Speaker 1 (00:06):
The Jay's on the brink of clinching the World Series.
The President wants to test nukes. I'm Kate Delaney. That's
where we're headed during this show. But first we kick
it off with a rundown on atn So we start
with the Federal Reserve Chairman and the fact that the
(00:29):
big meeting on Wednesday didn't disappoint. A lot of people
were hoping for a cut, and a cut is exactly
what they got from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Here he is today.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
The Federal Open Market Committee decided to lower our policy
interest rate by a quarter percentage point.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, that's big news, not as much as maybe some
had hoped, but it will help ease the pain, especially
on loans. He did hint that there may not be
any other cut, so we'll have to wait to twenty
twenty six, and that kind of left the marketsh in
a little bit of flux. Meanwhile, everything is upside down
(01:09):
in Montego Bay, Jamaica and other parts of Jamaica. At
least two hundred and forty one communities isolated and without communications,
certainly during the storm as it swept across the Santiago
Province and There were so many people affected by this.
Once the daylight hit you could see the damage where
(01:29):
roofs were turned upside down and down the street. Think
about one hundred and eighty five mile an hour winds.
At least thirty people have died as a result of
Melissa roaring through it, moved on from Jamaica and then
went on to Cuba. There were plenty of American tourists there,
(01:50):
honeymooners and others. Alicia White was one of them. She
talked about surviving the six hours of this massive hurricane,
but feeling like the resort where she was really did
their job.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
We feel safe. Our resource Death has made sure that
we feel safe throughout this entire experience. They were outside
during a hurricane making sure that anything that was being
damaged they were fixing it. Anyone's rooms who glass shattered
or their roofs caves in, they made sure they've changed
their rooms. Everything has been amazing here at our resort,
(02:24):
and we're staying at Deja All Inclusive Resort in Montego Bay,
right on the Hip Street.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
On the Hip Street, it's a fun place to go.
Not so fun right now. It is ripped up and
full of mud. We moved from there to the government
shut down and continues to roll on going intoday thirty
and the big conversation is about the food and food
in security with SNAP benefits that will end on November first.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Here's what the press said.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
When he was back on Air Force one that this
Asia trip to go to meet with President she in China.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
The Democrats have cause the problem on food stamps if
of course, all they have to do is sign.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
And they won't sign. And because of that, there are
others like California a g. Rob Banta who says they
can fund SNAP. The government can, but they just won't
do it. So we're suing.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
They have the legal requirement, a legal imperative, not to
mention a moral imperative, but legally they are required under
the SNAP Act to move the funds in the contingency
fund out onto the street to help hungry children, seniors, veterans,
disabled eat. The language is a shall language that says
(03:49):
the money shall be used to ensure the necessary operations
of the SNAP program.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
All right, So Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, that's of course
what SNAP stands for. It helps forty two million Americans
buy food.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I've talked about this already, but there.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Are pantries that are trying to do everything they can,
and there are some restaurants that are also trying to
pitch in as well, But that deadline is there. The
deadline not only affects snap, but as you know, it
affects the pay of so many who are deemed essential
and they're working and they're not getting paid, including everybody
talks about this, the air traffic controllers and many in
(04:30):
the military. Senate Majority Leader John Thuns said during the
day that talks among rank and file senators have ticked
up a little bit and that the conversation might be
a precursor of things to come. Not everybody was as optimistic.
Republican Senator Tom Tillis from North Carolina said he hasn't
seen any evidence that talks have progressed to formal negotiations
(04:50):
that could actually end.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
The stale mate.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Republican Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina through in his
two cents, he said he hoped the shutdown could end
next week. He would do what he could, but there
is no real signs of progress at this point. What
is the contingency And the answer is, right now, there
is no contingency. All right, it's about US China relations.
(05:15):
So our President Trump and President She met for the
first time in six years. The world is watching. What
will happen with this crippling trade war? What will happen next?
So they posed for the pictures, had the warm smiles.
They offered remarks as their talks were continuing again, like
(05:37):
I said, face to face got underway at an air
base in the coastal city of Busan, near to where
an international summit is taking place. The president praise she
is the great leader of a great country, and he
said he thought the two were going to have a
fantastic relationship for a.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Long period of time.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
The Chinese leader said it was a great pleasure to
see Trump after many years.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
He said, we do not always see I to eye with.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Each other, and its normal for the two leading economies
of the world to have frictions. Now and then, you
and I are at the helm of China relations US relations.
We should stay the right course, adding that the two
nations could prosper together. And when I said the world
is watching closely. We want to see what happens, of
(06:22):
course with trade, I mean this is the end of
the President's five day, three country visit to Asia. And
at the middle of this is the tensions over this
gaping trade imbalance and efforts from the US to ensure
its national security, our national security against an increasingly assertive China,
(06:44):
for example, including by expanding restrictions on China's access to
American high tech. Boy, don't we know that like advanced
semiconductors that of course are needed to power what's the number.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
One thing everybody's talking about in the world, A I so.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
On the table at this meeting are a range of
really kind of one would describe Thorny I guess issues
Harry Carey issues including tariffs, trade imbalance, China's sweeping export
controls on rare earths, US restrictions on Chinese access to
(07:22):
American high tech, and China's role in the illicit fetanyl trade.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
That's one thing the.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
President's brought over again, brought up rather again and again
and again. China's purchases of American soybeans, the future in
the US of the popular media app social media app TikTok,
the war in Ukraine as well as Taiwan. All of
that is part of what is happening in this conversation
(07:49):
that is underway. What will come of it, we'll see.
But again, there is a lot of things to talk about.
Certainly there are things that we've talked about on the
show with other people, other ex and front inn R
two cents too, especially when it comes to obviously the terroriffs,
obviously security, obviously, things with farmers, especially soybeans.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
That's a very very big.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Concern I know to many of you listening in this audience.
All right, shocking to some but not shocking to others. Hey,
the blue Jays are for real after seeing what happened
in that exciting eighteen inning game where the Dodgers won.
The Blue Jays were dominant and beat the Dodgers in
(08:39):
LA with a crowd pretty much silence.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Six 't one.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They lead the series three too, It ships back to
Canada and they could.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Win the World Series. Meet you on the Deeper Dive next.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard
joining meta share can save you or your family up
to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge. But
it's also true people are just happier with it. They
love being part of something that reflects and promotes their
values and what they believe in. Meda Share works too.
(09:14):
It's been around for thirty years now and members have
shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
I were going to go deep on the president of
this country, President Trump, and his meeting finishing off, as
I said, his trip in Asia, this time meeting with
China's main leader. Of course she I'm Kate Delaney, and
that's how we roll here on the platform. As we
dive in deeper, there than a couple of quick hits
(12:26):
for you that are pretty significant going on around the country.
Questions we're asking ourselves. So the President said he wanted
to test nuclear weapons, and this was before he stepped
off the plane to the Air Force base and shook
hands with she and did the photo op thing, and
everything has been laid out of the potential track and
(12:48):
course that this discourse could take. So I wonder if
that sends any kind of a pall over that meeting whatsoever.
When you hear that, for the first time in how
many years, we're going to start testing nuclear weapons, how
does that make you feel? And the reason the President
said on Thursday morning that he directed the Pentagon to
(13:09):
do so was because we needed to be on an
equal basis with Russia and China, and that certainly inserts
nuclear issues into this discussion. One of the things that
I didn't throw out there, but it is high on
the table at this high stakes trade summit. It's not
(13:30):
just about the tariffs and about the economies. It is
about the future of our future. Because I was not
a duck and cover child. You might have been a
duck and cover child. If you're listening to us and
you're in the older demographic in this audience than younger demographic,
(13:51):
you might not even know what that is. I know
what it is, but I was not part of that generation.
