Starting point is 00:00:00 With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. It was reported over the weekend that a Good Samaritan found 50 pounds of cocaine floating in the Florida Keys. and turned the hall into authorities.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Now, the person, the good Samaritan, who wasn't publicly identified, discovered the packages of party drugs, 50 pounds of cocaine, floating roughly five miles off the coast of Florida, there of Isla Marada. I know, it says the Marada stop it. And so they're happy.
Starting point is 00:00:58 And the photos of the 20 large black brick-shaped packages that were out there floating in the balmy Caribbean waters were photographed and given over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Okay. So, you know, good. I'm happy that, you know, he turned it in. I'm hoping, and I choose to believe, that he followed the rules of this program, chewing the fat. and he turned in 50 pounds of cocaine, but kept, you know, at least one package for himself. I mean, he wasn't publicly identified, so no one knows who he is, or who she is, or who they are. And so as long as he turned it in, now he's Mr. Hero to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and still has a little bit to show for it.
Starting point is 00:01:52 So I choose, I choose to believe that he did follow the rules of this program and keep some for himself or herself or themselves. And you can't maybe change my mind. There was more than 50 pounds of cocaine found, but he turned in 50 and now he's a hero. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. We talked last week about the possibility of the Boeing Union workers in St. Louis going on strike. Well, they have. Over 3,200 Boeing fighter jet workers have gone on strike for the first time since 1996.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers working in St. Louis and Illinois stopped work. after rejecting a second contract offer from Boeing on Sunday. Huh. Okay. They're responsible for assembling the F-15 and the F-A-18 defense aircraft as well as building missiles. Boeing VP, Dan Gillum, said, we're prepared for the strike. And we've implemented our contingency plan to ensure our non-striking workforce can continue supporting our customers. The CEO, Kelly Orteberg, said, yeah, we're not overly concerned about the impending strike,
Starting point is 00:03:26 given that it was much smaller than the one that occurred last fall when about 30,000 machinists in Washington State went on strike. That impacted the production of the 737 and the 777 commercial jets. So they're not worried about the 3,200-plus union workers going on strike in St. Louis and Illinois over there at Boeing. Okay, sure. I hope everyone gets what they wanted. I will say every time I see a story that talks about, you know, a Boeing 787 headed to Munich turned back to Dulles after losing the left engine at 10,000 feet,
Starting point is 00:04:03 pilots circle to shed fuel before landing safely with 219 passengers on board makes me think maybe you shouldn't be striking. Every time something happens to a Boeing airliner does not bode well for you. But I know you want more insurance and you want more pay. I got it. But there are times when, you know, you're not getting the feel-good help from Americans. Because we get reports almost daily of Boeing airliners struggling. And, you know, I'm sure, I know it's still safe.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Travel. I got it. And the pilot did exactly what he was supposed to do. There was an engine failure. They got rid of the gas. And then they landed. safely and everything's fine. You know, so it was okay.
Starting point is 00:04:52 However, it's being reported as a Boeing airliner, that Boeing 787. It just doesn't look good for Boeing or you, the striking workers. Just saying. Oh, and speaking of airlines, Delta, remember, I don't know if it was last week or the week before, we talked about how Delta was, they announced,
Starting point is 00:05:17 that they're moving away from regular pricing in favor of an AI system that determines how much each customer is willing to pay for tickets. Oh, okay, and we commented that I'm sure it'll be lower for everyone. Uh-huh. The president, Glenn Howenstein, told investors on an earnings call that they have AI set 20% of his ticket prices by year. end, the system is already showing amazing favorable returns in a pilot program that now sets 3% of airfares, the three-fold increase from last November, when he told investors that the ultimate goal was 100% AI pricing. Okay. And so they were told that, hey, look, we're basing it on trip-related factors and how early you tend to buy tickets, that kind of thing. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Well, now, after facing all kinds of criticism from the public and our representatives in Congress, Delta said that it has not used AI to set personalized prices, but they previously said it plans to deploy AI-based revenue management technology across 20% of its domestic network by the end of 2025. Yeah, they also said that they were using it already. That's what he said on the earnings call. I mean, they said it out loud. And now that, no, we're not doing that.
