We have a fox in the henhouse, or we did have a fox in the henhouse. We saw the video of the fox running around the capital in D.C. What we didn't know is that like nine people got bitten. That should tell you something about the Brainiacs in D.C. Wild fox running around it bites nine people? No? do something different, punch him in the phase, do something, but they have captured it and they captured it humanely.

They put it, they put a little tarp over them and put them in a cage, and they took them off to the side. And then, then, only then did we? I mean, we euthanized it humanely, of course. There's no way that the people in D.C. would have said, oh, come here, little Foxy. So they tested it. It did test positive.

rabies so now you've got a contact trace everyone that's was bitten all nine or problem could be more in DC that was bitten by this Fox then Fox is nipping at you and you don't do anything no no honey no that is not gonna happen Fox comes running up to you like that with you know looking to bite you like that no you're going down actually probably not gonna happen in DC but I could and it was certainly would happen in the great state of Texas. I'll tell you what. But then they also found that the Fox

had babies had babies known as kits. Apparently Fox babies are called kits. And they were found and captured. But there was no word if they had to be euthanized or not.

I'm sure that if they were put down they were put down humanely. There's no way that anyone in D.C. is going, here, Fox little babies, little kids, come here, babies. I mean, I don't know

how many there were. They didn't say how many babies they found, because usually, I think you know, the mom gives birth to four or five cubs. So, you don't know how many babies there were. We only, I mean, we only put down three. Well, four, if you

the mom or the or the dad and uh you know so i'm not sure how many they put down but anyway rest at ease dc at least for now the fox with rabies has been put down and you're safe so if you know anyone that was bitten by this particular fox or any fox in dc i have them contact officials immediately because uh man you could start wandering around aimlessly like you don't know what you're doing and don't know what you're saying and you could almost be like the president now that won't happen welcome welcome to chewing the fat so today's the day that tiger woods is back at the masters i know i can't stop thinking about it i was looking at the airport the augusta regional airport now during the masters they expand their operations with

direct flights from New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Miami, and Austin coming into Augusta. And that's a big deal when the Masters is going on. But the airport also said, yeah, we get about 15 to 1,600 corporate jets. Yeah, a lot of private jets parking on a runway. In fact, they closed a runway just to be a parking lot for these private jets. So it's pretty cool. So they say on average about 30 or 35,000 people go through this. airport during the Masters.

So they hire, I mean, it's an employment, right? They hire 100 additional employees. Every aircraft has to be parked by a parking team. Then they get passengers off and on the ground to transportation. They have to take care of the aircraft.

They have to fuel it. They have to make sure if it needs an auxiliary power unit. They have to make sure that if there's catering, that the food has to be up done. I can't be expected to fly out of Augusta and not have some sort of snack on board. That can't happen, okay?

They go through 500,000 gallons of fuel over the course of a week. And we saw a tiger fly in last week. So he's got a prime parking space. He got there early. Now, the guy who's in charge of the airport said he was most in awe meeting Arnold Palmer. I guess maybe he never met Tiger. Maybe he wasn't there when Tiger landed early on. I don't know.

so we'll see. So they say that a lot of the players arrive via net jets, which is a private time share for the jets. So entry level, private jet service

for net jets, smallest plane, starts at $6,500 an hour. Of course, over the week, I mean, aircrafts that cost well into the millions

are going to make their way to the runway, the G5s, the G650s, those start about 50 million. Ha, ha, ha, ha. That's fun to have, though. Man, if you can afford a private plane, that is the way to travel.

Man, I have flown commercial. I have flown private, and private is the way to go. I obviously do not have my own plane. I know. I should. There's no question. But I've decided that, you know what, 50 million for that new G650. You know what?

I'm just not going to spend that. If I need a private plane, I'll get the $6,500 an hour one. Okay? All right. But I'm not going to have one of my own. That's the way to do it. Because your time is so important.

And if you've got to travel places for business, it's your time that costs you money. So to have to wait and go through a TSA checkpoint to get somewhere is just, how about no? How about no? And I see, in long as we were talking about, talking about airlines, I see where some flight attendants are suing.

I know they're suing against the Biden mask mandate because they say they were weaponized to be mask enforcers. Yeah, yeah, you were. And it looked as though, and I could be wrong of this. It appeared to me that you were all doing a great job of it. Weren't you? Yes, you were. We saw a lot of videos where it showed that you were doing a great job of it.

