Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from wor Now the wr Saturday
Morning Show. Here's Larry Minty.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Good morning, and welcome to Saturday Morning. On this week's show,
what will it be like? When they announced that Donald
Trump has won the twenty twenty four election on the
streets of New York and across the country. Daily Caller
White House correspondent Reagan Reese has an article on that
very topic entitled what happens if Trump wins? We'll talk
with Reagan in just a few minutes, and an amazing
(00:31):
story of a man with a mission to save lives.
He invented a device to save people from choking to death.
He's already saved thousands. We'll talk with Arthur Lee, the
inventor of life back. But first to look back at
the week that was. Both the candidates gave their closing arguments.
Donald Trump delivered his in New York to a sold
(00:55):
out crowd at Madison Square Garden. This will be America's
new Gold Age. It's gonna happen quickly too. It was
very quickly. It was a great event, but the media
only focused on a bad joke made by roast comedian
Tony Hitchcliff, who took the stage hours before Trump even
(01:17):
showed up.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
There's a lot going on, Like I don't know if
you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island
of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I think it's called Puerto Rico. Okay, all right, Okay,
we're getting there again. Normally I don't follow the national anthem. Everybody, Ah,
this isn't exactly a perfect comedy setup.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
As I said. The media ran with that as if
Trump said it himself. But when CNN's Jake Tapper tried
to bring it up to vice presidential nominee jd Vance,
it didn't go well for Jake.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
But this is the thing, Jake, We've now spent yeah,
five minutes, yeah, talking about people and Donald Trump's staff
who think he's not fit for all He's fired who
we think who They didn't think he was unfit for
office until they had a falling out with him because
he fired them. And we're not talking about the public policy.
We're actually talking about how Americans can't afford grocery. We're
(02:14):
actually we're actually we talk about the fact that Americans
can't afford the cost of housing.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Jd Vance is the star. In the meantime, Kamala is
getting heckled by pro Palestinian protesters.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
We understand the opportunity we have before us turned the
page on the fear.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Kamala has also had to deal with Trump chance at
a rallies. Recently. Speaking of Trump, Mayor Adam says Trump
is not a fascist, even though Kamala Harris claims he is.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
We're asking questions that is someone a fascist or is
someone hit Look, that's insulted to me and I'm not
going to engage in that.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Everyone needs to turn down the rhetoric. And then later
that night another gift to Trump. At the same time
that Kamala Harris was giving her big speech in Washington,
d C. President Biden was on a video conference call
with Latinos who brought up the Puerto Rican joke.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Only garbage I see float Now there is his supporters.
His demonizational scene is unconscionable and it's on America.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
The very next day, Trump was in the front seat
of a garbage truck holding a news conference before his
rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. They shouldn't be talking. That's
like deplorable veil. If this is the deplorable vailery. And
I think this is worse actually for Joe Biden to
make that statement. It's really a distress.
Speaker 8 (03:42):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
The Democrats needed to change the narrative quickly, and so
they jumped all over it. When Trump said at that rally,
they said, Sir, I just think it's inappropriate for you
to say, pay these guys a lot of money. Can
you believe it? I said, well, I'm gonna do it
whether the women like it or not. Why was that
so bad? He was saying he is going to protect
all women, even the ones who don't support him. But
(04:06):
Kamala says, this is what it means.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
He simply does not respect the freedom of women or
the intelligence of women to know what's in their own
best interests and make decisions accordingly.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Won't you be glad when this is all over? And
it will be Tuesday night and I'll be here leading
our coverage on seven to ten wor from seven pm
until whenever. And that's the week that was coming up next.
What is it going to be like across the country
when it is announced that Trump won the election. We'll
(04:44):
talk with Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese next.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Now more of the WR Saturday Morning Show and Larry
Minte Welcome back.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
The mainstream media loves to focus on January sixth, but
ignores the violent riots across the country that lasted several
days after Donald Trump was elected in twenty sixteen. So
what happens if Trump is elected on Tuesday? For that question,
we'll talk with the Daily Callers Great White House correspondent
(05:16):
Reagan Reese, who has an article up on Dailycaller dot
com titled what happens if Trump wins? As always, thanks
for your time, Reagan. So what does happen if Trump
wins this election?
