On election night, journalist Tucker Carlson broadcast live from Mar-a-Lago, Florida, and was joined by several prominent guests – not least Robert F. Kennedy, who believes that Trump is unique in American politics.

– He is unlike any politician we have seen in American history. Maybe the one comparison that I would make would be Andrew Jackson. As Andrew Jackson came in without any money or backing from powerful interests – everybody was against him, but he was truly a populist candidate and he came in and did what no one thought was possible – he challenged and dismantled the banks and installed a lot of people who were heretics in public office.

– A lot of people think that Trump is a conventional political because the last time around he initially appointed a lot of very conventional people, lobbyists etc. People don’t remember almost his entire cabinet was gone within two years as he learned to govern.

RFK says he was “shocked” when he realized the significant changes Trump actually wants to make to the US political apparatus and says it will be “unprecedented”.

– He does what he wants to do. He wants a revolution and I think hes going to get one.

Drinking water free of fluoride

As an example, RFK highlights how the Trump administration will call on all US drinking water systems to stop adding fluoride to their water as early as January – because, according to Kennedy, it is associated with lower IQ, nerve disorders and other negative health effects.

– As it turns out fluoride is very very dangerous, it causes IQ loss… It’s something that you wouldn’t want in the water supply, he says and explains that it is most dangerous for children, and that it also can cause bone cancer, arthritis and
other diseases.

Kennedy also highlights how the perception of opposition to fluoride in drinking water has changed over time and how those who opposed it have long been labeled as crazy conspiracy theorists – while today it has become an increasingly accepted and common view.

– It’s just insane that it is in our waters. It’s absolutely insane. It’s one of the easiest things you can do to restore the american health – just get the fluoride out of the water. You are going to have higher IQ children, you are going to have less bone cancer and so on.

Focus on science and testing

RFK is also highly critical of the fact that pharmaceutical giants are not required by law to take any legal or financial responsibility for the harm their vaccines or other medicines cause to the American people, and believes that major changes are needed here too.

– When I was a kid there were 3 vaccines and my kids now are required to take 72 vaccines and I think they have added another six vaccines.

– I just want to make this clear, I don’t want to take vaccines away from people. I don’t want to impose my choices on the American people… But people should have informed choice. They should have good science that tells them the cause and benefits of these products, particularly since they are being ordered to use them… It’s the only medical product that is given to healthy people. You want a product like that to be extra solid, to make sure there is no risk.

According to RFK, no one knows today exactly how dangerous vaccines are or whether they even prevent more problems than they cause. He adds that not a single vaccine in the US vaccine program has been tested thoroughly enough to adequately assess its harmful effects.

– What I am going to do if I am given this job in the White House is I’ll make sure that those studies get done, that there are people on the panels that are approving these products that are not loaded with conflicts of interests, with real science by disinterested people and that doctors and patients in America knows exactly the cost and benefits of every vaccine are so they can make a rational decision.

Getting rid of corruption

Kennedy also says that Donald Trump has asked him to tackle three major problems. The first is to get rid of corruption and conflict in US public health care, and to refocus on public health instead of serving the financial interests of pharmaceutical giants and other large corporations in the field.

The second point is to return US government health agencies to the “gold standard” of the past, which was based on world-class science – not lobbyist agendas.

The third problem to be solved is stopping the “epidemic” of chronic diseases the American people have suffered in recent decades, and Trump wants to see concrete measurable results within two years – something RFK has also promised he can deliver.

It is not yet clear whether RFK will tackle these problems through a leadership position in the US Public Health Service or as a White House health adviser – but whatever the context, he promises big changes.

Democrats have become “the party of war”

Kennedy also talks about the shift in American politics and how in his youth the Democrats were “the party of peace, but today have become the party of war”.

– It was the party of constitutional rights. Now its the party of surveillance and censorship and the weaponization of the federal law enforcement agencies against American democracy. It was the party that stood up for working and poor people and today its the party of big pharma, Wall Street, big tech, the military industrial complex. Its also the party that has completely abandoned the working class base.

He explains that many American workers have abandoned the Democratic Party for the Republican Party because they can no longer relate to their old party. Even in terms of money, the roles are now reversed, with the Democrats now a much richer party than the Republicans and able to raise more money quickly from wealthy donors.

– The Democratic party today is a party that has abandoned democracy, he explains, pointing out that it is a party that today actively censors and opposes uncomfortable voices and wants the state to decide what is “misinformation” and what is not.

Stopped challengers

He also says that the Democrats have worked against him in various ways and that he has been actively and through various strange rules prevented from running and challenging Joe Biden as the party’s presidential candidate.

– They were rigging the party to make sure they could protect their president who was cognitive impaired. They made sure he didn’t debate anybody… I could have won the election for the democrats if they allowed my to run. I’m not saying I am the only one, there are probably many candidates that could have outperformed Joe Biden but they would not let us run, says Kennedy.

By the time Biden debated Trump, and the world saw how mentally unhinged the president really was, it was too late for other Democratic candidates to challenge him – instead, the party announced Kamala Harris as its new presidential candidate.

– They just performed a palace coup against him. We don’t even know how it happened. And then they picked a candidate who never got a single vote.

–They abolished democracy and they chose a candidate who has not been a good candidate, who does not seem to be able to talk off script. The problem with that is, who is writing the scripts for her? At the democratic convention it was the neocons.

Cold War warmongers remain

RFK points out that Harris mostly talked about how the US should continue to act as a world policeman and dominate and rule the world, and says that in practice she is a puppet for powerful interests without any major abilities of her own.

– We need somebody who is willing to stand up to the military industrial complex and these big institutions, he declares.

That Harris would be capable of brokering peace in Ukraine is unthinkable to RFK, and he does not even believe she is capable of sitting down and conversing with other world leaders.

He also emphasizes that the same powerful forces that pursued war between the US and the Soviet Union still exist – and that the US now needs a strong president who does not blindly follow directives from the military-industrial complex but can form his own view of things and make his own decisions – and that Trump, in his view, could be just that president.
