And November 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,839 seventh edition of the Good Day Program. I'm Doug Stephan. J Kirshner is 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:21,079 here, James Collins at the controls in our studio in Dallas. And so, 6 00:00:21,679 --> 00:00:26,239 yes, today is election day. How many of you have, even 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,239 in your scope of knowledge, made yourself aware of the issues, made yourself 8 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:37,240 aware of the candidates, made yourself aware of the problems that need your help 9 00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:42,799 being solved. That's really what elections are about, not creating more problems, 10 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,000 although sometimes the people and the things that are elected or the things that turn 11 00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:51,399 out to be positive when it comes to for example, in Ohio, you 12 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,119 are Jay, and that whole big is it? Do you think it's appropriate 13 00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:59,759 to call it the abortion debate? The abortion question? That's what a lot 14 00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:03,640 of I mean, that's what people are calling it here because it is essentially 15 00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:07,280 changing. Well why wouldn't it be, because that is what it's about. 16 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,280 Yeah, I understand, Yeah, Yeah, I just wonder if that doesn't 17 00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:18,480 put a different I spin a sort of a negative spin on it for some, 18 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,400 a negative spin on it for most people. Because the abortion discussion, 19 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:26,519 which has been going on as long as there's been a government, I guess 20 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:33,079 much as there is maybe government and religion. And then you can say, 21 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:38,560 well, consciousness, whatever it is, do you want do you mind recounting 22 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,920 what the issue is? And because we have yeah, I mean basically, 23 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,760 Ohioans are going to be voting on abortions directly. It's a constitutional amendment, 24 00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:53,879 it's Issue one, and it will establish statewide protections to the procedure. It's 25 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,280 definitely sparked a lot of rallies, has sparked a lot of protests. There's 26 00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:01,439 been conversations marked it all from being put on. What got it onto the 27 00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:07,959 ballot? Who? And if it was a group behind the effort to do 28 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,680 this or a stream of consciousness religious groups, Who's behind getting in on the 29 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,400 ballot at first place? You know, I'm not exactly sure which specific entity, 30 00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:22,680 but there were a lot of people that had been essentially all summer roaming 31 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,360 the streets getting signatures to have it on the ballot. And it wasn't even 32 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,439 saying whether or not you are going to vote for nor against. It was 33 00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:31,840 just get signatures to get it on the ballot. And there was the special 34 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:38,879 election in August, which was whether or not fifty percent major or yeah, 35 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,000 fifty one percent majority rules or if it had was going to change were more 36 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,439 of a majority of a majority would roll, which gave less people kind of 37 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:52,120 more power if they voted one way or the other, they could stop something. 38 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,400 But it was also opposite. So if you voted yes in August, 39 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,080 you're likely going to vote no. Now you voted no in August, you're 40 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:02,520 likely going to vote yes, And so then there was some confus Yet, 41 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,680 so then there was some confusion of like, well, however people voted before, 42 00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:08,479 is that going to be the same way they vote because they don't understand 43 00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:13,199 that now it's a little bit flipped. Well, there are a lot of 44 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,000 local communities that have municipal elections. My community of framing Him, Mass has 45 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:25,400 a slate of contested races city council, school committee, library trustee, cemetery 46 00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:30,400 trustee, and I dare say that that's probably what's going on in most local 47 00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:36,439 communities because a lot of communities don't like to have their local elections tied with 48 00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:42,000 the federal elections, even though more people come out to vote on federal elections 49 00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:46,240 than in regional and local elections. Do you remember what the percentage was of 50 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:52,719 people who came out during the primary or during that August pre it's the count 51 00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:55,360 I remember what For some reason, I want to say it was seventy something 52 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,240 percent. It may have been eighty something percent, but still. Yeah, 53 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,759 but it's still one of those things where it is it's not enough. Everybody 