1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,400 The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,119 part by Keltron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,160 keep it off, and also by previagent keeping your brain healthy. It's a 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,359 Good Day program on December twentieth, two thirds of the way through the month, 5 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,839 and winter Soulstice arrives later on. I think it's actually tomorrow afternoon, 6 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,879 and then it's the first full day of winter is Friday, if not mistaken, 7 00:00:29,239 --> 00:00:32,640 so we have that to celebrate. Depending on where you are and which 8 00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:37,159 you're doing. Weather wise, we here in the Northeast had a walloping storm 9 00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:41,439 earlier in the week and thousands, tens of thousands, actually hundreds of thousands 10 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:47,520 of people up in Maine. Here in Massachusetts there is a fierce storm and 11 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:53,759 knocked out power because the electric utility companies do not do a good job keeping 12 00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:58,439 the lines clear. So you know, they'll tell you they'll sending out trucks 13 00:00:58,439 --> 00:01:02,399 and they keep the line that's not There are a lot of dead trees all 14 00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:04,959 along the roadways everywhere that had been killed by the salt has been spread on 15 00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:10,200 the roads over the years. So when a sixty seventy mile an hour wind 16 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,000 hits it goodbye and see you later. It looks like it might be into 17 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,680 the weekend before people have their power back, and it's just inexcusable. Really, 18 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,519 there's no other than the corporate greed. I get it because the people 19 00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:27,599 who run these companies are not interested in the public good. They're interested in 20 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,480 the value of the stock. So that's what they get paid to do, 21 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,120 is make sure the stock stays strong. And if you don't have a lot 22 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,400 of expenses taking care of things, got lots of dough so the stock is 23 00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:42,560 valuable, all right. So that's kind of the story behind the story with 24 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:49,000 that. As Captain Grinch here, Captain Curmudgeon welcomes you to Christmas. That's 25 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,480 where you live. Yeah, yeah, right, exactly, all right. 26 00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:57,760 So there's a holiday tree that was given to a lot of children thanks to 27 00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:02,719 one hundred Black men of South Florida. That's an organization sponsored a Christmas shopping 28 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:08,599 spree for students who are standouts at various schools and in their communities as well. 29 00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:13,719 So they got one hundred bucks apiece. There are three hundred of these, 30 00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:17,120 by the way, they were escorted by these one hundred black men through 31 00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:23,240 the Miami Gardens. They went into Walmart. There had a lot of volunteers 32 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,960 from various organizations that had Santa hats. It's kind of a cool picture. 33 00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:31,639 They got to pick out whatever they wanted. But with the gift they were 34 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:38,000 given, they found that many of them chose to be blessed by others in 35 00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:42,919 the process, and that's not a bad thing. Here's a youngster who got 36 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:49,080 a PlayStation, an extra PlayStation controller so that she and her brother could play 37 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,960 together. And then there were people that went on looked for school supplies, 38 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,280 which kind of a nice thing. See that kind of motivation. Some got 39 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:05,800 shoes and so this is again smiling on the faces of children. This is 40 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,400 more important for Christmas time. You know, we have the religious message that's 41 00:03:10,439 --> 00:03:15,280 important to many people, and you have the giving that's important to a lot 42 00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:20,919 of people. You have the receiving which is important to a lot of people, 43 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,240 and there's just all the way around, there's this feeling of oneness or 44 00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:29,199 wholeness or I don't know, how would you describe it, Jay, what's 45 00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:30,479 the right word. Oh? Yeah, yeah, No, all of that, 46 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,599 the togetherness, religious being with each other. I think more than anything 47 00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:43,360 else donating if you will. So, Okay, now we get to the 48 00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:46,960 seriously silly stuff. In a manner of speaking, A lot of people will 49 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,360 not think that this is seriously silly. It's serious. But it also speaks 50 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,400 to the silliness of the times that we live in. Because candidate, a 51 00:03:54,479 --> 00:04:00,439 serious candidate for the presidency, has been told that he cannot run in Colorado. 52 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:06,039 He cannot be on the ballot in Colorado because of the January sixth riot 53 00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:14,039 in the capitol. So the Colorado Supreme Court made a decision based on what 54 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,800 they said was the fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which in this 55 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:26,240 particular case bars Donald Trump from the presidential primary ballot in the state of Colorado. 