I don't know where to begin today. My head is all over the place. So we'll just say get ready for the Fourth of July weekend. If you're listening live, this is the 2nd of July 2021. I'm heading into the 4th of July weekend. And we have her.

Alsa bearing down on the United States of America. It's way out there still, but it's looking the last report, the last advisory, has the cone of death going over Haiti, smashing into Cuba, doing a lot of damage to Cuba, almost the entire island of Cuba with Elsa. and then the cone of death encompasses the state of Florida. So if that stands true, which, you know, it probably won't. But if that holds true somewhere, no matter where you're at in Florida, you're going to be affected by Elsa.

Now, if it continues to, you know, they all want to turn back east and turn, you know, make that right, which we've talked about before, they all want to do that. And, you know, you're hoping that it's going to swerve right. And when it gets into the Dominican and Haiti and, you know, the beginnings of Cuba, it starts slowing down, weakening and maybe a little bit of the high pressure system will push it back east. So it misses some of Florida, but the keys are looking not good. Anyway, I know this. That's where my head is at today.

It's just, you know what? It's just chewing the fat and welcome to it. So yesterday and the day before we talked about the Tour de France and the criminal, the 30-year-old French woman who was in custody at the police station in northwest France where the tour de France, the biggest cycling event, was being held. Remember she's the one that held out the cardboard sign and then the rider hit it and caused this big crash. Well, the organizers who said they were going to sue her said they have now withdrawn their threat to sue the spectator. Wow. Now, I don't know why that is. Maybe because Tony Martin got into a couple other crashes after that without a cardboard sign.

But the organizers said we are withdrawing our complaint. This story has been blown out of proportion. about you but well and me you're welcome but we wish to remind everyone of the safety rules on the race if you come to the tour

you hold your kid you hold your pet and don't cross the road carelessly and above all you respect the riders they're the ones worthy of live TV huh so

I don't know I was feeling pretty safe yesterday that we had this woman in custody and now the story is saying was in custody which means she's free I don't know that I feel safe right now

I'll try to get over it but it's a little scary so it's Fat Pile Friday and we might as well just you know what let's just clear the desk hose it down swab it down do whatever you got to do and just go

through and get rid of it all because I'm you know by the time we get together again there's going to be another pile of fat and you know I just I I I after a while there's just too much fat. You can quote me on that after a while there's just too much fat. So a Boeing 737 200 cargo plane with two people on board made an emergency landing in the ocean. off the coast of Honolulu, Hawaii, early Friday morning. The aircraft went into the water at around 1.30 a.m. local time, about two miles from the Kalaelaela Airport. Both pilots aboard the jet have been rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard. Pretty incredible.

They took off from the airport, and they realized, hey, we've got problems. so is anybody there? Hello? Hello, anybody there? No? So we're going to turn this thing around and then they didn't make it. Then they landed in the water.

So there's still, both pilots have been rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard. A Coast Guard helicopter, airplane, and two boats were dispatched for the rescue. One pilot was found on the aircraft's tail. He was hoisted onto the Coast Guard. Eurocopter MH65 helicopter. The other pilot was found on the top of floating packages in the water and was rescued to a Honolulu

Fire Department boat after declining to be hoisted into a helicopter. Weird. So the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. Air traffic control had cleared the Boeing 737-200 operating as roads, Express 810 for takeoff from the airport. And Flight Trader 24 Data shows the aircraft making an immediate right turn from the runway, climbing to about 2,000 feet. And then there was some confusion as the air traffic control appeared to miss multiple calls from the aircraft.

It's becoming so routine that they just, yeah, we're busy. I'm going to get coffee. So the aircraft attempting to declare an emergency, according to air traffic control recordings, the air traffic control just missed them. Wait, what? So the roads 810, radio check, how do you read? The tower, after not hearing a response to their emergency call,

air traffic control had also been communicating and servicing other aircraft throughout the emergency. We don't care about the other aircrafts right now, dude, bra? We care about us, because we got engines going bad, okay? So pilots didn't immediately return to the airport, and they kept

flying away from Honolulu stating that they needed to run a checklist and would stay around 15 miles from the airport. So when you get a chance, can I get a nature of the emergency? I know you said you had an engine out, said one of the

tower guys. Yeah, you You know, I know. I know. Stop it. The air traffic control people. And so how many souls on board? What's your fuel like? What's going on?

