Bobby Kennedy is in the hot seat, and we defend him. Today on the Charlie Kirk Show, Charlie and David Mansorfer, former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health and Human Services, make the case as to why Bobby Kennedy should become the next President of the United States.
00:00:28.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:19.000On this program, we're very much behind Bobby Kennedy becoming HHS Secretary.
00:01:24.000David, make the case as to why you believe Bobby Kennedy should be installed as such.
00:01:28.000I think that Bobby Kennedy has the chance to challenge all of the preconceived notions around public health.
00:01:36.000As we've seen during COVID and coming beyond COVID that we just saw such a draconian use of public health in the United States.
00:01:46.000And with this nomination, which really brings together a unique movement around health in America, we're really at a flashpoint to make sure that we can I think the
00:02:27.000Bobby Kennedy has been a lifelong public health advocate.
00:02:32.000He's been a lifelong advocate for moms and against environmental toxins.
00:02:39.000What is it especially, who is against him most forcefully and why?
00:02:45.000Well, I think the pharmaceutical companies to start, as you've seen with Vice President Pence's kind of fake outrage campaign, which is being funded by pharma, you have a lot of money in healthcare and you have a lot of money in special interest groups that are deeply embedded in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that do not want to see their money troughs being taken away from each other.
00:03:11.000And so I think you're going to see the activist association groups come out heavily against him, like the American Medical Association.
00:03:19.000You're going to see pharma come out against him.
00:03:22.000And you're going to see a lot of the big money players that don't want people to know where the money is, and they're going to feed it through groups and organizations like Mike Pence's group that is coming out and creating all this fake outrage.
00:03:36.000Yeah, I mean, look, a healthy population is the kiss of death for big pharma.
00:03:40.000Talk about how if we actually get to root causes, if we get down to the root issue, then we don't need Ozembic for obesity for kids.
00:03:51.000We don't need these other interventions down the road.
00:03:55.000Yeah, I think one of the first things that a Secretary Kennedy, if confirmed, will look at is the things like the dietary guidelines.
00:04:02.000Which go deeply into how we do school lunch programs here in the United States, which is a big indicator of health.
00:04:10.000As we've seen, there is an obesity crisis in the United States.
00:04:15.000There is a military readiness crisis because the lack of folks that can enter the military based on physical fitness.
00:04:22.000And I think a Secretary Kennedy and the incoming Trump administration will do wonders for chronic disease and prevention where historically it's wholly underfunded.
00:04:34.000Typically, we only fund the disease at the end when you're having to deal with it, not when we are trying to prevent it to begin with.
00:04:42.000So the chances of his nomination hinge on a couple of Republican senators who I don't think they've really experienced the energy of Maha before.
00:04:52.000Let's go through some of Bobby Kennedy's opening remarks here.
00:04:58.000My journey into the issue of health began with my career as an environmental attorney, working with hunters and fishermen and mothers in a small town in the Hudson Valley and along the Hudson River.
00:05:12.000I learned very early on that human health and environmental Let's continue to cut 134. Cancer
00:05:43.000among young people is rising by 1 or 2% a year.
00:05:47.000Autoimmune diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, Alzheimer's, asthma, ADHD, depression, addiction, and a host of other physical and mental health conditions are all on the rise, some of them exponentially.
00:06:04.000And finally, let's go to this one here, Playcut 135.
00:06:07.000The United States has worse health than any other developed nation.
00:06:12.000We spend more on health care, at least double and in some cases triple as other countries.
00:06:18.000Last year, we spent $4.8 trillion, not counting the indirect costs of missed work.
00:06:25.000What is your reaction to this opening statement of Bobby Kennedy?
00:06:30.000The idea of environmental toxins and how they are polluting both the planet and not just the planet, but the conditions of the people of America.
00:06:42.000Well, what's interesting is that he's speaking directly to Democrats with that conversation.
00:06:48.000And public health, those are topics considered under social determinants of health, which are long-held parts of the Democratic platform around public health.
