Good
morning and welcome to the Earl Ingram show.
As always, you can join us at 855-752-4842.
855-752-4842.
You can text us at that same number.
Hey, good morning
to you, Cardi.
How you doing, man?
Man, I'm feeling very good today, man.
I just want to extend a warm welcome and birthday wish to my wife, man.
Miss Miss Dee Dee.
Glisper, man.
She's doing pretty good, man.
She turns 31 today.
Well, happy birthday to your to
your bride and 31 31.
Can I even think back that far?
But anyway, man, congratulations and happy birthday.
It's Thursday, and that means we are officially in the pharmacy with the one and only Dr. Omar, the pharmacist.
Good morning to you, Dr. Omar.
How are you doing, sir?
Good morning, Earl.
I'm doing great.
How are you today?
I'm doing... I'm melancholy.
I'm like the weather.
Yeah, you know it is.
Well, I say the weather of prepping is but the weather is prepping for the summer.
What can I tell
you?
Yeah.
Well, you can you can say that because you're constantly out of the weather and into some warm weather where the sun is shining.
It really does matter, doesn't it?
It does matter for sure.
Everything matters there, you know, how you feel about the day matters.
But I think the warmth of our hearts can get us through because you just get from the car to the building, from the building to the car, wherever you're going.
It is important to have like exercising and going out and seeing the sun.
All of this helps for sure.
But we have to always look at the pros and cons of every place we live in, right?
You know, Dr. Omar, you and I are going to have a conversation, you know, that we constantly have, and this is this ongoing battle that we have with weight and how to lose weight, how to keep it off.
And the battle is always, you know, predicated on the fact that we watch television.
and they've got all of these things that they show you to get you to buy them.
And at the root of all of it is money.
They're not concerned about whether or not it's healthy for you or not.
You know, I mean, I used to look at, they have the triple burgers, triple pound burger.
Look, three, three, three pound burgers or whatever it's called, three, I don't know, what do you call them?
What is it three?
Three ounces or what?
I don't know.
Oh, yeah, pounds.
Yeah, quarter, three, quarter pound, three, three, three times.
And you got these big, sloppy burgers and grease is running off of them and there's cheese on them.
Dr. Omar and man, and it just, oh man, it looks great, right?
And you're looking at that and you're saying,
Wow, man, I had to get one of those.
But you don't realize it's not good for you.
It is the problem is like when you leave your work and you go home, you have to think how many fast food chain I'm going to stop by, how many Dave's hot chicken, how many... Yeah, it's just like...
A lot, right?
You don't see a lot of places telling broccoli on your way home.
So, you know?
So all of this noise in your head that tell you, like, I want to eat quarter pounder when I go home, it's for a reason.
You covet what you see every day.
You want to have this delicious burger because you see a lot of commercials on it.
And that is one of the problems we're having.
And one of the problems that are being solved by the injectable geopelan agonists is that it helps to stop the noise of the food in our heads.
And when we are under stress, when we're not sleeping enough and we
are malnourished and we go through this kind of VIO dieting, I'm going to go between not eating for long hours and then suddenly binging eating for like whatever and then decide oh and now I'm going to decide to lose weight because I saw this kind of ad on that program.
Moving between like inconsistent ways of living, get us to what I call
It's a term that talks about metabolic inflammation that was first coined and used I think 2006 or 2007 in the research about how the low-grade inflammation in our bodies keep building until it gives us results of diabetes, cardiovascular events, and being obese and overweight.
And then we start to look for the solution, but to find one solution, we have to look at the layers of the health problems that we have been accumulating over the years, and the solution is not going to happen in one or two weeks.
So it needs patience, understanding, looking at the whole scope of our health, and then we can find solutions to our health crisis.
You know, Dr. Omar, it's...
The longer you live the more you realize yeah when you're younger you can kind of get away with some of those things Your system is fresh and it's working like a well oiled machine I guess it's just like an automobile when you first buy that beautiful car and You make sure you put all the right things in it.
You're not putting cheap gas in it You're making sure you're getting the oil change on time and
You're making sure the tires are, it's a brand new automobile.
And so you're cognizant of what you need to keep it operating at its peak, you know, at its peak.
So
it
is with your body, I guess.
You know, the older we get, you know, we just, we're not able to get away with the things.
that we were able to get away with when we were younger.
Is that how it goes?
Yeah, our body is resistant enough to a lot of the metabolic changes that we do, a lot of the insults that we incur over the years.
And then at a certain point, you just kind of have a cup that you're overflowing with problems.
And then suddenly, you're just kind of in the Grand Canyon and only one push.
gonna put you down.
So you have to kind of stop and look back and not worry about opening this door that's going to show you the real issues that you're going through.
So that's why don't seek the solution to your problem with just a prescription.
Seek for seeing the full picture of your health and then you can
you can do something and you have to start today and you start today by looking at the future not just looking at the past what you failed on doing look at the present moment and the future you in one and two and five years you're going to find a lot of a lot of things that you can do because everyone that achieved something was in a dark spot someday but they looked at the future and the present moment and they found how much they can do
You know, Dr. Omar, what is this?
This is March.
We're heading towards April.
People made all these commitments.
I'm going to get healthy this year at the beginning of the new year.
I'm going to eat right.
I'm going to work out.
I'm going to do all those things.
Well, those resolutions have long since passed.
And so people really had good intentions when they said those things.
but it's more than a notion to get healthy, right?
Yeah.
It's more than a notion to get healthy.
Being healthy, you can't translate it to happiness.
Because if you're healthy, your body is healthy, you're mentally healthy, your soul is healthy, so it's kind of systems.
It's not just to overcome high blood pressure or lower your A1C.
being healthy, we can translate it in today's terms of physical living.
It's very, very precious and we have to do everything we can to stay healthy.
And I see people investing tremendous amount of money to get this injection or this new pill or this new medication that will help them with their headaches.
