Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the Blaze Radio on demand. 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 a thousand 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
Starting point is 00:00:51 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.ITrust.com. The experiment was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program. Now. Stand clear. Life signs stable. It's alive. Set it loose. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. In the opening session of the World Economic Forum's meeting in Davos this past January, founder and executive chairman, Klaus Schwab said, We must develop a comprehensive and globally shared view of how technology is affecting our lives
Starting point is 00:01:59 and reshaping our economic, social, cultural, and human environments. There has never been a time. of greater premise or greater peril. When I go down the headlines of where we're headed, robotically, and virtual reality world, I know there's a line between the two, but they're both walking down the same road. When you look at some of the headlines that we have talked about,
Starting point is 00:02:43 robots taking jobs, killer robots, In November, we talked about the sexy robot that was displayed. We talked about robots taking jobs. Machines could put more than half the world's population out of a job in the next 30 years. According to computer scientists who said that artificial intelligence threat to the economy should not be understated. Expert Mashi Vardi told the American Association for the Advancement of Science, we're approaching a time when machines will be able to outperform
Starting point is 00:03:26 humans at almost any task. Society needs to confront this question before it is upon us. Maybe late, too late. If machines are capable of doing almost any work that humans can do, what will humans do? Physicist Stephen Hawking and tech billionaires,
Starting point is 00:03:50 Bill Gates and Elon Musk, issued a similar warning last year. A Hawking warning that AI could spell the end of the human race and must said it represents our biggest existential threat. Vardy predicted that driving will be almost fully automated in the next 25 years and as for all the benefits of the technology, what can humans do when machines can do almost everything? He predicted that automation's effect on unemployment
Starting point is 00:04:20 would have huge political consequences and lamented that leaders have largely ignored it. We're in the presidential election, election year and this issue is just nowhere on the radar screen. Humanity is about to face perhaps its greatest challenge ever, which is finding meaning in life after the end of, in the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread. We need to rise to the occasion and meet this challenge. Walking the line between the pessimists and the optimists. Martin Ford, author of Rise of the Robots, Technology and the threat of a jobless future, suggested that automation will come down to politics,
Starting point is 00:05:07 telling National Geographic that if scientists and governments don't address the issue for lots of people who are not economically at the top, it's going to be pretty dystopian. But all that news. And we have the headlines of robots taking all the jobs, right? And in fact, in this particular story, that you talk about robots leaving half the world unemployed. It talks about it's not going to matter. Physically powerful machines that outperform human laborers, but rather a contest between human wit and mechanical intelligence and strength.
Starting point is 00:06:01 In China, this story was from February. In China, the question has already affected thousands of jobs. As electronic manufacturers, Foxconn and Samsung among them developed precision robots to replace human workers. Okay. That in February. We know about, when you think about robots taking jobs, we see it all the time in the automotive industry. And we see, you've seen the videos at the Amazon warehouses in any warehouse across America now that have, you know, the robots picking up packages and delivering them to the trucks.
Starting point is 00:06:39 but in China they actually had robots as servers, drones. Three restaurants that had just robots serving people have now engaged in mass robot firings, which would mean just shutting them off. Two formerly robot-employing restaurants have closed down entirely and the remaining one has fired all but one of their non-human staff members. The boss and his compatriots originally hired the droids to save money. After an upfront investment, robot workers are much less expensive than humans
Starting point is 00:07:22 because they don't actually have to pay them. And they anticipated that it would draw thousands of customers because of the robot servers. But even the hippest, cheapest worker isn't worth it if it can't do the job. The robots weren't able to carry soup or other food steady. one of their one of their co-workers talked about it can't take orders or pour hot water for customers
Starting point is 00:07:49 huh so we've got a little ways to go before that right right now one of the things that we all
Starting point is 00:08:10 think as either weird or good are the sex robots Right. I mean, that actually is what is leading this revolution. Now, the military robots, the serving robots, the work robots are all there, and they all talk about it, and they all are big news. And yes, we love using it and we love talking about the military robots, the killer robots. How are they going to do it?
