America. I will go on record as saying I didn't watch them. I probably should have. I apologize. The opening ceremony was decidedly simple and low-tech, a reflection of Brazil's tough economic times. There was no glossing over history either from the arrival of the Portuguese and their conquest of the indigenous populations to the use of African slave labor for 400 years. The class of cultures, as the ceremony showed, is what makes Brazil the complex mosaic that it is. I don't know.

That's how they'd write about. I don't know. The United States. Unlike the opening ceremonies in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012, a financially constrained Brazil. This is from Reuters. I'm just fascinated on how they financially restrained, constrained Brazil. had little choice but to put on a more analog show with minimal high tech and a heavy dependence

on the vast talent of Brazil and its carnival party traditions in nearly four-hour event nothing appeared to go awry. Home to the Amazon, the world's largest rainforest. Brazil used the ceremony to call on the 3 billion people

watching the opening of the world's world's premier sporting event to take care of the planet. Plant seeds and protect the land that Europeans found here five centuries ago. We'll see how well they take care of their land here in a little bit as we go on. The big stars, a supermodel Jal Blanchkin, she performed for free. She showed up, walked across, shut up for free. Loud cheering erupted when the two of the last teams entered the stadium. The first refugee team.

Yay. This just kills me. The first refugee team. So great. So great. And then, of course, the Brazil contingent. So Rio 2016 organizing committee had said not and said how much they cost, but it was believed to be about half of the $42 million spent by London in 2012.

So they still spent, you know, 20 million or so. when people, you know, are starving and they've got, you know, rivers of poop. But hey, whatever. Now, the leader who was supposed to preside over the games, President Dilma Rousseff, was suspended in May. And I had a face impeachment trial and tweeted, sad to not be a part of the party. Sad to be not at the party. I bet you are, Dilma.

$12 million price tag to organize the games. Many in the nation of $200 million and in Rio, where few can see the benefit. of the spectacle or even afford to attend the games. Due to Brazil's most intense security operation ever, some of the 50,000 attendees faced two-hour-long lines as Brazil stage's most intense security operation ever. Can't blame them there. Then, if you didn't watch it, along with myself,

before the entry of a few thousand of the 11,000 athletes that will be competing in the games, playful rhythms of the ceremony gave way to a sober message about climate change and rapid deforestation of the Amazon. Each athlete was asked to plant seeds that will eventually grow into trees and be planted in Rio for years. Now, those of us watching in America, I mean those of you watching in America, a little wound up thanks to NBC. Want to know why network television is soon to be dead. Classic network television.

Soon to be dead. Why? American TV viewers use social media on Friday to vent their anger as U.S. broadcaster NBC delayed the screening of the opening ceremony for the Rio Games by an hour. And then, of course, they've got to do commercials during the opening ceremony.

I don't, people were a little, you know, bummed about the commercials. I'm not so upset about the commercials as I am with, just delay it. Nobody will know what's going on. And that's it. NBC, a unit of Comcast Corporation has the U.S. media rights, no kidding, of South America's first Olympic Games, decided not to show the ceremony live because its producers and commentators wanted time to put it into context for Americans. You're too dumb.

to understand what was actually happening at the Olympic ceremonies. It's a cultural ceremony that requires deep levels of understanding with numerous camera angles and our commentary laid over it. We think it's important to give the proper context. And prime time is still when the most people are available to watch. But many viewers were upset and waiting to see the global event with audiences and news media and the rest of the world. We're already sharing pictures of it on the web.

Everyone knew it was going on, NBC. Yeah. The rest of the world watched it live. Wouldn't want to share it with the rest of the world because we're too dumb. They wanted to be able to put it into context for Americans. It's not a sports competition. It's a cultural ceremony that requires deep levels of understanding with numerous camera angles and our commentary laid over it. We think it's important to give it the proper context, and prime time is still the most people are available to watch.

Some of the tweets were, a great idea, NBC don't air what should be a global cultural event live. Why would anyone want to watch and enjoy it together? Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief Gerard Baker, just staggeringly irritating that 20 years after the birth of the web, NBC still shows the Olympics in a time delay. others were annoyed at the repeated ad breaks. Can NBC slip in a bit of the Olympic opening ceremonies between commercials? Now, on commercial breaks, the NBC spokesman said, hey, hey, hey, the delay enabled us to insert ads into the broadcast without depriving viewers much of the ceremony. Oh, that's good.

That's good. That's good because we don't, that way they can give us the context of the Olympic. opening ceremonies because as Americans, we're too dumb. Right, NBC? Well, the good things is that they're going to be, they gave a tree seeds to be planted all over Brazil. Great. And keep the earth clean.

Uh-huh. Okay. Expert to real athletes, don't put your head underwater. I'll be fascinated to see how NBC covers that. covers the I don't know filthy contaminated with raw human sewage

you know those waterways now the study published over a year ago so I'm sure it's fixed showed viral levels up to 1.7 million times what would be considered worrisome

in the states and in Europe huh that's it though Don't worry about it. We told you last week about the, you know, the bodies floating in the bay. We also told you that, you know, don't worry about it. One Brazilian doctor even warned that Olympic marathon swimmers will literally be swimming in human crap. Now, it's been claimed the organizers of efforts to treat the raw sewage and clean up household debris in the bay and fall in short. Uh-huh, you think?

Be ultra careful as the waters are much more contaminated than was previously thought. Huh. Danger is lurking in the sand. Samples from the beaches. Revealed high levels of viruses, which recent studies have suggested can pose a health risk, particularly to babies and small children. The most contaminated points are the lagoon,

where the Olympic rowing will take place, and another marina, which is the starting point, for the sailing races. Those two places are just the most contaminated, though, so don't worry about it. Local authorities, including the Rio Mayor, have acknowledged the failure of the city's water cleanup efforts, calling it a lost chance and a shame. Olympic officials continue to insist Rio's waterways will be safe for athletes and visitors. The local organizing committee did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Though it was previously said bacterial testing conducted by the Rio State authorities has shown the aquatic venues to be within state guidelines.

Oh. Oh, within state guidelines. What those guidelines are. Has anybody seen those guidelines? The crux is the issue lies in the different types of testing, you think? Bacterial tests measure levels of colliforms different types of bacteria that tend not to cause illnesses themselves but are indicated. of the presence of other potentially harmful sewage-borne pathogens, such as other bacteria, viruses, or protozoic that can be cholera, dysentery, hepatitis, A, typhoid, among other diseases.

Bacterial tests are worldwide standard because they're cheap and easy. Oh. That's it, though. Oh. Okay. Even in the city's wealthiest areas, sewage treatment has lagged dramatically with so-called black tongues of feeded sewage-filled water common even on the Ipanema and the Leblon beaches. The lagoons in the fast-growing region have been filled with so much sewage dumped by nearby

glass and steel residential towers that vast islands of sludge emerge from the filthy waters during low tide. The lagoon system, which hugs the Olympic Park and Athletes Village, regularly sees massive pollution-related fish die-offs and he mits an eye-watering sulfuric stench. But we won't be able to have the eye-watering sulfuric stench, but it will be fun to see how NBC handles it. Viewed from above, Rio sewage problem is visible as on spreadsheets. Rivers are tar-black, lagoons near the Olympic Park bloom with fluorescent green algae that thrives amid sewage. Fishermen's wooden boat sink into the thick sludge of the bay.

Surfers paddle amid giant brown stain that can contrast with the azure of the surrounding waters. It's been decades, and I see no improvement. The bay has been transformed into a latrine, and unfortunately, Rio de Janeiro, missed the opportunity. Maybe the last big opportunity to clean it up. Then there was a report on the Golf Channel. The Olympic Golf, they're trying to make the Olympic golf course. Just a tad bit better. Why?

