Speaker 3 (01:15):
Well, you know, it's cool because it's it's working. People
like it. I mean, we are in the arena, so
it's not another show of what do you think, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Kind of other people in the arena.

Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah, well, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
And yeah, what always bugged me is, you know, this
opinion on everything and having done nothing, you know, and
it goes into the kind of the opening thoughts for today.
You know, we just did this insane motorcycle trip, right.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Insane is a good good word alive folk.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Call it on Facebook. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
So, but you know throughout that there's always something gurgling
in my head, you know, and teeth, Yeah, frocks.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
But there was some rocks.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
The importance of the helmet, Yeah, but our head cracking livestyle.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
But the thought was, you know, we had to fly in,
we had to drive five hours. You know, you're in
the sweat, dirt. It's not easy, you know, and then
you're you're going through seventy and you're on top of
a mountain looking out at this incredible country and world
and God, and it's circulated to me.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
It goes back. I think I was talking to you
about skiing.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Right, it's pain the neck, you're tired, your kids are crying,
it's heavy, it's cold. Yeah, it's a freezing and you
take a run with your family and you get that
feeling and you're on top of the mountain. But in
a micro sense, things that are hard are great, right,
Like if you think about how hard life actor has been.
We saved ten lives today.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Okay, that's okay for a run of a loss.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
We have a flap that the audience is not good.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
They're busting. They're busting.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
People are a lot of peanut butter today.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
They've almost gotten used to it, but we never can.
As you look at the details of some of the
lives saved, it becomes more than just the number.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
But here's what I wanted to post to you guys.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Right, So I was thinking in my life a lot
of hard things, but as grown up as a kid, yeah,
my dad would make me do everything.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
I was the indentured.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Servant and that was my job, and I understood that
as it should be.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
I had no problem with that.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
And one year, I had to break up the cement
in the entire basement. I had to take a sledgehat.
I couldn't swing it full because basement was low, smashing
into little pieces. Put in a wheelbow, wheel it up
out back, dump it do. The whole thing underneath was
another floor and my dad had the great idea said
we should take that up too. Okay, another floors. She

(03:43):
came into scrape later she was involved in the The
scrape was scraping, but the point was it was humongously difficult.
And then I had to break up the rock to
put them back down. And it was a project. But
two things. One since it was so hard, I was
really proud of it, and my dad was.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Proud of me.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
And to this day that floor hasn't cracked. It's like
ten feet thick. And the cement guy was like, what
are you going to do with drive it tanks down here?
Because it was lan Yeah, you know his dad he
was an engineer. But think of something in your life,
not like work wise so much. Think of something that
was hard. What was something Yeah, no kid, Yeah, well

(04:26):
that's great too, but that's a good point. Yeah, but
can you think of something YouTube want something you did
that was really hard that afterwards you were like, man,
that that you know it.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Was worth it.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
I can always equate it to beginning a football season
with doubles and triples on hot days and you're like,
it's almost a survival thing. It's so hard. You just
got to survive it when you do. And we were
lucky we had real good teams. It was like, you know,
that was totally worth it, right when you when you're
going through it, you're crying and think you're doing.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
This another kid. And I was not in the basement
saying how proud it was you. I had sweat and
asbestos and cement all over me.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Does it make the result more sweet? So, for instance,
life fact, your journey twenty twelve invented to twenty sixteen
before life was saved now incredible, you know, blown past
four thousand lives saved. You know, does that time period
where the struggles were imminent every day to.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Make it more I think only because I had one.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
It was for life, you know, and knowing what the
pain of loss in an instant is and how devastating is,
so it wasn't as conscious, right, it was just keep
going work twenty hours a day stalk. Everyone in the
world just keep going. But in this case, do you
have a story? Do you have something that you.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Were There were a couple of things that was really hard.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Two things perfectly younger, oh younger, because this was a
young homeowner. I remember taking apart because I couldn't do
anything to construct, but I could destruggle. So I tore
apart the bathroom, the pool, and also took all the
pad lame off the side of the house, which I knew.
You know, it was difficult. It wasn't pretty cut myself

(06:06):
quite a bit, and does anyone who knows me, very
not handy at all. So breaking things down was much
more my style, but very very difficult, but I knew
the end result was going to be a more beautiful home.
And because the wife was waiting, and you know what
they say, happy wife, happy life.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Okay, you're more of a decom man.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
I am exactly take things apart.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
My Italian in laws roll, He's like, oh, you're irish.
You can pick up those rocks and move them in.
We'll take care of the painting in the detail.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
You're the you're the Idioto moves.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yes, now does Kevin New generation We have some of
our offspring in the audience, does Kevin? Now do they
get their hands dirty?

