Starting point is 00:00:00 Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy. Hey, I won! Boating will begin when passenger fisher is done celebrating.
Starting point is 00:00:22 19 plus Ontario only. Please play responsibly. Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close, you call 186653300 or visit Comicsonterio.ca. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Mom? Hi. I'm just calling to let you know our bus driver was pulled over.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Yeah, our driver failed a field sobriety test. They put him in the back of a cop car. How'd you feel if you got that call? So it happened again. Another bus driver pulled over for drunk driving with a bus load.
Starting point is 00:00:58 of students. Wow. So he, this driver from Cheyenne was driving a busload of students to South Dakota and he was arrested for being under the influence and possession of an open container while operating a moving vehicle. That's it though. Just, and he was given warnings for improper lane usage because somebody was following him and they said, hey, that bus driver is kind of swerving from lane to lane, maybe you ought to have somebody check it out. So the Wyoming Highway Patrol pulled him over and gave him the field sobriety test, threw them in the back of the car. Now, they kept the kids, you know, safe and warm inside the bus,
Starting point is 00:01:41 and they got another bus driver to take them to their destination. But the parents were deservedly so a little upset. And so we have another bus driver drunk, driving the kids around. Just incredible. Now, I realized, I looked, I thought, so this is the second time in a week that we've had a drunken bus driver story. So there are a hundred and, according to this, there are 168,61 school bus drivers currently employed in the United States. I would have bet on more. But, okay.
Starting point is 00:02:16 So 53% are women and 42.7% are men. 53.3 are women. So just be careful out there. It does make, every time I see a school. bus on the road now, I do a double take and kind of watch how they're driving and what's going on with it because it seems to be that I know it's only two in the last week out of the 168,000, almost 169,000 school bus drivers or more here in the U.S. But it just feels like it's becoming a real issue.
Starting point is 00:02:54 And perhaps we should be on the lookout for those drunken schools. bus drivers. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. All right, welcome to it. Before I talk to you about what can happen to you if you have an old phone today, let me talk to you about what has the last two years have taught us. Really, if it's taught us anything, it's that you've got to take control of your own health. It's clear that you can't simply rely on government or the big pharma to protect you or your family. That's where Z-Stack comes in. Z-Stack is a specially formulated immune-boosting supplement that includes zinc, Q, C, Corsetin, vitamin C, and vitamin D.

Okay, a number of you are going to lose cell phone service today as AT&T, and today being 2-2-2-2-2-2-2. We'll get to that as the show progresses. AT&T is going to become the first major provider to switch off its 3G communications network. And that's meant to make way for Operation 5G.
Starting point is 00:05:45 So it's going to render any 3G devices incapable of handling calls, text, or accessing the internet without Wi-Fi available. So, okay, good luck. If you're trying to hold out of that old phone, many users are going to be affected. It's unclear. Apple iPhones older than the iPhone 6 will lose function. A 2019 report suggested at least 30 million users still exclusively used 3G devices.
Starting point is 00:06:15 So, okay. And it may affect some home security and medical devices. So T-Mobile is getting rid of 3G in July, and Verizon is getting rid of 3G in July, and Verizon is getting rid of of their 3G December 31st. So how many ever it affects today, those of you that are using T-Mobile and Verizon
Starting point is 00:06:38 will see you need to change. Otherwise, Operation 5G will, we're going to go ahead and pull the plug on those 3G frequencies. I know. Now, 5G is expected to be, you know, 10 times faster than
Starting point is 00:06:55 those on 4G. Okay. And that means that it's 5. hundred times faster than 3G frequencies. So, okay, no problem. But if you were holding out of those old phones, thinking I'm just going to hang on to my old phone, it works fine. Not after today.
Starting point is 00:07:14 And as I said, today, for those of you listening live, it's 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2. And it's a Tuesday. I know. So it's a power shift. according to astrologers In numerology, you reduce. So 222-2022
Starting point is 00:07:38 adds up to 12. Then you add the 1 and 2 to get 3, and that number 3 is consequential after the 1 and the 2. So it reforms the sequence. It's like a new beginning and also self-expression. That's a powerful tool. Oh, all right, cool. Now, does it mean I get any deals or anything?
