Well, I had no idea that you were involved in the research with the Hep B vaccine. That's very interesting. I would say part of the reason I'm on the path that I'm on is because of that vaccine. And I'll tell you why. Because in 2016, I had my first child. I had to have an emergency C-section.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And, you know, that's after you labor, you're exhausted, they take you in for an emergency C-section at night. In the middle of the night, I was asleep for the little bit of amount of sleep I could get. They come into the room to take my child in the middle of the night to take him to get a hep B vaccine. And my husband said, excuse me, wait, what? You're taking him to get a hep B?
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Isn't that for a sexually transmitted disease? They said, oh, well, it's standard. We do it in the first 24 to 48 hours of life. And they give the usual spill about this is what is recommended. It's absolutely normal. My husband did not buy it. And he basically said, well, you say on Twitter, Naomi, is that you're not a prostitute. You know, he's not a sex worker. He's just born.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Once again, I'm a drug user. Yeah, exactly. I mean, he was only about six hours old. And my husband, when I woke up, he was sitting there staring at my child like this. They were staring at each other. And he refused to put him down because he was so afraid they would come and take him. And he was on his phone scrolling, doing vaccine research right then.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And so that started us on the path to researching vaccines, what's in them, why they're mandated, going back to the liability protections that were offered to them. I would go into the pediatrician's office and say, hey, can I see the literature? Can I see what's in this? And can I choose the brand? At least we were treated like scum, Dr. Drew.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And I know Naomi and I have talked about this a little bit. And that really set me on the path of dissent, I think, that carried over into being a journalist that covered politics. But then it definitely prepared me for what we saw, that we didn't know what was coming.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
I never anticipated that I would be covering a COVID-19 pandemic in which they were going to unleash this EUA gene therapy on everyone and expect us to comply and that no one around me would question it. That started with that hep B vaccine.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Oh, I got fired. For questioning the COVID job. So, yeah, I was right there with you. And I was the pariah in the White House press corps. What was so funny, though, is that I was the one who refused to get the job. I didn't comply with the testing. And I'm pretty sure I was the only White House correspondent that did not get COVID while I was in the White House press corps.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
I think I might have been the single one, yet I was the one they were all afraid of.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
That's sort of how he does his vetting process. He does that on purpose. And so he takes public opinion polls. So it is probably a little bit different of a process. That's a great point.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
I would say it's twofold, besides the vetting process. Trump's appointees, even in the first administration, got a lot more attention even back then, right? Because of the nature of the media cycle around Donald Trump. Everything Donald Trump does is magnified times 100. So there's that aspect of it. But then there's also people like Naomi, who just described how fed up she was.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
The average American I talk to these days feel that fed up. People who never looked at politics before could care less who was in this position or that position now understand having been locked in their houses, lost their jobs, saw their kids out of school for months and months, if not a year or longer. They know how important appointments are and they're not just letting it ride anymore.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
They're paying attention and they're making their voices heard. So you wouldn't have gotten that much outcry before. And like Naomi, I'm sure Dr. Jeanette, she's a beautiful woman. First off, she looks great on TV, as Donald Trump says, probably factored a little into it. She's central casting.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And I know people who know the family and say they're a lovely family, which just sounds like you could attest to. But I remember watching her on Fox News day in and day out as she was one of the preferred doctors to come on and talk about the pandemic. And I did not agree with what she had to say.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And I didn't think that she was really looking at the facts as much as I remember looking back at one specific appearance she made on Fox News. And then I went and compared it to like the CDC press release. she basically just regurgitated the CDC press release.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And I feel like there's other people that have already proven themselves that can step into that role. Right. If it's the Florida surgeon general, Joseph Latipo. Okay. So we don't, we don't need to settle, you know, and those people who fought the hard fight, who, you know, stood their ground, refused to back down, give in, got canceled, lost their jobs.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
I mean, I could think, I could probably think of 10 just sitting here right here, right. Fantastic doctors that can fill that role. I don't feel like we have to settle.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Well, I put out a list of transition grades on X a little over a month ago, and Dr. Bhattacharya is one who got an A from me, and that was an easy grade. I've interviewed him a couple of times. I've had the pleasure of interviewing since I started my frank speech. show the absolute truth.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
But when I was a White House reporter in 2020 in the Great Barrington Declaration, it was something I referenced. I referenced his work. Like Naomi said, though I didn't know him personally, I was impressed with his obvious great character. It is kind of shocking. I guess I've gotten a bit jaded, I'll be honest, having covered Congress and the White House for as many years as I have.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And so seeing someone who was treated so terribly and get, as you call it, poetic justice. When I give other people bad grades, I look at someone like Dr. Bhattacharya getting this nomination and it gives me hope. So he's a great one. A, maybe even A plus. I didn't give anyone A pluses, so.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Thank you. Thank you. It's wonderful to be with you.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Hey, I mean, look, he's been solid on vaccines, medical freedom, accountability in other areas, fighting corporate and government corruption, whatever his liabilities are. He has no liabilities on his track records there. Right. Here's what I was. So he gets a grade A from me.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Now, as far as his confirmation process, there's going to be a lot of broken hearts and you're going to see a major divide if they don't confirm him. And I think Republicans will actually face a major amount of backlash from the voting public.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
