Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. America WK with your host, Andrew WK. It's hard enough just to run your own life than to run everyone's life. And I don't think we should look to these leaders or a stereotypical leader to lead our lives. Ideally, they should protect the conditions which allow us to live freely. America WK. 10 a.m. to noon on the Blaze Radio Network. You may have caught the debate this last week on CNBC, and everybody was, you know,
Starting point is 00:00:40 all wound up about CNBC's bias coverage. Give me a break. You knew what to expect there. But, right, Speribis, the head of the RNC, has sent a letter to NBC News, suspending the partnership for the February debate in Houston. with NBC News. What? So they're just suspending it. They're not going to do it or they're going to make NBC, you know, bow down and promise to give them all kinds of good stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:11 And we'll promise I've got questions. Right. Here's an idea for you. It was already set up to be in Texas in Houston. Not far from Houston is a place called Dallas and the Blaze Mercury Studios. we'll put it on for you. Okay? And we may even make sure that somebody has their microphones turned up
Starting point is 00:01:37 when they go to talk. But whether we want it or not, clothing always reflects the psychology of whoever is wearing it. And if you look at the picture that the Blaze has in the story of the RNC suspending the partnership with NBC, they've got all the tier one candidates rode up in their. suits and ties. And that's right, no, Carly doesn't have a tie on.
Starting point is 00:02:06 She's the only one that doesn't have a tie on, but she does have her female suit on. And as you know, I like to consider myself fashion. I mean, I am fashion. Look, I know that some fashion guru said it years ago, but I like to consider myself fashion. It's just me. You know, it's just me. but I was looking through the latest issue of GQ, the November edition of GQ, and Central Wilson, author of Fear and Clothing, Unbuckling American Style,
Starting point is 00:02:44 has a really fascinating article on the candidates, and some of it's pretty funny. This election's early favorites are all default to boxy charcoal gray suits, starchy white shirt, shiny silk neckties, shiny silk neckties, nearly always red regardless of party affiliation. It's a classic high contrast leadership color. I like to call fascist contemporary. For their daytime casual look, the candidates remove their jackets and unconvincingly roll up their sleeves for changing my own tires for the good of America appearance. It's always been difficult to tell the many Republicans apart, both ideologically and sotorically, and indeed Mike Huckabee, John Kasich, and Lindsay Graham dressed so identically and so without
Starting point is 00:03:35 a trace of personality. They could all be represented by the same Lego character. Krusty progressive Bernie Sanders stands out as the most consistently dishevelled candidate. She does go after the Democrats do, which I like. disheveled candidate, a man whose style muse seems to be Jack Klugman and who can be easily imaged waddling unshaven under the White House lawn to retrieve his newspaper wearing a flannel bathrobe, tube socks, and blue blockers. Jeb Bush, this is an article in November edition of GQ by Central Wilson. Jeff Bush, the fussyest politician since Mitt Romney, has the visual distinction. of Reagan harder than others, his dial a prayer hair and higher thread count suits that exude a FU wealth
Starting point is 00:04:33 that the other rich candidates take care to avoid in the interest of wooing voters beyond just the two Koch brothers. Ted Cruz, a Hispanic Canadian Texan favors dark suits that combined with his helmet hair and concerned mortician demeanor, Suggest he will bury America with somber dignity. It is difficult not to notice that with a pencil mustache, he would look exactly like the dashingly ghoulish Gomez Adams. The ladies of the race, Carly Fiorina, and Hillary Clinton have their own closet problems.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Both are given a loud monochromatic suits in interchangeable electric blue and vermilion, projecting just the right blend of femininity in Elph Augusto with a shrill top note to say. end in the drones. Nobody really knows why Donald Trump feels qualified or even wants to be president, but he has always dressed out grandiose delusions of ruling the world. Analysis have suggested that his radical
Starting point is 00:05:34 hairstyle, the virile strawberry angora haystack, is a business power move intended to invoke confusion and fear, which of course it does, like a wig made of live snakes. Lately, however, he's been covering his cough with a Make America Great Again baseball cap, either to convince voters that he has the common touch or to protect them from being turned to stone.
Starting point is 00:06:01 If we're going to elect one of these jokers to represent the world's most powerful office, is it too much to ask that he or she have at least some style? As fashion is our most personal, most intimate art form. One we all practice every single day, regardless. of what we wear. We oughtn't let our next president shuffle around the globe looking like some feral rub with his or her own reinforced changing bunker beneath the Nordstrom
Starting point is 00:06:30 at the Pentagon Mall. Aren't we the people embarrassed enough as it is? Fashion. Fashion for our political might in America. Hey, it's time change weekend. Oh, my goodness gracious. Time change weekend. I don't know about you.
