"19th indeed sports time 1215 we're live now with mister Robert wood. All right, dean, the mystic scored the first 7 points of game one in Seattle. They led by halftime and they led late in the fourth quarter, but the storm living up to their name within 86 83 rally to victory. Elena delle donne dominated the second half on her way to a game high 26 points, but Seattle's jewel, Lloyd, she was shut down by the mystics backward in the first half, but in the fourth quarter, different story. She made all four of her field goals, scored ten of her 16 points, so now the mystics have to win game two in Seattle Sunday afternoon to stay alive in this series. The nationals and Padres still going at it now in defensive struggle in San Diego still nod at one a piece now top of the 8th inning, the two teams trading solo homers early in the game and Hannah ball Sanchez actually had his best game of the season. He allowed only one hit in 5 innings, but that hit was a Manny Machado home run. So now it's up to the bats in the bullpen and Victor arano doing his part. He struck out Juan Soto with the bases loaded prompting Soto to slam his bat and helmet in frustration. The Orioles fell to the cubs three to two in a makeup game so the O's now headed to Boston for a three game series with the Red Sox. Rob wood fork WTO sports.

"Live again, we are with mister Robert wood. All right, dean, what if I told you that the nationals and Orioles could win games the same way? I don't know. What would that mean? Yeah, you don't care. I do care, I do. The nationals right now, leading in Los Angeles, four to one in the top of the 8th inning. And did all their scoring in the 5th inning. It was a four run 5th inning. Orioles fans, that sounds familiar because that's exactly how the Orioles won. A four run 5th inning, they beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5 to one Nick vespe getting the win and relief. He's three and O on the season after tossing four strikeouts in one and two thirds scoreless innings, but let's talk about Los Angeles right now. The Dodgers, giving up that four run frame, Paolo espino has a one start all season. He's right now in line for his first win, he only lasted for innings, but right now this nationals bullpen getting it done three scoreless innings in which they've only allowed one hit and trying to add some insurance, but the 8th inning just ended or the top of the 8th inning anyway. So the nationals now, again, it's the bullpen trying to drive them to victory here today. Back in Baltimore, the ravens adding some depth at running back ahead of training camp, Corey Clement, agreeing to a deal with Baltimore, bear in mind, JK dobbins, Gus Edwards, both on the physically unable to perform list. They are still rehabbing the ACL tears that ended their 2021 campaign early. Rob woodwork WTO sports. Thanks, rob, as always, 1247, Tuesday morning on

"Right that's the other part of that So where is he going to be I mean do the rams bring him back In hopes of him being ready for if he pulls an Adrian Peterson and he can be ready for the final stretch Right Right January and playoffs That's the interesting part two is it's tough because sports especially the NFL it will test loyalty versus business and sometimes those two things are direct competition Exactly right But think about that It's not just OBJ It's also Robert Woods who's coming off an ACL So if you're the rams and you're looking at your receiver receiving core you've got Cooper Cup and who Like what's the plan Yeah you got to bring somebody in there who can play Yeah I mean you got to you got to upgrade because the two guys you need are won't be available for quite some time Yeah so we saw the Super Bowl where it's it was a freaking grind for the rams offense once OBJ went down And you have to know that's largely what the season is going to look like if you don't surround Cooper Cup with a competent number two you know And they've got a couple of young guys Tutu atwell was a second round receiver He was on IR Jacob Harris he was a fourth round rookie receiver both those guys were rookies but they were on IR Can you just trust that hey Tutu atwell he's gonna be our number two receiver How do you know that You don't Yeah And a lot of things are going to transpire because the number one thing that happens from a Super Bowl winning team is people want what you have Guys are going to be offered a lot of money to go other places Yeah They're going to have to make some decisions Who to keep who to let go who to bring in and what to do with these top tier injured players Is Aaron Donald coming back Was he talking about over time Yeah It seems like the last we heard he was like if we bring back von Miller and OBJ I'll be back too It's like I totally understand why he would say that But man the ball is in the ram's court where it's what do we do with OBJ When's he going to be ready to return It's going to be weak What Yeah Yeah right So that's something you do maybe a two year deal you overpay him for one year and put a lot of it to sign whatever I mean there's ways to make it happen It's just for those injured Robert Woods will be there of course He'll be back mid season Hopefully Maybe the beginning of the season Which allows them a little more time to wait and spend on OBJ if he were to come back and I'm going to have to be at least a two year deal because you got to one of them is not going to do one year deal for a guy who you won't even be used for one year Look it's a good problem to have how do you retool the roster after just winning a Super Bowl But man they've got some tough decisions to make Yeah it happens It happens And there's no guarantee we saw what happened with Tampa Bay they brought everybody back which is very rare And it didn't lead to another Super Bowl Right So this is why they get paid the big bucks to run these teams because these are the things that now there's going to be a lot of free agents who want to come to LA Yeah That's true Right But there's normally a price tag with that as well And what are you going to do with Matthew Stafford He's going to want some more coins A lot of them We'll take a lot of coins there And think about that too where the draft capital It's like a joke Is that there You got to do it this way because you won't be drafting anybody right Yeah Unless you find some magical force in 5th round draft picks But think about that is who knows what happens with OBJ Robert Woods Andrew Whitworth is most likely going to retire That's a lot of holes to fill A lot of us And there is this thing called a salary cap you know That's the great thing about the draft It's the core of your team and those guys are cheap compared to free agents that are proven veterans you know The good thing is you're at a destination and people want to come play there Maybe they take a hometown discount maybe there's a little bit of that to chase a ring Sure it can work in your favor but man I'm telling you let's need has got his work cut out for him to revamp that roster Not going to be easy And that's a loaded division too Oh you better come correct In that division Yeah 'cause the night is coming for you Yeah And if Russell Wilson is back they're going to be tough but that is not a walk in the park at all So that would be a lot of fun Be very interesting All right a lot to get to here Feel free to hit us up on Twitter at the no show at E from Salaam Coming up next this team I think they're suffering from the reputation of their past Not their present We'll explain I'm Brian though he's from Salaam this is Fox Sports radio.

"The packers side of it. It's a nice convincing win for the packers who now go into their biweek sitting at 9 and three. No one else is even 500 in that division. Whatever they need to get ironed out on the offensive side, they have time to do it. They're going to be getting zider Smith and gyro Alexander back at some point, probably in December. So this was, I don't know if you would really underline anything as great in this game, except they sort of got to disjointed mistake prone opponents and they took advantage. Yeah, and I just still think I still think a part of us is looking at the packers like we look at the chiefs, especially because we saw the capabilities of what the packers could be in that new offense last year. But it's not going to be like that anymore, right? And it's not going to be beautiful every Sunday, but that is sort of the underlying beauty of this system is like they're going to be able to get functional points. They're going to be able to score when they need to score. And it's not going to be a laser light show, but you're going to be able to edge out your opponents. You're going to be able to wear them down a little bit more effectively, and that's what they did on Sunday. It's going to say the biggest issue for Green Bay right now might be the kicking game. It's mason Crosby, poor mason Crosby, missed another one. This one from 42. So he is running away with a league lead in missed kicks at this point. But as far as the rams go, and look, this is probably going to be a storyline we talk about for, I don't know, longer than we want to. But they lose Robert Woods, they gain Odell Beckham junior and it's certainly in the short term that's a minus right there. I mean Robert Woods was so important to what they do, both his value as a guy you can move around the formation, and just as a guy who gets to a spot where the quarterback knows where he is going to be when he delivers the ball, and they're not just quite there with Odell Beckham right now and what you have is just it really is. It's out of sync..