Starting point is 00:07:57 Yes. Go to Ruby Tuesday, you're going to get $2 mini margaritas and beer. Hey, it's National Margarita Day. And so let's go ahead and do that. Also, astrologers say that the United States is going to experience its first Pluto return. The first time the planet, which is associated with transformation and power, will come back to the position it was when the Declaration of Independence was signed and ratified on July 4th.
Starting point is 00:08:29 1776. So we've got that going for us on 2.2. 2.2. Yay! So if you ran in a helicopter to fly out to the 60,000 ton cargo ship that's burning out in the Atlantic, might be too late. Because, I mean, it's still burning. So you still got a shot.
Starting point is 00:08:53 But maybe do it at night. Because it costs, according to one report, if you were to rent a three-ton capacity helicopter, you can get that for about $4,000 an hour. And then if there was one available out in the Atlantic by the Azores Islands. Is it Azores? The Azores, I believe they call it. So you can get out there and you could get those luxury models parked on the open top deck.
Starting point is 00:09:24 It might be a profitable endeavor, right? so you could arrange a barge nearby, which probably is cheap. You can pick up a barge anywhere. Get that out there, and then you can offload the cars on the barge from the ocean liner, or from the cargo ship, and it'd be fine,
Starting point is 00:09:41 but you need to get that done. Because apparently now, they, I mean, they know how many years on it, and it's still burning, and it was, they would just abandon it, right? I mean, they got the crew members off, and it was an estimated carrying 4,000 cars from Voltzwe,
Starting point is 00:09:56 group, including 189 Bentley's, 1,100 Porsches, and it was, you know, it's just on fire out there. Now, um, they said that, uh, the philosophy ace, the ship,
Starting point is 00:10:12 could carry more than 17,000 metric tons of cargo. So that's thousands of vehicles, multiple decks in their hold. The Volkswagen group said in a brief statement that, uh, the cargo ship was transporting to the U.S. vehicles that the German automaker produced. They declined to comment on what consequences the incidents might have for U.S. customers or the VW group.
Starting point is 00:10:36 The ship's operator said, yeah, we can't provide any information about the cargo. Sorry. Well, we know that it was carrying Porsches and Bentley's and Lamborghinis and the cost Volkswagen Group at least 155 million. The other automakers is going to cost them about 246 million. efforts to rain in the fire this past weekend were complicated by the fact that many of the cars on board are electric vehicles with lithium ion batteries which require specialized firefighting equipment so maybe you still got a chance if you've run of that helicopter you've got the barge out there maybe you still got a shot i would try to make that happen soon though that's just me i would try to make it happen soon good luck let's uh you know take you know take it happen soon good luck let's uh you know take some pictures and let me see some tic-ttocks of the cars being airlifted to the barge that's all i care
Starting point is 00:11:29 about all right let's go to the break room i need something cold to drink desperately oh oh oh my gosh so good so congratulations to brittany spears uh she just signed a new publishing deal for a tell all memoir uh that's worth uh about 15 million million dollars. Oh, okay. Cool. Simon and Schuster said they've secured the deal for the pop stars memoir. Is there something we don't know? I mean, I guess it's in her own words and we can find out exactly, you know, how she was viewing things, but I mean, is the book just going to be her Instagram account? I mean, we know. I don't know if there's something we don't know, especially in the last couple of years. So apparently, you know, I get it that it's going to be her view of, you know, her
Starting point is 00:12:27 rise to fame, her music career, her relationship with her family. So is that worth 15 million? I guess. I guess it is. If I'm Brittany, I'm asking for a little bit more than 15 million. But maybe she, you know, this is vacation money for her. So she doesn't have dad providing any cash anymore. So she needs to have a little extra cash in the bank. So we'll sign the book deal. And if you think that Brittany is writing that herself, think again, because I doubt that's probably going to happen. Also, congratulations are in order to Courtney Cox. I know. Now, the last time I saw Courtney, I saw a picture of her and I went, ooh, Courtney, you are, we may even mention it here because she was on the three cuts to clownface road. She's definitely walking on that road. However,
Starting point is 00:13:16 congratulations to Courtney because she realized that she was walking on clown face road and stopped. She turned around. I know. She, she, said, look, I'm turning 60 in the near future, and I just looked at myself and I thought, whoa, I am actually looking really strange with injections and doing stuff to my face. Yeah, yeah, you were, baby. And so now she stopped it. She said she's not doing any of that anymore. So, and that's the deal, right?