And then there might be simpler, cheaper solutions, but they need more productivity.
in order to get them going and sometimes it's just we have to measure your magnesium and we see that you have no magnesium because you don't eat any leafy greens or any kind of vegetables so we have to get you some of those.
So just figuring out what's going on is very important and that's why I tell patients who are seeking health to always start with
getting direction of making the right assessment, the right labs.
If I'm going to do for exercising and I have failed in exercising for the last 20 years, I need some guidance.
I need a coach.
I need an app, something to do different, you know?
You know, Dr. Omar, we're turning the page.
Spring is on the horizon.
And so this is a good time, right?
I guess every time
is a good
time, right?
To commit to changing your lifestyle.
Of course, of course, every time is right time.
I think we are in the change of the season's time that people are seeking new ways of living and do some changes.
And also we have some disturbing news about affordability of injectables for many, many people.
So figuring out other ways to stay healthy, other ways for people who are overweight to lose weight.
That is something like it's a good topic to explore and find solutions.
All right, we're certainly going to delve deeper into that.
It is Thursday at eight o'clock.
That means Thursdays with Dr. Omar, the pharmacist, the proprietor of Weltopia and founder of Weltopia Pharmacy, Mequon Thamesville.
You're officially in the pharmacy.
with Dr. Omar, the pharmacist on the Earl Ingram show.
Any question or comment that you may have now is always the time with Dr. Omar's, you know, in the pharmacy.
And that's where you are now on the Earl Ingram
show.
So you
The following content is not intended as medical advice.
Always consult your own physician, pharmacist, or healthcare professional for your own healthcare concerns.
Bringing you a passion for health and wellness.
Dr. Omar Uliwa is here to answer your pharmaceutical questions.
Now, let's go in the pharmacy with Earl Ingram and Dr.
Omar.
Have you seen the year and the slope?
to the early room show.
As always, you can join us at 855-752-4842.
That's 855-752-4842.
Text us at that same number.
You are officially in the pharmacy with Dr. Omar, the pharmacist.
Questions or comments are certainly always welcome.
Dr. Omar, how can people get in touch with you?
People can always give us a call at 262-429-9429 or
they can send us, go to WiltopiaRx.com and send us a message.
So you talk about, and one of the things that we certainly were going to talk about today is the fact that these compounded injections that people were, Manjaro, Wegovi, and the other names of those different meds that can
Lower your a1c and and and and certainly cause you to lose some weight Are now going to be kind of you know taking off the market Unless you have to pay for them yourself
There was like shortage There was shortage and that shortage from the manufacturing drugs of the commercially available medications That shortage is being covered now
especially for the newer molecule, there's a pitide.
There is something called a molecular patent on that third appetite.
If the shortage goes away, no one can make or sell this molecule.
So there's going to be only the Mungaro and the zip bound, and these are expensive drugs to get outside of the insurance, putting into consideration that many times the insurance doesn't cover these drugs, the prices go
uh a thousand dollars plus to get it for
a month supply yeah one
month so yeah patients were able to get the cheaper compounded version during the shortage that's like ending now and they were paying maybe 250 300 dollars per month which was affordable for many people people were losing weight and then suddenly this is taken away and now we're freaking out what to do
without these medications seeking alternatives and What I want to tell you is that big big thing of how these medications work is that they just stop the noise of food That you know, I'm hungry.
I want to eat so they make you eat less make the food move slower in your GI and that helps you to lose weight reality of thing early is that You can achieve results
with addressing the core issue of your problem by looking at what I call the system biology approach.
The gut health, what's happening in my gut?
Do I have problem with what's called leaky gut food like particles are moving and causing inflammation in my body?
Do I have issues in the gut that need to be fixed?
Do I need more fiber?
Do I have IDS and Crohn's?
Do I have any of those gut issues that help us to extract nutrients from the foods that we eat?
Do I have food sensitivities, food allergies that I am not addressing and I'm just eating?
So that gets to be an important thing.
Do I have challenges in my immune system, what I call immune imbalances?
Because there are inflammatory markers, if I lower them down, my body will be less inflamed.
so that immunity gets to be big important and making sure that I am in balance.
There is the hormonal component, so are my hormones balanced, especially for perimenopause and menopause women?
If they don't have enough estrogen and progesterone, that's going to cause them problems in weight loss and anxiety, sleep issues.
Then there is insulin and blood sugar.
and A1C numbers that we can see creeping up every time we do the test with the doctor.
All right, so lifestyle then kicks in.
And how many hours do I get from sleep?
And if I'm not sleeping enough, my A1C is going up and I'm gonna type two diabetes.
So all of these things to compile it and say I'm going to take an injection, it just doesn't make a lot of sense.
And that's why I tell people it's time to do fresh lab work and kind of seek help for what else you can do beyond the injection to face your real issues with weight management, which is a healthier lifestyle that's going to make you see yourself in a better, healthier way.
You know, Dr. Omar, it's
It's certainly one of those things that, you know, people, it's not easy, right?
I mean, none of this is easy.
You're changing your lifestyle that you've grown accustomed to sometimes for over decades.
And people want to do the right thing, the willpower aspect of it.
is I guess where a lot of it is, it's kind of lost, right?
I mean, it's easier to go ahead, you look at things and you say, well, I've been working at this and I'm trying and I've lost a couple ounces.
So it's easy to get frustrated.
It is easy to get frustrated.
But I want to tell you about a patient I met yesterday.
He came and he's obese.
So why don't you do this, Dr. Omar?
Hang on a second.
855-752-4842.
You're officially in the pharmacy with Dr. Omar, the pharmacist.
He'll take any questions or comments.
You're on the Earl Ingram show.
to the Earling Room show.
You're officially in the pharmacy with Dr. Omar, the pharmacist, the proprietor of World Topia Pharmacy.
Dr. Omar, how can people get in touch with you?
People can always give us a call at 2624299429 or go to willtopiarx.com.
And while we're on the airwaves, you can always call and have a conversation with Dr. Omar over the air.
Let's go to Ali from Northwoods.
