- RFK II has a presidential name, but I don't think he'll be finding himself in that position this go around. However, he does have the opportunity to cause some problems for Trump in the process.

I don’t think the people that like RFK Jr give much care for who his family endorses, especially when they support the establishment candidate.
The hate from his family makes people like him MORE!
agree
Any left wingers who might consider him will jump out based on when they hear his family don’t support him. Any right wingers will love him when they hear that hoods family doesn’t super him. Hence, he will hurt Trump more than Biden.
Ok and “establishment candidate” is somehow worse than a man that supports Russia, and denies scientifically proven facts about vaccines including polio, hiv and thinks the black plague was a myth that’s who you want to be president?
@@jonlittle5032 I would rather be seen as crazy instead of rolling over and voting for Biden or Trump. We should not be facing an election with these two. Further, half of RFKs family works directly for the Biden admin. I don’t see them as legitimate in this criticism
Peter, with all due respect, there’s no fucking way you’re an independent
He sounds like my ultra leftwing mom lol. The theoretically "independent" who has never not voted democrat
Nah in the age of Trump of MAGA he is.
@@fbinformant Independent leftist./s
To us independents there’s only one “real” party at the moment. MAGA of course isn’t something we even consider
100% CIA agent
I don't think that Peter has ever listened to RFK talk for longer than a minute, based on this video
I heard him say that Israel is a moral country and he would let them finish the job. I heard him say crazy shit things about vaccines. I’ve heard him dip his towed, every conspiratorial bat shit thing floating around the Internet. I think Kennedy is crazy enough he’ll be taking Trump’s vote
He also continues to display his ignorance in shifting voter demographics. It’s not the same nation as the mid 2000’s nor is it even the same compared to 2020 or even 2016.
He’s not worth listening to anyways
@@garretthayes9392what does he get wrong?
@@Andrew-gr9yt Peace talks with Poetin, Nato expansion and the war in Ukraine. Probably more....but really i don't care.
Peter throws a dart then paints a bullseye around it .
😂😂😂😂🏆🏆🏆🏆
The BEST COMMENT TODAY ! LOL!
Oh I love that
Peter has good analytical skills.
@@frankb1 Yes he does but like so many intellectual people he had a blind spot when it comes to Trump. IMO .
Zeihen really brought out his MSNBC analysis 😂
When it comes to everyday life of the middle class, Peter is an out-of-touch academic elitist. ... He spends too much time in mountains ("head in the clouds") and hotels with room service. He should at least Airbnb on his his speaking gigs.
You don't like what he says so he must be a shill. You don't win elections so it must have been rigged. Typical.
Communist News Network
Independents END UP voting democrat or republican because often times there aren’t other choices and we are stuck voting for who we dislike less.
Trying to say only 10% of the population are independent is a stretch even for Zeihan
I agree that is why I am voting Biden
@@kentuckyfried9499 I was going to vote Biden but then he released his new tax plan.
@@ThinkHarderPlz Bidens tax plan offended you but his 100% complicity with his 2nd genocide didnt?? yeah you are independent !!
Its the same for Democrats and Republicans though. They also have to choose the lesser of two evils. The only president I actually voted FOR was Obama. I think a lot of republicans feel the same about trump. Somehow..they actually find him admirable.
Peter has a remarkable ability to sounds knowledgable on all topics and yet be completely wrong on so many.
He’s the love child of Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley.
Prove that with real statistics. We know you can’t because it’s not true.
@@TheRealTurkFebruary Outstanding!
How is your consulting business doing? Cuz Peter's business is BOOMING!
@@davidmichael8122 ruclips.net/video/uJZcIrBCrqs/видео.htmlsi=ApSCAgyiDRvn-y1d hahahah its pretty damn easy to see if you open a different window
Another example of how over-generalisation leaves you prone to buying into low resolution caricatures as part of your sensemakeing.
Well said, and I'm thinking this might apply to most of what Pete presents.
@@plumbthumbs9584 ditto. All breadth, no depth. Zeihan has to imbibe the mainstream opinion on people like RFK Jr because he doesn't have time to actually bother reading/listening to his 500 page, superbly referenced books that elucidate in excruciating detail his cOnSpiRaCy ThEoRiEs.
Lol, neither of you are stating anything specific 😂
He is good talker, but not mush of a deep thinker.
