Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the Blaze Radio on demand. The founder of this company 10 years ago was trying to sell his house and went through real estate agent after real estate agent. And they were all talking a great game. And this guy who is selling his house, the founder of this company, he's kind of an important guy and should get the best treatment. And he said to his wife, if this is what it's like for us, how do people who have no clout ever? get around this. So he started a company and it went into business, I think, three years ago. Their deal is, their word is their bond. And they are just like you. Now, how can I say that? Because I'm the founder of the company. We have a thousand agents across the country and they are
Starting point is 00:00:45 people that listen to the show. And so when you go through real estate agents I trust, it's sent to somebody who already, you already know their sensibilities. They already are cut from exactly the same cloth. There's got to be a better way. There is. Real estate agents, I trust.com. Where are we headed as a people? As a nation, as a world? Keep that thought with you as we go through today. We know we've been lied to for most, if not all, of our politicians.
Starting point is 00:01:18 We all want better than we have, but many of us settle because, hey, it ain't easy to get ahead. We know it appears that the world is spinning out of consumers. control. Sometimes feels like we're going to fly right off the earth. We're spinning so fast. We all need to do what we can, as much as we can. And hope and pray that that will be enough.
Starting point is 00:01:45 And we all will probably continue to think, yeah, that'll be enough after today's show. So take a deep breath. Take a sip of coffee. And let's do this. The experiment was a success. Begin life force reboot program. Now.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Stand clear. Life signs stable. It's alive. Set it loose. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Hello. Welcome. Welcome to the broadcast.
Starting point is 00:02:39 So much. So much to get to today. We are going to have a, and we've got a short time to get there. Right? Something like that. So Judicial Watch, the great Judicial Watch, announced earlier this week, Thursday, I think, might even have been early yesterday, that they obtained documents from the Department of State containing the telephone transcripts from the evening of September 11, 2012, in which then Secretary of State. now presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
Starting point is 00:03:16 informs then Egyptian prime minister that the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi had nothing to do with the film. All the documents that they have previously on-released telephone transcripts with world leaders about the Benghazi attack. And I know Judicial Watch had a tough time getting these, But they finally, they finally got them. At 10.08 p.m. on September 11th, Mrs. Clinton issued an official State Department press statement, approved by the White House,
Starting point is 00:04:00 placing the blame of the attack on an Internet video. Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. Let me be clear. There is never any jurisdiction for violent acts. There's never any justification for violent acts of this kind ever. Yet the next day in her 749 p.m. September 12th conversation with Condal, the Egyptian Prime Minister,
Starting point is 00:04:50 I want to be clear, Egyptian Prime Minister, because a couple days later, she talks to the Egyptian Foreign Minister. But when she talks to the Prime Minister on the 12th of September, Clinton said, we know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack, not a protest. The Prime Minister responded, you're not kidding. Based on the information we saw today, we believe that group that claimed responsibility for this is affiliated with al-Qaeda. Huh. Then on September 15th, in a telephone call with Egyptian foreign minister, Clinton emphatically portrayed the stupid, very offensive film as the root cause of the Benghazi violence. I have repeatedly, as has the president and other officials in our government,
Starting point is 00:05:42 deplored not only the content of this stupid, very offensive film, but we have to exercise more self-discipline, Otherwise, we'll be in a vicious downward circle against everyone who has ever, ever felt this way against Libya. Now, of course, this obviously shows that she lied. They all did about the Benghazi ordeal. We know that. We know they have. And yet they continue to deny it.
Starting point is 00:06:27 more and more proof spills out. Will anything become of it? I mean, it's clear. What were we doing this for? Oh, I know. Let's see, what was going on at the time? What was going on at the time? Oh, oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:06:45 The re-election of President Barack Hussein Obama. And it worked. It worked. So now what? We have this. We have the email scandal. Does it mean anything? Will anything come of it?
Starting point is 00:07:11 Anything at all. Where are we headed? As a people. As a nation. As a world. Where are we headed? You know where we're headed? $15 minimum wage.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Yeah. That's where we're headed. That's where we're headed. Now, they had a big rally, a rally, a protest in Arizona. And we have a news report here from Arizona. And they talked to a McDonald's employee, Kathy. And she shows exactly the mindset of those that want, think they deserve the $15 an hour minimum wage.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Let's look at the other side of this now. So do you work full-time? Yes, I do. Okay, so if you were to increase your hourly wage to $15 an hour, that would be about $30,000 a year annually that you would be making. So for a perspective, a paramedic makes $31,000 a year. Teachers in Tucson where you're from, some of them make $35,000 a year. I know my first job, I made less than $30,000 a year.
Starting point is 00:08:42 And all those professions require you to go and get higher education and pay for all of that. Why should someone who works at McDonald's like you getting paid these same amount of money, or sometimes even more than people who graduated from college. Hello? With that, the minimum wage, if it goes up, everybody else's goes up. No, honey. The police. All the minimum wage goes up.
Starting point is 00:09:04 No, honey. For me, to make minimum wage come up, I would be able to afford to live like everybody else. I work just as hard as a construction worker. I work my 40 hours, but they only put you down as part-time. That would be illegal. With that, I need full-time. And with the full-time, I'll be able to get, like, everybody else, the insurance for my children, insurance for myself, pay for bills. And with my income increasing, everybody else will increase.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Some small businesses say they wouldn't be able to afford that, though, to be paying all of their employees $15 an hour. What do you say to that, Kathy? Aren't we already doing that? They don't want to pay $8 an hour. And aren't we already, you know, is this still going? on at $8 an hour and they don't want to pay that. So, you know, with all of us
Starting point is 00:09:56 and the rest of the world, we need that extra money. I started off at $3 an hour. And that was only 10 years ago. So how can we have... And now you make $8 an hour. In order to live. Kathy, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:10:10 No, Kathy, no, not thank you. Liz, uh, Liz Cotillick, Fox 10, right? Cotillic. K-O-T-A-L-K. Yeah. Fox 10. I would be in a little bit. I'm not a news reporter, so I may not have been as nice as Liz.
