heat is so hot it's like a blast furnaced in some parts of the country.
James Collins down in Dallas at the main studio. So it's temperature.
You've gone down a little bit. You're one hundred and eleven, I think
rich here at one point this week. That's right, we're up to one
hundred and eleven and now we're looking at a cool ninety five, perfect like
spring time. Yes, so that's good. As we go through the first
full week of July twenty twenty three, this happens to be the seventh,
right, yes, the end of the first week. How do you do
My name is Derek Stephen. There's a Jay Kirshner. I've had such a
hard time typing out because when I type out dates on the files or anything,
I do the numbers, and I have had such a hard time doing
zero seven zero six or zero seven zero seven, and I keep wanting to
do six first, like it's still June. I am having such a hard
time recognizing that we are no longer in June seven slash seven, slash twenty
three. That's how you would do it. Some people write it out.
I do that with my checks. I write out, oh no, no,
actually I don't. It's but I was with you. I wrote a
couple of checks out yesterday and it was six and then I scratched it out.
And people say I can't cash that, and I say, try help
yourself. So here we are with a review of a lot of different things,
the usual conversation with a certain amount of urgency. This program is brought
to you by Progressive Insurance. Insurance for your motor or say it again one
more time, motor cycle your boats RBS would be a good weekend to be
out in the boat, that's for sure. With nice peaceful lake, the
water is warmer. I was on the shore of a lake the other day.
Was in the fourth of July, helping your friend move and the kids
that were next door, or just running out at the end of the dock
and jumping in. It's like a scene from Tom Sawyer or something like that.
So I enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. It's good to listen, you're
gonna have the global warming folks yell and scream about this sort of thing.
It's not like you really could do anything about it. Yeah, they'll sell
you a bill of goods that you can and you might be able to help
a little, but you're not going to change the course of the history of
the planet, even though we've contributed to a point to the situation. After
I saw or reviewed that business. But I think we talked about on Monday
or Tuesday. The axis axis, the thing that the imaginary thing that goes
from the north pole to the south pole that is sort of the center of
the of the planet, Well, that's shifting, and it has over the
history of the four billion, five billion years the plant has been in existence,
it has shifted a number of times, so that even though it's hard
to believe that what is now the equator it used to be the poll that
the Earth is flipping itself around, which it does, it takes a long
time to do it, like yeah, yeah, right, that's why we're
making because it's like a rotisserie. Very good, all right, So anyway,
with progressive you want progressive to help you protect yourself on the road and
on the water, see how much you can save. It's eight hundred Progressive
phone number and Progressive dot com is the address. So what do we have
that's going to inspire us? So I'm in a childlike mood today at Jay
and that may be the impetus that compels me to seek out opportunities to play
and be playful. Left to drive up to Vermont, cross the lake and
go into New York State tonight. And the last time I took this boat,
it was in the middle of winter, and I have on my side
shirts on my face. I think we posted it. Actually me my truck
sitting on the front of this icebreaker going across Lake Champlain, and it looked
like the truck was floating on the on the ice. Won't be like that
because the water up there is I'm sure nice and warm and pleasant. Be
a nice little trip for it, Izzy and me. So that's what's that's
my opportunity to be playful. I might go up to Lake winter Pisake tomorrow,
which is another great place in New England to go. So many people
vacationing, so many people on the roads. Be careful as you drive because
there are always those nutbirds. And then We've talked about some of them this
week that they're they're driving showways, say, leaves a lot to be desired.
Yes, yes, okay. So what's the story with this fellow who
handcuffed himself to Buckingham Palace the gates there. They had to clear the area.
The police are sort of confused, as are most other people, as
to why somebody would handcuff himself to the gates at Buckingham Palace. Obviously that's
the big deal with the King and used to be the Queen. The official
royal residence is bucking Anybody who's been to England, anybody's been to London certainly
has walked down that boulevard or ridden down that boulevard to the opening that is
Buckingham Palace. And so it's the magnificence of it, really is. That's
what I'm thinking of. I don't know what this nut guy is doing.
He was threatening to harm himself. He just walked up to the gate and
handcuffed himself, threatening to harm himself. They were able to get an ambulance
service on the scene and police were talking to him and it seems like everything
was okay. He didn't have ill intention towards on anyone else, but you
never know that. That's why they had to evacuate everybody in the area.
