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 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. Blaze Radio Network And now Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher I know that there's a lot of things

to worry about and talk about and we will get to them but first I wanted to set your mind at ease TikTok has banned the Milk Crate Challenge right

okay take a deep breath now the platform has banned it due to concerns that users participating in the trend could be seriously injured. It's a little late for that. I mean, if you haven't seen it where they're stacking milk crates into that pyramid

and then attempting to climb across the structure, yeah, you can do some damage to yourself. And we saw where even the gang members were doing the TikTok challenge in a park and getting shot at while they were doing it. We played that here on chewing the fat last week. So that will stop as well. There will be no more Milk Crate Challenge shootouts in the parks because it's banned on TikTok.

That's great news. Right? Right. I've forgotten about the one TikTok challenge that people were doing a couple of years ago. The Skull Breaker Challenge, which, I mean, there were charges for some people in this challenge, teens would stand in a circle and throw things up in the air and you couldn't move. Now, some, of course, moved because they realized that the ladder that they threw in the air was going to hurt when it came down on their head. The suitcase thrown in the air was going to hurt.

They were throwing wheelchairs. That's not funny. when people got hurt bad. And, I mean, one, we talked to, I mentioned the lawsuit. I mean, there was absolutely a lawsuit during the skull breaker trend because one mom, you know, was a little upset that her teen was hospitalized as a result of the challenge. Now, whose fault is it, really, when something like this happens. If you haven't taught your child that standing underwent. underneath something heavy and large to come down on your head just for a video isn't a smart

thing to do. Uh, whose fault is it? You're going to sue yourself? Anyway, I just want to let you know that you can breathe easy. The milk crate challenge is now banned on TikTok. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. If you were not aware, Ida.

Yes, the hurricane Ida. The storm hit to southeast Louisiana as a category four hurricane yesterday. It was the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Winds were up to 150 miles per hour. And two feet of rain in some areas, it's tied for the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall in Louisiana. One person right now we know of has died sadly more. to come, I'm sure. The storm waters bring flash flooding,

strain levees and pumps meant to reinforce the city. Over a million people in the state lost power, including the entire city of New Orleans. It's now a tropical storm and might even be a depression by now cutting across the country.

So still be safe and know where the storm is and where it's headed in comparison to where you live. But Katrina did serious damage. Hopefully this storm and we're prepared so it didn't do as much damage as

Katrina did. I mean, 1,800 people died during Katrina and it was $100 billion in property damage mainly due to storm surge and it overwhelmed the levees. And, you know, we spend a lot of money on the risk reduction plan that was put in place after Katrina in order to contain those surges. So hopefully they worked. We'll see as daylight comes upon the Louisiana shore.

We see just what damage Ida did. Just remember Louisiana's refineries make up almost 20% of the country's total refining capacity. So 60% of gasoline used on the East Coast comes. from the Gulf Coast refineries, that's not a good thing. That's about the worst place for a hurricane to hit. And they're already talking about gas prices going up. And whenever they talk about it,

you can count on it. It's already up. And now we have a huge challenge for hospitals. They're treating, you know, thousands of cases of COVID-19 patients statewide. And without electricity? Oh, my gosh. Hospitals are going to need to rely on generator, and they've got other issues with oxygen,

which we'll go get into in the show today. I mean, there's oxygen shortage around the country. So it's definitely not the end of the Ida story. No doubt about it. I mean, the coming days and weeks are going to be really difficult for many, many people throughout this country, let alone just the state of Louisiana. So we'll see.

I know that, you know, hospitals are having to deal with the oxygen. We talked, I mentioned the shortages. Holy cow. The number of people hospitalized in the U.S. exceeded 100,000 for the second time during the pandemic. And because, you know, COVID attacks, the respiratory system, patients with severe cases require highly concentrated oxygen to help them breathe.

