Starting point is 00:01:09 with underlying charges that include the sexual exploitation of children, kidnapping, and sex trafficking women and girls. He's pleaded not guilty, of course, to all charges. And the previous trial in 2008 for state child pornography charges, in Illinois, he was acquitted. So opening arguments are today, this trial is only expected to last six to eight weeks. Wow.
Starting point is 00:01:41 So it's got 12 anonymous jurors, seven men, five women, six alternates were selected last week.

Starting point is 00:05:55 has finally, finally, rescinded an 1864 proclamation. And I mean, it's good that he did this. Okay, so the 1864 proclamation instructed residents of the state to kill hostile Native Americans in the area. Was that happening? Was that actually going on in Colorado? Was that an issue?
Starting point is 00:06:24 People were going around and saying, I had to kill that one. He was hostile. It's what the 1864 proclamation says, I had to do. I mean, okay. Let's, you know, all right, fine.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Whatever. I guess that the second governor of Colorado issued the policy, warning that all hostile Indians would be pursued and destroyed if they opted not to travel to a number of government-controlled forts.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Now, we know that was an issue then, but it's not an issue now. Okay, so they're gathered last, I think it was yesterday. I don't know that it was going to say last week, but I think it was this week. They gathered together, and the governor said, we're here on a very somber, but also in some ways, celebratory day. were finally addressing a wrong of the past. Now, he was flanked by Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Ute tribal leaders. He explained that the ordinance, despite being illegal, was never undone.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Okay. The Cheyenne and the Arapaho, I can't say the Arapapo, the Arapopo's, Department of Education, were lauded the Democratic governor's decision. Now, some Colorado natives have expressed that this threat of death will be removed and they can feel free from the burden of the Evans Proclamation. Is it really a burden? I mean, were you living your life every day concerned? Were you?
Starting point is 00:08:14 Were you? Well, thank the good Lord above. and governor, whatever his name is from Colorado, Polis. Thank him and the Lord that you don't have to be worried anymore about a proclamation from 1864.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Okay? All right, good. Be ready for the world to be all over booster shots today because the COVID convention is taking place Washington, D.C. today at the White House, and they're going to announce that most Americans should get a booster eight months after they get the second shot, which I talked about already
Starting point is 00:09:02 on this show multiple times. But it's actually going to happen today. So we're going to make sure that we see, all I've seen on every freaking news channel is the booster shots. I got it, okay? We're all we already know. And by the way, just a reminder for those who are, you that are concerned that I'm telling you right now, within two months from now, they're going to come back and tell you that eight months is too long. And they're going to say, yeah, because we want to stay out in front of it, you're going to need to get it about four months. They're going to cut that in half four to six months to get that booster shot.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Guaranteed. And now they're asking the same questions that I was asking. already. About what? I'm so pissed. All I hear from people and I'm watching the news and I hear all these people,
Starting point is 00:10:00 did you hear about the booster shots? You hear about the boosters shots? You know what? You as a subscriber to this show when someone says, did you hear about the boosters shots? You could say, why yes. Yes, I did.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Because chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher has been on the cutting edge of this and he's informed to me about it. That's what makes. the show that much better than all the other shows. You can tell your friends that, okay? Are we good? Can I take a little bit right?
Starting point is 00:10:27 Can I go away from the booster shots? And by the way, when did Jill? I see Jill hobbling back to the White House from her vacation. So now does Joe still have his boot on from when he tripped and fell chasing the dog? Chasing the dog out of the shower? Uh-huh. So he had his boot on for a while. Now Jill just had foot surgery.
Starting point is 00:10:50 What the hell is going on with the Biden feet? Is that a genealogy thing? Or I don't know. I'm just asking. I don't know. I haven't seen a report of what was wrong with Jill's foot. Was it, you know, she had gigantic corns. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I'm asking. Was it because of the heels she had to wear for years? I thought she was a runner. They made her out to be this world-renowned runner before as the campaign was going on. Oh, Grandma always goes out for a run. And I mean, I just want to know what was wrong with her feet. I want to know what was wrong with Jill's feet. Because now she's hobbling around with her cast on and her crutch.
