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 Image
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!

Go to senate.gov/senators/senat…, find your senator, and send your message today.

SIDE NOTE: The senators who were the most hostile towards RFK Jr. were—you guessed it—the ones receiving the most Pharma dollars.

A lot of hidden money went into a media campaign to stop RFK, and those senators were simply repeating its talking points.

Retired Green Beret @DocPeteChambers just announced he’s running for Texas Governor, vowing to issue arrest warrants for those who have committed crimes against humanity—starting with Anthony Fauci.

He says he witnessed vaccine injuries firsthand among his own soldiers and is determined to hold the architects of the COVID pandemic accountable, no matter how powerful they are.

“They will be afraid to come into Texas,” he warned.

🧵 THREADImage
Doc Pete Chambers is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, Special Forces Green Beret and physician who has dedicated his life to defending freedom and serving others from combat zones to the Texas border.

Doc has always shown up where leadership is needed most. Over the weekend, he stunned the country and the world when he announced that he's running for governor of Texas.

If elected governor, he promises to go after those who have committed crimes against humanity. His first target? Anthony Fauci.

Needless to say, people are very keen to hear from Doc Pete Chambers. He joins us to detail why Texas desperately needs a new governor, and why he is the only man for the job.
Chambers didn’t hold back, warning of an “invasion on the border” that he said was destabilizing Texas and threatening the entire nation.

He called Texas “the first domino” in a crisis spreading north, driven by cartels, gangs, and a public that had lost all trust in government.

“We have a demoralized if you will, or disenfranchised populace that doesn't believe in their government anymore,” he explained.

If elected governor, Chambers vowed to act on day one with an executive order—refusing to wait on Washington—to enforce “constitutionally driven” state policies designed to stop the chaos.

He insisted there was a “myriad of things” he could do immediately to secure Texas, framing his plan as a decisive stand against federal inaction.

If you thought what they did to ivermectin was bad, wait till you hear what they did to this drug.

In the 1960s and 70s, DMSO was hailed as a medical breakthrough for its ability to erase chronic pain and heal debilitating injuries.

But there was one problem…

Because DMSO couldn’t be patented, it threatened to replace lucrative NSAIDs and painkillers with a cheap cure.

Later, the FDA declared DMSO “dangerous” and let Big Pharma keep selling toxic painkillers instead.

DMSO has been shown to treat everything from pain and arthritis to nerve damage, inflammation, and even cataracts.

Find out how this one cheap cure became medicine’s best-kept secret.

🧵 THREADImage
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) isn’t just a chemical solvent—it’s a medical game-changer.

It can erase chronic pain, speed up healing, calm autoimmune flares, and treat arthritis, strokes, spinal cord injuries, and more.

No wonder it once swept through America like wildfire. Image

Yes, they were all wrong.

In spectacular fashion.

Victor Davis Hanson just DISMANTLED the so-called “experts” who’ve been wrong about Trump’s policies at every turn.

He dropped three brutal examples that leave no room for doubt—and ended with this warning to the media elites:

“You should try to shed your Trump Derangement Syndrome, because it's really affecting your powers of judgment and analysis, and you're going to lose readers.”

🧵 THREADImage
Victor Davis Hanson has a message for the media and the self-anointed “experts” who’ve spent years forecasting disaster under Trump: look at the record.

In his eyes, their failures weren’t honest miscalculations but an unwillingness to admit they simply didn’t understand the country, or the president that they were so eager to condemn.

“I want to talk about our so-called experts,” he began, setting the tone for his argument with a reference to the infamous letter signed by intelligence veterans.

“We know they've been wrong when they sign these collective letters, 51 intelligence authorities assured us Hunter's laptop was pretty much made up in Russia.”

It wasn’t, he argued, an isolated misfire.

Hanson accused major outlets of embracing analyses that fell apart under the weight of real events.

“Recently, in some of the marquee newspaper sites, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, of course, the New York Times, they made a series of statements by so-called experts that are absolutely confounded by reality.”

He was setting the stage for a bigger argument: that these repeated failures weren’t simply about being wrong.

