Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
You are about to listen to the Doctor Dahlia Show,
sase stimulating medical talk radio. Any medical advice Doctor Dhia
Wax gives on her show should not be substituted for
an actual visit to your medical provider. And now here's
doctor Dahlia.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
All right, we're back on the Doctor Dolli Show. Thank
you all for tuning in. One eight seven seven Doctor
Dolly one eight seven seven Doc d a l I.
So wild. This administration is looking at what our kids
are eating, what the snap Benefits are covering in terms
of junk food, the Presidential Fitness Test, bringing that back

(00:54):
for kids to have certain metrics and goals for athlete
and activity. And then, as I've always said, hopefully there's
a remediation part of it to help get kids into
shape for those who don't or are walking the whole mile.
We also need to look at another factor that could
be affecting their health, and that's their screen time. Now

(01:17):
we know that being on computers and being in front
of a TV or looking at phones is not helpful,
but how unhelpful and how dangerous is it to these
kids' health. So we have a study that was published
in the Journal of American Heart Association, and the research
found that ten and eighteen year olds who spent more

(01:39):
time on devices like phones, television's, computers, game consoles were
at higher risk for cardio metabolic diseases like high blood pressure,
high cholesterol, and insulin resistance. The study looked at two
Danish studies of more than a thousand participants. They gave
a score to each participant representing the risk of the
diseases compared to the average risk of the group, and

(01:59):
extra hour of screen time increase the patient's overall risk
by about point oh eight standard deviations and ten year
olds and by point one to three standard deviations in
eighteen year olds. And according to lead author David Horner,
who's a researcher at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, he
says it's a small change per hour, but when screen
time accumulates to three, five or even six hours a day,

(02:24):
as we saw in many adolescents, that adds up, they say.
Researchers found that eighteen year olds were on their devices
about six hours a day on average. Ten year olds
average three hours a day. There is no reason a
ten year old should be on a screen for three
hours a day. This is beyond school. That's that makes

(02:45):
no sense. You should be playing, they should be climbing things,
throwing balls, riding bikes. They need to be out and about.
They should be doing chores. We give them a broom.
They found sleep impacted. The results with both less and
later bedtimes amplify the relationship between screen time and heart
health risks. This suggests screen time may harm health by

(03:06):
stealing time from sleep. So these are observational studies. It's
not that they took a bunch of kids saying we're
gonna give you the phones and now we're gonna see
what's going on with your heart. So it is associative
where they're seeing what relative changes or what they are
they can project based on current activity. But are I

(03:32):
am seeing a lot of twenty year olds now with
high blood pressure, with diabetes. I'm seeing a lot of
issues that you really shouldn't be seen in twenty year
olds young adults. And we are and some of them
aren't even obese. Because you know, we've been really attacking
how we you know, address our health by the obesity,
which is huge. Once we curb smoking and we did

(03:54):
a great job, we still have work to do. But
once we really limited smoking, we started to find that
people were gaining more weight. So the obesity epidemic grew
as we got smoking down because people would use their
cigarettes to keep their weight down. Virginia slims, all of that,
but the obesity factor. We can't just look at obese

(04:14):
people and say, well, they are the ones we have
to focus on for their heart health. We also have
slender individuals. You could have a slender ten year old
or an eighteen year old b I risk for high
blood fresh or diabetes, heart disease. Heart attacks happen in
skinny people too, So why is that? Is it the stress?

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I mean I used to play outside and yeah I
got bullied and there was stress with that. But is
there a stress factor with what we're seeing with these
phones in screen time? Is it that your body doesn't
want to always sit still? Is it that you're not
necessarily taking on good habits because of what you're exposed

(04:57):
to online? So me, if I see a bunch of
kids running, as a kid, I ran with them. That's
just what you do. Now you're seeing people sit there
making you know, videos and hand gestures and all that.
You know, where's the mimicry that kids do and eighteen
year olds. Eighteen year olds, you'd have some of the
best hearts. Now, they did studies I believe they were

