EPA reverses Biden-era rules on greenhouse gas emissions



The Environmental Protection Agency under President Trump is looking a lot different than the one that existed under Biden after Trump’s rollback of greenhouse gas limits.

The agency is now proposing to repeal all greenhouse gas emissions standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants, which would include requirements set under Biden.

“This is a big deal, because when you think about your electricity bill, when you think about the cost of powering the country, these power plants are a huge part of it,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere explains on “Stu Does America.”

“When you limit how they can produce the fuel that you need, you wind up driving up the cost of that energy. That’s why your power bills have probably gone up over the past couple of years,” he continues, noting that the reasoning behind Biden’s requirements were silly in the first place.


“You have to remember that 88% of emissions don’t come from the United States. Everyone’s obsessed with the United States and what we’re driving and what kind of power we’re using, but 88% of global emissions come from other places, not us,” Stu says. “So really, the focus on us just kind of seems to be a little bit more about anti-capitalism than anything else.”

And while 12% of global emissions do come from the United States, 75% of those emissions are coming from sources that are not power plants.

“What we’re talking about here is only 3% of global emissions. A little, tiny slice of a little, tiny slice that comes from coal and natural gas plants,” Stu explains. “And that’s not even the entire picture, because things have been changing, honestly, in a direction that nobody on television wants to tell you about, because everyone wants to scare you.”

“Everyone wants to tell you that the emissions are going crazy, and we’re all going to die, and global warming is coming to town, and it’s going to, you know, going to backhand you across the face, and we’re going to have these terrible storms,” he continues.

In a chart revealing the total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 to 2022, the amount continues to drop.

“They’ve been going down since the mid-2000s, not dramatically. Down from 5.5% in 2005,” Stu says. “With the exception, really, of the COVID year, where we had one dramatic drop. And even the dramatic drop, it wasn’t all that dramatic, which kind of tells you something about greenhouse emissions overall.”

“When we basically shut down our economy for a year,” he adds, “we just had a slight drop in greenhouse gas emissions.”

MAHA study unveiled: The truth behind autism



The Trump administration is shedding light on the chronic disease epidemic that’s affecting children all across America. Now that they have the data, the next item on the agenda is stopping it.

“Four months ago, I created the presidential commission to Make America Healthy Again, and today the commission officially delivers its first report on childhood health,” Trump said in a press conference.

“Here are just some of the alarming findings, and they really are alarming,” he continued. “More than 40% of American children now have at least one chronic health condition. Since the 1970s, rates of childhood cancer have soared, in many cases by nearly 50%.”


Trump went on to explain that in the 1960s, less than 5% of children were obese.

“Now, over 20% are obese,” the president explained. “Just a few decades ago, 1 in 10,000 children had autism. Today, it’s 1 in 31.”

“For the first time ever, this report examines some of the root causes that many believe are making our children sicker and our population sicker,” he continued, “such as the ultra-processed foods, over-medicalization, and over-prescription, and widespread exposure to potentially toxic chemicals.”

“Unlike other administrations, we will not be silenced or intimidated by the corporate lobbyist or special interest,” he added.

According to the report, Trump’s commission found that nearly 70% of children’s calories come from ultra-processed foods. They also found that there are thousands of environmental chemicals — many of which are linked to cancer, developmental disorders, and endocrine disruption.

Lifestyle also plays a massive role in the disease epidemic, with sedentary behavior, too much screen time, poor sleep, chronic stress, and over-medicalization being major factors.

While everything on that list needs to be remedied, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes one item in particular needs the most attention — and fast.

“I would 100% tackle the food first,” Gonzales comments on "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered." “You can choose not to vaccinate your children or yourself. You can choose to be a couch potato or not. You can choose whether or not you take medication.”

“But what you can’t choose is the fact that you need food to live, and if we don’t have any clean sources of food in this country, then it’s not going to matter what you do. You’re still going to be poisoned,” she adds.

‘Part of me died in that cell’: January 6 QAnon Shaman thrown in solitary for helping police?



Some of the most famous images from the January 6 Capitol protest are of Jake Chansley — better known as the QAnon Shaman — who donned a horn-studded fur headdress, patriotic face paint, and no shirt to the Capitol building.

While Chansley recalls attempting to help Capitol police officers, he’s been painted by the media and the left as a caricature of the violent right.

