1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,360 The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,039 part by Keltron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,240 keep it off, and also by previlegent keeping your brain healthy. All right, 4 00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:18,000 let's do some people news people in the news. Matt Gates. Ah, 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:25,719 yes, the token troublemaker for the Republicans. Apparently he's been found out 6 00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:35,479 again escalating ethics probe and so now no, should we have a more second? 7 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,920 Wow? One there, that's not the right one? All right? 8 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,679 Anyway, you can get my drift. He's going to have so manymos and 9 00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:50,320 gadgets that you can grab one and it's the wrong one. You're like, 10 00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:54,200 oh, no, that's not the right one because you have that many all 11 00:00:54,679 --> 00:01:00,320 here, Wait a minute, that's better. Right. Yes, he is 12 00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:04,599 a jerk and apparently always has been a jerk and probably always will be a 13 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:11,120 jerk. So the House Ethics Committee, remember this is the House Ethics committees 14 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,760 run by the Republicans. So when the Republicans go after one of their own, 15 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,319 and they went after Santos, so they're went after Gates. So can 16 00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:26,519 the Republicans? Would they be vulnerable to the Democrats saying, oh, look 17 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:33,040 at those Republicans, how unethical they are. I don't think that that's necessarily 18 00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:36,359 the case. I think there've been over the years, though, I think 19 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,519 there have been. I can remember back to when I was doing a much 20 00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:46,040 more political program, how there was always a Republican who was getting caught with 21 00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:52,519 a woman that he wasn't supposed to be with right or in some compromising situation 22 00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:57,159 that always had to do with sex. Does something more of a politician thing 23 00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:01,719 than a specific party thing. Yeah, but there have been more Republicans of 24 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,799 these. If you chase that, if you want to go into your mister 25 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,159 Google bought there and see, that's really not the point of the conversation. 26 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,120 Gates is just an embarrassment to himself. How'd you like I don't know. 27 00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:17,680 I don't think he's married, But how'd you like to be one of his 28 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:27,719 children or be his mother or father? They are I have my Thursday morning 29 00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:32,919 whatever stuff in my throat? How'd you This committee is re examining allegations. 30 00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:39,680 He's, you know, the division member, he's the one who got rid 31 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:46,000 of McCarthy and now they're all thinking of maybe we shouldn't have gettenrid of McCarthy. 32 00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:51,240 Yeah, that stuff. And I don't know where he is when he 33 00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:53,520 comes to Trump. I'm guessing he's probably a Trumper, right is he? 34 00:02:54,319 --> 00:03:01,080 You know, I'm not sure about I don't know. I think he is, 35 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,879 all right, Sonyhow do I want to spend a lot of time on 36 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,039 this? No, but the seventeen year old and he paid to travel with 37 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,560 him. That certainly is something being investigated. There are other things that have 38 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:22,840 to do with sex trafficking allegations. I should say that for later on when 39 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:25,439 we have that as a focus, all right. Some other people in the 40 00:03:25,479 --> 00:03:32,439 news Kate Middleton, she's having surgery, but according to the people who were 41 00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:38,759 taking care of her, she had abdominal surgery. They have confidence she's resilient. 42 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,800 It sounded kind of serious though, Yeah, some people that are close 43 00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:46,800 to her said that it seems a little bit more serious. It sounds a 44 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,879 little bit serious, just based on the time for recovery. She has to 45 00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:54,919 spend like, I think nearly a week, a little over a week or 46 00:03:54,919 --> 00:04:00,080 two weeks in the hospital and then more weeks outside of the hospital. And 47 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,719 this wasn't just some emergency surgery. This was a planned surgery of sorts. 48 00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:11,919 But nobody but nobody's yeah, yeah, because the real the reality of that, 49 00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:15,000 that's a private situation. It's not their news to tell, you know. 50 00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:20,879 I'm just thinking about my older sister when she was in her forties, 51 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:27,639 had a cyst that was the size of her grapefruit. It was not cancerous, 52 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,480 it was removed, and it took her a couple of weeks to even 53 00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:35,040 be able to walk again. And that kind of surgery is yeah, oh 54 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,920 yeah. You know, you wonder what they based on the location? Yeah, 55 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,720 right, it was in her uterus, so that's abdominal, right. 