With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Blaze Radio Network. And now chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. CNBC's America's top states for business study has ranked all 50 states through recession, a global financial crisis, a pandemic, and of course, and more.

Each time, Texas has finished in the top five, including first place finishes in 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2018. But this year, in 2023, uh-uh, for the first time since the study launched in 2007, Texas has missed the mark, according to C. NBC. It's not even in the top five. Huh. So CNBC's competitiveness rankings show that Texas is still a powerhouse. What's the second best economy ranking after Florida? Jobs grew by 4% year by year through May more than any other state. Huh. So they're not number one or in the top five of this list for the four. full rankings of the competitiveness. I can't even say that word. Competitiveness categories for America's top states for business in 2023.

So the top 10 are coming in at number 10, Michigan. Number nine, Utah. Number eight, Florida. Number seven. Washington. Number six, as I already said, Texas. Number five, Minnesota. Number four, Georgia.

number three, Tennessee, number two, Virginia, and number one, North Carolina. So that's according to CNBC and their America's top states for business. Is that, I mean, they ranked them for workforce, infrastructure, economy, life, health, and inclusion. Texas is 50th in life, health, and inclusion. Cost of doing business, technology, and innovation, business friendliness, education, access to capital, cost of living. So we don't rank, as I say we, since I live in Texas,

this show originates in Texas, USA. We're not in the top five any longer. I don't know if I could go on. I don't know if I can go on. We're not, we're the only one we're number one in is access to capital. We're number two in economy, number two in workforce. But man, we got to do some work on that life, health, and inclusion, don't we? Welcome.

Welcome to Towing the Fat. It has been a year since the release of the first images by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which is, I mean, it's expanded our knowledge of the early universe, while, I mean, it's given us a continual stream of deep space images. It was launched in December of 2021 in collaboration with the European and Canadian space agencies, and the web orbits the sun at a point roughly 1 million miles beyond Earth. And unlike its Earth orbiting predecessor, the Hubble, its infrared cameras

captured deep space starlight invisible to the human eye or obscured by dust clouds enabling it to effectively look backward in time into the early stages of the universe so in honor of the anniversary NASA released new images and they're

really really stunning of 50 young sun-sized stars within the Ro O-P-H-I- U-C-H-I-C-I-C-I-C-L-O-O-F-Y-E-C-I-C-I-C-I-C-C-I-C-L-O-O-F-U-C-E-R-O-F-U-C-E-R-O-F-Y. Yeah, that's the closest star, forming a region to Earth roughly 390-Light years away.

So it's right around the corner. man, if you want to visit the Roeofiuki Cloud Complex is right there 390 light years away Then we get a story I mean it's all about space and I'm not talking about UFOs or UAPs

Although that seems to be a lot In the news lately as well We find out that They're worried about space junk now Hello, welcome Have you been listening to Chewing the Fat? I've been telling you about space junk, we've needed space garbage men for a long time now. It's a growing problem. Yeah, no kidding.

The European Space Agency currently now tracks 34,000 objects bigger than 10 centimeters in size, all classified as space debris. Now, while some debris in lower Earth orbit can burn up on re-entry, debris left at higher altitudes, 36,000 kilometers. or more can continue to orbit Earth for hundreds of years. And they are now saying, you know, space junk contributes to the growing fear that was known as the Kessler syndrome, should be called the chewing the fat syndrome, in which a cycle of increased debris would cause increased collisions on and so on and so forth. Yeah, no kidding.

And so on and so forth. That's the European Space Agency. And so on and so. so forth. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Keep up. Okay. That's amazing. So, you know, we, fortunately, you know, the space collisions are relatively rare. The last one came in 2021 when a Chinese satellite smashed into a rocket body left over from a 1996. So there have been other unintentional collisions in the past 10 years, but SpaceX is planning to increase its current satellite count from 4,000 to a third. 30,000 in the next few years.

That's it, though. We're just going to add another 30,000. I mean, okay, so SpaceX is going to increase satellites up to 30,000 in the coming years. We just saw a story where Starlink satellites have been forced, forced, you know, they have to, make 25,000 course corrections in the last six months. I mean, that's what they're doing, right? I mean, that's part of their jobs. But they did those course corrections to avoid collisions with other spacecraft and orbital debris. Wow.