Starting point is 00:08:42 Countries all over the world are trying to stop the most powerful. powerful countries from using robots and using robots to take over other countries and fight each other. But the sex robots are what everybody really is all wound up about. We talked about the November sexy robot displayed. Well, now they're doing studies about this is, now, you have the robots that they're so happy about the sexy robot displayed. But when you see it, you think, Maybe not so much. And we talked about the robots that have the heaters in the chest that warm up.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I mean, they're almost robotic sex dolls, really. Just, you know, put a battery in them and they call them a robot. But they really are trying to make it as human as possible. And it's kind of weird. when I saw the story about arousal touching robots, it showed how they're working on developing the robots so that it makes it close to human. And it is really kind of, I don't know, weird.
Starting point is 00:10:26 When you watch the video, and I'll tweet it out at Jeff E.MRA and Facebook at Jeff Fisher Radio, you'll see that when they have the robot, well, you know what, I'm going to play the video, and you can listen to the audio of the video, but when you watch the video with the audio, when you click on the link, you'll see that when they touch it, they don't,
Starting point is 00:10:50 it's just a quick tap. It's not really a touch like you would think of a touch on another human being. It's just a tap. And yet, they still talk about the arousal. from the humans. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:11:07 But here's the audio from the video of the testing of touching the robot. The experiment consisted of instructions spoken by the robot followed by 26 trials. Each trial had three parts. The robot asks the participant to touch it. The participant touches it. The robot teaches the participant the medical term for that body part. Hello. In this exercise we'll be thinking about voting.
Starting point is 00:11:32 vocabulary for parts of the body. Sometimes I'll ask you to touch my body and sometimes I'll ask you just to point to my body. When I ask you to touch me, please touch me with your dominant hand. When I ask you to point at me, please point at me with your dominant hand. Please keep your other hand on the sensor. Okay, let's get started. Oh boy. Please touch my hand.
Starting point is 00:12:03 See, I need to just tap it. This is the hand. It is referred to as the parable region. We repeated this process with 13 body parts. Please touch my ear. Let's just tap the ear. This is the ear. It is referred to as the eotic region.
Starting point is 00:12:27 It's all educational doubt. It's all educational doubt. It's low accessibility like the buttocks. Please touch my buttocks. Touch. This is the buttox. It is referred to as the glute peel region. physiological arousal was inversely related to body accessibility
Starting point is 00:12:44 but your body is just touching a robot okay thank you we've got a little ways to go but they're definitely definitely trying and one of the things that will help move this along on my Facebook page a friend one of the people who you know I see their posts.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Posted on his Facebook page, being in charge of the hiring at my job has taught me a few things. One, millennial worth work ethic blows. Two, everyone walks around with a phone glued to their effing hand and ear at all times
Starting point is 00:13:31 except when an employment opportunity comes knocking. Three, younger people have zero sense of how to dress, show up on time or conduct themselves during an interview. Please be better at this millennials. Don't be everything that people are saying you are. In the opening session of the World Economic Forum's meeting in Davos this past January, founder and executive chairman, Klaus Schwab said, we must develop a
Starting point is 00:14:09 comprehensive and globally shared view of how technology is affecting our lives and reshaping our economic, social, cultural, and human environments. There has never been a time of greater promise or greater peril. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the police 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, you know, He's kind of an important guy and should get the best treatment.
Starting point is 00:15:03 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 a thousand agents across the country. And they are people that listen to this show.
Starting point is 00:15:27 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. The Jeff Fisher Show returns on the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome to it. 888-903 is the phone number.
Starting point is 00:16:04 You can follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA. Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, Instagram, Jeff E.MRA. Thanks for coming along for the ride today. Thank you to Brad Stags for last week. I was down in Houston last week for the first time I'd ever been in Houston before. And so many, the only person that likes Houston in, you know, I mean, as a place that they would consider living is the co-host with me on the Glenn Beck program is Pat Gray. And so I was fortunate enough to go with him, and I'm told that he, I don't know, poisoned the water, drugged the water because we spent the weekend in, you know, in and around Houston in downtown. It was great.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Downtown Houston was beautiful. Now, it wasn't 8,000 degrees with, you know, the humidity that we all got used to in Florida or that they're used to in Houston. And I can see where the traffic would really drag you down. over time, depending on where you lived. But downtown Houston was great. And we had a great time. We were there for the final four for the breakfast, for the Legends of the Hardwood breakfast.
