This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Oh my. Hello. Oh, man, it seems like an eternity since we've been together. And yet, here we are. Hi, welcome to it. This is the Jeff Fisher show on the Blaze Radio Network. How in the world are you?

How have you been? Happy holidays. I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season. Me, all. Fantastic. If you followed me on Twitter at Jeffrey MRA, my Facebook page, Jeffrey Fisher, Instagram, Jeffrey Fisher, follow all the social media stuff.

You kind of know what the holidays were like. I mean, the house, you know, we talked a little bit about before we left what Christmas was used to be like, and now, you know, you've got to have the big tree and the decorations throughout the whole house and my wife and my father-in-law and the house all looking beautiful.

The kids wanted to the outside. I'm not doing the outside. Sorry, go look at the neighbors. Yep, they did it. That's fine. I have the Scrooge, no problem. it's okay not doing it not doing it because it's going to take someone that has to climb way up to the peak just look up for a second you're at wherever you're at just look up see that peak

i'm not doing that okay you can look down now i'm not doing that so get over it and you know the maximus was like well i'll climb up there and do it uh-huh look up there again wherever you I just look up there. See that peak up there? Uh-huh. You know how much trouble I get into when that kid falls off of that peak? No, you're not doing that. Not going to happen.

You can look down now again. So there was no outside lights at the Fisher household. But it was a great Christmas anyway. It was fantastic. We had a great time. And what can I tell you? It was fun. Did you do your resolutions?

Have you done your resolutions? Do you even do, does anyone actually do, you know, resolutions? I don't know. I don't know if they do or not. I mean, do you think to yourself, well, you know, you've got to do better, right? You got to do better in life. You've got to do better for the day. You got to maybe spend more time with your family.

Do you spend more time with the kids? Do you spend more time with each kid separately? Well, I went through some of the, you know, the top New Year resolutions on Twitter. And, you know, you get the usual. You're going to work out more. You got to be happier and lose waves. You got to stop smoking. Oh, that's something I've been struggling with, too.

And I know you and I talked a few months ago, and I stopped smoking. And I stopped. And then, you know what happens is you have one. You figure, you know, what the hell? And then you shouldn't do that. And you can just quote me on that, okay? You want to unplug. Do you want to be the best at whatever it is?

You want to stop drinking. You want to love myself. You want to work better. Who knows what you want to do? But what do you do? So the top ones are I never forget to eat your greens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some of them are kind of funny.

Others are eh. But everybody wants to have a better year, right? Absolutely. I hope you have a better year. matter what you do and no matter where you are no matter if you're in the sleet and rain and ice that i'm in right now if you're in that great if you're not good for you it's been way too cold i don't even care about the earthquakes i don't care if this ground and buildings are falling all over the place i have had it with the cold weather so whatever we did to tick off mother nature

fix it. All right? I'm sorry. I apologize on behalf of all. Make it warmer, please. Thank you, Mother Nature. I love you.

Now, I found this fascinating. You know, we all, everybody wants to, obviously, you know, that was part of the New Year's resolutions. We all want to lose way. We all want to go more. We all do better. Of course. But what does your body actually do? And some of the things, you know, look, I used to weigh almost 400 pounds.

I lost well over 100 pounds. You know, yeah, I gained about 30 back. I'm losing some more now. I'm feeling good. But what does your body actually do? And that's all thanks to simpleto-lose.com, by the way. Simple, the number two, lose.com. Not a sponsor of this program yet.

what will happen to your body in 2000 this year any year really your body i found this fascinating you're going to produce 91 gallons of saliva think about that you're going to roughly have 18 to 25 trillion of your cells will die you will expel about 135 gallons of urine. Your heartbeat is going to beat about 35 million times, if you're lucky. Your hair will grow roughly six inches, whatever amount of hair you have left on your head. Your fingernails are going to grow about one to one and a half inches. Really? I got to believe they'd grow a bit more than that. It seems to me I'm cutting fingernails longer than that, but I guess inches are quite a long way for fingernails.

It's going to shed about eight pounds of skin cells. So, man, when the wife says, hey, we've got to wash the sheets. Yeah, you do. They'll wash the sheets. You might even want to think about vac. I never thought about ever vacuuming the mattresses or anything, but it might be a thought. If you're losing that many skin cells and your blood, now, you know, we all know, we've got blood veins all over our body. So it's going to travel for almost four and a half billion.

miles through your body. Okay. That's if you don't cut yourself, a blood goes out. Whoa, what does it travel then? I don't know. A lot more. So it's just kind of fascinating at what happens to your body and people. Once you become aware of what your body does, it's so much better in life, don't you think?

Yes, I think so too. 88893033 is the phone number. 888-90333 is the phone number. holidays, I also saw that eight planets have been found that could support life. How cool is that? Eight planets. Now, two of them in particular are most like what we live in now, Earth. There's one kind of disheartening thing about the whole thing. Well, a couple actually, but one is that they orbit dwarf stars, which are actually smaller. cooler than our sun.

So some of those planets, if we ever do get there, may not be as warm as some of the places on this planet. I don't know that. I'm just guessing because they say that they're smaller and cooler than our sun.

Although, you know, really, uh, do we, need our sun hotter. No, I don't think so. All right, so eight new planets. The two are cool.

They're in what they call the Goldilog zone. This is scientific chat. The Goldilog zone. That's the region most similar to Earth of any known exoplanet that could allow presence

of liquid water and temperatures that could survive humans. The Goldilog zone. Now, they're known as, we could maybe do something a little bit better. They're known as Kepler 438B and Kepler 442B. Where are you moving to? Oh, K-40338B. Oh, that's a shame because I'm going to K-442B. Come on. Can we call it something else in a please. You've already called it the Goldilocks zone. Let's come up with something anyway. So anyway, the two planets that are most like Earth, Kepler 438B and Kepler 442B.

