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. Florists in Louisiana may finally be free. Louisiana is the only state in the country.
Starting point is 00:00:30 country that requires florists to be licensed by the government. And a bill is now on the way to the governor's desk that, well, it won't change that fact. You're still going to have to pay the government. But you won't have to go through the mandatory test. All you just have to do is pay the king. And you can be a florist in Louisiana, which is probably pretty much true in any state in America if you want to be, have run a business, a florist. business you have to pay the king anyway but if you want to just be a florist say at the grocery
Starting point is 00:01:05 store you can be a florist they tell a story of a lady who was a florist at a grocery store which started this ball rolling and because she wasn't licensed they fired her they made the they made the company fire her and she ended up being homeless and not having any money at all. And so this is why we need to be able to be a florist without a license in any state. And is there some kind of strange thing I don't know about flowers that we need to have some kind of special training
Starting point is 00:01:51 to be a florist? Because, I mean, I've cut flowers before and put them in vases, and you look, and I'm colorblind, and I'm like, okay, well, that color break looks good. Those two different colors, three different colors looks fine. We'll put the guy with all those. I've done that at the floral department in a grocery store.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I've worked at grocery stores before. I don't know if I told you this already, but I have. And I didn't have a license. I did not have a floral license. So good luck to all the people in Louisiana, because you can now be a florist by only having to pay the state. You don't have to take the test. I know. Good times.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. How many is that? Because we've got to go up to 34. 34 times. 20,
Starting point is 00:03:27 30, and I probably already did four before then. So 31, 31, 32, 30, 34. Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! Exactly. Donald Trump, now a convicted felon. I know.
Starting point is 00:03:40 I know. And we'll see if he goes to prison or not. Judge Mershon has set the sentencing date for July 11th. Huh. That's just before the Republican National convention. Weird how that date sets in my head. Anyway, we'll see if the appeals
Starting point is 00:04:02 work and what happens to Donald. But they got what they wanted. Donald J. Trump, former, probably soon to be president again, is now a convicted felon. Amazing. Would you hear that? That means we have breaking news here on
Starting point is 00:04:23 CTF. CTF breaking news. Our man on the street reporter, Chris Cruz with breaking news. Chris What have you got for us? Hey, Fisher, can you hear me? I'm right here in front of Trump Tower in New York City. Oh, yeah, well, well, we got you. We got me.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I know President Trump, but the time of this recording has not given his press conference today. Not yet, but I'm waiting. I'm seeing a lot of people here that are ready to push back. But I did talk to some of the Trump campaign staffer. Okay, great. And if you remember yesterday, the website crashed. Right, after the verdict. I saw the verdict.
Starting point is 00:04:58 The website crashed. And they were able to give me numbers. Okay. Awesome. Because they were saying big numbers. Big numbers. The number 500 was on the screen, which meant it was broken down. It wasn't 404.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Because usually when a 404 shows up, we learned that today in the Packerer on Leach program is that that means 404 people logged in and broke it. The Trump website had 500. 500 people logged in and broke it. So we were to believe that Donald Trump didn't do this on purpose. This actually happened, right? We are to believe that Donald Trump did not do this on purpose now. That's very interesting you say that.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Because let's talk about theories after this. But it nearly doubled the biggest they ever recorded for the Trump campaign, $34.8 million. Oh, wow. $34 million. Now, that's huge. That's huge. But here's the number that I like. 29.7% of the donors, brand new donors that have never donated in the,
Starting point is 00:06:01 win red platform. Interesting. Interesting. And does it give a breakdown of what the average donation was? Yes. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Do we have that? No. I can't get to that now. I'm here at Trump Tower. I'm here at Trump Tower. I'm not going to say it out loud. There's too many Trump people around. I don't know if I want to talk about theories
Starting point is 00:06:24 about him wanting that website to be shut down for a brief time to make it look like a lot of people. were logging in before you took my call from here from Trump Tower we had we had a very interesting conversation and I have to agree with you do we bring back the website or do we leave it broken see I I kind of thought that you know the big sense the big news was the website was down because so many people were logging in I immediately thought well if I'm Donald Trump I want that website to be down and to look like so many people are
Starting point is 00:06:59 logging in to donate. And that brings a lot more press coverage than, you know, Joe from Indiana giving me $10. But, you know, maybe not. It's just, you know, what do I know? What do I know? So, Chris, are you close to the escalator there, the gold escalator? Or is he coming out of the elevator? Or where is this happening at Trump Tower?