But I certainly have talk to people who talk about
the real fear that people had about the idea that
there could be nuclear proliferation. So this announcement is definitely
(14:11):
a reversal of decades of US nuclear policy and will
it have far reaching consequences for our relationships with US
adversaries even now. On truth Social, which is where the
President reveals most details of the things he's thinking about
are things that actually end up happening, was about what
(14:35):
the test would entail. The last nuclear weapons test in
the United States, I'm glad you asked, was in nineteen
ninety two, before President George HW. Bush believe it or not,
implemented a moratorium on those exercises at the conclusion of
the Cold War.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
The White House hasn't really.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Had many comments about what the nuclear weapons testing would involve.
The President said he would direct the Department of War
to conduct the tests, but the Department of Energy is
responsible for nuclear testing. So on truth Social, he said
that the process would begin immediately and was in response
to other countries testing programs. Russia on Wednesday. This was
(15:19):
again one of the reasons why announced that it had
successfully tested, because that's what Russia does best, right They
like to tell us what they've done afterwards, and they
announced that they have successfully tested some nukes. So when
you hear that coming from Moscow, does it make you think, Okay,
(15:44):
they've done a nuclear powered super specifically torpedo called Poseidon,
and they praised the successful test of the nuclear powered
cruise missile just three days before.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
But Putin has abstained.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
From testing a nuclear weapon or carrying out a nuclear detonation.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Of course, so far.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
During the first Trump administration, there was discussions about conducting
a nuclear test explosion in twenty twenty, but that didn't happen,
and demonstrating that the United States could conduct a test
they thought would be useful as far as negotiating with
Beijing and Moscow, that was the thought. But you know,
(16:29):
he is the peace president, and I really believe he
is not.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He is not a warmonger.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I really believe that he doesn't want to see people killed,
and that is at the core of the whole idea
of I'm the peace President, and that is the push
in the campaign, as you know, is is I think
is to soothe tensions and to soothe tensions with you know,
China and Russia too. So this nuclear testing announcement, I
(16:59):
think alarmed lot of people, a lot of arms control
experts who think it's escalatory and unnecessary. In fact, I
was reading something from a guy named Darryl Kimball, executive
director of the Arms Control Association, So again you know
what direction that's going, but who said the United States
has no technical, military, or political reason to resume a
(17:22):
nuclear explosive testing and said that the nuclear the National
Nuclear Security Administration, the federal agency of course that oversees testing,
was not even equipped to immediately restart testing and that
it would need at least thirty six months, wow, thirty
six months to resume contained nuclear test underground at the
former test site in Nevada. Now that was something that
(17:45):
made me think twice, we need thirty six months to
resume a contained nuclear test. So what if we had
to fire nukes, which nobody would want, would we be prepared?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Are we ready to do that? The vast majority of.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
The agencies, by the way, employees are furloughed because of
the government shutdown. In contrast to past government funding lapses,
the workers were deemed essential to government operations. So the
idea that we're going to test, we don't even have
the people that normally are there to test because they're
not there.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
They're fur load.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
And now it's interesting because it does raise the issue
with China because guess what they've done. They have, as
we know, significantly increase their nuclear weapons stockpiles over the
last couple of years, with independent analysts saying it's probably
among the most rapid modernization campaigns. It's certainly the largest
(18:51):
of how many countries have nuclear weapons? If I were
testing you, that would be nine nine countries. And the
President said that Beijing is currently a distant third in
its number of nuclear weapons to Russia in the United States,
but that'll actually be even in five years. What does
our Department of Defense say? They estimated last year that
(19:13):
China will surpass I remember talking about this on the
air one thousand warheads by twenty thirty. But that's still
a number that's considerably behind the US and Russia, which
the estimates there are between thirty seven hundred and forty
three hundred, respectively. So here's just a little more food
(19:37):
for thought. There have been two thousand nuclear test explosions
around the world since nineteen forty five. Most countries stopped
doing that in the nineties. China's last nuclear explosion happened
in ninety six, Moscows was in nineteen ninety when, really,
let's face it, the Soviet.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Union was dying on the vine.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Of course, the rare exception is you know who, if
you were thinking Kim Jong un, give yourself one hundred points.
That was the rare exception conducted by North Korea in
twenty seventeen. So a lot of nations, including our country, Russia,
and China, are signatories to the nineteen ninety six Comprehensive
(20:22):
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which prohibits any nuclear test explosion
or any other nuclear explosion. The treaty never went into
effect because several key countries, including the US, didn't ratify it.
So what do you think, America? Should we dust it
off and have it ready, use it as the threat
(20:44):
of hey, if you're thinking about testing and you are
upping the stockpiles, just to let you know we're ready.
A couple of quickies for you from the flight mare category.
I hate hearing these stories. A passenger law a laptop
and guess what happened. It had forced a United flight
to turn around. A flight from northern Virginia to Rome
(21:05):
had to turn around near the US coast after the
passenger dropped the laptop and couldn't retrieve it. And why
do you think that is? Think of the batteries, Lithium
ion batteries. Disastrous, right, So the airline released a statement
saying that the commuter computer rather had fallen behind a
cabin wall panel through a small gap leading to the
cargo hold, and the pilots had a divert back to
(21:30):
Washington Dulles International Airport because they couldn't take a risk.
They had to do it as a precaution. They had
a conversation with air traffic controllers in Boston. One of
the pilots on flight one twenty six described the incident
as a minor situation with the laptop which was turned
on yikes when it fell into the cargo area. The
plane was give or take southeast of Boston when it
(21:54):
had to turn back because they didn't know the status
of it. They couldn't access then see it. They had
to turn around and find the laptop before they could
continue over the ocean. The pilot said he wasn't declaring
an emergency and didn't need special services at the airport.
He made the call out of an abundance of caution
(22:15):
because the battery would be in an area of the
Boeing seven sixty seven that wasn't near a fire suppression system.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Isn't that just crazy?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Imagine you're a passenger and you're cruising along and whoops,
were being diverted. It's not an emergency and we'll be
on our way once we retrieve a laptop that could
catch on fire in the cargo area.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Oh, for your health next, So here we.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Are for your health, and this is exciting. There's the
first ever non surgical treatment that's been approved for a
rare HPV associated disease, and he certainly would bring new
hope for adults who are living with what's called r
P again our RP. So joining us is doctor Simon Best,
he's an associate professor John Hopkins School of Medicine. And
(23:27):
the Reverend doctor Lorenzo Smalls, who's a pastor who is
diagnosed with rr FP, and we're glad to have them
both on the show. Thanks for coming on, Thank you,
Thank you, doctor Bess. Let's start with you. What is
our RP and how does it affect patients like the Reverend?
Speaker 11 (23:47):
Well, absolutely, we're excited to be here on behalf of
Presagen to discuss our RP or recurrent respiratory papalomatosis. As
you said, this is an HPV associated disease caused by
the HBB types six and eleven. These affect the vocal
cords in the airway, so they cause these recurring papalomas
(24:09):
that grow on the vocal cords and thus interfere with
our voice and breathing. Historically, the only way that this
was treated was with surgery, so we would take patients
to the operating room, use lasers or other instruments to
remove the papalomas. But because the underlying infection is still there,
the papolomas would recur, and so patients would be in
(24:30):
an unending cycle of surgery and recurrence. Surgery and recurrence.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Wow, an unending cycle. Just thinking of processing that, Reverend,
for you, can you share your personal experience living with
our key and how it impacted your life?
Speaker 12 (24:50):
Uh? It infected my life dramatically being a preacher pastor
over thirty years, and of course my voice was everything
from singing, counseling, preaching outside of the country.
Speaker 13 (25:07):
It was everything. And when my voice left, it left
me in despair. Psychologically, I was a shadow of a man.
Faith cometh by hearing. But what happens when you can't
hear the preacher? So my life was in a dismal
of just being depressed and not being able to vocalize.
(25:31):
So I am happy to be a part of the
clinical trial and to be able to have my voice back.