They were about refusing to see what was right in front of their own eyes.
That stubbornness, Hanson argued, was especially obvious when it came to Iran.

The recent strikes on uranium enrichment facilities provided a textbook case of the media seizing on convenient narratives while ignoring evidence that didn’t fit.

“Let's take Iran,” he said, describing how reports downplayed the strikes’ effectiveness.

“We get all of these stories that the combined Israel and the later United States strikes on the three key sites of uranium enrichment and around may not have done very much.”

Much of that spin, he claimed, came from a single Pentagon leak describing “marginal damage”—a version of events many outlets picked up without question.

But the reality, he insisted, was harder to deny for anyone who looked at the photos.

“Anybody who looked at the post operation panel, photographs could see that there was substantial damage.”

It wasn’t just his opinion.

“David Albright, one of the most prestigious, an analyst of nuclear proliferation. He said there was serious damage.”

He cited similar assessments from the IAEA’s Mr. Grossi and Israeli intelligence, while the press clung to the one leak that fit their angle.

And the real twist? Hanson highlighted what he saw as absurd hypocrisy in how the threat was framed before and after the strikes.

“The left told us before there was no need to strike Iran because they were months or years away from developing a bomb,” he said.

Yet once the facilities were hit, the same voices panicked about the danger of rapid enrichment.

“They said, oh my gosh, there might be uranium that could be quickly enriched.”

Even some of Trump’s own supporters, Hanson argued, weren’t immune to overreaction.

“The same thing, the same inexactitude, is true of the reaction to the, around war,” he said, recalling grim forecasts of “30,000 people killed, could cause World War Three.”

But the real story was anticlimactic in a way no one seemed eager to admit.

“We were in Iranian airspace for about 25 minutes. No Americans were killed. Probably very few if any Iranians were killed.”

Trump negotiated a ceasefire almost immediately.

And when Iran retaliated by launching missiles at a US base in Qatar, Hanson noted it was “22 year old, 23 year old skeleton crews” manning Patriot batteries who intercepted them without issue.

“Trump did not reply. End of story. No World War Three, no 30,000 killed, no endless wars.”

10 Shocking Stories the Media Buried Today

#10 - New pre-print study finds 43% INCREASE in fetal loss when vaccinated early in pregnancy for COVID.

Expected baseline: 9 fetal losses per 100 pregnancies.
Observed result: 13 fetal losses per 100 pregnancies.

That means that 3.85 ADDITIONAL unborn babies resulted in stillbirth or miscarriage than what was expected.

Study co-author @joshg99 confirmed the results to @Johnincarlisle:

“There are about four (3.85) additional fetal losses per 100 pregnancies for women who vaccinated with a COVID vaccine for the first dose from weeks 8 to 13.”

What’s even more alarming is @joshg99 warns the stillborn or miscarriage risk could even HIGHER when accounting for healthy vaccine bias.

He explains: “If the women vaccinated early for Covid are similar to the women vaccinated for influenza ... then that means that it’s not 3.85 or 4 additional. It’s almost 9 additional fetal losses.”

This is a catastrophic and downright criminal result.

#9 - RFK Jr. tells Tucker Carlson the CDC buried its own internal study showing a 1135% INCREASE in autism risk from hepatitis B vaccination.

The researchers were alarmed and shocked by the results before deciding to cover it up.

How did they do it?

“They got rid of all the older children essentially and just had younger children who are too young to be diagnosed [with autism],” Kennedy explained.

Imagine discovering evidence of catastrophic harm and making sure no one ever found out.

Evil.
#8 – @charliekirk11 exposes Zohran Mamdani as the ultimate fake populist and leftist fraud.

He writes:

“Zohran Mamdani has an Ivy [League] professor dad and a famous director mom. He knows how to eat with utensils. But he chooses to eat rice with his bare hands to signal that he is from the Third World and isn't Western. It's a calculated stunt, just like him constantly changing his accent. Honestly, that's a lot worse and more disturbing than if he just authentically ate that way. One is backwards. The other shows his contempt for our culture.”

