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 Winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners, find fabulous for less. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So greater Omaha packing out of Omaha, Nebraska, has recalled approximately 295,000, 236 pounds of raw beef products,

intended for non-intact use that may be contaminated with, Coli, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Services announced this, and they also want you to know that the raw beef products intended for non-intact use were produced on July 13th of this very year, and they give a complete list of products, along with the product codes. There's only about 39 or 40 products that they list on their list. But I was particularly concerned about non-intact use. I don't really remember ever hearing what, you know, non-intact use is, but non-intact beef is just beef products that include beef that has been injected, enhanced with solutions, mechanically tenderized by needling, cubing, or pounding

devices, or reconstructed into formed entrees. You know, beef that's been scored to incorporate a marinade, beef that has a solution of protolytic enzymes applied to or injected into the cut of meat, or a formed and shaped products such as beef gyros. In addition, non-intact beef products include communitated beef products that are chopped, ground, flaked, or minced, you know, fresh veal sausage and fabricated beef steak. Now it goes on, there's a whole page of, of Non-intact beef facts. I don't know. Maybe it's a good idea,

but let's go ahead and recall that 295,236 pounds. Okay, nobody wants to get E. coli, especially, or even if it's from non-intact beef intended for non-intact use. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates are now officially divorced. The judge approved their split on Monday of this week. If you're listening live, today is the 5th of August, 2021, a Thursday.

So it would have been the 2nd of August, 2021. The divorce made official by the judge. So they were married in 1994. They announced in May that they would be ending their marriage after 27 years. We no longer believe we can grow together as a couple into this phase of our lives. Yeah, the kids are adults and it's time I want you out. So I guess they have a separation contract, which is not public. So neither person is going to pay spousal support.

Yeah, okay. And right now, I guess, is worth, or the worth is $152 billion. So if they split it in half, you're looking at them being worth $76 billion each. I don't know if they'll be able to get by. I'm going to go ahead and say that I could get by on $76 billion. But that's just me. You know, I know how to be frugal and how to, you know, you know, cut corners and, you know, get meat from intact meat sources.

So I don't know what's happening. I mean, I guess they're going to try to work together at the charity for a couple of years. And according to this, if after two years either decides they cannot continue to work with each other, French said she'll resign her position as co-chair and trustee. Oh, so if they can't work together after two years, she'll say goodbye, have a nice day. Well, that isn't that special. So I'm sure their offices will be at the opposite ends of the hallway and we'll see how it works out. It's going to be interesting to see where the money goes.

Now, I know that apparently they were fighting over who gets some of the money as kids, right? So the kids were struggling during this divorce. I know just the other day, the daughter, Phoebe, 18 years old, was spotted wearing a dress that was only worth like $70. Wow. I mean, she's, you know, she's got to be upset. I mean, maybe she got it, I don't know if she got it at goodwill. I don't know what secondhand store she got it at, but, you know, okay.

She's trying to cut a few corners with her 16. $29 dress, but sure, she was wearing a Gucci necklace and pendant that was worth, I don't know, $2,500, $3,000, something like that. One can't go out with just a dress without any jewelry on, duh. But apparently, it was being reported that Bill only wanted to give like $10 million to each kid. Wow. How pissed are you as one of their kids? You've been living, I mean, $10 million? bucks, I spit on $10 million.

When your dad has been, you know, one of the richest men in the world, 10 million bucks, holy cow, you will be wearing dresses that are only $69 each. And that Gucci chain with the pendant, yeah, that's going to have to, maybe you might have to drop that off at the pawn shop to cover your rent next month. 10 million? Holy cow. I'd be pissed at dad for that. So I don't know what happened in the end.

Maybe Melinda talked them out of it. Like, if you're Bill Gates kids, what do you think you're worth? Right? So mom and dad are splitting up and maybe they get 50-50, which is, you know, 70-some billion each. So you're going to get something from in the end. But to have to struggle after the divorce and you're moved out and they're considering you an adult. and they're only going to give you $10 million to live on? No, dad, no.

How about each kid gets $25 to $50 million, something like that, with, you know, half of it can't be spent for 20 years or something like that. So it's just for investments and you don't get to just blow it all so that, you know, in 10 years you come back to dad and go, yeah, remember that $50 million you gave me? Yeah, it's all gone. I need a little bit of help. Go see your mother.

