It's June ninth. 8 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,799 Hello, it's Jay Kershner. Hello, it's Doug Stephen. Hello. Here 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,439 to enthrall you with the activities of the world, the trending items, the 10 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,039 things that actually are on the charts. I'll give you a little preview of 11 00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:54,039 the the Talker's charts for this week, which we will be discussing in detail 12 00:00:54,119 --> 00:01:00,119 on the Talk Radio Review and the official Talk Radio Countdown Show, the stories 13 00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:04,879 of Certainly you would expect that we would be talking j about the presidential race. 14 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,400 We will talk about the infighting and the Republican Party. We will talk 15 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:18,079 about the immigration problem, we will talk about the smoke problem. You see 16 00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:21,680 those pictures of New York. Good god, oh the time Laps video. 17 00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:25,000 It looks like something out of a horror film. It does. Yep, 18 00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:29,920 we will talk about what's going on in the gay and then some community. 19 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:38,840 The bidens are being investigated. Imagine that Trump is being investigated and that Yes, 20 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,719 the Russians are still at war with the Ukrainians, that's something to talk 21 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:48,239 about. The Chinese are going to build a base in Cuba. Our friends 22 00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:55,920 that we've helped so much to survive are going to build a base. It's 23 00:01:55,959 --> 00:02:00,840 to help protect Cuba. So they say, from what be my question? 24 00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:05,120 And if we had need brains, we'd be normalizing. Really, that's the 25 00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:09,680 one that's one of the things that Trump did that was bad. We should 26 00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:15,400 have complete relationships with Cuba, period, end of story. All right, 27 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,360 Well, anyway, so those are some of the things that we will be 28 00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:23,360 yakking about during the talk radio review. I thought it was interesting. You 29 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:29,599 know, we always are doing trending items, trending things, talking about the 30 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:37,800 world with hopefully a great degree of relevance, right So, and that's Jay's 31 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,120 job's my job. So I thought it was interesting looking at some of the 32 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,439 things that are online at this moment. One of the big things is a 33 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,360 shark attack in Egypt. Did you see about that? That's an interesting kind 34 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,520 of each No, I didn't see this one. Yeah, how old was 35 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,919 the victim? I didn't see that. I'm just looking quickly at list. 36 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,599 Frankly, Braun is not going to make electric shavers anymore. They're going to 37 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,039 power them with gasoline engines, just to kind of buck the trend. No, 38 00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:14,159 they're not really who's going to say, are we playing like real or 39 00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:17,879 fake news? A friend of mine who runs a hardware store, said to 40 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:24,599 me yesterday that he was told by Toro, which is the largest domestic manufacturer 41 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:34,199 of lawnmowers, that they will no longer make a gasoline powered engine driven gasoline 42 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:39,639 driven lawnmore he realized. I looked at him, and he rolled his eyes. 43 00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:46,400 He bought an extra hundred to sell this year because when people find out 44 00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:50,560 that they're going to be all electric, and they will, I'm sure some 45 00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:53,639 people will embrace it, and some people will turn their noses up as I 46 00:03:53,719 --> 00:04:02,039 am, because of the ludicrous focus the raise that is a part of this 47 00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:08,680 whole electronic revolution, which I hope I'm wrong, but I think it's going 48 00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:14,199 to backfire, and backfire big time because it's going to be so expensive A 49 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,600 and B. And this is the more important angle here, which is not 50 00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:23,800 something that I'm just coming to. This is something that many people have been 51 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,680 talking about for months, if not years, that we will drain the electric 52 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,759 power system to the point where it will be in gridlock, and people in 53 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,399 hot states like California, where they're really gone progressive in a manner of speaking, 54 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,160 will be without power, and they will be without air conditioning, and 55 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,680 they will be miserable, and hopefully they'll vote out guys like Gavin Newsom. 