So, I mean, they know that the airplane can fly with one engine, no problem. But by the time the aircraft requested to head back to Honolulu, they had lost sight of the airport and needed air traffic control to provide vectors. So pilots anticipated losing both engines after the operating engine showed signs of over. overheating, which is, you know, you're done flying at that point. So they landed in the ocean. They didn't quite make it back to the airport. They sent it out there all rescued, except for the packages. I don't know if they, you know, if the Coast Guard or picked up the packages, it doesn't say.

The Boeing 737200 involved was 46 years old and had started its life flying for Pacific Western Airlines. in Canada. After numerous stints in Canada and Malaysia, it found its way to Hawaii flying for transfer in July 2014. So, you know, there's that. And as long as we're over there in that part of the world, you know, over there in the Pacific ocean, let's go over to Washington and Oregon in the United States. of America over there on the Pacific side of the globe of the planet.

Air conditioners have become like gold. So of there, Washington and Oregon are having this big heat wave and cities, Seattle and Portland are, you know, well over 100 degrees. I would like to say as living in northern Texas in the DFW Metroplex, welcome to 100 plus degree weather. That's nice, isn't it? Yes. Well, it would be nice unless

if they had air conditioning. So apparently, well, now there are 35 cities in that region tied or broke heat records. So they're experiencing temperatures 30 to 40 degrees above normal.

I know. I know. But it's incredible that the small percentage of homes that don't have air conditioning. So, 44% of the homes in Seattle have air conditioners. Only 44%. Oh, wow.

I mean, I thought, are we living in caveman days? Okay, if you say so. Now it gets a little bit better in Portland. They have 79% of homes equipped with AC units. I know. I mean, you're looking at Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Houston, Atlanta, and Miami, 98%. Hello, yeah. And I'm guessing, I don't know that you can find a home.

Maybe you can find an old farmhouse here in this neck of the woods that doesn't have central heat and air. they've got to have probably a window unit, right? But if you want to make some money, man, get yourself some window units in the back of a U-Haul and drive up to Portland. You don't have to go to Seattle and just start selling them on a street corner, man, bring them into the flea markets,

window unit air conditioners. You could make some cash big time. And that's not actually a bad idea. get your air conditioners because they talked to the one story talked about how a local guy called the all the local home improvement store and the manager when I asked

hey do you have any air conditioning units laughed at me yeah I mean I'm sure all the stores are trying to get AC units there you know depots and lows and targets and Walmarts but what about fans? They're talking about the fans are gone,

the pedestal fans are all gone. You know, it would just be probably a good idea to be a little prepared for summertime. Just a thought, you know, maybe you have a fan. That's all. You know, whatever. But it's really, I mean, I have not lived anywhere that didn't have that even.

I mean, obviously here at DFW, you have central heating and air. I lived in Florida for a long time. Did I live in any place in Florida that didn't have air conditioning? No, they all had central heating there. Even the crappy little apartment I lived in, yeah, even the crappy little apartment I lived in St. Petersburg, Florida, and the crappy little apartment I lived down in Dere Beach. I had central AC in it as well, no window units. So then we lived, when I lived in Pennsylvania, there was no window units.

that was central heat and air. And when I lived in New Jersey for a little while, that apartment pretty sure had air conditioning. Because that apartment, the house was a three-story New Jersey, Weehawken House. It's up against the rock wall that's there. But the back wall of the bottom apartment, which is the one I was in.

was still rock. It wasn't even fixed up. There was no drywall or anything. I mean, it was still rock. I don't remember if that actually had AC or not. Maybe we were just getting, we were cooling down from the heat of the rocks that the house was built on.

But I don't think so. I think it had heating in air. Anyway, if you want to make some money, an idea from chewing the fat. Get yourself some window units. Probably a good idea to get yourself some fans. Put a load up a U-Haul top to bottom and head to the flea markets in Portland or Seattle and get those things sold.

