Over the past two months in our history book club, we have been reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of President #Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services #RFKJr., written by Jerry Oppenheimer. The author also penned a scathing biography of RFK's late mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away in October 2024 at age 96. Join me for the last episode of "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." -- an Epilogue by the author — and let me hear your thoughts on the book in the comments.

Our exploration President #Trump's new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s tumultuous and troubled family life continues in Episode 18. In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we discuss the suicide of Mary Richardson Kennedy, Bobby’s second of three wives. During the final months of her life, while going through a prolonged and ugly divorce, Bobby's second wife Mary Richardson Kennedy discovered a secret diary her husband kept documenting scores of affairs he had during their 16-year marriage. Mary gave the 398-page diary -- along with more evidence, including text messages, phone logs, and photos she had found in Bobby's phone -- to her divorce lawyer for safekeeping. She also gave rather curious instructions to her family members that if anything happened to her, she wanted them to leak the diary to the media so that the world would know the truth about RFK Jr. Mary was also in the process of writing an affidavit detailing her response to terrible allegations Bobby made against her in divorce court -- allegations she strongly denied. But before she could finish and file the document with the court, Mary took her own life on May 16, 2012. In these last two chapters we will explore the last days of Mary’s life, the legal battle between the Richardsons and the Kennedys over who would have control of her remains, and Bobby’s bizarre secret exhumation of Mary’s body from the Kennedy family burial plot. We will also dive into the Bobby’s relationship with Cheryl Hines — the married TV star of HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” — and the secret affair that eventually led to their 2014 wedding. In more than a decade of marriage, RFK Jr. has allegedly cheated several times on Cheryl, too. What goes around comes around, right? If the old saying is true, “you can tell a lot about a man by the way he treats his wife,” how, then, will the history books ultimately judge Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.? Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of #RFKJr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer. The author also penned a scathing biography of RFK's late mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away in October 2024 at age 96.

Our exploration President #Trump's new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s tumultuous and troubled family life continues in Episode 17. In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we delve into the "lust demons" that Kennedy has done battle with since his teenage years. In the final months of her life, while going through a prolonged and ugly divorce, Bobby's second wife Mary Richardson Kennedy discovered a secret diary her husband kept documenting scores of affairs he had during their 16-year marriage. Mary gave the 398-page diary -- along with more evidence, including text messages, phone logs, and photos she had found in Bobby's phone -- to her divorce lawyer for safekeeping. She also gave rather curious instructions to her family members that if anything happened to her, she wanted them to leak the diary to the media so that the world would know the truth about RFK Jr. Mary was also in the process of writing an affidavit detailing her response to terrible allegations Bobby made against her in divorce court -- allegations she strongly denied. But before she could finish and file the document with the court, Mary took her own life in 2012. That important document did not surface until 13 years later, when it was leaked to Mother Jones in January 2025, during Mr. Kennedy's confirmation hearings for a cabinet post in the #Trump administration, along with recordings RFK Jr. had been surreptitiously making of Mary without her knowledge or consent. It is only now, more than a decade after her death, that we finally get to hear Mary's side of this dark story. At last, Mary is allowed to speak in her own defense -- even from beyond the grave. Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of RFK Jr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer. The author also penned a scathing biography of RFK's late mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away in October 2024 at age 96.

Our exploration President #Trump's new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s tumultuous and troubled family life continues in Episode 16. In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we tell the tragic tale of his cousin #JFKJr's fatal 1999 plane crash. President Kennedy's only son died alongside his wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and sister-in-law Lauren Bessette when the small aircraft he was piloting took a nosedive into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Martha's Vineyard on July 16, 1999. In a sad note of irony, the crash happened not far from his late mother Jackie's Vineyard estate, and very near the bridge where his uncle Teddy's Chappaquiddick car wreck had occurred exactly 30 years earlier -- almost to the day. #RFKJr and #JFKJr were reportedly very close, and indeed, despite the chilly relations between the JFK and RFK families, they forged a friendship that endured. Bobby was the only RFK cousin John bequeathed money to in his last will and testament. Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of RFK Jr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer. The author also penned a scathing biography of RFK's late mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away in October 2024 at age 96.