I'm like a little child at Christmas. I am excited.
I am truly excited.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Wow, we can hear that in your voice. That's wonderful.
So you know, doc, take us through this. How does
this new treatment work compared with, like you mentioned at
the top, that cycle the repeated surgeries.
Speaker 11 (25:54):
Well, HPV infections are actually quite common and for the
vast majority of people that encounter the virus, the immune
system is able to recognize it and clear away that infection.
The patients with RP, their immune system has a little
bit of a blind spot. It hasn't recognized that that
virus is there. So pabzimios has approved for adults with
(26:15):
our RP, and it's a series of injections that is
designed to boost the immune system, essentially direct the immune
system like immunotherapy that is direct in the immune system
to actually identify and target cells that have that HPV
virus and thus address the cause of our RP right
at its root.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Wow. And you know, Reverend you said this, you said
it's you're like a child at Christmas. What does it
meant to you to daily to participate in the clinical
trial and see that this new treatment, here's the other
part of this can help other people because it's been improved.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
To me, it was an array of hope that being
a part of the clinical trial and the idea that
my voice could return, I was excited, and I want
to share with those that suffering with our RP that
I am thankful. I am so thankful for the approval
(27:15):
of the press ZIMMO and that those that have lost
their voice because of our r P there is now hope.
So I just hope that they can go to President
dot com and receive the information because now there is
(27:36):
hope and they don't have to continue with the reoccuring surgery.
So I'm excited, and I'm excited for those who didn't
have hope. Now there is hope.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Perfect place to end this, doctor best, thank you so much,
and also Reverend Small's continued success with that and thank.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
You, thank you, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Well, I can't even imagine listening to him talk about that,
and like you said, he's a reverend and not having
his voice, and they talk about the signs. If you
develop this infection and you have difficulty breathing and a
rash and facial swelling and shortness of breath and all
of that blurred vision, that could be a sign of it.
But the fact that you could not have to do
(28:21):
the surgery, that is huge, significant breakthrough. All Right, we
go to some ubi's quickly, this one on the silly side.
There's a new favorite shoe out there for the people
who have disposable income Zegna. They have a triple stitch
is what it's called, and it will cost you anywhere
(28:41):
from one thousand dollars really fifteen hundred to four thousand dollars.
It's called the Minimist Men's Luxury sneaker, and it's popular
among financial types in Manhattan. Also with Apple CEO him Cook, well,
he has money to burn. So they're supposedly very comfortable.
(29:04):
They come in thirty colors and they can be easily
dressed up or down depending on your outfit. Anyone think
that that's kind of ridiculous and the money.
Speaker 14 (29:12):
Money many many, many mony many money money.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, category, okay, would you really drop the money you
would pay for your mortgage or rent? Maybe for some
people on sneakers. That's why did you hear what I
said at the beginning? Luxury sneaker popular among finance types.
I wonder how comfortable they are, though, I'm curious about
that because they really emphasize the comfort fact. But when
(29:37):
they get worn out, I mean, look, your feet's your feet,
You're rocking on the pavement, the dirty pavement in Manhattan.
I mean, it's gonna get worn down. You're gonna wear
down those souls. I'm just kind of, you know, thinking
out loud. Let's put it that way, all right. The
Fed that's the other ubi. What does the FED rate
cut mean for credit cards, mortgages, a loan, student debt,
(30:01):
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
When you think about.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
The fact that this is the second time in a
row it's been cut by this time twenty five basis points,
and it will have a little bit of a ripple effect.
Some of it not as significant as you would think.
Like you look at credit cards, they're at an all
time high, averaging more than twenty percent. And then you
look at what the APR is and so if you
(30:25):
have an APR let's say the average is twenty four,
which is pretty high, zero point nineteen percent, and you
had seven thousand in credit card debt, you paid two
to fifty a month on the balance, you would lower
the APR by a quarter point. It would save you
about sixty one bucks over the lifetime of the loan.
I mean, hey, it's something, but it's not amazing. Mortgages
could be a little bit different fifteen or thirty year
(30:46):
mortgage rates because they're closely tied to what we call
the treasury yields and of course the economy. So if
you're a home buyer, you could definitely benefit for the
future because we could see that number come down. So
there could be a tangible opportunity there, I would think
by that reduction. So, for example, if you were trying
(31:08):
to secure a mortgage three hundred and fifty thousand, let's say,
and the interest rate was six point seventy five the
interest rate, you could see the monthly payment fall by
like one hundred and fifty dollars. That's significant over the
course of time, so you would see it there. Auto loans,
that's pretty significant for a lot of people. But now
we know the average cost of a brand new car
(31:30):
is fifty thousand dollars, and auto loans, like most mortgages,
are fixed for the life of the loan, so there's
that part of it. So it might not drastically lower
monthly payments in a high rate, high price environment, but
confidence wise, it makes you feel a little better because
(31:51):
you hear that. And student loans, those rates are fixed too,
so the rate for new loans only resets once a
year on July first, So most bars really immediately feel that,
although it could have a little bit of an impact
as you go further down the lane for savers savings
savings rates, it's you know, you got to take that
on yourself because the Central Bank doesn't have any influence.
(32:15):
Sometimes people think that on deposit rates, they do not
have any kind of really kind of a bump on that.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
So that's where it stands.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Now, what will be interesting in the hint was it
probably won't happen, but will there be a cut in December?
That would make a big difference if there was another
cut in December, but there's no indication. In fact, the
indication is kind of that there won't be another cut.
If there was another cut, then you would see another jump,
especially with the mortgages. That's where you would really really
(32:46):
feel it. By the way, the meeting with President she
as I understand, was an hour and forty minutes and
it just wrapped up just a not too long ago.
They had the big photo op that I talked about,
shook the hands. Did all of that coming out of it?
What do we know? Just that it seemed conciliatory. Of
(33:08):
course it would be, But is there going to be
any success walking away from it? That's the part we
you know, That's the part we don't know. They of
course are asked would finalize a trade deal at the meeting,
and the President sad going into it. It could be
that we have a great understanding, but there was nothing
coming out of it to.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Say, Okay, this is absolutely happened. Although those are things that.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Will probably drip out in the hours to come and
maybe the days to come, it could be it could
be further down the line, because there was a lot
of things that were quickly that were quickly hit upon,
especially the whole trade deal, but not just that. A
handful of things that I talked about at the beginning
of the hour. That included you know, the TikTok and
(33:55):
the divestiture from you know, Beijing's based parent company to
a US back company, tariffs and tech curbs, and rare earths,
especially as the rare earth's minerals are important. That was
on the table for discussion too. I mean a lot
of things. So what do you get through in one
hour with translators? One hour and forty minutes? That that's
(34:20):
what you got to think about, all right?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I love what's coming up next?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Think about this growing another generation of leaders the nation's
premier youth ag organization.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
What would that be ffa?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Think about that future farmers of America that's coming up
around the bend.
Speaker 15 (34:42):
Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
Speaker 13 (34:46):
Yes?
Speaker 15 (34:47):
Actually three known gas is hi, I'm doctor Mitch, and
nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,
oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
(35:10):
age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
your hands and feet well. Our product Ultimate nitric Oxide
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

Speaker 1 (38:02):
All right, so I'm so excited that we are going
to take you to the ninety eighth National FFA Convention
and Expo. It had such an impact on so many
of the lives around me, and it's about growing the
next generation of leaders. How the nation's premier youth agriculture
organization is preparing students for the future. And what's really
(38:23):
cool is through a three point nine million dollar three
year investment that John Deer Foundation is helping the FFA
reach more students and strength and leadership development across the communities. Wow,
sounds so good. So in our virtual green room we
have Alex Davis, quality engineer for John Deere and a
(38:43):
Duena Chen who is a student who benefited. So welcome
both to the show.
