WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:08.640 You are about to listen to The Dr. Dahlia Show. Sassy, 2 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:10.269 stimulating talk radio. 3 00:00:10.630 --> 00:00:12.349 And now, here's Dr. Dahlia. 4 00:00:15.109 --> 00:00:16.250 We are back on The Dr. 5 00:00:16.350 --> 00:00:16.870 Dahlia Show. 6 00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:18.750 1-877-DOCDALI, 1-877-D-O-C-D-A-L-I. 7 00:00:18.989 --> 00:00:20.570 So, there's been. 8 00:00:20.929 --> 00:00:35.119 A lot of talk about how Americans are Islamophobic. and 9 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:44.219 they won't ever embrace somebody like El-Sayed Ahmed. And, you know, 10 00:00:46.060 --> 00:00:52.380 here's my issue with that, okay? I think Islamophobia may 11 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:59.950 grow based on Abdul El-Sayed. I'm sorry, Abdul El-Sayed. And 12 00:01:04.170 --> 00:01:09.719 His actions are not helping the Islamic community. Having friends 13 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:14.340 and family who live very close with Muslims in Israel 14 00:01:15.019 --> 00:01:23.120 and in California, and we've seen such community between groups, 15 00:01:25.150 --> 00:01:30.750 that is going to get hurt and destroyed. not by 16 00:01:30.810 --> 00:01:35.689 people's personal biases, but by what some of these candidates 17 00:01:35.909 --> 00:01:40.090 are saying. So if you remember, in March 2026, there 18 00:01:40.469 --> 00:01:45.019 was an attempted attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan. 19 00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:51.640 So initially, Abdul El-Sayed releases a statement condemning the anti-Semitic violence, 20 00:01:52.019 --> 00:01:54.200 praising law enforcement, stating Jewish Americans have a right to 21 00:01:54.219 --> 00:01:58.909 worship and peace. Fantastic. Great, great. I think we all agree. 22 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.230 Just like what happened in Minnesota, the church, Catholic church 23 00:02:02.269 --> 00:02:06.769 getting attacked while kids are in preschool. We all agree. 24 00:02:07.849 --> 00:02:13.750 We condemn violence. However, apparently what followed up from that 25 00:02:15.030 --> 00:02:19.150 is Abdul El-Sayed later had video remarks addressing the attacker, 26 00:02:19.509 --> 00:02:26.240 Ayman Ghazali, an Arab American whose family members, including two children, 27 00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:31.229 he claims were killed by Israelis. in Lebanon days prior. 28 00:02:32.830 --> 00:02:36.110 He said the attack could not be justified, but El-Sayed 29 00:02:36.169 --> 00:02:39.370 tied the violence to the Middle East conflict, saying, hurt 30 00:02:39.629 --> 00:02:48.599 people hurt people. Violence is a cycle. And he said 31 00:02:50.139 --> 00:02:56.259 that these remarks were a risk of an act of leadership. Now, 32 00:02:56.419 --> 00:02:59.219 of course, people were like, what are you talking about? 33 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:06.229 So you're saying that in our Michigan community, there's going 34 00:03:06.310 --> 00:03:13.819 to be attacks because somebody feels across the globe that 35 00:03:13.939 --> 00:03:21.240 that connects our community's temple and church. I mean, are you, 36 00:03:22.419 --> 00:03:25.960 let's say somebody doesn't like what the Pope decides. At 37 00:03:25.979 --> 00:03:28.599 the Vatican. You're going to shoot up a Catholic church. 38 00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:29.840 No. 39 00:03:32.449 --> 00:03:38.930 Somebody. Somebody who died. In this Nepal China. Flood. And 40 00:03:38.949 --> 00:03:42.770 they feel. It's because of the infrastructure. And the lack 41 00:03:42.789 --> 00:03:46.939 of attention. To safety measures. They're going to go. 42 00:03:48.539 --> 00:03:49.060 To a. 43 00:03:50.460 --> 00:03:56.569 Buddha or Hindu church. And you know. sanctuary in America? 