  • Great until the gold adverts

    What possessed you to run an entire episode like that to push gold despite the obvious conflict of interest? It hardly matters that you declared it, the least you could do. So disappointing.

    ‘Facts Matter’, until money matters more?

    Can’t be MAGA anymore. It’s obvious we just go from one crime family to another. Bet there is a notable comparison with Mob Crime family’s traits rise to power and , Bill with Hillary. Biden inc. And now the Trump family doing it all on steroids. A natural progression of power and corruption. Bet you could shed some light on that. All the way up to stopping in Albania , and just being so full of it. One just says. Hey this is ours now too.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Did a Cold War Tick Experiment Help Spread Lyme Disease?
Q: What would you tell somebody who believes sort of in the, what would you call it, like the mainstream medical consensus that Lyme disease was just sort of endemic to that area and of the ticks in that area for a long time?
Newby cited early patient records, an unusual cluster of symptoms, multiple pathogens, and biosecurity indicators she says are consistent with an outbreak that warrants further investigation.
Did a Cold War Tick Experiment Help Spread Lyme Disease?
Q: When he spoke with you and he said that he was asked to bury his finding of the rickettsia in these ticks, did he tell you who exactly asked him to keep that part out?
Newby said Burgdorfer did not identify who asked him to omit the finding. She said he appeared afraid to provide details and had told others that he feared deportation.
Big Gold Moves: French Central Bank Moves 129 Tons of Gold out of US; Dutch Central Bank Moves 86 Tons
Q: How would you currently describe the gold market for the general audience given the recent spikes and the current hovering range?
The market remains bullish overall with a long-term structural uptrend, though there was a normal near-term correction. Factors like geopolitics, inflation, and central bank purchases support a gradual rise, and current levels still present a favorable entry point for investors.
Supreme Court Throws Out Limit on Federal Prisoner Appeals
Q: What are the implications of the Supreme Court's ruling for federal prisoners?
The ruling allows federal prisoners to appeal their sentences multiple times if the legal context changes, which reinforces their rights under due process and potentially leads to reduced sentences based on new legal interpretations.
Another Chinese Researcher Arrested for Sneaking Hazardous Biological Material Into US
Q: Do you think that it's high time we, as a country, reconsider whether they should even be here?
The host asks if allowing scientists from a communist state into American institutions for research is a good idea, paralleling historical sentiments during the Cold War.
