You're listening to The Jeff Fisher Show. The experiment was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program. Now. Stand clear. It's signed stable. It's alive. Set it loose.

This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Hello. happy fall. Yes, it's fall. Thursday morning, it's switched over, just like a light switch. Boom. Hello, summer to fall. Of course, if you live in Texas where I live, you had no idea because just around the corner is the surface of the sun.

No matter which way you turn, surface of the sun. But hey, it is fall in perhaps. Perhaps it'll cool down in some of the warmer states around the country soon. Welcome to the show. Thanks for coming along for the ride today. A lot of, a lot, a lot of stuff to get to today. First and foremost, let's, we'll start with the big story, but I want to talk about that. I want to go into, we're going to go in-depth next hour and get your,

thoughts and see exactly how you feel. Wow, was there a lot of emotion yesterday over this headline? I'll read you the headline and then I'll read a little bit to you, but we'll go into depth next hour because it is absolutely amazing to me. The headline says, actually it doesn't say it reads. Cruz makes it official endorses former rival Trump. That's the headline. In a lengthy Facebook post Friday afternoon,

Cruz said that he will cast his vote in November for Trump after many months of careful consideration of prayer and searching his own conscience. I've made this decision for two reasons. First, last year I promised to support the Republican nominee that I intend to keep my word. Second, even though I have had areas of significant disagreement with our nominee, and I would, no, I'm not going to comment, I'm just reading you what he said. Even though I've had areas of significant disagreement with our nominee, by any measure, Hillary Clinton is wholly unacceptable.

That's why I have always been, never Hillary. The Texas Senator continued to lay out six key policy differences that informed his. decision to eventually vote for the man he once referred to as utterly immoral and a pathological liar. These policy issues included the Supreme Court, National Security, the Affordable Care Act, Immigration, Energy, and Internet Freedom. Now, did he endorse Donald Trump? Well, in a sense, yeah, he did. Although he didn't say I endorse Donald Trump and I am a Trumpster. and Donald Trump is the man,

he did say that he would cast his vote for Donald Trump, which I am absolutely amazed. I didn't think he would do it. I didn't think he would do it. So if you have some comments about that, next hour, 888-903.33. I'll take your comments. We'll read some of the Facebook posts,

some of the tweets, amazing. We'll talk to Steve Day. who was, you know, one of the biggest anti-Trump guys and pro-cruz guys. And it's been almost 24 hours that we've had the news. And we'll see how Steve is now digesting the news. I'm guessing, just guessing, that yesterday he didn't, hadn't even eaten it. He was sick. so we'll see if he's actually put some down today and felt a little bit better.

We'll read the entire Facebook post from Senator Cruz and let you know exactly, you know, what he had to say and how he feels. And I can tell you that I, man, I didn't think he'd do it. I didn't think he should do it. I think it's a mistake. But hey, that's just me. Now, of course, we have the Donald Trump-Hillary Clinton debate coming up Monday, the first one. I've got to tell you, the only reason I'm looking forward to it is it's kind of like, you know how you watch traffic go by and you think, man, if there was an accident right now, I'd just sit here and watch the accident. That's kind of where I'm at.

It's kind of a boxing match. you watch the boxing match and sure there's skill and sure you want to see dancing around and sure you want to see both boxers you know throw a couple of punches and you know get themselves straightened out but really you're waiting for one boxer just to smash the other boxer

and that's what I'm waiting to see I want to see if one can do it I got to tell you I don't know if there's going to be any boxing smashes with each other. I don't know if the gloves will come off. I don't know if we'll leave the gloves on. The most important thing is this debate Monday

is going to be divided into six segments about 15 minutes each on major topics selected by NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt. I think Lester is going to surprise people. I think he's going to take the bull by the horns this bad boy. It's going to be at Hofster University. University in New York. It was supposed to be in Ohio, but Wright State University said, you know what, this is going to cost us too much money. Have a nice day. We can't do this.

So Hofstra said, now we got it. Now, the moderator, Lester Holt, will open up each segment with a question, and each candidate gets two minutes to respond. The candidates will then have an opportunity to respond to each other, and of course, Lester will use the balance of the time of the segment for a deeper discussion on the topic. Most importantly, there are no commercial breaks scheduled. Scheduled. So maybe they put in an emergency cough light commercial light button on the podium. So if a candidate is starting to feel they need a break, they push that button,

and NBC goes, this is NBC News, and they go to a break. and they go to a promo or they show the camera outside and say, this is what's going out of New York now. And they break away from the stage. I don't know. But one thing that Trump is good at,

he'll get enough rest, he'll be up there, and he'll be standing strong. He proved that. He's proven that. Hillary, not so much. She needs to come through with flying colors and look like she's ready to go another 12 rounds when it's over.

Because if she gets, I mean, any kind of woozy, any kind of coughing attack, anything, it's over for her. Trump will, I mean, the only saving grace is this could be where Al Gore steps in. Right? If she goes down, if she's woozy, you know, if we hear Donald Trump go, you don't look so good, we need to get you a chair and goes and gets her a chair or something to sit down on, which would be fantastic to watch. I don't wish any bad madness on Hillary. I don't want her to be sick. I don't want her to be any of that. But she is.

I think we all know that. After that little 9-11 attack where they carried her into the van, wow. That is not good. Okay. And I really am still confused at why she wants to be president if she's sick. I have personally dealt with an elderly and other elderly human beings in my life, aside from myself. And I know that look. And I know that I can't walk look.

and I know that I'm going to need to help and almost carry look and feeling. And she had it at the 9-11 fall, let alone watching some of the other pictures that have come out as they're, you know, walking up the stairs. The one shot was they're walking up the stairs and everybody is watching her feet go on the stairs. Now, you know, they're supposed to take care of her. I got it. But nobody wants her trip and fall. but most of the time if a human is considered healthy going up a small flight of stairs doesn't get the full-on attention of everyone looking at your feet to climb the stairs that comes from people

who are used to seeing that human being have trouble with stairs and I am well aware of that situation. So I hope they have her all IVed up, all throat lozaged up. They ought to have an IV with water in one arm and an IV with throat lousage anti-cough syrup in the other and just have her

ballooned up with that juice. And then put her in a NASCAR suit so that she can, she doesn't have to go to the bathroom. None of it. so you can just stand there and look strong because man oh man one wobble

I mean I know that most of you believe that cancels wobble and don't fall down but if cancels wobbles at all on this debate it could be over that's devastating for her

devastating so it'll be fun to watch I am looking forward to it I'm not necessarily looking forward to hearing what they have to say oh dear Lord Do I not care what they say? I do kind of care what they say.

I don't want to hear it really because they both are leading us down past. I don't want to go down. So we'll see. I mean, Monday's the big one. You have the, you know, October 4th, you've got the vice presidential debate, and then you've got two or three other debates scheduled in October. But if she, if Cankel's wife. and falls down on this coming Monday.

By October 9th, Donald Trump made debating Al Gore. Let me step in Al and say, Al, we need you and you're going to be running for president. You're going to step in. Al would put up a fight, although now people are probably will say, Jeff, it's not going to be Al Gore. It's going to be Joe Biden. Okay. Okay. Whatever you think.

but somebody, one of those two guys are going to step in. It's not going to be Elizabeth Warren. It's got to be somebody that's known, strong, and can stand up to Donald Trump. And those two men, Al Gore and Joe Biden, are the two that can do it. And it might be too late because Donald will be able to play that off as. Nice to see the second team showing up tonight. He is going to drop. these guys. I'm telling you.

Just, you can quote me, if cancels even wobbles, let alone falls. On Monday night? It is over. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher show. The Blaze Radio Network. Hey, this is Jeff Fisher. Let me tell you about this,

You can follow me on Twitter at Jeff E.MRA. Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, and Instagram at Jeff EMRA. Now, of course, we're here Saturday morning, and what happens on Friday?

What happens on Fridays? Oh, I know. The government just, they just release information, hoping that it just goes away over the weekend. Well, 189 pages. The FBI released includes some of Clinton's closest AIDS. Yes, that's correct. FBI officials released 189 pages from its year-long investigation of the Hillary Clinton email controversy. And we find out in this particular Friday dump, President Barack Obama used a pseudonym in

email communications with Hillary Clinton and others, according to the FBI records. Huh. More released was some of Clinton's closest AIDS. Uma Abidine, Cheryl Mills, and even Marcel Luzar. Ah, yes. Oh, that's right. Gucifer. Oh, what?