56 00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:48,920 Yeah, especially when you look at well, yeah, with the power grid 57 00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:53,319 and how they already to do some practices of well, we don't want to 58 00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:57,399 crash the system, so we're going to start doing rolling blackouts where it's not 59 00:04:57,439 --> 00:05:01,120 like there's something some natural event that is happening called this is. Yeah, 60 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,879 like the recession we're in, it's all man made, yes, government made. 61 00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:09,639 Yeah, right. And there are some households that cannot do without power, 62 00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:14,439 cannot do without the electricity, whether it is because they have medical devices 63 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,519 in the house or yeah this is and not everybody can afford a backup generator. 64 00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:23,560 Well, I have one because I need to have power to do this 65 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,199 radio program. If I don't have power from the normal natural sources, and 66 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,519 then I have a generator that flips on and go oh, powers the whole 67 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,079 house and all the farms going. Do you remember my last house, It 68 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,160 was above ground the duct choires, and my power would go out if the 69 00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:48,319 wind blew. It was awful. That's what happens here. It's going out 70 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:56,079 old rural neighborhood, narrow streets. People who are drunk on the weekend come 71 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,600 down the street, these narrow, windy roads and crash into telephone polls all 72 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,240 the time, knock them over. Power goes out and so but the electric 73 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,040 company and the folks that do utilities like Verizon, Oh, we can't do 74 00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:14,199 that. It would hurt our investors too much. We don't have the money 75 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,120 to do it. That's why PG and E let the fires burn or created 76 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,639 the atmosphere in which the fires were burning California, because they don't. They'd 77 00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:30,439 rather kill people. They'd rather kill people than to disappoint their investors. So 78 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,240 there you go, speaking of killing people. Pat Robertson's passed away. We'll 79 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:42,240 talk about that in a little bit. And then there's Father's Day, Father's 80 00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:46,800 Day, and what to do for your dad on Father's Day.

One of the other things that is trending is the El Nino. 103 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,039 I was listening to the newscast the top of the hour and the focus 104 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,279 on El Nino and what it means. And I don't know whether we can 105 00:08:52,039 --> 00:08:56,759 kind of coordinate this with what's going on in New York City and the drying 106 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,919 us up in Canada and the fire is there. So this is a warm 107 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:13,080 weather pattern in the Pacific Ocean and that shapes droughts and heat and things the 108 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,960 hurricane season, doesn't it, Oh yeah, it does. So it usually 109 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:24,279 takes the grabs about the same time, and maybe this is no coincidence. 110 00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:26,240 I don't know the edge of that specifically, Jay, but you make a 111 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:31,159 good point because June is the beginning of the hurricane season as well, and 112 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,519 there've already been a couple of tropical depressions that have started and formed in that 113 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:41,399 area near the equator in the Atlantic. And is that where is you know, 114 00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:48,440 like an eighty four percent chance of some kind of moderation in temperature. 115 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:54,919 So the and that this increases as you know, we're talking about the whole 116 00:09:54,919 --> 00:10:01,639 business of it's called southern oscillation. The way, according to Noah, a 117 00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:09,480 National Ocean Granite stat again Duck National Ocean Granitic or why do I National Ocean 118 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:16,519 a Graphic Administration, whatever it is. It's no headquartered down on the cape 119 00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:24,600 anyway. So this is something that will affect the weather for obviously all of 120 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,399 us farmers, and that sort of thing. Stronger the event, the more 121 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:35,960 likely it is that area is known and impacted by things like hurricanes, you're 122 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,639 gonna be affected. Now this moderate sometimes it changes. There have been years 123 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,320 when there was an El Nino and it's sort of stopped mid stream, if 124 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,440 you'll pardon the pun to La Nina so you know, the Elnno is the 125 00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:58,639 masculine side of this, supposedly the tougher side, the warming phase, yep. 126 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:05,360 And then there's Nina that's the cooling phase. So that's Semina. You 127 00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:11,879 know there's a joke in there, Yes there is. So anyway, we 128 00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:18,960 will have the looking at the long term forecast for the country. And when 129 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,720 I say long term, you know you can go to the various weather websites 130 00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:26,600 and you can see like the next week or ten days. And sometimes I 131 00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:31,519 find that accu weather is pretty accurate, almost down to the hour. Have 132 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:37,039 you ever noticed that now, because I'm in farming season and I need to 133 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,320 