Speaker 8 (05:29):
That is the golden question, and I think something that
you're going to see a lot more of, you know,
as the election draw on years, especially you know, coming
up after the election. So we dug into this with
some reporting and real quick, I think a Washington Post
article really couples with our reporting really well. They spoke
(05:50):
to Harris and Trump supporters who you know, and talk
to them what would happen if Trump won? What would
they do? And Harris supporters, you know, expressed they noted
a more deep and emotional and intense reaction to what
they would do if Donald Trump won compared to how
(06:10):
Trump supporters reacted if Harris won. So, you know, that
plays in nicely to the things that we talked about
in our article that includes protests, law fair you know,
secret Service protection, you know, threats against the president President
Trump if he makes it to the White House again,
(06:31):
would be increased. And we talked about kind of also
what happens to Kamala Harris in the event that she
loses the election. And so, speaking to reporters who have
been on the ground in the twenty sixteen protests, in
the twenty twenty protests both at the Capitol and in
(06:51):
the quote Summer of Love, they are expecting a more
extreme and dangerous reaction this time around if President Trump
does win the election. You know, they said that can
be attributed to the fact that in twenty sixteen, no
one was really prepared for Trump victory, and so that
(07:15):
is why they think that we did not see wider
spread unrest where this time in twenty twenty four, the
country's been seeped in anti trump ism for the last
eight years, and you know, everyone is, you know, ready
for Trump victory. I think that it is very possible
that President Trump could win the election in twenty twenty four,
(07:39):
which could lead to more, you know, planned protests.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Right, So you think that planning is already going on,
and you believe because we had protests in twenty sixteen,
and we also had some violent protests at the inauguration,
and you believe these are going to be worse and
these will be planned.
Speaker 8 (07:59):
So the experts that I spoke to, I asked them
kind of what they are going to be looking for
in the coming weeks, What signs indicate that there could
be this planning of protests, what could lead to widespread
unrest and you know, anything like that. What they pointed
to was Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin's comments regarding whether he
(08:23):
would certify the election, and he said he would certify
the election if you felt it was fair, but if
it wasn't, he was unsure, and so that type of stuff.
You know, these experts that I spoke to pointed to
this and said, you know this, can you know these
are the warning signs that we start to look at
that they are kind of planting the seed that there
(08:45):
could be unrest after the election, that there could be
a challenged election and there could be disagreement over the
election process. If it does come out that President Trump wins.
On November fifth, we're.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Talking with Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese about
her article what happens if Trump wins. You can read
it by going to Dailycoller dot com. And here's how
good Reagan is. I just asked her the other day
if she would come on and do this interview. In
that time, she already has another article up titled Democrats
fight to make elections less trustworthy? Reagan, the fighting in
(09:21):
the courts right now has already started, and in county
election offices, some of the fighting is intense. Tell us
what's going on right now and some of the cases
that have come to the forefront.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
So what that.
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Article touches on is, first of all, this is not
so much law there, but this is legislation. Governor of
California and Gavin Newsom signed a law that is banning
the banning any polling location from checking the from identification
at the polls. And that was all because one town
(09:58):
wanted that to be kind of their standard, and they
responded by signing legislation into law to ban that. But
what we're seeing on the legislation front is the Department
of Justice has already sued Virginia and Alabama over the
purging of their voter roles, because both Alabama and Virginia
(10:20):
have said that they have identified non citizens registered to
vote on their voting roles and that they wanted to
get them off immediately. Both Alabama and Virginia moved to
do such ninety days out from the election, and the
Department of Justice is saying, oh, nope, there is a
(10:40):
law that says you cannot clean your voter rolls ninety
days or closer to the election, and so therefore we're
going to have to have you stop, and you're going
to have to leave those non citizens on the voter roles.
So we're already starting to see these battles between Democrats,
(11:01):
between the DOJ and states over election processes. This is
something I think we can expect to see after the election,
regardless of who wins. On Vice President Kamala Harris's side,
she has already hired, you know, a strong team of lawyers,
and you know, most prominently is Mark Olias, this Democrat
(11:23):
super donor who was known for doing a lot of
the lawsuits in twenty twenty in the wake of the
COVID nineteen pandemic, and so it's you know, indicates to
me that they're gearing up to challenge some election lawsuits.
But also, you know, on the flip side, the R
and C has really spent the last year building out
its election integrity department, which they were unable to have,
(11:48):
you know, since nineteen eighty. They've been under consent to
CAREE since nineteen eighty that barred them from doing any
of this until twenty eighteen. And so this is the
first time that they've really been able to build out
this election integrity department. And so, you know, regardless of
who wins, what the outcome of the election is, we
are most definitely going to see some sort of law there.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I don't know if you heard what's going on in Pennsylvania,
but the attempts to cheat have already started. In Lancaster County,
twenty five hundred voting applications were dropped off, all filled
out by some Democratic canvassers. In Luzerne County, another twenty
five hundred were dropped out. The DAS are looking into it.
