Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
- 0:04Speaker 1: six forty.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, the ceasefire has been extended a day after it
- 0:12Speaker 2: was supposed to end, and the attack was going to
- 0:16Speaker 2: continue on. No, no, again, we're the president is extending
- 0:21Speaker 2: this time indefinitely until some kind of a peace deal
- 0:25Speaker 2: is arranged and then it's gonna If it doesn't happen, well,
- 0:29Speaker 2: the attacks continue on.
- 0:30Speaker 3: Oh.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Also, Cash Patel, FBI director, he's been accused of being drunk.
- 0:36Speaker 2: The Atlantic published it and he has sued for two
- 0:40Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollars. He said he's never been
- 0:43Speaker 2: intoxicated on the job. And he said this at a
- 0:47Speaker 2: press conference in which a reporter raises his hand and
- 0:50Speaker 2: he said, you with six fingers up, please, I'll take
- 0:55Speaker 2: your question. No, I have never been intoxicated.
- 0:58Speaker 3: I'll take the question from the twins.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yes, all right, let's make let me get
- 1:10Speaker 2: to a topic about the Supreme Court.
- 1:11Speaker 3: Supreme Court's gotten really weird.
- 1:14Speaker 2: It used to present itself as this united group of
- 1:17Speaker 2: justices and the rulings when the majority ruled one way
- 1:22Speaker 2: or the other, and when they referred to president, it
- 1:25Speaker 2: was always the Court. Well, now it seems like they're
- 1:29Speaker 2: solo operators. Seven of them have written or about to
- 1:33Speaker 2: publish books telling about their lives or approach to the law.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Some have been on the stump in recent weeks touting
- 1:40Speaker 2: their individual message. It is not business as usual. I mean,
- 1:45Speaker 2: there was a time when there was one Justice antonin Scalia.
- 1:49Speaker 2: We're talking about within recent history. He served until twenty sixteen,
- 1:55Speaker 2: and he stood out. He had confrontational speeches, he had
- 1:58Speaker 2: a lot of extra curriculs writings, and he barnstormed campuses
- 2:03Speaker 2: and try to build support for his originalist support approach
- 2:07Speaker 2: because he was the original originalist who talked about original
- 2:12Speaker 2: origination originally, and that is you look at the Constitution
- 2:17Speaker 2: only as the document, and you look at the four corners.
- 2:21Speaker 2: You just look at the document. You don't it's not
- 2:23Speaker 2: a living, breathing document the Constitution. It is what it
- 2:27Speaker 2: says it is. That's an originalist. So today you've got
- 2:32Speaker 2: a bunch of justices working on their own brand. Kaitanji Brown, Jackson,
- 2:38Speaker 2: Amy Cony, Barrett Sonya sodabayor Neil Gorsich have a book
- 2:43Speaker 2: related tours and deals.
- 2:45Speaker 3: So it's all over the place.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Both conservatives and the liberals, I mean all of them
- 2:48Speaker 2: are jumping into them today. You've got polarization, you got
- 2:53Speaker 2: these judges, you got ongoing pressure of the Trump administration.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Administration.
- 2:58Speaker 2: You now have a bench that is marked by discord,
- 3:01Speaker 2: and the justice are making that public and they're doing
- 3:05Speaker 2: so by pitching their own views.
- 3:08Speaker 3: The only one other than Scalia was William O.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Douglas, who was a He was the last justice that
- 3:17Speaker 2: was appointed by FDR.
- 3:18Speaker 3: Super liberal, I mean super liberal. Great story on.
- 3:23Speaker 2: He was sort of the forefront of First Amendment and
- 3:27Speaker 2: even to the point of pornography. He ruled that pornography
- 3:32Speaker 2: is a First Amendment right and there should be no limit.
- 3:35Speaker 2: And yeah, it's a great story. So the Supreme Court
- 3:40Speaker 2: had pornal films. They were shown pornal films to decide
- 3:45Speaker 2: what is pornography and what is not.
- 3:47Speaker 3: He wouldn't even go. He said, it doesn't matter. I
- 3:51Speaker 3: don't care.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Then Thurgood Marshall, the first black justice, who by the way,
- 3:56Speaker 2: was Lee justice and Brown versus Board of Education, and
- 3:59Speaker 2: he was appointed ILBJ. He ran to the theater to
- 4:04Speaker 2: see the porno films. He was always the first one in.
- 4:08Speaker 2: He would not miss one. Now different justices think different.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Ways in any way.
- 4:14Speaker 2: You've got these individual justices going all over the place.