Hey, good morning to you, Ali.
You say what?
Good morning.
I have a question for the doctor.
What would he recommend for somebody who has lymphedema and chronic joint pain?
Would he recommend lab work or something, a particular lab?
So, you know Ali when you call you should turn your radio down because you sometimes you hear that in the background But you're okay.
He heard you.
Dr. Oma
So lymphoedema is like it's a condition that has swelling in the lymphatic fluid buildup All right can open happens in the arms and the legs, right?
So the challenge is the management of reducing the swelling improving the circulation
and complications.
So it's very important to refer to a doctor who's going to be a vein specialist to see where is the lymphatic swelling that is happening and to find the best solution for ongoing to prevent the complications.
So there are these specialists who are vein specialists and there are several centers of them in Wisconsin and in other states
but that's where I would refer them first to know what's actually going on, to get clear imaging of how complicated it is, and then we would seek ways of reducing swelling, improving circulation, and that can happen with medications and supplements and also properly fitted compression garments to prevent worsening of the swelling.
Okay.
Thank you very much for
your help.
Hey Ali, thank you very much for the call.
Thank you for listening.
So Dr. Omar, when you're talking about these, these, uh, Ozympic Manjaro and all these other, uh, miracle drugs that have come into vogue here recently, and you talked about the compounding of them.
Is there any withdrawal symptoms?
Uh,
Main withdrawal symptoms of stopping the medication is going to be the noise of food coming back and people will eat more often.
And the only way that they were using in order to lose weight is going to be going away.
So the challenges like these medications are meant to work as you take them for weight loss.
If you stop it, you don't lose weight anymore.
But if we have approached it,
the GLP1 agonists from the idea of I want to manage my hormones, my stress, my gut health, my sleep cycle.
And I found that one, two, three, four, five, number five or number three is I'm going to use the medication, but one, two, three is going to include eating healthier diet that's kind of guided by a dietitian.
not just kind of eating broccoli or something because diet and eating psychology is much deeper than that.
So guidance is very important.
So diet, exercise, you need guidance on exercising and you don't have to have a personal trainer every time that you train.
There are kind of training apps that are wonderful.
I have to have clear lab work for what's going on.
clear complete blood count, thyroid function, hormonal function, and many other lists of lab work that is needed to see the nutrition deficiencies.
If there is any mold toxins or any heavy metal toxicity that need to be addressed.
What I want to tell you in simple terms is that these medications were meant to be a kickstart for a weight loss program, but they're not the end game.
And with many doctors, actually, the patients don't go above the first or the second tier of the dosing because they're doing some other things that help their body.
So if you are taking Monjaro or Terzopetide 2.5 or 5 milligram, which is starting two doses, many people don't want to go or don't need to go beyond the 5 milligram because they are already losing weight.
And if they stop,
there is a replacement program to help them.
So I think for people who are going to stop these medications due to coast, I would recommend that they would seek help from functional medicine practitioner to figure out what else we can do because we have a lot of options but they are all customizable herbs and there are other supplements and medications that help to stop the noise of food.
but they're just what works for you, is not going to work for me.
And that's why we tell people, okay, it's not the end of the road for your weight loss, because these medications were meant to help you to start a journey.
And actually I have many people who are calling me and telling me, you know what, we started this program, we wanted to take the Mungaru and Uzimpec for only a few months, but now we are on our own and we could keep the weight that we lost.
because we have identified that we had problems in our hormones that needed to be balanced and we finally got our hormones balanced.
So I would tell a woman on her prime years of 55 and 60, if you balance your estrogen and progesterone and testosterone, you're going to live the best days of your life.
You're going to have a sharp mind, you'll be able to lose weight, you'll be able to sleep well, less anxiety.
and the key is going to be balancing your hormones.
So I'm talking about system of body, not just a health condition.
You know, Dr. Omar, is it safe to say, you know, people are addicted to alcohol, they're addicted to drugs, they're addicted to a lot of different things.
Can you be addicted to food?
That's what we're having.
Yes, and this is a planned and programmed because we see the food commercials everywhere Like as I told you like you leave your your work you go to everywhere and then you see all of these fast food chains that keeps the image in your brain food food food and they're very delicious and there are scientists that create the most delicious M&Ms and the most delicious this and that so we are all addicted
to food, unfortunately, and going against this addiction needs a lot of work.
I use just a quick story.
I was coming back from a three-day trip to my four kids and my wife, and I told them, and I told them, I got for you sweets.
Everyone has sweets, and they were so happy.
So I went inside, and I gave my first child, here's an apple.
Second child, here's a peach.
30 child.
Here's a carrot.
They were looking at me.
What are you doing, dad?
This is not sweets.
I told them, you know what?
You're not going shopping with me again.
And, you know, four days later, they ate all of the fruits and vegetables that I bought, because that's what was in the house.
So, you know, I'm not, I consider this a stuff love.
I don't want to buy them sweets because I see the implications of
of diabetes and what it can cause to our generation.
Like 30 years ago, 20 years ago, you would go to a classroom and you would just see just one child that's overweight and everyone would be picking on them.
Now you enter the classroom and you see half the class are overweight because of that kind of delicious food addictions that we've been programming our generations to come on.
Right,
you know, you know, dr. Omar the eight five five seven five two forty eight forty two is the number you're officially in the pharmacy with dr. Omar the pharmacist and the proprietor of well topia pharmacy in mecca on themesville, you know, you really the way you lay it out You know Thirty years ago you contracted diabetes.
It was a death sentence, right?
Yeah
And even today, once they say you have diabetes, it takes the wind out of your sails.
And you begin to think everything is a downward spiral from that point on.
And you say, well, listen, I didn't intentionally.
do these things to myself but it happened to me and now and now you know for the rest of my life I've got to I've got to walk this tightrope because really that's kind of what it is if you don't if you don't understand what it is right I mean if you you talked about all the different stages all the different things
different aspects of your body and the systems in your body that impact and affect the fact that you now have diabetes and All of those different systems you've got to be aware of and and how and how they're working is that is it safe to say that?
