Hospital serves some of the county's poorest residents who live in the areas hardest hit by the virus, and they're also more likely to die from it. New York Times correspondent Sherry Think spent a week inside the overburdened hospital last month. She told Kcrw's press play at the patients at M Okay, were often turned away from transfers when they needed a higher level of care. Only 4% of MLK Hospital's patients have commercial insurance, and that's what Reimburses at a higher rate than public insurance, like especially medical Monoclonal antibody therapy is the kind of intervention that could help prevent them from getting really sick and help former President Trump when he was ill, But think, says patients at the hospital rarely got it.

This is all things considered. I'm Ari Shapiro and Mary Louise Kelly. It's Day two of former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial. And after arguing over the constitutionality of the trial itself yesterday, today, the impeachment managers began presenting their evidence. It's been an afternoon of tweets videos, arrest documents, all of which Democrats say prove that Trump incited the riot at the U. S Capitol. Here is how lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin set the day up. The evidence will show you That ex President Trump was no innocent bystander. Evidence will show that he clearly incited the January 6th insurrection. Will show that Donald Trump's surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the Insider in chief. Democrats combined the extraordinary events of last year and the first few days of this year into one narrative, describing a single minded effort by Trump to undermine American democracy. Starting with Trump's urging his supporters to reject a Biden win than falsely claiming the election was rigged, pressuring Republicans at the local, state and federal level to overturn results asking courts to toss out ballots. And finally, in the weeks leading up to January, 6th helping publicize the rally and encourage people to come out and fight. Now Democrats need 17 Republican votes to convict Trump And so today, they tailored their arguments to Republicans, many of whom have spent months defending Trump's attacks on the integrity of the presidential election. Eric Small, well of California tried to give them an out What our commander in chief did was wildly different from what anyone here in this room did to raise election concerns. This was a deliberate, premeditated incitement to his base to attack our capital while the county was going on later, Stacey Plaskett, a delegate from the U. S. Virgin Islands, ticked off a list of times, she said Trump supporters acted violently in his name. Building up to her conclusion that it is false to claim no one could have predicted Trump's rhetoric would lead to the attack on the capital. Donald Trump. Over many months cultivated violence, praised it. And then, when he saw the violence his supporters were capable of he channeled it. To his big, wild historic event. So that is how the trial has been playing out today for some analysis on what impact it's having, particularly on Republicans. Let's bring in Whit Ayers, longtime Republican pollster political consultant. He's advised GOP senators over the years. Would air welcome back Hello, Mary Louise. How are you? I am hanging in there. Thank you. So we've got a number of polls out these last few days pulls from major news organizations. What are they saying about Republican support or lack thereof for impeachment? Is there any movement? Well. Overall support for conviction among all voters today is somewhat higher than it was in the first impeachment trial a year ago because the circumstances are completely different. But Republican opposition to conviction has hardly budged. Republicans are overwhelmingly opposed. The latest polling shows no more than 9 to 10% of Republican voters. Supporting conviction for former President Trump. And fully 87 88% or opposed. So Republican voters are who Republican senators air listening to as much as if not more than the evidence presented in the trial. Now we'll note these polls were taken before the trial opened yesterday. Democrats even by the acknowledgment of Republicans have presented some pretty compelling arguments. There was that 13 minute tape yesterday, which was something How do you rate the chances that anything that comes out in this trial might sway of Republican voters or the Republican senators listening to them? Mary Louise, the House impeachment managers are making a very compelling case. But we need to remember that impeachment is a political process, not a judicial proceeding, as evidenced by the fact that the presiding officer in the Senate trial, Senator Leahy, Is also a witness, and he gets to vote on the outcome..