Starting point is 00:06:53 I don't know which time now I get confused what I like better. Daylight savings or we come back to regular time. I don't know what I like better anymore. I think I like daylight. I think I like this time better than non-daylight savings, right? So it gets darker, earlier, lighter. I don't remember anymore. So confused.
Starting point is 00:07:15 There is the argument that Daylight savings time saves us crime, right? Because criminals don't like to criminals don't like this. Get up early. They like to be out at night. So with daylight savings, you know, there's less time for the criminals
Starting point is 00:07:40 to do their crime. So it's, you know, it's better, right? Right. And remember that you have to change your clock right at 2 a.m. Sunday morning. You can't do it before. Can't do it after. Otherwise, you'll, you know, you'd be in trouble with the time, police. But there's so many clocks now that don't do it on their own, which is, I like. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:06 I like it. I don't have to worry about it. You don't forget to do change the clock on the microwave up above the stove. You've got to do that manually. You'll change the clock on the coffee maker. Don't forget that. You got to do that manually. The rest of them, I think you're good, right?
Starting point is 00:08:21 Might have to change the clock. You got the one clock in the closet that you look at in the morning when you're getting dressed. Yeah, that runs on a battery. You need to do that manually. And you probably got the little clock in the bathroom that you look at from time to time when you're, you know, getting ready in the morning. You probably got to change that if it's hanging on the bathroom while in the battery. That's about it, probably. There might be a clock on the radio if you use your little shower radio to listen in the morning when you're taking a shower.
Starting point is 00:08:46 shower. You might need that. I might need to change that. Geez, there's more than you think of. Oh, and you got the, you got your grandma's favorite clock that you still have up on the mantle in the back bedroom. Don't forget to change that. Otherwise, you're going to go in there.
Starting point is 00:09:01 You're going to go in there in a couple weeks and go, oh, my gosh. It's off. And then, oh, that's right, time changing. Then you're going to have to change. Just do it. Do it tomorrow. Be done with it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:12 But all the rest, you're good with. Your phones, your computers. Write your cable boxes, although I don't have a... It's been a long, I mean, it's been a strange transformation week, by the way, of the cable. We may get into that, maybe today or some other time, but it's been a strange transformation being without 850,000 channels of television to watch. There's plenty of alternatives, by the way. It has not been a withdrawal at all.
Starting point is 00:09:46 It's just a matter of refocusing what and when you want to watch things. That's all. So you can do it. Doggone it. You can do it. I know you can. But you know what's strange is that I was reading an article.
Starting point is 00:10:05 I don't know if we were talking about this. I think maybe Glenn was talking about this. But I was so fascinated. You know, we're all happy to get your hour back, right? You get your hour back tonight. the daylight, yeah, tonight. You get it back and, you know, everybody's happy about, oh, you change your, you get, you get that hour you lost.
Starting point is 00:10:26 You get that hour you lost. Eh, do you? Do you? I don't think so. But anyway, it's, you know, it's kind of nice. Have one day with that extra hour and then the rest of the week will have you all screwed up and, you know, you'll lose it and you'll gain it back again, right? But there is a thing, this segmented sleep that seems to be what humans are supposed to
Starting point is 00:10:48 do. But we used to do it before electricity. So how do you get back to the segment of sleep with electricity? You probably have to, I don't know, be wealthy enough to not have a job. And then you could do it, right? Because I don't want to live without electricity. But the idea of getting up, you get up, when you get up, daylight, and you do your stuff for, you do your stuff for, a while, you know, for a few hours, and then you rest for a couple hours, and then you get up and you do your stuff again until dark, and then you may eat something, and then lay down for a few hours, and then you get up, and it's quiet, and you read, you pray, you talk to your family, and then you go back to sleep for a while, and you get back up in the daylight again,
Starting point is 00:11:50 and you're all again, right? And they've done studies that that's really what people end up doing when they don't have a regimented schedule like most of us have. Right, most of us have that regimented schedule. I, look, I despise the alarm clock. Despise it. I do everything in my power not to use my alarm clock. If I wake up and I try, it's very hard since a lot of mornings we have to get up really early and I go to bed late so I don't get enough sleep.
Starting point is 00:12:28 So I have to use an alarm, which I hate. But if you're on a regular schedule, which I was for a number of years, I set my mind clock so that I wake up and it's before my alarm goes off. Or for a while I stopped even setting my alarm because I was just get up. I can't take it. I just hate it so much. And I love when I wake up now, and it's like even just like two minutes before the alarm to go off. Oh, good. I don't have to hear it.
Starting point is 00:12:55 I despise it. So the studies are that you go back to that segmented sleep plan for life. But you really, you know, that's doing life without regimentation and electricity and maybe a job. Ooh. Okay. I'll use my alarm clock. Here we go.