Starting point is 00:10:29 No, Kathy. That's not the way it is. Hey, if my minimum wage goes up, everybody's minimum wage goes up. Hello. Now, I'm not a mathematician by any stretch of the imagination. But I'm pretty sure. Pretty sure. Minimum wage is minimum wage.
Starting point is 00:11:07 So how does that work? Oh, I know it's minimum. This is what you're up against. This is what you're up against. She said she started off at $3 an hour, now it's up to $8. Oh my gosh. That means she's actually gone up.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Hmm. She'll be able to get insurance. I guess insurance is free even at $15 an hour. And if you're working 40 hours, they have to make you a full-time employee. So if she's working 40 hours and not becoming a full-time employee, that's illegal. Now, one of my favorite parts of the, I don't know if this particular clip can show due justice to the chant. But I want you to hear this. I love because it's so unbelievably stupid.
Starting point is 00:12:00 the protest chants that go on around the country when this happens. So let's see if we can make it out from this, from this chant. No, you can't. If we don't get it, shut it down. If we don't get it, shut it down. But their main, their main chant was, hold your burgers, hold your fries, make our wages supersized. if we don't get it, shut it down.
Starting point is 00:12:42 I am in love with protest chance. I should have added it too. I mean, this is a McDonald's protest, man. Hold your burgers, hold your fries. Make our wages supersized. What's something? We've got to add something about the clown, right? Make our wages supersize.
Starting point is 00:12:59 If we don't get it, kill the clown. No, don't do that. If we don't get it, pay the clown. If the play the clown, I can't think of anything now. Gone. I had a perfect chant last night, too. I dreamt, sadly.
Starting point is 00:13:14 This is how bad I am. I mean, this is a sad, poor thing. I dreamt about a chant for the stupid hold your burgers, hold your fries, make our wages supersized. If the clown can get it, so can I. If we don't get it, shut it down. No, that doesn't work either. Hold your burgers, hold your fries.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Make our wages supersized. If we don't get it, shut it down. Then kill the clown. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. The founder of this company 10 years ago was trying to sell his house and went through real estate agent after real estate agent. And they were all talking a great game.
Starting point is 00:14:14 And this guy who was selling his house, the founder of this company, he's you know he's kind of an important guy and kind of you know should get the best treatment and he said to his wife if this is what it's like for us how do people who have no clout ever get around this so he started a company and it went into business i think three years ago their deal is their word is their bond and they are just like you now how can i say that because i'm the founder of the company we have a thousand agents across the country and they are people that listen to the show And so when you go through real estate agents, I trust, it's sent to somebody who already, you already know their sensibilities. They already are cut from exactly the same cloth.
Starting point is 00:14:57 There's got to be a better way. There is. Real estate agents, I trust.com. The Jeff Fisher Show is on. Welcome to it. 888-9033 is the phone number. This is, of course, to it equals the Blaze Radio Network. I mean, this is where you're at.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Thank you so much for being here. Pure O'Pelke, Mike O'Pelker, coming up immediately following this broadcast. And then we spin a little rewind to J-7 from the previous week. And then Chris Salsato, Mike Slater, Joe Paggs, all live on the Blaze Radio Network. I feel like right now I have my little separate studio box that I plug my headphones in so that I can hear myself. It keeps going in and out. And whenever I touch the table, you know, I put it. my hands on the table as I'm talking to you.
Starting point is 00:15:59 It goes out, so I keep going in and out. And then I look up and I'm reminded of the Laura Ingram. If you don't know the story, I'll tweet it out at Jeff Emra is my Twitter account. And I'll put it up on my Facebook page to Jeff Fisher Radio. But Laura Ingram, hundreds of stations around the country, syndicated tacos. The first, one of the first rules that you learn in radio is, you know, the mic is always hot. No matter what, the mic is always hot. And we've all had our experiences where we've not remembered that rule.
Starting point is 00:16:44 But one of the other rules that you learn, I don't know, from the beginning of time, that in a public place, especially, like, oh, I don't know, a radio. You don't use profanity. And many of us push the limit. No question. I'm one of them.
Starting point is 00:17:09 I am not the word police, and I believe that, you know, I really do believe that you should be able to use whatever the heck you want. However, you play within the rules given you. And she's on radio. While this show is
Starting point is 00:17:28 on the internet. Technically, I could go on and on with any, you know, anything I wanted to talk to you about. But it goes against the values and the morals of this company that I work for. So, ah, we, I play within the rules of where you're at. But she, and I don't know, I'm not going to play the audio because I didn't give it to New York to play and I didn't think about it when I heard it last night. Nah, that's all right.
Starting point is 00:17:56 We don't need to get it. It's all right. Yeah, thanks. I don't necessarily need to hear Laura Ingram going off on her people. It's just fascinating to me that someone that is supposed to be, you know, a nationally syndicated host. First of all, if you listen to it, all the power goes out, she loses audio and she starts freaking out. It's amazing to me that she would freak out that bad over something like that. We've all gone through power outages and mics off and things don't work and system goes down.
Starting point is 00:18:32 And you don't know if you're talking to your audience or not, this is out, that is out. And you just keep right plowing through it. You just plow through it. You may mention it. You can talk about it. But you don't freak out like she did. And then she uses her the F word, which I find fascinating. because the mic and for it, she's on a radio.
Starting point is 00:18:59 She's on a radio syndicated deal. She may be on the internet, but her deal is syndicated on radio. That's number one word you don't use on the radio. That's amazing. And off she goes because she thinks everything is gone. Amazing. Laura, you can apologize all you want, baby. But to me, that shows what.