You shared communication with the hacker, Gucifer? Oh, that's all. I worry about it. I love the, in an April 5th, 2016 interview with the FBI, Abedine was showed an email exchange between Clinton and Obama, but the longtime Clinton aide did not recognize the name of the sender. Once informed that the sender's name is believed to be the pseudonym used by the president, Ume explained how is this not classified? Ebene then expressed her amazement at the president's use of a pseudonym and asked if she could have a copy of the email.

So even the right hand, how is this not classified? Now, Guesifer said that he never hacked the Clinton server, but he said it in a Fox News interview that he had hacked the Clinton. server. Then he says now he lied on the Fox News interview. Okay. Okay. No problem. I believe you now. Will this come to haunt Hillary? Certainly doesn't look like it. How is this going to affect the debate? Can Trump use the information? Maybe. maybe he can wiggle it in a little bit. But since he, you know, we'll see if he actually, if he actually, you know, studies a little bit.

He gets ready for the debate, a little practice. He, from time to time, thinks he's too good and doesn't need to do that. So, you know, maybe he doesn't. Earlier in the week, we found out that the inspector general's office found out that 858 individuals from the special interest countries. Those are countries that are threats to the nation. Those 858 should have been deported. They were granted citizenship.

Now, when you think to yourself, what 858? Yeah, not so fast. Gosh darn it. An additional 953 individuals that the Inspector General couldn't determine if there was a problem with the fingerprint record specifically. So those should have been deported as well. Yeah, so the total is now 1,811 individuals granted citizenship who should not have been. 1,811 individuals. And if you're the Gary into the numbers guy,

11 is the last set of numbers, and then 1 plus 8 plus 1 equals 11. Holy crap, it's a double 11. The Department of Homeland Security responded to the report. You know, we'll review all the 1811 individuals. out of an abundance of caution. You think? You think?

Ugh, these freaking people. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to it. How are you? Good to see you. Thanks for coming along for the ride today.

And follow me on Twitter at Jeff. MRA. All right. So let's go around the country and just kind of touch on what's happening around the country. Don't forget we have the NYC, New Jersey bombings. Some of the headlines for that are the bombing suspects family may have also had pro-jihadist views. No kidding. My favorite, one of a couple of really cool stories.

They're not really cool stories. just fascinating stories from the events was the suitcase and the backpack. Yeah, times are not tough at all when you have a suitcase sitting on the sidewalk and people come along and go, man, that's a nice looking suitcase. I don't care what's in it. Let's open it up. Nah, it's just some kind of pressure cooker or something. Throw that thing away.

I want the suitcase and walk off with it. Yeah. Yeah. How many times have you said to yourself as you walk down the street? That's a suitcase here. Man, that's a nice looking suitcase. Although, I will say, I probably would have looked myself. Those are the times when you see stuff like that and you think, that's the suitcase of money from the drug lords I could take.

When you see those bags and suitcases on the side of the road, I mean, that's tough not to stop to look. because if that's the bag of money, that's the one for you. And then, of course, the homeless guy with the backpack. Rattle my candle or something. I don't know what those are. It's a nice looking backpack, though. Okay. Thank you.

And then we have the Tulsa shooting. Police officers being charged. We'll see how that comes out. And then you have the Charlotte unrest and the shooting. There's new video from the wife, or said to be his wife, the man who died in Charlotte. I have to tell you, I just watched, I didn't watch the entire video, but I just started watching some of the video on Theblaze.com from the cell phone footage. It does not make the police look bad at all. I'm sorry.

I know the person behind the phone. I didn't listen to the audio. They have captions underneath. And the caption is, he better effing live. I can't believe. I ain't going nowhere. I'm in the same damn spot.

He better not effing die. And the close caption on the video that I watched also, you hear the police. She is yelling. He ain't got no gun. She's yelling for him to get out of the car and roll down the window and don't let the police break the window. And she's saying he ain't got no gun. The police are saying put down the gun. Put down the gun.

But why let the facts get in the way of a good riot? Right? Ah! Don't let the facts bother you get in trouble with the... No, no, no. No. A black man was shot by the police, so let's riot. Is that where we're at?

Really? Was that where we're at? Okay. All right. And then we get this news out of Massachusetts. Massachusetts court rules black men may have good reason to flee police. Tuesday ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judiciary. judicial courts.

Said the Boston Police Department's record of bias against black men means that innocent black men may have legitimate reasons to flee from officers. Really? In other words, if a black man flees an approaching police officer, that wouldn't necessarily be enough to justify reasonable suspicion in stopping and interrogating him. Under the U.S. Constitution, reasonable suspicion is the minimum standard that allows law enforcement officers to conduct brief stops. and detentions. The court threw out the conviction of Jimmy Warren, who was arrested in 2011 on charges of unlawful possession of a firearm. Officers were searching suspects in a break-in, approached Warren and another man because they believed they fit the description of the suspects. The description was black men wearing dark clothing.

Warren fled. The officers pursued him on foot and arrested him. Though they found no evidence that he was involved in the break-in, then they did allegedly find an unlicensed firearm in his possession. The ruling found that Warren simply being a black man wearing dark clothing, which could apply to countless people in Boston, was not enough for officers to have reasonable suspicion to stop him. Additionally, the court ruled that Warren fleeing also was not cause for reasonable suspicion,

since there could be a good reason for an innocent black man to want to avoid Boston police. We do not eliminate flight as a factor in the reasonable suspicion analysis whenever a black male is the subject of an investigative stop. However, in such circumstances, flight is not necessarily probative of a substance, state of mind, consciousness or guilt. Rather, the finding that black males in Boston are disproportionately and repeatedly targeted for field interrogation and observation. These encounters suggest a reason for flight totally unrelated to consciousness of guilt. Such an individual, when approached by the police, might just as easily be motivated

by the desire to avoid the recurring indignity of being racially profiled as by the desire to hide criminal activity. That's where we're at. Now, never mind that the two men, Warren being one of them, was at the particular residence of the stop. That is unbelievable. Unbelievable. Anyone under the law is a right to not engage with police if the officers don't have reasonable suspicion to stop them. The problem is when a person refuses to engage, oftentimes law enforcement may decide the refusal is suspicious behavior.

That's true. It has a chance to profoundly influence policing in Massachusetts. It has a chance to profoundly protect people in Massachusetts from undue police violence. And it has a chance to influence decisions all over the country. That's no kidding. This will influence decisions all over the country. Because, look, such an individual. when approached by the police, might just, I mean, they might just as easily be motivated by

the desire to avoid the recurring indignity, the recurring indignity of being racially profiled as by the desire to hide criminal activity. Yes, you're just asking me about a crime because I'm black. has nothing to do with the neighborhood, the area of the crime. That will affect a lot around the country. I'd be ready for that because you can't talk to me. I'm just going to run. He's running. Let him go.

Hey, he's running. Let him go. Don't worry about it. He's running. Don't let him go. Don't worry about it. It's okay. They can flee the police now. I don't worry about it.

Good news. For those of you who have Yahoo email accounts, Yahoo accounts to purchase goods and services, a recent investigation by Yahoo Incorporated has confirmed that a copy of certain user account information was stolen from the company's network in late 2000. and 14. Oh, good, they're right on top of it. Only been a year and a half, almost two years. What believes is a state-sponsored actor. What do that could be?

The account information may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords, and a vast majority of... And in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers. The ongoing investigations suggest the stolen information did not include un-exemptive. Unprotected passwords. Payment card data or bank account information. Oh, that's good. Payment card data and bank account information are not stored in the system that the investigation has found to be effective. I mean, that's better than expected.

Based on the ongoing investigation, the aisle believes that information associated with at least 500 million user accounts. It has no evidence that the state-sponsored actor was currently in Yahoo's now. work. So it's just your email and your passwords. So I would just change your passwords, right? Because most people use the same passwords for the payment card data and the bank account information, even though it's not stored on that system. If they have some information, then they come in through another system. So good luck. God bless. For those of you that have Yahoo accounts, and for those of you that say to yourself, but, you know, it's been so long since I've had a Yahoo

account probably a couple of years yeah yep that's how long ago it was hope you changed your password this is the jeff fisher show on the breeze radio network jeff fisher show welcome to it 888 9000 33 93 is the phone number if you'd like to participate or you can follow me on twitter at jeff emrra and facebook jeff fisher radio Well, things have gotten worse for Anthony Weiner. And for those of you thinking to yourself, so. I mean, what's the guy going to do now? I mean, he's out of work.

