in part by Kellatrin, which is the safe way for you to lose weight
and keep it off, and also by privigent keeping your brain healthy. Why
is Wednesday like a river? Is it because it's flowing? Things are flowing?
H I just I'm making that up. Yeah, go with the flow.
Good going, Jay, Jay Kurshner, Doug Stephen here not necessarily to
go with the flow. That is not what we're known for here, at
least now what unknown for. I don't think Jay is either, Frankie,
I think that going with the flow is boring, right, It's boring.
It depends on the flow. Sometimes the flow is a calm, nice,
peaceful little flow. Othertimes it's pretty shoppy, easy, cool, calm feeling.
If you go back in your memory to before COVID passport applications where typically
fulfilled within like six to eight weeks, and this is if you had an
accelerated request, it was two to three weeks. Now, more and more
people want to travel, People want to get out of the country, people
want to go visit, They want to spread their wings if you will,
and the State Department is no longer struggling to get to the time. During
the COVID thing, it was like it seemed like forever. Remember the last
time I had I was going to China and I got a new passport because
if they run out, if you're going to someplace like that, and this
was twelve fourteen years ago, if you have a six month window, they
won't let you go. So you got to get a new passport to go
to places like that. At least they did then. I remember standing in
line in the Los Angeles to get it done, and it was sort of
like the post office in Los Angeles. There's like a scene from the from
the bar scene in Star Wars. The people who were there, half of
them didn't speak English, and most of them didn't know what they were doing,
but yet they were there as good public servants. At any rate,
the situation has changed a lot. If you have applied for a passport,
you know that. And now let's see how the situation is. Is it
better or worse? You know, the worst part of it is is the
process, not so much the waiting time. Right. Have you noticed that
if you wouldn't passport, have you when's the last time you got a passport,
I need to renew it. It's definitely outdated. It's it is years
outdated. Yes, oh really, Ah well, they've announced this week there's
a two week improvement from earlier. This year, they have so far the
record number of passport issuances this year. Twenty four million people have tried to
get a passport or are at least in the queue or have gotten a passport
on the way. That's a lot of people. That's like almost ten percent
of the population wants to have a passport, which is very interesting. It
seems like a large number. But I remember when I think more and more
people want to travel too after being yeah, they do, that's the point.
H yeah, but there used to be when you think you look at
these numbers and they seem big. But in terms of the people who have
a member and I got this info when I was going to China, only
twenty nine percent of the people who live in this country have ever been out
of this country and a more Startling's City and duck there. It is statistic
is that almost twenty percent of the people who live in this we had remember
been out of the state that they were born in. It makes sense.
It costs money to travel. Not everybody has those available phones. Yeah,
maybe I wasn't looking at it that way. Okay, let's have a little
traveling music for Kevin McCarthy, who seems to be on the outs. Yeah.
I didn't realize we were all at the whims of Matt Gates Well Yields.
Well, you know what this guy. I have these people who are
gonna rue the day they think they're so smart now and the people once again,
I was really angry yesterday when this happened. Frankly, I was busy
doing other things, and I was actually I had finished a meeting and I
was I'm gonna way to get on a tractor to work in a hayfield,
and I just I got on the phone. I didn't get on the phone
to talk. I'm looking at the phone, you know, checking some email
and checking some messages. And I saw this, and I just thought,
these clowns, they're so nepotistic. It's all about them. It's not about
you and me, the people that are supposed to be served. It's about
them and the power and control. We've let them get to this place because
of our ignorance, because of our lack of understanding of even how the system
works. People who vote, they most of the time, people haven't educated
themselves as to why to vote for somebody. It's normally who they vote for,
and more often than not these days, it's voting against somebody else rather
than voting for someone who really stands for what you believe, voting to keep
somebody out of office rather than truly voting somebody into office. Matt Gates is
a pervert, he's a pedophile, he's a punk, and yet he has
made enough noise the Democrats who are happy to go along for the ride to
get rid of McCarthy, just to screw things up, and then they could
blame the Republicans when the election. See those damn Republicans. They don't know
what they're doing. A better vote for one of us. That has nothing
to do with serving the public. How does that serve the public, To
create the chaos that between now and when the forty now, what is it
forty days between now and when something has to be worked out, there's more
permanent so that the government doesn't shut down. I used to think it was
great when the government shut down, but it's not. It's chaos. Not
only the market went up when there was Monday and Tuesday, the market,
well, the marketings would do so it is day. But Monday went up
pretty well because there seemed to be at least some sort of order in the
court, order, in the house order. And now it's back to chaos
again, only to serve the interests of these politicians and not to serve your
interests. Now, some of you may not like McCarthy because you're a right
wing whack job, and that's fine. If that's the way you are,
maybe I should be. It's just I think most of you. Honestly,
this sounds probably insulting to some people. This is why I don't talk about
this stuff much on the air, because it gets us no place. I'd
rather fix things. And McCarthy was a fixer. You don't like him because
what he's too open minded. You don't like him because he made deals with
Democrats. You don't like him. Why why do you not like him?
