I saw this and I thought, wow, wow, wow wow. 24 00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:07,319 The story from a Missouri hospital reportedly performed amputations on dozens of people who 25 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:15,560 suffered frostbite during the cold spell. A few Kansas City Chief fans, Who 26 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,240 why do you do this? Why do you go to a football game and 27 00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:23,199 sit out? You that crazy about the Dolphins or anybody? The temperatures inside 28 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:29,039 the stadium were below zero and you sat there for what three hours? Good 29 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:34,240 buck? Yeah? And if you weren't dressed appropriately, you didn't have something 30 00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:37,840 covering your hands in your face and a lot of times, you know, 31 00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:40,719 at sporting events, people get a little bit not even a little bit, 32 00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:46,000 but like super loose with the adult beverages. And yeah, then they feel 33 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,560 like they're heating up, so they take they take things off, or they 34 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,319 take off their jackets or something. But then you also have those fans who 35 00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:55,879 they don't care what the temperature is. They painted their chest and by golly, 36 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,639 they're going to take their shirt off at some point so people can see 37 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:06,240 their chin. I mean nuts, why you so nuts? Nuts? Nuts, 38 00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:09,360 nuts. So anyway, some of these people I had frostby when I 39 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:15,360 was a kid, but I managed to have anything amputated. I just when 40 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,520 it gets really cold like it did during that same period of time. It's 41 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:23,240 really cold here in the Northeast, and my hands were purple and my feet 42 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,080 were always cold when I would go out. But fortunately I didn't get it. 43 00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:32,360 I didn't. I didn't stay out in the cold. So this what 44 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:38,240 does it do to your life though, to not have fingers and do not 45 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:43,759 have toes and to have hypothermia thermia all the time. I said it again, 46 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:50,360 Doug, hypothermia. It's pretty it was really cold. This is during 47 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,479 the you know, are we going to call this the Kelsey era now? 48 00:03:53,520 --> 00:04:00,479 Because he's gotten so much attention he does a podcasts. He's always had attention. 49 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,840 He's just garnered a new audience now. As far as the football world 50 00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:08,400 is concerned, we've all known his name. He has already has been his 51 00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:11,439 star. Yeah, he has star quality on his own. But now there's 52 00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:16,120 a whole new audience that didn't know who he was and weren't as avid football 53 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,600 fans. Mm hmmm. So how did the if the people sitting in the 54 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:28,079 stands had this same this this dreaded horrible circumstance. Why the players who sit 55 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,600 on the bench, for example, how they keep them warm? Do they 56 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,000 have warmer Yeah, they're heated bens and then if you they do get wrapped 57 00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:41,120 up with heated like jacket thingies. Yeah. And then they also have things 58 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,639 these like giant space heaters that are over in the area too. Got it? 59 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,000 Okay, all right, here's the latest from the Biden camp. They're 60 00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:56,959 chasing Trump around because Trump has been floating the idea of cutting social Security to 61 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,959 curb the debt. That'll go over like a red balloon the people who would 62 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:05,399 normally support Trump, and so Biden jumps right in there. They have seized 63 00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:12,720 on the opportunity, if you will, The entitlement programs are the most expensive 64 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,959 part medicare. And you know, so scary that sort of thing. So 65 00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:24,000 at any rate, Biden wrote on his own account, quote not my watch, 66 00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:27,759 not on my watch. Nope, it's not going to happen anyway. 67 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:34,519 The election fight is on, and there's this back and forth, and so 68 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,319 what do we believe? We don't? Why do we even you know what? 69 00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:43,720 I ask myself this all the time, why do we get suckered into 70 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,639 these conversations because they're meaningless. All they do is provide I suppose, fodder 71 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:53,920 for conversation, but these guys never do. Paula, when's the last time 72 00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:58,959 you know of a serious politician who did everything that he or she promised to 73 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,319 do, even whether it's a local, it's a mayor, and they well, 74 00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:08,879 let's see, that's it. So there's this back and forth of foolishness 75 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:14,560 on social media. What a waste of time. There's fraudulent on both sides. 