Starting point is 00:19:24 kind of person you are. Wow. Amazing what happens under a little bit of pressure, isn't it, Laura? And she may be feeling a little bit of pressure anyway. I mean, I don't know what I mean by that. I just mean she may be feeling a little pressure from her affiliates. That's all. And after this, have fun. She'll apologize and she'll get fined and it'll be a beautiful thing and she'll be off her merry way and she'll be on all her stations and everything will be happy. It'll all be good. And we'll just love listening to Laura Ingram more than ever, won't we? The Citadel, considering a request from an admitted student that she be allowed to wear a hijab in keeping with her Muslim faith.
Starting point is 00:20:26 I would say that the Citadel is doing the right thing by saying they are considering it. they should consider it for about shorter than they already have and then say, no, have a nice day. Have a nice day. I put this story up on my Facebook page and Twitter page and got a lot of responses from people. All I just said is I know how I feel. And then people were free to tell me how they felt. This is unbelievable to me that, first of all, this is just,
Starting point is 00:21:01 This is our president and his wife telling us we've got to change our traditions, change our history. And they told you that before they took office the first time. And here we go. They already have Muslims at the Citadel. Huh. You mean they've allowed them in, but it's a military academy and you're supposed to be one and the same? Amazing how that happens.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Amazing how that happened. Can I wear a hijab to the Citadel? No. The Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. Jeff Fisher. That's me. Alex Epstein.
Starting point is 00:22:19 The moral case for fossil fuels. I first met Alex when he was on the Jackie D. Show, which airs, on the Blaze Radio Network on Sundays. And he was fantastic. And then he was on, but prior to that, I believe he was on Stu's show, The Wonderful World of Stew. And then on the Blaze Television Network.
Starting point is 00:22:44 And then we brought him on the Glenn Beck program, the radio broadcast. Well, Alex is also the head of the Center for Industrial Progress, and he is the author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. and he is, you know, trying to make a difference. But God love him. He teaches some classes. I know he's got some other stuff going on.
Starting point is 00:23:08 We'll have to talk to him soon about his plan to educate you and me on how to talk to these dingleberries about energy and fossil fuels. But he went in front of a Senate committee last week. And it was pretty impressive. Now, I'll just play his opening statement, and I'll tweet out his full testimony on my Twitter page at Jeff EMRA and Jeff Fisher Radio Facebook. But his opening statement to the Senate committee was great. Mr. Epstein? The energy industry is the industry that powers every other industry. To the extent energy is cheap, plentiful, and reliable, human beings thrive.
Starting point is 00:24:13 To the extent energy is unaffordable, scarce, or unreliable, human beings suffer. Huh. Amazing. I mean, he's all, he comes out fighting out of the box. It's his opening statement at the Environment and Public Works Committee. And yet in this election year, the candidates, especially the Republican candidates, have barely discussed energy. Thus, I'm grateful for the opportunity to discuss the morality of energy policy. When we evaluate energy policies, such as President Obama's efforts to restrict cheap, plentiful, reliable fossil fuels, and mandate solar and wind, it's worth asking, has this been tried before? The answer is, much milder versions of the president's energy policy have been tried in Europe, and they've resulted in skyrocketing energy prices every time.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Take Germany. Over the last decade, Germany pursued the popular ideal of running on the unreliable energy from solar and wind. But since unreliable energy can't be relied upon, it has to be propped up by reliable energy, mostly fossil fuels. The solar panels and wind turbines are an unnecessary and enormous cost to the system. The average German pays three to four times more for electricity than the average American. It's so bad that Germans have had to add a new term to the land. language, energy, poverty. Think of that. Energy, poverty. Alex Epstein, opening statement at the Environment and Public Works Committee, energy poverty is a new term in Germany. Wow. I know that's hard for us here in the U.S. to imagine,
Starting point is 00:25:59 but it may be coming soon. The United States should learn from the failed German economy. experiment. Instead, our president is doubling down on it. And just as ominously, he's calling for even the poorest countries to use unreliables instead of reliables. This in a world where three billion people have almost no access to energy. How could this possibly be moral? The alleged justification is that fossil fuels cause climate change and should therefore be eliminated. But we need to clearly define what we mean by climate change, because while nearly everyone, the 97% agrees that more CO2 in the atmosphere causes some climate change, it makes all the difference in the
Starting point is 00:26:44 world whether that change is a mild, manageable warming or a runaway catastrophic warming. Which is it? If we look at what has been scientifically demonstrated versus what has been speculated, the climate impact of CO2 is mild and manageable. The warming, the warming, of the last 80 years has been barely more than the natural warming that occurred in the 80 years before that, when there were virtually no CO2 emissions. From a geological perspective, both CO2 levels and temperatures are very low. There is no perfect amount of CO2 or perfect average temperature, although higher CO2 levels do create more plant growth, and higher temperatures do lower mortality rates. To be sure, many prominent scientists and organizations predict catastrophe, but this is wild speculation.
Starting point is 00:27:32 and it's nothing new. Alex claiming here wild speculation is nothing new. Huh. There's nothing new. Wild speculation on climate change is nothing new. I wonder if there are any examples from the past, Alex. Indeed, many of today's thought leaders have been falsely predicting catastrophe for decades. 30 years ago, NASA climate leader James Hansen predicted that temperatures would rise by 2 to 4 degrees between 2,000.