56 00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:31,519 So what will this do. You can absolutely be sure that the Supreme 57 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,519 Court of the United States will get this. Whether they decide to hear it 58 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:42,480 or not, that's the question. They may not, You never can tell. 59 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,240 The ruling in Colorado is four to three, but it'll be appealed and 60 00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:54,240 there'll be a lot of criticism. The Trumpsters will be out there right the 61 00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:59,079 magagas. There will be a lot of people who are happy about this, 62 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:02,079 and a lot of people who are angry about this sort of the state of 63 00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:09,920 the country. But when a majority of justices in the State Supreme Court make 64 00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:15,680 a decision and they say in the decision, is that it's proofed, they 65 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:24,120 have proof or they think they do that Trump engaged in insurrection, so it's 66 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,720 made that could be have been taken one way or another. I still remember 67 00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:32,600 when he had said Donald Trump, it said was that stand down. He 68 00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:38,360 told people to stand down and stand by. That added stand by thing rose 69 00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:41,560 a lot of questions for people. But when it all comes down to it, 70 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,680 my thought is doesn't really matter. The electoral college is who's going to 71 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,720 put the president in place? Anyway? How important does Colorado in the electoral 72 00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:54,040 college process, one would wonder. I haven't got an answer to that question. 73 00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:58,160 I'm just asking it because it's one of the questions that people have been 74 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:03,399 asking over the last eighteen hours since this decision was made. So they went 75 00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:11,000 on to say President Trump's direct and express efforts over several months exhorting his supporters 76 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,040 to march to the Capitol to prevent what he falsely characterized as an alleged fraud 77 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:24,879 on the American people were indisputably or they were indisputably overt and voluntary. Moreover, 78 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:30,680 they wrote, quote, the evidence amply showed that mister Trump undertook all 79 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:36,160 these actions to aid and further common unlawful purpose that he himself conceived and set 80 00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:43,560 in motion preventing Congress from certifying the twenty twenty presidential election and to stopping the 81 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,160 peaceful transfer of power. In light of this, they continue to write, 82 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:54,560 we conclude that because President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under 83 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,680 Section three, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the 84 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,519 second Scritaria to list Trump as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot. And 85 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,600 so they have stayed their ruling until January fourth, because certainly they will be 86 00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:18,360 an appeal. The question now comes, will this be calmly and intelligently reviewed 87 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,600 by the people who live in the state of Colorado or a bunch of people 88 00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:26,439 going to get on a bus or a plane and go to Denver and spread 89 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,959 out around the state. And because concern for any kind of what are they 90 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,720 going to do? And what is Trump going to do? What's he going 91 00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:41,360 to say? How is he going to enrage or engage the people who are 92 00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:48,240 his solid supporters at any rate, this gets deeper and deeper and deeper and 93 00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:56,959 more concerning and the wonder of what it is that we have brought ourselves to. 94 00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:03,839 How are we so angry? How are we this? How are we 95 00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:11,079 this contorted in our country? And is there a way to fix the problem? 96 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,360 That's really the whole thing. Is there a way to fix? Did 97 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,800 you say, Jay, is it? That's a good question? Yeah? 98 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:28,519 Yeah. And then there's the columnist Egene Carroll, the folks who are involved 99 00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:33,600 in this other Rudy Giuliani was it the other day he was told that he 100 00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:39,639 had to pay one hundred and something million dollars to the people that he'd maligned, 101 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:48,759 saying that they were involved in the fraudulent of Georgia election. And if 102 00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:52,120 you look around, you keep looking at all of these these court filings, 103 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:58,480 all the money that's being spent to defend and put that word in quotation, 104 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,480 marks Trump and his buddies, and so under the circumstances, what is it? 105 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,080 I think Julianna was one hundred and forty eight minion, I think that 106 00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:11,200 was the number. Yeah, it was something like huge, yeah, yeah, 107 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,799 huh right. Think about if the election does come down to Biden another 108 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,679 Biden administration for a second term or Trump getting back in. I see Trump, 109 00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:24,440 Trump and Biden like no penitenda. I do not see Biden with a 110 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,519 second term, which makes you wonder because he wasn't going to run for a 111 00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:31,919 second term until now. He wants to because he wants to defeat Donald Trump. 