kennedy. mr. kennedy: i am pro safety, i worked for years to raise awareness about the mercury and toxic chemicals in fish and nobody called me anti-fish. and i believe that vaccines played a critical role in health care. all of my kids are vaccinated, i've written many books on vaccines, my first in 2014. the first line of it is i am not anti-vaccine and last line is i am not anti-vaccine. nor am i the enemy of food producers. american farms are the bedrock of our culture, our politics, our national security. i was a 4h kid and i spent my summer working on ranches. i want to work with our farmers and food producers to remove burdensome regulations and unleash american ingenuity. i simply cannot succeed without a full partnership of american farmers. in my advocacy, i've often disturb the status quo. by asking uncomfortable questions. well, i'm not going to apologize for that. we have massive problems in this country that we must face honestly. and the first thing i've done every morning for t

kennedy for a decade. which is pretty much solely devoted to vaccine skepticism. he has a huge following in these worlds. there are a lot of mothers and families who feel that he really understands them, that he's really speaking to them. but the fact is, he has been part of an ecosystem that peddles doubt, that peddles ideas about the causes of things like autism that are just simply not scientifically possible or accurate. and he has done it for years. >> anna, thank you for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. anna merlin is a senior reporter for mother jones. all right. coming up in another hour of velshi, the latest on the investigation into the deadliest aviation disaster on u.s. soil since 2001, and why donald trump's false scapegoating of initiatives of. diversity initiatives in the wake of this catastrophic crash is actually undermining efforts to keep the skies safe. plus, donald trump's tariffs are here with a brand new levy on our biggest trading partners is going to mean for you. another

kennedy: mr. hunter biden cheated on his income taxes. didn't pay $1.4 million of income taxes for the eval felt fraudulent returns. he tried -- he filed fraudulent returns he tried to deduct his folkers as a business expense, for god sakes. and they hit him with two misdemeanors before there was a public outcry. don't you think the american people are entitled to know the details of that? mr. patel: the american people are entitled to a single form of justice and details of every public corruption -- sen. kennedy: you remember peter strzok? mr. patel: i sure do. sen. kennedy: one of the lead investigators for mr. moeller' -- mueller's russian collusion hoax? mr. patel: yes, senator. sen. kennedy: inspector general found that mr. peter strzok said, -send an email to his girlfriend, "just went to a southern virginia walmart. i could smell the trump support." mr. patel: he did that while working at the fbi and working on the investigation. sen. kennedy: you remember when the ig revealed another emai

kennedy jr. was grilled by senators over his past false claims about vaccine safety. and if he trusts the science behind them. here's cnn's meg tirrell. >> one of the most notable. >> things out of these two. >> days. of confirmation hearings. >> for. >> robert f. kennedy jr. was something that he didn't or wouldn't say, which was that he accepted established science, showing no link between vaccines and autism. this was something that multiple senators pressed. robert f. kennedy jr. on, most notably, senator bill cassidy, who is a physician and is the chair of the senate health committee, which hosted the second day's confirmation hearing. here's an example of one exchange between those two on this topic. >> if you. >> are approved. >> to this decision, to this position, will you say unequivocally, will you will you reassure mothers unequivocally and without qualification, that the measles and hepatitis b vaccines do not cause autism? >> senator. >> i am not going into the agency with any. >> ki

kennedy.d already are, we'll do 5 for this week with pam bondi the for attorney general and others. so with regard to robert kennedy, i know you've within broadcasting the hearings -- been broadcasting the hearings on him. you can hear the hostility in the voices of the democrats who are asking him questions. considering him a traitor. robert kennedy wants to make america healthy again. i'm a are doctor, i support his nomination. i thought he did wonderfully at the two days of hearings. he had to go to two different hearings for this. we need to make america healthy again. we spend almost a quarter of the money of this country on health care, and what happens? we have chronic props, epidemics of obesity, chronic disease, diabetes. i think robert kennedy is the right person. of i'm working hard to make sure he gets confirmed. maria: so there are rumors that senator cassidy is not there yet. do you believe you will need j.d. vance for the tie-breaker for kennedy? >> well, we had j.d. vance come

kennedy? guest: i agree we need to pay more attention to chronic diseases but not at the expense of infectious diseases because they are interlinked. i also disagree with him on his stand on vaccines. i disagree with his demonizing federal workers who get up everyday and go to work. i disagree with his assertions around fluoride. when used in the proper doses. i absolutely disagree with his recommendation to create -- drink raw milk in the middle of a bird flu outbreak. i believe pasteurized products are the safest. that is my professional device. -- professional advice. you have a right to do what you do. i get that. i will not tell you not to drink raw milk. i will tell you not to drink raw milk but i will not stand in the way and stop you because i do not have one of those jobs that i can do that anyway. i will give you as much information as i can. hopefully you will make a good decision based on the information that i give you that is factual. if you don't, that's up to you. host: helen,

