This is a preventable disease. We know it's an environmental exposure. It has to be. Genes do not cause epidemics. They can provide a vulnerability. You need an environmental toxin.

971.847 - 1003.817 Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

And Irva Herzpachota pointed out that because of this mythology, that the amount of money and resources put into studying genetic causes, which is a dead end, has been historically 10 to 20 times the amount spent by NIH and other agencies. to study environmental factors, to study exposures, to study external factors, and that's where we're going to find the answer.

The IRS whistleblower who accused the DOJ of undermining his investigation into Hunter Biden is now running the tax agency he says was bullied. Gary Shapley on Wednesday named acting commissioner of the IRS. Mr. Shapley first coming forward in 2023, detailing how the Justice Department deliberately slow walked the IRS's Hunter Biden investigation to shield then candidate Joe Biden.

0

1052.71 - 1075.071 Megyn Kelly

Mr. Shapley telling Congress that DOJ tax made a concerted effort to slow walk this case so that they could get it into the period in which the DOJ will not bring charges due to its rule of thumb against doing anything that might affect an election. Mr. Shapley, later facing retaliation from IRS officials, told to either accept a demotion or resign.

1075.731 - 1093.107 Megyn Kelly

Resisting the pressure, Mr. Shapley, who was running heard on the investigation at IRS, filed a retaliation claim with the Office of Special Counsel, which ultimately ruled in his favor. In June 2023 on The Megyn Kelly Show, Mr. Shapley explaining why he decided to go public.

1093.663 - 1103.631 Gary Shapley

we're doing the right thing. And the mission of IRS CI is to instill confidence in the tax code. We make sure that people are being treated equally and fairly.

1103.651 - 1125.699 Gary Shapley

You know, there's two IRS agents, you know, standing up and saying this person got preferential treatment and you know, you, if it was a business owner on the corner he wouldn't have gotten, he or she wouldn't have gotten that special treatment and we probably would have been in jail already. So, so that's, that's what I say to America. I mean, We're here. We're the big, bad IRS.

1126.28 - 1132.843 Gary Shapley

And we're here fighting for you because it needs to be a fair application of justice. Justice, indeed.

Chapter 4: How does RFK Jr. view the CDC's stance on autism?

Chapter 5: What accusations are being made against Judge Boasberg?

486.61 - 509.134 Megyn Kelly

On Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ruling there is probable cause to charge members of the Trump administration with criminal contempt, accusing officials of violating a court order when they failed to return two planes of Venezuelan nationals who were deported under the Alien Enemies Act. The dispute stemming from a verbal directive Boasberg gave from the bench.

0

509.594 - 532.154 Megyn Kelly

demanding that the planes be turned around midair. That piece of the order was not included in a later written directive issued after the planes were out of U.S. airspace. Judge Boasberg writing, quote, The contempt finding comes despite the fact that the U.S.

0

532.194 - 554.092 Megyn Kelly

Supreme Court has already ruled against Judge Boasberg in this case, finding that the matter was filed in the wrong court, meaning Judge Boasberg lacked the authority to issue the restraining order in the first place. We spoke with Julie Kelly, who's been covering this case. She's a reporter for Declassified on Substack. She says Judge Boasberg is way out of bounds.

0

554.893 - 583.774 Megyn Kelly

I mean, it's sort of fascinating to read this 46-page opinion that Judge Bosberg issued and still arguing that somehow these temporary restraining orders that have been vacated by the Supreme Court last week are somehow still in play and can be the basis for a criminal contempt investigation into Trump officials. He is citing certain case law. Now, none of it deals with the very delicate

584.392 - 612.196 Megyn Kelly

balance between the judiciary and executive branch, but he claims that any court order, regardless of its ultimate fate, and in this case, two written orders overturned by the Supreme Court, still have to be abided by as it's headed towards the appellate and then Supreme Court level. So That's sort of stunning. I'm not really sure how the Supreme Court is going to respond to this.

612.336 - 617.324 Megyn Kelly

Of course, obviously, the Trump DOJ is going to immediately appeal this.

618.137 - 643.055 Megyn Kelly

Judge Bosberg warning the DOJ that if it does not enforce his now vacated order to get those planes back, the court will identify the Trump officials responsible and recommend that they be prosecuted for contempt. He says if the DOJ refuses to pursue the case for criminal contempt against the Trump administration, he will appoint another prosecutor to do it. More from Julie Kelly.

643.656 - 669.738 Megyn Kelly

Jeff Bosberg has saying, well, if the DOJ refuses won't pursue criminal charges for contempt, then he will appoint, the court can appoint an attorney to do just that. And this is what Jeb Bosberg has just threatened in this order as well. Even more stunning is that he says the way to remedy any contempt investigation or charges is to abide by his temporary restraining order,

670.151 - 688.923 Megyn Kelly

to return these Venezuelans who were on those two planes on March 15th. But that temporary restraining order is null and void because it's been vacated by the Supreme Court. So he's really twisted himself in knots. But Jeb Bosberg does not care. He doesn't care that he was overturned by the Supreme Court.
