But 6 00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.120 we have a new segment that we've tried a couple 7 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:26.320 of times and it seems to be a lot of 8 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.399 fun and it's we're calling it. Ask Handle anything and 9 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.200 I will answer those questions. 10 00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:33.039 For the most part. 11 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:40.000 You know, FCC violations, no procedures, iHeart no and too 12 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.200 personal no, although I've answered a few that I was 13 00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.119 absolutely humiliated with last week. So if you want to 14 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.640 ask me a question and I will answer it, here's 15 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:49.799 what you do during the show. 16 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:51.679 Go to the iHeart app. It's for you. 17 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.200 If you haven't don't downloaded yet, Go to the KFI 18 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.240 page because it's during the show. At the top of 19 00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.479 the right hand corner on the KFI page will be 20 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.920 a micro phone. Just click onto the mic record your question. 21 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:10.439 You have fifteen seconds to record a question and Neil 22 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:13.359 and Ann will select the questions that I will answer 23 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.159 and I do not know what they are. I have 24 00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.120 no idea, and I hear them for the first time 25 00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.439 as you do, and then I will spontaneously answer the 26 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.280 question without even thinking. I might add because in case 27 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.040 you haven't guessed it yet, I do a lot of 28 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.959 spouting without thinking, as Neil and and will tell you. 29 00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:36.359 My mouth runs. 30 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.280 Yeah, my mouth runs far quicker than does my brain. 31 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.719 And so that's always a lot of fun. It's the 32 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:44.599 third go round on that. 33 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:45.640 We'll see how that goes. 34 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.400 All right, this is a story out of CNN cnn 35 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.599 dot com, so take consider where it came from. And 36 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.840 it's a story about Mark Zuckerberg, who at one point 37 00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:58.840 was dissolution with politics. 38 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:03.439 He at once promoted and he was just over it. 39 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:09.199 Now let's just say he is trying to smooth over 40 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.560 his relationship with Donald Trump that has not been particularly good. 41 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.599 And now it's being reported that Zuck Sucker calls Zuck. 42 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.599 For short, I calls him Zuck is angling for an 43 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:24.840 active role in shaping tech policy in the new administration, 44 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.840 basically setting himself up to work directly with the president 45 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.439 who recently threatened to jail. 46 00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.240 Him for life. 47 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:39.439 Okay, and that gets interesting, and his rival, working with 48 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.360 his rival Musk Elon Musk, who challenged him to a 49 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.719 cage match. I mean this gets really interesting to say 50 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:53.319 the least. Now, does he have much of a choice, Well, 51 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.759 a cage match, not so necessarily, but he doesn't have 52 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.080 much choice but to lay it on and lay it 53 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.879 on thick with Donald Trump, as most of not only 54 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:09.919 political characters do, especially the Republicans. I mean you, the 55 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.360 sucking up to Trump is beyond anything I've ever seen. 56 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:18.199 He can destroy a political career with one post on 57 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:23.840 True Social. There was a keep in mind, think of now, 58 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:29.319 how big is meta? Is Meta as a company? Right, 59 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:31.840 I'll tell you how big. It's a one point five 60 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:39.360 trillion dollar company. Trump says something on True Social, nailing 61 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.560 it and the stock drops like a rock. 62 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:44.919 Does it come back? 63 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:45.520 Yeah? 64 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:46.159 Probably? 65 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:53.639 But Trump has the ability to kill a career if 66 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.520 someone is a Republican with one post, he can destroy 67 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:03.639 business with one posts. I don't think we've ever seen 68 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:09.159 such power in a non president, in a non sitting president, 69 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.680 he can do that. So what are you going to see? 70 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:20.480 Sucking up on a level that is almost impossible to 71 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:24.319 even understand. Well, you can understand it, but it's almost 72 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:30.040 beyond credulity, because Trump is going to be a president 73 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.000 that we have never seen before. He is as much 74 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:40.560 a strong man as we've ever had. It's gonna be 75 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.720 a tough row to hoe or hoe to row or 76 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.759 hoes dealing with it. I've ever quite gotten that completely. 