44 00:03:57.009 --> 00:03:57.229 No. 45 00:03:59.189 --> 00:04:05.740 That was wrong. And so what I'm hearing from people, especially, 46 00:04:05.819 --> 00:04:09.580 you know, with somebody like Abdul El-Sayed, you know, joining 47 00:04:09.659 --> 00:04:13.960 forces with Hassan Piker, you know, well, you know, we 48 00:04:13.979 --> 00:04:19.269 deserve 9-11. That's on us. Israelis deserve the Hamas attack, 49 00:04:19.410 --> 00:04:23.089 you know. Basically, essentially say the kids deserve to be 50 00:04:23.149 --> 00:04:27.509 raped and beheaded. if you're associated with him, even if 51 00:04:27.649 --> 00:04:29.930 Abdul El-Sayed goes, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not, 52 00:04:30.170 --> 00:04:33.889 I'm not, I don't like what he says. Abdul El-Sayed 53 00:04:33.949 --> 00:04:38.689 is kind of saying some of his own stuff. Now, 54 00:04:39.980 --> 00:04:44.939 I would never fear you elect somebody of any faith 55 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:49.100 that that's going to hurt other people's faiths. But if 56 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.360 this is what he believes, well, there is a level 57 00:04:53.399 --> 00:05:01.800 of justification then how aggressive and how judicious is he 58 00:05:01.860 --> 00:05:10.339 going to be with threats, in terms of criminal prosecution? 59 00:05:14.189 --> 00:05:16.870 And I get that he might be trying to appeal 60 00:05:16.930 --> 00:05:26.560 to his base, who wants anti-Israel rhetoric. And look, We 61 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:31.980 can't even begin to comprehend the conflict of Hezbollah and 62 00:05:32.019 --> 00:05:37.959 Hamas attacking Israel. Israel's not at war with Lebanon. Years ago, 63 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.939 there was war. But the Lebanese government, they don't want 64 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.870 to go to war with Israel. Israel doesn't want to 65 00:05:42.889 --> 00:05:45.310 go to war with Lebanon. But if Lebanon's housing Hezbollah 66 00:05:45.329 --> 00:05:47.829 and Hezbollah is doing what they're doing, there's going to 67 00:05:47.870 --> 00:05:52.569 be attacks. And IDF is going to defend. And they're 68 00:05:52.589 --> 00:05:56.449 going to try to take out terrorists. We can't even 69 00:05:56.509 --> 00:05:59.600 comprehend what's going on there, but it should never affect 70 00:06:00.149 --> 00:06:07.860 our ability to worship. Imagine somebody going after a mosque 71 00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:16.120 after what Hamas did to Israelis, Americans, children. No one did. 72 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.939 No one went and tried to blow up or shoot 73 00:06:20.050 --> 00:06:26.009 or drive a car through a mosque. And if somebody did, 74 00:06:27.750 --> 00:06:33.680 everybody in America, including Jews, would condemn that. Saying, why 75 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:39.399 are you going after innocent people? Go after Hamas. But 76 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:45.300 if your candidates, I mean, Abdul El-Sayed is not helping 77 00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:48.379 the problem. I do not want to see Islamophobia. I 78 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.310 don't want to see anti-Semitism. I don't want to see racism. 79 00:06:50.350 --> 00:06:52.269 I don't want to see homophobia. I don't see any 80 00:06:52.290 --> 00:06:56.769 of that. But if you are going to be, well, 81 00:06:56.810 --> 00:07:04.819 you know, Israel, let's bring back Israel. How are you 82 00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:08.800 running for public office in America? It should be a 83 00:07:08.860 --> 00:07:13.800 no-brainer that whatever happens in other countries should not affect 84 00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:21.180 how we treat our citizens. Now, we might have to 85 00:07:21.459 --> 00:07:25.050 do protections after seeing what Hamas did. Yeah, we might 86 00:07:25.110 --> 00:07:29.209 need to beef up protections because there's some really horrific 87 00:07:29.329 --> 00:07:33.850 anti-Semitism out there. And if there is Islamophobia, we want 88 00:07:33.870 --> 00:07:35.810 to protect our mosques. There was a shooting at a mosque. 89 00:07:37.009 --> 00:07:43.389 But but in was it Australia? But we're not. What 90 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.519 he has said and what he has, you know, kind 91 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.939 of tried to justify wrong.

