Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand.
Speaker 2: Pleasure being with you as always.
Speaker 3: We've got a cancer specialist and oncologist who specializes in
Speaker 3: prostate cancer is going to join us coming up here.
Speaker 3: In our next segment, we'll talk about what's going on
Speaker 3: with President Biden and the diagnosis of an aggressive form
Speaker 3: of prostate cancer. And that seems counter to the other
Speaker 3: piece of information that says it's responsive to hormone treatment.
Speaker 3: So I don't really know how that stuff works. So
Speaker 3: we're gonna ask the expert about that. A little confusing
Speaker 3: for me. I may just not be smart enough to
Speaker 3: figure that out. So we asked a question on the talkback,
Speaker 3: and we'll get some of yours here in a minute.
Speaker 3: The question is, would you watch a reality show of
Speaker 3: undocumented immigrants who are vying for citizenship? DHS is considering
Speaker 3: this reality show, and by considering it, I don't know
Speaker 3: if they're genuinely considering it, but they have received the
Speaker 3: proposal and they haven't responded yet, which by definition means considering.
Speaker 3: I don't know how serious though they would be considering it.
Speaker 3: Here's the story. Kay Cal had the story, but they
Speaker 3: talked to the producer who pitched the idea as well.
Speaker 3: Now wait until you hear what he has to say,
Speaker 3: and I'll tell you why I would watch it for generations.
Speaker 4: The creator of The Hunger Games.
Speaker 5: Hollywood has made movies, Welcome to v scames and TV
Speaker 5: shows starring people who will do anything to get rich.
Speaker 3: Take home this generational wealth of five million.
Speaker 2: Dollars, or just survive hard Time or Prime Time.
Speaker 3: Newish.
Speaker 2: One I loved was just Wipeout. That was so great.
Speaker 2: Just wipe Out.
Speaker 3: I mean, those people took some brutal hits, but everybody
Speaker 3: was okay, big padded thing. I loved it. I loved
Speaker 3: wipe Out.
Speaker 5: The Trump administration and Homeland Security Director Christy nom are
Speaker 5: reportedly considering a new reality TV series that would star immigrants.
Speaker 2: To become US citizens.
Speaker 6: Everybody who's going to be on this show is going
Speaker 6: to volunteer to be on this show.
Speaker 5: The man who wants to produce the show Rob Warsof,
Speaker 5: a Canadian American whose past credits include Duck Dynasty, Dating Naked,
Speaker 5: and The Millionaire Matchmaker.
Speaker 3: Did I've seen Millionaire Matchmaker? Unfortunately saw Duck Dynasty. That
Speaker 3: was just poking fun at rednecks. Have you seen the
Speaker 3: dating naked Did we see that? Did you guys see
Speaker 3: dating naked?
Speaker 2: I did not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would not do that. I got to get
Speaker 3: you to fall in love with me before you get
Speaker 3: to see what's underneath. Because if we go to first,
Speaker 3: you know, third base first, then you're not gonna go
Speaker 3: on a second date.
Speaker 2: So there's no dating naked here.
Speaker 5: We spoke with Warsof about his pitch to the Department
Speaker 5: of Homeland Security.
Speaker 6: Once you get past the shocking headline of like, oh,
Speaker 6: it's the Hunger Games for immigration, it's not.
Speaker 2: It's not that at all.
Speaker 6: This show would offer the opportunity for one lucky person
Speaker 6: of America's choosing to skip to the front of the
Speaker 6: line in that process.
Speaker 3: Okay, so not the Hunger Games. So no deportation if
Speaker 3: you lose.
Speaker 6: And fast track there way the citizenship.
Speaker 3: But come on, I mean, we would know what you
Speaker 3: look like, we know that you don't have documents, and
Speaker 3: I mean they're gonna they're gonna come get you. So
Speaker 3: it is deportation if you lose.
Speaker 6: I think this show is gonna celebrate and humanize the
Speaker 6: people in that journey to actually sort of get to
Speaker 6: know the real people behind it and their stories and
Speaker 6: their backstories, and we're gonna cheer for them and we're
Speaker 6: gonna love them.
Speaker 3: Ah, there you go. That's the reason that DHS should
Speaker 3: not do this. It's the reason that we would watch
Speaker 3: the idea that we're going to humanize people because the
Speaker 3: DHS is gonna say no because they're worried about the backlash.
Speaker 2: They don't want to you can't do something like that.
Speaker 3: Although with this administration, the more you tell them that
Speaker 3: they can't do something, that's some more more likely than
Speaker 3: they are gonna do it. But I think in the
Speaker 3: end they're gonna say, now, this is gonna look this
Speaker 3: is gonna look bad, this is gonna make us look
Speaker 3: really bad.
Speaker 2: We're not gonna do that.