And they've been. diverting oxygen to the hospitals to treat the COVID-19 patients, which means it can't be deployed in other places for other uses. So there's a whole bunch of worries going on with that. I mean, look, we, holy cow, you, they've already told you that don't wash your deck, conserve water, liquid oxygen is used to treat the water supply. and so there's plenty of places around the country, specifically in Florida that's being talked about,

where they're telling people, you know, you might smell the water differently. You know, we need to switch the treatment up a little bit because we don't have any oxygen, so it might be a little bit different. And don't forget,

I mean, the space, our space programs that have been going crazy around the country, oxygen is usually. used for that to propel the rockets as well. A lot of that has been canceled. It didn't cancel the one up in Alaska that apparently failed but was successful over the weekend. The Astra rocket launch that was postponed and then it took place, it was supposed to happen on Friday, then it happened on Saturday,

up in Codiac, Alaska at the Pacific Spacport Complex. And so the launch attempt failed to reach orbit, but Aster's CEO, Chris Kemp, was optimistic. It was obviously not successful at putting anything into orbit, but it was a flight where we learned a tremendous amount. And I know that, you know, I remember when Elon at SpaceX had the big crash and he was happy with the outcome, even though the full outcome was not successful.

So, you know, it was a rocket launch, successful fail, I guess. So congratulations. Okay. This story makes me happy. A woman with 14 tickets, and I say this, only 14 tickets, 14 parking tickets, has won a major decision in a dispute over whether a Michigan city, that would be Saginaw, Michigan, my hometown, where I was born and raised, and also have, I have, I have, I have,

received in the past parking tickets in that city makes me very happy this case. So she was pissed this lady because she believed that chalking her tires by the parking lady, I'm sorry, the parking enforcement officer, apparently, according to them, would take notes in sometimes chalk tires in areas where there was a time limit, but no meters. the city said chalking was a signal to motorist that vehicles were being watched. Well, yeah, and they've been doing that for a long time.

I mean, I've got the boot put on my car for, you know, a couple of times in my life. If you don't know what the boot is, they strap this thing on your car so it can't move. Now, they don't want you parking where you're parked, but they put a boot on your car so it doesn't get, so you can't move it. And then you got to pay to get the boot off or they, obviously tow it away and then you've got to pay more money. And they have been using this chalk, this damn chalkers for years. Well, according to this lawsuit, the city cited an exemption to the Fourth Amendment,

but the federal appeals court said it doesn't fit. So there you have it. I guess they claim that for nearly as long as automobiles have parked along city streets, municipalities have found ways to enforce parking regulations without implicating the Fourth Amendment, said the judge, in a three-oh opinion. So tire-chocking is not necessary to meet the ordinary needs of law enforcement, let alone the extraordinary. Good. Good. Don't be chalking my tires. And now they're talking about class action lawsuits, and there's similar lawsuits pending in Bay City, Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Man, if I still live there, I'd be a part of this class action lawsuit. Easy. So now we're talking about also setting precedent, you know, in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, along with Michigan. So I'm all for this, man. You damn parking people, parking enforcement officers out there chalking tires and giving tickets and putting the boo down people parking

when there's no parking. I used to park underneath a bridge close to where we lived. I had an apartment in one of the local areas close to the bridge. It was downtown area where there were, you know, it was nightlife area. Big surprise.

And so we, in our apartment, we'd park under the bridge. Now, you could park under the bridge in the evening, but during the day, there's only so much time that you could park. So you had to get up and go move your car to where you could park. in one of the parking lots or on the road or around the corner or move to another parking space,

which wouldn't always be open. So if you'd sleep in or you'd forget or just leave it there, then comes the ticket and or the boot. And you want to talk about one of the worst feelings is to come around the corner and there's your car with the boot on it. And I used to park in this one parking lot where you could open the window of our apartment and look out, you know, you'd look out the window into the parking lot to see at time to move your car before you got a ticket.

