Trump's executive order banning men and boys from women's and girls' sports is a victory in the war to protect our girls. Former Vice President Joe Biden joins me on the show to talk about why he voted for Trump and why he thinks it was the right thing to do.
00:04:25.720Surrounded by young, innocent, fresh-faced girls who just want to play their sports against other girls.
00:04:35.440That's all they're asking, just for fairness and safety in sport.
00:04:40.240Something that for many decades has been a foregone conclusion in the wake of Title IX, but wasn't recently.
00:04:45.180Thanks to Joe Biden, that villain, and his sidekick, Kamala Harris, who actually tried to convince us she could do this job.
00:04:52.900You know, we've talked about this, but the night before the election, I went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and did something I've never done before in my life.
00:05:00.080Certainly not as a journalist, but not even as a private citizen.
00:05:02.400And that was, I endorsed a candidate and spoke on his behalf and urged other people to vote for him.
00:05:13.140I wasn't asked specifically to do this.
00:05:14.700But my choice to explain my vote was to tell people that those who were mocking President Trump's promise to protect women did not understand what he was actually going to do when he took the office.
00:05:28.300That I was voting for him specifically because I believed that promise.
00:05:32.740We spoke about, that night, Laken Riley.
00:05:36.960What was his first order of business, the very first piece of legislation he signed into law, the Laken Riley Act, to protect other young American women and men from the crimes committed by illegals who are here, who repeatedly offend, and then in these sanctuary cities get turned right back out onto the street, which is what happened in Laken Riley's case.
00:06:54.380This one that has 79% support of the American people, 67% of the Democratic Party is on the same page as Donald Trump on whether we should have boys who pretend to be girls playing in girls sports, men who pretend to be women playing in women's sports.
00:07:25.400We continue to face uncertainty when it comes to the economy with a perfect storm brewing as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point as the largest generation is, of course, hitting retirement.
00:07:36.200A smaller workforce means a smaller tax base.
00:07:38.820You pair that with our growing national debt and rising cost of living, and we could have a big problem.
00:07:42.900So what are you doing right now to protect your family for the future?

00:08:31.240Joining me now to discuss this historic executive order and all today's news, Andrew Klavan.
00:08:38.620He's the host of The Andrew Klavan Show at The Daily Wire and author of the forthcoming book,
00:08:43.040The Kingdom of Cain, Finding God in the Literature of Darkness, which will be released in May.
00:08:52.000It's a similar theme to what we just saw today.
00:08:54.340Not that Trump is God, but that God was present as he signed that executive order in the darkness of these past four years yesterday.
00:09:03.920Yeah, and you're absolutely right that even though these are EOs and we'd like to see laws passed, these are incredibly important because this is not a political movement that Trump is leading.
00:09:14.740I mean, it's even in some sense a cultural revolution, if I can borrow a phrase from our old friend Chairman Mao.
00:09:21.100I mean, this is the complete destruction of a way of thinking that has been imposed on us, not just through the Biden administration.
00:09:28.420He was kind of the worst of it, but he was also the end of it.
00:09:30.920This is 30, 40 years of a way of thinking that is absolutely, absolutely makes sense.
00:09:36.740And what Trump is doing is he's doing exactly what the left has so expertly done to us.
00:09:41.960The left knows how to basically, you know, what Scott Adams, the Dilbert guy, calls talk past the sale, talk past the important point.
00:09:51.040So they get us into an argument about whether a transgender person can use a girl's bathroom or play in a girl's sport.
00:09:58.140And while we're fighting about that, we've already lost the argument because we've already accepted that there is such a thing as a person who can transition from one sex to another, which there's not.
00:10:07.220And because Trump is such an expert at the culture, you know, he's not an expert at politics.
00:10:13.140He understood that just by gathering those little girls and young ladies around him, he was showing us a picture of what we have been told to forget, that these are our women.
00:10:24.460These are our future mothers of a generation that I won't even get to see be born.
00:10:29.540These are wives of people who haven't even met them yet.
00:10:32.420These are the people that we cherish as women.
00:10:34.760And for years, we've been taught that we can only, that women can only feel that they've accomplished something if they accomplish something as men.
00:10:42.360And that means that somebody who is a man who dresses up like them is essentially can replace them.
00:10:48.020They've taken away these children's identities.
00:10:50.580They've taken away their achievements.
00:10:52.620They've taken away their feminine modesty.
