RFKJ's first answer were his true feelings about abortion. The second one was nothing more than damage control.
I think I will vote for him this time instead of Trump. There is just too much drama with Trump and
RFKjr was spot on with the Covid vax con.
@@mananimal3644 What makes you think I care about who you vote for.
@@mananimal3644 Voting for RFK helps Trump.
@@mananimal3644 Piss away your vote however you want. At least you're not voting for Joe this time...
TheGeeman,
You claim you don’t care what people think and yet you commented and answered back.😂
I almost liked Kennedy until he said that. Never voting for someone who believes late term abortion is OK.
He literally said it’s NOT ok but that it’s not for the government to legislate when a woman may end her pregnancy.
We’ve seen what happens in states that banned abortion. Even women who miscarried or had a non viable pregnancy were forced to continue to carry it. And women who miscarried were accused of murder and had to prove they didn’t miscarry on purpose. That’s exactly the problem with putting pregnancy under the jurisdiction of the state.
Like Trump?
Same, God almighty, a full term baby, and they select murder, I can't with this country 😢
@@oddfielderNot true so zip
I’ve heard him talk about it before and he does not condone abortions up to nine months.
Thanks Sage for pressing for clarity! Excellent job.
A full-term baby can be delivered by c-section instead of being killed.
That's how it is done. If the baby dies it cannot be born vaginally. Otherwise it's adoption.
It's just ghoulish. Can't we have some standards? This doesn't seem difficult.
He's supported by MLK's daughter who is pro-life, so maybe this is a hit piece?
You need to listen to his full comments. "Every abortion is a tragedy." He said we should do everything to help a woman bring a baby...and full-term abortions are very rare with "extenuating circumstances".
Wouldn't matter what he believes about abortion; a President will not be able to overturn the Supreme Court's pushing it back to the states.
The Dobbs decision places the abortion issue with the states, does it not? We can now let the the state legislatures and their governors deal with it. Abortion is now about as relevant to the presidential campaign as is the number of chickens I'm allowed to house in my back yard.
That's 98% true, but it isn't going stop people from using it as a reason to cast their presidential vote. It's easier for them than to rethink their political views.
Chickens? I raise worms, myself.
The Democrats are trying to take it back away from the states and make it a federal law to give women the right to an abortion up to birth all across the country. They are not satisfied that late term abortions are only allowed in some states and not others.
I really like RFK and would vote for him. But he’s continuously not trained for media and doesn’t give clear answers. That can be corrected.
It's deliberate. No clear answers means he can play all sides. Typical slimey politician.
He expects people to critically think. He's supported by MLK's daughter who is Pro-life.
He obviously doesn't think of preborn babies as real people..
Yet his mother had lots of children. Apparently she is suppose to be a good Catholic. Guess he doesn’t have her religion. He has no conscience to approve/allow murder of babies. I didn’t believe him when he fought to get his convicted cousin out of jail for the murder of a 15 year old girl who was in his cousin’s circle of friends. All the evidence showed he murdered her back in the mid 1970s. Now he is free thanks to that asshole Kennedy. The rich get away with almost everything. No more Kennedys. Thank God his horrible disgusting uncle Ted is finally in hell for murdering the young woman who was helping his run his campaign for president at the time, by letting her drown when he drove his car off the bridge. He got away with it too.
Please help me understand how people don't know this. It is horrific.
You tell yourself, it's just cells....
@@user-ly1bi3qi3pYou’re literally just cells
@@user-ly1bi3qi3p at 8 or nine months when there's movement, definition, etc?
He also said that the government should pay (or someone should) for all women who are having abortions because they can't afford to have their baby. Isn't that socialism to the max? Can I get a reimbursement for the children I've already raised and spent money on?
He must have gotten backlash for such a horrible opinion, but what he said first time around is his real opinion.
Exactly. Not buying it.
He's a politician.
What’s RFK’s position on aborting worms while they are still in the body ?
You'd have to ask the worm.
" When someone tells You who they are believe them the First Time '
The guy is either disingenuous or incredibly ignorant.
He's been a lifelong Democrat. What do we expect?