RFK cherry picks his data. When you are only picking the data that reinforces your previously held position, you are not an unbiased expert. When you are providing a conclusive opinion that contradicts what every mainstream scientific and medical institution says and your only defense when presented with opposing data is “all those studies and organizations are corrupt and mine isn’t,” you’re full of shit.
This is such a mischaracterization of RFKs takes. I used to like Peter but this blatant misinfo about what RFK believes and supports is wild.
agree, he has not done his homework, or is indebted to someone else....
Rfk is Republican backed. Same shit different douche.
This guy should be working at MSNBC!! Anybody who actually listens to RFK would not call him crazy or a conspiracy theorist!! He's anti-war anti corporate welfare and he testing done medication before it goes on the shelves!! The same FDA that told us oxycontin wasn't seriously addictive is who RFK is going after!!
RFK Jr is the best candidate of my lifetime.
@@jeffhaddix9508 Ah, youth. So fleeting, so prized.
@@plumbthumbs9584 I ain't no spring chicken and I've seen a lot of elections come and go and no candidate I've seen has come close to the quality and significance I see in RFK Jr. I thought Bernie was pretty good at the time but he doesn't come close to RFK Jr.
Neville Chamberlain was "anti-war" the last time there was an expansionist fascist in Europe
I've listened to RFK quite a bit, and the more I listen, the more I hear a classic, deluded conspiracy theorist, a very good example of the type. He's well-meaning, and I think he has a good heart. However, he doesn't live in reality. He has poor epistemology. That's a dangerous trait in a leader of the most powerful nation on earth. At least he cares about something other than himself though, unlike Trump!
Peter Zeihan's clients include energy corporations, financial institutions, business associations, agricultural interests, universities, and the U.S. military. Peter literally works for ALL of the same corporate entities that have captured various Federal Bureaus, Divisions and Departments within our Executive Branch of government. It's no wonder he's smearing Kennedy. This video has sealed the deal for me...RFK, Jr. in 2024!
Those bad actors are also his source of information. He's a mouth piece.
Don’t forget to put on your tinfoil hat before venturing into the voting booth!
exactly
@@BackThatSassUp I have 13 years of edu, an eidetic memory, expertise in IT, behavioral science, neuroscience, self-defense, and some experience in personal close protection. I speak 3 languages. I'm voting for RFK Jr. Am I conspiracy theorist too big guy? What's your resume' look like?
Relating RFK to conspiracy is a typical attack to him. Just calling someone like that without giving any context is a bullshit talk.
RFK is one of the most intelligent candidates we have ever had run for the office.
Yeah this rhetoric from Peter is honestly really disappointing.
Looks like Peter buys his sunglasses at the same place as Jesse Plemons.
Yeah, but, what kinda American are you.
Civil War 2024 isn't a movie.
Stay strapped or get clapped
But instead of saying hi to each other they give a slow nod without acknowledging each other…
That movie sucked
@@OtherSideOfTheFence Another catchmeoutsidegirl...
I’d still like to see RFK Jr. in a debate with Biden and Trump.
That would make it painfully obvious that RFK Jr is the far superior candidate.
I would watch that and I have never, ever, watched a presidential debate.
The first president I voted for was the Gipper.
Why? To see RFK Jr confidently spount off misinformation and statistics based on faulty data?
@@plumbthumbs9584 Never watched a debate? and you vote?!
absolute disgrace to democracy, "I vote for who I like, not what they want to do"
no wonder ppl think Joe Biden is a Democrat and not a moderate, THEY DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT HIS VOICE SOUNDS LIKE
@@jeffhaddix9508 or vastly inferior depending on whether you know anything about the subjects he likes to rant about.
You know what can make you a conspiracy theorist who questions the status quo storylines real quick? When your uncle and your father are both powerful politicians who get assassinated in plain view of large crowds of people.
That might do it, but only if one is also an idiot like RFJ Jr. Most people know better. BTW, JFK was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, who acted alone. RJK was killed by Sirhan Sirhan, who acted alone. That's just the way it is.
No shit right? Plus, “the science” has proven so many conspiracies right… at this point calling someone a conspiracy theorist should be like saying they’re clairvoyant or wise
1) There is some truth in almost any conspiracy, except for completely uneducated ones like fake moon landing/flat earth and sht like that.
