Jesse Watters delivered a monologue Thursday night on Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy’s facing off with Senators at a Senate Finance Committee hearing. “They lied to you, and now they want to nuke the guy who caught them lying,” Watters said. “Kennedy has a mandate to do this, and if he fails or if they stop him from doing his job, America gets sicker and sicker and sicker. We’ll have no recruits to fight our wars, and we’ll each have to buy two seats on an airplane.”

JESSE WATTERS, FOX NEWS: Take a walk with me down memory lane. The 60s. Kennedy was president. Blue jeans were in. A burger from McDonald’s was 50 cents. Wash it down with a large Coke and a cigarette. The beaches were busting with hard bodies. And 70% of kids could pass the presidential fitness test. Push-ups, sit-ups, 50-yard dashes. You name it, we passed. Only 11% of the country had chronic disease. Today, people can’t even squeeze into their blue jeans. 8 out of 10 kids aren’t fit enough for the military. 3 out of 4 Americans have a chronic disease. And beaches look bad. We’re sicker, fatter, and the most mentally ill we’ve ever been. The experts tell us to pop pills, eat lean cuisine, and stick ozempic into our thighs. So what really happened? That’s what RFK wants to know. And for some reason, politicians in the media don’t want to know. They especially don’t want you to know. RFK went under the bright lights today, and his walk-in says it all… This guy was hired to clean house. And that’s what he’s been doing. He fired the CDC director and everyone on the vaccine advisory board. And he’s putting in his own people, unbiased scientists who follow the facts, not industry insiders who just rubber-stamp products for profit. Unhealthy senators wagged their fingers at a tan and jacked Bobby Kennedy Jr., and it didn’t go too well. SEN. RON WYDEN (D-WA): I hope that you will tell the American people how many preventable child deaths are an acceptable sacrifice for enacting an agenda that I think is fundamentally cruel and defies common sense. SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ROBERT F. KENNEDY: Senator, you’ve sat in that chair for how long? 20, 25 years while the chronic disease in our children went up to 76%. And you said nothing. You never asked the question why it’s happening. WATTERS: No one asked. These are the same people who say they’re pro-science. They’re double-masked, face-shielded, shut down schools and conducted sex changes on kids. These people said Biden was healthy. Biden. We’re not listening to them anymore. What’s in our food? Why can’t kids run a mile without collapsing? Why are doctors prescribing pills instead of diets? What’s all the screen time doing to our brains? Why does a baby get 18 shots before they’re 18 months old? It used to be 8. Now it’s 18. Why does a kid have 76 shots before they’re old enough to vote? We never used to get that many, but the CDC recommends this. And the people at the CDC recommending it are at the CDC because the vaccine industry put them there. Maybe 76 is the right amount. Maybe it could be a little less or a lot less. We don’t know. RFK is just trying to get a fresh set of eyes on it and look at the data. And senators are blindly defending vaccine companies like it’s their job. And maybe it is. SEN. MAGGIE HASSAN (D-NH): Scientists who said they wanted to brief you on the science, scientists who wanted to understand why the FDA, why you unilaterally changed the parameters for giving vaccines. KENNEDY: This is crazy talk. You’re just making stuff up. … HASSAN: So why behind closed doors? KENNEDY: It’s not behind closed doors. The industry makes the studies and they could not provide a study that said that it is effective for healthy kids. [CROSSTALK] KENNEDY: It’s all public. HASSAN: Now parents who decide that they do want their children to have a COVID vaccine — KENNEDY: You’re just making stuff up, Senator. WATTERS: Kennedy knows more about this stuff than any of these senators. This was the Senate Finance Committee, not even the Health Committee. And they never even wanted to hear what he had to say because they didn’t want the audience to hear anything different than what the industry tells them. KENNEDY: Let me explain why, Senator. SEN. CORTEZ MASTO (D-NV): Actually, I want you to listen to me… You went on FOX News blaming school shootings on antidepressants. You have no evidence of that because you have no evidence of a connection. KENNEDY: You’re just saying something. You’re just making stuff up. I never said that. You’re making it up. You’re twisting. CORTEZ MASTO: I’m not. KENNEDY: Yeah, you are. You are being dishonest right now. You don’t want to talk. You want to harangue, and you want to have partisan politics. I want to actually solve these problems. WATTERS: Kennedy is a key part of the Trump coalition. MAHA, moms and dads, Democrats, college students. MAHA is the most bipartisan part of the Trump agenda. There’s a reason polls have Bobby as the most popular member of the Cabinet. The country knows it’s sick and wants to fix it. The senators deny we’re sick and defend a corrupt system that keeps their campaigns funded. We’re the sickest country in the civilized world, and Bobby’s been in D.C. for, what, seven months? And he’s already being accused of murder. SEN. RAPHAEL WARNOCK (D-GA): Clearly, you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It’s clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs, which is why you attempted to fire — [CROSSTALK] WARNOCK: Sir, sir, I’m not… KENNEDY: We’re the sickest people on Earth. WARNOCK: I’m speaking. KENNEDY: How am I a threat? WATTERS: The only person they hate more than Kennedy is Hegseth, because both of these guys aren’t afraid of him. This was a naked attempt to brutalize the secretary and create political problems for Trump. They even blamed him for mass shootings. WARNOCK: The gunman expressed discontent with the COVID