We know you love the thought of a vacation to Europe, but this time, why not look a little further? To Dubai, a city that everyone talks about and has absolutely everything you could want from a vacation destination. From world-class hotels, record-breaking skyscrapers, and epic desert adventures, to museums that showcase the future, not just the past. Choose from 14 flights per week between Canada and Dubai.

Book on emirates.ca. Today. Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Well, we've got more food being recalled. This time, frozen shrimp. I know. The eventy frozen foods is voluntarily expanding a prior recall back in June.

Now they're including certain consignments of various sizes of frozen, cooked, peeled, de-veined. with some packaging that had cocktail sauce in it. That's it, though. And it's just a possibility that they've been contaminated with salmonella. That's it. And they were distributed nationwide from November of 2020 until May of 2021. The recall expansion has been initiated out of an abundance of precaution and will cover a large amount of product that is,

not been associated with any illness, but been undertaken following discussions with the FDA and the CDC. Wait, there hasn't been anyone sick from it because later in the story, it talks about where there have been nine reports of salmonella-related illness to date associated with these cooked shrimp distributions. Huh, that's weird because they say it hasn't been a part of these products. Maybe it's just these particular products. You know, the Big River, frozen, cooked, peeled, and de vain tail off shrimps, the 365 frozen, cooked peeled and devane tail-stream, A-hold frozen, A-hold frozen, Sensa frozen, COS Frozen, they're all the Frozen brand, so the CWNL brand,

the first street brand, the nature's, promise, the Harbor Banks. Harbor Banks has got a lot of them. The HOS brands, the Meyer, Thrifty Acres, I guess they're not Thrifty Acres anymore, and the COS Frozen. Then we've got the Sea Cove, the sandbar, the waterfront, the Well, Wesley Farms,

the WFNO brands, the Hanifred brands, the Food Line brands. That's it, though. Just something to think about the next time you open up that bag of frozen shrimp that's in the freezer. Those product codes are out there, so I would, you know, be careful. Of course, they're telling you that if you have purchased any of the products listed in the recall, to not consume them and return them to the place of purchase.

So good luck and enjoy that frozen shrimp. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. As long as we're talking about food, we might as well stick to it. Right? I mean, there's plenty of stories around food with prices rising shortages happening. So we can start with, I don't know, maybe the SNAP program, you know, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. Well, it's expanding their food assistance.

Average benefits are going to see over 25% boost. above the pre-pandemic levels. It's the largest single increase in the program's history. It'll start in October and impact about 42 million people. Yeah, about one in eight Americans currently are using the program. The average monthly benefit per person was $121 before the pandemic and will increase to $157. While the change may seem, you know, a little small,

these supporters say the bump could reduce hunger and improve health and nutrition for many families. It's only going to cost about $20 billion more a year. That's it, though. Now, according to leading industry sources, grocery stores across the United States are worried about food shortages, so they're worried about groceries hoarding because of disruptions that are pushing America's food supply near its breaking point. Wait, what? Yeah. McDonald's, Starbucks, Popeyes are all taking extra precautions to avoid shortages amid supply chain disruptions and increased sales. So there, at least, you know, people are out there buying a McDonald's says it's keeping an eye on tight supply of straws

and paper bags, drive-thru and takeout orders have increased over the past year. Duh, I wonder why. Fast food supply chains are under added pressure with the sales up. So, you know, they're tightening the supplies with the straws and the paper bags. And they told franchises, McDonald's, that is, to limit orders of bags and straws. So if you want a bag at McDonald's, I wonder if you get a cheaper deal. If you just bring your own, hey, I brought my own bag. Can I have a, you know, do I get a deal? That's kind of cool.

I kind of like that, actually, if that's, if that's, if that's, That's true. Popeyes has taken precautions to avoid shortages ahead of the chicken nugget launch. Well, okay. The chain spent six months stockpiling frozen chicken to meet demand. Okay, well, I kind of like that. According to this story now, Chippole, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, and Popeyes aren't experiencing straw and bag shortages right now. Oh, really? Yeah.

There are some shortages due to national transportation delays, you know, like shortages of vegetables and guacamole, steak, rice, and, you know, even the tortillas are running a little low. And at Taco Bell, the taco shells, chicken beef are running a little low. That's all, though. I know. I know. and we have coffee prices climbing through the roof because of frost and freight costs. So the most devastating frost in decades in some of the top coffee producing countries like Brazil and record freight costs have sparked shipping log jams and expected retail prices are going to go through the roof.