76 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,000 It's just so much YadA, YadA, YadA. You know what is 77 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,360 a good exchange? These two guys when they get together, there won't be 78 00:06:21,399 --> 00:06:26,759 a it'll not be a healthy exchange. I watched on News Nation last night 79 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:34,959 Chris Cuomo with what's his face? Now, that's what's the guy that I 80 00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:42,319 always say that I don't think he's very smart. Tyler, not Tyler the 81 00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:46,800 kid. They got fired from Fox the same way Cuomo got fired from He 82 00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:50,920 went over his interview, putin nothing ringing about Yeah. Yeah, well it's 83 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,959 because we never talk about these guys, so they don't they're not on the 84 00:06:55,959 --> 00:07:01,399 top of our Yeah yeah, right, so Tucker Carlson. That's how much 85 00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:05,439 I put people who I don't care for out of my mind, including their 86 00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:13,120 names, half the time. So Cuomo and Carlson have done this interview and 87 00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:16,959 pieces of it are on News Nation and Tucker apparently is going to play it 88 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:24,519 today on his ex account, and they go into their relationship, which has 89 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:30,360 not necessarily been all that great. Carlson used to love to take shots at 90 00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:35,360 Cuomo when he was on CNN. Apparently the two of them are not friends, 91 00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:40,759 but they were friendly, and it was a very enlightening conversation. I 92 00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:44,399 enjoyed it. Frankly, I enjoyed listening to the two of them. I 93 00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:50,360 ate my opinion about Tucker Carlson hasn't changed at all. His but he's and 94 00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:54,639 he admitted to some of the things that he does. It's sounded sort of 95 00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:00,879 an opportunist. I just thought it was good to see two guys who aren't 96 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,800 friends be friendly and be you know, in a sense. They were warm 97 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:13,160 and fuzzy with each other. But they acknowledged how they approach the issues of 98 00:08:13,199 --> 00:08:16,519 the day when they talk about them on their television programs, and they also 99 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:24,160 approached how Carlson, probably more than Cuomo took him apart, took him to 100 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,600 task for things, kind of made fun of him, and it was it 101 00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:35,279 was It wasn't brutally honest, but it was a feel good kind of conversation. 102 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:41,200 Cuomo asked him some legitimate questions about why he didn't ask various questions of 103 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,799 Putin and that, but it was just if you get a chance to watch 104 00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:48,240 it either on a news nation in the evening, he's on at eight o'clock 105 00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:52,840 Eastern, that is Cuomo or Tucker Carlson, I don't even know. Can 106 00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:56,279 you check the schedule, Jay, just for the heck of it for me 107 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,879 and tell me when this stuff because I don't mind promoting it at all. 108 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,240 I think it's good, healthy viewering. I think it's a good way for 109 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,919 you to kind of get a sense of what's real. You know, it's 110 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:15,879 it's a real conversation that you don't hear very often. You just hear huffery 111 00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:18,320 and puffery. That's why I said, I was having that conversation with you 112 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:24,399 because of the Biden and Trump back and forth. That's not a real conversation. 113 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,320 It is nothing about that. It's real. It's just bunk them. 114 00:09:30,039 --> 00:09:35,279 But it didn't I didn't feel that way. Carlson came across well, Como 115 00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:39,200 came across well. And so it's worth your time if you're interested in the 116 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:45,200 news, you're interested in conversation about what these cable channels are all about. 117 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:52,360 They both talk very frankly about being fired from Tucker Carlson's case, Fox and 118 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:58,559 in Colmo's case it was CNN, And they don't seem to care that much 119 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,799 about it at this point. And so what do you do? Even if 120 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,840 you do care, what are you gonna do? You move on? I've 121 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,120 all we've all of us in this business, radio and television. I've been 122 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,200 fired. Let's see how many times, three four times from various radio stations 123 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,919 I work for it. That's one of the reasons that I do this program 124 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,879 because nobody's gonna fire me because it's my program. Yeah right, who's gonna 125 00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:31,559 fire me? No? Anyway, So it's it's very much. Did you 126 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,960 see what? Did you check to see what it looks like? It already 127 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,519 aired, but you can watch it on the Tucker Carlson Network. Okay, 128 00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:46,879 it's John X right or is that just a whole big YouTube channel. I 129 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,720 just want people to be aware. I watch it. It's good, it's 130 00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:54,080 very good. Here's something else that's very good.

Jay was just telling me that Facebook has been down. I haven't 144 00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:05,279 been on Facebook for about a week, so I don't know what.

And so I'm looking lady that has an interesting story good news. 157 00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:07,360 You've asked for good news? What did you hear about?