56 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,839 Yeah. Yeah. When I was a teen, I had an ovarian cyst 57 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,079 and an appodectomy at the same time of the same surgery. Yeah, and 58 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,160 I was sent home the following day. Wow, you're a big tough guy. 59 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,480 Yeah. They kicked me out. They were like, okay, now, 60 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,240 just go recover at home. Same with my C section with mac he 61 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:12,360 was born on a Thursday. I was home by Saturday late morning. You 62 00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:16,240 know. Speaking of that, there are some real problems in hospitals around the 63 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,079 country. A couple of issues. One of them is blood. Please, 64 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,480 if you can give some boo, I'm gonna go give blood today. As 65 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,319 a matter of fact, the blood shortage is a big problem. And also 66 00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:32,600 the number of beds. For example, one of the most famous hospitals in 67 00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:38,639 the world is here in Boston, mass General. They have no beds, 68 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,439 zero beds. And one of the problems with that, and I wonder if 69 00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:45,199 it's happening. You have the Cleveland Clinic there, you have a lot of 70 00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:48,680 good medicine. A friend of mine bringing your husband to the Mayo clinic this 71 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,920 next week. And there are places those are probably the two best known other 72 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:01,480 than maybe in Los Angeles Cedar Sinai and a good hospital, but they're all 73 00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:08,519 filled up. And the reason for that, in part is that the regional 74 00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:14,000 or local hospitals. For example, my hometown of Framingham where the Framingham Art 75 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,759 Study started at Framingham Union Hospital. The Fremingham Union Hospital is run by Tenant 76 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,560 Healthcare, which apparently, according to doctors that I know, is the worst 77 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:30,199 of all of these nationwide owners of hospitals. So they keep cutting services, 78 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,040 they keep cutting pay. The nurses went on strike, they're unionizing at this 79 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:40,120 hospital. But they keep turning people away at these hospitals, so they send 80 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:44,759 them into Boston. So the hospitals are all getting filled up. What do 81 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:49,199 you think of that? Is that going on in Cleveland? The last time 82 00:06:49,399 --> 00:06:55,439 I had a family member hospitalized, they it was more of an emergency room 83 00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,160 situation where before they could get into a room at the er, they they 84 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:03,399 had still had the beds lined up and everything, and then once it was 85 00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:08,240 moving, they were moving into the main part of the hospital. I think 86 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,560 they had to wait nearly a day in the day and a half before they 87 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,240 could get to bed. But other than that, I haven't experienced anybody waiting 88 00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:20,839 a significantly long time. But I feel like around here there is a hospital 89 00:07:20,839 --> 00:07:25,920 on every corner. It's like there's always there's a hospital within a two miles 90 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,800 radius. Cleveland Clinic has so many. They have the main campus down and 91 00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:32,800 they have so many other branches. You have, university hospitals, you have 92 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:39,000 there are so many, it's like Starbucks here. Wow, it's one on 93 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:45,279 every corner. The situation that we have going on here is again tenant is 94 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:48,199 the bad guy and the emergency room. For example, there was a hearing 95 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,959 before the City council leone and night that basically brought the management of the hospital 96 00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:58,920 in. The nurses came in. It was an hour and a half listening 97 00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:05,000 to people complain about services. One person waited, he came. He had 98 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,639 a I'm forgetting Now, let me think what was the issue. There was 99 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,600 some kind of an issue with he had pneumonia or something, and he came 100 00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:20,639 into the hospital coughing, and they put him in a chair and they set 101 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,839 him in a chair three hours before anybody looked at him. They put him 102 00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:30,399 on a gurney and they took his temperature and blood pressure another three hours. 