The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Caltron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by Previlegent keeping your brain healthy. And November
seventh edition of the Good Day Program. I'm Doug Stephan. J Kirshner is
here, James Collins at the controls in our studio in Dallas. And so,
yes, today is election day. How many of you have, even
in your scope of knowledge, made yourself aware of the issues, made yourself
aware of the candidates, made yourself aware of the problems that need your help
being solved. That's really what elections are about, not creating more problems,
although sometimes the people and the things that are elected or the things that turn
out to be positive when it comes to for example, in Ohio, you
are Jay, and that whole big is it? Do you think it's appropriate
to call it the abortion debate? The abortion question? That's what a lot
of I mean, that's what people are calling it here because it is essentially
changing. Well why wouldn't it be, because that is what it's about.
Yeah, I understand, Yeah, Yeah, I just wonder if that doesn't
put a different I spin a sort of a negative spin on it for some,
a negative spin on it for most people. Because the abortion discussion,
which has been going on as long as there's been a government, I guess
much as there is maybe government and religion. And then you can say,
well, consciousness, whatever it is, do you want do you mind recounting
what the issue is? And because we have yeah, I mean basically,
Ohioans are going to be voting on abortions directly. It's a constitutional amendment,
it's Issue one, and it will establish statewide protections to the procedure. It's
definitely sparked a lot of rallies, has sparked a lot of protests. There's
been conversations marked it all from being put on. What got it onto the
ballot? Who? And if it was a group behind the effort to do
this or a stream of consciousness religious groups, Who's behind getting in on the
ballot at first place? You know, I'm not exactly sure which specific entity,
but there were a lot of people that had been essentially all summer roaming
the streets getting signatures to have it on the ballot. And it wasn't even
saying whether or not you are going to vote for nor against. It was
just get signatures to get it on the ballot. And there was the special
election in August, which was whether or not fifty percent major or yeah,
fifty one percent majority rules or if it had was going to change were more
of a majority of a majority would roll, which gave less people kind of
more power if they voted one way or the other, they could stop something.
But it was also opposite. So if you voted yes in August,
you're likely going to vote no. Now you voted no in August, you're
likely going to vote yes, And so then there was some confus Yet,
so then there was some confusion of like, well, however people voted before,
is that going to be the same way they vote because they don't understand
that now it's a little bit flipped. Well, there are a lot of
local communities that have municipal elections. My community of framing Him, Mass has
a slate of contested races city council, school committee, library trustee, cemetery
trustee, and I dare say that that's probably what's going on in most local
communities because a lot of communities don't like to have their local elections tied with
the federal elections, even though more people come out to vote on federal elections
than in regional and local elections. Do you remember what the percentage was of
people who came out during the primary or during that August pre it's the count
I remember what For some reason, I want to say it was seventy something
percent. It may have been eighty something percent, but still. Yeah,
but it's still one of those things where it is it's not enough. Everybody
needs to go out and vote one way or another. There was even something
as simple as a I think it was some school levy or some school board
issue in one of the neighboring towns that it lost by seventeen votes. Oh
wow, and they had I think maybe sixty percent of voters come out.