I could tell 160 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,360 the grandparents were struggling to pay for the food, so I stepped up to 161 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:24,440 the cashier and paid for their meal as a birthday treat. Isn't that? 162 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,360 Now? That's a jan I wish I could send you something I'm going to 163 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,159 kiss and a love What a great don't you? Sweet? Sweet?

All right, here's some info on 165 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:43,039 the technical number side of social media, because every hour during this portion of 166 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:48,720 the r we focus on either communications that we've had, people that are trending, 167 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:54,960 or stories like this one. Three quarters of US teens say they feel 168 00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:01,679 happy or peaceful when they don't have their phones with them. How about that? 169 00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:05,320 For research? This is not what you would expect to hear. Right. 170 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,720 This is a survey that was published by the Pew Research Center. Probably 171 00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:15,360 America is foremost and most reliable and most trustworthy of all the research centers that 172 00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:18,679 do all kinds of polling and that sort of thing. So these folks found 173 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:26,360 that despite the positive association with going phone free, most teens have not limited 174 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:31,399 their phone or social media use. So they admit to it being good for 175 00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:35,840 them, but that doesn't mean that they do it. And there's it to 176 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:41,279 talk about an oxymoron. But as we know, a lot of people in 177 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:48,120 government, policymakers, that sort of thing, advocates are growing increasingly concerned with 178 00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:54,279 youngsters through their teen years and their phones, the relationship social media, that 179 00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:56,399 kind of stuff. Well, there's so much content that I mean, there's 180 00:14:56,559 --> 00:15:01,720 we already know in society there's not enough emphasis on mental health, and then 181 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,039 you have social media telling you that people are living certain lives whether or not 182 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,519 it's there. It's all highlight reels, and nobody knows that you have bullying 183 00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:11,759 at an all time high because now it doesn't end when the bell rings. 184 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,919 People take it home with them on social media and then also putting your self 185 00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:22,759 worth into posting something and how many people like it, how many people commented 186 00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:26,559 on all of that, and then the constant connection our brains were not developed 187 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,960 to be like, yes, we're we are pack animals to a degree, 188 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,639 but we're not supposed to be connected to everything all at once at all times, 189 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,480 inundated with so much news from everywhere. I remember growing up and we 190 00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:43,200 knew, we knew what was happening in our hometown and it had to be 191 00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:46,840 really, like really big news to like national news to know about something to 192 00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,879 otherwise it was local stuff. It was in our hometown, in our state. 193 00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:54,799 Things like that. Now we know everything going on everywhere. And also 194 00:15:54,960 --> 00:16:00,879 people expect immediate responses. If somebody calls you things you to answer, call 195 00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:07,919 them back immediately. They text you. Sometimes I don't know. Yeah, 196 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,159 I cannot stand when somebody text me they're like, hey, I need to 197 00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:11,480 talk to you, call me. When you can't, just if you need 198 00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:14,759 to talk to me, call me, don't make me tell me you need 199 00:16:14,799 --> 00:16:22,360 to talk to me. There's a big fight brewing between the legislative and the 200 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,519 well the business community. If I'm going to be brought about this, and 201 00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:30,919 I don't think I really am. I want to be specific about big pharma 202 00:16:30,159 --> 00:16:38,159 here and how we pay more money for things like Eloquist and Zerelto and some 203 00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:42,519 of these other drugs that you see advertised all over the place. Every spot 204 00:16:42,559 --> 00:16:47,000 break on radio and television has a drug commercial in it. And I'm not 205 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,440 biting the hand. Well, maybe I am biting the hand that feeds me, 206 00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:55,759 because this stuff is out of control. And when the question came up 207 00:16:55,799 --> 00:17:00,519 earlier about why does vegetable prices why do they keep going up and up and 208 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,720 up, and I explained that on the air and off the air, same 209 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:11,200 question can be asked about the program on especially seniors who take a lot of 210 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:18,759 Eloquist