RFK Jr. is now running the Department of Health and Human Services. So we sat down with journalist and Conspirituality co-host Derek Beres to get an idea about how long it will take for Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) agenda to revive the black plague. We chat about why Beres argues that Kennedy's wellness-sounding platform masks an exclusionary health vision which amounts to “soft eugenics,” RFK Jr's endorsement of the MMR vaccine and how this angered his followers, harmful narratives about autism which will probably be endorsed by the federal government, and how the MAHA Commission's AI-generated report doesn't seriously address health problems facing children.

At the beginning of May, the National Institutes of Health, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, announced a plan to develop a universal vaccine platform. Think: a single shot for flu or COVID-19 that would last years, maybe a lifetime. The plan—called Generation Gold Standard—has a reported budget of $500 million, and a tight deadline. But will it work? And where does the science on this actually stand? In this live broadcast, Hosts Flora Lichtman and Ira Flatow talk with epidemiologist Michael Osterholm and vaccine researcher Ted Ross.Guests: Michael Osterholm is Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota.Dr. Ted Ross is the global director of vaccine research at the Cleveland Clinic's Florida Research and Innovation Center in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

McKenzie came to Blue Rose after working in the private sector, working for Jamal Bowman, and working in the Biden administration's Department of Health and Human Services — she believes in progressive values and she wants to win elections. In this episode, Matt and McKenzie discuss: * The central role of the cost of living in the 2024 election.* The importance of partisan realignment based around engagement with news and politics. * The deep unpopularity of Joe Biden and the need for Democrats to internalize that as they move forward. Then, behind the paywall, what are the Trump administration's biggest points of vulnerability? What are Democrats getting right and wrong about highlighting those issues? Most of all, McKenzie makes the case for a disciplined approach that ties everything back to core values that motivate progressives and also resonate with swing voters.All that, plus the full Politix archive are available to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading: * The full Blue Rose slide deck.* Matt's article on Republicans' Medicaid cuts.* A corporate marketing guru's appreciation and praise of Bernie Sanders' message discipline.
It's one of the oldest sins in the world, and yet somehow still the most unthinkable: the exploitation of children by the powerful. And if recent revelations are even half true, America isn't just tolerating it — we may be systematizing it.In 1885, a British journalist exposed a hidden network of child brothels in London's West End — a story so horrific it was dubbed The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon. The outcry shook Parliament. A generation later, the Japanese Empire trafficked over 200,000 young women — many underage — as “comfort women” for its soldiers in World War II.This evil isn't new. It's old. It's persistent. And it always hides behind institutions that claim to serve the weak.Today, figures like RFK Jr. are alleging that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has served not as a barrier to trafficking, but as a facilitator. Meanwhile, Sean “Diddy” Combs faces a mounting storm of accusations — not just from the media, but from over 80 civil litigants, some of whom were underage at the time of the alleged abuse.The world calls it conspiracy. But what if it's just exposure?This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

What can you or your organization do to make the workplace more inclusive for people with autism?Recently, RFK Jr., the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, attracted considerable criticism following his disparagingly blanket statements about people with autism. Many people in the autism community lead fulfilling lives full of love, joy, and productive work—despite the hapless and hopeless depiction of this population that RFK shared. This is an excellent moment to draw attention to my conversation with Amanda Kelly, the president and CEO of Firefly Autism and one of the founders of the groundbreaking Colorado Neurodiversity Chamber of Commerce (CNDCC). It's impossible not to look at our growing talent shortage in this country and ask: why aren't we hiring neurodivergent and autistic people? In this episode, Amanda dives into how we can all make our workplaces more welcoming for neurodivergent individuals, who make up one-fifth of our population. Whether you're neurodiverse or neurotypical, Amanda's jaw-dropping stats and pursuit of equity will inspire you:Learn about the shocking lack of career resources for autistic adults;Discover how organizations can make their workplaces more inclusive, for neurodivergent people and beyond;Break down the ongoing issues of neurodiversity and inequities in diagnosis; Understand the unique gender component of autism and its impacts.Related Links:Firefly Autism - https://fireflyautism.org/Colorado Neurodiversity Chamber of Commerce - https://www.cndcc.org/Connect with Amanda on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-d-kelly-d-psych-2b5957a0/RFK Jr., “Autism destroys families” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPxTnX1sgJc“Addressing the ‘Cliff' for Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder” - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33539916/NYT, “The Dangerous Race to Put More Children to Work” - https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/24/opinion/editorials/arkansas-child-labor.htmlAutism Recovery Network, “Why Is the Autistic Unemployment Rate So High?” - https://autismrecovery.sg/why-is-the-autistic-unemployment-rate-so-high/Episode 390, How to Manage ADHD in the Workplace - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode390TAKE ACTION with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/