That goes to show like every vote truly does count. Mm hmm, yeah,
well it does, and we need to be more conscious of how the
system works. Kind of have to become a teacher of the airwaves because the
school system in this country is so badly compromised when it comes to this sort
of thing. If they are talking about politics, it's with a sway,
it's with a it's with a point of view, and that's really very dangerous,
very it's bad bad. The bad part of this is that a lot
of people don't know what they're voting for. They become because of that,
they lose interest. You know, they think if they can go and vote
for Trump or whomever it is, that's wow, that's great, I'm gonna
go vote for him. But then you forget about what the real system is
about. And that's kind of what we need to appreciate, I think on
a day like today, because that's kind of our notion of democracy. We
are a republic, but we are This is certainly a lot different from a
dictatorship or a kingdom. You know, the British people who we consider to
be our equals, they have no rights. There's no Bill of rights,
there's no constitution, there's no nothing. You are and you are in exist
or in England if you didn't know it or not, at the whim of
the Queen or the king. That's who is in charge of what rights you
have, how you live your life with the I mean, they have a
parliament, sure, and they pass rules, regulations, laws, that sort
of thing, but it isn't the same. It's a different thing. A
constitutional monarchy is different than a constitution of the Republic anyway. So if you
go back in history to seventeen eighty nine, which was the first US presidential
election, there was each state one by one choosing presidential elections, I mean
the electors, and then they had thirty four days to send the electors to
the voting in the electoral College. That's where all of this nonsense with the
electoral college started. It wasn't nonsense then it is nonsense now as a matter
of fact, to speak to that, there's a poll that has come out
Biden is behind. I was thinking about when he ran for president, he
ran as the electability candidate. He went through his the guy has been a
pretty middle of the road Democrat, a moderate Democrat. So here I am
the boy from screen in Pennsylvania. I can be Donald Trump. Well,
whether he did or he didn't. There's an argument, as you know,
from those who say what they call themselves the what is the elector what is
it? The election deniers? That's the group I think they call him,
right, So uh you look, let's fast forward to right now. There
was a poll taken by Siena College last week in the six states that are
likely to decide the presidency. Isn't that absurd? Think about that statement for
a second. In the six states that are likely to decide the presidency,
and in those states, Trump leads Biden in five of them, Pennsylvania,
Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Michigan. And that's enough. In those
states. Those five states give him two hundred and seventy electoral votes. What
a god blessed outrage. So I in Massachusetts have no say, You and
Ohio have no say, and all the rest of the people around the country.
Really, you might as well stay home. See, this is why
people don't go to vote, because we have this damn electoral college that skews
the way. That's why all the people who are running. Yeah, they
start in New Hampshire and Iowa because that's where the momentum begins. But when
it goes, when you come right down to it, wait till it gets
to be time to go out and really pound the pavement. And most of
the time will be spent in those states. And so Trump's ahead by four
points in those five states, not how he's doing in any of the rest
of the states. Those five states, so this is a striking example of
how badly we have turned the corner into neglect. If you will, it's
time this whole thing was changed. One man, one vote we have we're
not really I have no say, and who gets elected You don't have any
say. And who gets elected in reality, you might depending on how the
primary turned out. But I'm talking about the final election. And that's one
of the things also that the news media twists around because they aren't doing Is
it their job to teach you what's going on? I don't know. I
guess depends on your point of view. It's their job to inform you as
to how this all works. That's why I'm telling you the story right now,
because I think it's my job to inform you as to how this thing
works. And I'm very concerned about either one of these boobs getting re elected.
Frankly, and if you spread things out and have a fair contest,
but this isn't a fair contest. This is a bag job. And so
you see the poll deals with black voters, Hispanic voters, Democrats, Republicans,
and then the analysis when you look into why people say they voted the
way they voted, most of them have you know, the bad news is
that most people think that Joe Biden is too old to be president. Interesting,
they don't apply in that same frashnale the Trump, which I find because
it seems more of an elderly in mentality rather than age. Because they do,
they do seem like they are nowhere near the same age. But also
look at the popular vote versus the electoral college. Five times a president has
been voted in when they lost the popular vote. It's not right. Not
right. In this portion of the program, we take apart some celebrity news
gossip, and there's a lot of focus on the trending list today on Celine
Dion. Remember what she was going through, all the things that seemed like
it could be frankly terminal. But she's appeared again, first public appearance in
three and a half years, and she did something that no one expected her
to do. Seline Dion lives in Las Vegas, and so last week she
stepped out for a hockey game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Montreal Canadians,
and so she was there and for whatever the reason, people acknowledged her
being there. And this whole thing has been very debilitating. It's called stiff
persons syndrome. Mccagey evan heard us talk about it before. So the lady
who runs the looks to me like this person runs the stadium and she's the
vice president of hockey communications for the Canadians. Yeah, because I mean,
yeah, yeah, it's Montreal. So of course Leane Dion was going to
spend some time with the hockey players and yeah, and with her stiff persons.
And she has good days, she has bad days. This happened to
be a particularly good day, thankfully. Yeah. And so she sang a
bit for the team I guess, right, for her hometown team. Yeah.
