If only the U.S. went after Big Pharma the way we went after narco traffickers. But not with weapons and violence, but something way sexier: REGULATION. Professor Carlos Martinez joins to discuss why we need to link public health with ending the drug war and the war on migrants. And maybe Dark Brandon is starting to crack down on pharma as he announces 10 drugs that will be subject to price negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act. Then Burning Man gets washed out and Marjorie Greene has thoughts. Finally, a newsy round of "would you?" with radioactive sashimi and 400-year-old vampire children. Also Mitch. Same thing tbh.*Catch Francesca and Matt Lieb LIVE at the Punchline in San Francisco on Tuesday October 17th!
