What recent events led to a top Trump official's resignation?

Ben Meiselas (host) 0:00
Another top Trump regime official has abruptly quit or I should say was forced to resign under the threat of being immediately fired. The Trump regime in full collapse. It seems not a week passes where there is not another termination of a major official or cabinet member. The latest to quit or to be forced to resign, Dr. Marty Makary, who is the FDA commissioner. The reason that he was forced to resign was that he did not support apparently Donald Trump's push to help the tobacco industry by authorizing additional flavored vapes to be marketed to children. Now, let's be very clear, Dr. Marty Makary, not a good guy, a massive anti-vaxxer, a massive conspiracy theorist who pushed lies and propaganda and who was a major threat

to science, to health, to the American public at large. He's one of the people who was largely responsible with RFK Jr. and Donald Trump in changing the vaccine schedule. But the last straw for him in the Trump regime had nothing to do with any of that. It was that he was like, do we really have to advertise flavored vapes to children? And Donald Trump was like, yeah, my buddies in the tobacco industry, they want children to have flavored vapes. So shut up and approve it. And Macari was like, I don't wanna do it. And so that was it for Donald Trump. And Trump was like, see you later, you need to resign immediately. And so Donald Trump then put Macari through a humiliation ritual. Donald Trump made, to make an example out of Macari, Trump made Macari text message him his resignation.

And then before Macari was able to himself let the public know that he was leaving, Donald Trump immediately posted the text message in order to humiliate Macari, to make example of him for other people who dare oppose giving vapes to little children. Donald Trump posted this message, a text message from Marty Macari, I just want you to think right now of any employment setting. If any boss in any employment setting did this, you would say the worst human to work for.

Why did Dr. Marty Makary resign from the FDA?

Ben Meiselas (host) 2:32
That's Donald Trump for you. The worst human to work for. Frankly, the worst human right now. Here's what Macari wrote to Donald Trump. And it seems that he was either saying, was he saying, dear President Trump, or does he call Donald Trump doctor? Does Donald Trump make Macari call him doctor? Because he goes, Dr. President Trump, or maybe it was dear, please accept my resignation effective today. During my tenure, I announced 50 major FDA reforms. Joe Biden's FDA had none. I'm extremely proud that we reduced drug review times from a year to one to two months, wrote new guidance to advance psychedelics, introduced a new plausible mechanism pathway for rare disease drugs, and changed estrogen labels to tell women the truth about menopausal hormone replacement.

It's been an honor of a lifetime to serve as your FDA commissioner. I am forever grateful, Dr. Marty Makary. Now, the approval of these psychedelics without going through any scientific method happened because Joe Rogan text messaged Donald Trump and said, I want these to be approved by the FDA. And then Donald Trump said to Makary, You better approve him. And then Donald Trump brought in Joe Rogan while the war against Iran was absolutely raging. Remember that weird Joe Rogan press conference that happened over the weekend? Yeah, or that weekend during the war? Macari was involved in that. So then Donald Trump posts, I want to thank Dr. Marty Macari for having done a great job at the FBI. So much was accomplished under his leadership.

He was a hard worker who was respected by all and will go on to have an outstanding career. Let's talk about his resignation one more time. As Frank Lutz, a right-wing commentator and pollster says, and he's quoting a New York Times article, Macari left over concerns about the FDA's decision to authorize fruit-flavored vapes.

What controversies surrounded Dr. Makary during his tenure?

Ben Meiselas (host) 4:30
He told those close to him that he cannot in good conscience approve flavored vapes due to their appeal to young people. And Donald Trump wanted those flavored vapes approved. There were mango flavors and cherry flavors and lemon lime flavors that Donald Trump said
