1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,320 The deck Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,000 part by Caldron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,080 keep it off. It's the twenty seventh of March. I feel like I'm 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,359 a little congested, but I feel fine. It's middle of the night. 5 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,839 Why wouldn't I feel fine? Right, It's midnight in Hawaii. I'm at 6 00:00:22,879 --> 00:00:29,719 the studios of ninety four to three, the Star on Kawhi in louaylu who 7 00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:33,799 lo who? I think listen. I could spend my entire lifetime to figure 8 00:00:33,799 --> 00:00:37,079 out how to pronounce some of these names over here. The thing that's good 9 00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:41,719 about it is the beauty, the scenery. Jay Kirshner and Duk Stefan. 10 00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:46,079 On Good Day, Jay posted some of the pictures of me just being a 11 00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:52,799 tourist, spending some time yesterday wandering around and various places, including this place 12 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,439 that has like a whale up against that. You saw that one, right, 13 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,079 Jay, the whale up against the shore of the beachline place with Oh, 14 00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:06,879 I didn't see that one yet. I saw the Yeah, go look, 15 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,480 I saw the one with you in front of a big sign. And 16 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,920 then the one with the lighthouse. I really like the lighthouse. Yeah. 17 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,120 There was another one from the from what looks like a whale, and it 18 00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:19,560 isn't a whale, but it's the it's the water coming up against the coast 19 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:26,400 just everywhere. So that's the story in this end. A Jay's in Cleveland 20 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,640 where it's kind of cold. You have snow a little. What was the 21 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,799 weather yesterday last twenty four hours? I mean it was tolerable yesterday. Yeah, 22 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,079 it was a little chilly, not absurdly cold. We had a few 23 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,519 moments of like a little bit of rain, but no, no snow. 24 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,760 All right, And down to Dallas, isn't it too cooler? James Collins 25 00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:47,319 in their main studio down to Dallas, isn't it a little bit cooler? 26 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,560 It's cooler for me. It's like forty right now, which is like pretty 27 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,519 freezing for me. But hey, right, buck up, kid, all 28 00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:59,439 right, all right. Here's the story of a woman who won twenty five 29 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,920 thousand dollars a year for life. She had a dream last night. I 30 00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:09,039 had a wonderful dream about this. She dreamt she would win the lottery. 31 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:15,120 She woke up and she won the lottery. This lady is Patricia Harris lives 32 00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:19,000 in Holliston, which is about ten miles from where I live in Framingham. 33 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,919 She got the quick pick ticket. Wait a minute, I had that number. 34 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,240 Hold on a second, what's the big idea? No, I guess 35 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,159 I did. She bought the ticket at a place called the Country Farm. 36 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,960 Now I know this is my ticket. Anyway, she got her prize the 37 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,560 other day. During the visit, she said that she had that dream about 38 00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:47,960 winning the lottery, and so she she she won. Shook the one time 39 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,000 pamily. You got three hundred ninety thousand bucks, and she's going to invest 40 00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:54,960 in a I guess a home, some good things for her family, wasn't 41 00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:00,159 it. Yeah? Game, I mean twenty five thousand dollars a year's like 42 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:04,080 for some people that's their salary. Yeah, right, exactly. That's amazing. 43 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,199 Yep, all right, so that's good. Congratulations to her. All 44 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,199 Right, it's hard to escape this Baltimore thing. I think there needs to 45 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,560 be a deep dive into what actually happens. So let's spend some time. 46 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,599 I actually was listening online to some radio coverage of this from a couple of 47 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:27,520 really good radio stations in Baltimore. You know the story, the news yesterday, 48 00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:31,759 not about this time that it became known locally and then it spread like 49 00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:39,840 wildfire. The tragedy in the Francis Scott Key Bridge circumstance completely collapsed. So 50 00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:46,439 what is going on? And there was a warning apparently jay issued by crew 51 00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:52,960 members on this ship, yeah before and I guess that helped save some lives. 