The broadcast turns to domestic health policy, where Dr. Erica Schwartz — President Trump's pick to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — faces her Senate confirmation hearing. Schwartz is a retired rear admiral in the US Public Health Service and served as deputy surgeon general during Trump's first term; she has publicly supported vaccines, a notable signal given the current political climate [1] — NPR Reporter "Dr. Erica Schwartz faces her Senate confirmation hearing to lead the CDC today. Public health veterans expect her to be confirmed, but what…" 02:35 . Public health veterans broadly expect her to be confirmed. But as Atlanta district health director Dr. Marcus Plesha notes, the harder question is what comes next: the CDC has gone without a permanent director for some time, and the agency is in a difficult state — battered by workforce cuts, depleted morale, and added layers of political review under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s leadership. Getting confirmed is the easy part; the job itself is a far steeper climb.

Dr. Erica Schwartz faces her Senate confirmation hearing to lead the CDC today. Public health veterans expect her to be confirmed, but what follows is harder: she would inherit an agency battered by workforce cuts, low morale, and political interference under RFK Jr.

Ten years ago, 90% of tech media coverage was relentlessly negative and Kalanick felt he couldn't speak freely. Today, the rise of independent podcasters and Elon Musk buying Twitter has fundamentally changed the game — and it's why he's finally willing to talk.
Kay Classman, 28, was arrested for repeatedly posing as a 16-year-old and enrolling in Bronx high schools across multiple districts. She wasn't a predator — just someone so sad and lonely she wanted her lost childhood back. That's somehow sadder.
Disney, Meta, and Paramount have collectively paid Trump roughly $60 million to settle what Galloway calls nuisance lawsuits — all routed to his presidential library. Newsrooms are folding. The White House is handpicking press pool participants. This is what the end of a free press looks like.
One cheap fake documentary made by a teenager in his mother's basement convinced 16% of Americans that 9/11 was an inside job. Social media didn't invent conspiracy — it just gave it a rocket engine.
A progressive organization with a stated mission to destroy Turning Point USA received millions from ActBlue and is now publicly pushing the narrative that TPUSA insiders and Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Andrew Wilson traced the network of accounts all amplifying the same conspiracy in perfect unison.
The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
Andrew Wilson publicly offered Candace Owens $300,000 to debate her theory that Israel and TPUSA murdered Charlie Kirk. She refused. He argues that flat-earthers will debate anyone, but Kirk conspiracy theorists won't defend their claims under scrutiny.
Erika Kirk became the CEO of TPUSA while grieving her husband's murder in public, and now faces tens of thousands accusing her of conspiring to kill him. Andrew Wilson calls it mind-boggling psychological torture. The sparklers at the memorial weren't suspicious — they were a grieving widow doing her best in an impossible situation.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
