Speaker 1 (00:11):
You are about to listen to the Doctor Dahlia show,
sassy 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 are Magham Doctor DOLLI you should thank
you all for tuning in.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
One eight seven seven Doc Dolly one eight seven seven
DC d Ali. So a few of you have been
pretty grumpy because you have felt sick. You thought you
had the flu, or you thought you had aller cheese,
or you thought you had COVID. You go online talk
to a telemedicine physician and they say you have something
different than what you thought you had. And then you

(01:01):
tell me how the hell do they know? And then
how do I know? How do you know if you
have the flu? How do you know if you have COVID?
How do you know if it's allergies, simple cold, pneumonia?
How do you tell the difference? Now, how I was
trained in medical school is if I needed a test
to test you, I uh was incompetent. Our attendings would

(01:28):
be furious when we would say okay, person comes out
with abdominal pain, lack of appetite, fever. We need to
do a cat scan, Like, what's your diagnosis? Well, I
think I could be a pedicite, is it could be
a secle diverticulite.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's gonna be this and that. They go.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
If you can't make the diagnosis without a scan, then
you're not worth your you know, your your scrups.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
You you got it.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
You need to be able to uh, you know, come
up with a decent diagnosis. And this is why telemedicine
has been able to grow and be accepted. One is
it's very convenient for patients. Two, it's a heck of
a lot cheaper, as insurance companies are pivoting people to
tell a medicine as opposed to the.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Urgent care and er.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
But also we do have the ability to narrow a
lot of things down by history. The thing is is
you need history and physical I really really think the
physical part of it is still extremely important. And because
of liability and because we have lawyers who like to sue, yeah,
because that's what they do, we do need to run

(02:33):
tests to back us up and to protect our you know,
protect our libel butts, and to.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Protect our patients. So if you're sick and you're like, well,
what do I do? Now? Do I wait it out?
Sometimes waiting it out is.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Not advantageous because if you have the flu, as we've
talked about, we need to get you on an anti
flu medication within the first forty eight hours ideally.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Because once you wait five days the virus.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
You know, when you get the flu virus, the virus
comes in, takes over a cell, hijacks the cell, makes
the cell then make new viral particles. Those viral particles
the babies go to new cells, make those cells manufacture
more viral particles. So by the time it takes over
a good amount of your cells, then your body notices it.

(03:22):
You start to feel sick pretty abruptly. But by then
the virus is already out and has already infected a
lot of cells. So at onset of symptoms, we need
to try to catch it early.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
After three four days.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
It's debatable if the antivirals will work, and many doctors
will not treat you. They'll say, well, it's articulate, you
got to write it out. Let's make sure you don't
have any flu related consequences. Is I think We just
had a person die in North Carolina from flu related illness.
Not so much a flu killed him, but he might
have gotten pneumonia or heart disease. I have to look
at the case study. But we're hearing somebody from flu.

(04:01):
What exactly happened. Hopefully we'll get some details soon. So
you need to kind of make a judgment call. So
how I look at the difference of all of these
is flu hits you like a ton of bricks pretty
damn quickly.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
You could tell me the time of day.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Well, I woke up, ate breakfast, went to work, had
a meeting at ten thirty, went back to my desk,
and then I started to feel bad at about eleven
twenty two. I mean, you could almost tell me the
time a day. And when it hits, it hits hard.
You got the high fever, you got the coughing, the headache,
the body aches, the sneezing, sometimes sore throat, sometimes nausea, vomiting.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
You get a whole bunch of symptoms.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Pretty abruptly, and it evolves over the next few hours.
And it's pretty quick in terms of a symptom onset.
And then you just want to lie down and you
feel like. You know, once a person said they feel
like the S word, I knew it.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Was a flu. That's how I diagnose it. COVID a
little different. Now.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Some people, you know, might not feel it until they finally,
you know, the dust settles, you know, in their day.
But with COVID, oftentimes the fever doesn't get high right away,
and the onset of symptoms is it evolves a little
bit more, and so you might start off with a
sore throat, you might start off.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
With the headache, then the next day the cough comes.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
So it.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Has a more a slower onset.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
For some people, it might hit them quickly, especially if
they didn't you know, they weren't aware of their symptoms.
Some people are pretty tough cookies. But COVID, and I'm
not saying this is for everybody, right, but COVID sometimes
differs from flu, and that respect, you still should get
both of them checked out, because with COVID, you have
a five day window to get started on medication. Like

