In this special Ask Me Anything episode, Jeff Krasno tackles listener questions on politics, free speech, immigration, and public health. From the rise of authoritarian tendencies in U.S. politics to the Jimmy Kimmel suspension and First Amendment debates, Jeff offers a dispassionate but pointed analysis of where democracy stands today.

He digs into myths about undocumented immigrants, highlighting their vital contributions to the economy, and exposes how private corporations profit from detention centers. Jeff also examines the defunding of mRNA research, deregulation of pesticides, Big Tobacco’s pivot into processed food, and the way asset management firms profit from both chronic disease and its treatment.

What emerges is a candid exploration of how politics, profit, and health are deeply intertwined—and why understanding these intersections is critical for reclaiming both personal agency and collective wellbeing.