Starting point is 00:11:31 And she's only got the one crutch. And it's on the opposite side of the wound or the surgery. So maybe she uses two crutches or maybe I guess in today's world, they probably wanted to put weight right on that thing. Let's get you back up and walking right now. so it doesn't lock up. Let's get you into rehab and get you walk. I mean, that's what they did after my knee replacement surgery, too.
Starting point is 00:11:56 They want you up, man. They get up and moving. Let's go. Let's get it going. We've got to keep it going. And apparently, if I remember right, and this may have changed now because I haven't had I'm due for another knee replacement surgery any day now, that the first six months post-surgery, that's the movement you get.
Starting point is 00:12:19 So you want to be full rehabbed in that first six months because after that, if you don't have whatever your movement is, that's where you're at. Okay. I mean, I got you. So if I don't do any rehab, then I'm just stuck right here, right? Okay. No problem.
Starting point is 00:12:39 You want to hand me that lighter over there because I need to fire up this bowl and smoke a cigarette. I mean, cigarette, cigarette. That's what I need to do is fire up a cigarette. Cigarette, yeah. Hit me a light, would you? Oh, man. But I wish this was true. I wish that was true.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Well, as long as I'm buzzed, we might as well go to the break room and get something to drink and see if there's something to snack on too. Oh, yeah. So you ever see a headline? We've talked about it. I think we have talked about it before, where you see a headline and it actually catches your eye and then you realize, oh, so what? So I see a headline this morning. Alcohol-related deaths increased by 17% during the pandemic. And then I'm like, holy cow.
Starting point is 00:13:56 And then it says it was, this is in Scotland. I don't care. I don't care. So I moved on. I'm not going to open the story now. I mean, I just said, Scotland. Why do I care about Scotland? Another headline that I saw that I actually opened up because I was almost ready to say,
Starting point is 00:14:16 Yeah, I don't care. But Megan Rapino or Rapino or whatever the hell her name is, you know, the soccer player. The headline is, Mike Call it quits. And I'm thinking, you know, let me know when she does. Otherwise, what do I care? But then I went, all right, I'll find out, you know. And it just talks about her whether she's going to quit or not. And she's deciding.
Starting point is 00:14:42 She's going to look into it because, you know, she just doesn't know yet. She's been thinking a lot about it and she's not really sure. She says, they always say, do they? They always say, you'll know when you know. Can I quote you on that, Meg? You'll know when you know, but it's not really like that because you could kind of keep going. And it's like, oh, yeah, you've accomplished so much.
Starting point is 00:15:12 You'll be fine stepping away. but the conversation is always anguish in your mind or people just don't think about it and I've been thinking about it a lot I'm already done with Megan I don't want to hear any more from her I don't care you know what I think it's time for her to retire she's like 36 now she's getting a little
Starting point is 00:15:30 long on the tooth out there on the old soccer field at 36 so you know just disappointed and it couldn't have anything to do with the news that came out earlier this week from Hope Solo, the former player that played with her
Starting point is 00:15:54 saying that Megan would bully other players into kneeling onto the sideline. And so now Megan's getting a little bad press and feeling a little bit of the heat to be in the bully. And now that she's missed, you know, fashion world and has to try to sell her wares
Starting point is 00:16:13 out there in the free market. How's that talk show on HBO going, by the way? Oh, that's right. They canceled that already after the one episode or the one series. Horrible. She's looking for, you know, she needs a gig. So unless somebody comes along and says,
Starting point is 00:16:28 hey, Meg, how about you, I guess she could do the announcing for the soccer, right? For the Olympics and the World Cups and everything for the women. She could do maybe a color. She's got a big enough name for that. that. Just quit. Go away. I don't even want to see or do that. I wanted to go back to the hubby or the wife or whatever they call each other in the northeast. They live in Seattle.
Starting point is 00:16:55 I think that's where they live. And yeah, I'm pretty sure they live there. Yeah. You know, in the northwest, northeast, northwest. Somewhere in the United States, that's where they live. Don't start bogging me down with actual places, okay? I said Seattle, you know what I meant, leave me alone. Look, you'll know when you know. I see where Carrie Underwood is under fire. And she's under fire for something that is a today's world problem. She liked a tweet from someone that people on the left don't like Matt Walsh.