You liked being the old weaponized mask enforcers because you didn't never, now maybe that's what we're seeing. I know. Don't. If you're a flight attendant, I got it. I got it. I know flight attendants. And I know that many of them go out of their way and went out of their way to help people out.

and what we see on video are the worst case scenarios. I know. I know. But a group of nine flight attendants suing to end the mask mandate on planes. And she said has created a really hostile environment for all of us. Yeah. No kidding. It most definitely has.

And I believe that's actually what's affected a lot of the bad blood on the airlines that we see even more to this day. I mean, I don't know if it affected this. guy flying from Seattle to Phoenix this past weekend. But apparently four times of pleasuring yourself on a flight, that's one too many. I know. So a woman sitting next to this guy on a flight took pictures. And when he fell asleep, she, after about an hour of, you know, diddling with himself,

she told the flight attendants and they let her move. and so when the plane landed she told police, look, she's seen him dittling with himself on four separate occasions during the flight. So my man was taking care of a little personal business on this flight, four times. Four times. Now, he told the FBI,

look, I asked her if it was okay. And she said, okay. So I thought, all right. That's the Louis C. thing. He asked and they said yes. Only that was the power struggle. They weren't unable to say, they were unable to say

no. Maybe that's what this lady thought to. She couldn't say no. So he said, his actual quote was, I asked the woman if she minded whether I masturbate. And she said that she put her hands in the air and said it really doesn't matter. Well, there you go.

That really doesn't matter. And so he said, hey, I thought it was kind of kinky. I just thought I'd, you know, play with myself here on the plane. So the pilot had the police notified, and they picked him up at the old landing strip there. And they placed the passenger on the no-fly list, resulting in a lifetime ban from traveling on Southwest. I thought you could sit anywhere on the Southwest planes anyway. So allowing her, this lady to move, she could have just got up and moved anyway. Unless, of course, it was a full flight.

We've all gotten out those Southwest Airlines, man. And you sit down. I remember one time I was so happy to have the middle seat empty. I sat down on the aisle seat, and there was a lady sitting next to the window. So we had the middle seat between us. And I looked at her, she looked at me, and the crowd was still coming on. And I remember telling her, think big. Just think fat.

It's easy for me because I already am. But you, you need to think big. Just think big. Don't look at any of the people walking by. I used to do this. I used to do this on the train. When I was taking the train into Manhattan every day, just think big. You don't need to do the man spread and spread out, although it helps sometimes because

people don't want to bother with it. But you just, you got to think big. And just think big. And people just continue to walk by. So we had the empty seat on the flight. It was awesome. Anyway, that's what she, if it was, she was. on Southwest, you've got got up and moved.

But apparently, no, she just said, you know, all right. What really doesn't matter, does it? Well, no, my guess not. So anyway, four times. Four times of dealing with yourself on Southwest Airlines means that you get a lifetime ban

and you're on the no-fly list. So remember that, all right? Don't do it four times. That's a helpful hint. You're welcome. And going back to Tiger, I see where he wasn't wearing Nike golf shoes on his practice rounds. I don't know what he's wearing today on the course for the first round.

I see where he pared the first hole. And, you know, I re-tweeted actually the master's tweet at Jeffrey JFR. You can see the first hole, which he pard. But they were, they asked about it. They asked Nike like, you, Nike, why come he's not wearing Nike? shoes. And so Nike responded with like golf fans around the world. We are delighted to see Tiger back on the course. He is an incredible athlete, and it is phenomenal to see him returning to the game at this level. His story continues to transcend sport and inspire us all. As he continues his return,

we will work with him to meet his new needs. Reading between the lines, as we like to do here on Chewing the Fat, Nike will have a new pair of shoes to Tiger ASAP. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Oh, so good. So the Emmys, I'm a fan of the Emmys, no question, but they have announced their latest 2022 Emmys will take place September 12th, which is a Monday.

