You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. Don't miss Pat and Stu. Lincoln Chasey, too. Everybody forgot except for his bold initiative on the metric system. Yes. That was where people were like, oh my gosh. We're talking that. We're talking meters.

We're talking centimeters. Yeah. Kilometers. We're talking kilometers. All of them. And he may be a little Celsius. He also looks like a turtle. Pat and Stu.

Weekdays at 5 p.m. on the Blaze Radio Network. You know, crime is a big thing in America. We all worry about it. We all wonder, you know, if we're going to be around it, see it, face it. I make jokes about some things that are crimes, and I know their crimes, but they never happen to me. For example, one house, police in New Jersey. They're asking a person, now the police are saying, hey, if you were expecting 50 pounds of marijuana in the mail,

come and get your package. And they mean that they were joking about the story because there were 50 pounds of pot delivered to a home in Hazlitt, New Jersey. The homeowner called police because it would address to someone who did not live at the residence. So 50 pounds of marijuana was delivered to your house. What do you do? Do you call the police? Do you keep it? Do you just leave it on the front porch?

and look the other way and hope that the person who it was mailed to just comes and picks it up. Then you become complicit in the crime, right? So I really don't know what I'd do. If it was mailed to your house, that's a little something. I joke around about finding money all the time or finding, you know, I lived in Florida forever and people find stuff washed up on the beach. Not me. I never do.

And I never did. But if I found something washed up on the beach, that's mine. If I find something in the middle of the road, a suitcase full of cash, suitcase full of whatever, that's mine. Okay? And trust me, I know how to... If you find... People get in trouble all the time when they find cash.

Look, you and I've been down this road before. I can tell you how to do it. But I've already told you how to do it. How to save yourself from being found out. You found a bunch of cash. and how to use it. Going off the track again a little bit because I want to help you a little bit here. If you find, happen to find, let's say you're driving along the road and you go,

ooh, there's a suitcase. I should probably clear the road of that suitcase and just to make sure it's okay. So you stop, you pick up the suitcase, you throw into your trunk, you drive home. Pull the driveway. You go in the house, you go, oh, that's right, I picked up that suitcase. So you go back out to the car and you open the trunk and there it is. and you open it up and it's full of cash, what do you do?

First, you close the suitcase. Pull it out of your trunk like you know what you're doing and close the trunk and walk in the house. Now it's your money. Period. Okay? Period. You don't have to put it all in the bank and you don't have to do it.

It's yours. You use it for cash. You pay things with cash. Cash money. Still go about your everyday life. And nobody else is the wiser. Okay? Just you're welcome.

You're welcome. I just want to help you out. I want to help you out. No problem. But there are plenty of people who commit crimes against law-abiding citizens that should be stopped. That's why we have jails, right? That's why we have jails. That's why we have police officers.

That's why we have people out trying to protect us. Right? So in St. Landry's Parish, I ran across this video, and I'm thinking, is this guy for real? And then at the end, I see, you know, it's a crime stoppers video. Call this number. He's out there. He's a police officer.

Apparently, this man, Higgins, Officer Higgins, he is for real. I'm guessing it almost seems like it's not real when you watch and listen to the video. and I know there were some reports. I had one of my producers, Brandy look into it, and she said that there's reports that think that it's just a stunt by Coca-Cola. And I think that's because during the one video that I'm going to play for you here, so you hear the audio anyway,

while he's talking about going and getting a cheeseburger and fries and a Coke, a Coca-Cola van pulls up into the parking lot behind him. him. And I thought, well, that's perfect product placement. Almost a little too perfect. But apparently he's not. And they're talking about, you know, this guy isn't for real if it's just a show. But everything you read about it seems to be real. Seems to be real. Okay. Officer Clay Higgins. And he talks about his life in a story here, said he stopped. He was going to be, he wanted to be a police officer. He was a military, Police Corps. He was

missing being a police officer and having a job with true purpose, so he became, went back, became a police officer. And now he's becoming the St. Landry Parish Crime Stopper's spokesperson, and he's making people realize that he seems

to be the John Wayne, the man's man of police officers in America. But he is from Louisiana. On Wednesday night, July 8th, Steli's Mark and restaurant on Highway 71 was broken into and burglarized. The thief smashed the front glass with a large rock,

kicked in the office door and made off with hundreds of dollars in cash. Watch as a man commits his crime. They have the video. Look at him close. The hooded jacket he's wearing is camouflage. He appears to be light-skinned or white, and he looks to be around six foot tall and thin. Watch how he walks with sort of a lanky gait.

Stellie's has been a local favorite for decades. The family works hard and is known to be generous. Always with a kind word for friend or stranger, the Stelly family represents Southern hospitality at its best. If you're the man that committed this felony, look at me, son. I'm talking to you. The sheriff likes Stelly's restaurant, and so do I. The food here is good, and the folks are friendly.

We're going to identify you, arrest you, and put you. you in a small cell. After that, I'm going to have a cheeseburger here with fries and a Coke and leave a nice tip for the waitress. Meanwhile, your next meal will be served through a small hole in a cell door.

Think about it. Because our detectors harvested DNA from the rock you used, and you left a perfect boot print on the door you kicked in. Yeah. But we won't have to wait on lab results, because you're on St. Landry crime stoppers tonight. Congratulations.

son, I'm about to make you famous. By tomorrow, 100,000 people will have watched you commit a felony. You will be recognized. And the people that know you don't really like you anyway, so when it comes down to a choice between you and $1,000, they'll take the cash. And take the cash. On behalf of crime stoppers, I'm Lieutenant Higgins.

Nice. Now, I'm telling you, you know, I'm a little scared myself right now. However, it appears that this particular criminal left St. Landry's area because they did have not caught him, I believe. Could not find a post where we caught the criminal that broke into Stellies. Very sad. Very sad, sad, sad, sad news. Now, I told you earlier in the broadcast about the FBI director saying ties spike in urban crime to cops fear of doing their jobs.

Uh-huh. Let me tell you the new FBI crime statistics based on property and violent crimes for 2013. Okay? The top 10 most violent cities in America.

There really hasn't been much change in the last few years. Number 10 and there's something that these cities all have in common. That is an amazing thing. Birmingham, Alabama, which is number 10, which is pretty amazing. Birmingham was a really nice town when we were there not long ago. Bridgeport, Connecticut, Newark, New Jersey, Gary, Indiana, Cleveland, Ohio, St. Louis, Missouri.

Oakland, California, Detroit, Michigan, Flint, Michigan, Camden, New Jersey coming in at number one, all the way to number one, Camden, New Jersey. Now, each one of those cities, all ten, the most violent cities in America, the top ten, based on FBI crime statistics for 2013. They all have one thing in common. What is that you say? Did I... What was that? Yes, that's right. They've been run by Democrats for years.

And I, you know, I want to give the Democrats a break, but why? This is the Jeff Fisher Show. On the Blaze Radio Network, J. Severin. She told the American people, it's a video by a guy in California, whom they arrested, and I believe he remains in jail for using his First Amendment rights. In any case, that's tragic. What's factual is it wasn't the video and she knows it, and they proved it. Hillary Clinton totally lied.

The talking points, lies. Democrats, lies. Jay Severin, weekdays 3 to 5 p.m. Eastern on the Blaze Radio Network.
