Jay Severin.
I'll tell you what I think about, despite my history with Mitt Romney,
despite what I think of him and everything else,
I will tell you honestly with my heart and soul what I think about what he did this morning
in calling a national press conference to attack Trump.

Weekdays 3 to 5 p.m. Easter 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.
Well, hello.
How are you?
Welcome to the broadcast.
I know it doesn't make much difference to you, but to me it does.
And we have had, if it sounds a little bit different, just because I'm talking to you,
I wanted to talk to you so bad, so bad today, that even with technical issues between Mercury Studios in Dallas and New York City,
yes, I used the miracle of a regular hardline phone.
It still works. Amazing, I know. I could have used cell phone technology. It's possible, but no. Why would I do that when I could just talk to you on a hardline phone? Right? Right. Now, so it sounds a little bit different. Sorry, welcome to the Blaze Radio Network. We'll try to get it figured out for you. But I didn't want to miss the show just because we were having some,
know, some kind of boozy little technical difficulty between Dallas and New York.
You don't care, right?
And if you do, tough, okay, tough.
Welcome to it.
The Blaze Radio Network.
888930-33-93 is the phone number.
That technology hopefully will still work.
We've got so much going on today.
CPAC going on, Michael Pelcom, Glenn Beck.
all on the Blaze Radio Network live.
I don't think you're not going to be able to live live on the Blaze Radio Network,
but you will be able to see the speech later on this afternoon.
I started looking, thinking about the show, you know,
I mean, I kind of think about, you know, the things that you would like during the week.
And then last night I'm kind of putting things together,
and I thought, you know, and then I get onto this story.
And I just want to welcome you to the mind of the mind.
me. Let's call this the mind of me. So I find this story, you know, 19 things that make you feel
like a dinosaur. Yes, I'm hooked. All right, you got me. I want to see what those 19 things are.
And usually by the time I get to, you know, five, I've had enough of clicking to the next page
because it's all about page clicks for these websites. So, you know, I move on. But here I am,
the 19 things that are the dinosaur.
And I want to introduce you to my mind and how it works because I'm on one and it says
Motorola Razors were popular over 10 years ago.
Okay, you got me.
I love those Motorola Razor phones.
So number two, I click, I move on.
You've already got me.
And it talks about the first Zoolander movie.
The first Zoolander came out 14 years ago.
What?
What? And, of course, this website now is saying, you know, saying they must be love Ben Stiller,
because they're talking about Tropic Thunder is seven years old. And then they tell you that Ben Stiller is 51 years old this year.
Don't forget these are 19 things that are supposed to make me feel like a dinosaur, right?
All right, so Ben Stiller, 51, you got me.
Then they have a picture of Britney Spears with their head shaved, and it talks about Britney's meltdown,
nine years ago, nine years ago for the Brittany meltdown.
Amazing.
She's actually turned that around big time.
So you've already got me on moving on inside the mind of me.
Number six, kids starting high school this year were born in 2000 or 2001.
Wow.
That is amazing.
You got me.
I'm moving on.
All right.
And it talks about, you know, the girl that was featured on the Blink 182 CD, she's 43 now.
Their album, Animal of the State, 17 years ago now.
Wow.
So then I think, you know, I see Enema of the State.
It makes me think, well, enemy of the state, one of my favorite movies.
I mean, how old is that?
So I looked that up.
18 years ago, it was enemy of the estate.
All right, so I'm back to the list.
I've moved from the IMDB page of enemy of the state back to the list.
And they tell me that all the blink 182 artists in the band are in their 40s now.
All right, whatever.
So I click on to 10.
You're still got me.
It says the years, number 10, the years 1966 to 1991 are just as far
part as 1991 in 2016. I mean, duh. And then it asked me, remember Stephanie Tanner?
Well, of course I remember Stephanie Tanner simply because I was forced not long ago to watch
the opening episode on Netflix Fuller House, right? And she was the little girl on the original
full house. And my wife was a, you know, big fan. So, of course, I was forced to watch the Fuller House.
and it was just a tremendous episode, and Netflix did a great job.
But she is now 34 and a recovering drug addict.
But, you know, her character is still, you know, whatever it is on Fuller House.
All right, so you got.
Number 12.
I'm still with you.
I'm still on the list of the 19 things that are going to make me feel like a dinosaur.
I haven't really felt like a dinosaur yet.
I've just felt like, yeah, I remember that.
The little girl from aliens is now 39 years old.
still got me. I'm still clicking.
I'm still clicking.
Number 13.
Remember when everyone was obsessed with Boxy.
And I love to other.
Okay, now I'm thinking, boxy, boxy, boxy.
Was I ever obsessed with Boxy, Boxy?
And so, you know, I go, look up Boxing.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Well, she now, you know, should the Internet, who's a little celebrity,
well, she's on the Discovery Channel now doing a show.
a Discovery Channel. Amazing. Good for her. I'm still clicking. I'm still there. You got me.
19 and I've made it through 13. And I've only taken a couple of side trips, right? Inside
the mind of me, I've only taken a couple of side trips. Number 14, if Bart Simpson had aged
like a real person, he would be 36 years old. Okay. Okay. I've not, I don't feel like a dinosaur.
I'm still like, wow, okay, you've got me.
So you've already got me.
I'm still moving.
Number 15, I'm still clicking.
You're getting your page views.
EmGN.com, imagine.com.
Number 15, Green Day is being played on classic rock stations.
All right.
You still got me.
I'm not a dinosaur yet, though.
Not quite sure I feel like a dinosaur yet, but you still got me.
Then they have the cover of Playboy magazine from 1996.
