1 out of 2 friends/family I have are all sick with autoimmune disease. We are VIP and a guinea pig of Big pharma, and this needs to end. I hope RFK Jr. ends it.
Same here, in the past 3 years my entire immediate family have developed autoimmune diseases. My son lost the ability to walk for almost a year, and I almost lost my eye this year (immune system started attacking them). My wife had uncontrollable joint inflammation. All 3 of us are under the care of a rheumatologist, which is insane to me because before, we almost never went to the Drs, and now we're on immunosuppressants, nerve blockers, and steroids daily. Can't be genetic either, because he's my step-son. Can't be cultural because they're Hispanic and I'm Middle Eastern. Something is seriously wrong, it feels like we're all being poisoned.

@@turdburglar88 Do you think it could be covid or vaccine related? I'm not theorizing and have no set opinions on the matter just curious about the timing. I read something recently that said some studies showed the vaccine might worsen dementia in the elderly and my dad was the only one who got the vaccine and we spent his last year dealing with a severe change in personality. Not saying it was the vaccine for sure just curious. I mean even if the vaccine is a wonderful thing there are always probabilities of side effects in some and then there are also batches made that could have a problem. Anyway, really sorry to hear your family is going through it. My mom had RA for 20 years and she ended up allergic to steroids AND opiates. She relied on the pharma biologic and Aleve and did really well on the biologic. I despise most of big pharma but i will never deny what that expensive as hell biologic did for her.

I have done some reading on JFK jr, he also wants caps on drug prices, limiting consumer drug ads and cracking down on processed foods. I can get on board with that.
until you realize fast food industries are a part of the mega corporation corruption and the food addictions will continue running rampant and killing people.
I work for a medical device manufacturer that deals with the FDA along with other international regulatory bodies and I can confirm that the FDA as the operate today is a complete joke.
I went to my primary care physician a few days ago. He told me some things. A couple of days later, I saw Robert F. Kennedy, Jr on television basically saying to me the same thing my doctor told me. I became really pissed off at myself for not doing what I knew was right and that is a proper nutrition (eating the right things) and exercise. A few minutes later, I got off my ass and got on my bike that I had not been on since Feb 2024. The motivation was always there for me, but not my initiative. I have been exercising and changed my eating habits completely. I already feel better.
Excellent! Now advocate for more bike lanes and incentives to get people cycling more. In most of the US you're taking your life in your hands riding a bike on most roads. There is also a culture of driving bigger and bigger cars in most places. RFK mixes in some common sense but then jumps off a cliff with conspiracy theories. Psyched to hear someone someone talk about cycling here 🙂 Congrats on the change and feeling better.
I'm super happy about this personally. Our food system and pharmaceutical industry are awful. I think RFK Jr just wants to put out honest information. I'm for it 100%, and I hope people listen and engage. Liberals outside of the mainstream have been calling for this for a long time.
Cenk, when 9/11 happened did you sign up for the military like Tulsi? Lt.Col after serving 3 tours. Honorably serve for 20 years. Still in active duty. Calling her a fraud is pathetic.
Yeah , he should have said JD Vance is a puppet of the Heritage Foundation and Tulsi is Putin's lapdog. 💯 That would have been a better way to put it.💯💯💯
I’ve worked in food production facilities for the last 16 years. If you want to know why I think there are always outbreaks of certain things in our food and recalls all the time, it’s because of the way that we do inspections in this country. Every facility that I’ve worked at gets told many months in advance that inspections are going to take place. When this happens management is on the ball to make sure every rule is followed to the letter, and all facilities are cleaned up really well to look presentable. Once inspections are done, things fall to the wayside and corners are cut, cleanliness is not always upheld etc etc. I’ve been saying for years now that how this is done is a complete joke. How can you even call it a true inspection if you give these companies ridiculous forewarning before you show up? It just allows them to hide what normally goes on to pass inspection, and then go back to their usual ways.
I'll happily take the guy who's sued polluters and poisoners and won. RFK Jr as HHS Secretary has the potential to be trajectory changing for the American people. Let us hope he's not smeared during confirmation hearings, and instead, asked good faith questions and allowed the time to provide his answers.
I followed RFK, Jr from the time he started his campaign for President. He was the guy that should have been President. But democratic party didn't want that. They stopped the one guy who could have beat Trump. This tells me democrats didn't want him to end the corporate capture of our government agencies. So enjoy Trump.
The FDA just needs to be more in line with European countries. Thats not unrealistic. Look how fat our country is. Sugar and man made chemicals do have long lasting effects.
RFK has talked about this how products over here have 100 ingredients and the same shit in Europe only has four ingredients. And I’ve been to Germany a few times and I’m like look what’s in this food over here compared to back in the United States and I’m like this is so much healthier to eat. I actually recognize some ingredients in Germany. I have to Google my phone this shit that I read over here. Butter, milk, and potato chips. We know the ingredients and anything outside of that you have to Google it.

