Blaze Radio Network And now, Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. Terrant County, Texas. Home to 2,110,640 people, the 15th largest county in the United States of America.

And just so you know, Los Angeles County, California, is the most populous county in the United States with a little over 10 million people. So Tarrant County had a county commissioners meeting. And one of the newly elected Tarrant County commissioners, Judge Tim O'Hare, is, you know, the story is he's making good on to scrutinize spending. Good for him. But it didn't matter. Okay. So their commissioner meeting, they had a proposed hiring of a consulting firm to come in and give recommendations.

on updating the county's 20-year-old public meeting streaming technology. So Judge O'Hare voiced opposition to the county paying $230,000 to an audiovisual consulting firm to come in. And he was like, can't we find somebody else here that works for the county that can help us out a little bit? And they said, no, no, that cannot happen. We don't have anybody and we need to pay the firm. First of all, I'd like to see, you know, who's related to whoever runs the firm that's going to come in and tell them, yeah, you know, the camera needs to go right there. And you guys can put one, you guys need like five cameras and one right behind you

and looking right at the podium so when people speak. And then, you know, we can have a part-time board operator that can come in and switch. to cameras during the meetings. That would be great. We can go ahead and do that. 230,000. And that's just to come in and give recommendations on updating. I will do it.

I will do it for a whole lot cheaper. I promise you that. I personally am a resident of Tarrant County, Texas at this time in my life. I will help them out and do it for a lot less than $230,000. That's just me. Out of the goodness of my heart. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat.

So those of us that watched Tiger King back in the heyday of the pandemic, season one was, well, it was terrible, but we all watched it. And it was, you know, it was what we all were talking about. And so Carol Baskin, the Tiger Lady from Tampa, Florida, part of that deal with her was that her husband was dead and everybody thought that she fed him to the lions. They found his van at the airport and, you know, he was missing, but he was supposed to, you know, she had him legally declared dead in 2002. And so she claimed last year in 2021, all right, over a year ago, the end of 2021.

that her ex-husband, who had been missing and declared legally dead, was actually alive and well. Wait, what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she herself said she was unaware of the alleged revelation until the sequel series was broadcast in November. I haven't seen, too, so I'm not sure if she said it in there or not. I don't know.

I guess there was some kind of confusion over whether he was alive what she said in this footage of a report. But the Department of Homeland Security has been in touch, according to this, in touch with her former spouse. Why? Why would that happen? So according to this, they produced a letter from Homeland Security and says that special agent in charge with the FBI

reached out to Sheriff's Detective Jorge for an accident. which means they had happened after 2002 because I mean hello Homeland Security wasn't even around until then and they said that he's alive and well in Costa Rica but he would be 84 today and she declared him dead so that she could get married again and I think there was some insurance money for her her place of business she So, I mean, the word fraud comes to mind? I mean, is there an insurance company that's going to, what do you have to do to get your money back to prove, right?

I mean, she's given the burden of proof that he's dead. She had him declared dead. So now we have to have the burden of proof that he's alive and that she knew that he was alive and that she defrauded the insurance company. And even if she didn't know she was alive, no problem. We want our money back.

Anyway, so, okay, all right, have fun. Good luck. God bless. Okay. Karma. The force generated by a person's actions held in Hinduism and Buddhism to perpetuate transmigration and its ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person's existence.

Huh. Karma. destiny, fate, following as effect from cause, really it kind of serves them right. So in Mexico, a man, drunken man, a drunken thief, broke into a church. He jumped over a fence, broke the glass door, entered the church, and he was going to rob the church. And then he took a statue of St. Michael, the archangel. and on his way out he tripped and fell

and the angel's sword seriously injured his neck I know maybe you not take the statues from the church maybe you leave St. Michael alone

what do you say? What do you think? So Carlos Alonzo went to the Christ the King Parish in downtown Monterey and decided he was going to steal St. Michael, the Archangel

and then tripped and fell and had the sword bust his neck. Now he did survive. Someone did find him and they took him to the hospital and he's being taken care of. Once he is recovered, he will be turned back over to the public prosecutor's

office and the punishment he could face for the damage of the church will be determined. The state statue unharmed. So sometimes you get what you got coming, don't you? You can almost quote me on that. Sometimes you get what you got coming, especially when you messed with the old archangel. I mean, he is supposed to be the leader of all angels and in the army of God. So drunk or not drunk, you may want to just leave the old. old archangel be.

