Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. I want to set the record straight. I did not take the statue. It wasn't me. The bronze statue of First Lady Melania Trump

in her native Slovenia has gone missing. After someone apparently hacked it off at the ankles and took it away. It wasn't me. I didn't do it. Okay? Now, this original statue was made out of wood, and that burned down a few years ago. I didn't do that either.

Don't look at me for that. So then the artist went ahead and cast a bronze statue to replace the wooden one. And it really wasn't an art piece that was supposed to be good for Melania, because this artist was mad at Melania Trump for having her immigrant. to the U.S. fast-tracked while others had to wait. So he wanted to have this statue in Slovenia to, you know, show that. Okay. So they claim now that this one, the bronze one, has now gone missing and was

sought out, sought off at the ankles. I did not do it. I just want to be clear. I did not do it. No one knows what happened to it. The police are investigating. They think either, obviously, it was, you know, taken to melt it down for cash, which I'm sure is very possible.

And the other would be just vandalism, and we don't want to have the Melania statue there on top of this tree stump. Well, it's going to be clear, I did not take it. So I hope they find those evil people that cut the bronze statue. Cut the bronze statue at the ankles. Now, that takes some sawing. That takes some sawing. No kidding, but I just want to be clear, it wasn't me. Welcome.

Welcome to Chewing the Fat. I'm not sure. I think I love this idea. The Department of Homeland Security is considering a reality television show pitch from, you know, the producers that did Duck Dynasty. And he's done some other shows to, Millionaire Matchmaker, some of a few other shows, this Rob Worsoff. But he has submitted. this game show called the American. And that would put immigrants through a series of challenges

as they compete for U.S. citizenship. There's no way. This happens, I don't think. But I kind of like the idea of it. So he claimed that it's not mean-spirited, that the American is a celebration of what it means to be American. And he said, we need it. Our morale is at an all-time low.

what we need. So he claims he wants to send a positive message. He's stressed through his pitch any backwards movement in the show's competition would not affect an immigrant citizenship process in real life. It's a heartfelt series with tears of joy and fun, loud American challenges, be they mental or physical. So what would the competition be? The competition, B. Well, he claims, like, activities collecting gold from a mine, building a Model T in Detroit. Okay. Okay. So, well, I mean, I've got some other ideas of what means to be an American. I don't know that it needs to be a game show. Are they going to take a, you know, they're going to fly them all over the country? Are we taking a train ride all over the

country, the American train, and what it means to be an American. I, apparently he's pitched this idea a couple of times and a couple of different administrations. And so the Homeland Security Department is reviewing the pitch. They claim that Homeland Security receives hundreds of television show pitches a year, ranging from documentaries surrounding ICE and CBP border operation to white-collar investigations by HSI. And so each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval. This is in the beginning stages and it has not received approval or denial yet.

So it's still there waiting to be looked at and reviewed. He claimed that he has not talked to Homeland Security, Christy Noem, the director, she's the secretary, you know, the head of Homeland Security. Ice Barbie. That's what she's called. Anyway, that she has not, you know, they have not decided.

yet. I would like to, you know, I don't know what it would take to be a show worth watching, but I do like the idea of it. But if it doesn't affect your immigration status, then what good is the game? I mean, there's got to be something worthwhile, right? If you win, you get fast track to become an American citizen. Okay, I like that. But if you lose, you go back to back in line, I guess. Okay. Are we going to decide maybe we put a, you know, I don't know, a couple of Americans in there and they can fight to save their citizenship? Now you're thinking about leaving America? Okay. Well, I'll tell you what, if you win this game, we'll give you, we'll buy the passport and send you to whatever country you want. I kind of like that. That could be the outcome. If not, you have to stay in the country you hate, you bastards. And the world will know you hate America. something. I mean, there's got to be something in the game that makes it worth watching.