Yeah, and it is not easy airless.
That's why we need guidance because it can be overwhelming even to the clinicians so
Diabetes is like diabetes, pre-diabetes, and you're normal.
The challenge is like if you are having, every time, blood sugar is being checked and the numbers are creeping up, if it's the A1C is a number, there is an inflection point that they tell you, now you have your pre-diabetic, which is if A1C is 5.7, then if it goes to 6.2, you're diabetic.
But between 5.4 and 6.2, there is a range.
that a lot of things you could do to keep the numbers low and you have to be told by your doctor that things are moving in the wrong direction.
Now let's work on diet.
Let's talk about food.
How do you eat?
How do you do this?
How do you do that?
Or if the doctor doesn't have time for that, which is 99% of the case is true, the doctor should refer you to a dietitian to see how your eating habits are affecting your probability to get diabetes soon.
So, it is safe to say that looking at our health conditions as chronic health conditions only is not enough to solve our health crisis.
8-5-5, 7-5-2, 48-42.
You're in the pharmacy with Dr. Omar, the pharmacist.
So, Dr. Omar, it's one thing to have it diabetes and it's hereditary.
It's another one all together when children at very young ages become obese and you talked about it.
You see it everywhere.
I don't care where it is, you see it, but that's in America.
It's not
like that
all over the world, right?
It's all over the world, unfortunately.
I remember, yeah, it's everywhere now this is happening because the American lifestyle of living and eating is...
is infecting every...
Dr. Omar, hang on, 8-5-5-7-5-2-4-8-4-2, you're officially in the pharmacy with Dr. Omar, the pharmacist on the Earling Room Show.

Dr. Omar, how can people reach you?
You can always call us at 262-429-9429 or go to www.wiltopiarx.com.
And Cardi, if people want to get, you know, excerpts from
this, how do they do it?
They can tap onto the live stream on YouTube at CivicMedia.com, or they can check out the website at CivicMedia.us to view the episode.
Click on the Earl Ingram show and look on this episode.
All right, let's go to Mary from Tulsa.
Good morning to you, Mary.
How you doing?
Good morning, gentlemen.
I'd like to ask Dr. Omar's opinion.
I eat a healthy diet, but I still have quite a taste for sweets, and so I use the healthy sweeteners in my baking and my food choices, like stevia, erythritol, dilatol.
So is this OK, or should I be working on getting rid of this addiction to sweets, which is what I think of it as?
Thanks very
much.
Thanks, Mary.
Stevia is okay to take.
It's much healthier than sugar.
So if you like stevia and you accept the taste of stevia, it's used as a sweetener in many of the powders in the professional grade supplements.
And I'm fine with stevia erythritol.
They are much better than the other sucralose and other kind of height.
I fact was going syrup kind of sweetened foods.
So severe is okay for most of the scientists and doctors should be fine.
You know, Dr. Amar from the time we're children, we just parents don't understand.
And so we start getting things.
I don't care what it is.
It's always something that's sweet.
And the business community knows what it's doing, right?
It's not by accident.
Yeah.
It is not by accident and just want to decrease the sweets.
And if we're going to eat it, we eat it as the last thing in the meal, not the first part of the meal.
Like if you start your meal by getting the proteins and the vegetables and the salads.
we have made a caution in the gut.
So when we eat the sweets, the absorption of sugar is going to be much less than starting the meal by eating something sweet when we're very hungry.
We're going to eat less portions and it's going to cause less effect on the spikes of the blood sugar because what affects the blood sugar is the spikes that shooting up to the sky of numbers.
of blood sugar after we eat the sweets.
So if we cannot stop the sweets, we can just kind of regulate when we eat them.
We can make sure that when we go to the department stores, we don't bring our children with us because they're always going to be fighting on five, 10 different things and eventually the parent is going to give up one or two things.
So it's an ongoing battle for the health of our generations.
You know, Dr. Omar, it really is just a hard thing to continue to wrestle with.
But it's something that you have to.
People have overcome.
I used to smoke cigarettes.
I can't even believe that I used to smoke cigarettes.
but I was able to overcome smoking cigarettes.
There's some things that I used to do in my life that I stopped doing because I knew long term that these things were not good for me.
But man, that continued battle with the food aspect of it.
Sometimes I think it's even more difficult than giving up the cigarettes.
Yeah, I agree with you.
I mean, giving up the smoking is a great step for health and we wish any smoker to quit.
But there are several battles we have to go through and God gave us the ability to do that.
The human body and the human brain and the alignment of our well and our abilities of what we want to do.
If we decide to do something, we will do it.
So a lot of people have become better thinking of the present and the future, not just thinking about failures of the past.
So I completely agree with you and I really salute you for being able to get rid of that cigarette.
This must have had a great impact in your life and in your health and in your ceiling of your ability to do things, right?
Well, you know, I mean, I said that I had given up smoking 20 years ago by my wife.
I said, no, it's been much longer than that, probably closer to 30 years ago.
But, you know, long, and, you know, it did give me the willpower and the courage to know that you didn't have to be stuck in that reality, you know?
And so, and the willpower to know that whatever it is, you can overcome it.
Because what you're talking about, Dr. Omar,
is willpower, information, and willpower.
But number one, information.
Everything that you're talking about points to information if you're going to change your life, right?
Right, exactly, exactly.
Getting the right information and we start with that.
That's where we start.
All right, Dr. Omai, it's always good talking to you.
We'll see you in a week and hopefully it'll be a little warmer.
All right.
All right.
You have you have been officially in the pharmacy with Dr. Omar the pharmacist is on the Earl Ingram show Up next.
It's your thing You we can talk about whatever it is your heart desires on the Earl Ingram show
Oh, that's what I need
and welcome back to The Earl Ingram Show.
As always, you can join us at 855-752-4842.
The phone lines are open.
It's your thing.
We can talk about whatever it is you want to talk about.
