WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to bill handle on demand from KFI A

2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:09.679
<v Speaker 1>six forty KFI handle.

3
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Here. It is a June thirtieth, Monday, last day of June.

4
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.399
<v Speaker 1>We're looking at some of the stories.

5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, the jury is hearing and we'll start deliberating today hearing,

6
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.800
<v Speaker 2>I think jury instructions now in the Sean did he

7
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Coomb's trial and they start deliberating, We're gonna probably wait

8
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.880
<v Speaker 2>with baited breath on that one. And the big beautiful

9
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:37.359
<v Speaker 2>bill is now being voted on segments of it. Amendments

10
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 2>is what the Senate is considering, and we'll see how

11
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 2>many actually go over the line, actually make it and

12
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.679
<v Speaker 2>go over the line. So that's going to be they'll

13
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 2>be voting all day on this one. Okay, going back

14
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 2>to what Israel did and the attack on Tehran and

15
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 2>the nuclear facilities that Iran has. Even for Israel, this

16
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 2>one was a stunner. Now, Israel has a reputation of

17
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 2>having the most well equipped, best trained military in the

18
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.439
<v Speaker 2>Mid East, and it is by a long shot, and

19
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.799
<v Speaker 2>there are reasons for it, one of them being that

20
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>this is a country knows that if it loses one war,

21
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:22.719
<v Speaker 2>it is done.

22
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>It's finished.

23
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.000
<v Speaker 2>That's tough, and also it is a country that has

24
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 2>was created out of the ashes of the Holocaust, and

25
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 2>this is why the attack on October seventh was so

26
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 2>fundamentally viscerally devastating for Israel. That was the largest number

27
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.799
<v Speaker 2>of Jews that were killed in one single operation since

28
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the Holocaust. Okay, so keep that in mind as we

29
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>talk about this in What Israel Did.

30
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>So a little bit of history.

31
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 2>Here, midnight June thirteenth, Israel generals are in a bunker

32
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 2>beneath Israeli Air Force headquarters and they're watching as Israeli

33
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 2>jets are coming into Tehran in an operation they call

34
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Red Wedding.

35
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Figure out the names.

36
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>A few hours later and one thousand miles away, Iran's

37
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 2>top military commanders were dead, all in one fell swoop.

38
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Top military commanders completely dead. It was a combination of

39
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>intelligence for information and military precision precision that even experts

40
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 2>military experts around the world were surprised. But it wasn't

41
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 2>the only success during Israel's twelve day campaign. Another part

42
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.199
<v Speaker 2>of the attack was called Operation Narnia.

43
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 1>And this is after the book and after C. S.

44
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Lewis, you know that series, And what it did is

45
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 2>successfully kill nine top Iranian nuclear scientists almost simultaneously at

46
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.919
<v Speaker 2>their home at different parts of the city, and they

47
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>were able to knock them out.

48
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 1>So what a huge success. It nearly fell apart.

49
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>It really was a huge gamble that had more of

50
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:22.599
<v Speaker 2>a chance of losing than winning. And what this did

51
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 2>has helped Cement, not that it needed it, but Israel

52
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 2>is the dominant military power in the region, and this

53
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 2>is what Israel is thinking, and it makes sense. Israel

54
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.280
<v Speaker 2>hopes that this will be a realignment of countries away

55
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>from the Iranian influence and set up friendly their relations

56
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 2>with Israel. Keep in mind, when the attack October seventh happened,

57
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Israel was on the cusp of normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia.

58
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 1>And if Saudi Arabia.

59
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Goes in terms of normalizing relations, the rest of the

60
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 2>Middle East follows suit. I mean, they just fall into line. Well,

61
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 2>which would not Syria, right, Siri's under new government, how

62
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 2>about Lebanon, his blaws wiped out. Hamas will never agree

63
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:18.439
<v Speaker 2>to a relationship with Syria. They'll go to the last man.