Starting point is 00:17:17 And that breakfast aired on Blaze TV. And there's also a special with some of our interviews coming up on the Blaze Television Network sometime next week, I believe. So keep an eye out for that. Coming up on the Blaze Radio today, right after this broadcast, Mike Opelca, with Pure O'Pelka. And then we do a little rewind of Jay Severn. And then Chris Salcedo, Mike Slater, Joe Paggs.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Michael Pelka, Chris Lader, Mike Slater, Joe Pags, all live here on the Blaze Radio Network and all right here. Just for you. Now, we talked a little bit about robots, you know, and I kind of tried to stay away from the virtual reality, although they're walking down the same road for sure between what's going to matter most of people. And the virtual reality is something that is so close. Now they're, and they, we've already got it, right? I mean, we've got, we've got the new, which I will be, I will be getting soon. The new Samsung 7.
Starting point is 00:18:19 And I really want the new Samsung 7 sport. I went and looked at them last week or the week before. They were great. And the new 7s have the virtual reality mask that you can get with them. they slide on. And it's for games, in quotation marks, and exercise, in quotation marks. But, I mean, let's face it, right?
Starting point is 00:18:51 I mean, the main reason that the world is all wound up about virtual reality is for the sex, the sex, or the lack thereof, just the virtual reality sex. And you have the, they've got the thing called the Apoculus virtual reality headset. And that's really cheap. And I, you know, that's going to be,
Starting point is 00:19:16 that's going to be the, you know, the fun virtual reality set that you hook up to you, you know, that's for 50 bucks and you buy nine bucks on the keyboard and you set it up on the table. It, uh, it's kind of cute, a little weird, but it's there for you, right?
Starting point is 00:19:32 And you've got the Samsung, uh, virtual reality mask, which the phone slides in and then you, you know, you play the games that you download inside your phone. They're also working on the virtual reality sex suit. Really weird because you have to wear the entire suit. I, because they want you to kind of experience like they're working on so that you have that feel. So with the suit, you're able to have that feel. It looks like it would provide that.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Although, first of all, I don't think they have a fat guy suit that would fit me. Because it looks like you're almost in a space suit. you know well it might be you know I'll give you that it might be fun for a moment for that you know maybe one weird virtual reality ride
Starting point is 00:20:50 and maybe that's how they're going to sell it it's the virtual reality sex suit store but I mean once the suit is used I don't think you want to it'll be 100 bucks plus you buy the new suit
Starting point is 00:21:11 or it'll be 125 bucks it can use one of the one of the used suits hanging in the back oh how much is the new suit it's a thousand dollars oh now you know what I think I'm going to go with the new suit
Starting point is 00:21:28 I think I'm going to go with the new suit because the used virtual reality sex suit I don't think so. No, thank you. Have a nice day. The Jeff Fisher Show, a Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Welcome to it.
Starting point is 00:22:18 888. 9-0-033-93 is the phone number. I was just going to go over the headlines a little bit with my RSS app. Got me thinking that, you know, I spend so much time. as I'm sure most of you do on your electronic device. And there are some apps that we should probably be aware of for those of us that have children. And I'm going to go through a couple of those apps that you may want to add or take away from your children. but because I love that my app that just took I run through it gives me headlines and then I see you know what are the big stories and then I can go and look up whatever I want wherever I want online and there's quite a bit I don't even want to go down these headlines it drive me insane like the Bruce Springsteen canceling his concert in North Carolina
Starting point is 00:23:28 and we're going to talk a little bit more about that next hour. I cannot take it because of the new law in North Carolina. And I'm going to stop there because I would get into the whole segment and I want to do it next hour for you because it drives me insane. And hey, Bruce, they said, now I'm getting started out of it. How about did you pull all your record sales and CD? sales and make sure that nobody from North of the North Carolina