Well, if you had already gotten multiple tickets, then that's when you get the boot put on. And you open that window up and look out and there's your car and that parking lot in that parking space with the boot on. Wow, man, you just hang your head. You just hang your head. Because then you've got to go down and you got to pay the tickets. And you got to come and get the boot off. and then you get your car. And I found a way where you didn't have to pay all the money for the tickets.

So if you go before the magistrate and promise that you're going to pay the full amount, then they let you off with only paying a percentage. They probably don't do that anymore because of people like me. But I found that if you go before the magistrate and say, yeah, I'm going to pay it off. I promise. Just let me get the boot off. Here's 10% or 20%. I forget what the percentage was, but it wasn't the full amount, which made me happy.

and then they come and take the boot off. You could only do that a couple of times and then you had to end up paying the money or not get a ticket anymore, which was my plan all along. You know what? Let's go to the break room. There's so much more to talk about today, but I need something cold to drink desperately,

so we might as well do it in the break room. To catch the fight last night? You didn't even know there was a fight? Well, I probably should start with saying, rest in peace, Ed Asner, as long as we're in the break room. He died a 91 years old, Ed Asner.

Look, I know the guy was personally a kind of a, oh, what would you call it? A communist. But he was 91, and I loved a lot of his work. And, you know, I know he did the, everybody loved him for the Mary Tyler Moore thing. And he's, there's one left from the Mary Tyler Moore entourage. And that is Betty White.

She's the last one remaining. from that show. The rest of them have all gone to, you know, wherever they go. So, rest of peace, Ed Asner. And, you know, he was great. Everybody had a big, big resurgent after Up,

and he was doing guest shots and some of the big TV shows, and then he was still doing the Christmas movies. So, I mean, good stuff. And, you know, his talent will be missed. Now to the fight, pay-per-view on Showtime in Cleveland, Ohio. Paul, taking on Tyron Woodley.

You didn't know there was a fight? Well, there was. Well, there you have it. It was pay-per-view on Showtime, and of course they had the live audience there. I know that that rocket mortgage field house, I guess capacity is 20,000, but there was, I don't know, they had like 17,000 there.

Damn good crowd. and maybe that is capacity when they have the fight, I don't know. But it was a split decision. Jake won. He probably deserved to win. I feel like Tehran could have done better in his battle. He could have owned the ring a little bit more, and that's obviously why the split decision went to Jake.

So Jake is undefeated. He's all in love with his hot girlfriend, and that's what winning looks like. Lila Rose. I guess it's Lila Rose Paul now, even though they're not married. And they were supposed to get the tattoo. Right?

There was the big tattoo that was supposed to happen right after the fight. They were supposed to have the tattoo artist there. You were supposed to get either I love Tyron Woodley or I love Jake Paul, depending on who won the fight, the loser would get the tattoo. Apparently it didn't happen. And Tyron was already asking for a rematch and Jake was like, get the tattoo, put it on Instagram, then we'll talk about a rematch. So we'll see if the tattoo actually happens.

Anyway, it was a fun fight to watch, even though I really wanted to see Jake go down bad, but he's not going to go down from Tyron. So did you see where Samsung went ahead and disabled some of its televisions remotely? Now, the televisions were stolen from a warehouse in South Africa, and Samsung explained that the television block function is already preloaded on all Samsung TV products, though it only works if Samsung knows the serial code of the stolen unit.

Once the set connects to the internet, its number is checked against the database on the company's servers, a match results in all of the TV's functions being disabled. I feel like we talked about this before. At least we talked about it being able to happen. But I don't know that we've talked about them actually using it. So apparently during this unrest and looting in South Africa, there were these sets stolen at this distribution center.

And the company knew exactly which serial numbers to look out for, and they did. And in keeping with their values to leverage the power of technology to resolve societal challenges, they're going to continuously develop and expand strategic products in our consumer electronics division with defense grade security, purpose built with innovative and intuitive business tools designed for a new world. And I know this technology can have a positive impact.