Leslie Nielsen is on it.
Story about Bruce Willis, story about Michael Jackson,
story about Courtney Love.
And to think that Playboy still had a magazine then, right?
Because they just ended that.
We talked about that not long ago.
Pretty fascinating.
Number 17, you still got me.
I'm still clicking.
Because now I'm almost, now I'm on the downside of the 19.
Right?
I'm like, okay, well, I mean, I've got to know all 19.
I have to.
17. They bring up
squeeze it, the fruit juice
bottles that you ripped the little top off.
And they were called squeeze it. Of course I remember those.
I mean, we bought them by the ton for my
oldest son when he was a, you know,
when he was a kid, although
they were discontinued 15 years ago.
Okay.
almost close to feeling like a dinosaur.
I've not there yet, though.
I've almost.
It's possible that I could be there,
which gets me thinking about all the times that we use,
squeeze it, you know, it rocks me down memory lane
of when my oldest son was, you know, a little kid.
So you got me.
I've got a couple more left, right?
I'm going to have to do it, right?
So I hit 18.
This is where I went way off track.
This is where the train derailed.
The little pink-haired girl,
from Lazytown.
Remember her?
25 years old.
And I think, wow, she's 25.
And I think the little girl from,
the little Pinkard girl from Lazy Town,
I wonder what the heck she's doing now.
So I click on, you know,
Pinker Girl from Lazytown.
And the first story that pops up is from October 2012.
And it says,
Stephanie from Lazytown,
arrested for prostitution.
I read the story. I'm like, oh my gosh, she's arrested for prostitution. Are you kidding me? That's amazing. I can't believe it. And then I click back out of that story. And August of 2013, almost a year later, it talks about an interview with Juliana Rose Murillo, the Lazytown Pink-Hare Girl, who played Stephanie. And then right below that is another.
story that says she died of an apparent suicide overdose.
And I'm like, are you kidding me?
So I click on the die.
She died of an overdose story.
Here it is.
She died of an overdose.
And then I thought, well, I wonder what she said in this interview in 2013.
So I go to the interview.
And the interview is fascinating with this glossy website,
glossy news.
And she is like,
thanks for joining us.
Now let's just do the interview.
Please, I'm very uncomfortable.
When were you arrested for prostitution?
I've never been arrested for anything.
Not ever.
Where did you guys even get this story?
What about getting arrested for drugs?
No, not for anything.
I've never been arrested.
Now, remember, this interview took place before the story.
of her dying of a drug overdose.
And it goes on and on and on,
and she's denying and wondering what the heck this guy is talking about
or this girl who glossy news is talking to her.
And she talks about,
I have an art film I'm working on right now.
It's not exactly for the younger crowd,
but it's pretty rare, pretty raw and pretty amazing.
I probably shouldn't talk about it.
Glossy news, is it an adult film?
you'll have to wait for the premiere to find out.
So that almost seems like it is, right?
She says, so it's an adult film.
I already told you, I won't say.
What sorts of things will this adult film delve into?
Okay, we are done.
Now, then she says, I'm out.
Come on, I don't even know what you mean.
I don't even know how to answer that on the record.
Would you like me to turn off the recorder?
You guys are so silly.
I think we're done here, right?
Go ahead and turn it off.
The tape ran out.
And then he asked, if I had an eighth of Coke in my pocket, how would you change this interview?
So they're just beating up this Juliana, the Pink-Ared Girl from LazyTown, right?
So then, all right, so I'm like, wait a second.
This is amazing.
She didn't answer.
She didn't say anything.
I've got to find out what the deal was.
So I look it up.
Okay.
here's the answer of pick-haired girl from Lazytown.
Best answer of her dying in an overdose.
She didn't.
The only news outlet that reported her arrest was this glossy news,
and they made it up.
They changed Stephanie's actress because she was too old to play Stephanie, right?
She did it for two years, and then they brought in another girl for another two years.
So this girl who played Stephanie, Juliana Rose Mariela, she's still alive.
she's still alive living in New York
she's got a daytime Emmy Award
for a children's a preschool children's series
nominated and that was for the
lazy town stuff
but she's working at a performing art school
that's amazing this website
made all this stuff up but it got me
into the mind of me
that's where I mean now I'm way off track
right I'm into the pink-haired girl from Lazy Town
way off track
and I still haven't got to number 19.
And I'm thinking, do I dare go to 19?
Do I dare, I mean, I have to, right?
Finally, I've got to go back.
I got to get out of Pink-Cared Girl from Lazytown, Stephanie, all the stories about her,
and they click on 19.
So they have a picture of, is it rumor, Willis, or Rummer?
Probably Rummer.
R-U-M-E-R-U-M-E-R-U-S-B-E-R-U-S-Bus, Bruce Willis kid with Demi Moore.
They have a picture of her.
and Demi Moore, side by side, wearing the same clothes, they look almost exactly alike.
And I don't know if that's sad because Demi is way off the rails trying to look young.
And she's done a pretty good job of it.
I mean, she's 52, and her daughter is 26.
and I mean they
look strikingly
the same.
And I'm just stuck on this picture.
Now I'm at 19
and I'm trying to think,
do I feel like a dinosaur
or I just feel like
you hooked me
clicking all these stories
and I had to find out
that Stephanie from Lazy Town
died of a drug overdose.
And then I find out
she didn't die of an overdose.
So you've made me sad
and you've made me sad
and you've made me
like you guys actually are doing stories that you just make up.
Welcome to the Internet, the new age.
Make sure you do your own homework.
That's been sent to me somewhere from somebody.
I don't know who that is.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
I'm not personally invested in any politics.