- 4:19Speaker 2: And why are they cutting book deals? Well, they're the
- 4:22Speaker 2: money they can make speaking is very limited. The law
- 4:27Speaker 2: only allows a limited amount of money with book deals.
- 4:31Speaker 2: They are exempt. They can cut whatever deal they want.
- 4:35Speaker 2: And there's a few of them there in the millions
- 4:37Speaker 2: of dollars, and so they're jumping in it. There's only
- 4:41Speaker 2: two justices that are saying no and that have not
- 4:45Speaker 2: done this. And you've got Sonya Mayor and you have
- 4:49Speaker 2: a Chief Justice Roberts. Those are the only two. The
- 4:51Speaker 2: other seven are cutting deals like crazy. And it used
- 4:54Speaker 2: to be that memoirs used to be written after a
- 4:59Speaker 2: justice retire.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Not anymore.
- 5:02Speaker 2: They're sworn in and as the arm goes down, pick
- 5:07Speaker 2: up a pen and they sign that book deal memoirs
- 5:11Speaker 2: and their philosophy of the court cases. And people are
- 5:17Speaker 2: upset about this and why, Well, first of all, oh,
- 5:21Speaker 2: look at this, because there is a super conservative court
- 5:25Speaker 2: and that's what's causing this. Now, if it was a
- 5:28Speaker 2: super liberal court, it would be exactly the same thing.
- 5:31Speaker 2: It's just a different way for the court to become polarized.
- 5:35Speaker 2: And it has so Now the polarization has gone from Congress,
- 5:41Speaker 2: both the House and the Senate, and of course the
- 5:43Speaker 2: presidency part and parcel of this insane level of polarization,
- 5:48Speaker 2: and it has reached the Supreme Court, the last bastion
- 5:53Speaker 2: of collegal collegial relations where justices respect each other.
- 5:59Speaker 3: And they don't. They don't.
- 6:02Speaker 2: They're on their own, they're on their solo operators, and
- 6:08Speaker 2: they're pitching what they want. Clarence Thomas is he is
- 6:13Speaker 2: the best at pitching his philosophy. I mean, he is
- 6:18Speaker 2: as conservative as a justice is. He's cut a deal
- 6:23Speaker 2: and he is arguing that liberalism has killed America.
- 6:29Speaker 3: It's that simple.
- 6:31Speaker 2: The progressives have destroyed America. This is a Supreme Court justice,
- 6:38Speaker 2: and so imagine it's a good salary. And Associate Justice
- 6:42Speaker 2: makes three hundred and six thousand dollars, the Chief Justice
- 6:45Speaker 2: makes three hundred and twenty thousand dollars. I mean, it's
- 6:47Speaker 2: a good living, but it's not a three million dollar
- 6:50Speaker 2: advance on a book. That's a very different animal. Now,
- 6:57Speaker 2: China is at the top of the heat when it
- 6:59Speaker 2: comes to humanoid robots. So on last Sunday in Beijing,
- 7:05Speaker 2: there was a half marathon race and there was a
- 7:09Speaker 2: humanoid running you know how they run. Lightning was its
- 7:13Speaker 2: staying five foot five, and it was in its own
- 7:17Speaker 2: lane with other humanoid robots, and it wiped out the
- 7:23Speaker 2: record of any other robot and human runners in the
- 7:27Speaker 2: half marathon by a long shot.
- 7:30Speaker 3: Like ten minutes.
- 7:32Speaker 2: It even fell down and was helped back up with
- 7:35Speaker 2: help from humans. It rebalanced and ran across the finish
- 7:40Speaker 2: line ten times ten minutes faster than the human.
- 7:45Speaker 3: World record holder.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Also faster obviously than the twelve thousand humans running the
- 7:50Speaker 2: race in a separate lane, because it's pretty heavy stuff
- 7:56Speaker 2: to say the least. So you have robots now fast
- 8:00Speaker 2: are more autonomous this year than ever, and Alan Ferns,
- 8:05Speaker 2: robotics professor at Oregon State University, said these robots was
- 8:09Speaker 2: happening is far more about the state of manufacturing robot
- 8:15Speaker 2: hardware than about any major scientific breakthrough. I mean, this
- 8:18Speaker 2: is off the shelf stuff. There's no massive scientific breakthrough here.
- 8:24Speaker 2: It's been incremental scientific never's incremental knowledge, and the Chinese
- 8:31Speaker 2: have just done a much better job of just putting
- 8:33Speaker 2: it together. China has been pushing hard to make rabbit
- 8:39Speaker 2: rapid advancements in robotics maybeing rabbit ones. More robots at
- 8:44Speaker 2: work in China than the rest of the world combined.
