The Highwire with Del Bigtree - MEDICAL FREEDOM MAKES HISTORY

Episode Date: January 27, 2025

Medical freedom made history this week with the very first inaugural ball dedicated to the movement. Many of the OG’s of the medical freedom movement, as well as a who’s who of health and wellness were in attendance at the MAHA Inaugural Ball, held at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

We had an amazing experience over the weekend. We had the inauguration of the new president, Donald Trump, returning to the White House. And I guess the second time a president has ever been in the White House in unconstructive terms. So very, very interesting moment, historical moment. And of course, what made it really exciting for those of us that have been in medical freedom is that for the first time ever in Washington, D.C., medical freedom health, holistic health had its own ball. It was called the Maha ball and

CNN covered it like this. This is the Maha ball, which is the Make America Healthy Again party. Thrown in honor of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is President Trump's pick to lead the Department of HHS. There's about 800 people here who are some of his biggest supporters from health and wellness influencers to big conservative stars. A Maha ball is like one of the, you know, the biggest balls here in town. We are literally of a thousand people on a waiting list right now. Maha was born when Kennedy ended his presidential campaign and joined forces with Trump.

Don't you want a president that's going to make America healthy again? Trump's inauguration put the Maha agenda on its biggest stage yet. Together we will end the chronic disease epidemic and keep our children safe, healthy, and disease Free. Him specifically calling out fixing the chronic disease issue. I cheered from my seat. Bonnie Hari isn't a medical professional, but she's built an audience of over 2 million followers on Instagram as The Food Babe.

She was an Obama delegate in 2012, but spent this weekend with Trump's picks to lead health. The people I've been meeting with have been unreal. Is this the first time that health and wellness influencers have had the ear of the president? in this way? Yes. I was radicalized during the pandemic. I was greatly disturbed and confused about mandating a vaccine for everyone to take. That led me to start diving deeper into corruption in pharma and in food.

And that's really a lot of conservative female's story. Alex Clark doesn't have a formal background in food science or medicine, but hosts a popular podcast on health and wellness for the conservative youth group Turning Point. What are your top things you want to see? happen. You know, the next 100 days, the next four years. We're going to completely revamp public school lunch and we're going to get pharmaceutical ads off of TV. We have to address this fundamental, unethical, hypocritical issue of American companies. We need an America-first standard with our own American food companies. Poison is not partisan. A recent poll found some of

RFK's positions are resonating. Nearly half of Americans see chemicals or unsafe food additives as a risk. But there's far less support for policies he's advocated like removing fluoride from water or ending vaccine requirements in public schools. I'm not any vaccine. I just want good science. I want people should be able to make informed choices. I am against vaccine mandate. Close to 20,000 doctors have signed an open letter saying the Senate should not confirm Kennedy. They'd said he's unqualified, actively dangerous. Now, I don't know what these 17,000 doctors do. somebody someone should audit that list. Del Bigtree was Kennedy's communications director

during his presidential campaign and is now the CEO of Maha Action. How do you lead people who are scared of you and what you might do? You don't do dramatic and drastic things that's scared of. The news has made Bobby seem scary. No one's taking anything away from anyone. He's not coming for any one thing.

He's coming for transparency. I don't understand what they're scared about. What is wrong with saying, we want to make sure that every single vaccine on the schedule is completely foolproof, that there's evidence that these are working, that these are necessary. We are the sickest country in the developed world. So the worst thing we could possibly do is more of the same.

This movement is unstoppable. We have had this pent-up frustration that we have not been heard from our government leaders, and for the first time we are being amplified, and it gives us an electrification that could not be measured. And it's important, you know, for me to note that this issue of child vaccine schedule and the safety and efficacy of vaccines comes up repeatedly in this maha sphere. But the agencies that Kennedy is slated to lead, if confirmed, you know, the Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC state unequivocally that they are safe and effective and scientifically proven to be better than the alternative. Well, I mean, that's CNN.

And we play that reticently, but that is honestly the best report. we've ever had from CNN when it comes to this conversation, medical freedom of science around vaccinations. Just a little behind the scenes. Obviously, I was interviewed in that. I think the reporter asked me six or seven times to explain, you know, how people are going to be afraid, what we're going to do about people being afraid once we took vaccines off the schedule or removed vaccines. First of all, I said, I have nothing to do with that. Robert Kennedy Jr. is going to do. He's going to but it's all about transparency. I said that I believe that what Robert Kennedy Jr. is saying is going to do is just show you the science behind the vaccines,

the double-blind placebo experiments that were not done. I even show the reporter the hepatitis B vaccine online. I said, here it is. FDA online. Here's how you looked it up. I showed her how to look it up. I said here is where it says five-day safety trial, no placebo's. You can do this in the next 30 minutes of every vaccine here. I said, I hope I don't hear you say.

say that it's safe when I just showed you that there's no placebo trial. She went on to say that anyway. I guess she's forced to do that. So maybe she'll want to work for the highway if she ever wants to just fully deliver the truth someday. But this is where we're at. This is an amazing moment where media covered. There was Vogue articles and Fox and so many different reporters covered the Mahabal. Very, very exciting. And all the who's who of holistic health and fitness and well-ne. and nutrition, all in one building, many of the OGs of the vaccine risk awareness movement. I won't, there's a picture you can see. I won't even attempt to name some because I'll miss some, but it was really a truly

spectacular night. And of course, all in celebration of making America healthy again and the idea of, you know, of all of us excited about the prospect. There's Dr. Oz, who's the choice by Kennedy for CMS. and of course Robert Kennedy Jr., HHS secretary. And speaking of that, which is what, you know, we've all, that moment we've been waiting for, it actually is happening. The hearings begin this week.

So I just want to let you know right here on the high wire. Articles have gone out Wednesday and Thursday of this week on Wednesday. The Commerce Committee on Finance, Congressional Committee on Finance in the Dirksen Senate Office building. there it is you can grab that QR code it begins at 10 a.m. My understanding is the next day, probably around the same time there will be the committee in front of the health committee. All of this is being broadcast, but I'm telling you right now, this is a historic moment. I know people are flying in from all over the country. I would recommend to you that if that's something you want to do, you probably want to book your flights and your hotels right now.

that is going to be probably the most anticipated cabinet hearing, I would guess, in our lifetime. So much riding on it, so much around it. Highwire, you will be, if you aren't able to get to, or don't decide to go to Washington, D.C., the high wire will be broadcasting the feed live both Wednesday and Thursday. Next week, while that live feed is streaming, we will come on and do a special report from ICAN legislate, which is our C-FET. our C3 can't cover this issue because I guess it's legislative. We've been talking to lawyers all morning, but we will broadcast on the platform on Thursday. We'll interject and reflect on some of the things that we saw in the day before.

So it should be really, really fascinating, interesting. I'm going to be in Washington, D.C. to report on all of that. So again, for anyone out there, let's bring up the QR code again, if you want to be there for that hearing. These are, I think, first come first serve seats. No one, as I understand, is able to reserve a seat. I know people are planning back in the halls. There's other groups that are going to be having viewing parties all over Washington, D.C. But there's the QR code if you want to be a part of that historic moment.

Change is upon us, ladies and gentlemen.