So we'll see. But 10 million does seem a little cheap. I'd be unhappy as a Gage child, only getting 10 million. That would be, I wouldn't be going to any parties with Dad anymore after that. You know, unless I thought I could get some more out of them by going to the party, then you show up. Hey, how's it going? How do you think it's going, Dad? I'm struggling.

I don't have any money to do anything. I can't go out anymore. I'm stuck wearing these $70 dresses. Maybe you could give me just a little bit more money, please. And you know, he's going to be doing it. So, I mean, but $10 million. Oof, no. And they keep after him on the Jeffrey Epstein connection.

He already said in his interview that he met with him a couple times. Epstein said he was going to give him a bunch of money for the nonprofit. and after they met and he realized that, you know, it was a mistake. He's not really doing this. I got out of it. I mean, I don't think there's any proof that he was ever on the Lolita Express and out at the, you know, little, whatever the heck he called his island out there at the little St. James, little St. Jeff, or whatever he called his island for, you know,

his sex slave island. And, you know, I know we hear stories. Oh, he fainted when he heard. This caused a divorce. Okay. Did it? Did it? I don't know.

It just, I don't know what kind of. We heard his excuse. Until there's proof of something else, I'm going to go with what Bill said. But I will say, give the kids more than 10 million, you cheap, son of them. Anyway, I apologize.

I wanted to apologize. That's right. We'll go here. I want to apologize to Megan Markle. Yesterday, I wish, Happy Birthday to Barack Obama. It was his birthday

the 4th of August 2021. Well, I completely forgot that it's Megan's birthday as well. Megan Markle, Duchess of Sussex. She's still a Duchess?

Happy birthday. She turned 40 yesterday. And I just missed her birthday. I mean, she's got to be really pissed that she has to celebrate it on the same day as Barack. She takes the shadow away from Barack, doesn't it, Meg?

Sorry about that. But anyway, the big news was that she did a video and she launched her 40 by 40 global project to encourage people around the world to commit to giving 40 minutes of their time to support women going back to work. And who doesn't want to do that? So she had her big video launch of that. And she had other stars commit to 40 minutes. Adele, Amanda Gorman, Stella McCartney. I mean, the wife of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,

Melissa McCarthy was there to promote the charity message. So it's special. But she also showed a picture of her desk. And on the desk was the first little picture of Lillibat. I know. Littlebet, Mountbatten, whatever a stupid name is. I can't remember the kid's name. That's right.

Lilbet, Diana, Mountbatten, Windsor. So we still got a, you know, quick look at her. And it got me thinking about, have you watched The Prince yet? It's on HBO Max. It is really, really funny. And if you think, I don't know. It's, you know, it's animated. and, you know, I don't know that I would like it that much.

Well, the UK is upset about it. Yeah, they do not want, they've accused the producers of going too far, branding the series as repulsive and cringe-worthy, taking on the royal family like that. They won't have it, which makes me want them to take them on even more. And to be clear, every episode starts with the royal decree that says you are ordered to enjoy the following program, but please note all persons and events in this show are entirely fictional.

Like this isn't really the royal family. It's like a parody or whatever. And certain recent events will not be reflected in this program because, again, not real. So chill, that's an order. But it is really funny. And Orlando Bloom plays Prince Harry, uh, Francis Dillot, Poor plays Queen Elizabeth. Lady Punch plays Kate Middleton,

who plays a drunk. I mean, it's just really, really funny. Sophie Turner plays Princess Charlotte. And Gary Gianetti, the guy who created it all, plays Prince George, and it's surrounded around George. And Condola Rashad,

who does a great job is Megan Markle. I mean, it's really, really funny and worth the watch. We'll get into it. I haven't watched. It's only 12 episodes, and they're all about, I don't know, 13 to 18 minutes long or something like that.

But I haven't watched them all yet. There's 12 episodes on HBO Macs. So once I get through them all, we'll do a full review. But it is really funny. The Prince. All right. Let's go to the break room. I need something ice cold to drink.