But for right now, it's not going to happen. I do kind of want it to happen, though. We talked about this on Saturday morning live this weekend that Brad Staggs and myself do every Saturday on my ex-account at Jeffrey JFR, Saturday morning live. You can go back and watch and listen if you missed it. We did talk about the jail break in New Orleans. Now, as of the latest report, we have seven of the ten still on the loose. So if you're in the greater, you know,

Orleans parish area, keep your head on a swivel. So there are still seven inmates that had broken out of jail. They're still loose. Okay. So officials are offering up to a $7,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

I mean, wow, if you point out, hey, there's the guy. and they arrest him, you get $7,000. All right. So, Corey Boyd, Leo Tate, Germain Donald, Derek Groves, Lenton Van Buren, Anton T. Massey, and Gary C. Price,

still on the loose at the time of this recording. So be safe out there. And, I mean, they broke out of the, you know, the city jail, their Orleans Parish Prison, which is a city jail in New Orleans. Is it a prison or a jail? Maybe it's just called Orleans Parry's prison, but it's actually just a jail. The jail opened in 1837.

I will say, it's operated by the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office, and we heard from their spokesperson on Saturday. Wow, there's a few things strange about that, but I digress. And 1837, no wonder they were able to pull the stuff away from the walls. Maybe we need a little remodel at the old Orleans Parish prison. But be safe out there. And officials are offering up to seven grand reward for information leading to an arrest. So that's up to you.

If you want to point out where they're at or not. And, you know, good luck. Good luck. Be safe. Then later on Saturday, after Saturday morning live, there was a, what's surprising to me, a Mexican Navy ship. I mean, seriously, who knew Mexico had a Navy? But this Mexican Navy ship crashed into New York City's Brooklyn Bridge Saturday.

I mean, the footage, I posted some of the footage on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR. It's incredible. There's all kinds of different angles. I liked a bunch of the videos that there's different people that were on shore filming different angles. But it's sadly, two sailors died and 19 others were injured. Two of those that were critical. The two that died were actually pretty critical too. and no one on the bridge was harmed.

Preliminary investigation apparently revealed there's no structural damage to the bridge. Yeah, you've got to keep that thing moving. Let's go. There's nothing wrong with the bridge. I mean, that has, according to New York or Brooklyn, they have an estimated 32,000 pedestrians. Oh, it's pedestrians, I know. In addition to 100,000 commuter vehicles,

it handles every day goes across the Brooklyn Bridge. So, yeah, it's fine. We're not going to shut this thing down. but the footage of the Mexican Navy ship crashing was just incredible. They don't know what happened. The investigation is still going. It was scheduled to carry its 277-person crew to 22 ports across 15 countries in under a year. Okay.

After docking for several days, the C-U-A-U-H-E-M-O-C. You're going to have to help me out with this one. Q outamock. Yeah, that's what I thought. The ship's name is... Q out of course. It was due to Department of Manhattan and head toward Iceland.

So I guess it's not going to show up there. And they don't know what caused the vessel to veer off course and crash. I guess the power... There was a power outage and maybe a mechanical malfunctioner to blame. The ongoing investigation still remains. On the Mexican Navy ship...

Qautamok. And the footage is pretty incredible because all the Mexican Navymen, you know, climb up the masts and they're all along, standing along all the masts on the sailboat. It's pretty, pretty amazing. And it was a beautiful boat, a ship with these giant sails. And I mean, I didn't realize Mexico had a Navy, but it was beautiful. And so, I mean, I can get why you'd want to see it. And, you know, it's a shame. wanted to run it to the bridge.

But now we know that the Mexican Navy, thanks to the downfall of the... Q out of mock. It is a lot less than what it was before the accident.

got up and thought it was the wrong day in your life? Because I did. I did yesterday. And, man, it threw me for a loop. So, for whatever reason, I got up at the same time I always get up sometime.

You know, if I don't have to go into the studios, I get up about 5 o'clock in the morning every day, between 5 and 5.30 every day. It's just, I just do. If I have to go into the studios, I get up between 2 and 2.30 in the morning because I'm doing, I'm going into the studios for Pac-Gray Unleashed, which starts at 6 a.m. Central time. So I wake up and it's like 5.15. And it's in my head, it's a Monday. I know it. Look, when I went to bed, I knew it was a Sunday. I knew a Saturday night. I knew I went to bed earlier than I normally do on Saturday nights.

I usually stay up later on Saturday nights because I don't. I can go back to sleep if I wake up Sunday morning early. I can go, oh, yeah, I can stay up a little bit later on Saturday night because I love, first I can switch to that schedule in a heartbeat. I could go from getting up early to staying up late and sleeping all day in a heartbeat, but that's not the schedule that I'm on. So when I went to bed, I went to bed a little earlier than I normally do on Saturday night, which I think is what threw me off.

