In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt - A Post-Roe Update on Male Birth Control

The number one way to prevent an unplanned pregnancy (apart from abstinence) is with contraception. But why does so much of that burden fall on women? In an eye-opening conversation about the development of male birth control, Dr. Brian Nguyen and Dr. Stephanie Page reframe pregnancy as an equally shared responsibility between two partners. They trace a line between the Dobbs v. Jackson decision and the need for male contraception, discuss the clinical trials happening right now, and explain why it’s a step toward building a culture of gender equity.

The Daily Signal - Sen. Rand Paul Warns Against Democrats’ Plan to Raise Taxes Amid Inflation

The economic crisis facing the nation is disproportionately hurting small businesses. Mom and pop shops are struggling to stay afloat in the face of historic levels of inflation. Against this backdrop, Democrats have proposed raising taxes on pass-through entities—small businesses including sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies, and S corporations.

To Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., that's just insanity.

"It's a terrible time to also talk about raising taxes," says Paul. "Businesses are reeling from the inflationary rising costs; now, they would have an additional tax."

Paul has been going around the country talking with small-business owners who want relief from inflation and high taxes.

"They're very concerned, not only with the inflationary input, but adding a tax to this when small business is tenuous, and they're still coming out of the lockdowns," he says.

The Kentucky lawmaker adds that this tax hike would have unintended consequences that Democrats aren't thinking of.

"One of the unintended consequences will be closure of businesses and increased unemployment and exacerbation of the recession," he says. "This is something that we will fight steadfastly against and do everything possible not to let this happen to the American people."

Paul warned that "if we do nothing, there's a possibility inflation gets worse. I think that's the most likely scenario. I think between now and the election, we're going to see a worsening of inflation."

Also on today's show, Heritage Foundation economics expert E.J. Antoni discusses the possible consequences of inflation on the American people and how long we might be dealing with the issue.

We also cover these stories:

  • President Joe Biden has contracted COVID-19. 
  • The House of Representatives passes the Right to Contraception Act.
  • Senate Democrats introduce a bill to end the federal prohibition of marijuana.
  • The U.S. Coast Guard and local law enforcement intercept a sailboat carrying more than 150 illegal immigrants off the southern coast of Florida.

Philosophers In Space - 0G190: Consider Phlebas and Critiquing the Culture pt.1

The Stack Overflow Podcast - Game Boy emulators, PowerPoint developers, and the enduring appeal of Pokémon GO

Pokémon GO is six years old (it makes us feel old, too). 

Check out NoobBoy, the Game Boy emulator. Need more nineties nostalgia? You can still play DOOM on almost anything.

What kind of game could you build with PowerPoint? Two game developers go head-to-head over 24 hours to show you: Watch the video.

Did you know a moose can dive 20 feet deep and swim faster than Michael Phelps? It’s true.

Today’s Lifeboat badge goes to user zvone for their answer to Error message "TypeError: descriptor 'append' requires a 'list' object but received a 'dict'".

Short Wave - The Accelerated Approvals Process: Are Drugmakers Fulfilling Their Promises?

The Food and Drug Administration allows faster drug approvals based on preliminary study data if the drug fulfills an unmet medical need. But the speedy approval comes with a promise that the drugmaker does another clinical trial once the drug is on the market to prove it really works. If not, the FDA can rescind the approval. How are the companies doing and how well does the agency enforce that system?

Pharmaceuticals correspondent Sydney Lupkin investigated the 30-year track record for accelerated approvals. Today, her findings on stalled trials and missing evidence.

Opening Arguments - OA615: Rep. Jared Huffman on the Health Share Transparency Act

You may remember the ripoff scam that is Christian Health Share Ministries from such episodes as OA497: Christian Health Sharing Is a Scam and OA530: Andrew Testifies to Congress on Christian Healthshare Ministries! Well, as a direct result of Andrew's House testimony, Rep. Jared Huffman has sponsored and introduced a new bill to fight back against this scam! It's H.R.8324 - Health Share Transparency Act of 2022. Rep. Huffman is also a co-founder of the Congressional Freethought Caucus! He joins us today to explain the bill. Before that, I grill Andrew on the Secret Service deleted texts, with such questions as "what the f?" and "how the h?" There's a lot we can't know yet, but Andrew explains what we do know. Finally, we go through the first gun control legislation passed in two decades. It's good!
