Description

Executive Order on Gain of Function Research: President Trump issued an executive order restricting federal funding for gain of function research, which involves experimenting with viruses and pathogens that could potentially trigger a pandemic. The order aims to prevent US tax dollars from funding such research in countries like China and Iran, and strengthens oversight mechanisms to ensure biomedical research is conducted safely. The controversy around gain of function research became prominent during the COVID-19 pandemic, with theories suggesting the virus might have originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Self-Deportation Program: The Trump administration introduced a program offering $1,000 and travel assistance to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily leave the United States. This initiative aims to save government resources, as deporting an undocumented immigrant costs approximately $17,000. The program uses the CBP home app for migrants to register and self-deport, with the stipend paid once their departure is confirmed. Trade Negotiations: We mention ongoing trade negotiations between the US and Canada, following Canada's federal elections. President Trump is also engaging in trade talks with China, aiming to address tariffs and improve trade relations. Media Coverage and Public Reaction: We highlight media reactions to Trump's policies, noting that pro-immigration advocates are critical of the self-deportation program. It also mentions the media's struggle to criticize the executive order on gain of function research due to its perceived benefits. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