(05:20):
Vietnam vets, maybe also World War two vets, where they
looked at those who deceased and they looked at their
coronary arteries and they found that even young eighteen year
olds could have coronary artery disease. But we as parents
don't think about that. See I did, I had my kids.
I remember there was, by the way, about ten fifteen
years ago, no, about fifteen years ago, there was a
recommendation that kids between two and ten years old get

(05:42):
a cholesterol test done to see if they have high
cholesterol already in that age range. Now, it didn't go viral.
A lot of you know, people didn't take the advice.
I forget if it was the American Heart Association. You
have to look that up where they suggested do if
high cholesterol is in the family, if heart disease in

(06:03):
the family, check your kids cholesterol a one time screen
between age two and ten. And I remember checking the
cholesterol of one of my of both kids, and one
of them was starting to be above normal and I
got on them lickety split. I was like, no way,
you are not going to have high cholesterol as a kid.

(06:24):
But what are kids eating happy meals, French fries, chicken fingers,
pizza with cheese on it. Of course they're going to
start having high cholesterol. Now. My kids, luckily, were not
big video game players. They did play, but they were
outside a lot. We had them in sports. They swam,
they ran around. They might have played around with a

(06:45):
little bit of Nintendo or a game Boy or whatever
the heck, but we really limited it. But now here
we are looking at the health of our kids, and
we're seeing a bunch of twenty year olds that are
now at higher cancer risk, higher heart disease risk, diabetes.
I should not be seeing twenty year olds on high
bloodressure medicine, but we are, and it's starting to become

(07:06):
the norm. And yes, we do have medication. It's a
nice we have high blood pressure medication and diabetes medication.
But we don't want somebody to get to that point.
So let's look at our kids. So let's look at
what we're doing with their screen time. I agree we
need to be aggressive about this in terms of banning
cell phones at school. I mix because I think kids

(07:26):
do need to be able to call the police if
there's a shooter, and they should be able to have
access and parents have access to their kids. But you
know how you have to put your bag away, You
have to put things away. You could easily have kids
put them away. You don't have to necessarily not allow
them to come onto the campus one eight seven seven
doct dollar. Don't go a hi, guys, doctor Dahlia here.

(08:01):
Addictions can sneak up on us and come in many forms,
whether it's drugs, alcohol, sex, video games, porn, or something
less obvious such as food, internet, or shopping. Addiction can
seem innocent at first and then evolve into an insurmountable evil.
In our book Addiction Basics, Cavin Kalikus and I dive
into the common addictions and provide tips for identifying and
preventing these before they sneak in and take over our lives.

Check it out at Hotshine Secret, we share the science
behind common diesel problems, for.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Example, diesel fuel seet levels.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
The cetane rating, and diesel fuel is forty two to
forty five. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with the
cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one. Treatment of
Hodshot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your seatane seven points,
increased fuel economy and improve cold starts.

So we have a little bit more information on the

(10:39):
shooting in Fort Stewart in Georgia. Five soldiers were shot
at Fort Stewart in Georgia. According to Fort Stewart Hunter
Army Airfield, the shooter has been apprehended and is no
longer a threat now. Fort Stewart trains that deployees active
and reserve Army units is home to the third Infantry
Division that's about forty min southwest of Savannah. This is

(11:02):
being reported by CNN. Three nearby schools continue to be
on lockdown. It's a soft lockdown out of an abundance
of caution. The button Gwyned Elementary, Joseph Martin Elementary, and
Snelson Golden Middle Schools. Although interestingly this was the first
day this kids were able to go back to school.
Their school year started today. Officials at the military base

(11:24):
say there is no longer an active threat. Shooter has
been apprehended. We are going to keep you posted. But
from what we understand, law enforcement was notified right before
eleven am that there was a possible shooting. Then within
six minutes the base was locked down. Three minutes later

(11:44):
at eleven o nine am, Virginally personnel was sent to
treaty's five soldiers who were shot. The shooter was apprehended,
and then by noon the lockdown of the main containment
or cantonment. I think that's a type of was lifted.
So we will keep you posted. I do not know
the status. We are being told multiple casualties, but I

