1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,320 The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,000 part by Keltron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,880 keep it off. Buy new car, get one that's made on Wednesday, 4 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,960 good idea, and today would be the day. So you can go to 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,839 your local dealer and say, I want to know what was made a month 6 00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:25,719 ago today, or two months ago today, whatever it is. Although the 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:32,640 car dealers are on our bad list because the folks at GM and Honda mostly, 8 00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:36,000 but Fords in on it as well, a couple of the car makers 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,359 who are working hard to get AM radios out of their cars and their trucks. 10 00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:43,439 To the point, I think I went over this the other day, 11 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,640 Jay right, how much money had been spent by the car manufacturers on lobbyists 12 00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:54,159 millions, as it turns out, hundreds of thousands by each of the companies. 13 00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:58,000 Although I think GM and Honda spent a couple of million to try to 14 00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:02,200 keep AM what's the matter with them? What do they think they're going to 15 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,680 gain by taking AM radioun list? They don't want to sell cars to people 16 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,840 who are over the age of forty. Let's say it's I don't know. 17 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:19,480 I wonder sometimes where AM radio is kind of a safety measure. Yep, 18 00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:23,200 No, it's the it's the thinking of people who are young bean counters that 19 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,920 are running a lot of companies. Now this is exciting. Look, we 20 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,400 got a forty year old general manager, a forty two year old CEO, 21 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,120 and they're so smart, they're going to lead the way. Well, they 22 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,480 may have good ideas and new ideas, but there's nothing good about the idea 23 00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:45,640 to take am radios out of cars, so especially given the resistance to buying 24 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,680 an electric vehicle, which is rampant among all ages, depending on the part 25 00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:55,319 of the country that you live in. And so I unders I don't know. 26 00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:57,120 Well, I was going to say, I understand, I don't really 27 00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:00,159 get it. But then that's me. I'm de Stefan. That's me. 28 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:05,319 And then there's Jay Kursner over there, that's her. She's got her. 29 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:07,519 What are they? What do you put behind your name? You don't do 30 00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:13,879 that, but her, she and they put up my name like the junior, 31 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,039 senior, second, third, fourth. I'm an original. No, 32 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,599 I know you are. That's why you're here. Hello, yay for JA. 33 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,080 That's a good new slogan. By the way, write that down, 34 00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:30,479 James Wit you please yay for Jay whose behavior is above and beyond reproach. 35 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,360 She's motivated well, she has ability, she has promptness. When we need 36 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,159 to get on the air on time, she's there. She's got personality. 37 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,599 I was thinking, where am I going with all of this behavior? Think 38 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,319 about your behavior and who learns from what you do? If you are The 39 00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,159 other day, when I was driving in Los Angeles Sun the way to my 40 00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:58,800 son's house, this guy in an Audi was driving up Placienaga Boulevard and he 41 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,840 was passing to the left to the right. He almost went up on the 42 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:07,240 sidewalk and he was just charging through. And I looked over because he had 43 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,080 to stop at a red light. And there are two little kids in the 44 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,120 back of the car. What do you think they're learning? Watching their father? 45 00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:16,560 And this goes to those people who drive like that. If you have 46 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,240 children in the car, what do you think they're learning? Their mind? 47 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,439 You're endangering them driving like a maniac. But what are they learning what he 48 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:30,280 is saying? They are definitely learning those words and phrases. Yeah, you 49 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:37,080 behavior stuff much as anything else. All right, So now we have ten 50 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,560 past the hour, the total eclipse and where it occurs and how to see 51 00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:47,479 it. The air that you breathe in the Ohio Valley today is going to 52 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:54,840 be moist and the winds will be strong. There is I'm looking at the 53 00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:00,240 results of this storm that blew up through the Ohio River Valley. Not