54 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,560 needs to go out and vote one way or another. There was even something 55 00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:11,520 as simple as a I think it was some school levy or some school board 56 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,800 issue in one of the neighboring towns that it lost by seventeen votes. Oh 57 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,720 wow, and they had I think maybe sixty percent of voters come out. 58 00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:29,120 That goes to show like every vote truly does count. Mm hmm, yeah, 59 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,319 well it does, and we need to be more conscious of how the 60 00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:36,680 system works. Kind of have to become a teacher of the airwaves because the 61 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:42,959 school system in this country is so badly compromised when it comes to this sort 62 00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:46,079 of thing. If they are talking about politics, it's with a sway, 63 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,199 it's with a it's with a point of view, and that's really very dangerous, 64 00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:56,480 very it's bad bad. The bad part of this is that a lot 65 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,720 of people don't know what they're voting for. They become because of that, 66 00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:05,680 they lose interest. You know, they think if they can go and vote 67 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,639 for Trump or whomever it is, that's wow, that's great, I'm gonna 68 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,519 go vote for him. But then you forget about what the real system is 69 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,720 about. And that's kind of what we need to appreciate, I think on 70 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,720 a day like today, because that's kind of our notion of democracy. We 71 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,000 are a republic, but we are This is certainly a lot different from a 72 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,240 dictatorship or a kingdom. You know, the British people who we consider to 73 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,639 be our equals, they have no rights. There's no Bill of rights, 74 00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:40,240 there's no constitution, there's no nothing. You are and you are in exist 75 00:05:40,439 --> 00:05:44,519 or in England if you didn't know it or not, at the whim of 76 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,680 the Queen or the king. That's who is in charge of what rights you 77 00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:51,160 have, how you live your life with the I mean, they have a 78 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,839 parliament, sure, and they pass rules, regulations, laws, that sort 79 00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:59,759 of thing, but it isn't the same. It's a different thing. A 80 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,360 constitutional monarchy is different than a constitution of the Republic anyway. So if you 81 00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:12,480 go back in history to seventeen eighty nine, which was the first US presidential 82 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,399 election, there was each state one by one choosing presidential elections, I mean 83 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:24,800 the electors, and then they had thirty four days to send the electors to 84 00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:28,839 the voting in the electoral College. That's where all of this nonsense with the 85 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,680 electoral college started. It wasn't nonsense then it is nonsense now as a matter 86 00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:38,839 of fact, to speak to that, there's a poll that has come out 87 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,920 Biden is behind. I was thinking about when he ran for president, he 88 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,360 ran as the electability candidate. He went through his the guy has been a 89 00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:58,839 pretty middle of the road Democrat, a moderate Democrat. So here I am 90 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,519 the boy from screen in Pennsylvania. I can be Donald Trump. Well, 91 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,240 whether he did or he didn't. There's an argument, as you know, 92 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:11,199 from those who say what they call themselves the what is the elector what is 93 00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:14,199 it? The election deniers? That's the group I think they call him, 94 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:20,959 right, So uh you look, let's fast forward to right now. There 95 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:28,399 was a poll taken by Siena College last week in the six states that are 96 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,519 likely to decide the presidency. Isn't that absurd? Think about that statement for 97 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,920 a second. In the six states that are likely to decide the presidency, 98 00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:45,279 and in those states, Trump leads Biden in five of them, Pennsylvania, 99 00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:48,800 Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Michigan. And that's enough. In those 100 00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:54,399 states. Those five states give him two hundred and seventy electoral votes. What 101 00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:00,439 a god blessed outrage. So I in Massachusetts have no say, You and 102 00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:03,240 Ohio have no say, and all the rest of the people around the country. 