They're not being very forthcoming on what 11 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 2: happened with the double tap strike of the vessel. But 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 2: now we've seized an oil tanker today, which I thought 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 2: seizing an oil tanker seems like a real. 14 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 4: Escalation tonight, the dramatic escalation. 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 3: The up just said that this from maybec News. 16 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 4: Whos seizing an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. 17 00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 4: Navy helicopter swooping in, swarming the ship, US Coast Guard 18 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 4: forces propelling down onto the deck, armed with long guns, 19 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 4: meticulously searching the ship.

Oh okay, why on the coast of 22 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: Venezuela large tanker, very large. 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, large tanker, all right, but it 24 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: probably wasn't like the largest tanker ever seized. 25 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 5: Largest one ever seees actent, wow, and other things are happening. 26 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 4: Attorney General Pam Bondi tonight says the tanker was used 27 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 4: to transport sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran and is 28 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 4: part of an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations. 29 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: All right, So the idea here is that Venezuela was 30 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: sending oil to Iran. But you're not supposed to send 31 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: oil to Iran because they're sanctions on oiled to a runner. 32 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 4: Guests, sources telling ABC News it was headed for Cuba, 33 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 4: capable of carrying up to two million barrels of oil. 34 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: So it was Iran sending No, it was carrying Venezuelan 35 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: oil from a state owned oil company. 36 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 3: Oh okay. 37 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 2: A federal judge issued a seizure warning roughly two weeks 38 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: ago because the ship's past activities smuggling illicit Iranian oil. 39 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 3: Oh okay. 40 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: Prosecutor said that Iran uses oil sales to fund its 41 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 2: armed forces, which the US is designated to terroriced entity, 42 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: all right, now, I understand, not really. 43 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: It was sized for very good reason. 44 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 4: No good reason today seizure marking the first time the 45 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 4: US has overtly interfered with oil exports, Venezuela's main source 46 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 4: of revenue. 47 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: Did you hear the question, the reporter said, what happens 48 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: to the oil on the ship? That's a good question, 49 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: not like it's our oil. 50 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 3: Well we keep it. I guess it is now and. 51 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: That feels like that would be in violation of some 52 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 2: sort of international and we're just we just take it. 53 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 3: It's a little odd. 54 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: Until now, the US has been targeting boats they say 55 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 4: are carrying drugs, striking at least twenty two boats and 56 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 4: killing nearly ninety people, including two survivors. At the heart 57 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 4: of the latest controversy, a growing number of Republicans now 58 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 4: demanding the video of that second strike on survivors be released. 59 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 4: But so far the administration hasn't budged. 60 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, they haven't, and a House panel is now saying 61 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: they're going to end the probe, They're going. 62 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 3: To stop looking into that. Washington Post. 63 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: Republican chairman of the House Armed Services Committee said Tuesday 64 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: that he planned to end the inquiry into the US 65 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: military strike that killed the two survivors. Mike Rodgers, Alabama, 66 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: telling reporters that he had received all of the information 67 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: he needed after launching the probes less than two weeks ago. 68 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: Spokesperson for Rodgers confirming his plans no timeline though for 69 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: winding things down. That was a rather abrupt announcement, casting 70 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 2: doubt on what has perhaps been the most muscular oversight 71 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: effort from Congress during Pete Hegsith's tenure as Secretary of Defense. 72 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: Tonight's seizure of that oil tanker marks a new chapter 73 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 4: in the pressure campaign on Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro. 74 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: So how far would you go. 75 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 2: To take Maduro out of office? 76 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 6: I don't want to say that, but. 77 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: But you want to see him out? 78 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 3: His days are numbered. 79 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: So, I mean everything we've talked about has been about 80 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: getting the Duro out right. 81 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like it's a secret. 82 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: I mean we say, oh, we're going after the We're 83 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: going after these boats because they're drug boats. 84 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: That's the justification. 85 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 2: But then there's pardoning going on of the former Hunt 86 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: Durant president who was convicted of. 87 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 3: Drug smuggling, drug trafficking. 