"They need to think about sliding back a cut or In order to stabilize the rental market which they are directly disrupted And your latest column on the terminal is about how more inflation expectations silliness that you were writing about. So you're thinking that we aren't going to see higher inflation. But given what talking you're just about when it comes to especially shelter and housing, how you have different components when you're looking at inflation metrics, especially with CPI, because shelter is more like around a third of the waiting. Very different than, say, when you look at BCE, right, which is a very different waiting there. That's exactly right. So first, forget expectations. When we look at goods prices, not only have they stopped going up, many of them have come down in price, and quite a few have fallen to levels that were pre -pandemic. When we look lumber, at when we look at a number of industrial metals, when we look, you know, pretty much across the board, even energy, where are we, 68, 72 a barrel? That's what it was in six. So I'm okay with oil being the same price for 20 years. Yeah, it fell, it spiked, it collapsed again. But it's hard to say that we're really paying way too much for energy prices. Natural gas prices continue to drift lower despite the Russian invasion of Ukraine. So when we look at what's actually happening, prices are either no longer going up or up going much more slowly or actually coming down. But the Fed likes to do this thing called inflation expectations. They survey a few thousand people and they say, where do you think inflation will be in five years? And there really is one honest answer to that. How the do hell I know? Anything else besides that is a lie. So when people say, we think inflation is going to be appreciably higher in five years, all they're really revealing is their experience the past three to six months. And human psychology is that's on a leg. It took people a little while to to why recognize inflation had started to tick up, which is why inflation about the first half of 2021, we're like, yeah, where inflation is fine, just as it was spiking upwards. And then last summer, when it had peaked and reversed, people maintained their same much higher inflation expectations for a few years. Humans are terrible at predicting and random people telling you what CPI will be five years from now. I know there's been a lot of medical experiment with psilocybin and magic mushrooms. I didn't know it had actually reached the FOMC research department because that's the only explanation for this sort of survey. All right, Barry, we're getting to the these days. So in the last year, I picked up. It's funny to talk about this without Matt around. I know I picked up an old 9 11, a 1988 Cabrio that the previous owner had just beaten the hell out of. They had they had been racing and it they had modified it. So I was able to pick it up for really deep down down inside. I'm a value investor. So anytime I get a chance to pick up a Cabrio cheap, I did that. And I've slowly been bringing it back to stock. And as we're working on the car by dumb luck, it turns out that it's the M 491 special edition, which is the 9 11 turbo. It has everything the turbo has minus the turbo. So the whale tail, the fenders, the big tires, beefed up suspension and brakes. It's just the turbos were known as widow makers. They were notoriously dangerous. So this is everything minus that. And I I actually just brought it in. The last things I'm having done is the suspension returned to normal. And, um, that that's kind of my fun summer driver. You could pick up everybody looks at these expensive cars, right? If you if you do work, you get them in a decent price. All right, Barry, thanks so much. Barry Ritholtz. They're going to ask the car talk. This is Bloomberg. Let's get some company news right now with Steve Port. Paul, shares of Ford are down more than 2 % after the automaker reported U .S. vehicle sales climbed 11 .2 % in the second quarter. Ford lost ground to Tesla NGM, though, in the electric vehicle race, with EV sales falling 2 .8 % in the quarter. Ford has said it expects to lose $3 billion in its EV business this year. The state of Nevada reaches a settlement with Walgreens regarding the company's role in the opioid crisis. Bloomberg Stan Schwartzman reports. Steve, the $285 million settlement stems from a 2019 lawsuit filed by Nevada's attorney general. Walgreens was the last defendant in that case. The state reached agreements with Teva Pharmaceuticals last month and with CVS in May. Drugmakers and distributors have been accused of turning a blind eye to the dangers of opioid abuse while flooding the market with painkillers. Settlements related to the opioid epidemic have have totaled $50 billion nationwide. Steve, thanks, Dan. Currently, Walgreens stock is down more eye than on this lawsuit. One users million signed up for its new app Threads in today's launch. Threads is designed to be a direct rival to Twitter. Meta CEO Zuckerberg in Threads wrote, there should be a public conversations app with one billion plus people on it. Zuckerberg's message didn't quite resonate with some users and that's because they really couldn't see it. Instead users pulling up Zuckerberg's Thread profile were greeted by a content message of being not available although a Facebook spokesperson says that some posts were available at least on the web version.