“I volunteered to help the police when they were overwhelmed,” Chansley tells BlazeTV hosts Matthew Peterson and Jill Savage on “Blaze News I The Mandate.” “I was like, ‘Hey, there’s people in the Senate, if you want my help I can help you clear the building, stop vandalism, violence, and theft.’”


“And they said, ‘Yeah, come on, let’s go.’ So I said, ‘OK.’ And that’s why we went from locked door to locked door trying to get into the Senate,” he explains. “But that went totally against their narrative, didn’t it? They needed my image to create the illusion that the chaos that happened outside the building also happened inside.”

“Because it didn’t,” he adds.

Peterson has seen the footage and believes it supports Chansley’s memory of the events.

“What’s wild about this is the footage is very clear,” Peterson says. “One point, you’re surrounded by nine police officers, and you’re walking around with them. I mean, did at any point any of them stop you?”

“No, why would they? The cops said, ‘This guy's with us,’” Chansely explains.

However, the truth didn’t matter when it came to the justice system.

“I served 27 months behind bars, 10 and a half was in solitary confinement,” he tells Savage and Peterson. “The days seemed like weeks, the weeks seemed like months, months seemed like years. A part of me died in that cell, but that’s OK, because that guy was weak and too trusting of the government, of the media.”

“Now that I am on the other side, now that I have seen the distortions in the narrative,” he continues, “and I have gotten a chance to see how distorted people’s opinions are online, how distorted they are on television, it’s a whole new world for me.”

“I was blind, but now I see,” he adds.

Glenn Beck: EVERY TAXPAYER ‘should be raising holy hell’



The cuts to Medicaid have Democrats scrambling for ways to fight back and keep draining the American people of their tax dollars, but Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. isn’t letting them get away with it.

“I don’t know if you understand this, or whether you’re just mouthing the Democratic talking points. The cuts to Medicaid are for fraud, waste, and abuse. And I'll tell you what that means,” RFK Jr. said to Representative Josh Harder (D-Calif.) in a congressional hearing.

“Because of DOGE, we were able to determine that there are a million people who are claiming Medicaid from multiple states. That’s illegal. It’s a theft. You’re not allowed to do that,” he continued, “these are the only cuts that are being made to Medicaid.”

“And guess what Gavin Newsom did? This morning, he said we’re going to take all the illegal aliens off the California Medicaid rolls because the feds aren’t spying for them anymore,” he added.


“This is RFK arguing with Democrats about Medicaid, fraud, abuse, and he’s saying ‘We’re just taking people off that are illegally using Medicaid,’” BlazeTV host Glenn Beck explains on “The Glenn Beck Program.”

“Who is against this, honestly?” Glenn asks. “Now, Gavin Newsom is putting everybody on California aid. Excuse me, California, how are you going to afford that? Every taxpayer left, right, and center, every taxpayer in California should be raising holy hell.”

“How are you going to pay for that?” he continues, adding, “Your state is going to collapse economically.”

However, Glenn is convinced this isn’t a mistake.

“That’s part of the plan,” Glenn says. “Overwhelm and collapse the system, and they’ve already done it. They did it in New York City back in the '70s, and New York City collapsed. Now, they’re doing it to states, and it’s going to happen the same way. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to send my taxpayer dollars to California.”

“You come to the United States of America, and you ask us to bail you out, and anybody in Congress that is from my state, I will make it my mission to put you out on the street, I will make it my mission if you vote to bail out California,” he warns.

RFK Jr. BLASTS COVID-era response; promises new chapter



In the years that followed COVID-19, the mainstream media, including outlets like Fox News, continued to push the idea that Americans had to “trust the science.”

And while Fox News did have its share of dissident voices speaking out during the Biden administration’s reign, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. isn’t letting Fox forget when it did fall in line.

“Above all, we are going to get rid of the taboos about challenging orthodoxies, about challenging consensus, and we’re telling the public every day, all of us, ‘That is not science,’” RFK Jr. said in an interview on Fox News — before taking it to task for the part it played in the Biden administration's tyrannical reign.


“Your whole industry was telling the public for years, ‘Trust the experts.’ ‘Trust the experts’ is not a function of science or democracy, it’s a function of totalitarianism and religion,” he added.

“Hold the vaccines, but inject that into my veins,” Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” tells Matthew Peterson, who agrees wholeheartedly.

“I can’t emphasize enough that this is important, that people tell the truth in these positions after we’ve been told lies for so long,” he tells Savage. “The fact that you have the director of HHS, the people who are in charge of all these agencies, coming out and saying, ‘Oh no, these people have not earned trust, and science is about questioning and finding the truth.’”

