Viral Clip Of RFK Jr.'s Disturbingly Labored Breathing During Senate Hearing Has The Internet Horrified
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had viewers recoiling due to his noticeably labored breathing while testifying before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday morning.
Kennedy appeared before federal lawmakers in a series of hearings, where he pushed back on criticism over measles outbreaks and declining vaccination rates while promoting initiatives he said would make health care more affordable.
He also defended President Donald Trump’s proposed 2027 budget, which increases defense spending and cuts more than 12% from the Department of Health and Human Services. Facing bipartisan concern over reductions to programs and research funding, Kennedy agreed the cuts would be “painful” but argued they were necessary to help address the federal government’s $39 trillion deficit.
One moment that went viral captured Kennedy's labored breathing into the microphone as Idaho Republican Senator Mike Crapo, the chair of the Senate Finance Committee, spoke about Kennedy's identification of "nutrition as a bedrock of health," a key component of his Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement.
But it was odd to hear Crapo speak about Kennedy's views on nutrition as "one of the primary levers for treating chronic disease"—all while Kennedy sounded like he was about to keel over even while merely sitting in a chair and waiting for his turn to speak.
The microphone captured all of it—and it's unsettling.
You can watch what happened in the video below.
People were horrified.
Kennedy sure sounded like he was having a health episode of some kind, so it was surreal to see him take center stage while defending his move to roll back the nation's childhood vaccine recommendations.
Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy warned that declining trust in vaccines has contributed to a rise in preventable diseases, raising concerns about potential outbreaks during major upcoming events like the World Cup and America 250. He said that seeing “outbreaks numbering in the thousands” and children dying from preventable illnesses was “more than tragic.”
Drawing on his background as a liver doctor, Cassidy emphasized the importance of early vaccination, noting that giving newborns the hepatitis B shot could have prevented cases he treated.
Despite those views, he ultimately backed Kennedy's appointment to HHS after securing assurances that the known vaccine skeptic would uphold existing vaccine approval systems and support the childhood immunization schedule.
Political observers say Cassidy could face backlash for the decision to question Kennedy's job performance, with potential primary challengers like Julia Letlow and John Fleming expected to highlight moments from the hearings that portray him as out of step with the Trump administration.

