bobby kennedy -- i think politically democrats -- i think bobby kennedy and donald trump will reclaimntalism. i think the whole point of the spiritual dynamics are connection between the earth and us through carbon credits is totally broken and bankrupt. it's obviously just been a totally corrupt griff. i think what were generative farming is we are just not respecting the cycles of our crops and our soil, were generative farming, not industrial farming which bill gates is trying to do with long rows of crops and pesticides because of this unnatural process but it's easy to mechanize. it's where animals and plants and you know vegetables are already growing together in an ecosystem that produces natural fertilizers and sequesters carbon. the problem with co2 emissions is when you have industrial farming where animals are in pens and actually raised as they are supposed to be in a dynamic ecosystem and it actually is carbon sequestering, the cows don't produce co2 emissions. so this is something bobby kennedy is talked about a lot. we need to get out of this idea of quantifying carbon

bobby kennedy looking into that very seriously. maybe it's not necessary to use all of that. we spend more money on food than anybody else but we are not the healthiest country so maybe there is something to the fact that we shouldn't be using so much, and maybe that will stop and bobby kennedy -- he's not a believer will of the things we've done and neither have the europeans so we will see but they use it as an excuse not to buy our product. a couple of the leaders chevrolet. reporter: , you see them in the middle. they don't take anything so the european is abusing united states for years. they can't do that. in all cases they want to make deals. they have been abusers so we will see what all we want is a fair deal. right now, reciprocal tariffs on everybody because many countries you feel horrible about saying resident trump is so terrible. the european union is through the roof. a similar thing similar to a tariff and numbers like you wouldn't believe. they charge us, people don't say that just like they don't like to say i opened up order for california, it's great. too

and the cia ended up going to bobby kennedy and saying, so, bobby, you want this guy dead, but you want us to use the nicest people to do it. is this where we are? and you'll see what you believe in the book that my only my conclusion to the kennedy part. joe kennedy. i do not believe was a bootlegger. i believe that is a myth. and that is a very important thing to remember now. very responsible reporters have reported he was a bootlegger, but it has been based on the testimony of people like meyer lansky and frank costello. so then you say eric, how can you be quoting these guys and saying they're not credible sources? i think they're very credible sources on certain things. the one area where i do not find meyer or frank costello, who was the successor to lucky luciano credible, is they were obsessed with this notion that that lou wasserman and the annenberg and the kennedys were no different from wia than than than us. i do believe they're different. and the bootlegging question gets to it. and i'll conclude with that. lbj had a problem. civil rights act passed and what happens a few

and then bobby kennedy said they all died from the vaccine. that's so this is, you know, it's it's frustrating this country. is it not that everything is just such an overreaction. nothing ever stops in the middle, you know, die. okay. we overreached with that. now we have an accident like this. and trump's view is, well, the air traffic controller was distracted because he was a haitian eating a cat at the time. and he wasn't looking at the screen you know what? this administration, this administration is 11 fucking days old. it seems longer, doesn't it? and already they have gotten rid of the head of the faa, the head of the tsa eliminated the aviation security committee. i know you guys are very big on firing, but maybe keep the people who talk to the airplanes. and in including the military airplanes, because this was a crash with an army black hawk helicopter and defense secretary pete hegseth, he said today, boy, did i find the wrong week to quit drinking. i kid pete. but hey. i get it. you guys are disrupters. they're the disruptors. ye

and then bobby kennedy put him in the blender. wow. well, i say that again.we make little jokes because bobby kennedy, his cousin, is caroline kennedy, the daughter of president john f kennedy. they're cousins. and who wrote a scathing letter because bobby is trying to get confirmed. now he's before the senate saying that he used to put chicks and mice in his blender to feed to his hawk, and that he and that she. and then also he was addicted to attention and was a predator. what republicans call presidential and but. and you know, this is his first cousin, and she put this in a letter to the u.s. senate. you think your thanksgiving is uncomfortable? all right. we got a great show. we have max brooks and dan jones. >> kobe the making of a legend. next saturday at nine on cnn. >> hi. hi. >> chocolate fundraiser. >> with the chase mobile app. things move a little more smoothly. >> champion. i'm the champion. i'm number one. >> deposit checks easily and send money quickly. >> oh! >> i'm the champion. >> that's convenience from chase. make more of what's yours. >

