00:01:13.000 David Mansdorfer, former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health.

00:01:17.000 David, welcome to the program.

00:01:19.000 On this program, we're very much behind Bobby Kennedy becoming HHS Secretary.

00:01:24.000 David, make the case as to why you believe Bobby Kennedy should be installed as such.

00:01:28.000 I think that Bobby Kennedy has the chance to challenge all of the preconceived notions around public health.

00:01:36.000 As we've seen during COVID and coming beyond COVID that we just saw such a draconian use of public health in the United States.

00:01:46.000 And 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

00:02:26.000 core issue here...

00:02:27.000 Bobby Kennedy has been a lifelong public health advocate.

00:02:32.000 He's been a lifelong advocate for moms and against environmental toxins.

00:02:39.000 What is it especially, who is against him most forcefully and why?

00:02:45.000 Well, 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.

00:03:11.000 And so I think you're going to see the activist association groups come out heavily against him, like the American Medical Association.

00:03:19.000 You're going to see pharma come out against him.

00:03:22.000 And 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.

00:03:36.000 Yeah, I mean, look, a healthy population is the kiss of death for big pharma.

00:03:40.000 Talk 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.

00:03:51.000 We don't need these other interventions down the road.

00:03:55.000 Yeah, I think one of the first things that a Secretary Kennedy, if confirmed, will look at is the things like the dietary guidelines.

00:04:02.000 Which go deeply into how we do school lunch programs here in the United States, which is a big indicator of health.

00:04:10.000 As we've seen, there is an obesity crisis in the United States.

00:04:15.000 There is a military readiness crisis because the lack of folks that can enter the military based on physical fitness.

00:04:22.000 And I think a Secretary Kennedy and the incoming Trump administration will do wonders for chronic disease and prevention where historically it's wholly underfunded.

00:04:34.000 Typically, 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.

00:04:42.000 So 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.

00:04:52.000 Let's go through some of Bobby Kennedy's opening remarks here.

00:04:56.000 I think they're really dramatic.

00:04:57.000 Play cut 133.

00:04:58.000 My 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.

00:05:12.000 I learned very early on that human health and environmental Let's continue to cut 134. Cancer

00:05:43.000 among young people is rising by 1 or 2% a year.

00:05:47.000 Autoimmune 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.

00:06:04.000 And finally, let's go to this one here, Playcut 135.

00:06:07.000 The United States has worse health than any other developed nation.

00:06:12.000 We spend more on health care, at least double and in some cases triple as other countries.

00:06:18.000 Last year, we spent $4.8 trillion, not counting the indirect costs of missed work.

00:06:25.000 What is your reaction to this opening statement of Bobby Kennedy?

00:06:30.000 The 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.

00:06:42.000 Well, what's interesting is that he's speaking directly to Democrats with that conversation.

00:06:48.000 And public health, those are topics considered under social determinants of health, which are long-held parts of the Democratic platform around public health.

00:06:57.000 And 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.

00:07:12.000 So with that, why are you against me now when you've been working with me on all of these topics before?

00:07:20.000 I 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.

00:07:39.000 Let's close here by plain cut 136.

00:07:42.000 136, please.

00:07:44.000 For a long time, the nation has been locked in a divisive health care debate about who pays.

00:07:50.000 When health care costs reach 20%, there are no good options, only bad ones.

00:07:58.000 Shifting the burden around between government and corporations and insurers and providers and families is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

00:08:08.000 Our 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?

00:08:20.000 Closing thoughts, David.

00:08:21.000 You know, I think the most powerful thing that RFK has said in its opening is healthy people have a thousand dreams.

00:08:28.000 Sick people have one.

00:08:30.000 With that, I think the United States needs a Secretary of Health that's willing to challenge everything.

00:08:38.000 From the traditional conceived notions of public health to how industry has gotten its hands over the economics of health in the United States.

00:08:48.000 I look forward to the many great things that President Trump and Secretary Kennedy will do when confirmed.

00:08:53.000 Thank you, David.

00:08:54.000 Really appreciate it.

00:08:55.000 Thanks for your time today.

00:08:56.000 Yeah, have a good day.

00:08:57.000 Email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:08:59.000 I want to reiterate something.

00:09:02.000 Mike Pence.

00:09:03.000 Is raising money from pharmaceutical companies to try to go up against Bobby Kennedy.

00:09:08.000 I hope you all understand that.

00:09:10.000 That Mike Pence is raising money to go run ads against the nomination and confirmation of Bobby Kennedy.

