Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So it was just announced that Warren Buffett is donating $6 billion worth of his company stock to five foundations. In total, since 2006, he's given like $60 billion to foundations. Buffett said that the shares of Berkshire Hathaway will be delivered.
Starting point is 00:01:00 this week. I mean, Berkshire Hathaway owns Geico and Dairy Queen and Heinz and these, a couple of railroads. They're donating nearly 12.4 million of Class B shares of his stock. Okay, good for them. The Class B, those are easier to digest price tag. The company's Class A shares, you know, the Class B shares are worth like $485 and 68 cents each.
Starting point is 00:01:30 So that's good. So anyway, the largest part of this donation is going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Trutch, which I thought he wasn't going to give them any more money. It was a technicality. He was not going to give them any more money after his death. He's going to let the children run the foundations and they can decide where that money goes. So Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gets 9.4 million shares. The Susan Thompson Buffet Foundation will receive 943,384 shares.
Starting point is 00:02:05 The Sherwood Foundation, Howard G. Buffett Foundation. I know it's the Buffett. I got it, okay, but it was buffet was funny to me. Amorph a fallacy. Thank you. And the Novo Foundation are all receiving shares. It's funny, I don't see the Chewing the Fat Foundation on here or the Jeff Fisher Foundation. but the Susan Thompson Buffet Foundation made it.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Okay. All right. I see how you are, Warren. Okay. Welcome. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. You hear that. You know, it's breaking news here on Chewing the Fat.
Starting point is 00:03:06 We have a CTF breaking news sounder. And the sounder is for, we have a verdict in the Sean Diddy Combs trial. They sent him back last night. They wanted to go home. They're back. We have our reporter Chris Cruz live on the scene, or at least you're on your way. Hey, get out of my way. I'm trying to drive here.
Starting point is 00:03:29 He's trying to make it to the Manhattan courtroom because we're going to 100 miles an hour right now on my Tesla. I am trying to make it from Dallas to New York so I can be there for the verdict on count one, racketeering, conspiracy, count two, Sex trafficking by force, fraud over coercion. Count three, transportation to engage in prostitution. Count four, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and count five, transportation to engage in prostitution. Now, since you've been up there covering this all week, do we think that the verdict on all five counts are going to be guilty or not guilty?
Starting point is 00:04:13 My gut says guilty because if you listen to our man, the black resident Jason Whitlock Sean Diddy Combe stepped out of the plantation and needed to be made an example. Okay, this was a fast verdict on the East Coast. They started deliberating at 9 o'clock this morning, East Coast time, and they already have their verdict. They said last night they were unpersuadable opinions.
Starting point is 00:04:46 So I feel like it's going to be not good. guilty and we're going to turn not guilty because it has to be unanimous correct yeah yes correct so I feel like it's going to be not guilty and we're going to turn this thing upside down I'm going to turn the New York court system upside down and Diddy Combs is going to walk out today smiling chin to chin so what you're saying I remember we talked about this or cheek to cheek or whatever you smile at to New York that if you or Sean Dadey Combs, you will post bail and bounce up the country.
Starting point is 00:05:26 If he's found guilty in between the guilty charge and sentencing, if he were able to get bail, I wouldn't advise him to leave the country. That would be wrong. But I would say that I could see that. I could see that happening. I could definitely see that happening. Okay. Well, listen, get back on the road. Or, I mean, you know, continue on the road, but speed up. Speed up, drive faster. My gosh, what are we doing? Is it okay if I stop to watch the new Jurassic Park movie and continue my way to New York?