64
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.959
<v Speaker 2>And look what's happening over there. I mean, I think

65
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>what Israel is doing is a crime. I think they

66
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>are I think Israel's committee war crimes with what's happening

67
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>over there. But at the same time, it doesn't matter

68
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 2>how many people die, Hamas will will gladly lose ninety

69
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 2>five percent of the population and have people have no

70
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 2>place to live. Not to make sure it doesn't engage

71
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>with Israel. Well, keep in mind, you know, Hamas is

72
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 2>a millet as a political power, and they always had

73
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>a military wing. Hamas as a political power was founded

74
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 2>on the concept of the destruction of Israel. I mean,

75
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 2>that's how many political parties are created for the destruction

76
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:10.399
<v Speaker 2>of a country that is adjoining it. Well, that's Kamas,

77
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 2>so uh Israel and actually other countries are saying, okay,

78
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe we're going to sign new peace accords following Tehran.

79
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>People are more afraid of Tehran. Countries around that region

80
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>are more afraid of Teyon Tehran than they ever are

81
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 2>of Israel. Israel is not interested in taking over that

82
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.639
<v Speaker 2>part of the world and making it a Jewish world.

83
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Iran is interested in taking over that part of the

84
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:44.680
<v Speaker 2>world and creating its own theocracy. Now, in terms of

85
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 2>the success of the attack, even some Israeli officials were

86
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.839
<v Speaker 2>surprised at how their plans, which date back more than

87
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.480
<v Speaker 2>a decade. Most of this was in the planning stage

88
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 2>for over a decade. Israel plays not only the short game,

89
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>but the long game. Much what happened for example in

90
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Lebanon Hezbolah, remember the pager.

91
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 1>Story where Israel, first of all, Hazbolah was not using phones.

92
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>They decided they couldn't use cell phones because those conversations

93
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.639
<v Speaker 2>could be picked up, so they went to pagers.

94
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, what Israel did.

95
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 2>Is take its time, knowing the pagers were involved, created

96
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:40.480
<v Speaker 2>a company that then distributed pagers and got a contract

97
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:45.399
<v Speaker 2>with Hesbelah to provide thousands of pagers, which Hesbolah then

98
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 2>turned around and gave to its operatives and its leaders,

99
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 2>and Creel just waited and then one fell swoop out

100
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 2>came the signal, and these little pagers, which had been

101
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 2>manufactured with explosives in them, all went off at the

102
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>same time, thousands of them, simultaneously, blowing ears off, blowing

103
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>heads off, I mean, just decimating. Has been a leadership

104
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.439
<v Speaker 2>and its operatives very much the long game.

105
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>That's what Israel does.

106
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 2>So a lot's going on going back, and this is

107
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>a great story because this is an analysis of what

108
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>happened when Israel attacked Tehran, with the United States, of course,

109
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:45.879
<v Speaker 2>attacking the nuclear facilities. So even Israel was surprised at

110
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:51.639
<v Speaker 2>the success of its attack on Tehran, taking out all

111
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 2>of its air defenses, I mean, just wiping out so

112
00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>much of its military, and frankly, the Israeli officials were surprised.

113
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>They were kind of stunned.

114
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:04.759
<v Speaker 2>How these plans, some of them going back more than

115
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 2>a decade.

116
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>As I told you, Israel plays a long game. How

117
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:12.519
<v Speaker 1>it all came together. And the reason all of these.

118
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 2>High administrative people in Tehran. You've got these scientists that

119
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>were all killed simultaneously, nine of them. You had commanders

120
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:29.439
<v Speaker 2>of the Iranian forces all being killed. And here's why

121
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Israel had to hit all of them at once. If

122
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 2>they didn't, they would scatter and the retaliation against Israel

123
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:39.080
<v Speaker 2>will be far stronger.

124
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>The point is there was nobody there, there was no leadership.

