Trump vs. RFK: Where do they stand on the vaccine fight?
Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. is shaking up Washington by cutting vaccine funding, challenging Big Pharma, and pushing to yank the COVID shot off the U.S. market — while President Trump continues to champion Operation Warp Speed.
RFK’s latest moves were featured in an article in Newsweek, which appears to be what the president is responding to.
“Despite COVID, which was a very unfortunate situation for the whole world, we did a great job with it. Never got the credit for the job we did. Operation Warp Speed, people say, is one of the greatest achievements ever, in politics or in the military, because it was almost a military procedure,” President Trump said during a recent cabinet meeting.
“But everybody, including Putin, said that Operation Warp Speed, what you did with that, nobody can believe it. And we did a great job,” he added.
“It looks like HHS, they’re like, ‘Hey, you know what? We’ve gotten rid of some of the other vaccine stuff. You can’t give this to kids or pregnant women anymore.’ And, you know, sometimes you just want to leak some information out there,” BlazeTV host Jill Savage tells Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford on “Blaze News: The Mandate.”
“And Donald Trump heard that, and at his press conference, I mean, you just heard the reaction,” she adds.
“Yeah, that’s expected,” Bedford says. “That’s kind of an amateur move from HHS when you’re dealing with President Trump, who’s not like most other people.”
“The secretary of defense has found this out, for example, when he went ahead of the president on putting off arms shipments to Ukraine. This is something that was actually on the president’s agenda, but it wasn’t the right time with the president’s negotiations with Russia and Ukraine, and he was extremely irritated that there was a rollout beforehand,” he continues.
As for RFK’s moves, Bedford believes he’s taking it “a bridge too far.”
“He ought to take warning, and he ought to probably back off and figure out a different way, because if he does want to get this done, then leaking it to Newsweek, leaking it to liberal reporters and not going through the proper [channels] and convincing the president,” Bedford explains, “well, that’s not the way to do it.”
“That’s actually the way to lose your job,” he adds.

Whitlock: Raja Jackson as the star of a degenerate 'Truman Show'
As new details emerge regarding Raja Jackson’s violent beatdown of Syko Stu during a wrestling match — where he landed 20+ punches to the wrestler as he knocked him out cold and put him in critical condition — some are excusing the behavior as simply “going too far.”
A.J. Mana, a wrestler who was at KnoxK Pro, was seen telling Jackson to give Stu “a receipt” and to “tag his s**t” before Raja’s run-in on Stu’s match.
Now he’s trying to defend what happened.
“He is there on business, or for business. Not to do business in the show, to promote the show. To promote me. To promote himself. It was a cross-collaborative agreement. Y’all want to suggest that somehow I would set up my own brother? Y’all want to push this f**king narrative that me, not the gimmick, the f**king human being,” Mana said on “The F Y’all Podcast with C.T. Fletcher.”
“Yes, he went too far. We don’t have to ascertain whether or not he went too far. I’m trying to absolve myself right now of these false allegations that I somehow — what was the term? I prompted the … attempted murder. An accessory to attempted to murder,” he continued.
“That’s a serious allegation,” he added.
“This is not the smartest group of people on the planet. This is a group of desperate people. And if you know anything about professional wrestling, this is the people at the bottom that eventually rise all the way to the top, may become Hulk Hogan, but they all start out desperate,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says on “Fearless.”
“And now that we’ve created this livestream world where everybody is out trying to get rich by turning their personal life into 'The Truman Show,' that all they see themselves is as a piece of content,” he says.
“And so when you watch these guys talk about this incident when A.J. Mana, he’s talking, ‘We were on business, I was doing my livestream, he’s doing his livestream, we’re trying to build a brand,’” he continues.
And that “brand” is a degenerate one.
“This is the world we’ve built. The more profane, the more degenerate, the more criminal, the more sexually deviant you are, the more valuable the system sees you. This media content system, it sees you as more valuable. It funnels you more attraction. It funnels you more views,” Whitlock says.
“I’m amazed, like this is what entertains people,” he says, adding, “This is what draws a massive audience.”