Starting point is 00:06:01 No, it is not okay, no. It is not okay. I feel like you're going to do that. I feel like you're going to do that anyway. Yes, I'm still going to go ahead and watch Jurassic Park the new movie in about 15 minutes. Oh, yeah, you're going to be late. You're going to be late for the verdict
Starting point is 00:06:19 to New York. Gosh, darn it. To give you the other point. Hey, if you want, you could go right now to ABC News. A very gorgeous woman is giving the... You're breaking up. You're breaking up. We can't hear you.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Man, I wish we could talk some more with our roving reporter Chris Cruz. But, ooh, well, he's breaking up. We lost the connection. We'll have to get back to him. So we'll have a verdict, hopefully before the end of chewing the fat. And we'll let you know what happens to Sean
Starting point is 00:06:47 Diddy Combs. Okay, we're never going to, he's never going to be there on time, and we actually do have a verdict now. So if, you know, he's not going to answer my call now anyway, because he's traveling at a high rate of speed on the interstate, and he's going to the movies. So, you know, I really do want to see Jurassic Park, too. But this was, I thought was more important, but apparently not. So we do have a verdict in the Diddy trial. So on count one, the racketeering conspiracy not guilty. Count two, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, not guilty. Count three, transportation to engage in prostitution. Guilty.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. Not guilty. Transprication to engage in prostitution. Guilty. See, that's just silly to me. I know. Don't look at me like that. That's just silly. he's a rich guy he pays for prostitutes and he's going to bring them where they're going to party so he's not going to get the prostitutes where he's going uh it takes too much time i already i like these girls
Starting point is 00:08:04 i'm paying them they're coming with me it just doesn't it's just just just doesn't make any sense to me so all the experts he's a dirt bag i know but to find him to find him not guilty of the sex trafficking and yet guilty of the transportation to engage in prostitution. That just seems weird.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Anyway, I guess, according to the experts, this still with the, who's not guilty of the most serious charges, well, they're still saying he could spend about 10 years in prison. I'm feeling like that's a number of years. Did he's, what, 55 now? 10 years is a long freaking time. So, anyway, and I know, I know. I don't feel, I know, I don't feel sorry for him.
Starting point is 00:08:51 I get it. I got it. Just, just let me breathe a little bit, okay? Because I thought for sure he was going to be found out guilty on all of them. And I was incorrect. So I must not have heard all the information. And I told you up front, I didn't hear all the, all the information that went out in the courtroom.
Starting point is 00:09:09 So, you know, I did get to see all the drawings that the artist drew on some kind of paper because they weren't, pictures weren't allowed to just silly. What are we living in 1850? No. Anyway, anyway. They were high-res drawings. They were. No, they were high-res drawings.
Starting point is 00:09:26 They were just still, I don't know, drawings. And I like the drawings. I mean, that's fine. You want to sit in courtroom and draw pictures, fine. But I'd like to see the actual video as well. That's just me. Anyway, Diddy Combs. Guilty on two of the five.
Starting point is 00:09:43 And still will probably do some time in jail. And he's been in jail all this time anyway. Are we going to get a little time served benefit a little? No? Okay. Plus, I really do love the fact that they went before the judge last night and said, yeah, we can. We can't. We can't do this.
Starting point is 00:10:08 And the judge said, yeah, yeah, you can't get back in there. And they were like, okay. And then they said, about 30 minutes later, yeah, we're going home. Until they went home. All right, and you can start again tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. came back. All right, we got a verdict because the judge said, yeah, the time you spent deliberating isn't long enough for these, for these charges. All right, we'll come back tomorrow then. All right, we're ready to go. All right, you slept on it? We're good. Okay, we're ready to go.
Starting point is 00:10:33 It's just really weird. The whole thing is, the whole thing has been really, really strange. And they are not staying in that jury pool over the fourth weekend.

Learn more at p.c.express.ca. I see the story this morning about a 19-year-old pilot who's flying around the world to raise money for cancer research. Okay, I like that plan. And he's got, I don't know, over a million followers on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:11:34 He's probably got a few million on TikTok. I mean, it's social media, so he's bringing awareness. to his flying around the world to bring awareness to cancer research. He's a Chinese-American pilot, Ethan G-U-O, Guo, Ethan, Guo, I believe that's how you say it, or maybe it's just whoa. I was trying to fly to all seven continents to raise a million dollars for cancer research. He recently took off from Punta Arinas Airport in Chile before modifying his flight plan without notifying the respective air traffic control centers
Starting point is 00:12:08 at the airport. Everybody shot him down. It's never good. The General Dick Torrit of Civil Oronautics, aeronautics, I love them, the DGAC, said the unauthorized operation at the airfield in Antarctica also implied noncompliance with the Antarctic statute. Yeah, they just shoot you dead.