Now, okay, the other downside to these, the other downside to these two planets, they are just a little ways away from Earth you may want to you might be happy with living on the old 438B on the old K-438B because that particular planet is only 470 light years away from Earth okay so you might say you know what the old the K-438B doesn't sound bad. Because K-4-42B, you know, the one you told me you were going to go to, the 442B, yeah. That is 1,100 light years away, more than double the distance away.

So you have a little bit more traveling time. Okay. And since we can't travel the speed of sound. We're screwed. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Hey, welcome to it.

How in the world are you? 888-9033-33 is the phone number. If you want to use it, if not, just sit back, relax, take it easy. We're here for you. Michael Pelka with Pure O'Pelka coming up immediately following this broadcast on the Blaze Radio Network. Chris Salcedo at noon. Mike Slater at 3. Joe Pags at 6.

And you know, so much new programming coming this year on the Blaze Radio Network. And if you go to the Blaze Radio Network website slash radio. Theblaze.com slash radio. Theblaze.com slash radio. We have other podcasts that you can download as well. So just, you know, go check it. out. Don't try to, you know, don't try to think you're cooler than everybody else. Just go there. You know what I'm talking about. Theblaze.com slash radio.

Okay. It's very simple. Like this. So I wanted to make sure that you actually heard me. Okay. All right. So I now believe. I wonder if I have a lot of lawsuit against Netflix. We've talked about it before on this broadcast. Netflix has ruined me for any kind of weekly show. It just ruined it. It just ruined it. There are several shows that I love that are, you know,

still weekly shows are still on. I still like them. But they just, so difficult for me. to watch just one show at a time, it drives me crazy. It drives me crazy. We sit down, you watch a show, and you devr, you watch it when you have a chance, and then all of a sudden you realize it's over, and you want more, but there's no more to be had.

you know, in particular for like one show in particular now that I really just it has, you know, one show a week and then it goes on a big hiatus and doesn't come back until February 8th. It's about the only show that I can take that doesn't have, you know, it's a weekly thing

and that also, that kind of bugs me too because remember we got into that. You got into that by thinking that you started watching it on Netflix. So you went through season what, one, two and three or one and two the first time you started watching it and you realized,

yeah, I want to start watching this all the time. And then you have to go back to each week and wait for it. And now we're halfway through, see this season, season five, the halfway mark. It's just it was a pretty good, pretty good season five,

although I want them to pick up the pace a little bit. We've got a couple of milking episodes in there this past first half of season five that just killed me. Kelby! So let's pick it up on February 8th. We've got to wait until February 8th. And I was looking back at some of these predictions.

Now, the one prediction, they asked who's going to die. Who is going to who do you think most likely? They've got all these kind of polls here for questions. And who's going to die next? And they got down here all in on.

And Beth, they say she's going to die at 13%. Well, not really. You know, while she was the next one, that is correct. But that's not how she died. That's not how she died. Now, she was the next one. Obviously, everybody thought she was going to be the one. She was 19%.

She had the most percentage of who was going to die in the mid-season finale. You know, they weren't going to kill off anybody else but her. And it was a good death scene. Pretty good. Pretty good. Although I don't know that it, you know, were you as sad as what they made it out to be in the show? I don't think so.

You know, they made it, I know Daryl said, I cried for a day just to make myself all cried out. So I wouldn't cry when they killed her the show. And, you know, the people watching are like, it's going to be Beth. Get over it. She's going to die. Everybody dies in the show. Let's move on. Okay, let's go. Kill her off. Let's go.

But there were some great standoff scenes in that last episode with Rick and the people at the hospital. So it'll be fascinating to see what they do now. And I'm sure they're probably going to end up heading to Washington. You know they are, Alexandria. That's where the party is. And I haven't brought myself to purchase the, you know, magazines yet. I can't do it.

I just can't do it. I just don't want to start reading all the, I just don't want to start reading all the comic books to see if it's exactly like the comic books. Because we already know that a lot of it already isn't. And they're already talking about the spin-off shows. So let's get this Walking Dead. Let's get this over.

Let's milk this for another two or three. three seasons, and then let's be done. Okay? Yes, let's do that. However, we still have to wait until February 8, so I promise no more, I promise, okay, no more walking dead talk till we're with you, you and I are together on the 7th. Then we'll talk about it, we'll promote it, and we'll see exactly what, you know, what's going to happen, what the scuttle bud is, what's going on.

but I wanted to see maybe if there's an attorney listening, hey, do we have a case against Netflix because they really have ruined me on watching things. And I got to tell you, you know, I needed a couple new show. I've gone through all the BBC stuff. I've gone through, I mean, you get hooked and you stay up until, you know, 3 o'clock in the morning and you're watching, you know, six episodes of a thriller,

and you're finding out the serial killer and who the serial killer is and you're doing this. And then pretty soon it's 3.30 and it's time to get up and you've got zero sleep. So I don't know that I have a case against Netflix, but it's possible. And a warning to my cable company. Our contract with you, my wife and I, is up in May. And when that contract comes up, unless I get a fantastic deal,

and I do mean a fantastic deal, send somebody to the house. pick up your boxes pick up whatever wires you want pick up the remotes and get it out okay because I'm done I'm going to internet-based world

because if I even if I spend what 100 125 150 bucks a few different subscriptions to place things around the internet to watch shows

even if that happens I'm still up compared to what you're charging me, and I'm not even getting all the channels I want to get. Okay? So have a truck, ready to pull up, and take your crap. Okay? Yeah.