some of the different pesticides, and bobby kennedy actually is looking at that very seriously. maybe it is not necessary to use all of that. we want to be the healthiest country, and we are not. we spend more money on food than anybody else in terms of its creation, but we are not the healthiest country. so maybe there is something to the fact that we should not be using so much chemicals, and maybe that will stop them about bobby kennedy -- he is not a believer in all of the things we have done, and neither are the europeans. so we will see what happens. but they use it as an excuse not to buy our product, and i asked a couple of the leaders, i don't want to use names, how many chevrolets or fords do you see in the middle of munich? the answer is none, because they don't take any cars. they don't take anything. so europe has abused the united states for years, and they can't do that. they want to make a deal. let me tell you, in all cases, they all want to make deals. there's nobody who doesn't want to make deals. they've been abusers, and they want to make deals, so we will s

bobby kennedy is looking at that seriously. maybe it is not necessary to use all that. we spend more money on food than anybody else in terms of creation but we are not the healthiest country. maybe there is something to the fact we shouldn't be using so much chemical and maybe that will stop and bobby kennedy is the one. he is not a believer in the things we have done and neither are the europeans. any chevrolets or fours to use the and the answer is none. they don't take anything. the european union has abuse the united states for years. in all cases they want to make deals. they have been abusers and they want to make deals. we will see about that. we will have very fair -- reciprocal tariffs on everybody. many of the countries you feel horrible about, the way they have been treated by trunk, they charge us tariffs. it is a similar thing, similar to a tariffs. it is members like you would not believe. canada, i told you about the banks. they charge us. people don't like to say it, like they don't like to say i opened up the water for california. it is too bad they di

you don't have to agree with everything bobby kennedy or tulsi gabbard has ever said.nt to ask, do they have the qualifications and the character to do this job? the person who decides whether they should be nominated9 in the first place, he was the guy elected by the american people, that's president trump. and he deserves to some deference in surrounding himself with the people he thinks he needs to do the job. maria: i don't know if you're going to get it, we saw the minority leader, hakeem jeffries, go out and tell his constituents, his friends, you have to fight like heck in the street to stop president trump's agenda. >> yeah. these people remind me sometimes of the folks that were still fighting world war ii on an isolated island, like, 30 years later. the american people have spoken. they are sick of the ridiculous performative politics. they want americans, their leadership, democrats and republicans to come together and actually get some things done. you don't have to agree with us on everything, of course, if if you're a democrat, i'm sure you're going to vo

the same thing with bobby kennedy's half truths that the second that he's on in front of a panel wherere actual doctors who are. republicans who are asking him questions, he can't answer the. questions anymore because it's not just people that are. >> nodding along. >> and agreeing with the half. >> truths that. >> he is articulating. and i think her approach. >> to putin. >> is very much the. >> same as. >> bobby kennedy's. >> approach to. >> medicare. if that makes any sense to you at all. >> yeah, exactly. what you're saying is that the real world isn't twitter and isn't your fans, right? the facts have a way of following you home in the real world. democratic senator michael bennet of colorado. it has been too long since you've been here, sir. come back soon. thanks for your time tonight. >> i will, thanks for having. >> me, rachel. >> after glow cleaned our place for $19, we fired our old housekeeper. home glow tackled everything from our kitchen to our bathroom. all our laundry. you just pick a date, pick a cleaner, and enjoy a spotless house for $19. >> they are trying to shut d

the only way that senator kennedy -- i'm sorry, senator kennedy --the only way bobby kennedy and i would get crosswise is if he does take a position against the safety of proven vaccines. that would be a problem for me. he answered a very important question to me during the hearing. i asked him specifically if it was his intent to let the scientists of the cdc, nih, and other organizations working abundantly. said -- work independently. he said to me under oath that he would. if he fails to do that, it would be a concern to me, something i will bring up in a future oversight hearing. mr. chairman, we have not made appreciable progress in medicaid and improving the health of publishing on medicaid --health of the population on medicaid. we have a snap program that has too much sugar and things eligible in the program that should be eliminated to make the people who are on free and reduced lunch healthier. we need to stop having full trashcans in public school cafeterias full of stuff the kids aren't eating and figure out how the kids on free and reduced lunch actually have a healthier lif

