Follow me on that.

Snapchat 10 seconds. It goes right to your posts on your Snapchat page. I kind of like it. It's kind of cute. Through the eyes of the Snapchatter. Welcome to the Blaze Radio Network. Michael Pelka is the guy that's on the air before this show. Now, you know, he's on Monday through Friday, right after middays, right after the Glenn Beck radio program.

And then he, you know, he throws, he's kind enough to give us an extra show on Saturday mornings. and and doggone it we appreciate it we do but he had this silly before he left he's talking about his silly tweet question that he's calling a vital question washer dryer left or right pretty funny now of course I mean in my house now the dryer is to the left

Now, according to this, Michael Palcapul, 64% of you have the washer on the left and a 24% have the dryer on the left, 7% have the washer on the bottom. I mean, why would you put the washer on the bottom? I guess because it's the heaviest. I don't know. I would seem to me that you would want to be able to put the clothes

from the washer, lift them down to the dryer, but what do I know? Anyway, and 5% of you don't have a washer and dryer. I feel for you. When I was a kid, we used to have to go to the laundromat every week. And I can remember to this day, walking to the laundromat,

pulling the red wagon full of dirty clothes, and then taking the laundromat, which was, you know, five or six blocks down, go the laundromat, do all the clothes, fold them, fold them up nicely, put them back in the wagon, and wheel them back home. I said at that time,

there will be no more, laundromats in my life. I do everything I possibly can to avoid laundromats. At one point, I did have to use the laundromat when the washer and dryer had not been delivered. When we moved to Texas from Pennsylvania, when we came here with the Glen, you know, when we moved here to Texas, there was a period of time that the washing and dryer had not been delivered

from our home in Pennsylvania to our place, our new home in Texas. I damn near just bought new clothes every day. So I didn't have to go to the laundromat. But honey, we'd be broke. I don't care. It kept me away from the laundromat. But I didn't. I did test laundromats.

So I feel for you that don't have washer and dryers. And then I was thinking about why my dryer is on the left at this house. And it's only because that's the way whoever built the house has it set up. Because if I were to do it myself, the washer, be on the left and the dryer would be on the right. Welcome to the broadcast, 888-903-33. This is the Jeff Fisher program. There's plenty of stuff going on.

Today we're going to go a little in-depth on some robots. I've got an author that talks about, will robots take your job? It should be fascinating. I'm fascinated to hear what he thinks. I started reading, going through his book, and seeing his ideas on it and seeing what he feels, and we are behind the A-ball.

And we'll talk to him about that next hour. Some of the headlines that will get you through, you know, Monday when you go to work, you're out and about you're sitting, you know, maybe tomorrow at church. And people, you know, you're done with church, and you're having a little coffee and cookie. And people are talking about what's going on in the news. Plenty of stories. Plenty of stories out there for you. and I want you to be able to at least go, yeah, you know, I heard about that,

and at least have the headline under your belt. So some of the stories that you'll be talking about, Fox News anchor host Eric Bowling, accused of inappropriate communications with coworkers, according to a report by the Huffington Post, Bowling reportedly sent an unsolicited photo of male genitalia to multiple women. Now, the recipients of the, photo confirmed its contents to Huff Post, which is not revealing their identities.

Oh, okay. They were former Fox colleagues, and it happened several years ago. So what are we to make from this? I mean, I don't know. And also, and I would say if Eric would have completely come out and said, this is insane. stop it. Then I would have said it's a witch hunt years ago. Who cares? But his response

from his attorney, Mr. Bowling recalls no such inappropriate communications. Does not believe he sent any such communications and will vigorously pursue his legal

remedies for any false and deflamatory accusations that were made. Now, in legal ease, that's a denial. But it just kind of, you know what, I don't recall.

Did I send a picture of my genitals to her? You know, I can't recall. I can't recall any such, you know, if you want to call it inappropriate communication, okay. So,

good luck, Eric. They're going to try to drive him into the ground with that. And as long as we're talking about inappropriate communications. Pete Rose

under the watchful eye of the world again, they will not leave this guy alone, man. They were not leave Pete Rose alone. He was supposed to be honored by the Philadelphia Phillies this weekend. No. Apparently,

they're giving him a hard time because they believe that he had a sexual relationship in the 70s with a minor. Now, Rose acknowledged that he had the sexual relationship with the woman in court documents that were made public Monday. But he said that she was, he thought she was 16, which was legal age of consent in Ohio. You know, nobody said he was 34 at the time, married, father of two. He doesn't remember how long the relationship lasts.

I mean, okay, so he's not a good guy. Okay, so we got it. He's not a good guy. He's a baseball superstar running around the country, having sex with anything he can. Good thing, that doesn't happen anymore. But they are not leaving. The Phillies also said they were not being away the Rose Bobblehead figure. Oh, come on.

If anyone out there has an opportunity to get a Rose, Pete Rose Bobblehead, please send it to me. I desperately want to Pete Rose Bumblehead. So they're not, you know, this comes out. There's no, I mean, Pete, I love you. And I believe you should be in the Hall of Fame. No question. If anything, you should be in the Hall of Fame as a player.

And then we just throw in the asterisk that, you know, he was gambling as a manager. Something. Or we don't mention it at all. But as a player, it's a, it's a crime that he's, He's not in the Hall of Fame. But now, because they just keep piling on new information about the bad guyishness of Pete Rose,

he's going nowhere. It's not going to happen. Sorry, Pete. I was for you, bud, bud, bud. She's not going to make it. Oh, I really, I thought she was 16. It doesn't work. Even if it was back in the 70s.

I mean, Pete's been married for quite a while. Pete's what? Like, old is Pete? 75? He's got to be. I bet you Pete Rose is probably pushing 80 now. He looks pretty good for 80. And his wife is like 10.

No, his wife. This particular wife, and see, that's what I mean. He's not a good guy. This particular wife is way younger than him. So God bless him. How old is he? 76. I could call on my part.

Thank you, 75. How old his wife? Come on. This wife has got to be. I think this wife is probably, what, maybe 45? This one? Come on now. now his partner no i don't know we got look let me double check that 37 45 i could the old hag of

45 no way Pete's not doing that 30 so okay i got it he's not a good guy in his personal life but he's still Pete Rose right no okay remember uh Martin Scarellilli the arrogant punk from New York that bought the rights to the EpiPen and then rose the price then just jacked up the price and said tough get over it

well he was found guilty of three counts of securities fraud conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud the prosecutors had accused him of repeatedly misleading investors about what he was doing with their money. He told lies upon lies, including at one time claiming he had $40 million in one of his funds

when he only had $300 in the bank. In one case, he bought rights to a life-saving drug in 2014 and promptly raised the price from $1,350 a pill to $750 a pill. Wow. He was arrested in 2015 on charges he looted another drug company he founded of $11 million in stock and cash to pay the hedge fund investors. Now he keeps calling this a witch hunt. He said just hours after he was convicted,

he boasted about his chances of avoiding prison during a live stream video. See, Martin, this is why people don't like you. This is why you're an arrogant little bastard. I'm one of the richest New Yorkers there is, and after today's outcome, it's going to stay that way. What a douche. he taunted prosecutors and predicted his odds of not getting prison time were pretty good.

Hey, if the government wants to spend tens of millions of dollars and that's all I get, the prosecutor's case was pretty pitiful performance. Barton Scarelli, good luck not going to jail, pal. Good luck not going to jail. I stayed up last night until all hours because I missed Anthony Scaramucci's tweet calling off his webcast So he tweets yesterday afternoon

He's calling off his webcast I didn't see it I expected I kept looking for the alert I kept looking at us up all night Waiting for the The mooch webcast Because he was going to tell it all He was going to tell it all on his webcast

Tell his side of the White House disgrace But But no. Yesterday afternoon, he tweeted, he tweeted that he was going to call it off. And I missed it. He tweeted off, no press event tomorrow. Focusing on family, my work in the private sector,

moving forward, stay tuned. Oh, we will, mooch. We will. You talk about a guy that's had some tough days, man. Now, he's got a few million in the bank, so God bless him but you want to talk about a guy that's had some tough days I mean

he's out of work says yes to a job then Trump calls so he says yes to Trump says no to the job that he'd already accepted goes to the White House, stays there for 10 days gets fired the wife is pregnant she leaves

I can't take you anymore that's some tough days that's why I was kind of looking forward to the webcast but didn't happen. And the White House is underextended remodeling going on right now. Trump left yesterday.

He's going to be spending some time. Where would you think Donald Trump would go to spend some time away from the White House? Marlago. It's Florida. And tropical storms coming through. Nope, let's go to my club in New Jersey. Yep, taking the staff there.