And it also doubled the number of maneuvers performed in the previous six months, so it's getting worse. So experts fear that the need to evade is only going to rise, you think? Yeah, no kidding. In the next few years, duh. And on top of that, we find out that the SpaceX Starlink satellite, are leaking radiation into the night sky as they circle the earth, which they're saying, astronomers are saying, you know, that's interfering with our attempts to pick up radio signals

arriving from the cosmos. Yeah. So all satellites, including those in SpaceX, rapidly growing Starlink constellation. Yeah, like another 30,000 in the next few years. Ha! They really have an issue with communication in space and hearing, receiving radio waves. So as of right now, they can mitigate those problems with, as they do.

I mean, radio astronomers are pretty smart. And they can account for signals when making the calculations. But, I mean, we're going to be adding more satellites in our orbit in the next few years. and the ones we already have are leaking radiation. That's it though. Don't worry about it. There's only going to be 30,000 or so more. And then we have to worry about

just the trash and maneuvering around all the trash. We need a space garbage company. I should actually be the one to do that and just become the gangsters of space and pick up space trash. Got to be away. got to be a way other than just a net we've got to be able to send we've got to be able to spend space garbage rockets up and pick up debris has to be a way to do that I need to do that

that's for sure I mean Elon is launching another company called XAI I guess he's going to it's supposed to understand the true nature of the universe he's going to reveal more about it on Twitter Spaces event tomorrow. For those of you listening live, that would be the 14th of July, 2023. So, you know, we'll find out more about that. Elon, call me, email me, chewing the fat at the blaze.com, and we'll figure something out for this debris issue. We can get our own trash company started.

Okay, I know you're worried about the whole true nature of the universe thing, duh, and you want to travel to Mars, duh. And you want to put another 30 or 40,000 satellites orbiting the globe so we can all get the internet. Duh. We need to worry about the trash. We need to have garbage trucks up there. And I'm pissed that they're calling it the Kessler syndrome in which the cycle of increased debris would cause increased collisions. The Kessler syndrome is the Chewing the Fat syndrome.

And I want that to be renamed after me. And this program. Yeah, that's not going to happen, Jeff. But I still want it. Okay, back to Earth. Did you see where Bank of America, the second largest U.S. Bank, has agreed to pay $150 million in fines and $100 million to impacted customers? I think I'm one of the impacted customers. It's one of the heaviest financial penalties against the bank in recent years.

Yeah, they've been fined in the past. Huh. So an investigation by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found that the bank hurt hundreds of thousands of customers over several years by charging repeated overdraft fees for the same transaction, withholding credit card sign-up bonuses, and opening accounts in customers' names without their knowledge or permission. Isn't that what Wells Fargo was doing too? in a statement Bank of America said it had already voluntarily reduced overdraft fees and the declined to comment on the allegations of the fangicons have you have you did you already voluntarily reduce those overdraft fees those overdraft fees piss me off and the way they do it we've talked about this before i know i have because it it pisses me off so now when you purchase a product even they don't take it out of your account they can't take it out of your account until the place of business says hey you owe us this money but it shows up as being gone as being used spending the money so you can't respend it right and you know I

get it but so let's say you have a hundred dollars and you spend 50 all right the account will show that you still have a hundred dollars but you have 50 pending and that pending is waiting for the business that you spent your money at to ask the bank for the money so they you know have it in pending which means it goes away and they say you have 50 dollars in it and then so i mean so let's say i buy something else for uh 49 dollars and uh a dollar okay so now no let's say i buy something for $24 and I buy something for $54, okay, because I have 50 left, right? But I went ahead and spent more than the 50 I had left. So now, you know, that money gets asked for, hey, the money.

So the way they charge the overdraft fee is instead of paying the $24 and then charging me the overdraft fee for the $54, they would charge me the overdraft fee. fee for the $54 and then they would say oh yeah by the way we're going to charge you another overdraft fee for the $24 because we took the 54 out to cover that account

I mean it's just a it's a double whammy from the accounts and that's I mean they have their ways of making their money but they're fined for repeated overdraft fees for the same transaction agonizing but back in 2014

Bank of America was fined $727 million for illegally charging 1.9 million customers for credit card services, they never actually received. Then in May of 2022, they were fined $10 million, $10 million, they spit it $10 million for unlawfully freezing customers' accounts and charging garnishment fees in violation of state laws. Then in July of 2022, they've been busy little beavers, busy little bankers. Beehlers, they were fined $225 million. for botching the distribution of state unemployment benefits during the pandemic. That's it, though. Bank of America's still doing it.

