RFK Jr. Stuns Critics With Masterclass Senate Confirmation Performance
Elizabeth Warren tried to put RFK Jr. on the spot. What happened next was priceless.
🧵 THREAD
Robert Kennedy Jr. just endured 3.5 hours of relentless grilling by Senate Democrats—but to their dismay, he responded with poise, deep knowledge, and an undeniable passion for tackling America’s chronic disease crisis.
In his opening statement, he expertly broke down the nation’s health catastrophe, exposing the alarming trends plaguing millions of Americans.
“Today, Americans’ overall health is in grievous condition. Over 70% of adults and a third of children are overweight or obese.”
“Diabetes is 10 times more prevalent than it was during the 1960s. Cancer among young people is rising by 1 or 2% a year. Autoimmune diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, Alzheimer’s, asthma, ADHD, depression, addiction, and a host of other physical and mental health conditions are all on the rise, some of them exponentially.”
“The United States has worse health than any other developed nation. Yet we spend more on health care—at least double, and in some cases triple, what other countries spend. Last year, we spent $4.8 trillion, not counting the indirect cost of missed work.”
“A healthy person has a thousand dreams. A sick person has only one. Today, over half of our countrymen and women are chronically ill.”
Things quickly escalated when Dem Senator Mark Warner tried to corner Kennedy into agreeing not to fire current federal health employees. But when Kennedy refused, Warner suffered a complete meltdown.
MARK WARNER: “Will you pledge that you will not fire federal employees who work on food safety, who work on trying to prevent things like Salmonella?”
KENNEDY: “Senator, there are 91,000 employees.”
WARNER: “Will you commit not to fire anyone in the health arena who currently works on protecting Americans from cyberattacks in their healthcare files?”
KENNEDY: “I will commit to not firing anybody who’s doing their job.”
WARNER: “Based on your opinion? Based upon your opinion or your political agenda, or Mr. Trump’s political agenda?”
KENNEDY: “Based upon MY opinion.”
WARNER: “I guess that means a lot of the folks who’ve had any type of views on vaccines will be out of work.”
Kennedy boldly stated during his testimony that Americans do not like the Affordable Care Act before directing a pointed question at the hecklers in the crowd.
“They would prefer to be on private insurance...I would ask any of the Democrats who were chuckling just now: Do you think all that money, that $900 billion that we're sending to Medicaid every year, has made Americans healthy? Do we think it's working for ANYBODY?!”
An incredible thing happened when Kennedy stunned Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) into complete silence by exposing the harsh reality of America’s dire health crisis.
If you watch one moment from the hearing, make it this one.
“President Trump has asked me to end the chronic disease epidemic and make America healthy again... and that is what I’m doing.
“And if we don’t solve that problem, Senator, all of the other disputes we have about who’s paying—whether it’s insurance companies, whether it’s providers, whether it’s HMOs, whether it’s patients or families—all of those are just moving deck chairs around on the Titanic.
“Our ship is sinking. Our 60% increase in Medicaid over the past four years is the biggest budget line now, and it’s growing faster than any other. No other nation in the world has what we have here.
“No other nation has a chronic disease burden like we do. We have the highest chronic disease burden of any country in the world. During COVID, we had 16% of the COVID deaths in a country where we only have 4.2% of the world’s population. We had a higher death count than any country in the world.
“And when the CDC was asked why, they said it’s because Americans are the sickest people on earth. The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. This is an existential threat—economically, to our military, to our health, and to our sense of well-being.
“And it is a priority for President Trump. And that’s why he asked me to run the agency. And if I’m privileged to be confirmed, that’s exactly what I’ll do.”

Hilarity ensued when Elizabeth Warren inadvertently made Kennedy look GREAT with the perfect softball question.
WARREN: “You’re not going to take money from drug companies in any way, shape, or form?”
KENNEDY: “Who, me?”
WARREN: “Yes, you.”
KENNEDY: “Oh, yeah. I’m happy to commit to that.
“I don’t think any of them want to give me money, by the way.”
Warren desperately tried to paint Kennedy as someone who would use his position to enrich himself by suing pharmaceutical companies.
But she got a rude awakening when Sen. Mike Crapo pointed out that Kennedy’s potential conflicts of interest had ALREADY been thoroughly scrutinized before the hearing.
Sen. Bernie Sanders erupted and made it clear he wasn’t happy that Kennedy’s former nonprofit, Children’s Health Defense, was selling unvaxxed onesies for $26.