We're going there for 17 days. The White House is going to be replacing the West Wing's 27-year-old heating and ventilation air conditioning. age vac system. 27 years the new, the AC and heating system has been in there. Now they claim that because of the frequency of use, the HVAC system's usage age is pegged in around 84 years old. That means my air conditioning units at my house are about 150.

Come on. You're supposed to be able to use them like that, aren't you? Among the other facets of the White House that will be refurbished are the Navy Mess Kitchen, a restaurant at the West Wing run by the U.S. Navy. Buildings lower lobby, the information technology system, and other generic cosmetic upgrades. Yeah, that might be a bad thing to work on that whole IT system. There's been a few issues surrounding that. Yeah.

Not necessarily Donald, but, you know, there's been some issues around the entire Washington, D.C. Now, the White House has not been worked on men since, I mean, it's been since Eisenhower. It's quite a ways. It's quite a ways. I mean, there's got to be some, uh, got to be some, uh,

maybe some paneling that needs to be changed. And that could have been why Trump was joking the other day about everybody was so loud about it called the White House a dump. Of course it's a dump to him. It doesn't have the gold fixtures and it doesn't have the, the beautiful Manhattan skyline. It's Donald Trump. Of course it's a dump to him.

But that's, I mean, he was joking. around. They're coming to, they're remodeling it. It's a dump. That's Donald messing around on the golf course. Deal. And do you remember the baby that had heart surgery in the womb? It was born this week. Yeah. It was born. It was great. It was born blue like it was supposed to be. But it came out crying, which they didn't expect. And think about that. It had heart surgery in the womb. Tell me again when life starts. I can't remember what the

This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network The Jeff Fisher Show Also massive search is underway After a Marine Corps aircraft crashed off the coast of Australia 23 of the 26 service members were on board have been recovered They are still searching for the other three

That is an ongoing news story as we speak And, I mean, look, good times are just around the corner. The Megamillions did not have a winner. So right now, the next Mega Millions drawing will be $346 million. Tonight, the jackpot, the Powerball, is going to be estimated at about $286 million. So listen. I love you and you know that right.

But if I happen to hit that and you tune in next Saturday and you hear the open and then you hear, you know that I won, it may not have been announced anywhere. I might not because it's going to take a little while. You got to get your things in order before you take it to them and say, hey, here's my ticket. Here's my winning ticket. and I want the cash payout, please. And, you know, I want to take the longest amount of time before you announce who won it.

But you'll know. You will know because when you tune in the Jeff Fisher show, you'll say to yourself, he won. And you can count on me taking the cash payout. No question. Okay, I want the cash payout. You go ahead, take your little tax money out of there, whatever it is. Because whatever you get at 286 million or over 300 million,

I mean, you're still walking out of there with 150 million, probably a lot more, but you walk out of there with 150 million? I mean, I'm willing to go ahead and say that I could be okay with that. I know it bumps up the tax bracket, but it'll so be it. So just know that when you hear, this is like a public service announcement. When you hear this, the host has won the lottery. The host has won the lottery.

So much more on the Jeff Fisher broadcast coming up here on the Blaze Radio Network. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. I've got, man, I've got so much stuff to get through every Saturday. You're going to be so full of information after this program. I mean, all I can tell you is you're welcome. I mean, you're welcome. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.

work. The Jeff Fisher Show is on. That it is. Welcome to it. 888-90-303-33 is the phone number. All right. So I also, I failed to mention the first half hour that we have a travel ban. The NCAA, or the NCAA?

No, the NCAA doesn't have a travel ban. As of yet, I mean, they might have. They might jump on this as well. but the NAACP, which may impact the NCAA, has put a travel ban on the state of Missouri. Be careful. They want to tell you that it could be dangerous for you, people of color, travel to the state of Missouri. Tell me if I'm wrong.

But aren't there people of color and black people and African-American people living in Missouri already? Okay. I thought there was. I'm sorry. I was just told no. So good luck and don't travel to the great state of Missouri. So I'm driving around being the chauffeur being my kids Uber. And they're telling me about yesterday, they're talking to me about you.

YouTube being sued. And they're talking about the, you know, the YouTubers. And I mean, my kids, they've got a list of YouTubers that they're fans of. They don't watch television. They watch YouTube. They have YouTube stars that they, you know, that they watch. The YouTubers. And they're telling me how that YouTube is finally getting sued.

Those bastards hate YouTube. Even though you use it free. But I hate it. So anyway, and they're trying to tell me the story about how YouTube had changed their algorithm. And this particular YouTuber or YouTubers lost, you know, like 90% of their revenue because of the way YouTube had reconfigured. And that, you know, they're finally being sued and they're hoping to, you know, have other YouTubers come on board. and who lost money. And other YouTubers have talked about losing money

and they go tell you what to do to go through to make sure that you subscribe and on subscribing all that kind of stuff. And they were telling me a story about a guy who, when YouTube changed their algorithm to make it ad friendly and then they said that you... One of the things that they talked about was the rights. Right? So if you don't have the rights to the music,

They can't, they cut a bunch of channels because a lot of people were using music video and music that they didn't have the rights to, which is fair. So one guy decides, well, look, instead of getting pulled from YouTube, I'm going to take down the videos that have the music in it,

that has the rights on it. But when he did that, see, then it takes down his actual subscriber and view list, which then takes him off the trending chart, of YouTube, which then takes him off. Nobody knows, nobody, everybody that logs onto YouTube, it just doesn't pop up. You have to actually

physically search for this particular YouTuber, so he lost all kinds of money doing that. And YouTube is like, and I'm trying to tell my kids, well, you know, I mean, I'm pretty sure. I mean, YouTube's a private company. They can pretty much do what they want. You're counting on them. You're using their product

to post your material, and they They're taking your product and selling advertising, and they're giving you a cut from that. You know, you got to do kind of what they want you to do, or you don't get your cut. Well, the apocalypse, the YouTube-based show Apocalypse, right? The lawsuit begins in March of this year when several brands pulled advertising from YouTube. after learning that some spots had been automatically attached to videos promoting terrorism and hate speech. In response, the video site improved its safeguards.

Making it easier for the brands to avoid pairing their ads with the risky content types. No, it's appeased the brands, but it had its unattended effect. And it might not necessarily be the right word. Some creators complained that their channels had become unintended victims of YouTube's effort to shield brands from dangerous content. Many channels saw massive drops in revenue. Some losing all of their ads. And this apocalypse, they were making 10 to 13,000. I'm sorry, 15,000.

10 to 15 grand a month. I mean, I'm willing to edit some videos. for 10 grand a month. What do you think? But it dropped down to $333 a month. I mean, that puts some people out of business. If you have video editors, some of these YouTubers, so I've listened to my kids and I'm thinking,

well, you know, if you come up with some content, you know, I'll let you get a YouTube channel and then we can get you, you know, we'll get you a laptop for the back room and you guys can edit videos, get you a couple of decent cameras and you guys can create some content and, you know, then you can learn,

you know, have your own schedule and you can learn what it's like to, you know, create something, and then edit it and upload it and try to get people to watch it and advertise it, that kind of thing, you know, it would be a good thing. And my son says, yeah, well, you know, maybe if it gets going, I can get a, you know, we can go ahead and get a video editor. Many of the YouTubers have their video editors. And when the money got cut, they had to drop it.

Stop it. Okay. What do you do for a little bit? I edit the Apocalypse YouTube videos. Okay. Good for you. Good for you. Now, the lawsuit is targeting California's unfair competition law. The two creators hope that they can compel YouTube to reveal the specifics of its algorithms. Good luck.

YouTube has a duty to disclose with detailed specificity and complete transparency, the terms by which content is selected or deselected for monetization. Okay, failing to disclose this essential information to content providers along with maintaining unilateral control to change the terms and conditions with govern the payment received by content providers for the creative work as anti-competitive, harmful to the creative content market, and also a breach of good faith and fair dealing. And prior to this next paragraph, I was telling my kids, again, I was saying, well, YouTube, I'm sure, you know, they're a private company, so I'm sure that they're a private company,

so I'm sure they have a disclaimer, and I don't know this, because I haven't really, I mean, do I use YouTube? Absolutely. Do I am I aware of all their rules and regulations? No, I am not a YouTuber. Although for $10,000 to $15,000 a month, I could become one. I'm thinking, well, YouTube's got to have their disclaimer. You can put up anything you want, but, and if you make some money, we'll share it with you.

Good day. Other than that, have a nice day. If we feel like we don't like your video or you're putting up crap, we'll pull it. If we don't put ads on your video, you're not going to make anything. Good day. We'll give you a penny a subscriber. Whatever the deal is. Whatever the deal is.