"Do need purpose. They need a sense of work. I mean, obviously, traditionally women weren't in the labor force in such high numbers, and they were able to be okay. But I think it's harder on men to not be working. How does this fit together if it does with the opioid epidemic? Because I've seen various numbers that would suggest that middle aged men are particularly hard hit. Particularly in the middle of the country, frankly, by opioid abuse. Yeah, and you know, there's a real sort of chicken and egg problem that we haven't really gotten to the bottom with. I mean, I think Angus deaton wrote deaths of despair, which is that men are so depressed by their economic prospects that they're turning to drugs. Or it could be, they turn to drugs for a lot of other reasons. And then they end up not being able to work for that reason because now they're effectively disabled. In my column I wrote about young man, I know who was just couldn't really thrive in school and ended up turning to heroin. And he's now gotten past his addiction, but ended up really sort of losing a lot of the sort of prime years he would have either been in a school or in the labor market. So now he's effectively unemployable. Yeah, there's also a social aspect to you fall behind your class, so to speak. And then when you try to reenter the workforce, you're working with people much younger than you. Yeah, and I mean, it's a hard proposition to go into a job when you're 30 and you've never really worked. There's just some stigma attached to it potentially. Yeah, I mean, I can see why employers would give pause to that. So, I mean, obviously, opioids is, I think, a big factor as well, particularly in certain parts of the country. You have to understand the problem before you can address it, but the question I have really Allison is anyone in your research starting to address these issues. I mean, not really. I mean, I think there's the Richard Reeves book and the ever set book that I think are really sort of raising these questions. And I mean, they said, I think there's a lot we can do. Certainly around opioids certainly around education. But I'm starting to suspect when we think about the women thing, the fact that household income is just higher. There is a certain number of men, no matter what is going on in the world, just are going to be disinclined to work. And before they kind of had to and now fewer them have to. So we might just have a lower equilibrium participation rate, even if we do to solve a lot of our bigger social problems. Our fair number of men just staying home with the kids, letting their wife work. That's an increased but it's still actually a very small number and actually odds are men who don't work tend to be unmarried. Fascinating. So really interesting column, very thought provoking that's Allison schrager. Thanks so much.

J. D. Vance Reacts to Last Night's Speech by Joe Biden
"Hey listen I don't want to get out ahead of my skis here I know you're busy on the campaign trail but I feel great about your race I think you guys are doing a great job in the closing days So last night Joe Biden gave another disastrous speech I bet your opponent Tim Ryan and others would have wished it didn't happen But what a wasted opportunity JD I mean he could have addressed the problems you're dealing with there in Ohio You know opioid abuse public safety the fed no crisis the border crisis And it's not what he did He chose to talk about the mega mango whatever semi fascist or whatever nonsense This guy's just he's got to be dragging down everyone across the country Yeah it's the weirdest thing and of course he's made Nancy Pelosi sort of the centerpiece of the Democrats campaign down the stretch here That's not going to get a lot of independence out to vote for the Democrats Here's the thing that I think he's trying to do Dan just to try to play not devil's advocate but to understand what they're trying to do I think Democrats are looking at the early voting numbers and they realize that it is catastrophic It's not just that they're not appealing to independence They're also not even appealing to their own base And so I think this was a partisan rant It was an effort to turn out the democratic base because even they are not doing what you know it's just not going to work not enough people care about what the Democrats say is a threat to democracy The real threat is democracy is the tech industry I think censoring political speech that's not something that Democrats are interested in talking about And I just don't think they're going to be able to turn out their people with a message focused on something that happened two years ago

"She is running for governor against incumbent Democrat Tony Evers. Next year. She joins me live on the line right now, Uh, Miss Kleefisch. Thank you so much. Congratulations on making it official. However, did you keep this secret for so long? Yes. I know. I know. It is the worst kept secret in Wisconsin politics, But, you know, I am super proud. Uh, Our team. I'm super proud of the work that led up to this moment. I was so delighted to see you know, a couple 100. People show up at my dad's company this morning, and you know it was. It was a special moment. Ellis flew home from college and violence took the day off of school, which deeply disappointed her as you might imagine, Um, and you know, we're all in the car right now, on our way to Appleton, and then after that, Wassana and then back To walk a shock county for our final event of the night, But I hope that that is indicative of the type of work. I'm going to put into this because then you have seen Your listeners have seen the failed and incompetent leadership of Tony Evers and what it has done to the state of Wisconsin. What a disaster. These last two years have been, and we're offering something different, a far more aspirational and reasonable, honest vision for the future. And I could not be more excited about it. I mean, I'm I'm running because I have two kids that I just want to come back to Wisconsin to live their American dreams and hopefully one day raise their families. But Order to do that. We're