in part by KELLATRN, which is the safe way for you to lose weight
and keep it off, and also by privileging keeping your brain healthy. Let's
looking into today being flag day, and how excuse me, lag All right,
there we go, thank you. The stuff in the air. And
I was in New York yesterday and there still is this leftover whatever. It's
not a haze. I was walking around in Brooklyn for most of the day
with my son and my grandson, and the amount of haze certainly not what
it was last week, but certainly it still kind of feels like and the
stuff on cars, the the it's just the you know, you can run
your hands over it and look at your hands. Hey, what in the
world all that stuff? Because there's all these things in the air, and
we're breathing that stuff. I see, that's why it causes such a problem.
And then, you know, so we're worried. We tend to not
look at those things we're looking at. If I saw one more thing yesterday.
Trump indictment live updates. Trump ender is not guilty plea. The Special
counsel looking on there's nothing here that really is different in the over on the
big picture. And so when you look more into the handling of the classified
document stuff and his denial of these thirty seven counts, thirty one of them
willful retention of national defense information, why did he have? What is there
about this stuff? Was there something in it the nuclear stuff that could be
sold as somebody that's the implication. I don't think he would do that.
I don't see that him. I don't see him doing what Biden. You
would have to ask the question, how would it benefit him? Because he
definitely wants to benefit himself and I don't see that there being any benefit for
him. Yeah, I don't either, No, frankly, I don't.
But that doesn't change the construct of the argument that he did what he did.
And so you know, that's kind of that's where you go. You
go to almost no place out of all of that stuff, because it doesn't
seem to you don't you don't understand what the what the motivation is from his
perspective as to why he did it. Now in that in terms of whether
he could go to jail, looks to me like he could if depending on
how all this stuff shakes out. Will he go to jail, Will he
be tried and convicted if that's the case when he goes to jail before he
becomes president, if he was to run, he is running. So if
he gets enough support, are enough people going to I see more and more
people who were strong supporters of his just falling off and looking around at who
else is there? And when I hear and see people who focus on on
the santis, I find him to be disgusting. The more I listened to
him, the more I watch him, And what an opportunist he is?
What is he? Who's he? Who's he speaking for? I saw I
was interesting Jay that the granddaughter of Roy Disney, Walt's brother who was one
of the founders of the Disney Empire. She's been all over the place because
of the demonstrations that were held over the weekend near Walt Disney World in Florida,
where a very small group of people gathered got together with Nazi flags and
messaging and support of descendis. So what is there? It's not okay,
It's not okay anywhere, never mind America. So it's no place. And
so this young lady Abigail Disney says, my grandfather's spinning in his grave.
And so I guess that there were about fifteen or twenty people that were demonstrating
near the park. So that's then there, and there were counter protesters,
and there was that. It was the same kind of a circus as they
had yesterday in Miami, more people. But the hate speech, and let's
face it, you can a lot of people have overused that term when applying
it to some of the things that have been said about people who were minorities.
We would name it, we go across the board. But the Nazi
stuff, there's no place for it anywhere. Yes, And so the fact
that they showed up with that, I mean, what did De Santa say
about it? Did he say, I don't have this isn't identified with me.
I have nothing to do whether I ambhore or these. Did he say
anything like that? I didn't see anything. It didn't seem like say anything,
did he? So, uh, that is I just don't. I've
never bought him, you know you for listening to me talk about him.
There's nothing about him that I find appealing. Nothing z Row. So where
do we go from there? Um? But if you are a bigot.
Maybe you like the guy, because that's where I think. I don't think
that's one of the things I don't see or feel or he'll hear that from
the Trump. I just don't sense the Trump is that that's not his problem.
Um has he been as he focused on equality? Nah, because I
don't think it's kind of like agriculture. It's not important to him. That
isn't what's what's important to him. Well, maybe that's a question what is
important to him. You can say he loves America. A lot of people
love America. Well that running for president they should Yeah, right, exactly.