- 8:49Speaker 2: That's how fanatic China is about this. And last year
- 8:54Speaker 2: Beijing hosted the world's first humanoid robot games featuring running,
- 9:00Speaker 2: kickboxing soccer. Think about that punching. The robots flailed around, crashed,
- 9:09Speaker 2: fell over many times. What is that game that you
- 9:12Speaker 2: can play with the robots where they're doing their fighting.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Rock em sock them robots? Yeah, I think it is
- 9:19Speaker 3: rock em sock em.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know how you say rock em sockem
- 9:22Speaker 2: in Chinese, but it certainly seems to work. Beijing called
- 9:29Speaker 2: Sunday's race a major step forward. They brought robotics industry. Hey,
- 9:35Speaker 2: the world is here. You know, we were talking about
- 9:37Speaker 2: robots helping out, robots doing chores at home. Now it's
- 9:42Speaker 2: still pretty complicated, because even picking up a glass of
- 9:47Speaker 2: orange juice takes an enormous amount of programming and the
- 9:53Speaker 2: simply robotic knowledge. But we're already there. It's just it's
- 9:57Speaker 2: extraordinary what's going on with robotic And you put a
- 10:01Speaker 2: I together with the robotics. Are robot's going to be thinking?
- 10:07Speaker 2: Are robots going to be eliminating human beings.
- 10:12Speaker 3: Science fiction.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Is it going to happen? You know, they're certainly going
- 10:18Speaker 2: to be thinking. I mean, there's no question about that.
- 10:21Speaker 2: And the scientists, the robotic, the computer scientists are saying
- 10:26Speaker 2: it doesn't matter because what goes what goes in a
- 10:29Speaker 2: robot is what.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Humans put in it.
- 10:32Speaker 2: But it's going to reach the point what what goes
- 10:34Speaker 2: in a robot, it's going to be a thinking machine. Now,
- 10:40Speaker 2: is it going to happen in our lifetime? Not in mind?
- 10:45Speaker 2: So I don't care. I don't give a rat's ass
- 10:47Speaker 2: what happens to you after I die. But you know
- 10:50Speaker 2: I'd be a little frightened, frankly. Okay, some before we
- 10:55Speaker 2: get to gym some of the stories that we are covering.
- 10:58Speaker 3: President Trump said the US is indefinitely.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Extending its ceasefire with Iran, a day before I was
- 11:05Speaker 2: set to expire. So the good news, he doesn't have
- 11:07Speaker 2: to say next Tuesday, next Wednesday, over the weekend anymore.
- 11:11Speaker 2: We're gonna do it tonight, We're gonna do tomorrow morning.
- 11:13Speaker 2: We're gonna do the attack. Now.
- 11:14Speaker 3: It's an indefinite YEP.
- 11:16Speaker 2: And FBI Director Cash Pattel sued the Atlantic for two
- 11:21Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollars because they said he was
- 11:25Speaker 2: drunk during the course of his job during the day
- 11:29Speaker 2: and he at a press conference as he was falling
- 11:33Speaker 2: off the stage said I am not drunk, and he
- 11:37Speaker 2: was slurring his words.
- 11:38Speaker 3: Okay, fair enough.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Jim Kinney, who is a chief medical officer for Dignity
- 11:44Speaker 2: Saint Mary Medical Center in Long Beach.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Jim, good morning, morning Bill. Yes, oh, you know what
- 11:52Speaker 3: we didn't do yes or last week.
- 11:55Speaker 2: And I don't know if you remember the topic, and
- 11:57Speaker 2: that was sleep banking only because that's happening at my house.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Do you want to spend a minute or two telling
- 12:04Speaker 2: you about that?
- 12:06Speaker 1: Sure? Okay, so you know, okay, Number one this is
- 12:10Speaker 1: this is not a strategy for life, right, This is
- 12:12Speaker 1: not a way to get through life. But this study
- 12:15Speaker 1: was kind of interesting. It showed that if you knew
- 12:18Speaker 1: that you had a period of time coming up where
- 12:20Speaker 1: you weren't going to get enough sleep. When they measured
- 12:23Speaker 1: you know, your response times and your your ability to
- 12:27Speaker 1: your cognitive abilities, you actually did a little bit better
- 12:30Speaker 1: if you sleep banked, meaning you got like an extra
- 12:33Speaker 1: half hour of sleep for four or five days before
- 12:37Speaker 1: you entered into this time where you were not going
- 12:39Speaker 1: to get enough sleep. So you know, it's interesting, but
- 12:43Speaker 1: we all know that, I mean, sleep was kind of
- 12:45Speaker 1: critical to good health and and you know you can't
- 12:49Speaker 1: you can't really save up sleep or other people. What
- 12:52Speaker 1: they do is they'll they'll stay up for nights in
- 12:55Speaker 1: a row and say, oh, I can make up for
- 12:57Speaker 1: it later by sleeping longer, say over the weekend or
- 13:01Speaker 1: in the next few days. And that really doesn't help
- 13:03Speaker 1: your health at all.