2) Most smart people know that
3) Most smart people still will deny that in public and support establishment, because they know how hard things can go if that will become public knowledge, and smart people aren't exceptionally good at surviving in a collapsed society.
I think the real question is whether he’s a conspiracy theorist, or if there was a conspiracy…
@@BabaBabelOm yes!...or that they just pay attention and study all the angles.
Did not know I was batshit crazy. Thanks Peter.
Be careful of received opinion, particularly when it is from a biased source.
Just do what any batshit crazy person does : declare victory
It's a mean term. What he means is "intellectually lazy".
Thank the bats
Peter is an egotistical asshole. This is not surprising.
Peter really has a blind spot for domestic American Politics.
Does he really have a blind spot or do you just have a bias driving that opinion?
@@jaybird2148 He probably has as much bias as Zeihan
Pete's calling it exactly how I see it. Trump is cooked. Conservatives have their chance at winning this election but you gotta bet on a winning horse.
@@heynsenene Are you or Peter going to ever actually look at a poll this election cycle?
Exactly. The polls were dispositive in 2020, especially in the battleground states. Biden won 2020 by 50-100K votes in 6 states. The polls this year reflect largely a flip to Trump in the 6 states that matter and until and unless I see otherwise (in Nov) I will expect Trump to win........and I expect to vote for RFK. Peter's opinion requires too much conjecture and not enough evidence.
Stick to international because your take on domestic politics is always way off.
What PZ prediction was way off?
In Sep of 2020 he predicted Biden would win in a landslide. By Trumps own definition of “landslide” Biden won in a landslide.
Seems like Peter touched a nerve with you. Do I smell a conspiracist here?
Check the real clear politics site. No conspiracy required.
For five decades I fought them myself and would have been all self-righteous right with you and Peter. Then a virus was unleashed and I had a first hand view of all the data etc. I now have the skills were I can project them real time.
@@seandelaney1700 🥹
Wow sounds like I'm watching CNN! This is probably the only topic I disagree with him on. I'm an Australian but if I were American I would be voting RFKjr. RFKs relatives work for Biden. Of course they are gonna try discredit him.
Multi billionaires do not work for mere millionaires.
@@FloydThePink correct, multi-billionaires work WITH the power politicians to make even more money.
@@FloydThePinkBiden is compromised, his handlers (and that goes for any democrat) are not millionaires, they are collectively trillionaires.
You really need to watch more interviews with RFK, jr.
I think Peter is grossly miscalculating how badly people dislike the Biden administration, including by those who have previously voted for him. It's those voters that will decide the fate of the election. Amongst the liberals I've spoken to, they're either not voting this election cycle or voting for another candidate.
I agree. Also, he's not touching on the great sorting that's going on. Florida went from Purple to Blood Red in the past decade or so.
Also, independent voters really just vote based on how good things are when they vote. There's far less nuance than people believe in them. Things sucked in 2020 and Trump lost. Things suck now. That's not any better for biden now than it was for Trump then.
With the progressives, you're right. They'll stick their nose up at him. Mainstream liberals? Gaza is not as important as Ukraine or Jan 6 to them.
Indepndents? It's the Senile old pervert in the Blue tie vs the Senile old pervert in the red tie, and the one in the Red tie just argued that he should get to murder the political opposition with impunity... That puts not only the opposition but the apathetic on high alert, because if insufficient praise of the would-be dear leader might get you murdered, you have a strong feeling about that would-be part.
MAGA will do what MAGA will do, but 20% of the GOP has just issued a bunch of protest votes for Nicky Haley who dropped out a month ago.
The only question I have for you is whether you believe the 20% of Democrats who dislike Biden outnumber the 20% of Republicans who dislike Trump... In the swing states... Who cares is some AOC stans in Manhattan protest Biden, if more libs and independents in Pennsylvania and Arizona think Trump is that much worse?
@@justinpaul3110 The Republicans I speak with are satisfied with the Economy
People may not like Biden, and a normal republican candidate would most likely beat him. Shit he probably would have dropped out if Haley won. But Trump is the most beatable republican candidate since Barry Goldwater
@@justinpaul3110 Speaking as an indie voter who knows a lot of indie voters, that does not jive with how we actually vote.
We aren't indie voters because they're swayed by the prevailing winds. We're indie because we're presented with only two options, and neither represents our views well enough to compell us to wear their colors. Our beliefs are as strong as anyone elses, we just don't draw an arbitrary line down the list of issues as to which "my team" is allowed to believe.
