This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome to it. Another beautiful day in the United States of America. Maybe. Maybe, maybe. All right. So, last weekend, I appreciate Brad Staggs filling in. We were in California. I took a trip with the guy that runs the joint, went back out to San Francisco to be a part of a Super Bowl breakfast, athletes in action.

Great event. We were in San Francisco. That was the first time that I've ever been in San Francisco. So the time spent there was fascinating. And, you know, we went to all the marks, you know, the Golden Gate Bridge, which I must say, the Golden Gate Bridge, iconic as it is. D. I hate to, you know, ruin the mystique around the.

Golden Gate Bridge, but really, there's a lot better bridges in America. I mean, I got it. It's the Golden Gate. And it's, you know, it's one of the iconic bridges of all time in America.

Yet still really not that there's a lot better bridges in America, is all I'm saying. And, you know, you see Alcatraz, and then you go down to the you know, down to the pier. and you see walk the streets and man oh man oh man if san francisco is an example of how you want to live in your cities in america good luck god bless

they claimed that they cleaned it up for the super bowl weekend they usually do i mean super bowl is two weeks now it's a big event they start coming in the first week for smaller events and the second week is just a big event-filled week building up to the game. And I've lived in other cities that are preparing for the Super Bowl and have had it and they bring out the hoses and hose everything down. They claim they hosed it down. Wow. If that's hosing it down, San Fran, you've got some serious deep cleaning to do.

There's still all kinds of homeless people. People living on the streets. You know, God bless them. if that's what they want, that's great. But, you know, the San Francisco, why wouldn't you go there? My understanding is that, you know, they places for you to eat. You can sleep inside if you can. Money from the state and the city.

And you just, you know, find a nice place on a corner and that's your spot. That was really remarkable. We stayed at a place that was, you know, a San Francisco mansion. And, you know, it was in the city. You know, when you see it on the street, you know,

there's these row houses of mansions. And, you know, it's got the four stories. Garage on the bottom, you know, six car garage. Walk up the big flight of stairs, the big walkway into the house. And then, you know, the bed of the second and third floor and you're way up top.

And it's just, and by the way, I'm not one to complain, but the elevator was broken at the time of our stay. And how did that bring down the happiness of the stay at this place we stayed at? Having to walk flights of stairs, I'm not a big fan of. Okay? Just saying. It was beautiful, but yet there was just something like you felt like, Why would you live there?

I mean, if you could afford this place, it just seems like there are better places to live. I guess if you love the city and you're, you know, hell-bent on being San Francisco, okay. And the neighborhood isn't that great. I mean, it probably used to be, sure. But, you know, we walked, I walked quite a bit. in the

local neck of the woods of where we lived drove and walked and you know, I mean, I've felt kind of safe but that's me I don't let things really get to me. Do I want my wife and children

running around there? No. No, I don't. So anyway, San Francisco, the more you stay in California, the more you love it. I mean, I love California. I hadn't been to San Francisco before, but I've spent time in southern California, Los Angeles, and, you know, the metroplex of L.A., surrounding areas of L.A., and up in the mountains, Big Bear Lake.

And, I mean, I just, I love California. Love it. I actually, if I made your money, I could live there, but I don't make your money. So I'm living in Texas. Anyway, that's where I was, and I appreciate you listening to Brad here on the Blaze Radio Network. A couple of days ago on, you know, the radio show, the Glenn Beck program, I endorsed a presidential nominee. I told you about a man I thought was worthy of holding the office of the president of the United States of America.

family man, former military, former governor, former attorney general, someone I thought could worthy of being our potus. That man was Jim Gilmore, Gilmore for America.com. Yesterday, and I was all ready to campaign for Jim all weekend. in South Carolina from Texas. But yesterday we got sad news. Sad news. Former Virginia governor, Jim Gilmore,

the only veteran in the race for the presidency, said yesterday he is suspending his campaign for the White House. Gilmore said he will support the Republican nominee and that he intends to continue speaking out about the dangers of electing either Hillary Clinton or Biden. Bernie Sanders. Gilmore, former U.S. Army intelligent agent who spent the last eight months campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination, said the difficulty of the debate structure combined with the national media coverage of the candidates made it impossible for him

to continue his campaign for presidency. But he said he is determined to help elect a Republican president. My campaign, Jim Gilmore said, was intended to offer the governor The track record of a true conservative experienced in national security to unite the party. My goal was to focus on the importance of this election as a real turning point and to emphasize the dangers of continuing on a road that will further undermine America's economy and weaken our national security. Nonetheless, I will continue to express my concerns about the dangers of electing someone who is pledged to continue Obama's disaster. policies. And I will continue to do everything I can to ensure that our next president is a free enterprise Republican who will restore our nation to greatness and keep our citizens safe. It's a sad day in America. Now, I endorsed Jim Gilmore for president of the United States.