The show will air live coast to coast from 8 to 11 p.m. on NBC. So the ceremony usually takes place on Sunday Except when NBC has the broadcast rights Because NBC is like, yeah, we do an NFL game on Sunday night So you're not going to you're not going to air your Emmy Awards So we don't care if you go up against Monday night football Which you will lose to But we don't, you're not going to try to

We're not preempting any NFL games for the Emmys, okay So that's going to happen And you know, I know we talked to this about with the Grammys and particularly with the Oscars, but I mean, these award shows are really done. They don't need to be, the networks have spent a lot of money on these award shows, so they're going to continue to air at least until the contracts run out. But really, they should air on YouTube and just be cut up into clips

so the Emmys should just broadcast everything either on YouTube or on Rumble or whatever, whatever site they do other than the networks, because we're done with them. And I think social media has done that to them. You know, I really do. I think we, you know, we see everything, we watch everything, we see there's the stars and what they say and what they look like. It used to be at least we didn't get a look at the stars except for these award shows. Now, you know, they're everywhere. So what's the point of seeing them at the awards show?

And we have to wait for the nominations anyway until July for the 74th Emmy Awards. So July 12th, we'll find out who they feel is worth being nominated. Oh, and the Oscars, the Academy meets today. As a matter of fact, today, if you're listening live or listening on recording, it's the 7th of April at the time of this recording, 2022. The Motion Picture Academy Board of Governors are going to meet tomorrow. I said today, I apologize. They're going to meet tomorrow to discuss Will Smith's slap of Chris Rock at the

askers. What are the odds? They just put a pause on it. We met. We're deciding Will has stepped down, and we're deciding what we're going to do. We haven't come to a decision yet. We'll let you know. It's either that or they say we're not going to do

anything. And while it's ridiculous, Mr. Rock has not done anything. Mr. Smith has been going to rehab and he's left the academy. So we're done. Thank you. Have a nice day. And I see where it's taken two, not one but two artists, to replace Yay at Coachella, which we talked about happening,

you know, April 15th through the 17th and then the 22nd through the 24th. Yay dropped out. And so the weekend and the Swedish House Mafia are going to replace Yay at Coachella. I mean, okay. It takes more than one to replace my man, Yay. wound up anyway. He's pissed that Forbes has listed him at being

$2 billion. I'm sorry, worth $2 billion. We haven't gone over the Forbes list. We've got to do that. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow to break down the Forbes list. But they claim that he's worth $2 billion. And I think one of the reports was $1.8 billion, but

I mean, Ye is worth at least $2 billion. But Ye is saying, oh, hey, hey, hey, my true fortune is like $7 billion. Okay? I'm worth a lot more than $2 billion. So you know he's been hanging around with Donald Trump.

Don't undercut me, bro. Also, I see where Netflix has added a new category on their app that says gives you film the short films. And, you know, it's under an hour and 40 minutes long. And so, you know, I remember when Pete Davidson, was, you know, hollering at Netflix to have a short-ass movie. Yeah, my legs are falling asleep. Oh, okay. I don't know if Pete understands the whole idea of watching movies at your home,

that, you know, one of the things that makes it nice to watch films at your home is that you have a remote. there's a thing that is a remote control that, you know, turns the power on and off of your viewing device. And it also has a button called pause. So if you have to get up, use the breastroom, make yourself some popcorn, get a bowl of ice cream, make sure that your legs are not falling asleep, then you can unpause it. And you just hit that pause button. And then you walk back in and you click it again.

and the movie starts right up right where you had paused it. Almost is like you didn't even leave. It's an amazing. I mean, technology is a wonderful thing. Maybe someone should point that out to Pete. And speaking to pause on things, I see if you are listening to this program, chewing the fat, thank you.

I appreciate it. If you're listening and you're not a subscriber, nobody likes a freeloader. Okay, so go ahead and subscribe. You can choose whatever platform you want. You can even choose. the platform that you're listening. If your friend has let you listen to the show on the platform that they like,

you can choose that platform as well. But nobody likes a freeloader. Okay? Anyway, if you have a college student loan, that's been paused now, again through August 31st, so you don't have to make any payments. That's great. And people are still angry about that. They're saying, no.

I mean, there's people in Washington, D.C. that want to just make them all go away. poof, you don't owe anybody anything. So I would like to propose this. If your student loan gets wiped off the debt sheet, which, you know, fine. If you're going to wipe off loan debt, let me get in line. But I don't have any student loan debts. I got my, actually, that's another story.