125
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Israel took it out, and of course they're going to

126
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:50.720
<v Speaker 2>respond and they have to come together. But when you

127
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.279
<v Speaker 2>wipe out the leadership and won't one fell swoop, it

128
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:58.000
<v Speaker 2>takes time to put it together again. Now this gets

129
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.840
<v Speaker 2>interesting because this goes back to the mid nineteen nineties

130
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>when Israel intelligence first identified the Iranian attempts to build

131
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:13.200
<v Speaker 2>that nuclear weapons program, and from the nineteen nineties, Israel

132
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.960
<v Speaker 2>is now building a network of agents inside Iran.

133
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 1>To facilitate the sabotage.

134
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Causing explosions twice at one of the main enrichment sites,

135
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:33.120
<v Speaker 2>assassinating some scientists, and then doing that cyber attack.

136
00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 1>But Israeli authority said that's not enough.

137
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:42.240
<v Speaker 2>We have to destroy this nuclear program because Nettagnan who

138
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 2>and others have said, you cannot let Iran have the bomb.

139
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Iran has the bomb and unloads it on Tel Aviv.

140
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Israel's basically over. So Israel now has to attack one

141
00:09:55.240 --> 00:10:00.360
<v Speaker 2>thousand miles away. So pilots had to learn how to

142
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 2>fly in formations of six to ten aircraft around a

143
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:08.080
<v Speaker 2>single tanker plane taking turns to refuel. It's never been

144
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.919
<v Speaker 2>done multiple times. They had to learn to position the

145
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>planes perfectly so that the missiles when they were dropped

146
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.639
<v Speaker 2>would land within fifteen to twenty seconds of each other,

147
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:23.200
<v Speaker 2>and they had to be right on point. And they

148
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.399
<v Speaker 2>couldn't train in Israel because Israel is just not that

149
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:29.080
<v Speaker 2>big as two hundred miles top to bottom and east

150
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to west. If you go to before the West Bank,

151
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>it's twelve miles is the thinnest.

152
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Part of Israel. It's a country that is twelve miles

153
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.559
<v Speaker 1>wide at one point.

154
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:46.320
<v Speaker 2>So in two thousand and eight, in what was called

155
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Operation Glorious Spartan I love these names, one thousand, f

156
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.159
<v Speaker 2>fifteens and f sixteens went flying to Greece testing their

157
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:56.120
<v Speaker 2>ability to do this.

158
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Over the next several.

159
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Years, Israel came pretty close to launching an Aratag air attack,

160
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:04.679
<v Speaker 2>but Natinnahu kept on being voted down by ministers and

161
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:09.320
<v Speaker 2>security chiefs fearful of starting a war or angering Washington

162
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:14.399
<v Speaker 2>because they do nothing without Washington's approval, and the military

163
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:18.039
<v Speaker 2>planners kept on gaining. The attack just kept on going,

164
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>including attacking Hamas and Gaza, which they did, Hesbela and Lebanon,

165
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.679
<v Speaker 2>which they did, and then flying over Syria, which they

166
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to do because as the Assad government collapsed.

167
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:37.960
<v Speaker 2>So October seven, Israel spends almost two years decimating Hamas.

168
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.399
<v Speaker 1>It's still happening as we speak.

169
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 2>I had weakened Hesbelah, who's for some crazy reason, decided

170
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:49.080
<v Speaker 2>to attack Israel just in solidarity with Hamas.

171
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 1>Some genius figure that one out.

172
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:53.759
<v Speaker 2>In the meantime, Israel came back and wiped out a

173
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 2>good part of Hesbelah. Israeli spy networks inside I Run

174
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.320
<v Speaker 2>were tracked the movement of the military leaders and set

175
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 2>up drone bases inside the country so they could launch

176
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:15.639
<v Speaker 2>drones against military installations, ballistic ballistic muscle, muscle, missile launching

177
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:22.919
<v Speaker 2>launching sites, air defense systems. I mean, this thing was crazy.