Looking back to the people who got the most done, Nude Gingrich had threats
of being removed, and so did John Bayner. They both got out.
Yeah, right, exactly. So this right wing movement, it's kind of
like a bottle movement. As far as I'm concerned, they just and it's
because of people. It's the rank and file that's nut so much. What's
going on there is what's going on in the communities, in places where people
like Gets or Santos or you, you know, pick any number of people
that some of the folks, Oh, this guy's wonderful. Why is he
or she wonderful? Do they really have your best interests at art? And
do you even know what your best interests aren't under the circumstances. So a
lot of people, the Democrats didn't like McCarthy's leadership. They thought that he
was he when he signed on to the impeachment inquiry, they didn't like that,
which you know, okay, that was being the reason he did that
was because he needed to satisfy some of these nutbirds on the left, I
mean on the right hand side, these twenty or twenty four however many there
are. And you can say, well, just because they don't agree with
you, or you call him a whack job, look at their record,
look what they stand for, and then tell me that they represent that the
far left, yeah, right exactly, are the loudest that get the most
attention, and those are the people that get elected in the primary. Most
people don't even understand how the system works. And this is what riles me
up more than anything else. You sound you sound very passionate about this.
I am because it's our country that's getting fed up, and it's because people
don't get the process. That's how people, these nutbirds get through, because
people don't vote in the primary. We are lucky to have twenty percent of
the eligible population vote in most primaries. So I'm going to vote on election
day, that is election day. And the fact that we have these people
that make it through in the primaries because people don't vote other than the hardcore
people that want we're letting the minor already rule. And that's not supposed to
be the way it is supposed to be. The majority rules, but it
isn't so anyway. And I have no use for Kim Jeffries, who's the
Democrat. He's the same he directed the caucus to vote for a new leadership.
Uh huh okay, So why does one guy have that much power?
That's what's happened in the House, more in the House than in the Senate.
You don't vote along pottery lines, you don't get the assignment you want
to committees. So now there's a temper they call the Speaker pro tem Patrick
McHenry of North Carolina has been appointed the temporary speaker. The roll call vote
that took place, I guess was it at the same time. I wasn't
clear on that whether it was after McCarthy gets pushed out McHenry gets the role.
So then go back to McHenry been in Congress since two thousand and four.
He's young, it's been in ten terms. It started when he was
twenty nine years old, and so I don't know. He's known to be
a supporter of McCarthy. HM, So what did he vote for him to
get booted? I didn't get that, mckenry to he vote for McCarthy to
get booted out of the speakership. I don't look for a list to see
how everybody voted. An I didn't see that either. That damn Matt Gates
man, he's a nemesis. You're gonna all you think this is good,
Wait a month, look at how might you think? How might costs a
lot of money to borrow money now to buy a car or something? You
think? Wait, you wait and see how this shakes out. I hope
I'm wrong. Frankly, all of our social media connections can be handled by
you at good day networks being banga ba boom and you're there. So Stevie
Nicks from Fleetwood Mac has been all over the place as a fabulous interview that
I read yesterday about Christie mcvee and the Stevie Nicks and how close they were,
they were best friends, and how Stevie thinks it's the end of the
line for Fleetwood Mac. That's not all though, that is affecting or is
happening for the Stevie Knicks fan. I happen to be a big fan.
I've been a big fan of Fleetwood Max, loved Christie McVie. I think
there's something about Stevie Nicks that's so fetching. Anyway, let's talk about what
else is going on. When you're looking at headlines, you see Stevie Knicks.
Okay, yeah, she's going on her own tour too. She is.
She's onlining for Yeah this season this year, and she gets to kick
it off with her own Barbie Doll. Hey Barbie, So I didn't realize
that Barbie Dolls were subject to being connected to real people. I guess that's
because I don't know much about Barbie dolls other than the success the movie,
or knowing that a lot of girls had him when we were all younger.
