"Roger Ailes was the founder of Fox News," RFK tells Dr. Drew. "He believed that the vaccines were causing problems... he said, I wish I could put this on TV. But 17 of the 22 advertising slots on my evening news broadcast are pharma owned. And he said if a single one of my hosts was to allow you onto their show to talk about this issue, I would have to fire them. And if I didn't fire them, I'd hear from Rupert Murdoch in 10 minutes."

Before he was US Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined Dr. Drew and Dr. Kelly Victory LIVE to discuss his activism in children's health, vaccine safety, and removing harmful chemicals from food and the environment.