52 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:58,479 Yeah, they stop traffic. So when they lost power and they knew 53 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,800 that they couldn't control anything, and there was a bridge coming up, and 54 00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:06,400 they made a mayday call and it was able to stop the flow of traffic. 55 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,680 And I think there was still like maybe a couple of cars and most 56 00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:16,879 people were like construction workers or crew members who were in the water. This 57 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,040 could have been so much worse had they not gotten that mayday call out. 58 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,279 Yeah. No, the people on the ship certainly did the right thing. 59 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,279 The warning helped a lot. Whatever happened to the boat, that'll take a 60 00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:35,000 few days probably for them to figure out what happened to the boat. But 61 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:42,800 anyway, this is the major bridge to think about the impact of this. 62 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,120 The large yes of this. This is Baltimore Harbor is a very very busy 63 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,680 harbor. It's one of those harbors like let's see Philadelphia on the East coast 64 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,639 and New York, and you know, all of the biggest cities have a 65 00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:03,519 large, big harbor. Baltimore's is especially large, a lot of large shipping 66 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:10,959 container ships, and so this one lost power. Two people who went into 67 00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:15,360 the water apparently were rescued, but I think there's another six that they can't 68 00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:17,920 find, and they've called off the search for those people, right, and 69 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,680 if I have that in my mind correctly, and by the way, all 70 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,800 of these people he ate, the two that they got and the six that 71 00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:31,079 they didn't get were all part of the crew that was working on the construction 72 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,319 of the bridge. So this bid and the reason they were rebuilding it is 73 00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:42,480 because it was built back in nineteen seventy seven. It's a two mile long 74 00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:47,920 bridge. Thirty five thousand drivers a day used this thing on Intertate six ninety 75 00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:53,560 five. And so the port of Baltimore, I guess is closed as well. 76 00:05:54,759 --> 00:06:00,000 And all of these this is like most of the port like long beaches. 77 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,079 The same way, they specialize and roll on vehicle shipments, and so 78 00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:10,439 anyway they have to. They pulled the ship out and they're bringing the ship, 79 00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:14,319 I guess towing the ship to someplace in Virginia. But they get the 80 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,079 thing off, but they are the debris around the bridge. They got to 81 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,720 get out of the way. So that's why they got to close the port. 82 00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:30,040 But the process could take what a month anyway, the bridge replacement could 83 00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:34,560 take years years. Yeah, So this container ship was on its way to 84 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:40,160 Sri Lanka. It had been operated. Well, you see, this is 85 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:45,319 the this is the dark side of whatever goes on in the shipping business with 86 00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:50,279 these big ships. They're all because it's cheap to base them in Singapore or 87 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:56,639 wherever. And so when you see these ships, you see some consistent names 88 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,680 like Mayors M A E. R. S K. That's the company that 89 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:05,720 charted this boat with its cargo. And then there's Costco, which is the 90 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:12,360 Chinese Overseas Container operation. Those are two of the biggest the ones that you 91 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:18,920 see often, and so there's that component to it. People are curious as 92 00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:23,839 to this will be a good thing because we'll learn a lot about how just 93 00:07:23,879 --> 00:07:29,879 because it's pretty interesting and kind of compelling to know. When you talk about 94 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,600 these things. Sometimes people it's kind of like the Boeing situation where people are 95 00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:38,360 talking like they have a paper butt because they don't really know what's going on, 96 00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:43,079 and they just log. They just fall in footsteps with the news media 97 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,120 that doesn't know. They couldn't grab their butts in the snowstorm most of the 98 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,000 time when they're talking about these things. So there's a lot of misinformation not 99 00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:55,360 about what happened, but about what you know, the ship was, about 100 00:07:55,399 --> 00:07:59,079 how these ships operate, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So 101 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,480 in I guess the conversation about these sorts of things, the sad disasters, 102 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,079 again, I bring Boeing into it and bring this ship. The transfer. 