He's out of marriage. He's got police in New York and North Carolina are looking into allegations that the former Democratic congressman exchanged sexually explicit texts and the pictures with a 15-year-old girl. We had the information that he carried on a month-long relationship with this North Carolina girl, this 15-year-old girl. We're not sure what charges he could face, but the FBI's task force is looking into it. They're reviewing the evidence. A source in the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office says that they, too, are investigating the case. This is fourth public sexting scandal. Don't forget last month, he sent the selfie of his crotch to a woman in the photo.

And his child was seen sleeping in the background. Now, as much of a dirt bag as Anthony Weiner is, I'll give him, you know, he did stop at that point. It was like, you know, if you remember right, he said, hey, I can't. And now, you know, somebody crawled into bed with me or whatever. And he sends the picture. I mean, it was meant, I think, more to show that he had the little one, crawled into bed with me, but whatever. He's such a dirtbag.

I hate to give him any kind of break. The wife is gone, right? Uma Abedine, have a nice day. In fact, she's the chairwoman of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. I haven't seen her around either. I mean, she's laying pretty low, too. Weiner lost his gig as a contributor to the New York Daily News and to the television channel, New York One. Good luck, God bless.

I don't know that there's anything he can do now. What is it? What is it that Anthony Wiener could do that you would say, that you would want to have his thoughts on? I don't know the answer to that. I really don't. I've thought about, well, what is it that Anthony Wiener? Because from time to time, you enjoyed it if you watch the documentary

and he would go on TV when he was running for mayor and he would be combative. And he's got, you know, he's got a little, you know, all his policies. And I believe that if he could have gotten some help, he probably would have been the perfect guy for the mayor of New York. Because as bad as he is, I don't think he's actually a all-out communist like de Blasio. But he's probably pretty close. But I don't think that he's 100% communist like de Blasio.

So he probably would not have been a bad. mayor for New York. However, not a lot of time to run the city when you're busy when you've got four or five people wind up that you have to sex with every day. Anthony, get help, bro. Seriously.

Just get some help. Get some help and then I don't know. Make some appearances. It makes some some strip club tours around the country to make some cash. You know, how to you can help some of the locals on helping them get through their sexting struggles.

I mean, what else are you going to do? I have no idea. Ted Cruz talk coming up. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. The experiment was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program. Now.

Stand clear. Life signs stable. It's alive. Set it loose. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome to it. All right, here's your chance. 888-90333.

Get it off your chest. Was it an endorsement or was it not? The headline, Cruz makes it official. endorses former rival Trump. That's the headline. In a lengthy Facebook post Friday afternoon, Cruz said that he will cast his vote in November for Trump. After many months of careful consideration and prayer and searching,

I've made this decision for two reasons. First, last year, I promised to support the Republican nominee, and I intend to keep my word. Second, even though I have had areas, of significant disagreement with our nominee. And that's very nicely put. Significant disagreement, areas of significant disagreement with our nominee. By any measure, Hillary Clinton is wholly unacceptable.

That's why I have always been. Never, Hillary. The Texas senator continued to lay out the state. six key policy differences that informed his decision to eventually vote for the man he once referred to as utterly amoral and a pathological liar. Those policy issues include the Supreme Court, national security, the Affordable Care Act, immigration, energy, and internet freedom. And it goes on. he continues with giving explanations of his six key policy differences and why he will vote for the Republican nominee. It is not a ringing endorsement.

I will give you that. Many people, including myself, did not think that Ted Cruz would do that. While I know that it's never Hillary, Hillary is bad. Uh, you know, so is Donald Trump? But is he as bad as Hillary? Apparently, Senator Cruz does not believe that. One of the biggest, um,

before we get to some Facebook reactions to, uh, the post of Ted Cruz endorsing or at least saying he was going to vote for Ted for Donald Trump, which there have been, uh, a lot of good and a lot of bad. Very interesting posts, I will say, on Twitter and Facebook, none the least of which came from Steve Days. You can check out Steve at stevedase.com. I'll post the link up at Jeffrey MRA and Jeff Fisher Radio.

Steve, joining me on the broadcast. Now, Steve, you've been one of the biggest voices against Donald Trump for quite some time. You've had almost 24 hours now, not quite. I'll give you it hasn't been a full day to digest everything that has taken place, and it really wasn't a full ringing endorsement. Have you digested it or are you still throwing up? Good morning, Jeff. The answer to your question is yes, all of the above.

You know, what's going to be fascinating about this movie? forward. And in this line of work, when you do what we do, and you try to do it honestly. And let's face it, a lot of people in our line of work don't try to do it honestly. They try to do it for themselves. Intellectual honesty is very difficult to sustain in this line of work. And I think it's really, it's not just because of temptations to sell out. It's really because we're human and we have relationships. And those relationships on one hand give you access that other people don't, so you know things they don't know. And that gives you an informed opinion they don't have. On the other hand, though, because of that relationship, maybe you project things on that person that they aren't or they're not capable of. And so, you know, it both confuses and clarifies at the same time. And I know Ted Cruz very well, and we are very good friends. And so on the political, for me, I look at, I've got to look at this two different ways.

On the one hand, politically, I mean everything that I wrote for conservative review yesterday. I wouldn't take back a word. In fact, I think the fallout yesterday might have been worse for this than I had feared. But I also have to recognize politically, and I think we all should, that up until this moment, the only politician I can think of that's a national leader. And we can debate whether Mike Lee has reached that level yet or not. And if he hasn't, he's rapidly approaching it. So you could probably put him in this group, too. Sure.

But the list of people who've never let us down, who always did the right thing when it was hard, up until this moment, includes Ted Cruz. Correct. In fact, he might be at the top of the list. I think we shouldn't forget that. The other political opportunity Cruz has to rectify this with people is, you know, two, let me give you two baseball players, Hall of Famers, caught in a steroid scandal. Mark McGuire and Alex Rodriguez. Now, the problem Mark McGuire had, Jeff, is that the scandal came out when his playing days were done, so he couldn't continue building a resume. It was the last word on his career. Right.

On the other hand, Arod went out there and hit 200 more home runs. He led the Yankees to another World Series. So he's been able to repair his image to at least some extent. A little bit. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. And so I think, you know, the one advantage Cruz has, and he still has a title. He still has, he still has an opportunity to go out there and fight for the principles that people believe in more than, and that's really.

And that's really why we're in this anyway. It's conservatives. Most of us are here to principles and not for a person. So he has a chance to rectify that to some degree. Then there's what I think is a friend. And the thing I'll just tell you about Ted Cruz that everybody gets wrong, and I mean everybody, is that he is not calculating. And I think the way that this went down clearly indicates that,

that if anything, Ted Cruz needs to be far more cunning and far more calculating. And I think that the Ted Cruz I know, and since I go, without divulging anything, I know how this process went down. This guy actually just kind of does what he thinks is right at that given time. And if anything, doesn't actually factor in the political ramifications. Like when he said, votes your conscience, I don't think he considered what would happen if Donald Trump walked on the floor and used that as an opportunity to box him in and make it look like Ted was actually speaking out against Trump specifically. I don't think you game playing that out. And so I think that in this case, it's probably time for the Ted Cruz that a lot of people think his detractors think is calculating.

I think going forward, he probably needs to be a little bit more like that, Jeff. I don't disagree with that. I mean, and look, he even said in his post that it was, you know, many months of careful consideration and prayer and searching his own conscience. I get that. And he didn't, it really wasn't even an endorsement more as just, could never be Hillary, and so we've got to vote for Trump, or at least I do, was his comment. I don't know. I didn't think he would ever do it.