Speaker 3: But the real reason they should say no is that
Speaker 3: the portrayal may have the effect of humanizing people that
Speaker 3: are in the country illegally. The momentum with these mass
Speaker 3: deportations hinges on the majority of Americans dehumanizing the undocumented.
Speaker 2: To be able to point and say you're a criminal.
Speaker 3: You are, and then what we do is we say,
Speaker 3: we're going to put you in this box, We're going
Speaker 3: to identify you in this way.
Speaker 2: And because I've labeled you.
Speaker 3: Because I've identified you, and because I regard you in
Speaker 3: this manner, I now feel morally justified in sending you
Speaker 3: out of the country. If you humanize people and you
Speaker 3: find out that someone is working a cash only, low
Speaker 3: paying job because they're fleeing from some disaster elsewhere, or
Speaker 3: because they're taking care of their child and their brother
Speaker 3: or sister's kids as well, and they're just trying to
Speaker 3: get by. If we humanize people and then they're deported again,
Speaker 3: suppose you've got fifteen contestants and only one wins. You're
Speaker 3: gonna take a look at those other fourteen and at
Speaker 3: some point news will come out that they're being deported.
Speaker 3: It will, it will happen, and when that happens, people
Speaker 3: are gonna go, wait a minute, I saw that person
Speaker 3: on the TV show, and that person was had this
Speaker 3: redeeming quality. That person had that redeeming quality. And if
Speaker 3: they have redeeming qualities, we relate to them, and if
Speaker 3: we relate to them, we don't want to see bad
Speaker 3: things happen to them. And if we see bad things
Speaker 3: happen to them, we don't look at them as the criminals.
Speaker 3: We then look at the government as being the unjust
Speaker 3: enforcers of something we regard as unethical, whether it's legal
Speaker 3: or illegal, we look at it as unethical and not right, okay,
Speaker 3: And so that's why DHS really should not do this
Speaker 3: if they want to continue with the immigration crackdown. It's
Speaker 3: also the reason I would watch that's I want to
Speaker 3: see the human aspects of things, because what we do
Speaker 3: is we say, the people who are coming into our
Speaker 3: country are rapists, are murderers, they're from insane asylums, and
Speaker 3: what do we do and some I suppose might be
Speaker 3: good people? Right, those are the terms we use to
Speaker 3: describe people that are in this country without documents. We
Speaker 3: don't say as a husband and a father trying to
Speaker 3: provide for their wife and children. Because if we say
Speaker 3: they're struggling, like we're struggling, they have similar life experiences.
Speaker 3: They've got this other hardship they're overcoming, they're fighting.
Speaker 2: We love an underdog story, and if you start.
Speaker 3: Making people relate to those who are undocumented immigrants, suddenly
Speaker 3: we start rooting for the underdog. And that's not what
Speaker 3: this administration is gonna want. If they want to continue
Speaker 3: the crackdown, they're just not going to want that at all.
Speaker 3: So that was our talkback question on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 3: on what your thoughts on that as well?
Speaker 7: Oh here's another one for you. If you do the
Speaker 7: illegal aliens show that they compete to be able to stay,
Speaker 7: but add a twist into it.
Speaker 3: Oh, another twist is if the premise wasn't twisting enough,
Speaker 3: what is it?
Speaker 7: Get a group of homeless cats.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, where are you going with this one?
Speaker 7: Get a group of homeless cats?
Speaker 3: Okay, homeless cats. They have to eat the cats. Where
Speaker 3: are you going with this?
Speaker 7: Or even ones from the shelter. And it's a known
Speaker 7: fact that if you are a bad person or have
Speaker 7: bad vibes.
Speaker 2: Oh you hurt animals, right, a cat will.
Speaker 7: Not go to you. So whoever has a cat that
Speaker 7: stays with him the longest, well I can win. Great show, guys.
Speaker 8: Bye?
Speaker 3: Is that true? Is it a known fact that cats
Speaker 3: won't come near you if you're if you have bad vibes?
Speaker 9: I think that that's pretty made up. But I'm not
Speaker 9: mad at the logic behind her game. I think it
Speaker 9: was very creative.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's creative, but I also think like
Speaker 3: she's trying to justify why she walks around with tuna
Speaker 3: fish in her pockets all day long.
Speaker 9: Well, I also heard of a thing called cat ism.
Speaker 9: If you think all cats are bad, or all cats
Speaker 9: are good, or all cats are ora oracles of you know,
Speaker 9: you're performing catism all cats are different?
Speaker 3: Is that a thing where we think cats are oracles?
Speaker 9: Well, I asked the talkback lady. I think that she
Speaker 9: she has some strong feelings about cats, and I'm not.
Speaker 2: My cat only faces south in the litter box. That
Speaker 2: means my cat thinks that the equator is north.
Speaker 3: What what's proof of aliens? My cats?
Speaker 2: An oracle?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: All right, all right, hey Chris and.
