No, seriously. You look fantastic. Anybody tell you different. It's okay. You got shorts on, that t-shirt looks great on you. I know it's your favorite shirt. Just drink your coffee, relax, take it easy. It's okay.

Thanks for being here. I appreciate it on the Blaze Radio Network. You can tweet me, Jeffrey MRA, Facebook, Jeffrey Fisher, phone number 888-9033. I'm a little concerned. Are you getting these emails from your friends now? This is a warning from me to you, right? It's not real. But when you get it, you'll think, oh my gosh, Tom is in trouble.

I hope you get this on time. I made a vacation trip to Istanbul, Turkey. I had my bag stolen from me with my passport, mobile phone, and personal effects therein. The embassy had just issued me a temporary passport, but I have to pay a ticket and settle my hotel bills with the manager, You're thinking to yourself, holy crap, what's wrong? I've got to help Tom out. I've made contact with my bank, but it would take me four to five working days to access funds in my account.

The bad news is, my flight will be leaving very soon, and I'm having problems settling the hotel bills, and the hotel manager won't let me leave until I settle the hotel bills. I need your help. I'm in a fix. Can I get a loan of $2,950? you'll have it as soon as I get back home. I lost my bank card. Please let me know if I can count on you.

And I need you to keep checking our email because it's the only way I can reach you. Regards Tom. Tom, I don't know you. But I'm willing to, if you get this, and actually the Tom with the last name, I do know. So it's spam from someone just using his name. And so I'm sure they're doing that everywhere with friends of yours. So whatever you do. Does someone going to send this guy

almost $3,000? I hope not. But if you do, it's your fault. It's your fault that you got burned. Okay, not mine. I'm just warning you, when you get that email,

it's spam. Okay. Who else? I think now, do you think when you hear all these diseases, like the Ebola guys are coming into the country, the doc and the lady nurse or whatever, coming in from Africa. The reports are saying the CDC says, the one report I read was

they're coming to Atlanta next Monday or Tuesday. And then I heard this morning on a news report they're coming today. So they might be trying to sneak them in today. We can get the Ebola victims in like, just boom, fly them into Atlanta. No problem. But we can't get Sergeant Tamerisi out of Mexico. No, that would be horrible. And I noticed, speaking of Tamarisi, our president speaking yesterday for what seemed like 18 hours, deplored the Israeli hostage, but we didn't say anything about Mexico, keeping Tamaraci for making a wrong turn.

So that's okay. Don't worry about it, President Obama. We can forget all about him too, okay? No, we can't. Over 100 days, it's embarrassing. Get him out. Mexico, let him go. and then we'll talk to you again, okay?

But I think I have Ebola. I think I have Ebola. I woke up the other day, and I've got some kind of thing happening with my right eye. It's kind of red and it's swollen. It's got some kind of thing going on, and I think I have Ebola. Everybody's leading about Ebola.

We've got travel warnings. I can't go to Liberia, I can't go to Guinea, and I can't go to Sierra Leone. Well, I mean, I can't go there, but the centers for disease control have given it a level three advisory. So they're saying don't, don't go there. There is don't travel there. Don't travel to Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. So if you're

packing right now, getting ready for that trip to any of those countries, just stop. Don't go. Because it's very possible that you could, you know, Ebola is starting to really break out. Now, in this article from the, uh, the who, our friends at the world, World Health Organization. They say that the disease has killed 729 people and affected more than 1,300. However, it doesn't say in what time frame. So it makes you think like it's 729 people in two days, but it's been quite some time. But I, so I, what is Ebola? You know, we hear so much about the whole, the Ebola, Ebola, well, it's hemorrhagic fever. It's one of numerous viral hemorrhagic fevers. It's severe. This is, this is the CDC.

report. It is a severe, often fatal disease in humans and non-human primates, such as monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees. Signs and symptoms of Ebola from the centers of disease control and prevention. Fever. Headache. Joint in muscle aches. Check. Weakness? Check. Diarrhea. Vomiting. stomach pain, lack of appetite. I don't have that yet. A rash, red eyes. Oh, those are checks. That's what I think.

That's why I think I have a puffy eye. Hickups, not yet. Cough. No. Sore throat? Maybe. Chest pain. Difficulty breathing.

Difficulty swallowing. Not yet. Bleeding inside and outside of the body. I'm not bleeding outside. I'm not sure about inside. So if you have any of those symptoms, you too, too have Ebola. So be careful. And don't be traveling with to, where is it, Liberia, Guinea,

and Sierra Leone. These are big time travel, big, big time travel countries. This is the Blaze Radio Network and the Jeff Fisher Show. Thank you so much for joining us today. I am, I'm really excited about being here and being with you. It's been so long since I've been on the air, I'm unable to talk to you, be able to share some stories and do some things with you and have a little fun. So welcome to the Blaze Radio Network. If you want to get on board, you can get on board by dialing 888-903-33. You can tweet me, Jeff E-M-R-A, and we'll try to figure out what the heck we're going to do with this broadcast. Yeah, on the Blaze Radio Network.

This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome. How are you? Good to see you. You look great. Seriously. You look great. Just sip your coffee. Relax. Take it easy. Don't worry about it. Okay. 888-90-3-33 is the phone number. For those of you, I've got some, a couple of great TSA stories we're going to get to today. We've got to talk a little bit about movies. We've got to talk a little bit about, well, we talked a little bit about the CDC saying you can't go to the three countries through the paper. ways. It's Guinea. You don't want to go there. It's Ebola. Right? You don't want to go there. What the heck did I do? It's Guinea. Liberia and Sierra Leone. You don't want to go to those two countries.