Starting point is 00:06:53 We've never used it. We're just testing and we're trying to, you know, use it, target customers, that kind of thing. But, you know, our ticket pricing never takes into account personal data. Oh. Okay. So you're telling investors one thing on your earnings call and now you're telling lawmakers, that you're not doing it. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Okay. I guess saying it out loud on the earnings call hurt the consumer trust that Delta thought they had. Yeah, I'm sure that it did. Just continue to tell us your earnings call what you're doing and then tell the public, nah, we're not doing that. Oh, all right.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Well, we'll just keep believing your mottoes then, right? I mean, you have the motto, keep climbing. We love to fly, and it shows the world's most trusted airline. I don't know that that holds true anymore. And you'll love the way we fly. And I'm sure that these slogans capture the brand identity and core values you want America to know about, don't they? You know, unlike the real core values is we tell investors one thing,
Starting point is 00:08:13 and we tell the public another Delta, come fly with us. Oh, I mean, fly, fly with us. Sorry, I said that wrong. I said that wrong. Hey, we might as well stay in the skies. Congratulations to a 2017 megaflash, this long flash of lightning,
Starting point is 00:08:35 that stretched from eastern Texas to near Kansas City, 515 mile long flash of light. crossed three states and has been named the longest in recorded history in the world. So congratulations to this 2017 megafash. The megafash, of course, is a giant bolt of lightning that travels huge distance from its origin point. Randall Servinan, a professor of geological sciences at Arizona State University and a member of the W. HMO Committee, that's the World Meteorological Organization,
Starting point is 00:09:13 which is an agency within the United Nations, confirmed the new record. So congratulations. At distance, by the way, that it would take at least eight hours by car or 90 minutes by commercial plane. There's no, we don't know the amount of time that it would take in a train.
Starting point is 00:09:31 You may never get there if you were on a train. In comparison, the average bolt of lightning usually measures less than 10 miles. I've got some great photos of lightning. My wife has been hooked on lightning for years, and so she takes every time there's a lightning storm she's out taking pictures of it i've got a great in my uh in my room at mercury studios that it's called the twins and there's two of them coming down they look great i mean it was just a bunch of great lightning shots that my wife has taken
Starting point is 00:09:59 over the years that i love and uh you might be able i think she's got some of them uh up for sale if you like lightning you can go to frame life photography frame life photography frame life photography and you can take a look there anyway uh so i mean some of these lightning flashes are amazing so the w m o i love them the world meteorological organization announced in 2022 that it had certified the mega flash as the longest lightning flash on record uh and that struck in october 22nd of 2017 okay so uh the single flash extended ended 477.2 miles across Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi in April of 2020.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Okay, so that's, I mean, that's nothing compared to this new one. And then there was another one in Brazil in 2018 that was recorded 440.6 miles. But that doesn't match the 515 mile flash that happened in 2017. Now, I will say, there's something else in the story that was, that I was reading about this world record that was written by Denise Chow for NBC News. And, you know, she's talking about these megaflashes in the new world record. And, you know, megafashes are not altogether uncommon. But they typically only occur in parts of the world where specific geographical and atmospheric conditions
Starting point is 00:11:31 can produce the most severe thunderstorms. In the Great Plains, that's a servant, anyway, from the WMO and the professor of Geographical Sciences at Arizona State University. He went on to be quoted as saying Midwest, the Midwest, for instance, warm and humid air from the Gulf of Mexico collides with drier, colder air from the north, creating strong atmospheric instability. Okay, so just a little helpful hint there, Mr. Professor at Arizona State University, a member of the WHMO committee,
Starting point is 00:12:12 the World Meteorological Organization within the United Nations. It is the Gulf of America now. Okay. I know that you're, you know, you're Mr. Scientist, but you need to get that right, okay? It is the Gulf of America now. Sorry, you don't like it, but that's the way it is.
Starting point is 00:12:35 So just want to let you know there, professor. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes What? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea.

Concerned by your gambling or that if someone close you call 1-8665-3-1-2-60. or visit comicsonterio.ca. No, I didn't go to the theater this weekend, okay?
