1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: There's an old adage that if you want to find

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: a person's real motives, follow the money. When someone tells

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: you it's not about the money, rest assured it's about

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: the money. They say it's not about the money because

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: they know you know it's about the money, and they

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: have to address the fact that you're thinking, well, all

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: you care about is the money. So they say, it's

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: not about the money, It's about the principle. But is it,

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: because it never is. I tell you what, then, I

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: won't pay you the money, but I will do what

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: you want me to do, and we'll see if this

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: is about the principle or the money. Well, other money,

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: A little bit. Money matters a little bit. Joe Biden

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: and the Democrats decimate our oil industry in favor of

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: electric vehicles when solar, that's a foolish road to take.

16
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: And if you ask yourself if they're stupid or purposely

17
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: trying to destroy America, a question that we spent eight

18
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: years of the Obama administration trying to figure out. Is

19
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: Obama just a complete, blithering idiot or is this all

20
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: part of an evil plan? And the reaction seemed to

21
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: be split, but the answer for the Biden administration seems

22
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: a little simpler than that. You just follow the money.

23
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: John Stossel, who is technically a libertarian, but he was

24
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: on Fox for many years and now he's off on

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: his own and he's doing some of the best work

26
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: in journalism out there. It's magazine style instead of a

27
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: daily report, but he tends to go a little deeper,

28
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: and we play some of his stuff here on the

29
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: show because us we think it's very well done. He's

30
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: got a piece on corporate freeloaders where he explains how

31
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: the system works. And I wouldn't call the corporation's freeloaders

32
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: as much as i'd call them investors. Instead of investing

33
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: in research and development in order to win your heart

34
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: your decision making in the marketplace, they invest in politicians.

35
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: That's where the money comes from. That drives policy, because

36
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to solar wind electric you don't make

37
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: those decisions in a free marketplace. You make those decisions

38
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: because you're compelled. You make those decisions out of guilt.

39
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: You make those decisions because the government gives you a

40
00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: subsidy an incentive to do it. So follow the money.

41
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: In America today, the bigger recipient of handouts is not

42
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: poor people, it's corporations.

43
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Imagination at work.

44
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: GE is the biggest industrial corporation in the world. Here's

45
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: their CEO with President Obama.

46
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: Jeff Immelt is perhaps the CEO who's most cozy with

47
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: President Obama.

48
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: And Jeff Immolt was recently named the country's jobs are

49
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: I am so proud and pleased that Jeff has agreed

50
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: to share this package.

51
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: General Electric is structuring their business around where government is going,

52
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: so everything from high speed rail, solar wind, General Electric

53
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: is lining up to get what government's handing out.

54
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: The New York Times reports that government handed out so

55
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: many tax breaks to GE thanks to their fierce lobbying,

56
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: that despite billions of dollars in profit, they'll pay no

57
00:03:54,440 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: taxes this year. What's upon a time in America, companies

58
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: got money from investors and created wealth by inventing things.

59
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: Twenty five years ago.

60
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: My friends and I started with nothing but an idea.

61
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: Microsoft did that. They started with nothing and created billions

62
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: in shareholder wealth.

63
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 3: But then Microsoft is free to compete, and compete aggressively

64
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: but not unlawfully.

65
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: The government sued Microsoft for offering people free software at

66
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: the time.

67
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 5: Microsoft spent exactly zero dollars on lobbying. They were busy

68
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 5: changing the world. They were busy creating computer revolution and

69
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 5: helping the Internet revolution. And for that they got drawn

70
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 5: into court. They spent millions and hundreds of millions defending

71
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 5: themselves against the Justice Department. So how much money they

72
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 5: spent today on lobbyists? Hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

73
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: They learned their ugly lessons.

74
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 5: We created a system in which if you don't do it,

75
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 5: you had a competitive disadvantage.

76
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: A public private partnership, a public private partnership.

77
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: Public private partnership. Businesses love to have a partner in government.

78
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: This little window maker must have loved the attention it

79
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: got by having the Vice president praise its products.

80
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: You're not just churning out windows, You're making some of

81
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: the most energy efficient windows of the world.

82
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: Think getting the vice president was a big deal. Heck,

83
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: they got the president too.

