Prosecutors have confirmed that the woman, the spectator who held up the cardboard sign at the Tour de France and allegedly caused the crash has been arrested. They've got her in custody. The prosecutors have confirmed that the woman who fled the scene of the crash, which happened when she was standing along the roadside with her back to the Peloton. That's the sponsorship of the race. has been taken into custody. So we can all breathe a little bit easier. And the bicyclists of the Tour de France can be a little bit safer.

Although there was, you know, crashes that took place after that, you know, that she didn't have anything to do with. But it was her fault and we need to punish her. So she could face a fine up to 1,500 euros. and if other parties file complaints, which I'm sure they're going to do, thanks to the Tour de France, the potential fines could rise to 15,000,

as well as 12 months in prison. Now how safe do you feel? A lot safer, right? Yes. Yes, I'm definitely breathing a huge sigh of relief and you should be too. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Congratulations are in order to New York, Newark, but a title that was held by Los Angeles for 30 years is no longer their title. It was taken away. No, it's sad news.

The Texas A&M Transportation Institute, and who doesn't love the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, they had a study that ranks the worst traffic in each city of the United States, and the rankings are based on the total amount of hours drivers are delayed. The New York-Newark region spent 494,000. 268 hours in traffic stuck in traffic last year. Los Angeles dropped all the way down to 365,543 hours of time stuck in traffic. So, man, that is a bummer for Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Anaheim. I know, I know.

New York, Newark, spent. about 56 hours in traffic last year. Boston coming in at number two with 50. Wow, L.A. dropped three. Wow, man, what is going on in L.A. Boston spent about 50 hours stuck in traffic. Houston coming in at number three with 49 hours stuck in traffic. And Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Anahon.

are tied with San Francisco and Oakland at 46 hours stuck in traffic for the year. So I guess congratulations to New York and sad news for Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Anaheim. You saved, wow, almost 10 hours. I mean, New York, Newark kicked your butt with time stuck in traffic. So, I mean, yeah, congratulations. New York, Newark, man. There's nothing like driving in New York. Just what a pain.

A lot of pain. They deserve to be number one. And Houston, too. I mean, Houston is just, you know, a nightmare. You just get used to being stuck in traffic. And even here in Dallas, I mean, you get to drive time in Dallas, man, you just, you're there. And, you know, this is where you quote me, Jeff Fisher, chewing the fat. This is a quote of mine. Once you're in it, you're in it. And that's a quote. That's an official quote. I want credit on whatever page of quotes is there for Jeff Fisher. Once you're in it, you're in it.

And that started back in New York and Philadelphia and also here in Dallas, Fort Worth. Once you're in it, you're in it. Now they're claiming that nationwide, the traffic dipped to some of the lowest levels in the past 30 years. I wonder why that could be. I don't know. could it have been everyone was stuck at home not driving anywhere and i remembered i remember being out and driving into the studios during the lockdown and man it was nice man it was sweet now when i go in uh especially when i drive in early in the morning it's usually

about four four 30 and so it's only you know traffic is just starting to pick up. Drive time starts here about six-ish is what they say, but really it starts picking up about 5.30-ish. And in the afternoons, if you leave, I used to, if I left, if I leave the studios by 3 p.m. latest, you pretty much beat the onslaught of drive time. If you leave before 3 p.m., you go 3 p.m.ish, you pretty much. beat it, but any time after 315, it's already started. You're in it. Once you're in it, you're in it. So just take it easy. You either take the toll roads and spend a bunch of cash and drive fast. And even then, I mean, that saves a little bit of time, but only if you're going through

Fort Worth here in this neck of the woods, you need to take the toll roads. Otherwise, you're going to be stuck in traffic. And driving home from the studios, you know, there's the toll roads most if it's the heat of drive time you want to be on the toll roads but if there's an accident on the toll road then you're really screwed at least if there's an accident on the main roads because the main section that i drive through i think has i don't know one two three four five six seven fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen seventeen eighteen twenty lanes or something like that and so if you're on the one toll the one toll the one toll drive through the middle of that is one lane, both directions.

And so if there's an accident in your direction, you, good luck. Good luck. At least if you're on the, you know, the 10 lane side, you got a shot to get around it sometime. Anyway, congratulations to New York, Newark. And maybe once we get out of the pandemic, L.A. will shoot back to the top. and you'll be stuck in traffic longer than anyone other country. Yeah. Now how excited are you to own that title, huh?

