Larry dives into the Justice Department investigating Former Governor Andrew Cuomo on lies at a congressional hearing of his decisions that killed thousands of Covid 19 patients at New York Nursing Homes. The Democrats seem to be ready to follow congresswomen's LaMonica McIver's lead at Ice Centers in the country. President Trump has plans for a major golden dome to protect the USA. Dr. Lederman stopped by to breakdown Former President Biden's Cancer Diagnosis and what he can do for it. Larry asks Dr. Lederman if older people should get daily prostate exams. Are PSA exams the most reliable way to detect prostate cancer? Gen Zer's are lying on Job Applications to get hired. Could this lead to investigations on job applications?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And good morning to you, and welcome to this rainy Wednesday.
Thanks so much for being here today, staying inside, staying
dry in the Big Three. Well well, well, well, well,
the mayor's race in New York just got a whole
lot more interesting. The Justice Department has opened an investigation
(00:21):
into allegations that Andrew Cuomo lied at a congressional hearing
over his actions that led to the death of fifteen thousand,
fifteen thousand COVID deaths in New York nursing homes. New
York congress Woman and expected good editorial candidate, at least
aphonic you'll remember, was on that committee. You can't make
(00:44):
up facts, Congresswoman.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You're the one making a fact. You're the one who
under counted nursing home deaths. You're the one who I
want to ask right now, so you apologize today. But
there are families sitting here. I want you to turn around,
look them in the eye and apologize, which you have
failed to do.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Those families have been looking for justice for years now,
and if you notice, they always show up outside of
his campaign events and former Governor Cuomo just ignores them.
He may not be able to ignore them any longer.
A spokesperson by the way, for Andrew Cuomo claims, say
(01:21):
it with me. This is all political Democrats are supporting
the actions. Boy, they pick every bad issue. They are
so lost, But they're supporting the actions of Jersey lawmakers
at the ICE facility leading to Congresswoman La Monica mcguy
for facing federal charges.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We just walked over here from our Progressive Caucus meeting
where we recognize that Donald Trump doesn't want us conducting
oversight at ICE facilities like these brave members of Congress
we're doing. He wants to intimidate us out of doing that.
And in our meeting we decided we're just about to
go and do a lot more oversight visits at ICE facilities.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So all they're thinking is, wow, she got a lot
of TV time. We're gonna do the same thing at
ICE facilities around the country, just like the senator that
went down to El Salvador and then everybody else followed him.
Do they understand how bad they look? Do they understand
that this is why they lost the election? Oh? Man?
(02:25):
They are fun to watch, but at the same time
they're frightening. Star Wars is back. The idea of the
strategic defense system first imagined by Ronald Reagan and his
famous Star Wars speech forty years ago, may be finally
accomplished by Donald Trump. He calls it the Golden Dome.
(02:46):
This is very.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Important for the success and even survival of our country,
and said, believal world out there.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And George Went, who played Norm on Cheers, has passed away.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Hey, what's happened to Norman? Was a doggy dog Worlds
Emmy and I'm more in milk phone underwear.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
George Went with seventy six years old. You'll remember his
entrance was always a highlight of the show. He would
walk in, he'd say good morning or good afternoon everybody,
and then everybody would say Norm together, and then he
had some one liner and everybody looked forward to that.
Everybody looked forward to him walking in to the bar
(03:30):
in Cheers. George Went again dead at seventy six. We'll
remember him coming up. But let's talk about what was
the breaking news last night and all the news channels,
and that is the fact that the Justice Department has
opened an investigation after being referred by the Washington District
for three counts of lying to Congress. And you'll remember,
(03:54):
I believe you'll remember this hearing when it was so
obvious that he was lying. They had him dead to rights.
And let's walk through what happened again. He signed an
executive order. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order forcing seniors
with COVID back. They wanted to take him to the hospital.
(04:15):
He wanted them back in the nursing homes, and COVID
spread through those nursing homes like wildfire, causing fifteen thousand deaths.
Now he's changed his mind. He took it back. But
then he then came the cover up. And this is
where politicians always get in trouble with the cover up. First,
(04:35):
he undercounted the deaths and he got caught doing that,
and then he encouraged the health commissioner at the time
to write a report on it where he was cleared.
He was completely cleared of any wrongdoing. And so the
question became over and over and over again, did you
(04:57):
have anything to do with that report? And this is
where he lies. Over and over again. He claimed he
had nothing to do with the report. And then a
draft of the report surfaced and you saw his handwriting
throughout the report. He basically wrote the report clearing him
(05:18):
of any wrongdoing. That was the cover up. And what
he got in trouble for, and what he's going to
get in trouble for and what he's probably gonna get
charged with is lying. I mean, he clearly lied over
and over again.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Oh we know is Governor Cuomo ordered contagious patients into
nursing homes. He lied about it, then he covered it up,
and now he's threatening anyone who tries to cross him
to get accountability.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Right, And that was the next step. That's the part
I met I left out. He was going after any
Democratic politician or Republican politician in the state of New
York that challenged him on this. He wanted to quell it.
He was the strong arm that you always heard. He
was the strong man. He was going and he was
(06:09):
going hard at every politician in the state to hide this.
But as Nicole Maliataka says, and that was James Comber
that was talking a second ago. As Nicole Maliataka says,
he clearly lied. There's no question he lied.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He definitely lied about editing the report, right.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
He said that he did not edit the report.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
He did edit the report.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And he's caught red handed. Now, this is pretty serious.