And you can make some money right now. And yes, raising the price of them is not price gouging. Okay. You know, good luck. You ought to kind of do it on the side to keep it down because you know that they're going to come after people doing that for price gouging. So you got to get there and get it out of the way because you have a product

and they have the need and the money. That's what is supposed to happen in the world. Isn't it? That's what I thought. That's what I thought. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Oh, my gosh.

That is so good. All right. So as long as we're in the break room, let's talk about Donald Trump's. a new social media account. It's a social media platform. It's called getter, G-E-T-T-R, all caps, getter. Not getter done, but getter. So the new platform is marketed at fighting cancel culture, promoting common sense, defending free speech, challenging social media monopolies, and creating a true marketplace of ideas.

According to Politico, Trump's involvement with the project is unclear, as is whether or not he will set up an account on Getter and use it, though his proximity to Miller suggests that this may be the latest attempt to get him back in the churn of social media. The launch Getter comes after, yeah, Trump shut down his blog from the desk of Donald Trump. You know, there wasn't a whole lot of engagement with that. But I will say that I attempted to open a getter account on this new social media platform. And I got to the point where they were supposed to email me, you know, launch codes.

And it never came. And so I sent it again and said, hey, you know, send me the launch codes again. They never arrived to my email address. And so I replied again, saying, hey, send me the launch codes. And they never did. After the third time I was done, maybe this weekend I'll go back and try again, maybe to set it up. But, you know, all the names are gone. And if you're out there taking my social media names, shame on you.

but which you know jeffy jf r on uh on twitter jeff fisher radio on instagram and facebook and parlor which i'm told is open back up but i don't know that that's actually true and uh and now i'm trying to do this getter thing g t t r with the little red leaf fire thing on the top of their logo getter done uh so i you know whatever if you're going to be a social media platform, how about you work on that return an email policy thing? If we have to set up a launch code,

send it back, please. That would be nice. It's just me, though. Just me. I see where Megan McCain is leaving the view. I know. Dry your eyes. According to Megan, it wasn't an easy decision.

I know. I bet it wasn't. But she's going to step away from her her position on the view. She revealed that she's leaving the show after almost four years. I know. 36-year-old. 36-year-old now,

daughter of the late senator from Arizona, John McCain and Cindy McCain. Her mother joined the show as a conservative voice in 2017. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, she said, hey, I'm going to rip the Band-Aid right off.

And I'm going to say that, Whoopie, don't like you, enjoy, you are, I just can't take you anymore. No, she didn't say that. She said that my wonderful co-hosts and viewers at home, this is going to be my last season here at the view. I'm going to continue to co-host until the end of July, but the coronavirus pandemic dramatically changed the way I want to live my life, which is one of the reasons that I'm leaving. Oh, okay. Well, Thank you, Megan. We appreciate it.

And boy, will you be missed because I never miss an episode of The View. I can barely take, I mean, I can't believe the show is still on, first of all. First of all, I can't believe the show is still on. Second of all, I can't believe that the only time I see it is the clips that are posted, I'm sure, by their promotion department, or we, you know, have someone. There's someone out there that watches the show to get the clips that we see, which are terrible. So, you know, and they still get guests and people still show up for the show.

So, okay. I mean, if you're a view watcher and fan, good for you. That's why there's, that's why there's, you know, multiple entertainment places to go. that's what the multiple entertainment places are for, but I certainly don't understand it. That is for sure. Now, if you follow me on Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, you know that,

and I post them on Facebook as well, and I post sometimes on Twitter with them, but mostly it's an Instagram kind of thing. I post a license plate of the day, and I take pictures of people's license plates, and I like them, the vanity, license plates. And so there's a Nashville woman now who is suing Tennessee, the state of Tennessee, over her vanity plate, which she bought 10 years ago. And now they're saying, uh, your vanity

plate is offensive. And they want, they don't want to have her have it anymore. Well, wait, what? So her lawsuit against the state of, of Tennessee and the Department of Revenue Commissioner and the Tennessee Attorney General claiming her First Amendment rights have been violated. I don't know about that. But it is a fight of, hey, my right of having a vanity license plate, well, anything I want on it should be legal. And I know it's not.

But her license plate is 6-9 P-WN-D. U 69 P-W-N-D-U It's her vanity She's had it for more than a decade And of course, I mean Do you get it? 69 pound you?

