Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the Blaze Radio on demand. This is what we've long feared and awaited from Hussein, Hussein, which is the federalization of essentially an army under his control, the control through the Department of Justice, which is Obama's domestic army. Jay Severin, weekdays, 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern on the Blaze Radio Network. The experiment was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program. Now. Stand clear signs stable. It's alive.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Set it loose. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome. Hi. Good to see you. Well, I mean that. I do. I mean that.
Starting point is 00:01:15 A little bit since we've been together. I've missed you. I know. You really haven't missed me that much. It's okay. I missed you. That's what counts. All right.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I want to thank, you know, we had the big Memorial Day special on the Blaze Radio Network. You got to experience that. And then I want to thank Brad Staggs. for filling in for me when we were on vacation. He was great. Wasn't he? Yes, he was. And then, you know, I have to say happy birthday to my daughter.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Eight years old. He's turned eight this week. Having a little party today. There's like eight million cupcakes at my house. I'm going to be grilling today. and it's all for the little eight-year-old birthday party excited, can't wait.
Starting point is 00:02:14 It's going to be fun. I hope there's at least, at least 10, maybe more. Other little kids running around, going crazy, hurts and crafts,
Starting point is 00:02:31 running around, kicking stuff all over the house. Oh, it's going to be fun. It's going to be fun. going to be fun. Anyway, happy birthday. Now, the first thing I was told when I sat down, I got to, we've jam-packed today here on the Blaze Radio Network and the Jeff Fisher show. My gosh, there's so much, so much news we can talk about and so much news that I just can't talk about. Not because it's not, not because it's not interesting, not because we shouldn't talk about it. It's just that I can't.
Starting point is 00:03:10 I can't. We've beat some of these stories to death all over the country every day, Monday through Friday. I just, I can't. You can call 888-903-33-8-88-903-33. And, you know, try to get you on if you want to talk about some of the day-to-day stuff. You can tweet me at Jeffrey MRA. You can Facebook me, Jeffrey Fisher. You can do all of that and we'll discuss it.
Starting point is 00:03:43 But here today, we've got bigger issues. Bigger pieces of the meat to fry. Okay? Like, are you suffering from recall fatigue? Actually, this is important. Recall fatigue. People have had it with automotive recalls. And you really should get it taken care of.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I know that. If you have a car that has an issue that has a recall, you should get it taken care of. But more people than ever are not taking care of it because every time you turn around, there's a recall. For instance, I had a recall. I got the first letter, I think, in September of 2014. Oh, that would be last year, wouldn't it? Yes, it would. and I thought, okay, I'll take care of it.
Starting point is 00:04:43 And then, you know, you stick the recall paper in your briefcase and you don't do anything about it. And then, you know, a couple months ago, I thought, oh, my gosh, I got that recall. And I'm cleaning out my briefcase. And oh, yeah, I got to take care of that. So I'm going to take care of it. So the paper. And not soon after I thought, oh, man, I got to take care of that. I got a little flyer in the mail saying, hey, idiot, schedule your appointment.
Starting point is 00:05:08 you've got a recall in your car. Get it fixed. And I thought, okay, that's a good idea. So I called the dealership that they have on the little flyer. And I left a voicemail. No one called me back. I waited. No one called me back.
Starting point is 00:05:32 So I called the dealership again. And I told the lady, wait, don't send me over to auto repair. The last time it went to voicemail, no one called me back. Really? Okay, well, I'll just walk this note over and I'll make sure I hand it to someone there personally.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Thank you. No one has called me. Now, this adds to automotive recall fatigue. Because pretty soon I'm just going to say, you know what? No. And if something bad happens because the recall wasn't fixed,
Starting point is 00:06:09 I'm going to sue you. No. Well, you never know. But what brought this on is the Takata recall. Realize that over 53 million cars have been recalled worldwide because of the Takata airbag. It is, and this is something that you should not have fatigue over, you need to get this fixed, especially if you live in states that have high humidity and get really hot, like, oh, I don't know, Texas, Florida, you know, the U.S. South, Southwest, Southeast.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Yeah, you know, it's places like that. It's amazing. So what happens? You think, oh, an airbag. Whatever, it's not going to go off. I'm going to be in an accident. Now, some of the higher end, I mean, they talk about BMW, Fiat, Ford Motor, Honda, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Honda, they all.
Starting point is 00:07:14 This company, Takata, is furnishing airbags for this company. Huge company. Now, what happens is that it gets really hot in the cars and humid, and the airbag just explodes. Yeah, it doesn't just shoot out, it explodes. and we've actually had some deaths because of it. And one case in Orlando in particular, they were so convinced that the injuries were from a stabbing, they started an investigation, and in fact, well, I mean, they had a person of interest.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Who doesn't have someone that wants to, you know, stab them to death, really? If you don't, are you living? but they got a person of interest out of it because the person looked so bad. So these people are looking horrible. Now there's been, I forget how many deaths, but it's almost like a bomb went off. There's metal shrapnel from the airbags just explode.