I mean, these charges are serious. But it is going
to change We'll see, we'll see how it's going to
change the mayoral race. It's definitely going to change it.
We'll see how it changes it for the better. Because
in this weird political world, he is already with a statement.
He'll talk later today, I'm sure, but he has already
(06:51):
released a statement or a spokesperson has saying this is
purely political. This is law fair, which is what everybody
claims nowadays. And he said, I thought the Trump administration
was against law fair. So and the Trump administration really
had nothing to do with this. This was Congress and
they were outraged that he was lying to their face.
So a lot's gonna happen today. We'll talk more about
(07:14):
this tomorrow, as Andrew Cuomo's probably going to be out
and every one of the other candidates and people in
Washington are going to be out talking about this. So
this broke last night, and man, man, is this a bombshell.
By the way that hearing, you might think to yourself, Oh,
why are they going after COVID? That was so long ago.
(07:34):
The hearing was in twenty twenty four. Here, the hearing
was just last year. So we'll see, we'll see what's
going to happen. But this definitely changed the landscape of
the mayoral race. Now we can talk about other Democrats
doing badly. Lamonica mcgiver is his front and center in
(07:57):
the news because she is being charged with three felony
counts of attacking federal officers. And there's no question that
she was rough. You can't lay your hand on a
federal officer if they're trying to arrest someone, you can't
touch them. But she gave them a forearm slam. She
(08:18):
was grabbing at them, she was impeding them making arrest.
There's no question she did what she's being accused of doing.
But of course she's out there saying, oh, this whole
thing is political.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
It's political intimidation, and I will not be intimidated. I
expect to continue to do my job. Once again, very
unfortunate situation. I did not think when I came to
Congress in September that I would be, you know, dealing
with something like this, you know, or dealing with being
charged with anything.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, then don't hit a federal officer, don't try to trespass.
You could have called ahead, They told you that you
could have called ahead and you could have seen the
facility for yourself. What gets me the most is the
Democrats rallying around her and they're gonna do the same thing.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
My congress Congressional colleagues from New Jersey did their job.
They actually are obeying the constitution. They are standing up
to give checks and balances to this administration at a
time that the Republicans in control of the House and
the Senate are laying down.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
That's the other thing they're saying, by the way, is
that they're just doing their checks and balances. They're just
doing oversight. They don't have they have no idea. They
have no idea why the federal officers went after her,
or why Alena Habba, the US attorney in New Jersey,
went after her. How about the fact that she hit
an ice officer. Any other human being that hit an
(09:43):
ice officer would go to jail. She is not above
the law. But in this weird world again, she is
thriving with the publicity, and all these other Democrats are like,
Oh my god, me too. I'm gonna go to a
nice facility. I'm gonna hit a nice officer. Maybe they'll
put me on CNN It is a bizarre political world,
(10:07):
and it's about to get a lot more bizarre. By
the way, go to iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback.
If you will, you could win a limited edition MENTI
in the Morning t shirt. It will be awarded each
day at the end of the show. Also sad news,
George Went who played Norm from Cheers, has died. We'll
remember him next plus tickets to see the Brotherhood of
(10:29):
Rock tour at age twenty five. This week, former President
Joe Biden let the world know that he has stage
four prostate cancer that has spread into his bones, and
that led to so many questions. And who better to
answer those questions than somebody here right here on WOR
seven to ten WOR. He is a radio star. He's
(10:52):
treated ten thousands of patients and nearly every location of cancer,
every size, every type of cancer, arge and small, primary,
or advanced. So we're very proud to be able to
talk to doctor Gil Liederman Radio Surgery in New York. Sarah,
thanks for spending some time with us.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Larry, thank you. It's an honor to be on your show, well.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
An honor to have you. We have so many questions.
Can we start just about prostate cancer, the type of
cancer Biden has and how does somebody realize they have it?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Okay, so he has a Gleason nine cancer. So prostate
cancer like a lot of cancers we talk about or
we see friends all they have breast cancer, lung cancer,
and they don't talk much more about it than that.
But prostate cancer is peculiar and different in that some
people have a very slow growing cancer, some people have
a very fast growing cancer. And doctor Gleason recognized that
(11:48):
years ago and he made a scale. He made a
scale from two to ten, and it's based on two
different areas of the prostate that could buyop seed and
they add it up and that's why they're two to ten.
It's kind of funny scale. So one and one is
two is the best, in five plus five equals ten
the worst, and he's just about it the worst. So
Gleason nine is just about the worst cancer as far
(12:09):
as aggression that one can personally have. So that's issue
number one. Issue number two is then he has stage
four cancers. So in prostate cancer, in almost every cancer
is a staging system usually from one to four. One
is usually localized and four is metastatic. Means it's got
into the blood stream most commonly, and it's traveled. So
for his prostate cancer to go from the prostate to
(12:31):
the bone means it got in the blood stream and
it's traveling, which also means it's not curable.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It sounds like he's had this for some time. Would
is that correct?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
I believe so. His data has come out yesterday that
his last PSA was done in twenty and fourteen, so
it's been more than a decade since PSA, which in
my view as a no no. Some doctors say, oh,
when you're seventy years old, you know you're over the hill.
