  The holy cannolis. Can somebody please just check
• 0:04
  in with RFK? Is he OK?
• 0:07
  I don't know. RFK on autism.
• 0:10
  I think it's time I kind of like spoke about this and addressed
• 0:14
  it, right. OK, I know you're all thinking
• 0:16
  what the RFK talking about autism about like Robert Kennedy
• 0:20
  Junior is on this kind of like dog, you know, with a, with a
• 0:27
  bone trying to figure out health concerns in America, which is a
• 0:29
  great thing. Somebody looking after American
• 0:32
  health other than big farmer or somebody who's trying to make
• 0:35
  money off you is a good thing, right?
• 0:37
  And, and I understand that, but I also understand that the, the,
• 0:39
  the industry needs to make money to survive.
• 0:41
  I understand that too. But RFK talking about autism
• 0:46
  specifically, it gets crazier and crazier.
• 0:51
  So I'm going to try and be politically kind of like neutral
• 0:54
  here. I don't want to talk about my
• 0:55
  political beliefs or, or anything like that.
• 0:57
  Robert Kennedy, before he was even in office, some of the
• 1:00
  things he did was kind of interesting.
• 1:02
  You know, he was kind of like, hey, eat healthy and, and work
• 1:05
  out and, you know, drink water, that kind of stuff.
• 1:07
  Cool. Love that.
• 1:09
  Since getting in, you know, in a, in a position of, of
• 1:12
  influence. Oh my goodness, the guy has just
• 1:15
  gone crazy. Now, a friend of mine, Doctor
• 1:16
  Mike did this video talking about RFK and vaccines and, and
• 1:19
  autism. And Mike was talking about like,
• 1:23
  you know, the research and the studies, the how like vaccines
• 1:26
  don't cause autism, on which I agree, vaccines do not cause
• 1:28
  autism. And then RFK comes out and and
• 1:32
  he's, I was looking at the news today and it's kind of like RFK,
• 1:36
  the cause of autism could be revealed by RFK Junior this
• 1:40
  month, right? This is what he's going to say.
• 1:42
  And he said that because he's a health secretary of America,
• 1:46
  right? He thinks that Tylenol usage
• 1:49
  during pregnancy can cause autism, which is absolutely, I
• 1:55
  mean, like, that's crazy, Nori, is it crazy?
• 1:59
  It makes no sense. Why doesn't it make no sense?
• 2:03
  And the simple reason Tylenol is an American painkiller, right?
• 2:08
  Or an American kind of anti-inflammatory drug.
• 2:10
  I'm not even tired. I'm not entirely sure which one
• 2:12
  it is. It's some kind of painkiller,
• 2:13
  right? We don't even have Tylenol in
• 2:15
  the UK. It's almost specific for North
• 2:19
  America because it's a North American brand.
• 2:20
  We don't have it here. We just have like other brands
• 2:23
  and other medicines. The fact that he says about
• 2:26
  this, Tylenol's a brand make, not a drug, right?
• 2:29
  So it's not the actual name of the drug is the name of the
• 2:30
  brand. Is he saying Tylenol the brand?
• 2:35
  You know what is this war on Tylenol?
• 2:36
  There was there was that thing the Netflix documentary like the
• 2:38
  Tylenol murders or whatever it was called.
• 2:40
  I don't know. But did the guys?
• 2:43
  It makes no sense. Look I did a funny meme on my
• 2:48
  Instagram account the other day that got like viral share.
• 2:53
  I'll put a picture here. Look, the the reason autism
• 2:57
  occurs is because autistic individuals procreate and when
• 3:01
  they procreate, when 2 autistic individual procreate, they
• 3:05
  increase the chances of the offspring having autism, right?
• 3:08
  Autism is a genetic disposition that happens through genes and
• 3:12
  it's just something that's just different in in the gene cycle.
• 3:16
  Why is it becoming more intense? Well, like anything else, it
• 3:19
  becomes more concentrated. You know why?
• 3:23
  Why are certain things like pass through?