Now, I don't know anyone who is *excited* about another Biden term, liberal, indie, or otherwise. But, that was kind of the point the first time around, right? He gave those of us exactly what we wanted: Some sane, rational, adult stability in the executive office after. Sure, his age and his mental faculties *are* a concern, have no doubt... but if the alternative is Trump? Every single liberal and almost every middle-of-the-road indie I know (including myself) would vote for a straight up catatonic Biden over Trump's harebrained, amoral lunacy every single day.
But that's just my experience with the folks *I* know and come into regular contact with. We all seem to live in our own little social/infotainment bubbles these days, and we think our daily experiences reflect what's "really" going on, forgetting there's a wider world outside that bubble that may defy the beliefs we've cultivated. So, I take what I say with a grain of salt, and so should you. :P
Regardless, I just can't believe we're doing this to ourselves again. Biden vs. Trump? AGAIN? Why, America? WHY?
“Bat shit crazy vote” I hope that’s a new political party with a televised convention 🍿🥤

“For more years, pause, for more years” lol
I know!
Daily reminder that Peter said bitcoin was going to zero because there were not enough of them. And he said it with TOTAL conviction.
He actually said that? Last week he gave a completely false take on how the finance sector works as well.
All of that sums up to me to mean, I can vote for RFK Jr with a clear conscience.
Conspiracies happen all the time, you should know that, Peter.
As he said that, I started running down the list in my head, and I don't even follow conspiracies. What a dopey thing for him to have said.
I've heard Kennedy long-form interviewed twice. He is actually reasonably sane and it would not be a bad thing if he won. But we both know what will happen if he starts polling above thirty percent.
Peter saying he's a "true" independent is quite comical.

I think it would be powerful for you to interview RFK Jr. You are missing some big parts about who RFK Jr. Today, RFK Jr. posted on RUclips a video called This is what I believe. It’s six minutes giving a real complete overview.
Thanks, I’ll look up RFK Jr video. Haven’t seen it yet.
In return I highly recommend the Loanly Hipster on RUclips.
(yep it’s spelt Loanly). His Generation X, and other content, really goes into why Kennedy is the President America needs.
RFK Jr is the only candidate that brings substance in the discussions.

@@changingworld7467instead of being all butthurt why don't you lay out your counterarguments if you have any? I don't get my news from those media establishments but reached the same conclusions by myself before I saw this video. The Trump people themselves have been worrying about RFK Jr. for a while now and you are here rubbish these assessments. Go on kiddo!
No one talks about RFK Jr in any sense of him being a real human being. He was an environmental lawyer who sued polluting companies to clean up the Hudson river. He also litigated on behalf of women with autistic children over their concern that vaccines had caused the autism. That was his job as a lawyer. I’m sure he’s seen some things that make him a “conspiracy theorist”, as have I. If there is money, power and/or mischief involved, people do weird ish. Why was Hunter Biden on the board of an energy company in Ukraine? Why did John Bolton and gang work to affect Ecuador’s elections and prop up a Government? Looks like someone keeps taking my comment down… hmmm
His colleague on the environmental world are now calling him a Judas for changing direction on environmental issues.
I won’t even get into the vaccine thing.
I love the first couple lines of this, really the whole thing. well said
Hard hitting coverage today. No one but Peter is brave enough to talk about the Slinky conspiracies 😤🗿🗿🗿
I am already getting real wound up.
RFK jr. is talking about a lot of straight up issues. He's not just a conspiracy theorist.
I have never heard a single person that calls him a conspiracy theorist outright disprove his claims.
He's such a conspiracy theorist that he does just copy paste Russian propaganda points as if they are facts every time he opens his mouth. Its very sad to see so many Americans get misled by such blatant propaganda.
@@garrettd.6215the burden is on the one making the claims.
He's a conspiracy theorist.
He argues no one is really behind Trump. He forgets in 2020 people were voting against Trump not for Biden
Or 2016 when everyone in the media knew that Hilary Clinton was going to win.
And what makes you think people will now opt to go back to Trump? Short term memories? Trump’s court antics shown in the media are most likely having people go “Oh yea, I forgot about what a POS he is.”
