In our second episode, we take a closer look at RFK Jr.’s legal career, the money he is making from anti-vaccine lawsuits, and how judges are required to be the guardians of scientific validity in court. Act One : A changing environment Act Two : See you in court Act Three : Send me an […]
Nearly half a year into Donald Trump’s second term in office, America’s farmers are justified in being frustrated with the president’s policies. Tariffs and an HHS chief that seeks to meddle in the affairs of the Agriculture Department threaten the bottom line of an otherwise efficient farm system. Consumers pay the price, with a 3 percent increase in food […]
I was a guest on Tony Katz Today WIBC 93.1 FM to discuss food regulations under Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The entire interview is below:
By trying too hard to control sports betting, some state governments are achieving the opposite of their goals: they are empowering black market operators, putting consumers at risk, and turning away tax revenue that could be collected from a robust legal industry.

I was back on FOX 5 DC to discuss the latest developments on Surgeon General appointee Casey Means and Trump’s drug pricing executive order. You can watch the entire interview below:
Alors que la guerre commerciale insensée de Donald Trump fait des ravages sur les marchés internationaux et que le Canada reste la cible de tarifs douaniers d’envergure, le législateur québécois doit réévaluer la lourdeur de la réglementation qu’il a appliquée au cours des dernières décennies. Ce sont surtout les producteurs régionaux du Bas-Saint-Laurent, du Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue, de Chaudière-Appalaches, qui seront les plus durement touchés par la concurrence, car ils sont […]
It would be a stretch to say that Health and Human Services (HHS) is being led for the first time by someone who is out of their depth, but it’s certainly the case that, for the first time, its chief is deeply suspicious of most modern medicine. Since Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation as HHS […]