88 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: There's far more drug trafficking that happens on the Pacific 89 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 2: side of the America's then on the Caribbean side of 90 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: the Americas. If our goal is to go after a 91 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: drug Oh and Venezuela is not a source for fentanyl, right, 92 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 2: that's coming from Mexico, but through Mexico from China. If 93 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: our goal really is drugs, this is about the least 94 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: effective way to go about it. 95 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 3: This is like saying, I'm saving for a down payment 96 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 3: on my house. How you doing that? Well, I'm putting 97 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 3: spare change in a jar. I mean, yeah, yess. 98 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: You could say that that is saving, but that's probably 99 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: not the most effective way to save for a down 100 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 2: payment on a house. Right, So yeah, you could say 101 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 2: we're we're going after the drugs, but that's really this 102 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: is really not the most effective way to go after 103 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 2: the drugs, right, right? Can you rule out an American 104 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: ground invasion? 105 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 3: I don't want to rule in or out. I don't 106 00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 3: talk about it. 107 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 4: Late today Venuzuela calling the seizure of the tanker a 108 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 4: blatant robbery, and David, make no mistake, the US seizure 109 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 4: of that oil tanker off Venezuela is a significant escalation 110 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 4: you saw those images of the US Navy helicopter storming 111 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 4: that tanker. 112 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, they released that footage. 113 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: We would have the footage of the double tap on 114 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 2: the fishing boat, but we've got the We've got this 115 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: footage that came out right away. 116 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 4: The US now has fifteen thousand forces in the region, 117 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 4: and it's not just Venezuela.

Well, who are the biggest allies? 122 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: Uh, you're probably gonna You're probably thinking like China or Russia. Right, Yes, 123 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 2: I don't think that we're I don't think that we're 124 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 2: launching some sort of a proxy I. 125 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 3: Don't think we're getting into You remember. 126 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 2: The proxy wars that happened during the Cold War, right, 127 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: I don't think we're getting into that situation because we 128 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: we still have a we have a we have an 129 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: open relationship with Russia right now. I mean, the President 130 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: can pick up the phone and call Putin and he'll 131 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: take his call. It's not as though we we I 132 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: don't think we're in a cold war with Russia. I mean, 133 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 2: KA Kamala Harris been elected, then maybe the relationship with 134 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: Russia would have been more tense. 135 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 3: Maybe you could have sold me on that. But it's Trump. 136 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 2: Trump is like, oh, I'll call Putin and I'll work 137 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: out a deal with with Zelensky right, which was favorable 138 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: to the first deal it was pitching. It was favorable 139 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: to Russia is supposed to get back with another deal 140 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: very shortly here with a counter proposal. But I don't 141 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: like what what's the advantage. 142 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 3: I don't see the I don't see the advantage. 143 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: I don't I don't know why we would want to 144 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 2: start a proxy war with Russia. 145 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 7: China is also a supporter of Venezuela. 146 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: Well, that's what I mean. That's why I said China 147 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: or Russia. Now the China thing makes a little more 148 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: sense to me. That does make a little more sense. 149 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: But I honestly think that this is more about Venezuela. 150 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: I really think that this is just direct on Venezuela. 151 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: I think this is about Maduro from UPI, the oil 152 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: taker seizure in the presence of US military and international 153 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: waters near Venezuela are likely to discourage oiler companies from 154 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: transporting Venezuelan crude. 155 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 3: Oil shippers will likely be much. 156 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: More cautious and hesitant about loading Venezuelan crude going forward. That, 157 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: according to an oil analyst telling CNBC, Yeah, I'm just 158 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not sold on the proxy war thing. Well, 159 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: I think you kind of have to factor in that 160 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 2: Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves. 161 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 3: So are we getting are we getting involved in another 162 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 3: war for oil? Could be? 163 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 2: I mean, when have we ever been successful with stuff 164 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 2: in Central and South America. Oh, we're gonna We're gonna 165 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: go after the drug No war on drugs we lost. Oh, 166 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: let's send the CIA into the jungles of Nope doesn't work. 167 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 2: Gorilla what Nope doesn't work? Why don't we fund the gorillas? 168 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: Nope doesn't work. I don't know. 169 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't I don't know. I don't know. 170 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 2: I feel like we're I feel like we're picking a 171 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 2: fight we don't need to pick. But I'm not in 172 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: those security meetings.