Starting point is 00:24:06 address. They can't download any of your music or pay for that. No, I bet you didn't do that, did you? No. But your one little boogie concert in North Carolina you're going to cancel because someone can't use a bathroom. Good for you, Bruce. How about here's an idea, Bruce. Go away.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Retire. Okay? I saw you at the Super Bowl. Get over it. I liked him that much anyway. Here's the maps that I was all ready to get into North Carolina for just a second. And we'll get into a... You know what? Let's just talk a little bit about it.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Before we get into North Carolina, before we do that, here's some apps that you need to know about. Okay. If you don't know about them, I'm sure you need to know about them. Okay? Like yikyak, new message apps,
Starting point is 00:25:37 list teens share with smaller audience, social media apps. There's anonymous apps and sites, which is great. Right? Yes, those are great. Kick. As with other messaging apps, Kicks let you send text, pictures, and video, but it also offers a lot of other mini apps
Starting point is 00:26:06 that let you do everything from Exchange Virtual greeting cards to chat with strangers. There's much more to kick. meets the eye, you can send unlimited messages without depleting your texting limit. You can see whether someone has read your message. You can send individual group messages. It's a kick messenger app on your children's phone. Omega, an anonymous chat client.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Users discuss anything they'd like. Okay? Whisper, a social confessional app that allows users to post whatever's on their mind. Users type of confession at a background. and share it with the whisper community. It's intended for users of 17 and older. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:27:05 My favorite app. There's Burn Note, a messaging app that erases messages after a set period of time. It's limited. Some of the apps. The professionals will tell you, and of course Snapchat. I mean, we all know about Snapchat, right?
Starting point is 00:27:27 Intended to take pictures and then delete them. Of course, you know, they don't go away forever. So you need to, your children need to know that. Once it's on the internet, it's there. And we all play the little internet game. We try to fool ourselves that, you know, our pictures, our pictures are fine. It's the other people's pictures. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:27:49 They're all not going anywhere. People are going to pull them up forever. You know that, right? Right. Okay. But there are apps, and the professionals will tell you, and this is my favorite thing, is that the app will read as something else. Like, oh, I don't know, a calculator.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Well, it'll be called Calculator Plus, but it really isn't Calculator Plus. So if you want to know what's on your kid's phone, and you open it up and you look at the apps, all the pros tell you, hey, click on every app. Click on every app so that you see exactly what's there. I'm not telling you that you need to do that for your kids. But it might be a smart thing to do for you, right? Right. One of the things that I've been struggling with here lately, and, you know, look, I was reading a story the other day about this guy who was, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:59 now 600 pounds or something like that. And he broke, he was 630 or something like that. And he was struggling, he been struggling with his weight. And it brought me to thinking, you know, I've got to. I'm on the precipice now of if I continue to walk down the road, I'm walking. I will be literally 800 pounds. Be close.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Right now I'm like 740. Actually, I'm like 5.10. And so I mean, I'm close. I've got, you know, 280, 300 pounds to go to break that 800 mark. But right now, you know, I'm at 510. and I need to get back down to, you know, three. And it's so difficult because for, I mean, I was using the Take Shape for Life, MetaFast, Simple to Lose plan.
Starting point is 00:30:06 I did that, lost 100 pounds, over 100 pounds, almost 120 pounds. And it is, you know, that lifestyle change. is there. But if you don't work it, then you slip back to the fatness that is. You can use that quote if you'd like. If you don't keep it on, if you don't keep that lifestyle change going,
Starting point is 00:30:37 you slip back to the fatness that is. And we all know who we are that have the fatness switch. You know who you are. We all do. So instead of taking that walk, I mean, we're so, everyone is so close, how many times have we talked about being the person who just gives up and seriously just, you know, ends up being craned out of their bed. And it's not funny at all. And I joke around because it's not funny.
Starting point is 00:31:15 I make a joke because it really isn't funny at all. It's sad. But at what point do you give up? what point do you give up at what point do you say um i'm not going to get out of bed today and then you get up and you're still kind of you're not you're still mobile you're walking around but you're not really mobile you know you don't feel good hey just somebody somebody bring me two pizzas three chickens and four two liter sodas and some french fries please for lunch It's been a couple of days since you've been out of bed.