And on a Wednesday, February the 10th. This is KCRW and Larry Perella. Very good afternoon to you. Here's what's happening at three or four. California Department of Public Health is investigating allegations from whistleblowers about the state's new billion dollar covert 19 testing. Laboratory. Informants claim the lab in Santa Clarita is rife with mismanagement and incompetence. KCRW's Tara Atran has more Workers sleeping on the job test swabs found in bathrooms, inaccurate results sent to patients and unlicensed technicians. Those air some of the allegations being investigated at the Santa Clarita facility run by the biotech giant PerkinElmer. The inquiry follows a scathing expose by CBS 13 in Sacramento that interviewed former and current employees who say boss results weren't uncommon. PerkinElmer received a $1.7 billion contract to process up to 150,000 covert tests daily by March, But records indicate the facility is currently processing an average of fewer than 20,000 of them while still being paid a rate covering 100,000 tests per day. The state says it's looking into the allegations but has yet to offer a timeline for the investigation. The state said the inconclusive results were due to the type of test being used among the House managers making the case for convicting former president Trump or two Californians representatives Eric Swalwell of the Bay Area and Ted Lieu, who represents parts of West L. A. Who spent his time today laying out how Trump became increasingly desperate. After the election. I'll show you how we got here. President Donald J. Trump ran out of nonviolent options to maintain power. Lou, who was once an Air force prosecutor named the officials. Trump pressured publicly and privately. He also shared his own personal story as the child of immigrants who moved to the US to start a small business and participate in American democracy. He praised former vice president Pence but said Trump resorted to a last minute attempt to hold on to power. What you saw. Was a band so desperate to cling to power that he tried everything he could to keep it. When you ran out of non violent measures, he turned to the violent mob. That attacked your Senate chamber on January. 6 will have much more about the impeachment proceedings later on today.

This is all things considered. I'm Ari Shapiro and Mary Louise Kelly. It's Day two of former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial. And after arguing over the constitutionality of the trial itself yesterday, today, the impeachment managers began presenting their evidence. It's been an afternoon of tweets videos, arrest documents, all of which Democrats say prove that Trump incited the riot at the U. S Capitol. Here is how lead impeachment manager Jamie Raskin set the day up. The evidence will show you That ex President Trump was no innocent bystander. Evidence will show that he clearly incited the January 6th insurrection. Will show that Donald Trump's surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the Insider in chief. Democrats combined the extraordinary events of last year and the first few days of this year into one narrative, describing a single minded effort by Trump to undermine American democracy. Starting with Trump's urging his supporters to reject a Biden win than falsely claiming the election was rigged, pressuring Republicans at the local, state and federal level to overturn results asking courts to toss out ballots. And finally, in the weeks leading up to January, 6th helping publicize the rally and encourage people to come out and fight. Now Democrats need 17 Republican votes to convict Trump And so today, they tailored their arguments to Republicans, many of whom have spent months defending Trump's attacks on the integrity of the presidential election. Eric Small, well of California tried to give them an out What our commander in chief did was wildly different from what anyone here in this room did to raise election concerns. This was a deliberate, premeditated incitement to his base to attack our capital while the county was going on later, Stacey Plaskett, a delegate from the U. S. Virgin Islands, ticked off a list of times, she said Trump supporters acted violently in his name. Building up to her conclusion that it is false to claim no one could have predicted Trump's rhetoric would lead to the attack on the capital. Donald Trump. Over many months cultivated violence, praised it. And then, when he saw the violence his supporters were capable of he channeled it. To his big, wild historic event. So that is how the trial has been playing out today for some analysis on what impact it's having, particularly on Republicans. Let's bring in Whit Ayers, longtime Republican pollster political consultant. He's advised GOP senators over the years would air welcome back Hello, Mary Louise. How are you? I am hanging in there. Thank you. So we've got a number of polls out these last few days pulls from major news organizations. What are they saying about Republican support or lack thereof for impeachment? Is there any movement? Well. Overall support for conviction among all voters today is somewhat higher than it was in the first impeachment trial a year ago because the circumstances are completely different. But Republican opposition to conviction has hardly budged. Republicans are overwhelmingly opposed. The latest polling shows no more than 9 to 10%.

Which is afforded US Janet and may an opportunity to do some really big things I was called salt of the Earth yesterday which I thought was funny. In longhorn Texas as well as we thought, that was even funnier. We've renamed our town from Longview to Longhorn now I I love it. I guess SOCI- eight that we owe steers and Texas I. was kind of funny Yeah. But I've got lots of and this all started about five years ago when I was on a podcast as guests from Jack, Speer Co, the survival podcast, and he is crazy crazy smart, incredibly intelligent. man he he really knows what he's talking about and he's tastes certainly blonde by giving his opinion and you need to listen to him. But I got a lot of people from being on his podcast and people would say there I'm taking five thousand or ten thousand years and you know of course I'm looking at Lamma. It's not working. But I'm taking over ten thousand I said, it's not working MO- supplements don't work. And some of them are actually very toxic to you and there's reasons for that too. I finally did the percentages on it with the help of my count it because I'm not good at percentages good Lord I skipped that class in high school probably when fishing or something and ninety three percent of what people were buying and taking not working ninety three percents your odds of getting something niche. Good. Yeah and Jack Speer Co was talking about it and again spare 'cause a really crazy smart guy. You check him out he's he's really good he.

