The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in
part by Keltren, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and
keep it off, and also by previgent keeping your brain healthy. The I
have a dream speech that is probably best known for content. Best known of
all of his speech, best known deliverance. Equality. That's what the call
was that day. Equality, identifying the faults of America, what measures are
needed to And I say in the present tense, because then there's a lot
of stuff that still he addressed that we still need to do to make our
country a better place. The central theme in the speech was the importance of
everybody being treated equally. He delivered the speech the twenty eighth of August nineteen
sixty three. He was on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.
So it is Martin, Luther, King, Dave for us. It's a
good opportunity. I think it is ridiculous that children are not in school today.
I always say this is another one of those holidays that is a teachable
moment, and yet we aren't in school. It was promoted by the labor
unions, not that Martin Luther King, and his message doesn't deserve the utmost
of focus and care. But when he died, it was a black representative
named John Conyers and a black Senator named Edward Brooke. He was the first
black senator to ever have been elected from Massachusetts. Very good guy. They
had a bill that made that gut past and how do you say no to
this? Although a lot of southern state senators and congressmen voted against it,
it was in the US House, by the way, it fell short,
but I think it was five votes. Two of the arguments against it where
that it paid holiday for federal employees would be expensive, and that was specious.
I mean, that's not the answer. That's not why you don't do
this. A holiday to honor a private citizen was contrary in a long standing
tradition. It was that these guys didn't like blacks. And this is so
obvious what has happened, what's gone on. But the other side of it
is that we have too many holidays, and so isn't there another way?
Is there a better way to say sort of happy birthday to Martin Luther King?
I think Stevie Wonder started that there was a there was a song that
he released Stevie Wonder in nineteen eighty called Happy Birthday, and it was it
was It was part of a rally for peace, and a lot of signatures
were collected for a petition to Congress to pass the law. It's the largest
petition in favor of something like this ever in the history of our country.
Reagan didn't like it, but and he was talking about cost concerns. There's
a I said it was species. There's a certain element of that, but
that's not why people oppose this. But anyway, in November of eighty three,
j Reagan signed the bill proposed by a representative named Katie Hall to create
a federal holiday, and so it passed the Senate seventy eight to twenty two,
the House by three thirty eight to ninety. Somebody did a good sales
job, and so the first observation was in nineteen eighty six. And then,
you know, because of all of the Monday holiday things. That's why
the labor unions got involved. Move it to a Monday so that we can
have a three day weekend. Well, and this is also one where it
falls on a Monday, but it still falls in his actual birthday. January
fifteenth. Yeah, yeah, right, normally it is not. It's close
to it. But at any rate, there are lots of speeches. Will
take a listen to some of those. But isn't that I resent the opportunity.
We have a lot of ignorance in our country based on racial inequality,
racial injustice, racial problems, lots of it. It doesn't get fixed,
unfortunately, by a slogan that is a Black Lives matter. That doesn't fix
anything. What fixes it is people's attitude, which is inherent, sometimes ingrained.
It's almost in some people that it's in DNA, because there are certain
parts of the country, certain mindsets, even in certain religions, there is
a thought that we're better than you. You're not, nobody's better than anybody
else. But that doesn't keep people on all sides, blacks, whites,
you name it, we're better because and I think that there's no better example
of that, Frankly, and then these all these award shows last night,
I think some people I had forgotten that the Critics Choice Award was on last
night. I forgot it existed. Yeah right, yeah, So it was
nice. It was a it was kind of a lot like the awards show
from what was the SAG not the SAG Awards. What we have that's the
thing. You got the Critics Choice Award. You have the one that was
last week. It was the the used to be with the Golden Globe what
used to be the what was it the International House of Pancakes or whatever the
heck the name of the group was that they put it together. And then
there's Primetime Emmies tonight, and then there's the SAG Awards, and then there's
the Oscars. Are not leaving out? There's one more I'm leaving out.
It seems to me. Well, then you how all the other like additional
ones were what is it People's Choice Awards and People's Choice that's right, have
all the music ones and yeah, yeah, okay, so anyway, the
Grammys, et cetera. So speaking of that award show from last night,
I don't know, James, whether you found some stuff. There was some
pretty interesting moments. There were some shows that won, uh the let's see
Jim Betty, Jim Betty Giamatti. I have a friend named Jim Betty Giamatty
one again for that movie, which is a penetrating movie, thoughtful movie about
a youngster in a New England school that has problems and Giamatti as a teacher
addresses them. It's a really it's a heartwarming story. It's a little heavy.