And we didn't give this, we should have, I wish you would have held off at least another weekend before suspending his campaign, because I think we could have garnered big support in South Carolina. Those of you on social media, oh, I don't know, Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, and Twitter at Jeff EMRA, and Instagram, Jeff EMRA, we're all very happy to comment on Mr. Gilmore's suspension. Those of you that were worried about me, concerned about me, thank you. Thank you very much. Those of you that are concerned for Jim Gilmore, thank you. On behalf of Mr. Gilmore, thank you.

Those of you that are calling me the kiss of death, those of you that are asking me to endorse another candidate so that that candidate drops out in two days. I don't know, someone by the name of Donald Trump while I appreciate your participation in social media

at least, the very least you could have done, is giving me a day of reflecting on the suspension of the campaign of Jim Gilmore. But no. No. You've caught right to the heart. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.

So those of you living in the Northeast, you know, batten down the hatches, buckle up, get out the extra blankets, make sure you have enough firewood in case the power goes out. And my gosh, oh, be prepared. Yes, something this network is very good at reminding you to be, be prepared. Extreme cold coming to the northeast. Man, do I miss living up north in the northeast?

Do I ever? Oh, oh, do I want to be a part of sub-zero wind chill temperatures? Do I want to be a part of snow and ice? and not wanting to go outside, just having lockdown and freezing. Oh, do I miss that? Once in a while, it happens here in Texas, no question, but especially North Texas, which I just don't understand.

But that's a big battle that my wife and I have. She is big on the northeast and the cold. I am not. This is why I spent years in Florida. Okay. Sanhed. And while Dallas-Fort Worth, the Metroplex is great to live in, I do miss the ocean. I was just talking to someone the other day from Florida.

And, man, do I miss the ocean? And then I ran into someone yesterday who's from South Carolina. thinking about moving here and they live out, you know, on the coast by the ocean. And I'm like, wow. No. Oh, no, we want to get out of South Carolina. Okay. I mean, I understand wanting to move and this is the place to do it.

And if you, you know, you want to have a, you know, a little bit, I don't know, live in the big state of Texas. standing for freedom. Thumbs up to you. But man, I miss the ocean in the beaches. And I do not miss the cold and the freezing temperatures. So they're calling for a sub-zero cold front, you know, wind chills and everything. So bat down the hatches and be prepared. In fact, today you might want to go out because yesterday, the 12th, was the first day of,

the new Playboy magazine featuring non-nudes. Nobody's naked. Well, that's not true. They're not, you won't see them fully naked. Playboy's reinvention. It's on the newsstands. All right. It came out yesterday.

Have you got your copy? I mean, it might be time to get it. So when you're batting down the hatches in that, you know, 18 degree below zero wind chill, the Northeast, you could say, oh, I've got the new Playboy to go through. It's getting rid of the tagline entertainment for men. No more stodgy jokes. It's bigger, thicker paper. I bet you're making it more like, remember the magazine interview?

Oh, shoot. Who's the, I can't think of the artist's name now. That was the big interview magazine. did the interview magazine out of New York but his magazine was extra big and thick like that Andy Warhol Andy Warhol is called interview and that magazine is still out there

but when he was alive they've made it smaller now and it's you know it's still artsy and you know models and stuff from New York but when he was alive it was one of the extra big magazines thick paper and stuff it was really cool and I bet you that's what Playboy is

going toward the old interview style. I love the line from Larry Flint, founder of Hustler. I know Hepner's getting old because he's 90. I didn't know he'd lost his mind. Now, Scott Flander, CEO of Playboy Enterprises, hey, Huff is not lost his mind. He is leading the creative repositioning of Playboy to make kid is relevant today for millennial males is when he launched Playboy magazine in the 50s.

We just think we've transcended beyond the need for nudity. What a great press release. And actually it might work for him. Good luck, God bless. But it came out to out of the stands, run out there and get there. Now, a good promotion for Playboy being on the stands is that I see a Van of White story. Miss Wheel of Fortune. Miss everything to the world.

Miss Smiley Face, right? The headline says she regrets her Playboy cover. I didn't want to be on there. Yeah. Boy, your career has really sucked since then, huh? So she was on the cover in 87, but she wasn't actually, you know, she didn't do a photo shoot for Playboy. This is her telling the story.

What happened was when I moved to Hollywood, I was too embarrassed to ask my dad for money for rent. I did some lingerie shots, like we all do sometimes, you know, back in those days. And Hugh Hefner bought the picture. years. White claimed that Heffner's decision to put her on the cover was against her wishes. Hugh was a friend. Huh. So she was a friend at the time. This was in 87. He said, Vanna, we're going to put you on the cover. Oh, don't put me on the cover. My career could be ruined. And Hugh was like, yeah, no, no, your career is not going to be ruined. And no, you're on the cover. It's 87.

