Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer and former presidential candidate has faced criticism following his nomination to head the Department of Health and Human Services in the upcoming Trump administration. Despite allegations of anti-vaccine sentiment, a charge he has refuted, Kennedy's outspoken positions on public health issues such as fluoride in water, processed foods, and pesticide use remain contentious. In an in-depth interview, host Jessica Rosenthal spoke with Dr. Robert Redfield, the former CDC director under President-elect Trump, who supported Kennedy's nomination. Dr. Redfield dismissed the label of Kennedy as an "anti-vaxxer" and commended his commitment to tackling America’s issues with obesity and chronic illness. We often must cut interviews down for time during the week. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, allowing you to learn even more about Kennedy’s proposed ideas to fix what he calls America’s “sick care system,” and why Dr. Redfield advocates for many of them.
