This is the Blaze Radio on demand.
When our water heater broke down last month, it was a nightmare.
It took five hours for the plumber to show up,
and he charged us a couple of hundred bucks just to come out.
Then it cost another $1,800 to put in the new water heater.
By the time it was all said and done, I felt like I'd been taken.
But what else could I do?

Welcome to it.

So Fiji, getting hit hard with a Cyclone.
Cyclone Winston.
I think Fiji may be just disappeared.
It would be gone.
Poof, gone.
This is a huge storm, Category 5,
taking its toll on Fiji right now,
as we speak.
Electricity's out already.
180-mile-an-hour winds,
220-mile-an-hour gusts.
Anybody that has ever been in a hurricane,
tropical storm, I spent years in Florida,
180 mile an hour winds
it's doing some damage
and the thing about hurricanes
is it smashes you from one side
and then it goes through and comes back and you think
you take that
and then it bashes you again from the other side
so it's not good
so you may want to
if you like Fiji
say a prayer for him
because they're getting hammered
as we speak, and they may be gone.
Polls open in South Carolina in minutes, less than an hour away,
and then they stay open until 7 p.m. tonight in the Republican primary.
Vote.
I won't tell you who I think you should vote for.
I haven't endorsed anyone else since I endorsed Jim Gilmore a little over a week ago,
and Mr. Gilmore dropped out last weekend.
covered that in depth last week.
I got many, many requests to endorse Donald Trump so that he would drop out.
I fear that will not happen, whether I endorse him or not.
Today is also the funeral of Antonin Scalia, Supreme Court Justice, Antonin Scalia,
who died last week, Saturday after this broadcast aired.
and there's all kinds of
I don't know if I want to call it controversy
just
slices of
facts, bits and pieces of the story, things
that don't add up around his death
but no matter what
his funeral is today
11 a.m.
at the Basilica of the National Shrine
of the Immaculate Conception
if you're not aware what that
is it's a Catholic pilgrimage site in northeast Washington.
When Pope Francis was here, he visited it.
The funeral is open to friends and family and is sure to attract many of Washington's top-notch hobnobs, right?
And then there's going to be a private burial at an unannounced location after the mass.
Many of the justices are buried at Arlington, but they have declined to let people know where Antenon will be buried at.
that our president, President Obama, accompanied by First Lady Michelle Obama, paid their respects yesterday to Justice Scalia, who was lying in repose at the Supreme Court.
He will not be attending the funeral.
We are told Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his wife, Jill Biden, will attend.
in his stead
shameful
with no good excuse
of why
he's not going
it looks as though
it's been
it looks as though it may have never happened
at least
65 years
but it may have never happened
that the president
of the United States
States of America did not attend a Supreme Court Justice's funeral who was a sitting Supreme Court
Justice at the time.
I was reading stories, wow, President Clinton and President Bush, and they didn't go,
and they didn't go.
They didn't go to funerals of former Supreme Court justices who had retired.
They were not on the bench when they passed away.
if you are the president of the United States
and a Supreme Court justice passes away
Mr. President Obama,
you're damn near required to go to that funeral
and it's shameful that you're not going to that funeral.
Shameful.
Let's see what a shameful mean.
Is there other words for shameful?
Let's see what that would be.
Oh, disgraceful, deplorable, despicable,
contemptible, disemptible, disoble, disoctable, disoble, diso
dishonorable, discreditable, reprehensible, low, unworthy, ignoble, shabby, shocking, scandalous, outrageous, atrocious, appalling, vile, odious, heinous, egregious, inexcusable, unforgivable, embarrassing, humiliating, degrading.
just to name a few.
I have no idea why this makes me so mad.
But it does.
It is shameful that our president will not go to this funeral.
Now, I read some pretty good tweets of a number of people who were upset and some not so upset.
Chris Hayes, some amazing advice my mom gave me once, he says in his tweet.
If you're wondering whether you should go to the funeral, you should go to the funeral.
Guy Benson, oh man, is Obama planning to golf through Scalia's funeral?
Wouldn't surprise any of us, would it?
I mean, I don't know that he's that bad of a guy.
I mean, I have a feeling that he just didn't want to go to this funeral.
So he's going to hide in the White House.
But if he goes golfing, shameful.
You know what?
Shameful squared if he goes golfing.
It's just shameful him not being there.
Megan McArdle, Obama skipping Scalia's funeral without any urgent excuse, looks petty and graceless.
Correct.
Laura Ingram, who cares if Obama misses the Scalia funeral?
I doubt the justice would.
Laura, you know that's not the point.
You're smarter than that.
you know that's not the point and I get it ha ha who cares he probably didn't want him there anyway
um no and if we hear about security issues and not wanting to since when has that bothered
this president goes anywhere he damn well wants at any time he wants without any care of that
we've seen video of his motorcade stopping a pregnant woman from crossing the street to get to the
hospital. Stop it. He cares zip about that. And the second of that, if we hear that a security,
it's Washington, D.C. The security is probably pretty heavy as it is. And I get it. He doesn't know how to
act at funerals. You know, we've seen him. We saw him at the funeral of Nelson Mandela in South
Africa taking selfies with other leaders. Ha, ha, ha, yucking it up with his girlfriend.
with his Danish girlfriend, and even Michelle, you know, it was a good point watching that.