That's a good role for him, although I think the best role they
ever played was the US attorney in Billions. I think that, and he's
been around for a long time. He's good actor. And then they're the
succession one again. I love seeing Sarah schnirk Uh and her outfit was much
more conservative last night than it was last week. And it was a good
night for Uh, for Oppenheimer. And there are a couple of other kind
of offbeat movies, but it just the way and I know it's it sounds
like some people there's a category or category ease of things that people do,
how they dress, how they carry themselves. That kind of is in It's
kind of up yours. Chelsea Handler was the hostess that she was a good
choice. She gave the she gave Reese Witherspoon and Daniston's kind of a hard
time. The two of them star on the TV show Morning Show. It's
a good that's a good show. I heard that the game I want to
watch it is a good one. Yeah, it's very good. Two of
them very good in it. Obviously, by looking at the body language of
the two of them last night when they were sitting together at the table,
they have a good friendship going, which is kind of fun. That's one
of the reasons people watch these shows is because they want to see who the
stars have as friends. And I'm thinking about Giamidi got the award from Oprah
last night. Obviously they don't know each other at all. It was a
very awkward moment when he took the award from her and they tried to You
know, most of the time, if they have some kind of a casual
relationship or a good relationship, you can see it, you can feel it,
you know, the energy that goes. And I don't mean the kind
of stuff that on Extra Extra all of those reporters, Oh, here's my
good friend Jennifer Lopez, and Jennifer says, I who are you? You
know that kind of stuff. So, anyway, she got a new movie
coming out. She's a dance She does the whole thing. Do you know
that that? Lopez has a like a big movie about dancing, and she
produced it, directed it, She came up with a music for it.
She does dancing in it. She's the star of it. Looks they'd be
pretty sure she is a quadruple threat. Yeah. Well she's also happy and
you can see that once again. It's that body language thing, all right.
She's with the person that she wants to be with. And doesn't that
do it for a lot of people, men and women. I don't know.
Affleck still looks like a stiff. Last week when he and Matt Damon
gave an award, he looked I know, he didn't look like he was
comfortable. He and Matt Damon I like brothers, and so you can always
tell that the two of them are friends, very close friends, like brothers.
But Damon was much more a least. He wasn't there last night,
though I was surprised about that because he likes to be there. Christopher Nolan
won. Anyway, I'm not rambling, but I'm thinking there's a lot of
stuff going on that's tied together, and if I can circle back to Marrow
Luther King Day and how we best not acknowledge him. But because it isn't
about him, it's but the message, right, the medium is the message.
The guy who was a broadcaster came up with that. Marshall mccluhan was
his name. The medium is the message, and being on the steps in
Washington that was a powerful, powerful way for that message to come across.
And so the more activity there is around it, the more people make a
genuine a time I talk about fluff nutters like Al Sharpton, I'm talking about
real people who really respect. If it's skin color or whatever. White people
are respecting Black people not because of the color of their skin, but because
who they are. Black people are same thing. It's not about the color
of your skin, not to be. It's about who you are and how
you come across. Maybe that's one of the lessons I think great listens of
Martin Luther King. It is halfway through the month of January, and our
update on certain things from the social media world. Celebrities who are on the
list if you will the trending list, which includes jelly Roll. I find
that interesting. This is all brought to you by Progressive Insurance, which will
bring you oder what huh your owner If you're an owner of a motorcycle or
a boat or a car, RB get protection everywhere you can save do a
lot of an eight hundred Progressive as the number or online at Progressive dot Com
CIVU play. So jelly Roll is advocating for something that's pretty powerful, and
he did it. He presented his thoughts in a pretty powerful way. All
Right, First of all, what can you tell me Jay or James about
Jelly Role, because honestly, I am not familiar with jelly Roll. Don't
know who Jelly Role is. Oh, he's an amazing artist, country singer,
but kind of a little bit of a crossover. He got his name
jelly Roll. That was the nickname his mom gave him when he was younger.
He was quote unquote a chubby kidd and it just always stuck and he
owned it. Name is Jason DeFord, his real name. So he's talking
a lot about the whole business of fentanyl and the problems that we're having,
and has talked about it at the Senate Banking Committee. The fend Act came
up. Call it's a it's fending off fentanyl and fentanyl and the problems.
He says, I've quote witnessed the heartbreaking impact of fentanyl as he fans experiences.
