Don't let anybody tell you different. I don't care. I know you thought twice about wearing that today, but you look fantastic. I'm serious about that. So if you're stuck in an airport with thousands, of other people because you're unable to travel because either weather or the Amacron flight disruptions. Bless your heart for listening to Chewing the Fat while you're trying to catch a flight back home or wherever you're going.

If you were going to fly over the holidays, you for sure felt the disruptions. No question about it. We had the lady in Phoenix, and I am no fan of Phoenix Airport. But, well, I mean, at least American Airlines at Phoenix Airport, and we've gone into that story before. But this lady decided that, hey, hey, hey, my plane is leaving and you're missing the plane. So she broke through the glass doors that separate the passenger area and the airfield and ran down the stairs because she wanted to stop the plane from taking off and leaving so that she could get on it. Now, she was stopped by employees. so she ended up missing the flight she didn't want to miss,

and she's being charged with first-degree criminal trespassing on crucial public service facility. Okay. All right, thank you. Lock her up, throw away the key. She just didn't want to miss her flight. Anyway, happy New Year. Welcome to 2022, and I hope that you did not get arrested on the tarmac.

trying to stop your airplane from taking off without you on it. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. I know many of you probably spent the holidays hoping to win the Powerball or the Mega millions, but you still have an opportunity. Now you could have won, you know, a million or thousands of dollars or you could, you know, win like me. I want $12.

So, yeah, I had some extra cash to spend over the, holidays. But if you're listening live today, it is January 3rd, 2022. And that means that there's a powerball drawing tonight for $540 million. And then the mega millions power or lottery drawing is tomorrow, the 4th of January, 2022. And that one is $244 million. Cash option, 172.5. option for the powerball is $384.3 million. That'd be sweet. It's pretty sweet. I would rather have that than the 12.

I'll tell you that. But I do know that inflation is affecting everyone. Everyone inflation is affecting. You know, I used to get these emails from people saying, hey, we've got an opportunity. We need your help. If you just help us and send us an email, We're going to give you the opportunity.

In fact, seven months ago, I think was the last one I got that said 47 million, 745,533 euros could be in coming to my financial institution because they had no way of getting it to the U.S. And man, did I want to jump in on that? But I didn't. But 47 million, that's worth your time. If you believe it, that's worth your time to do. it. But I got an email over the holidays that proved just how bad inflation really is. Okay, this particular email is asking for help because they've got an outstanding payment that they need to get into my bank account over here in the U.S. Now, this comes from Neil Andrew

Patrick, a British citizen who claims he's married and lives in the U.K. And he has a deal on private purchasing and supply quality wholesale chemicals across the globe. And he needs my assistance to receive an outstanding payment of $398,750. Now, I don't even know what to say to that. Because, I mean, I had an opportunity seven months ago for $47 million. And now times are so tough that I'm supposed to jump in for $3,000. $398,000? No, thank you.

Sorry. That's not worth my time. I mean, I could forward the email to you, if you'd like. You can email me at Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com. No problem. I'm happy to forward it to you. But I mean, come on now. Times are so tough that we've dropped emails, scam emails.

I mean, emails to help people. and they're at $398,000 instead of in the millions. And on top of that, they're saying that I'm going to receive from my vendor to take out 10%.

Oh. Okay. No? How about that? How about no? Just weird. Just really, really weird that we've dropped it down to

hundreds of thousands of dollars. Stick to the millions. If you want people to play, stick to the millions. In fact, that should be the new Chewing the Fat lottery. Stick to the millions. Well, it feels like so much has happened since we last spoke. I mean, we spoke, what, the 17th or 18th of December. So it's only been 12 or 13, 14 days, something like that.

It feels like forever. Thank you for coming along for the ride today. Good news in Scotland for those of you that are, witches or have a gene pool from witches. Apparently Scotland may, now they may it hasn't been done yet.

Don't get your fingers crossed yet. Well, or get them uncrossed. Either way, they may posthumously pardon people executed as witches. I know. That's good news. I mean, they're still

dead. and it was, you know, 400 years ago. But hey, we're going to pardon them anyway. Guess what? You know what? They probably weren't witches. So we probably shouldn't have done that. I mean, we already, they did that with their witchcraft act, which was repealed in 1735.

But until they did that, about 3,837 people. were accused of being a witch. And most of them were women. And only two-thirds, they didn't kill them all. They only killed about two-thirds of them. That's all? Don't worry about it. It was just a little fight between the Roman Catholic Church and the aristocrats.