• 3:24
  Because becomes more concentrated when you have more
• 3:26
  autistic individuals having access to more things, then
• 3:29
  they're able to kind of become more independent or
• 3:32
  self-sufficient. Go out on dates, have babies,
• 3:34
  you know, and then you can have more autistic kids.
• 3:38
  The the epidemic, like you talked about the epidemic of
• 3:39
  autism. Now there isn't an epidemic of
• 3:41
  autism. All we have is an epidemic of
• 3:42
  understanding it right. And there's nothing wrong with
• 3:44
  that. Our case trying to fix a problem
• 3:46
  doesn't need fix it. You know, one of the biggest
• 3:48
  problems probably is the fact that, you know, to buy Tylenol,
• 3:53
  for instance, in America, it's like 150 bucks for like if if
• 3:57
  you were in the healthcare system, it's like 150 bucks per
• 3:59
  like prescription something right, for Tylenol.
• 4:01
  We can get over the counter for like, I don't know, 6 to $7.00.
• 4:05
  So there's other issues in American health that need
• 4:07
  fixing, right? But he's going after this autism
• 4:11
  and like, it's, it's, you know, it's so interesting or, or why
• 4:14
  doesn't he open up? You know, the discussion on, you
• 4:18
  know, anybody who has autism should be allowed therapy and
• 4:25
  access to, you know, ADHD medication without kind of like
• 4:29
  jumping through a billion hoops or autism assessments should be
• 4:34
  free at the point of views, even if you have insurance or not.
• 4:37
  You know, things like that are better or bigger issues right
• 4:39
  now. Look, I'm not here to debate
• 4:40
  American politics or American healthcare politics, but it is
• 4:42
  the only developed nation in the world that doesn't have
• 4:44
  universal healthcare, which is a bit weird, right?
• 4:46
  So he's going into a system that's already up for judgement
• 4:50
  and trying to fix something that doesn't even need fixing.
• 4:52
  Nobody's saying, hey, stop, you know, stop trying to fix autism.
• 4:56
  Yes, autistic individuals who are Level 3, you know, have it
• 5:01
  more difficult, right? I'm not saying that like it
• 5:04
  isn't a a difficulty having a nonverbal child for the parents
• 5:08
  or isn't it difficulty being a nonverbal, you know, human being
• 5:12
  on the autism spectrum? That's not what I'm saying.
• 5:13
  I'm saying yes, those difficulties are real and those
• 5:16
  struggles are real, but it would help if we could support them
• 5:18
  rather than like trying to find like the cause when we already
• 5:22
  know that the cause is just simply autistic individual meets
• 5:25
  autistic individual. They have babies and those
• 5:27
  babies potentially become more autistic.
• 5:29
  So I, I don't know where, where this is going to go.
• 5:35
  And So what if RFK says, OK, don't take Tylenol, you're on
• 5:39
  pregnancy because you might have your chances of, you know,
• 5:41
  having an autistic. OK, So what, how many, how much
• 5:45
  billions of dollars we spend on this, right?
• 5:47
  Crazy, but it is what it is. I think RFKI don't know if
• 5:53
  people will lead him up the garden path and make him look
• 5:55
  crazy. If he actually is crazy.
• 5:57
  I haven't got a clue. Again, I'm not an American
• 5:59
  citizen. I don't know too much about
• 6:01
  American politics and it just seems that I needed to address
• 6:06
  it because like, he just seems crazy, right?
• 6:09
  And I don't think he's crazy. I don't like the guy in all of
• 6:13
  the facets that I've ever seen him in.
• 6:15
  Bear in mind, like this is very limited.
• 6:17
  Like I've seen him on TV and I've seen him random things.
• 6:19
  Maybe he's written a book. He seemed OK.
• 6:21
  He seemed level headed. He didn't seem crazy but it's
• 6:24
  like all of a sudden it's just gone loopy.
• 6:26
  What the Hell's going on Anyway, let some of y'all comments on it
• 6:28
  please pop it and comment down below.
• 6:29
  Sorry this was like raw ready unedited just as it is, but I
• 6:33
  needed to address it because like holy smokes is he OK?
• 6:37
