Tomasz Sakiewicz
Hello Sifak, Great to have you here. This is Tomar Sakiewicz, CEO of the biggest conservative television station news station in Europe. Actually the only conservative news station in Europe. So let me introduce you, Tomasz. Tomasz had a very easy choice last week. He could either be today at the prosecutor's office in the liberal left globalist prosecutor's office in Poland being prosecuted for organizing CPAC in Poland last year, or be here with you. So he obviously chose to be here with you. Tomasz. Yeah. Big, big clap for Thomas Sakiewicz and millions of our viewers. Ladies and gentlemen, Tomasz did something profound, something incredible. He built the biggest European conservative station on one solidarity of millions of Polish people under attack of leftist liberal globalist government of Donald Tusk. He did that on funds of regular people, members and Polish citizens. And we would like to say big thank you to for the people who are directly funding the only conservative media in Poland. Many thanks and big clap, big applause. But we could build Televisia Repubbika on solidarity movement tradition and on freedom tradition and tradition of big friendship between Poland and America. And this is the foundation and basis of our TV station of our existence. Tomasz Sakiewicz, CEO of Televisia Republica.
Tomasz (Speaker at CPAC Poland)
Thank you, Michael. Thank you everybody. I see the representative of different nations. Wonderful nation, great nations. But there are two nations who always live in friendship. Do you know what are the nations? Polish and American people. We always separate ourselves, we always help ourselves. We always fight with the same enemies. From the time what the United States was established. We are in the union, union and heart. And you and the real during communist time Ronald Reagan for us means hope. Hope for freedom and freedom comes to Poland. Of course we still must fight for freedom in United States. In Poland you have more easier because whole your government support freedom. And we believe that hold our government support freedom like our president who will be next moment. But what's important we only not only live in friendship, we cooperate as a nation. But we have a chance, big chance now. Because our presidents live in friendship. They know themselves and they understand ourselves. It's important. It's the meeting of real friendship, friends and real nation who wants to live in friendship. It's important because if we understand ourselves, we can do more. That's why we invite you for the new CPAC this year. And it will be big meeting of different nations, but major Polish and American who wants to cooperate. Who wants to fight for freedom and fight for everything. What's important for human people.
Tomasz Sakiewicz
Ladies and gentlemen, late September this year Zech of Poland, you are all invited be there and remember, once you are there. We are building a great friendship of freedom loving nations all over the world. Because globalists and leftists they built their international connections of George Soros and stuff. We have to build our connections against them. We have to go after them, attack them and never get back and never let them win. Let's go to Poland. See you in Poland. CPAC Poland September we all invite you.

Hey folks, it's your friend John Rich. I co founded Old Glory bank because we heard too many stories about people getting canceled by their bank because they didn't agree with their policies, politics. The government wanted to know where you shopped, if you bought a bible or you shopped at a sporting goods store. You're probably on a list. We created Old Glory bank because America needed a bank that would protect their privacy and security.

CPAC USA Host
You know, as we've taken this journey around the globe, Mercedes and the CPAC board and our CPAC team, we've learned a few things. And we've learned that people are incredibly concerned that America is slipping. They're incredibly concerned that Americans don't understand how special this country is. We were able to have a CPAC in Poland literally five days before their crucial election. It wasn't really our event. It was the Polish people's event. It was their event. The freedom lovers to try to do the improbable can you imagine? Have you ever heard of this political story? A candidate comes from nowhere, who's an outsider, who hasn't done it before and has the courage to say, I want to change my country. That's what happened in Poland. Now, the Polish history is a beautiful history. It's a tough history. It's a history riddled with disappointments. But the modern chapter of the Polish history is a brave people that would not succumb to Communism, that listened to great forefathers like the great John Paul ii, Put God at the center and they never, never, never gave in. Now, what's going on in America? Freedom lovers around the world are watching America. They're watching Mayor Mondami. They're watching aoc. As Poland shed its communist past, America is now flirting with a communist future. And it's an important moment for our country to hear from one of these unique fighters for freedom in Europe, who is saying no to the globalists, no to Brussels, no to the un, no to the who, and yes to freedom. It's our great honor for CPAC USA to introduce the President of Poland, Carol Noski.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

President of Poland, Carol Noski
Jindobre mat Mercedes. Thank you very much for all you're doing. Thank you for this introduction. Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, dear American patriots, it is a true honor to stand here with you in Texas, a land that symbolizes what America is all about. Strength, independence and pride in your nation. I bring you greetings from Poland, a country that understands what freedom truly costs and why it must always be defended. This year, in just a couple of months, the United states will celebrate 250 years of independence. 250 years ago, your Founding Fathers made a bold choice, a one full of uncertainty. They rejected tyranny. They rejected control from afar. They chose liberty, responsibility and sovereignty. And by doing so, they changed the world. But let me tell you something that matters deeply to us in you were not alone in that fight. When America fought for independence, Poland stood shoulder to shoulder with you. Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Kazimierz Poowski, Polish patriots, soldiers of liberty, fought for American independence. Both devoted their lives to the same ideal, the defense of freedom. And there is one more story, less known, but also important. Chaim Salomon, a man born and raised in Poland, who lived in New York City when the Continental Congress was running out of money. Haim Salomon Held financed the American Revolution. He used his own resources to keep the cause of freedom alive. He did not fight with a sword, rifle or cannon. He fought with commitment, with trust, with belief in the Future of a free nation. This is also part of our shared history. Polish heroes did not only fight to America, they helped build it. They came because they believe something simple and powerful. That freedom anywhere is worth defending. Everywhere. And, ladies and gentlemen, and as I'm standing here, I can state with certainty, this disbelief still connects and resonates in our nations today. Ladies and gentlemen, Poland and the United States are not just allies. We are nations built on the same idea. The government should serve the people, not rule over them. That freedom must be protected, not managed. That tradition matters because it gives meaning to freedom. In America, these ideas were shaped by your founding fathers. In Poland, they reach back centuries, to a time when we built one of the first republics in Europe where power was limited, where citizens had a voice, and where liberty was part of our identity. We are two nations, two continents apart, but rooted in the same Christian civilization. And today that civilization is unfortunately, under pressure, not just from outside, but also from within. We hear voices telling us that patriotism is something to be ashamed of, that borders don't matter, that faith should be pushed out of public life. That tradition is something to be erased. You hear it here in America. We hear it on the other side of the pond in Europe. But let me say this clearly. A nation we fight without the identity is a nation without a future. And I'm sure that we in Poland and here in the United States will not allow that to happen. Because we know something that many elites have forgotten. Freedom does not survive on its own. It needs strong families. It needs strong communities. It needs people who are willing to defend it once more. Thank you, Matt. Thank you, Mercedes. We also know that threats to our way of life are not just cultural. They are real. They are geopolitical. They are dangerous. In Europe today, we face an aggressive Russia. A regime that invades its neighbors, a regime that destroys cities. A regime that believes power gives it the right to dominate others. And today, that same regime tries to tell the we are the defenders of traditional values. This is a lie. Russia does not defend conservatism. Russia represents corruption and violence. True conservatism. True conservatism respects nations. True conservatism respects human dignity. True conservatism believes in freedom under law. We also see other threats. The regimes in different parts of the world spreading instability and terror in their respective regions. And beyond. These authoritarian powers that want to reshape the world not around freedom, but around control. And in the face of these threats, we have a choice. To stand divided or to stand together. Poland has made its choice. We stayed with the United States, just like we always have. 250 years ago, during the first and Second World wars, in the aftermath of the 911 terrorist attack, not because it is convenient, but because it is right. Because, you know, ladies and gentlemen, alliances are not built only in conference rooms and behind closed doors. They are built on the battlefield. They are built in moments of courage. They are built in moments of sacrifice, including the courage and ultimate sacrifice shown by the 66 police soldiers who gave their lives in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Poland and the United States have stood side by side, not only in history, but in our own lifetime. We stood together in Afghanistan, we stood together in Iraq.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

President of Poland, Carol Noski
Sometimes that partnership is written in the most powerful way possible, in blood. Let me tell you a story. Not long ago in the White House, a solemn ceremony took place. The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously to Staff Sergeant Michael Olis, who gave his life in Afghanistan. But he did not give it for his own countrymen. He gave it to save a Polish soldier. Lieutenant Carol Cherpica. My friend, in a moment of ultimate courage, he stepped forward. He took the blow meant for another man, a Polish man, a brother in arms. The very same day that the Medal of Honor was bestowed upon Staff Sergeant Hollis by President Trump, Poland honored him as well. Because Poland remembers, because Poland understands what death sacrifices mean. Because Poland knows that freedom is never free. You cannot build a stronger alliance than this. This is not politics. This is brotherhood. This is what binds Poland and the United States together, not just as allies, but as a family. May Michael Olis rest in peace. May the 66 Polish soldiers who gave their lives for freedom and the thousands of heroes from both our nations who made the ultimate sacrifice of rest in peace, let's respect them together. Ladies and gentlemen, Let me add something. The challenges we face do not come only from outside in Europe. They also come from within our own communities. Let me be clear. Poland made the right decision in joining the European Union, and we want to be a part of the eu. I believe, and I hope the majority of my compatriots share this view that Poland has a voice and the right to speak up. For the past 20 years, we have been part of the EU, and now it needs urgent repair. We see policies. We see policies that, however well intended they may be, risk weakening the very foundations of our strength. We see even more powerful bureaucrats making decisions that go against common sense. And instead of strengthening Europe, they weaken it. I'm talking about energy policies that move too fast with no regard for Economic reality and energy security. There are migration policies that fail to protect borders and social cohesion. There are moves to centralize decision making, sidelining nations and democratic accountability. And sometimes we see ideological projects that move us away from the values that built our Christian civilization rather than reinforcing them. I believe that Europe and America are strongest where they respect their nations, when