Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank you for being here. We're halfway through the week
(00:03):
now in the Big Three. Today, President Trump celebrates his
first one hundred days in Michigan.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hello, Michigan.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Hello, We love you, Michigan.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
We love you.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
But it was a combative interview with the very biased
ABC's Terry Moran that stole a lot of the attention.
One hundred percent confidence in one hundred percent? Confidence in anything? Okay, anything?
Do I have one hundred percent? It's a stupid question.
The whole interview seemed more like a debate than the interview.
(00:38):
Terry Moran, I'm going to make a name for myself,
went into that with an absolute bias, and just like that,
as I predicted yesterday, the tariffs have been adjusted to
help Michigan automakers.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I'm giving them a little bit of a break, right.
They took in parts from all over the world. I
don't want that. I want them to make their parts here.
But I gave him a little bit of time. It's
fifteen percent and then ten percent of the parts, so
it's not so bad.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
For two years, the tariffs have been reduced substantially on
auto parts coming into the country, so the automakers can
make their autos without having to pay more for parts.
And the Harvey Weinstein retrial is now under way and
three accusers like Mimi Haley have to testify again.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Well, it what's a difficult decision. Took a while for
her to think about it. It's a big commitment of time,
mostly of emotion, having to relive the traumatic events to
which she testified.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
That was Haley's attorney Gloria Alread. We want to tell
you about something tonight on seven to ten War From
eight to ten, WOOR will run a simulcast of News
Nations town Hall and listen to the moderators. This is
going to be fascinating. Chris Cuomo, Bill hell Oiley and
(02:01):
Stephen A. Smith marking the first hundred days of the
Trump administration. So be sure to tune in eight to
ten tonight on WOR. Now, let's get to Jeffrey Lickman,
one of your favorite guests in mine, high profile criminal
defense attorney. Jeffrey, Good morning to you, Thanks for coming.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
On, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Larry so Jefferly, let's talk about his first hundred days
because he set a record on lawsuits. There have been
over two hundred lawsuits against the Trump administration, and there's
been seventy injunctions or negative rulings against him. This certainly
does seem like it's a strategy.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
What do you think, Well, there's not even a question.
I mean, look at the difference compared to when Joe
Biden was in office. The Republicans put in judges to
simply decide the law, and you don't see any of
these types of lawsuits or obstructive behavior. The Democrats, on
the other hand, put an activist as judges, and as
soon as they get in, their sole purpose is to
(03:04):
try to stop the Republican agenda. That's what they've done
with Trump. They frustrated many of the things that they'd
like to do.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Any of them stand out to you as especially egregious.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Well, yeah, anything with regard to immigration. I mean, it's
completely out of control. It's gotten to the point that
you've got an activist judge in Wisconsin who obstructed justice
to try to save an illegal who was about to
be detained by Ice. And this is someone who was
a violent, a domestic abuser, and you've got a judge
who's not only trying to help this abuser avoid justice,
(03:42):
also prevented the victim of this abuser from getting due
process and also put the ICE agents in danger who
had to chase this savage down. So this is the
kind of stuff. This is how far these activist judges
are going. They're willing to put a violent illegal ahead
of the rights of Americans.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, let's talk about Rikers Island for a second, because
that is now going to court as well, and it stopped.
And in a normal state, in a state where there
were some fair judges, you would think that that's a
no brainer. You're protecting the community. If you let criminals
out into the streets, they're going to have to be
(04:23):
caught out there. There could be a shootout, Well, they
could commit a crime again, or to assault somebody else.
It makes absolute sense for Rikers to pick them up
at Rikers Island, and yet a judge has put an
injunction on it and said no, that can happen. Where
do you think this goes? I know it's difficult when
it comes to New York, But where do you think
this goes?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Look, I have no faith in the system in New
York when it comes to immigration. I know that Adams,
you know, once every ten times he seems to do
the right thing. I guess a blind squirrel occasionally catches
a nut, but I don't have much faith at anything
the good will happen with Riker's Island. I don't understand
(05:04):
why these politicians want to endanger New Yorkers. It makes
no sense. And at some point you'd like to think
that the average New Yorker will realize that this is
not a safe place to live because the judges, the politicians,
I mean, the people that are running for mayor, for
the most part, they all are very pro violent criminal
(05:26):
It's just it's absolute madness.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's interesting that you took that kind of shot at
Mayor Adams. I tend to agree with you on most things.
