RFK Jr. just walked into Congress and took down his biggest critics in one fell swoop.
This was a masterclass.
A dentist congressman came out swinging on fluoride. By the time Kennedy finished, he realized he picked the wrong fight.
Then, a Democrat tried to accuse Kennedy of politicizing children’s health—but he got emotional, broke through the noise, and completely flipped the script on her.
If you watch one thing today, make it this. Kennedy just took the MAHA agenda to the next level.
Right out of the gate in his first major congressional hearing as HHS Secretary, Kennedy laid out a sweeping plan to reshape HHS from the ground up.
Here’s what’s on deck:
- Ending “gain-of-function experiments and research based upon radical gender ideology”
- A full-scale crackdown on fentanyl and drug addiction
- $94 billion toward better food, fitness, and childcare
- FDA action to remove toxic chemicals from the food supply
- Slashing wasteful NIH projects
- Merging mental health and addiction programs for faster, better care
- Giving local leaders more power to fix problems in their own communities
- A major upgrade to Head Start, the early education program for low-income children
“We intend to make the Trump HHS not just the most effective, but also the most compassionate in U.S. history,” Kennedy said.
Then came a tense back-and-forth with Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who tried to pin him down on tobacco prevention funding. Kennedy didn’t just answer—he flipped the entire narrative.
DeLauro asked, “Do you commit to following the law, again, fully obligating those funds so that we can help adults who want to quit using tobacco and prevent teens from becoming addicted?”
Kennedy fired back: “Allow me to answer that by pointing out the absolute cataclysmic disorganization of this agency. Under your oversight, for 40 years, we had nine separate offices of Women’s Health.”
And he didn’t stop there.
“When we consolidate them, the Democrats say we’re eliminating them. We’re not. We’re still appropriating the 3.7 billion, but we’re not keeping all nine. We had eight separate offices for minority health. We eliminated one. We had 27 HIV offices.”
DeLauro tried to interrupt—“Okay, let me just. I’m going to—”
But Kennedy kept rolling: “We had 59 behavioral health programs.”
At that point, DeLauro backed off: “I’m well over time.”
One of the most jaw-dropping moments came when Rep. Mike Simpson, a dentist, tried to challenge Kennedy on fluoride—and instantly regretted it.
“We better put a lot more money into dental education because we’re going to need a whole lot more dentists [if we ban fluoride],” Simpson said.
The rebuttal was too easy for Kennedy.
“We now know that virtually all the benefit [from fluoride] is from topical, and we can get that through mouthwashes. We can get through fluoridated toothpastes.”
Then came the line that hit hard:
“The National Toxicity Program issued a report in August, a meta review of all the science that now exists on fluoride, and showed a direct inverse correlation between fluoride exposure dose and lower IQ.”
“Which is an issue that we all have to be concerned with. We want high IQ kids right now,” Kennedy added.
Later, Rep. Steny Hoyer demanded answers on HHS budget cuts—but Kennedy was ready with numbers and a blunt dose of reality.
“We’re spending $2 trillion a year that we don’t have!”
He followed up: “When you’re spending $2 trillion more than you have, you have to make cuts.”
Hoyer pressed again. Kennedy stayed firm.
“The cuts that were done were cuts that were to duplication, to redundancy, to streamlining,” he said. “We increased our workforce 70% in four years. So we were going back to the 2019 levels.”
Then came a moment of visible deflation from Rep. Mark Pocan, who tried—repeatedly—to get Kennedy to endorse vaccines.
“If you had a child today, would you vaccinate that child for measles?” Pocan asked.
Kennedy didn’t bite.
“What I would say is my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant,” he said. “I think what we’re going to try to do is to lay out the pros and cons, the risks and benefits accurately as we understand them.”
Pocan pressed again: “Can you talk about chickenpox?”
Kennedy exposed a reality Pocan didn’t want to hear:
“Again, I don’t want to give advice. I can tell you in Europe, they don’t use the chickenpox vaccine specifically because the preclinical trial shows that when you inoculate the population for chickenpox, you get shingles in older people, which is more dangerous.”
Desperate for something, Pocan asked, “Polio?”
“Again, I don’t want to be giving advice,” Kennedy replied.
Pocan backed off with a clear look of disappointment: “That’s fair. No, that’s fair. Like I said, I was not doing it as a gotcha…”
One of the most shocking revelations came when Kennedy pointed to corruption inside NIH as the reason we still don’t have a cure for Alzheimer’s.
“For 20 years, because of utter corruption and fraud, we were directing Alzheimer’s research to one hypothesis, and any other hypothesis was shut down,” RFKJr said.
This is absolutely true.
Turns out Alzheimer’s is not caused by plaques in the brain.
But EVERY treatment for it is designed to reduce plaques in the brain, often resulting in strokes.
The most recent area of study as to the real cause of Alzheimer’s is gum disease allowing infectious agents to travel via nerves in the mouth to the brain.
I did research on deer and CWD ( a prion disease) decades ago.
Deer like thorny food, like roses and brambles.
Their tongues and mouths often get cuts.
When they are exposed get exposed to CWD orally the disease hits their brains fastest of any other animal/human.
Just 47 days between infection and symptoms.
That’s because the path to the brain is very short.
Thru digestion, like in most other animals, it can take 5 to 10 YEARS before symptoms appear.