There's always the Winter the Special Winters Collection Barbie. Gloria Stefan had herself made
into a Barbie last year, part of the Mattel's Music Collector Say well do
you do it? Did they? Who decides? Did? Stephen Nick said
I want a Barbie doll for me. Mattel. So Mattel actually came to
her and wanted to do a Barbie in her likeness, but of course you
have to get the person's permission. They were like, hey, would you
like to have a Barbie made of view? And she was kind of like,
well, yeah, of course I would, but she had some questions
of what it actually looked like her, and Mattel knew that they wanted to
replicate this Barbie with the nineteen seventy seven Rumors album cover, that whole outfit,
the iconic black dress, Yeah, black dress. And she said that
when she actually saw the Barbie doll, it just looks so much like her
that she sees her twenty seven year old self and it takes her immediately walking
out on stage and that black outfit and the gorgeous boots she had on,
and just that has to be a really cool experience. Yep. That she
has such piercing eyes and she's had such an interesting story in her life.
She had a lot of problems with drugs, for whay, but she got
herself out of it, and I think part of the help was from Christie
McVie, who never went down that road frankly. And so it's just kind
of neat to see how these you know, how anybody matures, how you've
grown up jay in your life and what it's become and what I have,
and Stevie nicks the same way she'd grown up in the public eye. So
yeah, the Barbie dollars should be kind of fun just in time for Christmas.
Hey, here is something for you, no matter where you are in
your day to think about. It'll maybe set your mind thinking about the fourth
of October. Where we are the first week of October, think about that
twenty twenty three, so think in terms of what gifts you have, a
lot of people are doing their Christmas shop and good God, all right,
Halloween stuff is out there in this Thanksgiving. What's the best gift you can
give? Conditional love? Well? Time? Yeah, they're both time.
Yeah, right, they're both good, certainly good food for thought if you
will. Jake Kirshner, Doug Stephen. The state of Connecticut has passed a
new gun law and the second Amendment. Folks don't like it because this thing
is swafting around New England is a bill that's similar to this in Massachusetts,
and you see signs all over the place. Don't let them take away your
guns. Stop it. And so this is one of the Connecticut the law
that was passed one of the most true engined firearm rules since ten years ago
when in that state a law authorized in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary
School. Sure you remember all that stuff and what went with it. Despite
court challenges around the country, this law, which was assigned in June,
has taken effect in Connecticut harsher limitations on gun ownership, and it does it
deals with the problem not of whether you can have a gun or not,
but who can have a gun. And we all know that most of the
problems, especially the young white kids that get a hold of guns, and
they're late teens and angry as they are, they shoot things up, shoot
people up, and that's this is supposed to The law is no good though,
for any law that is gun control laws, but the fact that many
laws are passed and they aren't enforced people who paid attention more laws don't fix
the problem at all. And my especially when the current laws are not being
exactly well, we're also going to rise in toddlers and accidental shootings because guns
are not securely put away. A lot of people, not everybody, but
a lot of people who have killed people with guns obtained those guns illegally,
whether it was a stolen gun on the streets or something, or again in
the family home home or a friend's family home, and it was not locked
up safely and secured. Look at a story today floating around with the grandfather
who was arrested after he accidentally shot his twelve year old grandson while officiating at
a wedding. Fortunately this child will be okay. Was shot in the shoulder.
What do they have a gun at the wedding for? What the heck
was that he was? Michael Gardner is a guy's name. He was set
to preside over a wedding on Saturday evening, he fired a blank round from
his revolver into the air. For what reason. He's trying to get everybody's
attention. It's like the old days, right, shoot the gun up in
the air and everything calms down. Well. And it was a blank round
the first one that he shot up in the air, and that was just
to get everybody's attention. And then when as he brought it down for some
reason, he accidentally caked it back and the hammer released and a bullet went
into the twelve year old man. What do you think and what do you
say about for it was like a hard piece of glue. I'm sorry,
not a bullet, but they were blanks. But this just goes to show
the even blinks had blanks, even have something in there, and sometimes things
go wrong. Yep, all right, let's talk about Taylor Swift shall we.