Let's go to the phone lines and Mary, good morning to you, Mary.
You say what?
Morning, Earl.
Hey, I'm calling in again with kudos for the contrarian on Substack.
I listened to them again this morning.
They're on live three times weekly.
It has Wisconsin's backs.
highlighting our election, our April 1st election, interviewing Ben Wickler this week and posting, you know, writings about Wisconsin's election on their site.
And so I'd like to encourage people to reach out for contact, and they're also encouraging people to reach out for contact to become an election inspector on April 1st, and wow.
Jennifer and or no norm are talking about coming to Wisconsin on April 1st in support of our election.
Um, it'd be great if they, uh, comment.
They could be interviewed on civic media.
So do check, uh, check the contrarian on sub step out.
It has our back.
All right.
Thank you very much for the call.
You know, uh, I have to say this, you know,
Last year, I think there was something, I don't know, I forgot the number.
Might have been $60 million spent in the state Supreme Court raised $59 million somewhere around there.
They're talking about almost $100 million spent will be spent by the time this is done in this race.
here in the state of Wisconsin.
Man, what the hell is wrong with people, man?
You know, $100 million spent for a state supreme court race.
Man, do you understand the impact that $100 million can have in the lives of people who struggle?
A hundred million dollars.
You know, Donald Trump and his minions are talking about figuring out a way to cut support for homeless people, man.
And food stamps.
And yet we can spend a hundred million dollars in a race for one state Supreme Court justice.
When does this madness end?
Look, this nation is headed on a trajectory of no return.
Nobody understands or nobody feels just how ridiculous it is to spend a hundred million dollars for a state Supreme Court seat, a hundred million.
Man.
Well, you know, we can't, we're spending too much money.
on feeding people.
We're spending too much money on helping them with the heat during the winter.
We don't have enough money.
We can't, for health insurance and people who don't have health insurance, we don't have enough money to keep the hospitals open, but we can spend $100 million on one state Supreme Court seat.
Man, man, the nation is falling apart.
Oh, it's already falling apart.
And, uh, and I don't know if anybody thinks this can continue.
How can it possibly continue at this rate?
So it went from 58 or 59 million, uh, with, uh, uh, Justice Janet Proto say, which is race last year to almost a hundred million.
almost doubled in one year.
It's going to move even higher next year and the year after that.
And people have no problem throwing that kind of money away.
It has no value.
If you can spend it like that and then on foolishness, look at the commercials.
I mean, nothing that I see in those commercials is making me make a decision on who I'm gonna vote for.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
It's nonsensical.
Well, no, so and so, you know, I had a five-year-old baby got raped, and so what does that have to do with anything?
But yet they can spend a hundred, throw away a hundred million dollars.
My god, uh, let's go to Mark from, uh, parade to sack.
Hey, good morning to you, Mark.
Hey, man, help me understand that.
I can't, I can't throw my, my mind around it for doing that kind of thing.
But I mean, it is just the ridiculous of how much money's in politics.
It has been a problem for a long time.
Supreme court just made it worse when they passed citizens united.
Mike, one of my beefs is, is the rewriting of history or it just kind of, re, quite a eliminate history.
with the whole thing like it arm i like a national cemetery where they're taking off that it did removing the names of of off the web pages of of black america
and then jackie robinson man jackie
robinson i guess they really replied they put his name back up again but for all these other people i mean and they're renaming that they're renaming the forts back to the confederate general's names but they say well no one was named at the confederate general was named after this guy here who just happened to have the same name
I call BS on that.
I've had a belly full.
This is not an original idea myself, but a commentator commented that this is getting to be like Chairman Mao, who had his cultural revolution and just kind of eliminated Chinese history to remake it in his image and his idea of his political image.
what he wanted to see happen and that's what we're seeing with Trump.
We're supposed to forget the fact that the civil wars fought over slavery.
You look at the cornerstone speech by Alexander Stephenson, it was all about it.
This is what it's all about.
We're supposed to eliminate that and pretend that this stuff never happened.
Getting rid of DEI, what the hell is wrong with diversity, equity, and inclusion?
That means we're including everybody.
that case on Idaho now that some teachers getting smacked around because she had a sign up.
Everybody's welcome here and had the old, I mean, I remember those hand sides from back in the 70s for God.
You know what, Mark?
You know what, Mark?
Here's what they need to understand because the so-called culture wars that they've come up with and that people have jumped on board and support.
as a black man in America watching what they're doing, trying to eliminate the history of what happened to blacks in this country.
And then to turn around and say, Native Americans and anybody other than white says something about the people who are pushing that, okay?
And so why are they trying to make those people
who support that believe that again, the only people on the face of the earth that count are people who are European and white and European is ridiculous.
This nation is supposedly a melting pot, right?
What America is, and I'll say it for the hundredth time, is there isn't a nationality called an American.
It's everybody So you can't change the definition of what an American is because you you're doing away with with diversity equity and inclusion How does that make you feel better mark?
It's male.
I mean it's white male.
That's the only thing that's supposed to be important.
I mean that it is just
why there are women that are supporting this, the stuff because they're next on the list.
No
question.
I mean that it is just beyond me to, you know, I'm 66 years old now and it just is, I thought we'd put all this crap behind us, but I mean that these guys have been lying in the weeds, building up the resentments, able to exploit the resentments of these people and they don't seem to realize that it's your aristocracy.
Once again, the aristocracy that brought us
into the Civil War.
Hey, Mark, you know what else they've done?
They've done a great job of leading those people to the fountain and getting them to be concerned about culture wars at the same time they're trying to take away social security, taking away the Department of Education.
They want people to be ignorant.
They don't want the American people to be able to think, and so guess what many of the American people are doing?
They're following exactly what they've said in motion, right?
They don't want them to be able to think.
They want to think for them, the people who are calling these shots, and far too many Americans have gone down that Primrose path mark, and they can't get beyond it.