And I need something now. So another prediction kind of come true for the old CTF facts, the chewing the fat fat facts. Mike Richards, the executive producer of Jeopardy. I told you, after they went through all this, they needed to make a decision and get on with the show for Jeopardy. And Mike Richards was the best one. All these stars came out and it needed to be someone who was not,

a star who was just a person who was there and can just be the show. And that was Mike Richards. He was the executive producer. Everybody loved him. And now apparently it's being reported that Sony Pictures is in advanced negotiations. And, you know, look, by that, it means that he does a bunch of other shows that are either going to take a bite or he does them all. And good luck killing yourself for the next 10 years doing that.

Might be worth $50 million or $60 million for 10 years or whatever the deal is. But if he's just going to do hosting of Jeopardy and get rid of the rest of it, he's got to sign. I mean, it's got to be at least a 10-year, $100 million, $150 million deal to just do Jeopardy and be the guy and be the guy. And he's not going to, while he is the guy that technically replaces the guy, they have a long enough period now between all these guest hosts that he's going to be the new guy. Right. He's the guy.

So let him be the guy for Jeopardy and let's get this thing moved on. So, I mean, really, are we going to have LeVar Burton or Aaron Rogers be the host of Jeopardy? No. No, sorry. It was a cute little thing that we all. did to get over Alex, and now it's time to move on. And that's what I said in Sony Pictures. You're welcome.

I appreciate you listening to Chewing the Fat. If you'd like to get into advanced negotiations, call me. I'm here for you. I see Louis C.K. just announced his national tour. He's going to be back out into the world. We'll see how well that goes.

I mean, people were so upset with this. guy and I you know he was he was asking people if he could you know take care of himself while they were there and I mean you they couldn't say no some people did we had stories of some people were saying yeah I just told him no Louis not now and he and he obliged so come on now so anyway he's going to be back out on the road he said telling some inappropriate jokes and stories. He said that to his email of fans, hello person that you are being right now. And he talked about being out on the road and it's going to be a good thing and they're going to follow all COVID-19 laws and they're hoping that, you know, everything works out.

And we're hoping that every show that is scheduled they will be able to do. But they're going to comply with everything and he's ready to get back out on the road. So good. They'll have Louis C.K. to kick around. the road for a while. I see, you know, ice tea. Ice tea. You know, I'll be a love them. So apparently, uh, their five-year-old daughter, their five-year-old daughter, uh, likes to still breastfeed, uh, every now and then. And people were all wound up about this. It was a big deal, right? So, um, iced tea slapped back at the critics. I mean, he got back. No way. He was mad. You're not going to take down the wife, man. He loves her.

And she loves him. And they've been a, you know, they've been a couple for quite some time. Now, I don't know how long they've been together. It's got to be like 20 years. Anyway. So he, you know, I saw the headline of the wife taking a hit a little bit of talking about how they, she still lets her five-year-old breastfeed once in a while. And it's a good way for them to connect and, you know, whatever.

And she didn't want to give up that connection. So then one follower writes, not sure if I'm jealous of a five, year old breastfeeding and iced tea was like uh you are you've never sucked a pretty another observer accused ice tea of inappropriately equating a sex act with breastfeeding which he shot down with yet another tweet and um i kind of agree with this and i you know what if you want to breastfeed your kid till they're you know a thousand i don't care you do what you want because it's your kid and that's exactly what iced tea's response was why the F are you worried about my child that's what's weird now go back in the basement

news flashed I'm still breastfeeding every chance I can so there you go just she you know let let the let the mom be with the kids shut up she said I'm not going to take it away from her it's a big bonding moment for us for me the mother and the child. So back off me. So that's what I say back off. And speaking to back and off, why is everybody up against Billy Eilish now? What's wrong? What happened? Why are we supposed to like her now? She was like this big superstar, woke person, young kid, great, making videos at home with the brother and world was great. And this seems like for some reason, she's there, she fell off the, she fell off the we like bandwagon because not too long ago. Remember, we, they, they,

took after her because she didn't know how much serial cost or something like that. And then there was something else. Oh, the dressing, the way she dressed. And then now she said, this is horrific, actually, and I hope, you know,

I don't want you to hate her after, I tell you what she said and what she did, but you might have to. She was promoting her new album. And she put together a TikTok video and she

greeted her Israeli fans by saying hi Israel what? I mean the horror the horror and now she's being called a Zionist

and how dare you it said it also said I'm so excited that my new album happier than ever is out now but how dare she hi Israel oh man the horror why are you kidding me we can't even say hi Israel one social media account said I'm a Palestinian that doesn't have the right to see my country again and if I go there I'd live in fear of being bombed or

killed. Think before you speak. Another Twitter user posted photos of a crying child and captioned it me, a longtime Billy Ely's fan and supporter of Palestinian liberation, seeing her make a video saying, Hi, Israel, and proceeding to promote her new album to her Israeli audience. Oh, I know. She said, hi Israel. Well, another said, Billy Eile's promoting Israel in the middle of a literal massacre of Palestinians is sickening. Celebs actually make me sick. She said, hi, Israel. Give me a break.