So we have a tropical storm Dolly. 133 00:10:36.409 --> 00:10:38.649 We knew Dolly when we were going through the different 134 00:10:38.669 --> 00:10:43.500 hurricane names. We knew Dolly could be a real humdinger, hey? Now, 135 00:10:43.620 --> 00:10:46.570 my nickname was Dolly in school. I love the name Dolly. 136 00:10:47.230 --> 00:10:51.049 I do. I miss Dolly Parton. But Tropical Storm Dolly 137 00:10:51.090 --> 00:10:54.330 has erupted in the Atlantic Ocean. Early forecasters are saying 138 00:10:54.370 --> 00:10:58.379 it is going to probably be a hit. Not a 139 00:10:58.429 --> 00:11:00.320 hit in terms of like music hit, a hit in 140 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.500 terms of hitting the United States. National Hurricane Center announced 141 00:11:03.539 --> 00:11:06.759 that Dolly had quickly developed into a tropical storm early 142 00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:09.500 this morning. It jumped past the first stage of cyclone 143 00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:13.039 development known as Tropical Depression and That's after you hit 144 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:17.480 40 mile per hour winds. Once it hits 74 mile 145 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:21.200 per hour winds, it's a hurricane. Early spaghetti models, which 146 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.000 track all possible paths, are showing a very strong likelihood 147 00:11:24.019 --> 00:11:26.419 that it's going to barrel towards Puerto Rico and the 148 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:30.389 Dominican Republic. From there, multiple tracks predict the storm is 149 00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:35.070 going to hit Cuba, Bahamas, and then the coast of Florida. Now, 150 00:11:35.490 --> 00:11:39.029 one model is showing it could veer north, but it 151 00:11:39.049 --> 00:11:42.940 could still possibly hit the Carolinas. NHS officials, according to 152 00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:45.299 Daily Mail, have noted that Dali may be a short-lived 153 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.940 tropical storm, which encounters strong wind shear in the Atlantic, 154 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.350 which could prevent it from becoming a hurricane and dissipate it. 155 00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:56.139 You almost need a slowing down, allowing it to hover 156 00:11:56.230 --> 00:12:00.730 and gain strength. But AccuWeather forecasters warn that there is 157 00:12:00.769 --> 00:12:02.370 a path for the cyclone to make it through the 158 00:12:02.389 --> 00:12:05.850 chaotic Atlantic air and then grow into a bigger storm 159 00:12:05.909 --> 00:12:08.830 closer to the eastern United States, especially if it gets 160 00:12:08.889 --> 00:12:14.980 to the Caribbean. So we're watching this. Lead AccuWeather hurricane 161 00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:17.539 expert Alex DeSilva said in a statement, if Dali can 162 00:12:17.580 --> 00:12:22.340 survive the dry air, wind shear and land interaction near 163 00:12:22.379 --> 00:12:25.639 the islands, the environment does become more conducive for development 164 00:12:26.019 --> 00:12:30.120 and strengthening off the southeast coast mid to late next week. Now, 165 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.779 heavy rainfall is going to impact the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, 166 00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:36.080 and Hispaniola this weekend. Puerto Rico is currently ranked as 167 00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:38.759 having the highest risk for tropical rain and severe wind 168 00:12:38.820 --> 00:12:43.470 from August 27th to September 9th. And sadly, with Hurricane 169 00:12:43.490 --> 00:12:48.389 Maria and previous hurricanes, these tropical storms are battering places 170 00:12:48.450 --> 00:12:53.100 that still don't have recouped from previous storms. 