77 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:58.839 So you're gonna see CEOs like Zuckerberg and Microsoft CEOs 78 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.759 and all of them sucking up. 79 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.279 And the other thing is, not only do they. 80 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.040 Have to suck up the Trump, they have to suck 81 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.279 up to Elon Musk because Musk is now Trump's best friend. 82 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:18.959 So all of a sudden, the executives who heretofore, you know, 83 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:26.319 stayed out of politics, right, not so much anymore. And 84 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:30.600 now you're seeing the concept of you bend the knee 85 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:32.920 or you pray, no one notices if you say nothing. 86 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:35.800 And how do we know, well how many companies are 87 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:41.480 backtracking on diversity equity inclusion programs, a Trump staple. Last week, 88 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:44.600 Walmart said it's ending its employee training programs designed to 89 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:54.759 promote racial equity, equity out and evaluate funding for pride events. Now, 90 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.399 a lot of people are saying, and I tend to 91 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:02.079 agree that these diversity, the pro gay rights not that 92 00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:06.000 I'm not in favor of them, but it has gone 93 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:07.399 way too far. 94 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.160 It has. It's a pendulum, it really is. 95 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.240 When you look at the Black Lives Matter and the 96 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.720 anti police movement after after the murder of George Floyd, 97 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.040 it you could see the pendulum swung too far. Now 98 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.199 are you hearing defund the police? Are you hearing disband 99 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:29.839 the police? 100 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:30.319 You are not. 101 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.000 A few years ago, it was woke, woke, woke. That's disappearing. 102 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:38.560 I don't even know how really know how to pronounce 103 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:43.560 woke or define woke. I guess sort of, we know 104 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.120 it when we see It's like Justice Potter during the 105 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.639 early the early pornography cases in the seventies where First 106 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:56.399 Amendment rights were decided in favor basically of pornography, and 107 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.920 Justice Potter wrote in one of the decisions, the majority 108 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.680 decisions advocating First Amendment rights. You know, I can't really 109 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.319 define pornography, but I know it when I see it, 110 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:09.199 and I think the same thing goes. 111 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.399 I think when it comes to diversity programs that woke. 112 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:13.680 At what point do they go too far? 113 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.839 I really don't know, but uh, I know it when 114 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:19.600 I see it, and I think that's what's going on? 115 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.079 All right, I want to switch over to some of 116 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:27.160 the nominees again. I want to spend a little bit 117 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.480 of time talking about Donald Trump. 118 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.199 I'm having a great time talking about that. 119 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:34.680 I'm being more fair. You have to admit I'm coming down. 120 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:41.639 I'm now coming back to reality and taught or Yeah. No, 121 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.120 I was pretty anti Trump. I'm not a big fan now. 122 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.560 But what I do is I took his statements as gospel, right, 123 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:53.879 and I didn't. I really didn't think his statements were gospel. 124 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.040 And I'm now looking at it and trying to analyzeing. 125 00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.600 Okay, let's let's get real. We've got four years coming up. 126 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.839 Well, one of these segments that I want to do 127 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:07.600 that is still kind of nuts is coming up in 128 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.600 that At the bottom of the hour, we'll go to 129 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:10.519 doctor Jim Katy. 130 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.720 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 131 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:16.360 six forty. 132 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.040 It's a hum day, all right. What are we looking at? 133 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.399 Oh, Pastathon, let's talk about that for a moment. 134 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:26.000 A report. 135 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.720 As of ten pm last night, the numbers were Pastathon, 136 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.600 we had raised nine hundred and forty five thousand dollars 137 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.000 about one hundred thousand dollars over where we were same 138 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.960 time last year, and about eighty thousand pounds of pasta 139 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.559 and sauce, so that's forty tons. We hit fifty tons 140 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.200 last year, so we're a little behind on that, but 141 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.519 I haad of last year in terms of money.