Speaking of California and the great state of California, did you see where they have now restricted 17 states that taxpayer-funded travel cannot go to from California? They just added five more states. They added Arkansas. Florida, Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia. Yeah, there's no following their passage those states of new laws that restrict transgender youth from playing sports and block access to life-saving care for members of the LGBTQ plus community.

It's going to restrict travel to those states from California. Actually, those laws don't restrict the transgender youth from playing sports. It just restricts those youth from playing sports in the chosen, hey, I feel like this gender I can play in this sport. Anyway, just they've added something. I find it fascinating that they have all these states, Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,

where they plus plus the new states where there's no you're not able to go there if you're coming from California oh okay well are there exceptions well of course there are Jeff the exceptions are unless enforcement of California law including auditing and revenue collection litigation to meet contractual obligations incurred before January 1st 2017 to comply with requests by federal government to appear before committees, to participate in meetings or training required by a grant or required to maintain grant funding, to complete job-required training necessary to maintain licensure or similar standards required for holding a position in the event that the comparable training cannot be obtained in California or a different state,

not subject to the travel prohibition, for the protection of public health, welfare, or safety, as determined by the affected agency, department board authority, or commission, or by the affected legislative office. So pretty much, You can find some reason to be able to go to these states. It's just a show. It's just a show. Incredible.

So if you're looking for a gig, let's say you want to work for big tech and you want to work in D.C. Man, doesn't that sound like fun? Amazon has 76 openings for government affairs. Apple has 98 openings for, government affairs. Facebook has 583 openings for public policy managers. Google has 103 openings for public policy manager. Man, does that make you want to work for big tech? Let there be a no doubt. Big tech and the far left are joining forces to purge America of conservative views. And that right

there is an example of how they're doing it. And one of the things that I just, I can't wrap my head around is giving them all my information without having me with the say-so. So we're just choosing to give big tech companies all of our personal data. And we're doing it because we're, they're just, they're just doing it. They're just taking it. Well, the battle lines have been drawn. Big tech has made it clear which side they're on. So now it's time for you to take a stance. Protect your personal data from big tech. You make the decision.

You make the decision to protect your data from big tech with the VPN I trust for my online protection. ExpressVPN. Every device, whether you're on your phone, laptop, or TV has a unique string of numbers called an IP address. When you search for stuff, watch videos, or even click a link, big tech companies can use that IP to track all your activity and tie it back to you. However, when I use ExpressVPN, my connection gets rerouted through their secure, encrypted servers, so these companies can't see my IP address at all. My internet activity becomes anonymized and my network data is encrypted. The best part is you don't need to be tech savvy at all to use ExpressVPN, which I am proof positive of.

download the app on your phone or computer, tap one button and you're protected. I love seeing when ExpressVPN kicks in and is locked in on my laptop. I feel like, oh, okay, good. I'm better now. Just stop handing over your data to big tech companies whose aim is to censor you and spy on you. Defend your rights and protect your internet activity with the VPN I use every day.

three or four day weekend and if you're one of the 43.6 million people that are planning on hitting the road this holiday weekend don't worry about those gas prices they're only at the highest levels in the US in seven years. So don't worry about it.

Quit your whining. Just because you think, I mean, you don't, if you don't live in New York or Boston or Houston or Los Angeles or San Francisco, you're not going to get stuck in traffic anyway, right? So shut up. Quit your whining. Just pay the price. And that's exactly why our president,

I know I'm going to head down this road for, just a little bit, wants to spend, I don't know what, $7 billion on electric charging stations across the country? That's great. That's great. Because you don't use the charging stations without coal or natural gas. So, I mean, you're definitely going to save the planet by getting, you know, charging stations everywhere. It's just incredible. And if you're stuck in traffic, for any length of time. How's that battery looking for you? Are you able to keep the charge?

I mean, I hope so. But if your battery goes dead, what happens? I just amazing. I guess you walk. Is every, and I don't know this, I don't know the answer to this question. Is every trunk of an electric car equipped with a extension cord about, I don't know, what do you think?

What do you think you need? Four, five miles of an extension cord? Just in case. You know, you may only need a mile. You may only need a couple of miles. But what do you think? Just for a safe measure, we have one that's five miles long, just in case your battery goes dead on the interstate.

And there's not another charging station within that five mile range. And if there's not one within the five mile range, You're going to need an extension cord on the extension cord just to be able to charge your just to be able to charge your car, get the battery back up and running in, I don't know. How long does it take to charge a car battery? Two hours for enough to get up the road a little bit. So have fun. Have fun.