Paradigm about what you think about bottom of day and I said with the books already been ordered. It's on the way coast read books all day long. And Yeah, I don't know this change paradigm I try to push it in any way but I do think what this book outlines, which this guy says take thirty thousand a day. It's like one Manana don't do that not without testing and that this is from the book. Now from Jack Sparrow one of the things that people talk about is I can't sleep dog do you have any kind of thing for sleep? Well, if you're low in Vitamin D. That can cause you to not sleep well. At date threes plays a very pivotal role in the body achieving the state needed for deep sleep and very, very important and I have people at tight. You know five, thousand, ten, thousand and some it gets them up for you need to be I think the sweet spots hundred. Seventy, five or this book says more than that, and there's no evidence of it being toxic, but there's more to that some teach you that.

With maintaining an attitude of gratitude and educating us a little bit about some of the supplements that we may not know too much about well. We'll see what we get into. We were listening. You know. Jannine are being oscillated marseils which we're fine with each other. That's really kind of fun to hang with her but We were doing was watching TV Sunday and in the preacher talked about. We listen to several. Preacher talked about Psalms Ninety one and I got the Bible out and I've got all kinds of markers in there including a very beautiful picture of our sweet granddaughter. But there was no marker in Psalms Ninety One. I opened the Bible and it went directly to Psalms Ninety One. Now freaky is that And what that says he is alone. He alone is my refuge. My Place of safety is my God. Not Trusting the verse. Three says he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He goes on and on and on Yes this is the thing and and when we talk about supplements for immune system health. We're not make any claims about what it can do with Kobe. Nineteen is just if you believe. Your body has Immune system you know one of the best things you can do is to help your immune system help you the CDC actually come out and say that vitamin D might be advantageous for them to actually say that it might be advantageous We thought was a pretty big deal so we thought we might mention Vitamin D. A little bit so I in that kind of the way. The story went unnoticed. Sal Janet so skilfully keeps me from going down rabbit trails. That was really good Yeah it was a former. Cdc chief identifies the possibility curbing some of the corona virus This was a guy from two thousand nine to two thousand seventeen I think. Cdc Director says it's a possibility and they although not proof that vitamin D may strengthen. Immune system noticeably say possibility in May Particularly those that are vitamin D levels are low and then they go on to say that. That's about forty percent of and I say bull on that or I say bacon sandwiches pastor rusty would say although his wife tells him quit saying Bacon Sandwich inappropriate. But we do. Labs on GOBS and gobs of people in their vitamin D if it's highs thirty to forty and these people say but I'm in southern California. I'm on Beach Florida every day. I don't care. Your vitamin D is Low. And it's not even beginning to get adequate in my opinion. Tila hits fifty and above and I'd love to keep mine around eighty ninety but I don't have the gut absorption to do that so I think everybody needs to take it. It needs to be taken with heaven knowing. What's there you know? You need the lab. I think so. it Well in the other part of that is Because a lot of our probably written down to their local health food store by some vitamin D Are they all created equal? I mean do. They absorb the same way. Well you know. That's a good question Tucson Arizona. This Jack Speer Coast Survival podcast. One time and he has about quarter million listeners. Night they'd come on become you know patients and want me to help him. God Amon nightside while I'm taking five or ten thousand. Many of them said fiber ten thousand units a day. I'll say well it's not working finally got tired of hearing it and I did the statistics on it. Ninety three percent of everybody taken five thousand. I use a day or more was not working. And that's because they weren't getting the pharmaceutical type grade or why high is that? Oh I don't know a lot of supplements out there like you're crazy ex wife but well and and that's why we do the one with the K. as well right for people that have an absorption problem. Because I think there's more going on than just taking a vitamin D or zinc and isn't there. I mean yeah it. It really is the day mobilizes the calcium and then the K- helps shunt it back where it should be. Which is out of your coronary arteries out of your joints and it should be back into the brain and not into your kidneys. Mike and Kidney Stones so yeah I I I start with the D Three K. Two and a good ratio that Yeah this article. Further goes on to say Vitamin D supplementation reduces the risk of respiratory infection regulate side. O'connor cytokine production and can can limit the risk of other viruses such as influenza soap. Remember