Starting point is 00:17:41 she liked a Matt Walsh tweet how dare you I mean seriously unbelievable it was about the mask mandates in Nashville and she liked his tweet oh my gosh now some of the people against Matt
Starting point is 00:18:08 and now Carrie. It's not just that Carrie Underwood liked an anti-mask tweet. It's that Carrie Underwood liked an anti-mask tweet from Matt Walsh.
Starting point is 00:18:24 One of the most negligently historic voices on the topic of protecting kids from COVID. Yeah, because Matt just wants everybody to die. He wants his kids. He wants the wife. He wants everybody just to drop
Starting point is 00:18:40 over dead from COVID. Author and progressive pastor, John Pavolitz. Pavolitz? Pavolvitz? John, I don't go to John's church. I'm not sure. He likes to be called Pastor P. or Pastor Pavillich.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Took a shot at the Jesus Take the Wheel Singer saying, Carrie Underwood, being a God over science person, is the least surprising thing I've heard today. Delta take the wheel. Give me a break. And one of the other reality stars, Andy Heron from Big Brother.
Starting point is 00:19:22 I haven't seen the latest episode of Big Brother, so I may have missed Andy. But she said, Kelly Clarkson has always been our best American Idol winner and will always be our best American Idol winner. F. Carrie Underwood. Now, first of all, I don't necessarily disagree with that sentiment. However, Kelly being the best. I mean, I like some of Kelly stuff, no question. And I like some of Kerry's stuff, too.
Starting point is 00:19:57 But I don't know if I think Kerry is probably been more successful than Kelly. In the music industry. Now, Kelly's, you know, big TV talk show star now, making all kinds of cash. And we've talked about her divorce and what's happening there and the money that she's making. And she's getting ready to sign a new deal, huge new deal for that talk show, man. She's going to be raking in some cash. That's why she's dumping hubby right now. Blackstone's getting rid of him, giving him.
Starting point is 00:20:27 He's getting like $195,000 some thousand dollars a month. I don't know if he's going to be able to get by on that. But part of that deal was is that he was going to, not get money from her for the ranch in Montana. Kelly does not like that ranch in Montana. That's something that he wanted, and she's been against that from the beginning of this divorce, man. She said she wouldn't pay for it.
Starting point is 00:20:55 And according to the reports, if I remember, right, it was like $80-some thousand dollars a month to keep the ranch running. Okay, so, and Kelly was adamant, adamant that she was not going to pay for the ranch. So she's going to pay like 150,000 in some kind of support a month and then another 40-something for the kids' education and stuff. So, I mean, he still could pay for the ranch out of that. It's just not specifically earmarked for the ranch.
Starting point is 00:21:25 But I see now where Kelly is saying, I'm going to sell the ranch. I'm dumping that place. You like it? I didn't want it to begin with. We're selling it. Get rid of it. Divorce is a beautiful thing.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Just ask Melinda Gates. I mean, their divorce just got fine. We talked about that. I see where the daughter was posting a happy birthday to her mom this past weekend. And my mom is a hero. I found it fascinating. And that's fine. And she's taking a picture with your dad.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And divorce sucks for all people involved, including the children. So even though they're adults now. Now, you know, they're still their mom and dad. So, I mean, you've got to try to give as much love to each one as you can when you're out with them. But I see where they talked about what Melinda is getting. Now, we talked about Bill already transferring. I think it was around $5 billion, something like that that Melinda's already got in movie. I mean, you better be getting a little bit more than that.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Bill better start Transcuren a few more than 5 billion If I'm her I'm saying the bank account isn't quite right there Bill Perhaps you want to transfer something else Because 5 billion ain't enough Brough Now he's not paying
Starting point is 00:22:54 According to this story and some of the other stories that I read He's not paying Specific spousal support and she's not changing her name and they're still going to try to work together at the foundation and Bill is still going to
Starting point is 00:23:13 finance that through the foundation and the philanthropic work is still going to do that separate from the divorce but if I'm Melinda again 5 billion is not going to cut it
Starting point is 00:23:32 bill. I'm okay right now. I've got the new place in town and the kids are still coming around and I'm feeling relaxed and everything's okay. But, ooh, e, five billion. I mean, I, I've got some things I want to do and this is not going to cut it. So you know what's going to cut it? About 50 or 60 more of those billions is going to cut it. Okay? So how about you cut whatever you think you're worth in half and send it this way? Okay?