You're just going to be stuck on the side of the road. And don't worry about having any power for your heat or your air. AC or for anything, really, your GPS or your radio or whatever you need. Don't worry about that at all. Because you'll be able to walk four or five miles and put your extension cord into the charging station. And off you go. Off you go in three or four hours. Man, how good does that sound?

Huh? I know. I know it sounds really good. Hey, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Ontario, the weight is over. The gold standard of online casinos has arrived. Golden Nugget online casino is live.

Wow. So, my girl, Brittany, yesterday, got shot down to have her father removed from her conservatorship, at least for now. But this wasn't a petition to terminate her conservatorship, which I thought it was. I mean, she gave a 24, minute statement last week and it was powerful. I mean, it made her sound like a slave. On top of which, this is America. I mean hashtag free Britney. What the hell? If she wants to take her 60 million dollars out in the backyard and burn it, so what? She earned it. She can do it. She can go live on Skid Row after that.

What's it to you? She can go out and make a new album. She can go perform in Vegas if she wants. It's not up to you. It's agonizing. This thing really, really is frustrating. I see a TikTok video where rappers are throwing $100,000 in some lake or river. But Brittany can't spend her money? You freaking kidding me? So anyway, this thing that happened last week wasn't to terminate her conservatorship.

It was to appoint this Bessemer Trust Company of California as sole. conservator of the estate, which was denied without prejudice. So still back to just dad. So the new court filings are another legal setback for the singer, but the judge's denial apparently is nothing new. Brittany's attorney had filed the request to remove Spears' father back in November of 2020, stating that the client was afraid of her father, would refuse to perform again if her father continued to be in charge of her career.

At the time, this same judge, Brenda Penny, declined to suspend her father from the conservatorship, though she did not rule out future petitions for his removal or suspension. Also at the time, the judge appointed financial company Bessemer Trust as a co-conservitor. but now this is done, right? It's just dead. So, all right, I guess. I guess the paperwork was solely intended for the judge to approve Bessemer Trust as the co-conservator, but also reiterates, let me say the word,

reiterates the judge's decision to not remove the elder spears from the pop stars conservatorship. I mean, okay, so she's whacked out of her mind. Brittany's whacked. All right. I got it. And maybe, you know, we obviously don't know everything. We do know she's in Hawaii making videos on Instagram. We do know that she, you know, seems to be okay.

In her testimony, she talked about changing her medication. So that means that the medication she's, on, I guess, is keeping her somewhat sane. And that's what they're trying to do with through this conservatorship. But again, I go back to, yo. Yo, judge. Judge Brenda Penny, what up? This is America.

And if Brittany wants to burn her money in the backyard or, or go down the road and let it fly out of her convertible. It's her money. She gets to do it. I don't understand it. I don't. And I know that, I know that she's,

you know, she's got a nice house and a nice car. She gets to travel. But so what? So what? If she, if half of her testimony is true, that is unbelievable.

And I know that dad is concerned about the management and care of his daughter. Are you? Are you? Are you just concerned about, you know, getting her back out there on stage and make some more cash? I mean, come on. I know. I know. I know you.

People are tireless advocates for Brittany and her well-being. Yeah. Are you? All right. Whatever. She just, this is amazing for 13 years now. 13 years. And I know that she went off the deep end when this first started. I got it. But I still, holy cow, this is not America. If a, if a superstar, Brittany Spears, can have her life, her business, go. to her father, I know, but it's still not hers. It's not her decision. And her father gets to make all these decisions.

And we go before a court and the court says, yeah, yeah, that's fine. No, your dad's still, he's still doing it. And the court finds that you're just too crazy. Wow. I was really flabbergasted at it. And I'm also, as I'm reading this, I realize that it wasn't about terminating the conservatorship. It was about terminating her father. So she was still wanting the conservatorship, although through this other company, the Bessemer Trust Company of California.

And so it's just weird. The whole thing is just weird. Damn it. Hashtag free freaking Brittany. I know I added a word there, but. It's the new special chewing the fat hashtag. Yesterday, as we were recording chewing the fat, Bill Cosby was released from prison.

Incredible, right? And people were all wound up. And of course, I knew they would be, but we hadn't had time to take a look. I loved the Rosanna Arquette. Bill Cosby is still an evil rapist. The end. Yeah, he probably is.

But the way he was put in jail was wrong. So that's our system. I know that, you know, she, Rosanna is one of the Harvey Weinstein accusers. And she, you know, sharing her disgust at the decision to free Cosby. I know many young women and men are so afraid to press charges against their rapist and re-traumatize themselves. I'm heartbroken today. That's your problem.