As someone who has worked in the food industry, the FDA does not have the manpower to check all of the corporate and small mom & pop food manufacturers throughout the country thanks to all the cut-backs during the Reagen Administration and each Administration forward. The larger corporations have QA/QC departments who have documented HACCP programs in place to assure quality, however for the small Mom & Pop industries it is a crap-shoot. The problem with the larger suppliers is this stupid just-in-time manufacturing concept. Because of this, these manufacturers play Russian Roulette with the food supply chain by allowing production to package and ship before the results from the QC labs are completed. Playing this game wouldn't be so bad if the product is cooked properly, and that is what these food suppliers are betting on. However, when it comes to fruits and vegetables which can be eaten raw the unknown might and can kill you. The incident with Taylor Farms and the E.coli outbreak , IMO, may have been a poorly sampled batch tested by Taylor Farms, QC Department. What I found extremely shocking is how long it took McDonald's to trace back to their supplier and how long it took to isolate those lots. That is a red flag in product recall. Those lots should have been isolated and destroyed immediately. Not allowed for weeks to sit on the shelves of those McDonald's restaurants sickening and killing the consumer. www.cspinet.org/statement/house-appropriations-bill-undermines-food-safety-food-and-drug-administration
💯 RFK seems like the only who wants to actually do some good. Getting harmful chemicals out of foods seems like a no brainer. He’s not perfect, but he’s the best one out of all the nominees.
For those in the back, "natural flavors" is super high fructose corn syrup. Europe has decent standards for food and we can't even get honest labels on ours.
Ask your dentist about fluoride they well tell you the fluoride in their office says it is not to be ingested. Last time I checked people ingest water.
RFK's hearing will be an interesting test of the BS cycle. In reality he has a pretty nuanced position about vaccines, and the ways in which he is wrong are subtle.
Cenk is being ridiculously simplistic here. No expert would debate the vaccine "issue" because the people you would hope to convince or convert ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO UNDERSTAND WHO IS RIGHT. They don't need a better argument. They need help.
This is why you lost election. And you have arrogance by proxy. You also don't understand jackshit about vaccines, you just 100% believe in scientists while even themselves don't believe in themselves that much.

I'm with RFK Jr. We need someone not beholden to America's pharmaceutical industry and their need to keep people sick and on pills. If RFK. Jr. gets a sudden heart attack or goes missing because he won't bow down to big business. I think this will be positive.
Cuckoo for cocoa puffs. He doesn't believe HIV causes AIDS. Trump won't let RFK do anything that hurts any big donors.

Watch RFK vs Rachel Lavine, who would you rather pick to help make you understand why people are not taking the Democratic party seriously and answer the question of how Trump happened.
The reason why scientists refused to have a debate about vaccines with RFK is because it's like debating a flat earther on astronomy. It's not about being a coward. It's about not entertaining nonsense.
When all the studies are coming from the compaines that are profiting from the vaccines. It's time someone without a horse in the race takes a look. These pharma compaines can not be trusted and they pay all our media and politicians to keep the narrative spinning. They even write the medial literature taught to our doctors! This is not a flat earther situation.
thats why you only eat fresh fruits (lots of cruciferous veggies which prevent cancer) and veggies (washed thoroughly) , beans, and cottage cheese....nothing processed. that way you don't have to worry about chemicals> I am 65 and I take NO meds.

