  • Who is this reporter? He was incredibly combative. He kept interrupting and overall just being obnoxious.
  • @Abomination317
    Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is our best chance to break the 2 party system!
  • RFK Jr is the best presidential candidate of my lifetime. Don’t believe the smears from the main stream media. They are ignoring him but he has a huge support system and he has more integrity, wisdom and honesty in his little finger than either of the other two candidates💜
  • @Sadie0123
    The interviewer is so rude. It just shows what a great person RFK is that he maintained his integrity throughout, talking to a not too bright interviewer.
  • This Time: Vote FOR the TRUE Independent REFORM Candidate… REMEMBER In November…! Vote RFK, ALL The WAY…!!!
  • @arcocarib
    RFK the only real choice of hope for America.
  • @Rachel_1177
    Robert Kennedy never gets shaken by interviewers that interrupt. He is respectful but doesn't let himself get railroaded.
  • @JohnWilmerding
    As a Democrat, I worked for his father's campaign in Nebraska. I'm not worried about RFKJr taking votes from Trump.
  • @LenaWikberg
    I as a Swede want to vote for this ”brain”…. But i cant 😌This is the truth all over the world! Americans, you have to take the lead, we will follow… The people have the power and YOU are MANY compere to Sweden….GET IT DONE!!! We will follow the truth..,💚 Trust the nordic people of the north of our globe …..
  • @samgarcia3807
    Robert Kennedy is earning the vote of the people with a campaign run with character and integrity
  • @avachilds1502
    This interviewer is sour, but Robert F. Kennedy Jr. displays such integrity and honesty he’s clearly a great leader. #policyoverparty
  • @Amyls64
    RFK is the not only the smartest candidate he is the wisest candidate and he is the most innovative candidate. Hes certainly the best looking candidate and the healthiest candidate
  • @TOMReefer
    He is so the man who should be president. I’m sad for our country.

    I'm a supporter of RFK Jr. In random order, here's some of my reasons for supporting RFK Jr... -genuinely wants to heal the 'culture war' divide in our country, and he has the ability to, being liked by many different 'types' of people from across the spectrum of issues and ideas, who are tired of the 2-party duopoly -has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself (not a DNC/RNC puppet) -incorruptible, cannot be bought or bullied -thoughtful and introspective, deeply considers problems and possible solutions -vocal about the corruption of 'Citizens United' and the power of the big private money controlling government -vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (Pharma, banks, oil, big AG, military industrial complex) -wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and to pull back on and expose the corruption within the military industrial complex -wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine war via negotiations with Putin, rather than perpetuating the escalation (which could truly lead to the most dire outcome imaginable) -wants to bring the military budget back to 'Eisenhower minimum' and to instead invest that money in making us strong at home and in correcting our outrageous debt and growing inflation -dedicated to rebuilding the Middle Class in our country -dedicated to creating our country as a moral exemplar and economic force in the world, rather than as a militaristic bully -vocal about the dishonesty and agendas of commercial media -wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television (this has major influence on the 'news' narratives) -wants to keep the pharmaceutical industry honest with safety testing, transparency, etc -wants to get rid of government assist crony capitalism and subsidies for big ag, oil, etc -advocate for civil liberties -vocally against censorship (will pardon Snowden and Assange on 'day 1') -against mandates and police state-like policies -classical liberal sensibilities with respect of others (without the 'woke' or fake identity politics) -vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping -would put the federal budget on blockchain to be fully transparent for all citizens -passionate about environmental and ecological concerns -passionate about investing in regenerative farming practice -passionate about cleaning our food supply and exposing the unhealthy ingredients in processed 'foods' -wants to bring preventative health more into public discourse; nutrition, exercise, etc -will immediately close the border (this is not some republican scare issue, it is a very major issue – for many reasons) -will send the necessary Asylum Judges to the border to expedite the process for legal migrants -has an excellent plan to make homes affordable for all, including a program that backs mortgages at 3% and a tax structure to keep Black Rock from continuing to buy everyone out (this also will bring rent costs down dramatically) -due to his family/background, he's well-learned from the inside of the various power structures -due to his decades as an attorney successfully taking on major corporations, as well as government regulatory corruption, he is exceptionally well-suited for taking on the myriad of corrupt corporate capture over our government *I wrote the list above many months before Oct 7, 2023. I should add, especially directed towards my brothers and sisters of the populist 'left' and populist 'right', 'progressives', 'libertarians', and people who are just antiwar, in general... -RFK Jr. is in support of Israel (as am I). However, this in no way means he isn't also in support of helping the innocent people within Gaza. RFK Jr. has always been very aware of the conditions for the people within Gaza, and is especially aware of, and feels deep heartache for, the Hell they are living in now. He is a person who, as President, would do all he could to help seek lasting peace and prosperity for all in the region -although RFK Jr. is a supporter of Israel, he is not a fan of Netanyahu, and has said repeatedly that he would not be writing him a blank check with American dollars to do with as he wishes -there is no one who would fight harder or more tirelessly to reach out to everyone involved, as well as to leaders outside of the region, to try to negotiate and implement a sustainable peaceful solution for both the Israelis and the Palestinians. RFK Jr. would bring many ideas and a commitment to approaching the problem there from several different angles, and involving several other players. In fact, he would have been doing this before Oct. 7. (Simply yelling 'apartheid', 'genocide', etc is not in service of an actual solution – ask Hamas) -and unlike anyone from the 2 major parties who supports Israel, RFK Jr. would never be lead by the corrupt (and disgusting) sheer financial interests of the Military Industrial Complex when it comes to any of America's foreign policy; including with Israel
  • RFK Jr is by Far the Most Honest, Patriotic, Heroic, Intelligent, Compassionate and Competent Person to Be PRESIDENT of WE the PEOPLE of AMERICA! 🙏🏼💪🏼🗽🇺🇸😊
  • @Amyls64
    Why is this interviewer being so cold.
  • @julesgilman4918
    I have such respect for RFK jr! The interviewer is somewhat abrupt and pushy…. Not my cup of tea.
