  • The Fight Over Fluoride

    The Fight Over Fluoride
    Apr 4 2025
    For decades, the majority of Americans have been drinking tap water with added fluoride to improve oral health. But WSJ’s Kris Maher says that backlash to fluoride is spreading. Nearly 20 communities have halted the practice since October and Utah has now banned adding fluoride to water across the state. This comes after a landmark ruling by a federal judge that the mineral poses an “unreasonable” risk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has spoken out against it. Ryan Knutson hosts.

    Trump’s Tariffs Force a New Era in Global Trade
    Apr 3 2025
    Yesterday, in the Rose Garden, President Trump sent out a clear message: the era of globalization is over. Trump announced sweeping tariffs on trillions of dollars of imports. The new duties immediately shook Wall Street and sent stocks plummeting. WSJ’s White House economic policy reporter Brian Schwartz explains how President Trump has wanted this day to happen for decades. And we talk to an American business owner who is deeply worried about what these tariffs mean for his company’s survival. Kate Linebaugh hosts. Sign up for WSJ’s free What’s News newsletter.

Fauci just making things up

Fauci just said we can’t eradicate COVID because of all the unvaccinated people. He’s out of his mind! Clearly vaccinated people are getting and transmitting COVID How does it have anything to do with the unvaccinated? This guy is a broken record; “vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate!”

Hunter Pardon Episode

Really enjoy this podcast and have been listening for about two years but it’s been a few days and still nothing on the Hunter pardon when such a fuss was made about Joes integrity promising not to pardon his son. The problem isn’t even the pardon it’s the virtue signaling that the left continues to ride on but is always one giant lie. Liberal - “Trump is a misogynist” same liberal snorting coke supplied by gangs that murder rape and torture women and children by the hundreds daily. Liberal - “My body my choice” same liberal posting on Facebook after miscarrying about how they need time to recover after losing their child. Could write a million of these. This needs addressing on a podcast about money, business and power. Joe used his political POWER to protect his families criminal BUSINESS dealings so they could keep all of their dirty MONEY.

Decline in quality

I have noticed a sad decline in the reporting over time. I expect objective journalism from WSJ, full of factual content. Instead this is becoming a feel-good report of opinions from one side of the story. Also, personal banter between the reporters is distracting.