Incredibly ignorant. He really thought women never do late term abortions because they just feel like it. Ignorantly optimistic I'd say.
Have you listened to his running maté’s announcement speech? I dont know why more ppl aren’t talking about what a lack in judgment it shows that RFK picked her.
@@agwarden Just the opposite. He couldn't imagine that. He has pro-life support from MLK's daughter.
I think the worm ate too much of his brain!!! 😮
"Every abortion is a tragedy," suggesting there is a moral component to the issue. But apparently not, since he said outright he doesn't believe in limits. Utterly incoherent.
He's supported by MLK's daughter AS King who is pro-life activist. Media hates RFK so they twist everything. Look for the facts
That was the worm talking.
😂😂😂
The worm turneth. 🐛
I love how his VP choice was looking off to the side and couldn't look Sage in the eye as she was answering. Liar!
Exposed!
He's a Kennedy. The Kennedy legacy of truth died with Bobby Kennedy. Certainly Teddy didnt even know how to spell the word.
You haven't heard him yourself. He's exactly like his dad, but for this ttime.
I’m familiar with the problem RFK Jr. - actually it’s cysticerosis which is more common especially in So. America - was dealing with. It was misdiagnosed initially. His doctors thought it was possibly a tumor . It seldom has any longterm effects , but as this is politically oriented maybe “ affects “ would be a better term. It does NOT eat part of one’s brain, if indeed that’s where the infection was. neurocysticicercosis is not a rarity on a global scale , even in the USA approximately 4000 people a year are diagnosed with the condition,and many are asymptomatic. Full disclosure, I support RFK II. With that said. The way Bobby reported his medical history could not have been worse . Why in hell he would claim “ A worm ate part of my brain “ That just opened up a “ Can of worms “ to be misconstrued by 99% of the voting public . On topic. I too don’t understand how Nicole, and Bobby could not have been in sync in respect to abortion guidelines. He should have given a much more nuanced answer to Sage’s question. It would be easy enough to explain conditions wherein late term abortions would be appropriate eg. Death of mother or child, severe birth defects that would endanger the child’s life , incest,rape. Megyn your panel are hacks taking cheap shots at someone they obviously don’t support ,and know nothing about medical conditions. I agree with Megyn about what appeared to be a lack of communication between Bobby, and Nicole. Sage Steel is great ! She was not one of these “ I gotcha “ faux journalists. She asked questions that any thinking person would consider relevant. Kudos to Sage , Megyn please have Bobby as a guest again, and hold his feet to the fire . If he’s going to get my vote, he’s going to have to earn it .
I work in birth and found her question perplexing. I know exactly where he stands.There is technically no late term abortion, that was Sage's lack of information.
shame on you for showing such and awful px of RFK jr, on the preview.
Oh, Megyn. Pls do better than these 4 idiots, if the point is to have better conversations than the mainstream media.
Fetus means offspring or baby.
Full-term abortion and "cognitive problems"? Gee, where have I heard that before?😅
Do not believe anything he says
But you believe trump? 😅
Please look at his recent views on this! He understands this is an emotionally charged, very complex issue and offers solutions none of the other candidates do.
RFK JR is obviously the only living brain donor.
Abortion is nowhere near the top of the priority list for most Americans. This issue is brought up every few years to keep us divided. At the end of the day do we want the government telling us what to do with our bodies? Do you all support vaccine mandates too? Both parties are disingenuous when they cry about bodily autonomy. They really only care about it, when it aligns with their parties agenda.
To admit being wrong for a politician is respectful. Not too common if ever!
Next we`ll learn his gardner was eaten by canniballs and he shot his dog. These people are there own worst enemy.
Unfortunately, neurocysticercosis can be acquired by eating undercooked pork. Eating on the street and not deworming every 6 months can also be a risk factor. So it may be more common than we think.
,
And never the thought that the "Man" should also "Take Responsibility" for the newly conceived "Child" from "Conception" onwards....
It's her body (she says) . Men have no rights anymore.
I like Kennedy a lot
The problem with banning 8 month abortions is sometimes the fetus is dead, and a danger to the mother and while technically an abortion no 'baby' dies from saving the mother's life. Viability must be a factor in this decision, a decision the parents make not the government or some busy body.
