Hour 2: Future of robotaxis · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Wow, did you see doctor Fouci flexing? She took his
0:06
Speaker 1: Constitution around his home. Remember this is after his testimony
0:11
Speaker 1: before the Three Hours before the United States Committee hosted
0:15
Speaker 1: by Rand Paul. So most times experts will tell you,
0:21
Speaker 1: Larry and Natalie and our audience that if you've been
0:24
Speaker 1: in a difficult situation to put you in a bad light,
0:27
Speaker 1: whether you're giving testimony in court or before congressional or
0:31
Speaker 1: a Senate hearing, the best strategy is, if you're gonna
0:35
Speaker 1: go home, just hunker down, and if you need any supplies,
0:38
Speaker 1: just gub hubb it in. Don't go outside because the
0:41
Speaker 1: paparazzi are gonna be everywhere. Or just pack your bags
0:45
Speaker 1: and go to the shore Marylyn, Shore Virginia, Shore Florida.
0:48
Speaker 1: Just take a powder puff for a few days. Oh no,
0:53
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci wasn't having any of that. After taking the
0:56
Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment to over one hundred times and having to
1:01
Speaker 1: suck it up while he was being called a party
1:03
Speaker 1: boy in DC, a super a list party attender, having
1:08
Speaker 1: fun everything that he hate and despise, he decided he
1:12
Speaker 1: was gonna come home and the first thing he was
1:14
Speaker 1: gonna do is he was gonna take the Constitution, take
1:18
Speaker 1: a nice stroll around the block with his wife.
1:21
Speaker 2: And along the way he stops.
1:23
Speaker 1: He knows the paparazzi all over him, and he takes
1:27
Speaker 1: his cell phone and he's having a conversation we don't
1:30
Speaker 1: know with who, and he's dropping the F bomb because
1:32
Speaker 1: you know he's pissed, you know he's angry, but and
1:34
Speaker 1: he wants them to be able to feel it, get
1:37
Speaker 1: up close, touch it, without answering any questions.
1:40
Speaker 2: And then he continues on his stroll, and.
1:42
Speaker 1: Lo and behold he returns from his constitution and what
1:47
Speaker 1: awaits him on his porch a bouquet of flowers from
1:53
Speaker 1: some stranger in admros Oh, Doctor Fauchier, the best thing
1:58
Speaker 1: that ever happened in the world, probably already preset and
2:01
Speaker 1: pre arranged by one of the neighbors who's a friend
2:03
Speaker 1: of his. So he decided, Okay, I did what my
2:09
Speaker 1: lawyers told me to do, my six lawyers, and took
2:11
Speaker 1: the fifth on everything, even ridiculous things like what Josh
2:15
Speaker 1: Hawley asked from Missouri, what day is it?
2:17
Speaker 2: The color of the tie, the color of the carpet.
2:20
Speaker 2: I take the fifth. But now I'm gonna I'm gonna
2:23
Speaker 2: show some anger, some indignation.
2:25
Speaker 1: It also showed that there were people out there in
2:27
Speaker 1: the world who loved me. Oh my god, it made me.
2:33
Speaker 1: I felt stained after watching all that. I don't know
2:36
Speaker 1: about you, Larry, but boy, this was like pre constructed
2:40
Speaker 1: in terms of what he was gonna do.
2:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you don't know about me.
2:44
Speaker 3: I'd like to see him in jail, And I think
2:45
Speaker 3: he should have been in jail for a long long time.
2:47
Speaker 3: And the reason he should have been in jail was
2:49
Speaker 3: for lying to the American public and lying to the world.
2:53
Speaker 2: Seven You know, we get into.
2:55
Speaker 3: The character of him, and we get into the back
3:00
Speaker 3: and forth, and the personality is involved in this. I
3:03
Speaker 3: think it's really important always to remember before we make
3:08
Speaker 3: make this into a soap opera, that seven million people
3:11
Speaker 3: died around the world. People couldn't see their loved ones
3:15
Speaker 3: and nursing homes when they were dying. People had to
3:19
Speaker 3: have their kids stay home for a couple of years
3:23
Speaker 3: because they couldn't go to school, and it set back
3:25
Speaker 3: their learning and it kept back set back their social skills.
3:29
Speaker 2: He was a.
3:30
Speaker 3: Plague on the world. The plague wasn't COVID. The plague
3:34
Speaker 3: was Fauci, and so I think it's really important that
3:37
Speaker 3: we constantly remember that. And I wanted to say all
3:40
Speaker 3: that before I got into the diary and the self aggrandizing,
3:45
Speaker 3: because while the world was suffering, he felt like a
3:50
Speaker 3: movie star. He wrote that constantly, all the people that
3:55
Speaker 3: met him and loved him, and all the accolades he's getting,
4:00
Speaker 3: all the interviews he's doing, that's all he wrote about.
4:04
Speaker 3: At a time when major decisions were being made, at
4:07
Speaker 3: a time when people were dying, he wrote about himself,
4:12
Speaker 3: and he spent much of his time accumulating wealth. So
4:18
Speaker 3: not only was he self aggrandizing, not only was he
4:22
Speaker 3: a narcissist, but he was getting rich while other people
4:26
Speaker 3: were dying. This man should constantly be vilified, and I
4:31
Speaker 3: think we need to remember how much. Not only the
4:34
Speaker 3: Democratic Party still, by the way, and they should be
4:37
Speaker 3: ashamed of themselves, still admire him, still have him up
4:44
Speaker 3: on a pedestal, but all of Hollywood did as well.