going to need to have safe streets. We're going to need actually accountable schools and great paying jobs. And Tony Evers is not the way to get there. Why are you qualified? More than any other Republican who might have already entered the race or enters the race? From here on out? Why are you more qualified? To run them them. Why are you qualified bottom line to be governor of the state of Wisconsin? Then I have both the passion and the experience. I did spend eight years As Scott Walker's lieutenant governor, and in my capacity as lieutenant governor. Things were a little bit different than what you have seen and lieutenant governors in Wisconsin's history. I was actually in all of the budget meetings, asking the questions and helping to refine and define the policy. I was in all of the Cabinet meetings, and when the governor was out of town, I led the Cabinet meetings. I also led my own initiative. Everything from our tax reform round tables to starting the governor's small business stomach to starting a small business academy in order to connect entrepreneurs to the resources they need to start their own small businesses. I led a task force on minority unemployment. I led the task force on opioids abuse with John Nygren. And on top of that, you know, I chaired a couple national organizations, even a lot of federal agency in Washington D C for year after I lost my job as lieutenant governor, I'm ready and there is no one else who can hit the ground running in the way I can and who will Serve the people of Wisconsin with the passion and the knowledge that I have Now you faced criticism for the organization that you just cited the 18 48 project, which for full disclosure has been running ads on our flagship station W I s N radio that this was essentially a campaign. Outfit. How do you respond to what Democrats are already calling, Uh, shady behavior on your part? Have been 100% transparent about the purpose of the 18 48 project from its inception. I said that we have too many people in Wisconsin who feel unheard and unless ins too, and it should be the people dictating the policy to the government, and not the other way around. And so I started the 18 48 project named for When Wisconsin became a state and our pioneer spirit. I started the 18 48 project to travel the state and truly listen. In listening sessions, take notes and write down people's policy ideas, solicit their thoughts about how to make a better Wisconsin and I promised that we would build all of their good ideas into the policy agenda for Wisconsin's future, and I delivered I have done more than 50 listening sessions across the state of Wisconsin, an additional 22 sessions just to a scholars and experts to establish the viability in the constitutionality of the policy choices that we made to include in the documents that we release Just a couple of weeks ago called the forward agenda with our top 56 policy objectives or Wisconsin's future. And before you ask Well, is this your platform? I'm going to tell you This should be and I've said it from the start. This should be Everyone. Vision for Wisconsin. Conservative, reasonable, bold future This should be him. No all conservatives. Thing from because these are the ideas that unite us the ideas that come directly from the people. And there they are. If you take a look at at that website 18 48 project org. I urge you just read That first couple of pages. You don't even need to redraw 16 pages. But I'm proud of the work that we have done listening the people of this confidence. Rebecca Kleefisch joining me, she announced earlier today her candidacy officially for the governorship of Wisconsin. Now, after the election of 2020, Ms Kleefisch, the Overwhelming sentiment of conservatives and trust me. I have heard this more than most. Because the investigation I did into the integrity of the 2020 election here in Wisconsin, there is widespread sentiment. That because there wasn't enough done that The 2022 election will be marred by the same problems without getting into what you would do as governor because the more immediate concern is what you would do as a candidate as we saw things like democracy in the park in Madison leading up to the 2020 election as we saw things like Clerks in Dane County in Milwaukee County, giving patently unlawful advice for people to mark themselves as indefinitely confined to skirt voter idea requirements. As we see all of these things develop, and they will undoubtedly develop in the run up to 2022 over the next year. How will you pledge to your voters to conservatives across Wisconsin that you will do everything you can to challenge changes to the law made at the last minute to challenge The effort to put a weight on the scales of electoral justice here in Wisconsin. Well, First of all we need to pursue of full forensic audit. And I think we are seeing that through the work of both state wrapped in L branch in and justice Michael Gable men through WHO Speaker Flosses Initiative to investigate 2020. I am focused and someone must be on fall of 22. But to your point we're going to go into that race, fighting under the exact same walls and what we fought under in 2020, which means we must have a ruthless Hard working ethic grassroots effort in order to assure that we have the votes to take back the governor's office November 8th of 2022. That's going to involve five strong strategy, most of which is documented, frankly, in an op ed that you wrote. Some time ago, and I hope because I'm talking about it right now that you would be willing to maybe repost it at the top of your Web page because in it, Dan, you talk about the Harvard Cummings as Republicans and one of the things that we will tackle in our campaign and in conjunction with Patriot groups and the Republican Party across the state. One of those things is we have 72 counties, but we have 72 Republican Party branches across Wisconsin. Do you know, Dan and I know you know, But you know friends of the show that every single election clerks are required to take lifts from both the Democrat Party and the Republican Party to pull off in order to employ poll workers for the day..