Starting point is 00:08:28 So if you have a recaller think you may have, a Takata airbag recall, you may want to get that fixed. And they even say, in their article, the cause really is unclear. Really? Huh. But we think it might have something to do with the high humidity areas.
Starting point is 00:08:52 We're not real sure, but this is where we've had, you know, the most damage. So we're thinking that that might be the cause. Hey, how about the recall ones that you're going to replace the airbags? Are those good to go? Well, we think they are. We think the ones we're going to replace. it with are good, but you never know. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Thank you, Takata. We appreciate it. It means a lot to us that you care. Okay? So if you are suffering from recall fatigue, go ahead and suffer on some other things, but don't suffer, whatever you do, on recall fatigue for the airbags. Okay, just a little safety tip from the Jeff Fisher show on the Blaze Radio Network. Now, we're all back this weekend, live, strong, full power up.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Right after this broadcast, you have Mike O'Pelca, the Pure O'Pelka. Then you have America WK with Andrew WK. Then you have Chris Salcedo. Then you have Mike Slater. Oh, my gosh. Then you have Joe Pags. I mean, today alone, no need to go. anywhere else, let alone the rest of the week, and I'll tell you more about that as the program
Starting point is 00:10:14 progresses. And hopefully, I don't know this to be true, but I got a rumor, I heard a rumor, that it's possible that you're listening to Pure Opelka today, he may be giving away the show sweatband series, where, you know, one wrist, Sweat band says Pure. The other wrist band says Opelka. And the headband says stunt brain. I don't know. That's the rumor I heard.
Starting point is 00:10:53 So it's possible that you could win that. And boy, wouldn't you like to sport that. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to it. 888903.33 is the phone number. If you'd like to participate and you can tweet me at Jeffie MRA on Twitter. You know, first of all, we're going to talk food here.
Starting point is 00:11:53 I know. I know it's a surprise. Calm down. But I just want to talk a little food. There's a lot of food stories, a lot of food news that you should know about. One is the egg shortage. amazing that we've already started to kind of ration eggs. A grocery chain in Texas put a limit of three cartons of eggs per customer already
Starting point is 00:12:17 because of the avion flu and the supply of egg supply is down. So beware for that. That may happen on a bigger scale across the country. know, but eggs, the incredible edible egg in America, okay? So be ready for that. And be ready also for, oh, I don't know, the prices to go up. And then we had a story yesterday of a train that hit a semi with 70,000 pounds of bacon. The first story, the first story.
Starting point is 00:13:06 The first story that I read, and I may have even tweeted it, said, Train hits truck with 70,000 tons of bacon. And I'm thinking 70,000 tons. Is that even real? But the story on the blaze corrects that with 70,000 pounds of bacon. However, be ready for bacon prices to go up. Maybe not from just one truckload. But I wouldn't be surprised.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Would you? I don't think so. Now, according to psychologists, you shouldn't blame yourself for binge eating. Okay? They're real. It's a conviction of negative urgency. It might be the single largest. predicate of who isn't prone to binge eating.
Starting point is 00:14:18 So if you are negative urgency, negative urgency, stop it. It's your fault for binge eating, okay? Look, I lost a lot of weight, thanks to take shape for life and simple to lose. And then, you know, I still was on the program and I still am. I still consider myself part of it's a lifestyle change. But if you don't focus on what you eat, exercise, what happens? Oh, that's right. You gain weight.
Starting point is 00:15:04 It's an amazing thing. And some people struggle more than others and have struggled more than others. Now, for the first time, consumers are spending more money at restaurants than on groceries in America. Did you know that? Are you one of those people? Data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows the U.S. consumer spending on restaurants took over the groceries for the first time at the end of 2014. Amazing. Just by a little bit.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Just by, you know, 0.2. 50.4 billion and there's 50.2 on groceries. So almost even. But still in the lead were the restaurants. That's pretty fast. That's pretty amazing. And you look at all the restaurants around,
Starting point is 00:16:03 you think about how many times, and I read that and I thought, well, that can't be true, can it? And then you think, well, maybe it is. Maybe it is because, I mean, do people take their lunch with them anymore. Really? The majority of people take a lunchbox, sit down and have their little sandwich and cooler and chips in their little lunchbox, brown bag in it. Rare that you see that anymore, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:16:35 Why? Because food is so readily available outside of your home. I love this line in the story. Well, at first, preceding this line, it says, in addition, 42% of all shoppers bought groceries at warehouse and club stores, a percent that rose slightly, 43% for millennials and 45% for generation X shoppers. Then, finding the best prices on items regularly purchased as a top driver in why consumers select where to buy groceries, which could potentially give big box stores an edge, as they tend to have lower prices. Really?
