Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. Let's start with good news. Yes, it's always good to start with good news. We talked yesterday about the construction workers that were stuck in the collapsed tunnel in India for 17 days. They are safe.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Yay! Arriva, ariva! No, no, no, no, it's India. It's a different. 41 construction workers emerged dazed and smiling after the collapsed tunnel was dug through. And, I mean, India was happy. They set off fireworks and they were all happy
Starting point is 00:01:16 and they long-lived mother in India. And they had brief checkups by doctors. But they had, and they hung garlands around their necks and the crowd cheered and everyone is all happy and you know good for them 41 construction workers were stuck
Starting point is 00:01:36 and incredible that they were still alive no one was seriously injured or killed when the landslide that caused the section of the tunnel to collapse on the morning of November 12th wow I mean that's a long time down there man and they were provided food
Starting point is 00:01:56 water and oxygen and through pipes. More than a dozen doctors, including psychiatrists, were also at the site, monitoring their health. So all 41 made it through the ordeal in good health, and they were emerged and taken pictures of
Starting point is 00:02:15 by the media and whisked away at ambulances. And they were giving a checkup, and now they're all released and get out of here. So, yay! I mean, they were digging. People were hand digging. They were going in at different angles. And they had these pipes sending them food, medicine,
Starting point is 00:02:39 and, of course, air in this collapsed tunnel. And they got them all out. So, like I said, good news. Good, good news. Congratulations to India for figuring out a way to save 41 people when the landslide collapsed. on top of this beautiful tunnel that they're building to, I don't know where the tunnel's going.
Starting point is 00:03:07 I don't even know if they know where the tunnel is going. I'm sure it's for trains, though, because that's what they ride. All right, I'm turning this into something I shouldn't turn it into. Congratulations. It's gosh darned, it's good news that these people are all safe. I'm serious. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fast.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Okay, so we're heading into winter. It's not officially winter yet, right? Right, I mean, winter, actual winter is days away, right? December 21st, I believe, is the first day of winter, 2023. So, anyway, it is winter season. And we also call that cuffing season. And you know what cuffing is, right? Everybody wants to have a boyfriend or a girlfriend
Starting point is 00:04:02 during the winter. So you can spend the holidays. And then once springtime comes, uncuffing season. Get out. All right. I want to be free for the summer. Look at me.
Starting point is 00:04:13 I've lost all this weight. I'm looking good. I'm heading into the summer. I'm wearing my bikini without you. Okay? That's what's happening. That's uncuffing. And so I was looking at this new,
Starting point is 00:04:25 well, it's kind of a study that Ashley Madison did. Now Ashley Madison, of course, is the website for people. I mean, their old slogan, maybe there's a new slogan as well. Life is short, have enough hair. Gotta love that. So they examined where their members live
Starting point is 00:04:48 to uncover hotspots across the world when it comes to adulterous behavior. All right. So the top 20 here in the United States of America in the top five are three Florida cities my adopted home state number one is Miami number two is Orlando
Starting point is 00:05:11 and number five is my adopted hometown Tampa Tampa Bay it just says Tampa though but Tampa Bay really and then number three Atlanta number four Las Vegas which really doesn't seem like a surprise but then you have Cincinnati Minneapolis St. Paul wow Minneapolis St. Paul seven and eight
Starting point is 00:05:29 I thought those were the same thing. And they're different cities, Jeffis. Just like Dallas Fort Worth, okay? They're different cities. Okay, I got it. Buffalo and Pittsburgh, rounding out the top ten of most prone to cheating based on the study done by Ashley Madison. So if you live in those cities and you are cuffed right now, you may, you know, look around and think to yourself,
Starting point is 00:06:03 I may be cuffed, but are they uncuffing with someone else? Because it's possible. It's definitely possible. Because we know infidelity is truly universal. That, of course, comes from the head of Ashley Madison. And they see people from across the political spectrum joining the site. And we've seen research outside of our company that shows that more right-leaning people tend to sign up for Ashley Madison.
Starting point is 00:06:36 So it shouldn't come as a surprise that some of the locations were in the Midwest. I guess so the Midwest is right-leaning and the people on the coast are left-leaning. I guess that makes sense. But, you know, people in Tampa, that's the East Coast. But Tampa is on the West Coast, so it's on the West Coast of the East Coast of North America. I know. I wish I'd have been the one that thought of that, but I wasn't. I still like it, though.