@@jaybird2148 Short term memories are exactly why people will flip and remember he only needs to flip 50-100k in 6 states and he is leading in those polls. Nothing is in the bag, but right now people are struggling more with Biden recency than Trump.

@@darachilds6817 Not according to the actual returns in PA. It's a closed primary and over 17% of the registered Republicans voted for Haley and she dropped out a month ago.
What gets me is all these people being quoted as saying they don't support Trump, but will not vote for Biden.
I don't understand this. Wouldn't be better to always vote for the lesser evil?
(Whether the lesser evil is Trump or Biden is irrelevant to my question.)
Give them a few months. If the polls says Biden by a mile, then they'll stay home or vote for "none of the above". If the polls say Trump or "too close to call" then they'll start panicking and vote for Biden.

@@woodys1670 Why would any sane person want 4 more years of the Biden shit show?
I wrote in my cats name in 2016. Couldn't vote for either of those bags of shit. 2020 I voted for Biden and regret it badly. Can't vote for either this election so ill throw my vote to RFK
The Kennedy name no longer has the sway that it once had. Having a third choice is a better thing than having two poor choices. This guy has not listened at all to RFKjr. He is espousing the same crap that the main stream media is saying about conspiracies and RFKjr. If he had listened to the man, he’d learn that RFK is proscienxe and want things to be tested and evaluated. This is a challenge to the pharmaceutical companies who currently are not required to test many of the drugs they produce. It is called corporate capture of the government. I wonder who this guy works for?
Rfk is the only one that isn't possessed by the devil.
I usually agree with most of your videos, but in this instance I think you’re mistaken.
This always happens on his videos. “I usually agree, but not THIS TIME” *proceeds to address literally none of his points*
May I ask why? I'm trying to consume as many different viewpoints as possible prior to the election.
@@Archangelm127 Without a complete reversal of the current economic and fiscal projection, the U.S. is f_____ked.
All the data I've seen and all my personal anecdotal experience tells me that Peter is blatantly incorrect and probably just coping hard-core. RJK Jr is an ultra progressive, libertarian leftist and his vp pick is further left than he is. I don't know any Trump people that really like RFK.. only former democrat leaning independents, especially who were disturbed by the blatant lies of the cdc, fda, and gov corruption with the pharma industry.
@@jackwillbrand2408While I agree the road to victory for Trump is challenging. To say there isn’t one is naïve, especially given what we saw in 2016 and the weakness of Biden. Don’t underestimate Trump.
I admire your conviction but it continues to be extremely early for calling the election.
This is the first election in decades where there is actual polling data on how 100% certain voters would vote on an actual election day for the exact same two candidates, except one of them did an insurrection after the data point.
@@stephenderry9488 no proof of insurrection, that's just one sides desperate attempt at election interference.
No one serious thinks that there was an insurrection. And if you do you were voting for Biden anyway.
But I know two people who didn’t vote in 2016, voted for Biden in 2020 because they couldn’t stand Trump, and are now voting for Trump because of Biden’s handling of Israel. Purely anecdotal of course. But people don’t care about 1/6 as much as they do the country and world burning, and the president being senile.
Especially when we have to wait to see who is still alive to know who we can vote for.
He is not calling an election, but rather providing data points that may provide relevant information in real time.
I will vote for whichever of the three I think is more likely to be "part of the solution" rather than "part of the problem". Looking through that lens, I lean towards RFKJr in spite of some of his opinions. I think he's a genuinely good man.
I don't know if that is a thorough and thought out assessment of him. Also, he has several family members who work for Biden-it wouldn't look good to your boss if you're rootin' against him.
His campaigning is extraordinarily positive, which is such a breath of fresh air. The campaign promises aren't conspiratorial either. With regard to the conspiracy theories, the few I've looked into about him were not as dramatic as reported and most of it huckster reporting. I'd suggest this- take all three candidates and do the utilitarian method: Biden-1. age , 2. involved with corruption in family, 3. horrific exit from mideast 4. folks skeptical of his current mideast plans, 5. can't get prices down for regular Americans . Trump-1.age, 2.look at whatever you want from him but he incited a group to try and disrupt the transfer of power in our democracy-this never happened to our country ever-we all watched this live, without any spin; there's no editing live TV. RFK- 1. positive plan for rebuilding the middle class, 2. passionate environmental conservationist, 3. tighter leash on large corps and govt., 4.views on big pharma are very controversial, 5. Highly intellectual and sophisticated manner discussing controversial medical topics (sometimes disproven) which are used by lesser intelligent folks to spread different and malignant information about medical topics.