(05:57):
the PACKSLVID or the multipeervior of the time, we're using
pack SLOVN pack SOVI.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
It's a five day treatment that.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Can hopefully mitigate the severe symptoms of COVID and minimize
your having long term COVID symptoms.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Flu you usually get.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Better within five to seven days, unless you get a
pneumonia or heart disease. With covid, it could go on
for weeks. It's more insidious allergies. You don't usually have
colored mucus. It doesn't necessarily hurt when you sneeze or
hurt when you cough.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
It's cyclical. You might have multiple sneezing episodes.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Feel you can feel fatigued, you can feel wheezy, It
can restrict your breathing, but usually with allergies you don't
have a fever. Allergies can be very serious in terms
of causing you to go into an asthma exacerbation, putting
you at risk for pneumonia and other infections. But with

(06:57):
allergies and fall, allergies are a thing. A lot of
people are now dealing with allergies and changes in their breathing.
You know that doesn't necessarily need to be treated with
an antiviral. That might be needed to be treated with
anti antihistamines and anti allergy medications. Pneumonia, that's a tricky
one because we definitely don't want to miss that pneumonia

(07:19):
is where you can have severe cough, chest pain, difficulty breathing, fever,
sometimes a low grade fever, sometimes a high grade fever,
sometimes no fever, but with your lungs sound crackly and
make noise when we examine you, you know, we oftentimes
we'll do a chess X ray or you know, base
it on exam. Uh, these are things Again, I don't

(07:41):
want you at home trying to figure out if you
have or not. Get yourself checked out, and I hope

So the Democrats are just digging themselves into a deeper

(10:40):
deeper hole. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had boasted how
with the shutdown.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Every day gets better for.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Us, and dragging on now into day nine is definitely
not making him any friends or making the Democrats look good.
While we have Trump, you know, trying to negotiate peace
in the Middle East, got hostages home, work on making
the more secure Middle Eastern future, trying to rid Iran

(11:15):
of nuclear weapons and securing the border and strengthening the
economy and bringing money in. You have Democrats who are
still crying over spilled milk, you know, crying over licking
their wounds over the election, saying, you know what, if
we pull the plug on this presidency, that is a
win for us. So shutting down the government to them

(11:40):
is pulling the plug on Trump. So Trump can't work.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Trump is gonna work. He is going to continue to
work now. So that's not going to be successful in
any means.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
And in terms of them thinking, well, we're going to
get them to negotiate on Obamacare, we're gonna get some wins,
you know, the continuing resolution to temporarily fund the government.
And by the way, there's a temporary which means we're
gonna be dealing with this again next year. Now, it's
this is not the time to start negotiating the nooks
and crannies of you know what illegals get what what

(12:17):
you know, Medicaid recipients get what that That's not what
this is. Okay, Congress can at any time make a bill,
make a resolution, can vote on things. That's but what
the Democrats want to do is hold Republicans hostage to
try to get what they want because the mid terms
are coming in. Chuck Schumer has a big election coming

(12:38):
and so you know, I know the Democrats are like, well,
the Republicans own. In fact, I was getting news alerts
where they said Republican owned Senate fails to end the shutdown. Well, uh,
the Republican dominating. Okay, listen, they need sixty votes. You know,
you can twist it any way you like. It's the

(12:59):
Democrats not signing the cr and I think it's getting
more obvious. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Democrats gon
to care less whether their military families and miss a
paycheck tomorrow. In an interview posted this morning, the Democratic
leader said every day gets better for us. He says,
this isn't a political game. Democrats might feel that way,
but I don't know of anybody else that does. The
longer this goes on, the more the American people realize

(13:21):
that Democrats own this shutdown. So the Hill is reporting
that Foon cited a morning console poll showing Democrats or
getting more blamed for the shutdown. The poll showed forty
three percent of voters blame Republicans for the shutdown, while
thirty eight percent blamed Democrats, but the number of respondents
who blamed Democrats was now up six points compared with
an earlier poll. Now that's still showing people think this