Starting point is 00:07:03 So if you live in those cities, you can just go ahead and feel free to uncuff any darn time you like. You know, speaking of uncuffing, did you see where the... He's a hospital worker. He's an electrician at a hospital. They find now that he had sex with more than 100 corpses over 15 years and went, undetected due to serious failures, you think? So he had sex with more than 100 corpses over a 15-year period
Starting point is 00:07:39 and was able to do so because of these serious failures of management, governance, regulation, and processes and a persistent lack of curiosity. Yeah, he would just show up at the hospital and nobody cares. It's an electrician. No, no, no, no. I mean, he may have been playing that music because the reason he got, okay, so they busted him. He's in jail for murder, all right?
Starting point is 00:08:08 They busted him for killing two women because his DNA, you know, they used DNA to catch him for these two movies. They also discovered millions of images of sexual abuse in his home. Wow. Now, in these images, there's millions. Millions. That's incredible. You talk about a sick, sick individual, man. So he's got millions of images of sexual abuse in his home. I'm not laughing.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Just why are you doing that to me? Don't. All right. Now, inside of these, you know, within these millions of images, there were videos of him having sex with these dead bodies. Women and girls in the mortuaries at two hospitals where he worked. Now the police say it was truly shocking. It was truly shocking to them.
Starting point is 00:09:06 And now so he's already he's already in prison for a life for the two murders. He pleaded guilty, the two counts of murder. And then now he's going to serve a concurrent 12-year term after admitting to dozens of instances of necrophilia. He committed 140,000,
Starting point is 00:09:27 violations against the bodies of at least 101 girls and women. Oh man. This young kids. But, you know, I say, and these young kids, but, I mean, they were already dead.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Nobody wants it. No, just stop. Don't, not even. Just stop it. So he committed these crimes, taking risks during working hours when other employees were in the mortuary. So other people are in the mortuary,
Starting point is 00:09:56 and he's... Oh, yeah. This one only died yesterday. Okay, stop. Stop. Just not even on it. So he's an electrician, so he would, you know, perform maintenance of the refrigeration system
Starting point is 00:10:19 and the mortuary. And so they just let him in. Let him. Ah, I don't worry about it. It's just fuller. He's back there fixing the refrigerator. Is that what it sounds like when he's fixing the refrigeration? I'll get this thing working anytime.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Oh, not cold enough in here yet. All right, stop. It's not even, why you don't even make me go there? I mean, so now, I mean, just a sick individual. This guy got away with it for all these years, man. He got away with, he got away with murder from, 1987 until I think they ended up getting the DNA in 2020 on this guy. And then because they were going through his millions of pictures,
Starting point is 00:11:13 they find the videos of him in the hospitals. Wow. I just, the guy's 69 now. He can't live long enough to feel bad enough about what he's done. And there's no way he's going to feel bad enough. gonna feel bad about what he's done because he's just a you know a sick freak no question about it but don't you dare don't you dare don't do it i'm just going to go to the break room because i can feel you're going to make me talk about refrigeration work i mean i never let's be honest
Starting point is 00:11:58 all right no let's not be honest let's not be honest let's just go to the break room and get and cold to drink. Oh, a drink that's been refrigerated. Go to the break room, stop it. So sometime over the Thanksgiving holiday, I saw a video of a lady who talked about her car burning down, and then she showed her Stanley Cup that survived the fire.
Starting point is 00:12:35 And I thought, okay, cool, that's great. That's cool. And then I got to thinking about Stanley, you know, vacuum bottles and you go to their website Stanley 1913.com and I was looking at the Stanley vacuum cups and I remember my grandfather my actual grandfather having some Stanley cups
Starting point is 00:12:53 I may even have one somewhere and some camping equipment these Stanley cups that you use for you know coffee or tea or whatever you know whatever liquid you want to have just you know really really good products right instead of the Stanley products Well, her video went viral.
Starting point is 00:13:13 This Danielle, and she shared the video revealing her car post-fire where the Stanley mug survived. Ice still intact. And, you know, obviously a viral video. Well, Stanley's global president, Terrence Riley, responded to the TikTok. And pretty incredible that Stanley actually responded. But it was a good move. and especially heading into the holidays. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Hey, Daniel. Oh, you can't pause it. Okay. Yeah. So that was the beginning of her video where she talks about her car being on fire and she pulls out the Stanley Cup and she says that there was still ice in it, right? Pretty remarkable. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:14:04 And then we hear the beginning of Terence who's saying, hey, Danielle. My name is Terrence Riley. I'm the president of Stanley. And we've all seen your video. Wow, what an ordeal. And we're all really glad you're safe. Thanks for sharing the video because, wow, it really shows how Stanley, our Stanleys are built for life.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Because what it went through with you, I couldn't think of a better example of our products quality. But anyway, we're glad you're safe. I've seen a lot of comments that we should send you some Stanleys. Yeah. Well, we're going to send you some Stanleys. But there's one more thing. We've never done this before.