Throw that away anymore. But, but you could come to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Oh my gosh. Where we're broadcasting from with the Mercury Studios. Yes, that's right. The Blaze Radio Network. Oh, my gosh. Right here. Studios, Dallas, Fort Worth, because it is the third top tourism destination in the country, according to this article, Dallas, Fort Worth. Number two, New York.

New York, which, oh my gosh, that's where some of the Blaze Radio Network is that you're hearing from today as well. Huh, two and three, but number one, Los Angeles, California. Now, I just was in the Los Angeles area. And now, while California is nice, you know, that's not, I mean, why would you, I don't know why you want to go there unless you could go up into the mountains, but then you wouldn't count it as Los Angeles, right? The number four destination is Chicago, come on.

Really? Really, you want to go to Chicago? Seriously? The gun-free zone of Chicago? Huh. Uh-huh. Okay. San Francisco, Vegas, all these cities people want to go to.

Number nine, these cities like Atlanta is in the top 20, I think that's coming off. Why is that coming off? Because that's where the Ebola people are being sent. So, I mean, yeah, yeah. They're going to be in, you know, plastic bags and you're not going to be able to spread it around. Uh-huh. Okay. No problem.

I've watched Walking Dead. I know where it happens in Atlanta. Okay. that that's not a building though is it and then you have the cities that are the most dangerous which I was looking that long ago with these cities in oh my gosh I mean like I was I was born in Saginaw Michigan number six on the list

number six on the list you have a one and 17 chance to become part of a violent crime in Saginaw Michigan oh that's not as bad as Detroit. It's not as bad as Chester, Pennsylvania. It's not as bad as Oakland, California. And it's not as bad as Newburgh, New York. Newburgh, New York, one in 17, but 60 people in every thousand are, you don't have a crime happen to them. It's pretty bad. That's pretty bad. And in

Chester, Pennsylvania, I lived outside of Philadelphia for, I don't know, two or three years. And Pennsylvania is beautiful. I love this. state of Pennsylvania. But Chester, Pennsylvania, one in 18 chance to becoming a victim of violent or property crime, 98% of the communities in Pennsylvania have a lower crime rate. You could almost live anywhere else in Pennsylvania and have a lower crime rate. That's pretty amazing. Camden, New Jersey. I don't know if you've ever been there about Camden. Oh, my gosh. and Flint, Michigan. I mean, that's up there with Saginaw and Detroit.

That's between Saginaw and Detroit and Michigan. That's kind of the I-75 corridor there in Michigan. When you come up through Detroit and you head to Flint and then you go to Saginaw. And those three areas, three cities, good times. Good, good times. As you've seen the pictures of Detroit. Yeah. Well, it just spreads out north of Detroit.

It rolls right into Flint or right into Saginaw. Good living there. good, good living. And for those of you that plan on going on your little vacation and being off for the summer, I see that 14% of you admit that you faked being sick to go on a trip during the summer. Really?

Huh. That's a good example for your kids. Good example for your kids. Oh, we have to go to us. I'll just call it sick. Mommy, don't you have your job to go to? I'll just call it sick. nobody knows everything's fine I'm just calling sick we'll go on the trip and it's nice out people

they just they don't care work doesn't care don't work so it's okay but mom don't you don't you're supposed to be responsible you keep preaching about being responsible and doing the right thing yeah yeah this is the right thing but I have so many sick days and you know we don't get them back if we don't use it. So we're going to use it and we're going on vacation. That's what we're doing. Okay. Oh, okay, mom. Thank you. Love you. Rob in Dallas, Texas is on the phone joining us today. Good morning, Jeffrey. How are you, my friend? Fantastic. Fantastic. How's like? I know how life is in Dallas. Can you hear me? I can. How are you, sir? I can't hear you, Jeff. I will put Rob on hold.

Hello, Rob. How are you? Nope. I'm not going to talk to Rob. No, I can hear you, but I can. You know what, Rob, I don't want to talk to you. I've decided. Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it. Rob, I love you. We'll talk about the crime. I'm in Arlington that I heard driving in today. And hopefully it's not you. But if it is, we will find you. We will find you. We will pay.

Thanks for listening. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. More in mere moments after the bottom of the hour newscast. I'm the Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show is on. It is?

Oh my gosh. Welcome to it. On the Blaze Radio Network 888-9033-33 is the phone number. We'll figure it out. Just dial the number. We'll get to it. We're going to have a 60-second soap box next hour. We'll figure it out for you.

Don't worry about it. And, you know, we talked about the destinations for the summer. And there's so many TSA stories lately. And I really don't hate the TSA. I don't have a... Most of the time, the TSA, TSA has been okay. You know, they're okay.

They're just, they're doing it. I know that we've had the story of the one TSA agent in, in Orlando, I think, that didn't know that Washington, D.C. was in the United States, perhaps. And then the, well, more training is needed. Yeah, yeah, maybe more training is needed just a little bit. Maybe before they work for the TSA. I don't know.

Maybe we get everybody some maps. I heard that somewhere before. I don't know where, but maybe we do. Now, most of the time it's the airlines. Now, you know, the TSA we've had our stories, our man Chris Peterson, who works here at the Blaze Radio Network. I don't know what he does for us. It does something.

He goes through security here in Dallas. and they let him on, oh, wait, am I getting back home to the S&A, I think this was here in Dallas. Yeah, headed Dallas forward, DFW International, which, by the way, huge airport, really not that convenient to get in and around.