Starting point is 00:31:58 And you don't just end up in bed for a month or more overnight. You've got to work at it. You have to work at it. So it's just the opposite, right? The other way. Choices have consequences. Both ways. Both ways.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Choice to lay in bed and eat and not move. Choice to get up and maybe, you know, lose some way to be a little active in your life. Right? So I think what we're going to do is I'm going to. If you follow me on Facebook, Jeff Fisher Radio, I'm going to do, I'm going to start a campaign. We'll get back, we'll get back on the plan. We won't, we'll get rid of the fatness that is. Maybe we do a, maybe I do a hashtag simple daily selfie every day.
Starting point is 00:32:55 And we get back to, you know, down below 500 pounds. What do you say? You ready to join me? Follow me on Facebook. Like the page. Jeff Fisher Radio. And we'll get started on that. You know, just as soon as I get those three pizzas, two chickens,
Starting point is 00:33:18 four, two-liter sodas, and some French fries delivered. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. It is that. 888-90-33-93 is the phone number. Remember. Pure Opelka, Mike Opelka, coming up immediately following this broadcast on the Blaze Radio Network. I'm not sure what Mike has in store for you today, what his prize will be. It's very possible that could be something as, I mean, it could be a pen set,
Starting point is 00:34:21 right up to, I don't know, maybe the Opelka Post-it notes. I don't know what he's given away today. I have no idea. I wasn't around the kitchen to hear the chatter this week, so I apologize. Now, this story is a horrific story. And I know it comes on the heels of me talking about doing my simple daily selfie with Simpleto-Lose.com and getting back on the plan of not reaching 800 pounds. and this may be a way to do it,
Starting point is 00:34:56 but it is a horrible, horrible story. And I hate to bring it to you on the broadcast, but some things you just need to know, you need to be aware of. Madagascar, the world's biggest source of food-grade vanilla, said that they had a poor harvest this year, a 600 to 700 ton shortage. And what does that mean?
Starting point is 00:35:29 Higher ice cream prices. I know. I know. Horrible. Okay? The average American consumes around 22 pounds of ice cream a year. 22 pounds. who can't do 22 pounds of ice cream in a year.
Starting point is 00:35:56 The other sources of vanilla in Mexico and Tahiti, but they don't match up to Madagascar. Madagascar has the best tasting vanilla and ends up in most of the ice cream produced. So when you see those prices going up at your local grocery store, look out. That's why.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Madagascar had a... a horrible harvest this year of its vanilla. Sad, sad, sad, sad news. I don't know that I can, I don't know that I want to talk about it anymore. I don't. We've got Netflix news too. I have time for Netflix news. I'll just tell you the big news for Netflix, okay?
Starting point is 00:36:48 Prices are going up. If you've got a grandfathered Netflix standard plan that you're paying just $7.99 a month for HD streaming, here's your reminder. You're going to be paying $9.9. 99 come May. Same quality and the ability to watch content on two screens at a time. Or you're going to be stuck in standard definition on only one screen. An estimated 17 million customers in the U.S. are going to be affected by the change.
Starting point is 00:37:16 17 million customers are getting a $2 raise. Well, not all, but most of those. Netflix's got to pay for those shows somehow. You got to pay for those shows somehow. So here's your deal. for if you just want Netflix standard. Okay, so you get HD available, two screens, unlimited movies and TV shows, cancel any time,
Starting point is 00:37:51 first month free, $9.99 a month. And I know I pay for the premium because I want more than two screens. If I want to watch something in my house and a couple other people want to watch something on a tablet or a kids want to watch something, I want to watch something, I want be able to. I gotta be able to watch more than one or two screens. That's just that can't be. Can't have just... I mean,
Starting point is 00:38:17 one television? You talk about shortage in vanilla being horrific. Oh my gosh. You're only able to watch something on one television? How can you live? This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Experiment was a success. Begin Life Force reboot program. Now. Stand clear. Safe signs stable. It's alive. Set it loose. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Welcome, welcome, welcome. It is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. Thank you so much for coming along for the ride today. Remember, you can always go to the blaze.com slash radio. and download the shows, any of the shows. You can listen again or listen to all the brand new exclusive podcast we have at the blaze.com slash radio. And some shows, like, I don't know, let's see which show. Oh, yeah, this one, the Jeff Fisher show.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Also, we do Talking Walking Dead. We had the big season finale last Monday. Well, Sunday night, obviously it was a show. And then Monday we do The Talking Walking Dead. we're probably going to do talking fear it's been requested I know I even talked about it on this show
Starting point is 00:40:09 probably not doing it but we've had plenty of requests and I think we're going to do a little talking fear from the perspective of helping them out and trying to get them to change some things that will make the show better
Starting point is 00:40:25 because the first season was questionable at best and so we'll see what this second season brings and what they do with some of the characters. So look for that. Talking Walking Dead, Talking Fear on the Jeff Fisher show, but you can go to the blaze.com slash radio and take us with you wherever your little hard desires.
