  Speaker 1: You're listening to bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Fine Am six forty bill handle.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Here it is Wednesday morning, July once as we start
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: July four days away, three days away from the celebration
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: of our two hundred and fiftieth birthday. And some big
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: changes started today came in. Student loans are dealt with differently.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: If you have a student loan, it's going to be
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: more restrictive, and you've got to pay it back a
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: lot sooner. Team USA in soccer or football plays Bosnia
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Herzegovina tonight at five o'clock our time in Santa Clara.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Will see if USA moves back up and US stocks
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: record highs again.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I don't get it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: The more people were unemployed, the more money we spent
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: on gasoline, the bigger the inflation, the better we do.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: You tell me what's going on, please so, and don't
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: forget the heat warnings, extreme heat around the country and
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: people are going to die in big numbers.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Now we're going to be.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Looking over the next few days at history. Of course,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: we are the history of the United States. And as
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: always both in the Supreme Court cases and historical references,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: it depends on who you are and where in the
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: political or in the political spectrum you look at history.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: And so I'm going to go through a few major
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: personalities who are either liked or despised, depending on how
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: you write history. And this is important in light of
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: what's going on right now because the Trump administration is
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: redefining history. Slavery is a lot less important, and the
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: various parts of what a lot of people think is
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: progressivism in this country recognize the negative aspects of the
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: US and personalities are diminishing in importance while holding America
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: up to standards and saying.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: We are the greatest and downplaying the negatives.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: It's very simple, and that's exactly what the administration is doing,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: changing signage, changing exhibits, for example, the Smithsonian removing references
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: to slavery, for example, depends on how you look at it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: It's either real history or it changes everything. So I'm
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: going to go through a couple of personalities. John Brown.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: John Brown's body is a moldering in the grave. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: guess that's another way of saying rotting. Does that make sense?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: So who is John Brown? He was an abolitionist who
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: took fighting slavery to a whole new level. And what
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: he did with the group of followers, he wanted to
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: create a civil war before the Civil War civil war,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: not so much North and South, but blacks overcoming slavery
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: and actually fighting for their freedom. So what he did
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: is he attacked Harper's ferry, the arsenal at Harper's ferry
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: and tried to grab the guns and start the fight. Well,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: he was caught by the US army because that arsenal
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: was US army, and he was caught with his followers
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: and he was hanged. Now, he either is a revolutionary,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: a ze zelot who was anti society, or he is
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: a hero in fighting slavery, one or the other.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I think he was both.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I think he was an early abolitionist, an early fighter
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: of slavery and willing to die for it. And at
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: the same time he did attack the United States. And
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: so which way do you look at that?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: So he's known as.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: A hero, a fanatic, and a zealot and one of
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the ears of the anti slavery movement.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Booker T. Washington, who was black.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: And in those days called a negro because that's what
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: they used, that terminology. His message of self improvement man
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: that fits in very nicely with what many conservatives look
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: at this country, and that anyone can reap the rewards
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: of meritocracy, is what he said. He was against any
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: concept of dei. As a matter of fact, he went
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the other way. So here's his prescription. This was his
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: prescription for success. Black people, with the support of white
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: America should focus on industrial education and material progress, that
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: they should move ahead notwithstanding race and ignoring race. Actually,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: and his ideas have been revered on the right, championed
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: by black conservative conservatives like Justice Clarence Thomas. However, you know,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: let's look at his real legacy. In the summer of
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: night eighteen ninety five, when lynchings were at their all
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: time high, he delivered a speech that came to be
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: known as the Atlanta Compromise. And what he did is
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: he chied at black Americans for intellectuals, pursuits, don't go
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: to school. No race can prosper till it learns there
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: is as much dignity in tilling a field as in
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: writing a poem. Remember, Al campanis black people don't have
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: the necessities to be management. He was with La Dodgers.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: That got him a little bit of trouble at getting fired.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: And then in analogy that he made Booker T. Washington,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: who has been known as a hero among Black Americans
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: because he was very early on a huge success, he
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: said that races could be as separate as fingers, yet
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: on one hand, all things essential to mutual progress. So
