Starting point is 00:00:00 Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. You have reached Denver 911 communications. Do not hang up. All call takers are currently busy. Please stay on the line for the next call taker. That would be a little maddening. And that's exactly, well, the caller described it as terrifying, not maddening.
Starting point is 00:00:26 She called 911 and was put on hold. She thought it was a mistake. So she hung up and called back again And she got You have reached Denver 911 communications Do not hang up All call takers are currently busy Please stay on the line for the next call taker
Starting point is 00:00:42 So she claims she was on hold This lady in Denver Karen Schuster She said she was on hold for two to three minutes Huh The nationwide standards For 911 call takers calls being answered,
Starting point is 00:01:01 90% of the calls are to be answered within 10 seconds and 95% are to be answered within 20 seconds. Now those are industry standards. I don't know that the 911 police come busting into the 911 offices and arrest you if you don't. But, you know, you expect to call 911 and get someone to answer.
Starting point is 00:01:22 You do expect that. That's a basic service that we anticipate happening. I've talked about calling 911 here in DFW before and at the one house we lived in when we called 911 it reroutes you. So it answers and then it says, puts you on hold and reroute you to another city's 911. So that's even frustrating. And that took like, I don't know, 15 to 20 seconds, something like that. Maybe it was 30
Starting point is 00:01:55 seconds. I mean, it seems at the time when it's an emergency, it seems like it's forever. And so, which is why the standards are, you know, 10 seconds and 20 seconds, because in an emergency, every second counts, doesn't it? Now, apparently there's an issue with first responders and 911 call takers because of the COVID emergency. I call it a COVID emergency because it's actually a vaccine mandate emergency. People are retiring. People are not getting the vaccine. So they are either going to be fired or at least can't work because they're not
Starting point is 00:02:40 allowing you to come into the building unless you're vaccinated. According to this, Denver's mandate for employees to be fully vaccinated went into effect impacting city and county workers, okay, including, you know, health care and education employees and the number of employee vaccine mandates, I guess here for the 911 department totals 27 and 34 employees face possible discipline for not complying with the mandate. That doesn't seem like that many for a city the size of Denver, but I guess that's quite a lot for, you know, the 911 services. I mean, it must be quite a lot if you're calling up and getting the you have reached Denver
Starting point is 00:03:23 9-1-1 communications. Do not hang up. All call takers are currently busy. Please stay on the line for the next call-taker. I don't know if there was any music playing or if they, you know, come back. If that just repeats, there's no mention of that. I mean, we've all, you know, we've all waited on hold for whatever services for a number of minutes, if not longer, depending on the agency that you're waiting to talk to.
Starting point is 00:03:51 so it's very frustrating. And if that's going to be happening a 911, I'm hoping that maybe we, you know, find a way to transfer. Maybe if you don't have enough and the lines are busy, here they get kicked over to another 911 department.
Starting point is 00:04:09 And then they can kind of help you. Just a thought. Maybe we do that. But, you know, otherwise we just shut it down. We just shut it down. And there is no more 911. Ooh. that's a scary thought.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. So I don't know if 9-1-1 was called. I do know the police department was called the Spokane Police Department because their news station in Spokane Sunday night, during their weather report aired like 13 seconds of a porn video behind the weather report. So when you see the weather being reported by this lady, she's got the big screen and the temperature map behind her to her left, stage right.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And then behind that, behind her off to the side is another screen. And that's the screen that aired like 10 or 13 seconds of some what appeared to be a pornographic video. And so now the police were called. They were responding. So they received calls regarding what was described as a pornographic or explicit image appearing during a television weather forecast. I got news for you. I would not call the police if I was watching a newscast and porn came up behind one of the reporters.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Am I calling the police department? Come on now. Stop it. And so now they, according to this, around 6.30 p.m. on Sunday. SPD, Spokane Police Department, began to receive calls regarding what was described as a pornographic or explicit image appearing during a television weather forecast. It was a short video segment, generally described as a small portion of the screen, showing a separate image from the newscast of what appeared to be a possibly pornographic or explicit image. Estimates were the image video lasted about 10 seconds. So now everybody is involved.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I don't know why the police are involved, but they are. The special victims unit and technical assistance response unit confirmed they're working in conjunction with KREM, the television station, to investigate the root cause of the issue and how the explicit material managed to surface onto the screen. How about, hey, police, it's none of your business, by the way. Don't you have better things to do? The FCC will probably end up giving them a fine anyway because I guess you really shouldn't be posting explicit sexual clips during your newscast. There's happened before. The one time it happened, I don't know, seven or eight years ago. I remember the fine came through for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Starting point is 00:07:17 And now, and Twitter has been fined, you know, and I know that they had a big lawsuit to remove child pornography from the site. I mean, really, there's a lot of porn on Twitter. It's pretty amazing, actually, the amount of pornography that's on Twitter. But you got to find it and you got to search for it. I know. I get it. It shouldn't be there.