Never mind. I'm not going to get into my student loan debt story. But just know that if you... go and say, yes, I want my student loan debt wiped off the face of the earth. I don't want to have to owe anybody, anything for the school that I went to. How about if you got a degree,

you have to turn that into? You just don't have a degree anymore. It doesn't count. You don't have to pay, and you don't get the degree. What do you say? How about that? You think somebody will go for that?

Not a chance. Or the three ensemble CIFRA of the FACs that I just need to denichy that's ennergues O'Ten? Mm, it's the ensemble. The form of standard

and mini, regrouped, call O'Bemann. And the embellage, too beau, who is practically to give to them. And I know

I'd like the summer Fridays and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. Mm, I'm, the more ensemblese the best of

CIFRA des Summer Fridays, Rare Beauty, Way, Cifora collection, and other, part of VIT, Procurrouped for

a better quality of price, on line, on c4, or in a magazine. I see where my man Mattress Mac is fighting back from his losses. I mean, he's lost a bunch of money. Mattress Mac from the Houston area, bets money on sporting events and has deals for his stores and stuff.

And we've talked about how Mattress Mac goes about his business, where, you know, if you bat and you win, you get, you know, you get your furniture free. And if now you have to pay for it along with his bets, that's his deal. but he won $12.2 million on Kansas on the National Championship men's basketball game. He, which is good. I mean, he's 12.2 million. That's not a bad day. Now, before the final four, he wagered $5.5 million to win $10.5 million on Kansas at plus $190. And then he bet $3.3 million at Caesar's Sportsbook and $2.25 million at

Barstool Sportsbook. Then he doubled down at Caesars before the game Monday and made another $3.3 million bet to win $1.65 million of the Jayhawks on the money line at $200. So it snapped his losing streak. Now, he's dropped about $25 million since the 2021 Super Bowl. So he's still not quite even, but he's fighting back. He's fighting back. Nice to see Mattress Mac fight back. Speaking of mattresses, you see where Hillary Clinton admitted on the podcast, you and me both with Hillary Clinton. I bet you that is a riveting podcast. But she admitted that she and Bill took the mattress from the White House when they left in 2001. I think we've documented they took more than that when they left. They are not good people. But

She said there was a listener voicemail to her podcast. Thanks for, you know, we've been doing that on this show for quite some time. Good idea there, Hillary. My question for you is, were the beds in the White House comfortable things? Hillary said they were very comfortable. I would like to hear, I'm going to have to get the audio for this. We've got to hear Hillary's answer to this in her voice. I know it's bad, so I'll just tell you what she said.

They were very comfortable. And I have to tell you that the mattress in the White House was so comfortable that, you know, when we moved, since the White House would provide a new mattress for our successor, we said, can we take the mattress with us? Yeah, I bet they asked. I bet they asked. They just said throw it in the back of the truck. I guarantee you. That's what they, they said, sure, we're just going to throw it away otherwise. So literally, we had that mattress for 20 years. In fact, we have just bought a new mattress. It was that comfortable for that long. Well, I mean, you can make the argument when you have one person sleeping on that big old

mattress throughout the years. It probably lasts a lot longer than when you have two people on it because I doubt very much that Hillary and Bill were sleeping on the same bed. But, I don't know. I could be wrong. I also, did you see the video of O.J. Simpson with the three women and everybody's making a big deal about OJ and, you know, the three women. I watched that video. Now, OJ's sound asleep. It's 1 o'clock in the morning and these babes come. There's another guy in the house and they come in and they're going to wake him up in the

middle of the night. Some parties going on. They've been out partying and doing whatever. And the group of young, they make a big deal out of it's young white women, wake up a shirtless OJ at 1 a.m. Details are scarce on what precisely any of the. parties are actually doing there. But the imagery is definitely

striking. Isn't there at his house, their party in the middle of the night, OJ's in bed sleeping and they wake his ass up? He's probably pissed. What are you doing? Leave me alone. I mean, you know, yours truly here. I'm a fan of OJ.

