Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Maybe it's time we legalize marijuana. Just a thought. I don't know. I know. It's legal, Jeff, in a lot of places. I know.

I know. But I see a story where a founding member from the band, Alabama, Teddy Gentry, he's 70 now. He was pulled over for a traffic stop. It doesn't say what he was pulled over for in Cherokee County. and he was arrested, taken into custody on misdemeanor marijuana charges, and also one drug paraphernalia charge, whatever that is. Rolling papers, a pipe, a bong, I don't know.

But he was released from jail, didn't offer the bond amount, and the band, of course, their spokesperson didn't, you know, offer any comment. I will just say, I don't know what the deal was, you know, why he was pulled over, but to have him go to jail over misdemeanor marijuana charges and some paraphernalia charge seems a little silly. It just seems a little silly to me. Although, I will say the picture that they have of him in this story shows him on stage, and it looks as though the hairpiece that he's wearing he could probably do without.

But you know, he's 70 so he can wear what he wants. That's fine. I would just say, dude, you know what? Smoke your bowl and lose the rug. I believe that's my comment for old Teddy Gentry from the band Alabama being called the country legend. Smoke the bowl, lose the rug. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat.

So we have another death. that they claim is a monkeypox death. Now the headlines are a little deceiving. One headline says it's the area's first monkeypox death, second in the U.S. referring to the Texas death. And then we also have first U.S. death due to monkey pox, confirmed in Los Angeles County. But that's not really true.

I mean, the death apparently so far has been attributed to monkeypox. pox and that's the way the Texas death was as well. The person had monkey pox at the time of their death, but that's not really what killed them. They had a weakened immune system, and they're not saying what else this person was suffering from in Los Angeles yet, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the death due to monkeypox. Okay. I guess if you say so, both people, the one in Texas and the one in L.A.,

had severely immunocompromised. I've got to say that properly. Immuno-compromised. And had been hospitalized. So there's no other details. So we shall see the numbers. You know, we've got 22,630 cases in the U.S. so far. California is well-induced.

front as the number one state with 4,300 cases. And then, you know, Florida's got 2,200, almost 2,300. Georgia and Illinois are over 1,000. New York is almost 3,700. Texas is over 2,000. Those are the big states. And the rest are, you know, hundreds, if not, you know, below. So the numbers are kind of, you know, kind of steady and out on the monkeypox.

Globally, I think we're looking at almost 60,000 cases. So, yeah, I mean, they're saying 59,179 total cases globally. And the U.S. is way out in front of all those other countries. We've covered that extensively. So just know that people are now starting to die from Monkey Pox, but not really. So I don't know what to tell you. Be careful. Just keep your goo to you.

I mean, I've already given you two great tips of today. Smoke your bowl, lose your rug, keep your goo to you. I mean, you're welcome. Isn't it interesting how everybody wants to do something, but not in my backyard? I mean, something needs to be done, but not here. I see where residents of Seattle's Chinatown a little wound up at the old city officials

over a plan to build a homeless, Megaplex in their neighborhood. No, thank you. No, thank you. Yes, do something, but just not here. King County Department of Community and Human Services is planning to spend $66.5 million to construct a homeless shelter that's going to house more than 500 people. Thousands of Chinatown residents attended to rally said, no, thank you.

Sorry. We do not want the construction of the homeless. shelter new how about no sure do something just not here all right uh it sounds like they've already approved it uh apparently they've met in may back in may to approve the vote and they wanted to vote on the 69 million dollar lease of the 6.9 acres for about five years chinatown community watch volunteer tanya woo who i'm sure is a you know a strong proponent of helping people who are homeless, just not in my Chinatown. Tanya said I was watching this meeting and they're talking about the importance of having a community outreach engagement plan and also good neighborhood agreements.