No deceased baby has ever posed a risk to the mother.
@@Cookie-pl9bnYou couldn’t be more wrong. A deceased fetus is indeed a risk and needs to be removed ASAP. States TJ at banned abortions made it so doctors are afraid to take on such procedures. And women with dead fetuses had to travel out of state to have them removed.
@@oddfielder That’s ridiculous. No doctor is afraid to remove a dead fetus. It’s the viable babies that they have a conscience not to kill.
Which states are you accusing?
@@dalet9207 Texas!
Focus should be on repairing a broken society where people would actually want to have kids and raise a family in.
This is why Russia is thriving.
That is his position if people actually looked into him. RFK has Pro-life support from MLK's daughter.
Neither of the other candidates care one way or another, and say what they think people want to hear... his was the only thoughtful response, giving medical freedom to the mother.
This reminds me of the McCain/Palin ticket back in the day. These two were running a campaign and constantly contradicting each other in interviews. It was hilariously pathetic!
Wow! I think he really meant that no mother wants to abort their unborn baby. Therefore, if it gets to that the mother has a reason for making this difficult decision and should be left to make it even till late term
He did meant that. And since then, he has been shown statistics of purely elective late term abortions. RFK posted his adjusted views on X given this new information to him, very eloquently and thoughtfully, but this panel chose to ignore it so they could talk nonsense geared to the lowest common denominator viewer.
RFK has the most thoughtful position on abortion. Trump was Pro Choice until 2015 & to win the evangelical right has made a sudden turn. I prefer a candidate with an open heart to the issue than someone who politicizes it for votes.
There's nothing thoughtful about unnecessary late term abortion.
@@AXRYXN that is not what he said & not his position
No. You don't get to walk back such definitive statements of evil. Nope.
People do get to change their minds. You may not accept. Others may not accept it. Thankfully, there are fair minded people our here too.
Genius is only available to those who learn new information and change their minds. How many attempts to invent the light bulb. RFK couldn't fathom women "aborting" late term. It's not a thing in the medical community
Is that RFK J. VP supposed to be potential president of the US. God help us.
Megyn, you are so great and "we" really like your reports on Our TRUMP. Thanks
RFK Jr
Do not want Kennedy for president he is nuts
Yes, if you listen to these people. He has pro-life support from MLK'S daughter.
Under that statement nobody should be in prison for drug abuse or possession!! Can't have it both ways
So many false accusations WOW
im 41 and ive never heard these full term abortion doctor stories. i always assumed if sucg things happened it was a medical exception for the protection of the mother.
Correct. Not a medical procedure! It is only in rare cases.
Best man for the job.
Robert Kennedy
How about a "Ban" on televised interviews when the Host and Guest are not wearing Footwear ???
I'd vote for that "Ban"
LOL
Bobby "Children's Health Defence" Kennedy
Megyn is very disingenuous and incredibly biased. I've been watching less and less.
We've got a real problem in this culture where we are not raised with a serious understanding of the implications of what the sex act is. It is intended for procreation. If it were not for contraception that would be its only purpose. But unfortunately, we've changed it to be this amazing thing we're supposed use it to bond with a person we love. There's the animalistic instinct to reproduce, and it's a painful thing, because giving into that instinct when you are not prepared to accept the consequences is dire. It means either caring for a new person or killing him or her. The simplest solution is not to have sex unless you are willing to accept the consequences of conceiving a child as a result.
The guy is a kook. He came out anti-vax, so he collected a lot of fanboys, but that's just one issue, folks.
Exactly. Even nuts can be right here and there. RFK is lost in left field on virtually everything.
Yes. Definitely a kook. Running on the name kennedy
Didn't he want climate change deniers criminalised?
You people sound like a bunch of sheep reciting mainstream propaganda about Kennedy. You'll get the leader you deserve and it won't be pretty. Desperate times call for desperate measures. It's time to get rid of the duopoly. Kennedy 2024
RFK, just answer this question- “ it’s OK to kill a baby in the womb when….?
How would you kill it ?
