  • Great work!

    We need to get the truth out, you can’t never tell what the truth actually is especially these days so the only way to really get to the bottom of things is to interview people and talk with people all over the country and let people decide for themselves what is true, and this is one great way of doing it!

    Keep interviewing great people and let them tell their story!

Q: What class is this ROTC senior military science class?
It's the senior ROTC military science class taught by Colonel Shaw, focusing on combatant command briefs and transportation/logistics topics.
#240 Dr. David Fajgenbaum - Can AI Find Cures to Rare Diseases Using Existing Medicine?
Q: What roadblocks exist in the current medical establishment to drug repurposing, and how can individuals push for these changes?
The main barrier is profitability: most existing drugs are generic, so there's little financial incentive to repurpose them. The solution lies in a combination of philanthropy, government funding, and innovative models (like ARPA-H partnerships) to subsidize and de-risk repurposing efforts and scale outcomes.

Q: Is he for this?
The guest expresses uncertainty and suggests there are multiple voices and positions, not a clear stance from Rubio.