Speaker 13 (38:49):
That's good to be here.
Speaker 17 (38:50):
Thank you for having us.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Yes, absolutely so, Alex, let's talk about this. I mentioned this.
You're joining us from the ninety eighth annual FFA Convention
and Expo in Indianapolis. Tell us about the event and
what visitors and participants can expect when they're there.
Speaker 13 (39:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 17 (39:05):
So this is I think my seventh, the six or
seven time being here. You mentioned came as a student
and now here on the corporate side. Every year it's
a great opportunity to come back and see the future
of agriculture, see the leaders that are going to be
in our industry, both for students that are the students
that are currently in the Blue jackets, as well as
(39:26):
those around the country, those corporate partners that want to
help invest in the future of agriculture. It's a great
opportunity for students to learn more about their opportunities or
their their their findings outside of the classroom, what they
can do after college, after after high school, as well
as they can learn more about what is available within
(39:49):
f f A through different workshops and sessions that they
can develop their skills and talents for to take back
home to their classrooms.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Nice. What do the letters f f A stand for?
There might be people maybe one or two, because I
think a lot of people know, But what do they
stand for? And how has the organization evolved over the years?
Speaker 7 (40:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Absolutely so.
Speaker 18 (40:09):
When the FFA was formed, it was it stood for
the Future Farmers of America. But to this day it
now stands for the National FFA Organization. And the reason
behind that is because you know, our culture is such
a diverse and broad industry that continues to evolve and
hit all the different niches in like for all different people,
(40:32):
so everyone can find a home and a place and
impact within our culture. So that is why we, you know,
change that branding for the past, I think like twenty
years now. I think it changed in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Yeah, I love your explanation. So true, so diverse. Where
do you think of DWEENA your FFA experience will take
you after high school? Yeah?
Speaker 18 (40:54):
So right now, I'm actually a sophomore in college studying
pre veterinarian medicine with the University of Delaware.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Nice, so kind of see a little bit into the future.
Speaker 18 (41:04):
But freshman year, I took a zoom class animal science
because it was like COVID, and that has carried throughout
my whole high school journey, Like completed my animal science
pathway and competed in various competitions within the FFA that
helped develop my soft skills and hard skills. That like
(41:24):
was what I was interested in, and that has pushed
me into being very successful in university and all like
the different areas of knowledge I have to know, whether
that be you know, talking to clients like in the
that field, or you know, learning how to study all
the all the amazing little things that we have to
do within veterinarian medicine.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Nice go Blue Hens by the way, thank you, thank you,
great program. They're lucky to have you. Alex. What advice
would you give to students or parents who might be
interested in the program? How can they get involved?
Speaker 17 (41:58):
I would say, reach out to your local chapters. You
can go to f FA dot org and a find
out more about the national the FFA National Convention here
in Indianapolis, but then b find out more about your
local chapters. There's a great great finder there, Chapter Finder,
where you can reach out to those local local high
schools in middle schools in your area to volunteer both
(42:20):
your time and talent to be able to help those
students out, help those advisors out, because I mean it's
it's anything from judging speeches and working with students on
how to better around a meeting, how to how to
speak in public, how to prepare them for opportunities in
the classroom and in those competitions as well as in
those posts high school opportunities.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yeah, doueen it for you. What's it like to be
there in Indianapolis. I mean, that's one of the best
places to.
Speaker 18 (42:45):
Be absolutely it was over the past few years. This
is my fifth national conventions. I'm very blessed to like
be here, but usually it's now. So this is like
the best leather we've ever had. So I am living
the dream. But in indeed you just see the sea
of blue and you like really live in the moment.
And that's something that I feel like all of us
(43:05):
could work on, is living in the moment. And FFA
just does it for me, Like you have all these people,
not only people that share the same interests as you,
but people with different stories that you get to learn
more about and realize, Like this world it is like
such a small place, but it's like so vast and
full of endless opportunities. So it's always like so enlightening,
(43:26):
so and powerful.
Speaker 17 (43:26):
And you can't escape the blue jackets.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Well, you both painted such a great picture. Al Alex again,
where can the listeners go for more information?
Speaker 17 (43:37):
FFA dot org is the best place to go find
out more about the National FFA organization. The National FFA
can mentioned here in Indianapolis, as well as your local
chapters and great opportunities for partnerships like the one that
John de your head and you mentioned with both our
partnership with National EFFA and as well as those local
(43:57):
and state level partnerships.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Wow, I enjoined it. Alex intodweena, thanks, thank you, thank
you so much. A couple of thoughts before we exit
from this hour one. I mentioned it at the top.
The Blue Jays one win away from winning the World Series.
They beat the Dodgers six' one Trey Ya Savage fan.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Twelve he was so.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
DOMINANT i watched a big chunk of that game with The,
hubs and he. Did he took them all, out all
the big hitters. Show heo Tani on down and that
was a big reason for that. Win, pitching, pitching pitching.
Right and so now the defending champs are on the.
Ropes it switches To toronto if they do win the next,
(44:39):
game then we got a game. SEVEN i thought it
would be. SIX i said it would be, six BUT
i thought that The dodgers would eke it. Out and,
said if you remember on the, show That toronto had a,
Chance AND i thought they had a chance because they're
kind of that motley team player attitude crew that everybody chips.
In but so are The, dodgers even though some people,
(45:00):
think oh la, polish but not the players. Themselves if
you think of the way the players really went out
at gutsy in that eighteen inning extra frame, win which
The Blue jays did. Too it showed you what both
of those teams are made. Of so it's actually been
a really interesting. Series i'll be curious when it's all
said and done what the ratings, are and of course
(45:22):
we'll have that for. YOU i want to see the
whole series laid out so we know if people are
paying attention or, hey it's not my team and. Baseball
we got football and other things that if we're sports,
fans that.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
We're paying attention.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
To i'm just, saying but speaking of a baseball note
for The minnesota, Too i'm going to throw this. In
Derek shelton returns to The twins as the. Manager, supposedly
so The twins are hiring the Former Pittsburgh pirates manager
to be the team's new. Manager he was fired from
The pirates On may eighth as they quickly slipped into
(45:57):
last place in The National League, central so this is
a big. Move he at fifty, five was the bench
coach for The twins in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen
under two different. Managers sometimes when you move from a
familiar you move back from a place and back into
(46:19):
familiar territory and just shaking things up can really really.
Help i've heard great things about him though in my
travels of interviewing people and. WHATNOT i never met, him
but it is a change in that, position obviously for
The twins who were disappointed in their. Season, meanwhile Also
(46:41):
Hurricane melissa in tracking, That, wow the widespread destruction In
jamaica absolutely terrible to see once the lights were, on
so to, speak and you could see the real damage In,
jamaica you, know at points where you had twelve feet
of storm.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Surge.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Wow and then Hitting cuba with the same thing one
hundred and twenty mile an hour wins though versus one
hundred and eighty five mile an hour. Wins So melissa
now is headed to The bahamas as a cat to,
storm so it could bring some, damage no, doubt but
certainly five to ten inches is not. Good and if
(47:23):
you get that storm surge is the dangerous. Thing, right
you get storm surge of five to eight, feet that
still is a prediction. There that's that's what ruins homes
and that's what rips through. Everything and then the storm
is going to pass closely supposedly To bermuda On thursday,
night but just closely not doing. Much but you, know
you get on the dirty side of a hurricane and
(47:43):
when someone says not, much that's not what. Happens so
it's still about watching it.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
To see where it.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
Goes so really think about the people Of jamaica and
hopefully some of the people that are stuck. There the
belief is that many of them start getting out in
the next day or. Two thanks to The minnesota, Too
jason And daniel for their excellent work on the, technicals
and of course all of you for listening to this.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
SHOW i Met Kate.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
Delaney keep it, here my, friends keep it, tight hug
your loved ones and remember to make it count Right
guinness
The Jay's on the brink of clinching the World Series.