Starting point is 00:24:14 And by the way, Melinda, if you need a hand, call me. I'm here for you. And don't look at me like that with your all. It's using over $5 billion. At some point you made so much money. At some point you made too much money. And people can't live on that. she's become accustomed to a specific lifestyle.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Okay? And you can't be expected to not live that lifestyle once you've become accustomed to it. So, I mean, I got it. Five billion seems like enough money for someone to live on. But not if you've been accustomed to living off of $100 billion. if you've been accustomed to living off 100 billion, $5 billion, you're lucky to get lunch. I mean, look, I realize, I realize, oh, I could just give me a million.
Starting point is 00:25:11 I'd be happy with that, would you? Because I think not. If you, you know, if you've been struggling all your life and you get a million bucks and, you know, now you're living large. But then you realize... You know, if I had two million, I could buy the other land that's a company in mine, and that would be even better. So I've got to find a way to get more than just the million I have now.
Starting point is 00:25:42 You know, if I could get five more million, then I could actually live the life I want to live. So don't be looking at me like that. Melinda needs more than that paltry five million. I spit on that five billion. that Bill's trying to give to her. When I got a great deal on a great gift at Winners, I started wondering,
Starting point is 00:26:04 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?
Starting point is 00:26:19 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 So I see where Stonehenge has been tested for what it's made of And remember the story we did
Starting point is 00:26:57 Oh man, I don't even know how long ago About the guy in Florida that had the rod That was drilled out of Stonehenge I should, you know, a good host would go back And find the story and tell it to you but you remember. So I can't remember if the guy had, it was his company or if it was one of his family members' companies
Starting point is 00:27:19 and they were a geological company. I think it was a German company. And they went and they drilled multiple rods out of Stonehenge. And I think it was, I mean, I want to say that it was, it was like half a dozen or so, but it might have only been two. But he had it. And he had it. He just kept it.
Starting point is 00:27:37 And he has been living in Florida. And he decided. I guess he was getting old and he's had it for all these years and he decided that he was going to give it to the Stonehenge Society or, you know, whatever they call themselves, the stoners. And so he gave it to him and they studied it. They did a study out of and they found that Stonehenge is made of rock. No, they say that it's made of nearly indestructible ancient material. Okay, sure, no problem. So I guess that this is
Starting point is 00:28:19 understanding the mysterious prehistoric structure and the core sample taken from one of the site's massive slabs suggests that the stone's geochemical composition may have made it uniquely well equipped to stand the test of time. All right, take that cut again. I want to run that through. If we're doing a documentary, we've got to take that. I said that wrong, okay?
Starting point is 00:28:47 The core sample taken from one of the site's massive slabs suggest that the stone's geochemical composition may have made it uniquely well equipped to stand the test of time. That's good enough. Take that. If you need that cut again, call me back. We'll do that. It's made from 99.7% quartz crystals,
Starting point is 00:29:09 which I'm guessing, and I'm not a G-L, but I'm just saying that I'm guessing that's rock. But I don't know that. I don't know that. Okay, so the stones are practically indestructible, according to the journal plus one, PLOS one? Sure. I love that journal, and I subscribe to it,
Starting point is 00:29:39 and it comes in my mailbox whenever it comes out. So now we've got a good idea why this stuff is still standing there, according to the professor of physical geography at the University of Brighton. The stone is incredibly durable. It's really resistant to erosion and weathering. That's because it's rock. So the study was made possible. Oh, yeah, the guy was a diamond cutter, Robert Phillips.