Nobody's been talking about her lately. Now. The Taylor that somebody's come
up with this I thought was moderately clever and kind of silly. And Sunday
Night Football, according to some was quote Taylor made for swifties. And so
now there's a focus on what Carson Daily said before the game began, and
so there's always a critic. I'm not a fan or a follower. I
like Taylor Swift. She's okay, But I don't know. I didn't never
heard of Travis Kels before. And you know, so the two of them
are dating. Yep, this is the largest increase in viewership. Is it
silly? Women watched the game so that they could get a glance at Taylor
Swift. They weren't watching the game, they were just watching the TV to
see if they could get a glance of her the box because they show it
that but that's the thing they do. The cameras show it. They show
her and whoever whoever she's with, the racing games she was with, who
was at Black Lively and Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, and I believe Sophie
Turner was there, right or maybe that was the first one. Now it's
hard to keep track. They had millions more viewers. So the producers of
Sunday Night Football ask Carson Daily to go on before the game to explain football
to Swift fans, and then it kind of backfired. I guess it did
anyway, But the fact that they did that, so women are supposed to
not understand football. That's about as sexist as you can get, right,
think about that. I see, I didn't take it that way because not
all Taylor Swift obsessed fans are women. I just took it as people who
don't get into football and the Taylor Swift fans sense. But it was one
of those things of even why am I blanking on his name? Who's Travis
Kells's brother Jason? Justin Jason. They do a podcast together and there is
a show and stuff, and there was this one time where his brother was
like, now, how does it feel that Taylor Swift has put you on
the map? Even though he is a Super Bowl winner. He people know
him. But it's just like how they're just you know, talking with each
other. I'm looking at some of the comments on social media how Carson Daily
explaining football to the Swifties is one of the most insulting things I've ever seen.
Come on, get a life. But again, that just goes to
like the whole show perception is of, you know, some people were offended
by it, other people thought it was funny. It's just like, how
not not equating suit Swifties to children or anything like that, But there are
different things with football games where they get kids involved and they teach them about
the game. Like there's one that Disney Plus was streaming one of the games,
I can't remember which one using Toy Story. There was basically Toy Story
characters in a cartoon since but they were simulating the exact all the exact plays
in the game. They do one on Nickelodeon on the Nickelodeon channel, and
it's just they're just trying to have fun and reach out to other people.
And if people want to be offended, they can. If people don't want
to be offended, they don't have to be to each their own, to
each their own that. Laura Hayes is a commission commercial producer and a self
professed lifelong football fan. She said she thought Carson Daily was good and NBC's
intentions were well placed. So I'm going to leave it at that, frankly,
because I think all the rest of the negative stuff some people need to
get a life, Thank you very much. All right, here's something he's
going to affect everybody who's got a phone today. So the next sixty seconds
or so, for the discussion purpose of explaining to you I'm going to be
Carson Daily only. I'm going to explain why you're going to get an emergency
alert on your phone today. Everybody who has a phone is going to get
this or whatever the noise is. So this is something that will simultaneously impact
not only cell phones, but radios, televisions. It is only, as
they say, a test. So this is the mandated test of wireless emergency
alerts, the emergency broadcast system, the emergency alert system. It'll be two
twenty Eastern time this afternoon. The Federal Emergency Management Agency says the tests are
being conducted to quote ensure that the systems continue to be effective in terms of
warning the public about emergencies, particularly those on the national level. We recognize
that in disasters, seconds count. Yeah. Tell the clowns that were over
in Hawaii as the fire hit. Yeah, that whole that whole reasoning was
absurd of Well, these sirens are typically used for tsunamis or whatever, and
we don't want people to think of asunami. You don't want to just alert
people anyway and then they can figure out what was going on, that something
is happening, so they don't think they went outside, they wouldn't have smelled
the smoke we have them. I mean, the majority of people in the
US by now have smelled wildfire smoke from so even if there's not one in
your location here somewhere else, yeah you yes, yeah, exactly. Yeah,
it's the naivete of people much anything else. And the thing that's contributed
more to people's naivete is the tool that they're going to use to get these
emergency alerts. Today, for the most part, the largest, the majority
of people will have this test transmitted on their cell phone, they cell phones,
radios to a point television. But so, what is going to happen.
I'll give you the right down to the brass knuckles of this thing.
It's supposed to last about a half hour. Cell phones will receive one message
during this test, and that will last for about a minute excuse me,
the same message window. Right, So I'm going to pretend to be the
announcer. Ready, Okay, we're gonna prepare, We're gonna rehearse what happens
this afternoon. Quote announce, wouldn't say quote Doug Stephen here on behalf of
the Federal Emergency Management Agency. This is a national test of the emergency alert
system covering the United States from fourteen twenty to fourteen fifty hours. This is
only a test. No action is required by the public, all right,
So this is being a disgusted I don't know whether other I'm sure other morning
programs, television programs, new stuff that's in print will have this on it.