My man's been, you know, he's a lot of hot water over the years. And you know why. I mean, you know that OJ's had some issues. And, you know, in this story, they talk about how the videos that have gone viral from O.J. A clip of him trying to kiss a woman recently blew up in the internet. He's at a bar and this lady is doing a video and saying, it's OJ, it's OJ, he's out, he's out. And then he bends down to give her a kiss and she pulls away. Like, no, I'm happy you're out, but you're not getting the

kiss for me. Okay. And then there was the video of his Christmas tweet where he's He's got the little reindeer hat on, you know, the little brace hat that's everybody who puts on to be stupid. And in the picture, on the shelf, is a MAGA hat. Now, I don't know if it ever was discovered that, you know, Trump had signed it or if it was given to him particularly from down. But the world went crazy against OJ, man. We're not having any of that. You can't be having a MAGA hat on the shelf with your other collectibles. No, that can not happen.

Not in today's world. No, sorry, it's over. Oh, and I see where Ed Sheeran has won his UK copyright lawsuit, alleging plagiarism over his shape of you from 2017. Really amazing that there's so many of those lawsuits going on. He said it's really damaging to the songwriting industry. Yeah, there's only so many notes and very few chords used in pop music. Coincidence is bound to have.

happen. If you have 60,000 songs being released every day on Spotify, that's 22 million songs a year, and there's only 12 notes that are available. He's got the big plea now to end the baseless claims, and I'm sure he's going to, you know, other musicians are going to be on his side. He claimed that this case should have never gotten as far as it did, and he wants to bring change to the frivolous speculative copyright infringement cases. All right, well, he's still got other cases to worry about. He's facing another trial here in the U.S. That one's worth about $100 million by the owner of a share of the songwriting rights

to Marvin Gay's Let's Get It On, who claims Shirin copied it for his 2014 thinking out loud song. Wow. And he's also settled some cases in court out in the past. In 2018, he paid 5.4 million to songwriters, Thomas Leonard and Martin Harrington, after being accused of copying their track Amazing, which was released by X Factor winner Matt Cardle in 2012 for Shearons' 2015 song, Photograph. Wow. And then that deal was settled. He said, though, that I feel like claims like this are way too common now

and have become a culture where a claim is made with the idea that a settlement will be cheaper than taking it to court, even if there's no basis for the claim. Yeah, that happens all the time. I mean, I certainly don't have, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars like Ed Sheeran, but I'm familiar with settling cases like that. I was in an accident, you know, 100 years ago,

and a guy hit me pulling out of an apartment complex, and he, and I screwed that whole thing. up anyway. I should have sued him right back and won a bunch of money because he was he was delivering pizza when he ran into me, right? So he runs into me and then he pulls off the side of the road and while we're waiting for the police to show up, he's taking off his pizza sign. And then just before the police get there, the pizza company sends a guy out to grab the pizzas he was delivering and the sign and leaves. So it appears that he had nothing to do with delivery. He had nothing to do with delivery. pizza when he hit me. Oh, okay. So then it's all done. I'm like, whatever. I just, you know,

just fix my truck. I was driving a red Dodge pickup truck at the time. Yeah, I liked it. The, uh, I know, it was just, it was a nice truck. That's the one I slammed into the guardrail on the bridge. Almost went into the, went into Tampa Bay one morning. But, uh, so all that gets that we're done. I just want the insurance. Let's fix the truck. I'm done with it. Okay. We're done. Fine. We got the paperwork. So then he files a lawsuit against me because he claims that he can't have relations with his girlfriend or wife now because of the accident. And he's suing me, which is suing my insurance company. And so I'm telling my insurance company, no.

We are not selling this. This is BS. This guy is, this is false. Let's go to court. I mean, I should, I should be. and countersue him. It was ridiculous. And the insurance company is like, no, you know, Jeff,

it's just easier to pay him this money. And I forget how much it was. It was like 20,000 or something. It wasn't, I mean, I'd like to have the extra 20 grand in my back pocket right now. But at that, you know, it was like 20,000, which is, you know, nothing. It's not Ed Shear and $100 million money.

But they were like, just, we're just going to pay them the $20,000, and we're going to be done with it, and we don't have to worry about it and it's over with. No. No, no, no, no. If that was today, there's no chance I would have done that. I'm in a different frame of mind right now. There's no way I would have settled that. It's just agonizing. But I understand Ed's frustration with, you know, the idea that a settlement is going to be cheaper than taking it to court. So even if there's no basis for the claim, they just want to settle and get it over with. It's just easier for them to pay the money and be done with it. It's just agonizing. hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rink on Uber Eats.

So we're getting more fallout from the bird flu that we've been talking about. I mean, it's the worst outbreak of avian flu since 2015. And, I mean, there's 23 million birds right now that have either been killed by the virus or had to be called to stop the spread.