Every time I go there, now I park, I park off-site and let the vans drive me in. I don't even want to drive. I don't even want to go in. And originally I looked it up, the little side note on DFW, I looked at up, I believe. And you can double-check this out of it,

and then you can tweet me, Jeffrey, I'm going to say, you're an idiot, you're wrong, but I believe I'm right. Dallas-Fort Worth International, bigger than Manhattan. So, I mean, you taxi quite a way. You can land, you land at DFW. We've landed at DFW, and then you taxi for, you know, 30 minutes until you get to airside. Anyway, that having been said, he goes through TSA in Dallas

and gets on his plane, through TSA, on his plane with his Costco card, his Costco. ID. That's pretty good. That's pretty good when you can travel with that. Or is it? Is it really? I mean, you had to get through, you had to, you know, he had to do a couple of probes. A couple of probes from the TSA, a couple extra searches. But they let them through.

That's nice of them. I mean, and he can, you know, make fun of it all he wants. He would have been really not real happy if he had to stay in Dallas instead of getting back to New York. So, you got to love the TSA. It's the airlines. Most of the airlines, I don't know. I don't know what happened. They all, they cut down on their flights.

They got to make sure all the flights are booked. But they, you know, they, we had the story of the guy in, on Southwest Airlines. Now, the headline is a little misleading. It says family booted off Southwest Airlines after dad tweeted about rude gate agent. Okay, well, yeah, They got booted up, but they were put back on the flight. But they were put back on the flight. I heard my name on the broadcast asking me to get off the plane.

I didn't know what was going on. I thought we left something. He then went up there. So I walked to the people in Watson. He ran to the same gate agent that he tweeted about. She said, I was a safety threat. See, now that's the gate agent, and they could do that anywhere. You're a threat, and you're not getting on the plane.

And that's just from tweeting. Now, I'm a little nervous about that because I tend to tweet a little bit about the airlines. And they're really good. That's what I think she was concerned about. One of the things that the airlines are really good at is social media. I mean, I have tweeted about, we had an incident in Phoenix with American Airlines. And it really was more of, after looking at it, back at it, it was more of the airport's fault. just management of bringing in planes

and structuring the air it's more of the airport's fault but it was with you know the airline American Airlines and I you know I've tweeted and they answer right away they're really good about social media so I'm sure that this Southwest agent what was her name doesn't matter because he tweeted unreal expectations awaiting from airline and because they weren't going to let Come on. He had, okay, he had, the problem was that he had VIP boarding, but he was traveling

with his two kids. Now, in the past, the gate agent said, oh, that's fine, you get on with your kids go. You have VIP, you get on first. Well, this particular agent said, uh, no, no, it doesn't go for your kids. You can get on, your kids can stay here and wait until all the VIPs get on, or you can wait with your kids, but no, you're all not getting out with VIP. And he's like, that never happened before. And she's like, well, I'm not changing my mind tough. So they wait, and then they got on the plane. And then he starts tweeting bad stuff about her. And so she calls him off the plane, says he's a threat,

and makes him delete the tweet. And then he deletes the tweet, and they let him back on the plane. Oh my gosh. I would have been really upset. I probably would have been more upset than this guy. Because in Phoenix, we landed on time, and they made a big deal about us,

leaving Dallas on time because we had all these people on the flight who had to catch other flights in Phoenix. More than half of the flight had connecting flights. So we wanted to get out of Dallas on time and had a big deal of it so that we could get to Phoenix on time or early. And we originally landed early so that we could get people off the plane to their connecting flight. and so we landed. And they said, then they said they screwed it all up. And I think they knew that they had to screw it up.

Now that I look back, I think they knew they had to screw it up to make people miss the flight that it already left. Because they landed, and then they said, okay, if you have a connecting flight before a certain time, let these people get off the plane first.

And we were in that group. So we get up, and we start grab up. having our stuff. And then we're halfway through getting up. We're standing in the line. We're getting our stuff. And then there's everybody, this plane is screwed up.

And now we've got to check it. So everybody has to get off the plate. Now go ahead, get off. And so everybody stands up and starts getting off the plane. There's no way. I mean, we hustle. Grab our stuff. I've got, I'm traveling with my two young kids, my 12-year-old,

and my 7-year-old and my wife. And let's go. Let's grab our stuff. Let's go. We rush. We did. And we got. Who the gate?

well I said it was on time the gate agent decided that it was not because we turned the corner and I was like we made it because the door was still open and she looked up at me looked me straight in the eye

and closed the door boom sorry gate closes 10 minutes I'm right here okay the gate closes 10 minutes but I'm right here we've got to kidnap

and oh my god I was mad oh I was right I could have been a threat at that time it's possible I could have been a threat at that time and then I my wife is like grabbing my arm going don't and my kids are standing there like

oh no daddy's gonna get trouble he's going to get trouble he's going to start hollering and I'm like uh okay fine And I just walked away because I got it. So what they did, see, that's why they let everybody off the plane like that. What they did, those flights that were connecting flights that were,

these people were just on time for it, they had already filled with the standbys. There was no way we were getting on that flight. It was already full. They already filled it with the standby. So by the time we got there, even if we got, no, can't do it. You know, planes full have a nice day. So it was just easier for them to. No, gates closed, 10 minutes, they'd follow those other rules.

Those are the rules. You can go down, down the halls of the office is where the corporate is, and they'll give you a connecting flight. And I did happen to tweet about it, and they responded with, you know, the normal. We're so sorry. We know your business is important to us, and we hope that we can take care of you. And we are so sorry. Sorry does not flap the flap deck.

All right, Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Thank you for being here. Appreciate it. 888-90333. There's the phone number. And you can tweet me, Jeff E, MRA. This is the Blaze Radio Network.

This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Jeff Fisher. Welcome to it on the Blaze Radio Network. Sometime today. Might not be right away. But sometime today, we'll figure out what the deal is with the phones. So just dial 888-90-9-3-33. Get in line because we'll figure it out.