You heard. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show is on. It is the Jeff Fisher program. Welcome to it on the Blaze Radio Network. I'm joined by Craig Gundry, Vice President of Special Projects for Critical Intervention Services. And Mr. Gundry, how in the world are you?

Doing good. How are you? I am fantastic, although with all the, you know, the bad stuff going on around the world, and one of the things I wanted to talk to you about was the stuff that goes on here inside the U.S. I know we've got all kinds of bad stuff going on outside the U.S. And we're worried and concerned, and we need to lock down some stuff inside. but most importantly, since, oh, I don't know, the cities that come to mind, Sandy Hook, Sandy Hook was the last one that was the big school shooting. Columbine was another huge school shooting, and there's many, many more down the list.

And every time it happens, I think, oh, my gosh, aren't these schools on lockdown? Isn't there security? and then I read in your email that you sent me about your new program, the Guardian Safe School Program model, and I think, well, aren't they already doing that? And they're not, are they? I mean, schools aren't really on lockdown. No, no. And, you know, in fairness to schools, there's been guidance provided to them from so many different

directions. Unfortunately, there's very little integration to the advice that's been provided to schools. and as a result, what you tend to see throughout the country is different disparate measures that have been implemented in a response to those events. And unfortunately, often with very little understanding about how effective certain measures will actually be. And as a result, although most schools have been trying to improve security, really at the end of the day, very few of these security programs could put a hold up to the test.

Okay, so, I mean, do we need to have metal detectors at every gate? Do we need to have, I mean, is it going to cost us security guards or off-duty, officers at every entrance 24-7? I mean, what are some of the easiest things that these schools can do? Well, most of the things you just describe are physical security-oriented, and there is obviously a very important component of physical security, but really it's a multidimensional approach. Part of it is proactive in nature aimed at reducing potential threats

by implementing certain kinds of measures, such as having an effective safe school, climate, and culture, having an effective system for recognizing, investigating, and assessing threats in schools. So you want to profile these? students is what you want to do. Well, being able to recognize students that may be on what's called the pathway to violence and then being able to assess whether or not they truly are or if there's other issues involved and then design a management strategy in order to help de-escalate the situation

and help them get long-term help. But then there is a very important component to physical security and that's one area where we find that a lot of schools are genuinely confused. At the end of the day, physical protection science is all about math and that math at the end is really built a around two important times and the first time is what's called adversary task time. I mean the amount of time it takes for a bad guy to enter into an environment and accomplish his objective. Then the second time that's involved there is response time. And that involves two central elements, one of which is detecting an intrusion, reporting it,

and then, of course, the response. I don't know. I'm sorry, but if you look at most events in the past, what you really found was that that math did not work out correct. The adversary task time was less than the receipts. spot this time and as a result you know the intruder succeeded you mean in their objectives so one of the things that we do is we use actually an analytical approach the in fact it's it's a it's a it's a core approach that's used in physical

protection science based on the what's called the estimate of adversary sequence interruption model developed by sandy and I was just thinking about that the estimated and really what it does is it looks at the cumulative time it takes for for an adversary whether that somebody like Adam Lansing coming into a school. How long did it take from the breach of door? How long did it take for him to get through a window? How long did it take from the go down the hallway? And then it looks at, from the point that he's detected, how long it takes for a response force to intervene? And then part of the art of designing physical protection in a school environment is figuring out how to cost

effectively increase delay time while decreasing response time. And although that may sound like it's very difficult to achieve, and I'll be frank, it is kind of challenging in schools, especially with the kinds of budgets that schools have. I wish I think it is possible. Well, I'm going to be fascinated to hear some of the ideas and some of the plans to do that because first you got to know that the person, and I said he earlier, but the person, and it's normally a he, I would assume,

that, you know, you've got to know that they're in the school, first of all. You have to know that they're there. So there's got to be some sort of program set up to where, you know, no matter where a person, an intruder comes in, you have to know that that person is there. That's the detection. Yeah, detection.

Exactly, exactly. Well, detection is obviously a very important element of it. But keep in mind, too, as we talk about all these different measures, you really have several different categories of threats when we talk about school violence. 58% according to our study of perpetrator types are really the insider students, such as what you saw in Columbine. Right. They're already there.

You know, and then 28% actually are outsider adults, people like Adam Lanzza, Charles Paul, Roberts, the Fourth, you know, people like this that have no direct inside connection to the school itself. So a lot of what we do in the way of physical security is more effective against the outsider adult than it would be against the insider threat that already has access. That's where the other proactive measures become very important. Okay, so now do we have a phone in every corner? Do we have cameras set up everywhere? Do we, I mean, well, communication is really important.

In fact, you know, it's funny you mentioned communications because that's one area that we find that a lot of schools have problems because, you know, many schools, for example, if you have an intrusion into the school, it may take three separate phone calls for a teacher to notify all the necessary authorities in order to get effective response. One call to the principal, another call to 911, and then maybe another call over a public address system for a lockdown. And I'll be honestly, any time you have a situation like this where people's lives are at risk, the sympathetic nervous system kicks in, and they just don't think clearly, and as a result, those complex notification systems fail.

It's got to be very simple. That's the way we really designed our communication system. Right. I mean, you're going to fall down on one of those, if not more than one. And now you've lost all kinds of time. Exactly. And the way we designed ours is that depending upon the kind of phone system that the school has, they just simply dial one extension.