Starting point is 00:13:39 Don't look at me like that. But I will say that my family members did. They saw Superman and the Fantastic Four. And they all said Fantastic Four was okay. You could watch it without having to know anything else about the, you know, the MCU universe. But Superman, they all loved Superman. and they thought Superman was really good. Okay, there you go.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Superman was fourth this weekend at the theater. It has already surpassed 551.52 million globally. Fantastic Four is at 368.7 million global, but it's down like 66% domestically. And, I mean, still number one, you know, with the $40 million weekend, but not what they wanted. It's fading fast. So, okay, bad boys, the bad guys two was number two at the theater.
Starting point is 00:14:38 The Naked Gun was number three. Not great reviews for the Naked Gun. Just saying, not great reviews. And that's because of Liam Neeson, I think. Everybody thinks that, I don't know, everybody thought it gave him such good reviews. Oh, he could be funny. He could be funny. Eh, not really.
Starting point is 00:14:58 I mean, I saw a video that they predict. produced for the movie and with Liam Neeson. And it's a great concept. It's a PSA in, you know, in the honor of Sarah McLaughlin. I was Save the Animals and he's, the bit is Save Comedy, Rescue Comedy. And that's a great idea, but it's him. It's Liam Neeson. And I don't know that he pulls it off.
Starting point is 00:15:26 And the fans obviously don't think so either since it was. 17 million for the domestic opening, 28.5 million global for the debut. So that doesn't build well. Jurassic World number five, then together, number six. I guess that's another horror movie. And F1, the movie. Okay, so F1, let's see. It's six weeks
Starting point is 00:15:50 on the old movie charts with 4.1 million domestic. This became the highest grossing film ever, beating World World War Z for Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt's highest grossing film ever, so congratulations to Brad. And then I know what you did last summer. Smurfs. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Smurfs, way down. And How to Train Your Dragon is still hanging in there in the top 10 with a 260.4 domestic total. So it's, you know, it's doing okay. Now, that having been said, I watched a couple of things this weekend that I really enjoyed. one was Ballard, B-A-L-L-A-R-D on Prime. It's, she was in the final series of Bosch. Okay, they show, she showed up in the final series of Bosch. Bosch and some of the Bosch characters show up in the first few episodes of Ballard.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I think I'm on, I don't know, three or four or five, something like that. And I think there's 10 or 12 episodes of it. And it's, it's with What's Her Face. you know, Maggie Q. Maggie Q. Maggie Q plays Ballard. And I like her. You know, it's just, I do like, I like Maggie Q. And so, and I like the other characters in the show. So it's pretty good. It's, I will say this. Which is a little disheartening, but I let it slide because I just want to have a good series to watch. It's a four prime. And so it's really got some woke side parts of it. And so you just got to kind of let it go. Like, For instance, there's a guy, a detective, a retired detective, that's back helping her in her cold case department. It starts that she's working cold cases,
Starting point is 00:17:39 and now they're after this big serial killer, which is really cool, and I like it. But he's a retired detective, and he's helping her, he came back to help her in the cold case department. Now, it shows that he's gay. And they show him waking up with his husband or boyfriend, and, you know, their life. Now, does that need to happen?
Starting point is 00:18:01 I guess, sure, go ahead. Is that detective, is he going to be gay in real life? I don't know. I sure, go ahead. You know, that's what I mean. I just like, I'll let it roll off. Because I don't necessarily believe that that's actually the case in the real world, but it is on the show.
Starting point is 00:18:21 So, I know, don't look at me like that. I got it. I know. Then I started watching Shrinking as well on Apple TV Plus. People been after me to watch Shrinking. And so the first two seasons are already done. I guess they're filming the third season now with Michael J. Fox as part of it. I don't know if he's on the show or if he's just a consultant because Harrison Ford's character,
Starting point is 00:18:49 who was nominated for an Emmy in this last season, is struggling with Parkinson's. And so they want to make it right. Harrison says it's absolutely essential that he's part of the shrinking cast. And I really, you know, it's, I enjoyed it. It's, they're in Pasadena, California. They obviously are psychiatrists, and it's kind of funny. The character-driven funniness from shrinking. I'll read you how they describe the show.