@@matthewj6154 This is a weird thing to ask since this information is already public. You might as well ask for the chemical formula of water
All of this research is published in the academic literature, and a huge amount of it is free to access. Do you honestly have no understanding how the publication process works when it comes to peer-reviewed research?
This is amazing, after Trump won the Presidency, Senate, House and Popular Vote he's now proceeding to create a big tent party to unite the nation!
- Liberal, RFK to be appointed as health secretary
- Progressive, Tulsi to be appointed director of national intelligence.
- Libertarian, Ron Paul to assist EV business mogul Elon Musk to slash wasteful spending via Department of government efficiency.
1 out of 2 friends/family I have are all sick with autoimmune disease. We are VIP and a guinea pig of Big pharma, and this needs to end. I hope RFK Jr. ends it.
He won't.
Same here, in the past 3 years my entire immediate family have developed autoimmune diseases. My son lost the ability to walk for almost a year, and I almost lost my eye this year (immune system started attacking them). My wife had uncontrollable joint inflammation. All 3 of us are under the care of a rheumatologist, which is insane to me because before, we almost never went to the Drs, and now we're on immunosuppressants, nerve blockers, and steroids daily. Can't be genetic either, because he's my step-son. Can't be cultural because they're Hispanic and I'm Middle Eastern.
Something is seriously wrong, it feels like we're all being poisoned. I hate to put my hopes in another person, but nobody else but RFK is asking why we're all so sick.
@@turdburglar88 Do you think it could be covid or vaccine related? I'm not theorizing and have no set opinions on the matter just curious about the timing. I read something recently that said some studies showed the vaccine might worsen dementia in the elderly and my dad was the only one who got the vaccine and we spent his last year dealing with a severe change in personality. Not saying it was the vaccine for sure just curious. I mean even if the vaccine is a wonderful thing there are always probabilities of side effects in some and then there are also batches made that could have a problem. Anyway, really sorry to hear your family is going through it. My mom had RA for 20 years and she ended up allergic to steroids AND opiates. She relied on the pharma biologic and Aleve and did really well on the biologic. I despise most of big pharma but i will never deny what that expensive as hell biologic did for her. I mean it saved her. (She also discovered fasting was miraculous and she knew if she drank wine or ate grapes she would wake up hurting.)
@@turdburglar88 Ever consider that it's in your family genetics? Just a hunch.
RFK JR is the real deal and if the Democrats lost him they should be ashamed
RFK Jr. proposed a monetary cap on pharmaceutical drugs, alleviating the costs for everyday Americans.
@@prophetmomo He also said that covid was engineered to not affect jews. So, for every sane he says we’re going to pretend he didn’t say 5 other insane things. Is this like the bible now? We can choose which parts we are going to ignore?

@@IvanRivera-h8nwell the actions matter more than rhetoric.
@@plesiolord1229 and his actions have been sizably insane. Including when he exploited the passings of several kids that never took a vaccine, and falsely blamed the vaccine for their passing.
@@plesiolord1229 what actions has he done? Where is evidence and data that anything he has suggested has ever been applied successfully?

