Hello. Welcome to the broadcast. So, all right. It's summertime in Texas, in North Texas. And it's, I'm not supposed, you're not supposed to have any kind of plagues or anything, right? But I can't figure out why I have this plague. It's got to be, it's got to be because it's a thousand degrees outside. I'm sorry, the heat index is only on 104.

And then I come inside to, I want it sub-zero temperature AC. that's got to be the plague that I have because it just will not go away. Welcome to the broadcast. 888-903-33. Here's the phone number if you'd like to participate. You can follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA, Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio,

Instagram, Jeff EMRA, and you can go to theblaise.com. Look at the channels there. Click on Jeffie Fisher. follow me on the Blaze channel as well. So I'll give you some, we'll start off with, you know, just some break room headlines,

just to get you through, you know, the stuff that's happened over the week that you can go in Monday, you're sipping your coffee, you're suffering from the summertime plague that many of us are suffering from. You don't feel like you're months,

Monday. It's coming up on Monday. It's the weekend. You're relaxing. So had enough of Trump, Russia, That really wasn't a question. That was more of a statement, really. Because yes is the answer I know.

I know. But you know it's never going to end. It's never ending. And we'll have Trump Russia. We have people across the country being reported now that have had enough. And I'm sure that, you know, the report is going to be not that it was Trump Russia, but it was, you know, the other side was looking for dirt. Well, I can't believe they.

weren't. I'm sure the Americans are over there, piddling and messing around in their business. Well, that's probably true. I mean, you don't want it to be true, right? But we've had enough. And then we're still going to get reports on, it's about Hillary, right? Because a new Aberdeen emails reveal additional instances

of the Clinton donors receiving special treatment from the Clinton Department of State. No. What? Yeah. I know. I know. It's a surprise.

And really, didn't our president, Donald Trump say he was, she should be in jail? Yes. Yes, he did. Yes, he did. Of course, the House, one of the things that we talked about this past week was that the House should actually just start passing bills. Because he'll sign him. He's even said. I'll be at my desk with a pen.

So send them the bills. Start passing stuff that the American people want. Now, the House passed a huge $6.96 billion defense spending bill this past week, right? Kind of sad that they approved the policy bill that declares climate change a threat to U.S. national security. But, okay. $696 billion for managing the nation's vast military enterprise, $30 billion more for core Pentagon operations, and that's more than Donald Trump wanted.

So the vast military complex, the vast industrial military complex, continues. We also lost some military men this week, 15 Marines and one Navy sailor, a KC-130 plane from Marine aerial refueler Transport Squadron, flying from an airfield in North Carolina to Yuma, Arizona, went down in Mississippi, 15 Marines, one Navy sailor, plenty of prayers needed for those people. and I will tweet the link to the story that has all the names of the soldiers that we lost on that crash. We do have another example of why I should be. I mean, how many times have I said postal inspector?

Yes, me, I should be the man out of the United States Postal Service. according to this study and they've been on the brink of bankruptcy for quite some time and they're struggling to stay alive. I've got some ideas to keep them alive, but do they give the job to me? No. But they did pay over $90,000

to cover for paid employees who took time off to campaign for Hillary Clinton. Oh. Oh, that's okay. there's no word on if any of the postal workers took time off to campaign for Donald Trump. I haven't seen that story. But this is just another example of why I should be in charge of the United States Postal Service. I'm ready. Give me the job.

Got some good ideas for you. Keep it alive. When you're sitting in the break room and people start talking about you, the postal service, they suck. although they just deliver mail to my house every day, but they suck. They spend all this money. You can say, well, you know, if the United States Postal Service

had Jeff Fisher as the Postmaster General, it would be fixed. San Francisco Transit Authority, Bart, they don't want to release the crime surveillance videos during, in their tunnels. and in their trains and at the train stops? Why?