I think he's changed, specifically because he had the Trump
administration that did him a big favor. So who there,
Who do you look at now for mayor of New
York that you let's see you say, can stomach?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I mean, look, they're all bad. The only one I
suppose that would be law and order would be Curtis Sliwa,
my ex radio partner. I don't think Curtis has a
chance to win because I think he's largely of by
the public as a buffoon. That being said, why is
he any more of a buffoon than Eric Adams who
(06:06):
gets indicted for being owned by a Muslim terror state
and the only way he can get out of it
without going to jail for ten years is because Trump
pulled him out of it and had his case dismissed.
I don't know, you know, there's really not many people left, Larry,
wish you could point to someone you can help me.
I mean, I suppose Cuomo. Cuomo is, you know, is
(06:26):
a repulsive human being on so many different levels. They're
all rotten. I don't find any of them will actually
work in the favor of New Yorkers in terms of
their safety. You know, you have a socialist who supports
hamas a practically a communist who's second in the Democratic
polling right now. I mean, my god, Larry, Well, this
(06:48):
place has become Sodom and Gomorro wrapped up into one.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
That's the guy that scares me, Zora Mamdani, because he
has so much funding, he has so much support behind him,
and every time you look at a new poll he rises.
It shows you that there is a large contingent of socialists,
a large contingent of people that won him in office.
(07:14):
And I don't discount him at all, especially if he
runs in the general under the working party of the
working family party, because I believe that's going to happen.
But what you just said he should scare us all.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
It's not even a question.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
I mean, this is a guy who came who rose
to prominence by hating Jews and supporting Muslim terror. I mean,
my god, is this how far we've come in What
is it now less than twenty four years since nine
to eleven that you've got a socialist, actually a communist
Muslim terror supporter is getting a significant amount of support
(07:54):
in New York City? Is this all it takes to
overthrow an American city is to commit violent muddy terror
and all of a sudden they're embraced because the population
just throws in the towel. I mean, it's horrifying. This
is a place if you have a brain in your
head and you can get away, you need to get
away from New York.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
I hope a good reporter out there does a deep
dive to find out who is actually behind him and
who is supporting him, because he's extremely well organized and
he is very well funded. But I want to talk
to you about the two judges that were arrested by
Ice for aiding and abetting people criminals who were here illegally,
(08:32):
one in Wisconsin and one in New Mexico. The Democrats
are having protests in Wisconsin in New Mexico over this,
thinking it's absolutely unfair. What do you think of that case?
It's unusual.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Well, I alluded to it before, And keep in mind
there was a third one. There was a federal judge
in Boston that occurred back when Trump was in office.
The first time after he lost the election, Biden was
in place, he had the case dismissed. So this is
the third time I leftist judge has looked to help
an illegal over the rights of Americans. You know, it
(09:10):
really depends on where the case is brought. The case
in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is turning blue rapidly. It's going to
be the only challenge for the Feds is going to
be to be able to prove intent. Was the reason
why the judge did this, to help the illegal get away,
was to a criminal intent as opposed to oh well,
(09:32):
I just wanted to make sure that my courtroom, you know,
there was no issues there and that there was no
upsetting the people that were there that day. New Mexico.
My god, the judge was hiding a violent illegal in
his house. I mean, where what kind of banana republic
have we become, Larry, Where this sort of behavior occurs.
(09:53):
I mean, it's absolutely maddening. Not all judges are like this,
and I'm talking about liberal judges. Many of them are
capable of following the laws, but many of them are
simply activists and are against not only Trump but against
the safety of Americans. Because this is just what liberalism is.
And I've always said it's a mental disorder, Larry, there's
really no other way around.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, that guy in New Mexico even gave the guy
a gun. So yeah, we'll see where this one goes.