You know, at first we were, we joked around about Michelle being pissed at Barack for flirting around with his Danish girlfriend or his wannabe Danish girlfriend.
But, you know, really, hopefully, hopefully, I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that I guarantee she would never give me that she was pissed because he was just taking self.
and talking and joking around at this funeral.
I hope that was the case.
I'm probably wrong.
She was just pissed at him for fooling around with the Danish girl.
So I get it.
He wasn't taught that you go to a funeral and show you respects.
There's a lot of different things he wasn't taught about America when he was growing up.
But the Chris Hayes advice is pretty good advice for parents to give their children.
If you're wondering whether you should go to the funeral, you should go to the funeral.
And I know it's not about him.
I get it.
That's one of the reasons he doesn't want to go.
Can't pay his respect to another human being that isn't him.
I got it, Mr. President.
I got it.
Shameful.
And then we get news yesterday or the day before that he'll be traveling to Cuba next.
month. Of course, they're opening up
their zone, their work zone,
their big
special zone where they're going to start
building tractors and let Cuba start
getting back into building things
for their country.
There's still a communist country, by the
way.
And they still treat their people
like garbage.
People still want to
hop on rubber tires and float
to Florida to get into the United States.
But never mind that.
So he's going to go to Cuba and shake hands with Raoul and look at the new.
I can remember what the heck they're calling it now.
Their new certainly isn't capitalism zone,
but that's what they want us to believe it is.
But while in Cuba, since, I mean, he's a busy man, got a busy schedule.
What do you think?
Maybe we stop in at Guantanamo.
Say hello to the soldiers.
He's made such a big deal about closing it down.
You'd think he'd want to, I don't.
I don't know, take a walk around, see what he's closing down, shake hands with the soldiers, thank him for their work.
Nope.
Did I mention shameful, shameful, shameful?
Did I mention disgraceful, deplorable, despicable, contemptible, dissuptable, discreditedable, reprehensible, lo, igonement.
When our water heater broke down last month, it was a nightmare.
It took five hours for the plumber to show.
up and he charged us a couple of hundred bucks just to come out.
Then it cost another $1,800 to put in the new water heater.

3.93 is the phone number.
Coming up immediately following this broadcast,
a pured-opelika with Mike Opelka.
I'm not sure what his giveaway is this week,
or if he has one or not.
But I was listening to some people in the break room,
and they were excited about some new hand lotion,
pure Opelka hand lotion or something.
But I don't know if that's the giveaway this week or not,
but you might listen.
He might be able to call in and get that from Mike.
And then at noon, Chris Salsato, Mike Slater, and Joe Pags on Saturday all live on the Blaze Radio Network.
Saturday's live.
All right.
So don't forget we had Sundays belong to the dead now, walking dead's episode, the brand new one, six season, second half of the season last Sunday.
Wow, won an episode.
And you can, you know, we bring you talking walking dead on Mondays.
so you can go to the blaze.com slash radio and download that,
and we kind of recap the episode and look toward the future.
This week I was joined by Jason Betrell and Aaron Hernandez,
as we recapped Walking Dead.
What an episode, tremendous episode.
One of the best, actually, I believe.
One of the best in a long time for sure this season.
Oh, my gosh.
For sure this season, but one of the best.
This season has been really, really good.
And so anyway, it was really, really good.
And we had the Grammys this week,
which were just bad, bad.
Boring.
Oh, my God.
So totally boring.
Unbelievable.
And, I mean, there's world-class acts, you know, in quotation marks.
And Adele, one of the biggest stars in the world today, they can't even get her sound right.
Come on now.
Who's running this joint?
The NFL halftime people?
I mean, just bad, bad.
And I turned it on.
and my wife is, you know, she's not going to watch.
So we get into a fight about whether to watch it, whether to turn it up.
I want to watch it.
It's, you know, newsy, right?
It's the Grammys.
All these dingleberries are in the news with their stupid tweets and their stupid ideas.
Just sing.
Anyway.
And, you know, Kanye and the battle.
Anyway.
So we get in a fight about that.
And I win a little bit and I tell her the only way that she gets me out of there.
You may have been following on Twitter.
We had a little inside Twitter war at the house.
But the only way to get me out of the bedroom watching the Grammys
is to have her dad, or folks live with us,
have her dad want to watch the latest Walking Dad episode.
Because it was, Grammys were Monday night,
and he hadn't watched the latest episode.
So I would watch it again with him.
And she made sure that happened for some reason.
He miraculously came to the door.
Said, hey, want to watch the walking?
Okay.
So I turn it on and what's her face?
Carrie Underwood is singing with some guy and the song is just bad.
I mean, come on.
I don't care how good Carrie looks and how hot the guy looks.
The song is just bad.
Just bad.
Just bad.
So Grammys, come on now.
Stop.
And Kanye, I know you're begging.
I know you're begging.
Facebook, you're saying you're in debt.
You want Facebook to bail you out.
You may want to think about, oh, I don't know,
asking Zuckerberg to bail you out on Facebook and not Twitter.
It could be one of the reasons you're 53 mill in debt,
which I probably is more.
I'm sure he burns through some cash, him and the wife.
I mean, you just don't live that lifestyle for free.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Zuckerberg bail him out.
even though Kanye maybe Facebook is the way to ask.
You know, he is, just a reminder, let's see, Facebook, not Twitter.