I don't want to sound bad because I really do feel for the women if you've been attacked or you've been sexually harassed or abused. I got it. But you have to do something in a timely fashion like right now when it happens. You can't walk away and hide and then be mad when nothing happens. I don't, it's just a strange thing. I loved Kelly Bachman's tweet, just so we're clear. Bill Cosby is out of jail. Lewis C.K. is touring.

Chris Diella is still doing shows in L.A., and cancel culture is absolutely gone. Too far. That, dot, dot, dot. Too far. Yeah, Kelly. Cosby's out of jail. Lewis C.K. really took a hit on his,

on his profession and his work for, what did he do again? Oh, that's right. He asked adult females if he could take care of himself in front of them. So they had the opportunity to say, no. And many did.

But, you know, that's still terrible. He should have his life ruined for that, right? Okay. All right. I'm not saying that it's right. I'm just saying that it's, you know, I'm not saying that it's not weird. I'm not saying that it's not strange.

But anytime someone says, hey, Jeff, can I doodle myself in front of you? You know what? Depending on the mood I'm in, I'm going to say yes or no. No, but he's given me the choice. You are able to say no. I'm always just incredible.

And what's his face? Chris DiLia, Leelia, or whatever the hell his name is, doing shows in L.A. He was, he's been accused, I think, of inappropriate relationships with these underage girls. but he and he's got a Netflix special called No Pain and he

issued a statement to TMZ where he said that he never knowingly pursued any underage women and that all his relationships had been both legal and consensual.

That being said I really am truly sorry I was a dumb guy who absolutely let myself get caught up in my lifestyle. Wait, what? Yeah, and there were

the one story in here about an underage girl who he contacted through Instagram and she, nothing happened. Right? Nothing happened. She thought it was kind of weird and then communicated with him. And he asked, I guess, for her to

come to New York and be with him. which she never did. So, okay, what is wrong with that again? Oh, she was underage. That's right. So he can't talk to her at all, ever. I just, I know, I know, I'm an old school white man

that, you know, should be tired and feathered. You're happy? If you feel you've been wronged, go to the authorities right then. And be sure that in today's world, if it sounds bad and it ends up on social media, you're

the bad person, no matter what. No matter whether it was legal or not, it sounds bad. So you, along with chewing the fat and Jeff Fisher should be tired and feathered. Okay? All right then.

And just so we're clear, Let's go back in the Cosby timeline. In 2006, Cosby reached a $3.38 million settlement with Andrea Constan, who said Cosby had drugged and sexually assaulted her in his home in 2004. This was the case that he was charged with days before the 12-year statute of limitations expired. So the deal with that settlement was the civil suit, and that was supposed to be sealed, and that the incriminating statements he made in the civil case wouldn't be used against him in the criminal one. That's what the court is saying, no, that violated Cosby's due process rights for fair treatment. So that's why he's a free man now.

okay and i wondered i haven't even uh gone back and looked and you know maybe i will if i feel the urge but i wonder if she gave the 3.38 million back because it's not about the money right it's about justice and freedom and safety right or right i mean gloria all all right as much of a legal legal busy body as she is and she represented dozens of Cosby accusers. She even said, it's devastating. It's made clear that it did not vindicate him. Well, no, it didn't, Gloria. But how about you speak up for the law as an attorney?

I didn't hear you say any of that either. Just, okay, I'll stop. I'll stop. I'll just, I'll remind you to follow. me on my social media accounts, Twitter, at Jeffrey JFR, Facebook and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio. I hear that parlor is back up and running, but we'll see that's Jeff Fisher Radio there as well.

I had a post on Instagram about my story with the subway lady or the lady that, you know, found $21,000 in a subway bathroom and turned it in. And it was just agonizing to me that, A, someone would do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, that's what I mean. leave the money in the bathroom. Of course a nice person would turn it in. Of course they would. That's only the right thing to do. And then it was, I was upset that the police asked why.

But I guess as I look back at it, you know, if it got turned in from the bathroom and the police have been called, they're going to want to know why you are such a doofus that you leave $21,000 in the bathroom. But one person commented on my Instagram, Circle J79, said, Woman finds 35,000, but listens to CTF, so she knows better, 20,000 return. I love that. And believe me, I would like to believe that that is true. However, the story didn't say anything about the guy saying that he had left more money there.

And maybe he did. Maybe it was a drug deal. She deep pocketed an extra 10, and now the guy goes back to her. See, that's what you got to be careful of in some of this. You got to kind of noodle it out quick. You deep pocket the money. If you take it all, it's better because then you never saw it. I don't know what you're talking about.