Jeffrey Lickman, high profile criminal defense attorney, Thanks so much
for being with us again.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Thanks for having me, Larry.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Bill Belichick is finding out the hard way that having
a hot young girlfriend sometimes isn't all it's cracked up
to be. We'll explain next. Plus tickets to see Creton's
Clear What a Revival founder and lead singer John Fogerty
at the Beacon Feed or at eight twenty five. Go
back if you want to leave a talkback, go to
seven to ten WLR on the iHeartRadio app and click
(10:47):
the talkback button and then you're on the air.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Good morning, Larry. If I was the president, I would
have given him a right hook.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
What an idiot that guy was, Terry Moran.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, I agree, he's not an idiot though he's actually
a really smart guy. But he is driven and he
wants to make a name for himself and he thinks
this is how you do it when he's actually hurting
his network. There was a moment in the interview. There
was a moment that I wish Donald Trump would have taken.
He said. Terry Moran asked him if he had one
(11:22):
hundred percent confidence in hag Seth as Defense secretary. He said,
I don't have a one hundred percent confidence in anything. What
a stupid question. He goes, I don't know one hundred
percent confidence that we're going to finish this interview, and
Terry Moran said, yes, you are right. Then I would
have got up and left just to prove him wrong
at that moment. But that's just not Donald Trump. He
(11:43):
doesn't do those kind of things.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
You said it all, What about those women Larry, Like
you said, what about those women and those children abused
a sex trafficking, women raped? What about all those women?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
What about those ones?
Speaker 3 (11:59):
There was no there's no vetting, as you say, there's nobody, nobody, nobody,
uh looks and considers those people.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I'm so nut. I'm so glad he brought that up.
That was what I talked about yesterday, the fact that
Donald Trump is getting ripped in the media for individual
cases of people who were here illegally, many committed crimes,
being deported and they have become cause celebs for the
Democrats who didn't cover at all the fact that people
(12:32):
were dying trying to get to the border because it
was supposed to be wide open. Thirty percent of the
young women were getting raped by the cartels, many of
them were used in human trafficking. No, that wasn't really
a story. This is a story. Camierra Braille is a
big story. Gomez is a huge story. That's a big story.
(12:54):
That's what they want to wrap their arms around. Not
these kids, many of them who are still missing. I
am so glad that that research came out showing that
ninety three percent right now of the stories about Donald
Trump in his first hundred days are negative, and under Biden,
(13:19):
fifty three percent were positive in that disaster, and they
ignored stories like that. Thanks so much for calling and
saying that. Now, let's get the Bill Belichick. He's fascinating,
isn't he Maybe the greatest coach or one of the
greatest coaches of all time in the NFL. But he's
(13:40):
left the NFL. He's gone on to coach in college.
And now it's seventy three years old. He has a
twenty four year old girlfriend, and of course everybody wants
to know about it. Of course everybody wants to talk
about it. I'm sure I don't know why he's surprised
at that. But on CBS this morning, of course they
talk to him about his life, but then they wanted
(14:01):
to talk to him about his girlfriend. And the weird
thing is, and Natalie, you saw this. It's the weird
thing is is that he's there being interviewed and his
girlfriend's in the background, right.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Yeah, she's you know, off camera, a couple of feet
away behind.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Like a desk in a computer, and she would just
pop up every once in a while and interrupt. Yes,
And so she would pop up and interrupt even about football.
So you have maybe the best coach of all time,
the winner of several Super Bowls, they're talking about football,
and she would get up and interrupt.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
She is a nightmare. She is an absolute nightmare. Now,
of course, the topic came up about the relationship you
have Jordan right over there. Everybody in the world seems
to be following this relationship. They've got an opinion about
your private life.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
He's got nothing to do with them, but they're invested
in it.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
How do you deal with that?
Speaker 6 (14:59):
Never been too worried about what everybody else thinks. Just
try to do what I feel like, is that's for
me and what's right.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah, that's absolutely true, that's absolutely true. And then Jordan
Hudson is, you know, popping up every once in a
while to look to see how he's going to answer it.
