00:00What's your immediate takeaway from what you've heard in there so far?
00:03Look, he just wants to deny, deny, deny, and not admit that Robert Kennedy is putting the health of our babies at risk, the health of our seniors at risk, the health of all Americans at risk.
00:19He should not be the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
00:24What do you think of your senator, your colleague from Louisiana's questioning?
00:28He's asking if the president is worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize for Project Warp Speed, which RFK seems to agree with, and then has issues with the substance of the project.
00:36Can you talk about that?
00:38This is the incoherence, because these Republican nominees, including Robert Kennedy, all want to suck up to Donald Trump.
00:46They want to say whatever it is the great leader wants them to say, and yet it makes no sense.
00:53So Donald Trump wants to collect the Nobel Prize for something that Donald Trump himself disavows.
01:01This is just, this is the incoherence of trying to satisfy a would-be dictator who himself has no idea about how to make this country work a little better,
01:15for hard-working families and for people who are deeply worried that the decisions that are being made right now are putting their health at risk.
01:23Senator, on the vaccine board, on the vaccine schedule issues, on any of that, do you see, is there any recourse, is there any check that you all have at this point?
01:32Look, if the Republicans would grow a spine, then the answer would be to reel in both Kennedy and Donald Trump and push back on them so that they don't just replace the vaccine board and our other medical boards with a handful of flunkies that will do whatever it is that Kennedy and the anti-vaxxers want them to do.
01:58Look, I get it. There are a lot of political fights in this country, but denying the basic science and, as Kennedy has done, lying to the American people, saying back during the nomination process he wouldn't take vaccines away from anyone who wanted them.
02:16And now what's happening is they are changing the rules so that millions of Americans are going to lose their access to vaccines.
02:24They're starting with COVID. Let's talk to them about what's next on the list.
02:28We're going to lose access to the measles vaccine, to the chickenpox vaccines. That does not make us safer.
02:36It makes our children more at risk. It makes our seniors more at risk. It makes our whole nation more at risk.
02:42Thank you. Thank you Senator.
02:46Thank you Senator.