103 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:15,480 World of transportation is a pretty complex thing these days. These ships are all 104 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:22,240 run pretty much like railroads and airplanes. It's almost all automatic. When you 105 00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:24,959 come into a port, though, a boat, what they call the pilot 106 00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:30,120 boat is set out from the harbor and they put a pilot in the boat 107 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,879 to guide the boat into where it's supposed to be docking. Because most of 108 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:37,039 the you know, the captains they go all over the world, they don't 109 00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:39,759 know the captains don't know the Baltimore Harbor necessarily, or any other harbor. 110 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:46,159 So there's usually four or five depending on the size of the Where I am 111 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,360 right here. If it were daylight in the studio, I could see out 112 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,759 to the harbor here. When I came in the other day, there was 113 00:08:52,799 --> 00:09:00,279 a huge tanker that was offloading because on these islands in Hawaii they have some 114 00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:03,720 solar but mostly all of the of the power that runs everything, all the 115 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:09,120 electricity is generated by huge generators that are fueled by a diesel. So they 116 00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:11,919 have tankers coming in every day. It's about a tank all over to day 117 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:18,159 to fuel the bunkers so that the generators keep going. So this was really 118 00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:22,440 I mean I was like maybe two hundred feet away from the tanker as we 119 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,360 drove by it. Those things and you if you have children with you, 120 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:28,679 they'll look at that and they go, oh wow, yeah, it's that 121 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,399 you know sort of thing. But in terms of this, I'm not I'm 122 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,120 not overviewing what's going on with the seriousness of this circumstance with a bridge and 123 00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:46,240 the people who lost their lives. But you know, they they apparently the 124 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,200 I guess something about the water temperature Jay and what it would be in Baltimore 125 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,000 at this time of year, it's like thirty seven degrees. Yeah, I 126 00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:00,000 mean, they're already freezing conditions. Yeah, right, they're not going to 127 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,759 They're gonna save those people. I just I would be curious to know what 128 00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:11,080 it is what happened. The construction crew was on the bridge repairing potholes. 129 00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:16,159 You know, they do that stuff at night. Most major roadways had these 130 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,919 crews that work all night long to fix stuff like that, and so that 131 00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:24,519 was going on on that side. Well, how were they able to stop 132 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,440 traffic? But then but they didn't get off the bridge? Say that? 133 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,000 Huh? How was it that with the MAYD alert they were able to get 134 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,440 have traffic be stopped, so there weren't more cars traveling on the bridge. 135 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:41,440 But why didn't the construction workers get off the bridge or were they already moving 136 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,440 to get off the bridge? Maybe? I don't know. Yeah, that 137 00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:50,559 is one of the people that survived. One of them is very seriously hurt. 138 00:10:50,639 --> 00:10:54,200 The other one was just treated and released. Imagine what that person is 139 00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:01,320 thinking today. Imagine what's in that in the mind of that person. And 140 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,480 you know, when you see the ship heading, it's dark the middle of 141 00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:11,000 the night, so they could hear there's kind of like a foghorn on the 142 00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:13,840 ship, and they can see the lights of the ship it's a big bridge, 143 00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:20,799 right, two miles long. Anyway, So the governor was talking about 144 00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:24,159 it. She went to the families of the six people who were affected by 145 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,960 this, and so, yeah, it'll take a while to investigate it, 146 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,159 but the circumstances are such that it is. It's more than a curiosity of 147 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:41,519 her people. You know, lives were lost and the port is closed. 