Yeah, I know. I know. The aristocracy. Yeah, there was a big fight, and we couldn't have that. So, King James believed in witches and developed what they thought were scientific methods to detect them. Interesting, isn't it, that science has evolved? So what they believed 400 years ago isn't quite what we believe now.

In fact, it isn't even quite what they believed, I don't know, 350 years ago. Anyway, we only killed about two-thirds of the 3,837 people who were accused of the crime. Now, again, King James believed that he had developed a way, a scientific way, to detect whether you were a witch or not. And he believed that pricking that person with a long needle to see how much they bled. And if it wasn't enough blood, yeah, you're a witch. Okay? So I'm going to poke you with this needle. Let's hope you bleed enough.

If you don't, you're a witch. Oh, that's almost like what we were doing here. Well, we'll put them under water and we'll drown them. And if they come back to life, they're a witch. Oh, no, darn it, we were wrong. Oh, wow. So, anyway, the witches are still really, really mad. Some of the campaigners are invoking other big blotches in Scottish history.

They, the Witches of Scotland podcast, said that it's not similar to how Scotland needs to face up to its role in the Transatlantic slave trade. Oh, okay. All right, well, go ahead. Own up to it then. No problem. Now, apparently,

uh, the witches of the world are pissed at, uh, they're still mad at Donald Trump. Why you ask? Well, and if you would think to yourself, well, I bet it's because he is to call that whole thing a witch hunt, you would be. right. You would be a hundred percent right.

The witches are pissed, okay, and they have been pissed since Donald Trump. They're still mad at him. Because, you know what, they said, it may on the surface seem like a harmless way to trivialize this special Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's

interference, but as the actual community of witches, we disavow this constant invocation of a witch hunt. It's problematic and frankly a bit hurtful. Really? Is it?

I mean, he's saying, he's calling something a witch hunt, which makes it bad. So he's really on your side. He doesn't believe in witch hunts, right? It's ridiculous. He's saying that witch hunts are ridiculous. So he's not saying kill the witches. He's saying don't do the witch hunt. I'm just making a case for former President Trump, that's all.

But those who practice witchcraft that if you call something a witch hunt, that just brings up painful memories of a hurtful period. Does it? Does it? Okay. All right. I mean, I almost want to reach out to the witch. of Scotland podcast and talk to them.

It might be fun. It might be fun. I've known a few witches in my life, aside from the jokes, aside from the actual witch jokes. I have actually known people who profess to be witches in my life. And one was great. I loved her so much. And she was so awesome. And the one thing she told me to do to make something happen, I never did.

And I should have because I would really like it if it would have happened. I would have been very happy if what I wanted to happen, happened. And because I didn't follow through on what the witch told me to do, that didn't happen. now this witch that I knew this particular witch was a good witch she did not want anything to do with the the bad witches I got to read we're going to talk to these people

I have got to talk to the witches of Scotland podcast people so I'm guessing that Claire Mitchell yes Claire Mitchell who launched the witches of Scotland

that they may just show up here on chewing the fat very soon. Anyway, be careful when you say someone is on a witch hunt because it's hurtful. Alright, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink. Welcome to, oh my gosh, 2022 break rooms. Good to see you. Glad we're back.

Get yourself something cold to drink and sit down. We got some serious things to talk about. You know, there are a lot of entertainment stuff going on. Did you see? Oh. So good. I don't even know where to start. I guess, you know, who died today?

But it really isn't today. I mean, who died the last couple weeks since we've been gone? Because it feels like they just been dropping over. I mean, we lost Betty White. We lost John Madden. We lost Harry Reid. I mean, those are the three biggies, I think, right? There's probably missing someone.

But, I mean, Betty White, we, I saw that she had, I mean, the day, the day that we got the news that she passed away. I see a picture of her on the National Enquirer or the examiner that we're celebrating her 100th birthday coming up on the 17th of this month, January 2020. Uh, new. But yes, we are. Of course, we're going to celebrate her birthday. Of course, we're going to celebrate her 100th birthday, even though she didn't make it.