Jordan Hudson is the twenty four year old girlfriend, and
every once in a while, as we said, she would
pipe up, how did you guys meet not talking about this? No, no,
(15:25):
it is being new. Yeah, but that's basically what she
did the whole interview, right, just little things. She would
just pomp up, impose herself. Now that time she was
asked a question. She was directly as asked a question,
and that's the one time she didn't want to know.
Speaker 10 (15:42):
That question was for Bill.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
Oh, and she interrupted, Oh, I thought he said.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
No, how did you guys meet?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Not talking about this?
Speaker 7 (15:52):
Didn't even have a chance to breathe before she popped
up and gave her answer to the question.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
She was like, a bad PR person. Have you ever
tell a that in interviews?
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Yep, yeppy when they send the back and you ask
a question and they're like no, you go okay.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah, I've gotten this so many arguments with PR people
over the years that try to interrupt during interviews. I
don't I don't believe that's their job. You can tell
me beforehand, never tell me during the interview. And with that,
let's get the seven thirty News with Jacqueline Carl Jacqueline
Good Morning.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Police are looking for a man wanted for a shooting
near Times Square. Police say a twenty nine year old
man was shot in the arm at Seventh Avenue in
West forty seventh Street a little before five o'clock this morning.
This suspect took off. It's unclear what led up to
the shooting. The victim was sent to the hospital in
stable condition, and a woman accusing Harvey Weinstein of sex
assault is detailing her experience with him on the witness
(16:50):
stand during Weinstein's sex crimes retrial.
Speaker 11 (16:54):
Miriam Haley is a former production assistant who took the
stand on Tuesday. She says she met the Star Hall
with producer Harvey Weinstein in two thousand and three and
claims he made comments about her legs and asked her
for a massage. Then, in two thousand and six, Haley
says while working on one of Weinstein's projects, she says
Weinstein sexually assaulted or insider lower Manhattan apartment. Haley gave
(17:15):
the same testimony at Weinstein's first trial in twenty twenty,
in which his conviction was overturned. Weinstein maintains his innocence
in a retrial involving three accusers. I'm Scott Pringle wrd's.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
So we have a teen making over one thousand dollars
a month selling paintings. Why are you telling us this,
Jacqueline Standby. According to Birmingham Mail, Ella Woodland trained her
three pet rats to paint by guiding their paws with
baby food and is making good money selling the paintings.
The three rats named Rumpel, Reed, and Googler painted a
(17:50):
few pictures on seven x seven canvases and Ella dot
why not listed for sale on the website vented. She's
now sold over one hundred and twenty rat paint and
has made over thirteen hundred.
Speaker 10 (18:02):
Dollars for them. What am I doing here?
Speaker 7 (18:05):
And my kids are looking for internships. I just give
them a couple of pet rats and let them go
on their way. I'm so silly.
Speaker 10 (18:15):
I know what we're we thinking. You know, I think
this is a great story. Good for her. I like, somebody,
I'll buy them. I've seen them. Have you seen them?
Speaker 6 (18:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, I have to.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
They're like when you go to MoMA and there's just
a one line painted down.
Speaker 10 (18:28):
The side, and you're like, I could do this, but
we didn't. No, all right, well we'll go look for
these pictures. I'll try to put up on our social sites.
So pretty interesting the rat prints.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
How much did you say how much they're going for?
Speaker 10 (18:44):
They don't say how much they're going for a piece.
But she sold, she did.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
She sold one hundred and twenty and made like thirteen
hundred dollars.
Speaker 10 (18:51):
So that's math and ten bucks a piece.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah, them, and how long do they last on your wall?
I mean maybe a weekend? It ends up, it probably
every single time, ends up with what was I thinking?
Speaker 10 (19:06):
But she's got laughing all the way to the bank.
So good for you, Ella.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
That thirteen hundred bucks our.
Speaker 10 (19:11):
Friends, and more to come, Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Our friend Joe Kancha has a new book, The Greatest
Comeback Ever, Inside Trump's Big Beautiful Campaign. We'll talk with
Joe about it next.