148 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,919 It will affect a lot of people's jobs, that whole thing. So hold 149 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,799 a good thought for the folks who are involved in this in Baltimore. Okay, 150 00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:54,720 good deal. This is the portion of the hour we sort of check 151 00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:58,120 how what's going on the trending column with the celebrity news and gossip, because 152 00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:03,120 that's a lot the stuff, whether it's local news in your neck of the 153 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,080 woods or are these national stories. I have some remind me to talk about 154 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,399 the bore that went into the swimming pool here in Hawaii, would you, 155 00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:16,440 Oh my goodness, yeah, you can go find that video online right now, 156 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,639 though, our focus on Kathy Lee Gifford, who, as you know, 157 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:28,480 is someone who has been all over television for years and years and years, 158 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:35,159 and so she made some people sort of did you say that she said 159 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:41,360 something about the Golden Bachelor and the Golden Bachelorette. But we're gonna have a 160 00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:46,120 woman now to do what the Golden Guy did? Is that what this? 161 00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:48,840 Oh? Of course, I mean it all started with just The Bachelor, 162 00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:54,279 and then it turned into the spinoff of the Bachelorette, and then I think, 163 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,440 what do they have like Bachelor Island or something like that where a bunch 164 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,000 of didn't get together, and now the Golden Bachelor's of course there's going to 165 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,480 be a Golden Bachelorette. I know there are a lot of people that love 166 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:09,960 these Bachelor shows, The Bachelor, the Bachelorette, the Old Foggy Bachelor, 167 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,159 and the Old Fogie Bachelorette. Apparently now, oh no, it's called the 168 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:20,960 Golden Bachelorette. So has there been one already? Yeah, there's only been 169 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,000 the Golden Bachelor so far, the one season of the Golden Bachelor, and 170 00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:28,919 of course people loved it, so they continue with their spin off franchises. 171 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:33,879 So Kathy the Franchise was on with her former co host Hoda Cole not evenronounce 172 00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:39,799 to last Night. Copy. That's what I always thought was I think it 173 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,360 was always mispronounced Cobb. But yeah, it's copy anyway. So she was 174 00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:50,639 talking about what she would do if she was a Golden bachelorette, but she's 175 00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:56,720 not interested in having somebody her own age. Her husband, Frank Gifford, 176 00:13:56,759 --> 00:13:58,759 died but last year or the year before, he was a baseball player, 177 00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:03,120 great announce her. They'd married a long time and had a lot of stuff 178 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:07,240 went on in their marriage, including him being unfaithful to her, and it 179 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,279 became very public. But she's stuck with him. But now she says, 180 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,279 Okay, I'll go on to the Golden Bachelorette if I'm asked, but I 181 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,840 want somebody who's a lot younger than me, which I thought was kind of 182 00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:24,360 cute, maybe a little Well, she had been asked before about it, 183 00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:28,279 and she was saying like, no, she wouldn't want to do anything like 184 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,600 that because of just that many guys. And she's like, I don't know 185 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,480 where they've been. Yeah, all right, So instead of for her anyway, 186 00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:35,840 instead of calling it the Golden Bachelorette, they ought to call it the 187 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,960 Golden Cougar, which might make things a little more interesting, right, I'd 188 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,919 watch the show that was about them, But it's only the Cougar because if 189 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,440 she's older, but it's not if the guy's older. No, I know 190 00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:50,840 there's a double standard, no question, you got it. So it's great 191 00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:52,759 business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off the 192 00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:58,159 hook and people would be ordering nauseum. That's right.