Speaker 2: Group, that's you, Kayla your group?
Speaker 4: Okay, damn it?
Speaker 7: Okay, No, I would not want to watch a TV
Speaker 7: show like that.
Speaker 3: What if we added cats?
Speaker 7: I have a hard time watching Naked and Afraid?
Speaker 2: How did he know we went straighten Naked and Afraid.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of with her, though.
Speaker 3: I have trouble watching the first few episodes of Naked
Speaker 3: and Afraid. But then after they've been out there for
Speaker 3: a while, they start to they start to really trim up,
Speaker 3: and then they start to get hot, and then.
Speaker 7: I'm in so watching that illegal show. No I just
Speaker 7: wouldn't do anything for me. Okay, sorry, all right, love
Speaker 7: your show.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, what if we made people who are
Speaker 3: here undocumented naked and had to attract cats?
Speaker 2: I think we've just we just hit on the winner, guys.
Speaker 4: I think we should stop talking about.
Speaker 2: It on a winner.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we did.
Speaker 9: We should create this and keep it as an.
Speaker 3: Give it away the good got good ideas?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I love it.
Speaker 3: All right, thank you so much for crowdsourcing the naked
Speaker 3: and illegal uh reality show that we're going to create.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. All right. Bad news for former
Speaker 3: President Joe Biden has been diagnosed an aggressive form of
Speaker 3: prostate cancer. We're gonna find out just how aggressive that
Speaker 3: is and why didn't they catch this sooner.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3: Chris Merril CAFI AM six forty more stimulating talk on
Speaker 3: demand anytime in the iHeartRadio app and today's program. You'll
Speaker 3: find all right on the Featured Segments podcast in the
Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty dot com.
Speaker 2: All right, if you missed it.
Speaker 3: A spokesman for former President Joe Biden says that he's
Speaker 3: been diagnosed he's got an aggressive form of prostate cancer.
Speaker 3: So what I'm hearing is doctors found a nodule on
Speaker 3: his prostate on Friday. They wanted to do further evaluation,
Speaker 3: and they said he's got cancer. That is a statement
Speaker 3: from the former president and his family. They are looking
Speaker 3: at treatment options. Joining us right now is doctor Tanya Dorf.
Speaker 3: She's a professor in the Department of Medical Oncology and
Speaker 3: Therapeutics Research with the City of Hope and an oncologist
Speaker 3: who specializes in prostate cancer as well as a number
Speaker 3: of other cancers.
Speaker 2: Doctor Dorf, thank you so much for being with us.
Speaker 2: How what is this?
Speaker 3: What is this cancer that we think that former President
Speaker 3: Biden has and how common is this?
Speaker 10: Prostate cancer is extremely common. You know, close to three
Speaker 10: hundred thousand men in the United States are diagnosed each year. Fortunately,
Speaker 10: it's most often diagnosed in a curable state. What we're
Speaker 10: hearing is words like aggressive, So you know, even in
Speaker 10: those more advanced aggressive cases, it's important to realize that
Speaker 10: we have very effective treatments for prostate cancer thanks to
Speaker 10: a lot of advances, and so there's still a hope
Speaker 10: for even in advanced for many years of good quality
Speaker 10: life with effective treatment.
Speaker 3: So they talk about this being and it helped me
Speaker 3: understand this, so I know so very little about it.
Speaker 3: They talk about it being a responsive to hormone treatment,
Speaker 3: but that it has it spread as I was reading,
Speaker 3: spread into his metastasized to the bone. Is when I'm
Speaker 3: reading the New York Times reporting that, So that sounds
Speaker 3: bad to me.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I can't speak to President Biden's case specifically. And
Speaker 10: just to take a step back, you know, sure all
Speaker 10: of us at the City of Hope recognize how life
Speaker 10: changing a cancer diagnosis is, and our thoughts go out
Speaker 10: to President Biden and his family. And these words like
Speaker 10: aggressive or metastasized, they can can certainly be very scary.
Speaker 10: But generally speaking, even when prostate cancer has spread to
Speaker 10: other parts of the body, it is still very treatable.
Speaker 10: There is still very effective treatment that can help manage
Speaker 10: the cancer for many years with good quality of life.
Speaker 10: And it does tend to start with hormone type therapy.
Speaker 3: So okay, so hormone therapy, and then I mean we're
Speaker 3: talking chemotherapy, were talking radiation, what other sorts of things
Speaker 3: might someone go through? Not the President specifically, because we
Speaker 3: don't know enough details. And obviously you're not as doctor,
Speaker 3: but what do you normally see? You see it starts
Speaker 3: with hormone therapy and then what might be the next steps.