Starting point is 00:07:41 But I just don't understand the thought process of the police being involved. for 10 seconds of what appeared to be, you know, a porn video playing behind the weather reporter. It was a mistake. You know, sorry. They apologized for it. They came back on, I believe, and said the graphic clip appeared to display a woman's backside. And nobody realized it while it was on the air. They apologized for the mist dip later in the evening at the next night.
Starting point is 00:08:17 newscast, et cetera. An inappropriate video aired to the first part of the show. We are diligently working to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. Okay. All right. Thank you. We appreciate it. But calling the police stop.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Items believed to belong to Brian Landry were found at the Myakahatchee Creek Environmental Park. For the first time, items of Brian Landry have been found since the search for Brian has been going on because he is a person of interest in Gabby Petito's death. The Sarasota County Medical Examiner also confirmed that they were called to the park following the discovery of human remains and other items, including a backpack and a notebook. And they were all, they believed that it's him, but nobody says. And it was a partial, it was underwater. It was a partial body.
Starting point is 00:09:18 You know, could it be him probably? But we don't know for sure yet. As of this recording, it has not been confirmed that it was him. Now, does that mean that he was guilty of killing Gabby? Many will say yes. Many, you know, if I'm his attorney, I say, no, that doesn't mean that he killed Gabby. That means that, A, maybe the same person who killed Gabby killed him. Uh, maybe he didn't kill her, but he was so distraught and worried about people,
Starting point is 00:09:50 everybody thinking that he did kill her, that he ended up taking his own life. I mean, who knows? This is such a, such a strange case. But, uh, if it is him, I know that many people who believe that he is the murderer of Gabby Petito will be happy and it will be, you know, justice for Gabby. But we'll see. We'll see what comes out of the, uh, myacahatchee. I'll say that correctly.
Starting point is 00:10:17 The Myakahatchee Creek Environmental Park. According to the FBI, it could take several more days to process that scene. So we'll see. I know that they said the area found items that were previously underwater. So. So, so. Searching for Brian Landry is still ongoing, but I'm sure the world now believes that they have found Mr. Landry.
Starting point is 00:10:56 All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh, my, that still sounds good, but not as refreshing as the black can. Still good, though. All right, you see where Donald Trump is going to launch his new social media platform, truth social. He said the platform would stand up to the tyranny of big tech, accusing them of silencing opposing voices in the U.S. Well, that's kind of true for sure. Hopefully, truth social will not say no to social.
Starting point is 00:11:49 certain people and just want to bring on more voices the better. That's, you know, the motto of chewing the fat, by the way. But apparently you're going to, it's not, you're not going to post a tweet or a post. You're going to, the platform would mean that you're going to be called truth. So your truth social is just going to be called. Truths. So you're going to post Truths to Truth Social. So we'll see if that works
Starting point is 00:12:25 out for him. It's Donald Trump, so if he's going to be using it, I'm sure there'll be a few million people posting truths on truth social. I saw where Netflix
Starting point is 00:12:41 finally confirmed Ozark Season 4 release date in a new trailer. So, and it's the first part. So season four for Ozark is going to be in two parts. Oh, okay. So brand new episodes are coming January 21st, 2022. All right. And it's going to be seven episodes, two parts. You get seven episodes and then you got to wait till later in the year, hopefully, to get the last part of season four Ozark.
Starting point is 00:13:25 So it's about time. Jason Bateman, get to it. Make it happen. Let's go. I've been ready for it, man. The end of two, I mean, the end of three was awesome. And so we've all been waiting for four if you're an Ozark fan. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:13:43 If you have not, you can obviously stream all three seasons. It's well worth it. It's a fun ride. And I'm looking forward to it. I do like how everybody's taking the Walking Dead style plan of, that's the final season in 25 whole parts, 25 whole parts, but it's going to be a final season. So you get two parts for Ozark. Obviously Walking Dead is only three.