How much they care about that, though, you and I and Naomi, we all know that isn't that's never the top factor for them is how much backlash they get from the public because they are going to get a lot of backlash from their donors and their lobbyists. Right. Which is big pharma. My concern is that they might not be doing enough from the official Trump transition to help get him confirmed.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
There's some mixed messaging on that. Now, I know there are some good folks on transition who specifically wanted to help Pete Hexheth get confirmed, want to help him get confirmed for defense because they feel like if they take out Hexheth, it makes it easier for them to take out Trump. take out RFK. So you see the slippery slope that could be. So they want to help RFK as well.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
So these are really good people. I think he will probably ultimately sneak through, but this will be a big blow to probably what is now, right, the biggest lobby in D.C., So it's going to be tough. But should he get in, he definitely gets an A from me.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
But I'm also watching the staffing down the hierarchy because what they might try to do, Dr. Drury, and something that Naomi and I have talked a lot about is that they'll put him in, but they will hamper him and tie his hands so badly with people below him that won't go with his vision, his agenda, or really what the mandate is for him to do.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Um, so I'm, I'm also watching that, but he gets an a, we'll see what the staff below him. I wouldn't have probably equal grades.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
I have these conversations behind the scenes all the time, especially because I'm surrounded by politicos where I live and they're already talking about twenty twenty eight. Twenty twenty four is over and now they're looking to the next campaign and they feel like that could be a real divide. Right. Because this coalition did pull Donald Trump over. There's lots of things.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And, you know, we're not talking about election integrity at the moment, but. Still, it couldn't have happened without the Maha Maga coalition. If you take Vance, who is a star now on the MAGA side, and you put him up against Bobby Kennedy, you're splitting that. So, you know, you're not actually RFK. Should he be confirmed? He has a better opportunity to shine than does J.D.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Vance really as vice president. How much do vice presidents really get? Maybe J.D. Vance will a little bit if Trump wants him to be his heir apparent. But this can be far beneficial for Bobby Kennedy. If he really gets confirmed and he's really able to do what he wants to do, then he might be the obvious 2028. But will that affect their working relationship? I don't know. Maybe. Interesting.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Yeah, I had a hard time on grading him. I would say, you know, probably a B. Yeah. You know, I think that it's great that he was a soldier. He doesn't come out of that military elite that is in Washington, D.C., that is very, very different from your average soldier on the ground. I think he has a real connection.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
He has a real deep affection for his fellow service members, his veteran, his fellow veterans. He has worked in Veterans Affairs. The issue that Pete is going to have is not knowing bureaucracy and running a large... I mean, the DOD is a huge department. He's going to have to have really good people under him as well.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And there's been a bit of a fight and transition in getting good people in outside. And they've been so focused on getting Pete confirmed that they haven't gotten to really focus as much on... on the people who would support him. And the DOD is just filled, especially after this Biden administration, with people who will be subversive, especially as he tries to, he's more of a cultural warrior.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And I think that's great. I think that's probably really good for this moment. Look at what has happened to our military and Department of Defense under the Biden administration as they focused on DEI, right, and identity politics. Recruitment has nosedived.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
um our military readiness and with the vaccines i mean our military readiness is at a level that we actually have to be seriously concerned um so i think that he can be good in those avenues we just need him to have the right support under him um and then i did know that confirmation wise this was going to come up when they announced him these these these stories and these issues um
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
But it sounds like they have it under control that. And I will tell you, it wasn't the Trump transition that stepped in. It wasn't the official. It wasn't Susie Wiles and those, you know, who should be helping him get confirmed that are making sure he got confirmed. There was other people who have helped him navigate this.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
No, I can't. I can't share that. But they the transition had left the official people had left him out to dry.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Yeah. You know, I just don't think we know enough, like Naomi was saying. I think she's raised some very good questions about the structure of Doge. Oversight, right? And I went in one of our past episodes in our conversations, I likened it to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I believe it was called, right? The CFPB and Republicans took a real issue with that.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And Dr. Drew, you said at the beginning, COVID gave us the opportunity for new bedfellows. And that certainly was the case. Not like that. But she said we would talk on these short segments we would have. And I too felt I could listen to Naomi talk all day long. And she's someone that though we didn't ideologically maybe align all the time. I always had a great level of respect for Dr. Naomi Wolf.