It'll make people racist. Yep. Oh, you've decided what will make people racist. That's good. That's good. I'm glad to, I'm glad that you've decided for us. Kidrock for Senate.com. Is it real?

He says yes. But the way he answered yes, and the way some of the reports are makes me think that it's not real. But could he win? Absolutely. Absolutely. And good luck. God bless.

And the reason that we're still mentioning a climate change in our military, industrial complex spending bill, because they have some stories out there that say, oh, three years to save the planet or its irreversible destruction. Yes. Yes. And those are the same people that claim that the giant iceberg that broke off is because of climate change.

Oh. You mean it wasn't because of climate change? No. I'm sorry. Sorry. It wasn't. Sorry to bring you down. But it wasn't.

It wasn't climate change. Okay? Look it up. Or you know what? Or I can just tell you. Because see, what happens is, is the ice builds up and it gets so heavy and then it breaks off. Not that because it heats up,

it just got too much ice. It got too heavy. And then it broke off. And if you look at, there's videos and there's also time lapse where you can see the crack getting bigger and bigger as it gets heavier and heavier. Now those of you that think,

that's because it was melting. No, sorry. It wasn't. A plan approved in May set to take effect very soon in Chicago, forcing high school seniors to be enlisted in the military, have a job, be enrolled in a gap year program, or have a college acceptance letter before a Chicago public schooling system will give them their diploma. Isn't that special? It's nice to them decide what I have to do with my life. Mayor Rahm Emanuel, thank you. Oh, man, you are.

You are taking care of us, aren't you? Yes, you are. Yes, you are. A Texas judge who was placed on unpaid leave after officials discovered she was not a U.S. citizen. Do you remember hearing about that story? The Corpus Christi judge sitting down the bench wasn't the citizen of the United States? She's now obtained her citizenship. That was pretty fast.

pretty fast for those of you that say you can't become a citizen for a long time once you come into the country the Corpus Christi City Council will decide whether the judge should be reinstated I'm sorry the former judge should be reinstated I would say no although if all her cases off the top of my head I would say no look you lied right you lied to us and maybe she you know that that whole uh it's not a lie I just never said I was a citizen. Okay. All right.

Thank you. Appreciate it. But, I mean, go be a judge somewhere else. We'll be a lawyer. We love you. Take care. Goodbye. Have a nice day.

Yes? No? Yes. Charlie Guard case still going on in the United Kingdom. We've got a doctor from the United States flying over next week to, it's nice of the court and the hospital to allow a professional from the United States to come over and just take a doctor.

look at the kid. You know, he's, look, he's part of here in the U.S., the Columbia University in New York City. He's got a special program that he's trying to develop new experimental therapies

for people with the Charlie Guard condition. And he's going to fly over and give his assessment. Let's see. So that's special. That's special. Maybe the doctor will say, you know, Your Honor, despite there's a 10% chance, we should still take that 10% chance.

That's not what's going to happen, though. There's only a 10% chance. Okay, well, we're just going to disconnect. He's going to die. Have a nice day. Good luck. But the verdict is going to be on July 25th. July 25th is when the judge said that he would sign.

That's a sad, sad story when parents cannot take care of their own. Children, that is for sure. And of course, so one of my favorite stories of the week. Donald Trump has been over in France, and he was there over there, you know, saying hello, partying, having a good time. And, you know, Trump's got the younger wife.

And Macaron, Macaron, Mr. Francie, Mr. Frenchie, has got the older wife, right? And I think if I'm right, if I remember right, she's the same age as Trump. And he's the same age as Melania. So, you know, it's just a reverse. It's a reverse special love affair. And so Don couldn't help himself when he was saying goodbye. They were on their little tour of some one of the museums.

Hey, you know, you look a pretty good shape. And he says beautiful. And then he looks at it. And then the groan turns around and he looks at him and he looks at him and is beautiful. I love Donald J. Trump, the president of the United States of America. You're in pretty good shape. Beautiful. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show.