And then the King and Queen weren't even there. They're in somewhere else,
Scotland. They had plenty of places to go. Yeah, I think they're
in Scotland as a matter of fact. So anyway, it's not like it
was a big deal, but it's an interesting deal because we find ourselves paralyzed
sometimes by the actions of one person. You were talking just before we're going
on the air about this, this story from a couple of days ago,
this woman yelling to get off the plane and didn't you know, I saw
somebody in the back end. I don't want to be on the plane of
that person. So there's a postcript to that. You want to explain the
pop to that. And it's one of those things that it's probably not real.
It's it's floating around online and it could just be a content creator doing
something. But there's another video where it is somebody who claims to be a
fellow passenger who was sitting there at the ear of the plane that this woman
was and he said that it's not like she was talking to an imaginary person.
It was the sky with wearing a hood, and he's staring at her,
and she's having this conversation with him, and she's responding to him as
if he's talking to her, but he's just looking at her. He's not
actually engaging with her. And then she gets kind of more irate and upset
and then stands up and a flight attendant comes back talks her down a little
bit. She sits back down, but then it gets to the point where
she's just not having it. She goes to get off the plane. That's
where the other video that's going viral picks up and everything, and the guy
is saying once she exits, the exits the plane before everybody else is told
to exit the plane. He looks over at the sky and he's like,
it didn't register at the time, But the guy winks set me. And
when I was thinking about it later, he didn't wink like people do with
the eyelids up and down. He winked like a lizard sideways. And James
and I were talking about, like, how does that not if that's real,
how does that not register right in the moment. So it's one of
those things of like you cannot believe everything you see online, and it could
just be somebody trying to get in on this or whatnot. But that's the
latest video going around. Isn't it amazing? How that reminds me of the
characters and the scene from the bar on the first Star Wars movie. Those
don't those when you use your imagination a little bit, or that TV show
V where they weren't really humans, they were lizards and they were about to
eat up everybody on the planet. If I remember that all correctly. Oh
wow, yeah, yeah, yeah. Flashbacks are they're they're what they are?
Flashbacks? Oh the well, I opened up this can of worms in
my mind. I had a dream about this last night. Actually, the
Ocean Gate Exploration sub if that's what you want to call it, they were
last week selling they were continuing after the implosion of the death of those five
people. They kept selling trips. Yep, here we go next time,
I mean the two hundred and fifty thousand. But they've seen the error of
their ways and so they have quote suspended all exploration and commercial operations posted on
the website, And so is that the end? No more submersibles, no
more traveling down to the Titanic, it would seem, at least for now,
that would be the prudent thing. Is there another company that's doing this?
I feel like, yeah, I feel like there's another company that's doing
this. Well. The problem with ocean Gate is that so many people said
it was not The submersible was not built correctly, it was not up to
code, it was very haphazard, and even though it had gone down so
many times, it's only a matter of time before it deteriorated enough that something
like this happened. And so I think that as far as ocean Gate goes,
they might have to sell or rebrand or change their name or do something.
But I would like to think that moving forward, there would be more
coats, there would be more people monitoring them, more supervision, and yes,
more supervision. And even if it's a private company, there still has
to be some level of another business, another company that is overseeing the safety
of this. Yeah, like I need license to do all of this stuff.
Well, there's so much government everywhere. You'd think there was there was
a need or somehow there would be somebody, but it's new and so nothing
had happened, and so people do things. And then after the fact,
there's government regulations, so yeah, it's probably coming down the pike one way
or another. What's going on in social media trending items about celebrities many times,
and Brittney Spears is back and it has been two weeks. Is a
drought on information regarding Britney Spears. So now she has been well, there's
an alleged this is kind of a weird deal. Britney Spears was a or
is a fan. I don't know, maybe she's not anymore of this player
Victor Wim bay Yama, Is that right? Yeah, She and her husband
and a couple of other friends were going into a restaurant in the Aria Hotel
in Vegas, and Victor happened to be right in front of them, going
in separately, and she's a big fan. She wanted to ask for a
picture, so she went up to him to tap him on the shoulder,
and the head of security, Damian Smith, he's the director of team security
for the Spurs. He he backhanded her basically doctor because sunglasses off, and
it was first alleged that he was hitting her hand away and hurt. The
force of it sent her hand flying at her face, but then other bystanders
who said they saw the situation were like, no, he's straight up like
backhanded, hearty, damn digressive. It is is yeah. And then afterwards,
while they were all inside at supper tables, I guess the the director
of security went over and apologize and everything. His security Victor's security team and
Britney security team had a conversation. But Britney security team are going to press