"Matthew stafford probably should have had a slightly better game. You gotta love the yardage. You wish that he had more touchdowns. Obviously one isn't good but we saw the running game come alive and anderson. Michelle had a couple of short yardage scores. That's good to see for them. But i wish that stafford at at one of them i think the big topic is robert woods. And the fact that sean mcvay came through and said that he would give fine more opportunities for robber. Woods in boy. Did he ever. Fourteen targets twelve catches under and fifty and a lot of the things that he was doing in. This game were the same things that he was doing. Previous games those in breaking routes. He's a master he gets open then. Stafford just wasn't looking for so obviously got drilled into staffer to get this guy involved and he did and they were able to move the chains. I think it'll make their offense better. If they continue to use robert woods would be very confident using robert woods. Moving forward him as a sell high candidate. Okay that's good to know. What did you make of the usage for darryl henderson and sony michelle. Some michelle's carries came and henderson less with a bit of an injury or injury. Yeah at the end of the game. It's seventeen carries. Eighty two yards a touchdown for henderson. It's eleven carries thirty seven yards and a touchdown for michelle. They both had one catch. Dave can we rely on daryl henderson for a big role on a weekly basis. He now has a touchdown in three of four games that he's played. Yeah he's he is a top fifteen fantasy running back moving forward. He played sixty six percent of the snaps in a game that he left with an arm injury. Second quarter and they came back in the second half. I just wish he had a little bit more work in the passing game. Adam he had that great catch and run in the first half for seventeen yards. Didn't quite get the twenty one receiving yards and cost me a little chunk of change. But we'll we'll we'll get streak going next week. Here's what mcveigh said about the running backs after the game that this was part of a longer term plan for both of them. That's a good balance. They both a nice job tonight. Each game is kind of its own entity. But i thought tonight they spelled each other in did a great job Adorn rodrigue. Says that this is something you expect. More affordable guys playing. I mean remembered th they. They brought a michelle for reason He said they said he didn't know the playbook Week one week. Three four accent so clearly he picked things up by then and you know. I think you've got to expect that. He's going to get more work for staffer said after the game because they made a point of saying how they weren't finishing drives in the first half that for him..

"You're gonna trade to get one of those guys top tier guy. So don't trade. Quarterbacks plano play it week to week. You hate to do it. You hate that multiple quarterbacks senator team but you don't wanna trade for one at this point so on get that little caveat out there Somebody i was gonna say. I wish we'd do the show yesterday. Robert woods trade for him because his value was real over for this game he just came off for what ten catch twelve catches tall for one. Fifty just came out real good game and you know. He's obviously lost until next week. So but if somebody still undervaluing penalty out he got lucky this week in the cup. Still the guy in la woods for pretty cheap price. I i was I had with his well before. I was move. It'd be recorded show. Yesterday we both would have been on them. i am a robber was owner So definitely still believe in him but it's his obviously..

"Is healthy and end available meaning before. He got hurt in week two so all of week one all of week four before he got hurt in week two which was in the fourth quarter of the indianapolis game darrell henderson has handled all but four of the rams running back opportunities which are which are targets plus carries daryl henderson right now volatile because of the injury history understood. He is a legitimate belco. When he's out there so i understand if you're not like thinking of him the same year the way you think of derrick henry because the health hasn't been there consistently and i understand that that's why the rams traded for sony michelle. But you've got if you have daryl henderson you have got a legitimate league-winning type of type of player if he's able to stay on the field and even manages to come close to the usage that he has right now. That's darrell henderson. And what he's doing and by the way. The sea hawks have been essentially the worst run defense in football this year. They've given up the second most fantasy points to running backs all season. Long when it comes to the wide receivers. You gotta play cooper cup quiet last week. He in stafford couldn't get saint page thirteen targets but only five catches and. Here's the deal with robert woods. Robert woods you might have noticed. Ross scored a touchdown. Garbage time touchdown to save his fantasy day last week against the cardinals he threw a hissy fit on the sidelines. You frustrated and it's not that he's not involved. He is twenty-five targets. Which is the same number as the andre hopkins this season. But he's not on the same page with stafford. Stafford is clearly gravitating towards cup. I think robert woods is used to battling cup not battling but like playing off of cup as the one a one b right now this season cops been kind of the one and woods and van. Jefferson are going toe. To toe is like the to a and to be robertson's doesn't like that sean mcvay comes out and says i've got to do a better job getting the ball and robert woods his hands wonder if it's a squeaky wheel game for robert woods this is why does the best by the way the jalen ramsey playing in the slot nugget the henderson usage nugget. I hope you guys tell other people about this show because joe is the man. How about the jets and the falcons across the pond. Zach wilson starting to heat up a little bit with some of those deep throws. Yeah i thought. Jack wilson played well and i think he's got a good match this week against the falcons which puts you know corey davis in the conversation for a wide receiver. Three not somebody. I think you're going to trust ross This is somebody. You're really excited about the abbey. Corey davis If you're holding live more the last thing you wanted to see what. Jamison crowder did in weeks in week. Four zach wells and gravitated toward had nine targets. Caught seven of them. And one for a touchdown allies more right. Now's simply a bench stash. But it's zach wilson. Wilson starts to improve that elisa more becomes more and more viable in the backfield. The guy you want is michael. Carter rostering anybody. I know it is. It's evan kohlmann. Revenge game but michael carter had thirteen carries a. He's been the lead back three three weeks running. It's just been like pulling teeth trying to get production out of him. So he's only really a fourteen team option Zach wilson not a season long option. Maybe he's the best option. This is what my guy scott barrett fantasy points. He said this is a slop fest. This could be one game between two bad teams that actually ends up scoring fifty fifty five points.

"He's in a different category. That's what i'm saying like. Yes he's almost like a return guy who can also do all these things but at a certain point you have to just evaluate him as a receiver and i gotta tell you guys began evaluating receive. I wouldn't take any receiver before him. Right now yeah. But but he's a different kind hit it. I get it. I understand it. We're redoing draft all over again. The reality of it is. He's not a receiver. He's just an a category. A what is the jack-of-all-trades in the master of none if you call him if he's in a receiver pool right and you get one pick. Is it reasonable to say whatever the other guys can do or can't do. He gives me something just different than anyone else. I gotta take him bensimon. What you like right. so so. who's healthy everybody but we can occur okay. Are we factoring in age. Yeah yeah oh but see. We can't do that or why not okay. So don't factor in age. I don't know. Are we factoring in quarterback right. Let's do this. Let's just say receiver put him in the pool. Yeah and you need one guy in a healthy no matter what. Just forget the age. They're all the same. We're looking at the skill set. Just skills it michael. Thomas or de'andre hopkins. Julio jones or oh oh if julio jones is hell but we played player or brand earlier remember what i just said if i'm talking about at the best at what they do at the height of their careers on but i'm talking about right now. I'm seeing right now saying landscape. Julio jones if it's current landscape right now a probably probably go take tyreek. That's what i'm saying here. That's crazy now. He's never talked about that way. Like this is my. Because i don't know what to do with it but i'm gonna do exactly what andy reid he's but you know what airbnb. Here's what's crazy. They're doing it with them. He's doing it and still somehow when we talk about the best receiver in the game. It's almost like people are reluctant to say you put a number to. Mvp right people are here. Here's what's tyrone hill. Here's what i say a cup. Here's what i say water cup when you look at not me. You look at tie reeks numbers right. He's he's not a hundred and twenty catch guy. So you know how that goes. Yeah if he catches one hundred twenty balls and he has fourteen hundred yards in seventeen touchdown. He's anointed he's annoyed. Yeah but he's going to be seventy catch guy for eleven hundred yards and nine touchdowns and people just like 'cause they're looking at the number numbers. Here's a perfect example for you. In my opinion robert woods agreed. Not because he went to usc on the team overall now yeah because overall as receiver. He belongs in a certain category. Don't give it to him when nobody outside run blocking zone. Scheming ron woods as out goods is really good. Not robert woods from buffalo robber. Would cici's been with the los angeles rams sc underpaid. I don't care what dan with. Nobody say i don't care that you label him as a two three. He's there number one. Well he's you. Put them ahead of the andrew. Robert woods no different us. Talking about rob woods is legit..