178
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 2>They spent years and bringing in pieces of the drones

179
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 2>in suitcases, in containers, in trunks of cars. Israel had

180
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:41.559
<v Speaker 2>infiltrated Iran over the last twenty thirty years to the

181
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:45.240
<v Speaker 2>point where it knows or it knew everything that was

182
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:49.360
<v Speaker 2>going on, even knew where the scientists were. And there

183
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:54.720
<v Speaker 2>was a real problem going on with the scientists because

184
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 2>somehow they got win that something was up, and they

185
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 2>started to scatter and Israel said, oh no, nope, nope,

186
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.240
<v Speaker 2>And an amazing bit of luck, they all came together

187
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:14.039
<v Speaker 2>to meet in one place, all of these senior scientists

188
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:20.799
<v Speaker 2>to discuss what would happen and how the Iranian nuclear

189
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.639
<v Speaker 2>program would keep on going in the event of whatever attack.

190
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.879
<v Speaker 2>And Israel knew where they met, where they were meeting

191
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Boom one missile went into that building and wipe them out.

192
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I had to tell you it's an extraordinary story of

193
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:44.039
<v Speaker 2>what Israel did and they were able to pull it off.

194
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, obviously I'm pro Israeli, but I tell you

195
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.919
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to screw around with Israel. You really don't. Militarily,

196
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.759
<v Speaker 2>it just doesn't bode well. I mean, talk to Kamas,

197
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.559
<v Speaker 2>which is still fighting. They still I won't give up

198
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:07.000
<v Speaker 2>the hostages. You got me on that one, all right.

199
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:10.879
<v Speaker 2>I want to share with you what happened on Saturday

200
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.720
<v Speaker 2>while I was doing handle on the law. Now, Neil

201
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.159
<v Speaker 2>will tell you, because I've known Neil the longest here,

202
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.039
<v Speaker 2>and Neil will tell you that I've from day one

203
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:23.399
<v Speaker 2>he met me thirty years ago, that I'm always groping

204
00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:28.360
<v Speaker 2>for words that I forget where I am that Frankly,

205
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:33.279
<v Speaker 2>my cognitive abilities are somewhat limited, and I don't have

206
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.799
<v Speaker 2>to worry about the fact they're recently that bad. They've

207
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:40.080
<v Speaker 2>always been that bad. So it's not really a question

208
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:47.240
<v Speaker 2>of aging. Except what happened on Saturday morning. Well, during

209
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.360
<v Speaker 2>the course of the breaks, I walk around because I

210
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.759
<v Speaker 2>am bored, silly, already read the papers, and so I

211
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.519
<v Speaker 2>just walk around. So I'm doing handle on the Law

212
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:01.480
<v Speaker 2>just as I am the show on Saturday morning, and

213
00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:04.919
<v Speaker 2>I went to look at my notes for Saturday night,

214
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.279
<v Speaker 2>my m scene to make.

215
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Sure I got all the pieces of music that we're.

216
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.639
<v Speaker 2>On so I could announce everything, and I forgot I

217
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:15.559
<v Speaker 2>was doing the show.

218
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 1>Completely forgot.

219
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:21.559
<v Speaker 2>I was doing the show, and all of a sudden,

220
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going, oh my god.

221
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.519
<v Speaker 1>I went in and I talked.

222
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:29.519
<v Speaker 2>To Sam, Sam, how long have you been playing this

223
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:38.080
<v Speaker 2>bumper music? Three minutes? I came back, answered one question

224
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:40.440
<v Speaker 2>on handling Law. Someone asked me a question, Bill, what

225
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.639
<v Speaker 2>do I do? No, And I went right into, hey,

226
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:51.159
<v Speaker 2>thanks for listening everybody. I just completely forgot. Okay, So

227
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.679
<v Speaker 2>with that in mind, I've never done that. By the way,

228
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:57.159
<v Speaker 2>With that in mind, let me tell you about a

229
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.279
<v Speaker 2>study that just came out by the pre kind of

230
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>preventative Preventive Medicine Research Institute, and.