Starting point is 00:17:19 Thank you for that. We appreciate it. Now, for those of you that are going out, for those of you that are going out and think, I know, I'll just go to the grocery store. Instead of going to the grocery store, I'll just go to the restaurant. Well, you could get the 1,570 calorie steak and shake
Starting point is 00:17:43 7 by 7 steak burger and fries and a chocolate fudge, brownie milkshake. Oh, I could probably do more calories than that. steak and shake. But this article is giving us the nine most calorie-filled restaurant servings. Well, that's pretty good. But I think I could beat that at steak and shake. The Cheesecake Factory, Warm Apple Crisp, only 1,740 calories.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Looks good, too. And you have the IHop Fiesta Omelet. 1,990 calories. Wow. The Sonic, look this, a sonic shake, the Sonic pineapple upside down master blast. 2,020 calories. That's pretty good. It's just a vanilla shake with some pineapple, right?
Starting point is 00:18:45 Well, yes, plus salted caramel, pie crust pieces and whipped cream in a 32-ounce cup. In addition to crossing the 2,000 calorie line, you'll get three full days of saturated fat, 61 grams, more than four days of trans fats from the pie crust, and around 29 teaspoons of added sugar. Well, I mean, if you're stopping at Sonic for the pineapple upside-down master blast, do you really care about the three full days of saturated fat? I think not. I think not. for 2,370 calories.
Starting point is 00:19:23 We're back at the cheesecake factory for the Louisiana chicken pasta. I like the cheesecake factory too. And that dish looks really, really good. Then you have the Outback Steakhouse, the herb roasted prime rib, 2,400 calories. But they show a salad along with your prime rib and a baked potato. And, of course, is the one small loaf of bread that Outback gives you. I don't think you're going to do that. And then, of course, you have the Red Lobster, create your own combination, 2,710 calories.
Starting point is 00:19:57 But Red Lobster, a little mad at this study, saying, hey, hey, hey, this was dishonest when they neglected to reference other possible combinations. Yeah, and I'm sure so many people do all those other combinations, don't they? Right. The Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show returns on the Blaze Radio Network. So, have you ever been to New York City? You know, coming up in a little bit on the broadcast,
Starting point is 00:21:03 I was going to do a crime segment. And, I mean, there's plenty of crime to talk about. And some fascinating, some fascinating attempts at what could be considered huge criminal activity. And then I look up. Two stories that I'm looking at the Marco Rubio story that was printed yesterday as the New York Times talks about his 17 tickets. And his wife has got tickets and he's got tickets. He's never lost his license, but he's paid off and paid the fine and done this. Really, New York Times?
Starting point is 00:21:45 Is that the best you got? Is that all you could find? Michael Rubio and his wife have driving violations? Oh, no. The horror. He's never lost his license. He's paid the fines. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:11 That's what people do. That's why municipalities have police officers to write tickets so they can make money through roadway violations. Oh, wait. I mean, the police are there for safety and to protect the community. And they do a great job. And I mean that. They do do a great job. However, there are many communities that go out of their way to write tickets.
Starting point is 00:22:40 I know of several in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex that do this. It's got to be a huge income for them because they do a lot of it. Now, some of them would say that maybe there's a lot of violators. Yes. Yes, I'll give you that. I'll give you that. However, some of the violations, maybe perhaps we have too many regulations.
Starting point is 00:23:14 What? There's a thought. So anyway, the horror of the Marco Rubio family crime spree of having driving violations is horrific. It's a horrific crime in itself. Then I look at my email, and I got an email from one of my show producers, Brandy. Talks about how Minnie Mouse and Hello Kitty arrested in Times Square brawl. Now, if you've ever been to New York or worked in New York, lived in New York, especially specifically Manhattan, and I have, and that's where our studios are in New York for the Blaze and Mercury Radio Arts and the Blaze Radio.
Starting point is 00:23:55 and the Blaze Radio Network. So, you know, obviously we were there before we came to Dallas. I was in and out of Manhattan every day. And they have people who dress up as the characters, some Disney, some Muppets, and they all wander around and people take pictures with them. And you never know who's in them or really or who's doing it. I mean, I always found that kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Kind of weird. But now they're there. People take the pictures, whatever. So apparently Minnie Mouse and Hello Kitty got into a big brawl in Times Square and got arrested. And man, do I wish I would have been there to see that. But what I was laughing about is Brandy sends the story telling me that she hates these A-holes. Last week, Homer Simpson tried, let's just say. Homer tried to touch her inappropriately.
Starting point is 00:25:06 I'm hurt. I'm hurt. I don't know what that says. I know what it says about me because Homer never tried to do that to me. It's kind of disappointing. But I love New York. Man, do I miss New York in Manhattan? You aren't kidding.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I miss them so much. More. We'll talk a little bit more on our crime. Crime segment, those are just two crime stories that kind of fascinate me now. And I know that you're going to, you may have missed former president Jimmy Carter. Speaking to the AARP bulletin during a recent interview, huh. Jimmy, you're getting some big interviews there.
Starting point is 00:25:59 AARP is good. Okay. The AARP Bulletin, and who doesn't get that? That Americans hold feelings of superiority toward minorities. Do they, Jimmy? Mr. Carter spoke on a range of subjects. I bet he did, including campaign spending and lobbyists, but he made a point to say that the U.S. still is lacking in terms of safeguarding civil rights.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Are they, Jimmy? Are they? The recent publicity about mistreatment of black people in the judicial and police realm has been a reminder that the dreams of the civil rights movement have not been realized. Many Americans still have racist tendencies or feelings of superiority to people of color. The former president added that the politics of the 70s changed in such a way that he would not even get the level Republican support he enjoyed as the 39th president. I would like to go back and see if he actually had that great level of support because times were really good when Jim was president. There was harmony among congressmen when I was there, and I got just as much support from Republicans as I did Democrats.
