Iran thinks they have the upper hand. Using a gun to defend yourself? Right to kill is growing. Doctors don’t want patients to read test results with AI… they’re doing it anyway. Families are going to drastic lengths to buy basic groceries.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listen Saints k I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
The bill handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio app
is KFI AM six forty bill handle Here. It is
a Monday morning, August tenth. As we oh, yesterday was
Nagasaki Day, and I didn't have a chance to I
(00:27):
think I talked about the atomic weapon being dropped on
both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was eighty one years ago
that it happened. The atomic the only time atomic weapons
have ever been used in war United States against Japan
in nineteen forty five. Okay, now what's going on in Iran?
(00:48):
Here's the latest that the latest demands that Iran is
making for reopening the strait is well that the United
States has two immediate withdrawed's forces not only from that area,
but completely forces gone out of the Middle East, and
(01:08):
we have to stop by any sanctions, release the sanctions,
release the money that the United.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
States has frozen, and pay Iran.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I would guess hundreds of billions of dollars for the
damage that the United States has caused Iran by the bombing.
And so that's the latest. Well, of course, the United
States can't comply with that because that is a complete surrender.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
So what's going on?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
How come Iran hasn't come to the table, and why
hasn't the President bombed Iran after the quote cease fire
which was really never a ceasefire. He has promised seven
eight times if they don't comply, I'm going to bomb
them into oblivion, I'm going to destroy Iran completely. And
(01:55):
then well, I'm going to do it next week, and
then the timeline goes, well, I'm going to do it
the week after that, and then that timeline goes and
then Okay, I'm going to do it this way and
I'm gonna bomb that way. And none of that has happened,
and so they've switched. Now the administration realizes, uh h,
this is not going to happen. They cannot continue on.
(02:18):
So the US is now saying, Okay, we're not gonna bomb,
We're going to do this economically. We are going to
sanction them. We're going to make it untenable for Iran
to continue, and we're going to do it on economic rounds.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Or what happened to the bombing?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Well, the administration is deflecting completely. What happened to all
the promises We're going to do this on economic levels,
just completely ignoring. JD. Vance was on Fox News and
he just kept on talking about how this new effort
is going to bring Iran to the table.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Here's the bottom line.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Iran has had its economy already destroyed. There's very little left.
The United States had opened up its ability to sell
oil in the open market for a couple of weeks,
hoping that would do something. It did nothing. Iran believes
and I think this is true. It has the upper
hand because of the political pressure in this country, because
(03:20):
we just simply don't want another war. The American people
don't want to take another war. The President ran his
campaign on no more forever wars. We are going to
only concentrate on America. And guess what we're not. The
US is now involved in a war with the Iran
(03:41):
right now? Are they bombing each other? Not this moment,
and the sanctions are going to go in the meantime.
Is the straight of horror moves open waterway. No, No
Iran has closed, it has anything changed.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
No, No, the.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
United States, well, the president's position is.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
No longer change. Oh no, we have a regime change.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Because the United States took out its political leaders and senior,
the senior leaders of the military UH and then the secondary.
Therefore we had complete regime change.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
We have not.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I mean I don't know what regime change means to
the administration. I mean, none of what the United States
has asked for has happened. Nothing, And political pressure Iran
thinks on the United States is far greater than anything
Iran does. Why is that because it doesn't matter to
Iran what it does to its economy. The RCG, the
(04:40):
Revolutionary Guard is in troll in control more so than
it's ever been. And they are the hardliners. And even
you've got secretary, a former defense secretary, Mark Esper who
was in the Trump administration, the first one out and
(05:02):
he was the Defense secretary for the president, has said
Iran has the upper hand and Iran just has to
hold on, and it is holding on.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Well, what's going to happen?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well, I got to tell you, I think I think
at this point the United States is going to lose
because there's no other country that's willing to join Iran.