4:48
Speaker 3: You might have seen this by now, but it's worth
4:51
Speaker 3: playing over and over and over again. Remember, nobody could
4:56
Speaker 3: go out. Everything was shut down. So Julia Roberts over
4:59
Speaker 3: Zoom gave him an award, and when she saw him
5:03
Speaker 3: when he's he just appeared. She even said she was
5:07
Speaker 3: setting it up, going there's the room, there's the room
5:09
Speaker 3: he works out of at the at the NIH And
5:12
Speaker 3: then when he sat down, she she couldn't, she had
5:15
Speaker 3: to catch her breath.
5:16
Speaker 2: She went vapors, vapors.
5:19
Speaker 3: Oh my god, and it was it was disgusting, and
5:22
Speaker 3: then you know, just was pouring it on.
5:27
Speaker 4: This is a thrill for me because there are very
5:29
Speaker 4: few experts of anything in the world, I think, and
5:33
Speaker 4: you truly have emerged as a personal hero for me.
5:37
Speaker 4: Just to have this little corner of your time for
5:40
Speaker 4: us is such a joy.
5:42
Speaker 1: So it's my pleasure to be with you, miss Robinson,
5:46
Speaker 1: and thank you for doing this.
5:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, gosh, it was I shouldn't just point out Julia Roberts.
5:53
Speaker 3: We just happened to have video of her. It was
5:55
Speaker 3: everybody in Hollywood. It was Tom Hanks, it was George Cloney,
5:59
Speaker 3: every but he was fawning over him. And so on
6:03
Speaker 3: Saturday that Live you remember, they got back on the air.
6:05
Speaker 3: They were doing everything remotely. A lot of them were
6:07
Speaker 3: doing their skits from their apartments, but they had Brad
6:11
Speaker 3: Pitt play Fauci and having one of his sit down,
6:17
Speaker 3: talks to the world and this is how it ended.
6:21
Speaker 3: He takes off I want to set this up because
6:24
Speaker 3: this is the end of the bit. And then he
6:26
Speaker 3: takes off his wig and he shows you that it's
6:29
Speaker 3: Brad Pitt and this is what he says.
6:32
Speaker 5: And when I hear things like the virus can be
6:34
Speaker 5: cured if everyone takes the tight pod challenge, I'll be
6:37
Speaker 5: there to say, please don't.
6:41
Speaker 6: And to the real doctor Fauci, thank you for your
6:45
Speaker 6: calm and your clarity in this unnerving time.
6:49
Speaker 1: Oh, the idolatry, he was like the infallibility. You know,
6:53
Speaker 1: my dad raised me as a young boy. He said, look,
6:57
Speaker 1: don't get into idolatry. This was a clear case where
7:01
Speaker 1: he was put up on a pedestal as the loan authority,
7:05
Speaker 1: the lone voice. The world looked to him, not just
7:07
Speaker 1: you know, they didn't look to the WHO World Health Organization.
7:11
Speaker 1: They looked to doctor Fauci, and they basically said he
7:15
Speaker 1: was infallible. But that's why it's so important to have
7:18
Speaker 1: the emails as we now have, so important to have
7:21
Speaker 1: his own writing, you know, his own type written entries
7:25
Speaker 1: into his diaries in which he was saying while I
7:29
Speaker 1: was out there saying that it was you know, it
7:32
Speaker 1: was passed from the animal, the bat, you know, in
7:35
Speaker 1: the wet market, to the human. And that's how it
7:38
Speaker 1: got going. I'm having these conferences with experts all over
7:42
Speaker 1: the world.
7:43
Speaker 2: Who are my peers, and they split fifty to fifty
7:47
Speaker 2: on the notion of animal to human.
7:49
Speaker 1: And the laboratory Wuhan, the bio chemical laboratory which was
7:54
Speaker 1: right next to that wet market they were talking about, right, it.
7:58
Speaker 3: Was called the Wuhan covid. It was exactly whatever the
8:02
Speaker 3: virus was at the time. We called covid after the coronavirus, right,
8:06
Speaker 3: that's it. It was called the coronavirus lab. I mean,
8:09
Speaker 3: you know, you have a maybe it came from there.
8:12
Speaker 3: Look there's the coronavirus lab. Maybe it came from there.
8:15
Speaker 3: John Stewart famously did this on Colbert said, it obviously
8:19
Speaker 3: came from the lab. It had the exact same name,
8:22
Speaker 3: So yes, it came from there. But I don't want
8:25
Speaker 3: to even talk about that. What we have to realize
8:29
Speaker 3: is that he is the reason that research was taking
8:32
Speaker 3: place in the first place. That research never would have
8:36
Speaker 3: taken place in that lab without the funding from the
8:39
Speaker 3: NIH and without the approval of Anthony Fauci.
8:42
Speaker 2: Now when he started it, when he started.