112 00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:35,200 But to think that, I don't know, just the audacity to think 113 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,759 that you are the best candidate for your party. Yeah, well, where 114 00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:45,000 is there? That's the question? Where is there a better one? Who's 115 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,440 there? Gavin Newsom certainly isn't. In the minds of most people who are 116 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,360 objective thinkers, He's not the one. So I don't know about this guy 117 00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:54,279 Dean Philly. He could get, we could get a third party candidate up 118 00:09:54,279 --> 00:10:00,039 the thing. Yeah, you know, a really good third party and the 119 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:05,320 two who are rattling around now, or maybe there's three because of Lynn Cheney. 120 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:11,480 But certainly you've got Kennedy and you have Joe Manchin. And the more 121 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:16,440 you mentioned Mansion, the more interesting he looks as well. So all right, 122 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:24,000 listen, it's a mess. Some of the trending items, or at 123 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,840 least one of the social media things that are trending about a lady that I 124 00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:31,759 have always thought was this. I don't know what this sounds like. Cute 125 00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:37,919 as a button, that's an old expression. Somebody who is just very likable 126 00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:41,679 seems likable. I'm told in person, she is likable. I'm talking about 127 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:48,360 Jennifer Love Hewitt, who has aged, because we all age, right, 128 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,480 She's been in Hollywood since she was in her early twenties. She's been on 129 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,000 movies, in movies, television shows, that sort of thing. Pretty recognizable 130 00:10:56,039 --> 00:11:00,960 and that name attracts people's attention to, right, don't you think so, 131 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:07,759 Jay, Jennifer Love HEWITTT Yeah, but she is a love She is getting 132 00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:11,080 older. Jay's getting older, Doug's getting older, everybody's getting older. Right, 133 00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:18,200 so the way birthdays work? Yeah, right, one after another after 134 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:24,600 another. Wow, he's houie. So anyway, somebody has been Some people 135 00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:31,080 have been trolling Jennifer Love Hewitt, and she has responded by talking about aging 136 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,120 in Hollywood and how hard it is and what seems no matter what you do, 137 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,960 you don't do anything right. She's been, as I said, and 138 00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:45,360 lots since she's very recognizable. I think so she's reacting to this criticism. 139 00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:50,120 I don't believe I guess the word is troll. What don't you have anything 140 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,919 better to do than look at pictures or a video of Jennifer love Hewitt and 141 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,519 take a shot at her because she's getting older. Hello. Well, and 142 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,279 then you have the added part of it. People put together these before and 143 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:07,720 after photos to imply that they've had cosmetic surgery done, when it's pretty much 144 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,600 from how their age of when they came on the scene, like seventeen eighteen, 145 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,519 nineteen years old, with how old they are now, whether it's thirty, 146 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,679 thirty, five, forty. Of course your face looks different, the 147 00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:22,159 volume in your cheeks drops, gravity exists. Let's introduce you to that for 148 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,679 a moment. Let you know what that's all about. Does that mean you 149 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,320 can't act? She's an actress, and so does it? What is it 150 00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:31,919 her looks? I thought, you know she's These are the couch warriors who 151 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,840 want to want to jump in and say that people. I mean her name 152 00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:37,240 Zellweger. When she left the scene for a little bit and came back and 153 00:12:37,759 --> 00:12:41,360 she was looking older. Meg Ryan has dealt with us. Jennifer Lawrence is 154 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,360 in her early thirties and she's already dealing with this. She came out with 155 00:12:45,759 --> 00:12:50,440 and people are talking about with the nineteen year old photo versus her thirty year 156 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,919 old photo, and she's like, yeah, I lost my baby fat like 157 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,960 things happen you get older. How many men don't deal with this? No, 158 00:12:56,279 --> 00:13:00,799 thats don't have to deal with this? Right? Why is it that 159 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,960 there are not? Are we that shallow? Maybe that's the question we'll ask 160 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,600 ourselves as we look in the mirror? Are you that shallow that you judge 161 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:15,080 people by the way they look in circumstances like that? And then tis tisk 162 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,799 on you? Right? Who doesn't change? Maybe we're changing a rather better, 163 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,679 but we all change. People talk all the time about how other people. 