Do you get that? And so now they don't want to let her have it anymore And I say A boo to Tennessee and they put up a fight like this over a vanity plate and there's been several other you know vanity plate wars going on around America but those are ones that

you know I know that there's some that are going to be offensive that you don't want on a license plate and I'm sure you can think of ones that are very offensive you know like I found God oh man you cannot have that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. But some of them are kind of cool. I mean, if you look at the ones, some of the ones that I post in the past, I take picks, B-I-X, the one on a Tesla T-Model X,

interesting. And I posted one the other day that I swore was not my license plate that said super heavy. That's not my plate. I know you people want to think that. it is and ha ha ha that's not my plate there was one good you know wood pig and there's you know there's others that are funny and they're not offensive and i like them but even if they were offensive as far as i'm concerned it's not offensive at all i just do whatever you want to put it on your license plate go ahead that's fine but to say that 69 pound you or i'm sorry 69 pw and d is offensive, stop it. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners,

I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard?

At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winters? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. We know we have the Olympics coming up, and we know that Gwen Barry, the hammer thrower, has been all in the news, and she's doubled down now on the Star-Spangled Banner,

being racist. Really, Gwen, yes, she says that there's no question. The third stanza of the national anthem is racist. Is that right? Gwen. Well, first of all, no one sings it. And I would venture to say that very few people even know it exists. But those of you that do, this is what it says, okay? And where is that band who's how vauntedly swore that the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, a home and a country should leave us no more, their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, and the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave, or the land of the free and the home of the brave. So that is racist, according to Gwen. Now, the The only reason that it must be racist is that it says the word slave. Well, but it doesn't mean anything bad about the slave, except that there was, you know, it mentions slave. It talks about the hireling and the slave. There's no refuge for anyone.

There's no refuge from terror of flight or the gloom of the grave. There's no refuge. You can stay there and fight. You can run away. It doesn't matter. There's no refuge. I don't understand. It's just agonizing.

Agonizing. And this isn't the first time. This has happened. And I remember, and I don't remember why we were looking into it. Who was saying that it was racist? I do remember looking into it is how I knew there were more than one verse of the national anthem. In fact, there's four. And some would tell you that there's five,

because there's a fifth verse, an unofficial verse, written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, you know, 50 years later, but, or longer, really, half a century or a century after it was done. Anyway, it's unofficial. But there are four verses. And I remember looking into it because someone else was claiming, that this third verse was racist. It's not. It just mentions slave. And heaven forbid you mention slave in anything that makes it racist. All right, Gwen, you don't know what you're speaking about,

but you go ahead and keep speaking it, okay? And she's still going to the Olympics. I see where Sha Kerry Richardson may not go. She tested positive for marijuana. I'm I know. And she's not trying to blame anyone. She's 21. She's a sprinter. She tested positive for marijuana at the U.S. Olympic trials. So she said, hey, I know what I did.

I know what I'm supposed to do. I still made that decision. All right. She's been suspended from the Olympic team after testing positive for THC. I want to take responsibility for my actions. I'm not looking for. excuse. They gave her a one-month suspension as a result of her positive marijuana test. So the suspension began on June 28th. The rules are clear, but it's heartbreaking.

And hopefully her acceptance of responsibility and apology will be an important example to us all that we can successfully overcome our regrettable decisions. Yeah, that was from the U.S. say the USDA, the doping agency, CEO Travis T. Tiger. I guess it's Tiger. T-Y-G-A-R-T. Thank you, Travis. We appreciate it.

And I know she tested positive, but she's still taking, you know, she's taking responsibility. And there's no bashing of America, nothing. Remember, you may remember her because she's always got long lashes and she has, you know,

colorful hair and she's been a fan favorite. Remember she ran to the stands to hug her grandmother when she won the race at the Olympic track and field trials? So I just, you know, anyway, I just find it interesting that she's probably going to miss the Olympics,

so we'll see if she does. does. I find it incredible that you can hate out of the United States and call the United States racist, but you can't have a little pot in your bloodstream. Are you kidding? We're in 2021. They can go to the Olympics and be overwhelmed with condoms and you can do whoever you want to do with the Olympics. But heaven forbid you have a little pot in your blood. That's kind of agonizing. As long as we're on sports, we might as well talk about college athletes who scoffice. a big win this week. The NCAA dropped its restrictions on athletes making money

from their names, images, and likenesses. Isn't that interesting? I know. The relaxation of the rules governing name, image, and likeness allows college athletes to sign endorsement deals and make money off their fame for their name. So good for them. 25 states have passed, and I think it's good for them.