It was sort of installed under the Dodd-Frank, I believe it was, piece of legislation. They always disliked it, but at least I guess it was a piece of legislation that allowed for it. So I think there's questions about how it would work. Now, I am a little bit concerned about

Ask Dr. Drew

And this is something that I've been meaning to ask, particularly some of my friends that have worked had worked in the first administration office of management budget, because typically, wouldn't you think that would fall under OMB, which is going to be ran once again by Russ Vogt. So I've been meaning to ask them how this would work, how Doge will work with OMB.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And I think they could probably give us some good perspective. So maybe in another week, Naomi, I'll have some better answers for you on that. I've been meaning that as my homework.
Ask Dr. Drew

So right before we jumped on, I was on a call and I was talking to someone, you know, working with transition, and they suggested that it could be Morgan Ortegas. She was just nominated as, you know, the deputy special envoy, I think is what it's called. You know, there's all these titles to the Middle East. She's a Trump, first Trump administration official.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
She was a spokesperson, State Department spokesperson, but she's been a very rapid anti-Trumper and she's a chameleon. Her positions change, you know, all over the place. He, if you saw the announcement that Trump put out in his nomination of Morgan Ortegas, it was all I don't want to do this. This is her record. But the Republicans, who turns out to be Lindsey Graham, told me I have to do this.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
I don't think this was a good look for Trump. I don't think he should have done it that way, even if he was going to nominate her, because I feel like it makes him look weak. A lot of people thought it was funny. And he said, these things usually don't turn out well. We'll see. So apparently there's some suggestion that right after, you know, they're inaugurated and he gets his people in.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Apparently, this is the word on the street. Lindsey Graham and a couple other senators told Donald Trump that if he didn't appoint Morgan Ortegas, they wouldn't confirm people like RFK and Pete Hexath. Specifically, those two names were mentioned. So this person suggested to me that maybe she's the first to go. Yeah.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
Her writing is just spectacular. She has this just output way of talking about topics that people usually want to shy away from because they're uncomfortable. And then I think we even just started talking before you really approached me. What I saw in my segments, she was even more of talking to in person. So there you go.
Ask Dr. Drew

I mean, it's a hard decision between a D and an F. We might have had worse, so I'll say D. I understand they might staffing with some people underneath them. State is always a fight because state is maybe the swampiest department in all of D.C., Right. I don't care much for Rubio because when he was on the Senate, I mean, you know, he's part of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Ask Dr. Drew
Grading The 2025 Trump Admin Nominees w/ Emerald Robinson & Naomi Wolf – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 443
And when the whole Russia gate hoax was being perpetuated, Rubio was on that committee. He was privy to the to the to the classified information.

Also, Rubio, during the pandemic, when members of the military reached out to him, his constituents, and asked for help in fighting the vaccine mandates, they would get letters back from him telling them to just get the jab. It's what's recommended.

Because as Naomi said, they get their talking points directly from the people in power or from whoever has a certain narrative to push.