Starting point is 00:27:28 I can't imagine myself as a successful candidate today, Mr. Carter said, you know what? former president Jimmy Carter I can't imagine you as president today either okay me either can't do it
Starting point is 00:27:47 wish it didn't happen to begin with but it did and we did get a pretty good president after you because of you so I guess thanks are in order for that
Starting point is 00:28:04 But of course, we have a professor that wants all white people to give up their money. What do you think? You ready for that? Okay. Take the extra savings you have or money you have saving for a family trip to Disney and give it away, baby. That's right. White people, you've got too much money and you should be giving it all to black people. Okay?
Starting point is 00:28:42 Simple as that. Be ready for that. People need to personally give all their money to black people. That, my friends, will be hearing about that all next week. Lawrence Brown, Public Health Department of Morgan State University in Baltimore. He has been tweeting new rules for, what people need to do. And he believes that black suffer from historical trauma from white supremacist America.
Starting point is 00:29:27 My new criteria for white allies is going to be how much are you using your whiteness to literally eliminate the racial wealth gap? New rule. White allies should deposit their honored wealth in black accounts or jump between black people and police at every opportunity. Huh. Black people were giving away white ally ships for kids. too cheap for far too long, have you? So there you go. Be ready for that. He's preaching that.
Starting point is 00:29:58 I don't know that a lot of people are listening to that. However, however, be ready for that. I mean, it's no speeding down a highway and getting a ticket kind of crime. Because if you were to give your money to black people, that wouldn't be a crime. That would be good. And I'm sure that Jimmy Carter, our former president, would love
Starting point is 00:30:26 you for it. Don't you think? Oh! Of course he would. Here we go. This is the Jeff Fisher show on the Blaze Radio Network. Go on the Blaze Radio Network.
Starting point is 00:31:06 All right. From Twitter at George Carl, 1995. Sounds like Jeffrey MRA isn't concerned about the hashtag Rubio Crime Spree. Support ISIS to Mr. Fisher. First, let me say this. Anyone who breaks the law should be punished. As were the Rubios, they paid their fine. They broke the law.
Starting point is 00:31:34 They paid their fine. ISIS No, I'm not going to go there, never mind. You know, hashtag stop ISIS. Hashtag ISIS is bad. Plus, may I remind people that if Marco Rubio were to win the president, the presidency of the United States in 2016, he would have a driver. So would his wife. so you would feel safer on the roads because they wouldn't be driving.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Just saying. Okay? Just saying. All right. Charlie Charlie, have you heard of it? Are your kids hashtagging it? Do you know what it is? The Charlie Charlie Challenge.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Summon the demon. Do you know what it is? All right, you take a blank piece of paper and get yourself two pencils. Now, the picture. Pictures I've all seen have pencils that are not sharpened. Ooh, that's not, I've got two pencils. Oh, I've got two pencils here, but one is kind of sharpened. Darn it.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Might not work. So you put them in the, you put them as a, as a four squares, all right? You cross them. You cross the pencils. Boom, boom on the piece of paper. And in each square, you put yes, left to right. Yes, no. And then underneath at the bottom, no, yes.
Starting point is 00:33:13 and then you must repeat the words Charlie Charlie are you here Charles I've got to put my pencils on hold on turn this paper over this by Charlie Charlie papers
Starting point is 00:33:32 All right so here we go yes No and no yes I hope I don't summon the Charlie Charlie Demon on the show if things start happening in here, be prepared.
Starting point is 00:33:50 I may be summoning the Charlie, Charlie Demon. He's true to answer questions once he's here, though. He shows up, right? Okay, so I've got to repeat the words, and then if the pencil moves and points to yes, Charlie's in the house, and you can draw upon his demonic life experience and ask him for guidance in the form of yes or no. doesn't see how many times I have to repeat. Charlie, Charlie, are you here?
Starting point is 00:34:26 Charlie, Charlie, are you here? There's awful. There's a lot of prayers going on in this Mercury building, so Charlie's probably not going to show up here. I should have been doing this in New York. Charlie, Charlie, are you here? No, my pencils aren't moving. I won't be able to ask.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Oh, gosh, darn it. You never know what you can ask. Charlie Charlie But I'm kind of looking forward to asking Charlie some questions So just be prepared
Starting point is 00:35:11 That if your kids are Having two pencils and a piece of paper It's an ancient Mexican tradition Okay And once the demon Charlie shows up When the pencils start moving, you can ask any question you want, and Charlie will be there. However, let me say this. You ever played with a Ouija board before?
