The next Stephen Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Kellatrin, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by priviging keeping your brain healthy. Oh Friday,
and that means you can eat fried food all day. That's what I
thought it meant when I was a youngster. Oh really, right up Friday,
that they'd to eat fried food, fried food for everybody. Today it
is the twenty second of September. Later on in the day there will be
a moderate celebration to welcome in fall twenty twenty three. And then tomorrow you
can have a big party because that's the first full day of fall, the
equinoxy. All the things that are happening. I think we have a Maria
trilogy. Are estrallas around with this Monday, right next Monday to explain the
significance of this month's change and going into fall, and what is in the
stars and what's in the moon other than a big pizza pie. That's a
Moray. This whole business of medicaid and what's going to face families medicaid.
I thought medicaid was for people my age, Medicare Medicaid. But now there's
a bill to extend Medicaid coverage to all children by automatically enrolling them in this
health program, the Health in Chance program that is federalized. So what does
this do? How does what's the situation with children now? At present?
You get Medicaid if your family's income is somewhat near the poverty level. I
think, so, how much is this? All this stuff? I love
when people that's all going to be free. It isn't free. That's an
outrage that you try to foster that idea onto people. Well, your own
have to pay for it. It's free. No, it's not free.
That is the I don't like the word a lot. I don't like to
use it in my own conversation. But that is a damnable lie. Of
course, it's not free. You may not have to pay for it,
so maybe free to you, but I'm going to pay for it, and
other people who are paying. Their legitimate countries do it. A lot of
countries do their technique same this sort of same thing. It depends on whether
you're it's it is to use a word. The socialist side of this.
Canada, for example, I think has the program, Spain, France,
many of the European countries and those that no way has it. I'm trying
to think who else in this candon Evan I think, but I've been all
these candon Adian countries have it, Portugal, the heavily unionized countries, heavily
socialized countries. Interesting that both of those things go together, often in the
same sentence. But I don't see how that's how that's right. Again,
if you're going to come up with the system, I don't know what a
better system is, frankly. So that's the question. The problem is what's
the solution. If this isn't the right thing to do, then what is
the right thing to do? And so one of the problems, frankly,
when you look at the stats as all the illegals that have coming to this
country. That when we do our talk radio review and the talk radio Countown
show this week, once again one of the items that has been discussed heavily,
not necessarily on this program because the charts the Talkers magazine puts together and
not necessarily the reflection of a reflection of what we talk about here, but
news talk stations generally may be a lot more political than are we, and
so this sort of thing comes up. But the migrant crisis this week is
number five on the countdown, has been in the countdown now pretty much regularly
for months because the Biden administration isn't doing anything and that pointing the fickle finger
or fate at these as doesn't fix the problem. So Senator Casey from from
Pennsylvania has come up with this idea, and it's kind of a complicated formula.
The Department of Health and Human Services says are on four percent of children
in America are uninsured. Okay, so that's three million youngsters under the age
of eighteen, and so why is that a problem now? Is that because
we have more families If you look at the families, and this can sound
prejudicial or not, depends on your point of view, I guess, much
as anything else, most of these children, not all of them, but
most of the children, certainly more than half of them are coming from non
native families who have come here illegally or they try to get into the system,
and they you know, there's a willingness among some politicians to cover everybody.
So I don't want to sound like a heartless clock here because I think
the children need to be taken care of. But we've got to get to
the root of the of the problem. And the problem isn't necessarily native born
Americans, but the people who are coming in here from all over the place.
Is the problem that people are coming in regardless or people who are undocumented
coming in. I think there's a little of both, but more undocumented,
Yeah, that's the that's a point. More undocumented people that are just they've
come in. So people throw their hands up and say, Okay, well,
I guess we'll give them a citizenship. How does that feel to a
person who has gone through the process the right way and has spent many fourteen
fifteen months maybe trying to find a way to pass the exams and do what's
required, and then some other some boob comes into the country and just just
just fades into oblivion and shows up in Colorado. It gets a job working
at a restaurant, and you know, is able to survive. But it's
not it's not right. And I think that anyway, there's a lot of
it's probably going to get a lot of strong opposition. You can figure that
from the Republicans anyway. But so here we have that issue and you also
have the issue that all the the money that we've used raised the debt ceiling.
