The next Stefan Good Day down Lord with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible
in part by caltren, which is the safe way for you to lose weight
and keep it off, and also by previlegent keeping your brain healthy. Let
us all break bread together, hold our hands, and contact a living Shall
we I like it? Ivember fourteenth is upon us. Almost nothing need be
said here. We are making our living talking about things. But the best
approach when it comes to fixing some of the things that need to be fixed
is not necessarily conversation. When you have eyes, you can look into those
eyes as a song. Let's see the as a guess who does these eyes?
And something about eyes? The eyes have it? Remember that expression.
They do, and they should and sometimes they save a lot of stuff.
I thought it was interesting. What made me think about that is there was
an operation in New York that actually transplanted a whole eye, and it's sort
of I think it is the first time this has been done like this.
You're going to have eye replacement, sometimes eyeballs. But the there was a
frontier that hadn't been crossed yet of medical possibilities, and so these people put
together and executed the first whole eye transplant. The fellow who had the operation
fellow named Aaron James. He has not regained his sight yet. He was
blind. The surgical achievement is being praised for rushering in a new kind of
ocular development the eyes. And so think about your eyes. How precious those
eyes of your that you haven't family had, everybody around you. We take
them for granted, often don't take good care of them, and thus they
become weaker, and you become more frustrated because you can't really see as well
as the oliest person see the forest for the trees. Yes, exactly,
well, and things happen with age two. But normally when people are donors
and something happens to them, and their organs and everything are donated, their
eyes are donated too, but it's usual it's only the cornea that has ever
really been used. So the fact that they're yeah, the entire eyeball,
this is amazing. Yeah, it really is. Okay, so tever a
round of applause for that, and move into some other items of interest and
importance for this Tuesday eleven, Dash fourteen, Dash twenty three. I thought
it was interesting after the blowback that has surrounded Clarence Thomas, who may be
one of the worst certainly in modern times, a worst member of the Supreme
Court and any number of considerations, and has nothing to do we even know,
why should I apologize for what I'm thinking? Yeah, you're a bigot
and no, uh, this guy is a boob and doesn't belong on the
Supreme Court anyway. So there are all kinds of questions about the travel,
about the gifts, about the things that he has been getting. After an
investigation yielded that he had millions of dollars of things that were given to him
by a very wealthy friend and he never reported. I guess maybe that's the
infraction here. He hasn't reported them. And if you don't report stuff like
this's because you don't think it'll pass muster. But he thinks he's silly or
not smart enough to know that everybody's watching. He's a Supreme Court justice,
for Heaven's sakes, and he makes what could be considered by some bad decisions.
So he makes himself a target, which also means he either doesn't care
or he's not very smart, or maybe a little of both. Oh,
I thinks he's untouchable. Maybe a little of that as well, thank you.
Yep. So the Supreme Court has had a two hundred and thirty four
year history of until modern times sort of being above reproach. But this travel
and all the things that he's accepted, it's just questionable. And so the
Court yesterday released a statement that basically said that there wasn't much new here.
It's just an enforcement code to make sure that all nine of the current members
of the Court recuse themselves from any cases if they have a personal bias or
prejuice. Actually, what this does is nothing. It doesn't really change.
It just emphasizes what already was on the books, if you will. It
doesn't hold Clarence Thomas any more accountable than public visage has. And so what's
the big deal. The big deal is once again looking at someone and you
know, it's become again the political thing. The guy who's the chairman of
the Senate Judiciary Committee, Richard Durbin, who's the Senator of milanois said he
thought this was a step in the right direction. But then when you have
some legal scholars look at it, it doesn't it doesn't do it. It
just I guess it pushes the focus and maybe that's the right direction. But
anybody who says, for the first time the Supreme Court has a conduct and
that's bush. But why would they even want to use that verbiage? Why?
Yeah, why is it considered a good thing of like for the first
time ever? There's no course? Why was there not already a gode of
conduct? Yeah? Right, there's no enforcement mechanism here. So it's just
a bunch of hohoi. The whole thing is a bunch of whoy. But
it does bring you, or brings all of us people who think, oh,
he's fabulous. This is just a liberals trying to get at him.