Gavin Newsom Epically Rips RFK Jr. For Claiming Trump Has A 'Different Way' Of Doing Math In Bonkers Clip
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was called out by California Governor Gavin Newsom after Kennedy attempted to defend President Donald Trump's claims that drug prices have been cut by "600%."
Kennedy appeared before federal lawmakers in a series of hearings, where he pushed back on criticism over measles outbreaks and declining vaccination rates while promoting initiatives he said would make health care more affordable.
He also defended Trump’s proposed 2027 budget, which increases defense spending while cutting more than 12% from the Department of Health and Human Services.
One moment that went viral was the moment Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren pressed him on Trump's mathematically impossible claim he lowered the price of prescription drugs by as much as 600%.
Warren referenced Trump’s announcement of an effort to reduce U.S. drug costs, which includes launching a “TrumpRx” website where consumers can purchase discounted medications and securing a sweeping deal with Pfizer to lower the prices of many of its products.
Warren remarked:
“President Trump and the Republicans slashed health care for millions of families. The president pitched his TrumpRx website as the answer for Americans who are worried about health care costs."
"He claims that TrumpRx has reduced prices by as much as 600%. Six hundred percent, which I think means companies should be paying you to take their drugs.”
To that, Kennedy replied:
“President Trump has a different way of calculating. There’s two ways of calculating percentage. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."
You can watch what happened in the video below.
That is absolutely wrong because there aren't multiple ways to calculate percentages despite how Kennedy framed it. For example, cutting the price of a $600 drug to $10 is roughly a 98% decrease. By contrast, a “600% decrease” would imply a price of negative $3,000—meaning the seller would actually be paying the buyer, which makes no practical sense.
Newsom summed it pretty succinctly after a clip of Kennedy's remarks went viral on social media:
"'A different way of calculating percentages' Also known as …. wrong."
You can see his post below.
Others also called Kennedy out.
The Trump administration is mathematically challenged.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was widely mocked several months ago after she repeated Trump's impossible claims that he got pharmaceutical companies to lower their drug prices by more than 100%, saying they are "going to be lowered by “200, 300, 100%.”
Even if Trump’s policy, which is dependent on cooperation from reluctant pharmaceutical companies and speculative future regulatory moves, were to result in a sharp drop in drug prices, it’s mathematically impossible to cut prices by 500% to 1,500%.
Once again, even if every drug were somehow made free, that would represent a 100% reduction. Anything beyond that would mean Americans were being paid to take their medications rather than purchasing them.
Nikki Glaser Reveals The Hilarious Gift Leonardo DiCaprio Sent Her After She Roasted Him At The Golden Globes
During an appearance on The Tonight Show, comedian Nikki Glaser offered a long-awaited update on the aftermath of her Golden Globes roast—specifically, how Leonardo DiCaprio responded.
For those who don’t remember, Glaser pulled out a surprisingly deep cut, joking that the only real insight into DiCaprio’s personal life comes from a 1991 Teen Beat article.
Glaser revealed Leonardo DiCaprio’s most unexpected fun fact:
"Is your favorite food still 'pasta, pasta, and more pasta'? Look it up. That’s real."
Glaser said DiCaprio was a good sport in the moment, laughing and mouthing “Yes!” as the joke landed. But the real punchline came later. Fast forward to her conversation with Jimmy Fallon, where she reflected on hosting the January awards show for the second year in a row, and talked about what happens after the cameras stop rolling.
Glaser explained her post-roast ritual:
"After I do it, I always send flowers to everyone that I made fun of that was a good sport about it, which was everyone, just to say thank you because it is a part of why I'm successful at it."
It’s a surprisingly thoughtful move, and in this case, one that didn’t go unanswered. Glaser revealed that DiCaprio was the only celebrity who responded to the gesture, and he did so in a way that fully committed to the bit.
She told Fallon:
"And it really was real, and then he sent me three baskets of pasta as a thank you. So funny. So good. And part me of was like 'Does Leo want to smash?' "
Yes, actual pasta. Three baskets of it. Method gifting, if you will.
Of course, Glaser didn’t stop at carbs during her monologue. She also leaned into DiCaprio’s long-running dating discourse, a topic that has followed the actor for years.
Glaser explained why DiCaprio remains an easy target:
"That joke's been going on longer than, you know, his current girlfriend has been alive. It's truly been around forever. There was nothing else to say about him. And then I was like, 'Well, that's kind of funny,' so I was like, 'This guy doesn't reveal anything about himself. Let's find something he's revealed.' "
DiCaprio, 51, has long been associated with dating younger women, a pattern that’s become as much a part of his public image as his film career. He’s currently linked to model Vittoria Ceretti, 27, a shift from his widely discussed habit of dating women under 25.
Past relationships include Gisele Bündchen, Bella Hadid, Bar Refaeli, and Camila Morrone, many of whom were in their late teens or early 20s when those relationships began.
Despite years of commentary, DiCaprio has rarely engaged with the narrative. He tends to keep his personal life tightly controlled, allowing the speculation to circulate without much acknowledgment.
Glaser, on the other hand, is happy to keep the joke alive:
"He dates young girls. I can't stop."
You can catch the clip here:
January’s Golden Globes marked Glaser’s second time hosting the ceremony, and she’s already confirmed to return in 2027. When the announcement was made in March, she kept the tone exactly where audiences expect it.
She joked about her Golden Globes return:
"I'm thrilled to host the Golden Globes for a third time, not only because it's the greatest gig I've ever had, but because my sister has three kids and now we will be equal in the eyes of my parents and the Lord."
The DiCaprio moment quickly took on a life of its own online. Social media called the pasta baskets the “only acceptable response” to that level of specificity, while others joked that Glaser may have accidentally introduced a new celebrity etiquette where punchlines are answered with themed gift baskets.
You can view the reactions below:










DiCaprio wasn’t the only one in Glaser’s crosshairs.
Her 10-minute opening monologue covered a wide stretch of Hollywood, taking aim at everything from George Clooney’s Nespresso ads to Timothée Chalamet’s brief ping pong era and Kevin Hart’s height. The tone stayed sharp but self-aware, never fully tipping into mean-spirited territory.
Ahead of the ceremony, Glaser admitted that DiCaprio might be her toughest subject, given how thoroughly his dating life has already been dissected.
She told People about balancing respect with comedy:
"That's going to be the challenge this year, is just finding anything else about him that is right for mockery, but not mockery. Also, he's a legend and was incredible in 'One Battle [After Another].'"
"So that's also the other thing—as long as I really like these people and respect what they do, I can get away with saying something negative."
That same energy carries into Good Girl, her new Hulu special debuting April 24, where Glaser turns the jokes inward and proves she’s just as sharp when she’s the target.

