Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. How is it possible that the director of Homeland Security, the secretary of Homeland Security, Christy Noem, gets her purse stolen at a restaurant? How is that possible?

Please explain it to me. I don't know. According to this, this man wearing a mask, The Secret Service has reviewed the videotape from the restaurant wearing a mask, a deep pocketed her purse and went out of the store. So I guess she doesn't have Secret Service security with her, but she is with her family at a restaurant. And she is the, I don't know, acting Homeland Security Secretary. And she has a purse or a bag with her identification, her medication, apartment keys, passport, blank checks, makeup bag, the DHS access bag, or access badge.

How? How does that get stolen at a restaurant? I just want to know. It makes me question a lot of things. Was it really just a guy that is stealing purses at a restaurant? Is it a spy? I don't know. Is it a test run from the Secret Service to see if it could

be done. Honestly, I don't know. But apparently it has not been resolved yet. And I love the question about, why she had $3,000 in her purse. First of all, it's none of your freaking business why she has $3,000 in cash in her purse. You can have $3,000 in cash. This is still America, isn't it? Isn't it? Yeah, don't answer that. But I just want to know. I seriously, I just want to know how how is it possible that this actually happens because i i don't know and okay let's say that it is just just a just a regular run-of-the-mill thief that puts on a mask a covid mask and walks through a restaurant and when he sees a purse that he can grab or she sorry don't mean to do it i don't want to use a gendered language and uh picks it up and walks out walks out walks out of

the restaurant. Okay, let's just say it is that. No one at the table, no one around at the restaurant, says, hey, what's happening with that? Nothing. It just goes away. I just, I have find it, I don't know, it's hard for me to fathom that it actually happened. But that's what happened. They want us to believe that this man, this person, a white male, wearing a medical mask, just takes the bag. Oh, okay. Sure, no problem. We'll try to figure out who did it.

And we still don't have the man in custody? Holy cow. Something is not right. That's all I'm saying. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. We got news yesterday that the Justice Department, together with the Drug Enforcement Agency,

you know them, you love them as the DEA, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspectors General, you know, the HHS-O-I-G, announced that there's going to be a $300 million settlement with Walgreens Boots Alliance Walgreens Company and various subsidiaries. They're all, you know, Walgreens. To resolve allegations that the National Chain Pharmacy legally filled millions of invalid prescriptions for opioids and other controlled substances in violation of the Controlled Substances Act, and then sought payment for many of those invalid prescriptions by Medicare and other federal

health care programs in violation of the False Claims Act. The settlement amount is based on Walgreens' ability to pay. Walgreens will owe the United States an additional $50 million if the company is sold, merged, or transferred prior to fiscal year 2032. Now, the government government's complaint filed on January 16th and amended April 18th in the U.S. District Corps for Northern District of Illinois alleges that from approximately August 2012 through March 1st of 2023, Walgreens, one of the nation's largest pharmacy chains, knowingly filled millions of unlawful controlled substance prescriptions. These unlawful prescriptions included prescriptions for excessive quantities of opioids, opioid prescriptions filled

significantly early and prescriptions for the especially dangerous and abused combination of three drugs known as a Trinity. What are those you ask? Well, those are opioids, benzodiazepines, and carisoprodol, which is the benzos are for anxiety and carousoprodol is for a muscle relaxer. So you have the opioids, you have the anxiety, and you have the muscle relaxers. Now, they claim here that Walgreens pharmacists allegedly filled these prescriptions, despite clear red flags indicating a high likelihood that the prescriptions were invalid because they lacked a legitimate medical purpose or were not issued in the usual course of professional practice. Okay. So the complaint further alleges that Walgreens pressured its pharmacist to fill prescriptions quickly and without taking the time

needed to confirm that each prescription was lawful. Walgreens compliance officials also allegedly ignored substantial evidence that its stores were dispensing unlawful prescriptions and even intentionally deprived its own pharmacists of crucial information, including by refusing to share internal data regarding prescribers with pharmacists and preventing pharmacists from wearing warning one another about certain problematic subscribers. Just let me say this, that that may be true, but it certainly is not true at any of the Walgreens I have ever visited. I have been using Walgreens for prescriptions for quite some time now, for many years, both in Florida and in Texas. And that right there is absolutely never happened to me, not once.