Starting point is 00:14:10 So when we came out with Superman being by or his son being by or gay or whatever it was, we now, and I joked, I've actually titled the show that day when we talked about the new Superman's son being gay and by. That, you know, truth, justice, and coming out. And so now we know that there's going to be a new actual. new Superman motto. It always was. Say it with me, truth, justice, and the American way.
Starting point is 00:14:49 That's right. You got it. Well, it's no longer going to be the American way. I hate the American way. I can't take it. So sick of hearing about it. So now it's going to be truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Huh? Yeah. Forget about that American way. We want truth, justice, and the better tomorrow. Well, one of the DC comic book artists just quit because I'm tired of them ruining these characters. At least he's sticking up for. At least he quit. I don't know that we, you know, I'm glad that we've got the big story of.
Starting point is 00:15:35 It's just a, you know, controversial story, a Superman. But at least he quit. At least he stood up for it. He's not saying bad things about it and staying there and working. He's actually saying, hey, I can't take it anymore. Well, with the changes to Superman, I'm going to quit. And that's it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Really? Yeah. He made the statement on a YouTube show that he was on. And what really pissed me off, he said, was saying truth, justice, and a better world. F that. It's truth, justice in the American. way. Well, he says truth justice and a better world, but this report says truth, justice, and a better tomorrow. So, which is it, my friends, which is it? And I know, I know, I know, truth justice in the American
Starting point is 00:16:31 way did not originate with the first Superman comic books, okay? It came from a radio serial in the early 40s as a way to cheer on the American military efforts in World War II. Okay. And then it was revived in the Adventures of Superman, the TV series. It aired in the 50s, okay? So get by it. And then by the 60s, the motto shifted to truth, justice, and freedom on the kids' cartoon series.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I don't remember that. Truth justice and freedom. The new adventures of Superman in the 60s. But then, of course, we had the feature film with Christopher Reeve, which revived the American Way version. Yeah. So, I mean, that's what we talked about before, too. It's just the comic books. They change this.
Starting point is 00:17:22 They want changes. They want new stuff. And that's what they continue to do. And they've got one employee saying he's had enough and he's going to quit. But it's just the comic book series. So, you know, Superman, the son will be by for a couple of years. and then he'll realize that a better tomorrow means the American way, and it'll change back up again.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Maybe. Hey, don't forget to follow me on social media. I'm not on truth social yet. Apparently, Trump's truth social is going to have an invited guest-only launch next month with a nationwide rollout within the first three months of 2022. I have not been contacted to be a part of the rollout of the, you know, invited guests on truth. And that, you know, a dear Trump media and technology group, TMTG, you know, I'm here. I'm here at Jeffrey JFR on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Facebook and Instagram is Jeff Fisher Radio. I'm here for you. If you can make me part of the rollout of truth, social. I'm happy. I'm happy to give it a shot, but we'll see if that actually happens. Also on Twitter and my Facebook and Instagram pages, I have, in the bios,
Starting point is 00:18:55 I talk about how I'm trying to raise money to help modern day slavery. Yes, and help. you know, anti-modern-day slavery. I'm not for it. Oh, you are, our rescue rescues these people. And it costs, they don't just rescue them and then drop them off in a local town and say, good luck, God bless.
Starting point is 00:19:16 No, they do the legal work and the medical and they travel to the home country and food, lodging, transportation, education. And they do that for a year to make sure that they can reaclimate into the world after they've been, you know, slaves. and that takes about $6,000 for one year. And so I'm trying to raise at least one year to save a human. Shavehead, save a human. Hashtagshave head, save a human.
