Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined The Katie Miller Podcast and discussed President Trump’s health. In one clip, RFK Jr. commented that Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz looked at Trump’s medical records and said he had the “highest testosterone level” that he’s ever seen for an individual over 70 years old. RFK Jr. said Trump has “incredible health.” Check it out: Bobby Kennedy on President Trump’s health: “He's got a he's incredible health. @DrOz looked at his medical records and said he's got the HIGHEST testosterone level that he's ever seen for an individual over 70 years old. I know the President will be happy that I'll repeat… pic.twitter.com/GRqr4Xlz8v — Katie Miller (@KatieMiller) January 14, 2026 The health secretary also talked about Trump’s “unhinged” dietary habits. Newsweek explained: Responding to a question from podcaster Katie Miller about who has “the most unhinged eating habits,” Kennedy Jr. named Trump, adding: “I don’t know how he’s alive.” “The interesting thing about the president is that he eats really bad food, which is McDonald’s and then you know KFC and Diet Coke, but he has the constitution of a deity, I don’t know how he’s alive, but he is,” Kennedy Jr. said on The Katie Miller Podcast in an episode released on Tuesday. But Kennedy Jr. also went on to say that Trump only has these eating habits when is “on the road.” He added that the president “does actually eat pretty good food usually” and that “he’s got incredible health.” Footage below: Katie Miller: "Who has the most unhinged eating habits?"

In a memo, his physician, Sean Barbabella, said that Trump’s cardiovascular system was in excellent condition, his abdominal imaging normal, and “all major organs appear very healthy and well-perfused.” The scan was conducted amid concerns about Trump’s health; he is set to turn 80 in June and is the oldest person ever sworn in as US president. The White House also addressed visible bruising on Trump’s right hand, attributing it to aspirin use as part of a standard heart-health regimen.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the appointment of two new members to the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). RFK Jr. added two obstetrician-gynecologists (OB-GYNs) to the vaccine advisory panel. HHS provided a bio of the two new members: “Adam Urato, M.D., Obstetrician and Gynecologist specializing in Maternal-Fetal Medicine. Dr. Urato has held academic appointments at Harvard Medical School, the University of South Florida, and Tufts University School of Medicine. His clinical roles have included Maternal-Fetal Medicine attending positions at MetroWest Medical Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston Medical Center/St. Elizabeth’s, and Tufts Medical Center. Dr. Urato received his B.A. from Harvard College and his M.D. from Harvard Medical School. He has also published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and participated in FDA advisory panels. “Kimberly Biss, M.D., Obstetrician and Gynecologist in St. Petersburg, Florida. Dr. Biss has held multiple hospital leadership positions at Bayfront Health/Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital, including Chief of Staff, Chairman of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Medical Executive Board Officer. She is board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and maintains membership in several professional medical associations. Dr. Biss received her M.D. from Tufts University School of Medicine. Her experience includes clinical education roles and publication on COVID-19 vaccine safety for pregnant women.” “Two OB-GYNs have been appointed to CDC’s vaccine advisory committee. For the first time in years, pregnancy, maternal safety, and real clinical experience are being centered in vaccine policy decisions. This is what transparency looks like,” Children’s Health Defense commented. BREAKING: Two OB-GYNs have been appointed to CDC’s vaccine advisory committee.

Our new ACIP members have the clinical expertise to make decisions driven by evidence, not dogma.” The panel, formally known as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), advises the CDC director and the HHS secretary on vaccine use and the nation’s immunization schedule. In June, Kennedy fired all existing members of the vaccine panel, saying the move was necessary to restore public trust and reduce conflicts of interest. The committee was later reconstituted with new appointees aligned with his views on vaccine safety, transparency and scientific rigor. One of the new appointees, Urato, has previously criticized CDC COVID-19 vaccine guidance for pregnant women, arguing that safety assurances were issued before sufficient data was available. Supporters say his appointment brings needed scrutiny to federal health guidance, while critics warn it could undermine confidence in vaccines. The reconstituted panel has since revisited several longstanding recommendations, including guidance traditionally supported by mainstream public health officials. Those changes culminated earlier this year in a major revision of the CDC’s childhood immunization schedule. The agency reduced the number of recommended routine immunizations for all children. CDC Announces MAJOR Change In Recommended Childhood Vaccine Schedule “ACIP serves as Americans’ watchdog for vaccine safety and transparency,” RFK Jr. said. “Dr. Urato and Dr. Biss bring the scientific credentials, clinical experience, and integrity this committee requires," he added.

