1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: And a lot of what we've heard from Bobby Kennedy 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: Junior just amplified now because of the position he finds 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: himself in all this skepticism about vaccines. Now packing that 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: panel Health and Human Services with vaccine skeptics, can you 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: just address let's just take these basic these basic vaccines 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: that kids have been taking for generations to go to school. 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: Are there questions around them? Do they make people sick? 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: Have they been making children sick? Is there a reason 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: for concern? And if so, why hasn't that been addressed 10 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: in the I don't know eighty years since they've been around. 11 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 2: I mean, really, you're signaling it. 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 3: No, The answer is no, there's no scientific evidence that 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 3: any of the childhood vaccinations. Let's take technis measles, mumps, 14 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 3: and rubella polio vaccine. I mean, these are just fundamental 15 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 3: foundational things that no other country in the entire world, 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 3: by the way, is having a similar type of discussion 17 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: at their governmental level. 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 4: We are because of the people that are currently in power. 19 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 3: But there's no reason why the other countries across the 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 3: globe are having a similar discussion because this science doesn't 21 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 3: beg it. There's no incidents of increased side effects. There's 22 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: no lenks to autism. This is one man with his 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 3: agenda in the power to really enact as ADA. 24 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 4: That's RFK Junior. 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 3: I'll lastly you say here just on this topic of 26 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 3: why this matters to American families across the spectrum, because 27 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 3: Florida is likely just the canary and the coal mine there. 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 3: We're probably going to see this in more states across 29 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 3: the country, just like we saw here on the West 30 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: Coast that they're banding together to create their own coalition 31 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 3: to counter the CDC. We're going to see this likely 32 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: happen in more places for everybody out there. 33 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: Once. 34 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 3: Something that has happened since two thousand and eight really 35 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 3: is that pediatric beds across the country have declined twenty 36 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 3: percent decrease in pediatric back capacity and children's hospitals across 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: the country. 38 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 5: Why does that matter? 39 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 3: Just at the time that Ladappo and Desantitis are doing 40 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 3: this in Florida creating more burbon and billais for kids, 41 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 3: there's less beds actually deal with the aftermath. 42 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 4: And we saw in West Texas when you have the. 43 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: Measles epidemic that a lands kids and kids in the 44 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 3: hospital that needs supplemental oxygen. Likely in an ICU, we 45 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 3: have less of those steeds. Really, it's crazy. 46 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I mean, I mean, first of all, when 47 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 6: ideology starts intruding on public health, you're going in a 48 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 6: dangerous direction because science comes under a tech. What the 49 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 6: Florida Certain General has said, I mean, if vaccines are slavery, 50 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 6: then polio's freedom apparently, And you get in that kind 51 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 6: of an Orwellian desk spiral, and kids are going to 52 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 6: get sick and people will die, and you wonder what 53 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 6: we'll get our attention, Except then you remember that we 54 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 6: had one point one million Americans died during COVID and 55 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 6: still that disinformation. 56 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 2: Got in the groundwater. 57 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 6: So I want to hear from people like you know, 58 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 6: Senator Cassidy, who's a doctor who was skeptical of rfk's 59 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 6: claims and ultimately went along with it and empowered this 60 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 6: kind of dismantling of the CDC that I'm sure he's 61 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 6: agonizing about in private, But. 62 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 4: Will he have the courage to say it in public? 63 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 6: Because this is a dismantling of the repudiation of Operation 64 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 6: Warp Speed, which was one of the great accomplishments of 65 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 6: Donald Trump's first term. But what's happening right now at 66 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 6: the CDC and in health and Human Services and in 67 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 6: some of these states will hurt Americans. Kids will get sick, 68 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 6: people will die. This is what happens when ideology starts 69 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 6: intruding on science and public health. 70 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 7: The first reported case of COVID nineteen in the US, 71 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 7: focus has now turned to vaccines, as companies race to 72 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 7: develop them and government leaders work. 73 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 8: To distribute them. Is it safe? 74 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: Safe? 75 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 9: Breaking news in the fight against coronavirus.

We are going to 144 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 21: We're going to jump in right now, go live to 145 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 21: the hearing. The Star Chamber has met ees on Bobby Kennedy. 146 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 21: Let's go live and we'll come back to the show 147 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 21: in a few minutes. 148 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: Now. 149 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 22: The Department has a renewed focus on tackling the root 150 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 22: causes of chronic disease and promoting prevention. First, I look 151 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 22: forward to exploring ways that the federal government can further 152 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 22: align payment incentives to support healthy living and fight chronic disease. 153 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 22: The administration has also prioritized efforts to end waste, fraud, 154 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 22: and abuse in our federal health care programs, including through 155 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 22: eligibility and enrollment verification. This critical work is not just 156 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 22: about saving taxpayer dollars, it's about storing trust and ensuring 157 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 22: vital programs like Medicare and Medicaid are sustainable for generations 158 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 22: to come in July, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 159 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 22: Services CMS announced that the agency identified two point eight 160 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 22: million Americans who were simultaneously enrolled in multiple Medicaid or 161 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 22: Affordable Care Act exchange plans. Stopping this duplicate enrollment while 162 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 22: working with states to ensure that individuals do not inappropriately 163 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 22: lose coverage, has their potential to save taxpayers. 