I feel like as long as they're not getting paid for the games, then were okay. But I still, I don't know, it just doesn't seem, it seems like they're really trying to ruin college sports. And they're coming pretty close to it. And now we talked a little bit about it on Pat Unleash this morning, where players are able to transfer to other schools now with no penalty. So, I mean, okay, that's going to turn it into a nightmare when a player gets mad because he got butt hurt because a coach hollered at him. But 25 states have passed a name image and likeness bills that challenged the NCAA's ruling banning students from monetizing their popularity. And so, you know, when they got the Supreme Court ruling and the state rulings, the NCAA's ruling,

The NCAA said, you know what, let's go ahead. We're going to go ahead and lift those restrictions on NILs, okay? Yeah, yeah, that's fine. No problem. Now, I mean, we've already got twin sisters who play for Fresno State's basketball team are the newest spokespeople for Boost Mobile. Wisconsin starting quarterback released a personal logo. Everyone needs to have a personal logo.

And Arkansas wide receiver, he and his dog, to deal with PetSmart. So, okay, all right. If that's what you want, that's what you get. Good luck. God bless.

Well, Pfizer and its German partner, Biointech, planned to ask for FDA emergency use authorization of its COVID-19 vaccine in children ages 5 to 11. Wow. I don't know that I agree with that. I mean, they can go ahead and ask for it,

but I certainly wouldn't give it to my children. That's up to you. You make your own choice. No problem. You do this America. You make your own choice. But that's a questionable choice in my view. Pfizer-Moderna and Johnson-and-Johnson vaccines are thought now to be effective

against the highly transmissible delta variant, meaning other major wave of infections and hospitalizations unlikely. According to the director of the CDC, Rochelle Owolensky, if you're vaccinated, you are safe from the variants that are circulating here in the United States. Wow. I mean, they're really pushing all we hear about is Delta variant, Delta variant, Delta variant.

So that goes against the administration's push of the Delta variant. So we'll see how that works out. I know J.P. Morgan is saying that he wants people back into the office. But other banks, UBS, Swiss Lending Giant, as well as Synchrity Financial, they are a provider of Amazon and PayPal credit cards. both all of those announced hybrid work plans. UBS plans to let two-thirds of its staff work remotely. Synchrony will offer three different office options,

permanently remote for those who love their noon showers, satellite locations for employees to reserve desks, hybrid schedules with a sign. Really weird. Just really, really strange. We can't make that decision. However, you know, it's going to be tough getting people back in the office. That is for sure.

I see in, well, it's not really the UK. It's in the TikTok world of the UK. Students have decided that they have figured out how to fake positive COVID tests from this lemon juice and other hacks that they've got from TikTok. So these students are saying, oh, yeah, hey, positive, can't come to work. I mean, that's school. People aren't doing this to get out of work yet.

So young people are applying various liquids to lateral flow tests and have racked up millions of views on TikTok and a bunch of other users are offering other suggestions. So you can check it out. Hashtag fake COVID test. There's only been, I don't know, six or seven million views. And the account at dot fake COVID test has about 20,000 followers.

So education leaders, of course, this is massively unhelpful. Schools are already in a battle to keep education going amid the outbreaks. Yeah, you're at a battle of keeping it going. You're at a battle of, hey, we don't want to work. Well, we want our children to be educated. We just don't want to have to go in. So according to this, one of the videos is viewed, you know, two and a half million times.

And it's so applesauce, Coca-Cola vinegar, hand cider, and kiwi fruit are among the suggestions, users are encouraging others to apply to the test. in hope of the testing positive for COVID-19 so they can stay away from school. It's the lateral flow tests are required. Okay, but they're supposed to be followed by the PCR test. So we'll see if that actually works out. I'm probably sure it's worked for some already.