The Blaze Radio Network. Welcome to it. 888-903.33 is the phone number if you would like to participate in today's broadcast. All right, so Reginald Robinson, a college law professor, found guilty of sexual harassment because of a question. Because of a question. Okay? They complained that the test question described a hypothetical bikini wax. The customer claimed to have fallen asleep and been inappropriately touched.

Robinson's question asked if they had a legal case against the salon owner. The students said they felt they were forced to reveal if they had ever had waxes themselves. They also said they did not like the use. of the word genitals. He didn't use the word genitals in a law class. Did he? No. Oh my gosh.

Now, he was found guilty of sexual harassment. He now has to undergo sensitivity training and have all of his test questions screened by another member of the staff. That is absolutely agonizing. And it may prove why this new survey released this past week by the Pew Research Center reveals that just 36% of Republicans polled believe that higher education has a positive effect on the nation, while 58% feel it's negative. Do you think?

Because, I mean, just two years ago, 54% of the Republicans believed higher education was good for the nation. Okay? The same survey showed that 72% of Democrats believe colleges and universities positively affect the nation. President of the American Council of Trustees and alumni contends the perceptions about academia do not necessarily fall along party lines, as individuals on both sides have become increasingly fearful

that college campuses no longer respect the First Amendment. Reginald Robinson, accused of sexual harassment by two students in Howard University and Washington, D.C., the students complained that a test question described a hypothetical bikini wax. The students said they felt they were forced to reveal if they had ever had waxes themselves. They also said they did not like the word genitals. Robinson must now undergo sensitivity training

and have all this test questions screened by another staff member. Professor should absolutely walk away. And that is absolutely agonizing. I hope for some reason those two students never have to face a real trial where the use of the word genitals actually happens because it won't be hypothetical then

it'll be unbelievable and do you wonder why higher education is getting a bad rap? That's just another example another example another example of why you can't be conservative or even just a Republican.

You can be a member of a left-wing group. You can be a member of the Democratic Party and say so on a college campus, but heaven forbid. You say something that a conservative might say. you will have all hell to pay for. Got it? Now there's been a dramatic shift on those campuses. I mean, there's plenty of conservative universities that are starting to grow,

and this is a perfect example of why, because of hypothetical questions causing professors to be found guilty of sexual harassment. All right. Pete is at it again. We'll tell you about that in the next half hour. and, you know, I love people. They are some of my favorite people on Earth.

And this time, they've become even more special. The Jeff Fisher Show, The Blaze Radio Network. Daryl, 3393 is the phone number. All right. So our friends at PETA are at it again, and I was busy reading this story over again because it's pretty amazing that they get away with this. So you remember the monkey selfie?

that made the rounds and the monkeys were taking selfies. And the photographer had the pictures of all the monkeys taking selfies. And a particular one figuring out, you know, taking the picture of himself or herself. And it was from the, it was one of the endangered, okay, I'm going to have the computer tell you what they're called. They're endangered and they're called macaque. The macaque monkey. Keep that around. because I'm going to forget.

What's it called again? Macac. Yeah, thank you. Macac monkey. All right. So Peter has all wound up saying the selfie money that the company has made and that he has made, the photographer,

should go to the monkey. Okay? Wait. What? Yes, it should go to the monkey. Now, the courts are like hearing on Thursday, the federal appeal judge at the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco said it was absurd for PETA to claim that the monkey was entitled to copyright on behalf of a monkey. Now, the attorneys for Mr. Slater. Now, they're not even sure they have the right, a monkey.

One of the things that's happened, though, since the selfie picture is that the, the people now there are calling it the selfie monkey and aren't killing them anymore. So they're growing. So he's helped them by promoting this with the selfie monkey. So now they're not just the, they're not just the, they're not just the. Macaque monkey. They're the selfie monkey. See how smooth that was?

I'll try it one more time. Watch, hold on. They're not just the... Macac. Even smoother. They're the selfie monkey. Okay? Now, PETA has given their statement on the...