103 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,600 Really, you might as well stay home. See, this is why 104 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,319 people don't go to vote, because we have this damn electoral college that skews 105 00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:15,959 the way. That's why all the people who are running. Yeah, they 106 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,600 start in New Hampshire and Iowa because that's where the momentum begins. But when 107 00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:22,519 it goes, when you come right down to it, wait till it gets 108 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,279 to be time to go out and really pound the pavement. And most of 109 00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:31,960 the time will be spent in those states. And so Trump's ahead by four 110 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:37,440 points in those five states, not how he's doing in any of the rest 111 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:43,840 of the states. Those five states, so this is a striking example of 112 00:08:43,879 --> 00:08:50,559 how badly we have turned the corner into neglect. If you will, it's 113 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,840 time this whole thing was changed. One man, one vote we have we're 114 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,639 not really I have no say, and who gets elected You don't have any 115 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:05,360 say. And who gets elected in reality, you might depending on how the 116 00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:09,000 primary turned out. But I'm talking about the final election. And that's one 117 00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:15,200 of the things also that the news media twists around because they aren't doing Is 118 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,519 it their job to teach you what's going on? I don't know. I 119 00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:20,759 guess depends on your point of view. It's their job to inform you as 120 00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:24,879 to how this all works. That's why I'm telling you the story right now, 121 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,120 because I think it's my job to inform you as to how this thing 122 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,879 works. And I'm very concerned about either one of these boobs getting re elected. 123 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:39,480 Frankly, and if you spread things out and have a fair contest, 124 00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:43,600 but this isn't a fair contest. This is a bag job. And so 125 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:50,279 you see the poll deals with black voters, Hispanic voters, Democrats, Republicans, 126 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:56,120 and then the analysis when you look into why people say they voted the 127 00:09:56,159 --> 00:10:01,919 way they voted, most of them have you know, the bad news is 128 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,639 that most people think that Joe Biden is too old to be president. Interesting, 129 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,279 they don't apply in that same frashnale the Trump, which I find because 130 00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:13,679 it seems more of an elderly in mentality rather than age. Because they do, 131 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,600 they do seem like they are nowhere near the same age. But also 132 00:10:18,639 --> 00:10:22,960 look at the popular vote versus the electoral college. Five times a president has 133 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,039 been voted in when they lost the popular vote. It's not right. Not 134 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:35,919 right. In this portion of the program, we take apart some celebrity news 135 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,480 gossip, and there's a lot of focus on the trending list today on Celine 136 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:45,960 Dion. Remember what she was going through, all the things that seemed like 137 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:52,639 it could be frankly terminal. But she's appeared again, first public appearance in 138 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,840 three and a half years, and she did something that no one expected her 139 00:10:56,879 --> 00:11:03,000 to do. Seline Dion lives in Las Vegas, and so last week she 140 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:09,360 stepped out for a hockey game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Montreal Canadians, 141 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:16,320 and so she was there and for whatever the reason, people acknowledged her 142 00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:22,559 being there. And this whole thing has been very debilitating. It's called stiff 143 00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:26,840 persons syndrome. Mccagey evan heard us talk about it before. So the lady 144 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:35,720 who runs the looks to me like this person runs the stadium and she's the 145 00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:39,559 vice president of hockey communications for the Canadians. Yeah, because I mean, 146 00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:45,159 yeah, yeah, it's Montreal. So of course Leane Dion was going to 147 00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:50,080 spend some time with the hockey players and yeah, and with her stiff persons. 148 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,519 And she has good days, she has bad days. This happened to 149 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:58,200 be a particularly good day, thankfully. Yeah. And so she sang a 150 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,480 bit for the team I guess, right, for her hometown team. Yeah. 151 00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:05,720 Yeah, she's hands with the team members. Yeah right, Yeah, 152 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:11,679 so she says, I'm alive, and that's a positive thing. Obviously, 153 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,360 this probably is good for when you do stuff like this. It's probably good 154 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,799 whether she was urged to do it by somebody that wanted her to sort of 155 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,240 stretch out a little bit, because it's hard to do that. This is 156 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:30,960 a very rare neurological disease, and sadly it's not curable. And so what 157 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,759 it does is create muscle spasms. We're not talking about cramps here. We're 158 00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:41,039 talking about spasms that keep you from moving your the muscles, and of course 159 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:45,159 it'll affect your body and nervous system, your brain, your spinal cord, 160 00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:48,159 all of this stuff. And I don't know is she in a wheelchair now? 161 00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:52,039 I don't get that out of I don't believe she is. No. 162 00:12:52,840 --> 00:13:00,519 So anyway, she got out there and decided to do what one of the 163 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,279 things, trying to do everything she can to be healthy enough to perform again. 