Our exploration President #Trump's new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s tumultuous and troubled family life continues in Episode 15. In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we will explore the #RFK family's connection to the savage murder of an innocent 15 year-old girl in 1975 -- a case that remains unsolved to this day. As you heard in Ep. 14 last week, Bobby's younger brother Michael was charged in 1997 for statutory rape when it was discovered that he had been carrying on a secret five-year affair with the family babysitter, who was an underage teenager at the time. When cousin Michael Skakel got involved -- in an attempt to help the teenage girl -- the powerful Kennedys vowed to destroy him. (And indeed, within a short time Skakel was arrested as a suspect in the murder of his former Greenwich neighbor, 15 year-old Martha Moxley, who had been killed more than two decades earlier.) Michael Skakel was convicted for Martha's murder in 2002 but only served 11 years of a life sentence because once again, Kennedy family power and money does a lot of talking in the so-called "justice' system. (As we discussed in Ep. 14 with the rape trial of Kennedy cousin William Kennedy Smith.) We will dive into how #RFKJr and the Kennedys covered up the truth about Martha Moxley's murder; circling their wagons of high-priced lawyers, media operatives, and publicists to influence the court of public opinion, successfully getting Skakel's conviction overturned and securing his release from prison. RFK Jr. says his cousin is innocent of the crime, and did not kill Martha Moxley. If that is true, then, who did? In this episode, I'll present the evidence, and the suspects, and let you decide. YOU are the jury. Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of RFK Jr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer. The author also penned a scathing biography of RFK's late mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away in October 2024 at age 96.

Our exploration President #Trump's new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s tumultuous life continues in Episode 14. In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we will go back to the 1990s -- a decade in which the Kennedy family scandals and tragedies kept coming, one after another, after another. Two of Bobby's brothers -- Joe and Michael -- destroyed their marriages with infidelity. Then-Congressman Joseph Kennedy divorced his wife Sheila to marry his secretary/mistress Beth Kelly, and later used his influence within the Catholic church to have his first marriage annulled. (His first wife fought for years to have the annulment overturned, and eventually won.) Meanwhile, Bobby's youngest brother Michael had been carrying on a secret five-year affair with the family babysitter, who was an underage teenager at the time. When cousin Michael Skakel got involved -- in an attempt to help the teenage girl -- the powerful Kennedys vowed to destroy him. (And indeed, within a short time Skakel was arrested as a suspect in the murder of his former Greenwich neighbor, 15 year-old Martha Moxley, who had been killed more than two decades earlier.) The family feud grew more intense as #JFK's son #JFKJr chimed in, opining in a 1997 George Magazine editorial that his #RFK cousins were "poster boys for bad behavior." The story soon took another tragic turn on New Year's 1997, when Michael Kennedy died a violent death -- skiing headfirst into a tree on the slopes of Aspen in front of his entire family, who witnessed the horror. But the biggest Kennedy scandal of the decade was the rape trial of Bobby's cousin William Kennedy Smith in 1991. We will dive into how the Kennedys covered up the truth; circled their wagons of high-priced lawyers, media operatives, and publicists to influence both the jury pool and the court of public opinion to successfully render a verdict in Willie's favor (even though Bobby and his cousin, John F. Kennedy, Jr., both privately believed that Willie was guilty). Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of RFK Jr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer.

On Thursday morning the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services was confirmed by the full Senate. Secretary Kennedy was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch at the White House with President #Trump and members of Mr. Kennedy's family in attendance. #Democrats vocally opposed #RFKJR's appointment in a 30 hour marathon debate on the Senate floor prior to Thursday's vote. Their arguments centered mainly on Kennedy's history of anti-vaccine activism, his fluctuating stance on abortion, his conflicts of interest and lack of proper qualifications. Yet, his serious character flaws and bizarre behavior that could be considered disqualifying factors at any other time in history were barely even mentioned. When #RFK declared his run for the presidency in April 2023, he said in his speech: "I've got so many skeletons in my closet that if they could all vote, I would be king of the world." In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we will open Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s closet full of skeletons and take a peek inside. Episode 13 explores the sex addiction that destroyed Bobby and Emily's marriage, his secret quickie divorce and rushed marriage to Mary Richardson, who was already 6 months pregnant with his baby. Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of RFK Jr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer. The author also penned a scathing biography of RFK's late mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away in October 2024 at age 96.

