rfk, jr. wants to conduct the tuskegee experiments on all of us. he wants to observe the disease process population-wide. he believes that the f.d.a. process for determining the efficacy of medicine does not reach statistical significance and the only way to figure out if it works or not is to administer placebos to half of the population and just see what happens. and it was last friday-- i was already against this nomination, i don't want to act like i was undecided, but last friday when i heard that he did that, i got a chill up and down my spine and every time i recount it to you i still get a chill up and down my spine to think it's more than 50 years later and we are still fighting this fight. and so, i want to thank all of you for being a part of this. i do think we have a chance. it's very unclear what will happen next in terms of republican votes, but i believe, i believe, don't know-- i believe the democrats will be united and i think we can defeat this nomination, not for partisan r

rfk jr. normal for a day, americans figure out how to live without social media, and we'll tell you the worst way to kill a mouse. but first, let's get to the latest news on the trump administration in another edition of "the second coming of donald j. trump." ♪ ♪ >> i'm gonna come. >> michael: today is a big day for donald trump's cabinet -- the government one, not the one filled with golf trophies he gave himself. that's because today was the world's weirdest episode of "curb your enthusiasm," also known as robert f. kennedy jr.'s confirmation hearing to lead the department of health. and look, we all remember the stories about this guy from the campaign: the dead bear cub he dumped in central park, the time he sawed off the head of a dead whale and tied it to the roof of his car, the worm that died after eating part of his brain. basically, if there's an animal corpse anywhere in america, rfk jr. is probably involved. but what most people are concerned about when it comes to rfk jr. is his

rfk jr.ut how he feels about climate change or guns but there is no doubt this man believes and is praying to god he has the opportunity to help americans win it comes to their health. he was questioned by both the left and the right and it brings us to number 2 this is from senator thom tillis of north carolina he asked rfk jr. if he is a conspiracy theorist. >> have a real quick question for you are you a conspiracy theorist. [laughter] >> that's a pejorative that's applied to. is mainly to keep me from asking difficult questions pair i was told that i was a conspiracy theorist that label was applied to me because i said that the vaccines the covid-19 vaccine didn't prevent transmission and prevent infection care win the government was telling people and americans that it would appear. >> he went on to put out he was gold page conspiracy thirst is a red dye causes cancer and it's been adopted by the fda -- fda now appear he said he could along for a week as many could. conspiracy theories i

there have been zero rfk jr.. if rfk jr. is in fact confirmed, he'd be the first to be a different party than the president who in fact nominated him. and why is that so interesting? because the hhs secretary has some say over, you know, abortion in this country, abortion policy in this country. and we know that the majority of trump voters are against abortion. so that's going to be one of the interesting things to sort of focus in on. right. does rfk jr., in fact, get all the republicans? if he does, of course, he gets confirmed. but maybe his past views on abortion, how he answers those questions on how the health and human services department will deal with abortion will, in fact, perhaps persuade some republicans not to vote for him. and the last thing i'll sort of point out here, kate, this is perhaps the reason why i don't necessarily think there's going to be that many republicans who will go against him. look at rfk's net favorability rating among republicans. look at this now plus 60 points. that is up from when he

rfk jr.oing his level best to get senate democrats to see the u.s. health care system is broken. a ton of money spent, people still getting sicker. but they again made it a crazy free for if all. rfk jr. had to say, listen, you only oppose me because you, senate democrats, you have stage iv anti-trump derangement syndrome. senator roger marshall joining us in moments, and dr. peter mccullough also here to the keeping the u.s. food supply and people sick and keeping people even longer on medicaid. those costs keep going up and up. plus we've got this story tonight -- >> not expect any service that the government is required to provide. >> meals on wheels is currently in the dark. >> that is a public benefit program. there's zero impact on public benefit programs, full stop, affected. no individual assistance programs are affected. it's there in black and white. elizabeth: i don't know why they couldn't get the picture there. that was stephen miller repeatedly trying to stop the media falsely r