And that brings us back around to today being Flag Day. In seventeen
seventy four, the first Continental Congress was called was set up because of the
growing tension between the Brits and the Americans. So the second Continal crunk and
then that was in seventeen seventy were the next year, seventy five, there
was a second Continental Congress. After the aggression in Massachusetts, the all of
Branch Petitioners it was called, was sent to King George as a final attempt
to prevent a war. And then we see the next year when Georgie the
Wash was appointed the head of the Army. Declaration of Independence drafted by Jefferson
and others in Congress, some of whom did not sign the the You know,
a lot of people think all the people that worked on it signed it.
No, most of the people who signed it didn't work on it and
didn't even know what was in it. What does that fast forward to today?
All these legislators that vote on stuff, they don't know what they're voting
on. Somebody told them I vote this way or vote that way. But
the same was true with the Continental Congress. Most of those people that signed
that document didn't have a clue. Even though the after impact of it,
when the British went after all those people, some of them they killed,
some of them they you know, they put in jail. Some of them
were able to survive. But that was the That's one of the other things
people don't understand or don't know about. To be anything that's complicated. People
don't want to think. They think their way through. George. Where was
George Mason? I was down there for a wedding last month at his property
in Virginia, and I read a lot of things about it. He was
one of the main framers of the Constitution, and he never signed it because
he was a slave owner, didn't believe in the slave trade. Kind of
like Jefferson, kind of like Washington. They were all slave owners. Some
of them were traders, not traders with I, but traders with me.
But the whole idea of that being the secondary thing these people one of the
things that didn't know unless you really read through the Constitution or if you understood
the stuff behind the scenes it was going on. It wasn't just about King
George. It was also about slavery and that thing seventy It took from seventeen
the seventeen zactly seventeen Siga or even you can go back to when the first
slaves were brought over here in the sixteen hundreds. So that festered for two
hundred years before it erupted in the Civil War. And it still is a
problem today. Come on, you know it as well as I do.
There's plenty of stuff. And this is what gives the Black Lives Matter people
their reason for being because we still have a lot of bigots, people who
don't like black people because of the color of their skin, and you still
see it affecting the educational opportunities, they have their job stuff. So you
give fodder to the people some of the arrogance of the people who are involved
in the Black Lives Matter movement. You've created that you collectively, we have
collectively because of our insecurity. See, that's what it is. Anybody who's
a bigot, like some of these folks that are prominent, they do so
out of fear. Fear based thinking is never right. You never make the
right decisions. And when you make a decision based on fear and people are
afraid of those who are different. Now, is there a good reason for
it with some Yeah, I guess there is. Where you start to say,
no, I'm just going to say, it's learned behavior. Little yads
do not hate people based on different things. It's entirely a learned behavior.
Yeah, all right, So back to Flag Day. This is my third
attempt at keep I'm going off on a tangent here because there's so much involved
in background, and then flash forwarding to Flag Day today. But in seventeen
seventy seven, the Flag Act was actually put into place by the Second Continental
Congress, and then other Flag Acts followed over the next twenty thirty years.
Brought changes in the design of the flag. Was about the thirteen original stars
and stripes, and then the first observance of Flag Day credited to George Morris,
and that wasn't until after the Civil War. The first well known observance
of Flag Day was in actually not till eighteen eighty five, when a guy
named Bernard si Grand organized a formal observance of Flag Day at a school in
Wisconsin. And so then there were people who said, well, he's the
father of Flag Day, so let's make him, you know, he's sort
of the star of the show. President Roosevelt in nineteen forty two held the
first United Flag Day to strengthen ties between the Allied forces, that is,
to recognize the flags of our allies as well as our own. So this
is National Flag Week, and this is Flag Day. And there are a
lot of places where there are parades. It was a parade yesterday, No,
it was Sunday in my hometown, which I didn't participating because I wasn't
here. But there were a lot of people who have rallied behind the flag.