You're going to die. I don't do any screening. So
many people don't get colonoscopies or mammograms or PSAs. I
(13:06):
personally view it's age discrimination. It's funny because you have
glaws against age discrimination. Yet here's a man whose doctors
may be abided by guidelines say always seventies over the hill.
Here's the president United States. We spend billions of dollars
protecting him, and no one could do a five dollars
test to detect this cancer early.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Or he did get the test, it would be hard
to believe wouldn't it that the staff of twenty White
House doctors never tested him for this. My feeling is
he's known, he's had this for some time.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
That does Maybe that's one Yeah, that's one strategy or
one set of feelings. I see lots of people, high
flyers and low flyers, whose doctors just never get PSAs
and never think about it. They just general doctors. Often.
My brother's a general doctor. I have no problem about
general doctors, but a lot of people are not just
tuned into it. And that's why I'm stressing so much
(13:59):
the need to be screened. And there's just a recent
study of thousands, actually tens of thousands of Europeans of
men who are asked to get screening for prostate cancer
and oh, this is over decades, and the men who
showed up for screening had a twenty percent higher chance
of being alive. The men who never showed up for
one screening had forty five percent greater death. So it's
(14:23):
very clear that screening helps. It's not only for prostate cancer,
but for breast cancer and colon cancer and lung cancer.
Screening saves lives.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, I think the White House doctors should be fired
if they didn't test him for this, but you're right, maybe.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Be a lot of unemployment. There'd be a lot of
unemployment if they fire all the guys. If you think
about he was at Walter Reed, he was vice president,
he was on his own. He was a free citizen
from twenty seventeen to twenty one, so he was on
his own. He was seeing his own doctors. So he
talk his own doctors, his White House doctors, president doctors,
Vice president doctors, and he was sent you know, these
(15:00):
may have well been high for years. Then what they're
not telling you is how high his PSA is. So
you know, it may well be that this PSA is
five thousand, it may be ten thousand, it could be
very high. Usually when you have a glease of nine
cancer and it's in the bones, that PSA number. PSA
is prostatics specific antigen. It's a blood test. It's a painless,
(15:21):
easy test to get. Every man should be getting it.
Every loved one should have their man get that, whether
it's a wife or girlfriend or child, and it helps
saves lives. Forty thousand men die a year of prostate
cancer in America. It's one of the biggest killers.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
If the president was your patient, what course of action
would you recommend at.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
This point today or ten years ago today. Well, I
don't know everything about his case. I just know that
he's got cancer in the bones. He's got cancer obviously
in the prostate. He may have it in the lymphodes.
They didn't talk about the lymphodes. Prostate cancer loves to
go to the lymphodes and then it usually goes to
the bones afterwards. Usually, and sometimes it's even more aggressive
(16:03):
than that. Sometimes we see it in the liver or lungs.
So he should be staged up. The best staging test
now would be called a p SMA test. It's a
pet scan specifically for prostate cancer. It's an expensive test.
Most insurance companies will cover it, so I believe every
man with prostate cancer should get a p SMA test.
(16:23):
He probably had an MRI test of the prostate. He
probably did have a bone scan, so those tests should
be done as far as treatment. He's had a peculiar
walk and having cancer and the bones mate cause him
to be walking like he's walking. If you look at
his posture and is walking, it's a little bit strange.
It's not a fluid walk. So he may well have
(16:44):
had symptoms from this cancer and his bones for some time.
I would obviously recommend systemic therapy for him. Most men
hate hormonal therapy. Hormonal therapy like lupron or eliguard take
away testosterone, so men hate it. Most men hate it
because not every men, but most men hate it because
it takes away sexual feelings and directions. It takes away
(17:04):
some of your power. It basically makes a man feel
like he's going through a woman's menopause, hot flashes, weight gain,
and other things. So why it's so much better to
be diagnosed early. If you take two politicians for example,
you take Rudy Giuliani, he was treated with radiation and
breaking therapy twenty five years ago, and you see him
now and he seems to be doing great, and you
(17:26):
have this man. There's similar ages and this man most
likely will die. The five year survival rate of stage
four cancer prostate's only thirty five forty percent, so it's
very serious condition. He's got obviously other medical issues that
are competing with this.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, it is so sad, and you know, no matter
how you feel politically, your heart goes out to him
and his family for this news two things can be
true at the same time. You can feel for him
and disagree with his policies. But I guess the good
part about this for the rest of the country is
you talking about this now. Is people talking about this
(18:05):
now and the PSA test and prostate cancer coming to
the forefront so people will do the right thing.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
I think it brings a lot of attention. I think
you're totally right. I've had a total number of calls
are off the wall because people are waking up. They say,
as if the president can have stage four prostate cancer,
they can too. And there's a problem with a lot
of men. A lot of men think they're invincible and
cancer can't affect them. And God, God has other plans
(18:34):
for some of us. And men should get and women
should get checked up. And there's so many simple things mammograms, PSA, colonoscopy, CHESS,
cts for people or smokers. There's so many things that
increase survival rate by about forty fifty fifty more people
will be cured to their cancer if they're detected early.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Hey doctor laterman, we're just amount out of time. But
real quick, how you said you got a lot of
phone calls. How can people get a hold.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Of you two and two choices, Our phone numbers two
and two choices, which you hear all the time on
WR They can call, they can email me emails Gil
at rs n Y dot org. If phone calls your
best two and two choices, they can come in. We
accept most insurances. For a man who should get a PSA,
it might well save his life. If you're the wife,
(19:21):
or the girlfriend or the child, get your loved one
in here. It's a simple thing, it's a short thing,
it's a painless thing, and it may well save his life.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Great advice, Doctor Liederman. Thank you so much for your time,
Doctor Liederman, Radio Surgery in New York. Two one two choices,
Thanks again, doctor.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I bless you, Larry, and thank you for inviting me on.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Hey have you everlied on that job application? Or how
about stretch the truth? Maybe just a little bit, because
apparently it's very popular among people in gen Z. Let's
talk about that with Greg Gangrande, career advice expert. You
can check them out and go to Greg dot com.