So that's good news. That's really good news on coffee if you're a coffee drinker. And I mean, if you go to Starbucks, you're already spending quite a bit on that coffee that you're ordering, on that latte that you're getting through the drive-through. So sure, those prices are definitely going to go through the roof. You can count on that. Tyson Foods raises its prices already. And they say they're scrambling to keep up with. inflation. Huh. Really? Yeah. They've seen increased prices for chicken and prepared foods.

They're trying to, you know, keep those prices going. And they're saying they can't increase the prices fast enough. Okay. Because of the rising cost of raw materials, they are saying, those materials are charging us more money. The demand is through the roof. So we're just charging you more money. Really? That's how it works. You mean, companies, they have their products that they sell to people and because it costs them more, you know, for the people working there and the products, they charge the customer more? Huh, it's weird. I didn't realize that's how it worked. And I mentioned wheat supplies. Yeah, they're shrinking as well. So your bread prices are going to be headed through the roof as well. Good times. Good times right now. And we've had reports of

alcohol shortages. Well, beer to be specific in Ohio, North Carolina, Vermont and many other states now. They're blaming that on supply train shortages, you know, related to the pandemic. Oh, okay. So if you're struggling to find your favorite beer on the shelf, that's why. And don't worry. won't affect the prices. Well, it will affect the prices, but they'll just going to pass it on to you. And the one thing that all these products have in common, water. Well, the first ever federal water shortage has been declared for Lake Meade. Huh, really? Remember we talked not long ago about Lake Mead and almost Deadpool? Well, for the first time since its construction in the 1930s, The federal government has formerly declared a water shortage at Lake Mead.

It's the nation's largest reservoir by volume on the Colorado River. I mean, okay, sure, no problem. Now, the Bureau of Reclamation, states, tribes, and water users have been planning for drought conditions to become more severe. And apparently have created contingency plans on who would have their water allowance reduced first in addition to helping farmers and other water users voluntarily reduce water use. Okay. Now, the water level of Lake Mead has been on the decline since 1999, hotter temperatures, so a series of agreements governs water use from the river as well as cuts to be implemented

when the water levels dip below a certain threshold. I mean, we're almost there right now. If you look at what's Deadpool for them, if the lake loses another 175 feet, it's no longer going to put water through the Hoover Dam. Okay. So, I mean, that is Deadpool and cuts off everyone downstream. That is, you can quote me on this, not good. Not good at all.

I mean, why we don't start this now? don't know, but they're not starting it really until the first of the year. So they talked about the first round of cuts going to have the greatest impact on Arizona farmers. They're going to lose 18% of its share from the river. And that translates to about 8% of the state's total water use. Okay, farmers in Arizona are likely to experience the brunt of the water cuts. All right.

Under the water allocation cuts, Nevada will lose about 7% of its allocation. okay Mexico will see a reduction of roughly 5% or 80,000 acres of foot. You know what? I would say, just me off the top of my head, how about we tell Mexico, we won't cut your water off if you stop sending people across the border. But that's just me. It's just me because that's not going to happen in today's world, I guarantee you. So according to the Bureau of Reclamation, the Upper Colorado Rural,

River Basin experienced an exceptionally dry spring, really, with April to July runoff into Lake Powell totaling just 26% of the average, despite average snowfall last winter. So not real sure what the issue is there. So it's clear, according to this, that the pace of climate change in the Colorado River Basin poses a huge threat to water supplies on which everything

depends. Yeah, no kidding. I mean, the Colorado River is the lifeblood of a lot of places, a lot of people, a lot of companies, and a lot of food. So that's a big problem. So

that'll just affect some of the food prices around America. And so just good things are coming. Good things are coming. You can quote me on that as well. Good things are coming. Oh, man.

Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink while we still can. Oh, that's good. No, I mean it, it's good. I mean, even with the, you know, prices kind of going through the roof and shortages on some products, at least some of the fast food places are trying to, you know, re-imagine themselves. I see where Taco Bell has put out their new design for their latest drive-through concept, which features like it's got an elevated kitchen and what they call a gravity-defying food delivery system.

It's like a cross between a bank and a toll road. And so you do your order online or I'm guessing online. I guess maybe you could order back a ways, but then you pull up to lane one, two, or three, depending on how big the Taco Bell is, and they drop you your food. I don't know. The restaurant is up above.

I'm unsure if you can actually go up into the Taco Bell or if it's just completely a drive-through because it looks more like a complete drive-thru. It opens up, you know, the opportunity for new gigs. I mean, if a car breaks down, who are you going to get to tow out? Maybe you sign a deal with Taco Bell for your tow service. The car breaks down.

