We thought measles was gone. We thought it was one of those diseases our parents had to worry about, not us. But here we are in 2025, and the CDC just confirmed the highest number of measles cases in more than 30 years. Over 1,200 infections, three deaths, and outbreaks in 39 states. It’s not just back. It’s spreading fast. And it’s hitting communities with low vaccination rates the hardest. West Texas may be the epicenter, but this virus is already everywhere.

In this episode, we break down how we got here and what it means. Vaccination rates have fallen below the threshold for herd immunity. In some schools, only 40 to 60 percent of students are vaccinated. That is a public health disaster waiting to happen. We talk about the dangerous combination of misinformation, political distrust, religious extremism, and poor healthcare access fueling this crisis. We walk through the symptoms, the risks, and the real stories of people being affected.

This is about more than just a virus. It’s about whether we still care for one another. Whether we protect each other. Whether we still believe in truth. If you’re a parent, if you care about public health, or if you’re tired of watching facts get trampled by politics, this episode is for you. Measles didn’t have to come back. But now that it has, we’re going to face it. Together.

Trump mocks Musk’s political ambitions. The health of American kids is worse than we thought. And TSA just flipped the script on airport security. In this episode of The Dangerous Ones, Jim and Tiffany break down three fast-moving stories making headlines and shaking up the system. From Elon Musk’s surprise launch of the “America Party” to a bombshell health report on U.S. children, nothing is off the table.We dive deep into Musk’s announcement, made July 5 on X, where he pitched his tech-minded, centrist third party as a challenger to the two-party “duopoly.” Trump called it “ridiculous,” investors panicked, and Tesla stock dropped 8 percent. Is this a legitimate political threat, a vanity project, or just two billionaires throwing punches while the rest of us get crushed under the fallout? We unpack what this could mean for 2028 and who gets hurt if it takes off.Then we turn to a devastating new study showing American kids are now more likely to be chronically ill, anxious, and overweight than in any year since 2007. Finally, some relief at the airport TSA says the “shoes off” rule is officially on the way out. But with everything else going wrong, we’re not celebrating just yet. Strap in. This one swings.

Trump’s budget is here and it’s brutal. In this episode of The Dangerous Ones, we break down the 10 most devastating ways the so-called “Big Beautiful Budget Bill” hurts everyday Americans. It passed the House by a single vote and now heads to Trump’s desk. This bill kicks 12 million people off Medicaid, raises healthcare costs for seniors, cuts food stamps for adults up to age 64, and wipes out $280 billion in clean energy investments. All of this so billionaires can pocket more tax breaks. This is not policy. It is punishment.We do not hold back. From collapsing rural hospitals to adding $3.3 trillion to the national deficit, this bill is a direct attack on the working class, the poor, and the vulnerable. It strips away support systems millions rely on while rewarding the wealthy with more. We are not here to scare you. We are here to arm you with facts and fire. Watch, listen, and then speak up. This fight is not over. It starts with getting loud.