kennedy.vote i take, i work really hard to make sure i begin the process with an open mind. and mr. kennedy's case, i was certainly skeptical because of his vaccine denialism, among other things. but look, what i saw on wednesday and thursday was a man entirely unprepared to be the secretary of this agency, the lead health care spokesperson in the united states of america for the reasons we've discussed, but also the way he uses this supposed skepticism, it's really his cynicism about science to injure us in other ways. one of the other lines of questioning we had was whether he understood that mifepristone, which is, of course, the drug that about half of the women in the country who seek abortions, use for medication, abortions, whether that was safe and he wouldn't commit to that on wednesday, even though, again, i had a stack of studies this this tall that said that it is safe and effective, he will do whatever donald trump tells him to do. that's been very clear because he's abandoned his

so he had the pleasure of questioning both tulsi gabbard and robert f kennedy jr today. bennet, i know it's been a really long day. thank you for being here tonight. >> well, it's. >> been too long, rachel. >> i'm very happy to see. >> you tonight. >> i'm happy to see you, too. >> thank you. >> for having me. >> of course. tell me your overall impression of miss gabbard at her hearing today, and how you think she did and what you what you were thinking in that moment that just just played for our viewers. >> i think. >> that she. >> didn't. >> do well. and i think she. >> didn't do well with republicans and democrats, not because of, you know, an attack on. >> her patriotism. >> which is what she kept asserting before the hearing even started. but because i think there's a. >> lot of question. >> about her judgment. you know, it just seems like. >> every time she has. >> the opportunity to go out of her. >> way inside. >> for example, with a dictator. >> who has. >> rolled over. >> the peaceful border of, let's say, ukraine. >> she does that. >> by sending emails. >> in.

they told us to get off the lawn and you know what robert f kennedy junior did?s the first thing i'm going to address when i become secretary of human health services. that is what we need, someone, a politician and elected officials to go for the american people to be the voice and we were there cheering and supporting him because he's taking our issues to the highest level the government and talking about it in a way that we are actually looking at real reform. you saw the red green die band, because the leaders finally get up and put special interests aside and get real reform done in our food system. >> rfk so what you guys were doing and he got on board and then trump saw what rfk was doing and said i want you aboard and if you come aboard, i'm not going to forget you after i'm elected and so far they are fulfilling their dream and goal and it's up to get confirmation across the goal line. you believe he will get confirmed? just your gut and from what people have told you? >> it will be a fundamental life-changing decision for every senator votes no on that

do you think kennedy, um, managed himself well with cassidy? and if he didn't, is that an indicator that, you know, cassidy is going to be a no vote? >> well, i don't think he managed himself well with cassidy. like sophia said, there were some sort of pointed interactions that i think kennedy, uh, you know, fell under the bar that that cassidy and others wanted him to pass very clearly stating that vaccines don't cause autism. it's just something that kennedy was not willing to do on capitol hill last week in front of the cameras. now, the important thing to remember for cassidy, not only is he a doctor, he's the chairman of the top health committee in the senate. he also is up for reelection in 2026. so he is juggling the the the political need to to sort of shore up support on his right. obviously already chatter about a primary challenge down in louisiana, but also staying true to to to his his principles as a doctor and as the top republican top senator on the top health committee in the u.s. senate. >> and, stephen, what other republicans

because you're not john f kennedy. you should have a conversation. it's something he would often tell us. you should want to have a conversation with the audience. and so i think that's what america fans are looking for. and so that doesn't necessarily meet the criteria of what we consider sort of, you know, quote unquote, great oratory. i'll give you one example. at the recent convention, the speech given by tim walz was widely praised as as a very effective speech. but when you think about what he did, he just sort of came out and had a conversation with you. he wasn't he wasn't yelling. he wasn't trying to deliver something for the speeches. he was for the ages. he wasn't clearly he wasn't trying to, like, say things that could get into memorials for for the rest of american history. it's like he was sitting there with you over a cup of coffee telling you who he was, what his values were, what he wanted to do for the country. it was a conversation. and so i think a lot of, you know, that's sort of what the american