So anyway, I wouldn't be surprised to see Zuckerberg bail him out.
Just because, why not?
Just make Kanye Facebook exclusive, right?
Right.
Right.
Right. I wouldn't be surprised to see that happen.
And then in other Hollywood news, David Milch, I find this guy fascinating.
He created Deadwood, NYPD Blue, Hill Street Blues.
These TV shows, right?
And he, there are millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars, at least tens of millions of dollars.
They're claiming now he lost 100 million betting on horses.
You'd think maybe at some point, this guy, David Miller.
He's his family.
You're a baby.
I know it's a disease.
I got it.
It's a sickness.
He was fighting himself.
Well, he lost a hundred million dollars betting on horses.
You'd think maybe the family after 50 million would say,
hey, Dave, no more.
We'd like to survive.
Nope.
Hey, we're broke now.
Got to sell everything.
I'm out 100 mil betting on horses.
No, Dave.
No.
Take it easy, Dave.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show.
Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show.
It's 188-90-33-93 is the phone number.
It's going to be fascinating to see the outcome of South Carolina primary, Republican GOP primary today.
It may not be fascinating if the outcome is what they say it's going to be.
but it was fascinating to watch.
So good luck to candidates that we'd like to see win.
Many would say that that is a Ted Cruz.
So I'm in, Sam, I'm in the Sprint store the other day with my wife.
Looking at, you know, whatever, she wanted to check out something.
And they actually helped us in, you know, another, some kind of new deal.
Who knows?
I don't know.
I don't pay attention.
The guy is standing there talking to my wife, and my wife is, you know, talking about this.
She asked me, what do I think?
What do I think?
Here's what I think.
I don't want to lose any of the benefits I have right now, and I want to spend less money.
That's what I want.
If you've created that, that's the deal I want.
Okay?
If you can't give me the same product or more that I have already for less money, we don't need to talk.
We're done.
I've already got to deal with you.
And my wife was like, oh my gosh.
What's wrong with that?
I don't want to talk to these people.
I just don't.
So anyway, they have this thing in their store from what's her name, Kate Spade of New York.
She's a designer.
She's got phone cases.
Designer laptop sleeves.
And I'm looking at these designs.
I am missing a boat with them.
my daughter. My daughter, some of the stuff she draws is beautiful and beautiful enough for a phone
case. I'm just going to call it Maya. M.YA. We're just going to create Maya and that's going to be
our deal. I mean, I was, I stopped and looked. I mean, I seriously, I was just stood and stared at
Kate Spade, New York, a phone case designed.
Kate Spade, stop it.
I mean, I got it.
I think it's a great idea.
Congratulations, Kate.
You got a deal.
I should have thought of it before you.
I should have had my daughter drawing stuff for these stupid phone cases years ago.
It was a great idea.
And then I read a story about this lady of cancer survivor who designs cards.
She whizzes.
She received.
and I thought, you know, how many times have we said that?
How many times have we thought?
And we've joked around.
Cards, you know, are they're not that good.
I'm not a big fan of them, really.
I like giving them just simply because they're okay.
I'd rather have, you know, have the kids make their own cards.
It's more personal.
It's better, right?
And it says what they want to say, whether it's, you know, I love you or I'll see you next week or whatever it is.
And the picture is what they want the picture to be.
Whatever that is.
And so it's more personal.
So this Emily McDowell was diagnosed with stage three, Hodgkin's lymphoma, at 24.
And she's in remission now.
And she claims that the most difficult part of the illness wasn't losing her hair,
you know, being called Sir at Starbucks.
But she writes that many of the close friends and family members disappeared.
out of her life because they didn't know what to say.
Or, you know, people say the absolutely, absolute wrong thing.
So she has come up with cards, the empathy cards, for people to actually give that are real life.
The first one that you see is, I'm really sorry.
I haven't been in touch.
I didn't know what to say.
I mean, how many times have you said that to yourself that you just wanted to say?
This is a tremendous idea.
Just so you know, card number two,
I'm totally on board for driving you to treatment,
cleaning your place,
helping pick up flattering wigs,
coming up with badass visualization exercises,
and if you twist my arm,
I guess I'd also be cool with lying on the couch
and watching trashy TV together.
I know it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
I love you.
Come on.
And people have a hard time
seeing friends and family,
suffering and going through the whole cancer thing.
And you can, that's what I call it, the whole cancer thing.
It's just bad.
I mean, I've seen it, I've been up close and personal a couple of times.
One turned out bad.
The other turned out good.
Actually, a couple times turned out good.
And it's during the process, it's really frustrating because you don't, you know, people say,
look, everything happens for a reason.
And that's when you give the card,
please let me be the first to punch the next person
who tells you everything happens for a reason.
I'm sorry you're going through this.
Right?
I mean, that's like the pregnant woman
that everybody wants to touch your belly.
A no.
I know hashtag F cancer doesn't help you get through it.
I'm here anytime you need me.
A great idea.
A great idea, right?
Giving cards that actually say what you want them to say.
Emily McDowell,
I'm so sorry you're sick.
I want to say, you know, that I will never try to sell you on some random treatment I read about on the internet.
Right?
When life gives you lemons, I won't tell you a story about my cousin's friend who died of lemons.
One more chemo down.
Let's celebrate with whatever doesn't taste disgusting.
and that's what chemo is.