This week the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services is expected to be voted on by the full Senate. After #Kennedy was recommended by the Senate Finance Committee last week, Senate Majority leader John Thune filed a motion to invoke cloture and end debate on #RFKJR's confirmation so that the floor vote may proceed without any resistance or further delay from Democrats. Kennedy could be confirmed by the Senate as early as Wednesday. In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we will discuss Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s journey from heroin addict to environmentalist. After his 1983 heroin bust and near-fatal overdose, a judge ordered Bobby to perform 1500 hours of community service in lieu of a two-year prison sentence. (Being a Kennedy has its advantages.) His service was at the Hudson River Fisherman's Association, which would later become known as #Riverkeeper. He quickly rose in the organization and essentially took it over, ruling the proverbial roost with an iron fist -- and, according to many of his colleagues, used Riverkeeper as his own personal piggy bank while ruthlessly flaunting fish and wildlife laws and launching lawsuits that were often based on questionable science.

The Senate Finance Committee voted Tuesday along party lines, 14-13, to advance #RFKJr’s cabinet nomination to the full Senate. After 30 hours of debate, Senators will vote by simple majority on whether to confirm him as President Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services. That vote could happen late this week or early next week. In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we will explore Kennedy’s first marriage — which was plagued by his drug use and serial philandering — to Emily Ruth Black, whom he married on April 3, 1982. Together, the couple had two children: Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy III (now married to RFK Jr.’s 2024 presidential campaign manager Amaryllis Fox Kennedy) before their divorce in 1994.

#RFKJR faced confirmation hearings before two Senate committees this week -- the Finance Committee on Wednesday, January 29th, and the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee on Thursday, January 30th. Now that public testimony has concluded, Senators will soon vote on whether to confirm him as President Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services. During the televised hearings, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s own family members voiced their concerns (and, at times, outrage) about Bobby’s alleged serious character defects that should be disqualifying for such an important cabinet-level position. #RFK Jr.’s cousin Caroline Kennedy, and JFK’s grandson Jack Schlossberg both came forward with some damning stories about Bobby’s past behavior, and even his second wife Mary Richardson Kennedy’s voice was finally heard from beyond the grave. (Mother Jones unearthed bombshell secret recordings and documents this week from the couple’s divorce proceedings that tell Mary’s side of the story, just two months before her 2012 suicide.) In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we will explore Kennedy’s first marriage — which was plagued by his drug use and serial philandering — to Emily Ruth Black, whom he married on April 3, 1982. Together, the couple had two children: Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy III (now married to RFK Jr.’s 2024 presidential campaign manager Amaryllis Fox Kennedy) before their divorce in 1994. Shortly before the wedding, however, tragedy struck again. Lem Billings, #JFK’s lifelong best friend who had been Bobby’s “second father,” the man who practically raised RFK Jr. after his father’s 1968 murder, died suddenly from a heart attack. However, Bobby’s mother Ethel always believed it was caused by a drug overdose, and blamed Bobby for leading Lem down the road to ruin. Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of RFK Jr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer.