Starting point is 00:28:03 2000 and 2010. Instead, depending on which temperature data set you consult, they rose only slightly or not at all. 30 years ago, President Obama's top science advisor, John Holdren, predicted that by now would be approaching a billion CO2-related deaths from famine. Instead, famine has plummeted. More broadly, climate-related deaths, deaths from extreme heat, extreme cold, storms, drought, and floods have decreased at a rate of 50% since the 1980s, and 90s. 98% since major CO2 emissions began 80 years ago. How is it possible that we're safer than ever from the climate? Because while fossil fuel use has only a mild warming impact, it has an enormous protecting impact. Nature doesn't give us a stable, safe climate that we make dangerous.
Starting point is 00:28:52 It gives us an ever-changing dangerous climate that we need to make safe. And the driver behind sturdy buildings, affordable heating and air conditioning, drought relief, and everything else that keeps us safe from climate. is cheap, plentiful, reliable energy, overwhelmingly from fossil fuels. Hmm. Protection from climate overwhelmingly from fossil fuels. Think of that. Alex Epstein in his opening statement at the Environment and Public Works Committee,
Starting point is 00:29:28 it's a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. protection from climate overwhelmingly from fossil fuels. He continues. Thus, the president's anti-fossil fuel policies would harm billions of lives economically and make them more vulnerable to nature's ever-present climate danger. Using more fossil fuels, along with other cheap, plentiful, reliable sources, such as nuclear and hydro, also opposed by most of the environmentalist movement, is a moral imperative. Now, I realize that many of you have fought to restrict fossil fuel use, and it can be politically difficult to change one stand.
Starting point is 00:30:09 But if you continue on your current path, you will cause billions of people to suffer unnecessarily. I hope you reconsider your position. And no matter how politically difficult it is, I hope you change your stand. Now, this was a legislative hearing on examining the role of environmental policies on access. to energy and economic opportunity. That was the stated purpose of the session. Now, big surprise, Barbara Boxer, Senator, Barbara Boxer, Barbara, Barbarot, that's her name.
Starting point is 00:30:52 I call her Barbara. She likes Barbara. That's why I don't call her that. She is, first of all, agonizing, just to start off the day. I mean, let alone hearing her speak and talk about things, but just right off the day. Just wake up and think Barbara Boxer agonizing.
Starting point is 00:31:11 But she, of course, is on this committee. And she gets a little wound up at Alex. And it's worth listening to because you see just how agonizing. You can hear just how agonizing. And I'll tweet out the video of this hearing, but she is. the hell I said, agonizing yet? Mr. Epstein, are you a scientist? No, philosopher.
Starting point is 00:31:42 You're a philosopher? Yes. Okay. Well, this is the Environment and Public Works Committee. I think it's interesting. We have a philosopher here talking about an issue. It's to teach you how to think more clear. Well, you don't have to teach me how to think about it.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Yes, yes, he does, Barbara. For the Senate on your platform. Reverend Nelson, perhaps the most, well, this is the place to have a philosopher, not a scientist. It's perfect for this Republican. You have to integrate the big picture data. She goes off. I'm telling you
Starting point is 00:32:13 that all you have to know is you're a philosopher, not a scientist, and I don't appreciate getting lectured by a philosopher about science. Really, Barbara. You don't appreciate being lectured by a philosopher about science that doesn't agree with what
Starting point is 00:32:31 you believe. That's what you don't want. because then it seemed later in the hearing you proceeded to uphold Pope Francis and Reverend Nelson, who you heard is there, a Presbyterian minister, I guess their authorities, because the Pope and a Presbyterian minister are authorities and on science. I wonder if they agree with Barbara and her climate change plans. Oh, you know what? I think they do. I think they do. Thanks, Senator Barbara Boxer.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Alex, good luck. Amazing that the truth is treated so poorly in this government, isn't it? This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the breeze radio network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. We're going to lose every fission we have. This is unbelievable. What do I do? I can't hear anything.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Laura Angram, come on now. Come on. How long you've been doing the show, Laura? Let's look it up. How long Laura I've been doing the show? Laura Ingram. She's hadn't been doing it for at least 10 years, right? Come on.
Starting point is 00:34:24 She's, I should have looked that up. You know, a good broadcaster would have had that on this. Brought up. I'm beating up Laura and I don't even know the story that I'm going to tell you. A nationally syndicated talk show doesn't say for how long. She had to have been doing it for quite some time, though, right? Hold on. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Yeah, at least since 2003. Right? So, I mean, that's 13 years already. I mean, come on now. She's got people holding their hand this whole time. I'm told I find out now I'm getting reports that Laura isn't as, you know, nice a person as I was led to believe. And this particular meltdown. We got to put a best of on, Drew.
Starting point is 00:35:15 We're going to lose every fucking station we have. This is unbelievable. I would say, and as I said earlier, this particular segment would lead you to believe that perhaps she isn't quite as nice a person as you would think when you hear this. But let me say this. You know, it's frustrating. As a, you know, I get it. It's frustrating. I'm not sticking up for her because I think it's agonizing and she should be smarter than that.
Starting point is 00:35:49 She's sitting in front of her microphone, doing her show, whether she thinks she's off or on or not. When you're doing your show, you should always figure the mic is hot. Rule one of sitting in front of a microphone. It's hot. Someone can hear you. Something is recording what you say. In fact, the one station I used to work for had a thing on, and we never told anybody that you could do it. It was a secret that even when the mics were off, you could push a button on the board in the control room and listen to what's being said in that room.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Huh. So, you should always think that the microphone is hot instead of... We got to put a best of on Drew. We're going to lose every fission we have. Outstanding. Laura, bless your heart. Bless your heart. Hope the fines don't come in too big. Hope the fines don't come in too big. And if you think you can afford those fines, Laura makes a decent wage.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I guarantee you that. And I'm sure Westwood won, as she said, we've got to put a best dove on and call Westwood one. We've got to let them know. We've got to let them know. The power's out. I'm sure that's what your executive producer was doing at the time. That's what they get paid for, Laura.