“ARE YOU SUPPORTIVE OF THESE ONESIES!?” Sanders shouted.
Of all things to get worked up about, this was a wild one.
One senator asked Kennedy if he was a “conspiracy theorist”—to which he replied with the perfect response, listing several “conspiracy theories” that turned out to be true.
Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) tried to corner Kennedy on Medicaid funding but ended up getting humiliated when Kennedy pointed out something wrong with his question.
LUJAN: “If President Trump asks you to cut Medicaid, will you do it?”
KENNEDY: “Oh, it’s not up to me to cut Medicaid. It would be up to Congress.”
LUJAN: (Laughs nervously) “Mr. Kennedy, you don’t want to answer? I’ll move on.”
As the hearing went on, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) couldn’t hide his admiration, telling Kennedy directly that God has a “divine purpose” for him.
“60% of Americans have a chronic disease. Mr. Kennedy, I believe for such a time as this that you’re not just one of 300 million people. I think that you are the person to lead HHS to make America healthy again. That God has a divine purpose for you. And I look forward to your confirmation in working with you to make America healthy again.”
Kennedy loosened up and started cracking jokes as Democrat Tina Smith (D-Minnesota) started stumbling over her own words. This exchange was hilarious.
TINA SMITH: “So do you believe, as you’ve said, that antidepressants cause school shootings?”
KENNEDY: “I don’t think anybody can answer that question… There’s no science on that.”
SMITH: “Well, there is, Senator. Excuse me, Mr. Kennedy.”
KENNEDY: “Thank you for the promotion.”
Who knew that Kennedy was this funny?
When day one of the hearing finally ended, the room erupted in thunderous applause. People shouted, “We love you, Bobby!”, making their support for his confirmation as HHS Secretary loud and clear.
Day two begins before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee on Thursday at 10:00 AM. It’s clear Americans want RFK Jr. in this role. Now it’s up to politicians to listen and Make America Healthy Again.
Now is the time to take action. Your senators work for YOU. Tell them to confirm RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary!
DISTURBING: A top lawyer who is suing Bill Gates and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla has been disappeared—snatched by paramilitary police and locked in a Dutch prison with no charges, no trial, and a total media blackout.
In a scene straight out of a dystopian thriller, Arno van Kessel was blindfolded, bound, and dragged from his home in a pre-dawn raid just weeks before his lawsuit was set to begin. His wife and daughter were reportedly held at gunpoint.
Two months later, van Kessel is still behind bars, accused of belonging to a “criminal network”—with no evidence against him ever presented.
Sound familiar? German lawyer Reiner Fuellmich was abducted under eerily similar circumstances while preparing the same kind of case. He remains imprisoned as well.
This is no coincidence—it’s a pattern. And it’s chilling.
Why are the lawyers going after COVID elites being disappeared?
The arrests are real. The silence is deafening. @zeee_media's report exposes what the media won’t dare touch.

In other news, YouTube announced a terrifying new system that could link your every online move to your real-world identity, ending internet anonymity forever in the United States.
They’re calling it “age assurance.” But don’t be fooled—this is a full-blown digital ID dragnet.
YouTube’s AI now monitors your behavior, video history, and account activity to guess your age. If it flags you as under 18, you’ll be forced to upload a government ID or credit card to stay online.
And it gets worse.
Australian Senator Malcolm Roberts just exposed global plans to expand these ID checks to Google Maps, Apple Maps, Bing, and more—all powered by biometric surveillance. Think face scans and motion tracking—even analyzing how you walk!
Apple already holds the patent, designed to verify your identity 24/7 using your body, clothes, and movements.
Once your face is tied to your speech, free expression is over. One wrong word, and they can shut you down with a click.
The digital control grid is already here. Will you submit—or fight back?

Senator Josh Hawley just introduced the PELOSI Act—a bill to BAN congressional stock trading.
But he sided AGAINST the Republicans to get it through.
Trump backed it…then turned on him.
Now he’s DEMANDING Pelosi be INVESTIGATED for insider trading—and accusing Hawley of playing right into Democrat hands.
🧵 THREAD
A political minefield cracked wide open in the Senate today.
Senator Josh Hawley introduced the PELOSI Act, a bill designed to bar members of Congress from owning or trading individual stocks.
It made it out of committee—but just barely—passing 8–7 after Hawley joined Democrats to break the tie.
This part is important to remember for the greater context.
The message he delivered wasn’t subtle.
“We have an opportunity here today to do something that the public has wanted us to do for decades,” he said.