00:09:18.000 We are a sick, obese, medicated, alcohol addicted, drug addicted, slovenly country.

00:09:27.000 It's time for us to have a public health authority.

00:09:30.000 That understands that what you eat is who you become.

00:09:35.000 Organic food.

00:09:36.000 Getting proper vitamin D. You do not need a pill for every ill.

00:09:42.000 And Bobby Kennedy will do a phenomenal job as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

00:09:48.000 He will do a phenomenal job.

00:09:50.000 And for any Republican senator out there.

00:09:53.000 If you vote against Bobby Kennedy, there will be primaries.

00:09:56.000 There is a force behind Bobby Kennedy likes of which you have never experienced before.

00:10:01.000 We're talking about moms that were former Democrats.

00:10:04.000 There are millions of people behind this, so vote for him, or else you may not be a senator any longer.

00:10:11.000 While we may have won this election, the fight to restore our great nation is only beginning.

00:10:16.000 Now is the time to take a stand, and Patriot Mobile is leading the charge.

00:11:10.000 There's some very serious questions in front of people that oppose Bobby Kennedy.

00:11:16.000 be.

00:11:17.000 Why is America so sickly?

00:11:20.000 Are doctors always right?

00:11:22.000 Do you think our public health authorities won our trust during COVID? Bobby Kennedy authored one of the sharpest critiques out there of Anthony Fauci.

00:11:37.000 Bobby Kennedy was right all along during the COVID debacle.

00:11:42.000 We never should have locked down, as we said on this program.

00:11:45.000 The vaccine was a joke and a disaster.

00:11:48.000 The mRNA gene-altering vaccine.

00:11:51.000 We never should have suppressed early treatments.

00:11:54.000 And because of all of that, look at the sequencing.

00:11:57.000 We got lockdowns, which resulted in an even further diseased population.

00:12:02.000 We then got mail-in ballots, and they displaced Trump from power.

00:12:06.000 Now, 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.

00:12:20.000 Bobby Kennedy never would be close to becoming the Health and Human Services Secretary.

00:12:26.000 Would never even get close if President Trump would not have been displaced from power.

00:12:36.000 Political investment.

00:12:38.000 A serious investment into the grassroots to help form the Uniparty.

00:12:42.000 To help form this grassroots movement of moms and health-focused advocates and activists.

00:12:50.000 And I'm very happy to say we were part of history at Turning Point.

00:12:54.000 Donald Trump endorsing or receiving the endorsement of Bobby Kennedy.

00:12:58.000 Bobby Kennedy endorsing Donald Trump happened at our Turning Point event in Glendale, Arizona.

00:13:06.000 Bobby 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.

00:13:15.000 PlayCut138.

00:13:16.000 And I believe that vaccines play a critical role in healthcare.

00:13:22.000 All of my kids are vaccinated.

00:13:25.000 I've written many books on vaccines.

00:13:27.000 My first book in 2014. The first line of it is I am not anti-vaccine, and the last line is I am not anti-vaccine.

00:13:36.000 In my advocacy, I've often disturbed the status quo by asking uncomfortable questions.

00:13:44.000 Now understand, if you question the efficacy or the safety of vaccines, they call you anti-vax.

00:13:51.000 Of course, vaccines can be a scientific miraculous breakthrough.

00:13:59.000 Are they necessary for everything that we are vaccinated against?

00:14:01.000 Is a hepatitis B vaccine really necessary for every newborn child?

00:14:06.000 Is that really necessary?

00:14:09.000 Do we really need to inoculate against chickenpox?

00:14:13.000 The 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.

00:14:26.000 Every doctor will quietly say, of course there are side effects, potentially.

00:14:29.000 But we can't say that, or else you're called anti-vaccine.

00:14:32.000 It is a modern secular religion believing that vaccines are completely unchallengeable.

00:14:41.000 And 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?

00:14:49.000 So if a car explodes and kills your kid...

00:14:53.000 You 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.

00:15:00.000 If 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.

00:15:13.000 The entire incentive structure right now is trying to keep people permanently sick.

00:15:19.000 Trying to keep people permanently in.

00:15:22.000 A state where they can be controlled.

00:15:25.000 Where they are annuities for big pharma.

00:15:27.000 We have an obesity problem with our kids.

00:15:30.000 Half of our children by age 15 are overweight or obese.

00:15:34.000 Only 3% of Japanese kids are overweight or obese.