These are just people that are given the authority to do a job, and hopefully they do the job well.
I'm not looking for somebody to be a savior.
I'm looking for someone to be sane.
I'm looking for someone to be competent to, if not, make my life easier, at least stop making my life more difficult.
Buck Sexton, weekdays, noon to 3 p.m. Eastern on the Blaze Radio Network.
The Jeff Fisher Show is on.
Welcome to it.
888-90-3333 is the phone number.
plenty of live broadcasting for you today on the Blaze Radio Network.
Michael Pelko will be coming to you live from CPAC in Washington, D.C.
And Glenn has his big speech later on this afternoon at CPAC as they wrap it up.
You heard us broadcasting the radio show from there the last couple days and it's been really busy.
And I don't know where they're staying at, the Gaylord, there in D.C.
and it's across, it's not technically in D.C.
That is a beautiful place.
If you ever have an opportunity to go there, you should.
I'm not doing a live spot for the Gaylord,
although if they want me to, I will.
I'm a big fan of their properties.
It's really nice, and you can take a little boat ride
to see some of the monuments,
and you can, you know, obviously most places in D.C.
you see the Washington monument, but you can see it beautifully from the Gaylord.
And the Reagan International is not far from there, so you get to see, especially when you take the little boat ride.
You can see the planes land.
And you see how short of a runway that is.
And those planes come in.
I love the pilots that are landed at Reagan International.
But those babies come in as like, hit the ground stop.
It's when Dallas at DFW you land and you land in like three counties away.
and you just taxi through about three counties.
And Regan International, it's hit the ground, stop.
Okay, get out.
There's no wiggle room at Reagan International.
So those guys landing there are tremendous.
And then we've got, you know, you've got Chris Elthado coming up at noon, Mike Slater,
middle of the afternoon, Joe Pags this evening, all on the Blaze Radio Network.
No need for you to.
really go anywhere else. My gosh, why would you? Why in the world would you do that? It doesn't make
any sense, does it? No. No, it doesn't. Now, I want to talk a little bit today about the Aaron Andrews
case. My gosh, that was everywhere yesterday, and we didn't get to it on Glenn Show or Pat and Stu.
We got to it a little bit, I think on Pat and Stu earlier this week. But fascinated, fascinated
with this Aaron Andrews case.
We'll get to that next.
I mean, there's so much involved in that.
And, you know, it's horrible what happened to her.
And I actually know her dad, Steve Andrews.
He was a, it was a TV reporter in Tampa Bay.
And he's been there for years and years.
And I worked in Tampa Bay for many years, so I know her dad.
And nice man.
But anyway, it fascinates me what's going on in this trial,
because the guy that stalked her and took the pictures.
You know, he's done his time.
He's, you know, he was found guilty.
And now Aaron, you know, is trying to get some extra cash
because she's been wronged by these people.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show.
Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
On the Blaze Radio Network, this is the Jeff Fisher Show,
and this is Jeff Fisher.
Amazing, I know.
So, as I...
Ice cold beverage.
I'm looking over the Aaron Andrews case.
And I'm thinking to myself, you know, if you think to yourself, man, that, Jeff, what is wrong with your sound?
I'm talking to you over a hardline telephone today.
We have some, you know, some technical difficulties between Dallas and New York.
But you know what?
It still doesn't mean we have to stop enjoying each other, right?
Right. Okay, then.
So, as I was saying, before we went into the bottom of the hour with the news, I was fascinated with this Aaron Andrews case.
And so she is suing now, and she's suing for $75 million.
Okay.
Now, she's suing the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University, Windsor Capital Group, and Barrett.
Okay, she accuses a Marriott of negligence, infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy.
Now, this case was going on, and they did their closing arguments yesterday, as a matter of fact.
So it was, you know, they showed it was, I listened to some of her testimony, and she choked up during the trial.
and her dad
her dad took the stand in the trial
and she
her dad, Steve Andrews, testified
that the recordings have devastated his daughter.
She's afraid, she's afraid of crowds,
afraid of people.
She doesn't trust anymore.
He added that Aaron puked
just thinking about watching the videos.
Yeah.
Me too. The FBI had asked her to view the clips to help agents find clues about who shot them.
Barrett got a two-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to interstate stalking.
So he's already been found guilty of interstate stalking.
And, you know, she's, she tried to sue Marriott Corporate.
And that was thrown out. A judge said,
No. Nope, that's not happening. Okay.
You can sue some other people, but not that.
The judge said the franchisor was not responsible for security at the local hotel.
And, of course, I mean, Marriott released their usual statement as we maintained since this matter first came to our attention.
Marriott International was not responsible for what happened to Ms. Andrews, and we were pleased,
that the court has dismissed Marriott International from the case.
We continue to be sensitive to the serious nature of this matter
and remains committed to the safety and comfort of our guests.
So the jury goes to deliberations on Monday, as they heard this case.
Now, I'm trying to guess.
They can say, hey, if Aaron gets $75 million, no problem,
or they can say, no, Aaron, you don't get anything.
They can say, you know, Aaron, you make a pretty good wage.
We'll give you, you know, here's 50,000, get out of here.
And that's what, though, her attorney is arguing that, you know, she's obviously been distraised.
Her life is a wreck over this, but really is her life a wreck.
she's doing she's working uh you know doing her sports broadcasting she's doing her dancing with
the stars or was anyway um she is uh her career has not been harmed
her career you know mentally she's been harmed no question uh her career has not been
harmed at all um which is why she's suing for you know
negligence,
infliction of emotional distress,
an invasion of privacy,
because the career is,
you know,
she's still doing okay.
