00:01:44.000I don't know how many people know how much you really helped us with this lift, with the Maha movement, right when...
00:01:52.000Robert Kennedy Jr. joined President Trump.
00:01:55.000Of course, I was director of communications with Bobby.
00:01:58.000I jumped out to start a super PAC right away so that we could start running ads and things to try and get the Kennedy voters over to President Trump.
00:02:07.000And look, the DNC was playing all sorts of games.
00:02:10.000After we had gotten on 50 state ballots, which was a Herculean task of signature gathering and everything else, you know, the DNC was trying to like bringing lawsuits to get us knocked off the ballot.
00:02:23.000Then when Robert Kennedy Jr. joined President Trump, suddenly they started having lawsuits to keep us on the ballot, to keep Kennedy on the ballot because they knew that would divide the vote.
00:02:33.000So it was a really wild moment where after supporting Bobby for the last two and a half years of my life, I then had to try to work to run ads and get on stages to convince those voters that were behind Robert Kennedy Jr. to go over and vote for President Trump.
00:02:50.000And you and Turning Point were such a major part of helping us do that.
00:02:58.000And you had an audience we hadn't met, right?
00:03:01.000You had that conservative audience that were wondering who is Robert Kennedy Jr. And so when you came in and really joined forces with us, with Maha, we just delivered numbers that nobody saw coming, you know?
00:03:14.000And the big question, right, Charlie, is how much did we affect the vote?
00:03:18.000I don't ever want to take away from President Trump what he achieved.
00:04:08.000I know there was a lot of back and forth, but I believe he made the right choice and he made the correct decision.
00:04:15.000Del, what does this mean for our kids?
00:04:17.000I mean, I believe this is one of the greatest steps forward, one of the great leap forwards for kids' health to be able to get to the bottom of the chronic disease epidemic, something that you and Bobby especially have now made a household term.
00:04:33.000Five years ago, chronic disease epidemic, people said, what are you talking about?
00:04:37.000I mean, we are now at a place where this is...
00:04:43.000What does this confirmation and Bobby now being an HHS secretary mean for our kids?
00:04:50.000You know, as we were running the presidential campaign for Robert Kennedy, I would say to the audiences, when Bobby steps into that White House, it will be...
00:05:00.000That the people have spoken, meaning that there was no way the entire media was against Robert Kennedy Jr. The pharmaceutical industry, the largest, you know, funder of television and mainstream media as we know it, was against Robert Kennedy Jr. As it turned out, as we ran the race, the entire Democratic Party was against Robert Kennedy Jr. And I would even argue the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, and all of the globalists.
00:05:29.000That are using health as a way to remove sovereignty of American citizens was against Robert Kennedy Jr. Now, of course, he didn't step in as president, but in many ways, it's even more profound that he took the most powerful health position in the world at HHS. There is no higher authority for health in the world.
00:05:50.000Of course, America does most of the science and the studies that determines what the World Health Organization is going to say or even the NHS. The world follows us.
00:06:01.000So what I've been saying to reporters out there that say, well, what can Robert Kennedy Jr. really do?
00:06:07.000I said just a couple weeks ago, you're already seeing it with red dye number three being taken off the shelves and finally the FDA coming out against it.
00:06:16.000Now, does that mean Robert Kennedy Jr. wasn't even in office yet?
00:06:19.000But what it showed is that it's the pressure being brought by the attention of the people that you just pointed out, that Robert Kennedy Jr. represents...
00:06:28.000That this many people, a voting body now, care about health so much, care about their children so much, that our regulatory agencies now know we're watching you.
00:06:38.000So a red dye that was causing cancer and all sorts of learning disabilities is now off the shelves.
00:06:57.000He has said he's going to bring radical transparency to our regulatory agencies.
00:07:02.000We're about to find out what these companies, what the NIH, what the FDA, what the CDC, what do they actually know about the chemicals in our food?
00:07:13.000All we see is an ingredients list on the side of a box, but what do they know about that chemical that we can't even, you know, barely read the word?
00:07:20.000We're going to find out that information.
00:07:22.000It's going to be made public so that Turning Point and The High Wire, my other weekly talk show, and Maha, and the Maha podcast, and all of the thought leaders in health, we're going to start showing the people this is what...