The flag is a symbol, it's a symbol of thought. Now there
are a lot of people who you know, the Nazi flag that we were
talking about earlier on and then the business of the Confederate flag, which really
isn't the ConFlat That's another thing that bugs me. People who waived that flag
around, who think it's the Confederate flag. That's the height of arrogance and
ignorance because it isn't and wasn't. I would dare say that most people wouldn't
recognize the flag of the Confederacy if they saw it. What you see is
the flag I think it's from. It was the West Virginia, Virginia flags.
I'm I can't remember which state it was, but that's what most people
identify as the Confederate flag. It's not. So once again, little things
become bigger things and then they become really big things. And it's based on
lack of knowledge and information. So how much of that is a part of
our everyday thinking. I guess that's kind of where I am at this point.
I want to I must feel like having a hot dog, right,
I don't like hot dogs, but I feel like having a hot dog.
Omaha Steaks dot Com don't forget into the code thirty dug and to get this
great bargain for your father from Father's Day. That's Omaha steaks dot com.
You still have time. The code is thirty DUG. Thank you to Jay
and to Jenjen who here yesterday in my stead as I took the day to
be a chauffeur for my son and actually, to be honest, my son
did the driving. He did the driving. I was in the back seat
with Jasper and we both took a nap. Yeah, he was my mover.
So anyway, that was a nice day. Apparently it's good to have
you guys. But once in a while. I don't know, there's not
too much of this in my future because I really have to get into the
into the farming here. We're behind and I got to get a lot of
stuff done, so I probably won't take advantage of the two of you for
a while again. But it's nice to be able to have that. And
so as I look around to what happened in the last twenty four hours and
things that I want to bring to you, like the Britney Spears thing.
Apparently the two of the Brittany and her former husband Kevin Federline are speaking out
because there has been a rumor. Here we go again from the damn social
media that she has been using Britney has been using meth, and they both
say she is not on drugs. But where did this report come from?
The Daily Mail saying that it spoke with Federal Line about his concerns that she
was using drugs. He said, did he really say I fear she's on
meth? Or is that something that was made up by some reporter or the
Daily Mail? If the two of them say, which are they together on
this or a Federal Line trying to do something about what's going on with the
children? I'm trying to piece this all together. Apparently a Spear's attorney went
after the Daily Mail for the reports that she's using crystal meth. So is
she or isn't she? This is a story that is indicative of the same
thing we've been talking about with regard to Trump, the rumors that become fact
because nobody seems to corroborate the rumors or for whatever the reason, anybody who
runs to TMZ or anybody who says they have a report and they want to
sell it. Most of the time that stuff not always, but most of
the time that stuff is questionable in terms of veracity. So Jay in this
circumstance, where is the truth? Well, they're the fact, especially when
it comes to The Daily Mail more than anything, because they've gotten in trouble
just following another without doing a lot of yes research. So when it comes
to this documentary, filmmaker Daphne Barrick went to The Daily Mail saying that Kevin
Federline and Brittany and his oldest son Sean Preston, who's seventeen, were concerned
about Britney doing math and allegedly Federline told this woman that he has been praying
that someone makes a public and she wakes up. It's terrifying. She's the
mother of his boys. All of these things, well he's saying he never
said that, his son never said that. These allegations are hurtful. And
Brittany and Kevin Federally, they are standing strong in the United Front against us.
So it's all about making money. And that's exactly because Brittany sounds yeah
right, exactly. Okay, some good news here, Jay. Inflation has
dropped significantly in the past month. In fact, inflation is returning too close
to normal levels. It's amazing how it goes up and goes down. It
is at four percent compared to it being eight percent a year ago. In
fact, it has dropped more than expected, and so with that comes the
hope that the FED won't have to do anymore. Some people say, well,
the FED has done its job, and I say, yep, it
has. Perhaps under the circumstances, what would it have taken to just have
it do find its own Ground's kind of like what I say regarding business in
general and not having the government involved. For example, in farming, the
government decides what you're going to pay for a bottle of milk by what it
pays the farmers, which is not enough to keep them producing good quality milk.