For those of you want to wear, it's poison.
They put it in your body to kill everything.
And then your body fights back, hopefully.
That's what the hope is.
Kill everything in your bloodstream and then in your body.
But while the chemo is busy killing, you don't feel very good.
I promise never to refer to your illness as a,
Journey unless someone takes you on a cruise.
Cute little cards from Emily McDowell.
And, you know, tremendous idea.
Million-dollar idea.
And so is Kate Spade, New York.
The Sprint phone covers.
iPhone covers.
Samsung phone covers.
I'm serious about my daughter.
I've got to get that going.
Doesn't even need to be New York or Texas or Dallas.
Just my...
We've got to make that happen on phones.
But selling is, I've always kind of hated selling.
I'm not a sales guy.
You know, on the radio or television, I mean, I can, I'm happy to tell you about products
and hopefully you decide to purchase those products because I find them good enough for
other people, for me to use and for you to use.
but actually sell you something,
I've always hated that.
And that's because you have to close, right,
what they call close.
And that means close the deal.
End it.
Make the deal.
You buy it or what?
In or out.
I've just always hated it.
I was thinking about that because Doc Thompson and Skipalcombe were here in Dallas this week.
And so I had an opportunity to see them, you know, a few times
while they were here in town.
And, well, I don't know if I should tell you that.
We were talking about a couple of ideas that Doc has for the show.
And he was, we were joking around.
And I started telling him about, you know, I used to, I've sold carpeting.
And I've sold, well, they're not vacuum cleaners.
I've sold compact cleaning systems.
What do you have in a vacuum?
And I gave him the sales pitch.
And I remember most of the, most of the.
say the most of the sales page.
Like when people say,
I already have a vacuum cleaner.
Well,
vacuum cleaners don't work.
Look,
what do you have in a vacuum?
Nothing, right?
That's exactly what you're picking up with your cleaner.
But with the compact cleaning system.
And it's fascinating to sell it.
And it was a great product.
I loved the product.
It worked.
But,
and then I had an old guy that,
uh,
uh,
from Arizona that took me under his wing selling carpet for a company that had opened up.
And we, you know, did the rounds.
And he was, he was an old sales guy from way back.
So he, you know, stepped me through the wings of selling carpet.
And it's fascinating to do, but I just hate the clothes.
I had, I've got a cousin that's made a fortune doing,
multi-level marketing.
But it's just hit and move.
Stick and go.
Don't, no waiting.
Sell.
Close it and move on.
And I've always just hated that.
But I, you know,
was the worst now that I'm thinking about this stupid compact cleaning system.
When I was selling compact cleaning systems,
I lost a car.
A car of mine was destroyed.
I bought a car and I had an old black station wagon that I had bought from someone,
a friend of my mother's that used to be a flower wagon from a funeral home.
I love that black station wagon.
Ford had it was great.
But as you know, I was old and breaking down at the time.
So I got another car and I left it parked in the parking lot of the building that we were
go to for the compact cleaning systems.
And this was in Michigan, so it's winter.
or it snows, which I hate.
And so we had a big snow, and the snowplow pushes my car into the back of the parking lot under this giant mound of snow.
Right?
So my car is under this giant mound of snow.
There's no way I'm getting it out.
That's the only thing that could have happened to my car.
So I know it's there.
Right.
So I got to wait till spring to get my car out of this mound of snow.
snow. I know it's the other place a guy watched. You can see where the snowplow just pushed it
back into this pile. I got to wait until spring. So it's getting close to spring. And I think,
well, you know, maybe I can go over and dig it out, try to get a star to get it out of there.
I go over there. Someone has tunneled into this mound of snow to my car, got in the car,
and they've been partying in this thing,
I don't know how long, throughout the winter.
There's cigarette butts and empty cans and a blanket and a pillow.
I mean, they're partying in my car.
And the things are broken and crap is burned.
And so I'm like, I walked away.
I walk.
I was like, that's agonizing.
And I had a set of golf clubs in the back of it that are gone.
I forgot about that.
I forgot about losing my golf clubs.
I was, I was, I, a car and golf clubs gone.
Just because of the snow plowsing into this mound of snow.
All because of compact cleaning systems.
So then a couple months go by.
I don't even remember how long, but I just know that I was, you know,
at the house and I, I get.
Yes.
Are you, Jeff?
Yes.
Yes.
You own the Black Station wagon over there and such and such?
Yeah.
I'll give you a 50 bucks for it right now.
If you just sign this paper.
Okay.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
All.
All.
Because of those bastard compact cleaning systems.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show.

Jeff Fisher Show.
Sometimes it's difficult to remember what you talk about when you talk about it.
I'm just saying.
Welcome to it.
888-90-3033.
And you can use that excuse to your wife.
You know, honey, sometimes it's just difficult to remember what we've talked about and what we said about so many things.
So remind me again what you were talking about.
So I was looking up at Fox News.
Yeah.
Whatever.
They've got a story.
You know, they're doing their Saturday morning stories,
and they've got their Facebook using personal info to target audience,
the ads, the commercials.
And I'm thinking, duh, yeah, that's what they do.
I think Zuckerberg is going to give Kanye 53-mill.
Here's an idea.
Here's a test for you.
The next product that you look up on your search engine,
I don't care what it is.
Well, I don't care what it is.