where 54 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,719 you are, because you're not in the Higho River Valley. It's over toward 55 00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:08,360 West Virginia and moving up that way from Kentucky. But there were a dozen 56 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:14,879 homes that were damaged on the West Virginia side. There are thousands of customers 57 00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:18,360 who are without power at the moment. Last night, this powerful system of 58 00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:26,240 thunderstorms, damaging winds, dangerous hail, very and there are some tornadoes that 59 00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:30,199 came out of it as well with the weather. So the Office of Emergency 60 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,560 Management went to work and trying to help. Well, this is you know, 61 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,519 it's what they do. FEMA kind of does okay in some places and 62 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,600 not in others. But this storm system big leaving. Yeah, it sure 63 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,360 is. And it started actually yesterday afternoon in Tennessee, or yesterday morning in 64 00:04:50,399 --> 00:04:55,879 fact, and then it moved up again the Ohio River Valley. Ohio River 65 00:04:55,959 --> 00:05:00,279 Valley feeds pretty much from I think Pittsburgh down into the miss Missippi if I 66 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:08,639 remember my geography. But the most significant threat for tornadoes at least to this 67 00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:14,839 point this year in Kentucky, actually over on the Indiana border, but most 68 00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:18,160 of Ohio hasn't you know the I don't think you well, you don't have 69 00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:23,160 the threat because of where you are, but those who are in southern Ohio 70 00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:29,800 I have to deal with the tornado watch anyway. So hopefully people are doing 71 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,240 a oka out of that now. So when all of that system clears out, 72 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:42,360 we have this total solar eclipse next week, and so if you are, 73 00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:45,959 I don't know how you prepare. I guess that would be my question 74 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,759 for this sky to go dark in the middle of the day. I don't 75 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,319 know if we have a timing sequence here or not. I know where it's 76 00:05:53,319 --> 00:06:00,079 going across, but I think it's eleven o'clock somewhere around there. It starts 77 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,800 in Mexico about eleven o'clock Pacific time, and then it goes out on the 78 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:12,800 tip of Newfoundland at five o'clock their time, which is naval daylight time. 79 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,319 I think that's what they and what is the end stand for it's Eastern daylight 80 00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:19,439 time, and then it's whatever it is, it's the next hour over. 81 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:27,439 So the NASA website is the best place to go to prepare yourself. I 82 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,600 don't know whether I'm talking about this too much now, but I think it's 83 00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:31,959 kind of exciting. I think people are excited about it. So starting in 84 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,319 the United States, at least down in Texas. From there it travels through 85 00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:41,600 Oklahoma and Arkansas, Missouri and Illinois and Kentucky and Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, 86 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,839 New York from mott New Hampshire and up in Maine, and so it 87 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,879 sort of wraps itself around the country, I mean, in the world in 88 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:58,560 a rather interesting way. So the most important part of all of this for 89 00:06:58,639 --> 00:07:00,959 those of you who want to watch it is to, if you're lucky enough 90 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,399 to be in the path, a couple of things you need to know before 91 00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:08,759 turning your eyes to the sky. I'm trying to say this in different ways. 92 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:15,360 Each day, the moon blocks the sun all completely for like four minutes 93 00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:19,800 or so. It is not safe to look directly at the sun without these 94 00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:27,079 specialized eyeglasses. You view the sun through a camera lens maybe, or binoculars 95 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,160 or a telescope. All right, Well, I think even if you're not 96 00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:34,279 wearing the safety glasses and you look through your phone or look through a telescope, 97 00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:39,480 it could still cause damage, does it. Okay, so I shouldn't 98 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,360 tell people to do that. Then it's those glasses the kind of infrared. 99 00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:47,879 They're orange, right, aren't they? Or yellow or something? Ours are 100 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,959 like really really dark yet ours the tint is like it's so dark that you 101 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,360 put them on inside even and you can't see anything. So just to be 102 00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:03,839 smart, prepare yourself. There will not be another occasion when the United States 103 00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:09,240 sees a solar eclipse, a total one like this until twenty August of twenty 104 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,120 forty four. Looks like and isn't it amazing? We keep saying that the 105 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,439 people at NASA figure all this stuff out, right, Well, there is 106 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,360 technically a total solar eclipse every eighteen months. It's just Earth is massive. 