Definitely. My efforts to stories today are completely infuriating in a moment and a few moments I'm going to talk about the latest with the spending interest

oh and do everything they can to kill the bill will get to that. But first I want to start with this.
of Stephen Danziger, the attorney who now is surrendering to prison, and it is an absolutely insane story. If you ve not been following the story, it is just like a perfect exam
bull of so much of what is wrong with so many different systems that we have in the country. So let's read the latest report

I've found Danziger guilty of contempt in July

every effort was made to exhaust every legal resource possible, and I believe it was yesterday or the day before. Yes, I think the day before it was decided that yesterday he would term turn himself over to Connecticut.
Prison or institution. The institute of prisons are the board of prisons or whatever it's called in Connecticut for the six months sentence.
other people hadn't heard this story is absolutely and completely bonkers. Ando
I don't think this is the end of it and we're gonna continue covering it.
You all know that I
in general, a pragmatist, I
a sort of real politic realist. I understand
That change often comes in small steps. I dont want to let the perfect become
the enemy of the good, but
It may be time for progressive to kill what is increasingly a guided infrastructure and spend

There is almost nothing left in it.

Senator Joe Mansion support. Democrats are expected to scrap,

discarding one of the central plank of Joe Biden proposal as they
scrambled to strike a deal with hold out senators, the

and now as
filming this is about to happen. Joe Biden is expected to announce new social spending, a new social spending framework to try to get every Democrat on board

are now talk. Talking about are so
small in terms of what's left of this bill, that
we may mostly have a pseudo

indeed, as a political win for Republicans by
having been able to get all sorts of stuff removed and
It's going to be barely anything and I am
essentially ready to say you know
it has some things in it. That makes sense, but the pig, big picture
is now so dire. It's so grim. It's so pathetic that it may be tat
to kill this bill and say hey, you need us progressives for this.
You and your losing us what
has been removed. So far. My best understood you it's actually hard to encapsulate,
everything that's been removed so far for a bunch of it,

because this is going to eat all count as
something was done when it's two percent five
percent not by dollar value, but in terms of the components, five percent of what it was supposed to be done, and
everybody, but the left gets a win. Republicans,
what nothing done while they almost get a win. If this passes, because there's almost nothing left of it, centrists get what they want,
because they have managed to get all of the important stuff for most of the important stuff out of it or scale it down or whatever? So I am,
you're standing. You know that. I note the other shows pretend that the country's way more left than it actually is and all these different stuff. I don't do that here. I feel like one of the things.
try to do is give you an honest and accurate assessment of,
or is the country on a lot of these issues, the country as well to the left of this bill. There is no doubt about it.
and what we have at this point is, I don't
Oh, if the term pyrrhic victory even applies, because I dont know that it's victory even a pyrrhic one. I want to hear from you. Is this something that any