That's what really pissed off the President. Help us open
the strait of horror moves. Look how it's hurting all
of us and the rest of the world says, no,
you're the one that started the war. It's you, even
(05:38):
though economically has hurt the entire world. The world our
allies don't want to get involved at all. The who
these have gotten involved has belaw in the in Lebanon
has gotten involved backing Iran.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It is not fun.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And more of that I'll talk about at eight o'clock
about the latest. The guy's a peace plan that the
President Talli has put forward, of which Iran says, let's
go for it. And next Ya who says not a
chance and basically has told the United States go pound
sand and says it.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I've not heard this before.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The nexta Yahoo, go pound sand, which is appropriate in
that part of the world, you know, Okay, Neil a
word or two about the Dodges.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Indeed, it's Max Mounsey Game seven home run bubblehead Night.
By the way, your official home for Dodgers baseball is
AM five to seventy LA Sports. Tonight, your back to
back world champion Dodgers take on the Royals with first
pitch at seven. Listened on AM five to seventy LA
Sports and stream on the iHeartRadio app live from the
(06:47):
gallpin Ford Broadcast booth.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Okay, a word about gun ownership and gun violence in
the United States, and everybody knows how I feel about it.
I truly do believe in as much gun control as
is possible and feasible because it makes sense to me.
But the Second Amendment, as you know, it seems like
almost anto restriction that has been placed on the Second
(07:12):
Amendment has been opened up. And Supreme Court has viewed
a very loose interpretation of the Second Amendment that you
should you could own a gun almost any under any circumstances.
It used to be that you could only own a
gun to protect well at Heller decision said you can
own a gun and protect yourself in your house. Well,
(07:34):
that has been overturned over and over again. There is
something called defending yourself right using a gun to defend yourself, which, okay,
that makes sense. If you think or you know you're
in danger of your life or someone else's life is
at risk, you can use a gun.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Well.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Tennessee just enacted a law making it easier to shoot
someone who's stealing your lawnmower, bicycle, or power tools left
in your garden shed, for example. It's a new take
on the stand your ground doctrine, which lest you defend
yourself but not your stuff. Now you can defend your stuff.
(08:14):
It's an expanded provision of the using a gun to
avent yourself. You can kill to protect your belongings as
long as you believe the interloper is a threat to
you or others. Now, most of the law, and certainly
in California, says, if you can get away, you get
(08:34):
the hell away.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You have to.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
First retreat, even if you think your life is in danger.
If you can leave, then you must. Well, the law
now says stand your ground laws on more states.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Saying that even if you can.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Retreat and you don't retreat and you shoot someone, that
is legal and is not a crime.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And there's case after case.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
In the courts, and you're going to go to Supreme Court,
but the court is absolutely going to defend your right
to shoot someone to defend.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Your goods if you believe, even if you.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Believe you could leave, as long as your life is
threatened or you think your life is threatened.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What about a store owner, Oh, absolutely a store owner.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But now now now under these new laws, California still
has you have to bail out if you can, so.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Somebody at his store has to run out of their
own store.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
And yeah, yes, yes, California. If you can get away,
you have to get away. That's the law. And now
on many of in many of.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
These cases, and the standard ground law has been expanded
like crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
What if you hire security, if they can get away,
if they.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Get away, if they can get away, and you can
get a way and retreat, if it's feasible, you must
do that.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
So you can't defend your store, that is correct, its acidine.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
You can only defend yourself or the life of another.
That's California. And it used to be that way in
the United States. And that law has changed in many,
many states. And I'm going to tell you how the
roots of stand your ground law go and what happened
in the United States how it all changed. And it's
(10:30):
about election Day in eighteen seventy six is when a
lot of this started. Rules have been changing on stand
your ground laws. Where it used to be that under
common law you had to leave, if you could get away,
you had to get away, even if you're in fear
of your life. Well, cases are now coming down that said,
even if you're not in fear of your life or
(10:52):
excuse me, even if you can retreat, you still can
shoot as long as you are in fear of your life.