Now it's not. It's him tripping over his own junk. That's kind of
what it is. And so tighter ethics. Everybody that serves the public should
have a code of conduct. This is Doug Stephan speaking. And so when
you look at these guys over the years, the things that they've done to
aggrandize themselves. That's what the opportunity to be a congress person now does.
It gives you a lot of ways to make a lot of money, either
during or after your time in Congress. It's become very corrupt. The government
itself is corrupt. Thus we see all of the things around us, and
that seemed to cause us to raise those eyebrows. There we are with the
eyes again. But it's not He's going to be a difference in Clarence Thomas.
He thinks again, he's above approach, So why should I change my
stripes? So that's my feeling on that. What's your feeling? Help yourself
to our social media. All of it is connected to you by the handle
at good Day Networks. I'm sure that Jay will post something as she always
does that will give you a chance to maybe focus in on this specifically or
other things that are a part of what's going on, For example, the
government, well Toady's at fourteenth right, is tomorrow the deadline for a government
shut down? I think it was forty five days after the first of October,
right, and today the fourteenth, So that means tomorrow the Speaker of
the House, mister speaker, mister speaker, I leave it is friday.
If they can not agree on a plan, is it friday? That's more
than forty five days? But okay, yeah, so it's Friday, and
how close the new Speaker of the house, mister Johnson already has. I
think there's eight of the people that are on the far right. I mean,
this is a till of the territory. And so they don't want to
they don't want to, they don't want to give. They're tough. Let's
get them. What does that mean? You're going to get? We're going
to get. And anyway, so does he win does he lose? Well,
time will tell. We get a short amount of time the country.
You know, you talk about Clarence Thomas talking about these people. Have we
got excuse me, if we've gotten to a point where we are unmanageable?
Are we un rulable? Are we I think they're a history The history books
will teach us that there have been many times during the course of our engagement
that we've had a lot of problems, but they didn't have the scrutiny of
a bad news media which doesn't scrutinize the right stuff, in my humble opinion,
or social media which makes a mess pretty much out of everything, anything
and everything. The example of that probably is not better served than what's going
on in the Middle East with the whole it's just what is Netaniell really doing?
What are the Palestinians really experiencing? What needs to be done to make
the Middle East safe and again manageable. Here's another There are more examples,
but I'm looking at the third strikes on some of these groups that are connected
to Iran that actually attacked American soldiers over the weekend. The Air Force set
in strike aircraft. They hit a weapons storage facility and a command center where
these people. This is in Syria. So not only do we have a
problem right in the immediate area of Gaza and Israel and Palestine, and also
into Syria. They're such hatred. These people hate each other because they're a
different religion. Think about how ridiculous that is. All these people are dying
over the course of history. My religion is better than yours. The Queen
of Spain sent Columbus to the New World to convert people to Catholicism, and
if they didn't convert, they got killed. So and you can go back
further than that, and you can fast forward and look at any number of
things that have happened because people don't agree on where God is, who God
is, what happens in the afterlife. So all these people from Hamas are
told this is great, and the Hamas soldiers are killing Palestinians, basically making
martyrs out of them, so they think we'll kill all these guys. Now
blame it on the Israelis and they're going to find a better spot to go
to. Anyway. Who thinks like that? Well, these people think like
that, and so that's why we have a conflict. And wow, Welcome
to Tuesday. Boys and girls. Social media times, celebrity news time,
trending items. For example, Pink, for whom I have great admiration,
has a new friend. And so the new friend is not my grandson has
a new friend. Name is Rowan. Pictures of this nice red haired poodle
as he grows up in my You can see that in my Facebook page,
Facebook dot Comforts Last Doug Stephan. That's not what's going on with Pink.
And because it's identified as a four legged friend, it's obviously not a Pink
Cadillac. So what is she sharing pictures of? And what's new in her
life? Aren't you excited about? You want to know? Inquiring minds,
She puts on quite a show, this lady known as Pink. She got
an interesting family she has over her years of being public made it known that
she loves animals, and so she has a new baby goats. There are
a lot of pictures of her covering this baby goat. Right, yeah,
I think she was doing a photo shoot and the photo. In the picture
she's by a table with I'm sorry, yeah, no, I'm just saying
she said, give me a goat please. Oh yeah, she's by a
table with a bunch of makeup on it, on the table holding the goat.