00:15:37.000 That comes to diet, that goes to movement, that goes to parenting and all sorts of things.

00:15:41.000 But our public health officials need to advocate for a health Cautious, focused agenda.

00:15:54.000 And this becomes a national security threat, becomes a national morale threat.

00:15:59.000 Kids 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.

00:16:12.000 Make America healthy again is an admirable cause.

00:16:16.000 Who could be against that?

00:16:18.000 Bobby Kennedy must be confirmed.

00:16:22.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:16:24.000 There'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.

00:16:34.000 It's the Education Freedom Movement.

00:16:35.000 It's real.

00:16:36.000 It's growing and growing because some states, as they should, are putting parents in charge of the education of their kids.

00:16:43.000 Everyone 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.

00:16:53.000 The fact is, parents know their own children best, knows what's best for their development and future.

00:16:59.000 Education freedom legislation puts parents, not zip codes, and politicians in charge of these important family decisions.

00:17:07.000 It's why I strongly support making universal education freedom a reality for every parent in every state.

00:17:13.000 To find out where your state legislature stands and to make sure your voice is heard, go to educationfreedomusa.com now, educationfreedomusa.com.

00:17:24.000 Bobby Kennedy continues in front of the Senate.

00:17:28.000 It's going to be quite interesting to see how Republican senators end up voting for him or with him.

00:17:35.000 Let's continue on some of the tape here from Bobby Kennedy's hearing.

00:17:38.000 Let's go to cut 139. All of these things cannot be true.

00:17:44.000 So, are you lying to Congress today when you say you are pro-vaccine?

00:17:50.000 Or did you lie on all those podcasts?

00:17:53.000 As you know, because it's been...

00:17:56.000 Repeatedly debunk that statement that I made on the Lex Friedman podcast was a fragment of the statement.

00:18:02.000 I said, there are no vaccines that are safe and effective, and I was going to continue for every person.

00:18:09.000 Every medicine has people who are sensitive to them, including vaccines.

00:18:14.000 He interrupted me at that point.

00:18:17.000 I've corrected it many times, including on national TV. You know about this, Senator Wyden.

00:18:22.000 So bringing this up right now is dishonest. 0.93

00:18:25.000 Senator Wyden is one of the worst.

00:18:28.000 He is a perfect example of a pharma shill.

00:18:31.000 And to be perfectly honest, he's also putting words into Bobby's mouth.

00:18:37.000 Bobby has never said he's pro-vaccine.

00:18:39.000 He's just said he's not anti-vaccine.

00:18:42.000 And he is in favor of, of course, some vaccines.

00:18:45.000 But it's actually not the core issue.

00:18:47.000 The core issue is he wants to make vaccines better and safer and more effective.

00:18:52.000 Blake is going to correct me here.

00:18:55.000 Isn't the old Voltaire quote, to find out who's in charge, find out who you can't criticize?

00:19:01.000 To find out who controls you, find out what you can't criticize?

00:19:03.000 Is that Voltaire, or is that wrongly attributed to him?

00:19:06.000 I bet it's wrongly attributed to him.

00:19:09.000 But that is a perfect example.

00:19:12.000 Oh, it was by a neo-Nazi falsely attributed to Voltaire.

00:19:15.000 Thanks, Blake.

00:19:15.000 Always uplifting.

00:19:16.000 That's an uplifting fact check.

00:19:18.000 I disavow.

00:19:20.000 That's still a good line, but I disavow, obviously, the neo-Nazi part.

00:19:24.000 But you can't criticize vaccines.

00:19:28.000 And 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.

00:19:46.000 Why is it that we can't ask questions about making them safer?

00:19:50.000 And the media, this is so dishonest.

00:19:52.000 Do we know what outlet this is, by the way?

00:19:54.000 Did we find out?

00:19:55.000 Let's play cut 132 up there. 0.95

00:19:57.000 This is in the room where they are writing the articles about and against Bobby Kennedy, where the journalists already have their headlines written.

00:20:08.000 They have the headlines written against Bobby Kennedy before he even uttered a line.

00:20:12.000 This is what they wrote.

00:20:14.000 RFK Jr. faces grilling on anti-vaccine comments and animal mutilation at confirmation hearing Trump Live Updates.

00:20:22.000 This is before anything happened.

00:20:24.000 Before anybody said anything, they have their headlines already written.

00:20:29.000 We'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.

00:20:39.000 Bobby Kennedy is pro-truth.

00:20:41.000 Wherever the truth will lead him is where he will go.

