Robert F Kennedy Jr, nephew of America's 35th President, John F. Kennedy, has been nominated to be the next US health secretary by President-elect Donald Trump. The post oversees everything from medical research to food safety and public welfare programmes. Kennedy has been the face of “Make America Healthy Again”, a movement dedicated to “public health, sustainable practices and a government that truly serves the people”.This week of The Inquiry, we look at how MAHA wants to tackle chronic disease, in particular obesity. Will RFK carry these ideas into public office? How will food corporations and colleagues in the US Congress react? How feasible is it for the US Health Secretary to shift the dial on healthy eating?Contributors: Bill Dietz, Director of the Stop Obesity Alliance at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., US Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump State Department official, US Professor Jerold Mande, CEO of Nourish Science, US Professor Colleen Heflin, Professor of public administration and international affairs at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, USProduction Team: Presenter: Charmaine Cozier Producers: Vicky Carter and Matt Toulson Production Co-ordinator: Liam Morrey Technical producer: Richard Hannaford Editor: Tara McDermottPhoto Credit: Bloomberg via GettyImages
Matt Mowers, President of Valcour - Global Public Strategy, former Trump State Department official, and founding board member of the EU-US Forum, joined the Guy Benson Show today with Guy from Vienna, Austria. Mowers and Benson discussed the reasons for the founding of the EU-US Forum. As Mowers details, many of the far-left policies that are beginning to creep into mainstream US politics originated from the leftist policies of the European Union. In polling done by the forum, it was discovered that the vast majority of these leftist policies are not supported by ordinary people living under the rule of the governmental body. Benson and Mowers also discussed the Labour Party sweep in the United Kingdom, as well as the outlook on the elections going on in the US this November.

Stigall wonders aloud about the White House flack John Kirby's tears yesterday on CNN as he's forced to comment on the atrocities committed against the people of Israel. Not because they're not worthy of tears, but because the Biden administration has done more to create the havoc and despair than anyone other than the Hamas terrorists themselves. Stigall is joined by former Trump State Department official Gabriel Noronha for his perspective. Plus Sean Spicer gives us his surprising take on what RFK Jr's entrance into the presidential race as an independent means for Trump and Biden. And our chief economist Steve Moore discusses a robust jobs market against crippling inflation and a bond market collapse. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
David Waldman and Greg Dworkin would have brought us a great Indigenous Peoples' Day show today if only the world were just a better place. Israel was just minding its own business when it should have been minding the parapets and came under lethal assault by Hamas. A devastating attack, and a seeming surprise to the world's most threatened nation. Thousands have been killed in horrific attacks and kidnappings. Thousands more will follow as Israel blows Palestine rubble to smithereens. Hamas turned into ISIS when too much peace was breaking out. Netanyahu also bears responsibility for allowing Hamas under the Iron Dome, though TFFG might have helped pound in the wedge. Of course, a bitter blame game will follow Israel's wartime unity. (David supplied a Blue Sky “skeet” containing a link to a paywalled site which I simply screen grabbed, sent to myself via Messenger, downloaded as a PNG, and uploaded to Threads, voilà!) Republican ruptures are making any allies hoping for US assistance sweat, so is it up to Democrats to save America and the world yet again? Hakeem Jeffries believes the time is right for bipartisanship. Matt Gaetz likes the glass half-empty, and would dump it all, even if it means his ouster. (He might have something there.) At least political scientists can have fun experimenting. Just don't ask Alexa. She can tell you, garbage in will get you garbage out. A Trump State Department official seems to be a white nationalist content creator. Who'd a thunk?
AP correspondent Lisa Dwyer reports on Capitol Riot Trial.
The new Iran nuclear deal the Biden administration reportedly is close to finishing will change the Middle East, but not for the better, says Ellie Cohanim, former deputy special envoy for monitoring and combating antisemitism in the Trump State Department. Probably the most significant consequence will be “the perception of the United States' historic allies […]
Len Khodorkovsky has one of those heartwarming American Jewish stories: A refugee from the Soviet Union finds safe haven in America, where he thrives, builds a family and reaches professional success… then helps the president of the United States tweet Game of Thrones memes. Len Khodorkovsky served at the State Department as a Deputy Assistant Secretary for Global Public Affairs. He was also a Senior Advisor to the US Special Representative for Iran and the Chief Marketing Officer of America's economic diplomacy. He was also the Trump State Department's secret weapon, the guy who helped the President of the United States tweet some of his most famous (or infamous?) memes! Prior to joining government, Len was an advertising executive for more than two decades, where he helped Fortune 100 companies develop global ad campaigns and grow their brands. He is now the Chief Marketing Officer of the Technology Trust Network, an organization working to secure freedom through widespread adoption of trusted technologies.