That's just one example of probably ten million I could come up with.
The government has gotten involved in so many things that it ought not to unless
we've decided that we don't want to have a free market economy. If that's
the case, then okay, the government should control everything, and we might
as well move to China or let them come over here, because socialism reigns,
socialism becomes communism, and you know, it's not a huge stretch from
there. So anyway, go back to the reality of where we are with
consumer prices, The FED says that we need to have inflation at two percent.
Well over, let's see, going back, I'm trying to go.
It went up when George Bush the sun decided to go into Iraq. That's
when inflation really went haywire. I mean, there have been times before Jimmy
Carter was president and people blame it on him. It's not Blaming doesn't fix
anything because you don't really get to the heart of the matter, the root
of the mirror. It was Jimmy Carter and his administration that made decisions that
weren't good for the economy, and that some of them were political decisions,
some of them were economic decisions, some of them were legal decisions. But
there were a bunch of decisions that were made that were wrong. And so
that has been the cases we go along. We're dealing with human judgment and
it certainly is not flawless. So people make decisions, and some of the
conditions that bring people around and making decisions are their facts are flawed. And
I mean, you go through all this stuff, the bottom line is high
interest rates are not good for any business. They're not good for the economy,
they're not good for the nation. They're not good for the world.
Three of the nation's thirty largest banks failed in the past six months. That's
not good, but it was as many people. I was talking to the
fellow fellow as a great friend of mine on the phone yesterday for about an
hour driving back from New York. A guy, excuse me, who was
very involved in my tenure at the mayam Mamater Heidelberg. He was the vice
president and he went on become the president of a college in Pennsylvania. It's
not a great job. There has been there eleven years. It looks like
he's going to stay. But he's also on the board of directors of a
bank, as who were talking about where all of the interest rate stuff goes
and where the money is, and I was bemoaning the fact that my local
bank, which is about the same size as the bank he's on the board
for, has problems getting enough liquidity though loan people money, people who they
have promised to loan money too, but they're not doing it because they don't
have They're not secure in feeling that they have enough funds at their disposal,
mostly because of what the Fed has done. And frankly, what the government
has done is creates this whole business to begin with. And that's what a
lot of people because there's a lack of understanding. Hell, kids getting out
of school don't even they don't even know what a check board is. Never
mind how you know, in the old days, we used to say,
do you know how to balance a checkbook? Well? Most people do that
ach stuff? Are they transfer? And it's easy. Yeah, there's a
online but who keeps track of it? You keep track of it. Yeah
you can with that, so you can still it's like it's just balancing your
check book in a different way. But there's just with so many availabilities of
paying in online avenues, you it's very seldom that you need to write a
check, and if you do, and it's a one time thing, you
can go get a bank check. I like writing checks. I still write
checks if people do. I used to Jennifer step well everybody used to have.
Victoria had. She was hysterical with the check stuff because she said I
was the only one who ever said her a check. Okay, Well that's
a thing with your generation. Okay, that's fine if you want to do
it that way. Swell, I don't want to do it that way,
and I don't like being cowed or pushed into Oh, it's like it's kind
of like I sent you a text to ten minutes ago. I'll come.
You didn't respond because I don't have my phone. I don't want to have
my phone. That is such a pet peeve of mine too. I don't
even even if because I do text, I actually prefer text. But I
am not readily available, and I don't expect anybody else to be readily available
at anything a moment, because we are all very busy. We were all
doing things, and sometimes people can't if we're already focused on one thing,
we can't take a break to go do something else. We need to finish
the current task at hand, and then we will circle back. One of
my biggest pet peeves is when someone wants to talk to me on the phone,
but they send me a text message and say, hey, call me
when you have a second just call me. You need to talk to me,
just call me. If I'm not available, I'll call you back.
If I am available, I will answer the phone. Don't call me,
call me. I want to go back to what we were talking about.
