Then Jon sits down with Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of Baylor's National School of Tropical Medicine, on measles hitting an all-time high and the growing war on public health — before the panel sounds off on soaring gas prices, a new NY Times survey showing health premiums about to skyrocket, NYC's AI ban in elementary and middle schools, and their own frustration over sky-high travel prices heading into Labor Day weekend.\n\nJon closes it out lighter with a Georgia teacher's classroom \"gas station\" — the only gas station in town where prices are down and emissions are up.\n\nText Jon your take: 202-968-2449\n"}