I always I like baseball. 209 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,519 I'm not, as anybody can tell by listening to this program. I'm 210 00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:19,480 not a sports fan, never had been. But I do like baseball, 211 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,840 Yeah, because it signifies a lot of stuff. Right you hear the crack 212 00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:32,360 of the bat there going to the park and smelling that freshly cut grass at 213 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,799 this time of the year, it's yum. Want you just think about, 214 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:41,919 like the not only the athleticism, but the coordination of this small object flying 215 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:48,639 at you at ninety miles per hour over one hundred miles per hour and then 216 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,320 connecting with it with a like a stick. Essentially, it is just absolutely 217 00:16:53,399 --> 00:17:00,240 astounding the ability that they have. Yeah, now, it's a cool thing. 218 00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:03,759 It's a it's the thing. And I say this not to sound like 219 00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:06,240 a jerk, and I don't want anybody I hope you know, take it 220 00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:11,880 as such. But growing up as I did in a town that's a big 221 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,559 baseball town. Was when I was a kid and it still is, always 222 00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:22,599 has been, the Red Sox really do uh preoccupy much of the conversation. 223 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,359 Uh in the spring of the summer, they just that was. That's where 224 00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:30,480 you find that to be the case in Cleveland too, Jay, that the 225 00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:38,920 Guardians occupy a special place in people's minds. Feels better, feels it feels 226 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,480 different. Well because also there's a little bit of a lull. I mean, 227 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,559 you from football and then of course basketball is going, but it's just 228 00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:53,960 you have these moments of like multiple sports happening for a little bit and then 229 00:17:53,960 --> 00:18:00,400 it just simmers down slightly and then once baseball picks back up and back ball 230 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,160 will go until you know, the championship finals in June. I kind of 231 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:10,200 feel like most people they follow their hometown teams, but nobody really pays attention 232 00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:15,480 or most people don't pay attention to baseball until October, Yeah, when the 233 00:18:15,599 --> 00:18:22,200 season series. Yeah, I just think that it's cool and so I underscore 234 00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:30,799 that. Some political news, Robert F. Kennedy Junior announced his running mate 235 00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:34,079 and lady named Nicole Shanahan. And they must say, when I first saw 236 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,279 this, I don't know who she is. When Jennifer was on the other 237 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,559 day, she seemed to know her because she's from California. She's a big 238 00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:48,680 time attorney, has done well as an entrepreneur, and so I believe she's 239 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,000 from the Bay Area too. H Oakland, Yeah, she's from Oakland. 240 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,960 So anyway, he went up there and introduced a running mate, said that 241 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,400 she was battle tested and that's why he's putting her on the ticket. I 242 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,519 wanted, he said, quote a partner who possesses the gift of curiosity and 243 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:12,640 open inquiring mind, and the confidence to change even her strongest opinions in the 244 00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:18,559 face of conflicting evidence. I found all those qualities in this woman. She 245 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,240 grew up right here in Oakland, the daughter of immigrants who overcame every daunting 246 00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:29,519 obstacle and went on to achieve the highest levels of the American dream. So 247 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,440 anyway, we got a bunch of he's not as old Robert F. Kennedy's 248 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:40,799 seventy, So if we won't let him go into the same league as Trump 249 00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:47,559 and certainly Biden. Well, and he comes from a famously democratic family Shahan 250 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,319 has been a lot of money Democratic campaigns. Yeah, so it seems like 251 00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:56,079 they're kind of the alternative possibly for Democrats who don't want to vote for Biden. 252 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:03,319 And then RFK Junior's family has been very open about they don't like that 253 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,240 he's running because they feel that he is taking away votes from Biden. You 254 00:20:07,319 --> 00:20:11,240 know, they need to grow up, they need to grow a pair, 255 00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:15,039 They need to understand what's going on. The political climate is not what it 256 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:22,400 was when JFK ran in nineteen sixty even when his father, Robert F. 257 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,400 Kennedy Senior, ran in nineteen sixty eight. The political climate now is so 258 00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:30,519 much different. The reality of what's going on in our country, the issues 259 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:37,680 are so much different, and frankly, you know, to a certain extent, 260 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,200 Trump is sort of up on the issues. I don't feel like Biden 261 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,000 is at all. And I feel more and more strongly about this pretty much 262 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,440 every day. I don't usually go out of my way to create a situation 263 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:56,279 where there's going to be a conflict in conversation, but Joe Biden has been 264 00:20:56,319 --> 00:21:02,319 an all unbelievable disaster in my mind. And the verbal thing about this is 265 00:21:02,319 --> 00:21:07,519 that the rhetoric of two parties continues because it's still Republicans. Were Democrats Democrats 266 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:11,960 versus Republicans, and anybody else is just quote unquote in the way or a 267 00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:15,119 quote unquote wasted vote. Yeah, and that just stinks. And when it 268 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,279 comes to the big to Bay, it's it's going to be Biden and Trump. 