Starting point is 00:30:09 See how he died last year. That's right. I told he was getting old. He was getting ready to die. That's why he gave it back to the Stonehenge people. And he did repair work on it. In 1950, that's right. I remember the stupid story now.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Like I said, you don't need to worry about that. Just you remember the story. Don't worry about it. So when it was done, that's right. He kept one. And he just stuffed it in his back pocket and walked away with this piece of Stonehenge. And then he's decided, well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:30:44 Go ahead, take it back. And they went ahead and studied it, and they realized Stonehenge made completely of rock. So I'm glad that we studied that, man. We are good. It's that indestructible ancient material rock. As long as we're speaking about rocks, NASA is saying that the ingenuity helicopter is about to take its 12th flight over, you know, the red planet Mars, the Martian surface.
Starting point is 00:31:20 And it's taking 12 flights now already. That's a lot more than they originally had planned on, that's for sure. But they're saying that this particular flight has substantial risk. But don't they all have that? No. No, no, no, no. This is completely different. It's already exceeded expectations, and we are just overseeing this Mars mission,
Starting point is 00:31:49 and we're happy that we've exceeded expectations, but four months after becoming the first aircraft to achieve powered flight on another planet that we document, all right? We know that there are other people on Mars. Hello. the Galactic Federation is based there. I heard someone on coast to coast last week
Starting point is 00:32:14 mentioned that he's seen photos of other vehicles on the planet coming from the Mars helicopter rover ingenuity stuff. So, hello. Anyway, the 4-pound 19-inch-tall helicopter has taken 10 more flights of increasing complexity and they are going to, you know, wrap it up here pretty soon with their flights. When you look at where, you know, where they landed and how they've flown around, it's almost like, what? What are you talking about? It's just a little helicopter flying around on another planet.
Starting point is 00:32:54 But if you want to say that it's great, all right, go ahead. More space news as well. I might just stick with the headline on this one because this is, one of those stories that I like the headline and then I start reading it and I'm not I'm almost like okay you know whatever you say so the headline is
Starting point is 00:33:17 light detected behind a black hole for the first time light detected behind a black hole for the first time and I'm like okay great do I need the details
Starting point is 00:33:35 no I don't I don't I don't I'm not a I'm not a rocket scientist. I'm not a space scientist. I know the difference between dust and a rock, but I don't need to know. But apparently what's happened is that they normally detect light around the black hole, and then it disappears as it goes into the black hole.
Starting point is 00:34:01 The black hole eats it and it goes to nothing. But apparently they've found light coming from inside of the black hole. okay so if that's the case um yeah like from behind it light detected
Starting point is 00:34:24 behind a black hole which is inside it no no not inside behind I don't want to bog you down with science facts and as long as we're talking about space I see where Jeff Bezos has continued to keep his panties in a wad. He's all wound up.
Starting point is 00:34:44 He's finally taken a blue origin, and he's taken NASA's moon program to federal court. So he's doubling down on his accusations that the agency wrongly evaluated its lunar lander proposal. Elon got it, and I did it. Elon got it, and I did it, and I've been to space. And so I need the contract, okay? But Jeff, Elon's been doing stuff for us, and he's offered to even build the suits and stuff.

So last week, I am telling you about the Union Pacific Steam schedule.
Starting point is 00:36:46 And, you know, the big boy number 4014 that departed from Cheyenne, Wyoming on August 5th, and it's traveling through Arkansas and Colorado and Kansas and Illinois and Louisiana and Missouri. Speaking of Missouri, too, just as a side note, my ADD is kicking in. I read something today about Missouri that I did not know. And we're going to get into that at some point on this program because I was like, really? I mean, you learn something every day. You know what they say? You'll learn something new every day.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Anyway, so the train was Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming. Okay, so it was supposed to be in Denton, Texas, which is in my neck of the woods. And it's going to be, it was in Fort Worth on Saturday, supposedly. And so, but Friday, the 13th, was coming through Denton, Texas, which is, you know, I'd rather see it plow through Denton, Texas that hang out in Fort Worth for the day at the steam engine. and so and it went to all these different cities and we had fun with the train horns
Starting point is 00:37:59 and I played the whole litany of different train horns like this one here for you Jeffrey Okay just to be specific that's not a train horn I appreciate the truckers out there I love you you know that I do
Starting point is 00:38:17 but it ain't a train horn we did play a couple of trucker horns though on my train horn day on Friday. So we went through the horns. Anyway, so I find, and then I realized that Friday night, I realized, crap, I forgot to go to the train. We recorded here, and then I got home, and, you know, one thing leads to another,
Starting point is 00:38:43 and the next thing I know, it's Friday night, and I was, I forgot to go to the train. Well, I find out that my producer, Chris Corby. Hello. Decided to go see the train in Denton, Texas, apparently looking for me. And I didn't go, so he couldn't find me. I'll teach him. So how was it?