Sam and Emma host Ari Berman, writer at Mother Jones and author of Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America (2015), to discuss the restrictive voting bill making its way through the Texas State Legislature in a special session called by Governor Abbott, which has led Texas Democrats to leave the state to avoid meeting a quorum for the vote. They discuss the trajectory of the voting rights struggle since Ari wrote his book, the amount of laws like this going through statehouses across the country, the "godfather of redistricting" Richard Hofeller, John Roberts's lifelong crusade against the Voting Rights Act, Republicans "institutionalizing the Big Lie", what Ari would do if Joe Biden asked him how to bring federal voting rights legislation home through this Congress ahead of the President's big speech today in Philadelphia, and how filibuster reform is what all of these discussions run through. And in the fun half, former Trump State Department spox Morgan Ortagus gets her Asian countries mixed up when coining her catchphrase "the Genocide Olympics" on Fox News, Dave Rubin wonders aloud why no towns in Africa have been wiped out due to COVID, a NewsMax interview gets weird when Rob Finnerty asks a medical doctor "...why should vaccines...get in the way of nature?" House Minority Leader and Martin Luther King acolyte Kevin McCarthy sermonizes with Dave Rubin (in a repeat appearance on the program) about how the late Reverend would despise Critical Race Theory, and Maria Bartiromo wonders aloud with the former President as to why Ashli Babbitt was shot "climbing out of a window" on January 6th (????)

The New York Times is reporting that President Biden ended a Trump State Department investigation into the origin of Covid-19 and the possible role of the virology lab in Wuhan before all the data could be examined. President Biden now says he will report on the results of his new inquiry within the next 90 days...maybe? The Senate just passed a bill requiring that such results not be classified. Do you believe that we will ever know the truth about how the pandemic started and why?

