Hour 1

Recess Appointments in the Spotlight

Can Matt Gaetz actually get the Senate’s blessing? GOP Rep. Thomas Massie doesn’t seem so sure. He tossed out the term “recess appointments” like it was a Hail Mary pass. This isn’t just some wild speculation either—Senator John Thune, usually cool as a cucumber, agrees. Trump might just pull out the recess appointment card to bypass the Senate and fill those contentious Cabinet spots.

RFK Jr. and the Health Debate

Scott Jennings took a CNN panel to school, delivering a fiery takedown of the “health regime” and explaining why so many people distrust it. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s health policies are stirring the pot. Here are five stances from RFK Jr. that have everyone talking:

  1. Vaccine skepticism.
  2. Environmental health concerns.
  3. Pandemic response overhaul.
  4. Transparency in Big Pharma.
  5. A call to restore public trust.

Kennedy may be a controversial figure, but you can’t ignore the noise around him.


Hour 2

Teen Pneumonia Cases Raise Eyebrows

Here’s a head-scratcher: more teens are being hospitalized with pneumonia, and it’s not your typical cold-weather bug. Some are pointing fingers at lingering effects of COVID-19. Others? They’re claiming a cover-up.

COVID-19: Cover-Up or New Discovery?

Whistleblowers have reignited debates over COVID-19’s origins, alleging the disease’s “blueprint” may have been misclassified. On the flip side, a new study revealed some eye-opening stats about Omicron. While total COVID deaths outnumber flu fatalities by threefold, the severity of individual cases seems pretty close. In fact:

  • ICU admissions are nearly identical.
  • Flu patients see more complications than COVID cases.

And here’s the curveball—immune cells from severe COVID infections might shrink tumors. What’s next? COVID as cancer’s kryptonite?

Advance Auto Parts Closures

Bad news for DIY mechanics: Advance Auto Parts is shutting down hundreds of stores. Turns out, fewer folks are fixing their own cars these days. Guess they’d rather hit the dealership or call a pro.


Hour 3

Interview: Marlin Stutzman

Casey dives deep with Marlin Stutzman to discuss Trump’s latest moves and the GOP’s direction. Stutzman has insights that’ll make you think twice about what’s coming next in the political playbook.

Trump’s Bold DOJ Moves

Hold onto your hats—Trump has appointed his own former legal defense team to major Department of Justice positions. That’s right, the same crew that shielded him from legal troubles is now running key DOJ offices. Coincidence? We think not.

Peanut the Squirrel’s Wild Ride

In one of the strangest headlines of the day, Peanut the Squirrel was euthanized and tested for rabies. The good news? He tested negative. The bad news? Social media lit up like a Christmas tree, turning Peanut into a symbol of overreach and wildlife rights.

Cruise to Escape Trump’s Second Term?

Got Trump Derangement Syndrome? A cruise company has the perfect solution—a 4-year escape from the U.S. if Trump gets reelected. Call it the ultimate political getaway. Bon voyage, folks!


Wrap-Up:
Today’s show was packed with surprises, from political maneuvers to bizarre headlines. Whether it’s Trump’s next big move or Peanut the Squirrel’s legacy, there’s no shortage of things to discuss. Tune in next time for more of The Burning Truth!

Hour 2

Unusual cases of hospitalization among teens with pneumonia

COVID-19 cover-up claims swirl after whistleblower reveals disease ‘blueprint’ may have been wrongly classified

Study: COVID Omicron deaths 3 times higher than for flu, but risks for severe cases similar

More complications with flu

The absolute number of COVID-19 deaths was three times higher than those from flu, but the case-fatality ratio was comparable for COVID-19 (6.2%) and flu (6.1%); after adjustment, patients had a comparable subdistribution hazard ratio (HR) for 30-day in-hospital death (0.91). Similar percentages were admitted to the ICU (2.4% COVID-19 vs 2.6% flu).

A higher percentage of patients were admitted to an intermediate care unit for COVID-19 (2.9%) than for flu (1.4%), and a greater proportion of flu patients had complications than those with COVID-19 (35.3% vs 29.3%).

The adjusted cause-specific HR for in-hospital death from flu versus COVID-19 was 0.94, and the cause-specific HR for flu-patient hospital release compared with COVID-19 hospital release was 1.04. The weighted subdistribution HR for flu death, compared with those from COVID-19, with hospital discharge as a competing risk was 0.91.

Immune cells produced during severe COVID-19 infection may shrink tumors. The unexpected mechanism offers a new therapeutic possibility for advanced and treatment-resistant cancers.

So COVID causes cancer and can cure it now? Yeah, RFK Jr. is the problem.