00:08:25.000Followers, you know, the people that watch your show, that watch my show, and so many like us, that pressure, and that is what's going to give that continued mandate for Robert Kennedy Jr. to change how we've been allowing all these chemicals into our air, into our food, into our water.
00:08:42.000It's going to be great for our children, but it's going to be great for us, too.
00:08:46.000So I want to talk about some of the smears against Bobby.
00:08:49.000They call him anti-vaccine, which of course is not true.
00:08:52.000In his book, he says that explicitly at the beginning and the end.
00:08:55.000However, there are real questions we need to ask of why has the schedule gone from seven shots?
00:09:00.000In the mid-1980s, seven vaccines were routinely given to kids between the ages of two for dipheria, tetanus, petrussis, measles, mumps, rubella, and polio.
00:09:29.000You know, our grandparents did not have the same vaccine schedule.
00:09:32.000They got eight to ten vaccines and they were compliant.
00:09:35.000What happened was in 1986, when we took liability away from the manufacturers, basically the drug industry threatened Ronald Reagan and said, we're going to stop making all vaccines unless you protect us from liability.
00:09:51.000There's a lot of rules and laws that were set, all of which were broken.
00:09:54.000We can get into the weeds on that another time, Charlie.
00:09:57.000But imagine you took the pharmaceutical industry, which has some of the biggest lawsuits for lying about injury and death for their drugs.
00:10:05.000I mean, just think of Fen-Pen or even Vioxx or Oxycontin lately, the lies that they put out.
00:10:11.000And then when you finally sue them, you realize they always knew that these products had side effects.
00:10:16.000They always knew it caused heart attacks or they always knew it was addictive.
00:10:20.000We can't get to that information around the vaccine program because it's protected from lawsuit.
00:10:27.000Well, once it's protected from lawsuit, what happened?
00:10:29.000We went from the 10 vaccines, as you described, to this gold rush for the pharmaceutical industry to now, as you pointed out, 80 vaccines and growing.
00:10:37.000And what Robert Kennedy Jr. and I have been saying after deep investigations, not a single vaccine on the childhood schedule ever went through a double-blind placebo trial.
00:10:50.000That is the only way to determine safety, and so they never determine safety.
00:10:54.000This entire program is built on an assumption of safety.
00:10:57.000There's never been a study that shows that it's healthier to take 80 vaccines compared to when we had 10. They've never compared those that get 80 vaccines to those that have none or some.
00:11:08.000These are all the types of studies that need to be done now.
00:11:45.000Doesn't it stand to reason if they could go into the databases that the CDC sits on of 10 million people and compare vaccinated to unvaccinated and just show the world, see, the vaccinated have less cancer.
00:11:59.000They have less ADD, ADHD. They have less multiple sclerosis and childhood cancers and all of these things that have been skyrocketing since this vaccine program went from 10 to 80. Don't you think they would publish that study?
00:12:11.000Don't you think they would do that study if they could prove that that was the case?
00:12:15.000I have to assume that study has been done and they're hiding it from the public.
00:12:19.000Otherwise, they would have ended my career.
00:12:21.000All they had to do is say, see, the vaccinated are healthier.
00:12:25.000And to be clear, Robert Cain's here, I'm not against vaccines.
00:12:29.000I'm just saying, why don't we know what the totality means?
00:12:32.000Maybe we're giving too many all at one time.
00:12:35.000Maybe there's things you're eating when you're getting the vaccine.
00:12:38.000All I know is there's a list of side effects that I put out, and I just did a press conference that's gone viral right after I was in the Oval Office watching Robert Kennedy Jr. swear in.
00:12:48.000But every vaccine comes with an insert with this many tiny written side effects that are really happening to people.
00:14:06.000Dale, do you have any numbers of how significant Bobby Kennedy's endorsement of Donald Trump was in this last election?
00:14:13.000And talk about the power that now, in the most ironic way, a Kennedy is a cabinet secretary in a Republican administration and every Democrat voted against him.
00:14:26.000We're just now starting to do some national polls, so I don't have exact numbers.
00:14:31.000But like I said, I think that when you watch the polling go from what was supposed to be about a 20% gender gap in women down to 7%, I think you see a huge voting block there moving.