164 00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:26,960 Hey have you seen how Alice looks these days? She's getting a little 165 00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:30,559 fat? You know that? Yeah, it's always the woman let themselves go 166 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,240 and then the man, oh yeah, not that fat slaboo's her husband, 167 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,080 but just huh yeah? Or I feel like women get the comment, well 168 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,960 you look good for your age. You just look good. There's no for 169 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,960 your age tag down to I get that all the time. No, I 170 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,559 get that you're looking pretty at your age. Oh yeah, all the time. 171 00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:54,639 Who compliment? But why do people just say you look good. Why 172 00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:01,000 I'm Greg. I'm sixty en All. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, 173 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,759 major in business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. 174 00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:09,399 Part of the reason for my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like 175 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,679 I have a calling or giving back to the younger generation. You know, 176 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,960 the golden rule is do unto others you'd have them do unto you. My 177 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,600 wife, Wanda, as a senior flight attendant. She's been flying for over 178 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:24,039 thirty years. We do laugh quite a bit. I think most adults will 179 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,519 start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to, or 180 00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:33,759 they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. I've been taking Previlegen 181 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,440 for about three years now. People say to me periodical, Man, you 182 00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:43,919 got a memory like an alphant. It's really really helped me tremendously. Prevagen 183 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,120 healthier brain, better life. Greg Freeley is a paid testimonialist and real Privilegen 184 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,039 user based on the clinical study of subgroups of individuals who were cognitively normal or 185 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,240 mildly impaired. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, 186 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,399 or prevent any disease. The I remember talking about this last year, the 187 00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:09,559 episodes of Isaac Winfield who opened a food bank last year in his garden shed 188 00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:13,240 to help people. It was still lead, it was a kind of the 189 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:18,360 trail end of COVID, and so he had success helping people. So now 190 00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:24,440 he's going to open a gift bank for mothers and fathers who can't afford presents 191 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,279 for their children. So he's going to have the food bank and he's going 192 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,200 to have the gift bank, and so this is going to affect a lot 193 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,240 of people. You know, this is a big month for anybody who's trying 194 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,440 to come up. It happens to be this kid, Isaac's birthday month as 195 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:48,159 well. And certainly the food bank he used his own money that was given 196 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,720 to him on his birthday. What kind of a kid is this? Right? 197 00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:58,240 What you want this kid to be's definitely an attitude of gratitude knowing Z 198 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,159 and wanting other kids to feel the same way sharing that, And he's absolutely 199 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,039 awesome. And this is also a way that has helped him himself with overcoming 200 00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:11,039 what he calls overcoming his shyness. Yeah, and so the responses you can 201 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:17,440 imagine has been phenomenal to all of his good works as good deeds. There 202 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,600 are people who are going out buying presents to give things that didn't work, 203 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:27,600 I suppose regifting in a manner of speaking. The support for this though, 204 00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:32,279 baby toys and books and dollars. So there reason I'm telling you this story. 205 00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:36,639 Why can't this happen in your neighborhood? Why can't you or somebody that 206 00:16:36,679 --> 00:16:40,840 you know, Maybe you already have, but if you haven't, maybe it's 207 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,000 a good thing to do. Think about what you can do. There are 208 00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:48,440 all kinds of ways you can get people to donate toys and food linked to 209 00:16:48,559 --> 00:16:55,440 something on social media or whatever. You know, it's something. There isn't 210 00:16:55,559 --> 00:16:57,360 enough of this through the year. There's lots of it this time of year 211 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,799 because that's the spirit of the season. But getting people, I mean, 212 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,359 am I asking for too much? Though? Jay? Do you think when 213 00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:10,279 you know, you get right down to brass tacks, is it somebody? 