Starting point is 00:07:24 Well, I guess that ends up. Thanks for giving us breaking news. on the street reporter for CTF breaking news Chris Cruz, thank you. And we'll look forward to more reports with Chris in the future. All right, we had a great recall we found out about yesterday
Starting point is 00:07:46 and it kind of, I'm not sure how I feel about it. 1.5 million portable bedrails were recalled over asphyxia hazards following two deaths at care facilities.
Starting point is 00:08:01 So the U.S. Consumer Product, Safety Commission announced this recall of the Medline Industries bed. So if you have one of the two models of the Medline Industry bed rail, it's being recalled because the bedrails are attached to an adult's bed. Users can become entrapped within the bed rail or between the bed rail and the side of the mattress. I mean, Corey, seriously, come on now. We're blaming that on the bedrail.
Starting point is 00:08:37 How about the health care facility he wasn't checking on their patients? What happened to Joe? I don't know. I guess he's stuck between the bed rail. Just let him lay there. So apparently it poses a serious entrapment hazard. Right! All right.
Starting point is 00:08:55 And the next thing you know, we got nothing. And what happened? I don't know. He was laying there in bed a second ago. now no one's laying in bed. Oh my gosh, he's stuck between the bed rail and the bed. Get help. So if you have the MDS 680BA or the MDS 680BAA,
Starting point is 00:09:17 well, I mean, holy cow, the MDS 680BAAH sold in cases of three units. So I don't know how many bedrails you need in a home, but maybe you have them. And so the Medline bed rail has been recalled. So be careful out there. How much of those things cost? Bedrails, they were $32 to $64 for a bed rail? No doubt.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I'm sure they're not very unhappy about having to recall their product. However, you know, it's sad that two people died. at a one in an Iowa nursing facility 87 year old woman and one at a residential care facility in South Carolina does not give you
Starting point is 00:10:13 I'm sure I guess that was the patient in South Carolina not the old lady in Iowa so rest in peace to the two people who got stuck in their bedrail between the bedrail and the mattress It's just not funny.
Starting point is 00:10:33 It's just not funny. It's just not funny. It just isn't. It's sad. People are getting stuck between their bedrails. So I hope this real kick with this recall works. I'll tell you that. If I had was this life call pendant
Starting point is 00:10:46 I wear around my neck. I pressed the button. I've fallen and I can't get up. See, but well, I mean, if she had that, if she had that particular, uh, life alert could she reach it if she's stuck between the mattress
Starting point is 00:11:07 if she's stuck between the mattress and the bedrail I don't think she could reach the the life alert because this is life alert are you okay I've fallen off the ladder and I can't get up
Starting point is 00:11:21 see you couldn't do it are you okay she couldn't reach it she couldn't even get a hold of the life alert people because she was stuck life alert are you okay I've fallen and I can't get up See
Starting point is 00:11:36 You know that's not happening with the bedrails I'm sorry So And it's not funny Gosh darn it When I got a great deal On a great gift at winners I started wondering
Starting point is 00:12:01 Could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter It's just $39.99 How could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister This gold watch for my partner A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss?