charge. This is actually be a criminal investigations. But it does raise the
question when you have private security, what level of force are they permitted to
do to protect who they are hired to protect, because and today we depend
on the circum when people are going to yeah, when people are doing when
they get that close. Yeah. Well and he even said he didn't realize
it was Britney Spears. Well that's what was This was the action of tapping
him on the shoulder aggressive enough to elicit that response from what I definitely and
here the answer is no at all. So you know, under the circumstances,
do you assume him do you make an example out of this? Because
I've seen things like this with celebrities, even people Britney Spears. I don't
know that it's happened to her, but other singers have been in that circum
Oh there was a security guard at a Taylor Swift concert who got a little
too forceful with one of the fans at the point where Taylor Swift was on
stage, shouting at him to knock it off, and then her people ended
up giving tickets to this fan for the following night. Selena Gomez, there's
a video of her yelling at at one of her security guards who there was
a fan that just tried to talk to her and they got yeah, really
rough with the fan, and yeah, there you go. I'm Greg I'm
sixty eight years old. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, major in
business administration. I do motivational speaking in addition to substitute teaching. Part of
the reasons for my motivational speaking is um I kind of feel like I have
a calling or giving back to the younger generation. You know, the golden
role is doing of others. You'd have them do one to you. My
wife, Janda, is a senior flight attendance. She's been flying for over
thirty years. We do laugh qut a bit. I think most adults will
start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as say used to, or
they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. I've been taking privilege
for about three years now. People say to me periodical, Man, you
got a memory like an alpha. It's really really helped me tremendously privi healthier
brain, better life. Greg Freely is a paid testimonialist and real priviging user

responsible for the focus that we have today on not the flora and the fauna
so much as the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees,
the things that need protection. She wrote that poem called Silent Spring. It
was a focus on DDT and some of the other horrible stuff, the Montsandro
type stuff before Montsandra was around. Is to spray from mosquitoes. You probably
neither of you remember that. James Collins at the controls and next hearing about
it. Yeah, right, so that's the person responsible and so that's you
know, there's a lot of room for a lot of interpretation there. Speaking
of that, here's the Australians making history again. The announcer was made this
week by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. They have one of those in Australia.
They have granted authorization for a prescription of mushrooms, psychedelic mushrooms to assist in
the kind of like ecstasy in a manner of speaking, these mushroom you've heard
these stories about, Yeah, what is it, the psycho psycholosyclesillavan, Yes,
right, yeah, so they're going to be able to use down there
that sort of help for people who are depressed, people who are PTSD,
people who are basically significant out of their significantly out of tune or touch.
So the mental health people say this is a big advancement. I wonder if
it will happen here or is there too much focus. It's hard enough to
get marijuana into the mainstream if you will, but I'll show you it does
a lot of things like that. The first nation to do this that or
the other thing. And so is this something that will hit its stride.
Is this a therapy? Is this a movement? Mushrooms? A lot of
people like I love mushrooms. I don't do psychedelic mushrooms, but apparently you
can. We want to pronounce that again, Jay, psycho, what is
it? Psycho? I can't recall what it's psycho, cyclosyllabin something like that,
something like that. Anyway, apparently it can. This is a good
thing for me to ask doctor Kenn about. It'll change your thinking patterns.
It has the ability to alter what you These little mushrooms if you consume them
at a low, a low, little little bit here and there, it'll
it'll help you out. And by the way, the same stuff will lower
the risk of your getting cancer. So is it worth it? I guess
you'll have to make up your own mind about that. I would better be
a while and before this happens here. But well, but look at medical
marijuana. Yep, when they first started using that as medicine, and well,
I mean that's been medicine for centuries really when you think about it.
But a lot of people are kind of like, how is this going to
work? How is this going to really take full effect? And then now
it's legal in a lot of places, just outright, not even medicinal.
And with the mushrooms, I do believe is it Oregon there's a state that
was working to pass mushrooms or Colorado. We have listeners in Oregon. If
that's the case, I'm sure I'll hear from him. Yeah. Psilocybin,
that's the one I couldn't. I could not recall the word. It's psilocybin.
That's the active ingredient. Yeah. All right, here's the story of
a man who survived. Fellow in Georgia on the road to recovery this week
after being impaled by a tree branch while he was driving through a storm.
Now, just put your imagination into high gear on this one. He was
out with his family for the weekend. Right, his name is Anthony so
Tello and his wife or in a thunderstorm and a tree fell on their car.
Wow, this is no warning and just boom. I always wonder about
that in these big storms. It's like a scene out of Gray's Anatomy.