107 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:28,480 So the last time we had a total solar eclipse was in twenty seventeen, 108 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:33,480 but that was nothing compared to this one because the moon was a little bit 109 00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:37,879 farther away than it's going to be this time. So what's so special about 110 00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:41,639 this one is there's a wider path of like millions more people get to see 111 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,440 this one. It's going to be longer, it's going to actually last for 112 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,279 more time, and more of the sun is going to be covered the sun's 113 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,000 flares or it's going to be like a more active sun where you can see 114 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,360 all these different things kind of coming out of it. It's just going to 115 00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:07,360 be a way more of a show. It's a show our ears and our 116 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:11,399 eyes turn. In terms of social media, what's trending? The Top ten 117 00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:16,600 celebrity list is out for today, and pretty much on the top of the 118 00:09:16,639 --> 00:09:22,720 list is Taylor's Swift, who has hit a milestone thanks to the Eras Tour. 119 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,360 She's got a big song catalog that's being revived in a manner of speaking, 120 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:31,360 and other things are going on that put her in a certain league. 121 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,720 What is the member of the old baseball moving a league of their own? 122 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,480 All those women there are, I wonder how many other women are in this 123 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,840 same league as Taylor Swift is. As we nose around to see who's also 124 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:52,919 in this list Jay of female billionaires, that's where Taylor Swift is now officially 125 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,879 a billionaire. According to Forbes magazine. She's thirty four years old, and 126 00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:05,159 has found herself in this status because of what she can do, what she 127 00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:09,360 has done, what she will do. She'll just keep going going because she's 128 00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:13,360 got that right. And she's the only musician who reached billionaire status strictly off 129 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,120 of her music, her tours, the catalog, all of that, live 130 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,480 performances. Where most other musicians who are billionaires, it's because they also invest 131 00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:28,879 in billion dollar companies. They have their own companies. Rina Rihanna Rihanna. 132 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:35,879 Yes, she's she's worth billions and she she's made a lot of money with 133 00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:41,399 her music, but she also invests in like she invests in what is lvmh 134 00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:46,879 who is the owner is typically like one, two or three on the top 135 00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:52,360 billionaire's list. She has her own businesses Fenti, Savage, Savage Ax, 136 00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:58,799 all of that stuff. There are thirty four women at this age, thirty 137 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,840 four who have a billion dollars. I'm looking at the list of who has 138 00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:07,240 earned it and who has gotten it. There are a lot of people. 139 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:15,279 I'm looking at a young lady from Norway who has because of not what she's 140 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,600 done, but where she lived. There's going to be that there's the comparison 141 00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:22,960 of those people who have earned it and those people who have inherited it, 142 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,720 you know, family money, that kind of stuff. But there's still an 143 00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:30,360 interesting list of women. I'm looking at that age only, But then you 144 00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:33,879 can turn it around and look at and again this is kind of a lousy 145 00:11:33,919 --> 00:11:39,360 way of looking at things. I'm looking at the five richest women in the 146 00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:45,960 world, and you know, among them are the lady from walmart Wald and 147 00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:50,720 I forget her first name. I think it's Catherine, and how they got 148 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,600 their money. And I guess that I pay more attention to the ones who 149 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,639 have earned it than the ones who have just you know, kind of gotten 150 00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:00,720 it because of what their name is as much as anything. But is it 151 00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:03,679 because is it actually their money now at that point, like they've inherited it 152 00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:07,480 or they are now running the business that is making all that money because that's 153 00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:11,240 the Walton family. Yeah, no, the Walton family is out of it. 154 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,200 They just have you know, the stock and they are all billionaires. 155 00:12:15,799 --> 00:12:20,759 But no, it doesn't make it. I'm looking at the people who have 156 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,000 been smart enough to make it on their own, and Taylor Swift is on 157 00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:26,039 top of that list as far as I can see today. So it's great 158 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,960 business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off the 159 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,320 hook and people would be ordering nauseum. That's right. You know, it'll 160 00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:39,200 be twenty five years this April, and we've been helping customers lose weight safely 161 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,519 and effectively for twenty five years.