A pair of shoes, a pair of boots, eyeglasses, eyeglasses, whatever it is.
Look it up.
And then go to your Facebook page and start scrolling through your Facebook page.
Guess what ads are going to show up on the side of your Facebook page?
What you were looking for.
And sometimes it's nice to go, oh, yeah.
That's what I was looking for.
That's a good idea.
I can check that site.
and you know what you do so it works and if you don't like it don't use the search engine
because you've already's bought into it once you clicked i agree using that first facebook
page it's all theirs okay i know i'm not really crazy about it either but it's part of the
deal i guess part of the deal
What'd you say, honey?
I know.

So, I'm reading this story.
And I see the headline,
which just fascinates me about trees.
And the headline is,
German Forest Ranger finds that trees have social networks too.
And I thought, yeah, they're called roots.
No, that's not what he's talking about.
He believes that the forests are talking to each other.
And you see how the thick branches point away from each other.
That's so they don't block their buddy's light.
No, seriously.
Sometimes pairs, they're interconnected at the roots.
One tree dies, the other one dies too.
See that tree up there?
Look, see how they're breaking away from each other?
Oh, yeah.
That's because, you know, he doesn't want to block his buddy's light.
All right, I, you know, okay.
Okay. I got it.
So he's in the German forest and he's Mr. Trees.
And he's got the big book now,
The Hidden Life of Trees,
what they feel, how they communicate,
discoveries from a secret world.
The German forest is back in the spotlight.
Trees are now organic robots
designed to produce oxygen and wood,
but there's so much more to them.
Please, please, trees have social lives too.
The Hidden Life of Trees.
So if you want to read Mr. Wallerman,
the Hidden Life of Trees, it's out there for you.
I would suggest perhaps maybe some alcohol or some other substances that may help you get through that.
Because I got it.
All right.
Forests trees, they're connected and one dies and more than that die after one dies because they're all connected.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I got it.
That's what happens.
Trees get sick.
Spread it to other trees.
So they die.
It's kind of like tree Zika.
Okay.
It's just fascinating to me.
I mean, it's just fascinating.
Nobody wants to go, you know, I understand.
But perhaps maybe, maybe my man has spent a little bit too much time in the old black forest.
That's all I'm saying.
Maybe you spend just a little bit too much time in the forest.
Okay.
So I see the headline, Caitlin Jenner, I get more flack for being conservative than transgender.
Why doesn't that surprise me?
She was speaking.
He was speaking.
Bruce came on.
It's Caitlin now.
It's not even Bruce.
In fact, the latest picture of Caitlin, I've always been a huge fan of Bruce Jenner.
And I mean, she looks great.
She looks comfortable and happy.
Good for Bruce or Caitlin.
It's not Bruce anymore, okay?
It's Caitlin.
That's just the way it is, okay?
I mean, she's taught.
It's hard of me to call him.
Her, she.
Him.
There, my.
A group of students at the University of Pennsylvania.
He's constantly criticized for his conservative views.
asked by a college student.
I wish there was, we've got to find audio with this.
There probably is none.
There might be a cell phone audio of it somewhere.
Asked by a college student.
Why isn't he, why aren't you a Democrat?
I've gotten more flak for being a conservative Republican that I have for being trans.
Oh, I mean, that's been since the Diane Sawyer interview, right?
I mean, I was fascinated with that interview.
Fascinated.
I've always been a little conservative.
I mean, Diane was,
perhaps Caitlin should have just stood up and said,
hey, here you go.
Here's what you need to know, college student.
Free?
Doesn't actually mean free.
You're not entitled to someone else's hard-earned money, ever.
You cannot tax a nation into prosperity.
Oh my gosh, Bernie Sanders, is that you?
The rich are not responsible for your financial situation.
You are.
Huh.
And, oh, this specifically is for Bernie Sanders.
Socialism and Hillary Socialism Light.
Socialism will destroy the innovation that,
made America great.
Free.
The word free.
The product, free
doesn't actually
mean free.
Someone
will have to pay for
it. Duh.
Okay.
Someone will have to pay for it.
All right. So
scientist
a machiavarde tells
colleagues, change could come within 30 years.
Few professions immune to effect of advanced artificial intelligence.
Okay?
Machines could put more than half of the world's population out of a job in the next 30 years.
Wow.
He says society needs to confront this question before.
it's upon us. I think it's already here.
Steven Hawking, Bill Gates, Elon Musk,
they all have warned that AI
could spell the end of the human race.
I don't think we're that far. I don't think it's going to end.
But
Musk, his quote was
it represents our biggest
existential threat.
Okay.
You know, they've
we talked a little bit about the UN meeting for
you know, campaign to stop killer robots.
Yeah, I don't think
going to stop that. They're already trying to get the robots to have some sort of moral compass by reading, whatever.
Good luck. Good luck. More than half in 30 years. I think you're going to, 30 years is a long time.
There's a lot that can happen in 30 years, which means it's going to be 30 years in today's,
world is, when somebody says 30 years, it's probably 15. Half that. I mean, it's moving at a
record pace. Record pace. If you, a professor at Rice University said that technology presents
a more subtle threat than the masterless drones that some activist fear, he suggested AI could
drive global unemployment to 50% wiping out middle class jobs, wiping them out. That is amazing.
We're already using robots in so many jobs, doing so many things.
