Hey and welcome to Unlimited Hangout, I'm your host, Whitney Webb.

For a little over a year, the American Food and Drug Administration or FDA has been led

by a man named Robert Califf. Very few people seem to know much about Califf or his background,

and there is very little critical reporting on this man, despite the power he currently

wields over significant aspects of American public health policy. During his confirmation hearings

last year, there were a few stories here and there, noting Califf's investments in the pharmaceutical

of interest that more often than not are the norm within the U.S. federal government and on

Capitol Hill. This is Califf's second stint as FDA commissioner having previously held the

post toward the end of Barack Obama's second term. After he left that position when Donald

Trump took office in early 2017, Califf joined Google, becoming the Silicon Valley giant's top strategist

is about the merging of our physical, digital, and biological selves, essentially

transhumanism by a different name. Troublingly, as FDA commissioner, Califf is already creating

regulatory loopholes for devices that will bring this dark vision to fruition, including brain