Yeah, yeah, it can. You know, I want to say, okay, I get it. But are we trusting that Samsung is not getting it hacked and that hackers aren't going to just block? all Samsung TVs? At what point does the Kill Switch get over written by

time? I'm not sure. And didn't we have, I don't remember hearing of Samsung TVs getting shut down here in America. I know there was quite a bit alluding and unrest around

this country. I don't recall Samsung kill switching any television. Could have happened. It could have happened. I just don't recall it happening at this time. But just so you know, and I have Samsung products. I like Samsung. I'm not unhappy with their products at all.

I just don't want someone, you know, shutting off my Samsung TV without my knowledge. And so, and then what was nice, though, and this is nice of them, okay? Look, if your television was blocked by accident, and you say, hey, my TV wasn't stolen. All you have to do is send your proof of purchase to their service manager.

They gave you an email address, and you can send your proof of purchase to them, and they'll turn it back on for you. So just prove you didn't steal your TV. Oh, okay, well, that's darn nice of them. Oh, and I see the Doobie brothers are back on tour with Michael McDonald. Remember, they were supposed to do their 50th anniversary tour

last year and of course you know they announced it in 2019 and it was scheduled for 2020 and then it got delayed because of well you know that COVID thing that was going up and so they now it's back on and Michael is with them and the tour

I love that the tour if you get tickets is the Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald's so Michael said yeah you know I'm gonna I'll go ahead and come on tour with you and we'll do an anniversary tour, but it is going to be

the Doobie Brothers and Michael McDonald. So they started off at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Iowa, man, you got to love that. Don't get mad of me. I know the Iowa State Fair. It's the state fair

world that's going on now in the Midwest and the north. So shut up. I know. I got it. So then they showed up in Milwaukee. Got a of that and then they're going to be here in this neck of the woods at the Toyota music factory, the pavilion, technically in Irving, Texas, but you know, they show up in Dallas, DFW. And then they're, I think, I mean, I'm looking forward to it.

This is, you know, I don't want to slam the great state of Ohio because they have shows in Cincinnati and they have a show in Cuyahoga Falls. But they also have a show at the Toledo's Z. zoo amphitheater. Now, I don't know. I've never been to the Toledo Zoo Amphitheater. I have been in the great city of Toledo, though, multiple times in my life. And that also gets the Detroit crowd, too.

That's an easy zip from Detroit into Toledo for the zoo amphitheater. And that's one of the most expensive tickets, according to those $220 bucks starting from to the amphitheater. What is there, five seats? So it might be worth the show. It might be worth the show anyway. with Michael McDowell, and Dewey Brothers would be a really good show. It's the matchat or the three ensemble Ciceroa

of Sephora of the FACC that I just Denishy who are energize all the time? Mm, it's the ensemble. The form of standard and mini, regrouped, and the abem.

And the embellage, too beau, who is practically to do you know, I'd have them offer, but I'm sorry the Summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by

Selena Gomez. I'm just the most ensemble, the gift of the CFOs, Summer Fridays, Rare Beauty,

Way, Cifora Collection, and other, part of Vite. Procurry you, So the CDC format standard and mini, regrouped for a better quality of price. On link on C4A.com or in magazine. So the CDC is not backing down.

They were even after they've been told, yeah, you don't get to tell property owners that they can't charge rent. Well, they can charge rent. They just can't collect it. You don't get to do that. But it doesn't matter. They're going to go ahead and keep on plugging away.

The CDC director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, is now taking on. firearm violence. And according to Rochelle, I'm sorry, Dr. Walensky, she's not here about gun control. Right.

Okay. I'm, look, we want to aggressively take on gun violence as a public health crisis. Okay. Look, this is, we're not trying to alienate gun owners.

We want to prevent gun violence. and gun death. Okay, that's fine. I would, you know, probably take a guess that most of the gun violence taking place isn't really done by, you know, the everyday gun owner. But that's just me. And they came out with their preferred terms for select population groups and communities. That is so nice. I love them for that.