the words King. Remember that I I WANNA get into it lighter I hope because when you get a respiratory infection or many other. Saadane storms it. It becomes a kind of a vicious cycle. And it's a good thing but too much of it is not a good thing and I made a note here if I can find it Cytokines well-known chemical associated with inflammation has been oscillated in patients with all forms of coladas now. So we went from respiratory Toco Ladas. I'm not saying you have your head up your that comes from a journal of Perennial Interior nutrition and it also goes on these notes. I said toxic intestinal bacteria can produce interleukins another form of inflammatory chemicals and it comes from Journalism -nology journal free radical biology so these so-called cytokines storms can get to be really serious serious thing not just with your respiratory system. Although that's what's getting most of the attention now. So it's anytime you have inflammation inflammation good thing. That's protective your body's trying to protect you but it can get to be too much and get to be a vicious cycle so the cytokines are inflammatory proteins and it helps attack the so called germ or bacteria or virus but it can do so much. That actually hurts the body. At least in Mobility weight-loss eroding muscle tissues and power defined disease in itself and. I think that's one of the big things with people that have fibromyalgia thinks like that. You know super chronic pain syndromes in and this is almost always caused by a virus or bacteria according to most of the notes operate so wonder about he at chronic. What to do about it. Well you have to have a good week. Vitamin complex and like Janet said. They're not all signed. They're really not there's Things that the some of the higher ups are talking about vitamin C. whether it's orally or or the Pro Neolithic enzymes. That's pretty seriously Important and I hope I get to some other notes. We talk about bow films and Protease Enzymes. Zinc men are some. Oh my God good research about Q. And we use Kyushu with online. Because it has a synergistic effect and has the probiotic enzymes. That makes it work better within itself

Naturally we're we're going to offer you some supplements recommendations about Some things you can take to help speed it up and burn it up and we're also going to answer some very important questions that you guys have been writing into us Dr Lewis.

Anyway it's kind of fun so we're going to answer things like I follow all the rules but I still can't lose weight. I'm just getting old and my metabolism is slow. It's genetic there's nothing new about weight loss. How many of you have heard that one? I mean we've heard that on these last impounds just won't go away. I feel like I should give up and there are certain foods. I can't stop eating even though I suspect they're bad for me so we're going to help you figure out what to do to stop eating those and don't you have a weight loss pill you can give me. I can't tell you how many times people called our office asked. Do we have appeal. I to this day. Don't believe that we have discovered the magic pill. The doctor lous though I had a lady walk in one time she said. Can you help me lose weight. I said Yep being follow the rules. I said how much you need Lou. She said forty two pounds because she's going to class reunion. I said all right how long long you want me to. Or how long are you going to give me to help you with this. She says three weeks took Munaf out of my pocket opened up. The Blade says wish leg K.. Hey I've tried everything to lose weight. Maybe I need to accept myself as fat and give up my skinny clothes. Don't be doing body shaming that going on in lot now on TV. It's like will. You should not be making fun of people for being overweight but at the same time you should not accept that that is normal because we're healthy because as you're saying hey it's okay if you have diabetes heart attack stroke because you know we're we're just large so we're going to address that it's not your genetics go nutrition and diet strategies that work for others don't seem to apply to me so maybe there's a reason that happening will discuss. And then I lose five pounds and then I regained seven it so frustrating and I know women say that a lot so moon due to eh if any of those statements are resonating with you than hold onto your hats because we are going to tell you perhaps one of the most important secrets of all is at your hormones could be out of whack and there are things you can do about that. So doctor Lewis. I guessed the number one thing that would make you out of whack to gain. Weight is a estrogen imbalance. Well that could be. You've heard me say pesticides. Odds plastics and fire retardants. But there there are so many different things that can and mimic estrogen. There Call Zeno Estrin. ESTROGENS ARE ESTROGEN ESTROGEN MIMIC hers. And that's why us. Men have low testosterone generally and swan little girls develop breast and national cycle many years before they should because we have so many of does that are just prevalent In our society the plasticizers or fe lights And you know you really can't avoid it it's better to do do without as many as possible but You know use