And when you see people fighting at Wendy's,
and I watched a footage of some girl that got into a fight at Wendy's
were giving her the wrong order,
and the Wendy's girl was saying,
I give it to her she had some heart.
Stop it.
Perhaps we need the robot.
to just serve me my frosty and my double with cheese, please,
instead of some smart punk talking back to me
and then cause, I mean, it's just, I want the robot.
I don't want to have to deal with you.
And we all need human interaction somewhere, right?
I mean, somehow, some way we need that human interaction.
So if we're not, if we're out of a job,
If a robot, more than half the population out of a job, what do you do?
How do you survive?
Amazingly, I think, you know, we'll adapt and we'll find ways to survive and we'll find ways to, you know, what humans will do.
Do I think the robot, I think that hopefully we at least believe we're smart enough not to let the robots take over?
I know. I know. I know. I know. I just, I made myself laugh. You probably, you probably laugh at
too because that's, you know, that's not going to happen as well as I do. Sooner later, the robot says,
you suck. You're stupid. I'm going to take over. Got it? I, you know, I understand that's going to happen.
clearly. No doubt about it in anyone's mind.
But when they talk about the morality of robots
and they're using books to teach the robots about morality,
do, okay. I mean, that's fine.
That's fine. We definitely need to try.
But really, I mean, it's going to be the,
it's going to be you don't have a certain tone, light, sound,
emitting from you, I kill you, or I take you to some holding cell, right?
So how do you survive?
I mean, really, do you just pay people?
You just give like a national, a national check to everyone?
Say, everyone gets, there's no more income tax, right?
There's no more income tax.
There's no, well, maybe there has to be an income tax.
Let me see, figure it out.
It has to be some sort of, you know, maybe just a flat tax.
percentage tax, but everyone gets a check from the government, right?
Everyone gets from the leaders.
Everyone gets a check, whatever that amount is.
And then that's it.
There's not food stamps.
There's nothing else.
That's what you get.
So then, I mean, that just changes everything.
And my gosh, that's probably what you're going to get with Bernie Sanders.
Just remember, free is a lot.
free. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher

We're your own designer app.
Okay?
With the Blaze app.
It's our own designer app.
So I'm reminded when I lived in St. Petersburg for a while,
I lived in Florida,
a long time.
And at one point, I technically lived in St. Petersburg proper, St. Petersburg, Florida
proper.
And for the life, me, I can't remember the name of the street we were living on at the time.
But they had wild peacocks and peahens in this neighborhood.
And those damn things are loud, loud when they get pissed, when they get frightened,
when they wake up in the morning, they wake around.
And, you know, I mean, nobody's doing anything with them.
to let them wander in the neighborhood.
They're cute.
They don't order anything.
They're good for the neighborhood.
Yeah, they're cute until Sunday afternoon.
You're taking a nap and one decides,
you know what?
I'm going to be just outside your window as loud as I possibly can.
And then you want to get the 22 and shoot it.
But apparently, which I didn't do, by the way,
St. Petersburg.
But apparently,
St. Petersburg is not the only place they're having a problem with.
peacocks and peahens and gags of wild turkeys.
Are the gags or gangs?
A gaggle?
A ganger?
They've got gangs of wild turkeys in New Jersey.
New Jersey.
You didn't see anybody ask Chris Christie about that in the debates, did you?
What are you going to do about the wild turkey problem, Chris?
Well, apparently now, according to this call, mailmen are being accosted.
Oh, good police, Sergeant McLaughlin.
Hey, Sarge.
This is the Postmaster in Hillsdale.
Hey, it's gone.
Okay.
I'm not going to believe this, but I've got to carry this being attacked by wild turkeys,
won't let them deliver the mail.
Where?
On Espawn Drive, 28 Espaon Drive?
Espan Drive.
Yeah, I guess that's it.
ESPLA.
Yeah, and Espinod Lake drives.
Yeah.
28, okay, being attacked by Turkey.
This has been going on.
It's crazy.
I mean, they're actually attacking, biting.
They chase the trucks every day.
Wow.
Take a look at it.
All right, no problem.
Send them over there.
Thank you.
Bye.
Take a look at it.
Okay?
Yeah, send them over there.
Now, then there's other stories of this happening in New Jersey.
And they show the turkey starting to attack the person taking the picture.
And this is what it sounds like.
They both do what he says.
No?
And you see these turkeys.
They are coming up on you.
They are coming up on you.
And part of this video.
You know, they show a lady with her kid riding a bike and these turkeys are coming up and trying to say,
what's going on?
What's going on?
They're scary because they're big birds.
Now, you probably, you give one a good swift kick.
The rest of them are going to go away.
I would guess.
Because that's what I would do.
You can walk around all you want there, gaggle of turkeys, gang, oh turkey.
But you're coming up on me, you're going to size 13 upside your little turkey head.
Okay.
Now that may cause the others to attack
Or it may cause
You know
It may cause my kid to get all pecked out
The next time he goes out on the street without me
Packed by turkeys
It's the latest movie
So
Next time you're in New Jersey
Run

The Jeff Fisher Show, a blaze radio network.
Fisher.
Why don't we have one for the show?
I want one.
The new thing maker.
Mattel is unleashing the new 3D thing maker.
Available fall of this year.