84
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 6: And these workers will now have a new mission producing

85
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 6: some of the most energy efficient windows in the world.

86
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: Other companies don't get so much government help, but this

87
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: company gave money to the Democrats, and one of their

88
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: executives was married to an important Energy Department official. It

89
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: sure is nice to get special government help.

90
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 6: Thank you, mister Vice President, for your unwavering support.

91
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: Left wing think tanks criticize corporate welfare, but somehow green

92
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: handouts they're okay.

93
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 7: Everybody wants to find a better fuel efficient way to

94
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 7: go about their daily business. The government's to invest in

95
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 7: certain companies to pioneer new technologies that I think is

96
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 7: not corporate welfare.

97
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: The business is too dumb to invest in it without

98
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: government saying do this. And here's hell.

99
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 7: The private sector will only invest if they know for

100
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 7: sure that there is a commercial marketplace.

101
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: But you say everybody wants these things, isn't that enough

102
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: incentive for private, greedy businesses to make it.

103
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 7: The free market does not know anything unless we all

104
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 7: collect our interests and say this is of national import

105
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 7: to us.

106
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 5: Central planning does not work. It doesn't work in any industry,

107
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 5: It doesn't work in any in any kind of economy.

108
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: But since they're going to centrally plan, they'll give out

109
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: special favors to their politically savvy people who are best

110
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: at lobbying for them.

111
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: Of at least two hundred million dollars is needed.

112
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: And so the government pours billions of your dollars into

113
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: projects like the Roscoe wind farm in Texas. It's half

114
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: owned by GE.

115
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 3: Even if this wind farm produces nothing of value, they

116
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: are getting money from the US taxpacker.

117
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 2: Maybe we don't need win turbine. Maybe it's a waste

118
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: of money.

119
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 7: Well, maybe it is, but it should be one thing

120
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 7: that we as a nation are investing in so that

121
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 7: we aren't left behind some.

122
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 4: Of the cleanest renewable energy for on Earth.

123
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: GE would not agree to be interviewed. Maybe that's a

124
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: good thing if it means companies are now getting embarrassed

125
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: about the handouts. Thirteen years ago, when I wanted to

126
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: confront a business about it's free loading, the ceo is

127
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: so brazen he flew me to his headquarters in one

128
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: of his fancy jets, cold gold plated ath else. At

129
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: the time, this man was the biggest recipient of handouts.

130
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: Duayne Andreas, CEO of ethanol maker ADM. You're a pig

131
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: feeding at the welfare trough.

132
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 6: Why should I care?

133
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: Doesn't bother you out a bit.

134
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: Many beneficiaries of corporate welfare really believe that they're being

135
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: paid to help the country. What I'm providing is so

136
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: good that it ought to be subsidized.

137
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, a lot of American companies have become muchas off

138
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 5: the government have been. They go to the guvernment to

139
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 5: manipulate the system in their favor. That's what's not business

140
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 5: is about. That's not what capitalism is about.

141
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: But today, unfortunately, it is a way for capitalists to freedom.

142
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: America is a nation that can be defined in a

143
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: single word. I was gonna foot him to put number nine.

144
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: Not only was it authentic frontier jibbery, it expressed their.

145

Speaker 1: Friends, either you get choked up because you care so

161
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: passionately about veterans and the experience you gave them. I

162
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: got a note you take all the time you want

163
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: them turning off on Michael phone.

164
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 6: So we became real good friends. Funny story is about it.

165
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 6: We were out on had three of them with me.

166
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 6: They wanted to go try to get some coyote's, so

167
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 6: I set up a coyote call, and I knew probably

168
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 6: weren't gonna see anything because we weren't hearing them, and

169
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 6: we've been snaring them pretty good. So we put a

170
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 6: good debt in the population. So I set up a

171
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 6: kyote call, get them all in different areas where we

172
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 6: have different lengths to shoot out of. And I laid

173
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 6: down next to Jonathan and uh, We're sitting there, sitting there,

174
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 6: and he's hunted a lot in his life. And he

175
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 6: looked at him and he goes, they ain't coming, are they? No?

176
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 6: I don't think they are. He goes, man, can we

177
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 6: go look for some sheds? I said, yeah, absolutely, man,

178
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 6: we'll go look for some sheds, talking about antler shed

179
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 6: that fall off every year.

