Let's hope anyway, January the fifth is upon. It's getting 6 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:27,280 close to Elvis's birthday. Next week will celebrate Elvis's birthday and my sister. 7 00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:30,480 He and my sister are born on the same day. My sister can't sing 8 00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:36,880 a lick. Yeah, you can't have everything right, Jay Bird and the 9 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,079 Duckster. Here it's Tex Stefan and Jay Kirshner. What's going on? For 10 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,479 what's going on? What is going on here? That's what I want to 11 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,880 know. This, that and the other thing. The story of the snow, 12 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,880 the big snow, the first big snow of the season. According to 13 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,840 the weather people on the East Coast. How much can we get, well, 14 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,280 how much we could get and how much you will get as usual. 15 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,799 There's two different things to encounter here, or to think through or to think 16 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,599 about, or they get yourself on the same street I was actually looking at 17 00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:15,159 the nuance because I have to fly back on Sunday and into Oh, you're 18 00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:19,640 going to fly into the snow. No, I'm not going to fly into 19 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,040 the snow. A matter of fact, Boston isn't going to get any snow, 20 00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:25,359 is going to get rain and wind and that sort of thing, and 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,840 in little maybe like cold slushy stuff. Yeah, right, exactly is it 22 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,200 snowing in Ohio yet? Probably would be not at this very moment. No, 23 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:38,760 Okay, Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed that you'll have that to 24 00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:41,840 talk about, because Heavens knows, there's really not much else going on in 25 00:01:41,879 --> 00:01:47,879 the world right to talk about. There's an interesting overview of doctors who perform 26 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:55,840 unnecessary surgeries and what it is that motivates them other than money. Right, 27 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,359 there's a thing about well that's always been some there was a trail for those 28 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:06,120 people who did the plastic surgery, right, because there's none of that that's 29 00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:15,080 really necessary unless it Yeah, well it's the page. The attractiveness of doing 30 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,960 uh, the you know, having the surgery performed, I guess as much 31 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,039 as anything else. And uh, and so what does that the attractiveness of 32 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,120 how how much can we scare you right as much as anything. Let's see 33 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,000 the fear based thinking that goes into whatever the news desk assigns. You know, 34 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:44,039 most people don't understand how the news works, whether I'm talking printed if 35 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,120 yeah, there's still some newspapers around, and the stuff that you see online 36 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,319 that is supposedly from legitimate news sources, and then the things that you watch 37 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,479 on television or here on the radio. There's always a news editor. Somebody 38 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,719 sits at a desk. I remember when I was running the news station in 39 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,439 Boston in the mid eighties. W Yeah, I was the news station then, 40 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,280 and we had somebody literally sitting in the middle of the room with their 41 00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:10,439 fifteen reporters, and she was making the assignments, deciding where to go with 42 00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:15,560 story to cover, which person should go out on the street to do it, 43 00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,919 and then you know, who would do the editing and rewriting of the 44 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,280 story. That sort of thing that still happens, not to quite the extent. 45 00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:25,439 A lot of people just self edit and work on these things because so 46 00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:30,039 many people are working from home and the places of allved. You know, 47 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,280 these companies going bankrupt right and left. One of the biggest companies the third 48 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:40,039 biggest company in the country radio companies going bankrupt. That doesn't mean that you 49 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,759 won't be able to hear whatever you hear on the radio stations. Just means 50 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,319 that it's a sign at the times in the radio world, the advertising world. 