Craig MelvinHOST
What do parents need to know going forward? And what does this executive order actually
J
16:32John TorresGUEST
This is going to add to a lot of things here because, you know, with vaccinations, we've had this schedule set up and, you know, they brought up the point that these vaccinations are increased from vaccinations we had decades ago.
J
16:43John TorresGUEST
Well, that's because we have the technology now to make vaccines against viruses we couldn't do decades ago.
J
16:47John TorresGUEST
And these viruses, some of them, hepatitis, some of the meningitis vaccines, viruses, those things can kill people.
J
16:56John TorresGUEST

Laura JarrettHOST
First of all, is just, is, is this just the beginning of more outbreaks, and are there certain foods that we should just be avoiding outright?
J
7:16John TorresGUEST
And I think what you're seeing here is the fact that these outbreaks happen typically every year.
J
7:21John TorresGUEST
This year happens to be more, more robust than most, and so it's getting more attention, so I think people are paying more attention to it.
J
7:32John TorresGUEST
But as far as avoiding foods, I think the main thing you should do is avoid the things that we know can cause contamination or are possibly contaminated because since these outbreaks do happen, you wanna protect yourself.
Craig MelvinHOST
So then is this a mere coincidence that we're seeing these two different things pop up at the same time, or should people actually have a pause and concern about the food supply?

J
6:43John TorresGUEST
And what they wanna do is they wanna make it so it's a, if you're a Part D beneficiary, in other words, you have the drug coverage or Medicare, it's $50 a month.
J
6:51John TorresGUEST
Caveat being that $50 does not go towards your co-pay or your, or to your deductible.

And actually, something people don't understand is that GLP-1s actually have an anti-inflammatory and kind of an immune response mechanism to them as well.

They looked at 12,000 people, and they had one of seven types of cancer, stage 1, 2, or 3.

And with climate change, it's going to keep going up and you're going to get hot.

ICE Under Pressure

Pamela BrownHOST
Do you think he is doing a good job communicating what the role of ICE has been and what has been going on, of course, in cities like Minneapolis?
J
78:04John TorresGUEST
What really stands out to me is that Director Lyons is in an impossible position here where he has to tout the administration priorities and also the priorities of the Department of Homeland Security, yet still answer questions to the appropriators here.
J
78:21John TorresGUEST
And what's really interesting is normally an appropriations hearing focuses on the accomplishments of the agency and what they need going forward.
Pamela BrownHOST
ICE is supposed to be doing interior targeted enforcement, and CBP is typically at the border, and that hasn't really been the case on the ground in Minneapolis, as we've seen, and CBP was the one involved in the Alex Prudy shooting.
