Why Should I Trust You?Why Should I Trust You?Special Ep: We Talk COVID.Gov, Lab Leaks & Raccoon Dogs w Paul Offit, Maciek Boni & David Wallace WellsIn this special episode, we dig into the origins of the pandemic. Has America decided it began with a lab leak? Is the debate over?The Trump administration says yes, launching a new government website asserting that Covid originated in a lab, not from animal-to-human transmission at the now-infamous Wuhan market. In recent days, Trump signed an executive order halting gain-of-function research, the type his administration claims caused the alleged leak. Tulsi Gabbard, now Director of National Intelligence, says she’s working on the definitive report. And Senator Rand Paul is once again calling for Dr. Fauci to...2025-05-111h 21Why Should I Trust You?Why Should I Trust You?Inside A Rare Conversation Between MAHA Grassroots and Public Health LeadersIn today’s episode: a conversation between two sides that don’t typically speak with each other—mainstream public health leaders and voices from the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. These groups often talk about each other, but rarely to each other.Five MAHA members from their state chapter in Ohio. Five public health leaders. We had met and developed relationships with them over months of discussing their vision of health in this country. And a few weeks ago, we invited them to have a conversation with each other. They all agreed. On today's episode...2025-05-081h 45Why Should I Trust You?Why Should I Trust You?Can Dems Be the Party of Health in an Age of RFK Jr.’s MAHA? A Conversation w Sen. Maggie HassanDuring RFK Jr.'s confirmation hearing back in January, many voices competed to be heard. But one cut through the noise: Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire — a Democrat, a policymaker, and the mother of a son with Cerebral Palsy. Her emotional testimony about love, a mother's guilt, and the daily realities of disability struck a national chord.Today, she joins us.She tells us about where she finds yes, disagreement — but also, surprising common ground — with MAHA parents seeking answers about autism, vaccines, food, and chemicals. Can this Democrat from the "Live Free or...2025-05-0145 minYou\'re Entitled to Our OpinionYou're Entitled to Our OpinionForgive and Forget? Free YourselfThe Bible commands that we forgive as we've been forgiven. That's quite a challenge sometimes when we've been severely wronged. But the question remains, can we forgive And forget? The Bible clearly states in both the New and Old Testament that God chooses to not remember our sins when we repent. The Bible emphatically declares Him saying He "will" remember our sins no more. How about us? Can we really choose to not only forgive but to also forget wrongs? Jay and Tom discuss this in depth. And then they take it a step further...2025-04-2530 minWhy Should I Trust You?Why Should I Trust You?How to Reach People in Today's New Media Amid a Crisis of Mistrust. A Conversation with Emily JashinskyWe’re joined by Emily Jashinsky, co-host of Counterpoints with Ryan Grim. Formerly with The Federalist and The Hill, Emily now serves as DC correspondent for UnHerd and hosts Undercurrents TV. She’s someone well-versed in this shifting media landscape.Together, we explore the rise of the so-called “New Media”—a world where legacy outlets are giving way to right-leaning podcasters, YouTubers, and social media influencers. As trust in public health, science, and institutions craters, we ask: is this new media ecosystem fueling the breakdown, or finally reflecting a mistrust that’s been simmering for years?And while...2025-04-2453 minYou\'re Entitled to Our OpinionYou're Entitled to Our OpinionEven More Prayer - No Long Distance ChargesThere is nothing more important than prayer - for a believer or an unbeliever. For the unbeliever, it's the introduction to the God who loves them so much that He paid the sin penalty and set them free. It starts by asking.For the believer, it's so much more than bringing a "grocery list" of requests to God. But even with this paradigm, so many Christians don't spend quality time with their heavenly Father. This podcast deals with some of the reasons why so many people have ineffective and inconsistent prayer lives.2025-04-1831 minWhy Should I Trust You?Why Should I Trust You?A Writer's Journey w a Rare Disease Led Her to Champion Obamacare & Democrats. Why She Is Now a MAGA Supporter.In today’s episode, we speak with Evan Barker, a writer, podcaster, and former Democratic staffer and fundraiser who, in 2024, voted for Donald Trump. Raised in a working-class community by her mother, Barker's family lived paycheck to paycheck. Then she was diagnosed with a rare, potentially fatal chronic illness. Raised in a blue-collar Missouri community, Evan represents a much-needed voice at the table as America wrestles with how to get healthier. Does she feel MAHA represents the America of her upbringing? How did the party of Obamacare--which provided her insurance and thus the opportunity to go to col...2025-04-1747 minYou\'re Entitled to Our OpinionYou're Entitled to Our OpinionPrayer - Not God's Vending MachineEver get "ripped off" by a vending machine? You put your money in but get nothing out of it?Some people see prayer that way. They come to God and ask Him for stuff but He doesn't seem to come through by saying "yes" to their laundry list of requests..especially according to their timetable. We call God, "Father," but too often treat him like a bellhop. One of the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, so Jesus did, and then expounded on it in the book of Luke, chapter 11. ...2025-04-1630 minWhy Should I Trust You?Why Should I Trust You?Special Ep: A Conversation with Dr. Peter Marks on Vaccine Safety, Trust, and the True Scope of the Measles OutbreakNation's Top Vaccine Regulator Just Ousted, Dr. Peter Marks: "Measles is NOT leveling off". This is in direct contrast to Secretary Kennedy's statement just yesterday that the nation's measles outbreak is under control. Plus why he felt he could not stay at the FDA anymore, his answers to parents' questions about vaccine safety, what he sees for public health right now and what he wants to do next. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today, in a special episode, we’re breaking from our usual Thursday release schedule to bring you an in-depth conversation with Dr. P...2025-04-111h 10Why Should I Trust You?Why Should I Trust You?Wendell Potter, A Health Insurance Exec Turned Whistleblower, On Blowing Up Our SystemOn today's episode, we tackle a topic that sparks more fear, frustration, and mistrust than perhaps any other: health insurance. From denied claims to endless bureaucratic red tape and the dread of sky-high out-of-pocket costs, it's no wonder so many Americans feel trapped. While more people are covered than ever before, many are still skipping doctor visits, avoiding exams, and forgoing prescription refills due to the financial burden. The raw emotion was on full display in the shocking response to the murder of the United Healthcare CEO. Today, we sit down with Wendell Potter, a former health industry insider...2025-04-1057 minThe RAG Podcast - Recruitment Agency Growth PodcastThe RAG Podcast - Recruitment Agency Growth PodcastSeason 8 | Ep26 Tom Johnson on securing investment from Lord Sugar and buying back 100% of his recruitment businessWhat happens when you cold email Lord Sugar asking for investment?