So way back in October of 2021, in New Mexico, they were filming a movie Rust, and Helena Hutchins lost her life. She was killed by a live round of ammunition fired from a prop gun being held by Alec Baldwin. Now, he maintains he didn't pull the guns trigger.

Director Joel Sousa was also injured in the shoot. We have now found out, and this case has been ongoing back and forth, are they going to charge them, what's going to happen with the investigation? It's been 15 months. There's been lawsuits. It's been accusations. So now we find out that Alec and Hannah Gattara's Reed are to be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Helena Hutchins. Wow. They issued a statement today. They did not have a press release. Dave Halls, the assistant director, has pleaded guilty and with the charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon. Negligent use of a deadly weapon there. I said it right.

So according to them, if any one of these three people, Alec Baldwin, Hannah Gattara's Reid or David Halls had done their job. Helena Hux. would be alive today. It's that simple. This was a special prosecutor, Andrea Reeb, appointed by the DA to the case. So the evidence clearly shows a pattern of criminal disregard for safety on the Rust film set. New Mexico, there is no room for film sets that don't take our state's commitment to gun safety and public safety seriously. Both Baldwin and Guterres Reed face a maximum of 18 months in prison if convicted. Now, I thought for sure he was not going to get charged.

So this throws me for a little bit of a loop. So when I say there's no way he spends 18 months in jail, maybe the elitist douche, Alec Baldwin, will go to jail. I doubt it very much. I'm very sad that Helena Hutchins lost her life. I think it was a terrible, terrible accident. Do I think that the armorer should be charged with it? You bet you.

You bet you. Because Alec believed that the gun was a prop. And I believe that. And I know that there are supposed to be, you know, things that you're supposed to do, the checklist of things. But I find it hard to believe that actors and actresses on sets of films, do every one of those checklists every single time.

I'm sure they probably do now since this shooting. But it's happened before and it will happen again. Because the armorer is the one that tells you, hey, it's a prop gun. You watch so many shows with guns being fired at people, directly at people, directly at the camera. Holy cow. So there you have it.

New Mexico believes that they, are guilty. Well, they obviously believe they're guilty, which is why they're being charged. So Baldwin and Gutierrez Reed will face 18 months in prison if convicted. They are to be charged and have been charged, I guess, with involuntary manslaughter. So do they go and handcuff him? Do we get the perp walk with Alex? I, oh, man, I want the perp walk with Alec. Now, I don't know if Alex, is going to be able to say anything on his Instagram account, but I'm able to keep an eye out today

because he may go off the deep end. He may just go off the deep end. So we'll see. We'll see what happens here in the long run. But I know he's an elitist douche. That's the whole point behind firing the gun when I say his stupid name because it would just be something he would hate.

But I mean, do I think he deserves to go to prison for this? No, but not liking him has clouded my judgment on, you know, what I want, what I want, because it would be nice to have him perp walked and then go off to prison because it's him. It's Alec. Alec Baldwin. So, there you have it. Anyway, congratulations to New Mexico for deciding to finally. Put an end to this and let's do something about it.

We're either going to charge them or we're not. And they decided we are going to charge him. So more fun in the future. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. Man, am I glad to see this? Facebook and Instagram is going to lift the ban on bare breasts. Yay!

We'll be able to see bare breasts on inside. Oh, wait, it's only for trans and non-binary. So, darn the luck. If you're born female and you're ready to free the old nipple, you're out of luck. That's according to Meadows Advisory Board. So the independent body of experts, Mehta's Oversight Board, which Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is called the company's Supreme Court for content, moderation, and censorship policies.

ordered Facebook and Instagram to lift a ban on images of topless women for anyone who identifies as transgender or non-binary, meaning they view themselves as neither male or female. So, I would say this, that if you want to show your breasts on Instagram or Facebook, make sure that you put in your bio that you are trans slash non-binary. just to cover your bases. Yep, I'm trans, not binary, and here are my breasts. They look good, don't they? I believe we'll be having that. No, that couldn't happen.

Okay, well, then never mind. Wow. Speaking of being charged, Ron Jeremy, the hedgehog, who's now the former porn star, 69 years of age, he's been in court, and he's been declares.

declared incompetent to stand trial. Wow. His real name Ronald Jeremy Hyatt began making X-rated films in the 70s, and he starred in more than 2,000 films, only some of which are pornographic. Oh, okay. Sure, absolutely. Go ahead.