Starting point is 00:19:45 And if you could donate to that, that would be great. The links to the page are on my social media sites in the bio. And I really appreciate it to be great. And I'm going to shave my head on the 19th of November, live on Instagram and Facebook, just for you. the donors. Yeah, nobody else can do it. If you haven't given money, I don't want you watching. Okay? And you can shave along. That's fine. You can shave on that day with me and posted. You can shave now and post your shaved head with your donation under the hashtag shave head save human. I'm all for that. Okay? Let's do that and take care of that. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:20:26 So there's something you don't think about often is cars being found in. lakes. Yes, underwater. So there's a story out of Fort Worth, Texas, that talks about a four-day-long expedition. They want to pull 25 cars from Fort Worth Lakes. Who thought? I mean, Fort Worth Lakes, they got 25 cars in them? Wow. So the other day they stopped after they had hauled five vehicles from the lake and three of which were stolen. Five cars were submerged in depths of this lake just off of Interstate 30 here in Fort Worth. They, um, the, this group adventures with purpose and depths of history know how plentiful and how damaging vehicles can be in bodies of water.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Adventures with purpose and depths of history. Okay. I guess maybe that's two groups, right? Adventures with purpose and depths of history. I was thinking it was one there for a second. Vehicles are really damaging in water. Imagine if you're a lake, according to Doug Bishop, who is part of one of the groups.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Basically, you have five bullets in you, and they're slowly infecting you, and we're going to remove those bullets, and maybe it'll be able to recover. Okay? Yeah, okay, cars leak oil and glue and antifreeze into the water, and that environmental damage is why we created adventures with a purpose, and we started diving for cars.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Okay, good. Good for you. Great. Also, get this. Okay. This company have pulled out 150 cars in their time, and they've helped recover 17 human remains. Wow. Most of the submerged cars are connected to insurance fraud or were stolen and abandoned.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Others have been connected to jaded lovers who steal the car. Occasionally, the vehicle is related to. a missing person or another criminal case. But according to this man, Doug Bishop, who I'm not sure whether he's with adventures with purpose or depths of history, he says, no car is in the water for a good reason.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Right? Okay, then. That's what I'm talking about. So then I see a story. I mean, it's just now that everything is going on in the water or underwater. The human remains have been found in an SUV in a river in Ohio after 20 years. Wow. So human remains were found in this SUV and they believe it is the missing mom and her two children. after 20 years so sad.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Authorities in Ohio have long suspected that this Stephanie Van Nijen had driven her car with herself and her two young children inside into the Ohio River. And they believed that because that's what she said she was going to do. She left a note for her husband and her parents saying that her failed marriage had driven her to death and she was going to kill herself and her children by driving into the Ohio River. That's what the note said.
Starting point is 00:24:43 So they still had 20 years later, we finally find the car in the Nissan Pathfinder in the Ohio River, in the water by Aurora, Indiana. So they believe that a bone recovered in the vehicle is a human bone. and it'll be sent to the lab and attempt to determine, I mean, 20 years in a river like that. You know, does, you can quote me on this, does some damage to a body. I mean, the remains are gone, right? I mean, it's just ugly. The water takes care of it.
Starting point is 00:25:18 We were talking about that with Brian Landry, right? Just horrible things happen to you in the water like that. And you're already, it's just another horrible case of mom and killing their children. What are you doing? That's just really sad. Really sad. More on the water news, though. Police have seized over 11,000 pounds of cocaine.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Uh, right? Yeah, on a yacht in the Atlantic Ocean. 11,000 pounds of cocaine worth about what they claim, $232 million on a yacht in the Atlantic Ocean, making it one of the largest cocaine halls in Europe and the largest cocaine. Hall in Portugal. Wow, the Portuguese Navy and Air Force. Wait, the Portuguese Navy and Air Force units found the 79-foot yacht at sea before finding the 183 bales of cocaine on board.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Police believe an international drug trafficking gang brought the cocaine into Europe. You think? No, I just think it was Joe next door bringing the five tons of cocaine. cocaine into Europe on this yacht. Yeah, it was just Bill. He just, you know, he's just bringing it in. Stop it. Of course it was some international, that's the Portuguese Navy for you right there.
Starting point is 00:26:50 The international drug trafficking gang. Yeah, no kidding. So it doesn't say it says they, police arrested three men and then took them to Portugal. authorities from Portugal, Spain, and the U.S. drug enforcement administration and the United Kingdom's National Crime Agency were all involved in the arrest. So I guess the yacht was just floating around with his three guys on it, not knowing where to go. It doesn't say I'm interested to see who the yacht belonged to and where it was actually going. were the three people on board, did they know that it had only 11,000 pounds of cocaine on it?