Maybe Venezuela has beef. 256 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 2: You know, we sent the like twenty billion dollars to 257 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: Argentina because our cattle herds are down here and we 258 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 2: wanted to try to lower the price on beef. So 259 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 2: then the American farmers went, what are you doing? You said, 260 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: a bunch of money over to Venezuela, and farmers are like, 261 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: that's not cool. So then basically the White House went oh, whoa, 262 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 2: you know what, You're right, we sent twenty billion dollars 263 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: to Argentina. We should be helping out American farmers. And 264 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: so yesterday we got that work. 265 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 10: One of the farmers actually sitting next to the president 266 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 10: and said that Christmas has come early for them. Many 267 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 10: have been feeling the impact from the trade war with 268 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 10: China and dealing with high costs for things like fertilizer, fuel, 269 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 10: and seeds. 270 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: All right, so trade war, which is basically the tariffs 271 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: kind of in the middle of all that, right, has 272 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: driven up the cost and that's hurt the local farmers. 273 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 10: Farm Bureau analysis of USA data found American farmers are 274 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 10: in the red for a third year in a row, 275 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 10: with farmers spending one hundred and seventy nine billion dollars 276 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 10: to produce just one hundred and forty four billion dollars 277 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 10: worth of crops. 278 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 2: I'm no mathematician, and I feel like that's not great business. 279 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 10: The current crop years twenty eight billion dollars shortfall will 280 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 10: push losses to more than fifty billion dollars since twenty 281 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 10: twenty three. 282 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 2: All right, so it's not like this is a new problem. 283 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: This was this is going on under Biden as well. 284 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 2: But I mean, we're short twenty billion dollars. Why do 285 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 2: we send twenty billion dollars to Argentina. 286 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 11: From what it costs us to grow a crop is 287 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 11: not getting any cheaper. 288 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 10: It's getting more expensive every day, but what we're selling 289 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 10: is getting cheaper every day. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rowlin says 290 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 10: farmers could get money in their pockets as soon as February. 291 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 10: Eleven billion dollars will go out to farmers immediately, and 292 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 10: another one billion dollars we put aside for specialty crop farmers. 293 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 10: While some of the money will come from tariffs, Roland 294 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 10: says that that's not the reason for the aid. 295 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 11: There is almost zero evidence, if any evidence, that what 296 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 11: they are doing and the challenges that our farm economy 297 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 11: is facing in road crops, has anything to do with 298 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 11: these trade renegotiations. 299 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 3: Then what h okay? All right, I guess I'll take 300 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 3: your word for it. 301 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 2: Just feels funny to me that the price of the 302 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 2: crops and the seeds and the fertilizers that all come 303 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: from overseas now have tariffs, those prices have all gone up. 304 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 2: We don't have the markets to sell to overseas. Because 305 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: of the trade war that's going on. It feels like 306 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: a really strong correlation going on there. I mean kind 307 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: of feels like causation. So I don't know if I'm 308 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: if I'm buying it. But then we're using the money 309 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 2: from the tariffs to reimburse the farmers for the money 310 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: that they lost because of the tariffs. 311 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 3: It feels kind of like a circular firing squad, doesn't it. 312 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 2: All Right, you keep hearing about all those miracle weight 313 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: loss shots, right, but now the world's top health agency says, 314 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 2: we gotta get to we gotta get the the ozempics 315 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 2: out to everybody because most people still can't afford it. 316 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 3: It's the drug that changes. 317 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 2: How you eat and how you live, and it's starting 318 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 2: to reshape entire economies and your waistline. Now why you 319 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: may never get your hands on it is next. I'm 320 00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: Chris Maryland. 321 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six on demand. 322 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 2: But we used to have this really nice old man 323 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 2: that will come in every Sunday afternoon.