The list of pardonees and commutees from Donald Trump's last day in office was most interesting for who they included - and who they didn't include! Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was just one, while not a single member of the rioters at the Capitol Building was included. We discuss. Then, the Trump State Department leaves a "gift" for Biden's administration by condemning China's treatment of the Uighurs located in northwest China - rightfully so, but the timing is clearly an attempt to make things difficult for the Biden State Department. Next, we talk about the results of "The 1776 Commission", which were released the last full day Trump was in office, claiming that America's schools had been infiltrated by "anti-American indoctrination". We discuss this nonsense. Finally, we show how Climate Change, and the warming trends that are at the center of it, more severely affect those in poor and minority neighborhoods. The science is important, but when people lose their lives to the ravages of Climate Change more when they are poor or black? That cannot go ignored. All that and more on TMI for Friday January 22, 2021 - listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!
The Trump State Department accused China of Genocide with respect to Uyghur Muslims there. That designation is likely to stick. Eric Gomez and Mustafa Akyol offer their thoughts. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
-Guest: Attorney, Jamil Dakwar, Director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Human Rights Program (HRP)Discussion is on the International Bill of Rights – (3 parts) including: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) adopted in 1948 after WWII, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social & Cultural Rights. Specifically, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICESCR), is a “multilateral treaty” adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in December 1966, and put in force in March 1976. Yet, the Trump State Department is weakening the rapport with both the international community, while exacerbating the international norms.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-legal-edition/donations
On November 18, 2019, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a momentous announcement: The United States does not consider Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria—the West Bank—illegal or illegitimate. The conventional wisdom, of course, is that Israeli building in the territories it captured in 1967 is a violation of international law. But after a process of many months, the Trump State Department has decided to return to an understanding of the Geneva Convention once embraced by the Reagan Administration, and to recognize that the status of Israeli building in Judea and Samaria is a political and diplomatic question, not a legal one. In this podcast, Tikvah’s Jonathan Silver is joined by one of the world’s foremost scholars on Israel and international law. Eugene Kontorovich is a professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, a director at the Kohelet Policy Forum, and author of of “Pompeo Busts the ‘Occupation’ Myth,” published in the Wall Street Journal on November 9, 2019. In this conversation, he makes the case for the legality of Israeli settlements and explains how an erroneous and hypocritical interpretation of international law became the conventional wisdom about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble, as well as the original Broadway cast recording of Fiddler on the Roof and “Above the Ocean” by Evan MacDonald.
“Satellite Images Raise Questions About Iran Threat, Experts Say,” worries The Daily Beast. “Iran And Trading Partners Will Find Ways To Skirt Sanctions, Analysts Say,” frets NPR. “Iran uses proxies to punch above its weight in the Middle East, experts say,” declares NBC News. “Fuel from Iran is financing Yemen rebels’ war, U.N. experts say,” writes the Associated Press. Experts say. Analysts say. Officials say. We hear these qualifiers constantly in the media and when it comes to reporting on Iran, experts, analysts, scholars and Fellows are consistently tapped to weigh in on the latest nefarious thing the "Islamic Republic” is up to now. But who are these so-called experts? What’s their track record like and what are their tangential, non-Iranian, related regional political goals? And what does a recent partnership between the Trump State Department and Foundation for Defense of Democracies that targets peace activists on social media tell us about the broader problem of so-called neutral experts? On today’s episode, we’ll dig into some of the resumes of the media’s favorite experticians and breakdown how a revolving door of deeply ideological partisans use US media to pawn themselves off as apolitical scholars. We are joined today by journalist and editor Arash Karami.

Today on @ChosenGenerationRadio IQ Al Rassooli is an expert in Islam, the Quran and the Hadith. He has spent thirty years studying them and has challenged any Islamic scholar or Imam to refute his conclusions by offering $1.5 million to the first to do so. He uses direct quotes from the Islamic writings to support what he says. He discusses the threat that Ilhan Omar represents siting in Congress. He also discusses the recent Cathedral fire and the rash of attacks on churches across Europe. Thaddeus Dionne Alexander our Man on the Street joins us to talk Red Laws, reparation and a call by certain black groups for a new form of segregation. They want certain State territories given to them and all whites to move out. Isn't this just the opposite of what Martin Luther King Jr died trying to prevent? Why can't we just all get together and love one another? Dr Tom Barrett a thirty year veteran of investment strategies www.chosengold.com discusses Crypto-Currency and the current trend towards this new form of investment. Scott Lively www.scottlively.net discusses the efforts by US Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell to lead a campaign to “legalize homosexuality” around the world. This is a dangerous path for the Trump State Department to under take. Scott has some suggestions for addressing the original concern.
Whether it is in word or deed, senior members of President Trump’s administration are proving to be strong advocates of the importance of religious liberty. Learn more at FirstLiberty.org/Briefing. Two public appearances by senior members of the Trump Administration show the Administration’s fundamental commitment to religious liberty. And it’s more than just words. In answer to a question from a reporter, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo pointed out the administration’s foreign policy when it comes to religious freedom. He said, “Because it’s at the heart of all the freedoms that every individual should have, right?” Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker spoke at length about the importance of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act at the Heritage Foundation on Religious Freedom Day. He explained, “RFRA promotes authentic tolerance—because RFRA makes a solemn promise to the people of this nation that we can find a place for them, regardless of who they are, and regardless of their beliefs.” Both of these agencies have backed those words up with action. The Trump State Department hosted a “Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom” in 2018 and plans are underway for another in 2019. The DOJ has issued guidance on religious liberty to all executive agencies, launched its “place to worship” initiative that protects houses of worship, and been active in litigating violations of religious liberty. Whether it involves matters of foreign policy or domestic relations, it is good to see an executive branch committed to defending religious liberty in both word and deed. To learn how First Liberty is protecting religious liberty for all Americans, visit FirstLiberty.org.