Starting point is 00:19:22 It's a comedy drama. Okay, I got it. it's a comedy drama and that's what it is it's a comedy drama so i did enjoy it i don't know how many episodes i was in and then i realized uh okay i'll get back to it i really liked it i'll get back to it i know all the characters now and so i could definitely get back to it he's struggling with his wife's death uh not harrison for it although harrison plays a really good character in it uh no question but uh what's his face uh seagull jason seagull is the i think think this is he helped write this thing and put it together too he's the main the main guy in the in the
Starting point is 00:20:01 show really like him really funny but i kept being told by a guy that i do saturday morning live with brad staggs hunting lives hunting lives wha you should watch hunting wives if you're looking for something else to watch watch hunting wives so so i'm okay calm down so i went over to netflix and i thought you know what i'll i'll take him at his word i've got Got a little time here. I'll check out hunting wives. And it's okay. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:20:32 I'm not sure why. I mean, I guess it's a murder mystery. And I like the murder mysteries. No doubt. But I like the struggling detectives, Ballard, better than just a murder mystery. But it's just, you know, it's based here in Texas. And maybe that's why Brad likes it.
Starting point is 00:20:54 But it's okay. They say, you know, it's based on a series on the novel by May Cobb, and there's a lot of sex, which maybe that's why Brad likes it. There's a lot of sex going on in the show. And in fact, when you read about the show, they talk about how they had the intimacy coordinator on set. I bet they did to make sure if they feel comfortable with nudity and sex scenes or not. I will say that it appears through the episodes that I've watched that they did feel comfortable with the nudity and the sex scenes in Hunting Wives. So, you know, if they did some scenes that they weren't comfortable with, I would like to see those.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Maybe that's, maybe that's just me. And then the whole family got together and watched Project Runway. The new season of Project Runway has dropped with Heidi Klum. No Tim Gunn. disappointing that Tim Gunn is not there, but they have picked some great designers to be in Project Runway. I mean, some super
Starting point is 00:22:01 strange designers who are awesome to watch and it's such a fun show. And I like watching what they create because a lot of people don't know this. I am fashion. So if you weren't aware, now you are. I am. Jeff Fisher,
Starting point is 00:22:19 host of Chewy the Fat. I am. fashion. I know. I know. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something called to drink desperately. So good news for those of you in the Thompson, Connecticut, Webster,
Starting point is 00:22:44 Massachusetts area. Goose, the five-foot-long water monitor lizard, has been captured. So you can rest easy. You don't have to be on the look for goose. the five-foot-long water monitor lizard. He was found, he was captured, turned over to the custody of rainforest reptile shows,
Starting point is 00:23:07 Oasis Foundation. Love them. That's a non-profit specialist organization that assisted with the search for the lizard. Well, I don't think they found him. Somebody else captured him. But, okay, whatever, they're going to take custody of him because it's not, while the lizards are not legal to keep as pets in Massachusetts without, special permits. Yeah, we talked about that.
Starting point is 00:23:28 And the previous owner did not have the required paperwork, so you can't keep him. And so the details of the capture were not made public, but it was said, reported that he was taken into custody safely and will receive expert care and
Starting point is 00:23:47 specifically designed permanent habitat. Thanks to the rainforest reptile show's Oasis Foundation. So, rest easy. Those of you in Thompson, Connecticut, and Webster, Massachusetts. I think those are the two cities involved. He was a fugitive who crossed state lines.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Goose has been captured and you're safe now from the 5-foot water monitor lizard. And I want to thank Todd for sending me an email saying that, you know, reminded me that goose is no longer loose. And he also said in his email, which was the reason I didn't watch it this weekend because I was going to. Instead, I went to Ballard and hunting wives and shrinking. Get some of those.
Starting point is 00:24:34 If you haven't yet, then don't waste your time on the Ice Cube movie either. It sucks. That's the War of the Worlds. And it looked good. The promo looks good. I guess the promo was the best part of the movie. So that's why. I'll get to it, I guess.