Well, on the Olympic golf course, there's monkeys, rodents, birds. That's it. The Cabibaris, you know, the largest rodent in the world. There's three-toed sloths, monkeys, boa constrictors, small crocodile. It doesn't usually grow beyond five feet in length, though. That's it. They frequent hold two, three, five, and nine.

So it'll be great. It makes you want to watch the Gulf, actually. And then, of course, we have the Moroccan Olympic boxer already arrested on sexual assault charges. Yay. Now, I must say two things about this story. First, the arrest was made after an order on Thursday by a judge of a special Rio de Janeiro state court created in 2013 for large events. the court will have seven outposts during the summer game. So they're going to get you right into jail quick.

Now, I kind of like that. Instead of just having to drag you across town or put you away somewhere, they have the court set up. The attack took place on Wednesday, according to a police statement. The accusers are two Brazilian women who work in the Morocco's wing of the Olympic village. They told police that the boxer initially asked to take a photograph with them and that he had then tried to kiss them using force. I will say that I have a, you know,

it doesn't really sound like sexual assault to me. But hey, what do I know? He tried to kiss them using force. Okay, sexual assault. The judge, it's unbelievable that an athlete who should be coming to a country to participate in the Olympic spirit has total disrespect for those who welcome him, committing grave acts that would be repudiated in any part of the world. I agreed with that.

Then we have the kidnapping. Yes. How much would you pay to get your mother-in-law back? Think about this for a second. How much would you pay if someone kidnapped your mother-in-law? The mother-in-law of billionaire Burning Ecclestone heads the Formula One racing franchise. Now, his mother-in-law was kidnapped. The ransom was $36 million.

How much would you pay? Now they got her back. Now, she was held for more than a week. They got her back. Apparently, they arrested the kidnappers. And so, you know, he didn't have to, I don't think that he lost a dime. You know, maybe a few bucks for him. But would you pay $36 million for your mother-in-law?

Honey, what's going on? They've kidnapped mom. They want $36 million. Here, let me talk to him. What did they say? They said no matter what we pay, we're not getting her back. Here we go. This is the Jeff Fisher show on the Blaze Radio Network.

The Jeff Fisher Show 88890333 is the phone number. Mark, you are on the broadcast. How are you, sir? All right. Good. What's up? Yeah, you said you didn't watch the opening ceremony.

I did not. I was very disappointed. I missed the Brazil global warming climate change openings. I'm sorry. Oh, man, I'll tell you what. You missed it. They all came in with these little bronze medals. They're honorary member medals.

Oh, my gosh. They're for the teen members that could march in walking up straight without an end up to bend over and grab their guts because they ate or drank something. And also there's the honorary medal for the outhouse dash. You worked all night on those? No, no, no. It just whipped right into my brain this moment. Yeah, I took my ADD pills. I'm doing good.

So did you actually watch them? A little bit of it, and then I said, oh, come on. And I switched channel. Why just turned on Netflix and watch something else? It was just too much to handle. All right. Thanks, Mark. I appreciate it.

You know, the Olympics used to be something that I never, I don't know that I ever, I know that I ever thought, you know, wow, I want to. You know, I didn't have the drive to say, hey, I'm going to work really hard so I could become an Olympian. Although I do know a couple people that did have that drive, you know, that were trying to get the Olympics and ended up going to the trials. And, you know, they were tremendous athletes in their own right. And they didn't even make it to the Olympics. So, I mean, it's kind of cool. And it used to be something that you'd kind of think was how cool is that.

And there's something. I hope NBC has some decent backstories on some of these people. And I'm sure that, I'm sure we'll get the backstories on all the refugee team. Oh, my gosh. I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't deal with the refugee team. And NBC's going to be all over that. You know they are. You know they are.

And this refugee. Ugh. Ugh. The Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. Is the Jeff Fisher Show. That it is. How in the world are you?

Let's talk a little social media, sell we? Now, you can follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA. You can follow me on Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. You can follow me on Instagram at Jeff EMRA. Okay. Let's run down the list of some social media. Did you know that Facebook is now challenging Twitter with new Olympic features? They announced Monday.

The features, you'll be able to, you know, an effort to play the bigger event of the global events, okay? which is really cool. And it's kind of nice of them to jump in. And of course, everyone is, you know, part of the Olympics. Everybody wants to be a little bit of part of the Olympics, and you've got to kind of follow it because it is a global event, right? Okay, well, did you know that Twitter now Inc deals with NFL, NHL, MLB, to stream live events?

I mean, that is really cool. Now, let's go back to, a couple of things. All right. Twitter is going to stream these events, which is really cool. They're also going to have a show. Okay? They're going to do in-game highlights as well as Periscope broadcast from players and teams.

And they're going to have their own show, which they're going to stream. Okay? Which is amazing. It's going to be called the rally. At least that's what they're calling it now. And it's a be like a highlight show. Amazing. Okay?

So you have Facebook and Twitter is going to live stream games, have their own shows. All right. Then we have, don't forget about the NBC comment about delaying the broadcast of the Olympic openings because they wanted to have its producers and commenters be able to put it into context for America. It's not a sports competition. It's a cultural ceremony that requires deep levels of understanding with numerous camera angles and our commentary laid over it.

We think it's important to give it the proper context. Facebook, Twitter. Live streaming, Facebook live, everything is in your face live. We wanted to delay the opening of the ceremonies because, well, look, you're too stupid to really grasp everything that there is about the South America's first Olympic Games. And we wanted to be able to put it into context for you. Uh-huh. thanks NBC. Basic network

television. They're killing themselves. They're killing themselves. And the social media sites are beating them to the punch. Now, we have this story. And while

we have these sites picking up, we have the FTC, of course, a governmental agency, wants to crack down on paid celebrity posts that aren't clear, that aren't clear ads. Now, it's actually kind of agonizing. I mean, it's been going on for quite some time. When you look at the Instagram posts, Twitter feeds, Facebook posts of celebrities, what they're wearing, what purse they have. have, what shoes they're wearing, what glasses, what drinks. Most of that is product placement.

Now, according to this story, the Federal Trade Commission is planning to get tougher. Users need to be clear when they're getting paid to promote something. And hashtags like ad, SP, or sponsored are not always enough. Well, what is enough? What is enough, FTC? I mean, they are, later in this story, they're calling you stupid. You're too stupid to know. Okay?

It just is absolutely unbelievable. Because posts that have ad or sponsored, hashtag sponsored in them, but if there's several hashtags around that, people are too dumb and they might miss it. Oh, well, sorry. Hashtags like SP and SPON may not be. be fully understood, especially if they're buried at the bottom of a post. And any disclosure would be better at the beginning. When it comes to video, the FTC calls for disclosure to be set out loud or displayed on screen.

It can even get more complicated on Snapchat where there's not an obvious place to put a hashtag, and the videos are only a few seconds. It's absolutely agonizing. And just look for the government is trying to get their hands. Find a way to worm their way in. and what's agonizing a little bit about the FTC is they really haven't said, here are the rules.

Even if you say, wow, they've got these rules, that's stupid, let's get these rules change. They're saying, we're not really, you know, eh, you know what,

sometimes isn't enough, sometimes it is. What? What? And then you have, you know, you see, I don't know,

NFL, I guess, you know, they think, well, if you watch an NBA game or an NFL game and players are wearing jerseys by Nike and shoes by Nike and shoes by Reebok, that it's common knowledge that those are paid deals. Is it? They don't say it. They don't say it at all. Now, this is going to mean more cases like the one against Warner Brothers,

which last month settled with the FTC overcharges. It deceived customers by paying Internet influences such as PewDiePie, this guy, man. 50 million followers on YouTube. Unbelievable. And they paid him to promote the video game. Middle Earth, Shadow of Mortar with positive reviews without disclosing that they were paid and told how to promote it. Lord and Taylor issued a FTC issued a complaint against them for paying fashion influence to create posts about one of its dresses on Instagram without disclosure that the retailer paid them and gave them dresses for free. Any compensation, including free products, should be disclosed.