For the first day everybody taking a look at matthew stafford in fact all the fans clinton from the north side of the field and the west grandstands have all moved to the south end to the east as both the offense and defense are practicing against each other over. Here it's a good setup. It's a good look families out here enjoying themselves. People are having a good time. Lot of jerseys out here and a lot of just general like i would say excitement to look at other people. I talked about this briefly. Last week i went to the all star game for mlb in denver and half the thing with people forgot that we hadn't done it the year before so just looking at each other with half the fun. I feel like there's a lot of camaraderie out here. That's a big part of what training. Campus all right to marco far the former rams defensive tackle. The current ram sideline analyst on radio is standing by with us right now. What's up my man. How are you wait a second. We have here hold on we. We have demarco on. Hold on one second. We're going to turn on microphone. This is live radio. These things happen. It's all good. mary areas. there is with clinton. I don't know how to interact to do when they reach in for a handshake. I'm going in for for or elbow. Doing you know they come in for a hug. I run. I'm trying to get used to this. Yeah i'm trying to like act like everything's normal like so when i see people i'm like. Hey how're you doing. I put my hand out. I don't really wanna shake your hand. But i'm willing to if you're willing to accept mine but then what i'm finding is people will shake at the hello and elbow at the goodbye. Yeah yeah i see ya. You got more guts than i do. I don't even extend the hand yet. I just wait and see what you're doing. I'm trying to give off the vibe. Like just you know. Say hi and we'll keep pushing. But i'm getting used to it. We're good demogra- let me ask you this coming into this training camp. There's a lot of things that have happened. Obviously in the rams offseason but what to you is. I know it sounds obvious to talk about the quarterback what to you is the most important thing that's happened to this team. And that's that goes from coaches. That goes from rosters and that goes some. You know everything else. Well you're gonna miss some of these coaches we were just you know surround rock in the field thinking about aubrey pleasant. Who's not here and what he meant to this football team so you're going to get better from there but yeah i mean outside of matthew stafford i guess the news is how are you going to get around cam newton. Excuse me what that injury at running back. So how do you reshuffle. That deck is darrel henderson. Ready for primetime. I thought he played like gangbusters when he was available last season. So maybe you don't miss or lose anything. But yeah i mean i think you've upgraded quarterback. That's no knock on. Jared goff i just think matthew stafford is a better thrower of the football than jared. Goff is so as long as you're starting with that guy number nine. I think you're better than half the league already. Some teams are still trying to figure it out. But yeah having that guy at quarterback is is has that calming effect. and then you add jalen ramsey. You watch what he can. Do you watch. Aaron donald. I mean you're talking about the superman of the nfl and they're both on the field at the same time. We're in the same uniform so there's a lot of good things. A lot of positives out there to say android is coming over here right now and you guys are apparently on the website. See their quick that hey that was really really concise. Man impact would act impact appearance all right way to put that together. I mean live radio with your nothing like thoughts in. yeah andrew. Whitworth is one of the most interesting looking characters to me in football. Just because he's so tall and so big and so top heavy and so skinny on the legs but robert woods is coming by mama was something up dude. All right robert woods is is coming by rams wide receiver. Good to see you man how you doing going well that they have found the on demand. It's been a while it has been a while. It's good to see you you. You know. I've been i've been following you and your wife on social media. Do you guys got a nice life going. I got a little bit going on. You know waiting on waiting on our next year after next journey just decided for next all right. I i would like to ask you. You know day one. you know. it's just. It's the early part of training camp. But what's what's going on there. How's it going Feels good you know coming back First dog you know coming in on a bus to see a fans lined up Common ingredients and stuff really great feeling how the fans back. We're really coming out here. Get back with the team. Day one fly around Legs feeling good player spending good really to connect again. Get back with the guys Day one i think is a good start and really something to build on so morale is high. We like to hear that. What were your personal goals in terms of your off season in which you've got coming up in this training camp in terms of what you're gonna do to contribute to this team. I'll say my my biggest goal. And what i worked on this offseason really like finishing plays. I know a lot of like exciting place. Forty yards fifty are plays mom. Biggest goal is off. Season was turning those plays into touch now really breaking them out making guys. You know just really outrunning people. Okay all right man. We're talking robert woods rams wide receiver. Usc product when they ask you. This gift thoughts. Maybe like daydreaming of catching touchdown in so-fi with a packed house. Because you had a couple of touchdowns at the coliseum where you jumped into the stands you rappers all over your party and celebrating with the. I mean if you thought about what it's going to be like in that stadium. Yeah we're actually trying to locate where they're going to be now talking about it. We just that experience of you know that back corner of the endzone. That was our floyd mayweather back there. You know how y g post malone all these guys here at these round game. So we're going to try to pack out so-fi how all these fans here to celebrities here so we doing and put on a show form on the other side of the ball on this team. You guys have a lot of dues. You run around. What's it like to watch those guys play number one defense in terms of what that brings some just a psychological advantage when you're running up on the other side. Yeah exciting you see what they were making the plays. They're making today. See jaylen out there. You see aaron. Donald and i really want to credit roburt today at some big place had an interception how to pass break up but really are young is fine around. My knees. rookies getting a chance to make plays in front of our fans and really just do it consistently you know we. We saw day one. We saw year one. You know how long can you keep this up. All right man. Robert woods is here where we are live at rams training camp. It is the s. l. k. On seven ten. Espn all right. This may be a really dumb question but here goes. Is there a difference in catching a football from one quarterback to another quarterback. That's a good question. Thank you thank you. Thank you very yeah. I'll say of course. Every every different quarterback had their talents and their different attributes. And what makes them good So different quarterbacks have different touch different qualities whether as being more mobile and the pocket being able to throw.

"Play or anywhere you blonde podcasts. Just tied nc in the search bar bound all right and we're back here on the c. Fantasy football podcast for the final segment of today's show. I'm going to reveal the next ten picks in my fantasy mock draft. So let's get right into that so starting off in this list robber woods. I have as the first pick in the fourth round. Now you know. I i think i kind of made a little bit mistake because i have three straight rams players to in the fourth round. I robert woods first. And then after that cooper cop then camakers. I feel like they could go in the third round again. Like there's a lot of good players you know so it was. It was tough but I think you could probably. I could definitely switch a couple of players from the third round and put them here and put that move them up. Because stafford i think increases their fantasy value. But y- i have them. I have these three players in as my first three picks in the third round. So robert woods i think is the most consistent of the to artie resided. Talk about that in the previous segment I think he's a reliable fantasy option. I think he's the number one option on this team. you know. he's very consistent. And i i just feel like he's definitely a guy you want to have on your team. I think with matthew stafford. He's gonna put a monster numbers this season and he's going east. He's a c. fantasy. That's the other thing too. What these guys. Both him and cooper. I mean again. Robert woods is more option. Both of these guys are safe. Fantasy picks you know. You really can't go wrong with drafting these guys now. With matthew stafford it elevates their fantasy stock and their numbers are going to be really good this year now with matthew stafford coming into the fold and being their quarterback so yet robert woods air. I then cooper cop. Like i said with robin woods and like i said wolf them. They're both safe picks Cooper cop i feel like is the less of the two guys just because of the consistency. I mean cooper cop is still really good. i just feel like proper. Woods is the more consistent option. But he cooper copper still really good definitely a solid number two wide receiver on your fantasy team and a guy you wanna have because again with matthew stafford. He's going to put up huge numbers this year. I feel like and you can't go wrong with drafting i'm i. I do think he's going to have a really good season with the rams. Obviously he did deal with that. Acl that acl tear back in two thousand eighteen. That made him. Mr remainder of that season came back in two thousand nineteen was pretty good. Last year was also pretty good as well Obviously the rams they did struggle in twenty nineteen a little bit because you know for whatever reason The wheels kind of fell off the super bowl hangover really affected them. But yeah they they really needed. Cooper cop You know. I think back in two thousand eighteen. The rams really did miss cooper cup in that super bowl but yeah he's again a safe pick solid number two wide receiver for your team. You can't go wrong with drafting him. He would be the next pick. Then after that. I have camakers feel they can makers going to have a really big year kind of talked about in the last segment.

