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.”

While you’re here, don’t forget to follow (@VigilantFox) and hit the bell 🔔 for more threads like this one.

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.

EXCLUSIVE: Top Forecaster Issues a Grim Prediction for Europe and NATO

Yesterday, Russia cut off peace talks with the West after Ukraine struck multiple airbases housing nuclear-capable bombers.

Martin Armstrong warned this was coming—and what he says comes next is even worse.

🧵 THREAD

You might remember we recently covered top economic forecaster Martin Armstrong’s dire prediction—not just about Ukraine falling, but about the collapse of Europe itself.

Back then, it looked like President Trump might be making some diplomatic progress. But that didn’t last long.

Ukraine tried to assassinate President Putin. Trump issued a chilling warning that “bad things… REALLY BAD” could soon happen to Russia. And just hours before peace talks were set to resume in Istanbul, Ukraine launched strategic drone strikes on multiple Russian nuclear bases.

Russia responded by cutting off negotiations. And across Europe, the drums of war are beating louder, with major nations reinstituting military drafts.

Martin Armstrong saw this coming. He’s with us today—and his warning is now unfolding in real time.

Armstrong opened the conversation with a blunt take.

If he were in Putin’s position, he said, he wouldn’t agree to any peace deal. Because in his view, Europe has already declared war, just without saying it out loud.

Poland is training its citizens for combat. Germany is calling up men as old as 60. And, as Armstrong put it, “Europe knows it’s in trouble and instead of reforming, they need an external enemy.” That enemy, he said, is Putin.

He criticized European leaders for escalating the conflict while pretending to seek peace, and said China isn’t fooled.

“This is a war against NATO,” he said. The media may claim it’s still just Ukraine vs. Russia, but Armstrong believes the global fault lines have already shifted.

“Why would you agree to a peace deal when every European country is against you?” he asked. “China… knows this is not a war with Ukraine anymore. This is a war against NATO.”

🔥 Karoline Leavitt just dropped the hammer.

An Egyptian national—let in under Biden’s open border—set Americans on fire in Boulder, Colorado.

Now she’s calling for a nation-wide crackdown:

No more unvetted illegals. No more terror attacks on American soil.

And her warning to immigrants couldn’t be clearer:

“It is a privilege, not a right, to enter the United States of America.”

🧵 THREAD

An act of terrorism in Boulder has thrust Biden’s border bloodbath back into the spotlight.

Authorities say 45-year-old Egyptian national Mohamad Sabry Soliman launched a targeted firebomb attack injuring six elderly people.

But this isn’t just about one man. It’s about how he got here—and why he was still here.

Today, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt placed the blame squarely on immigration policy failures.

“This terrorist came into our country under the previous administration,” she said.

“Joe Biden's administration foolishly gave him a tourist visa, and that allowed him to unlawfully remain in our country.”

Soliman didn’t sneak across a border—he overstayed a visa. And under current policy, that was enough to remain.

“This individual should have been deported. Instead, he was welcomed here.”

Three years later, that decision had real-world consequences.

“And now, three years later, after coming to this country under Joe Biden's administration, he is lighting Jewish people on fire who were simply trying to peacefully pay respect to the hostages in Israel.”

Leavitt called it what it was: a preventable act of terrorism.

“This absolutely is an act of targeted terrorism,” she said.

“The FBI and the Department of Justice are investigating it as such, and the president is going to ensure that this individual is held to the fullest extent of the law.”

And her message didn’t stop with one attacker.

“Not just this individual,” she warned, “but any individual, especially illegal criminals who engage in acts of terrorism, will be held accountable under this president.”

As more disturbing details come to the surface, the failures in the immigration system became harder to ignore.

Fox News’ Sandra Smith reported that Soliman had 14 unlit Molotov cocktails with him when arrested—and that he proudly confessed, telling police he’d do it again.

“He knew they were there,” Smith said. “He targeted them.”

And this wasn’t someone hiding in the shadows.

Soliman was known to federal immigration authorities. Yet somehow, he was still in the country.

So Smith asked the obvious: “How do we make sure there are not more people like that out there in our streets in this country? How do we keep people safe?”

Meet Dr. Peter Marks.

Peter has some dirty secrets he doesn’t want you to know.

As the former head of the FDA’s vaccine division, he forced through a failed drug that KILLED a teenager, after three separate FDA teams said NO.

But that’s not all. He ignored the suffering of vaccine-injured patients who begged him for help—then MOCKED them behind closed doors.

When RFK Jr. took over HHS, Marks suddenly resigned.

What was he running from?

Corruption 101: Bureaucracies Protect the Guilty

The FDA’s structure protects bad actors. No one takes personal responsibility, and careers are built by serving the system—not the people.

As former Pfizer exec Peter Rost said: the pharma industry operates like the mob—but with better PR.

And while Anthony Fauci was often blamed for everything that went “wrong” during the COVID-19 response, a lesser-known figure within the FDA bureaucracy was directly responsible for much of the damage.

Bill Maher just got steamrolled on his own show.

For years, he’s pushed the narrative that Trump was responsible for January 6—but today, he met his match.

David Mamet, the legendary playwright, torched Maher’s lies about Trump and the 2020 election.

Then Mamet dropped a line that stopped Maher dead in his tracks: “You’re full of sh*t.”

🧵 THREAD

📍 Bookmark this thread—the floodgates on what really happened in 2020 are cracking wide open.

Let’s roll the clips and break it all down.

David Mamet didn’t come to play nice.

The legendary playwright—one of the few in Hollywood to openly support Donald Trump—sat down with Bill Maher on Club Random and wasted no time lighting the place up.

Right out of the gate, Maher made it clear he wasn’t happy with Mamet’s politics.

But Mamet wasn’t rattled.

In fact, he had a story locked and loaded that stopped Maher in his tracks.

“I was on your show when you said, are you implying that the election was stolen? And I was kind of iffy on it,” Mamet recalled.

Then came the twist.

“Next morning, 8:00, the phone rings. Woman on the phone says, ‘Mr. Mamet, what will you hold for the president?’ I said wait a second, Biden’s calling?—It’s Trump.”

“He says: ‘David, it’s Donald Trump.’ I say, oh, hello Mr. President, thank you for calling, to what do I owe the honor?”

“He said, ‘I saw you on Bill Maher yesterday. You were great.’ He said, ‘but you wussed out on the question of the stolen election.’ And then he talked to me for like 20 minutes about how the election was stolen.”

Maher quickly cut in: “But it wasn’t.”

Mamet didn’t flinch: “Well, I think it was.”

Maher was not expecting that.

The vaccine narrative is collapsing in real time.

Dr. Marty Makary just walked into enemy territory—CBS—and took on Margaret Brennan over the CDC’s vaccine guidance.

She pushed the usual Big Pharma spin. But Makary came armed with facts—and fire.

Then he dropped a term for the CDC’s vaccine panel that no one will forget.

🧵 THREAD

On Tuesday, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered a historic course correction from the Biden-era vaccine policy.

Standing alongside NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, Kennedy announced that COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women were officially removed from the CDC’s immunization schedule.

“Hi, everybody. I’m Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., your HHS secretary. And I’m here today with NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary. I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that, as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule.”

It was an unmistakable shift away from coercive one-size-fits-all medicine, and a clear signal that data, not politics, is now leading the conversation.