(13:44):
is the Republican's fault. And that's messaging, you know, from
the Democrats, and it's I I don't want to be biased,
but I think it is so obvious who's causing this.
You know, I've looked at the cr if it's identical
to previous ones that Democrats have voted on. Really, what's

(14:04):
the problem now with it? It's not that, it's just
they want to use this opportunity to make some headway
with some of the things that they want and and it's, uh,
it's getting ridiculous. And my concern is is it's not
a good look for any of us, Republican or Democrat.
I mean, we got a lot of work to do,

(14:26):
and Trump is getting a lot of work done, and
I mean this this, you know, Uh, the ceasefire and
peace plan to get the hostages home and to to
get Hamas out of control in Gaza, which is going
to free Palestinians from Hamas.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Huge. We got a lot of work to do. We
need our military.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
If Hamas starts to act up, if you know, if,
if you know Iran, if North Korea, China. The last
thing we want to look like is that we're divided,
or we're stupid and really hutting down the government they
think is a smart idea. It's embarrassing, especially since it's

(15:09):
so obvious what they're doing now. I am concerned about
our healthcare system. Obamacare is a nightmare. It is an
absolute nightmare, and it destroyed the healthcare system I knew
and trained in.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
And now we are dealing with high deductibles.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
We're dealing with a subsidy system where if insurance companies
raise their premiums, no big deal, we will give them
more money. What kind of a system is that?

Speaker 6 (15:51):
Now?

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Insurance companies and their defense is well, what do you
want from us? We're paying for cancer, We're paying for
high blood pressure, cholesterol, we're paying for obesity drugs, and
Obamacare does not incentivize people to sign up for insurance
when they're well. So the majority of our patients are
sick and they're not paying the premiums, enough premiums to cover.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
All the medical we're spending on them. It's a mess.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
We do need to fix Obamacare. We need to actually
throw out Obamacare and start over. Unfortunately that won't happen.
What you know, Kathleen Sabilius and Obama and everybody else
had done. Nancy Pelosi is designed to build where it's
like cutting the red wire. It would implode our healthcare
system now that everything is I mean, look at your

(16:43):
average doctor do my office? Can you go to my
office and see me? No, doctors are employees now and
you're lucky if you get to see the same one.
So here's Chuck Schumer bragging about how every day is
good for them. Yeah, they want they they they're thinking

(17:06):
that if they could make a shutdown go for months,
they could say, you see what happened with the Republicans.
The problem is is the average American is not stupid.
If they're seeing that Trump is working and there's i
mean Trump is working every day and they're seeing he's
getting stuff done, they might not like you know, the
illegal immigrants being you know, deported. And you know, it's

(17:26):
interesting because I saw somebody's quote quote scripture saying that
we're supposed to like our our immigrants and welcome them
and welcome people of other lands. And listen, you know,
we as a country have an immigration process.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
So does Canada, so do Japan, so to Germany.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
We have immigration processes, but if somebody violates it, it
is our duty to make sure that those doing it right,
you know, have those protections where that immigration plant is
a place. Look at how what happened under Biden ruined
it for everybody else. Now it's a lot harder to
get into the country, there's a longer wait. If Biden

(18:10):
wouldn't have let the border be so loose with so
many illegal immigrants coming across. We want to be in
this mess. And when people say, oh my gosh, Trump
is deporting illegal immigrants, well if you look at Canada's
deportation rules are even stricter. You provide misinformation, you come
across illegally, you're out. Why aren't people protesting Canada, Well,