Speaker 12 (19:24):
Well.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Our good friend Joe kancha Fox News contributor has a
new book out. It's called The Greatest Comeback Ever, Inside
Trump's Big Beautiful Campaign. It just came out yesterday and
I love what's on the back of the book. But first,
before we get to that, let's introduce Joe Kancha. Joe,
thanks so much for being here today.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Oh thanks for having me. This is a very exciting
week and MENTI in the morning is a big part
of that.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So thank you guys. Oh absolutely, I'm so glad you
could come on. I went to the back of the book.
I have a copy of it here, and most people
on the back of their have all these accolades and
people recommending the book. Instead, you have all of these
people that were wrong about the election, badly wrong about
the election, like Nikki Haley and Bill Maher and Chris Christy,
(20:13):
Nancy Pelosi, and at the very bottom you have Joe Kanca.
In October of twenty twenty four, it says Trump wins
this quite easily. Save the tape, play it back if
I'm wrong. This is how it's going to end. How
did you know? Then?
Speaker 6 (20:32):
I said it on w R Believe it or not,
And that was with our friend Sean Hannity. You know,
Larry I just a Kamala Harris was the opponent to
Donald Trump. So I just cannot see in the end
America saying this person should be the next president, along
with goofy Tim Walls being the vice president. But more importantly,
(20:53):
Donald Trump was on the right side of every issue.
He was winning in the early vote, which was something
that we had never seen before.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
And in the end, I.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Just saw this as like a manifest destiny kind of
thing where Trump was gonna win back this presidency, despite
the fact that he had ninety one felony charges against
him at one point, despite the fact we had a
hostile media that was against him, and still is at
every turn. And the fact that he survived those two
assassinations attempts, particularly the first one where he shot in
(21:24):
the ear, and instead of staying on the ground like
I think most of us would have been, said get
me the heck out of here, he stands up, doesn't
know there's a second shooter or anything like that, and says, fight, fight, fight,
And Larry, when I interviewed the President for the book,
I wanted to talk about that more. I said, what
made you, in that moment want to stand up despite
(21:44):
the fact that you could be exposing yourself again, you're bleeding.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 6 (21:50):
And he said, you know, I knew my youngest son
was watching that rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. I knew my
wife was watching. I knew the country was watching. And
I wanted to make sure or everybody knew that I
was okay and that nothing's gonna stop me. I'm going
to continue moving forward no matter what you do. And
I'm like, wow, I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
No, but that's a wonderful anecdote. And the fact that
he thought of his family first says a lot about
the man. You list a lot of reasons why big
moments in the campaign and why he won. And I
think the biggest moment and I thought he won with
the debate in Biden. I think once Biden fumbled so
(22:30):
much in that debate, all of America saw behind the
curtain and realize we've been lied to. And I think
that that launched Trump. There were other big moments I realized,
but would you agree that maybe the biggest.
Speaker 6 (22:46):
That they're probably three, that was one of them. Absolutely, Larry,
And the fact is that I love the that we
hear from so many people now that Wow, we didn't
know about Biden's cognitive decline. We were misled received No,
you were talking about it on this radio show. I
was talking about it on Fox. We've known since like
(23:07):
twenty nineteen that Joe Biden's brain had turned to applesauce
right and a long time ago had no business being
near the Oval office. So certainly the debate was one
of them. I think another one was the vice presidential debate,
because all we heard about was how weird jd Vance
was and then he gets up there and just blows
Tim Walls out of the water, who looked like a
(23:28):
deer in the headlights you're like, oh boy, we can't
let the scoopy guy be anywhere near even the vice presidency.
But then I think that visit to McDonald's was so huge.
And on the cover of the book, that's the photo
that I used is Donald Trump waving goodbye to somebody
at the drive through when he did a shift over
in Pennsylvania at McDonald's as the friest guy, as the
(23:49):
drive through guy, and all we heard was that Trump
is Hitler, Trump is a fascist, Trump is a threat
to democracy. Well, you know, in last check, Keitler probably
didn't do a shift at McDonald's. And he was the
happy candidate, right, He was a joyful warrior and it
was Kabala and Tim Walls who were the angry ones.