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. >> subway's got a new meal of the day with chips and a drink for just 6.99. or if you're big hungry, make it a footlong

i mean, again, we make little jokes because bobby kennedy, his cousin, is caroline kennedy, the daughterof president john f kennedy, their 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've got a great show. we have max brooks and dan jones. >> milo's rewards week is here, and so are some of our biggest deals. members save up to 40% on hundreds of items in store and online because you're a big deal. so join for free today and save now before rewards week ends. >> 20s a week to lose 20% of your weight in a year with diet and exercise. that's the power of glp one through ro. ro helps find the medication that's right for you. based on cost, availability, and your weight los

kennedy and tom shillue, everybody.eering and applauding] have about it. >> i didn't realize you robbed carol bastian from tiger clean. >> never shown wearing clothes again. it's good to see you. the first joe biden siding we've had in three years. [laughter] the proof of life video. >> here's the deal. melania trump released her first official white house portrait this week which explains why my teen son was in the shower for 35 minutes. just kidding. that was me. [laughter] she is easily the most were just first lady and history unless you are one of the haters at vogue magazine. wearing an unbuttoned tuxedo made her look like freelance magician. [laughter] it hits home for me because high dress like a me to magician. don't i look like david copperfield? [laughter] of course it's the same magazine long 2021 profile on joe biden when she appeared on the cover just as the couch with recovering plastic. [laughter] this year she was pushing joe biden to serve four more years, thankfully they didn't get their way or making

kennedy jr.si gabbard both making their case. >> those reports that in the hearing yesterday have claimed that i am anti-vaccine and anti-industry. well, i'm neither. i'm pro-safety. >> what truly unsettles my political opponents is i refuse to be their puppet. >> reporter: kennedy, trump's pick to run the department of health and human services pressed on everything from embracing medical conspiracy theories to pushing falsehoods about vaccines. republican senator bill cassidy, a doctor and potential hurdle for his confirmation chances saying he's struggling with the nomination. >> will you reassure mothers, without qualification that the measles and hepatitis b vaccines do not cause autism? >> i'm not going into the agency with any -- >> that's kind of a yes or no question. >> if the data is there, i will absolutely do that. >> reporter: and some republicans about gabbard tapped to lead national intelligence. >> i have no love for assad or gaddafi or any dictator. >> reporter: now under scrutin

kennedy.ou said yes. did you say exposure to pesticides causes children to become transgender? >> i never said that. >> i have the record i will give to the chairman and he can make his judgment about what you said. did you write in your book, "it is undeniable that african aids is an entirely different disease from western aids. yes or no? i will give to the chairman. my final question. did you say on a podcast, and i quote, "i would not leave abortion to the states. my belief is we should leave it to the woman. we should not have the government involved, even if it is full-term." did you say that? >> i believe every abortion is a tragedy. >> did you say it? this matters! it doesn't matter what you come here and say that isn't true, that is not reflective of what you really believe, that you have not said over a decade after decade. unlike other jobs we are confirming, this is a job where it is life-and-death for the kids i used to work for in the denver public schools and for families all ov

kennedy jr. and tulsi gabbard faced sharp questioning by skeptical senators on capitol hill during confirmation hearings for their cabinet posts. cnn has now learned that trump allies are making calls to try and shore up support for their troubled confirmations. cnn's alayna treene is joining us now with more on this. elena, what are you learning? >> well, that's right, fred. we have learned my colleague kent mara and i, that president donald trump's allies, including vice president jd vance, have been calling different lawmakers on capitol hill trying to shore up support for both robert f. kennedy jr., as well as tulsi gabbard following their tough confirmation hearings this week. now, we know that both robert f. kennedy jr., who is donald trump's nominee to lead the department of health and human services, as well as tulsi gabbard, his pick to be his director of national intelligence. both of them faced very sharp questioning from democrats and republicans alike on capitol hill this week. but a

since that's been around since the kennedy administration. and so we are serious is the magic attack against the in the the, the freeze of assistance is one component of it is not the only come back of the law. you touched earlier on the political aspects of this. and now might be a good time to come back to and ask you to take apart the role of political impacts of the us withdrawing it's. it's 8 support as dave explained earlier in some of those areas, critical areas there, levant. ok, i think it was the term dave use when you look at to the cutting back of age and syria and jordan and to support the palestinians and so on. does that leave avoid which others? and maybe even a countries which are to put it nicely in competition with the us trying feel like china and so on. and i totally, i think they, they, they, they, they're similar to that. we control, we is development aid, you know, into open aid for very long time was primarily the united states and that you appear in the countries until a couple of decades ago when china appeared on t