They have inclusive communication principles, preferred terms, using a health equity lens, developing inclusive communications, key principles, and of course they always leave you with the resources and references. It kicks off with corrections and detentions. Instead of inmate or prisoner, convict, ex-convict, offender, criminal, parolee, detainee, instead of that, why don't you try? people or persons who are incarcerated or detained, often used for shorter jail stays of youth or detention facilities. Instead of prisoner, use partner or child of an incarcerated person. Okay. Instead of saying convict or ex-convict, persons in pretrial or with charge. Yeah, that's persons with charge. That's what you should call them. Instead of using offender, people who were formerly incarcerated.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Instead of criminal, how about persons on parole or probation? Instead of parolee, non-U.S. citizens or immigrants. Wait, instead of parolees, persons on parole or probation. Yeah, okay.

And then instead of parolee, used non-U.S. citizens or immigrants in immigration detention facilities. I'm quite sure how that goes with parolee. And detainee, people in immigration detention facilities. Yeah, okay. Whatever. And under the disability heading, instead of disabled,

why not use people with disabilities slash a disability? I mean, we're already doing so much of this. Instead of differently abled, you should use people who are deaf or hard of hearing or who are blind or have, low vision so they're differently abled we oh man instead of using afflicted you should use people with an intellectual or development disability instead of confined to a wheelchair or wheelchair bound or handicapped you should use people with people who use a wheelchair or a mobility device i mean

Isn't that you're not confined? Don't say anyone's confined. Oh, man. Okay. Avoid using vulnerable when describing people with disabilities. Oh. Okay. The CDC is aware that some individuals with disabilities prefer to use identity,

first terminology, which means a disability or disability status is referred to first for the purposes of these guidelines. CDC promotes person first. language. That's so special. Under drug use and substance abuse, drug users instead of drug users, addicts, drug abusers, how about you say persons who use drugs, people who inject drugs? Yeah, okay. Instead of alcoholics or abusers, how about you say persons with substance use disorder? Yeah, how about we do that? Instead of a person's taking prescribed medication, that'd be assisted treatment,

you say persons in recovery from substance use, alcohol disorder. Wow, and we are, I mean, we're already doing this. We read this stuff in stories all the time. Persons who relapsed. Instead of saying persons who relapsed, you should say persons who returned it to use. Okay. Yeah.

I returned to use. Okay, I didn't relapse. And instead of just smokers, you want to say, you know, people who smoke. Yeah, those people who smoke. Don't just put everybody under one umbrella smokers. People who smoke. Healthcare act. This is this whole thing.

There's pages from the CDC of terminologies that we should. terms for select populations and groups that we need to be saying, and you can bet that you'll be reading all these terms in articles from now on, man. Healthcare access and access to services and resources, underserved people, communities. Instead of underserved people or communities, the underserved, you should say people who are underserved by whatever specific service or resource it is.

People who are underserved by mental health, behavioral, or health resources instead of hard-to-reach populations. People, the uninsured, should be people who are medically underserved. People who are uninsured, people who are underinsured, people who do not have health insurance.

What? That's the same, isn't that the same thing as, holy cow, we, I mean, you gotta be words. Words, Words have meaning, people. Okay. That's exactly why we need to go through this and use terms that, instead of homeless people, you should say people experiencing homelessness.

We're not going to go down every one of these. Transient populations should be persons experiencing unstable housing, housing insecurity, or persons who are not securely housed. Yeah, that's transient populations. poverty-stricken, people with lower incomes. The poor or poor people, instead of saying that, maybe you should say people or households with incomes below the federal poverty level. Oh, you mean poor people.

Wow. Okay, so under mental health, instead of mentally ill, people with mental illness. Instead of crazy, people with pre-existing mental disorder. Oh, okay. Instead of, that person is insane. You should say,

oh, that's a person with pre-existing behavioral health disorder. Yeah, that's what we're going to say. Did you see that person with pre-existing behavioral health disorder swinging his knife on the street last night? Yeah, I did. That person's a person. and saying, how dare you? How dare you?