Come on. So, I mean, you can understand why Billy Eilish is. so hated now. I don't, but maybe you do. Welcome aboard Air Canada. Rocky's vacation here we come. Whoa, is this economy? Free beer, wine, and snacks. Sweet. Fast free Wi-Fi means I can make dinner reservations before we land. And with live TV, I'm not missing the game. It's kind of like I'm already on vacation. Nice. Air Canada. Nice travels. Wi-Fi have to AeroPAN members on equipped flights sponsored by Bell.

Conditions apply. See Air Canada.com. Remember way back in June. I can't remember that far back either, but Amazon reportedly destroyed 130,000 unsold and returned items in a single week. And then we had the big report that Burberry and Urban Outfitters, H&M, Nike, Victoria Secrets all have the same practice. And that people were all wound up.

How could these companies be doing this? And we don't know what's going on. And there's all, we don't know what to do. There's more than a million items a year that's being destroyed. And then, well, they've got a warehouse in Scotland that destroyed all these returned items. And Burberry, they've come clean. And they've said, yeah, well, we use specialist incinerators that harness energy from the process. And we destroyed goods.

And it was only worth about 37 million. I don't worry about it. That was just a, oh, that's it. It's just, you know, look, we make $3.8 billion a year. We have to destroy a little bit of product. So what? I guess I understand it. Nobody wants a used burberry out there on the streets.

And, you know, Michael Coors doesn't want one of his purses out there that was returned because something was wrong with it. And now you have a, you know, a secondhand Michael Coors. Well, Amazon now. has unveiled plans to cut waste. After facing all that backlash of destroying thousands of items, in a blog post, the e-commerce giant said it has two programs that would help resell customer returns and overstock items

to give them, you know, a second life. The first program called FBA Grade and Resel will let third-party sellers on Amazon stock return items as used products for customers to then purchase. Oh, I can buy used stuff from Amazon now, and the price of the item will be based on the products condition. Program is starting in the UK, but is coming to the U.S. and other markets very soon.

Now, the second program called FBA Liquidations, also allows sellers to use Amazon to recover some of their inventory costs from their returned or overstocked goods, This program has already started in the U.S., Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. It will begin in the UK this month. So you're going to be able to purchase used products instead of, you know, knowing that Amazon destroys them and you could buy a new unused product from Amazon. Nope, you're going to be buying that secondhand crap too.

I guess it's okay. I get it. but is it up to Amazon to sell that? Could they just create a, well, they have. So good, you know, if you want something from you, there's a way for you to buy the used products from Amazon. Good for them. It's the Amazon thrift store.

And I love the idea. I'm a, you know, I love thrift stores and buying secondhand stuff. I, you know, I get it. But I don't know that, uh, that's going to work for Amazon. But it probably, you know, yeah, because their ideas have sucked so far, boy, haven't they? They don't know what they're doing. So according to an online survey commissioned by Breeze, that's an insurance company, they found that 65% of American workers who said their jobs could be done entirely remotely

were willing to take a pay cut of 5%, which could represent several years of annual raises, to stay at home. Wow. So they believe that people said in this survey were take a pay cut to stay home. Oh, okay, sure. So, I,

I guess companies are supposed to say, sure, go ahead, stay home, no problem. And I get it. Everybody wants to, you know, work from home. The online survey conducted by polefish for a reason. Of course, I mean, you love the online polling firm polefish. They used 1,000 people. And they said these 1,000 people were employed or looking for work at a job that can be completed entirely remotely. Most people said they wouldn't give up more than 5%, but 15% of the

respondents said they'd be willing to shave off 25% of their salary to be remote. No, no dear. Nearly half, 46% said they would give up a quarter of their days off, and 15% said they would give up all paid time off to be able to work from home. Well, I mean, you could do that by going to work for yourself, really. And 15% of your days off, does anyone get... I mean, you have to go out of your way to get a day off in today's world. At least I do. I mean, I'm always working.