164 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: Fourteen. 165 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 21: We're going to dip in and out of this. This 166 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 21: is going to be an inquisition of Bobby Kennedy. The 167 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 21: Democrats all night long have been platinum planning. They want 168 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 21: to remove Kennedy. They look at Senator Cassidy from Louisiana 169 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 21: as the as the weak link here. 170 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 4: So we're going to find out we're cut in and out. 171 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 21: I'm sure we'll probably show more Democratic senators than Republican 172 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 21: and we're going to try to get to as many 173 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 21: Kennedy's answers as possible. So just let me know when 174 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 21: it's passed, particularly to a Democrat, mister producer, so we 175 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 21: can go back and hear the vitriol. 176 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 4: We're going to try to take commercial breaks. We may 177 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 4: not be able to. 178 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 21: If we can't, we'll just go right through and break 179 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 21: the commercials like we did yesterday. 180 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 4: I wanted to make sure one of the key things. 181 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 21: We wanted yesterday, which you think is very important because 182 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 21: Fox and was showed, done of it. I thought it 183 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 21: was quite important from the very first to the very 184 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 21: end that you saw all the Epstein victims and broke 185 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 21: Conna and what Tom mess he's trying to do or 186 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 21: trying to do with the Dischargetician. I don't believe they 187 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 21: picked up any votes yesterday. Viva Frye has had some 188 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 21: interesting comments and observations on this yesterday, and I've asked 189 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 21: Viva to join us probably in the second or third block. 190 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 4: Here's what we're going to do on the show today. 191 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 21: We're going to go in and out of Bobby Kennedy's 192 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 21: hearing because it's vitally important for make America healthy again, 193 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 21: and Bobby Kennedy, we believe is doing a terrific job. 194 00:09:58,960 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: Now. 195 00:09:59,200 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 4: I would like to. 196 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 21: See more aggressive leaning into a comm strategy over they 197 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 21: get more information out. If we had that, I think 198 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 21: quite frankly, the star chamber element of this could have 199 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 21: been avoided today. 200 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 4: But be that as it may. 201 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 21: Bobby Kennedy, I'm sure he'll be putting forward the best 202 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 21: evidence today. And remember thirty five hundred review worked under 203 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 21: the guidance of what Amy Kelly and Naomi wolf over 204 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 21: Daily Cloud to come up with the Pfiser papers, which 205 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 21: were extraordinary, and we're elemental in moving this discussion forward. 206 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 21: Of course, what we have is that Bobby is cut 207 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 21: off all current research and I believe all future research 208 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 21: in the gene therapies. 209 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 4: Let's go back. 210 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 21: We're gonna go to wide and we're gonna get some 211 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 21: of the nasty ones right of the box. 212 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 4: Let's go ahead and listening. 213 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 10: Week, most of the senior leadership at the Centers for 214 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 10: Disease Control and Prevention were fired or they resigned after 215 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 10: refusing to bow to Robert Kennedy these unceasing crusade against vaccines. 216 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 10: I traveled across Oregon last month and the message was 217 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 10: the same from one end to the state to the other. 218 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 10: Families are confused, They're scared about who to trust about 219 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 10: their healthcare. Robert Kennedy and Donald Trump have done so 220 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 10: much to feed that mistrust. This morning, my staff and 221 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 10: partnership with Center also Brooks Team is releasing a report 222 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 10: that shows the disaster of Robert Kennedy's two hundred and 223 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 10: three days in office, every single day there's been an 224 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 10: action that endangers the health and wellness of American families. 225 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: Robert Kennedy is elevated conspiracy. 226 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 10: Theorists, crackpots, and grifters to make life or death decisions 227 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 10: about the healthcare of the American people. Robert Kennedy's tenure 228 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 10: is so far marked by three calling cards. One is 229 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 10: chaos at federal health they agencies, leaving families, doctors in 230 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 10: the entire nation confused and frightened. Corruption that benefits Robert Kennedy, 231 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 10: Donald Trump, and their friends at the expense of taxpayers 232 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 10: and higher health costs for families. I ask unanimous consentments 233 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 10: Chairman Danner, this report into the. 234 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: Record without objection. Then there's chaos. 235 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 10: It's been obvious from the start that Robert Kennedy's primary 236 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 10: interest is to take vaccines away from Americans. During his 237 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 10: confirmation process, he claimed to be pro safety in pro science, 238 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 10: but his actions reveal a steadfast commitment to elevating junk 239 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 10: science and fringe conspiracies. His agenda has not been about 240 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 10: choices and information for families. Just last week, he threatened 241 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 10: doctors that deviated from the new anti science vaccine guidelines 242 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 10: he released that make it harder for pregnant women and 243 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 10: children to get the COVID vaccine. And then there's corruption, 244 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,959 Speaker 10: Robert Kennedy's bizarre statements and actions and beg the question 245 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 10: why Democrats on this committee answered that question months ago. 246 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 10: Robert Kennedy can enrich himself and his allies. His family 247 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 10: still stands to gain from class action lawsuits against vaccine makers. Now, 248 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 10: Robert Kennedy fired every member, every single one of the 249 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 10: group responsible for making vaccine recommendations. 