Yeah, 2,000 films. It's only some of which were pornographic. Okay. 21 women claimed that he had attacked. them in separate occasions beginning in 1996. The one story I remember about he would take these, they would be

at a restaurant and he would say, oh, this is my friend's place, you can come back here and use the restaurant back here because it was always so busy. And then he would take him in the back room and you know, rape them, molest them, attacked them, accost them in the

back behind the grill. Just incredible. What a douchebag this guy was. and is but uh i mean he's been charged with uh 12 counts of forcible rape seven counts of forcible oral copulation six counts of sexual battery by restraint four counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object two counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious or a sleep person and one count each of lewd act upon a child under the age of 14 or 15 and sodomy by the use of force and assault with intent to commit rape.

Those are some serious charges. Now, he pleaded not guilty. And, you know, then the trial began, and then that came to a halt. In March of last year, he was unable to appear in court, even though he was housed in the same building. They attempted to place him in a wheelchair. He was just up in a cell. And so now he has been, it's been decided.

that he is incompetent to stand trial. Wow, I mean, it's sad for him, and it's really sad for the people that are charging him and that he attacked, if true, that they won't get their day in court. But, again, if true, we're all supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Remember that.

So I've stayed at a few hotels in my day and travel around and stayed at some really nice hotels. and some really crappy hotels, but I saw something on a Reddit thread that caught my eye. According to this Reddit thread, and they took a picture of it, and it's supposed to be at a hotel,

and it says the refreshment center is on a sensor. Use of the refreshment center for personal storage will automatically incur a $50 charge. And then it asks you to please dial a four-number code, 6820, which I guess gets you, to the desk for a refrigerator request. So that seems to me that if you want to use it for a refrigerator, or maybe they bring you up a little one, I don't know,

that doesn't have anything in it. Because we all had, you know, I've stayed at hotels where the snack, you open up the dresser, and it's a snack bar in the drawer. And it's, you know, I mean, it's everything and everything costs a million dollars, but you can't help yourself. I mean, right? You have to eat a bunch of it. But with the refrigerator thing,

not being able to use the refrigerator, you know, keep a bottle of water that you didn't purchase at the hotel. Now they're making you either call for an okay. Yes. Hello? Yeah, this is room 820.

Yeah, I know. This is, Zicklind shows up on my ID that you're calling me. Yeah, I want to use the refrigerator, but I don't want to incur a $50 charge. Okay, well, you can go ahead and keep something in that refrigerator until tomorrow, but are you going to take anything else out of the refrigerator? Because if you do, it'll cost $8,000, not just $50. No, I'm fine.

I'm not going to take anything. Or what you're going to bring you up your own personal? I'll have a housekeeping, bringing up your own personal little mini-fridge. You can keep things in there. Just don't open that. It's too expensive. And if you're going to open it, it costs you. us money we like to have those things run on a censored time wow I hadn't seen that before

that's interesting that's interesting so you're ready to start wearing masks again I you know I mean let me rephrase that are you ready to be mandated to start wearing masks again in April of 2021 a US appeals court declared it unlawful that the government ordered people to I'm sorry required people to wear masks on airplanes, buses, trains, ride-sharing services, and at airports and other transportation hubs. So this week, the Justice Department

ask an appeals court to reverse the April 2021 ruling. So they want to start requiring masks on airplanes, buses, trains, ride-sharing services, airports, and other transportation hubs. So are you, are you ready for that to be reversed? and if it's reversed, are you going to follow it? Now you'll say, well, we have to. It's required if I use these particular places. Do these places then automatically start requiring it?

I don't know. I feel like we're done with it. If you want to wear a mask, wear a mask. You don't want to wear a mask. Don't wear a mask. I don't make fun of people that wear a mask. I don't. I don't.

It drives me insane to have to wear a mask. But I have worn them. I have followed the requirements of doctor's offices and other places when I want to visit them. Under duress, I follow those requirements. I do the very minimum that I have to to wear those masks. But if you want to wear one, wear one. I don't care. You do you.