You get even ask him a question there. Hey, Greg,
(20:02):
how are you? Good morning?
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Good morning Larry. Thank you for having me. You know
when I when I read this article about gen Z
nearly fifty percent admitting to lying on their resume, I
found it very disheartening when we all know that the
truth is closer to one hundred percent. Oh my gosh,
(20:27):
you can't even be honest about lying.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
It is amazing you said that, because when I saw
the story and I read the statistics, I said, well, listen,
I loved a bash gen Z just like the next boomer.
But I have to say this is probably not just generational.
It probably spans every generation. I think that everybody can
be accused of this, or everybody is guilty of this
(20:53):
at one point in their life.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
Well so it has been a subject of much discussion
for the entire length of my career, the you know,
credibility of the information it's on or resume. It is important,
though to distinguish between two very different things. There's there's lying,
and then there's embellishing and and so like the it
(21:22):
is difficult today to get away with lying about objectively
verifiable facts like did you actually work where you say
you worked during those dates? Did you actually attend that
school or get that degree that? Those are objectively verifiable
facts that today with almost every company doing a background check.
(21:46):
It's it's difficult, if not impossible, to get away with
lying about those types of things. Now, what you actually
did in a job that you that you did have
like instead of leading that project, but maybe you contributed
to the project. You know, maybe you're inflating how much
(22:07):
productivity gains that you achieved by implementing this strategic initiative.
Those are you know, subjective and harder to verify. And
that's where when people say they lie on their resume,
they're really talking about embellishing those kinds of details.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So if you catch an embellishment, is that okay, Well.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
It's hard to catch. No, it's not okay, But it's
hard to catch an embellishment because it's it's subjective unless
when you're conducting a reference check and somebody said, yes,
I created that initiative, I let it, and I executed it,
and then on the background check, somebody says that was
(22:52):
created by me or somebody else and they were like
merely a bit player. Okay, fine, then that's that's an outright.
But how much somebody contributed to an initiative and and
how much productivity or revenue increase can be attributed to
that that that's a little bit subjective, and I think
(23:12):
we all we all grate on a curve there and
give a little bit of we give a little bit
of grace in uh in those areas.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
When does the ba I'm sorry, no, I was going
to ask you when that background check starts. Does it
start when they're a finalist for a job? Does it
start when they're going to be offered the job? And
before they get offered? I can't imagine that from a
lot of resumes they do background checks, not.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
On in that the volume is too great. It's usually
when you're a finalist or right before and offer. Most companies,
unless like we're talking about really small businesses, and even
they should be conducting background checks on people they don't
know know who you know, they're just meeting for the
(24:03):
first time or getting a resume. It's prudent to conduct
background checks, but interesting like if you've been employed for
a long time, like before background checks were as thorough
as they are today and as prevalent as they are today.
If you've been in your job with your employer for
more than ten years and that was the last time
you went through a background check, there are a lot
(24:25):
of people currently working who would not be able to
pass a background check with the documentation that is on
file with their current employer. That's how prevalent, you know,
embellishing on resumes is and frankly lying. And there are
people who been discovered, you know, many years later, even
(24:48):
like twenty years later, that they lied on their resume
about having a degree or you know, attending a college
or where they worked, that were fired two decades later
after the fact was discovered.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Oh so that's a big deal. Listen, since we're in
the topic of resumes, we should talk about how what
a good resume looks like we can get you a job.
My son called me, well, actually he sent me an
email with a resume and asking me to look at it.
And it was a lot of copy and it was
two pages. It was really good. It was laid out nicely,
(25:24):
and at first I said, yeah, this is okay, And
then I called him right afterwards and I said, you
know what, you got to cut that down to one page.
It's just you're asking people to read a lot.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
That was good advice. Even someone with your credentials and
career success at this point in your career probably wouldn't
have more than a one page resume. So your son
having a two page resume, no one is reading. No
one's reading all of that. They're spending seconds on a resume,
(25:56):
and we're asking the wrong question about what does a
good resume look like to.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Get a job?
Speaker 8 (26:02):
We rely too many people rely too much on the
resume to do the heavy lifting and a job search.
And so we sit back and we feel satisfied that
we've conducted a thorough job search by putting all of
our effort into creating the perfect resume and then sending
it out to hundreds of joblessings, only to be disappointed
(26:24):
when you never hear back from any of them, or
maybe one or two. And that's because we rely too
much on the resume. The resume. Think of it as
a as a leave behind, almost like networking always has
been and always will be, where most of your effort
should come in. And then the resume is a way
(26:45):
for someone to introduce you to someone else. But to
just blindly send out your resume to job listenings is
the least effective way to find the job. That's why
you shouldn't rely too heavily on the resume. A basic
resume one page that gives the basic information where did
you go to school, where did you work, what title?