And this started in eighteen seventy six, by the way,
the standyard ground concept. There was a man, John Runyan,
went into town to learn the results of a presidential race.
He was a Democrat, largely Republican community, and he got
(11:13):
into it with some of the Republicans at a local
appolling place.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And what happened. He was shot.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
He claimed he was physically attacked. Other witness says it
was a verbal a verbal altercation. Runyan pulls out a
gun and shoots the man who he was having an
argument with. So a court indicted run In for manslaughter
eight years in jail. The right of individuals to protect
(11:41):
themselves from assault, even to the point of killing an aggressor,
and the judge laid down the law. If a person
can protect his life and his person by retreating, this
is California law, he then has to retreat.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's his duty to retreat.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, that has changed in many states, and I'm willing
to bet the court is going to go with this
concept that you don't have to do that anymore. English
common law goes back and says you have to retreat
in the face of public aggression as far as you
can for resorting to deadly force.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
So he was convicted.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He appealed to the Supreme Court, and the court said
the lower court had aired in not explaining the legal
concept of de escalation and said that Runyan, if he
had retreated, it would be an American anti American act,
that Runyan should not be a coward by running away,
(12:41):
and the justices language on quote the American mind. This
was the centennial celebrating independence from the Brits, and the
law is basically accepting how Americans viewed the world were different,
not just a form of our government, but also in
the way we had created our government. We did it
(13:04):
with violent insurrection against the Brits and going on to
say that firearms is a part and parcel of our
entire history, a crucial role not only in our independence,
but also westward expansion, subjugation of native peoples. I love
(13:24):
that the Civil War, the enforcement of slavery, it was
all part of what American seems to be. And my
favorite Q quote is the Indiana justices on the Supreme
Court Supreme Court of Indiana held up the concept you
don't have to retreat. If you think your life is
(13:44):
in danger or you have fear, go ahead and shoot
your brains out. And the Ohio Supreme Court this was
a fun one. The majority, the Duchess wrote. The majority
found that forcing someone to retreat is an act of
(14:05):
legalized cowardice. A true man who is without fault is
not obligated to flee or fly from an assailant. In
other words, if you retreat, you are gutless. You are
at a panty waste. And any law that forces you to retreat,
if you can get away with it, that law is unconstitutional,
(14:29):
is invalid. And if you take advantage of it, you
are a complete coward.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
That's it. You're not a man's man. You're here.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, Well, the man's home is his castle. Was afforded
the one exception to the duty to retreat. If you're
in your home, you don't have to retreat. And the
American courts were saying that now the castle goes with you.
Every place is a castle. You don't have to retreat
under any circumstances.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Why not.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I mean, this is a country that has guns, has
always looked at guns, which is true. It was founded
on guns. It's part and parcel of everything we are.
There's an interesting some stat I want to share with
you the nationwide assault ban. Remember that the weapons ban
(15:24):
expired in two thousand and four. Two thousand and five
law protecting gun companies from being sued for their damage
from liability that was introduced. Firearms sales skyrocket. Domestic production
and imports of AR fifteen style rifles went from two
point went to two point eight million, and twenty twenty
(15:48):
in twenty two thousand and six it was four hundred thousand,
from four hundred thousand to two point eight million. Since
the two dates, now we have more privately owned guns
outnumber people in the United States and forty thousand deaths
a year now. Most of those deaths in the gun owners.
