Calley Means, a top adviser to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., sparred with the MSM and Big Pharma lobbyists in an explosive interview where he called out the “utter failure” of health authorities to stop the rise in chronic disease and made the case for the Trump administration to make “dramatic changes” to the status quo, including the removal of government bureaucrats.
“Fundamentally, what Bobby has done is taken over a department that has utterly failed,” said Means at POLITICO’s Health Care Summit Wednesday. “The idea that Bobby Kennedy should not come in and make dramatic changes to the leadership and the personnel at these authorities that have overseen an abject devastation of American health which the lobbyists in this room do not have the humility to admit that we have gone completely wrong – the lobbyists in this room [are] laughing when we have the sickest children in the developed world.”
“It is insane for you to insinuate that the things standing between us and better health is more government bureaucrats.”
Watch highlights of the encounter where Means, who is also a co-founder of TrueMed, reminded the audience of the mandate given to President Trump to Make America Healthy Again.
Just listen to how dumbfounded and ignorant the host and audience acts when he calls them out for their abject failures.

Means even shut down POLITICO’s White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns’ attempt to regurgitate the tired argument that “healthy food is expensive.”
“One thing Bobby Kennedy is not going to do is entertain comments from food industry lobbyists using food prices as an excuse to continue poisoning children.”

Below is Kennedy’s speech where he called Trump a “pivotal historical figure” while slamming the rise of the military-industrial complex and USAID corruption.
For 20 years, I’ve gotten up every morning on my knees and prayed that God would put me in a position where I can end the childhood chronic disease epidemic in this country. On August 23rd of last year, God sent me president Trump. [Trump] has kept every promise made to me. He’s kept his word in every account and gone way beyond it.
I’m so grateful to you, Mr. President. A lot of people told me that I couldn’t trust President Trump, I better get it in writing. We did a handshake, and everything he told me he was going to do, he has done. I’m so grateful to him. (Turing to Trump) I’ve told you before. I genuinely believe that you are a pivotal historical figure and you are going to transform this country at a time when we see all of the conditions of democracy in tatters in our country. We see the rise of the military-industrial complex, the rise of totalitarianism, these attacks on our constitution, and this breathtaking epidemic that is disabling our people.
President Trump has promised to restore the American dream in this country. A healthy person has 1,000 dreams, a sick person only has one. 60% of our population has only one dream, that they get better.
President Trump has promised to restore America’s strength. We can’t be a strong nation if we have a weak citizenry. 60% of our people are sick. 77%, as President Trump had mentioned, of our children cannot qualify for military service.
We need a man on a white horse now. We need somebody who is willing to come in, and has the spine and the guts and the strength, to challenge orthodoxies, to stand in the way of vested interests and to break institutions that have turned against our democracy.
President Trump has shown again and again he is that hero.
Most recently, I greatly appreciate it, I called you the day you announced the termination of USAID. My uncle started USAID in 1961 for humanitarian purposes to put our country on the side of the poor. It has been captured by the military-industrial complex. It has become a sinister propagator of totalitarianism and war across the globe. And very few people understand how sinister this agency really is. President Trump saw that and he stood up to it with a masterstroke.
We want to do the same thing with the institutions that are stealing the health of our children.
We need a revolutionary figure. And (to Trump) YOU are that figure. And I’m very grateful for you for giving me this opportunity.
Since you made it this far, take a moment to read the following reports that elucidate just how much a boon Kennedy will be for the nation’s well being.