And I think that he just showed their a that
(24:09):
Kamala never worked in the McDonald's because she wrote two
memoirs on her own life and never mentioned that once,
never mentioned it when she ran for president in twenty nineteen,
never mentioned it when she was vice president. Suddenly she's
saying she worked at McDonald's, so she didn't. More importantly,
this was the billionaire that people can relate to, and
that photo of Donald Trump at McDonald's photos. I should
say that went to places non propensity voters, viral that
(24:33):
Kabla Harris could never touch. And I think that was
the genius of the campaign and that's why I used
it on the cover of the book.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Larry, I'm sure you have this in the book. But
another thing that he did that was brilliant, and I
understand this might have been Baron's idea, and it's more
than a strategy than a moment. Exact that culminated with
Joe Rogan was go to alternative media, and it turns
out that was huge in his victory.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Yeah, I mean the Joe Rogan interview Donald Trump was
born in three hours with him and Kamala Harris tries
to put conditions on Joe Rogan says, I'm not going
to go to Austin, Texas to do the interview. I'm
too busy. Uh huh. Also, by the way, we're only
going to do an hour. We're not going to go
any more than an hour, and I want to know
what the topics are beforehand. When she did do that
(25:22):
interview and Trump and jd Vance did that was huge.
And then the Al Smith dinner, Larry, right here, in
New York. Kamala blows it off all those Catholic voters.
Cardinal Dolan speaks about it to this day. And Trump
goes there and is like the Dean Martin of roasters.
As far as roasting Kamala. That night, well, Kamala sends
a video. I think that was a huge moment as well.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I love that you brought up the vice presidential debate.
I thought that's when I became an enormous JD. Vance fan,
and I hope he runs for president. But you're right
when you have Tim Walls, When you have Tim Walls
saying sometimes I'm a knuckleheud, and that is the that's
the audio that's played over and over again. You lost
(26:04):
that debate, right then?
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Oh yeah, and maybe you lost the election, right. I mean,
this is the guy who said that he handled weapons
of war and war zones and actually no, he actually
ditched his National Guard unit, said that he was in
Hong Kong during the Tieneman Square massacre. No, he was
in a Nebraska cornfield. But the thing that made me
the most angry Larry was when he said that AOC
when they're playing some video game football video game against
(26:29):
each other, He says that AOC runs a real being
pick six. If you don't football, you don't run a
pick six. It's the thing that just kind of happens organically.
And that's where I'm like, all right, these guys are phony.
That was the thing. Trump was authentic. JD was authentic,
and Tim Walls and Kamala Harris not so much. So
here we are now. It's the greatest comeback ever. And
(26:49):
I hope everybody buys the book.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, I think they. This is a great book. It's
just the right size for me. By the way, I'm
going to get through this. I'm reading this book. I'm
gonna absolutely rate it. It looks fascinating and i just love
the way you write as well. So I'm absolutely gonna
read it. And then we get to talk again. I'll
go through it with you again because I think it's
extremely important. I think it's maybe the most important campaign
(27:12):
in history, and I'm glad that you documented in this book.
It's called the Greatest Comeback Ever, Inside Trump's Big Beautiful Campaign.
It's available online and in bookstores now, written of course
by the incomparable Joe Kanca. Thanks so much, Joe, Larry.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I'm a married man. But it's a date.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Let's do it again, all right?
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Can't wait? Joe kancha Fox News contributor, I don't put
out in the first time new book, The Greatest Comeback Ever.
Inside Trump's Big Beautiful campaign. Do you want to cut
your risk of stroke? How about dementia depression? Well, there
are seventeen ways to cut that risk. Doctor Poland goes
(27:52):
through three of them. Next, it's amazing. There's a list
out with seventeen ways to cut your risk of stroke, dementia,
and depress and you can get rid of all of them,
or at least cut the risk of it all at once.
