The world is still in mourning following this weekend's terror attack targeting a Hanukkah celebration on Australia's Bondi Beach, leaving at least fifteen dead and many others wounded. It was the worst attack targeting Jews since the Hamas October 7th massacre that triggered Israel's war in Gaza. In a country with stringent gun laws, many people have wondered how this occurred. It's also raised questions about whether countries are doing enough to address antisemitism. Jewish and Israel advocate, and Founder of Mor Media Group, Mor Greenberg, joins the Rundown to discuss how Australia and other nations need to do more to protect Jewish people, and she shares her personal connection to some of the victims of this weekend's horrible attack.

Medicus Pharma CEO Dr Raza Bokhari joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has formally submitted an FDA Commissioner's National Priority Voucher (CNPV) application on behalf of its partner SkinJect, seeking expedited regulatory review for the Doxorubicin Microneedle Array (D-MNA) a novel, non-invasive treatment for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin. The submission includes a detailed Statement of Interest setting out how SkinJect aligns with the FDA's highest national priorities, including improved cancer-care accessibility, reduced treatment costs, and the urgent unmet needs in rare diseases such as Gorlin Syndrome, where no approved therapies currently exist. Dr. Bokhari explained that, if granted, the CNPV voucher would allow Medicus and SkinJect to participate in a commissioner-led FDA review process that dramatically reduces regulatory timelines. Under this program, a drug developer's final application could be evaluated in 1–2 months, compared to the traditional 10–12-month review cycle. Unlike the standard review pathway—where an application is routed through multiple FDA divisions—the new CNPV pilot brings together specialists from across the agency into a single cross-functional expert team, enabling faster, more coordinated decision-making. The FDA intends to award only a limited number of vouchers in the program's first year, specifically to products that directly support U.S. national health priorities. In addition to the time-saving benefits, qualifying therapies may also be eligible for accelerated approval, provided they meet applicable legal and clinical criteria. Medicus Pharma believes SkinJect is well positioned for inclusion. The Doxorubicin Microneedle Array offers a localized, cost-effective, and non-surgical alternative to current BCC treatments. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common cancer in the United States, with more than five million new cases annually, representing a substantial public-health burden. The company views the CNPV program as an important opportunity to advance a U.S.-developed cancer therapy that strengthens national goals of accessibility, safety, affordability, and quality of care. Dr. Bokhari emphasized that gaining entry into the pilot would help accelerate the delivery of a much-needed medical innovation to both general BCC patients and underserved rare-disease communities. #proactiveinvestors #nasdaq #mdcx #tsxv #mdcx #pharma #Biotech #CancerTreatment #ClinicalTrials #FDAApproval #SkinCancer #HealthcareInnovation #Investing #MedicalResearch #SkinCancer #BasalCellCarcinoma #BiotechNews #CancerResearch #GorlinSyndrome #BasalCellCarcinoma #CompassionateUse #FDAApproval #RareDiseaseTreatment #NoninvasiveTherapy #BiotechNews
A couple of weeks ago, the FDA Commissioner published a WSJ oped “The FDA Liberates Women's Hormone Replacement Therapy” (←gift link) and, with other FDA colleagues, a JAMA essay entitled “Updated Labeling for Menopausal Hormone Therapy” (open-access). That change, and the data cited, led to a series of articles in the days that followed, such as at STAT News “FDA reverses decades-old warning on hormone therapy products for menopause. Agency says the treatments o!fer heart, brain, and bone health benefits” and at the Washington Post “The FDA finally corrects its error on menopause hormone therapy. Women have been needlessly scared away from effective treatments.” If you read through these links, you'll be confused. Does MHT have proven cognitive benefits? What about a study from 1991 that showed ~50% reduction of fatal heart events with MHT? Or the 35% decreased risk of Alzheimer's disease? Or the breast cancer increased risk attributed to medroxyprogesterone acetate?I turned to my go-to gynecologist truth teller, Dr. Jen Gunter, to get her review of the evidence. This is a complex topic, with old data from the 2002 Women's Heath Initiative (WHI), new reports since, population level analysis, changes in preparations of MHT including local delivery, and much more.Here is our conversation which isn't just about MHT but includes “Big Wellness” marketing direct to middle aged women, the new FDA approved drug for hot flashes, the $14 million cut of the NIH's Office of Women's Health , marked increase in philanthropic support of women's health research, the Surgeon General nominee, ovarian failure, and a lightning round on proven benefits of MHT.Here's a brief clip on her views of the women's health “wellness” predatorsWe also discussed the reasons for Dr. Gunter's planned move next year back to Canada after practicing gynecology for 3 decades in the United States. I referred to a recent GT I wrote about the WHI and the potential favorable impact of MHT on the immune system, as suggested by new data on organ clocks. That finding, which has been replicated, may be linked to healthy aging, extending healthspan.****************************Thanks to the >190,000 Ground Truths subscribers from every US state and 210 countries.