Starting point is 00:37:48 That's what they get paid for. And I was going to get to some good news, too. We've got some good news on James Cameron and the Avatar. We've got some good news coming from AMC Theater. We've got good news coming from ESPN, and yet... We've got to put a best of on, Drew. We're going to lose every f*** station we have. Good luck, Laura.
Starting point is 00:38:12 I hope it doesn't cost you too much, baby. Well, it would be fascinating to see just how much it does cost. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. It was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program. Now. Stand clear.

You know that, right? I mean, you know that. So, I mean, I tell you, but I really shouldn't have to, and I know that, but I just want to, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:50 drive at home that you don't need to go anywhere. Then right here. Simple. Simple. All right, so I've had this story. I will do a round robin some of the news. that caught my attention over the last few days that, you know, I felt like sharing with you. This story, however, has been in my stack of stories that I haven't gotten to in over a month.
Starting point is 00:40:21 And every time I grab my, I reach up in my holder for the show when I get here on Saturday mornings and I'm pull it out and I look at it and I was like, I don't know, I sat it on top of him. And every so often my daughter comes with me. to the show. And she sees me pull it out and she goes, oh, that's still at the top? That's still on the top. So I have my eight-year-old daughter's like, that's still on the top, Dad? I mean, what are you going to do with it? I'm sick of seeing the picture. Okay, so the picture is of a maggot. And so I can understand why she's sick of seeing it. The story is fascinating. Genetically modified maggots excrete a growth protein.
Starting point is 00:41:08 that helps wounds heal faster. That's some good news, right? Now, they talk about it's, you know, hopefully a change in how we treat the wounds. The strain of green bottlefly, Lucilla cirrhicata larvae, capable of producing a human growth factor in detectable amounts.
Starting point is 00:41:35 The growth factor could accelerate wound healing especially in patients with diabetes and other conditions that produce persistent ulcers and sores. Now, this is where it gets interesting. If it's not interesting enough already, having maggots, thinking about maggots crawling all over your wounds, helping them heal. The term maggot may sound distasteful. No. No, stop that. But the little critters can play a significant role in clinical situations.
Starting point is 00:42:05 sterile, lab-raised version of the green bottle fly larvae are sometimes used in maggot debridement therapy. It's called MDT, a technique that stimulates healing by removing dead tissue and cleansing a wound. So it'll be great for home care. Honey, the maggots are here. MBT is approved by the FDA, but they claim that the clinical studies of the technique have shown little or no improvement in here. healing following the course of treatment. That's kind of strange. Now, that's the maggot debridement therapy, the MDT.
Starting point is 00:42:47 But the new, the new strain of the green bottle fly larvae, now now we're talking, the genetically modified maggots that we're going to put on your wounds to heal. Now we're talking. So that's something to look forward to. the new genetically modified maggots helping heal your wounds. Good news. In the world of sport.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Dron racing. ESPN will be covering it. Many casual observers realized drone racing had become a thing when they discovered last month that the British teen had landed a prize of more than $250,000 winning the inaugural World Dron Prix in Dubai. Come on now.
Starting point is 00:43:47 How come we haven't seen that? The Sport Network's first IDRA event will be the 2016 U.S. National Dron Racing Championship taking place on Governor's Island in New York City over three days in August, first part of August. All the action will be live streamed on ESPN3 and later broadcast. one hour special on its TV channel. Yeah, baby. International drone racing association. Dron races.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Get ready for it. Think you can handle it? More good news. And this is, this story is good news slash might be bad news. The movie Avatar. James Cameron. Now, I'm one of the few people that actually kind of enjoyed the stupid. movie.
Starting point is 00:44:47 And I kind of liked it. It was okay. I don't mind watching it. It's okay. All right. You can have, that's a movie you can have on and do stuff around the house and the kids can watch it. And there's nothing, you know, it's okay.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Well, James Cameron has informed us that there's going to be four, count them four. One, two, three, four sequels to have. Avatar. Cameron outlined a Christmas release schedule for the films. Avatar 2, Christmas of 2018. Avatar 3 in Christmas 2020. Avatar 4 in Christmas 22. And Avatar 5 in Christmas 2020. each one of which stands alone, Cameron promised.
Starting point is 00:45:58 But together form a complete saga. So I'm not sure that that's actually something I want to look forward to or not. I'm just letting you know James Cameron is planning on four Avatar sequels. More good news that may turn into bad news. AMC. We've talked on this broadcast about. movie theaters. And it's, you know, how they're, I know they're trying, they're trying hard. I know they're trying and they're fighting tooth and nail to keep people coming to the theaters.
Starting point is 00:46:35 And we've got new movie theaters going up all over the country where you can go in and sit back and your tilt back and order food and watch a movie and it's comfortable and it's nice and it's a cute little thing. But I need to, I believe I've developed a plan and I'm going to think about a little bit more and work out some of the details on development and plan for the, new releases to be released into your home a pay-per-view so that you do not have to go to the theaters and yet a way for you to still want to go to the theaters and see movies and keep the theaters alive.
Starting point is 00:47:12 It has to be both ways because the movie theaters will never let it happen. They'll fight tooth and nail and they already are. There's already been some talk, some people in Hollywood using my plan, using my plan under their name about releasing movies, pay-per-view, new. So, hello Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Me. Okay? I'm the one that came up with the idea a number of years ago. And I also have some ideas for the cable company that will help them stay alive as well. Call me. Okay?