The reason why rfk supported late term abortion is because he thought no one was getting them. When people showed him studies that he was wrong he changed his opinion. People who say his first response is his actual opinion don’t realize that this man can be persuaded to alter his opinion when shown facts. Something neither of the others can do
People of the show -- I'd be concerned that RUclips has put a community note type note on this video. As a user I have no way of getting rid of that. I'm completely pro-abortion but I think it's completely not ok to have RUclips stick an editorial note on this video.
"Even up to full term.."
Thats it fella, you cannot walk back that position, gtfo.
Good bit
RFK jr wouldn't be a candidate if it wasn't for the vaccine issue.
Typical politician, flopping when it's politically convenient, of course he knows about the issue, he's a Kennedy, absurd that he wouldn't understand the issue.
As far as I can remember Kennedy’s initial view on abortion was that it should not be performed after 3 months. (Which probably is the most sensible answer) I dunno who or what convinced him to flip on the matter.
He misunderstood her I'm sure because it's not even a medical term or procedure. It's crisis talk
Wait a minute. He called the baby a pronoun we’re not allowed to use?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because it hurt him in the polls.
He's still a raging leftist.
He took Ivm for the worm because the worm is/was real…
WOW
I wanted to love Sage’s podcast….but I can’t deal after RFK Jr and Shanahan. Hard pass.
Hang in there Mr K. Don't drop out.
I like RFK Jr...but this is a snapshot of what he is. At heart, he is a liberal. And he will flip flop on a plethora of issues.
RFK JR 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I like RFK but I think he is not an honest person. He always backtracks when he feels an issue is not going to be favourable to him politically. He's a progressive and no one should be fooled by him.
Has Megan ever regretted something she has said in the past? Haven’t we all? We have all had slips of the tongue. I am sure he had a slip there and willing to forgive that interview response, just like I have been forgiven by my Heavenly Father for my many slips of my tongue. Let he/her without sin cast the first stone! Shame on you for casting judgement Megan.
He has done more form our country that both presidents. I trust Kennedy’s moral stance on issues. He is thoughtful and dedicating to healing chronic illness, corporate control over our agencies, ending Citizens United m…the list goes on and on. He has already proven himself. Kennedy IS the Remedy!!! 👍🏻🙏🏻💜🌈
Yeah, no, I'm against abortion if the child is viable. It should *only* happen if it's a medical emergency.
Believe me late term abortion is not a medical term or procedure by ethical practitoners.
Honestly, RFK proves again that he is just a very poor candidate.
Probably. The best political candidates these days are corrupt and liars.
There are no better choices. Forget zombie Biden and Trump is bought. He is Mr. fast track and still thinks the shot is safe and effective. 🤣
@@luraluz, MAGA !!
REVERSE!!!
Did you also screech this when Trump back peddled on abortion?
RFK has opposed oil and gas, hydro and nuclear power - he would leave Americans to freeze in the dark. He’s a political dilettante who has spent a lifetime attacking American food, energy and pharmaceutical drug producers. He’s awful.
I agree with him, eff big ag and big pharma. They don't care about you or your health. He has modified his stance on energy and stated that american energy independence is important. Who do you think would make a better prez? We are in short supply of decent candidates. He is by far the most anti-swamp.
Did RFK Jr walk back the journal entries he made documenting over three dozen episodes of infidelity which might have led his second wife to suicide?
A vp doesn’t sit like that in an interview
Yes. Unserious candidate, unserious campaign.
So should she take lessons from Kamala? I don't care how she sits, I care how she thinks.
I can't listen to his evil voice.
SAGE STEELE needs to sit properly. She is not a teenager
I'm not crazy about her set. It looks a bit juvenile.
He sounds like Margaret Sanger
I lost all respect for Sage, banging her drum, and now for Megyn bad mouthing and being cruel and divisive.
RFK is the only candidate who is working towards fewer abortions and more support for women who want to have their babies. Angela Stanton King, MLK's daughter, a pro-life activist supports RFK, it's on video if anyone cares.
Y'all stop with the Brain worm jokes eating the abortion file... 🤣 I can't breath! You gotta stop! 🤣
You can eat something with a worm😂
There are cases where something goes wrong late term and the baby cant survive if born. RFK thinking this is the only reason women have late term abortion is super ignorant and naive.