Peter has given their statement on the... Macaque. Monkey selfie case appeals hearing. PETA is pleased with the robust discussion of this historic... case in which it is undisputed even by the defendants that the macaque. Naruto made the cause and effect connection between pressing the shutter button and the change to his reflection in the camera lens, resulting in his now famous selfie photographs.

Copyright law is clear that under these circumstances he should own the photos. And PETA is proud to be his voice in court. The proceeds from the use of these photos should go to protect Naruto and his family who are being wiped out for illegal bushmeat and whose homelands are being destroyed by human encroachment. As we learn about these highly intelligent, complex primates who have their own culture and their own language

and want only to be left alone and in peace, PETA believes that society has a moral imperative to advance and amend the law to recognize animal rights. A dear Peter. No. Animals do not have it right. Okay. It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, monkey. Okay. And, uh, that can just continue to be a macaque monkey. Uh, it's very simple. Now we all, I mean, it's unbelievable since they, it actually is helping them, Peter should be happy. But no, but no, but no, since the animals don't actually. have the right since it was just humans saying oh you know what we should call the we

we should we should call the macaque monkey the selfie monkey this is smooth operation and then we won't eat them we won't kill them they'll grow so there'll be plenty more Macac Monkeys And we'll just call them selfie monkeys Instead of Macac Monkeys

Now I just want to continue Doing the story Just so I can give her a hard time Continue to just keep Doing stuff for the So that I can continue to have her play the Macac Soundbite for the monkey

I'm just going to keep that up all day Macac Thank you Peter drives me insane Come on now Really the fight is for animal rights I mean that's really what they're fighting They could give a flying crap about the macaque monkey.

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Now, the main story behind this, which is really agonizing, is that the photographer who did the selfie pictures of the macaque monkey is now broke. Because of these lawsuits from Pita, he is Baruch. Got no money. He said he's thinking about not. even being a photographer

anymore. All right? He wants to, he's going to continue. He might become a dog walker or something else because he's broke thanks to Peter's lawsuit against him because of his macaque. Monkey selfie.

So I think maybe, perhaps, Peter should belly up to the bar with a little bit of cash. This is ridiculous. And if the court If the courts decide that, well, you know, we don't have animal rights. And obviously, there's no way to pay the Nauru. That's his name, Naruto.

But they don't even know if it's actually Naruto. That's actually the same macaque monkey. They don't even know if that is the case. The guy couldn't even come back to the U.S. He lives in the United Kingdom. He couldn't even come back to the United States to come to the court case because he is a broke. no money thank you

Peter appreciate it very much all because David Slater let the Macac monkey take a selfie and it actually helped

it helped the people are like hey these are cool they're now selfie monkeys we're not even going to call them Macac anymore we're going to call them selfie monkeys and you know what?

They're probably pretty cool. We probably shouldn't eat them. Okay, we'll kill other animals. Oh, that's what they're pissed about. Wait. I freaking hate PETA. I know they care about animals and I care about animals too. And I know at their core, at their core, I'm going to give them a little break.

At their core, therefore, you know, that's in their name, right? The ethical treatment of animals. I got it. But in the end. we are humans. We are the ruling being on the planet. So if we decide that a particular animal is no longer worth being on the planet, tough, tough, another animal will replace it.

Sooner or later, somebody will let another monkey take a... Thank you. Sooner or later, somebody will let another... Maccaf. Monkey take a selfie and we'll be okay. It'll be all right because nobody, oh, you know what, those are pretty nice. We'll keep those around for a while.

We like them. They're cool. And instead of calling them, Macac, we'll call them selfie monkeys. Macac. Macac. Thank you.