A couple of ballpoints and what you did that I
(27:05):
can get in ten seconds or less is a signe resume.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That's great advice, Greg Giangrande. You can get more of
that at go to Greg dot com. He is a
career advice expert and you can check him out. As
I said on go to Greg dot com. Thanks a lot, Greg,
Thank you, Larry.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Have a good week.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I talk to you again next week.
And good morning to you, and welcome to this rainy Wednesday.
Thanks so much for being here today, staying inside, staying
dry in the Big Three. Well well, well, well, well,
the mayor's race in New York just got a whole
lot more interesting. The Justice Department has opened an investigation
(00:21):
into allegations that Andrew Cuomo lied at a congressional hearing
over his actions that led to the death of fifteen thousand,
fifteen thousand COVID deaths in New York nursing homes. New
York congress Woman and expected good editorial candidate, at least
aphonic you'll remember, was on that committee. You can't make
(00:44):
up facts, Congresswoman.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You're the one making a fact. You're the one who
under counted nursing home deaths. You're the one who I
want to ask right now, so you apologize today. But
there are families sitting here. I want you to turn around,
look them in the eye and apologize, which you have
failed to do.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Those families have been looking for justice for years now,
and if you notice, they always show up outside of
his campaign events and former Governor Cuomo just ignores them.
He may not be able to ignore them any longer.
A spokesperson by the way, for Andrew Cuomo claims, say
(01:21):
it with me. This is all political Democrats are supporting
the actions. Boy, they pick every bad issue. They are
so lost, But they're supporting the actions of Jersey lawmakers
at the ICE facility leading to Congresswoman La Monica mcguy
for facing federal charges.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We just walked over here from our Progressive Caucus meeting
where we recognize that Donald Trump doesn't want us conducting
oversight at ICE facilities like these brave members of Congress
we're doing. He wants to intimidate us out of doing that.
And in our meeting we decided we're just about to
go and do a lot more oversight visits at ICE facilities.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So all they're thinking is, wow, she got a lot
of TV time. We're gonna do the same thing at
ICE facilities around the country, just like the senator that
went down to El Salvador and then everybody else followed him.
Do they understand how bad they look? Do they understand
that this is why they lost the election? Oh? Man?
(02:25):
They are fun to watch, but at the same time
they're frightening. Star Wars is back. The idea of the
strategic defense system first imagined by Ronald Reagan and his
famous Star Wars speech forty years ago, may be finally
accomplished by Donald Trump. He calls it the Golden Dome.
(02:46):
This is very.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Important for the success and even survival of our country,
and said, believal world out there.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And George Went, who played Norm on Cheers, has passed away.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Hey, what's happened to Norman? Was a doggy dog Worlds
Emmy and I'm more in milk phone underwear.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
George Went with seventy six years old. You'll remember his
entrance was always a highlight of the show. He would
walk in, he'd say good morning or good afternoon everybody,
and then everybody would say Norm together, and then he
had some one liner and everybody looked forward to that.
Everybody looked forward to him walking in to the bar
(03:30):
in Cheers. George Went again dead at seventy six. We'll
remember him coming up. But let's talk about what was
the breaking news last night and all the news channels,
and that is the fact that the Justice Department has
opened an investigation after being referred by the Washington District
for three counts of lying to Congress. And you'll remember,
(03:54):
I believe you'll remember this hearing when it was so
obvious that he was lying. They had him dead to rights.
And let's walk through what happened again. He signed an
executive order. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order forcing seniors
with COVID back. They wanted to take him to the hospital.
(04:15):
He wanted them back in the nursing homes, and COVID
spread through those nursing homes like wildfire, causing fifteen thousand deaths.
Now he's changed his mind. He took it back. But
then he then came the cover up. And this is
where politicians always get in trouble with the cover up. First,
(04:35):
he undercounted the deaths and he got caught doing that,
and then he encouraged the health commissioner at the time
to write a report on it where he was cleared.
He was completely cleared of any wrongdoing. And so the
question became over and over and over again, did you
(04:57):
have anything to do with that report? And this is
where he lies. Over and over again. He claimed he
had nothing to do with the report. And then a
draft of the report surfaced and you saw his handwriting
throughout the report. He basically wrote the report clearing him
(05:18):
of any wrongdoing. That was the cover up. And what
he got in trouble for, and what he's going to
get in trouble for and what he's probably gonna get
charged with is lying. I mean, he clearly lied over
and over again.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Oh we know is Governor Cuomo ordered contagious patients into
nursing homes. He lied about it, then he covered it up,
and now he's threatening anyone who tries to cross him
to get accountability.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Right, And that was the next step. That's the part
I met I left out. He was going after any
Democratic politician or Republican politician in the state of New
York that challenged him on this. He wanted to quell it.
He was the strong arm that you always heard. He
was the strong man. He was going and he was
(06:09):
going hard at every politician in the state to hide this.
But as Nicole Maliataka says, and that was James Comber
that was talking a second ago. As Nicole Maliataka says,
he clearly lied. There's no question he lied.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He definitely lied about editing the report, right.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
He said that he did not edit the report.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
He did edit the report.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
And he's caught red handed. Now, this is pretty serious.
I mean, these charges are serious. But it is going
to change We'll see, we'll see how it's going to
change the mayoral race. It's definitely going to change it.
We'll see how it changes it for the better. Because
in this weird political world, he is already with a statement.