00:06:57.000And so I would think those types of conversations are basically a reach across the aisle that says, hey, we've worked together on issues like this before, and they've not traditionally been some of the Republican issues in how we've approached public health.
00:07:12.000So with that, why are you against me now when you've been working with me on all of these topics before?
00:07:20.000I think it's a reach across the aisle, but it's also to point out the disingenuous nature of this hearing, which will turn into multiple attacks on a variety of public health issues, when I think in many ways RFK is probably the best secretary that the Democrats could ever hope for.
00:07:44.000For a long time, the nation has been locked in a divisive health care debate about who pays.
00:07:50.000When health care costs reach 20%, there are no good options, only bad ones.
00:07:58.000Shifting the burden around between government and corporations and insurers and providers and families is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
00:08:08.000Our country will sink beneath a sea of desperation and debt if we don't change the course and ask why are healthcare costs so high in the first place?
00:08:30.000With that, I think the United States needs a Secretary of Health that's willing to challenge everything.
00:08:38.000From the traditional conceived notions of public health to how industry has gotten its hands over the economics of health in the United States.
00:08:48.000I look forward to the many great things that President Trump and Secretary Kennedy will do when confirmed.
00:09:50.000And for any Republican senator out there.
00:09:53.000If you vote against Bobby Kennedy, there will be primaries.
00:09:56.000There is a force behind Bobby Kennedy likes of which you have never experienced before.
00:10:01.000We're talking about moms that were former Democrats.
00:10:04.000There are millions of people behind this, so vote for him, or else you may not be a senator any longer.
00:10:11.000While we may have won this election, the fight to restore our great nation is only beginning.
00:10:16.000Now is the time to take a stand, and Patriot Mobile is leading the charge.
00:10:20.000As America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, Patriot Mobile offers a way to vote with your wallet without compromising on quality or convenience.
00:10:29.000Patriot Mobile isn't just about providing exceptional cell phone service.
00:10:32.000It's a call to action to defend our rights and freedoms with Patriot Mobile.
00:10:36.000You'll get outstanding nationwide coverage because they operate on all three major networks.
00:10:40.000If you have a cell phone service today, you can get a cell phone service with Patriot Mobile with a coverage guarantee.
00:10:45.000But the difference is every dollar you spend supports the first and second amendments, sanctity of life, our veterans and first responders.
00:11:22.000Do you think our public health authorities won our trust during COVID? Bobby Kennedy authored one of the sharpest critiques out there of Anthony Fauci.
00:11:37.000Bobby Kennedy was right all along during the COVID debacle.
00:11:42.000We never should have locked down, as we said on this program.
00:11:45.000The vaccine was a joke and a disaster.
00:11:51.000We never should have suppressed early treatments.
00:11:54.000And because of all of that, look at the sequencing.
00:11:57.000We got lockdowns, which resulted in an even further diseased population.
00:12:02.000We then got mail-in ballots, and they displaced Trump from power.
00:12:06.000Now, I actually believe that God works all things out for good for those who love him, Romans 8.28, that us being displaced from power actually ended up being a very positive thing.
00:12:20.000Bobby Kennedy never would be close to becoming the Health and Human Services Secretary.
00:12:26.000Would never even get close if President Trump would not have been displaced from power.
00:12:38.000A serious investment into the grassroots to help form the Uniparty.
00:12:42.000To help form this grassroots movement of moms and health-focused advocates and activists.
00:12:50.000And I'm very happy to say we were part of history at Turning Point.
00:12:54.000Donald Trump endorsing or receiving the endorsement of Bobby Kennedy.
00:12:58.000Bobby Kennedy endorsing Donald Trump happened at our Turning Point event in Glendale, Arizona.
00:13:06.000Bobby Kennedy says clearly here in his hearing, worth repeating, PlayCut138, he is not anti-vax, but in his advocacy, he's asked the uncomfortable questions.