164 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:09,039 But she's canceled all of her conscience. I can't imagine what I know 165 00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:13,639 about this disease that she'll perform again, but she's at least shut her I 166 00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,879 mean, this is probably good for psychologically if she just says, well on 167 00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:20,960 this date, I'll cancel through this date and then we'll see what happens. 168 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,840 So what were you going to say, Jay? No? I agree. 169 00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:26,080 I think it's one of those things that even if she could get a few 170 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,240 notes out, that was wonderful and a special experience for all involved. Yeah. 171 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,720 Right, so anyway, good luck, hold a good thought for Celine 172 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,559 Dion. I am Robert Strickler. My wife Joyce and I have been married 173 00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:45,360 for fifty three years. Certainly one of the really important things in my life 174 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,399 our children and our grandchildren. I am essentially a writer. I've been involved 175 00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:56,559 in communications in the media. I've been an avid fly fisherman for at least 176 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,799 forty or more years. I've been taking privileging on a regular basis for at 177 00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:05,360 least eight years. For me, the greatest benefit over the years has been 178 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:11,519 that Prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly, have 179 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:18,600 a crisper ability to remember and think through things. And I enthusiastically recommend Previagen. 180 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:24,320 It has helped me an awful lot. Proviagen Healthier Brain, better life. 181 00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:28,399 Robert Strickler is a content contributor for Provagen and real user. Based on 182 00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:31,480 a clinical study of subgroups of individuals who are cognitively normal or mildly impaired. 183 00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:35,679 This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any 184 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:41,639 disease. Let's say have a little more happiness in our lives and think about 185 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:48,600 what it is that you spend your time on, where you put your effort 186 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,960 right, Think about that for a second, how you spend your days and 187 00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:58,159 do all of the things you do yield equal results. Probably the answer to 188 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,039 that is no, I'm guessing that's the I mean, that's how i'd answer 189 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:07,879 it is everything you do with your time is it is equally fulfilling. Whether 190 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:13,200 it's work, whether it's play, family time, whatever it is. You 191 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,720 have different energies. Right when you're working, you have an energy when you're 192 00:15:16,759 --> 00:15:22,480 at home taking care of your family and you having hats. Yeah, right, 193 00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:24,960 I think that's the case. And so and sometimes you're better at some 194 00:15:26,039 --> 00:15:31,000 things. We all know that some folks are better at being business people and 195 00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:35,519 they are being home bodies. But then you get down to the nitty gritty 196 00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:41,639 of you what action do you take that will get results that will make things 197 00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:45,720 better? Think about it. I mean it's hard every action. You're not 198 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:48,720 going to think this too. But when you are trying to do a project, 199 00:15:48,799 --> 00:15:52,399 for example, you have to clean the leaves, right the gutters on 200 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,360 most houses most parts of the country where there are leaves and the trees they're 201 00:15:56,399 --> 00:16:00,279 falling off and they're filling up the gutters. You see all of these ads. 202 00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:04,679 There's gonna be a lot of money in putting gutters on houses because at 203 00:16:04,759 --> 00:16:10,519 least around here there are tons of ads or different companies don't have to worry 204 00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:14,720 about getting a leaf gutter or whatever the stuff is called. You'll never have 205 00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:18,679 to take leaves out of your gutters again, like the video or the imagery 206 00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:23,080 of somebody scooping out these wet, soggy leaves with their bare hands. Right. 