Now, they've been fined all this money, and they're still raking in the money. So good for them. Good for them. I would just, you know, watch out and keep an eye on your money. I know. I'm assuming that we have money, which I know we don't. All right, let's go to the break room. I need something cold to drink desperately. So today, if you're listening live, is the 13th of July, 2023. It is National French Friday.

Yay! So you can get a free order of fries from McDonald's today, if you order from their app. You can, you know, there's plenty of ways to download their app. Now you can, according to this, you'll be able to select any size you want and will not be required to make a purchase to receive the free fries. I wonder what size everyone will want. Okay, so other changes are doing this too, only not just today. So Wendy's is offering a complimentary order of fries or breakfast potatoes to any customer who makes a purchase using its mobile app from today through the 15th of July, 2023. So you have to order something to get free fries from Wendy's

national. I mean, okay, so you. you order a small drink or whatever on their app and you get a free fry or a frosty and a fry, no problem. Fat Burger is offering free fries with any store purchase or online order. Wow. Made using the code French Friday 2-2. But it's 2023. Anyway, so maybe it's 2-3.

I don't know. The story says 2-2. So, okay. And I can't say 2-2 without thinking of an old radio show Rick and Suds. out of Miami. They used to say, Tutu, what kind of name is that

for a dog? It's an old bit they used to do on the radio. Rick and Suds out of Miami, W-I-O-D. They had a bit

where Rick had a dog named Tutu, and they had a caller would call in and have a long, evolved story, and then they would get Rick to say

Tutu. And then the caller would say Tutu, what kind of name is that for a dog? So I could never say to-to

without a thing. thinking about Tutu. What kind of name is that for a dog? That's where my brain is. That's all. Okay, so you can do that at Fat Burger. In-store purchase or an online order. Use the code French Friday 2-2.

And if that doesn't work, try French-Ride Day 2-3 since it is 20-23. And that happens from today through the 19th of July. Checkers and rallies customers who have the chain's app will be eligible for a free Excel order of the fries starting tomorrow through the weekend. So Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at Checkers and Raleigh. I'm a fan of Checkers' Fries, man. So anyway, it's National French Friday and go out and celebrate, okay? You know, with fries.

Not cocaine, like the cocaine that they found at the White House. We're going to find out who it belonged to today? I don't know. The U.S. Secret Service briefing House Oversight Committee today. Looking into it, they're supposed to brief them behind closed doors going on this morning. At the time of this recording, we don't know if they told Comer, hey, this is who did it and this is, we've looked at all the footage. Or if they're saying, yeah, we know, but we're not saying. We shall see.

I know the oversight committee is making a big deal because they want to talk about White House security and how does something like this happen? And we evacuated the White House. and we found an unknown substance. I think it may be just that someone said, hey, that's cocaine, and we can't, I'm tired of covering it up. You're telling me the Secret Service that the White House didn't know was a bag of cocaine.

We don't know how much it was. We don't know what it looked like. But I'm guessing there's a difference between anthrax and cocaine in a baggie at a walkway in the White House. so you know when you order an evacuation and a task that takes it out of your hands right you're not covering up or anything you're doing your job and so now the rest of it is up to you know up to what's her face the head of the secret service Kimberly Cheatel like her name is and we'll see we'll see what happens I'll see if the cover up continues it's embarrassing it's embarrassing that we don't know

whose cocaine it belonged to. And I think, I'm pretty sure we all know whose cocaine it was. But not really. Speaking of cocaine, though, I see where the nominations for the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced. No, it's just a joke.

I don't mean that any of these Hollywood people are doing rails. Stop it. So HBO, dominated in the Emmy Awards, 127 total nods. Three shows, Succession, 27, The Last of Us 24, and White Lotus with 23,

combined for 74 nominations, and Ted Lasso on Apple TV Plus, came in forth with 21 nominations. Succession, awesome show. It's wrapped its final season, very sad to see that go. The Last of Us, another head, House of the Dragon.