"In the sense of getting rational about retrofitting the country, starting with the energy system dealing with the climate. But also with employment. I mean, is anybody else? Quite so Keynesian as AOC? You know, I think there's a O. C has advisers who I think are deeply Keynesian when she talks about MMT and modern monetary theory, I think this is just kind of a spin on a particular strand of canes and thought, you know, I think both of the Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren campaigns. We're talking about ideas in the way that Keynes would have applauded, and I think some of the more moderate campaigns to but the fundamental uniting force Between all of those people is the belief that the problems that face us are not beyond our ability to address hit like Andrew Yang. I think Yeah, I don't. I don't. I think the ambition of a program like you be. I think he universal basic income that Andrew Yang talked about. I think Keynes would applaud and the fact that they were serious ideas that they were ambitious enough to meet The scope of the problem. I think that is what he would find so compelling. He wouldn't be worried about the arithmetic so much as the sort of passion and optimism. I think of those proposals. How would he take us through the rhetorical contradiction between Lockdown and open up. Lock down so you can open up but lockdown. How long till when the urgencies on both sides. How would he guide us? Kane is always very clear that we should leave science scientists. So I think he would first say people who know about public health and people who know about biology and viruses should be doing the work necessary to determine when it is safe for people to go out, and he would view the public health crisis is the most immediate thing that we need to address. Almost as a matter Of course, I think he would be kind of shocked at How much of the economic recovery package or packages that have been passed? Just don't really have much to do with public health or medical emergencies. So he'll be talking about you know, Let's make sure that we have Contact tracers and nurses trained and you know the equipment that every doctor needs and then we listened to scientists and listen to the latest research and determine when it's safe to get back out. But after that, once you have the pandemic under control Then it's time for political leadership to convince people that in fact, the pandemic is under control. And it's time to go go and live our lives again. I think he'd be very concerned by the way that the country is sort of polarized into people who are pro mask or anti mask or in favor of staying home forever under all circumstances and shaming people who go out into parks. And people who say, you know I should be allowed to, you know, coffin somebody's face because that's my freedom. Um, that is these are not good ways to think about about the problem, And there's evidence of a society that is that is splitting apart rather than coming together. Speaking splitting apart. I mean, what would he make of the unbelievable Concentrations of wealth in this country and the and the figures embodying it. Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, I mean, I think he would be stunned in the general theory. He says that if some inequality of wealth can be justified that it's not necessary that everybody in society have the same amount of everything. But he says, you know, I think that inequality on the scale that exists today 1936 is not justifiable either morally or economically. Today. Of course, inequality is much, much more severe than it was in 1936, not just of of wealth and income but of life expectancy. Life expectancy. United States has declined for the last two years that it's been measured. It's the first time that's happened since World War one, and we've had a lot of calamities over the The century between World War one and today, So that's that's happening, not because rich people are dying off. It's happening because people who we described as working class are dying from deaths of despair, whether it's from opioid abuse or alcoholism. The problem is not just a mathematical problem. Some people having more money. It's it's people living in different worlds, and he would see that as being a very, very troubling thing, not only for political stability, I think, but also just as a matter of morality. He he often talked about wealth accumulation as a sort of grotesquerie, something that was sort of dirty or unclean that what you really want to do is enjoy the thing in itself. You know, you want to go see the painting. You want to enjoy nice activities. But having large amounts of money was sort of a Sign that you hadn't lived your life to the fullest because of course, you had all this money lying around. You hadn't spent it, and I think he would want people to be living those lives certainly not living the types of lives that most working people live today. Zachary Carter. We end up as you do in your book with that wonderful Keynesian paradox of feeling in the long run. We're all dead and in the long run All things are possible. Work it out for us. He was a man of many contradictions. But in the long run, we're all dead. Isn't a statement of pessimism. It is a statement of the need to seize the moment and take action because in the long run, things are not just going to work themselves out in the long run. Life is over. 1942. Oh, he says, Look, it is true that I have said in the long run. We're all dead. But in the long run, almost anything is possible. If we almost seize the moment, almost not. You know, he didn't believe that you know, pigs could fly. Although perhaps if you if you invested enough into you know, new pig biotechnology. You could you could make them some wings. He certainly would have applauded that level of creativity. People leaves in the long run. Almost anything is possible, but only if we seize the moment. Now and so he is very critical of this sort of Victorian virtue of thrift that we must always be saving for tomorrow in the future, says the future may never come. Certainly not if we don't Seize the day today. Zachary Carter. It's a wonderful book and an intoxicating, sort of example of a public life. I don't think there's anyone who has lived the life. That John Maynard Keynes lived. He was not merely a philosopher or an economist who is also a statesman. He created the National Health Service, an institution that survives today, and he was one of the dominant figures that the Bretton Woods Conference of 1944, which reshaped the global economic and financial order for decades. These are extraordinary things for any of these is an extraordinary thing for one life, And yet he did them all. And his best friend was Virginia Woolf. The greatest one of the greatest English writers ever. Well, I was going to say, never having read the general theory but tempted. Now he's one of the great writers of modern times. As a stylist as a penetrating thinking wordsmith. He's incredible. I would caution you against reading the general theory of what you're after his great style, But almost everything else, he wrote, is just beautiful. The general theory can be authority pretzel it, but But his essays in biography, his his essays in persuasion, There's a collection of.