Starting point is 00:24:50 But thanks to Todd, who updated me on Goose, the 5-foot water, monitor lizard being captioned, who also commented on the Ice Cube movie that, according to this reviewer, sucked. And when I say Todd reached out, he emailed Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com, which you can do anytime chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You can see, you know, say, hey, I want to be a contestant on what's the lie. The game show that we play here on Fridays.

So last week there was a story about how the sphere in Las Vegas is going to show a version of the 1939 Wizard of Oz. And I thought, well, that sounds kind of cool, but it's going to be souped up by a team of technicians and AI to fit its giant Screen. Okay, so I guess they're going to do that and then it's going to start showing in August. Film fans apparently aren't too happy with the Vegas AI altered Wizard of Oz.
Starting point is 00:27:33 So the sphere is planning to screen the heavily modified version of the 1939 classic cuts off 30 minutes from the runtime by using AI to smooth over those transition scenes. Yeah, we're just going to cut those out. Those are necessary because the venue's wraparound screen doesn't handle the abrupt cuts well. And AI is going to upscale it to 16K, which expands the original 4.3 format to fill the massive curve display. And even insert digital extra actors into scenes that original cast never performed or consented to. Don't even worry about it. We're just, we're fixing it to make it better for you. So, yeah, we're fixing it.
Starting point is 00:28:21 I, okay, I mean, many of those, it's vandalism. They're accusing the venue of mangling the film. And then they're going to charge, you know, $100 plus a ticket. And they figure that it's just a cash grab that trashes the film's legacy and artistic integrity. Yeah, I mean, I don't like the idea. You know, I like the idea.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Here's the thing. I like the idea of the movie, all these old movies, any of these old movies, showing up on the sphere or on, you know, the big screen again. or on the IMAX theater again, just to get it. But if it's going to have to be modified just to smooth those transition scenes over, maybe we not do it because the whole point of watching these old movies
Starting point is 00:29:09 is to get where they were coming from at the time. Isn't it? No? Okay, never mind then. Plus, what is happening with Vegas? I don't know. I've been seeing weird reports coming out of Vegas about, I'm going to have to get someone on to talk about Vegas
Starting point is 00:29:26 because I've been seeing weird reports about, I saw one live shot from the airport that there was nobody in, and this guy was saying I was getting ready to hop a flight here at the Vegas airport, and he's never been there when there hasn't been people, and there was like no one there. And now the workers are saying that their income has fallen, by more than half as tourism plunges. I mean, what's happening in Vegas?
Starting point is 00:29:56 Are they finally, have they reached the end? I mean, they've been tearing down hotels and they've been building up new towers and there's no more free parking and the resort fees have gone up and you don't get the excess and the escape. They're replacing it with something called what was the line that Lionel used?
Starting point is 00:30:24 Oh yeah, corporate greed. And micromanaged misery, I believe, was the Lionel quote. If you don't follow Lionel at Lionel Media on X, he's really funny, and I appreciate his knowledge. He got his start, actually, in Tampa, Florida, on WFLA, the mothership where I did spend a lot of years. I love it. Anyway, has the magic died in Vegas?
Starting point is 00:30:57 It sounds like it. I don't know if it's true. And so I'm just, it feels like it's true. So gosh darn it. If something feels like it, we're supposed to believe it. Aren't we? Aren't we? Of course we are.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Duh. At Desjardin, we speak business. We speak startup funding and comprehensive game plans.

Because at Desjardin business, we speak the same language you do. Business. So join the more than 400,000 Canadian entrepreneurs who already count on us.
Starting point is 00:31:52 And contact Desjardin today. We'd love to talk, business. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Lonnie Anderson. Lonnie Anderson dead at the age of 79, just days before her 80th birthday. She died in a Los Angeles hospital. It was reported following a prolonged illness. It did not say what that illness was. So, okay, sure. That was announced by her publicist, and the family said that they were heartbroken. I'm sure that they were and are. You remember Lonnie?
Starting point is 00:32:38 She was in, you know, most famous, I believe, for, you know, WKRP in Cincinnati that aired for only four seasons, I think, from 78 to 82. There may have been, I'm not sure. I think there were only four seasons of that. and she was the station's receptionist, and she played Jennifer and the sex appeal and all that good stuff, Mr. Carlson's secretary.