171 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.970 So.... 172 00:12:58.100 --> 00:12:59.139 I know a lot of people are like, well, they're 173 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:03.789 naming this Dolly because Dolly Parton had just passed. No, 174 00:13:03.809 --> 00:13:07.029 Tropical Storm Dolly was the next one in line. Dolly 175 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.759 was already a name that was planned years ago. So 176 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:20.740 the names for Tropical Storms, they're already set up through 2031. So, uh, um, hopefully, um, this, 177 00:13:20.889 --> 00:13:23.919 you know, is able to dissipate. Um, it really depends 178 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:27.110 on the track it takes. Um, you know, L the 179 00:13:27.250 --> 00:13:31.419 El Nino year, um, forms when the surface temperature from 180 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.669 the Pacific Ocean becomes warmer than its historical average. Super 181 00:13:35.970 --> 00:13:39.549 El Nino means those temperatures rise by more than 3.6 degrees. 182 00:13:40.009 --> 00:13:43.850 This flips weather patterns worldwide. So we see more hurricanes 183 00:13:43.909 --> 00:13:46.590 in the Pacific where El Nino happens. But then in 184 00:13:46.629 --> 00:13:52.220 the Atlantic, it usually slows down. And the wind shear 185 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:57.169 and drier air almost prevents the storm. So we want 186 00:13:57.370 --> 00:14:00.990 El Nino years for our Atlantic hurricane season. We don't 187 00:14:01.029 --> 00:14:02.970 want it for the Pacific, which is why we were 188 00:14:02.990 --> 00:14:04.490 kind of getting nervous seeing what was going to happen 189 00:14:04.509 --> 00:14:06.940 to Hawaii. But we don't get really hit that much 190 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:11.399 with the Pacific storms. So El Nino, many forecasters are like, okay, good. 191 00:14:11.419 --> 00:14:14.289 We're good. We're in an El Nino year. But there 192 00:14:14.330 --> 00:14:17.639 could be other issues with that. Dali is the fourth 193 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:20.759 named Atlantic storm to develop this year. Hurricane season goes 194 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.639 roughly from June to November, although some tropical storm activity 195 00:14:24.659 --> 00:14:27.460 sometimes happens in May, which makes them think that they 196 00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:32.159 might need to lengthen the hurricane season starting mid-May. But 197 00:14:32.210 --> 00:14:36.730 the peak of hurricane season is August, September. And here 198 00:14:36.769 --> 00:14:39.330 we are, end of August going into September. This is 199 00:14:39.429 --> 00:14:42.710 usually when we start to see stuff that can affect America. 200 00:14:43.409 --> 00:14:46.980 So we'll keep you posted. The last tropical storm before 201 00:14:47.019 --> 00:14:50.080 Dali was Cristobal. As you know, they go by letters, 202 00:14:50.179 --> 00:14:52.960 alphabetical order, and then they alternate between men and women. 203 00:14:53.259 --> 00:14:56.629 So Cristobal and then Dali or male, female names. Although 204 00:14:56.649 --> 00:14:58.129 they're probably going to be doing away with that now 205 00:14:58.149 --> 00:15:00.490 that we don't say that, you know, a name is 206 00:15:00.789 --> 00:15:05.860 feminine or a name is masculine. So long range forecasters 207 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:10.480 have downgraded their predictions. We were told that there was 208 00:15:10.539 --> 00:15:16.789 going to be 11 to 16 hurricanes expected or large storms. Now, 209 00:15:16.909 --> 00:15:19.509 AccuWeather has dropped it from 8 to 14. 210 00:15:19.509 --> 00:15:19.809 So good. 211 00:15:20.149 --> 00:15:23.269 However, four to seven of these storms could reach hurricane strength. 212 00:15:23.870 --> 00:15:26.570 Three to five named storms will make landfall in the 213 00:15:26.629 --> 00:15:30.289 United States, according to AccuWeather. Well, that's huge. So we 214 00:15:30.549 --> 00:15:34.350 do hope that El Nino weakens it, but there is still, unfortunately, 215 00:15:34.370 --> 00:15:39.789 a lot of risk. For those of you who do 216 00:15:39.850 --> 00:15:41.870 live in affected areas, this is always the best time 217 00:15:41.889 --> 00:15:45.629 to prepare. Now, going to the store when all the 218 00:15:45.690 --> 00:15:48.340 water and supplies are gone or trying to board up, 219 00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:53.100 make sure you have everything you need now. And, you know, 220 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:59.019 because you just don't know. 1877, Dr. Ali, 1877, D-O-C-D-A-L-I. 221 00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:04.070 So COVID is surging. And the dominant strain is the 222 