but bobby kennedy is the one because he's he is not a believer in all of the things we have done, and neither are the europeans. so we'll see what happens. but they use it as an excuse not to buy our product. uh, and they you tried? i asked a couple of the leaders, i don't want to use names, but how many chevrolets or fords do you see in the middle of munich? and the answer is none, because they don't take any cars. they don't take anything. so the european has abused the united states for years, and they can't do that and they want to make a deal. let me tell you, in all cases, they all want to make deals. there's nobody that doesn't want to make deals. they've been abusers and they want to make deals. so we'll see about that. but, uh, we'll have, i think, some very fair. all we want is a fair deal. and, you know, there's a word reciprocal. i'd go right now. reciprocal tariffs on everybody. because many of the countries that you feel so horrible about, the way they're being treated by trump is saying, oh, president trump is so terrible to them. well, they charge u.s. tariffs. europea

but bobby kennedy is the one because he's he is not a believer in all of the things we have done, and we'll see what happens. but they use it as an excuse not to buy our product. and they you tried? i asked a couple of the leaders, i don't want to use names, but how many chevrolets or fords do you see in the middle of munich? and the answer is none, because they don't take any cars, they don't take anything. so the european has abused the united states for years and they can't do that and they want to make a deal. let me tell you, in all cases, they all want to make deals. there's nobody that doesn't want to make deals. they've been abusers and they want to make deals. so we'll see about that. but we'll have, i think, some very fair. all we want is a fair deal. and you know, there's a word reciprocal. i'd go right now reciprocal tariffs on everybody. because many of the countries that you feel so horrible about the way they're being treated by trump, you're saying, oh, president trump is so terrible to them. well, they charge us tariffs. european union has a vat tax which is through t

kennedy, bobby kennedy and martin luther king jr., guy, what is does it matter we get these files, wern possibly the truth behind the high profile assassinations. >> it has been decades. it is well pastime for us to get a look at, that i think. and then, you fast forward to just months ago, on campaign trail, that horrifying video we watched so many times, you almost got desensitized. donald trump was almost killed. on live television, the pack that he seems to put out this clarion call almost saying, i have a right to know what happened. because we have a lot of unanswered questions. and if anyone is getting that information you think it would be a sitting president of united states who is also the target of those plots. >> charlie, a great way to tee it up, back to transparency or lack there of. of the biden administration, we respected for weeks about -- we reported for weeks about random and unknown drones in new jersey and country and little stories chinese spies were in one, it was happening overseas. president trump takes office, by the way, karoline leavitt. want to let you kn

the same time, it was great to see tulsi get out with unanimous republican support and same with bobby kennedydo the same thing, and i believe the way the clock works because, you know, they have a 24 hour soak, larry, once they get past out of committee and then reported to the floor and then we have to let the clock run on people that are in front of them and 30 hour de-pate time and called closeture and vote on tulsi and bobby by the end of next week. larry: being a republican from main, the great state of maine. >> i did say maryland, sorry, maine. thanks for watching me. larry: not contradicting, it's an easy mistake, but the point is i've known senator colins for many years and count on her as a friend whether we agree or disagree. she does what she does, lumis has as much integrity as anybody i know. i'm sure that -- >> larry, i would agree with that . sorry, i mess up maryland and maine. january and june for me. i tell you, i will agree with that. she's honest as tomorrow and as today, what she says you can trust that she is my chairwoman on approach, and i wouldn't be there if she wou

. >> only way bobby kennedy and i will cross wise and if he does actually take a position against theines and that'll be a problem for me. >> it'll be at least a week or more before kennedy's nominee nation hits the floor. could be gop noes there and democrats are united in their opposition of kennedy. >> do senators want their legacy to include disregarding basic health science and instead elevate conspiracy theorists and it would be a grave threat to the health of the american people. reporter: they questioned kennedy's past when president trump picked him for the job and have he has vagueses about what mr. trump said about his approach to health policy. georgia democrat raphael warnock represents the sentsers of disease -- centers for disease control in atlanta. >> donald trump said he was going to allow mr. robert kennedy to "go wild on health". go wild. of all the things that i can think of i'd like to see a secretary of health and human services do, go wild is not on the list. reporter: also, the senate intelligence committee votes on tulsi gabbard to be director of national int

today's vote on the nomination of bobby kennedy's during the spotlight on the unprecedented rift in theelot, goes this headline. the vicious infighting. kennedy family in tatters. the split exploded into public ew when rfk jr.'s first cousin, caroline kennedy, president kennedy's daughter, posted a video calling him a predator. >> i have known bobby my whole life. we grew up together. it is no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets, because bobby himself is a predator. >> her son, jack schlossberg, also weighed in, posting a video of himself making fun of the neurological disorder that affects rfk jr.'s beach. >> everybody, i am trying to gure out the right present to get donald trump for the inauguration. >> the kennedys have always held together. lawrence is author of "the kennedy men and the kennedy women." he says for decades, the kennedy's have always presented a united front as a family, until now. >> no matter what goes inside the family, you protect each other, and don't say anything negative. >> the rfk nomination has a chatter that, says. the family has turned on him. th