"Dr Jane Hughes. Jane. Welcome back to Operation Freedom. Well, Good afternoon, Dave. It's wonderful to be with you again. So, Jane, um so real quick here a Joe Biden when he a couple weeks before The election. He did a town hall with George Stephanopolous and he said, quote. You can't legislate by executive orders unless you're a dictator. Mm hmm. So since he took office, he is, uh s so far by way of comparison. Bill Clinton in the 1st 10 days. Author two executive orders. George W. Bush two executive orders Barack Obama five executive orders Donald Trump for executive orders and Joe Biden where you Can't You cannot legislate by executive orders he has authored over 40 executive orders. Several of them have focused on health care. And I'd like your take. I'd like your take on this. Since he is authored one of the one of the executive orders prior to leaving office. President Trump Set into effect. Ah program that the big pharmaceutical companies were not happy about about drastically reducing the prices of insulin and epinephrine, which are used in epi pens for people who have allergic reactions, such as Children from peanuts. Well, Joe Biden Since he took office, he issued an executive order canceling That cost reduction program. Jane. This dramatically increases the cost of anyone who is on insulin for diabetes and drastically increases the price of EPI pens chain. Can you make sense of this for me? Because I can't see any sense in this other than paying back big pharmaceutical companies. Well, I can't make any sense out of it from a medical standpoint, but it does make perfect sense because Joe Biden said that he was going to cancel out everything. That the trumpet meant administration did, although he said to cancel out the damage the Trump administration did. And so once again here we see that we have politics. Have gone so deranged literally that they would strip cost savings from to life saving drugs, and you can't really explain it in any other way. It is then addictive politics. Have gotten so extreme that you really rationally can't explain it. Jane do Do you believe there's an opioid issue problem in this country? Yes, I do. I do, too. And we've seen tens of thousands of Americans die over the years because of opioid abuse. Would you agree with that statement? Yes, I would. So prior to leaving office, Uh, President Trump instituted expanding. Access toe opioid abuse treatment. Well. Joe Biden Cincy In the past 10 days, he cut an executive order. Cutting He expanded access. Opioid abuse treatment that can you make sense of that, Because this is another issue. I cannot make sense of. Well, let's say it's the same explanation that we have for the epinephrine. And for insulin. These are literally actions to cancel out any good that President Trump may have accomplished during his presidency. I mean, I think that's how far down the rabbit hole of hatred for Trump that they've They've gone another area. That's just, uh Really dumbfounding is the cancelation of a short term insurance policies that people were able to get. That didn't have to be compliant with the A. C. A And mainly, the people served by that are people who can't afford the whistles and bells in the A C. A policies as required by Obamacare. And so this is going to strip people who are people finally to get affordable insurance that they could extend for at least a year, And I believe it was up to two years that was again stripped out to who benefits from that. That would be the insurance industry. I guess that would Oh, Jane. So, Jane, um, I mentioned, um we got our YouTube take channel taking down for a week because I didn't even say covert 19. But I called it. I referred to it as the freedom stripping virus. Jane, You're a very good friend of mine. And you're one of the friends who if I'm off on something is very honest. I don't think you're right. I think you're wrong. So Jane have at me with our multitude of listeners in all 50 states and over 100 20 countries that listen to this show folks that listen to the show worldwide. Saying it was I off by by referring to Cove. It is a freedom is the freedom stripping virus. Oh, obviously. No. You are not off what This is, of course. Characteristic of is the censorship that we see that is increasingly bold When you take a look at people who are prevented from posting on social media because they hold political ideas that are different than Uh, the owners of Facebook and Twitter, Uh, when we have censorship, and we don't have a platform where we can freely discuss issues we really see STO have and educated public. And I think it's very It's very frightening. You were right on the money. We have never done this before for any other epidemic or pandemic, where we have quarantine literally healthy people, not to mention the disinformation. And I blame Dr Fauci for a lot of it. But the and Dr Burke the misinformation Coupled with the mainstream media whipping people into Ah, frenzy of literal fear. We have had a close and personal look in the United States of America. What totalitarian ism really looks like if you look at a lot of the cities where the mayor's suddenly became dictators. You could only have four people in your home for dinner.