kind of know hour by hour more to do my haying than anything else. 134 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:48,440 Um. So yeah, anyway, so it'll be a wet summer, it'll 135 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,879 be a hot summer. We are having here in the Northeast, a lot 136 00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:56,320 of rain. I should have started my hanging on the farm just about the 137 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,159 time it started a rain again, and so now we haven't done that yet. 138 00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:11,399 Good luck to those of you farmers who are doing that. First full 139 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,120 week is under our belt now in the month of June, and you have 140 00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:20,080 sunshine, lollipops and roses and Also, those of you who were followers of 141 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:26,360 the Seven hundred Club are probably sad today because Pat Robertson, the well known 142 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,039 televangelist. He and Billy Graham, I don't know if they if you would 143 00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:37,120 put them into the same category or not. Pat Robertson, he was described 144 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,840 often as the leader of the religious right. I don't know whether that's what 145 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,360 people feel or not. I happen to have worked for him for a little 146 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,519 over a year found him to be I guess the best way I can put 147 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,639 it as he was an interesting fellow and had lots of angles, came across 148 00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:01,600 as one thing on television and was in real life something different. That happens 149 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:09,360 a lot with the people anyway. He was familiar, certainly in terms of 150 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,600 politics, very involved, and wanted to have people of the religious of the 151 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:20,080 people who were members and watchers to the Seven hundred Club. He wanted them 152 00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:24,279 to know where he stood and where they should was that this is what you 153 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,759 should do, so from being a pastor to being a strong political force. 154 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:33,080 I remember him from having worked with him, worked for him. Actually i'd 155 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,600 never worked with him. You didn't work with Pat Rabitson. You worked for 156 00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:43,799 him and if you didn't believe in the religious and other traditions that were part 157 00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:48,919 of his family and the political side of things, then you were out. 158 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:54,240 His father was a powerful US Senator, and he grew up around politics. 159 00:13:54,799 --> 00:14:01,080 He was described as the leader of the White Evangelical Christian Church, which I 160 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:07,120 thought was very interesting, and the Christian Broadcasting Network, which he started in 161 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:15,440 nineteen sixty. He had telethons like the PBS. He was actually the first 162 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,480 one to do that. Instead of people think the PBS, the first to 163 00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:22,360 who had no it was Robertson. He got a lot of money, made 164 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,279 a lot of money this way, and so anyway, a lot of people 165 00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:30,399 have a lot of thoughts one way or another about Pat Robertson, who has 166 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,200 passed away. I am Robert Strickler. My wife Joyce, and I have 167 00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:39,120 been married for fifty three years. Certainly one of the really important things in 168 00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:45,480 my life are our children and our grandchildren. I am essentially a writer. 169 00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:50,000 I've been involved in communications in the media. I've been an avid fly fisherman 170 00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:54,519 for at least forty or more years. I've been taking privilege in on a 171 00:14:54,600 --> 00:15:00,600 regular basis for at least eight years. For me, the greatest benefitt over 172 00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:05,919 the years has been that Privigen seems to help me recall things and also think 173 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,519 more clearly, have a crisper ability to remember and think through things. And 174 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:18,240 I enthusiastically recommend Privigen. It has helped me an awful lot, providing healthier 175 00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:22,759 brain, better life.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, you'll be happy 179 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:41,399 to know that today is National Donald Duck Day. Donald, could you hold 180 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,200 on for saying introduce you and talk to the world about what this day is 181 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:54,159 all about. This is the first day that Donald Duck was actually introduced by 182 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,600 Walt Disney June ninth, nineteen thirty four. Donald, I didn't know you 183 00:15:56,639 --> 00:16:10,559 were that old. Frankly, Jay, can you understand what he's saying? 184 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,159 No, But all I can think of is the line that Donald always says, 185 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:29,039 it's exasperating. Exasperating, Yes, why Donald, I would like to 186 00:16:29,159 --> 00:16:33,919 have people here. So the updated version of Donald Duck and talk about some 187 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,480 of the issues of the day. For example, what does Donald Duck think 188 00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:52,320 about diversity? Huh? Okay, right, uh, you're an uncle the 189 00:16:52,519 --> 00:17:06,599 three Ducklings. How are the Ducklings behaving? Okay? Um? If again? 