He'll talk later today, I'm sure, but he has already
(06:51):
released a statement or a spokesperson has saying this is
purely political. This is law fair, which is what everybody
claims nowadays. And he said, I thought the Trump administration
was against law fair. So and the Trump administration really
had nothing to do with this. This was Congress and
they were outraged that he was lying to their face.
So a lot's gonna happen today. We'll talk more about
(07:14):
this tomorrow, as Andrew Cuomo's probably going to be out
and every one of the other candidates and people in
Washington are going to be out talking about this. So
this broke last night, and man, man, is this a bombshell.
By the way that hearing, you might think to yourself, Oh,
why are they going after COVID? That was so long ago.
(07:34):
The hearing was in twenty twenty four. Here, the hearing
was just last year. So we'll see, we'll see what's
going to happen. But this definitely changed the landscape of
the mayoral race. Now we can talk about other Democrats
doing badly. Lamonica mcgiver is his front and center in
(07:57):
the news because she is being charged with three felony
counts of attacking federal officers. And there's no question that
she was rough. You can't lay your hand on a
federal officer if they're trying to arrest someone, you can't
touch them. But she gave them a forearm slam. She
(08:18):
was grabbing at them, she was impeding them making arrest.
There's no question she did what she's being accused of doing.
But of course she's out there saying, oh, this whole
thing is political.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
It's political intimidation, and I will not be intimidated. I
expect to continue to do my job. Once again, very
unfortunate situation. I did not think when I came to
Congress in September that I would be, you know, dealing
with something like this, you know, or dealing with being
charged with anything.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Well, then don't hit a federal officer, don't try to trespass.
You could have called ahead, They told you that you
could have called ahead and you could have seen the
facility for yourself. What gets me the most is the
Democrats rallying around her and they're gonna do the same thing.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
My congress Congressional colleagues from New Jersey did their job.
They actually are obeying the constitution. They are standing up
to give checks and balances to this administration at a
time that the Republicans in control of the House and
the Senate are laying down.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
That's the other thing they're saying, by the way, is
that they're just doing their checks and balances. They're just
doing oversight. They don't have they have no idea. They
have no idea why the federal officers went after her,
or why Alena Habba, the US attorney in New Jersey,
went after her. How about the fact that she hit
an ice officer. Any other human being that hit an
(09:43):
ice officer would go to jail. She is not above
the law. But in this weird world again, she is
thriving with the publicity, and all these other Democrats are like,
Oh my god, me too. I'm gonna go to a
nice facility. I'm gonna hit a nice officer. Maybe they'll
put me on CNN It is a bizarre political world,
(10:07):
and it's about to get a lot more bizarre. By
the way, go to iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback.
If you will, you could win a limited edition MENTI
in the Morning t shirt. It will be awarded each
day at the end of the show. Also sad news,
George Went who played Norm from Cheers, has died. We'll
remember him next plus tickets to see the Brotherhood of
(10:29):
Rock tour at age twenty five. This week, former President
Joe Biden let the world know that he has stage
four prostate cancer that has spread into his bones, and
that led to so many questions. And who better to
answer those questions than somebody here right here on WOR
seven to ten WOR. He is a radio star. He's
(10:52):
treated ten thousands of patients and nearly every location of cancer,
every size, every type of cancer, arge and small, primary,
or advanced. So we're very proud to be able to
talk to doctor Gil Liederman Radio Surgery in New York. Sarah,
thanks for spending some time with us.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Larry, thank you. It's an honor to be on your show, well.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
An honor to have you. We have so many questions.
Can we start just about prostate cancer, the type of
cancer Biden has and how does somebody realize they have it?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Okay, so he has a Gleason nine cancer. So prostate
cancer like a lot of cancers we talk about or
we see friends all they have breast cancer, lung cancer,
and they don't talk much more about it than that.
But prostate cancer is peculiar and different in that some
people have a very slow growing cancer, some people have
a very fast growing cancer. And doctor Gleason recognized that
(11:48):
years ago and he made a scale. He made a
scale from two to ten, and it's based on two
different areas of the prostate that could buyop seed and
they add it up and that's why they're two to ten.
It's kind of funny scale. So one and one is
two is the best, in five plus five equals ten
the worst, and he's just about it the worst. So
Gleason nine is just about the worst cancer as far
(12:09):
as aggression that one can personally have. So that's issue
number one. Issue number two is then he has stage
four cancers. So in prostate cancer, in almost every cancer
is a staging system usually from one to four. One
is usually localized and four is metastatic. Means it's got
into the blood stream most commonly, and it's traveled. So
for his prostate cancer to go from the prostate to
(12:31):
the bone means it got in the blood stream and
it's traveling, which also means it's not curable.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It sounds like he's had this for some time. Would
is that correct?
Speaker 5 (12:42):
I believe so. His data has come out yesterday that
his last PSA was done in twenty and fourteen, so
it's been more than a decade since PSA, which in
my view as a no no. Some doctors say, oh,
when you're seventy years old, you know you're over the hill.
You're going to die. I don't do any screening. So
many people don't get colonoscopies or mammograms or PSAs. I
(13:06):
personally view it's age discrimination. It's funny because you have
glaws against age discrimination. Yet here's a man whose doctors
may be abided by guidelines say always seventies over the hill.