269 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,039 Are they only two on the big stage, even though there are other 270 00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:26,599 parties, there are other candidates. She's thirty eight years old, she's been 271 00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:30,759 politically active for most of her adult life. Pretty good profile of her in 272 00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:36,799 the La Times today. So let's see what happens. Let's see how much 273 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,839 she brings. She's married. Oh, okay, that's why I know she 274 00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:48,279 was. She's married to the co founder of Google, Sergey Brinn, one 275 00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:52,480 of the two guys I referred to as a little worm. He's got plenty 276 00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:57,359 of dough. They have a daughter. They've been separated for a year or 277 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:06,319 so, and so that's kind of her background. She's apparently friendly with Elon 278 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:11,640 Musk, right, well here, that's her ex's like close friend. And 279 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,759 then there were rumors, which she's denied, that there was an affair with 280 00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:21,680 Elon Musk. No Elon Musk had an affair. I can't believe that. 281 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,640 Who'd want to actually think about it for a second. I'm gonna be a 282 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,880 little I'll be a little off the tip here. Who what woman would want 283 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,519 to have an affair with Elon Musk? Seriously, guys, I mean, 284 00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,960 he's not my cup of tea, but he's not like atrocious. Yes, 285 00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:42,240 well, maybe I'm speaking as a man. People might say that, who'd 286 00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:48,119 go out with you? Okay, so I suppose that's fair. All right. 287 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,319 Now, let's see what's going on with Trump. I'm sure many of 288 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:59,599 you who are Trump fans have followed how the shares of Trump Media? The 289 00:22:57,599 --> 00:23:02,240 uh, the the guy was, he got fifty nine percent of the stock 290 00:23:02,319 --> 00:23:10,039 I think truth Social went public, and the value of the stock after the 291 00:23:10,079 --> 00:23:15,079 opening bill yesterday went up homot sixty percent. So man, oh man, 292 00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:21,319 it went up to seventy seven dollars a share, and then it went up 293 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,480 to I think eighty, and then it went back down at fifty eight. 294 00:23:25,319 --> 00:23:29,480 So the company is valued now as of today, as of this moment, 295 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:37,200 at eight billion dollars. So of that Trump, what is he owned? 296 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,240 When I say fifty nine percent? So what's that? What's sixty percent of 297 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,559 eight billion. That's six billion dollars. That's twice as much as we thought 298 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,480 he was going to have in his pocket when we talked about this last week. 299 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,920 Unless I am the numbers wrong, and I may, but I'm just 300 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,799 taking a quick look here at the numbers. So and plus the fact now 301 00:23:56,799 --> 00:24:03,160 he doesn't have to worry about the CORNU or the cash the bond for this 302 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:08,319 foolishness in New York. But at any rate, I think it's very interesting. 303 00:24:10,039 --> 00:24:14,680 This is good, not necessarily just for Trump, but any new company 304 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,680 like this that generates this kind of cash, no matter what it is. 305 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:19,920 And I'm not even I don't care whether it's trong. I just think it's 306 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,000 good for the economy. It's very good to have that sort of interest in 307 00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:26,640 Kaplan. Certainly, there are a lot of people that are investing in it, 308 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,440 not because they know anything about social media, but they want to support 309 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,440 Trump. Okay, So it's fine. People can spend their money how they 310 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:41,319 want to. For sure, exactly yep. The Attorney General in Texas jay 311 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:48,839 name is ken Paxton, reached a deal yesterday with prosecutors to resolve criminal securities 312 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,359 fraud