    Dr. Marty Makary on Rebuilding Trust in Medicine and Reforming the FDA | 13th and Park

    Send a text On this episode of 13th & Park, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary joins Adam Goodman and Alison to discuss rebuilding public trust in medicine, reforming the FDA, and accelerating life-saving innovation. From challenging long-standing medical dogma to issuing national priority review vouchers that speed up breakthrough treatments, Dr. Makary outlines how the FDA is reducing review times, increasing transparency, and modernizing outdated regulatory models. He explains why Bayesian clinical trials matter, how food chemical loopholes are being addressed, and why restoring confidence in public health institutions is central to the agency’s mission. The conversation also explores the microbiome, antibiotic overuse, hormone replacement therapy, supply chain reshoring, over-the-counter drug reform, and what it means to “get back to science” in an era of declining trust.

    Fox Business News Anchor Elizabeth MacDonald on Truth, Markets, and Media | 13th and Park

    Send us a text On this episode of 13th & Park, host Adam Goodman is joined by Fox Business News anchor Elizabeth MacDonald, the longtime journalist behind The Evening Edit. MacDonald reflects on her career holding power to account—from Wall Street scandals and IRS investigations to Washington oversight and economic policy—and explains why asking why still matters in modern journalism. Drawing on decades of reporting at the intersection of markets, government, and everyday life, she discusses the responsibility journalists owe their audience, the danger of opinion-driven media, and how economic decisions in Washington shape real outcomes for American families. The conversation also explores her unconventional path into journalism, the lessons she learned covering underreported beats, and why credibility, curiosity, and restraint are more important than ever in an era of nonstop information.

    Send us a text Congressman Carlos Gimenez joins 13th & Park for a wide-ranging conversation on national security, China, communism, and the fight to defend freedom at home and abroad. Born in Havana and raised in the shadow of communism, Gimenez brings a deeply personal perspective to today’s geopolitical challenges.

    U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Farmers, Food Security & America First | 13th and Park

As Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins sits at the center of that responsibility.

    Marc Caputo on Why the Trump Era Forced a Reset in Political Journalism | 13th and Park

    Send us a text In this episode of 13th & Park, host Adam Goodman is joined in the Washington, D.C. studio by co-host Justin Sayfie, a Partner at Ballard Partners, for a wide-ranging conversation with Marc Caputo, White House reporter for Axios, who joins the show remotely from Miami. Together, they examine how power is exercised inside the White House—and how it is covered in today’s rapidly evolving media environment. Drawing on decades of experience covering Florida politics, national campaigns, and multiple presidential administrations, Caputo explains what has changed inside the White House press corps, how access and influence actually work, and why the Trump era forced a fundamental reset in political journalism. The conversation spans foreign policy and national security, including Venezuela, oil, and U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere, as well as the role of culture in shaping politics, media narratives, and public trust. Caputo also reflects on the realities of getting scoops, the evolving relationship between reporters and power, the rise of alternative and digital media, and how news organizations are adapting to a more fragmented, competitive, and fast-moving information landscape. From media credibility and institutional trust to White House access and the future of political reporting, this episode goes beyond headlines to unpack what really matters in Washington—and why it matters now.

    Stephanie Haridopolos on America’s Health and the Surgeon General’s Office | 13th and Park

    Send us a text In this episode of 13th & Park, we sit down with Stephanie Haridopolos, physician and Chief of Staff to the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General, for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of American health and what it will take to reverse decades of chronic disease. Dr. Haridopolos reflects on her journey from growing up as a patient with a congenital heart condition to practicing family medicine for more than two decades, and now serving at the highest levels of public health leadership. She explains how that experience shapes her patient-first approach to policy, prevention, and communication. The conversation explores the mission and responsibilities of the Office of the Surgeon General, the role of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and why prevention—not treatment—must be the foundation of a healthier nation. We also discuss the rise of ultra-processed foods, obesity and diabetes trends, addiction threats emerging at the retail level, and how lifestyle changes can dramatically improve health outcomes and reduce long-term healthcare costs. Dr. Haridopolos also shares her perspective on the “Make America Healthy Again” movement, the importance of clear health communication, and how innovation—from newborn screening to AI-driven research—can reshape the future of medicine.

    U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks on Venezuela, Maduro & Health Care Reform | 13th and Park

    Send us a text U.S. Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks joins 13th & Park for a wide-ranging conversation on Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and the future of American health care reform. A physician and decorated military veteran, Miller-Meeks offers a grounded national-security perspective on recent U.S. actions involving Venezuela, explaining why the Maduro regime poses a real threat tied to narco-terrorism, regional instability, and U.S. energy and security interests. Drawing on historical precedent, she outlines how these actions fit within long-standing American foreign policy and why they differ fundamentally from traditional sovereignty disputes. The conversation then turns to health care, where Miller-Meeks challenges the idea that cost alone defines success. She explains why the United States continues to lead the world in advanced treatments and outcomes, while also acknowledging the structural problems that drive inefficiency and rising costs. Her focus centers on evidence-based medicine, patient incentives, transparency, and reforms aimed at lowering premiums while improving long-term health outcomes. Throughout the episode, Miller-Meeks reflects on how her background in medicine and the military shapes her approach to leadership in Congress, including the importance of humility, service, and bipartisan problem-solving. This episode offers a clear, experience-driven look at global security challenges and domestic policy reform—without rhetoric, and with an emphasis on results.

    K.T. McFarland on Trump, Venezuela, and Resetting the Global Chessboard

    Send us a text Former National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland joins 13th & Park for a wide-ranging, deeply informed conversation on the most consequential foreign-policy shift of our lifetime. Drawing on decades of experience inside the Situation Room, McFarland explains why recent U.S. actions in Venezuela represent more than a regional intervention — they signal a fundamental reset of the global chessboard. She breaks down deterrence, leadership, and psychology in American power, and why the Western Hemisphere has once again become the central arena of great-power competition. The discussion spans China, Iran, Russia, drug cartels, energy security, and the return of the Monroe Doctrine — with a clear through-line: credibility matters, and America’s willingness to act reshapes how allies and adversaries calculate risk.