180
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Hunting. Okay, all right, go ahead, no.

181
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 6: No sheds. It's actually sheds off, they said, their antlers

182
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 6: every year and you can walk around and pick them up.

183
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 6: Pretty cool deal. And so we're walking around and you know,

184
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 6: just two guys in the woods and I said, man,

185
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 6: so I don't. I said, I'm a very blunt PERSONA Man,

186
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 6: I don't. I don't know how to say it. But

187
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 6: you seem pretty normal, man, So what's what's up with you?

188
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 6: And uh he uh, He's like, man, I've got a

189
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 6: tv I and PTSD. So he was actually uh his

190
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 6: taint got hit by an ID and he was actually

191
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 6: m I A for twenty one days. And uh that

192
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 6: started our relationship right there, and uh, every year since then,

193
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 6: it's been coming up on three years now. We meet

194
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 6: up at least once a year. He actually we just

195
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 6: did a veteran hunt two weekends ago and then he

196
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 6: came in to Pew David Worthing skiving flew in and

197
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 6: we went back to the ranch, did some hunting, and

198
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 6: uh we were sitting, uh, we were sitting upside and

199
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 6: I could tell he was getting Uh. We were talking

200
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 6: and you know, talks to get deep over some some

201
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 6: beers and some whiskey drinks. And uh, one of my

202
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 6: wife's friends was there and she went in decided. And

203
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 6: my wife she's like, I think we're getting sreed. She's like,

204
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 6: leave them alone, let them do the things they got

205
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 6: to get this, you know, get it off their chest.

206
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 6: And she's been around to them, um, so she's just like,

207
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 6: let them be. And Uh, he's taught us about somebody

208
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 6: that he served with that he he helped train, I guess,

209
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 6: and uh, he's wore this bracelet on his wrist, you know,

210
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 6: it says, Uh, I'm gonna read it real quick. I

211
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 6: guess it's some purple David Jay Vines. Sam says in

212
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 6: US Marine Corps Iraqi Freedom eleven six K I A H.

213
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 6: And he's always had this bracelet on him. And when

214
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 6: he goes out on trips or hunts or whatever, he

215
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 6: takes the pictures with that thing. And and said to

216
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 6: that guy's dad, who is now a very good friend

217
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 6: slash father to him and sends pictures to him and

218
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 6: his memory and his honor. And he looked at us,

219
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 6: me and my buddy Jason, that we've all become really

220
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 6: good friends and said, hey, I want to do something

221
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 6: with y'all. He took that bracelet off and put it

222
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 6: down next to us. He said, I'm gonna be back

223
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 6: in the year. I want you to wear it for

224
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 6: six months, and you to wear it for six months

225
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 6: and take pictures and send them to me so I

226
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 6: can send him to his dad. And he hasn't taken

227
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 6: this bracelet off in years. And to be entrusted with

228
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 6: something like that is it is really amazing. And you know,

229
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 6: it all started over relationships, over over a deer hunt.

230
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 6: And I've dealt with several of these guys now and

231
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 6: we look at it as age, just a deer man.

232
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 6: It's you know, if you have a scale where you

233
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 6: put one thing on one side and one on the other,

234
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 6: it goes up and down. We look at what they

235
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 6: did and that scale was weighted down heavy on their side,

236
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 6: and we look at it going. Man, we just all

237
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 6: were to being able to do this, give you a

238
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 6: hunt and gives you a deer and just listen to

239
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 6: y'all and talk with y'all, and it's just no comparison.

240
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 6: The one thing I've learned is it's the exact opposite

241
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 6: to them. It's not just a deer to them. Hearing

242
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 6: some of these stories, one of the guys told us

243
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 6: that one of his friends, you know, was blown up

244
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 6: missing an armor leg type deal, and always turned out

245
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 6: in these hunts and finally went on one because he

246
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 6: was debating suicide and shot a deer and was able

247
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 6: to put food on the table. And he told us

248
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 6: that literally this saved that man's life one of these

249
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 6: hunts that he realized he's still a man. He can

250
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 6: still put food on his table to support his family

251
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 6: and man if y'all have opportunities that you own a

252
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 6: ranch or you're part of something, whether it's hunting, fishing.