Wheel of Fortune's been on for a while. You're still, you know, you're the beginning of the Vanna White World. You're going on the cover. And now she's pissed. I don't talk to him. I feel bad. It was a long time ago, but that really hurt my feelings. Thanks to everyone out there who was on my side, they didn't fire me, and everybody was

very supportive. It was a great lesson. Was it, Vanna? Was it? Don't ever do anything that you think is wrong. Listen to that little. voice inside of you. I wish I wouldn't have done it.

And I did it. Yeah. Yeah, that lingerie shot ruined you, huh? Come on. That's more of a promo for the magazine. I'm sure it's almost sounds like she's working for half still. Boy, I wish they wouldn't have put me on the cover. Oh, by the way, the new magazine is out.

I mean, she's, first of all, get this, here's Vanna's story. She's a Guinness book of world records holder Which I wish I had a Guinness I want to be a Guinness World World what is whatever it's called I want to own a record My name on a record I have a great idea for a Guinness record

And I still want to pull it off And I believe That this particular world record Would be a great bit I may have talked to you about it before. I don't like to talk about it on the air because it's a tremendous idea. And there's radio stations around America that could pull it off. But she holds the Guinness Book of World Record for Television's most frequent clapper.

That's the kind of record I want. That's the kind of record I want. Congratulations, Van of your career was ruined that Playboy. This is the Jeff Fisher show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. Jeff Fisher. It is Jeff Fisher. Thank you so much for being here if you'd like to participate.

1-88-903-33 is the phone number, or you can follow on Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, Instagram, JeffEMRA, or on Twitter at JeffEMRA. Now, all right, so this is a big weekend. Big, big weekend in the world. A couple of reasons. One, Valentine's Day, holiday. Two, football is over. Sundays belong to the dead now. Okay?

Walking Dead is back. Yeah. The second half of this season is I am ready. for it. They released the four-minute trailer, the first four minutes of the episode a couple days ago. I am psyched. Now,

on Monday, I will release Talking Walking Dead, a separate podcast. You can look for it on, you know, the blaze.com slash radio under the Jeff Fisher show. I am fired up about that. Monday

is the Grammys. So, I mean, it's action-packed. weekend all around, right? Action-packed. When you go out, be, you know, be worried. Be worried because you might get bitten by a mosquito and, my gosh, you might get Zika. Okay. Is it Zika Zika?

Zika. I'm calling it Zika. I don't care what you call it. Okay? It's a Zika virus and you might get it. Okay? And it's going all over the world now. Okay?

It's everywhere. Now, if you want to know about it, you can go, there's a ZikaVirusMap.net. ZikaVirusMap.net. I believe that it's put up by my man who did the Ebola site, the Ebola map site. So just be prepared for Zika. Now, seriously, why are we so? I'm really, I'm confused at why we're freaking out over this. I got it. It's everywhere. I got it.

But, um, look, the symptoms, which I believe I have, oh, by the way, I think I I have Zika. I mean, it could be wrong.

A one in five people infected with Zika virus becomes ill. This according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Okay? The most common symptoms, fever, joint pain, red eyes. I think I have those.

As a matter of fact, I know I have those. So I think I have Zika. Other common symptoms include muscle pain and headache. Yep, I have it. Put me down. Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. Another one bites the dust. Only you don't bite the dust.

It's rare that anyone dies. Okay. The illness usually lasts for several days and two a week and then have a nice day. Okay. Now, I get that there's one dock, one place that believes that this, you know, causes these birth defects in pregnant women. That has not been 100% proven yet. Okay. So we're just, obviously, you don't want to have the birth defects.

So, you know, take precautions. I got it. But I don't believe that's not 100% proven yet that it actually causes that. Okay. Now, they're talking about Zika tests could be available within weeks. Yay! Now, that's capitalism right there. There's a virus that people don't know that they have.

We have to get a test. Get it on the shelves right now. Test yourself for Zika. If it turns red, you have Zika. So just be prepared, okay? Because you really, you don't want to get bitten by the mosquito. Who wants them getting bitten by a mosquito? Perhaps we should, I don't know, kill the mosquitoes.

Let's see, there's some kind of chemical. What is that chemical that kills mosquitoes all over the world? Huh. What is that chemical? I'm trying to think of what it's called. you call it poison, but I call it DDT and good for

humans because it's bad for mosquitoes. How about that? How about those take care of that? Okay, that'd be nice. What do you think? Maybe? Maybe. Hey.

It's the thought? Maybe we do it? Okay. Now, Valentine's Day. Are you ready for Valentine's Day? Because I most definitely hate this. I hate Valentine's Day.

I hate the whole idea of making me buy a gift at a certain time. Even Christmas drives me insane. I mean, I get it. It's a great holiday. It's wonderful and all that. But if I want to buy you a gift, I'll buy you a gift. I hate being forced to buy someone a gift.

Why? Now, Menthal Floss put out Valentine's Day related gifts, each state Googles more frequently than other states. All right. Here in Texas, the most Googled Valentine Day related gift searched plus size lingerie. Makes you happy about being in Texas, doesn't it? That's great. Florida's jewelry.