You know they're looking at Donald Trump and Elon Musk and now all of a sudden some of the people who voted for Donald Trump are starting to say hey wait a minute I didn't vote for Elon Musk Okay, and I'm upset about that, but They don't understand Elon Musk wouldn't be doing what he's doing if it wasn't for the guy they voted for mark Elon Musk got his juice from Donald Trump
I mean, and Donald Trump promised in his first campaign, back in 15, 16, that he was going to take on the rich.
He was going to make sure the rich paid their fair share of taxes.
Well, like, BS on that.
I mean, he's just going for more and more tax cuts for the guys.
He wants to eliminate taxes because, you know, those guys aren't going to be paying anything.
Hey, Mark, thank you.
Thank you very much for the call.
It's your thing.
We'll talk about whatever it is you want to talk about.
on the Earl Ingram Show, 855-752-4842, coming right back to you on the phone lines.
This is me.
All right, welcome back to the Earl Ingram Show.
As always, you can join us at 855-752-4842.
It's your thing.
We can talk about whatever it is you want to talk about.
Let's go to Thomas.
Good morning to you, Thomas.
What's on your mind?
Hi, Earl.
Yes, sir.
First, I just want to say, you know, a billionaire makes us pay for his golf weekends.
Then tells us we can't have...
or any of that stuff.
It drives me nuts.
But another topic with the Supreme Court thing, I'm getting a little, don't be really concerned.
Yesterday, for the last night I was watching 2B, every commercial break was shimmel.
Now with the cops, the judges, and I know Crawford doesn't have...
saying this for weeks now where you're finally I'm seeing stuff about the rape kits not being taken care of and all that but it's just you're getting so saturated with with uh shimmel that it worries me I'm hoping people will wake
up to that hey Thomas they're gonna spend a hundred million dollars man not uh not a hundred thousand a hundred million
for one state Supreme Court seat, and yet we're cutting all these programs because we say we can't afford it.
Man, if you can afford to spend $100 million for Supreme Court seat, here's the other side of that, Tom, what are they looking to get?
Okay.
That is it.
That is it.
What's in it for them?
Yes.
You can't spend, George Carlin said, you know, you can't give somebody a hundred million dollars and expect them not to be owned by the somebody who gave them a hundred million dollars.
Hey, Thomas, you're right on point.
Thank you very much for the call.
Up next, Jack from Racine.
Good morning to you, Jack.
It's your thing,
man.
We can talk about whatever it is you want to talk about.
Thank you, Earl.
great comments.
I started off wanting to talk about about the money in politics that you've come back to and I'm thinking throughout my life there's been numerous efforts to get money out of politics and have public funding and regulate the amount that's spent on usually by the Democratic Party and independence and opposed by the Republicans and we're seeing why you know since just today with they can dominate the money the money hunt to pay for
paper ads and things that a gentleman was just talking about so you know it's uh... it's a shame but they they got control of the supreme court they got citizen united the corporations people we don't know who who actually is putting money into these things but i guess we know we got must putting in ten million dollars for shimel that should tell people something that he's shimel is musk man and uh...
But, you know, there's an outrage every day.
I mean, I just read that there's, that the Disabilities Act is being changed.
Absolutely.
There are 11 parts of the, of the Disabilities Act.
So, you know, where businesses don't have to accommodate people with disabilities in different ways anymore because of that.
Social security, they're cutting social security departments.
So people have to go miles and miles to get to social security to do simple things they could use.
on the phone because they're stopping, they're stopping phone
calls.
It's just an unbelievable situation.
I mean, and I heard a figure that I think is put up by Congressman from Connecticut, which has a lot of insurance companies.
He said, you know, I know something about insurance.
He said the cost of the Social Security for administration is 1%.
Yes.
1% of it.
He said, he said that
in insurance companies for health insurance, that starts at 16% and goes up in terms of the cost of administration.
So they're going after these institutions because they philosophically and financially don't agree with them.
They'd rather have that money in their private fund, the Social Security Trust fund.
And by the way, one last figure is about $2.3 trillion.
That they're looking for for tax breaks for primarily wealthy people 4.4 4.4 point money in the Social Security
4.5 trillion is what they're looking for but
here's
4.5 But but here's the other side of all of all that Jack.
Here's the other side of it They're all now they're saying hey the majority of the American people don't like Elon Musk
and even the Maggots, they don't like Elon Musk, and Elon Musk didn't get elected by the people.
But man, Elon Musk is sitting at the right hand of Donald Trump.
There wouldn't be an Elon Musk if Donald Trump didn't sanction him.
So I don't know how you can say it's not Donald Trump, it's Elon Musk.
Donald Trump gave Elon Musk...
that position of power.
And so it's only Donald Trump who can remove him.
So for those people who keep saying, well, you know, the majority of the American people don't like Donald Trump.
Hey, I mean, don't like Elon Musk.
Hey, talk to the guy who you put in office.
That's his guy.
855-752-4842 is the number of guys hang on.
It's your thing.
Do what you want to do on the Earl Ingram Show.
We talk about whatever it is you want to talk about.
show.
As always, you can join us at 855-752-4842.
855-752-4842.
Text us at that same number.
It's your thing.
Do what you want to do.
We can talk about whatever it is you want to talk about.
Let's go to Brendan.
Good morning to you Brendan.
You say what?
I just want to talk about the
hypocrisy and the actual racism that comes directly from the Oval Office.
Three points.
The bill that has just signed no longer making it mandatory for segregation with government contracts.
This is a slow walk right back towards white fountains and black bathrooms.
Then I want to talk about, just mention the hypocrisy as far as the treatment of women.
This idiot brought the Tate brothers back to the United States of America.
They were trafficking people.
Okay, they're trying to get MAGA the core MAGA the racist the bigots the core MAGA not all MAGA people okay because a lot of MAGA people wanted what he was lying to them about and I get it but they're trying to get this officer who killed George Floyd in front of the whole country they're trying to get him sprung free okay so this I have mentioned I had mentioned this six months ago or so
that the racism of this party is the core and the glowing ember that we need to put out, okay?