We haven't learned any information. No one's talking to us. No one's engaged us. No one has done any community outreach. We find this to be very much evidence of systemic racism. Do you? Okay. So, I mean, I totally agree.

with them about, you know, not in my backyard. And I do not have an answer for you. I wish I did. But the current shelter, which holds 300 people, and provide an RV park and a sobering center. It's very important to have a sobering center. So the new shelter is going to cost $22 million to keep open. The funding for the new shelter will come from the city of Seattle,

along with funding from President Biden's American Rescue Plan. That's great. The homeless shelter will also include 50 tiny house units and require 400 people to man the entire complex. All right, good deal. Appreciate it. Keep it coming. No problem. Protesters concluded the rally by walking the area

where the homeless shelter would be placed in their community. And while walking, protesters chanted, nobody asked us. Not in our backyard. Not in our backyard. Over there. How much of house them over there? That'd be great. Okay?

And I thought, what happened to the big homeless thing that they were going to build in L.A.? Didn't they? Weren't they going to build some big homeless complex underground system in L.A.? How's that working out? Because we've heard so much about it. So, anyway, residents of China. town in Seattle are will wound up at the new homeless shelter that they're going to go ahead and build in Chinatown and they're going to have an RV park, a little tiny homes, house about 500 people,

and, and very importantly, are going to have a sobering center. So that actually might be a good deal. Just not here. Okay. I'm a big fan of what you're doing. but don't do it here. And of course, like I said, I'm a big fan of what you're doing.

Tanya Wu claims that we're not saying that the unhoused are the problem. Of course not. What gave you that idea, Tanya? We don't believe they are. It's the people who prey on them that are the problem.

The drug dealers who come to where their clients are. Or the people who run the prostitution rings who are employing the young ladies who are working to try to buy drugs. None of those concerns have been addressed from that center, and we have also similar concerns regarding this 500-person shelter. We have questions that we would like addressed and answered. Well, good luck.

Good luck. Tanya Wu. What was your title again? Chinatown Community Watch Volunteer, Tanya Wu. good luck god bless all right let's go to the break room i need something cold to drink desperately so good so i did pat unleashed this morning and my chewing the fat segment if you listen i do it every wednesday the chewing the fat segment at 630 a m central today is 914 2022 for those of you listening live and i talked about the radio

of some of the big games. We talked about the ratings how they're touting it, but they're really poor for the WNBA. And we talked about the ratings for the Texas Alabama Saturday game, which drew 10.6 million viewers. And then according to Fox Sports, during the 15 minutes at the end of the game, there was 15.1 million viewers watching the game.

And I talked about Sunday night's Buck's Cowboys game, which brought in 25.1 million viewers. And that's with everything. that's linear TV and all the streaming and digital platforms sprinkled in. And then we have the Emmys. They had like a 25% drop-off from last year's broadcast, down to 5.9 million viewers, a record low for the Emmys.

Wow. And so, okay. I mean, I think, you know, look, in today's world, you're going to, I'd like to see what the social media engagement is because the clips from these awards have got to be doing well. I mean, that's part of the deal. So at least it should be.

And if they're not, then they're doing something wrong. I know that we complained that they didn't, I guess they didn't give enough love to the queen, if any. People were wound up that they didn't give Olivia Newton John a mention in the Memorial Tribute. I mean, let's just, why didn't they mention everybody that died? That's what I try to do. You know, in different days, not just one night, but, you know, who died today?

I'll just step in and do a who died today for the Emmys. No problem, you're welcome. And I saw where Lizzo was happy that she was, you know, that she won. She said when she was a little girl, all she wanted to see was me in the media, meaning her, not me. Someone fat like me, her, not me. Black like me, again, her, not me. Beautiful. like me. Again, her, not me.

So congratulations, Lizzo, because now you can, someone fat like me, black like me, beautiful like me has won the Emmy Award. So congratulations. Well, as long as we're talking about M-memorium and, you know, I'll do a who died today on the, uh, during the ammings. I might as well to give you who died today. Ken Starr, the Texas attorney who led the Whitewater investigation that later led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton died at 76 years of age. So Ken Starr died in a Houston hospital from surgery complications.

That's never good. He was 76 years of age. Ken Starr dead at 76. Jean-Luc Goddard John Luke Goddard who was this New Wave Cinema director acclaimed

director from France dead at 91 years of age. He rewrote the rules of film and influenced directors from Martin Scorsese to Quentin he didn't say his name Quentin Tarantino.

