The Charlie Kirk Show · Why Do "They" Want Americans So Unhealthy? ft. Calley Means · 1 Feb 2025 podcast

It showed we are spending three times more per capita than Europe, which, by the way, has terrible health care policy on health and living 10 years less than our friends in Switzerland or Japan and seven years less than the Italians. There's something really broken about our health incentives. And Bobby Kennedy said it, Charlie. There's nothing more profitable than a sick child.

The insurance industry, pharma industry, and hospitals make money when a child is sick with a chronic disease for a longer period of time. And they lose money when a child's healthy. That's the fundamental problem.

And this was really galvanized, I think, you and many other people and these incredible turning point events during the campaign. It's not a slight on any one person. We all know good doctors.

But as a simple statement of economic fact, because of the crony capitalism, because of the rigging of our CMS department and our FDA and our NIH, you know, the standard of care if a kid has high cholesterol is a statin. The standard of care if they're a little bit sad is an SSRI. That's all because of the corruption in our agencies, the corporate capture.

Doctors aren't talking to kids about healthy eating or functional medicine blood testing or getting outside. These things could be incentivized with our medical system. It's not a woo-woo thing. We spend $4.5 trillion on healthcare. And just as a simple fact, 95% of that is after we get sick. It's managing disease. Again, I mentioned they didn't say the word obesity, diabetes, heart disease.

Those chronic conditions are 92% of deaths in America right now. They said the word measles 25 times, the Democrats. 300 Americans, just 300 Americans a year died of measles in 1962 before the vaccine was invented. It's a problem. Right. But we're not focused on the main issue as a health care system. And that's the opportunity that Bill Cassidy, frankly, has with this vote. This is historic.

I'm keeping it positive this 24 hours. We're making the positive element. But this is part of the I know. I know. I know that you believe. Well, well, well, the retribution.

So she's implying that there'll be retribution. I want to make the positive spin is that there is a absolute realignment of Republican politics due to Donald Trump. A lot of reasons. But I was talking to John McLaughlin. I know the administration sees this. The Maha Moms is a huge part of it. I mean, it's been called one of the biggest realignments in American politics.

And you were a big part of this, Charlie, with young people. But you saw that at the events. The young people were very animated about the Maha thing, about not poisoning kids and then drugging them for profit. The gender gap closed much more than we expected. I think it was supposed to be like 22 points and it was eight. It's my understanding. So the gender gap closed and then independence.

I mean, if you said eight years ago that the degree of young people, independence and women were going to come to the Trump coalition, they'd think you were crazy.

This was a multifactorial issue, but clearly because the Maha moment. And I would just say we cannot get worse than where we are right now. We are the sickest country in the developed world. Our public health authorities have totally let us down from Fauci on down. Not only that, there's a true, like, very optimistic vision ahead. I mean, Jay Bhattacharya at the NIH is just an incredible pick.

Marty McCary at the FDA. I mean, it's just unbelievable.

They're Senate confirmed, and I think they'll be great. And they're under the tree of HHS. Yeah. Yeah. And Bobby is an incredible manager. He's a magnetic personality, as you know, but he set the vision and he's going to let them run wild with the mandate to get money to the best researchers.

And importantly, reorient our corrupt American Medical Association codes that say right now that a two-year-old can have gender transition surgery. Reorient the codes to incentivize longevity. We can do that. The whole sick care system we have isn't the free market. It's rigged CMS codes that incentivize us to be Dr. Oz will be doing CMS. And he's he's he's a hero. I really.

I'm just giving my brass tacks here. I believe that Cassidy sends a signal to potentially other wobbly ones. And I do believe, I don't want to mince words, as Cassidy goes, so does the vote.

That's my opinion, Charlie. And I think everyone here should be sending positive messages to Cassidy, positive, saying the opportunity for American health. You've got the wobbly ones who voted against Hegseth. And I really think Cassidy is going to set a tone here. I think we've got to get Cassidy.

He said at the end of the hearing, actually very directly, that he was torn on this and was going to be talking to Bobby this weekend.

Collins made some nice comments at the hearing.

Oh, absolutely. Lyme disease is a huge issue in her state. Bobby's been a world leader on Lyme disease.

No, it's true. Everyone look at it.