190 00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:14,200 Did you ever actually make an honest woman out of Daisy Well star? 191 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:26,880 H Have you ever gotten tired of all of the movies and all the animated 192 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,160 cartoons that you've been here? That's a lot of work, isn't it. 193 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:45,079 Oh? I wonderful, warful? And you still live in Duckberg. You 194 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,160 lived at a long time at Duckberg. Do you still live there? Who 195 00:17:48,160 --> 00:18:03,480 are? Who are? Mm hmmm? So Donald? What makes you so 196 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,640 relatable in the world today? You were something that was really swelled in nineteen 197 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:14,960 thirty four, but it's twenty twenty three, and so how have things changed 198 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:27,720 in your life over these years? Let's see I can understand that. All 199 00:18:27,799 --> 00:18:33,359 right, the voice of Donald Duck is actually the voice of my dear friend, 200 00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:40,039 longtime colleague and a participant in making this program hold together as part of 201 00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:45,880 the glue of this program, Bob Clos, for whom I first worked in 202 00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:49,640 six All right, okay, come on, we'll tell a couple of Yeah, 203 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,279 right, I think you, as a matter of fact, Jay, 204 00:18:53,559 --> 00:19:03,240 you published a picture when you stop at donald when you become Bob. Now, 205 00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:07,480 okay, so um, Bob, what do you want? Give me 206 00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:12,559 a break here the factor in the morning. That's true. So I think 207 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,319 you published a you put up on the on the duck step on the good 208 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:23,160 Day website or did you put it on Facebook? Jaky Facebook? Okay, 209 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,720 picture of you all, picture of the the radio rascals. It was like 210 00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:33,960 a w b Z Yes, it is a w b Z uh sort of 211 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,559 reunion for four of us. And then there are a couple of other uh, 212 00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:42,559 there are a couple of other local invaders to the to the party who 213 00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:48,200 do local radio on the station that we're actually heard of heard on up in 214 00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:52,519 Lowell, Mass w c AP. Anyway, So one of the many things 215 00:19:52,519 --> 00:19:56,599 that Bob has done over the years being program director of a dozen or so 216 00:19:56,759 --> 00:20:00,119 great radio stations. Run some great radio stations. All right, yeah, 217 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,400 well listen, and most of them long enough for a cup of coffee. 218 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,720 Yeah, well listen. That's the way of the world when you're doing this 219 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,160 sort of That's why I wanted to do this instead of doing the thing because 220 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,799 I was. We were talking about this the other day. I've been on 221 00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:18,039 at least a dozen stations, and I think you I think you agreed, 222 00:20:18,079 --> 00:20:21,640 didn't I say that I've been on about a dozen local station in addition to 223 00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:25,519 doing this broadcast, maybe more than a dozen stations. If I had to 224 00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:30,519 sit out on every radio station in New England, come on, yeah, 225 00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:33,880 that I have. I've been around anyway. When I knew you, you 226 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:40,720 run a different format station every night. One night on beautiful music right JIB 227 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:47,160 Boston. The next night you were on WBCN BOSTONN doing hard rock. The 228 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:52,880 next day you were on WBZ doing you know, chicken rock or adult whatever 229 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,960 the heck we call that music back then. Yeah, so, and then 230 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,759 then the next day you're on w e I doing talk. Hey listen. 231 00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:03,640 We had a varied career. It was. It was good to do lots 232 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,720 of different things. And when you were on w NRI I down here doing 233 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,880 uh right, you know, new birth and uh an, obituaries, I 234 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,079 had all. I was doing all these things at the same time, and 235 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,240 that was the thing of many of them I was on. When I remember 236 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,640 we used to laugh about Sundays when I was on w JIB, I was 237 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:27,599 on w BZFM, and I was on wj W nt N. Anyway, 238 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,000 So the world of radio fascinating place. One of the stories that we tell, 239 00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:37,680 and we'll cap this conversation the fund that we've had over the years. 240 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,400 One of the one of the one of the neatest things we did. When 241 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:47,279 you were leaving w b Z to go to Wo Wo and Fort Wayne. 