Happy Pride!! It’s easy to criticize government, and candidly, there’s plenty that deserves criticism. But government is not something we can live without, so maybe if we spent less time complaining about it, and more time understanding it, we’d know how to use it properly and how to best fix it. So, today we’re joined by Four Star Admiral and one of the highest ranking members of our Department of Health and Human Services, to talk about what our government is doing to keep Americans safe and healthy. And, because it’s Pride Month, it’s important to acknowledge that Admiral Levine is part of an administration where equity, inclusion and diversity aren’t just talking points but a way of life. That the Biden/Harris administration is committed to an America where everyone belongs and we can see that reflected in the very highest levels of our government. Representation matters, but competence and skill come first, and boy does the Admiral bring the goods! Listen to this conversation and you’ll understand why we’re so lucky to have such a powerhouse like her at the wheel.

Florida has banned heat breaks for outside workers. How can states and local governments pass laws that are
criminalizing health safty? What good is these agencies if state and local government can pass laws that are extremely dangerous?
Thank you for this conversation. I’m so sick of the “government sucks†narrative. It’s cynical and untrue. Government works if we vote for politicians who allow it to work. That’s why I vote for Democrats.
That was alot of information 💜
I adopted 2 babies, born in Russia in 1998. We were told they were born with syphilis which was pretty much assumed about all orphanage babies in Russia at that time. Syphilis was so rampant in Russia then, that all orphanage babies were treated with megadoses of penicillin just as a matter of standard procedure.
I worked for Dr Levine in the way backs. Best government boss I ever had.
Excellent interview.
This is clearly a way for the republicans to own the libs and the democrats.
The republican party will politicize anything that will trigger their base.
Wow! Seriously… during your introduction and then explanation, how have I not heard of Admiral Levine after 17 years of service in the Navy Reserve? I was thinking of so many questions. I’ll stop now and continue watching the rest of the video.
Thank you both for a very informative episode.
Trump has a issue adolescents transitioning, he’s stuck in that mode
Awsome Guest.
Love Admiral Levine! She is so committed to her job and the American public! President Biden picked an excellent administration – There is no swamp in DC.
How did you discover Admiral Levine? This is so wonderful! I wish I was aware of the resources here when I was caring for my parents during Covid, because Dad was a veteran.
Thank you! Great guest!!!
Ronald Reagan is responsible for where we are with magats today.
I am pro vaccines because of personal experience in mitigating intense allergies thru vaccination. How are the cases of bad reactions to vaccines as my sister had being addressed for awareness also?
Asking your guest, but after the program aired. Could you pass on that concern about awareness on? Thanks
Your topics, coverage and summations are absolutely excellent!
That was an incredibly informative interview!
Yet another fantastic show! Thanks, Politics Girl!!💙
I have PTSD. It is a lifelong condition and makes life challenging. I was in 9/11 and stayed to help many people. What people don't know is that there were continuous periodic explosions after the plane hit. Every time there was an explosion, things came down from the sky. I won't say what. It is enough to say that it was like the frontline on a battlefield. I saved many, many lives. But it came at a personal coast. I have both physical and mental condition PTSD. I am told that medicare will no longer assist in paying for my therapy which is essential for me. I am retired and a big percentage of my income goes to pay health insurance premiums every month. After, paying for premiums and medical expenses. There isn't that much left. I live a simple no frills life and can't afford this treatment without the insurance supplement. I already pay a great deal of money in premiums. I have not had a pay increase since 9/11. Every Cost Of Living Increase i get does not come close to the increase in premiums. Every year i go backwards.
Excellent episode! ðŸ™ÂÂðŸÂ»🇺🇸⚖ï¸ÂÂ💙ðŸâ€â€Ã‚½Ã°Å¸Â©ÂºÃ°Å¸â€â€Ã‚³Ã¯Â¸ÂÂâ•
I wish you could have asked about the women's health initiative that was recently passed
Very interesting information! Thank you.â¤
Brilliant show. I did not know this service existed.it is so important. People need to know about this. Depending on where you live, there are people who don't get the medical care they need.
