Dr. Vin Gupta

Midas Mighty, welcome to another episode of Midas Health.

Really excited to have our next guest, Randy Weingarten, join us.

Randy, I've gotten to know Randy over the course of the last several years, especially during COVID and ever since.

And she needs no introduction.

She's one of the nation's leading public sector officials.

I mean, she leads one of the most influential, if not the most influential labor union in the country.

It touches public school teachers.

They represent doctors and nurses across the spectrum.

It doesn't get more influential than Mandy Weingarten.

And she's going to be talking to us about her new book.

why fascists fear teachers.

So her perspective's there.

And there's broadly so much happening right now in healthcare, healthcare policy, to get her take.

Again, she represents the interests of nurses and doctors across the country.

So there's no better voice.

But without further ado, I'm going to bring Randi on to stage.

Randi, thanks so much for joining Minus Health.

Well, you know, for our listeners, my beloved mom passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago, and she was a neonatologist.

And there's so much I want to say, and one day I will say, but one thing she did tell my brother and I was, I mentioned this to Randy, is that if anything happened to her, she said to continue with your work after taking a week off, which is why I'm here with Randy.

Randy, there's so much that you and I, I know we talk about a lot, but for the Midas Touch audience, I want to first talk about your book and why fascists fear teachers.