00:14:44.000We tended to think that, you know, Bobby had about 10 million votes out there at least.
00:15:14.000And I can tell you, standing in the Oval Office and watching Robert Kennedy Jr. swear in to feel the energy, these two very powerful warriors, the way that they, you know, communicate with each other, there's such mutual respect.
00:15:27.000And I also want to point out that President Trump has been talking about vaccines and autism since he first ran for president the very first time.
00:15:35.000So this is just really a follow-through, and he's saying it every day now.
00:16:28.000But I really want to point out that President Trump took a lot of heat and used a lot of, you know, thank God he's got the political capital, but it wasn't easy, right?
00:16:36.000As you pointed out, I was sitting watching the vote with my brother sitting next to me.
00:16:42.000We grew up progressive liberal Democrats from Boulder, Colorado.
00:16:46.000I mean, I marched against Rocky Flats with my mom, who was a hippie.
00:16:52.000It used to be the crunchy granola hippie moms, you know, that were like, we were having vitamins and eating, you know, macrobiotic food and vegetarians when we were kids.
00:17:02.000All of a sudden, that entire, we were watching as every Democrat was just voting, no, no, every Republican, yes.
00:17:09.000And I turned to my brother and I said, The Democratic Party's just turned on our way of life, which is clean water, clean food, clean air, and now it's the Republican Party just expanded, just grew.
00:17:21.000All of natural health and healthy living is now in the Republican Party, and I'm happy to be a part of it.
00:18:09.000I mean, it's just started, so there's not much there.
00:18:11.000But one of the things I want to do is make a database where you can find all of those health practitioners that don't make drugs your first choice, but maybe a lifestyle shift.
00:18:20.000We need to get into the business of making people healthy.
00:18:44.000All of us, all the thought leaders that have been talking to people, we've got to inspire.
00:18:49.000Maybe we start having groups meet in every city like, you know, Alcoholics Anonymous, but we get together and talk about how we're getting healthy every week, how we're working towards our best life.
00:20:50.000We were kind of thinking back of, like, when you came and spoke at CPAC. I think one of the years, 2018. My goodness, Charlie, you don't age.
00:21:35.000There is this moment where it's going to be celebratory.
00:21:38.000Obviously, we've got such an incredible list of government officials from the White House, cabinet members, Vice President J.D. Vance, who actually will be announcing shortly here, some of the tech titans of folks from the business world,
00:21:54.000including You know, high-level individuals from Bitcoin and AI and also, you know, the everyday Americans, those stories that I think those grassroots activists who I think are so critical in our movement, who are the ones changing their communities.
00:22:09.000And, you know, we're looking forward to having President Trump join us as well.
00:22:14.000Really, I think, got his start at CPAC when he wasn't what you would say, quote unquote, a politician, although I still don't think he's a politician.
00:22:21.000He's just simply just such a strong leader in this MAGA movement, in this American movement that we're seeing.
00:22:28.000So it's going to be his, I believe I'm up to 14 times that the president has spoken at CPAC. That's amazing.
00:23:01.000And so we've got to ensure that the president's vision for America, for keeping and really maintaining a strong and prosperous America, and a strong presence where the globe is looking at us.
00:23:13.000for solutions in solving the major problems.
00:23:17.000We know that we're doing the work that President Trump has set forward and that we're able to get it done, not only at the federal level, but obviously at the state and local level as well.
00:23:28.000So again, big celebration, but we've got to roll up our sleeves.
00:23:33.000There's a lot of work that has to happen.
00:23:35.000And while he's doing it at warp speed, we've got our part to do as well.
00:23:40.000So, Mercy, you were part of the first Trump administration, and contrast, I mean, you guys did phenomenal work, but the pace at which this administration is operating is even quicker than the other one.
00:24:06.000With the White House operations, and I do believe Susie Wiles as chief of staff has been the best pick the president could have made because she basically keeps the ship in line.
00:24:17.000She's very much saying we're not going to have leaks out of the White House.
00:24:20.000I mean, Charlie, you remember this during the first term, the battles we had within that White House of people leaking on each other, trying to kill each other off.