So not sure if that was somebody else's for a baby that they just
had brought with them, or if this is going to be some photo shoot
where she's with a goat or maybe a couple of goats or something has yet
to be seen. But she's like, I know what I want for Christmas
and Hanukah. It's a baby goat. Please, somebody make it happen for
me. So isn't she somebody she's got. She's done a lot of work
publicly promoting rescue. She has a hashtag adopt on't shop. This is an
encouragement to consider rescuing versus purchasing a pet, which is an excellent All over
the country these places and you can it's not just dogs. There are a
lot of a lot of different animals that you can rescue. I have an
animal sanctuary on my farm to save cows. And then there's that place out
in California, a couple of other places, the Gentle Cow where they save
pigs and goats, And as a matter of fact, that's probably where she
should go, whether she knows about it or not. Remember when she posed
nude for Pete Ed, Yes, yeah, she said I'd rather go naked
than wear fur. So anyway, a lot of people who are celebrities are
they consciously promote these things. But I don't think anybody's quite as active as
Pink in the entire in the realm of the animal kingdom. She wants to
save them all. So let's see if she gets a goat for all they
want for Christmas is a little goat. A little goat, A little goat,
all right, So you have Pink. Yeah, goats are fun and
they're gentle and they like people. It's cool. 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 and communications in the media. I've
been an avid fly fisherman for at least forty or more years. I've been
taking Prevagen 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 Prevagen. It has helped me an awful
lot Proviagen Healthier brain, better life. Robert Strickler is a content contributor for
Prevagen and real user based on a clinical study of subgroups of individuals who are

I like peach pie better than apple pie. About you, Jay,
I'm a person pumpkin pie, okay, but I am picking. Not all
pumpkin pies are created. There was a question about whether pumpkin pies were really
made out of pumpkins. This came up on Halloween, and I forgot about
it because it wasn't exactly you know, number one on the Hit Parade when
it came to discussing some of the issues of the day. But yeah,
yeah, there's a there's a whole big thing about pumpkins. And I'm now
trying to see who I can go back to finding why do I save stuff
like this? Well, no, this is this is a conversation that happens
every year, especially with what's the one popular brand of pumpkin, Libby's.
Where it's really I mean, it's a variety of squash, because squash and
gourds are essentially the same thing. It's just how they're used. And so,
yeah, pumpkin, there's some pumpkin in it, but it's not always
one hundred percent pumpkin is squash. So you must have seen the same thing
I did. The pumpkin. Libby's has its own variety and they have a
pumpkin off yeah, right, and then you have other different types of pumpkins.
So good for you. If you saw the same thing I did,
it must be I mean, we can all find the same things here and
there, look around and observe. It's all about observation as much as anything
else. So and I was actually we've been involved in a lot of tree
planting on the farm and in the development because trees have to be moved,
and it's a good time of year. For those of you who know anything
about horticulture, this is an excellent time of year to be transplanting things,
whether it may be flowers in your flower bed, because before the ground goes
dormant, it sort of protects the roots of the things that you're moving.
So trees to a certain size they can be I love this big tree out
behind my house and I just transplanted it a little while ago because I couldn't
see out into the pasture and so took the tree down so I got to
see the little calves and cows, little punks that are running around in that
field up back, and so we transplanted it from the back of the house
to the front of the house. And it won't you know, we won't
know whether it actually survives. Sometimes I've transplanted things and they've done great,
and other times I've transplanted stuff. Depends on how big the ball is,
how much water you put on it. I've learned to put some good natural
compost in that helps to encourage the roots to spread out faster. And quicker,
faster and quicker. Good dog, same thing, faster and healthier.
So there it is little horticulture in the morning on the Good Day Program with
Jay Krishner and Doug Stephen, I find that love is like a tree.
It grows of its own accord. It puts down deep roots, and therefore
it can help enhance itself by being a whole being. Being a whole being
the roots right important stabilizing itself against the elements. Speaking of stabilizing, the
Republicans seem to be narrowing down the field of candidates, even though Christie is
hanging in there and Ramaswami, what did she call him? What did what
did Haley call him? Oh? Like a turd? But yeah, I
believe it. Com is calling somebody a turd and calling him has come?