Those are my takeaways, which sounds better? Run your own assessment of course and be very honest with yourself in private. Weigh out the pluses and minuses and see who comes out on top.
“There isn’t a road to victory for Trump.” Let’s see how well that statement ages! 😂
Like milk, as always.
Trump has already lost to Biden. As an incumbent. I see no reason to expect Trump win.
Z-man is just trying to make sure you don’t think he is a conservative or populist.
When it comes to everyday life of the middle class, Peter is an out-of-touch academic elitist. ... He spends too much time in mountains ("head in the clouds") and hotels with room service.
Same arguments from 2016 !
Everyone calls RFK a conspiracy theorist without actually listening to him. They just listen to what people say about him. These people are not looking at how many courtcases he wins with research and evidence based facts.
RFK 2024
Exactly 💯 Listen to the man. He is miles above the competition.
The lamestream is gaslighting people. RFK Jr is an exceptional candidate.
Agree.
The Kennedy family is the worst thing about RFK. Knowing his family doesn't support him makes me like him more.

Thanks for weighing in on this finally!
It’s still about the economy. When you can’t feed your family, nothing else matters. I hope you are mistaken.
And you think you'll feed your family better under an Orange Chump admin.????
Deporting the people that pick your crops and work in the food processing plants will for sure lower food costs.

Peter is a liberal through and through. Saying he is independent is pretty hilarious.
@LTVoyager Seriously he's so annoying
Highly doubtful. My read is that he voted for Trump the first time around.
Romney I guess
Its ok dont be triggered michael! Actually youll find that amongst highly educated people such as Peter the majority tend to vote democrat over republican.
You might want to ask yourself why that is, but thats gonna require a lot of introspection;)
Such style!
Did you steal Barbie’s sunglasses, Peter?
His own family disowned him makes me want to vote for him more lol.
My tinfoil hat has served me well. Seems you don’t like them. 😂
they block out the wifi
Good work, now you can get a treat 👌👌
We are used to Peter being a bit misinformed about topics outside of his speciality, but him being misinformed about whether he is an independent or not is just outright funny :)
Keep in mind that Peter often misses the mark. Look at his early predictions of how long Ukraine would last against Russia.
true ..........his apodictic mien and delivery fools many ..hey it's his job $$ ....he';s entertaining if not always correct
oh and how he said we'd face a massive food shortage last year. and how we should all take the vaccine to end the pandemic 🤣🤣🤣 he has a lot of good info but his conclusions are wrong a lot.
@@juliamihasastrology4427 I agree that he provides much useful information, which is why I continue to watch him. However, I take the predictions he makes from that information with a huge grain of salt given how often he is wrong.
To be fair, most people were wrong about Ukraine. They overestimated the competence of the Russians and underestimated the Ukrainian defense. Nearly everyone was wrong about this because we were conditioned, from the cradle, to view the Russians as THE threat to America.
And Bitcoin
what a lame analysis...! i'll make sure to come back and see how ya doing after Trump wins this november.
You do that. Can’t wait. Just like the red wave in the midterms.
Trump will lose inshallah .
Where can I be gettin some of them Goggles Pete ?
4:13 wait... slinkys and jell-o? man i cant even keep up with these new conspiracy theories anymore. my tinfoil hat is on tight though, i should be safe regardless
splitting the bat shit crazy vote
As distinct from the "defend the Ukraine border, defend the Israeli border, ignore the US border, give every child a heart-stopping clotshot for a cold that only killed the old, drag-time story hour for tots, let's Make America Unsafe or Jews, Epstein's clients remaining unindicted" ordinary, standard, sensible, main-stream America? Oh yeah, but those whacky guys on the left, right, or independent, who are ... gasp ... sceptical of elite politicians. Like the entire mainstream left was 10+ years ago.
Trump is the bat shit crazy vote.
🤣
lol
I laughed, i cried
I’m listened to multiple long form interviews with RFKJr. I love you Peter, but I don’t get the sense he’s a crazy/deranged conspiracy theorist. I always trust your thoughts, but I don’t know about that one.