Speaker 5 (06:44):
Kevin is the least We call them country Club TV.
He's more of a manager on construction sites than an
actual work.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
That's smart.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
He goes out, you're doing that wrong, watch your fingers
move that over My oldest connor more of a getting
his hands dirty in hand.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
It doesn't necessarily mean that. Like you know, I know
with Jack growing up doing gymnastics. For me it was
a little tough and I was threatened. Or with redoing
the basement, Oh we have a cross space. It really
be nasty. And I told her the story many times.
But I think that we have to be conscious kind
of like fear. Right, we worry about fear. It's in
the book, right, we worry about fear. You're afraid to

(07:22):
do something but everything great. You have to be afraid
of having a child's grace thinking the world. We're all
scared when we get this little thing and we got
to take it home, and that they're not going to
help us anymore.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Very frightened. And the book is of course, sorry, can't
is a lie. You can go to life fact dot
net and pick up your own copy. Sorry, can't is
allie life fact dot net? And while you're there, hey,
why not pick up a Life Act protect those you love?
Use codem I t A for a great discount and
you get the book. You get a Life Act to
protect your family. And we've protected how how many units?

(07:54):
So we talk about the live saves and we're over
well over four thousand, and then the number will come
up later in the show. Ray preview, mister three K.
We'll give us the latest and greatest stories, but do
we know how many lives are protected or how many
life facts have been disturbed?

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Like three million, three and a half million? I did
the math. You know, you like doing this. That's just
like you always say, though you hope you never have
to use it, but you want to have it for sure.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
And later on the show, we're going to be talking
about how Texas has taken great measures to protective.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
States deleted because of the difficulty to get that passed
and getting a law passed.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
You know, and talking about difficult stuff.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, because I think we and it goes back to
the fear thing when I kind of had that revelation
about fear. We fear things that are great you're afraid
to start that business, but if you do, when you succeed,
it's great, and that fear is part of it. And
I think we have to understand the importance of difficulty,

(08:50):
of pain, of sacrifice in the good way. It was
what we just did being in the freaking hot sun
dirtle overs back to.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
A life, beat up, drop the e, drop the e,
but alive, monumental and I can't thank you enough for
the experience. I mean, Jackie was a rock star. Mike
Singer's son was a rock star.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Like you would have loved the comedy. Oh my god,
it was. You know, it's a bunch of guys just being.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
And I'm great hot weather. I'm great out in the desert.
It's good for you sweat, reading the book and a
meat lockers you meet a desert. If I fell in
the dirt, I looked like a bread And.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
That's a good point. But that's paint, that's paint.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Such a pretty picture.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Yeah, but we take off our mask and like our faith, like.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Jockey on any It was a good California dust. We're
talking with Arthur Lee pad O'Rourke, and of course I'm
Rick Thatcher, the man in the arena. We're going to

great things that Tony Lebate's doing with Equal First Aid,

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Now on iHeartRadio, more of the Man in the Arena
the Life Back Radio Show. Here again are Arthur Lee
and Rick Thatcher.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
And now the Woman in the Arena Tony Lebate a
vehicle first aid, just tremendous works she always does. But
the big win this week Texas takes old action on
choking emergencies with HB five forty nine. Life BacT supports
this new law, of course, and it's called the Western
Brian Mandrel Act. And we'll talk more about the Western
Brian Mandrel Foundation which we reached out to. And so

(12:30):
Tony Lebate welcome as always a frequent flyer here, will
always welcome you. How gratify it.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Let's celebrate for a second and explain, you know, the
family and what what it was transpired, and you know
the fact that the Texas is the first and only
eighty eight compliance state.

Speaker 7 (12:49):
So Texas was slow going at first. The representative was, Yeah,
we're going to draft it, We're going to put it in,
and this is where he kept following it, Please you
have to put a villain. And then finally we found
out that his own daughter had choked. And I didn't
hear it directly, but that was the story. His daughter choked,
and the bill then became a priority. So November of
twenty twenty four he then did put the bill in.

(13:12):
So from November twenty four till now. It took seven
months for a law to get past in Texas, so
that really went fast. So it passed the House. There
was opposition that was on record, and we were really
nervous about that.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
But you know what the opposition was.

Speaker 7 (13:26):
The opposition was from the Nurses Association and they just
were worried about the training and just did not approve
of the bill wording, et cetera. And then the two
set next to each other, Debbie Mandrel and the Nurses Association,
and then Debbie came up and of course told her
heartbreaking story and the hearing you know, went on, and
it quickly moved out of that Education Committee and quickly

(13:48):
got picked up by the Senate, and it was just
an exciting time to see all that. It had to
be read two and three times and just to watch
it move. You can see you can see like the
little data moving along, you know, online, which was really exciting.
It got sent to the governor on June second, and
it was like waiting what happens and could he veto it?

(14:09):
And it was the googling.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah, but you have any stayed seven you've worked on
over the last ten years, almost thirteen. So tell us
a little bit though about the grandmother who was the
strongest advocate.

