The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Keltron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by previagent keeping your brain healthy. It's a
Good Day program on December twentieth, two thirds of the way through the month,
and winter Soulstice arrives later on. I think it's actually tomorrow afternoon,
and then it's the first full day of winter is Friday, if not mistaken,
so we have that to celebrate. Depending on where you are and which
you're doing. Weather wise, we here in the Northeast had a walloping storm
earlier in the week and thousands, tens of thousands, actually hundreds of thousands
of people up in Maine. Here in Massachusetts there is a fierce storm and
knocked out power because the electric utility companies do not do a good job keeping
the lines clear. So you know, they'll tell you they'll sending out trucks
and they keep the line that's not There are a lot of dead trees all
along the roadways everywhere that had been killed by the salt has been spread on
the roads over the years. So when a sixty seventy mile an hour wind
hits it goodbye and see you later. It looks like it might be into
the weekend before people have their power back, and it's just inexcusable. Really,
there's no other than the corporate greed. I get it because the people
who run these companies are not interested in the public good. They're interested in
the value of the stock. So that's what they get paid to do,
is make sure the stock stays strong. And if you don't have a lot
of expenses taking care of things, got lots of dough so the stock is
valuable, all right. So that's kind of the story behind the story with
that. As Captain Grinch here, Captain Curmudgeon welcomes you to Christmas. That's
where you live. Yeah, yeah, right, exactly, all right.
So there's a holiday tree that was given to a lot of children thanks to
one hundred Black men of South Florida. That's an organization sponsored a Christmas shopping
spree for students who are standouts at various schools and in their communities as well.
So they got one hundred bucks apiece. There are three hundred of these,
by the way, they were escorted by these one hundred black men through
the Miami Gardens. They went into Walmart. There had a lot of volunteers
from various organizations that had Santa hats. It's kind of a cool picture.
They got to pick out whatever they wanted. But with the gift they were
given, they found that many of them chose to be blessed by others in
the process, and that's not a bad thing. Here's a youngster who got
a PlayStation, an extra PlayStation controller so that she and her brother could play
together. And then there were people that went on looked for school supplies,
which kind of a nice thing. See that kind of motivation. Some got
shoes and so this is again smiling on the faces of children. This is
more important for Christmas time. You know, we have the religious message that's
important to many people, and you have the giving that's important to a lot
of people. You have the receiving which is important to a lot of people,
and there's just all the way around, there's this feeling of oneness or
wholeness or I don't know, how would you describe it, Jay, what's
the right word. Oh? Yeah, yeah, No, all of that,
the togetherness, religious being with each other. I think more than anything
else donating if you will. So, Okay, now we get to the
seriously silly stuff. In a manner of speaking, A lot of people will
not think that this is seriously silly. It's serious. But it also speaks
to the silliness of the times that we live in. Because candidate, a
serious candidate for the presidency, has been told that he cannot run in Colorado.
He cannot be on the ballot in Colorado because of the January sixth riot
in the capitol. So the Colorado Supreme Court made a decision based on what
they said was the fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which in this
particular case bars Donald Trump from the presidential primary ballot in the state of Colorado.
So what will this do. You can absolutely be sure that the Supreme
Court of the United States will get this. Whether they decide to hear it
or not, that's the question. They may not, You never can tell.
The ruling in Colorado is four to three, but it'll be appealed and
there'll be a lot of criticism. The Trumpsters will be out there right the
magagas. There will be a lot of people who are happy about this,
and a lot of people who are angry about this sort of the state of
the country. But when a majority of justices in the State Supreme Court make
a decision and they say in the decision, is that it's proofed, they
have proof or they think they do that Trump engaged in insurrection, so it's
made that could be have been taken one way or another. I still remember
when he had said Donald Trump, it said was that stand down. He
told people to stand down and stand by. That added stand by thing rose
a lot of questions for people. But when it all comes down to it,
my thought is doesn't really matter. The electoral college is who's going to
put the president in place? Anyway? How important does Colorado in the electoral
college process, one would wonder. I haven't got an answer to that question.