Question is, are there enough free thinking people like yourself left to elect RFK? His candidacy is simply an opportunity for citizens to take action and its going to take a lot of political participation to get RFK in the White House
RFK is a whacko. Peter is right.
problem with conspiracy theorists is they have to be an expert in a multitude of things in order to have a good rate of being correct. the more things one supports the less the chance. trump and rfk push conspiracies because it arouses the emotions of the back part of the problem where discernment and reasoning dont need to be used as much. its entertainment, and they are constantly needing new and more interesting conspiracies, if they connect to the older conspiracies somehow then it can become self validating, but some of the time the newer stuff can be contradicting older conspiracy beliefs.
RFK Jr is by far the best candidate. It's not even close.
@@jeffhaddix9508 agreed! He needs a citizen army of volunteers to talk with Americans to ensure everyone knows he's the best candidate and, more importantly, to know he can win if everyone shows up to vote
Tell me where the Slinky's and Jello hurt you Peter?
In the brain.
Spot on.
How many people have actually done more than one Google search on anything he’s talking about?
Awesome response, friend.
Peter is a Democrat, so if you haven’t read between his lines in all of his content, I recommend watching with a critical eye towards the fact that he is opinionated about every topic under the sun, and just because he doesn’t come out and say it doesn’t mean it’s not true. He makes a lot of his speaking fees in rather conservative venues, so there’s a lot about himself that he censors.
@@BerkeyFilmsas he just said he’s an independent and trump has alienated them so Peter is leaning more left as like most of us don’t want a dictator as project 2025 proposes
@@BerkeyFilms Trump supporters are calling anyone to the left of Genghis Khan a "liberal" or a "Democrat" - I voted for Nixon, Reagan, and both Bushs, Sr and Shrub. Modern Conservatism is like jumping off a cliff, flapping your arms, and crying out that you are really flying.
@@BerkeyFilms Peter skews left and right on different issues. When it comes to business he seems pretty conservative, because (I assume) he makes a lot of his money from larger businesses hiring him. When it comes to social issues I get the feeling he's more liberal, but as you say he's smart enough not to state his own opinions and at least try to seem neutral.
How right he'll turn out to be about anything... /shrug
"Rfk and Trump bad"
-Guy brought to you by the CIA.
Keep coping.
I thought he was working for Mossad
Pete is a liberal, but can’t come out and say it. His income is sourced in speaking fees from historically conservative groups such as farmers cooperatives and the oil and gas crowd. The part where he’s “messing up” is his attempts at non-political commentary. He’s insulting when he tries to use humor to disguise his politics and believing that we lack the same critical thinking skills he does to see his agenda. I get that he loves to think he’s the smartest person in every room and probably never shuts up at a dinner party, but that’s what makes him so entertaining when you can hit pause or next anytime we want. I just hope he can stop falling in love with himself long enough to realize that at least on the subject of politics, we can see him, and his views would be best, either kept to himself, or at least not subject us to further failed attempts at humor meant to camouflage his truth. Smart guy sure, but collectively, we walk circles around him. I look forward to his next post on global affairs where he truly shines.
@@mikegoodie7905 But it's very clear that Peter doesn't get along with the MSS. 🤣
Notice he didn't criticize Brandon or his handlers.....
Spot on
It's always good to provide a comment section in order to encourage the exchange of opinions.
Humor so dry, it desiccated the comment section.
Good to get the Aspen perspective.
He's not in Aspen, he lives on the Front Range, pretty far from Aspen which is one very small town in Colorado and in no way represents the state as a whole. So when some says Colorado, know that there's more towns than just Aspen, otherwise you look like a real dumb dumb.
When it comes to everyday life of the middle class, Peter is an out-of-touch academic elitist. ... He spends too much time in mountains ("head in the clouds") and hotels with room service. He should at least Airbnb on his his speaking gigs.
@@hg2. Stop duplicating your posts. You are entirely wrong.
@@Gutenmorgenside- entirely?
Snarky, but also pretty funny.
Wow, Pete is WAY off on this one! I think Pete should stick to his old wheelhouse.
He didn't say vaccines & ssri's cause shootings. He said we need to study the shootings & since the parents from columbine are suing over SSRI'S. I love ur stuff. I literally watched an interview that rfk showed the editing of his comments.
I hope so. And I'm in the UK!
You're completely out to lunch on the vaccine issue.