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: black Americans don't really go to school. You don't have to,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: and you're not the same as whites who do go
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: to school. Yet a meritocracy, you work and that's going
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: to be your success oo. And so as you can think,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: real conservatives who say that DII doesn't exist and there
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: is no such thing as should not be anything such
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: thing as affirmative action, but basically ignore the fact that
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: there was that kind of discrimination in this country. That
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: you go to work and you will succeed no matter what.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know about that. So as you can imagine,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of controversy about that. And here's one
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: of the most famous Americans historically. Two ways of looking
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: at them. Pro black, let's move up in society versus
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: you're black and man, you should be happy with where
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: you at, where you're at, and just become successful in
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: your realm. And does not include education or being in
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: white society. Yep, all right, back we go to some
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Americans that we're going to celebrate, and at the same
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: time there is another review of them completely and we
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: don't really spend a lot of time talking about the negatives,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: certainly not with this administration, because it's only the positives,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: not the negative negatives. Thomas Jefferson, for example, one of
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: our founding fathers. I mean, it doesn't get more founding father.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: And there's very few heroes that are more respected and
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: loved than Thomas Jefferson. All men are created equal. He
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: wrote the Decoration of Independence talking about how all Americans
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: or all people are equal, except for black people. He
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: is one of the biggest slave holders because in context,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: African Americans were people.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: They just didn't count.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: But what about the Thomas Jefferson also wrote about the
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: the indy humane nature of slavery, and it was taken
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: out of the Declaration of Independence.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, originally it was put in.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was, so you talked about a contradiction, That's
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Didn't he have like six hundred slaves? Yeah, he did.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: He had more slaves than any of their founding father
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: How about this he gave no excuse for it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: No he didn't, No, he didn't. Any Sally Hemmings one
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: of his slaves, and the progeny of those slaves. That
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: people they get together, I mean they have barbecues together,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: the people that are the direct descendants of Thomas Jefferson
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: and some African Americans, some of them are white. I mean,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: it's really interesting stuff. There is a gal by the
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: named Adam Walker C. J. Walker, African American early twentieth century,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: the first woman millionaire in America, black or white, yep.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: And she did it with the hair products for African
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: American women. She built a career basically a healthcare career career.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: It was one of the first direct marketing companies. What
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: she did is she got a bunch of women under
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: her that would sell products to black women. It's extraordinary
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: her success. The problem is is that most of the
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: products were used to straighten out hair to look like
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: white women hair. And not only she did not celebrate
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: hair that was really described as kinky hair. I guess
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: is one of the ways you describe the hair amongst
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: African Americans. African America's woman. That was the term that
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: was used. And she undid that saying you don't want
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: to do that, you want to straighten your hair?
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Boy, how about that? We celebrate her, but at the.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Same time, yeah, let's look at what she did and
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: became a millionaire doing it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: D W.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Griffith, Boy, there is one of the probably one of
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: the greatest directors. He almost invented film. The modern modern
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: movie making was invented by d W.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Griffith.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: I mean he invented the close up, the camera that moves,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: the dissolve. I mean all of the procedures used today,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: or many of them, were because of him. I mean
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: an extraordinary filmmaker, a real pioneer. He filmed the first
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: great epic film, The Birth of a Nation, and it
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: had to do with celebrating the q Klux Klan and
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: dealt with slavery in a positive sense.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: It was the first blockbuster.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I mean it earned as much money as Gone with
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: the Win or Titanic in those days, and it was
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: We look at him not only as a filmmaker of
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: extraordinary note, he's going to go as one of the
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: top filmmakers, historical filmmakers in the history of filmmaking, maybe
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: the most, the most influential and was such a racist
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: that his movie, the biggest hit he ever had, Birth
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: of a Nation, expounded racism. The q Klux Klan talked
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: about the Civil War, but from the view of the
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Confederacy and just and put the q klux Klan in
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: this racism up on a pedestal. As a matter of fact,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: President Woodrow Wilson hosted a White House screening. There's another one.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Woodrow Wilson, the man who tried to stop World War One,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: the League of Nations.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: The precursor to the precursor to the Oh my God,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: is my mind just gone?