And when we do, we'll start the 60-second subbox. I'll do that next hour. Get your 60 seconds, go. We'll do that next hour. Maybe. Now, back to the TSA. You're right. I got a tweet.

The tweet is, ha, proof that a wife is actually a calming influence. Thank you at the real Mrs. Jeffie, which is my wife, for keeping D.F.MRA from doing something arrestable. There is no doubt about that. There's no question. I never said anything to the contrary. Well, I may have said something to the contrary, but now I'm not saying something to the contrary.

There's no doubt that is the case. Especially at that story in Phoenix, Arizona. I would have been probably arrested, no question, because I was ready to explode of this lady. So then when we went to the American Airlines little box there where they have people that help you catch other flights, I may have said some things to that particular person as we waited in line. And then I was told by my comic influence that I needed to go.

she was like I'll take care of it just walk just walk over there leave the kids here they'll sit right here just walk over there go you don't need to be saying anything

because I was like can I help you I don't know can you so anyway you know we finally got through it and we did get to spend

the day in Phoenix and God knows if you're stuck why not spend the day in Phoenix anyway that's the first time We took the kids. And look, my kids travel great. I was looking at this story not long ago that talked about the best way to let kids travel.

They talked about it might not be an iPad. No kidding. No kidding. How about, I don't know, maybe what could happen that would entertain your kids? What could happen? Oh, I know. Talk to them. It's okay.

They're traveling with you. Let them in on what's going on. And trust me, when you get upset, they know. But, oh, no, Dad's going to go off again. We just stand back here and watch. Dad's going to go off again. Because that's what's going to happen. So just let them in on it, seriously.

And then maybe, I don't know, let them watch a show and talk to them about it. There's an idea. Talking to your children, crazy. Now, for those of you that think the TSA is a big problem. And I really, you know, I, okay, let's set aside that the whole TSA, thing is a joke. Let's just put that over there for a second and know that you're stuck with the TSA. No question. It's there. No doubt about it. You're not going to get rid of it. You're just not. You're just not going to get rid of it. So, I mean, have, you know, people can say, well,

they haven't stopped anything at all. Well, maybe they have. You know what? Maybe they have. I got it. You know, I got it. Whatever. And they, you know, are they snapping pictures of you in the, in the radar machine, whatever. Who cares? Just get it. done. I have a knee replacement so it's easier for me to just go to the, I want to go in there. I have a knee replacement. All right, get out of here. Because if I go through the metal detector, then it's, you know, then it's, they have to wand me and give me the extra probes and it's just easier to go through the machine. However, the TSA now is saying they're willing to pay $15,000 for best ideas to help shorten the

airport lines. TSA, 15 grand to help shorten TSA lines. You have until August 15th. And there are it says here there are currently 1,638 active solvers angling for the prize. The TSA is guaranteeing that at least one award

will be granted. Now, what I would say to them, if I were entering this contest. And I'm willing to accept the $15,000 from the TSA. I will take the check. And I'll deal with the IRS later. How about, I don't know, we profile. How about that?

How about we profile? And we say we're profiling. Because I know that I've seen where you check, the little kid in the next line over, but it sure looks like someone who that could possibly be a terrorist that I think in my mind as a terrorist goes right through because we don't want to have the appearance of profiling. Well, how about, I don't know, we profile.

You can make the checkout to Jeff Fisher, F-I-S-H-E-R, Jeff Fisher, and I don't need the whole $15,000. I'm not greedy. Give, you know, half of it to somebody else that has an idea that needs to, I don't know, clean your shoes or something or whatever they think will help shorten the line. Jeff Fisher Show, Blaze Radio Network, 888-903-33. We'll see you on the other side of the dude. This is the Jeff Fisher Show, only on the Blaze Radio Network. Experiment was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program. Now.

It's stable. It's alive. Set it loose. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome to it. How in the world are you? You look great. No, seriously.

You look fantastic. Anybody tell you different. It's okay. You got shorts on. That t-shirt looks great on you. I know it's your favorite shirt. Just drink your coffee. Relax.

Take it easy. It's okay. Thanks for being here. I appreciate it on the Blaze Radio. network. You can tweet me, Jeffrey MRA, Facebook, Jeffrey Fisher, phone number 888-90333. For those of you, Facebook users, I know. Hold on. I got it over here. Hold on. I got to go back. I hope you aren't the ones that called 911 yesterday when Facebook went down. Come on. Come on. If Facebook goes down, it'll be okay. You'll be able to get through it. Seriously. But,

Facebook then so what everybody, Facebook was down yesterday around noon for, I don't know, an hour or so, whatever. So what do we do? We go to Twitter. Of course. We're going to go to social media, right? We're not just going to say, oh, well, maybe I'll get some work done. No, of course, no, we can't have that. We cannot have that.

So one tweet, which I thought was kind of funny, please use extreme caution when stalking the old-fashioned way until things get back up and running. Facebook. about the people were calling uh 9-1-1 which is hello that's not really what it's for not really what it's for so don't call the authorities when facebook is down it'll be okay take a breath take a breath and move on go back in about an hour you probably have to restart, reboot. You'd be all right. So it's back up and running, but people all over the world, all over the country, were way too concerned. My Facebook is down.