I mean, HBO has just been knocking it out of the... I'm sorry, it's not HBO anymore, is it? It's Max. So we'll see. We're going to... We'll break down the Emmy Awards and who all got nominated in coming up. Maybe we'll do that tomorrow. I'm not sure tomorrow's going to be Fat Pile Friday.

But, you know, we have the Emmy Awards being announced, and then we still have the writer's strike going on. It is in its third month. I mean, they've already shut down film and TV production in New York and LA and Chicago and now it looks like the actors well the actors want to act like they're going to join in

they want to act like they're going to join in. Yes we are behind you 100%. I thought the deadline happened. Yeah well we don't want to break down too much so we'll just take it easy

right now because they didn't come to a deal the deadline was last night and it didn't happen. So are they out on strike yet? Well, no, not really. You know, we want to be. Man, do we want to be? But we're not just yet.

The union represents about 160,000 Hollywood actors. They, you know, claim, you know, we're ready. We're going to go on strike. Are you? Okay. So they, you know, the contract deal shut down. They even brought in a mediator. to help the deal.

And, you know, instead of continuing to negotiate, SAGAFRA has put us on a course that will deepen the financial hardship for thousands who depend on the industry for their livelihoods. Huh. Okay. Now, that was from the Alliance of Motion Picture

and television producers. I mean, President of SAGAFTA, Fran Dresher, said the studio management offers were insulting and disrespectful. We don't want none of what you're saying. Okay? And the writer's strike is still ongoing as well.

The writer's strike, I mean, they're talking about being on strike. They don't even want to talk to them until October was the last thing that I read. And that's going to be tough. There's going to be some people that are going to lose their homes, maybe lose their families, for sure, lose their homes and lose their livelihood. And that's not good. That's not good at all. And that's what they're saying is that's what the platforms want, right? Because when people are desperate, they will agree to anything that you're offering.

So that's what they're saying. I just want them to work it out. I want them to work it out. They know they're worth the money. Pay them the money. And let's be done with it. Okay. Please.

And I see where Disney, uh, Congratulations. They just extended Bob Eiger's deal. I thought he was supposed to end next year. He came on board for a short period of time, and he was just going to kind of reset the company and get things back, and then he was going to go, yeah, you know what? Okay. You guys, are you going to vote me in for another two years unanimously? All right. Fine. I'll stay. You know, at least until the end of 2026. Look, I don't know how much money he makes. According to this, he would be eligible to receive 500% of his annual base salary, which is a million.

So it only takes a million in salary. Under the terms of the contract announced, he will be eligible to receive a maximum 100% bonus. So that would be about $25 million in Disney equity. 60% of that manifesting as performance-based restricted stock. and another 40% being stock options. So his total compensation could have reached a maximum of $27 million a year. Now stands to be several million dollars more. So, yeah, Iger's not going to do that job for a million.

I mean, that's a million is just so that he makes something, but the rest is all stock options and other deals. So, I mean, hello. Bob's not sticking around for anything less than $25 or $30 million a year. But you want me for a couple more years? All right, fine, I'll be here. No problem. So if you think that the ideology at Disney is going away anytime soon,

you are incorrect. Boarding for Flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time. Play Ojo? Great idea. Feel the fun with all the latest slots in live casino games and with no wagering requirements. What you win is yours to keep groovy.

You can follow me on Twitter at Jeffey JFR. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram and threads at Jeff Fisher Radio. I have not spent a lot of time on threads but Instagram and Facebook and threads is Jeff Fisher Radio. You can follow me on my YouTube channel Chewing the Fat with Jeff Fisher. You can always email the show

Chewing the Fat at theblaze.com and I'm going to be responding to an email here shortly that I received from a listener from one of my listeners and we'll just go over what he emailed me. Oh, named Dominic. I don't know how he identifies, but I'm just,

I'm guessing it's a he. That's just me. You can always order a cameo from me at Jeffy JFR. That's not free, but you can order a cameo at Jeffy JFR. Just, cameo is my pimp, so you just tell cameo when you order it

what you want me to be, happy, sad, glad, mad, mean, whatever, and I'll do it for you. And I'll do it for money. So that's what I do. I see where the FTC is going to appeal the judge's decision to let Microsoft complete its purchase of Activision Blizzard, despite the agency's antitrust objections. Oh, well, I mean, that's $69 billion deal.