Okay, real quickly, and 161 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.159 I wish I had more time. But this has to 162 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.799 do with another cabinet pick. Now you know that Matt 163 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.440 Gates is gone, Pete Hegswith is probably going to be 164 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:05.720 gone as Defense secretary. And now we have a pick 165 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:12.879 of Tulci Gabbard who has been picked as head of 166 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:14.159 National Intelligence. 167 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:16.480 And she is not going to make it either. 168 00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:24.720 Oversight of eighteen intelligence agencies, no, oversight of coordination between 169 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.000 US intelligence communities. 170 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:27.440 And foreign governments. 171 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:28.879 No. 172 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:30.080 What has been the. 173 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.919 Response in Washington among the security people. We're not happy 174 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.919 with it. No, it's a bad choice. How about this one? 175 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:43.240 Utter panic is what's going on? One of the things 176 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:44.840 that Trump is doing and I don't know, really know 177 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.360 the motivation is He's throwing people up there for cabinet position, 178 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:54.320 for Senate confirmation, needed positions that are just insane. It's 179 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.799 all a question of loyalty. I mean, what's her experience. 180 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:06.960 She is Fox News contributor. She ran for Congress in Hawaii, lost, 181 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:12.639 an Iraq war veteran, a very well decorated one, a 182 00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:17.440 staunch critic of US foreign policy. Yeah, was a surrogate 183 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:21.440 for Bernie Sanders twenty sixteen presidential campaign and then switched 184 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:28.200 sides and became a staunch, staunch Megaite and Trump's supporter. 185 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:33.080 And she just wants the United States to get out 186 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:39.399 of everything we do internationally. She formally joined the Republican Party, 187 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:45.240 was a Trump rallies, offering praise for his diplomacy. America first, 188 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:51.240 get out of any involvement with foreign foreign interests, but not. 189 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:51.960 Just get out. 190 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:57.240 She has said publicly that the invasion of Ukraine is 191 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:04.200 Joe Biden's fault. He starred the invasion. Putin is innocent. 192 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.519 He was simply defending his interests. Now there's a little 193 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.240 bit more of that, and that's the push that Ukraine 194 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.360 wanted to join NATO. The United States was not pushing 195 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.559 for that, and therefore Putin, in response to that, invaded 196 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:23.279 Ukraine and Joe Biden somehow is to blame. 197 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.519 She's close to Vladimir Putin. 198 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:31.919 Matter of fact, during the twenty twenty presidential campaign, she 199 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:37.000 was a favorite of the Russian propaganda machine. A month 200 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.919 into her run, there were twenty Gabbard related stories on 201 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:48.519 three major Moscow based English language website. She used her 202 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:56.480 platform to, in fact promote Russian interests, unflitching support for 203 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.279 the Israel campaign in Gaza, which allowed us are going 204 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:04.320 to say you betcha. And Western leaders have failed to 205 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:09.159 defeat this threat because they refuse to acknowledge it must 206 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:12.480 be defeated ideologically and militarily. I think the United States 207 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:15.600 has said that backing up Israel on that one. The 208 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.159 issue with the United States has was with Israel is 209 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.519 the humanitarian aid and the utter destruction of every building 210 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:25.879 in Gaza, which, by the way, I'm fine with. The 211 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:32.639 problem is national security and doesn't believe, does not believe 212 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:39.919 in any of our security apparatus, the national security agencies. 213 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:44.919 The Pentagon has one, certainly, you've. 214 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.639 Got the national security agencies in and. 215 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:51.639 Of themselves all have There're seventeen agencies that deal with 216 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:52.759 national security. 217 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.879 She has said they are all part of the deep state. 218 00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:01.759 And they must be either making a part or completely 219 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:08.519 redone with loyalists. I gotta tell you if I think 220 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.240 she's gonna have a hard time in the Senate in 221 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:12.399 the confirmation. 222 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:12.919 Now, there will be people. 223 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.799 There are Republicans out there who have said public it 224 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:20.600 does not matter who Trump nominates, doesn't matter whatever his 225 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:21.279 choice is. 226 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:24.600 We are backing, we are. 227 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.799 Voting for that person, no matter what. We don't even 228 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.879 need Senate hearings. Let's just vote right now. Yes, yes, yes. 229 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.799 If Charles Manson were alive and he was named attorney general, 230 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.480 there are Republican there are Republican members, the Senate would go. 231 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.720 I am not going to argue with President Trump's choice. 