  • Pls retire soon Joe and Becky….

    Please *REPORT* the news and not share your *PERSONAL* views constantly, the viewers are not interested in your biased opinions!!!

    Joe “MAGA”Kernan might as well start working for Karoline Leavitt as her assistant… Becky Quick never has the backbone to stand up to Joe to counter his viewpoints. Such a horrible show!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jeff Bezos & Andrew Ross Sorkin at Blue Origin 5/20/26
Q: What is your view on wealth inequality and how do you propose addressing it?
Bezos argues for a balanced approach that recognizes the value of entrepreneurship and the need for a more progressive tax system, but stresses that simply raising taxes on the wealthy won't solve underlying issues; instead, he emphasizes encouraging innovation, reducing regulatory drag, and channeling resources to empower those starting new ventures.
Scott Bessent From Beijing 5/14/26
Q: What's your take on how the US should navigate the AI revolution with China?
The guest emphasizes that the US should maintain leadership in AI while collaborating with China on guardrails and safety standards, ensuring innovation isn't stifled while addressing vulnerabilities in large language models.
The Hantavirus Risk with Dr. Scott Gottlieb 5/11/26
Q: What about the potential leadership changes at FDA and related policy implications like vaping product enforcement?
He expresses a cautious view, noting ongoing upheaval at the agency and the importance of strong career leadership; on vaping policy, he discusses enforcement discretion that could flood the market with products while applications are reviewed, underscoring the need for principled governance and age verification.
The Hantavirus Risk with Dr. Scott Gottlieb 5/11/26
Q: Could vaccines be deployed, or are therapeutics and management the more likely path?
Gottlieb suggests that while vaccines may have a role in outbreak ring-fencing, the current emphasis is on therapeutics and immune-modulating approaches (e.g., anti-IL-6 therapies) plus supportive care rather than mass vaccination, given transmission dynamics and outbreak context.
The Hantavirus Risk with Dr. Scott Gottlieb 5/11/26
Q: What is the mortality rate and what factors drive outcomes in hantavirus cases?
He notes a case fatality rate around 40 to 50 percent for this strain, with outcomes influenced by underlying health, the rapidity of care, and the patient's ability to withstand a cytokine storm; pulmonary involvement is a key driver of severity, and aggressive supportive care can improve survival.
