Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. America WK with your host, Andrew WK. Always questioning yourself the most. Then question others. But if people make you question yourself, then we can be thankful for them. Even if they do it in ways that are unpleasant. It's been said before, and I'll say it again, it is the speech that we most disagree with,
Starting point is 00:00:23 that we have to fight most passionately to protect. America WK, Saturday, It's 10 a.m. to noon on the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome to it. You know, last week, last week we told you about the art project with the white-only signs to the bathrooms at the University of Buffalo and the outrage of racism until the black student stood up and said, Ashley Powell stood up and said, yeah, it was an art project.
Starting point is 00:01:00 So I did it and all you people all wound up about racism No, no, it's not the way it is well this week we had the University of Delaware They reported seeing nooses hung from the tree All over they staged a protest they were all upset Neuces hanging around a tree at the University of Delaware Now Nancy Target Nancy Target
Starting point is 00:01:30 Acting president of the University of Delaware immediately started tweeting UD police is investigating the hate crime we need to stand together against intolerance call 831-222 if you saw anything hashtag voices of UDell already
Starting point is 00:01:52 promoting the fact that it's a hate crime We need to stand together. Okay. Well, later out of the day, it was tweeted by Ryan Cormier. Hey, University of Delaware, the nooses found on campus last night were actually remnants of paper lanterns.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Oh, so then the head of Nancy Target hops back on Twitter, update at UDell Police Determined Incident was not a hate crime Please stand with me on the green At 4.30 p.m. Voices of University of Delaware. Oh, so stand with me on the green
Starting point is 00:02:40 Because we're going to still get together and party But listen, we're still, we were investigating a hate crime Instead of saying we don't know what it is yet UDE police investigating They were investigating a hate crime they were investigating to see what the problem was if there was a crime. So, does that matter, though? Does it matter?
Starting point is 00:03:13 No. Students at the University of Delaware, taking it hard after discovery of an alleged hate crime, was just a misunderstanding. Some students didn't even insist the hate crime still occurred. Wait. what yes it doesn't matter it doesn't matter
Starting point is 00:03:37 we're here today because we're not returning hate with hate black lives matter protest oh is that is that true this is not the end it's not clear what hate gill was avoiding the return of
Starting point is 00:03:52 since there's no hate crime happened but hey we're we're still going to be mad because the police are lying and they're covering up a crime. Yeah, we were out there where those lanterns were hanging, though, and we remember that they had to be hanging with something.
Starting point is 00:04:12 I don't know. That's how they hung up from the trees and the poles and the wires. But it's still a hate crime. In fact, we now believe that the lanterns were, hey, no, they didn't say that, but I'm saying that. We now believe, hey, you know what? The lanterns, they were hate too. That's what they were hung for.
Starting point is 00:04:36 It's unbelievable. Now, obviously, you have to say the disclaimer. Was there hate crime in America? Yes, there is. There's nothing good about hate crime. Racism is bad. All lives matter. Got it.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Although all lives matter is now means that black lives don't. And how did you get there? people have asked me all that time I'll tell you how you got there you got there by when black lives matter started screaming hey black lives matter and other people went wait a minute no black lives do matter
Starting point is 00:05:13 but really all lives matter they took that as saying oh you're blocking out black lives you just want us to think that you believe all lives matter but really you don't care about black lives and that's why you're saying all lives matter oh oh oh oh oh okay
Starting point is 00:05:30 Okay. Okay, no problem then. You're absolutely right. Black lives do matter. And guess what? All lives don't. That's where we're at. That's pretty much where we're at. But, you know, look, we're investigating the hate crime that wasn't a hate crime that we're still pissed off about because we know it was a fake hate crime, but we're still pissed because guess what? We think it's still a hate crime. Unbelievable. And for those of you that have read the latest Glenn Beck book, It Is About Islam, we'll be happy to hear that Pamela Geller announced that the Ground Zero Mosque has been defeated. In her article, President Obama pushed for it, then Mayor Michael Bloomberg supported it, the media actively campaigned for it, but the people fought it and won. So the mosque that they were fighting for to build at Ground Zero, that's not going to happen. Have a good day.
Starting point is 00:06:42 We don't want it here. Okay? We don't want it here. Earlier this week, the Yogi Berra died. You say who's Yogi Berra?

Starting point is 00:08:28 And he was best known for some of his sayings. And he's got sayings. There's lists of them all over. Because people love to quote yogi with his, his sayings. And I loved, first of all, how he got the name Yogi. His real name, Lawrence Peter Barra. But everyone called him Yogi.
Starting point is 00:08:57 When he was a little kid, he and his friends went to a movie. And in the movie, one of the shorts was about India. And they were showing one of the yogis in India sitting cross-legged, doing what yogis do. And his buddy looked at him and said, hey, it looks like you and you're sitting in a wait to come up to the plate. And from that point on, his friends called him yogi.

He's amphibious. It was impossible to get a conversation going. Everybody was talking too much. I don't know if they were men or women fans running naked across the field.

Starting point is 00:11:22 Baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets. And a classic that you could replace baseball with radio. If I didn't make it in baseball, I wouldn't have made it working.