00:10:54.600They've taken away their spaces and their safety.
00:10:56.540And it is when you see those girls gathered around him, you know, you really you tear up, as you say, that God is present in that moment because we remember what we always knew, that these are people that we cherish and we cherish them in their girlhood, in their femininity, in their womanhood.
00:11:11.580All this stuff that has grown up recently, that kind of these Andrew Tate clowns and Pearl Davis who tell us we hate each other.
00:11:19.480These are all distortions forced on us by leftist feminism, by this idea that women are not valuable as women.
00:11:27.120They're only valuable as make-believe men.
00:11:29.180And so we've kind of been taught, we've got this anger in us, especially younger men.
00:11:34.520I think they have this anger and this idea that we are at war with one another.
00:11:48.280They understand that they're different and have different roles and different strengths.
00:11:51.660And they understand that they're complementary.
00:11:53.940And all of that was wiped away until finally we found ourselves actually allowing people with penises to walk in to girls' locker rooms and bathrooms.
00:12:06.600Fifteen percent of the so-called women in women's prisons are men.
00:12:11.360And I mean, this is the kind of madness that we've been talked into instead of basically living on our common sense, our ability to know what we know.
00:12:20.440I mean, it's really interesting when my friend, you know, Matt Walsh at The Daily Wire made that film, What is a Woman?
00:12:27.580The answer was not as easy to come up with as you might think, because a woman is a whole thing.
00:12:37.740It is actually an entire thing that we all understand in our hearts but can't always express.
00:12:42.380And the left has cleverly used its cultural expertise to talk us out of that knowledge.
00:12:50.480And Trump is using his equal cultural expertise backed up by a new media that supports him to remind us who we are, to remind us that we're men and women.
00:13:11.140What kind of nightmare have we been in that we have to wake up from it like this and tell people, pass orders saying you can't castrate little boys and cut off the breasts of little girls and you can't steal their spaces and their sports?
00:13:22.560And it's an amazing moment and a genuine transition.
00:13:25.260And I think it will last far longer than the usual executive orders.
00:13:36.620I feel a lot for the girls who have been hurt over the past four years who, you know, all these trans lobbyists are like trans people exist, you know, don't erase our existence.
00:13:46.700They erase the pain of girls just like that.
00:13:51.280You know, I referenced that night in Pittsburgh and it was, I, for me, it was a big deal to go and do that.
00:13:57.540I, I've never done that before and it was really important to me to do it.
00:14:02.300I, if I could convince any of my fellow women, because I know that there are a lot of Democrat women who were kind of open-minded to Trump because of issues like this, who were still being told he was Hitler, who were still being told he hated women.
00:14:15.440And I felt in my heart that if I could speak to them, if I could reassure them that even notwithstanding my weird past with Trump, I was fully on board in supporting him and that they needed to see him through this different lens.
00:14:27.680They needed to understand he really would protect us.
00:15:50.760Therefore, it is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities.
00:16:00.080I'm feeling emotional about it, which results in the endangerment, humiliation and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy.
00:16:08.320It shall also be the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women's sports more broadly as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity and truth.
00:16:19.500Directing that this secretary of education take all appropriate action to affirmatively protect all female athletic opportunities and all female locker rooms and to prioritize Title IX enforcement actions against any educational institution that denies female students an equal opportunity to participate in sports or athletic events by requiring them to compete against or appear unclothed before males.
00:16:47.460What a day, Andrew, what a day, Andrew, what a day.
00:16:52.880You know, when you really think about it, especially after the advent of Christianity, every Western civilization has been built upon the protection of women.
00:17:00.880The idea that women don't need special protections is simply a nonsense.
00:17:04.820It's not insulting to say when you have people who are stronger than you who want what you've got, when you have the fact that you can conceive and deliver children who need to be protected and who make you more vulnerable because you're the one who has to protect them.
00:17:19.440Entire societies all throughout the West since Christianity have been built upon protecting women and making sure they have lives.
00:17:27.460The marriage laws that feminists, you know, fall on the fainting couch over were invented by churchmen to basically say, no, you can't just kidnap a woman and carry her off and impregnate her.
00:17:38.140You know, you have to actually commit.
00:17:40.680If she's going to be faithful to you, you've got to be faithful to her.
00:17:44.520Entire networks of philosophy and society are all based on that.