231
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.279
<v Speaker 1>It talks about cognitive decline.

232
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:14.039
<v Speaker 2>For example, forgetting you're doing a radio show and going

233
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.639
<v Speaker 2>oh oh, I'm on the air live and having people

234
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:20.960
<v Speaker 2>listen to three minutes a bumper music, which I'm assuming

235
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:24.240
<v Speaker 2>we lost one or two listeners during the time. And

236
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:31.799
<v Speaker 2>what the research shows is that lifestyle changes actually improved

237
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 2>or stabilized brain function in patients with early stage Alzheimer's disease.

238
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:40.440
<v Speaker 2>And how do you tell if someone has Alzheimer's disease.

239
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.000
<v Speaker 2>There's tests for it, for example, doing a radio show

240
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:45.799
<v Speaker 2>and forgetting you're on the air. That's one of the

241
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:51.639
<v Speaker 2>tests that proves Alzheimer's disease. So I love talking about

242
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.320
<v Speaker 2>studies because this is science.

243
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:54.399
<v Speaker 1>You know.

244
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 2>There's occasionally I'll do an anecdotal store story, but I

245
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:01.200
<v Speaker 2>have to tell you it's anecdotal. I've heard or this

246
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.799
<v Speaker 2>is what people are saying, and I always point out

247
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:08.599
<v Speaker 2>that it's anecdotal. This is a full study and it

248
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:12.759
<v Speaker 2>was published last year but now became public and it

249
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:18.559
<v Speaker 2>was led by the Preventive Medicine Research Institute nonprofit that

250
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:25.680
<v Speaker 2>found that brain function and cognition significantly improved in patients who.

251
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Made lifestyle changes. What does that mean?

252
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:32.079
<v Speaker 2>We are not designed We human beings are not designed

253
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:36.480
<v Speaker 2>to last as long as we're lasting, our bodies aren't.

254
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is why we have knee problems, feet problems,

255
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.240
<v Speaker 2>all kinds of problems when we get older and our

256
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:46.039
<v Speaker 2>minds tend to go pretty quickly and the quality of

257
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.079
<v Speaker 2>life tends to fall apart. So a study published by

258
00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:55.759
<v Speaker 2>the Preventive Medicine Research Institute said, here's what we can

259
00:17:55.799 --> 00:18:03.200
<v Speaker 2>do to actually extend the quality of life and substantially,

260
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.279
<v Speaker 2>especially if you catch it early on, If you catch

261
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:10.160
<v Speaker 2>dementia early on, for example, forgetting to go on the

262
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:14.000
<v Speaker 2>air like I did on Saturday morning during a break,

263
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 2>forgot to come back, and that's worth listening to if

264
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:20.160
<v Speaker 2>you want to listen to it on demand. Well, actually

265
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:21.839
<v Speaker 2>you're going to just listen to three minutes of bumper

266
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:22.839
<v Speaker 2>music while I was.

267
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 1>Running around out there.

268
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:32.039
<v Speaker 2>And according to the author Dean Ornish, who is this

269
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.960
<v Speaker 2>is what he does, the earlier you intervene, the less

270
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.119
<v Speaker 2>intense of the lifestyle changes are likely to prevent it.

271
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:43.799
<v Speaker 2>In other words, what he did is he looked at

272
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:46.079
<v Speaker 2>healthy people in twenty twenty four. This is a separate

273
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:50.480
<v Speaker 2>one and saying even modest levels of physical activity twenty

274
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:55.519
<v Speaker 2>five minutes of moderate to vigorous activity a week are linked.

275
00:18:55.240 --> 00:19:00.359
<v Speaker 1>To bigger brain sizes. I guess your brain actually increases.