Starting point is 00:40:49 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,
Starting point is 00:41:50 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.
Starting point is 00:42:27 They've already, they've already shut down some colleges in their ever present, hey, the bathrooms are for anyone because of they had people in there with cameras. Huh. Do you mean that people weren't all honest? Weird.
Starting point is 00:42:59 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, civil war, we're fighting the good fight. Uh-huh. I mean, it was the Connecticut guy, right? to cut about it being it being just akin to slavery.
Starting point is 00:43:52 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,
Starting point is 00:44:13 no worries because they still do um uh, uh, Work in Saudi Arabia. Oh, what? Saudi Arabia.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Oh, yeah. They, my gosh, they are so, so open and 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 LGBTQ world. They love all of those people, all of them,
Starting point is 00:45:04 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.
Starting point is 00:45:19 I bet if you live in North Carolina, you can still use PayPal if you want. Huh. That's how much. they making a stand. Springsteen canceled his show. His comment, look,
Starting point is 00:45:35 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,
Starting point is 00:45:55 that isn't as much as you'd make it a certain thing. 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,
Starting point is 00:46:16 it dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use. Oh, my, the horror! I can't use a bathroom that I feel like using. 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.
Starting point is 00:46:54 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 a bathroom police, at least as of today. Right?
Starting point is 00:47:48 So all this time, when you were out, let me ask you something, when you're out and 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?
Starting point is 00:48:17 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's Apple 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 and you're checking out and you see this person who you think is a man. But wear an address. I'll go into the woman's bathroom.
Starting point is 00:48:58 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
Starting point is 00:49:37 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.
Starting point is 00:50:10 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.
Starting point is 00:50:26 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.
Starting point is 00:51:07 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
Starting point is 00:51:44 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
Starting point is 00:52:02 that female now I'm I'm not baddie 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.
Starting point is 00:52:34 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.
Starting point is 00:53:01 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
Starting point is 00:53:21 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.
Starting point is 00:53:45 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.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Well, the American College of pediatricians disagree. Here we go. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to it. 888-90-3-33 is the phone number. The American College of Pediatricians
Starting point is 00:54:56 urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Wait, what? Facts. not ideology determine reality
Starting point is 00:55:18 gender ideology harms children wait what gender reclassification of children also known as transgenderism constitutes child abuse
Starting point is 00:55:35 what that's what that's what the American College of pediatrician say. They believe that human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait, not genetic markers of a disorder. No one is born with a gender. Everyone is born with a biological sex. Gender, an awareness and sense of oneself as male or female, is a sociological and physiological concept, not an objective biological one. A person's belief that he or she is something they are
Starting point is 00:56:17 not is at best a sign of confused thinking when an otherwise healthy biological boy believes he is a girl or an otherwise healthy biological girl believes she is a boy an objective psychological problem exists that lies in the mind not the body and it should be treated as such huh puberty is not a disease and puberty blocking hormones can be dangerous reversible or not puberty blocking hormones induce a state of disease, the absence of puberty, and inhibit growth in fertility, and previously biologically healthy child. Policy statement was authored by President of the American College of Pediatricians. Now, critics on the left were quick to offer vehement objections to the policy statement. Brian Tannahill of the Huffington Post claimed that every single talking point in this position statement,
Starting point is 00:57:21 statement is a distortion or outright falsehood. What? Yes. Outright falsehood. Huh. Amazing. So that's where we're at in America. One side, yes.
Starting point is 00:57:44 That's the way it is. One side, yes. You know what? I feel like I'm a girl's. I'm going to use the girls bathroom. him. I feel like I'm a guy today. I'm going to use the guys. Earlier today, I felt like a girl, but now I feel like a guy. So I'm just going to use that.