Starting point is 00:47:47 Just, I'm here to help. I'm here to help you. Okay. AMC. Creating an idea, throwing it out there, and I'm sure they're throwing it out there just to get a feel for it, that they might let soon millennials use their phones during the movies? Uh, yeah, no. One of the benefits of going to the movie theater is not having the distractions of the
Starting point is 00:48:17 world around you when you're in the theater. The CEO, Adam Aaron of AMC Entertainment, um, he says he's considered letting theater goers use mobile. devices during film screenings. That way, young people with smartphones will want to attend more movies. Will they? When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don't ruin the movie, they hear, please cut off your left arm above the elbow. Perhaps I am a huge internet user and a huge phone user. I mean, I use, I'm online and use the phone for many, many things all day long. And I'm addicted.
Starting point is 00:49:19 And in fact, we're talking to a lady this hour, Candace Owens, who is the founder of Degree180.com. But she is just starting a new plan to help about cyberbulls. And we've talked a little bit about cyber bullying in the past. And you know how I'm kind of like, it's hard for me to believe that it actually happens. But we're talking to her about it. Anyway, she's got a new plan and a new site that she's throwing out there to try to help with people with cyberbullying issues. So we'll see what her plan is and see if it works and see if I can live with it or not.
Starting point is 00:50:13 because I first read about this. I had someone send it to me on my Facebook page, Jeff Fisher Radio, and say, if this is real, it's scary, her new plan. And I read it, and it didn't seem that scary, but it could be. All our information is out there, right? All our information is out there. So have we given up our privacy? Sure.
Starting point is 00:50:43 But we still have some privacy left, right? like, oh, I don't know, the movie theater. That's why we go to the movie theater. And dear 22-year-old, tough. Shut it off. Watch the movie. Put it in airplane mode. It'll still be on.
Starting point is 00:51:05 It's okay. Put it on vibrate. So every once in a while, you can slide it out of your pocket and just kind of glance at it to see if Billy called. or Joni text you that she's going to be at the laundromat for two hours. That's what you missed, okay? Sad. I say no to that.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Or I guess, you know, I guess you could have separate ones, you know. If you want to use your phone, you can only see this theater. And what will happen is that that will be the theater that isn't sold out. So you'll decide, well, I'll just go and watch the movie in this theater because I want to see the movie. and I don't care if people are talking on their phone. And it'll ruin the AMC experience. So good luck with the AMC experience, new plan, allowing those phones in the movie theater to be used.
Starting point is 00:52:09 So don't you want to just spend the 30, 40 bucks on the new release and let a show in your house? Even 50. I mean, what the heck? You go to a movie. You take a family to the movies. You're spending 50 bucks. You might.
Starting point is 00:52:25 The last time I went to the theater, I probably said, last time I went to the theater, it was cheap to get in. I mean, I ordered the tickets online, so I didn't have to wait in line. I got tickets. Yeah, yeah, bloop, I'm in.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Boop. Got them online, scan the line. But then you go to the movie theater and for some reason, your children decide that they want to have popcorn and soda and some sort of other chocolatey snack.
Starting point is 00:52:56 I don't know, maybe because they have fresh popcorn smell throughout the entire theater that hooks you in. That puts you in the mental state of must have popcorn, must have popcorn, must have popcorn. So yeah, your tickets were only $5 a piece. You're fortunate you got right in. You bought them online. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:53:17 And now, is that all you need there? The three popcorns, the three sodas, and the three boxes of Skittles? and maybe the milk duds. Yeah. That'll be $852, please. I know, but the tickets were only $5 a pop.
Starting point is 00:53:34 I know, I know, but the popcorn is on sale, but the candy's not on sale, and those are $25 bucks a pop. Can I put one back? No. This is The Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The Fisher Show returns on the Blaze Radio Network. All right.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Cheers. Sick. All right, Candace Owens coming up. We'll talk to her a little bit about a new project that she has social autopsy.com. And at first glance, it seems a little like, what, no? Wait, what, wait, what? So we'll talk to her about that and see what her plan is and see what she's hoping to have happened with the project. I was just looking.
Starting point is 00:54:49 I was looking at one story about social, autopsy. And it looks like the Kickstarter page was suspended a couple days ago, so we'll have to ask her about that and see if that's what she wanted, what's going on. We'll figure it out.
Starting point is 00:55:09 We'll figure it up. Actually, I'm interested to know what her plan is and why we need it. Because I'm telling you, I get it. I get it. No, I don't. I don't understand the cyberbullying thing. I really don't.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Um, you could get attacked any day of your life on from a text saying, um, I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. Um, delete. Move on. I mean, it was, I would figure out. One of my favorite stories this week. And it's not really a favorite story.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Actually, it's kind of agonizing. these Dallas mothers arrested and held in jail for five days over an alleged hot dog theft. The story is they went to New Orleans for an event, happened in their car to drive back to Dallas. Now they packed a lunch and they planned to stop at a gas station to heat up their food when the time came. Okay. First of all, if I'm the gas station, I'm a little pissed. You just came in to use my microwave by a cell. to do something. However, and so when they pulled into the gas station convenience store in Iberia, Louisiana,
Starting point is 00:56:36 they went in, warmed up their soup, the hot dogs went back to the car. They were stopped by the Iber police officer who accused the two women of eating two hot dogs, two milkshakes, and an icy in the convenience store without paying. No. So there's nothing on their records, and so he let them go. and they said, hey, look at the surveillance video. You can see what happened. But they were given a court date of March 14th. They go back.
Starting point is 00:57:15 They can't afford an attorney. I would have called. This is all just the court wanting to make money now that I'm saying it out loud. They should have got an attorney from Iberia or whatever and had him go down there and say, hey, Your Honor, get over it. So they go back to the hearing. And they were told, hey, no jury trial is going to take place. They were told law enforcement viewed the surveillance footage and saw both women leaving the store with items in hand.
Starting point is 00:57:39 No mention of the hot dogs. Women pled not guilty. I'm sure they didn't get to see the surveillance video. And the court date was set for May 25th. As they were getting ready to leave and come back, they said, hey, we think they're a flight risk. And the judge says, okay. Now they can't make the bail money so they get thrown in jail. Unbelevable.