I was trying to backtrack what threw me off. Because when I woke up and I looked at the clock and it was 5.15 and I was like, I'm just going to get up because I normally, I didn't have the alarm set, which is weird. But, you know, it's Sunday. So I just, you know, got up. Okay. And I went about my day as if it was Monday. And I get everything set up.

You know, I've got the coffee, the whole works. It's Monday. I'm getting ready to do my, this show here at the house in DFW. I'm not going to go into the studio. And I click on Blaze Radio Network to hear the, and I like to hear the end of what's on Blaze Radio Network. And then I listen to Pat Gray on Leashed on Blaze Radio Network. I do watch on Blaze TV from time to time,

but I always listen to the beginning of the show on Blaze Radio Network. It's just the thing I do. I just, when I used, for a long time, I ran Blaze Radio Network. I got nothing to do with it now. So it's just kind of ingrained in me. That's like I listen to it because I want to know what's going on there and I used to run it so I can criticize it. If it needs to be criticized, but I got nothing to do with it now.

So anyway, so it's Monday. And on Blaze Radio is Liz Wheeler. And I'm like, what is happening? Why is Liz Wheeler on right now? Her show is on. And she's talking to some guy about the Pope or the day that we got the new Pope. And it's fine. It's Liz Wheeler and it's whatever.

But it's not supposed to be on at 6 o'clock on Monday morning. Okay? So what is happening at Blaze TV and radio that Pat Gray is not there working? Because I know I filled in for him Thursday and Friday. He's supposed to be back Monday morning. And so, I'm starting to freak out a little bit. And I go to Blaze TV, and they've got Blaze TV as Steve Decia.

And it still hasn't clicked with me that it's Sunday. And I am freaking out. And I text Keith Malenac and Chris Cruz. I text them, what is happening? Why? What's going out with the show? What's wrong? And I get a, you know, I get a question mark and a shrug from both of them.

And then I realized, I don't know what, I turned around, I looked at my phone, I was like, wait, wait, it's not Monday, it's Sunday. And that's, you know, I ended up, I ended up just texting them at 6.20 a.m. I woke up thinking it's Monday. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Have a great day. Sorry to bother you. I mean, in that 25-minute time frame, I was completely in Monday mode, completely in Monday mode.

And I just couldn't believe what was happening around me. And then you realize, what an idiot. It's Sunday. Through my complete day all off. Now, I know that this show, if you're listening live, it's the 19th of May, 2025, Monday. day. So I'm kind of back on track. Kind of. But man, that didn't throw me. No doubt

So you have Estonia, Israel and Austria, the top three Eurovision Song Contest Winners. Now, I have not heard any of the winning music. I'm sure it's beautiful. But the winning song from Austria is titled, Wasted Love.

I feel like we should listen to a little bit of it together for the first time. Shall we? Here you go. Eurovision's winning song from Austria, Wasted Love. Got video too. This sounds like a European Murder Detective show music. Oh, oh, wait. I don't know if I can go on.

Okay, okay. I'll post a link in the show notes to the Eurovision winning song, Wasted Love. Congratulations for you for winning. But yeah, it sounds, it's okay. It's fine. It sounds like it does sound like a,

European detective show, which I love if, you know, it sounds like music from their soundtrack. So that's the kind of stuff. You know, why it sounds like that? Because that's the kind of stuff they're creating. Duh.

Oh, no. Oh, no. We have some news now. Billionaire David Geffen. Billionaire David Geffen has filed for divorce from his husband, David Armstrong.

I know. They haven't even been married two years. and it's over already. The 82-year-old billionaire is out of love with his 32-year-old former go-go dancer boyfriend, thou husband? Oh, no.

Say it isn't so. What about, I mean, holy cow. No pre-up either. So this guy who goes by Donovan Michaels is going to be rolling in some cash. Good for him? I'm not good for him because, obviously, the love of his life.

is now over. How much is David Geffen worth? Okay, according to this, over $8 billion, almost $9.8.64 billion, according to this is what Dave is worth. And now he's going to have to give some of that to the ex-husband, ex-wife, boyfriend. So, wow, this guy got to, had to sleep

been run around with David Geffen for a couple of years at 32. And now how much is he going to get from David Geffen for divorcing him? I don't know. But it's going to be pretty sweet. I mean, Geffen, what? Founded Asylum Records, founded Geffen Records, DGC Records, co-found DreamWorks Records. I mean, the guy has done quite a bit in the music industry.