The new FDA Commissioner's National Priority Voucher (CNPV) pilot program promises to reduce recipients' application review times from 10-12 months to just 1-2 months. As part of the Trump administration's push for most favored nation (MFN) pricing, drug affordability is one criterion for vouchers, marking FDA's entry into the drug pricing fray. In this episode of Connected With Latham, Washington, D.C. partner Chris Schott and counsel Monica Groat explore the voucher awards in detail and discuss how the accelerated review period might affect launch strategies, whether companies with no voucher will be disadvantaged, and potential risks and concerns.

Dr. Mark McClellan has served as a Member of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But his experiences before, and accomplishments following these leadership roles at the highest levels of government health policy are equally important to his perspective on the healthcare ecosystem – especially during a time of rapid policy change.Dr. McClellan always intended on pursuing a medical degree and entered a joint Harvard-MIT program that took him in a slightly different direction. He ended up studying economics and the rising cost of healthcare at MIT. He ultimately earned a medical degree from the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, a Ph.D. in economics from MIT, and a master's in public administration from Harvard's Kennedy School.Dr. McClellan began his career at the Treasury Department in the Clinton Administration, and returned to public service under the George W. Bush Administration where he led the FDA and CMS. Today, Dr. McClellan is the Robert J. Margolis, M.D., Professor of Business, Medicine and Policy at Duke University and the founding Director of the Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy. His work centers on improving health care through policy and research, with a focus on payment reforms, quality, value, and biomedical innovation.With his expertise in medicine, economics and public policy, Dr. McClellan talked to Keith Figlioli in this episode of Healthcare is Hard to share his perspective on adapting to rapid change in the current healthcare landscape. Topics they discussed include:Misalignment of innovation and outcomes. While advancements in digital health are coming to market faster than ever before, Dr. McClellan says there's still a lack of technology truly centered on keeping patients healthy. He says traditional payment methods make it hard to support this type of innovation. For example, advancements in AI are helping physicians gather information for prior authorization requests, and ambient scribing saves time with note taking and administration. But these technologies essentially help providers see more fee-for-service patients or bill for more profitable services. He argues that more outcome-oriented payments are needed to advance technology-embedded care models. The evolution of value-based care. After Congress passed the Medicare Modernization Act in 2003 to establish Medicare Advantage, Dr. McClellan became administrator of CMS at the President's request to lead its implementation. With unique insight from leading some of the earliest VBC programs, he shared his thoughts on the speed of adoption and why it hasn't happened faster. He discussed how early MA models needed to be based on existing fee-for-service infrastructure, his surprise that not much has changed, and his optimism that it's finally starting to.Mobilizing private capital for public health. Private investment will be essential to support the significant changes required to improve healthcare – especially with uncertainties around future levels of government funding. Dr. McClellan explained how the Duke-Margolis Capital Impact Council (CIC) was launched to guide and improve the role of private investment in healthcare. He described how members of the council are developing and sharing practices for investors and their portfolio companies to track health value return on investment alongside financial ROI.To hear Dr. McClellan and Keith discuss these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.
The integrity of evidence-based policy is under threat when political agendas override scientific rigor.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump—alongside Health & Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, & NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya—delivered remarks on Autism research which may link between acetaminophen usage during pregnancy to the condition. 5:30pm- Matt Rooney— Founder of SaveJersey.com, State Director of the America First Policy Institute of New Jersey, & host of The Matt Rooney Show on 1210 WPHT (Saturday's 7pm to 10pm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Sunday night's NJ gubernatorial debate between Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill. 5:55pm- Tom Azelby hosts the 6pm Hour of The Rich Zeoli Show!
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (09/22/2025): 3:05pm- According to new data from CNN's Harry Enten, despite Donald Trump's personally low approval ratings, Republicans still possess massive polling advantages on three key issues: the economy, immigration, and crime. Enten joked that the Democrats have become the New Orlean Saints of political parties—which bodes poorly for the party's hopes of taking the House of Representatives and/or Senate in 2026. 3:10pm- On Sunday, Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill held their first NJ Gubernatorial debate at Rider University. During one notable moment, Sherrill refused to pledge that she wouldn't raise taxes on New Jersey citizens. One new poll now has Ciattarelli leading by 1-point. 3:30pm- During Sunday's debate, Mikie Sherrill attempted to explain why she voted in favor of a bipartisan House resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk—but publicly denounced Kirk, lying about his past comments and baselessly claiming he wanted to” roll back the rights of women and Black people.” Sherrill was unable to answer when confronted with her inconsistencies and falsehoods. 3:40pm- On Sunday, a memorial service for Charlie Kirk was held in Glendale, Arizona—with 73,000 inside of State Farm Stadium and an estimated 200,000 people in total showing up to the event. In a powerful moment during the ceremony, Erika Kirk said she forgives her husband's accused killer. 3:50pm- During her Monday briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that President Donald Trump plans to sign an Executive Order designating Antifa as a terrorist organization. 4:05pm- Kimmel is Back: Last week, ABC/Disney indefinitely suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live”—following Kimmel's comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. The late-night host shamefully accused Republicans of using the death to “score political points.” While the network's move appeared to be a result of Kimmel's comments coupled with poor ratings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested his department could potentially investigate ABC/Disney over Kimmel's vitriolic remarks—muddying the waters. Many expressed concern that Carr's warning amounted to a First Amendment violation. ABC/Disney is now announcing that the suspension has concluded, and Kimmel will be back on-air Tuesday night. Rich notes that if Carr had not opened his mouth and baselessly threatened ABC/Disney, Kimmel's show would have likely ended permanently. Did Carr inadvertently save Kimmel's career? 4:20pm- Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked President Trump: “If you could eat only one thing for a week, what would it be?” Trump responded, “probably steak.” 4:40pm- Joe Gruters—Chairman of the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show for his first interview since becoming RNC Chair last month!