Houston Cop Relieved Of Duty After Video Of Her Truly Vile Rant About Black People Surfaces
A Houston police officer has been forced to turn in her weapon and badge after posting a racist rant on Instagram.
Officer Ashely Gonzalez posted a profanity and slur-filled video in which she used the N-word several times to complain about Black people in the community she serves.
In the video, which was said to have been screen-grabbed by an acquaintance of Gonzalez's, she also described using racial slurs against people in custody and feeling no remorse about it.
Be warned that the video, posted below, is incredibly offensive and contains multiple slurs and derogatory terms for Black people.
The video is shocking not just for its language, but also for the fact that Houston is one of the Blackest cities in the nation, with roughly 25% of its citizens being Black Americans.
Given that, Gonzalez's vitriol is all the more startling. The video begins with her saying:
"I f**king hate [n-word]. I f**king hate chimps.”
She then goes on to explain how good it feels to say it out loud.
“Y’all don’t know how good it felt to say [n-word] out loud... I felt like I was back in the Marine Corps."
She then described an incident of racial harassment, presumably while on the job.
"I grabbed that [n-word] by the neck and I was like, ‘Come here you f**king [n-word],’ and oh, my God, I felt like the world just stopped. It was just peace.”
- YouTubeyoutu.be
Understandably, the video has caused outrage throughout Houston.
The leader of its chapter of the NAACP, Bishop James Dixon, told local news outlet KHOU:
“That is a sick mindset and is violence waiting to happen."
He added that he believes Gonzalez's views are not the majority among police officers.
"Most people in law enforcement don’t represent this ideology.”
The Houston Police Officers’ Union agreed, telling Fox 26:
“In no way does the HPOU or its leadership condone or tolerate racist behavior from any of our officers.”
Gonzalez was forced to turn in her weapon and badge, and Houston PD officials told KHOU she will be checked on regularly to ensure she remains at home during the department's investigation.
On social media, people were rightfully shocked and outraged by Gonzalez's horrific rant.
Gonzalez joined the Houston police force in 2024 following four years in the Marines.
She has not yet been fired, pending an investigation by the police department, after which she will either be given her job back or be fired and unable to ever work for the Houston Police Department again.
Mariah Carey Has Iconically Unbothered Reaction After She's Snubbed By Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame For Third Year In A Row
The 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled for November 14 in Los Angeles, California. Each year, a new batch of inductees are announced, and each year fans ask why their favorite artist didn't make it or why another artist did.
Seventeen individuals and groups were on this year's list of nominees.
According to the Hall of Fame, artists whose first commercial album was released a minimum of 25 years before are eligible to be nominated for induction by a specialized committee. The nominees are then voted on by a group of over 1,200 music industry experts based on musical influence, innovation, and career legacy, with fan votes collectively contributing one ballot.
Each year, the top five to eight highest vote getters are inducted into the Hall of Fame, which is located in Cleveland, Ohio.
This year's inductees are: Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Sade, Wu-Tang Clan, and Luther Vandross. Nominees that didn't make the cut this year are: The Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, Mariah Carey, Melissa Etheridge, Lauryn Hill, INXS, P!nk, Shakira, and fan vote winner New Edition.
Because of the process, some nominees may be passed over more than once.
TMZ caught up with Mariah Carey to ask about her third time making the ballot as well as her third snub after people considered her a lock for induction.
Hell of a lineup! Jeff Buckley, Mariah, Lauryn, Sade, and Luther are all first-ballot for me. And probably JD/NO.

Phil Collins, Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill, INXS, Iron Maiden, Luther Vandross and Shakira are some the 2026 nominees for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a wide net that includes rap, metal, R&B, hip-hop, Britpop, blues rock and pop.

Carey still holds the record—ahead of Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Madonna—for most number one songs by a female solo artist at 19.
Swift and Rihanna aren't eligible for induction until 2031. Madonna was inducted in 2008, her first year of eligibility.
On Monday, in what appeared to be New York where Carey has put her home on the market for $27 million, a TMZ reporter asked if she cared about being passed over.
The diva known for her five-octave vocal range simply replied:
"No."
You can see the exchange here:
When the TMZ reporter asked for more, Carey responded:
"Yeah, who cares? Give it to somebody else. Fantastic!"
Responding to a question about her 2026 holiday plans, Carey replied:
"Soon ... Christmas is going on, yes."
Carey, dubbed the "Queen of Christmas," became synonymous with the season because of her song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" being a seasonal staple since it was released in 1994.
People had thoughts on the third snub.
Everyone else is worthy but i'm sorry Billy Idol getting in the HOF is absolutely ridiculous. And is especially egregious when he got in over Mariah Carey!variety.com/2026/music/n... Shoutout to Wu-Tang