At Mattel, the Jeff Fisher Show will be a proud sponsor.
of the thingmaker.
Just send your 3D thingmaker to me, Jeff Fisher,
in care of Mercury Studios, Dallas.
Then we'll talk the heck out of it.
That looks really cool.
I want one.
I want a new 3D thing maker.
I'll tell you, though, the things,
if you look at the things, they look, you know,
they're cool.
They look like today things.
But I remember back in,
the 1800s early.
It had to be early, 1800s.
Nobody had invented hardly anything yet,
but Mattel had developed the thing maker, the thing maker, right?
It was the 60s.
When was that thing developed?
The thing maker.
There was an ad, too, for the stupid thing.
Let's hear the ad.
Yes, let's hear the ad for the original thing maker.
Creepy crawlers, creepy crawlers.
Yes.
Creepy crawlers.
Now, you can make all kinds of lovely things like these with Mattel's wonderful thingmaker.
Face Maker.
Creepy crawlers.
Spiders, spiders, snakes, dragon flies, make them yourself with this nice plastic goop.
Choose a mold.
Pour in the goop.
Heat it.
And presto change, oh, you've got bugs.
Squiggly, squirty bugs.
They feel so soft and natural.
You get four different colors of goop and special pins.
Special beads.
Spine little pins or spider rings.
You can collect them or spread them around.
After all, they are fun for the entire family.
Get Mattel's new thing maker with creepy crawlers.
You can tell it's Mattel.
It's swell.
It's swell.
The thing maker.
You know why you're never getting that back ever again?
Goop and a heating plate.
Never.
In today's world, not a chance.
Amazingly, back in the 1800s,
when children played with The Thingmaker.
The Thing Maker.
You can tell.
It's so well.
Maybe you burned your finger once on the heater and went,
I don't need to do that again.
Goop.
refillable goop. Sadly, I remember
the stupid toy, the Thingmaker.
I'd love to have one of those bad boys, too,
see the difference between the Thingmaker.
The Thingmaker and the new Thingmaker, the 3D printer.
What kind of goop do you think they use in the 3D printer?
Oh, wait, they don't.
Users upload design files via Mattel's
proprietary design app,
which works on Android or iOS devices,
and can print parts to be assembled into toys.
There is no goop and no heatie play.
Okay, the goop thing ain't happening.
But I love the idea of the 3D printer.
That would be fun to have.
And people, oh, wait a minute.
Well, uh-oh.
It does heat things, though.
Heated printhead safety feature.
When printing is completed,
the heated printhead retracts into a recess that little hands can't reach.
Oh, good.
Because we wouldn't want little kids to go in and burn themselves
and learn that they can't do something.
Hey, kid, don't reach into there until it says to.
Otherwise, you'll burn yourself.
Daddy, I burned my finger because I reached in there.
Going to do it again?
No, that was kind of dumb on me.
Okay.
Good.
Hey, it's easy to use and it's ecosystem.
The Thing Maker 3D printer is quick and easy to set up.
Just plug it in and wirelessly.
Link it to the Thingmaker Design app.
Simply push a button to export your...
files and you'll be printing in no time.
There is no goop.
There is no goop.
The goop is over. You're getting no
goop from the thing maker.
You get no 1800 goop.
Plus, when's the last time
you saw the
just the goop refills?
You're not getting the goop.
Goop is over, okay?
I want you get play figures and prints out.
I mean, the 3D printer is
a cool thing.
And look how far we've come with the 3D printers.
Really? I mean, we've talked about
I know we've talked. I thought for sure
that we had talked about it. Maybe I hadn't talked about it
on this show. Maybe I talked a little bit about it on Pat and Stu.
But I remember
talking about 3D printing
of
knees. Right? Because
I remember
I have a knee replacement.
It's been
100 years ago now.
And,
I mean, I had my first knee surgery
when I was, you know,
for a teenager. I mean,
knees are a problem.
Okay.
And,
Jeff, maybe if you weren't
852 pounds,
your knees would be better. That's possible.
It is possible.
Jeff, when you were a teenager, if you weren't
wearing hefty clothes
and fat and weren't way overweight,
perhaps your knees could have taken it.
Yes, it is possible. I'll give you that. It is possible.
But now, you know, we talk, they're 3D printing your knee replacement because my knee replacement is just a, you know, some sort of titanium thing that they cut your bones and bones cement it back onto your bones and you've got a knee.
Right. Well, now they're 3D printing it so that you're getting almost the same thing.
Only better. This time we can rebuild him.
but wait, there's more.
Now you're getting jawbones, muscles, ears.
I mean, we're very close.
And I read a story not long ago about the body twin, right?
And it's just going to be, it's going to be a clone,
although it will be kind of clonish,
but they won't be able to call it a clone.
Because if they call it a clone, it makes it more human.
It's just got to be.
you know, you're, that's my part machine.
What's that in the closet?
It looks like a body.
No, that's my part machine.
If I need a liver, I go there and I bring it with me to the doctor's office,
and he puts the liver from that into me.
So you're about ready, we're close to that.
We're close to everyone having a body twin.
So, oh my gosh, I cut a finger off.
Wait, I'll take one from my twin.
Oh, my gosh, what did I do to my.
ear. I'll take one from my twin. I mean, it's fascinating where we're at. Now, I don't think you're
going to be able to 3D print your ear that will work with the Mattel Thingmaker 3D printer.