I'm guessing she makes a pretty good wage
for working,
doing sports,
and pretty good wage from doing,
dancing with the stars.
Both are pretty good gigs.
Pretty good gigs.
So I'm thinking,
is it worth $75 million?
Is it worth $75 million?
worth seventy five minutes i would actually would have argued and they argued that uh...
i i have gone back and listened to
and read the transcripts from the trial
but had i been her attorney
and you know
i know
i'm not an attorney
i got it
okay
i've just a
radio guy
that's
talking over the phone to you
this morning
because there's an issue
between, you know, there's an engineering issue that I can't figure out. Okay. So I got it. I've
not an attorney. However, I would have argued that, you know, while this is wrong, and at the time,
you know, Marriott has probably this particular one and probably corporate as well has, you know,
up their security. Really, you know, he, they,
didn't think anything of it when he asked to get the room next to her.
He just, you know, oh, yeah, it was fine.
Which, you know, so security-wise, I mean, I'm sure that's been stopped,
or at least you're going to get questioned and want to know why and what have you.
And, in fact, if you were to specifically ask to be next to someone, we better be family,
I would guess.
and I don't know that
but I would argue
that this actually helped her career
and she would say
I'm out of my mind
and her dad would say
Jeff you've lost your mind
my daughter has suffered
greatly and I got it
I understand
and I thought it was horrible
I mean I got it
but it's worth
$75 million dollars
that's a lot of money
$75 million
$25 million dollars
it's a lot of money
for anyone.
Anyone comes into $75 million.
That's a lot of money.
You can quote me on that, by the way.
That's correct.
$75 million.
Dollars.
That would help a lot out of the
infliction of the
infliction of a
emotional distress, invasion of privacy, and the negligence of Marriott. That would help me get
through it quite a bit. No doubt about it. This is the Blaze Radio Network 888-98-903-93 is the phone number.
So, Aaron, I hope you make it through it okay. I really do. I want you to
get everything that you deserve, and if it's $75 million, God bless you.
I got it. I hope you do. I hope you make it through.
And I'm sure you'll be okay. I'm sure you'll come out okay.
Okay. Good news out of California. Smoking age.
21 years of age now. Yay. Well, they approved a bill.
California lawmakers approved the bill that would raise tobacco purchase age to
21. Yay! Including restrictions on electronic cigarettes. Why is the big deal? I mean, look, I smoked forever,
you know, and would it have mattered if the age was 18 or 21 when I started smoking in, you know, the teens?
no, not a chance.
I guess it would have made a difference.
They were probably, and it would have made a difference on that I couldn't have gotten them.
You know, they were making it more difficult for the younger people to get.
However, that having been said, the numbers are going down.
Right?
I mean, big tobacco numbers are way down.
declining sales in the U.S., you know, less and less people are taking up the habit of smoking.
You know, there's expanding their brand around the world in Southeast Asia and still in Europe.
But the expanding market is Southeast Asia for big tobacco.
Those hateful bastards.
Now, I'm trying to figure out what the deal is on electronic cigarettes, though, why that is.
that's so bad.
They've already banned them.
They've banned them in some places here in Texas, too, which is really, really weird.
I mean, there's Texas.
Most of the time, there are the electronic cigarettes that heat the liquid nicotine into vapor and you smoke it.
But a lot of the, a lot of times it's not, they're not, it's not even nicotine.
You know, it's flavored juice.
When you see there's a smoke shop not far from where I live,
and every time I go by there, you can see that full of smoke.
And the guy that runs it, he is one of those guys.
They see the pictures of all the vapors, and there's just a huge amount of smoke that they're blowing.
And it's really fascinating to watch for me.
I don't know why it just is.
But, I mean, the vaping is smoke.
Stop it.
I mean, if you don't like it, look, should the restaurant be able to say, hey, no electronic cigarettes and no smoking in this building?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And then I can make the choice whether I want to go in there or not.
should the government say no?
You know, the argument is that, you know, public health is important.
My argument is I'll decide.
How about that government?
This is the Blaze Radio Network.

Is the Jeff Fisher Show?
That it is. Welcome to it.
888-90-0-33-93 is the phone number.
You can follow me on Twitter at Jeff E.MRA.
Like my Facebook page, Jeff Fisher Radio, or you can follow me on Instagram as well, Jeff E.MRA.
You should do that.
Many times it is well worth the price of admission.
If you think at any time that the Supreme Court doesn't matter yesterday,
the Supreme Court knocked down a Louisiana law that could have shut down all but one abortion clinic in the state.
7 to 1 vote, Clarence Thomas, the dissenter.
They wanted to require abortion providers to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals,
which they were saying would close down all these abortion clinics.
uh... if you think uh... the texas law is going to stand up because uh... they
apparently
voted on the texas case
uh... before issuing the louisiana order
i guess we're not going to know the outcome of that
until
summer
so i'm not sure why
uh... uh... they've got it right their opinions at the sent out of care i
do know why
but uh...
the texas law wants you know you have to be closer to a hospital
hospital which shuts down clinics and you have to have pretty close. I'm not sure if they worded it the same.
There might be a wording issue, so the Texas law might be okay. But good luck with that.
So those of you think that Supreme Court doesn't matter, it does. And an example, another example, before we leave this broadcast hour of the mind of Jeff Fisher.
So I see a story going down rabbit holes that are just, you know, I wander off.
I see a story about radio hosts, hiccups lead to serious diagnosis.
So the sports radio guy, Big Daddy Graham, 94 whip, had about with hiccups that would not go away.
So he finally got treated, and apparently the hiccups are gone.