276
00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:06.880
<v Speaker 2>And advances in diagnostic and prognostic tools. What happens if

277
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:11.319
<v Speaker 2>and when are helping doctors and scientists get a new

278
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 2>understanding of how to measure how to modify cognitive function.

279
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:20.559
<v Speaker 1>By the way, the Food and Drug Administration just to

280
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:20.960
<v Speaker 1>prove the.

281
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.960
<v Speaker 2>First blood test to help diagnose Alzheimer's disease.

282
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.640
<v Speaker 1>So that's pretty good. Now, that's designed for.

283
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.200
<v Speaker 2>People who are having memory problems, just to start with,

284
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.960
<v Speaker 2>not for people that are healthy. We haven't gotten that.

285
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:37.279
<v Speaker 2>We haven't gone that far yet, but here it is. Okay,

286
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:45.720
<v Speaker 2>here's what the study concludes. Diet a whole foods, minimally

287
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:52.640
<v Speaker 2>processed vegan diet, low and harmful fats, refined carbs and sweeteners.

288
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I'd rather lose my mind, thank you very much. I

289
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:02.640
<v Speaker 2>have no problem forgetting that I'm alive. Exercise at least

290
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:07.599
<v Speaker 2>thirty minutes daily of moderate aerobic exercise and mild strength

291
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.200
<v Speaker 2>training at least three times a week.

292
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'll give you that one.

293
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:13.920
<v Speaker 2>I walk every day and I work out three times

294
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:17.319
<v Speaker 2>a week, and I still look the way I look

295
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.359
<v Speaker 2>because I also live at Costco and if you look

296
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>at my freezer, it is one hundred percent Costco processed food.

297
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Stress management one hour a day meditation, stretching, breathing exercises,

298
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:38.359
<v Speaker 2>overseen by a certified stress management specialist. Who the hell

299
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 2>is a certified stress management specialist?

300
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Where do you get that? One? Wow?

301
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Adequate sleep encourage while we work in the morning, good luck,

302
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:54.759
<v Speaker 2>and then support Participants and their partners or spouses attend

303
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:59.559
<v Speaker 2>one hour support group session three times a week focusing

304
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>on emotional support. You know, when I got out of

305
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:09.119
<v Speaker 2>drug rehab, I've shared with you that was a cocaine

306
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:13.440
<v Speaker 2>addict and I spent four years in the lovely throes

307
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:16.519
<v Speaker 2>of cocaine addiction, and I went into drug rehab and

308
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:19.279
<v Speaker 2>part of it is I had to go to AA

309
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:23.400
<v Speaker 2>meetings afterwards or Narcotics Anonymous, and I'd go two three

310
00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.720
<v Speaker 2>times a week, and about six months into it, I'm

311
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:28.279
<v Speaker 2>looking around and I'm listening to.

312
00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:30.079
<v Speaker 1>People pitch and tell their stories.

313
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 2>In the middle of one of the meetings, I stood

314
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:39.039
<v Speaker 2>up realizing I'd rather be a cocaine addict than sit

315
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:44.480
<v Speaker 2>through one more of these, walking out the door, never

316
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:50.200
<v Speaker 2>going back ever again. So the chances of me participating

317
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:53.359
<v Speaker 2>in group sessions, that's not going to happen.

318
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Am I losing my mind?

319
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Neil?

320
00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Am I losing my mind? Or is it about the

321
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:01.880
<v Speaker 1>same as always been? Mostly the same. Good. I think

322
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:04.559
<v Speaker 1>I feel better. What happened on Saturday was because you

323
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:08.000
<v Speaker 1>worked from home. You're studios right there. If you were

324
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:10.839
<v Speaker 1>in the studio, you wouldn't have forgotten to go on

325
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the air.

326
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Well I might have because I was looking at notes.

327
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:17.279
<v Speaker 2>All right, we're done. Tomorrow morning, we're all back again,

328
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.160
<v Speaker 2>starting with wake up call, Amy and Will who has

00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:24.680