8:46
Speaker 3: It, it was legal, but it became illegal, and he
8:50
Speaker 3: kept funding it. He kept funding the gain of function
8:54
Speaker 3: research when it was declared illegal in this country, and
8:58
Speaker 3: he knew he couldn't do it here, so had to
9:00
Speaker 3: do it over there. But he wasn't even supposed to
9:02
Speaker 3: legally funded over there, and he kept doing it. And
9:05
Speaker 3: that's why you should be in jail. The president at
9:07
Speaker 3: that time was Barack Obama.
9:09
Speaker 1: He was besieged from throughout the world by medical authorities.
9:13
Speaker 1: You can't do that, he said, Well, as you pointed out,
9:16
Speaker 1: it's illegal, can't be done. Didn't matter. Fauci remembers infallible. Yeah,
9:22
Speaker 1: I know more than you, Barack Obama. I want to
9:25
Speaker 1: continue to do it nefariously, And to this day he
9:29
Speaker 1: will not acknowledge that we can't.
9:30
Speaker 3: I mean, if he acknowledged that, he'd be the greatest
9:33
Speaker 3: man he already is, but he'd be convicted and he'd
9:36
Speaker 3: be exposed as the greatest mass murderer in history. Think
9:41
Speaker 3: about it. Seven million people and the fact that he
9:46
Speaker 3: didn't admit that right away meant that more people were
9:49
Speaker 3: going to die. The longer it took for us to
9:52
Speaker 3: realize what was happening, the more it was going to
9:54
Speaker 3: spread and then become a pandemic. And he was afraid
9:58
Speaker 3: he was covering for himself, and so he wouldn't admit
10:01
Speaker 3: that to the world because he knew the repercussions of that. No,
10:05
Speaker 3: he's an absolute villain. You know, if super villains they
10:09
Speaker 3: have in Marvel comics, he's a greater supervillain than any
10:13
Speaker 3: of them.
10:13
Speaker 1: Doctor det And one real quick caveat, I have Swedish
10:17
Speaker 1: Guardian angels and we would communicate, and you know, they
10:20
Speaker 1: believe in herd immunity in Sweden, and they were having results,
10:24
Speaker 1: and everyone else was pounding him. Do you know he
10:27
Speaker 1: confessed in his diaries to pushing the herd immunity target
10:32
Speaker 1: higher to what he thought Americans could bear because there
10:36
Speaker 1: were some people like me and others were saying, hey,
10:38
Speaker 1: why aren't we doing what the Swedes are doing.
10:40
Speaker 2: They seemed to be having you know, good luck with
10:43
Speaker 2: that one. No, absolutely kept pushing it higher. And what
10:47
Speaker 2: a diabolical, evil human being.
10:49
Speaker 3: I know. And the fact that people still look democrats
10:52
Speaker 3: all were protecting him.
10:54
Speaker 2: Shame on them. As well. That's why.
10:56
Speaker 3: By the way, remember this when you vote in the midterms,
10:59
Speaker 3: remember this when we come back. By the way, we'd
11:02
Speaker 3: love to hear from you. Of course, leave us a talkback.
11:05
Speaker 3: Go to seven to ten wor on the iHeartRadio app,
11:08
Speaker 3: go to the talkback section, hit the microphone. Please would
11:11
Speaker 3: love to hear from you. Also, robotaxis with no steering wheel,
11:17
Speaker 3: with no brakes nothing. I mean they have brakes inside,
11:21
Speaker 3: but you don't have the pedal brake nothing. You just
11:23
Speaker 3: sit in a cabin. They're now a thing and they're
11:27
Speaker 3: going to be spreading across the country. Plus a chance
11:31
Speaker 3: to see deep purple in Kansas coming up at a
11:34
Speaker 3: twenty five. All right, federal regulators, they're going full steam
11:39
Speaker 3: ahead with a completely automized robotaxis. So you know the
11:45
Speaker 3: way moos that you're used to, the ones that tested
11:48
Speaker 3: in the city. Those they have a steering wheel. They
11:50
Speaker 3: look like a regular car, you know, there's two front
11:53
Speaker 3: seats that are basically empty, and you sit in the back,
11:55
Speaker 3: so you feel like you're in a taxi. Not these
11:59
Speaker 3: special Amazon fully automated. They're called Xenox, the Xenox vehicles.
12:06
Speaker 3: That's a horrible name. It's a little scary of the
12:09
Speaker 3: name to get into. But it has nothing in the front.
12:12
Speaker 3: It has four seats facing each other, so you have
12:16
Speaker 3: two seats facing the back, two seats facing the front,
12:19
Speaker 3: so it has four people. And then everything is automated,
12:22
Speaker 3: so you don't need the steering wheel, you don't need
12:24
Speaker 3: the break.
12:25
Speaker 1: It's like an old fashioned stage coach exactly, no horse
12:29
Speaker 1: and no driver at the top because you know, in
12:31
Speaker 1: the old stage coach face you're facing one another.
12:35
Speaker 2: Uh, let me guess where they're doing this.
12:37
Speaker 1: I'm Carnaca Magnificent, having just come back from Palo Alto
12:41
Speaker 1: where I election in Stamford. They have weimold there everywhere.
12:46
Speaker 1: Amazon is doing it there. Yep, that's where they're gonna start.