vaccine and, quote, wanted to make the public aware of his distrust of the vaccines. KENNEDY: Every member of this panel has criticized President Trump and demonized him. WARNOCK: Have you ever been briefed? KENNEDY: Are you complicit in the assassination attempts on President Trump? WATTERS: Every time they mounted an attack, Kennedy exposed them. SEN. SHELDON WHITEHOUSE (D-RI): If I was getting jerked around by your bureaucracy, I’d like it to end and get some progress. KENNEDY: Yeah, you know, Senator, you raised this during my confirmation hearing, and I said to you at that time, call me and let’s come talk about this. You have my cell phone. You can call me anytime. I’ve never heard from you in seven months. WATTERS: That’s all you need to know. It’s all an act. They don’t want to make America healthy again. They won’t even pick up the phone. Months go by, Americans get sicker and sicker. Politicians wait for a hearing and then just scream at Kennedy and then go to the bar and get handed a check. From Big Pharma. Bobby’s phone’s always on. Democrats used to call him, but then he joined Trump and now they call him a crackpot. When Kennedy looked under the hood at what Biden left him, he discovered the CDC was destroying data that showed black boys who were getting an early measles vax had a higher chance of autism. They buried it and kept recommending the shot to kids who didn’t need it. And they cut corners to get vaccines through. Safety studies for hepatitis vaccines lasted just four days. 76 million kids got the shot, even though you had a one in seven million chance of dying from it. KENNEDY:All the evidence is transparent for the first time in history, and you were never there complaining when the pharmaceutical companies were picking those people and then running their products through with no safety. SEN. MICHAEL BENNET (D-CO): What I said was accurate. What you said were lies. KENNEDY: Are you saying that a dmRNA vaccine has never been associated with myocarditis or pericarditis in teenagers? BENNET: I am saying, I am simply — KENNEDY: Is that what you’re trying to tell us? BENNET: I am simply trying to say that the people that you have put on that panel after firing the entire… KENNEDY: You’re avoiding the question. WATTERS: The agency panels were okaying everything from new vaccines to crazy pills to the food pyramid. In fact, they can put anything in food. It’s not even really regulated. It’s based on the honor system. And everyone was making cash while the CDC and politicians just closed their eyes to the deadliest health crisis in U.S. history. Obesity, chronic disease, autism, mental illness, exploding on their watch. The birth rate’s down. Testosterone, down. Happiness at an all-time low. All we’re asking is why. Does it have anything to do with the food and drug industry? With our phones? With our lifestyle? We’re spending a trillion dollars a year treating chronic disease. A trillion. It’s the most expensive thing in the budget. It’s burying the country in debt. In the 60s, we spent zero on chronic disease. And back then, we were skinny, we smoked, we drank, we ate butter, red meat, we ate bacon. These politicians are adamant that insurance companies pay for COVID booster shots for healthy Americans as young as six months old. Why? KENNEDY: Most Americans will be able to get it from their pharmacy for free. SEN. ELIZABETH WARREN (D-MA): No, the question is everyone who wants it. That was your promise. KENNEDY: I never promised that I was gonna recommend products with which there is no indication. WARREN: When you said — KENNEDY: And I know you’ve taken $ 855,000 from pharmaceutical companies, Senator. WATTERS: Bernie said don’t call Pocahontas corrupt. We’re all corrupt. SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (I-VT): Every Republican got corporate PAC money for the pharmaceutical industry. Democrats as well. Everybody is corrupt. But you? Is that what we’re looking at? I don’t think so. KENNEDY: I don’t even know what you’re talking about. SANDERS: Well, I think you do know what I’m talking about. KENNEDY: I don’t know what you’re talking about. SANDERS: The issue is every time anyone — KENNEDY: Are you saying the pharmaceutical industry was supporting my presidential campaign? SANDERS: No, I’m saying no. WATTERS: Bernie’s right. 98% of the Senate, Democrat and Republican, have gotten money from Big Pharma. Bernie’s a top dog. He’s got almost 2 mil. Doesn’t mean you’re in their pocket, but it sounds a lot like they’re in your pocket when you back them 100% of the time and attack anyone who wants to see the data. The guy who blamed CDC shootings on RFK, Warnock, got almost 2 million, too. Wyden got over a mil. Now, if Kennedy isn’t recommending healthy 18-year-olds get COVID boosters, then there’s less pharma cash to spread around to the politicians. If a baby gets eight vaccines instead of 18, less cash to spread around to the politicians. If doctors tell patients eat healthy and exercise instead of get the fat shot, less cash to the politicians. Same thing with sex changes, diabetes medication and antidepressants. Did you know that the American Academy of Pediatrics, some of their biggest donors, vaccine makers? Take the COVID vaccine. Nothing they said about the COVID vaccine turned out to be true. KENNEDY: The whole process was politicized. Senator, I mean, we were lied to about everything. We were lied to about, um, about natural immunity. We were lied to about — you know, we were told again and again the vaccines would prevent transmission, they’d prevent infection. It wasn’t true. They knew it from the start. WATTERS: They lied to you, and now they want to nuke the guy who caught them lying. Kennedy has a mandate to do this, and if he fails or if they stop him from doing his job, America gets sicker and sicker and sicker. We’ll have no recruits to fight our wars, and we’ll each have to buy two seats on an airplane.