They go out of their way to make sure that it's within the time frame, and it is actually a prescription that is valid. It's just incredible to me that this actually, that this actually happened at Walgreens somewhere in the United States of America because I know of two states

where it absolutely did not happen because I was in the middle of dealing with it. Just incredible. But they made the deal and it was worth them. You know, there's 300 million. Leave us alone. But it isn't leaving them alone because now they have to,

to not only pay another 50 million if they sell, they also have made a deal with the DEA and the HHS OIG to address its future obligations in dispensing controlled substances. Walgreens and the DEA entered into a memorandum of agreement that requires the company to implement and maintain certain compliance measures for the next seven years. And I mean, yes, that's good. but is it? I mean, it's just making, getting prescriptions more of a nightmare for law-abiding citizens, but no one cares about that because it's an opioid crisis that we're in. And we have to do something.

Something has to be done. And this is part of what we are doing. I just, I will just say. And it just amazes me that all of this has been, well, it has been alleged. And now there's a settlement. So I'm guessing that means that they are. admitting that this actually happened. It did not happen in two states that I used Walgreens frequently in.

That was the state of Florida and the state of Texas. And I say frequently because at one point when the insurance that I had said that I had to use CVS and I hated it, they were terrible. And I had to get special dispensation to go back to Walgreens. So, you know, I didn't use Walgreens. exclusively because of that. But frequently, more times than not used Walgreens, and nothing like that ever happened.

Another case that is close to coming to an end, Nadine Menendez, wife of ex-U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, was convicted. And she was convicted of 15 federal corruption charges against her. So Bob, the wife, former ex-US senator, tried to blame it all on her.

It didn't work. He was found guilty as well. And he starts his prison sentence in the first part of June. And that's when Nadine is expected to be sentenced in the... I think June 12th was the day that she is expected to be sentenced.

So she was found guilty the jurors found They took a couple of days Wow I'm going to say he wanted to get lunch a couple days Said that she was guilty She showed no emotion As the jury foreman read out the guilty verdict

Inside this I mean hardly no one was there This Manhattan courtroom And Bob was not there He did not show up I don't even know if they're still living together Because he threw her under the bus Long ago when he was trying to save himself

And that did not work she was convicted for he was convicted for his role in which the couple leveraged his senate post to line their pockets so he gets 11 years and that starts in June remember they found and this was also that the Egyptian military aid money 300 million would go to Egypt and not be frozen Huh. And so, okay. I mean, we had frozen the 300 million because of human rights concerns. And he was like, yeah, we don't worry about that. We can get that taken care of for you. And they did. So, FBI agents who raided the couple's Englewood Hills home found the luxury car parked in their garage, more than 150,000 in gold bars stored inside Nadine's safe. Jurors saw more than 400,000 in cash, stuffed into envelopes, and stored. strewn across the home.

That's not illegal. Where they got it is, but that's not illegal to have cash in your home. And strewn across the home, including inside the former senator's official government windbreaker, they had cash everywhere. What are you going to do? When people pay in cash, they bought groceries, I guess, probably. They believe that she was the person, you know, his partner in crime. and the case made their case, and she was found guilty.