214 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,880 Would people be as enthusiastic if they were trying to do this all year long. 215 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,680 Maybe it's the holidays that bring about Yeah, I feel like there's a 216 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,359 little bit of a mood of wanting to help more so towards the end of 217 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:30,839 the year and there is year round yeah, yep, all right. And 218 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,160 then there are people, can you believe this? People are complaining to me 219 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:41,640 about the amount of time I'm spending talking about Christmas stuff. Huh, what 220 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,119 is the matter with you? And people who don't like the ba humbuggers they're 221 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,279 like Christmas and I get it. There are people who are older or bob 222 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,680 themselves. They don't want to hear it because it makes them feel bad. 223 00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:56,000 But I'm sorry for you because that's not going to happen. What we're going 224 00:17:56,079 --> 00:18:00,799 to do here the next couple of days and Christmas is we'll do what we're 225 00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:03,799 doing right now. Yeah, there are things going on in the world that 226 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:10,559 need attention and discussion. But those of you who seem to be so much 227 00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:12,960 a part of the digital age, all you want to do is complain about 228 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:18,400 stuff. Please go somewhere else, listen to another program, just go away. 229 00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:23,119 You know it just is not You're not helping anything. You're creating a 230 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:29,160 problem, not only for yourself but for others who pay attention to you. 231 00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:33,079 I'm I guess I shouldn't be paying attention to you, but I am to 232 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,799 a point where I don't. I want you to know I don't like it, 233 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,079 and you can go away, or you can listen and you know, 234 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,319 maybe take action to help other people or feel better, do something, but 235 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,240 get out of yourself, right, get away from yourself. Here's something that's 236 00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:56,240 going great. Christmas is great? Is no just good news? Good news? 237 00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:57,960 Good news? Yeah, it's great and it happens to a lot of 238 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:03,119 it be a holiday oriented right now. And here's one of those stories. 239 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:11,359 Jay, there's something going on in the nation's penal system. I guess that's 240 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:18,759 the best way to put it. There are prisons, well, there is 241 00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:26,680 that, But then there's the the people who are in families where there is 242 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:33,799 a member of the family behind bars and it's harder to do this. You 243 00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:37,960 know. This is you take a deep breath when you think, okay, 244 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,960 what about the children of people who are in jail or the spouses of people 245 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,480 in jail, and what are they doing to communicate? And so there's a 246 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,920 excuse me for a second. Yeah, especially the children. Are they dealing 247 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,599 with an overwhelmed parent? Are they in the foster care system? Well? 248 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,559 Are they? No? This is this is something. Yeah, there's that, 249 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:02,960 but there's a something we started during the pandemic, when even in jail, 250 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,960 people would not go to be close to other people. Family members go 251 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,319 to visit somebody in jail, and they would they'd either have a mask on 252 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:17,000 or they wouldn't let them in perst you know, period. So there's there's 253 00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:23,799 been a move it started North Carolina actually to put videos in to jails so 254 00:20:23,839 --> 00:20:30,480 that when you if you can't get to where your family member is, you 255 00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:33,839 can't see them, you know, one on one. There's a video hookup 256 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,240 that's been set up in a lot of jails. More and more around the 257 00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:45,839 country are switching to remote video systems for family visits. Families have to pay 258 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:51,279 the video service contractor eight dollars for twenty minutes. That's what I kind of 259 00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:55,119 have a problem is it's somebody making money on this. But I think it's 260 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,880 an interesting concept. What do you think They have videos so that people can 261 00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:03,880 you know, talk for Adams State. Traveling is not as easy as it 262 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:11,200 once was, and people people are still making relatively speaking, the same amount 263 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,839 of money they were, but inflation has made everything so much more expensive. 264 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,599 It's difficult. And when you want to be with the people that you love 265 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,680 and see them and talk with them. I think this video chat kind of 266 00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:26,240 thing is great, especially because the technology is already there. We all have 267 00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:30,920 it in the palm of our hands. Yep. There. It is unbelievable. 268 00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:37,400 All right, Well, what am I going to do? Can't make 269 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,559 the world better one person? Well maybe you can one person at a time. 270 00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:45,480 Here's something going on that not many people know about regarding the Middle East 271 00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:51,680 War, an aspect of the war that has not been covered by the news 272 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:59,640 media. Apparently the United States and some of our allies have got together to 273 00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:11,000 try to fix this escalating problem in this region of Yemen where what is happening 274 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,799 is that, well, there's nine or ten nations who have come together to 275 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,319 try to stop the attacks on vessels that are in the Red Sea. They're 276 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:26,480 not just the United States, but a lot of European navies are represented there. 