Yeah. Yeah, you're going into the into the emergency room. So they
have had this Fellow's you know, he's gonna apparently survive, right, Yes,
yeah, it's a tough time. He doesn't have medical insurance. So
there's a goal, a go fund me page that's been set up in his
name. S O. T. E. L O. Should you be
interested in checking it all out. He was in the car, so his
wife witnesses this, His eight year old son witnesses this. Yeah, oh
yeah, yeah, all right. So I'm gonna take the ferry across Lake
Champlain tonight. So of course I'm looking around at things. Okay, what
do I need to know? And I come across this story about the dock
worker who brought all these stranded ferry passengers to his house. They were trapped
out this out in the state of Washington. Ferries were canceled because of the
weather, and so people were worried about sleeping on the street or in the
car. And so this worker, his name is William Patterson, int did
all of them, there were ten who were stranded on the ferry to come
to his house to spend the night. Right, so there's somebody from Hawaii
there was there. They had supposedly they had nearbnb reserved, but they couldn't
get to it. Obviously, they couldn't get across the lake, and so
none of them. The y was full, all of the campgrounds were full.
Everything was full. So this fellow says, Okay, well, come
onto my house, Come on to my house, to my we got enough
space. Yeah. The world is full of wonderful people, and that's the
point, full of really great people. This guy is not one of them.
However, another person in the news this week, Alison Mack, television
actor, played guilty for her role in the sex trafficking case. There was
tie I did this cult. She's now out of jail. She was in
she was in Smallville, right that show. Yes, yeah, she played
a young Superman's friend. I don't know who she is. She had that
well known, right, she became more well known because of the sex trafficking
stuff. Well when the show was out, because the show was one of
those big hits, people near her and then I think she kind of fell
up the map. And then she got into the next CIM stuff and she
was found guilty of grooming women basically be sex slaves for the person who was
running NEXTIM. And because she worked with authorities to get this guy, she
got a very lenient sentence. I mean, what was it, five years,
three years, five years? Yeah, I think she's out very a
very very small sentenced put in twenty's still disgusting. Yeah, that she also
haimal amount of time. And it's Jeffrey Epstein on the other side that that's
what this is a different person, but I mean a sex trafficking. That's
kind of what was going on with Epstein, right, yes, yeah,
no, no, small way wow makes people the way they are and that's
yeah, what makes you all? Right? Another person in there who's got
names in the news all over the place from the outrage department, Jordan Williams
charges against him. Accused of fatally stabbing a thirty four year old homeless man
on the subway in New York. Remember that from earlier. He's twenty years
old, charged with criminal possession of a weapon with intent to use, charged
with felony manslaughter. This was on the Jay tran who knows what the jay
train is in Brooklyn, But anyway, he didn't stay. He ran away
from the scene and taken into custody a couple of steps stops away. There
was an investigation, so what do we what do we take away from this?
There are a lot of homeless people speaking of the guy who helped the
people that were on the boat with him, but homeless people all over the
place in New York, Los Angeles. You name him, this name the
city. There's a problem with homeless people. Well, yeah, there was
the veteran who killed the one homeless man, gentleman. Then you have this
situation where but apparently this other subway writer who was who's killed, allegedly punched
Jordan William's girlfriend, was harassing other passengers. I think they were very very
It was very easily proven that this was a self defense situation, and that's
why the grand jury declined to indict him. All Right, I don't know.
I guess I was like a lot of other people. You see this
and then you draw a conclusion that may not be accurate. And so,
at any rate, the situation still homeless guy still did, and so these
people. But maybe we need that psychedelic stuff from Australia to help some of
these people that are homeless, because a lot of them we all have been
there and done that. Listened to some guy yelled as he crosses the street
and he's talking to himself, and it's very disconcerting, there's no question about
that. Very disconcerting, and speaking of that, the Ninth Circuit, which
is probably the most liberal of all of the judge or all of the circuit
courts, has blasted or ruling that they say is paralyzing the West part.
This is the ninth Circuit is for the West coast. So these the circuits
looking at these judges who have taken collective aim at the idea of homeless people
having nowhere to go. And the question that's been brought up in trial after
trial is do these people have the right to sleep on the street or on
the sidewalk, and do they have the right to go poop wherever they want
to? And so this is here we go the left versus the right again.
The liberal judge says, yeah, you can do that. And then
this week there are some scathing comments that came in as a result of this
decision that was made. And so then who knows what's right here? One
group of judges says he isn't right. Another group of judges says, yeah,
it's okay. So there's a big debate about and this is more about,
you know, the politics of I find having experienced homelessness when I lived,
I didn't. I've never been homeless, thank heavens. But I've lived
in a place for a winter in Venice. I've actually had a couple of
opportunities to instead of when I go to California in the wintertime staying in Santa
Monica, which is my preferred community. I got a couple of places,
and this was in a really nice neighborhood. It was a home that was
you know, the head offenses around it, and I got attacked. I
got almost mugged by the homeless. So I have no there's no love on
my part for this. I'd like to see them all sent somewhere else.
