Hour 1
Special Guest: Jonathan Emord
For the past 37 years, Jonathan W. Emord has litigated against the federal bureaucracy, winning over and over again. Ron Paul calls Jonathan “an expert in constitutional theory and history” and “an expert litigator with a long string of legal victories over the federal bureaucracy.” George Noory calls him “a Knight in Shining Armor” and “a warrior out to save our rights.” Congressmen Dan Burton and John Doolittle describe him as “an intellectual warrior for the rights and freedoms of people in America.” Jonathan has a unique, detailed knowledge of the federal bureaucracy, the deep state. He knows how to defeat it. Jonathan graduated from the University of Illinois (BA, political science and history, 1982) and DePaul University College of Law (JD, 1985). He served as an attorney in the Federal Communications Commission during the Reagan administration. A leading constitutional law and litigation expert, he is the author of five critically acclaimed books. He has won more cases against the Food and Drug Administration in federal court than any other attorney in American history, earning him the nickname “FDA Dragon Slayer.” He is a columnist for Townhall.com, PJ Media.com, Americangreatness.com, and the U.S.A. Today Magazine. He frequently appears on national radio and television programs. He is married to Sheryl Emord, and they have two children, twins Justice and Angelica. They reside in Clifton, Virginia.
Trump announces MAHA advocate Casey Means will be new surgeon general nominee President Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Casey Means as the new U.S. Surgeon General, replacing Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, whose nomination was withdrawn amid concerns over her credentials and political alignment. Dr. Means, a Stanford-educated physician and wellness influencer, co-founded the health tech company Levels and has been a prominent advocate for the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) initiative. She is closely associated with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and her brother, Calley Means, serves as a senior adviser to Kennedy. Dr. Means has promoted natural health remedies, criticized the medical establishment, and advocated for reforms such as dietary changes and limiting certain public health programs. Her nomination aligns with the administration’s focus on alternative health approaches and reflects a shift toward integrating wellness advocacy into federal health policy. If confirmed, Dr. Means will lead public health initiatives and play a key role in implementing the MAHA agenda.
The Missing Healthy: What the Latest Supplement Hit Piece—and the Food Is Medicine Movement—Get Fatally Wrong The article critiques recent negative portrayals of dietary supplements and challenges the “Food is Medicine” movement’s approach to health and nutrition. It highlights that a significant portion of the American population is deficient in essential nutrients, with government surveys indicating that 90% lack sufficient vitamin D, 51% are deficient in vitamin A, and large percentages fall short on magnesium, vitamins E and K, and potassium. The piece argues that supplements are not only safe when used appropriately but are also necessary to address these widespread deficiencies. It criticizes the “Food is Medicine” initiative, supported by organizations like the Rockefeller and Gates Foundations, for promoting a controlled, pharmaceutical-adjacent model of wellness that overlooks the benefits of supplementation. The article emphasizes the existence of a “missing healthy” population—individuals who maintain vibrant health through natural approaches, including diet, supplements, and lifestyle modifications—whose experiences are often ignored in mainstream research and media. It calls for recognition of these individuals and a more inclusive understanding of health that values both traditional and alternative practices.
Another Blow to PFAS Protections: Trump Administration Undermines Efforts to Regulate Toxic “Forever Chemicals” The article discusses the Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) introducing a rule that weakens chemical safety evaluations by assessing only specific uses of toxic substances like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as “forever chemicals.” This approach makes it more challenging to regulate these substances comprehensively, despite strong scientific evidence linking PFAS to cancer and other serious health issues. The new rule allows widespread exposure to continue, with an estimated 95 million Americans potentially drinking contaminated water. The change benefits the chemical industry by blocking stronger state regulations and exploiting loopholes in federal law, further delaying meaningful action against these persistent chemicals. The article emphasizes the need for stronger protections and regulatory measures to address the widespread contamination and health risks associated with PFAS exposure.
States Sue RFK Jr., Makary, Seeking To Block HHS Cuts A coalition of 19 states and the District of Columbia has filed a lawsuit against Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other top health officials, including CDC Acting Director Susan Monarez and newly appointed FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. The lawsuit challenges recent workforce reductions and organizational restructuring within HHS, alleging that these actions are unlawful and could have potentially irreversible consequences. The plaintiffs argue that the cuts have added offloaded costs to the states and harmed public health efforts, such as responding to a growing measles outbreak and tracking cancer risks among U.S. firefighters. The lawsuit claims that the restructuring has deprived HHS of the resources necessary to fulfill its duties, with the FDA losing around 3,500 staff members and a total of 20,000 full-time employees being terminated across the department. The states are seeking a judicial order to halt the implementation of the restructuring plan and to declare the actions unlawful.
Hour 2
MAHA Is a Role Model for America
The article highlights the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement as an exemplary model for national health reform, emphasizing its leadership under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. MAHA’s approach is characterized by a clear vision, strategic planning, and effective execution, aiming to address chronic health issues through lifestyle changes, nutritional awareness, and regulatory reforms. The movement’s initiatives include reducing the consumption of ultra-processed foods, limiting harmful additives, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. By challenging the status quo of the food and pharmaceutical industries, MAHA seeks to empower individuals with knowledge and resources to make healthier choices. The article underscores the importance of leadership that is unafraid to confront entrenched systems and advocates for policies grounded in scientific evidence and public well-being. MAHA’s comprehensive strategy serves as a blueprint for other health initiatives, demonstrating the potential for transformative change when guided by committed and visionary leadership.