Speaker 10: Well, so prostate cancer takes a very multidisciplinary approach, and
Speaker 10: beyond standard hormone therapy, we do DOUBLET or triplet adding
Speaker 10: more sophisticated drugs like androgen receptor pathway inhibitors. We sometimes
Speaker 10: do use chemotherapy, we sometimes do apply radiation, and it's
Speaker 10: really important for people to get a specialized opinion in
Speaker 10: a commerhensive cancer center that will provide multidisciplinary management so
Speaker 10: that every tool that can possibly help is available and
Speaker 10: apply to a person's case.
Speaker 3: Okay, is there a way because now this kind of
Speaker 3: thing scares a hell out of me because I have
Speaker 3: something in common with President Biden, and that is I
Speaker 3: have prostate So what should I be doing now to
Speaker 3: avoid diagnosis like that.
Speaker 2: In the future.
Speaker 10: Well, the good news is there is screening and that's
Speaker 10: part of why most prostate cancer is detected at an
Speaker 10: early stage and very curable. So screening is generally done
Speaker 10: with a blood test called PSA, and that's something that
Speaker 10: all men in that age range should speak to their
Speaker 10: physician about Obviously, cancer screening has to be balanced against
Speaker 10: a patient's overall health conditions, but PSA screening is something
Speaker 10: that men can be and should be doing in order
Speaker 10: to have the potential to be diagnosed with more early stage,
Speaker 10: more curable prostate cancer.
Speaker 3: Doctor Tamy Dorff is a professor of the Department of
Speaker 3: Medical and Coology and Therapeutics Research at the City of
Speaker 3: Hope and specializing in prostate cancer and bladder cancer, TIS
Speaker 3: together cancer PAL cancer.
Speaker 2: She's been, She's been.
Speaker 3: She's written one hundred plus papers on this stuff and
Speaker 3: knows are stuff better than anybody in the country. So,
Speaker 3: doctor Dorff, the president is one of the most and
Speaker 3: he's only been out office for a few months. He's
Speaker 3: he's one of the most highly monitored individuals in the country.
Speaker 3: How come this doesn't show up in past physicals?
Speaker 2: I mean, what does this? Does this sort of thing
Speaker 2: pop up this quickly?
Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, we generally think of prostate cancer as more
Speaker 10: of a slow growing cancer, and that provides us the
Speaker 10: opportunity to do screening and detect it early. There are
Speaker 10: some cases that present more aggressively and have already spread
Speaker 10: by the time we detect them.
Speaker 3: What if, how does somebody know if if they okay,
Speaker 3: if I had a PSA test at my last physical,
Speaker 3: but I might be experiencing something. What what might that
Speaker 3: something that would send me back to the doctor and say,
Speaker 3: something's not right. What are my signs or symptoms?
Speaker 10: Most of the time it's it's there are no symptoms, right,
Speaker 10: So it can be as simple as noticing a change
Speaker 10: the PSA last year or two years ago was three
Speaker 10: and now it's four, Or it was two and now
Speaker 10: it's four. You know, it's the change in the number
Speaker 10: as well as the absolute number. But some men will
Speaker 10: have some symptoms, some urinary symptoms that might also lead
Speaker 10: to to referral to urology and a possible diagnosis like.
Speaker 3: What is that like like increased frequency or I mean,
Speaker 3: what what might that be? We can be listening, we
Speaker 3: can it's Sunday, nobody's listening. We can get a little
Speaker 3: a graphic here what might well be experiencing.
Speaker 10: I mean, I don't want to worry people because it's
Speaker 10: very common that benign enlargement of the prostate causes men
Speaker 10: to get up and urinate frequently at night and have
Speaker 10: urinary frequency or urgency. So I don't want people to
Speaker 10: be worried that that means they have cancer. It's much
Speaker 10: more common that there are no symptoms than that we
Speaker 10: pick it up on the blood test. But you know,
Speaker 10: if someone is having persistent symptoms and not getting released,
Speaker 10: you know, with standard measures, then I think discussing with
Speaker 10: the urologist and making sure you've had a PSA checked
Speaker 10: is a good place to start.
Speaker 2: So that does that PSA?
Speaker 3: Does that replace the old getting to know your doctor
Speaker 3: a little more intimately a test that we've.
Speaker 2: Had in past years.
Speaker 10: Not that it replaces, but there are there's a limited
Speaker 10: amount that we can find on a rectal exam. Rectal
Speaker 10: exam is still considered to be helpful, and I certainly
Speaker 10: have seen patients where their PSA was normal, but their
Speaker 10: doctor did a rectal exam and felt something and that
Speaker 10: led to their diagnosis. So they provide you know, different information.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I'm fascinated by all of this, and
Speaker 3: now I'm thinking that it doesn't matter what I eat,
Speaker 3: doesn't matter if I'm exercising.
Speaker 2: This sort of thing is just kind of random.
Speaker 10: It absolutely matters that you eat healthy and exercise. You know,
Speaker 10: these things are known to be good for us overall.