We're towing you out of there right now to keep the traffic going. Let's go. Just an idea, just a thought. Maybe you're, you know, the on-staffed Taco Bell mechanic, help people, you know, take care of their cars in the drive-through, so you keep the traffic going. And I see where Wendy's has, we talked a while ago about McDonald's pulling out of the underperforming Walmarts.

Well, Wendy's is taking that job over and they're saying, well, we're going to move in. Now, they've called it their little snack shops. It's their little hamburger stand kind of concept. And they have one open in Ohio already. And what's kind of special about it is they're selling products that you can't get at the regular Wendy's. Like this particular snack shop has strawberry frosties and a new jalapeno chicken nugget. I'm not sure I would like that, though.

But the strawberry frosty sounds kind of good, although I'm just a chocolate frosty kind of guy. But, you know, I try it. Sure, why not? Go ahead. What am I going to say no to a frosty? No, that's not going to happen. This is chewing the fat. Okay?

I'm not going to say no to a frosty. Did I mention that, have I talked about my YouTube channel lately? You should subscribe to it. Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher, a YouTube channel? You might as well subscribe to it. You're already listening to this show, which means you're a subscriber. You should go ahead and subscribe to the YouTube channel.

It costs as much as it cost to subscribe to this show. I know. So it's a deal. And you might as well follow me on social media as well. At Jeffrey JFR on Twitter, Jeff Fisher Radio, on Instagram and Facebook. And you might as well come along for the ride on parlor,

although I haven't been on there in a while. And I don't know that it technically exists anymore. But it is. I mean, I went on to the website and posted something a little bit ago. And it's there. I just don't know that it's worth it being there anymore. And, you know, speaking to that, I see where the chat app,

Yik Yik, has returned. It's back in the App Store. What? You don't remember Yik Yikak? It's the anonymous chat app that, went away a few years ago. Yeah, I know. In 2014, one year after the original version launched,

Yick, Yick, exploded, and they loved it. But apparently things went all awry. When people started bullying and harassing other people, and there were bomb threats, and so it shut down in 2017. Originally it was worth like $400 million bucks. People were loving it, this anonymous yick-yacking that was going on.

So now it's back up and it's saying, hey, we're trying to clean up the toxicity and it's one strike, no bullying policy, and we're providing links to mental health resources and though we're good to go. Oh, okay. We'll see. We'll see how the old yik-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y.

breaks through. If you start hearing about yik yak on TikTok, then you know, it's going to take off. Because TikTok, man, TikTok is where it's at. And I don't necessarily agree with the whole TikTokan because of the Chinese underlings that are going on with it.

And we've been through that on this show as well. I don't need to, you know, tear into TikTok again. But I see where. where people now are, I saw a story that talked about how TikTok cleaning dishwall washer filters. A great story about these TikTokers who are posting,

posting themselves cleaning the dishwasher filters. And I don't know if you ever seen a dishwasher filter, but they are not, well, they're filters. And they clean out gunk. And it is nasty looking. I don't want to do it. I don't want to pull the filter out.

I will be TikTok pukin on my TikTok post, although I don't have a TikTok page. Maybe I should fire one up. But I love how the idea is that we're just posting nasty dishwasher filter posts. I love the Internet. That's what makes the Internet great right there. You're able to just have everybody post cleaning their dishwasher filters. And I see now on TikTok, they've got the mask vigilante going on.

And they are looking for you nasty people on TikTok that are cyber bullies. And if the great Lundini, who's the masked vigilante, decides that you are a bully, we're going to find out who your real identity is in seven to eight clicks. That's his deal. He says that, yeah, I can find someone's real identity, or at least the group can, within eight clicks. Okay. Now TikTok has suspended and deleted the group's accounts.

But if they're really, you know, masked vigilantes and they want us to be proud of the great Lundini, aren't they going to come back as another account and break through the TikTok wall? I think so. I think so. So if you're a cyber bully, watch out the great Lundini could be on you at any time. At Desjardin, we speak business. We speak startup funding and comprehensive game plans.

In 1965,

holy cow. Come on now. So the New York Childs Victim Act, which passed in 2019, opened up a window for people who claimed they were sexually abused as children to file lawsuits against their alleged abusers. And we've seen that happen.

in the past few years since that happened in the past couple of years. Well, the look-back window in the law closed this past Saturday. That's when the law expired. Now, this lawsuit filed against Bob Dylan was filed on Friday. Oh, okay. Yeah. In 1965, he's being accused of sexually abusing. a 12-year-old girl.