Oh, yeah, it looks like you're going to get sick. So we're going to put you down. Humanely, of course. They would never... I mean... going to take more than that one shot for 25. Yeah, we'd take millions and they're not going to do that. So we had 50 million birds that were killed by the avian flu outbreak a few years ago. I guess it's seven years ago now, 2015. So this time around, we have 24 states that have been

infected since the first cases we started talking about in January. And we haven't had any breakouts in zoos yet, but they're ramping up protections for the birds. And right. Right. And right now only birds, you know, you can catch a glimpse of at the zoo are penguins since they already have glass barriers protecting them. Yeah, because we don't want the birds to be able to get avian flu or COVID. We can't have that. So the egg prices and all other, you know, chicken prices are going through the roof. Never mind that we have natural gas prices up 119% heating oil up 93% coffee up 85% which do not like that Sam I am I don't like any of this I'm just gonna go on record is this okay I don't like any of it WTI crude 68% up breck crude 66% cotton these are all up

by the way percentages of prices that are up cotton 66% gasoline you know 61% wheat 59% aluminum 57% sugar 31% so everything below 60% sugar corn copper gold soybeans silver lumber consumer price endags all below 60% wheat is at 59% so i mean it's right there aluminum is at 57% too so it's right there but prices are going through the roof on everything no doubt about it. Now, we do know that, I don't know that this has a push because of it, but I'm sure that it probably does. I mean, Chipotle said that they wanted to,

remember they announced that we're only going to sell chicken that's certified as humanely raised. Yeah, we're going to go ahead and put a pause on that right now. The suppliers aren't really able to make the necessary changes without disrupting the whole supply change. thing. So, you know, this whole food with integrity thing we're in love with, but we still want to get the food to our restaurants. I mean, according to this, they buy 146.6

million pounds of chicken at the old Chipotle. So they use, according to this, they use 91.2 million pounds of beef, 46.5 million pounds of cheese. 45.3 million pounds of sour cream, 11.8 million pounds of pork. So yeah, we want it all humanely raised and certified and everything, but we still kind of want it. So, you know, we're going to go ahead and

pause on that. You know what? It was supposed to happen by now, and now we'll just wait. Okay, we're going to wait. Now, the transition requires changes to our existing suppliers orders, and we're unable to take this step in 2021. so we don't want to interrupt any business. We'll try to make that happen. We'll have a new goal for 2022, but good luck. Good luck of making that happen.

I mean, I see where GM and Honda are now saying, well, we're going to have an affordable lineup of electric vehicles by 2027. They're going to be under $30,000. I kind of feel like that, you know, when states are starting to say, well, we're going to ban gasoline-powered cars and engines, that's going to happen. You know, is it?

I feel like they're just going to pause it. I feel like they're going to realize, you know, it's probably not going to happen that fast, and we still need it. So maybe that's just us. I mean, we sure. We still want to happen. We believe in it for sure, 100%.

But we're just going to put a pause on it for right now. It's not going to really happen right now, because the whole supply chain thing. And, you know, that whole, we want it to happen. Our suppliers can't meet our demands. But we still want to have our food and gasoline and our people want to be able to move and continue to eat and work.

So we're going to put all these, this is a goal. It's just a goal. And we're going to try to get there as fast as we can. But the date we originally set, yeah, we're going to go ahead. We're going to go ahead and move that. Anyway, if you look at all the prices going up, it's just amazing.

A lot of people say, hey, we're in the recession already. I know a recession, you know, they define it as two straight quarters of negative gross domestic product. But I know that a lot of the big banks, like the old Deutsche Bank, is saying that, yeah, probably we're going to hit that recession. We're going to fall into a recession, you know, coming up real soon. The Fed was too late at the rate hike. game and so they weren't able to achieve their goal. I kind of paused a little bit. Oh, and you didn't pause?

No, it just kept going. Yeah. So that economic growth thing is kind of going backwards. Right. So they're saying that the unemployment would peak in 2024. So that would help bring down inflation. Okay. All right.

You know, if you say so, If you say so, no problem. We believe you. I mean, we're going to start losing people anyway, which is what they really want. You'd think that the population really is an issue, although they continue to grow our population at the border, letting people in.