00:17:49.280And the left just thought, oh, we'll turn that off now and it'll be fine.
00:17:52.040And what, of course, happens, you know, of course, women are victimized.
00:17:55.700And it's kind of bizarre that a guy like Trump, who has been a playboy and all that and has said, you know, insensitive things, should be the guy to fix it.
00:18:04.860But it's also kind of appropriate because one of the things that has happened is among the intelligentsia, the commentariat, is that they make fun of Trump for the way he talks, the kind of bluntness that he has.
00:18:18.900And one friend of mine once called him the guy at the end of the bar.
00:18:21.720And I said, you know, when you've plunged into a time of madness, the guy at the end of the bar has a lot to say because all he's doing is talking common sense.
00:18:30.560And when Trump promised during his inaugural speech and he promised we're going to have a golden age of common sense, that's what we're looking for.
00:18:37.420Because, again, Megan, we do know these things.
00:18:51.080I mean, it is the wonder of the world, the way women have been treated in modern Western society.
00:18:55.720When you compare society before that, of course, there were flaws.
00:18:59.280And, of course, there were things that had to be staggered forward toward and grasped.
00:19:02.760But it is an amazing thing that has happened, not just in America, but in Europe in the 19th century.
00:19:09.920The rights that women have secured, the protection that they have, and the entire civilizational network built to protect them.
00:19:17.880And the left just wanted to sweep it away like it was nothing.
00:19:20.420And when you see Trump with those girls around them, and, you know, I have a daughter, and you do, and I, you know, you understand that this is urgently important.
00:19:29.940This is the whole, all of us should be, this is not a male-female idea.
00:19:34.360This is something that all of us as civilized Western Christian-based people should care about down to our toes.
00:19:41.100And it is, it was a tremendously moving moment and only part of this cultural revolution that Trump is overseeing.
00:20:00.000This is one of the big reasons that we all won, and it's one of the big reasons that we had a record, a landslide like they haven't seen before, very often anyway.
00:20:12.220And who could forget last year's Paris Olympics where a male boxer stole the woman's gold medal after brutalizing his female opponent so viciously that she had to forfeit just after 46 seconds, and she was a championship fighter.
00:20:26.860And actually, they had two women or two people that transitioned, and both of them won gold medals, and they won them very convincingly.
00:20:36.740But all of that ends today because with this executive order, the war on women's sports is over.
00:21:04.680And it's an executive order, and we still need to sign the law, the law that we just had Senator Tuberville on the other day who introduced this legislation.
00:21:13.800And it keeps getting kicked out, keeps getting buried, even by Republican leadership right now in the Senate, which we're trying to pressure them into having a vote on this thing, to, it's the call to protect women and girls in sports act.
00:21:26.880The Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.
00:21:28.860There's no reason we can't have a law.
00:21:30.720This, this issue has 79% support of the American people, 67% of Democrats.
00:21:38.340Here's CNN's Harry Enten laying out the numbers yesterday.
00:21:41.600I think these numbers are really illuminating on this topic because I just think there's such a clear trend among the American public.
00:21:50.780So transgender female athletes and women's sports, only 18% of the country says that they should be, in fact, allowed to participate in women's sports.
00:22:04.520You rarely get 79% of the country to agree on anything, but they do, in fact, agree on the idea of opposing transgender female athletes in women's sports.
00:22:14.900As he points out, what, what does this country agree on?
00:22:18.700Name, name another issue that we're 79% in agreement on.
00:22:24.160I don't, I don't think you can find one really.
00:22:26.160It may be like how we felt about Betty White, right?
00:22:29.580Like it has to be something that generic and non-controversial.
00:22:41.920We're actually going to be joined by Senator Ron Johnson in, after you, because he's on our side on this.
00:22:47.720And I'm going to ask him what he thinks, but this is the fact that Republican leadership won't let this come out for a vote in a Republican controlled Senate.
00:22:56.400What Republican would ever vote against it?
00:22:58.220And why are we afraid of making the Democrats go on record with their no votes when almost 70% of their own caucus, their own voters agree with you and me and Ron Johnson on it?
00:23:09.600Because the Republicans haven't caught on yet to the fact that the media is no longer controlling the narrative.
00:23:15.000The mainstream or legacy media is no longer controlling the narrative.
00:23:18.500They're so used to being cowed and frightened and whipped by this circle of media that surrounds Washington, D.C.