The FTC does not want that to happen, and everyone else seems to want it to happen. So if the government doesn't want something to happen, I kind of feel like I want it to happen. I really have no... I don't care. But it just seems like if they keep hammering it that they don't want it to happen

makes me feel like I want it to happen. Again, that's just me, I know. You know, like Kamala Harris, our vice president of the United States of America, she tweeted yesterday, the majority of domestic flights do not have accessible restrooms. This is absolutely unacceptable.

our administration will soon announce a solution to help end this inequity. That makes me nervous. It makes me nervous. How about you? You and Pete Buttigiegs figure out how to make sure that everything is okay with the air traffic controllers and let the airlines worry about the airlines. Okay? I mean, I'm not a fan of either.

I am a fan of the air traffic controllers. I mean, those guys, man, woman, child, female, male, whatever you identify as, keep up the good work. But, you know, that's fine. But I'm not worried about the size of the, I'm sorry, the accessible restrooms on the airplanes. I will say that every time I've used the restroom on an airline, it's worked fine. And again, I know that's just me, but I have gone and used the restroom on an airline and everything was fine. I didn't expect it to be a lush and lavish experience.

I know. I know. I guess it's supposed to be. So I guess the administration, the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration, are going to be announcing a solution to help us end this inequity. So we're planning on having lavish,

luxurious bathrooms on airlines here in America. Are other countries going to follow this? Not a chance. And will you be paying a lot more for tickets to fly in America? You bet. Will that put a lot of people out of flying every day? You bet.

It's almost like that's what they want. That's really, really weird. Anyway, if you're excited about it, the administration is going to be announcing a solution very soon that's going to help end this inequity on airlines. And we will have accessible restrooms. And what does that even mean? And what does that even mean?

Do we have to be sure that every fat person or obese person can fit into the restroom? Well, yes, Jeff, that's what that means. Okay, well, we can't provide access to everyone on an airline. You're already submitting to what the air line. airline is offering. It's what we offer. You agreed to use what we offered

to do what we do. And if you can't use the restroom, that's not the airline's fault. But apparently it is now. Well, at least it's the government's fault. And they're going to put an end. An end to this inequity. We are doomed.

Never mind that whole war in Ukraine. Never mind the inflation or the banking problems. ever mind people are out of work or working part-time, working two part-time jobs. Never mind that. Never mind any of that health insurance issues. Don't worry about that. You worry about the inequities in airline bathrooms. Oh, man, we have lived in remarkable times.

I see where Montana, speaking of remarkable times, Montana State Library is withdrawing from the National Association. You bastards! The commission voted to pull Montana's membership in the American Library Association, citing the president's Marxist beliefs and sparking concern among local librarians. So the seven-member commission voted to immediately withdraw the Montana State Library from membership in the American Library Association, which is a national nonprofit founded in 1870. that advocates for and provides services to tens of thousands of libraries across the country.

What is it that they actually do? I don't know the answer to that. If you could email me chewing the fat at the blaze.com and let me know exactly what the American Library Association does for libraries, I would love that. Don't forget their president, Emily Drabinski. She described herself as a Marxist lesbian. That's always good. That goes over great. And, you know, they don't care.

And she doesn't care, obviously. And she's part of the commission that, you know, I guess is the American Library Association. I guess they provide leadership on what you can have at the library and what kind of things we can do. I don't know. I mean, I'm guessing the states should be able to do that themselves. But again, what do I know? Nothing. That's what I know.

And, you know, things are going even so well that the Methodist Church is splitting up. That's right. Thousands, thousands of congregations are leaving the United Methodist Church over the LGBT agenda. Wow. About a fifth of the congregations in the second largest Protestant church in the U.S. are splitting away about the inclusion of LGBTQ agenda in Christianity. Holy cow.