. >> the only way that bobby kennedy and i will get crosswise is if he does all actually take a position against the safety of proven vaccines. that will be a problem for me. >> a week or more before his nomination hits the floor. but there could be g.o.p. news there. democrats are united in their opposition of kennedy. >> do senators want their legacy to include disregarding basic health science and instead elevate conspiracy theorists? making robert kennedy secretary of health and human services in my view, colleagues, would be a grave threat to the health of the american people. >> democrats question his past when president trump picked him for the job and have reservations about what mr. trump said regarding his health policy. warnock. >> donald trump said he was going to allow mr. robert kennedy to, quote, go wild on health. go wild. of all the things that i can think of that i would like to see a secretary of health and human services do go wild is not on the list. >> we expect cassidy to explain his vote on the floor shortly. also the senate intelligence committee votes today on t

i think it's very important, you know, when we talk bobby kennedy, i think he's up there having dinner tonight. it's very interesting. but he's a good person and he's not a radical. he said, you know, i'm getting sort of this reputation of being anti vaccine and everything else. he said, i'm not anti. and i understand through the campaign that he actually has kids had vaccines at all. he said, you know, i grew up in a slightly political family. would you say that was the kennedys? he said, i grew up in a political family. i mean, i'm not a crazy person. i'm very moderate in a certain way. and i never forgot that. and i think it's true. but i think we need somebody like this and dr. oz working with him because if you look at autism and you go back 20 years, it was i think it was like one in 10,000 children. but actually, i think the number is even higher than that one in 10,000, one in 20,000 children had autism. and now it's one in 34. what's that all about? what's that all about? one in 34. and i think we really got to get to the bottom of it. i really believe we're going to figure th

bobby kennedy junior, a couple republicans and we were worried about and we appreciate them coming throughats will do everything they can to slow this down which is why we are working weekends. we will do an all-nighter tomorrow. they can try to slow us down but we are still ahead of joe biden space and right there at pace with what barack obama got done so we know how to fight and how to play this game and i need to get this people across the finish line and bring these disruptors to the forefront and help president trump fulfil his agenda. >> martha: the reason they are saying they are putting a hold on it at this point is because of what's happening with usaid and clearing out some of these agencies of long time agency staffers that say it's about that more than it's about these nominees so give us a scents procedurally. how long can they put the hold on? 30 hours for each? >> they can hold at 30 hours each and there are three times you have to vote if they don't surrender time so they can stretch a one-day process into three or four days at a time but really think about what is going o

. >> are you not concerned about bobby kennedy's views on vacci vaccines. >> i think he put that issuereporter: both still holdouts. >> the jury's out? >> that's correct. >> george: let's get to julie pace, susan page. we saw pete hegseth get through on a close vote. are these two candidates going to make it? >> i think these are two of the most controversial nominees and two on the bubble. gabbard may be a little more imperiled than kennedy at this point. watch what the maga movement does though. they really rallied around hegseth and were instrumental in ensuring that he got over that finish line, narrowly there, and you're starting to see the same thing happen right now, and they will put pressure on those senators you just saw right there and say, look. we're going to make your lives pretty miserable for the next couple of years if you don't let these nominees go through. >> even though they're both former democrats? >> that's right, and interestingly they had these hearings this year. they both made their situation worse, not better, and it wasn't in response to kind of gotcha que