This could be the greatest administrations off all time
It will be. Because it has to be. God willing.
I have done some reading on JFK jr, he also wants caps on drug prices, limiting consumer drug ads and cracking down on processed foods. I can get on board with that.
Don't be so sure....
until you realize fast food industries are a part of the mega corporation corruption and the food addictions will continue running rampant and killing people.
I work for a medical device manufacturer that deals with the FDA along with other international regulatory bodies and I can confirm that the FDA as the operate today is a complete joke.
It's about to become even more of a joke now.
I went to my primary care physician a few days ago. He told me some things. A couple of days later, I saw Robert F. Kennedy, Jr on television basically saying to me the same thing my doctor told me. I became really pissed off at myself for not doing what I knew was right and that is a proper nutrition (eating the right things) and exercise. A few minutes later, I got off my ass and got on my bike that I had not been on since Feb 2024. The motivation was always there for me, but not my initiative. I have been exercising and changed my eating habits completely. I already feel better.
Excellent! Now advocate for more bike lanes and incentives to get people cycling more. In most of the US you're taking your life in your hands riding a bike on most roads. There is also a culture of driving bigger and bigger cars in most places. RFK mixes in some common sense but then jumps off a cliff with conspiracy theories. Psyched to hear someone someone talk about cycling here 🙂 Congrats on the change and feeling better.
I hope RFK gives a shout out to the people in Samoa especially the little kids.
Relax, folks. He hasn't appointed Count Dracula or Jack The Ripper yet.
Cenk would prefer Count Chocula
Or “the late, great Hannibal Lecter.”
We're still consuming processed food with chemicals that are banned in Europe. Of all of the nominees, I'm most comfortable with Kennedy.
The idea that he has some good points on food regulation in this country doesn't make him qualified to run federal health organizations, dum dum.
I'm super happy about this personally. Our food system and pharmaceutical industry are awful. I think RFK Jr just wants to put out honest information. I'm for it 100%, and I hope people listen and engage. Liberals outside of the mainstream have been calling for this for a long time.
If they could ban Roundup like they have in every other developed country, that would be a huge win for our health.
Calling Tulsi Gabbard a fraud is a complete low blow- be better Cenk!!
Cenk, when 9/11 happened did you sign up for the military like Tulsi? Lt.Col after serving 3 tours. Honorably serve for 20 years. Still in active duty. Calling her a fraud is pathetic.
Damn. Love him or hate him. Trump ain't fking around.
This was so surprisingly fair!! Kennedy is an amazing person and advocate for people and our planet. I’m so relieved Trump actually kept his word…
Trump always tries to keep his word.
Jenk: JD is a fraud. Tulsi is a fraud.
I can't take you seriously, Jenk.
Ana, get out! We are rooting for you.
Ana is another FRAUD.
Cenk and clowns were shilling for Kamala till the results came 😂😂😂
Yeah , he should have said JD Vance is a puppet of the Heritage Foundation and Tulsi is Putin's lapdog. 💯 That would have been a better way to put it.💯💯💯
as a Canadian visiting America I was SO surprised at y'all's sugar amounts in food & drink. it'd be exciting to see him do something about that.
Yeah we are all being slow killed through our food.....neat huh?
@@BackWhereYouStarted lol he won't republicans are about deregulation not regulation
I’ve worked in food production facilities for the last 16 years. If you want to know why I think there are always outbreaks of certain things in our food and recalls all the time, it’s because of the way that we do inspections in this country. Every facility that I’ve worked at gets told many months in advance that inspections are going to take place. When this happens management is on the ball to make sure every rule is followed to the letter, and all facilities are cleaned up really well to look presentable. Once inspections are done, things fall to the wayside and corners are cut, cleanliness is not always upheld etc etc. I’ve been saying for years now that how this is done is a complete joke. How can you even call it a true inspection if you give these companies ridiculous forewarning before you show up? It just allows them to hide what normally goes on to pass inspection, and then go back to their usual ways.
RFK really does care about the environment, that's why Trump keeps saying they're gonna keep away from the oil.
Trump cares about the environment too, but oil is used for basically everything. Good luck getting rid of it. The left can't even talk about nuclear.
@@GameDevChad I don't think its so much getting rid of it, but educating people it might not be good for your health ... as no authority says that now
Imo, it's one of Trump's better picks, as long as RFK sticks to what he wants to do.
I have to agree. This guy is nuts but he's not wrong about the shyt they put in our food. I'm not mad at that
When they say we need healthier food in the USA, especially in public school lunches, that should actually be bipartisan. I’ll try to be unbiased.
Great job by Trump on this one. American health is in the toilet atm.
Guess Trump wants to beat the body count from his last term
True. He did fast track the vaccine
I'll happily take the guy who's sued polluters and poisoners and won. RFK Jr as HHS Secretary has the potential to be trajectory changing for the American people. Let us hope he's not smeared during confirmation hearings, and instead, asked good faith questions and allowed the time to provide his answers.
I followed RFK, Jr from the time he started his campaign for President. He was the guy that should have been President. But democratic party didn't want that. They stopped the one guy who could have beat Trump. This tells me democrats didn't want him to end the corporate capture of our government agencies. So enjoy Trump.
Trump kept his promise to people who supported him. Many on the left said he won't if he won.
The FDA just needs to be more in line with European countries. Thats not unrealistic. Look how fat our country is. Sugar and man made chemicals do have long lasting effects.
RFK has talked about this how products over here have 100 ingredients and the same shit in Europe only has four ingredients. And I’ve been to Germany a few times and I’m like look what’s in this food over here compared to back in the United States and I’m like this is so much healthier to eat. I actually recognize some ingredients in Germany. I have to Google my phone this shit that I read over here. Butter, milk, and potato chips. We know the ingredients and anything outside of that you have to Google it.
@@Ray-wu5on I was in the military and traveled all around Europe and the food was way better and tasted fresh.

Imagine that.
RFK in HHS makes me giddy. There might be a lawyer shortage because the system is about to literally get railed
🎉🎉🎉
This will be interesting for sure…there should no pharma commercials! And if he can make improvements with processed food that would be awesome ✌🏼
As someone who has worked in the food industry, the FDA does not have the manpower to check all of the corporate and small mom & pop food manufacturers throughout the country thanks to all the cut-backs during the Reagen Administration and each Administration forward. The larger corporations have QA/QC departments who have documented HACCP programs in place to assure quality, however for the small Mom & Pop industries it is a crap-shoot. The problem with the larger suppliers is this stupid just-in-time manufacturing concept. Because of this, these manufacturers play Russian Roulette with the food supply chain by allowing production to package and ship before the results from the QC labs are completed. Playing this game wouldn't be so bad if the product is cooked properly, and that is what these food suppliers are betting on. However, when it comes to fruits and vegetables which can be eaten raw the unknown might and can kill you.
The incident with Taylor Farms and the E.coli outbreak , IMO, may have been a poorly sampled batch tested by Taylor Farms, QC Department. What I found extremely shocking is how long it took McDonald's to trace back to their supplier and how long it took to isolate those lots. That is a red flag in product recall. Those lots should have been isolated and destroyed immediately. Not allowed for weeks to sit on the shelves of those McDonald's restaurants sickening and killing the consumer.