00:16:04.230 --> 00:16:06.830 XFG stratus. I know a lot of people don't even 223 00:16:06.850 --> 00:16:08.730 want to hear about COVID. They don't care about it. 224 00:16:08.730 --> 00:16:10.129 But I got to tell you, I got it end 225 00:16:10.169 --> 00:16:16.250 of July. I'm still coughing. COVID sucks. But this is 226 00:16:16.289 --> 00:16:19.210 what I've seen. So when I had some early patients 227 00:16:19.250 --> 00:16:25.289 with COVID-19, or when the strain started early. I had 228 00:16:25.330 --> 00:16:27.909 called in a pharmacy, and usually the pharmacists are awesome, 229 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:34.039 but one pharmacist on the phone, she's like, really? You're 230 00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:43.779 calling in Paxlovid for COVID's back? Yes, COVID is surging. Well, 231 00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:47.940 I haven't seen anything. Can you please fill the prescription? 232 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.019 Thank you for the commentary. I do appreciate your opinion, 233 00:16:52.179 --> 00:16:56.980 but I'm telling you COVID's coming and we have patients 234 00:16:57.059 --> 00:17:02.799 with it. Well, did your patient test positive? Yes, they did. 235 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.309 That's why I'm calling in the prescription. Can you please 236 00:17:07.369 --> 00:17:12.109 just fill the prescription? I'm like, what the hell's going 237 00:17:12.190 --> 00:17:16.990 on here? I mean, are people now thinking doctors are 238 00:17:17.009 --> 00:17:20.599 just so obtuse that now they just have to question everything? 239 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.759 I get the pharmacies got hit really hard with the 240 00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:31.720 narcotic overdosing, which I blame on cartels in China bringing 241 00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:35.799 in fentanyl. I blame the overdose deaths to that. But 242 00:17:35.859 --> 00:17:39.539 the pharmacies got in trouble if they filled some of 243 00:17:39.579 --> 00:17:42.730 these pill mill prescriptions. And I get how they're ticked 244 00:17:42.769 --> 00:17:45.049 off at the doctors because they were just filling the prescriptions. 245 00:17:45.089 --> 00:17:48.069 And I defended pharmacies on that one. Because you tell 246 00:17:48.109 --> 00:17:49.930 a doctor you don't want to fill the prescription, that's 247 00:17:49.970 --> 00:17:52.430 a problem. I only had one issue with the pharmacist. 248 00:17:53.289 --> 00:17:55.130 I'm not even going to count this one, this woman 249 00:17:55.190 --> 00:17:58.609 questioning me, you know, as it pertained to COVID. And, 250 00:17:58.710 --> 00:18:03.450 you know, I hope she's reading the news. Duh. But 251 00:18:03.490 --> 00:18:05.769 the only issue I had is I wanted to change 252 00:18:05.789 --> 00:18:08.529 a medication of my patient for diabetes because I didn't 253 00:18:08.569 --> 00:18:12.220 like their kidney status. And the pharmacist talked him out 254 00:18:12.259 --> 00:18:15.319 of it. And the patient comes in for a follow-up 255 00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:17.859 and their labs are not good. And I go, I 256 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:22.420 can't believe this. So the medication isn't working. They go, 257 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:24.559 what medication? The one I switched you to last time. 258 00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:26.180 And they said, oh, the pharmacist told me not to. 259 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:28.420 Why? 260 00:18:30.470 --> 00:18:32.950 Well, they said it was cheaper. It was the metformin. 261 00:18:33.430 --> 00:18:37.490 And just take more of it. I go, you have 262 00:18:38.329 --> 00:18:42.910 worsening kidney disease. Who was this pharmacist? So I called 263 00:18:42.930 --> 00:18:46.009 the pharmacist up. I go, I took the patient off 264 00:18:46.049 --> 00:18:51.039 that medication because of his EGFR, his glomerular filtration rate. 265 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.019 It's getting worse. Why would you tell my patient to 266 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:59.720 take more? Oh, I don't remember doing that. Oh, I 267 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.069 was mad. And I knew he did it because the 268 00:19:03.089 --> 00:19:06.170 patient told me the name and the way she described 269 00:19:06.210 --> 00:19:11.440 what he said. I was just blown away. Because I've 270 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.220 never had an issue. Pharmacists are amazing. Pharmacists are your 271 00:19:14.269 --> 00:19:20.950 best friends. That guy was weird. But going back to COVID, 272 00:19:22.670 --> 00:19:25.789 I think the pharmacists are now convinced that COVID is there. 