Starting point is 00:13:51 The Three Cuts to Clown Face, the new kind of theory that I was trying to work through with you is that the three. cuts to clown face theory is still true. But in today's world, with the injections, they're not getting cuts. So I don't know if you just cut out the injections that you go back to, you know, the normal
Starting point is 00:14:09 older face, or if you're going to have to do it slowly and gradually, so the skin tightens up, maybe you go away for a month or two, and, you know, let the skin tighten up, do a little exercising, get a little sun,
Starting point is 00:14:25 a little salt water in the ocean, you know, and embrace what you got. But congratulations to her because she was looking really strange and she realized it. She didn't keep going. So she said that she had all her fillers dissolved and she believed she's looking more like herself. Good for you, Courtney Cox. And also, congratulations to Adele. Apparently, I know I got sick of talking about her and I'm sick.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I still am sick of talking about her because she's just an agonizing little whining. a little, well, you know. But apparently the show, the canceled show, is now going to be rescheduled for this summer at Caesar's Palace. Apparently, they've worked out a deal now to book up the yet unfilled dates at Caesar's Palace because they've got Keith Urban, Rod Stewart, and Sting booked. And I guarantee you that Keith Urban,
Starting point is 00:15:19 who said he would step up and take the holes that Adele left, you can write your own jokes. And Rod Stewart and Sting, they come in and they, They're going to play. They aren't going to whine and say, we had to cancel. I'm so sorry. It was COVID. And then we find out it really wasn't.
Starting point is 00:15:39 But, you know, the story. So she's committed to do the show. And we'll see how that works out. And just how good that darn show is. So Weekends with Adele is back on. And, boy, I'm just as excited as you. Did you watch any of the promised land on ABC? Because if you did, you were the only one.
Starting point is 00:16:04 So ABC has pulled the plug on the promised land show, which debuted the end of January, just a month ago, less than a month ago. And they've already pulled the plug. Yeah, it was part of the patriarch of the Latinx family, who achieved power by a sign was a wine producer. He saw the promos. I think they even had a big promo during the Super Bowl. I think. Anyway,
Starting point is 00:16:28 so they just pulled the plug on it already. It was like four or five shows. Yeah, no. This week is the last week on ABC. Now they're shipping it over to Hulu to, you know, let the final episodes that they've already recorded air on Hulu, but they're pulling the plug.
Starting point is 00:16:45 So nobody was watching. Boy, that's a surprise. Isn't it? It's a surprise to me that nobody would watch a, you know, Latin X family. who achieved power by starting a successful wine producer in California, Sonoma Valley. And, well, it's just the family integral working parts of that. That's a surprise.
Starting point is 00:17:08 It is to me. I'm sure it is to you as well. And what about Wendy Williams? Her show is history now, too, right? So it's going to be canceled. She's out. They've canceled her and cut her off a couple of times and then brought her back. And so now I know she did some video on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:17:26 where she's walking along the beach and she's been struggling with her illness and she's got other issues and she's trying to regain control of her personal narrative. Now, I, you know, the only part of Wendy Williams show that I have actually watched
Starting point is 00:17:43 are the clips from time to time. I hadn't sat down and watched the entire professional, beautiful broadcast of the Wendy Williams show. But I know that some of the behind the scenes chat was that she had been, become, according to this, somewhat unbearable, having tantrums and throwing things at people. It usually doesn't end well for the host when that kind of thing happens.