How many people will pay attention to this? Oh, people have been
talking about this. This was a big topic on social media yesterday because some
people were saying that they feel like it's an invasion of their privacy. Do
they not realize an emergency alerts go on all the time? This is maybe
the first time that everybody in the States will get it at the exact same
time, and it will be on phones and radio and television all at the
same time. But these have already been going on, isn't it if?
This is why Matt Gates got traction and why McCarthy is out same kind of
thinking. People get riled up without asking questions, without research, and all
it takes is one person, one prominent person, to tweet something about how
they are outraged about this, and then people are like, yeah, me
too, flips shakespists in the air, Yeah, or should a gun in
the air to get everybody's attention? Right? Yeah, A program has become
more interesting because more of this crazy stuff is going on. I guess all
of our lives are. Is this more interesting or is it an inconvenience?
Maybe we should ask that question our social media. I am Robert Strickler.
My wife Joyce and I have been married for fifty three years. Certainly one
of the really important things in my life are our children and our grandchildren.
I am essentially a writer. I've been involved in communications in the media.
I've been an avid fly fisherman for at least forty or more years. I've
been taking Privigen on a regular basis for at least eight years. For me,
the greatest benefit over the years has been that Previgen seems to help me
recall things and also think more clearly, have a crisper ability to remember and
think through things. And I husiastically recommend privig and it has helped me an
awful lot. Provigen healthier brain, better life. Robert Strickler is a content

start thinking grip it and ritty? I'm like, no, that's not what
we want. That's not what we want. It No a good day program.
I'm Doug Stephen along with a Jay Kirshner, brought to you by Oh
you started me thinking about this show? Why not? Right? Do it
now? Oh? O'Riley auto Parts? Oh is there really a guy named
O'Riley? See? I think that O'Riley is probably a name that it's easily
recognizable, snappy jingle. I believe that this is a big hedge fund that
owns O'Riley Auto Parts and so handy. You go around the country, right,
there are four or five really good auto parts chains. O'Riley is the
one gets the most notoriety because they spend the most money on advertising, Thank
you very much. O'Reilly is founded by Charles H. O'Reilly. Yeah,
and then when did he sell out to the hedge fund? Does it say
when you did wick, Where did you go to wiki? Or you went
to Google or someplace? My dear friend Wikipedia wiki? Good, good dude,
good dude. Does it say when he sold out to some hedge fund?
It doesn't know? Just founded December second, nineteen fifty seven, sixty
five years ago. The headquarters are in Springfield, Missouri, serves the USA
in Mexico. Yeah, hedge fund. Oh oh oh, O'Riley. All
right, let's have some courage today with your porridge. All right, porridge
and courage go together. Doesn't it feel good when you know you're right,
when you are doing something that's good. Confidence feels I know I'm right,
I know I'm doing the right thing. I know this is good. Doesn't
that feel good when you have courage and confidence? The courage? What was
it? What was taught? The courage of my convictions? So I have
strong convictions, stick with them. Don't let somebody talk you out of them
just because it's convenient for them. You know, there's a lot of that
going on right now, and you look at the political realities. People tell
me don't talk. You know, I saw something and one of the trades
that on talk radio programs you need to in order to be successful. Talk
about Trump at least once every hour. So that's right, I did.
I just talked about I'm done next anyway, So you listen. You've got
your own life, You've got your own brain. Don't follow somebody else just
to be a follower. Be a leader, Take time to think things through,
have courage to do something that means something to you. Not following because
you want to be a part of the group. I don't ever get you
any place. It may get the leader someplace, but I'm gonna get you
someplace, especially if you have your kind of unique skill set. Everybody is
an individual. We all have stuff about us that's unique. Things we can
do that other people can't. And so when people I remember because I was
so unique as a youngster growing up in the community I grew up and where
I still am. In fact, I was teased all the time because of
the work I did on the farm. We all had part time jobs when
we were in high school back then, and so the conversation would I'm about
as to what you were doing, and I said, I work on this
farm. There were three farms I was working on pretty much at the same
time, and they would look at me. The guys that were playing football.