The storm that we were talking about that 173 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,039 has gone through the High River Valley ahead of it. This is like one 174 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:41,559 of those triple whammies because ahead of it is a snowstorm that has affected some 175 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:48,200 of the higher areas of New York State, western Massachusetts into Vermont, et 176 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,159 cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Sleet and so. But the thing 177 00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:56,919 is, so it's like wintertime and we're in springtime. But the winds that 178 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:03,440 are blowing around fifty sixty seventy an hour and knocking a lot of power out 179 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:09,519 here and there, so one last gasp of winter weather and then you get 180 00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:13,879 into the things in springtime. If you're a warrior and you only look on 181 00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:16,799 the dark side rather than the bright side of the road. Okay, wonder 182 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,679 storm and another storm. You look ahead for the storms instead of for the 183 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:26,080 sunshine. I'm looking for the sunshine. Apparently where I am, I'm not 184 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,639 going to see any until probably the end of the week. Although you're you 185 00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:33,679 should clear out today, Jay in Ohio. I think pretty much that looks 186 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:39,879 like the the weather forecast for where you are, and you're hoping it clears 187 00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:43,639 out, especially for Monday. No clouds. Yeah, right, Well, 188 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,840 you got a long time between now and then a Michigan woman just claimed a 189 00:14:48,879 --> 00:14:54,639 million dollar lottery prize. She was so surprised that she won, she thought, 190 00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:58,080 Nah, this can't be true. No, I didn't win. This 191 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,759 is what I'm talking The reason I bring it up now is because I'm just 192 00:15:00,799 --> 00:15:03,840 talking about the dark side of the moon or the dark side of the street. 193 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,960 Nah, I couldn't win. I don't have any luck. But Anna 194 00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:11,720 Marquez of Bay City, Michigan, she did have luck, and she did 195 00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:20,720 win a million dollar prize playing Mega Minions. She purchased the ticket online. 196 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:22,799 I don't even know how to do that? Is it? How do you 197 00:15:22,879 --> 00:15:26,879 do? How do you purchase a ticket online? I can't do anything online 198 00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:31,440 now. I think you go to the state or the website itself. But 199 00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:37,120 I'm not sure if every state allows online purchases that that's it. Maybe not. 200 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,879 We're here where I am anyway, Okay, So anyway, she only 201 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:46,279 tends to buy Mega Minions tickets when the jackpart starts to get big, and 202 00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:52,840 the jackpot that week was well over a billion dollars, so she got the 203 00:15:52,879 --> 00:15:56,720 deal. I think that was when somebody in New Jersey won the big prize. 204 00:15:56,759 --> 00:16:00,000 But anyway, she keeps, no, I can't can't you Well, 205 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:06,600 you're kidding me. She did so, congratulations, Yeah, yeah, very 206 00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:11,720 good. All right, here's a woman who lost out there's a woman who 207 00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:17,799 won, and a woman who lost. Yesterday, at Logan Airport in Boston, 208 00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:25,120 a woman who obviously is not a genius, came through with two bags 209 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:32,960 of marijuana. She was going to go to London. She was trying to 210 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,759 get on the plane for London last night, and now she's in jail facing 211 00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:44,200 charges of trafficking marijuana up to one hundred pounds. Her bear was set at 212 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,120 three thousand dollars and she's been ordered to surrender her passport. So there you 213 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:55,440 go. Is it recreational in Massachusetts? It's both y sod? Did she 214 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,919 think she wasn't doing anything wrong because of that? I'm gonna guess, well, 215 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,720 I mean, what do you need seventy nine pounds of marijuana for? 216 00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:04,640 What do you think you're going to do with that? If you got a 217 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,960 little