Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos

The Heritage Foundation’s Kevin Roberts said that everyone in the next administration must ‘compile a list of everything thatā€™s ever been proposed at the World Economic Forum’ and object to ‘all of them, wholesale.’

The president of the conservative Heritage Foundation in said in his appearance at Davos that the next Republican administration needs to reject ā€œeverything thatā€™s ever been proposed at the World Economic Forum.ā€

Kevin Roberts, head of the Heritage Foundation, the leading conservative think tank in the U.S., said during aĀ panel discussionĀ called ā€œWhat to Expect from a Possible Republican Administration?ā€ that ā€œthe kind of person who will come into the next conservative administration is going to be governed by one principle and that is destroying the grasp that political elites and unelected technocrats have over the average person.ā€

ā€œAnd if I may, I will be candid and say that the agenda that every single member of the administration needs to have is to compile a list of everything thatā€™s ever been proposed at the World Economic Forum and object [to] all of them, wholesale.ā€

ā€œAnyone not prepared to do that and take away this power of the unelected bureaucrats and give it back to the American people in unprepared to be part of the next conservative administration.ā€

Trump admin will ā€˜trust the scienceā€™ and reject push of gender ideology

Roberts said that the idea that the WEF is defending ā€œliberal democracyā€ and the suggestion that Trump would be a ā€œdictatorā€ are both ā€œlaughable.ā€

ā€œWhoever is the next conservative president is going to take on the power of the elites,ā€ he declared.

ā€œPolitical elites tell the average people on three or four or five issues, that the reality is X, when in fact reality is Y.ā€

Roberts went on to list five things as examples that President Trump will take on if he is elected:

ā€œTake immigration: elites tell us that open borders and even illegal immigration are okay, the average person tells us in the United States that both rob them of the American way of life.ā€

ā€œThirdly, I guess the favorite at the World Economic Forum, is climate change. Elites tell us that we have this existential crisis with so-called ā€˜climate change,ā€™ so much so that climate alarmism is probably the greatest cause for [the] mental health crisis in the world. The solutions, the average person knows, based on climate change are far worse and more harmful and cost more human lives, especially in Europe during the time that you need heating, than to the problems themselves.ā€

ā€œThe fourth: China. The number one adversary not just to the United States but to free people on planet Earth. Not only do we at Davos not say that, we give the Chinese Communist Party a platform. Count on President Trump ending that nonsense.ā€

ā€œAnd fifth, another supernational organization, the World Health Organization, is discussing foisting gender ideology upon [the] Global South. These are practices that are under review if not being rejected, by countries in Northern Europe.ā€,

ā€œThe new president, especially if it is President Trump, will, as you like to say, ā€˜trust the science.ā€™ He will understand the basic biological reality of manhood and womanhood.ā€

ā€œI think President Trump, if in fact he wins a second term, is going to be inspired by the wise words of Javier Milei, who said that he was in power not to guide sheep but to awaken lions,ā€ Roberts concluded.

Roberts: ā€˜Iā€™ll probably never be invited backā€™ to the WEF

In a video published on his X account shortly before his appearance in Davos, Roberts said that ā€œfor too long, the self-appointed globalist elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland have lorded over you and me.ā€

ā€œAnd youā€™ll never guess, the president of the Heritage Foundation was invited this year to go, and against my preference, Iā€™m going, on your behalf, to read those people the riot act.ā€

ā€œTheir time of lording over us has come to an end, whether itā€™s COVID lockdowns, riding over there in their beautiful fancy private jets while lecturing us at the same time, sometimes while on the plane, that climate change is an existential threat.ā€

ā€œIā€™m going to talk about all of it. Iā€™ll probably never be invited back, but considering I never wanted to go in the first place, I look forward to it.ā€

ā€˜Time To Make The Patient Betterā€™: JD Vance Says ā€˜Big Transitionā€™ Coming To American Economic Policy

Published on

JD Vance on “Rob Schmitt Tonight” discussing tariff results

 

From theĀ Daily Caller News Foundation

By Hailey Gomez

Vice President JD Vance said Thursday on Newsmax that he believes Americans will ā€œreap the benefitsā€ of the economy as the Trump administration makes a ā€œbig transitionā€ on tariffs.

The Dow Jones Industrial AverageĀ droppedĀ 1,679.39 points on Thursday, just a day after President Donald Trump announcedĀ reciprocal tariffsĀ against nations charging imports from the U.S. On ā€œRob Schmitt Tonight,ā€ Schmitt asked Vance about the stock market hit, asking how the White House felt about the ā€œLiberation Dayā€ move.

ā€œWeā€™re feeling good. Look, I frankly thought in some ways it could be worse in the markets, because this is a big transition. You saw what the President said earlier today. Itā€™s like a patient who was very sick,ā€ Vance said. ā€œWe did the operation, and now itā€™s time to make the patient better. Thatā€™s exactly what weā€™re doing. We have to remember that for 40 years, weā€™ve been doing this for 40 years.ā€

ā€œAmerican economic policy has rewarded people who ship jobs overseas. Itā€™s taxed our workers. Itā€™s made our supply chains more brittle, and itā€™s made our country less prosperous, less free and less secure,ā€ Vance added.