So, I mean, People magazine had their big thing out there. they kind of jinxed it, National Examiner jinxed it. I mean, if you're the guy putting the National Examiner, maybe he probably did it early in the morning, but if I'm the guy putting the National Examiner on the racks, and I

see the link come through, hey, Betty died, am I putting that on the shelf? Maybe I am. Maybe I don't care. I don't know. And John Madden, they just had a big special to do about him on Christmas. And then he passed away. Very sad.

and Harry Reid I mean rest in peace I guess okay yeah go ahead rest in peace Harry

fine and we had all kinds of stuff to watch over the holidays my gosh on top of what some great football games and some

not so great football games there was some we had being the Riccardo's which I the Lucille Ball movie on Amazon I

that was great. I really enjoyed that. Had a lot of fun. And it told a story that I wasn't aware of. And I've read a lot on Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. And I never heard the story that they did in the movie, which is probably why they did it. But it's a fascinating story of how they stayed alive and how Lucy made it through the communist phase of Hollywood. And it was really, really, really worth a watch. But if I hear, I swear, all I've read all over the holidays is how Nicole Kidman is being discriminated against turned down in Hollywood because of age. At about 40, you're done, she says. Hollywood kicks you to the curb. Is that right?

Is that right, Nicole? Because if I go back the last couple years, you're working and you're doing a lot of stuff. So I'd like to just say, uh, no, that isn't true, especially not today with all the outlets and opportunities that you have to make great content. Please stop it. I mean, she's been in, holy cow, she's in Aquaman, right? Let's go back.

Just a, just a little bit, shall we? She's in Aquaman. And they're producing post-production of another one that she's in. She was in nine perfect strangers, which was great. She was in the undoing, which was great. She was in Big Little Lies. There's another guy that died. Another who died today, the director-producer guy of Big Little Lies.

What was his name? I got to give him his love. Yeah, Jean-Marc Valle, or John Mark Vell or Vail. Jean Mark V-A-L-E whatever he pronounces his stupid name they found him

in his shack up in Canada so I mean rest in peace to Jean I'm not making light of your death but I am saying that Nicole Kidman

needs to quit her whining she's been working all over oh Hollywood band older women do they okay well then you got together and did a bunch

of stuff didn't you so you're pretty good I mean if you got holy cow she's been working a lot the last few years. So I don't want to hear her whining about being canceled.

And older women in Hollywood, not anymore. Not anymore, my friend. Sorry, Nicole, I don't buy it. Have a good day. Take care. The problem I have with Nicole Kidman is I just, I love her work, but I just can't bring myself to like her. I know it's just me.

I get it. It's okay. And I watch her stupid shows and her work and she's always enjoyable and I love her work. And she was great as Lucille Ball. And she was great in those other shows as well. Nine Perfect Strangers, the Undoing, although I didn't like the ending still. And The Big Little Lies was awesome. I mean, it just, I just don't like her.

Okay? We'll just leave it at that. I just don't like her. Oh, and we talked about before we left how Schwarzenegger and Triver were not divorced yet. well, sad news or good news depending on who you're rooting for. The divorce is final. Yeah, it's over. It's been

10 years since they began that divorce settlement proceedings and it's finally over. 35 years of marriage. So 25 I mean, if we're still counting the 10 that they've been fighting over the finalization of the

divorce papers. So, you know, 25 of years that they were together. Don't forget what ended that one though. A, the governor, I think he was done, right? He was over, he was over with the governor. So he was just back to being plain old, you know, superstar actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California. And he was admitted that, yeah, the 14-year-old kid that I've got with, I was doing the housekeeper. Yeah, well, Maria, what can I tell you?

She was there. You weren't. Oh, you were downstairs? Oh, never mind. Sorry. Oh, and don't forget. The 26th season of the Bachelor premieres tonight. Yay!

You know, I don't know that I've actually seen a full episode of The Bachelor. Now, I know I've seen clips and I've watched, you know, bits and pieces, but I don't know that I've actually watched an episode from beginning. beginning to end. So there's that. I might have to get back to Better Call Saul. You know, I started watching a little bit. There's so much, there's so much good entertainment out there.

New stuff. New stuff that's out there. And, oh, the season finale of Yellowstone was last night. I was a little disappointed, to be honest. Kind of a little disappointing for the season finale of Yellowstone. But, you know, we'll see how it goes. We can talk about it. We can sit down.

we could discuss, but it seemed like there should have been more. I wanted more. After the season finale of last season with everybody getting shot up and blown up, this seemed a little anticlimatical. Ah, yeah, all right, that happens, sure. All right, fine. Only one person died. That's it.