And, of course, once that happens, you get bombarded with, you know, suggestions of, you know, hold your breath, lean upside down, drink water, hold your breath, you know, whatever.
But apparently he was diagnosed with arterial fibrelation, also known as aphib, an abnormal heart rhythm.
Okay, and that was affected his breathing and so on.
And then I remember, I think, oh, you know, when I was on the air in Tampa, we interviewed the girl that had the hiccups for what seemed to be months, but weeks for sure.
And she, you know, I mean, she wouldn't stop.
We had her in the studio, and she was still hiccuping in the studio.
And I think, oh, yeah, I wonder, you know, I wonder what happened to her.
I look up, Jennifer, me, the hiccup girl from Tampa Bay.
She's in prison for murder.
So, I don't know what it means.
I don't know if the radio host needs to be watch himself.
I don't know what it means.
It just means that I was like, oh my gosh, I didn't realize that she was in prison for murder.
So the hiccups cause murder.
I don't know.
This is the Jeff Fisher show.
Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
It 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 it on the Blaze Radio Network.
Yes.
Technically and literally phoning it in today.
I know some of you are saying, hey, why did you just stay home?
You should have come into the studio.
Well, some days you just don't feel like leaving the house.
Perhaps someday I can have a lawsuit that will give me $75 million,
and I will never have to leave the house.
Michael Pelkin coming up live from CPAC immediately following this broadcast,
and then this afternoon, Chris Salcedo, Mike Slater, and Joe Paggs,
all live on the Blaze Radio Network.
888-903 is the phone number, and you follow me on Twitter, Jeff B.M.R.A.,
Facebook, Jeff Fisher, Radio, and Instagram.
Jeffrey M.R.A. So here in Dallas, Texas, we talk a lot about the future and what's going to happen,
what you're going to be able to use, what you're going to need to survive to at least be relevant in the future.
Well, one of the things that's coming is virtual reality.
And I'm almost there.
I'm about ready to get, I love Samsung products and the new Samsung.
There's a deal that they have now that will come with their virtual reality glasses for their phone.
And I am about two seconds away from getting that.
I want that in my life.
But in Dallas, well, okay, sorry Arlington. Arlington, you know, the place where the Dallas Cowboys play, Six Flags, over Texas, is launching an all-new ride.
The New Revolution, Virtual Reality Coaster.
The New Revolution, Virtual Reality Coaster.
Welcome to the New Revolution.
Riders get headsets.
Oh, maybe at the end we hope we have some sort of disinfecting lotion we put on the headsets.
Riders will get headsets and send them into a 360-degree virtual world synced up with the roller coaster.
Come on now.
It sounds like fun.
Let's hear the promo.
Experience the incredibly immersive world of virtual reality.
Now for the first time on a roller coaster at 50,000.
roller coaster at 55 miles per hour.
Fly high above the city in a futuristic jet fighter plane.
Performed daring aerobatic maneuvers at up to 5.9 Gs, darting between buildings and excream aerial moves.
Loop at over heels as you battle the alien forces to destroy the mothership and save the planet.
Season pass holders and members try to get it.
We'll get it starting March 10th.
open to the public March 26th.
I mean,
makes it almost worth going to six flags,
because six flags has been,
I want to say,
I don't know if they've been struggling,
but they've not,
you know,
really worth going there for a while.
But it's right over there by the stadiums.
You've got the baseball, the football stadiums, and six flags.
It's right there in Arlington.
So that's coming to a theme park.
Coming to a theme park near you.
The New Revolution.
Sounds fun.
It actually sounds like it'll be a fun ride.
But an example of what is coming.
Here's a story I've had in my show file for a while,
and it ties into the virtual reality story a little bit about what we're heading for in the future.
because I read a story earlier this week about how the future of the bank branch is in trouble
because the millennials are not going to the bank.
When's the last time you actually went to the bank?
Walked into the bank.
I mean, it's been months for me.
And I'm trying to, it's probably been months as I've actually gone.
to the drive-through as well, let alone inside the bank.
I can't remember how long it's been since I've gone inside a bank branch, because banking is done
online, right? And you've become comfortable with it. And so the bank branches are in dire
trouble. I mean, the last time I went in, actually the last time I went in, I do remember
going in because they had cookies and they had popcorn and there was free coffee.
And I was thinking, man, I mean, it was a lot of used car sale.
What are they buying used cars?
And everybody was really nice, said hello, talk to you, took care of you.
Everybody was really nice, probably because I was the one person of the day.
There were other people in there just joking.
But, I mean, they're trying to at least get you in there, right?
At least you say, oh, if I stop by the bank, I can have a cookie or I can have some coffee.
But usually, I would say that if you're going inside the bank, you're there for whatever transaction,
whatever piece of business you need.
And you're not thinking, I think I'll just sit out and have a cup of coffee.
and maybe watch the news channel.
They've got up on the screen there, scrolling the headlines, and drink a coffee.
And, yes, you know, doggone it, Bill, I will have one of those chocolate chip cookies.
They look good.
Kids, why don't you go get one of those free suckers up there by the counter?
And we'll just hang out here for a while.
That doesn't happen.
So get ready for that.
Times they are a changing.
And one of the things that they are changing is Microsoft.
We've talked a lot about robots on the show.
I'm fascinated by robots.
And I'm fascinated how far they've come.
And really, I think we're farther along when people actually realize.
I mean, we're seeing robots now doing the work of humans,
but really there are, you know, it takes a few humans to make sure they work.
they actually do what they're supposed to do.
But they're working now where they'll be able to program them
and it will take, you know, one human, you know, on an eight-hour shift,
so, you know, how many, the robot can work 24 hours a day.