Up in the Northeast, Jeff. Let's see, New Hampshire, stuffed animals, Vermont, chocolate, boring. Maine, Robert Burns poetry. That's just Stephen King sitting in his house in Maine, the one guy in Maine. I'll just look up, poet. Couples cooking class in,

Ugh, ebbled, edible arrangement, Pandora, Brazzled, in Michigan, ballroom dancing lessons. Yay. In Wisconsin, fur coat. I wonder why that is. That's great. In Montana,

lobster tails. Wow. Montana? That's pretty amazing. And then in Idaho, Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve. Eve. I don't know if you, they still send out their little bags in the mail to everyone. I haven't seen one in our mail. Maybe my wife is just throwing it away or my father-in-law is

keeping it for himself when he gets the mail. But I remember the little flyers, little bags used to come out for the Adam and Eve's stuff. Couples, pajamas in California, flower delivery in Alaska. Ooh, get out there up in the north. started looking for sex toys, couples, yoga. Oh, my gosh, Oklahoma, boudoir photos. All right, stop it. If you're going to get something for Valentine's Day, at least, my gosh, get some jewelry and some flowers and move on.

Okay? How about that? And then, you know, I forgot the biggest thing going on this weekend. What the heck am I doing? I'm telling you about stupid gifts across the country for Valentine's Day, a day that agonizes me, which is tomorrow. But today we have another GOP debate. Yay.

Is this like the 100th GOP debate? I think it is. I think maybe this is 100 and we're moving on to, you know, maybe 100, 204 debates. I can't take it. But we're having it tonight. So you can listen for pre-debat. chat with a Doc and Skip and Jay Severin tonight

on the Blaze Radio Network and then they'll wrap it up when the debate is over on the Blaze Radio Network as well. So, you know, you can watch the debate wherever you want to watch it, wherever you want to listen to it, but before the debate and after the debate, Doc Skip and Jay are going to lead you into the debate

and take you out of the debate with what happened. And, you know, they are winding it down. I mean, now that our man, Jim Gilmore is out. you know, now you're talking about. Trump is still hawk on his big mouth and saying, you know, tweeting his, I'm going to sue Ted Cruz for not being an American citizen. Shut up. When he starts doing that, you know, things are, you know, looking a worse for the Donald.

Okay. And I listened to Donald Trump yesterday on A.M. Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida, 970 WFLA. he was having some big rally there last night. So, of course, he's got to, you know, go on the air and hawk his wares. And Jack and Ted were talking to him. And it was, you know, it was another Donald Trump interview. And I just wish Ted Webb would have read the article and not just the headline of the Common Core, the Common Core statement. Because Ted asked him, so you're against Common Core, what are you doing?

And Donald Trump went up and down and back and forth. I'm for Common Core, I'm for Common Core, I've always been for Common Core, I've always been for Common Core. Where did you get that? Where'd you get that story? Send me that story. I wish I knew where you heard that story. Don, you said it. You said it.

And I'm going to find exactly where he said it. But he may have misspoke. I'll give him that. I hate to give Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt. I will. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. And I'll say, okay, you know, all right, so you misspoke. Right, Don, you always meant for Common Core, we got it.

No problem. No problem. But he posted his video on Facebook, he claiming Common Core is total disaster, we can't let it continue, which is what he took his stance in Tampa yesterday on the morning show. However, he said a rally in Clemson, South Carolina, Wednesday night, Donald Trump came out in favor of the controversial. Common Core.

Okay? He said, now this is what, this is why I think he just, this is why I think he just misspoke. He said, we're going to do something special. Common Core, we're going to keep. Okay. Now, he may have meant we're going to keep going. We're going to keep after it. We're going to keep going to get rid of it.

But he said, we're going to keep in South Carolina. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he misspoke. But he was adamant with Jack and Ted about I'm for Common Core. Where did you hear that? And where did you hear that? And I really like that story. And who wrote that story? And where did you hear that?

I was screaming. Screaming. I don't think they heard me because I was listening. I was streaming the audio on my laptop. And I'm pretty sure they didn't hear me because they didn't ask and they didn't say. You said it. So the next time you hear Donald swearing up and down about something, just know, okay, just know that he lies.

And also know, he said it. And he changes his mind with the wind. I'm trying to give him the benefit of it out with the Common Core thing because he has been pretty consistent. Pretty consistent with that. But in the speech, in South Carolina, he said we're going to keep Common Core. Okay? He said it.

Ugh. Oh, wish Ted would have heard me. It drives me insane. Why did you hear that story? I'd like to know who wrote that story. He didn't send me that story. Donald, you said it. You're listening to the judge.

Congratulations. Yes. Yes, it's a wonderful thing. The Center for Immigration Studies has updated his list include Dallas County and Texas, Philadelphia, 5 Kentucky counties, and possibly the whole state of Massachusetts as areas where federal law enforcement demands for information and access to jail to illegal immigrants will be denied.