spotted this morning that I wanted to discuss with
you today. One asks
can win in twenty twenty four
David, Sir. If you read this I'd, like your take, despite it being too early, I just don't
see, Biden running in twenty twenty four he'll be in his eighties, and I think that
three years will affect him far more than pass President's Harris, maybe the presumptive nominee, but she seems like a weak candidates versus tramper descend to so who would be a strong candidate in twenty twenty four give five bucks a month. Voter registered registration and outreach programmes today.
Yet this is me, listen! That's the analysis I made about two months ago and I said, were not yet ready a really talk about this in detail, because there are so many unknown who will be the republican Domini.
Joe Biden running for reelection, if not is Kamel Harris the presumptive nominee, but I've said before most
wrote to me about it agreed. Although a few people were were kind of upset with me, I see it
its trump is the nominee and twenty twenty four
I see. A four
oh Joe Biden, who will have been attacked for four years and will be in his eighties at that point as having a tough time beating Trump a second time if
not Joe Biden and its common Harris. I
see common Harris who remains not particularly popular today. But there is still a lot of time to go. I
He com, a hair, is having a very tough time against Donald Trump and then, if it's not
tromp and its right now
based on polling run dissent, as would be, the most problems
name, although it took its very early, and this is why it's tough to talk about it
I see Rhonda Santas as a more competent version of Trump, who also has a totally plausible chance of
feeding, someone like Joe Biden or Cobble Harris being from Florida could help him with this
data Florida as well. So I share the concern I dont have answers. I'm asking all the same questions as this fewer
I'm coming to so far more or less the same conclusions, and I don't have the answer?
but maybe people in the audience do another post. I spotted asks why,
you support something similar to a vaccine passport but for anti bodies seems like
It would be something the left and right could compromise on, but I don't hear it being proposed from the left. I'm wondering if there are arguments against it or if people are,
even against it. So I guess the question: is
if you could prove you have anti bodies to the corona virus, should that count
being vaccinated anywhere that you need to be vaccinated if you
anti bodies under its it's very complicated? There
two primary problems. I think why
It is an
bodies as measured by typical blood test measure,
only one type of anti body and its only one element of immunity. We still
don't know how does that
number relate to your level of protection.
An ability to spread
verses other types of
the bodies and potential immunity? So that's part, one part two,
there is less consistency about natural anti bodies and how long
they last we don't know
you're, more sick, do you
develop more anti bodies when you recover it all these types of things are still being explored and so well there still very ability in terms of,
and he body development with vaccines.
There is more known and its more uniform and more consistent and decay appears to be more predictable. So I think that those are sort of like the two main issues would sing.
we should have an anti body passport just
do a vaccine pass were also its
diffidently more expensive to test
anti bodies, and it also is much more involved than simply the goat. You get a vaccine, it's free to the end user,
would pay. For you know. Different people have different blood test coverage
through insurance, it starts to get quite quite complicated at last thing, this
the very interesting article that was posted. All of the discussion of the
worker shortage that we ve been seeing its impact,
and to know that
since March of twenty twenty, the. U S has issued. Why
Point two million fewer visas to work
legible foreigners. So a lot of the right wingers and by the way this report is from the Cato Institute, not exactly a left wing publication. Why,
of the reasons right wing
you're saying? Oh, it's PETE Buddha judges, fault, it's Joe Biden, fault, Joe Biden into
The Grinch who stole Christmas because of
ply chain issues in all the stuff. We already know the supply chain
issues were an issue in twenty twenty. Nobody was blaming transportation Secretary Alain Chow back then nobody was really blew.
Tromp. For that now there blaming Biden, Buddha Judge, but the other issues, the? U S has
you'd far fewer
eligible foreigner visa. Since March of twenty twenty partially under the guise of the pandemic, guess
that is a big factor because the U S counts on that labour and it's not being discussed at all, and it should be that
that is eight something right. Wingers may not even know about or may be glad about, because they say these people are
killing our jobs etc? Will that
part of why we're having these supply chain and and labour resource issues right now joined the discussion at David, Pachmann, dot, com, slash, read it
