administration pushed out, apparently is getting rid of 60 career officials at an entity called USAID, which is not an aid organization. I don't want to get too deeply into that, but let me just say this. If it doesn't mean anything to you when I say that 60 officials were removed from USAID, then there's a gigantic part of America that you're missing. And I would refer you to Mike Benz to underst…

ing tells me that the real play is just to get them to admit that they gave awards to fake news and then have them just correct it and say, okay we disavow or we rescind the award. I don't know if you can rescind the award but you could say we disavow it now or it was a mistake. So it could be that the lawsuit is really just to get them to do something that they should have done anyway, which is admit when they made a gigantic mistake.

Well, RFK Jr. should be sitting there right now in his confirmation hearings. So that's happening right now. We're expecting it to be brutal. And we don't know if he's going to get through. I will tell you that if somehow RFK Jr. doesn't get through, the level of disappointment I would feel for the Republicans would be off the chart, just off the chart. I could never forgive this. Let me say that directly. Anybody who votes against RFK Jr., given that he might be the only one who can save us from our food supply and bad pharma, I'm taking this really personally. This is not politics to me. This is my life. I mean this is kids. This is personal. This is not politics whatsoever. So I'm going to echo what Nicole Shanahan said. She said that Bobby Kennedy might be nice but she's not. And she's got a list of people that have not said they'll vote for him, mostly Republicans but not entirely. As Fetterman on the list. And she said she's going to personally fund primary challengers to anybody who votes against Kennedy. I'm going to personally do what I can to destroy the lives of anybody who votes against him. You know, I'm not sure I have much power, but to the extent that aligning them every single day on social media is useful, I'm going to go animal because this has to happen.

All right, now you could say, well what if things go wrong? Well let's worry about that if it happens. I mean it's not like he has the ability to change something so quickly that people are going to be dropping dead, right? Everything will be carefully considered. He does like science even if the Democrats are too dumb to realize it. And I don't feel any flexibility on this. No flexibility. This one just has to get done. There's no option on this one. Sorry. All the other ones, I didn't really care. Pete Hegseth, honestly I didn't really care about almost any of them. I didn't really care. I thought there were people who could do those jobs. The people that Trump picked are good picks but I didn't care. This is the one I care about. This is the one that will activate me. This is the one that's going to make hell come at those people who vote against it. And I'd like you to join me. I think all Republicans have to just go barbarian on this. This one just has to get done. I mean it's the issue of the age. Beyond, I mean obviously the debt is the imminent one, but this is way too big. This is way too big to let politics get in the way. And I don't trust anybody who would vote against him because it either means they're stupid or bought. And boy if they act stupid or bought they're going to have a tough time ahead of them because we're not going to forget this one. Not at all.

So thank you, Nicole Shanahan. But by the way this is exactly what I was talking about with the Trump way of doing things. Have you noticed that just individual citizens are saying stuff like, all right we

ll here's this gap, there's this thing that needs to be handled. And you look around and you say nobody's doing anything like nobody's making the threat real. And then Nicole says I can do it and then she does it and now it's news and now I can boost it. So that's what I could do. Like I wanted to do something too but just complaining didn't seem enough. But if I'm boosting Nicole's message, that'…