In Delaware County, a group of Republican voters were told
(12:34):
they couldn't vote unless they had a good reason, and
one of the women complained and she was arrested. Are
you hearing more of this? I mean, is it going
on in every state? I only know about Pennsylvania.
Speaker 8 (12:46):
I'm going to definitely be paying more attention to this
as in the coming days as the election gets closer.
I think there's going to be a lot more of
these stories.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
You know.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
One thing that I definitely think is going to highlight
these stories, and I expect there to be more of
these stories like we're seeing in Pennsylvania is because the
r and C has really put a focus and an
emphasis on hiring poll watchers and lawyers within every state.
And so the key their strategy is is that you'll
(13:21):
have these poll watchers and these lawyers kind of on
site in these poll locations, and when they, you know,
see something sketchy, they are going to be able to
identify it right there and you know, file the legal
motion they need to file to make it stop to
correct the situation. This is something they haven't really had
in years past, and having lawyers who are familiar with
(13:43):
the state laws and you know the best way to
go about it is something that's going to make them
really strong this time around, and so I definitely suspect
that maybe we'll see more instances some of all of
this popping up across the country, in part because I
think the RNC is kind of staffed up on this
(14:03):
poll watcher and lawyer front.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Hey, Reagan, we're running out of time, But real quick,
what your gut telling you about the election on Tuesday?
Speaker 8 (14:11):
I don't think we're going to know on November fifth.
I'll say that.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Reagan Ree's White House correspondent for The Daily Call wher.
You can read her articles at Dailycoller dot com. As always,
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
Reagan, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Still to come on Saturday morning. The man I am
going to talk to in a few minutes has saved
three thousand lives and counting, and we're finally getting close
to that moment. I'll have some final thoughts on the
election coming up.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Here's Larry Minti with more of the WOOR Saturday Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Welcome back. Over five thousand people in America choked to
death every year, but because of my next guest, those
numbers are going down. Arthur Lee has saved three thousand
lives with his invention. Lifeback, Arthur, thanks so much, Thanks
for joining us. Let's start with the basics. What is
(15:03):
life back and how does it work?
Speaker 9 (15:05):
Like Back is a choking rescue device that if you're
choking in protocol fails, I'm like backblows that you have
an option. It's a simple suction device. It looks like
a sink plunger and just push it. You put it
on the person's face, You push it, give it a
quick tug and it creates a burst of suction. And
when you push it down, the air vents out the
side so it can't push it in. So basically, to
(15:27):
visualize it, it's a plunger, just like you would use
on your sink. You push it, you give it a
quick pull, and it sucks out what's causing the airway obstruction.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And you hit a big milestone this.
Speaker 9 (15:39):
Week, ridiculous milestone. We just got our three thousand live save.
We have over nineteen hundred children and as we're briefly
talking that all those families are still together. Choking is
a fourth leading close accidental death. One child dies every
five days. It's like fourteen people a day, and it's
(16:01):
people don't know that, you know, I didn't know. I'll
do the I'm like and I'll say, my child doesn't
always work. Nothing against it. It's just if you don't
have air, you squish the body, it won't come out.
And we now, for the first time in the history
man have an option when it fails.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
How did you come up with the idea? Was it
something personal?
Speaker 9 (16:22):
It was I was visiting a friend in the hospital
and his mom was having an operation. He's my buddy.
I was just keeping him company and he pointed across
the one of those steel gurneys, which already create gives
me the creeps just thinking about. And he said there
was a seven year old on that gurney that had died,
and it was just quiet me and him in the hospital.
(16:43):
And he explained the noise of the mother and the
staff and him and his mom bawling, and the mother
on the floor sobbing. And my daughter was seven, And
I said, we're in the hospital. They couldn't get it
out there. I'm like the back nothing work. And I
went on that night thinking, as we had discussed about
(17:04):
my daughter, my hands being on that garnie, I said,
that's not happening. And I got to figure something out.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Of the three thousand people that you saved, with Life
Back Have you met.
Speaker 9 (17:17):
Any of them at that I've met many of them,
you know. Just this week I was in Pittsburgh with
families who have lost their children and they are now advocates.