(12:07):
do not have any information on the victims, so we
will keep you posted as soon as we get them.
One eight seven seven Doc Dali one eight seven seven
DC d Ali. Also making headlines is Trump raising tariffs
on Indian goods to fifty percent because India decided to say,
you know what, we are still going to work with

(12:28):
Russia despite everything going on with Ukraine, and so India's
economy might now take a multi billion dollar hit as
Presidental Trump is raising tariffs on Indian goods to fifty percent.
This is even higher than the tariffs he has levied
on China. It's one of the highest levees of trading partner.

(12:49):
Why because India has said they are going to continue
to work with Russia in oil and and consume their oil.
Trump at previously composed tariffs of twenty five percent on
Indian goods due to their high trade barriers and what
they were charging US. And they say only twenty percent
of India's good experts or two percent of GDP come

(13:12):
to the US. But certain sectors are exposed, so gems, jewelry, apparel, textiles,
and chemicals. The new tariffs are set to go into
effect in twenty one days, and so we'll see what
happens with that. You know, I keep hearing this back
and forth. These tariffs are going to hurt Americans. They're
going to hurt Americans. I'm really mixed on that because

(13:36):
if the tariff is supposed to be on the company
that wants to send the product to US. Yes, most
likely the company is going to raise that price. But
if they raise their prices and Americans and consumers are
able to get shall we say, like, we don't need
to get Indian gems. We could buy gems. I'm not

(13:58):
in the gem by business, but not looking for one.
But if I did, if I see that somebody's price
is now hyped up, I'm not going to buy it.
So I really think this pass on tariff pricing to
Americans is not going to be as robust as people think.

(14:22):
You know, America needs to be less reliant on these
other countries. And so, yeah, is jewelry going to be
more expensive? The average person is not buying jewelry now.
I mean, we could buy our clothes from other countries,
and so I don't think India is going to necessarily
add a fifty percent. I don't think they're going to
do that. And I appreciate what Trump is trying to

(14:47):
do keeping American soldiers out of the Russia Ukraine War.
What Trump does, which I think is something that all
presidents should do, is get all these other countries and
leaders off their butts, either by helping out NATO or
the World Health Organization or UN or putting money where

(15:08):
their mouth is and not just relying on America. And
Trump is like, why should we be the ones that
have to stop the war? Why should we be the
ones trying to get the hostages out of Do you
see any other country trying to get the hostages out
of Hamas control in Gaza? Why is it always America?

(15:29):
So Trump as it pertains to the Putin Ukraine War,
if India is going to continue to work with Russia,
then there's They're not on Trump's good side. Some people
will disagree, saying we shouldn't start going into an economic
battle with India over this, but the Russia Ukraine war
hurts all of us. And the more people that jump

(15:52):
in and tell Russia We're not going to be putting
up with this bs You're done, the better and the
quicker this might go to come to an end. India
has responded to Trump's terrif escalation, defending its purchases of
Russian oil. They say we have already made clear a
position on these issues, including the fact that our imports
are based on market factors and done with the overall

(16:15):
objective of ensuring the energy security of one point four
billion people of India. They say, it is therefore extremely
unfortunate that the US should choose to impose additional tariffs
on India for actions that several other countries are also
taking in their own national interest. So India is saying, sorry,
we need Russia, and Russia gets more powerful. Look at China.

(16:39):
I'm hearing doctors all upset at what Trump is doing
with China say, but we get our medicines from China, Well,
then we need to get kracking and manufacture our own
medicines here. We don't need the natural resources of China
to make our METAe occasions. We could do that here,

(17:04):
but we become reliant, and we got lazy, and we
got complacent, And I think we need to rethink things
from a global perspective on who we're going to allow
to have this control. Now. I know what the world
is thinking now is you know, how do we limit

(17:25):
Trump's control? But I think we all see what a
dangerous precarious position we're in. If countries run out of
money to give Ukraine, or they run out of votes
wanting to support Ukraine, Russia moves in. If Russia gains
more power, they can continue to do the mayhem they