That's their deal. It's the private company and you either can use them or not use them. The big obstacle the lawsuit will have to overcome can be found right at the top of YouTube's terms of service. Although we may attempt to notify you when major changes are made to these terms of service, you should periodically review the most up-to-date version. YouTube may in its sole discretion modify or revise these terms of service and policies at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or revisions.

Nothing in these terms of service shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits. Now, YouTube responded with, look, we've always worked hard to provide creators with the opportunity to earn revenue on our platform. We've tried hard for that. And you know what? We're still trying hard for that. But you can go beat sand trying to get some more out of this. So good luck with that.

I mean, I get there frustration. It is a frustrating thing when you're especially using a product. And you've been making some decent income. And then the rug gets pulled out from underneath you. I can understand the frustration. But you've got to be prepared when you're using another person's product. They get to do what they want with their product. That's what makes this America.

Yeah. You know what? You can start your own YouTube. Yeah. You can do that. You can start your own YouTube. And then you can make up your own rules. This is the Jeff Fisher Show.

And then the stuff gets posted on there. They'll let you know. Coming up next hour, we're going to be talking to Nigel. on. Will robots take your jobs is his book? And it's fascinating. Because everyone's kind of trying to dodge the bullet over should we be worried or should we not

be worried and should we be thinking about it. And apparently, at least the United States has been not on the cutting edge of thinking ahead. And we better do that soon. When you go to to the website Glennbeck.com. There is a poll that's asked, what do you think? Does AI creep you out or make you excited? Take the poll. And you scroll down and it says, hey, does

AI make you nervous? Yes, it's creepy and a huge unknown. No, when and where do I get my own robot? I'm clicking on that one. No, when and where do I get my own robot? Let's see what happens. Vote now.

I voted now. Vote now. Why won't it? Why can't I vote? Why can't I vote? I want to know if I'm like other people or not. It's not. All right, we're going to reset the stupid thing.

I want to vote. I want to find out if it's creepier if I'm like other people. Does AI give you heby-jibis? Okay. Vote now. No. Okay. All right.

No. When and where do I get my own robot? Only 13%. 87% of you said, yes, it's creepy and a huge unknown. Wait till you get your own robot. Then you'll be singing a different tune. Okay. And never mind.

Never mind that, you know, that Facebook has pulled the plug on the, you know, they've pulled the plug. They made a big deal out of them pulling the plug on the robots that were creating their own language. Shut down a pair of them. of its artificial intelligence robots. They invented their own language. But they just bought another AI company. Just within the, after the time that this story broke,

they bought another AI company. So I don't think Facebook is giving up. I think they just made a big deal out of this to make it look like we've got it under control. There's no way we would ever let robots rule anything other than we're ruling them. Now, the language I found fascinating, Bob and Alice, the two robots.

Bob, I can, I, I, I, everything else. Alice, balls have zero to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, I, I, I, can, I, I, I, I, everything else. Alice, balls have a ball to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, mean to Bob, I. Now, you laugh and I laugh because it sounds kind of funny. However, they understood each other. They knew exactly. I mean, Bob knew exactly what Alice meant when Alice said,

balls have a ball to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, too. I mean, that's what Bob went, I. So, I mean, don't laugh. I okay because you can be Bob at any point in time you know Bob is Bob's like the Bob's the husband I she won't shut up about the balls to me to me to me to me I all right I got it I got that's just too short I got it that's robot verbie I got it I just shut up Alice to take you anymore that's what it is I figured it out, Facebook.

Call me. Call me. I'll stop by and we'll figure out the Bob and Alice. What they're talking about. Because Bob is like, I can, I, I, I, everything else. I mean, you know what he's saying there, right? Yeah, I got it, Alice. Just leave, get off me.

Leave me alone. And she's like, balls have zero to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me. That's Alice saying, get off me. Bob was like, you, I, everything else? balls have a ball to me to me to me to me to be to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to he's like I I can I eye I I everything else and Alice is like balls have a ball to me to me to me to me to me too that Bob was like I I mean that's just you and me just you and me just like oh I got it okay I got it.

Just stop speaking. Hey, Alice. I. This is the Jeff Fisher show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. The commitment was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program. Now.

Stand clear. Life signs stable. It's alive. Set it loose. This is the Jeff Fisher show. on the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome to the broadcast. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.

888-90333 is the phone number. You can follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA, Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, and Instagram at JeffieMR. So with the poll on the Glennbeck website, Glennbeck.com, does AI make you nervous? 87% of you answered yes. It's creepy and a huge unknown. And yet we use AI every day, voice technology.

It's already in our lives. The military is using it. But we still have people who believe that the collapse is coming and society is coming. We got word from a former Facebook executive saying he believes society will collapse within 30 years as robots put half of humans out of work. But the society collapse with only half the humans out of work? I'm not sure. But I have a book in my hands. Will robots take your job?

Nigel Cameron goes through the idea and the process of will robots take your job? Who's looking into it? What can happen? What we can do about it? And what needs to really be done for the future to, you know, either make it happen or not make it happen. Nigel, thanks for joining us on the broadcast today.

How are you, sir? Great to be here. Thank you very much. So the question, will robots take your job? Before we get to that, you know, so many people,

as in the poll, think that, you know, AI is creepy and a huge unknown, and I'm sure that they're actually, they're not referring to what we all know is under the AI tent. They're referring to, you know,

the creepy robot that comes in and says, I want to kill you. you have said that we as here in the United States anyway are far behind the eight ball on preparing the masses for what's going to happen. Is that still true today? Absolutely true. You know, I mean, we had election cycle I sat through every single one of the debates, both sides, the whole lot. Not one word was said about this question.

This is a huge, huge question. Do you believe that How many years? How many years do we have? Well, I mean, there are some big reports out there saying something like 15 years, 25 years. We aren't quite sure. But, I mean, big changes ahead and certainly in our lifetime. So when let's use the Teamsters, for example.

We hear stories all the time about the driverless trucks. And I've seen videos of the trucks actually working. And I see that they've started where they're making. the test runs actually have a human sit in the truck. I mean, that saves the Teamsters job for maybe four years, maybe. After that truck drives accident-free for about two years, the company's going to go, yeah, we don't need you anymore. Get out.

Yeah, the thing about trucks is, you know, I mean, they're very expensive things to operate. And so, then often you'll get, you know, 24-hour operation, cut accidents, cut insurance costs, you know, cut environmental issues, lower gas, all that kind of stuff, you know, and cutting it on labor. I mean, it's incredible. We're going to begin with trucks.

I mean, a lot of this stuff we don't know. We don't know whether there will be new jobs or bad. We do know there'll be no jobs driving trucks down freeways. I mean, that's a dead suit, 10 years' time. And I actually talked about this with someone from the NFL, CIO. I said, doesn't it worry you? The team says might have zero members. And the guy just said, no, no, it'll all be all right.

I don't understand why people aren't getting worried. I mean, that's a complete dream world that it'll all be all. right. I mean, we should already be... One of the things that really worries me about the truck driving. I mean, this is the leading single occupation for men in the United States. Truck drivers. Right. It's the most popular job.

Yeah, so, I mean, we still need truck drivers. Obviously, we'll still need truck drivers to deliver to places outside of where most GPSs and computer drawn maps have drawn, right? I mean, the highway system is good, and you'll be able to drive. from one populated area to another populated area, but to deliver the things, you probably will need, still need truck drivers, not cross-country truck drivers, but you still need delivery people.

For the moment, for the moment, yes. But, of course, one thing is leading to another. I know, but even with the driverless cars, and that's coming too, which leads to a whole other topic right next to the driverless trucks, is that you're going to end up, the people who are driving are the ones that are the problem, not the computer.

Oh, yeah. I mean, one of the things, people often say, well, you know, these are really difficult things. I don't know how computers can be smart enough. Humans are terrible drivers. We are awful drivers, you know. We kill, I mean, you know, the number of accidents on the U.S. is going up. It went up 25% in the last couple of it.

40,000 people killed. We're terrible drivers. It's not going to be that hard for computers to be better than we are. Right. And so we're the problem. So when, I mean, it won't take long before you're not going to be able to drive for sure inside a city, right, before inside the city limits. Well, at least you'll be paying a premium in your insurance because you'll be a riskier driver than the machines.

That's what are going to happen first. Big discounts if you use the machines. Right. So, anyway, once we get outside, I mean, there's so many places in the United States that still want to be able to drive. They're not going to want to give up their vehicles. So, I mean, at first we're talking about, as far as driverless commerce, and delivery trucks and, you know, you're talking about the metropolitan areas, because the people outside of the metropolitan areas, they're not going to want to give up

their pickup truck. They're just not going to want to. I mean, I don't want to. Well, I think a lot of us like driving. I think it's ultimately, it'll be economics, first of all. I mean, insurance rates will change. And then people will, you know, there'll be a new way of looking at this. I mean, for example, if you can get into your pickup and you can still drink, you know.

