WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:03.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to k if I am six forty 2 00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:07.759 the Gary and Shannon Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. It's time for 3 00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:12.640 swamp watching. This swamp is horrible. The government doesn't work. Man, 4 00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:17.280 we're gonna make this like a reality TV show. Was a bad Noos, 5 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:20.600 always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C. Hey, Joe 6 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:26.160 a town hall who clearly built on a swamp and in so many ways still 7 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.000 a swamp. I have to watching Milwaukee, boy said, dreamed the swamp. 8 00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:33.920 I said, Oh, that's so hope, keepsh You know the thing, 9 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:39.119 well, DC is the center of the universe in many ways because of 10 00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:46.960 what's going on with Bob Menindez, because of the Democratic turtmoil within the party 11 00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.759 with Joe Biden at the top of the ticket, and then what Republicans are 12 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:53.479 doing. They happen to be in Milwaukee. But let's talk with Brett Samuels, 13 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.079 who is a White House reporter, about what's going on in this in 14 00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.439 this crazy, crazy time that we find ourselves. Brett was going on, 15 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.519 hey, guys, how are you good. Let's start with if you don't 16 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:10.959 mind some fallout perhaps there in d C, or at least the beltwagh about 17 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.599 what's going on with Bob Menendez convicted just a short time ago bribery foreign agent 18 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:21.439 charges all sixteen counts he faced. He's been found guilty on Yeah, and 19 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:25.480 after that happened, the floodgates have sort of opened, I think just in 20 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:29.840 the short time since that verdict came down, we've already seen a handful of 21 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.840 Democrats, including sent Majority leader Chuck Schumer, have called for him to resign. 22 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:40.200 Corey Booker, his fellow New Jersey senator, has done so, and 23 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.840 we're going to continue to see I think statements like that trickle out in the 24 00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.400 next few hours here. So some Democrats need to be kind of holding their 25 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.400 fire waiting for this trial to play out. But now that he's been found 26 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.239 guilty, it seems like everyone has a green light to go ahead and call 27 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.879 on him to resign at this point. Quick question about what goes on in 28 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:05.200 DC. If Republicans are concentrating on Milwaukee this week because of the convention, 29 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.759 President Biden is actually in Vegas. He's closer here than he is to d 30 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:15.240 C. It's not that the place shuts down, but where where do we 31 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.000 stand? Is the temperature lowered a little bit when you've got main players like 32 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.879 that that are elsewhere. Yeah, certainly, you know, d C. 33 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.240 I would say it's fair to say a week like this is, you know, 34 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.159 to take a point off what you guys are saying earlier. It's not 35 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:34.080 quite the center of the universe anymore. You know. Certainly President Biden, 36 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.120 as you said, he's out in Las Vegas campaigning former President Trump, and 37 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:43.560 really the entire Republican Party are in Milwaukee for the week talking about, you 38 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.680 know, their visions for another term should Trump be re elected. So I 39 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:50.759 would say far more eyes are on Milwaukee than are on Washington, d C. 40 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.120 At this point. And then you know, pretty much the entire Republican 41 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:58.159 Party and all those lawmakers are are in Wisconsin as well well. All eyes 42 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:04.439 were certainly on President Biden in the days that led up to what happened on 43 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:10.000 Saturday after that disastrous debate. Has the temperature gone down when it comes to 44 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:15.319 calls to replace Biden on Capitol Hill? Is there a feeling of it would 45 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.039 be all for nought at this point because Trump just seems to be a freight 46 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:27.000 train rolling down the win in November track, Yeah, it's a good question. 47 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:31.039 I think what's happened since what we saw on Saturday with that horrific shooting 48 00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.560 at the Trump rally is those calls for President Biden to step aside have sort 49 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.800 of receded into the background. I think it's definitely fair to say we haven't 50 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.960 had lawmakers publicly kind of calling for Biden to step aside, publicly wringing their 51 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:50.280 hands about his chances in November, but those conversations from where I've heard from 52 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.960 Democrats are still going on behind the scenes. And the latest is that there's 53 00:03:53.960 --> 00:04:00.879 some frustration among Democrats that the Democratic National Committee might try to nominate Biden virtually 54 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.360 before the end of the month, essentially clinching the nomination for him, and 55 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:08.159 I think that could backfire, that