And this is what's going on in our country right now.
They're trying to erase black history.
They're trying to push misogyny upon us.
and it's got to end.
And we need to stand shoulder to shoulder with LGBTQ people.
Black, white, yellow, brown, all of us need to get together and stand shoulder.
Look at what happened in Belarus a week ago.
Over 40,000 people got together in the city and we're chanting together.
That's how change is done.
And we gotta start now because this idiot has just lost his mind and thinks he can do whatever he wants.
And now he's actually controlling the purse strings because we signed this DR. And there was no good decision to be made there.
We've got to get together, people.
You know, you know, Brendan, man, thank you for being so forthright.
Because you just you just pointed out what's at the root of all of this.
And there are far too many Americans who won't admit it.
and who hide behind that veil of, this is a DEI and affirmative action is discriminatory to white men.
And anybody who supports that.
Come on, man.
You know, you can't tell me, you can't tell me that they really believe that, okay?
The facts don't point any of that out, yet they're all those who are supporting Trump.
And what they are doing are all going along with that foolishness, man.
You know, and so what do they think is going to happen in this country?
Do they think that we're going to go back to a time?
You know, when blacks were treated in the manner that we were historically, it's not going to happen.
And they're just opening this whole thing up for a confrontation, man, that is not going to be good.
And so for those who support Donald Trump and his racist tactics, you know, it's not going to be good, man.
You're destroying this nation and you're not, we're not going back.
Okay.
We're not going back.
Thank you very much for the call.
I appreciate it.
Um, Cindy, you're up next.
Hey, Earl.
Well, I give.
Tammy and Michael can some credit for doing their little tours, but where the hell were they last week when Chuck Schumer voted for this stupid bill?
And what are they doing in Washington, DC?
You know, I've always talked about politics and politics.
And, you know, when you're more concerned, Cindy, about your seat, then something is wrong.
And that's on us.
That's on us the voters when when when the people that we elect Can't stand up and speak the truth about what's happening in the nation Because they're concerned about losing their seat.
They deserve to lose their seat It's just not about protecting their seats.
I don't give a rip about them in their seats I'm concerned about what's in the best interest
of the American people.
Go ahead, Cindy.
Nope.
That's all I had to say.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Let's go to Ann.
Hey, good morning to you, Ann.
You say what?
Morning, Earl.
The bottom line is it's all about the rich getting richer.
And anyone that voted for Trump is a racist period.
And we'll see how racist Wisconsin is after this election.
I think Trump wants a civil war right here.
to arrest all the blacks and brown people and any white person that didn't vote for him, because he probably has all that information.
So we need to fight back.
And, you know, with Shimo, like saying already worried about voting being a fraud, when they're the ones that don't want to count the votes as they come in, they want to wait for the mail-in ballots, that was all on them.
But then once again, they're going to make it like it was a left problem.
You know, well, you said a lot because because that's exactly what Republicans are talking about now.
If the race is fair, what the hell are they talking about?
If the race is fair, you know, so so when Donald Trump won when they win, no problem.
OK, but when they lose like a bunch of children.
They didn't get that way.
Thank you very much for the call, Ann.
Who's up next?
Susan from Kenosha.
Good morning to you, Susan.
You say what?
Oh, good morning.
I actually thought what Brandon said was correct.
And we need to get together as a group, and we need to stand firm.
I do not like this fact that we are giving in left and right.
to the mega crowd.
We are losing our constitution, as I said, in the rule of law, and we are not sheep.
We have fought for this country, and all people have fought.
Women, people of color, the Navajo co-toughers, if it wasn't for them, we could be speaking Japanese now.
People don't realize that this...
This country is based on all people.
It's we the people.
It's not white people only.
It's we the people who make this country strong and survive.
And so now we need to get together and we need to stand firm and say we've had enough.
Enough is enough.
And we're not going to accept this anymore.
You know what Susan, you said a mouthful.
Thank you very much.
for the call.
Let's go to John.
Good morning to you, John.
You say what?
Erl, you're not going to want to hear this, but you probably are the biggest racist I've ever heard of.
And every time things don't go your way, you pull out the race card.
It's racist, race that,
and you play it.
Hey, John,
hey,
John, let me, let me say this to you.
It doesn't mean anything to you.
Okay, but that doesn't mean it doesn't mean anything to the rest of us who who've been here longer than you And so let me say this to you man because I'm not quite so sure.
Well, well, but let me say this to you The people who are coming up with doing away with the history of this nation is not Earl Ingram Okay, it's Donald Trump is maga and people like you so to say that I'm playing a race card
You know, Donald Trump is holding a race deck.
He knows where the card is if I'm playing it.
And so conservatives and people like you know where that deck is.
And so if I'm playing a race card, stop holding the racial debt.
Okay.
So come up with it.
Come up with something else because.
that's all let me ask you something do you think do you think races do you think racism exists in this country man sure it does but that's to the degree that you're okay so what degree so so so so so educate me so educate me so educate me to what degree does race play a role in this country educate me because i don't know well that
That's not my argument.
I know I know I know I know so you say is you say it's not your argument because you don't have an argument because you're not a person of color Let me let me say this to you, man You you are not a person.
Let me say this to you.
You are not a person of color You don't understand so
Black people make up 12% of the population in this country.
5% in the state of Wisconsin.
Don't tell me that I'm a racist.
Okay.
I've lived 70 years in this country.
I've lived 70 years in this country.
You say what?
I've
worked in the inner city longer than you have.
15th in Keith, 12th in North.
I've been there for 20 years, my friend.
Did I just tell you, man?
I'm 70 years old and I still live in the inner city.
So how are you going to live in that longer than me?
You said what?
One other thing.
No, no, no, I'm just I'm just disputing the foolishness that's coming out of your mouth.
You can't compare.
You can't feel racist.
Why am I racist?
Explain explain explain to me what makes me a racist.
OK, because whenever there's a problem, whenever things don't go the liberal.
way, they throw it racism.