So he's been pretty candidate. Did he have a problem too, Well,
he has overcome drug addiction and he all so he talks about how he's
not able to vote. That right was taken away from him when he was
sixteen years old. He is convicted of a felony. He had used a
gun to steal weed and he was charged as an adult, so he'll never
be able to do any of that. But he's a big advocate in the
fight against ventanyl and also pointing out that it's not just drug addicts aren't just
what you perceive or what you always see in the movies. A lot of
these are mothers, these are fathers, these are brothers, sisters, aunts,
uncles. These are people who were in a car accident and were prescribed
medication and then fell down into that hole there. They are people who didn't
just like what a lot of people think, drug addiction is just a bunch
of scumbags, and that could not be farther from the truth. And he
is advocating on that and saying that fentanyl is an epidemic, something that we
already know and it needs to be addressed, and he is a huge advocate
in that fight against fetanyl. Well, he's doing a good job at making
it a real public issue, so good for him. Hopefully this will all
get taken care of, getting the passing of the fend Act taken care of.

Hot tea hot chocolate remedy for the cold weather going across the country this
week, I'm Doug Stephan with Jennifer Horn and Jay Kirshner to celebrate cold.
It's even cold California, where it's not what is it? What's the temperature
right now where you are? And on the other side of the hill this
morning it's forty six? Oh is it for all week? Fifty six?
Forty six for a weekend? Long? It was thirty nine when I woke
up, and I was getting up early this weekend, So yeah, thirty
nine degrees and there's the frost on the lawn, which you know is always
exciting when you're a California because that's all we get. So right, stop
while you're ahead, navigating trouble. That's the name of the game. Here.
We have a lot of I'm sorry to interrupt. I was watching because
you know Iowa, the Iowa caucuses are today, and so a lot of
coverage has been going on there. It looks really dang cold, got it?
I don't oh, I don't know, like I don't even know how
to understand minus nine. I don't know what that looks like. And it
seems awful. There's plenty of that Cleveland and experience it it's okay. That's
all right. I like to stream about it. It's a challenge is being
warm and staying healthy on its own. Cold is not a big deal.
Cold is actually good for you. I have found on the farm and it's
talking of like with one of my farming friends yesterday. The cold weather in
and of itself is not unhealthy for you or for animals unless it's moist cold.
If it's wet cold, if it's snow cold, rain cold. If
you're wet and cold, very dangerous. You'll get all kinds of stuff and
the animals as well. But if you're dry you won't. It's good for
The air is actually better when it's colder. The things that are bad that
are buggy viruses things like that that are transmitted don't like the cold, and
so they aren't transmitted as well. They are transmitted, but they're not transmitted
as well. The cold weather is much better. The air is better to
breathe. People say, well, what about people that have pulmonary issues and
they got in the cold and they take it to take a big deep breath
and then it gets like that. So you got to be smart about it
and make sure that you know what challenges your body needs to be able to
overcome. And what challenges that are put in front of you with regard to
your body make you sick. Yeah, to know what makes you better.
Got to know your body. That's your job, not the doctor's job,
not it's nobody's job, but yours. To keep up with what's going on.
And people who whine and complain, Oh it's cold, I'm suffering.
Now, You're not suffering unless you don't take care of your body. And
then all the yukabangalungas will get in there and employ their best means to make
you sick. Don't be afraid of the cold weather, be afraid of the
shape that your body is in because you're not taking good share and good care
of it. It's a challenge. I know. There are lots of things
that are put in front of you. Buy this eat that you know,
it's not the stuff that's around to eat, not that great. Frankly,
I saw something yesterday, ladies, and doing my research for the farm show
American Family Farmer this week, I was looking at some of the things that
have been well, let's say, over the last ten twenty years, what's
changed in our diets and how has it changed? We much many more people
depending on eating out don't eat at home at all. So I would ask
Jennifer and Jay how many times a week do the two of you go?
And going out isn't necessarily bad in and of itself. It's the choices that
you make when you go out to eat or not. You know, it's
a lot of things that happen when you go out to eat. One of
them is where you eat. But go ahead, Jim, I would say
probably much. I want to say the weekends twice because I do a meal
delivery service that I've been doing for a few months now. Oh Kaice.
