What Donald Trump and RFK Jr Have In Common

- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- Some of the wealthiest people in America have spent millions of dollars to get RFK Jr. on the ballot. But they don’t want him to be president. They have another goal. We dug into the money trail with @briantylercohen to find out their end game.

Super pacs should be illegal
lol you wouldn’t have a job
Yeah. And that would destroy the dem party
Secret money should be illegal.
@@margiecallahan3009 good work comrade. They will never believe your a Russian blogger
@@joenolan9602He’s Right. Democrats thrive on Super PAC’s and LAWFARE. The people behind that LAWFARE, including Judges should be thrown in Prison.
If you haven't noticed yet, the White House has denied RFK's request for Secret Service protection since last May. Now turn around and subject the Democrats' list of biggest donors with the same level of scrutiny.
I was thinking the same thing
Amen. Thank you for the comment. Bobby DOES have a good chance to win if on all 50 ballots. I've never been so motivated by a candidate. As far as accepting certain donations, Bobby himself has said he can't bring a knife to a gun fight.
I thought that this channel was above this sort of thing but It looks like More Perfect Union is no better than MSM. KENNEDY 2024 & 2028
When donors are throwing this kind of money you really have to wonder how much of a tax value they expect?
Oh, these Big Money Donors will continue to get large returns on their pro-tRump investments if they can get their wanna-be dictator back in the Oval Office. This is Fascism in its purest form.
They donate bc they hope N Hayle voter who said they would not vote for tRump will vote for RFK Jr. It's so up in the light, it's a rig attemt from billionair so they could get tax cut.
It makes yo wonder why they don't just give directly to Trump's broke campaign...
Please realize that Kennedy is the only presidential candidate willing to fight and end the style of corruption you are referring to. Kennedy isn’t swayed by his donors, he’ll say exactly what his stance is regardless of whether or not he’ll gain or lose a donor.
@@iansansburn4619 yes the billionaire backed candidate would not support his main donors. Say hypothetically he somehow actually wins, do you really think he would do anything different and against the rich when he's funding comes from them? If he alienated them he would loose their contributions and without them basically any means to sustain a larger platform. Parliamentarian politics is a rich man's game cause you need money to even participate. It doesn't matter who goes in the fact that they can to begin with speaks volumes. No candidate will save you, the masses have to save themselves
I'm voting for kennedy. He's the remedy. You can talk all this shit you want. He's still.
Going to win.
These people throw millions around like it is nothing....
Sickening buying of politicians.
Especially when billionaires actions are making life for common person economically unbearable. Stealing our pursuit of life & liberty.
Your being bought too with implied promises that any increase in taxation is going to benefit you.
All you news people are alike " Kennedy has no chance!!!! Never underestimate the power of the voters in this country. Remember voters outnumber the press!!!!
Disgusting what we let money buy in this country.
Capitalism at it's finest.
I find it strange because MATERIAL things turn to DUST, what's important is who we are in our hearts.
We each have the same EXACT personal name"me"
To show we are CONNECTED. You are an extension of "me" living a different life. WHAT I DO TO YOU I AM DOING TO THE GREATER PART OF MYSELF. We are like Humpty Dumpty trying to put our-SELVES* back together again. We cannot do that through FEAR and DIVISION.
WARS is how we commit suicide because we are killing our-SELVES.
They bought the DNC, forced him out of the primary as a Democrat and then y'all disparage his spending way less money than Biden to get in the ballot as an independent. America is going to get exactly what it deserves lol
We NEED to get big money out of POLITICS!!! Imagine what could be done with all that money? How many commercials over & over do we have to see? 🤔🇺🇸
We all need to write our representatives instead of just talking about it on social media, me included
@@christinajay8696 I write mine all the time. Sometimes it's a waste or seens to be but I just keep coming.
@@christinajay8696 LOL, it ends up in the trashcan. You think they care about your letters/emails compared to corporate money?
You can't. The 1st amendment protects political speech and campaign finance. The Supreme Court has ruled that the government cannot restrict independent spending by corporations on political campaigns. The Court has also equated giving money to a political cause as a form of political free speech.
Turns out the blueprint for democracy has a fatal flaw.
@@tobiusgrove nope. Poverty is a critical structural component of the economy and political system. Without poverty, how are you going to get children to work in meat packing plants? Without poverty, how are you going to have insane levels of personal wealth?
This country is a joke. How is bribery legal?
Looking up the definition of 'lobbying' is also interesting. That said, the system isn't broken; Researching and speaking with candidates--and voting wisely & often--are critical. Talk with people, plant seeds, and give them space.
How about selling pardons. This is just the beginning stay TF tuned
Ask clarence, bet he knows the legal aspects intimately.
Citizens United decision was the final (?) nail in the coffin to our "democracy ". However, this shite goes way way back.
The golden rule.
"He who has the gold, rules"
SCOTUS took bribes.
The money in politics is messing this up. Get dark money out of politics.
The Kennedy PACs have raised only a small portion of what the Biden and Trump campaigns have. If you ever decide to listen to Kennedy, he's the only candidate who really cares about improving the lives of Americans - Why can't rich people to give to other candidates besides the well-known uniparty candidates......it's not rich people who make things bad, it's when they only value profits and money.....listen to Kennedy and understand that he will bring about exciting changes in this country, that we desperately need!