In the twenty years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, powerful hurricanes such as Sandy, Irma, Maria and Helene have caused immense property destruction and led to thousands of deaths. If Katrina taught us anything, it was to be prepared for the unimaginable. But have we learned that lesson? In this episode, part of a series tied to the 20th anniversary of Katrina, we report from the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans about what we've learned in the years since. Emergency management teams from the Virgin Islands reflect on the two Category 5 hurricanes that hit within just two weeks of each other in 2017, scientists describe how climate change is reshaping hurricanes and our new tools for forecasting them. Meanwhile dark clouds are gathering. As we head into hurricane season, the administration proposes to slash funding for agencies that are tasked with helping us prepare and recover from natural disasters, such as NOAA and the National Weather Service. Guests: Yvette Henry – Community Affairs Coordinator at the Department of Human Services in the US Virgin Islands Abigail Hendricks – Emergency Support Function #6 coordinator on the island of St John, Virgin Islands Meaghan Enright – executive director of the nonprofit, Love City Strong that works on disaster preparedness, response, and recovery on the island of St John, Virgin Islands Rebeca Mueller – Director of media coordination, National Hurricane Conference Michael Brennan – Director, National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida Julie Roberts – Former director of communications and Deputy Chief of Staff for NOAA during the first Trump administration.

Cohosts Yvette Raphael and Ben Plumley unpick the major news coming out of the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva. – from the new pandemic treaty, to WHO budget and staffing cuts, to increases in membership fees and voluntary contributions. They ruminate on how the current seemingly-unstoppable geopolitical chaos is affecting the ability of global health institutions like the World Health Organisation to deliver – and deliver on what exactly? What can the WHO actually do in such a fractured political climate? They reflect on US Secretary of Health and Human Service's video presentation to the World Health Assembly, which at the very best, can't be called the best example of American power and diplomacy. Which perhaps was the point. They cover a few broader issues Which leads them to a few extra-curricular activities – the diplomatic manner in which South African President Cyril Ramaphosa immediately deflected a bizarre meeting at the US White House, complete with lies, videotape and no offers of jumbo jets. Before hitting Geneva, Yvette was at the European Congress on Obesity and Weight Management in Barcelona delving into the complex interactions between HIV and weight issues. They close out a no holds barred conversation on a recent announcement made by the Global Fund of a new groundbreaking partnership between Mozambique and a Kenyan pharmaceutical company, which they were too coy to name.

After an unusual all-night session, the House narrowly passed a budget reconciliation bill, including billions of dollars in tax cuts for the wealthy, along with billions of dollars in spending cuts to Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and the food stamp program. But the Senate is expected to make major changes to the measure before it can go to President Trump for his signature.Meanwhile, the Department of Health and Human Services has made some significant changes affecting the availability of covid-19 vaccines.Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico, Anna Edney of Bloomberg News, and Sarah Karlin-Smith of the Pink Sheet join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more.Also this week, Rovner interviews University of California-Davis School of Law professor and abortion historian Mary Ziegler about her new book on the past and future of the “personhood” movement aimed at granting legal rights to fetuses and embryos.Visit our website for a transcript of this episode.Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week they think you should read, too:Julie Rovner: The Washington Post's “White House Officials Wanted To Put Federal Workers ‘in Trauma.'

This week, the Department of Health and Human Services made waves with a shocking announcement: C*VID injections are no longer recommended for most Americans under the age of 65. In a sweeping statement, the agency admitted it “doesn't know” the long-term health effects of the shots. Until more data is available, recommendations for these injections will be paused for the majority of the population. Let's discuss!