they respect their traditions, when they listen to their people. Poland is committed to transatlantic realm of strong nations and and not a one that forgets where its strength comes from. Ladies and gentlemen, Poland is a success story of freedom. Just one generation ago we were behind the Iron Curtain, a communist system. But that was not our choice. After World War II, Poland did nor to regain its freedom, even though we fought on every front of the war. Unfortunately, after the brutal German occupation, another occupation came. This time imposed by the Soviet Union. And that occupation lasted almost 50 years. But let me tell you something. The Polish people never accepted it. Never. Even in the darkest times, there were those who refused to surrender. The caste soldiers, underground fighters or General Richard Kuklinski, who helped expose Soviet plans to attack NATO countries. In doing so, they not only defended Poland's future, but also built the foundations of the future Polish American relationship. There was also a man who reminded the world who we are. Pope John Paul ii. And finally, a movement that changed history. Solidarnost. And yes, we were fortunate enough to have friends beyond our borders. Leaders like Ronald Reagan who had the courage to call evil by its name. Together, through faith, courage and solidarity, we regained our independence. And today Poland has become one of the fastest growing economies in Europe. Our GDP has reached over $1 trillion. Think about that. In one generation, in one generation we went from communism to prosperity, from control to opportunity, from dependence to strength. A nation finally free to realize its full potential. And, and this did not happen by accident. It happened because we chose freedom, because we chose hard work. Because we chose strong partnership with the United States, our European allies and like minded partners around the globe. And this partnership is not just votes, it is action. We believe in our Polish American alliance, but we also believe in the North Atlantic alliance. The the most powerful military alliance in the history of the world, led by the United States. I agree with President Trump when he calls on European countries to increase their spending on our shared security. Yes, Europe must spend more. Yes, Europe must take greater responsibility for its own security. In Poland we understand this. That is why we stand as the Eastern God of Europe, of Western civilization, which we defend against tyranny, lies and violence from the east, from Russia, though not Only from there. But we will not accomplish this great task alone, nor even in cooperation with the United States alone. We need our allies. We need their commitment and their sacrifice to preserve freedom. That is why we need to develop and strengthen NATO. Today, Poland is one of the strongest allies of the United States in Europe. We invest in our military. We invest in our military because we know peace requires strength. We spent 5% of our GDP on defense. We invest billions of dollars in American made military technology, including F35s that are produced here in Texas. Congratulation. And ladies and gentlemen, we host thousands of American troops because we believe in real alliances, not symbolic ones. And let me say this clearly. We host American troops on the shoulders of the Polish taxpayer because we understand what solidarity means. We understand what border sharing means. We do not just talk about alliance. We pay for it. We support it, we strengthen it. And when American soldiers walk the streets of Polish cities, towns and villages, they are not strangers. They are welcomed and respected. For the first time, I would like to emphasize this. I would like to emphasize this. For the first time in history, Poles are glad that foreign troops are stations in their country. Polish and American troops stand on the front line of NATO because we understand what is at stake. But our cooperation goes beyond security. It includes energy independence. For years, some European states in their navy, decided to depend on unreliable partners who use energy as a weapon. Poland said no. We chose diversification and cooperation with the United States. And together we are building something even bigger. The Three Seas Initiative, A project that connects countries from the Baltic to the Adriatic and the Black Sea. It is about infrastructure. It is about energy security. It is about economic strength. But above all, it is about freedom. For the past 10 years, we have been turning this vision into reality. We are the fastest growing region in Europe. We have invested billions of euros in roads, railways, Broadway networks. We are doing this to create stronger connections and better opportunities for the 120 million people of central and southeastern Europe. Because a region that is connected, developed and independent and is a region that cannot be controlled by authoritarian powers. President Donald Trump understands it. In 2007, Poland organized the Free Seas Initiative Summit in our capital in Warsaw. President Trump was there to support the initiative. He also gave one of the most memorable speeches in our recent history. Your president is a true friend of Poland, but he is also a real fighter. President Donald Trump fighting for a better life for the American people, including the nearly 10 million Poles who have made America their home. We need leaders like him. Leaders who put their people first, protect their jobs, defend families and secure their future. Dear, dear friends, we are living in a moment of decision. A moment when the future of our civilization will be shaped by the choices we make today. Will we defend our values or abandon them? Will we stand strong or step back? Will we remember who we are or forget? Poland has made its choice. We choose sovereignty. We choose to respect tradition. We choose freedom. 250 years ago, Americans proved that freedom can defeat tyranny. Decades ago, the people of Poland and other countries in Central Europe proved it again. And today it is our responsibility to ensure that this story continues, not just for us, but for our children, for our nations, for the future of the free world. So let me say this clearly here in Dallas, Texas. When Poland and America stand together, freedom wins. When we stay true to our values, freedom wins. When we have the courage to defend what matters, freedom wins. Thank you all. God Bless Poland, God Bless the United States of America, and God bless the alliance between our great nations.