A new American Eagle clothing advertisement features Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney bragging about her “great jeans.” Far-left social media users, however, are ridiculously saying that the commercial is secretly promoting eugenics—insisting the ad's “great jeans” line really means “great genes.” American Eagle responded to the complaints, emphasizing the commercial was always just about “jeans.” Meanwhile, over the weekend, activists “outed” Sweeney as a registered Republican living in Florida—and video has surfaced of her shooting guns impressively. But is anyone, aside from those obsessively online, genuinely angry about her political affiliation or hobbies? 3:20pm- At least fifty-one Texas House Democrats fled the state as part of an effort to deny the Texas House a quorum—effectively preventing a vote on redistricting while also prolonging a vote on providing financial relief for families impacted by last month's devastating floods that killed more than 120 people.

Meet our friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. CDC 86's Covid Vax Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show kicks off with Clay Travis solo-hosting as Buck Sexton recovers from the flu. Clay reflects on Memorial Day, honoring the sacrifices of American service members, and shares highlights from his visit to the Indy 500, emphasizing the strong presence of Clay and Buck listeners. The hour dives into major political and cultural topics, starting with breaking news: the CDC has officially removed the COVID-19 vaccine from its recommended immunization schedule for healthy children and pregnant women. Clay highlights this as a significant reversal of previous federal health mandates and criticizes the Biden administration and legacy media for their role in promoting what he calls “COVID shot propaganda.” He underscores the personal and professional consequences many Americans faced for refusing the vaccine, including job loss and social ostracization. Riley Gaines on Fame The long-term consequences of COVID-19 policies, the erosion of trust in public health institutions, and the ongoing controversy surrounding transgender athletes in women’s sports. Clay Travis, hosting solo, opens the hour by reacting to breaking news that the COVID-19 vaccine has been removed from the recommended list for children and pregnant women—a decision that sparks a broader conversation about government overreach, vaccine mandates, and the psychological toll of pandemic-era restrictions. Clay is joined by former NCAA swimmer and women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines, who shares her personal experiences with COVID-era mandates while competing at the University of Kentucky. Gaines recounts the extreme and often illogical protocols athletes endured, including wearing masks between swim laps and facing pressure to get vaccinated despite natural immunity. She reflects on the broader impact of school closures and social isolation on young people, emphasizing how these policies robbed students of formative life experiences. The conversation shifts to the ongoing debate over biological males competing in women’s sports. Gaines and Travis discuss recent incidents, including a viral protest by a female athlete in California and former President Donald Trump’s public condemnation of transgender participation in women’s competitions. Gaines criticizes the Democratic Party’s unwavering support for these policies and highlights the bravery of young women standing up for fairness in sports. She also addresses personal attacks from media figures like Jemele Hill and Keith Olbermann, reinforcing her commitment to advocating for women’s rights and equal opportunities. Dr. Marty Makary, FDA Commissioner Clay welcomes newly appointed FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, who, alongside Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and RFK Jr. announced the removal of the COVID shot recommendation for healthy children and pregnant women. Dr. Makary explains the need to restore scientific integrity and transparency in public health, criticizing the previous administration’s reliance on unproven theories and lack of clinical trial data. He emphasizes the importance of rebuilding trust by focusing on chronic disease prevention, food quality, and environmental health. Dr. Makary also reflects on the failures of school closures, the disproportionate impact on low-income and minority communities, and the long-term mental health consequences for children. He calls for a renewed commitment to evidence-based medicine and civil discourse, warning against the dangers of censorship and politicization in science. President Trump Endorses Clay's New Book! the Democratic Party’s struggle to connect with young male voters, the cultural alienation of boys, and the broader implications for American society and politics. Clay opens the hour by discussing a recent New York Times article detailing a $20 million Democratic initiative—codenamed SAM (Speaking with American Men)—aimed at reversing the party’s declining support among young men. He critiques the effort as tone-deaf and disconnected from the realities of modern masculinity, drawing parallels to themes in his upcoming book, Balls: How Trump, Young Men, and Sports Saved America, which has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump. Throughout the segment, Clay shares personal anecdotes and cultural observations that highlight the erosion of male identity in contemporary America. He recounts a moment with his son in a Target store, where the overwhelming presence of “girl power” messaging sparked a realization about the lack of positive male representation. He also discusses the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on boys, particularly the cancellation of sports and school activities, which he argues contributed to a growing sense of disenfranchisement among young men.