277 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:33,680 And so what's happening is that there are attacks on these ships by people 278 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,119 that are in a certain part of Yemen. It's the Hooties h o U 279 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:45,440 tis a group back by Iran. I don't know why we don't just blow 280 00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:48,000 up. I know this is sound silly, maybe because we shouldn't do this, 281 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:53,480 but go blow up where the Ayatola is because there's nothing but a problem 282 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,680 anyway. So there's an initiative dubbed Operation Prosperity Guardian. You love these things 283 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:07,720 that the military comes up with, Operation Prosperity Guardian. And so the British 284 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,759 are in it, Canadians, the French, the Italians, the Netherland, 285 00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:17,160 you know what kind of a navy they have, Norway, Spain, some 286 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:22,440 of the other NATO allies. And so whether or not it has impact, 287 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,480 it's too early to tell. But there are people, As I said, 288 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,359 most people don't know about this story. That's why I'm telling it because all 289 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:37,279 of the hardware that's being paid for by Iran to support these groups that are 290 00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:41,839 in Yemen that are basically more of a nuisance than anything else. But there 291 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,880 have been some sailors on some of these ships that have been killed by the 292 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:51,640 stuff dropped off these off the drones that are flying around, and they just 293 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,240 you know, they need to They've warned these people against continuing their attacks, 294 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,160 but they're not paying any attention because they think doing the work of God. 295 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,599 And that's because the Iyah told us says, this is the work of God. 296 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:10,720 You need to destroy the infidels. On these ships and madness. It's 297 00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:14,519 madness, it is. I mean, how else would you describe it other 298 00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:22,279 than being complete madness. It is so anyway, Secretary of State Blinking had 299 00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:29,720 a call with his Saudi counterpart yesterday. They asked the Saudis why they wouldn't 300 00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:33,640 cooperate with the rest of these countries, because they want to uphold maritime security 301 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:40,519 and a lot of the oil that's being taken out of Saudi Arabia is jeopardized 302 00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:45,799 by the activity of these hooties and some of the other nutcake groups that are 303 00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:51,079 out there just indiscriminately throwing bombs at everybody. So I guess that you didn't 304 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,640 know that before I talked about it, but now you do. So it's 305 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,839 great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off 306 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,000 the hook and people would be ordering nauseum. That's right.

And so I'm looking at some of the 321 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:12,599 online scams that have targeted holiday travelers, those of you who are traveling around 322 00:26:14,079 --> 00:26:19,359 looking for bargains before Christmas. How do you get some? You know? 323 00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:25,079 Is sometimes it starts, but it's like Black Friday, it starts before Black 324 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,960 Friday. Sometimes these things start before Christmas. Like I think you're going to 325 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,559 be seeing a lot of this stuff over the weekend. Things, Well, 326 00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:38,200 holidays are over you can get really good deals on all kinds of things like 327 00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:45,160 vacations, but fraudsters are everywhere, and so if you're going to do business 328 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:49,839 with somebody, you better check with a better business bureau in your community to 329 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:56,480 see if the people who you're attracted to doing business with are guilty of scams, 330 00:26:56,519 --> 00:27:02,920 because that'll be very obvious.

People are trying. There's the vacation rental thing, free vacation 334 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:22,160 scams, there are you know the difference between I have this thing that we 335 00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:26,319 advertise, the five point forty one travel with two nights and three days in 336 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,279 Las Vegas. That's legit, as any number of hundreds of people who have 337 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,759 done it can tell you. But some people think, well, because they're 338 00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:37,640 trying to they ask you if you want to stay more than two days. 339 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,240 Of course they're going to ask you that, and they can set you up, 340 00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:41,920 but that's not a scams.

I think I'll stay for four 343 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,079 days. But that's not a scam. It's you know, some people think 344 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,279 it is because they they think not necessarily in a straight line. But there 345 00:27:57,319 --> 00:28:00,759 are a lot of booking scams, a lot of travel scams.

But the truth of the matter is 355 00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:42,200 legitimate businesses don't do that. Nope, anymore in the IRS calls you. 356 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,960 They're not going to call you. I'm just looking at something.