12:49
Speaker 3: They've been testing it there actually there in Las Vegas
12:52
Speaker 3: and now both states have cleared it. But it's going
12:54
Speaker 3: to start in Palo Alto's so and they're gonna start
12:58
Speaker 3: charging now and you just do it with your credit card.
13:00
Speaker 3: Here's somebody that wrote in it.
13:04
Speaker 5: It's kind of scary the first time of like when
13:07
Speaker 5: I just got used to it, it's really cool and chilling,
13:10
Speaker 5: like I really loved the music and how you kind
13:12
Speaker 5: of like adjust.
13:13
Speaker 2: Temperature place there you go. So it's scary when you
13:16
Speaker 2: first get into it, you get used to it really quick. Yeah,
13:19
Speaker 2: and what about all those jobs that get lost? What
13:22
Speaker 2: are these guys and gals gonna do? I know, it's horrible.
13:25
Speaker 1: I mean, Palo Alto, I walked two miles to the
13:27
Speaker 1: campus from where I was saying, I refuse to take
13:30
Speaker 1: the way. MO. If I'm invited back out there again,
13:33
Speaker 1: you know, damn well, I ain't taken Jeff Bos's Amazon Beast.
13:38
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call it. What the hell is going on
13:40
Speaker 2: in our country? You know, there was a lot of people.
13:42
Speaker 3: That said that they rushed this too fast, that there
13:45
Speaker 3: wasn't enough There weren't enough reports given there's a lot
13:49
Speaker 3: of people out there that complained that said, we're pushing
13:51
Speaker 3: this a little bit too fast. We need some more
13:54
Speaker 3: data on this. This is the Council for Amazon, so
13:57
Speaker 3: we're requiring more robust reporting requirements from the entity.
14:01
Speaker 7: We have the ability to pull the exemption if we
14:03
Speaker 7: see and reasonably say risky behavior on the road. So
14:08
Speaker 7: it gives us the ability to oversee and learn from
14:11
Speaker 7: this technology as we look to modernize our system of regulation.
14:16
Speaker 2: Itself.
14:17
Speaker 3: That's pretty interesting that they're saying, look at look, you know,
14:20
Speaker 3: we don't need to give you more paperwork. You know,
14:22
Speaker 3: we're going to oversee this entire thing and we'll pull
14:24
Speaker 3: the whole thing if there's any problems.
14:27
Speaker 2: But so far there's been no problem.
14:28
Speaker 1: It's all analytics, right, don't worry about it. When people
14:32
Speaker 1: say to me, don't worry about it, that's when I
14:34
Speaker 1: start worrying. I just want to know. All these men
14:37
Speaker 1: and women who earn their livelihood as drivers. They'll call
14:41
Speaker 1: them drivers for hire. That covers a wide range of driving.
14:45
Speaker 1: What are they going to do instead? Oh, that's wipe
14:48
Speaker 1: what Elon must said. In the future, everyone will have abundance.
14:53
Speaker 2: You won't have to work.
14:56
Speaker 1: They're all using drugs out there, you know, I'm Palo Alto.
14:59
Speaker 1: They psychotropic jokes. It's been big articles written about that.
15:03
Speaker 1: Do we really believe that crap?
15:05
Speaker 2: No, it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen all across the country.
15:08
Speaker 3: But this is the whole threat about AI, which I
15:11
Speaker 3: know we're gonna talk more about on Monday, But for
15:13
Speaker 3: right now, let's get to some talkbacks.
15:15
Speaker 2: Starting with the big movies. This weekend.
15:18
Speaker 8: My take on the popularity of The Odyssey movies a
15:21
Speaker 8: little bit different than yours. I think people need a
15:24
Speaker 8: vehicle to unite on and they are sick and tired
15:29
Speaker 8: of staying at home and hating each other, and this
15:33
Speaker 8: three thousand year old story seems to provide that vehicle.
15:38
Speaker 8: It's something that we all grew up with, and we
15:40
Speaker 8: all knew when we can all enjoy the excitement together,
15:45
Speaker 8: regardless of our differences.
15:48
Speaker 2: It's really true. Movies do bring people together. Excuse me,
15:51
Speaker 2: you never read the book. I didn't, so he said.
15:54
Speaker 2: We all grew up with it. Natalie grew up with it.
15:56
Speaker 2: I grew up with it, except I read Ulysses.
15:59
Speaker 1: But you.
16:01
Speaker 2: Close enough.
16:03
Speaker 6: They told us that even if you had natural immunity,
16:06
Speaker 6: you had to take the shot. Bit insane. He's losing patience.
16:10
Speaker 6: Fauci is liable. Okay, somebody needs to go to prison.
16:14
Speaker 6: People lost their jobs, their careers because they didn't take
16:17
Speaker 6: the shot. Where's the accountability?
16:19
Speaker 2: Where?
16:20
Speaker 3: Oh it's a long long list. Thanks for saying that,
16:22
Speaker 3: but it's a long list. People didn't go to see
16:25
Speaker 3: their mothers and fathers and grandfathers because they died alone
16:29
Speaker 3: in the nursing home. I mean, everything was awful.
16:33
Speaker 6: I don't want to see that on a bumper sticker.