Particularly those people who President Trump struck a chord with on the campaign trail when he promised to save their jobs? What is your message to them right now? And also to the oil industry executives who are listening? Are you putting them on notice today? What? We didn't come here to put anybody on notice except to the seriousness of bread. The Bidens intent. Tonto do what needs to be done to deal with this crisis, And it is a crisis with respect, Tonto. Those workers no. Two people are more in this room. I'm more concerned about it, and the president of the United States has expressed in every comment he has made about climate. They need to grow the new jobs that pay better than a cleaner that I mean, you know, you look at the consequences of black lung for a minor, for instance, and measure that against the fastest growing job in the United States Before Cove, it was solar power technician. Same people could do those jobs. But the choice of doing that solar power one now is a better choice. Little similarly, you have the second fastest growing job. Pre Cove it was wind turbine technician. This is happening, 75% 70% of all the electricity that's come online in the United States in the last few years. Came from renewables. Not, you know, coal plants have been closing over the last 20 years. So what President Biden wants to do is make sure those folks Have better choices that they have alternatives that they could be the people who go to work to make the solar panels. So again. That was John Kerry. His response when asked what his message would be the oil and gas workers who Actually seeing end to their livelihood. Now it is true that pre pandemic Wind turbine service technicians and solar installers were two of the three fastest growing occupations in the U. S Nurse practitioners were the other Here's one problem, though. We're talking about 50,000 coal mining jobs. It doesn't even include all the other jobs related to call that's just call mining. In 10 years. Wind turbine jobs are projected to go from 7002 a little over 11,000. Solar from 12,000 to 18,000. That leaves you short about 20,000 coal workers. And that's assuming just for the sake of argument. You can just want them out like that. Which we all know you can't not interchangeable parts. And it certainly wouldn't be a super easy transition. Solar installers need Moderate on the job training and wind turbine technicians need long term on the job training. At the same thing. When it comes to the 30 occupations with the most projected job growth. Wind and solar nowhere to be found. Most of those air in the health care industry. Now let's talk about income. Median wage for coal miners was about $59,000 in 2019. Wind technician's 53,000 solar installers 45,000 so Comes with pay cut if you can find one of those jobs and get one See This is where people like John Kerry Let's face it. Someone who has no clue what it's like to work in the coal industry. This is where they go wrong. There are opportunities in renewable energy. Lots of them. Those opportunities air on Lee going to grow as those sectors of the economy expand. Don't be S people about the transition. It ain't right. It's insulting. Dad worked at the coal power plant in Crystal River. Now he wasn't a coal miner, but it's a job in the coal industry. The idea that you take those workers let alone miners. Just switch him over. Mom. That's not to say they're not smart enough for our capable enough. It's not that simple. He would also need solar and wind companies to set up their operations in coal towns or a place like Crystal River. Is that a guarantee? Are we mandating that Were you expecting these people to move their entire lives to someplace new where those kinds of companies would want to set up their operations? See when politicians do stuff like that it impacts the public's view of their entire agenda. So you take an issue that deserves our attention and a market that has real opportunities waiting. Chance for America to lead something that we can benefit from. Now in long term. And instead of something we can rally around You lose trust and support. It's better. Just be honest. We're in a messy period. American history. It's like when the country shifted from an agricultural based economy to an industrial one. Global economic conditions have led us away from being an industrial economy that makes stuff. And pushed us into a service economy that does stuff. And the disruptions aren't stopping any time soon. Technology is causing a reckoning in retail media. So many other sectors. You don't tell people we can stop the inevitable from happening. That's something that Trump did because it's not true. This is a boulder rolling downhill. You're not stopping it. But you also don't offer false promises, either. Like what the Biden administration is doing. What we need is to anticipate where the opportunities are. And then offer support and investment toe workers and businesses looking to take advantage of that shift. And we need a real safety net for those like some in coal country. We'll get caught in the disruption and for a variety of different reasons. Can't bounce right back. Instead in too many of these places. Nobody came to their aid. We saw Oh POW opioid abuse suicides. Ton of other issues skyrocket in the wrong direction. It's just like with what we've seen over the past year. The government's going to play a role in effectively closing down businesses. Whether it's through energy policy or capacity limits during a pandemic. And you can make the case for some of those decisions as being in the public interest. Being Good in a big picture sense. They're going to do that. They need to anticipate the fall out and offer a lifeline. You can't just leave Americans hanging. That's not how this country is supposed to work. A little bit of the phones. If you have any thoughts on that part, that's that's part one here. I've got a second part.