So get ready for the battle. The government wants their cut, and they're ready to take it. And they are ready to take it. Then there's this that may make you think, you know, the Internet's not that great of a place to be. The most important tools for America's 35,000 private investigators are database subscription services. For more than a decade, professional snoops have been able to search troves of public and non-public records. Known addresses, DMV records, photographs of a person's car, condense them into comprehensive reports costing as little as $10.

Now, all that information with the kinds of things marketers know about you, politicians you donate to, what you spend on groceries, and whether it's weird that you ate in last night to create a portrait of your life and predict your behavior. IDI, a year old company in the so-called data fusion business. Data fusion business is the first to centralize and weaponize all of that information for its customers. It combines public records with purchasing demographic and behavioral data. Look, says CEO Derek Dubner, the system isn't waiting for requests from clients. It's already built the profile on every American adult, including young people who wouldn't be swept up in conventional databases, which only index transactions.

We have data on that 21-year-old who's living at home with mom and dad. IDA also runs, IDI also runs two coupon websites, all-American savings.com and sample and savings.com, that collect purchasing and behavioral data. Steve Ramab, a P.I. who hosts Nowhere to Hide on the Investigation Discovery Channel, and who doesn't watch the Investigation Discovery Channel show, Nowhere to Hide, Steve Rambaum, says marketing data remains a niche monitoring tool compared with social media, but its power can be unparalleled, you think? Users and industry analysts say the addition of purchasing and behavioral data to conventional data fusion outmatches rival systems in terms of capabilities.

Now, that's one of the things that companies do. You do business with them, and then they sell your information to whomever, to IDI. And IDI puts it into their database along with all the other things that you have. Your DMV records, your houses that you purchase, the cars that you purchase, which banks you bank at, and put it all together in a nice, neat little package. just for you. Isn't that special? Isn't that special?

It almost makes you, you're either at the point now where you just go, eh, whatever, I don't care. I know they know everything about me. I don't care. I just want to be,

I just want to work. I just want to go home to my family. And I just want to be with my, you know, be in my house. And then I'll go to work again. And then I'll be reimbursed. And I don't need to cash because the money goes right to the account.

and I'll just use my cards. And boy, you know, wouldn't it be cool if we could just have a chip in us and just wouldn't even have to carry around cards or anything. We just, everything would be right there, that information because IDI has all the information, so why can't I just put a chip in and have IDI linked to my chip? Whatever it needs updating, they'll let me know, and I'll just take my chip and I'll slide it into a reboot system on my laptop.

That'd be great. I don't have to carry anything except the chip inside of me. They already know everything about you and your family and your children and everyone that live before you and everything that is going to come after you, they know what you're going to eat, when you're going to eat. Pretty much can predict when you're going to die. So what's the point?

Who cares? Who cares and what's the use? Or you're at the point of, man, do I need to unplug and try to put an end to this? This is the Jeff Fisher Show. on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show. 888-90333 is the phone number.

Coming up after this broadcast is Chris Salsato and then Mike Slater and Joe Pags, all for your Saturday lineup on the Blaze Radio Network. Before this broadcast was Michael Pelka. I'm not sure what he gave away today. I'm sure it was fascinating. We've been busy here in Dallas in the Las Colina studios with the Mercury 1,

the museum. that's here in the studios now, and it is absolutely fascinating the items that we have here. And I came in this morning and no one's here. The security was hiding because I felt like, you know, I could probably just haul some of the stuff out of here and nobody would be the wiser. Jeff, there's cameras and security.

I know, but I just put it in the bag and carried out. Nobody had no. They've got some things out here. here that are unbelievable. If you have an opportunity to get here today or tomorrow in Las Kalinas to see the museum, the Mercury Museum, it is amazing. We were here yesterday, Villan and David Barton were giving tours, private tours, and then we have, there's general admission tours today and all day tomorrow.

And then today we have some big VIP thing going on this afternoon. and dinner and everything. If you want to be part of that, I'm sure, you know, you want to write a check. Come on. It all goes to Mercury 1,

so you're good to go. No problem. Just come on in, write a check. We'll let you in. I would appreciate if you wrote that check and there was actually

the amount of money that you write down on the check in the checking account. I don't think that any of you would, you know, try to, you know, fool us. Not that I've ever put the wrong amount by accident, of course, on a check and say, here you go.

You know, hey, you know, sorry, didn't mean to do that. Jeff, you really didn't have $100,000 in your account. It was only $10. I know. I just added an extra zero or five. And that's it. That's all I did. Sorry.

Sorry. Sorry. Didn't mean to do that. Okay. Yay. Olympics. Olympic started. Yay.

And some are calling it the Zika Olympics, the 2016 Brazil Zika Olympics. Well, the FDA, going to try to help that out a little bit. They just said it was okay for them to release mutant Zika killing mosquitoes in Florida. Yay. Yay, what could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go wrong? That's right. A biotech company that focuses on insect control calls for the release of thousands of genetically engineered male mosquitoes.

The insects bred so that over time they would kill off much of the local mosquito population. I would underline more of much. I would understand, let's see what happens after quite a while after they kill the Zika's. What other disease do these mutant mosquitoes come up with? Oh, nothing. Don't worry about it. Stop. Stop thinking like that, Jeff.

Gosh, they're going to be killing Zika mosquitoes with these mutant mosquitoes. This is the Jeff Fisher Show, only on the Blaze Radio Network. Success. Begin Life Force reboot program now. Stand cleave signs stable. It's alive. Set it loose. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.

Welcome to it on the Blaze Radio Network 888-903-33 is the phone number. I was just looking. Of course, I screwed up the picture because I was in a hurry. Gosh darn it. I was out there looking at the Mercury Museum here at the studios. And normally, you know, no one's here. But I'm doing the show. And they're busy little beavers out there.

It's all lit up running around like crazy. I went out there hoping, you know, maybe somebody brought some donuts or something. But no, to no avail. And so. I took a picture of this lady, but you can't see it. She's a volunteer because I want her job. She's sitting in a chair just around the bend with an holding an arrow sign that says restroom on it.

It's a fantastic. I want her job. I want her job. I mean, God bless her. She's here. She's helping. Great. But pretty funny.

To me anyway. Welcome to the broadcast. They are going crazy. out there at Mercury Museum. We may have a I might have to talk to somebody about it, but you've already heard all about it. Right. I mean, there's all kinds,

you've got the Mayflower hat, and you've got the deed to Washington's place, Mount Vernon, right? I mean, you've got the you know, the thing, the thing, the one thing from the other thing and the

other cool suit from the other place and the really old thing from the thing. It's, you know, you've seen it all, right? No? Well, come here then. Because you're going to want to be a part of seeing the thing from the other thing that's so old

because of the other thing. Right? Right. You know you are. You know you are. All right. Welcome to it. The Jeff Fisher Show. I'm sorry. I got carried away. The lady with the bathroom restroom sign just threw me completely off. I was just out there looking. It was right across from my studios.

It was just, it's thrown me completely off. I got it was unbelievable how it's thrown. The one thing, the lady, the nice lady sitting in the chair with the restroom sign. I hope maybe she gets a break once in a while. I mean, you can't be expected to sit in a chair holding a restroom sign with the arrow pointed at the restrooms all day. And if it were me, I would have the arrow pointing in all different directions. and, you know, just for fun, but she won't do that because she's a nice lady and wants to help people.

Right. Right. Unless I say, unless I go up later and say, I got it for you. Go ahead, take a break. Liarsorliberty.com. Just go there and check out the stuff. There's some pictures of it there. My wife has been here for the last two weeks, taking pictures of everything, going around and around crazy.