All right. Plus, we didn't even get to see everything that the wolf told our boy. okay we didn't get to see it I know I mean we learned what it what he said what he said he saw but I mean

could he have taken the other path and gone down something else possible possible anyway if you watched it you know what I'm talking about I started a while I started with just talking about

Saul because you know I've watched I started watching Better Call Saul at some point I don't know what season that show is on, eight or nine or ten, something like that. And I've watched, I started watching it off and on, I don't know, a couple of years ago. And I got into it, and then I got away from it.

It just was one of those shows that didn't grab me. I really liked it when I watched it, but I didn't, you know, I had other stuff to watch. There's other things, you know. And so I see where Netflix has put up the first four seasons. And so I was sitting there one afternoon, and I, you know, I decided, well, you know what? Maybe I'll watch, I'll watch, I'll start at season,

one and I'll watch it until I get to the point where I saw some of the episodes. And then I'll stop and, you know, I'll catch up some later time. I'm not, none of them. I don't know when I started watching, but the first three seasons, I saw zero of them before. That was really good. I mean, it was awesome. So if you get a chance and you haven't watched Better Calls at all, well worth it. It's fun, really fun.

And I'll tell you another thing that's really, who was tough throughout the holidays is that there's a couple of times during each episode almost where there's smoking going on and it's a relaxing end of the day cigarette smoke and i know i know i know look i'm done i haven't smoked i'm not going to smoke back off me leave me alone i know it terrible and bad you know what those things do to you yeah i do i got it but when they are both smoking it looks so good I mean, I see people smoking sometimes and this looks like, oh my gosh, what are you doing? Put that thing away. Don't smoke like that.

You're just, that's just bad. But sometimes it looks so good. Or you could just, you have that smoke wafting around you. Oh man. Oh. And then, you know what I'm saying. Welcome aboard Air Canada. Rocky's vacation, here we come.

The FDA has granted emergency authorization for Pfizer's booster injections in children and teens ages 12 to 15. So that's good news, right? Oh, yeah. Listen, they authorized it on the basis of real world data that they got from Israel. So shut up. And there's no clinical trials that are cited in the FDA press release. So they just went ahead with the real world data and said, yeah, go ahead.

We'll give you that emergency authorization. Okay? So live with it. And we know that New York good news out of New York, which is special. They're going to make sure that non-white people are, you know, given priority when distributing

the life-saving COVID treatments. So that's more good news there, right? Look, individuals should receive priority for COVID-19 treatments based on risk factors. That includes those who are immunocompromised, those who are age 65 or older, and those who are overweight. There's also a note in there, though, that says,

you know, any COVID-infected people who are non-white should receive priority for treatment over white people. Because of, yes, you guessed it, inequities. Yes, hello. Non-white race or, Hispanic Latino ethnicity, ethnicity, I'll say that word, ethnicity,

should be considered a risk factor as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19. So how about you zip your white mouth? You're not as sick as you thought you were, okay? So,

there. So don't tell me, oh, but I've got COVID and I'm sick too. Yeah? Well, you're white, so get to the back of the line. Okay? Like I said before, zip your white mouth, Whitey. Okay? Zip it. You're not as sick as you thought you were. Wow. Just amazing. Amazing times we live in. Amazing times. You know, we also learned over the holidays that my man,

from Japan has invented a lickable taste the TV screen. Yes! Come on now. Tell me that's not going to be on sale on the Goop website soon. Lickable TV?

Oh yeah. Remember the... Now this goes back a long time and I don't remember this personally because I was way too young for this. But remember the scratch and sniff? magazines you don't yeah well there used to be this thing called magazines and uh that you could purchase them and uh if you opened up to a particular page there may be something on that page where

you could scratch it and sniff it and it was supposed to smell like whatever the picture was on the page of the magazine anyway that's what we're going to get on tv if you've ever watched watch a television show and say, oh man, I bet you that tastes good. Well, now you're going to be able to make sure and see if it does because you'll be able to lick your TV. I know, how cool is that? Taste the TV. Yay!

So what he's done is he's created a 10 flavor carousel that when combined can imitate specific foods, flavors from chocolate to pizza. Now, you know, you know as well as I do. They're going to be adding other flavors to that, and it ain't going to be food. So don't be telling, oh, gross, you know what's happening. All right, that's where we're going to get the distinct. It's where things start.

You know that. Oh, my gosh. Once mixed, the flavor combination, rolls over the TV screen via the hygienic uh-huh film for consumers a licking pleasure. Yay! Now, I know the story they call it the boob tube. Yeah, that's because that's what it's going to be. The boob tube licking food feature is intended to enhance connection-starved watchers.