Now, you know there would have been a big problem if you'd go to Facebook and then say, oh, well, Facebook's down. We've got to tweet about it. And then Twitter's down. Oh, end of times. We could never have that. Welcome to the broadcast. This is the Jeff Fisher Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. You know, I don't know about you, but this time of the week that this broadcast happens, I am I'm tired of hearing I'm tired of hearing the powers

that be taught. I'm tired of it. We can talk about, you know, we can talk about the border. You can go to our, you know, YouTube slash the blaze channel, YouTube.com slash the blaze and see videos we've posted when Glenn was at the border. When Glenn was at the border,

I've got, you know, the great wall of Mexico video up to show you what I think we should do with the border. You can do all that. We can talk about Israel. You know, I mean, oh my gosh, so much is happening with that place. It's unbelievable. I mean, Benjamin Netanyahu is now saying, I mean, the headline the headline is, don't second guess me again. And that is to our administration. He's a little upset with John Kerry and President Barack Obama. Get out of here. I mean, he said, he said we've got an unwavering

belief in an unwavering belief in Israel, but you know, we're going to condemn you for shooting and killing those people. We know, we know a lot of rockets coming in, but we're going to condemn you. We're going to condemn you. Oh, by the way,

President Obama, Secretary of State, John Kerry, just a reminder day 124. of Taborisi in prison in Mexico for making a wrong turn. How about we condemn Mexico for that? I haven't heard any of that. Haven't heard that, sir.

Don't forget it's hurricane season. Bertha's out there in the Atlantic. We can talk about that. Or, you know, we could, you know, I don't want to hear any. I don't really, I mean, I've got audio of a couple people talking this week. I've got Representative Massey talking about the 28 pages missing on the 9-11 report. And he talked to Glenn on the TV show. You know, you can go to glenbeck.com or the blaze.com and read that story and see him talk.

And, you know, yes, you know, will our lives change? Yes. You know, will, is it upsetting, I guess? They all say, well, is there anything that can be said to us now? Now, think about what's changed since 9-11. Since the horrible day of 9-11. Is there anything that we could learn? that would shock us.

I don't think so. We might say, oh, man, that's terrible. We should have known that. And we might say, oh, my gosh, this is wrong, and somebody should be fired, somebody should be go to jail, somebody should resign. What would be shocked?

If nothing, that doesn't happen, what would be shocked, we'll be upset. I don't think so. I don't think so. I mean, we can talk about the 58% on the Fox poll that we talked about earlier this week that said Obama administration incompetent at managing government.

Yeah, we know that. We see it every day. What are you doing about it? What is our leaders doing about that? Chuck Todd, people are fatigued with Obama. Really? That's why he was on the air yesterday for 18 hours telling us what he thought

and how things are great and how he's doing it all himself and making fun of them suing him for doing it on his own and making fun of all that. but we're fatigued with them. Yeah, you're damn right we are. But what does it matter? Madeline Albright, the world is a mess.

You think the great Uniter? The Great Uniter has got the world a mess. You think so? Madeline. Weekly Standard talking about the Americans really wish they'd elected Mitt Romney. Really? Welcome to the party. Twice as many Americans hurt by Obamacare than helped.

Do you think? Really? Do you think? You think everything this guy touches isn't a disaster, and he doesn't know it? Please. He golfs every weekend, at least once a weekend, and Dick's sporting goods is cutting 400 jobs as golf declines. That's their headline. He can't even help that. You'd think with him golfing every day, people would start golfing more.

No. China's buying up the golf courses. I wonder why they're doing that. How much land is golf course? Oh my gosh, land is a whole bunch of land. Chinese businesses buying up golf courses. And Dick's sporting goods laying off people because golf is declining. Their golf departments are getting smaller because nobody's playing golf.

Yet our leader is playing golf. Yes, he is. More than ever. Amazing. You think that, you know, we saw the chart earlier this week that talked about how other countries view the United States favorable or un favorable? Do you think that maybe the world is dying for the United States to be the leader that it was in the past? Do you think that might be?

Or do you think that they are happy about us just being the apologetic? Everybody is wonderful and nobody is special. And the United States is just, hey, we're just the United States. United States, no borders, and we'll have the rest of the world saying, you should let everybody in from other countries or we're going to think that you're bad. Really? Really? Is that right? You're not going to think the countries that those people are coming from are bad, but you're just thinking that we're bad because we're not taking them. Yeah. Okay. Okay, I just wonder what you're thinking about. Because, you know, we got Egypt, 86% on favor.

view of the United States. Jordan, 85%, Turkey, 73%, Russia, 71%. Palestinian territories. Is there a Palestinian territory? I guess so. 66%, Greece, 63%, Pakistan, 59%, Lebanon, 57%, Tunisia 47%, Tunisia 47%, Germany, 40%, Germany. Germany, Germany is 51% favorable. Really, Germany? Really? Okay. If you don't think that the world is looking for us to be the leaders that we were in the past, look at that. Of course they are.

They have no feeling. They hate us. They hate us because we're sorry. We're not going to lead you. You guys are great. And we think that we should do all that. And we're not, hey, no, not us. Nope, don't look at us. We're just going to be. say we're sorry and say that you guys shouldn't do that. But we're going to do this over here. We're not exceptional. We're not special. And you know what? And you guys are special, but not really either. They're not dying for us to be the leader of the world.

Please. Christians are getting, sorry. I'll stop then. I'll stop. Let's talk about color changing ice cream. Yes. Color changing ice cream. America is great.

America is... Oh, wait. Oh, wait. This is Spanish. Spanish professor. Ah, not America. Darn it. Making ice cream change colors as you lick it.

Huh? It better not change the flavor. I'll tell you that. This is Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Here we go. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. It is.

It is. the Jeff Fisher show. Welcome to it on the Blaze Radio Network. Yeah, baby. 888-90-3333 is the phone number. Let's see if they work, because I really want to try. I want to give you a shot at doing your soapbox. If they don't work, then, you know, oh, well, we'll figure it out and we'll get you your 60-second, the 60-second soapbox on the next broadcast. So let's see if they work.