Yeah, she's hands with the team members. Yeah right, Yeah,
so she says, I'm alive, and that's a positive thing. Obviously,
this probably is good for when you do stuff like this. It's probably good
whether she was urged to do it by somebody that wanted her to sort of
stretch out a little bit, because it's hard to do that. This is
a very rare neurological disease, and sadly it's not curable. And so what
it does is create muscle spasms. We're not talking about cramps here. We're
talking about spasms that keep you from moving your the muscles, and of course
it'll affect your body and nervous system, your brain, your spinal cord,
all of this stuff. And I don't know is she in a wheelchair now?
I don't get that out of I don't believe she is. No.
So anyway, she got out there and decided to do what one of the
things, trying to do everything she can to be healthy enough to perform again.
But she's canceled all of her conscience. I can't imagine what I know
about this disease that she'll perform again, but she's at least shut her I
mean, this is probably good for psychologically if she just says, well on
this date, I'll cancel through this date and then we'll see what happens.
So what were you going to say, Jay? No? I agree.
I think it's one of those things that even if she could get a few
notes out, that was wonderful and a special experience for all involved. Yeah.
Right, so anyway, good luck, hold a good thought for Celine
Dion. I am Robert Strickler. My wife Joyce and I have been married
for fifty three years. Certainly one of the really important things in my life
our children and our grandchildren. I am essentially a writer. I've been involved
in communications in the media. I've been an avid fly fisherman for at least
forty or more years. I've been taking privileging on a regular basis for at
least eight years. For me, the greatest benefit over the years has been
that Prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly, have
a crisper ability to remember and think through things. And I enthusiastically recommend Previagen.
It has helped me an awful lot. Proviagen Healthier Brain, better life.

what it is that you spend your time on, where you put your effort
right, Think about that for a second, how you spend your days and
do all of the things you do yield equal results. Probably the answer to
that is no, I'm guessing that's the I mean, that's how i'd answer
it is everything you do with your time is it is equally fulfilling. Whether
it's work, whether it's play, family time, whatever it is. You
have different energies. Right when you're working, you have an energy when you're
at home taking care of your family and you having hats. Yeah, right,
I think that's the case. And so and sometimes you're better at some
things. We all know that some folks are better at being business people and
they are being home bodies. But then you get down to the nitty gritty
of you what action do you take that will get results that will make things
better? Think about it. I mean it's hard every action. You're not
going to think this too. But when you are trying to do a project,
for example, you have to clean the leaves, right the gutters on
most houses most parts of the country where there are leaves and the trees they're
falling off and they're filling up the gutters. You see all of these ads.
There's gonna be a lot of money in putting gutters on houses because at
least around here there are tons of ads or different companies don't have to worry
about getting a leaf gutter or whatever the stuff is called. You'll never have
to take leaves out of your gutters again, like the video or the imagery
of somebody scooping out these wet, soggy leaves with their bare hands. Right.
Yeah, and you know what, most of those things don't work.
I found that out. I've tried three or four of them on the gutters
around my house. Because if you've ever seen a picture jay, you've seen
a picture house. I'm surrounded by trees, these huge, big old maple
trees that are hundreds of years old, and they're right on top of the
house. So the leaves all come and we still have to clean them away.
Anyway, that's I'm just using that as an example. The idea is
that whatever you do, hopefully you will do your best at doing whatever you're
doing right, being a parent, being a worker, being an athlete right
when you want to. If you're a competitor, you can be a competitor
without you know, there's some people who compete well and some people who don't
like to lose. Right, everybody's been around those people and they get angry
when they lose. Yeah, get better. If you get better, you
just learned how to not do something. I mean, everything is an experience.
It's fast, yeah, for sure. Speaking of experiences, I'll never
forget the time one of the trips that I made to Africa being around elephants.
I've never really experienced anything quite like it. Right. We posted some
pictures of me when I say we, My family and I birthday visit to
the Gentle Cow, which is a farm in Santa Claritas, the north of
Los Angeles. Brendan and Sophie and Jasper and I went up there to talk
to the animal less this first time that Jasper, other than what he's seen
on my farm, has been around big animals and it was a great Brendan
wanted to do it because he thought would be a good birthday present for me,
and he knows his father. Yeah, I wanted to be around the
cows and the other animals that are there. It's a sanctuary. There are
three or four of them around the country, and I was thinking it'd be
neat for me on my farm to have. I have a bovine sanctuary,
but maybe sanctuary for other things. I don't know. Well, that's down
the road. Just now bringing that into focus because going over to Africa and
a couple of Botswana is one place where I went that I saw these elephants
Zimbabwe, and so I'm looking at this overview. You know, I get
dangerous when I go on a trip because I read all these magazines and articles
and stuff, and I saw an article about what's happening to certain African elephants.