(16:09):
The gun advocates are right, most of those debts deaths
are suicides where people just blow their brains out and
would they kill themselves another way. That's what they're saying,
that guns are simply a way to kill yourself, and
you would do it someplace else. However, the argument still
(16:30):
is that guns, well, people kill people. Guns don't kill people,
but the same is with pairing knives. Pairing knives don't
kill people. People kill people. It's just harder to kill
someone with a pairing knife, that's all. And it's just
(16:53):
it's we're a gun culture. It's that simple. And that
you know most people have guns. You know what, let
me do a quick survey, Neil, guns in your home.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I'm not gonna tell anybody whether I have a gun.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
In mind, yes you should.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
If you do have one, you want to tell people
because that means that someone is not going to go
to your house, don't They're probably gonna get the brains
blown out.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Why wouldn't you tell people that.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
It would be a bad idea to break into my home?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Okay, that's okay. That says everything. Amy guns. Oh, I
like Neil's answer. It would be a bad idea to
break into my home. Thank you. That's a yes. Will
uh I take whatever you want in my house? Exactly?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Okay, Cono, Yeah, you eat to the guns. See well
that means you like guns. That means you have a gun. Well,
what I tell you is, uh, I don't have one,
but I have two killer Docsin's that will chew your
ankles off if you come to my house, okay, just saying.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Handle would go take the woman and leave me alone.
Oh in a heartbeat, Oh in a heartbeat.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
If someone were to come in my house with a gun,
I would throw Lindsey in front of me and say
shoot her first, without even thinking.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Now, when you have something going on with you, you medically,
a lot of people go to web md or yeah
and figure out, Okay, here are the symptoms.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
What might I have?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
There? You go doctor Jason Goldman from Coral Spring an
intern and says, you can get everything from you have
a cold to your dying of cancer, But specifically it's you.
It's AI that makes the recommendations and the prognosis for
you specifically, and that is the problem. The majority of
(18:54):
Americans view their test results online before even talking to
doctor yep, because a legal provision took effect in twenty
twenty one, helping patients get near real time access to
health information reports, imaging results, clinical notes, and then instead
of taking those to the doctor, it goes to AI
(19:16):
and AI tells you specifically what's wrong with you, And
the doctors are saying, wait a minute, there's more than
just the test results. You know what doctors do a job. Well,
for example, here's an argument, or here's an example. Doctor
(19:38):
Mary mulcahey, chief of Sports Medicine at Loyola AI is
going to have a hard time distinguishing between different types
of Vaniska staies, for example, the type of terror, how
active a patient is, how much arthritis a patient may have,
and the doctor is the one that figures this out,
(19:59):
because you can't get way from clinical.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Observations. Is what the doctors are saying.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Well, AI, AI says we're ninety eight percent effective. And
why is AI being used Because no one has enough
money to go to a doctor, that's why. And how
long does it take you to get an appointment at
a doctor. That's tough too, And so you turn to
AI and AI gives you the information and that's what's
(20:28):
wrong with you? And then you well, if you need
a prescription, of course you need a doctor. But what
can I do over the counter? Do I what kind
of doctor I go to as opposed to an interness?
I have some issues. I don't know what they are,
but AI does with all of my test results. And
the big problem is not so much the medical issue.
(20:50):
What's huge now is the mental health care where AI
is telling you what's wrong with you mentally with the question.
But there's a lot of hollucinations. For example, Uh, you
ask AI, I want to kill myself.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Now AI is supposed to say.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You immediately go and get mental health mental help, and
you go, no, I want to kill myself.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Help me. Now?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Does AI then start saying, okay, let's talk about it.
Do you want to make a statement, so you shoot
yourself in the head in front of a supermarket, or
you take a dive off the off the parking lot
structure at Disneyland or at our building, that's a statement.
Or do you quietly take some drugs and you overdose
(21:41):
in your home? Now you don't we ought to try that.
By the way, asking AI, how do we kill ourselves?
What do you suggest if we want to be quiet
about it? Does A refuse? Does a I refuse to
answer that I don't know the answer to that, I don't.
But the point is is that the metaical professioner saying,
(22:01):
you know you can't do that because you need a
doctor there. But they said the same thing about physicians
assistance for example, or nurses perform being certain basic medical
help like stitches. They fought those like crazy and as
AI sophisticated. Enough does it do a good enough job
where if you can't see a doctor, can't afford a doctor,
(22:23):
Welcome to modern medicine the United States. And you have
ninety eight percent success rate, ninety eight percent accuracy. Is
that enough because do doctors have a ninety eight percent
effective rate when they diagnose?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Okay? Coming up?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
The price of goods are down right, Inflation is under control.