Again, you've got to in order to pay for this stuff, and
there's got to be I would think, you know, the news media,
the liberal side of the news media, it points its finger and all the
Republicans are bad guys because they don't want to do this, that and the
other thing. Well, maybe the Republicans are bad guys when it comes to
some stuff, just like the Democrats are bad guys when it comes to some
stuff. But at some points you get point. You've got to face the
music here and so and what do we have another week? Today's the twenty
second, so a week from days the twenty ninth, the thirty in October
first is week from this Sunday, and that's when the new fiscal year starts.
And asn't been a deal made yet, that is something that's on the
countdown. Certainly, I think it's number. Do I give it away?
I shouldn't give it away, right, give it away? I want to
be a spoiler. Excuse me. So anyway, there's an issue that is
serious, no question about it. And now I might as well as where
this sounds like the Doom and Gloom portion of the program. There is a
survey. I now, who knows where this is. I think this is
federally funded checking on the value of people's homes and the here we go with
the climate thing. If you have a home that's on the beach, right,
you're close to the water, you're the values of I just talked to
a friend of mine yesterday who brought a friend on a foul mouth which is
on the cape. Excuse me. He bought this little shack and paid a
million seven for it. It's on the water, right, So then what
happens. This is a study from the First Street Foundation. The frequency,
the severity, the extreme nature of the weather events that are happening. I
see that's what the story reads, but I don't see it. Frankly.
The heat we had, yeah, this summer, this other first time has
been this hot, and the hurricane season has been a bust in areas with
wildfires. Yeah, the wildfires, But how much of that is caused by
neglect rather than the climate. The climate may enter into it. But the
fires that have happened in Hawaii, the hot fires that happen in California,
those are the big fires have happened because of corporate neglect. Yeah, there
are people who are irresponsible with camp fires, and there have been people who've
set fires who have hopefully I think most of them have been caught. But
yeah, that's not that that happens as a result of the way society is
developing. People don't take correspond they don't think I'm gonna have a fire outside,
let's cook our meals. We're going camping and people doing their own fireworks,
or the pregnancy and sex reveals and all of that stuff. Yeah,
but yeah, but then the way the drain is and the climate there,
how it exasperates it. It's enough for a lot of homes to be losing
their value. Yep, Well I don't. If you look at the coastal
areas, depends on where you are in the west, they certainly haven't lost
any value. And where I am or close to the cape, the beaches,
coastal homes around here, I don't they're not losing value at all.
If anything, they're going up and I'm more rap at rate. And then
the valuing of foams that are let's say in my neighborhood, which is twenty
six miles from the water, so this study suggests there are thirty nine forty
million homes in that vicinity because of wind and wildfire and flood risk, will
lose their value. When I don't see that there happen a lot more flash
flooding happening. Yeah. Well, the heavy rains have certainly not done this
any good. I've seen that on the farm and around here up in New
England, crops have been ruined. People not getting things done. Where you're
hear me talking about this development that I've involved in, we've been stymying to
a point because the lower areas they're all mud and they got to drain them
out and do it the right way. So that is a problem. But
that's I don't think that's what this bubble overview suggests. I think it's this
is more coastal stuff, isn't it, Jay, When you look through it
to see it's just any any area. The way I took from this was
any area that has the severity of extreme weather events that have been increasing what
they perceived to be climate change, which could be the wildfires, the flooding,
but it changes. It's differ earthquakes, the uptick of earthquakes. Yeah,
well, earthquakes listen and I have earthquakes no matter what. There's been
an earthquakes since the since the planet began. It planted. The shelf of
the planet, the seventy miles down just continues to move around. Again,
you look at the way the Earth when when it was first formed, was
all water and then the land sort of popped up and it moved around.
So it's it's a sticky situation, no question about that. But there's the
information vay to chew on here. Focus on Kelly Clarkson and our celebrity news.