You know, hello. Apparently, he's been. retired for a few years now. And so he's been retired. He's Mr. Guru at 82. And he's got his 32-year-old boyfriend. Okay. You can't put an age limit on love.

I know that. But you can't put an age limit on. I am going to milk you for everything you're worth. And this Donovan Michaels is going to be, what a move by him. What a move by him. Now, maybe he's devastated that his, love of his life, David Geffen, wants to divorce him now.

Man, he could probably only be able to get through life now with a billion dollars. Plus, I need one of those homes. I don't have any place to live. So I need at least a home and a billion. And I'll go away quietly. Wow. These guys, man, these guys, is just incredible. Whether it's a woman or a man, it's the same thing.

These old guys just want. to find love. They're willing to pay for it, I guess. David, you know, this is a message. You can email me at chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I'm willing to, you know, at least you and I could maybe go out and have dinner together. You know, just talk. You know, if you need somebody to talk to, I'm here for you, David.

Chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Just email me. You can direct message me on X at Jeffrey JFR. You can message me on Facebook or Instagram, Jeff Fisher Radio as well. You can do all that. but I'm here for you, David, and don't you fret. I know you're going to be distraught over the end of your relationship, your marriage with Donovan, Michael,

as your 32-year-old, 50-year-old, 50-year-old, husband, wife, boyfriend. But I'm here for you, David, and to help you through it, because, I mean, what else do you need? I'm here for you. They never learn. I mean, at 80, two years ago. His husband now was 30. Did you think that the guy, 50 years you younger,

is going to, you and him are going to have a lot in common, and it's all going to work out after a period of time? The answer to that is no. But anyway, you know, they got married, and no pre-up, that's what's surprising. And so now this Donovan guy is just going to, I mean, I would if I was him, good for him. And, I mean, they never, look at Bill Belichick.

the greatest football coach of all time, or arguably so. And he's now in the middle of this turmoil over his girlfriend and what she does at University of North Carolina. And the talk is all about that. And it's not about UNC football. I would not be surprised if just a, not too long, not too long from now, Bill Belichick will be removed as head coach of the University of North Carolina.

Because they, this can't go on. I mean, he tried, he did another interview where he tries to distance her from the football program and what she does for him is separate from what is happening at the football program and there are reports that she no longer shows up at the training facilities. I think it's too late because the conversation is all about her and not about UNC football and Bill Belichick. So I would not be surprised if after all the hoopla at UNC that Bill Belichick gets the boot because of his young girlfriend. Maybe not. Maybe not. Maybe they give him into the season. But if he doesn't win at UNC, have a nice day. It's just, we've talked about it before, but it's just so sad because it just makes you look like a fool.

And nobody likes to be looked at like a fool. And you can quote me on that. This episode is brought to you by Peloton. A new era of fitness is here.

All right. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's begin with Guy Edward Bartkus, guy Edward Bartkus dead at the age of 25. Now, he died because he blew himself up. He injured four other people as well.

He had a car bomb outside a California fertility clinic. Wow. According to authorities, he is part of a group that they claim are anti-natalist views. Anti-natalist? What is an anti-natalist? Anti-natalism. Okay. Anti-natalism is folks who say no one,

should have kids ever. Okay. So he was an anti-natalist. Okay, so he blew himself up and injured four other people. Thankfully, according to the clinic, they didn't have any customers at the time that he blew himself up. And then he had the car bomb at the fertility clinic. And I guess he was live streaming it or said he was going to live stream.

And so this was part of his manifesto as an anti-natalist. Ugh, my gosh. Yes, rest in peace, I guess, to Guy Edward Bartkus, dead at the age of 25, I guess. These guys are tough, man, because, you know, these murderers are just really tough to say rest in peace, too. But, you know, okay, all right, you got it. Rest in peace. And then we have the death of a beaver. No, not that.

