Hear what he actually has said on his plans for helping clean up the corruption in our health agencies.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

The election just finished, and people haven't even taken office. We're still seeing appointments selected. People haven't even had a chance to get in. And the corporate media is already starting hit pieces. And first and foremost, on RFK Jr. And really, I want to say it's important that we have open debate around these things. We always should continue to hold people in power accountable. And free speech, open debate is how we got here.

And I think even if you sat down with any of these people, that are about to take positions of power, they would say, look, we ran on the idea of free speech in open media and we wanna get called out if we're not doing something that we said we were gonna do. So with that being said, I wanna go into this headline here that really kicked it off for me was if Trump puts RFK Jr. in charge of health,

get ready for a distorted reality where global health suffers. Well, Nostradamus had the conversation. Let's look at, I think it's important here to look at the words, because there are people that are just reading these headlines and doing a lot of pearl clutching and biting their nails and going, oh my God, global health is going to end.

We're all going to suffer disease outbreaks. And well, let's look at what RFK actually put. This is what he posts on X shortly after the election. President Trump has asked me to do three things. Clean up the corruption in our government-held agencies. Number two, return those agencies to the rich tradition of gold standard evidence-based science. Number three, make America healthy again by ending the chronic disease epidemic. Well, that doesn't sound too crazy.

That doesn't sound like the health, dark. archages. No, don't do those things. You know what that's going to be? God forbid we clean up the regulatory agencies. And anybody reading past the basic corporate media headlines knows the information behind those statements, knows there's problems and there's reasons why those statements are being made because a lot of people want to see these cleaned up.

And so RFK Jr. was interviewed shortly after the election, kind of caught a canon moment, and he said this about the FDA. Take a listen. Donald Trump has said that he would put you in charge of the public health. agencies. What exactly does that look like? Well, he's been very specific and what he said, he wants me to do three things. One, clean up the corruption of the agencies, particularly the conflicts of interests that have turned those agencies into captive agencies for the pharmaceutical industry and the other, the food industry, the other industries that they're supposed to be

regulating. Number two, to return those agencies to the gold standard science, the empirically based evidence-based medicine that they were famous for when I was a kid. And number three, to make America healthy again, to end the chronic disease epidemic. And President Trump has told me that he wants to see measurable concrete results within two years in terms of a measurable diminishment in chock chronic disease among America's kids. So there he is, in his own words, and this is what he's saying, this is what he's doing. And he goes on to say that, you know, there might be a. department or two in the FDA that needs to have some serious cutting involved in it just because

they're not looking out for for the health of our children and so right after the election you saw the corporate media go to work primary CNN and they put out this headline here Trump campaign quietly distance itself from RFK Jr after new vaccine safety comments it says however there is disquite in a trump team about media attention on the former independent candidate after he was pressed in a post-election interview with NBC about his vaccine skepticism. Mr. Kennedy said that he would seek to fix the huge deficits in vaccine safety, but clarified, we're not going to take vaccines away from anybody. According to CNN, a source close to Mr. Trump, who we don't know, says CNN, said that this is not what we want people focused on today.

So the CNN is already creating division here within this campaign because who? A source. What source? We don't know, but trust us, there's division. Yeah, I mean, look, that's what they do. They're spin machines. They, you know, any way they can, they'll take whatever side they can to try and upset the issue. But, you know, they've all been on attack from the very beginning. This is obviously an issue, and we've talked about it, talked about it last week, the fact that Robert Kennedy Jr. was working on cleaning up corruption and the Democratic Party, when he was running in that party last year, two years ago, wanted no part of him, didn't want any part of someone that wanted to clean up the corruption. So, you know,

but I mean, look, it seems like President Trump is making statements himself that are equally as strong, if not stronger than what Bobby Kennedy is saying. So I think that this is just a part of trying to create unrest, as you're saying, across the country. You know, I've covered Kennedy for several years, almost a decade in his speeches and his conferences. And he's saying nothing, he has said nothing different. He's saying the same thing as he's always been saying. And what I think the media. has a problem with is they were able to label him and neutralize him as anti-vaxxer and be done with it. But now he's actually saying that same message to bigger audiences, and that seems to be what

they have a problem with. And here's the Hill. RFK Jr.'s new bully pulpit sends public health shockwaves. Well, what kind of shock waves? Why are they scared? Let's listen to a recent speech by RFK Jr. at a conference he's being interviewed here by Dr. Phil. And he goes on to extrapolate a little bit more, or just to give people a better idea of what those shockwaves may look like. Take a listen. NIH has a $42 billion budget and just for scientific research. And it distributes that budget among 56,000 scientists at universities mainly across the United States. And those scientists have been working on new drugs to treat chronic disease that can be turned

into weaponized by the pharmaceutical industry to serve their profit ambitions. And we're going to go in at day one, and we're going to change the focus of this agency. And we're going to find out what is causing the chronic disease epidemic. For 30 years, CDC and NIH have looked at this autism epidemic and say, we don't know what's, we know it's not vaccines.

We don't know what's causing it. Well, we're going to find out what's causing it. We're going to do that in a couple of months. And once you have the science out there, and you can tell the truth to the American public, two things happen. One is you give people choice. We're not taking choice away from anybody.

