    The hosts say that the show is posted but once again it’s 3 pm on a Saturday and none of the three shows have been posted as a podcast. There social media coordinator takes to many vacations with no back up.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FBI Retribution
Q: Can you give your doctor's assessment of ivermectin as a hantavirus treatment?
Ivermectin is not an effective treatment for hantavirus, and there are no proven vaccines for it; the best approach is supportive care and medical intervention as needed.
FBI Retribution
Q: Dr. Jernigan, can you explain what hantavirus is and why this outbreak matters now?
Hantavirus is a rodent-borne virus that can cause cardiopulmonary syndrome; while dangerous, it typically does not spread easily between people, and the immediate public risk is low, though vigilance and proper infection control are essential.
Eric Holder on Trump DOJ: ‘It is dangerous’
Q: What reforms does Holder suggest for the DOJ to repair its independence and effectiveness?
He argues for personnel changes, a return to core DOJ principles, and potentially legislative reforms to prevent weaponization of the department and ensure accountability and transparency.
Eric Holder on Trump DOJ: ‘It is dangerous’
Q: What does the Supreme Court decision mean for the Voting Rights Act going forward?
Holder describes the decision as a continuation of a radical path the Court has taken, weakening federal tools like pre-clearance and increasing the risk of minority disenfranchisement, urging Congress to pass stronger protections.
Mentalist at White House Correspondents' Dinner
Q: Oz, what can you show us tonight that might reveal what's on the president's mind?
Oz explains that his act focuses on psychology and perception, not divination, and that his goal is to illustrate how people think under pressure rather than to expose hidden truths.