So she faces decades in prison. Bribery, conspiracy, obstruction of justice charges. Wow. So she's going to be probably go to prison for 11 or 12 years as well. So both the Mandezes are going to prison, and they're going to prison for quite a long time because they are, what, late 50s, early 60s now of their age. So they'll be lucky.

to be out of prison by the time they're 75. Ooh, good luck, God bless. At Desjardin, we speak business. We speak startup funding and comprehensive game plans.

love them. According to them, they are your partner for pleasure, passion, and romance. They've been normalizing pleasure and sexuality since 1971. Have they? Okay, well,

they say they have. So they've done this new study, and they want, and they wanted to find out the riskiest states to have sex in. So they considered factors like prevalence of STIs, sexual health resources. And by the way, STIs, that's just a, you know, another term for STDs. It is not, Jeff. STIs lead to STDs. STDs happen because of STIs.

Okay, I got it. abortion and reproductive rights policy and according to lions den more so according to this list they have this list that I have in front of me has one two three four five six seven eight nine ten the top ten riski estates to have sex in in the United States

coming in at number 10 South Carolina Tennessee South Dakota Oklahoma, Texas, Alaska, Alaska comes in at number five. Wow. Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana.

Wow. I mean, the top four riskiest days to have sex in all from the south. Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama. Yeah, I mean, that could be, they're right there. So according to this, the STI rate for Louisiana 795 per every 100,000 people. Ooh.

Teen birth rates, 23.7 per 1,000 women. Wow. That's not the number one, though. Number one state for teen birth rate is Mississippi. Then, forcible rapes per 100,000 people. Okay. Louisiana has four. 47, Arkansas has 72. Wow. Okay. And these four states obviously have a full ban on abortion. So,

that's why they're hated so much. So if you live in any of those states that you want to get out of there, might be the time to reach out to real estate agents.itrust.com. Just saying.

Pro football Hall of Famer, and he's big time, you know, media, NFL personality. He is facing a lawsuit. He's accused of sexual assault and battery and engaging in intentional infliction of a emotional distress. This lawsuit was filed in Clark County, Nevada, and it was listed under the alias Jane Doe. She claimed that she was in the relationship, she was in a relationship with Sharp for nearly two years, and it began as a rocky consensual relationship. She's seeking $50 million in damages. Oh, okay. She claimed that she met Shannon at a Los Angeles gym in 2023 when she was

19 and alleges in the lawsuit that Sharp, who is currently 56 years old. So, I mean, that was still, though, you know, two, three years ago, so he wasn't, 54, 53, sexually assaulted her twice since once in October, 2024, and again in January of this year. Oh, okay. She says that Sharp became violent over the course of the relationship, threatened to kill her during one incident and recorded their sexual encounters without her consent. Yeah, I think we all heard that, the audio of one of those nights together.

Sharp flew into fits of anger over their relationship or if she called him out for his extraneous activities. What had once been manipulation control and intimidation now became something far more dangerous and sinister. Okay. And according to her, Sharp even figure out how to get into Doe's apartment complex without her permission. Okay. The lawsuit, according to Shannon Sharp's attorney, Lanny J. Davis, is a blatant and cynical attempt to shake down Mr. Sharp for millions of dollars. It is filled with lies, distortions, and misrepresentations, and it will not succeed. I mean, I'm glad that my attorney is saying that, that's for sure.

Now, the attorney for Jane Doe is the same attorneys that reached a settlement with the Deshaun Watson debacle for more than a couple dozen massage therapists. So they know how to go about it. Shannon has categorically denied all allegations of coercion or misconduct, especially the gross lie of rape. and will not submit to what he sees as an egregious attempt at blackmail. Does kind of sound like that. I mean, if you had a relationship with him, and I know that you're calling it a rocky relationship for a couple of years, seems like this is someone who is not telling the truth.

I'll just say that. But I don't know that. I don't know that. what she alleges if what she alleges is true absolutely he's a nightmare and should pay her some money but i do not i mean i don't know i'm sorry i just you were with him for a couple of years and now you're claiming that he assaulted you a couple of times and that's going to be worth 50 million dollars i don't know about that i don't know about that i know i do putting a price tag on assault no no i'm not but she is

Jorge Flores Meldenado They pose together in tuxedos and plain white hats with white booting ears to match. I did not know you were able to make that happen in prison, but I guess so. I never been more proud of someone, wrote the Netflix star whose real name is Joseph Maldonado. Passage. Yeah, we know. We got that, Tiger King.

