About this episode

The episode discusses the spread of hantavirus on a cruise ship, political dynamics involving Iran and President Trump, rising gas prices, and insurance claim issues in California.

A rare form of hantavirus is believed to have spread person-to-person on board a cruise ship. Iran's leverage depends on President Trump feeling political pressure at home. Gas prices are up and support for the war is not. The California Department of Insurance is accusing State Farm, the nation's largest home insurance company, of delaying, denying and underpaying claims after last year's wildfires.