Really it's a really changed my life. It is so much easier. I
don't have to act. That's a good I don't get paid by them,
but I'll just name them because I think they're really good. And they're it's
called Factor and they put together healthy meals. You can choose your diet,
whether it's vegan, or it's low calorie, or it's high protein or keto
whatever. You can put together your diet and you pick the meals that you
want and they're delivered to your house every day, or excuse me, not
every day. Every week, and it's helped me. I mean, I've
lost some weight. I don't have to think when I come home like what
I have to cook? Especially when it's just me. It's much harder for
me when I work from four o'clock in the morning till seven o'clock at night,
and then I'm like, Okay, what am I I'm exhausted, what
am I going to cook? And then that was when takeout was always a
better option for me, because I was exhausted and I didn't want to have
to cook a full meal just for myself. So these delivery meals have really
really helped me. I love I'm so yeah. I know. Factor.
I use it too because I'm in the same boat as you. I always
work and I don't have time to cook all the time. And they do
frozen meals so you can just pop them in the microwave as well. And
yeah, you can do frozen meals as well, popula. Oh no,
just let's let's stove the conversation right there. If you put stuff in the
microwave, all of the value in I'm talking about the molecular structure or value
and people say, oh here it goes again. You can know it eat
it. It might taste good, but the value of the food that you
put into the microwave after it comes out of the microwave is not the same
as it was when you put it in. The molecular structure changes, and
it doesn't have the same impact health wise on your body. From me,
I mean, it's still better than going to like Jack in the Box or
McDonald's most Oh my god, yes, yeah, for a young man who
isn't the greatest at cooking, is a better alternative. I'm getting better.
I do cook. I'm shocked to hear that, Jay, Are you shocked
to hear that James is not that good at cooking? Shocking? You know?
I like about it is. I've tried other like services before that are
dying. They don't feel like they use real food like I feel like they
use real food in the fact or it's like astronaut stuff. It's like powdered
exactly. Tang tang again, not sponsored here, not sponsored. No listen,
even if we were, we could twist it and turn it around and
make something good of it. All right, So, Jay Bird, what
about you and the family or husband? Oh? I love eating out.
My husband and I we are big fans of eating out. We cook and
stuff too, but I like to There are certain things that I just feel
like I cook better than other places, so I will make those and then
I won't eat out for those situations, like those specific meals. But then
other things I love it, Like there's this one place that's near us and
they have the best tuna burger is like an Ahei steak and it isn't a
burger and it is just so stinking good. I'd probably eat out like four
times a week, do you at minimum? I don't know how to qualify
my eating out because I don't eat out by myself if I'm with Like last
week, I had a businessman's luncheon and we all had Yeah, we have
as a group of people framing a business association, and so we all get
together once a month and have lunch and talk about the issues that are affecting
the community. And so that's where I might go out. Or we all
were very busy on the farm this weekend and we actually ate out twice,
everybody, the whole crew and I. We stopped at a not a Chipotle,
What's another Moe Joe's or something Joe's Moe's whatever it is. It's a
mos yeah, and it's like Chipotle rice beans. Because the couple of guys
who work for me in Jamaicans and that's what they eat. So I stop
because everybody likes it. A couple of them had some meat in it,
Delroy, and I didn't. I had just a bunch of veggies and it
was really good. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Just a little snitch of spice
to it, but it was really you know, it's veggies and beans and
you know, all the things that when you come in they go out.
It helps to keep your working, if you know what I mean. So
anyway, the reason that I bring it up is because it is the whole
business about eating and the food quality and things. We're really we're allowing ourselves
to be destroyed, frankly, in any number of ways. And I mean
this from the bottom of my heart. One of the reasons that I started
doing the American Family Farmer Show, which the weekend show the turn on many
of these same stations, focusing on farming small farmers and what they're doing and
how it's working. There are two things that are going on in the country
this week that ought to be at the center of our attention. It probably
won't be, although I'm gonna guess that the revelation of how much land this
Chinese communist guy has in America and the fact that he's owned it for ten
years, I think this is going to make it. Jay Jennifer, Jennifer,
I would like you to talk about this this morning on your Caralei program.
This guy has secretly purchased two hundred thousand dollars worth of farmland in America
over the past ten years. Now, I know he's not but he's the
biggest one, I think. Yeah. One of the scariest things I think
that nobody reports on, like nobody, is the fact that China is buying
up all of the space, all of this farmland, and particularly near our
military installation. Why is it, though, that the news media is not
I don't know that are permitting this. Yeah, And I don't care if
you're a Democrat or a Republican, I don't care what you are. But
whoever's like allowing this to happen, it's a I mean, this is ridiculous.