You know, they do that.
They've been doing that for over 50 years since I've been around on this planet.
Oh, so you've been on the planet for 50 years.
You've been on the planet for 50 years and you're telling me about racism.
You know what?
Oh, since I could let me, let me, let me say that.
Well, let me say, let me say this to you, man.
You, you know, you have a right to your opinion.
You're blind and I get it.
You can't feel you you can't deal
calling and attacking will get you nowhere I'm attacking you.
That's what you do.
This is your program your program's entertaining.
I listen to it because it entertains me, but When you shoot off and make everything, you know fear this fear that whitey this I Know but
John hey John have you have you not noticed?
that there are whites just like you who call in and they say the exact opposite of what you were saying.
Have you noticed that?
It's quite a few.
You can't speak now?
Okay, so what do you call the whites who call in and dispute what you're saying?
What do you call them?
Racists?
No, no,
no, no, the whites, the whites, the whites who call here and say that there's racism and bigotry in this country.
What do you call
them?
that I don't agree how you put it that
you didn't hear me say everything is that is that problem man you have never heard me say that eight five five seven five two forty eight forty two is the number you're tuned into the earling room show
What's your feeling?
There's a reason for I want to do right.
Got to be right.
Do I love you?
Oh, you know I'll try.
But what you after?
minutes of the Earl Ingram show, as always, you can join us at 855-752-4842.
You know, the last caller who said, uh, you know, I, I listened to you because you're entertaining.
Oh, hey man, I'm not here to entertain.
If you're entertained by what I'm doing, fine.
But you know, we talking about the truth.
That's gold to, uh, Tom from LA.
Tom, you're up.
First off, I want to wish Mrs. Cardi a very happy birthday.
Cardi's playing that music to put her in that sweet love mood.
So good for you, Cardi.
Second, as I say every day on the show and why I keep repeating it, we the people ultimately are the government.
I also keep repeating not just around election time, but every day that we need to get money out of politics.
and we need to get lobbyists out of politics every single day.
Pretty much the ad nauseam.
But this dude, I just called up.
I'm gonna call him un-American.
He is an un-American person.
He is a joke.
What, because Earl is a black man?
That's why he talks about race all the time?
Tell him that Earl never hardly talks about race.
The only way Earl even talks about race is the fact that he is a black man and he's a host of this show.
How dare you, sir?
You have no decency.
You might as well go back with McCarthy.
You might as well go back with Hitler and Trump.
Because that's where he belongs.
I guess nowadays, what's going to be tough is just because you're a black person, you're automatically going to be a racist.
Well, you
know, when Republicans feel it.
Well,
you know, Tom, you've listened to me for many years.
How often do you hear me talking about race?
Thank you very much for the call, man.
I wish you had more time.
Up next, Mike from Kenosha.
Good morning to you, Mike.
You say what?
Mike, you're up.
Yeah, I'm here.
Can you hear
me?
Yes, sir.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Be very good.
Yeah, I'm going to hop over John's comments because they're just obnoxious.
But what's really critical, getting back to what you were talking about before, is $100 million for the race for the Supreme Court here in Wisconsin shows all of us here in Wisconsin just how critical Wisconsin is in this whole fight that is going on across the nation and globally.
Wisconsin is the heart of the democracy.
It truly, truly is.
The Wisconsin idea as well was utilized
by FDR and Teddy Roosevelt to break up monopolies and then get our nation back on track again, the Wisconsin idea.
So they recognize that by spending, and they'll spend 200 million, if that's what they think it's going to take.
So just think about this for a second, people.
When people can, when others can just continue to throw massive amounts of money.
And by the way, whose money is it?
Who knows?
It's dark.
We have subjugated our responsibility to track accounting fundamentals.
So we don't even know where the money is coming from.
If this is all on we, the people, we got to be better than this.
And last point real quick is we are existing in the failed, trickle down economics called Reaganomics.
Reaganomics, this is we're here because the economy is fine.
But the pie slices are way out of whack to where it's all going one direction.
Hey,
Mike, we are people.
It's going to the 1%.
Mike,
thank you very much.
Let's go to Mark from Racine.
Mark, go ahead.
Yes.
Uh, thank you.
And that guy charging you with racism is pretty, uh,
that's all
right.
Ralph Nader has a suggestion that I think is very worthy.
He's saying that the Democrats in the House and Senate could have unofficial hearings, and I presume unofficial hearing needs to be totally bipartisan, et cetera, and their hearings could point out what they would like to have, like raising minimum wage to at least $15 per hour.
85% Americans support taxing the rich.
They could talk about that.
They could also point out all the illegal, uh, Trump executive orders and unconstitutional executive orders.
In other words, it would, it would make for some press and yes, admittedly they, uh, don't have the votes, but it could, they can draw attention.
You know, I mean, you and I, et cetera, and those listeners, we know what's going on.
Uh, but you know, the, the John and the Jane does, you know,
uh, you, you, you know, Mark.
I wish I had more time, man, but, you know, thank you very much for the call.
But let me, let me, let me kind of, let me kind of say this.
$59 million spent last year for state Supreme Court seat over a hundred million a year later.
And people are starving in this country and they're getting ready to take even more away.
And Tom is right.
Money and politics, that's the Republicans deal, man.
That came through Republicans.
Okay.
So they can say whatever the hell it is they want to say in the end better ones who sanctioned it Better ones who said, okay, let's go with it Republican idea So if you're a Republican look in the mirror man You guys created that Well, the Democrats are spending a lot of money too.
Yeah, but who created it?
You know so a hundred million this year next year what hundred and fifty million
There's going to be another Supreme Court race next year.
It's jumping up in increments of 50 million at a pot.
Hey, man, and you're taking away food stamps.
855-752-4842.
Thank you, everybody who made the show go.
Thank you, Cardi.
Up next, Jane Madden at Greg, Matt Nair on there.
Tune in tomorrow for me and Sandy Williams, and Sandy Williams and I will continue the conversation.