00:23:26.160that they don't understand that nobody cares what they think anymore.
00:23:28.620Nobody cares what the New York Times opinion is anymore.
00:23:32.920And when you say that 79%, that's changed like 15 or 16% just in the last few months.
00:23:39.480And the reason it has changed is because Trump has given people permission to think what they already thought.
00:23:44.900No one ever, ever has believed that people could change sex.
00:23:48.180I don't believe even the people who think they believe it have believed it.
00:23:51.340But it took a guy, you know, the same guy who could take a bullet in the ear and spit the bullet back at the guy and say, fight, fight, fight.
00:23:58.200That was the kind of attitude it took simply to say that the emperor wasn't wearing any clothes, simply to say that all these leftist propositions were not just wrong.
00:24:09.380And so if the Republicans as a group do not wake up to the fact that they are no longer constrained by this empire of lies, that the empire of lies has fallen, it is gone.
00:24:21.340If they don't catch on to that, they're going to be replaced.
00:24:24.240You know, they're going to be pushed out in primaries.
00:24:26.180They're going to absolutely disappear.
00:24:36.640This is a picking up – it's a populist movement in the sense that it is following the will of the people.
00:24:43.580And in this case, the will of the people awakened by Donald Trump and other people who have had the courage to speak their minds like you, they're actually saying with simple basic truth that's right in front of them.
00:24:55.460And I think if the Republicans cannot bring this into law, they're out of their minds because I think if they actually bring it forward, even some of the Democrats are going to have to go along.
00:25:25.240It stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
00:25:26.960And they're Irish and she's sort of upper crust and he's more working class.
00:25:33.100And he shows up in her hometown to kill her father, who's the wealthy landowner who had his dad, well, not killed, but was disrespectful to their family and burned their house after his father died.
00:25:45.300So he shows up there to try to kill her father and shoots but misses and it's a debacle.
00:25:50.360Well, so she shows up and rescues him from the makeshift prison her mother has made for this Tom Cruise character and asks him to come with her as she goes to America.
00:26:01.680She's fleeing to America to live a more independent life.
00:26:04.160But he's just tried to kill her father.
00:36:41.660It didn't match the version we saw the next night on 60.
00:36:44.200And watch, you can see that discrepancy in this clip here.
00:36:48.300But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
00:36:53.580Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region
00:37:03.620by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy
00:37:13.220for what needs to happen in the region.
00:37:14.880But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
00:37:19.260We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where
00:37:24.620we stand on the need for this war to end.
00:37:28.100Not much better, but slightly more clear.
00:37:30.280With the release of the full video, now we know how that whole thing actually took place.
00:37:35.440First, the question from Bill Whitaker was actually edited down, and the part taken out
00:37:40.200was more pointed than the way it aired in either version.
00:37:46.300And you can see the full Kamala answer, too.
00:37:49.380Seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.
00:37:53.280The Wall Street Journal said that your administration has repeatedly been blindsided by Netanyahu.
00:38:03.560And in fact, he has rebuffed just about all of your administration's entreaties.
00:38:08.740Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel
00:38:21.200that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.
00:38:31.700And we're not going to stop doing that.
00:38:34.020We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.
00:38:41.920OK, so what we learned is that the first half of that inane answer was aired on Face the Nation as a tease and on actual 60 Minutes, which aired the next night.
00:38:53.460They used the second half of the answer, which was more succinct, though I don't know that it was more clear.
00:39:01.060I'm going to have to say 60 might have just been shooting for something that was a little closer to comprehensible, if you want to give them the benefit of the doubt.
00:39:40.400And most of us have limited time and limited airspace to put our interviews up in this kind of thing, like a pre-taped setting with somebody who's important.
00:39:49.180Not now because I'm on podcast, but back when I was on the cable news or the broadcast news.
00:39:54.560But look here at what we never got to see.
00:39:58.380We are a people who have ambition and aspirations and dreams and optimism and hope.
00:40:10.960If you look at the character of who we are and how we have achieved the strength that we have achieved, I believe in large part it is because of our character and our belief in the promise of America.
00:40:24.680And I'm running for president because I want to do everything that is possible to create an opportunity for people to achieve those goals, those ambitions and those dreams.
00:40:39.700You guys all know how many times we heard those stupid phrases, meaningless, out of her mouth.
00:40:44.880You can make the argument that, okay, they didn't need to include it because everybody's heard her say it.
