Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late night series "Real Time with Bill
Mom." All right, she's a good son of red, big an environmental activist. Aaron Bracobitz, the one on our own. She is the chief national correspondent of "Puck Peter Handley." You're just great on this show.
We're turning champion and professor at NYU Stern School of Business and podcast. I'll scout you all away. Okay. All right, first one is for you, Aaron, from the "Pageball." They want to know things.
What's the most important thing the average American can do
“to reduce the exposure to forever chemicals and microplastics?”
Great question. I think about this myself quite a bit. What you could do to reduce it? Yes, you're risk. Well, first of all, if it's in your water,
I always encourage people to know your own municipality and what's in your water, what's not in your water. Peep bosses everywhere is, you know, the biggest emerging contaminant in the US. So if you've got anything else. What?
I'm looking over here. Oh, these people are okay. Are you talking about that? I mean, if you talk about that, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this.
I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this.
I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this.
I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this.
I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this.
I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this.
I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I mean, we can do it like this. I understand.
I understand one of their effects is it makes you turn your head to the left. I understand one of their effects is it makes you turn your head to the left. It's just kind of what I do. I'm just kidding. Okay.
But how do I please do? I want to know. So. [ Laughter ] That's an honor.
Oh. If it's in your water. [ Laughter ]
“The best way for your municipal system is you should have a reverse osmosis system on your house.”
But first of all, you have to know if you've got PFAS, in your water per floor, or octinoc acids, so I encourage people to know your water quality report. You should be getting one every three months. If you're not, make a phone call. Where's my quality report?
So you actually know it's in your water.
So I should be -- I've never seen such a report.
I should be getting that from the state of California. You should be getting it from your local municipality a quarterly report of what's in your water. Okay. I mean, if California isn't doing it, trust me, nobody's doing it. [ Laughter ]
This is the place that does fit like that. It's going to be doing that. Mucher? It's supposed to be doing it. It's supposed to be doing it.
Okay. Well, that's what we need here more regulation. That's one of the first things you can do. But I'm not going to look to the left again. All right. Scott, you've argued that GOP1s could have a bigger impact on America than AI or space technology.
Why?
“If you look at our deficit, if you look at lower life expectancy at reverse engineers to obesity.”
70 percent of America is obese or overweight. He calls it was all about obesity. 92 percent of mortality in COVID had an obesity-related comorbidity.
And I never heard Fauci get up there and tell the people that.
That was one of my big gripes with how they handled it. They did not level with the American people. Instead of telling them, you know what? Stay home, keep drinking, eat more, order food. Don't get fresh air.
They were trying -- look, like they were trying to -- I know they weren't. But like, that would have been a good thing to tell people. The boring stuff moves the needle. One of the biggest thing thatails us is inflation. The dollars down 28 percent since 2000.
Because we take -- we spend $7 trillion on 5 trillion on receipts. We have fiscal insanity in this country. And any reasonable, honest, adult conversation around reducing our deficit all roads lead to the same place. And that is health care. If you were really serious about reducing health care, you would take --
you would put out an RFP for a billion doses of GLP-1 and distribute them for free to every low income household in America. If you really are serious about taking our health care costs from $13,000 per capita to $6,500, where they are in the rest of the G7, it's one way it's GLP-1. And in terms of it being a more transformative technology, talk to someone who uses AI every day and is also on a GLP-1.
And ask them what's had a bigger impact on their life. What does state Medicaid -- like Medicaid and Medicare cover
To do they already cover these jobs?
Because they cost $300,400 a pop from the farm companies. So, you know, if you're a medical or a state Medicaid service, like you would think that they would be giving these out a cheaper rates to people, because it does bring down hypertension and obesity.
“Do you think Trump -- I'd seem to remember”
having a big press coverage. >> You can buy direct from the manufacturer on trumprx.gov, but he -- you know, he claims he negotiated lower rates, but it's still not as low as insurance covering a stat. >> But he's specifically singled out this of all the medications. >> The mark is actually working here.
The price for an average monthly GLP-1 has been cut in half.
And if -- this is the first technology or health care thing in history,
where every time we wait for the next shooter drop and think it's going to be bad, we thought chemotherapy was going to say everyone. And then we thought too much chemotherapy you get leukemia. We tend to have -- we're finding out social media does not just connect us and does some other things.