But they're saying now, prepare for mass overdose events from fentanyl. Wait, what? Yeah. The DEA warned police nationwide. Oh, okay. They issued an unprecedented warning to law enforcement nationwide to brace for a spike in fentanyl-related mass overdose deaths as Mexican cartels push the drug into the United States. Wow. That does not sound good.

I mean, and it could be, they're killing Americans at an unprecedented rate, but it's already they're looking for a mass overdose event. holy cow. And they're saying that it's probably going to be, you know, whether it's an accident or so, and they're calling a mass overdose three or more people at the same place. All right. So these types of incidents have already occurred. I mean, if you listen to,

I help produce the Jackie Daily Show, which is a podcast here on the Blaze podcast network. And Jackie talks a lot about energy, and that's what she focused. says on but she also had a couple weeks ago you go back and listen to the interview really fascinating she talked to uh sheriff jim skinner of colin county texas and sheriff bill wayburn of tarrant county and they talked about this war on drugs that they've been having for the last couple years maybe longer but they saw here in dfw all right they saw a 485 percent increase

in fentanyl-related deaths. Amazing. They're talking about these overdoses from lacing of what appears to be legal prescription drugs, bought from online foreign forces, and they're also saying that, you know, obviously the lacing of recreational drugs are happening as well, which would be an accident, right? Which would be someone who goes out and says,

hey, I don't, you know, I'm not the usual addicted, cocaine user. I just go out every three months with my friends. Who among us? Who among us? It doesn't go out with their friends every every couple of months.

Hey, let's do some rails. Let's do some cocaine. How about it? And so that cocaine is not like the cocaine of the old days. It's got fentanyl. It's laced with fentanyl and they end up overdosing and dying.

Or overdosing and paying the price for the overdose. Most of them, you know, do die, accidental overdoses. But it's by an accident, right? It's not because they, and I realize, nobody is taking the drugs thinking they're going to overdose, Jeff. Aren't they all accidents? Well, not really. If you're a junkie, you know at some point, it's going to be over for you, right? You just do. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, you just do. But if you're, you know, the guy or girl that goes out every, you know, two or three months and parties with your friends and, you know,

Millie pulls out the little vial of cocaine that she bought yesterday, just for tonight, just for a little party, just for us to have a little fun, a little kick, a little bump. And it's laced with fentanyl, party's over real fast. And it's sad. So now we have the DEA telling us that we have to beware of mass overdose events from fentanyl. so be careful out there. I also heard a number.

I was listening to a murder show the other day, and they gave a number about meth in this country and how has increased the deaths and the addiction rate of meth in this country. Gosh, I can't remember the number they used. Gosh, darn it. I was listening to, this is another show, Anatomy, Anatomy of Murder

Podcasts, which I find fascinating, and there's some, these, the two dinkleberries that do the show. A former New York City homicide prosecutor and host of the Discovery's True Conviction investigation, Anna Siga Niklausi, and the investigative

journalist and former Deputy Sheriff, Scott Weinberger, and they do this podcast, Anatomy of murder. And, you know, some of the cases are really fascinating. And this particular show was about, what was the name of the show? It was about the murders in Montana. Oh, yeah, cross-state crime spree. And it's well worth a listen.

I don't know, it's like 30 or 40 minutes long. All their podcasts are about that long. But it talks about this particular case and the murders and this guy, you know, murdering this couple and other people on a crime spree. But it was about meth, which was, you know, the cause, behind all of this murder. And the numbers that they gave on math at the end of this was just incredible.

In researching today's story, I reached out to one of my contacts at the DEA, which is the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, who told me something startling. To date, while much of the focus, including law enforcement, has been on heroin, fentanyl, and opioids, drug cartels have shifted that focus.

They're having a field day. It is clear the United States has become the methamphetamine consumption, capital of the world. 50% of all global seizures by law enforcement occur right here in the U.S. That is half a

bad recipe for a likely spike in drug-fueled violent crimes, including homicide. Wow, that's, I mean, just incredible. Anyway, that was, you know, I'm listening to these stupid shows. But that number

is amazing. And then when we have the DEA now telling us to prepare for a mass overdose event because of fentanyl and we have all this meth coming into the country. I mean, I don't know what to tell you. I mean, some would say don't do drugs. Some would say that. Obviously, there's plenty of people that are not saying that.