Right. And you can watch a movie, you know, I mean, the content's going to change. I'm all for that. I mean, I worked in Manhattan for a while and lived in Pennsylvania. I took the train in and out of the city every day. And while the train ride itself gets kind of agonizing, I got a lot of work done on the train. I mean, when we moved, when we moved the company to Texas, I had to change the whole focus of how I worked, because while I drive to work, that took work time away.

It's enormous amounts of time spent commuting, you know. And it's going to shift. Now, of course, maybe there'll be also some new jobs to make up for these jobs, and maybe we'll get used to this new way of working. But, I mean, insurance rates are going to go down. There'll be far fewer jobs, for example, for people in emergency medicine, because there were fewer casualties, you know. I mean, insurance agents, I mean, there are millions of insurance agents.

I mean, retail insurance will basically be over because this will be fleet-based and so on. I mean, you know, and what worries me most? I mean, I think some of the changes will be wonderful. But why is no one up there in the top end of government actually even, talking about these things and what they're going to mean for us. Well, do you think that they will end up, and I'm talking to Nigel Cameron, by the way, author of Will Robots Take Your Job? Do you think that maybe that by not talking about it, they just believe that, hey, we're just

going to give everybody a men come and they can just shut up? Well, that's an interesting point. And interestingly, I mean, people have been arguing this from the right as well as the left for a long time now. The most interesting thing recently was Charles Murray, you know, his big concern. conservative intellectual, made a speech at the American Enterprise Institute, you know, top sort of of pro-business think tank, printed it in the Wall Street Journal. And he says, you know, we're going to have to think about a universal income. So we basically pay people whether they work or not.

I'm not sure whether that's going to happen. I mean, I think there are other ways we could do this, for example, reducing retirement ages. But it's certainly a real possibility. There'll be fewer jobs. I mean, we've had for a long time, you know, what we call full employment. That basically means anybody who really wants a job can usually get one. That's really what it means. if that ends, we end up with a huge, huge new kind of problem, which is people who really want jobs and are hardworking and want to get jobs, and they're not going to be able to get them. The government isn't even talking about it. Right. And that's where we're talking about, now that while the income would be, you know, I guess if we're talking about, okay, saying the men come is a good thing. It's a good thing if you take away all the other help that the government provides. You know, so you say, you know, we'll give everybody. You can still work and you can still do it. you want. We're going to give you so much a month to, this is what we believe you can survive on,

and we're going to give you so much a month, but all the other help goes away. People have argued for universal income from both ends of a spectrum. That's the conservative view of it. It doesn't cost us any more money. We just take all the benefits and we divide them all up. And that's the kind of thing that people like Murray want. From the progressive end, it's more we need to add new benefits. And of course, one of the things we just don't know is whether all these robot AI stuff will produce far more money, whether ultimately these will be highly profitable things that produce, you know, much bigger tax income for government and so on, so there's more to go around. We just don't know that. Well, I mean, that's why... We have to plan as if that's not

going to happen, and that the pie remains the same size. Well, that's what, I mean, Gates was talking about taxing the robots, right? That's what he believes, as long as they're going to create more income than we tax them, so we have more tax revenue from that. It's an interesting argument, because basically, I mean, what governments do, I mean, you know, we all agree there have to be some sort of tax for something and government's basically tax where value is I don't know that I want to agree with that I don't know that I want to agree with that Nigel but you go ahead you know the government tax where you add value and if you take away a worker and put in a machine and you were taxing the worker previously it makes sense to tax the machine that's Gates of you I'm not I'm not sure

whether he's right but at least he's putting ideas out there and boy do we eat ideas absolutely where do you see where do you see us where you see us at in five years then 10 years then 15 years. The next five, you know, we'll triple it out. Five, ten, fifteen. Well, I think in five years' time, this is going to be a really hard issue. And politicians and other sort of civic leaders who've thought about it will have a big advantage because they find something to say about it. I think in ten years' time, we're certainly going to be seeing some self-driving trucks and that kind of stuff really happening, a lot more automation in the home, you know, smart homes, systems controlling all your heating and all that kind of stuff.

That's going to be the norm. It almost is now, really. I mean, I, I, I, It almost is now, really. I mean, I guess maybe in the, you know, the masses around the country doesn't have it. But, boy, so many municipalities sure have it. I mean, if you're living in any kind of a city, you have access to so much, so many things like that that it's made life pretty good. I think a lot of things have been creeping up on us, and they're going to come together in much more obvious ways. Some people find exciting. Some will find challenging and will certainly be very disruptive to be.

business because this is going to make big changes in the way in which pretty much everything in the economy operates. I mean, you know, one of the interesting stories recently is, you know, John Deere, you know, the fights with John Deere tractors because, I mean, they're now basically laden down with computer software. Right. I mean, you can, you see the, I love the fields when you go to, you know, Idaho or Utah or Montana, wherever the giant fields are and you have the John Deer tractors, and you see the fields

actually plowed in certain geometric forms. That's all computer, man. That's all GPS. It maps out. We can use this much ground, and it goes. It's beautiful. It's amazing. The accuracy that they have now,

and the big fights on now because John Deer, the farmers can't fix their own tractors because basically all the stuff owned by the company. So they're hacking. They're getting stuff from the Ukraine to hack into their systems. I mean, this is not farming like our grandparents farmed. but now okay so all right let's say they're doing that wouldn't it be better for john dear just to say hey we're now hiring people to fix these and we'll send them out to your farm so that's creating

new jobs right well it is and of course that they mean that what they we're always going to have criminals there's always going to be people trying to hack and get in and i get and whenever you have disruption you have change people look for new ways they look for workarounds um but i think one of the things it illustrates is just how dramatic this is i mean nothing was more traditional a generation ago. And now it really is on the cutting edge of these new AI technologies. And this is going to happen to every single occupation in the country. I mean, it already is, right?

I mean, we're talking about robots doing lung surgery. I saw a headline last night talking about the robotics of lung cancer surgery, how it makes it so much, how it's going to make it so much easier. I mean, we're creating robotic legs for paralyzed people. I mean, that's the good side. Right? I mean, that's the good side. We're extending life.

But on the other hand, we're extending life to do what? To sit in a room and wish they had a job? Well, I mean, this is the point. It isn't just people like drivers. I mean, if it's going to be lung surgeons, you know, what are they going to do with themselves. I mean, I think this is what's really interesting about this. It's right across the economy.

It's top to bottom. This isn't just certain kinds of jobs. Everything's going to get easier and cheaper and smarter and therefore require less human effort. All right, so 10 years? I think, I think 10 years, this is, no, this is going to have arrived. This is going to be a huge issue.

And I just don't know how it's going to happen to our politics, because, I mean, I don't know whether this is a GOPSU, whether it's a damn issue. It's right across the board. It's a new kind of issue. It doesn't really fit left and right. This doesn't pro-tech, it's ultimately how we have an economy in which sort of jobs are people to do.

And I don't want to, you know, I don't want to talk about, you know, the one-world order, but it's really a global thing. I mean, while the United States can say, hey, we've stopped work on computers of these particular AI robots because they started to create their own language. That doesn't mean that Japan stop and work on those. It's a huge problem, and the point is it's a global competitive environment. I think one of the interesting things, though, is going to be its countries that really put all the pieces together that will really do well. People are concerned about the human end of this, about people need jobs, they want something to do with themselves all day long.

It's not just going to be people who go all up for technology who are going to win. And I think this is a terrific opportunity for us to think more about how we want to put the pieces together. So we automate all we want to automate. But we leave things for people to do, and we leave an environment in which ultimately is about people. I mean, technology is all about people. People aren't all about technology. And I think if we get that right way round, I think this gives us economic competitiveness, quite apart from anything else. I'm going to leave it at that.

I love that. It was optimistic. It was beautiful. I like the way that sounded. Nigel Cameron, author of Will Robots, Take Your Job. Thank you so much for your time, sir. I appreciate it. Appreciate it. Great to talk.

You too. Nigel Cameron. Will robots take your job? Now, basically what he said is we're all doomed. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. 9-033-9303. It's not the Jeff Fisher Show.

It's the Jeff Fisher program on the Blaze Radio Network. Thanks for coming along for the ride. So we talked to Nigel Cameron. Will robots take your job? Fascinating. We kind of, you know, we kind of, you know, broad-strokeed, everything with Nigel. Maybe we'll have them back and dig a little bit deeper because, my gosh, we could take

another, peel another layer off the onion. Because you look at, I mean, I've got a stack of just homemade robots crack safe in just 30 minutes. Artificial intelligence, no longer just a sci-fi fantasy, says AT&T. I mean, AT&T is using their surface. You know, some of our new globalist rulers like Elon Musk, he believes that it's the end of times. They have robot soccer tournaments and you think, well, what good is that? It really wasn't that good, but it will be its practice, getting them to set up to feed off of each other, right?

