Was Hunter really running the White House? He played Biden a few times. Here's why we don't believe it. Ron Klain was in charge of Ebola, the auto pen, plus he was chief of staff. Liz Warren is bigger than you think. Pay attention to the silence gaps. Anita Dunn was heavily involved, and has ties to Obot. So much money was made on the side. Big news coming from NATO. The old guard has been largely dismantled. Dims do it to themselves. Conspiracy theory cultists. Eco terrorism should be carefully watched by all. Congress is not doing what they are supposed to do. Desperation makes them pull out all the stops. Doing good for the country gets you destroyed. Now, we will see the concerning pockets of action. Hunter's is the fall guy. Anti Trump narrative is raging. People on the right are caught up in tax graft of all kinds. Trust now comes hard. J6 was an operation. There are just two reasons for proximity. Karen, Anita and Harry. All Dunn's. June is not going to be nice. Have faith. This has all been orchestrated. It's not looking good for a lot of people. Remember, it's above us to gloat, and always remain focused on pursuing the truth.

WATCH FULL VIDEO INTERVIEW HEREIn this episode of Lab Rats to Unicorns, John Flavin is joined by Dr. Kate Rubins, NASA astronaut, microbiologist, Army Major, and the first person to sequence DNA in space. With a PhD in cancer biology from Stanford and groundbreaking research on viruses like Ebola and smallpox, Dr. Rubins has spent her career at the intersection of biology, innovation, and exploration. From her early work in infectious disease labs to running her own research facility in the Democratic Republic of Congo—and ultimately conducting over 200 experiments aboard the International Space Station—Dr. Rubins exemplifies what happens when science meets mission. In this episode, Kate reflects on her path to becoming an astronaut (spoiler: she applied as a joke), what it's like to conduct molecular biology experiments in microgravity, and how the constraints of space research are driving innovation in diagnostics, biotech, and health access on Earth.
Listen, we've seen 9-1-1 make some wild choices before—but this season finale? Nah.In this week's chaotic, heartfelt, and occasionally unhinged 9-1-1 Bonus Episode, subtitled "Bobby Deserved Better and So Did We," we're joined by special guest Sofia (@sadgayeddie) to unpack the emotional aftermath of the 9-1-1 season 8 finale. Spoiler alert: we are not okay.From Bobby's sudden death (with super Ebola?!) to half a dozen storylines getting steamrolled in a montage, and a production timeline that feels like it was assembled by raccoons with a typewriter, we've got a lot to say. The writing? Sloppy. The mourning? Nonexistent. The audience? Mad.There's rage, there's laughter, there's speculation on Buddie (as always), and a whole lot of love for Christopher Diaz.Expect unfiltered rants, fandom conspiracies, righteous indignation, and—of course—a little hope that season 9 will somehow pull it together (doubtful, but we dream). If you're confused, furious, or just here for the catharsis, hit play.xoxo,FotRFind us on the Internet: https://linktr.ee/fandomontherocksSupport the pod: Patreon.com/fandomontherocksCreate your own podcast today with Zencastr and share your story. #madewithZencastr

Preorder the Book: https://amzn.to/3RzDcaH Checkout our episode with Matt from last year when you are done. We sit down with Matt Hongoltz-Hetling, a Pulitzer Prize finalist and George Polk Award winner renowned for his incisive local reporting. As a reporter for the Valley News in New Hampshire, Matt brings unparalleled depth to every story he tackles. His bylines appear in Popular Science, Foreign Policy, USA Today, and Atavist Magazine, showcasing his versatility across major media outlets. Praised for immersive storytelling that transports listeners from Maine's Governor's Mansion to Ebola wards in Sierra Leone, his narrative features blend rigorous investigation with human-centered nuance. In This Episode We dive into Matt's journey from exposing deplorable conditions in federally subsidized Section 8 housing—work that spurred state investigations and reforms—to his explorations of fringe medicine in his second book, If It Sounds Like a Quack…, published in April 2023. We also reflect on his debut book, A Libertarian Walks into a Bear (September 2020), which examines the collision of libertarian ideals and wildlife management in a small New Hampshire town. As a Pulitzer Center grantee, Matt's long-form journalism has spotlighted flood insurance challenges for riverboat casinos in Missouri and maternal health crises during the Ebola outbreak. In 2019, he received the Distinguished Science Journalism award from the American Meteorological Association and was voted Maine Journalist of the Year. Throughout our conversation, we unpack the ethics of investigative storytelling, the role of narrative in driving public policy, and the craft of turning complex issues into compelling human stories.