when rfk jr. got to samoa he went through the children's defense fund, nonprofit he founded and pushes, he used misinformation to scare all of the people of samoa away from getting vaccinated. he did not share what happened. torpedoes the vaccination program. met with the prime minister and the minister of health. i met with the same people. he scared them away from vaccinations, vaccinations dropped for measles, mumps, robella down to 31% in their country. if you get lower than 90 or 95% you get huge outbreaks. so, suddenly, because of the misinformation he was sharing, no one was vaccinated. then, a huge explosion of measles, over 5,000 cases we can account for. 83 people died. most of them children. when i spoke to the minister of health she asked if she can bring a mission medical team. we agreed and brought 70 people, health care providers myself included, we worked with their health department and vaccinated the 37,000 people and measles stopped. we would go village to village. they would ti

and that is rfk jr.. s view of public health and specifically vaccines that we need, quote, unquote, population wide studies. what does that mean? it means that you give half of the population the actual vaccine and half of the population a placebo, and see how it plays out. we are not a population that wants to be experimented on by this person who lacks any expertise in this area, and has gone out of his way to cause disease across the planet. >> so on that matter of the your island neighbor, samoa and rfk jr.. s role in the spread of disease there just to bring people up to speed. we've talked about this a number of times on the show. we've also talked about your impressive father, the first whistleblower of the tuskegee experiments. kennedy visited samoa in 2019, the year before the government of samoa had briefly suspended measles vaccinations because two children died, not because of the vaccine, but because some nurses made mistakes with the vaccine. kennedy's trip to samoa was arranged by anti-vac

elaborate on your arguments against rfk jr.y and the dangers of his anti-vaccine stance. as someone as you mentioned, as i mentioned, survived polio. >> well, as a. polio survivor, i feel a duty to speak up for all polio victims, whether people alive today suffering from post polio or not suffering at all, and those that died are extremely crippled because of polio. if we stop having the polio vaccine be given and we halt it, there's a likelihood that we will have an extreme number of people in our country have polio and suffer from the effects of this devastating disease. bobby kennedy had over the years been against vaccines. made suggestions or. talks about different studies that have been debunked. clearly debunked, and saying that the vaccines cause more damage than they do good. and of course, that no scientist subscribes to that theory and he would be in charge of policies in this country. and right after we've had the great pandemic of covid and we've got bird flu, possibly we've got it on the horizon and whether it wil

if you're alarmed about rfk jr. becoming our health secretary, there's a good chance you may be a member of his family.

rfk jr. is not a perfect person. the great leaders are, but he is the perfect person because he has the knowledge, experience, skills, and passion to get inside the government and turn this chronic disease epidemic around because this is not just an economic issue. it is a spiritual issue. >> dana: judge jeanine, i know that you know him a little bit and i'm sure you watch today. >> judge jeanine: i did watch. this goes jan politics. this about our humanity. he put party aside to join donald trump because he believed that donald trump was the best shot at making america healthy again. and everybody knows, historians know that if you are looking for reform, you need a radical. and rfk is a radical. i worked with him when he had the environmental program when i was a d.a. in westchester. he had a great program. i started in environmental crimes unit as a result of working with him. and he said i was the only republican that ever worked with him, which i found was shocking. but the truth is i am so disgusted that in 202

i think one of the concerns here is with rfk jr. and president trump, their trust when it comes to health specifically is not very high. and there's a lot of distrust, as you can see on the far right of that screen as well. so i think that these that's going to sort of be where a lot of these questions revolve. we're going to hear about vaccines, i'm sure hear about hiv, hear about germ theory, hear about all these different things. but overall, just the trust that you have in institutions or individuals to lead health. >> the public health community. sanjay, what do they want? asked at these hearings i think there's there's going to be it's going to be a day, john. >> i mean, there's going to be a lot of different questions because he has had rfk jr. has had such a long record of commenting on health issues. he started as an environmental lawyer talking about the environment sort of started really integrating human health into his discussions around environmental health. he's said in the past that he doesn't think hiv causes aids.