51 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,080 What tolls have been taken by podcasters and podcasting and advertising there, you 52 00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:59,000 know that kind of stuff. So many different ways to spend your money to 53 00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:02,360 get people's ears or eyes or get them to do something. That's what advertising 54 00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:05,680 is all about. Right bye bye bye or do do do or get get 55 00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:14,680 get anyway, I'm off on a tangent here. The storm is it has 56 00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:17,439 left a trail as it crosses the country, no question about that. But 57 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,920 when you look at the actual fact, this is the thing. People just 58 00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:25,519 look at the headlines. They don't look at what the nuance of the story 59 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,720 is. So this as an example, East Coast braces for big snow first 60 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,199 of the season. How much could we get, Well, if you read 61 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,720 the story, how much you could get depends on where you are. For 62 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,839 example, in the general feeling is that Massachusetts, in most of New England 63 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,720 or much of New England will get six seven inches, But where I am 64 00:04:48,319 --> 00:04:53,959 will get maybe two. But you wouldn't know that unless you really read into 65 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,160 the story. And isn't that the thing? Do you feel like your friends, 66 00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:01,600 you're the people you talk to about things that are newsworthy? J Do 67 00:05:01,639 --> 00:05:05,199 you feel like they dig into stories? Do you think they really know what 68 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:12,000 they're talking about whenever they're made? Is there a fact box there? Well? 69 00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:14,600 One of the things that we're always talking about you and I, Doug, 70 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,800 is that people will read the headlines. They won't read the actual story, 71 00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:21,800 or when it comes to social media, they will just read what somebody 72 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,800 has posted or shared from a non reputable website, and they don't do their 73 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,040 own research to see if that's even if the state must a even true. 74 00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:34,560 I can't tell you how many times I have seen people post about a celebrity 75 00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:39,199 who died and they're like, oh my goodness, this is heartbreaking news, 76 00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:44,720 and that in actuality, that celebrity died like over a decade ago. Yeah 77 00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:48,680 good, that's a great examplelation. So well, anyway, this is not 78 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:54,120 supposed to be a lecture. I'm not on a podium here. It just 79 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,600 is very interesting. It's an observation because we are observers. If you will, 80 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,399 there's a new there's an over I like this the advocacy. I'm looking 81 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:10,519 at what is a basically a black journal, the newspaper that's aimed at Black 82 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,720 Americans that's printed in Pennsylvania. Every once in a while, I kind of 83 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:21,279 come over. I see something that I want to grab. And so this 84 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:29,839 is an advocacy piece by a group of black journalists who are upset because the 85 00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:36,040 Republicans are working as they try to cut spending, and so they think their 86 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,480 point is very They hit the point like a sledgehammer, and that's sometimes what 87 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,879 happens here. They're saying that a lot of the cuts and spending proposed by 88 00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:50,040 the Republicans would hit federal social programs and could that's the word you read into 89 00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:56,279 the story. It could have a disproportionate impact on Black Americans. Okay, 90 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000 so how did we get here in the first place? I think that it 91 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,600 ought not to be. And this is sort of my this is a ruse. 92 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,079 Right, you have Black Americans, White Americans, Hispanic Americans. People, 93 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,439 why don't we just say Americans? What are the social programs that may 94 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,920 be affected that will affect Americans? Well, this is a black newspaper, 95 00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:25,959 so they're going to focus on black issues, right, and racial equity is 96 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:30,040 one of them. That's one of the bywords now, diversity and equality and 97 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,199 all that stuff. But are we really getting it or is there a disproportionate 98 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:42,920 amount of money or disproportionate, more importantly, a disproportionate focus on people who 99 00:07:42,959 --> 00:07:48,439 haven't had maybe enough, or haven't treated fairly. I can certainly agree with 100 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,199 the component of the conversation that there are a lot of people who are still 101 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,279 today and have been for since they were their relatives were brought over here as 102 00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:03,879 slaves who have gotten screwed. Basically, not to put too fine a point 103 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:09,639 on it, but they have been taking advantage of the prejudices that are aimed 104 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,399 at people. There are plenty of white people who, for whatever the reason, 105 00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:18,040 don't want to don't have anything good to say or think about black people, 106 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,800 and there's that there's plenty of black people don't have anything good to say 107 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:28,240 about white people. So how does continuing to focus on that in the way 108 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,799 that uses a sledgehammer, How does that? How does that fix the problem? 