You’re not listening, he’s in the race to guarantee Trump wins
I dont trust a guy who has a career in environmental law who also denies vaccines work at all. I dont want to give power to a guy who can just decide things arent real despite also working in an intrinsically science based job? Plus the guy hates health care and immigrants, goes a bit against the whole dismantling corporate power and loving the little guy
@@ptolemaicfoxxo3032at least two of those things you said are wrong. I’ve never heard him say that he doesn’t believe vaccines work to some degree, but he has said that some vaccines can have adverse effects, namely the Covid vaccine. Which is probably true, not that anyone will do a proper study on it. Secondly where did you get that he hates immigrants?? He just wants a secure border and has openly stated that he would streamline the immigration process.
I encourage you yo re listen to his stance on vaccines. Its.a.bit more nuanced than what.you heard. Good luck @@ptolemaicfoxxo3032
The biggest bombshell in this expose has nothing to do with Kennedy, Trump, or Super PACs, but rather, "getting onto the ballot ain't CHEAP!" Democracy of, by, and for the plutocrats. Thank you for caring.
Thank you.
Wouldn't it be nice if donors had no effect on elections?
Only you can make that happen.
We need a Constitutional Amendment. Move To Amend is a nonpartisan movement to add a Constitutional Amendment saying that 1) only natural born human beings have the rights of personhood, and 2) money is not speech. The petition is on their website.
@@dao8805
I think we should wait until we have lawmakers not associated with the current status quo. Our current lawmakers almost completely are not loyal to Americans which means they can't be trusted.
We need to wait until we have American friendly lawmakers. We do that by voting better people into office.
I don't care for Biden either He calmly eats his ice cream when I know the CARTELS are hurting innocent people and children who were just trying to get out of a bad situation and come here. Thing is they need to come in legally. But they don't deserve the horrible things that are happening to them by the CARTELS .
I believe Biden is being puppeteered by one who makes so much blood money off the wars.
@@hermenutic When will that be?
Corporate power being used to buy politicians and elections is the obstacle that needs to be removed in order for us to have lawmakers that actually serve the people instead of what we have now, which is lawmakers who serve their corporate donors.
The point of this proposed Constitutional Amendment is that it will remove the means for corporations to buy our politicians and our elections. It will take the big money out of politics. Until that happens we are stuck with the status quo.
@@dao8805
When will that be? Maybe never. That being said expecting Republican and Democratic lawmakers to fix what they created is nonsense. The present moment is the love child of the lawmakers in the Democratic and Republican Parties.
Once we have lawmakers that we can trust it can be done. That time isn't now.
Our lawmakers approve of genocide and if that doesn't make them untrustworthy by your standards you and I have little in common.
Go RFK Jr! Show the US that the 2-party system doesn't represent Americans.
No thank you. Kennedy is a wanna be trump. The Kennedy family does not support him. The Kennedy family endorsed President Biden. That should make you think.
He's a wedge
he's got my vote and more people need to be aware of his candidacy.
@@pierreluc5382 I wrote someone in because I wasn't going to vote for Trump or Biden.