From CPAC USA 2026 in Texas. This is real America's voice
Mercedes Schlapp
against this threat. In the March 2026 GOP primary, Texas voters delivered an overwhelming mandate by approving Proposition 10 with nearly 95% support. Declaring that Texas should prohibit Sharia law. CPAC stands firmly and unapologetically against any imposition of Sharia law in freedom loving countries. CPAC strongly supports President Donald J. Trump's decisive leadership and restoring stability, sovereignty and democratic accountability throughout the Western Hemisphere. After years of neglect that allowed hostile regimes, transnational criminal organizations and foreign adversaries to expand their influence, President Trump has reasserted American strength from confronting the socialist dictatorship in Venezuela and standing with the Cuban people to challenging the authoritarian regimes In Nicaragua and beyond. His administration has made clear that America will not surrender to tyranny, narco terrorism, or foreign powers seeking to undermine freedom. President Trump's policies have strengthened border security, disrupted human trafficking networks, and reduced the chaos that destabilizes nations across the region. The people of the Western hemisphere deserve freedom, security and opportunity, not exploitation by authoritarian regimes or criminal networks.

I think you got a very loud cheer. I would say almost as loud as for President Donald J. Trump. Right. All right, Mr. Secretary, I'm just going to. To call you Bobby because I feel like you're part of, like, our kitchen table every day when I have to decide what food our kids are going to eat. I. I shared with the secretary this story where when my girls were little, little, a neighbor brought them donuts and they came running to the house and told their dad, this is the best tasting bagel I've ever had. But I really want to start with your incredible successes. Seriously, what you have done to shake up HHS Health and Human Services is remarkable. Talk about those successes and then what your top priorities are going into the next three years.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Well, so what about. Sorry. First of all, thanks for having me here. Mercy. And thank you all for being such a welcoming audience.
Mercedes Schlapp
We love you.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Did you ask what our success has been?
Mercedes Schlapp
Yes. What have been your success?
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I mean, I think the food pyramid was really important because for 50 years, the government has been lying to us about food, about what food we should be eating. When I got into office, a week after I got into office in Brooklyn, Rollins and I were sworn in on the same day. And it's our responsibility of our agencies to sign off on the dietary guidelines. The dietary guidelines we got from the Biden administration that they'd been working on for four years were 453 pages long, and they were written by industry lobbyists, and they reflected the mercantile impulses that had put Fruit Loops at the top of the food Pyramid, which is not even a food.
CPAC Commentator
Really.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Yeah. Froot Loops was at the top.
Mercedes Schlapp
Oh, my.
CPAC Commentator
Okay.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And so we flipped the food pyramid. We brought in the best nutritionists in the country from a dozen universities and medical schools, and we gave a science based food pyramid. For the first time, we restored protein.
Mercedes Schlapp
Yes.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And those dietary guidelines are going to change the dietary culture in this country in a couple different ways. One is particularly USDA gives huge food supplements, $405 million a day to Wix, to Head Start, to food stamps, and to a lot of other programs. And now the food is going to change there. The food is changing in our military. Pete Hegseth has brought in this extraordinary chef called Robert Irvine, and he's already changed the food. And I'll tell you something. He's changed the food on five of the biggest bases. By the end of this month, it'll be in 20. So it's all fresh.
Mercedes Schlapp
Wow.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Really high quality food.
Mercedes Schlapp
And this is for our military.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
For our military.
Mercedes Schlapp
So we're taking care of our military. Can I ask you something?
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Yeah.
Mercedes Schlapp
Who is stronger, you or Sir Secretary of War Pete Hegstaff? Come on, tell us who's stronger?
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I think he's got a couple of. I think he's got a couple of pounds on me.
Mercedes Schlapp
All right, well, I'm going with you, Bobby. I'm going with you.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Anyway, he brought in Robert Irvine. At the military bases, only a third of the food was getting eaten because it was so appalling. And the troops were going out and buying food. I had McDonald's or fast food places, which is not cheap food.
Mercedes Schlapp
Right.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
It's 12 bucks to 14 bucks for a Big Mac meal. He's now changed diet completely. All the troops are now eating. There's lines around the block to get into the cafeteria.