💯 RFK seems like the only who wants to actually do some good. Getting harmful chemicals out of foods seems like a no brainer. He’s not perfect, but he’s the best one out of all the nominees.
Huh, this could just be what actual progressive-ism looks like. Looks neat to me.
We need the "natural flavors" gone!
For those in the back, "natural flavors" is super high fructose corn syrup. Europe has decent standards for food and we can't even get honest labels on ours.

Using TYT logic, maybe scientists should "come out of their caves" and start debating flat-earthers as well.
Dumbass. The whole point is for health education.
The disaster is what we already have Cenk
Ask your dentist about fluoride they well tell you the fluoride in their office says it is not to be ingested. Last time I checked people ingest water.
Very tiny amounts. The stuff in dentist is highly concentrated.
RFK's hearing will be an interesting test of the BS cycle. In reality he has a pretty nuanced position about vaccines, and the ways in which he is wrong are subtle.
Cenk is being ridiculously simplistic here. No expert would debate the vaccine "issue" because the people you would hope to convince or convert ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO UNDERSTAND WHO IS RIGHT. They don't need a better argument. They need help.
This is why you lost election. And you have arrogance by proxy. You also don't understand jackshit about vaccines, you just 100% believe in scientists while even themselves don't believe in themselves that much.
Sounds like you're just being lazy and arrogant. Liberals need to get the hell away from people like you.
Make American Food Free of Poison Again
RFK is going to be remembered as one of the greatest Americans in history with the uncountable extra years of good health he is going to provide through all this research and vision and it will not just be Americans longevity and overall health that will be improved it will only start in America and once we conquer the health crisis it will spread around the globe forever cementing RFK as a true patriot and friend to the 🌎
hell yeah he wilL!
Praying it is so.
Don't hold your breath.
The worm is the smartest thing in his skull.
I'm with RFK Jr. We need someone not beholden to America's pharmaceutical industry and their need to keep people sick and on pills. If RFK. Jr. gets a sudden heart attack or goes missing because he won't bow down to big business. I think this will be positive.
Cuckoo for cocoa puffs. He doesn't believe HIV causes AIDS. Trump won't let RFK do anything that hurts any big donors. Also, congress and the courts won't let the orange toddler do it either. 0% chance anything Cenk said "what if" about will happen. This conversation was just a waste of time and navel gazing. While this clown show takes over they will be grifting the USG blind meaning stealing from all of us.
If you look up what Bobby's accomplished in his life (one of which is cleaning up the Hudson river) you would understand he's the real deal. Show me another Kennedy from his generation that has done more for the betterment of the people in this country.
The other Kennedy's just keep withdrawing from their trust funds, getting drunk and fat just like the Sea Lion of the Senate...Teddy.

We HAVE been going wild on (un)health for decades. One thing is sure: RFKs passion for this is real. He's done it his entire life
The reason why scientists refused to have a debate about vaccines with RFK is because it's like debating a flat earther on astronomy. It's not about being a coward. It's about not entertaining nonsense.
When all the studies are coming from the compaines that are profiting from the vaccines. It's time someone without a horse in the race takes a look. These pharma compaines can not be trusted and they pay all our media and politicians to keep the narrative spinning. They even write the medial literature taught to our doctors! This is not a flat earther situation.
Too much corruption in the food industry. This is a great appointment, and the chemicLs in our food should have been looked into 40 years ago.
thats why you only eat fresh fruits (lots of cruciferous veggies which prevent cancer) and veggies (washed thoroughly) , beans, and cottage cheese....nothing processed. that way you don't have to worry about chemicals> I am 65 and I take NO meds.
prediction: If RFK JR is serious about more regulation and challenging corporations, Trump is gonna fire his ass. Trump is a climate change denier who believes government should not regulate businesses. So...
RFK is a 70 year old man and he is ripped! That is all you need to know.

Thanks for giving RFK and Trump a fair shake.
I think your nation has a lot of health issues caused by all the chemicals and ingredients in your food that are banned elsewhere. Whenever I go to the US I am very wary of what I eat as your food standards are significantly lower than here in Europe...
America and Americans rank so poorly compared to world health standards under the current government. I'm glad that you are open to discussing vaccines and food heath with an open mind.