Russia unveils new weapon to protect England fans from hooligans. During the World Cup, they're going to have four foot tall robots roaming the crowds as security, right? A robot priest, they've got granting auto blessings. They've got robots playing a piano concerto with another Europeanist, right? The Navy has got the Navy, just the military across the board is using robots to fight wars. We'll be having sex with robots in the next 10 years. Some of us may be already doing that. Wait, did I say that out loud?

And of course, Facebook, my favorite story where they talked about shutting down the AI. We had to shut down the AI because they created a special language and we didn't want them to keep talking without us knowing what they were saying. But it was like the next day, maybe even the same day they bought another AI startup. You know, just because that's what they do. It's what they do. But I found it fascinating that no one is really dealing with the issue. And somebody better deal with it soon because it's coming. And some would say that it's already here.

And if you think that you are impervious to this, good luck. Good luck. Because you ain't. And neither am I. And neither are our children. And I don't know that I have any of the answers except for maybe we think about making sure our children are able to adapt and overcome and change and not get locked in like we did. I mean, when I was a kid, guys worked at, you know, Saginaw steering gear for 20 years or 25 years and retired to a cottage. on a small lake of Michigan.

That's what you did. I knew I was never going to do that and never will. So things change like that all the time. It's time to be prepared. Be prepared for it. The future of AI. The Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network.

The Blaze Radio Network. Welcome to it. 888-9033 is the phone number. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. this is the Saturday lineup on the Blaze Radio Network myself immediately following this broadcast

Lawrence Jones Mike Slater Joe Pags why go anywhere else on a Saturday and then before me is Opelca Mike O'Pelca

he's on from 6 to 9 Eastern on the Blaze Radio Network Michael Pelke I got to remember that name I don't know why I keep forgetting that stupid name Opelca Mike Opelca You know, funny, he's on every day on the Blaze Radio Network, too, Monday through Friday. And you think I'd remember his name, but for the life of me, I can't.

Because Monday through Friday, you've got Doc Thompson on in the morning, and then you've got Glenn Beck, and then you've got Mike O'Belke. I don't remember his name. And then Chris Salcedo and Pat and Stu, Buck Sexton, There's no way. You need not go anywhere else. Sundays, you got Jackie Daly shows kicking off Sunday morning into David Barton, Bill Handel, Yard Brooks. I mean, if you were to say go someplace else instead of the Blaze Radio Network, you would come back and you would ask yourself, why did I do that?

So instead of asking yourself, why did I do that? Just don't do it. It's a helpful tip for me. So my kids last night here in the Metroplex, Queen was playing. Queen with Adam Lambert, pretending to be Freddie Mercury. I wasn't pretending to be Freddie Mercury.

Adam Lambert, I was just singing their songs. Okay. And boy, you know, I really wanted to kind of go. And my son really wanted to go because he's really big in the Queen these days. And, you know, he's a 15-year-old. He loves Queen. Get off me. I don't care.

He went to Metallica earlier this year too, so, I mean, he's just broadening his horizons. But they wanted to go. Now, I thought, you know what, I'll take the kids. Because a lot of times they're running around the house, joking around singing Queen songs. And, you know, we're laughing, having a good time. So I thought, yeah, you know,

you can watch the Freddie Mercury concerts and get the feel. But, you know, we'll go to, you know, I'll take him to it. Well, like $86 bucks a ticket. 86 bucks a ticket to see Adam Lambert and Queen? No, thank you. And you got to park. And then, you know, I mean, you're going to tell the kids,

no, you can't have a soda? I mean, you could, but I feel bad, then I have one and they don't. So I end up having to buy them one. And so you're looking at, you know, more than over $200, $300 to $300 for a Friday night to see Queen? No, thank you. No.

I can spend my $200, $300 on something else. You know, should we have gone? Probably. That's the way they make. their money in today's world. I get it. I mean, Donald Fagan. Donald Fagan. A musical icon. Steely Dan, right? He's on his own stuff. He's who is 69 years old. 69 years old. Donald Fagan. Anyway, he's back on tour. I mean, this guy's a rock, a legend, and he's back on tour. And he's, why is he back on tour? Because he can't.

make any money selling albums. Can't do it. Doesn't make any money. The only way they make money is on tour. He said when the bottom fell out of the record business years ago, it deprived me of the luxury of earning a living from records. I don't sell enough albums to cover the cost of recording them the way I like to. For me, touring is the only way to make a living. Okay. And they're all They're all that way now, right? I mean, you get the streaming. You want to be able to, you know, you want to be able to spend $10 a month

and stream whatever song you want. Or you want to be able to stream whatever song you want for free. I hate people like that. Just want to listen. I just want to type in a song and have a play for you on your computer without paying anything.

I mean, that's great, right? I mean, that's such a great thing in today's world, man. You want to hear a song? you type it in and there it is there it is someone has put it in the computer system for you to hear whether it's bill from kansas who took a picture of the steely dan album and then recorded the song onto his computer and uploaded it to youtube and you get to listen to it and it says man that's not the crappy recording okay well find a better recording there's probably 80 others

I mean, it's amazing times. But Donald Fagan didn't get any of that money. He got the money from the Kansas guy who bought the album. That's it. The rest of us are all freeloaders. So when you see all these old rock guys on tour, man, you have to go see him. So I apologize to Queen.

I apologize to Adam Lambert and Queen. My apologies from the bottom of my heart. I should have spent my money to go and see you so that at least you could make some money. I want you to know that it hurts me now that I think about it. It hurts me. This is going to, this story. You remember Ronnie James Dio, Black Sabbath?

All right. Now, he's the former Black Sabbath frontman. He died of stomach cancer in 2010. Now, his family, the wife, Wendy Dio, who's probably thinking, I've got to maintain a lifestyle that I've become accustomed to. And with Ronnie Dad, it's been seven years

and I've blown through this man. There's no more income. I've blown through this money and they're going to take this place and I kind of like this house. I don't know that that's happening. I'm just guessing. What does she do? I mean, it's kind of genius.

Right? He's going to be going on tour as a hologram. Oh, that is fantastic. A 100, an entire 100 concert world tour will feature holographic display of her deceased husband as a live band plays in tune

with his archival recordings. You know, it gives the fans that saw Ronnie perform an opportunity to see him again. Yeah, and I bet that those millions on that tour isn't going to hurt either, is it? Wendy. No. But genius idea.

I mean, come on. You thought, who was the first, I guess maybe, that. No, why, Tupac? Maybe.

I mean, yeah, well, with the hologram. Yeah, that's probably true. Because I was thinking that, Natalie Cole was the first one that,

you know, was still milking her dad for money, right? Because she had the big video, the big scene where she was singing to duet with his dad. And that was long. since dead. Right?

I mean, that legend, hello. I mean, who's not going to, who doesn't love Nat King Cole? If you raise your hand, you're dead to me.

Don't raise your hand telling me that King Cole is dead to you. Don't do it. This is the same guy. The same guy. Bad Mouth and Don Hall earlier today. Same guy

is going to raise his hand on Nat King Cole in this room. My Saturday producer. My Saturday producer telling me earlier in here, Oh, I was making fun. Somebody mentioned Don Ho, and I was like, Who's Don Ho?

Okay, that pisses me out, first of all. If you don't know who Don Ho is, look it up because you should, all right? And Don Ho is a legend. He's a Hawaiian legend. If you know anything about music, you know Don Ho. So don't raise your hand about that, get cold. Don't do it.

Don't do it. Because that will, holy crap, that will make me that. tell me you never heard tiny bubbles Don Ho, tiny bubbles Tell me the truth Tiny bubbles Is the wise

Come on It's Don Ho! Holy! You are so close to being out of a job Holy crap You better by set next week I better hear Don Ho blast it out of that room You know that was my mother who's been dead now For several years. That was her favorite song

Now you brought that memory back to me You better be down at home better be blasting out of that room next week, okay? Or you're gone over my mother. One of my mother's favorite lines when she was at a wedding reception and the guy was setting up to be the DJ at the reception, and she came up and asked the guy if he had tiny bubbles. And he said, no, but I've got some gas. And that was one of her.

Anyway, that's a little joke there. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. So what, that Don Ho has been dead for 10 years. Doesn't he have a son, though, that goes around pretending to be Don Ho on the islands now? Look it up. The whole family. Mom, Pa Ho, and the whole family.