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: The UN because he did this in the teens, the
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: UN was founded after World War Two. I mean, he
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: is the father of the UN. If you want to
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: talk about that virulent anti black I mean, he was
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: about as racist as they had. He was probably the
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: most racist other than Andrew Johnson, the most racist president
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: we ever had.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Do we talk about his racism? We don't very much.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: And so there are Americans that have been put on
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: pedestals who have a whole nother life. You're not gonna
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: hear about it. By the way, I guarantee you the
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: way we celebrate America, you're not going to hear about
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Woodrow Wilson's racism. You're not going to hear about D. W. Griffith,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Griffith's racism in Birth of a Dation. You're not going
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: to hear about Madam Walker in creating her empire based
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: on let's straighten out black women's hair look like white
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: white women.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: You're not going to hear those facts.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're going to hear how great they were
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: and they were, and you're going to see hear how
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: successful they were and they were and their historic influences,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: which is true. It's just the other side of the coin. Okay,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Neil Quick Dodgers mentioned.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: Of course, your official home for Dodgers Baseball is AM
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: five seventy LA Sports. Tonight, you're back to back world
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: champion Dodgers take on the Athletics in Sacramento with first
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: pitch at six point forty. Listen on AM five seventy
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: LA Sports and streaming on the iHeartRadio app live from
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: the gallpin Ford Broadcast Booth.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Okay, it's time for Jim Keeney, chief medical officer for
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Dignity Saint Mary Medical Center in Long Beach, is our
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: medical news segment. Jim, Good Morning, do we have a
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: decent line here repeat can you hear me?
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Now I can.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Excellent. This is the world of cell phones. I mean,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: just absolutely love it. Okay, a couple of topics I
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: want to share this. This came out this morning about
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: the West Nile virus. They found one one mosquito with
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: that was carrying West Nile virus and that was in
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: the mosquito trapping the program that's around all over southern California.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And this mosquito I forgot this name. The name of
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: the mosquito was Fred or George or the amos. I
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: have no idea, and it is they're looking at all
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: of a sudden that one. And how scary is that?
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: And what is West Nile virus about? And should we
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: be frightened?
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Right? So, okay, the West Mauile virus is endemic in
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: our area, meaning it's here all the time. It generally
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: affects birds, and then the mosquitoes bite the birds, and
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: then they bite us, and then we get West mount
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: virus from mosquitoes. So it's always here. This is not necessarily,
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: you know, fatal news, but it's an early warning, you know,
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: just to remind everybody that mosquitoes do carry disease and
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: that they're not good for you, and you should really
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: try and do what you can to reduce mosquito breeding.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: So all those plants that you have outside with the
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: little water basin at the bottom of them, you've got
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: to make sure those aren't accumulating water. Definitely, if you
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: have a neighbor who has a neglected swimming pool that's
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: completely turned green, that's the kind of thing you're supposed
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: to report because that's a huge vector for mosquitos. The
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: part that people forget about is they're gutters, right because
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: you don't see them, and if you don't clean out
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: your gutters, then the water pools up there and mosquitos breathe.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: So mosquito's carried disease, and west now virus is one
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: of them. You know, it's not one out of five
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: people who get west nol virus show symptoms, so most
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: people don't show any symptoms, but one out of one
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: hundred and fifty will be so bad that they'll get hospitalized.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: So it's not something that has these huge outbreaks where
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: you see tons of people with it, but it can
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: be serious. It's something you would like to avoid and
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: if it's as simple as using bug repellent or reducing
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: the number of areas with pooling water. It's worth doing.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just became big news, which I find interesting because
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: when we talk to you, it's basically, you know, big whoop.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: What I found.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Interesting it is it's indigenous to southern California, particularly LA.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: That was kind of interesting. I enjoyed that.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: So okay, yeah, I mean they found it isn't the
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: first mosquito in California. You know, they've spent they found,
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: We've had one human case. They found about ninety dead
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: birds that were West Nile virus POSI. You're supposed to
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: report dead birds so they can come out, get them,
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: test them for West Nile virus because that is an indicator.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: And then you know about of the state samples, about
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty have been positive so far this year.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: So it's out there. It's something you want to try
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: and avoid.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, now there are this is interesting. There is work
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: from Washington University. I guess medicine, right, do I have
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: that right? Accelerated biological age markers and early on set cancer.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: That's something that's going to affect all of us. So
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: what's going on with that.
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this article is interesting. I mean I could talk
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: about this one for probably an hour because it's just
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: so interesting that they're they're looking at things, first of all,
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: biological age, difference between that and your calendar age. Right.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: Your biological age measures things like inflammatory markers, other immune
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: system function, those type of things, and they look at
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: how at any given age, you know, what should that
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: look like as opposed to your chronological age is just
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: your birthday and how long you've been on the planet. Right,
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: So it looked at They have this study population that
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: we've talked about before from the UK. It's called the
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: UK Biobank, where they have, you know, hundreds of thousands
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: of participants. The US has something similar called all of
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: US Search Program. It's not as robust of a database,
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: but they're pulling from this database. So this isn't a
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: prospective study where we're trying to experiment with something. This
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: is what we call just an observational cohort study. We
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: have all this data, it's sitting in a data repository
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: and we're just asking it questions. So we could find
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: stuff that just is there from random champs. But in
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: this case, they're looking at all these different cancer risk
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: markers and well age markers that may increase your risk
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: for cancer, and it turns out that they do that
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: they are associated with a higher risk for cancer. And
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: again oserational study. We've talked about this before, when the
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: if rooster crows and the sun comes up, did the
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: rooster make the sun come up?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: No?