Starting point is 00:14:42 and we'll probably never do it again, but we'd love to replace your vehicle. Yeah. Nice. All of us at Stanley, we'd really like to replace your vehicle. So check your DMs for details. Thanks. Be safe.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Cheers. I mean, that's awesome. You don't get that from companies very much in today's world. Right? I mean, he reaches out to her, uses social media, check your DMs,
Starting point is 00:15:08 and we're glad you're safe, shows the greatness of our product and guess what we're going to send you our products he could have just stopped it there guess what we're going to send you some stanleys send me a dm and i'll send you a a new cooler a new cooler that could have been it but no then they're going to replace her car that's that's really awesome and uh so i guess that means where he said we'll probably never do that again i shouldn't you know try the same thing and burn my old car down that i don't want and just pull the stanley out the fire right hey Terrence Jeff Fisher here look at this Stanley Cup fine survived
Starting point is 00:15:51 too I guess Danielle wasn't joking I need a new Stanley too please and if you wanted to replace my vehicle you can do that as well thank you so I don't know if it had anything to do with Stanley but I see where the consumer confidence rose for the first time in four months. The Conference Board Index rose from 99.1 in October to 102 in November, thanks to what they say, is a U.S. consumers optimism around short-term income, hiring prospects, and the slowdown in inflation. And the perceived likelihood of a recession also fell to the lowest lowest low.
Starting point is 00:16:42 level of 2023. Well, I mean, okay. So two-thirds of Americans still think one is either somewhat or very likely to happen in the next year. I mean,
Starting point is 00:16:55 a lot of people would say that we're already in one. And we have been in one. And I would like to talk to the people who have this newfound optimism toward our consumer confidence level. but good news.
Starting point is 00:17:14 I mean, this show is just full of good news today. Man, I don't know how much more good news I can take. All right, I'll add to it then. The U.S. is now producing more crude oil than ever. 13.2 million barrels per day, per the Energy Information Administration, topping the pre-COVID peak of 13.1 million. That's nearly double the volume from a day. decade ago and up from the 5 million produced when Barack Obama entered the White House.
Starting point is 00:17:51 The U.S. is the world's largest oil producer by a country mile, according to this article. Is it a country mile longer than a mile? Yes, yes it is. Don't you know that? Yes, it is. Yeah, the country blocks, you know, the country square mile is actually, you know, not just a mile. It's more than a mile. It's actually probably a little bit over. The country block would be, I think, a little over four miles, actually. We have a little about, you know, a mile square. Anyway, I was thinking about Tuscola County, Michigan, right there.
Starting point is 00:18:25 What am I growing up days? So, 21% of global oil production in 2022. Wow. Saudi Arabia is in second place at 13%. We need to never stop that. We need to drill, drill, drill, drill. and right now I feel like this administration is not doing that and you know we're talking I kept wondering about
Starting point is 00:18:47 what's happening with the gas prices because they you know we're falling and I'm like something as fishy is happening well according to an article in zero hedge they said no it's not Biden gasoline prices fall almost every year between August and November so why don't you just shut up about it okay
Starting point is 00:19:09 Pretty much what the article said. And that falls like that every year. Due to RVP specifications, and I know you know this, I'm talking down to you now, but when September arrives, RVP specifications transition to cold weather blends with RVP limits as high as 15 PSI in some locations. This transition significantly impacts
Starting point is 00:19:32 gasoline production costs, specifically concerning the inclusion of butane. Duh. So there's specific RVP limits. They vary by state, but it's cheaper to make so. You know, the prices drop. Just let you know. But just so I can't have it all be good news,
Starting point is 00:19:51 and just so we know that the gasoline prices are still at least 20% above their 10-year average for this time of year. So while prices have been dropping, and we talked about that as well, we've become used to, I'm happy. I'm paying, I don't know, I don't remember. The last time I got gas was, I don't know, just before Thanksgiving. I haven't filled up since.