“Straight into our veins and also into the bloodstream of the entire country, because it’s what we need to hear,” he adds.

Could an uncertified doctor become America's next surgeon general?



President Donald Trump’s first pick for surgeon general, Janette Nesheiwat, proved to be a disaster when his supporters began to point out that Nesheiwat publicly supported COVID vaccinations, boosters, and masking — and never spoke out against them.

“It was a very strange pick, in my opinion, for him to bring on RFK Jr., who was sounding the alarm about all of these crazy things that were happening. He was, like, leading the charge. And then to pick someone like Dr. Janette just did not seem to align,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” comments.

In response, Trump has withdrawn his support of Nesheiwat and nominated Dr. Casey Means instead. Though still, Trump’s supporters can’t seem to agree on the nomination.

“The MAHA community is very divided right now, which is not what we need. It’s very frustrating to see. We’ve finally gotten our big moment on the big stage, and what are we doing? Arguing,” Gonzales says.


RFK Jr. has responded to the main arguments against Means’ nomination, telling Fox News, “Casey Means we felt was the best person to really bring the vision of MAHA to the American public.”

“She has this unique capacity to articulate it. She’s written a book that really mobilized, galvanized the movement. She is excellent in everything she’s ever done,” RFK continued, before the interviewer, Brett Baier, pressed Kennedy on Means’ qualifications. Namely, Baier pointed out that Means never finished her residency and doesn’t have an active medical license.

“She was the top of her medical class at Stanford. In her residency, she won every award that she could’ve won. She walked away from traditional medicine because she was not curing patients. She couldn’t get anybody within her profession to look at the nutrition contributions to illness,” RFK explained, noting that Means wants to find “new approaches to medicine.”

Gonzales is behind RFK on this one.

“I just don’t know how much of a qualification being licensed to practice medicine really is. Like what good is that? Because all of the doctors who were telling people to mask up, who were requiring masks in their offices, who were telling their patients to abide by 6 feet social distancing markers, even though there was absolutely no scientific evidence to show that 6 feet was the magical number,” she comments.

“America is sicker than ever. We have more chronic disease than ever. Our kids are sicker than ever. And so, you know, sometimes it just makes you think like, I don’t know, maybe I do want the person who isn’t technically licensed to practice medicine right now but went through all of the same schooling,” Gonzales continues.

“And instead of regurgitating it like a sheep, she said, ‘Hey, I’m going to think critically about this,’” she adds.

Repealing the Patriot Act — does Rep. Luna's new bill stand a chance?



Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) has introduced the “American Privacy Restoration Act,” which aims to fully repeal the Patriot Act and “strip rogue intelligence officers of their extraordinary mass surveillance powers.”

“Since the passage of the USA Patriot Act in the aftermath of 9/11, intelligence agency officials have used their mass surveillance tools to settle personal scores, interfere in elections, and spy on untold numbers of innocent Americans. This abuse must come to an end,” Luna wrote in a post on X.

“Do we think that Anna Paulina Luna can actually gain enough support, because we know disarming the deep state is not going to be easy. So will she be able to get enough people to rally around this and get this one done?” Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” asks co-host Matthew Peterson.


“We don’t even know if Congress will have enough people to get President Trump’s budget passed, so I can’t say, ‘Yes,’” Peterson answers.

“I’m old enough to remember when the Patriot Act was a predominantly Republican-coded thing,” he continues. “Republicans are the ones who were responsible for the Patriot Act, although there were some people, like the Pauls, we have to give credit to, who realized this was a bad idea.”

“So that is an enormous challenge, but what’s really refreshing about this, is that here you have a star person in Congress, a real star, coming out and doing something that would’ve been considered radical even five years ago, that needs to be done. So is it a step in the right direction? Hell yeah, it is,” he adds.

President Trump officially outlaws gain-of-function research



In a massive win for the Make America Healthy Again movement, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order banning all federal funding — present and future — for gain-of-function research abroad.

The order will also deputize the National Institutes of Health and other agencies to identify biological research harmful to public health or threatening to national security.

As Trump signed the executive order, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had a few comments of his own.


“This is a historic day. The end of gain-of-function research funding by the federal government, and also controls by private corporations on gain-of-function studies,” Kennedy said while standing next to the president. “This was the kind of study that was engaged in by the United States military and intelligence agencies, beginning in 1947.”