Speaker 10: Waiting carcinogenic subsans of in foods, right, will help reduce
Speaker 10: our risk of cancer across the spectrum. But you know,
Speaker 10: there's not necessarily a specific set of recommendations to avoid
Speaker 10: prostate cancer.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, it's not like smoking and lung cancer
Speaker 3: and that correlation kind of thing, right, I mean, it's
Speaker 3: just general help.
Speaker 10: There aren't strong correlations. Okay, yeah, I mean you know, yeah,
Speaker 10: so many men get diagnosed, and sometimes there's a genetic predisposition, right,
Speaker 10: so if there's a family history, that's certainly a reason
Speaker 10: to pay attention and get PFA screening. You know, if
Speaker 10: you have a brother or a father who is diagnosed
Speaker 10: with prostate cancer, that that does significantly increase your risk
Speaker 10: of being diagnosed with one.
Speaker 3: All right, well, listen, I actually feel a little bit
Speaker 3: better now because, like you said, we've heard some pretty
Speaker 3: scary words, right, aggressive, fantasticized, those are scary words. So
Speaker 3: thank you so much for putting our minds at ease
Speaker 3: and give us a little more information with appreciate that,
Speaker 3: doctor Tanya Dwarf.
Speaker 2: Pleasure having you on. I can't well, actually I can wait.
Speaker 3: I hope that we don't have to talk to you
Speaker 3: very often because that would mean more people with cancer.
Speaker 3: So yeah, but if that, you know, if it happens,
Speaker 3: you're pretty good. Okay, thank you so much, doctor Dorf
Speaker 3: on College A specializing prostate cancer City.
Speaker 2: I hope pleasure having you on the program. I feel
Speaker 2: smarter now.
Speaker 3: You noticed, Kyla, she said that those healing crystals you've
Speaker 3: been trying to sell me they don't do any good either.
Speaker 3: She never brought that up. So it looks like I
Speaker 3: am gonna need a return on my investment. Thank you
Speaker 3: char much.
Speaker 2: All right, well we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3: On demand anytime in the iHeart Radio app. So we
Speaker 3: asked the question, would you watch a reality show of
Speaker 3: undocumented immigrants vuying for citizenship? Dhs is considering as a producer,
Speaker 3: has pitched the idea would you watch it? Was our
Speaker 3: question on the talk back. If you're listening on the
Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app, just click on that talkback button and record
Speaker 3: a little message you got seconds. By the way, if
Speaker 3: you go over then you just get cut off. It's
Speaker 3: not even me cutting you off. It's just the system.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like the old days of running out
Speaker 3: of tape on the answering machine. So you got thirty seconds?
Speaker 3: All right, just tell me which are the thirty seconds?
Speaker 2: Uh so what say you?
Speaker 8: Hey, Chris? It was already a program done early two
Speaker 8: dozands and Channel CC two. It's a reality show based
Speaker 8: off of Fear Factor. Who's called really translates to when
Speaker 8: the Green then we get help with immigration papers when
Speaker 8: they were the program.
Speaker 3: Okay, so somebody already did that on Spanish language TV. Well, yeah,
Speaker 3: this would be network. Are you kind of surprised we
Speaker 3: don't have a White House Entertainment uh network? Remember what
Speaker 3: like like we have for you know, you got like
Speaker 3: the well we don't have the PAC twelve network anymore,
Speaker 3: but you got like the Big ten network for your
Speaker 3: UCLA and USC games, and you got uh, you got
Speaker 3: the you know, the Yankees have like the Yes Network,
Speaker 3: the Yankee I'm just kind of surprise we don't have
Speaker 3: a I guess we sort of do with c SPAN.
Speaker 3: Not very entertaining at all. All right, what about you? Hey,
Speaker 3: this is chat here in La.
Speaker 11: I really enjoy your show and thank you everything that
Speaker 11: you're saying.
Speaker 2: Everything Kayla. He enjoys everything else.
Speaker 9: I don't know, maybe he's one of the ones that
Speaker 9: get that get high.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Kayla needs to chill. Just keep that
Speaker 2: in mind.
Speaker 11: I had as far as this documentary documentary, but this
Speaker 11: reality thing, Yeah, it's not hundred games. It's it's it's
Speaker 11: Running Games, that old movie with our former governor. Yeah,
Speaker 11: Running Games. It's just prisoners who are trying to basically
Speaker 11: get out, but at the end all their bodies were
Speaker 11: found down somewhere and nobody got out. So yeah, it's
Speaker 11: this is running Games.
Speaker 2: Did you see that Running Man? Right?
Speaker 3: That was his movie Running Oh, I get what he's saying.
Speaker 3: He's saying Running Man versus I got you. Yeah, Running
Speaker 3: Man and Hunger Games. Okay, I'm down. That's kind of
Speaker 3: what it is. He's right in the end, we're all
Speaker 3: soilent green. Now that's another one, altogether different all together.