242 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,759 Uh, there was a party that was held and the fellow who was your 243 00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:56,759 boss managed to procure a couple of ducks as a present for you. And 244 00:21:56,839 --> 00:22:03,160 so the evening that the ducks appeared at this party, Uh, they everybody 245 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:08,279 said, well, what are we gonna name these ducks? Wellmado, yes, 246 00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:14,319 and Bob's real name is Marvin and my real name is Dudley. So 247 00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:18,599 guess what the names were Jay for the ducks. The ducks name Marvin and 248 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:25,680 Dudley. And there was a famous broadcaster in Boston named Jerry Williams who was 249 00:22:25,759 --> 00:22:30,599 on WBZ in the evenings, and he had he was heard in forty states, 250 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,880 had the biggest ratings of the country, and he was quite the character. 251 00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:37,680 I think that's a good way of describing him, don't you. He 252 00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:41,279 was quite the character. He was one of the He was an originator, 253 00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:45,720 one of the best. Yea. He plays trails that no one had done 254 00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:51,359 before, including dealing with a couple of ducks. So we brought the ducks 255 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,559 over to the studio. You could never get away with us today. We 256 00:22:53,680 --> 00:23:00,480 brought the ducks over to the WBZ studios on soldiers Field Road in Boston and 257 00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:06,680 brought the ducks. Well, the people around here now he's always not important, 258 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,400 okay, So bring the ducks into the station. And in those days, 259 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,160 the studios had airlocks, so there was a door outside and the door 260 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:23,599 inside to protect and maintain the soundproofing in the studio. So we decide to 261 00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:30,039 Jerry Williams is doing a commercial, and we decide to open the door, 262 00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:33,400 the airlock and the inside door and let the ducks go into the studio. 263 00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:38,079 You couldn't see us, no, he just saw the ducks. The ducks 264 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,839 come quacking in and that we I don't think we have any of that sound. 265 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,400 And did you ever save the audio from that? That was it was, 266 00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:49,400 I know, the funny. He was such a pro. He just 267 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:56,160 kept going. I mean he's reading his commercial for the Charlie's Tire service or 268 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,559 whatever, and the ducks are quacking in the back of Oh, I think 269 00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:03,640 a couple of ducks just walked in the studio and then he went back and 270 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,880 continue doing the spot. Yeah right, anyway, and Bob is always no 271 00:24:08,319 --> 00:24:11,599 but yeah, no, I didn't face them at all. So the whole 272 00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:15,480 point here is, as we um talk about Donald Duck Day, et cetera, 273 00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:21,720 et cetera, the whole reason that Bob became the voice of Donald Duck 274 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,559 in the sense that he has was because of the duck that noises that he 275 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,480 made and when when they were thinking of a good gift to give him, 276 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:37,319 as he why not ducks? Right, all kinds of noises, but that's 277 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,319 one of the best of them. All. Right, Well, happy Donald 278 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:52,559 Duck Day. Donald's there's another broadcast moment that will go down in history. 279 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:59,359 The Supreme Court, shockingly, on a five to four decision, has ruled 280 00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:06,319 that Alabama has discriminated against black voters. You would not expect this to come 281 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:11,359 from this Supreme Court because of the political makeup, but because Chief Justice John 282 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:18,200 Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh sided with the three liberal judges. The decision as 283 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,880 shaken and annoyed a lot of right wingers. And Alabama more than one and 284 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,359 four residents are black, about twenty seven percent, about twice the national average, 285 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,880 and the state's current congressional map includes only one black district out of seven 286 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,559 total, so you can be sure that's going to change. But what it 287 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:44,799 does is show you how incredibly racist as some of these Southern Republicans are. 288 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:51,519 Like it or not, that's really oh my god. Yes, So the 289 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,240 Supreme Court says it violates the Voting Rights Act of nineteen sixty five. So 290 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,720 Alabama and Louisiana, which has the same problem, are going to have to 291 00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:07,880 redraw the congressional districts before the election next year in order to give black voters 292 00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:12,359 a fair and equal voice, which is only fair, frankly. And you 293 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:17,519 can say Justice Thomas, of course went the way of the right wingers. 294 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,160 Anyway, I think he's disgraceful. And that's it, the Supreme Court story. 295 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,680 So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would 296 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,000 be ringing off the hook and people will be ordering nauseum.