So you can have one human overseeing 50 robots.
How many robots are going to take for you to oversee to become,
viable financially, really viable, probably not many.
Certainly not 50, and 50 would probably be a boom financially.
But one of the things that we learned in one of the studies that we talked about on the show,
I don't know, a year or so ago, is that people are comfortable,
people, humans are comfortable with robots that are perceived as robots, right?
can have a robot into my house, and I know, if I know it's a robot, no problem. The robot can
bring me stuff. The robot can turn on the lights. The robot can do whatever. The robot can talk to me,
but I'm okay with it as long as because I know it's a robot. I know it's not a human. But where
people have a problem is when the robot tries to pass off as human, and if they haven't developed it
enough to make you think it's human.
You know, and you still to this day know,
when they're trying to pass it off as human, it's not.
Something isn't right.
It's just off.
You're not sure what it is.
I mean, they're getting pretty good at making it so you're not sure what it is,
but you know something is not right.
So you're already on the defensive.
you're not comfortable
because you know that
whatever that thing is and ain't human
and something off with it
well Microsoft
has been conducting
a touring test
in China
and it's gone relatively
unnoticed
it's a test that
looks to see if a human can detect whether
the entity answering the question is a human
or a computer
right? I mean that's the test
now they're doing it over you know over the phone over the computer it's a thing called
shall ice little big and it's used by millions of people in China every day okay and they talk to it
and it talks to people.
If a user sends a picture of a broken ankle,
Shao Ice will reply with a question asking how much pain and the injury caused.
Chinese users were telling Shao Ish that they loved it.
Okay?
It's been used by 10 million people now,
and it's been, you know, whatever it's helped with,
people are saying 25% of those people are telling it,
I love you.
So they are close, close to having those robots that are going to seem really human.
And I don't know that, you know, I think I like it better, you know, obviously, you know,
if it's, if you know it's a robot, I'm kind of on that study plan.
I got you.
Okay, I know it's a robot.
Okay, no problem.
I can do that.
I'm okay with the robot doing everything as long as I know it's a robot.
And I know the United Nations has been having a huge issue and get to worry about, you know, robot wars and the big rich countries are making robots to put in battle.
And I would venture that that is closer than we think.
Why not?
Why wouldn't we do that?
And don't, you know, it's going to kill everybody.
No.
If you're going to be in the war zone, you will have something on you in you so the robot knows.
I don't have to, I'm not hurting that person.
I'm not hurting that thing.
Anything else I'm taking care of.
I mean, fascinating.
Fascinating.
And now, you know, one of the things that being talked about is what you need for the future,
If we're looking at 30 to 50 years of at least 50% of the jobs, going away to robots,
you know, every day of the mundane jobs, according to this, you're going to need, you know,
three components for your kids or for that matter.
Cognitive skills, like basic numeracy and literacy, including digital literacy,
advanced problem solving, creative, critical thinking skills, social and behavioral skills like
conscientiousness, grit, and openness to experience.
Technical skills, engineer, electrician, cognitive, social, emotional skill starts in childhood,
so get them started early.
I'll post this story online so you have an idea of what you need to look forward to in the future.
but it is, it's coming.
It's coming soon.
Do I want robot wars?
No.
Not even close to I want robot wars.
But do I want a robot
cleaning my house
so my wife and my children
and I can spend more time together
rather than cleaning and cooking?
Absolutely.
This is the Jeff Fisher show on the Blaze Radio Network.
Here we go.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
Go returns on the Blaze Radio Network.
Welcome to it.
888-90-3-33 is the phone number.
So my main man, Scott Kelly, the astronaut, back on Earth.
And I say my main man, because a few months ago,
my wife was looking at some pictures on Instagram from Scott.
And I thought, oh, those are cool.
And she said, yeah, he's going to spend a year in space.
So for the past, you know, months, I've been following this guy on Twitter and Instagram, Scott Kelly, the year in space.
And he has posted some fascinating stuff.
And so then I wanted to find out a little bit more about his year in space, what he's doing, right?
Because he's been in space.
Well, the year in space was 340 days, his year in space, his technical year in space for NASA.
so was 340 days in a row.
Now, he's racked up 520 days total in space,
which makes him the longest, most days in space as an American.
I think there's one or two Russian cosmonauts
that have spent more time in space.
But anyway, so he's had a year in space,
and he was documenting pictures and posts
and doing interviews, and I would love,
I would have loved to have interviewed him from the space station,
but if I get an opportunity on this broadcast to interview Scott,
you will definitely hear from him
because I think he is fascinating the study that he was doing for NASA
with the year in space,
and he had a twin brother,
former astronaut as well, here on Earth.
So, you know, they're documenting between the brothers
to see the difference of, you know, year in space, you're on Earth,
what happens, blood, everything.
So he's back.
And he did an interview at Johnson Space Center.
And it was fascinating.
One of the things he said was the only big surprise was how long a year is.
It seemed like I lived there forever.
His twin brother said every time I would talk to my brother, I'd say,
a year's going by quickly.
He'd say, no, it's not.
I'm up here in this little space station.
But he said he's surprised how tired and sorry he is now that he's been back on Earth.
He felt better just after landing than he did after his six-month stint on the space station in 2010 and 2011.
His muscles and joints are aching this time around more.
and he said there's a burning sensation on his skin
because it hasn't had contact with anything
with surfaces and materials.
So sitting and standing
and sleeping are all really uncomfortable right now.
And he said adjusting to space is easier than adjusting to Earth.