So he died in Switzerland from assisted suicide. So I don't know how sick Jean-Luc was. He had a vision of genius, said President Emmanuel Macron. He was like an apparition in French cinema and then became a master of it. Okay. So he's a big-time film guy in Europe and around the world. He had, uh, had, uh, in multiple invalidating illnesses,

according to the medical report. Multiple invalidating illnesses. So he went to Switzerland and had them help him die. That's what assistant suicide is, Jeff. Yeah, no, I know. I get it. So, okay, Jean-Lute Godard, dead at 91. Ramsey Lewis passed away

wow that's so sad Ramsey Lewis this guy was so good Ramsey Lewis a jazz pianist musician I mean he was 87 years old he was I mean he was probably the Ramsey Lewis trio I mean he was probably one of the country's most successful

jazz guys he was awesome I saw Ramsey I don't even know I mean a hundred years ago now I saw him play at an airport lounge I mean, the plane flew in. He walked off, came into the lounge. The Ramsey Lewis Trio came into the lounge, played. They played for, I don't know, two or three hours, walked back on, the plane, flew out.

It was awesome. He was awesome. I mean, he had, how many albums did Ramsey Lewis have? I think he had like 80 albums throughout his career. I mean, the guy, more than 80 albums, to his credit. He's played with Tony B. Bennett and Al Jiro and Pat Mathini and Aretha Franklin. I mean, most of his albums were with the chess records out of Chicago.

He played at Clinton's state dinner in 1995. I mean, the guy was awesome. And I didn't know that he hosted a radio show in the 90s and the 2000s, it called the Ramsey Lewis Morning Show on WNUA FM, and the syndicated the Legends of Jazz. with Ramsey Lewis in 2007, which was a weekly program that aired on public television stations

nationwide. I mean, the guy was just very sad. Rest in peace, Ramsey Lewis. And I do mean rest in peace to Ken Starr, Jean-Luc Godard, but seriously, rest in peace, Ramsey Lewis, man.

You were and are a legend. And his son even said he was at peace. He died at home. And he said, most people say when they met my dad, he was a class act. He was that way, even through his last breath. I mean, he definitely was. I just, you know, I would have loved to have had an opportunity to actually meet him.

I mean, we kind of was a small venue, so I feel like I met him. But I never, you know, when I saw him and it was so long ago now, I'm sure he remembers it. Well, I'm sure he did remember it. but I would have liked to have talked to him. He's one of those guys that, I mean, he's traveled the world, man. This guy, growing up in Chicago, he played in small bars when he was a little kid. And he played in all these jazz bars and nightclubs, figuring out how to play in front of audiences.

And, you know, then he traveled the world. Amazing career. And so it's very sad that Ramsey Lewis has passed away. Ramsey Lewis dead at the age of 87. Rest in peace. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter.

It's just $39.99? How could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for, The Crossing Guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at Winners?

Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners find Fabulous for less. Okay, all I can think of now is assisted suicide. I know. I don't know why it's eaten at me. I mean, the guy, Jean-Luc Goddard, was this genius, and I was reading about him and all the work he'd done and how many people he had influenced. And, you know, he was in love with his actress and they had a thing and they made a bunch of movies. broke all the rules and Tarantino said that he taught me how to have fun and freedom and the joy of breaking the rules. I consider it got it to be to cinema what Bob Dylan was to music. Wow. Okay. But what got me what I'm thinking about really is just the assisted suicide. Because we just had the one guy do it not long ago that on Studio 54, right? He went over to Switzerland and was assisted with his, death. So the filmmaker, you know, according to his legal advisor, uh, that, uh, had

Jean-Luc Goddard had recourse to legal assistance in Switzerland for a voluntary departure as he was stricken with multiple invalidating illnesses. And assisted suicide is legal in Switzerland in some circumstances. And I got to thinking, I don't know, you know, if I could do it. and if it's actually legal or not. And so I've looked on Wikipedia, I'm going to have to do some more studying on assisted suicide, because Wikipedia lists that, I mean, there are some states that allow you to, you know,

assist yourself to death. Okay. I don't know why that surprises me. I guess if you start pulling all the religious stuff out, which is what you have to do, you can do it. So according to this, physician, this is Wikipedia, so it's got to be true. Physician assisted suicide is legal in some countries under certain circumstances. Austria, Belgium, Canada, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland, parts of the United States. California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and Washington, D.C.