I got to tell you, I don't know. And I know, you know, I get it. I mean, you obviously know him better than I do, that, you know, he is under enormous pressure, doing his daily job, let alone this. and so he's got to try Pardon me, Jeff. I think that is something that I think both of our audiences

don't even begin to understand. And I don't mean donor pressure. Right. I don't think Ted Cruz gives two rips about that stuff. What I mean is when conservative leaders from major organizations that helps you get elected,

that are your friends, your support network, that are the people you fight for policy with that you share a, you know, you get into the trenches with, when they call you up and call you out and say, I'm deeply disappointed. I can't believe this. I think it's, that's the political equivalent of a dear John letter when you're on the war front. Okay. And he has received more of these than anything else. And I think that's, that's the part about this that disappoints me is,

first of all, this guy's not going to win. Secondly, even if he does, and I think there's probably about a 20% chance. Even if he does, I think he will, he will waste no time whatsoever showing. He doesn't stand for us on any level whatsoever. He only stands for himself. And that's the part about this that is so disconcerting is that there's one thing we've learned in this election, Jeff, there is no conservative movement. There's just conservatives who are essentially a front group for the Republican Party. There's no state. You can say you're conservative all you want. Yeah. You can say it all you want. There's really only two movements, Republican and Democrat. And you have to assimilate to the Borg. It's really a two-party duopoly. I think a lot of these people

were angry at Cruz because they wanted him to validate them and their decision to go out with Trump. Absolutely. And I think that's where a lot of that pressure came from. And I think that is, whatever you think of Cruz's decision, and I think everybody knows what I think, and I can trust, trust me, Ted knows what I think. But whatever you think of Ted's decision, the problem that we would, the idea that our system, our own movement, forget the party establishment and all these other terms we use. Our own movement would take maybe the best champion it has produced in a generation and beat him down, wear him down to the nub so that he's putting out a Facebook post on a Friday news dump to say,

fine, I give in. I think that that is a systemic problem with the conservative movement that goes well beyond whatever you think about this moment from Ted Cruz. Our movement is very sick. Boy, you are 100% correct. Now, let me ask you this. Okay, so the country is in, you know, a huge disarray, at least many believe that. You know, way back in, I don't know what year it was in the 80s, a band called Alan Parsons Project asked a question, where do we go from here?

I'll ask you, where do we go from here? I think at this point now, I think everybody would be wise to stop slinging arrows at one another on both sides of the vote for Trump, never Trump. I think it would be wise for everybody just make the decision they want to make on November the 8th. And, you know, my mama taught me when an asteroid is hurling towards Earth, get out of the way. Okay. So I think we've spent too much time this summer and in the fall, Jeff, looking up at the asteroid hurling towards us in the sky, wondering, is it going to land here or land there? Should you know, should I be on one side of it, the other side of it? We should get the hell out of there.

Okay. So between now on November 8th, run. Let's let Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and Providence decide this. Nobody spend one more scintilla of their political capital on two miscreants that shouldn't be anywhere near the White House. And just, and let the American people and Providence have their say. And then once the asteroid hits on November the 8th and the results in the death toll is counted, we'll get up on November the 9th, figure out how bad and systemic and cataclysmic was the event. And then I think you assess it based on the damage at that moment.

And I think that's when we answer that question. Okay. I mean, that's fair. That's definitely fair. Now, you talk about the asteroid hurling toward the planet. You know, really, a lot of times we can't get off the planet. Okay, so we're going to get hit. It doesn't matter.

So since we're going to get hit, a quick side note, Monday, we've got the debates coming up. Does Dukakles wobble and fall down, or does you stand and be strong for the debate? I think what's going to be fascinating about this debate, and this is my, analysis just as a guy who's a political science guy and a junkie for this stuff, regardless of my opinions. What I think is going to be fascinating is we've never had two candidates as systemically vulnerable as these two are at a national stage. Everybody has weaknesses. It's called the human condition, but these two have weaknesses you can't shield from. I mean, Hillary cannot shield from her dishonesty because it goes right to the root of her own job. It's not built in his private life.

It's the way she performed as a public official. Yeah, I mean, goes to the core. So it's quite his score too. Yes, because it's the persona he's crafted as a candidate. So they can't run away from it. And that's why I believe, in this first debate especially, I think you're going to see both sides going to a prevent defense. I think Trump has stabilized his candidacy. Hillary has clearly established yourself as the favorite.

I think both of them right now want to get through 90 minutes in front of the American people without a mistake, without making themselves more vulnerable than they already are. I think they will each go out of their way to not engage each other, to look presidential, and try to create essentially a stalemate and then assess where things are at for the final month of the campaign. That's what I think you will see on Monday. It certainly makes sense, although I don't want to see that. But I want to see a fight, Steve. Well, you know what's funny about this, Jeff, is I think the interest in this election is at an all-time high, but the enthusiasm for it is at an all-time low. I've used this analogy in my own radio show.

I think we have conflated interest with participation. Like when I'm driving down the interstate and there's a 25 car pile up, I slow down to see them pulling the bodies out of the wreckage. I'm interested. You know how to participate, though. Yeah, I don't drive my car into the pile up to participate in it, okay? So I think 100 million people want to watch this

because they want to see the train wreck. I think less than 50% of the American people want to actually vote. I don't disagree with that at all. Probably less than that. I mean, I would be surprised to see 40. Anyway, Steve Days, thank you very much. I appreciate you coming on. I know you're busy.

It's a Saturday, go be with the family, SteveDase.com. I know everything is going, I hope everything is going well for you. You know, you've got the new book release, Nefarious Plot. I mean, the last I heard about the book, it was doing fairly well, and I love the story. So the movie rights will be to you very soon. Thank you, Jeff. I appreciate it. God bless you.

Thanks. Steve Days. joining me on the broadcast today. You know, some of you had a boatload of comments on my Facebook page and on my Twitter account. And if you'd like to comment on Mr. Cruz and his ringing endorsement of Donald Trump, you can do so by dialing 1-88-903-33 and get it off your chest now. Either way. And I'll read some of your fascinating posts as well in mere moment. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.

It is the Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to it. 888-90-33. Is the phone number. That's the number to use if you'd like to come on board and talk a little bit of Ted Cruz. I jokingly called it a ringing endorsement of Donald Trump. It is not a ringing endorsement. It is just saying that he will vote for Donald Trump.

or vote for the Republican nominee. That is damn near an endorsement from Ted Cruz. And I, for one, did not think he would ever do it. Chris in Ohio, welcome to the broadcast. How are you? I'm just fine. And I have to agree with you. I didn't think he'd do it either.

And I'm amazed and disappointed. I am as well. However, in the future, now you don't have to vote for, you know, have the opportunity to vote for crews here in Texas as far as his Senate seat. But do you think you would if he was running in where you had to vote for him? At this point, I'm honestly not sure because that whole post, I read it, and he sounds like a politician. Whereas before, he sounded like a real person. Well, I mean, to be fair, it does.

But to be fair, I mean, he is a politician. Granted. I mean, that's one of the things that we liked about him is that he at least didn't play the political game, right? I mean, that's one of the things we hope that, you know, he told us the way it is. And yes, he's, you know, looks like he's, you know, he's a little boring and he's not, he's not every politician. But most of the stuff that, you know, Trump used, we thought, well, really, that's Ted Cruz, not Trump. And now it appears that it's almost, you know, it is almost Trump. I didn't think he would ever do it.

I'm very disappointed. Thank you, Chris. I appreciate it. Take care. If you have something to say for Ted, I'd be interested to see if there's anyone in Texas who will have an issue voting for him as far as senator here in Texas. I'm rethinking that. Originally, my thought was, look. No way he endorses Donald Trump.

No way. Zero. His people, the Ted Cruz people, are not going to allow it. We will not allow it. And then Ted came on and said, look, you know, I know that Donald, you know, is an issue. I know I called him amoral and a pathological liar. I know, I know, I know. I know.

He said my dad was a murderer. I know all that. But look, I'm going to vote for him anyway. Ah! But now that he has, I will have an opportunity to vote for him here in Texas as far as becoming senator again. The Jeff Fisher Show, the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show returns on the Blaze Radio Network.

The Jeff Fisher Show returns on the Blaze Radio. Network. That it does. 888903.33 is the phone number. Lawrence Jones, coming up immediately following this broadcast on the Blaze Radio Network, and then Mike Slater and Joe Pags, all on your Saturday here on the Blaze Radio Network. You can, you know, I don't even know why you go anywhere else. You know, I say it, and I say it until I'm blue in the face.

And I just, you know, I mean it. There's no reason for you to go anywhere else. You have Doc and Skip Monday through Friday in the mornings. Glenn Beck. Buck Sexton, Chris Salseda, Pat and Stu. I mean, that's your Monday through Friday right there. And then Saturday, Michael Pelcom, me, Lawrence Jones, Mike Slater, Joe Pags. You're welcome, okay?

And speaking of Doc and Skip, you know, I noticed Skip was quick to jump on the bandwagon after Ted Cruz. You know, the headline, the headline isn't. Cruz endorsing Trump. The headlines should be Cruz voting for Trump. But that's okay. I'll let it go. But I know Skip Lecombe tweeted yesterday as soon as the news broke that, I said it, I said it months ago on the show. I said it.