She was here all day yesterday, taking pictures. She was going to be here all day to day. my kids are fascinated with seeing so much stuff they helped carry the stuff in and they're looking at all this stuff and you know there's Hitler's hat and and there's my favorite my you know my personal favorite of course is the cultural thing you know the Marlon Brando godfather hat I want that bad boy I want that for me yeah I almost took that bad boy this morning what happened to the Brando hat don't know don't know don't go out into my car though And boy, speaking to my car, too, oh my gosh. All right, so my air conditioner's broke. Now, some would say, Jeff, hey, get it fixed. But it's too much money. I refuse to pay the money they want to charge me to fix my air conditioner.

The reason that I'm driving this car, I talked, I probably thought, I did talk about this last week too, right? My bug? Yeah, maybe I could my VW bug. Because it's not really a VW bug, okay? It's just that I call it that. But I haven't gotten a fixed. I haven't gotten a new car. And I'm telling you, it gets a little hot in that car.

Just a tad bit hot. And you want to know how rare it is not to have air conditioning. I've really noticed driving on the interstate going, you know, not so much to work in the morning. Because other people have their windows open, you know, it's morning time. It's 4.35 o'clock in the morning. And, you know, it's still only just under 100. but in the afternoons driving home and you have the windows open you're the only one you're the only guy on the interstate with the windows open

everybody else got the AC blasting you've got the windows open sweating I refuse not paying the money they want to charge me to fix this air conditioning I don't care refuse I'm going to be mad about not having air conditioning but I refuse to get it fixed to get it fixed, okay? It's just too much money. The whole point of having this car, I'm talking myself into this now. The whole point of me having this car was that it was paid off.

Right? It was paid off. I figured, look, I'm going to spend maybe, maybe a couple thousand a year. Maybe, maybe tops on maintenance. Usually, maybe a thousand on maintenance a year, right? you know, tires, battery, oil changes, you know, little things here and there, filter changes, stuff like that. So even if it's 2000 a year, that's still less than a car payment. Okay.

So I'm good. And it's paid off. Insurance, I don't have the insurance is, you know, I don't have to have full coverage. Although I think I do. But anyway, you don't have, no, I don't, not in this car. So you're, you know, it's saving me money. So I've already reached my threshold this year. So the car is starting to nickel and dime me.

Right. I mean, every little, every time you turn around, it's like, oh, that'll be another $552. $32. I can give you the coupon, though. We'll get you out here at 501. Oh, thank you. Oh, yeah. No problem, Jeff.

You're a good customer. We'll take care of you. Oh, okay. All right. No problem. I just brought it in here last week. You guys fixed this. What's up with this?

Oh, this is something completely different. We need to fix this for you. Yeah. Oh, no, no, we get you out of here. Plus, it's been a while it's been a while we get you out of noise. We'd knock out that oil change. And we'll get you out of here for, you know, $532.99.

And listen, there was a new coupon emailed you for $30. We'll get you out here at 501. Really, because I thought I was just coming in for a little checkup. Yeah, I know, but you need this done. You've got to knock this out. Your tires, we rotate your tires. The one looks good. Let's put one.

I want to pop up with a couple of new tires. We'll put those in the back. We'll put the bad ones up front. And we'll see what the ones are in the back up front because they don't have much where they look good. Everything's good. And we'll get you out of here. Let's see. Total.

Yeah, we've got the total here of 572.13. And look, hey, you've been here for quite a bit this year. We'll get you out here at 501. But every time I can't go into this place without spending $500. So it's time. But now, you know, I get a fine. time to go out and find a car. Look around. Find the car you want. Go through all the hassle and get to the stupid car, which I hate. So there's advertisements all over the Metroplex for this.

There's different companies that want my business. All I do is call them up or I register online. And one company, they're not even a sponsor, DNA leasing or something like that. some, I mean, all, they advertise, they'll deliver the car to me. They'll deliver the car to me. Right down, the advertisement is right down to the color of my floor mats. Now, I love the sound of that. Get your car, get your price, go through thing online, poop, deliver the car. But I'm going to have to check it out because it's leasing and I still have that thing in my head about leasing.

about leasing where I got some kind of restraints. Now, I might be able to follow those restraints. I just don't like having them. If I want to get in my car and drive 18,000 miles, I should be able to get in my car and drive 18,000 miles. I don't want to think, oh, the lease is only going to let me drive 15,000 miles this year. I have to be careful. I can't take it on this trip.

No, I don't want to be restrained by that. So it's either go out and look for a stupid car and spend the day, look at a car, Figured it out. What do you want to see? Having to deal with the salespeople. And we can work it out for you. We'll get this taken care of. It's just, I'll just be hot for a few days. And of course, of course, why would the air conditioner go out in the wintertime?

I mean, that would be stupid. The air conditioner will go out when you need it most, when every day is at least 100 and feels like a thousand. Every day in the Metroplex. In fact, let's see what it's best. because I think we had a couple days that weren't actually on. Let's take a look at Dallas right now. Shall we in Dallas, Texas right now? It's 88 degrees.

Let's see. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Head on our little weather thing on my little weather app. Sunday 102. Monday 101. Tuesday, 102. Wednesday, 101. Thursday, 102.

Friday, 103. That's the week ahead of us here in Dallas. Yay. Yay. Can't wait. Can't wait. Let's take a look at this is Irving. Oh, good.

Irving is even a little warmer than Dallas. Irving, 102, 101, 102, 102, 103, 104. Yay. Because technically I don't have to go right into Dallas. So Dallas is a little cooler. Maybe I should. so don't feel sorry for me. I don't want you to feel sorry for me.

I just want you to know that it gets really hot in your automobile when there's no air conditioning. It's the middle of the afternoon. You're driving on the 20-lane highway with cars going 18 billion miles an hour around you. Is I done complaining yet? I don't know. I don't know if I'm not.

I don't know if I'm done. And then I've got my kids don't. I can take my kids. We got running around. I got to take my kids. I don't want to go in daddy's car is too hot. Tough. In the back seat.

Suck it up. That's what I had to do as a kid. Don't be complaining either. Be happy you've got a damn car to ride in. Dad, it's really hot back here. I went to put the seatbelt out of the metal of the seatbelt. This is scorching hot. I burned my fingers.

Tough. The sun was really blasting through these windows, Dad. You think maybe you could do it. just try? See if the air condition will work? We'll just try? We can just try it. No. It's not going to work. It's going to blow hot air. Tough. Sit back there and shut up.

Okay, we're just going to ride with Mom, okay? It's going to ride with Mom. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show is on. That it is. 888-90333 is the phone number. is the phone number. My microphone for some reason keeps dropping.

So we're going to have to try to fix it here for you. That's got to be, it must be the heat. There's no air conditioning. Actually, there is air conditioning. Let's turn it around like this, turn the pole, see what happens, see what tightens up. There we go. Okay. Is it good?

I think we did it. Okay, good. 888-90-33 is the phone number. You can follow me on Twitter at Jeff. or Jeff Fisher Radio on Facebook and at Jeff EMRA on Instagram. The FDA, good news. Good news for you in the surrounding public. Copycat versions of biotech drugs work just as well as the originals and cost a lot less.

So heck, let's make them. Right? Right. The FDA approved knockoffs of biotech drugs. These biotech drugs are called biosimilers. The analysis at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health finds that so-called biosimilars why they're meant to mimic and compete with complex and expensive biotech drugs and perform as well as the brand-named versions.

The researchers looked at data from 19 studies of biosimilar drugs that treat rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, I hate that and psoriasis, and found that they were comparable to the originals that would cost less. Now, the findings are going to appear in this latest edition of the Annals of Internal Medicine. I must have been busy. I haven't gone to the mailbox and seen if my copy of Annals of Internal Medicine has arrived yet. Hopefully this will encourage the brisk adoption of these products, said Caleb Alexander, the studies lead researcher. there is no question that greater competition in this market will benefit patients, prescribers, and society in the long run. Biosimilars.

Look forward to it. Look forward to it. Can't wait. There's nothing that could possibly go wrong. With biosimilars, they are just about the same. So don't you worry about it. Not one little bit. Neural dust.