00:40:50.640But you tell me whether it's putting the thumb on the scale editorially to take that out.
00:40:55.540But in essence, you could make the case that you're running cover for her because she is showing what an empty vessel she is, that this is all she's got.
00:41:04.820This is a major, supposed to be substantive sit down.
00:41:09.940This completely empty calorie-less filler that she says everywhere?
00:41:16.280Like, you'd have to have the debate internally about whether you're running cover for her and taking that out.
00:41:23.080Later in the interview, Kamala went on a bizarre side about picture day in school in Ohio on the subject of the eating of the dogs and the cats in Springfield, Ohio, which they also saved her from.
00:41:36.620You know, when I was attorney general, the words I spoke could move markets.
00:41:40.300So the idea that the former president, who, again, is running to be president, would use that microphone in a way that is about vilifying and demeaning a whole population of people.
00:41:55.080You know what has happened because of that?
00:41:58.080One day when this happened was a school day, picture day for an elementary school.
00:42:12.660You put out the clothes they're going to wear.
00:42:14.640They go to school making sure their faces are clean and their hair is done.
00:42:19.600And they go to school for picture day.
00:42:21.420You know what happened to these children?
00:42:23.380They had to evacuate that day because of the fear of the threats that were being issued in Springfield because of the words of Donald Trump.
00:42:33.800So, so, so, so I say that I'm glad you are pointing these, these, these comments out that he has made that have, have resulted in a response by most reasonable people to say it's just wrong.
00:43:42.080There are a variety of factors that relate to what we have seen globally and what we are not immune from at our own border in terms of what we have seen in terms of surge of immigration and irregular migration.
00:44:00.720But we've got to have leaders who are solution oriented, which we've been and are and I am going forward instead of leaders who want to make it a problem they can run on.
00:45:21.460And as far as I'm concerned, each and every one of them should be paraded naked through the streets like in Game of Thrones while we throw rotten vegetables at them and cry, shame, shame, shame.
00:45:30.900Because what they have done is they've made it almost impossible to hold anybody to account.
00:45:35.660They have basically cut off the flow of a politician does something wrong.
00:45:42.140The reporter exposes the fact that he's wrong.
00:45:44.160He has to pay price for it either legally or at the at the voting booth.
00:45:49.720That's the way a democracy is supposed to work.
00:45:51.620And it can't work without a free press.
00:45:53.080And we simply have not had a free press.
00:45:55.740If you look at this country since Obama was president, there's just been no penalty for bad actions.
00:46:01.340I mean, the IRS takes after Republicans, conservatives.
00:46:24.900They tell us that, you know, there was Russian collusion.
00:46:29.200And then they give themselves Pulitzer prizes for essentially elevating a Hillary Clinton dirty trick.
00:46:34.480They tell us that the Hunter Biden laptop isn't real.
00:46:37.400And we have to therefore, you know, censor any reporter who explores the fact that it is real.
00:46:42.160All of this stuff has been going on to cut off the people from any sense of reality.
00:46:48.440And I think it has played into the left's ability to tell us that boys can be girls.
00:46:53.620It's played into the left's ability to basically do terrible, the kind of terrible things that Elon Musk is exploring in our U.S. foreign aid.
00:47:03.840All of those things they've been allowed to do because the press just will not do its job.
00:47:08.900You actually have young reporters saying, we don't need to tell the facts.
00:47:14.060And you say, honey, if you don't know the facts, you can't get at the truth.
00:47:18.280You don't know what the truth is until you get the facts and until you report the facts and let the people figure out what the truth is.
00:47:25.040You know, they've been demonizing Fox.
00:47:26.920And I know you've had your experiences with Fox News.
00:47:29.860But there is more real news on one hour of the Bret Baier special report show than there is on the rest of the media, you know, for a week.
00:47:37.240And the fact that they have been able to do these things without ever being held to account, it is to me glorious to see people being fired now, reporters being fired and replaced, because they truly deserve it.
00:47:51.040These guys truly deserve to be shamed.
00:47:52.540So can Trump win this suit against CBS?
00:47:55.540I kind of doubt it, but it doesn't matter.
00:48:30.700I predict that a starlet will show up at a French film festival wearing a completely transparent dress and a news site will describe the outfit as shocking, even though no one is shocked or even particularly interested.
00:48:45.200How did, I mean, you said exactly what she did, a completely transparent dress.