We have James in Alabama. Hello, Jazz. Can you hear me? I can. Can you hear me? All right. Yes, I can. They finally got it.

Oh, my gosh. Technology is a beautiful thing. Thank you, Aaron. All right. So go ahead, sir. The big leagues, Jesse. You finally got your own show. This is the Blaze Radio Network.

Is it the Big League's really? Okay. Yes, it's. Thank you. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. What else? What's happening, sir?

Well, there's something that you seem to have forgotten with your show. Oh, boy. Every other show on the Blaze for all of us on Twitter has a hashtag that we can tweet to during the show. You don't have your hashtag yet. No, I don't. I don't have darn the lock. You need to come up with a hashtag.

Okay. I'll see if we can think of one. I mean, have you got one in mind, or are you just thinking I should come up with what? I have no idea. Don't ask me to do that. All right. Thank you very much.

I appreciate it. He's right, though. I probably should follow a long suit. I hate being just the, you know, like sheep. If every other show has a hashtag, I mean, maybe I don't want one. No, possible, I guess. I mean, we could hashtag, you know, don't suck. Hashtag, I don't know.

I don't know. 88893033. We'll figure it out. Hashtag 60 second soapbox. Hashtag 6.0 SEC soapbox. How about that? And you can do that by dialing 888 99033. 33, 93, and I'll give you a shot.

You get 60 seconds to, to, well, I guess you could be happy about things. I'd be happy about that. Or you could call and say, I'm upset about something and go. Yes, you could do that. We could talk about, we could talk about sports, or we could talk about movies.

I kind of, I went to see a movie the other night. We had a free, it opens on August 22nd. we're able to see a preview. It's stand, when the game stands tall, when the game stands tall. It opens up on August 22nd. It's actually really good, really good.

It is a football movie. Sorry to disappoint you. But it isn't the average football movie. It's talking about the high school team in California that had the longest winning streak ever and then lost. finally lost, and how they struggled through the losses and other struggles, life struggles, and the coach and the surrounding issues.

So it isn't just about football, although it is about football. And it's actually done very well. It's Sony pictures. It's Affirm Films. And if you have a chance to see it, see it, it will be a lot. For those of you that think that, even for those of you that think that, hey, sports isn't everything. Why does everybody love sports? It's how come we have to watch sports?

Everybody talks about sports because, you know what, sports is life. And think about this for just a second. I mean, the NFL camps are underway. College football is getting underway. It is darn near football season. And I'm excited. Although one of the weird things about this year is that, you know, my oldest son played college in the NFL,

and he's not playing this year. Apparently he's tired of getting hurt. Yeah, right, whatever. but I got I mean I got no special team to root for I just have to sit back and enjoy the game I don't have to you know I'm not worried about

I'm not worried about him getting hurt I'm not worried about watching him play I'm not worried about the team that he's playing on I can sit back and just enjoy some football oh yeah so I'm looking forward to that that'll be fun and you know we had some there's sports stories all the time

I mean, we have sports stories all the time. And we'll do those on the show. I mean, I'm a huge sports fan, so we'll get to sports. Don't worry about it. We will. But we have the box office this weekend. And with some of the big movies, you know, plus speaking of sports, though, tonight is the big Hall of Fame induction ceremony for, I mean, Derek Brooks from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Ray Guy, the punter from Oakland. Hello. Oh, my gosh, Ray Guy. You can punt from state to state. Best punter in NFL history. And Derek Brooks, I mean, We used to interview Derek when I was on the air in Tampa since, you know, obviously Tampa Bay Buccaneer.

The Buccaneers, one of the stations in our cluster was, you know, aired the buck. So we had access to the Buccaneers. And Derek was our guy that we would talk to every Monday or, you know, Sunday night, whenever their games were. But my favorite, Derek would answer, the day after the game when he was beat up and the football was over, he'd remind you, you, he'd call it. We'd call the house and it would ring and ring and ring. They finally pick up.

This is Derek. He's just dead. Hey, Derek, how you doing, man? Jeff, is there? Hey, Joe. All right, we're going to go on the air. We're going to talk a little football. You guys did great yesterday.

You ready to go? Uh-huh. I mean, Derek was a fireball. And I have a feeling that there are a number of Venable players like that, including my son. Because, you know, after a game, and you talk to them. Right after the game, they're still pumped.

Everything's still surging, racing, the blood's pumping, the heart's going. Everybody's fired up, and you're still going, hey, what's going on? How's the game? It's great. We play good. Yeah, yeah. We play bad. We got to do better.

The next day, this is Derek. Hey, how's it going? Yeah, all right, go ahead. So congratulations to Derek Brooks and Ray Guy. And there's a few other players going into the NFL Hall of Fame tonight as well. So, you know, that's kind of excited. I may miss it. Because the killing final season just went up yesterday on Netflix.

I may have to do a little binge watch of the killing this afternoon. I'm kind of excited about that. Netflix, I love you. I love, I mean, Netflix, what a, I love you, but it's really changed the way people view. There's got to be studies out there somewhere that talk about the binge viewing. I did see one that talked about the binge viewing, not good for you. I don't believe that is true.

I believe that's great for you. Why not? Why wouldn't it be good to just get in there and get it done? That's tremendous. And you watch it until you just can't take it anymore. You stop, you walk away, and you can walk away for a day or so. But they've changed, I mean, Netflix, I love you. What a tremendous change of a way to do things.