16:35
Speaker 2: The plague wasn't COVID, the plague was foucy.
16:40
Speaker 3: I'll print that up. You had the idea, go ahead
16:43
Speaker 3: and start making that. You'll make some money. Now, let's
16:47
Speaker 3: get to the news at seven point thirty. Let me
16:50
Speaker 3: try and let's get this right. Dari Alberger got it.
16:55
Speaker 1: Thank you. Larry.
16:56
Speaker 9: Funeral will be held this morning in Queen's four Rangel Ramper,
17:00
Speaker 9: said the Army staff sergeant who was killed during an
17:03
Speaker 9: Iranian attack on US troops in Jordan. Governor Hockles ordered
17:06
Speaker 9: all flags in New York lowered to half staff in
17:09
Speaker 9: memory of the twenty eight year old. President Trump may
17:11
Speaker 9: put Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General on hold until
17:15
Speaker 9: two Republican hold out to leave office soon to be.
17:17
Speaker 9: Former Senators John Cornyn and Tom Tilla say they will
17:20
Speaker 9: not vote to confirm Blanche until the Justice Department puts
17:24
Speaker 9: in writing that it scrapped the multi billion dollar Weaponization
17:28
Speaker 9: Fund for good. The search resumes this morning for a
17:30
Speaker 9: ten year old girl who was swept away while playing
17:33
Speaker 9: in the Passaic River earlier this week, the body of
17:36
Speaker 9: a ten year old boy was found Wednesday night as
17:37
Speaker 9: eleven year old sister made it safely to shore, and
17:40
Speaker 9: the FDA is recalling more than twelve million vials of

Speaker 9: I'm Daria Albinger on seven to ten War Up.
17:55
Speaker 1: Next, we'll have our own war doctor Gil lead him
17:58
Speaker 1: in on hardly Anyway explain remember Shatner Captain Kirk diagnosed
18:03
Speaker 1: with stage four cancer while his wife also had a
18:07
Speaker 1: different form of cancer, stage four, and how things have
18:11
Speaker 1: improved incredibly in that medical field. Meantime, our iHeartRadio Music
18:17
Speaker 1: Festival is back, featuring live performances by Benson Boone, The

Speaker 2: Get them now before they sell out. Truly a man.
18:38
Speaker 3: That needs no introduction, probably the most famous doctor in
18:40
Speaker 3: New York, doctor Gil Liederman, host of Radio Surgery New
18:44
Speaker 3: York at midnight and on the weekends, and we're very proud.
18:48
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for agreeing to appear on the show,
18:52
Speaker 3: because it's an important time.
18:53
Speaker 2: Doctor.
18:54
Speaker 3: We've seen celebrities like William Shatner, William Shatner's daughter Carly
18:59
Speaker 3: sin Men in the last couple of weeks speak publicly
19:03
Speaker 3: about their cancer journeys. So I guess the question is
19:06
Speaker 3: when someone hears the word you have cancer, which everyone dreads,
19:11
Speaker 3: what's the first thing they should do and what mistakes
19:16
Speaker 3: should they avoid in those first few days.
19:21
Speaker 5: Thank you so much, Larry, thanks for having me, and
19:23
Speaker 5: I know we had dinner together recently, so I appreciate
19:26
Speaker 5: that and your friendship and having me on the show,
19:29
Speaker 5: so I want to thank you first of all. So
19:31
Speaker 5: that's a big question, a very important question, and one
19:34
Speaker 5: of the most important issues in my view is who
19:38
Speaker 5: the patient sees first. So let's talk about Carly Simon,
19:42
Speaker 5: who was an article about her and apparently she had
19:45
Speaker 5: a skin cancer on her face and she had surgery
19:48
Speaker 5: on her face and she's regretting apparently the surgery, not
19:53
Speaker 5: even talking about the options. So the problem with a
19:56
Speaker 5: lot of cancers are that the biopsy is often done
19:59
Speaker 5: by a surgeon. So for example, well Shatner also had
20:04
Speaker 5: a melanoma, which is a skin cancer, she had a
20:07
Speaker 5: skin cancer, so usually the biopsy is done by a dermatologist.
20:11
Speaker 5: A dermatologist is a surgeon who operates on the skin.
20:16
Speaker 5: So for Carly, she's most likely. I don't know her
20:19
Speaker 5: case other than what I read in the periodical that
20:24
Speaker 5: she had a biopsy and she had surgery and now
20:27
Speaker 5: she regrets the surgery because she's been deformed. I've treated
20:32
Speaker 5: thousands of skin cancers over years, and I've seen so many,
20:36
Speaker 5: and I have a family member who's a dermatologist. I
20:39
Speaker 5: know the field pretty well. And the problem is that
20:42
Speaker 5: when you go to a surgeon for your original biopsy,
20:46
Speaker 5: the patient kind of bonds with the first doctor, and
20:49
Speaker 5: the patient says, after the biopsy, oh my god, I
20:51
Speaker 5: have cancer. What should I do? And the first voice
20:54
Speaker 5: they often hear is the surgeon, and the surgeon sad
20:58
Speaker 5: to say, in our system, in our medical system has
21:02
Speaker 5: a predilection to recommend their own services, which means surgery.
21:06
Speaker 5: So we see that all the time. In skin cancer.