I guess this would be the gossip section, right ja. Social media
and gossip kind of go hand and together, like love and marriage, love
and marriage and see, can we put that to celebrity and news now it
doesn't work all right? Well, anyway, Kelly is talking about her children
and what they're good at. So if you're interested in Kelly, I think
she's quite an interesting lady. What does she doing with her children? I
think maybe there's a lesson in here. There's a good conversation about what she's
encouraging and thus a reflection on what you may be doing with your children.
So well, I don't think her real talent lies in her singing, although
she certainly does a lot of it and is very popular. I think her
humanness is the star quality of her as a human being, as seems to
poke its way through. And here she's talking about how her children communicate their
emotions, how they express their emotions, and when you look around at what
some parents aren't able to do and what they do scouraged their children to do.
I mean, it goes back for decades. I remember applying this thing
my father because I was emotional about animals and things in life. I was
very immortal. I still am. I've always been emotional in my life.
My father thought there was something wrong with me because I expressed my feelings.
And so as I grew into parenthood, I encouraged my children to if they
were they had hurt feelings or whatever it is, and not to but not
just to express them. But okay, what do you do to change it
for yourself? How do you address the problem, Why are you feeling this
way? And what do you do about it? Well that's cycled too,
because a lot of times parents are very triggered by their children crying, and
before they respond to them, they react to them and oftentimes they're react in
a way that they themselves as children were reacted to how their parents are guardians
reacted to them crying. And it's once you identify if you didn't have a
good example set, you have to break the cycle yourself and identify that why
you're being so triggered by your children showing any kind of emotion or feelings.
And Ry Clarkson has been wonderful about encouraging her children to show their feelings and
identify And now at seven and nine, they can walk into a room and
be like, Hey, I'm sad about this. So this hurt my feelings
and not only be able to identify it, but have the courage to say
that when a lot of times, so many people are told that in a
manner of speaking, not in these exact words, but your feelings are an
inconvenience. Well, a lot of parents are so wrapped up in their own
world that they shouldn't have children begin with. And b they don't know what
to do with the emotion of the children because they don't know what to do
with their own emotions because they had parents like my father who said, you
know, black up and so it's but there's a difference. Also, there's
some the crying. If you use that as a I don't think that's necess
serially a good way to look at it, expect because a lot of things
happen because of crying. Crying can be tied with a lot of things,
but it's emotions in general. Let your children speak. I am Robert Strickler.
My wife Joyce, and I have been married for fifty three years.
Certainly one of the really important things in my life are our children and our
grandchildren. I am essentially a writer. I've been involved in communications in the
media. I've been an avid fly fisherman for at least forty or more years.
I've been taking Privigen on a regular basis for at least eight years.
For me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that Privigen seems to
help me recall things and also think more clearly, have a crisper ability to
remember and think through things. And I enthusiastically recommend Privigen. It has helped
me an awful lot. Provigen healthier brain, better life. Robert Strickler is

many parts the country at this time or up and Adam ready to go to
school? Right? Did you like meentary school better? Junior high school?
High school? I think there are a lot of people who are going to
high school that find themselves finding themselves, do you know what I mean?
By the time you're in a high school, For some it's prime suffering because
you're going through puberty or teenager parents don't know anything right, and then nobody
understands. But also college is coming in, whether or not you're going to
college or whatever you're going to do after Sure, high schools is only four
years, and I think that that realization really starts to kick in if you
only have a few more years and then you're out of here and you are
onto the next big scary adventure, especially being separated from people that you've gone
to school with for nearly eighteen years. This is the time of year,
going into the fall, the leaves start changing. I just it seems to
me like leaves just grew out on the trees around here. I'm reminded of
a thought that may apply to things as we start fall twenty twenty three and
think about our lives as we have lived them so far this year, from
winter to spring, to summer and now to fall, and all the fullness
of those beautiful trees, and now the leaves start to change, and a
couple of months from now the leaves will all be gone, and we get
into this funk. I think that's what happens in a lot of the northern
climbs where California, the leaves don't go away. Florida, they don't really
go away. Southwest, there really no leaves to go away. It's just
so. It's something about it, though, that really sets a tone.