Is that pretty equivalent, you think? Is he if he's just come?
Is he aterd? But turd is a clean way of calling him with something
else? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel like the previous one is
more of a like immature thing to call somebody, and scum is like,
I don't know, that just feels a little bit more like there's passion behind
it. You're passionately angry with somebody. Okay, so let's just do it.
For instance, want to just maybe just right exactly. So, I'm
looking at pictures of Nikki Haley. I listen to her and the video from
the debates, and she's okay, She's got a good head on her shoulders.
She has a lot of important things to say, whereas Desanta's in far
them concerned, has nothing to say about anything that makes any sense. There's
no universality with him anybody who's going to be. And so then you can
say, well, does Trump have any universality? My gut tells me interesting,
Let's see how this works out. That Trump is not going to make
it because he's going to be too engaged. I mean, think about there's
so much territory here here that has never been traversed before. A guy who's
charged with eighty seven different counts of all kinds of misdemeanors and crookedness and stuff.
And you know it's okay. I think some of it is the gotcha
mentality. Let's go get him. He's got to be guilty of something like
oh, Jay Simpson, Yeah, we gotta get it. We can't get
him for what he's really guilty for but let's get him for something else.
And so how well Trump finesses his way through this? The landmines here and
continues to show his impetuousness, like you know, if it was anybody else.
And that's what I don't understand, the way he talks to the judges.
In a regular court room, the judge would have him thrown into jail
for contempt. But Trump keeps flattering away and the judge just sort of sits
there and takes it, at least in the current trial. Yeah, it's
almost it's not it's not what somebody is doing, it's the who is doing
it kind of situation? And is it just because they expect that from Donald
Trump? He is? Why are there not cameras around him at all times?
I feel like you could do a live streaming reality show and it would
be incredibly popular, Like people are leaving money on the table with this exactly.
All right, Careful about the bird flu. There is a this is
it may not affect Thanksgiving, although it already has. And the reason I
say that because there's some of the poultry in New England has been affected by
this very highly spreadable type of bird flu. That's around again, I use
the it's the same as COVID. It's it is only COVID for birds.
That's what the bird flu is. Hello, That's why they call it the
bird flu. And it's running rampant around this part of It's a migration thing
because birds are migrating now to go south here in the north when it gets
cold, the birds go south, you know, like the what they call
them, the what they call them, the people that go from the north
to the south in the winter time, snow birds. Yeah. Right,
there's a reason for that. The birds go and as they travel, they
drop their poop. And it's like geese is nothing more dangerous than a flock
of geese, just dangerous because of their poop full of salmonella. Geese are
just awful anyway, and their poop does not look like other birds poops.
No, no, so anyway, yep, So anyway, the bread the
spread of the bird flu has threatened the turkey population. Most of the turkeys
that are going to be served next week have been prepared. They're either frozen
or they're in your freezer, or they're waiting for you at the local poultry
farm. But the reason I bring it up is because the cost of that
and I just did some analysis. I gotta find that of what the farmer
actually is getting out of the Thanksgiving meal that you eat every year. I
do this cost came well. I mean every year the farm groups get together
and they want you to know what the what the farmers getting out of the
food dollar sharing of Thanksgiving food dollars. So the National Farmers' Union has the
updated information on the share of the food dollar for the stuff that's usually served
in a typical stuff on Thanksgiving. This is a reflection for all of you
to think about how much the family farmers earn compared to the amount consumers pay
for the bird. Unless you buy it from the farm where the bird was
raised, these numbers do not reflect that because and this is the smartest way
to buy the freshest turkey is to go to the farm. And there are
farms all over the country they do turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas and stuff,
so you can find them if you want to find them. So, but
at the checkout line in the supermarket, the grocery store, the food store,
the increased cost for most everything reflects a bit of what it costs to
grow the stuff. But do the farmers get the fair share. There are
a lot of big you know, this big ag the mergers and acquisitions of
some of the huge agricultural entities, the Albertson's and Kroger thing those chains.
When they get together, they'll tell the government regularly, Oh, everything's going
to be better because the price will be cheaper, bushois. The farmers get
screwed by these big companies, and you get screwed because the prices are crazy.