For those of you who didn't hear for the last half hour of a Good
Day Show. Go to good dayshow dot com and check out what we were
saying with regard to social media and people with Donald Trump, what about him
and him being polarized and all the stuff that excuse me is connected to his
day in court if you want to call it that. That's you know,
we have a lot of tools here for you to listen to what we're talking
about, to stimulate you to think for yourself. As a matter of fact,
on one of the recent Good Day downloads, we were talking about some
pranks at high schools and and you know things that are this is this guy
that was the pastor accused of filming girls in church showers. Huh. Anyway,
Good dayshow dot com, social media, Facebook and Instagram at Good Day
Radio Show, Twitter at Good Day on Air and get the podcast the download
if you will wherever you get your podcasts. And so anyway, and back
to what we were saying, there was a fellow center rather a lengthy response
to the question that Jay asked online about Trump and what is there about him
that's so appealing or appalling. So this fellow Sam Wells, we were quoting
all the things that he was saying and thinking and his kind of his conclusion
is that his enemies are my enemies. I don't get how you come to
that conclusion, but I get that that's what you think. So then there
was a lady you pronounced their name better than I did. Yes, and
in a way agreed with Sam saying, yes, Biden supporters maybe our enemies
as well. But our country is being destroyed enemies. That's something everybody can
agree. Yeah, yeah, we have a lot of in a self destruct
mode. But there are a lot of people who maintain we've been at a
self destruct mode since we were started and became officially a country in seventeen seventy
six. And I gave an example of that earlier on in talking about who
actually wrote the constant, the Declaration of Independence and thus and then the following
constitution, whether people who voted on it ever even knew what was in it.
My suspicion is from what I've learned in my own political science studies when
I was in college and since then, that a lot of it is the
same as today. Those guys don't read the bill. They rely on somebody
in a committee or somebody who is the whip or to tell them what to
do. To how you know to vote unless you're very close to it.
That's why they all go along to the other Republicans one side, Democrats on
the other side. Okay, Jeff says that Donald Trump is appealing, is
very good leader for America from a business and security standpoint, appalling his verbal
comments are sometimes less than appropriate. Okay, that's an actually pretty interesting way
of looking at because he's both appealing and appalling. All right, let's see
here. Here's a lady named Yvonne who says that he is appalling. His
treatment of others nothing short of bigotry. Business stealings are just shell games for
him, how to get something for nothing. He has been accused a lot
and is it because of his personality? Well, because he's a crook.
That's something that's less clear to me. A lot of people that I know
who are in business in New York have, at the hands of Donald Trump,
had to declare bankruptcy because he's ruined a lot of small businesses because he
doesn't pay his bills. That seems to be something that has followed him across
the board. Here. Let's see here, what does Greg say He brought
issues that are significant concern to the working class to the forefront and fight for
reform, trade reformer, and grace for Yep. Okay, he did that.
Yep, he didn't show distain for average Americans like Obama clinging to guns
and bibles. Huh, I don't care. What does that mean that Greg
likes Republicans and doesn't like Democrats. So that's from the school And I don't
want to put words in your mouth, but all Democrats are not bad and
all Republicans are not good. Doesn't exactly, It doesn't work that way.
So then we get down to the nitty gritty of freedom of speech, which
is kind of what most of this is all about, and with a few
exceptions, but how do we even make exception? Either have free speech?
You don't talking about the Nazis who showed up a couple of them at the
De Santis rally, and you know there's been plenty of them that have showed
up around Trump. What do we have the right to do? What do
we not have the right to do? The Select Committee on Weaponizing of the
Federal Government is going after academics who've studied misinformation and disinformation. According to some,
the First Amendment forbids the government from passing a law telling people what they
can or can't say, or telling publishers what they can and can't publish.
And that's probably, I would shouldn't say probably. It is good. It
doesn't say that publishers have to publish all speech. It says that people can
decide what they want to publish and also can decide what they want to say.