Okay, instead of saying suffers from or is afflicted with, you should say people with a diagnosis of mental illness or mental health disorder or behavioral health disorder. So you should not say that someone suffers from or is afflicted from. You should say they've had a diagnosis of mental illness. Yeah. And we don't send, instead of asylum, which I don't know that there are any asylums anymore, which is, you know, kind of a problem. How about try a psychiatric hospital or facility?

Yeah, we could say that if there was such a thing anymore. I don't know that there is. I don't know that there is, man. Hold on. Instead of illegal immigrants, you should say mixed status households. Oh, okay. instead of foreigners. You should say refugee or refugee populations.

Okay. I mean, instead of the foreign born, who is saying the foreign born? Shut up non-U.S. born persons or foreign born persons. You should try that. Wait, that's what we just said. Instead of the foreign born, you should say non-US-born persons or foreign burn persons.

No, who's saying that? No one. Those foreigners. I hate those foreigners, man. All right. Okay, instead of elderly should be older adults or elders. We see that already everywhere. Instead of senior, you should numeric age groups.

Oh, persons. Just use, instead of, seniors, persons age 55 to 64 or over 65 years of age, frail, fragile. Okay. All right. People who are increased higher risk, high risk people. Yes, instead of high risk people, maybe you say people who are increased or higher risk for and then that particular condition. Okay, get that through. Raith and ethnicity. Okay, let's see this. Referring to people as their race, ethnicity, blacks, Hispanics, Latinos, whites, American Indians, etc. Instead of this, why not say American Indian or Alaska Native persons or the communities or populations,

Asian persons, black or African American persons, black persons, Native Hawaiian person, Pacific Islander persons, white persons, people who identify with more than one race, people of more than one race, persons of multiple races. I mean, we're already, we see that every single day. instead of rural people, people who live in sparsely populated areas. Oh, okay. Instead of frontier people,

how about rural communities? Wait, I can't call them rural people. I've got to call them people who live in populated areas, but if I call you, I shouldn't call you Frontier people. Who calls people Frontier? Are we living in the 1800s? Frontier.

people, shut up. All right, instead of homosexual, you should try this, LGBTQ, or LGBTQIA, or LGBTQIA, or LGBTQ plus, or LGBTQIA2 plus, plus, plus, IA plus. So, I mean, we're already doing that. I mean, gendered pronouns.

And instead of hermaphrodite, who calls people hermaphrodite anymore. How far down is that? One, two, three, four, five, six. Hermaphrodite. One, two, three, four, five, six. Just asexual or transgender. Yeah, nobody, shut up. Hermaphrodite. Nobody calls anybody that anymore. Are you serious? Instead of stakeholder. And note, stakeholders are persons or groups who have an interest or concern in a project activity or course of action. Those bastards. How about you try, you know, consider the audience when determining the appropriate terms to use.

Whenever possible, be explicit to better describe specific groups or individuals with interest in the activity using relevant names or categories. Oh, okay. Wow. Thank you, CDC, for going through this. And I'll tweet this out at Jeffrey JFR so you can be well aware. of the preferred terms for select population groups and communities as per the CDC. So I received this email over the weekend and it talks about, dear Jeffey, listening to your Vax skepticism. And you invited us to share our experiences. And I did. And I did get the first shot.

I said I was going to get the second shot on Friday. if you're listing live today is the 30th of August, 2021. That would have made it the, what, the 29, 28th, 27, 28th. And I didn't do it. I was the next thing I know, it's Sunday the 29th. So I'm probably going to go get it today because, you know, I got more than one email on this one that I'm sharing with you, you know, kind of put me over the edge.

