California Congresswoman Judy Chu (D) got into a vicious back-and-forth with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent today during a House Ways and Means Committee hearing. In a shocking display of ignorance Congresswoman Chu didn't know who the president was during World War One. Are aliens among us? Seth certainly thinks so. We're joined by Johnny Estes, Vice President of Operations, and Shannon Estes, President of CMI Gold & Silver. Supporting Graham Platner, a candidate for Senate in Maine who has been accused of serial abuse, is untenable for rank-and-file Democrats. New polling suggests Democrats are choosing to skip celebrating Independence Day this year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the podcast, host Joanna Roche of the Maria Mitchell Association sits down with Heather Packard from Mass Audubon for an important conversation about the growing movement to ban anticoagulant rodenticides across Massachusetts. They discuss the devastating impact these poisons have on wildlife and ecosystems, why immediate action is needed, and how local voices can help create statewide change. Heather encourages listeners to TAKE ACTION by May 19 and call their Massachusetts state representative to ask Chair Aaron Michlewitz and the House Ways & Means Committee to strengthen Sections 74 and 75 of the Mass Ready Act by including language from H5217, which would phase out the use of anticoagulant rodenticides statewide. The goal is for each of the 160 state representatives to receive at least 10 calls from constituents because, together, communities have the power to advocate for wildlife and be the voice for the voiceless.

During a ceremonial bill signing in Columbia on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, S.C. House Ways and Means Chairman Bruce Bannister emphasized that the state's new income tax reform ensures citizens "pay no more than is absolutely necessary". The legislation, H. 4216, simplifies the state tax code by collapsing brackets into a two-rate system: a 1.99% rate for income up to $30,000 and a 5.21% top rate for income above that threshold. Bannister highlighted that the plan not only provides immediate relief—with roughly 42.8% of taxpayers seeing a reduction in liability—but also sets a legal framework to automatically phase the state income tax down toward zero as revenue triggers are met in future years.

Why are there over 400 phase three oncology programs but only one in dialysis? John Butler, who has spent over 30 years in the kidney disease space, breaks down the regulatory and reimbursement dynamics that have created a surge of innovation in rare kidney diseases while leaving dialysis patients behind, and what it would take to change that.John discusses how FDA clarity on endpoints transformed the rare kidney disease investment landscape, why the dialysis bundle makes innovation functionally impossible for providers, and how the Kidney Care Access Protection Act could be the first meaningful step toward a sustainable path for new dialysis therapies.A few of John's key takeaways:Regulatory clarity is the single biggest driver of rare kidney disease investment — FDA's work with industry to define approvable endpoints changed the entire landscapeThe dialysis bundle is structurally hostile to innovation — at $280 per session for all services, supplies, and drugs, there's no room for new therapiesThe Corsuva story is a cautionary tale — a good product at a reasonable price failed because the payment mechanism didn't workK-CAPA could change the calculus by extending the TDAPA window to three years and shifting to pay-per-use reimbursementInvestors are willing to take clinical risk, but they need a clear path to both approval and paymentFDA and CMS are generally better when they don't try to coordinate — FDA should focus on science and benefit-risk, not system costThe science is moving upstream — SGLT-2s, GLP-1s, porcine kidney transplants, and wearable kidneys all point toward a future with fewer patients on dialysisAbout John ButlerJohn Butler is President and CEO of Akebia Therapeutics, where he has led the company for over 12 years. He has worked in kidney disease since 1991, with roles at Amgen and 13 years at Genzyme leading the renal and rare disease businesses. John chaired the American Kidney Fund and Kidney Care Partners, and recently testified before the House Ways & Means health subcommittee on dialysis innovation and reimbursement reform.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee will hold a healthcare affordability hearing on Thursday, February 12, focused on the pharmaceutical supply chain, even as drugmakers raised prices on nearly 1,000 prescription drugs this January, and pharmaceutical CEOs are not expected to testify. Why is Big Pharma's "patient-last" playbook continuing despite the recent White House deals? What do lawmakers risk overlooking if drug manufacturers are not at the witness table? As lawmakers revisit the topic of affordability, it's critical they remember that lowering Big Pharma's drug prices and enacting a Most-Favored-Nation drug pricing policy are top healthcare policy priorities for the administration – and for Americans in general. J.D. Hayworth, a former member of the House Ways and Means Committee and now spokesperson for the Pharmaceutical Reform Alliance, joins me to share his insights.Tom Homan has brought a new spirit of cooperation and "work smarter, not harder" to immigration law enforcement in Minnesota.

Republicans on Capitol Hill are keenly watching how other countries implement a long-sought OECD agreement that exempts US companies from parts of the global minimum tax framework. Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kan.), a member of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, hasn't ruled out resurrecting legislation imposing retaliatory taxes on firms from nations that slow-walk codifying the deal. The deal was reached earlier this month after the Trump administration demanded a carve-out for American companies and for the US tax system to work alongside the global minimum tax framework without interference. Estes sat down with Bloomberg Tax Congress reporter Zach C. Cohen in his Capitol Hill office to talk about the importance of the agreement to American businesses and how he will "trust, but verify" other countries' tax code changes, especially if they pursue the same kind of exemption Washington just secured.

John Hopkins professor Dr. Ge Bai walks us through the ACA subsidies, the hidden mechanics behind the Affordable Care Act, and its illusion of "affordability." Dr. Bai shows us how regulations and subsidies have quietly reshaped the healthcare market - and how the free market can make it work for patients again. Ge Bai, PhD, CPA is a Professor of Accounting at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and Professor of Health Policy & Management (joint) at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. An expert on health care accounting, finance, and policy, Dr. Bai has testified before the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate HELP Committee, written for the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, and published her studies in leading academic journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Health Affairs.

On July 4th, President Trump signed into law the comprehensive budget plan, known as the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill.' The President announced that there's hardly a livelihood that this bill would not benefit. Over the weekend, the House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing at the Reagan Library in California to listen to those who praised the bill. However, since President Trump signed it, Democrats have kept up their opposition to the budget plan. Ways and Means Chairman Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) joins the Rundown to discuss how the 'big bill' will benefit Americans. An increasing number of Americans are choosing to work for themselves. According to new research from Statista, more than half of the workforce in the United States is expected to be freelancing by 2028. In response, lawmakers are advocating for independent workers to receive voluntary, portable workplace benefits. In the meantime, gig workers in some states are already benefiting from a pilot program launched by DoorDash that offers a savings account. The Vice President and Global Head of Public Policy at DoorDash, Max Rettig, joins the podcast to discuss the details of this program. Plus, commentary from FOX News Digital columnist David Marcus.

On Sunday night, devastating news came out of Idaho, as Americans learned that a gunman opened fire on firefighters responding to a call — ultimately killing two of them. Because the heinous news broke during 'Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy,' the interviews he had prepared weren't aired as breaking news rightfully took priority. So today, Trey chose three conversations that didn't make it to air to share — ones that dive into a range of key issues in the country. First, Trey speaks with CIA Director John Ratcliffe about the ongoing war between Iran and Israel, and how badly Iran's nuclear program was damaged by U.S. strikes. Later, he speaks with Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Jason Smith (R-MO) about whether he believes the 'big, beautiful bill' will end up on President Trump's desk by July 4th, and welcomes U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to break down major Supreme Court decisions recently made in Washington.