Starting point is 00:20:17 I didn't go anywhere. I drove the, my wife, my wife went places, okay? I did not. And she doesn't drive my car. No. Sorry. Anyway, and not because it's any better. She's like she doesn't want to be seen driving in my Volkswagen.
Starting point is 00:20:33 But I'm just saying that gas prices are lower than I would. expected and they're still too high. Like I'm happy about paying $252. I'm paying $2.52 a gallon. Wow, that's low prices. No, no, it's not. That's not good at all. I'm becoming used to.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I've been Overton windowed. That's not $4 a gallon. It's $252. We've all been Overton windowed on the gas prices. And we're number one in oil production. Those prices need to drop dramatically. At Desjardin, we speak. business. We speak startup funding and comprehensive game plans. We've mastered made to measure growth

Store bought soap will get you clean, but while it's doing that, it's also drying out your skin.
Starting point is 00:22:04 And then, of course, you have to keep buying products like lotions, stuff made by the same company. Huh, that's kind of weird, isn't it? Soap doesn't do that when it's made the right way with goat's milk. And that's what Quinn Pittman discovered when he first started learning about soap.
Starting point is 00:22:25 been making it the right way ever since. You want your skin to be clean, but you also want to retain its moisture. Hello, you need goat soap.

Quinn, we talked to Quinn on the show not long ago.
Starting point is 00:23:11 And I, in fact, called him Goat King on the show. And he signed the email that he sent me Goat King. So I believe it's taken on. So go to QPgoatsope.com and get your Quinn Pittman goat soap, the goat king, Quinn Pitman goat soap, and realize that you two can have your skin be clean, but also retain its moisture.

Starting point is 00:23:47 Get 10% off the total order, QPgoatsoap.com. Who died today? Who died today? Charlie Munger. Charlie Munger, dead at the age of 99. And if you're asking yourself, who? Well, he's the investing guru and right-hand man to Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway. He died in a California hospital yesterday. If you're listening live, today is the 29th of November, 2023. uh he was uh independent of being berkshire hathaway's vice chairman according to he was CEO of wesco capital well that was until 2011 and that's when uh warren bought westco said uh okay you're with me now and so buffett and munger uh you know made berkshire a monster of the monster that it is and so he was only worth 2.5 billion though so he I'm sure
Starting point is 00:24:53 I'm sure it lived fairly well all that 2.5 billion but Warren is what worth than 100 million I'm like that 100 billion I'm sorry not million 100 billion I think Warren is one of the top four still over 100 billion right because the last billionaire report homeboy from France was number one Elon was number two Bezos was number three and Buffett
Starting point is 00:25:17 was number four, as far as the top four, and they were the top four, still over $100 billion. Homeboy from France is over $200 billion, but the rest of them are all under $200 billion. Anyway, at one point, Elon was number one past, what's his face from France, but not anymore. Anyway, so Warren just kept munger around. I mean, if he wants to have me around and just give me $2.5 million,
Starting point is 00:25:47 And I'm here for you, Warren. I'm here for you. I don't really want to move to Nebraska, but you know what? I will. And what a beautiful place you have. And I'm happy to live in Lincoln, Nebraska. And that'd be great.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Anyway, Warren said that Berkshire Hathaway could not have been built to its present status without Charlie's inspiration, wisdom, and participation. Yeah, it's going to be sad. They were buds. they were actually good friends.
Starting point is 00:26:18 So Charlie Munger, dead at the age of 99. Then, you know what I forgot to mention yesterday, and they had her memorial service yesterday. She passed away while we were gone for the Thanksgiving over the Thanksgiving holiday. Rosalind Carter, dead at 96. I know. Rest in peace.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Rosalind Carter, born Elizabeth. Rosalind Carter I guess she didn't like Eleanor so she just gave that up and she said I'm not Eleanor, okay? She actually had a pretty amazing life
Starting point is 00:26:59 and she was married to Jimmy for the former president of the United States Jimmy for about 100 years they were married she wasn't even 100 years old I know they were married before they were born they were married for like 77 years or something like that just incredible
Starting point is 00:27:15 and so she they had the big memorial service for her yesterday and they are believe laying her to rest today yesterday was the memorial service and you saw you saw all the former living first ladies were at her service Melania Michelle Obama almost called her big mic Michelle Obama what's her face Laura Bush what's your face, Hillary. Bill was there and then Jill and Joe and Kamala and Doug
Starting point is 00:27:53 were in the row behind them. They did show up but they're not sitting in the front row. Yeah, you're the VP and you're the hubby of the VP so sit back there and look over the shoulders. And Jimmy showed up and Jimmy's been in hospice and he's like 99 now.