109 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,720 I'm all about fixing problem, and I think we have a lot of 110 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:41,399 racial gaps, certainly in wages, like women still don't get paid either as 111 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,919 much as men do for doing the same job. It's better than it was, 112 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,600 but it still isn't there's no equality there. So while come we're not 113 00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:52,519 talking about that, there's access to higher education for whites and blacks and just 114 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,720 that is still something. I mean, what during COVID, wasn't there a 115 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:03,159 big to do about black's not getting enough vaccine? Don't I remember that from 116 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,120 the Yeah? I think there was. I think it was something about in 117 00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:16,559 certain certain areas that the vaccine wasn't as readily available available? Yeah? Was 118 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,519 that? Was that? A is that a racial issue has been made to 119 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,799 be a racial issue? I think perhaps there is that prejudice. There's a 120 00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:31,399 subtle prejudice that works its way into a lot of the thinking and and Republicans 121 00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:39,279 seem to have more of that or there there. It's easily the finger of 122 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,320 fickle, finger of fate is easily pointed at Republicans, perhaps more Southern Democrats. 123 00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:48,120 So why is that? Why would Republicans want to why are they why 124 00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:52,960 do they think that way? Not all Republicans do and not all Democrats, 125 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,759 not like you say, everybody is the same, but there's a lot of 126 00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:01,200 that thinking and so I guess I wonder why. I guess I'm thinking back 127 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:07,399 to Ted Kennedy's speech about his brother at his funeral, who talked about his 128 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,960 lot in life was to basically am summarizing it to fix things. He didn't 129 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,639 worry about what the wise were. He fixed whatever. I'd like to find 130 00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:22,399 that as a matter of fact, maybe James, you can find that quote 131 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:26,159 somewhere, that Ted Kennedy quote about his brother from the funeral. That'd be 132 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,120 good to revive, as we are doing a lot of that here on the 133 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,840 program, trying to revive things that politicians have said, famous Americans have said 134 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,840 things in movies and TV shows, just to kind of get your head focused 135 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:43,240 around something that we all kind of have in common, which is the culture. 136 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,000 If you will, you know, all that stuff is very much a 137 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,200 part of our American culture. So anyway, and speaking of that, the 138 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:56,440 Space Race, space X and mister Elon Musk. The Labor Department has accused 139 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:05,120 space X of un lawfully fire hiring employees who sent a letter critical of Musk 140 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:13,600 to the authorities. So the National Labor Relations Board jumped on this. They 141 00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:20,240 file the complaint. They take their eight different unfair labor practices that have been 142 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:26,679 leveled against SpaceX and Elon Musk back a year or so, and this is 143 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,720 a way this is you know, this is the thing? Is that again, 144 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,879 I'm taking an interpretation of this. Elon Musk is more of a Republican 145 00:11:35,919 --> 00:11:39,559 than he is a Democrat. Do we agree on that? Kind of feel 146 00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:43,519 like it depends on the day. Really, all right, well, I 147 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,039 think he feels to me like he's more of a righty than a lefty. 148 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:52,440 And so the the the people who are on the left are saying, look 149 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,480 at this, look at this, what's going on? These things are filed 150 00:11:56,519 --> 00:11:58,919 all the time. There are workplace concerns filed every day. So I want 151 00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:05,440 to why the focus just on X. I am Robert Strickler. My wife 152 00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:09,440 Joyce, and I have been married for fifty three years. Certainly one of 153 00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:15,200 the really important things in my life are our children and our grandchildren. I 154 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,320 am essentially a writer. I've been involved in communications in the media. I've 155 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,120 been an avid fly fisherman for at least forty or more years. I've been 156 00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:28,919 taking previagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. For me, 157 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,440 the greatest benefit over the years has been that Previagen seems to help me recall 158 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,240 things and also think more clearly, have a crisper ability to remember and think 159 00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:46,000 through things, and I enthusiastically recommend Previagen. It has helped me an awful 160 00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:52,679 lot. Proviagen Healthier brain, better life. Robert Strickler is a content contributor 161 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,639 for Prevagen and real User based on a clinical study of subgroups of individuals