The President wants to test nukes. I'm Kate Delaney. That's
where we're headed during this show. But first we kick
it off with a rundown on atn So we start
with the Federal Reserve Chairman and the fact that the
(00:29):
big meeting on Wednesday didn't disappoint. A lot of people
were hoping for a cut, and a cut is exactly
what they got from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Here he is today.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
The Federal Open Market Committee decided to lower our policy
interest rate by a quarter percentage point.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, that's big news, not as much as maybe some
had hoped, but it will help ease the pain, especially
on loans. He did hint that there may not be
any other cut, so we'll have to wait to twenty
twenty six, and that kind of left the marketsh in
a little bit of flux. Meanwhile, everything is upside down
(01:09):
in Montego Bay, Jamaica and other parts of Jamaica. At
least two hundred and forty one communities isolated and without communications,
certainly during the storm as it swept across the Santiago
Province and There were so many people affected by this.
Once the daylight hit you could see the damage where
(01:29):
roofs were turned upside down and down the street. Think
about one hundred and eighty five mile an hour winds.
At least thirty people have died as a result of
Melissa roaring through it, moved on from Jamaica and then
went on to Cuba. There were plenty of American tourists there,
(01:50):
honeymooners and others. Alicia White was one of them. She
talked about surviving the six hours of this massive hurricane,
but feeling like the resort where she was really did
their job.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
We feel safe. Our resource Death has made sure that
we feel safe throughout this entire experience. They were outside
during a hurricane making sure that anything that was being
damaged they were fixing it. Anyone's rooms who glass shattered
or their roofs caves in, they made sure they've changed
their rooms. Everything has been amazing here at our resort,
(02:24):
and we're staying at Deja All Inclusive Resort in Montego Bay,
right on the Hip Street.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
On the Hip Street, it's a fun place to go.
Not so fun right now. It is ripped up and
full of mud. We moved from there to the government
shut down and continues to roll on going intoday thirty
and the big conversation is about the food and food
in security with SNAP benefits that will end on November first.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Here's what the press said.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
When he was back on Air Force one that this
Asia trip to go to meet with President she in China.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
The Democrats have cause the problem on food stamps if
of course, all they have to do is sign.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
And they won't sign. And because of that, there are
others like California a g. Rob Banta who says they
can fund SNAP. The government can, but they just won't
do it. So we're suing.
Speaker 6 (03:27):
They have the legal requirement, a legal imperative, not to
mention a moral imperative, but legally they are required under
the SNAP Act to move the funds in the contingency
fund out onto the street to help hungry children, seniors, veterans,
disabled eat. The language is a shall language that says
(03:49):
the money shall be used to ensure the necessary operations
of the SNAP program.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
All right, So Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, that's of course
what SNAP stands for. It helps forty two million Americans
buy food.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I've talked about this already, but there.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Are pantries that are trying to do everything they can,
and there are some restaurants that are also trying to
pitch in as well, But that deadline is there. The
deadline not only affects snap, but as you know, it
affects the pay of so many who are deemed essential
and they're working and they're not getting paid, including everybody
talks about this, the air traffic controllers and many in
(04:30):
the military. Senate Majority Leader John Thuns said during the
day that talks among rank and file senators have ticked
up a little bit and that the conversation might be
a precursor of things to come. Not everybody was as optimistic.
Republican Senator Tom Tillis from North Carolina said he hasn't
seen any evidence that talks have progressed to formal negotiations
(04:50):
that could actually end.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
The stale mate.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Republican Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina through in his
two cents, he said he hoped the shutdown could end
next week. He would do what he could, but there
is no real signs of progress at this point. What
is the contingency And the answer is, right now, there
is no contingency. All right, it's about US China relations.
(05:15):
So our President Trump and President She met for the
first time in six years. The world is watching. What
will happen with this crippling trade war? What will happen next?
So they posed for the pictures, had the warm smiles.
They offered remarks as their talks were continuing again, like
(05:37):
I said, face to face got underway at an air
base in the coastal city of Busan, near to where
an international summit is taking place. The president praise she
is the great leader of a great country, and he
said he thought the two were going to have a
fantastic relationship for a.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Long period of time.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
The Chinese leader said it was a great pleasure to
see Trump after many years.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
He said, we do not always see I to eye with.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Each other, and its normal for the two leading economies
of the world to have frictions. Now and then, you
and I are at the helm of China relations US relations.
We should stay the right course, adding that the two
nations could prosper together. And when I said the world
is watching closely. We want to see what happens, of
(06:22):
course with trade, I mean this is the end of
the President's five day, three country visit to Asia. And
at the middle of this is the tensions over this
gaping trade imbalance and efforts from the US to ensure
its national security, our national security against an increasingly assertive China,
(06:44):
for example, including by expanding restrictions on China's access to
American high tech. Boy, don't we know that like advanced
semiconductors that of course are needed to power what's the number.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
One thing everybody's talking about in the world, A I so.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
On the table at this meeting are a range of
really kind of one would describe Thorny I guess issues
Harry Carey issues including tariffs, trade imbalance, China's sweeping export
controls on rare earths, US restrictions on Chinese access to
(07:22):
American high tech, and China's role in the illicit fetanyl trade.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
That's one thing the.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
President's brought over again, brought up rather again and again
and again. China's purchases of American soybeans, the future in
the US of the popular media app social media app TikTok,
the war in Ukraine as well as Taiwan. All of
that is part of what is happening in this conversation
(07:49):
that is underway. What will come of it, we'll see.
But again, there is a lot of things to talk about.
Certainly there are things that we've talked about on the
show with other people, other ex and front inn R
two cents too, especially when it comes to obviously the terroriffs,
obviously security, obviously, things with farmers, especially soybeans.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
That's a very very big.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Concern I know to many of you listening in this audience.
All right, shocking to some but not shocking to others. Hey,
the blue Jays are for real after seeing what happened
in that exciting eighteen inning game where the Dodgers won.
The Blue Jays were dominant and beat the Dodgers in
(08:39):
LA with a crowd pretty much silence.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Six 't one.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They lead the series three too, It ships back to
Canada and they could.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Win the World Series. Meet you on the Deeper Dive next.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
to look into. And that's meta share. Maybe you've heard

it's also true people are just happier with it. They

I were going to go deep on the president of
this country, President Trump, and his meeting finishing off, as
I said, his trip in Asia, this time meeting with
China's main leader. Of course she I'm Kate Delaney, and
that's how we roll here on the platform. As we
dive in deeper, there than a couple of quick hits
(12:26):
for you that are pretty significant going on around the country.
Questions we're asking ourselves. So the President said he wanted
to test nuclear weapons, and this was before he stepped
off the plane to the Air Force base and shook
hands with she and did the photo op thing, and
everything has been laid out of the potential track and
(12:48):
course that this discourse could take. So I wonder if
that sends any kind of a pall over that meeting whatsoever.
When you hear that, for the first time in how
many years, we're going to start testing nuclear weapons, how
does that make you feel? And the reason the President
said on Thursday morning that he directed the Pentagon to
(13:09):
do so was because we needed to be on an
equal basis with Russia and China, and that certainly inserts
nuclear issues into this discussion. One of the things that
I didn't throw out there, but it is high on
the table at this high stakes trade summit. It's not
(13:30):
just about the tariffs and about the economies. It is
about the future of our future. Because I was not
a duck and cover child. You might have been a
duck and cover child. If you're listening to us and
you're in the older demographic in this audience than younger demographic,
(13:51):
you might not even know what that is. I know
what it is, but I was not part of that generation.