for example in zerelto the cost of this stuff the profit level. Now, 211 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,799 granted, it takes a lot of money to develop a drug, no 212 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,480 question about it. But why is it that everybody else, literally every other 213 00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:33,599 country in the world that has these same drugs, people pay much less for 214 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:40,680 the drugs then we pay for them here. Yeah, so Biden wants to 215 00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:47,839 lower it even just getting everything right, Yeah, it's crazy. So now 216 00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:53,079 the big pharma has brought their lawyers, the big guns in to fight a 217 00:17:53,200 --> 00:18:02,160 vigorous legal battle against the plan to lower the prescription drug costs. So the 218 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,240 federal system, judges, et cetera around the country are being asked to invalidate 219 00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:12,440 the program that's trying to aim that's aiming to reduce the price of medications. 220 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,640 Now I am not I don't have to I mean, why do I have 221 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,000 to say this every time? I don't know why I do what I do. 222 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,440 I'm not a Biden guy. I don't care that much about what he's 223 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:30,720 done. But this is a general informational piece that is now there's so many 224 00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:36,440 there's a flurry of lawsuits everywhere, the drug makers blasting the government, blasting 225 00:18:36,519 --> 00:18:44,160 Biden. They say that government control is unconstitutional. They're pricing practices are legitimate, 226 00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:49,279 and the future cures that might come from all of this and may you 227 00:18:49,319 --> 00:18:52,319 know, be affected, the research might be affected, et cetera, etcetera, 228 00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:56,640 etcetera. So as the story in the Washington Post today about the legal 229 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:02,839 wrangling that is probably going to get to the Supreme Court, And so, 230 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,519 what does this do to the government's ability to regulate healthcare prices? Should the 231 00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:12,160 government be involved? Should this be free market? The public? The health 232 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:18,720 system in most countries where it is successful, is run by the government. 233 00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:22,960 As much as that hurts excuse me, it hurts me to say that you 234 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,240 can't run a hospital anymore, and you can't seem to. I mean, 235 00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:30,440 look at the state of the hospitals around the country. For profit hospitals there 236 00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:37,119 my own community, a Framingham Union Hospital Metro West Medical Center is a prime 237 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,519 example. It sucks. Nobody wants to go there anymore. When I had 238 00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:44,920 my incident the other day with my lung breaking my ribs, I didn't go 239 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,240 to the local hospital. I went to the one in Newton because it's so 240 00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:52,200 much better. I don't want to go to this one. And most of 241 00:19:52,240 --> 00:20:00,480 the big hospital systems that are not for profit are better off than the ones 242 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,839 that are for profit. Now again this sort of somebody's going to send me 243 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:10,440 a note Again at what a hypocrite I am. I'd like to be consistent, 244 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:15,079 But I don't think that the financial strain on older Americans is good for 245 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,759 older Americans, and thus I don't believe the system is serving the people. 246 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:25,759 I mean, all these drugs are made, the pharmaceutical industry makes, specifically 247 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,640 these most of these drugs for older people, and they count on the insurance 248 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,319 companies to pay their sky high prices. In the insurance companies say no, 249 00:20:34,519 --> 00:20:40,640 we're not going to and so then what do they do? Anyway, So 250 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:48,279 the Inflation Reduction Act has pinpointed the price of drugs from Bristol Myers and squib 251 00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:53,079 and Novardis and all these other drug companies, and the lawyers are having a 252 00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:56,880 field. They imagine they charge seven hundred and fifty dollars an hour these lawyers 253 00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:02,720 to just and I'm sure there are some that are more expensive than that. 254 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,599 Right, So then you have the people who are a retainer, so they 255 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,880 just have those additional fees just for existing within the network. Very frustrating. 