@@bigdifferencemusicgrouptrust his judgement
Just like how you should trust vaccines dont work too XD
Reading through the comments there are a lot of RFK supporters here who are informed and know he is not anti-😢vax nor a conspiracy nut.
He mus really be threatening to be drawing all the ugly smear labels to try to discredit him, it only makes the ones misrepresenting RFK jr look bad to anyone who knows better.
Watching Brian essentially shill votes for Biden is also disgusting. I say this as a true anti-uniparty leftist. Please vote 3rd party. We need real change to start somewhere.
“We - our job is to resist and to talk about it to everybody. If you’re walking down the street - and I do this now myself, which is, you know, I don’t want to do - I’m not a busybody.

Because it’s terrible for you but our government doesn’t care about us, just the profit they get from big pharma

Wyoming regd?
God, I'm tired of these rich bastards. Imagine the good that money would do in the hands of people that actually need it.
Nicole Shanahan certainly isn't a Trump backer, and she's donated millions. Was she even mentioned in the video?
this video is liberal lies. Kennedy backers back Kennedy and he can WIN.
Nicole is amazing. I've researched her pretty well so far. Having money, which at the most, I have seen a net worth of 50 million which is nowhere a billionaire, doesn't mean they are bad.
Just trying to scare people into not voting for Kennedy. Not working for me.
This channel is obviously captured by DNC donors
Nope this is a biased DNC hit job on Kennedy.
Biased reporting and no Nicole was not mentioned. I was doubtful until I watched her speech. She is brilliant and relatable. And she has the same two qualities that Kennedy has, authenticity and likeability. The media can smear her all they want (as they have smeared him for 8 months), but she will catch on with the public.
I wonder why this guy doesn’t talk about all of Biden and Trumps doners?
Or his own doners. He deserves to be trolled.
Does he even know Kennedy’s track record? Kennedy can’t be bought.
Character >>> money.
How did Bernie’s grass roots movement turn out?
Bingo. People love the fear mongering though.
Because most of Biden's donors, like somewhere around 97 percent are small dollar donors under 200 dollars. Trump doesn't have any money for campaigning and has been rejected by his former billionaire friends. The numbers for Biden's campaign are well documented, and public. But of course that doesn't really matter to you apparently, because it's more important to push the both sides are bad argument instead of looking at the facts.
@@Nightfall_238 all I did was ask why he didn’t talk about the other guys donors🤷♂️ I’m thinking you’re a little off with most of it being funded by small donations. But good work jumping to conclusions
It's an easy information to find. Here the video isn't about RFK donors but about WHY they donate.
One never knows. I believe that I shall begin to pray for Mr. KENNEDY TO W
Win the election. We need a major change for the betterment of this country.
If we could just have ranked choice voting then at least we wouldn't need to have these silly arguments about spoiler candidates -_-
Yes! Thank you! No more spoiler effect = no more vote shaming!
RFK Jr. has the ability to bring the the people of the US together and work effectively with both sides of Congress. He is the best choice in 2024.
Horseshit
I feel like the smartest thing we could do here is talk rfk up as an alternative for previous trump supporters who are not feeling trump these days.
I need no convincing. I'm trying too. Former 2016 Trump supporter here. Left POTUS blank last election. I have been behind Kennedy since late last Spring. I love him.
I don't have many friends that will vote for Biden this time. They're sick of the lies, unavailable to talk without a cue cards, falling, scared of debate, failure to talk about issues that matter,etc. I voted against Trump in 2020 but will vote RFK Jr. People dislike him because they're told to dislike him. Spoke to a co worker and she's like he's crazy, I asked for examples and it was the usual shit. I never heard him speak long format
100%
@@veganpower3if you're dumb enough to take rfk seriously there's no telling what conspiracies you'll fall for. His anti-vax statements are crazy and he's had to walk many back, essentially admitting he's lying to people. But my guess is you fell for the anti-vax nonsense so