Now you know that, don't you. That's what we're hearing. Well,
let me tell you what a lot of American families
are doing when it comes to groceries, just buying groceries.
And I'll dive into that when we come back. This
is KFI AM six forty. You've been listening to the

(00:48):
Here's the latest that the latest demands that Iran is

States has two immediate withdrawed's forces not only from that area,
but completely forces gone out of the Middle East, and
(01:08):
we have to stop by any sanctions, release the sanctions,
release the money that the United.
Speaker 1 (01:14):

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I would guess hundreds of billions of dollars for the

And so that's the latest. Well, of course, the United

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Okay, a word about gun ownership and gun violence in
the United States, and everybody knows how I feel about it.
I truly do believe in as much gun control as
is possible and feasible because it makes sense to me.
But the Second Amendment, as you know, it seems like
almost anto restriction that has been placed on the Second
(07:12):
Amendment has been opened up. And Supreme Court has viewed
a very loose interpretation of the Second Amendment that you
should you could own a gun almost any under any circumstances.
It used to be that you could only own a
gun to protect well at Heller decision said you can
own a gun and protect yourself in your house. Well,
(07:34):
that has been overturned over and over again. There is
something called defending yourself right using a gun to defend yourself, which, okay,
that makes sense. If you think or you know you're
in danger of your life or someone else's life is
at risk, you can use a gun.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Well.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Tennessee just enacted a law making it easier to shoot
someone who's stealing your lawnmower, bicycle, or power tools left
in your garden shed, for example. It's a new take
on the stand your ground doctrine, which lest you defend
yourself but not your stuff. Now you can defend your stuff.
(08:14):
It's an expanded provision of the using a gun to
avent yourself. You can kill to protect your belongings as
long as you believe the interloper is a threat to
you or others. Now, most of the law, and certainly
in California, says, if you can get away, you get
(08:34):
the hell away.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You have to.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
First retreat, even if you think your life is in danger.
If you can leave, then you must. Well, the law
now says stand your ground laws on more states.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Saying that even if you can.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Retreat and you don't retreat and you shoot someone, that
is legal and is not a crime.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And there's case after case.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
In the courts, and you're going to go to Supreme Court,
but the court is absolutely going to defend your right
to shoot someone to defend.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Your goods if you believe, even if you.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Believe you could leave, as long as your life is
threatened or you think your life is threatened.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What about a store owner, Oh, absolutely a store owner.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
But now now now under these new laws, California still
has you have to bail out if you can, so.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Somebody at his store has to run out of their
own store.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
And yeah, yes, yes, California. If you can get away,
you have to get away. That's the law. And now
on many of in many of.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
These cases, and the standard ground law has been expanded
like crazy.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
What if you hire security, if they can get away,
if they.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Get away, if they can get away, and you can
get a way and retreat, if it's feasible, you must
do that.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
So you can't defend your store, that is correct, its acidine.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
You can only defend yourself or the life of another.
That's California. And it used to be that way in
the United States. And that law has changed in many,
many states. And I'm going to tell you how the
roots of stand your ground law go and what happened
in the United States how it all changed. And it's
(10:30):
about election Day in eighteen seventy six is when a
lot of this started. Rules have been changing on stand
your ground laws. Where it used to be that under
common law you had to leave, if you could get away,
you had to get away, even if you're in fear
of your life. Well, cases are now coming down that said,
even if you're not in fear of your life or
(10:52):
excuse me, even if you can retreat, you still can
shoot as long as you are in fear of your life.
And this started in eighteen seventy six, by the way,
the standyard ground concept. There was a man, John Runyan,
went into town to learn the results of a presidential race.