Yeah, I know. And I remember sitting in this very chair when they were broadcasting from this studios, the Dallas studios of the Blaze Radio Network, and him saying it and me saying, no way. No way. Ted Cruz, not a chance. Not a chance does he endorse Donald Trump. And you were right, Skip. You were right.

Damn you for being right, but you were right. Mark, you are on the Blaze Radio Network, Jeff Fisher Show. Hello. How are you? Oh, right. Hanging in there, Jeffrey. I'm looking forward to this Monday night debate. Hopefully, on one hand, I would like to see them act very,

civilized and very grown up, both of them. But on the other hand, I'd love to see the train wreck. Me, too. I would definitely want to see the train wreck. And I think, you know, you'll be watching, and I appreciate it, Mark, thank you. I'm looking forward to the train wreck as well. I don't know if we'll get it. I know Steve Day said that he's thinking that they're going to be presentable.

and in boxing terminology and Muhammad Ali, you know, both playing a little rope-a-dope and be respective of each other. To hell with that. And I don't know if Donald can do it. He can do it, you know, short periods of time, short bursts. Sure, you can tell me that he's got, you know, he's got, you know, his fox, all his people in his shadows and telling them, you know, to be nice and be presidential. and we'll get you into the White House.

And I don't know that he can do it for an hour and a half. An hour and a half. He's already badmouthed NBC. He's already badmouthed CNN. I mean, he's badmouthed all the networks and all the press. And he's going to stand out there with Lester Holt from NBC. We find out O'Pelko was telling me that our man from Dallas will be sitting in the front row. Mark Cuban.

I don't know who else will be there. It's going to be tough. for Trump to pull it off for 90 minutes. He's going to go off the rails, I think. And if, I mean, as soon as Hillary says something that is just outlandish or says something that Trump can, you know, stick a knife in, he's going to go after her. And it's going to be, I don't think he can do it. And then on the flip side of that, can Hillary, I mean, can, can, can. ankles wobble would not fall down.

I don't think so. She starts to wobble, man. It is over. It is over. Jeremy and West Virginia, you're on the broadcast. How are you? How are you doing? First off, got to say it's honor.

You can tell Patton Sue, the magic happens on Saturday morning. Thank you. You're welcome. The thing I see, and what I've noticed about this year, is we look at these leaders. We look at Trump. we look at Hillary as if somehow they're responsible for the problem we get in, and I've just realized more and more, they're a reflection of us. I wasn't old enough to vote against Bill Clinton the first time,

but by golly, I did the second time, and I'm old enough to know that H.W. Bush was a terrible candidate. But by golly, if we look at what Bill Clinton has started way back then, he's a dream candidate. And I think even back with Romney, and Obama. They have people sitting home because Romney didn't have exactly the views he has now. Each time we get down to a point where now Trump, it's between Trump and Hillary, how far backwards we're going to go.

And we are going to have to hold our noses and decide that, I'm only going to go backwards five steps as opposed to 100 steps. But it's really a reflection of us. We've done this to ourselves. Yes, we have. Yes, we have. I just think I can understand that the pain that Ted Cruz must have gone soon, and I understand the pain that I'm going to have to code.

Even this year, Libertarian Party, what a perfect year to nominate a libertarian, and we get Gary Johnson. I know. It's hard to have hope. It is hard to have hope. Well, play the lotto. You know, play the power ball. You might hit a shot.

At least keep the hope with you alive. Keep hope alive. Play lotto. That's my new ad. campaign. All right. I'll do that. Thank you, Jeff.

Thanks, Jeremy. You know, I got to tell you, he's right. We have done it to ourself. And this is a perfect example of, you know, this is what happens when you have how many years now of the lesser of two evils? The lesser of two evils. Sooner or later, and it has now become sooner, you end up with two evils. And that's where you're at. Man, two evils.

Pat in New York, you're on the broadcast. Hello. Hey, how you doing, Jeffrey? Fine. How are you? Oh, I'm okay. I'm not quite as... Well, I just feel bad when everybody's, like,

kind of attacking, Ted for, you know, coming out that he wanted to support, well, voting, not endorsing. That's right. I put on the Blaze comment line because everyone, you know, just went on fire about, you know, Cruz endorsing, quote-unquote, Mr. Trump. And I made a point of saying, you know,

the real release was vote, not endorsed, and the media that said endorsed. But my point, my thought is, you know, I understand, and I love you guys, I don't agree with the, don't vote for anybody. You know, usually I agree with, Glenn and you guys, but on this I kind of feel like the third party isn't going to win. You have, you should vote for somebody and I can't vote for Hillary.

So it's kind of a process of elimination. That's all you got. And I understand that. I'm not going to like, you know, be mad at, you know, anybody who chooses to do something else. That's where your conviction lies. Right. And everybody's conviction is different. that's kind of where I'm almost with you, Pat.

Thanks for calling. I appreciate it. I know. Look, when it's down to the wire, and I don't believe we've ever said don't vote for anyone. It's just never, you know, never Hillary and never Trump. And so you end up looking at what else do you have. And of course,

if you know, Bob for Donald Trump, that's the vote for Hillary Clinton. And so, you know, you're there. I think more and more people, especially now, that with the crew's saying he's going to vote. When you're by yourself in that voting booth, it's going to be tough, tough, not to vote for Donald Trump.

Keith in Florida, welcome to the broadcast. Hey, Jeffrey, how you doing? Oh, so good. Thanks for asking. Do you really care, or are you just asking? Yeah, I'm not here, man. Okay, thank you. You and Glenn and everybody every day.

It's not on lives on the process. the podcast. That's all right. Thank you. I appreciate it. I just wanted to chime in on this, Ted Cruz. Yes. This year is the only, I've voted every year.

I've never, ever, Mr. Presidential Election, I do midterms. But this year is the only time a candidate ever step forward that I believe enough in to give to this campaign, take time out to make phone calls during the primaries. That's great. And argue almost nearly everybody that I've come in contact with about why this guy should be the man. Now, I've got to hear it from everybody here at work.

Yeah. About how Ted Cruz is nothing but a policy. I know. I know. It's like a, it's a knife in the heart, man. It is a knife, man. It is a knife in the heart. I know.

And as soon as I heard about last night, I went on Glenn's website, man, and I'm with him, man. I want to go to the mountains and disappear. And it's, it is, I mean, it is insane. You know, and the sad part is it, less than a week ago, Previs threatens everybody that don't endorse. Yep. Last weekend, if you don't endorse, man, you got no. shot. And then less than a week 10, like, okay. I know. I know. You're not, you're not the only one that's pointed that out. I mean, that's, I understand it. And I told my, I told my dad in law

ago, if he would have, you know, if he would have, um, said that he was keeping that stupid if he, I'm voting for him because I said I would because of the stupid pledge, then I would have felt, you know, that's sad, Ted. And then what did he do? First thing, I'll pledge that. And I just, I just, I will never, I'm with you, man. You're like, I don't know if I can vote for, if he runs in 2020,

I'm not voting for him. I'll vote for Jeb Bush before him. And I can't stand Jeff Bush. I mean, John Kasich, every time they ask him, he's like, did you hear what I said in the primary? Why would I vote for that guy? And so I got right now, I hate to say, I got more respect for John Kasich than I do Ted Cruz. Oh, my gosh. I don't know that I can go that far.

That's bad. I'm dead. I mean, Keith, stop drinking. Stop drinking immediately. Put down the bottle. It's putting it down. It's his fault. He drove me to drink, Jeffrey.

Thanks, Keith. I appreciate it. I don't know that I can go that far. Keith does a little believing in Kasich more than that. I mean, one thing that Ted Cruz does have, He's above John Kasich for me. I'll tell you that. I don't know how good news that is, but it's news.

Here we go. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. That it is. Welcome to it. 888-90333 is the phone number. Yes, Ted Cruz did say in his Facebook post that he will cast his vote in November for Trump.

One tweet today. I see one of the coming through is at Ted Cruz is the at Senator Sanders of the GOP. Congrats at Senator Ted Cruz for being a sellout. Jason in Alaska. How are you? Hey, good morning, brother. How are you? Pretty good.

You know, I just wanted to say, you know, I probably could have dealt with him staying with his decision, you know, to not support Trump. just because of the moral degradation that Trump afflicted upon the family. You know, your family comes first. Right. It kind of supersedes your word. But, you know, what he first said when he came up to support Trump was that after much prayer, you know, he said that he's going to endorse. And here's the reason why is because our yes needs to be our yes and our no needs to be our no. And what would we think of him later on if he didn't keep his word?