(17:50):
want to. And if these other countries are bending the
knee because they need what Russia has to offer. I mean,
it's not our job to make India independent of Russia.
But if they have choices, Trump's testing those. Yep, We'll

(18:12):
see what happens. They say. The top goods also the
US received from India were pharmaceuticals, communications equipment, smartphones, and apparel.
Now pharmaceuticals, this is something that yes, I have seen
some of our pharmaceuticals come from India. We get them
Alco from Mexico, we get a lot of them from China.
All we should very very easily be able to get

(18:34):
these these pharmaceuticals more independent from other countries. I am
getting a little bit more of an update back on
the shooting. We are being told that five soldiers have
been taken to the hospital. Now, that might imply that
we do not have casualties, although anitial reports said there
were multiple casualties that happened with the shooting at Fort Stewart.

(18:56):
The fact that there are five individuals going to the hospital,
it might be a good sign that they're still alive.
The suspect is in custody. He did not turn a
gun on himself. We're getting a little bit more information.
The soldiers were shot in the second Armored Brigade Combat
Team area. Law enforcement was dispatched at ten fifty six

(19:19):
am and the suspected shooter was apprehended at eleven thirty
five am. We are waiting for reports on who the
shooter was, what their motive was, like what we saw
with Fort Bragg. Why how could somebody get in and
shoot or was it somebody already there within the gates.
If you ever try to get onto these army bases

(19:40):
or air force bases, it's pretty difficult. And then what
caused somebody to decide to start shooting. Fort Stewart provides
supporting services to approximately fifteen thousand active duty soldiers, sixteen
thousand family members of active duty service members, and thousands
of military retirees and contractors. Governor Brian Kemp announced on

(20:00):
x at his office remains a close contact with law
enforcement on the ground. Governor Kemp says, Marty, the girls
and I are sat in by the today's tragedy of
Fort Stewart. We are keeping the victims our families and
all of those who answer the call to serve in
our hearts and prayers, and we as that Georgians everywhere
do the same. We need to do a better job
of protecting our soldiers. These these shootings at army bases

(20:23):
or air force bases are happening too many times, and
I'm sure we're going to be hearing about you know,
this might be somebody who has you know, mental illness,
or there needs to be better screening. Then we need
to do a better job. This is uncalled for. One
eight seven seven, Doctor DOLLI don't go away.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
At Hotshot Secret. We share the science behind common diesel
problems in their solutions.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
For example, diesel fuel setane levels.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of

(21:29):
your diesel particulate filter using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
percent less DPF regenerations. The six and one Diesel Extreme
formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on the market,
lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors, and a
fuel stabilizer.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
All right, three year back on the Doctor La Show.
Thank you all for tuning in one eight seven seven
dot dollary one eight seven seven dc d ali.

Speaker 6 (22:33):
So.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Also making headlines is RFK Junior pulling five hundred million
dollars in funding for vaccine development and they are going
to be canceling contracts and pulling funding for some of
the vaccines that are being used for flu COVID nineteen.
And they made this announcement yesterday saying twenty two projects

(22:57):
totaling five hundred million to develop vaccines using mRNA technology
are going to be halted. Now, this has caused a
lot of criticism from the left, but some of us
doctors are wanting to know what are his concerns with
the m RNA technology. Is he that he's halting so

(23:17):
we could get a better grip on side effects. I
like the idea of making sure before we mass mandate
vaccines like we did with the COVID nineteen vaccine, we
could ensure that we know how safe it is, especially
for pregnant women and young kids, et cetera. So I'd

(23:37):
like to get a little bit more information. But from
what we're understanding, he is looking at contracts and he
is not as much of a fan of some of
the studies that are currently going on as it pertains
to the m RNA technology. Kennedy said in a video
that to replace the troubled m RNA programs, we are

(24:00):
prioritizing the development of safer, broader vaccine strategies like whole
virus vaccines and novel platforms that don't collapse when viruses mutate.
Now he's making a point. The mRNA technology is a
fascinating one, but was it really an effective vaccine. I