who 162 00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:00,559 are cognitively normal or mildly impaired. This product is not intended to diagnosed, 163 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,000 treat, cure, or prevent any disease. As we dig around in the 164 00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:09,080 social media world to see what's trending when it comes to celebrities, Diane Keaton 165 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,440 is in that list of AJ because she has been talking about what she likes 166 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:20,039 to what she likes to sing. She's amazed she's seventy seven years old. 167 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,320 Man, that surprises me. I don't know why it surprises me. I 168 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,559 often confuse her when I was younger, I confuse Diane Keaton with what's her 169 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,360 face? Who's in the new movie about the about Diana and iad why is 170 00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:37,799 the name escaping me? You know who I'm talking about? The no idea 171 00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:46,039 no Idea Diane Keaton and she's married. To help think about it. I'm 172 00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:52,279 on a track here because I'm I'm looking at Diane Keaton's conversation about who her 173 00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:58,000 favorite singer is, and that will probably surprise you too, because I'm going 174 00:13:58,039 --> 00:14:01,720 to bet that there are not many seventy seven to seventy eight years old who 175 00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:05,000 find this particular person to be to the number one, although Dolly Parton might 176 00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:09,320 find her to be number one, and dollar is that age, So maybe 177 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,000 I'm speaking out of the wrong end of my mouth, But we'll talk about 178 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,840 Diane Keaton and who her favorite singer is. Sounds like a karaoke night, 179 00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:20,720 right, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a cute video. She's sitting 180 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,360 on the steps and she's singing along to Miley Cyrus, and she says that 181 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,240 Miley was her favorite artist of twenty twenty three and this was kind of a 182 00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:35,200 birthday tribute to herself, her one favorite person in life. Diane Keaton is 183 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:41,440 Diane Keaton's favorite person and Miley's her favorite artist and like this song so much 184 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,679 and sang a long sort of with it. I don't know the song. 185 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,639 I don't know that much about the Miley Cyrus songbook other than what you tell 186 00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,679 me. Diane Keaton is seventy eight years old today, and I was thinking 187 00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:56,840 about Annette Benning, who is the other the other actress that is I think 188 00:14:56,879 --> 00:15:01,720 from the same league, although Anette Benning is sixty five, but she's playing 189 00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,919 the role of this this swimmer and Ni ed something we'll talk about with Chucker. 190 00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:11,960 The idea that Diane Keaton likes Miley Cyrus was what grabbed my attention here. 191 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,679 And so she sings along in that clip? Did she hear? Miley 192 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,039 Cyrus is thirty one? And I said, would she be that? You 193 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,399 know, that favorite the favorite singer for other people that are that age? 194 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,519 And then I thought about Dolly Parton, who's her godmother? I think right, 195 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,759 Cyrus's godmother, so she would like her as well. So does Diane 196 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,000 Keaton like to sing in public? Or is this how did she get caught? 197 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,879 This was her house? No, she this was a video that she 198 00:15:37,919 --> 00:15:41,120 had set up. Somebody was taking it, Yeah, somebody was taking it. 199 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,720 She was facing the camera and singing at the camera while sitting on some 200 00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:50,720 stairs. But Diante Keaton when she actually like sings, I remember her singing 201 00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:54,879 in what was the First Wives Club. She has a good voice. She's 202 00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:56,720 singing what's the other one? The Mandy Moore movie? Because I said so 203 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,480 Yeah, she's been in a lot of those kinds of movies and is good 204 00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:06,159 in them. She also is a member of that club like the She's been 205 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,000 a lot of movies with Robert de Niro. You know, they're all that 206 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,399 same age, and those actors and actresses love to do stuff together. So 207 00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:15,840 that's good. Happy birthday to the person she loves in life the most, 208 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,840 her Diane Keaton. So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think 209 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,799 the phones would be ringing off the hook and people would be ordering nauseum. 210 00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:29,759 That's right.