250 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 2: To doctors across the. 251 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 10: Country, under the false pretense of conflicts of interest. Meanwhile, 252 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 10: many of the new members of the panel are outright 253 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 10: vaccine deniers who've appeared as paid witnesses and lawsuits against 254 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 10: vaccine makers. Their conflicts of interest in ethics disclosures remain 255 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 10: hidden under lock and key. On top of all this 256 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 10: bedlam in American healthcare, just two months ago, Donald Trump 257 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 10: signed into law the largest healthcare cuts in American history 258 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 10: to pay for tax breaks for the wealthiest people in 259 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 10: massive corporations in our country. Republicans know these cuts are 260 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 10: going to hit communities like a wrecking ball. That's why 261 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 10: they push the most severe cuts until after the election. 262 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 10: That's why their members already introduced bills to roll back 263 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 10: some of the cuts. Make no mistake, though, those cuts 264 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 10: are being felt right now. We're seeing hospitals in Idaho 265 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 10: cutting payments, hospitals and nursing homes. Providence Seaside Hospital in 266 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 10: Oregon announce they're shutting down their. 267 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: Labor and delivery in it. 268 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 10: Every family is going to feel the burden of Trump 269 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 10: Care in America. Premiums are going to spike next year, 270 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 10: especially for those who buy health insurance on their own, 271 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 10: but the effects will be felt by those who get 272 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 10: insurance also through an employer. Congress has an opportunity to 273 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 10: extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits that lower the 274 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 10: cost of premiums. Democrats are ready to pass an extension 275 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 10: that stops a dramatic premium spike that would force many 276 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 10: families to pay double what they do today. Instead of 277 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 10: finding ways to help American families pay less for he healthcare, 278 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 10: Robert Kennedy is focused under the anti vaccine mission, fueled 279 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 10: by some kind of complex that the consequences be damned. 280 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 10: Amid this litany of corruption and chaos, the one point 281 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 10: I have to underline is Robert Kennedy puts children in 282 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 10: harm's way every single day in America. To my Republican colleagues, 283 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 10: I must ask what line must Robert Kennedy cross before 284 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 10: some of you will also join this alarm. This weekend, 285 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,239 Speaker 10: under the cover of darkness, Robert Kennedy attempted to disappear 286 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 10: hundreds of children under his care at Office of Refugee 287 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 10: Resettlement Facilities. These children here without parents or family were 288 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 10: rounded up in the middle of the night and put 289 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 10: on planes to Guatemala. Lawyers on the ground described unthinkable scenes. 290 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 10: Our staff, some who are here today were party to 291 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 10: this in the middle of the night, and one child 292 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 10: said to their lawyer, why do they want to set 293 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 10: me back? My mom is dead and my dad abuses me. 294 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 10: Why do they want to hurt me? This was an 295 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 10: actual conversation. These actions were illegal. Documents show that many 296 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 10: of these children were in the country to escape trafficking 297 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 10: in their home land. Mister Kennedy calls himself a protector 298 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 10: of children, some kind of rich claim claiming from somebody 299 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,479 Speaker 10: who's flown on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet on multiple occasions. 300 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 10: I don't think Robert Kennedy should be within a million 301 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 10: miles of this job. Republicans on the committee had a 302 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 10: chance to prevent the public health train wreck that mister 303 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 10: Kennedy has engineered. Everyone voted for him. It is in 304 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 10: the country's best interest that Robert Kennedy stepped down, and 305 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 10: if he doesn't, Donald Trump should fire him before more 306 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 10: people are hurt. But his reckless disregard for science and 307 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 10: the truth. I also would like to note Senator Cantwell 308 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 10: has joined us in this effort. I hope, at the 309 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 10: very least Robert Kennedy has the decency to tell the 310 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 10: truth this morning, it's the President. Excuse me, mister Chairman. 311 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 10: I have a procedural request. I'd like to make it 312 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 10: this time. It's a short one. Proceeding, Thank you, Miss chairman. 313 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 10: Miss Chairman. It's unfortunate that I have to say this, 314 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 10: but this is a witness who has lied to members 315 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 10: of the Senate Finance Committee. In response to over thirty 316 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 10: five written questions, including from me, he said, and I quote, 317 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 10: that he would do nothing a's hjh's secretary that makes 318 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 10: it difficult or discourages people from taking vaccines. 319 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 2: That was clearly not true. 320 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 10: His unprecedented unilateral actions to restrict access to COVID vaccines 321 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 10: that alone proves it. He tried to fire the Senate 322 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 10: approved CDC director after she chose the truth over what 323 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 10: I consider his delusions. His prepared testimony even today includes 324 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 10: the debunk lie that half a million children disappeared under 325 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 10: the Biden administration's watch, a lie that the Trump administration 326 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 10: is using. It's a pretext to hunt immigrant children and 327 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 10: their families. So my request, mister Chairman, and I think 328 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 10: it it's unfortunate that I have to do this, but 329 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 10: given the unprecedented nature of the witnesses behavior, I would 330 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 10: ask now that the Committee formally swear in Robert Kennedy 331 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 10: as a witness. 332 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 22: Senator White and I will personally object and will reject 333 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 22: your request. We will treat this witness as we treat 334 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 22: all of the other administration witnesses who come before us. 335 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 22: And let me just say again, as I said in 336 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 22: my opening remarks, we will have some partisan disagreements today. 