I think it's silly when I see someone wearing a mask in a car by themselves, but I can see how it could happen. I could see that you were at going at a store that made you wear a mask or you want to wear a mask when you're out in public and you're doing a quick jaunt from one store to another. So you just leave it on your face and you go. I get it. I understand it. Or you want to wear one at all times. Whatever. Just don't make me wear one.

Don't require me to do it. And it sounds, I mean, they want to have that requirement back in place. and it could be coming soon, very soon, to an airplane, bus, train, ride-sharing service, and other airport and transportation hubs. I don't know that the airlines want to go through it again. I feel like the nightmare of people being jerks on airplanes were predominantly because they were being required

to do things they didn't want to do. like, I don't know, wear a mask. So then everything else was a domino effect from there. And so it made everything else more frustrating. So if they started telling people they have to wear a mask on an airplane again, I think we're back to the domino effect of people going crazy on airplanes. And the airlines are not going to like that. They're not going to like it at all.

Visit bestwestern.com for complete terms and conditions. So who died today? Who died today? Well, Lisa Marie Presley is already passed away, but we know that her resting place will be at Graceland. Opposite Dad's plot and next to her son, Benjamin the official cause of death

is deferred pending further tests really weird she died suffering from cardiac arrest twice last week we all know it was because of the thing you know that right I mean I think we all know

that it was because of the thing but you know she had some underlying issues as well so we can blame it on that if you want that's fine but the backyard fountain ceremony will take place this Sunday at Graceland. Kind of really sweet that it's going to happen at Graceland. And so rest in peace, Sunday at 9 a.m. Memorial service that's open to the public. Many people are leaving flowers at the front gate of the estate,

and we're ready for the burial and the funeral of Lisa Marie. Presley, dead at the age of 54. The King's daughter laid to rest. Also, Jacinda Arden, who died today? Justinda Arden, the Prime Minister of New Zealand.

Okay, well, she's still alive. But she quit. She just walks out. She said, I've got nothing left in the tank. And she told her fiancé, hey, let's finally get married. Oh, okay. I mean, she was the youngest ever prime minister in New Zealand. She was elected on the 26th of October 2017.

And, you know, she had the COVID pandemic and the Christchairs mosque massacre. And she was quite the, well, I don't want to say Nazi, but she was quite the hard driver. She was quite the hard driver throughout the COVID pandemic. That's why she didn't marry her fiance. say because you know why she couldn't get married during the pandemic agonizing but uh she said she's she's got nothing left and so i've been here for five years uh i just want to be with my kid and i want to be married okay all right uh i give you that i mean that sounds good she said i'm human politicians are human and she said it only the way just sindic can say it

and uh it's for me it's time i have to go and this job takes its toll. Okay. All right. That's fine. Good for you. I don't know. I mean, she's gone to. She's given like the first of February a couple weeks and you find somebody or I'm out. I'm out no matter what. So you find somebody. Now, what happens next? I don't know. For her. I mean, New Zealand obviously will get another prime minister and they will move on. That's what countries do. But what's next for her? Because she was a world leader that was, on the forefront of the COVID pandemic lockdowns and the new world order.

So I would not be surprised. This is just me throwing it out there. She was asked about going to work for the UN and gave some weird answer. Yeah, she's going to go to work for the UN. She's going to sit back and take a little break, get married, be with the kid for a little while, and then it's going to be,

eh, you know what? I need to go to work for the UN. That's happening. You can count on that. Oh, and as long as we're in who died today. Happy birthday. To Bob Barker. Bob Barker turns 99 years of age today.

99, Bob Barker. Wow. Some great clips have been crossing social media of the Price is Right. And, you know, he had played in movies, and he did some stuff for the WWE on Raw. It was really funny, some great clips. So, and Bob Barker, I mean, he's the band, Bob Barker. I mean, he did The Price is Right from 1972 until 2007,

making it the longest running daytime game show in North American television history. He also did Truth or Consequences from 1956 to 1975. I mean, the guy had a couple of strong runs. He served in the military. He was in the Navy during World War II. I mean, he did his own radio show. He's done, I mean, he did TV forever. He's Bob Barker, man.

And I love him. Who doesn't love Bob Barker? Well, maybe a couple of the girls that he took care of business with. But I think they still love them too. He gave him some money. They had Bob's girls. They gave him some money. And, you know, I remember my oldest son when he was real little.