Yay. Yay. We're a sanctuary city and that's it. Okay. Got it. Got it. Coming up next hour. I'm going to play a part of an interview I did with Christian Slough from Freyraven23.com.

And it is fascinating, amazing, and unbelievable. And I'll tell you more about that. Just around the corner. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. It was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program now. Stand clear.

The blaze.com slash radio Jeff Fisher's show. Coming up right after this broadcast, Mike Opelka and Pure Opelca. he's quick to point out that Zika update from a real doctor, Dr. Jorge, today on Pure O'Pelka, real medical info. I could be a doctor, okay. I mean, I could be. I mean, I got that I'm technically not a doctor, but, you know, I could be. And I mean, what more information do you need on Zika than what I gave you?

Really? That's it. bit by mosquito. You're welcome. Okay. Earlier this week, I had an opportunity to talk to Kristen Slau from the wife of a man who is in prison right now. The website is Free Raven23.com. The story is fascinating. While it's fascinating, it's all. also horrific.

And I saw this story. And then I was reminded that I had met her about a year ago at a book signing. And she was talking to me about the events that were taking place. And, you know, we just never hooked up, never got together. Well, now, I mean, we have, I have a, I have the interview, the entire interview is going up right now on the blaze.com slash radio. It's called Free Raven 23 interview with Christian Slough. I'd like to play a part of that interview just to give you a little tease of exactly what this story is about. We have four families waiting to find out the fate of their loved ones.

And it's really based on false justice. So really, what I'd like to know is how do you guys cope? How are you doing? How are they doing? I don't know. That's really the hardest question. You know, when people ask me questions about the facts of the case and everything. Yeah, I can get through that.

I think that, well, there's the positive parts of it, right? Like our four families are so close. We are just as thick as can be. We talk every day. We've absolutely bonded together through this. And there's not been a single moment where I've ever felt like alone on my own little island that I've got people out there that understand me. And, you know, while I tend to do a lot of the speaking, just because that's kind of the role I fall into, everybody pulls weight. Everybody's out there every day pushing and scratching to get this thing out in front of the public and to get it right.

but we also spend a lot of our time going to see the guys. So, like, my husband is in a federal prison about three hours away from me. My toddler and I spend most weekends in a prison visiting room pretty much every weekend. So it's a really difficult and challenging time. And I think at this point, we've just decided that, you know, God has a bigger plan for us, that he put us in this position for a reason, that he puts opportunities for us out there. and I don't think that our mission is just to get these four guys out.

I think that our mission is to expose what's going on in our government because there is a tidal wave of information coming at people and they're finally starting to understand that just because your government tells you something doesn't mean that they're right. And I think the more people understand that and the more that they exercise their right to vote and get involved with the candidates and understand what's going on that it makes a difference. And I think there's also some huge changes that need to be made within the Department of Justice.

It's a really sickening and dismaying thing to realize that our Department of Justice is really anything, but there's simply a tool of whatever administration is pulling the strings at the time. All right, so you have a little toddler.

I do. She's about to be three this month. It'll be the second birthday dad is missed. Are all these guys in the same prison? Are they separated? I mean, we do we have them all over the country? They're all over. So generally by...

The whole thing is unbelievable. I'm tired of saying that word. It's like every single time we wake up something more unbelievable has happened. Actually, I think that that's actually fairly by design. They were all from different parts of the country. So my husband's a few hours away from me. Nick's a few hours from his sister. Evans a few hours from his brother.

So you mean somebody actually was trying to be at least somewhat nice? Well, actually, resident rates are improved when people are involved in their community and have regular visitation. So it's actually, there's some science. behind it, right? Where if you have your family and friends coming to visit you, that you're less likely to commit crimes. There's also science by not putting not guilty people in prison. There should be a science behind that as well, but there's really not. And actually, that's one of the really eye-opening things that has happened is, you know, hearing stories of some of the other

inmates and people that my husband's become involved with. And, you know, not necessarily that they're not guilty, but I'm sure that there are some that are. But it's really the the way that our officials and prosecutors go about with this kind of conviction at all cost mentality and the way our sentencing works and the way mandatory minimums work and the way charging decisions are made in order to be punitive if you won't play ball. A lot of that stuff has been really eye-opening and really seriously disturbing. Okay, so are pensions, funds, money, how are we doing that? Are you getting any military pensions?

Is the company helping you at all? No. I mean, you're just, you're left on the curb. They're kept you to the curb. I live with my parents. I have my income. I have my toddler. I have absolutely nothing else coming in and either do any of the rest of the families.

Kelly, Dustin's wife says two children, a mortgage. She's a teacher. These were military guys. I mean, they just didn't start working for Blackwater. No, that's right. They're all decorated veterans, but none of them actually retired from the military. So you don't receive ongoing funds from the military. unless you retire from there.