Speaker 7 (14:21):
Yes, so Western Mandrel's Foundation. Yes, the grandmother. Once I
told her that there was a hearing, she immediately she
spent the entire day she got there. She waited because
that was the day. I don't know if you guys
remember the hearing took place very late in the afternoon,
and we waited all day long, and so the family

(14:41):
was there all day. Finally she was able to, you know,
tell her story. So she's been following it. She's been
asking if they could be named the Western Mandrel Act
and advocating with us and also with Aaron Warren. So
we constantly just stayed together, stayed on top, kept everybody
informed and you know, let's move this along. We have
to move this bell.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
No, it was he was eighteen months old. Western. It's
appropriate that their loss, which and we have other families
that have exhibited this like just selflessness to advocate so
that others don't have to suffer the same fate.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Think about the difficulty story. They have to go through
the most difficult thing, losing a child, and whatever they did,
would the accept them, never talk you know, just whatever right.
It would be hard to say you have to do something,
and they pushed through, particularly in this case, to help
get legislation passed to save others. So if you tie

(15:39):
it into the beginning and breaking up a house or
wrecking it or going football camp, the power of fighting
through that difficulty has now made a state law that
makes all schools safe, even particularly for people with disabilities,
because they have no option.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
And they took that pain and turned on to saving lives.
And as it changes and it.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Goes through the states and we stop losing numerous kids
every year to choking. They're courage to battle through the
pain for something great is the underlying deep, you know.
And I think that's important. People need to know that
there will be pain that will be sacrificed. It is
going to be hard, but if it's worth doing, those

(16:22):
are going to be requirements.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
It'd be interesting to see what states fall in line,
not only with the legislation that is starting in place,
because I believe there's thirteen total states including Texas, but
now which others will say, you know, this is the path.

Speaker 7 (16:37):
So as far as Western Mandrel's Act, where we have
other states, for example, I would love to see Maverick's
legacy onto their bill. This coming year, we have new Jersey, right,
we have Bowen Leevy Law, which would be in Maryland
that they're drafting.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Now.

Speaker 7 (16:53):
Oh goodness, there's just so many. Well Kentucky. Yeah, Landon's hope,
which passed the Assembly, got stalled in the Senate, so
that's going to be reintroduced into another committee.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
I went there when he passed, and I met the family.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
I have done it often because I don't see how
you can kind of give your condolences in a zoom call.
They live out in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful family,
and he was such a cool kid, like he was
a big old farm boy, you know. And the interesting
thing about him is he had done a drawing and
he said when he grew up, he wanted to invent

(17:27):
something that fire fighters could use to save lives. He
actually drew that out and there was I have a
picture of what he drew in writing that. And you know,
their recovery slash turned into fighting through the difficulty to
make his dream come true. And once again it's going

(17:47):
through that pain. But to think about the fact all
these states have a child's death.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Are they all attached to a horrendous story for these
other states that we may or may not be and
you know, is there one in California.

Speaker 7 (18:02):
No, there's not one in California. But we did have
a family reach out to Life Back and then reach
out to me where they would like to see it
in South Carolina. So I do have families that want
to have bills put in. We've been trying. We've been
trying in Ohio, Michigan, but we just need that one
representative that's going to say I want to do this,
just like Maryland. Maryland was quick to pop on board.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Isn't it sad that it took Costco or it took
these states to have action. Let's pay attention to what's
gone on in Texas and the big win and get
out ahead of it before you have a child loss.

Speaker 7 (18:36):
So we have in Maryland. We didn't find out about
a choking tragedy until recently. But he passed in twenty nineteen.
So it takes all these years for their lawsuits to
settle et cetera where they can finally come public. Maryland
is not afraid to say put Life Acts in every
single school. Actually, the representative can't wait to meet the
team and to meet you. And he had say to me,

(18:57):
he just wants to shake his him and hug his neck.

Speaker 9 (19:02):
And I.

Speaker 7 (19:05):
So that state picked up. But I know that we
run across oppositions. We have so many hurdles, and I
do want to share one. So one minute Maryland is
hopping on board. And less than twenty four hours, I
had gotten a call saying, well, hey, that's great. We
can't follow what Texas did. So do you have any
other states that passed? So now now there's a political problem.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
You know this comes out more ridiculous.

Speaker 7 (19:31):
Yeah, so right, so there's no there's no exactly, and
there's no blue, there's no red. I'm not purposely going
after a certain state because of the representative. But all
I know is when I want to help a family
put a bill in, we have to have the right representative.
For example, uh, Pennsylvania, we have to we have to

(19:51):
move on. We just have to move on and ask
for another representative to please take on.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
This very critical But here's the ridiculous thing.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
And I got this way back when I first started
at Saladino as assembleman and vendetto as our center.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
You know, I can't help it. I wanted you were
to like it.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
We wanted to present the stupidity and say, here's a
bill that requires schools to obey federal law. So we're
gonna have a law that requires you to obey the law,
and if it doesn't work with another law that says
you have to obey the law, to obey the law.
Because the law, the federal law, is you have to

(20:30):
have equal policy, procedure, and equipment for those with disabilities.
Every school has a great choking post, a guy standing up.
They're doing a great no policy, no procedure, no training
is against the law. So the ridiculousness of the difficulty
to get a law where they're already breaking the law,

(20:52):
turns out that the government is really great in not
obeying the law.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
They love enforcing the law on the people. God forbid.
You say, hey, you're not a band a lot, Suddenly
that doesn't matter. Really amazing, I mean, istration of so frustrating.