Starting point is 00:18:06 So basically, the consensus among the crew is that she didn't want to be here anymore. Her illnesses may have exasperated that feeling. She's had multiple issues with health. And so she's gone. Have a nice day. It's over for Wendy. Does she come back? We can only hope.
Starting point is 00:18:26 I want to thank everybody for those of you that are emailing me chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Thank you so much. Those of you that are tweeting me at Jeffrey JFR, Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio and Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio, who are following me. Thank you. Get her as Jeffrey JFR. I don't know about the Trump, truth, social, whatever the hell it is. It was a nightmare to figure out yesterday. So I just kind of let it slide.
Starting point is 00:18:50 But I am on there and we'll see how that goes. but I wanted to thank the people who forwarded this to me on Twitter about Mavis L-W-A-N-C-Z-Y. Mavis, capital L, period, W-A-N-C-Z-Y. It's at Mavis underscore L-Wancy underscore K. Now, apparently, Mavis says that she, I'm guessing Mavis is a she, the winner of 758 million seven hundred thousand dollars on from the power ball lottery and she's she says am grateful and willing to give out two hundred thousand dollars to my first two thousand followers and right now she has according to my screenshot has her at one hundred and ninety she may have more that's
Starting point is 00:19:41 just shy of two thousand followers now i'm afraid to click on this and follow her but that when i looked at the the twitter account it says follow back and I was amazed that Mavis is following me. Mavis, if this is real, just direct message me and send me the cash. Okay, I'm not going to follow and I'm not going to send any info to you. Just so we're clear. I know, you know, we do a lot of joking around and, you know, these are good deals. But if this is, if you're really considerate and caring person that I believe you are,
Starting point is 00:20:18 uh, direct message me, uh, or email me. me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com, and we'll figure out a way, I promise that you can get me the $200,000. I promise you that. We will figure out a way. But until then, I'm not going to be clicking on or sending anything to you, okay? Just not going to happen. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your
Starting point is 00:21:06 travel bug, but your taste. Buds 2. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Okay, so romance scams have reached an all-time high this past year, up nearly 80% since 2020. I know. And have you watched Tindler Swindler yet? The Tinder Swindler on Netflix yet? I haven't made it all the way through. I started and I had to stop if something came up. I wasn't watching it. stopped running, but I understand the premise of the scam, and you can pretty much see it. It's an interesting story.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I'm looking forward to finishing it up, but according to Netflix, it already has over 64 million hours viewed since it debuted in a true crime documentary. It's been one of the most popular projects. All right, cool. So, I mean, the Tinder
Starting point is 00:21:59 Swindler, tells the story of the Israeli conman who used the dating app to locate individuals and then, you know, emotionally, you know, get them to support him. And you can kind of tell it's what's happening. And I get the, I know it's a con. I know it is.
Starting point is 00:22:22 I get it. But if you got conned by this guy, you were in love. And that was the deal, right? I know. I get it. It just, it's so. According to this, there were 56. thousand romance scams reported to the FTC in 2021.
Starting point is 00:22:42 The median individual loss for people scammed out of crypto by a catfish was $9,770. So with the highest individual losses by people 70 and older, wow. And the FTC warned that savvy scammers have had success with every age, bracket. Even Screamtime champions in the 18 to 29 bracket reported 10 times the amount of scams from 2017 to 2021. So just amazing. Be prepared for that. If you, you know, if you're in love and you believe the guy or girl, okay. I mean, there's stories all the time. The one story has got the one froster, the lady who lost $108,000, $108,000. $108,000. I mean, I feel bad for the people who are getting scammed or catfished out of that.
Starting point is 00:23:45 But if you figured it out by nine grand, you're up. You had the love. You had the chance. And at 9,000, you decided, hey, I'm being scammed here. So according to the FTC, people have lost $1.3 billion to romance scams in the last five years. 547 million of that came in 2021. Wow. So, I mean, it was only 87 million in 2017.