this is really really great stuff? We're going to look at now, Remit
we're trumps legal adviser, John Eastman he's the lawyer who wrote the info
Miss Coup memo with various ideas as to how may be Donald Trump would be able to steal the twenty twenty election
Lauren Windsor. Our friend from the under current, has done it again and has gotten under
cover, video speaking to John Eastman, essentially just bragging about the entire memo, his role and everything. Let's take. Let's just go
right into it. We ve got video
got audio. The video is subtitled, let's just jump right in and see. This is amazing stuff. By the way, this is Lauren pretending to be a trump supporter. She's been doing this
for months and she gets people to put down their garden, say really horrible and damning things. At any rate, we got inside you to go down the capital, and I am delighted that my name in our democracy will be so good. A blowing smoke a people's asses itself, one island where you are, in my view very much. If you really know the words were all godly, while I heard me say while, but, as I said, a good eye catching him coming over the target at my God, I'm a regular. I dont think that anybody in coming, maybe than other than trembling self and biggest importer rather odd argument. I am I doing any lying. So this understand what she's doing she's she's continuing to blow smoke it you know and say
memo with, like your six or eight ways,
the steel, the election? I thought it was totally solid,
and how dare MIKE Pence not actually go forward, not aiming at you mean and illegal reining in I know I know now is now in these latter days ago, already from winning under his and my arguments about mammal that they also had no credibility, amyloid earth. The ammo, like your mean running right, exactly gradually separate I'd, say that right. So, first of all, the idea that may be the memo was sort of like ingest or whatever he seems
I really believe that that was a way to steal the election.
Amy languidly early or evening it only dollar, maybe lying in the mortar like. Why am I doing them as them? How about that ha trot
legal adviser who came up with a way to steal the election sang the reason Pence didn't do it spends his establishment pence depends to a stir,
bullshit? You really do what needed to be done to stab Mulligan ended as very mild. Drawing from doing is destroying the inside monopoly and reviving the Republican Party in the Netherlands, where they are more of a wild and an uprising. That's got in there and he saw it and got ahead of time. They all his sky is a true believer of this idea. That tromp was this big threat to the US
the abolition than he was coming in in doing this. In doing that, and that's why my pants and others didn't did didn't help
prompt. Take the election that if there is
ever a true believer. It's this guy. We have another clip here and it's it's just as crazy. Let's continue watching came down down down again so understand. The question here is
tromp himself did marched to the capital like he said he was going to with that of maybe succeeded in stopping the count on a regular window had already started, and if he got me got down there that I like how he minimizes the insurrectionists coup as the
making of the windows there was a little more going on and breaking windows when they would have had more meaning. I know I know I know said John Sullivan Geiger, basically down again again video alive. So again, this gap,
is how dangerous these people are. We
necessarily know with this Eastman character.
Is he a true believer, or did he get
paid to write a memo like ok, yeah here is like a hypothetical, very hypothetical. This. Nobody,
really going to pay attention to this? No one's gonna believe this. This wouldn't even really work out are now I'll, just write it for you cause I'm getting paid. No, no. No. This
your cover video seems to be making clear. This guy is a true believer. He believe
the anti for conspiracy theories, he believed,
it was actually legally viable to steal the election. The way he outlined in the map. It's it's incredible were his words, another five level instigating within the happy I was so. The riots were anti foot and the FBI guys want evening. I now Ireland ninety down anywhere engaging in violent ringing right where and what he said on his down their peacefully and patriotically your voice, her that's what you actually, what trumpeted was even hours after there had been violent riots, four hours, Trump reluctantly,
did a video where he says it's time to go home, but he mentioned we love you and you're completely justified in being here. I know why you're here it was stolen, etc, but
it's time to go home after just hours of pressure of people. Saying Trump, sir, you got it.
To say something you gotta get get these people home. There's a third part to this interview which, as this
that we're. Recording today show Lauren Windsor has not yet released, but I encourage you to take a look at it when it is incredible stuff and
have more on this on our instagram, which you can find it. David Pachmann show.