charges. This has been a saga that's been going on for quite a 313 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,240 while, he says, I'm innocent. This goes back like what to twenty 314 00:24:57,279 --> 00:25:03,400 eleven he was a state rep. He so accused of recruiting two people to 315 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:11,279 invest in a computer server company without disclosing to them his role as a paid 316 00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:15,279 advisor. And then the guy who, let's see, this company was called 317 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,559 I think it's serve in, servage, serve Energy. I guess I think 318 00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:23,440 that's what it's called. I never heard of it until I looked into this 319 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,400 story. I've heard of Paxton before. So he's got to pay a two 320 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:32,000 hundred and seventy one thousand dollars. Fine, Okay, so this is you 321 00:25:32,039 --> 00:25:34,519 know what it is? What the reason I bring it up at all because 322 00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:37,960 it may not be of interest the individual story may not be of interest to 323 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,240 a lot of people. But this just shows you how corrupt, how easy 324 00:25:42,279 --> 00:25:48,519 it is for the people who have influence and power to corrupt or be corrupted 325 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:59,920 or yeah. Right, So anyway, I just think that he's he's got 326 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,759 are just pigs. They are they take advantage of the circumstances. I'm talking 327 00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:11,920 about the congressman, I'm talking about Trump anyway. Okay, So yesterday the 328 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:21,880 Supreme Court having discussions about the whole abortion pill thing. So apparently there were 329 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,400 thirteen people Jay arrested in front of the Supreme Court and they were demonstrating against 330 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:33,279 the examination of restrictions to the abortion pill that nobody can pronounce. Have you 331 00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:40,680 you've been practicing this, mef priss to miss say it again? Why? 332 00:26:41,079 --> 00:26:44,880 Yeah, everybody knows what I'm talking about when I say that your abortion pills, 333 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,839 So why sounds silly and not being able to pronounce it anyway. So 334 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:56,200 they're hearing arguments over whether the FDA has lawfully relaxed restrictions to make it easier 335 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:03,279 to access the drug in question to end one's pregnancy. This is the first 336 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,759 pill to take of you. If maybe you can help me with this. 337 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,079 There's a two drug regimen for a medical abortion, and so this is the 338 00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:18,039 most common method around the country. And once again people are trying to tell 339 00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:25,000 other people what to do with their bodies. I think that the appropriate thing 340 00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:29,759 here is I don't like abortion, never have. If I was ever with 341 00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:33,319 anybody, I've said this one hundred times. I would encourage them to keep 342 00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:36,119 the baby and put it up for adoption. But that's me. It's not 343 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,680 my business what somebody else does. It's not your business, frankly, what 344 00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:41,279 anybody else does. You can say, oh, we're trying to protect the 345 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,759 unborn child. Well, I think there's a lot of misconception of late term 346 00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:51,319 abortions and that is not where Yeah, a lot of people believe that. 347 00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:55,319 Well, some people are against abortion, no matter when. A lot of 348 00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:59,720 people are against abortion because of the thought of late term and a lot of 349 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,680 people think that, well, what if somebody is farther along second trimester, 350 00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:07,359 third trimester and they are doing this, that's not possible. Your body doesn't 351 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,319 just absorb the fetus like. Your body has to pass the fetus. And 352 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:17,359 if it's too big, like bigger than six, eight weeks, ten weeks, 353 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,799 it's it's your body's not going to pass it. This pill is not 354 00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:23,240 going to help. Nope, it's a sticky weekend. You're still going to 355 00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:29,359 need a procedure, still need a surgery.