could create some frustration among Democrats who still 56 00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.479 kind of want to have this conversation about whether he's the best candidate. So 57 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.000 certainly, you know, I think, as you said, the temperatures are 58 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.319 sort of cool, people aren't aren't quite as publicly and viscerally discussing this, 59 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:24.160 but those those conversations are still happening behind closed doors. Brett Samuel's works for 60 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.759 The Hill covers the White House and I think, if I'm not mistaken, 61 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.439 I think we talked about this before, Gary, that there's a rule in 62 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:38.120 Ohio I want to say about nominating or have there's like a deadline where they 63 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:44.079 have to have them name the nominees to get on the ballot in Ohio. 64 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.240 And I don't remember what the deadline is, but I think it is within 65 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.199 a matter of days, if not, maybe maybe a couple of weeks. 66 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:57.079 Yeah, Brett, they've had to kind of alter their plans because of the 67 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.959 the later start, you know, the mid August start for the Democratic National 68 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.199 Convention, right, Yeah, So what happened there, it's interesting is, 69 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:09.600 as you guys said, you know, the deadline in Ohio was initially in 70 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.639 July, so it was going to be about a month before this late convention. 71 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.560 So that's why they're going to nominate him. Virtually. What happened was 72 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.959 Governor Mike DeWine in Ohio actually signed sort of a fix to this to extend 73 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:25.120 the deadline back into August. So really it would be fine if they nominated 74 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.199 him at the convention. Now there'd be no issue getting Biden on the ballot 75 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.680 in Ohio. Democrats that had already made these plans to nominate him virtually, 76 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.439 and it sounds like they're going to go ahead and do that this month, 77 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:41.160 despite sort of the consternation among some of the party about whether Biden's the right 78 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.920 guy in November. Yeah, that brings up a question based on the attempt 79 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:51.800 at assassination on Saturday. I don't know if that talk exists anymore about replacing 80 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.560 Biden at the top of the ticket. Is it just that's just going to 81 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.720 fade into the background. Maybe, Yeah. I think, you know, 82 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.360 people still have those concerns, certainly about whether Biden can actually beat Trump. 83 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:08.519 But given what happens Saturday, you know, nobody wants to be out here 84 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:13.199 calling for for for Biden to step aside. Nobody wants to publicly be saying, 85 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.360 you know, that he's not up to the job. So it certainly 86 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:20.079 shifted the calculation. And Biden himself has kind of helped shift that calculation because 87 00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.759 he's been out there since what happened on Saturday. He's you know, he's 88 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:29.120 given multiple speeches. He gave that Oval Office primetime address that we saw on 89 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.160 Sunday, he did an interview with NBC. He's out in Nevada, as 90 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.879 you guys mentioned, so he's really putting himself out there, and Biden has 91 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:40.240 made clear that he's not going anywhere. So for Democrats to kind of keep 92 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.079 up this public fight, it just seems like sort of a pointless exercise. 93 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.560 It will only hurt them over the next few months. Brett Samuels, thank 94 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:53.480 you so much for your time. Appreciate it, and go Orange. Thank 95 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:58.920 you, Go Orange. Brett Samuel's White House reporter for The Hill dot Com. 96 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.720 Multiple people briefed on the matter. I've told CNN that US authorities obtained 97 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:11.199 intelligence in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump. 98 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.000 They said that was a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security 99 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:23.199 around the former president in recent weeks. There's no indication the shooter who attempted 100 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.800 to kill Trump was connected to the Iranian plot. I already was a Chinese 101 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:34.639 national. I did too. New questions now about the security lapses on Saturday. 102 00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:41.240 If there was the existence of the intelligence threat from a hostile foreign intelligence 103 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:46.120 agency and enhance security for Trump, how the hell did that twenty year old 104 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:51.759 kid get so close within range and with a bullet that close to the former 105 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.319 president, and that he was there for that long. Yeah. Again, 106 00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.439 The report out of Pittsburgh, a television station in Pittsburgh, is that local 107 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:05.000 police in charge of that specific area, because it was outside of the fairgrounds, 108 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.759 were inside the building. They were inside the building because it was being 109 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:13.160 used as a staging area for them, and that they have at least two 110 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.959 pictures of the guy taken by officers who already thought he was suspicious a half 111 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.319 an hour before the shooting, not eighty six or eighty four second half an 112 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:28.600 hour before the shooting. So today, sorry, not today, would have 113 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.919 been yesterday. Yesterday, former President Trump got on the phone with RFK Junior 114 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:41.840 and was talking about unity. In fact, Kennedy tweeted out yesterday he said 115 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.600 a lot of rumors going around about my meeting this morning with the President Trump. 