“And that is to ban members of Congress from profiting on information—that frankly, only members of Congress have—in the buying and selling of stock.”
He pointed directly to the person the bill is named after.
“We’ve seen the former Speaker of the House make millions of dollars in profits,” Hawley said.
“The reason for all of this is that quite frankly, members of this body are privy to information that the normal person just is not.”
Then he backed it up with numbers.
“Eighty-six percent of Americans say that Congress should not be able to buy and sell shares of individual stock while they are members of this body.”
Just hours later, a reporter brought the issue to the White House, asking the president directly:
“Senator Hawley introduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from owning or trading individual stocks. That extends to the president and vice president. Are you in favor of that legislation?”
President Trump didn’t hesitate, but he didn’t fully commit either.
“Well, I like it conceptually,” he said.
“I don’t know about it, but I like it conceptually.”
Then he turned to Pelosi.
“You know, Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information,” he said.
“I think that’s disgraceful.”
But he still wanted time to dig into the details.
“In that sense, I’d like it,” he said, “but I’d have to really see the—you know, I study these things very carefully and this just happened.”
#10 - Chris Cuomo stunned as RFK Jr. delivers the PERFECT response to the claim that “autism rates are higher because of better diagnosis.”
This clip ENDS the debate. Play it for anyone still clinging to that excuse.
“If [autism] was just a matter of better diagnosis or better recognition, you would see it in older people. But you don’t. The epidemic is taking place in a specific generation—it’s kids born after 1989. That’s what you see,” Kennedy explained.
“You don’t see autism, one in every 31 people, my age. I’ve never seen somebody my age—71 years old—with full-blown autism,” he continued.
“You don’t see that... If it was anything other than an epidemic, why would you only see it in a SINGLE generation?”
Cuomo had no rebuttal. “Fair point,” he admitted.

#9 – Hero doctor who substituted saline for COVID shots per patient request has all charges against him DROPPED mid-trial.
Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr. was facing up to 35 years in prison for destroying over $28,000 worth of government-supplied COVID vaccine doses.
He administered saline instead of COVID vaccines to patients who requested it and issued vaccine cards so they could work, attend school, and avoid mandates.
Attorney General Pam Bondi stepped in and directed the dismissal of the case, stating that Moore “did not deserve the years in prison he was facing” and that he gave patients a choice when the federal government would not.
This is incredible news!
Dr. Moore is seen as a hero not only by his patients, but also by the PBD Podcast and figures like RFK Jr.
Kennedy previously wrote on X: “Dr. Moore deserves a medal for his courage and his commitment to healing!”
#8 - American Eagle has SOLD OUT of their "Good Genes" Jeans!
Once again, the woke Left's outlandish attacks have BACKFIRED!
RFK Jr. just called it a “SINISTER, SINISTER industry.”
He’s talking about 7-OH—a synthetic, legal opioid sold in vape shops and gas stations across America.
It’s fueling addiction and DESTROYING lives.
Secretary Kennedy knows that pain firsthand.
And what he said next could change everything for addiction in America:
“Our agencies have been asleep at the wheel for all of these other crises, and now we’re going to wake up, and we’re going to STOP this before it starts.”
🧵 THREAD
At HHS headquarters this morning, something rare happened: a government agency admitted the warning signs were there...and said they’re acting before it's too late.
Dr. Marty Makary, the FDA Commissioner, opened the press conference by announcing the agency’s plan to schedule 7-OH—short for 7-Hydroxymitragynine—as a controlled substance.
Right now, the synthetic opioid is still legal.
It’s being sold in vape shops and gas stations across the country, disguised as “herbal relief” or “energy boosters,” but the damage it’s causing is anything but subtle.
Makary was direct.
The agency is recommending immediate DEA action and releasing a public report to alert Americans to what 7-OH is, where it’s sold, and what it does.
“Today, the FDA is announcing that we are initiating action to recommend scheduling 7-OH as a controlled substance by the DEA.”
“We are also releasing a report on 7-OH to educate the public, including the other names it goes by.”
He called it an attempt to stop history from repeating itself—this time before another OxyContin-style epidemic takes hold.
“We need to be proactive so we don’t get blindsided again,” he said.
The next speaker was Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, and he made it personal.
“It’s an addiction that’s truly killing people,” he said.
“Because it leads them down a road that sometimes they’ll never recover from.”
You could tell from his tone, that this topic was deeply important to Sen. Mullin.
Then he turned toward Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., standing off to the side.
“We’ve known this was coming,” Mullin said.