I like RFK Jr. and I have to say your characterization of him is not that accurate. Also, I know a lot of people that like him and none of us are batshit crazy.
He’s gotta dismiss everyone who thinks the system is broken. Zeihan is very pro-system as is
Agreed, he believes in protecting the environment and in freedom of choice regarding vaccines, I think he is refreshing, I wish more people would actually listen to him talk before believing what the media says about him.
RFK Jr is the best candidate of my lifetime.
Agree
agree
Jello? Slinky? Do I even want to know?
Everyone has their kinks.
“Trump thought he had cornered the bat-shit crazy vote ” 😂😂😂
A vote for Biden is a vote for Kamala god help us
And a vote for trump is a vote for chaos, upheaval ..and Project 2025 ; the religious Orwellian takeover of our system. No thanks.
A vote against Haley was a vote for Kamala.
I expect Biden will step down shortly after the election.
MAGA Republicans are just all kinds of stupid...
Imagine being that Peter? Ugh. I mean stupid.
Better than a vote for the evil one.
@@bigcity2085 true biden is evil
Did Perot? Yes.
Did Nader? Also yes.
Isn't it great when there's competition for the batshit-crazy vote?
“Trump thought he had cornered the bat shit, crazy vote,” lol.
I’m not expert but I have spoken to hundreds of people across a few states and they all say they are voting for trump. I have yet to meet a single person say otherwise. But I am certain there is some bias at play on my part ?
That is not a very scientific study, “I have spoken to hundreds of people.”
If you apply more statistics principles like samples sizes, variance, and population then you could probably get a more accurate picture
Where did you go? The deep south?
@@mitchconner403 I agree , it’s not an accurate representation of what’s going on nationwide . It could be more of the people I associate with such as Hispanic family members and friends , black family members and friends,active military members across Georgia, NY , Texas,Washington state , NC . Police friends in NY and PA , and college friends . Age ranges from 19-80. In total I’d say I have spoken to maybe 400 people maybe a bit less , but one thing does stand out and that is not one person has said they will be voting for Biden .
Sure you have, pollster.
All the polls are 50/50 and somehow everyone you talked to is full trump.
Well then...
Zeihan is an independent.
Question is: what kind of independent?
I'd like to hear his views on corporate taxation.
His political bias is as heavy as the shade on his sunglasses
he's already a self-professed filthy neocon (in his own words)
Was thinking the exact thing. Why cannot admit he is a lib (like most of his LGBT team)? It wouldn’t mean his info would be less relevant.
@@BuddyLee23 He may be culturally liberal but he is definately economically conservative; he's got no time for taxes or regulations or social programmes. He's probably closest to a pre-Palin Republican.
I totally agree, spot on again Peter
RFK Jr said ClA murdered his dad and uncle. RFK jr needs to be elected so we can find out the truth. FJB.
He's right about THIS republican. I supported Haley, but I'm a firm never-Trumper... And there's ZERO chance I'll vote for Biden. So it's RFK, Jr. for me.
Why are you a firm never-Trumper?
Which is the same as not voting
@@Gearbhall Feelings.
Amazing how the Libertarian candidate is never part of the conversation.
@@Gearbhall Where should I start? Virulent narcissist, incapable of telling the truth about anything, utterly fake Christian, toxic personality, unpresidential, soon-to-be-convicted felon... shall I go on? Plus, his sycophant supporters are too stupid to realize he CAN'T win a general election, so a vote for him in the primaries was a vote for Kamala Harris for President. Biden will win a second term, then shortly be forced out and Harris will be President. Haley could have stopped that scenario dead in its tracks, but no... Trumpers would rather LOSE the White House
Hey Peter, I think you ought to put those red-rimmed glasses aside for a while, they make you look like the whack-a-doodle militant loosely carrying the AK-style rifle in the movie "Civil War".
RFK Jr. supports a conspiracy theory involving Slinkies? What's that, something involving a deadly physics phenomenon? I gotta look that one up.
Petey- your crystal ball is broken. Uugghhh
Good question
You have wet the bed on this one Peter. Hope that Kool Aid tastes great.
i would like you to analyze any of his "conspiracy theories" so i can see your reaction when you realize hes right on every one...
A glib and facile assessment of RFK junior.
And you expected something different from Capetian Smug?
"The bat shit crazy vote" has me dying
