On an extended version of Jose Diaz-Balart Reports on MSNBC, the eponymous host welcomed Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra and demanded to know not once, not twice, but three times, what the administration is doing to protect abortion.
Diaz-Balart’s abortion promotion began with the softest of softballs, “Secretary, give us more information about the steps that the federal government is taking now.”
The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
Becerra began by blasting the “despicable” Dobbs ruling, but tried to assuage MSNBC’s fears, “[ Dobbs ] just makes it much more difficult in certain places and what we’re going to do is make sure we use every leverage and authority we have to try to help every woman in America access the health care, including abortion care that they might need.”
Perhaps unsatisfied with the lack of specifics, Diaz-Balart asked for a second time, “Now, you know, even with the steps you laid out yesterday, you said we’re keeping every option on the table. What other steps are you looking at possibly taking that you have not already announced.”
This time Becerra acknowledged the existence of birth control, but also “Medication abortion, still available in many different ways. It might be more difficult for some women, but medication abortion is there.”
Becerra proceeded to almost repeated the “HHS unveils plan to protect women’s reproductive rights,” chyron verbatim when he added “we will explore everything we can do and working with Department of Justice, we’ll make sure we’re trying to protect the rights of women to access reproductive health care services.”
For Diaz-Balart, this only raised more questions. For a third time he asked what the government would do promote abortions, “Secretary, I want to, kind of, hone in on what […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