Okay. Apparently, according to documents, the alleged abuse occurred multiple times over a six-week period between April and May of 1965, with some incidents occurring at his Chelsea Hotel apartment in New York.

It claims that Dylan exploited his status as a musician to illegally provide drugs and alcohol to an underage girl. Huh. Okay. I will say, just from all of this, it makes sense that a spokesperson for Dylan said that this 56-year-old claim is untrue and will be vigorously defended.

Yeah? Yeah? Well, according to this, Dylan's predatory, sexual, and unlawful acts against the plaintiff amounted to a series of harmful and offensive contacts to plaintiff's person, all of which were done intentionally by him to her without her consent. Well, I mean, if it happened, that makes sense that that actually happened. And as a result of this alleged abuse, 56 years ago, the plaintiff has sustained physical and psychological injuries, including severe emotional and psychological distress, humiliation, fright, disassociation, anger, depression, anxiety, personal turmoil, and loss of faith.

a severe shock to her nervous system, physical pain and mental anguish, and emotional and psychological damage. Huh. Wow. It's been a long 56 years for this plaintiff. I will say that. Now, the plaintiff is identified only as J.C.

In the court documents. But I will say that, And you can quote me on this. It sounds untrue. Now, I know that Dylan is 80 now. Could it have happened? I guess. Maybe.

I guess. If it did, okay, he's a dirtbag. But it was, this is the only time I'm aware of that something like this has been claimed. against Bob Dylan. And, you know, it happened in 1965. You couldn't say something prior to now. It's taken 56 years and up into the last day of the Child Victims Act law being open.

That's what it took. It took 56 years and up and up. until the last day of the Child's Victim Act. She finally couldn't take it anymore. She just couldn't take it anymore. So she decided that we are going to file this lawsuit against Bob Dylan 56 years ago is when it happened. Now, you know, has she been suffering all these 56 years? I mean, I guess it's possible that she's been.

suffering? I don't know that she's sustained physical and psychological injuries, including severe emotional and psychological distress, humiliation, fright, disassociation, anger, depression, anxiety, personal turmoil and loss of faith, a severe shock to her

nervous system, physical pain and mental anguish, and emotional and psychological damage. I don't know that it's been all of that, but maybe all of it is wrapped up into the 56 year time span, I guess. I mean, Dylan's been married a couple times.

He's got like six kids. He's, what is he worth? Maybe, maybe four or five hundred million, something like that. He just made a deal not long ago selling a bunch of his stuff that was reportedly three or four hundred million. So he's worth at least that. So maybe this lady, you know, wants to have Dylan write or a check for a few million to make her go away.

But if it's, I would say. They know. No way. No way. And his lawyer said, or his spokesperson said that they will fight it vigorously and denied all of the allegations. And I don't recall anything like this coming up against Dylan over the years. Maybe it's been hush, hush. Maybe we're going to start, you know, this opens the floodgates to, you know,

Bob did this to me too and paid me off. We'll see. but I find it hard to believe that nothing like this, that I recall, has come out against Bob Dylan in all these years, and now we're to believe that this one lady who was then 12 in 1965 had this happen over a six-week period. And nothing else, nothing else, if you're kind of that dirt bag, don't you continue to be that kind of dirt bag? I mean, looking back on experience,

normally, if you're that kind of dirt bag, you continue on down that dirt bag road, don't you? And if he was or has been that kind of dirt bag, during the whole Me Too movement and especially the last couple years of this New York backdoor, we can bust you law, that you'd think that people would have come out, right? I mean, that's what happened to Bill Cosby.

That's what happened to Harvey Weinstein. I mean, people came out of the woodwork. So maybe, you know, if people start coming out of the woodwork against Bob Dylan, then we'll, you know, we'll say, wow, how did this guy become this big a dirt bag for all these years and nobody knew? I just find it hard to believe. It's just me.

I just find it hard to believe that something like this has been kept a secret against Bob Dylan if he was actually this kind of dirt bag. Maybe it's just me. 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. It's just $39.99. How could I resist? This luxurious wool 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. All right, we still have all kinds of news coming out of Afghanistan

and whether they predicted that it would fall this fast, which they obviously did. did not, at least this administration did not. And, you know, seeing all the pictures out of there, you'd almost think that that's what an actual insurrection looks like. You know, again, maybe it's just me. But I see where the Afghan president, Ghani, you know, he left.