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: So things that are associated don't always mean they cause
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: each other. But in this case it's pretty powerful. I
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: mean they're looking at the hundreds of thousands of people
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: and what they showed was that you do have a
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: significantly higher risk if you're born during a certain period
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: of time because your biological age markers are higher. So
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: people born between nineteen sixty five nineteen seventy four have
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: a higher standard age gap from where you know, the
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: gap of their biological marker to their chronological age compared
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: to people who were born before that. But people born
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: between nineteen ninety and nineteen ninety nine had ninety two
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: percent higher age gap. So it's inmrisicantly higher.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I was born before that, you were born
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: before that, So you know we're in good shape.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: Hey, I a shape. But what this means Bill is
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: that you know, as doctors We're typically not thinking, you know,
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: colon cancer in a thirty year old. That's just not
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: what we normally think. But we have to start thinking
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: that way because the younger generation is biologically aging faster.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: One other thing I wanted to point out, and that
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: was I wanted your opinion on this, because yesterday I
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: did one of those Blastow tests where it's in the gym,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: where you stand on this device is basically looks like
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: a scale and you hold on to something and it
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: measures your B and I and it measures all kinds
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: of things. And here I am, and they said I
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: was maybe fifteen twenty pounds overweight. I weigh one hundred
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: and seventy three pounds and I'm six feet tall and
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I am twenty pounds overweight. Is the US government still
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: talking about a healthy weight that you're cadaverous looking?
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean yeah, if we're talking about your healthiest weight,
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: your healthiest weight should be, you know, somewhere around you know,
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: fifteen to twenty percent body fat. So if you have
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: more than that, you're probably you're carrying excess weight. That's
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: pretty high actually, so you know, you're definitely carrying excess weight.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: Most people have to struggle to get to that level.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: By the way, so you know, most of us are
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: walking around with extra fat that we don't need, and
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: certain types of fat are flammatory. They do increase your
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: risk for cancer. They cause a lot of other problems
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: besides just the weight itself there. They cause impacts on
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: your vascular system. So, yeah, there is an ideal, and
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: nobody is expecting you to look like you know the ideal.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: And that's the other thing is about these You're not
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: competing with some standard. What you are is these are
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: perfect for somebody who wants to start exercising. And what
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: you're looking for is am I getting better? You're only
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: competing with yourself. So the goal is look at those
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: numbers right now and see what you can do to
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: improve them. And the great thing is then you can
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: introduce things into your lifestyle, your diet, your medications, whatever,
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: and now you have a baseline to look at and say,
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: am I better off now than I was before I
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: started whatever I'm doing?
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: So the bottom line, according to the US standards, if
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: you end up looking like an extra in a holocaust film,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: that's going to be the the going to be the healthiest.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's terrific.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: I really enjoyed that yesterday and then really, no, you
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: know what, we don't have time for this.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: We'll do it next week.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: And that has to do with your AI doctor, uh
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: doesn't have to follow the same privacy rules as your
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: real doctor. H and I get questions on handle on
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: the law all the time about oh, this is violation
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: of HIPPA when medical information is shared with, for example,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: insurance companies. Of course, medical information has to be shared
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: with insurance companies. Are you looking at AI and have
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: any fear that AI is going to uh well not
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: have the same privacy rules.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: Oh, it doesn't have the same privacy rules.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: No, I understand. Does that Does that bother you?
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah? You know it doesn't because I don't put my
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: personal information in there, but you know it, Yes, you're
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: going to On one hand, you have consumer AI rules.
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: On the other hand, you have medical HIPPAA rules. So yeah,
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: we can, I mean we can talk about that again.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well no, we'll do that next week.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: Because AI has so much to offer but also so
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: much risk.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted to talk about that.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: How AI is involved not only with privacy but also
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: it's involvement with medicine and how we deal with it.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: And that's a big, big topic that we're not talking
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: about enough.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Jim, I'll catch you next week. Did you did Jim