I think when you look outside to see sunshine and flowers and things growing,
it really makes you feel good. Wow, another gray day, and then
there's the it's getting cold, and so with the cold we wear more clothing,
takes longer to get ready. It's just a whole bunch of things.
I'm trying to bring you down. I'm just and maybe dealing with my own
stuff here because I don't. You said you love the fall. I don't.
It isn't that I mind the fall. It's just what comes after it.
I've just always been someone who didn't least favorite season. Yeah, Winter's
awful. Yes see, winter is my favorite, So fall is kind of
like the lead ups winter. Summer is my least favorite time season. So
yeah, as soon as it's like, oh we're getting into fall, yes,
yeah, all right, See what else we can yelling and scream about
or at least be happy about. Maybe some people are happy that Rupert Murdoch
is not going to be the chairman at Fox News. I really this is
sort of some people news. I thought i'd passed along. I don't really
care. His son Lachland is taking over. Okay, so what do you
what do you think is gonna happen? It's different there. Nothing doesn't affect
the stock mark, It doesn't. It's just another guy with a bloated ego
who has had a lot of way too much to say about things that happen
in our country, way too much influence through Fox and his own machinations.
And you know what he believes. I think this is what the country needs.
Okay, Well, he was good enough in terms of business to create
something out of nothing, so you got to give him a lot of kudos
for that. Lackland hasn't created anything. He's just there on the ride.
But you know, the old man kind of figured it out, and he
was smart enough to hire people like Roger Ales and other folks that have been
around like him, that created something that attracted people to watch, something that
had advertising in it, that was profitable, that made the situation very,
very profitable. The value of it isn't how much money you could sell the
advertising for, not what things that he just happened as a bonus because Rupert
Murdoch is a quite right of center and so his philosophy is what he was
selling. Yep. I'm going to sell this, I'm gonna make people like
it. I'm going to do it the right way. I started it all
at the young age of twenty one. Yeah, and he is always just
now stepping down at the age of ninety two. He has had a very
long successful Yeah yeah, yeah, he has. He's got like Richard Branson
has followed in the same sort of footsteps. When you think about the origins
the news, Branson started as a delivery boy for newspapers and then he started
thinking, well, look at all this and how can I do something.
He was a great salesman, and so as you know, maybe you can
say that about a lot of people who have harnessed their own abilities and found
something that worked for them and they just kept going. So, yeah,
there are a lot of people like that that are sadly resented by people because
they've been successful. Look at all the money he's got. How come I
don't have that? Well, because you didn't do what they did or tell
them that they have to give their money away to other people where you really
should be able to. It might be nice to see somebody do that,
but you can't tell somebody what to do with their money. No. Yeah,
the government, ken, yep, we're going to take more from you,
twenty two percent more. Let's get those tax dollars in so we can
help sustain the lives of people that shouldn't be here in the first place.
I get really cynical when it comes to this. So let's move on.
Yeah, I really do all remember this? No good sob Alex Murdoch,
who was involved in financial fraud, money laundering, all of that stuff.
He was a lawyer, so now he's been through the system and he played
guilty to all of the twenty two counts against him, and he's apologized to
the victims. So what's the next step here? What are they going to
do? He's already serving a life sentence after his Yeah, his wife and
his youngest son. Yeah, but also at this point, like what does
he have to lose? Why wouldn't you confess to things? Well, and
this is me and being the contrarian, this guy shouldn't go to jail because
he was guilty of financial fraud. He should go to jail for killing his
wife and his son and never get out again, which is pretty much the
case. But why isn't there a way to take his expertise and you know,
the financial fraud piece of this and work toward I mean, he has
a skill obviously of figuring out how to scroup people with their money. So
let's take that skill watching markets or whatever it is that he did and turn
it around so that he can help other people who need to be helped,
Right, why don't we take that expert He was like the same thing with
the what's his face? Mattow? What was the guy's name that was in
New York? It was Mattow? Right? Oh? Yeah, Anyway,
these people shouldn't be in jail, or if they are in jail, they
should be in a special jail where they can as part of their punishment,
they can be making money and helping people attributing members. Totally right. Yeah,
Murda is a bad example, just because he did murder, because he
killed. Yeah, but had he not? Yeah? Yeah, all right.