232 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.519 It is his choice, and it is a Senate's job 233 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:56.159 to confirm his choice, not to investigate, not to vote well, 234 00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:02.159 to vote, certainly, not to vet. It is to confirm. 235 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:09.720 The Senate is simply an arm of the presidency. 236 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:16.159 It's insane. It's insane. Okay that one. 237 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.639 By the way, for those of you that are Trump 238 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:20.879 supporters who scream at me, refute this one. 239 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:22.440 Okay, that one. 240 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.000 I want you to say, Oh, you're absolutely wrong. She 241 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:29.799 is qualified. Matt Gates is qualified. We want people who 242 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:35.399 have no experience as long as they're ideologically correct. Coming up, 243 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:40.600 doctor Jim Keiney, who is well. I'll tell you his credentials. 244 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.159 I always do to try to impress you. We have 245 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:45.399 a couple of segments with Jim, and a lot of 246 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:45.840 it has to. 247 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:50.120 Do with fat. I love talking about fat brain decay. Alzheimer's. 248 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.720 I love talking about that too. We'll be back. 249 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:57.480 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 250 00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:01.759 six forty. 251 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.519 As We and the program on Wednesday, and we do 252 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.799 it every Wednesday with doctor Jim Keeney. Jim is the 253 00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.960 chief medical officer for Dignity Dignity Saint Mary Medical Center 254 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.360 in Long Beach and a board certified er. 255 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.960 Doc Jim, Good morning, Good morning, Bill. 256 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.639 Okay, we have some good news and we have some 257 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:25.639 bad news. Let's start with let me see if I 258 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:26.039 can make. 259 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:30.440 The good news bad news. You know, I just I 260 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:35.679 can't on this one. A non opioid pain killer. 261 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:40.320 Now hopefully it is completely addictive and it will half 262 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:42.399 kill you or is that not the case? 263 00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.360 Yeah, I mean we don't know yet, right. So the 264 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:50.759 theory is this is not a narcotic. Narcotics work by 265 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.200 altering you know, chemicals in your brain and they actually 266 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.799 create kind of a feedback where you enjoy that feeling, 267 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.799 and so that's what kind of is addicting. It impacts 268 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:05.319 the brain. This new substance is called souzetra gene is 269 00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:09.640 an investigational you know medicine right now, oral pain reliever 270 00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:14.839 and it inhibits the sodium channels that transmit nerve impulses 271 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.720 before the brain, like at the peripheral nerves and in 272 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.640 the spinal cord, and so that theoretically should stop that 273 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.920 addictive nature that's created in the brain, but it also 274 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:28.599 blocks pain, So we don't know how effective it is. 275 00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:32.680 It's supposed to be comparable to oral opioids like you know, 276 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:37.000 hydro codone or you know vicodin, norco those type of medications, 277 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.039 but we'll see if this is. 278 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.519 If it does pan out, this becomes a blockbuster, This 279 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:49.319 becomes along the lines of viagra, along the lines of 280 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:54.759 the opioids where Purdue you know, created OxyContin and just 281 00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:57.720 I mean it was just billions and billions of dollars. 282 00:17:58.640 --> 00:17:59.880 I assume I'm right on that. 283 00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:03.000 Yeah, I mean, you know, of course, those of us 284 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:04.880 who've been in the field for a while, we always 285 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.759 have this reservation, right because about twenty years ago there 286 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:12.200 was an inhaled pain reliever called penthros and that one 287 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:14.960 is also not a narcotic, and we thought this was 288 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.960 going to be the greatest thing ever. It works immediately, 289 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.599 it's you know, in Australia, it's currently used by ambulances 290 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:24.160 and like sports teams where if you have an injury 291 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:27.680 and you need relief right away, the stuff works. It's 292 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:29.799 known as green Whistle. I don't know where it got 293 00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.440 that name, but it also it seemed to at the 294 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:37.240 higher doses we were using twenty years ago, cause liver damage, 295 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:39.880 kidney damage, and so the FDA banned it in the 296 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:43.920 United States, but they've altered the formulation and they've used 297 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.960 it at lower doses and in Australia they're using it. 298 00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:51.680 So you know, you know, again, was that the opioid industry, 299 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:56.039 the pharmaceutical industry blocking this thing or was it really 300 00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:59.160 that dangerous back then and now it's been improved. There's 301 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:01.000 a lot of ways. Is that something like this can 302 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.839 get tripped up before it gets to the patients. 303 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.480 Yeah, in terms of drug clearances, the FDA and Australia 304 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:12.880 has its equivalent of the FDA, and it's I'm assuming 305 00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:18.599 Australia provides world class medicine, just the first world medical country. 