Yes, if you're connection-starved, you need to have the ability to connect and interact while you're limited. You're limited because of, you know, the coronavirus restrictions. Yeah, you've been locked up so long that, you know, I know you're in the meta, but if you're in the meta, and you can lick a screen

to taste what you're dealing with in the metaverse, now we're talking. Now we're getting there. Now, I mean, Zuckerberg's going to have to pay big for the lickable TV, for the old boob tube licking, because once you're in the Metaverse, man, you're going to want some boob tube licking going on.

Pretty sure. Pretty sure that's what's going to happen. So I guess the flavor jets squirt out the substance onto a plastic sheet and then you lick that screen. So, okay, great, no problem. It sounds wonderful. and beautiful. And man, if you could just lick that TV screen

and let me know what it tastes like, now we're talking. Now, according to this guy, he said he can create this unit right now for about $187 to build. To build. Commercially, $875? Come on now.

No way. No wacky. get an 80 inch TV for 875 bucks close but not and now you're going to tell me I'm going to be able to get a lickable well okay so you get the lickable TV now I've got to talk this through a little bit

you get the lickable TV but you're going to have to buy the flavor gel cells that come together right so if you're going to I have to buy the flavor gel cells that make the chocolate taste or that make the steak taste

or that make the boob tube taste. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's what you're going to get at goop. That's where they're going to make their money. It's not the TV. The TV is just the device. You're going to want the liquid. You're going to need the liquid.

You're just, you can quote me on that. You're going to need the liquid. Black Friday is here at IKEA, and the clock is ticking on savings you won't want to miss.

So I've joked around about being ready to get chipped, and just put the chip at me and be done with it. But I know we had big news over the holidays, where people in Sweden are getting microchipped to have their COVID-19 vaccination records

just on the chip. And so it's a little bit different, though. I watched a video of this particular microchip, and it isn't the microchip that has all the information and can be tracked, although you could still get that. And I know that we did stories and have done stories about the microchips in Sweden. that are, you know, have all your information and you're able to access your home and your office and wherever you want to go and, you know, when that's how you get in and it has your information on it and you're able to be tracked and know where you're at. This particular chip for the COVID-19

vaccination, and I think, I'm not sure if this particular one had other health information on it, but this chip was just to have your COVID-19 vaccination records because you want to wanted to get into events and get in and be able to go out and about, you know, live your life. And so you were able to just, you know, put the phone over it and it would show that you were up to date on your COVID-19 vaccinations, whether you've had two or three or four or five or 10 or 20, just showing that you were up to date. But it wasn't the tracking microchip. Oh, so that's fine then.

Shut up. That's what I mean. It's fine. I mean, that's like carrying around a wild. wallet, right, except they're just putting it under your skin. That's it, though. That's it, though. Now, the other microchip is a different story.

That's the one that can be tracked. That's the one, poop, and you're just good, right? I mean, it's got all your information from banking to family to all of it. And so you just, whatever story you're in, poop, and you're good. I'm almost there. I'm almost there. Just, I mean, I want us to carry around that. stuff in a wallet, right?

Your proof of vaccination and your driver's license and your health information and all that stuff. You just put it, go ahead, put it in me. You just poop and you're good. And it's fine. But you need help. You'll say, what happens?

What happens if, you know, like the girl, the girl with the story of the missing college student, they found her alive, thank God, because of her phone. And the guy was, you know, of course, the criminal was an idiot. That's just the way life is. But if she had a chip, it could have been a lot easier. I mean, if it saves one life, right? Isn't that what we're told if it saves one life?

So a 19-year-old Utah college student missing for five days, they found her alive. Okay? I mean, which is wonderful. And I'm happy that they found her alive. But they found her alive for a couple of reasons. One, her parents were diligent and went, above and beyond. And it was, you know, thank God they did.

But this guy, and they found her in this guy's house, naked and under a pile of coal. I mean, nothing sounds, nothing makes you happier than being buried under a pile of coal naked. I don't care who you are. So she was last seen leaving her college dorm on Monday, December 13th. All right.

And she was looking like she was going out with someone. And then they had video footage of her just, you know, what she was wearing and how she was leaving. But she sent a message from her phone to her parents saying, I love you. And the parents were like, hey, she usually sends a message of, hey, you know, stick it up, you rack them. Aract them. They aren't near killed them.