Heard of it? No? Well, you will. It lets you implant a wireless computer directly into your brain and body. Now, it sounds like something from a sci-fi film, but experts have created a neural dust that can be implanted into your body. Place to the brain, it can monitor internal nerves, muscles, or organs in real time. The so-called neural dust, which the team implanted in the muscles and peripheral nerves of rats is unique in that the ultrasound is used both to power and read out the measurements. The original goal of the Neural Dust Project was to imagine the next generation of brain machine interfaces and to make it a viable clinical technology.

Well, that's good. If a paraplegic wants to control a computer or robotic arm, you would just implant this electrode in the brain and it would last essentially a lifetime. The technology also opens the door to electrocuticles to treat disorders such as epilepsy or to stimulate the immune system or tamped down on inflammation. Ultrasound technology is already well developed for hospital use, and ultrasound vibrations can penetrate nearly anywhere in the body, unlike radio waves. Today's implantable electrodes degrade within one to two years and all connect to wires that pass through holes in the skull.

Yay! So I'll put my chip in. I put my chip in, you know, in my wrist. So that all my information is there, so I don't have to care anything. I can take my neural dust in my brain and inside my body so that I can get readings on how, you know, what's going on in my body and what needs to be done. And then I can have a little computer. Right, a little computer in my brain, all ready to go that I can see either in my glasses or in my, you know, in my eye so that I can just read the screen in my eye.

It would be great. It would be great. Oh, I would love that. Wouldn't you? And then we have this, which is going to be helpful as well. If you have the neural dust, it's going to warn you anyway. But this is like a precursor to the neural dust, I think. The researchers from the University of California, San Diego,

have invented a temporary tattoo that can detect the level of alcohol in a wearer's system and send it directly to their phone or smartwatch. It's a tattoo style patch. It uses commercial tattoo paper fitted with silver electrodes that creates a five-minute-long current which triggers a gel strip that releases a drug to induce sweat. Once the sweat comes into contact with the electrodes, it's able to gauge the level of alcohol in the wearer system and sends the results to their phones and watches.

They're just going to put this on you in a bar. It's not going to be your watch. The information is going to. You want to come into this bar? No problem. Put the patch on. Put the patch on. This patch is you are Patch 11.

And Patch 11 will be sent. to the bar computer and you can just drink your little heart out until the bar computer says, boop, boop, boop. Eleven has had too much to drink. Eleven has had too much to drink. And then you'll be done. And then you'll be done.

And you'll be good to go. And you'll be no more drunk driving. Everybody will be happy. Have your little tattoo patch on. Although I think there will be probably still drunk driving because people will be drinking at home. No. No, that won't happen because everyone's,

Everybody will have their tattoo patch art. So good, good. You've got that problem to solve. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to it. 888-90333 is the phone number.

Good news coming from the U.S. military. Yes, it's exciting. The U.S. will launch the world's largest battle. ship robot. You realize that? I mean, that's freaking amazing. It's a robotic battleship that will be able to run without

a human on board. 132 foot submarine as the sea hunter. Successfully completed its first performance test this past week off the coast of San Diego, keeping an on course to enter the Navy fleet in a couple of years, 2018. I bet you'll be faster than that.

The company developing the sea hunter, the vessel surpassed all performance objectives for speed, maneuverability, stability, seakeeping, acceleration, deceleration, and fuel consumption. The first few tests, a pilot has to remain on the ship, but in upcoming trials, the craft will cruise without any human assistance. Wow. They're still going to have the battle fleet will come at a front. fraction of the price compared to

the fully manned Navy ship. Yeah, no kidding. The agency's debuted the first prototype last April. The Klingon Bird of Prey is what the Deputy Defense Secretary. Oh my gosh. So they're going to be out there, baby. Dron ships.

Dron ships. It's going to be absolutely amazing. And you know what's good about that? The U.S. Navy with their drone ships. As soon They're going to have just regular drones, Homeland Security drones, flying around. Homeland Security's already been to Silicon Valley for specially designed drones. They met again last week for entrepreneurs where they need, hey, we need lightweight drones that are easy to fly, can cover vast stretches of desert. They also need to be able to provide images good enough to scan faces against database for prior criminal history.

So they need to be really cool and work really good and they need to do everything we needed to do and make. it happen, make it happen out there in Silicon Valley and then we'll buy it for you for a bunch of money. Homeland security drones. So we're going to have those flying around all over. That's great. Is that a Homeland Security drone? Or is that just the drone up in New Hampshire?

Because police are still investigating several reports of suspicious drone activity. Two residents reported a drone lingering outside a window. late at night. Who didn't see that coming? I mean, why not? You know, the peeping droned. Come on now. Come on.

Who didn't see that coming? What Silicon Valley needs to work on, and they're probably going to work it on for the government instead of you, is some sort of silencer device. So when it hovers, you can't hear it. So you just have that quiet, hovering, peeping drone. You know, the government probably already has it. What am I thinking about? Stupid.

Silicon Valley, this is, they've already got it. They're now they're advertising, hey, we've gone to Silicon Valley. It's already out there. We've been using it for a year now. Our silencer drones. It's the peeping Tom drones. You buy those in the dark web. The peeping Tom drones.

Not that I would ever, I would ever buy those. No way. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Not even close. Plus, you can't fly them. I mean, right now, unless you're the government, you can't really, well, you've got to be pretty close.

So, so, you can't really be far enough away to stay out of trouble. Chuck in Florida on the Blaze Radio Network and the Jeff Fisher Show. Hello, Mr. Chuck in Florida. How are you, sir? Greetings, Jeffrey. I'm great. How are you, sir? Fantastic in this, you know, 100-plus degree weather here in Irving, Texas.

It's just fabulous. We have similar weather in Florida. That's what's causing all the outbreaks of mosquito Zika virus down here. Yeah, we just talked a little bit about the Zika drones that they're putting out. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The Zika is that will kill, you know, the, Mutant.

So what else is happening? I saw it. I did see a couple of very interesting stories come out of your neck of the woods, by the way, in Tampa. Just the other day that made me think, you know, it might be time for you to leave that neck of the woods. You know, it's getting scary. Every time you walk around downtown here, there's some new weirdo that's got something he's peddling down there, whether it's another face-eating, flesh-eating zombie virus or what. Yeah, the one that really struck me this week was the Flamingo at Bush Gardens.

I guess Pinky, not the most original name for a flamingo, but was a longtime resident that they had in not exactly in the greatest of captivity areas. It's just kind of an open area with a few little guards around the fenced area there where people can get up close to them. Apparently some real jerk grabbed a hold of it and slammed it to the ground. causing severe injuries. Flamingos could be mean. They can be mean.

They can be. I've seen mean flamingos. Geese are far worse. However, you know, flamingos are generally, they keep to themselves. This one had been around people a lot, though. They took it out as what they call one of their animal ambassadors,

and they take it to, you know, kids' homes and nursing homes and stuff. It was the dancing one, right? Exactly. Yes. Flamingo. I mean, you know,

I remember. These are coming by. The Chalmingo exhibit down there is really cool, though. They've got a couple of hundred of them just milling around nearly out in the open. So, you know, they tend to be pretty docile. They're around people all the time. So this guy, I mean, is it dead? Did he kill it?

He injured it badly enough that they had to euthanize it, unfortunately. I'm really, I'm going to people down there. And I got the news alert in my email. And it was like, this. This is come back. This is really beyond the pale. He's a 45-year-old resident of Orlando who had a criminal record and looked a little bit mentally unstable from some of the comments. Like, oh, wow, I've never been to a Tampa jail before.