Speaker 3: I'm just confusing all the different old shows. Walmart says
Speaker 3: they're going to raise prices, always, raise prices always.
Speaker 12: The nation's largest retailer says it is hiking its prices
Speaker 12: to offset rising import costs due to the President's tariffs.
Speaker 2: How dare they?
Speaker 12: Walmart says shoppers can expect to start to see those
Speaker 12: increases towards the end of this month. ABC's Christian Cordero
Speaker 12: has more.
Speaker 3: Christian this morning.
Speaker 13: America's largest retailer, known for offering great deals on everyday products,
Speaker 13: is bracing for the White House to strike lasting deals
Speaker 13: of its own with major trading partners. Tariffs are expected
Speaker 13: to drive prices up on all imports. In its earnings call,
Speaker 13: Walmart CEO saying customers will feel a pinch uh uh.
Speaker 14: We will do our best to keep our prices as
Speaker 14: low as possible, but given the magnitude of the tariffs,
Speaker 14: even if the reduced levels announced this week, we aren't
Speaker 14: able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of
Speaker 14: narrow retail margins.
Speaker 3: And let's remember, we got to pay ourselves. The Waltons
Speaker 3: didn't become the wealthiest family in American history.
Speaker 2: But losing cash all right, people.
Speaker 3: So when we say we're going to do everything we can,
Speaker 3: we mean not quite everything we can.
Speaker 14: And retail managing inventory is always important.
Speaker 3: Also full disclosure, I bought Walmart during the last recession
Speaker 3: for this very reason.
Speaker 13: The company expects the cost will hit back to school
Speaker 13: shopping as it likely looks to adjust pricing on non
Speaker 13: essential items first, so that grossery items like bananas, avocados,
Speaker 13: and coffee are less affected.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well coffee is going up anyway. We're getting hit
Speaker 3: by that anyway.
Speaker 15: What we hope happens is that there are changes from
Speaker 15: a policy point of view that help us get prices
Speaker 15: back ex. Tariffs on bananas and things that we don't
Speaker 15: grow here. So food inflation is very much on our mind.
Speaker 3: Okay, So remember when the well, they're America's largest retailer,
Speaker 3: was the online retailer Amazon, and there was the rumor
Speaker 3: that they were going to add the they were they
Speaker 3: were going to show what you were paying in tariffs.
Speaker 3: Remember that was what, oh god, what was that like,
Speaker 3: six seven, eight, ten, twelve years ago? Oh no, it
Speaker 3: was last week that that they said, you know, we're
Speaker 3: going to start showing how much the tariffs are costing you.
Speaker 3: And then Trump called Bezos and said, not Basis, but
Speaker 3: called the yeah Amazon Bezos and said.
Speaker 2: Hey, dude, what do you what do you don't do that?
Speaker 2: And Basis went, whoa, We're not doing that.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: This is internet rumor, President Trump, We're not doing that.
Speaker 3: So Trump said, yeah, don't make me look bad because
Speaker 3: you don't want my wrath and Besis went, nah, we're
Speaker 3: not going to do that. Well now, of course, Walmart
Speaker 3: actually said it in the meeting, and that did not
Speaker 3: make President Trump very happy.
Speaker 16: Tonight, President Trump is warning Walmart against raising prices, telling
Speaker 16: the nation's biggest retailer engrosser to quote eat the tariffs.
Speaker 3: Oohooo, barbecue tariffs.
Speaker 16: The President returned to Washington, d C. Last night, wrapping
Speaker 16: up a three nation trip to the Middle East. CBS
Speaker 16: is Willie James Enman is at the White House.
Speaker 2: Willie, what did he say?
Speaker 3: Eating to you?
Speaker 17: The President spent the day here at the White House,
Speaker 17: out of sight as he faces pushback on his so
Speaker 17: called big beautiful bill and tariffs.
Speaker 2: All right, get to the point.
Speaker 17: This weekend, President Trump warning the nation's largest retailer against
Speaker 17: raising prices, warning them posting on true social Walmart should
Speaker 17: stop trying to blame tariffs as the reason. He then
Speaker 17: added the retailer and China should eat the tariffs.
Speaker 3: Uh huh.
Speaker 17: The post comes two days after you.
Speaker 3: Mean, Walmart is saying they're going to do what we
Speaker 3: all said that they were going to do, and then
Speaker 3: the President says you shouldn't do that, and we're what surprised.
Speaker 17: Walmart CEO Doug McMillan warned on a quarterly earnings call
Speaker 17: that prices may rise amid the president's trade war with
Speaker 17: China and other nations.
Speaker 3: So the uh truth, what do you say? He didn't
Speaker 3: tweet this out? He truth?
Speaker 2: This truth, truth, truth truth?