- 13:05Speaker 2: Okay, talking about not helping your health, let's move over
- 13:09Speaker 2: to when you gain weight.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Now.
- 13:12Speaker 2: I just went to Disneyland Monday with Amy and there
- 13:17Speaker 2: were so many fat people in those fat people's scooters
- 13:21Speaker 2: that we ended up having a little game, and that
- 13:24Speaker 2: is guessing how much someone weighed as they were sitting
- 13:28Speaker 2: in those scooters and the asses dripped over the seat.
- 13:32Speaker 2: And I think I won most of the time. You
- 13:35Speaker 2: know why, because I went up to people and go,
- 13:37Speaker 2: how much do you weigh? Naturally, I wish I had.
- 13:41Speaker 2: But the point is the number of fat people that
- 13:45Speaker 2: are well at Disneyland scooting around those scooters of course
- 13:49Speaker 2: brings that the to front of mind. But weight gain
- 13:54Speaker 2: and decide how and and how long you live is
- 13:56Speaker 2: a real thing, isn't it.
- 13:59Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean there's plenty of studies that show that
- 14:02Speaker 1: obesity is tied to a lot of health problems, you know,
- 14:07Speaker 1: just high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, type two diabetes, but
- 14:11Speaker 1: also tied to a higher risk of dying. But there's
- 14:14Speaker 1: this recent study. The one that I sent was this
- 14:18Speaker 1: large pooled Swedish cohort study. So again this is not
- 14:23Speaker 1: there's a few issues not American study, and Sweden has
- 14:26Speaker 1: a much more uniform, you know, genetic pool. But it
- 14:29Speaker 1: was six hundred and twenty thousand adults and they've tracked
- 14:33Speaker 1: them from seventeen years of age to sixty years of age,
- 14:36Speaker 1: and they looked at all cause mortality, meaning any reason
- 14:40Speaker 1: they died. And it turns out that if you became
- 14:43Speaker 1: obese before the age of thirty, you had eighty four
- 14:46Speaker 1: percent higher risk of early death if you're a woman,
- 14:49Speaker 1: and seventy nine percent higher risk if you were a man.
- 14:52Speaker 1: So about eighty percent increase in risk across the sexes
- 14:56Speaker 1: for being heavy before age thirty. So it just goes
- 15:01Speaker 1: to show you that that there's kind of an area
- 15:05Speaker 1: under the curve if you hear. The longer that you
- 15:08Speaker 1: suffer from obesity, the more damage it does to your body,
- 15:13Speaker 1: and the more likelihood you are to have, you know,
- 15:16Speaker 1: physical and health consequences.
- 15:20Speaker 2: All right, So it's fair to say that Will, Coleschreiber
- 15:24Speaker 2: and Neil we're not.
- 15:24Speaker 3: Going to be with us next week. How dare you?
- 15:31Speaker 2: Hey, Hey, listen, hey, I'm just getting into a thirty
- 15:35Speaker 2: six waist. I'm just about there. Neil, I could get
- 15:40Speaker 2: into a thirty six. Ways you couldn't get into a
- 15:42Speaker 2: thirty six with one leg?
- 15:46Speaker 3: How dare you? I'm going to get my guts tied
- 15:48Speaker 3: up just like you, sir. Now, I know, Will, what
- 15:51Speaker 3: size waist? Yeah?
- 15:54Speaker 2: He's not paying attention, he's just looking.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Well, we're both looking pretty good at the loud party, Like.
- 16:00Speaker 3: Yeah, extra doctor, Well what size waist? Do we have?
- 16:07Speaker 3: Forty two issues? It's not bad. Forty four? Well, forty
- 16:11Speaker 3: four is getting up there.
- 16:13Speaker 2: I thought it would be, you know, fifty to fifty two,
- 16:16Speaker 2: but it doesn't matter.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Okay, let's do this. That's uh, the fatter you know,
- 16:21Speaker 3: when you look at.
- 16:22Speaker 2: These huge people, I mean, you know, four hundred five
- 16:25Speaker 2: hundred pound people, I mean, that's got to be just
- 16:30Speaker 2: the pressure the weight has to just kill you. Actually,
- 16:35Speaker 2: And so when you're looking at someone who is that
- 16:38Speaker 2: heavy and you see those all over the place, are
- 16:41Speaker 2: we looking at almost imminent death?