It goes straight to our operation center. That professional operator, very similar to a 911 call type system, then dispatches the security officer out there to respond. They then make the public address announcement. they then contact all the additional crisis team members and, of course, notify the local authorities, police, fiery, and that's wherever it is that's required. This way, the teacher, all they have to do is make the initial notification and then all that they have to worry about at that point is protecting their students. That's fantastic. And if they already have the assessment, I mean, 58%, you know, I mean, well over half of the students, it's, you know, it looks like it's going to be one of the perpetrators are going to be from inside the school already.

then once you know, I guess if you've already laid the groundwork, if you know who it is, then you know pretty much where they're supposed to be, who they hang out with and what they're, you know, that kind of thing, which is most important in that situation. Yeah, yeah. It's even more proactive than that, though. Once we recognize that we have a student that has either exhibited behavior, warning behaviors, as the terms referred to,

or they may have made a threat that initiated, that will, I should say, initiate an assessment. And then at that point, various different parties within the school itself, possibly even involved in community resources, would then evaluate the situation, looking to identify certain types of factors, risk factors, as it were, mourning behaviors, risk factors, and then trying to figure out if there's stabilizing influences in that individual's life. And then we design a management strategy, which really is a part of it is supervisory nature,

but part of it also means engaging the parents and helping the parents can make sure that that student gets the necessary assistance and then monitoring the situation long term to make sure that it's not continuing to escalate. I think it's an interesting thing. I'm sorry. Go ahead. I'm concerned that, you know, you've got the program, all right, the Guardian Safe School program, and you've got it set up, and now you're going out to, you know, you're

saying most, a lot of this is budget-oriented. I mean, there are schools, you know, suffering through a lot of things right now, and, you know, because of budget cuts and, you know, budget issues, maybe not cuts. And why, you know, can we just go to school systems? And wouldn't it be better to have entire school systems set up with some sort of safe program for the children? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. In fact, a lot of the work that we do right now in this regard is consulting for schools or for school districts that are trying to implement it somewhere or would like to implement it somewhere.

which I program proprietarily, I mean, in-house. The way we designed our program is to really be turned key to the benefit of clients that don't really know how to or don't really want to try to figure this all out. Instead, you know, they can just simply hire us and we put the program in place for them, provide all the training, you know, the policy and procedure development, that kind of thing. But a lot of others tend to go the consulting route instead want that developed internally for their organization. All right. So are we, have we implemented in school districts across America already?

You've only got one more school district to go and we've covered everything, right? Well, I wouldn't quite say that. No, no, not yet, not yet. We're not quite at that point. But I'll tell you, you know, John Jay College of Criminal Justice did a peer review on it this last year, which was great. They've actually kind of hailed it now as a model for best practices in school security throughout the United States. and I would eventually, you know, like to see John Jay or maybe some other academic parties helping with regard to getting this information out to school districts so that it's not just, you know,

CIF down here in Florida that's doing this, but instead this type of approach would be more universal and available throughout the country because really at the end of the day, these are the most important assets that we have as a community to protect, and it's just really kind of sad that we're at where we're at right now. Yeah, no kidding. But how much of this needs to have some sort of communication? with the you know with local law enforcement as well let alone just inside the school districts oh in many cases that becomes essential especially if local law enforcement has been an SRO program in place that provides protection that where

the response inside of schools there's a lot that schools can do that don't necessarily require law enforcement involvement but at the same time you mean especially with regard to the response you mean if they have SROs on site then that has to be an integral part of the whole time program. All right, so I want more information on listening and my student is going to public school and not being homeschooled. I need to do what for your information? Well, if anybody's interested in and maybe exploring these concepts a little bit deeper, I encourage them to visit our website, worldwide web, cISwalt services.org. We've got a lot of information up there about how the program

operates. And if there's any schools out there that are interested in adopting this kind of method, they're more than welcome to reach out to us and we'd be happy to help them out. That's fantastic. Craig Gundry, Critical Intervention Services. Thank you so much, man. I appreciate it. It's been my pleasure. Here we go. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. It does. It do. It is. 888-9033 is the phone number. Welcome to it. Thanks to Craig Gundry from CIS in Tampa Bay.

I'm very familiar with that company. I've known those guys for a long, long time. and they do fantastic work. And Craig, I mean, what he talked about is great. And if you have children in school, you want that program. So that you know your kids are safe, right? There's a plan. There's a plan and place. Just to have something higley-pigley in there is ridiculous.

And your child safety is what? I don't know. Important? Yeah, of course. So they found a little time. capsule. This is so funny the time capsule because when you think of a time capsule, you know, you think of something, I don't know. I guess I think of a time capsule like something in the size of this room or something, you know, a box, something, a big, you know,

a crate. They find this time capsule in the, you know, the corner of the Massachusetts state house. And it's five, five and a half inches by seven and a half inches by seven and a half inches by one and a half inches. Okay, five and a half, by seven and a half, by one and a half. Hell, most people in America have phones bigger than that. So anyway, they find this time capsule. And among the stash, and this is not the first time they found it. Did you realize that?

I found that fascinating. It's not the first time they found it. They found it in 1855 when they were doing some repairs, and they, cleaned it up and they put a few more things in there and then they stuffed it away again. So what? Another 160 years or so. It's kind of cool. The coins that were in it were half cent, one cent, half dime, 10 cent, and 25 cent coins. And another set of coins included a pine tree shilling from 1652 and a copper metal showing George Washington. A copper metal. A copper showing George Washington.

That would just be fascinating. And I would actually, don't ever tell him this, ever in your life. Don't ever tell him this. But if I could, I would buy that for going back, just to give it to him. Because he would love it, and I would love to give it to him.

But they would treat this like gold, and it would be more a lot. It would be cheaper for me to buy bars of gold than to get that for him. But I would love to be able to give it to him. But don't you ever tell him that? Oh, my gosh. I will not admit that in public.

I will not admit that in public. It also, it was time caps. It was that newspapers and a little title page. It was also a little silver plate, which they assume was made by Paul Revere, and it was engraved by him. So that's kind of cool, huh?