(18:35):
because Canada doesn't have to mass deport because they didn't
have a mass influx. They didn't let that happen. I mean,
I was in Israel taking my mom to see it
for the first time.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
You bet your butt.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
They wanted to make sure they knew when I was
coming and when I was leaving. They also want to
make sure if I was a citizen, because you know,
with my name. They're like, and because I'm half is rarely, well,
you know, we might need you. Hey, you know, are
you sure you're not a citizen? I like, no, No,
this isn't of America. God bless America.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Then they saw my mom and they're like, yeah, you
know what, both of you. I think it's better you
go back to America. But but you couldn't get into
the country.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Out of the country without there being that specification of look,
you know, I'm not here to you know, sneak across
the border or.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Take advantage of And I get it. I get it.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
We have some bad, bad, bad bad countries and bad
bad people out there hurting individuals where they want to
seek asylum, and America gratefully is taking those people in.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
But we just can't take on the whole world.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
And when we saw Americans and veterans and people suffer,
when you saw homeless veterans get kicked out of their
shelters because they had to make room for illegal migrants.
Come on, there's you know, I want to help everybody.
I don't care what your legal status is. As a doctor,
I want to be there for everybody. But at some point,
you got a triage. We only have X amount of money,

(20:02):
we only have X amount of shelters, we only have
X amount of hospital beds, and we got to do
this right. And so I don't know what's gonna happen
with this shutdown. I think the Democrats are going to
still try to hold the line. It's going to take
people complaining.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Many of the federal.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Workers though, who are furloughed, you know, they might complain
if they really need their paycheck because they're working paycheck
to paycheck.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
But for those people said, look it's a paid vacation.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
You know, it's you know, there's people who are really
affected by this are gonna have to complain one eight
seven seven doct ally.

Speaker 7 (21:01):
At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
problems in their solutions.

Speaker 8 (21:06):
For example, diesel fuel setan levels.

Speaker 7 (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

(21:30):
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. Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme is available in

(21:51):
nationwide at truck stops, fine Farm in autostores and online
at Hotshotsecret dot com.

Speaker 8 (21:57):
Hot Shot Secrets cowed by such.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
We are not not Adalicia.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Thank you all for tuning in one eight seven seven
Docodali one eight seven seven d O c d ali
so CNN is reporting that a man in China lived
over one hundred and seventy days after getting transplanted with
a pig liver. Now we have been trying to use

(22:43):
organs from pigs because pigs are easy to breed, they
have a lot of similarities to humans, and they Yeah,
organs can be pretty sturdy. We've used pig valves for hearts.
But a liver, that's a pretty juicy organ that has.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
To work right.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
And doctors in China say they transplanted a genetically modified
pig liver into a seventy one year old man who
lived one hundred and seventy one days after the procedure,
and thirty eight of those days were with the pig
organ in place. Okay, so that means he only lived

(23:24):
thirty eight days.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
With the liver.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Scientists have said, according to CNN, that they have had
early success transplanting genetically modified pig kidneys and hearts into humans.
Pig livers have been translated and transplanted to people who
were brain dead, but experts in the field of zeno transplantation,
meaning using animal organs and people, have had some concerns
about whether the liver was realistic. Liver is pretty complicated,

(23:50):
So I call it a juicy organ because that has
a lot of functions, very juicy enzymes, filter, it's a
you know, I mean you know to to you know,
make a trichea.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
You'll make an outside of an ear. You know, that's
one thing. I mean a valve.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
A valve has to work mechanically, but it doesn't necessarily
have to exude things and function and process and metabolize.
So a liver is juicy, and for them to be
able to have somebody live thirty eight days with the
organ in place and one hundred and seventy one days
after the procedure is huge. Liver filter's blood removes toxins

(24:35):
and waste, processes nutrients, detoxifies harmful substances like alcoholic drugs.
It produces bio that gets stored in your gulp ladder
to help with digestion. Also produces proteins that help blood
clod regulates blood sugar, helps increase glucagon when your sugar
is low to help you make sugar. So there's there's

(24:55):
a lot of things that the liver does. CNNA is
reporting that last year Dutch pen Medicine did the world's
first known successful external liver perfusion using a gene edited
pig organ. Blood from a brain dead patient circulated through
a pig liver outside the person's body in that case,
the pig liver showed no signs of inflammation the seventy

(25:16):
two hours it was tested, and the patient's body remained stable.
The transplanted pig liver given to a brain dead patient
in China in March of twenty twenty four was removed
at the family's request ten days after surgery. There had
been no signs of immune rejection or accumulation of inflammation,
so experts say this A new study that was published