00:20:44.000 If vaccines are super safe, then why does Big Pharma need liability protection from the government?

00:20:52.000 You're not even allowed to ask these very simple questions.

00:20:57.000 Bobby Kennedy is trying to bring a wrecking ball to the Health and Human Services.

00:21:01.000 It'd be one thing if everyone was super fit in our country.

00:21:05.000 It's one thing if everybody was happy and full of joy.

00:21:11.000 No, but we are a diseased country.

00:21:14.000 We are the sickest we have ever been in our country's history. 0.99

00:21:20.000 We're the fattest. 0.99

00:21:22.000 We're the sloppiest.

00:21:24.000 And Bobby Kennedy wants to go about fixing that.

00:21:27.000 And one of the things that I really appreciate about Bobby Kennedy, it's a very empowering message.

00:21:33.000 He fundamentally believes that every single person has it within your own free will and your capacity and your agency to be healthier.

00:21:44.000 That you have the capacity to lose weight.

00:21:50.000 To eat better.

00:21:53.000 And what is wrong about trying to search for the truth?

00:21:56.000 It is verboten in the clearest possible way.

00:22:02.000 It is forbidden across the board.

00:22:06.000 And during COVID, did we not learn how corrupt and feckless our public health authorities are?

00:22:12.000 And Bobby Kennedy is a response to that.

00:22:16.000 COVID was a massive wake-up call.

00:22:18.000 And let's not lose the lead here.

00:22:21.000 As you're watching Bobby Kennedy get grilled by senators right now, that is Bobby Kennedy's son.

00:22:28.000 That is JFK's nephew.

00:22:32.000 I want you to think about that.

00:22:34.000 That is the ruling class of the Democrat Party that is now back to grill the Democrat Party that they no longer care about health.

00:22:45.000 And when have they ever?

00:22:46.000 And 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.

00:22:54.000 Bobby Kennedy is picking the largest and biggest possible fight, which is against entrenched pharmaceutical companies.

00:23:01.000 Eli Lilly, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson& Johnson.

00:23:07.000 The massive, gargantuan vaccine manufacturers.

00:23:11.000 Hundreds of billions of dollars.

00:23:14.000 Or on the line.

00:23:17.000 And health jeopardizes their profits.

00:23:21.000 The healthier America becomes, the less money they could potentially make.

00:23:27.000 If 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?

00:23:37.000 The old joke goes, I've been on antidepressants for 20 years.

00:23:42.000 When are they going to start kicking in?

00:23:45.000 At 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?

00:23:56.000 Where there might be naturopathic and alternative means.

00:24:00.000 The CEOs of these big pharma companies have fiduciary responsibilities to their stockholders to earn profits.

00:24:07.000 Their mission is not to help to make Americans healthy.

00:24:10.000 Their goal is to print and make money.

00:24:13.000 So when Bobby Kennedy says make America healthy, right now at Pfizer, they want you sick.

00:24:18.000 And to be perfectly honest, I have yet to see a free market zealot.

00:24:24.000 I would love to be able to grill a libertarian or Milton Friedman if he was alive on this topic.

00:24:30.000 Because it really is a contradiction. 0.96

00:24:33.000 If you have companies that they actually make more money over time, the sicker you are.

00:24:40.000 How does that reconcile with free market forces?

00:24:43.000 It's a very difficult question.

00:24:44.000 There is not an easy solution to that, by the way.

00:24:46.000 There is not an easy solution.

00:24:49.000 Because the old adage is, oh, well, you imagine how much money people would make if there was a cure to cancer.

00:24:53.000 Imagine if there was a way to not heal it, but keep you coming back for the next 10 years on your cancer.

00:25:00.000 Well, then you become a nice little check for big pharma for the remainder of your life.

00:25:05.000 And this all ties in with the trans-executive order.

00:25:09.000 Healthy workers and healthy people are a threat to this entire empire.

00:25:17.000 The Democrats are being incredibly combative to Bobby Kennedy.

00:25:21.000 Remarkably so.

00:25:23.000 Because they know what Bobby Kennedy represents.

00:25:25.000 There's trillions of dollars of industry that want to stop Bobby Kennedy.

00:25:30.000 Because God forbid your four-year-old stops eating high-fructose corn syrup.

00:25:38.000 And 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.

00:25:49.000 A sick and diseased population is one that is easier to control.

00:25:52.000 A sick and diseased population is one that is more malleable.

