Biden Senior COVID-19 Advisor Andy Slavitt With Congressman Ted Lieu.

“Every action taken before a pandemic looks like overkill– and everything afterward looks pathetic.” Andy Slavitt warned us in February 2020 that a merciless pandemic was on its way. With presidential denial, a long siege was at hand. Slavitt, one of the lead Biden White House advisors on national COVID-19 response, knows his way around American healthcare. He headed up Obamacare, and later the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and led the fight to hold on to the Affordable Care Act during the Trump administration’s effort to dismantle it.

Andy Slavitt, host of the hugely popular podcast, In the Bubble, has just announced his departure as Senior Advisor on the Biden Coronavirus Pandemic Response Team, but he is not leaving quietly. In his terrific new book, Preventable, Slavitt explores what could have and what should have been done in response to COVID’s onslaught. Slavitt shares the template he created for governors, mayors, and leaders all across the country, to address what we needed to do to stanch the oncoming storm. And he asks questions that we all need to think about: What happens when people don’t listen to science? How do we prepare for the next free fall? How can we achieve unity instead of polarization? How can we fix a fractured health care system that can meet the needs of our next flu, or pandemic? Preventable is a first-hand account addressed to us with a sense of great urgency.

It’s been almost 47 years since the resignation of President Richard Nixon. His re-election in 1972 was filled with spectacle and notorious “dirty tricks.” His presidency was the culmination of monumental ambition, in the face of foreign policy expansion, Vietnam peace negotiations, widespread anti-war protests, and of course covering up the break-in at the Watergate in Washington, D.C.

Journalist Michael Dobbs, a former longtime reporter with The Washington Post, writes history with the drama that reflected the collective seizure experienced by Americans during the Vietnam War, and during the 100 days in 1973 that crashed the Nixon presidency. In his book, King Richard: Nixon and Watergate: An American Tragedy, he brings the reader into the room, as we read dialog from recently released Nixon tapes that are revelatory and sometimes just plain shocking– tapes that have surfaced after 40 years. Dobbs introduces us to conversations between Nixon and aides, investigators, and others, and gives us a narrative of a most tragic fall of a president who created his own undoing. We see into the man himself, through the lens of his own words. Almost 50 years later, Dobbs brings Nixon tapes to us, through his great new book, and his website. Listen to the tapes. Throw yourself back to 1972 and 1973. Shocking.
