Dr. Guptay nails it in first spectacular segment! Standing outside FCC and they refused to speak with him- that says it all!

Full program with Alan, Dr. Black, and Dr. Devra Davis airs tomorrow and Sunday morning at 7:30 am est.

It seems to be a thoughtless statement that I would normally expect from an uneducated cartoon character!