You know there are This is how silly people 223 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,960 are. We're thinking about things that are going on and talking about the things 224 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:30,559 that people are intrigued by that may not necessarily be on the front headlines the 225 00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:36,200 front pages. There is a somebody did a video. Listen to this. 226 00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:41,359 J I saw this on the plane the other day. Somebody did a video 227 00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:48,200 of all the people went around the world and found every man whose name is 228 00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:53,160 James Bond. Hell, there there are like it's just like like one hundred 229 00:17:53,279 --> 00:17:59,759 or more guys whose names in America and elsewhere are James Bond. And they're 230 00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:03,640 all ages. And the question always is, why do you suppose your parents 231 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,960 chose the name James to go with your last name Bond? How could you 232 00:18:08,039 --> 00:18:11,519 not? But My question is what are their middle names? Yeah, there 233 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,920 is, but they're not always well, it wasn't clear that there was a 234 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:22,519 middle name. I think someplace somewhere, Ian Fleming wrote there is a middle 235 00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:23,880 name. I don't remember what it is, but I think someplace. You 236 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:29,759 know. Ian Fleming started writing these spy novels after World Yeah, it was 237 00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:34,880 right after World War Two. He was obviously a brit and he imagined because 238 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:40,400 the world of spying on the Russians had become a big thing and people were 239 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:47,559 obsessed with the spies, and so this came out of that era. And 240 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,240 so the novels were written in the forties and the fifties and they were easily 241 00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:57,680 you know, it was a perfect perfect focus for a movie, and nobody 242 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,480 knew where this was going to go. First one came out in nineteen sixty 243 00:19:00,519 --> 00:19:06,599 one and the signature line was and that clip that you just heard was from 244 00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:11,480 the first James Bond movie. And so, but just imagine if your name 245 00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:14,440 is James Vond and you introduced hello, sir, what's your name? My 246 00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:18,160 name is Bond, James Bond, and people look at you. It's got 247 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,759 to be the source of all kinds of and that was really what the movie, 248 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,599 this documentary was all about. What was life like or what has life 249 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,960 been like for you? Your name's James Bond, so you know they've had 250 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,200 a lot of fun. How many people think you're lying when you say your 251 00:19:33,279 --> 00:19:37,839 name? Yeah, maybe that's it right. Yep, here's something good to 252 00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:41,880 think about. This small girl whose parents were told when she was born that 253 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,920 she would never walk. Wow, five years later she's running around. She 254 00:19:47,079 --> 00:19:52,799 had spinal surgery in the womb. And what I mean think about the miracles 255 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:55,000 of modern medicine, and this is going to be on the top of that 256 00:19:55,079 --> 00:20:02,079 list. This was available to these folks who the lady Georgia was nineteen, 257 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,480 the husband, Tyler was twenty one. They were told that their baby had 258 00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:11,119 spina bifida. The ultrasound was taken to twenty weeks. And if you don't 259 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,599 know about this, this is something that's fairly well known. The condition causes 260 00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:19,640 a weakness in your lower limbs. The parents were told likely the child would 261 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:26,880 never walk. So she went to Germany to have a treatment. The baby, 262 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,519 the unborn baby in the womb, was operated on. It cost him 263 00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:37,319 eleven thousand dollars. And so this young girl Piper was born healthy in July 264 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:44,559 of twenty eighteen. She was named after this the surgeon who fixed her, 265 00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:49,440 whose name was Thomas Cole. So her name is Piper Cole Kelly. And 266 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,079 now she can walk, and she can run, and she takes part in 267 00:20:53,160 --> 00:21:00,319 her school sports every day. So you can imagine what an amazing thing is. 268 00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:04,599 And you wonder how often this was something You've got a lot of attention. 269 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,720 How often has this happened to youngsters in the womb? How much more? 270 00:21:08,759 --> 00:21:11,240 And I'm asking the question because I don't know what the answer is, 271 00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:18,920 frankly, how much of this sort of thing is a part of when you 272 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,240 find out what's going on see this sort of and I don't mean to tie 273 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,680 it into the whole abortion debate, but when you have a think about this, 274 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:33,119 here's this family. They find the child could never walk, and without 275 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,279 the right information, they could have made a decision that they wanted to avoid 276 00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:41,240 the baby because they didn't want to live a life of misery. And yet 277 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:48,079 now with yet same information, you can go to I'm sure the best hospitals 278 00:21:48,079 --> 00:21:53,880 in the world are performing these operations, and the baby was saved, could 279 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:59,920 be saved, And so I don't mean to make I'm somebody who doesn't like 280 