I love the idea that we're just going to fake it, though. Yeah, we got COVID. It's not anything bad to have COVID now. It's a, yeah, oh, yeah. I do not feel good, and I just tested positive for COVID. Yeah, did you, did you? Yes, I did. I tested positive for COVID.

Sure, on my TikTok page, I went ahead and poured lemon juice on the test and it showed that I was positive for COVID. But for you, I'm positive and I can't come. to school. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Now, TikTok, of course, you know, they're all about, hey, hey, hey, our community guidelines make clear that we remove content, which includes misleading information that causes harm, including medical misinformation related to COVID-19 and anti-vaccine disinformation

more broadly. Have you? Do you? because I know you're busy banning TikTokers that are wearing wife beater t-shirts under the underneath your pornography banner but you're leaving this kind of stuff up okay all right sure thing stream and subscribe to more blaze media content at the blaze.com slash podcasts all right before we get into just headlines I opened up a bunch of stories that I want to try to get to so we'll just go down through the tabs

could be a little frightening. I'm looking at one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen tabs open right now. And we'll see if we can make it

through the tabs, shall we? But first, I wanted to maybe talk a little bit about Surfside and the update in Florida. We're looking. Looking now at, I believe, 20 bodies have been found, have been recovered.

And so now we're looking at, you know, 140 some unaccounted for still. Sad. The last couple of bodies have been children. It's very sad in Florida. And they are just trying to recover. It's still a rescue mission. I don't know for how long that's going to be a rescue mission. We know we have the hurricane bearing down,

which could possibly hit Florida and looking more and more like it will. So that, I mean, even the cleanup will have to be halted, let alone the search and rescue. So it's very sad going on. I will say that I did listen to an interview of a couple who filmed the building just before it collapsed. and you know the guy has got to be really angry with his wife because she stopped recording before the collapse so he didn't get the collapse on video he got the building just before it collapsed

and you see where the water is starting to gush through and they said that they felt the ground shake and so they started filming and then he talks about his wife saying that the building was going to collapse and how he didn't believe her just incredible And what happened was like the first floor collapsed. You can see all the rock. And then the pipe, the pipe with a lot of water. You know, the piping in the water? Then my wife said, oh, baby, I think, no, that building is going to collapse.

And I say, you're crazy. I mean, this America, that's not going to collapse. Don't worry about it. Thank you. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. She stopped taking a video. When she stopped doing the video, we start seeing.

people going to the balcony. Right. And that's when and that's when the building collapsed. But my point was even he says, that's not going to happen. This is America.

I mean, wrong. Wrong, my friend. And sadly wrong. That's very, very disheartening because it's not supposed to happen in America. So hopefully we'll figure out exactly what caused it. And we can not let that ever happen again.

That'd be nice. All right, let's get to the tabs, the headline on chewing the fat tabs. So the first tab, we'll start here with potentially hazardous asteroid to make close but safe approach on Thursday. So, whew, if you're listening live on the 2nd of July 2021, and that means it's Friday, and we survived. the potentially hazardous asteroid did not hit us. How about Senator Markey from Massachusetts? I believe you have Massachusetts.

Extreme heat is a justice issue. Within the same city, some neighborhoods can be up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than others. Studies have shown that the heat risk is disproportionately distributed to communities of color in patterns associated with segregation and re-esely. defining. Everything is racist. Even extreme heat is a justice issue. Wow. Okay. The NFL finds Washington football team $10 million after an investigation into the franchise's culture. Allegations of rampant sexual misconduct within the Washington football team organization complete. The NFL has fined. the team 10 million and

what's his face the owner he Dan what's his name yeah Dan Snyder he has now named his wife Tanya Snyder as co-CEO

and she is going to assume responsibilities for all day-to-day team operations and represent the club at all league meetings and other league activities for at least the next several months. Wow. Okay. Felicia Rashad issues new statement after her Bill Cosby support backlash. She didn't take it away though. I know. I know. Don't look at me like that. I get it.

And I'm ready to say, of course she did. But really, she didn't take away what she said, the support. She just said, you know, after her, a terrible wrong has been righted, a miscarriage. of justices corrected. She took a lot of heat for that. So she said, look, hey, hey, hey, I fully support survivors of sexual assault coming forward. My post was in no way intended to be insensitive to their truth. Personally, I know from friends and family that such abuse has lifelong residual effects. My heartfelt wish is for healing.

