6:30 Longtime TV announcer RANDY WEST (The Price is Right, Deal or No Deal, Supermarket Sweep) & author of
TV INSIDE OUT
TV INSIDE-OUT is a feast for readers who thrive on backstage stories. It is a smorgasbord of showbiz flukes, flakes, feuds and felonies. A thirty-year industry veteran, television announcer and actor, Randy West, has broken the silence surrounding dozens of surprising-sometimes shocking- mostly-untold stories of celebrity dysfunction.
This BearmanorMedia release exposes outrageous celebrity misbehavior, toxic dysfunctional relationships, senseless executive blunders and million dollar production foul-ups, while sparking a myriad of stunning revelations garnered from candid on-set conversations in Hollywood studios and soundstages.
7:35 Dr. Jane Orient M.D., Executive Director, Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, jane@aapsonline.org
We talk about the RFK/CDC controversy and this:
Health Watch: How Are Your Medical Costs Doing?
Since the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare) passed in 2010, how are you doing?
As the graph shows, health insurance premiums have grown steadily, and this was not slowed by ACA. Since 2000, the average U.S. family health insurance premium has increased from $6,000 to more than $25,000 in 2024. That’s a 297% increase, more than triple overall inflation. This does not tell the whole story because deductibles and copays have also increased, as have denials of coverage.
Obviously, mandating insurance and requiring cost-free inclusion of “preventive” services did not lower costs.
(note from Bill – Official Inflation from 2000 to 2025 has been 87% )
Health “insurance” is actually not insurance but prepayment for consumption through a third party. True health insurance, which reimburses the subscriber—not the provider—according to the terms of the contract (as through an indemnity table), has practically vanished. Such insurance covers only unpredictable catastrophic costs, not routine or known costs. It does not “manage” care, but just pays bills, like other casualty insurance. Premiums are based on risks, as calculated by actuaries.
There are uninsurable risks, and uninsurable people. Such needs must be met by other mechanisms such as charity or welfare or fraternal organizations or employee benefits.
Costs will never come down as long as “other people” are forced to pay for “all necessary care.”

8:10 Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, director of DO NO HARM medicine. www.DoNoHarmMedicine.org
Despite the Supreme Court’s decision banning affirmative action, many medical schools continue to practice race-based admissions, according to watchdog group Do No Harm.
In his recent op-ed, DNH Chairman Dr. Stanley Goldfarb lays out his plan to fix med school admissions and focus them on merit instead of race.
Dr. Goldfarb proposes that medical schools announce a minimum MCAT and GPA score, then institute a lottery system for applications that clear those bars. He calls for federal and state action to ban schools from considering anything but merit when choosing applications, including tying federal funding to implementing this system.