"Right now, we're looking at those questions with former CDC director now Robert Wood Johnson Foundation president and CEO, Dr Richard Besser. Good morning. What an honor. Good morning. It's great to be here before we get into the campaign. We knew at some point the vaccination rates would slow down. But it's only what mid May does it concern you that such a large number of people still have yet to be vaccinated. Well, it concerns me that there's a lot of people who are still making their decisions. But I I expected to slow down there was for super many months. The issue was that there were so many people who want to be vaccinated and it was going to take awhile for the supply to catch up with that demand. Thankfully, that that's happened so that anyone who wants to get vaccinated should be able to find a place not far from where they live to get vaccinated at the time that works for them. Is a troubling doctor. And you, of course, headed the CDC at one time. It's a troubling for you to see in some cases. What is misinformation, whether intentional or otherwise, that is out there sometimes about vaccines, in particular about covert that people think it's been rushed. It's not been vetted. It's got whatever conspiracy theory you throw on top of it is that is that been problematic in the process as well. Well, you know, I think it's really important that people identified sources of trusted information to get their questions answered you. Misinformation is one thing where people you have questions and they're not. They haven't gone to the right type of find the correct information. What concerns me more is it's frank disinformation. Where where people are deliberately spreading information. That's wrong. Tol end confusion and that's a much, much more challenging issue. Tioga rest. I encourage, uh I'm a pediatrician. I encourage all parents to talk to their child. Doctor or nurse. Whoever provides health care to get their questions answered that they're thinking about whether to get their 12 year old or 14 vaccinate against Cove. It One of the statements that's false has to do with the Fizer and Madonna vaccine specifically changing your DNA's A and that especially concerns parents who may want to get those kids. The Pfizer vaccine. What do you say to those parents? Yeah. I mean, that's that, I think is one of those instances of disinformation. There's absolutely no truth to that. Um, these vaccines are not only incredibly safe But what they're showing as they've been given T o hundreds of millions of arms is that these are some of the most effective vaccines that we have her for any infectious agents. I think it Z almost miraculous that this soon after identifying a new virus, a new infectious agent we have in the United States three vaccines that the FDA is authorized. For use. I did not predict that I thought it would be several years before we There were vaccines on Dwyer, seeing the impact of that, as every state across the country is seeing declines in the number of cases whenever possible is a shins and death. I worry a little bit, though about complacency, and and as I look across the world and see the devastating impact in so many countries, I recognize that we are still at risk. From transmission anywhere that's taking place around the globe because very inter mutations could occur that make our vaccine much less effective. Besides your CDC credentials. The fact that you are the pediatrician gives you extra heft. When it comes to vaccinating Children. We keep hearing the term herd immunity. Obviously, you hear and have talked about it is well, how key is a doctor to for us to reach her community by getting these younger people the 12 and up the Tweens and teens vaccinated? Yeah. I mean, the concept of herd immunity means another people are vaccinated or had disease in there in the community so that if someone who's infected comes in, they're not gonna bump into people who are susceptible. They're not gonna bump into people who haven't either had the disease or vaccinated. I'm talk. I talk much less about her immunity right now in the reason for that is I don't think we're going to get there. The thing about herd immunity is that you have to see high levels of coverage across every community and People tend to live with whipping around those who have similar opinions. And so it's very likely that they'll be communities where vaccine coverage rates are 80 90%. And that their communities where that 50% and 50% there's the opportunity for this virus to describe what I like to say that every single person who gets vaccinated Not on. Lee gets protection themselves against disease, but they help to protect their family, their friends and their community. And so instead of focusing on while we get to 70% I would say Let's focus on each individual and each individual is truly come contributing tol protecting the community here here, former CDC director now Robert Wood Johnson Foundation president, CEO, Dr Richard Besser, Thank you so much for the time this morning. It's my pleasure. Take care you as well. We've got the newscast ahead. The driver.

CDC recommends double masks to protect against COVID-19
"New cdc report showing that tightly fitted masks. Make a difference and that a tightly fitted with a cloth mask over it. Double masking as it's called is also effective. A new study from the cdc suggested that double masking putting a second mask on you. That fits really tightly actually can protect you from covid better than a single mask. Let's get some info on this. We got someone who ran the cdc at one point. Dr richard besser was the former acting director there. He now leads. The robert wood johnson foundation. Dr beshir can we start with the practical stuff. What is the current recommendation at this point when it comes to wearing masks like how many do we need. What type do we need right. Well brad at the highest level. The recommendation is that everybody should be wearing masks. Glad that we have a reasonable thinking governor who has lifted the mandate. I don't wear a mask unless i am made to. I see so many people. Today who aren't wearing any mask and even wearing a single mask will reduce the likelihood that if you have cohen you'll spread to someone else and will reduce the chances that if someone near you has cova that you will breathing in and get infected date ever used from cdc today underscore the importance the importance of wearing a mask correctly and the cdc's said in their study and this and this was published in the wr which is their journal of record is is that wearing cloth mask on top of a surgical mask or or the procedure massive. They're the same thing will improve the fit. And that's what this is about when when you put a mask on. There are gaps around the side of that masks. There may be gaps around around your nose but if you wear a surgical mask that has a wire at the top and you pinch it on your nose and you put a cloth mask on top of that. It will ensure that there aren't the the leakages sides of that surgical. The surgical does a lot of the work. And then the cloth is there to prosecute against your mouth exactly because if you just put on a surgical mask with with doing anything else. What you're going to find is that it doesn't fit tightly on the sides there big gaps there but that cloth mask fits properly over over. Your ears will will hold that surgical mask in in place and in their studies found that this reduced the amount of particles by by over ninety percent well fitting mast provided the greatest performance Blocking emitted aerosols and exposure of aerosols to the receiver. They cautioned though that. Don't take those numbers and say and assume they're going to try to you because they tested one type of cloth mask and one type of surgical mask but the general principle is a good one. That wearing a cloth mask over surgical mask will help. They give some other alternatives as well. This includes wearing a mask with the most mold. Fire nodding the ear loops on your mass. You cannot decides of a surgical mask and if you go to their website they'll show you what they mean by that so that it will fit better on the sides of your face or you can you can purchase. What's called a mask fitter which is like a plastic or nylon device. That goes over your mask that that helps it fit on. your face. looks the neck gaiter. That were always saying. They're not great mask but this looks like a neck gaiter. It's good for that yes some of our navigators and some are like a plastic frame that holds it on your face but the takeaway from it is is really this that wearing a mask as good but making sure it fits properly is is really important and will increase the benefits that you get well so okay so i understand that scientific conclusions change with more data right. I get that but just so we're clear like can we walk this back early on. Cdc was saying hey. We have no reason to recommend mask. We haven't seen any in july of last year. Data does come in. They they change it to what we do recommend mask. It's really there to protect other. People won't necessarily protect you. Then november comes around like actually does protect you. We started to see that data and now a full year after covid reaches american shores. Say oh actually. I just want us to masks are actually really good. Like is that counterproductive at one point when when we feel like the guidance shifts month after month well you know one of the advantages. We have now that we didn't have last year is that we're having cd scientists out front explaining what they're learning. How someone who are tired of hearing about masks as well as tired about of wearing masks can be cumbersome they can be inconvenient mass growing is not to make your life mess comfortable and we're seeing our political leaders stand up and say the exact same thing next few months masks not vaccines are the best defense against cove nineteen and hopefully that will allow people to take this in and say you know. I've been hearing a lot about these. These strains of the virus these mutants that can spread more easily. There's actually something i can do until you get vaccinated. Hopefully that will help people you know not feel like no one knows what they're doing but i feel like people providing answers as this is changing and that is a good thing. We can adapt ever ever so slightly if we need to.

