The conversation focused on how recent measles outbreaks are prompting some parents who once aligned with the MAHA movement to reconsider and return to the MMR vaccine. Next, Dr. Sal Mercogliano, Chair of the Department of History, Criminal Justice, and Political Science at Campbell University and host of the popular YouTube channel “What’s Going On With Shipping,” explained the concept of naval blockades and why tensions in the Strait of Hormuz can have such a significant impact on global trade, oil markets, and prices felt by consumers at home. Then Sven Beckert, Laird Bell Professor of History at Harvard University, joined the show to discuss capitalism, its historical development, and how global economic systems continue to shape modern society and political debate.