This is my husband, and he introduced him in the picture. And, of course, he announced his engagement. We did remember his engagement back in October. He was working on getting asylum. or be leaving America when we both get out. Okay, so good luck. There's no word on whether he is, see, in response to one social media user wishing him luck in his case appeal,

Tiger King said he has no problem going to Mexico with his new husband if released. Ooh, so it doesn't look like he got his, did not look like he got his special dispensation to stay here in the U.S. Yeah, new. That did not happen. Asylum is not happening

during the new sheriff in town. So if they get out, ever, they'll be going to Mexico what's looking like. So congratulations, anyway, to the Tiger King for his happiness while in prison. Nothing says you're happy in prison

like getting married to the man of your dreams. Speaking of Netflix, I see, I saw a promo for one of their new detective shows that's coming out, and I'm in. I'm in. This is just a, it's perfect for me. It's the, it's going to be called Department Q. And of course, I mean, if it's a struggling detective, I'm in.

So after shooting leaves the young PC dead and his partner paralyzed Carl, who is our DCI, Kyle Mark, obviously this is in the UK, who's a brilliant cop, terrible colleague, razor sharp sarcasm, has made him popular, or has made him unpopular in the Edinburgh Police Department. So good. Anytime I have an officer that struggles with being a cop, but as a great detective, I'm in.

So they don't get rid of him after this happens to his partner. They give him, they send him down to the basement as part of doing the cold case. And so, of course, he's down in the basement doing cold cases. And because he's a pain in the ass kind of guy, he definitely finds cases that are going to be worth doing. And, of course, he's going to find one case that works, probably, I'm sure, in season one of Department Q.

So anyway, at the end of May, that comes out on Netflix, and I'm definitely looking forward to that. And I see they're filming or they're getting ready to film season three of Tulsa King. Sylvester Stallone with Sylvester Stallone and Robert Patrick who plays a great kind of bad guy

has been in a lot of stuff he's one of those guys if you don't know who he is when you see him you'll go oh yeah that guy Robert Patrick and so he's going to be the bad guy in season three

like you know of course the Tulsa King isn't a bad guy because he's a mobster a former monster hello and so he's not a bad guy. We want Sylvester to be the winning criminal.

We'll have the other bad guys to go down. We don't want our bad guy to go down. So I'm looking forward to that as well. You know, another thing I'm looking forward to is the Blaze TV's investigation of January 6th with Steve Baker.

Did not say what he died of. So we are left to use our own imagination. We do know that he was a musician, advertising guru, film director, husband, devoted dad, and a very good friend. friend to many. So he's dead at the age of 67. As I'm reading about Kimmel Rendell, I

see where he's part of the hoodoo gurus which would later top, you know, they were part of the alternative airplay back in the 80s. Now he produced a bunch of stuff and he was on a number of budget films

working on the Matrix Reloaded and the Matrix Reloaded and the Matrix Revolve I-Robot, Ghost Rider, knowing, so he did a lot of work. And he was married

to Basia Bonkowski from 1982 until she died in 2022. Oh, okay. So then as I'm reading the stories about that,

so now he's alive for the last couple years after she died. Now, I will say that we find out that his death comes days after the hoodoo

gurus were affected by their manager passing away. Now, the manager got the job because the long-time manager had stepped down and he died about a month after he stepped down. Who's killing off the hoodoo gurus? I don't know. But it's possible that this is happening. Maybe we need a hoodoo guru investigation. But until then, rest and then.

piece to Kimball Rendell, dead at the age of 67. Then we have, well, he's hailed here as one of the most decorated amateur players in golf history, Jay Siegel, dead at the age of 81. So I guess he became, he was a golf legend star as a child. Then he got hurt. Something happened to his arm. And so he just continued to be an amateur. and he was, you know, one of the top amateurs.