Get in there and boom. Watch them all be done. The only thing is with that, if there's another season coming up, she watched all the seasons then it's like okay when is the next season because I don't really want to wait

eight months for the next show you have to you just watch the whole season again but you just got done watching okay I will 888 933 the Jeff Fisher Show

The Blaze Radio Network The Jeff Fisher Show returns on the Blaze Radio Network It does welcome to it. How are you? I told you you look great already, didn't I? I mean, I know you can't hear enough, but you look great. So, have you been to a zoo lately? I was really, I'm looking at this. Not long ago, we went to the zoo here in Dallas Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Zoo, and it's nice. I mean, the zoo's a zoo, right? Well, I think we've got tigers and white tigers and yellow

tigers and, you know, tigers coming out of the tiger wazus. But, You can't get to them. You see them. I mean, there's like a huge water river between you and there's a fence and they're over there. And you can't. No, you're looking at them. You can't get into them. In Brazil, apparently, if you get lifted up over the barrier, you're right there.

Because some father who wanted to take a picture of his kid with the tiger lifts his kid up over the barrier. Go up and pet it. Pet it. I'll take a picture. Uh, no. The tiger apparently was a little unhappy about that. Uh, according to the zookeepers, though, uh, before the tiger ripped the kid's arm off. Uh, his name is who?

Ha ha ha ha. Oh, that's a good name for a tiger. Who? He's one of the sweetest at the zoo. Is he? Is he? Okay. who is he is no who no never mind

so first of all father I mean I get yelled at so much for being the father of the year I would I would not do this I would do that because I am the farthest thing from the father of the year there's no question I told you that I mean you'd get an example of that of me at the airport I'm like can I help you I don't know can you

my kids are like oh boy mom can you make dad stop please So, I mean, I get it. I get it. I'm not the father of the year. I got it. But I wouldn't. Go up and pet the tiger.

I'm going to lift you up over the barrier, and we're going to take your picture. Ready? Okay, when I tell you, put your hand in the cage and pet the tiger, he won't think your arm is there to give him food or anything because he's a stupid tiger. Just pet him and we'll take a picture of it. Okay?

Oh, stupid, stupid, stupid. 888, 93393 is the phone number. If you want to get something off your chest, I'll give you the 60-second soapbox. Better be good, though. Danny and Florida, you are on the Blaze Radio Network. How are you, sir? Jeffrey, good morning. Good morning.

Congratulations on the new show. Thank you. Thank you. How are you? It's good to hear you on the radio again. It's very good to be back on the air again. Very good. How's life in Florida? Oh, doing great. It's a nice morning here. I miss Florida.

Yeah. Florida. I miss Florida so much. This Dallas-Fort Worth area is really nice, and it's hot and it's warm, and it's like Florida, but there's no ocean. Yeah. I miss the ocean. Definitely miss that, I'm sure. I do. I was just thinking about your time in Tampa here, and I remember eating you and old

You were supposed to introduce, you're supposed to warm up the crowd for one of Glenn's movie events. And I remember your old show used to be called Fisher Files. And somebody yelled out, we love Fisher Files. And you said, thanks, it's canceled. I appreciate you bringing that up. Thank you. Thanks for the call. Appreciate it.

Good to hear from you. I don't miss Florida. Come to think of it. I don't know what I was saying. No idea what I was saying. 888-90-0-33-93. Kenny, you are on the broadcast. How are you, sir?

Good morning, Mr. Fisher. Hey, how are you? You ask for the soapbox, but I want to take the first 20 seconds and ask, have you elevated yourself to now that you're Jeff Fisher? Are you still Jeff into the working man? Well, the show is the Jeff Fisher show. I mean, that's my name. Yeah, your name, but we all know you, but we all know you.

I know. I know. I've been called Jeffrey for a million years. So it's still, Jeffrey, that's fine. Okay. Absolutely. Listen, I am not above the working man because that's me. Well, you are. You're behind the scene.

They give you heck on the Green Show and all that. I am the plumber in this place. I am the plumber on this place. It's okay. Jeffie's fine. Okay, Mr. Jeffey. My deal is that I'm tired, sick and tired, of actually hearing other stations

and even some of the people you all have on y'all stations and stuff talk about how Obama is incompetent. The more I've said back and watch over the last six years, Obama is the most confident president I've ever seen. So the simple fact,

he is actually completing every part of his agenda of destroying America. Everything he wants to do, he blames everybody else and he's still getting what he wants. He's ringing down our economy. He wants to bring America down to the rest of the world standards

instead of trying to bring the rest of the world up to American standards. And, you know, when is everybody going to start calling him on all of his lives? Y'all do, but I don't hear anything else. Every now and then I try to get into the other stations and listen to the other networks and try to see if they're actually saying it. nobody else except the blaze is speaking the truth. That's your 60 seconds, baby. The 60 seconds subbox,

and I don't have an answer for you, but you are absolutely right on him being competent. It's not a mistake. It's not a mistake. He's doing what he wants to do. He's laying his groundwork. Thank you.

I appreciate it very much. Thanks for listening, and I appreciate you being a part of the Blaze. and Jeffrey is fine, no problem. He is absolutely, Kenney is absolutely right. There's no question about it. When, you know, when we call him incompetent, it really is just a slam because he's not.

He's not. The days of thinking that he's incompetent should be over. But at least we are getting more people now who are coming to the incompetent stage. So maybe in another eight years you know

we'll get past that and they'll realize that he's not incompetent and he's doing what he wants to do and getting his agenda done because Barack knows we've got to change our history. Change our plan. Change, change, change. And it's so I hope.

I hope and pray. You can say, little prayer with you right now that Iraq only, only stays in office because I sure would, couldn't foresee anything happening in this country that would make it impossible to have another presidential election. I could not foresee something like that happening ever. I could not foresee anything happened in this country that would make that happen. I couldn't foresee cities saying we've got to do something. The federal government has got to do something.