But then 406 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 3: I got to that point. 407 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: Anybody's ever gone on a weight loss journey knows, you 408 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: get to a point where you feel like, Okay, I 409 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 2: am plateauing and I am not getting through this. 410 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 3: And and to get through this means. 411 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 2: Sacrificing more than I am really prepared to sacrifice that 412 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 2: I already been doing it. This diet, it's pretty intense 413 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,239 Speaker 2: to after like six or eight months, and it's like, 414 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 2: I can't just eat, you know, peas and water for 415 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 2: the next year until I lose another twenty or thirty pounds. 416 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 3: I just can't do it. 417 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 2: So that's when I first reached out and I thought, 418 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 2: you know what, let's see what these weight loss drugs 419 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 2: are doing. I was making okay money, my wife's making 420 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: okay money. We go, okay, that's money that we can spend, 421 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 2: Let's do it. And so so I started with the 422 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 2: ozempic and I was doing the oce empic for a 423 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 2: while and I didn't lose any weight, but I didn't 424 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: gain any weight. But I was telling my provider, I said, 425 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 2: you know, I'm a little frustrated. I feel like I'm 426 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 2: at the MAXI dos I'm not really losing any weight. 427 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 2: I'm very happy that I'm not putting any on. I'm 428 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: happy that I'm maintaining, but it's kind of expensive for 429 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 2: me to be maintaining. And you also fall into this 430 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 2: trap where when the when you're on the drug and 431 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: and you feel like the drug is not working, it 432 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 2: is you go, oh, I still have these cravings. 433 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 3: And I was still getting the cravy. 434 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 2: You know, I'd still have cravings at the end of 435 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: the night, but but I was still maintaining, and so 436 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: the drug was working. And I know this because just 437 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: recently I ran out of Switch providers, and so I've 438 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 2: got this a couple of week lull and all of 439 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 2: a sudden, it's like, oh boy, I just want to 440 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 2: I just want to eat, like like crazy. All of 441 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 2: a sudden, I feel those urges that I had when 442 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 2: I when I put on weight in the first place, 443 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 2: and so I went to the tears epetide, which is 444 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 2: a GLP one that's basically works on two different receptors, 445 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 2: and that's been that's been good. But like I said, 446 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 2: I got expensive, so I switch providers, find a provider 447 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 2: that was a little bit cheaper, and I'm resuming that regiment. 448 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: The thing is, we could start seeing access to those 449 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 2: drugs get limited even further because they're so effective in 450 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 2: a multitude of applications that other countries are looking at 451 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: it and saying why can't we get our hands on that. 452 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 3: The WHO wants. 453 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 12: To step in asideally the World Held Organization is saying, 454 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 12: first of all, GLP one drugs are not a magic 455 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 12: bullet to take by themselves. And also this cannot just 456 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 12: be a rich country or rich people drug. 457 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: Everyone needs access. 458 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 3: We have to have some fair use. 459 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 2: Okay, I get what you're saying, and I know the 460 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 2: WHO wants to be very egalitarian about this, But. 461 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 3: Also we're the richest country. 462 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,239 Speaker 2: We're also the fattest country, and I think there's some 463 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 2: causation there too, So doesn't it make sense that we 464 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 2: would have access to this drug easier access to the 465 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 2: GLP ones than say, Aerotrea. Look, if your country has 466 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: won the Boston Marathon of the last twenty years, you're 467 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: kind of in last in line. For those of us 468 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: that have won things like curling in the last twenty years, 469 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 2: we're first in line. 470 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 11: We must work together on strategies like pool procurement and 471 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 11: tier pricing to make these medicines affordative and for all. 472 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 12: In addition to recognizing the effectiveness of GLP one drugs, 473 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 12: the World Health Organization is really stating that obesity is 474 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 12: a growing, complex medical condition and requires comprehensive management that's 475 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 12: also fair and accessible to all. 476 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 3: Right, I know it needs to be fair and accessible 477 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 3: to me.