I mean, you're always looking online and social media and the connection we have with the world with our phones and our laptops, they, we don't get many days off. I mean, you have to go out of your way and close down your electronic devices to be off from work.

At least in my world, you do. I know it's a, I know, don't look at me like that. I got it. Not everybody's doing a show, Jeff. Okay, not everybody's doing that. Not entertainment. Some of us just have to go to work

and do our jobs. I get it. Okay, I get it. They also found that more than half said they'd give up Netflix, social media, or Amazon for a year. No, they wouldn't. No, they wouldn't. I don't believe that. A third of the respondents even said they'd give up the right to vote in all future national and local elections.

Okay. Gen Z was most likely, 44% said they would give up their right to vote. while baby boomers were most opposed with only 27% saying they would give up their right to vote if they were able to work from home? What? No. No, no, no, no. Overwhelmingly, people wouldn't take a 25% pay cut. Yeah, no kidding. Nobody wants, I mean, 25% pay cut to just work from home? No, thank you. No. Have a nice day.

Plus, I get everybody wants to work from home, and you could do that. I mean, you can work for yourself, right? And what about a store front? Well, I mean, that's part of working for yourself. Or you could decide. I really think that more businesses are going to be doing the home and work. Maybe not 50-50, 30-70, something like that. Because you really do miss.

the face-to-face one-on-one interactions with coworkers and what needs to get done. And, you know, I know we can do it over online, face-to-go. We have FaceTime. We have Zoom. We have Skype. I know. I know. But it's just better when you have people in the same room working together, talking about the same thing, focusing on what needs to happen. It just is. It just is. And I don't know that these companies are willing to give that up.

You miss that human interaction and togetherness by having everybody just stay from home. And maybe that's what you care about. If it's going to make you more money, if people are willing to take a pay cut to work from home, go ahead. Work from home then. We'll pay you less. That's more money for the company.

So take care. Thanks for call. come in today? No. Sorry, no. You wanted to work from home and that's where you work from. I know, but I wanted to stop by. No. No, you can't come in. We don't want to see you. We'll let you know when our next Zoom meeting is, okay? But you're not allowed on the property. You work for us. Yes, sure. But you don't work here. You work from your home.

We know the metal count is still the United States in the lead with 91 as of this recording. And number two is China with 74 total. China's still in the lead with gold. Although we now have 29, China has 34, according to this chart. and that's, we're getting close.

All right, we're five down. We can pull back. We can make that happen. All right, I'm getting a little, it's coming to an end, though. We're getting close to the end of the Olympics, and I'm starting to get a little concerned over the whole thing, because we need to be,

I know that some people have put the nice spin on the whole. Think of it, China, with over a billion people, and we've got 300, and we're not even 400 million people, and yet we're winning. in medals and and and we're sure we're behind a little in golds but that's it well we need to be in front of the gold okay i don't care i don't want to hear that oh more than a billion people so we should be winning we're winning in the total metal count we're winning in the bronze we're winning in the silver we need to be winning in the gold period so let's hop to it olympians let's go

Now, I haven't really watched, well, any of the Olympics, but I see this year that they've got this big deal with the mixed gender events. And it's really, I guess I'm okay with it. I don't know. I'm not sure what to think of it yet. They're getting me okay with men competing with women. So does that mean I have to be okay?

with the trans athletes. So if I'm okay with the men and women, then I can be okay with the trans athletes because it really doesn't matter, right? Are we getting to the point now where it's not going to matter?

We're not going to have the separation between male and female. I don't know. I know we saw reports where the media were told to ignore the trans athletes on fair advantage. Okay. And then I know that we,

you know, it was big reports over the mixed gender relays in swimming and in archery and in track and field. So, you know, okay, all right, all right. I guess everybody likes it. It's fine. These, you know, these men and women teamed up in the new events. The IOC is pushed as an effort to increase gender equity. Well, that's good. Let's increase gender equity.

equity. And I also see where Carl Lewis, you know, one of the best runners of all time, tweeted out that the USA team, he wasn't too happy with the men's relay team. And so, he tweeted this. So, the USA team did everything wrong in the men's relay. The passing system is wrong. Athletes running the wrong legs. And it was clear that there was no leadership. It was a total embarrassment and completely unacceptable for a USA team to look worse than the AAU kids I saw. Wow. So, man, that does not, it doesn't vote too well for the Olympics, man.