And I respect that man. I watched him keep his word even when it hurts. You know what I'm saying? And that's the kind of man. I'm just really sad that he's not running for president. Because he would keep his word even if it hurts. You know what I'm saying? He would deal with it.

You know what I'm saying? Because he's going to have his yes, be his yes, and his no, be as no. And I respect that too. But that's probably the, I think, that if he hadn't given his word, he would still take the stance of not supporting Trump, but he's keeping his word. Yeah. And, you know, Jason, I tell you're not alone. You know, many, many people, including William on my Twitter feed, Cruz did what he felt he had to do.

His words were well chosen, and he didn't use the word endorsement. So, I mean, it makes sense. I could have supported him also. I could have supported him also because, you know, the contract that you made with your wife, you know, in marriage to honor and hold her up, honor and hold her up and stuff like that is the first contract that you made. that you made. And if another contract comes along that makes you, makes you, you know, break that other contract, which is a more important contract to me, you know, in heaven, you know, and in the sight of God, you know, our contract with our wife. And I could have supported him also in that, that after his wife taking that beating, you know, verbally, you know, that he, but

you know what? He's a man of, man of morality. And I wish, I wish with all my heart that he was running. But have a good morning, brother. Me too. Thank you. I appreciate it. it. 888-90-033-93 is the phone number. There you have it. I don't know how much more I can take. I might have to go into some stuff that takes my mind away from it because I tried to get away from this on Saturdays, but I can't. They keep pulling me back in. After months of many, after many months of careful consideration of prayer and searching

conscience. I've made this decision for two reasons. First, I promise to support the Republican nominee, and I intend to keep my word. Second, even though I have had areas of significant disagreement with our nominee, by any measure, Hillary Clinton is wholly unacceptable. That's why Senator Ted Cruz said yesterday that he will cast his vote in November for Donald J. Trump. Heaven help us. This is the Jeff Fisher show, only on the Blaze Radio Network. Experiment 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.

888-903-33 is the phone number. You can follow me on Twitter at Jeffie MRA, Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, and, of course, Instagram at Jeffie MRA. Lawrence Jones coming up and meeting the following this broadcast on the Blaze Radio Network. And, of course, you heard Michael Pelka before this broadcast. And I know Mike likes to watch the, you know, likes to watch the in-house video cams when I enter the building, and he likes to, you know, make fun of what I bring in.

But he's right about one thing. I would not be able to eat cinnibuns. A, that my wife didn't make, or B, that she wasn't here to eat them with me. So he is right about that, as he stated earlier during the broadcast. So as I'm waiting to talk to Chuck in Florida.com with some stories about Florida. Because Florida and Texas are becoming the states of record for weirdness. And I like to keep caught up on what happens in Florida. I'm actually looking at a video from Georgia.

That's just north of Florida for you, people that don't know your geography. And this lady is, she had a break in at the house, three robbers. And she comes down the hall and she is firing. Man, she's got surveillance video at her house. One died. Sadly, I don't want anybody to die. But he shouldn't have been breaking into her house. But she is not having any of it.

Man, you break into my house and you are getting shot. And one guy runs through a glass, window and they're looking for the other two. One died, I'm telling you, go ahead, go ahead, break into my house, please. She is not having any of it. And for you robbers out there are potential robbers that think I can get away with it, good luck. God bless. Chuck in Florida.com.

How are you, my friend? Greetings from Florida, Jeffrey. How are you today? I am so darn good. just never seen times better, to be honest. Well, you sound wonderful. I must say the connection is much better. Thank you.

Well, you know, it's a wonderful thing. It's called, you know, it's just radio. So, I don't worry about it. What's up, Chuck in Florida.com? What do you got for me? We have interesting Florida news. The top headlines this week. Seminoleman makes up to $1,000 a day,

belly dancing in a bikini for drivers stuck in traffic. Oh, nice. Yes, naked Florida man breaks into a home, bites resident dies. Ooh. Florida man spends three hours trying to steal a naked Trump statue. And then Alabama police arrest a Florida woman for a string of crown-re-clown-related threats. I actually have some other stories about clowns today, too. Clowns are starting to make the loser away.

I used to think they were just fine. Bozo was cool, but now I'm beginning to get a little concerned. just saying finally man caught in riding a manatee dares police not to send him to jail then of course he ended up in jail yeah 25,000 bond he's in jail

25,000 bucks for riding a manatee well he was warned several times and he's in there in Isle Morata and he's playing with the manatees and he says look I'm riding one I'm riding them you know and they said get off of them or we're going to put you in jail and he says take me to jail and they take them to jail.

I mean, they let you swim around at the nuke plant and pet them. Well, that's the nuke plant. I mean, you know, you swim at your own risk there, you know. But the inland waterway, and I love seeing manatees in the inland waterway, although I've never attempted, I can honestly say I've never attempted to ride one. Well, they don't come that large, do they? I'm just, maybe. I don't know.

Is it still nice to Jeffie Day or my... No, that's funny is what that is. Okay. You making a fat joke up me. That's funny as what that is. Hello, fat. This is the other fat. Calling fat.

That's funny as what that is. That's funny. That's funny. No, I got it. I understood exactly what it was. Yeah. No. I instantly regretted it, by the way.

I got it. That's funny is what that is. Yeah. No, my favorite has to be the Seminole, man. Seminole. It's not far from your old stomping grounds. Yeah, that's funny. Here's a guy that Charles Easter,

a.k.a. Charles Hala, aka. Beyonce, aka Riri, is taking over the Florida streets and dancing in a bikini with the words, halla, tattooed across his forehead. And he dances at the corners of various Brandon Mall on South Beach.

And it's fantastic. It's fantastic. Seminole Heights in front of the advanced auto parts. He makes $1,000 a day entertaining people in traffic. Not long ago, I saw the video of this guy. Did you really? He was on a corner that I frequented it. I mean, you're right. It was my neck of the woods.

And I was so bummed that he was not there when I lived in Florida. Oh, man. This guy is amazing. He is such a... He said that, where's the quote? I had it just here a moment ago. He is a freak, man. Way into viral fame as his popularity soars, thanks to YouTube and Facebook.

Easter says, it's just a fun way for him to make a living. I used to be a cross-dresser. Now I'm a rock star. Yeah, think about it. I mean, why not? It's a good gig. That right there is what makes America great. Right on.

I tell you, man. With a bikini with a belly like his out there in traffic. And I'm telling you, you and I, we're good. We have plenty of real estate. This guy is just up there with us. I'm saying. Don't try to make up. Don't try to make up.

With the man a tea joke. Don't. Don't push me. Do not push me. Continue on with your little stories. Yes, well, Florida man that actually chopped down a statue of naked Trump entitled The Emperor Has No Balls. Where was this at?

This was in 2nd Avenue 23rd Street in Winwood, Florida. And apparently this guy, the police said that, well, somebody made a political statement and somebody else made another political statement by taking it down. So they weren't that concerned. Apparently, it took him over three hours to remove the statue from the rooftop. And he just pulled it down and ran. And they were yelling, stop, stop. And he just jumped, went in the truck and left. So they snapped a picture of his license plate and arrested him anyway.

If I, yeah, if I was the guy that had the Trump statue up, I'd be pissed. Well, yeah. They said that they spoke to people in the area and that they weren't too familiar with the idea or the artist. And apparently it's been in several cities around New York and Florida and some other states. Yeah, the naked Trump. That's why I didn't realize that it was in Florida because they had the, I've taken them down in New York. That's true. And they said that the different statues are popping up in places like at top of the R.C. Cola plant-turned event space in the heart of the Winwood Arts District.

Nice. You got to love RC Cola still making a comeback after all these years. They're trying. They're trying. Oh, wait, it's just an event that's not the cola place. It's the old plant. Yes. Yeah, the old bottling company that is now the Arts District.

So, you know, if you're a Florida residence, I guess you would flock to a bottling plant to. make your art. Does RC Cola actually exist anymore? They sure do. In fact, my favorite is still Diet Right Cola. Really? I'm just saying it's great. There's very little artificial flavors and sweeteners. It's using Splenda instead of the natural, I mean, instead of the NutraSweet or that other nonsense. I didn't realize that you were a spokesman for R.C. Cola, but go on. I'm trying hard. Diet Right has been in my family since the Kentucky days of my mom. Great taste since 1905, an American icon for 110 years, R.C. Cola.

