Plus Jim discusses former NIH Director, Dr. Francis Collins' message of "do no harm" when it comes to layoffs impacting scientists. Jim sa Dr. Collins playing guitar at protest on National Mall.
It is plain and simple, Trump is mentally unstable. And I don’t understand why the Democrats and citizens are not calling him out as they did to President Biden during the campaign. Shame on you Democrats for not taking advantage of Trump’s mistakes, inconsistencies, and his back-and-forth.
Yes, the media and Republicans called Biden out everyday. Any slip of the tongue he had they exaggerated it into a Dementia moment. Trump talks out his ass daily and no one says a word about it! It infuriates me.
Yes! Also, don't forget all the Democrats who were also calling Biden out! Pelosi did and plenty of others! Yet all those who were calling Biden out and calling for him to step down, haven't said anything about this nightmare we are living through now! It's like they're trying to fade off into the woodwork or something.
Measles has not spread to Ohio yet, but give it time, especially since RFK emphasized vitamin A instead of vaccines. He also said, cod liver oil and steroids are being used by doctors who are "getting very, very, good results." I would like to see the data results on that. Personally, I think he sent the wrong message. Ohio is experiencing the Bird Flu though. About 15.5 million poultry have been culled on the farms. Yesterday geese were found dead with the bird flu. I wish we had an intelligent, health care leader with an extensive background in infectious disease like Dr Fauci to actually help us.
And a woman in Department of Agriculture is encouraging people to raise backyard chickens! During a bird pandemic. That could spread among the human population. Good grief.
So that is a clear message no one cares about the threat of bird flu. Can you imagine a big influx of chickens across the country being cared for with no knowledge as to how to care for chickens in the midst of a growing bird flu pandemic?
I had a small flock of three that I terminated because of avian flu risk - and here they are encouraging it! Unbelievable. We all need to stock up on masks; something is coming, either a pandemic or a terrorist attack (masks won’t help that, unfortunately).
I agree! I have two dogs and these geese tried landing near our pond yesterday. I put a mask and gloves on and chased them the hell out. I did not their droppings on my grass or them near my pond water. There have been studies going on re: pond and lake water being infected and still infected after 32 days+
Wow, that’s a big job! I live on a small lake and the geese come and go a lot. So, it sounds like you’re saying the virus can live in standing water? Yikes. That seems like a very big deal. I had two dogs but they both passed last spring, and they were why I got out of the chicken business. (I never let them swim in the lake because of harmful algae blooms - luckily they were German Shepherds and not really interested in swimming, but I fenced off the shore anyway). About 6 months ago I saw a songbird in my yard on its back, seeming to have seizures. I called Fish & Wildlife, but nobody got back to me. I thought they might be tracking it in wildlife, but I guess not so much.
Yes, the bird flu virus can live in water, especially in colder temperatures. The virus can contaminate water when infected birds defecate in it. That's why when they tried landing I ran out. I NEVER let my dogs near the pond & they do not get to swim in it. University of Georgia study found that some avian influenza viruses can survive in water for up to 150 days. "Can survive in lakes and other bodies of water." "The virus can contaminate water through infected birds or carcasses." "Avian influenza can infect poultry and other bird and animal species through saliva, nasal secretions, feces, and contaminated surfaces. " We need a competent infection control doctor, NOT RFK jr talking out his ass.
Regarding vitamin A, doctors and nurses are trying to get the word out that vitamin A toxicity kills kids. There’s a limit how much vitamin A you can take. It can kill you.
Planning meeting for next flu strain cancelled -- How does that bode for planning for next covid strain and bird what about flu -- Will there be a recommended schedule of vaccines or any vaccine distribution because insurance only pays for recommended vaccines -- Or do we need to fly to Canada and pay cash? I suspect HERD IMMUNITY which Trump mentioned in an interview as a method for fighting COVID back in 2021 is what we will be subjected to over the next four years; and I do not believe we will ever vote again; or if we vote that it will be legitimate. The other side is playing to win. Meanwhile we aren't even on the field; at home having lots of discussions and clutching at our pears. It is ridiculous.
I'm right there with you Olivia — it was a disgraceful performance. I couldn't watch it without vomiting! I knew exactly what he was going to say. He's afraid of Senator Elizabeth Warren. She is a thousand times more intelligent than Donald. Don't get me started on Ukraine! Abandoning Ukraine will come back to bite him in the a**!
Judy, I rarely watch the news anymore because all they keep talking about is Trump. He is eating it up. When I am watching our local news, I am muting when they first start saying "president trump said today." I just cannot listen. I voted for sanity, so he is not my president and never will be.
Thank you for covering this important topic. Olivia is right. We are those people other countries now pity due to a fascist takeover. Hard to swallow how far we have fallen.
Nepal has a very good measles-rubella vaccination program. They have an aim of vaccinating about 5.7 million children. This was implemented in 2024. Their goal is to eliminate measles by 2026.
The United States actually achieved eliminating measles as a threat inside our country. I think it was in the 1990's double check me; but it was in that time period. Then people started to elect not vaccinating their children in the 2000's which did not lower the incidence of autism but brought back measles which killed a child in Texas and will kill more. It was RJK Jr riding on the reputation of his father and uncle who first started whispering in the ears of mothers especially that vaccines caused autism that got us here. So many people in power today that we would have been so better off if they were never born or murdered in their cribs. So, maybe we should go to Nepal for our vaccines. I doubt we will have vaccines in short order given under RFK Jr the planning meeting to determine what strains of flu will hit next year was cancelled.
I was vaccinated in the 50’s when I was in elementary school. ( no age jokes lol) I think I may have been revaccinated later. In the Philippines there was a terrible outbreak in 2019 48000 cases with about 350 deaths. Not to mention all the mosquito borne diseases in some of those countries which there is little protection from. I had chikungunya what I call the bone breaker disease. Plenty get dengue fever. Anyway, what kind of clown wouldn’t protect their child from a preventable disease.
When 10 Dem vote to Censor Al Green what kind of a message does the send to the American people????? Shame on them. 🤬 I now see why we are all very angry and disappointed with them.
It's me. I'm that 50yo woman the congressman was talking of. I have a daughter in college. My dad is in need of memory care assisted living. My siblings are of no help and it all falls to me, along with running my own business, caring for my family and dealing with my own issues. I'm terrified he can't afford care, even though he has pension and Medicare. Is the Social Security in jeopardy? Will Medicaid be there if we need it for nursing care? I can't do this myself.
I'm in Indiana and my state doesn't care about my troubles. Who helps me?
Great show Jim! This is a terrific medium. So much better than corporate media neutering the news for their political and private interests. Free at last!
I have not been able to stop thinking about the Oval Office meeting with Zelensky. It had all the signs of an anti-semitic assault. A leader in Europe said that Zelensky, the President of a sovereign country was treated like a stable boy. He was treated worse than a stable boy. But the browbeating, the gaslighting, the disrespect, the demeaning all has been done to Jews from time immemorial. It sickens me that a President in the Oval Office could have carried this out in front of the world. And it's clear Trump has no intention of supporting Ukraine. That his Republican sycophants could go along with this is horrifying.
It is plain and simple, Trump is mentally unstable. And I don’t understand why the Democrats and citizens are not calling him out as they did to President Biden during the campaign. Shame on you Democrats for not taking advantage of Trump’s mistakes, inconsistencies, and his back-and-forth.