So they all had active duty service commitments left, went on to other things. The VA was paying disability payments to at least one of the guys. And after he was convicted, they cut off his disability payments because apparently being convicted of a crime makes you abled. So they cut off his payments. A couple of the men, several of the men were receiving payments through the defense, Bill Act, DBA from injuries they sustained

when they were in Iraq. That all got cut off as well. Blackwater arranged for our defense. I think that I actually had insurance. And they contracted with our defense attorneys for a lump sum. That money ran out ages ago. These defense teams are working for us for public defender wages at this point because they refused to leave us high and dry. God bless them. God bless them. You can find out how you can help them by listening to the entire interview at the blaze.com radio under the Jeff Fisher Show. It's called Raven 23

False Justice. And that was Christian Slau. Dustin, Evan and Paul. These guys, I mean, it's unbelievable. They got 30 years and a day. Okay, the minimum, the minimum was 30 years.

So they gave them 30 years in a day. And Nick, because he was found guilty well, he's in his life in prison. So listen to the interview. Just know that they are in prison right now, 30 years, four of them, Dustin, Evan, and Paul, 30 years in a day. And Nick, when you read their names, know that he is in prison right now for life.

Download it, listen to it, help in any way you can. Raven 23, False Justice. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show returns on the Blaze Radio Network. Oh, my gosh, it does return. 888-90-33 is the phone number. Plenty O live programming for you on the Blaze Radio Network today. Mike O'Pelka, PURR O'Pelka, coming up immediately following this broadcast.

And then Salcedo at noon, Slater at 3, Pags at six, and then you've got live Doc and Skip and Jay with the pre-debate. Yes, there's another GOP debate tonight. Pre-debate talk, and then Doc and Skip and Jay will wrap up the evening and wrap up with the debate chat until midnight on the Blaze Radio Network. They will start immediately following the debate and go until midnight. A little start, an hour before the debate starts, and you'll be ready to go on the Blaze Radio Network. Okay? Okay.

Good. So, I see this story about saving $1,500 a year by cutting out food waste. And you think about all the food that we waste here in America. And I was going down this list that talks about what it asks you to do. look, you're not going to, you know, a lot of stuff you're not going to do. Okay, you're just not. You know, some of them are just helpful tips. Shop deliberately from a list for just a couple of meals ahead of time.

Otherwise, your eyes will be bigger than your stomach and much of what you will buy will end up in the trash. Use up leftovers by making catch-all dishes like soups, stir fries, fried rice. Stale bread, hey, make menus involving croutons. French toast or bread pudding. Learn to store food properly. Do not get freaked out by expiration dates. Okay.

So those are just basic, helpful hints on trying to save money so you waste less food. Right. Right. So January 22nd comes along in a country that goes by the name of Venezuela. coming to a country near you, by the way, very soon. President Amadoro replaced his minister of urban agriculture. Minister of urban agriculture. I'm sure he replaced him and has anyone seen him?

No, he's gone now. He is and was at that time just a couple of. the weeks ago asking Venezuelans to grow their own food because import shortages are not going away anytime soon. Okay. It's America's fault. No question. He wants to beat our president with a stick. Remember he has said, hey, no problem. It comes to America. I want to beat him with a That's the new urban agriculture head. So, and it goes on and on and on about Venezuela and what they're doing. And America sucks and there's food shortages.

So start growing your own potatoes. What do we see as a headline today? Venezuela. That, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, declares another emergency. It has run out of food. Venezuela's opposition legislature has declared a nutritional emergency, proclaiming that the country simply does not have enough food to feed its population. Hmm. Hmm.

They've been waiting in line for pints of milk, bags of flour, cooking oil. At one point, people were waiting in line overnight for the stores to open, so they put a ban on overnight line standing. And so you could only start standing in line early in the morning, agonizing. Now, they want more imports on basic foods and inspect government-owned food companies to ensure their meeting efficiency standards. Huh. So a dictatorship socialist country is having a. problems feeding their people.

Wonder what could go wrong with all of that? I don't know. A recent report highlighted the struggle of the average Venezuelan what they endure to inquire basic foods like butter, oil, flour, five hours in line to buy chicken. The shelves are empty. Okay. There were people killed.

We saw video not long ago of fighting in front of a store over a bag of flour. Someone died. Okay. So here's what's coming for you. If we allow someone like, oh, I don't know, who could it be? Who could it be? A Bernie Sanders? Or someone like, who could it be?

Who could it be? Oh, Hillary Clinton. although some would say that Hillary is better than Bernie because she at least doesn't want to go as far as Bernie I think she just doesn't want to say she wants to go as far as Bernie okay now we have primary coming up

the primary in South Carolina coming up on Monday you may want to get out and cast your vote in South Carolina. And then coming up, I think the first of March is Super Tuesday. Somewhere in that neck of the woods

is Super Tuesday. And, you know, if you're involved in that, you need to get out. Right now, I just saw a Fox poll. Holy crap. It can't, I mean, I don't know. I don't know any of the details. I don't know, you know, who was asked and how many people were involved. But the latest

on Fox, which seems to be happy that Trump is in the lead, said that Trump 34-5 Cruz 15-5 in South Carolina. So Ted can still hang strong with a second place showing in South Carolina. But I want, obviously, we want him to win. Glenn's there all weekend. campaigning for him. But Super Tuesday comes, he has got to have a strong showing. Super Tuesday.