00:48:49.640Yeah, I apologize to France for thinking that it would be them instead of us.
00:48:53.820But I think I think the thing is, you know, listen, this is this is my my thing.
00:48:58.280If I have any superpower at all is that I follow the culture really closely.
00:49:01.840And because I am an artist and because I create things, I can actually tell where things are going simply by watching movies and watching TV shows like this.
00:49:09.520And it actually it's actually not that hard once you're paying attention to that instead of who's winning a congressional race in Ohio.
00:49:17.120You can actually see where things are going.
00:49:19.000And this idea that, you know, it's kind of it's kind of a symbiotic relationship.
00:49:23.660These women dress in less and less and the media can basically get clicks by showing these half naked women.
00:51:03.260Now's the time to prioritize gut health.

00:52:25.240Don't let life's challenges stand in the way of your success.
00:53:42.100So this is important, and I know it's important to you personally.
00:53:46.980Our audience actually is very familiar, I think, with the roundtable you did with RFKJ on Maha issues, with Casey and Callie Means, with so many people who are in support of RFKJ because they care about chronic disease in this country, an issue I know is near and dear to you.
00:54:04.240So your prediction on whether he makes it.
00:54:07.540Well, Megan, first of all, thanks for having me on.
00:54:23.700And because you mentioned that panel, I thought the most important snippet of testimony came from Dr. Chris Palmer.
00:54:30.880He was a psychiatrist and does a lot of work with nutrition and mental health.
00:54:34.960And he made the point that they, whoever they are, they don't want to know the root cause of chronic illness because they are corporate interests.
00:54:46.480And if one of their ingredients, a herbicide, a pesticide, a pharmaceutical, a drug, if it's a contributing factor or a cause of chronic illness or autism, that will disrupt their multibillion-dollar business model.
00:54:59.900And of Bobby's testimony, I thought the fact that he said he spent the last few decades suing these agencies.
00:55:10.160He has a PhD in corporate capture, which is why he is exactly the right person at the right moment in time here, because the American public, in a completely nonpartisan fashion, they want to know what is causing chronic illness.
00:55:22.780They want to know what is causing the devastation of autism.
00:55:27.320I was thrilled to see Cassidy vote yes.
00:55:29.740I want to say, again, thank you to the audience of this show, because we gave out his contact information.
00:55:36.280And I'm sure his phones were ringing a lot, but I think they made the difference, because it's not that often that, you know, a barrage of people start calling a U.S. senator's office or emailing the office.
00:55:46.520And indeed, Politico has a report out this week saying Cassidy acknowledged that his phone was ringing off the hook with calls from supporters of Kennedy and his Maha movement.
00:55:55.740So right on, our listeners and viewers, you made a difference and America and your kids hopefully will be healthier as a result of it.
00:56:06.620I want to ask you about Cassidy, though.
00:56:09.120He sure did say that he extracted a lot of promises from Bobby in order to get the yes vote.
00:56:14.780He and I would have an unprecedentedly close, collaborative working relationship.
00:56:24.780We will meet or speak multiple times a month.
00:56:28.000He will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommendations without changes.
00:56:35.820CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.
00:56:43.360But my support is built on insurances that this will not have to be a concern and that he and I can work together to build an agenda to make America healthy again.
00:56:52.740So he seems to be saying there that they're going to be super close or they're going to talk several times a month that he promised that the immunization schedule recommended by the CDC will not change.
00:57:04.320That is controversial, just the schedule, not pulling vaccines, but the schedule.
00:57:08.280And lastly, that he will not pull down the statement that that the vaccines don't cause autism.
00:58:05.660We have all kinds of evidence of that.
00:58:07.640And so Bobby's first task is to restore integrity to science.
00:58:12.160Make sure that the data is transparent, that you have everybody at the table.
00:58:17.000Now, you know, science sometimes is black and white, but often it is not, particularly when you're looking at cause and effect in the complexity of a human body.
00:58:26.100So, again, my guess is, you know, Dr. Cassidy is a doctor.
01:00:15.680When I sat in that hearing, as when I sat in the Pete Hegseth hearing, I could not believe the performance by some of these Democrats, Senator.
01:00:23.000And as a member of the committee that was listening to the first day of RFKJ, I wonder what your reaction was.
01:00:29.780When it spiraled down into moments like this one with Bernie Sanders.
