What was said

"I'll fill you in on the FDA situation. I think it was as simple as some of the nicotine execs golfing with the president and asking for this passing to be made."

The host claimed that the FDA's recent approval of fruity-flavored vapes, which are extremely popular with children, resulted from nicotine executives playing golf with the president and requesting the approval. This contradicts the previous FDA commissioner's stated concerns about youth vaping.