I'm just asking it because it's one of the questions that people have been
asking over the last eighteen hours since this decision was made. So they went
on to say President Trump's direct and express efforts over several months exhorting his supporters
to march to the Capitol to prevent what he falsely characterized as an alleged fraud
on the American people were indisputably or they were indisputably overt and voluntary. Moreover,
they wrote, quote, the evidence amply showed that mister Trump undertook all
these actions to aid and further common unlawful purpose that he himself conceived and set
in motion preventing Congress from certifying the twenty twenty presidential election and to stopping the
peaceful transfer of power. In light of this, they continue to write,
we conclude that because President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under
Section three, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the
second Scritaria to list Trump as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot. And
so they have stayed their ruling until January fourth, because certainly they will be
an appeal. The question now comes, will this be calmly and intelligently reviewed
by the people who live in the state of Colorado or a bunch of people
going to get on a bus or a plane and go to Denver and spread
out around the state. And because concern for any kind of what are they
going to do? And what is Trump going to do? What's he going
to say? How is he going to enrage or engage the people who are
his solid supporters at any rate, this gets deeper and deeper and deeper and
more concerning and the wonder of what it is that we have brought ourselves to.
How are we so angry? How are we this? How are we
this contorted in our country? And is there a way to fix the problem?
That's really the whole thing. Is there a way to fix? Did
you say, Jay, is it? That's a good question? Yeah?
Yeah. And then there's the columnist Egene Carroll, the folks who are involved
in this other Rudy Giuliani was it the other day he was told that he
had to pay one hundred and something million dollars to the people that he'd maligned,
saying that they were involved in the fraudulent of Georgia election. And if
you look around, you keep looking at all of these these court filings,
all the money that's being spent to defend and put that word in quotation,
marks Trump and his buddies, and so under the circumstances, what is it?
I think Julianna was one hundred and forty eight minion, I think that
was the number. Yeah, it was something like huge, yeah, yeah,
huh right. Think about if the election does come down to Biden another
Biden administration for a second term or Trump getting back in. I see Trump,
Trump and Biden like no penitenda. I do not see Biden with a
second term, which makes you wonder because he wasn't going to run for a
second term until now. He wants to because he wants to defeat Donald Trump.
But to think that, I don't know, just the audacity to think
that you are the best candidate for your party. Yeah, well, where
is there? That's the question? Where is there a better one? Who's
there? Gavin Newsom certainly isn't. In the minds of most people who are
objective thinkers, He's not the one. So I don't know about this guy
Dean Philly. He could get, we could get a third party candidate up
the thing. Yeah, you know, a really good third party and the
two who are rattling around now, or maybe there's three because of Lynn Cheney.
But certainly you've got Kennedy and you have Joe Manchin. And the more
you mentioned Mansion, the more interesting he looks as well. So all right,
listen, it's a mess. Some of the trending items, or at
least one of the social media things that are trending about a lady that I
have always thought was this. I don't know what this sounds like. Cute
as a button, that's an old expression. Somebody who is just very likable
seems likable. I'm told in person, she is likable. I'm talking about
Jennifer Love Hewitt, who has aged, because we all age, right,
She's been in Hollywood since she was in her early twenties. She's been on
movies, in movies, television shows, that sort of thing. Pretty recognizable
and that name attracts people's attention to, right, don't you think so,
Jay, Jennifer Love HEWITTT Yeah, but she is a love She is getting
older. Jay's getting older, Doug's getting older, everybody's getting older. Right,
so the way birthdays work? Yeah, right, one after another after
another. Wow, he's houie. So anyway, somebody has been Some people
have been trolling Jennifer Love Hewitt, and she has responded by talking about aging
in Hollywood and how hard it is and what seems no matter what you do,
you don't do anything right. She's been, as I said, and
lots since she's very recognizable. I think so she's reacting to this criticism.