273 00:19:26.410 --> 00:19:29.619 I think, not sure what happened with that woman. It 274 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:33.440 was like, really? But they're increasing nationwide. Positive test rates 275 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.380 climbing since June. Experts estimate that 10 to 15% of 276 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.450 Americans could be affected by this latest wave. They say 277 00:19:41.490 --> 00:19:45.880 the updated COVID vaccines are supposed to strengthen protection. I'll 278 00:19:45.900 --> 00:19:47.299 leave that up to you and your doctor if you 279 00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:52.200 want to get the vaccine. Never should be mandated. Should 280 00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:54.900 be personal choice. Touch your medical provider. But the dominant 281 00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:56.549 strain is an offshoot of the variant known as the 282 00:19:56.730 --> 00:19:59.630 XFG or the Stratus. It was first detected back in 283 00:19:59.650 --> 00:20:05.890 January 2025. So we're seeing the cough, horrible headache, horrible 284 00:20:05.930 --> 00:20:10.349 sinus pain. body aches, fever, but we're seeing a lot 285 00:20:10.369 --> 00:20:13.210 more GI issues. We're seeing a lot of nausea, vomiting, 286 00:20:13.250 --> 00:20:18.410 and diarrhea. This is confusing people because they're taking cyclospora 287 00:20:18.450 --> 00:20:21.619 and they're doing cultures to look for cyclospora with that 288 00:20:21.670 --> 00:20:24.430 outbreak and E. coli and their cultures are coming back negative, 289 00:20:24.450 --> 00:20:27.480 but their at-home COVID test is negative. Keep in mind, 290 00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:29.640 their at-home COVID test might not pick up the strain. 291 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.619 So if you're having GI symptoms and you're negative for 292 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:37.380 some of these foodborne illnesses, get COVID rechecked. I think 293 00:20:37.579 --> 00:20:42.099 every state but two is showing positive tests and spikes. 294 00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:42.900 1-877-DrOllie. 295 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:43.299 Don't go away. 296 00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.180 At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common 297 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.000 diesel problems and their solutions. 298 00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:07.500 For example, diesel fuel cetane levels. 299 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.900 In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is 300 00:21:10.900 --> 00:21:13.920 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with 301 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:16.960 a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of 302 00:21:17.009 --> 00:21:20.569 Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points, 303 00:21:20.789 --> 00:21:24.029 increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a 304 00:21:24.069 --> 00:21:27.190 cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in 305 00:21:27.210 --> 00:21:31.049 your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter. 306 00:21:31.309 --> 00:21:36.930 Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1 307 00:21:37.009 --> 00:21:41.450 Diesel Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on 308 00:21:41.470 --> 00:21:46.230 the market. Lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors, 309 00:21:46.509 --> 00:21:47.819 and a fuel stabilizer. 