bit, that's fine, But seventy four What is the seventy nine pounds 218 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:15,200 something like that in a filled up in a in two suits? Is that 219 00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:18,880 a lot? How much does it weigh normally? Well, when you buy 220 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,240 I only know this not because I've smoked it, but because I was almost 221 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,559 in the marijuana business back a while, a few years ago, and I 222 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,839 know what it was like. An ounce of marijuana was selling for five thousand 223 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,720 dollars retail, and so okay, Matt, multiply that out and a lot 224 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,960 of people buy it now a lot cheaper. There's different grades of marijuana, 225 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:47,240 to be sure, but if you take an ounce of sixteen ounces a pound 226 00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:51,759 time is like fifty and multiply that time seventy four, you've got a pretty 227 00:17:51,759 --> 00:17:59,079 good haul. So she's resting comfortably in the Suffolk County jail at the moment. 228 00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:03,039 One of the other things we're talking about the weather and what happens in 229 00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:07,279 the spring. This is not a springtime event, but it is an event 230 00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:11,880 that people will be talking about. See I strive to with Jay talk about 231 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:17,000 things that people will be talking about during the day and maybe during the rest 232 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,599 of the week that we try to sort of play it forward, if you 233 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,680 will. And this is a situation in Taiwan which is kind of still unfolding. 234 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,720 If you haven't heard about this earthquake, this is the biggest one in 235 00:18:27,759 --> 00:18:33,200 twenty five years. Seven people dead already, seven hundred are injured. Buildings 236 00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:38,720 have collapsed, power outages everywhere, landslides, you name it. It's a 237 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:45,680 mess. Tsunami warnings that go all the way to the Philippines, southern Japan, 238 00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:51,279 so it has Let's see, it was a seven point two on the 239 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:57,200 Richter scale maybe and seven of the US says it's seven point four. Anyway, 240 00:18:57,279 --> 00:19:00,599 So if you were planning to go to Taiwan to well, never mind 241 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,640 Taiwan. If you're planning to go let's say the Philippines for a vacation, 242 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,359 I think I'd wait a few days. And this is you know, people 243 00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:17,240 being the people that are being evacuated, but it may even be the tsunami 244 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,759 warning goes to Japan, and what will that do to the coast of That's 245 00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:26,119 always the thing that people wonder about you live on the coast. Yeah, 246 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:32,079 right, anyway, And I mean this just this happened hours ago. People 247 00:19:32,079 --> 00:19:36,000 are still rescue efforts, people are still trapped in tunnels. Oh yeah, 248 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,640 yeah, I remember the last time there was one twenty five years ago. 249 00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:44,400 My son volunteered, got on a plane with four of his friends and went 250 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,519 over to as a relief worker for four was it four weeks? Three or 251 00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:52,799 four weeks. Anyways, spent over there helping people that went through stuff. 252 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:57,880 And you know, when this happens, their requirements for building over there are 253 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:03,000 not is stringent is ours are. So the building in an area where there 254 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,920 ought to be stringent rules and rigs there aren't really and so the houses get 255 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,680 washed away, people get washed away, and it becomes a what a headache. 256 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,640 So anyway, one of the world's biggest semiconductor is said again, Dug 257 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:29,079 semiconductor manufacturers is under the circumstances kind of out of business. It looks like 258 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:34,079 for a while they had to evacuate all their buildings. And that's the biggest 259 00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:37,920 industry that's on Taiwan. And people say, why Taiwan? What do I 260 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,759 know about Taiwan? Well, the Chinese government wants they get over and they're 261 00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:47,400 an independent country, so who knows what's going to happen with that. Meanwhile, 262 00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:53,920 Israel moving over to the Middle East struggling to contain this situation. Seven 263 00:20:55,079 --> 00:21:00,000 aid workers in Gaza were killed yesterday, and so pretty much around the world 264 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,119 world there's a lot of condemnation being aimed at net Yahoo and in Israel there's 265 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:11,960 certainly more pressure being put on them to stop where they are the campaign to 266 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:17,359 wipe out Hamas many people. I'm not sure where I am on this. 267 00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:21,519 I would like to see them go as far as they can to be sure 268 