337 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 22: We're having parties in disagreements right now, and I am 338 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 22: having parties in disagreements with you on your characterization of 339 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 22: the facts. The bottom line is we will let the 340 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 22: Secretary make his own case in his opening statement. 341 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 10: I'll only say, you know, mister Chairman, that this committee's 342 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 10: unwillingness to swear this witness is basically a message that 343 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 10: it is acceptable to lie to the Senate Finance Committee 344 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 10: about hugely important questions like vaccines. I think it's a 345 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 10: great mistake, and that's why I've made the request to understand. 346 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 10: If you're not going to grant it, then we can 347 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 10: move on. 348 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 22: We'll get to the bottom of your accusations. But at 349 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 22: this point I'm going to turn to our witness, the 350 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 22: Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, 351 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 22: and mister Kennedy, mister Secretary, you may make your opening 352 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 22: statement at this time. 353 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 14: Thank you Chairman Crapo, and thank you Ranking Member Wide 354 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 14: and the invitation with you here before the committee today. 355 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 14: Before I summarize what we've accomplished this year at HHS, 356 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 14: I want to express my deepest condolence to the family 357 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 14: of DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose. 358 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 5: Who gave his life to stop. 359 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 14: The gunfire attack on the CDC on all Age. Officer 360 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 14: Rose was a veteran. He was a husband and the 361 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 14: father of two children. Officers Roses widow whom I visited, 362 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 14: is expecting their third child. I'd like Officer rose family 363 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 14: to know that he remains in our prayers and that 364 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 14: he will continue to be in our thoughts. 365 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 5: Let me start with a big picture. 366 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 14: Under President Trump's leadership, we at HHS are enacting a 367 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 14: once in a generation shift from a sick care system 368 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 14: to a true healthcare system that tackles the root causes 369 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 14: of chronic disease. Chronic disease has reached crisis proportions in 370 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,239 Speaker 14: our country, and finally we have an administration that is 371 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 14: taking action. The MAHA Report Assessment, which the White House 372 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 14: released in May, was the first government analysis to the 373 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 14: key drivers of childhood chronic disease, ultra processed foods, chemical exposures, 374 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 14: physical inactivity, and over medicalization. This month, we will follow 375 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 14: with the MAHA Reports Strategy, the Trump administration solution for 376 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 14: addressing each cause. At HHS, we haven't just been writing reports. 377 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 14: We have been the busiest, most proactive administration in HHS history, 378 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 14: and just half a year we've taken on food dies, 379 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 14: aby formula contamination, the grass blophole of fluoride in our 380 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 14: drinking water, gas station, heroine, electronic cigarettes, drug prices, prior authorization, 381 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 14: information blocking. 382 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 2: The committee will come to order. 383 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 21: Okay, this is going to be interrupted, we know today 384 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 21: with protesters, so just stand by it. Like I said, 385 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 21: this is the star Chamber. We're going to return to 386 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 21: it right now in the audience. 387 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 22: Comments from the audiences, our audience are inappropriate. If there 388 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 22: are any further disruptions, the committee will recess until the 389 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 22: police can restore order. 390 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: Mister Secretary, please proceed. 391 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 14: As I was saying, prior authorization, information blocking, and healthcare interoperability. 392 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 14: We are ending in a function research child mutilation and 393 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 14: reducing animal testing. We are addressing cell phone use in schools, 394 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 14: excessive screen time for youth, the lack of nutrition education 395 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 14: in our medical schools, sickle cell anemia, HAPPETITEI see the 396 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 14: East Palestine chemical spill, and many many others. At FDA, 397 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 14: we are now on track to approve more drugs this 398 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 14: year than at any time any history. Also proud to 399 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 14: say that AGHS under President Trump is doing more with less. 400 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 14: We have taken measures to fight waste, fraud, and abuse. 401 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 14: Just by eliminating duplicative enrollments in cmas, we are saving 402 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 14: taxpayers fourteen billion dollars a year. Meanwhile, we are expanding access. 403 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 5: For people who need it. 404 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 14: We are ending races diversity, equity and inclusion practices and 405 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 14: instead focusing on aiding low income and vulnerable families regardless 406 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 14: of their race, which was the original ten intent of 407 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 14: Title ten. We're also pouring a billion dollars into Headstart 408 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 14: and the Administration for Children and Families. Compassion need not 409 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 14: be the casualty of efficiency. I'd like to highlight some 410 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 14: issues that have not gotten media attention. First, we are 411 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 14: doing our part to fill the President's commitment to stop 412 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 14: human trafficking, especially of children. We inherited a terrible humanitarian 413 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 14: crisis from the previous administration with its open border policies, 414 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 14: which allowed the appalling loss of four hundred and seventy 415 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 14: six thousand unaccompanied children. We have implemented policies now to 416 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 14: ensure that that appalling tragedy can never happen again. We 417 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 14: have knocked on eighty two thousand doors and located twenty 418 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 14: two thousand of those children. I promise you that we 419 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 14: will do more in the. 420 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 5: Next three years. 421 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 14: We are also addressing disastrous health conditions in tribal communities 422 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 14: on Native American reservations. I've met face to face with 423 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 14: tribal but tribal leaders in dozens of communities and tribes 424 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 14: in Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, and elsewhere, and I 425 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 14: look forward to making HHS resources more available to those communities. 