Wow. That's right. We'll make the pitch video later. There's no way. I don't remember seeing R.C. Cola anymore. Publix is a big carrier of R.C. Cola products. In fact, the Diet Right line expanded with a bunch of new flavors of tangerine orange and red raspberry and some others, I believe. It's really, really good stuff. Times are struggling when I go to the R.C. Cola website and along the top, one of the lines is become a bottler. They're still looking for bottler.

So at times, RC is still struggling a little. Hey, I didn't know that was an option. I could be a bottler. That's great. Yeah, you could be an R.C. Cola bottler. I want to know about the Florida guy that bit the old man and died. Well, apparently, it's another drug-related incident. That's what police are saying.

A man breaks into the home of a Florida resident, attacks him and his wife. and the authorities said that he is an Ocala home and he broke in, found him being held down in the bedroom naked and unresponsive

oh, after attacking two women and one man in the home and including biting one of the women. Now, I got the story confused because the lack of commas but apparently the naked man died,

not the people he bit. Right. No, I understood that. That's what I wanted to know. I was pretty sure that was the case. I was pretty sure that was the case. So he breaks in naked, attacks two women and a man, and then dies.

Bites one guy and then dies. Apparently on the scene, yes. They did take another woman into custody that was, I guess, in the area looking for him. She was also somewhat out of her mind, and they incarcerated her in the meantime seeking medical treatment. Man, O'Callag needs to get off the math or get off the bath salts or something, man. Yeah, it's that flaka, again, making it's a research. in the North Florida town of Ocala here.

No kidding. I've spent a little time in Ocala. In fact, one of my one summer I spent a couple of days that felt like a summer in Ocala. Yes. And I went to,

they've got a water park in Ocala. Do they? Yeah, they do. I don't know if you ever been to the Ocala water theme park there. I forget what the name of it is, but it is an actual human water park where you go and swim. And I went there

with some of some friends, don't push me. And then, but I will say that speaking of manatees at a water park, it is, this is the particular water park where I saw the most man breast I've ever seen in my life. You know, manatees, right? I'm telling you, it was frightening, frightening in Ocala. I have never been back. I have never been back.

But there was unbelievable to me, the amount of man breasts at this water park in Ocala. That's just my Ocala story. That's all I'm saying. Well, that might be a side business we could look into it. There's that many in one location, you know? Kind of a captured market. I don't even want to think about what I want to sell them. All right.

Let's talk about the clowns. I do. Let's talk to clowns. I want to know about the clowns. Clownpocalypse. Flomaton, Alabama. Apparently, there's a woman from Florida, naturally. She's in Pensacola.

and she has put together Facebook pages and threats on surrounding neighborhoods and schools and so forth. And I didn't get a chance to actually see the Facebook post. So there's not a lot of backstory with this, except that it says police have finally put the brakes on a clown reign of terror spreading across the south. After a series of threatening posts of the Flomo clown Facebook page, authorities in Alabama took down two juveniles and one adult into custody. on Thursday in connection with the incident. The post, which appears to threaten violence at area schools, has even caused Flomiton police to order a soft lockdown, forcing students and teachers to shelter in place,

while authorities searched for the errant and possibly violent circus act. No clowns were discovered, but police obtained enough information to issue several warrants. Yeah, well, there were reports beginning in South Carolina. I was just, in fact, I just, I was just looking at the, terrifying clown stories because I like terrifying clown stories. And there was one in Florida not long ago down in Fort Myers

where an old guy was walking around to clowns. And they've made a great heyday with this around Halloween now. And of course, you know, we were just at Hollow Scream in Bush Gardens last night where they had a terrifying clown thing set up. And it's the first thing I jumped to was, what's with the people taking pictures of these clowns in the woods?

They're just standing there, creepy, holding a balloon or whatever. Not doing anything, but yet there's another one. popping up on Facebook or like three last week. Okay, so this one is, oh, these are the different clown crimes.

I've got stories here from clown crimes too. Oh, we're going to talk about these. Oh, man. I am excited about this. There's the cold, the cold case clown.

There's the Wasco clown. There's the Clutzo the clown. There's the band's the band. How terrifying is that really? Blasow. The clowns. And Pogo the Clowns. And Pogo the clowns.

go the clown. And, oh, man, we got to talk about the clowns. We got to talk about the clowns. Because I kind of want to like clowns, but they're kind of freaky. I've never really understood the fear of clowns. I've not been afraid. They don't look normal, obviously. They're all mutated and bulbous and, you know, big feet and all that fun stuff.

But it just doesn't scary. Every clown is different, right? I mean, you've got the clown school there in Sarasota. Isn't that where the clown school is in Sarasota, Florida? From Ringling, yes. I'm not sure if it's still active for clown school. I think it is because I'm pretty sure that you have to, when you go there, every clown face is registered.

I'm pretty sure you have each clown face has to be different and is registered with the clown police. Yes, I actually interviewed a registered clown once on one of my other shows a couple years ago. And it's fascinating because they do have very strict guidelines as to how to be a performing clown. Thank you. So they're probably pissed at these other clowns. Oh, yes. They're not happy about it at all because they're spreading all this evil and malicious intent, you know. The hatred's bastards, sending bad messages about clowns.

I hate them. All right, Chuckinflora.com. Thank you very much. I got to go. Thank you, Jeffrey. Stay weird. Appreciate it. Take care of yourself.

Great to talk to you again. I mean that. Friend. I mean that. I can't even, you know, this is my show. Okay? I get to make the fat jokes against me. Okay?

Not to guess. I get to make the fat jokes. I mean, so what, that it was a manatee fat joke that was funny. So? This is The Jeff Fisher Show. On the Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. First of all, thank you for donating to Mercury One.

There's a couple people that have been watching our Facebook live shows on Saturday, immediately following this broadcast with Brad Stags and myself. And I know that there are two of you, one is owed a T-shirt and one is owed a hat. I've been negligent in mailing you those, and I apologize. And this reading, seeing this email this morning reminds me that I have been negligent in mailing those out to you. and you donated to Mercury 1, and you should get your prize. There'll be another big Facebook live post coming up today, not long after the radio show on the Blaze Facebook page.

Keep an eye out for that. Brad and I are going to do some magic today, some magic. And I'm going to make my – I'm going to do something that my wife is a little upset about. I'm going to make my daughter disappear. Hell yeah. I'm going to make my daughter disappear. And if that works, I'm bringing the rest of the family next week. Anyway, I want to thank you for donating to Mercury 1.

They met the fundraising goal of $125,000 to help the victims of the Louisiana flooding. And they had, I mean, a billion dollars of more damage. It's unbelievable. And you help. You were able to provide over 100,000 hot meals, 13 truckloads of bottled water, distribution center, truckloads of personal care, cleaning and baby items, Patriot supply food, operational expenses. Anyway, they're getting ready to help these people for Thanksgiving, and they need your help. They're looking to raise about $90,000 or more by October 15th. And that will provide 30,000 or more Thanksgiving meals for the people in Louisiana who have decided not to leave the area and help in the rebuilding phrase.

So consider donating. I mean, now's the time to help and know that they, we've got everything ready to go for Thanksgiving. Mercury1.org. Mercury1.org. we got to talk a little TV. I got a little, we've got new TV shows out. I got Netflix shows uploading new that I've been binging on. We're going to talk a little bit of TV before I get out of here today.

That's for sure. On the Blaze Radio. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show. 888-90333 is the phone number. I have got just so much and so many things I wanted to share with you today that we hadn't. I don't even know if we're going to make it, to be honest with you, because of the Ted Cruz announcement yesterday.

So before we move on to talk about pigeons that can smell, that can spell. They can smell, too, but they can spell is the big thing. Pigeons, they can smell. And I'll tell you about a direct message tweet I got from the Walking Dead AMC in mere moments. Grayson, you are on the broadcast. Hello. How are you? Mr. Fisher, the man, the myth, the legend.