and i say that because, you know, there was a widespread feeling that bobby kennedy's nomination wasardy. and then a number of senators who had initial concerns said well, behind closed doors. he gave me assurances. we're already hearing this in some cases with tulsi gabbard. oh, i've spoken with her and she's answered my questions. well, even though pretty widely it was considered that she had some trouble answering questions during her actual confirmation hearings. so i guess, what is your level of certainty that there will be enough republicans? or do you have any certainty that there will be enough republicans that she does not get confirmed? >> well, let. >> me just say, chris, i'm not highly certain. >> but i. >> do. >> think that there are a group. >> of republicans who still have. >> concerns about her actions regarding. >> syria. >> her alliance. >> with or so-called. alliance with russia. >> and this question over snowden. >> look. >> i think national. >> security is. >> on a different. >> level than. >> the department. >> of health and human. >> services is troubling. >> a

this critical vote, and he posted on social media saying that he had intense conversations with bobby kennedy over the weekend, as well as with the white house. he said he'd received some, quote, serious commitments from the administration. he also indicated that he spoke to the vice president, jd vance, in order to get to. yes, but he really has not tipped his hand other than that he did talk to us very briefly coming out of this high stakes moment where he voted to advance this nomination to the senate floor and indicated that he would be speaking on the senate floor in just a matter of moments. listen. >> senator, how did you get how did you get to. yes. how did you get to? yes, i will. >> be speaking on the floor at 1140. >> okay. but what about you. >> were troubled last week. >> what changed? what changed? what changed? >> hey, guys. >> make a hole. >> make a hole. sorry about. >> and one of the big questions is what did rfk jr. tell him behind the scenes? because what bill cassidy raised concerns about was the issue of vaccines. cassidy up for reelection in 2026. also a medical doctor,

and the danger of bobby kennedy jr here is that he really litigates all this stuff.a very good job in your overview of suggesting some reasons, but we have precious tax dollars. we have precious time. they need to be invested in building on the science that we are beginning to have about the causes of autism and so many other conditions and diseases. and in the meantime, we also need a secretary of hhs who knows about the department's obligations of treating and caring for people who do have these conditions. that's about the medicaid program, among other things, which the republicans are proposing to cut in massive ways. so it's both the divisiveness and his, as i said in my comments, freezing us in place when we should be moving forward with our energy and our investments to find cures. but it's also his complete lack of understanding of what the agency he's been nominated to lead does and what it will mean to americans all across the country if medicaid is cut. so people are thrown out of nursing homes or disabled kids can't get the care or schools can't get the s

most controversial of his picks bobby kennedy, tulsi gabbard and kash patel.and so while everybody was chasing that shiny object of die that day, those hearings were amazing. i watched most of of each of the three and the exchanges. i could spend the hour just showing you a highlights reel, and i argue that 98% of americans have no idea what took place in those hearings. but the die debate. oh yeah, that they're familiar with. still to come, your social media reaction by commentary and early polling shows that. listen to this. now, president trump is up ten points compared to where he was during his first time. first term. is bill maher right in saying, you know what? he's become cool. i also want to remind you, go to the website. you just heard me reference it. answer today's poll question. do you believe president trump's blaming of di, that it was all deliberate to take away our focus from the congressional hearings? when you're there, sign up for the daily newsletter. at smerconish.com, for which. jack ohman drew this. >> kobe didn't want to be one of the

he said he had very intense conversations with the white house this weekend and with bobby kennedy jr.. he said he spoke to jd vance as well. he said he had received serious commitments from the administration and the opportunity to, quote, make progress on the issues we agree on, like healthy foods and a. pro agenda. no mention in that statement about vaccines, no mention about how those concerns that he expressed last week changed. but this vote decisive, sending this to the senate floor. and now it will be up to the full senate to decide what to do. we do know that there are some senators who have not said what they will do. the two perennial swing votes, senators lisa murkowski, senator susan collins, what will senator mitch mcconnell do himself a childhood polio survivor, someone who believes very strongly in the issue of vaccines, someone who voted against pete hegseth for defense secretary on the senate floor? what will he do? but that's three senators. what will some other members who have not said? what will they come down? but at the moment, republican leadership is very con

however, usa programs have reached bobby on kennedy to manage hiring goals in crane over the days of these correspondents on coast explains now hasn't the taurus american agency actually help for folks? the crisis in the ukraine? so us puppet state and washington is used and g o is to control t. uh for years. it's a stark fact that people in the us are bringing more and more attention to this covers everything zalinski is allowed to do on security issues. and it was this message coming from, it's coming from the us state department that makes you create a book like a vast of state. so ukraine is not allowed to negotiate with russia. in less ukraine's dog owners. the us state department, let's them. so who is really running your country? and with key i've under washington, some that means vladimir zalinski is to, within his very 1st month in office. so lensky was sent a letter signed by around 70 n g o's lane, down a bunch of red lines that the new president must not cross. the letter itself was related through the ukraine crisis media center, which surprised surprise is bank rolled b