310 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:51.660 Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme is available nationwide at truck stops, 311 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:55.660 fine farm and auto stores, and online at hotshotsecret.com. 312 00:21:56.220 --> 00:21:59.220 Hot Shot Secret, powered by science. 313 00:22:16.569 --> 00:22:16.890 All right. 314 00:22:16.910 --> 00:22:25.190 We are back on the Dr. Dolly Show. 1-877-DOC-DOLLY. 1-877-D-O-C-D-A-L-L-Y. 315 00:22:26.569 --> 00:22:33.039 So this is interesting. The polls are kind of confusing people. 316 00:22:33.230 --> 00:22:37.279 And I really don't like polls. I really don't like politics, 317 00:22:38.180 --> 00:22:40.420 which is why I'm not going into politics. 318 00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:40.779 All right. 319 00:22:41.069 --> 00:22:44.369 I'm fine with radio. Radio media is enough drama for me. 320 00:22:44.450 --> 00:22:48.170 I'm fine doing my media career. Thank you. And as 321 00:22:48.190 --> 00:22:51.960 well as medicine. A lot of drama there. But a 322 00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:59.920 lot of confusing numbers coming out. Where you're hearing Republicans 323 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:02.869 may be able to hold on to a lot of 324 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.250 the control they have in Congress. Whereas you're seeing others 325 00:23:06.289 --> 00:23:08.829 saying they're losing. Democrats are going to control the House. 326 00:23:09.170 --> 00:23:12.559 Maybe control the Senate. And when you're looking at the polls, 327 00:23:12.779 --> 00:23:15.920 the numbers keep changing. And then you have the DSA. 328 00:23:15.980 --> 00:23:20.990 And it's kind of a chaotic time. But I like 329 00:23:21.009 --> 00:23:23.369 to just talk to people. And I do. I talk 330 00:23:23.390 --> 00:23:25.990 to people at the grocery store. I talk to people 331 00:23:26.049 --> 00:23:27.750 at the airport because I'm at the airport all the time. 332 00:23:28.769 --> 00:23:33.049 I talk to students. I talk to a lot of people. 333 00:23:33.470 --> 00:23:37.619 And by no means is that scientifically, statistically significant in 334 00:23:37.660 --> 00:23:41.700 terms of the data. But I'm seeing some trends. On 335 00:23:41.829 --> 00:23:45.589 one end, you have people say, Trump's ruining the economy. 336 00:23:46.170 --> 00:23:49.329 Gas prices are up. What's going on in Iran? I 337 00:23:49.369 --> 00:23:52.809 still can't afford a home. It sucks. I'm not voting 338 00:23:52.829 --> 00:23:58.789 for Trump. You have other people going, still the same. 339 00:23:59.349 --> 00:24:04.250 No change since Biden. So they aren't blaming Trump. They're 340 00:24:04.269 --> 00:24:11.089 just saying, maybe for them, well, it's others. You know, 341 00:24:11.369 --> 00:24:15.250 they don't blame Trump. They blame still COVID because things 342 00:24:15.509 --> 00:24:18.470 really were screwed up. It's only been a year and 343 00:24:18.490 --> 00:24:22.759 a half since Biden left. So not really enough time 344 00:24:22.819 --> 00:24:27.019 to fix that. And so they're like, you know, they're mad. 345 00:24:28.180 --> 00:24:33.160 I saw somebody post crypto's up. Yay, Trump. OK, you 346 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:36.240 got a lot of people who invested in crypto. They 347 00:24:36.269 --> 00:24:39.890 didn't like crypto crashing. They want a pro crypto president. 348 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:43.200 You got other people really, really happy with their 401ks. 349 00:24:44.019 --> 00:24:49.059 So whoever, and I said this before, during the Biden election, 350 00:24:49.099 --> 00:24:52.970 during the midterms, it's who is benefiting and who's not. 351 00:24:54.089 --> 00:24:57.109 If somebody is really worried about their crypto, and that's 352 00:24:57.150 --> 00:24:59.990 a priority for them, and crypto is starting to rise, 353 00:25:00.690 --> 00:25:02.450 they're going to be happy. If somebody's really worried about 354 00:25:02.490 --> 00:25:07.490 gas prices... which sucked during Biden, still suck now during Trump. 355 00:25:08.410 --> 00:25:12.089 Gas prices are ridiculous. They went down. They went down considerably. 