Speaker 7 (21:11):
Like we said, Texas went, but now do I have
to play the game of who's read who's blue? We
don't want to do.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Maryland has actually stated that because Texas passed this, we
can't follow This is what I got I.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
Had to write this down. So yesterday I had a
phone conversation. I said, I'm sharing the news. It was
a few messages I left, but I finally got through
and he said, that's really great news. But do you
have New York? Do you have I don't know if
you said Pennsylvania whatever it was connecting you know, no, No,
this was yeah, Maryland. Do you have another state? Another

(21:43):
blue state? Because if we put a bill in, no
one's going to vote for it. And I said, that's
just you know, heartbreaking, and you know choking, choking, choking,
you know, doesn't discriminate.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
People say on you, but shame on them.

Speaker 7 (21:55):
This is the wording he used to me. So I
wrote it down because this is exactly what it is.
He said to me, Well, that's the nature of the beast,
and that's exactly what Let's change it.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Because you talked about the opposition that there was opposition,
and it turned out it was nurses with a valid
concern that their opposition was, hey, we want to make
sure everyone's trained properly. It wasn't well, you know the
other side wants it, or it's attached to someone that
may or may not have spoken to doctor Ben Carson
or you know how many other examples we have of

(22:26):
just absurd.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Drawn, ridiculous lines is continue disobey federal law and put
children at risk because.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
So you like perfect place for it to stop, right
it is.

Speaker 7 (22:42):
Life actually has six saves in Senator Marklin's district, which
is Wisconsin. Wisconsin was afraid to keep moving the bill
along because the governor was part of DPI and if
dp I was going to oppose the bill, which they
did is Department of Public Instruction. They were opposing the bill.

(23:04):
The governor was once a part of that. The bill died,
it went nowhere. So that's what's heartbreaking. And the Senator
has six saves now in his own district with six
with a Life Act exactly well, you know.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
What kids speak too, and I guess goes in with
the difficult discussion. When does someone say, I don't care,
I'm going to make this happen. Red blue, green.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
As hasn't been like this, or there wouldn't be any
fire extinguishers in the schools right right, At some point
they actually worked together and got things done.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
This is ridiculous. But you know what's crazy too, it's
not a political saying.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
We haven't had multiple children die in a school in
fire since nineteen fifty five.

Speaker 4 (23:45):
There's a hundred kids of choked to death in schools somewhere.
I started.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
So when we sit here and we say, well, that
state is landing because he died, and we say, you.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
Know in averc it's Maverick and Roi in Pennsylvania. You
could name a kid in every state. Hello. That means
it happens a lot. You know.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
It's not a federal bill for one kid. It's each
state has a child, and they have multiple children. New York,
I think seven have died in school. Enough with this red,
blue green, and why can't we pick something to get
back on track?

Speaker 4 (24:23):
And all agree that.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Exactly right, and plus the fact that children wan disabilities
who morally we deserve to give them special consideration only
because there is nothing like really, I mean, myth guy
is going nuts slightly.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Myf guy is making an appearance, lays a gentle without
and he but you could see it coming. You could
see the reason why myth guy is here. Smoke is
coming out of Arthur Lee's ears as we speak, and
rightfully so we joke about it, but it is serious.
It's something to get behind and as Pat said.

Speaker 9 (24:59):
You not.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Let's uh when we say there's more that united than
divides us, it's sometimes hard to see that.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
But you know what we do, we all get a
feeling like some reality has come back.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yes, is another boost to getting back to common sense
and humanity and right even.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
If like I jumped on this journey with you guys,
but like we meet these families. The father, I think
it was a maverick. He drives around giving out life backs.
You know, this guy who lost his son, buys it,
fills his car up and goes to places and gives
them out. There's so many stories like that of families
like just people just I don't know if this is
their way of grieving or getting you know, but how
are we not listening to these people?

Speaker 4 (25:40):
How is this not more of a I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
But and then what happened to the the fortitude and
courage of our great leaders to do what's right regardless
they can't.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
I can't vote for it because I'm a Democrat or Republican?
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (25:55):
I mean that would be punching the face material like
I couldn't. I don't know if I could control myself,
I'd say you should not be in public office, could
you believe it or not? You're supposed to be servicing us.