But I've been blessed to meet many of the kids
and a lot of and some of the people, the
elderly people. It's really hard to describe the amazingness of
those moments. I was holding this little boy, Killian, he
(17:40):
was saved just before his first birthday, and I was
holding in my hands and saying, you better be a
good boy. And I looked over and I saw the
parents and the grandparents, and it was dead quiet, And
I've never had such a strong feeling of pure gratitude,
like we were just all grateful that little Killian was there.
(18:01):
And gratitude is an odd feeling that you know, you
don't really acknowledge, right, And it was just showed me
the significance of the perseverance of all the lifebackers.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, it's gotta be so gratifying, though, because I mean
to see the result of your work and and know
you're holding exactly that's what I mean. It's you've tactile
to you. We're talking with Arthur Lee, founder and CEO
of Lifeback. You can learn much more at lifeback dot net. Arthur.
The American Red Cross has announced that with anti choking
(18:33):
devices like LIFEBAC, there are now new guidelines. What does
that mean to Life.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
Back, Well, it was almost surreal. From eleven years of
my garage glued together saying pungs of persevering, medical journals, testing,
et cetera. We saved three thousand lives and we came
across the Red Cross first significant change the protocol in
forty seven years since the Heimlich Most importantly, too, it
says when it can't be done or it's difficult, well, right,
(19:00):
it's the first time in the history of man that
persons with a disability that cannot you can't get your
arms around them in a wheelchair, that brace. There's all
sorts of conditions. Well, you cannot heimlock someone, you cannot
do backblows, they will die. They now have an option.
Early on, there was guy in McDonald's. He was sell Paul's,
(19:21):
a big guy wheelchair.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
He choked.
Speaker 9 (19:22):
No one did anything, they didn't know there was nothing
to do. So not only does everyone, you know, all
the people have a chance, all the people that never
had a chance now have a chance. And the Scientific
Advisory Board of the Red Cross is the world leader
in you know, first aid, so they're acknowledging that this
(19:43):
is now an option, is huge and now we can
save thousands and thousands and thousands of lives, you.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Know, especially now that it's part of the Red Cross recommendations.
I don't understand why this isn't in every school. I
don't get why it's not in restaurants.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
Well, beautiful thing about having me on. I'm so grateful
as awareness people got to know. But you're right that
Red Cross recommendation now says fire, police, restaurants, schools, they
can all rely on the Red Cross, which is what
they use as their foundational first aid protocols to use
a life back. And that's the leap We saved zero,
(20:23):
the first year zero, the second year zero, the third
year six four, six, fifteen, fifty seven, one fifty three,
last year one thousand. This year will be somewhere like
around twenty two hundred lives with this next year for
five thousand.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
How long does someone have when they start about four
minutes about four minutes, and that's the top end.
Speaker 9 (20:46):
Kids sometimes can make it longer just because it's over resilient.
But you know brain damage is going to set in.
It could set in as early as two minutes.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
And so there's plenty of time to go grab a device.
It really is. You know.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
Our recommendation is we've we've had a threefold approach from
the beginning. Education right, watch out for certain foods, don't
let the kids eat, or an attended watch out for
things on the floor. Then get trained, get Red Cross trained,
learn how to do the hemelt, the backblows and protocol CPR,
and then have a life back. We do those things.
I guarantee we've saved lives on awareness and training too, right,
(21:21):
And I'm glad, and I'm sure there's a lot of
unreported life back saves. God bless, I don't have to know. Yeah,
you know, I just changing things that that kid goes
home to the parents from school. We've saved twenty seven
kids in school.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I know you have a book out called Cancer Is
a Lie? You want to talk about that?
Speaker 9 (21:39):
Well, you know it's I think, as we were talking
a little bit, it's a foundational theory book.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
It's pretty goofy.
Speaker 9 (21:48):
I mean, I have theories that have influenced me, from
the Little Rascals to my dad, to my uncle to
a movie. Things that create your foundational principles that make
life easy. Once you know that you do the right
thing and don't worry about it. It helps. When you
know that you can overcome, you can recover and move forward,
(22:09):
it helps. And it's it's a very simple books. It's
written like by you know, fifth grader that I tend
to be. But I've gotten some amazing reviews on Life Changing.
You know how one of those stories hit home and
has helped someone.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
So I'm excited about it now. If somebody wanted to
get the book or learn more about the book, if
somebody wants to get life back or learn more about
Life Back, they just go online.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Yeah life back Dot that you get the book there too,
Please Life back First. It's don't worry about the book.