I mean, he just fled the country. And we're not real sure where he's at right now. But we do know, according to this story, that he left the presidential palace in Kuzzi. on Sunday as the Taliban fighters were toppling the government and the city. And he said to avoid bloodshed, I thought it would be better to leave. Oh, okay. No problem.

Now, he is a former World Bank academic. He holds a doctorate from New York City's Columbia University. And he didn't say where he was going, where he was going. But as the collapse was happening, according to this, story, he left with four cars full of money and tried to stuff another part of the money into a helicopter, and it all wouldn't fit, so he left some of the money lying on the tarmac. That's what's being reported. I don't know if it's true or not, but I mean, I guess he can't be expected to leave without any

money. So at least he'll have a little bit of cash with him wherever he's. he lands. Maybe he lands in the U.S. I see where Osama bin Laden's family still has a Bel Air estate that's been abandoned since 9-11. That just went up for sale for $28 million. And it's a nice little shack in Bel Air. It's 7,100 square feet. It's got a couple acres of land, seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and it's only 28 million on selling Bel Air. Maybe, maybe the former president or I guess he's still the president, maybe not of Afghanistan. Maybe he, you know, moves in there.

It was built in 1931 and it's ready to move in. It probably needs a little bit of work since it's been abandoned for 20 years, but, you know, who knows? Maybe he'll move in there. And I see good news from the Taliban, the leader that was telling everyone he's the leader and he's, you know, we're taking over Afghanistan. Yeah, he was released from Guantanamo Bay in 2014. Yeah. Remember the deal that Obama had where he released five Taliban commanders from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for the American deserter in 2000?

2014? Yeah. He's now back in charge of the Taliban in Afghanistan. So there's that. I don't know. Does it matter? Probably not. Probably doesn't matter at all. And to this administration, of course not. I see where they're making a big deal out of President Biden calling the Dallas ISD superintendent this past weekend when he wasn't speaking to the American public. at all about what was happening in Afghanistan. He called, according to the superintendent, he got a call from President Biden as a voicemail, telling him that he was proud of us, Dallas ISD, for making this opportunity available to our students. He thanked me for having the courage to stand up for our students and our community. Okay. Has anyone heard the... voicemail. I keep hearing reports. Now, I'm not doubting. Well, yes, I am. But I'm not, I guess the president

called him and left a voicemail, but I've not heard the voicemail. So is it true? I guess it could be true. It makes sense that it could be true, but I haven't heard the voicemail. So I hear all kinds of news reports saying that there was a voicemail. I hear all kinds of news reports. What a great thing. it was that the president called and he's backing up the Dallas ISD, but I haven't heard the voicemail. So I would just like to hear the actual voicemail of our president of the United States of America calling the head of the Dallas ISD, telling him how proud he was of this Dallas independent school district for enforcing the mask mandate. I'd just like to hear it.

I would just like to hear it. And speaking of insurrections, I see where two Seattle police officers who were at the Capitol on 1-6 the day democracy almost died, they've been fired. Yeah, they were there and they claim that they didn't. take part in any of it, but they were there. And they say they were 30 to 50 yards away from the Capitol building and never saw any signs of disturbance. And there's no information that says they're under criminal investigation by the federal

authorities for their actions, but they admitted they were there. And there was a post of them being there. but and there were four other officers who actually admitted that they were there as well. Now, these people are the first officers, the two officers, the Everett's, who are married, that have been named and that have now been fired from the Seattle Police Department for being there. Oh, okay. Now, according to Seattle, the Seattle's Office of Police Accountability found that the Everett's, the couple violated the law by trespassing at the U.S. Capitol while rioters stormed the building.

Hmm. Okay. According to the police discipline report, they also lied about their activities, and they claimed they didn't see any disturbance, but FBI photographs showed them directly next to the Capitol building at about 2.30 p.m., which was 30 minutes after the demonstration had been declared a riot. Okay. The officers told investigators they had no idea. that the event had turned violent. But nearby and within your line of vision, numerous people were scaling a stone wall to the Capitol steps,

climbing the scaffolding, and crowds were surrounding the building. So according to the police department, their presence there was unacceptable. Okay? All right. If you say so, and they, yeah, they've been fired.

All right. They're both from Texas originally. They were married. They were working for the Dallas Police Department and the Round Rock Police Department. They've been there. They moved to Seattle once they got married, I guess. And now they're looking for a job again because they were there at the Capitol on 1-6 the day democracy almost died. Get no frills delivered.