253
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 6: I know they do fishing trips, to do all kinds

254
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 6: of stuff. Reach out to these different organizations. The one

255
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 6: that we deal with is Combat Ring out Doors, which

256
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 6: was started by two Marines, but they do every branch

257
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 6: of the military and they bring these guys out. Man,

258
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 6: it's truly life changing for them and you get to

259
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 6: see them decompressed. And the two weekends ago, the one

260
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 6: night I took he had TBI and PTSD. He was

261
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 6: hit by three IED's and he just looked at me

262
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 6: while we're in the stand and he said, man, thank

263
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 6: you so much. I was able to unplug for three

264
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 6: days and I really felt peace for the first time

265
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 6: in a while. So it's just it's it's an amazing

266
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 6: experience for everybody.

267
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 4: J C.

268
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: First of all, thank you for doing that. And I

269
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: suspect you would agree with my assessment that you took

270
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: more away from that time you spent with that better

271
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: and than he did. And that's not to diminish what

272
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: it meant to him. It's that very few things in

273
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: life will give you the fulfillment that that did.

274
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, And it's and I've been blessed with a good family,

275
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 6: wife and kids that you know, they let me take

276
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 6: time away from our schedule to go do this for them,

277
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 6: and it's it's it's even though my family's not always there,

278
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 6: my family's there and we're all saying thank you to them,

279
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 6: and Jenny any better than who the service, thank you.

280
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: You know.

281
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: Yes, one of the things I'll tell you that I've

282
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: been doing radio for seventeen years and I've had other

283
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: careers and I've done things for people in some way

284
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: or another. And I often say this and it makes

285
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: people uncomfortable, but it is true. People don't want to

286
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: admit this, but that which we do for other people,

287
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: we do because we are selfish, extremely selfish. Now people

288
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: will say, I am so self less. I do things

289
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: for other people to help other people. If doing things

290
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: to help other people did not give us a sense

291
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: of fulfillment on a profound level, we wouldn't do it.

292
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: We wouldn't. And I will tell you that we landed

293
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: on combat veterans with PTSD and that has occupied a

294
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: great deal of my energy since then. It's been ten

295
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: years now, which you celebrated ten years Camp Hope. And

296
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: the beauty is especially for guys if you if you

297
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: are a hunting and fishing guy, you got to realize

298
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: the people who went and served in Afghanistan and Iraq.

299
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: You think about the demographic. A large number of those

300
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: guys are rednecks from small towns that love to hunt

301
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: and fish. And when you think about you've got something

302
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: that you don't even think of you it's deer huntings. Easy,

303
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: you go deer hunt, or you go out fishing, or

304
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, you do outdoors activities. Man, that's you could

305
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: take that guy to the ball game, sure that's fine,

306
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: but you take him fishing. Oh, man, and I will,

307
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: I will promise you this. I will, I will make

308
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: this guarantee to you if you do that for a

309
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: combat veterans suffering from PTSD. You get out there, you'll

310
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: feel so good about yourself as you're going, I'm gonna

311
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: take some veterans out because you want the credit, right,

312
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna text some veterans out. I'm gonna do this

313
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: we have and you'll get out there and the new

314
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: will wear off of that penny. The shine will wear off,

315
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: and a few hours into it, you will realize you

316
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 1: are going to gain more from this experience than that

317
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: guy is, because this is going to put it all

318
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: into perspective. Because you sleep like a baby through the night,

319
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: because you have full use of all your appendages, you

320
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: will find because you don't have horrible nightmares and desires

321
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: to kill yourself, and you don't have tattoos that remind

322
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: you of their buddy who they had to carry to

323
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: the helicopter to be hauled away so that he could

324
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: be brought home at least as a body to be buried.

325
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: Those are things you never forget. You will from that

326
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: experience be forever change.

327
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: You've got the Schoolberry's show.

328
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to call this segment, or ask

329
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: you to slug this segment as sleep, all things related

330
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: to sleep. And here it goes, ask yourself, are you

331
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: getting a minimum solid seven hours of sleep per night?