00:25:56.000 One that is in the palm of their hands.

00:25:58.000 A sick and diseased population is one that makes them infinitely more profitable.

00:26:07.000 When we are talking about a restoration of a free society, it takes healthy citizens for us to get to that free society.

00:26:14.000 To 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.

00:26:26.000 We know that the testosterone rates in the West are plummeting.

00:26:30.000 Infertility is a major and massive issue.

00:26:34.000 They are not going easy on Bobby Kennedy at all.

00:26:37.000 Let's play cut 146 so we can get a little taste.

00:26:45.000 I didn't say it was deliberately targeted.

00:26:54.000 I just quoted an NIH-funded, an NIH... A published study.

00:27:02.000 Did you say that it targets black and white people but spared Ashkenazi Jesus? 0.95

00:27:06.000 I quoted a study, Your Honor.

00:27:08.000 I quoted an NIH study that showed that.

00:27:12.000 It was an NIH study.

00:27:14.000 But man, they are going straight into the bottom of the barrel.

00:27:18.000 And by the way, COVID did affect different people differently.

00:27:22.000 That is science.

00:27:23.000 That is very, very slimy by Senator Bennett.

00:27:26.000 Very slimy stuff.

00:27:28.000 But that's what we expect from the Democrat Party.

00:27:30.000 Good for you, Bobby.

00:27:31.000 Fight back.

00:27:32.000 We have your back 100%.

00:27:33.000 This audience will not put up with anybody voting against you in the Republican Party.

00:27:40.000 Are you tired of scrolling through shows on TV and finding nothing but the same mind-numbing content?

00:27:45.000 Don't waste your time on that nonsense instead.

00:27:47.000 Use that time to learn something new and inspiring.

00:27:50.000 Hillsdale College offers more than 40 free online courses.

00:27:53.000 Learn about the works of C.S. Lewis, the meaning of the U.S. Constitution, the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, or the history of the ancient Christian church.

00:28:04.000 Consider the Constitution 101 course.

00:28:07.000 In it, you'll explore the design and purpose of the Constitution, the challenge it faced during the Civil War, and how it has been undermined for more than a century by progressivism and liberalism.

00:28:16.000 Our country needs more Americans who can understand the Constitution and can defend the freedom of the American people against the encroachments of an increasingly large and unaccountable government.

00:28:26.000 Start the Constitution 101 course today.

00:28:28.000 Right now, go to charlieforhillsdale.com to enroll.

00:28:30.000 There's no cost and it's easy to get started.

00:28:32.000 That's charlieforhillsdale.com, the register, charlieforhillsdale.com.

00:28:36.000 I would love to have somebody come on the program and tell me the case for if they think America is healthy.

00:28:46.000 Forget all the particulars on Bobby Kennedy.

00:28:49.000 I'm not going to win you over on that.

00:28:51.000 But do you really think the state of...

00:28:55.000 Do you think American public health is in a good position?

00:29:00.000 Do you think the state of American public health is strong?

00:29:06.000 We are one of the fattest countries.

00:29:08.000 Blake can get it.

00:29:09.000 I wrote about this in the book, and Blake helped me with the research and helped me put all the thoughts together.

00:29:12.000 We're one of the fattest countries in the world.

00:29:14.000 That alone should be a wake-up call.

00:29:16.000 And the answer is not Nova Nordsch-Ozembek.

00:29:19.000 The answer is diet, movement, lifestyle, choice, agency.

00:29:24.000 We want to make America lean again.

00:29:27.000 We have a 41% obesity rate in this country.

00:29:31.000 And I know a lot of you in the audience say, oh, it's not my fault.

00:29:35.000 I'm not getting into that.

00:29:36.000 The point is, let's fix it together.

00:29:38.000 Let's fix it together.

00:29:40.000 Bobby Kennedy continues in his testimony here.

00:29:42.000 Let's play cut 148. Let me just reassure you that President Trump has personally spoken to me.

00:29:51.000 About locating those 300,000 children who disappeared over the last four years.

00:29:56.000 I don't think anybody has a fully accurate number, but it's hundreds of thousands, I agree.

00:30:00.000 And 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.

00:30:12.000 We need healthy youth for our military.

00:30:14.000 We need healthy youth for our country, for the vitality of our nation.

00:30:18.000 We are in a circumstance right now where the major ag companies, the major pharmaceutical companies want you overweight.

00:30:27.000 I'm not going to get into this topic.

00:30:29.000 It's too controversial.