You know, yeah, well, guess what? So, yeah, this real winter apparently spent the night there and they had an arraignment the next morning. And the judge says, yeah, you know what, $5,000 bail. And if you can't come up with it, too bad, you're staying anyway. So he's still in jail, apparently. Good, good, good. He's a complete cretan. I understand there's some other story about

elicit marijuana in the Bay Area. Did I miss something? Really? Yes. I mean, I had thought you'd be all over it because now they're going to be able to sell it, right? A pot dispensary coming to Tampa. I hadn't heard that we're getting a pot dispensary.

I know they decriminalized. is in Florida now for medical use, and they had been selling it in Jacksonville, the first one opened up around there. They made their first delivery or whatever, first part of this week. But, no, I didn't hear Tampa was getting one. That'll bring some real interesting people to the neighborhood. Yeah, I mean, that's exciting news for you and your family. You'll be able to go out and have a good time. and it is opening in.

I just looked it up here because I saw it the other day. Atlanta-based company, Fowler Avenue. Fowler Avenue. Oh, my father. So that's not far from you. Well, it's closer to Bush Gardens than it is to me, but yeah, no, maybe through or four miles. I think they're going for the tourist impact, to be honest here, Jeff.

You know, the thing about criminal marijuana in Florida is now that they've produced this strain of really low THC, that has a lower impact. They're not allowed yet to really prescribe it, but they are taking doctors, what do they call it, a recommendation letter for, you know, pain alleviation or seizures or various treatments. But only use that it can be gotten for, so they say.

Are you saying that that's not true? Well, I wouldn't presume anything. I mean, you know, I wouldn't know where to prescribe or get a prescription or find a doctor willing to. In fact, honestly, the dispensary had a real problem in North Florida. It's still a federal crime, so doctors are not all that willing to prescribe it, and they won't put their signature down as a recommendation for legal pot use in Florida. Wow.

And then again, it's all. But the feds aren't cracking down on that. No, no. I mean, as far as I know, they haven't really been doing much of anything. The business in Colorado is booming. So is the munchy business, but, you know, I don't know that it's related. There has not been a study on that yet. Yeah, right.

The Twinkie factory reopened up just in time, you know. No kidding. All right, Chuck, chuckinflordia.com. We'll check it out. Chuckinflora.com. Have a good week. This also ties into, you know, with Chuck talking about the doctors hesitating to write prescriptions because it still is illegal.

But in New York, once again, you talk about the feds aren't cracking down. Police departments aren't cracking down. In New York, they're already worried that in Washington Park, they're already smoking crack and shooting heroin out in the open. People are actually getting concerned in New York because Washington Square is now wide open. They're not trying to hide it. They're not going someplace else to shoot up

and come back to the park, they're just sitting in the park and shooting up and smoking their crack and dealing their drugs. And the police are like, that's somebody else's problem. You know, the police are there.

And the police told one guy, we have the calm down, told the one guy, calm down, and noted that we have a department that's taking care of that. And that's not us. So, So, hey, good luck, good luck.

And what's even better, even better news, is that as the Parks Department realizes that these areas are just riddled with addicts and dope, you know what, we're not going to clean that area. It's too dangerous, so we're just going to leave it trashed and filthy and dirty. Have fun. Take your kids to the park. I love New York. Hey, communist, isn't a communist mayor de Blasio? Oh, that's right.

That's right. De Blasio is the charge of that city, the communist. And it's falling apart. Boy, that's a surprise to me. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show is on. That it is. 888-90-3-33-93 is the phone number.

Coming up immediately following this broadcast, Chris Salcedo, and then Mike Slater, and then Joe Pags, all on the Blaze Radio Network tomorrow. A little David Barton. I don't know if you have an opportunity. David's here at the Mercury Museum all weekend. He's been giving a, he had a couple tour, big tours yesterday, some VIP tours, and he'll be here showing some people around today.

Man is just a wealth of knowledge. My son, my 14-year-old son, Maximus, he could, if I let him, would follow David Barton around like a little dog. Just talk to me, tell me stuff. He loves him. So if you have an opportunity to let David show you around a little bit at the American Museum, don't say no to that. Liarsin Liberty.com. And then Bill Handel, Jackie D. A little gun talk, Hollywood 360, all around.

out the weekend on the Blaze Radio Network and then weekdays. Doc Thompson, Glenn Beck, Buck Sexton, Jay Severin, Patton, Stu. My gosh. Just saying it makes me think, why would you go anywhere else? I mean, it makes absolutely no sense that you would go anywhere else.

You can follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA. Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio. Yay! Yay! Scientists in Belgium. Transforming Europe. into beer.

Man, does that make me want to drink some beer? Man, does that make me want to drink some beer? I tell you what, I know, you know, last week we talked a little bit about milking the cockroaches. Yeah, boy, you know, milk from cockroaches is exciting news. But beer from urine? Yeah. Now you're talking. Now let's party.

Okay? You and me? Forget about it. They like to call it from sewer to brewer. The water from the process is completely safe to drink. I mean, my gosh, why are you thinking like that? We've already tested at a music festival. Oh, a music festival.

Nothing could go, I mean, everybody's fine at music festivals, right? Right. Now, they want to install their urine purification device in shopping, malls, sporting arenas, airports, and the ultimate goal is to bring clean water to rural areas and developing countries. Uh-huh. That's their ultimate goal. The other goal would be, hey, I'm going to install this in the mall

and get free urine and then we can make our beer. Yeah. Sewer to brewer. Yeah. Urine beer. Yeah. Now we're talking a party. Man, this beer tastes different.

What kind of beer is it? It's from Belgium. You know, Belgium beer. When you say Belgium beer, many people think one thing. I think another. Belgian beer, sewer to brewer.

Clean water for you. This is the Jeff Fisher show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. It was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program. Now. Life signs stable. It's alive.

Set it loose. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome to it. 888-903.33 is the phone number. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. You go to Liarsandliberty.com and check out the Mercury Museum going on here in Irving Tech. right now as we speak. I think the doors are opening.

I didn't go out there this break because I was looking through some things to, I want to go through some stories, some little known stories in honor of the Mercury Museum. One of the things that we don't have here at the museum that I would like to actually have, a photograph was found in a parking lot of a convenience store. The people pictured have never been found. They think it might be a 19-year-old girl who was kidnapped from her home in New Mexico and a boy who was kidnapped from the same area. It was found in Florida, although it's never been determined how the photo got there.

And those two people in the photo are still considered missing. And they are tied and bound in the photograph. I mean, it is freaky. So we don't have that here, though. We've got some dark stuff. some Nazi stuff. We've got some other history there, but we do not have that photograph here at this time, which is, you know, a little surprising. Just a tad. They didn't ask me what to bring, so I didn't. Slaves in Galveston, Texas. This is American historical fracts. Now, the title of the

story is freaky American historical facts, but some of these aren't really freaky. They're just weird. Because of the length of time. took information to travel back in the 1860s. There were slaves in Galveston who didn't find out about the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation until 1865. They found out on June 19th, which is now celebrated by Black Americans as Juneteenth, a celebration of the end of slavery. Six people killed in 1945 by a Japanese bomb sent over by a balloon.

The only American civilians killed in the continental United States during World War II were a woman in Oregon and five children who found a Japanese balloon in the woods. They didn't realize it was a bomb. It went off and killed all six. Astards. I mean, that's freaky. These in honor of the Mercury Museum here in Irving, Texas today. In 1842, Germany tried to establish a colony in Texas, an organization known as Adelsvrain, which means nobility in society. He tried to make a new Germany in Texas by buying 4,428 acres of land and settling German citizens there.

The plan failed after about 10 years due to debt. They had no money. Good luck. God bless. darn the luck. It didn't happen. President Millard Fillmore met his first wife, Abigail Powers, when she was his teacher. He was 19. she was 21.

They married about seven years later. Millard, Philmore. A little hot for teacher. I mean, that's freaky. Can I tell you? It's freaky. The Democratic Party's donkey symbol was adopted because someone called Andrew Jackson a jackass.