Another person in the news is Congresswoman Jennifer Wexton, who has announced you
will not be running for reelection because she has progressive super nuclear palsy, which
is a neurological disorder that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy. This is
horrible. This is Parkinson's kind of in a manner of speaking. So she's
got it's what the doctors describe as Parkinson's on steroids. So you can't hold
your body, your muscles are out of control, can't really get treatment for
it, there's no therapy for it. So she will spend the rest of
her life in misery. What a shame. Oh my god. It's the
reason. It's not significant that she's a congress person. It's significant that she's
got this thing, and that she is at least expressing her letting people into
her life, so that they can see what goes on here, but most
of I bet you there's a nutritional because food is medicine. I'll bet somewhere
there's a nutritional fix, or maybe not a fix, but a way to
make it less painful. And I'm here, I am They sound arrogant.
Wow, it's gonna be a fix somewhere. I just think they've all people
are saying themselves. Don't think she's probably already gone all those funds and as
managing as best as she can can. Yep, all right, here's the
next person in the news. A youngster named Cooper Reid high school football player
crowned homecoming king last year. At this time, he was seriously hurt and
a football incident, severe head injuries high school football game. This is something
that's damnable. Another example of why there shouldn't be high school football. You
get exposed to this sort of thing. This guy, this kid could have
could have died from this traumatic brain injury that he suffered. But he's come
around and he was on the field for the homecoming game. He was crowned
homecoming King. His mother said she felt blessed to be on the deal with
their son. Community obviously rallied to him. But have they examined why he
got hurt the way that he did, and have they examined what might happen
to other youngsters who are the same age playing the same game. So there
are lots of different messages here. He underwent a whole lot of physical therapy,
He's not completely recovered yet they keep working on him, keeping the focus
on what's ahead instead of what happened before. And I guess that's all well
and good if you want to continue to promote high school football and the dangers
and ignore the dangers that are there. But this is a prima facia case
of why there should not be high school football the way they play it because
their bodies that by the kids that age is still growing and vulnerable. All
of those parts in your body are not stable. They haven't gotten Your muscles
haven't grown, your bones haven't grown to their full peak. A lot of
damage can take place. So up Doug can always find that negative side of
the football story, because I think it is an immense problem that nobody look
at all of the stuff going on with football and college football. You can
you can't turn on the television set any unit of the week now, not
see a football game, a pro game, a college game, and people
can get hurt, especially with the tackling, and I like that with a
lot of other sports. The Browns just lost one of our leaders due to
a significant knee injury. Really, yeah, I did. I saw that
as a matter of fact. All right, let's see here one more person
in the news. A lady named Linda Jones, tenant at a condominium in
Colorado, lost everything in a couple of separate fires that burned their units this
past a year, not once, but twice. The only thing this woman
took away from the fire was your dog. Fires and so these that's interesting.