that's what every administration has done since the kennedy administration. you there is no need to per this junior, the non partisan career leaders of the agency just like a decapitation of generals on those. um, you know, within, within washington there is a chilling effect. usaid officials can speak anybody, not even at the state department. and so really what we're seeing is a political retribution that's designed to undermine the 4 principle of this statutorily, independent and crew. and legal and congressional is authorized uh, agency since that's been around since the kennedy administration. and so we are serious systematic attack against the in the, the, the freeze of assistance is one component of it is not the only come back of the law. you touched earlier on the political aspects of this. and now might be a good time to come back to and ask you to take apart the broad political impacts of the us withdrawing it's. it's 8 support, as dave explained earlier in some of those areas, critical areas the levant. ok, i think it was the term dave used when y

as president john f. kennedy said many years ago, geography has made us neighbor's history, has made us friends. economics has made us partners and necessity has made us allies that rang true for many decades prior to president kennedy's time and office. in the decades since from the beaches of normandy to the mountains of the korean peninsula, from the fields of flanders to the streets of kandahar, we have fought and died alongside you. during your darkest hours, during the rainy and hostage crisis, those $444.00 days, we worked around the clock from our embassy to get your innocent compatriots home during the summer of 2005. when hurricane katrina ravaged to your great city of new orleans or mere weeks ago, we sent water bombers to tackle the wildfires in california. during the day, the world stood still september 11th, 2001. when we provided refuge to stranded passengers and plains, we were all was there standing with you, grieving with you the american people together we've built the most successful economic, military and security partnership. the world has ever seen a relationsh

i want to play you some comments from trump's pick to health secretary robert f kennedy jr. speaking about the abortion pill during his confirmation hearing this week. take a listen. >> president trump has made. >> it clear to me. >> that one. >> of the things. >> he has not taken a. >> position yet on mifepristone. >> he a. >> detailed position, but. >> he's made it clear to me that he. >> wants me to look. at safety issues. >> and i'll. >> ask nih. >> and fda. >> to do that. >> if this administration moves to limit access to the abortion pill, how can states like yours push back? >> reverend al, we're actually already in litigation, which we brought against the biden administration because the current restrictions on mifepristone are too limiting. this is a pill that's been used for decades. it is proven to be safe. and the extra restrictions currently in place, we believe, are unnecessary. the idea that you would take it off the market is ridiculous. there's no scientific basis for it. two thirds of abortions in colorado rely on this medication. if you want to upend our s

kennedy sr. with this defense of congress' role in reining in the administration. >> i think it's terribly important to ensure that the executive branch of the government is not corrupt and that they are efficient, that the legislative branch of the government has this ability to check on what we're doing in the executive branch of the government. so in every instance that has been brought to our attention at the department of justice so far, by various departments of the executive branch where this question has been raised, we have suggested and recommended that they make the information available to congress. we will continue to do so that. i don't say that there might not be an instance where executive privilege might not have to be used, but i think it's terribly important ththat wi ththe executive branch of the government as powerful and strong as it is, that there be some check and balance on it. >>> and when we come back, will president trump's controversial cabinet nominees make it throug

senator kennedy. sen. kennedy: thank you, this are chairman. -- mr. chairman. mr. vought, welcome. mr. vought: thank you. sen. kennedy: in my judgment, i don't know a single person in washington or outside washington who knows more about the federal budget then you do. -- than you do. i used to read your suggestions during president trump's first term. many of which congress ignored. we should not have. i am delighted that the president picked you. i have read that since 2019, the population of america has increased 2% and are spending has increased 55%. under president biden, i wish him well, if we had discovered life on mars, he would have sent it money. is that sustainable? mr. vought: it is totally unsustainable. the problem is that you go on these trajectories we are currently on and you don't know when you will get to the point of which you have some major, major problems as an economy and country. we know that historically. sen. kennedy: i hope you will start with the low hanging fruit. there's a lot. when we sent out stimulus checks to save our economy, $1.6 billion went to

kennedy embraced conspiracy theories, charlatans, especially when it comes to safety and efficacy of vaccines matthew except even assent, even a sliver of responsibility for the drop in vaccinations and subsequent deaths of more than 70 people? anything you do differently? mimic absolutely not and you frighten people. >> supportive of these? >> supportive of vaccines. >> are you supportive -- anti- vaccine? >> i am in support of vaccines. >> you love that one guy run. >> questioning anybody about health? he makes him look like a rock. none of these idiots can pass judgment on fitness to serve. they swore biden was fit to serve so either they were lying then and now they believed it and it's insane. we are in the new world where social media people already know this stuff so the circus, as always, that's nothing and only subtract. i can't even look. we are talking about onesies. i stopped wearing those years ago. [laughter] rfk is a glorious mixed bag. on one hand he's passionate and persuasive and open-minded, he's not woke, interested in the world around him, not himself. on the oth