Speaker 5 (26:07):
Well, I think so many people have gone through that struggle.
That's why they're doing it themselves. That's where they're filling
their own car with life acts going out in hand.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
No, they are. They can't get the government to do it.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
But you know what the why there they always get
my hero logo. They went through the ultimate pain and
they're doing it so you don't feel what they felt.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
I mean talk about persevering and looking at the other side.
I mean Maverick he counts. I think he's got like
five or six that he is directed from the ones
he's given out.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Yeah, and that means his little.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Son was responsible for all those kids being alive, and
he knows those people didn't have to feel.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
On one show, he talked to us from a car
driving to another place and he's like, yeah, I'm going
to another farm give out ten ye.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
And wasn't Wisconsin the state that had the brilliant question
about cost which caused you to make.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
The famous statement I'll give them to you.

Speaker 2 (27:00):
Yeah, And that was something better.

Speaker 7 (27:02):
That was on an anniversary of a child Sam that died.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
In their school.

Speaker 7 (27:06):
It was just a sixty year anniversary. So on the
sixt year anniversary of that child dying in school, we
had the hearing and the room was heavy, right, the
room was.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Heavy, and the saw the video.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
Yeah you know you lost, some lost their child, some
saved their child. And then the word coupon came up,
code what what can you do for us?

Speaker 2 (27:28):
So he did it freak great opportunity.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Heavy. You know what.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
We have a lot of what did, We have a
lot of calls to action, and we're gonna we're up
against the break. But I'm asking for the folks of
San Diego, Los Angeles, Houston, Orlando, Dallas, New York, and
Allentown get in touch with your state senator and let
them know that common sense, yeah both sides. Let them
know that there should be a life back in every

(27:54):
school and more and even more a law to obey
the law more, Ralph Chris common sense thinking, oh no, After.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
This message, she started to choke on a piece of candy.

Speaker 10 (28:06):
She wasn't breathing.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Then Ray reached for the life back in It saved her.

Speaker 10 (28:10):
She could have easily died that day a life back
saved her life. What I would say is, don't need
a life back and not have it. Have a life
back and hopefully never need it.

Now on iHeart Radio more of the Man in the
Arena the Life Back Radio Show. Here again are Arthur
Lee and Rick Thatcher.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
And the women in the Arena. Listen. It was it
was Teddy Roosevelt who came up with the quote. And
unfortunately it wasn't of diversity of thought as much as.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Was just because we used to be able to That
was good, That was okay. But I do like when
you say and the women and the women because these
two are worried.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Well, we are joined I'm Rick Thatcher along with Arthur Lee.
We're joined by Tony Lebate, Equal first Aid, and of
course Heidi Felix, vice president of sales for Life Back
and Heidi, welcome to the show. A frequent A frequent guest.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
No, I think that title is almost condescending compared to
the heart, soul what she does and the fire of Life.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Back and Drive.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
So you're saying change of title.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
Hey, I'm the president.

Speaker 10 (30:56):
What am I?

Speaker 4 (30:57):
I'm CEO and the venture forgot that good for me.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
So so it's on the heels of on the heels
of the Texas wind. We immediately start looking at and
now we mentioned about the unfortunate communication you had with Maryland,
but now we have these other states that have bills
in progress.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Work of course, and you know we've been back and forth.
I mean I've been in mob obviously, I went to Wisconsin.
We want to all been I've been in there to
put a freaking.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Joke up places.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
But I think with Heidi particular, to talk a little
bit about the difficulty of getting a bill this simple
and this mom basically do a bet of Lord and
protect kids with disabilities.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
How hard would that?

Speaker 2 (31:41):
It's more difficult than school rock just a bill.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
Bill? He signed your.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
Bill, your law.

Speaker 9 (31:50):
Yeah, well it's interesting. Tony and I went to Threaten,
New Jersey and we were there to testify, and we
had of course Maverick's parents, and we had Darren and Kim,
and we also had some families who actually had lost
their son unfortunately, had choked to death on a bus
and he was in a wheelchair. So when we got

(32:11):
up to testify, you know, I had to address, you know,
the animal in the room, which was the fact that
this boy had choked it up on a bus without
you know, anybody there to resuscitate him. And so we
were talking about having it in schools, but having it
on the transportation vehicles is paramount too, because how many
of us send our kids with a snack or you

(32:32):
haven't fed him in the morning, or now they.

Speaker 7 (32:33):
Have a snack on the way home.

Speaker 9 (32:34):
And you know, I don't think these bus drivers are
equipped and understand, you know, what they have to do
in order to save them, and especially this child was
in a wheelchair, right, And I walked up to the
parents and I did exactly what you would have done. Arthur,
if you're there, and I gave like cried.

Speaker 7 (32:49):
And I gave them life.

Speaker 9 (32:51):
I gave him a baglog and I said, I never
want this to happen to anyone else. And that was
his twin sister was there. She also was in a wheelchair.

Speaker 7 (32:59):
But I do want to that they delivered that child
back to the family unresponsive. So yeah, they just delivered
the baby, the boy and just said that, you know,
we don't know what's happening.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Just how many games have we working on Jersey?

Speaker 7 (33:14):
Oh, Jersey. Uh, the f A is four years now,
but that bill was in there before equal first date
was incorporated.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Yeah right, yeah. How long were you there that day?

