Speaker 1: Welcome back to The Michael Cohen Show on our continued
journey to now five hundred thousand subscribers, So subscribe, watch
all right, comment and share with your friends because there's
so much chaos going on now of all of the people,
believe it or not, all of the people, and that
included Matt Gates that Trump nominated for cabinet positions, none
possibly more unqualified than RFK Junior. Yesterday, we had a
chance to witness RFK at his hearing, his confirmation hearing,
and I want to go over what he spoke about,
but I also want to draw your attention to this week,
his own cousin, Caroline Kennedy. She spoke out about her cousin.
She spoke out about RFK, saying that he is completely
one hundred percent unqualified for the job. And he then
started to speak about changing his mind. I mean perfect timing, right.
He spoke about changing his mind and what he now
believes is that he is now pro vaccine. And while
he was making this statement, a protester interrupted him.
Speaker 2: Play the clip.
Speaker 3: Make sure the committee is clear about a few things.
Those reports have claimed that I am anti vaccine or
any industry. I am neither. I am pro safeting. We'll have.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have to do what we have to
do as citizens of this country. You need to call
bullshit when somebody's lying and they're just overtly lying to
your face. I know he wants to get confirmed. Don't
get me wrong, nobody does. Nobody wants to get booted
from the position. But at the same point in time,
he's now pro vaccine after everything. I don't know if
you listen to my Maya Kulpa podcasts, it's the one
with the blue background icon. I had RFK on it,
and he acknowledges he is an anti vaxer. He is
not pro vaccine now. He then goes on to say
that all of his kids are vaccinated, which is true.
By the way, it happens to be true, his kids
are vaccinated. Nevertheless, he's an anti vaxer.
Speaker 3: Play the clip, and I believe that that vaccines play
a critical role in healthcare. All of my kids are vaccinated.
I've read many books on vaccines. My first book in
twenty fourteen, the first line of it is I am
not anti vaccine and the life.
Speaker 1: Well, you certainly said something different on my podcast that
I can tell you for certain, Bernie Sanders win. And
he then asks RFK why his own website. Why rfk's
own website sells anti vax merchandise When you're now saying
that you are pro vax, right, it doesn't make any sense.
Either you are or you're not. And if you are
an anti vaxer, own it. But don't sit there and lie,
lie to to the members of Congress.
Speaker 2: Lie to the American people. Play the clip as I'm
running out of time.
Speaker 4: I think the gist of what you are trying to
say today is you're really pro vaccine.
Speaker 3: You want to ask questions.
Speaker 4: You have started a group called the Children's Health Defense.
You're the original note right now, as I understand that
on their website they are selling what's called onesies, these
little things clothing for babies. One of them is dialed
on facts unafraid, next one and the sould for twenty
six bucks a piece.
Speaker 2: By the way, next one is.
Speaker 3: No vax, no problem.
Speaker 4: Now you're coming before this committee and you say you
are pro vaccine, just want to ask some questions, and
yet your organization is making money selling a child's product
to parents for twenty six bucks, which cast fundamental doubt
on the usefulness of vaccines. Can you tell us now
that you will, now that you are pro vaccine, that
you're going to have your organization take these products off the.
Speaker 3: Market, Senator, I have no power over that organization. I'm
not you hard of it. I resigned from the board
that was just a few months ago.
Speaker 2: You founded that. You certainly have power you can make that.
Speaker 3: How are you supportive of this I've had nothing to
do with.
Speaker 2: Are you supportive of these ones?
Speaker 3: These I'm supportive of vaccines. Are you supportive of.
Speaker 4: These this clothing which is militantly anti vaccine?
Speaker 3: I am supportive of vaccines. Well, I want good science
and I want to protect.
Speaker 4: But you will not tell the organization you founded not
to continue selling that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, again, on Monday, he's anti VAXX. On Tuesday he's
pro vax Understand that the second that God forbid this
guy gets in that vaccinations are going to be removed. Now,
Elizabeth Warren then turns around and asks RFK about the
measles outbreak that's going on in Samoa.