Here's the president United States. We spend billions of dollars
protecting him, and no one could do a five dollars
test to detect this cancer early.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Or he did get the test, it would be hard
to believe wouldn't it that the staff of twenty White
House doctors never tested him for this. My feeling is
he's known, he's had this for some time.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
That does Maybe that's one Yeah, that's one strategy or
one set of feelings. I see lots of people, high
flyers and low flyers, whose doctors just never get PSAs
and never think about it. They just general doctors. Often.
My brother's a general doctor. I have no problem about
general doctors, but a lot of people are not just
tuned into it. And that's why I'm stressing so much
(13:59):
the need to be screened. And there's just a recent
study of thousands, actually tens of thousands of Europeans of
men who are asked to get screening for prostate cancer
and oh, this is over decades, and the men who
showed up for screening had a twenty percent higher chance
of being alive. The men who never showed up for
one screening had forty five percent greater death. So it's
(14:23):
very clear that screening helps. It's not only for prostate cancer,
but for breast cancer and colon cancer and lung cancer.
Screening saves lives.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, I think the White House doctors should be fired
if they didn't test him for this, but you're right, maybe.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Be a lot of unemployment. There'd be a lot of
unemployment if they fire all the guys. If you think
about he was at Walter Reed, he was vice president,
he was on his own. He was a free citizen
from twenty seventeen to twenty one, so he was on
his own. He was seeing his own doctors. So he
talk his own doctors, his White House doctors, president doctors,
Vice president doctors, and he was sent you know, these
(15:00):
may have well been high for years. Then what they're
not telling you is how high his PSA is. So
you know, it may well be that this PSA is
five thousand, it may be ten thousand, it could be
very high. Usually when you have a glease of nine
cancer and it's in the bones, that PSA number. PSA
is prostatics specific antigen. It's a blood test. It's a painless,
(15:21):
easy test to get. Every man should be getting it.
Every loved one should have their man get that, whether
it's a wife or girlfriend or child, and it helps
saves lives. Forty thousand men die a year of prostate
cancer in America. It's one of the biggest killers.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
If the president was your patient, what course of action
would you recommend at.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
This point today or ten years ago today. Well, I
don't know everything about his case. I just know that
he's got cancer in the bones. He's got cancer obviously
in the prostate. He may have it in the lymphodes.
They didn't talk about the lymphodes. Prostate cancer loves to
go to the lymphodes and then it usually goes to
the bones afterwards. Usually, and sometimes it's even more aggressive
(16:03):
than that. Sometimes we see it in the liver or lungs.
So he should be staged up. The best staging test
now would be called a p SMA test. It's a
pet scan specifically for prostate cancer. It's an expensive test.
Most insurance companies will cover it, so I believe every
man with prostate cancer should get a p SMA test.
(16:23):
He probably had an MRI test of the prostate. He
probably did have a bone scan, so those tests should
be done as far as treatment. He's had a peculiar
walk and having cancer and the bones mate cause him
to be walking like he's walking. If you look at
his posture and is walking, it's a little bit strange.
It's not a fluid walk. So he may well have
(16:44):
had symptoms from this cancer and his bones for some time.
I would obviously recommend systemic therapy for him. Most men
hate hormonal therapy. Hormonal therapy like lupron or eliguard take
away testosterone, so men hate it. Most men hate it
because not every men, but most men hate it because
it takes away sexual feelings and directions. It takes away
(17:04):
some of your power. It basically makes a man feel
like he's going through a woman's menopause, hot flashes, weight gain,
and other things. So why it's so much better to
be diagnosed early. If you take two politicians for example,
you take Rudy Giuliani, he was treated with radiation and
breaking therapy twenty five years ago, and you see him
now and he seems to be doing great, and you
(17:26):
have this man. There's similar ages and this man most
likely will die. The five year survival rate of stage
four cancer prostate's only thirty five forty percent, so it's
very serious condition. He's got obviously other medical issues that
are competing with this.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, it is so sad, and you know, no matter
how you feel politically, your heart goes out to him
and his family for this news two things can be
true at the same time. You can feel for him
and disagree with his policies. But I guess the good
part about this for the rest of the country is
you talking about this now. Is people talking about this
(18:05):
now and the PSA test and prostate cancer coming to
the forefront so people will do the right thing.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
I think it brings a lot of attention. I think
you're totally right. I've had a total number of calls
are off the wall because people are waking up. They say,
as if the president can have stage four prostate cancer,
they can too. And there's a problem with a lot
of men. A lot of men think they're invincible and
cancer can't affect them. And God, God has other plans
(18:34):
for some of us. And men should get and women
should get checked up. And there's so many simple things mammograms, PSA, colonoscopy, CHESS,
cts for people or smokers. There's so many things that
increase survival rate by about forty fifty fifty more people
will be cured to their cancer if they're detected early.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Hey doctor laterman, we're just amount out of time. But
real quick, how you said you got a lot of
phone calls. How can people get a hold.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Of you two and two choices, Our phone numbers two
and two choices, which you hear all the time on
WR They can call, they can email me emails Gil
at rs n Y dot org. If phone calls your
best two and two choices, they can come in. We
accept most insurances. For a man who should get a PSA,
it might well save his life. If you're the wife,
(19:21):
or the girlfriend or the child, get your loved one
in here. It's a simple thing, it's a short thing,
it's a painless thing, and it may well save his life.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Great advice, Doctor Liederman. Thank you so much for your time,
Doctor Liederman, Radio Surgery in New York. Two one two choices,
Thanks again, doctor.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I bless you, Larry, and thank you for inviting me on.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Hey have you everlied on that job application? Or how
about stretch the truth? Maybe just a little bit, because
apparently it's very popular among people in gen Z. Let's
talk about that with Greg Gangrande, career advice expert. You
can check them out and go to Greg dot com.