116 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.559 Our main topic was national unity, and I hope to meet with Democratic 117 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.320 leaders about that as well, and then he wrote, no, I am 118 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:56.840 not dropping out of the race. A short time after that, the video 119 00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.360 of the phone call leaked. It's weird to say it that way, but 120 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.799 he was doing he was being interviewed, and there was a videographer in the 121 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.039 room when Trump called Kennedy's phone, and Kennedy picked it up, put it 122 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.639 on speakerphone, and was walking around the room talking with former President Trump. 123 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:20.840 Had something strong with Steh. I said, I want to do school. 124 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.120 He's talking about vaccines, and that's kind of the conversation. At least about 125 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:30.720 ninety seconds of it that was that ended up being posted online. Kennedy then 126 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.679 went to Twitter this morning and said, when President Trump called me, I 127 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.360 was taping with an in house videographer. I should have ordered the videographer to 128 00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:43.480 stop recording immediately. I am mortified that this was posted. I apologize to 129 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:48.879 the president. This is what he wrote, so and I don't remember. 130 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:54.200 I saw in one place that it may have been Kennedy's son who posted it. 131 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:58.120 I don't know why he would have. It seems like a cordial conversation 132 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.919 between two people who are rivals. It's not a bad thing. Okay, 133 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.120 the vaccine stuff, sure, whatever, you want to die on that hill, 134 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.720 die on that hill. But that's not the It was just people trying 135 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:18.759 to have a friendly conversation. Last night Republican National Convention Day one. Some 136 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.720 of the speeches that we saw from play people like Glenn Youngkin and Amber Rose. 137 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:28.080 They were a handful of just normal people too. I don't know how 138 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.799 they get chosen to make these speeches, but four or five minute speeches about 139 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.080 what they saw as prosperity during the first Trump administration and then compared to what 140 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.159 we've seen in the Biden administration, saying that you know, groceries are more 141 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:46.039 expensive, they're having a hard time caring for their families, and that sort 142 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.919 of thing because the increased costs that come with the inflation. That was really 143 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:58.440 the first day highlighted by the appearance of former President Trump in arguably the most 144 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.360 theatrical way possible. I mean, like you said, the tunnel camera very 145 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.080 very I don't even it was very to me, yes, very very NFL 146 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:16.120 very wwe yes, just in the showmanship and then the emotion which appeared to 147 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:22.480 be genuine, the emotion the there was one guy that there were two moments 148 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:28.279 that I saw highlighted of former President Trump where he's sitting, he's entered the 149 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.559 arena, the place goes nuts. I mean everybody was talking about the people 150 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:37.559 who were in the arena at the time saying they've never felt electricity like that 151 00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.200 in a political event. I mean, yes, people get excited, yeah, 152 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.240 but the appliance of a guy who two days ago was the subject of 153 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:48.320 an assassination. To see you say you were there? Ye were at his 154 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.440 first appearance following that. Let me ask you this. Jd Vance was a 155 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.039 never Trump guy. Nikki Haley a never Trump person. They have both now 156 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:01.399 obviously taken up his side. You know, you had the Teamsters there the 157 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:07.360 first time that they've shown up at an RNC convention, usually stronghold for the 158 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:13.039 Democrats. Does this way voters who were on the fence? I mentioned yesterday 159 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.399 that I had at least three people that I know on social media who are 160 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:22.360 not vocal when it comes to politics, and certainly not vocal when it came 161 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:28.039 to supporting Donald Trump, but were out and about with their posts yesterday saying, 162 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:31.679 you know, not even quietly, not even in their house, to 163 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.320 their spouses, saying you know, I'm gonna vote for Trump, but they 164 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.679 