A 317 00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:00,960 matter of fact, I want to talk right now about what the Triple A 318 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,440 is saying. They estimate thirty seven point one million drivers are going to hit 319 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:14,640 the roads this summer, and that number includes those traveling fifty miles or more 320 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,519 fifty miles away from home. That's a six percent increase from last year. 321 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:26,039 So that'll be what two million additional card travelers more than last year. So 322 00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:30,039 here's an overview. Let's get to the nitty gritty from Andy Solomon in the 323 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,079 Know. I'm Andy Solomon.

Also schedule a regular services such as tuneups, oil 329 00:28:55,079 --> 00:28:59,279 changes, battery checks, and tire rotations. Once your car is ready, 330 00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:02,799 make sure you have your cell phone and a safety kit with a phone charger, 331 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,160 battery backup, a first aid kit, flashlight, water and snacks. 332 00:29:07,559 --> 00:29:11,359 The last thing to do is decide when to leave.

All right, so, 338 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,240 because Nick is not with us, I'll cover a few things that are 339 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:38,680 going on in the world of automotive news or actually, I found this story 340 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,720 to be the most compelling of all the things that have to do with automobile 341 00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:48,160 travel. A driver's survived this week after the car he was in that had 342 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:53,039 broken down, it was picked up by a tow truck. He stayed in 343 00:29:53,079 --> 00:29:56,960 the car, which I thought was illegal. I didn't think you could stay 344 00:29:56,319 --> 00:30:00,200 in the car while the tow trucks hauling you down the road. But anyway, 345 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:07,880 the car flew off the tow truck and vaulted into the air before it 346 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:14,480 crashed. So anyway, this guy's in the hospital. This took place in 347 00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:21,279 Georgia, and the sheriff's deputy happened to be following the truck and his body 348 00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:23,799 cam was on, so you can he was following. He was responding to 349 00:30:23,799 --> 00:30:29,640 a separate accident across the highway, and then this thing happens. So the 350 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,960 footage shows the car traveling in the same lane as the tow truck and the 351 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,279 truck the car comes off of the truck. Anyway, it's wrecked, and 352 00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:45,440 this guy's likely to be alive. Because that's the bottom line in that story. 353 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:52,279 The folks at Tesla have said that they are going to build a battery 354 00:30:52,359 --> 00:30:57,839 specifically for GM vehicles. Now they're super charges, which is something that they're 355 00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:03,200 well known for. I think what I sense here is that anybody and everybody 356 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,960 can be had for a buck. Right at first, Tesla said, nope, 357 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,920 this is our this is this is our stuff, and nobody else is 358 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,039 going to have it. But apparently GM's not having much luck in developing and 359 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,000 you know, actually what they should do is share. They should do it. 360 00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:22,519 I recreate the wheel here. So there's that. The fellow who's been 361 00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:29,279 running Dodge USA is now heading up Ram as well. So they put the 362 00:31:29,319 --> 00:31:33,640 truck used to be they were Dodge trucks and they will call Rams. Now 363 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,079 they're not called Dodge trucks anymore. They just called Ram trucks, which I 364 00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:44,720 think is a mistake because everybody still calls them Dodge trucks. So I'm going 365 00:31:44,759 --> 00:31:48,039 to predict that because this guy has been put back in charge of the truck 366 00:31:48,079 --> 00:31:52,799 division, that you're going to see what I just talked about come back again. 367 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,000 That the Dodge emblem on the trucks will be back as I think it 368 00:31:56,079 --> 00:32:00,039 should. Nobody what Ram truck. Nobody knows what Ram is other than the 369 00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:05,279 sheep, but they all know what dodges. So anyway, there's that. 370 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:10,920 And now there's a picture on Tom's website, our autoexpert dot com of him 371 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,960 standing in front of the new Lexus. The new Lexus was one of the 372 00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:22,480 first, really I guess, Upscale SUVs. And so now the twenty twenty 373 00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:29,720 four Lexus has been introduced the t X. It's made in America. Interestingly 374 00:32:29,799 --> 00:32:35,079 enough, it's an oh, it's a sort of redeview re design of the 375 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,920 GX.