(25:36):
in the Journal of Hepatology. Hepatology's study of liver suggests
that to human liver transplantation shows promise, and it shows
promise for use as a bridge to help a human
who has a serious liver condition. And we have millions
of people suffer with liver disease where they could live
long enough to either recover with their own liver or

(25:59):
to be able to to wait for a donor liver
to come available. So when people look at these and go, well,
wait a second, the person's not able to live. They're
undergoing an expensive procedure and it only was able to
last thirty eight days or that could be enough until
a human liver is available.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
So plus you know the liver can heal.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
You have the left lobe of the liver as well,
you have the right I mean, you have extra liver
tissue that could maybe regenerate to the point where it
could do what it needs to. And so having that
extra help is huge. They say more than one hundred
thousand people are on organ transplant waiting lists in the
US and nine thousand are waiting for a liver. And

(26:50):
with the liver, it's tricky because you know, with the kidney,
at least some people have two kidneys, you could give one,
like Seleida Gomez was able to get one from somebody
who donated kidney to her, although it turns out the
donor was not invited to her wedding, so that has
caused some drama. But you know, but you know, you
having two kidneys, you could donate one.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
With liver, that's tricky.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
We have a family member who has had autoimmune disease,
but after he got his second Maderna shot, the next day,
he goes into liver failure. Now the doctors do not
think it was the Maderna shot. They think he just
had coincidental liver failure. But he needed a liver at

(27:33):
the time. With COVID. We had people who were dying
of COVID that had organs they could donate, but they
couldn't give an organ of a COVID patient to somebody
because COVID was killing unless they were vaccinated.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
And so my family member was able to.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
Get the liver from a young man who died of
COVID and asthma complications, whose liver was pretty healthy.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Because my family member had the vaccine.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Even though there's been some question, you know, did the
vaccine accelerate?

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Who knows?

Speaker 3 (28:21):
So the you know, uh, and and our family members
still doing a live and well a few years later.
So human liver transplants can save lives, but one has
to be available, and it's got to be the right time.
The stars have to be aligned, and it's yeah, livers

(28:43):
are the second biggest need after kidneys, according to the
US Health Resources and Services Administration, And so we need kidneys,
we need livers because the liver failure, kidney failure, heart failure,
new hearts are important. But it's you know, they're they're
they're just tougher to get the problem is our our
organ donation system has issues. Rfk JR has announced a

(29:06):
historical crackdown on our quote unquote broken organ donation system.
He wants reforms as there have been reports of individuals
being prepped for donor surgery when they technically weren't bring dead.
I mean, these are things that are kind of scary,
and so HHS Secretary said, every American to feel safe

(29:30):
becoming an organ donor and giving the gift of life.
He says, ye had decades of ignored patient safety concerns
have driven more and more Americans off the donor list. Today,
under President Trump's leadership, we are taking bold action and
historic action to reseve trust in the organ procurement process.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
This was I believe two weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
So they are going to decertify an organ procurement organization
mid cycle, and they say the Life Alliance organ Recovery Agency,
based in Miami, Florida, according to Fox News and Rfkay Jr. Says,
has a long record of deficiencies directly tied to patient harm.
Staffy shortfalls alone may have caused as many as eight

(30:11):
missed organ recoveries each week, roughly one life lost each day. Now,
Kennedy has a nephew, Michael, who had serupa palsy died
at the age of twenty. His organs went on to
save multiple lives. Arfgay Junior is pro organ donation. He says,
it's an extraordinary gift and we'll give meaning to our lives.
No matter how different we are on the outside, we're

(30:32):
all the same inside, and we could give the gift
of life to each other. Well, you know, understandably we
can reject another human's organ, so it has to be
typed and and you know, as as genetically close as possible.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
But yes, he's right, we can't give the gift of life.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
So we need more organ donors. And many individuals are
concerned because of religious reasons.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Now you have to be whole with.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
The coming to Christ or with the uh, the coming
to the Lossiah. And you know, many people are concerned about,
you know, not having organs, and it's you know, it's
a personal decision. And you know, we the last thing though,
we want people fearful of, is that somebody's gonna call
it or not do CPR because they're an organ donor.
That's not and it's it's scary because that's what people think.