103 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,759 This is in the middle of the night before anybody looked at him. There 104 00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:37,879 was one nurse on duty for a five hundred bed hospital. Can you imagine 105 00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:45,600 that in the er and then a room. They didn't have a room for 106 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,399 him, so he stayed in the He stayed in this gurney out in a 107 00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:56,200 corridor all night long before they managed to investigate. There was a doctor on 108 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:05,000 duty that gave him some prescription. His insurance was charged twenty nine thousand dollars 109 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,720 for that experience. So what do you expect people are going to say or 110 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:16,080 think about this sort of I mean, this is no way to run a 111 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,879 railroad, that's for sure. And I betted many people listening to the program 112 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,559 right now, can come up with a similar story something like that. All 113 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:31,960 right? Other people in the news Noah Roush and got Tonia Bryant, two 114 00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:39,919 people murder suspects escaping from a jail in Arkansas. Wow, they have escaped 115 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:46,639 and they're being obviously the sheriffs after him. But there's a burglary attached and 116 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:54,679 there's also a homicide attached to it. So imagine, how how can they 117 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,960 people like charged with stuff like this? How are they so unwatched or unpre 118 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,600 That's another thing like the hospital, so you know, the policing is so 119 00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:13,120 lacking. Wow. Dig Ozzy Osbourne in fact, is in the focus here 120 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,519 as we dig into some celebrity gossip news from social media. Ozzie is in 121 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,879 the top ten today because he's talking about a very fam He actually talking about 122 00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:30,159 two very famous people and he uses their name. One is contemporary and one 123 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:35,039 was around a long time ago. But he uses their names together in the 124 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,759 same sentence. Does that intrigue you? All Right? So instead of more 125 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:45,200 music from Black Sabbath, as we heard Ozzy Osbourne there, we are going 126 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:52,240 to play the music of the person he was fascinated to meet, Starstruck in 127 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,000 fact, doesn't that intrigue you? Okay, hold on, don't hold your 128 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,200 breath, because it'll be sixty seconds before you find out who he is in 129 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,759 awe. Oh had a good sentence. I handed in the preposition within let's 130 00:11:03,759 --> 00:11:07,519 see with the person with whom he is in awe, he said. Ozzy 131 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:13,000 Osborne said that he was in shock the first time he met Paul McCartney McCarty 132 00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:18,559 good doug, that's his name, to his butt, yeah, McCartney. 133 00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:22,879 So I was in awe when I met Paul McCartney. But it was a 134 00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:28,039 it was I didn't feel like it was I was meeting Jesus Christ. Osborne 135 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:33,039 says meeting Paul McCartney was like meeting Jesus Christ. I don't know how he 136 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,639 knows. Well, maybe in a past life was a member of who he 137 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,720 could have been Ozzy Osbonne could have been one of the twelve Disciples, right, 138 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,879 who knows? So then he talks about how nice he is. I 139 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:50,440 would say that as well. And when Ozzie got a Grammy, he followed 140 00:11:50,519 --> 00:11:54,960 up where they congratulations, that is McCartney did, and that was yeah yeah. 141 00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:03,279 And then his wife Sharon Osborne shared that she was dazzled when she met 142 00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:07,480 Elizabeth Taylor. Yeah, I never met Elizabeth Taylor. I would have thought 143 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,600 that had been a kind of cool thing, Right, Who have you been 144 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,080 and you met anybody, Jay that you were be dazzled by? You were 145 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,120 uh or taken? You thought it was fab that you met this. The 146 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,799 one person that I met that I don't know if you'd call it starstruck or 147 00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:28,759 not. It was country artist Martina McBride, And it was more of a 148 00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:33,600 situation of I don't know about you, dug, but I have this thing 149 00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:35,559 where if I am talking to somebody, or if I'm looking at somebody in 150 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:41,200 the eyes that has those extremely blue eyes, my brain just goes like, 151 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:45,159 ah, like there is nothing in there. I have one of my best 152 00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:46,559 friends has these blue eyes, and there all be times where she's even talking 153 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,639 and I'm like, I missed what you said. I got lost in your 154 00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:54,679 eyes. I think Martina mcride was her eyes were just so dazzling that like 155 00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:58,840 I lost on of everything. Well, looks like Ozzie lost his sense of 156 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,519 whatever meeting Paul McCartney. It's kind of a cool story. Actually, I'm 157 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:07,559 Greg, I'm sixty eight years old. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, 158 00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:11,320 major in business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. 159 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,960 Part of the reason for my motivational speaking is I kind of feel like 160 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,240 I have a calling or giving back to the younger generation. You know, 161 00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:20,600 the golden rule is do unto others, you'd have them do un to you. 162 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,879 My wife, Wanda, as a senior flight attendant, She's been flying 163 00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:28,799 for over thirty years. We do laugh quite a bit. I think most 164 00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:33,919 adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to, 165 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,600 or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. I've been 166 00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:41,919 taking Privilegen for about three years now. People say to me periodical, Man, 167 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:48,480 you got a memory like an alphib It's really really helped me tremendously provagen, 168 00:13:48,759 --> 00:13:54,200 healthier brain, better life.