He was a Democrat, largely Republican community, and he got
(11:13):
into it with some of the Republicans at a local
appolling place.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And what happened. He was shot.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
He claimed he was physically attacked. Other witness says it
was a verbal a verbal altercation. Runyan pulls out a
gun and shoots the man who he was having an
argument with. So a court indicted run In for manslaughter
eight years in jail. The right of individuals to protect
(11:41):
themselves from assault, even to the point of killing an aggressor,
and the judge laid down the law. If a person
can protect his life and his person by retreating, this
is California law, he then has to retreat.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's his duty to retreat.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Well, that has changed in many states, and I'm willing
to bet the court is going to go with this
concept that you don't have to do that anymore. English
common law goes back and says you have to retreat
in the face of public aggression as far as you
can for resorting to deadly force.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
So he was convicted.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He appealed to the Supreme Court, and the court said
the lower court had aired in not explaining the legal
concept of de escalation and said that Runyan, if he
had retreated, it would be an American anti American act,
that Runyan should not be a coward by running away,
(12:41):
and the justices language on quote the American mind. This
was the centennial celebrating independence from the Brits, and the
law is basically accepting how Americans viewed the world were different,
not just a form of our government, but also in
the way we had created our government. We did it
(13:04):
with violent insurrection against the Brits and going on to
say that firearms is a part and parcel of our
entire history, a crucial role not only in our independence,
but also westward expansion, subjugation of native peoples. I love
(13:24):
that the Civil War, the enforcement of slavery, it was
all part of what American seems to be. And my
favorite Q quote is the Indiana justices on the Supreme
Court Supreme Court of Indiana held up the concept you
don't have to retreat. If you think your life is
(13:44):
in danger or you have fear, go ahead and shoot
your brains out. And the Ohio Supreme Court this was
a fun one. The majority, the Duchess wrote. The majority
found that forcing someone to retreat is an act of
(14:05):
legalized cowardice. A true man who is without fault is
not obligated to flee or fly from an assailant. In
other words, if you retreat, you are gutless. You are
at a panty waste. And any law that forces you to retreat,
if you can get away with it, that law is unconstitutional,
(14:29):
is invalid. And if you take advantage of it, you
are a complete coward.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
That's it. You're not a man's man. You're here.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, Well, the man's home is his castle. Was afforded
the one exception to the duty to retreat. If you're
in your home, you don't have to retreat. And the
American courts were saying that now the castle goes with you.
Every place is a castle. You don't have to retreat
under any circumstances.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Why not.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I mean, this is a country that has guns, has
always looked at guns, which is true. It was founded
on guns. It's part and parcel of everything we are.
There's an interesting some stat I want to share with
you the nationwide assault ban. Remember that the weapons ban
(15:24):
expired in two thousand and four. Two thousand and five
law protecting gun companies from being sued for their damage
from liability that was introduced. Firearms sales skyrocket. Domestic production
and imports of AR fifteen style rifles went from two
point went to two point eight million, and twenty twenty
(15:48):
in twenty two thousand and six it was four hundred thousand,
from four hundred thousand to two point eight million. Since
the two dates, now we have more privately owned guns
outnumber people in the United States and forty thousand deaths
a year now. Most of those deaths in the gun owners.
(16:09):
The gun advocates are right, most of those debts deaths
are suicides where people just blow their brains out and
would they kill themselves another way. That's what they're saying,
that guns are simply a way to kill yourself, and
you would do it someplace else. However, the argument still
(16:30):
is that guns, well, people kill people. Guns don't kill people,
but the same is with pairing knives. Pairing knives don't
kill people. People kill people. It's just harder to kill
someone with a pairing knife, that's all. And it's just
(16:53):
it's we're a gun culture. It's that simple. And that
you know most people have guns. You know what, let
me do a quick survey, Neil, guns in your home.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I'm not gonna tell anybody whether I have a gun.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
In mind, yes you should.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
If you do have one, you want to tell people
because that means that someone is not going to go
to your house, don't They're probably gonna get the brains
blown out.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Why wouldn't you tell people that.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
It would be a bad idea to break into my home?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Okay, that's okay. That says everything. Amy guns. Oh, I
like Neil's answer. It would be a bad idea to
break into my home. Thank you. That's a yes. Will
uh I take whatever you want in my house? Exactly?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Okay, Cono, Yeah, you eat to the guns. See well
that means you like guns. That means you have a gun. Well,
what I tell you is, uh, I don't have one,
but I have two killer Docsin's that will chew your
ankles off if you come to my house, okay, just saying.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Handle would go take the woman and leave me alone.
