The conversation with Noah Shachtman covers the misuse of prescription medications in the White House, particularly during the Trump administration. The White House Medical Office was found to have sloppy handling of prescription medications, including the use of military-grade stimulants like modafinil to keep up with the pace of dealing with Donald Trump.