For example, I was active in some of the behind the scenes stuff
with some athletics, but excuse me, I wasn't out there, and so
they said, well, what do you doing Saturday? Well, I got
a bail. Hey, they're looking, wow, what's that I've Over the
years, obviously it stuck with it because I still do it, and it's
satisfying. As a matter of fact, it's gotten a lot better as I've
gotten older, because I was confident that this was the right thing for me.
I was brave, and therefore my life in that realm was better I've
always been. Maybe the radio program shows some of that as well, and
some of the other things that I do because I have I'm not like everybody
else, But then neither were you. Nobody is like everybody else or somebody
else. You are? You so like it? Love it? But yeah,
I always like the one saying that you are your only constant in life.
You are the only one who is with you of your life. Yeah.
So so make sure that you aren't making yourself happy and living a life
that you want to live and striving one of those things of like striving to
be who you want to be. That doesn't necessarily mean a career or occupation,
just it could be how you are as a person, kindness, patience,
or having like you said, having courage. Yep, courage. So
it's Donald Try. I actually do want to talk about Trump a little bit
here because of all of the hoop law about the fraud trial. He's been
making fun of the law clerk and so he's been ordered not to talk.
There's a gag order. There's not anybody he can't rank. And that's the
expression when I was a kid. Ranking on somebody means you're making fun of
them, and you know what it shows? It shows, And this is
really going to irritate some people. What a He doesn't have a good self
image. People who have a good self image don't take shots at people like
he does, always putting people down. That's not the sign of courage or
leadership. That's a sign of insecurity. So you can say what you will
about Trump and how wonderfully is and he's the greatest president of all that stuff,
But guys like that usually have little wee wee's and they also have maybe
not been breastfed. I don't know whatever it is, but I usually pay
no attention to people who continually make fun of others. Now you can say,
well, you're calling people names. That's something I probably shouldn't do,
but it grabs me at the moment when I see some of these people,
like, I mean, name the characters getting attention and beside Trump, Gates,
McCarthy hid her. Biden, by the way, he pled not guilty
to the charges that he lied on an application to buy a gun. Well,
what of course he's gonna plead not guilty. What do you think he's
gonna say, Yep, I'm guilty. Send me to jail. No,
not likely. No, Let's see who else we got here. Oh,
Carrie Lake's got her for a moment. Yeah, good, Well, she's
gonna run for the Senate. She wants to beat Kristen's cinema because Kristen sorry,
because she's a turncoat. Right. She doesn't believe in truth justice in
the American way. No, it's truth. It's your truth, your justice,
and your American way. I mean, that's the American way for everybody.
Okay, what else do we have that is of interest and importance?
Here's a mother Excuse me for a minute. I'm like, what's the second
words another, where are we going? No, that's not where we're going
at all. This this story about a mother of four who has opened up
about the realities of what she calls gender disappointment. I looked at this several
times to try to figure it out. Maybe you can figure it or explain
it better than ken I. Kendra Evans is the person in the focus here
emotional reaction. Discovered that she was expecting a fourth daughter. She's they did
a sex reveal party, and she was really hoping for a boy, had
three girls already, was really hoping for a boy, and she started crying
when it was revealed that she was having a little girl. And this,
I mean, she's already had the little girl, and she loves the little
girl and everything. But this is something that was posted, and of course
not everything that goes viral is a current posting. A lot of times that
can be posted a while ago, and it's just now gaining traction, and
people are talking about some people were coming for her, that she was mean
about it, or the fact that she was crying when some other people are
just happy to have a healthy baby exactly, And they're trying to say that,
yeah, and then other people are saying it's okay to be disappointed.
People are allowed to feel their feelings. I'm sure you as a society stopped
telling them. You can disagree with people's feelings, but you can't tell them
they're wrong to feel how they feel. That's true. Yeah, feelings are
feelings, and being in touch with your feelings is very important something that youngsters
need to have a little bit more exposure to, or allowance, if you
will. I'm sensitive to this because I was emotional as a youngster and still
am as an adult, and my father thought there was something wrong with me
because I was emotional. Nothing wrong with me. Well, it probably is
something wrong with me, but whether it's that or not, but I just
look at this and echoing which you've said a little bit, Jay, you're
pregnant with a baby, and the baby is a wonderful gift in and of
itself, no matter what the sex of the baby. I know somebody who
had a baby, and I was hesitated to tell the story, but it's
a story that has some relevance here. This lady didn't like the fact that
she was having She had a number of children, and I wasn't sure she
put the last child she had up for adoption because the man who impregnated her
was a creature apparently, and she didn't want him. She didn't want to
remember him through the baby, so the baby was put up for adoption.