I think his son tries to go around singing Don Ho songs and stuff around the islands and still tries to milk off Dad's fame. Pretty sure, I bet you that's right. I mean, I guess I could be wrong. But there's got to be Don Ho. I mean, as long as if you're in Hawaii, there's going to be Don Ho impersonators. You're there. That's what you do.

I mean, if I'm in Hawaii, I'm either impersonating the, who's the giant? He's dead now, too. Who's the extra fat guy that's saying somewhere over the rainbow? No, not Judy Garland, although she's dead too. But the guy from Hawaii, I don't remember his name, but he's been, his song was in a bunch of movies somewhere over the rainbow. and he was this extra overweight person. And he's, you know, he's dead now too. So you're either going to pretend to be him or Don Ho if you're living in Hawaii.

That's who you, that's who you, him, or maybe you pretend to be Steve McGarritt for 5-0. That's it. That's all you know, that's all you need to know about Hawaii. Oh, you got Tom Selleck too. That's right. I forgot about Tom Selleck. You got him.

So you either got, you got him, you got the overweight guy. I singing somewhere over the rainbow. Did you remember his name? Not all jobs are going to be done by robots. If you're looking for a job, call 88-90-3-33-93. Because there may be an opening soon. So Bill Murray, I am a big fan of Bill Murray. He's always have been.

This is one guy I've never met, and I would like to meet Bill Murray. And I know that he's, you know, he's one of those characters that doesn't have email. He has a toll-free number that you call and leave a message. and sooner or later he gets back to you, he calls you back, and he just travels around. He shows up places. Like you're at a bar and look up and hey, there's Bill Murray. So there's another brand new story out of Michigan

that Bill Murray said he was in Bay City, Michigan, and he loves the people in Bay City, Michigan. He said he had car problems in Bay City. We were leaving Bay City, and we overheated, and it was kind of the road. People stopped. Got him a tow truck. Took them to get some food while they're waiting for the car to get fixed.

Took them to someplace on Saginaw Street. A great burger. They had no idea who I was either, which made my day, honestly. People in Bay City are the real deal. Now, let me add that I grew up in Saginaw, Michigan. Saginaw Bay City and Midland are the Tri-Cities in Michigan. right there. If you look at Michigan,

if you hold up your right hand, that's Michigan. Sagina Bay City would be right where your thumb, the bay, that's the bay, where your thumb meets your first pointer finger, that's down at the bottom, that's where Saginaw, basically. That's my geography lesson for you in today's world.

And, you know, I've got, I know a few people in Bay City and spend a little time in Bay City and good for them. But Bill, if you want to show up, I mean, here. I would love, I'll pretend I don't know you if you want. If it makes you feel better.

I'll pretend I don't know you. And then we'll go out and we'll hang out. I'll buy you a burger. I mean, what the hell? You're Bill Murray, right? Oh, wait, I don't know you're Bill Murray. I mean, you're a good guy. I mean, Bill's had a great life.

I mean, Bill's, 66, the 60s now? Jeez. You know what's been, I was looking at a story. A couple weeks, the 16th, of this month, it'll be 40 years since the death of Elvis Presley. 40 years since Elvis Presley's died. Not one bad word about Elvis from you in the other room. Not one.

I will have use. You'll be out of here. Faster than someone can take out the trash. You can start bad nothing, Elvis. I'll tell you that right now. That would be trouble right here in River City. I mean, you want to talk about, you want to talk about ball, have a ball of zero to me, to me, to me.

This is the Jeff Fisher Show only on the Blaze Radio Network. The experiment was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program now. Stand clear. Signs stable. It's alive. Set it loose. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio, Network. I get myself

and a bubble in a while. Oh, yeah. Psychology researchers from Michigan State University and the University of Michigan conducted a study

to determine if self-talk could reduce anxiety. You should talk to yourself. It'll make you feel better. Did you know that? Have you ever known anyone that actually talk to themselves?

Like, I mean, obviously, I, if you count talking to yourself like, I've got to do this story and I'm going to lay this story out and I want to talk about that. Oh, yeah, and I can't forget to talk to you about that. And I'm trying to, you know, get myself straight in my head what, what, you know, what I want to share with you. But I actually have been in familiar territory with humans who talk to themselves. And I mean, arms flailing.

I can't take it. tell me to this, this, I don't know, I've got to do this. I mean, it's kind of a strange little thing. However, however, according to this study, subjects were shown disturbing images such as a man holding a gun to their heads. Then they were asked to respond to the pictures in first person, third person as their brain activity was being involved. For the second one, they were asked to recall traumatic experience in their first person and then in third person. And the brain activity was reviewed. In both cases, they found that participants displayed less brain.

activity in the region most associated with storing emotional experiences when speaking in the third person. So speak in the third person, talk to yourself, make it all better. Make it all better, okay? That helps people gain a tiny bit of psychological distance from their experiences, which can often be useful for regulating emotions. Isn't that special? Welcome to the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network 888-903-33 is the phone

You follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA, Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, Instagram, JeffEMRA. Go to the blaze.com, click on the channels button. Look for Jeffrey Fisher. Click on that. Follow me there. You'll be alerted with new stories goes up, new stories from this show. And I do a few other little tidbits once in a while and throw it up on the Blaze channel, just for your entertainment. And then I come back.

I left the room for a little bit because the building. is quite possibly turning into the surface of the sun since all the air conditioners are turned off. And so I'm trying to get a couple of... Try to get... Go to the blow is... Try to get some AC turned on. And while it seems to be stuck

on the off position and won't go to the on position, but I had left the studio for a few moments. And I come back and I've got the 800 number to Bill Murray in front of me. Nice. Thank you. Don't try to suck up now. Don't try to suck up now.

Don't try to suck up now. Like Mr. He's really pissed to me about the Don't-ho thing. I'll get him the Bill Murray number. Don't. Don't try to suck up to me with that. Okay? I mean, it worked.

It did work, but don't. Don't. Because I'm going to be calling Bill here today. Saying hello and seeing if, you know, maybe the next time he's in Dallas, we can hook up. I'd love to hang out with Bill Murray. Love it. So we talked earlier about robots taking jobs.

And you know that. that robots are going to be taking jobs from you as far as planetary protection officer. But as of right now, they still want humans. NASA is willing to pay you up to $187,000 a year to defend Earth from aliens. Come on! That's a good gig. I would love to have the special badge, man. The planetary protection officer, PPO.

I'm calling the planetary protection officers. They defend Earth and the cosmos from alien contamination. This following the Outer Space Treaty of 1967. No. I mean, nice. Planetary Protection Officer. Now the salary ranges from $124,000 to $187,000. So the creation of a lot of,000.

of the position stems from the Outer Space Treaty, which demands nations and parties exploring space, adopt appropriate coverage to handle adverse changes in the environment of the Earth resulting from the introduction of extraterrestrial matter. The agreement requires space missions to have less than one in 10,000 chance of contaminating another planet. Yeah, good luck with that. But I was wondering if, you know, if you have to wear a special suit, I might be out. because they probably don't have the fat guy suit.

I'm a little disappointed about that. NASA's always got the, if you see the guys in the space shuttle, and when they're flying up and they're going into space, going to the space house that we just fly up and take trash from and come back and leave people up there, and now we're letting SpaceX do it, so thank you. I'm all about that.

We should have not been paying for trash pickup at the space station. that's all we were doing there's more food and give us your trash and then we'll go back to Earth that should all be private even if we have to deal with I mean you know who runs the trash departments yeah even in space

that's why you need to have the planetary protection officer but anyway you see those astronauts taking off in the shuttle and I mean they are that's a tight squeeze there there's no room for a guy like me

there's no room for a guy like me at all they'll be like nope it's like getting on a roller coaster you know where they have the roller coaster has the fat guy seat up front but it really isn't really it's like a designer fat guy seat and if you've ever sat in that seat

and want to feel good about yourself you're not going to make that happen because what happens is they set you down and they go you know this is the big guy seat and they pull the thing up over your shoulders and your head like that, and it won't fit, just right? So the kid, you know, the 15-year-old kid

that's working the ride, leads back, puts his foot up on it, it just jams it, locks it shit. We're up. You locked in? Yes, I locked it. I'm good. I'm ready to have fun on the ride.

We're good here. That's a tight screen. Bro. The last one I was out of it, I almost said just could just, Go ahead and out hook it. I don't know that I want to go on the full ride. And then it started.

That bad boy gets tight now. And I'm not sure if it's the seat or me that made it tight. Figure that one out. But that's what it'd be like at the space show. In the space show. You'd see the other two astronauts all squeezed into one little corner. Oh, we're fine. Don't worry about that one big fat guy in the corner.