(24:24):
do believe the COVID vaccine saved lives, but what happened
when there were newer strains, what really gave us immunity?
Was it because many of us got sick anyway despite
the vaccine, but we weren't deathly sick. So we were
able to fight, make immunity, make antibodies, and combine our

(24:47):
natural immunity with the artificial vaccine immunity and now become
a little bit more resilient to COVID. And I think
it's a complex answer on how effective those vaccine were.
I'm glad we had the vaccines, but our mRNA vaccine
technology the panacea of all immunology later and pathogen protection.

(25:14):
So how the mRNA vaccines worked was it told our
cells uh DNA to do a job. A little liposome
particle was able to protect the mRNA. The message of
RNA allow it to get into the cell. The cell

(25:37):
then told the foreman, look, you need to make your
cytoplasm needs to make mRNA. So they they did it.
And then and the mRNA or the mRNA instructions told
that cell to make spike proteins. The cell did it.

(25:58):
The spike proteins were then demonstrated on the cell surface.
Our immune system could take a look at those spike
proteins go oh, okay, we're learning this all right, We're ready.
So that when COVID came with a spike protein, we
were able to already have some antibodies. It's a brilliant technology.

(26:19):
The DNA vectored vaccines that came in like an adenovirus,
like with the astrozenica or the Johnson and Johnson DNA vaccine.
Those told the DNA to make the mRNA and then
the mRNA told the cytoplasm to make the spike protein,

(26:41):
so there was like an extra step with the DNA
vectored ones. Although the DNA vaccines didn't do as well
from a safety profile. We had blood clot issues. So
it's a powerful technology, but we are humbled by some
of the side effects that could happen. And some of
our vaccines that we have, such as the flu shot

(27:03):
that killed and activated vaccine or the live attenuated vaccines,
have been doing pretty well. They're also cheaper to make,
so if it ain't broke, don't fix it, or do
we use the newer technology. Well, the mRNA vaccine that

(27:27):
came out was a new vaccine, but it was older technology.
We've known about mRNA technology for a while. We've been
using it in other aspects of medicine, but the public
finally heard about it, and they got to see for
their own how good an mRNA vaccine worked for me.

(27:48):
It did prevent by getting COVID one year when I
got the booster, but I had side effects for a month.
Thank god, the side effects weren't too serious. I had
left side of chest pain, left sided arm pain swelling,
breast pain, breast swelling on the left side. I was like,
what the hell is this? Had to put off my
mammogram for two months, but I didn't get COVID that year.

(28:13):
So RFK Junior saying, look, I know we're putting a
bunch of money into mRNA vaccine technology and studies, but
let's halt and reassess. I don't have a problem with that.
We've had the live attenuated vaccines which take a virus

(28:40):
lessen its pathogenicity, weaken it, such as the MMR the vericella.
A patient gets it doesn't even our nasal spray flu vaccine.
The nasal spray, not the shot. The patient gets it
starts to make antibodies to a weakened form that doesn't
make them sick. They go, wow, all right, this is great.

(29:02):
I can now fight disease. The inactivated or killed vaccine
is where you killed. Vaccine is where you have virus
that basically is dead, but it has the wall and
the protein structures components. That's our flu vaccine or hepatitis
vaccine or polio vaccine, the shots where our body gets
to see the outer caseine of it. Now, Nova Vaskus,

(29:27):
as it pertained to covid was working on something similar
to that, where you had the little proteins, where as
opposed to your body having to make the proteins by
manipulating mRNA and DNA. The novavax was actually just about
the proteins and using that to induce an immune system.