Mercedes Schlapp
Yes.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And the military budget for food is 18. $18.50 a day per soldier. That's for three meals. He's feeding them all for $10 a day.
Mercedes Schlapp
Wow. So we're saving money.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
That's good food. Yeah. Good food is actually cheaper if you cook at home. The problem is Americans need to cook at home. And we have a program now that is teaching because people have forgotten. And that's important not only because it's important to get food, but also gives you time with your family. It's a sacred ritual. It's been around forever, and we've lost that. And we have now a crisis, spiritual malaise in our country. It's a crisis of loneliness, atomization, of fragmentation. And one of the ways that we need to bring people back together is for having this day, encouraging people to have this daily meal ritual. We've done the first test on Operation Stork Speed on, on the baby formula. So we're going to have the best information now about baby formula by the end of this month.
Mercedes Schlapp
So for your moms out there, this is what they're working on. They're taking out these chemicals and these preservatives out of baby formula.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And we're for the first time in 30 years where we are revising the nutrition standards so that we're going to have good nutrition. The baby for me, as close to breast milk as we can get. We've gotten rid of the nine synthetic based food dyes.
Mercedes Schlapp
Yes,
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
we've gotten the medical. 54 medical schools have now agreed and many more are coming on every day. 40 hours of nutrition training in medical school. The testing companies, the MCAT testing companies are going to put nutrition on the MCATs for the first time so the students will actually want to do it. And we have 20 states that have now passed MAHA legislation that require nutrition training and continuing medical education. And we've done a lot of things. I think one of the most impressive things that we've done thanks to Chris Klomp who's now running the agency with operations. The agency for me, we got through the MFN most favored nation status so that we have been paying the highest price for medicine in the world. In this country we make all the medicine, we pay for the innovation and we pay in some cases 10, 13, 15 times what they pay for the same medication in Europe. It's made in a factory in New Jersey. And now we're going to pay the lowest prices in the world. And you can already get those.
Mercedes Schlapp
That's amazing.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And then we're doing with this week we passed new regulations that require hospitals to post their pricing. So we're going to price transparency and the insurance companies so we can have price transparency. If you go to a restaurant, you can see what the price is before you order a meal. If you go to a car dealer and he tells you you can buy this car, but I'm not going to tell you what the price is until after you bought it. You would not buy that car. That's how every hospital in this country works. If you're a pregnant woman, you could go nine months making phone calls every day and not be able to figure out how much they are charging. Your hospital is charging your insurance company for childbirth. I looked at, we're going to have a website now that has the price of everything on it. So if you want to get an mri, it will tell you on a one page what the cause is of that MRI and all of the different concierge services and medical centers around you. I looked at pregnancy in New York. A mile around Manhattan, there's 30 hospitals. The lowest cost one was 13 $50 for childbirth. The highest cost was 22,000 in Detroit. The lowest cost was 6,000. The highest was 60,000 for the same service, the same quality service. The only way you get that price chaos is if you don't help. If there's no market and you don't give consumers an ability to shop, this is also going to dramatically lower the cost of medicine. We've gotten 80% of the insurance companies now to agree to eliminate prior authorization in most of their. Almost all of their. Of their procedures. Oh, you will know. And this is one of the most frustrating things. If you're a patient, you go to the hospital, the doctor tells you you need a knee surgery, and it takes you six months to get to find out whether your insurance company is going to author it. It's going to authorize it. Now, you will know at the point of care, before you leave that doctor's office, whether or not the procedure is.
Mercedes Schlapp
Can I. Okay. All right. CPAC family. That's just in one year. Okay. I'm just exhausted by the long list of accomplishments. It's remarkable the work that you all are doing, all. Seriously, we applaud you. We applaud the president. Now, you went through a recovery program yourself. You struggled with addiction. And we saw that the president signed this great American recovery executive order. Talk to us about that.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Well, the executive order basically requires us to revamp the recovery programs in this country, the federal investment in recovery in this country to make sure that it works. One of the things that I learned from my own experience with addiction recovery. Addiction is a disease of isolation. People who have this disease end up in either bathrooms or jails, institutions alone. They cut off their relationships with their families, their friends, their community, and isolation drives addiction. And we have a epidemic of isolation now in our country. The way. The ultimate way to deal with that is to reconnect people with community and reconnect them with some kind of spiritual motivation. So, you know, in the 12 step, One of the seminal milestones of the 12 step movement was a meeting between a Rhode island millionaire called Roland Hazard, who was very close to Bill Wilson, who was the founder of aa, and Carl Jung. And Roland Hazard. Been to see him many times about his alcoholism. And each time he felt he was cured, he'd leave and very soon he'd be drinking again. He finally came back and confronted Young. He said to Young, is there any hope for anybody like me, like, who has my level of alcoholism? Young told him no, and Hazard then pushed him. And he said, have you ever seen it happen? And Young said, the only people who can recover who have your level of addiction are people who have a profound spiritual realignment. And the 12 step movement was. The 12 steps are designed to induce a spiritual awakening. It's a movement that is devoid of religion, but it is intensely focused on spirituality to change who you are. I believe that I was born an addict and I'm hardwired to drink and drug myself to death. And in order to overcome that kind of biological drive, you need a spiritual fire.