I mean, that's a treasure in itself, the engraved plate by Paul Revere, who was himself a metal smith and a Revolutionary War hero, right? We've got the newspapers, or they haven't told us what the five news, what it said on the five newspapers. I don't even know if they've dared to open them up yet, really, unless they're, I mean, I guess they have. I just haven't seen what the newspapers said yet.

But it would be really cool to have that. that and it might be something to do with your children. Just do your own little time capsule. Huh? I know. My wife already came up with that idea. We're going to have to do it. So I've got to make it fun, right?

Of course I do. Of course, because it is fun. And more of this program, which is fun coming home. The Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. It's a success. Begin Life Force reboot program. Now.

Michael Pelka's broadcast coming up immediately following this broadcast. He's probably going to be giving away something. I don't know what. You know, you never know. You never know. It might be a button with his picture on it. It might be shoelaces. You know, it might be.

You know what it might be. It might actually be shoe. polish. The Michael Pelka's shoe polish. So look forward to that, because that's coming up right after this broadcast. And then, of course, you do a little Glenn Beck rewind with the Glenn Beck weekend. And then Chris Salcedo live, Mike Slater's live, Joe Paggs live, all right here on the Blaze Radio Network. And so much more coming this year on the Blaze Radio Network.

So stand by for that information, okay? Yeah. And I know, yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a terrorist attack. I got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. John Boehner was reelected as a speaker. I got it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, that's the college national championship in a couple days. The NFL playoffs. The road to the Super Bowl starts today. Who cares about all that other stuff? Oh, my gosh. And really, I'm going to be fascinated to see the front is right here, just down the road, and see if there's an earthquake while the game's going on.

It'll be fascinating to see, you know, the crowd will, of course, will be sold out. Everybody wants to go. I mean, it's Ohio State and, you know, Oregon, the two O schools, OSU and O-R-E, O-V-O for the national championship. But the college bull season was, you know, exciting. And a lot of teams, one of my, you know, the Missouri Tigers, M-I-Z, Z-O-U baby. They're doing good. They ended the season great. And some teams ended the season with some frightening numbers.

Missouri 11 and 3, love that. Looking good. I was a little disappointed that it's going to be Ohio State and Oregon for the national championship. I was happy that Oregon beat Florida State. Unhappy that Ohio State beat Alabama. But Urban Meyer is well worth his salt. No question. I've met him a couple of times.

He recruited my son when he was head. coach at the University of Florida. And in the beginning, my son actually really wanted to go to Florida. And I could tell you a little story, a little behind-the-scenes story about that someday. Just a weird recruiting thing that I believe, no one else will admit it, but I believe it to be true. Urban recruits, I'll tell you right now. Urban recruits, his main belief was that, A, you've got to love football, you got to love, you know, You got to love the game of football.

You've got to be ready to play. You've got to be ready to work. And you've got to be from a big school, big high school. He recruits players from big high schools that play in big programs. It's one of his beliefs. I'm sure it still is. Ohio State is proof positive that that works. When he was at Florida, that again, proof positive that it worked.

So if you were a student at the University of Florida when he was coached from a smaller high school, you had to be really sold. And you had to be sold to Urban from the other coaches. And we met Urban a couple of times, and my son played at a smaller high school in Florida, not one of the bigger ones. And so, you know, Urban was questionable on my – and they didn't tell him. So he ended up going to Missouri, which is fine. Missouri is great. We was recruited by Auburn, and recruited by a bunch of schools, and he picked Missouri.

That's fine. And, you know, it worked out great for him. Life is wonderful. Not mad at anyone. However, because of the fact that my son, I believe this, this is where, this is the road that I'm down. Now, this maybe this is just me thinking that, that's right, my son was good, and that's why you did what you did. But the following, the two years down the road, there was another player that was from my son's high school, an offensive lineman. Okay.

I believe not as good as my son, but still a good offensive lineman. but because my son was already starting at the University of Missouri, and Urban knew that, he had failed to recruit my son, which would have been a good recruit for him. He recruited the other kid. So because he felt, you know, he's felt, oh, maybe this school's got something going on for offensive linemen. That's just my little inside story from Urban Meyer,

of the University of Florida and the University of Missouri and a little bragging on my boy, Elvis Fisher. That's it. That's it. That's all I got for you. Now, it's the new year, and what do you got? We can talk football. I'll talk football with you forever. And then you're going to go, Jeff, no. We'd go to the sports station for that. Well, if dog got it, I could be the sports station.

Okay. This could be the sports station. I can do that. Don't push me. Don't push me. All right. I've done sports before. I can do it again. Okay. I've got another great recruiting story. I won't tell you this one today either, but I promise, either, because I did tell you the other one. I promise I won't tell you this one, but I'll just tease it. I have another great recruiting story from the University of South Florida and my son.

Oh, my gosh. That actually, there isn't any question about my beliefs or, you know, I think that the coach did this, or I think it's all facts. And at the time, I was working for the University of South Florida as a color radio broadcaster for their football program. I went to all their games, broadcast their football games, the radio announcer did interviews with the college coaches in the Big East. Talk to all the Big East. I mean, so I'll tell you that story someday, too. Now, what would you do?

How can you say that line without saying a Klondike bar? What would you do for a Klondike bar? I mean, you can't, you can't. But that's not where I was going with this. More protein than beef, more omegas than salmon, tons of calcium, antioxidants, vitamin B. Okay? What do you think it is?

It was produced in the special scientist R&D Lab at Beyond Meat, Beyond Meat. Beyond meat It's a plant protein based performance burger delivers juicy flavor real thing with none of now this is what kills me

about the Beyond Meat it is it says here hey it delivers the juicy flavor and texture of the real thing with none none of the dietary and environmental downsides

dietary downsides, I'll give you. What are the environmental downsides to eat in a burger? Really? Really? Come on. Okay. Now, it's going to be out here real soon. It's fascinating.