I don't believe I guess the word is troll. What don't you have anything
better to do than look at pictures or a video of Jennifer love Hewitt and
take a shot at her because she's getting older. Hello. Well, and
then you have the added part of it. People put together these before and
after photos to imply that they've had cosmetic surgery done, when it's pretty much
from how their age of when they came on the scene, like seventeen eighteen,
nineteen years old, with how old they are now, whether it's thirty,
thirty, five, forty. Of course your face looks different, the
volume in your cheeks drops, gravity exists. Let's introduce you to that for
a moment. Let you know what that's all about. Does that mean you
can't act? She's an actress, and so does it? What is it
her looks? I thought, you know she's These are the couch warriors who
want to want to jump in and say that people. I mean her name
Zellweger. When she left the scene for a little bit and came back and
she was looking older. Meg Ryan has dealt with us. Jennifer Lawrence is
in her early thirties and she's already dealing with this. She came out with
and people are talking about with the nineteen year old photo versus her thirty year
old photo, and she's like, yeah, I lost my baby fat like
things happen you get older. How many men don't deal with this? No,
thats don't have to deal with this? Right? Why is it that
there are not? Are we that shallow? Maybe that's the question we'll ask
ourselves as we look in the mirror? Are you that shallow that you judge
people by the way they look in circumstances like that? And then tis tisk
on you? Right? Who doesn't change? Maybe we're changing a rather better,
but we all change. People talk all the time about how other people.
Hey have you seen how Alice looks these days? She's getting a little
fat? You know that? Yeah, it's always the woman let themselves go
and then the man, oh yeah, not that fat slaboo's her husband,
but just huh yeah? Or I feel like women get the comment, well
you look good for your age. You just look good. There's no for
your age tag down to I get that all the time. No, I
get that you're looking pretty at your age. Oh yeah, all the time.
Who compliment? But why do people just say you look good. Why
I'm Greg. I'm sixty en All. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio,
major in business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching.
Part of the reason for my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like
I have a calling or giving back to the younger generation. You know,
the golden rule is do unto others you'd have them do unto you. My
wife, Wanda, as a senior flight attendant. She's been flying for over
thirty years. We do laugh quite a bit. I think most adults will
start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to, or
they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. I've been taking Previlegen
for about three years now. People say to me periodical, Man, you
got a memory like an alphant. It's really really helped me tremendously. Prevagen
healthier brain, better life. Greg Freeley is a paid testimonialist and real Privilegen

episodes of Isaac Winfield who opened a food bank last year in his garden shed
to help people. It was still lead, it was a kind of the
trail end of COVID, and so he had success helping people. So now
he's going to open a gift bank for mothers and fathers who can't afford presents
for their children. So he's going to have the food bank and he's going
to have the gift bank, and so this is going to affect a lot
of people. You know, this is a big month for anybody who's trying
to come up. It happens to be this kid, Isaac's birthday month as
well. And certainly the food bank he used his own money that was given
to him on his birthday. What kind of a kid is this? Right?
What you want this kid to be's definitely an attitude of gratitude knowing Z
and wanting other kids to feel the same way sharing that, And he's absolutely
awesome. And this is also a way that has helped him himself with overcoming
what he calls overcoming his shyness. Yeah, and so the responses you can
imagine has been phenomenal to all of his good works as good deeds. There
are people who are going out buying presents to give things that didn't work,
I suppose regifting in a manner of speaking. The support for this though,
baby toys and books and dollars. So there reason I'm telling you this story.
Why can't this happen in your neighborhood? Why can't you or somebody that
you know, Maybe you already have, but if you haven't, maybe it's
a good thing to do. Think about what you can do. There are
all kinds of ways you can get people to donate toys and food linked to
something on social media or whatever. You know, it's something. There isn't
enough of this through the year. There's lots of it this time of year
because that's the spirit of the season. But getting people, I mean,
am I asking for too much? Though? Jay? Do you think when
you know, you get right down to brass tacks, is it somebody?
Would people be as enthusiastic if they were trying to do this all year long.