There's three of us in here. That's, anything for a planetary protection officer, though. I'm all ready for that. Hello, space alien. I'm the planetary protection officer of Earth. Stop. You cannot enter our atmosphere.

Yeah, that'll work. That will work. Now, you want to talk about a scam. And I should, I shouldn't call it a scam because I don't know that it's a scam. But you know how you can, and buy stars. Genius.

Genius. Okay. We'll sell you a star in your name. They send you a piece of paper that says that star. That is so good. Why did I think of that? That's a million dollar idea. Sell people.

We'll name a star after you. That star at point dot 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 is Bill. and the star at point 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3 is Sarah. I mean, that's genius. Genius. Well, now,

for $12,500, only $12,500, so, I mean, we're, I'm making a deal with you here, okay? You can, you can send your ashes to the moon, or you can hold a spot for a, you know, a cemetery,

plot. Have we sold lots of land to the moon? Do we actually do that? Come on. I mean, that's a good gig right there. We're going to just start sending. We'll send grandpa's body burn dust up to the moon. Now, he won't be buried. We're just going to go up to the moon and throw the dust out. It'll be just part of the moon. And it's only going to cost you $12,000. That's good stuff. Now, you're just, you're You can send the gram to your cremated remains. Oh, you can blast it onto the moon or have them shot out into deep space. Costs about $5,000 for a burial in low Earth orbit. Just climb to a mountain and have somebody throw you up in the air.

Throw your dust up in the air is about the same as that. I'll do that for you for $5,000. I'll tell you what, for $5,000, I'll fly a helicopter anywhere on Earth and just throw your dust out the helicopter. That's a low-earth orbit. This is a good scam. Argos funeral services provide more personalized space burials. Argos became the first funeral provider to score permission from the California Department of Public Health

to send cremated remains to space on the first privately funded lunar mission led by Moon Express. I mean, you cut a deal with SpaceX, right? Moon Express cuts a deal with SpaceX. They buy a four by four section of SpaceX, right? You buy a four foot section on SpaceX for your box. They fly you up to the space station. You know, they're dropping out of some food, picking up some trash. And then for, you know, a million bucks,

they've got a box full of, a box full of human remains that they got to kick out. and they just throw it out into space so that you have your low orbit. What's it called? Hold on. I got to make sure. Your low Earth orbit burial. I mean, come on. That's a good gig. I don't know that you can cover it, though, because SpaceX, I mean, I'm sure that Elon is going to charge you a pretty penny for, you know, a spot on SpaceX. So you're going to have to get quite a few.

of them. Quite a few of them. But if you've got people talked into it, man. Wow. So a small portion of the customer's ashes will join dozens of others on a rocket ship that blasts

off from New Zealand late this year or early next year destined for the moon. A robotic lunar lander built by Moon Express will carry the ashes and DNA and DNA to the surface. along with science projects designed to test Albert Einstein's general relativity of theory

and to create a better map of the moon. Now, you realize that the moon is just the moon, right? We've been there. Dirt. It's another planet. Argos and Celestis are selling space burials to anyone who ever long to travel in space or stepped outside on a starry night and felt at home. It's not all that different from scattering ashes at sea.

everybody dies so it's a huge market yeah that's the fact right there nothing true was said from that guy everybody dies so it's a huge market look I can say in this casket for eight grand but you know for another four I can shoot your ass on the moon oh okay

you know your dad always told me he might not have written it down in his will but your dad always told me he wanted to, you know, go to the moon. So this is a way for you to give him his dream. By paying me $13,000. Now, you know what's going to happen, too? Feel it, Ka. I don't want it to happen.

Maybe we should talk to these people. Oh, we should talk to these Nickelberries and see exactly what they're doing. I mean, they've got Seattle Space Flight Industries, they've got California. They're blasting off from New Zealand. We're going to find out more. about this. I've got to talk to these people. I want to see what kind of, I want to see what kind

of thing they've got cooked, because you know what's going to happen. I mean, I can feel it. I can feel it. The headline next year. Low orbit, what's it called? Low orbit space burials found to just be dumping dust in the middle of the desert here on earth lying to the people. They'll be convicted of fraud. But tell people, oh, no, we're not. We're not. We're not. We're sent him to the, we sent Uncle Bill to the moon. Uh-huh. That truck that drove through the desert that dust was flying out of. What was that?

Nothing. The rocket never left Earth. I know, but he still went to the moon. We made it go to the moon. Really? We did. Oh, we've got to talk to these people. This is, I have to invest in this company.

Are you kidding me? Ashes, okay. Signing was when legendary geologists Eugene Schuemakers' ashes were shot onto the moon's surface in the summer of 1999. So we've already got human dust up there on the moon. The discoveries are one of the things part of that, moon cemeteries. We've got to invest in this. I am telling you, here at the Jeff Fisher radio show, we have got to invest in moon cemetery plots.

I mean, that's a million-dollar idea. These people are way ahead of us. I am disappointed. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blasier. Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. All right, first I want to apologize. It was brought to my attention that I was

incorrect about the moon and I, you know, when I said it, I thought, I don't think that's right when I said about the moon because I inadvertently said that the moon was just dirt, moon dirt, and I apologize because everyone knows the moon is made out of cheese.

I apologize. So if you wish to, have your bone duff, spread on the moon over the cheese. It only costs you $13,000. We are going to find out more about that scam, I'm telling you. Also, another million dollar idea that I had, moi had years ago.

I see an article about this company, Granny Pods, now allow your aging parents to live in your backyard. Granny Pods. Are you kidding me? I talked about having those pods that you could get, you drop them off in your driveway. hook up a hose to them for your bathrooms, and you've got an extra room for people to stay in for the holidays,

like a hotel room. Pods. The visitor pods, hotel pods, call them whatever you want. That was my idea. Now being used, a million dollar idea. You're welcome. You're welcome for a little. You don't have to give me any credit for it.

It's fine. Don't worry about it. I'm okay with it. You're welcome. All right. Now, they want a lot of money for these granny pods. I mean, a lot of money. I believe that you could, if you wanted to just make one yourself and start renting it out,

you could do it for a lot cheaper. Would you drop off a pod in the driveway for a week? A, it will be comfortable enough so that it looks like you're providing a space for relatives to stay in. B, it will be uncomfortable enough for them to say, we can only stay the few days and then we have to go. So everybody wins. They get a place to stay and they want to leave. Nice enough to have a roof, bad enough not to want to stay there forever.

You're welcome. That's all I'm saying, you're welcome. All right, so we've got a lot. I've got another couple of great stories for you that are happy with, but one of the things that is coming to America soon that's happening now in the UK, is they have egg vending machines. You think to yourself, what do you want to get from a vending machine?

What's the first thing that pops into your mind? Eggs, of course. The Cabbage House Farm is relying on the goodwill of customers to pay the correct amount for the eggs because they had too many people stealing eggs. So they wanted to put the eggs in a vending machine and they're charging for it. That's good stuff.

What they need to start doing is having the raw eggs. for you to purchase in the vending machine, and then have some, you know, the daily hard-boiled egg, you know, that sells for your lunch. That's your lunch, right? The hard-boiled egg. I know. I know.

Look, look, these ideas just come to me, okay? I can't stop it. I wish I could, but it's just there. All of these, these million-dollar ideas just come to me like this. I mean, you see a story on egg vending machines installed at a farm to attack, thieves. I see an egg vending machine and think to myself, hey, let's hardboil some and have some food. I know. I know. It's just, you know, the way things are. I can't help it. Look, there's no off switch on Genius. The Jeff Fisher Show, the Blaze Radio Network.

The Jeff Fisher Show. 8903-33 is the phone number. Welcome to it. Lawrence Jones, standing by in the sweat box. That is Mercury Studios today. Of course, there is the surface of the sun in Texas. But there's not an issue in this room. If there was an issue in this room, you would have heard about it. This room is comfortable. Now, I could open the sliding glass door a little bit

and let some of the air out, maybe, you know, cool down a little bit of the area next door. I could do that. But, plus it will never reach that other room, so it's just wasted. I can't waste it. be used in this room. I mean, it's almost like, you know, when you go shopping, let's use, just go grocery shopping

because that's the main store where you use a shopping cart and you unload your groceries. And then you do what with the shopping cart? What do you do? Do you leave it? Do you push it in the next, in the next parking area and just walk away? Do you push it up on a curb half and half and walk away? Or do you take it back to the cart receptacle? Some cart receptacles are wide for two or three rows.

Some are short for single rows. What do you do with it? Now, so I read an article, what returning your shopping cart says about you. Now, I believe this guy's trying to be a little funny. But he's right. I realized, according to him, he realized there are two different people in this world. Cart returners and cart deserters.