He got a bunch of money. The guy that developed it, he talked about dumping meat a few weeks ago, hard breakup. The more I learned, the more he wanted to get away from, the more he wanted to get away from real meat. He said, I knew that every burger I consumed, I was helping to suck America's rivers dry, munching on a fecal casserole, seasoned liberally with e coli, passively condoning an orgy of torture that would make Hannibal Lecter Blanche, and accelerating global warming as surely as if I'd plowed my hummer into a solar installation. Are you kidding me? I mean, I'm happy that he made it, and I hope he did not.

get any government money. I'm looking through, I was reading this story. It doesn't look like he specifically got any hard money from the government, although it's very possible. Very possible because some of this was done at the University of Missouri. Some of these studies were out at the University of Missouri. We'll see. But I know he got a bunch of money from Bill Gates, and it's cool. I actually, I can't wait to try it because it sounds really good. But, This whole thing of, I knew that with every burger I consumed, I was helping to suck America's rivers dry, munching on a fecal casserole, seasoned liberally with e-coli, passively condoning an orgy of torture that would make Hannibal Lecter blanche.

And accelerating global warming as surely as if I'd plowed my hummer into a solar installation, we all needed to kick the meat habit. Starting with me. Livestock, in fact, are horribly inefficient at making meat. Are they? Only about 3% of the plant matter that goes into a steer winds up his muscle. The rest gets burned for energy, ejected as methane, blown off as excess heat, shout out the back of the beast, or repurposed into non-meat-like things such as blood, bone, and brains.

The process buries river systems and manure and requires an absurd amount of land. Roughly three-fifths of all farmland is used to grow beef. although it accounts for just 5% of our protein. But we love meat. Yes, we do. And with the developing world lining up at the table and sharpening their steak knives, global protein consumption is expected to double by 2050. Well, thank you for at least fixing that.

I get a real problem with the hatred of cattle. And let's just kill off all the cattle because we don't need the cattle. They're inefficient. Now, I do love the fact. In 2009, when the World Watch Institute published livestock and climate change, which carefully assessed the full contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, and of the world's cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, camels, horses, pigs, and poultry. An earlier report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization

had pegged that contribution at 18%. worse than cars and trucks. Now, stop. Okay. Stop. Stop. Okay, but the Beast Burger coming out. It says in this story, January.

This was from December 26th, the story that I found over the holidays. Don't tell my wife I was looking at stories over the holidays. Because that was about the time right around, right about that time. It was after Christmas. I got the question from my wife. How long are you off? A few more days, honey, then I'll be out of here. Anyway, the Beast Burger coming out, should be out right now.

It's select whole foods. Quarter pound, well marbled, USDA ground beef, lovingly grilled at home, served piping hot. I'm telling you it sounds good. I cannot wait to try this. Better chew. Beef burger is grisly. So hopefully it'll be good.

I can't wait. I cannot wait to try this. Because if it's not what they claim it to be, and other veggie burgers have not been. And this isn't really a veggie burger. This is just a, you know, right? It's the meat from plants, right? Beyond meat, the beast burger.

They're claiming, you know, this is kind of like the, you know, hey, it's a veggie burger that isn't a veggie burger, and we're making this so we can replace meat, so we don't have to have all this cattle to feed people because it's so damn inefficient, right? So it better be good. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. On the Blaze Radio Network.

It's the Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to it. 888-90-33 is the phone number. You can join me anytime 24-7. on my Twitter account at Jeff EMRA. Michael Pelka, Pure O'Pelka, coming up immediately following this broadcast on this very network,

the Blaze Radio Network. And not only is there live programming on the weekends, why, you should listen on, I don't know, a Monday through Friday, because you have a dock and skip, Glenn Beck, a Buck Sexton, Jay Severn,

and Pat and Stu. I mean, that's a weekday lineup. And so go to theblaze.com slash radio for more information. Shall you? Yes, you shall. You shall. What if I told you? This actually sounds good on the surface.

When you dig a little bit, you think maybe she's right. If I came to your front door and I handed you a check for 9774 million, 790,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. $317.77. What would you say? I mean, that's not $975 million, but it is $974 million, and $790,317.7. And the wife of Harold Ham, I should say. the now ex-wife who's getting a divorce said no no you go ahead and put that check back in your pocket that's not going to happen okay no uh no she was a few billion uh harold mr oil Berrin, one of the richest people in the world, okay? They've been going through this divorce since 2012.

There's a picture of them. I love the picture. The picture is at the time 100 gala, a times 100 most influential people in the world at the cocktail party at the Lincoln Center, April 24, 2012, New York City. Sue Ann filed for divorce the next month. It doesn't say the date, but just says, May 2012. So it was like a week later, she was filing for divorce.

Now, he has claimed to be worth $18 billion. $18 billion. And you're trying to buy me off with $974 million. Not even a billion. You're worth $18 billion. I've been married to you for 25 years. You see, a piece of oil garbage. And you're trying to buy me off with not even under a billion.

Under a billion. You make me sick. Now, he's already paid 20 million over the last couple years, you know, keeping her, you know, keeping her afloat. You know, try, I guess, I don't know how you've managed a lifestyle. You've become used to a lifestyle of 18 billion. And now you're left trying to get some money from Mr. Oilbearing. You know he's being a bastard about it too. And maybe deservedly so.

She was claiming that he was having an affair. Maybe he was hanging out with Prince Harry. I don't know. Who wasn't? Who wasn't down there with Epstein party? that nobody cares about. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we were all just down there having fun.