Mercedes Schlapp
Yes.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And one of the things, One of the unfortunate choice they made during the Biden administration was to exclude faith based recovery programs from federal funding. I had a friend who wrote me this week who wrote me a friend from California who wrote me about her son, and she said that he had been thrown out of recovery program in California for talking about God. So this is. This has counted everything that we know about recovery, everything science will tell us about recovery. And one of the things that we're doing as a result of President Trump's order is we're bringing faith, faith, recovery back into recovery. The other, the other thing is that we are transitioning now to outcome based care. It's a very fragmented system. So you go into a detox, you're arrested on the street or brought in from the street, you go to a detox, then you go to a rehab, and then you go to sober housing, and then you get a job. None of those agencies are talking to each other. President Trump asked us to bring in everybody, the Department of Labor, department of, our department at hhs, hud, Department of Housing, and to coordinate so that we can follow the attic throughout this whole process. So nobody's responsible for that addict. Everybody is just checking boxes and like the rest of the medical system, everybody has an incentive to keep that addict sick. If you're rehabilitating, you get paid for 28 days. If that addict goes out and drinks or drugs again, you get another bite at the apple. So every time he goes out and relapses, you make more money. You have no incentive to make that guy healthy. And one of the things that we're developing now is a way for that rehab to be responsible for that addict for a long Period of time, for example, two years. So that anytime that he relapses, they have to treat him the next time for free. That. That will provide an incentive for them to maybe keep him longer the first time, make sure he's in an iop, make sure he's getting aftercare, and take responsibility for his recovery, because they're going to make more money if he recovers than if he doesn't.
Mercedes Schlapp
So how many Maha moms are out there? Where are my Maha moms? What advice can you give us in raising. What advice do you give the Maha moms, the Maha parents who are trying to raise healthy children in this environment?
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I mean, I would say, listen, I'm a parent. I have seven kids.
Mercedes Schlapp
You beat the schlaps. We've got five.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
It is a competition.
Mercedes Schlapp
Well, you'll beat me with the weights. Don't worry about that part.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
But, you know, for me, everybody has their own strategy and every child is different. You know, there is no cookie cutter for any child. This is one of the things I've learned as a parent. Each child requires something different. But I think the biggest threats that we're facing now are cell phones and social media. And we've now we have AHA legislation that we're working to pass in almost every state. I think probably about 18 states have already passed it, bell to bell, restrictions on cell phones. And, you know, I was at Loudoun county in Virginia the other day where they have those restrictions. Originally, the children were up in arms about it, right? But I went into the cafeteria and there were 600 kids in there. And they're all talking to each other. Nobody's looking at their lap. And. The testing scores have gone up, up. The disciplinary problems have gone down. Parents were there the day that I went and I pulled them and they loved. And they said their child, some of them said their children are no longer using their cell phones in their car. And they come home and have dinner with the families, and they're actually talking to them because they learn that they can exist without them. And there's all kinds of problems with cell phones, including radiation problems. And I would tell you, don't ever let your child go to sleep with a cell phone next to their head. And I've done a lot of litigation on this, and the science is overwhelming. 10,000 studies that we brought to the court of appeals in Washington. The radiation is very, very bad. And it's really troubling that we have less regulation about it in this country than any other country in the world. For me, I lived in the country so I could get my kids outdoors a lot, and they did. I could make sure they did a lot of physical activity. And I was not that focused on their food, but if I had to go back and do it again, I would be laser focused on what they're eating.
Mercedes Schlapp
Great advice. Great advice. So you have a famous last name, right?
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Yes.
Mercedes Schlapp
Right. You went from being a Democrat to being an independent to being part of President Trump's greatest cabinet. You put principal over party. And I will say a story on when we had a smaller event, it was just a smaller group of investors for CPAC. We invited then presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. To speak to our investors. And I remember our investors were like, what? What do you mean, he's coming? We were like, just listen to him. Listen. And after you spoke, they were so impressed, and they wanted to meet you, and they knew that you would be doing something great, and you are. So. As CPAC, I think, found Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. Tell us why this change from this evolution?