The day you wake up and you're going you 172 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,879 don't want to go to work, you better go find another job. But 173 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,440 how many people, I think we said this yesterday the day before Jay, 174 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:16,879 spend their lives just waiting until it's over all right, dah my god, 175 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,279 when you have so much potential. So what options can you consider today? 176 00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:26,159 Whether it's your work, whether it's your home life, whatever it is, 177 00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:30,639 what can you do? Do you think that work life balance? Yeah, 178 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:37,080 Passion, excitement, motivation, energy. Although those words are great, I 179 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,080 think they contribute to a level of success and fulfillment that makes people's lives where 180 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,240 it's living. The old Bishop Fulton Jay Sheen. Nobody remembers him, probably 181 00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:48,240 but me. He wrote a book called and he did a radio show called 182 00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:54,559 Life is Worth Living, And it's sure as heck is more. The more 183 00:14:54,600 --> 00:15:01,799 you dedicate yourself to your tasks and to it comes to a point with some 184 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,679 that it's effortless. Right, you just automatically think about somebody else. And 185 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:13,240 here's an example of that. A teenager invented a gadget which will transform dementia 186 00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:18,919 care. And this was done because he was concerned about his grandmother. This 187 00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:28,159 youngster self confessed nerd loves robotics, loved his grandmother and so he created this 188 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:35,799 new invention that will greatly improve care for his grandmother and ultimately for Alzheimer's patients 189 00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:39,360 all around the world. This kid was twelve years old when he was out 190 00:15:39,399 --> 00:15:43,679 and about a summer of twenty eighteen, he saw his grandmother go into the 191 00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:48,720 kitchen to make tea. When she left the room, she left the gas 192 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,919 on. She couldn't remember to turn it off. So that got him to 193 00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:02,080 thinking he knew what was going on, and so his grandmother diagnosed with Alzheimer's 194 00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:06,480 I guess that year or the year before. She since has passed away, 195 00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:11,120 But he invented. This kid invented what he's called the Alpha monitor, which 196 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:18,360 is a badge like monitoring device that sends alerts if the person wearing it wanders 197 00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:25,720 off is in unfamiliar circumstances. Apparently, she used to get up early in 198 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,759 the morning go outside. She thought she was on a train. And so 199 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,440 this is a young kid, very smart, interested in his grandmother, as 200 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:40,360 I say, came up with this this device that was wearable and it's like 201 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,120 it kind of looks like a heart pace maker thing above her, only it 202 00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:49,279 relates more to your mind than it does to your heart. Yeah, And 203 00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:55,919 when he even had enough wherewithal two too, he was like, it can't 204 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,159 it can't act like a watch. It can't be like a watch, because 205 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,240 if it's uncomfortable, if it gets heavy, if it's something that people regularly 206 00:17:00,279 --> 00:17:03,919 take off, then the patient could possibly take it off. It has to 207 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,000 be something that they won't. They wouldn't barely even notice that it's on them 208 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,200 exactly. Yeah, like it capable yet in a sense. Yeah, something 209 00:17:12,279 --> 00:17:15,920 like that. All right, Well, that's a good news story. If 210 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,680 I've heard one today, that's a good one. I'm looking around at the 211 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,720 political landscape. It's gonna be hard for us to as much as I don't 212 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,759 want to, it's gonna be hard for us to escape some of this stuff. 213 00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:32,000 Jay, So we just have to live with it. I have remember 214 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,200 was it last week? The week before? I said, And I certainly 215 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,480 can't be the only one who is thinking this. The most vulnerable issue for 216 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:48,519 Republicans is birth well Roe v weighed more specifically, and the ramifications of abortion. 