But if he wins Monday, hello. Now, he's got to come out tonight in this debate and be strong. No whining. I don't want to hear people whining about not getting enough time. I don't want to hear people whining about, oh, thank God you finally called me. I don't want to hear people whining about, oh, instead of answering that question, I want to answer this question. No whining in the debate.

The first person that whines, I want, helped off the stage immediately. You're whining? Oh, yeah, you're done. The Jeff Fisher Show, The Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Yes, it is.

888-903 is the phone number. You know, okay, so just a reminder. We do have a GOP debate tonight that you can listen to pre-debate chat with Doc, Skip, and Jay from 8 to 9 tonight on the Blaze Radio Network. And then immediately following the debate, because we can't air the debate. Heaven forbid you don't have the pay for the rights to air the debate. Wouldn't want to be able to get out there to as much many people as part. possible. We'd want that to happen. Oh, wait, that's capitalism. No, we don't, we can't have that. So we can't air the debate. However, as soon as the debate is over, we will wrap it up with Doc

Gipp and Jay on the Blaze Radio Network until midnight. So be a part of it. And you can participate too. Yeah, they take phone calls. It's amazing. The phone lines hook up that late in the day, but they do. So you can call them and talk to him about it. Just tell, see how bad Trump did and who he attacked and if Bush hung in there okay and Carson was awake for more than half of the debate and the first person that winds, that's it.

Now I know I saw some, you know, I saw little jokes people thinking they're funny, ha ha ha ha, the first person that whines, maybe I should endorse them. I believe they were referring to my endorsement of Jim Gilmore two days ago and then Jim postponed

his presidential campaign yesterday. You know, I guess they were alluding to the fact that I'm some kind of kiss of death campaigns. I kind of disagree with that. Okay.

You know, whatever. Whatever. You can follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA, Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, Instagram, at Jeff EMRA. It's like a little future. You know, I mentioned the other day on Pat and Stu a little bit.

I talked a little bit about the digital twin that would become your critical partner in health care. I'm pretty amazing that we're really close so that you'll have your digital twin. And the doctors are talking, hey, they're real objects. They're like bridges, buildings, automobiles. It's how they behave using a digital twin. We can see how if everything flexes, it works good. you know people just get kind of freaked out with the digital twin of I don't know

a human they start thinking it's a clone when does the digital twin take over there's a new movie for you digital twin but you have you know new organs

heart new joints right everything we talked at we talked at one point I know we talked about on this show about the 3D printing of knees because I have a knee replacement and mine is just the old-fashioned whatever kind of, you know, petro technology, steel, iron girder knee that they put in you, that they cement to your bones. Now they're 3D printing them. So I could, you know, you can have a knee replacement with a digital twin.

That's what it is, right? How cool is that? I mean, that is really, really cool. Now, they don't, you know, they want to, you know, this is where you're going to get into trouble because it's going to require coordination across care facilities, software companies, governmental organizations, which may be reluctant to standardize and share their proper proprietary data. I can say that word proprietary. And of course, software engineers must build more organs based on high-resolution scans and probes of IRL organs. after all, says Alexandra Golby, the director of image-guided neurosurgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Any 3D model is only as good as the data itself.

Yeah, no kidding. So that's quite invasive. But it'd be nice, right? I mean, it'd be pretty sweet. Your heart's going bad. My digital twins heart is good. Goodbye. I need it.

Right? No? You don't want to clone with new organs? I do. Navy calls on researchers to create firefighting humanoid robot. It's about time. We talk about robots taking over jobs all the time. People are scared.

They're pissed. They're upset. We saw the video yesterday. It's still up on the blaze. right now where Carrier Air Conditioning told their employees in Indianapolis, hey, we love you, but I don't even think they said they love you, but they may have. Your jobs are history. We're moving everything to Mexico.

Have a nice day. Oh, by the way, your jobs aren't history yet, so keep doing a good job. It's coming soon. Who at Carrier thought that was a good idea? Because it wasn't. Well, we had to tell them. otherwise they would have found out on their own. We didn't want that to happen.

Yeah, no kidding. Perhaps maybe, I don't know, A, don't do it. Or B, tell your employees, I don't know, in a private situation. Instead of everyone filming on their cell phones, you watch people pretty mad. It's a fascinating video just because you get the idea that the employees aren't real happy. and good luck with creating good products up until you move to Mexico. It might be the time you might want to rethink that purchase of carrier.