So we talked yesterday about the coming booster shots, and I see where Pfizer has told the FDA that the booster shot elicits strong immune response to the Delta variant. So people who received a third dose of the Pfizer-Biointech coronavirus vaccine

elicited stronger immune response to the Delta variant compared to those who only completed the two dose regime. Huh. Well, now we find out that we're going to be advised that boosters for most Americans eight months after vaccination are good to go. And that's what needs to happen. Oh, okay. So most Americans should get a coronavirus booster vaccination eight months after they received their second shot and could begin offering third shots as early as mid-September, according to administration officials familiar with the discussions. Their goal is to let Americans who receive the Pfizer-Biointech or Moderna vaccines

know how they will need additional protection against the Delta variant. Okay, so the booster shots are coming. Now, is that, and they say eight months, you know, So I feel like that's going to be less time. Like they're saying that your immune process drops down past a certain point after eight months. So you're going to need to stay on top of that. So let's get you that third booster shot about four to six months after your second shot. And then, you know what?

Let's go ahead and just give you that booster shot once a year. And, you know, once every nine months or so just to keep you going and keep you safe. Okay? Yeah, let's do that. Okay? Can we do that? Sure. We absolutely can.

And I still haven't read anywhere, and I'm going to have to dig in and see if I can actually find out what it is. But I want to know what the third, what that booster shot is. Okay, so is it the first shot of the Pfizer or the second shot of the Pfizer or Moderna? And I haven't had anyone.

Maybe is it a kind of? combination of both? I don't know. I don't know. I just would like to, I would like to find out. And just as a side note, sure, you're going to need that booster,

that third little shot for the Delta variant. The Lambda COVID-19 variant? Yeah, we're seeing where that really, um, you know what? It may be vaccine resistant to the vaccines we have now. Now it hasn't been peer reviewed. So we'll just go.

with it's just a theory right now. So I would say that, you know, the Lambda variant, it's the mutation that was identified in Peru and it's popping up around the world. And I would just guess that perhaps you need to get another shot, another booster shot to cover the Lambda variant as well. So you're going to get that third booster shot of the Moderna or Pfizer to cover the original COVID-19 and the Delta variants and then you're going to have to go

ahead and get another shot for the Lambda variant and what other other variants pop up. So you might as well just plan on getting vaccines once a month from now to the end of time. I looked at a headline

the other day that talked about how what will it take to get back to normal? I don't think that if you I don't think that's going to happen if you think that we're going to get back to the America before the 15 days to slow the spread that is funny because that's not going to happen there's not going there's no more pre pandemic normal life I mean it's going to be life pre-pandemic and life post-pandemic. We're not going back. Look at what's going on around you.

We're not going back. And I know it's sad but true. I want to go back too. You know, what would we do to get back the days of pre-pandemic days of mean tweets from Donald Trump? And I know. I know. but it's not going to happen.

I mean, we've already reached the 70% vaccination rate here in the U.S., right? Americans are still, I think we're above the 70% marked total population vaccination rate. So we were told, hey, get to that 70% vaccination rate, and then we'll be good. Right, because the science continues to change. So those days, the pre-pandemic days, they ain't coming back, my friends. Not going to happen. Not going to happen.

It just isn't. All right. I'm just going to leave it there. It just isn't. I love the story of the Tennessee vaccine official. So good. Now, she was fired a while ago because she was released something about kids

and vaccines and they got all pissed at her in Tennessee, so she got the boot. And she claimed that she was fired without cause. And now she claimed that people sent a dog muzzle to her to shut her up. She said, someone mailed it to me in an attempt to intimidate me. Well, we've investigated that. And she has denied sending the muzzle to herself. That's not really true, though.

Because after the investigation, they found that she did mail it to herself. Huh. Really weird. I don't know what you hope to gain from mailing a dog muzzle to yourself and then go on CNN and say, people want to shut me up. They're sending me a dog muzzle. Okay. So it came through Amazon.

So apparently they investigated. gated and they found that it was sent to her through an Amazon account and charged with the same American Express credit card that she used on another account. So it was her or her husband. Now, I will go off on that because she claimed that, you know, she was fired for trying to do her job and she was sent this muzzle to try to shut her up. Maybe hubby wanted her to shut up and sent her the muddog muzzle himself. Maybe we'll find that out.

I don't know. I don't know. But I love the idea that she was claiming up and down that people were sending her a dog muzzle to shut her up. And, yeah, she had sent it to herself. But now that I think about it, maybe it was the husband. That, I believe. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