He's a good guy. Anyway, I don't know that. It doesn't say anything about him being with Epstein, but it's very possible. Now, she rejected in November a little bit more than a billion, so now he's pissed. And really might have been a bad move because oil prices are down so much now

that he may not be worth $18 billion. I mean, oil prices are down now. be down to, I don't know, 12 billion or so. So she better take some cash quick. That's just my advice. I'm not your attorney, Sue Ann, okay? But I would say, maybe settle for one or two billion right now and take the money and get away.

Okay, because oil prices are dropping. And if the whole thing goes to hell, get out and get out now. But how much would you love? I love the picture of the check. I just do. I just love the picture of the check. from the trust and the trustee name written out. One day, I want to be able to write this check and have it actually, I mean, I could write the check now.

$974,790,317. $17.77. You know, I'm not going to write it now. What I'd like to do is be able to write it and have it be good. Oh, that's going to happen. The Jeff Fisher Show, a blaze radio network. The Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to it.

888-90-3-33 is the phone number. Okay, so I'm going to read your story this half hour before we get out of here. One of my favorite stories of all time. And just know that when I read it to you, I love this story. Okay, I love it. And it's a little surprise because I'm going to share. with you later this half hour. Okay?

Yeah. A little special story that I want to share with you. Just you. Okay? Yes. I promise. It's just you. I promise.

You know, I was talking about Epstein, Mr. Slymeball. Mr. I got underage girls, you know, massaging me, and I've got all kinds of things going on. But where does it start? Well, we get the story of the California Lawyer Dad in San Diego County. who throws the big party for, you know, a couple hundred teenagers. His daughter turns 18. He's throwing a big playboy themed party for his 18-year-old girl. And they've got the party on the house.

I mean, come on. Really? I mean, I get it. Trust me. I get it. I got it. Okay. Good idea.

In theory. In theory. Because you know he was. thinking, well, I mean, I don't know what else they've done in their life. I don't know. He's Mr. Lawyer. The mom tweeted about it. You know, happy birthday.

Okay. But, you know, of course, the police are called and they arrest a bunch of people. Young kids under 17 are passed out. There's alcohol. Who knows what else is there. I don't know if anybody was having any illicit activity, but I would venture to say probably yes in a Playboy themed party. and you're either

thinking, well, I'll let them do it here at my house and they're not somewhere else or you're thinking, hey, I might not think my daughter is that hot, but she's got a lot of hot friends. And if they come over here in this playboy themed party, they might as well do it here so I can enjoy the look. Like I said, it's good in a theory

because it never works out that way. And once again, it doesn't work. out that way here. Police called people in trouble. But that's where it starts. And then it goes down the road. Down the road to Epstein and the prince and his sex parties. Although now they're talking about the sex slaves and the underage sex slaves,

it's just awful. Just all these guys are really, really dirtbags. And, you know, I don't mind. We can know what, you can't. I know they're dirt bags. We'll just leave it at that. Shall we? We'll just leave it in dirt bags.

Okay. Now, I touched on a little bit earlier last hour. I know I got it. Okay. It was over the holidays. And I thought, oh, you know, it's Christmas. And I'm home and doing this and that. You know, I'll just have a cigarette.

That was a mistake. It was so good. It was so good. That's what I mean. it's so hard. Everybody says, Ziggards are nasty. No, no, they're not. It was fantastic. At the end of it, I didn't think, oh, man, that tastes terrible. Boy, am I glad I quit these. I thought, wow. That was good, and that must be why I, uh, I like to smoke. because they were good.

Now, sorry, I dropped my pen. Now, do I want to maybe quit for five or six months and then smoke again? That's probably not a bad idea. I know you're thinking, well, no, but it's better than smoking, right? You're all, everybody's after me. You got a quiz smoking. You have to quit smoking. You know you have to quit smoking.

It's bad for you. It's bad for you. You know it's bad for you. How many times you got to hear that it's bad for you? How many times? Well, you know what? Maybe a couple more. Maybe a couple more.

And then we'll see. Okay? Then we'll see. And why is it? I'm trying to... First of all, I'm going to stop for just a second because I want to put my charger into my phone. Okay? But I cannot open the bottom of where the charger goes.

Because of the case that my phone is in, you have to pop this thing. And I don't... I think the manufacturers need to become a... more human-friendly to pop this bottom piece on your phone so that you can get the charger in there. And I'm really, I'm about ready to throw up my phone because I have my timer on here, timed for the show. And it's really starting to tick me off because I can't get to my phone. I'm just taking it apart now. Let's take it apart.

Let's take the whole thing apart. In fact, you know what? You know the new case you got me for Christmas kids? I'm using that from now on. This old case is going goodbye because it's ticking me off. All right? I just take it apart, take it out of the whole case so that I can put the charger in. You know, some people would say, Jeff, why don't you charge your phone overnight like regular people?

Because that would be stupid. That would be stupid. That would mean that I would actually have to have plug it in next to where I sleep. Who does that? That would be dumb. That would be almost like what the government spends, don't you think? I mean, like the government spends on your tax dollars. Like, I don't know, a smartphone game to teach parents how to convince their children to try and eat new healthier food.

It only costs $804,000, but the government spent money on that. You know, how about the $400,000 that they paid to transport foreign journalists to different breweries and distilleries in the U.S.? That's our U.S. government for you. Fantastic, isn't it? Yes. You know what? They also spent tax money $10,000. to monitor the growth rate of salt marsh grass.