(29:49):
But and the novavacs, I loved that. I loved the
theory behind it. I just don't know how popular, because
by then everybody was alreadying Pfizer Maderna getting their vaccines.
I think the mRNA technology is going to have a
lot of uses, and I do believe that their vaccines
could be effective. But if we are having some very

(30:16):
large concerns from the population ab outside effects that it's safety,
and they're a lot more expensive than the inactivate and
the live attenuated, we do need to rethink if we
are putting our resources where they need to be. Can
we make a live attenuated or killed vaccine of covid?
I do believe we can make a live attenuated version,

(30:41):
but the problem with covid is it keeps mutating too quickly,
and that was the issue with our mRNA vaccines. We
had to by the time we got the vaccine out,
start working on something for a variant. In fact, I
think even our testing the virus is even escaping some
of our testing because people are testing negative at home,

(31:01):
only to a few tests later finally show a positive.
So while you know people are mad at RFK Junior,
I think him reevaluating and ensuring that these vaccine contracts,
these millions of dollars going to mRNA vaccines is going
to result in in safe vaccines. If he wants to

(31:23):
look at that, I'm fine with that. But let's not
stop progress. Let's still make sure we are working on
vaccines for infectious disease like RSV, flu, covid, et cetera.

thank you all for tuning in. One eight seven seven
Doctor DOLLI one eight seven seven D O C D
A L I. So I think there's still a standstill
in Texas as it pertains to redrawing electoral boundaries. Uh,
the Democratic legislators fled the state, so they want to
be a quorum so they wouldn't have to work and vote,

(34:41):
which is a problem because if taxpayers are paying for
them to be in session and do their work, going
on vacation or running and hiding in Illinois or Indiana
wherever they went, uh is obviously, Uh, you're going to
put them in some hot water for not doing their
job when taxpayers gave them money to do their job.

(35:01):
But this move would flip five seats to Republicans away
from Democrats next year. And this jerry mandarin, which as
I said, started with I believe it was a governor
jerry back in the eighteen hundreds where they redrew a

(35:23):
map and it looked like a salemmander back in eighteen twelve.
And so that's where you get the jerry mandering from.
And so whichever party is in power of the state
legislature can then draw their boundaries to maximize their seat count.
In the twenty twenty four elections, Republicans won twenty five
House races and Texas Democrats took the other thirteen. And

(35:46):
while other states of jerry mandered, Trump has suggested that
now Texas do the same to give them five more seats.
I personally would like to see it at not as partisan.
I think in Canada they use independent commissions to do this,
but in the in the US, it is up to

(36:11):
the states. The Constitution doesn't power states to control their
election boundaries. And so as you see with Illinois, I mean,
they're squiggly lines and actually fascinatingly, Stephen Colbert looks like
starting to read the room. And he actually challenged Illinois
Governor JB. Pritzker on the Jerry Mandarin and that was

(36:35):
kind of interesting to see him. I'm not saying he's
taking a side, but with Steven Colbert losing a show,
as people think, it's because he's only trying to appeal
to us an audience that's anti Trump, which isn't going
to keep your show alive. He actually showed the congressional
map of Illinois to ja Governor Pritzker say, look that

(36:56):
one district look like the stinger on a scorpion. And
he said, if you are considering doing a little more
redrawing in Illinois, you already have some crazy districts in Illinois.
He goes, take a look at this one district's seventeen here,
it does that, then it comes up here and it
sneaks around there and goes all the way up here.
Then it goes right over there like that. And he said,

(37:18):
look at this one kind of a goes whoop up there.
And so Pritzker had, you know, talked about further redrawing
lines to benefit the Democrats once you know this this
subject came out with Texas. But I'm just concerned that
this is it's going to be an absolute mess. And
I mean, look at in California, how there's so many

(37:41):
Republicans that don't feel they have a voice based on
the way the districts are drawn. And you know, and
so I think there should be guidelines. I do agree
that the states you should have control. I like less
federal government, but you know, when a state is always
controlled by one party, then you know they can just

(38:03):
increase power, increase power for that party. And you have
a lot of individuals that want to have a say.
I don't like the idea of red state's blue states
because that starts to lead us closer to a civil
war or a secession or a breakdown of our republic.
Where well, if you live in this state. Your vote

(38:23):
will never count because we're always red. If you live
in this state, your vote never count because we're always blue.
Just move well. No, nobody wants to leave California if
they don't have to. Nobody wants to leave Texas. But
I do find it fascinating that Colbert actually challenged J. D.
Pritzker on this. He said, we've got to fight fire

(38:43):
with fire. He says, they frankly tossed the rulebook out
and they're acting in an unconstitutional fashion. So who did
this first? Well, I think it happened first in Massachusetts
back in eighteen twelve. But if now, as far as
I'm concerned, I'd like to see all the states stop.
But if he stays have been doing it for years,
then what's to stop any more states from doing it?