. -- goodwin is the speechwriter who wrote the rivers of hope speech for bobby kennedy. he wrote lyndon johnson's address on civil rights where he said shall overcome. and he was married. doris kearns goodwin, the historian, they came to chicago and they took me and jon favreau to lunch. and adam frankel, who was the other speechwriter, you know, -- goodwin sat there at lunch and just told us stories, you know, and it kind of blew us away. and then ted sorensen, who was john f kennedy speechwriter, he met with us and then when obama was elected, there's actually a society of former speechwriters where you're not supposed to talk very often, but it's called the judson. well of our society, because that's actually that said, too much already that no one's supposed to know about this. this is the first presidential speechwriter and he's saying everything, the first presidential speechwriter history's got him. judson welliver, who is like, i don't know, warren g. harding, speechwriter. and he had a good name. but actually, i think he was kind of a problematic individual, you

. >> what did bobby kennedy popped into his mouth during a senate confirmation hearing?rgy. a look, when we slo-mo the video, you can make out the container of zinn and his hand. also photographed in october buying it in los angeles. the small flavor packets are loaded with nicotine. you tap the packet inside your mouth, i bought this container at a convenience store in new york city today. two weeks ago the fda offered zyn to help smokers quit smoking. ny professionals think it's being abused. the product became a political football during the presidential campaign. nald trump met zyn loving fans. governor tim walz put in 95% tax on zyn. we need to get that removed, president trump. >> and touted zyn on his show. >> some sort of connection with lping ward off alzheimer's i believe, i don't know if that is ue. >> and conservative firebrand tucker carlson is a big promoter. >> don't get me going, i use it every and embed. >> but dr. miles says zyn could cause issues that are problematic for teenagers. sleeping disruption, anxiety, all kinds of other things which are proba

second day of bobby kennedy junior's hearings for hhs. medicare and medicaid. it was interesting. i caught my attention. senator cassidy position himself really pressed him on questions there at the end that kennedy didn't answer all that well. some believe that maybe cassidy creating a path to get to know. maybe he would be a fourth vote. we're not sure. and there's also tulsi gabbard, who and i'll just read from it here, some republicans who maybe went into this hearing inclined to support her, or at least giving her the benefit of the doubt. maybe not a few, just a few reactions here. senator lankford from oklahoma, who previously said he backed gabbard, said afterwards there were a lot of questions. now, senator curtis, of utah, said the hearing deepened his concerns about her judgment. todd young of indiana, who was we saw a little bit there clashing here with about edward snowden, said, quote, i've got for now at least all the information i need. and then senator josh hawley, who was a trump supporter to the hilt, said, i'm worried

you cannot find a single samoan who will say i didn't get a vaccine because of bobby kennedy. i went in june of 2019, the measles outbreak started in august. so clearly i had nothing to do with the measles. sen. wyden: mr. kennedy -- mr. kennedy: if you will let me finish -- sen. wyden: you have had some time. mr. kennedy: if you've let me finish, 83 people died when the tissue samples were sent to new zealand. most of those people did not have measles. we don't know what was killing them. sen. wyden: the same outbreak occurredsen. wyden: in tonga and no extra people died. there were seven measles outbreaks in the 13 years. the nominee wrote a book saying that people have been misled into believing that measles is a deadly disease. he's trying now to play down his role in samoa. that is not with the parents say, that is not what governor green says. it's time to make sure that we blow the whistle on what your views are. chair crapo: we need to move on. mr. kennedy: i support the measles vaccine, i support the polio vaccine. i will do nothing to change that. sen. wyden: anybody

again senator kennedy, bobby kennedy i'm sorry.nk you for appeared before the committee and for your willingness to serve our country as your family has served our country. you and i've talked at length about a variety of issues impacting america these have been candid conversations i very much appreciate your willingness to engage. there are many things you and i agree on. we are in total agreement on the need to address ultra processed foods. to repeat reduce obesity. in the leading cause of chronic disease and therefore shorter life span this'll be a priority in this committee i look forward to collaborating with you if you are confirmed. but it is no secret of some reservation about your past positions on vaccines and a couple other issues. we know a lot about you, a title little bit about myself before he entered politics or thought about running for office i practice medicine for 30 years working in public hospitals in california and louisiana. specializing in liver disease. caring for those who otherwise would not had a spec

