The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- On Monday, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen testified in the “hush money” case brought against former President Donald Trump. As a convicted felon, will the jury find Cohen a credible witness? 4:30pm- Alan Dershowitz—The Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law, Emeritus at Harvard University Law School—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the “hush money” case being brought against former President Donald Trump. Professor Dershowitz reacts to Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen's testimony—emphasizing that when Cohen “moves his lips, he lies.” He explains: “Never in the history of the United States has anyone ever been prosecuted for failure to disclose the payment of ‘hush money'…this is a one off.” You can find Professor Dershowitz's book, “Get Trump: The Threat to Civil Liberties, Due Process, and Our Constitutional Rule of Law,” here: https://a.co/d/g5v1Pau 4:40pm- While leaving court on Monday, Donald Trump said the case being brought against him “is all politics.” 4:50pm- While appearing in Wildwood, NJ, former President Donald Trump joked about having the “world's best hotdog” and said of a rise in prices caused by Bidenomics, “I don't have bacon anymore. It's too expensive!”

A couple of terms have found their way into the MS lexicon and they have left some people living with MS feeling confused and even frightened. If you've been diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS and you've always assumed that disease progression only occurs at the time of a relapse, you may be wondering what progression independent of relapse activity, or PIRA, means and how it may or may not impact your MS journey. And if you are someone whose MS seems relatively stable and well-managed, you may be wondering whether your central nervous system is under some sort of silent attack from smoldering MS.  Professor Alan Thompson joins me this week to shine a bright light on what, for many, are anxiety-inducing terms and help us understand what they are actually attempting to describe. Professor Thompson is the recipient of virtually every high honor and award that's given in the field of multiple sclerosis research, including the John Dystel Prize for MS Research in 2017, the Sobek Research Prize in 2020, and the 2021 Charcot Award, which recognizes a lifetime of achievement in outstanding research into understanding and treating MS. We're also sharing results of a study that suggests that kids and teens who are living with MS may experience better outcomes if they are started on a high-efficacy disease-modifying therapy. We'll tell you about a study that adds to the evidence that autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may be a highly effective treatment that allows some people living with MS to live symptom-free and even return to the workforce. We're sharing the details of an AI tool that can predict an individual's disease course, while we're talking about survey results that show some strong push-back from the patient community when it comes to using artificial intelligence in the diagnostic process. And we'll tell you about a study that shows that caffeine may improve balance, mobility, and even quality of life for people living with MS. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??! This Week: What is "Progression Independent of Relapse Activity"?  1:31 STUDY: High-efficacy disease-modifying therapies are shown to be effective in treating pediatric onset MS  3:02 STUDY: Compelling evidence for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as an effective treatment for MS  6:49 An AI tool has been developed that can predict an individual's MS disease course  9:17 SURVEY: Some people have mixed feelings about using AI in diagnosing illness  11:47 STUDY: Caffeine is shown to improve balance and mobility in people with MS  14:38 Professor Alan Thompson helps define a couple of terms that people with MS may find confusing and even worrisome   16:47 Share this episode  28:15 Have you downloaded the free RealTalk MS app?  28:35 SHARE THIS EPISODE OF REALTALK MS Just copy this link & paste it into your text or email: https://realtalkms.com/339 ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE CONVERSATION I've always thought about the RealTalk MS podcast as a conversation.

Professor Alan Dershowitz—The Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard University—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his new book, “War Against the Jews: How to End Hamas Barbarism.” Plus, Professor Dershowitz weighs-in on the civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump and the disturbing number of Ivy League students openly showing support for the terror organization Hamas. During the conversation, Dershowitz is highly critical of former President Barack Obama and his administration's policies that ultimately served to empower Iran and endanger Israel.