@@DM-px9ipI suppose you think it’s great to highlight the funds RFK Jr and Trump receive but best to not talk about the funds Biden receives and leave voters to do their own research hoping they won’t bother.
Rank hypocrisy !
Exactly. The entire system stinks. This video is highly partisan and hypocritical demonising the opposition of their preferred candidate whilst ignoring the financial interests of their chosen candidate, implying they candidate is honest and pure as the driven snow.
But I'm just gonna take away your rights.Billionaire who intends to make walls to be put against you to allow you any chance of getting ahead allowing more laws to allow the rich again to get more money. And the biggest thing neither one trump or kennedy Are for not democracy.
Vote for who you want, NOT out of fear for the candidate you don’t want.
If a few million Americans thought like this for one election, we could free ourselves from this horrible feedback loop of cycling between presidential candidates we don’t like.
I felt it was a civic duty to vote Biden in 2020 even though I don’t agree with what the modern corporate democrats are doing. No more FEAR voting!
I stayed in Thailand couple years ago. Thailand has a law where political donations of large amounts are illegal. Not saying Thailand is perfect but its amazing a country that called third world can understand bribery is wrong.
Kennedy doesnt have much choice bc of the US political system.
At least he frequently acknowledges the problem of big money in politics.
While of course having big money himself.
All the way to the bank.
Thats a rues.
@@ericlipps9459the DNC & GOP have structured the system so that he has to spend $15 million just to get on the ballot whilst they are on the ballot automatically for $0. Where’s the democracy in that. Forcing ANY challenger to raise and spend $millions just to give voters a choice.
And that’s before the challenger spends money doing actual political campaigning.
Meanwhile the Biden & Trump campaigns have received $35 million from their respective parties.
Well good luck ever winning without it while the system is in place.@@ericlipps9459
Vote RFK JR. Trump and Biden need to go
This is the most amazing kind of reporting I'd expect. Threw out anti-vax and slave owner in the first 2 minutes!! Now some non-biased stuff!
Calling RFK anti-vax for his criticisms of pharmaceutical companies is like calling someone who criticizes the opioid epidemic "anti pain relief."
@@RetrospectWindowI think McDonald’s is poison, I guess that makes me anti-hamburger 😂
Yet over 1 million people watched his VP announcement on Twitter. And that happened during the time most people are working. So what about the people that were working that support him? Have you figured those numbers in to who wants to vote for him? That’s not counting all the hundreds of thousands that watched it on all other social media. Not to mention he is polling higher than Biden and Trump among independent voters. Let’s not forget his favorability numbers are higher than Biden or Trump. So could you explain to me why you think he is unelectable?
They won’t explain anything they are a DNC funded mouthpiece spouting the same rhetoric that he will never get elected and a vote for Kennedy is a Vote for Trump bull crap.
The DNC has a candidate problem, they are running someone who is unlikeable and they want to blame Kennedy instead of self reflecting on why Kennedy a lifelong democrat is making an independent run.
They are hella biased against him and have not done their research, that's why.
Even if the stats you refer to are legitimate (and I have my doubts, especially since you don't cite any actual numbers), let's get real: the most RFK could credibly hope to accomplish is to throw the election into the House of Representatives, currently (narrowly) controlled by Republicans. And even that could only happen if he actually won some electors, which is extremely unlikely.
because there are more dems and reps than independent voters
@@user-cc2it7ix5qI don't think that's true, and that's a good thing. The difference is whether the independent voters actually vote. RFK is the first chance in a very long time that they will.
As someone who volunteers for the Kennedy campaign, I can speak for the rest of us when I say that AV24 is not in RFK Jr's or the campaign's best interests. In fact, when the campaign holds national ballot-access meetings, they make it expressly clear that we don't even count the ballot signatures that AV24 collects. Even if they meet a state's deadline, the campaign seeks to collect the necessary signatures for all 50 states before their respective deadlines solely through volunteer petition circulators within the campaign. 23 states were waiting on a VP pick before they could get started and other states have short windows so they have a specific 6-8 week window to collect signatures. I'm confident all 50 states will have RFK Jr. on the ballot in September.
Gen Z for Kennedy/Shanahan 2024!
Right on!!!! Keep up the great work my friend!

