Chapter 1: What was the outcome of the cross-examination of Trump cabinet members?
Them Dems are at it again, some scathing cross-examination of these MAGA Republican witnesses, and particularly these Trump cabinet members, one by one, testifying, and Democratic senators smacking them down, Democratic House members smacking them down. Let's talk about what went down. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, who's just been
crushing it lately on a tear of MAGA frauds, liars, and grifters. Here's Senator Murphy laying down the law with RFK Jr. Watch what goes down. Play this clip.
APPROPRIATED BY CONGRESS FOR THE PURPOSE OF VACCINATION PROGRAMS. THAT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED. YOU'VE DONE THE OPPOSITE. YOU CANCELLED $12 BILLION IN GRANTS TO THE STATES, INCLUDING MY STATE, THAT ARE USED TO ADMINISTER AND TRACK VACCINES. YOU PROMISED CHAIRMAN CASSIDY WHEN DID I DO THAT? MADAM CHAIR, WOULD YOU ALLOW ME TO FINISH MY QUESTION? Let me finish my question.
Just tell me when I did it so I can understand what the question is.
You have canceled $12 billion in public health grants to states, whether you know this or not. That funding is used by the states in part to be able to administer and dispense information about vaccines. Mr. Secretary, let me give you the full panoply of the things you said before this committee that didn't turn out to be true.
You also promised Chairman Cassidy that the FDA would not change vaccine standards from quote, historical norms. But what happened as soon as you were sworn in? You announced new standards for vaccine approvals that you proudly referred to in your own press release as a radical departure from current practice. And experts say that that departure will delay approvals.
You also said specific to the measles vaccine that you support the measles vaccine, but you have consistently been undermining the measles vaccine. You told the public that the vaccine wanes very quickly. You went on the Dr. Phil show and said that the measles vaccine was never fully tested for safety. You said there's fetal debris in the measles vaccine. And this morning. All true. All true.
This morning. Do you want me to lie to the public? That's not none of that. Of course, it's true. Of course, it's true.
Senator, I'm begging your pardon. I do not know what you're talking about.

Chapter 2: How did Senator Chris Murphy challenge RFK Jr. on vaccine policies?
This is a very important agency, prevents babies from dying. This is the same one you fired every single person in this office as of April the 1st.
You see, he doesn't even know the most basic, basic things. Let's take a look at Democratic Senator Murray. Let's play this clip.
but to delay her treatment by an additional four weeks. Now, an extra four weeks may not sound like a long time, but I will tell you, for stage four cancer patients like Natalie, this could mean the difference between life and death. Secretary Kennedy, how many staff have been cut from the NIH's clinical center? I want a specific number.
I can't tell you that now, Senator Marbury, but I can tell you that is that if you contact my office tomorrow, I'll look specifically into that.
Well, that is not acceptable. I want an answer back by that. She deserves it. I do it. She doesn't have much time. She deserves an answer back.
Wouldn't you rather get her into that clinical trial as fast as you can?
Absolutely.
All right. So if you contact my office tomorrow.
You are here to defend your budget. I'm here to ask you questions about the impact of that. That's how you do it.

Chapter 5: What was RFK Jr.'s response to accusations about vaccine misinformation?
I don't want the choice to be uninsured.
But they don't want the choice to die because they don't get to a doctor. Americans prefer private insurance to other insurance sources.
Now, our friend here at the Midas Touch Network, Senator Tammy Baldwin, got her shot at questioning RFK Jr. Play this clip.
The request for federal assistance was denied because of lack of staff. The entire childhood lead poisoning branch has been fired. In the words of a Milwaukee mom, it really sends a message of, you don't matter. I don't know what you would say to parents who must now test their children for lead and deal with school closures, but do you intend to eliminate this branch at CDC, yes or no?
No, we do not.
Okay. because you cannot tell us that you want to make America healthy again when you are willfully destroying programs that keep children safe and healthy from lead poisoning. Congress dedicated $51 million in funding for this particular program. But when a community asks for help to prevent lifelong complications for children, and there was no one there to pick up the phone,
And it's not because this program is ineffective. It's because you fired the entire team whose job it is to support communities like Milwaukee.
If that money has been appropriated, we will spend that money. If it's been appropriated to Milwaukee, we will spend it in Milwaukee. I've spent a lot of time in Milwaukee.
It's to provide expert support. And the entire staff has been fired.