Starting point is 00:12:30 I didn't realize that Antarctica had the actual, you land there and you have the Antarctica police, and you're not supposed to land here. We shoot you dead. I'm amazed that he's still alive. So he said I want to take advantage of every opportunity to raise awareness about childhood cancer. And I need to intensify research to find methods of prevention and treatment.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Okay, good for him. So he was arrested. And I was wondering, well, okay, so what happens? All right, so they have the Antarctic police there. And I guess it's the Chilean authorities. I'm not sure who it is. but they claim that now that he landed in Antarctica at the right at the airfield in Chilean Antarctic territory. Okay, so he landed in Chilean Antarctic territory.
Starting point is 00:13:20 All bets are off. Would you land there? And apparently supposed to give monthly check-ins with officials, but is authorized to leave Antarctica for Punta, Arrinas if weather permit. Okay. So he has to remain in this region because there's a hearing penciled in for July 11th
Starting point is 00:13:48 to determine the full outcome of this case. So there's no word on the consequences. According to this, the United States with the FAA has the authority to find pilots up to a hundred thousand dollars for violations against the aeronautical code as well as removing any permits. So the aeronautical code say you can't land in Antarctica, especially the Chilean Antarctica. Yeah, he's lucky to be alive. He's lucky to be alive.
Starting point is 00:14:25 He would have brought more eyes on cancer and, of course, children's cancer research, if they would have just landed and they would have said you can't land here it's over see you later Ethan I see Costco in the news heavy now okay so first they tried to get some new it's amazing how this works
Starting point is 00:14:51 okay so today we get bad news about Costco so that meant that yesterday we needed to have a story about this is the way corporations work and this is kind of a good move on their part they put out the in the news
Starting point is 00:15:05 story, hey, we've got earlier opening hours for executive members, and we're kind of mirroring Sam's club. Of course, Costco doesn't say that, but that says that in the article. And the early access is a perk to add value to the membership club's top tier. You know, we're ready to go. Our executive members make up more than 47% of Costco's paid memberships, but represent 73.1% of sales. Wow. So Costco. CFO said, yeah, we got to turn this around. We got to make this longer.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Let them get in here and do some business with us. So it's good news. Is it dumb? Okay. So do I get new benefits with my thing? Warehouse is open at 9 for executive members. You still scan your card at the open to identify which membership level the member has.
Starting point is 00:16:01 So when you go and you scan, if I'm there at 9 a.m. and I don't have the executive card. They shoot you dead. You'd be stepping over bodies. Yeah, you're done. You're done. Just that.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Oh, man, he didn't have a, he didn't have a, got to have that executive branch. Step over, move. Could you get somebody to drag this guy out of the way? I got to move my card in. Yeah, that's happening. So, according to Costco, warehouse departments like pharmacy food court
Starting point is 00:16:29 will participate in the new hours, except on Sundays when pharmacies are closed. Yeah. Nobody wants medications on Sunday. That's stupid. Anyway, the executive members are a $10 monthly credit on the same day of Costco via Instacart. Yeah, Costco doesn't have a great website kind of thing. Sam's Club actually does.
Starting point is 00:16:48 They don't have a bad website deal. Costco really hasn't bought into the online thing. It's really kind of strange. I'm not quite sure I understand it. I feel like they're losing a lot of money there. I haven't been on a conference call with, you know, CFO, Gary Milchip, but I would say that perhaps he needs to lean into that a little bit more at Costco because I know of one member who would appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:17:14 And I'm sure there are many more, but I could name one. You know, what's his name again? Oh, yeah, me, Jeff Fisher. I would appreciate that a lot. But they didn't ask me. So then today we get the news that they're being sued. Yeah, I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:17:32 They're being sued by Lulu Lemon. So they're trying to, Lulu Lemon is pissed at Costco. They're saying that Costco is intentionally confusing shoppers by slapping its Kirkland brand on clothes that are thinly veiled copies of the much more expensive Lulu items. Yeah, according to Costco, the $20, or according to Lulu Lemon,
Starting point is 00:18:01 Costco's $20 high-tech men's scuba full zip is a copy of Lulu's scuba jackets, which retail for over $100, and Costco's $10 Kirkland five-pocket performance pants are a duplicate of Lulu Lemons, $128 men's ABC5 pocket pants, with at least one person, you know, I'm sure, according to this article, somebody in your office is wearing it right now. are they? Okay, okay. I will say I went to the website
Starting point is 00:18:33 and I looked up the pictures of what they're saying look the same. They do not. If I was on the jury, they would not win this case. They do not. You know what it looks like? It looks like a jacket and a jacket. And you know what the pants look like?