Trump isn’t mentally unstable. He’s not smart, but he’s stable enough.
He’s always been low-intellect, but, like Rs in Congress, he understands offers of lots of money. That doesn’t take a genius.
He’s clearly working for Russia. It would be treason (and actually is) in any other time.
To brush it off as Trump simply being mentally unstable is to not acknowledge the severity (and, treasonousness) of the situation.
Well said! It always upsets me when people say he’s mentally unstable.I really don’t have to comment to much because you said it💯
Yes! Also, don't forget all the Democrats who were also calling Biden out! Pelosi did and plenty of others! Yet all those who were calling Biden out and calling for him to step down, haven't said anything about this nightmare we are living through now!

“Flood the zone” works. It’s a challenge to focus on one thing when facing a barrage of insanity, corruption and multiple lies daily. Hourly.

During the AIDS onset I remember our priest saying well you can use condoms but poke holes in it.
OMG. It took me a while to get the parallel.

Same ole song & dance by tRump by blaming someone else🤢🤮🤬
That's all he does. I cannot believe he is still blaming Biden. I have to mute my TV when he is talking.
I can't even turn on the TV when he is on😫
Judy, I rarely watch the news anymore because all they keep talking about is Trump. He is eating it up. When I am watching our local news, I am muting when they first start saying "president trump said today." I just cannot listen. I voted for sanity, so he is not my president and never will be.
"SCREAM HERE" ... good one, Olivia. 😎
Thank you for covering this important topic. Olivia is right. We are those people other countries now pity due to a fascist takeover. Hard to swallow how far we have fallen.
Great show. Jim. Thanks!
Great guest Jim. Olivia is awesome.
Olivia is truly authentic and caring and strong!
Smart as a whip too.
I appreciate this introduction to Auchincloss. Intelligent and well spoken
Yes!

You summarized that meeting perfectly!
