The Cult of Robert Kennedy, Jr. (Joe Rogan Reaction)

As the son of US Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the nephew of former president John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy Jr. grew up with extreme expectations, as well as a lack of purpose which followed him into his 20s. After a period of drug addiction, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was drawn to environmental activism and environmental legislation, on which he built his reputation as a fighter of environmental justice. He also cultivated an anti-war position due to his resistance to Iraq and typical Russia-Ukraine narratives. At the same time, he incessantly pushes the Democratic Party status quo, waged a nearly two-decade campaign of anti-vax / vaccine disinformation, walked back his positions on universal healthcare, Israel / Palestine, and even the environment as he becomes increasingly captured by a right-wing audience.Show more

He addresses the Cleveland Clinic study on COVID, Kennedy's distortion of VAERS, his shifting positions, support of figures such as David Sacks and Elon Musk, and whether or not Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has a consistent set of positions on which to build some future set of policies.