Dr. Jeremy Silver, MD, Medical Director of Emergency Medicine at Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital, joins Dean for this week's health update.

This week: should the assisted dying bill be killed off? Six months after Kim Leadbeater MP launched the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, a group of Labour MPs have pronounced it ‘irredeemably flawed and not fit to become law'. They say the most basic aspects of the bill – having gone through its committee stage – do not hold up to scrutiny. Dan Hitchens agrees, writing in the magazine this week that ‘it's hard to summarise the committee's proceedings except with a kind of Homeric catalogue of rejected amendments' accompanied by a ‘series of disconcerting public statements'. With a third reading vote approaching, what could it tell us about the country we live in? Dan joins the podcast alongside the Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie, who provides the Spectator's diary for the week. (1:34) Next: where are all the rabbits? If you've noticed fewer rabbits across the countryside that might be due to a killer pandemic that has appeared on Britain's shores. Henry Williams raises awareness in the magazine this week about Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease (RHD), which has a mortality rate of between 70 and 100% and has already left rabbits endangered in countries like Spain. The disease can kill suddenly and is particularly prolific within wild rabbits, which are less likely to be vaccinated than household pets. How concerned should we be? Henry joined the podcast to discuss. (20:56) And finally: are creme eggs delicious – or disgusting? ‘How do you eat yours?' asks the famous Cadbury's advert for creme eggs. James Innes-Smith, writing his notes on creme eggs in the magazine this week, responds ‘stamping on them in disgust'. James might not be a fan but most of the British public are – over 220 million of them are sold in the UK each year. Even more astonishing given they're only available to buy for a third of the year. Why are they loved so much? James joined the podcast alongside The Guardian's Lucy Mangan, who makes the case for creme eggs. (27:09) Presented by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

The Author Events Series presents Dr. Anthony Fauci | On Call: A Doctor's Journey in Public Service THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT! In Conversation with Dave Davies Anthony Fauci is arguably the most famous - and most revered - doctor in the world today. His role guiding America sanely and calmly through Covid (and through the torrents of Trump) earned him the trust of millions during one of the most terrifying periods in modern American history, but this was only the most recent of the global epidemics in which Dr. Fauci played a major role. His crucial role in researching HIV and bringing AIDS into sympathetic public view and his leadership in navigating the Ebola, SARS, West Nile, and anthrax crises, make him truly an American hero. His memoir reaches back to his boyhood in Brooklyn, New York, and carries through decades of caring for critically ill patients, navigating the whirlpools of Washington politics, and behind-the-scenes advising and negotiating with seven presidents on key issues from global AIDS relief to infectious disease preparedness at home. ON CALL will be an inspiration for readers who admire and are grateful to him and for those who want to emulate him in public service. He is the embodiment of "speaking truth to power," with dignity and results. Dave Davies is a regular contributor and guest host for NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross. In addition to his work on Fresh Air, Davies spent more than three decades covering city government and state and local politics in Philadelphia, for WHYY-FM, KYW Newsradio and the Philadelphia Daily News. Davies is a graduate of the University of Texas. The 2024/25 Author Events Series is presented by Comcast.