maybe guy like rfk jr. we need somebody out of the box, larry, that's the reason president trump picked him. he had a lot of -- kennedy had a lot of support from the millennials and health people all over the country when running for president. when he came and started supporting president trump, president trump took him on and brought millions of people to president trump's side. but, you know, he's experienced, written books, he understands what we're up against. the big thing that my two boys a year ago said that you've got to listen to these podcasts. he's right on target with the health and things going into the food and chemicals in our body, we're right on track with him. he's a good guy ready to go but has a good team. they don't realize it's not the cabinet mcellroys too, it's the people -- members too, it's the people around him getting the job done. but a good guy and perfect pick. larry: all right, senator tuberville, be well. be well. you take care of yourself, sir. we'll talk soon. >> thank yo

and so i think right now, rfk jr has the votes. are postponing the tulsi gabbard and rfk jr hearings a little bit longer, it's because there might be 1 or 2 senators that want on the republican side that want to push them a bit. so maybe the storyline changes. but where where we sit today, i believe all the remaining nominees do pass, including rfk jr, the opportunity missed for republicans and donald trump is that this isn't that hard. you find a secretary of defense that doesn't have credible allegations of sexual misconduct and actually has enterprise experience running an agency like a mad dog mattis. you could find a hhs secretary who is a leader in public health. that's not the path that donald trump chose. that's not the path senate republicans are supporting. they've missed that opportunity with the american people. but you broke it. you bought it. this is now the brand of republicans today. >> david jolly, julie sirkin, michael hadaway, thank you all. to be continued. still to come today, supreme court arguments over polic

rfk jr is. >> a democrat plant, a radical left liberal.ior is a conservative. he's not he's more liberal than anybody running on the democrat side. >> so whatever, 6 or 7 months ago, you know, they're playing what donald trump had to say very disparagingly against rfk jr back then. but i think to your point about abortion, and there were a lot of folks when kennedy was first elected who thought, well, his pro-abortion stance will tank him with conservatives. what do you really think changed? or is this just we're going to give donald trump what he wants? >> well, i think that people have looked at the other confirmation process and they realize that that if they don't get on board, there's going to be consequences. trump has made that very clear. but i think they also really like the idea of having the most iconic name in democratic history. kennedy, on the trump team. i mean, they love that notion. and of course, his vaccine background is absolute alignment. by the way, it's interesting today to see in that it was reported that in kansas,

rfk jr. heading to capitol hill this morning. set to get a grilling over his long history of controversial views as he seeks to lead the nation's health agency. and his own cousin, jfk's daughter, caroline kennedy, in a rare public rebuke, calling him a predator. >> incomprehensible to me that someone who is willing to exploit their own painful family tragedy for publicity, would be put in charge of americans' life and death situations. >> her shocking warning to lawmakers in a live report from capitol hill. >>> caught on camera. dramatic video of a fiery f-35 crash at an air force base in alaska. the pilot ejecting in the nick of time, pair suhouting to the ground. that narrow escape and what caused that to go down. >>> new hope. jonbenet ramsey's father speaking out. saying he is optimistic that the murder of his daughter could finally be solved. >> this is the first time i've felt that way, honestly, in 20 years. >> our one-on-one, straight ahead. >>> all that, plus hang on to your hats. tens of millions along the east coast b

