  • Scott Hugo 🤦🏼‍♀️

    Dealing with chronic disease is no joke. Playing the victim card and ‘your privilege’ is optional. You don’t have ‘the privilege’ to pay your bills or have a spouse that takes care of you, you are fortunate that you have those. The ‘covid pandemic’ is over, otherwise everyone who has complications from the flu need to tie it back to the 1918/1919 flu pandemic. There are always people who will be dealt the difficult hand from any disease, it is how you continue life that either moves you forwar... more

  • You guys are smart

    What is the reason for the explosive increase in Autism? How do you propose to stop waste, fraud and abuse in the Federal Government? Democrats generally oppose tracking it down.

  • Great pod except for co-host Katelyn

    I know that she is extremely smart, but Katelyn’s nasally voice and repetitive manner of speaking, “I mean…” have really turned me off. Abdul is great and the subjects are interesting and important. Please consider a new co-host or none!

  • It was NORTH Carolina, Kaitlyn

    Yes, Kaitlyn, South Carolina did experience some damage from Hurricane Helene BUT it was NORTH CAROLINA that was DEVASTATED by Hurricane Helene. See you tube for plenty of videos on how Asheville and the surrounding area was destroyed. I’m sure residents of Pacific Palisades would be upset if repeatedly referred to PP as San Diego. It shouldn’t be that hard to do a little research before you do a broadcast. Signed, Area Code 828.

A Bull-DOGE-er to HHS
Q: How do you think about the ethical conflict of working under RFK Jr. now?

We Still Don’t Have a CDC Director. Measles Doesn’t Care.

We Still Don’t Have a CDC Director. Measles Doesn’t Care.

It wasn't airtight; background research likely revealed concerns over his past vaccine skepticism, which was politically untenable given the rising measles outbreak in Texas.
We Still Don’t Have a CDC Director. Measles Doesn’t Care.
Q: How has the RFK responded to this?
Not well; he spread falsehoods about vaccines and focused on their side effects rather than emphasizing the protection they offer against measles.