21:09
Speaker 5: There's two million skin three million skin cancers a year.
21:12
Speaker 5: And the vast majority have a surgery called MOS, which
21:15
Speaker 5: is like an excavation, and it's often very deforming because
21:20
Speaker 5: skin cancers are often around the ears, the eyes, the nose,
21:23
Speaker 5: the mouth. These are very visible places. And in my experience,
21:27
Speaker 5: I've treated thousands, I've actually treated forty thousand patients. The
21:32
Speaker 5: patient almost never is told about all the options, including
21:36
Speaker 5: non invasive options. So there are non invasive options, and
21:40
Speaker 5: we treat many patients here non invasively with no cutting
21:43
Speaker 5: and no bleeding, whether it's pancreas cancers or prostate cancers
21:47
Speaker 5: or skin cancers like she had. So when I grew up,
21:51
Speaker 5: when I went to medical school, it was our education
21:55
Speaker 5: that the doctor was obliged to tell people all the options.
21:58
Speaker 5: And if a patient comes here to radios to New York,
22:00
Speaker 5: you'll see signs on the wall about all the options
22:03
Speaker 5: chemo and radiation and different forms of radiation and surgery,
22:07
Speaker 5: even no treatment. Some people shouldn't have any treatment, especially
22:10
Speaker 5: if they don't want it. So I would imagine she
22:14
Speaker 5: was not listening to doctor Liederman's show on wr AND
22:18
Speaker 5: all the time you mentioned, because if she was listening
22:20
Speaker 5: to doctor Liederman, she would have heard almost every show,
22:24
Speaker 5: we talk about skin cancer and other cancers where you
22:26
Speaker 5: can have an alternative to invasive deforming surgery. So had
22:32
Speaker 5: she been listening to wr and Plug for your Beautiful Station,
22:37
Speaker 5: she would have known that there was an option, even
22:40
Speaker 5: if her doctor didn't tell her. And I imagine her
22:42
Speaker 5: doctor did not tell her because her doctor maybe wanted
22:46
Speaker 5: a celebrity case whatever.
22:47
Speaker 1: I don't know.
22:48
Speaker 5: But we see so many skin cancers and almost all
22:52
Speaker 5: of them are sent by themselves. Their doctors almost never
22:57
Speaker 5: send the patient, and you usually believe it or not.
22:59
Speaker 5: The doctor then calls back afterwards and they're so upset,
23:02
Speaker 5: and they're upset for two reasons. One, it's most commonly
23:05
Speaker 5: a beautiful result because our treatment is beautiful. We're beaming
23:09
Speaker 5: in specifically with an area. It's the actually unique program
23:13
Speaker 5: here that we've developed to treat the skin cancer wherever
23:16
Speaker 5: it is. Most of by the ear, the eyes, and nose,
23:19
Speaker 5: the throat, but some are on the hands and the
23:21
Speaker 5: feet and the trunk, and the results are overwhelmingly successful,
23:26
Speaker 5: more successful than most without the scarring deformity surgery and
23:30
Speaker 5: anesthesia hours of surgery which most entails and often most
23:35
Speaker 5: because they excavate a hole in the body. Then they
23:37
Speaker 5: have to get a plug from somewhere else or try
23:39
Speaker 5: to stretch the skin together, and it's very deforming. And
23:42
Speaker 5: that's exactly what she's talking about, being deformed after skin cancer.
23:46
Speaker 1: Now, doctor Gill lead him in the courtesy, and I've
23:49
Speaker 1: been at your facility many many times, myself, my wife Nancy.
23:54
Speaker 1: Previously you were giving advice and urging treatment for my
23:59
Speaker 1: mother and father for many many years. He did an
24:02
Speaker 1: outstanding job. But when I recommend that people go to you,
24:08
Speaker 1: and I say, well, he's like a pioneer in radiosurgery.
24:13
Speaker 2: This is primarily what he uses.
24:17
Speaker 1: Can you'd be specific to our many listeners, How is
24:20
Speaker 1: that different from everything else they getting bombarded with nowadays?
24:23
Speaker 2: You know Lasier knife.
24:25
Speaker 1: Surgery, this surgery, that surgery, some a holistic homeopathic. What
24:31
Speaker 1: is the specificity of radio surgery?
24:34
Speaker 5: Okay, So radiosurgery is revolutionary. Prior to my bringing radio
24:40
Speaker 5: surgery to America, I'm the first doctor to do body
24:43
Speaker 5: radio serger in America. Into the Western Hemisphere and of
24:45
Speaker 5: course New York, large areas of the body would be radiated.
24:49
Speaker 5: My boss at Harvard used to call it postage stamp radiation.
24:54
Speaker 5: To radiate, let's say amassing the lung i, remember vividly
24:57
Speaker 5: called postage stamporation, but the area the radiation was like
25:01
Speaker 5: ten by ten by twenty centimeters, which is two thousand
25:05
Speaker 5: cubic centimeters of one's body to treat a nodule, maybe
25:09
Speaker 5: the size of a p and that's what they would
25:13
Speaker 5: call postage stamp radiation or trying to minimize the field.