I was in there. I was going, I did my thing, and I left. I didn't see anything. If the guy was in the middle of some kind of deal, of course, you know, buying a used car. Yeah, okay. And it was a drug deal in there was, let's say, say there was 35,000 there and you deep pocketed, you deep pocketed some and turned in 20,000. Okay.

But the guy knows that there was 35,000 there from the drug deal. Now he knows you took it because he knows that there was, you turned in only part of it. That's why you got to kind of, you got to kind of noodle that one out. It's better at that point to take it all. So you didn't see, I don't know what you're talking about. I went in there and did my thing, came out. there was no money there, sorry. And then you're good with it.

But the other times that we talk about are, you know, find when you, if, you know, a money truck, and you know, there's tons of money trucks that fall over all the time. And if a money truck falls over and the money is flying everywhere and you pick it up and then you hear, it's on video, we've got people on video picking up money, that's when you turn in only a little bit of what you took. because you say, yeah, I got carried away.

I was there. You see me on camera there. There I am. And I'm picking up money. And I just got carried away. Here it is. I'm sorry. I'm going to be a go home now.

But, you know, you obviously don't turn it all in. I mean, you know, once in a while, you just got to use your noodle. You can, you can quote me on that. You got to use your noodle. But thanks for listening to CTF. And I understand your confusion. So, you know, if there's ever a time, there is a confusion.

You can always, you know, message me on social media or email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I'll be happy to assist you on what you should do. So my main man, Elvis Presley,

the king. That's right, the king of rock and roll, uh, as going to have a new dedicated streaming channel. I know. I love it. It's going to start,

uh, in early 2020. through a new deal between Elvis Presley Enterprises and Synodem. I guess it's synodem, right? C-I-N-E-D-I-G-M-Sinidem. The channel's going to include archival content, special features, as music content from other major rock and roll artists, and the channel will honor the Love Me Tender artist

who sold more than a billion records worldwide and was nominated for 14 Grammys before his death in 77. He also appeared in 30 films. So I'm, that's kind of cool. The Senate is going to feature Presley programming with other specials as well. So they had his other special, the 68 comeback special, which was awesome. The Aloha from Hawaii via satellite, which was awesome. I mean, that's good stuff, man.

You're talking about the king. They're also planning to have, you know, Archives of legends, you know, Johnny Cash, Roy Orberson, specials about Memphis, how it influenced rock and roll, and it's going to have stream some music documentaries as well. Synodem is planning to make the Elvis Presley Channel available in the U.S. and Canada, and expects to distribute the programming with partners, Samsung, Pluto, Pluto, Roku, Hulu, Amazon, and To be. according to Eric Opelka or OPECA, right, OPEC, yeah, OPECA, I thought it was Opelca. Sorry, not related to Mike Opelca.

Eric Opeca, president of Synodem Digital Networks. There are a few individuals more iconic than Elvis Presley. He transcends time, genre, and medium. Eric, name those individuals that are more iconic. He is the iconic man, period. But I know Eric's trying to, you know, make everything okay. The opportunity to build a branded channel around Elvis opens up streaming possibilities to an entirely new demographic. Doesn't it though?

Doesn't it though? I know. I guess Synodons has a Bob Ross channel. I think I remember talking about that when they first did that. But I haven't had an opportunity to sit down and watch the Bob Ross channel. I bet my daughter has, though. We're thrilled to be. partner with synodem to launch the Elvis Presley channel, said Mark Rosen, president of

entertainment at ABG, which owns Elvis Presley Enterprises. Yeah, the Elvis fandom is incredibly passionate, and Synodum is best in class when it comes to serving fervent fan bases. Are they? All right. So, you know, I'm all for it. Let's bring it. No problem.

It comes, the announcement came just one day. After one of Hawaii's most iconic resorts, the Coco Palms Resort, once welcomed Presley, was set to be demolished after 30 years of abandonment. Oh, man. Bringing it down. Oh, no. I don't like that. I don't like it at all.

And the late Presley also received recent pushback from Quincy Jones. Wait, what? Quincy, I didn't know this. Hold on. This is the breaking news for Jeff Fisher on chewing the fact. Quincy Jones, who stated last month that he refused to work with Presley because Jones felt that he was racist. Elvis Presley was racist. Come on now. Quincy, we got to find out about this. One moment, please. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.