Okay. All right. And then it lists Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia. The Constitutional Courts of Columbia, Germany, and Italy legalized assisted suicide. But their governments have not legislated or regulated the practice yet. Okay, so you can get help or can't get help or you have to have, what Jean-Luc called, or his legal advisor, called multiple invalidating illnesses. And that's what happened to the Studio 54 guy, too. He had multiple invalidating illnesses, and he didn't want to live anymore. So, okay, I see, you know, you go through when they tell you, it's not, you know,

assisted suicide is illegal in a lot of countries and a lot of states. It's considered murder, punishable, you know, going to prison if you do it. So I know some places will give you what you need, but you got to do it yourself. I just, I don't know where, I personally don't know what the line is. I don't know what the line is. How sick do you have to be to be okay with, you know, yes, I just, I just want to end it. Let's go. And if you are that sick, gosh, you know, you kind of.

kind of should be able to decide. Right? I mean, there's only so much suffering a human can take. And so if you're really sick and you have had enough, you should be able to do that and not get the rest of your family, friends, anyone who knows you in trouble, right? We've all had suicide touch our lives, so it's tough for me to get my head around.

But, you know, it's out there. So, you know, you do you, boo, but you have the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline now, 9-88. So if you're, you know, if you need help, get it. Just call 9-88. It's available any time day or night, 24-7, free and confidential support for people in distress. So, I mean, if you're having a crisis, use the National Suicide. Prevention Lifeline, 988. I don't know if the 988 was busy today as all we got was royal coverage of the Queen's

coffin moving. Maybe there were many people around the world that were like, enough already. I got it, okay? I know. Harry is walking with William and he gets to wear his little medals, but not the uniform. and Andrew gets to go up with his brother and sister, but he doesn't get the uniform. He has to wear the little shiny medals too.

That's it. That's all they're doing, okay? I know he said he was going to take care of the dogs, so you get to wear your little medals. And Harry, you get to walk with William up there, with the king, and you get to wear your little medals, but you're not wearing the uniform. And Megan could be in the back of the car, okay, as we move the coffin. That's just the way it is.

so i i mean it was never freaking ending with the movement of of uh of the queen and i see that uh you know i'm not sure how much money it costs to do all this and i don't know if the state is paying for all of that i mean the the queens i'm sorry the late queens private portfolio they say was valued at almost almost a billion dollars, $949 million. Now, the Crown's estate has a $19 billion collection of assets, including shopping malls and wind farms overseen by a board of directors. Isn't that interesting?

The royal family's private and secretive fortune, which includes Balmoral Castle, which is where she died. I told you that. We talked about that's there. that's a working property. We talked about all the buildings and stuff that's on Balmoral and how that creates. That's a separate thing from the state.

So I know that in all this time when Charles was waiting for mom to die, he grew his portfolio. And it grew, according to this, it grew by 50% of the last 10 years. Vacation rentals, London office buildings. and it says in the story and controversial offshore investment. Oh,

isn't that nice? All right. All right. So, you know, we'll see if William gets any of that. I don't know. I don't know. But apparently you're looking at,

you know, Charles probably inherited most of the portfolio, I would say. And that's, they're saying, the portfolio of assets worth around $28 billion. dollars.

Woof. Okay. So according to a 1993 agreement with the British government, all of that is exempt from inheritance tax. Isn't that interesting?

So the rest of the UK inheritance tax is 40% for a state's worth more than $377,000. So that's, you know, almost everyone. Okay, maybe not everyone. But a lot of people are going to have a state's worth more than $377,000, I would think.