Replace first past the post voting and the electoral college with star voting and these kind of games will stop having any effect.
Ranked choice voting has more traction (e.g. it's already in place in both Alaska and Maine, and needs to pass just one more time to add Nevada to the list). As far as the Electoral College, it used to decently align with the popular vote until about a century ago. The apportionment process following the Census was never meant to have the states fighting over a fixed number of 435 House seats (and therefore 538 Electoral College votes) every 10 years. The House (and therefore Electoral College) user to grow every decade based on the results of the Census, but the Reapportionment Act of 1929 artificially locked both at where they were based on the 1910 Census (again, 435 and 538 are just fake numbers created by this unconstitutional law, and are well below where they should be based on the most recent 2020 Census). Repeal that law, and, even though it won't bring the House and EC in perfect alignment with the popular vote, it will be a huge improvement--all without needing a Constitutional Amendment nor attempting to deprive Alaska, Delaware, Vermont, Montana, etc. of their Constitutionally-guaranteed minimum of 1 U.S. House Representative (and therefore 3 Constitutionally-guaranteed EC votes).
I just read some of the comments here posted so far...we the people can see what needs to be done...get rid of the Electoral College and introduce Ranked Choice Voting ...etc etc...don't think us voters are stupid...
But it's not going to happen THIS year.
( Or Probably ANY year with a "2" in the next to last didget...that would be 2024 -- 2029 ) So what do we do in the meantime ? Not allow RFK Jr to help elect a total criminal by default seems the only way to go at this point.See recent historical perspectives re 3rd party spoilers ; George Wallace in 1968
, John Anderson 1980 , Ross Perot 1992 , Ralph Nader 2000 , Ron Paul several times ( til he got his son installed in the Senate representing Putin as America's " Libertarians "
Do we need more theater 🎭 ❓
We're told every four year that a vote for someone other than the the two party candidates is either a throw away vote or a vote for which ever one you don't like more. At some point, that message is gonna lose its impact. Stop voting for rich geriatrics.
RFK is a joke
The only way to make third party candidates viable is to get rid of first-past-the-post. The only way to do that is to convince one of the parties to get rid of it, or hijack one of them and do it ourselves. After that, we can have as many parties as we want. Before that, any vote for a third party is a meaningless virtue signal that does nothing to dismantle the duopoly, unfortunately. Reminder that Bernie Sanders and the Squad, just a handful of politicians, have done more to popularize progressive values in the past several years than the Green Party (or any other third party) accomplished in DECADES. The American electorate elects more and more progressives to Congress and local legislatures every year because of this hijacking strategy. It's actually working, albeit slowly, unlike the third party strategy which has done nothing but lose. Absolute best case scenario for this loser strategy? Look no further than the Bull Moose Party, which actually got a substantial portion of the vote, more than any third party could dream of today, but all that did was (predictably) hand the election to their enemies. Of course, the only way to keep getting more progressives in office is to make sure we have an environment where Liberals are the scariest enemy. You can't do that as long as fascists are allowed to exist. It sucks, but yes, we do have to vote for Genocide Joe in the forthcoming election. Progressives can expand their influence in an America ruled by Democrats. They cannot do this in an America ruled by Trump, who actively seeks to dismantle every tool that progressives have found success with. Shit sucks, but you have to do the work. Politics doesn't feel good, and you should be suspicious of anyone selling you a political strategy that gives you that sweet, addictive emotion called righteousness. It will always lead you astray. Keep yourself grounded in actual real world outcomes. Don't die on the hill of the aesthetics of principle.

The key solution in this whole debacle is to get corporate money out of politics.
In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that Americans cannot prevent corporations from spending unlimited money to control elections, politicians, and policy.
In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission , the court ignored the fact that corporations are creations of state law with government-derived advantages and labeled them, in the words of Justice Anthony Kennedy, “voices,” “speakers,” and yes, a “disadvantaged person or class.”
In this Wonderland, corporations are people, corporate money is “speech,” and laws restricting corporate political spending violate the First Amendment.
Nearly 80 percent of the public opposes the holding in Citizens United and supports a constitutional amendment to reverse the decision , according to multiple polls. If Americans so clearly oppose the fabrication of “corporate people” who can use the Constitution to strike down the real people’s laws, how did the folly of Citizens United ever happen? In fact, the case is the result of a well-funded and organized 30-year campaign to establish corporate constitutional rights as a means to trump democratic laws. Indeed, Citizens United is more like a victory parade for this campaign than a stumble or simple mistake of the Court.