The growth rate of salt marsh grass. 10 grand. The defense department, overpaid, not just paid, overpaid $3.3 million for radios for the Afghan army. It's just overpaid, though. That's it. They just overpaid for that. $50 million.

was spent for information that is mostly available online. Oh, please, please, government, send me. I will be happy to look stuff up for you. I can only do it part-time. So, $3 million? No problem. $10 million to produce a video game about five children who must get healthy enough to escape from a town full of obese people

and their evil king. Why am I not the evil king of this game? you spent 10 mil for Michelle Obama, you know this is what this is. You know that's what it is. It's a game. Oh, my gosh, I have to see this game. The video game about five children who must get healthy enough to escape from a town full of obese people and their evil king. I, first of all, Michelle, why did you not pay me to be the king of this game?

I am the king of the city. Paralegals and a patient trial and appeal more. paralegals at the patient trial and appeal board were paid $5.1 million. As they watched just Netflix and views. Oh my gosh, they were just on the clock. They got all this money to work, and all they were doing was just watching Netflix. Unbelievable. These people, unbelievable.

Now, when you look at some of the other spending that's going on from our government, It's a good times. The cupboard is bare. Nancy Pelosi was right. The company is bare. But what if a typical family spent? No, I don't know. Money like the government.

What do you think? In 2014, let's use $2,14, okay? The median family income in the U.S. is $52,000. Okay? It's pretty good. Pretty good. 52,000. If they spent money like the federal government,

they'd spend $60,400 a year. Okay? That means that they'd put up $8,400 on credit card every year, despite already being in debt for 300, over $300,000 already. So you make $52,000. You still spend $60,000, which puts you a little over $8,400 over, and you're still already over $300,000 in debt. That, my friends, is the United States government.

It's a beautiful thing. And yet, when they talk about cutting, they're cutting from what you're paying more than not what you're making. Okay? And then even if they say, okay, if they cut from the 8,400, these people drive me insane. And then, you know, I know I got it. John Boehner is part of the establishment. Right, John, you keep telling yourself that big guy.

You keep telling yourself that. Welfare spending is up. I can't read any of it. Welfare spending is up. Everything. It's insane what our federal government is spending. And yet you and I, we can't live like that, can we? No.

No, we can't. One of my favorite stories of all time coming up on the Blaze Radio Network. I read this to my kids at least once a year. I love it. Michael Pelka coming up. Chris Salcedo, Mike's later. Joe Pags, all right here on the Blaze Radio Network. there is absolutely no reason for you to go anywhere else.

I don't know if you listen to another classic moron trivia yesterday on the Glenn Beck radio program, but you've got Dallas and Green Bay coming up today. So you've got football today. You've got cold weather. I mean, build a fire. You've already listened to this show, my gosh. Just download it.

You download it, and you can listen to it again because you know there was some information earlier on the show that you probably want to hear again, for sure. There was, right? There was information earlier that information that you wanted to hear? Of course there was. So you just download that and listen to it again, sit by the fire, and you don't even need to listen to the football announcers.

Who listens to them anyway? Who listens to the football announcers? I know I don't. I call my own game. And that's a fact. I can't. I would much rather be calling the games. Okay?

So I call the games. a lot of times in my head but then there are times in my house when I'm just calling my own game and boy I must tell you my family really loves it when I do that This is the Jeff Fisher show on the police radio network

The Jeff Fisher show This story from a book back at 1997 I think seems like 18 lives ago called Chicken Poop for the Soul. You heard right. Stories to harden the heart and dampen the spirit by David Fisher, no relation that I know of. This story inside the book, however, though I don't think it does that,

but you decide. It's one of my favorite stories I read this to my children at least once a year. And now I'm going to read it to you. It's called Table Manners. There once was a time when the fork was king of the table, proud and alone. The fork ruled his domain, and there was peace and harmony on the tabletop. Everything was fine. Until the night that soup was served, the fork could not lift the soup. He tried and tried, but there was nothing he could do. Each time he dipped into the soup,

it dribbled through his long, thin tines. Finally, the spoon. The fork's oldest enemy. I can lift the soup, said the spoon. Reluctantly, the fork accepted the assistance of the spoon. Together, the fork realized they could even be more powerful. Working as a team, it seemed as if there was nothing they could not accomplish, and once again, everything on the tabletop was peaceful. Until the night, that meat was served. The fork and the spoon worked together, but as hard as they tried,

They could not cut the meat. The knife, the enemy of both the fork and the spoon, came along. I can cut the meat, said the knife. Reluctantly, the fork and the spoon accepted the assistance of the knife. The knife cut the meat and the fork picked it up. Together, the fork, the spoon, and the knife were all powerful. Working as a team, there was truly nothing they could not accomplish. And so, for a time, peace.

and harmony reigned on the tabletop. For it was true, working together the fork and the spoon and the knife were able to accomplish all that was demanded of them. But then one dark night, lemon meringue pie was served. The knife said quickly, I can cut it. The spoon said pleasantly, and I can pick it up. But the fork, I can cut it and pick it up. So once again there was distrust on the table.

tabletop. And while the spoon was busily occupied, picking up the lemon-mering pie, the fork whispered to the knife, you know, we don't really need the spoon. And if we get rid of him, there'll be more for us. So while the spoon's handle was turned, the fork and the knife pushed him off the table. For a time, there was an uneasy piece on the tabletop. Then one day a big piece of chocolate cake was served. The chocolate cake was the fork's favorite. dessert. The fork cut into the cake and picked it up. It was delicious. And as the fork cut another piece, he realized he didn't need the knife anymore. So that night, when the knife had his blade turned and the fork pushed him off the table. And once again, the fork was king of the

table. And there was peace and happiness until the very next night. When once a once he was a fork was king of the table, again. Super safe. You decide. Uplifting? I think so. I think so. Has anyone told you you look great today?

Well, you do. You look great. Excess. Oh, day, are you? Okay. Okay. Hey. It looks good on you.

We'll talk again soon. See. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