Starting point is 00:35:42 No? Well, I mean, I don't recommend it, but, you know, if you want to, that's fine. However, when you open the doors to kind of let that whole demon world come into your house, do you know how to close the door? Because once you summon Charlie, Charlie, are you here? And the demonic Mexican Charlie Charlie shows up to move the pencils to answer your questions. How do you get him to leave? You just say, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, no more?
Starting point is 00:36:26 Charlie, are you ready to go home yet? And what if the pencil goes to, no? How do you get rid of Charlie? I'm not ready to go yet Ask me another question Or prepare to pay Charlie we just wanted to know If we were going to make a lot of money
Starting point is 00:36:50 When we grow up Ask me to leave again And you won't grow up kid This is the Jeff Fisher show Only on the Blaze Radio Network. Experiment was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Now. Stand clear. Life signs 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?
Starting point is 00:37:55 So good to be with you. 8889033. Is the phone number if you're listening live. If you're one of the downloaders that listen to it at your leisure, don't worry about calling the number. 88890333 is the phone number. You can tweet me via Twitter anytime at Jeffrey MRA. Facebook, Jeffrey Fisher, anytime.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Don't forget Mike Opelka. Pure Opelka coming up right after this broadcast with the possibility I'm not 100%. I haven't verified this 100% but it is possible that you could win the Michael Pelka sweatband package today. You could have the one sweatband says pure. One sweat band says Opelka and the headband says stunt brain.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I haven't. I have not confirmed that 100%. I just heard a rumor about that. I just want to let you know that it's possible that you might win that. today if you were to listen to Michael Pelka and Pure Opelka immediately following this broadcast. Okay, this story has been kind of gnawn at me for a little while. It's been broke a week or so ago. And it just been gnaweree at me for quite a while.
Starting point is 00:39:25 I don't quite get it. I'm not sure what the outcome that's wanted. So a Muslim airline passenger says she faced humiliation and discrimination when a flight attendant refused to give her an unopened can of diet coat, claiming that the passengers could use on open beverage cans as weapons. Okay, we'll stop there for just a second. I have flown quite a bit across America. globally. I really don't remember a time when a airline flight attendant would give you a soda unopened
Starting point is 00:40:12 or drinking, any kind of beverage unopened. Normally they give you a glass of soda. Sometimes they have Coke zero, and sometimes I joke around with them. They don't have Coke zero. They have, oh, I don't know, Diet Coke with no zero. And so, you know, I always want to ask for an extra glass of ice. And when I do that, they usually give me the can. They pour it in a glass, but they give me what's left in the can.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Some people, they don't do that. They pour the, you get the, it's free. They provide it. Well, it's not free. I paid $8 million for the ticket. But they provide it without extra cost. And they give me the unopened can. I don't remember a time when I've ever seen them give tomato,
Starting point is 00:40:59 drank V8, drink, beer, any of it closed, unopened. I just don't. And they open it in front of you, usually. And you could ask for that, right? Okay. Now, and the answer, the unopened can beverage as a weapon, you know, maybe. Okay, I buy it. In today's world, I buy it.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Makes sense. It does make sense, right? Okay. Now, United Airlines claims that it was just a misunderstanding. Now, Tehera Ahmed, a Muslim from Northwestern University in Illinois, wrote on Facebook, from the Chicago to Washington flight, tagging her post, hashtag, which is kind of strange on Facebook, but I'll go, I'll let you go. I'll let it go with that.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Islamophobia, and then in capital letters, Israel. She asked for a Diet Coke. The flight attendant gave her an open can. But for hygienic reasons, Ahmed asked for a can that had not yet been opened. She said no one is consumed from the drink. But I requested an unopened can. She responded, well, I'm sorry, I just can't give you an unopened
Starting point is 00:42:35 can so no diet coke for you. Now, stop there for a second. I really have never had a flight attendant say something like that seriously to me. Now, maybe it's just me. I do, you know, I do a lot of, I, I'm kind of a smart ass. I know that's a surprise. I like to tease them. I like to, you know, and we tease back and forth.
Starting point is 00:43:08 So it would make sense for a flight attendant to say to me, so no Diet Coke for you and pull it back. Meaning, not meaning that you can't have a Diet Coke, meaning she's joking around saying you can't have it. But I'll give you that she says, okay, no Diet Coke for you. Okay. So first, why? If the can is open right in front of you, make them wipe the top of you. off with your little napkin. Make them open it with the little napkin so they don't touch the top for your hygienic reasons.
Starting point is 00:43:55 Okay. Now, she said the flight attendant gave the man next to her an unopened beer can. And after pointing out the discrepancy, the flight attendant said, we're unauthorized to give unopened cans to people because they may use it as a weapon on the plane. So I told her she was clearly discriminating against me because she gave the man next to next to me in on an open can of beer. She looked at the can, took the can from the man, and opened it up and gave it back to him. Okay?
Starting point is 00:44:32 And she said, as she gave it back to them, she opened it and gave it back to him, she said, so you don't use it as a weapon. Okay. I don't know. Maybe? All right. So maybe up to now, maybe all of this happened. Maybe all of this happened.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Up to now. And you think, well, that's kind of weird. And maybe, you know, there's a little. something there, the flight attendant, and the, you know, the Muslim lady, maybe, maybe, maybe. So then she goes on that saying that she was appalled and asked those sitting by her if they witnessed this discriminatory and disgusting behavior. Okay, first. Did you?