He later won the U.S. amateur for the first time. And he, you know, won all kinds of amateur awards. So, congratulations to him. And he was a legend in the amateur golf circuit. And so congratulations to Jay for being that. He has died and they did not say, they did not give a cause of his death. But he was 81.

And so rest in peace to Jay Siegel dead at the age of 81. We do know now that the Pope's funeral will be held on Saturday. Now, they have him being shown. Wow. He has got an open casket. And we've seen pictures of the Pope and his open casket, which is incredible to me that that is happening. But it is happening.

The Vatican is the one that released the photographs of Pope Francis lying in the open coffin. He's in the chapel of the Dama Santacabati, Papal Basilica of St. Peter. It's right there. It's not tough to find. It's over there where all the people are. And so just incredible. And the funeral will be on Saturday. And we also know that while he had pneumonia and lung issues and Breed,

breathing issues. Apparently, he got up the other morning, yesterday morning, and then had a massive stroke that killed him. And so we're saying that that's what killed him, not any of the other issues that was going wrong. By that time, so much is going on that the stroke is like, we've got to get out of here. You know what I'm saying? So rest in peace to Pope Francis, who died yesterday at the age of 88, but we do know that the funeral will be on Saturday. And then I think we have to wait a few days for the conclave. And they all get together and they vote on who the new pope will be. And it will just wait for the white smoke to go up.

If they vote and they don't get a pope, they blow black smoke. They burn the vote papers and they put this chemical on the envelopes and it burns black smoke. And it lets everybody outside know, hey, we don't have a pope yet. And then if they elect a pope, they throw the envelopes in the fireplace and they put the chemical on that makes it turn white, and they blow white smoke. And the world knows we have a new pope. Yay!

And we'll know that, we'll know if I win. You know, I'm kind of, I'm kind of, I am running. I'm not running. I didn't run wholeheartedly for this particular pope. But I, I'm willing to do the job, if elected. If the white smoke blows, and they announce that Jeff Fisher is the pope,

I will accept the position. So I'm reading this story about a Houston kosher steak shop, this Genesis Steakhouse and Wine Bar in Maryland. And they announced on Thursday that they're closing their doors. And that's what the story popped up in my timeline that this iconic Jewish steakhouse in Houston is closing. And so it's been open for 12 years. And they announced that with heavy hearts

that they're closing the Genesis Steakhouse and Wine Bar, the final day of service will be the end of this month, April 30th, and they wanted to thank everyone, and the journey has been so much more than food, and, you know, the memories, birthdays, anniversaries, milestones together, all of that. The team explained that recent unanticipated events had forced them to make a very difficult decision, alluding to a controversy that regular patrons may already be aware of. Okay, so apparently they were given a bad report, and they were not going to be. going, they lost their kosher certification.

That was revoked on January 20th. And they wanted to do this checkup and they can't believe that it went away so quickly because they believed that it was a personal vendetta and bullying from the Houston Cass Ruth Association, HCA. Now, the restaurant owner claims that the certification was taken away that day and it shouldn't have been taken away that fast. And it was because he couldn't produce an invoice for a frozen fish package. And he tried to explain to the rabbi that the paperwork is dealt with by a chef and a kosher specialist.

But it doesn't matter. We're taking that distinction away from you immediately. And they lost a bunch of money because they could have private events and everything because they weren't kosher. You know, they didn't have the special kosher stamp. Well, I didn't realize this, but this was done because of the, according to the guy in charge of the Genesis restaurant, it was done because of the Houston Jewish Food Mafia. So I didn't know that there was such a thing, but there is.

