Calley Means, former adviser to RFK Jr., tells Joe Rogan that now-former White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, as well as others in the Trump administration were the key reasons they could not enact the entire MAHA agenda:
“She [Susie Wiles] spent her career taking money from Benjamin Netanyahu, who she was a top consultant for, the pharmaceutical industry, the pesticide industry … nobody disputes that.”
“At one point, I was arguing for school lunches or this no-brainer policy to Tony Fabrizio, and I said to him ‘you know, President Trump really galvanized a lot of voters with Bobby Kennedy’ … getting healthier school meals, process food companies might not like that, and he said it’s not a big part of our strategy. And MAHA’s not really a big part of our strategy.”

Jake Tapper asked her about blocking the sale of a Texas state park to SpaceX, and whether Musk might leave the state over it. Her answer:
“Well, look, as I said before, we have to have balance. These are our beaches we’re talking about. I mean, selling our beach to Elon Musk is just something that is almost unimaginable. It’s unacceptable. Our beaches are enshrined in our Texas Constitution as being free and open to the people of Texas because they are our beaches."
"We can have a strong working relationship with Elon Musk and his companies, but it has to be on our terms. It cannot be just running over the people of Texas. And that’s what changes now that I will be governor.”