217 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:55,799 And then the Democrats have this immigration albatross around their necks, and they 218 00:17:55,799 --> 00:17:59,480 don't seem to be able to get out of their own way. Neither of 219 00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:03,960 these parties. That's kind of why I say they've become irrelevant. The parties 220 00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:08,279 haven't done you know, they keep talking about this, they keep we know 221 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,880 what the problem is, but what's being done nothing because they can't get out 222 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,400 of their own way because they're all too busy worried about being re elected. 223 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,640 That's it, in a nutshell. All the problems that we have in our 224 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,839 country are related to the electoral process, and to maybe that's a big statement, 225 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:33,200 but that's my feeling that the parties become so beholden to certain events, 226 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,240 certain issues, certain people, certain groups that they can't get out of their 227 00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:45,039 own way, and thus you have these gnawing problems that aren't getting they're aren't 228 00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:48,720 getting taken care of. Trump will bounce all over Biden because of the immigration 229 00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:53,440 issue. He'll point to the wall and people of both parties are going to 230 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:59,440 agree with him because it is a disaster. It's a mess, and it's 231 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,279 I think it's fairly easily fixed. But I must be in the minority. 232 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,960 But I'll tell you one thing, Jay, what I'm looking at when I 233 00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:12,839 knows around in this arena, the issues that young people are interested in. 234 00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:21,039 The young voters who have been polled so far in the youngsters who are voting 235 00:19:21,519 --> 00:19:26,160 first time voters in a presidential election and in the primaries and that sort of 236 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:32,440 thing. If you're under thirty, pretty much all of you are leaning left 237 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:38,240 of center, and you'll make a difference voting for Democrats. A lot of 238 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,640 young people under thirty, like Joe Kennedy, whether you're like, I mean, 239 00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:45,920 what's his face, Robert Kennedy, whether you like it or not, 240 00:19:47,599 --> 00:19:51,599 those people are going to have That's where the when you look at the polls, 241 00:19:52,279 --> 00:19:59,440 that's where the strength is coming from for Kennedy. He's attracting younger voters 242 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:06,440 by far more than either Biden or Trump. Trump has very very very few. 243 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,240 You can count them on your hands, people under thirty who are going 244 00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:15,240 to vote for Trump, and in the mainstay that's the same problem that Biden 245 00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:21,400 has. Kennedy doesn't have that problem because he has not he's not beholden to 246 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:27,079 the Democrats. Democrats despise him, and Republicans see him as a problem taking 247 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:33,160 votes away from Trump. So as far I'm concerned, hooray right. Think 248 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,319 about it, though, if you have children that are under thirty, do 249 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,160 you talk to them about what their political preferences are and do you listen to 250 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,799 them if they disagree with you, or do you shut him out because you 251 00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:49,880 don't want to have somebody's own opinions. Of course, the opinions off the 252 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:56,240 opinions of others. Right, Yeah, And a lot of youngsters are doing 253 00:20:56,279 --> 00:21:00,359 you know, we talk about all of the stuff with with the you know, 254 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,640 smartphones and devices and stuff, but I see a lot of these young 255 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:11,119 people who are digging around. They care deeply about social issues, especially, 256 00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:18,880 they care about the economy, they care about their job, affordable living. 257 00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:25,640 You know, there's this whole thing now floating around about the There's an article 258 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:32,559 over the weekend that are read on the plane that focus basically on the renting 259 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,640 society. That is, people who are not of all ages, who are 260 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,359 not buying homes anymore. They're renting homes they don't want to. They either 261 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,039 don't want to or they don't have the money to put into a down payment, 262 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,480 so and they don't like the interest rates on mortgages, so they'll rent 263 00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:56,119 down and the property tax will get people. And astounding is that the monthly 264 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:03,799 rental fee is typically more it's more expensive than the monthly mortgage fee. But 265 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,359 it doesn't take into account beat that down payment and the property taxes again, 266 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,839 and then if you live in an Ha, those are additional fees. It's 267 00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:19,920 a lot, yeah, exactly. Anyway, So the latest foolishness from Trump 268 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,480 is he threatened to blacklist anybody who's giving money to Haley at this point, 269 00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:30,839 so he must be worried about her, because otherwise he wouldn't pull all some 270 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,359 of the stunts that he's doing, you know, just the usual nasty stuff. 