Starting point is 00:18:49 Pants and pants. They look different. I can tell the difference. The Lululemon is more tapered. The sleeves are a little bit different. and the pants you can tell are better, a designer, more designer pantish
Starting point is 00:19:07 than the Costco pants. And I mean, I am fashion, so they probably don't want me on the jury. But Costco would love to have me on the jury because I would say, no, they are not like you, Lou Lemon. Sorry about it. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:19:23 We're not doing this. They don't look, they don't. They're a shirt, and pants. That's the only thing similar about them, okay? So have a nice day. Good luck, though.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Good luck. They're just pissed. Lulu Lemon is pissed because all these creators, these content creators, are reviewing cheap look-alike fashion brands. And that's what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:19:49 The TikTokers are all, oh, I got these at Costco for $20. Don't they look like with the Lulu lemons? No, not really. but it kind of looks like them on you and if you're comfortable with wearing them like that good that's the point but uh...
Starting point is 00:20:06 Lou Lemon doesn't like it but too bad because other people get to make pants and shirts too not just you and you can't quote me on that another thing you can quote me on is uh here at Blaze TV we're officially calling this 4th of July no Kings Day because
Starting point is 00:20:25 uh that's That's what the 4th of July really is. It's not just about fireworks and cookouts, although those are a big part of it.

All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So I just saw announcement that NASA is going to start streaming rocket launches and spacewalks live on Netflix starting this summer.
Starting point is 00:22:12 So that's kind of cool. Although I will say like SpaceX streams all of that stuff. So I want to know the delineation between SpaceX and NASA because SpaceX streams that stuff on the SpaceX website and the SpaceX website. and the SpaceX X accounts. And so did they have the deal with NASA or does, I mean, with Netflix? Or does NASA specifically have a deal with Netflix? And, you know, who's got interesting.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I'd like to, I want to find out who's getting a cut from some of that. That's interesting because some of the NASA launches are with SpaceX. So anyway, I just, you'll be able to stream them on Netflix. I'm sure they'll figure it all out. If they need help figuring it out, they can just call me. It's fine. They can email chewing the fat at the blaze.com. I'm fine with that.
Starting point is 00:23:06 In fact, they can just reach out to me on X at Jeffrey JFR. Maybe Jeff Fisher Radio on Instagram and Facebook. They can, you know, maybe if, you know, here you go, if an astronaut wanted me to do a cameo for them so they could air it, you know, up in space, they could do that as well. Just reach out to me at Jeffrey JFR on the cameo app. I'd be happy to do it for you.
Starting point is 00:23:24 It's not free. Hey, I'm going to charge you. I know you're an astronaut and you get all your special stuff, but, you know, I do charge for my cameos. But still worth every doggone nickel at Jeffrey JFR on the cameo app. You can also subscribe to my YouTube channel, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. And you can email the show anytime chewing the fat at the blaze.com. Chewing the fat at the blaze.com. You can submit your jokes of the day.
Starting point is 00:23:53 You can submit yourself. to be a contestant on what's the lie? Or you can just, you know, send your stories or questions or comments. And if it's a question, I may or may not answer it. If it's a comment, I will see it. I see them all.
Starting point is 00:24:07 I see all the comments and all the questions. I choose not to answer some. All right? And if you ask me a question that I don't like, I may not answer it. But on the other hand, I may. So, you know, take a shot.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Chewing the fat at the blaze. dot com. Also, I've been a while since I've been to the theater. I was trying to think when the last time in the last movie I saw at the theater was, but I will be seeing Jurassic Park at some point in the next few days. And
Starting point is 00:24:38 I don't know if I'm going to be seeing it at an AMC theater, but I was looking at AMC finally bent the knee to commercials. They made a deal with National Cinnamedia. So they're showing even more ads before the movies.
