Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s first confirmation hearing in the Senate Committee on Finance was a raucous, at times explosive, affair as Democrats grilled the nominee over his past.
The hearing over Kennedy’s nomination to lead Health and Human Services (HHS) lasted roughly three-and-a-half hours before Republican chairman Sen. Mike Crapo had to cut the hearing to rush for a vote. Democrats continued to question and, at times, berate Kennedy up to the final minute.
“All these Democrats are opposed to me for partisan issues, they used to be my friends,” Kennedy said at one point. “They agreed with all the issues I’ve been working on my whole career. Now, they’re against me because anything President Trump does has to be discredited, derided, and vilified.”

Kennedy’s left-wing activist past has raised alarms among conservatives and Republican lawmakers. To allay those concerns, the nominee repeatedly promised to enforce President Trump’s agenda. He said he would follow the president’s lead on abortion policy, including the abortion drug mifepristone, and denied attacks that he is “anti-vaccine.”
“President Trump has asked me to end the chronic disease epidemic and make America healthy again … and that is what I’m doing,” Kennedy said under questioning from Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, laying out his top priority if confirmed to lead HHS. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