Speaker 3: Did it out? What a terrible name for social media.
Speaker 3: Here's what he said. Walmart should stop trying to blame
Speaker 3: tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain.
Speaker 3: Walmart made billions of dollars that's in capital letters last year,
Speaker 3: far more than expected. Was it isn't that what earnings
Speaker 3: are earnings expectations between Walmart and China? They should, as
Speaker 3: is said, eat the tariffs and not charge valued customers anything.
Speaker 3: I'll be watching, and so will your customers. Yes, we
Speaker 3: will be watching, because, uh, we are always looking for
Speaker 3: where we can not spend more money? Does the president?
Speaker 3: I think we're already watching, because we are. We're already
Speaker 3: watching who's got the lowest prices? Where can I get
Speaker 3: my eggs? We're watching the prices that's happening. But here's
Speaker 3: the other thing that I think all of us ignize.
Speaker 3: The prices are going to go up and the tariffs
Speaker 3: are going to be blamed, whether the whether the tariffs
Speaker 3: are the reason or not. This is what we call
Speaker 3: in the business cover. It's sort of like your gas
Speaker 3: prices go up when there's a refinery fire, like we're
Speaker 3: seeing right now refinery fire in Benetia, and all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, prices go up. And then Valro says they're
Speaker 3: going to close that that refinery next year and prices
Speaker 3: are going to go up. And then after prices at
Speaker 3: the pump skyrocket, what do we hear? The oil companies
Speaker 3: make record profits, which means there is more being charged
Speaker 3: than they need to. But we don't have really any
Speaker 3: other option, right, But they say, well, it's supplying demand,
Speaker 3: it's supplying to it's a refinery fire. I mean, what
Speaker 3: were we supposed to do? That's covered. Egg prices skyrocketed
Speaker 3: right bird flew. But the thing is is that the
Speaker 3: government was reimbursing any farms that were affected by the
Speaker 3: bird flu. If you had to kill off your flock,
Speaker 3: the government cut you at check. And yet and we
Speaker 3: didn't see a reduction in supply, not the way that
Speaker 3: they're talking about. And certainly there's no reason for the
Speaker 3: price to go up because the farmers were already compensated.
Speaker 3: Even if there was a disruption of the supply chain,
Speaker 3: that didn't necessitate more profit taking because they had been compensated.
Speaker 3: Which is why you saw wholesale prices drop last month
Speaker 3: or the month before, once the bird flu thing starts
Speaker 3: getting ironed out. And yet it's only just in the
Speaker 3: last week or two that we start seeing egg prices,
Speaker 3: retail prices start to drop. That's because they had cover.
Speaker 3: So if prices start going up, right now, what do
Speaker 3: we say. We say, it's tariffs. So Walmart can raise
Speaker 3: prices and they go man those tariffs whether they need
Speaker 3: to or not. They can blame the tariffs. And the
Speaker 3: President knows this. He walked into it, which is why
Speaker 3: he's issuing these threats. I'll be watching and then, what
Speaker 3: what are you to do? Shut down Walmart? You're gonna
Speaker 3: have the government come in and shut down an American
Speaker 3: business because that feels very Chinese Communist party like. So
Speaker 3: you can't do that. And the cost isn't just gonna
Speaker 3: get passed down to you and I the consumer. It's
Speaker 3: going to be passed down to the US suppliers as well,
Speaker 3: not just the Chinese suppliers. It'll be passed down to
Speaker 3: the US suppliers in the form of aggressive cost setting.
Speaker 3: This is something Walmart does. So Walmart is similar to CMS,
Speaker 3: that's the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, and they
Speaker 3: have all the leverage and they tell the suppliers. In
Speaker 3: the case of the Medicare Medicaid, they tell the providers.
Speaker 3: They do what the providers will pay, right, and we've
Speaker 3: talked about how CMS sets the prices and providers.
Speaker 2: Don't they can't make any money on it.
Speaker 3: Same thing happens with suppliers to Walmart, and the suppliers
Speaker 3: a very little choice other than to say we're not
Speaker 3: going to supply you Walmart, and then they cut their
Speaker 3: market share. So the margin that Walmart's talking about actually
Speaker 3: fall on the suppliers, not on the retailer itself, which
Speaker 3: is why Walmart made billions of dollars, but their suppliers
Speaker 3: don't make nearly as much.

Speaker 3: Seven men still at large after escaping from a jail
Speaker 3: in New Orleans after they crawled.
Speaker 2: They didn't really crawl through the toilet, but it was close.
Speaker 4: These photos released by New Orleans officials.
Speaker 2: You can't see it.
Speaker 3: This is Dave packer from ABC tell us about photos
Speaker 3: which we can't see because radio.