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I would say, well, you know, first of all, my father and I remember him talking to me about this. He said, you should always vote for the person, not the party, understood that partisanship was bad for our country, and it makes you dishonest because it forces you to apply a double standard. And that's always dishonest, and it's unfair. But one of the reasons that I ran is because I just saw that the Democratic Party had lost its bearings. The only issue that really united the Democrat was Trump Derangement Syndrome. And I noticed this very early because I was raised in a Democratic Party that was very opposed to NAFTA. And then in 2016, when President Trump came out about NAFTA, the Democrats suddenly became pro NAFTA.
Mercedes Schlapp
That's true.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
During the war, I, like President Trump, was opposed to the Ukraine war. It could have easily been settled. There were two opportunities to settle it and keep Ukraine intact at the very beginning. And President Biden actually made Boris Johnson go over there in April 2022 and tear up a treaty that was already signed by both sides. And so I was very much against the war. President Trump and the Democratic Party has always been the anti war party. And President Trump came out against the war, and the Democratic Party became the pro war party. My uncle Ted Kennedy wrote Title IX to make sure that women could play sports. And the Democratic Party suddenly became the party that didn't like women's sports anymore that said there shouldn't be any women's Sports. It should be, you know, for everybody on freedom of speech. They, you know, I was one of the first people to be censored by President Biden. 37 hours after he got into office. He made, and we now have the emails because of the lawsuit that I brought and that Missouri brought. He made Mark Zuckerberg take down my Instagram account with a million followers on it. I never said one piece of disinformation. Everything I wrote on that account was cited and sourced to public databases or to peer reviewed publications. And then the Democratic Party has always
Reynolds Kitchens Advertiser
been
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
skeptical about the intelligence agencies. But once the intelligence agencies began attacking President Trump in an organized, systematic way and trying to undermine him, they became suddenly pro intelligence. Then at their convention, right before they introduced Kamala Harris, they had the CIA director speak, which was unheard of. A Democratic. It became very clear to me the only thing that was holding them together was their hatred of Donald Trump. Yes. And as it turns out, you know, by that time, I had realized that Donald Trump was on my side on virtually every issue and that we were aligned on those issues. And I was very. I was, I was very grateful when he offered me to join the campaign. I had been, you know, seeing. I've talked about this before. I've been watching this deterioration in the health of our children, the rise of chronic disease, since 2005. I had 11 siblings, 70 first cousins. I never knew anybody with a peanut allergy. I never knew anybody with eczema. I never knew anybody with autism. And I was raised on the front line of intellectual disabilities. I was working as a hugger and a coach in Special Olympics when I was 8 years old. Before it, when it was still called Camp Shriver, we never saw any kids like that. And suddenly they're everywhere. Every classroom had an EpiPen in it, and nobody was talking about it. And when I started talking about it, I got censored. And I prayed every day for 19 years that God would put me in a position to change us. And then in August 2024, God sent me Donald Trump. And, you know, and President Trump in June had put out a tweet about the chronic disease epidemic in kids that I could have written. And so when he invited me to join his campaign, I was, you know, I was just inclined to do what I could and trust that this was the path I was supposed to be taking.
Mercedes Schlapp
Last question, Last question. You're with the president. You go to these cabinet meetings. You're in the meetings. You're in the room where the action, the decisions are being made. Tell us about that relationship with President Trump.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Well, let me just say this. President Trump is exactly the opposite of everything that I believed him to be. And you know, I met, I basically drank the Kool Aid, that he was this bombastic narcissist who didn't read books, was ill informed, and then now I know exactly the opposite. He's the opposite of a narcissist. He's an empath. You see that every time he talks about the Ukraine war, he talks about the casualties on both sides. You will not hear any Democrat ever talk about that. And he talks about the Russian kids who are dying. He gets the reports every week and they make a huge impression on him about the death rate. A thousand kids a day are dying over there. My son fought in Ukraine and he's the only member of his military unit who survived. And he understands that these are people's children. And he talks about that. And then also he has encyclopedic molecular knowledge on this wide range of very, very eclectic interests. Music, Broadway shows, pro wrestling, football, every sport, golf and business and Wall Street. He knows how everybody made their money and what deals they made. And he tells stories all the time about it. It's just one after the other. And one time, I was, during the campaign, I was on the airplane with them and we were sitting across the table from each other eating McDonald's, drinking Diet Coke. And we started talking about Syria. And he got a placemat and he turned it on its back and then he took a Sharpie and he drew a perfect map of the Mid East. And then he put the troop strength of every country on every border on that. And it just, it challenged a lot of the assumptions that I had been told about him. He has, you know, he has this extraordinary depth of knowledge about what's happening in each one of the agencies, my agency and the others. And, you know, and he has an instinct for making good choices.
Mercedes Schlapp
Well, I have to say that, and
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I would say this, I think my uncle, John Kennedy understood the use of power better than any president who has preceded them. I think Donald Trump understands the use of power better than probably any president that we've had, at least since Roosevelt and maybe in American history.