In our first episode of This Is Growing Old: The Check Up, we reflect on our conversation last month with Natalie Kean, Director of Federal Health Advocacy at Justice in Aging. During our chat, Natalie emphasized the serious implications of proposed cuts to Medicaid and SNAP for vulnerable Americans. Around the same time, we also saw reductions in federal funding and staffing at the Department of Health and Human Services, further threatening health security for people living with Alzheimer's and related diseases, and other chronic conditions.Today, we're checking in with Adina Lasser, the Alliance's Director of Public Policy and Government Relations, to get an update on these developments, what the Alliance is doing in response, and why it matters to you, our listeners.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/22/2025): 3:05pm- Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which is critical of the Biden Administration for covering up the president's physical and cognitive decline, was released earlier this week. While Tapper is now reporting on internal stories about Biden's health decline, why did he—and the rest of the mainstream media—largely ignore the story prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? While speaking with journalist Tara Palmeri, DC insider Sally Quinn accused former First Lady Jill Biden of “elderly abuse” for allowing her husband to initially run for re-election in 2024. 3:30pm- While appearing on Fox News, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) discussed his recent request for the Department of Justice to investigate Joe Biden's cognitive and physical decline while serving as president. 3:40pm- While on NewsNation, Axios reporter and Original Sin co-author Alex Thompson said that Biden Administration officials were shocked that the mainstream media was unwilling to investigate Joe Biden's cognitive and physical decline—instead, constantly taking the White House's word without any critical examination. 3:50pm- To absolutely no one's surprise, Matt has never seen the classic film Spaceballs. Plus, the debate over brioche buns rages on! 4:05pm- On Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released its Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) commission report investigating chronic illness—determining that the health of children nationwide has been negatively impacted by ultra-processed foods, chemical exposures, the over prescription of pharmaceutical drugs, and a lack of emphasis on exercise. From the White House, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald Trump announced the results of the report and spoke to the press. Kennedy explained: “never in American history has the federal government taken a position on public health like this”—noting that it had been an ambition of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, before he was killed. 4:45pm- During Thursday's White House briefing, reporter Peter Doocy asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt if unelected Biden Administration staffers concealed the former president's decline so that they could use the levers of power for their own personal gain. 5:05pm- Jennifer Galardi—Senior Policy Analyst for Restoring American Wellness in The Heritage Foundation's DeVos Center—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to assess the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) newly released Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission report investigating chronic illness. The report determines that the health of children nationwide has been negatively impacted by ultra-processed foods, chemical exposures, the over prescription of pharmaceutical drugs, and a lack of emphasis on exercise. 5:35pm- On Wednesday night two Israeli Embassy staffers were tragically shot and killed outside of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C. In a post to X, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that the shooting will be investigated as an “act of terror.” 5:45pm- Steve Hilton—GOP Candidate for Governor of California, former Senior Advisor to the U.K. Prime Minister, and a former Fox News Host—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his campaign and his potential gubernatorial opponent Kamala Harris's role in covering up Joe Biden's physical and mental decline. Hilton argues that as Vice President, Harris was as responsible as anyone for lying to the American people—demonstrating her failure as a leader and disqualifying her from any future office.

We discuss some of RFK's more unseemly beliefs, the responses to his nomination so far, and how his nomination doesn't come out of nowhere, but instead follows decades of struggles over the political economy of health that have laid the groundwork for a figure like him to come into power.