Speaker 5: Yet ultimately more than seventy people died because they didn't
get vaccines. So my question is, do you accept even
a sentilly, just even a sliver of responsibility for the
drop in vaccinations and the subsequent deaths of more than
seventy people. Anything you do differently.
Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. After there were two incidents which children
died in twenty fifteen. In twenty eight twenty fifteen, it
was from the MEAs vaccine. As with the New Zealand
General Hospital found. The government of Samoa banned the measles
vaccine after the twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: Are okay, RFK, let me ask you a question in
furtherance of senator warrants? Are you aware that right now
that there's a tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas TB? The first
moment that I got to Otisville, to Federal Correctional Institution Otisville,
they give you a vaccination for TB. It's something that
is literally nonexistent in this country. All of a sudden,
out of nowhere, there's an outbreak and several people have died.
Are you going to pull TB vac nations off the
market as well? It's right, It's right in front of
your nose. He then further goes on to say, he
says this about the outbreak. Play this clip.
Speaker 3: I went there, nothing to do with vaccines. I went
there to introdus a medical informatic system. I would digitalize
records and SAMOA and make health delivery much more efficient.
I never taught, gave any public statement about vaccines. You
cannot find a single samoan who will say I didn't
get a vaccine because of Bobby Kennedy. I went to
June of twenty nineteen. The measle's house break started in August. Oh,
clearly I had nothing to do with the measle. Was
not only that to Kennedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you didn't have anything to do with it
because you're not the secretaries of the Health and Human Services.
But the question becomes, what if you do become you
are an anti vaxer. Just own it. Because he gets
caught in a line a blatant lie when he's asked
about what he had previously said, that pesticides caused children
get a load of this shit that pesticides cause children
to become transgender.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said it. Play the clip.
Speaker 4: Did you say that exposure to pesticide causes children to
become transgender?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: I never said that. I think a lot of the
problems we see in kids, and particularly boys, it's probably
underappreciated that how much of that is coming from chemical exposures,
including a lot of the sexual dysphoria that we're seeing.
I mean, they're swimming through a soup of toxic chemicals today,
and many of those are antocrine disruptors, and there's atresine
throughout our water supply addressine. By the way, if you
in a lab put adrezine in a tank full of frogs,
it will chemically castrate and force forcibly feminize every frog
in there, and ten percent of the frogs, the male frogs,
will will turn into fully viable females able to produce
viable eggs. If it's doing that the frogs could there's
a lot of other evidence that it's doing it to
human beings as well.
Speaker 2: I didn't say he did.
Speaker 1: Then, Maggie Hassan asks RFK about him being pro choice.
Speaker 2: What you hear this answer? Play the clip.
Speaker 6: Now, let's go to something we agree upon. I am
really heartened to see that one area where we agree
on is on women's reproductive freedom. In your own words,
it's not the government's place to tell people what to
do with their bodies. You said that, correct, Yep, mister Kennedy.
In twenty twenty three, you came to New Hampshire and said, quote,
I'm pro choice. I don't think the government has any
business telling people what they can or cannot do with
their body.
Speaker 3: So you said, right, yes, yep.
Speaker 6: But you also said we need to trust the women
to make that choice, because I don't trust government to
make any choices.
Speaker 3: You said that too, right.
Speaker 6: Yes, it is remarkable that you have such a long
record of fighting for women's reproductive freedom and really great
that my Republican colleagues are so open to voting for
a pro choice HHS secretary.
Speaker 2: So mister, yeah, he was hating that question. I could
tell you that now. RFK was then.
Speaker 1: Asked about blaming of school shootings on antidepressants. He's really dangerous.
Play this clip.
Speaker 2: So let me ask you.
