Charlie Kirk on Bobby Kennedy's Journey from Democrat to Trump's Health and Human Services Nominee

[00:00] lots happening right now we had an

[00:02] amazing night last evening at Mar Al

[00:05] Lago and the good news just keeps on

[00:07] coming as I say it's going to get even

[00:10] better look at this Arc in this chain of

[00:15] events a Kennedy the son of Bobby

[00:20] Kennedy decides to run for the

[00:23] presidency he decides to run for the

[00:25] presidency as a Democrat to reclaim the

[00:28] party that his father helped build the

[00:32] mantle of a Kennedy Democrat one that

[00:34] still believes in free speech one that

[00:36] still believes in separation of powers

[00:38] that does not believe in censorship that

[00:41] does not believe in war that does not

[00:43] believe in adventurous foreign policy so

[00:46] he ran for the presidency as a Democrat

[00:50] now remember all he wanted was to be

[00:51] treated fairly he wanted a debate he

[00:53] wanted to be able to go on the stage he

[00:55] wanted to compete for the primary of the

[00:57] Democrat Party and hilariously

[01:00] if the Democrats would have listened to

[01:01] Bobby Kennedy and had an actual primary

[01:04] they actually would have done much

[01:05] better against Donald Trump this last

[01:07] cycle but they ignored Bobby Kennedy

[01:09] because he's an antivaxer now do you

[01:11] notice that all the slurs are coming

[01:13] back if you have a trump nominee all of

[01:17] the leftwing slurs that are put on

[01:21] the that are put on the Shelf are

[01:24] reallocated against every single one of

[01:27] Trump's lieutenants Pete H said oh he's

[01:28] a Christian nationalist

[01:31] Matt Gates he is a fire brand and unable

[01:35] to

[01:36] govern or how about uh they say when it

[01:39] comes to Bobby Kennedy he's a antivaxer

[01:42] tulsey gabard she's a Russian agent I

[01:45] think that these cabinet appointees have

[01:47] a higher likelihood of being approved

[01:50] because the attacks against us mean less

[01:54] than ever before the slurs the slander

[01:57] the demeaning of what they've been doing

[01:59] against us for quite some time it it

[02:02] does not hold the weight that it once

[02:05] did so Bobby Kennedy runs the Democrat

[02:08] and gets completely thrown out and then

[02:09] he runs as an independent gets on the

[02:11] ballot in all 50 states and then do we

[02:13] have the clip of Bobby Kennedy at our

[02:15] event in Glendale Arizona let's try to

[02:17] find that Bobby Kennedy at our event in

[02:19] Glendale Arizona when Bobby Kennedy

[02:22] endorsed Donald Trump now mind you it's

[02:24] very very important to remember the

[02:26] context of this this was the day after

[02:32] the Democrat National Convention in

[02:34] Chicago I was at the DNC in Chicago the

[02:36] DNC put on quite a show remember you are

[02:39] to expect a postc convention bump that

[02:42] is usually what happens your poll

[02:43] numbers go up you get Americans saying

[02:46] oh maybe I can live with that maybe I'll

[02:47] vote for that and there was a postc

[02:49] convention bump that was waiting to

[02:52] happen for KLA Harris and the Democrat

[02:55] however the Trump campaign team again

[02:57] they deserve such credit anytime there

[02:59] was a move move there was a counter move

[03:02] and I got a call from them 5 days before

[03:05] Charlie would you like to help out with

[03:08] this event in Glendale Arizona we can't

[03:10] tell you what it is but it's going to be

[03:12] huge would you like to help with the

[03:14] pre-programming and do your thing with

[03:16] the pyrot Technics and all that and I

[03:18] said yes happy to and that was the rally

[03:22] that changed the media

[03:24] narrative it went from the DNC being the

[03:27] number one news item on the planet to

[03:30] no one remembering the DNC and instead

[03:32] it was Kennedy endorsing Donald Trump

[03:35] the first ever Kennedy to endorse a

[03:38] republican from

[03:40] Camelot to Donald

[03:44] Trump from Glendale Arizona on Bobby

[03:47] Kennedy campaigned ferociously for

[03:49] Donald Trump remember Bobby Kennedy's

[03:51] work he started as an environmental

[03:52] toxins lawyer he was concerned about

[03:55] Childhood Health now you might not be on

[03:57] board for all of the views of Bobby

[03:59] Kennedy however I curious if you could

[04:01] tell me what you think is the root cause

[04:04] of the chronic disease epidemic for