were publicizing it. How far does this move the needle with people who were 165 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:45.080 never Trump To see Nicky Haley or jd Vance is more in line with Trump 166 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.759 right in the make America Great movement. But to have Nicki Haley come out 167 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.240 there tonight, I don't know if it. I don't know if it affects 168 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.240 the never Trump people. I think it affects the people who are like never 169 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:03.360 Trump Republican. I should say I don't think it does much. I don't 170 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.399 think it does much, But I would say that the independent voter who at 171 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:13.639 times was just resigned to two guys I don't want to choose from, and 172 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.080 I'm gonna have to hold my nose and vote for one of them. I 173 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.840 think those are the ones that we've seen react in the way that you're talking 174 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.799 about. Well, I'm okay now voting for this guy because he does. 175 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.480 They may look at what they saw Saturday and say, I perceive that as 176 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:31.679 strength. I perceive that was a monster move for him to come out and 177 00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.480 pump his fist, and that's the kind of guy I want representing the United 178 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.799 States on the world stage. Maybe I don't know. Other people think still 179 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:45.480 are convinced that it was completely fake and that that bandage on aziriait last night 180 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.279 was a little too big. I mean, well, I'm in that camp 181 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.720 that it was a little too big. You saw what happened with MSNBC. 182 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.679 They pulled off that show with jo Yeah and Mika. I think they were 183 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.279 afraid what they were going to say, like, I've had conversation around here 184 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.360 about how I've got a lot of questions about what went down, and it's 185 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.879 like, let's just pump the brakes on the conspiracy theories a little bit. 186 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.600 You know. I think that MSNBC, or I should say NBC, was 187 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.440 terrified that they would go on the air and say baselessly this is a total 188 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:22.960 hoax. But this morning when Joe Scarborough got on the air and addressed that, 189 00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.840 he didn't even look at himself and go, maybe we have dabbled in 190 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.480 things that shouldn't be talked about, or maybe we have been part of the 191 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.039 problem. But I think it was the way they lied to him and kind 192 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.759 of obviously sated. He was right, what we are doing? Food stuff 193 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.639 we could want to you're hungry? No, I had my carrots, I 194 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:50.440 had my apple. Oh okay, now we eat like horses. I didn't 195 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:56.399 realize that Tuesday was horse Day. Most of gen Z uses TikTok to seek 196 00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.200 out health advice. Fifty six percent of gen Z he looks on TikTok for 197 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.200 wellness, diet and fitness advice. Over a third say they use the app 198 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:11.960 is their main form of health advice. Health fourteen percent they get health advice 199 00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.600 from friends, thirteen percent from Google, eleven percent from qualified doctors or trainers. 200 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:24.399 And that's considered go Google. That is considered health. Yeah. Well, 201 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.240 I think a lot of people get their health advice from us. That's 202 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.759 also awful. That's an awful place to get health. That was a joke. 203 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.679 That was just a little joking joke for us. We did talk about 204 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:39.960 this story. Well, we've talked before a lot of times about these smaglatides. 205 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.000 The GLP one inhibitors. Is that what they're called, the wigovi's. 206 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:50.000 What are the other ones? The wigov the ozempic. Zep bound is another 207 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.440 one. You're you're doing the ozempic right, I'm doing the ozep bound. 208 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.039 Gov God, I'm doing a combo of all three. But I'm also not 209 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.200 doing the injections. I'm snorting. Oh yeah, wow, way to get 210 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.039 it in your bloodstrain. It's a it's a trial basis, all right, 211 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:08.240 I see. Are you heating it up first like a heroine like a hot 212 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.120 rail? No? Oh no, don't be ridiculous. I'm snorted cold right 213 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:17.879 like everybody does. Yes, cold. So there is a new frontier to 214 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:22.799 get these weight loss drugs, and it is through your ailment of sleep apnea. 