Starting point is 00:28:09 I'm surprised, I mean, I figured immediately as soon as it was announced that she passed away, they've been married for so long and been together for so long that he is not going to be long for the world now. He was staying alive for her.
Starting point is 00:28:28 And he's been in hospice. I'd forgotten about that. He's been in hospice. And they rolled him out yesterday. He did not look good, man. I mean, he actually looked worse than Joe Biden, which was an amazing feat.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Because at first, the first picture I saw of him, I thought it was Joe. And I was like, holy cow. Somebody needs to do something. But it wasn't. It was Jimmy. And it was just sad. The one picture at the memorial where they show them all the crowd and everybody's, you know, Jimmy's there in his wheelchair and his blanket.
Starting point is 00:29:05 He's just so sad. He won't be long for this world. And it was just really sad. So Rosalind Carter, dead. age of 96. Rest of people. And so we're clear. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:18 She didn't die of that. She was 96. And it doesn't say anywhere, anywhere that she died of that. Okay? So don't even think about it. And Charlie Munger, for that matter. I mean, he
Starting point is 00:29:31 was, you know, peaceful at the hospital. And they didn't give a cause for his death. He was 99. So it wasn't that. Couldn't have been that. because they would have
Starting point is 00:29:44 I would have said it I would have said it plus I also remember that you know there's two cities in Nebraska that anybody cares about Lincoln Omaha and I said Lincoln
Starting point is 00:29:58 okay so you know Warren that piece of crap Buffett lives in Omaha not Lincoln I remember the only thing I can think of my stepdad was born and raised
Starting point is 00:30:13 in Broken Bow, Nebraska, the far western end. And, you know, he talked, I got Nebraska stories to the end of time from him. I miss him, rest of peace, Richard. But he, you know, was raised, born and raised in the far western end. He did go to the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. He also went to the University of Michigan. Mr. Showoff.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Got to go to two universities. Okay. Okay, got it. Engineering degree at Nebraska. Business degree at Michigan, okay. That was just me hitting the mic. Don't worry about it. And so I got a lot of Nebraska stories.
Starting point is 00:30:51 When my son, my oldest son, was being recruited to play college football, Nebraska was one of the teams that was recruiting him. So he went there on a weekend, visit camp kind of thing. And he flies into Omaha and then drives to Lincoln. And he calls me between Omaha and Lincoln, and he goes, Dad. Grandpa was right There's nothing out here
Starting point is 00:31:15 I knew then He wasn't going to be going to Nebraska I see where our man here in DFW Mark Cuban The billionaire businessman And Dallas Mavericks owner Said on a podcast called All the Smoke
Starting point is 00:31:34 That he is going to be leaving Shark Tank And after what Like 15, 16 seasons of Shark Tank he said that you know what next year is going to be my last year I got one more year to go
Starting point is 00:31:48 and you know ABC apparently just found it out from the podcast too because they have not confirmed any pending departure so they were like
Starting point is 00:31:59 wait what he's leaving the show what what what what what so apparently he wants to I don't know spend time with his kids what do they all say
Starting point is 00:32:07 and then we find out that he sold the Mavericks well, a big percentage of the Mavericks. He's still going to be in charge of all the basketball operations and still be the guy. But he sold the team to Miriam Adelson. She's the owner of the Mavericks now. She's the largest shareholder of the Las Vegas Sands.
Starting point is 00:32:33 She's a casino tycoon. Isn't interesting that Cuban sold the Mavericks to the casino tycoon, And he and Jerry are big on trying to get a casino and gambling here in Texas. So I'm sure that Mark wants to spend the time with his family as he's trying to build a casino here in DFW and get Texas to do gambling. So he can become an even bigger billionaire. And that's what's going to happen. I mean, he's worth what now? So according to this, he's worth...
Starting point is 00:33:10 or the deal for the Mavericks is worth around $3.5 billion. Now, he paid $285 million for the team. That's a pretty good return on investment. All right? Yeah, no doubt about it. So he remains in full control of basketball operations. But I guess he needed an extra $3.5 billion. And who doesn't?
