Why Do "They" Want Americans So Unhealth...

Charlie Kirk
About this episode

America spends more than any other country on medical care, and its healthcare companies make bigger profits than those of any country. So why are Americans so unhealthy and unhappy? Calley Means visits Charlie to lay out the real state of American healthcare and why RFK Jr. is so important for upsetting the current system. Plus, Charlie listens in to another White House press conference, where Karoline Leavitt is quickly becoming a star.