Starting point is 00:45:29 Did you? Now, if you're sitting, let's say across the aisle, and for the most, you're, you're, you're part, you're not witnessing that. Okay? If you're across the aisle or sideways, maybe the seat up and behind, maybe are. But for the most part, on an airplane, especially if you're flying coach, you're not paying attention. You're just not. You don't hear, you can't hear, you got headphones on, the carts in front of you, you're just waiting for your drink.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Let's go. Let's move on. Let's get a move on. so she wrote that the man sitting in the aisle across from her yelled out to her okay so the card is there all right and even if the cart isn't directly beside you in an airplane you've got the flight attendant right because they're moving that card up and down it's not anyway so maybe it's two or three seats back the flight attendant came left the card up there came back two or three seats, whatever.
Starting point is 00:46:36 So it is possible that the person sitting across from you, I guess, could witness. All right. So what do you say? Do you say, no, I didn't witness it or, yeah, that's what she said. Said you could use it as a weapon, whatever. Sorry. She claims the man sitting across the aisle from her yelled out to her, you Muslim, you need to shut the F up.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Yeah, you know you'd use that. as a weapon, so shut the F up. Come on. No way that happened. No way that happened. On a flight from Chicago to Washington, no way. I say, shut up to that.
Starting point is 00:47:36 You Muslim, you need to shut the F up. Yes, you know you would use it as a weapon, so shut the F up. no way did that happen. I don't buy it. And she said that she expected people around her to say something to this guy and nobody said anything. Okay. No way did that happen.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Because if that were to happen in today's world, someone in the vicinity would have said something. Someone would have told that guy, dude, you need to be. to shut up. Sit down and shut your mouth. They'll be talking like that. They would not, and the flight attendants would not have even put up with it. I'm sorry. I don't buy it.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Now, that was her first post. Now, second post. After landing in Washington, she wrote that the flight attendant acknowledged that her behavior was utterly rude and said she was sorry about her unethical behavior. And agreed the white male passenger said hateful. words that he should not have said. Really? So this all happened after you landed, right?
Starting point is 00:49:02 She didn't say anything to the guy on the flight. Okay. She also said, this is the second post now, the pilot told her he recognized his privilege as a white man, said he didn't know what it must feel like to be a minority and go through something hateful like this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that happened. That happened for sure. I'm sorry. I'm not sure what the outcome has wanted here. I'd not, you know, I just, of course, United Airlines is talking about, you know, it's a misunderstanding. It was a regional carrier,
Starting point is 00:49:58 shuttle America, which is owned by United Airlines, so it wasn't the main. United. They said they started they said they tied to accommodate Ms. Ahmed's beverage request after a misunderstanding regarding a can of diet soda.
Starting point is 00:50:19 The flight arrived in Washington. The in-flight crew met with her, tried to provide assistance and further discuss the matter. Additionally, we spoke with Ms. Ahmed this afternoon to get a better understanding of what occurred and apologized for not delivering the service our customers
Starting point is 00:50:35 expect when traveling with us. we look forward to having the opportunity to welcome Miss Ahmed back. Of course, Ms. Ahmed said she was truly disappointed. She went to the airline? Now she wants to boycott United over a Diet Coke. First of all, remember, remember this all started because she couldn't get an unopened can of Diet Coke. And then she claimed that a passenger across the seat from her, the aisle seat, yelled out to her after she asked, did anyone witness this discriminatory, disgusting behavior?
Starting point is 00:51:22 No one said, didn't seem really discriminatory to me. I, you know, just a can of Diet Coke. Nobody said that. Nobody said, no, I didn't. Or over a can of Diet Coke, let it go. No one said that. But what she said they did say is a guy saying, you Muslim, you need to shut the F up. Yes, you know you would use it as a weapon.
Starting point is 00:51:52 So shut the F up. No way that happened. No way. Another thing that didn't happen, the pilot. Apologizing for everything that happened, I buy he apologized. Sorry, there was an issue. They even said he did. They met with her.
Starting point is 00:52:20 No way. As a white male, I recognize my privilege. I don't know what it must feel like to be a minority and go through something hateful like this. Shut up. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. On the Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show.
Starting point is 00:53:08 This cannot stand. Okay. Tinder. The app. the, uh, let's just call it a dating app. They like to call themselves a dating app. Uh, you, sure, your dating app. Uh, Tinder is allegedly banning transgender users because they're trans.
Starting point is 00:53:32 This cannot stand. Tinder, you got a big, maybe, maybe you come up with the new app. Tinder light, something. If you don't know what Tinder is, look it up it's a dating app okay and trust me when i tell you um it's more of a get together for a short period of time right now at 2 a m of the morning when i'm really drunk app or hey it's saturday afternoon i got nothing better to do and you look pretty good why don't you come over app and you put a picture of yourself and you get to rate them and you slide it to the left and they're gone have a nice day,

And they're in, the app is location on your phone, so they're in your neck of the woods. Really good app in college. Not that I'm aware. There is a nickname for many of the people who use Tinder. That would be Tinder Ho, or Tinder Ho's. And that could be male or female, by the way.