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet is president and CEO of Truth for Health Foundation. Since February 2020, she has been part of the team of frontline physicians treating COVID early at home. With Dr. Peter McCullough, she is a co-author/editor of the Guide to COVID Early Treatment: Options to Stay Out of Hospital and Save Your Life. Jim noted that today Senator Ron Johnson held a hearing and released 2,400 pages of records detailing the failure of federal health agencies, under the Biden administration, to properly warn the public about the risk of myocarditis-related heart inflammation conditions following the mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations. Dr. Vliet responded by indicating how unconscionable it was that our taxpayer dollars were going to federal agencies that were lying to us and allowing people to die as a result of their push of this experimental, gene-therapy shot. This is the first salvo in a program that looks at other troubling news coming forth concerning the COVID-19 shots. For example, Dr. Vliet commented on the following: A peer reviewed study in Pediatric Rheumatology indicates that children and adolescents who received at least one COVID-19 shot had a 23% higher risk of developing autoimmune disease compared to unvaccinated children. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University confirm that COVID vaccines are reducing human population by lowering birth rates. A senior medical advisor at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, who is also a world-renowned virologist, is warning that the mRNA vaccines are a dangerous experiment as he raises alarms about the presence of the cancer-causing SV-40 enhancer in the injections.
The nutrition title was first included in the 1973 farm bill. It's projected to make up 84% of total Farm Bill spending, with most of the funds going to SNAP. That's because the program helps more than 40 million low-income individuals provide food for their families each month. Some of those people are farmers. In this episode, we talk to Mark Nicholson, Senior Director of Policy at the Fair Food Network to dig into how the farm bill links farms and food access. And we'll talk to farmers about how they are uniquely positioned to directly provide nutritious food for the families in their communities. Mark Nicholson, Senior Director of Policy, Fair Food NetworkMark joined the Fair Food Network after an extensive career in leading organizations involved in national agriculture policy and specialty crop production. He is a third-generation apple farmer and spent much of his professional life co-running a New York-based family business, including developing value-added products to increase revenue to the farm. His work advocating for the specialty crop industry over the past two decades earned him national recognition as a skilled and dedicated policy expert, included roles as the Chairman of the Board and member of the Government Affairs Committee for the U.S. Apple Association (USApple). Mark also spent time in his early career working in government at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and at USApple. Mark brings multiple perspectives to the agriculture policy world, and a strong passion and understanding for the myriad issues that face family farms today. Read his full bio.

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet is president and CEO of Truth for Health Foundation. Since February 2020, she has been part of the team of frontline physicians treating COVID early at home. With Dr. Peter McCullough, she is a co-author/editor of the Guide to COVID Early Treatment: Options to Stay Out of Hospital and Save Your Life. Jim noted that today Senator Ron Johnson held a hearing and released 2,400 pages of records detailing the failure of federal health agencies, under the Biden administration, to properly warn the public about the risk of myocarditis-related heart inflammation conditions following the mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations. Dr. Vliet responded by indicating how unconscionable it was that our taxpayer dollars were going to federal agencies that were lying to us and allowing people to die as a result of their push of this experimental, gene-therapy shot. This is the first salvo in a program that looks at other troubling news coming forth concerning the COVID-19 shots. For example, Dr. Vliet commented on the following: A peer reviewed study in Pediatric Rheumatology indicates that children and adolescents who received at least one COVID-19 shot had a 23% higher risk of developing autoimmune disease compared to unvaccinated children. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University confirm that COVID vaccines are reducing human population by lowering birth rates. A senior medical advisor at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, who is also a world-renowned virologist, is warning that the mRNA vaccines are a dangerous experiment as he raises alarms about the presence of the cancer-causing SV-40 enhancer in the injections.
It has been over 100 days since President Donald Trump began his second term. During that time, Radio Advisory has received a steady stream of questions from leaders seeking guidance in an uncertain policy and business environment. With looming funding cuts, the restructure of HHS, the arrival of DOGE and MAHA, and more, leaders are grappling with what to focus on, how to respond, and how to engage productively with the federal government. To help answer these questions, Radio Advisory turned to policy experts from both parties to address your questions, acknowledge your anxieties, and highlight shared opportunities. This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods welcomes Liz Fowler, former director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation under the Biden Administration, and Eric Hargan, former Deputy Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services during the first Trump term. Together, they discuss how to navigate the shifting policies and priorities of the Trump administration's second term. Plus, stay tuned to the end of the episode, where co-host Abby Burns discusses the bill proposed by the House Energy and Commerce Committee that would reduce federal Medicaid spending by more than $600 billion over the next ten years.

Here are 3 big things you need to know— One — COVID shots for children and pregnant women might no longer be recommended by the federal government.. A report in "The Wall Street Journal" says the Department of Health and Human Services is expected to remove the CDC recommendations when it launches new guidelines for approving vaccines. Two --- A hiker is okay after going missing for nearly three weeks in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California while camping. Tiffany Slaton, who is from Georgia, was found Wednesday just before her 28th birthday. She was discovered in a cabin intentionally left unlocked for hikers seeking shelter. And number three — Michigan's unemployment rate for April remains steady with March at five-point-five-percent. Officials say there were eleven-thousand payroll jobs added in April. The jobless rate is one-point-three-percent higher than the national rate of four-point-two-percent.
Federal cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services mean that the Iowa Cancer Registry and Iowa Cancer Consortium could see a budget shortfall July 1.

