Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Is in full-blown panic mode, folks, because rumors started swirling late last week that he was contemplating a presidential run in the year 2028. Now, right off the bat, that sounds weird, doesn't it? Not that he wants to run for president, but that he would be freaking out that those rumors would be swirling. You see, Kennedy's worried about getting on Donald Trump's bad side by these rumors that he's gonna run for president in 2028 a year when, by the way, Trump legally can't even run. And yeah, the Republican party is thinking, okay, we've gotta start figuring out who our 2028 nominee is gonna be. So it it, it's not a back stab to Trump to consider running for president when he leaves office. So I don't understand what the freakout is about, but Freakout Kennedy did nevertheless, and he got on social media and said this, the swamp is in full panic mode.
DC lobby shops are laboring fiercely to drive a wedge between President Trump and me hoping to thwart our team from dismantling the status quo and advancing POTUS make America healthy again. Agenda. They're pushing the flat out lie that I'm running for president in 2028. Let me be clear, I am not running for president in 2028. My loyalty is to President Trump and the mission we've started. There are attacks on my staff, especially Stephanie Spear, a fierce, loyal warrior for Maha who proudly serves in the Trump administration and works every day to advance President Trump's vision for a healthier, stronger America. Our proof, we're over the target. We'll keep moving forward. We'll keep delivering wins and no smear campaign will stop us.
Um, he continues with a bunch more lies than just the dumbest you've ever heard. But let me, let me go ahead and stop right there to go ahead and debunk a lot of the crap that this idiot just threw out. First and foremost, he accused DC lobby shops of being the ones to spread this rumor. It's these lobbyists trying to drive a wedge between us. Nope, wrong again. It was Laura Loomer, one of Donald Trump's closest allies. Somebody that actually travels around with him a hell of a lot more than you do, somebody who has more private time with him than you could ever imagine. She is the one who is in his ear telling him that you are contemplating a run for president in 2028. On top of that, she is also the one who attacked Stephanie Spear, the staffer that you called out by name as being attacked by these DC lobby shops. It was a frigging Republican because that's what they do. You used to know that, by the way, when you were the co-host of Ring of Fire because you talked about it every week. We spent
Years talking on this program with you as the co-host about what these Republicans are actually all about. The greed, the selfishness, the lying, the misinformation, the attacks on science. I mean, that was really kind of your niche on the show, the attacks on science. And now here you are, one of them becoming one of the people that you railed against on this very program. Nobody in this administration sickens me more than Kennedy, not because of what he is doing that is sickening enough, but because of what he used to be. That is why I am so sickened by this creature running health and human services. Other lies to debunk here. You say, my loyalty is to Donald Trump. Man, when ring of, uh, ring of Fire started back in 2004 and you were on this show with Mike Papantonio, I would love to know what that man who was hosting this show in 2004 would say when he heard you from 2025 say, my loyalties to President Trump.