Starting point is 00:33:03 So she earned two Emmy nominations and three Golden Globe nominations. And she also starred alongside Bert Reynolds in the comedy Stroker Ace and later married Bert because they were all in love and then, you know, they got a divorce in 1994. she wrote in a 95 autobiography,
Starting point is 00:33:24 My Life in High Heels, said, it was about a growth of a woman, a woman who survives, it's about my childhood, the death of my parents, my career, and my divorces, and my children.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Then, of course, the trauma of my marriage to Bert. So, that was written in like 95, so she was still reeling from divorcing bird in 94. So there's that. we can worry about.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Anyway, I'll rest in peace to Lonnie Anderson, dead at the age of 79. Then we have Kenneth Washington. Kenneth Washington, dead at the age of 88. Don't look at me like that. You know who he is. He was, first of all,
Starting point is 00:34:11 he was the last surviving main cast member from Hogan's Heroes. I mean, Hogan's Heroes was a long time ago. go and they've all since passed away and now Kenneth has joined them so and the guy has been, he was in all kinds of movies and all kinds
Starting point is 00:34:32 of television shows he is one of the few black actors with a regular role on a network sitcom he was part of Hogan's heroes he was part of I Dream of Jeannie and Star Trek and My Three Sons
Starting point is 00:34:48 and Marcus Welby MD the Rockford files. He was the first black actor to be featured in a major guest role in Petty Coat Junction in 1963. Go and ride a little train that is going down the tracks
Starting point is 00:35:04 to the junction. I mean, come on, Petty Co. Junction. He was in West World and he's in a lot of movies. And then he retired. And he got a degree at Laola Maramont University in L.A. And then he
Starting point is 00:35:21 became a professor there at Southwest College in the city where he taught courses on speech, oral interpretation, and black actors in film. So rest in peace, he's definitely one of those, oh yeah, that guy, Kenneth Washington, dead at the age of 88. Then we have a 20-year-old female unnamed who has passed away after she was in Brazil. And, uh, she was in Brazil. And, uh, they found her on a bus with 26 iPhones glued to her body. I don't know why. Please, don't look at me like that. I have no idea, and I'm sure it's the iPhone's fault, right?
Starting point is 00:36:07 So the military police there in Brazil said the woman was found with 26 iPhones glued to her. She was treated on the bus by the mobile emergency care service, where she was found awake but suffering from shortness of breath. Shortly after, she displayed symptoms that were consistent with post-seizure, seizure, and respiratory distress. She then went into cardiac arrest, and she stopped breathing. Paramedics tried to revive her for about 45 minutes, and then they said that's enough for pronouncing her dead. So while they were doing medical assistance to her, they found several packages in which the iPhones were found attached to her. No drugs were found.
Starting point is 00:36:54 They found some alcohol in her luggage, which was confiscated. And now they're awaiting the conclusion of forensic reports to clarify the cause of death. But we don't know why she would be traveling with 26 cell phones glued to her body. Would that cause someone to die? Apparently so. but they're not saying for sure because they don't know why. So rest of peace to the unnamed woman in Brazil found with 26 iPhones glued to her body, now dead.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Then last week, Florida carried out its ninth execution of the year. A man who committed, was convicted of killing his wife and two children. So he was convicted of the 1994 killings of his wife and their two children, became the ninth person to put death in Florida this year. It's a state record. Congratulations to Florida. Edward Zacharoski. I think that's Edward Zacharoosky. Z-A-K-R-E-Z-E-E-E-E-E-E-W-S-K-I.
Starting point is 00:38:06 No, Z-A-K-K-R-Z-E-E-W-S-K-I. He was six. He was six to pronounce dead at 6-12 p.m. following a three-drug injection. at the Florida State Prison near Stark. You know, the guy was a monster. So it's good. Have him a nice day.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Take care. He was worth executing. I am happy that he's no longer on this planet. I know. I know that's just the way it goes. The guy was a monster. He killed his wife and he killed the two kids. And the trial, they talked
Starting point is 00:38:45 about how he thought his wife was about to divorce him, and he told others that he would kill his family rather than allow that to happen. He used a crowbar and rope and hit them and strangled them, killed the kids with a machete. Sorry, the guy was a monster. He deserved to be executed a lot sooner than now. But okay, he was convicted in 1994, and he finally was executed this year in the state of Florida. So he also said his last words were, I want to thank the good people of the Sunshine State for killing me in the most cold, calculated, clean, humane, efficient way possible.