So in the email, it says according to the show, according to show legend, and I'm a million years old, so therefore I'm in high-risk category. Which is, you know, that's true. I am a million years old, and I am in the high-risk category. This person says, I encourage the shot. This person says that he is at the end-stage renal disease,

got the Pfizer's two shots as soon as he could, no ill side effects. And as much as I felt like not getting the vaccine in spite, to spite the smug morons pushing it on us. And I know that's a big deal. It certainly is the vaccine is highly effective at preventing death. And he even quotes, you know, Bill O'Reilly and Ben Shapiro, two of the most fact-based guys in the media, are they?

But okay, I got it. And they both say this. I know that. I know that. And so, according to this person, they personally, even if they refuse the booster shot, they're going to take away his kidney transplant eligibility. So I plaster a crap-eating grin on my face and say,

thank you, nurse, may I have another? And due to a different awful medical problem I have on rare occasions, I have trouble breathing to the point where I worry I'm going to pass out and not wake up from it, and it is terrifying. I bet. The cons of hitting a crap jackpot with a bad case of COVID just aren't worth it. If you turn into a werewolf from the vat, vaccine in five years, you'll just have to stay up late during the full moon. I know. I know.

That's a good point. You know, maybe a werewolf isn't that bad of a thing. Plus, even though President Colostomy bag, and I'm not sure who he's talking about there, is demanding we submit, higher Vax numbers means less than an excuse to crack down on our freedoms. Not sure that's a good way to look at it, but okay. Plus, according to this email, this is Donald Trump's vaccine, not Joe Biden and all the right-leaning Americans should be proud of that. Yeah, I know. So I hope it didn't come off like I was ranting. God bless.

Well, it did. God bless back. And it also says, I want to be chewing the fat. I want to be chewing the fat for decades to come, right? And you will be for sure. Anyway, thank you. I appreciate it. And I am going to get those seconds.

Yeah, okay, you get off my back. I just didn't do it this weekend for a couple of different reasons. Just didn't feel right. Okay? I just didn't feel right about it. I'm sorry. And I'm going to do it, okay? Just leave me alone.

But I would like to, the transplant eligibility thing is really fascinating to me. I know that's a frustrating thing. And I'd be interested to hear a little bit more about that eligibility. Because can't you just get a kidney from, you know, Africa or something I know there's a pandemic but can't you just put up a couple of bucks

and have one shipped over from you know South Sudan or Nigeria just a thought I don't know I'm just asking questions and speaking of thank you ma'am may I have another Israel was reported this weekend

is no longer considering people who have received two Pfizer Biointech vaccines vaccinated as of September 1st. Only three vaccinated, three times vaccinated are you considered immune and vaccinated. So you must have, you must get the booster to be considered vaccinated. And they say that they're sticking with the eight month COVID booster shot timeline. but I'm pretty sure that one of the things that our president, Joseph Robinette Biden, was talking to the head of Israel the other day.

And by the way, he wasn't sleeping, or I guess they're all saying that the video was misleading and cropped. So he didn't fall asleep during the meeting, although it sure looked like he did. During that conversation, they were talking about moving that booster shot timeline up to five months. and that falls into what I told you on this show was going to happen. And you can bet it's going to happen.

I guarantee it. They'll say the eight-month COVID booster is not good enough. We need to get a jump on it. We need to do it four months. So you get double, you get both shots, the Moderna or the Pfizer, and then after that second shot, four months later, you need another one. You need to get that booster. Guaranteed.

Guaranteed that's going to happen. Ah, you can just feel it. I can just feel it. And good news. I saw someone who told me, I saw a story earlier today about going out and hunting deer. Oh, no, I was on Twitter at Jeffrey JFR. Someone tagged me in feeding the deer this weekend,

getting ready for deer season. A lot of people who own property feed the deer because they go out and hunt them during deer season and you get as much venison as you can for the freezers. I lived through that when I was living in Michigan. And you know, someone who has a lot of property, That's what they do. They actually take care of the animals on their property because they're going to kill them to eat. That's part of the deal.