332
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: Because if you're not, it will affect every other aspect

333
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: of your life, every other aspect. For most of my

334
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: life I have gone, on frequent occasion on three or

335
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: four hours of sleep, and before I was fifty, I

336
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: could get away with that. And one of my great

337
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 1: life skills that everybody who knew me well would always

338
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: remark was that I could stay up later than you

339
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: can imagine, drink more than you can imagine, smoke more

340
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: cigars than you can imagine, eat more fried chicken or

341
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: barbecue than you could imagine, and get up two hours

342
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: later and do the show without a single person knowing.

343
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: And so people will be at my house till four thirty,

344
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: Go catch a little cat nap hour, wake up, get

345
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: into the studio, do the show. And about eleven thirty,

346
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: after we'd gone off air and we're working on production

347
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: elements and writing bits and all that, people would email

348
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: me from the night before and Ninka, hey did you

349
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: do the show? Because I just woke up. Yeah, I

350
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: did to tell that's what I do, but that will

351
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: wreck your body, wreck it. And I know you're not

352
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: doing that, but let me just let me just out

353
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: of love for you, our listeners give you a little

354
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: bit of advice that you didn't ask for, but I

355
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: hope you'll take it in the right vein. If you'll

356
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: get more sleep, it will solve a lot of your problems,

357
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: including but not limited to weight. So I try to

358
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: get eight hours sleep right now. I'm in the middle

359
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: of a really good book. So last night I read

360
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: in bed, which I like to do because you fall

361
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: asleep real nice. But finally my wife was like, all right,

362
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: let's go to sleep, and so I did. But I

363
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: didn't get my full I didn't get my full night

364
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: of sleep like I like to do. But that's a

365
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: rare event. Even that was just a little bit short.

366
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: You will find it much easier to fast or do

367
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: whatever you're dieting on if you have more sleep. If

368
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: you are short of sleep, you will find that comfort

369
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: food is your friend. It's very, very hard to cut

370
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: back your caloric intake on short sleep. You're cranky and

371
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: your resistance is down. If you're not getting a full

372
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: night of sleep every single night, you're not going to

373
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: lose weight. That's a fact. Doctors will tell you that

374
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: focus on this sort of stuff. Fat people famously don't

375
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: get sleep. They don't they stay up all night, they

376
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: turn the TV on, they flip channels all night, they

377
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: stay up all night. And whether you eat in bed

378
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: late at night, which is also another horrible habit. But

379
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: if you do that, you're also extending the night and

380
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: not getting enough sleep. You can't possibly do what you

381
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: need to do the next day. And this is coming

382
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: from a person who has struggled my entire life to

383
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: go to sleep because I don't want the data end.

384
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: But now I call my parents every night by eight

385
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: o'clock and my Mama, you sound like you're going to

386
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: bed at when we hang up, I'm going I'm gonna

387
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: spend a little time with the kids, catch up on

388
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: the day, and I'm going to bed with the goal

389
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: of being asleep as early as possible, which I never done.

390
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: I have never ever done. My dad always wanted me to.

391
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: You got to get more sleep, and that means a

392
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: couple of things. That means you've got to shut down

393
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: all the digital things you can read about it. I'm

394
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: not gonna waste a bunch of your time. But if

395
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: you're on that damn phone, nothing you're doing is useful.

396
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: You're just killing time. It becomes I hate to overuse

397
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: the word addiction, but it becomes sort of an addiction,

398
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: becomes a habit. You get habituated to it, and it's

399
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: emanating from that blue screen a message to your brain

400
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: that says, don't shut down, you don't send the serotonins,

401
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: you don't start to slow down, put that thing away,

402
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: and don't leave it next Unless you are an overnight

403
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: tow truck driver or a fireman, a volunteer fireman, you

404
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: do not need to be reached in the middle of

405
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: the night. Ninety five percent of people who have their

406
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: phone next to their bed. That's the worst thing you

407
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: can do, because then you get some idiot like me

408
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: that's drunk at two o'clock in the morning calling you

409
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: and you're picking up because there's a group going high way.

410
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm done, well, I'm sleeping, Michael is two o'clock. We're

411
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: all here and we're talking about y who we're what

412
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: are you? Ain'ty there?

413
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 6: Yeah?

414
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,120
Speaker 1: Yes, she's asleep, Okay, Okay, we're here, we're you were

415
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. You don't need that call. That

416
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: call will appear as a lost call. The other thing

417
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: is people call you at two o'clock in the morning

418
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: to bail them out from a DWI or get them

419
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: out of trouble. Or you don't need to be that either.