- 16:45Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't work that way now, not imminent death.
- 16:48Speaker 4: But I mean again, you're all the things that contribute
- 16:52Speaker 4: to cardiovascular health, you know, put your risk for heart attacks, strokes,
- 16:56Speaker 4: everything else, like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, all
- 16:59Speaker 4: these things, they are definitely increased in that situation.
- 17:03Speaker 1: So I think at this point, everybody knows the message
- 17:06Speaker 1: is out. Everybody knows that that to lose weight and
- 17:10Speaker 1: to be a healthy weight, uh not you know, bone
- 17:14Speaker 1: thin or anything like that. Just a healthy weight is
- 17:17Speaker 1: the best thing you can do for your health.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm when I'm in, I'm gonna eminent. Yes,
- 17:22Speaker 2: I wasn't hearring about next week. But you can just
- 17:25Speaker 2: see someone who just has a hard time to even
- 17:28Speaker 2: walking and getting up.
- 17:29Speaker 3: It's it's tough to see it is, all.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Right, Uh, Jim, I'm looking at this. A vaccine for
- 17:36Speaker 2: pancreatic cancer, Now that's got to be new. I mean,
- 17:39Speaker 2: pinkreatic cancer is like one of the worst because once
- 17:43Speaker 2: you're diagnosed you're dead in a week.
- 17:45Speaker 3: So uh, let's talk about that, okay.
- 17:50Speaker 1: U pink creatic cancer. You're right, it's measured that the
- 17:52Speaker 1: death is measured in months, not years. Typically it's a
- 17:57Speaker 1: it's a very serious cancer and a lot of great treatments.
- 18:01Speaker 1: And so what this group at Sloan and Kevin did
- 18:05Speaker 1: was they tried to do what others have tried in
- 18:08Speaker 1: other cancers and to make a vaccine so we can
- 18:11Speaker 1: harness your own immune system to attack the cancer and
- 18:17Speaker 1: hopefully keep it at bay. And what they found is
- 18:20Speaker 1: they have people that respond, and in those responders, your
- 18:24Speaker 1: T cells that attack the cancer can last up to
- 18:27Speaker 1: four years after the vaccine. They have somebody that's alive
- 18:31Speaker 1: six years later, one of their original cohorts in the study.
- 18:35Speaker 1: But you know this is an early thing, right, this
- 18:38Speaker 1: is stage one. Stage one studies are just to look
- 18:42Speaker 1: for safety. Right, We're really focusing on does anything bad
- 18:46Speaker 1: happen when we inject this stuff, and so it's not
- 18:50Speaker 1: really looking at efficacy. So it's going to be interesting
- 18:52Speaker 1: to see on a broader scale we're giving it to
- 18:55Speaker 1: more people how effective this actually is.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Yeah, when it comes to vaccines, treatments for cancer, for example, cancer.
- 19:03Speaker 2: I mean, there are hundreds of cancers out there right
- 19:06Speaker 2: and to grab all of them is going to take
- 19:09Speaker 2: years and years, decades, I would think.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Yeah, but once it's kind of like the you know,
- 19:16Speaker 1: almost like the COVID vaccine model, as far as once
- 19:19Speaker 1: you develop a delivery system that seems to work and
- 19:22Speaker 1: seems to trigger the immune system, it's a lot easier
- 19:25Speaker 1: to develop the next one and the next one. So
- 19:28Speaker 1: you know, if you can, if you can use genetics
- 19:31Speaker 1: to that's what they're doing, is they're using the genes
- 19:33Speaker 1: of the tumor itself and using your own genes to
- 19:37Speaker 1: program this this vaccine to create in an immune system
- 19:42Speaker 1: that responds, and you know, one you can really apply
- 19:47Speaker 1: it to a lot of different things, you know, and
- 19:50Speaker 1: you know, so we have there's there. We have preventative
- 19:53Speaker 1: cancer vaccines already right, like the cervical cancer vaccine, that
- 19:57Speaker 1: type of thing hepatitis B is actually prevents cancer. But
- 20:01Speaker 1: we also have some cancers that are are some vaccines
- 20:04Speaker 1: that are geared towards towards this as well. You know,
- 20:08Speaker 1: Cuba worked on the lung cancer vaccine for a while
- 20:12Speaker 1: because and they've had good results partnering lifts long kettering
- 20:17Speaker 1: actually in New York and because you know, because of
- 20:22Speaker 1: the fact that they sell a lot of cigars that
- 20:25Speaker 1: they want to make sure they have a chance for
- 20:26Speaker 1: lung cancer.