The things needed to fix these issues will most certainly not be provided for and are actually opposed by the duopoly.
That's a good reason to support alternative candidates.
The Democratic and Republican parties control state and federal legislative bodies so if an alternative party has an impact it's their Frankenstein's Monster
Before you blame financial interests for backing Kennedy blame them for backing the dominant parties.
If you're for political integrity you'll have RFKJr, Jill Stein, Cornell West, a Libertarian Party candidate and just maybe a No Labels candidate as well.
Make the choice that best aligns with you.
If you don't like big money in political you can blame the current lawmakers in BOTH DOMINANT PARTIES and those parties' candidates.
For all of those commenters who question why there is little reporting on Trump or Biden donors, I agree we should know who is paying for our elected officials. This is easy to do for those donors who give directly to the individual campaigns. Donations to Super PACs are a little harder to nail down. There is a reason they call it “dark money”. Years ago someone said politicians should wear patches on their suits to show who is sponsoring them, just like NASCAR.

I am of the same opinion.
We havent had RFK jr's political opinion hit to the same degree and noterity as Trump's but when it does...
I mean RFK's stances on just about everything is more in line with Trumps supporters then Trump is! Add that in with the MAGA conspericy theories surrounding the Kennedy family as some sort of savors that where cut short and its a recipe for a confused Trump voting base.
@@AnonymousAnarchist2 Those moderates and independents easily influenced are part of the ones we need to stop TFG and RFK and all like them.
A vote for RFK isn’t necessarily a vote for Trump (although so far, it looks like that’s the case for a majority of his voters). It’s a vote for whichever major party candidate that voter dislikes more. If someone who would have otherwise voted for Trump votes for RFK, that helps Biden.
I'd never vote for either of those clowns.
I won’t vote for them, but I will vote for Biden again
@@yolyrom7233 please reconsider voting for Biden in order to stop trump. There is so much at stake- voting rights, women's rights, elections, just to name a few.
RFK 2024
I am only voting because Kennedy is running. His message is solid and has years that back it up. I left POTUS blank last election.
Trump is a Trojan Horse judging from his past actions.
Trump isn't a Trojan House he's a wannabe Hitler, he even quoted Mein Kampf in rally speeches.
@@DebunkTheLeftistPropaganda keep suckin cheeto dix

@@DebunkTheLeftistPropagandaproject 2025.
depends on what a specific voter was hoping for out of him. If they were looking for him to be a greedy asshole who's only in it for himself and to flail about like a spoiled toddler the whole, then they got exactly what they wanted lol
If this doesn't backfire on them then we are done being a Representative Democracy.
The only people represented by this "democracy" are the rich and Israel. The people doesn't matter.
thats a weird way to spell oligarchy
the us is only mildly more democratic than russia
I was in that circle too. I don't care what party you're at, Biden has not been good. Why would I choose him again? RFK Jr is actually talking about real world issues. This host is a shill hoping to get a dem job. Bring RFK Jr on and see how many more people he will sway away from Biden
@@SharienGaming Well if thats the case then we will be done being an oligarchy with some civil rights and become a Theocratic Autocracy with no civil rights.
@@Detrumpificator4377 sadly true... theres always ways for things to get worse - so only thing left to do is try and stem the tide and improve things wherever the opportunity presents itself right?
Remove money from politics, period. Campaigns and elections should be funded with tax dollars.
it's INSANE that someone would argue against LOGIC, like think about how destructive that type of thinking could be
Yeah, that had me cringing intensely 😵💫 What he's essentially saying is rely on (& don't challenge) your explicit and implicit biases... Biases which are generally not based on fact or evidence, and which are piss-pour heuristics for good decision-making. Terrifying argument to make!

We need a Constitutional Amendment. Move To Amend is a nonpartisan movement to add a Constitutional Amendment saying that 1) only natural born human beings have the rights of personhood, and 2) money is not speech. The petition is on their website.
What do you mean "natural born"?
That leaves t Rump out!
@@ericlipps9459 It would exclude the kind of "humans" Elon Musk is growing in pods in his labs (they are being grown, not born).