I don't know. Maybe not. Maybe it's time, you know, maybe this is the best time to buy a carrier because they'll be more diligent and they'll be making better products in the hopes that it saves their job. I would doubt that very much. The Navy is hoping to one day have robots instead of sailors, to take on the dangerous job of tackling on-board fires. Why don't we do that in the...

I mean, we could do that all over. It would be great to use firefighting robots, right? The robot, 5'10, weighs about 140 pounds, designed to carry out all other onboard tasks, such as basic maintenance work, free up naval personnel for more complicated tasks. So the Navy wants these robots to help them and cut down. Actually, that's a good idea.

And the Navy, obviously, the military is, you know, trying to cut back on their military servicemen and women. And it would greatly increase productivity for our military to have robots doing the mundane day-to-day things. You know, just like businesses do, huh. Have robots do the mundane, day-to-day things. Well, it frees up the other humans to do better things, right? Right. Okay, the future. Now, search and rescue missions are some of the most horrible things and some of the best things.

We have dogs that smell for life. You walk through rubble of buildings, crashes, trying to find humans, right? And listen for people screaming or using infrared scanners, trying to find some sort of body and rubble. Well, now a University of California at Berkeley team found that cockroaches are the thing to do that with. A horde of robot cockroaches, pretty, I mean, that's pretty slick. Developing a mechanical version of a cockroach so that they construct it and off it goes. Off it goes with their little computer chip inside, being their little cockroach finding people in rubble search and rescue missions.

We need low-cost robots as first responders, and we feel this is really the best model. It has an origami-like exosal skeleton. It can go into tiny spaces and keep moving. A swarm of these cockroach robots could locate people buried under debris. Animals that are soft, such as worms and slugs, are masters of shape-changing, whereas anthropods, such as spiders and insects, take advantage of their rigid exoskeletons to run and jump. But cockroaches can go anywhere. They can slip through cracks and crevices. The cockroach robot will be outfitted with sensors before it's deployed into the field.

there's commercial interest in the idea. I bet. I bet there's commercial interest in the idea. I mean, why not use the computer cockroaches to check foundations of buildings, right? Or spy on people. But I know it's kind of creepy because cockroaches kind of creep people out. You know, the palmetto bug. I mean, when I first moved to Florida, I really wasn't.

familiar with cockroaches or palmetto bugs they call them in Florida because they're the big black ones and some of them in Florida actually fly big well they're tough to kill but the regular palmetto bug cockroach not the up north roaches the roaches if they have up north are a little bit different they're not the palmetto cockroaches yes there's different types of roaches I first moved to Florida. Those damn roaches freaked me out. And then, they're everywhere. I mean, you keep them at bay.

And the best you can do in the state of Florida or the south is to keep them in bay, right? You want to create a barrier around where you live so they stay out of that area. You're not going to kill them all, but you want them to stay out of the area that you are living in. So we first moved into the very first time we bought a house in Florida, man, it was infested because nobody had lived there for a while. And, you know, you open up the cabinet and you turn on the light. So you go on a mission of getting rid of that. You do not. There is, I don't know, there's only a couple of things maybe I can think of that are creepier than opening a cabinet and cockering.

and cockroaches swarming everywhere. And so, I mean, you just keep them at bay. Ants, all that kind of stuff in Florida, anywhere in the south, you're not going to kill them all. Get over it. You're just not. But there are ways to just keep them out of where you live. And that's the best we can ask for, right? We want cockroaches and bugs to be out of where we live.

We don't mind. You can be out there, be over there on the other side of that brick wall, but not inside. the brick wall. And speaking of South Carolina, oh my gosh. Columbia, South Carolina, the home of the University of South Carolina, the Gamecocks, SEC Nation. I'm at the university for a class. It was on Amber Alerts. They were holding a special thing for radio. people and news people on Amber Alerts. So we go to South Carolina for this big, you know, Amber Alert classes that they're having for a couple of days. And we're staying in the hotel, we're staying at a hotel.

So we're staying at a hotel. And I mean, in the middle of the night, it's about 1.32 o'clock in the morning. I feel this thing crawling across my chest. And I mean, it's just a. You know what I mean? I can't explain. Woo! And I mean, I jumped out of bed.

I freaked. First of all, it's 2 o'clock in the morning. I am wide awake. Wide awake. And there is not going to be a cockroach alive in this room that I'm staying at before I lay back down. Okay. And I hunted him down. I finally found that bastard.

Sorry. I finally found him back at a quarter. corner, the curtains, the little table the phone was on, hunted him down until he couldn't go anywhere. Then I destroyed him. Okay, I was on the hunt for the cockroach that dared crawl over me in the middle of the night. But then, you know, once he was dead, I mean, I couldn't go back to sleep anyway because he started thinking about that feeling of that cockroach crawling over your body. So, boy, it makes you want to move to South Carolina, doesn't it?

This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. We need more time together. I mean, we've already wrapped up today. It's unbelievable.