But I certainly have talk to people who talk about
the real fear that people had about the idea that
there could be nuclear proliferation. So this announcement is definitely
(14:11):
a reversal of decades of US nuclear policy and will
it have far reaching consequences for our relationships with US
adversaries even now. On truth Social, which is where the
President reveals most details of the things he's thinking about
are things that actually end up happening, was about what
(14:35):
the test would entail. The last nuclear weapons test in
the United States, I'm glad you asked, was in nineteen
ninety two, before President George HW. Bush believe it or not,
implemented a moratorium on those exercises at the conclusion of
the Cold War.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
The White House hasn't really.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Had many comments about what the nuclear weapons testing would involve.
The President said he would direct the Department of War
to conduct the tests, but the Department of Energy is
responsible for nuclear testing. So on truth Social, he said
that the process would begin immediately and was in response
to other countries testing programs. Russia on Wednesday. This was
(15:19):
again one of the reasons why announced that it had
successfully tested, because that's what Russia does best, right They
like to tell us what they've done afterwards, and they
announced that they have successfully tested some nukes. So when
you hear that coming from Moscow, does it make you think, Okay,
(15:44):
they've done a nuclear powered super specifically torpedo called Poseidon,
and they praised the successful test of the nuclear powered
cruise missile just three days before.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
But Putin has abstained.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
From testing a nuclear weapon or carrying out a nuclear detonation.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Of course, so far.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
During the first Trump administration, there was discussions about conducting
a nuclear test explosion in twenty twenty, but that didn't happen,
and demonstrating that the United States could conduct a test
they thought would be useful as far as negotiating with
Beijing and Moscow, that was the thought. But you know,
(16:29):
he is the peace president, and I really believe he
is not.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He is not a warmonger.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I really believe that he doesn't want to see people killed,
and that is at the core of the whole idea
of I'm the peace President, and that is the push
in the campaign, as you know, is is I think
is to soothe tensions and to soothe tensions with you know,
China and Russia too. So this nuclear testing announcement, I
(16:59):
think alarmed lot of people, a lot of arms control
experts who think it's escalatory and unnecessary. In fact, I
was reading something from a guy named Darryl Kimball, executive
director of the Arms Control Association, So again you know
what direction that's going, but who said the United States
has no technical, military, or political reason to resume a
(17:22):
nuclear explosive testing and said that the nuclear the National
Nuclear Security Administration, the federal agency of course that oversees testing,
was not even equipped to immediately restart testing and that
it would need at least thirty six months, wow, thirty
six months to resume contained nuclear test underground at the
former test site in Nevada. Now that was something that
(17:45):
made me think twice, we need thirty six months to
resume a contained nuclear test. So what if we had
to fire nukes, which nobody would want, would we be prepared?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Are we ready to do that? The vast majority of.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
The agencies, by the way, employees are furloughed because of
the government shutdown. In contrast to past government funding lapses,
the workers were deemed essential to government operations. So the
idea that we're going to test, we don't even have
the people that normally are there to test because they're
not there.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
They're fur load.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
And now it's interesting because it does raise the issue
with China because guess what they've done. They have, as
we know, significantly increase their nuclear weapons stockpiles over the
last couple of years, with independent analysts saying it's probably
among the most rapid modernization campaigns. It's certainly the largest
(18:51):
of how many countries have nuclear weapons? If I were
testing you, that would be nine nine countries. And the
President said that Beijing is currently a distant third in
its number of nuclear weapons to Russia in the United States,
but that'll actually be even in five years. What does
our Department of Defense say? They estimated last year that
(19:13):
China will surpass I remember talking about this on the
air one thousand warheads by twenty thirty. But that's still
a number that's considerably behind the US and Russia, which
the estimates there are between thirty seven hundred and forty
three hundred, respectively. So here's just a little more food
(19:37):
for thought. There have been two thousand nuclear test explosions
around the world since nineteen forty five. Most countries stopped
doing that in the nineties. China's last nuclear explosion happened
in ninety six, Moscows was in nineteen ninety when, really,
let's face it, the Soviet.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Union was dying on the vine.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Of course, the rare exception is you know who, if
you were thinking Kim Jong un, give yourself one hundred points.
That was the rare exception conducted by North Korea in
twenty seventeen. So a lot of nations, including our country, Russia,
and China, are signatories to the nineteen ninety six Comprehensive
(20:22):
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which prohibits any nuclear test explosion
or any other nuclear explosion. The treaty never went into
effect because several key countries, including the US, didn't ratify it.
So what do you think, America? Should we dust it
off and have it ready, use it as the threat
(20:44):
of hey, if you're thinking about testing and you are
upping the stockpiles, just to let you know we're ready.
A couple of quickies for you from the flight mare category.
I hate hearing these stories. A passenger law a laptop
and guess what happened. It had forced a United flight
to turn around. A flight from northern Virginia to Rome
(21:05):
had to turn around near the US coast after the
passenger dropped the laptop and couldn't retrieve it. And why
do you think that is? Think of the batteries, Lithium
ion batteries. Disastrous, right, So the airline released a statement
saying that the commuter computer rather had fallen behind a
cabin wall panel through a small gap leading to the
cargo hold, and the pilots had a divert back to
(21:30):
Washington Dulles International Airport because they couldn't take a risk.
They had to do it as a precaution. They had
a conversation with air traffic controllers in Boston. One of
the pilots on flight one twenty six described the incident
as a minor situation with the laptop which was turned
on yikes when it fell into the cargo area. The
plane was give or take southeast of Boston when it
(21:54):
had to turn back because they didn't know the status
of it. They couldn't access then see it. They had
to turn around and find the laptop before they could
continue over the ocean. The pilot said he wasn't declaring
an emergency and didn't need special services at the airport.
He made the call out of an abundance of caution
(22:15):
because the battery would be in an area of the
Boeing seven sixty seven that wasn't near a fire suppression system.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Isn't that just crazy?
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Imagine you're a passenger and you're cruising along and whoops,
were being diverted. It's not an emergency and we'll be
on our way once we retrieve a laptop that could
catch on fire in the cargo area.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Oh, for your health next, So here we.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Are for your health, and this is exciting. There's the
first ever non surgical treatment that's been approved for a
rare HPV associated disease, and he certainly would bring new
hope for adults who are living with what's called r
P again our RP. So joining us is doctor Simon Best,
he's an associate professor John Hopkins School of Medicine. And
(23:27):
the Reverend doctor Lorenzo Smalls, who's a pastor who is
diagnosed with rr FP, and we're glad to have them
both on the show. Thanks for coming on, Thank you,
Thank you, doctor Bess. Let's start with you. What is
our RP and how does it affect patients like the Reverend?
Speaker 11 (23:47):
Well, absolutely, we're excited to be here on behalf of
Presagen to discuss our RP or recurrent respiratory papalomatosis. As
you said, this is an HPV associated disease caused by
the HBB types six and eleven. These affect the vocal
cords in the airway, so they cause these recurring papalomas
(24:09):
that grow on the vocal cords and thus interfere with
our voice and breathing. Historically, the only way that this
was treated was with surgery, so we would take patients
to the operating room, use lasers or other instruments to
remove the papalomas. But because the underlying infection is still there,
the papolomas would recur, and so patients would be in
(24:30):
an unending cycle of surgery and recurrence. Surgery and recurrence.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Wow, an unending cycle. Just thinking of processing that, Reverend,
for you, can you share your personal experience living with
our key and how it impacted your life?
Speaker 12 (24:50):
Uh? It infected my life dramatically being a preacher pastor
over thirty years, and of course my voice was everything
from singing, counseling, preaching outside of the country.
Speaker 13 (25:07):
It was everything. And when my voice left, it left
me in despair. Psychologically, I was a shadow of a man.
Faith cometh by hearing. But what happens when you can't
hear the preacher? So my life was in a dismal
of just being depressed and not being able to vocalize.
(25:31):
So I am happy to be a part of the
clinical trial and to be able to have my voice back.
I'm like a little child at Christmas. I am excited.
I am truly excited.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Wow, we can hear that in your voice. That's wonderful.