Wow how many hungry children could you feed for 7 + million?
How many wars we can not start if Biden wasn’t president ?
With the amount of money sent to Ukraine to continue war, US could have ended poverty and taken care of the homeless/mental disorder problem😅. Just food for thought
@rellom777 With the tax breaks tfg gave to the wealthy, child poverty could have been ended, AND Ukraine could have been defended.
Sorry there aginst free or reduced school lunches
How much do they cost?
Why not explain where Biden and the DNC get their funding from?
It's a matter of public record. Look it up. You tube has no obligation to do it for you.
So now how do we get mainstream media to cover this and inform people?
His 3rd biggest donor is Peter Thiel
Exactly. Wonder why the media waited months to discuss his donors.
Because they're all getting donations from the same people 😂😂😂 I laugh to keep from crying because I don't think the masses will ever rise up to realize that billionaires are the problem...
@@eh3477bigT takes up 99.9% of the time and this guy was / is irrelevant but money is flying at him so they’re paying attention now
Please evaluate RFK on his own words and platform. Full speeches and interviews. Not media soundbites and spin like this video. RFK taking on the corruption of the wealthy and powerful is exactly why I'm supporting him. And he's precise about his platform - not just vague pandering to the middle and lower classes like Biden and Trump do
@@RetrospectWindowwe’re in the trenches of political warfare us Kennedy supporters will stand strong and hold the line

We will never know.

You might be right about a vote for RFK is a vote for Trump. But at this point I'm either voting for RFK or not voting for anyone. America can do better than our last 2 peeon presidents
Abolish the Electoral College.
Abolishing the electoral college, while sensible to do, doesn’t solve the stalking horse problem.
Ranked choice voting does. Implementing RCV needs to be a top priority for both primary and general elections.
Trump would be a move in the right direction.
American politics is one of the ugliest circus show there is! The world is watching
It takes $$$ to get elected...Compared to the money out there to discredit Kennedy his donations are pennies.Lets see if this channel talks about the donor billions available to the DNC and the RNC????
They absolutely won’t. This dude is a talking head for the establishment. It’s fine when the establishment does it, but as soon as someone not in their sphere tries it, it’s all of a sudden a problem.
@@himynameis6502yet you're here. Kennedy is a tool and so are you
Nobody needs to discredit him, that his name
This is a video about RFK.
A more perfect union; this channel has had cutting remarks for the DNC and RNC both, Trump and Biden both.
These guys are more like the cheerleaders for Bernie Sanders.
But when approprate.
Right now it isnt a choice on who's president. SCOTUS has lined up the field goal for a Trump dictatorship.
It is a choice between an absolute dictatorship of the Trump family and Biden.
Technically Biden could take and use that set up as well, but he has made no effort towards doing so, and doing so with the state of mis-information and consperacy theories if Biden where to use all the tools and rulings that the MAGA crowd have cheered on to snatch an absolute victory it would spark civil unrest that might reach the level of civil war.
Trump winning might also spark civil war. At bare minimum a Trump win would see 4 years of constant protests. And thats assuming something is done to actually remove the Trump family.
And given Trumps prior track record with the BLM protests; the protests we would see under Trump would be forced into riots by Trumps actions.
Basically the way the powers that be are lined up at this moment; anything less then a clear Biden win and the USA will tear itself apart with every major metropolitan area in revolt of the suburbs and some of the rural areas but not all. There will be no peace to build anything else ontop of.
And even that is assuming that a Biden win will dampin the spirits of the MAGA faithful and thier brown noses and shirts.
Kennedy discredits himself every time he opens his yap about vaccines. We've already tried the experiment of electing an anti-science ignoramus to the White House, and it has never worked out well.
RFK jr is the only candidate trying to heal the division
It’s very sad that MPU is making the assumption that Kennedy can’t win the 2024 bid. A vote for Kennedy IS NOT a vote for trump. An Independent vote IS NOT a wasted vote. People are disillusioned with both majority parties, so when it comes down to it would you rather not vote at all or vote independent??? Trump’s donors that are donating to Kennedy may believe that he has no chance, but I do, and so do millions of other Americans. GO SEE WHAT KENNEDY HAS TO SAY FOR YOURSELF!!! Find interviews, listen to podcasts, EDUCATE YOURSELVES!!!! Don’t listen to talking heads, do your own research!!! KENNEDY IS THE REMEDY!!!!
disillusioned by politics? work at the community level to see results…RFKjr can only divert resources and energy from the issues. vote your conscience.
It is a vote for trump. Kennedy is taking votes from democrats not from trump. Him being on the ballot is to eat away at the margins and if trump gets elected because you voted for rfk your gonna feel like a dunce
This original comment is 100% correct. Please go evaluate RFK in his own words and decide for yourself - full interviews or speeches where you actually hear what he stands for and plans to do.
@@obear1I agree with you that people need to engage more locally and work at the community level. But I disagree with you conclusion about Kennedy - especially since he's explicitly targeting regulatory corruption that drains our resources away from the people who need it. Please, I urge you to listen to him in his own words - full interviews and speeches. Not media soundbites and spin
Yes, it is.
He's not going to win! Vote I bet my house President Biden wins 🌊🌊🌊🌊
stop saying he has no chance
He doesn't
He doesn't. The electoral college just doesn't allow for 3rd party candidates. And the last thing we need is an anti science lunatic in the white house. He'll probably come out as a damn flat earther someday
Hes the hero we need not the hero we deserve @@stevenhenry5267
When the 2024 election includes two former presidents who straight up lied about their plans opon previous elections, RFK has the best chance he'll ever get.
@@martinsto8190just cause no chance is better than no chance in hell doesn't change much
This guy is not John Kennedy!!!
No, he’s Robert Kennedy
Yeah......obviously lol, he's Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
His family has disowned him because he's such a dangerous crackpot.
When i hear him say "you can do well for yourself by helping others", i hear "I suck up to billionaires".
He apologized for the ad despite it being his pinned tweet on twitter.
He was sorry that people were offended by it, not that they ran it.
He opened his mouth and I said nope.
That's the problem. Biden can't even do long form interviews and scared of debate. Yet RFK talks for 2 hours will real solutions, went to the border, wants to restore the housing market, release corporate capture,etc and you can't hea4 his voice but can stand Biden. I voted for Biden but if people are scared Biden will lose votes, maybe that's a testament on Biden not RFK Jr.
He has Spasmodic Dysphonia a vocal cord disorder.
@@the_lightnessofbeing
That's secondary. It was what he said. I was so disappointed.
So do you want a 2 party system forever? He isn't even in control of his superpac. Why don't you try having him on your show? I'm sure he love to clear things up.
lolol you called him an anti vaxxer? 😂😂