You get even ask him a question there. Hey, Greg,
(20:02):
how are you? Good morning?
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Good morning Larry. Thank you for having me. You know
when I when I read this article about gen Z
nearly fifty percent admitting to lying on their resume, I
found it very disheartening when we all know that the
truth is closer to one hundred percent. Oh my gosh,
(20:27):
you can't even be honest about lying.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
It is amazing you said that, because when I saw
the story and I read the statistics, I said, well, listen,
I loved a bash gen Z just like the next boomer.
But I have to say this is probably not just generational.
It probably spans every generation. I think that everybody can
be accused of this, or everybody is guilty of this
(20:53):
at one point in their life.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
Well so it has been a subject of much discussion
for the entire length of my career, the you know,
credibility of the information it's on or resume. It is important,
though to distinguish between two very different things. There's there's lying,
and then there's embellishing and and so like the it
(21:22):
is difficult today to get away with lying about objectively
verifiable facts like did you actually work where you say
you worked during those dates? Did you actually attend that
school or get that degree that? Those are objectively verifiable
facts that today with almost every company doing a background check.
(21:46):
It's it's difficult, if not impossible, to get away with
lying about those types of things. Now, what you actually
did in a job that you that you did have
like instead of leading that project, but maybe you contributed
to the project. You know, maybe you're inflating how much
(22:07):
productivity gains that you achieved by implementing this strategic initiative.
Those are you know, subjective and harder to verify. And
that's where when people say they lie on their resume,
they're really talking about embellishing those kinds of details.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So if you catch an embellishment, is that okay, Well.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
It's hard to catch. No, it's not okay, But it's
hard to catch an embellishment because it's it's subjective unless
when you're conducting a reference check and somebody said, yes,
I created that initiative, I let it, and I executed it,
and then on the background check, somebody says that was
(22:52):
created by me or somebody else and they were like
merely a bit player. Okay, fine, then that's that's an outright.
But how much somebody contributed to an initiative and and
how much productivity or revenue increase can be attributed to
that that that's a little bit subjective, and I think
(23:12):
we all we all grate on a curve there and
give a little bit of we give a little bit
of grace in uh in those areas.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
When does the ba I'm sorry, no, I was going
to ask you when that background check starts. Does it
start when they're a finalist for a job? Does it
start when they're going to be offered the job? And
before they get offered? I can't imagine that from a
lot of resumes they do background checks, not.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
On in that the volume is too great. It's usually
when you're a finalist or right before and offer. Most companies,
unless like we're talking about really small businesses, and even
they should be conducting background checks on people they don't
know know who you know, they're just meeting for the
(24:03):
first time or getting a resume. It's prudent to conduct
background checks, but interesting like if you've been employed for
a long time, like before background checks were as thorough
as they are today and as prevalent as they are today.
If you've been in your job with your employer for
more than ten years and that was the last time
you went through a background check, there are a lot
(24:25):
of people currently working who would not be able to
pass a background check with the documentation that is on
file with their current employer. That's how prevalent, you know,
embellishing on resumes is and frankly lying. And there are
people who been discovered, you know, many years later, even
(24:48):
like twenty years later, that they lied on their resume
about having a degree or you know, attending a college
or where they worked, that were fired two decades later
after the fact was discovered.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Oh so that's a big deal. Listen, since we're in
the topic of resumes, we should talk about how what
a good resume looks like we can get you a job.
My son called me, well, actually he sent me an
email with a resume and asking me to look at it.
And it was a lot of copy and it was
two pages. It was really good. It was laid out nicely,
(25:24):
and at first I said, yeah, this is okay, And
then I called him right afterwards and I said, you
know what, you got to cut that down to one page.
It's just you're asking people to read a lot.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
That was good advice. Even someone with your credentials and
career success at this point in your career probably wouldn't
have more than a one page resume. So your son
having a two page resume, no one is reading. No
one's reading all of that. They're spending seconds on a resume,
(25:56):
and we're asking the wrong question about what does a
good resume look like to.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Get a job?
Speaker 8 (26:02):
We rely too many people rely too much on the
resume to do the heavy lifting and a job search.
And so we sit back and we feel satisfied that
we've conducted a thorough job search by putting all of
our effort into creating the perfect resume and then sending
it out to hundreds of joblessings, only to be disappointed
(26:24):
when you never hear back from any of them, or
maybe one or two. And that's because we rely too
much on the resume. The resume. Think of it as
a as a leave behind, almost like networking always has
been and always will be, where most of your effort
should come in. And then the resume is a way
(26:45):
for someone to introduce you to someone else. But to
just blindly send out your resume to job listenings is
the least effective way to find the job. That's why
you shouldn't rely too heavily on the resume. A basic
resume one page that gives the basic information where did
you go to school, where did you work, what title?
A couple of ballpoints and what you did that I
(27:05):
can get in ten seconds or less is a signe resume.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That's great advice, Greg Giangrande. You can get more of
that at go to Greg dot com. He is a
career advice expert and you can check him out. As
I said on go to Greg dot com. Thanks a lot, Greg,
Thank you, Larry.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Have a good week.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I talk to you again next week.