01:01:19.200But none of that mattered to any of us.
01:01:21.600I mean, we were focusing on an area of agreement.
01:01:23.860That's what Bobby Kennedy wants to do.
01:01:25.420So it was very disappointing from the standpoint that Democrats couldn't recognize the moment that the American people are hungering for the information.
01:01:42.140And there's nothing partisan about it.
01:01:44.280And let's face it, as Bobby Kennedy said, these people used to be my friends.
01:01:49.280You know, I mean, his name is synonymous with the Democrat Party, but they have just turned on him viciously.
01:01:54.300And that's just disappointing, particularly in light of the fact that President Trump, Bobby Kennedy set aside their differences, focus on an area of agreement, chronic illnesses.
01:02:02.820And in so doing, demonstrate not only how you solve a problem, but how you heal and unify a badly divided, a horribly divided nation.
01:02:11.560There are reports out this morning that the Democrats are now getting ready to vote no uniformly, all of them, on all of Trump's nominees, because this is their way.
01:02:21.020This is their new hashtag resistance effort because they're angry about what he's doing with executive orders, with USAID and Elon.
01:02:28.460And so now there there's a movement by Chuck Schumer to have them say no to everyone from this point forward.
01:02:34.500If so, it would mean the Republicans really can't lose more than three.
01:02:40.020So to get RFKJ or anybody else through, you'd have to make sure that Cassidy stays steady and that there's not another Cassidy lurking.
01:02:46.520We all know that possibly Murkowski, possibly Collins, possibly McConnell could be no's.
01:02:52.420So first, let me ask you, what do you think of that plan?
01:02:54.140And secondly, do you think that there is a different Cassidy who might surprise us and vote no against Kennedy?
01:03:00.100Because we are going to need all the Republicans, I think.
01:03:04.260And I've had conversations with others.
01:03:06.180And again, I'm I'm I'm pretty confident that Bobby will be confirmed because most Republican senators take have the same attitude as I have.
01:03:13.960We respect the convincing victory of President Trump.
01:03:19.680It's he's the one that decides who he wants serving his administration.
01:03:23.160Our job is to investigate, make sure there's nothing disqualifying the background.
01:03:26.920But if not, you know, vote to confirm.
01:03:29.200And I think that's what will end up happening in these cases.
01:03:31.760Plus, with Bobby, you know, I did the initial whip count on him.
01:03:35.280And it's really interesting how the conversation went with Republicans and Democrats.
01:03:38.740They would always start out saying, you know, there's a lot that Bobby's doing that I really agree with that I really love.
01:03:43.480But and he's he's alleviated those concerns, those buts.
01:03:49.600And people do realize I think even Democrats in their hearts realize that what Bobby Kennedy wants to do is unbelievably popular with the American public.
01:03:59.640But you don't think he's going to get any Democrat votes, do you?
01:04:21.100I think early on I was a little more hopeful.
01:04:22.840But again, based on the hearing, the hostility shown from from even members that are generally more moderate in their in their, you know, at least presentation came out pretty hostile.
01:04:33.600Well, I really hope that these Democrats, whether they vote for him or not, can get behind the Maha movement, which is not political, political at all.
01:04:43.220They're Democrat moms and Republican moms and dads, for that matter, who want their kids to be safer and who want themselves to be safer.
01:04:49.600It's it's silly for people to prioritize this piece of our national conversation.
01:04:56.780OK, you talked about these elites in the scientific field and how they they've had an we know better than you approach and how this has been a longstanding fear in the United States.
01:05:09.900I've been watching as you have been over the past many months trying to get documentation from the CDC and the FDA and the National Institutes of Health on what was said internally when Fauci and the others were there about myocarditis and pericarditis and other side effects and serious risks or adverse consequences of the covid vaccine.
01:05:37.940And I have been watching as you've been getting stonewalled and stonewalled and documents that are supposed to look like this, but instead look like this because they've been so redacted, totally whited out as an effort to comply with your request.
01:05:51.580So what happens now, Senator, because now we have President Trump's team going into those organizations, of course, RFKJ, ideally at HHS.
01:06:00.540And then we're hoping Jay Bhattacharya at NIH and we're hoping Martin McCary at FDA.
01:06:06.540So are we about to get the full disclosure on what they knew and when they knew it?
01:06:14.500That year where the fact that I have now issued what I'd consider a friendly subpoena for documents that, again, I've written over 70 oversight letters during the Biden administration and been basically given the middle finger.