Great to talk to you again. What's up? Oh, hey, man. You know, I was pretty well-torched, you know, like the knife through the heart as well. But then, you know, I was thinking, you know, I heard, you know, Mr. Limbaugh say yesterday, he doesn't live with regrets because every moment that his life took got him to that. point and I'm the same way you know I think everything I have I'm greatly blessed for and then as as Ted said he prayed about it after much constipation

consternation he came to that conclusion I started thinking about it because I my emotions were immediate he sell out were done for throw it in we can't trust anybody anymore and then I thought Wait a minute. He's one of the smartest, most conservative guys I've ever witnessed in my life. Yes. Why would he be doing this? And I thought, you know, if he's got any shot of being on the Supreme Court, which we desperately need more than anything,

especially all these Second Amendment rights, folks, myself included, and we paid attention to Heller and all these narrow misses. and we need somebody like Ted Cruz on the Supreme Court. Yeah, well, I mean, and that was the Michael. The long view of this is, I think, the most important thing we need to concentrate on at this point. Thank you, Grace, and I appreciate it. And that was, you know, that's really what the Mike Lee thing was from Trump about the Supreme Court and, along with, you know, along with Ted. Look, I doubt that you're going to, you might get a Mike Lee on the Supreme Court. Maybe not Ted Cruz.

because he's not really well-liked in Congress, although, which, again, surprises me why he would play along with them and take, you know, live with the threat from Primus, whatever the hell his name is, and the rest of them. It just, I'm trying to reconcile it. I'm trying, Ted. I'm trying. Okay.

Just know that I'm trying, but it's very, very difficult. All right. Direct message from the Walking Dead AMC on Twitter. Hello, Jeffie. Thanks for being a longtime supporter of TWD. We'd love to send you a surprise in the coming weeks. Please DM us back your email and shipping address. We have a limited amount of gifts.

Thanks. Yeah. Okay, thanks. Walking Dead. I replied with, hey, when am I going to be a Walker, dead? Okay? I do a talking walking dead podcast. I do a talking fear podcast.

I want to be a walker. And I originally said I didn't want to do, this is where I pulled a Ted Cruz here. I originally said I don't want to be a walker on fear because they're second place runner up and I'd want to be a walker on walking dead. Then I realized that there's not a lot of, a lot of walkers that are my size.

But in fear, there are, you know, it's still a new thing going on. So there are people who would be walkers that would be my size still. So just one of the shows is now. I'm down to just one of the shows to be great. And it'll be fine. You know what I'm saying? Just one of the shows. That's all I'm asking.

It's one of the shows. But anyway, so, you know, they're catching on. They're coming along for the ride. Appreciate it. Walking Dead. You know, I love you. So let's, you know, see the prize. And it better damn well be a shirt that can fit.

That a hat. You know, maybe the crew can stop by here at the Mercury Studios. Join me on my podcast. What do you think? Maybe we do a Facebook live with the crew. What do you think? I'm here for you. Okay.

Now let's talk a little new TV because you got Walking Dead coming up October 23rd. The premiere of the, oh, I'm so fired up. But fear, you got three more weeks of fear left, which, you want to know about fear. Listen to the podcast. It's under the Jeff Fisher show. It goes up every Monday or Tuesday, fear air Sunday night, just like Walking Dead. Myself, Jason Butchrell, and Bradstags do the podcast.

cast for Fear the Walking Dead, Talking Fear. And you can find out how we feel about that. Now, the new seasons are out, though, baby. New shows, Netflix, dropped a few shows in the last couple weeks. Got Luther, Season 4, but with Idris Alba, who, you know, he's a busy man. I hear his damn voice in all these Disney movies. He's got a good gig going there. And Luther was only like two episodes, which was really a one, you know, three-eastern.

hour-long special on the BBC. And his comment was, it was so short because I don't want to get bored doing the same character all the time. Yeah, Luther, we wouldn't want you to make, you know, I don't want you to find a character that works and make a lot of money doing that. Heaven forbid, that happens to you, Idris. But anyway, the new season of Luther's up. Netflix just dropped the new latest season of Longmeyer with Robert Taylor.

Just dropped a couple more shows of Wallander with Kenneth Brano. If you don't know who Kenneth Browner, I was looking up, you'll know him when you see his face. And then, you know, a bunch of other movies and stuff up on Netflix, which I'm, you know, hey, good luck, God bless. New TV show, I mean, I watched Designated Survivor. Actually, after the first, if they can keep it up, the first show was really good. It was really good. I think our boys got another hit on his hands. I know the wife watched The Good Place.

I watched, I caught just part of that as I was working, and I caught like bits and pieces of it off and out. And I know that there's lethal weapon. I haven't watched that. Pitch. I haven't watched that. I think they're on my DVR. I think she recorded them so we could see what the newer shows were like. And the big shows are back, right?

NCIS is back. Lucifer, Season 2 is back. Saw that. It was good to have that show. But I love that freaking show. Project Runway. I mean, that's back, strong. Big Bang Theory is back.

I haven't watched much of Big Bang Theory, although I know I think my wife is hooked on that now. And while I was talking about TV shows yesterday at the house, you know, I've got to talk about a couple TV shows on the show tomorrow, my daughter was like, yeah, I love Lucy. Honey, that's not a new show. It is for me. She's right.

On Hulu, she is now, become a fan of I Love Lucy show. Thanks to Brad Meltzer's book with Lucille Ball. And so she's now, you know, big fan of Lucille Ball. She can have, you know, she can have worse people to look up to, but she's a huge fan of Lucille Ball now. And I Love Lucy, and she's hooked on this show. My 9-year-old watching the black and white Lucille Ball shows.

Amazing. And as far as Netflix and Facebook go, you know, not long ago we talked about all that Facebook knows about you, right? And, I mean, they're like, they're what, the number one app Facebook is, right? I mean, they've, what, almost a billion people using Facebook? Well, they have now come out and apologized for overstating a key ad metric. Now, this is what I end up going to cost them some money, big time. They apologized for an error in the way it measured video viewership.

Wow. Now, their metric significantly amplified users. And amplified the users viewing times. Huh. So their metrics made seem like more users were viewing longer on this platform. Huh. The social media giant A few weeks ago that a metric for average user time on videos

Was artificially inflated As it only counted videos viewed for over three seconds Wow It said that the discrepancy did not impact advertising billings And introduced newer metrics to replace the previous method Did not impact advertising billings? Uh-huh We'll see about that

Because wow Right? I mean Facebook now is their advertising is their biggest revenue. They've got $6 billion of revenue from advertising. And within that billion dollars is because viewing times are, you know, longer on the videos. They're going to make more money selling those. Uh-huh.

Okay. Okay. No problem. Apology accepted. How about some cash back? What about that? And the story about Netflix, knowing exactly what you're going to watch before you're going to watch it, when you sit down and turn it on.

I mean, they all have that pretty much now, right? Especially, I mean, Netflix, if it's in your queue, and new episodes pop out, it highlights it, good. They all have new releases and watch it again, right? Or because you watched within the last, with the rating systems. I mean, that's why they want to pay people to watch the kids shows, right? So they want people to watch all these kids shows and rate them. so that and rate them and write little pieces about them so that when you watch something and you say,

yeah, I like that. When you rate it, I don't know if you do or not. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. When I'm done watching something, I rate it. But that helps Netflix tell you because you watched here's something else that you would like. So, you know, within those ratings. So, I mean, that's their, that's their, that's one.

way that they can tell what you would like to watch. I, you know, good for them. No problem with that. God bless. Good luck. I'm all for it. Now, do I have time to tell you about the pigeon that can spell? Apparently, a new study suggests that pigeons can recognize words.

One of the pigeons in the study, birds could distinguish dozens of words. words. Now I watch the video of this. It's pretty hard to tell if that's actually what's taking place. If a word is spelled correctly, the, correctly the pigeon has been taught to peck at the word. If it's not, if it's spelled incorrectly, the pigeon is supposed to peck at a star. When it's right, the machine hands it some food. What I saw, and this group of researchers from New Zealand said they were able to train four pigeons to consistently with 70% accuracy recognize dozens of words. The smartest pigeon learned about 60 words so it could distinguish from about a thousand

non-words. Now, the study published in the September issue of the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and really who doesn't, if it hasn't arrived yet, I'm sure it's on the way, the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Wow. I mean, I can't wait. Mine hasn't arrived yet to get that. It is the first time that a non-primate has been found to have an autographical brain.

That means the brain has the ability to recognize letters. What I saw was pigeons pecking at a word and a star and waiting to hear when the food dropped into the tray. I don't know that they actually recognize the words. I don't know that they actually recognize the words. And I don't know if you know about pigeons. I was around homing pigeons for a long time when I was a little kid. And they're dirty and they're nasty and birds. And, you know, while they're smart and you, you know, tie a rope on their leg with a note and fly them away to get to the destination,

recognizing words is a stretch, a stretch. Because pigeons are almost, you know, I mean, those bad boys, they're like Skyrats, really. And I don't see where Skyrats are recognizing words. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network.