There have been mass deaths over in a couple of these places, and
the conditions are The theory is that these herds of animals have died because they
haven't had water, and that's because there's climate change. So I started thinking
about, you know, how beautiful this is more about how beautiful animals are
than how they're dying, because how they're dying is what happens. Unfortunately,
as the world changes. You can, you know, the climate change folks
go bananas on stuff like this, and I could see why they might.
When you see these dead animals along the banks of rivers and stuff. There's
nothing quite as majestic as an elephant. I mean, that's the way of
me playing. There's gentle giant. Oh my god, yeah, I mean
some of them. The bull elephants can be dangerous when they're around a herd
of cows, but this is this is something that has gone on, and
this there were no real signs of trauma. Trauma that's I sound like a
New England or right trauma. It's taken people three years to figure out what
caused the this death of the elephants. In the year twenty twenty, they
did autopsies on some of the carcasses to you know, try to figure out
what was going on because again the original one there is no thought was they
didn't have water or the water was contaminated, and so you know there was
And then there's always the intentional poisoning of animals, the poaching and those people
when you if you ever see these pictures of these these no good sobs who
shoot an animal trophy animals, Oh my god, shoot those guys. But
I'm pasture and let the animals do the work. Yeah, have a invite
a few lions and tigers to the scene. I see how they make out.
I just don't can. I don't condone hunting. I think it's an
awful thing. Anyway. So these were bacterial deaths. There was bacteria in
the water and that caused blood poisoning. And they all drank out of the
same pool and so that's why they all died as fast as they did as
a bacteria. It's kind of it wasn't like COVID, but it was in
a sense, and it was at the same time that COVID started. So
the question came up about yeah, exactly, they got the same sort of
thing floating around. There's not you know, we think it's when we have,
you know, a plague. Go back to the to the Middle Ages
and plagues that took place there. The reports are always about people, but
there were there was a plague that killed millions and millions of sickens, and
there was another plague that killed what they call mad cow disease. Thousands and
thousands of cows died from this virus. And you can go through the history
of the animal kingdom the same. We're animals, so we again think it's
all us, but it isn't. These things are around. The reason I
told you the story is because I wanted us all the think in terms of
the entire population of the planet, not just the human population of the planet,
because all of these things. I guess maybe I was thinking about it.
I saw this. My children all got COVID while I was there,
and I'm thinking, Okay, what the hell's going on here? And Megan
says to me, Dad, don't worry. You don't get it, You'll
never get it. And I haven't had it, thankfully, but they were
all, you know, we had a birthday celebration planned and we had to
cancel it because of them getting COVID. And it wasn't a serious case,
but it still is there and it makes people uncomfortable, and it's the words
that are used. Miles and I went out and did something on our own.
He didn't get it when this isn't even the first time you've been around
somebody who was diagnosed with COVID. So if you do not get it,
like I think, they need to study your blood because maybe you have the
better vaccine in your blood you are truly immune. You know, It's interesting.
Jack Stockwhall will visit with us later on in the hour. He and
I were talking about this yesterday because I have there's something going on in my
body that isn't I don't feel quite right, and I'm pretty focused and conscious
of what it is. And you know, he goes back to the same
thing as we you know, the obvious example of what's going on is Robert
F. Kennedy Junior in his voice, which he claims changed after he got
his shot. He was allergic to some of the stuff. And I don't
think any of us know there are some little things going on with me that
may or may not be Jack still suggest are alluded to the fact that one
of the things I'm going through is maybe a result of having those shots.
Who knows. At this point, I just don't recommend. I don't think
the shots that are around now. I think the shots that are around now,
the way they're being marketed, basically it's a scare tactic. I think
that we you know, we've a lot of people have had flu shots over
the years. If they get a combo flu shot that you know is reliable,
the flu shots are usually reliable in their content. Whether they actually do
anything or not, I don't know. I think sometimes the spirit mind body
connection is so strong that we can after we get a shot. Let's just
say the placebo effect. Okay, you get a shot and there's nothing in
it, but yet you've got it in your system and you think, okay,
I'm all set, and it's your mind that tells your body that you're
all set. Not your body that tells your body that you're all set.
