Heidi Overton

I'm sorry, it's properly called the Food and Drug Administration, but as I pointed out for years, the FDA approves all kinds of things that don't have any real medicinal value, but they do a great job of killing you.

And the new nominee is a woman named Dr. Heidi Overton, which I thought was kind of humorous.

Remember the Overton window? Yeah, anything within the Overton window is acceptable dialogue.

and things that are too true so that they're not within the Overton window, you can't even talk about in a not-so-open society.

But anyway, this, uh, excuse for a doctor, this scumbag, and there are other words here that rhyme with witch, folks, just categorically stated before the U.S. Congress, you ready for this? That all vaccines available in the United States are, say it with me, safe und effective.

HHS officials still held the event, premiering a separate food effort and saying they were continuing to work on the ultra-processed food policy.

Means and Dr. Heidi Overton, Trump's nominee to lead the Food and Drug Administration, tried again to publish the definition at the end of the month, but were again forbidden by others in the White House.

People familiar with the matter said, In the weeks since the definition's scuttled unveiling, many food and agriculture groups and companies, as well as health groups and consumer advocates, have sought to weigh in.

White House staff have met to discuss the definition with groups representing farmers, meatpackers, food and beverage manufacturers, grocers, and more.

And, well, in the health circles too, in the Maha movement for sure.

And, uh, so that is, uh, a big story here, and we'll talk about this, uh, Heidi Overton, who is the, uh, candidate for the, to be the FDA director, by the way.

And that, that's been hard to get that position [laughs] filled, it seems.

But, uh, it's interesting story.

He really does do a great job.

Um, and so I, I was privileged to have him here today with me and, uh, talk a little bit about some of these stories.

If you missed any part of the front, we talked about Heidi Overton, the new, uh, FDA candidate to be director, and a lot of the politics behind this garbage that they throw out back and forth, you know.

Um, but, but there's some leadership points we point out in there that I think are very valuable.

We talk, of course, about Maha and politics and the midterms.

We talk about Heidi Overton, Trump's pick to lead FDA, who actually was just before the Senate for her confirmation hearing a few hours before we recorded this.

We don't yet know where her nomination will go.

We talk about that briefly.

Yeah.

But there's a new possibly new FDA chief coming in.

Heidi Overton had a hearing today.

Chris Klomp, who is already really a major part of HHS, is now going to get an even more official role if he's confirmed by the Senate, which seems likely.