And now you're aware, be careful. Do not mess with the Houston Jewish Food Mafia. Now, according to the owner of Genesis Steakhouse and Wine Bar, this was an act of a war by the Houston Jewish Food Mafia. And while this is not the end of the war, it is just a battle in the beginning of the war. So we'll see. The best quality kosher restaurant is now shutting down in Houston

because of the Houston Jewish Food Mafia. So if you're in the Houston area or anywhere in the world, really, you do not want to mess with the Houston Jewish Food Mafia. Food Mafia. Okay. You've been warned. Ooh, I have a misplaced who died today. The Nevada, Nevada, Nevada, Nevada, Nevada, veterinarian Sean Frenner, F-R-E-H-N-E-R, was found deceased in Lake Mead. I don't know if this was a Las Vegas Mafia kill or not. But remember, this is the guy that got in trouble because of the video where he was

kicking a horse, the veterinarian. He kicked the horse. And he was just doing, you know, you watch the video and he kicked the horse pretty hard. But his point was, is that he wanted to get the horse up on its feet. Okay. He was trying to get the horse up on its feet so that it could breathe better and be in a better position to help him. And so what the video shows him kick in the horse right in the chin. And I mean, hard. But it got the horse up on his feet. But people, People just took off on beating this guy up and what a horrible person he was for kicking this horse. First of all, for the most part, horses are stupid. I know there's, there's, I know that there's some horses out there that are smart,

but for the most part, horses are kind of stupid. And if you're a horse person, I apologize, but you know, you know overall most horses. Dumb. Anyway, so he comes. kicks the horse in the chin. I don't think we should beat horses. I don't think that at all, but I didn't have a problem with him kicking the horse to get it up on his feet. A lot of people did. And he then bent the knee, said, yeah, I kicked him right in the chin. I apologize. I wish it never happened. Well, they found his truck and his belongings at the edge of the reservoir, and they don't know what happened.

They don't know if he took his own life, if he was taken out by the Pita Mafia, which is possible. That would not surprise me. If the Vegas Mafia or the Pita Mafia took him out just because he kicked a horse that he was allegedly trying to help. But rest in peace. To Sean Frenner, dead at the age of 56. So congratulations are in order for to Kenyon. is John

K-O-R-I-R-R. He won yesterday's Boston Marathon, finishing the race in two hours and four minutes and 45 seconds on the men's side. Kenyans Sharon L-O-K-E-D-I won the women's side with the time of two hours and 17 minutes and 22

seconds, which is a new women's course record. So congratulations to both of them. The Kenyans man, they are the runners of the world. So, now this is not, just don't get a medal, I mean, at all. When you win the Boston Marathon, you get $150,000. So both the man and the woman of the winners get $150,000.

And if you break a course record, which the female Sharon did, she gets another $50,000. So she got $200,000. Wow. Okay. Now, they claim that the reason the Kenyans are so great in these marathons is because they attribute their training is in the Rift Valley's high elevation, serving as natural training ground for the young athletes. But then later in the story, it talks about how the female trains here in the U.S.,

which kind of goes against what they say makes the Kenyans so strong. So anyway, congratulations to both winners of the Boston Marathon. You guys are 150,000 and for the female, $200,000 richer. for only running 26.2 miles. It took you two hours. Holy cow, man. And then for the women's side, that was a record. So, okay.

The man, John Correr, K-O-R-I-R, he is, his time was the second fastest time ever in a race that's been run since 1897. So he did not set the record. So he gets the lowly 150,000. and he had a brother that won as well, so he becomes the first sibling. I don't think he gets any extra cash for that, though. That's just kind of a bummer.

All right, let's get out of here. I'll leave you with the joke of the day. I may have told you this joke before, because now that I'm going to say it out loud, I feel like I've said it out loud before, but that's still funny to me, and so you get to hear it again if I did. Today, I went to a barber shop for a shave, and the barber asked me to put a small wooden ball in my mouth so he could get a closer shave around my cheeks. I asked, what if I swallow the ball?

And the barber said, no problem. You just bring it back tomorrow like everybody else. See, because, no, I mean, you got it. Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