25:16
Speaker 5: But in fact, if you think about it, if we
25:19
Speaker 5: treat a tumor that's one or two or three or
25:22
Speaker 5: five cubic centimeters, it's a very small area that's radiated.
25:26
Speaker 5: And that's what's revolutionary about radiosurgery.
25:28
Speaker 1: Number one.
25:29
Speaker 5: Radio surgery also confuses people. The name. It's a misnomer.
25:33
Speaker 5: It was named by a Swedish doctor in nineteen fifty
25:35
Speaker 5: three and he wanted to say, hey, radiation could kill
25:39
Speaker 5: tumors and kill structures like surgery. So he tried to
25:43
Speaker 5: put the name together, radio radiation and surgery together to
25:48
Speaker 5: make it sound like it was a powerful surgery. But
25:50
Speaker 5: it's not, and so a lot of people are confused
25:53
Speaker 5: by that. They're confused by the name radiosurgery is non
25:57
Speaker 5: invasive treatment. And then the other point you're alluding to
26:01
Speaker 5: is Hey, people hear about doctor Liederman talking about radio surgery.
26:04
Speaker 5: So one of my friends developed a system that he
26:08
Speaker 5: was so jealous of our work he wanted to have
26:10
Speaker 5: another system. He tried to make it as good as ours,
26:13
Speaker 5: but it couldn't be the same as ours because he
26:16
Speaker 5: wanted to sell the system. He wanted to be a
26:19
Speaker 5: producer and a salesman, not a doctor, and so he
26:23
Speaker 5: created a system that tried to mimic ours. It could not,
26:27
Speaker 5: but it has a name and a lot of in banks.
26:30
Speaker 5: It actually went bankrupt twice and then banks bought it
26:32
Speaker 5: and banks put a lot of money in and they
26:34
Speaker 5: advertised it. So there's a name to it. But people
26:38
Speaker 5: confused the name and the marketing with actual treatment, so
26:42
Speaker 5: it is very confusing. You're right, and there's very similar
26:45
Speaker 5: names that are not the same product.
26:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, doctor Liederman, thank you so much. I think your
26:52
Speaker 3: whole career you have given people a lot of hope
26:54
Speaker 3: and that cancer is not necessarily a death sentence. And
26:58
Speaker 3: we just talked about William Shatner at stage four and
27:00
Speaker 3: it wasn't a death sentence for him. But you're absolutely right.
27:04
Speaker 3: Going to the right doctor like you makes all the
27:07
Speaker 3: difference in the world. Thank you, sir for joining us today.
27:10
Speaker 3: Doctor Gil Liederman, host of a radio surgery New York
27:13
Speaker 3: at midnight and on the weekends. Doctor Liederman, don't be
27:17
Speaker 3: a stranger.
27:17
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you, God bless you. Thanks, thank you, Larry,
27:21
Speaker 5: thank you, Curtis.
27:23
Speaker 3: When we come back. So, how is that free bus
27:27
Speaker 3: idea going so far? We're going to talk about that after.
27:31
Speaker 1: The break ahead of the MTA, which I refer to
27:35
Speaker 1: the acronym Money Taking Agency had a press conference yesterday
27:40
Speaker 1: in which he had to admit at fair evasion continues
27:44
Speaker 1: on the buses. What had been fifty percent, which we
27:47
Speaker 1: like half the people not paying, has actually increased in
27:51
Speaker 1: June alone an additional seven percent. Pretty soon at this rate,
27:55
Speaker 1: nobody's going to be paying. And so he was bemoaning
27:59
Speaker 1: that fact and basically saying that people who can pay,
28:02
Speaker 1: you should.
28:03
Speaker 10: Pay without rancor and without blame. I do think that
28:09
Speaker 10: we have we have to now turn as a you know,
28:14
Speaker 10: as a city, to re establishing the principle that everybody
28:18
Speaker 10: shares in the responsibility for me, for contributing to this system,
28:24
Speaker 10: for all the people in the you know, uh people
28:28
Speaker 10: are on their way to office jobs, who are making
28:30
Speaker 10: a good income, who walk by the bus driver and
28:33
Speaker 10: don't pay, or get on the back and don't pay.
28:36
Speaker 10: I say, it's time to be New Yorkers. You know,
28:39
Speaker 10: there's no you know, you're just passing along the cost
28:42
Speaker 10: to another tax payer. Somebody's going to have to pay
28:45
Speaker 10: for that ride.
28:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, no enforcement, which has led to people just deciding, well,
28:50
Speaker 1: if other people aren't paying, why should I pay. And
28:53
Speaker 1: I see that every day people just get on to
28:55
Speaker 1: the back of the bus. They have a way to
28:56
Speaker 1: pay in the back of the bus. They ignorant, Well,
28:59
Speaker 1: they walk right past the bus driver in the front,
29:01
Speaker 1: and he, without saying his name, seemed to be implying
29:05
Speaker 1: it was because of the mayor's or on Mandamie, as
29:07
Speaker 1: you know, one of his main features with free busses,
29:10
Speaker 1: free buses, free busses. And when I campaigned against him
29:13
Speaker 1: and Cuomo, I said, what are you talking about. Half
29:15
Speaker 1: the people don't pay their bus fare to begin with,
29:18
Speaker 1: and so he's got a huge problem that predates Zorhan.