welcome to the programme today, David lists, who is a health services researcher Northwestern University? He conducts research to improve,
quality and value of primary care. Delivery, David
great having you on today,
So you know in the context of Obama CARE, but also, more generally, there's the
discussion of of preventive health care,
idea that it's cheaper to prevent or treat some
early than it is to wait until
becomes more serious. I think that intuitively makes sense to to a lot of people, but that
take sort of a lot of different forms and shapes. One can be. You go in
the doktor every year and they feel around listen to your lungs, etc. That could
include doing regular blood, work, cholesterol, complete blood, cow, etc. Then there's
so other types of screening, starting to do PS, say and pray.
State exams for men at certain ages, coal and mammograms, etc. So, there's all this different stuff. How can
start to kind of categorize these things and think about the impact on people's people's health from them. Well, I think
I would at least what we do here in the research world or another sort of medical care world is
Theirs,
An organisation called the: U S, preventive services task force, and
that's been around for a while, and
What the formal corrected is that what it is
hook, services that are recommended by this group, the? U S, PTSD Earth, as we call and services that are recommended by the by this group, are now four
the covered under pretty much all, were certainly most insurance plant. The people have
so we're talking about some of the things you mentioned there are things like coal and ask of bees and colorectal cancer screening mammography for women aged fifty to seventy four I reckon
vaccinations, etc. So there are many services that have been shown. There is clear
did they can help. People live longer, healthier lives.
and there's been disk
Researchers who has really sifted through the data continues poor, threw it over years and they
these are beneficial services. Other things like, I think,
Screening that I think you may imagine Pierre say task. Even these kind of routine lab test, alot of those services are actually recommended to be done regularly, maybe for some high risk patience, but for your average low risk patients. Some of those services are not recommended by this group. An arm necessarily covered for free through your insurance plants.
yes, so you do. That
is this idea of what is it that were trying to do like with a general health check and one
answer would be well we're trying to diagnose something
earlier in order to control it
and then a subsequent question. I guess would be ok if we do that, are we
improving quality of life for extending life, and- and I guess the answer is not always. Yes, it kind of depends what we're doing right it too
Yes, but I'm again there are a lot of kinds of screenings. We can do a lot of can respect your checks that can be done where again, if you catch it early and there are
the aim of all well known treatments. You can certainly be extending life and quality of life.
the problem? There is that there
you're doing things that are necessarily recommended me back
Ghana could fall arranging things like p? I say TAT could be things like routine last. There is potential for a lot of these false
positives as you or maybe the test find something in it is potentially worrisome and leads to the sort of cascade of testing lots of worry on the part of the patient edition
testing and sometimes also no reasons offered, sometimes for all other mammography that happen. Sometimes so will we
while we try to do so in the research world medical world,
find a balance between whether it
as we heard, I think sometimes when we think about the vaccination to paper for top it. Where are you
potential benefits outweigh the potential harms and again there are several services, certainly colorectal cancer screening being what were. The potential benefits certainly clearly outweigh the potential arms one of the things I read and I be interested in hearing what your research has shown or your take on it. Is that a lot of the things that are done?
on that kind of India, cardio vascular under the cardiovascular umbrella? Don't see
to actually reduce and individuals chance of having a heart attack. What is is, can you tell
about that a little bit? Is that true? What is it even mean to say that
well. What would I, when I certainly can't say, is there someone
bread and butter things we think about most breed. Most ass, they are typically checking
your blood pressure nervously that all hard hunches is that
The Ngos are certainly one of the most important things that can happen in terms of
helping people
if I have a problem and getting it under control with many
highly active out
expensive treatments that
help prevent heart attacks, road death and set out.
Other, maybe more exotic kind of tests again
doing a lot of digging doing a lot
have tested, are necessarily recommended again
We were talking about the potential harm. Could I waited potential benefit when we
about the annual physical for a second,
and we have the parts which are a disk
russian, where you might mention symptoms or answer lifestyle questions
And then you have the physical exam with
depending on one's age varies, and then you have here are the blood tests
other things that I want you to do everything but the fish?
the goal exam could be done virtually
What do we, my about three, and what do we know about the importance of the part? That's happening.
Person with the annual physical versus the other and, of course, once you at a certain age in their there's a of Europe, a prostate check that obviously cannot be done virtually
so you're right. A these sort of elements of these visits could be done virtually
What I would also say is that work tomorrow, research has shown ambitious. Research really clearly shows that the physical
examine some. A comprehensive physical is not necessary. One.
Has been shown to be clearly affected. I think you alluded to. There is we're talking about lots of screening flask, but a risk factor checks.
and again, as he said, a lot of that could be done virtually
could be done. Even on can sometimes be a questionnaire on your computer
things like screening for depression stream
problem. Drinking screening for smoking tobacco use,
So much of this is
the screening is, can be done virtually
what were the. I think what was interesting, what we like to learn. What can be done really well virtually what are some good model to do that? First, really, it's really is a lot of work that can be done, but let's say you do find. A patient is depressed. Now
