As I start my work here at HHS, I want to address both my supporters and the American public. We all know that America faces unprecedented levels of chronic disease, obesity, and addiction. While we can't be certain of the causes, finding them and acting on them will be my top priority.
In our first 100 days, we will examine every possible factor, listen to experts, dissidents, insiders, and the public, leaving no stone unturned. We will investigate our food, medicine, water, lifestyles, and environment with an open mind.
We must care more about our children's health than being right or financial profit. We will bring transparency to our health agencies, eliminating conflicts of interest and prioritizing honest science. After identifying the causes of chronic disease, we will reverse it. With your help, and President Trump's support, we can unify to solve this problem.
Speaker 0: Hi. I'm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. On my first day at work here at HHS, I want to take this moment to say a few words both to my supporters in the Make America Healthy Again movement, but also to all of the American public. I could read you a list of statistics proving that Americans suffer far higher levels of chronic disease, obesity, addiction, cancer, infertility, and depression than ever before in history and more than any other country in the world.
You already know that. It's pretty obvious that something has gone terribly wrong with our health. I'm also not gonna tell you the reasons for this decline. Why? Because neither I nor anyone else can be certain.
But what I will tell you is that we are going to find out and we are going to do something about it. My commitment to you is that we're going to make chronic disease our top priority. In our first hundred days we're gonna examine every possible contributing factor to the epidemic of chronic disease. We will leave no stone unturned. We're gonna listen to the experts and to the dissidents.
We're gonna listen to insiders and to the whistleblowers. We're gonna listen to the doctors and we're gonna listen to the mobs. We will examine our food, our medicine, our water, our lifestyles, and our environment. Everything that goes into America's bodies. I promise you that I will enter this inquiry with an open mind and a willingness to be wrong.
And I ask that you join me in that. That's how we're gonna build unity in this age of political division. We have to find something we care about more than being right, more than political advantage, and more than financial profit. The health of our children is a higher calling for all of us. And here's another promise.
We're gonna usher in a new era of transparency in all of our health agencies. There's gonna be no more hidden conflicts of interest, no more secrecy, no more profiteering on the substances that we're supposed to be regulating. We're gonna earn the public's trust with honest, unbiased science. After we get clear on the causes of chronic disease we're gonna take action to reverse it. I know that many of you have lost hope.
I know that many of you take these chronic conditions as a normal part of life. Oh, it doesn't have to be that way. I know that because it wasn't that way when I was a kid, and it doesn't have to be that way tomorrow. All it takes is to unify our will to get serious about solving this problem. President Trump has made it one of his top priorities, and I promise to do everything in my power to carry it through.
And all I need is your help. Produced by the US Department of Health and Human Services.
