Gun violence, what can be done -- with our guest Dr. Chethen Sathya Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

Today's guest is Dr. Chethen Sathya, a pediatric trauma surgeon who is the Director of the Gun Violence Prevention Center at Northwell Health, the largest system of hospitals and outpatient clinics in New York. Northwell is doing a big push on gun violence prevention, highlighted by fighting for funds in the infrastructure bill that go to gun violence prevention programs like the one at Northwell. As we're not seeing a spike in crime so much as a spike in gun crime right now, Dr. Sathya is a perfect guest to discuss what Northwell's doing, what we all should be doing, why the US is unique among high income countries, and the financial, personal and emotional cost of this scourge. And afterwards, we talk about the latest on Afghanistan and Covid. This is one of our premium episodes.

Rand Paul's wife secretly bought pharma stocks at the beginning of the pandemic Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

On today's show, Cliff and I delve into the news that Rand Paul's wife secretly bought stocks in a drug company way back in February of 2020, and Paul failed to report it for 16 months. And it just so happens that the pharmaceutical company, Gilead, makes the Covid treatment drug Remdesivir. At the time his wife bought the drug, Rand Paul, as a member of Congress, was receiving secret Covid briefings that the rest of us weren't privy to. He knew what was coming, we didn't. And his wife invested in the drug that would be needed to help fight the pandemic. All just a big coincidence, right Rand? This is one of our premium episodes.
