Trump’s Oval Office Meltdown, Bongino Exits FBI, and UnitedHealth’s Deadly Denials

Last night’s Oval Office address from Donald Trump was meant to reassure the nation—but instead became an awkward, rambling spectacle that many are calling an international embarrassment. Trump insisted the economy is “fine,” listed supposed accomplishments, and brushed off serious problems as minor issues he alone can fix. The result was painful to watch—and deeply revealing.

Was it incompetence, denial, or something else entirely? And does it explain why Dan Bongino abruptly stepped down as FBI Deputy Director?

Plus, a major reckoning for UnitedHealthcare. After years of denying and delaying critical care, the company now faces wrongful death lawsuits following the deaths of three nursing home residents who were blocked from emergency hospital treatment. Is accountability finally coming—and how many more cases are waiting in the shadows?

LANCE’S QUEST TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF A CIVIL WAR SUBMARINE
 
In this episode, Ben Spohn interviews Dr. Rachel Lance, an Assistant Consulting Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the Duke University School of Medicine on her new book, In the Waves: My Quest to Solve the Mystery of A Civil War Submarine (Dutton, 2020). Lance is a biomedical engineer and blast-injury specialist by training.  Before earning her Phd. at Duke University, she worked as an engineer for the United States Navy, building specialized underwater equipment.

In In the Waves: My Quest to Solve the Mystery of a Civil War Submarine (Dutton, 2020) Lance documents how she developed and tested her own theory on the sinking of the HL Hunley, a Confederate submarine lost after sinking just  one Union ship, the U.S.S. Housatonic. Lance’s research at Hagley provided her with background knowledge on the finer points of blackpowder manufacture and explosions. Lance’s historical research and experiments with black powder explosions and her own miniature version of the HL Hunley lend support to her theory: The HL Hunley and her crew were lost due to the explosive shockwave unleashed by the torpedo used to sink the USS Housatonic.
