AI helps draft the report on America’s Health

RFK Jr. and Barron Trump are in the news this week
1

We welcome listeners from Taiwan (Republic of China), American Samoa, and Bolivia to the podcast.

Both John and Tim get into the trivia game.

Reporting suggests that artificial intelligence was used to draft parts of the Make America Healthy Again report, undercutting value it may have had. John wonders why the report was produced in the first place.

Tim gives a chemistry lesson on how fluoride protects teeth and addresses concerns about its possible negative effects elsewhere, demonstrating one potentially legitimate idea to come out of the report.

John wonders why some people are drawn to conspiracy theories and Tim asserts that the Biden presidency demonstrates that coverups are far, too real.

Barron Trump makes the news, and we ponder where we should draw the line with reporting on politicians’ families.

John’s whack-job is boldly unethical.

Tim’s hero saved a life by using what he had in a novel way.