00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:04,400 the idea of abortion much. But it's not I just say that because I 281 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,200 don't just say it. I say it because i'm that's how I feel. 282 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:14,799 But I think that there are reasons for having an abortion, and there's solid, 283 00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:17,799 good, strong reasons. I think just making a blanket you can't have 284 00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:21,720 an abortion is nonsense and not very smart. But the other side of it 285 00:22:21,759 --> 00:22:23,759 is that some people have used it. But then you know, you dig 286 00:22:23,799 --> 00:22:26,559 into the rhyme and reason, and that's why I say it's not my business, 287 00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:30,960 because it's nobody's business. If somebody has you know, you can say, 288 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,759 well, we've got to protect the unborn fetus. Why is that your 289 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,279 job? But nobody's looking to protect the mother, the pregnant mother, right, 290 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,119 thank you? Yeah. I mean it's there's an argument on both sides, 291 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,480 but it isn't just about it. It's like these people are fanatics, 292 00:22:45,319 --> 00:22:48,960 and I wonder how much they really think about, Like what you just said, 293 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,160 what happens if there's a danger to the mother and the child is going 294 00:22:52,160 --> 00:23:00,880 to be born dead or in some way not not healthy and beat with life? 295 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:06,039 Yeah? Right, so anyway, good, Well, also girl, 296 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,279 Yeah, this is fantastic. And for anybody wondering what is the most premature 297 00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:17,000 surviving baby, that baby was born in the USA at twenty one weeks and 298 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,160 one day, eleven days earlier than the previous record holder. When did that 299 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:26,400 just now? Just recently, I want to say, this past spring. 300 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,799 Yeah, well listen, less than a year ago. Yeah, all right. 301 00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:37,799 There's a certain thing when you think things through. There's a it's a 302 00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:41,680 great thing to be able to think things through thinking. I remember my sixth 303 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,480 grade teacher's name, her name was Margaret Hayes. She had a She and 304 00:23:45,559 --> 00:23:48,759 the fourth grade teacher had the same sign on their desk, th h I 305 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,799 n K think. And that's what we were taught to do, to think 306 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,240 for ourselves, to think about what's going on. Teaching people how to think 307 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,720 is way more important than teaching people what to think, because if you teach 308 00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:03,559 people what to think, you're not teaching them how to think. And we 309 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:10,400 need to be able to think because our thoughts the activities. There's nothing there's 310 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,640 no active action in the world that's ever wasted somehow or other. It has 311 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:22,839 a consequence, whether it's a good, loving expression of help or whether it's 312 00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:26,839 something that happens in some of these wars going on around the country. There's 313 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:33,359 always some there's something going on with each person who's involved in these in each 314 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,160 action that has a consequence, And so think about the things that you do. 315 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,440 You're the giver, right, think you're the giver of whatever. Sometimes 316 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:48,440 you're the receiver of some of these actions. But be thinking about the consequences 317 00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:52,359 of what you do, and hopefully other people will think about the consequences what 318 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,400 they do or what they say. Sometimes people don't always think about that. 319 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,400 I've certainly been guilty of that over the years. When you're on the radio 320 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,839 as much as I am, sometimes I say things that I think after I 321 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,240 said it, mush, why'd I say that? Where did that come from? 322 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:14,960 All Right? We go to Perry High School in a small town in 323 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,920 Iowa. Everybody's trying to figure out what happened there yesterday. All right. 324 00:25:21,079 --> 00:25:29,640 This youngster has two guns, walks into the school and starts firing at the 325 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,559 in the cafeteria at breakfast time, and a sixth grader was killed. Other 326 00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:37,720 people I think were injured, and you can imagine what happened to the children. 327 00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:42,319 The teachers go scrambling yelling out the door. This is the first day 328 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:47,680 of new classes and they're still trying to find This was a seventeen year old. 329 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,839 He's dead and they don't understand why he did what he did. This 330 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,599 is a school of town near Des Moines. I don't believe there was a 331 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:03,559 manifesto like we've been seeing lately with some shooting, but there were allegedly social 332 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:10,000 media posts that are being added to the investigation. Yeah, they say one 333 00:26:10,039 --> 00:26:14,000 sixth grader. No, that hasn't that hasn't been listed, and I'm assuming 334 00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:19,319 that they've been archived or hidden, yeah, from public view. But yeah, 335 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,440 one sixth grader is died, five or wounded. Four of them were 336 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,599 other students, one was a faculty member. Why. What's the question here? 337 00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:32,920 The question is why? And I suppose how in a manner of speaking 338 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,359 to right, why and how? And then the gunman turned his weapon on 339 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:44,119 himself. Yeah. So here's these angry kids and why are they so angry? 