You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The founder of this company 10 years ago was trying to sell his house and went through real estate agent after real estate agent. And they were all talking a great game. And this guy who is selling his house, the founder of this company, he's kind of an important guy and should get the best treatment. And he said to his wife, if this is what it's like for us, how do people who have no clout ever get around this? So he started a company and it went into business, I think, three years ago. Their deal is, their word is their bond. And they are just like you.

Now, how can I say that? Because I'm the founder of the company. We have 1,000 agents across the country and they are people that listen to the show. And so when you go through real estate agents I trust, it's sent to somebody who already, you already know their sensibilities. They already are cut from exactly the same cloth. There's got to be a better way. There is.

Real estate agents, I trust.com. Now I need your help. I need your help in understanding something, okay? Making someone who is a man use the man's restroom and a woman use the woman's restroom is wrong. making someone who is a man use a restroom that's entitled men and making someone who is a woman use a restroom entitled women is bad because why again oh that's right because if I feel like I'm a woman and I'm a man I should be able to use the woman. I should be able to use the women's bathroom. If I feel

that I'm a man and I'm a woman, I should be able to use the men's bathroom. Is that about right? I summed that up about right? Because I've about had it with this transgender agonizing agonizing argument. Okay. They've already

they've already shut down some colleges in their ever present, hey, the bathrooms are for anyone because of, oh my gosh, they had people in there with cameras. Huh. Do you mean that people weren't all honest? Weird.

Do you think they're still going to be honest? Yes, of course they are. It's stupid of me to think that. Stupid. So all these states banning specific travel to North Carolina and Mississippi and making a stand calling it, it's like slavery, it's civil war, we're fighting the good fight. Uh-huh. I mean, it was the Connecticut guy, right?

about it being it being just akin to slavery. Uh-huh. And PayPal. Love them. They've decided not to expand their offices of North Carolina.

It costs about 400 jobs and millions of dollars. But hey, no worries because they still do work in Saudi Arabia Oh, what? Saudi Arabia.

Oh, yeah. They, my gosh, they are so, so open caring. Oh, wait, and Malaysia. They still have offices in Malaysia too? Oh, yeah. Yeah, those two places are great for the gays.

for the transgendered, for the LGBT world. They love all of those people, all of them in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. Right? Oh, wait. No. No, no, no, no, no, they don't. Huh. And I bet if you live in North Carolina, this is what drives me.

I bet if you live in North Carolina, you can still use Pennsylvania. PayPal if you want. Huh. That's how much they're making a stand. Springsteen canceled his show. His comment, look, it's the strongest means I have for raising my voice in opposition to those who continue to push us backwards instead of forwards, says Bruce Springsteen. Right, Bruce. Yeah, you being on stage in front of thousands of people making it known how you feel about a certain thing. that isn't as much as you'd make it a stand not showing up for a concert, right? Right. Because of the bathroom law, the HB2 in North Carolina, the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act,

it dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use. Oh, my, the horror! I can't use a bathroom that I feel like you. I am so discriminated again. Sure I can, sure, sure, sure I can use a bathroom. Sure, nobody's stopping me from using a bathroom. Sure, I'm not getting beheaded or caned out of the street or being who I am. but if I feel

tomorrow, like if I feel like I'm a woman, I can't use the women's bathroom. Unless, of course, I dress up like a woman and just go in the women's bathroom and don't say anything and go in the stall and go to the bathroom and then come out. Because there's probably all kinds of police around every bathroom in North Carolina

or in the country. Wait, there's not? Oh, wait, no, there has to be because that's the only way. I'm pretty sure they don't have bathroom police, at least as of today. Right? So all this time, when you were out,

let me ask you something, when you're out about, you're out shopping, then you stop into a target. And you're walking around target. And you see a person in a dress in high-heel shoes or flats, and you look and you go, man, that really kind of looks like a guy. But, hey, what does it matter?

That is wearing a dress. He's got heels on. He's got flats or whatever they're wearing a jacket. And he's acting like a female. And he's walking around. And man, that looks like a guy, Adam Zappell and all. But, oh, well, you move on because you're looking for a pair of shoes. And that person is over there in the appliance.

section or whatever. So you go up front and you're at the cash register's and you're checking out and you see this person who you think is a man, but wear an address, high heel, go into the woman's bathroom. Now, do you, A, call the bathroom police because you think, oh my gosh, that person is a man and should be in the man's bathroom, or B, continue to cash out at the register and go about your daily life and not worry about it. I choose B.

Now, is that wrong and could that person get in trouble for that? Absolutely. In North Carolina and Mississippi. If they haven't had the gender reassignment surgery and are still listed as a male on their identification. Right? So technically, they get in trouble. 99.9% of the time, no trouble.

So what's the problem? Well, they're still breaking the law, Jeff. Uh-huh. Well, no, not really. Because they're active. The letter of the law and what they're trying to accomplish is something else.

Right? If I'm dressed up like a guy and I just go into the women's bathroom, That's a problem. And to use, hey, I just feel like a girl today as the excuse? No. Now, I know. I know I'm walking a weird, a weird line.

I know. I've seen uphand and close a struggle of a person going through a change from female to male. I watched the struggle. And I loved, I was still the same person technically at the end of the process, just that she always believed that she was a he. And so they went through this process. It's a long process and it's so difficult, so hard. And it's hard because she would live her life as a male almost everywhere.

but since she was hired to work for me as a female, she had to just kind of be as close to a female as she could when she was working. And it was such a struggle that at some point you just have to decide. And we reached it. At that one point you reach, I'm no longer that female now. I'm not Betty, I'm Bill. and these dangleberries, some dangleberries at this place of employment are still going to call me Betty.

Because that's who I work. But really, I'm Bill out in the real world. And it's long and it's tedious and it's expensive. I don't know. I don't know how you do it. I don't know how you do it. Now, this person, Bill now, is. amazing. The life

that he wanted to live is now being lived. I mean, it's unbelievable and I'm really happy for him. Her, him, her, him. But for the most part, the struggle is bad.

Right? Real bad. And we hear about that all the time. And there was a story there was a story last month from the American College of Pediatricians talking about well we'll get into that. I'll tell you that story

because remember the stories that we have that we've talked about where the parents say that their child is a boy. I know that she was born a girl but she's a he and we're letting him live that way

or he was born a boy and always thought that he was a girl, so we're letting him be a her. And yeah, we know he's only three, but that's the way it goes. Well, the American College of pediatricians disagree. Here we go.

This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The founder of this company 10 years ago was trying to sell his house. and went through real estate agent after real estate agent, and they were all talking a great game. And this guy who is selling his house, the founder of this company, he's kind of an important guy and should get the best treatment. And he said to his wife, if this is what it's like for us,

how do people who have no clout ever get around this? So he started a company and it went into business, I think, three years ago. Their deal is, their word is their bond. and they are just like you. Now, how can I say that? Because I'm the founder of the company. We have 1,000 agents across the country, and they are people that listen to this show,

and so when you go through real estate agents I trust, it's sent to somebody who already, you already know their sensibilities. They already are cut from exactly the same cloth. There's got to be a better way. There is. Real estate agents, I trust.com.