426 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 14: One of the most nicous significant initiatives under President Trump 427 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 14: is a Rural Health Transformation Fund, part of the President's 428 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 14: Big Beautiful Bill, which will provide the greatest investment of 429 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 14: federal money into rural healthcare in history. Finally, I would 430 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 14: like to address the reason shake up said CDC. These 431 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 14: changes were absolutely necessary, jasmins to restore the agency to 432 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 14: its role as the world's gold standard public health agency 433 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 14: with the central mission of protecting Americans from from infectious disease. 434 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 14: CDC failed that response of her ability miserably during COVID, 435 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 14: when it's disasters and nonsensical policies destroyed small businesses, violated 436 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 14: civil liberties, closed our schools, caused generational damage in doing so, 437 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 14: massed infants with no science, and heightened economic inequality. And 438 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 14: yet all those pressive and unscientific interventions failed to do 439 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 14: anything about the disease itself. America is home to four 440 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 14: point two percent of the world's population, yet we had 441 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 14: nearly twenty percent of the COVID deaths. We literally did 442 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 14: worse than any country. 443 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 5: In the world. 444 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 14: And the people at CDC who oversaw that process, who 445 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 14: put masks on our children, who closed our schools, are 446 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 14: the people who will be leaving. And that's why we 447 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 14: need bold, competent and creative new leadership at CDC, people 448 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 14: able and willing to charge a new course. As my 449 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 14: father once said, progress is a nice word. A change 450 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 14: is its motivator, and change has its enemies. That's why 451 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 14: we need new blood at CDC. That's also why it's 452 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 14: imperative that we remove officials with conflicts of interest and 453 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 14: catastrophically bad judgment and political agendas. 454 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 5: We need unbiased. 455 00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 14: Politics, free, transparent, evidence based science in the public interest. 456 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 14: Those are the guiding principles behind the changes at the CDC, 457 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 14: and that is what you can expect all across our 458 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 14: agency for the next three years. 459 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, mister Secretary. 460 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 22: I'll begin with the questioning, and one of the first 461 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 22: things I'd like to talk to you about is actually 462 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 22: something that is under the auspices of CMS, and I 463 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 22: spoke with doctor Oz last night about this. I'm sure 464 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 22: you're very familiar with it though, and that is that 465 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 22: in the One Big Beautiful Bill. There's a lot of 466 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 22: attacks right now going on publicly about hospitals are in trouble, 467 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 22: and the blame for that is placed on the bill, 468 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 22: even though the bill hasn't even been implemented yet. The 469 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,479 Speaker 22: fact is, this committee held hearings on the troubles that 470 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,719 Speaker 22: rural hospitals are facing in the United States before the 471 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 22: passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill. They've been facing 472 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 22: difficut culties in rural America. 473 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 2: For a number of years now. 474 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,239 Speaker 22: And the bill, the One Big Beautiful Bill, contained a 475 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 22: Rural Health Transformation Program which I would just like to 476 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 22: ask you to comment on. 477 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: This is the program. 478 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 22: Which allocated fifty billion dollars over the next five years 479 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 22: to our rural community hospitals in the United States to 480 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 22: help them deal with some of the financial crises that 481 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 22: they are facing and transition to more stability. Could you 482 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 22: comment on that program that is in the One Big 483 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 22: Beautiful Bill. 484 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, the Senator. 485 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 14: One of President trumscamp paying promises and one of the 486 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 14: principal preoccupations, not only of Republican Senators when I did 487 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 14: my confirmation hearing. But also almost equally among democratic centers 488 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 14: of crisis and rural health, we have at one hundred 489 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 14: and twenty Row Hospital has closed over the past ten years. 490 00:28:54,560 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 14: These institutions are not just delivering health access to Americans, 491 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 14: but they are economic senators, the air cultural centers for 492 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 14: those communities. They are often the largest employer. They are 493 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 14: they are the highest paying jobs, and they are the 494 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 14: centerpiece for those communities. So when they die of the 495 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 14: communities collapse. And President Trump promised to do something about that, 496 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 14: and he has delivered on that promise. Right now, we 497 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 14: spend about the six percent of Medicaid funding is sent 498 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 14: to rural hospitals, a very very tiny slice, and that's 499 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 14: one of the reasons they're in trouble. President Trump is 500 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 14: now allocated through the one big, beautiful Bill of fifty 501 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 14: billion dollars, so ten billion dollars a year over the 502 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 14: next five years, what we give to rural hospitals, that 503 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 14: six percent represents nineteen billion a year, So we're increasing 504 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 14: that by ten billion dollars. So we're we're infusing more 505 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 14: than fifty percent increase in the amount of money is 506 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 14: going to rural communities over the next five years. There's 507 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 14: never been anything like that in history. It is the 508 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 14: biggest investment and it should stem this hemorrhage. 