When science becomes politicized, who defends the truth?
In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Richard Carmona, the 17th Surgeon General of the United States. A combat-decorated medic, trauma surgeon, and public health leader who’s seen it all: the operating room, the Situation Room, and the White House Cabinet Room.
Together, we unpack the state of America’s public health system, why trust in our institutions is eroding, and how misinformation is now a national security issue. Dr. Carmona warns that “we are less safe than we were before” as science takes a backseat to ideology and evidence-based medicine is drowned out by politics and polarization.