Wow. And it's not good for, well, for the American Olympic teams. I see where people were just trashing the women's soccer for losing. And they did end up winning. They got the bronze, but they didn't get the gold. And of course, Canadians soccer team, the Canadians soccer team had their transgender athlete on it. And sorry, Megan, you weren't woke enough. Just take a knee.

So we'll see. All I care about, really, right now this year. We can, we'll talk about, you know, the mixed gender event. and the trans and how woke we are for the IOC. And what a beautiful thing that we all need to be a part of. And we need to have that gender equity. We'll get to that after these games have finished. But first and foremost, let's get the medal count above China in the golds.

Okay? We need to walk away from these Olympics, number one, period. Then we can talk about equity. Let's just be number one first. Then we'll talk about the whole equity thing. Okay? Okay, good. Get ready.

Get ready to have to make a decision. We talked a little earlier on the show about people willing to take a pay cut to work from home. You may have to take a pay cut. And that's a, you know, it's a good thought. If you are willing to take a pay cut to work from home, will you still have to be vaccinated? if you work for a company that mandates all employees get vaccinated. I don't know.

Maybe that's a way. Work from homers are the unvaxed. Oh, you work from home. You're one of those. Oh, okay. Because, I mean, we have all kinds of businesses now coming through with, and you know it was going to happen, especially when Biden and the administration said,

we're not going to mandate people being vaccinated. That's up to the private companies. And then, you know, that you know they're on the phone. Oh, hello. Yeah, this is a, well, a handler for Joe Biden. He's taking a nap right now. He's a little busy. I mean, he's on the phone with other world leaders.

We just want to be sure that you're going to go ahead and, you know, make sure your employees have to be vaccinated. So, okay, sure, all these big companies are coming along for the ride. and we see where they're going to make the military active duty troops, 100% mandatory to be vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine. Okay, I don't know that if you're in the military, you have a say anyway, right? I mean, maybe you do if you're the only way you get all the vaccines for everything is if you go overseas, if you travel.

So if you're in the military, active duty, and you're here in the States, you probably are able to say no in today's world, but you're not going to do it. Be able to say no anymore and still be in the military. Is that going to cause us to lose some good men and women? Probably. Probably I can see that happening, although, where are they going to go work?

What are they going to do? They're going to work from home, Jeff. Okay. All right, you're one of those then, huh? Yeah, yeah, I am. All right. And they want you vaccinated, quick and they want it done now.

Get vaccinated. And I know we talk about it a lot, but it's agonizing because you people, yeah, you unvaxed people, you people are the ones that are causing the problem. Okay? That's right. That's right.

And in America today, COVID until proven negative? Yeah. That's the deal right now. And really, it's, you know, vaccinated until, wait, no, that doesn't work. COVID until proven negative. I like that. And let's see if you're vaccinated. You are, let's see, vaccinated, unvaxed, dirty devil.

I don't know, we'll come up with something. But I like the COVID until proven negative. I heard my wife say that last night. And I mean, that's the way it is. Look, when I went into the hospital and they thought it was you're even close to having some sort of sickness that resembles COVID. You've got it, period, until they prove that you don't. I mean, it is COVID until proven negative.

And really, they don't even let you into the hospital unless they, you know, test for, you know, if you have a temperature, have you been close, have you breathed on anyone or been in around the air of anyone that had COVID? Well, yeah, pretty much. I mean, I live in America and I go out into public, so you've been around people that have had COVID. So you, you know, breathing the same air.

But so you're COVID until proven negative. And now, I mean, if you don't have the vaccine and if you believe that, you know, I'm okay with you getting the vaccine. And I'm okay with you not wearing a mask, with you, you know, not wearing a mask. But I, you know, if you're okay with people making their own choice, you hate America and want people to die. We've talked about that for sure. And that's the way it is. It's the way it is. You don't get a choice.

You don't get a choice. If you think that people should make their own decisions about whether they get the vaccine, about whether they wear a mask, about whether they, whatever they do, if you think they have a choice, no, you just want people to die. And if you're listening to this podcast and you're outside of the United States of America, Thank you. I appreciate it. Tell your friends and neighbors that they should be a subscriber to chewing the fat. Remember the rules, too.