RFK Jr. Unloads Disturbing Vaccine Secrets on Tucker—And Surprises Everyone on Trump

This conversation will shock you, challenge what you thought you knew, and then lift your spirits.

Kennedy’s three-minute take on Trump is among the most compelling things you’ll watch today.

🧵 THREADImage
It’s not every day an active HHS Secretary sits down for 90 minutes straight with Tucker Carlson.

But that’s exactly what happened, and Kennedy instantly seized Carlson’s attention with a chilling story of CDC corruption.

He revealed that the health agency buried a 1999 internal study led by researcher Thomas Verstraten, which showed an alarming 1135% increase in autism risk from the hepatitis B vaccine.

Kennedy said the researchers were “shocked” by the findings.

So what did they do? They covered it up, according to Kennedy.

“They got rid of all the older children essentially and just had younger children who are too young to be diagnosed [with autism].”
RFK Jr. then explained the real reason why your pediatrician will kick you out of their practice for refusing vaccines.

“There’s a published article out there now that says that 50% of revenues to most pediatricians come from vaccines.”

It’s all about the money. The higher the vaccination rate, the bigger the bonus.

“And that’s why your pediatrician, if you say I want to go slow on the vaccines… will throw you out of his practice because you’re now jeopardizing that bonus structure.”

$14.6 billion.

It was the single biggest healthcare fraud bust in Department of Justice history.

Trump’s administration is actually fighting back against the criminals who loot our system and steal your tax dollars.

And you won’t believe who the DOJ says is behind it all—they're not even from the America.

🧵 THREADImage
It was a bombshell that came out of left field.

Both Trump and Kennedy had promised to tackle the waste, fraud and abuse in healthcare, today they were delivering on that promise.

This morning, The Justice Department announced the LARGEST healthcare fraud takedown in its history, a sweeping operation that officials say marks a new era in fighting corruption in America’s healthcare system.

At the heart of this unprecedented crackdown is $14.6 billion in alleged fraudulent claims—a staggering figure that pinpoints just how vulnerable taxpayer-funded programs like Medicare and Medicaid have become.

Matthew Galeotti, chief of the DOJ’s criminal division, described the moment as a turning point.

“Thank you all for joining us today as we announce the largest coordinated healthcare fraud takedown in the history of the Department of Justice,” he said, calling it “a decisive moment in our fight to protect American taxpayers from fraudsters and to defend the integrity of America's healthcare system.”

The charges span 324 defendants across the country, accused of orchestrating elaborate schemes to siphon billions in false claims.

Galeotti laid out the sheer scope of the operation:

“We are announcing, today, charges against 324 defendants for their alleged participation in healthcare fraud schemes, involving approximately $14.6 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid and other healthcare programs.”
This is where it gets even wilder.

The DOJ says these aren’t just small-time scams and the perpetrators are not even American.

They've been tracking transnational criminal organizations exploiting the American healthcare system on a massive scale.

Russian and Pakistani fraudsters were among those accused of literally siphoning money from American taxpayers. Galeotti laid out the alarming details.

“We are seeing a disturbing trend of transnational criminal organizations engaging in increasingly sophisticated and complex criminal schemes that defraud the American healthcare system.”

“As part of this takedown, we've identified and charged defendants operating from Russia, Eastern Europe, Pakistan, and other foreign countries.”

“These individuals have infiltrated our healthcare system to steal American taxpayer dollars.”

One scheme was particularly audacious.

“We dismantled a scheme involving a sophisticated operation run from Russia and Eastern Europe that strategically bought dozens of medical supply companies in the United States and submitted more than $10 billion in fraudulent healthcare claims to Medicare.”

It was more than just money lost, it was personal.

Galeotti revealed the chilling human cost.

“To make matters worse, these perpetrators used the stolen identities of more than 1 million Americans, spanning all 50 states, to perpetrate this scheme and submit these false claims.”

He closed with some relief for taxpayers.

“But I'm pleased to report that federal agents intercepted and arrested key members of that organization at U.S. airports and the US-Mexico border, cutting off their intended escape routes.”
