Civil Action: Trump’s Unqualified Surgeon General Pick

Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose Trump’s disastrous surgeon general nominee Casey Means—a 36-year-old Stanford graduate turned wellness influencer with no active medical license who never finished her residency. The hosts reveal how Means hasn’t practiced medicine or held an active license for six to seven years, instead becoming a social media grifter selling alternative health products through her brother’s company Truemed. They break down her dangerous departure from traditional medicine, her conflicts of interest promoting supplements and wellness schemes, and how even Trump initially praised her before backtracking the next day, admitting “I don’t know her” while crediting RFK Jr. for the pick. The attorneys expose this as another Trump administration grift where unqualified influencers are appointed to critical health positions affecting millions of Americans.