"opioid abuse" Discussed on WJR 760
"I would agree, and we all have an opportunity to volunteer to be. In a part of some of these committees. I was appointed and really important health care. Committees. I was for prescription drugs and opioid abuse. But all of that stems from not having food and not having everything you need, and it's been my you know, since I was a young girl to now, something that's very important to me is to make sure that the people that are in Michigan and to address their their needs and to make sure that it's done so I volunteered to do it was something very important. I wanted to be on this committee. And when I found out that you We're leading it, Dr Phil and that it was being done with the brain power of all these food bankers. There's no one better than Jerry Burson. And there's no one you know, the food banks in Michigan are second to none. I've had opportunity of two or many of them. And if if you ever have an opportunity to go toe the one that Jerry heads up Gleaners it's like going to Sam's Club. And it's It's amazing what what Jerry has done for the people of Southeast Michigan. There's a you know, Food Bank of Eastern Michigan and then Flint. It's beautiful, but the kitchen's that they have and what they need. So being a part of this group and being able to help address the food needs that people in Michigan are facing was extremely important to be and you're right. It's different than Looking out, Um what causes people to get to a place where they don't have food? Maybe it is opioid crisis, but it's really laser focused on collaborating with partners on looking at Downstream and how how we get food from X to Z. You know why And and we really You've done a really good job of no hurting this great big group of people and a lot of good minds and voices and putting together a concise report for the governor on how we solve this because I know it's yours and Jerry's and all the food bankers goal is to solve hunger for the people in Michigan. The state that has the second most diverse egg egg producing population should not have people as many people almost a million people now that are hungry. We should be able to solve hunger for the people of Michigan. And I believe that the report that the committee has worked so hard on putting together is a great big step toward doing that. Well, you know, one of the things we've said on this show more than once is, there's two words that should never go together and that's hunger and child. And and one of the one of the huge outcomes that we hope comes from this work of the Food Security Council is a focus on making sure that Michigan's Children are never hungry. That not one single child in this state needs to be hungry, and we know that that solving any big, complex social issue Is going to take more than one tool in our tool bag right? And that's why there's a commission with a lot of different people with a lot of different expertise. Who could bring multiple tools, multiple ideas, multiple strategies, but what I can promise is this There is no future were a safety net won't be needed. Things happen to people. They lose their jobs. They lose a loved one from the home, either because of divorce or death. They they have a health crisis. And all of these things create times when people need help, and it is not insulting to need help. Needing help is something that happens and it and in many, many instances, getting people the help they need soon enough and making sure that it's enough help soon enough. Prevents them from cycling into a much worse situation. That's way more expensive and difficult to fix. So you know, we're eager to continue to see the work of this commission were greatly Um, anticipating that this is going to be formative work as we look at what systems do we really need to have in Michigan? And how do we make those real? Right? I mean, when you when you say that maybe that's why it's so important to me. My dad died when I was a kid, and I remember being at Royal Scot bowling Elliot my first job and finding out he died and he was the sole breadwinner. And in those times you didn't know We didn't have life insurance. He was 47 years old. You know you go, and then you go to nothing. And you know, I've had some times in my life where you have to make decisions. Do I buy food or do I pay for the light bill, and you have little kids that are helping And it's due. You're right. You don't plan on coming home and having your 47 year old Dad die or a divorce or anything like that. And it does play havoc on light on your life, and it has been very It's heartwarming to me to know that there is this resource through the food banks, and we have to make sure that we do have a safety net and I tell people all the time No one chooses. No one wants to live in a place where they can't afford their food. This isn't like we grow up and think, Think. Thankfully, we can go to a food bank. No one wants to be able to do that. They want to work They want to be able to provide for their families. But when things happen, like you said, Jerry, and things have happened to me personally, that I never intended to happen. You a safety nets.