And one of the things that I chuckled at
that I thought was fascinating was
in the story it talks about unlike other
returned astronauts who expected objects to float.
He said he hadn't dropped anything.
How used you get to doing things.
They become such habit that you'd be in your kitchen at the house,
said, you know, let go of the coffee cup, let go of the water bottle,
and guess what?
It's not going to float.
It's going to go to the ground.
It's called gravity.
He said he missed.
He got home.
He wanted to jump in the pool.
I know there's a video.
You can go to his Twitter account and follow him,
and he shows him falling in the pool.
He wanted to get home and jump in the pool in Houston.
So he played basketball.
Even worse, he shot basketball, missed it.
Glad to be home.
And he said that he loved the fact that he has running water,
again and
amenities more than
the space station. So it's good to have
Scott Kelly back on Earth.
Welcome back, Scott.
Thank you. And
I don't know. A year in space?
I think I could do
the year in space as the travel
to get where you're going that I couldn't do
because they put you in those enclosed
spaces, man.
It's rocket's a little call.
The Jeff Fisher Show.
The Blaze Radio Network.
The Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
Oh my gosh, it is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
Now, I know some of you are my Twitter account at Jeffrey MRA commenting that possibility that I'm broadcasting from prison
because it sounds like I'm talking to you over a phone.
Well, a couple of things I'd like to respond to.
One, if I were talking to you over the phone from a place of incarcerated,
It would be jail.
Okay.
Prison and jail are two different things.
All right.
Just so you know.
If you don't know the difference, it will come up.
Okay.
Second, I am talking to you from over the phone because there was some technical difficulties today.
And I didn't want to just give you just because I was angry saying, oh, my gosh, there's not a real connection, a radio connection between Dallas and
New York, I could have said, that's it, and walked away.
Walked away.
So I've had enough.
I've had enough.
Okay, I can't work like this.
I can't.
I could have done that.
But instead, instead, because of you.
I calm down.
And I looked to my right and I said, oh my gosh, there's a hardline telephone right there.
I bet I could call New York
and they could bring me up
through the broadcast facility board
and I could talk to you
and we could be together
and it's most important that we just be together right
I know
it sounds better over a microphone
but I'm sorry okay
I'm sorry
now we talk a little bit about Scott Kelly
and NASA and then
the last segment
and how cool it was that he spent all the time in space.
But NASA is now hiring people for a fascinating study,
and no, it's not 340 days in space.
However, it is similar to being in space.
Okay?
And you get to do a couple of different things, which is really cool.
70 days, you can sign up to do this NASA study.
You ready?
You have to spend it's for 70.
straight days, 70 days.
And you think to yourself, 70 days, I can do something for 70 straight days.
And you'd get $18,000.
So that's kind of cool, right?
You think, yeah, I can do something.
For 70 days for 18,000?
All right, I can do that.
A lot of people out of work.
A lot of people don't make that much in 70 days.
So, okay, let's do it.
Well, you have to be in bed and you have to smoke different kinds of pot.
Now, the smoking different kinds of pot, I'm thinking is a bonus.
But the 70 straight days in bed, ooh, that's a tough one.
That is a tough one because the bed is kind of the feet are up a little and the head is back a little bit.
And the study is to analyze the, you know, how you react in space, the process.
They want to analyze your ability to perform certain tasks, your mental state.
And there's going to be two groups of participants.
There's going to be the exercising participants and the non-exercising participants.
And you think to yourself, hey, I'd rather be in the non-exercising participants.
exercising group, wrong.
I don't think you would be.
Because you'd have to lay on that bed for 70 days.
70 stinking days.
Okay?
I mean, that's a long time to lay down.
And you've still got to do your business,
and you've got to smoke dope,
and you've got to perform tasks,
and you have to stay in the bed.
So is that worth $18,000?
Not for me, it's not.
Let me worth that for someone.
Now the exercising group, you get to get up and move around the room,
the space, whatever they have you in.
But there you go.
Contact NASA if you want to do the Bed Rest Studies program
for 70 days and 70 nights, 70 straight days.
in bed, smoking pot. Okay. All right. No problem. Now, one of a, there's a couple of big stories. First of all, the OJ. Simpson story, plastered everywhere.
Police officer, according to the story, which brings the OJ. case back up, right? The OJ. case comes back up, which is fascinating that it comes back up because now they've got the FX
mini series of the People
versus OJ, right?
With the
Cuba Gooding Jr.
And I'm going
to have to watch it, I guess. I don't know that I was
ready for it. I didn't think I
was ready for it, but
I kind of am now, I think.
And I actually
have a theory.
Now, I just thought of this.
Looking at this story,
because yesterday the story broke about
the O.J. Simpson and the knife.
And what happened was is that apparently they were doing construction on OJ's property,
and a guy finds a knife, right?
He finds a knife.
And he says, oh, my gosh, this is a knife on OJ's property.
And he goes out and he finds the first police officer he could find who was off duty at the time,
but in the neighborhood as part of some kind of security thing for a film that was being filmed.
And so he gives it to the cop and says, hey, this was on OJ's property,
found it out and the cop takes it.
Well, apparently the cop just deep pocketed it
and kept it all this time.
And now it's been rediscovered.
And it's still, you know, apparently had some kind of
blood on a dirt, whatever.
And so, you know, they've got this big deal
and the O.J. Simpson is, you know, back in the news.
And they can't.
It's found not guilty.
I can't retry that case.
Sorry.
Then I know he was guilty.
He had to pay out his money.
Now he's in prison because he's guilty.
I know I got all that.
But they found him not guilty in the original case.
We all remember that, right?
So now you've got the FX miniseries,
Hubea Jr., playing O.J.