Both say a lot about you. I would add a third to that. There's the cart returners. There's the cart deserters. And then I'm not sure what we call the cart erratics, or I'm not sure what we call it, but there's the cart person who feels like they want to return it, but they don't want to walk all the way over to the receptacle, so they just push it as hard as they can toward the receptacle,

and wherever it lands, it lands. Yes, those are the cart half-assers. Yes, that's exactly. I'll go with that. I like that. Because we've seen them. Now, there are several times that I know that I could make it. Now, that's a little game in my head,

where I say, ooh, the receptacles right there, and no problem. and go as hard as you can, but I do follow through. So if it were not to go into the receptacle, which never happens. If it were not to go into the receptacle, I would go after it and put it in. But again, that's not going to happen under my watch. I return them. I do return them.

It drives me, the reason I return them is because, look, how much do I hate not being able to pull into a parking spot? because of a shopping cart left, have them blowing around a parking lot when it's windy and they're blowing around, they're loose. I just, how much, I see them half and half up on the curb of a parking area, you know, somebody, or they just leave it next to it.

It just drives me crazy. So it's, I feel bad about being angry at those people. people if I don't follow through on my end. So I take them back. Now I, at one time, for a time of my life, worked for a grocery chain. And part of my job when I first started, of course, is carts. So no matter what you're doing in the store when you hear the manager,

carts, you know, that you've got a hops thing, your boozy butt outside and go get the carts. Now, in today's world, some of the bigger stores, the bigger box stores, they've got the cart machines. I would have killed humans for that machine. I mean, our part of our deal was to see how many we could actually push in from the parking lot and get them into the door and into their slots inside the store. Because that takes them doing. Because there's only, you might be able to push a straight line of however many cards. I really don't remember how many what the record was. I can tell you that I was the record holder.

But I don't remember exactly what it was. But the trick, the record of being able to push a row of carts up to the door is one thing. The record of being able to push the carts up and in the door. is something else. Because you've got to get that. You've got to get the turn right. You've got to keep the momentum going forward. You've got to get the turn right.

And then you've got to reach a certain point where you swing the line back because you don't want to hit the other side of the doorway. And then you've got to keep the momentum still going forward. I mean, it could be a sport. I was to say it could be possible. But then they ruined it with robotics. Those bastards. They brought in a robot card pusher.

Those bastards. Still takes a human, though, with the remote control. Beep. Wait till that job ends. Those robots will be pushing 8,000 carts in. But they won't need to because every time a cart gets left out there, a robot will be standing by to push it in. Huh?

Come on. That's a good gig. So he claims that there are hundreds of excuses for someone to leave their cart propped up on a grassy medium or left between parking spaces. Maybe they're in a hurry. It's raining. They're trying to escape dirty looks for getting there because their oversized truck is parked across two.

spaces, whatever the reason, there's one thing all these excuses have in common. It's all about them. We see that all the time, especially, I don't want to say Texas is any worse than any other place, but Texas is worse than any other place. Many people believe that the world is about them, and that's what they live on. And again, I don't want to say that Texas is any worse than any other place, but Texas is worse than another place. So why not take a step for it?

you disabled person with a cart, offer to return it for them. It's all about helping your neighbor. Successful people put others first instead of being wrapped up in things that benefit them. They look for ways to help and serve those around them. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want. So, I mean, I'm living large. If I help enough people get their shopping cart, I mean, that's, I'm living large.

Count on that. I mean, I'm living large. when it comes to money, the more giving you are, the more likely you are to make. And, you know, a lot of people poo-poo that, but this man gives you a good example. A hand that's closed tightly around money ensures that none leaves, but it also ensures no one can come in. An open hand allows money to come and leave freely. So think about that. Now, he claims that we've all been tempted to turn into the dark side.

Your child is screaming. The nearest cart receptacle is 10 parking spaces away. Can't I leave the cart here just this once? Again, this is where I have a problem because I want to just leave it there. I mean, I've already paid an extra amount of money for my groceries because they want to pay Bob Jr. to come out and get shopping carts. So let Bob Jr. get it. That's his job.

Because Bob knows when he hears carts, he hopsing his butt out there and get carts. Even if it's with the remote control machine that they can bring in 18 million cards. And they got it easy now, because most of those places have like garage doors that the machines or robots can just wheel in hundreds of cards in a row. It's not like the old days when we had to do it by hand.

I'll tell you that. When men were men, and grocery baggers were cart boys and cart boys were boys something like that so you just need to do the right thing know who you are what kind of person are you

are you a cart returner a cart deser or a what was it oh are you a cart are you a cart returner a cart deser or a cart half-asser which are you

you decide that drives me crazy those cards man that's one thing I seriously I don't know why it bothers me so much I really don't and it's been a long time since I've actually left a cart not in a cart receptacle

it just drives me crazy I mean it only takes a little bit of time to wheel that cart back to where the receptacle that they have for them. Just a little bit of time. And if you work smarter or not harder, perhaps when you're looking for a place to park,

you try to park close to a receptacle. So the walk isn't that far. Right? But we just leave it. I mean, how many times it's been busy, the store parking lot's busy, it's pretty full, and you see an open parking space, and you pull in, and there sits a shopping cart.

Because someone only cared about themselves, and didn't care about other people. That's worse than a cart half-assar. The cart deserters are worse than the cart half-assers. All right? I'll tell you that. Oh, man. I'm too bad.

I'm too bad to go on. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to the broadcast. This is the Jeff Fisher Radio Show on the Blaze. Radio Network. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. I appreciate it. Each and every Saturday here on the Blaze Radio Network. And then, of course, once in a while I speak up on the Glenn Beck Radio program and speak up once in a while

on the Pat and Stu Show on the Blaze Radio Network and the Blaze Television Network. So thank you again for coming along for the ride and joining us on whatever broadcast you grab the horns on and join. We love you for it. Thank you. A couple of things I wanted to get to. We talked about robots a lot. During this broadcast, we talked to the author, Nigel Cameron, about his book, Will Robots Take Your Job? And I'm going to be, I'd like to talk to Nigel again and get into a little bit more, dig in a little bit more, peel a couple more layers off that onion because we kind of broad-stroked it a little bit today. But there's so much to talk about and be concerned about that.

I just don't think it's being addressed as we get closer and closer. to more robotics doing more and more work. And it's all around us already, and it's only going to get worse or better, depending on how you look at it. And one of the things that they're doing now, I just read a story where scientists are precisely edit DNA in human embryos. And they're trying to fix a particular disease gene. So if we're at a point where we are editing DNA in human embryos, we're going to be able to live a lot longer. We've got, they've got robotics that are going in and doing lung cancer surgery,

that they can catch it faster and be more precise. So you're going to be, if you have some sort of disease, you're going to be able to get it fixed better from robotics. And then for those of you that want to have the perfect human being, you're going to be able to create the perfect human beings, or as close as we can get, by editing the DNA. So something, I mean, if you're going to have robots running everything,

something's going to have to be done because we're going to have, you know, 800-year-old people sitting around waiting for the government to pay them so that they can go to the grocery store and leave their damn shopping cart out. A lot. Yeah, you heard me. Yeah, that's right.

Now, be ready. Also, a story about Fox, getting ready to debut six-second TV ads. It should be fascinating. YouTube started this not long ago. And I mean, how Clear Channel did it 10 years ago with their adlets and their five second ads trying to get it in.

The problem that Clear Channel you did is that they were using these adlets and it was ad lit. So it was in addition to they figured, hey, you know, we can put 25, 26 minutes of ads into this 30 minute program. And if we could just add another five seconds,

we'll get more money. I mean, that's the way they were thinking. So if it's just going to be the ad itself, just a six-second ad and not, hey, here's 60 seconds, and then we're going to throw in an extra six-second ad. It might work out all right. And I hope it does. There's plenty of room for new ways to advertise.

And in fact, there may be some things to look forward to here on the Blaze Radio Network in the future. That's what you say, you say, my friend. I don't spoil anything. Don't quote me on anything, okay? And for those of you that want to send me more information anytime you can email me anytime, J-E-F-F-F-Y at Glenbeck.com. And I'll give you an example of some of the email that I already receive.

So, I mean, if there's more of this, feel free to send it to me because I want to be alerted when things like this happen. Okay. This is an email that came to me earlier this week. Space warning. Death Star heading towards Earth will end life with hail of space rocks. You've been warned. So just if you want to email me information

and warn us, warn myself and warn others, feel free to do so because we all want to be alerted. Don't forget about the AI language robots. Can't get enough of these days. Actually, it was just a male and female fighting. I can. I, I, I, I, everything else.

Balls have a ball to me, to me, to me, to me, to two. The man robot. I. Whatever. This is the Jeff Fisher show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