Does that make sense? Oh? Absolutely, think about it. Yeah.
Yeah. So reason I bring up the African elephants is because I think that
they are an example of that. I went through a bunch of others that
can get the viruses, A different kinds of viruses affect them. But the
planet is loaded with bacteria and viruses. And there are those people who joke
saying that after the human after we kill ourselves off, which seems more likely
than not. Frankly, given the state status of things, I don't think
it's around the corner, but down the road. With all the people on
this planet, the hell are they going to survive if you just keep growing
the numbers as they are Anyway, I don't mean to be a pessimist,
but I think that after humans are off the planet, because I mean,
look, go back through the history of the planet. There are plenty of
other beings or objects or things that have kind of quote unquote controlled the planet.
And there are a lot of people's scientists who say the bugs will inherit
the earth. So not as the Bible says the meek will inherit the earth,
the bugs will inherit the Earth. So it's great business time for Caldron.
I would think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people would
be ordering nauseum. That's right. You know, it'll be twenty five years

Caltrin at top loss dot com. Thanks to Elizabeth Miller here, one of
the great calatrinconsultants at top loss dot com. The social media handle for you
to use on all our social media is that Good Day Networks, and I
must thank the load a ton of people who were nice enough to send me
birthday wishes. I read a lot of these comments. I had jay some
of these comments folks might see. And we're doing some promotional stuff of the
program, and there's some nice things that were said in here that sort of
helped describe the program it was aimed at me. I know that, but
the idea of having people who think enough of you to say hello. Bridget,
for example, said happy birthday, Dek. I really like the format
of the show. I hope you have a fantastic day. You know,
a lot of happy birthday wishes in here was a guy named Donald Trapp who
says, enjoy a great day and year, surrounded by the people you care
about most. And that's yes, for sure, what we want. Here's
Linda Espinoza, God bless you. Always love your show, especially when Jen
is up. Listen. Oh, I have to have yeah, I gotta
have a little of that. Here's Laura Francis who says, happy birthday.
I listen to you every day, which brings me joy and I always look
forward to hearing new things I would never know and most of all, I
love hearing your stories. When it comes to the history or farming stories,
they're the best. So that's very sweet. That's a good promotional There you
go, Jay, It's right, there's a good little promotional piece. Anyway,
Thanks to John the number of John's John Nielsen, thank you for your
wishes. Judy Coke, thank you for your wishes. Karen Engberg, Brenda,
Joslyn, Cheryl. I'm just looking at some of this stuff. Here's
a Cheryl who said every word it I miss not hearing you yesterday, but
that's because I wasn't there anyway, Wnri down and one soccer rode on one
of the first places my voice has been on that radio station. Good heavens,
can you imagine like fifty almost sixty years that's really that may be that's
the longevity point, right, be on the same station. Yeah, one
of the first places I worked as a kid. All right, let's talk
about other things from the world of technology social media. Focusing on this new
robot that seems to be human like and it is useful. It's kind of
an engineering dream, kind of out of a science fiction book. In a
manner of speaking, the wave of investments in the quest to build a humanoid
like is it like three CPO? Does that come into your mind when you
look at some of these things that have been built, or they're trying to
build a robot that looks like a person, sounds like a person, acts
like a person, they always think of the Will Smith movie I Robot and
the Chief Engineer they're the chief robotics officer at Agility Robotics even says they're not
necessarily it was never necessarily the goal to create robots that were looking like people.
But they more so wanted to make robots that could operate in human spaces.
But why why do a neyed that? Thank you for asking. That's
a good question, because some people will use them. You know, it
depends on how they're marketed as much as anything else. We all know that
the a lot of the industrial world now has robots performing tasks that humans used
to do. Best example of that is the automobile industry, but there are
others, for example, the drug industry. The mixing you know, you
think the stuff that goes into the pill. That's why every once in whted
to get a recall because the robots that are mixing the stuff and putting it
together. In those little pills, they get kind of lost, right,
so they want these machines that are better, I was gonna say, trained,
better, built, right to do the job with a kind of like
thinking about it, which is that kind of is where you go bananas with
me. Huh's a human that thinks. The next Stefan Good Day download with
