Reports indicate that the FBI has raided medical spas for offering high-dose intravenous Vitamin C as a treatment for COVID-19.

The hosts discuss the potential effectiveness of IV Vitamin C based on historical medical papers.
Duck and Cover Generation, Cold War Indoctrination
Reflecting on childhood during the Cold War, the hosts compare modern climate anxiety to the "duck and cover" drills of the 1950s and 60s.

During the Democratic debate, Martin O'Malley called for the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act, prompting Anderson Cooper to immediately read a prepared explanatory card. The hosts suggest the exchange was a "setup" because Cooper had the technical details ready on a cheat sheet. This leads to a tangent comparing O'Malley's appearance to Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling, known for his advocacy of mega-dose Vitamin C.