This is the Jeff Fisher show. On the Blaze Radio Network. If you're not sure when you. Welcome to an 888-90-33-33 is the phone number. this is the Jeff Fisher radio program. And amazingly, this is Jeff Fisher on the Blaze Radio Network. All right, so I'm perusing my Twitter account at Jeff EMRA during the little siesta called a commercial break. And I see a tweet here that says, please lead with your mistakes.

Age gap is the same 24 years. The Trumps are both seven years older than the French first couple. I'm not quite sure. First of all, you can't hold me with things I say. I can't even remember what I said a minute ago. That's just not fair. But they're both, what, 25 years apart?

You said they're 24, they're 24, 25 years apart? Right, Trump is 71. Melania is 47. Emmanuel Macron is 39 years old, and the wife is 64 years old. Because she was his teacher. you're in pretty good shape beautiful

so there you have it if I said something wrong I think I said that they were the same age difference right that's what I thought I said they were the same oh I said they were the same age right the same I got you I just misspoke

it was the age difference between them anyway there you go All right, you got the story now, you're happy? Beautiful. You. You are in good shape. Come over here. Let me feel those buns of yours.

Emmanuel, what do you think? Beautiful, huh? Check out Melania. She's just as hard as this one here. Stop it. I mean, Trump's over there party in her friends. Good stuff. Good stuff.

Well, there you go. You're happy? I've led with my mistakes if that... You know, I misspoke. It's not a mistake. It's not a lie. It's a misbe. Do I work for the government now?

Yes. As a matter of fact, I do. Good news coming from a visa. Visa looking to push more small businesses into updating their digital payment technology, offering up to $10,000. $10,000, each to 50 U.S.-based small businesses. business owners that are committed to going cashless. Yay.

Yay. I'm almost, I know a lot of people might think twice about this and think, no, not cashless, not cashless, what are they going to do? We can't go cashless. How close are you to being cashless in your life right now? Because I am really close. I mean, it is rare. I keep, you know, I keep a couple bucks in my wallet for whatever reason I have no idea to buy stuff behind my wife's back so she doesn't know.

Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what I use cash for. What do you use cash for? I mean, I'm darn near cashless right now. But the availability is still there, Jeff. And if you're cashless, they can track every move you make. They're tracking it already. I'm convinced. Just put the chip in.

But Visa is helping the small businesses out. Now, I hope that Visa is going to help them get the correct card readers because there's plenty of businesses large and small that do not have decent card readers. And that's even more of a pain. And now they have the chips. Okay, so now we have the card readers that you have to, you can't just slide it and it just goes in.

You have to put the chip in. And if they have the crappy card reader, you got to hold the card reader and slide your card in. It takes forever. It takes an extra 35 seconds. 35 or 40 seconds. It's horrible. I mean, how much time is it going to take? Get the good reader in.

There's only a couple businesses that have great readers. And you put the chip in, man, and boom, it's good. So I hope Visa is putting in the good readers. That's how good they are. You put it in and it goes, boom. You're done. tell me that's not a good reader. You still have the slide for the people that don't have the chip yet.

But if your card has a chip on it, you can't slide it. You've got to put it in. That's it. And they'll call the authorities, man. Can I just slide it? No, it won't let you. No, it won't let you. I just want to slide it.

No. No, you can't do that, sir. I'm sorry. I know, but it's not reading my chip right. Why can I just, you just have to put it in right? Just hold it there. Move it around. The right there, sir.

Okay. I mean, it's agonizing. So Visa, please, if anything, help the small businesses out with the good readers, please. That means a lot to me, just you and me. Okay, together. But going cashless? Okay, I'm all about it. Let's go cashless.

Let's move on. Put the chip in me. Let's move on. They're going to track me. They're going to track me. That's the way it goes. Right? Right?

Of course. Of course. We've got a guy out of here. He won't put his chip. Man. Agonizing. Remember they used to have to slide them? I don't.

I was too young to remember that, but I just remember that they used to have a little machine where they used to have to slide the card with the copy paper and everything. Oh, agonizing. This is the Jeff Fisher show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