Maybe it's the holidays that bring about Yeah, I feel like there's a
little bit of a mood of wanting to help more so towards the end of
the year and there is year round yeah, yep, all right. And
then there are people, can you believe this? People are complaining to me
about the amount of time I'm spending talking about Christmas stuff. Huh, what
is the matter with you? And people who don't like the ba humbuggers they're
like Christmas and I get it. There are people who are older or bob
themselves. They don't want to hear it because it makes them feel bad.
But I'm sorry for you because that's not going to happen. What we're going
to do here the next couple of days and Christmas is we'll do what we're
doing right now. Yeah, there are things going on in the world that
need attention and discussion. But those of you who seem to be so much
a part of the digital age, all you want to do is complain about
stuff. Please go somewhere else, listen to another program, just go away.
You know it just is not You're not helping anything. You're creating a
problem, not only for yourself but for others who pay attention to you.
I'm I guess I shouldn't be paying attention to you, but I am to
a point where I don't. I want you to know I don't like it,
and you can go away, or you can listen and you know,
maybe take action to help other people or feel better, do something, but
get out of yourself, right, get away from yourself. Here's something that's
going great. Christmas is great? Is no just good news? Good news?
Good news? Yeah, it's great and it happens to a lot of
it be a holiday oriented right now. And here's one of those stories.
Jay, there's something going on in the nation's penal system. I guess that's
the best way to put it. There are prisons, well, there is
that, But then there's the the people who are in families where there is
a member of the family behind bars and it's harder to do this. You
know. This is you take a deep breath when you think, okay,
what about the children of people who are in jail or the spouses of people
in jail, and what are they doing to communicate? And so there's a
excuse me for a second. Yeah, especially the children. Are they dealing
with an overwhelmed parent? Are they in the foster care system? Well?
Are they? No? This is this is something. Yeah, there's that,
but there's a something we started during the pandemic, when even in jail,
people would not go to be close to other people. Family members go
to visit somebody in jail, and they would they'd either have a mask on
or they wouldn't let them in perst you know, period. So there's there's
been a move it started North Carolina actually to put videos in to jails so
that when you if you can't get to where your family member is, you
can't see them, you know, one on one. There's a video hookup
that's been set up in a lot of jails. More and more around the
country are switching to remote video systems for family visits. Families have to pay
the video service contractor eight dollars for twenty minutes. That's what I kind of
have a problem is it's somebody making money on this. But I think it's
an interesting concept. What do you think They have videos so that people can
you know, talk for Adams State. Traveling is not as easy as it
once was, and people people are still making relatively speaking, the same amount
of money they were, but inflation has made everything so much more expensive.
It's difficult. And when you want to be with the people that you love
and see them and talk with them. I think this video chat kind of
thing is great, especially because the technology is already there. We all have
it in the palm of our hands. Yep. There. It is unbelievable.
All right, Well, what am I going to do? Can't make
the world better one person? Well maybe you can one person at a time.
Here's something going on that not many people know about regarding the Middle East
War, an aspect of the war that has not been covered by the news
media. Apparently the United States and some of our allies have got together to
try to fix this escalating problem in this region of Yemen where what is happening
is that, well, there's nine or ten nations who have come together to
try to stop the attacks on vessels that are in the Red Sea. They're
not just the United States, but a lot of European navies are represented there.
And so what's happening is that there are attacks on these ships by people
that are in a certain part of Yemen. It's the Hooties h o U
tis a group back by Iran. I don't know why we don't just blow
up. I know this is sound silly, maybe because we shouldn't do this,
but go blow up where the Ayatola is because there's nothing but a problem
anyway. So there's an initiative dubbed Operation Prosperity Guardian. You love these things
that the military comes up with, Operation Prosperity Guardian. And so the British
are in it, Canadians, the French, the Italians, the Netherland,
you know what kind of a navy they have, Norway, Spain, some
of the other NATO allies. And so whether or not it has impact,
it's too early to tell. But there are people, As I said,
most people don't know about this story. That's why I'm telling it because all
of the hardware that's being paid for by Iran to support these groups that are
in Yemen that are basically more of a nuisance than anything else. But there
have been some sailors on some of these ships that have been killed by the
stuff dropped off these off the drones that are flying around, and they just
you know, they need to They've warned these people against continuing their attacks,
but they're not paying any attention because they think doing the work of God.