So you know, doc, take us through this. How does
this new treatment work compared with, like you mentioned at
the top, that cycle the repeated surgeries.
Speaker 11 (25:54):
Well, HPV infections are actually quite common and for the
vast majority of people that encounter the virus, the immune
system is able to recognize it and clear away that infection.
The patients with RP, their immune system has a little
bit of a blind spot. It hasn't recognized that that
virus is there. So pabzimios has approved for adults with
(26:15):
our RP, and it's a series of injections that is
designed to boost the immune system, essentially direct the immune
system like immunotherapy that is direct in the immune system
to actually identify and target cells that have that HPV
virus and thus address the cause of our RP right
at its root.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Wow. And you know, Reverend you said this, you said
it's you're like a child at Christmas. What does it
meant to you to daily to participate in the clinical
trial and see that this new treatment, here's the other
part of this can help other people because it's been improved.
Speaker 13 (26:53):
To me, it was an array of hope that being
a part of the clinical trial and the idea that
my voice could return, I was excited, and I want
to share with those that suffering with our RP that
I am thankful. I am so thankful for the approval
(27:15):
of the press ZIMMO and that those that have lost
their voice because of our r P there is now hope.
So I just hope that they can go to President
dot com and receive the information because now there is
(27:36):
hope and they don't have to continue with the reoccuring surgery.
So I'm excited, and I'm excited for those who didn't
have hope. Now there is hope.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Perfect place to end this, doctor best, thank you so much,
and also Reverend Small's continued success with that and thank.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
You, thank you, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Well, I can't even imagine listening to him talk about that,
and like you said, he's a reverend and not having
his voice, and they talk about the signs. If you
develop this infection and you have difficulty breathing and a
rash and facial swelling and shortness of breath and all
of that blurred vision, that could be a sign of it.
But the fact that you could not have to do
(28:21):
the surgery, that is huge, significant breakthrough. All Right, we
go to some ubi's quickly, this one on the silly side.
There's a new favorite shoe out there for the people
who have disposable income Zegna. They have a triple stitch
is what it's called, and it will cost you anywhere
(28:41):
from one thousand dollars really fifteen hundred to four thousand dollars.
It's called the Minimist Men's Luxury sneaker, and it's popular
among financial types in Manhattan. Also with Apple CEO him Cook, well,
he has money to burn. So they're supposedly very comfortable.
(29:04):
They come in thirty colors and they can be easily
dressed up or down depending on your outfit. Anyone think
that that's kind of ridiculous and the money.
Speaker 14 (29:12):
Money many many, many mony many money money.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, category, okay, would you really drop the money you
would pay for your mortgage or rent? Maybe for some
people on sneakers. That's why did you hear what I
said at the beginning? Luxury sneaker popular among finance types.
I wonder how comfortable they are, though, I'm curious about
that because they really emphasize the comfort fact. But when
(29:37):
they get worn out, I mean, look, your feet's your feet,
You're rocking on the pavement, the dirty pavement in Manhattan.
I mean, it's gonna get worn down. You're gonna wear
down those souls. I'm just kind of, you know, thinking
out loud. Let's put it that way, all right. The
Fed that's the other ubi. What does the FED rate
cut mean for credit cards, mortgages, a loan, student debt,
(30:01):
that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
When you think about.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
The fact that this is the second time in a
row it's been cut by this time twenty five basis points,
and it will have a little bit of a ripple effect.
Some of it not as significant as you would think.
Like you look at credit cards, they're at an all
time high, averaging more than twenty percent. And then you
look at what the APR is and so if you
(30:25):
have an APR let's say the average is twenty four,
which is pretty high, zero point nineteen percent, and you
had seven thousand in credit card debt, you paid two
to fifty a month on the balance, you would lower
the APR by a quarter point. It would save you
about sixty one bucks over the lifetime of the loan.
I mean, hey, it's something, but it's not amazing. Mortgages
could be a little bit different fifteen or thirty year
(30:46):
mortgage rates because they're closely tied to what we call
the treasury yields and of course the economy. So if
you're a home buyer, you could definitely benefit for the
future because we could see that number come down. So
there could be a tangible opportunity there, I would think
by that reduction. So, for example, if you were trying
(31:08):
to secure a mortgage three hundred and fifty thousand, let's say,
and the interest rate was six point seventy five the
interest rate, you could see the monthly payment fall by
like one hundred and fifty dollars. That's significant over the
course of time, so you would see it there. Auto loans,
that's pretty significant for a lot of people. But now
we know the average cost of a brand new car
(31:30):
is fifty thousand dollars, and auto loans, like most mortgages,
are fixed for the life of the loan, so there's
that part of it. So it might not drastically lower
monthly payments in a high rate, high price environment, but
confidence wise, it makes you feel a little better because
(31:51):
you hear that. And student loans, those rates are fixed too,
so the rate for new loans only resets once a
year on July first, So most bars really immediately feel that,
although it could have a little bit of an impact
as you go further down the lane for savers savings
savings rates, it's you know, you got to take that
on yourself because the Central Bank doesn't have any influence.
(32:15):
Sometimes people think that on deposit rates, they do not
have any kind of really kind of a bump on that.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
So that's where it stands.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Now, what will be interesting in the hint was it
probably won't happen, but will there be a cut in December?
That would make a big difference if there was another
cut in December, but there's no indication. In fact, the
indication is kind of that there won't be another cut.
If there was another cut, then you would see another jump,
especially with the mortgages. That's where you would really really
(32:46):
feel it. By the way, the meeting with President she
as I understand, was an hour and forty minutes and
it just wrapped up just a not too long ago.
They had the big photo op that I talked about,
shook the hands. Did all of that coming out of it?
What do we know? Just that it seemed conciliatory. Of
(33:08):
course it would be, But is there going to be
any success walking away from it? That's the part we
you know, That's the part we don't know. They of
course are asked would finalize a trade deal at the meeting,
and the President sad going into it. It could be
that we have a great understanding, but there was nothing
coming out of it to.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Say, Okay, this is absolutely happened. Although those are things that.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Will probably drip out in the hours to come and
maybe the days to come, it could be it could
be further down the line, because there was a lot
of things that were quickly that were quickly hit upon,
especially the whole trade deal, but not just that. A
handful of things that I talked about at the beginning
of the hour. That included you know, the TikTok and
(33:55):
the divestiture from you know, Beijing's based parent company to
a US back company, tariffs and tech curbs, and rare earths,
especially as the rare earth's minerals are important. That was
on the table for discussion too. I mean a lot
of things. So what do you get through in one
hour with translators? One hour and forty minutes? That that's
(34:20):
what you got to think about, all right?
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I love what's coming up next?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Think about this growing another generation of leaders the nation's
premier youth ag organization.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
What would that be ffa?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Think about that future farmers of America that's coming up
around the bend.
Speaker 15 (34:42):
Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
Speaker 13 (34:46):
Yes?
Speaker 15 (34:47):
Actually three known gas is hi, I'm doctor Mitch, and
nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood
vessel walls. By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood,
oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body. Both
(35:10):
age and poor diet can lead to a loss of
this precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
your hands and feet well. Our product Ultimate nitric Oxide
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

Speaker 1 (38:02):
All right, so I'm so excited that we are going
to take you to the ninety eighth National FFA Convention
and Expo. It had such an impact on so many
of the lives around me, and it's about growing the
next generation of leaders. How the nation's premier youth agriculture
organization is preparing students for the future. And what's really
(38:23):
cool is through a three point nine million dollar three
year investment that John Deer Foundation is helping the FFA
reach more students and strength and leadership development across the communities. Wow,
sounds so good. So in our virtual green room we
have Alex Davis, quality engineer for John Deere and a
(38:43):
Duena Chen who is a student who benefited. So welcome
both to the show.
Speaker 13 (38:49):
That's good to be here.