“But this is the first time we’ve had someone at HHS who not only understands what this means—but is actually doing something about it.”
He paused.
“He understands addiction better than probably anyone in this room.”
Mullin described how the drug is being pushed—sold as “wellness,” labeled like candy, disguised to avoid regulation.
He didn’t beat around the bush: “They’re using every loophole they possibly can.”
He called the industry what it was: predatory.
And the packaging, he said, “looks like it came off the shelf of a cereal box.”
“This isn’t accidental. They know who they’re targeting.”
Then he turned back to Kennedy.
“Thank you. From my family—and every family that’s been through this—God bless you.”
It was both an honest and emotional moment.
Something was finally being done, and for American families struggling with addiction, they now had a fighter at HHS.
American cities are now lawless wastelands—where criminals roam free and the innocent suffer.
A man and woman were knocked out cold by THUGS in Cincinnati.
A mass shooting just rocked Manhattan in broad daylight.
Bill O’Reilly has a theory why this is allowed to happen.
The justice system isn’t broken by accident. It’s broken ON PURPOSE.
🧵 THREAD
By now, most of us have seen it.
It is the kind of video that makes your stomach turn.
A man and woman were BRUTALLY assaulted in the middle of downtown Cincinnati after a jazz festival by a gang of rabid THUGS.
The man was left motionless on the pavement. The woman’s head hit the concrete with such force she was knocked unconscious.
No one intervened. No police. No help.
Just a growing crowd and more violence.
The footage went viral.
Not just because of brutality, but because it captured something much deeper: the complete and TOTAL unraveling of public safety in American cities.
A sense that the ground has shifted.
This video is a symbol for America’s Mad Max era.
Vice President JD Vance saw the same video.
And unlike most politicians, he didn’t retreat behind vague statements or legalese.
He UNLEASHED on the thugs.
“What I saw was a mob of lawless thugs beating up on an innocent person, and it's disgusting,” he said.
“I hope every single one of those people who engage in violence is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
That word—“mob”—matters.
Because this wasn’t one person lashing out. It was a group.
Vance kept going.
“You had a grown man who sucker punched a middle-aged woman,” he continued.
“That person ought to go to jail for a very long time, and frankly he's lucky there weren't some better people around because they would have handled it themselves.”
That was a cultural alarm bell.
A warning that we are inching closer to a place where justice is no longer administered by the courts—but by desperate citizens who feel abandoned by them.
“We’ve had WAY TOO MUCH lawlessness,” Vance added.
“We’ve got to make great American cities safe again for families and children.”
His solution was clear: “The only way to destroy that street violence is to take the thugs who engage in that violence and throw their asses in prison.”
He’s the “vaccine expert” who ran from a $2 million offer to debate RFK Jr.
Now it’s 2025, and a mom of two asked him if she should keep taking COVID boosters.
His answer? Pure insanity.
But that wasn’t even the worst part of the interview.
🧵 THREAD
Dr. Peter Hotez recently had an uncomfortable moment during what started as a softball radio interview on Hello Houston.
Everything was going his way. The hosts hung on to his every word as if it were gospel.
Before the awkward moment, Celeste Diaz Schurman, a millennial mom of two, told Hotez she keeps getting bad cases of COVID despite taking three shots.
Hotez’s response? He essentially told Celeste those bad cases of COVID were HER FAULT for skipping the later COVID boosters.
CELESTE: “I’m getting COVID often. I took Paxlovid the third time, and then a few weeks later I got it again. COVID was really bad on me.”
HOTEZ: “After you had your first two immunizations way back in 2021, did you get boosters regularly?”
CELESTE: “I got one booster and then after that I stopped getting them.”
HOTEZ: “Yeah. So that’s the reason why you keep up with the boosters.”
But it gets worse. After scaring Celeste with talk of “long COVID,” Hotez told healthy listeners how to “skirt the rules” to keep getting more COVID boosters.
That convinced Celeste to say on air later that she was going straight to the pharmacy after speaking with Hotez.
CELESTE: “Now I’m petrified of long COVID. I am absolutely petrified of it.”
HOTEZ: “In my view, you should get the immunization. Now, the good news in this—if you look at that list that they put out in the New England Journal of Medicine—it’s a really long list, and it even says something like low physical activity. I certainly don’t want to give advice on how to skirt the rules, but it seems to me that if on Sunday afternoon, if you want to watch both the Cowboys and the Texans, that’s a long afternoon of not [moving to qualify for boosters].”