I don't think any of us wanted to see any of our churches leave, said the UMC Council of Bishop's President, Bishop Thomas Bickerton. Really? Because it kind of feels like you're running them off. We're called to be the body of Christ and we're called to be unified. There's never been a time when the church has not been without conflict, but there's been a way we've worked through it. Yeah, you're going to work through it.

All right, because of the LGBT inclusion, all these other congregations are just going to leave. And they're going to join the Global Methodist Church, which is a new organization that will neither ordain or marry LGBTQ people. Wow. We are just continuing to be more divided than ever. But hey, let's worry about those bathrooms on airplanes, okay? It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need, delivery. with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So no, you can't get a nice rank on Uber Eats. But iced tea, ice cream, or just plain old ice? Yes, we deliver those. Goaltenders, no, but chicken tenders, yes. Because those are groceries, and we deliver those too,

Product availability varies by region. See app for details. All right, so if you are fortunate enough, to live in Alaska or Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Helena, Montana, Salem, Oregon, Boise, Idaho, Cheyenne, Wyoming, Annapolis, Maryland, Indianapolis. Wow. You may get an opportunity, you know, places in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Indiana, Maine, and Maryland, you may see the Northern Lights. Now, they say, you know, you may get a glimpse of the northern lights.

Yeah, you know what, it's going to be cloudy. I don't know. The Aurora Borealis, are you going to see that in Maine and Maryland? I hope so. It would be cool. And you might get it in Canada, including Vancouver. I mean, all these places have an opportunity to see it, which they normally don't. So keep your eyes to the sky tonight.

And it is tonight, they're talking about. which is, you know, if you're listening a lot, maybe you get to free order of fries and you go and you take a look and, you know, ponder toward the sky and see if we can, you know, get the solar wind hitting the atmosphere and see the old 11-year solar cycle

that's expected to peak next year, making the lights visible and, you know, places farther south. So, I mean, good luck. I hope it happens. I hope people see it. the pictures. I know my wife would love to see them. We live in northern Texas. That's not going to happen here. She's big on, hey, why don't we just move someplace where we can see them? It's pretty cold there.

I mean, you know that? It's pretty cold there. I am not a fan of the cold. I grew up in Michigan. I got out of there as soon as I could. But, you know, if you get an opportunity to see them, good. for you. Tomorrow is the big day for Blaze Media as we are along with the Family Leadership Summit hosting a town forum with Tucker Carlson. It's going to, he's going to interview

the GOP candidates about their values and priorities and policy positions. And he's going to talk to Ron DeSantis, Mike Pence, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Asa Hussigin. and Vivek Arama Swami. So then when he's all done with that, Glenn Beck is going to do an interview with Tucker exclusively for Blaze TV.

As I'm reading another story about this event tomorrow, I see where even in this story, even in this story, they spell the word wrong and it drives me crazy. It's a good promo for the event, but it talks about Blaze Media, the U.S. Independent Media Compent. Instead of company, it's Compent. I guess maybe we are a media compant now.

That gets me to the email from Dominic. And Dominic was unhappy with me about the way I pronounced the word cash. He emailed me at Chewing the Fat at the Blaze.com. And it's from Dominic. And his email said, On your 7-Eleven show, you told the story of the Kentucky gold coins. I found he uses K-Y in abbreviation for Kentucky

I found it ironic that you spent a lot of time criticizing the pronunciation and spelling in the story while continually mispronouncing the word C-A-C-C-H-E as Cache that is how you pronounce the word C-A-C-H-E-T

C-A-C-C-H-E is pronounced cash now, Dominic I know. I just, I've called it cachet forever, and I just, I never get it right. I always do that. And that leads me to your next sentence in the email that you sent me. I think I corrected you once before. But apparently you have the retention of a mollusk. You know what? I do. I do have the retention of a mollusk. And I apologize for that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm upset you. You're right, but I can't help myself. So that's my excuse.

There is no, I get it, cash, a collection of items of the same type store to the hidden or inaccessible place. That's not cachet. It's cash. Cashet is a state of being, respected or admired prestige, okay? Which is C-A-C-H-E-T. C-A-C-C-H-E is a cash, which is a collection of items. I got it. Okay, I got it.

I'm sorry. Sorry, I made you mad, Dominic. All right, I'm sorry, I apologize. You're right. I'm wrong. There. You happy now? Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts.