As soon as she had the baby, the baby was gone. She never
saw it, never touched it, never knew much annoying about the baby,
except that the baby grew inside of her. But because I think it was
I'm not sure it was a rape, but it was something that was very
undesirable. So I did of that circumstance. Can you get it? I
guess I could get that understanding, But the fact that you just have a
boy instead of a girl. Come on, maybe if you don't want it
and you know the baby's going to get the vibe here, Hello, if
you don't want a baby a child, then you better give it up for
adoption because that child's going to be ruined. Getting your vibe well, and
this specific circumstance, she did want her baby. She loves her baby.
She can't imagine her life without her baby. Just in the moment of finding
out the gender, which you already had three girls. And one of the
things that she asked to the story is that each of her previous or daughters,
the pregnancy was the exact same, same symptoms and everything. This pregnancy
was significantly different, and so she kind of had it in her mind that
it was a boy, and she was hoping for a boy. But yet
to each their own. Let's hear it for the boys, all hey,
for boys. So it's great business time for Calidron. I would think the

and I have social media on our mind during this portion of each hour of
the program. So we were just talking about Trump getting a gag order after
he used social media to attack the law clerk. This is something that's all
over the place, and so apparently Trump recirculated on his own side and elsewhere.
That's what I'm talking about, just that nasty stuff. He referred to
the law clerk as Chuck Schumer's girlfriend because they apparently had a selfie together or
something. Well, he knows that he has a power. He knows Donald
Trump knows that he has a following that not everybody in his following, but
some members of the following are writer or die. And if he says that
these people are are this way or that way, then these people will will
go with it. And I'm sure a lot of people will threaten these people.
So I don't blame the judge for being like no member of my staff.
They're not up. They're not up for grabs on this, Like you
just keep all of them out of this, because that's the thing. Donald
Trump can't he he has this ability, and he's not the only one.
Other other notable prominent figures have this too to rile people up. And not
everybody that can easily be riled up as of sound mind enough to not go
and cause harm to somebody else. Unfortunately. Yep, all right, X
Social Media is suing X, a social media company. I guess this was
bound to happen sooner or later that one company files a lawsuit against Elon Musk
and the X corporation because there are lots of X corporations around. There's an
ad agency called X Social Media. So whether or not this was vetted by
lawyers, if in fact the lawyers had gone to gone into the record books,
they would have seen that there are a number of companies that have X
in the name and this one's too close well, including X dot com was
which was an online banking system that Elon Musk originally created. It lasted I
mean maybe a one year a year and a half before it was sold over
to was it PayPal? I can't remember who. Yeah, he always had
ye yeah, and then he always just still fell in love with that,
and he bought X dot com back from whomeever he sold it, and he
just always kind of sat on it. And then once he decided to change
Twitter to X, it was only natural that that became the new X dot
com. So if you go to X dot com, it forward straight to
Twitter. Well, but also for X social Media, who is suing X
the social media company. Elon Musk has a boughtload of money. He can
tie this up in litigation and completely drain X social media business. Wow,
it turned out. Yesterday Forbes announced the of the wealthiest Americans by region and
the wealthiest people in the world is an annual thing. Elon Musk is on
top of the list, worth two hundred fifty nine billion dollars, one person,
one entity, Worth's two hundred fifty nine billion dollars. Number two on
the list is Jeff Bezos, who's like eighty nine billion dollars. To the
south of Elon Musk, Bezos was number one on the list, was Bill
Gates was number one, Warren Buffett was at one point in time, and
these guys, if you even just go back to the early odds. Bill
Gates was on the list for a few and his number was like four billion.
And now looking at how many hundreds of billions the top tier has,
it's like, oh, four billion doesn't even seem like that much. Be
span of twenty three years, how much that list has grown in financial success.
Well, so then the people say, well, LEXI, money begets
well, money does beget money. If you have money, you're going to
make more money. And then people say, oh, I gotta tax him.
Let's go get him. You can tax him as much as you want.
That isn't going to keep them from making more money. You know,
it's just I remember when Reagan became president, the top the top tier of
taxes for the people who were the wealthiest was eighty percent on your gains,
eighty percent of whatever you are gaining. Jimmy Carter put that law into effect.
Didn't last when Reagan got in, but pretty interesting reality. The Deck