And it's a big mini-series.
And I listened to an interview with him not long ago about this,
and it sounds fascinating about him playing OJ.
And so as I'm reading the story, I look down, and then there's another story on the O.J. Simpson show.
And it says the People versus O.J. Simpson is the rare basic cable show that uses the F word.
Why is it allowed to do that is the story headline?
Well, first of all, because it's cable.
Okay. Now, they usually impose, you know, the word police, but a lot of times they don't have to,
and that whole censorship of cable is self-imposed a lot of it.
I guess, you know, some of it has not been tried in the courts with the FCC, but it's radio and
network television that adheres to those.
If I'm paying for something, which is cable TV, I'm paying for it,
I mean, you can do what you want.
It's not community standards.
I'm paying you to provide me entertainment.
If I don't like it, I'll go away.
You know, the word police on this network, you know,
that's really, except for the,
Glenn Beck radio program.
I'm trying to think of any other shows on the network.
Well, Joe Pags.
Mike Slater does as well.
So is Chris Slettoe, a broadcast on regular radio along with the Blaze Radio Network.
Really, the Blaze Radio Network, we could say whatever we want.
And you'll go away because you'll be offended.
So, you know, we don't do it.
And that's not what we try to do anyway.
We don't, you know, that's, it's okay.
But really, technically, we could do that.
I mean, it's, like I said, a stupid too.
But anyway, my new theory, I got sidetracked on the word police
because the word police drive me crazy.
But so a new series comes out, right?
The People versus O.J., O.J. Simpson.
And I'm thinking, and I wonder if many people felt like I do.
Oh, my gosh.
Sorry about O.J.
are we ready for that?
I mean, I got it's been 20 years.
Just think of that.
I feel like a dinosaur with that.
It's been 20 years since O.J.
I don't know that I'm ready to sit through, you know,
give a good being OJ.
And we know we still, you know, the juice, man.
He was talking about a guy falling from grace, man.
He was the top of the world.
And he fell from grace.
And now, you know, he's in prison.
I feel like he's in prison now because, you know,
Everybody thought he should be in prison for the murder,
plural.
And so they went really hard on him over trying to get his stuff back with the gun and the robbery.
You know, so he's in prison.
I got it, whatever.
But I wasn't really ready to sit through a case about O.J.
Now, now all of a sudden, this mystery knife shows up that could possibly be
from the OJ property and maybe the knife that OJ used,
and OJ Simpson is back in the news,
and the case is back in the news,
and people are interested in the OJ Simpson case,
and, oh, my gosh, they're able to watch the FX show
the people versus OJ Simpson.
Ha! That's it.
That's exactly what it is.
The nice is just a promo piece for the show.
Oh, my gosh.
I've been had.
I've been had.
This is the Blaze Radio Network.
This is
The Jeff Fisher Show.
On the Blaze Radio Network.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show.
That it is on the Blaze Radio Network, yes.
Talking to you live over the technology that is so unbelievable.
It's called a phone line.
Michael Pelka.
It's going to be broadcast.
live from CPAC this morning, immediately following this broadcast,
and then you're going to have Chris Seltado, Mike Slater, and Joe Pags coming up today
all Saturday on the Blaze Radio Network.
And then, you know, there's no reason really to go anywhere else.
I mean, heck, you've got Sundays, and then you've got Monday to Friday with, you know, Doc and Skip,
some guy named Glenn Beck, who wants to stab his producer, Buck Sexton,
Jay Severin, Pat and Steele, all in the Blaze Radio Network.
I hate to remind everyone.
I know that they were having such a big fit yesterday after the show,
after the radio show about Glenn wanting to stab Trump.
No, it wasn't true.
I'm glad we finally got that straight.
By the end of the day yesterday, they finally got it straight after Stu set them straight.
Thank you, Stu.
We all knew that he was talking about stabbing Stu.
in fact
that was going into a break
and we laughed
a pat
stew and myself
laughed
off air
because I was happy
that Glenn
actually threatened
Stu and not me
I've had my life
threatened several times
more than once
during the broadcast
it's
part of the show
and perhaps
the people should actually listen to the show.
But that doesn't matter.
They don't want to listen to the show.
What they want to do is make Glenn look bad and evil and wrong
and just give the big headline.
So the rest of you, I mean, for that, you can all just rot where you could rot.
You hear me?
Yeah.
I did censor myself there because of the word bullies.
But you know exactly what I meant.
Okay.
It's agonizing.
I can't believe.
Stu said it in one of his posts yesterday,
and I'm going to reiterate that here now.
I can't believe that we have to stick up for our host
because he was saying he was going to stab us,
him,
and I'm pretty sure that you know as well as anyone else
that Glenn wouldn't talk about stabbing
any person running for president of the United States.
Agonizing.
And speaking of running for the president of the United States,
one of the biggest stories on my Facebook page,
Miley Cyrus,
vows to move if Donald Trump is elected president.
And my first reaction was,
you know, what's happening now, Miley?
Is there an issue?
because you can go.
I got news for you.
I'm not missing you.
Okay, if you want to move,
don't let that whole Donald Trump election stop you,
or don't wait for that.
And that's almost worth it for me to think
that Donald could win if you were to move,
but I don't really want that to happen.
So, Molly, just go, because it could happen.
But that's what, really, you should just go away because it could happen.
All right.
Opelka coming up live from CPAC.
Have a great week.
Next week, hopefully I'll be out of jail.
And I can talk to you over a microphone.
That'll be wonderful.
And I've got to tell you, though, nobody's told you, you look great today.
This is the Jeff Fisher show.
Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