Starting point is 00:12:17 Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering. Start gifting. Winners find fabulous for less. Congratulations to Bruhot Soma. Bruhat Soma, who is now the champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Now, Bruhat or Soma, as her friend's caller,

Starting point is 00:19:50 You're right. There's no comparison. Bruha. Spelled 29 words in 90 seconds to shut down her competitor or his competitor. I'm not sure which. Ruha.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Buhat wasn't he. He was. They were both he's. That's what I said two brown boys. If you rewind the podcast, you'll remember here that I started this whole segment with like, isn't America
Starting point is 00:20:14 a racist nation? Well, but the Bible B, that kid did not sound, he sounded like a kid with a lisp and also a white kid from America. Is that true? Yes. So that's where we're, I'm going to go any farther because I'll get myself and everybody else in trouble too. So let's go to the break room and just move on.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Congratulations to Isaac. Congratulations to Brew Hot. You guys are fantastic. Let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. While the queen of pop being sued again, Madonna is being sued for her celebration tour. The concert goer believes that it was pornography without warning. I don't know if that's a crime, but it is to this person.
Starting point is 00:21:19 pornography without warning so I guess this Justin L-I-P-E-L-E-L-E-S who attended Madonna's show in Englewood, California Wow, from California is suing the singer because the concert was too sexual. He claimed the audience was forced to watch
Starting point is 00:21:41 topless women on stage simulating sex acts video circulating online for the celebration tour of show Madada's dancing giving lap dances on stage and even prompting an apparent erection from Ricky Martin during the Miami show. Okay. So this person believes that forcing consumers to wait hours in hot, uncomfortable arenas. Well, that's a problem in and of itself. That's a separate thing than, you know, too much pornography without warning.
Starting point is 00:22:18 All right. Anyway, forcing customers to wait hours in hot, uncomfortable arenas, and subjecting them to pornography without warning is demonstrative of Madonna's flippant disrespect of her fans. Oh, wow. So now she's already been sued for showing up late to shows, no question. But now she's being sued for, you know, overly sexualized show. What did you think you were getting into going to a Madonna show?
Starting point is 00:22:46 Is this guy, was he just mad that it was only women on stage? and wanted men on stage? I don't know. I don't know. I'm just asking. I'm just asking. And also, apparently, this would not be the first time that Madonna had reportedly asked to turn down the AC during a concert. She did the same thing in Miami. Fans expressed their discomfort over the heat of the show. And she said, take off your clothes.
Starting point is 00:23:15 that is awesome. So we'll see what happens. Let's see. He's suing Madonna and Promoter Live Nation for six crimes, including breach of written contract, negligent misrepresentation, emotional distress, false advertising. Wow. And his complaint also is that she deceived about the show's start time.
Starting point is 00:23:45 She's always late. She believes that's okay. She believes, hey, if I show up and walk out on stage, that's when the show starts, okay? Don't worry about what it says at what time the show is going to start on the ticket. When I walk out on the stage, that's when the show starts. You better just have your ass in the arena, okay? That's what she believes. There's no doubt about that.
Starting point is 00:24:08 So, you know, she's been late for shows all over the world. That's her trademark. And so, and her, you know, her management and attorneys all say, well, a reasonable concert goer would understand that the venue's doors will open at her before the ticketed time. What or more opening acts may perform while attendees arrive and make their way to their seats? And before the headline act takes the stage, the headline act will take the stage later in the evening. Again, Madonna takes the stage when Madonna takes the stage. Get over it. We'll see if anything comes of that.
Starting point is 00:24:45 that. You remember the guy who spent all the money on the dog collie costume? Like 14,000 bucks. And he wanted to have this hyper realistic collie costume so he looked like a dog and he could pretend that he was
Starting point is 00:25:01 a dog, the Japanese guy. And he wanted to fulfill his dream about becoming a border collie. Remember a Tocco, the human collie? said that challenges moving like a dog have led him to consider
Starting point is 00:25:19 imitating a host of other animals. Wait, what? Yeah. Dogs and humans have different bone structures and the way they bend their legs and arms, it's very difficult to make movements that look like this. So I might realistically be able to become another dog, a panda or a bear,
Starting point is 00:25:42 a fox or a cat, or a cat. cat also would be nice, but they're too small for humans to try. So I'd like to fulfill my dream of becoming another animal someday. So your dream
Starting point is 00:25:58 of being a border collie now that you've got the suit, that dream is fulfilled and you're done with that dream now. You want to move on to other animals. So good luck. Good luck. And I hope everything works out for you and your animal
Starting point is 00:26:13 costumes and I hope you live like whatever animal makes you happy. Be sure to follow me on my social media sites at Jeffie JFR on X.

