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. Something to look forward to today is the big ivory burn in Nairobi Kenria going on today. And it says the ceremonial burning in Nairobi National Park at noon will be attended. So it's either already happening, already burning, and it started burning a couple hours ago. Or it's noon eastern. because all the East Coast stations in New York are still running the story, which would make it, which I find hard to believe, because then it would be what, six hours from now,

so 8 o'clock at night in Kenya? Well, that'd be kind of cool to see the burn at night in Kenya. So maybe that's when it is. So you can look forward to looking for that throughout the day today, today. Sometime today, the big ivory burn. Tusks from more than 6,000 illegally killed elephants will be burned in Kenya today. And you see the photos and the videos of them stacking them up. It's fascinating to see them.

It's millions of dollars worth of ivory. And Kenya says it's not worth anything to us. 105 tons of elephant ivory, 1.35 tons of rhino horn, exotic animal skins, and other products such as sandalwood and medicinal bark. The destruction of illicit wildlife goods dwarfs anything similar that has been done before. Wow. Tusses from about 8,000 elephants, rhino horns, and a monkey skin. going up and smoke, baby, up and smoke today. So look forward to the video. That'll be a fascinating video to watch if you're a, you know,

if you're a pyro freak. I mean, I'm not. I'll be watching for, you know, because it's news. It's not that I just love watching things burn. Wow. Okay. All right. Thanks for that.

It'll be fun. It'll be fun to watch the ivory burn. No doubt about that. It may, you know, it might be even. live on the Kenyan Facebook page. You never know. I know they're a little busy in Kenya. I mean, the president's going to be there to light the torch,

but they've got the building that they're rescuing people underneath that just fell down. It rained a little bit. Oh, the building will fall. So if there's any argument for government regulations, that might be one. I know. I know. I'm not big on it, but it just might be, you know, maybe we need some regulations from the building.

Because you don't see a lot of that, I don't know, here in the U.S. On the other hand, maybe the next time they build the building, it'll be a little bit better because no one really wants the building to fall. And in other elephant news, and other elephant news, Ringling Brothers, and we've talked about it on this broadcast before, giving up their elephants, and today is the last day. of the Ringling Brother in Barnum and Bailey Circus Elephants. They'll perform today, and that's it.

They're done. They're performing in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. I said today, tomorrow. Oh, my gosh. You can still see them today. It's tomorrow. I apologize. The elephant tusk burn is today.

The last day for the elephants for the Ringling Brother in Barnum and Bailey Circus is tomorrow. Sorry. Okay. Sorry. Now, I guess they're going to, you know, you'll be able to see it live on their Facebook page, their last final show. So you can go there and check that out of the final show. I might actually do that. It might be worth a watch. And then off to Florida they go.

Now, I find it interesting that Florida has. Drought conditions. Has had drought conditions for years. And they are always crying poor for water. They're pushing for the desal plant to work and be cranking out more. But yeah, that's what we can't have that because of the environment. We've got the desal plant cooking out the salt. And we've got, they're digging, building like crazy.

And that's because the sinkholes and the water holes and things are dropping down. And we need water, water, water, drought, drought, drought. And yet, water-loving elements use 80 gallons of water a day, drinking and bathing. So they're bringing in more elephants to Central Florida that use 80 gallons of water a day. It would just seem, I don't know, a little strange. Crying for drought. I mean, nobody, I don't want the elephants to die a thirst. just seems strange as all.

But I guess really what's strange is that on that property that the elephants are on, if they could build hotels housing, you know, 8 billion people that use a heck of a lot more than 80 gallons of water a day, they would. So on the other hand, it's good that the elephants are there. But they're retiring. It's going to be strange without the Ringling Brother Barton Bailey without the elephants. I mean, the elephants is the iconic part of the circus, right? No, Jeff. It's the clowns and the other acts.

Uh-huh. No, it is. It's the lions and the tigers. Uh-huh. When they stand up on the horses and ride around in circles, that's what they're there for. Uh-huh. When the elephants come out, it's really no big deal, although it's the biggest deal of the circus. That's correct. But it really isn't important, and it's more safe to have the elephants, you know, back at the farm in Florida,

and then touring and making money for this company. Oh, okay. Good luck to Ringling Brother in Barnum and Bailey Circus without the elephants. Good luck. Now, quick on the Prince update. Of course, you knew it was going to happen. They're all over the Prince story with his drug addiction and the opioids. And was there an special doctor involved?

