out. These two of the, two of the, two of the big affairs women are saying that they're going to be writing a tell-all-books, both Jamie Junkers and Rachel, you can tell. And they say it couldn't be good, whatever.