256 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:18,440 All right, here's the story from Saint Louis. But a television station anchor 257 00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:25,759 apologizing on the air, I think this is so ridiculous. We are so 258 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:33,799 out of we're getting ourselves crazy about the woke world. The television station here 259 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,160 that why is woke bad? I don't understand that. Well, I don't 260 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,960 know. Maybe it's the principle. I don't know that it is. I 261 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,440 don't even know what it really is. It's maybe I should refer to it 262 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:52,599 as politically correct. So an anchor used what the management admitted to being outdated 263 00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:59,559 and offensive, referring to black homeowners as colored. Okay, maybe that's not 264 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,559 the way that we refer to black homeowners these days colored people. When I 265 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:11,200 was a youngster, they were called colored people, and then what so then 266 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,519 they became black, and then they became African American. And I don't use 267 00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:18,599 this just to refer to you know, it's not just about black people. 268 00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:23,079 It's the whole thing. This television station, by the way, is owned 269 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,200 by CBS. It's not like it was in the boondocks. And so the 270 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:33,640 Saint Louis Post Dispatch has a story about the story was about homeowners of color. 271 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,359 It's Black History Month last month, so that was when this took place, 272 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:45,079 and then the era was acknowledged and the viewers got an apology from the 273 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,319 manager of the station. This was almost like a Ron Bergety moment where in 274 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,440 the movie the Paris character will read anything that is on the teleprompter, and 275 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,400 the wrong wording was on the teleprompter and the anchor just read without even thinking, 276 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,640 Yeah, so why is that a hanging offense? Pardon the use of 277 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:11,799 the of the phrase, but still racist. But it's still racism. It 278 00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:18,359 is, Yes, racism is racism across the board, even if why is 279 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,920 it? But why is the term? Why is a word? It's attitude 280 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,720 and its action that it would seem to me, will is predicated or the 281 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:33,160 the business of our racism is predicated that way. Not if you refer to 282 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,960 somebody as a colored person after all, as black a color, colored person, 283 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,119 as it could be any number of things, maybe it's not appropriate and 284 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:47,400 maybe it's not acceptable in today's world for whatever the reason. But why are 285 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,799 we driving ourselves crazy with all of this stuff? Why is it for us 286 00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:56,519 to say when we come from a race that was never oppressed, Oh that's 287 00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:00,160 not true. White people have been oppressed in the in ancient time. Yeah, 288 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,200 the Jews are white for the most part, and they were oppressed. 289 00:24:03,319 --> 00:24:07,880 There's plenty of oppression to go around for every race, color, and creed, 290 00:24:08,279 --> 00:24:12,440 which brings us back to the core question is for me is why are 291 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:18,920 we so concerned? Why are we so aware? Why are we so prejudice? 292 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,960 You hear me all the time talking about why is it that we have 293 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,359 to focus what a shame, what a ridiculous state of affairs that we have 294 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:32,319 to acknowledge the first black woman to go into space, or the first woman 295 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,519 to go into space, or the first whatever. You never hear that about 296 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,640 men, and because men are always going on first. But I agree with 297 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,559 you. The fact that it's twenty twenty four and we still are only getting 298 00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:48,079 the first of certain things. That's still that's suppression. Still. Yeah, 299 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:53,160 anyway, it's discouraging, especially in an era where we need all work to 300 00:24:53,200 --> 00:25:00,680 be together and be on the same page and try to get along. It's 301 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,880 very well, that's my always question when people use woke as like a bad 302 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:11,079 thing. I don't understand why it's bad. Wellference and discrimination, prejudice, 303 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,400 okay, yeah, and it's it's being alert to racial prejudice and discrimination. 304 00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:19,440 And then it's in the recent years has come to include sexism and the denial 305 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,079 of LGBT rights. Why so, again, I always ask, why is 306 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,000 woke always us in such a bad way? Well? Why are we so 307 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,799 damn prejudice? That's the Why do we have these feelings of anger towards somebody 308 00:25:30,839 --> 00:25:34,839 just because they're different? Why so? It's great business time for Caldron. 309 00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:37,480 I would think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people would be 310 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:42,000 ordering nauseum.