If you want to eat Dunkin' Donuts or packaged foods, you should be able to do that. You're an American. But we're going to give you the information. We're going to make them put it on the label. This is going to cost 88. You know, it's amazing. You know, it's amazing. I was just interviewed recently by Wall Street Journal, ABC, on this issue because of the great work that I can is done here.

And, of course, I was Director of Communications for Robert Kennedy throughout his campaign. But what I said to them, you know, I said, I don't understand, you know, why anyone would have a problem with Robert Kennedy's agenda to make, you know, things transparent again and to focus these incredible, the greatest body of scientists in the world on actually answering questions instead of making. drugs. I mean, we are the home of Apple, of Microsoft. We have AI now. I don't even think it'd take a couple months. It probably take a few hours if you created the right query into, for instance, the VSD, the Vaccine Safety Data Link has 10 million people in it. Let's just start, you know, cross-referencing and asking questions. Here's the vaccinated, here's the completely unvaccinated, who has more cancer, who has more diabetes? We've said this over and over again. And I also said recently in one of these interviews, you know, American people want transparency. I, you know, I can sued and got the Pfizer

data so that, you know, the world could see, you know, how the trials went for the COVID vaccine. But our country was supposed to give it to us without a lawsuit. We shouldn't have to spend millions of dollars and have the FDA tell us, we're going to wait 75 years to let you see the data. By the way, that scared the hell out of the judge himself who probably had the vaccine. I'm not waiting 75 years to find out what I just injected in my body. And what I'm saying to, you know, these reporters and what Bobby's saying ultimately is this government works for us. That's our vaccine. We funded that with our own taxpayer dollars. You work for us. I'm your boss. Show me the damn studies. Show me how you're going to do the next study. And we're going to weigh in on how we actually

want that study to be done for a product we're paying for. And then ultimately, we might end up taking. And by the way, we want informed consent. You're going to tell us all the side effects that exist. How often maybe they exist because you're going to start doing that science too. Look, I think the mainstream media is just totally out over the tips of its skis like it has been for a long time. But what they haven't recognized is this game is over. This mantra, if you will, that vaccines are perfectly safe and perfectly, you know, effective, died with COVID. It died a horrible death.

But now they are just sticking with the program to try and. and convince people that you don't really want that information, do you? I mean, it's a losing argument. It's a losing battle right now. And it's awesome to see these conversations happening. And I have to say it's awesome to be in the middle of these interviews now in the biggest newspapers and news agencies in the world. They know, you know, their hair is on fire.

I can say it right now. And you're right. What he's describing in that clip is, I'm just going to try to give people full informed consent. That's all I'm doing. Right. And what the corporate media doesn't understand is after the COVID response, informed consent became a very popular idea throughout the world. People thought, wait a minute, there's more to the story than safe and effective with this emergency vaccine treatment that's being mandated. I kind of want

to know about that. So is my family. So the headlines, it's interesting because the headlines are starting to quiet down a little bit because the anti-vaxxer is going to end all vaccines. We're never going to have any, but this is what he said in NPR and this is published and picked up everywhere. It's his, RFK Jr. discusses role, but potential role in the Trump administration and health policy vision. So this reporter just hit him right with this one. How quickly will you act on federal support for vaccines or research on vaccines? And he says this, I'll work immediately on that. That'll be one of my priorities to make sure that Americans, of course, we're not going to take vaccines away from anybody. He says that time and time again. He says, we are going to make sure

that Americans have good information right now. The science on vaccine safety particularly has huge deficits and we're going to make sure those scientific studies are done and that people can make informed choices about their vaccinations and their children's vaccinations. I'm not sure why people can't get behind that. Everyone has their own choice and that's fine, but it seems like a very basic statement and something that, you know, maybe people thought, weren't we always doing this? No, we weren't always doing this. And it's time to actually do it. So this is something that's very new for this country and for the medical industry. But what we're also seeing is potential other areas that, you know, if RFK Jr. gets into these positions or a position, that we could

see more transparency. This was brilliantly talked about by Ram Paul recently on Fox News. Take a listen. All right. We are very hopeful that Robert Kennedy will have a big influence in the administration. We're very hopeful that whoever will be head of health and human services will now reveal the documents I've been trying to get for three years. NIH and HHS have refused to turn over the documents as to why Wuhan got this research money and why it wasn't screened as dangerous research. Those documents exist and they won't give them to me. I think a friendly Trump administration will.

I'm looking forward to getting those, mainly because we need to try to make sure this doesn't happen again. I mean, I can tell you personally that is a huge issue for Robert Kennedy. I mean, the gain of function, we got to get on top of that. He doesn't like it. I don't think Rand Paul is going to have any trouble finally getting those documents. And again, why has it been so difficult for him to get? And he works in our government.

The fact that he can't even get access to understanding how to get funded, what's going, what are we electing these people for? I mean, honestly, what are we electing them for if we actually live in some sort of authoritarian government that's allowed to deny our representatives? access to the, as I said, things that we're funding and paying for. It's so out of balance. And Rand Paul, I think, is going to be a great part of this whole team in the way transparency and, you know, the power to the people returns.