Kody Kinsley has been called many things—operator, innovator, Medicaid “nerd”—but above all, he's a fierce advocate for the health and well-being of the populations Medicaid serves. Now a senior advisor at the Milken Institute and recently North Carolina's Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kinsley joins Keith Figlioli for a wide-ranging conversation about how Medicaid works, why it matters, and where innovation is reshaping its future. A native of North Carolina, Kinsley brings personal experience and professional depth to his perspective. Growing up uninsured, he watched his mother navigate pediatric clinics, sliding-scale providers, and supply closets offering free samples to keep her kids healthy. That formative exposure ultimately propelled him into a career spanning healthcare operations, behavioral health, public policy, and government leadership. As North Carolina's health secretary, Kinsley led one of the country's largest and most complex human services agencies, overseeing everything from Medicaid operations and public health to psychiatric hospitals and child welfare. He played a central role in advancing Medicaid expansion in the state—an achievement shaped by bipartisan negotiation, careful balancing of federal and state resources, and a deep understanding of the healthcare landscape. In this episode, Kinsley and Keith cover: The structural realities behind state Medicaid programs. Kinsley describes how mega-agencies like North Carolina's bring together financing, public health, regulation, and direct care delivery—touching millions of lives daily, often invisibly. Federal-state dynamics and looming policy shifts. From federal match rates to provider taxes and budget triggers, Kinsley explains the intricacies of how money moves between federal and state governments—and what's at stake when Congress debates Medicaid cuts or structural reforms. The human cost behind budget debates. Behind every line item is a person: whether it's dental coverage, hospice services, or in-home care, Kinsley argues that policymakers must weigh the downstream impacts of funding decisions on real lives and long-term system costs. Bright spots and innovation. Kinsley highlights North Carolina's “Healthy Opportunities” pilot—one of the first initiatives nationally to use Medicaid dollars for non-medical needs like food, housing, and transportation. Early results show promise, including improved outcomes and significant cost savings, suggesting a roadmap for other states. Looking forward. While political winds may shift and financial pressures mount, Kinsley remains optimistic. He points to growing public support for Medicaid and hopes the nation can move beyond divisive debates over whether healthcare is a right or privilege—focusing instead on smarter, more sustainable ways to deliver care. To hear Kody Kinsley and Keith Figlioli unpack these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.
Health and Human Services is reinstating some employees after firing thousands last month. HHS is bringing back about 100 employees at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

