ultaneous sip. Somewhere around the world at any moment there's somebody doing the simultaneous sip. Yeah, it's true. Well, I have an alert. This is sort of an early warning. I like to catch problems when they're just developing. Some people wait till it's too late. Not me. I like to catch them early. You've all seen Planet of the Apes. The apes become sentient and intelligent, and I guess they w…
← Previous segment →r arc is how many medical problems I've solved for other people. Like a lot. Thousands and thousands of people in a variety of different ways. It's a whole bunch of different special cases that if you put them together would be a weird story by itself. One of those special cases was I had an exotic rare voice condition years ago which made it impossible to communicate. I couldn't speak without my vocal cords clenching shut. So for three and a half years I sought a treatment for that and I found the only surgeon in the world who had an experimental, semi-experimental, he'd worked on it a while, voice surgery. So I ended up researching that and getting the surgery and now you can hear me. I can speak. And what I did was I said, wait, if I'm the only one who knows this is curable and there are thirty thousand people in the United States who have the same problem, I need to tell them. So I did promotional stuff for People magazine and I mentioned it often. And if you Google your voice problem my name probably comes up and then you can find my story and then you can find your own solution. Well I just heard from another one. The surgeon who did my surgery, that surgery didn't work every time so something like 15 percent ended up with a worse result at least when I got the surgery. But apparently that same surgeon has developed a newer one in which they don't have to rewire some nerves. They just cut out a little piece of muscle that's causing a problem. And this gentleman who heard about it from me is cured. This is somebody whose entire life is completely different because he heard about a doctor and the surgery and then he went and got it and now he's cured. Do you know how good that makes me feel? Like I actually get to be part of the success story of thousands of people. Thousands have just been cured of one of the biggest problems I've ever had. It's called spasmodic dysphonia is the name of the voice problem. And then the surgery is from a doctor, Dr. Gerald Berke in Los Angeles. Dr. Gerald Berke, B-E-R-K-E not Burke. So if you're looking for it, there he is.

you think there will be widespread cheating in the midterms that will affect the outcome? So remember the words are "widespread cheating" and "affect the outcome." So it has to be big enough that it could change who got elected. What do you think the general public thought of that? Do you think that the Republicans maybe thought there would be trouble but the Democrats said things would be fine? I…