Speaker 7: In an interview in twenty twenty three and again in
twenty twenty four, you blamed school shootings on antidepressants. You said,
and this is a quote, there is no time in
American history or human history that kids are going to
shoot schools and shooting their classmates. It really started happening
terminus with the introduction of these drugs, with Prozac and
with other drugs. So do you believe, as you've said,
that antidepressants cause school shootings. This is a should be
a simple question.
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody can answer that question. And I
didn't answer that question. I said it. So your answer
is I said it should be studied along with other
potential call bred slave. They may cause social media. Yeah,
but I don't know. I would never make because there's
no science on that.
Speaker 7: Well there is, Senator, I mean, excuse me, there is,
mister Kennedy. The science shows that there is no link
between school shootings and antidepressants, and in fact, most school
shooters were not even treated with antidepressants, and of those
that were, there was no evidence of association.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think my question, Senator, because the
Hipper rules, nobody knows.
Speaker 7: Well, that is, mister Kennedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just not it's just not accurate, all right.
Raphael Warnock then goes on to ask him about his
previous comments that the CDC Center for Disease Controls work
is comparable to Nazi death camps. No, no, really, this
is what our hearings have devolved into.
Speaker 8: Play the clip, mister Kennedy, you have compared the CDC's
work to Nazi death camps. You've compared it to sexual
abusers in the Catholic Church. You've also said that many
of them belong This is a direct quote, many of
them belong in jail. For me, those are disturbing characterizations
of the CDC workers that I know, who are trying
to keep the American public safe every single day.
Speaker 3: And as you are.
Speaker 8: Presented as denominee for this position, I need to know
do you stand by those statements that you made in
the past or do you attract those previous statements?
Speaker 3: Senator, I don't believe that I ever compared the CDC
to Nazi death camps. I support the CDC. My job
is not dismantle or arm the CDC. My job is
to par the scientists if I'm privileged to be confirmed.
Speaker 2: So you retract those statements.
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I'm not retracting it. I never said it.
Speaker 8: Well, well, actually, I have a transcript of.
Speaker 3: Me saying that it's.
Speaker 2: Let me read your.
Speaker 8: Words, says that the institution CDC and the vaccine program
is your description of their work is more important than
the children that it's supposed to protect. And you know
it's the same reason we had a pedophile scandal in
the Catholic Church, it's because people were able to convince
themselves that the institution of the church was more important
than these little boys and girls who were being raped.
That's pretty provocative language you said in another statement to me,
this is like Nazi death camp. I mean one another,
I mean, let me finish. I'm just reading your words.
I mean, what happens, what happened to these kids? One
in thirty one boys in this country. Their minds are
being robbed from them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was not comparing the CDC to Nazi death camps.
I was comparing the injury raid to our children to
other atrocities.
Speaker 1: Okay, if that's really what you meant, sure now. Lastly,
I want to end this episode with a clip of
RFK talking about President Trump's favorite flight food, McDonald's.
Speaker 2: Play the clip.
Speaker 3: Make sure that Americas are away. But I don't want
to take food away from anybody. If you like a
cheese bag, McDonald's, cheezburger coke, which my boss loves, you
should be able to get them. I want to how's
this dwinkies. You should be able to do that, But
you should know what the impacts are on your family
and on your health.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm with that. I'm absolutely with that. In fact,
you've heard me say many times. It's not that I
disagree with everything that RFK stands for. I disagree with
him on his positions on vaccines, and that's why I
don't think he's competent or qualified. But yeah, I believe
that everybody should know exactly what it is that you're eating.
I believe that the processed foods are horrible for us,
and I believe that everything has just too much sugar.
It's why diabetes in this country is skyrocketing. But I'm
not so sure that I'm willing to sacrifice not knowing
what's in McDonald's for having somebody like RFK running HSS
and the chaos that's going to come from somebody like him.
So please remember, subscribe, watch, comment, and share because the
chaos isn't going away, And as always, thanks for listening.