[04:07] children in this country why is it that

[04:09] our children are sick fatigued why is it

[04:12] that nearly one in3 Kids In America have

[04:14] autism why is it that 50% of our

[04:16] nation's youth are chronically obese or

[04:19] overweight and only 3% of the kids in

[04:22] Japan are chronically obese or

[04:23] overweight why is

[04:26] that Bobby Kennedy has spent his life on

[04:29] this Mission this was the Glendale

[04:32] Arizona event that changed the campaign

[04:34] it objectively changed the campaign

[04:35] Andrew would agree it was all about

[04:37] kamla all about brat summer all about

[04:39] the Democrats and then boom Bobby

[04:41] Kennedy came out of nowhere and we had

[04:43] momentum from that point forward and he

[04:44] campaigned like a superstar for Donald

[04:47] Trump let's play Cut

[04:49] 417 he is a great person I've known him

[04:52] for so long for the past 16 months

[04:55] Robert F Kennedy Jr

[05:06] [Music]

[05:10] [Applause]

[05:13] [Music]

[05:18] there go my

[05:32] [Music]

[05:34] [Applause]

[05:40] man

[05:48] wa and he deserves it he deserves it

[05:55] [Applause]

[06:06] and there it is that moment changed the

[06:09] entire campaign it changed the

[06:11] trajectory of us running against KLA

[06:14] Harris Bobby Kennedy then went

[06:16] throughout the campaign and did a

[06:18] wonderful job leading all the way to

[06:20] election

[06:22] day and let me tell you what's been

[06:23] happening these last couple of days

[06:26] president Trump had a ways

[06:28] options h and Human Services a beast it

[06:30] is one of the largest agencies in

[06:33] government Health and Human

[06:35] Services has a

[06:37] 1.7 trillion budget in mandatory

[06:41] spending it has $130 billion in

[06:46] discretionary spending Health and Human

[06:48] Services has

[06:51] 83,000 employees the total budget of

[06:53] Health and Human Services is

[06:56] $1.6 trillion do this is not some sort

[06:59] of

[07:00] small put on the Shelf hope it you know

[07:02] it's it's not the Department of Labor no

[07:05] offense to whoever gets Department of

[07:06] Labor but it's not the Department of

[07:07] Labor this is a beast this is one of the

[07:10] power sources of the federal

[07:13] government so Health and Human

[07:15] Services which by the way interestingly

[07:17] enough did you know that Health and

[07:20] Human Services in the Department of

[07:21] Education used to be one Department it

[07:24] used to be called health education and

[07:26] Welfare HW but of course you need more

[07:29] bureaucracy because bureaucracy laads us

[07:31] out with bureaucracy and then before

[07:33] that it was actually the Federal

[07:34] Security Agency and then under the

[07:36] reorganization Act of 1939 we broken in

[07:39] all these things Health and Human

[07:41] Services is a beast Health and Human

[07:44] Services overseas for example they are

[07:47] subordinate agencies NIH National

[07:50] Institute of Health the Food and Drug

[07:52] Administration um the advanced research

[07:55] projects and agencies for health I mean

[07:57] we're talk CDC all of them are

[07:59] subordinate to the Health and Human

[08:03] Services Bobby Kennedy being now

[08:05] nominated for HHS by Donald Trump is one

[08:07] of the greatest promises made Promises

[08:10] Kept moments in modern political history

[08:13] and if for nothing else for nothing else

[08:18] this

[08:19] shows that campaign promises matter that

[08:23] campaign promises are not just rhetoric

[08:25] that when you make a campaign promise

[08:27] you are making a pledge to voters

[08:31] and I can tell you this that Bobby

[08:34] Kennedy campaigning on childhood chronic

[08:38] disease and ending that should be one of

[08:40] the most nonpolitical things've ever

[08:41] seen Donald Trump was getting lots of

[08:44] calls from people that I'm sure were

[08:45] connected to Pharma lobbyists and

[08:48] connected to fizer and Johnson and

[08:50] Johnson and madna and astrazenica he was

[08:53] getting lots of calls and Donald Trump

[08:56] did the thing that Trump does best wait

[08:57] a second what did I promise to to do I

[09:01] promised to give Bobby a role that's

[09:04] what he did and he didn't just give

[09:06] Bobby some senior advisor to Childhood

[09:08] disease he gave him one of the most

[09:12] important positions in government God

[09:14] bless you Donald Trump God bless you

[09:15] Bobby Kennedy