Mercedes Schlapp
I'm going to add one more, and I know I just have to ask this. If your dad were alive today, what would he say about you and what you've done?
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I mean, everything that I've done in my life and the choices I've made in my career are choices that I, that I think my father and my uncle would support. I think that if they were around today, that they would be making the same kind of choice that President Trump is about Iran, about Ukraine, about trying to raise up the middle class. I'll tell you something. I grew up in a Democratic Party when The Democrats owned 30% of the wealth and the Republicans owned 70% of the wealth. And today it's exactly the inverse. Democrats own 70% of the wealth and the Republicans own 30% of the wealth. And the Democrats are no longer on the side of the middle class. They're contemptful of it. And President Trump is completely committed to farmers, to firemen, to political police, people who are working in this country. And, you know, that was the Democratic constituency that I grew up with.
Mercedes Schlapp
Well, I want to say God gave us President Trump, and I'm so glad God gave us you to serve our country. Thank you and God bless.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Thank you for.
CPAC Commentator
Wow, what an amazing cpac, you guys. This one is for the record book.
CPAC Team Member
Who would have expected that? I mean, I mean, that was.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
That is true.
CPAC Commentator
Incredible. Who would have expected it? I'll tell you my favorite thing about this cpac, though, isn't just the beauty, big names, isn't just the great speeches, isn't just all of you, although you're a big part. My favorite thing is I feel like this has been an expression of freedom, cpac. I feel like we're living in the golden era of freedom in such ways. The panel that I participated in yesterday was called Cigars, Steaks and Ivermectin four years ago.
President of Poland, Carol Noski
Sounds delicious.
CPAC Commentator
We'd have been investigated.
Mercedes Schlapp
We'd have been audited.
CPAC Commentator
We'd have been in so much trouble. But what was your favorite part?
Entertainment Host
Well, obviously, I think the entertainment hours were amazing. Amazing. And that's just a credit to Rob and Parker, especially the host.
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
He was pretty awesome.
Ryan Reynolds
Well done.
Entertainment Host
But, you know, to kind of tease something Vinnie said earlier today, when we first started out, there's a lot of great things coming for this network. And, you know, David, you talked about faith and family and freedom. I remember a conversation I had a couple years ago with Rob Sig, and you don't get conversations like this often. And this is when I first started out here. And he said, you know, I'm doing real America's, you know, voice. But he goes, my time's getting so occupied. I really want to do something with faith. I got to do something with faith with, like, a faith type channel. So stay tuned because you're going to see a lot more faith content even.
CPAC Commentator
Oh, are you tipping us off here?
Dr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I am.
Entertainment Host
I am. And the other thing, Gina, I would say is yesterday I heard chants of usa. You're going to hear that at every CPAC you ever go to, right? What I heard when I got closer were Iranians down there with Iranian flags chanting, usa. Thank you, President Trump. Maybe the loudest group of people that you wouldn't expect in terms of this feeling of unity, and it was coming from Iranian people crying out for freedom.
CPAC Commentator
Absolutely. You are kind of the guru behind the scenes. So I'm going to tell Zen master over there to close his ears for a minute and tell us what you know that's coming for Rab, because I know you've got the scoop.
Ryan Reynolds
Oh, yeah. Well, I think what. What we're really talking about is the. The. Our audience and the conservative audience is starved for additional content in a lot of other areas, not just politics. And our audience is so engaged that they want to consume those things. So faith and family. Yeah, that's a high priority. We're going to be addressing that. We might be having a kids thing going on. We got our music stuff happening. Health and wellness. I mean, all of these categories where they're underserved, especially with family value, conservative, faith value type of content.
Mercedes Schlapp
So.
Ryan Reynolds
So that's what we could be looking for. But one point I want to make as someone who's sort of new with the group here, is I felt like a family here for real. I felt the camaraderie almost like with our. With our audience and with the ownership and with all of you, almost like summer camp. Like, we all got together because we really care and we sort of care about each other in a different. In a different way. Not just a. A bunch of professionals getting paid to do whatever we do. It really felt like a family. And I noticed that with the audience members who were coming over, it was like, hey, Vin, they call me Vinnie Mac. You know, that's my. My name on the show. They're like, hey, Vinnie Mac. Hey, what. What happened with your dog? Or, you know, what happened with this? Like, we're so connected, and it's so special. And I have to tell you, I cherished every moment of it and every conversation that I had with every one of you out there. I loved every second of it. Thank you.

CPAC does not matter. None of these events matter if we don't take what we got from this event and put it into action on the ground. And that's really in all of this. That's what it's all about. That's what it's all about for the audience. That's what it's all about for us. We have to take this and defeat our enemies.