It could help you, but it's not going to save
your life in four minutes. But yeah, lifeback Dot and
that book can get on Amazon. But my encouragement is,
you know, if you have a young child, you're taking
care of me now that you live alone. These were
all high risk problems, you know, Parkinson's MS. We saved
(22:59):
someone to Parkinson today affects you're swallowing. Consider a Life back, right.
I made it last forever, so you buy it once.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
You don't have to get oneevery year when.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
It expires, because if my dad would have killed me,
covers adults and children, and if you use it, we
give you a free one. So get it throwing under
your sink. God bless hoping them and need it.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
How incredible is that to be able to say we
saved someone today?
Speaker 9 (23:22):
It's ridiculous. I add for today, I just my hair
standing up. It's radio you can't see, which is good.
But it's just as we talked about, all those families
on a pain, they're all playing with their kids today
and you wouldn't believe the things we've pulled out of kids.
We caught hot dogs and we watch our kids and
that's great. Pieces of plastic, leaves, toys, hair clips. Kids
(23:47):
will choke on anything.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Arthur Lee, founder and CEO of Lifeback. You can learn
much more about it at lifeback dot net. My final
thoughts are next.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Back now to ther Saturday Morning Show with Larry Minti.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
And now some final thoughts. We are finally at the
finish line after a presidential campaign for the history books.
The sitting president had to drop out of his race
for re election when his own party turned on him
after this disastrous debate performance.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary
person eligible for what I've been able to do with
the with the COVID, I excuse me, with dealing with
everything we have to do with Look, if we finally.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Beat medicare, thank you, President Biden. President Trump was ready.
He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death, and
he's destroying Medicare. That was the moment the campaign changed
as the Democrats collapsed in the polls, so they held
a coup and forced Biden out and moved in Vice
President Kamala Harris. She never got one primary vote. Even
(25:05):
when she ran in twenty twenty, she didn't get one,
not one vote. She was coronated. The same vice president
who was considered a failure is now the Democratic nominee.
The Wall Street Journals Bill mcgern couldn't believe it.
Speaker 10 (25:22):
Kamala Harris likes to say we talk about being unburdened
by the past, but I think she's very much burdened.
You know, a month ago people were saying the only
worst choice in Joe Biden was Kamala Harris because their
approval ratings were so low. And now suddenly she's a savior, But.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
The savior is burdened by the past. She was part
of the administration that oversaw record inflation, record crime, and
embarrassing withdrawal from Afghanistan, an open border that has wreaked
havoc on America and America's involvement in two wars. She
owns all that.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Just ask her, would you have done something differently than
President Biden during the past four years?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
There is not a thing that comes to mind. She
brags about being the last person in the room on
every decision for Afghanistan, the border, the war. She failed,
and so what would she do differently? She won't say,
she won't hold a news conference, and she filibusters in interviews.
We do know what she wanted to do when she
(26:30):
ran for president eight years ago. She wanted to decriminalize
illegal border crossings. And when she was asked this during
an NBC primary debate, raise your.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Immigrants, Kamala's hand went up. She also said without equivocation
that she would ban fracking nationally.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
So yes, Fracking in the most important swing state of
Pennsylvania provides hundreds of millions of dollars to the state
coffers keeps down taxes and employees thousands. And she was
part of the movement to defund police departments or is
she called it.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
I think that a big part of this conversation really
is about reimagining how we do public safety in America,
at which I support.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Reimagining safety is a ridiculous euphemism for defunding the police.
This list could go on and on. Kamala Harris is
trying to hide who she is to get elected. Her
voting record was the most liberal in the US Senate,
more liberal than Bertie Sanders, and her running mate Tim
(27:49):
Walls has been ranked as the most liberal governor in
the country. Republican Wyoming Senator John Barrasso sounded the alarm
during the Democratic convention, calling it the most radical ticket
in the history of the country.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
They have said, if they take the White House, the House,
and the Senate, which is why the Senate is so
important here, that they're going to do three things. One
is they're going to add new states to the Union,
the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico with four new
very liberal senators. They say they will immediately add four
new young liberal members of the Supreme Court, changing the
(28:24):
makeup of the court significantly. And they're going to revolutionize
voting in this country, making it possible for more illegal
immigrants to vote because they're going to want to get
rid of voter ID.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