Starting point is 00:24:15 So the scams are up, baby. The scams are up. Keep your head on a swivel. That's my latest Netflix show. I'm looking to get produced head on a swivel. And that's going to be, you know, protect you from the tindler. I keep on to call it tindlers. Tinder swindlers out there.
Starting point is 00:24:34 just incredible times. And then I see where we've got Tinder for teens. The Yubo app is a popular teen dating app, and it's being accused of facilitating sexual harassment, racism, and other sord activities. Oh, no. Oh, no. The app available U.S. and the UK has been dubbed Tinder for Teens. it invites teens as young as 13 to match with potential dates and even interact with about
Starting point is 00:25:08 100 other teenagers. What I have heard about this site is sickening, says the Britain's Minister for Tech and Digital Economy. What you've heard about it? I mean, maybe you go on the app and check it out there, Britain's Minister of Tech and Digital Economy. The teen-targeting network sparked outrage among teachers in the UK who sent parents a letter cautioning due to the nature of this app your child may come across content that is not
Starting point is 00:25:36 appropriate to them. Oh, no. A Times reporter spent 10 days posing as a 15-year-old on Y-Bo. I guess it's Y-O-B-O-U-B-O, which she noted didn't require an age verification. Yeah, there's no way to get around those age verifications. But anyway, so I guess it's, you know, if your kid is on the old Yubo, you might want to, you know, take a look. Just take a look. See if it's, you know, what they say it is or what it isn't. Now, Twitter apparently has stopped porn in Germany. Yeah, good luck.
Starting point is 00:26:15 They say they're blocking porn in Germany. Okay. You know, good luck. I mean, it is everywhere. And so good luck blocking it. I don't know that, you know, maybe they can. I mean, I know social media websites, meta and Instagram and Snapchat don't allow pornography and remove it when they find it.
Starting point is 00:26:37 On Reddit and Twitter, pornography is allowed and it's there. I know Google announced big privacy updates, I don't know, a week or so ago, that's supposed to limit the ability of advertisers to track Android users, you know, across apps, especially, you know, according to them when it's done covertly. one specific change will get rid of advertising ID, which is a unique alpha-numeric code attached to each Android user. Yeah, I don't know that that is actually going to work or is working. I mean, I'm still getting ads.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And when I talk about things like I'm talking about now, those ads show up on my phone. So, okay. A matter has said that, you know, the Apple privacy update is going to cost them $10 billion in lost revenue. Oh, no. Oh, no. They've got to find a new way to get those ads to me. All right.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Well, good luck. Gosh, darn it. And Google says that its changes won't be like apples. Oh, okay. Well, if that's what you say, then no problem. We need to, you know, preserve privacy, right? That's correct. That needs to happen.
Starting point is 00:27:50 And look, we care so much about your privacy. We care so much about your privacy. your privacy, that we're going to implement these changes in a couple of years. We want to give everybody a chance to adjust and be ready for it. So we're going to keep doing what we're doing right now, and we'll tell you what we're going to implement in a couple of years, and we'll see if that works out for you. So you're still going to get those ads for right now,
Starting point is 00:28:18 but we're going to work on that and get back to you on it. So don't you worry about it. Your privacy is our top concern. And I have a tough time. Back to the teenage Tinder or Tinder for teens, I have a tough time being angry at words. I just have a tough time at words. So if I'm on a site and someone starts discussing, you know, drugs,
Starting point is 00:28:48 which apparently they do and they're not supposed to, or, you know, they're trying to talk about doing drugs, off of a body part, you know, and asking for nude picks. You know, I mean, no. And they don't really, you know, if, I know, they're teens and they're not responsible for anything. And you hope that you've educated your kids to be no of this kind of stuff and know the difference between real and not real.
Starting point is 00:29:23 but when you, you know, say things that are presumed to be racist. You know, the example they give in the story, it doesn't sound racist to me. It just sounds like it's a way for them to come on to each other. But apparently, according to this person, the line, I would let him pick my cotton any day. that's over the top racism. Okay. Oh, sure. If you take it that way,
Starting point is 00:29:57 it absolutely is then. I get it. And, you know, this was said to a 16-year-old black male. Okay. And it was reportedly told to him. Not, there was no, there's no part of the story that says
Starting point is 00:30:10 of someone who actually said it. But was it meant as a racist thing? Or was it actually a, you know, being nice saying, I want that guy. He's hot looking. I don't know. I really just have a tough time with it.