Starting point is 00:58:05 So after three or four days, one of the local attorneys hears their deal and gets them out and sends them home. But they still have to go back for their trial, May 25th. I think the Iberia justice system in Louisiana needs a little fixing going on. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome to it. 888-90-0-33 is the phone number.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Mike Opelka, Puro Pelka, coming up immediately following this broadcast. I'm not sure what Mike is giving away today. I heard in the break room that, and I, you know, look, you know, you take with a grain of salt, what you're hearing the break room. But I heard that he's having the antibacterial stunt brain fluid for your hands. So, you know, good luck. Get a bottle of stunt brain, anti-bacterial cream. It'd be good for you.
Starting point is 00:59:41 All right. Cyberbullying. Do you believe in it? You kind of have to. We hear stories more and more every day, right? I mean, we all have children or someone we know. It uses the Internet every day. I have a different breed.
Starting point is 00:59:59 I mean, I got it. I use it every day, you know, too much, probably. If I was diagnosed, I'd be diagnosed with too much internet addiction. And I, you know, look, I'm used to being abused. Just listen to this network. But, you know, you can't bully me online. Come on now. Come on.
Starting point is 01:00:21 If my children, if my daughter, if my son came to me and said, I just got a thing from the kid around the corner on. my phone, which by the way, my daughter won't have for quite some time. And it said, he thinks I'm ugly and hates me. I would say, delete. You don't need to see that dingleberry anymore. And don't worry about him move on. However, I guess, you know, for some it isn't that easy.
Starting point is 01:01:03 So I read a story about a new, Kickstarter program to create something called social autopsy social autopsy. And I think to myself, I don't know if that sounds good or not. So,
Starting point is 01:01:26 I contacted Candace Owens, the founder, CEO. And I said, Candice, you're coming out of my show. Or I've got to cyber, no, I asked her and she agreed. Candice, welcome to the show. How are you? Hi, I am doing very well this morning. How are you?
Starting point is 01:01:45 Good. Oh, so good. All right. Social autopsy, your other site, degree 180.com. What are you, what, first of all, let's stop. Social autopsy, what are you hoping to achieve with this? honestly all we're really hoping to achieve is that through a very simple means of accountability you know instead of people being able to post anonymously on the web if they knew you know that they had to be who they are they may pull back on some of the things that they're saying okay so if i say something bad anywhere Sometimes I mean it, sometimes I don't. You know, sometimes I may say something and two people agree and two people think it's mean.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Who decides? Well, no one decides. I think, first off, I think bad is a very subjective word, right? I mean, how bad are we talking? I think for us what we are looking for are the people that just take things a step a little too far. when we're talking about exercising, you know, hate speech and threats to people on the web and doing it anonymously, you know, or trying to, you know, hide yourself. We don't think that's acceptable. So, I mean, I guess just kind of talking about what the word bad means because I think people are afraid.
Starting point is 01:03:20 We're talking about an opinion, which everyone has opinions, you know, and people can get a little, you know, hostile back and forth, but we're not talking about opinions. Okay. So what happens when someone says, hey, that person is bullying me and they come to you? So they would fill out what we have is pretty much a submission form. And that submission form goes, it kind of functions like a tip line for us. It kind of gets filtered into a box and they include links. And we can go and observe the situation ourselves and make sure that we do the due diligence to determine that the person is, in fact, the person that they say they are. And all we do is we don't even say, you know, this is bullying or this is harassment
Starting point is 01:04:09 this person should be fired. We just create, you know, an easily accessible digital record of it. And that's it. I mean, it's up to whoever reads the words to interpret whether or not they think it's, you know, harassment, this or that in our database. Okay. How's it going? I've been reading since we chatted through email, I looked around and searched around a little bit, and it seems that you are taking some heat for this.
Starting point is 01:04:39 going? You know, it's actually as of this morning going pretty well. I think we're starting to narrow down on how this all got started. There was, you know, pretty much what seemed to be like a viral smear campaign saying a bunch of things about our database that were just categorically false. And, you know, going off of our Kickstarter video, which I don't think any of us could have predicted was going to be so popular. So what started, what got you into the idea that, you know, we really should do something about this, and this is what we should do? You know, so I think we're kind of getting, you know, foremost, when I was in high school, Facebook had just started. And I think that was sort of the genesis, the beginning of the end, actually, I should say the genesis of the revelation.
Starting point is 01:05:31 And we were just able to see how easy it is and to feel like you said, you would tell your kid, just walk away from it. It's just not that easy. It really isn't. Why not? Why isn't that easy? Because especially, I think, for children, but it's hard to being a kid. You know, you don't even know about yourself. Like, you know, you don't, you're not confident yet. You're not sure of who you are in the world. You know, you have tremendous insecurities that you wear every single day and just have someone reinforce it. You know, you just start to believe it. Okay, but when we have that our entire lives. I just seems like it would seem easier to just let it go.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Oh my gosh. There should be a song. There should be a song. All right. Yeah, I do think it's a little harder. You know, we're young and we've come up in this generation. I think that some of the opinions coming from people, people who haven't had to live it as a kid.
Starting point is 01:06:39 It's just, it's different. It's a different understanding, but I totally understand it. Well, I mean, look, every kid's been taunted throughout time somehow. Right, right. But now you can't just leave it at school. You know, once upon a time you get into a fight, get shoved into a locker and go home. Now, before you get home, it's on Twitter, it's on Instagram. It's recorded by your friends in the hallway, and it's got a like from your crush, you know, or a thumbs up.