So good for them. Good for making that deal. I mean, if you were part of a family who had, you know, a worth of $28 billion, you'd want to make that agreement with the British government, too. So good for them. I see, you know, I see they're trying to talk Harriet out and not releasing his memoir that he's got, supposed to be released in November. they're hell-bent on getting it released a couple people are saying hey harry why don't you wait

you're trying to get back together now with the you know your dad and your brother and the kids and the wife you're going to you know trying to get together maybe have a little barbecue hang out you know a couple hot dogs have a couple burgers get to know one another again why don't you wait on that memoir thing so then you can add to it you know you can say yeah well i was thinking that then but now everything is fine. And you put that in the book. And you change a couple. You know, you ease up on a little bit of the complaints.

But they're hell-bent on getting their release. And I bet you Megan is behind that all the way to get that release. She wants to continue with that knife through the blades. Through the shoulder blades. Absolutely, she does. That's not, I'm going to say, I believe my original thought was, that they would have been divorced already. But then she got pregnant again.

That second kid saved that marriage. And then, you know, Grandpa died. Grandma got sick now. Dad's going to be king. Brother's going to be king. I don't know if Dad's going to step down and give it to Bill. Although that would be a great move on Charles' part. Waited all this time to be king.

Okay, I'm king. All right, I'm going to step down and give it to William. You know what? I had enough. I just want to hang out with my business. girl, you know who his girl is right. Cabilla. Yep, that's her.

And I'm just going to hang out with her. And Bill, you go ahead and take it. All right? Take care. I mean, that would be a good move. He's not going to do it, though. He's not going to do it. He's waited this long.

He never had the guts to put a pillow over Mommy's face. You know, with the cyst of suicide. You never had the guts for that. So he just waited for her to die, and she finally did. and so now he gets to be king. How cool is that? So anyway, Harry and Megan, back to Harry and Megan. I'm guessing, so I thought they'd be divorced by now.

And the second kid saved the marriage. So I'm guessing that I originally thought that they would be divorced by this September, or this December, but it still could happen, especially after this, William and the old man could be getting into Harry's ear. and, you know, it could start, you know, putting a wedge between Megan and Harry and the family. And once that wedge gets in there, if they can lodge that wedge in there, Megan's not going to break that. And Harry will be back living on the grounds with the kids, telling Megan, hey, keep the place. You know, it's all yours. You live out there.

I got to go back with the family, and I'm taking the kids. Okay? so you can have the chickens that Archie takes care of because I don't want them and you can go down and talk to Oprah you go down and talk to what's your face down the road off the left there Ellen

but I'm out okay I'm going to be at one of the castles don't try to call and there's no cell coverage yeah I want to talk to you really bad but there's no cell coverage so take care boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

So earlier this week, a woman sued the city of San Francisco after her DNA was used to arrest her for a crime. And you think, well, okay, well, how did they get the DNA? Well, they took it from a rape kit. She was given a rape kit, and they took the DNA. And they had been saving DNA samples from the victims.

so we've been keeping the samples and test them against the database for other crimes district attorney dropped the property crime charges against the woman whose DNA was collected in the 2016 rape kit even though she was the victim not the assailant and now she's been re-victimized by an unconstitutional practice the state is moving to ban using rape DNA for unrelated cases so okay we'll see what happens. I mean, she's being re-victimized.

She also was a criminal. It doesn't mean she wasn't rape, Jeff, okay? I know. I know. And, you know, we have to believe all women. I get it. But they gave her a rape kit,

and they just saved her DNA. And they just slowly, you know, test it out. Don't tell anybody. Just, you know, we've got the DNA. Just see if it's, just run it. Run it.

See if we get a match. And they did. So it was, and, by the way, it was just property crime charges. It doesn't say what those property crime charges were. You know,

could have been a, you know, could have been a little glass vase for flowers. Or it could have been, you know, a $100,000 car. I don't know. I don't know what the crime was. But the real crime, Jeff, I'll tell you what the real crime is, they're re-victimizing these women, okay? She tested

tested for a rape kid. Now, she has to go through it again because they saved her DNA. Okay, coming to a courtroom near you, though, it's a good case. It's a good case because should the police be able to use the DNA samples from you as the victim to then look for something against you? That's a, I would say no to that. It's just me. I'm throwing it out there.