420
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: You don't need to help them out of their bad decisions.

421
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: Let them dry out in the tank, and late the

422
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: next morning they'll they get another call. They give them

423
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: a few calls so they get an Oh, they might

424
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: call somebody it's closer to them than you are, and

425
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: then you didn't have to go pick them up in

426
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: the first place and waste all that time. Uh, turn,

427
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: put your phone in another room and turn off the ringer.

428
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: You don't need the ringer. Geez, turn the damn ringer

429
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: off all the time. Put it in another room where

430
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: it can't bother you. If at all possible, do these things.

431
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: Make your room as dark as possible. No lights, none,

432
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: no lights in your room, period, end of story. Make

433
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: it cold. Every study you'll read will tell you the

434
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: human body is meant to sleep better when it's cold.

435
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: There's a number of reason put a blanket, under weighted blankets.

436
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: There's all sorts of studies that say waited blankets worth.

437
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: I don't like a weighted blanket, but my wife does,

438
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of other people do. Get to bed

439
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: on time with the intention of going to sleep, free

440
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: your mind, maybe read a little bit, but set a

441
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: time that you're going to go to sleep, and lay there,

442
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: and even if you just lay there and can't fall asleep,

443
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: make it completely quiet or do your white noise. Some

444
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: people do that, and sit there and let your body

445
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: de escalate from the stress of the day. You don't

446
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: need to worry about Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi at

447
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: exactly that moment. You need to replenish. Drink water, Drink

448
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: more water, and when you're done, drink more water. After that,

449
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: get every ounce of sleep you can possibly get if

450
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: you don't have a comfortable mattress. Go see Mac. Mac

451
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: lives off the fact that people want to get better sleep,

452
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: and for good reason, because good sleep is critical your

453
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: good health. That's all I got on sleeping the moment, Oh, magnesium.

454
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: Magnesium allows me to sleep better than anything else.

455
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: Side.

456
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: If you compliment your friend or your friend's wife as

457
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: to them looking great. They've lost weight. What are you doing?

458
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: Are you working out? Are you intermittent fasting? You look fantastic.

459
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: Somebody who's been carrying an extra twenty or sixty pounds

460
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: for a very long time, all of a sudden has

461
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: a little spring in their step. And it's not just women.

462
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: Men carry themselves differently. When they've dropped down three, four

463
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: five sizes in their jeans, they start tucking their shirt in.

464
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, instead of tennis shoes with their genes,

465
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: they're wearing loafers, they're wearing dress shoes. They're all of

466
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: a sudden getting their hairstyled. It's a change in your

467
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: entire presentation. You can see the swagger in people. They've

468
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: been married for twenty five years and now all of

469
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: a sudden, they're acting like they used to when they

470
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: wooed their lover. Well, ozimpic is often the answer. And

471
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: I can't pronounce the word. I'll get the pronunciation. It's semiglitudes.

472
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how you pronounce it. But our expert.

473
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: We went searching for an expert, and some of you

474
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: will know we have talked about this subject before. We

475
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: have had other doctors on to talk about this, but

476
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: it is such a common phenomenon, cultural trend and a

477
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: medical issue, and you know, I'm fascinated by those that

478
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: we are having an expert on the matter with us today.

479
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: Her name is doctor Archin Nosadu. She is a Board

480
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: certified endocrinologist specializing in diabetes and she is the director

481
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: of the System Diabetes Program at Houston Methodist. She is

482
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: specifically with us to talk about that diabetes drug. It's

483
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: actually being used as a diet drug causing some problems

484
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: for diabetics who really need the drug. Doctor Sadou, First

485
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: of all, why are we hearing ozimpic all the time?

486
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: What is so special about this drug?

