Interview: McCaskill
asked him about describing certain supplements on his show as a "magic weight-loss cure," and "the No. 1 miracle in a bottle." She said,
"I don't get why you say this stuff because you know it's not true. So why, when you have this amazing megaphone and this amazing ability to communicate, why would you cheapen your show by saying things like that?"
And:
"I get that you do a lot of good on your show, but I don't get why you need to say this stuff because you know it's not true."
His (weak) answers:
"I actually do personally believe in the items I talk about in the show. I passionately study them. I recognize that often times they

And:
"My job, I feel, on the show is to be a cheerleader for the audience when they don't think they have hope and they don't think they can make it happen.