You thought I was going to remind you that it was the first day of Pride Month, didn't you? Nope. I just want to remember it's the first day

Congratulations to the Dallas Mavericks as they advanced to the NBA finals. They beat Minnesota last night and now they will take on the Boston Celtics
Starting point is 00:28:15 in the NBA Finals. And that starts next week sometime. I think Thursday night is the first game of the NBA Finals. So congratulations to the Dallas Mavericks for moving on. They have a shot. They might pull this thing off. And the Dallas Stars, the hockey team is,
Starting point is 00:28:32 I think they're tied to two, and the best of seven against the Edmonton Oilers. I think that's who they're playing in NHL. We may get the hockey championship and the basketball championship, along with the Major League Baseball Championship. Oh, man, you want to talk about putting a burr in the owner of the Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones Saddle.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Aha! That will do it. And speaking of burrs in saddles, well, not really. I just was talking about the bird flu, so I guess I'm thinking of, speaking of birds in the saddle, a Michigan farm worker has tested positive for H5N1 avian influenza. So this marks the third human patient. And first, to experience respiratory symptoms, No sign of person-to-person transmission, though.
Starting point is 00:29:26 That's, don't even, don't even think about that. And this is incredible. I was reading a couple stories. One story from last week talked about some 50 herds in the U.S. have been affected. But this latest story from this morning talks about 67 herds in nine states have been affected, according to the U.S. Agricultural Department. In addition to herds in Michigan, dairy cattle in Colorado,
Starting point is 00:29:53 Kansas, Idaho, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota, the gravel pit state. Texas have tested positive for bird flu. Pretty incredible how fast this is spreading. And they still are, you know, telling you, oh, person to person, don't you worry about it. Everything is fine. Oh, and I said third, this is actually the fourth case overall in the U.S. Oh yeah, so there was the inmate in Colorado who had been working on a farm
Starting point is 00:30:25 Culling birds suspected to be infected with bird flu but that was back in 2022 so we don't even count that anymore so it's the third person that we have now that actually counts right? So globally right now less than a thousand cases
Starting point is 00:30:44 of H5N1 and humans have been identified CDC data shows that more than half of those patients died, but that death rate may be over an overestimate as mild cases may go on detected. Right. The CDC recommends that anyone in contact with dairy cattle, including bedding and animal feces, wear protective equipment, including safety glasses, waterproof aprons, and boots that can be sanitized.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Also, people should not drink unpasteurized raw milk. They threw that in there so you don't go up and give any more money to the Amish. But don't you worry, there's a new MRNA vaccine shown to be effective in preventing lab animal deaths from H5N1 avian flu. So no problem. There's a vaccine for it soon enough and everything will be just fine. Oh, don't forget, we've got the Boeing rocket supposed to go off tomorrow as well. I'm looking forward to that. Boeing has told the FAA
Starting point is 00:31:51 how it plans to improve safety well that is the you know on the airplane side so the manufacturer endured the travel industry equivalent of getting sent to the principal's office well yeah so it outlined its plan
Starting point is 00:32:06 to regain the public's trust in a three hour meeting with federal regulators per federal aviation administration Boeing executives pledged that the company will enhance oversight, simplify processes, and improve employee training in response to the cavalcade of safety incidents that have garnered international headlines in recent months. So everything is fine.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Just don't worry about it. The FAA said that, you know what, we're going to actively monitor Boeing's progress and we're going to have weekly review meetings. So again, everything is fine. Just stop your worry. I'm sick of hearing. I'm sick of hearing. about it. Right? Remember the guy that tried to take over Disney, Nelson Peltz?
Starting point is 00:32:56 Well, he lost his proxy battle against Disney. So he sold his entire steak. Fine. I'm going to take my toys and go home. He sold his entire steak for a billion dollars. Man.