That sounds a little a little tough or a little rough, but I don't
like them, Frank, I don't like the whole situation. So it's great
business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off the

Now I have the services of one Nick Miles from our autoexpert dot com.
I see that Honda is recalling certain vehicles because of a break defect. I've
always been interest to well, I know, Honda seems just so plain.
My friend who has the twenty six dealership says he loves the brand. He's
got a couple of Honda dealerships, and I don't know what just they seem.
Maybe it's just that's maybe their secret. They're just bland. They're just
there, and they are usually aren't they. They provide pretty good service,
don't they. Nick they do. The other thing is the Honda of the
makers. They make them small engines in the world, so they make a
lot of engines, and they know how to do it really well, and
they're very reliable, and they go, I mean when you when you turn
the key or you push the button, they actually go, whereas not everybody
does. Right. Yeah, it'd be a good thing. Yeah, it's
it's a hundred and twenty four thousand and seventy seven vehicles. There's actually break
failure, but it's it's somebody at the factory made a mistake. They assemble
things incorrectly. As far as I understand, it's it's on a lot of
different vehicles, certain vehicles from twenty to twenty one, civics, ridgelines,
passports, pilots, and some Accuras as well. So the Accuras get sold.
I sound ignorant when it comes to this, but I don't know that
much about Hondas because they never appealed to me. Can you buy an Accura
at a Honda dealer or do you have to go to a separate dealer.
Yeah, you have to go to a separate dealer. And you have to
have a little more cash too. They're sort of accurate, as Lexus AUDITOI
out of there the luxury end of the Honda line, and they are a
lot nicer they I guess they are Honda with spirit in the vein of how
you began this segment. They are the non plane Hondas. They drive sportily
and they have a lot more luxury to it the versions of Hondas, and
they do very well. By the way, the MDX is the best selling
three row luxury suv in America. Well that's saying something because it looks like
demand for new SUVs or generally speaking, all the things that you'd find at
a conventional dealership, whether it's an suv, a truck, a car,
whatever it is, has found a resurgence. Not that business was ever really
off at the dealerships. It was just that you couldn't get new cars.
So is the fact there are more new cars available? Is that the reason
do you think for the surgeon interest? Yes? I think also people know
that there's interest rates are going up and there's a there's a potential recession on
the way. And when you've when you've had bad times, you take advantage
of good times right, And now that there's knock out there, Once the
fresh fruit comes in from the harvest, you go out and buy it because
it's available. And that's what's happening with the fresh fruit of new vehicles arriving
at dealerships. Our friends and our family are running out there to buy them
because they're newly available and they're sparkling, and they want the car that they've
been denied while the pandemic was on. So as they be more available,
they want more shiny things in their driveway as they should have them. You
know, I am flabbery gas that they cost the average cause of a new
car in America. I can remember buying a friend of mine who is in
trouble. I bought her a new Hyundai back in nineteen eighty five, maybe
for thirty seven hundred dollars. And you look around at the increase my rovers,
for example. I checked that out. Well, the same thing is
true with farm equipment. So should we be surprised that folks are paying an
average of forty five grand per vehicle at this past month? Is that a
surprise? And a pandemic did a lot of weird things. I will say
that it went from around thirty five thousand a year five years ago it jumped
up to close to fifty thousand a year. We have dropped a couple thousands
on the average car, so it is coming down. But this is really
availability, it's supply and demand. It's the old capitalism. It's America.
What happened? And you know, I remember listening to the old guys when
I was a young whipper snapper and saying, look at the prices these days.
They go up. Yes, of course prices go up, but it's
supply and demand. If people want things, then prices go up. They're
in short supply. But we're going to see them come down. It's going
to settle out. There'll be another tragedy next year. Oh that's sorry.
Good. My father bought a brand new nineteen fifty four Chevrolet bel Air for
eighteen hundred dollars and it didn't have even heat. He had to have heat
installed. And this is a new car in nineteen fifty four. Can you
imagine? I E yeah, and today imagine that what comes with all these
cars, no matter where they're built? All right, So, yeah,
that's I didn't hear what she said. Sorry about then, my dad had
adaptive cruise control installed in his first car, so they really HI. There's