The money they're giving us isn't enough. They've got to do something. Please come in and make this city safe. And it would only just be a city. That's all. It's just a city. We'll just let the government run it. We'll bring in the, we'll bring in our own little military.

We'll close it off. And you can come in and go as, you know, we'll let you in. We've got to check you out. You know, TSA in and out of the city. But it's just for that city to make it safe. That's all. Just for one city. Don't worry about it.

Maybe two cities. Maybe we'll do this city over here too, just because it's so dangerous. We want to keep you safe. That's all? Couldn't foresee that happening at all. Boy, that was just couldn't happen,

could it? Nope. 888-90-3033. Jeff Fisher Show, Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. It is welcome to it. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today.

I appreciate it. It's coming up immediately, immediately after this broadcast, is Michael Pelka with his pure Opelka. And then Will King and S.E. C.C. Cub, grab onto the Blaze Radio Network microphone and then right into Chris Salsito, Mike Slater, Joe Pags. Then tomorrow you've got David Barton starting at 10 a.m. Bill Handel on the Law, Gun Talk, Hollywood 360.

My gosh. My gosh. Not only do we have weekdays covered on the Blaze Radio Network. Now we have the weekend. I mean, there's no, you need not go anywhere else. But The Blaze slash radio, theblaze.com. The Blaze Radio Network. Hello.

We are here for you. I want to go on record as saying, I shop at Walmart. I love Walmart. I'm a fan of Walmart. I am, in fact, a member of Sam's Club. Yes, I pay the money to go in there and shop. Sad. I will say, I frown upon the self-checkout at Sam's.

I believe, hello, Sam's Club. I'm paying you to come and shop at your store. How about you provide a cashier? It's all I'm saying, I'm not going to check out myself. I'm already paying you to come inside your store. But that having been said, I love Walmart. However, this new thing that they're doing here, kind of not sure I like it.

Jim Davis went into the store and he wanted to buy two six packs of Budweiser and some Smearnoff. I guess he drinks beer. The wife drinks some Smeiernaff. That's a good day at the Davis house. However, when he went to this Walmart in Ames, Iowa, with $80 with the groceries and the alcohol the clerk

carted his daughter that was with him because she had no ID I'm not going to sell I'm not going to sell to you what so apparently now he claimed you know he was humiliated by the women's acting

you aren't humiliated you were pissed nobody gets humiliated humiliated stop it but people were looking at me funny No, no, you were just upset. He isn't the only one complaining. Plenty of people upset at Walmart at their attempted screening booze purchasers. Now, according to Walmart, it's part of their recent efforts to experiment with new ways to thwart underage drinking.

Stores' customer service department told Davis, the store has made a policy since 2003, requiring ID from all customers who appear under the age of 40. Yes, and he had his identification. The girl wasn't purchasing anything. That's unbelievable. Now, I know that they're trying to, you know, make sure that alcoholic beverages and tobacco aren't sold to minors.

Okay, the clerk wasn't selling it to the minor. The clerk was selling it to an overage adult. Now, many people are asking the question, hey, if Walmart's so upset about selling underage drinking, Underage drinking and underage smoking, maybe they should just stop selling the product. Ooh, it's a tough call. Might knock out some of those billions the Walton's have. Can't do that.

Dude, you've got to sell that. We're just going to cart a few people. And we'll say we're sorry to the people that get mad. We'll move on. Now, this is kind of a surprise. In this story, he says, I called Walmart's media department to ask why the company doesn't just stop selling the stuff. but they haven't returned his calls in two weeks. Now, either he's becoming a pain and they're like, oh, my God.

Davis is on line three. Don't pick up. Jim Davis is calling again. Don't pick it up, which I doubt. I doubt that happens. But he claims that they look back. They've spent over $3,000 at the Supercenter. They're not shopping there anymore.

I hope that's true. I hope you stick to your gun. I hope you stop shopping there. Because there's a number of places that I've said, we're not shopping there anymore and I won't. I will not. I will walk past that place to shop at those places.

So I hope you stick to your guns, Jim. Walmart will feel it if people start doing that. We haven't talked about Jesse Ventura either. Do I want, no, I don't want to talk about him. Forget him. He's a douche. He is in the Pat and Stu Dush Hall of Fame. He has been, we have a new award called the Dush Nozzle.

He has been elected to that. He's been voted into that. So he is the douche nozzle of the Duce Hall of Fame now. And he's well deserving of Jesse Ventura. And I hope everything works out just the way I want for him. Plenty of news on children. A lot of people are mad at children. There's a restaurant in California that posted a sign.

No strollers, no high chairs, no booster chairs. People are all upset about that. Children crying, making loud noises, are a distraction to other diners and as such are not allowed in the dining room. Okay. Don't go there. Isn't that the argument we have with smoking? Isn't that the argument we have with dress code?

If you have your kids with you, don't go there. You know if you want to go to this restaurant, don't bring your kids. Leave them home with the new robot. Yes, the feds are spending millions of dollars on a robot that's going to help your kid. Be more. Let's see what it's going to be. If you have a robot at your house for your kid, you're going to get better behavior. You're going to get a better eating habits.

It's going to be all good. The robot is going to be your children's personal trainer. It'll be great. There'll be a great world then. Thank you so much for being here today. I appreciate it. We'll see you next week. You can obviously download it on the podcast anytime during the week.

I ask you to do that. Don't forget Michael Pelka coming up. Great lineup, Cana, Cain and Cup, Chris, Mike, Joe Pags. Stay right here on the Blaze Radio Network. And we'll see you back on the Glenbeck. program Monday, 9 o'clock Eastern. Thank you so much. See you later on the Blaze Radio Network.

Don't go anywhere. Don't turn it off. Don't turn it off. Stop it. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