Starting point is 00:33:11 I wish I had a stake of something worth a billion dollars. That would be really, really nice, but instead I've got to try to hope that I hit the lotto with everyone else involved in this world. I see where we do have some big drawings coming up
Starting point is 00:33:28 though. We have the mega millions tonight 31st of May 2024 for $522 million. Cash payout $241.4 million. And tomorrow June 1st,
Starting point is 00:33:44 we have a powerball drawing with a jackpot of 161. million dollars as a jackpot 75.2 million cash payout. While not a billion dollars, I mean, it may be worth it to win. It may be worth it to win. And you can quote me on that.
Starting point is 00:34:17 All right, joining me right now is Matt Kibby. Matt Kibby is president of Free the People. Okay, before we get to your new gig in a new show on Blaze TV, what is Free the People? What are we doing?
Starting point is 00:34:32 We are basically a video production crew. We are trying to tell video stories. We produce documentaries. We produce the podcast, Kibby on Liberty, all sorts of stuff. Because our idea is that Liberty can reach a much broader population of people because of technology. For all the censorship, we can reach them. So our goal is to reach young people, the Liberty curious, and turn them on to these ideas and values in a way that's not like, It's not just going to be dorky, boring economics or political philosophy.
Starting point is 00:35:06 It's beautiful stories about people. Good. I like that very much. I love that. Okay, so now you have the new thing on Blaze TV. BlazTV.com. I'm sure there's one for off the record. I mean, for the show.
Starting point is 00:35:21 What was the full title of the show is? The cover. The cover. Because you're doing off the record today. Yes. For those of you listening live, today is the 31st of May, 2020. But you can look at the off-the-record on Blaze TV anytime. And they want me, of course, to promote, you know, blaz-tivy.com slash off-the-record,
Starting point is 00:35:39 but why would I do that when you could go to blaz-tivy. And use the promo code Jeffie and save money for your subscription. So your show on Blaze TV is called The Cover Up. The cover-up. And the first episode dropped is titled The Dissotent or Dissident. Now, you are breaking down what, happened in our COVID-19 lockdown anti-freedom world. What's the first episode?
Starting point is 00:36:10 What are we looking at? So the first episode I talked to my friend, Dr. J. Badacharya, who happens to be one of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration. He's a Stanford epidemiologist who very early in March of 2020 started asking very innocent questions about these sort of. What? Why?
Starting point is 00:36:31 Where, when, how? Particularly, you remember the scare numbers very early on. Oh, yeah. Like this is the zombie apocalypse. We're all going to die. Right. And he had been through this drill before with other fake scare pandemics. And so he just started running the numbers.
Starting point is 00:36:48 He started doing the science and the entire world came down on him. And it raises the whole question of why. Yeah. Why did that happen? And it turns out, you know, he was questioning the narrative, but he was also questioning what I call the pandemic industrial complex, this complex web of interest. There's so much money and power behind this thing. It's not new. It's not new to COVID.
Starting point is 00:37:15 It's something that has existed literally since 2001 when Fauci was given all of this power and money to experiment with bioterrorism stuff. and it became just a wild mad science experiment. So, when they're, okay, so, and he, we break down those numbers,
Starting point is 00:37:37 right, in this episode. So, I mean, we all went through the numbers and saw those numbers from, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:44 world of stats every day, uh, during the, uh, during the pandemic. And, you know, you,
Starting point is 00:37:51 I found myself, now I'm remembering. I found myself going down the list and saying, well, there's no way that this country has this many, or there's no way that this country doesn't have as many as they're saying. Yeah. Pretty incredible.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Yeah. Well, what you learn is that, I mean, this will shock your audience, but you discover that Fauci actually lied. About... Wait, what? About everything. And the incentive was to make sure that nobody exposed him in those lies. And Jay was a risk because he and other dissident epidemiologists were saying,
Starting point is 00:38:33 everything you're saying about this virus is not true, but also everything that you're proposing that we do, all of it, the masks, the social distancing, the lockdowns in particular, eventually vaccines come around. Right. It was all a lie. Yeah. It really is amazing that it was how much it was a lie.
