Today, we have on a promised guest, Jonathan M Berman, an assistant professor in Basic Sciences at New York Institute of Technology, Arkansas, the co-chair of the 2017 March for Science, and the author of a 2020 book called Anti-Vaxxers: How to Challenge a Misinformed Movement. In light of last week’s turmoil and spate of resignations and firings at the CDC stemming from changes to vaccine policy, we wanted to invite Jonathan on to talk about the anti-vaccination movement and how it’s been turbo-charged by the rise of RFK.
Enjoy!

On Saturday September 6th, a special statewide education summit will be held in Richmond. The hosts are the Virginia Education Opportunity Alliance, which includes the Middle Resolution, Virginia Institute for Public Policy, the Heritage Foundation and leaders in the homeschooling and micro-school movements and the day-long event will look at all of the options open to Virginia Families and discuss greater possibilities in the future.
We sat down with the VEOA director Craig DiSesa to look at those opportunities now and in the future at the State Policy Network Annual Meeting where the growth of school choice was a large portion of the program.
Do you have a bond with a household pet? Do they understand what you say to them -- and, if so, how much? In the first part of this two-part series, Ben, Matt and Noel dive deep into a question that's mystified humanity since the dawn of history: Can we really talk to non-human animals? Not at or to... but with? Tune in to learn how science may finally crack the code and turn us into real-life Doctor Doolittles.
The big budget bill that President Donald Trump signed into law in July allowed tax credits under the Affordable Care Act to expire. That means health insurance costs will increase significantly for millions, disproportionately hitting small business owners and self-employed people. We’ll learn about the impacts. Also this morning: Retailers have already shifted focus from back-to-school shopping to holiday sales. Thing is, the outlook doesn't look too rosy this year.
President Xi Jinping welcomed North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and many other leaders at a huge military parade to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two.
Also in the programme: we report on the disappearance of opposition activists in Tanzania; and after a series of legal setbacks for the Trump Administration, could the coming term be crunch time for both the president and the Supreme Court?

Plus: American Bitcoin, a bitcoin mining company backed by President Trump’s two eldest sons, to list on the Nasdaq. And the U.S. revokes TSMC’s authorization to ship equipment to China. Julie Chang hosts.
More and more, progressives are not only wishing their enemies dead, but making movies lionizing those who commit violence against authority figures and spreading stories about the virtues of assassination. What is this demonic impulse? Give a listen.
President Xi Jinping says China will 'never be intimidated' at a display of military might in Beijing where he was joined by the leaders of Russia and North Korea. The parade was held to mark the anniversary of the victory over Japan in the Second World War. President Trump accused the three leaders of conspiring against the US. Also, the number of people killed in Sunday's earthquake in Afghanistan rises to 1,400, and the wreck of Captain Scott's polar ship, Terra Nova, has been filmed in detail on the sea floor for the first time.