207 00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:29,240 Yeah, and you know what, most of those things don't work. 208 00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:33,080 I found that out. I've tried three or four of them on the gutters 209 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,360 around my house. Because if you've ever seen a picture jay, you've seen 210 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,840 a picture house. I'm surrounded by trees, these huge, big old maple 211 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,320 trees that are hundreds of years old, and they're right on top of the 212 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,279 house. So the leaves all come and we still have to clean them away. 213 00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:52,960 Anyway, that's I'm just using that as an example. The idea is 214 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:59,799 that whatever you do, hopefully you will do your best at doing whatever you're 215 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,079 doing right, being a parent, being a worker, being an athlete right 216 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,519 when you want to. If you're a competitor, you can be a competitor 217 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,240 without you know, there's some people who compete well and some people who don't 218 00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:17,920 like to lose. Right, everybody's been around those people and they get angry 219 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:25,160 when they lose. Yeah, get better. If you get better, you 220 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:27,839 just learned how to not do something. I mean, everything is an experience. 221 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,880 It's fast, yeah, for sure. Speaking of experiences, I'll never 222 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,839 forget the time one of the trips that I made to Africa being around elephants. 223 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,440 I've never really experienced anything quite like it. Right. We posted some 224 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:48,160 pictures of me when I say we, My family and I birthday visit to 225 00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:52,400 the Gentle Cow, which is a farm in Santa Claritas, the north of 226 00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:59,359 Los Angeles. Brendan and Sophie and Jasper and I went up there to talk 227 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,240 to the animal less this first time that Jasper, other than what he's seen 228 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,920 on my farm, has been around big animals and it was a great Brendan 229 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,240 wanted to do it because he thought would be a good birthday present for me, 230 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,480 and he knows his father. Yeah, I wanted to be around the 231 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,079 cows and the other animals that are there. It's a sanctuary. There are 232 00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:19,799 three or four of them around the country, and I was thinking it'd be 233 00:18:19,839 --> 00:18:22,759 neat for me on my farm to have. I have a bovine sanctuary, 234 00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:26,200 but maybe sanctuary for other things. I don't know. Well, that's down 235 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:34,160 the road. Just now bringing that into focus because going over to Africa and 236 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:41,039 a couple of Botswana is one place where I went that I saw these elephants 237 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:48,279 Zimbabwe, and so I'm looking at this overview. You know, I get 238 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,680 dangerous when I go on a trip because I read all these magazines and articles 239 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,480 and stuff, and I saw an article about what's happening to certain African elephants. 240 00:18:56,519 --> 00:19:03,119 There have been mass deaths over in a couple of these places, and 241 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:11,000 the conditions are The theory is that these herds of animals have died because they 242 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:18,079 haven't had water, and that's because there's climate change. So I started thinking 243 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,039 about, you know, how beautiful this is more about how beautiful animals are 244 00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:26,319 than how they're dying, because how they're dying is what happens. Unfortunately, 245 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:32,240 as the world changes. You can, you know, the climate change folks 246 00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:34,839 go bananas on stuff like this, and I could see why they might. 247 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,960 When you see these dead animals along the banks of rivers and stuff. There's 248 00:19:42,039 --> 00:19:47,680 nothing quite as majestic as an elephant. I mean, that's the way of 249 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,160 me playing. There's gentle giant. Oh my god, yeah, I mean 250 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,119 some of them. The bull elephants can be dangerous when they're around a herd 251 00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:03,920 of cows, but this is this is something that has gone on, and 252 00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:08,640 this there were no real signs of trauma. Trauma that's I sound like a 253 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:14,119 New England or right trauma. It's taken people three years to figure out what 254 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:21,160 caused the this death of the elephants. In the year twenty twenty, they 255 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,359 did autopsies on some of the carcasses to you know, try to figure out 256 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,720 what was going on because again the original one there is no thought was they 257 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:37,240 didn't have water or the water was contaminated, and so you know there was 258 00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:42,200 And then