306 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.400 How do they do it? And the FDA says no. 307 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:28.640 So yeah, they I don't know, you know, there's different regulations, 308 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:30.960 different ways that people look at things, and I think 309 00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:34.559 in our country it sounds like this particular drug anyway 310 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:39.200 got banned early on, and the ability to reverse a 311 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.720 band is a lot of you know, there's a headwind 312 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:44.279 to that that you have to overcome, as opposed to 313 00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.759 maybe in a country in Australia where it wasn't banned 314 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:51.880 and it was just not approved, then they were able 315 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:56.039 to continue working with it, improve some efficacy and reduced 316 00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:58.960 impact on patients. So again, and with this other drug 317 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.519 that we're and at the suzetro dene, you know, we 318 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:05.799 don't know yet. Maybe that'll have some side effects as 319 00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:07.880 it comes out that are going to be unacceptable and 320 00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:10.359 people won't like. So we'll see. I mean, anytime a 321 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:13.680 new drug, gump comes out again, I reserve judgment on 322 00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:16.000 it until we start seeing it in the population. 323 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:19.799 Yeah, one of the stories about drugs being okay and 324 00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:23.200 the FDA in their version of the FDA in Europe 325 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:27.599 allowed poldimide to be used right and pregnant women. 326 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.200 I mean, there are still people around that have. 327 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:35.599 These very shortened limbs where you know, I was about 328 00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.839 to make a horrible joke, by the way, I mean, 329 00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.240 do I go there, Neil and make a horrible joke 330 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.039 about politimide victims. You know what. The minute you ask 331 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.240 me is like one of my brothers saying, Hey, smell this. 332 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.640 I want no part of it. 333 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:54.119 Leave me out of this, all right, Jim, I'll tell you, 334 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:54.480 you know what. 335 00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:58.279 I'll tell you the joke at the at the break, 336 00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:00.119 and you tell me if you're offended by that. 337 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.359 Okay, that sounds good, Yeah it does Okay. 338 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:08.680 And by the way, Pelinimide was okayed for use for 339 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:10.599 I think it was a headache or a painkiller or 340 00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:13.559 whatever it was. And pregnant women who took it, the 341 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:17.880 children were born deformed, severely deformed. And I think there 342 00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:20.640 was one person in the FDA that shut it down, 343 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.680 one who said I'm not letting this in. And it 344 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:30.160 saved a whole lot of people's well, a whole lot 345 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:34.440 of deformed otherwise would be deformed kids not being deformed. Okay, 346 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.559 we're gonna come back. I'm gonna tell Jim the joke, 347 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.920 So keep me going with Jim. And then weight loss 348 00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:44.880 drugs they really be maybe a miracle drug, don't know. 349 00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:47.279 We'll finish it up with that and a couple other 350 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:48.200 things with Jim Kinney. 351 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.759 You're listening to Bill handle on demand from KFI AM 352 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:54.640 six forty. 353 00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:02.839 Looking at the store R Supreme Court diving into the 354 00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:08.039 issue of transgender rights.

Jim, I'm looking 376 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.680 at a story about waste weight loss drugs, and every 377 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.480 single week it seems to be that they're doing more 378 00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:23.480 and more. 379 00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:24.200 To help people. 380 00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:27.720 I mean, this is beyond a magic bullet. This could 381 00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:30.839 actually be the kind of snake oil that they sold 382 00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.920 at the turn of the century or last century that 383 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.640 cured everything. Except this may not be snake oil. Oh 384 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:39.599 we know it's not snake oil. I mean it is 385 00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:40.720 Is it that good? 386 00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:43.839 Yeah? I mean last time we saw something like this 387 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:46.680 was statins, where they seem to you know, they reduce 388 00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:49.359 your cholesterol, they reduce your chancel stroke, they reduce your 389 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:51.799 chance of heart attack, and it just went on on on, 390 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:54.720 and of course, you know, as we went on with those, 391 00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:57.119 we learn more about some side effects that might limit 392 00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:00.640 your use. But again also these you know, drugs that 393 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.480 seem to treat multiple things. But yeah, so this has 394 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:07.160 been I've heard whispers of this for a while now, 395 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:09.480 and the studies are now starting to come out to 396 00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:12.720 confirm it, which is that these weight loss drugs that 397 00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:16.200 seem to reduce your cravings for food also seem to 398 00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:19.279 reduce cravings for other things. So I don't really know 399 00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:21.200 where this is going to end. Right now. They're saying 400 00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:25.119 that it reduces alcohol use because people are reporting that 401 00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.440