So then the Nazi stuff, you want to shout them down. There
are people who have been on the right side of politics who've shown up on
liberal campuses, and the students on the liberal campuses shout them down. And
so is that what is that? Is that freedom of speech? I guess?
So? Is it smart? Now? It's not if you're in a
college setting and you don't want to be open to other ideas. What the
heck are you doing in college? Right? I was just supposed to learn
different points of view when you're in school, wherever you are. I'm Greg
I'm sixty eight years old, grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, major in
business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of
the reasons for my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like I have a
calling or giving back to the younger generation. You know the golden roller is
doing to others, you'd have them doing to you. My wife, Wanda,
is a senior flight attendance. She's been flying for over thirty years.
We do laugh quite a bit. I think most adults will start realizing that
they don't recall things as quickly as they used to, or they don't remember
things as vividly as they once did. I've been taking priviging for about three
years now. People say to me periodical, man, you got a memory

Garth Brooks is all over the place. He's got a new Nashville bar and
social folks some well. Garth Brooks one of the most popular entertainers in America,
if not in the world, frankly, and he's done something that's fairly
controversial, or at least it seems let's see how this is one of those
things that gets shaken and stirred. All right, So Garth Brooks has a
bar in Nashville and he said that he's going to sell bud Light in the
bar. Good for him. This controversy is not keeping him from selling bud
Light. This is from the same group or a mindset. You have to
all think the way we do, or you're wrong. We're gonna shut you
down now. Yes, and a lot of there are a lot of places
that have stopped selling bud Light over the social media partners It's affected the value
of the company by fifteen billion dollars fifteen b with a B billion. I
don't drink beer. I don't know the stuff tastes like drinking salt water as
far as I'm concerned. But this whole business about the backlash that came because
of its influence the partnership had had with Dylan mulvaney. I still don't know
anything about the guy. I just know when I see something like this and
people just jump onto the bandwagon without really knowing what the issue is. By
the way, the name of the bar is Friends in Low Places. That's
that's what it's called. Yeah, Friends in Places Bar and Honky Talk and
it's on the iconic Lower Broadway in Nashville. But a lot for everybody who
has been boycotting any place over the social media partnership with with trans influencer Dylan
mulvaney, they really did not like this. They did not like this,
and so a lot of places have stopped selling it. And why, Garth,
He's because because of the backlash and people, why is your backlash because
people don't like trans communities? Ah? Okay, So if you're a good
patriotic American and you're a Republican, then you can't like people who are trans.
Is that basically it? Well, when I first saw this on social
media, I didn't have the audio on. I only saw the video,
and I thought that she was a real housewife. I thought it was some
like one of the Real Housewife franchise people doing this, and I didn't even
know what it was about. I'm like, Okay, she's drinking beer,
what's the point? And then I started to see all of this in the
news and I went back to the video and actually turned the audio on and
I was like, oh, and it's just just one of those things.
And that's why Garth Brooks is like, look, if you have a problem
with this and you don't want to want to attend in thenglishment that's selling bud
Light, then don't. There are plenty of other places that are great places
that you will have so much fun going to. Don't feel like you have
to come here, and it's okay if you don't. Yeah, So enough
of this. The only thing where I have I'm on the people who are
concerned about ten to twelve thirteen year olds who are being told they ought to
think about their sexuality. That's where I draw the line about this other stuff.

the Pet Show, they're always great things to talk about with regard to you
and your pets. Warren and I were just talking off here about the homeless
problem in Los Angeles. It's a problem in a lot of places, but
probably not so demonstrative anywhere else other than Los Angeles. So what happens if
somebody is homeless and they have a pet, how do they have been?
One of the things when people are out on the sidewalk, when they're looking
for money and I see a dog, I kind of want to give to
help the dog. If I see somebody smoking or they've got new shoes or
something on, then I won't give them any money. But if they have
an animal, I might. Am I being played? You're not, you
know. I have several callers on my show Dog that call in from time
to time. A couple of them are homeless. They live in their their
van, or one lives in their car. One's been in their van for
five years. But I've been speaking to these people for several years and they've
tried to get other places. But the problem is you can't get a place
if you have a dog or you have cats. And they have a couple,
so they live in their van. I gotta tell you. They make
sure their dogs eat, they make sure their cats get veterinary care before they
do, and it's it's their kind of life at this point in their life.