This follows cuts in money for state public health agencies and funding freezes for research centers tackling everything from cancer to veterans' health. Secretary Kennedy says this is to streamline government agencies' practices which he says will ultimately make America healthy again. For too long, both parties ran the show without challenging the status quo.

When asked about the pharmaceutical industry, most of the country responds with a mix of anger and suspicion, using terms like "corporate capture," "revolving door," and "profits over people" to describe its influence, a sentiment felt even stronger after the pandemic. And yet, we are a nation that depends on their life-saving, life-improving products. Americans demand innovation from Big Pharma, but are simultaneously frustrated and mistrustful of their motives and influence. Today, we delve into our complex relationship with the pharmaceutical industry. What fuels this mistrust? Is there a better sy...2025-03-131h 11Why Should I Trust You?Why Should I Trust You?Censorship vs. Science: The Fight Over Free Speech That Is Tearing Us ApartDuring incoming NIH secretary Dr. Jay Bhattacharya's confirmation hearing this week, he vowed to "establish a culture of respect for free speech in science & scientific dissent at the NIH"; he went on to call dissent "the very essence of science".

We Ask a Vaccine Legal ScholarA major source of mistrust in public health today is the belief that you can't sue a vaccine manufacturer if you suffer an adverse reaction. Many ask: Why should I trust vaccines if I can't hold vaccine makers accountable? For them, it sounds un-American, heavily biased toward Big Pharma, and proof that the system is rigged. It is something that the incoming health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has spoken about often. But is it true? In this episode, we sit down with Dorit Reiss, a legal scholar specializing in vaccines and the law, to se...2025-02-1346 minWhy Should I Trust You?Why Should I Trust You?A CIA Declaration, Subpoenas, & Fauci’s Pardon: Why the Lab Leak Debate is Still Raging OnWith the CIA now siding with the "lab leak" theory, President Trump reportedly considering cuts to “risky” virus research, Republican Senator Rand Paul firing off subpoenas, and President Biden’s pre-emptive pardon of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the fierce debate over COVID’s origins is only intensifying.

Kennedy Jr. testifying to become Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, optimism and joy are coursing through the ascendant Make America Healthy Again movement, while fear and confusion are taking hold in American public health circles. To critics, he is an outspoken vaccine skeptic and spreader of conspiracy theories.