Starting point is 01:07:06 So it's just, it's more. There's just more to deal with, I think. I get that. All right. So what are some of the things that you see being said about your platform that are completely false? The number one thing, which was essentially just a fair campaign, is that we docks minors and put up their addresses to make it easier for pedophiles to find them. It's just, it's so false and so crazy, you know, because we built this to help minors, you know, to help people and kind of shift how people are using the internet. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:49 So, and so it's just not anyone. I can't just say Billy next door is bugging me and I want him up on your website so I can search to see if Billy is on there. Is that how I would do it? I'm confused at how if I get bullied by Billy and I'm mad at Billy and I go to autopsy and you say, okay, you know what, Billy deserves to be on my website. Okay, so then what? Then what? So in that example, I'm assuming Billy has had something pretty extreme. You know, just to give you an example is like you should buy a gun and shoot yourself in the head, you know, nobody wants. you to live anymore, that sort of a thing, which we think is important to create a digital,
Starting point is 01:08:34 you know, archive of. If you'd have to have his first and last name, you could, you know, we'd enter him into our database. Our database can only be searched by a full name. So you can't just be like, I'm just going to browse and see who was added to social autopsy today. It doesn't work that way. What we're trying to create this database for is like, you know, employers, university schools because I think this stuff is really important to take a look at. It's kind of like a social background check. I think once upon a time, you know, it's, I mean, it still is relevant, but people were so focused on criminal background checks, you know,
Starting point is 01:09:12 like somebody smokes pot and someone finds it and it affects whether or not they get a scholarship or a job. Me personally, I don't care so much about that, but I do think as an employer, I wouldn't hire someone that I saw was going around. telling people to kill themselves. To me, it's disturbing. That's my personal opinion. We're just giving people, you know, an opportunity to kind of see that trend because we think it's very important.
Starting point is 01:09:41 We're arriving at a largely digital era right now. So when is it up and running? You know, because of everything that's happened with the Kickstarter campaign, we have just a lot of stuff on the table right now. that we kind of need to sift through before we can give you any guaranteed date of when we're going to be up. We were looking at much sooner, but we just got to give it some time now. And how much time?
Starting point is 01:10:10 How much time? When am I going to be able to? First of all, first of all, once it goes back up, how do I access it? I mean, I just have to type in a full name like Billy Joe Dupree or whatever is. Oh, no, that's a real name. Never mind. Just joking. You know, Johnny.
Starting point is 01:10:29 Yeah. Okay. Yep. Jeff Fisher, New York. And, you know, your picture would come up and then you'd be able to see it. It's a free database to search. There's no, you know, there's no place to comment, obviously. We can't host comments.
Starting point is 01:10:44 And so if you type in, and please don't type my name in because it's going to come up no matter what database you're in. But you type in Jeff Fisher and New York and my picture comes up and underneath my picture, it says, my God, what a loser. Is that what it says? I mean, what is it just, what, what is the rundown? I'm confused at what it's saying. Oh, under your, under your picture would be a screenshot of what you said. It would be captured what you said.
Starting point is 01:11:12 A history of what I've said. You, yeah, there's no, we don't, we don't write anything. We're not sitting here saying, you know, Jeff is a really bad guy or, you know, of course not, because that's a form of bullying. That would be a form of bullying ourselves. It's just a record. Okay. Okay. All right. So what's the outside date that we're going to have it? You know, it's... You know, I don't want to say a date and be held to it. We have completely built the database and we have a ton of people on it. But as I said, because of this Kickstarter quotation marks scandal, we have had a lot more opportunities than we could have ever dreamed of right now. And, you know, this all just happened. It's in the last.
Starting point is 01:11:56 What was the Kickstarter scandal? You know, our Kickstarter, essentially an individual or two, got very upset about our database, which I think the reasons may have been because they are some of them. Would end up on it? Yes. But they had a lot to lose.
Starting point is 01:12:18 And they started this, they started, they went to the gaming community, which is a very tight-knit community. I don't know anything about gaming. So I'm speaking, you know, just as in terms of what just happened and started tweeting, you know, this is, they're going to be doxing minors, you know, minors are going to be getting killed. They started tweeting to the FBI to parenting organizations and then they coordinated on 4chan.org to have everyone in and date Kickstarter and telling, and pretending to be parents saying like, you know, my, you know, the minors are going to. going to be doxed. So you were bullied on Kickstarter?
Starting point is 01:12:59 Yeah. You were bullied on Kickstarter. It's ironic, yeah. But it didn't affect us, obviously. We're not going to be cyber bullied into not doing anything about cyberbullying. Good. Now, a couple of quick things that I want to know now. You can access it for free.
Starting point is 01:13:13 But how do you know that it's the real Jeff Fisher from New York? I mean, it could be. So we do that. We do that research. And it's very, very simple. You know, like, anybody can really do what we're doing. It's just connecting the dots. It's not difficult to see if it's a fake Facebook account.
Starting point is 01:13:32 You know what I mean? Because that person has one or two friends. If Jeff Fisher has one or two friends, then, you know, it's a little suspect. If Jeff Fisher is posting all of his stuff and all of his radio interviews and his mom is writing on his wall, you know, she's so proud of this or that. And he's got his school LinkedIn, and he's in all the groups. It's very obvious to know when you're dealing with a troll account across any of the social media accounts. Candace, I'm up against the clock. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 01:14:02 I appreciate it. Candice Owens. Thank you so much. Is there an information site you'd like people to go to, or are we just waiting to get that back up? We're just waiting to get it back up at the moment. We just kind of got inundated. But, you know, in the meantime, they can contact us at, contact at degree 180.com. If they have any questions or concerns, we definitely want to make sure we remain.
Starting point is 01:14:22 transparent in this process. Candace Owens, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Have a good one. Here we go. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. That it is. Have a great week. Take care of yourself and always remember.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Every f***ing station we have. Yeah, we're going to lose every station. Laura, be careful. Have a good way. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