Starting point is 00:58:00 And, oh my gosh, my child, my little baby boy, he thinks he's a girl. So we're just going to make him a girl, and that's the way it goes. Wait. Why would anyone do that to their child? I don't understand. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network. It is that. Welcome to it.

Starting point is 01:00:25 I'm going to turn the switch away from fatness hashtag it's simple daily selfie we're going to get going on that Simpleto-lose.com join me on that get ready for that experience as we share it together okay
Starting point is 01:00:43 okay why are we in such a weird place we've talked about so many things today already in this broadcast that make you think what kind of weird place are we living well when benford left his wife to pursue a relationship with his mother he claimed that their relationship wasn't incest instead ford and his mother kim 51 claimed that their relationship was sexual relationship as a result of so-called genetic sexual attraction, which is a term used for
Starting point is 01:01:47 biological relatives who feel sexual attraction towards each other after meeting as adults. That's right. His mother put him up for adoption when he was first born. They just met. Genetic sexual attraction. The couple's claim and the other. ethical and biological decisions surrounding it have gone viral since the mother and son's story was featured on a local New Day magazine.
Starting point is 01:02:20 Then look at the happy couple. Oh my gosh. Look at them. There's just so, so. GSA, genetic sexual attraction. We were like two peas in a pot and meant to be together. Yeah. Mother and son.
Starting point is 01:02:42 No, no, it's not. and says, we have genetic sexual attraction. We love each other so much. The two began exchanging phone calls, and by the time they met in person, it was... We felt like we'd known each other for years, maybe because she's your mother.
Starting point is 01:03:01 Soon they began to experience a sexual attraction for one another. Although she said she initially felt confused concerning her attraction to her son. West said that after she read about G.S. say on the internet, it was okay. I felt relieved. There's a name for how I'm feeling, so it's okay. Genetic sexual attraction. Oh, goody. I know people will say we're disgusting. Yeah, they will. And that we should be able to control our feelings. Yeah, you should. But when you're hit by a love so consuming, you are willing to give up everything.
Starting point is 01:03:46 for it. You have to fight for it. It's a once in a lifetime chance and something Ben and I are not willing to walk away from. After Ford informed his wife of his attraction to his mother, his wife beat him over the head with a bowl. No, she didn't. She should have. They went and flew to Michigan so they could meet
Starting point is 01:04:18 another couple who claimed to be living out GSA life. We're not only a lot of. alone. The mother and son's sexual relationship has drawn in a way of responses. You think? But hey, the two in Michigan are just like us, living out a GSA life. So, and those two are hoping to have a baby together. So we're okay, right?
Starting point is 01:04:54 Right. This is what happens. This is what happens. Genetic sexual attraction. If you feel like you're doing something weird, if you feel, you know, I'm doing something that most people think is weird and wrong. I'm going to go online for just a second,
Starting point is 01:05:30 and I'm going to find out if there's a name for how I'm feeling. And if there is, oh my gosh, that's so good because now I can act on how I'm feeling because it's okay. They have a name for it. And there's someone else in the country of 350, 400 million people. There's two other people that are saying they have the same. same thing. So it's okay. Agonizing. Agonizing. It's what you get. It's what you get. You know what else you get? You get rules and regulations that don't make any sense. And I can't tell you since I've moved to Texas how many times I've said to myself, oh my gosh, this is happening in Texas. How could that be? And yet it is.
Starting point is 01:06:40 It happens in Texas. Now, this story, out of Magnolia, Texas. It's a suburb of Houston. Pick up your child from school, and you could be charged with trespassing. The threat against parents at Bear Branch Elementary School in Magnolia, the school's tactic is to keep parents who live close to the school from walking on school grounds. The horror!