Speaker 9 (33:26):
Oh that was a fun day.

Speaker 7 (33:27):
That was another.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
Fun, very difficult, difficult It was it was that was.

Speaker 9 (33:36):
I was. You know, the thing is, you know, I
just adore Tony and I think she's doing amazing work.
And so just the ability to thank you with yeah,
she's amazing. And that was what I loved was the
heartfelt testimony that came from Darren and Cannon. And he
actually has eight staves by the way, Darren, Yeah, he
shared that with us.

Speaker 7 (33:58):
Yeah, Garon Chambers amazing, amazing.

Speaker 9 (34:02):
But the challenge. I mean, I think when Tony and
I spent another twelve hours in New York City in
front of the city Hall and we met with the
amazing councilwoman Christy Mamorado and her chief of staff, April,
which they are movers and shakers. They do not fear opposition,
and Christy is driven by the fact that her grandfather

(34:25):
choked it up in a restaurant.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
But think about this too, and you're right.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
You need the right representative that gets what we're talking about,
that's willing to fight and not give up and not
ben and if there was a cause to do so
and to cross the aisle, yeah, kill someone, this would
be the case.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
But fight about a road bill, of course, whether it
put stops ons up, you want to fight, whatever you
want to do.

Speaker 9 (34:49):
Not that.

Speaker 7 (34:52):
There's twelve hundred, two thousand bills every session, so it
just we're just some number. So we need that representative
not to look at this as number.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Right, Yeah, but it just some of the kind of
casual way they were treating you. In Wisconsin. I had
a combination of anger and emotional draining, Like we just
heard four people talk about losing their child, you know,
as they in Pennsylvania school, Sam in Wisconsin school, the
Brugman's in a Wisconsin home.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Like how many how does that may have to die?

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Right?

Speaker 3 (35:25):
And you know five years one child? It's common happens
all the time. One hundred kids of tied in school.
You feel like they have no soul, right, It's not
like they're paying attention. They go, oh my god, we
need to do.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Something for a minute and think about the life.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Like checking their phone. Of course that this one when
mis consin, well, you know we we have it's sixty
nine dollars. You know you're spending gazillions of dollars on
all sorts of things. Have a car wash, bake sale,
click cans.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Or request one or how give it you?

Speaker 4 (35:58):
How's that that works too?

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Talking about the life bacle www dot lifeac dot net.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
Get your.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, my punkins just exploded again. He doesn't even let's
be honest, he doesn't even like talking about that day, right, But.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
That's yeah, I'm getting no, don't do it. Who's on
the line.

Speaker 7 (36:20):
I just want to add, you know how we're talking
about a champion representative So Pennsylvania with Isaiah and Steve Maddox,
the Maddox family. That bill went to a hearing. We
got to the hearing and our representative walked away from it.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Because that was another level of evil, right, that was
that kind.

Speaker 7 (36:37):
Of made me look at things a little differently. And
that's why if you're not going to give us the
time of day, if it's going to take four years,
we got to move on.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
So that's that's fine, but also pay but also misinformation
from from certain parties that may just have evil intentions.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
Well, think about it.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
It's a feather in your cap if you do this bill,
but if it gets a little rugged, you just walk away.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
You need someone like us. That's I'm away. I will
look in your window at night and scare you. And
you have done with yeah, yeah yeah, sleep on the
floor in front of.

Speaker 7 (37:09):
The representative and our attorneys here. I won't keep the
story too long, but the representative the day before, it
was even a weekend before the hearing, decided to walk
away because his colleague was a highly regarded emergency room physician.
He had opposition. So we were going back and forth
in this little match. But he said to me, after

(37:30):
working on it all these years, that basically they wouldn't
represent equal First Aid because they don't have enough wheelchair
students students in wheelchairs in their schools. And I had
to as he's talking to me, all you have to
do is google it, and I said, Representative, there's three
hundred and sixty four thousand wheelchair users in Pennsylvania and

(37:51):
there you know what in Pennsylvania. You know, like we
have to get him in all the schools and it's
just a match. And he's like, well, give me the
number of.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
Hard to even hear this. I want to go drive.

Speaker 7 (38:02):
Yeah, well we're going to we're going to get Pennsylvania.
We have to know about the opposition.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
But how ridiculous.

Speaker 7 (38:07):
It's horrible.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
And you know what, the federal law doesn't say.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
You know, you have to have equal opportunity facilities and
policing procedure.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
It's once in a while someone comes in. That's not
the way it works.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Because you got students, you got staff, you got faculty,
you got visitors, and you know they don't not open
the door so a child can get him in a
wheelchair until they have one.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
This is the way it works.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Plus the fact that the Red Cross recommends it when
protocol fails, and it does fail, and if it's not feasible,
so they cover both, meaning if the child fit regular
child chokes and it doesn't work, you can save them.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
And if there is a special needs child, whether it's.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
A scoliosis brace as simple as that, how many kids
in school have that.