Starting point is 00:27:35 I mean, when you look at it, the bales are on the dock. Kind of tough not to know that's on the boat. It's not a boat, Jeff. It's a yacht. Oh, okay. Kind of tough not to know it's in there. And then I see kind of a funny story out of Florida. They find there's $2 million worth of marijuana
Starting point is 00:27:52 that was found in a storage facility. and the sheriff's department wrote a Facebook post that they were looking for the rightful owner. The Brevard County Sheriff's Office in Florida said they were looking to reunite $2 million worth of marijuana with its rightful owner. Now, it doesn't say in here how they found the drugs in the storage facility. It makes me wonder they just were just searching storage facility. now? I don't like that at all.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Now, do we just have our drug-smelling dogs sniffing around storage facilities now? Is that how? Maybe that's how we got the boat in the Atlantic. Not
Starting point is 00:28:42 working with the Portuguese Navy and Air Force. Maybe we have drug sniffing fish. No, not just fish. I'm sorry. Sniffing dolphins that, you know, are just swimming by yachts and boats now. And if they sniff something out, then we're able to, you know, pull them over and confiscate whatever we want.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Don't put that past. Don't put that past our agencies out there. Don't do that. All right, as long as we're talking about drugs, we've talked a couple of times on this show about the Pablo Escobar hippos, known as the co-cobar. hippos. You know, remember the hippos that were brought in from Pablo Escobar, the drug kingpin back in the 80s, and, you know, for his private zoo. And there are now 80 hippos. And of course, they're concerned over the environmental impact and the threat to human safety. So they
Starting point is 00:29:48 published a study called the growing herd and now they are they needed them to be cold so they were trying to catch them and some weren't caught and they didn't know what to do they were trying to neuter them and so they it became too dangerous and to do it so now they have um only 11 hippos have been sterilized by neutering them. They could only catch 11 and make it happen. So now they have announced efforts to control the hippo population with a new dart-laden contraceptive called Gannicon. That doesn't sound like a birth control drug, but I guess it is.
Starting point is 00:30:42 So they've now treated 24 more hippos with Gannikon. And so compared to surgery, Gannikon is a much cheaper option. But they still have to give the hippos three doses of Gannikon. So it doesn't say how long they have to go between shots. It just talks about the drug having been tested on other wild animal populations, wild horses in the U.S., kangaroos in Australia, wild cattle in Hong Kong, and now they're talking about having to track the efficacy of the drug by measuring the hormone levels in the hippo poop. But, man, that sounds like a fun job, too, wandering around, looking for hippo poop. Man, what do you do for a living? Well, I checked the efficacy of a gun-a-con in hippo poop.
Starting point is 00:31:48 And I just want to make sure if they can still have babies or not. That sounds like fun. But it doesn't say it says they're saying that they have to get three shots. I don't know if they just shoot them three times and then you're done. So that marks the hippo. Or if you have to do it in increments. So, you know, a month later, you got to go find them again. Weird.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Really weird. They have a weird problem with these hippos. You know, originally they were going to, they tried to catch them and they couldn't. So they just let them go. They, all the other animals in the Escobar Zoo, they took care of, but they couldn't catch the hippos. And that's right. And the one guy was like, ah, the one went away and we just let him go away. Oh, okay, no problem.
Starting point is 00:32:33 And we figured I'll let the other one go to. So, all right, no problem. So that's the latest update on the cocaine hippos. So they're out and about trying to get them all full of Ghana Khan so they cannot have babies anymore. And we'll finally get those damn hippos out of Columbia. We'll see if it works. You may have heard of the sex cult nexium and the famous actress who went to prison for her involvement, Alison Mack. But she's never told her side of the story until now.
Starting point is 00:33:07 People assume that I'm like this pervert. My name is Natalie Robamed. And in my new podcast, I talked to Allison to try. to understand how she went from TV actor to cult member. How do you feel about having been involved in bringing sexual trauma to other people? I don't even know how to answer that question. Allison After Nexium from CBC's Uncover is available now on Spotify. Okay, a little coronavirus update headline news so you know what's going on in the world of COVID.