Yeah, so there, take that. She didn't take it back, so I kind of, you know, I'm kind of okay with it. Nicole Hannah-Jones will be given tenure at UNC. Remember Nicole Hannah Jones from the 1619 Project and the New York Times and everything is racist world. she was offered a gig as a professor at UNC with tenure and then there was an uproar and they said, okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We'll give you five years, you can be a professor

and then we'll revisit the whole tenure thing. She said, no, I'm not doing that, okay? No way. I won't do it unless I get tenure and I'm going to sue you. Well, then they had a closed door meeting and they decided, you know what, let's give her tenure. That's fine. Don't worry about it. It's fine. So good news for you, UNC students. You have Nicole Hannah-Jones ready to be your professor. I know. I know. There's an Iran story here. Do we care about Iran, I guess? Maybe the State Department backs Iranian protesters. And of course, you know, Biden is, you know, busy playing footsie with the new hardline regime. So we'll see. He's another. hate America guy and the people are protesting.

So the state department is like, yeah, we're on the protesters side. Go ahead. Keep those protests up. And the White House is like, oh, no, bad. Bad protesters. We want to make a deal with the new leader of Iran. So bad protesters, bad. And the state department is like, yeah, go ahead.

We're all for them. Go, go, go. No problem. We're not funding any of it, though. Don't. We're not funding any of those. Protesters. Don't think about that. We're just on their side, okay? And then we're speaking of good people, China. This kind of pisses me off. How is China going to have the first human on Mars? How is that possible? How? Tell me. I know you can't tell me. But I'm just saying they're going to have the first, they're saying they're going to send the first human to Mars. Elon, what are you doing, bro? Let's go. Hop on a rocket ship and let's go. More from our, what's his headline?

What's his title? Oh, yeah, Attorney General. So much I respect Merrick Garland. He's the Attorney General. But he has decided to halt any further federal executions. I'm surprised that it took that long, to be honest with you. I thought for sure that would happen right out of the bat. Prince Harry and Prince William.

Yes, the Royal News. They made up and played nice when they revealed the mom's statue. Princess Diana's 60th birthday statue was revealed, and both Billy and Harry were there to honor their mother. And so the fight still kind of continues. I don't know what kind of fighting's going on between those two, but he's over there by himself. Megan left him alone.

So there's that. Maybe William can talk a little sense into him, But I don't know, man. I do not know that Megan's got that chain wound tight around Harry. That's for sure. So we'll see if William can make a little noise with that. Speaking of Megan, a professor, an adjunct professor, suggests that sex work on the side is the best thing young people can do early in their careers.

I know. How long have I been saying it? So this University of Ottawa Adjunct professor said, eh, sex work on the side. Young people could do it earlier in their careers. It's a good thing. Really?

Yeah, it was been an unpopular comment, really, that she made. But, you know, that's how capitalism works. People out there say, young people can be exploited in sex work. Literally, that's how capitalism, and quite literally that's any kind of work. Right?

Thank you. Thank you. And I'll leave you with a Gator story. You know, I love Gators. One of my favorite theme parks in the world is Gatorland in Florida, and Kissimmee, Florida, just on the outskirts of Orlando. And Disney has been removing gators from their parks, especially since they had the death of that young child.

And that was way back in 2016 now. I mean, you know, five years ago, way back, feels like way back in 2016. But they have now removed 250 gaiters from their Florida parks. Now, you would think that they would, you know, send them off somewhere, maybe send them to Gatorland. Nope. We went ahead and contracted with trappers through the state. and the wildlife agency, and we're removing the big toothy reptiles, and we pay the trappers 30 bucks for every gator captured,

and the proceeds from any leather and meat sold, they get that too. So wait, they get proceeds from the gator skin and the food. Yeah, we're just, they were shipping them off, and then we're just killing them all. Oh, okay, well, thank you. No problem. Actually, I mean, it's not that bad of an idea.

I'm just surprised Disney's not taking a cut. Unwrap holiday magic at Holt Renfrew with gifts that say I know you.