509 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: Well, thank you. 510 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 22: I appreciate your giving clarity to that, because it is 511 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 22: frustrating to see these continuous allegations that the difficulties that 512 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 22: our rural hospitals are facing all were created in the 513 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 22: last few months when we passed a bill, when we've 514 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 22: been holding hearings in this committee about these problems. And 515 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 22: in the bill that we passed, we gave a fifty 516 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 22: billion dollar boost to, as you indicated, increased by fifty 517 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 22: percent the federal support for our community rural hospitals in 518 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 22: the United States. And I think that the hospital owners 519 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 22: understand that they recognize this support. In fact, they are 520 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,959 Speaker 22: coming very They're coming together very carefully with doctor Oz 521 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 22: to work on the rollout of this program so that 522 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 22: we can see this boost and this support that is coming. 523 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 22: Another one of the disagreements we have about what really 524 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 22: was in the One Big, Beautiful Bill, So I appreciate 525 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 22: you commenting on that in the last few In the 526 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 22: last minute and ten seconds that I have with you, 527 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,959 Speaker 22: could you just quickly talk once again about the broad 528 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 22: issue of making America healthy again, in terms of our 529 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 22: aim to change the healthcare system's focus from a reactive 530 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 22: symptom management model to one that focuses on lifestyle choices 531 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 22: and the root. 532 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 2: Causes of chronic disease. 533 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 14: Yes, Senator, you know this morning I got the latest 534 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 14: numbers from CDSA that seventy six point four percent of 535 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 14: Americans now have a chronic disease. 536 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 5: This is stunning. 537 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 14: My uncle was president, was eleven percent. Nineteen fifty, it 538 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 14: was three percent. He is seventy six point four percent. 539 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 14: Eighty five eight out of ten of our kids cannot 540 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 14: qualify for military service, national security issue. When my uncle 541 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 14: was president, we spend a zero on chronic disease. We 542 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 14: spend one point three trillion dollars. It's the biggest cause. 543 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 14: It's increasing. And all of the arguments that Republicans and 544 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 14: Democrats have about a single payer Obamacare, or the various 545 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 14: ways of allocate the health dollars, they are all like 546 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 14: rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. If we don't end 547 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 14: this chronic disease, we are the sickest country in the world. 548 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 14: That's why we have to fire people at CDC. They 549 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 14: did not do their job. This was their job to 550 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 14: keep us healthy. 551 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 2: Thank you. 552 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 5: I need to. 553 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 14: Fire some of those people to make sure this doesn't 554 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 14: happen again. 555 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 2: Thank you, mister Secretary. 556 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 22: I have to cut myself off to make sure I 557 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 22: keep to this time frame too, Senator. 558 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 2: Away, thank you very much. Miss Chairman. 559 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 10: I've made it clear I think that Secretary Kennedy is 560 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 10: dead set on making it harder for children to get vaccines, 561 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 10: and that kids are going to die because of it. 562 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 10: But Chairman, I'd like to put in the record today 563 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 10: an op ed written by Susan Manares, who was fired 564 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 10: by mister. 565 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 2: Kennedy without objection. 566 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 10: So what we know and doctor Manares, you know is 567 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 10: approved by Republicans. She wrote an op ed today in 568 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 10: the Wall Street Journal, which I've just put in the record, and. 569 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 2: I quote her. She said, I was. 570 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 10: Told to preapprove the recommendations of a vaccine advisory panel 571 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 10: newly filled with people who have publicly expressed anti vaccine rhetoric. 572 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 10: So this is not some liberal philosopher or something. 573 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 2: This is the CDC. 574 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 10: Director who tells the Wall Street Journal, which is not 575 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,959 Speaker 10: exactly interested in progressive you know, theories and the like 576 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 10: that she was told to pre approve the recommendations of 577 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 10: a vaccine advisory panel filled with people who've publicly expressed 578 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 10: anti vaccine. So my first question, mister Secretary, is did you, 579 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 10: in fact do what Director Moneras said you did, which 580 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 10: is tell. 581 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 2: Her to just go along with vaccine. 582 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 10: Recommendations even if she didn't think such recommendations aligned with 583 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 10: scientific evidence. 584 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 17: I did not. 585 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 2: Yes, that's a yes or no. 586 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 10: So you have an opportunity to call her a liar 587 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 10: if you say that you didn't do it. 588 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 2: But I'd like to see you respond to this. 589 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 14: No, I did not say that to her, and I 590 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 14: never had a private meeting with her. Other witnesses to 591 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 14: every meeting that we have, and all of those witnesses 592 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 14: we'll say I never said that. 593 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 10: So she's lying today to the American people in the 594 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 10: Wall Street Journal. Yes, sir, okay, let's talk now about 595 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 10: what's coming up, because I've made it clear what I've 596 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 10: thought about the two hundred and three days with my 597 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 10: colleagues Center also Brooks. In two weeks, CDC's Advisory Committee 598 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 10: on Immunization Practices will meet to make decisions about critical 599 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 10: vaccines that protect us against hepatitis. 600 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 2: Being measles, and more. 601 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 10: The Committee's got a profound impact on vaccine access. 602 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 2: But these aren't ordinary meetings. 