Oh in a heartbeat, Oh in a heartbeat.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
If someone were to come in my house with a gun,
I would throw Lindsey in front of me and say
shoot her first, without even thinking.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Now, when you have something going on with you, you medically,
a lot of people go to web md or yeah
and figure out, Okay, here are the symptoms.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
What might I have?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
There? You go doctor Jason Goldman from Coral Spring an
intern and says, you can get everything from you have
a cold to your dying of cancer, But specifically it's you.
It's AI that makes the recommendations and the prognosis for
you specifically, and that is the problem. The majority of
(18:54):
Americans view their test results online before even talking to
doctor yep, because a legal provision took effect in twenty
twenty one, helping patients get near real time access to
health information reports, imaging results, clinical notes, and then instead
of taking those to the doctor, it goes to AI
(19:16):
and AI tells you specifically what's wrong with you, And
the doctors are saying, wait a minute, there's more than
just the test results. You know what doctors do a job. Well,
for example, here's an argument, or here's an example. Doctor
(19:38):
Mary mulcahey, chief of Sports Medicine at Loyola AI is
going to have a hard time distinguishing between different types
of Vaniska staies, for example, the type of terror, how
active a patient is, how much arthritis a patient may have,
and the doctor is the one that figures this out,
(19:59):
because you can't get way from clinical.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Observations. Is what the doctors are saying.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Well, AI, AI says we're ninety eight percent effective. And
why is AI being used Because no one has enough
money to go to a doctor, that's why. And how
long does it take you to get an appointment at
a doctor. That's tough too, And so you turn to
AI and AI gives you the information and that's what's
(20:28):
wrong with you? And then you well, if you need
a prescription, of course you need a doctor. But what
can I do over the counter? Do I what kind
of doctor I go to as opposed to an interness?
I have some issues. I don't know what they are,
but AI does with all of my test results. And
the big problem is not so much the medical issue.
(20:50):
What's huge now is the mental health care where AI
is telling you what's wrong with you mentally with the question.
But there's a lot of hollucinations. For example, Uh, you
ask AI, I want to kill myself.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Now AI is supposed to say.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
You immediately go and get mental health mental help, and
you go, no, I want to kill myself.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Help me. Now?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Does AI then start saying, okay, let's talk about it.
Do you want to make a statement, so you shoot
yourself in the head in front of a supermarket, or
you take a dive off the off the parking lot
structure at Disneyland or at our building, that's a statement.
Or do you quietly take some drugs and you overdose
(21:41):
in your home? Now you don't we ought to try that.
By the way, asking AI, how do we kill ourselves?
What do you suggest if we want to be quiet
about it? Does A refuse? Does a I refuse to
answer that I don't know the answer to that, I don't.
But the point is is that the metaical professioner saying,
(22:01):
you know you can't do that because you need a
doctor there. But they said the same thing about physicians
assistance for example, or nurses perform being certain basic medical
help like stitches. They fought those like crazy and as
AI sophisticated. Enough does it do a good enough job
where if you can't see a doctor, can't afford a doctor,
(22:23):
Welcome to modern medicine the United States. And you have
ninety eight percent success rate, ninety eight percent accuracy. Is
that enough because do doctors have a ninety eight percent
effective rate when they diagnose?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Okay? Coming up?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
The price of goods are down right, Inflation is under control.
Now you know that, don't you. That's what we're hearing. Well,
let me tell you what a lot of American families
are doing when it comes to groceries, just buying groceries.
And I'll dive into that when we come back. This
