If you doubt Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s leadership of HHS would be catastrophic to public health, just ask Hawaii Governor Josh Green. He joins Jonathan Capehart to discuss the serious consequences of vaccine misinformation and his first-hand experience in Samoa during a deadly measles outbreak.
During the Republican primaries, Donald Trump’s campaign released “Agenda 47,” a video series outlining his plans should he return to the White House. “Too often, our public health establishment is too close to Big Pharma,” Trump said in a video from June 2023. Another installment from the same month — one that is no longer online — focused on “taking on Big Pharma” by lowering prescription drug prices. Trump has a long track record of talking tough in public and turning soft in private.
The following month, at a dinner convened by billionaire Harold Hamm, Trump told oil industry executives and lobbyists that they should donate $1 billion to his campaign so he could do their bidding in office. No wonder lobbyists have descended on Mar-a-Lago since Trump’s victory: Not only is he the president, but what big business wants, big business gets.