215 00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:26.759 Yeah, damon Sedgwick. For example, tech business analysts in Sydney, 216 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.879 Australia enrolled in a clinical trial a couple of years ago to test whether taking 217 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:37.679 zepbound would alleviate alleviate the sneap Try it again, you see it's starting to 218 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.720 affect me. Are you singing the national anthem tonight? The anti OBCD drug 219 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:47.039 zetbound would alleviate the sleep apnea that had plagued his nights for years. So 220 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:53.159 the thesis is, the idea is that the weight loss from the drug would 221 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:57.279 help open the airways of this guy and other people too. It is true, 222 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.840 but I think you should have to go through other avenues first, right, 223 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.640 Well, just because there's so much that goes on mentally with overeating or 224 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:10.160 over drinking or drugs or what have you. It's not just that you're extra 225 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:14.839 hungry, is it. I mean some people, yes, g genically predisposed 226 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.200 and all of that. Sure, and there are plenty of people who have 227 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:23.519 tried stuff that doesn't work or it's hard to maintain, and the idea of 228 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:29.559 being on one of these things for a long time is less daunting to them 229 00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:34.240 than trying to, you know, go about the whatever weird diet or you 230 00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:38.720 know, crazy plan that they had before that was unsuccessful for them for whatever 231 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.680 reason. Now in this case, obviously it makes sense. You're going to 232 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:47.160 lose a lot of weight, you're gonna cure your sleep apnea most of the 233 00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:52.279 time, and however that weight comes off is good generally. But again the 234 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.119 idea of we don't know what the long term effects of something like this would 235 00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.279 be. They're betting the drug companies, by the way, Eli, Lilly, 236 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:06.240 Novo Nordisk, they are betting that insurers that have been resistant to cover 237 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:10.759 this weight loss treatment will be inclined to reimburse for other uses. We've talked 238 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.759 about the different ways that it has been able. These drugs have been able 239 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.920 to help cure a lot of things that simply are related to weight, and 240 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.640 once you're able to reduce that weight, some of those other conditions that you 241 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:29.559 may suffer from can kind of just go away. So one other suggestion, 242 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:36.279 although not smart, is to try gas station heroin as a way to lose 243 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:41.400 weight. These pills are right next to the Boner Boner x x X pills. 244 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:45.720 You should also steer clear from they're calling it gas station heroin. Gas 245 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:55.400 station heroin. It's tyane nepteine and other compounds names like neptunes, fix zaza, 246 00:18:55.640 --> 00:19:00.000 and tiana. They said. Poison control centers are reporting a dramatic case, 247 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:06.960 dramatic spike in cases that involve tyaneptine, a drug that the FDA has 248 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:11.240 not approved, but you can find in these gas stations, and it's also 249 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.200 available to buy online. Growing number of states have already banned this drug, 250 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:19.559 most recently Florida was the latest, but millions of people in Europe, Asia 251 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:25.920 South America had used tyaneptine, despite the fact that for years no one is 252 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.079 exactly sure what it does or how or how it works. But it's addictive. 253 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.359 It's like high on opioids. They say. A Reddit form for people 254 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.640 trying to quit the drug, many of them called Tia, has grown to 255 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.400 some fifty five hundred members. They describe taking full grams of the drug each 256 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:48.000 day, in some cases more than one hundred times the manufacturers recommended daily dose. 257 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.200 Who is listen? We have a lot of truck drivers that have that 258 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:57.960 listened to the show on a regular basis, and we appreciate them all. 259 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.480 What crosses your mind when you say to the person at the gas station, 260 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:11.240 Uh, yeah, give me a bottle of boner, boner boners xx, 261 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.799 give me a bottle of xxx. And while you're at it, throwing a 262 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:17.839 bottle of zaza. Well, they're right there on the counter, so you 263 00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:21.720 can just slide them in there with your with your corn nuts and your mountain 264 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.880 dew. But it's not truck drivers. I mean, it's just they have 265 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:27.799 it at truck stops and things. It may be some truck driver, but 266 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:33.359 not our truck drivers. Our truck drivers don't need boner bon or boner xxx. 267 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.640 I would hope boner boner boner, you know what I mean. They've 268 00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:42.920 they've they've got more things going on. Doog Google, stop at you guys. 269 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:48.799 You're annoying me with myself from XXXIT. Do you want to as a 270 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.759 X How about your Jeopardy question? Well, I was just going to mention 271 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.720 that from twenty to From twenty seven to twenty seventeen, the National Poison Data 272 00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:03.680 System reported eighty two percent of ty in epteene calls involved men. About fifty 273 00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.079 seven percent of the calls involved men between the ages of twenty one and forty, 274 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.079 So that I don't know if that's prime truck driving time, but it's 275 00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:18.079 don't go google.