Let's talk about that with doctor Gregory Poland later in
Vaccines and Infectious Diseases at the Mayo Clinic and president
(28:12):
of the Atriar Research Institute in New York. Doctor Poland,
as always, thank you for your time. You're going to
deal with five of these.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
Huh yeah, as you mentioned, Larry, and this is good news.
These are things that you can take control of to
decrease your risk of stroke by up to sixty percent, well,
dementia by forty percent, and later life depression by thirty
five percent.
Speaker 12 (28:39):
And when you look at the Big five, the ones
that have the most effect.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
It's your blood pressure, your body weight, particularly being obese
increases those risks, your blood sugar related to your blood pressure,
your sodium intake, and smoking. They're seventeen risk factors that
we can modify. But those are the Big five, and
(29:05):
those are things that everybody can take control of and improve.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Yeah, and they help you with many things. I wouldn't
think it's just those. I mean, you're just healthier overall.
I know that recently the Alzheimer's Association even came out
and started talking about the semaglutide drugs and they're studying
them because it can help fight Alzheimer's. And then I
(29:33):
think I talked to you about it and you said, well,
that's just the weight with the plaque on the brain.
If you lose weight, you get less plaque on the brain.
Is that right.
Speaker 9 (29:42):
It's more than that, it decreases inflammation. These drugs are
appearing to be almost miracle drugs, Larry. I mean, it
is amazing the protective effect of these drugs. And you
know you mentioned Alzheimer's. The numbers are staggering. In the
about seven million people have Alzheimer's that's a forty percent
(30:06):
increase just since twenty fifteen, and by twenty fifty the
numbers are expected to double again to fourteen million. So
it really is important. And as you just pointed out,
these risk factors overlap. It's more than stroke and dementia.
It's also heart disease. It's also mental health, physical activity,
(30:28):
et cetera.
Speaker 12 (30:29):
These all overlap and they're just good healthy living strategies.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I love that you called the semaglutide drugs miracle drugs
because I agree with you, and I think a lot
of people are out there saying that right now. So
why is it so darn expensive if it's so good
for us?
Speaker 12 (30:46):
Yeah? Maybe that's why.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 12 (30:50):
The real reason is when new drugs first come into
the market, they are the most expensive they ever will
be because the man you factors have a limited amount
of time while they're on patent and.
Speaker 9 (31:04):
Not generic to recoup all the development costs. So, for example,
a vaccine from start to being approved by the FDA
in marketing costs about one billion US dollars.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It's a shame though, that it's so expensive right now,
because as you pointed out, it can save lives. This
and go ahead.
Speaker 12 (31:30):
Yeah, you're absolutely right, Larry, And you know, you begin
to think, well, would an.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
Important strategy be for insurance companies or the government to
subsidize the cost of those because they make they save
money on the other end of it, Right, if you
don't have a stroke, if you don't have a heart attack,
if you don't have dementia, Well, that's a lot of
savings healthcare costs. So why not make those popularly accessible?
(31:58):
And you know, as you know, it's sort of the
inverse of what you'd think.
Speaker 12 (32:02):
People in a.
Speaker 9 (32:03):
Lower economic strata tend to have more risk factors than
people at a higher economic strata.
Speaker 12 (32:11):
A lot of.
Speaker 9 (32:11):
Reasons for that, but these are in part systematic inequities
in our system.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Well, that is brilliant and I'm behind you one thousand percent.
That is so smart for insurance companies and for everybody
to push for that. I just hope we get a
couple of politicians behind that, because then maybe it can happen.
But great idea. Doctor Gregory Poland, leader in vaccines and
infectious diseases at the Mayo Clinic and president of the
Atria Research Institute in New York, thank you so much.
Speaker 12 (32:43):
Thank you, Larry, thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
That's was brilliant. I absolutely agree with them. Why hasn't
anybody thought of that. We should be pushing for that,
We should be pushing for those, for the things like
ozepic and w'gov for the prices to come down because
it absolutely is a miracle drug and it absolutely saves lives. Well,
we now know after that special election, who is going
(33:07):
to fill Joe Borelli's council seat, and we're going to
talk with Joe Borelli about it next coming up, that's
right after the eight o'clock news