there's always the intentional poisoning of animals, the poaching and those people 259 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:48,599 when you if you ever see these pictures of these these no good sobs who 260 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:55,880 shoot an animal trophy animals, Oh my god, shoot those guys. But 261 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:02,759 I'm pasture and let the animals do the work. Yeah, have a invite 262 00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:06,519 a few lions and tigers to the scene. I see how they make out. 263 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,559 I just don't can. I don't condone hunting. I think it's an 264 00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:18,400 awful thing. Anyway. So these were bacterial deaths. There was bacteria in 265 00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:22,839 the water and that caused blood poisoning. And they all drank out of the 266 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,680 same pool and so that's why they all died as fast as they did as 267 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,400 a bacteria. It's kind of it wasn't like COVID, but it was in 268 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,279 a sense, and it was at the same time that COVID started. So 269 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,839 the question came up about yeah, exactly, they got the same sort of 270 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,400 thing floating around. There's not you know, we think it's when we have, 271 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,279 you know, a plague. Go back to the to the Middle Ages 272 00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:56,240 and plagues that took place there. The reports are always about people, but 273 00:21:56,279 --> 00:22:00,400 there were there was a plague that killed millions and millions of sickens, and 274 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:06,519 there was another plague that killed what they call mad cow disease. Thousands and 275 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,359 thousands of cows died from this virus. And you can go through the history 276 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:17,440 of the animal kingdom the same. We're animals, so we again think it's 277 00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:21,039 all us, but it isn't. These things are around. The reason I 278 00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:23,400 told you the story is because I wanted us all the think in terms of 279 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:29,680 the entire population of the planet, not just the human population of the planet, 280 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,240 because all of these things. I guess maybe I was thinking about it. 281 00:22:33,279 --> 00:22:36,319 I saw this. My children all got COVID while I was there, 282 00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:40,680 and I'm thinking, Okay, what the hell's going on here? And Megan 283 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,079 says to me, Dad, don't worry. You don't get it, You'll 284 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,039 never get it. And I haven't had it, thankfully, but they were 285 00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:51,519 all, you know, we had a birthday celebration planned and we had to 286 00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:56,200 cancel it because of them getting COVID. And it wasn't a serious case, 287 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,640 but it still is there and it makes people uncomfortable, and it's the words 288 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,720 that are used. Miles and I went out and did something on our own. 289 00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:07,799 He didn't get it when this isn't even the first time you've been around 290 00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:11,559 somebody who was diagnosed with COVID. So if you do not get it, 291 00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:15,720 like I think, they need to study your blood because maybe you have the 292 00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:21,079 better vaccine in your blood you are truly immune. You know, It's interesting. 293 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,279 Jack Stockwhall will visit with us later on in the hour. He and 294 00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:29,920 I were talking about this yesterday because I have there's something going on in my 295 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,160 body that isn't I don't feel quite right, and I'm pretty focused and conscious 296 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,599 of what it is. And you know, he goes back to the same 297 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:44,480 thing as we you know, the obvious example of what's going on is Robert 298 00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:49,240 F. Kennedy Junior in his voice, which he claims changed after he got 299 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,039 his shot. He was allergic to some of the stuff. And I don't 300 00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:56,160 think any of us know there are some little things going on with me that 301 00:23:56,279 --> 00:24:00,680 may or may not be Jack still suggest are alluded to the fact that one 302 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,920 of the things I'm going through is maybe a result of having those shots. 