No. I know I'm a criminal. I get it, but I'm just, I'm throwing it out there. All right? I am. How does, I see another story about police escorting passengers from a plane after it landed because one person inadvertently missed security before boarding. Now remember in, not too long ago, in San Diego, right? I think it was San Diego.

They closed a damn wing of the airport because some, somebody got past security. They made people get off the planes that they were already on. And they had to re-securitize these people. They had to go back through security. That's right. They had to re-securize them. So now it happened again.

So the passengers were allowed to leave the Melbourne airport. This happened in Australia after being rescreened or re-securized. and so I guess a passenger missed the screening. I'd like to know how that happens. I'd like to learn how that happens. So then they just kept an eye on the plane. As soon as it landed, they make everybody go through security again. Are you serious?

So I thought the point of going through the security was to make the flight safer. But these people had already been on their flight and landed at their destiny. So what you already know, oh yeah, everyone was fine. Sure, one of them didn't go through security, but everything is fine. We all made it to the destination safely. So which is it? Are we going through security for the safety of our flight? or are we going through security just so that we learn to continue to conform?

Okay. You know, you can answer it yourself, I guess. Don't worry about it. But I just, I find that a little disconcerting. And I would be so angry. Oh, my gosh. Would I be seen? Would I be mad?

I would be so angry. Especially the one, the one, the earlier one, I think it was San Diego, where they made, if you had already boarded the plane and they made you get off the plane, to go back through security, no, thank you.

Because somebody else didn't go through security? Because you didn't do your job? Oh, man. I may be in jail. I could possibly be in jail. Now, I mean, could I get thrown in prison? I don't know. They just threw that one New York lady in prison for four months,

and she's got, She has to pay restitution to American Airlines, and she's got to have three years of supervised release. And the other female passenger that was in the fight with her back in New, she pled guilty, pleaded guilty, and now is going to be sentenced in November. It was a flight from Dallas to L.A. They diverted to Phoenix because of the fight. They were up in first class.

They got them. They were engaged in intimidating behavior. I hate people that engage in intimidating behavior. They were on the flight. They had to be removed from the plane at Phoenix. Not my favorite airport in the world. It's pretty, but it's not my favorite place in the world. And each woman assaulted a passenger during the flight,

used racial slurs when male passenger asked them to stop. Oh, okay. So the one passenger, male passenger, hey, stop. So racial slur against you. And she spit out a man when he tried to record the altercation. So the FBI, Phoenix police were all involved

at the investigation. And so now she has to pay $9,200 in restitution, served four months in prison and three years of supervised release. The other female passenger will be sentenced in November. Good. Good. Quit disrupting my flight.

I'm going from Dallas to L.A. and you're going to make me stop in Phoenix just to get these stupid bits off my plane, I guess you'd be okay. I guess you'd be okay with that at that time. Get them off, let's go. Don't mess around. And I guess, you know, I'm okay with that.

I will say, though, I love the pilot of Southwest Airlines who was flying out of Houston to Mexico. He delayed the flight a little bit, but he didn't roll back to the gate and he got the passengers to Cabo. He has someone airdropped a nude photo to other passengers. and they all, you know, they were boarding the plane. One lady said her and our friends were boarding the plane to go to Cabo. I don't know if Ted Cruz was on the flight.

And she received a photo via airdrop, and she declined the photo. Two women with her accepted theirdrop and showed it to her. Hey, there's a new guy. Look at this guy. So they, the pilot said that he don't make the pilot. said that he don't make me turn this thing around. If I have to turn this thing around, I will. And so, I mean, the safety and security and well-being of customers and employees at Southwest is our highest priority.

And, I mean, air-dropping nude photos of yourself, that is not highest priority. Well, the pilot was awesome. This is where we're on the ground. I'm going to have to pull. We have to get off. We're going to have to get some dirty involved. Hey, folks, whatever that air drop thing is, quit sending a naked picture. Let's get yourself to a combo.