603 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 10: You stack the deck to ensure the panel benefits bends 604 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 10: to your views. In June, you fired all seventeen committee 605 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 10: members who were respected scientists and doctors. You replace them 606 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 10: with non experts, vaccine skeptics, and conspiracy theorists. As a result, 607 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 10: this critical advisory panel has lost scientific credibility after years, colleagues, 608 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 10: we spend so much time not looking at this as 609 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 10: Democrats and Republicans, but it's good science and scientific credibility. 610 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 10: And now the American Academy of Pediatrics has warned that 611 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 10: the committee is being politicized at the expense of children's health. 612 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 10: American Academy of Pediatrics, you think they're lying to I. 613 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 14: Think the American Academy of Pediatrics is gravely conflicted. They 614 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 14: get their biggest contributors are the four largest vaccine makers. 615 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 14: They run a journal Pediatrics, which they make a lot 616 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 14: of money on, that is completely dependent on pharmaceutical companies. 617 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 14: So I don't think I wouldn't put a big stake 618 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 14: in what they say that benefits pharmaceutical address. Senator I 619 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 14: didn't politicize I depoliticize it. 620 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,239 Speaker 5: The Congress has been they say. 621 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,839 Speaker 10: All over the country, mister Secretary, scientists and doctors are 622 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 10: saying otherwise. 623 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 2: They're all wrong too, They're all lying. 624 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 14: According to you, the scientist doctors are supporting me all 625 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 14: over the country. 626 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 5: Oh, there is division on opinion. 627 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 10: I don't get letters from thousands of people who are 628 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 10: not political saying that this set of changes is going 629 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 10: to damage American healthcare and particularly these healthcare agencies for 630 00:36:58,800 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 10: decades to come. 631 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 2: I don't get any letters we'll say, Oh, he's going 632 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 2: to make a big difference forever. 633 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe you're listening to a selective group of people. 634 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 2: Get you, get me, and I. 635 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 14: Will find I will tell you what, Senator, I will 636 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 14: put my mail bag against your mail bag. 637 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 5: Got day. 638 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 2: I got thirty seconds. 639 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 10: Dangerous respiratory viruses like RSV are on the agenda for 640 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 10: the next advisory meeting.

But now it looks like you're 646 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 10: on a crusade to make infants and babies more vulnerable 647 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 10: to the terrible illness. 648 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,320 Speaker 2: That's what we're doing with the COVID changes.

Again, it 996 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,839 Speaker 7: surprises me that you think so highly of Operation Warp 997 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:57,040 Speaker 7: Speed when as an attorney you attempted to restrict access. 998 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,080 Speaker 5: But I'm happy, I'm happy to explain why. 999 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 14: I have. 1000 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:04,479 Speaker 8: I had three minutes and thirty seconds left. 1001 00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 7: It also surprises me because you've canceled, or HHS did, 1002 00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,480 Speaker 7: but apparently under your direction, five hundred million dollars in 1003 00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:19,840 Speaker 7: contracts using the mRNA vaccine platform that was critical to 1004 00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 7: Operation Warp Speed. Again an accomplishment that I think President 1005 00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:25,479 Speaker 7: Trump should get a nobel price. 1006 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,040 Speaker 8: You canceled five hundred million in contracts. 1007 00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:33,680 Speaker 7: Now, I grew up in a middle class family, so 1008 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,200 Speaker 7: five hundred million dollars seems this is canceled. It seems 1009 00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,960 Speaker 7: like an incredible waste of money. But it also seems 1010 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 7: like a commentary upon what the President was attempting, what 1011 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,759 Speaker 7: the President did, and Operation Warp Speed, which is to 1012 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:51,200 Speaker 7: create a platform by which to create vaccines. So this 1013 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,239 Speaker 7: just seems inconsistent that you would agree with me. The 1014 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,360 Speaker 7: President deserves a tremendous amount of credit for this. 1015 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,920 Speaker 5: Is this is a question or is this a speed 1016 00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 5: you don't want me to ask, because well I want 1017 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:03,000 Speaker 5: to answer that question. 1018 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,759 Speaker 8: Please please if it's the question, but b'd be tight. 1019 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:06,080 Speaker 2: Please. 1020 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:10,600 Speaker 14: The first of all, the reason that operation warps feed, 1021 00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,680 Speaker 14: which she is is it it's something nobody had ever 1022 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,120 Speaker 14: been done. I don't think any president but President Trump 1023 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 14: could do it. It got the vaccine to market that 1024 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,760 Speaker 14: was perfectly matched to the virus at that time when 1025 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:26,000 Speaker 14: it was badly needed because there was low natural immunity 1026 00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,800 Speaker 14: and there were people getting very badly injured by COVID. 1027 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 14: And then but he was also it was also brought 1028 00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,680 Speaker 14: in therapeutics like hydrox glorok when an ivery, mexine and 1029 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 14: and protocols for treatments and all, and there were no mandates. 1030 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,439 Speaker 14: And then okay, I had another question, so please about 1031 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 14: That's what I began litigating against President Biden's mandates. 1032 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,680 Speaker 8: Now, so let me go on, because. 1033 00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 5: Those contracts I. 1034 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:55,919 Speaker 8: Have limited time as the secretary. I'm sorry. 1035 00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,480 Speaker 7: You've called for, and rightly so, that we should restrict 1036 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 7: participation in agencies for those with conflict of interest. I 1037 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:08,240 Speaker 7: would like to submit for the record an evaluation of 1038 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,480 Speaker 7: the conflict of interests of those who are on the 1039 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 7: ASIP and the Vaccines that Related Biologic Products Advisory Board. 1040 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,760 Speaker 7: It was not ninety seven percent as alleged. Rather, it 1041 00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,120 Speaker 7: was six point ninety percent, and it was one point 1042 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:21,440 Speaker 7: two percent I think for the. 1043 00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:22,680 Speaker 2: Other panel without objection. 