00:14:09.000Do we really need to inoculate against chickenpox?
00:14:13.000The schedule has ramped up so dramatically since 1991. And if you even dare to say that, yes, there very well might be side effects, which, by the way, the labels themselves say.
00:14:26.000Every doctor will quietly say, of course there are side effects, potentially.
00:14:29.000But we can't say that, or else you're called anti-vaccine.
00:14:32.000It is a modern secular religion believing that vaccines are completely unchallengeable.
00:14:41.000And do you know that vaccines are one of the few things that we have where if something goes wrong, you're not able to sue the manufacturer?
00:14:49.000So if a car explodes and kills your kid...
00:14:53.000You should be able to sue the car manufacturer to make sure the car is safe for a future user and be able to get damages.
00:15:00.000If a vaccine gives your kid some sort of neurodivergent neurological disorder, potentially, you go to the vaccine adverse event reporting system, VAERS, and good luck.
00:15:13.000The entire incentive structure right now is trying to keep people permanently sick.
00:15:25.000Where they are annuities for big pharma.
00:15:27.000We have an obesity problem with our kids.
00:15:30.000Half of our children by age 15 are overweight or obese.
00:15:34.000Only 3% of Japanese kids are overweight or obese.
00:15:37.000That comes to diet, that goes to movement, that goes to parenting and all sorts of things.
00:15:41.000But our public health officials need to advocate for a health Cautious, focused agenda.
00:15:54.000And this becomes a national security threat, becomes a national morale threat.
00:15:59.000Kids are more likely to commit suicide, more likely to get on psychoactive drugs, more likely to be addicted to alcohol, less likely to be vibrant and active members of their community and society.
00:16:12.000Make America healthy again is an admirable cause.
00:16:24.000There's a lot of excitement in Washington, D.C. as we start the year, but I wanted to talk to you about something just as exciting happening outside the D.C. Beltway, a revolution in the States.
00:16:36.000It's growing and growing because some states, as they should, are putting parents in charge of the education of their kids.
00:16:43.000Everyone knows education has the power to change a kid's life, and anyone who raised a child knows each has different needs, learning styles, and God-given talents.
00:16:53.000The fact is, parents know their own children best, knows what's best for their development and future.
00:16:59.000Education freedom legislation puts parents, not zip codes, and politicians in charge of these important family decisions.
00:17:07.000It's why I strongly support making universal education freedom a reality for every parent in every state.

00:17:24.000Bobby Kennedy continues in front of the Senate.
00:17:28.000It's going to be quite interesting to see how Republican senators end up voting for him or with him.
00:17:35.000Let's continue on some of the tape here from Bobby Kennedy's hearing.
00:17:38.000Let's go to cut 139. All of these things cannot be true.
00:17:44.000So, are you lying to Congress today when you say you are pro-vaccine?
00:19:28.000And again, I'm not that interested in the topic, except for the fact that why is it that it's the one thing that you require everybody in the population to have, and obviously there are side effects for some people, not for all people, not even for a lot of people, but a small amount of people.
00:19:46.000Why is it that we can't ask questions about making them safer?
00:19:57.000This is in the room where they are writing the articles about and against Bobby Kennedy, where the journalists already have their headlines written.
00:20:08.000They have the headlines written against Bobby Kennedy before he even uttered a line.
00:20:24.000Before anybody said anything, they have their headlines already written.
00:20:29.000We've always suspected this is the case, but we've actually never seen the smoking gun where journalists just write the headline first and then they fill in the rest.
00:22:46.000And by the way, the left always likes to make it seem as if they're the small guy fighting up against the system, that they're fighting against the establishment.
00:22:54.000Bobby Kennedy is picking the largest and biggest possible fight, which is against entrenched pharmaceutical companies.
00:23:21.000The healthier America becomes, the less money they could potentially make.
00:23:27.000If we no longer have the belief system that you need a pill for every ill, then what's going to happen to Pfizer's stock?