I don't think that's going to happen. But the 3D printer is cool. And I want one. I want one. And they unveiled it at the
at the toy show.
You know, the toy show, what the heck?
Where is the toy guy?
A toy guy.
You and I had a good relationship over the years.
I'm sure you were at the New York Toy Fair.
They're a toy guy.
I want a 3D printer.
I want Mattel.
I want to be a sponsor for the 3D printer thinkmaker.
Bad, bad, bad.
I want to be a 3D printer sponsor.
There's not a chance in hell.
it ever happening. Don't kid yourself. But I could still beg, right, just to get a 3D printer.
I can't. I can't beg. What about if I just say, hey, Mattel, I'll be a sponsor for your company
and you give me like the drone Barbie and the 3D printer and we'll talk about it. I promise.
And we'll show, we'll take videos of me using it and using it all over.
Like the drone Barbie, the drone Barbie's kind of cool, actually.
It'd be fun to be flying around with drone Barbie.
So, Mattel, what do you think?
Drone Barbie, thing maker, 3D printer, without the goop.
So that we can just, just plug in, I could design it on my app.
I'm sorry, I can plug it in and wirelessly link it to the thingmaker design app.
Simply push a button to export your files and you'll be printing in no time.
Wow, that's a big difference from the original thing maker commercial.
You can tell it's Mattel.
It's swell.
All right, I have to hear it again.
Please play it again.
Please.
Thing maker.
It's swell.
That was the end.
Can we start it from the beginning, please?
Creepy crawlers, creepy crawlers, creepy crawlers.
Now, you can make all kinds of things like these with Mattel's wonderful thing maker.
It makes creepy crawlers, spiders, lizards, snakes, dragonflies, make them yourself with this nice plastic goop.
Tell, it's Mattel.
Porous goop, eat it, and presto change-o, you've got buds.
Squiggly, squirty
bugs.
It's so soft and natural.
You get four different colors of goop and special paints.
Make charming lizard pins or spider rings.
You can collect them or spread them around.
After all, they are fun for the entire family.
Get Mattel's new thing maker with creepy crawlers.
You can tell it's Mattel.
It's swell.
Or you can get the new thingmaker.
The 3D printer is quick and easy to set up.
Just plug it in, wirelessly, link it to the Thingmaker design app.
Simply push a button to export your files and you'll be printing in no time.
The Thingmaker 3D printer.
You can tell it's Mattel.
It's swell.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
This is the Jeff Fisher Show.
Welcome to it.
888-903333.
number. South Carolina, vote. Vote today. Get out. Polls are open. Baby, get out there,
do the thing. Rest and peace, Antonin Scalia. His funeral is today. We touched on that a little earlier.
His funeral is at 11 o'clock today. It was scheduled to start at 11. Our president will not
attend. Shameful. Michael Pelka coming up immediately following this broadcast.
And then starting at noon, Chris Salcedo, then Mike Slater, then Joe Paggs, all live on the Blaze Radio Network.
No, you don't need to be anywhere else.
You know that.
You don't need to be.
We've talked a lot about new apps for your phone.
And in fact, off air today, we've talked a lot about what information the apps are getting from you.
And by clicking agree and yes to so much when we put the apps on our phone, we're just giving away.
are information. They are just taking it. Every app just takes it. They want it all. They want
access to everything. And we just click, I agree. I agree. Who cares? At some point, it has to stop, right?
At some point, I mean, at some point, come on now. Come on. Now, why does a flashlight app need to have
all this information? Because that's the only way they make their money, right? By selling
your information. They're giving you a free flashlight app. You think they're making money from
that? How are they making money from giving you a free flashlight app? Oh, I know selling all the
information you're agreeing to let them have when you click, I agree on their app. Okay. So at some
point, I don't know when it's going to stop, but it has to, right? But there are apps that are,
you know, in dating sites that are trying to help people get together. Trying to help. Trying to
help people come together.
It's important.
Be happy together, right?
Like the new dating site
that uses body odor to match
each other. Huh?
Come on now.
That goes to an old
theory I have
about scent
from women.
Actually, I just thought about this.
Reading this stupid story about this body odor.
This is a great thing because I'm telling you
it's an old, this is an old,
This is an old theory I have.
We're going to run out of time for this show.
I'm going to have to go into this next week because I have a theory about body odor and sense and women and men.
And this is actually proving my point.
I, we're, write this down.
We're going to be talking about it next week.
Body odor.
Body odor dating site and my theory on sense because it goes together.
And this proves me right.
guaranteed this proves me right.
I will find out more about this body odor site for next week because,
I mean, I'm not a scientist.
I just play one on the radio.
But I'm telling you, I'm right with this theory.
Guaranteed, I'm right.
Now, I did have something.
Somebody sent me what the future looks like.
And his outcome of the future says,
yep, I've seen the future and it's bleak.
Don't make it bleak.
Don't make it bleak.
Go out there and vote for Ted Cruz in South Carolina
and then look for someone today to say,
hey, you look great.
I mean that.
You look fantastic.
Look for someone to tell you that.
Oh my gosh, it was just me.
You do.
You look great today.
Okay?
You happy with that?
I mean, you're not going to wear what you're wearing all day.
Because it's a little frightening,
but you look great in it.
I guess.
This is the Jeff Fisher show.
