13:03Now PlayingThe United States is threatening to cut off lifesaving HIV medication for 1.3 million people in Zambia — not because the program failed, but because Zambia won't hand over access to its copper, lithium, and cobalt fast enough. A leaked State Department memo prepared for Secretary Rubio says the US must show its 'willingness to publicly take support away from Zambia on a massive scale.' Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson breaks down what PEPFAR is, why this is a legal and moral crisis, and why using medicine as a bargaining chip for minerals is a betrayal of one of America's greatest humanitarian legacies.
