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

Senator Bennett, who is a senator from Colorado, a Dem, who was one of my favorite Dems, just disgraced himself. He disgraced himself at this hearing. I know. And he's usually, I sometimes think he's kind of reasonable. He disgraced himself.

I've learned a lot from you, Charlie. We've got to sprint through the finish line here. I think Collins looks good. I think Lankford looks good. Collins would be great. I think Lankford looks good, but we've got to get Cassie.

That's my read. And I think Cassidy is weathervane. I think he gives a signal if he votes no. I think it's a problem. Just the brass tacks are Cassidy's an influential guy.

The doctor of the Senate. He's the chair of the health committee. And to his credit, he's been a long-term good doctor.

There's no question in my head.

There's no question in my head that he cares in his head about public health and cares about the American patient. I actually think there's this, it's almost a symbolic thing. He's the traditional system and Bobby represents this new paradigm. He's CMS policy. Bobby's how do we actually incentivize better health? So them merging together, I actually think could be successful.

Yeah, and I know we all have opinions. Not the you better type stuff. No, it's not the threat. I mean, Cassidy said this. I think he said in his career he's never gotten more phone calls than he has this time from the Maha moms. They took down the phone number. Yeah, they're camping out at his office.

I mean, I just want to say, Charlie, I mean, channeled by Turning Point and the campaign and now here, This grassroots mobilization around so many issues, but around health. I mean, it's pretty inspiring to see. I mean, there were moms that drove 10 hours with their kids to come to this hearing. It was it was pretty damn cool. And the senators have said they've seen nothing like it in a long time.

So he's feeling that. And that, I would say, is both a positive and a negative. Clearly, there's going to be massive ramifications for any Republican. The votes know it's particularly with Bobby Kennedy. But yeah, I just want to say this to everyone. Right now, this is a big vote. We're at a fork in the road for American health.

I believe it's a societally destabilizing situation we're in where we are 4% of the world's population, 75% of worldwide pharmaceutical profits, and 60th in life.

And we are 60th in life expectancy.

Let's get into what—and this gets into the positive vision we can all paint. Let's get into what Bobby can actually do. So how are drug prices 10 times more expensive? How are the United States' decisions on more drugs? Well, it's because you first drug the NIH research. The NIH research is 85% pharmaceutical R&D.

basically saying not what causes Alzheimer's, but to find little band-aids for Alzheimer's. Then the FDA approval process is totally dominated by big pharma. They pay 75% of the budget, and it costs $3 billion to get a therapeutic through, which only necessitates large pharma things, not innovative AI things or not innovative therapeutics from startups.

Then the FDA approvals underlie the CMS codes, which are the backbone of our economy. 20% of our economy is basically driven by that, our entire healthcare system. So you have this CMS situation where outside groups, literally lobbying organizations, make logic that underlie our entire health care paradigm, which basically wait for people to get sick and then jab a drug gun in their throat.

There's no reason, Charlie, we don't have more codes in Medicare and Medicaid to be more preventative or to have more root cause interventions. The goal of health care obviously should be the most efficacious way to prevent a reverse disease. As a statement of fact, the Medicare-Medicaid system right now is waiting for people to get sick and then drugging them and managing disease.

That's by design and it's through corruption. It's through rigging every single step of the value chain. That's why Bobby has told Senator Cassidy, and he means this, the place you need to start is the NIH. You need to get the research on why we're getting diabetes epidemic rates, why we're so much sicker than Europe, whether the food dyes are healthy, which the FDA currently says they are.

whether all these atrazine, which Alex Jones was right about, it's true. It is true. It is a huge estrogen. It changes our testosterone to estrogen.

Not about everything, but about most of these things. This is definitive. It changes testosterone to estrogen. That is banned in every other country, and we are spraying it in our food. By the way, that chemical atrazine specifically comes from China, and it's not used in China. Yeah. So there's real national security implications here. So you start with NIH.

Then that underlies the FDA approval process. You do regulate the FDA. You have more robust competition for the best therapeutics. And then you get to our code. The gold star, the big kahuna here, Charlie, is the medical codes. Those are totally captured right now. It's a boring part of the world.

And I think what Bobby and President Trump and this great team he's put together, they can communicate. We've got you. We've got Joe Rogan. We've got independent media ready to carry the church. Megyn Kelly was sitting right behind Bobby at the hearing. We are ready to shine a light on this again and again and again and use the grassroots army to get Americans healthier.