We're letting them infiltrate from the inside. And I'm not saying all Chinese
people are bad. But anybody dumps out of China with money is working for
the Chinese Communist Party. It's a fact exactly. And the anybody who leaves
China to come here defecting doesn't come here with a whole ton of money.
So it's just those are other people that we're concerned about it at all.
The Chinese people not any different than a lot of Mexicans or people that come
from Guatemala, or people that come from Vietnam. They want to come and
make their lives better, all right. So that's issue number one. Number
two is the measurement of how much help farmers have gotten from the Trump administration
or the Biden administration. Now from either I would guess, well, that's
very astute. Yeah, that's true. I mean, if we're going to
have taxes and we're going to take care of the people who provide us with
food on one hand, but we have the giant agg businesses that did they
got billions out of the Trump administration. And if you look at if you
if you if you measure net farm income, the net farm income has gone
up. You know how Jay and I were talking about this, and I
think I said this to you, Jen. When we had dinner, you
and your dad and I were talking about Trump because both you and your dad
loved Trump the idea of where we are as far as what we have in
our pocket. We have more money in our pocket now than we did with
Trump was I mean, we had more money with Trump than we do with
Biden. Farmers not so much. Farmers have done better under the Biden administration
they did under Trump. Something that we can explain through the course of the
week, but it's something to hold on to, at least holding your head
to ask questions about. So it's great business time for Caldron. I would
think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people to be ordering nauseum.

hour of the Good Day program. We focus sometimes on trending things and names,
and then I think it's also important for Jay and Jen and I and
you to discuss among ourselves what's going on in general social media. There was
an episode of Yellowstone last night. One of the sub texts, if you
will, is one of the son's wives teaches in a high school, and
she had a class outside because she wanted the kids to get away from the
normal. When she walked into the classroom, they're all on there. They're
all texting, they're on their social media, they're on their devices. So
she very interesting. I mean, it's real commentary on what's going on today.
So she asked the class to meet outside so they can enjoy nature.
So they're outside and they're all on their devices, and so she goes through.
As a matter of fact, James, do me your favorite will you
go? If you go find that excerpt, I would like to use that
audio that this lady how she had monished the class for what they're doing to
their brains and to their lives. See if you can find that exact quote,
because I want to play that. The reason that I'm focused on that
is because a lot of parents are reacting to a law in Florida banning social
media for children under sixteen, which I would be wholeheartedly one hundred and fifty
percent in support of. And the supporters say they agree with the sponsors that
social media is harmful for children. Opponents listen to this say banning social media
for children would be an overreach, God bless you. I love these people,
aren't you, and impossible to enforce. That's not your business. Pass
the bill and let the enforcers take care of it or not, but pass
the bill as a landmark. So you want to know what's in the bill.
Social media platform is going to have to prohibit any new accounts for anybody
under sixteen in Florida, the lead existing accounts for children under sixteen. It
would be a requirement for a third party to conduct age verification. Restrictions would
not apply to platforms where direct messaging is the primary function of the application.
What would be an example of that pro porn probably like pornography sites like you
porn or something. Probably I don't know exactly how they verify, but I
just I wish that as the libertarian streak and me just wishes that parents could
do this on their own because they got to be hate bringing in more government,
because with more government comes more corruption. Like I don't want the government
anywhere near social media companies, and unfortunately they're far too close already, and
so that kind of thing really bothers me. But I don't know, And
why is it the government's business to do this? Yeah? Right, And
it's still it's not because I love social media for young people. It's just
I think that should be really on the parent. The parents aren't doing their
job and they're the creators of the problem. The bill, this positive bill
say that the bill is filed because social media can be harmful. Yeah,
the mental health portion of this is very much on the mind I think of
a lot of people. Why is not on the minds of the grooming situations?
And and there are something media It might it like grooming for not human
trafficking, but I mean people meet the wrong people. Yeah, there's all
kinds of dangers that go even far beyond mental health. And even though mental
health should be a top priority, but even some parents who could have the
strictest household their children are not able to do certain things. They could use
a friend's phone easily to have an account, and they can still hide it.
It's not like it's an absentee parent situation. Yeah. Anyway, there's
the one person said, well, I agree to a certain point that it's
harmful for any team to be consistently on social media because it can become addicting
maybe something where they are dependent. They drive their inner self esteem. They
derive their self esteem from what social media says. Anyway, so this is
something we can take Florida apart for a lot of the things that are initiatives
there legally, but I think this one, even if it isn't the state's
job, somebody's got to do something at least this starts the conversation, all
right. The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made