Starting point is 00:39:34 I have no complaint. Okay, good, because even if you did, tough. His last meal, fried pork chops, fried onions, potatoes, bacon, toast, root beer, ice cream, pie, and coffee. So at least he got what he wanted for his last meal. And Goodrins to Edward Zacheroski, dead at the age of 60. I guess, rest in peace. But, hmm.

So many things left to talk to you about today. We'll just have to carry it over. I mean, we still have the guy in Montana,
Starting point is 00:41:03 oh, I'm sorry, the person in Montana, who killed four people at a Montana bar. They have launched a manhunt for this person, and they have not found him yet. So they believe that this guy, 45-year-old Michael Brown, who was suspected of carrying him, out the attack, was seen driving away from the bar in his white Ford F-150 truck, and he's believed to be armed, yeah, according to the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation, you think?
Starting point is 00:41:35 He murdered four people at a bar. Yeah, he's probably still armed, but they have not found him yet. He is still out on the loose, so they have a fugitive in Montana in the bar shooting, and it's like 4'8. We don't know where he is. I know. I know, but just heads up to those of you in Montana, specifically in the area of the owl bar in Anaconda. So just keep your head on a swivel up there.
Starting point is 00:42:04 I mean, rest in peace to the four people who were shot and killed by this guy. No motive yet as to why, but they were in the owl bar. And he went in and carried out the attack. So they went to his home and he was not there and he still hasn't been found. So fugitive on the run in Montana. I mean, we still have, sure, we caught the five foot water monitor lizard who was a fugitive that crossed state lines. But we still have this guy. We have the two left who broke out of the New Orleans prison or jail.
Starting point is 00:42:40 And we have the guy up in Washington State that killed his daughters. He's still on the run. So let's go. I'm not sure what's going on with the U.S. Marshals and the other task force. I'm sure they're out there looking for these people. Absolutely. But let's find them. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Let's find them. That's being reported that the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and his wife, Brigitte Macron, have dropped their lawsuit against Candace Owens. Huh. I mean, I thought that Candace was facing this 22-count defamation lawsuit from the French president and his wife. And that was a joke in it of itself brought against Candice in the Delaware Superior Court. Sorry about it, Mr. President of France. We get to talk about you and your wife and we get to say anything we damn well want. That's just the way it is. That's why we are America.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Okay. I got it that Owens, she insists that Bridget McGrane is actually transgender, born a man. Is that true? I don't know. Was I looking forward to her dropping trow in court to prove whether Candice was right or wrong? Kind of. Well, that's not going to happen now because it's being reported that the case has dropped. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Maybe that's what they wanted. They just wanted to bring more light to the case, which doesn't make much sense, but maybe in their minds it does. And they brought the spotlight to the case, and now they're, you know, I guess that way they can say how ridiculous it was. But then we realized that this is America
Starting point is 00:44:29 and we live in France and we can't do anything about it. So we're going to drop the case. Okay. I guess, maybe. But anyway, it's been reported that Emmanuel and the wife are dropping the case against Candice. So I guess that makes it true then. And happy birthday.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Wishes are in order to the U.S. Armed Forces branch, the United States Coast Guard. I know you don't think of the Coast Guard as a part of the U.S. Armed Forces, but they are. And so happy birthday as they celebrate their 235th birthday. birthday today. Happy birthday to the United States Coast Guard. I know. I know. You don't think of the Coast Guard as part of the military,
Starting point is 00:45:25 but they are doggone it. And so you wish them happy birthday when you see them today. Okay? All right. Let's get out of here. A joke of the day from email to chewing the fat at the blaze.com from Grandpa Bill. And it's actually just Grandpa Bill.
Starting point is 00:45:43 A man's getting. dressed in the gym and he's putting a girdle on. His friend says, when did you start wearing that? Ever since my wife found it in the glove compartment of my car? See, because, no, you understand. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