Starting point is 01:07:11 Now, at one school that my oldest son used to go to, where you had, I don't know, a neighborhood surrounding it. I mean, I know I'm 150 years old, but I used to walk to school every stinking day. Rain, snow, son. It didn't matter. you walk to school. Some people had to walk a longer distance than others. That's what happened. But when I used to go, but my oldest son,
Starting point is 01:08:03 the school, one elementary school that he went to at one time, we lived not far from the school itself. And when you went to pick up your kids at the school, you could walk up to, oh, I don't know, the gate. Not right up to the school. They have a fenced-in area what the kids would play, and that's the gate that opened up for the kids to come out, and the parents would pick them up in the cars in the back road,
Starting point is 01:08:29 and other parents would wait, I don't know, on the sidewalk, waiting for their kids to come running out of school. Yay, school's out there, there's mom or dad. But this school, no. This is their pickup policy. It's been a place since the beginning of this school year. The principal has decided that no matter how close the student lives to the school, the student must either take the bus,
Starting point is 01:08:52 or the parent must wait in a lot. in the pickup line. Try and walk your student off the campus and you, you could face criminal charges. A couple of parents have already pulled their kids out of the school
Starting point is 01:09:09 and they're still trying to fight it. The principal is like tough. That's my rule. Okay? And while this is a separate school rule, it led me
Starting point is 01:09:26 back to this happened in Texas. And then I looked at federal regulations in all 50 states. And a regdata.org site, 50 states, listed, rated the top regulated states, the impact of federal regulation on all 50 states. Now, who's number one? Coming in at number one. Louisiana, affected, impacted most by federal regulations. Number six in the top 13, Texas.
Starting point is 01:10:15 Amazing. Impacted by federal regulations the most. Coming in at number six, Texas. Now, they're probably going to tell you, but Jeff, that's because of the oil and the natural gas. There's all kinds of federal regulations on them, so that puts you top of the list. Oh, okay. How about Kansas coming in at 12?
Starting point is 01:10:39 What about them? How about Nebraska coming in at number seven? How about them? How about Wyoming? Coming in at number three. How about them? Montana, 10th, North Dakota, 9th. Indiana, 4th.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Oh, number 5, Kentucky. And number 8, Lesevede. That's the top 13 states impacted the most by federal regulations, agonizing. And I'm really getting tired of hearing, and this is happening in Texas. Real tired of hearing that. Because for the most part, everybody thinks that Texas is so great, right? I mean, I don't dislike Texas. But when Texas is number six, the sixth highest highest.
Starting point is 01:11:38 state impacted by federal regulations and we say California is 29th. Either something is wrong with how they put this whole thing together or something is really wrong because I'm real tired of hearing and this happened in Texas. People moved here for a reason and that was for less. government on your life. And now it seems that there isn't less government in your life. And that, my friends, is bad. This is The Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
Starting point is 01:12:55 The Jeff Fisher Show. Welcome to it. Follow me on Twitter at Jeff EMRA. This Just In. Unless you fell off the treadmill and smacked your face, nobody wants to hear about your workup. A fantastic point. And I was looking down my timeline, and I see from Michael Pelko telling me that I missed the story about radioactive wild boars at Fukushima. No, I did not.
Starting point is 01:13:27 Michael, in fact, that was going to be my story here. And then you're Mr. Smartypants with your tweet talking about, you know, the Fukushima and wild boars going crazy at, you know, around the old Fukushima plant. So I'll let you give the details on your show. Mr. Smarty Pants, sure thinks he's going to beat me to the punch and radioactive boars. I think not. Anything Fukushima, I am well aware. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:58 A horror of Fukushima. So I'll tell you that, as you know, a job. I always wanted it one time in my life was to be Postmaster General. I know. You know, we all have goals, and that was one of mine to be Postmaster General. I'm still willing to take it over. But the prices are going down. Stamps are going down, and the post office is pissed.
Starting point is 01:14:19 Because, of course, this is going down because of the Postal Regulatory Commission. Oh, my gosh, more U.S. regulations. But your price of stamps is going down. So good luck. God bless. If you want me to run that place, make some money. Just let me know. I'm willing to be Postmaster General. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:14:43 I've got some ideas that will turn that place around. Have a great week. We'll see you back here next week on the Blaze Radio Network. Has anyone told you how good you look today yet? They haven't. Well, you do. I mean that you look. Fantastic.
Starting point is 01:15:06 I mean, you're not going to really wear that thing all day, though, are you? Ooh. Okay, whatever. This is the Jeff Fisher Show. Only on the Blaze Radio Network.