Don't look at me like that. I'm talking about an actual beaver. The central New York Zoo is mourning the loss of an animal who was found dead. So the beaver went missing. Nobody knew where the beaver was. And the male American beaver who escaped out of the Utica Zoo was found dead after he was struck and killed by a car. Oh, no. Now, apparently a good Samaritan brought it to the zoo.

I mean, thank you. But did he come in walking with the dead beaver in his arms? I mean, there's got to be a picture of that somewhere, right? So then they had the microchip and the microchip scan that it was cauliflower, the beaver, dead at the age of two. So rest in peace to cauliflower, the two-year-old beaver who ventured out on his own. and did not know how to do well in the wild of the city of New York. And so he was hit on the road.

It doesn't say if they caught the person who hit the beaver or not, or if the person, the good Samaritan was the person who hit the beaver and then, you know, sadly brought the beaver to the zoo. But good for them, good for them for taking care of it. Now cauliflower can rest in peace back at home at the zoo. dead at the age of two. Now, someone who is not dead yet, but looks like it's very possible

that it's going to happen very soon. Joe Biden, former president of the United States of America, has been diagnosed with aggressive form of prostate cancer. Aggressive form of prostate cancer. He was, this has been like five months since he's left office. And the doctor said the cancer cells have spread to the bone. And we just found this out.

Huh. Weird. Apparently, just last week, the doctor said, hey, is that a prostate nodule? He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday. And we already know the cells are spread to the bone. And we just found this out.

So the guy with the best health care in the world, the president of the United States, Joe Biden, five months ago, did not know that he had prostate cancer that has spread to the bone. I find that very difficult to believe. But okay, if that's what you say, that's what you say.

And of course, everyone has reached out saying that they're sad to hear about it and that we wish everything the best and we want Joe to have a successful recovery. Okay, do we? I mean, he was supposed to cure cancer, I thought. And this means that he has not cured cancer. But we just were going to believe that the, The man who we saw deteriorate in the Oval Office was just now, five months after leaving office,

that he has been found with this cancer. Okay. All right. Sure. Absolutely. And do I wanted to make a full recovery? Sure. Absolutely.

I don't wish prostate cancer on anyone. I don't wish that on anyone. I don't wish. We just talked about this last week. Bladder. cancer. I've talked so much about bladder cancer this last year. It's amazing to me that I continue to hear about bladder cancer. And I found out today that the world's first human bladder transplant has successfully been carried out a couple of weeks ago because the recipient

lost the majority of the original organ to cancer. So now, I mean, they're even, we've heard so much about bladder cancer that now we're transplanted bladders. So I don't wish bladder cancer on anyone, but now we can at least have the first human bladder transplant. I wonder if does that, did that come from an actual human or a pig? So the patient had lost most of his bladder during a tumor removal, leaving the remainder too small and compromised to work. Both of his kidneys were also subsequently removed due to renal cancer in the setting of pre-existing end-stage kidney disease. As a result, he was on dialysis for seven years. Wow. The biggest risk to organ transplantation are the body's potential rejection of the organ side effects caused by the mandatory immune suppressing

drugs given to Brent organ rejection. Right. Because of the need of long-term immunosuppression, the best current candidates are those who are already either in immunosuppression or have an in eminent need for it. Okay, right, we got that. Okay, so where did the bladder come from? During the complex procedure, the surgeons transplanted the donated kidney following that with the bladder, the new kidney was then connected to the new bladder using a technique that Nassarian Gil pioneered.

The entire procedure lasted approximately eight hours. That's great. Where did the bladder come from? And the kidney. The kidney immediately made a large volume of germ and the patient's kidney function. and the patient's kidney function improved immediately. There was no need for any dialysis after surgery and the urine drain properly into the new bladder. That's great.

Where did the bladder come from? Okay, the recovery of the kidney and bladder from the donor. Okay, here we go. So it was a donor. But we don't know if it was alive or dead. Let's see. The bladder from the donor was performed at one legacy. Okay, all parts and the procedure, including surgery and post-surgical monitoring during the transplantation.

were aligned with the highest current clinical research standards. Okay, so we don't know. We don't know what the donor, who the donor is, what the donor is, but we just know that we're calling it a donor. So the donor could be a human, a pig. We're guessing it's a human, and we're guessing that it was still alive. But it doesn't say that. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats.
