Big Pharma has so much money, they don't just buy politicians — they rent both parties. That's not a conspiracy theory. That's a quote from RFK Jr., and it's exactly what Republican strategist Chris Faulkner breaks down in this episode of Bust Big Pharma.Rob Burgess sits down with Chris — a veteran political consultant who joined the Bust Big Pharma bus tour across the Southeast — to talk about why Congress won't act on drug pricing, what the 2026 midterms mean for pharma reform, and how everyday Americans can actually move the needle.In this episode:Why Congress hesitates to codify Most Favored Nation pricing — and what's really behind the resistanceHow pharmaceutical companies spend 70–80% of ad dollars on some TV networks, and what that means for the news you're watchingThe three polling numbers every voter should know: 80%, 75%, 72%Why drug pricing is the ultimate 2026 wedge issue — and how candidates should be talking about itWhat a Republican strategist tells his clients about running against Big PharmaThe Bernie Sanders moment that exposed Novo Nordisk's profit margin in real timeWhy dumping pharma stocks publicly might be the most effective form of civic activism right nowThe bottom line: This isn't a left issue or a right issue.