And was he getting prescriptions? And was he going to credit? Did he have illegal drugs or prescribed drugs? And he had opioid. I am so sick and tired of hearing about the issue of opioid addiction. I cannot tell you. If you are in pain and you're taking opioids, yes, you are going to be addicted. There's a line.

Of course you're going to be addicted. It's stupid to think that your body isn't going to need it. Do I think that if you don't need it, you should have it? No. If you don't need it, you're not going to get it. I just don't... We have medication that will help you not have pain. I get there's abuses. There's abuses to everything. I got it. We have a medication that relieves the pain in the human body.

Now, when you take that medication, your body will become addicted to it. But it will help you be out of pain. So we want you to be out of pain. Not really because your body might become addicted to it. So we don't want you to become addicted to it. So you can't take the medications. It'll make you feel better. Now, there's a new drug on the street.

Speaking of that, what heck is it called? W-18. W-18, it's a new synthetic painkiller drug developed in Canada. Then the Chinese started making it. So it's making its way back into this hemisphere from China through Canada. supposed to be more potent than morphine than the other opioids. It's synthetic. And it's not illegal because it hasn't been tested by anyone.

So if it's in the states, the problem is that they're finding it here in the states cut with heroin and cocaine, which, of course, is illegal. But the W-18 is not. So if you could just get a hold of the W-18, you'd be okay, at least for a while. And it's supposed to be more potent, a bunch of thousands of times more potent than the morphine. I mean, it's really, it's really strange on how potent it's supposed to be. And they're saying that it's less addictive. It was Canada 84.

Then they didn't make it that's put on the shelf. And, you know, I'm sure they got scared. And so then the Chinese chemist found it, started developing it. And it's 10,000 times stronger than morphine, according to the story. Whether that's true or not, I mean, don't know that. But they found two and a half pounds in Florida. I miss Florida. Now see where he got into trouble with.

They found this W-18 with this Florida guy, but he goes to prison because he was smuggling fentanyl and probably other things. But what he went to prison for was for smuggling fentanyl from China. So if he had just kept the W-18, it'd have been fine because it's not legal and it wouldn't have been smuggling. But now they're concerned because there's a new drug of W-18. So just beware, okay?

Just beware. It's all I'm saying. Just beware. So a couple of million-dollar ideas came out this week, and I found it fascinating. One million-dollar idea was from our very own Glenn Beck. He came up with an idea that I thought was great. And within that idea, he came up, he gave another prediction, which brought out another idea in my head that I thought, okay, I like that. That's another million-dollar idea.

His idea was the bathroom store. right? We're having such a big deal about the bathrooms and how about that, huh? I hope we have time to get to that because that whole bathroom thing is driving me crazy. But, you know, be sure, boycott whoever you want to boycott. Don't go wherever you want to go. Do business with who you want to do business with, okay? Just know that who you're dealing with. That's all I ask. Important. Know who you're dealing with.

And if you go into a place that allows anyone to use, any bathroom and I'm at that establishment. I will be in the restroom with my children, specifically my daughter, and I will be standing there identifying as a female in the female bathroom as my daughter uses the restroom. And let's please question me on that, please. It's okay, because at the time that I'm in the bathroom with my daughter and she's going to the restroom, I'm identifying as a. female at that time. So leave me alone, that having been said. Glenn's idea was a bathroom

store. So the store itself is just a bathroom store where you use, you go in and you have private bathrooms and you pay to use the private bathrooms, a million dollar idea, right? A million dollar idea. And that goes to Stu's plan of one bathroom, one person, one bathroom, his plan, which, you know, I don't disagree with it all. One person, one bathroom, you're fine. But the million-dollar idea of the bathroom store I love. Now, they do have the traveling bathrooms, and not the porta-potties,

but they actually do have a bend in where they bring in the, it's like a trailer that has really nice bathrooms. They park the trailer, hook it up, and they, you know, it's a porta-pottie, all-inclusive, trailer, but they're really nice. And I'm sure those only cost $18 billion a day to wheel them in, but

I have seen them. I've used them and they're really nice. So those are available as well to use for events. Within his little talk of bathroom store inside malls, his idea was that malls will be dead

in 10 years. No more malls. Because people are buying things online or separate stores or what have you. But that brought out an interesting idea. Where we talked last week about ESPN broadcasting drone racing, right? And how they were going to have the big events here in the U.S. And they were going to be broadcasting it, the drone races.

What else could you use the malls for? What else could you use the malls for? Oh, I know. Dron racing. You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. 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.

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.