487
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 4: Well, thank you for having me here today, Michael. And yes,

488
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 4: it's all over the headlines and it seems to be

489
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 4: something new each time, but it actually it's been in

490
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 4: our toolbox for many years for type two diabetes, which

491
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 4: is what it was originally studied and approved for, because

492
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 4: it really lowered patient's blood sugars dramatically. But in those

493
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 4: studies it was also noted that they had a significant

494
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 4: weight loss. So then subsequently that drug semaglutide was studied

495
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 4: for just weight loss, so people without the diagnosis of

496
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 4: diabetes and again proved itself to be a great drug

497
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 4: to help people lose weight, and then it got FDA

498
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 4: approval for that indication. The drug is the same which

499
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 4: is semaglue hide, but for diabetes it's the brand name

500
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 4: is ozempic, and then for weightless alone it's called Wagovy.

501
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 4: So I think we're everyone's just kind of used to

502
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 4: the first name ozempic, but that's why we hear the

503
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 4: term ozempic all the time. But it could be either

504
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 4: ozempic or with goovy, which is the same drug.

505
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the differences between that and

506
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: why it's marketed separately because that's important for pharmaceutical REGs.

507
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: But first explain to me, like I'm in about seventh grade,

508
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: what exactly does ozempic or WEGOV do.

509
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 4: So. Ozempic or the drug semaglue hide is a replica

510
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 4: of a hormone and we have naturally in our gut system,

511
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 4: which is called GLP one, And this hormone is secreted

512
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 4: as soon as we eat something, and it has several duties. Naturally,

513
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 4: one it delays the emptying of the stomach, so food

514
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 4: comes in lower, slower and gets absorbed more efficiently with

515
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 4: balancing the glucose that's being absorbed so that our blood

516
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 4: sugars don't get too high. And two, it also raises

517
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 4: the pincreas's ability to secrete insulin, again balancing blood sugars,

518
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 4: which is where its first effect was most exciting. But

519
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 4: third effect, which was unexpected, was that it actually also

520
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 4: works on the appetite center in the brain to decrease appetite.

521
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 4: And this all makes sense, right, So whenever we eat,

522
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 4: we want to feel full, we want to balance the

523
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 4: nutrients we're absorbing, and then we want to stop eating,

524
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 4: so we just don't keep eating all the time. So

525
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 4: this drug is there for those purposes. And what we've

526
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: done is in this synthetic version semagluetide, and there's others

527
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 4: just like it as well. This is just one brand

528
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 4: we've We've given it in a subcutaneous injection form at

529
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 4: much much higher levels than what our gut normally secretes

530
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 4: to enhance these effects of decreased appetite and what you're lowering.

531
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 4: So that's that's how the drugs are working.

532
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: Let's take those one by one. But before we do that,

533
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 1: you said Ozimpic and Wigov are just one brand? Are

534
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: there other products out there? It sounds like you're loyal

535
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: to or partial to ozimpic. There's Manjara or something like that.

536
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: Are those all, as I understand it, they're all semi

537
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: glue tide semiglue tides. Are they all about the same?

538
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: Is there a reason you prefer ozimpic.

539
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 4: Well, it's not about preference. So a little bit about

540
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 4: the history. The first drug of the class was actually

541
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 4: a totally different drug called exenotide, but the brand name Baieta,

542
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 4: and that was the very first version of this whole class. Subsequently,

543
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 4: we got loraglatide or also called victosa or sexenda, and

544
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 4: then the most recent one a semiglutide or ozempic, and

545
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 4: regovi really got attention because these were weakly injectable, so

546
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 4: much easier to use, much more tolerable for patients, and

547
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 4: so they gained in popularity. Munjaro is a brand new player,

548
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 4: which is terzepetide. It's another compound entirely, and it is

549
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 4: one step above ozembic even because it combines two hormones

550
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 4: that are secreted in our gut, whereas previously it was

551
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 4: just the gop one that I mentioned to eppetiteer. Manjaro

552
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 4: also adds GIP and not to confuse you or the audience,

553
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 4: but we're actually building even more on these gut hormones

554
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 4: in upcoming drugs. So they're all very they're all different,

555
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 4: although do the same thing in our digestive tracks and

556
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 4: the brain to have the end outcome be eating less,

557
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 4: balancing your blood sugar and weight box.

558
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to hold you right there for

559
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: just a moment. We're talking to doctor Archinas Sadu spelled

560
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: sad Hu is the board certified into chronologists and hormones

561
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: and she specializes in debut He is the director of

562
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: the System Diabetes Program at Houston Methodist and we'll continue

563
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: our conversation with her coming up