The children are trying to help out, and then the bartender in the
nearby restaurant decided to coordinate a fundraiser to generate money to help this woman who
has basically become homeless. They're trying to get seventy grand. How are they
doing on the go fund? It looks like eleven thousand bucks now, yeah
at this point, yeah, it's about it. Yeah, just a little
over twelve. Imagine this though happening to you, Dolly here and dollar there
about yeah, one hundred and sixty units in this building uninhabitable, and the
insurance companies, of course, are denying. And there you go, that's
the secret sauce for them. Oh, dunna, I dunna. I know
you can't get that money, all right. I've been cynical enough. So
it's great business time for college and I would think the phones would be ringing
off the hook and people would be ordering nauseum. That's right. You know,
it'll be twenty five years this April, and we've been helping customers lose
weight safely and effectively for twenty five years. So if you need to loose
away, you've really got to check it out on our website tooplost dot com,
because, like Doug said, it's so much more than just a white
lost product. I mean, we're not talking about a quick, fake side
product. There are no drugs. There are no stimulants. Are number one
agree as collagen protein. It's got types one in three. That's for the

fun Calitrin at toploss dot com thanks to Elizabeth Miller here one of the great
Calitrin consultants at toploss dot com. Here on tap is Nick Miles from our
autoexpert dot com. That's his website. You can go there and find places
information on best new car deals, used car deals, all kinds of things
connected. And I suppose we start with the strike and what that is impacting
and what happens if there are supposedly today various decisions they're supposed to be made
as to whether they'll shut down more plants because they're not getting the forty percent
raise. And I can't imagine the universe in which they would get a forty
percent raise over four years. Can you ten percent a year? I don't
see that happening. It's a lot, isn't it. I mean that would
put them at a higher rate than the national average to get way twice Yeah,
yeah, exactly, Yeah, but they have you know, it's difficult
because they did see a lot of these car companies through the difficult times,
and they took bigger cuts than a lot of American workers. And they the
weather, the storm, and so they did take a bigger hit and now
they're asking to sort of be put back right, but they're asking for a
lot more. So did they take a bigger hit than the average American worker?
And now they're asking to be set right? But I'm asking for too
much. I think most people are Yeah, but I think they're not.
People are not feeling it's once again these union it's the leaders, not so
much the membership and the way that they present things. It's kind of an
arrogance attached to it. So that's the impact that the strike is having,
at least at the moment. And with the shutting down, I think you
said there's fifty similar days of supply depending on the manufacturer and the model.
I suppose as much as anything else. So well, this what if this
goes on, it'll be COVID Part two. In terms of used cars,
everybody that can't find a new car, they want a late model used car.
And so what are the are there things that are you're looking at trends?
Prices going up? Are there any good deals on used cars? What
are you seeing? Yeah? I mean interest rates are there for those slightly
used I I like to call them nicely looked after years cars with low mileage
the interest rates. You can get about five percent interest rates for slightly used
cars. Those vehicles are approximately five percent interest rates across the boards you're seeing.
You get those mostly from credit unions that are attached to credit. Yeah.
Absolutely, and they're pre certified vehicles. Those vehicles you'll find from companies
like BMW, from Mercedes, from a lot of the American car companies,
and they have a good interest rate there for those pre certified cars. You
want to look for that pre certified seal when you go in there because that
interesting nick. There are a lot of people who have tried they get financing.
It was for a while you couldn't get financing. You can't. The
question was on whether you get least a used car, and you can't.
You can buy them and they'll finance it for you, but you can't get
at least And I always wondered why that was. You know, why wouldn't
why can't you you're just lea a used car? Yeah, because with the
leasing situation, the car has a known value, but with a used car,
it doesn't have a known value. And so that's the difficulty with it.
With a used car, that value is kind of in question. Where
people like alg they'll put a value on a brand new car, but they
won't do that on a used car because you never know quite how it was
used. Right used with a new car, it has a value and it
has a depreciation value. So if it's pre certified, you'll get a good
interest rate on it, about five percent. And that's the suggestion. Find
something that is probably a twenty eighteen to twenty and twenty three and you can
get about five percent interest on that. Lincoln are doing some of those,
and you'll also find them across the board. But the pre certification is really
important. That means the manufacture of the dealership has gone through it and they've
certified it as a good buy, and you'll find some good interest rates on
those vehicles. Make sure you keep the mileage under about fifty thousand though.
All right, So what happens when you buy one of these cars and the
salesman says to you you can purchase for an extra two thousand dollars and unlimited
warranty i e. In insurance policy on the engine, the drive train and
important components to the car. Is that is that something you ought to buy
or is it something you just why don't you make the car is good enough
so they don't need insurance. That's my that's always my answer. You want
me to buy insurance? What's wrong with the car? You know, obviously
cars go bad, right, That's one of the biggest problems with those cars.
And you'll find that those guys aren't going to guarantee anything. Things do