00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:26,279 that Hamas was neutralized. But all of this stuff where you know, you 269 00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:29,519 know, thinking a back to World War Two and what we learned about it 270 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:36,400 in school, and maybe even Korea where it was much deadlier. Vietnam, 271 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,759 for example, much deadlier than this. But we have in this era that 272 00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:45,920 we're in the modern era of communication, where everybody knows what's going on the 273 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,359 second it happens. With all of these pictures, not the least of which 274 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:59,200 you see. I weigh the situation in Gaza bad. What thirty depends on 275 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,960 who you believe, but you know, there are numbers that float around in 276 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,640 the thirty thousand people in Gaza have been killed. I don't know what the 277 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,559 right number is because I don't believe what Hamas says and nobody else seems to 278 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:17,440 have in a what's considered an accurate number. But even if it doesn't make 279 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,119 any was what the number is. There are a lot of people losing their 280 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,920 lives that ought not to. But it's war and these people. You know, 281 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:29,880 it's becoming one sided. And folks forget that the attack was on Israel 282 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:37,160 by Hamas and that was orchestrated by Iran. So I continue to try to 283 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,839 remind people of that. That doesn't make the situation any better. And I'm 284 00:22:41,839 --> 00:22:48,880 guessing that there will be enough pressure on the Israelis to somehow. There's a 285 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:57,559 lot of protesting going on in the country itself against and Yahoom so is a 286 00:22:57,599 --> 00:23:03,000 result of what's gone on over there. The charity that was delivering food to 287 00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:08,720 the Palestinians have pulled back and you know the ships there were a lot of 288 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,279 well they pulled back after an Israeli air strike killed seven of their aid workers. 289 00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:18,920 They're trying to the rest of their workers. Yeah, right, So 290 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:25,799 anyway, NETANYAHUO apologized for it. It was an unintended strike. Certainly innocent 291 00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:30,519 people, he says, do not deserve to die. And that's I think 292 00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:33,599 that's the first time he said anything about this. The group was the World 293 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:40,400 Central Kitchen. They'd been coordinating with the military there these ralis to move the 294 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,359 stuff in and trucks and cars and so because everybody's got a phone, you 295 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:51,799 can see footage of a car with a logo printed across the roof. That's 296 00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:53,759 what they do. You know, when you fly over with these things, 297 00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:57,480 you can see U N on the top of cars or whoever, you know, 298 00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:03,960 whatever the charity is. But the drones and the bombs don't see that 299 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:10,680 stuff. And so this is I think the repercussions will be serious enough so 300 00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:18,279 that the Brits are really putting and the Canadians are putting pressure, the Polish 301 00:24:18,319 --> 00:24:22,200 are putting it. There's a lot of pressure on them, and I'm I'm 302 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,319 guessing that this may be we were coming to the end of this one way 303 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,079 or another, I think. And I don't know that that's bad. It's 304 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:37,039 just why is there so damn much hate? Why did the people in the 305 00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:44,519 Palestinians hate the Israelis Because the United Nations, mostly the United States, carved 306 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:51,640 this area out and gave it to the Israelis after World War Two, but 307 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,160 not to the Raelies, to the Jewish population in Europe. That's why you 308 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,359 know, most of the Jews that are in Israel, they don't look like 309 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,720 Semites because they are from their heritage is Israel, I mean is a Europe. 310 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,799 So anyway, that's I take a deep breath. Every time I talk 311 00:25:10,839 --> 00:25:14,319 about this sort of thing, there's always something so special about getting the gift 312 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,799 of Omaha Steaks.