Speaker 4: So inside the cell where they say ten men escaped,
Speaker 4: prompt an intense search, authorities announcing some of the escapees
Speaker 4: have been captured. Photos show a dislodged toilet inside one
Speaker 4: of the cells and the words too easy scribbled above.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was also misspelled. They wrote to easy instead
Speaker 3: of tooh. I mean, come on, people, there's a reasoning
Speaker 3: behind bares. You should have paid attention to sixth grade.
Speaker 4: Pointing to a hole where the inmates are believed to
Speaker 4: have escaped, The sheriff says deputies discovered the men were
Speaker 4: missing during a routine head count.
Speaker 18: And based on video surveillance, they were seeing exiting a
Speaker 18: door on the docks where we normally bring in supplies,
Speaker 18: scaling a wall and running across the interstate.
Speaker 4: Officials say at least two inmates have been captured, including
Speaker 4: Kendall Miles.
Speaker 3: It's like when you drive by the prisoner and says
Speaker 3: do not pick up hitchhikers, and you think how often
Speaker 3: they have an escape where you got a hitchhiker?
Speaker 4: Well in New Orleans, officials say at least two inmates
Speaker 4: have been captured, including Kendall Miles, who was found less
Speaker 4: than three miles away from the jail hiding beneath a car.
Speaker 3: I was slow.
Speaker 4: Miles is charged with attempted second degree murder. The other
Speaker 4: inmates facing charges from murder to aggravated assault.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: Officials believe someone inside the jail system may have helped
Speaker 4: the inmates escape.
Speaker 3: Oh you guys want to take bets on this one.
Speaker 3: You want a guess who was on the inside. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna say it was a guard that somebody was sweet talking.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think it's always the case. My niece
Speaker 3: was She did the guard training thing for a prison
Speaker 3: and she said that they spent an inordinate amount of
Speaker 3: time warning them about relationships with prisoners.
Speaker 2: Are you serious?
Speaker 3: Yes, Like she says, it's a They reinforce it constantly
Speaker 3: about how do not start falling in love with a prisoner.
Speaker 9: I guess it's like having a work husband. They probably
Speaker 9: like lay it on real thick. They're probably desperate, and
Speaker 9: it's like, after working with this person day in and
Speaker 9: day out, you're like, well, what, I believe them?
Speaker 19: Oh, people don't know the real him. Plus like you know,
Speaker 19: just watching, I don't know how real it is. But
Speaker 19: like Orange is the New Black. Yeah, people have relationships
Speaker 19: talking like it's it's not necessarily yeah they're getting close
Speaker 19: or not. They're not trying to create something, but it's
Speaker 19: like you get close with each other.
Speaker 2: I love that your your experiences with Oranges the New Black.
Speaker 3: That's outstanding.
Speaker 9: I thought, for sure, who's gonna say a sixty day
Speaker 9: lock up or something?
Speaker 2: But I thought so too. I thought he was gonna
Speaker 2: be like, yeah, they.
Speaker 3: Scared straight or something, right, and he was like okay.
Speaker 3: So I was watching Oranges the New Black with my
Speaker 3: boyfriends and ha ha, just remember when Piper was talking
Speaker 3: and yeah, it's perfect, it's really good. That's really good.
Speaker 3: So no, I gotta it's always a guard who's falling
Speaker 3: for somebody. And like I said, my niece had to
Speaker 3: do this training and they said, don't fall for And
Speaker 3: the thing is a lot of these guys. Why wouldn't
Speaker 3: you want a befriend one of the guards. What's the
Speaker 3: disadvantage to it? Right, everybody's playing a game in there.
Speaker 3: Everybody's the game is survival, whether you are trying to
Speaker 3: find Maybe they genuinely want to find love and that
Speaker 3: guy guard represents love. Maybe they're manipulating the guard, whatever
Speaker 3: it is, there's no reason for them not to. There's
Speaker 3: when you start weighing risk versus reward. There is no
Speaker 3: risk to befriending the guard. The only risk is on
Speaker 3: the side of the guard.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, a reason.
Speaker 2: Believe that.
Speaker 11: There were some assistance with this.
Speaker 3: That's why we thoroughly investigated.
Speaker 18: We placed three individuals on administrator leave pitt an outcome
Speaker 18: of this investigation.
Speaker 3: Ooh, three of them. All right, maybe it was more
Speaker 3: than just relationship. Maybe they were being strong armed from
Speaker 3: the outside. I mean, look, could be wrong. I'm just
Speaker 3: saying in the past, it's always been some guard with
Speaker 3: some relationship. Okay, we don't know for sure.
Speaker 4: The US Marshals are assisting with the manhunt, and the
Speaker 4: FBI announced a five thousand dollars reward for tips leading
Speaker 4: to the capture of the escapees. Dave Packer, ABC News,
Speaker 4: New York.
Speaker 3: Dave Packer sounds like AI, doesn't he.
Speaker 2: He sounds like a game show host. He's so good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's so good.