Meet President-elect #Trump's controversial pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr. #RFKJR faced his first confirmation hearing before one of two Senate committees -- the Finance Committee -- on Wednesday, January 29th. He will appear before the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee on Thursday, January 30th. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy - daughter of #JFK and the cousin of Robert F Kennedy Jr - urged US senators to reject her cousin as America's next health and human services secretary in a scathing letter released on Tuesday. The message, shared through social media, was sent to senators ahead of RFK Jr's confirmation hearing. "I have known Bobby my whole life; we grew up together," she wrote. "It's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because he himself is a predator." In the latest episode of this History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." we will hear Caroline's full letter to the Senate, and dissect exactly what she meant when she called RFK Jr. a "predator." While Caroline Kennedy's letter to the Senate revealed some of RFK's predation towards animals (she described a horrific memory of watching Bobby put live baby chicks and mice in a blender), she refrained from speaking about Bobby Jr.'s predatory treatment of the women in his life -- a subject she knows too much about from personal experience. Episode 8 takes us back to the late 1970s, and describes an important chapter in the relationship between Caroline Kennedy and young Bobby Jr. It was Caroline who introduced Bobby to British beauty Rebecca Fraser (her close friend), the daughter of JFK's old pal Hugh Fraser. Caroline and Fraser were both nearly killed during this time when a car bomb exploded his Jaguar. In this episode, you'll hear how Bobby juggled multiple girlfriends behind their backs, while "fucking everything that moved" behind the scenes of his uncle Sen. Ted Kennedy's 1980 presidential campaign, before dumping his steady gal pal -- Caroline's friend Rebecca Fraser -- for the new object of his desires: a young UVA student named Emily Black, whom he would eventually marry. Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of RFK Jr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer. The author also penned a scathing biography of RFK's late mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away in October 2024 at age 96. As Kennedy's Senate confirmation hearings continue Thursday, get a sneak preview of some tough questions Kennedy is likely to be asked about his past, and will have to answer in the televised hearings.

Meet President-elect #Trump's controversial pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr. #RFKJR is facing his first confirmation hearing before one of two Senate committees -- the Finance Committee -- this Wednesday, January 29th. He will appear before the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee on Thursday, January 30th. My latest episode of the History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." begins as Bobby Jr. reaches adulthood and enters Harvard University in 1972. In previous episodes, we learned that Ethel and Robert Kennedy’s large brood were raised by nannies and babysitters while their busy political parents were absent. The situation became worse after #RFK’s assassination, when his widowed wife — unable to cope with the demands of mothering 11 unruly children — grew increasingly unstable, angry, and abusive towards them, especially Bobby Jr., whom she disowned and kicked out of the house at age 14. After Ethel washed her hands of Bobby, his care and feeding was taken care of by a number of people, called by insiders the “Bobbysitters.” From JFK’s old pal Lem Billings to the Brode family who took him in, to Peter Lawford when Bobby Jr. ran away to California on a drug-fueled road trip, the “Bobbysitters” were always there to protect Bobby from himself (or at least they tried). Grown adult men shouldn’t need babysitters, but Bobby Kennedy Jr. has never been able to function without his handlers. As you will hear in this series, RFK Jr. continues to surround himself with his “Bobbysitters” — a stable of devoted sycophantic gatekeepers — to the present day. Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of RFK Jr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer. The author also penned a scathing biography of RFK's late mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away in October 2024 at age 96.

Meet President-elect #Trump's controversial pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr. #RFKJR is facing his first confirmation hearing before one of two Senate committees -- the Finance Committee -- this Wednesday, January 29th. My latest episode of the History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." picks up where Episode 4 left off: inside the shaken, chaotic, and often abusive home of his widowed mother Ethel Skakel Kennedy known as Hickory Hill (as it was privately called by insiders, "Horror Hill" or "Hickory Hell"). After being quietly expelled from two previous high schools for drug use and dealing drugs to other underage students, young Bobby finally finds his groove at the Bohemian Palfrey School, which he finally graduated from in 1972. Palfrey school allowed Bobby Jr. to escape his mother, whom he called "controlling" -- getting him the hell out of Hickory Hill and into the home of a young hippie family who allowed him the total freedom he sought. Here, Bobby was able to take his drugs and bring his teenage girlfriends over for the night without fearing retribution from his "tyrannical" mother. Bobby then applied to Harvard University, the school he felt was his birthright -- where his father and famous uncles and his grandfather had matriculated. Although he lacked the grades and moral character usually required of Harvard men, the Kennedy family name guaranteed his acceptance. Bobby's application famously contained only his name: he merely wrote, "Robert F. Kennedy, Jr." Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F.