I mean, that's freaky, right? America's first serial killer. H.H. Holmes, serial killer, who lived during the time of Chicago's World Fair in 1893, operated a hotel that included rooms with secret gas lines so he could kill whoever was staying in them, and a room that was completely

sealed except for a trapdoor in the ceiling where he would starve people. This guy, H.H. H.H. Holmes, was a big time freak. If you haven't heard of him before, look it up because this guy, his story is weird. I mean, freaky, because these are

freaky American historical facts. that we're doing in honor of the Mercury Museum here in Irving, Texas. Venus fly traps are native only to North Carolina and South Carolina. The Venus flytrap cannot be found anywhere else in the world. That's freaky. The turtle was invented by David Bushnell. The turtle, what was the turtle? The first submarine attack that ever happened in America in 1776.

was a one-person submersible vehicle that would allow the occupant to attach a powder keg to a British ship in New York Harbor. Think about it. I mean, that's freaky. Americans in the Victorian area took photos of their dead loved ones after

photography was expensive when it was first invented so instead of thousand selfies most people only had one photo of themselves. So when a loved one died and you wanted to remember what they looked like. You might take a photo of their corpse, posed like they were still alive. So the pictures, the old pictures of you see of the old people sitting in a chair and you say yourself,

wow, they do not look good. Ah, they were dead. That's freaky. In 1950, a church in Nebraska exploded during choir practice. The West Side Baptist Church in Beatrice, Nebraska, exploded at 7.25 p.m. on March 1, 19. Normally choir practice started in 720, but all 15 members of the choir were running late. So the church was empty. Ah, some would say God was on their side.

I mean, that's freaky. Freaky American historical facts. Women drank beaver testicle potion as birth control. I'm guessing it worked. It's basically tea, except instead of plants, beaver testicles, were the things being steeped. Boy, does that sound good, huh? Makes that cockroach milk sound that much better. I mean, that's freaky.

That's what that is. Victorians made memorial jewelry out of parts of their dead loved ones. Oh, remember their lost family and friends from Victorians had jewelry made out of parts of their loved one bodies, including teeth, hair, and bone. Yeah, great. I mean, that's my grandpa's tooth. There's a piece of bone from my great, great, great, great grandfather. father's left leg. That's freaky.

You probably know this one, listening to the Blaze Radio Network, that John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day. What day was it? That's correct, July 4th. July 4th, 1776. Not exactly 50 years later in 1826. President Warren G. Harding wrote highly graphic, erotic, letters to his mistress, Carrie Phillips.

Did you know that? It would be nice to have those. We don't have those letters here at the Mercury Museum today. We don't have the Warren G. Harding, erotic letters here at the Mercury Museum today. Maybe next time. President Lyndon B. Johnson once pulled out his penis during an interview. He's not a douche. Let him tell you why.

Just know that he did. Agonizing. I mean, that's freaky. in 1918, one of the worst train wrecks in U.S. history involved a circus train. A train engineer fell asleep at the wheel and drove into the back of another train. Happened to be a circus train. 86 people died. Wow.

The Strongman Act, a trapeze artist. Wow. Down a couple of acts of the next event. I mean, that's freaky. Freaky facts in honor of the Mercury Museum today. A guy wrote a book about a ship called The Titan crashing into an iceberg. 14 years before the Titanic. Morgan Robertson's 1898 book tells the story of a British ship called The Titan,

which was deemed to be unsinkable, that hit an iceberg and sank. Wow. Killing many of the passengers because there weren't enough lifeboats. 1912, that's unbelievable. We should actually have that book here at the Mercury Museum, and we don't. That book should be here. I joke around about the erotic letters from Warren G. Harding, which, you know, whatever. I mean, I'd read through them.

But we should definitely have that. And we don't, because that's freaky. We don't have freaky stuff. Dentures used to be made of teeth of dead soldiers. Man, does that make me like Dennis even better? The corpse's teeth would be removed, then placed in artificial gums for use by living people. Civil War soldiers' teeth were frequently used in this way. Yay!

I mean, that's freaky. Freaky is what that is. The man who tried to save President Licken from being assassinated later killed his wife and himself. I don't know why that's freaky, but it just is. Just weird trivia. Union Army Major Henry Rathbone and his wife, Clara, were the other two people in the box with Lincoln and his wife the day the Lincoln was assassinated. Rathbone actually tried to stop.

John Wilkes Boothin got stabbed in the process and also went a little crazy. So crazy, in fact, that he killed his wife 18 years later. Oh, maybe that's why he couldn't stop him because he was a wuss. John Wilkes kicked his butt. I mean, that's freaky. James Smithsonian, no, James Smithson, the founder of the Smithsonian Institution, is buried at the Smithsonian Employees of a Smithsonian. said they've seen Smithson ghost wandering the halls of the famed Washington, D.C.

museum to the point where in 1973, the Institute did a study of the Smithson's casket and remains to make sure everything was okay. But the ghost really doesn't have anything to do with the whole casket thing. I know if you know that, it's a misodian. I mean, that's weird, weird, weird, weird, freaky, these are freaky stories. Freaky American historical facts. that you can use Liberty Island used to be a haven for pirates

and might be haunted of what more ghosts in 1892 two soldiers stationed at the fort that used to occupy Liberty Island tried to dig up some treasure they'd heard was buried nearby. When they got to the box, a demon appeared to them.

Most likely the spirit of Captain Kidd, a pirate who liked to bury his treasure there. That's freaky. That is what that is. That is freaky. We're doing these freaky stories in honor of the Mercury Museum today here in Irving, Texas, at the Mercury Studios. Parents who gave up their children often gave them a token so they could identify them later.

In the 17th and 18th century. Boy, you know, hearing these stories makes me want to be so, boy, do I wish I was born in the 17th and 18th? Oh, man, do I wish I was part of the 17th and 18th century? Many parents who were too poor to care for their children left them at the hospital. to be raised in work homes. They're not calling them slaves. They're work homes. That's good.

They sometimes gave their kids a little token like a button or a locket so they would know them later in life or in death. That's great. Carry this button with you at all times. When you're working for the king and making castles and doing whatever the hell he tells you to do, look at the button and remember, I left you there. Yeah, that's great. The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper. The official copy of the Declaration.

and still survives today was written on parchment, which is treated animal skin. But a couple of drafts of the declaration were written on hemp. In fact, up to 90% of all paper made before 1883 was made of hemp. We don't have any of hemp declaration of independence here at the old Mercury Museum today. I don't have that one. I haven't seen the hemp Declaration of Independence here at the Mercury Museum. The last time the Liberty Bell was rung was on George Washington's birthday in 1846.

George had been dead for almost 50 years, but that's the last time that it was wrong. Did you know this? Approximately 35 million Americans shared DNA with at least one person who was on the Mayflower. I mean, that's freaky. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Jeff Fisher. That it is, in honor of the Mercury Museum today in Dallas, Texas, Irving Texas, here at the Mercury Studios.

I'm doing some, well, this is called Freaky American Historical Facts, and some of them are freaky, and some of them aren't so freaky. but I want to get through these because some of them are actually, some of them are a fascinating. John Quincy Adams went for a skinny dip in the morning. He liked to take a quick and nude skinny dip in the morning. John Quincy Adams, nice of him. In 1784, some citizens in North Carolina voted to secede from the state, naming their new state Franklin in honor of the good old man. Sadly for the Franklinites, Congress couldn't let Franklin join the union. It continued as an independent republic for a few years, but eventually got absorbed in two.

Tennessee. In 17, in 1974, 1974, Sarasota, Florida, a reporter, Christine Chubbick, took out a revolver and killed herself on live television. Wow.

In keeping with Channel 40's policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts and in living color, you are going to see another first attempted suicide, then shot herself behind her right here. Wow.

We do not have that gun here either at the Mercury Studios. A few women disguised themselves as men to fight in the Revolutionary War. One such notable woman, Deborah Sampson of Sharon, Massachusetts, who served 17 months in the Army and at one point removed a musket ball from her own thigh so that she would not be discovered to be a woman. That's a tough lady. And that's freaky. Right?