01:06:26.420So, you know, top of the list was the last 50 pages of Anthony Fauci's emails unredacted.
01:06:53.220Plus, the 17 pages of talking points, instead of issuing a warning on the health alert network on the myocarditis that they were getting reports on from Israel, for example, in the early months of 2021, right after the rollout, they were going to issue an alert on that health alert network.
01:07:10.560Instead, they came up with a 17-page talking point memo.
01:07:13.560It'll be really interesting to put together all the timelines of what these federal officials were telling the public, what lies they were telling the American public versus what they actually knew behind the scenes.
01:07:24.740But we should get those 17-page talking points.
01:07:27.220That should be pretty interesting as well.
01:07:28.360But also, you know, their proportional reporting ratios, their empirical Bayesian analysis, which should be public information, but they've kept hidden, should also be pretty revealing.
01:07:40.240So, again, we already know people like Fauci, Francis Collins, you know, these federal health officials lied to the American public repeatedly about their injections, about COVID.
01:07:56.140I think there's going to be a reckoning.
01:07:57.600I think there's going to be a lot of truth being exposed here in the next couple months.
01:08:01.080I'll be very interested to see what you guys find.
01:08:04.420Please keep us in the loop, and we'll have you back on once you get your information back.
01:08:08.400All right, last but certainly not least, this historic executive order by President Trump today on women's and girls sports, keeping men and boys out of them.
01:08:18.660And we spoke with Coach Tuberville, Senator Tuberville, last week about why he can't get a vote on the Senate floor on his bill that would turn this exact executive order into law.
01:08:33.380You know, we all love the four-year reprieve from this madness, but we'd much rather have it written into a law where the next president, if it were a Democrat, could not just revoke it with a different executive order.
01:08:43.400So what is your take, Senator, on why John Thune will not schedule a vote on the Protect Women and Girls in Sports Act?
01:08:50.380Oh, my guess is merely a timing issue.
01:08:53.880And again, President Trump has acted boldly, swiftly, decisively to make sure that girls aren't going to be harmed by male athletes now.
01:09:02.640They're not going to be in their locker room, their bathroom, or they're going to risk, those organizations are going to risk loss of federal funding.
01:09:08.500So I think we have time to actually put this for a vote.
01:09:11.860Now, it'll be interesting to see where the Democrats will join us.
01:09:14.520Of all the crazy, I mean, just gobsmackingly crazy agenda items of the Democrat Party, the fact that they promoted this transgenderism agenda and allowed male athletes to compete against our girls is the most, like I say, just jaw-dropping of all of them.
01:09:33.360So let's hope Democrats have seen the light and we can codify this so that the next crazy Democrat president doesn't go back to this transgenderism and put our girls and women at risk.
01:09:45.400All right, when you say you think it's just a matter of timing, what does that mean?
01:09:48.220Because, you know, we don't want to wait until after the midterms when we might not control both houses of Congress with sane people who will vote for this.
01:10:01.900Again, Democrats are not cooperating on nominations, so we're having to run the clock.
01:10:06.720And we have limited time for legislation right now.
01:10:09.300It's all about confirming President Trump's nominees so they can start getting in there, cleaning out the deep state.
01:10:15.640Again, I think the confirmation process is completely out of control.
01:10:18.900I dramatically reduced the number of confirmed positions for both Democrat and Republican presidents, but that's not the state.
01:10:24.600And so right now, top priorities, get these people in place, and we'll turn our attention to this.
01:10:30.660Again, this would be a pretty, I think, a high priority bill to get on the Senate floor to at least put Democrats on notice, put them on record that they really want biological males to harm our girls.
01:10:43.180I don't think that's a good vote for them.
01:10:44.340Sixty-seven percent of Democrats are in favor of Trump's policy.
01:10:48.940Sixty-seven percent of Democrats, 79 percent of the electorate as a whole.
01:10:59.920You mentioned you're in a big push to get Trump's nominees through.
01:11:03.240Well, in the wake of the funding freezes that Trump issued early last week, both with respect to some foreign aid, now we've got the USAID controversy and other issues.
01:11:17.440The Democrats have decided to make Russ vote the nominee for OMB, Office of Management and Budget, their new fall guy.
01:11:24.740They don't want him to get through, but they can't stop him because he does have the votes.