Starting point is 00:33:37 Who doesn't? You know, when you want to spend time with your kids, You need an extra $3.5 billion. But if he's, I mean, he's getting rid of Shark Tank. He's getting rid of owning the team. He's not going to get into politics, right? It's key. He's not, no way.
Starting point is 00:33:54 He's got to be getting behind the gambling here in Texas. He wants to build that casino. He wants the Mavericks. And it's a deal with her. What's her face? Adelson, because she can bring in the casino. because they want to have the team play. They want to have a huge area
Starting point is 00:34:15 so that you go and see the team, you have the casino, you have the hotels, everything all at one huge venue or area. And it would all be together, but they can't do that until they get the gambling. And they've got to get that done.
Starting point is 00:34:32 So maybe the $3.5 million will, you know, pay off the politicians to get gambling. Oh, no, stop. That kind of thing doesn't happen. Jeez, man, sorry about that. I know better than that. There's no bribery going on for stuff like that. That's just silly of me.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Okay, so it does make sense, though, if he's going to get into politics, he could run for governor of the state of Florida and change the gambling laws in the state and then fulfill the destiny of what he wants to do as far as gambling and the Mavericks and Jerry and the casinos here in DFW and Texas. That makes sense, right?
Starting point is 00:35:14 Because when is Abbott done with his governorship of Texas? Yeah, he just won re-election last year. Okay, so he's good until 26. So Cuban isn't done with Shark Tank until next year. And he's already cutting back on what he has to do for the, for the basketball team. He's head of operations. He could do that standing on his head now.
Starting point is 00:35:43 He's done that long enough, right? I mean, the basketball operations. That entity probably pretty much runs itself now. Obviously, it's day-to-day work. I got it. But, you know, that entity runs itself. It's all the other stuff that ties up his time. So, and he wants to spend time with his children
Starting point is 00:36:03 because they're getting older now. So I'm sure he's going to spend a lot of time with them on the road campaigning for the governorship of Texas. That actually could happen because the old 3.5 billion that he gets for the basketball team, I could
Starting point is 00:36:20 buy some ads. I just want to say Mark vote for Mark Cuban. Hi, this is Jeff Fisher. Vote for Mark Cuban. I'm willing to do ads for you. You know, I could use, I'll do ads for you
Starting point is 00:36:35 for, well, less than 3.5 billion. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. So I see where Google has now got it up and running, the first of its kind geothermal project, is now running in Nevada where it will help power Google's data centers with
Starting point is 00:37:22 clean energy. Google is partnering with startup Fervo, which has developed new technology for harnessing geothermal power. And since they're using different tactics than traditional geothermal plants, it's a relatively small project with the capacity to generate 3.5 megawatts, which is weird because we think it would generate more. But, I mean, one megawatt is enough to meet
Starting point is 00:37:47 the demand of roughly 750 homes. So the project will feed electricity into the local grid That serves two of Google's data centers Outside of Las Vegas and Reno It's part of Google's plan to run the world No, it's part of Google's plan to run on carbon pollution-free electricity Around the clock by 2030 To reach that goal, it'll have to get more sources of clean energy online
Starting point is 00:38:14 And it sees geothermal as a key part of the future electricity mixed that it can fill in whenever wind and solar energy wane, which will be a lot. So they're going to need to be able to create some serious electricity. I mean, that's part of the problem, is that there's too much energy not addressed with wind and solar, so they need to find another way to do it, trying to get away from fossil fuels.
Starting point is 00:38:45 I mean, if it works great, but we shall see speaking of wind electricity you see where the Christmas tree at the White House the Washington D.C. Christmas tree
Starting point is 00:38:59 fell over? Incredible! Okay, so apparently they never had wind in the Washington, D.C. before. Don't they have that security? You put it in a stand
Starting point is 00:39:12 and like, have you ever pitched a tent? You know, and you put up a couple of wires to keep the tree up. Just amazing. But I will say this, that it was pointed out that some people feel like,
Starting point is 00:39:24 you know, this is a perfect representation of this administration. Mr. President, Mr. President. How about that Christmas tree? He was dumby. He didn't have anything to do with it. I know.
Starting point is 00:39:40 It was it. I get it. But they had to bring in cranes, and I saw the pictures of it now. I mean, it's looking cock-eyed. They're going to have to get some people. people up there and kind of Jimmy Jerry rigged that thing around to try to make it look good. All right, just spin it around. Put that side on the back toward the corner of the house, okay?