(39:05):
And if redrawing congressional maps and congressional districts is something
that all these states are doing, then I you know,
is this going to happen every few years? So I
do agree with Governor Abbott that the Democrats need to
do their job. If they are paid to be there
and they are fleeing and not coming to sessions, then

(39:28):
they should be removed. Even if you think your vote,
because what they're trying to do is stall the vote.
If the Democrat legislators aren't there, there's not a quorum,
so nothing gets done. But unfortunately, you know that that
doesn't help the state. You know, if if you know
they there were rules on abortion and things like that,

(39:50):
and the and the legislatures were still there to do
their votes. So you know, make it a stand on this.
I don't know what stands Republicans made, and there was
jerrymanderin in other states. Illinois sends seventeen members to the House,
only three of them are Republicans. In twenty twenty four,
President trumpcy forty three point three percent of the Illinois vote,

(40:14):
suggesting that a map that was more fair would have
added seven GOP House members. So, you know, this is
something that both sides are doing. And I just don't
like Americans not having a voice. I keep hearing people
say let's get rid of the electoral college. No, for
the love of the Lord, do not get rid of

(40:34):
the electoral college. If you do, and you just base
it on popular vote, the New York and California are
going to run the all elections in the future. Iowa
should have an equal say Kentucky, should have an equal
say Alabama, Oregon, Colorado, as it pertains to a voice

(40:56):
in the election. So the games that people play very interesting. Teamsters,
it was historic to see Teamsters not endorse Kamala Harris.
Teamster's president Sean O'Brien explained why Kamala Harris was the
first Democratic presidential candidate the union didn't endorse since nineteen

(41:19):
ninety six. He recalled ol Harris started by demanding an endorsement,
only answered four of their sixteen questions and then said
to them, listen, I'm going to win with you or
without you. Now this is being reported by Real Clear Politics.
Sean O'Brien said, we got the majority of all the
candidates in early and you know the last three were Trump, Biden,

(41:41):
and Harris. Trump came in probably January of twenty four
and then tried to get Biden. And after that he said,
it was dealing with the staff. They were offended that
we would expect him to go through the process. He says.
They were pissed off at that. They were offended that
we asked them. Now, I think the Teamsters has every
right to vet the candidate they want to support. Well

(42:02):
apparently they got blowback. Then they got Harrison there and
she was appalled that we would even ask her to
come in. So cockyness doesn't work. You know, it's interesting
you see these candidates almost grovel for votes and then
all you know, they they get cocky after the election,

(42:23):
but you don't really get cocky before that. And her
thinking that she's gonna win with or without teamsters, well
she was wrong. And you know, I think the vetting
process is important. So we're we're gonna see what happens.
We were coming up on midterms, the midterm elections. The

(42:44):
whole rat race is going to start within six months
and if not already, and I you know, I'd like
to take a breather from elections, but unfortunately not going
to happen. And the House is going to be it's
going to be tight. Now will the Democrats flip it
or will the Republicans be able to keep it? What

(43:04):
I do recommend you do is you make sure you
listen to your constituents. Make sure your constituents are getting
what they want. Make sure constituents feel they have a vote,
feel they have a say, whether they're right left, Democrat, Republican,
independent and don't get cocky and let somebody vet you.
Let them ask the questions, because if you don't answer them,

(43:26):
that's probably a no vote. One eight seven seven doct ully.

create more chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of
elected officials caving in to demands of the radical left,

you're not alone. It's time we stand up and declare
our support for local police. The majority of police officers