One in six people will be sixty 323 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:44,559 or older by twenty thirty. One in six people will be sixty or older. 324 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,319 This is a story. Is that something that always happens? Or is 325 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,960 that I'm trying to wrap my mind around those numbers. One in six people 326 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,440 will be sixty year older by twenty thirty. Is that not a normal thing? 327 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:03,279 By decades, numbers are going up because of the baby boomers. The 328 00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:07,359 people my age is an increase and the people that are our age, but 329 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,200 the people who are your age, those numbers are going down. So, 330 00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:15,759 you know, we were talking about Social Security and Medicare and people wondering whether 331 00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:18,759 it runs out of money. I don't think it will, frankly, if 332 00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:23,079 you look at the stats, because there will be fewer people that pay out 333 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,240 as time goes on. And then people say, well, the fewer people 334 00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:30,720 paying in too, if that's the case, And yes, that is the 335 00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:36,680 case. But you know, it's so silly. These people don't invest the 336 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:41,039 money in things that you and I would invest in if I were buy an 337 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:45,079 investment account, or you have one and you want to watch your four oh 338 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,759 one K, or you have whatever it is. The government doesn't do that, 339 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:56,279 and nobody can give you a good reason why. It's why aren't they 340 00:27:56,279 --> 00:28:00,079 investing our money so that the returns are like a bank? Right banks? 341 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,400 There aren't many banks losing money these days, plenty of money being drained out 342 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,680 of the federal government. However, anyway, a little bit for us to 343 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,400 think about. It was also I wish I got it on bitcoin, invested 344 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:18,240 in bitcoin early on now it's like worth over seventy thousand. I know crazy. 345 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,759 I had Jack Stockwell's son is in that business, and he and I 346 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:27,319 both put a couple of bucks in early but it wasn't it wasn't just bitcoin. 347 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:33,279 It was all kinds of that sort of stuff. And so usually the 348 00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:37,799 bitcoin, though, seems to drag the other stuff with it. So we'll 349 00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:41,799 see whether that's the case or not. But anyway, I was thinking about 350 00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:48,599 four years ago today. I got in I was in California, I had 351 00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:52,839 a place in Venice, and in a twenty four hour period, think about 352 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,880 this. Let's just go back a little bit. Think about what happened to 353 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:03,279 your life four years ago today, when the first announcement was made that this 354 00:29:03,599 --> 00:29:11,440 thing called COVID, which had been a problem in Italy and China and other 355 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,480 places, now first signs of it coming to America. And the president at 356 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,799 the time was Donald Trump, and he said it's to be a couple of 357 00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:22,440 weeks and we'll be done with it. And four years later, we're still 358 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,880 talking about it, and there's still people have long COVID. But that's not 359 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,880 really I just want you to think about what you were doing. I remember 360 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:36,160 vividly you weren't here yet. Jay, I don't think no, no, 361 00:29:36,359 --> 00:29:37,960 no, I didn't. Jennifer and I at the beginning of twenty twenty one, 362 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,720 twenty one. Okay, so Jennifer and I are talking about it, 363 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,799 and we both happened to be in California that day. She lives in California 364 00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:49,559 all the time, and I live in California. I can't this year, 365 00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:55,279 and I haven't really been there all the time in the winter time like I 366 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,720 used to be, for any number of reasons. But for the three years, 367 00:29:59,799 --> 00:30:03,720 or mostly three years, it was one that first year, I'd fly 368 00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:07,240 out and stay in a hotel and I'd go see the kids, but I 369 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,000 wouldn't hug them, and I wouldn't, you know, we'd keep our distance. 370 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,279 I'd see them, but it wasn't like, you know, it wasn't 371 00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:18,440 like because everyone's a mask, get a shot, don't touch anybody, YadA 372 00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:26,599 YadA. But that first day, when in a California newscast, I saw 373 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,119 the anchor saying, the governor of California is thinking of shutting the state down 374 00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:37,799 to not let anybody out or anybody in. So I packed up my car. 375 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,680 Daisy and I had got in the car. It was. I don't 376 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,039 know, three or four hours after I heard that story, I was on 377 00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:48,880 my way east bound on the ten. I wasn't gonna stay there and get 378 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,440 caught. Meghan called me that morning. She said, Dad, are you 379 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,319 gonna stay? Are you gonna go? I said, Megan, I'd love 380 00:30:55,359 --> 00:30:57,960 you more than life itself, but I'm not staying here and I'm not gonna 381 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:04,119 get caught being able to get out because I have other responsibilities obviously on the 382 00:31:04,119 --> 00:31:08,599 other side of the country. So I drove home and it took us. 383 00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:12,680 I don't know. There was nobody on the roads, no trucks, no 384 00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:18,799 cars. It was like Christmas. Nobody and in restaurant if you could find 