Starting point is 00:39:57 It's outside and there's no corner of the house. You know how you get the real trees and you don't have to decorate in the back because nobody sees the back. You just decorate the three sides. Anyway, you know what I'm talking about. And so we'll see what happens with the old Christmas tree. I mean, you just don't wheel one of those bad boys in. Remember we did the story of where it comes from, this giant tree.
Starting point is 00:40:17 It takes days. They shipped it around the country, showing it off for days, and now they get it into Washington, D.C., and it falls over. That is just amazing. And I see, oh, speaking of our first family, while they were at Jimmy's, Rosalind's funeral, and it should have been Jimmy's two. They were with all of it together.
Starting point is 00:40:40 I see where they're not hanging the grandkids' Christmas stockings on the fireplace at the White House anymore because they're doing it at Camp David. That's where the family is. We're going to hang the dogs up. So we've kicked the dogs out of the White House, but we're going to hang their stockings up in the White House. With the only reason we don't want to hang,
Starting point is 00:40:59 make a big deal about hanging the grandkids stockings up at the White House is because they don't want to have to talk about not hanging up the grand kid down in Arkansas that Hunter is paying for that's actually a grandkid, but nobody wants to talk about. No, that's not a grand kid of mine. No grand kid of mine is coming from a bartender. That's just not a bunch of dofuses. I see where Sean Diddy Combs,
Starting point is 00:41:33 temporarily stepping down as chairman of a revolt, the Music Focus TV network, he co-founded back in 2013, amid multiple sexual assault allegations. Okay, so these are all allegations. Sean, Diddy Combs. NYC Mayor Eric Adams, Guns and Roses frontman Axel Rose,
Starting point is 00:41:56 and actor Jamie Fox were part of this huge deal in New York for sexual abuse and harassment that took place decades ago. All right, it's no coincidence of these suits. They were filed at the end of the Adult Survivors Act, which expired last week. So the law went into effect November 24th, 2022, and it was only a year long. So it gave adult survivors one year to file civil abuse and harassment claims, no matter when the past the alleged incidents may have happened.
Starting point is 00:42:32 So the lift of the statute of limitations was intended to recognize the trauma inflicted on survivors that may have prevented them from coming forward previously. So now it was coming to an end. You know, the Adult Survivors Act was going to expire. And that's when the people who had that trauma decided, oh, man, I better do something. Because it's been preventing me from doing anything, all this trauma. So we're going to file all these lawsuits. I'm asking the one that Trump got mailed with with writer E. Gene.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Carol, which he was ordered to pay $5 million in damages. That story is that's unbelievable. I mean, no way he pays her. No way. That's ridiculous. She can't remember the day it happened in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman's, which is
Starting point is 00:43:28 it just no one was around. Bergdorf Goodman's, no one's around. Million dollar store. You can't pick up a scarf in that store for less than five grand. Well, okay, you can't for less than a few hundred dollars. I mean, you pick up a pair of socks, you're looking at a couple hundred dollars.
Starting point is 00:43:46 You can't, and there's no one around. He was in there all by himself and pushed. Stop it. Anyway, but we're supposed to live with Trump bad. I know, I know, I know, I know Trump bad. So there were plenty, most of the 2,500, there were more than 2,500 lawsuits
Starting point is 00:44:06 filed under the Adult Survivors Act in this past year. have alleged abuse at state prisons and local jails. They've claimed harassment at businesses, airports, spas, hospital systems. Okay. I know California, New Jersey have enacted look-back windows that remove a statue of limitations. And I get that there's a reason,
Starting point is 00:44:31 but we have to realize that the statute of limitations exists so that if you have something bad happened to you, you, you get it taken care of. And you face it right then. And you don't, it's just, it's so strange to me to think that there's trauma. I get not wanting to talk about things, although I don't understand why I don't get.
Starting point is 00:45:03 You didn't want to talk about it when it happened, but now you can't talk about it. No, if something bad happens, it should be taken care of, right then. That should have been taken care of right then. You can deal with the trauma if there is trauma after the fact.
Starting point is 00:45:19 I just some things I just don't understand. And I know it's just me. Sometimes you just have to think twice. Like this gentleman who said that he was watching a show for about 10 minutes and
Starting point is 00:45:35 had a lady on listing all these great things that you could do for fun. and then he realized that it was one of the religious channels and she was reading a list of sins. So some things you just don't understand. Maybe you should. Maybe you should.