(31:21):
They think somebody says, well, well, well they're an organ donor.
Oh Okay, we need organs.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
All right, let's call it ten for two am. I
mean that that should not happen.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
I have never seen that happen, but that's what people
are concerned about. So we do need to restore trust
and I guess grow more picks one eight seven seven

Speaker 2 (34:17):
All right, we are back on the Doctor lay Show.
Thank you all for tuning in.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
One eight seven seven Doctor DOLLI one eight seven seven
D O C D A L I.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
So a couple of bits of breaking news.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
President Trump as expected and predicted, we'll be going to
the Middle East to celebrate hopefully this historic peace deal.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
I think what he did was absolutely incredible.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Was the first person in a long time to be
able to get other countries to care uh and get
the hostages out and demilitarize Hamas and a free Palestine
from Hamas control. And so this is huge. I think
Trump should be in the Middle East when this happens.

(35:00):
I think there's gonna be a lot of photo ops.
This is a huge, huge deal, getting everybody who worked
together on this, you know, to to actually see Israel
work side by side with Katar and with other countries.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
It's it's huge.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
It's you know, and the Hamas massacre that killed twelve
hundred people to two hundred and fifty one hostages, killing
most of them with only twenty possibly still alive bodies
of others still in Hamas control.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Getting those individuals back is huge.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
The president will be speaking at the Kanesset, which is
Israel's House of representatives.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (35:36):
They asked him to speak at it, and he agreed
to it, and you know he is uh uh.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
This is a huge, huge win, you know. And uh so.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
The hostages coming back, you know, we were hoping that
they would be released this week, but you know, I
think Hamas is stalling and you know, they're waiting for
Israel to move back, you know, to another They have
like three zones where Israel moves back there's a ceasefire.
After twenty four hours of the ceasefire, they start to release.
They're saying, well, they may not be able to find
all the bodies. They better not play games. The initial

(36:09):
reports was we were gonna see the hostages home hopefully
by Saturday or Sunday. Now we're being told it might
be Monday or Tuesday. So I just the sooner the better.
I am just hoping that Hamas is going to have
seventy two hours to return all the hostages after the
ceasefire ends, twenty four hours after the after the Israeli

(36:31):
government approvals. So once Israel approves that ceasefire, that twenty
four o'clock starts ticking once at twenty four hours is
over of the ceasefire. Then Hamas has seventy two hours,
and I am sure they are going to try to
milk that for every second they have Hamas is disgusting,
but gotta hold my tongue because we got to get
the hostages back. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt came together. Getting

(36:53):
these other countries to give a damn and to help
out when no other countries would is huge. Trump organized that,
and so yes, I think you should be in the
Middle East. There's gonna be a lot of photo ops
for this. This is huge, This is historic and it's
uh definitely well done. One eight seven seven Doctor Dali

(37:16):
one eight seven seven d C D A l I.
We also have I R S. The I r S
is open during the shutdown. I think there are are
some employees that were furloughed, but we're being told that, yes,
the I R S is working.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
And one thing they have done.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Which I think is going to help a lot of
people is announcing new federal income tax brackets, and so
this is supposed to help and provide relief as the
tax brackets are accounting for inflation, so this update was
released today. The i R s the raised income threshold
across all tax brackets, meaning you'll be paying higher taxes

(37:56):
if you make more money, but but your you won't
pay that higher tax if your income is still it
doesn't fall into that. So raising the tax brackets and
raising the thresholds mean less people pay higher taxes. So

(38:16):
the IRS usually updates these brackets in October or November
to quote prevent something called they call bracket creep, where
inflation pushes taxpayers into higher rates and forces them to
pay more.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
In April, the top federal rate.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Of thirty seven percent is now applied to individuals making
more than six hundred and forty grand and married couples
earning over seven hundred and sixty eight thousand, seven hundred
and twenty twenty six. So this isn't the money you
made this year. This will be the clock starts for
next year. That is a two point five percent jump
in the current thresholds. They also booster the standard deduction,

(38:51):
the amount Americans can automatically subtract from their taxable income.
Married couples filing jortly jointly canal deduct thirty two thousand,
two two hundred now that is up from thirty one thousand,
five hundred. This year, single fires get sixteen thousand, one
hundred that they get the duct compared to fifteen thousand,
seven hundred and fifty, both increases of two point two percent.