Kennedy Jr. expanded a key federal vaccine advisory panel to include more critics of vaccines who have contradicted mainstream medical guidance, including one who has described herself as an “anti-vaxxer.” https://t.co/vhX42AQaJM — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) January 13, 2026 NBC News shared further: Biss has been a vocal skeptic of Covid vaccines. In 2023, she told the GOP-led House subcommittee on Covid vaccines that some patients in her practice had faced irregularities with their menstrual cycles after receiving the shots that were so severe she’d had to perform surgeries and hysterectomies. Biss also testified that the miscarriage rate at her practice went up each year from 2020 to 2022 and suggested the vaccines might have been responsible for some women entering early menopause. Pediatrician and former ACIP member Paul Offit blasted Biss’ testimony in a post on Substack at the time, pushing back on her claims about Covid vaccine safety risks and her suggestion that breastfeeding was unsafe for women who have been vaccinated. “Perhaps most outrageous was Biss’s stance on vaccinating children,” Offit wrote, referring to her claim that the death rate among children was low enough that vaccines weren’t needed. Biss falsely claimed that only 3 in 1 million children die from Covid, when the actual rate at the time was 10 in 1 million. Covid shots have also been demonstrated to reduce the severity of illness and lower the risk of hospitalization. During a panel discussion last October on PBS’s Kentucky Educational Television, Biss advocated against what she characterized as an “instant rejection” of alternative medical ideas, like the questioning of vaccine safety and the Trump administration’s advice that pregnant women avoid taking Tylenol because of potential links to autism. (The bulk of scientific evidence suggests moderate Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy and does not show a link to autism.) “I just think we need to be able to question these things and not be called a quack,” she said at the time. Urato, meanwhile, has also questioned the safety of vaccines administered during pregnancy — including for flu, RSV and Covid — as well as the use of antidepressants among pregnant women. He has petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to add a warning to a class of antidepressants known as serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, stating that they cause pregnancy complications and alter fetal brain development.

Turning Point Action, the political advocacy arm of Turning Point USA, has endorsed Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) in the Florida gubernatorial election. The endorsement gives Donalds another boost heading into the GOP primary. The Florida Republican already has President Trump’s endorsement. “I’m honored to announce I’ve earned the endorsement of @TPAction_,” Donalds said. “Charlie Kirk’s legacy lives on through this incredible organization, and I’m grateful to have their support in my campaign for Governor of Florida. Together, we will take the Sunshine State to the NEXT LEVEL,” he continued. I’m honored to announce I’ve earned the endorsement of @TPAction_.

Ron DeSantis. Kirk endorsed Donalds weeks later, saying, “We’re behind you 100%,” in a podcast interview with the lawmaker. Donalds has outraised other declared Republican candidates by a wide margin, raising more than $40 million, underscoring his early dominance in fundraising. Recent polling shows Donalds holding a commanding lead in the GOP primary. In a survey of likely Republican primary voters conducted in early January, Donalds led all tested ballot matchups, drawing roughly 47% support to just 5% for Azoria CEO James Fishback and 4% for former Florida House Speaker Paul Renner. The GOP primary got another contender this week as Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins announced his candidacy. DeSantis Ally Launches Bid For Florida Governor “I’m running for Governor because leadership is forged under pressure, not in soundbites. I served over 23 years in the United States military, mainly as a Green Beret, where accountability is real, decisions have consequences, and service comes before self,” Collins said. “That experience shaped how I lead and why I believe public office is a public trust,” he added.

The organization is also known for mobilizing conservative voters, particularly younger Republicans, and has played an active role in primary contests nationwide. The endorsement also reflects Donalds’ emphasis on issues such as school choice, parental rights and economic conservatism, priorities long championed by both Trump and Kirk. The Republican primary is scheduled for Aug. 18, 2026, with the general election on Nov. 3, 2026.

Stephen A. Smith mistakenly referred to Houston Texans’ star wide receiver Christian Kirk as Charlie Kirk during a segment on ESPN’s First Take. Smith was discussing the Texans’ dominant victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL playoffs. “We saw Charlie Kirk catch 8 receptions for 144 yards,” Smith said. He immediately backpedaled after he misspoke. “I’m sorry. Christian. I apologize. I apologize. Oh my God. Christian Kirk,” he said. Check it out: "We saw Charlie Kirk catch 8 receptions for 144 yards…I apologize. Oh my God. Christian Kirk" – Stephen A. Smith pic.twitter.com/PPQXMjXFEr — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) January 13, 2026 TMZ noted: Clearly, Smith meant no harm by what he said — the guy spends hours and hours talking each week, and mistakes happen. Of course, Charlie, who was tragically assassinated in September, was one of the most talked-about people in the country last year, so it’s no surprise his name would be on Stephen A.’s mind. As for the Kirk he intended to talk about, Christian had a h*** of a great game, catching 8 balls for 144 yards, including multiple jaw-dropping big plays in the Texans’ 30-6 rout of the Steelers. One social media user wasted no time in creating a Charlie Kirk highlight tape after the blunder.

Intermingled,’ claimed one social media user, seemingly blaming Smith’s recent ramped-up interest in politics and his hints at running for office.

Actor Kiefer Sutherland was arrested on Monday for an alleged physical assault of a rideshare driver in Los Angeles. Sutherland, 59, was arrested at Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Hollywood after police officers responded to a call reporting an assault shortly after midnight. He was released later that day on $50,000 bond. “The investigation determined that the suspect, later identified as Kiefer Sutherland, entered a rideshare vehicle, physically assaulted the driver (the victim), and made criminal threats toward the victim,” Los Angeles Police Officer Kevin Terzes said, according to NBC News. His first court appearance is scheduled for February 2nd.