Every time we find out something new about GLP-1, it's a positive. They're now saying that it reduces the likelihood of stage one cancer going to metastatic cancer is actually been reduced by 50%. Every time we keep waiting for another shooter drop, we find out, oh, it's actually a good thing.
>> Everyone at this table is going to be on a GLP-1 within 20. >> But if you're going to agree with us, that's not everyone at this table. >> Yeah. >> Absolutely. >> They also found out some other one should be. >> Well, it's nothing around long enough.
>> I don't think. >> What is it? >> It's FDA approved. I trust our agency. >> Oh, when did they ever lie?
>> When did they ever get one wrong? >> So it's a -- [ Applause ]
>> I sent my stuff up about that one.
“I think when you look at the studies around the upside versus the downside here,”
it's the most transformative technology. >> It is very trench. It also saps they have found. People's drive. I mean, you're drive to eat, but also like you're drive to work.
You're kind of like -- companies don't like it, because that kind of like, I have the tiger. That goes away in a lot of people when they take this. >> Well, the fear is it doesn't want to make you eat less. It just makes you want less.
>> That's the fear, right? >> I don't want to want less. >> That's right. >> I can control my eating without a drug. I mean, you know, where's the psychology?
>> I said 30% of America bill. >> What? >> I don't -- I think you're blessed with genetics that make it easy for you and you have the money to eat well. I think they're food definitely.
>> Okay, but I showed this picture before of people like in 1969.
I think you take any crowd shot. Like them looking at the rock going up for the moon landing. Look at the crowd. There's no fat people in the crowd. And trust me, cake was delicious in '19s.
[ Laughter ] In 1969, it was somehow they can show it. [ Applause ] For Pete, how much credit do you think Governor Josh Shapiro deserves for helping recruit LeBron James to the 76ers?
>> I reported this. >> Well, he's a Jew, so none. [ Laughter ] >> I live in America. I can read the writing.
>> This was a scoop. I had it puck a couple weeks ago during the fanatics fest in New York. Just like a big sports card trading festival LeBron was there. He went to a club called Zeezes. Have you been to Zeezes?
>> Yeah. >> It's like a private club in New York. Have you been there? >> Josh Shapiro? >> I saw Fauci there.
[ Laughter ] >> Josh Shapiro was there having dinner with the Clinton. It's Bill and Hillary Clinton. They see LeBron James across the room. Bill says come over here.
Josh Shapiro stands up and starts jaw-boning him about this when he's a free agent coming to Philly. Politico reported later that he really put the work in with Rich Paul, his agent, whatever. So, look, Josh Shapiro might run for president.
But if you look at the tweets after he got LeBron, he's up for reelection of the different governors. >> This is completely bullshit. [ Laughter ] >> He's like Philly or loving it.
>> Oh, they're loving it. But that's not why LeBron James did it. LeBron James did it because he wants to play with Joe Wellemby. >> That's right. >> Maxie and they got Jalen Brown.
That's why. >> I'm not telling you what happened. I was telling you that Josh Shapiro made it happen.
“I'm saying that's why he put he was lobbying.”
He wasn't the real reason. It's an easy ring. He's got two years left. He plugs in nicely. >> Okay.
>> So we really -- >> Are you mad about him leaving? >> No, no, no. [ Laughter ] >> I'm a Nick Fan.
>> Okay. >> Okay. >> And have been my whole life. >> Well, you're salty about the situation. >> So, yeah.
I know why LeBron James did it. Everybody knows why he did it. That's why he wants to play with the best players of the biggest chance of the ring. Wasn't because the governor.
>> Right. >> A politician wants me to do it. >> Yes. [ Laughter ] >> What do you make of the online trend?
This is for everybody of Nixon Maxing. Nixon Maxing. Well, I'm asking. I'm looking.
Where young conservatives are rebranding Richard Nixon
as a political icon.
Well, I -- all I could say is,
“if you wait along and up, everything comes back and start.”
Including a parently fucking Richard Nixon. I mean, God, give me a credit. >> What are you doing? >> It doesn't say Nixon Maxing. [ Laughter ]
It's just -- you know what it is?
It's that edge lord shit.
“It's just like, we always have to find something”
that will make the adults heads explode. And, you know, anybody who was around for Richard Nixon is going to be like, "Rich or Nixon, you kids."
>> I mean, do you sell conservatives?
>> Absolutely. >> But they find a Nixon found a good to be back people. >> Good to be back people. Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