All Things Considered
How Do You Distribute A Vaccine To Suspicious Citizens?
"Corona virus vaccine to millions of Americans who may be suspicious of authority or on the fringes of society. Especially when those people are among those most at risk of covert 19. Dr. Julie Morita has been thinking and writing about these problems for months as Chicago's former health commissioner, and now she'll have an opportunity to shape these policies on a national level as part of President elect Biden's covert response, team Doctor Marina Welcome to all things considered. Thanks for having me, Ari. Well, let's start with this question of how you build confidence in a vaccine when there is so much suspicion and disinformation circulating. What do you think needs to be done right now, even before vaccine is widely available to the public. I think it's really important for people to have ah, sense of what's happening and what's been done so far so very clear and concise and consistent messaging about the vaccine development process. Venture manufacturing process. The approval process is So that people have a sense that we're not doing this blindly that The vaccine development that's happened with the co of vaccine has been fast, but it's built on decades and decades of experience in making vaccines and distributing vaccines as well. When you're Chicago's chief medical officer, you were involved in distribution of the H one n one vaccine around the city. What did that experience teach you about how to address hesitation, especially And marginalized communities. And are there lessons there that you think the incoming by the administration can apply nationally? I think we learned a lot of lessons through the H one n one pandemic in 2009. We were working frantically to get vaccine providers lined up to actually make the vaccine available, and we also hosted vaccine clinics and communities that are typically underserved. The weather physician accesses a little bit more challenging. And what we found was that these mass immunization clinics that we hosted in some of our communities of color. The turnout for the vaccines was lower. And so at that point we started reaching out to community organizations, Faith based organizations to have them help us understand what was going on in the community. Why weren't they turning out for the vaccine? Why weren't they getting vaccinated? It would have helped US organizations that are already in touch with members of that community. Right. So we were we had organization that we were already partnering with. We reached out to them and ask them to engage with us again, and it worked to some extent, but without we didn't get the success that we were hoping for, and so building on that experience in non pandemic times, the Health Department and our partners worked established relationships on ongoing time. Between pandemic so that we would actually have these relationships and could really rely on the information from those community groups to inform our planning for future pandemics. The current health department is actually tapping into in relying on those relationships now to really help to get the information to the communities and understand what their questions and their concerns are. Interesting, But let me ask. There are real questions about vaccine safety. I mean yesterday, the CDC Immunization Advisory Committee recommended to give the first round of vaccines to health care workers and residents of long term care facilities. But there has not been a lot of research into the effectiveness of the vaccine and the safety of the vaccine in the nursing home population. How can experts be sure that it is safe for them? So the information is being evaluated, but it will be evaluated by FDA to look at the safety and efficacy to understand who the study populations included. Information that I've seen so far suggested the vaccines how are safe and effective in a wide range of age groups, a wide range of races and ethnicity and someone that information's fully evaluated by the FDA is advisory committee. Next week. We'll have additional information to really inform the recommendations with CDC or the C I. P did yesterday was really make recommendations in anticipation of these results. But they can be refined based on what the FDA and their advisory committee actually determined. Now the CDC is reputation has taken a hit during this pandemic. Guidance on testing and school re openings has sometimes been influenced by political pressure. So how do you think a new administration can restore confidence in the agency? So I think one of these like when I think about the vaccines situation currently, the key thing to keep in mind is that the E C. I P is not. It's the independent group of physicians, scientists, public health officials who come together and really review the data River to review the facts, review The evidence and the makeup, eventually Advisory Committee that's the advisory committee and they make recommendations to CDC. And then CDC that makes recommendations and buy a large those recommendations of the pipe makes the CDC usually fit makes us well. And so we'd be looking for after the recommendations are made by a CFP. What a CDC actually say is their alignment. Is there agreement with what A C I P s saying as well. Now, as you know, distribution of the vaccine is going to be handled by the states. And a couple weeks ago, I spoke with the head of Maine's Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr Nirav Shah, and he told me his state does not have enough money to build the infrastructure required to make sure everybody who needs it gets the vaccine. Here's what he said. We at the state level are ready to receive the baton to have that baton pass to us to begin the vaccination process, but without proper funding. It'll be like putting up a tent poles without having the tent. And he said, This is true of many other states, too. So Dr Marie to do you think the federal government is ready to provide the money that is going to be necessary? I think it's important to provide the adequate resources to public health What I've seen in the past in public health emergencies during my 10 20 years, the Chicago Department of Public Health Was that there would be large Pulis's of funding that would come to public health agencies of the state and local level during a crisis and then shortly after the crisis, But then the funding would actually go away. And so public health infrastructure really has suffered over time, and there is a need There's a strong immunization system that's in place, but it has to be enhanced that it has to be strengthened so that actually, people can actually get the vaccine in an equitable fashion. That's Dr Julie Morita. She is executive vice president of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which is a thunder of NPR. Today. She was speaking with us in her personal capacity as a volunteer for the Biden transition Teams. Coben 19 Advisory board. Dr Morita. Thanks for your time. Thank you. President

NPR Poll: Black, Latino Households Struggle To Pay Rent, Mortgages
"Some new data from an NPR poll suggests just how badly Americans are suffering economically during the pandemic. Here's NPR's Chris Arnold Gina Lost Her job as a school bus driver in Chicago during the pandemic she was managing. Okay with unemployment money. But then about two weeks ago, she got a desperate call from her adult son his job had laid him off. He wasn't able to pay rate. There was an eviction moratorium in Chicago, but Jean says the landlord wanted her son out anyway a warning what happened next is disturbing and violent. She says the landlord got someone to threaten her son and shoot his dog a German shepherd mix that he'd had for years Economi. His mom they kill my dog. And the GATT told me that he should kill me to. MSA. Said market you come over here. I went over there. I said, okay star packing you gather go. and. Never went back. Gene only wants to use her first name for fear retribution. She says, she was afraid to report what happened to the police, her son and his two kids if now moved in with her. Gene was one of more than three thousand people who took part in a poll from NPR the Robert Wood, Johnson? Foundation. And the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health. Her. Story is a sad and dramatic example. But the poll found many people reported problems with housing healthcare, unsafe workplaces, and a very high percentage of Americans. Forty six percent said they're having serious financial problems are surprises how large the? Numbers are Robert Blend in is a Harvard public health professor. He says, the poll was done in July after Congress approved an extra six hundred dollars a week in federal and apply benefits, and that was still supposed to be flowing to people and yet. So many people said, they were struggling one in six households even reported missing or delaying major bills just so that they could buy food blending says it's. Like the government sent a hundred FEMA trucks into a disaster zone but a lot of people never saw them or got any help it just like interviewing people in a hurricane area and the people are telling you, there's no relief it should be there could be some people are having trouble accessing the HAL blend says the government should quickly try to discover where the biggest problems are and there could be. Another factor. My name is Linda Neuron who and I was an accounting manager dorato lives in Phoenix Arizona and lost her accounting job at a tow truck company in the pandemic. Once that stay home order was issued if our driving, they're not getting a car accidents if they're not getting in car accidents, we don't have much of a business Dorato said in the poll that she was having serious financial problems when. She was getting that extra six hundred dollars a week and so she was doing. Okay. But she knew that that was about to expire and that she wasn't going to be able to support her four kids on the state benefits alone which for her just two hundred, forty dollars a week in Arizona and she was right. She's now burned through almost all of her savings and she won't able to pay reds after next month it's extremely difficult. To sleep at night I wake up at two or three in the morning and I just have my mind's just racing just constantly racing, and then I'm having to get up in the morning and sit with my two younger children but I'm so focused on you know bills and money and jobs Dorato who's Latina says she's been looking for work with no luck. She says she has no family she can go live with or borrow money from. And Black and Latino households were two times more likely than white families to say that they've fallen behind on their rent or mortgage. It is striking. It's not surprising. David Williams is a Harvard professor who studies race and sociology. He says blacks and Latinos make money than whites and have less savings. So they're more vulnerable Andy says they're less likely to have family members who can afford to loan the money for. Rent or other bills for every dollar of wealth white households have African American households have ten pennies and Latino households have twelfth pennies. So it's really not surprising that they are really been hurt badly in the context of the pandemic
Mentally Yours
Drug Addiction In America
"Woken to Mentally Yours Metro could ikaes weekly podcast about all things mental health. Today we're talking to Dave. Marlon, he was the CEO of crossroads of Southern Nevada, which was the largest addiction and Rehab Center in the area, the psychotherapist drug and alcohol counselor, and he basically knows everything about addiction and mental health issues in the US and beyond. Making me talking tim today about how the pandemic has been affected addiction issues to get help if you're struggling and how to recognize if you might have a problem with drugs or alcohol. Bruce Dave. Thanks so much for joining us on mental yours and welcome from across the pond. My first question was basically because obviously as I mentioned, we're in London. You're in the US, it such different situation in terms of addiction, mental health, and obviously the pandemic to get started. Could you give kind of a brief overview of the reality of addiction in the US? How serious the problem is that how widespread is a? The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation calls addiction the number one health problem in the US. If we look at the the number of prescription opiates that are consumed in the entire world The United States consumes more than eighty percent of them. We. have. You know we've always had an alcohol problem for a percentage of our population. we we developed enough and phetamine mean and a cocaine problem over the last. Twenty years, and in the last five, six years Oh actually even a little longer. An opiate problem has has become. Our most serious addiction challenge. Kind of the most common addiction issue that you see people coming into your center with. It it's interesting. I've run Iran the largest treatment center in Las. Vegas of. Gene. Years. And now as a private center and they're absolutely opiates or over my last three, four years, they're opiates was the number one drug of choice that clients had presented to solutions recovery without the opiate use disorder their primary. Primary substance. Now I work at an indigent facility in in downtown. Las Vegas where. More than half of our clients are homeless. And what's interesting is with this demographic, there's a much higher methamphetamine use. Would say my number one. Substance of for clients is nothin vitamin with opiates and alcohol running for a close second place. That's really interesting I. Think What was interesting that you said kind of opiates have been coming up over the lost six years because for me, it's felt like the coverage has been really recent like only in the last couple of years, we taught it to the opioid crisis this being a sudden kind of unexpected issue but you're saying it's been building for a long time. It has. Interestingly, fourteen years ago I was running the largest health insurance company in the state. And I remember in my last. My last year or two I remember looking at pharmacy reports and we were all scratching our heads saying what is this Oxycontin and why did it not show up two years ago and now I remember when across the ten million dollar mark at the Insurance Company for monthly use so it really begins began spiking. Thirteen fourteen years ago. It became. Newsworthy in fashionable. Six seven years ago, and now we're a were still squarely in an opiate epidemic.

