Scott Adams has questioned the medical consensus regarding the progression of his and Joe Biden's prostate cancer, suggesting the disease is moving at an unnaturally rapid pace.

Adams' skepticism toward his doctors' timelines suggests he believes an external factor accelerated the stage 4 metastasis.

A 911 call from the home of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revealed an aide requesting that the ambulance arrive without lights or sirens to remain "discreet."

The hosts speculate on Austin's true whereabouts and the lack of public appearances since his release from Walter Reed.

Official reports from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center state that Secretary Lloyd Austin underwent surgery for prostate cancer on December 22.