(39:12):
Heads of households will get a twenty four thousand, one
hundred and fifty dollars deduction instead of twenty three thousand,
eight hundred and fifty, up one point three percent. So
you can definitely look up the tax brackets. I don't
know if the IRS website is up because the lockdown,
but Daily Mail and multiple other news outlets are posting these.
For those people that make up to twenty three thousand,

(39:35):
eight hundred and fifty, their ten percent tax bracket is
still there. But you know, you're many of those individuals
may not necessarily be, you know, paying taxes because of
their their lower income. But in terms of the UH,
the wealthiest UH those making over six hundred twenty six
thousand singly singularly are once getting the thirty seven percent

(39:58):
thirty five percent tax bracket for those making two undred
fifty grands to six c twenty six grand individually, and
then there's a thirty two percent.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Tax bracket twenty four to twenty two.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
So seniors are also going to have a temporary tax
eduction of up to six thousand dollars for people eight
sixty five and older. Okay, that is huge, especially since
senior's rent is going up.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
They're medications what medicare covers.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
So the One Big Beautiful Bill does provide a temporary
tax deduction of up to six thousand for people aged
sixty five and older. And so they say, many Americans
are going to be able to keep more money of
their paycheck. Fewer will find themselves push into a higher
tax bracket because their wages rose with inflation.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Yeah, because that's kind of a double whammy.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
You know, you're paying more, so you're asking your employer
to pay you more. You might have cost of living increase,
your player pays you more. And now because you're in
that tax bracket, you have to pay higher taxes. So
I think it is right. I think they should raise
those levels absolutely. Now, it would be nice to have
a job that does pay six.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Hundred thousand a year. If that is kind of nice,
that's wow. Yeah. Oh, if you can.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Find a job like that, please tell me the IRS
also adjusted long term capital gains limits, the estate and
gift tac obsception eligibility for the earned income tax credit.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
I'll peck to inflation.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Now, the IRS, I think had to furlough half its workforce,
so refunds might be slow, slower taxpayer assistance. And I
know a lot of people are like good, the IRS
is furload, but only half of them. So for though,
if they still want to go after you, they're going
to go after you, so trust me on that. But

(41:42):
forty thousand IRS employees are remaining working. The majority of
the operations are closed. Taxpayers with an October fifteenth extension
deadline are advised to submit their returns as planned. One
of you asked me about that you had a and
I'm not. This isn't a money show, but I do
welcome all questions. Yes, I had to look it up.
The October fifteenth. The deadline is not changing from what

(42:05):
we understand. So if you have not filed your taxes
like you were supposed to do in April and you
got an extension all the way to October one, you're
pretty lucky.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
That's kind of nice.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
But two, you might want to get the step in
and get going on on that one and get that
taken care of. I gotta tell you, you know, we our
accountant did one time. I have to do that because
he was busy. You know, we got all our stuff in,
but it wasn't you know, two months in advance, with
three months in advance.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
I told my.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
Husband, I go get it in soon. Otherwise we got
to do an extension. He's like, tax isn't isn't till April?

Speaker 2 (42:42):
I got no, no, no. These accounts have a lot to do.
They got a lot of the plate.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
They you can't be dropping stuff off into March otherwise
they need to And I think that's nice that you
could file for an extension in the meantime. However, because
the lockdown, we're seeing air traffic controllers, air traffic control
towers have issues staffing.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
In fact, we're being told that there are a lot
of delays.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
We're seeing thousands of flights delayed because multiple airports are
running behind schedule. Disruption is affecting New York to California
and Florida runway congestion. There's also government there's also you
know weather in some areas, but of course the government shutdown,
we're being told by Daily Mail that LaGuardia has forty
five minute delays Philly fifteen minute weights, which actually isn't

(43:26):
not bad for Philly, but still packtor patients one eight
seven seven doct belly.

Speaker 10 (43:52):
Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting
and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
Or abolishing the police.

Speaker 10 (44:01):

chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of elected officials
caving in to demands of the radical left, you're not alone.