Economic Pain From Pandemic Is Much Worse Than Expected, Poll Finds
"A new survey measures the financial pain as the pandemic goes on. Almost half of American households have suffered serious financial losses were told in a new poll, by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Harvard t H. Chan School of Public Health in the country's four largest cities. The situation is even worse especially for Latinos and black-americans fifty to eighty percent of those. Households report serious financial problems. They can't pay their rent or their mortgage or their credit cards, and they've depleted what savings they have had. NPR's Yuki. Noguchi reports on the findings. The pandemic is creating serious financial problems, job loss depleted savings or possible eviction. That's despite hundreds of billions in government stimulus and other support. The survey shows economic stress running higher in the. country's four largest cities, New York, Los Angeles Chicago and Houston. Latino and black families were substantially more likely to face serious economic distress compared to white counterparts. Robert Blend in is a professor of health policy and political analysis at Harvard and Co author of the survey. He says the results show the personal financial challenges run deeper and broader than previously understood. I would've. Expected that all the aid that was coming from various sources would have narrowed not eliminated the differences by race ethnicity the survey conducted. This summer also found distress among households making less than a hundred thousand dollars a year. It's a just a lack of funds creating knock on effects trouble paying for food or medical care, which in turn lead to serious health consequences. The surveys implications could mean everything from a bigger drag on the economy to the nation's mental health outlook and blending says, the prognosis is grim at the time of the survey. The federal government was offering six hundred dollars a week in additional benefits for the unemployed. That was not renewed after July it's going to get worse because there is nothing for the people we serve eight who earn thousand. Dollars a year already communities are not working fulltime to fall back

Many states continue to face record highs in coronavirus cases
"It was five months ago on January nineteenth the first case of covert nineteen was detected in the United States today the country has more than two million confirmed infections including record daily increases in some states Dr Richard Besser who used to run the centers for disease control and now leads the Robert wood Johnson foundation is here so where do we stand on this yeah you know I I think that we are in in a situation where many people are tired of hearing about the pandemic you're tired of having their lives disrupted by the pandemic and unfortunately we have something in the political there who are reinforcing that sense that this is over but you're here and it's it's really early days in this in this pandemic and your last week follow that road map that's being laid out by public health in terms of how you gradually get people hello in working and interacting socially it in safe ways if we don't follow that road map we're going to see places that are once again seeing their healthcare systems are well slides disrupted and people losing their lives bicycles been saved had people follow the guidance of public health is it the people in states with the pandemic did not initially hit as hard as it did say in New York or New Jersey not internalize the messaging or was the messaging flawed I I think there's a lot comes down to messaging and and the challenge that you faced during a public health crisis when the primary communicator is not the public health community one of the challenges I see with the the way the response was was orchestrated this pandemic was the entire nation was shut down and at the same time and so places that we're not seeing any disease were were were treated the same as places where the health care system is overwhelmed and that's never the approach public health give me the case these kinds of decisions and communicating them should be up to the centers for disease control and in this pandemic that has not been the case you know when when I when I ran emergency preparedness and response at CDC and and let the agency at the start of the swine flu pandemic the most important tool that that we had was our power to communicate and informs public a public that trusts the messenger is critical to success and when you when you have the political there in the public health layer I had aunts and the message being that public health is is a barrier to the economy coming back then then you're in a really dangerous situation because you then see some people following the advice for political reasons and some people not following your and these are not political choices the idea that people will practice different behaviors based on on politics is a dangerous situation you want the country unified Dr Richard Besser at the Robert wood Johnson foundation such unanimity that he references has not prevailed in states like Arizona and Florida which today reported record high numbers of single day cases parts of Texas have also reported their largest one day increases that includes bear county in the city of San Antonio where Ron Nirenberg is the mayor Mister mayor thanks for joining us let me clarify because we've had in three successive days three of our largest increases each day so the cases are increasing which we knew would happen once we are common and businesses and services started opening up further governors and we wanted to make sure we didn't see a corresponding increase in hospitals the severity in cages that's the alarming trend in addition to how fast the cases of accelerated people of let their guard down and I think that what I've said before about the pace at which the economy is opening Texas doesn't allow us the benefit of data to be affected incisions are being met are you worried then that San Antonio and similarly situated cities in Texas are behind the curve you know what I I remain focused on is ensuring that we have the route the the proper measures in place of time we're making the decisions open up out when the state took control of the opening plan we essential you essentially yielded our ability to stay in front of the Kerr because again they're opening faster than the data shows the actor efficacy of each decision so in that sense we are behind the curve in terms of the decision making process but what I will say is that the local communities the urban communities of practice I've been a very very aggressive and proactive the difficulty in our situation knows the state prevents us from mandating some of the best practices that includes wearing masks the governor prohibited cities from mandating masks but you've made a different decision how to arrive at it you know we had been courting again our orders protocols for businesses to follow when the Attorney General sent him a letter a couple of weeks ago and basically re interpreted the state's order that said we weren't allowed to do that anymore we had to adjust course but we've been recommending these thanks for a while now but what what we did our best we was rather than mandate our maps for individuals we use the the path that we had through the business protocols to mandate businesses import mask wearing as part of their safety
KNBR Tonight with Drew Hoffar & Kevin Frandsen
NFC West: Who will unseat the 49ers?
"So glad to be joined by Candace Silva of the rams wire as we go around the NFC west try to figure out who's going to unseat the forty Niners if they can be unseeded at the top of the division cam covers the the rams the rams who apparently are the hot bat right now to win the Superbowl at thirty to one what the hell's going on their camp yeah apparently they were the most popular Super Bowl bet of the last I think there's some were the bachelor come in anywhere on the rams won the Superbowl which is surprising because they've done nothing in the past okay two months to really bolster their claim as a Super Bowl contender in it's been a rough offseason for them so they got a bounce back in to see them as a Super Bowl favorite or not people will favor but to see so many people jumping on the bandwagon for them to win the Superbowl surprising I mean obviously they were just in the Super Bowl now might about a decade ago by our current time frame standards but it was two seasons ago and they still have the same quarterback they still have the same head coach where has it gone wrong we know what happened last year it in fact but if if people are buying in why would you say don't hi this is biggest issue right now I was really surprised that they essentially ignored the the office of identity try to remake it or bring in much talent really on the opposite line this offseason they refinance or what works best it brought back Austin blight who could play guard and center I'm so really they're sticking with the same group that they had last year there's a lot of competition really the only position that sat on the opposite wanted at left tackle with what danger what work right but the other four spots where they're gonna be competitions with Bobby Evans and rob Stein at right tackle Austin Blake and Bryan Alexander in the guard position is kind of just a mishmash of players who are relatively unproven at the NFL level so I would say that's the biggest issue switching Todd Gurley out for can makers they hope is going to be an upgrade at least hopefully in the in the explosiveness department because we do the regular Todd Gurley last season and he kind of seems like he's past his prime with the old me injury in right usage so they hope that with the improved often combined with these guys developing the younger guys and then a a better run game they're going to hopefully get back to their roots from the twenty seventeen twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen season that also supplying plan doesn't seem like a very good one considering that they're in a division with the forty Niners who I don't think I'm being a Homer here by saying that they have a pretty darn good defense of line like that that might not be a good match up for them yeah that's one of the best defensive line principality and you're gonna have it you're gonna have such a us a big mismatch every time that these teams square off because the defense of life for forty third San Francisco so good you got Nick Bosa all the guys on the interior Erik Armstead so there's gonna be tough match ups all across the front when these teams square off twice a year and you're not gonna want to right now in blocking these guys or Bobby Evans are often blight it's it's gonna be a tough match up for all these guys what's M. brings us to the cornerback what what went down with Jared Goff I mean I don't know what it was it all just smoke and mirrors in that Super Bowl season was he figured out I mean there there's been plenty of arguments I've seen a lot of smart people say listen as soon as Matt Patricia showed how to basically not bite on the play action it was game over for the rams they still made the Super Bowl but last year was not great is there any realistic expectation around the rams that they can make it jump now with you know maybe acres and there is the full time running back yeah I I wouldn't say your golf was just smoke and mirrors in twenty eighteen I thought he was a legitimate MVP candidates for most that season and then they kind of have that by the crazy Monday Night Football game against the chiefs and ever since then he's just more grass than not been the same player it was it was he was really terrible on play action last season which was a surprise but again that goes back to the office of line you just didn't have time to to get to a second read he didn't have time to to turn his back to the defense on these armies clashing passes so that a big impact but he's a player who I know they gave them a hundred thirty four million dollars but at this point in his career he doesn't seem like someone who's going to really master the issues of the rest of the offense it's not can overcome terrible off in one place so for him in the rams to really bounce back it's going to take an improvement on the offensive line golf getting back to how he was playing in twenty eighteen and then that running game coming alive and that seems like a lot of that on because it's it's everything coming together as a cohesive unit but I mean with the talent that they do have they still look really good receivers with concocting Robert wood acres and Henderson at running back our promising and golf if he if he lives up to his contracting really pleased the way the FHS quarterback showed the ram should bounce back nicely I like Henderson he came out of Memphis right yep yep he he really was under utilized last year yeah they were kind of well I wouldn't say stubborn sticking with elderly but he just didn't get many opportunities but when he did when he did get some chances he showed his show computer production yeah if you could once against the forty Niners last season to worry bounced off a few tackles and I mean he he's a smaller guy he runs hard and he he he also I'm interested to see how they utilize them with Cammy Kerr's