Starting point is 00:30:26 I know. It's just me. Just leave me alone. Don't say anything bad to anyone. Don't talk about anything bad to anyone. And be nice and love all your people that you come in contact with at all times. Okay? All right.

Starting point is 00:31:26 All right, so we know that the UK is scrapping their COVID rules. good. Our man wants to keep his gig. So he's scrapping all the rules in the United Kingdom. They became the first major Western economy to eliminate government COVID restrictions, such
Starting point is 00:31:46 as the requirement to self-isolate once testing positive. The British Medical Association say, oh, no, that's a little premature. Oh, okay. We know that Australia is opening up its borders again to
Starting point is 00:32:02 international travel for the first time in nearly two years. I don't know really what that means. You know, if you have to come in and, you know, quarantine. Yeah, you can come in, but you've got to, you know, test pre and post. And if we test positive, then we're going to quarantine you in some little cottage behind a fence. I don't know. I do know that they had their first shark killing a human in 60 years in Australia, just a little bit ago, like a week or so ago.
Starting point is 00:32:30 so okay where sharks are attacking humans in Australia, yeah, let's open up international travel. That's fine. According to people who saw it, they said that we were all in a little shock. Yeah, no kidding. Witnesses said,
Starting point is 00:32:48 look, we saw the swimmer get pulled under the water by a large shark, bloody attack lasted for several seconds. They said the person suffered catastrophic injuries and there was nothing they could do. Now they closed the beaches up for, you know, I don't know, a day and they looked for sharks and, you know, they were out there saying don't swim and stuff. So maybe the
Starting point is 00:33:10 sharks will go away when there's no bodies out there. But you know what? I sure sharks are eating people, but let's open up international travel again. Shall we? That's a good call. Whatever. We could do what we want. We're Australia. But I also see that here in the U.S., so restaurants and movie theaters, people, are starting to come back to, but a little less, a little more hesitant to come back to the office. Wait, what? They're going out to eat and going to movie theaters, but they're not going back into the office? That's correct.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Oh, okay. I know Microsoft said that they were going to open up their offices, I think, at the end of this month, whether that's changed or not. I'm not sure. I don't think so, though. But they were talking about the rate of return. you know, in the office building card swipes were down dramatically. But the rate of return to restaurants and movie theaters were at like 58% prior to the pandemic, which is good news for them.
Starting point is 00:34:21 I mean, hello. That means that things are coming back a little bit. We're only, when you're looking at, you know, 23% of card swipes going back in to the office. Okay. I mean, pre-pandemic. I know they were, they were higher than that in December.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Seems to me they were, but, you know, people were going back to work and, you know, cleaning the desk out and then they were going to go home for the holidays and then not come back for a while, right? Because of Amacron. So that was, and that was only like 41% of people going back to the office
Starting point is 00:34:57 to the numbers of the, you know, pre-pandemic numbers. So that wasn't even 50% then. And now it's down to less than 25%. Okay. But people are happy to go see a movie and go out to dinner. But, ooh, yeah, no, I can't. I can't go back to work.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Be in an office? No, no, no, no. We were still in a pandemic. Oh, okay. Sure. Whatever you say. Okay. No worries.
Starting point is 00:35:28 And then we have Ukraine issue happening. and we've got Canada issue happening. We've got our own problems. All right. I barely, barely care about Ukraine. I know I should. I know. I should.
Starting point is 00:35:44 And I do. I don't want anybody to get hurt. I already said earlier in this show. Just get along with everybody and love everybody. Okay? Let's all get along. Don't say anything mean either. Don't say anything mean.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Don't look at anybody mean. You just love each other. Okay. That's the way it's supposed to be. and I hope Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, remembers that today. Okay, I know he thinks that the situation is still fragile.