Right. journalist I.W. Wells once bit a railroad conductor on the hand. In 1884, a conductor was attempting to force Wells to give up her train seat to a white man. She refused. She later sued the railroad company and won. Good for her. Good for her. It's a clock here.

I've got to start editing through some of these. Johns Hopkins wouldn't admit Al Capone to their hospital at the end of his life because of his criminal past? That's freaky. The gangster was extremely ill with syphilis. The famed medical center said that, no. No, you know what, Al, no. So he got cared for at the Union Memorial Hospital, which he then donated two Japanese weeping cherry trees in gratitude.

Isn't that special? Those are our weeping cherry trees from Al Capone. When she was 19 years old, the future first later shocked everyone in polite society by posing for an ad on the arm of a man who wasn't even a relative. Her family immediately sent her to Europe as punishment. Julia Gardner Tyler, President John Tyler's wife. It was a scandal posed for an advertisement for a department store.

Now the FTC must have been looking into her. Francis Folsom, Cleveland, wife of President Grover, Cleveland, 27 years younger than her husband. I'm getting to like Grover a little bit more. Amelia Earhart slept in her pilot's jacket for three nights to make it look weathered. Now, we do have one of Amelia Earhart's jackets here at the museum here today. I just looked at it a little bit ago. Harry Tubman, actually a spy for the Army before she was a figure in the Underground Railroad.

She was actually the first woman black or white to lead an armed expedition in the Civil War. Loan Ranger may have been inspired by a real-life black U.S. Marshal. Huh? And then, of course, the young Hugh Heffner. Playboy bunnies are named after Hugh's favorite college bar. Campus bar called Bunnies Tavern. Bunnies Tavern. And Hugh Heffner's place is still kind of up for sale. They're up for a try to make a deal for the Playboy Mansion.

I'm still good. I'm still good. The billionaire businessman who's trying to buy it is kind of saying, hey, it's still a deal. but I is not nothing has been signed in ink yet I could still get the mansion yeah boy do I want that thing the Jeff Fisher show a blaze radio network is the Jeff Fisher show welcome to it 888 9000 33 93 is the phone number if you wish to participate in the broadcast however you do not have to and you can you can tweet me at at jeffy mRA you uh you

Hey, don't look at me like that. So I lost, you know, I don't know, I don't have the timeline in front of me, but it was four or five years. And then, well, it's been about four years. So three and a half years, something like that, I lost well, over 100 pounds. And then, you know, you slowly get back on it and you, you know, the lifestyle change becomes not so much of a lifestyle change. Stop looking at me like that. Do you know what I'm

talking about? And, you know, the next thing, you know, you've, you know, you've packed down a few more pounds. Now, I'm not even close to where I was. But it's time to stop. It's time to stop.

Tell me it doesn't sound good. And then you get through that. And I think to myself, well, you know, after all that, and I think, you know, I've got to lose some weight. And I'm starting to, I've got to do this. And it's, I'm thinking. Okay, well, that's good. No problem. I've got to lose some weight.

I'm good. I'm feeling good. It's been like five days. I've been strong. Today is Saturday, right? So we're looking six days. Six days of goodness, being strong and starting to lose weight. And then I see this story on the interwebs.

And I think, oh, no. Oh, no. I might have, I think I have this sickness. You know how you read stuff on the internet, on the interwebs about illnesses? and you think, oh my gosh, I have that. Yes, that's exactly the way I feel about this. Malnutrition. Number one is weakness.

General weakness and increased feelings of fatigue. Anemia, constant supply of new blood to sustain life. Anemia is a condition in which the body's ability to produce red blood cells is impaired. Maybe. Infection since malnutrition takes a toll on every bodily function can result in greatest success. susceptibility to infection. Yes. Mood changes. Yes. Delayed healing.

Yes. Skin and hair. Excessive dryness of both skin and hair may occur as a result of malnutrition. The body is in credibility to prioritize how it will make use of the dwindling nutritional stores. And when nutrition the body has to use, it will be diverted away from non-essential functions and keep both skin and hair healthy. See? What about unpredictable elimination? and then there's always depression. Mood chain, lack of proper nutrients.

Yeah. So, I mean, it's possible. Possible that I have, you know, I could, the signs, with these signs, it's possible that I've had malnutrition. But how can you get, hold on, what I do with that, how can you get malnutrition? If you were to sit down and you were to go to Buffalo Wild Winds, which might happen sooner than you think,

and order the dessert nachos crispy flour tortilla sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar loaded with ice cream and our gooey breaded cheese steak bites all topped with chocolate and caramel sauce. Why? Why are those not sitting in front of me right now? Here we go! This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.

Liars or Liarsor Liberty.com. Liars or Liberty.com. I'll tweet that up, but get here if you can. Schedules are there.

You can see the museum. It is absolutely amazing, the stuff that we have in this museum. I don't know how much money they have in these things. I mean, there's millions of dollars worth of stuff here. And some of it is just, I don't know any other word to say that amazing or unbelievably because you see something. I was standing there this morning and I'm looking at, I'm looking at, you know, the Mayflower Bible. And then you'd see the hat. And these are all, you know, this is all original.

And then you go down and you see the deed for, you know, from George Washington. And there's, and every time you go say, wow, you think, wow, that is so cool. I haven't seen. and then you go to the next one, and there's something else really cool. And you keep going, you know, that's really,

there's something else. And have we seen it? Oh, this is something else. So if you have an opportunity to get here, if not look for, you know, we'll try to put together something,

some sort of, oh, I don't know, maybe a picture book. Never know. Something about. Look, they're filming everything out there. So there could be definitely a virtual tour.

Don't kid yourself. And Glenn, I wouldn't be surprised to see Glenn do a Facebook live of everything. I know he interviewed the 101-year-old guy that was here yesterday. He's coming back tonight for the dinner. He was amazing at 101. He's leaving for Japan in a couple of days. He invited us all to one of his places that he lives at.

And I told, you know, I'm like, there's no way. I'm looking at this guy. There's no way. I'm not even 1001. Aha. That's funny. Funny is what that is in 101. So how do you feel about nudist beaches?

Do you ever think to yourself, you know, maybe not? Well, more than a third of British men say they would consider sunbathing naked on the beach. So nudist beaches are not a joke anymore. naked, friendly holiday searches are up 50 cents. 50 percent. I'm sorry, 50 cents. They're up 50 cents. It costs you 50 cents more to go to the nudist beach.

They're up 50 percent this year. Think of that. Think of that. Reportedly getting an all-over-tanned is the most popular reason to bear all on the beach. 42% of the vote. 21% do it to reconnect with nature. Uh-huh. Andrew Welch, a British natureism.

the UK's organization of nature has said, we know that people are far more willing to try social nudity, and so it's great to have confirmation that more and more of us are letting go of any hang-ups and are feeling comfortable in the skin we're in. For those visiting nature's nudist beach for the first time, the best advice is to relax, enjoy the sensation of the sun, breeze, and sea on your whole body, and realize that no one is worried about how you look, except for you. That was me, not him.

Britons appear to be the most adventurous when they're younger, with 52% of the 18 to 24-year-old saying they would consider a nudist holiday. Well, yeah. Come on now. You're 18 to 24 years old. Would it go someplace where you're going to be nude? Yeah. By the over-fifety-fives aren't far behind with a whopping 38% of green because by the time you hit over 55,

you're like, eh, this is what you get. But there is this for you from... fact on Twitter, people see you as 20% more attractive than you think you are. So there's that. People see you as 20% more attractive than you think you are. Huh? I mean, there's that. So when I tell you that you look good today, 20% of that is absolutely true.

absolutely true I don't know that helps any of that This is the Jeff Fisher Show Only on the Blaze Radio Network