356 00:25:12.150 --> 00:25:14.170 But I understand what's going on with Iran. I get 357 00:25:14.210 --> 00:25:18.490 the conflict. But some people are just obviously very frustrated 358 00:25:18.509 --> 00:25:22.150 with that. They're not going to be happy. Housing has 359 00:25:22.190 --> 00:25:24.849 gone down. In fact, Vegas, in Las Vegas, I think 360 00:25:24.869 --> 00:25:28.200 housing prices are starting to drop. It's about time. So 361 00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:30.700 housing costs are going down. So for those individuals who 362 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:32.460 are like, look, I really need to get into a house, 363 00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:36.460 they might be happy. For those saying, I still can't 364 00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:38.750 afford a house. I need housing prices to go down 365 00:25:38.789 --> 00:25:43.009 to the 200s. They're not going to be happy. And so, 366 00:25:43.250 --> 00:25:49.490 you know, it's interesting. I love political strategy. I don't 367 00:25:49.509 --> 00:25:51.759 want to be in politics, but I love advising Democrats 368 00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:57.079 and Republicans on their campaigns. And one thing I would maybe... 369 00:25:57.549 --> 00:26:03.990 to Trump and his team is you got a lot 370 00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:07.839 of young people that went into the crypto market and 371 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.859 you don't have a lot of the younger people necessarily 372 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:15.099 in the 401k. Those are your older individuals and those 373 00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:17.680 are going up nicely. But if you kind of want 374 00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:20.339 to get to those younger people, get the gas prices down, 375 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:23.460 try to get the housing prices still down. They're coming down, 376 00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:28.259 but not fast enough, but get crypto up. Now, am 377 00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:30.980 I a fan of crypto? No. I only have a 378 00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:33.500 little bit of it. I can't see it because I 379 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:41.869 bought a. 00000027149 sliver of one Bitcoin. I don't know 380 00:26:41.890 --> 00:26:43.390 when it comes to me in the mail. I don't 381 00:26:43.410 --> 00:26:45.509 even know if I'll see it if it does. And 382 00:26:45.529 --> 00:26:50.940 what the postage would cost on that. But your younger individuals... 383 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:55.079 did invest. Many of them did get somehow in. A 384 00:26:55.140 --> 00:26:57.539 lot of people don't have jobs that are doing 401ks 385 00:26:57.579 --> 00:27:01.579 for them, not the younger generation. The Xs and boomers, yes, 386 00:27:01.619 --> 00:27:05.519 and the millennials. And seeing their 401ks going up is huge. 387 00:27:06.460 --> 00:27:09.509 But based on the polls, still not enough from an 388 00:27:09.549 --> 00:27:14.529 economy standpoint. Get the crypto up. That's what the Trump 389 00:27:14.549 --> 00:27:18.089 administration needs to do. Democrats, what do they need to do? Well, 390 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:20.799 What the Democrats need to do is be very, very 391 00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:24.759 careful not to reiterate the talking points that Biden made. 392 00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:30.000 Things sucked economically during the Biden years. So they got 393 00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:33.559 to be very, very careful because they don't want to 394 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:36.170 sound like Biden again. They also don't want to sound 395 00:27:36.210 --> 00:27:39.789 like a socialist or communist. They got to be very, 396 00:27:39.829 --> 00:27:42.930 very careful with that. OK, because the Democrats hurt themselves 397 00:27:42.970 --> 00:27:46.430 by saying, Our commander in chief is physically fit and 398 00:27:46.589 --> 00:27:48.799 fit as a fiddle. He could still do the job. 399 00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:51.299 He could run for another term. And people are like, OK, 400 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:56.019 wait a second here. Really? Even George Clooney, he didn't 401 00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.130