Vance recalled that one of his children had been sick and needed antibiotics that were not made in the United States. The Vice President called it a ā€œridiculous thingā€ that some medicines invented in the country are no longer manufactured domestically.

ā€œThatā€™s fundamentally what this is about. The national security of manufacturing and making the things that we need, from steel to pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, and so forth, but also the good jobs that come along when you have economic policies that reward investing in America, rather than investing in foreign countries,ā€ Vance said.

WATCH:

With a baseline 10% tariffĀ placedĀ on an estimated 60 countries, higher tariffs were applied to nations like China and Israel. For example, China, which has a 67% tariff on U.S. goods, will now face a 34%Ā tariffĀ from the U.S., while Israel, which has a 33% tariff, will face a 17% U.S. tariff.

ā€œOne bad day in the stock market, compared to what President Trump said earlier today, and I think heā€™s right about this. Weā€™re going to have a booming stock market for a long time because weā€™re reinvesting in the United States of America. More importantly than that, of course, the people in Wall Street have done well,ā€ Vance said.

ā€œWe want them to do well. But we care the most about American workers and about American small businesses, and theyā€™re the ones who are really going to benefit from these policies,ā€ Vance said.

The number of factories in the U.S., Vance said, has declined, adding that ā€œmillions of workersā€ have lost their jobs.

ā€œMy town [Middletown, Ohio], where you had 10,000 great American steel workers, and my town was one of the lucky ones, now probably has 1,500 steel workers in that factory because you had economic policies that rewarded shipping our jobs to China instead of investing in American workers,ā€ Vance said. ā€œPresident Trump ran on changing it. He promised he would change it, and now he has. I think Americans are going to reap the benefits.ā€

Trumpā€™s new NIH head fires top Fauci allies and COVID shot promoters, including Fauciā€™s wife

Published on

By Doug Mainwaring

ā€œDuring the pandemic Fauciā€™s bioethicist wife, Christine Grady, offered nurses a choice: Get vaccinated, or lose your job,ā€ noted The COVID-19 History Project on X. ā€œYesterday, she was offered a choice: Transfer to an office in Alaska, or lose your job. Whatā€™s fair is fair. Everyone deserves a choice,ā€ explained the COVID watchdog account.

On day one of his new job as head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Dr. Jay Bhattacharya removed four powerful agency heads, including Dr. Anthony Fauciā€™s wife, Christine Grady, and others associated with the questionable handling of the COVID-19 shots.

Grady, who had served as chief of the agencyā€™s Department of Bioethics, and other longtime Fauci allies in top posts at the NIH involved in the development and distribution of the untested COVID shots produced by Big Pharma were offered jobs in Alaska and other remote locales far away from the NIHā€™s sprawling Bethesda, Maryland, complex just outside Washington, D.C.

The purge came amid massive layoffs in health-related agencies under the umbrella of Health and Human Services (HHS), now headed by the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movementā€™s founder, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has long questioned vaccine safety and American medicineā€™s focus on treating disease rather than preventing it.

A total of about 20,000 personnel ā€“ mostly bureaucrats ā€“ or about 25 percent of the HHS workforce have been or will be handed pink slips amid Kennedyā€™s realignment of the agency.

MAHA critics were quick to call Tuesdayā€™s axing of Fauci confederates as ā€œone of the darkest days in modern scientific historyā€ fueled by Kennedyā€™s desire to exact revenge on Fauciā€™s former trusted associates who represent the antithesis of the MAHA movement.

However, the revamping of the federal governmentā€™s side of the health industry is no more harsh than the treatment meted out by those formerly in control who, at best, suppressed, and worst, punished those who questioned their iron grip on health-industry regulations and standards.

For years, Kennedyā€™s critics have dismissed his quest to revamp healthcare and his questioning of the efficacy of the COVID-19 mRNA jabs as anti-science, labeling him as an ā€œanti-vaxxerā€ in order to suppress his messaging.

Dr. Francis Collins ā€“ whom Bhattacharya replaced as head of NIH ā€“ in an October 2020 email to Fauci condemned Bhattacharya as a ā€œfringe epidemiologistā€ because he had co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration, which criticized harmful COVID lockdown policies.

ā€œDuring the pandemic Fauciā€™s bioethicist wife, Christine Grady, offered nurses a choice: Get vaccinated, or lose your job,ā€ noted The COVID-19 History Project on X.

ā€œYesterday, she was offered a choice: Transfer to an office in Alaska, or lose your job. Whatā€™s fair is fair. Everyone deserves a choice,ā€ explained the COVID watchdog account.

ā€œWe spend 4X more than Italy on healthcare ā€” and live 7 years less. Dead last in cancer rates. This isnā€™t science ā€” itā€™s a system profiting off sick kids,ā€ explained Calley Means, RFK Jr. HHS advisor during an interview with Laura Ingraham following the NIH firings.

ā€œFiring the people who oversaw this? Thatā€™s step one,ā€ declared Means.

Other NIH officials who were offered reassignments were Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo, who succeeded Fauci as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Clifford Lane, a close Fauci ally who served as deputy director for clinical research at NIAID, and Dr. Emily Erbelding, NIAIDā€™s microbiology and infectious diseases director.
