Getting The Feds Out Of Abortion Requires Pro-Lifers At HHS With RFK Jr.

The “Make America Healthy Again” spin on Trump’s original slogan has undoubtedly stolen the hearts of health-minded Americans everywhere, but Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” isn’t completely sold.
“I think most people really like that idea,” he says. “We are going down a road, we’re not necessarily the healthiest people. Obesity is through the roof. There are a lot of long-term diseases out there. And so you have to kind of look at this and say, ‘Well, you know, how can we solve these problems?’”
Burguiere, who admits that he has just eaten Cheez-Its himself and gave his son Welch’s fruit snacks, doesn’t believe he’ll “make it in the ‘Make America Healthy Again’ world.”
“I can’t survive in that world, I have too much processed food,” he says, noting that healthy food isn’t the only thing RFK Jr. would be overseeing. “There are a lot of really important decisions being made by the HHS secretary as it relates to something like abortion.”
“If you’re a pro-life person, a lot of those funding decisions, the ease of being able to get chemical abortion pills mailed to you, those are all decisions that were at the HHS level. When Donald Trump was president the first time, he made decisions to restrict those efforts for abortion. Will RFK Jr. do the same thing?” Burguiere asks.
RFK Jr. has also critiqued products like Banana Boat sunscreen for children, which Burguiere isn’t quite on board with either.
“I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you should put sunscreen on your kids when they’re out in the sun. That’s just my opinion. Again, I might be out of the mainstream now,” he explains.
“So many people live in a constant state of fear trying to avoid every ingredient,” he continues. “Relax, live a little, enjoy your life. Indulge occasionally, like on Thanksgiving. Outside of really limited exceptions like allergies, you’re a pretty resilient creature. You can eat fun things and you can be perfectly fine.”
“I’m a conservative. I want smaller government. I don’t want Michael Bloomberg telling me what size soda I can drink, I don’t want Michelle Obama telling me when to move, and I don’t want RFK Jr. micromanaging my micronutrients,” he adds.

Biden Proposes $35 Billion Handout For Big Pharma’s Lucrative Weight Loss Drugs
President Joe Biden has set the stage for an immediate showdown between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and pharmaceutical companies.New York Times authors bash RFK Jr. for criticizing Froot Loops, but common sense gets in the way
RFK Jr., who President-elect Trump has tapped to head Health and Human Services, may have been caught indulging in a McDonald’s Big Mac, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to allow the international chain to continue using chemical additives and seed oils in its products once he assumes office.
Of course, now that Kennedy is team Trump, the left has turned on both him and his proposed health policies.
“The corporate press and their audience of sheep, I mean open-minded liberals, have now pivoted to defending junk food,” says Dave Landau.
The New York Times, for example, released an article attacking Kennedy’s criticism of American Froot Loops, which contain several artificial ingredients.
In an interview with MSNBC earlier this month, Kennedy told the network, “Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it has two or three?”
In the article, author Christina Jewett and Julie Creswell stated:
“Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version. But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada’s has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, a lab-made chemical that is used ‘for freshness,’ according to the ingredient label.”
“So one has fruit and vegetables, and the other has cyanide and rat poison,” says Dave.
The criticism isn’t just coming from the corporate media, however. Some social media users have begun “chugging seed oil” to prove that it’s not bad for you. Dave plays a clip of one young man downing a glass of canola oil.

Calley Means: RFK Jr.'s radical plan for HHS
Former Coca-Cola lobbyist Calley Means first caught Liz Wheeler's eye when he spoke out about the company using “racism” to force the government into putting its product on the food stamps program.
“I thought, ‘What an extraordinary story. This exemplifies the corruption, the ideological corruption, the financial corruption, that is in our health care industry. This revolving door between Big Food and Big Pharma and the federal government,’” Wheeler says.
Now, Means is an adviser to RFK Jr. in the Make America Healthy Again movement that’s taken America by storm.
“I’ve gone from when President Trump first came down that golden escalator ten years ago thinking he’s a threat to democracy to believing that this election is by far the most important victory of our lifetime and, I think, a historic moment in American history where I’ve never been more excited about a president being elected,” Means tells Wheeler.
Wheeler is also thrilled by what’s to come.
“By marrying ‘Make America Great Again’ with ‘Make America Healthy Again,’” Wheeler explains that RFK Jr. and President Trump are telling those with autoimmune diseases, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity that “you don’t have to suffer this.”
And RFK’s plan to ensure they don’t have to suffer as they have been is the best part.
“We’ve heard a couple of promises from Bobby in the past couple days. One of my favorite ones is that he’s going to take all the nutritional scientists out of HHS and either fire them on day one, or if he’s not allowed to fire them, he’s going to build a new headquarters for them in Guam,” Wheeler says.
While the latter part of RFK’s statement was a joke, his plans to reform the American health care system are as serious as it gets.
“We’re going to return to science,” Means says. “I think what bad interests have realized is that there’s nothing higher-level in society than an NIH study. And I’ve actually, Liz, had conversations in the past three days with the senior-most members of the NIH who are defending the institution publicly, who are saying this is an absolute and utter dumpster fire.”
“There’s huge DEI regulations and parameters around what can and can’t be said, a feeling of absolute assault on academic freedom, and from what I’m hearing, when you add it up, eighty to ninety percent of NIH grants and funding goes to pharmaceutical R&D,” Means explains.
“We’re going to get any type of ideology out of our scientific guidelines,” he continues. “And that’s the key to everything.”

‘Voluntarism and choice’: Why RFK Jr. will succeed where Fauci FAILED
The COVID-19 pandemic didn’t just wake American citizens up to corruption in the health care industry but to the figureheads intentionally leading them away from the truth, and ultimately, health.
“When I’m looking around in America, I see ordinary Americans becoming very suspicious of the health care industry, very suspicious of vaccines, they feel like there’s not much they can do other than just say no to things, say no to the junk food, say no to the vaxes,” James Poulos of “Zero Hour” tells Sen. Rand Paul.
“The government needs to turn over a new leaf and try being honest. Because of their vast dishonesty, people are hesitant. People don’t believe the government anymore,” Paul responds.
And that distrust is for good reason.
“It appears as if the government perhaps is more concerned with the profit of Pfizer and Moderna than they are actually with the truth,” Paul explains. “There never was proof actually with children or adults that the vaccine stopped transmission, but there was also never any evidence for children that it reduced hospitalization or death.”
“Why? Because no children were going to the hospital or dying to begin with,” he continues. “In fact, when Anthony Fauci was challenged on this, he said, ‘Well, they show that kids will make an antibody if you give them a vaccine,’ and I informed him that I could give your kid a hundred vaccines, they’ll make antibodies every time. It doesn’t mean they need them.”
While the Democrats are now afraid that RFK Jr. will do away with vaccines all together, their fear is misguided — as RFK Jr. does not plan to eradicate vaccines but rather offer families choice.
“This is the problem with these people,” Paul says. “They’re now advocating for things that seem to enrich a billion dollar company but don’t seem to have factual evidence that it’s beneficial to your child. So now people are distrusting them on everything.”
“There probably are vaccines that your kids should probably take, and it still should be your choice. I’m a big person on voluntarism and choice, but at the same time, people are suspecting everything the government tells them, because we’ve had such a spate of dishonesty,” he adds.