Speaker 4 (38:54):
It doesn't have to be a wheelchair for the current
policing procedure.

Speaker 9 (38:59):
Not to be able to be The point is, like
my son wound up an acl chair, was in a
wheelchair because he was a football player.

Speaker 7 (39:05):
I mean, he was an atypical student.

Speaker 9 (39:07):
It wasn't like he was disabled anyway, but he wound
up in a wheelchair for a couple of weeks, so
you know, I mean, it happens all the time. I
think what I was the most disturbed about in that
whole New York City Council thing is the fact that
they literally, in the very beginning, the councilwoman said, is
there any opposition to the bill that I'm introducing? No opposition.

(39:28):
The Chancellor of New York City Schools was there, her
first chancellor. All of them are sitting at a table.
Four hours Tony and I sat there waiting to testify.
Then we get up there and of course there's opposition right,
So I had to address the animal in the room,
which is, well, until it's FDA approved, we just don't
feel comfortable implementing it.

Speaker 7 (39:48):
So you're just going to let children die.

Speaker 9 (39:51):
And on the line was fifteen of our advocates waiting
all that time to be able to zoom in right.
One of them happened to be our friend, and Vivian Fitzgerald,
who is a Department of Education employee, was sitting with
her superintendent of her school district, waiting to testify for
four and a half hours. Okay, So to me, that's

(40:13):
what I felt was not.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
Right, and it's so disrespectful, you know.

Speaker 9 (40:18):
And because all of them waited, I mean, Jen Glenn,
I mean Ray his heart fault life, they just in
there are Steen, fifteen of them, fifteen of them. And
then we had two people sitting next to us who
were complete strangers, also supporting the bell because they were
Eric Eric Bryan Ricks.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
Oh my god. But think about this too. This isn't
for them.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
They just don't want either to happen, or they know,
like Jen or and some of the people that had
to say Ray Ray, could Bailey get through the story
without breaking down because we are so grateful that he
has his child because of it. But in the real world,
that's so powerful. They're not promoting a person. We're not
trying to get the EMPI pen every year because it's

(41:02):
good and it's a pharmaceutical drug.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
I don't know who was there to represent for the
EPI pen.

Speaker 9 (41:07):
But and stops and every time it got done, all
these things getting done. But Vivian her statement was, I
am a teacher. I wouldn't be here if that incident
happened while I was in the school. I had that
life back at my home and I used it to
save my own life. And my son performed the abdominal

(41:27):
thrust and it didn't work. And Vivian, who I've known
for over twenty years, I can't even imagine her not
being here right, And the idea that her testimony and
every testimony was very powerful. Kim, you know Chambers, Darren Chambers,
and they cut Darren off literally, you know, after that
three minute mark. So I think it wasn't anything that

(41:50):
our councilwoman, who was very passionate and amazing, she said,
I don't agree with the way that they handled it,
and we don't condone that kind of behavior. We're very sorry, Hidi.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Everything's moving though, right, Things are moving positive because I
was thinking, you know, when we hear it, as long
as it's not a smoke screen, you have concerns. Welcome it,
you know, welcome it. Questions about training, questions about implementation,
even questions about what the FDA thinks the heart register.

Speaker 7 (42:15):
What was heartbreaking? It was you say, four or five hours.
I don't know if we got on until six o'clock.
But Heidi and I were the only two left in
the room. So now and then there's two councils people left.
We would watch them pack their backpacks, close their name
down and walk out. And at one point, so at
one point, and I'm sorry for Ray, but we couldn't

(42:36):
see the waiting room. But when Ray was speaking, it's
very very touching, but the council did not pay attention
to his testimony, and we were blown away, and the
officer in arms actually tried to get their attention to
cut it out. So the two women were, you know,
leaning into each other, scrolling on their phone, laughing, and

(42:57):
he tried not about our testimony but just about just
whatever they were doing. So at the end, Tidy said,
you know, should we be staying here? And I said, whoa,
we have fifteen people that have been waiting all day.
Obviously you know we're gonna wait for everybody's testimony. But
at the end, when they said, you know, boom meeting
is over, I went up to them and just said,
you know, how are you going to vote? Like, how

(43:20):
will you know all the support? Oh, well, it's online,
it's taped, we'll listen to it back. But to me,
you're having a hearing for all New York City schools
to have airway clearance devices. But in New York City,
they want to life back in every single school. And
then if she gets re elected, she would love to
see it in every restaurant. But the people that we

(43:41):
were before were disrespectful and all I hear is well,
welcome to New York. We see it every day, and
that was just heartbreaking.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
But when I see too, you know, there's three hundred,
one hundred bills. What is the thermometer? This is for
kids to be alive in school? Now, that should be
up there in New York.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
I remember the last time it was a big thing
that the dead bugs on Mattresses law passed, and I'm like.