Starting point is 00:24:55 And they were the last ones, the last holdouts. So, and they were saying that, well, our competitors seem to be doing okay. You just like showing more ads. So we figured, why not? We'll show more ads too. Try to make us a little bit more money. So if you're, if they say your movie starts at seven, then you're probably not going to see the credits until like 725 or 730,
Starting point is 00:25:20 which is, that's a long time. And I don't mind seeing the previews. I'm all about commercials. You know, that's what pays the bills. I get it. You know, I'm an old school radio guy. I mean, we're here to fill time between commercials. I got it.
Starting point is 00:25:36 But at some point, I got to be able to fast forward. Or I got to be able to pay for a movie, you know, without commercials. Maybe you sell an upgrade, an upgraded ticket to theater four. And I can see the new released film. I can walk in. The movie starts at 7. Sharp. So that's what it starts.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And you paid extra money for the ticket. And I get to walk in anytime I want, before 7. But at 7, doors closed, movie starts. And I pay extra for that. I'm okay. That's what happens, I don't know, at my home. I get to start at when I want. Anyway, it's just 30 minutes seems like a long time.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I know. I mean, it's more time for me to spend, you know, two million instead of $1 million on popcorn and Twizzlers. I understand. But it just seems like a long time. And, uh, okay. So, you know, yeah, Twizzlers. Don't look at me like that.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I love Twizzlers, man. I love, I, yes, here's a deal. This is why they make $8 million at the, at the stand. Cause yeah, I'll take one of each of those. That's why you got to have a, you got to have a bag to bring in your own. Uh, I'm not telling you to do that. And, you know, heaven forbid you get caught. They may shoot you dead.
Starting point is 00:26:52 In fact, that's kind of the theme of the show. show today. If AMC sees you sneak it in Twizzlers or Sour Patch from your own purse, yeah, you're dead. What happened? Try to sneak in some candy. Okay, no problem, but they step over you and off you go. So there's a lot of places that just shoot you dead in this world. I know. So follow the rules. Yeah, what happened? Oh, look at that. He tried to sneak in on his own popcorn. It's falling out of his pocket right there. Anyway, holy cow. Yeah, I mean, good luck. So there go. If you go to the AMC theaters anyway, just know that it's going to take you at least 25 minutes, maybe 30
Starting point is 00:27:30 after the start time for the movie to actually start. You know what else drops today is Old Guard 2 on Netflix? I am looking forward to that so much. It should have been a series. I am going to have to, every time I talk about Old Guard, I holler at myself in my own head that I should have actually written a series from the first movie.
Starting point is 00:27:56 I should have just done it myself because it should have already been done. Now, they may, when I show up with my old guard series scripts, and they're going to say, we don't own the rights to that, and you have to go over there and talk to them for that, and they may already be doing that
Starting point is 00:28:10 and kick your fat butt to the curb, but it drives me insane that that show wasn't a series. Now, I get, you know, I get now, they've got movie two now, we've got that, I know. And I know, and it's probably going to be about the girlfriend, who was, you know, chained up in the iron coffin
Starting point is 00:28:27 and dropped to the bottom of the ocean, guessing that she, you know, it's going to be about her. Think of that, okay? And the old guard is about these people that can't die. Well, they can eventually, but they don't know when they can die, and they're around for a long time.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Anyway, so this lady couldn't die, right? And she's the girlfriend of our girl that couldn't die, but now is human. she knows that her cuts don't heal so she knows that she can die and will die if she gets harmed enough. Before, that's part of the old guard,
Starting point is 00:29:04 you get shot to death, they come back to life. So the girlfriend, during the witch days, they put her in this iron coffin and threw her in the ocean. And so she, for years, would drown, wake up
Starting point is 00:29:20 I couldn't get out of the coffin and drown again and then wake up and then drown and be dead again I mean do that I mean that's maddening right so she's gonna it's got to be about her coming back
Starting point is 00:29:35 and being out of her mind got to be of course now that I'm saying that it probably isn't because it makes too much sense that that would be part of it If it's not that, I'm going to be pissed. But that drops today, and I'm going to watch that.