No, they just didn't feel that that was right. There was no, that was it. It was just a message that said, I love you. And that was it. It wasn't, I love you. Hey, talk to you later. It wasn't, you know, hey, take care. or I'm headed out, talk to you later,

can't wait to get home, and nothing like that. And so they went to the Verizon store to track the location of the phone and found out that the text was sent from a residence in, you know, 90 miles away from where she was supposed to be.

So then they, you know, the police came by and, you know, said, hey, we got to, we're going to let you in. I was going to check your place out and he was like, oh, no, no, no, you're not coming in, not allowing you into my house, which I'm glad, actually,

that he did that. Not because I didn't want anything harm to come to the girl, but I make the police do their job. And so they got a search warrant and got a hold of the actual homeowners, not him. He wasn't the homeowner.

He was living in the house. So they got permission to enter the house. and then they, you know, they got in and they found her ID, they found her. And, you know, in those old houses, they have those big coal wells down in the basement where, you know, they'd put the coal. Nobody remembers what they used to do, but it was just, it was a window. And then, you know, the coal truck would come and put the slide down and the call would go into your house. And that's what you burn for heat. This guy still might be doing that, apparently, since she was completely covered in,

coal, but, so he's going down. But good, good, good. But if she had a chip, they wouldn't have had to go through all of that at all. They would have had to just log on to microchip.com. Save alife.com. And there they would have told her, boop, she's 90 miles away from where she's supposed to be. And man, who doesn't want that just to be tracked? And so, you know, it's for your safety.

It is for your safety. And the news that is coming, I mean, the microchips are already being used in, you know, in Sweden and a few other smaller places around the world. But China has now started using an AI prosecutor to charge people with crimes. And they claim that it's got more than a 97% accuracy rating. So, man, it sucks to be that. That's 3% though, doesn't it? So it apparently identifies

dissent against the state and suggest sentences for supposed criminals removing people from the prosecution process. That's great. I mean, who wants people involved in that? So, I mean, according to this, there are already fears that the system could be weaponized

by the Chinese Communist Party wait what no stop it you're you're crazy talk now is what you are you are crazy talk so the tool can file a charge based on a verbal description of the case and was built and tested by the shanghai pudong people's procuratorate purguratorate yeah that's what i said Procurator 8. That's what I said. Okay. Geez, leave me alone.

Wow. So the Shanghai Pudong people's... Procurator 8. Yeah. They're the biggest and busiest. Okay, okay. I got it. So they're the biggest and busiest district in prosecution office in China.

And they're going to... That would allow, according to them, human prosecutors to ease their workload. I mean, hello. They've just got too much work. and it would allow them to focus on more complex cases. Right. You don't want them working on that silly stuff? Let the robot do it, okay?

The system can run on a standard desktop computer, press charges based on a thousand traits from the human-generated case description text. Oh, that's good. That's good. It was trained using 17,000 real-life cases and it's able to identify and press charges for the eight most common crimes in Shanghai. You know, for now.

Those crimes are provoking trouble. I hate provoking trouble, man. You don't want to go down for that. And if the computer and robot says you were provoking trouble, well, then you were provoking trouble. And credit card fraud, gambling crimes, dangerous driving. theft, fraud, intentional injury, and obstructing

official duties. So you do any of those, the robot will shut you down and find you guilty. So, man, that's good news, right? That is good news. There was no information in the story of what happens to the 3%

that get wrong. Does someone realize that it's wrong and they fix it? Is there a computer, watching a computer is there a human actually overseeing the robots and when do we you know who oversees who and what happens if a mistake is made because you don't want to be part of the 3% man if you were part of the 3% and the robot says hey hey hey hey you were you know provoking trouble and you weren't well you want someone on your side right i will say though here in america you know

with the way our judges work, when they have specific guidelines, it isn't, we've lost the ability to have common sense. We've heard that from judges many times in stories in crime, criminal cases, where they say, well, you know, if it was up to me, I would let you off or, you know, have a smaller sentence, but I can't. I have to follow the guidelines. Well, that's what the computer is saying. I wonder if you have the robot, though,

you know, is going to have the the gavel. Because, I mean, when the robot brings the gavel down, you are guilty, my friend. And don't you even think about questioning it, okay? I don't want to hear it.

Because the robot said that you were provoking trouble or that you had credit card fraud or a gambling crime or dangerous driving. Or, you're... or your obstructing official duties. Guilty.