Starting point is 00:55:01 And in Rhode Island, they're blaming hookup apps like Tinder for the STD spike. Sexually transmitted diseases rates rose in Rhode Island. And they're saying, hey, that's because of the hookup apps. But, oh my gosh. Tinder is, they say that they use self-reporting to report and transgender people to avoid being matched with people who might report them. So they're just banned. They're saying, you can't be on Tinder, get off. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:55:39 This cannot stand. Tinder, a million-dollar idea for you. Okay. just come up with something. I don't know what, I'll think of a name. I will think of something. That could be your Twitter project for the day. Think of the new name for the Tinder app for if you're transsexual.
Starting point is 00:56:03 And we'll talk a little. I don't know that I want to get into the whole Bruce Jenner thing, Caitlin Jenner. You know, we talked at length about it when he first did his interview with ABC. and you know I'm a fan of Bruce and Caitlin and those of you that are struggling with we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it because right now I've got to take this test
Starting point is 00:56:26 that I just posted on Twitter is your sexual history as impressive as you think it is. So listen, go to my Twitter account, I'm FBI, I'm right, let's take the test. What's your gender? I'm a male. How old are you? I can't tell you.
Starting point is 00:56:41 How many sex partners have you had since the age of 18? since the age of 18? I mean, if we're going to be doing this correctly, we've got to start at earlier than 18, don't we? Anyway, go take the test. We'll discuss after the plane. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Jeff Fisher Show. All right, did you take the test? All right. The test. What? You didn't take the test? Well, go to my Twitter account at Jeff EMRA and take the sex test. Okay?
Starting point is 00:57:47 You ready? All right, Slate put this up, sex history. And they want to know, is your sexual history as impressive as you think? And I don't know that anybody thinks their sexual history is impressive. However, you know, everybody, I guess, I guess you think, whatever. But as I took it, all right, I'm a little disappointed in myself. A little disappointed at myself. I'm like 55% better than my peers.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Okay. All right. That can't be. I know I'm better than that. So I got to reconfigure because I know that I'm 100. Because it asked how old you are and then how many sex partners you've had since 18. okay so first since 18 all right so I mean I don't know about you but unlike what my children will be able to say before I was 18 there may have been some happenings okay so I'm saying
Starting point is 00:59:01 plus I've been married now for like a thousand years and there's a thousand years and there's There's only been a couple of, you know, between the wife and a couple of affairs. She's going to love that. Oh, yeah. Oh, my wife is going to laugh at that. Between the two wives, my first wife and my second wife, you know, I mean, that counts as two. I don't know about you, but that only counts as two for a number of years, okay? because you're married and you're supposed to keep that vow.
Starting point is 00:59:42 I got it. So if I lower my age to when I got married, so I'm going to do that. When did I get married the first time? Okay. I got married here. And then I got to take a couple. You take the two off, right?
Starting point is 01:00:00 All right. You take the two off. What do you stack up? What? 57%. I only went up a couple of percentage points. Whatever. All right, I got to refigure.
Starting point is 01:00:16 I must have forgot a couple people. Now, the people I work with in New York? Way better than me. Way better. One, 94%, one at 69% better. Come on. I am like nobody. Compared to coworkers in New York.
Starting point is 01:00:37 I got to rethink the heck I'm doing. and tell you that right now. All right, we can talk about Bruce if you want. I mean, we don't have to. If you're sick of hearing about Caitlin and Bruce, me too. I really am. I'm over it. I hope, I wish him all the best.
Starting point is 01:00:54 He got an award from ESPN, everybody's pissed. So what? It's their award. They can give it to whoever the hell they want. And then you get the articles of, you know, transgender mental disorder. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bruce Jenner, calling him a woman as an insult to women. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:11 I know Matt Walsh. Big story on the blaze. calling Bruce Jenner woman is an insult to woman. The only thing I, it's a really good article. Matt does a fantastic job for us. I love, I love,
Starting point is 01:01:22 love his articles. I am a little befuddle that his parents beware. Soon the magazine rack at the checkout line at the sewer market will feature the profoundly disturbing image of Bruce Jenner. All right. The picture of Vanity Fair,
Starting point is 01:01:41 call me Caitlin, is if you don't know, the story? If you're a kid looking at a magazine as you go through the checkout line with your parents at the grocery store, you don't know that. You don't know that that's Bruce Jenner, now Caitlin Jenner. You see what appears to be a woman sitting there, say, and call me Caitlin. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:02:11 So, I mean, if the kid says, wow, look. Look at that picture. Do you immediately have to go to, oh, that's Bruce Jenner. Transgender. No, you don't. So take it easy on that. We had another big story on the Blaze from Laverne video. Talked about I wished I'd been born a boy.