Speaker 4 (44:05):
All right, that's great.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
I take care of the bugs.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
I don't really care, yeah, because I don't know if
the laws get Diana Price.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
But I think children being alive in school, particularly those
with disabilities, should be kind of up there on the
top of the critical to talk about. That should be
the first building talk about.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Absolutely, We've been talking with Heidi Felix, Tony Labate, Arthur
Lee of course, and I'm Afraturab'll be back with more

Speaker 3 (48:12):
Wow.

Speaker 10 (48:12):
All right, Well, I'm going to run into the highlight
of the week because that is a good one, folks.
And it's right here in my home state. It's only
about an hour away. Naples, Florida, and eighty nine year
old man from Naples was choking on a piece of steak.
My parents and I live in the same house. My
mother came over to my side of the house to
tell me that my father was choking. I ran to

(48:34):
him and immediately got my life back. His face and
hands were turning blue. My knew time was of the essence.
My mom called nine one one and I started the Heimlech.
I used the life back device twice and the state
was dislodged, and he regained his color back. Our great
first responders arrived and took his vitals. I purchased the

(48:57):
life back as a precautionary measure to have in case
anyone in my family or household would ever have an
issue requiring it. I'm thankful to life Back and God
that my father is Okay. There you go, folks on
another state for life back.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
Hey, Ray, did you did you see the video the
guy we met when we were out motorcycling that.

Speaker 10 (49:19):
We just did not see that video.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Oh my god, it just it's we all get that.
Oh my goodness, what an amazing moment feeling.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
But we ran into him. He worked there, he was
out back, and he came in. He was like, thank you,
it saved my life, you know, three times times, and wow.
You always get the emotion when you tell your story,
and I appreciate it. It makes it so sincere. And
that just that same feeling of he was turning blue
and someone's saying like when they write the little paragraph

(49:49):
like that you really feel it. And when that guy
told me, we just cried up and uh, but we
got missed three thousand and keep us in line here
and give us those up.

Speaker 10 (50:00):
Far better to have it and never need it than
need it and never have it. A life you save
could be your.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Own, mister Ray Preedy, mister three thousand, godspeed that guy.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
Awesome, he's the best.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
We got to start a real pool for five thousand,
real Yeah, early, get on DraftKings.

Speaker 5 (50:16):
No, we wanted to do four thousand, but I was
picking like Thanksgiving, that's way past already.

Speaker 4 (50:21):
I picked way past it too. It happened like a
ten day.

Speaker 5 (50:24):
We're averaging like seventy sixty seventy a week, so it's
not gonna be that far.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
Well, let's start. Let's get that formula five thousand.

Speaker 10 (51:02):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (51:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
What always bugged me is, you know, this opinion on
everything and having done nothing, you know, and it goes
into the kind of opening thoughts for today.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
You know, we just did this insane motorcycle trip, right.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Insane is a good good word alive.

Speaker 4 (51:22):
Yes, I did. I followed it on Facebook. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
So but you know, throughout that there's always something gurgling
in my head, you know, and your teeth.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
Yeah, frocks, but there was some.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
Rocks importance to the helmet.

Speaker 4 (51:37):
Yeah. But the thought was, you know, we had to
fly in, we had to drive five hours. You know,
you're in the sweat, dirt. It's not easy, you know.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
And then you're you're going through seventy and you're on
top of a mountain looking out at this incredible country
and world and God. And it circulated to me.

Speaker 4 (51:57):
It goes back. I think it was talking to you
about skiing.

Speaker 9 (51:59):
Right.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
It's pain in.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
You're tired, you kids are crying, it's heavy, it's cold,
it's a freezing any you take a run with your
family and you get that feeling and you're on top
of the mountain. But in a micro sense, things that
are hard are great, right, Like if you think about
how hard Life Act has been. We saved ten lives today.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Okay, that's okay for a run of a loss.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
We have a flap that the audience is not good.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
They're busting.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
They're busting people earning a lot of peanut butter today.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
They've almost gotten used to it, but we never can.
As you look at the details of some of the
lives saved, it becomes more than just the number. So
I think, well, we should talk about what's coming up
in the coming weeks because I think there's a there
has been a lot of excitement around certainly around this
bill hbe more important the Western Brian Mandrill Act, Western

(52:50):
Brian Mandrell Act, and the Western Brian Mandrell Foundation in
any of.

Speaker 3 (52:54):
The end of kids choking and death from school in
our hopefully God willing, in the next year, we get
him in those schools and we never have a kid choking.
It never have one hundred kids. I am on my
wall one hundred names, and.

Speaker 2 (53:07):
The State of Texas kicked us off. Tony an equal
First Aid is involved in thirteen other states. And these
other states, let's get in touch with your state. Senator
Tony Libate at equal First, daid dot com. Get in
touch with Tony, help us legislate, help us and help school.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
Help the kids disabilities who know no politics.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
And that's about it. That's about any parting words.

Speaker 4 (53:28):
Remember their names, you know, I'm serious with the kids.
Oh man, that's a good point.