They just affect people who are middle and lower income and this could leave lower and middle income individuals more vulnerable to disease and other health problems for Sally Rideau see one example is her EPI pen. She's allergic to bees and needs the EPI pen to inject life saving medication in case she gets stung and the last time I was stung. The doctor said each time you get stung can be very serious and it can result in death so he's always carry the EPI pen and in my case. I do a lot of gardening and I'm by myself so just felt safe to have my Epi pen with me just in case but this time when she went to the pharmacy to get the pen prescribed by her doctor she was told her insurance wouldn't cover the cost. It was close to six hundred dollars and I said well how about the generic could I get generic and she said well. That's three ninety eight and I said you're kidding. She said no I said okay then. Just forget it so today when we're dosing gardens. She wears as long sleeves and long pants to try to protect yourself against B.'s. The situation she says it's upsetting. I have three insurances. I'm always pay a lot of copays as I pay a lot for my drugs. It's very frustrating. I think when you have insurance I think you should be able to get the drug. You need one unexpected. Finding from our poll on income inequality is that even people who can afford to cover the cost of their medication. Sometimes don't this is one of the first polls to survey the top one percent percent people earning over five hundred thousand dollars a year and eighteen percent of them chose not to fill prescriptions. When insurance wouldn't cover it? Tina Smith is one of them. She runs a technology consulting firm in Minneapolis last year when her doctor prescribed a medication to treat the skin condition rose Patia. She got a shock.

When Insurance Won't Cover Drugs, Americans Make 'Tough Choices' About Their Health
"What happens when insurance companies deny coverage for medications? It doesn't just force people to pay for drugs themselves. A survey finds that for almost half of Americans went. When Insurance Denies Payment? They do not get the drugs at all. The poll comes from NPR. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Public Health. NPR's Patty name reports Sahlin. REDUC- is seventy eight on a fixed income. She has severe acid reflux. I have to eat very small all meals and when I eat sometimes it feels like everything's stuck in my chest and I get really bad pain. And I have to throw up reduces retired on medicare she also pays for supplemental insurance policy to cover the cost of drugs but it will only pay for the generic version of her heartburn medication. Her her doctor prescribed the brand name. She says the generic version just doesn't work for her. No it's not as effective now. Definitely not she can't afford the brand name so now she has extremely painful episodes of acid reflux about three times a month. Our poll shows that like Ridolfi. The vast majority pretty of Americans have health insurance that includes prescription drug coverage but one in three say that in the past year insurance. Didn't cover the cost of medication and for themselves or their household members Robert Blend in with the Harvard Chan School directed our poll. So what you see is insurers are not paying for some drugs that physicians are recommending. The patients think they need when that happened. Most of the highest earners paid for the medication themselves but Glendon says is that was not the case for everyone else. A half of the people who are middle class or or moderate income are not getting him because they can't afford to go out and pay for it themselves batum line. He says it's just not fair. This idea that if we save money we all have to make tough choices together. The tough choices really don't affects the most wealthy people in the United States. They just affect people who are middle and lower income and this could leave lower and middle income individuals more vulnerable to disease and other health problems for Sally Rideau see one example is her EPI pen. She's allergic to bees and needs the EPI pen to inject life saving medication in case she gets stung and the last time I was stung. The doctor said each time you get stung can be very serious and it can result in death so he's always carry the EPI pen and in my case. I do a lot of gardening and I'm by myself so just felt safe to have my Epi pen with me just in case but this time when she went to the pharmacy to get the pen prescribed by her doctor she was told her insurance wouldn't cover the cost. It was close to six hundred dollars and I said well how about the generic could I get generic and she said well. That's three ninety eight and I said you're kidding. She said no I said okay then. Just forget it so today when we're dosing gardens. She wears as long sleeves and long pants to try to protect yourself against B.'s. The situation she says it's upsetting. I have three insurances. I'm always pay a lot of copays as I pay a lot for my drugs. It's very frustrating. I think when you have insurance I think you should be able to get the drug. You need one unexpected. Finding from our poll on income inequality is that even people who can afford to cover the cost of their medication. Sometimes don't this is one of the first polls to survey the top one percent percent people earning over five hundred thousand dollars a year and eighteen percent of them chose not to fill prescriptions. When insurance wouldn't cover it? Tina Smith is one of them. She runs a technology consulting firm in Minneapolis last year when her doctor prescribed a medication to treat the skin condition rose Patia. She got a shock. When I went to fill the prescription the cost for the prescription was over six hundred dollars? She says for the past seven years. The medication costs about twenty dollars. So this was a huge increase and Smith decided not to get it because I felt that it was fiscally irresponsible and I have no interest in funding big pharma anymore than I absolutely have to. I feel big farmers than rob in the American people for years and they continued to increase. The cost of prescriptions drug. Drug prices have been escalating.