385 00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:22,079 one opened, find a hotel that was open. And this was in a 386 00:31:22,119 --> 00:31:27,640 twenty four to forty eight hour period when everything shut down. Everything, planes 387 00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:33,160 couldn't get on a plane to go anywhere, right, pretty much everything shut 388 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,640 down, and then things, you know, people started to figure out what 389 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,519 was what and who was who. I at that next day on the air, 390 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:47,119 I remember saying that I thought that this was a complete overreaction, and 391 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,559 this was my gut telling me this. I didn't know anything about really the 392 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:55,000 stuff that I've learned and we've all learned about it coming from the laboratory in 393 00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:59,160 Wuhan, and what started it, and you know how it spread and all 394 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,480 that stuff. I didn't know any of that, but I knew in my 395 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:07,359 heart of hearts and my gut. And that was interesting because Chris last night, 396 00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:10,640 I've been talking off and on all day about this interview between Tucker Carlson 397 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,440 and Chris Cuomo in which the two of them face each other and discuss a 398 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,720 lot of issues, and one of the things that they come up with is 399 00:32:20,759 --> 00:32:24,400 COVID and how it was handled, and they both pretty much agreed that it 400 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:29,519 was not handled well. But you didn't know it at the time. I 401 00:32:29,599 --> 00:32:32,960 didn't know why. My gut told me that this was an overreaction, but 402 00:32:34,079 --> 00:32:37,759 I know that I believed it more and more every day, and I believe 403 00:32:37,759 --> 00:32:43,559 it even more today than I did then. But back to how the first 404 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,359 day was the first twenty four to forty eight hours again driving across the country. 405 00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:52,720 So what was your experience think back about when you first heard this and 406 00:32:52,759 --> 00:32:57,319 what was your thak I remember I was in Nashville. Well, like just 407 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,079 I was working with stations just west of Nashville, and when we knew about 408 00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:06,119 COVID, but prior to things shutting down, we were told to help curb 409 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,759 the fear, you know, talk about COVID as it's like the flu. 410 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,839 You know, your chances of dying from the fluor ammonia are probably higher than 411 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,559 COVID. That's what we were told to say. So that's what my morning 412 00:33:15,559 --> 00:33:17,400 show partner and I were disgusting, and a lot of that. And then 413 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,200 the beginning of March, the night of March second and early morning hours of 414 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:29,000 March third, horrible tornadoes that just reached Tavoc in Nashville and east of Nashville, 415 00:33:29,119 --> 00:33:31,920 and so that took a lot of our focus, and we did and 416 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:38,519 I was pregnant, super pregnant, And when we were doing different the week 417 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:45,440 that everything shut down, days before, we did a supplies drive where people 418 00:33:45,519 --> 00:33:49,920 were coming out and giving you know, monetary donations or bringing supplies and all 419 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,079 of this stuff. And it was already kind of like, Okay, well 420 00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:55,119 things are happening with COVID. And so I was in a mask and gloves, 421 00:33:55,519 --> 00:33:59,279 not just because of COVID, but because of how pregnant I was and 422 00:33:59,279 --> 00:34:01,640 my immune system. I was like, I don't want to catch anything period. 423 00:34:02,519 --> 00:34:07,319 And two days later we were doing well. We were doing this like 424 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,760 teacher of the Month thing where my partner and I would go to a school 425 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,239 and surprise the recipient of the teacher of the Month thing and all of this 426 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,599 stuff and kind of, you know, just celebrate them. Well, we 427 00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:22,840 did it early because we got word the day of it was Friday. I 428 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,480 believe it was a Friday, March thirteenth, that schools were shutting down and 429 00:34:25,519 --> 00:34:30,000 they would not be back in session until further notice. So it's one of 430 00:34:30,039 --> 00:34:31,079 those things of like, okay, you guys, just go out today, 431 00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:36,480 and so again in gloves and a mask, went to the school and did 432 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,800 the teacher of the stuff, and then all of a sudden everything was shut 433 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,119 down. And I think it was two or three weeks later. My operations 434 00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:45,800 manager he was like, look, I don't want to be at fault if 435 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,840 something happens to you because you are pregnant, you do have a week immune 436 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,519 system, you do have really bad asthma, you have lung issues, you 437 00:34:51,519 --> 00:34:53,960 have a chronic illness pypermyldra. He's like, we're going to give you equipment 438 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,639 and we want you to work from home until further notice, and so they 439 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,719 I mean they hear me and sent me home. But essentially thanks Davidson County 440 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,639 where Nashville is shut down, but none of the surrounding county shut down. 441 00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:13,320 There was still a lot of business as usual. They all survived, right, 442 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:19,280 they all survived. Yeah, it has been I don't know, just 443 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,800 the craziness of all that. It just it still bugs me frankly to this 444 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,760 day. But anyway, remembering it was four believe it or not, four 445 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:36,480 years ago this week that that craziness all started. The next Stefan Good Day 446 00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:39,880 download with Doug and Jay Kirshner is made possible in part by Caltron, which 447 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,079 is the safe way for you to lose weight and keep it off.