That's what they're doing. I try to help myself listening. Can I
help you find a home, Maybe I can help you find a job,
get you and right now, their main concern is taking care of their animals,
and every time they've tried to get help in the past they would have
had to separate from their dogs or cats, and they refuse to do so.
So some of them are really legitimate reasons, you know, lost a
job, some mental issues obviously, but when it comes to caring for dogs
and cats, or their dogs and cats, they love them just as much
as you and I do. Have you followed Anthony Hopkins and his wife,
who are remarkable folks when it comes to pets. There's an organization that unites
reunites pets with the soldiers who saved them. It's called Pause of War.
And I wonder what you know about them and what Hopkins and his wife have
done to help these the reuniting if you will, the dogs. I think
there are a couple of organizations actually to do this, aren't there. Yeah,
there are several. In fact, there's organizations that actually take care of
a soldier's dog or a cat when they're deployed and then they come back and
they can get their dog or a cat. I'm not familiar with them specifically,
but it's just an amazing it's an amazing thing that they do. Is
some people. I remember just recently I read an article about a guy that
was stationed in Afghanistan and there was a dog he worked with an Afghanistan and
the dog was left there and they were recently reunited. I think it's just
the absolutely first of all, we should never leave our dogs behind when we
leave. That's number one, right off the bat. They're part of us,
they're part of our military. Take come home. But a lot of
these dogs were not trained dogs. There were just you know, puppies that
people found while they were on deployment there and they want to bring home,
and many of them half came home. It's a great idea. I don't
not familiar with Anthony Hopkins doing it, but anyone who's bringing these animals and
putting them together with their their veterans a great idea. Great. I saw
the story of a stray dog who was found and as he was found,
the person who found the dog found the dog had a huge tumor. Tumor
was larger than his head. And the dog apparently got connected to a team
of vets at Texas a and m nine year old labrador. His name is
Jake, and he was found just wandering around a Waco with this huge mass
on the side of his neck. And this group a long Way Home Adoptables
as the name of the group, took him in, found a foster home
for him, and then got the vets at Texas A and m Over in
Stephenville. I'm a great supporter of that. They have a great college there,
school of Veterinary Medicine. Doctors diagnosed the mass a tumor of his salivary
gland and it was cancerous and it had spread to his ear, but they
operated on him and I guess at the moment anyway, he's okay. But
there are some all that. There's some amazing people. I work with a
great organization. A fact, they just left America and they're working in the
southern part of Mexico. Major major problem that the dogs and don't nearly have
a shot down there, and they're living in junkyards and eating this. So
it's just a great group. And what they're doing is they're rescuing and that
just sent me a photo of a mom and a bunch of puppies. I
try to help them out when they find homes for them with any behavior issues
they may be having. But they actually this is how some people are amazing.
They actually left America. Very successful people moved to Mexico and now all
they do is rescue these dogs in southern Mexico. Just there's some amazing people
out there. You know. The big groups get the credits, send money
here, so money there. But it's a small mom and pops that really
do the work. So to go back to the actual problem this dog had,
I wonder how many people need to know about this. In Jake's case,
saliva build up because this tumor obstructed his ducks ducts. And I wonder
if that happens to other dogs that have the same kind of a problem.
Is it likely that you're going to have a problem with certain breeds that don't
don't have the ability to clean themselves out as much as you would like to
think that they do. Certain breeds have certain problems. So before you get
it, get a mixed breed. That's the best thing to do. But
if you're going to get a dog, make sure you check it out thoroughly
first. HEINZ fifty seven. I say that having a think this bulldog.
But there you got any right, Yeah, it's always great all the advice