Starting point is 00:29:51 So it looks like, you know, maybe Jurassic tomorrow. There will be a Chewing the Fat tomorrow. Some shows are going to be on vacation for the holiday weekend starting tomorrow. Not this one, my friends. Not this one. Chewing the Fat will have a live show. Thank you. Thank you very much tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:30:11 So I'll let you know how old guard two is tomorrow. And I see unbelievable. This is unbelievable to me. Fast and Furious Okay Figure it's over I mean how many Fast and Furious
Starting point is 00:30:22 Does we have 80 85 So And And this They're going to have A new
Starting point is 00:30:30 Final installment Of Fast and Furious Right They can't even do that Welker's dead He can't cough I mean It's set for April
Starting point is 00:30:42 of 2027 is the release date And it's going to feature Paul Welker. I mean, maybe they just do flashbacks, and I've been calling him Welker. I know it's Paul Walker. Shut up. I don't care. Okay. I honestly, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:30:56 I know he's dead, rest and peace. But according to this, so Fast and Furious 11, is going to release in April of 27, according to Vin Diesel, at Fuel Fest. I missed him at Fuel Fest. Gosh, darn it.
Starting point is 00:31:13 So according to this, Brian O'Connor returns and reunite. with Dom, franchise heading back to L.A., return to car culture of street racing. But it doesn't say how they're going to bring Walker back. So is it going to be just AI? And they're going to use from old movies and old sets and old Fast and Furiouses?
Starting point is 00:31:37 I don't know. I don't know. But hey, we can only just wait with bated breath for 2027 and Fast and Furious. The final, what are they calling it, the final franchise? The final installment. Fast and Furious. 11. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners,
Starting point is 00:32:13 I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. At just $39.99, how could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle? for my niece, leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard?
Starting point is 00:32:33 At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering, start gifting. Winners find fabulous for less. Who died today? Who died today? Well, let's go with the Jimmy Swagger. Jimmy Swagger has passed away at the age of 90. Now, a couple weeks ago, he was in our, well, he's not dead yet.
Starting point is 00:32:57 file because they rushed them to the hospital with a cardiac arrest and the family was like yeah he's probably not going to make it. Yeah, the family was concerned about that and it finally did go to that because
Starting point is 00:33:13 the son said without a miracle his time is short and he's had a miracle of a life. He lived to be 90 years old. I know he had a big prostitution thing in the 80s that kind of brought down the Jimmy Swaggered ministry. Kind of the Diddy.
Starting point is 00:33:28 I mean, yeah, he's kind of the Diddy of 88. Jimmy Swagger. I had the prostitution thing. Bring him down. Jimmy Swagger. Diddy of 88. That's his new moniker. He's in the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
Starting point is 00:33:46 He's done shows for huge crowds. And he was the leader behind the Sun Life Broadcasting Network. Also pastor of the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge. he was cousin to Jerry Lee Lewis, the killer, Jerry Lee Lewis. I am personally a card carrying member of the Jerry Lewis fan club. I love the killer, man. And he is also a cousin to Mickey Gilly, who just died not too long ago, if I remember right? Yeah, Mickey died in 2022, even farther away than I thought.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Anyway, so rest in peace. to Jimmy Swaggart, the Diddy of 1988. Brought down by prostitution dead at the age of 90. And I guess the merger can go through now because Paramount, the parent company of CBS,
Starting point is 00:34:50 they have agreed to a settlement with Donald Trump in his lawsuit. They're going to pay him 16. million dollars for the edited 60 minutes Kamala Harris interview debacle. So Trump gets $16 million from CBS and they wanted to get that deal done because they're trying to get that merger done
Starting point is 00:35:10 and they just wanted to get this Trump thing off their plate. And so 16 million they settled for. Trump gets another 16 million from these douchebags that have been editing crap for years and telling lies about them. And they're finally having to pay up a little bit, own up to a little bit of it.