RFK has posted on X that he was wrong. He said he listened to people who came up to him after his bodily autonomy comment and was apparently shown data about elective late term abortions of viable babies.
It’s not the only reason but it’s a thing to consider when writing law. That’s why it’s best to err on the side of liberty than tyranny. He doesn’t trust the government with this decision.
Very rare and not called LATE TERM ABORTION. Not ethical, adoption is recommended
even more disgusting than having the wrong moral position on life and death matter......is to then switcheroo on it for damage control later. Disgusting fellow.
This is why politicians never correct their stances on issues, even when they come to realize they are incorrect, because they will be attacked, called disgusting and more names.
With no deference to the subject at hand, it’s nice to see a potential VP make clarifications to her Presidential running mate. To me this should have been a closed door discussion, but it also shows a willingness to express her opinions, and ideas which could possibly sway minds, and be obtainable. She spoke up, gave her understanding, even if it was not exactly mutually shared, and you knew it would be immediately addressed. No giving cover, no back peddling no shiny object to distract, Nobody knows everything, sometimes not even partially correct on anything. A VP to me is that sounding board that doesn’t agree with everything but responds or debates in a coherent fact driven rebound of ideas and opinion. Needs more political savvy ? Probably to some but I’d rather have that type of VP interaction than a line of follow the leader typical political cover your ass BS.
Never trusted him, he's said a lot of questionable things.
Deceased President, Mr. John F. Kennedy and his lovely, great brother deceased Mr. Robert Kennedy will always live in our memories as lovely, great humans. Orhan Baki, a fan by great, lovely Kennedy family and by our great, lovely President, Mr. Donald Trump. Almighty, Lovely God may bless, save, keep, support, help, love our great, lovely President, Mr. Donald Trump, his lovely wife, Mrs. Melania Trump, his great, lovely children and the great country USA. Orhan Baki, a supporter by former and I hope next coming President, Mr. Donald Trump, from Şenlikköy- Florya/Istanbul- Türkiye.
This video sounds like a bunch of school children. RFK Jr. isn't perfect and makes mistakes, but he's leagues above Trump and Biden.
Usually when he changes his mind on a big issue, he takes his time explaining his thinking like on Ukraine. Strange
He explained on X. He's supported by pro-lifer AG King
This is a very disrespectful interview. Men shouldn't be making decisions for a female body and neither should the state. If the roles were reversed we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
Ignorant comment
That is not RFK's position on abortion. I am sure about that. Look at him. The man is absolutely exhausted. It's his fault for saying it, of course. But the man is solid as a rock. He just misspoke because of exhaustion. He doesn't like the idea of abortions but he supports a woman's right to decide. He got himself confused and he misspoke. There was a time when a reporter would table that question when something like this happens and not put it over the airwaves. But nowadays that's not the case. I promise you, anyone who is willing to dig for it could find many examples of the most respected, moral and loved people the world has ever known committing gaffes like this. You can turn it into a very damaging thing by showing it to people or in a case like this where that reporter knows better, she could simply speak to him after the show or something to clarify. She opted to damage him with it. She should do a video/phone hookup with him to clear this up.
She used an inappropriate term to get a rise, banging her drum.
This seems very impartial haha. Ummmmm why not give people the benefit of the doubt he actually learned?
Always..Love your show Megyn! Tonight was hilarious 😂
The only Kennedy I like is Sen John Kennedy from Louisiana... and I was disappointed with him funding Ukraine.. SMH
We desperately need TRUMP 🇺🇸
Barry and Joe For GITMO 2024🇺🇸 MAGA
Honestly i was for fullterm because i didnt realize that women had abortions late term just because. Yes i should have been more informed but i can appreciate a candidate changing his mine based on facts. I would rather have that then someone who thinks they are always right like trump
It's not common, and adoption is always suggested. Surrogates make money, right?
Thank you for caring about babies and animals Megyn Kelly. Unlike that psychopath Michael Knowles.
It’s amazing how many people can’t think both things are allowed to be bad.
Knowles simply understands that human life is the more valuable of the two.