About this episode: Amidst an ongoing outbreak of a deadly clade of mpox in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs has been part of the response team. Working with local partners, CCP has developed community outreach and strategic communications campaigns to help protect people, reduce transmission, and get the outbreak under control. When USAID funding was abruptly canceled, the program was granted a waiver to continue work. But now, as the waiver faces expiration, the program's future is uncertain which could put the DRC, Africa, and even the world at risk of an mpox epidemic. Guests: Dr. Didier Mbayi Kangudie is the Chief of Party for the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He spent 11 years with USAID as a senior health advisor and has more than 25 years of experience blending clinical work, public health and global health programming. Shannon McAfee is team lead for Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs country programs in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Guinea, which include projects focused on integrated health, the GHSA portfolio, education, Ebola, and the COVID-19 response. She has 25 years of experience designing, leading and implementing health and development projects across 16 countries in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.

So I have to ask you, what do you think, would you ever eat bugs and/or insects? Does the idea of eating crunchy grasshoppers or other creepy crawly insects sound appealing to you? Personally I’d rather eat some nicely cooked insects seasoned with spices and sauces than organ meats from high quality animals.

In this episode, we explore the collaboration between Rimsha Minhaz, an MPH student with a background in dentistry, and Dr. Wilson Wang, a pediatrician, health professional, and founder of WD Home and CEO of World Doctors. Driven by a desire to address disparities in healthcare access—a passion ignited by her experiences in outreach programs in South India—Rimsha pursued a Master of Public Health degree at NYU GPH. It was at NYU GPH that Rimsha's path intersected with Dr. Wang's when she took his course on data-driven decision making. Inspired by Dr. Wang's dedication to public health, including his work during the Ebola outbreak, Rimsha is now working with him through WD Home on a project focused on older person care management. This is a story of how passion meets purpose, and how a new generation of public health leaders is shaping a healthier future.

This week, we're swimming through a tidal wave of chaos, starting with the rollercoaster of comments I've been getting lately. Last week, Jeanette was tossing shade, but this week, the love is flowing from RC Kelly and Cordell—though my new pal Munchlax hit me with an iconic "you're so gay." Thanks, buddy. Real helpful.Meanwhile, Elon Musk is under attack (again), and naturally, he's blaming mental illness for people blowing up Teslas and spray-painting swastikas on superchargers. Shocker, right? Apparently, it's not because people might be a teensy bit upset about Doge-related cuts affecting veterans, food banks, medical research, or that accidental cancellation of Ebola research funding. "Oopsie" doesn't quite cut it, Elon.And speaking of Doge, Musk and his buddy Trump's latest financial freeze means farmers and nonprofits like Passa in Pennsylvania haven't received funding for months. Now, their employees can't get paid—which means neither can I. Elon, bro, now you've crossed the line by messing with my wallet. What are we doing?In lighter news (well, sort of), I stumbled onto American Idol after like 17 years, only to realize it's basically TikTok auditions now. Nobody actually "wins," except maybe Kelly Clarkson, but that's ancient history. This week, viral TikTok star Sophie Powers performed her masterpiece, "Shut the F*** Up," which I hate to admit actually slaps. Laundry, groceries, traffic—shut up indeed. Still, the show's become nothing more than influencers trying desperately to make a 60-second viral clip.Of course, no episode is complete without food opinions. The MD Foodie Boys debated wings, and let's just say if you're ordering honey barbecue, we're not friends. Shout-out to Alibis in Carlisle for perfect wings, RIP thanks to a drunk college kid. Wingstop's lazy employees ruined my order so many times they put my name on the wall—free wings forever, I guess? Haven't cashed in yet; don't want to seem petty.Finally, in tech news, the Pebble smartwatch is back from the dead—thankfully without any AI nonsense. It has a 30-day battery, looks retro-cool, and is totally open-source. Apple, take notes: my wrist is ready.*************************************************************✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue*************************************************************✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD
A History of the World in Six Plagues: How Contagion, Class, and Captivity Shaped Us, from Cholera to COVID-19 by Edna Bonhomme Amazon.com Ednabonhomme.com A deeply reported, insightful, and literary account of humankind's battles with epidemic disease, and their outsized role in deepening inequality along racial, ethnic, class, and gender lines—in the vein of Medical Apartheid and Killing the Black Body. Epidemic diseases enter the world by chance, but they become catastrophic by human design. With clear-eyed research and lush prose, A History of the World in Six Plagues shows that throughout history, outbreaks of disease have been exacerbated by and gone on to further expand the racial, economic, and sociopolitical divides we allow to fester in times of good health. Princeton-trained historian Edna Bonhomme's examination of humanity's disastrous treatment of pandemic disease takes us across place and time from Port-au-Prince to Tanzania, and from plantation-era America to our modern COVID-19-scarred world to unravel shocking truths about the patterns of discrimination in the face of disease. Based on in-depth research and cultural analysis, Bonhomme explores Cholera, HIV/AIDS, the Spanish Flu, Sleeping Sickness, Ebola, and COVID-19 amidst the backdrop of unequal public policy. But much more than a remarkable history, A History of the World in Six Plaguesis also a rising call for change.ABOUT Edna Bonhomme is a historian of science, culture writer, and journalist based in Berlin, Germany. She writes cultural criticism, literary essays, book reviews, and opinion pieces. Her writing explores how people navigate the difficult states of health—especially subjects that discuss contagious outbreaks, medical experiments, reproductive assistance, or illness narratives. She is a contributing writer for Frieze Magazine. Her writing has appeared in Al Jazeera, The Atlantic, The Baffler, Berliner Zeitung, Esquire, Frieze, The Guardian, London Review of Books, The Nation, Washington Post, among other publications.
Measles is one of the most contagious infectious diseases known to science – more contagious than Ebola, smallpox or COVID-19. Declining vaccination rates over the past few years, plus a recent outbreak in West Texas, have public health experts concerned. Here's what to know about the science of this virus — plus how to protect against it. For the latest, host Regina G. Barber talks to NPR health correspondent Maria Godoy.Interested in other stories about public health?