today it is sort of bizarre except it is a shot to rfk jr.y sent somebody else to pick up his award. guy: people on the left will say these can get political look at some of trump's honorees like rush limbaugh and republican of congress. rachel: that one brought a tear to my eye. guy: that is the counterpoint. charlie: it is a great point but the thing is that no one can dispute he was the king of radio. and he brought people, he did more to sort of illuminate and by the way, i think was a -- a leading the leading edge of the republican party that donald trump has turned the republican party into. a lot of those people that working class people who maybe voted democrat, you know, could have been introduced to politics by rush limbaugh. rachel: i'm sorry -- guy: tied behind his back to make it fair. rachel: there's a fascinating "60 minutes" interview that you can go back and watch on youtube i watched with george soros from -- quite a while back. but when you watch this interview and he talks about his childhood he's sociopathic it is unbelie

one of his top priorities is making america healthy again and rfk jr. ement for this agenda. robert f. kennedy jr. is said to have the knowledge and enthusiasm and influence to affect much-needed change in our food system. dreaming i was the chef and restaurant owner. chef, i'm trying to eat healthier and drink less but enough about me, let's talk about your column in the federalist. you talk about how in your 20 years as a chef, you have seen the quality of food deteriorate. why has it deteriorated? >> it's just access to good, real foods, whole foods, local foods. so many of the major food manufacturers have really taken over our entire food system and cut out a lot of little guys cut cut out the small farms, the medium-sized farms and have just created this system in which many times the only options we have are these highly processed foods that are quite literally grown in a lab. information ups perspective we are always at the tip of the spear because we are the ones creating the trends and also giving a lot of the rebate money from massive manufact

but what are your main issues for rfk jr. >> well thank you, andrea, it's so. >> great to be with you. >> and tomorrow i am 100%. >> focused on. >> showing how we. cannot trust robert. >> f. >> kennedy jr to protect our health as the secretary of health and human services. that is his number one job. and there is nothing in his record. >> that would show us that we. >> can. >> trust him, or he has the capabilities to do the. hard work. >> and very important work that. >> he needs. >> to do. just look. >> at his record. >> on vaccines. >> where he has said that there's no vaccine that he has seen that is. >> safe or effective. >> he has said that the covid vaccine. >> was a crime. >> against humanity. this is the very. same medicine that has clearly. >> saved hundreds. >> of. >> thousands of american lives. he is not trustworthy. >> when it. comes to this. >> most important job. >> and i think. >> that you'll see my colleagues in all of the time that we have really drill in on. this and really drill in also. >> on the. conflict of interest that this. >> guy has at the same. >> time tha

plus, caroline kennedy calls her cousin, rfk jr. a predator. the scathing letter she wrote ahead of his senate hearing tomorrow as the 11th hour gets underway on this tuesday night. good evening once again. i am stephanie ruhle. hope you have got seat belts on over those pajamas, because it is day nine of the second trump administration, and right now officials around the country are wondering how much longer they'll have the federal funding they need to do things like responding to natural disasters and fighting crime. last night, the white house issued a two page document freezing billions of dollars in federal spending. several groups immediately sued, and today a judge temporarily blocked the order, but only until monday. the sweeping freeze was set to take effect at 5 p.m. eastern today. and if you're wondering, what does any of this mean? does it include services that are crucial to me or somebody in my family? could it affect my job or my workplace? these are all great questions. and here's the problem no one seems to have a clear answer

>> we were discussing that off-line, that it seems like the hot seat is equal for rfk jr.nt reasons. i have noted a lot of messengers in certain periodicals, "new york post," that have been very vociferous being anti-rfk jr. and lumping them in together right now. to be honest, i can't quite predict an outcome, which is different than what we could have said for now secretary duffy and others before him. it's going to be interesting as we get closer. a lot of those statements that are going to be coming out. i also feel like they aren't saying anything we don't know. one point about secretary duffy which i think is important. to your point about his service as congressman and his service here as a messenger, which is what i consider our role, means that he is carrying with him to this role the ability to work with the hill mixed with knowing how americans feel. that is so rare, in my opinion. is going to be quite refreshing for a d.o.t. that needs an overhaul. >> this is from abc news talking about some of the criticism tulsi gabbard has come under for her support, they cl