Starting point is 00:35:30 So rest in peace to your lies, although that their lies are not dead. You know, and I'm still fascinated by this Idaho, well, I called him a frat boy killer, but it's off-campus house killer. You know, he killed four people, stabbed them to death. They were attending the University of Idaho. And this Brian Colberger is his name. Amorpha Phalus. You know, that is not his name.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Brian Coburger. He agreeing to the guilty plea of the four students, he's going to avoid the death penalty and go to prison for life. And there was a couple of family members that are a little pissed, that they, how they were notified about the deal, and they wanted to go to trial. And, of course, I mean, they want him to pay for murdering their loved ones. And I understand that.
Starting point is 00:36:26 I really do. but he's going to plead guilty according to the reports he should have already done that by the time you listen to this podcast and he's going to four consecutive life sentences and he's going to waive his right to appeal so he's going to be in prison forever but in 30 years you don't know what happens
Starting point is 00:36:49 I mean I kind of I am torn to this because you don't know if you're going to you need it a unanimous decision in Idaho for the death penalty okay So first you got to find him guilty And then you got to go before sentencing on the death penalty And then, you know, there you go And then there's going to be years and years of appeals And it costs
Starting point is 00:37:08 I was listening to Some Idaho attorney expert About the case And he said it costs more For you to be on death row than it does in regular GenPob Prison And you used
Starting point is 00:37:26 you have all the appeals and if he does the plea deal where there's no appeal then the only thing that you really have to be concerned about is that you know that your loved one is dead and he's still waking up in the morning alive right that's the only thing that's what these
Starting point is 00:37:42 families are really pissed about but there was so much more to the case I mean they were trying to bring get people in to testify in Pennsylvania bring them out to Idaho and I'm sure that these people did not want to testify. If I'm living in Pennsylvania, I don't want to head all the way out to Idaho to testify.
Starting point is 00:38:03 I don't care how bad this guy is. And I know he's I got it. He's a nightmare, but they were, the defense was trying to bring them in, you know, to speak on his behalf. Because that's, you know, they were, some of these people liked him in Pennsylvania. Just really, really strange. I, I'm all for the death penalty. I am. And this guy, if, you know, if he did it, you know, he definitely deserves it. stabbing these four young college students and then driving away
Starting point is 00:38:31 and thinking he's going to get away with it. But it just, it seems like the prudent thing to do. That's take the plea deal, get him in prison for life and be done with it. And except for whatever, because then you're done with it. He can't appeal, he's in prison and that's it.
Starting point is 00:38:52 And you just have to, as a family, if you wanted him to have the death penalty, I guess. I don't know. Can you pray that he slips down a stairway? Can you pray that he tries to escape and the guard has to shoot him? Can you pray for that?
Starting point is 00:39:08 I don't know. No, you can't? You're not supposed to pray for the death of someone else? Is that how that works? Okay. All right, well, never mind. Another story that kind of fascinates me is this hiking influencer Hannah Moody.
Starting point is 00:39:24 I think we mentioned her and who died today. She died back in May. She was 31 and she died. She's this influencer, hiking influencer. She had, you know, tens of thousands of followers. And she was found dead hiking in this trail in Scottsdale, Arizona. And they have just released the cause of death for this hiking influencer who died at the age of 31 back in May. And according to the medical examiner, there in Mary Copa County,
Starting point is 00:39:57 she died from environmental heat exposure so she was hot in more ways than one and there were no obvious signs of foul play or trauma and so environmental heat exposure amorphalus yeah
Starting point is 00:40:20 you'd think as a hiking influencer that she would be or would have been smarter than that. One would think that, wouldn't one? Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure.
