Joe Rogan’s blockbuster interview with recently resigned White House health adviser Calley Means targeted a longstanding political crisis — the corporate-bureaucrat alliance. A self-described Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) advocate, Means focused on how the lobbyist revolving door has choked popular health policies President Trump endorsed in his campaign coalition that installed Robert Kennedy Jr. as health secretary.
One of these policies is reducing glyphosate, a weed-killer formerly in Roundup but now available only in commercial applications. Rogan and Means claimed the product causes cancer, showing photos of a man who contracted blood cancer after being soaked in the herbicide and noting Iowa has contaminated water and the nation’s second-highest cancer rates. While everyone who has taken a science class knows correlation isn’t causation, Means also claimed industry influence is preventing unbiased studies from assessing such concerns.