Getting your wisdom teeth removed may be totally pointless
"There's mounting evidence that getting wisdom teeth removed is not actually thing you need to do now noting evidence as in according to a two thousand seven study in the American journal of public health, at least two-thirds of wisdom teeth extractions are unnecessary aside from the medical expenses. Of course, this is a problem because new research suggests that wisdom teeth removal may be linked to an increased risk of opioid abuse. You can think of allusion for having wisdom teeth in the first place back in the day before humans discovered fire we needed as many molars as we could get having a spare set of tough molars pop up in the back of the job gave us a competitive evolutionary advantage. In the meantime, we started. Ding, software foods and taking better care of teeth. So we stopped needing the extra help. But evolution doesn't really care. Are just have shrunk in size over the years. But the genes that determined human joss is completely different from the ones that determine how many teeth humans get what that means is that we end up with smaller just trying to fit the same amount of teeth and wisdom teeth get the boot since they're the last ones to show up wisdom teeth, actually, one of the most interesting fields of genetic research today because they show up entirely after birth and they don't fully forum in about thirty five percent of the population. Now back to the original point about getting your wisdom teeth pulled. There are obviously medical cases where it's necessary. But if they grow in place the way they're supposed to the generally don't cause any problems for the rest of your life. So don't just assume you have to get them out. But obviously always do what your doctor says. And maybe someday researchers will truly be able to get to the root of this problem. Do you have your wisdom teeth? They're gone. I still have my wisdom teeth. Yeah. Yeah. Dentis? When I was a teenager was like grown in fine. But let's get him out. Anyway. Now's like, no. Thank you. And I didn't and I'm fine.

Second Opinion
The decrease in life expectancy is far more complicated than just an opioid epidemic
"After decades of the life expectancy rising in the US. The CDC reported this week that for the third year in a row. Life expectancy rates have declined blame his focused on drug overdoses, but the stories not that simple. This is Dr Michael Wilks with a second opinion over the past few years life expectancy has declined more than at any time since the turn of the nineteen hundreds at that time. There was a major World War. And as I have reported we were in the midst of the world's largest flu epidemic this week. One of my patients. Let's call her Stella nearly died of a opioid overdose. Luckily, her fifteen year old daughter came home from school early Stella was unconscious. But her daughter knew exactly where her mother kept the narc. Can she gave her mother a dose and called nine one one the? Decline in life expectancy has several causes. But what's clear is that the increased death rate is impacting younger and middle aged adults and many of those deaths are attributed to drug related deaths particularly opioids, but the opioid debts are themselves more complicated. Some of those deaths are due to carelessness in some of them are due to bad judgment. But clearly some of them are due to suicide attempts. In fact, suicide is a silent contributor to drug overdose deaths. Some of this is semantics if the cause of death is an opioid overdose. But the person was suicidal does it count as a drug death or a suicide and many times it's impossible to determine without a suicide note. But the suicide death rate last year in the US was the highest it has been in fifty years there were more than forty. Seven thousand suicides for Stella life had been hard. She lost her husband her home and eventually her car. She had been treated for depression and has been suicidal on and off for about a year. She and her daughter had a fight the morning of the drug overdose. In fact, that's why her daughter came home early from school. But it's not only drugs and suicide other causes of death, heart disease strokes, and diabetes have also increased and for all of these illnesses and for suicide it's important to look at high risk populations in places where there is high poverty low education rural lifestyle and poor health. Insurance death rates are higher than they are in other places and one more thought let's not forget this year's increase in the number of gun related deaths about one thousand more deaths than last year. And most of those were related to suicide. Now, the problem for Stella is that drug treatment centers are full and it's hard to find doctors who can prescribe opioid abuse medications. Let alone find access to a skilled mental health professional if we are serious about decreasing preventable causes of death. We need to take mental health far more seriously than we're currently doing. This is Dr Michael Wilks with a second opinion this podcast was made by public radio station.

Trump enacts anti-opioid abuse package in rare bipartisan step
"Stop the addictions before they start. So basically making changes to Medicaid and Medicare to attempt to limit over prescription of opioids and money for research of paint treatments that don't involve opioid. And they're also kind of provisions aimed at stopping foreign shipments of illegal drugs. So so let me ask about this because this is a bipartisan measure. Virtually everyone voted for it. I believe Mike Lee of Utah, Republican of Utah was the only no-vote in the Senate, a handful of votes in in the house bipartisan legislation. But if I'm not mistaken, one of the disagreements was about how large it should be, how much money should be put on the table. Does it seem like eight billion dollars, which is on the lower end of what they debated. That's enough. A lot of experts and a lot of people working in this field say it's not enough and that while this Bill does a lot of good things as far as regulations and making changes to two things of that nature, it just doesn't provide enough money. They say that you probably tens of billions of dollars to address this issue and they say, it's a lot like the aids and HIV crisis of ABC nineties, and you need that type of massive response to get it under control. And this epidemic is actually taking more lives each year than the aids crisis did at its peak. When we go into communities as we do and talk with voters and ask them what their concerns are opioids or meth. Those are often leading very high ranking concerns. I imagine politicians are happy to be doing something about this right in an election year. Yes. And this is remember I congress hasn't been very good at passing. Big deals or passing. Major legislation. So this is something where they can go back to their districts and say that they did something both parties can point to this. And as you said, it's a big rule issue, big issue all over the country, and and people are looking at it as a top threat. So this is something lawmakers