glasser. CERAM ACRE CAST IRON. You know when you can but Yeah these estrogen. Mimic IRS Whether you're a man or woman we do a very is trademarked. A Damn Diangelo methane which is the Sharks is end. All three carbon all goes to diangelo methane But that's what you get in Broccoli Cauliflower Brussel sprouts Kale but you know you can't eat eight sixty pounds of that a day and if you could your wife couldn't stand the gas so it's easier just to eat you know the type the dam and that helps take out their conjugate these bad estrogens and the other thing is it helps increase testosterone. It helps increase free and weakly bound testosterone. And I'm sorry Janet I was just talking about a man there I was thinking this was our magic weight loss pill because you know on on on female that damn actually makes a woman get her shape back to the way it was when she was younger. It's through the hips you. You know because that's where the bad estrogen balances stored it's through the Tummy area and hips. And where if you if you need a bra in inner back because you get those fouls where your bra strap goes and you know. I've had women say well I'm not losing weight on. It is like it's not really for White Law. She she usually lose five six pounds. Maybe ten But you're cleaning up your body. People are so adamant soaring trying to clean it. Maligning language tr- so adamant about Detox while he's got a detox every day so the dam is very very important. Man What it did did for me is it made my prostate very very healthy. Well on a woman whenever they tell you that that is the main reason that they can't lose weight. Eight in relation to win a man loses. Weight is because of estrogen dominance. I think it's a stress living with her husband but it could be. I could be wrong. Well we've been on birth earth control pills all the all the kind of things that make estrogen higher. You know eating the meat. That's full of antibiotics. All that stuff you know. They're shot up with all all kind of chemicals that create an estrogen balance. Now you know meet Gets a bad rap and Janice Janez ride about the The antibiotics antibiotics and the ESTROGENS. But don't think red meat's bad you and it's not causing global warming. If people think me causes global global warming they know absolutely nothing about carbon sequestration You don't buy into it but get the good meat nowhere. Your meat comes comes from and make sure it's raised properly well and you should be eating more vegetables as well because I know a lot of this Kito Diet and all that staff you do a whole lot of protein. You should be doing a whole lot of vegetables. Also because that helps absorb the fiber helps absorb some of those Excreted access estrogens on the true. I mean more vegetables but if there's spraying those chemicals on them they're just as bad if not worse I than the mate. So that's why I tell people even if you're not getting any more nutrient density you're not getting the chemicals or the same amount on a chemical so go organic grow your own if he can. That's why Jack Speer Co the survival podcast. He teaches you how to do that. But more vegetables absolutely absolutely better fat absolutely and more of it. I'm a big fan of Kito. That's the one and in all the studies that's the one where people lose twice as much weight as any other died and keep it off and we had a picture of Tony from up in Nebraska and he says thank you Dr Louis Raskin mayor. You ready to get whale. And he's given me a little bit of credit. I won't Tony. You look good hundred pounds lighter and I'm glad I could help but you've got to take credit. You did the work and you had the motivation. So God bless you. You're an inspiration to other people. Exactly he did the work. which is the big deal? No excuses Tony. You never had them. And that's why you got success. So our problem with burning up those stubborn calories number two do is excess n Selanne and which we check that on lab and most doctors. Don't would you talk a little bit about the lab for those of you that or new to listening to our podcast You know we had a lady in here yesterday. This YUP got a couple of panels a lab and we were like. Oh boy what. Two three hours hours for the doctor's office to send it to us and then we were disappointed is lying when you're talking about this excess estrogen and you're talking about insulin. Can you explain a little bit about what you do differently. And what you're running and what you're looking for and how you see that even if you're in a Even if your glucose is okay and you're a one C is okay okay you know. He wants season ninety. Two hundred and twenty day blood sugar average even if they're okay but the insulin gets excessive And the range depending dependent on the lab goes from about two to nineteen or two to twenty four and I tell people that is not normal. That's what's going on in America if insulin get somewhere around five six seven eight and higher it to start. Creating let's excess glucose so the body turns it into triglycerides Oculus rods and boo boos all sorts of different cholesterol markers. Then the track list Roger Create into the liver and the liver can't process it which probably can't because you've been doing too many carbs and sugars.