Speaker 17 (38:50):
Thank you for having us.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Yes, absolutely so, Alex, let's talk about this. I mentioned this.
You're joining us from the ninety eighth annual FFA Convention
and Expo in Indianapolis. Tell us about the event and
what visitors and participants can expect when they're there.
Speaker 13 (39:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 17 (39:05):
So this is I think my seventh, the six or
seven time being here. You mentioned came as a student
and now here on the corporate side. Every year it's
a great opportunity to come back and see the future
of agriculture, see the leaders that are going to be
in our industry, both for students that are the students
that are currently in the Blue jackets, as well as
(39:26):
those around the country, those corporate partners that want to
help invest in the future of agriculture. It's a great
opportunity for students to learn more about their opportunities or
their their their findings outside of the classroom, what they
can do after college, after after high school, as well
as they can learn more about what is available within
(39:49):
f f A through different workshops and sessions that they
can develop their skills and talents for to take back
home to their classrooms.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Nice. What do the letters f f A stand for?
There might be people maybe one or two, because I
think a lot of people know, But what do they
stand for? And how has the organization evolved over the years?
Speaker 7 (40:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Absolutely so.
Speaker 18 (40:09):
When the FFA was formed, it was it stood for
the Future Farmers of America. But to this day it
now stands for the National FFA Organization. And the reason
behind that is because you know, our culture is such
a diverse and broad industry that continues to evolve and
hit all the different niches in like for all different people,
(40:32):
so everyone can find a home and a place and
impact within our culture. So that is why we, you know,
change that branding for the past, I think like twenty
years now. I think it changed in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Yeah, I love your explanation. So true, so diverse. Where
do you think of DWEENA your FFA experience will take
you after high school? Yeah?
Speaker 18 (40:54):
So right now, I'm actually a sophomore in college studying
pre veterinarian medicine with the University of Delaware.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Nice, so kind of see a little bit into the future.
Speaker 18 (41:04):
But freshman year, I took a zoom class animal science
because it was like COVID, and that has carried throughout
my whole high school journey, Like completed my animal science
pathway and competed in various competitions within the FFA that
helped develop my soft skills and hard skills. That like
(41:24):
was what I was interested in, and that has pushed
me into being very successful in university and all like
the different areas of knowledge I have to know, whether
that be you know, talking to clients like in the
that field, or you know, learning how to study all
the all the amazing little things that we have to
do within veterinarian medicine.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Nice go Blue Hens by the way, thank you, thank you,
great program. They're lucky to have you. Alex. What advice
would you give to students or parents who might be
interested in the program? How can they get involved?
Speaker 17 (41:58):
I would say, reach out to your local chapters. You
can go to f FA dot org and a find
out more about the national the FFA National Convention here
in Indianapolis, but then b find out more about your
local chapters. There's a great great finder there, Chapter Finder,
where you can reach out to those local local high
schools in middle schools in your area to volunteer both
(42:20):
your time and talent to be able to help those
students out, help those advisors out, because I mean it's
it's anything from judging speeches and working with students on
how to better around a meeting, how to how to
speak in public, how to prepare them for opportunities in
the classroom and in those competitions as well as in
those posts high school opportunities.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yeah, doueen it for you. What's it like to be
there in Indianapolis. I mean, that's one of the best
places to.
Speaker 18 (42:45):
Be absolutely it was over the past few years. This
is my fifth national conventions. I'm very blessed to like
be here, but usually it's now. So this is like
the best leather we've ever had. So I am living
the dream. But in indeed you just see the sea
of blue and you like really live in the moment.
And that's something that I feel like all of us
(43:05):
could work on, is living in the moment. And FFA
just does it for me, Like you have all these people,
not only people that share the same interests as you,
but people with different stories that you get to learn
more about and realize, Like this world it is like
such a small place, but it's like so vast and
full of endless opportunities. So it's always like so enlightening,
(43:26):
so and powerful.
Speaker 17 (43:26):
And you can't escape the blue jackets.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Well, you both painted such a great picture. Al Alex again,
where can the listeners go for more information?
Speaker 17 (43:37):
FFA dot org is the best place to go find
out more about the National FFA organization. The National FFA
can mentioned here in Indianapolis, as well as your local
chapters and great opportunities for partnerships like the one that
John de your head and you mentioned with both our
partnership with National EFFA and as well as those local
(43:57):
and state level partnerships.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Wow, I enjoined it. Alex intodweena, thanks, thank you, thank
you so much. A couple of thoughts before we exit
from this hour one. I mentioned it at the top.
The Blue Jays one win away from winning the World Series.
They beat the Dodgers six' one Trey Ya Savage fan.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Twelve he was so.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
DOMINANT i watched a big chunk of that game with The,
hubs and he. Did he took them all, out all
the big hitters. Show heo Tani on down and that
was a big reason for that. Win, pitching, pitching pitching.
Right and so now the defending champs are on the.
Ropes it switches To toronto if they do win the next,
(44:39):
game then we got a game. SEVEN i thought it
would be. SIX i said it would be, six BUT
i thought that The dodgers would eke it. Out and,
said if you remember on the, show That toronto had a,
Chance AND i thought they had a chance because they're
kind of that motley team player attitude crew that everybody chips.
In but so are The, dodgers even though some people,
(45:00):
think oh la, polish but not the players. Themselves if
you think of the way the players really went out
at gutsy in that eighteen inning extra frame, win which
The Blue jays did. Too it showed you what both
of those teams are made. Of so it's actually been
a really interesting. Series i'll be curious when it's all
said and done what the ratings, are and of course
(45:22):
we'll have that for. YOU i want to see the
whole series laid out so we know if people are
paying attention or, hey it's not my team and. Baseball
we got football and other things that if we're sports,
fans that.
Speaker 2 (45:33):
We're paying attention.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
To i'm just, saying but speaking of a baseball note
for The minnesota, Too i'm going to throw this. In
Derek shelton returns to The twins as the. Manager, supposedly
so The twins are hiring the Former Pittsburgh pirates manager
to be the team's new. Manager he was fired from
The pirates On may eighth as they quickly slipped into
(45:57):
last place in The National League, central so this is
a big. Move he at fifty, five was the bench
coach for The twins in twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen
under two different. Managers sometimes when you move from a
familiar you move back from a place and back into
(46:19):
familiar territory and just shaking things up can really really.
Help i've heard great things about him though in my
travels of interviewing people and. WHATNOT i never met, him
but it is a change in that, position obviously for
The twins who were disappointed in their. Season, meanwhile Also
(46:41):
Hurricane melissa in tracking, That, wow the widespread destruction In
jamaica absolutely terrible to see once the lights were, on
so to, speak and you could see the real damage In,
jamaica you, know at points where you had twelve feet
of storm.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Surge.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Wow and then Hitting cuba with the same thing one
hundred and twenty mile an hour wins though versus one
hundred and eighty five mile an hour. Wins So melissa
now is headed to The bahamas as a cat to,
storm so it could bring some, damage no, doubt but
certainly five to ten inches is not. Good and if
(47:23):
you get that storm surge is the dangerous. Thing, right
you get storm surge of five to eight, feet that
still is a prediction. There that's that's what ruins homes
and that's what rips through. Everything and then the storm
is going to pass closely supposedly To bermuda On thursday,
night but just closely not doing. Much but you, know
you get on the dirty side of a hurricane and
(47:43):
when someone says not, much that's not what. Happens so
it's still about watching it.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
To see where it.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
Goes so really think about the people Of jamaica and
hopefully some of the people that are stuck. There the
belief is that many of them start getting out in
the next day or. Two thanks to The minnesota, Too
jason And daniel for their excellent work on the, technicals
and of course all of you for listening to this.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
SHOW i Met Kate.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
Delaney keep it, here my, friends keep it, tight hug
your loved ones and remember to make it count Right