It's our social media segments for this hour, and here 326 00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:22,440 we sort of focus on the things that come out of the social media experience 327 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:29,359 and some My friend is Stephen JJ Wiseman, who has scam Aside the scamatside 328 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,160 dot com website, has asked me to explain to you, or to quickly 329 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:40,000 remind you, in order to prevent your email from being filtered as junk, 330 00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:45,319 avoid using all upper or lowercase letters in the subject line and don't include any 331 00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:52,799 exclamation points. That sounds pretty sick. Can you include emojis? I believe 332 00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:57,559 you can. Yes, avoid, just avoid the upper and lowercase letters in 333 00:26:57,599 --> 00:27:00,680 the subject line like all of them. They have to go up and down 334 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:07,839 like a regular sentence, and no explanation points. So there you go exclamation 335 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,000 points. It seemed to be the baddie there as much as anything else. 336 00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:17,200 How about that tip was kind of relevant. Google has announced it's going to 337 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:25,359 delete billions and billions of Chrome browser records. They have trying to settle this 338 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:30,680 backlog of lawsuits against them, major anti trust showdowns to the Justice Department. 339 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,400 So they have resolved their this is what the fourth case in four months, 340 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,680 and they're like not even done yet. Yeah, this is there's so many 341 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,079 cases against them, including how they what they did with data, how they 342 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,920 got it, and what they have used it for. And that's why they're 343 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,160 going to go ahead and just delete delete a lot of the stuff from the 344 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,000 late as part of the latest settlement. So here's another one of those. 345 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:02,839 This is from Visa and MasterCard. They had an trust lawsuit against them because 346 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,240 of swipe fees with the people that use not the buyers but the merchants. 347 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:15,720 So they announced a major settlement this week, ending two decades of litigation. 348 00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:21,160 Can you imagine how much money the lawyers have made in this the fees that 349 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,640 are charged every time a credit or debit card is used in a store. 350 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,799 So this deal loures and caps the fees charged by the two major processing outfits 351 00:28:30,839 --> 00:28:36,400 that's Visa and MasterCard, and allow those of us who are in small business 352 00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:41,079 to collectively bargain for rates instead of paying them an automatic three percent or whatever 353 00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:45,759 it is they require. You want the business, then you pay us two 354 00:28:45,759 --> 00:28:48,440 percent. Take a couple of points out, So they'll be buying against each 355 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:53,079 other as much as anything else. But the retailers of America, whether they're 356 00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:59,599 small ones or big ones say the settlement is a good development, but more 357 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,839 needs to be done to remedy the swipe fee situation. The lower feeds will 358 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:11,079 be not in They're not going to be enforced for ever. It's like they 359 00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:15,359 have the experimenting for the next three four years apparently, and then the fees 360 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,599 go back to the current levels. So and the mom and pop shops, 361 00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:23,119 yeah, this is the local Yeah, like the local businesses and all that 362 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,039 stuff. And I think we've all been there where they ask we're going to 363 00:29:26,039 --> 00:29:29,519 pay, and they ask is that cash your credit? And then you have 364 00:29:29,599 --> 00:29:33,960 your card and then even like is this a debit or credit? And I'll 365 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,400 ask, I'll ask like does it matter for you? Would you prefer I 366 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,240 use debit because you're probably getting charged with the credit. And if I ask 367 00:29:41,319 --> 00:29:44,880 them, most times they will say debit would really help us, Yeah, 368 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,720 because they don't get charged off of the debit exactly right. And that's why. 369 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000 For example, when I buy something at an auction and I want to 370 00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:55,160 pay for it with a credit card, they'll add three points. So I 371 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,240 spent one hundred dollars, I got to pay a hundred and three. It's 372 00:29:57,559 --> 00:30:02,680 it's it's it's I won't use the word because it gets used in the wrong 373 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,680 way, but it begins with an R. It is the public is being 374 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:14,359 Let's see, what's the Jewish expression, yinst it's you. We're all being 375 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:19,000 yinced. That's another word for getting screwed, and it's just us. Yeah, 376 00:30:19,119 --> 00:30:22,759 it is so, but it's their way of making you know. That's 377 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:29,240 why these companies are as wealthy as they are so. Visa and MasterCard paying 378 00:30:29,319 --> 00:30:32,720 six billion dollars, you'll get a notice in the mail, Oh, if 379 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,519 you bought something with Visa MasterCard, you're going to get nineteen cents back or 380 00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:40,799 something like that. At any rate, it's at least they're at least they're 381 00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:44,480 working on it. You feel like somebody's doing something for you. Right twenty 382 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,759 eight past the hour, this is the Good Day Program.