And that's because the Iyah told us says, this is the work of God.
You need to destroy the infidels. On these ships and madness. It's
madness, it is. I mean, how else would you describe it other
than being complete madness. It is so anyway, Secretary of State Blinking had
a call with his Saudi counterpart yesterday. They asked the Saudis why they wouldn't
cooperate with the rest of these countries, because they want to uphold maritime security
and a lot of the oil that's being taken out of Saudi Arabia is jeopardized
by the activity of these hooties and some of the other nutcake groups that are
out there just indiscriminately throwing bombs at everybody. So I guess that you didn't
know that before I talked about it, but now you do. So it's
great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off

media time, you look around the world, what's going on? People procuring
technology for not exactly positive purposes? And so I'm looking at some of the
online scams that have targeted holiday travelers, those of you who are traveling around
looking for bargains before Christmas. How do you get some? You know?
Is sometimes it starts, but it's like Black Friday, it starts before Black
Friday. Sometimes these things start before Christmas. Like I think you're going to
be seeing a lot of this stuff over the weekend. Things, Well,
holidays are over you can get really good deals on all kinds of things like
vacations, but fraudsters are everywhere, and so if you're going to do business
with somebody, you better check with a better business bureau in your community to
see if the people who you're attracted to doing business with are guilty of scams,
because that'll be very obvious. And so anyway, especially with people who
want to up here where I am in New England, they want to go
to where it's warm in the wintertime, and there are all kinds of fake
listings everywhere. People are trying. There's the vacation rental thing, free vacation
scams, there are you know the difference between I have this thing that we
advertise, the five point forty one travel with two nights and three days in
Las Vegas. That's legit, as any number of hundreds of people who have
done it can tell you. But some people think, well, because they're
trying to they ask you if you want to stay more than two days.
Of course they're going to ask you that, and they can set you up,
but that's not a scams. You say, yeah, I want to
go for two days and that's it, thanks very much, or you say,
you know, what a great idea. I think I'll stay for four
days. But that's not a scam. It's you know, some people think
it is because they they think not necessarily in a straight line. But there
are a lot of booking scams, a lot of travel scams. Oh,
the third party booking scams, especially because you have these third party websites that
look so incredibly legit. Yeah, they offer a discount for booking everything at
once, your airfare, your stay, if you need a rental car.
And then as soon as you put in your information, somebody calls you claiming
to be from this place, which they are because it's all the same scam.
And then they ask for your personal information just to confirm things like your
name, your address, your banking information, all of those personal details.
And people think it's real because they just they just submitted information for this,
so why wouldn't they already be calling. But the truth of the matter is
legitimate businesses don't do that. Nope, anymore in the IRS calls you.
They're not going to call you. I'm just looking at something. There's a
Verizon thing in my email this morning with an account number. This is going
to be shut off in December if you don't pay it. And I looked
at the account number. I don't have an account number, but how many
people are going to look at that? I better pay right, let's do
Yeah, Well call this mere where more and more people are shopping like Amazon
or the packages. You get a text message with a link saying that there
is an issue with the US Postal Service or UPS or FedEx and you just
need to confirm something or your package will be sent back to the sunder.
And people fall for it because we're all getting packages. We're all sending packages
right now. The men who were charged with illegally procuring American technology for the
Islamic Revolutionary Guards, this is a drone program using our technology, using social
media. This is we're back to the Iranians again and what they're up to
no good. And so apparently there's a group of Chinese and Iranians and I'm
not sure where the Russians are involved in this and up, but they're all
co conspirators using a web of foreign companies to get EVAs. They're evading the
justice system and getting at ways of using you know, they like the unwinning
French company that purchased something from a US company to be used against US.
So that's something that they're using technology on and not good. Got to be
aware of this stuff all the time. The next Stefan Good Day download with
