We conclude our conversation with a discussion of housing policy.This interview was recorded while I was in Valdez on a walk with Jimmy, so you will hear occasional background noise including a very angry raven.

President Trump is not immune to criticism from MAHA supporters who voted for him at the behest of Robert F. Kennedy Jr – especially when it comes to mRNA. Though RFK is delivering on promises to investigate the causes of autism and remove fluoride from public water, Trump's FDA just granted “fast track designation” for a potential bird flu vaccine – a self-amplifying, ‘next-generation' mRNA in phase 1 clinical trials. Why is Trump so attached to developing mRNA when an enormous number of his voters are against it? Jack Posobiec is a Senior Editor at Human Events and a veteran Navy Intelligence Officer.