“All the world’s a stage”….

I have now subscribed because of this video, I am so poor now, I fear the next day, I live in fear financially, my small town of 3,000 people is full of homeless people sleeping on the streets, under Joe Biden who I voted for my life has gotten more difficult, its ruining my family, life has little meaning now, and honestly I don't care who is funding Kennedy, Biden shouldn't have ran if he was that bad, he needs to retire
American democracy needs serious structural reform. How you ever got the label as the leader on democracy is questionable as the flaws in your system are very clearly exposed for the world to see. It's no wonder the evil guys believe they can destroy you from within.
Worked for Paul Mitchell for YEARS. John Paul De Joria was a cofounder of Paul Mitchell Systems. Paul Mitchell was the face and creative force. John Paul was the man on the ground who made it happen.
I figured it was someone trying to split the Democratic vote.
Yep, that's what it is.
The vote wouldn't be split if Democrats and Republicans stopped blocking ranked choice voting initiatives in states around the country.
Rfk pulls more trump voters then Biden voters. This video seems to miss that point big time.
There are people on the right claiming the same thing about RFK hurting Trump. I was NOT ever going to be a Biden voter, and neither were so many people supporting RFK. He's pulling from both sides for a reason. Please listen to him in his own full words and decide for yourself
@@jimgarbarino8763 actually thats been fluctuating. Lately he seems to be effecting Biden more than Trump
This guy unknowingly endorses the establishment narrative. Disregard the fearmongering; it's just typical political tactics on all sides.
At 5:55, that sure is a funny reflection on Trump's face. Reminds me of another politician in the 1930's...
This story will make a good netflix series 10 years from now.
You know what the problem with draining the swamp? The sludge just waits for the next rainfall to fill it back up.
Everyone is so focused on “don’t vote for him for president, things need to change,” and then continue voting for their congressional representatives who have been in office for 40 years.
And leaving corrupt judges in power for life, no supervision.
The information on donors is really interesting, thank you! But I hope he does get on the ballot, and I think it should be easier in general for Independents and "third" parties to be on the ballot. That's called democracy, something our 2 party system works to prevent. I will not vote for Kennedy, nor disgusting Trump, nor Genocide Joe because I have huge disagreements with all of them.
Not voting for Joe will put Rump in office, so you're saying you're voting for Rump. Simple math.
