Donald Trump will fight “like hell” to get me into the White House

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made it clear that he will join Donald Trump in his administration if he wins the election.

Kennedy spoke about his plans for the Department of Health and Human Services, saying that Trump would “fight like hell” to have him as secretary if he asked for the job.

I'll keep talking The Story of Martha MacCallum On Sunday, Kennedy even hinted that he would have free rein to decide exactly his role in the department.

“Let me talk to you about your future position if Trump wins. “He has said he wants you to play a major role in Make America Healthy Again and advance many of your policies,” MacCallum urged.

“This is what Howard Lutnick, the head of the transition committee of which you are a member, said about your role.”

MacCallum then played a clip of Lutnick during a CNN interview in which he passionately replied “No, of course not” when asked if Kennedy “would be in charge of HHS.” Instead, Lutnick claimed that the department simply Kennedy would share data with others.

“So is that right? “Are you assuming you wouldn’t be taking on an official role?” asked MacCallum.

“No, I don’t think that’s right. The campaign has walked back some of Howard's statements there. “At this point we are exploring a number of different structures,” Kennedy said.

“The Trump administration and the Trump team have been very, very accommodating and given me what I want. What I want to do is what President Trump asked me to do, which is three things.

“First, it is about ending the corruption and corporate capture of these agencies so that they serve public health interests rather than the commercial interests of pharmaceutical companies. Second, to restore these agencies' tradition of empirically based, evidence-based gold standard science in medicine that they had when I was a child, that they were world famous for, and that they have lost. Third, to end the chronic disease epidemic…”

After sharing more numbers on the chronic disease crisis, Kennedy added, “He asked me to achieve measurable results within two years.”

“My question is, how?” asked MacCallum.

“Why does Howard Lutnick say you don’t have a job?” Do you think this could be a disadvantage for some voters in the final hour? What's up?”

Kennedy gave no details on how he plans to address his outlined health crises, but stressed: “As I said, that's not true. The campaign has rejected these statements by Howard Lutnick and he himself has disavowed these statements.”

“So does that mean you think you could be the HSS secretary if former President Trump wins?” MacCallum asked.

“We don’t know what I’m going to do. I spoke to the President about it yesterday and he asked me what I wanted and I said we are developing a proposal now. You know, I'm not sure that's going to be the most effective,” Kennedy said.

Although he had no clear plan, he made it clear that there was a bed available for him in the White House.

“I want to be in the White House and he has assured me that I will have that. “I want to be in the position where I can most effectively end the chronic disease epidemic, and I am confident that if I wanted to be HHS Secretary, the President would fight like hell to make that happen,” he said.