29:23
Speaker 1: During the lockdown and pandemic, Cuomo, who was the head
29:26
Speaker 1: of the MTAs governor, said okay, for a period of time,
29:30
Speaker 1: nobody has to pay buses and subways. Now, how do
29:33
Speaker 1: you get him to pay once you rescind that. Then
29:36
Speaker 1: Brad Landa, the controller who's now the congressman, he was
29:40
Speaker 1: able to convince the state, let's have a trial. You know,
29:43
Speaker 1: Crosstown buses free, free, free, and they did it and
29:46
Speaker 1: then they rescinded it.
29:47
Speaker 2: And guess what, I take Crosstown buses all the time.
29:50
Speaker 2: People don't pay the fare. So you can't all of.
29:53
Speaker 1: A sudden give something away for free and then expect
29:57
Speaker 1: once you rescind it, then now everybody's going to get
29:59
Speaker 1: back contract and say unless there's enforcement, unless they are
30:02
Speaker 1: arrest and the das are not prosecuting none of the
30:05
Speaker 1: das at prosecuting this. So if it comes before an
30:08
Speaker 1: assistant district attorney, this mess.
30:10
Speaker 3: That's why I don't believe the mayor at all when
30:13
Speaker 3: he says everybody should pay their fair share. He says
30:16
Speaker 3: that constantly everybody should pay their fair share except the
30:19
Speaker 3: people that ride the bus. Now they're very selective of
30:23
Speaker 3: who has to pay their fair share. For instance, Natalie
30:26
Speaker 3: and I have to play pay congestion pricing every time
30:29
Speaker 3: we go in and at the time we had talkback
30:32
Speaker 3: after talkback after talkback, saying, wait a second, why don't
30:36
Speaker 3: they collect the fares on the buses. If the MTA
30:39
Speaker 3: needs money that much, why don't they collect the fares
30:42
Speaker 3: on the buses. There are selective people that are allowed
30:46
Speaker 3: to have things for free, and the rest of us
30:49
Speaker 3: have to pay for those people. And it is inherently unfair.
30:54
Speaker 3: And if you keep begging for money, but you let
30:57
Speaker 3: people ride on the MTA for free, that it's not
31:00
Speaker 3: our problem, it's your problem. And remember he was just
31:04
Speaker 3: referring to bushes. There one third of the people don't
31:07
Speaker 3: pay their subway fare. There's like four million people on
31:10
Speaker 3: the subways every day, about a million people on the bushes,
31:13
Speaker 3: a lot of them taken multiple times during the day.
31:16
Speaker 3: So you start adding that up.
31:18
Speaker 2: Oh, no, it's a lot of money. Natalie and I
31:20
Speaker 2: don't get that option. We don't get that option when
31:22
Speaker 2: we come in of not paying. No, wouldn't that be wonderful?
31:25
Speaker 2: And I'm not paying today. I wish, well, you could
31:28
Speaker 2: walk over the George Washington.
31:29
Speaker 3: Bridge, right, I could abandoned my car somewhere and then
31:32
Speaker 3: just keep walking the place.
31:33
Speaker 2: Six.
31:34
Speaker 3: That's the point they get the service they still get
31:37
Speaker 3: the same service, and then they don't have to pay
31:40
Speaker 3: for it. For us to get over for free year,
31:42
Speaker 3: right would have to walk. It's it is so unfair
31:47
Speaker 3: to anybody that makes a living in this city, and
31:51
Speaker 3: and it is directed at us.
31:53
Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about the rich. It'd be if
31:55
Speaker 2: he just went after the witch rich. Even the rich say,
31:58
Speaker 2: you know what, we can have a conversation. That's abolutely
32:00
Speaker 2: it's your case. It's not. It's the middle class now,
32:02
Speaker 2: and the service sucks. Let's just pass.
32:05
Speaker 1: On the weekends, you go into the subway, whatever line
32:09
Speaker 1: you wanted to take, Larry and Natalie.
32:11
Speaker 2: You can forget about that. It reroutes you.
32:13
Speaker 1: To another line, and the delays. It is just a
32:18
Speaker 1: miserable swamp of flotsam and jets and smells homeless, emotionally disturbed, and.
32:25
Speaker 2: Now you got to pay three bucks. You know why
32:28
Speaker 2: it's like that.
32:28
Speaker 3: You know why it's it's that bad. You know why
32:31
Speaker 3: it's slime and whatever you just called it a second ago.
32:34
Speaker 3: It's because nobody's paying their fares. That's exactly the reason
32:37
Speaker 3: it's all connected. God, all those people that called when
32:43
Speaker 3: congestion pricing was starting, they were absolutely correct. We should
32:46
Speaker 3: somehow boycott, although we'll end up in jail, won't we
32:49
Speaker 3: those people that have in jail.
32:50
Speaker 1: We come on, I've been arrested a two times. You
32:54
Speaker 1: can't get arrested in once in an act of civil disobedience.
32:57
Speaker 3: You're not somebody to follow. You're a cautionary tale when
33:02
Speaker 3: we come back. We played the stars of the hearing yesterday.
33:06
Speaker 3: Now we forgot Rick Scott. We're gonna make up for
33:08
Speaker 3: that next that's after the eight o'clock news