Poll: Many Rural Americans Struggle With Financial Insecurity, Access To Health Care
"Support for this podcast and the following message come from the university of Maryland where the founders of Google Oculus and squarespace got their started. Find out how you MD can start up your next adventure at you and you MD dot com. That's why. Oh, you and you MD dot com. The economy may be strong but many Americans finances are not. That's especially true in many rural areas in Opole of role. Americans by NPR last fall. Fifty five percent of those surveyed said their local economy was only poor or fair. A follow up poll by NPR the Robert Wood Johnson foundation and the Harvard ta Chan school of public health digs deeper. It finds four out of ten rural Americans struggle with routine bills for housing food and medical care, half of rural Americans say they could not afford it. If they got hit with a surprise one thousand dollar expense. NPR's petty name, and has more. Our new poll was telephone survey of just over fourteen. Nine hundred adults living in rural areas across the country areas like Weitzberg nestled in the mountains of eastern, Kentucky coalfields seventy two year old lethal dollar hide a retired caregiver lives nearby go out of town like you're going toward hazard. And there's a turn off there on nine thirty one south. It's within about four miles of where I was born. So I asked dollar hide the question we asked in our poll, could you afford an unexpected thousand dollar Bill? No, no. There's no way not even a two hundred dollar extra Bill. What about savings, my savings account zero I don't even have a savings account dollar hide worked all her life. But the jobs just didn't pay enough for her to put anything aside. She raised for children today, her income social security and supplemental. Security income adds up to seven hundred ninety dollars a month with that income. You watch every penny even so dollar high. Just couldn't afford to make it on her own. She recently moved into a two bedroom trailer with her daughter, even with the extra money from her daughter. It's still hard. They have no car and the cost of electricity is barely affordable. It was three hundred sixty something and the two hundred dollars rent, there's nothing left. So no movies. No dinners out. The only luxury is cable TV, but dollar Hyde says, she's one of the lucky ones she has Medicare and estate health plan that covers her health costs. That's not the case for many of those in our poll, Harvard professor Robert plantain, one in four reported that they could not get healthcare recently when they needed it, and majority said, it's either, because they couldn't afford it or they had insurance that would not be taken by local health providers a serious. National concern says blend and even with major improvements and health insurance coverage over the last decade, these. Problems are more severe for African American communities and native Americans as well as Latinos, and the future of healthcare, and rural America looks even more grim says Brock sleigh back with the national rural Health Association, one hundred six rural hospitals have closed of the past decade, which he says, can make timely medical care nearly impossible, take the town of China PA in Nevada. It's how spittle closed a few years ago this left the service to deal with all kinds of medical problems that are not situated to do. And so when they get on the road to the next nearest hospital as a three hour trip, one way, the hospital is more than a hundred miles away. We know that distance can be a barrier to timely and appropriate access to services. And so in that context delayed care can often lead to tragic consequences, especially in rural areas where people may not have a car. And public transportation may be unreliable. Bottom line says, sleigh Bach wealth equals health report, and were sicker, d Davis is president of the center for rural strategies in Weitzberg people in this congressional district have the shortest lifespan in the United States. We also are the poorest, but one of our big findings was that rural Americans are also optimistic about their communities, d Davis, people may be living more of a hard scrabble existence than folks in the suburbs, or a lot of the folks in the cities. But then mean they're not leaving decent life. And most people are pretty happy with it. And they've got friends and neighbors that they rely on their where they wanna be community activists.

And neighbors come and feed our cattle and our neighbors gather the eggs and every day for the last few weeks and says, so much to me makes me feel the emotion now of what it feels like to have such more, wonderful support. And I know that, that's the blessing of living in rural America. And that's what our poll found ninety two percent of those surveyed said they had people nearby. They could rely on in times of need.

Breaking news out of the world to the USC USC to thirty four tonight in Melbourne Australia on pay per view, Robert Wood. It covers coming gasping for the middleweight title cancelled that flight has been canceled because Robert Whitaker is going under the knife. In a matter of moments in Australia for a hernia certainly wish him the best. I'm curious Ali is Kelvin going to get paid. How's this gonna work because you just went through a training camp?

I appreciate you coming on for a few minutes. He will take care. He was. And I have no doubt in my mind. Dana white and you'll see them because they're taking care of my guys sounds good. Thank you Ellie. Let's go back to the phone lines. Now talk to more fans. Breaking news again Robert Whitaker out of tonight's made event. Ernie a- surgery scheduled for Madame moments from now in Melbourne devastating news, not only for the UFC. But for Robert Whitaker who continues to get all these freaking bad breaks time. And again, he had shingles. Prior to the last time that they were in Melbourne with him headlining that card was supposed to be against Luke rock hold now. Just hours before the event he has to pull out and is going under the knife Joseph Detroit. How are you? Good. How about you area? I'm doing okay. Good. I just got a few questions for you that I think they should let the winner of tonight. And Calvin fight for the official title Whitaker should be stripped. It's just my opinion. Well, I wanna see how long he's out for this is definitely a bad break. But I typically like to subscribe to the rule that if you don't defend your title or you're not scheduled to fight within a year. Then you should be stripped in this case he last fought in June. So let's see how far he's out. Let's see how long he's out for. I should say let's see how long of a recovery this is needed. And then let's talk about stripping in. But I think right now, it's a little premature to talk about stripping. Because he pulled out last year knee injury. I think it's better for him. You don't have to take some time off. But my second question is not question opinion. True. They're gonna make McGregor verse Copley for the I think it should be Tony Emporia for the interim. Yeah, that's Donald Surani just talking right now from what I'm hearing the interim belt isn't being discussed. I don't think a belt is needed for that kind of fight. I don't think a belt elevates that kind of fight certainly not an interim title. So at this juncture, I think that's just cowboy talking and look he's going to get the fight. It seems like that's the front runner. I don't think you need to push for an interim thing anyone wants it, quite frankly, I think the interim belt would would almost like soil that that fight. I don't think anyone wants to see an interim belt online. I don't think either guys should be fighting for an interim belt when you have guys like Tony dust emporium ally. Doing what they've done as of late. Let's go back to the phone lines and say Hello to Corey in California, Corey how are you? Hey, I'm good. How you doing? I'm doing. Okay. Some some disappointing news, but we still have a car tonight. But yeah, it's it's a bummer. These things happen from time to time in in mixed martial arts and. I mean, this is a big one especially because it's the Australian who's now out of the card. Yeah. Honestly, like you said before man, I don't know how these injuries happened the day of the fight. How much are you actually doing? Such a serious injury. But I don't know it's fight game. And it happens. But. So my original copies I called about it. Now trying to shake up. I was gonna say do you think that Anderson is? His own legacy a little bit by taking these bigger fights with the much younger guys are like the fights with whatever, obviously, they're bigger fights. And he's a big name. And do you think that you have tarnished by throwing them into a fight with Israel, just because if Anderson, but then it turns around and now Anderson is card having a big name for Israel to fight. So do you think that enersen should lay off he's bigger fights? Or do you think he's finer you think his legacy Jenner hurt in the end after all this look if we're talking about tarnishing legacies? The only thing that's maybe tarnished his legacy. So to speak is the fact that he was caught with PD's twice other than that. I mean, I don't think opponents will tarnish anyone's like seeing fact to meet on the elevates your legacy because you're finding the toughest guys even as you're in your swansong so to speak. I like the fact that he's taken this fight. Everyone thought it was a mistake. It's an opponent that he thinks he could beat he's fourteen years older. He feels like maybe he's not as experiences him. Maybe he hasn't fought the kind of competition that he's. So I don't think this is. I mean, imagine he pulls it off great story George Foreman. It's like Randy tour all over again. So I honestly don't think that he's tarnishing his legacy on this one. Let's go to one quick call before we take another break Hamilton, Ohio. What's up man areas? A pleasure speaking with you. I want to go back to the UC days, or so I started hearing your voice. Boy that was handled by the UFC. I am so proud that you've come to where you had with the hard work. You've done to put yourself in today's position. Thank you know, as far as what's happening transplanted melborn sad. And that's the core. So the nature of the game. My question to you is at forty three year old is now put himself in position we he's probably going to be having to save this card. I understand that. There's not a lot of four weeks on your old man at his weight. They can do anything except maybe defend themselves. Does he really have a chance to see wing? And do you see this only in the heavyweight World War forty yours can compete one or two times? This gentleman is not tarnishing his world. It just a building him being allowed to do this because of his name and his past of fighting really realistically can this man really compete at this level with this young kid. I mean that remains to be seen. I don't think it's a bad matchup firm. In fact, I'd say he's too big of an underdog. I'm curious to see if he can turn back the clock tonight. But yeah, it's a great call to great point. The best news is this flight hasn't been canceled. So we're about to find out in a matter of moments in a matter of hours, whether or not Anderson Silva can hang with Israel to Sonya after the break. We're going to be joined by my colleague, my partner shell son. And he's in Melbourne. I want to get his take on things. He knows coming gasoline almost better than anyone. He was the one who drafted him on the ultimate fighter way. Back when devastating news Robert Whittaker's out of tonight's UFC two thirty four main event. And I just got details about how it all went down. I'll tell you about all that and more right after the break. You're listening to Hawaii's may show right here on ESPN radio and ESPN app this