**Discussion begins at 4:50**2020 will be a year that lives in infamy for our generation. It is the year the workers were asked to stay home and children asked not to go to school. It is the year that healthcare workers showing up to work in unprecedented times fighting a virus that they didn't know how to fight. It is the year of "don't wear a mask and don't worry" to "wear a mask, wash your groceries, and oh my gosh - it could spread through your eyeballs". It was a pivotal election year. It was a year with protests and riots were rampant. It is the year of fear, and hysteria, and TikTok popping off. And all of that leads back to a pesky virus called SARS-COVID-2, or as people know it - COVID-19. So where did this virus start? Is there still controversy over the origin story? What does the trail of money say? And mostly, was the government just covering up a huge, colossal mistake? Let's travel back in time to revisit the story of COVID-19. Don't worry, no mask is required while listening to this podcast. Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA
It's a rough time for people who worry about infectious diseases. A new study shows bird flu is more widespread in U.S. cows than previously thought. Around 250 Americans have been infected with measles, including two people who died. And globally, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is struggling to contain a Mpox outbreak, Uganda is battling Ebola, Tanzania is fighting Marburg, and Lassa fever is spreading in East Africa. In the face of all that, the Trump administration has gutted funding for programs that help protect Americans from these types of diseases. Anne Rimoin, an epidemiology professor at UCLA and director of the Center for Global and Immigrant Health, talks about what's worrying her.And in headlines: Senate Democrats said they'll vote against a House bill to keep the government open past Friday, new government data showed egg prices hit another record last month, and President Donald Trump hosted the Irish Prime at the White House amid a growing trade war with the European Union.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8Support victims of the fire – votesaveamerica.com/reliefWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Bryson Banks reluctantly enters his 37th year while Annie Sharp quizzes him about life lessons, revealing his regrets about wasting money on "materialistic shit" to impress people who didn't care. The couple debates Kim Kardashian's controversial butt pads and nipple bras with Bryson dramatically demonstrating what men's equivalent "shaft underwear" might look like. While discussing Marine Corps humanitarian missions, Annie confesses to once making Ebola-shaped cookies for a classmate, leaving Bryson horrified. The episode takes a tense turn when they reference a recent conflict they're "handling," before awkwardly changing the subject and ending the show. Between Annie's calculations about how old they'll be as grandparents and Bryson's revelation that he secretly considered Botox, their age gap dynamics continue to entertain despite whatever mystery argument is clearly lingering.Find us @agegapytozpod.Theme song by DYLVN.