340 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,799 What are we doing? What are parents doing with all of this? 341 00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:52,759 It's wof man, All right, let's get off of that. Here's the 342 00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:57,680 story of another teenager, thirteen year old that says that he has accomplished what 343 00:26:57,839 --> 00:27:02,039 no video gamer has ever done before. So this is where I need you 344 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,680 to I don't know what Tetris is. I ask both of you, I 345 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,599 think during the last break, what the heck this is and why this is 346 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,359 so important? I suppose this is a social media story to a point, 347 00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:18,119 because that's where all this attention. It's a puzzle. It's a puzzle video 348 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,680 game. Okay, So who plays it? Who's the person? Who are 349 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,599 the people that would play it? Anybody who wants to? It was really 350 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,240 popular. Honestly, I haven't met anyone but you who hasn't played it. 351 00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:33,799 So it's a it's a puzzle game. Blocks and different shapes will come down 352 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,920 from the top of the screen and you have to try and get them all 353 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,599 in a row, and then the longer you last, the higher score is 354 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:48,599 essentially, is that what's intriguing about that? Well? This was I mean, 355 00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:51,240 this debuted back in the eighties. It's not like there were a lot 356 00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:56,000 of like high tech That's what I'm saying, where have you been? I 357 00:27:56,039 --> 00:27:59,400 don't play games. I don't play games in life. I don't play board 358 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,680 games. The only person that I play games with is my grandson Miles. 359 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,799 Who loves these things and is becoming pretty good at him. His father has 360 00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:10,400 an iPad and so on the tablet. He's found these things where his father 361 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,400 has taught him where they are, and they're good for your mind. For 362 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:18,039 Heaven's sakes, there is and your agility. You know. The whole business 363 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,519 coordination says it's good problem solving. Thinking on your toes. As you go 364 00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:25,960 along, it gets faster, say you have to kind of think faster, 365 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,200 you know. So are you surprised that a thirteen year old has been has 366 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,359 been able to do this? This has never been done before this game. 367 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,359 I think that's the more fascinating part, that this is the first time that 368 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:45,440 somebody has beaten all of the levels. Uh huh, Well is there a 369 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,079 prize involved this? How much? Did he wins some money? What's the 370 00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:52,480 winning game? Getting tracking rights? I mean he's made national news. I 371 00:28:52,519 --> 00:28:56,039 think that's that we're talking about him. Yeah, yeah, thirteen years old, 372 00:28:56,119 --> 00:29:00,440 he's famous right now. Speaking of a name, he was one of 373 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:07,559 the most prominent, one of the most outspoken figures in January sixth is he 374 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:12,880 was a Capitol police officer and now he's running for Congress's name is Harry Dunn. 375 00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:18,880 He was on duty during the January sixth situation. Some people call it 376 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,680 an attack, don't. I don't choose to call it. There were some 377 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,279 people who were there to do harm, and some people there that were there 378 00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:30,279 to do that, were there to attack. But there are a lot of 379 00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:33,559 people, as we've said many times before, they're just there because they kind 380 00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:37,079 of wanted to see what was going on, what all hoopla. Well, 381 00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:40,000 and after a certain point people were let in, Like the people who were 382 00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:42,000 at the front of all of this, Yeah, they were menacing. They 383 00:29:42,039 --> 00:29:45,519 were where we they should say, the writers versus the protesters and the people 384 00:29:45,519 --> 00:29:48,640 in the back were kind of like they didn't know what was going on. 385 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,640 They thought they were allowed to go into They're on a self guided tour essentially. 386 00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:53,960 Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how this guy does is he runs 387 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:59,279 for Congress.