All right. So here's the breakdown. Ready, average retail price of
an eleven pound turkey is about twenty two bucks. Farmers share sixty six cents.
Ready for that just unacceptable mashed potatoes. A five pound bag of regular
potatoes usually abound four bucks. Farmers share sixty four cents. Sweet corn you
need to well, this time he was hard to find fresh sweet corn.
Hull. Let's take one of those frozen cartons of what is it bird's eye?
They cost around four bucks. The farmer's share is forty one cents.
Stuffing. Average twelve ounce box of all ready prepared stuffing four dollars. For
that, farmers share is ten cents. A boneless ham retail price around twelve
bucks a pound, farmer's share a dollar forty. It looks like that's the
best so far. The pumpkins. We were talking about farmer's share of a
pumpkin pie filling per pound sixteen cents. Cranberry's retail price for twelve ounces three
bucks, farmers share thirty cents. All right? Is that for farmers?
You think it? Think it through? Is that there? So it's great
business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off the

great calitrinconsultants. At top loss dot com. Our focus is we take apart
some things on social media, try to relate them to you, and you
can relate to us by using at good Day Networks. That's the handle for
all of the connectors. This is something that's all over trending, all over
social media. Anti Bullying Week because mostly the technology that we're talking about here
social media is responsible for most of the bullying problems, not all of them,
but most of them. So there is the Anti Bullying Alliance that was
set up about twenty years ago. And it's not, by the way,
just a problem here in America. It's a problem experienced by young people all
over the world. So this particular group has its roots in England where the
problem is just to say, it's like everywhere. What is there about the
human condition, the psyche? It makes people want to make fun of others.
That's one of the threads in that movie I was talking about with Paul
Gimatti. It's how they called the holdover is bullying and what goes on in
schools anyway, the theme of this year's Anti Bullying Week is We're better without
bullying. What'd you start to say, Jay, Well, No, it's
one of those that misery loves company, and every bully is somebody else's victim.
It is definitely a psycle kind of situation and a lot of times the
bully is bullied in their home and they're definitely saying the people are definitely studying
this that are seeing trends where the rise of suicide is up for young people
who are victims of bullying. But then as bullies and their victims become adults,
typically the suicide rate is higher amongst those who used to bully because there
is a misery within there that's never healed. There's always a trauma within the
bully itself. And a lot of people think that bullying a bully is the
answer, and bullying a bully is still bullying. Yeah, and one wonders
where did this all start and how did it start and why does it continue?
What is there about the psychological impact? I have a fellow who works
for me on the farm, who has a If it wasn't for us,
he wouldn't be able to. He doesn't socialize with anybody but us. He
doesn't really have the experience handle to make it in the world. And if
it wasn't for us. And I don't say this to sound like, oh
and a great guy, it's just that we love this guy and he couldn't
get a job anywhere else. So he has a functional ability, but his
function is limited because his father beat the living daylights out of him when he
was a kid and injured his brain, just beat him. And I get
so angry, and to hear those stories, I want to go back and
find the guy or go stomp on his grave or something. Yes you yeah,
So anyway, it's a very important thing to have it on our minds.
There are places like New Jersey that's adopted the Anti Bullying Bill of Rights,
and it is Yeah. I don't know what you got to say.
It's not all the other problems in the world. How do you stop them
by getting to the root of what the problem is. That's often psychology.
Here's the story of a child psychologist to use AI to create child sex abuse
images. So this guy has been sentenced to forty years in jail after he
was found guilty of numerous charges relating to child sex abuse images. What ay
man, This guy's forty one years old name is David Tatum, practiced in
Charlotte, sentenced for using artificial intelligence to create explicit images of children. Oh
you, and you know what. Good for them forgetting this guy and giving
him a sentence should be longer. Like. One of the things that his
roway the key. Yeah, one of the things that this guy's his lawyers
could have argued was that no real life children were hurt in any of this.
It was it was all AI created images and absolutely not no the AI.
You cannot hide behind it with this. This is awful and good for
them for busting the sky against aipologists. Your parents were trusting this guy to
help their children. I know slimewad is too good a word for him.
All Right, That's enough of this. The next step and good Day download