He stayed with my mother-in-law when my wife and I were both working. And he spent a lot of time with her. And my mother-in-law loved the Price is Right. And she would watch The Prices Right. And so we were out shopping once. And I can remember Elvis just as a little kid, we were in some, I don't know, some Kmart or whatever story. You know, some were going through the women's section. And there were all these glittery dresses.

And he was like, ooh, Bob Girl's Dresses. Yeah, that's right. Bob's Girls' dresses right there. The Price is Right. Happy birthday to Robert William Barker, 99 today. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. What? Sounds like Ojo time.

I mean, I've told you that we live in amazing times, and we absolutely do. I mean, and for real. Seriously, we live in amazing times that are not really amazing

and that are agonizing and that we are doomed. But we also live in amazing times where some great things are happening. A woman has received the first ever successful transplant of a living 3D printed ear. Right? I know. Replacement body parts are closer to reality than we know. All right.

So a collaboration between doctors and a U.S.-based regenerative medicine company, 3D biotherapeutics, and who doesn't love 3D biotherapeutics, has seen the first successful implant of the 3D printed ear made from human cells into a living patient. Wow. It's one part of a larger cutting edge effort,

the first clinical trial of human cell 3D printed graphs. So, okay. Awesome. I mean, hopefully I can get a 3D printed knee. How about just a 3D printed leg? And we'll just cut this whole thing off and give me the new one. Then we have an art of, artificial pancreas, which shows success in clinical trials for managing type 2 diabetes.

So, I mean, we're there. We're almost going to be able to replace everything and anything so that we can live forever. I mean, I'm looking forward to it. I don't know about you, but sure. That's the whole thing about living forever, though, right? We want to live forever, but we want to have a productive. of life while we're 800 years old. So if we lived to 800, but we stopped actually doing things at 400, that's 400 years of,

oh, I've got to roll over now. But maybe you just become yourself, you know, you're just a soul in yourself. That's possible. You just become one with yourself. Oh. I mean, not only that, we're getting close to having, you know how on Star Trek they used to the doc would you know

scan you and they'd know immediately what was wrong with you and oh yeah he's got this wrong and then you know they dial it in and fix it well a 10 minute scan now enables detection and cure of the commonest cause of high blood pressure so doctors at Queen Mary University of London

and Bart's Hospital and Cambridge University Hospital have led research using a new type of CT scan to light up any tiny nodules in hormone gland and cure high blood pressure by their removal. So, I mean, just a quick scan, and you're good to go, a 10-minute scan, and you're good. The high blood pressure is gone, so we are closer, we're close to that as well. I mean, incredible times, incredible times.

All right, I want to be clear about something. It wasn't me, all right? Usain Bolt, you know, arguably the fastest human on the planet. Someone has run off with $12.7 million of his money from his account, leaving a balance of $12,000. I guess they're claiming that it's an investment firm that needs to return it or face charges, but it wasn't me. I didn't take it. Okay? It wasn't me.

I'm innocent. So the 36-year-old put his fortune in a private investment firm in Kingston, Jamaica. and stocks and securities limited is directing queries. Did you make his financial authorities? Okay. His estimated worth is about $90 million. Wow. Usain Bolt, $93 million.

And his biggest sponsor is Puma. But apparently he had one account with $12.7 million in it. And now it's got like $12,000 in it. So apparently, no matter who you are, When you lose money, you want to say, hey, where's my money? You know, like $12 million. So, okay. And at the height of his career, it was thought to be earning more than $31 million a year.

Good for him. Good for him. He deserved it, man. He holds world records in the 100 meters, 200 meters, the four by 100 meters. So, I mean, he's worth a lot of money. And he's not, look, he's not going to be hurting because he's missing $12 million. But still, he's missing $12 million. It's his money.

And he wants it back. How do you think the people that lost a lot of money at FDX fields? How many times, I mean, Bernie Madoff has been scammers all over the world that have scammed people out of money, thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars. That's why, you know, I tell you the emails that I get from those different people wanting me to give them all my information because they want to give me money, but the real object of those emails are to get my information

so they can take whatever money I have. And it's just, I joke around about it, but it just pisses me off. Because these dangleberries, man, has taken other people's money. It's just not right. Okay. Just not right. I'm done.

It's just not right. I'm going to leave you with a, I'm just going to leave you with a little joke, okay? Joke of the day. All right, from me to you. Two men were talking. So, how's your sex life? Oh, nothing special.