1044 00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 7: Now I am concerned though, because many of those whom 1045 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,360 Speaker 7: you have nominated for the ACIP board. 1046 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,680 Speaker 8: Excuse me, you ex excuse me on that excuse? Can 1047 00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:32,520 Speaker 8: I have my time back? 1048 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:33,520 Speaker 2: Yes? 1049 00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 7: What I am concerned about is that many of those 1050 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:43,280 Speaker 7: whom you've nominated for ASIP have received revenue as serving 1051 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:51,160 Speaker 7: as expert witnesses for plaintiff's attorneys suing suing vaccine makers. Now, 1052 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,600 Speaker 7: one of my colleagues in another setting alleged that you 1053 00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 7: see more interested in settlements than science. 1054 00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,120 Speaker 8: If we put people. 1055 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 7: Who are paid witnesses for vaccine people suing vaccines, that 1056 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,840 Speaker 7: actually seems like a conflict of interest. 1057 00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:08,520 Speaker 4: Real quickly, do you agree with that? 1058 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:09,200 Speaker 10: No? 1059 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:09,920 Speaker 5: I don't. 1060 00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 14: May it may be a bias, and that if this 1061 00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 14: closed is okay, it's not a financial witness. 1062 00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:24,800 Speaker 5: It's not a financial Let me finish up and. 1063 00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,200 Speaker 8: Let me finish up. You also told. 1064 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 7: Senator Widen at the outset that you didn't want to 1065 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 7: take vaccines away from people, and as I conclude, I 1066 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 7: would like to say this because of the conflicting recommendations 1067 00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:43,440 Speaker 7: made by about COVID. This is from Eric Erickson, good 1068 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,160 Speaker 7: conservative out of Atlanta, Georgia, occasionally gives me help. My 1069 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,800 Speaker 7: wife has stage four lung cancer. She is one of 1070 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,880 Speaker 7: the people that COVID vaccine actually helps. Thanks to the 1071 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 7: current invest at HHS, CBS is unable to get her 1072 00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 7: a vaccine. Secondly, an email from h a physician friend 1073 01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:03,720 Speaker 7: of mine. Hey, Bill, I'm not even sure what I'm 1074 01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,400 Speaker 7: asking you, but we're all confused and concerned about who 1075 01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,240 Speaker 7: could get the COVID vaccine. We are having our attorney 1076 01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,080 Speaker 7: try and render an opinion, but there's no firm guidance 1077 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 7: and concern about liability if vaccines are given to a 1078 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 7: patient request but not on the current CDC list. 1079 01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 8: Pharmacists are requiring a prescription. 1080 01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,600 Speaker 7: Now even for patients over sixty five, creating a huge headache. 1081 01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,120 Speaker 7: I submit these for the record with that objection, I 1082 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,320 Speaker 7: would say, effectively, we're denying people vaccine. 1083 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 2: I hate Senator katwill I hate it wrong. 1084 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:31,920 Speaker 15: Thank you, mister Chairman. 1085 01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,960 Speaker 16: Following up on that same line as Senator Cassidy, because 1086 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,680 Speaker 16: that's exactly you know. I represent one of the most 1087 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 16: science based states in the country, that is percentage of 1088 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:47,439 Speaker 16: scientists per capita, and at your confirmation hearing, we asked 1089 01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,080 Speaker 16: about this whether you would follow science. You've made a 1090 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,120 Speaker 16: statement here today in your testimony that you would follow science, 1091 01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,800 Speaker 16: and yet you're not following science. And that's what Senator 1092 01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,040 Speaker 16: Cassidy's question was so simple, yes or no answer? Do 1093 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,400 Speaker 16: you think the President deserves to get a prize for 1094 01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,880 Speaker 16: warp speed in them in the m r in a 1095 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 16: technology that saved so many lives? 1096 01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,720 Speaker 15: And you won't answer that question. 1097 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,400 Speaker 5: I answered it no. 1098 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 16: You're saying that there are problems with what was interpreted. 1099 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 16: You could say, yes, do you say. 1100 01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:21,960 Speaker 14: The president deserves a Nobel prize? But our m r 1101 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,280 Speaker 14: NA vaccines that we're working on, the ones that we canceled, 1102 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:29,680 Speaker 14: which are for upper respipt or infections alone, are those 1103 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:30,959 Speaker 14: you canceled. 1104 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 16: Five hundred million dollars of research because the r the 1105 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:39,600 Speaker 16: mr INNA technology is about continuing the research to be 1106 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 16: ready for the next flu influenza, the next pandemic and 1107 01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:46,360 Speaker 16: you have to do this. 1108 01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,520 Speaker 5: I'm happy to give. We have a detailed discussion with you. 1109 01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:50,919 Speaker 5: We got it. You're so wrong. 1110 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,840 Speaker 16: Fact, you're interrupting me. And sir, you're a charlatan, that's 1111 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:57,960 Speaker 16: what you are. You're the ones who conflate chronic disease 1112 01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:02,520 Speaker 16: with the need forvaccines. The history on vaccines is very clear. 1113 01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 16: This is the twentieth century. That's how many people had 1114 01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:08,720 Speaker 16: vaccines and had illnesses. 1115 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,600 Speaker 15: This is the twenty first century. This is the decrease 1116 01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:13,680 Speaker 15: ninety nine. 1117 01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 16: Percent down to one hundred percent. This is what was 1118 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:20,240 Speaker 16: delivered with vaccines. And you don't want to support that. 1119 01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,920 Speaker 16: You don't want to support that evidence. So, yes, the 1120 01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:28,160 Speaker 16: governors of the West, Washington, Oregon, and California will take 1121 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,680 Speaker 16: up the efficacy of science. Yes, the University of Washington 1122 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:36,160 Speaker 16: will deliver the science that America will depend on because 1123 01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:37,240 Speaker 16: you don't want. 1124 01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,840 Speaker 15: To depend on it. And his own Surgeon General of 1125 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:42,240 Speaker 15: the Trump. 1126 01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,760 Speaker 16: Administration said, over two million lives were saved because the 1127 01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:50,120 Speaker 16: mRNA technology, and you don't want to continue that. You 1128 01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:54,400 Speaker 16: don't want to continue that technology. So what country is 1129 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,760 Speaker 16: going to now take up that technology lead?