00:23:37.000The old joke goes, I've been on antidepressants for 20 years.
00:23:42.000When are they going to start kicking in?
00:23:45.000At what point do we ask the question that maybe this medication that these doctors are unnecessarily feeding us, a vast majority of it is completely unnecessary?
00:23:56.000Where there might be naturopathic and alternative means.
00:24:00.000The CEOs of these big pharma companies have fiduciary responsibilities to their stockholders to earn profits.
00:24:07.000Their mission is not to help to make Americans healthy.
00:24:10.000Their goal is to print and make money.
00:24:13.000So when Bobby Kennedy says make America healthy, right now at Pfizer, they want you sick.
00:24:18.000And to be perfectly honest, I have yet to see a free market zealot.
00:24:24.000I would love to be able to grill a libertarian or Milton Friedman if he was alive on this topic.
00:25:23.000Because they know what Bobby Kennedy represents.
00:25:25.000There's trillions of dollars of industry that want to stop Bobby Kennedy.
00:25:30.000Because God forbid your four-year-old stops eating high-fructose corn syrup.
00:25:38.000And doesn't get every single vaccine, every single one, and goes outside a little bit more and starts supplementing with vitamin D. No, that is a threat to what they want.
00:25:49.000A sick and diseased population is one that is easier to control.
00:25:52.000A sick and diseased population is one that is more malleable.
00:25:56.000One that is in the palm of their hands.
00:25:58.000A sick and diseased population is one that makes them infinitely more profitable.
00:26:07.000When we are talking about a restoration of a free society, it takes healthy citizens for us to get to that free society.
00:26:14.000To get back to the promise of our founders, we've said for a while strong alpha men are a threat to tyranny, but overweight men with beer bellies are not a threat to anybody.
00:26:26.000We know that the testosterone rates in the West are plummeting.
00:26:30.000Infertility is a major and massive issue.
00:26:34.000They are not going easy on Bobby Kennedy at all.
00:26:37.000Let's play cut 146 so we can get a little taste.
00:26:45.000I didn't say it was deliberately targeted.
00:26:54.000I just quoted an NIH-funded, an NIH... A published study.
00:27:02.000Did you say that it targets black and white people but spared Ashkenazi Jesus?
00:27:33.000This audience will not put up with anybody voting against you in the Republican Party.
00:27:40.000Are you tired of scrolling through shows on TV and finding nothing but the same mind-numbing content?
00:27:45.000Don't waste your time on that nonsense instead.
00:27:47.000Use that time to learn something new and inspiring.

00:28:36.000I would love to have somebody come on the program and tell me the case for if they think America is healthy.
00:28:46.000Forget all the particulars on Bobby Kennedy.
00:28:49.000I'm not going to win you over on that.
00:28:51.000But do you really think the state of...
00:28:55.000Do you think American public health is in a good position?
00:29:00.000Do you think the state of American public health is strong?
00:29:40.000Bobby Kennedy continues in his testimony here.
00:29:42.000Let's play cut 148. Let me just reassure you that President Trump has personally spoken to me.
00:29:51.000About locating those 300,000 children who disappeared over the last four years.
00:29:56.000I don't think anybody has a fully accurate number, but it's hundreds of thousands, I agree.
00:30:00.000And many of them we know have been sex traffic and childhood slavery, and it is a blight on America's moral authority, and we need to find those kids.
00:30:12.000We need healthy youth for our military.
00:30:14.000We need healthy youth for our country, for the vitality of our nation.
00:30:18.000We are in a circumstance right now where the major ag companies, the major pharmaceutical companies want you overweight.
00:33:31.000They're people that take exercise seriously.
00:33:33.000They take sunlight exposure seriously.
00:33:36.000And some of the most unhappy people and slovenly people are people that don't take that stuff seriously.
00:33:42.000But more than all of that, we need medical institutions and we need institutions in general that promote the public health, not public misery, not public obesity.
00:33:54.000We should trust our medical institutions.