“By 1969, the CIA said that they had reached nuclear equivalency — that they could kill the entire U.S. population for 29 cents a person,” he continued. “That year, President Nixon went to Fort Detrick and announced a unilateral end to this kind of research — what they call dual-use research.”

Dual-use research, Kennedy explained, was “for vaccination and also for military purposes.”

Nixon then persuaded over 180 countries to sign the bioweapons charter in 1973, which essentially put an end to gain-of-function research across the globe — until the 9/11 and anthrax attacks — which led to the Patriot Act.

“The Patriot Act had a provision, a little known provision in it, that said that although the bioweapons charter is still in effect, and the Geneva Convention is still in effect, U.S. federal officials who violated it cannot be prosecuted,” Kennedy added.

“Now, you hear this and you’re like, ‘Well, they already told us that they were not supposed to be engaging in gain-of-function research, but they were,’” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” comments.

“And they weren’t doing it with someone who you would call maybe our ally. They were doing it with, of course, China, which I just feel like it takes a basic level of intelligence to be like, ‘That’s a bad idea. That’s not a good idea,’” she continues.

And a bad idea it was.

“You’ve got America's health institutions implicated in the development of that man-made virus,” Gonzales says. “It makes you wonder how many more have happened or are on the way that we just don’t know about yet.”

Pay to leave? Trump drops new plan to get rid of illegal immigrants



The Department of Homeland Security has announced a new initiative to help solve the immigration crisis, which would give undocumented immigrants a $1,000 stipend if they choose to self-deport from the United States.

“If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest,” Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said about the initiative. “DHS is now offering illegal aliens financial travel assistance and a stipend to return to their home country through the CBP Home App.”

The CBP Home App was originally the CBP One App, which under the Biden administration helped illegal immigrants find their way into the United States. Now, under Trump, it’s helping them find their way out.


Illegal immigrants have also been offered free airfare on their journey home.

“They said that this is going to save taxpayers significantly, because it would cost $4,500 per person, compared to over $17,000 that we are spending for arrest, detention, and then, of course, the forced removal,” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” explains.

And considering $4,500 is much less than what it costs for an illegal immigrant to live in the United States indefinitely, Gonzales finds this “more than fair.”

“You came into our country, you broke our laws, you continue evading capture, and still, President Trump is kind and gracious enough to be like, ‘You know what, let’s let bygones be bygones. I’ll pay you $1,000 and give you a free flight home,’” Gonzales says.

“That’s way more generous than I probably would be,” she adds.

Trump’s surgeon general nominee praised censorship; called COVID vax a ‘gift from God’



CBS News has just released a report accusing Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, surgeon general nominee, of deliberately misrepresenting the truth regarding her academic career — but Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” has other concerns about Nesheiwat.

Concerns that she believes should lead to the withdrawal of President Trump’s nomination.

“The most serious reason that senators must vote ‘no,’” Wheeler says, is that “Janette Nesheiwat called the COVID vax a ‘gift from God.’”

“She praised Facebook and other Big Tech companies for censoring what she called ‘anti-vax information,’” Wheeler continues. “And remember what these people, how these people, define ‘anti-vax information.’ Anything that discourages people from following their advice is what they consider to be anti-vax.”


“First of all, vaccines save lives, and I am so excited and I thank and I commend Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg for taking action because this affects everyone. This affects our children, it affects adults. I mean, just look at the recent measles outbreak, the biggest outbreak that we’ve had in decades with measles and that’s no joke,” Nesheiwat said in an interview on Fox Business.

“And that’s no joke,” she continued. “Measles can cause brain inflammation and pneumonia and ear infections and hearing loss and death. So it’s about time that they are taking action, and I hope and pray that other social media platforms will follow suit and do the same thing.”

“As if that’s not bad enough, maybe the most polarizing, maybe, maybe, the COVID vaccine is the most polarizing part of COVID. Maybe it was the lockdowns, maybe it was the social distancing, maybe it was the masking, maybe it was closing your businesses, maybe it was masking your children in school,” Wheeler comments.

“Guess who supported masking children in school? Dr. Janette Nesheiwat,” she continues.

In October 2021, Nesheiwat posted on social media that “masks have saved thousands of lives and prevented thousands of infections.”

“No scientific evidence of this, this is a stupid opinion. Not quite as harmful as masking children in school, but stupid,” Wheeler comments.

“There’s simply no question that President Trump should withdraw the nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat from surgeon general, and the senators on the HELP committee in the United States Senate should vote no, should absolutely vote no,” she adds.