00:30:31.000 Is obesity a choice or not?

00:30:33.000 I think lifestyle plays a big role into it.

00:30:36.000 I really do.

00:30:37.000 But I also believe that people are being actively poisoned.

00:30:40.000 It goes back to a theme that we say many times on this program, which is, It is the Latin phrase, coibona.

00:30:49.000 Who benefits?

00:30:52.000 Who benefits if Bobby Kennedy is defeated and people remain fat and sloppy and unhealthy?

00:31:00.000 Coibona, who benefits if Bobby Kennedy wins?

00:31:02.000 I can tell you, if Bobby Kennedy wins and becomes secretary, which we're going to make sure happens, kids win, moms win, families win.

00:31:11.000 Who benefits if Bobby Kennedy is derailed?

00:31:13.000 There will be more unnecessary vaccines pushed on kids like the hepatitis B vaccine at birth.

00:31:19.000 Again, I'm not going to weigh in on all the vaccines, but come on.

00:31:21.000 Some of the stuff on the schedule should not be there.

00:31:23.000 The children should not get the COVID vaccine.

00:31:25.000 I think that's insane to give an 18-month-old the COVID vaccine.

00:31:30.000 Sorry, I'm going to speak out against that one.

00:31:31.000 That one's insane to me.

00:31:32.000 It's insane.

00:31:34.000 Babies getting the COVID vaccine.

00:31:36.000 I'm not talking about polio.

00:31:37.000 I'm not talking about measles, mumps, rubella.

00:31:38.000 I'm not talking about Tdap. 0.76

00:31:40.000 COVID vaccine.

00:31:42.000 Bobby Kennedy throws down the gauntlet on the Democrats.

00:31:45.000 Let's play cut 149. Americans don't, by and large, do not like the Affordable Care Act.

00:31:51.000 People are on it.

00:31:52.000 They don't like Medicaid.

00:31:53.000 They like Medicare.

00:31:55.000 And they like private insurance.

00:31:58.000 We need to listen to what people, they would prefer to be on private insurance.

00:32:02.000 Most Americans, if they can afford to be, will be on private insurance.

00:32:08.000 We need to figure out ways to improve care, particularly for elderly, for veterans, for the poor in this country.

00:32:17.000 And Medicaid, the current model, is not doing that.

00:32:20.000 We need a full disruption of health care because we need health care, not sick care.

00:32:25.000 More personalized individual treatment.

00:32:28.000 If somebody's experiencing issues, typically it's because of metabolic dysfunction that happened decades prior.

00:32:36.000 We need to get to root causes and uproot the entire food pyramid. 1.00

00:32:40.000 We want Americans to thrive.

00:32:42.000 And I think what's exciting about Bobby Kennedy is you don't have to agree with everything he says.

00:32:46.000 Blake doesn't agree with everything he says.

00:32:47.000 That's fine.

00:32:47.000 But we're willing to have a robust conversation on why are we overweight?

00:32:51.000 What can we do differently?

00:32:53.000 The biggest reason Americans don't thrive is not a lack of money.

00:32:58.000 It's not even being unable to buy a house.

00:33:01.000 By far the biggest source of our misery is how unhealthy we are.

00:33:05.000 The lack of health in this country is actually the root cause beyond all root causes.

00:33:12.000 And let's open this up and every good, wacky, creative, crazy idea, we need to have it out.

00:33:19.000 What I know, though, is the most high-functioning people in my life that I see are people that largely don't drink a lot of alcohol.

00:33:28.000 They're people that don't do drugs.

00:33:31.000 They're people that take exercise seriously.

00:33:33.000 They take sunlight exposure seriously.

00:33:36.000 And some of the most unhappy people and slovenly people are people that don't take that stuff seriously.

00:33:42.000 But 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.

00:33:54.000 We should trust our medical institutions.

00:33:57.000 And we know the CDC is captured.

00:33:59.000 We know the FDA is captured.

00:34:00.000 We know all these major institutions are captured.

00:34:03.000 And Bobby Kennedy is going to go in there and disrupt it for your kids, for your grandkids.

00:34:11.000 I could not be more behind Bobby Kennedy's ascension to HHS secretary.

00:34:17.000 I believe fundamentally in the Maha movement.

00:34:19.000 People make fun of me that I'm like the Maha mascot.

00:34:22.000 And we need to have Bobby Kennedy's back.

00:34:25.000 This right here would be one of the sweetest closures to the injustice of the COVID injustice.

00:34:32.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