Starting point is 00:33:48 The CDC has advised unvaccinated. people, you dirty, nasty, filthy, unvaxed people to stay home over the holidays. Unvaccinated people who must travel are advised to take extra precautions, including getting tested for COVID before and after travel, self-quarantining for at least a week after travel, self-monitoring for symptoms, and wearing a mask. So I would say that most people probably self-monitor for symptoms every day anyway. That's what you do in life is self-monitor. And I would say that if your family and you've been with your family,
Starting point is 00:34:36 you're still going to be with your family and not stay home. Just incredible to me. They also stay, a new study says that you unvaxed people. should expect to catch COVID every 16 months. Really, really, because I know a whole bunch of people that aren't vaccinated. And they have not had COVID. And they certainly haven't had it twice. I mean, it's been, we've been into this pandemic now for over 18 months,
Starting point is 00:35:16 which means that these people that I know that are unvaccinated should have had it at least twice under your thinking, right? So many of them haven't even had it once. Even if you say, well, they shouldn't have had it in the first part of the pandemic. Okay, because no one was vaccinated. You still kind of got to go with. They haven't had it once. So really, really strange. And the CDC has said children need to continue to wear masks in school, even if they're vaccinated. Now that's coming soon enough as it is to the fight for your children to be vaccinated with the COVID-19 coronavirus vaccination.
Starting point is 00:36:07 That is coming very, very soon. We know that we have authorization for the booster shots, and it's mix or match. Doesn't matter whether you were a very very soon. vaccinated with Moderna, Pfizer, or Johnson and Johnson, you can get the booster shot with any of them. It doesn't
Starting point is 00:36:30 matter. Oh, really? Yeah, it doesn't matter. Now, the advisory committee for the CDC is set to discuss the boosters this week and we'll see what they recommend before they can be administered
Starting point is 00:36:45 due to federal supply agreements or whatever. So, they're saying another dose of Pfizer vaccine was previously approved. Yeah, we knew that. And more than 9 million people in the United States have already received the booster. So they're talking about if you're eligible for a Moderna booster, you have to be an adult over 64, or ages 18 to 64 with high risk of severe COVID-19, or 18 to 64 and working in a place that exposes them to the virus.
Starting point is 00:37:17 So just about everybody. The J&J booster, Johnson & Johnson, is available after two months for those 18 and older who received the one jab initial. Oh, my gosh. And Pfizer vaccines were the two shots. Yeah. So it just doesn't matter. The mix and match booster is going to be allowed. Great.
Starting point is 00:37:38 No problem. As long as you meet the certain criteria, which everyone does. So whatever you got, it's going to be time for that booster shot. very, very soon. So let's get that to look forward to. We also know now that there's a new variant that we're looking at. Yay!
Starting point is 00:38:06 Yay! It's the COVID-19 mutation of the Delta variant. And it's under close watch in the UK. Yay! So Delta is. is the UK's dominant variant. But the latest official data suggests 6% of the COVID cases that have been genetically sequenced
Starting point is 00:38:31 are a new type. The AY.4.2, which some are calling Delta Plus, contains mutations that might give the virus survival advantages. Tests are underway to understand how much of a thing. threat it may pose. Experts say it's unlikely to take off in a big way or escape current vaccines. Man, it's not yet considered a variant of concern or a variant under investigation. Well, then what is AY.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Dot 4.2? Well, there's thousands of different types of variants of COVID around the world. viruses mutate all the time, so it's not surprising to see new versions emerge. Wow. What are you even asking the question for? Okay. I mean, original Delta was classified as a variant of concern back in May after it, you know, overtook the alpha variant to become the dominant type of COVID in circulation.
Starting point is 00:39:45 So this one we found out about in July. So we have nothing to worry about yet. So far, there's no indication that it's considerably more transmissible as a result of these changes. The mutations Y145H and A22V have been found in various other coronavirus lineages since the beginning of the pandemic. So we're just checking on it. We just want people to be aware, okay? It certainly isn't a variant of concern or a variant under investigation yet. And it's also being reported that the National Institute of Health has now corrected false statements by directors Collins and Fauci.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Huh. What false statements could. they have made well remember uh fauchy and collins said that the n iH did not fund gain of function research in wuhan well and they said it under oath too speaking to the the senate uh that's it though but today the national institute of health and that was yesterday actually provided a document to the House of Representatives, the United States House of Representatives, that claims that the National Institute of Health
Starting point is 00:41:18 did fund gain of function research in Wuhan. Oh, really? Isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting? So will anything come of these people lying to a Senate committee, lying to the American people? saying they did not fund what they did fund and this gain of function research should not have been going on. I doubt it.
Starting point is 00:41:49 I doubt it. I doubt it. And I'm going to leave you with a helpful tip. I had this sent to me yesterday giving me this tip and I wanted to share it with you. Jeff, you know how you throw a ball into the crowd after you win a game? that's not allowed in bowling. I know that now. And now so do you.