303 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,160 Who knows. At this point, I just don't recommend. I don't think 304 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,519 the shots that are around now. I think the shots that are around now, 305 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,160 the way they're being marketed, basically it's a scare tactic. I think 306 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,480 that we you know, we've a lot of people have had flu shots over 307 00:24:21,519 --> 00:24:25,599 the years. If they get a combo flu shot that you know is reliable, 308 00:24:25,599 --> 00:24:29,519 the flu shots are usually reliable in their content. Whether they actually do 309 00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:34,240 anything or not, I don't know. I think sometimes the spirit mind body 310 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,440 connection is so strong that we can after we get a shot. Let's just 311 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,839 say the placebo effect. Okay, you get a shot and there's nothing in 312 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,680 it, but yet you've got it in your system and you think, okay, 313 00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:49,839 I'm all set, and it's your mind that tells your body that you're 314 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,240 all set. Not your body that tells your body that you're all set. 315 00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:57,319 Does that make sense? Oh? Absolutely, think about it. Yeah. 316 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:07,440 Yeah. So reason I bring up the African elephants is because I think that 317 00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:11,200 they are an example of that. I went through a bunch of others that 318 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:17,319 can get the viruses, A different kinds of viruses affect them. But the 319 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:22,319 planet is loaded with bacteria and viruses. And there are those people who joke 320 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:30,480 saying that after the human after we kill ourselves off, which seems more likely 321 00:25:30,559 --> 00:25:33,920 than not. Frankly, given the state status of things, I don't think 322 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,440 it's around the corner, but down the road. With all the people on 323 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,759 this planet, the hell are they going to survive if you just keep growing 324 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,599 the numbers as they are Anyway, I don't mean to be a pessimist, 325 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,079 but I think that after humans are off the planet, because I mean, 326 00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:51,160 look, go back through the history of the planet. There are plenty of 327 00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:57,880 other beings or objects or things that have kind of quote unquote controlled the planet. 328 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,880 And there are a lot of people's scientists who say the bugs will inherit 329 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,160 the earth. So not as the Bible says the meek will inherit the earth, 330 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,880 the bugs will inherit the Earth. So it's great business time for Caldron. 331 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,480 I would think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people would 332 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,839 be ordering nauseum. That's right.

Karen Engberg, Brenda, 367 00:28:57,839 --> 00:29:03,119 Joslyn, Cheryl. I'm just looking at some of this stuff. Here's 368 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,200 a Cheryl who said every word it I miss not hearing you yesterday, but 369 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:14,599 that's because I wasn't there anyway, Wnri down and one soccer rode on one 370 00:29:14,599 --> 00:29:18,839 of the first places my voice has been on that radio station. Good heavens, 371 00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:25,519 can you imagine like fifty almost sixty years that's really that may be that's 372 00:29:25,559 --> 00:29:29,279 the longevity point, right, be on the same station. Yeah, one 373 00:29:29,319 --> 00:29:33,880 of the first places I worked as a kid. All right, let's talk 374 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:40,079 about other things from the world of technology social media. Focusing on this new 375 00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:47,319 robot that seems to be human like and it is useful. It's kind of 376 00:29:47,319 --> 00:29:52,160 an engineering dream, kind of out of a science fiction book. In a 377 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:59,640 manner of speaking, the wave of investments in the quest to build a humanoid 378 00:30:00,319 --> 00:30:06,119 like is it like three CPO? Does that come into your mind when you 379 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,240 look at some of these things that have been built, or they're trying to 380 00:30:10,279 --> 00:30:14,480 build a robot that looks like a person, sounds like a person, acts 381 00:30:14,559 --> 00:30:18,839 like a person, they always think of the Will Smith movie I Robot and 382 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:25,480 the Chief Engineer they're the chief robotics officer at Agility Robotics even says they're not 383 00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:32,319 necessarily it was never necessarily the goal to create robots that were looking like people. 384 00:30:32,839 --> 00:30:36,200 But they more so wanted to make robots that could operate in human spaces. 385 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:41,279 But why why do a neyed that? Thank you for asking. That's 386 00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:45,559 a good question, because some people will use them. You know, it 387 00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:51,559 depends on how they're marketed as much as anything else. We all know that 388 00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:57,400 the a lot of the industrial world now has robots performing tasks that humans used 389 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:03,000 to do. Best example of that is the automobile industry, but there are 390 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,400 others, for example, the drug industry. The mixing you know, you 391 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,119 think the stuff that goes into the pill. That's why every once in whted 392 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,680 to get a recall because the robots that are mixing the stuff and putting it 393 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,960 together. In those little pills, they get kind of lost, right, 394 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,079 so they want these machines that are better, I was gonna say, trained, 395 00:31:26,319 --> 00:31:32,519 better, built, right to do the job with a kind of like 396 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,319 thinking about it, which is that kind of is where you go bananas with 397 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:41,880 me. Huh's a human that thinks.