What I got a large charge out of 370 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,839 yesterday was seeing the Joe Biden and his campaign. Remember, these are the 371 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:45,000 people that are trying to eliminate TikTok, although he's more a legislative process involved. 372 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,839 Before it gets to Joe Biden but I think if it wasn't him, 373 00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:52,680 many of the people around him have said TikTok needs to be curved. But 374 00:29:52,799 --> 00:30:00,119 yet yesterday the campaign joined to TikTok to try to reach younger voters. And 375 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:07,880 they certainly need to because they are basically vacant when it comes to voters under 376 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,400 thirty five. They're all looking for Robert F. Kennedy's junior. They're not 377 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,200 looking at Joe Biden by any stretch of the imagination. And so what they 378 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,640 did, though, was open themselves up to a lot of jokes and criticism 379 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:27,880 because of the stance that the Democrats in general have toward TikTok. So anyway, 380 00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:33,759 just I mean, it's silliness, all right. Here's another one. 381 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,039 It really is, Yeah, it is. It's just silly, all right. 382 00:30:37,079 --> 00:30:41,960 Here's Governor desandis signing a bill that bans children under fourteen. We've been 383 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,359 talking about this for a number of weeks now. So if you're fourteen, 384 00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:52,039 you don't have social media accounts, period, end of story, if you 385 00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:57,240 live in Florida. So how do they how do they manage this? How 386 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,400 do you know That's a good question. Yeah, how do you know that 387 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,920 somebody's not lying about their age? Are they going to require that they put 388 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,519 in like a state ID or a driver's license and proof of that. And 389 00:31:08,559 --> 00:31:14,359 then a lot of adults who are able to use social media might not just 390 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,279 because they don't want to give that information. Right And as far as like 391 00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:22,359 our country goes, how do you dictate something like this in one state but 392 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,720 not others? How can you control that? It seems like craziness anyway. 393 00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:32,559 All the social media companies, according to the bill, have to delete the 394 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,640 existing accounts of those who are under fourteen. How do they know if they're 395 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,720 under fourteen? I don't remember putting my age in when I signed up for 396 00:31:40,759 --> 00:31:44,640 any kind of account, So this seems you did. You did, But 397 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,519 again, underage people could still lie about their birth year. Yeah, how 398 00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:52,680 you're going to prove that? So if you're if you're caught violating this bill, 399 00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:56,480 this law, you could have to pay a ten thousand dollars fine. 400 00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:01,839 That's a individual of the companies if they allow this to happen, could be 401 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,920 level over fifty thousand dollars fine. So what are they trying to do? 402 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,759 I get what they're trying to do, trying to help parents navigate this difficult 403 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,640 terrain makes sense, but leave it up to the parents. Yeah, Like 404 00:32:15,319 --> 00:32:20,880 I mean, I'm all for having you know, I'm all for focus on 405 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,960 social media and how it affects the human mind in general, regardless of age, 406 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,640 but especially at the younger age. I don't like that the government is 407 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,960 getting involved in trying to control it, though, don't control other people's parenting. 408 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:36,720 So this is a small part of what the FEDS are trying to do. 409 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:43,400 Remember the Kids Online Safety Act KOSA, it's called trying to keep miners 410 00:32:44,839 --> 00:32:50,519 away from it because it negatively affects their mental health. Keeme away from apps 411 00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:52,720 and online platforms and that sort of thing. But once again, how are 412 00:32:52,759 --> 00:33:01,200 you going to measure this? You know, the TikTok thing needs to go 413 00:33:01,279 --> 00:33:05,720 for any number of reasons. But you know, you also have the X 414 00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:08,240 and you have all of the stuff from face mak. They all use the 415 00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:15,200 same Yeah, they all use the same data grabbing algorithms and all of that. 416 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:22,400 But it's one of those things too that when you look at how social 417 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:28,880 media affects everybody, how it affects other people, there is a difference in 418 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,559 the younger generation with Gen Alpha right now, where I believe One of their 419 00:33:31,599 --> 00:33:36,079 nicknames is the New Old or the Old New or something like that. Where 420 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:42,799 Gen Alpha is happy taking digital detoxes, they don't feel as obsessed with their 421 00:33:42,839 --> 00:33:45,640 phones as the generations above them do, and they're more willing they want to 422 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,519 go outside and play again. The next Steff and good Day download with Doug 423 00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:53,519 and Jay Kirshner is made possible in part by Caltrin, which is the safe 424 00:33:53,559 --> 00:33:57,119 way for you to lose weight and keep it off.