Starting point is 01:02:47 But in the end, her belief that God doesn't make mistakes. And she has a great life and a great family. I know most of them. And, okay. I mean, I didn't know that she had struggled that much, but okay. I'm sorry that it was that much of a struggle. But we love you, right? And she's got a great life.
Starting point is 01:03:31 So, you know, good for her. Now, we can talk about a little crime, too. I want to talk about a little bit of crime because there has been some serious crime across the country in recent days. You had the woman smashing into the mailbox, running into the ditch and smashing into the mailbox because she was high on nitrous. Now, the article calls it Wippets.
Starting point is 01:03:58 I'm sorry, being a person of some knowledge of Wippets, getting nitrous from whipped cream bottles are not Wippets. Okay. You're getting nitrous from the whipped cream bottles. We have to warm up. You can't shake them. Nitrous rises and you take that hit off the top. I've seen it done.
Starting point is 01:04:23 I mean, I think that's how you do it. And you get the buzz from the nitrous. There are little canisters of nitrous. Those are the whippets. And then there's a device, a little metal device. You put the canister in and it pops it. and then you hit that or take whatever they call it. And you catch the nitrous buzz from that.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Those are whippets. We had that. That's horrific crime. The mailbox down, I mean horrific. And then we had the Connecticut man, afraid to go into his own house. Called 911 dispatchers for help. There was a horrific thing in his house and he couldn't go in.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Well, let's hear the call. I have a problem in my home. I cannot go inside in my home. What's the problem? The problem is my cat was getting too aggressive, and I was inside and he attacked me, and she attacked me my leg and bite me. So me and my wife will come outside, and now we cannot go in the home like three, four hours. Okay, and this is a, you said a cat?
Starting point is 01:05:46 Yeah. Okay, so where's the cat? Sorry? Inside the house. In my home. Okay, and so you want the police to come and remove the cat? What is the problem? Yeah, we'll have to go inside their home because we remove the cat.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Okay. Um, I don't know. Was something wrong with the cat? Like, it was... We don't know they're really true. She had a baby last night. Okay. And then she was good until like 10, 11 o'clock today.
Starting point is 01:06:26 And I come from outside and then I changed my clothes and just, I sit in the bed and he started to attack me. And then after, we locked her another room, but she, uh, we locked her another room, but she, uh, We were in another room and then we go out and start to attack again and we cannot move. We cannot do anything. Now we come out and we were waiting in the parking like three, four hours. It's so aggressive and so mad. Just five minutes ago I tried to open the door again. And she's waiting on the door and it was so much screaming and noise and coming like attacking mode.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Horrific crime happening in Connecticut. The assault cat. Cats are attacking people forever now in America. Be careful. Cats are very, very dangerous. And that may be a reason. Now, according to that man, that cat just had babies. Kittens, I know.
Starting point is 01:07:40 and then went into attack mode, right? Maybe the great Bob Barker was right. Spay and neuter a must. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network is the Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to it. 888-800-90-3033. is the phone number.

We've got the NHL playoffs going on, right? The Tampa Bay Lightning, Chicago Blackhawks. You know, the last time I lived in Tampa, in Tampa Bay was working for 970 WFLA at the time when the Lightning
Starting point is 01:10:06 were in the playoffs and ended up winning the Stanley Cup. I got to tell you, we had so much fun going to those games. It was great. My oldest son was, well, he couldn't have been in college, so he must have been still in high school, senior, junior, whoever, whatever year it was. And we went to almost every playoff game. And almost every Stanley Cup game, almost every one.
Starting point is 01:10:41 It was great. The only game we didn't go to, of course, because was the final one where they won it. With all the playoff games, with all these other games. And the person who was supplying me with tickets, and these were not horrific tickets either, I might add. Oh, no, this is the game that they're going to win the Stanley Cup. I'm going to use them. What?
Starting point is 01:11:14 After you've teased me with all these games, you're going to make me watch it on television? Fine. Thank you for all your free stuff before, pal. It was great. It was a great time and good fun. So if you ever have an opportunity to see and be a part of that NHL playoffs, And heading into the Stanley Cup games and the Stanley Cup playoffs, it's a lot of fun.

Starting point is 01:12:11 We've got the, for the first time scientists have created a lab grown limb. Yay! That's what I want. Much better than the computer robot limb, I'm guessing. You could just have a brand new limb grown. What's that grown out of your neck? It's my arm. They're going to take it off and put it.
Starting point is 01:12:34 put it on where it really goes in about another week. But you never know. It would be fun to see. Now, I've got all kinds of tech stuff on robots, too. Man, I can't tell you. There's some great, fascinating news on robots. There's a blood test that can tell you how many viruses have invaded your body over the course of your life. The question to that is, why would you want to know that?
Starting point is 01:13:04 Have you ever wondered how many viruses have invaded your body over the course of your life? No. No, I have not. I already know a number of them, okay? Don't need to know anymore. Thanks for asking, though. Apparently there's going to be some kind of use to help prevent sickness. Whatever, I still know.
Starting point is 01:13:33 I don't want you to know everything I've had or still have, by the way. No, thank you. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