Dr. Michael Artigues is president of the American College of Pediatricians. Dr. Artigues received his undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from Tulane University in 1988 and medical degree from the University of Mississippi Medical School in 1992 where he also completed his pediatric residency in 1995. He practices general pediatrics in McComb, Mississippi. He has served as a board member and president of the local crisis pregnancy and child advocacy centers and has been a member of the American College of Pediatricians Board since 2014.Children across America have been identifying as transgender in what some have called, "epidemic proportions." In fact, it's almost become a status symbol to be viewed as transgender. Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services released a ground-breaking report which confirms the lack of evidence supporting both the safety and efficacy of transgender interventions both in children and adolescents. This goes against the mantra that's been coming out from many public school systems, as well as the practices of Planned Parenthood and what we've been seeing from Hollywood. This is a many faceted issue that involves aspects such as gender dysphoria, gender affirming care, preferred pronouns, puberty blockers, emotional instability, the suicide factor and more. Review this broadcast and you'll hear these things discussed while listeners called with their opinions both pro and con.
Today, we're looking at President Donald Trump's unveiling of his "big announcement" — the signing of an executive order aimed at lowering drug prices in the United States, a task delivered to his Health and Human Services department, headed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Plus, Prime Minister Mark Carney is claiming his Liberal government will make cuts to immigration, but what does that really mean? Meanwhile, across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom, Labour PM Keir Starmer is also claiming his government will tighten restrictions on immigration following a strong performance from Nigel Farage's Reform UK party in recent elections. And finally, new data reveals that 40% of hate crimes in Toronto are committed against Jews, as protests supportive of Hamas continue in the city following the terror group's Oct. 7 attack against Israel and amid the ongoing war in Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Israel was 'on the eve of a forceful entry to Gaza.' His announcement came just hours after his security cabinet approved a plan to seize and occupy the Gaza Strip indefinitely and move hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to Gaza's southern region. It also came less than two weeks before President Donald Trump is scheduled to head to the Middle East for talks with Arab leaders. Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, a resident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council where he heads the 'Realign For Palestine' project, talks about what Israel's threats of escalation mean for the people living in Gaza.And in headlines: The White House said it wants to pay undocumented migrants $1,000 to voluntarily self-deport, Trump said he wants to make Hollywood great again by levying tariffs on films produced outside the U.S., and nearly two dozen states sued the administration over its cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services.Show Notes:Check out Ahmed's work – www.atlanticcouncil.org/expert/ahmed-alkhatib/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
Aria Bendix, health reporter for NBC News, discusses the impact of cuts and changes at the Department of Health and Human Services. The Washington Post examines the overall impact on public health of Trump’s first 100 days in office. Gerry Shih, Jerusalem bureau chief for the Washington Post, joins to talk about Israel’s plans to occupy more of Gaza and fully control distribution of aid there. Trump has threatened massive tariffs on movies produced overseas. Meg James, senior entertainment-industry reporter for the Los Angeles Times, discusses the studios’ response. Plus, the winners of this year’s Pulitzer Prizes, the issues plaguing Newark’s airport, and what to know about the Real ID deadline. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
MSNBC's Ari Melber hosts The Beat on Monday, May 5th, and reports on the economy and rule of law under the second Trump administration, as well as RFK Jr.'s recent actions with respect to the Department of Health and Human Services. Caleb Silver, Eugene Robinson, Joyce Vance, and R.J. Cutler join.
Today's Headlines: After a weekend in Palm Beach and what might have been a PBS movie marathon, President Trump announced plans to reopen Alcatraz as a functioning prison and to impose 100% tariffs on films produced outside the U.S. Trump also introduced a new voluntary self-deportation initiative offering $1,000 and travel expenses to undocumented immigrants who leave the country using a government app. Elsewhere, a Newark air traffic controller is warning travelers to avoid the airport entirely, citing dangerous staffing shortages that have led to major flight cancellations. The FAA is now offering $5,000 bonuses to attract new recruits. In other news, the Department of Education has resumed sending student loan borrowers in default to collections, threatening wage garnishment for millions after a five-year freeze on penalties. Abroad, Israel's government has approved a plan to reoccupy Gaza and displace its population if no hostage and ceasefire deal is reached by mid-May—timed with Trump's upcoming Middle East visit. Meanwhile, 19 state attorneys general and Washington, DC have filed a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services, claiming that deep budget and staffing cuts have dismantled vital programs related to disease control, maternal health, and substance abuse, just as a measles outbreak takes hold.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services, has been undermining public trust in vaccines and overseeing crippling cuts to research across American science. And yet his “make America healthy again” highlights themes more familiar in liberal circles: toxins in the environment, biodiversity, healthy eating. Kennedy has put junk food at the center of the political conversation, speaking about ultra-processed foods and their established links to chronic disease—despite President Donald Trump's well-known reverence for fast food of all kinds. Marion Nestle, a leading nutrition researcher and the author of “Food Politics,” has written in depth on how money and politics affect our diet and our health, and about the ways that American science research has been hampered by limited funding. She tells the physician and contributing writer Dhruv Khullar, who's been reporting on the American diet, that “it would be wonderful if R.F.K., Jr., could make the food supply healthier. I just think that in order to do that, he's going to have to take on the food industry, and I don't think Trump has a history of taking on corporations of any kind. . . . I'll believe it when I see it.” Kraftwerk—the pioneering electronic music group that débuted more than half a century ago —has been touring the U.S., with stops planned in Europe this year. The staff writer Kelefa Sanneh calls them one of the most influential bands of all time, playing a formative role in hip-hop, techno, EDM, and much of popular music as we know it. Sanneh picks tracks from Kraftswerk's repertoire and demonstrates how those sounds trickle out through music history, from Afrika Bambaataa to Coldplay.