We dig into that psychotic AI video of Trump Gaza, and the Goth Ninjas AI theme song. Elon Musk lied about resuming ebola prevention. Donald and RFK might pull funding for the Moderna bird flu vaccine. USAID is about to be eliminated. Large scale layoffs are next. Social Security on the chopping block. Veterans aren't safe either. Bob goes off about anti-woke comedians and the persecution of trans people. You Were Warned! and a new jingle from Chris Kolling.

In Texas, an unvaccinated child just died of Measels—the first reported death related to the disease's recent outbreak. This came up at President Trump's cabinet meeting on Wednesday, and the results were troubling. After Elon Musk admitted that his cuts had briefly closed down Ebola prevention, anti-vax Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. was surprisingly cavalier about the outbreak, and didn't bother urging Americans to get vaccinated. Trump said nothing to reassure the nation. We talked to Stephanie Psaki, a former top White House official who specialized in pandemic response. She explains what we want from public officials at moments like these—and why Musk's wanton cuts to government, the anti-vax views of RFK, and the cavalier approach to public health from all three of them add up to a picture that's “terrifying.” Looking for More from the DSR Network?

In a Cabinet meeting, Elon Musk defended the actions his team has made to cut government jobs, but public health experts say Musk is wrong. USAID's Ebola prevention efforts have been largely frozen since the agency was mostly shuttered last month. Laura Barrón-López discussed more with Dr. Craig Spencer, who survived Ebola after treating patients in Guinea with Doctors Without Borders in 2014.

David Waldman gives us a few more things to think about, laugh about, get kind of grumpy about, on today's KITM. Guess what? Dr. Greg Dworkin says America's got a fever! And the only prescription... is more F-bombs! Covid “alarmists” were closer to the truth than anyone else. (IMO, “alarmist” has been pretty much the way to go for around a decade.) DOGE douches unplugged our healthcare ventilator and were surprised after the heart wouldn't reboot. Oops! Ebola prevention was shut off… There! Fixed, good as new… They weren't in America, anyhow. Speaking of Americans, Billions in professional services contracts in Veterans Affairs were to be cut for… whatever. Then someone checked into it and discovered that they were doing some really important stuff there. Who'd guess that so many consequential things would be actually happening? Elon will have to check in with “DataRepublican”, the new Q of MAGA, more often. Whatever your problem is, Elon Musk has got just the thing to fix it. DOGE noticed that the FAA misspelled “Verizon” on their contracts and helpfully corrected it to “Starlink”. You'd be amazed at how many uses Starlink can fulfill. And best for Elon, they each can be turned off at any time, no problem! Even so, for some reason, many in Washington feel pwnd by Musk, as do a lot of others. Speaking of trolls, who are also rapists, human traffickers and child pornographers, Andrew Tate and his brother are arriving in the US, and will probably be Medal of Honor recipients by mid-March. Election denier, rabid insurrectionist toady Paul Ingrassia is now Trump's guy at Homeland Security. Tariffs on Mexico and Canada will go into effect March 4 as scheduled because Donald K. Trump isn't becoming re-glued and re-hinged anytime soon. As this our Axis forms, is it patrimonialism supported by anarcholibertarian capitalists or just morons in the moment?

The foreign aid freeze, destruction of USAID, and withdrawal from the World Health Organization have severely undermined America's ability to fight infectious diseases at home and abroad. With outbreaks of the deadly Marburg and Ebola viruses underway in East Africa and a fast-mutating bird flu spreading across the world, these moves by the Trump administration have left Americans highly vulnerable. I'm joined in today's live chat by Dr. Emily Smith, an epidemiologist at Duke University. She is a fellow Substacker who runs Friendly Neighbor Epidemiologist and is the author of the book The Science of the Good Samaritan: Thinking Bigger about Loving our Neighbors. We kick off with something of a global tour of concerning infectious diseases before having a wide-ranging conversation about how recent moves by the Trump administration have incapacitated our system of disease surveillance and pandemic defense.