Okay, I know that Quincy is in his 80s now, and we loved his interview not long ago, two or three years ago. About his, what was that stupid interview that he did that was so great. I don't remember. I just remember we bade a big deal out of it. That's when Doc Thompson was still alive, and we were doing a show with Doc on the Blaze Radio. Anyway, Quincy is saying that I was writing for band leader Tommy Dorsey. Back in the 50s, Elvis came in.

Tommy said, I don't want to play with him. He was a racist MFer. And I'm going to shut up now the music. Oh, okay. All right. Okay. Quincy, we got you, man. He also said true, but Compote was racist,

wanting to know why he had a Negroed writing music for a film with no people of color in it. And Richard Brooks said, F you, he's doing the score. I did, and I got nominated for an Oscar. He's also one of the things about Quincy Jones that is amazing too. I mean, the guy is just incredible.

He's worked with almost everyone in Hollywood for years now. And he's got an he got too, right? He's Grammy, Emmy, Oscar, Tony. He's got it all. He's the man. So I would love to interview Quincy Jones, man, because he's at the age now where he's going to say whatever it is he wants to say. And it doesn't matter.

He doesn't care. He's Quincy freaking Jones, man. Hashtag Quincy Freakin' Jones, man. Freakin has to be at every hashtag for chewing the fat. I think. I don't know that I'm going to make that a rule, but I'm working on it. Oh, yeah. Happy birthday to China.

The Chinese Communist Party is celebrating its 100th birthday today. Yes, we love it. Listen, Ma was one of the original 13 members who attended the first party of Congress. in July of 1921. Yeah, it was actually on the 23rd, but hey, Mao decided I misremembered and we're going to go ahead and make the holiday on July 1st. And sure, China was just poor,

mostly agricultural country of 400 million people. Sure, they were plagued with civil war and unrest. But after the Communist Party gained power in 1949 in the revolution, Mao just initiated a series of economic reforms that only led to the deaths of tens of millions of people. The China that we know today, kind of, only began to take shape in the late 70s when Mao's successor, Deng Xiaoming,

opened up its market to international investors and established private property rights. Remember, that was Nixon and going to the wall and being all great with China. Well, since then, the GDP of China has risen from 191 billion in 1980 to 14.3 trillion in 2019. More than 770 million people were brought out of poverty. You know, they're allowed to be out of poverty.

And China, according to reports, will eclipse the U.S. as the world's largest economy by 2008. you know, one economic estimate. So since the liberation of China's economy, the country has developed close business relationships with the West. And let's not forget that Nike CEO, who said last week on his earnings call, Nike is a brand that is of China and for China.

Really? Yeah, yeah. That's right. You know, President, Jingping delivered a speech and it was a big holiday Chinese social media is all the buzz and all the miners are getting off work and they're going to try to reduce

air pollution yeah okay but in his speech Winnie the Pooh I'm sorry Jinping President Jinping he said that he will establish himself

as the most powerful communist party leader since Mao, I'm sure, you know, that's what he really wants. And he spoke of the foreign adversaries who are trying to bully China. Anyone who dares try to do that will have their heads bashed, bloodied against the great wall of steel. So there's that. Did I mention that the head of Nike said that they were a brand that is of China and for China. Huh. Weird. Weird how that happens, isn't it?

Huh. But never mind that the president said that anyone who dares try to, tries to bully China is going to have their heads bashed, bloodied against the great wall of steel. But hey, happy birthday. Happy birthday, China. I mean hashtag happy freaking birthday China I mean it hashtag

Happy freaking birthday China So I had this sent to me yesterday I might as well end on a little lighter note Although it's not a lighter note but it's kind of a lighter note So we'll just let you decide I got this sent to me from Jesse yesterday And I don't know if it's true or not

But you know you decide This is from Jesse. My wife and I went to the cattle auction yesterday. The first exhibits we saw were the breeding bulls. A sign on the first bullpen said, Big John, this bull made it 50 times last year. With a snarky tone, my wife nudged me in the ribs and said, that's almost once a week.

The second bullpen had a sign attached that said, Midnight Train. This bull made it 150 times last year. giving me a wink and a poke in the ribs, my wife said, Wow, honey, that's a couple times a week. And then we saw the third pin, which contained an amazing looking bull, and the sign attached red barn burner. This bull made it 365 times last year.

My wife was so excited that her elbow nearly broke my ribs, as she said, that's what's a day. You should ask him what he's got going on. And before thinking, I said, go ask him if every day he was with the same old cow. Apparently, Jesse's condition has been upgraded from critical to stable.