Starting point is 00:40:55 This fall get double points on every qualified stay. Life's the trip. Make the most of it at Best Western. Visit bestwestern.com for complete terms and conditions. Bonzai! Bonzai! Bonzai! Congratulations to Shea Gilgius Alexander. You know
Starting point is 00:41:14 him as SGA, who plays for the NBA Champions Oklahoma City Thunder. He's the NBA scoring leader. He is MVP of the league. Oh yeah, and he was the finals MVP as well. He just received a Supermax
Starting point is 00:41:30 extension. Supermax extension for SGA. Now, the guy is amazing. The guy is amazing. And the Supermax extension is not a technical foul. It is not a technical foul. This makes this new contract of SGA will make him the NBA's
Starting point is 00:41:47 richest contract in history. It's a four-year deal. $285 million. Yeah. $70 million a year. That's a pretty good deal. Sometime soon,
Starting point is 00:42:08 we're going to have the $100 million man. I don't know. Or woman, I know. it's going to be a man we're going to have that and I mean 70 million a year that's pretty darn good that's a good contract
Starting point is 00:42:21 now he's going to have to struggle for the next couple years because this is a four year deal tacked on to the two year deal that he's working on right now so he still has two years left in this contract
Starting point is 00:42:34 and he's only going to make I don't know like 79.1 million for these two years total So it's under, right under 40 million a year. I don't know how he's going to get by. But after that, he's going to be with the, according to the contract, he's going to be with the Thunder until 2031, and he's going to make $70 million a year.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Wow, that's incredible. So the first, the way the contract works out, the first season, 70 million. And then, oh, yeah, the first two seasons are 70 million. the nose. And in the final two years, he'll get 78.9 million. Now, I know. Now, it says here when you start bogging people down with facts,
Starting point is 00:43:25 it talks about a bit of accounting. The contract total could decrease slightly when it takes effect. The estimates are based on the NBA's salary cap going on by 10% a year for the next two years. And the league has already announced that its estimates of 2026, 2037 season have the salary cap going up. Only 7% if that happens. The total of the contract then decreases accordingly.
Starting point is 00:43:46 It is a 35% of the salary cap. Okay. So, then he'll make, I don't know, 70.01 million instead of 70.08 million or 78 million. The contract is worth
Starting point is 00:44:05 $285 million for four years. Incredible. Congratulations. SGA. Seriously, I mean, holy cow. Good for you. Good for you. Welcome to America too, Canadian. Anyway, just saying, I'm just saying, I'm just saying. I don't know if he's dual citizen or if he's just here on a work visa. We can kick you out at any time. Don't let me call ice on you.
Starting point is 00:44:30 If I'm a fan of a team of playing going up against Oklahoma City Thunder, I don't want people to do it. I think it would be wrong, but there may be a fan or two that would, you know, maybe call Christy Knoem and say, I think I've got a Canadian that's illegal here. But I don't want that to happen at all. I want to see him play on the court.
Starting point is 00:44:54 All right, let's get out of here. A joke of the day. My joke of the day ties in with Diddy, too. So we had Diddy earlier in the show. You know, Diddy was found not guilty on three of the five, which means he was found guilty of two of the five. And they're both the guilty verdicts. were the transportation to engage in prostitution,
Starting point is 00:45:13 which just is so bizarre to me. But we'll see. And I hadn't seen when the sentencing will be for him. I mean, they claim that even with the two that he was found guilty of, that he could possibly get a decade in jail. I don't know. It sounds like he's going to be free. I'm not sure what.
Starting point is 00:45:35 It talked about how he clasped his hands at the end of the courtroom. after the judge left the bench, the defense team hugged and congratulated each other and the Combs family broke into applause. One person explained the defense attorneys were the dream team. As Combs left the courtroom, he said to his family, I love you, I'm going to be home soon. So I'll leave it there.
Starting point is 00:46:02 I'll leave it there. I don't know that that's true. But we will see. We'll see. All right, joke of the day. sent from Jay. This is joke number three of the four that Jay sent
Starting point is 00:46:14 from Sherpman. And so this ties in with the Diddy trial. This is the one that I almost did yesterday and I thought, no, I got to tie this in with Diddy. It made me laugh. Okay, so this is the joke thought of the day from Jay, who emailed chewing the fat at the blaze.com. We started out with number one was if Jimmy cracks corn
Starting point is 00:46:35 and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him. And then we did, why does a round pizza come in a square box? That was yesterday. And today is going to be if corn oil is made from corn. This is in honor of ditty, by the way. If corn oil is made from corn and vegetable oil is made from vegetable, what is baby oil made from? I know.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Don't look at me like that. You know you're thinking about it now. And don't think that. because I don't think it is. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts. Unwrap holiday magic at Holt Renfrew with gifts that say I know you.
