  1. Wouldn't North of Hank Azaria be NOHA? And it's even apropos as No Ha is what we get with this tragic circus in the White house.

  3. RFK Jr. claiming he'll have a answer to the "Autism epidemic" says everything about what kind of man he is. He's not looking out for the health of US citizens; he's pushing a 'solution' to 'finally deal' with autistic people, who he sees as inferior and useless (and apparently don't pay taxes/do labor. Reaaal telling what his priorities are there..). And as someone who is most likely on the spectrum and knows plenty of others who definitely are, this is terrifying and infuriating! I will not be told I am a useless person by a man who juices testosterone at elderly age, sounds like he's throating gravel every time he speaks, and most likely still has some kind of worm in his brain!

  4. Why didn't the interviewer demand rfk jr. name those programs that shouldn't have been cut and were, then, reinstated? I doubt he could name one, because he didn't request any reinstatements.

  6. All they done is layoff and deport. I wouldn’t let Robert Kennedy Junior take care of a goldfish let alone the health system for Americans!! He is not all there… His own family didn’t vote for him……😮

  8. RFK is so full of s*it he needs to see Team D. God help us as he guts our health/wellness/public health agencies.

  12. Even if 100% of your arguments were valid I still trust JFKjr more than what we had… maybe that's said but so it the current state of our country's health.

  19. Adolescence diabetes?? Except for few genetic cases…. exercise

    I've heard about cancer research and diabetes research and others like Alzheimer's research and other such conditions for decades and decades, no one seems to be able to solve those issues…. but their budget keeps growing, and when they finally get a pill or solution only the wealthy can get it, the meds too expensive, but the researches funded by taxpayer money!! You saw this with HIV meds, and other such situations. Millions without health insurance but plenty of doctors working for the government… most of health is solved by better eating, the proper foods, and exercise… parents let there kids sit playing video games until they get ill.

  20. As an autism, I have done all the things he said I would never do. Including military service currently working on an engineering degree.
    …..soooo.