00:24:28.000Then you've got the FBI going after you with the Russian hoax and all these special counsels against President Trump.
00:24:34.000And then on top of that, You had even cabinet members who were basically against President Trump.
00:24:40.000And what I couldn't understand is like, you're there to serve the president of the United States.
00:24:45.000You are there to ensure that his agenda is implemented to help the American people.
00:24:51.000And so I think President Trump this time around...
00:24:54.000I think with everything that he has gone through, from the weaponization of the DOJ, with the two assassination attempts, and I think the fact that he knew, like, what can we do this time around to make sure we don't run into this problem?
00:25:10.000And part of it is, I think, this shock and awe strategy, which is that of Basically, inundating the media with so much information that they simply cannot keep up.
00:25:23.000You've got the Vice President J.D. Vance in Europe, Secretary Marco Rubio right now in Israel, Secretary Pete Hegseth traveling abroad.
00:25:30.000He has deployed these warriors across the globe and here in America to basically Talk about the American vision, to talk about what the strategy is to bring peace to the globe, and then also to ensure that we have here a safe and prosperous America for all Americans, which is tackling these really huge problems that were ignored by the previous administration.
00:25:53.000I gotta tell you, I feel like a proud mama.
00:25:57.000I feel like just watching these guys Really just work 24-7, get the job done.
00:26:03.000The president has a very focused vision.
00:26:08.000They know that the moment is now, that this is the moment to use up the political capital to basically ensure that the president pushes back on activist judges, pushes back against these incredibly biased so-called journalists.
00:26:26.000And really, it's the alternative media.
00:26:28.000It's the work that you're doing, the work we do at CPAC, and these other outlets that people are saying, you know what?
00:30:01.000And yet, for whatever reason, the government is immune from that?
00:30:06.000Play cut 20. Most of the information about USAID spending has been available on government websites forever.
00:30:13.000If you wanted to know something about it, you could have found out last year.
00:30:18.000But the goal of doing this seems to have been to traumatize the people who work for USAID and also to traumatize people who work for other government institutions.
00:30:28.000This is a very simple principle of the market.
00:30:31.000If you no longer are bringing value to a job, then you get fired.
00:30:36.000Why is it that the government is immune from market principles?
00:30:43.000Because that's exactly the point, is that the government is supposed to be immune from government principles.
00:30:49.000This is Amy Klobuchar, who claims that Trump is stopping Head Start and cutting cancer research.
00:30:55.000Look, I want to see a cure to cancer more than anybody else, but why should the federal government be involved in billions of dollars of funding this?
00:31:01.000Why is that a role of the federal government?
00:31:03.000By the way, this federal government research is so sloppy, it's so corrupt.
00:31:22.000By the way, these are the same government researchers and institutions that told us that we need to have six feet to slow the spread, or masks for kids, or the vaccine was safe and effective, or mRNA technology was perfectly fine.
00:31:34.000You know that our policy of our government should not be giving $2 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthiest and paying for it by cuts to cancer research at NIH, something that has bipartisan support for years and years, or stopping Head Start, or freezing people who are trying to protect our nuclear stockpile.
00:31:56.000I know they are, but what I'm saying is, at some point, the pressure is on them.
00:32:01.000You can go one path or you can go the other path.
00:32:46.000USAID, Department of Education, IRS. Wait until they show up at the Pentagon.
00:32:52.000Play Cut 50. In addition to finding fraud, Doge is discovering lost taxpayer cash.
00:32:58.000Doge helping the Department of Housing and Urban Development relocate $1.9 billion that had gone missing under Biden.
00:33:07.000That's nearly $2 billion that they say the Treasury can now use for other things.
00:33:10.000Doge has also been digging into Social Security.
00:33:13.000Elon Musk estimating there's about 60 million more Social Security numbers issued than Americans, saying this might be the biggest fraud in history.
00:33:23.00060 million more Social Security numbers than Americans, which, by the way, might be doing phantom Social Security payments to illegal aliens, allowing them to steal Social Security numbers.
00:33:33.000And no one has even dared to look at it, to ask questions about it.
00:33:37.000We're going to go the way of fiscal sanity, living within our means, balancing our budget, a country for our children, not towards imminent fiscal collapse.
00:33:47.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