271 00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:44,799 So if you are donating to Haley, you'll be permanently barred from the 272 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,680 Magagas. Okay, all right, Donald, do your thing. Here's the 273 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:56,079 Pope speaking of people doing their thing. Jay Holocaust Remembrance Day on his mind. 274 00:22:56,599 --> 00:23:02,319 He says, this should remind the world that war can never be justified. 275 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,440 Amen to that, Pope Francis recalling the extermination of the Jews. Call 276 00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:12,599 for this is Holocaust I have remembered, I think, isn't it this week? 277 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,599 Remember that Saturday? Yeah? Okay, So anyway, he referred to 278 00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:26,160 the commemoration, which is something this year that people are concerned about because of 279 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,359 what's going on with the Israelis and Gaza and the rise in anti Semitism all 280 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,559 around the world, mostly due to the ignorance of people who don't know what's 281 00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:41,599 really going on there. The remembrance condemnation also of the extermination of all the 282 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,960 Jews. This ought to be on people's minds, and it's on the Pope's 283 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:52,039 mind obviously. Italy's Jewish community denouncing the anti Semitic sentiment in their country. 284 00:23:52,720 --> 00:24:00,559 France, same thing, the head of the Jewish community in Italy announcing that 285 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:07,759 marathons around Italy that have traditionally marked past Holocaust remembrance days have been canceled this 286 00:24:07,839 --> 00:24:11,880 year because of security concerns. Once again, here we have people that don't 287 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:18,319 have a clue that are protesting what you know, you can find certainly criticized 288 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,319 how Netanyahu's run, you know, running the war, but there's way way 289 00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:29,359 too much anti Semitism brought about mostly by ignorance. So it's great business time 290 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,960 for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off the hook and 291 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,400 people would be ordering nauseum. That's right.

Calatren at top loss dot com thanks to Elizabeth Miller here, 303 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:27,279 one of the great calatrinconsultants at top loss dot com. Focus on a 304 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:33,440 name that's trending, and this is a sort of a sad story about Melanie 305 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:40,279 Safka. For those of you who don't know who Melanie Safka, well you 306 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,079 know who she is, you just don't recognize that name. I'm going to 307 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:49,000 guarantee that most people listening when they hear the music associated with Melanie Safka will 308 00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:55,359 remember, Oh yeah, I remember her. We'll only use the first name. 309 00:25:56,079 --> 00:26:00,440 One of those people like Oprah Dolly. How many people just go by 310 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,400 their first name, right, Well, that's the story of Melanie Safka. 311 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:11,319 Nobody knew her last name was Safka. I remember interviewing her once and I 312 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,880 passed her because she went by Melanie from the beginning of her career. She 313 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:21,359 first performed at Woodstock in the sixty eight Yeah, nobody knew who she was. 314 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,680 She had a great voice. And I interviewed her when I was working 315 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,480 on a radio stage in Boston. I think it was seventy three, seventy 316 00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:30,160 four, somewhere in there, and I said to Jay off the air, 317 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,759 I maan, I fell in love with her. I could have run away 318 00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:38,759 with her, but anyway she did. She had a lot of songs lay 319 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:45,240 down. It was one of them brand new key another one she has passed 320 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:52,400 away yep at the age of seventy six, and nobody knows how she passed 321 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,279 away. But she had that look in her eye, she had that voice, 322 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:03,960 she had that aude. She was just Actually she'd gone into a studio 323 00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:07,400 earlier this month to work on her new record. She wanted to do some 324 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:14,359 covers and so the album was set. Thirty. Second album that she recorded, 325 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,279 A Secondhand Smoker, was called She has three children, and the children 326 00:27:19,319 --> 00:27:25,240 posted on Facebook yesterday, were heartbroken, but want to thank everybody, every 327 00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:27,160 one of you, for the affection that you've had for our mother and to 328 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,160 tell you that she loved all of you. She was one of the most 329 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:36,839 talented, strong and passionate women of this era, and I think that that's 330 00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:38,960 really what her music was about, and that's what I got from her when 331 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:51,599 I met her. So I don't know people like that that are so positive. 332 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,519 I think she was from down in the net where you lived.