i mean, you our committee, the finance has jurisdiction over the kennedy nomination. he has made some land issue statements. i mean, you can go to these videos and tapes where he said no vaccine has ever been effective. yeah, right. explaining that to a lot of parents and families where several generations have benefited vaccines. so it's just getting started but you know we've got the treasury nominee, we've got robert kennedy. we're going to take this seriously. much more to come. and has so many key nominees. you're going to be in hearings for while be sent to the treasury know nominee. i mean, this isn't going to be rocket science. i want to know what he's going to do that. bill bradley, one of my long time friends who was on the finance, had a better jump shot than me. the nba all-star. he and i always talk about a tax code that gives everybody in america the chance to get ahead. so far, what we've seen is there going to be a lots of breaks for people at the top. the cabinet is made up of, you know, lots of billionaires. and it looks like they're going to do pret

kennedy jr.. faced strong pushback from both democratic and republican senators during confirmation hearings. cnn reporter elena treene has more on the campaign to get rfk jr. and tulsi gabbard confirmed. >> well, victor and amber, we are learning that the president's allies, including vice president jd vance, are making calls to lawmakers trying to shore up support for both robert f. kennedy jr. as well as tulsi gabbard. now, we know that both rfk jr. and gabbard had really tough confirmation hearings this week. both of them faced very sharp questioning from not only democrats, but also republicans, and faced the most direct skepticism thus far that we've seen of any of donald trump's cabinet nominees. now, gabbard in particular, i'm told, is the one that they are the most concerned about. they meaning white house officials and those working to help get her confirmed. they believe that some of her answers during her hearings, particularly as it related to edward snowden and whether she believed h

i was very proud of senator bill cassidy questioning of kennedy. and, of course, angela.rful. tulsi gabbard, very clearly nonsensical in her support of edward snowden. but here's the problem. jd vance will have a very busy week, and i think that he'll be the deciding vote in all three of these. there's probably some significant lobbying of those senators this weekend. and, you know, all three of them are in significant trouble. but i expect that probably at least two of the three are confirmed. >> all right. your thoughts, susan. i think kash patel goes through. and then when it comes to gabbard and rfk jr. i think it's a package. either they'll both pass or. they'll both go down. and one thing that we have to look at right now is folks are looking at these positions in light of. >> how poorly. >> donald trump has handled his governmental operation, meaning that that memo that went out and said, we're going to freeze funding except for individuals, they couldn't get it right. it shows that the trump administration really has no idea how government works. they know how to

kennedy. under joe biden, his agencies were ripe with bias.it's time to clean out the rotten smerconish at robert kennedy jr.. under joe biden his age. okay, so this gets to the subject of the purge that i was just discussing with byron donalds. i'm really troubled by it because according to the accounts and cnn was leading with this when i looked earlier today, there's a purge in progress, and the purge is reaching potentially, potentially any fbi agent investigator who played any investigatory role relative to january 6th. that's a horrible outcome, right? that's a horrible outcome because just envision someone who's in the dc or the philly field office, wherever it might be. baltimore. and they're given an assignment to investigate someone who participated in breaching the capitol on that day. and because they carried out that order, which is part of their job, they're now going to be purged from government. and who do you think within the government will ever investigate this administration, if that's the takeaway? were there excesses in p

jack kennedy. lyndon johnson. lyndon johnson dropped it down to 67%, but we were all good with that 67%. and is what this was that camp. that's why people only ceos only took 30 times the lyndon johnson the jimmy carter administration. i mean, it was just like, you know, throughout all this, all this time, republic and democrats alike were like, yeah, we should have a high top tax. and and now there's like all this, oh, well, we've got to cut taxes and quite, quite quick and i've talked too long as it is just, just one last thing about are okay. are we doing okay. yeah. okay. one last thing about taxes. the thing that most americans, most middle class americans don't understand is that if you are income taxes, go up now, this rule does not apply to rich people. but if the average person's income taxes go up over a period of time, typically 3 to 5 years, their wages go up, and if your income taxes go down over a period of time, typically 3 to 5 years, your wages will go down. we've had a series of actually middle c