there is no exception for bobby kennedy. he is speaking for the maga base. literally i've had members of congress say, look, you know, you do have to worry in this day and age. you have to worry about your own safety as well. it's not just the primary factor. >> yeah. and guys, i was on the hill last thursday during that day where they had hearings all happening at once for kennedy and patel and tulsi gabbard, and they're talking to congressional aides. the thing is, it's about the math. what's so hard for these republican senators is being that one vote who can be blamed? it's hard to be that fourth vote. if you are assuming that collins and murkowski and mcconnell, who showed a willingness to defy trump, are going to be three. now, tulsi gabbard's case. susan collins didn't even get there. but we know there are some other republican senators who have real concerns about her. we're watching todd young from indiana as well. but the issue is it's so hard to do it. with four. and these aides were saying what they would really need would be to a bunch of senato

bobby kennedy, are you kidding?ay, here's what's happening today, here's what's going on. this is what they're trying to do. they're trying to get rid of congressional authority, starting with the pardoning of those people who attacked us, including the vice president. now, i go to the ambassador, getting rid of our voice in the world is important because. >> if trump. >> is our voice, if he is our voice, it looks like he's the voice of the republican party. now, the reality of the republican party, if he's us, then we're bullies. we're the country telling small countries, including enclaves like gaza, to do it. we're going to move your 202 million people. we're going to round you up against your will, and we're going to move you to wherever we'd like some comfortable place he's calling it. it sounds like some indian trader or something from the old west, some corrupt official cheating the indians. i mean, we're not going to take him to some nice place. they want to stay where they are. your thoughts? >> well, the w

[laughter] bobby kennedy. you can say no to her older brother, i'm sure he would. this idea that there something bad is ridiculous but who you pick? you pick the people you know, people you trust people who are qualified. glad he picked who knows you, he trust you are highly qualified. so, the edge of the something wrong with that is absolutely ridiculous. >> lists on what the job you're about too have here do you support making certain drug cartels and federal terrorist organizations? 's. >> senator, i personally went to mexico. i personally dealt with these cartels when i was a state prosecutor. they are a grave in violent threat to our country. >> you consider advising the president? good. good. when it comes across fire or hurricane are those days over if you are attorney general? >> absolutely pick oxo kate lakin around and are you familiar with that case question. >> at the eye am, centigram. you know why the man who killed her was released from custody? he was paroled to detention capacity at central processing center in el paso, texas. that is not your call

bobby. democrats are skeptic. >> mr. kennedyppears more obsessed in chasing conspiracy theories than chasing solutions to lower healthcare costs. >> kennedy and gabbard are days away from a floor vote. the senate today confirmed doug collins as v.a. secretary. there's been bipartisan support for nine of the ten nominees confirmed so far the senate votes later to confirm pam bondi. as attorney general that starts around 7:00. >> bret: chad pergram on capitol hill. thanks. waiting for the trump news conference. we will continue with the news today. the usaid agency closed again today. the statement department is reviewing that organization for potential reorganization. correspondent madeleine rivera has the latest on that tonight. [applause] >> usaid supporters outraged after elon musk said this week president trump had signed off on shutting it down. now the agency is under review, authorized by its new acting director secretary of state marco rubio. >> this is not about getting rid of foreign aid. there are things that we do thr

kennedy's nomination this past week. president trump posted on social media, quote, "20 years ago, autism in children was one in 10,000. now it is one in 34. wow. something's really wrong. we need bobby." in a recent kaiser family foundation poll, 20% of americans said it is probably true that vaccines cause autism. this is not true. vaccines do not cause autism. according to the cdc, there is no link between vaccines and autism. would directing research towards understanding the causes of autism be a worthy redirection of this energy? and do you think that's a possible upside or outcome, a glass half full solution here? - well, of course research in any unanswered question is important. the fact of the matter is there is no evidence whatsoever that there's any link. numerous studies have been done over the last 20 years to show there is no relationship whatsoever. and yet research needs to continue as to how and why we have autism and why it's increasing. but we know it's not from vaccines. - over the last few months, dr. carmona, there has been a movement, the maha movement, make america healthy again movement. some of their grievances about vaccines and seed oils are scientificall