Starting point is 00:39:14 Well, we ended up sitting in the heat for about two hours and giving up and going to get dinner. It didn't show up? It was delayed due to track congestion north of town. By multiple hours? Yeah. Did it now? So did it show up at all? I mean, holy cow, you went to dinner so a couple hours.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Did you see it? I saw a video of it. It went through town when we were eating dinner. That is awesome. That's awesome. And now, to be honest, had I been there, I would have been to dinner too. Now, we've got to wait for it to go by. Nah, we're going.
Starting point is 00:40:01 I need a hot roast beef sandwich right now, okay? And you know what? And go ahead. I don't want the mashed potatoes. I want the fries and put the gravy on the fries. Anyway, not that I was ordering. And I am really hungry right now, by the way. Anyway, so you saw a video.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Saw video. How did you see? this video. Well, we went back to get my car. I was with a friend. Back to get my car for we got dinner. Okay. And someone was still there who had been there when the train finally did come through. Okay, nice. And he showed me a video of it coming through the crossing and it was blowing the steam horn. Well, you guys left. I told you not to leave. Check it out. Yeah, pretty much. So did it, I mean, it blew the, blew the horn. It came through chugging up the hill. It was really spectacular and I completely missed it. That's awesome. Now I'm really pissed. Now I'm really
Starting point is 00:40:53 You know what? I'm not, though, because I would be so angry that it didn't show up. Well, it did you know, it was late. Two hours or more? They're making you wait. And then, to top it off, tell me if I'm wrong. I guarantee.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Because they were supposed to stop. Right? They were going to stop in Denton for a while. And then they were going to go into Fort Worth because they had to spend most of the day, the following day in Fort Worth. So did they even stop in Denton? Because if they're that far behind,
Starting point is 00:41:29 they're just rolling through with the engineer holding out a sign going, screw you, we're late. Well, they were supposed to stop for about 30 minutes. I think they stopped for five to ten and then got on their way. Oh, my gosh. So they did stop. So they could get away with technically saying, we stopped.
Starting point is 00:41:49 We just didn't stop the full length of the full amount of time. Okay, so were there a lot of people out there? Oh, it was jam-packed. What? There were cars lining up and down the road. I'd like to, I mean, by the, for all you people that are showed up because of chewing the fat, thank you. I appreciate it. Bless your hearts.
Starting point is 00:42:07 I'm sorry I didn't show up and do a live appearance at the steam engine pulling through Dent, Texas. The old Union Pacific Steam schedule. So really, seriously, thousands? Oh, yeah. It was jam-packed. There were 25 people just at the crossing we were at. We were outside of town. Now you stood back away from the crossing like you were told to.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Yes, of course. I definitely did not go on the tracks. Okay. Did you stand back at least 25 feet? Sure. All right. Were you sure not to trespass on private property? Hey, I didn't see any no trespassing signs.