GLP one drugs can really 486 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 12: only cover about ten percent of the global obese population. 487 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, as long as it's me, I'm fine. 488 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 12: That's not nearly enough.

It was Charlie Brown actor. That is 555 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 2: a real tragedy. 556 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 3: I like that. Oh that's uplifting. Thanks a lot. 557 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 2: I was just telling about the GLP ones and how 558 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: the World Health Organization wants to make sure that we 559 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: have access that can go everywhere. I mean, these drugs 560 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 2: really are incredible. Most people respond to them. They are 561 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: effective at, you know, helping you lose weight. Obviously, they 562 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: are type two diabetes tailored drugs, that's what they were 563 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 2: made for in the first place. But the weight loss 564 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 2: has so many other you know benefits, staving off heart disease, 565 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 2: lowering blood pressure, all the other benefits of losing weight, 566 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 2: which is why if you're heavy and you go to 567 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 2: the doctor, the doctor always says. 568 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 3: You want to lose weight. I get it. You go 569 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 3: to lose weight, Okay, I get it. Doc. 570 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 2: I used to have this really fat doctor when I 571 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 2: was little in Eastgo. He used to walking, he waddling. 572 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 2: You got to lose weight. 573 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 3: You can't be serious. You can't be serious. 574 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 2: You can't be But actually, these GLP one drugs are 575 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 2: actually having an effect on the economy, not just because 576 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 2: people are buying a lot of GLP one drugs, but 577 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 2: as a result, they're not buying well girl Scout cookies 578 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 2: or other things. 579 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 3: I'd say right now, this is from a podcast called 580 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 3: The Dark Side of Dining. 581 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 13: There is one disrupting force that is slowly emerging. This 582 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 13: is the doctor, by the way, that is likely going 583 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 13: to change how we sell food to people. And that's 584 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 13: the whole issue of GLP one drugs, weight loss drugs 585 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 13: like ozembic. It's it's really the quiet destructor. 586 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 3: I think. 587 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 13: This week we learn from McDonald's that they're acknowledging that 588 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 13: ozembic is. 589 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 3: A problem for them. 590 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 13: Wow, because they know that in a few years from now, 591 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 13: you'll have they'll have millions fewer people going to McDonald's 592 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 13: because they don't necessarily. 593 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 3: They don't. They don't long for McDonald's. They don't. 594 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 13: They don't look for fast food at all. Yeah, they don't. 595 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 13: They don't want to snack. It makes them ill. It's 596 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 13: so there's there's likely to be almost thirty million Americans 597 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 13: using a JLP one drug to lose weight by twenty thirty. 598 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 2: And then McDonald suffers from it. Wow, millions and millions 599 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 2: not served. Think about Ronald Think about Ronald Ah. So 600 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 2: we didn't used to be this that as a country. 601 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 2: With the addition of seed oils and high fructose corn 602 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 2: syrup and everything that we eat. That's part of what's 603 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 2: caused us to blimp out. It's worth your time to 604 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 2: google the foods that we eat here that are banned 605 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 2: in Europe. On what I take it back, look, I 606 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 2: think I think you're right about her to chime in there. 607 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, she couldn't. She couldn't hold back up. 608 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 2: I kind of help with you, totally with you on 609 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 2: I got to do more research into the seed oils 610 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 2: because I still like my my olive oil, but. 611 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 3: Every time I get out that's not seed oil, my skun. 612 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: Oh it's not good because my son always scoffs and 613 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 2: he's like, oh, I know what it is.

I think just the high 621 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 2: processed food and everything else are contributing to it as well. 622 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 2: And then you've got McDonald's too, I mean, let's add 623 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 2: as many things into our foods as we can to 624 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 2: try to get people to come back. In other words, 625 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 2: you've got companies that intentionally make you addicted to their 626 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 2: their junk food. 627 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm with you, all right.

We'll see 632 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 2: how We'll see how it stands up to the coolest 633 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 2: scar we have on staff.