Oh my gosh, that's almost like it was supposed to be. You know, it just keeps in a circle of life kind of thing. Somebody ought to do a song. Anyway, we just found out, for those of you that like venison, that, and I don't know if it, I don't know, I don't know if you can get it after you cook it up, but they're saying that, you know, Ohio white-tailed deer are now the first deer to be infected with COVID-19. I'm just saying it wasn't me that said that. It was the they were reporting it, okay?

So there's plenty of animals that have come down with COVID-19. Just not ones we eat. You know, when you look at the list of the different animals that have been reported, minks, remember they, I mean, they burned the minks and buried them and burned them in Europe. Cats, dogs, lions, gorillas, snow leopards, tigers, and otters have all reported the SARS-cove-2 infection. And now they say, they say, animals can't transfer to humans. That's what they say. there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading the SARS Cove 2.

Oh, okay. Now, that's the virus that causes COVID-19 in people, right? Yeah. Yeah, but of course, now, of course, there's going to be, you know, more studies done to understand, understand the differences. But as of right now, we don't know. I mean, we do know. We're telling you right now that right now we believe that there's no significant.

significant role in spreading it. So go ahead and keep those deer fed. I just don't let the deer sneeze on you or cough on you or kiss them. Okay? Go ahead and feed them. Just don't let them kiss you. And just so you know, people who are infected with the highly contagious Delta variant are twice as likely to be hospitalized as those who are infected with the alpha variant.

This is according to a new British stuff. It was published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal. And who doesn't get the Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal? In an analysis of more than 40,000 coronavirus infections in England. So they went ahead and took a look at it and the Delta may cause more severe illnesses than other variants. Fewer than 2% of the infections occurred in fully vaccinated people. So right now, I guess they're saying there's not enough data to draw conclusions. about hospitalization risks in that group.

But if only 2% of the infections are occurring in the fully vaccinated, you know, you don't want it, for sure. But if you're already vaccinated and you get it, isn't that the reason they were saying you should be vaccinated so that you wouldn't feel the full effects of the variant? Anyway, that's what we were told. also told that Taliban leaders now are seeking international acceptance. Are they?

According to this story, they are. And how they're doing that is by telling farmers to stop cultivating opium poppies. Oh, okay. So where they make all their money, they're going to stop growing that product. Okay. I guess if you believe it, then you believe it. Taliban representatives, I mean, we're talking about Taliban representatives. Are you freaking kidding me?

Taliban representatives began telling gatherings of villagers in the southern province of Kandahar, one of the country's main opium producing regions, that the crop, a crucial part of the local economy. Yeah, that's what these people are growing to live on, would be banned. Oh, okay. So the new rulers apparently won't permit the drug trade. Oh, they won't permit the drug trade. So now they're going to have an internal drug war on their hands while they seek international acceptance. Okay.

Local farmers in Kandahar, Urzagan and Hellman provinces said raw opium prices have tripled from about $70 to about $200 per kilogram due to the uncertainty. about future production. Okay. All right. I find this very hard to believe. These people have been growing this opium poppy fields for forever. That's how they make their money. They don't make, and it's not a lot.

The people who live there in these provinces, the farmers, don't, what are they going to grow? They got to grow something. I mean, that was the joke I made years ago, where we should have gone in and put honey bees in the caves. So at least they could have honey as a product instead of opium, which, you know, not going to happen. It still could, though. You still could use the chewing the fat plan.

Give them honeybees. We need honey bees. We know we're losing honey bees. Let's grow them. Let's get them out. Let's get them to Afghanistan and get these farmers in Kandahar honey bees. And let them start creating honey in the caves. So that instead of producing poppies.

for opium, which I don't know if you know this or not, gets processed into heroin. They could produce honey. Now, if you think, I don't buy it for one second that this is actually the truth, but that's what's being reported because there's no way that these drug lords have run that country forever, ever.

And the Taliban is going to try to take them down on top of trying to be internationally accept it, please stop it. No, I don't believe it. Not for one second. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