Starting point is 00:36:10 There were signs that truckers might attempt another occupation. We're there, Justin, were there. But, okay, let's just lock them down and not let them have any money, and we're going to sell their trucks. We sell them their trucks, too, by the way. If you're going after the companies that owned the trucks, if they weren't independent truckers and we're going to shut them down
Starting point is 00:36:33 and lock some of their money down. Who's buying the trucks? Anyway, it's just a question I have. So, I just want to know. We're just going to completely get rid of all these people, right? We're going to make it so they can't make any money and they can't live their lives. That will help.
Starting point is 00:36:51 That will make everybody happy. Won't it? It sure will. Don't kid yourself. they'll be they'll feel better and they will be ready to bend the knee to you justin if you just take all their money take all their opportunity to a way to make any money and make them live on the streets those bastards yeah that will go over well don't it's just incredible incredible times and then i see just speaking of incredible times amazing now you know we have the i did the chris
Starting point is 00:37:30 Cruz and I do a little Royals special podcast on Saturdays once in a while. We've done a couple in the last month because there's been so much, you know, royals news. And I know, you know, it's a small audience that likes to hear about the Royals. And I am in that small audience. But I see where, you know, we know that the queen has COVID and they're concerned about it. She's 95 and she's had a number of other health issues recently. So, you know, they want to make sure that she's, and she's healthy for a 90s.
Starting point is 00:38:00 year old, absolutely, but you don't want her to get COVID. Now, I believe there's another side story to that of her and Charles getting COVID. However, I see where they did a news report with the queen and she's, of the medicine she's taking. And one of the medicines was the antibodies. And then they showed a box of some named medicine, but the medicine was ivermectin. I mean, some of these people here in the United States should be, questioned, questioned. Why the hate for Ivermectin?
Starting point is 00:38:36 I realize that Charlie's wife should take Ivermectin because it's horse-based, and Camilla is known for her love of horses. But it's just incredible. Now, if you're a side note of that, like I said, the side story, I teased what I thought was behind. kind Charles and the queen getting COVID. On Saturday, I surmised that it was William who was making sure that dad and grandma get COVID and, you know, perhaps they don't make it.
Starting point is 00:39:17 And then he is king, right? But I was thinking that it might be Kate. And because that way William has his hands clean. And Kate is just making sure that Harry and the queen grandma gets COVID and if Camilla drops even after the horse paste oh well I mean I don't want her to drop but if she were to
Starting point is 00:39:45 I mean it wouldn't be that bad of a thing would it so I see where a New York City woman has appeared to have been cured of HIV I thought we were I mean I guess cured of HIV and then just living with it is two different things right? It sure is, death. Okay. So apparently the woman suffered from leukemia and she would
Starting point is 00:40:07 represent the fourth known case of HIV, not B, HIV, you don't want none of that, but HIV is being cured, being successfully cured by doctors. While previous patients received bone marrow transplants from donors with an HIV blocking genetic mutation, the new procedure relied
Starting point is 00:40:27 on umbilical, umbilical, I cannot speak, speak umbilical cord stem cells with similar mutations i mean i've had stem cell treatments in my knees and i did not work well so and i remember one knee doc saying uh so you've had stem cells yes and he was like i i don't think he didn't believe in it so good i'm glad that at least the some stem cells from umbilical cords are working and and curing the HIV that this lady had so researchers say the use of cord-derived cells is less invasive as less severe side effects and requires only a partial donor match versus bone marrow transplants. The patient was reportedly able to leave the hospital two and a half weeks after treatment. Two other cases of, I cannot, what is going on with?
Starting point is 00:41:19 I should just stop and start again. Two other cases of patients naturally clearing the virus have been identified. Okay, I mean, good. That's good news, right? And since I can't even speak anymore, I've just wrapped this thing up. I was going to give you a special today's think about it section here at the end of the show. Hopefully I'll be able to get through it. This comes from contemplative monk.com seven cardinal rules for life.