Starting point is 00:42:50 That is awesome. I'm so bad that I didn't. that I forgot about it. But on the other hand, I'd be even madder that it was late. It didn't show up. It showed up, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:43:01 No, I would have been to dinner and then missed it. It would have been really pissed. It's all right. The burger was pretty good. Oh, it wasn't a hot roast beef sandwich? That was a delicious burger. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Okay, so I talked about learning something new about Missouri. And I had not known this. Now, I've been all over the state of Missouri. And you know, my son went to the University of Missouri. I've been in Columbia. I love the state of Missouri. I'm a fan.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Okay, so I'm, we did the Colorado story where they have rescinded the 1864 proclamation, instructing residents to kill hostile Americans. And we started the show off with that, which gets you to the Missouri days of being able to kill a Mormon, right? And their Missouri executive order 44, the extermination order that was issued October, October 2,000, 27th, 1838. All right. And that wasn't, that was good until
Starting point is 00:43:59 1976. Okay. You could kill it. You couldn't really. Okay. I know that everybody's, I feel like the Mormons are like the Indians in Colorado where they were like, well, it was still on the books. And somebody
Starting point is 00:44:15 could have done it. I know. But it really wasn't happening anymore. We were past that, right? But So as we read the story, and it's talking about them going through Illinois, being forced out of Illinois, and Joseph Smith being murdered in Carthage, Illinois. And then it talks about Missouri and how Joseph Smith, and I never knew this. And I thought, is that true? So prophet Joseph Smith believed that the Garden of East.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Eden was in northwest Missouri, and that when Christ returns at the second coming, it will be in northwest Missouri. I did not know that. Now, I will say that I've been a lot of places in the state of Missouri, and there's some beautiful places, gorgeous places. I haven't seen what I thought would be the Garden of Eden. that's just me I don't know maybe I'm wrong
Starting point is 00:45:33 maybe I'm wrong but I just look that's what he believed and he's the man right I mean he founded him he's the grand poohba of them all so I'm just saying I never knew
Starting point is 00:45:50 that Missouri was the North what I would say Northwest Missouri was the Garden of Eden according to the prophet Joseph Smith and that when the second coming happens, it will happen in northwest Missouri.
Starting point is 00:46:06 It's good to know. Good to know for sure. All right, so how many of you have seen the new Talking Dead, I mean the new Walking Dead show on AMC Plus? I'm really tempted, man. It dropped this past Sunday. If you love Walking Dead, or my new Talking Walking Dead podcast with Jason
Starting point is 00:46:28 and my son Maximus is up, and you can leave. listen to it. We gave a little preview of the latest season. It's the beginning of the end, season 11 of Talking Dead. And we also, we talked a little bit on the podcast, and I've talked a bunch about it, where if you're a Walking Dead fan, that Rick needs to come back. And they most definitely need to bring him back. The fans now aren't real sure who he is. They're working on the movies. It's all part of the universe. They need to reintroduce him as the strong. character again in Walking Dead. Well, I got an email that begins, hello, Jeffie. That's how the email
Starting point is 00:47:10 started. Huh. That's the chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Listening to Talking Walking Dead podcast, and I want to share something that I feel you would find very interesting. Well, thank you. Thank you. It's a good way to send an email when you have information that people do you think would find interesting. I live in Virginia. near where beyond is filmed. That's one of those two seasons of World Beyond. I was working as an extra on the show this past summer and was filming while it was filming here.
Starting point is 00:47:43 While on my way to get my COVID test, we had to pass two COVID tests to be a lot of the set. Yeah. I saw someone that I swear looked exactly like Rick Grimes, aka Andrew Lincoln. I had to stop and talk with the man who I, if I didn't know better, was Andrew Lincoln. Come to find out, it was Andy Lincoln's stand-in. I asked him if he was working on Beyond.
Starting point is 00:48:12 He answered that he's been working on Beyond, fear, and TWD. In other words, he was a stand-in for Rick on set while in Virginia on Beyond on Fear and Walking Dead. so that means that Rick is coming back or he's just one of the guys they call up to be a walker that they need him and he's just nobody knows that he's the Rick stand in as he's got blood coming out of his stomach as a walker and he's just one of those guys
Starting point is 00:48:45 that he's just he's Rick stand in and he's the walker every time we have a walker that has guts pouring out of his stomach or a brain getting shot to hell I mean that's possible too but nope that's not possible damn it
Starting point is 00:49:01 this is inside information on Rick coming back so you heard it here first and you'll hear it again on Monday when a special talking walking dead after the episode one of season 11 actually airs on