If you're a subscriber, remember the rules. This is a rule worldwide, globally. It's not just the United States. If you're, no matter what you're listening to, if someone asked what are you listening to, you have to answer chewing the fat. That's a rule. It's part of being a subscriber to chewing the fat. you subscribe.

I expect you to listen to other things. Of course you're going to listen to other things. Other music, other podcasts, but you are a subscriber and a listener to chewing the fat. Thank you. But the rule is that when someone says, hey, what are you listening to? It doesn't matter what you're listening to.

Your answer has to be chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. And then, you know, that creates another person on the chewing the fat list. So it's just a rule. I just like to remind people of that rule. now and then. But if you're listening to this show in another country, just know that the Biden

administration is developing a plan that's going to require almost all foreign visitors to be vaccinated. So if you're in another country and you're thinking about coming here and you believe that there's a choice, oh man, sure you've got

a choice. Your choice is if you want to come here, you get vaccinated. Or you don't come here. That's going to be your choice. I don't think. I think they changed the illegal immigration rules to where they're going to ask. Isn't that special? Let's see. You break into the country and then you ask them nicely, hey, sure, so you're here illegally. Would you like the vaccine? Can I get you a vaccine? Or would you rather have a bagel with some cream cheese? Maybe both. Go this way. Go down this road. If you go down that road over there, nope, you're not going to get the vaccine. You're not going to get the bagel.

we'll give you a water and you can hop on a bus and we'll drop you off someplace in another state. But if you go this way, we're going to go ahead and get you the vaccine and a bagel. You choose. How about that? Welcome to the United States. Okay. All right. Thank you.

I also, I see where the CDC decided that they added 16 destinations. So if you're from the U.S. and want to go someplace, the CDC has, added 16 destinations to its very high COVID-19 risk level, and that included Greece, Ireland, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. So this is the risk designation of level four is very high. It means that people should avoid travel to these locations. Okay. I'm okay with that.

I see where the two, this is the strangest thing, two of the Democrats that left Texas, two Texas Democrats, that went to Washington, D.C., to protest voting rights, and they didn't want to do their job and vote here in Texas. Remember, they got on the bus, and they flew private to Washington, D.C., and I think only one is back now. Two came back, two came back, weren't arrested then, which I thought was hoping that Governor Abbott would do.

Governor Abbott would do, well, he said he would, but he did. and so two came back and one snuck out and went back to D.C. And so there's been an arrest warrant issued for that one. But two other Texas Democrats, so they don't want to vote and they care about voting rights so much here in Texas that they broke quorum and they went to D.C. And they are there promoting voting voting rights and they're not coming back until voting rights are for everybody,

and they aren't racist in the state of Texas. State Representative Julie Johnson and Jessica Gonzalez from Dallas, and Julie Johnson is from Farmers Branch. It's just a, you know, a city in the DFW area. They apparently had non-refundable tickets to go on vacation in Portugal, and that's where they are. So they were missing for a little while, And then somebody said, no, they're not missing.

They still show up on our Zoom meetings and everything. But they had non-refundable tickets to go to Portugal on a vacation. So they just went to Portugal. Oh, okay. No problem. I wonder if Portugal is on the list, the new level for COVID-19, very high risk designate. nation countries. Let's take a look, shall we? As of August 3rd, 2021, let's go down the list.

Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Maldives, the Netherlands, Panama, Portugal. Oh my gosh. Are we going to allow these two Democrats and their families back into the country after they had their non-refundable tickets? So they flew private, it didn't cost them a dime. They got on a bus that didn't cost them a dime. They got out of here to go to Washington, D.C. They're still getting paid for a job they're not doing technically in Texas, but they were worried about their non-refundable tickets to Portugal. And so they just left.

They just went to Portugal. Apparently they're still on the beach. They're on vacation, taking care of their Zoom calls and business back here in the United States. But just remember that Portugal is on the CDC's. high level four, very high risk designation. So be interesting to see how much testing and what happens to those people coming back from Portugal as opposed to if you and I were coming back from Portugal.

But, you know, whatever. They're fighting for voters' rights here in Texas. Right? Right. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com. slash podcasts.