Starting point is 00:38:52 And look, I was on board with the 15 days to lock. to stop the spread. And I probably shouldn't have been. But I was like, okay, well, if it's going to take 15 days, then you know what? I'll go buy an extra thing, a toilet paper from Sam's, and I'll be fine. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:39:11 We're fine. But then, after that, it was like, what are we doing? We can't do this. You can't shut down the United States of America, let alone the world. And they said, want to bet? Yeah. Yeah, they're like, hold my beer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:29 I suddenly have all these emergency powers. So it's funny because I've now done a deep dive. We're all sort of amateur epidemiologists now because we've discovered we can't trust the experts. But I looked at it as an economist in March of 2020, and I realized that if you actually shut the world down, even for 15 days, people at the margins are going to suffer. Right. People at the margins are going to starve. America happens to be a very wealthy place. You and I, whether we like it or not, are basically members of the laptop class.
Starting point is 00:40:03 We could do work. That's me. We could do work from home, right? And do. But the people that insist on this, I've gone down this rabbit hole, the people that insist on this still expected that poor bastard to bring them food, not imagining that there's a complex. Right. There's a complex network we call an economy that produces food and trucks food and cooks food.
Starting point is 00:40:31 So we like as an economist from day one I was like this will be a disaster. But then I started to peel the onion and realize that there's something far more than just stupid government response to a pandemic going on here. Fascinating. I can't wait. And this, your, the episode one leads me to believe that there's going to be more episodes. So when can we, what's happening with that? You've already done one. When's the next one? I want more.
Starting point is 00:41:04 So hopefully we're releasing them once a month. I will spoil it immediately. Rand Paul is the subject of my second episode. The guy that, that's sort of beat Fauci around the ears and was demonized by the world. Pitbullet this one. Has been proven right on everything. I talked to Scott Atlas, who was inside the White House. But the series is kind of unique in the sense that I don't actually know what the answer is.
Starting point is 00:41:30 I want to get to the bottom of it. But even if Fauci goes to jail, even if, as we've seen in the last couple weeks, all of these things that we were asserting are proven to be true, I want to know how far up the chain of command this goes. I want to know who Fauci's boss is. And we don't know that. We don't know the answer to that question. So, you know, that's interesting Fauci going to jail
Starting point is 00:41:55 because I feel like that's never going to happen. I feel like everybody will just be, that's okay, he's gone now, he's retired, he doesn't have anything to do with it, we're fine, sorry. He may have stretched the truth in his testimony, but, you know, whatever. I mean, is that anything ever going to happen to him? Well, I mean, if the Biden administration gets to decide, the answer is probably no.
Starting point is 00:42:21 But this gets into kind of spooky deep state kind of stuff because the question is, does Fauci know where so many bodies are buried that he's untouchable? Or is he the sacrificial lamb to protect people above him in these alphabet agencies that actually made these decisions? Right. I have no idea what the answer to that is. We're going to find out. I mean, Fauci is testifying on Monday, first time publicly in front of the House oversight committee
Starting point is 00:42:50 that's exposing a lot of these lies. But he's now been thrown under the bus by his consigliari by a former NIH director. Everybody around him is now starting to squeal. So is Fauci going to take the fifth? What's he going to do? I don't know. That's going to be interesting.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Yeah, because he's, I mean, they're going to work on what he's already. testified on, right? They're going to bring back up what he's already testified and we know that that was, well, less than truthful. Well, he absolutely perjured himself in those exchanges with Rand Paul, because Rand
Starting point is 00:43:26 understands the science of this, so he just pushes and pushes and pushes and pushes. And Fauci so adamantly said, I'm not lying. We didn't do gay and function. Not now, not ever. You, sir, Senator Paul, you're the liar.
Starting point is 00:43:42 I'm like, all right. If you're that sensitive about that, I know there's fire. There's something there. Yeah, absolutely.