Meet President-elect Trump's controversial pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. #RFKJR is visiting with key Senators right now who will decide his fate in this month's cabinet confirmation hearings. My latest episode of the History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." picks up where Episode 2 left off: the aftermath of his father's murder by Sirhan Sirhan on June 5, 1968. At the impressionable age of 14, young Bobby Kennedy Jr. was harshly rejected and disowned by his angry, traumatized mother Ethel #Kennedy, and shuttled off to a boarding school for rich problem children known as Milbrook. It was at Milbrook that Bobby -- like so many young men of his generation -- fell under the influence of LSD guru Timothy Leary, who taught him to "turn on, tune in, drop out." Bobby must have taken Leary's advice literally. He dropped out of Milbrook, as well as two other schools, before finally getting his high school diploma. Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized #biography of RFK Jr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer. The author also penned a scathing biography of RFK's late mother, Ethel Kennedy, who passed away in October 2024 at age 96. As Kennedy's Senate confirmation hearings near, get a sneak preview of some tough questions Kennedy is likely to be asked, and will have to answer in the televised hearings.

President-elect Trump's controversial pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is visiting the nation's capitol this week for private meetings with 28 key Senators -- all of them Republicans -- who will decide his fate in next month's cabinet confirmation hearings. Kennedy took no questions from reporters, who mobbed him in the hallway, preferring to reserve his answers for U.S. Senators behind closed doors. One Senator who met privately with RFK, Oklahoma Republican Markwayne Mullin said on Monday that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told him he supports polio vaccination -- despite some recent media reports that Kennedy might do away with the polio vaccine. "He said, 'I 100% support polio vaccination,'" Mullin told reporters after meeting with Kennedy, who has for years sown doubt over the safety and efficacy of vaccines, including asserting a debunked link between vaccines and autism. According to Sen. Mullin, Kennedy said the polio vaccine is different because it was one of the first vaccines to be developed. He quoted Kennedy as suggesting that children receive too many shots and saying, the question is "why are we giving our kids 72 shots now?” Trump has said he could end some childhood vaccinations if he thinks they are dangerous. "It could if I think it's dangerous, if I think they are not beneficial, but I don't think it's going to be very controversial in the end," he told Time magazine in an interview published last week. Today, Trump downplayed his previous statement, telling reporters, "you're not going to lose your polio vaccine" under Kennedy's leadership at HHS. "That's not going to happen." Kennedy faces an uphill battle in his Senate confirmation hearings, given his previous anti-vaccine statements, and his tendency to espouse debunked conspiracy theories. That, combined with a messy private life and a long history of adulterous affairs, will make it difficult for some conservative senators to support him. My latest episode of the History Book Club series, "The Dark Side of RFK Jr." explores his checkered past; his 15 year struggle with alcohol, cocaine, and heroin addiction, his philandering, and the tragic suicide of his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, in 2012. Over the weeks ahead, we will be reading and discussing excerpted chapters from "Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream," an unauthorized biography of RFK Jr. written by Jerry Oppenheimer.

56 years ago this month, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was gunned down in a kitchen pantry of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. My ongoing investigative series on the RFK assassination continues on Episode 38 of "Strange Bedfellows" with tonight's guest, historian Mel Ayton (author of "Sirhan Sirhan: The Forgotten Terrorist") -- who will tell us what motivated Kennedy's killer. Researchers have spent the past 56 years bogged down in ballistics and bullet trajectories, all the while overlooking the most important aspect of the crime: motive. We are all guilty of focusing too much on the HOW, and not enough on the WHY. So, why did he do it? Sirhan told us why. Many times. Minutes after shooting Sen. Kennedy, Sirhan told arresting officers: "I can explain! I did it for my country! I love my country." After being convicted of Kennedy's murder, Sirhan told his jailer: “It’s not very many people my age who is considered a martyr by his people. Just think, I’ll go down in history as a martyr and will always be remembered, at least by my countrymen.” He told us, over and over again, why he killed Kennedy. He did it for his country; for Palestine. Sirhan envisioned himself as a revolutionary, committing a revolutionary act. And it's true that he did put the Palestinian liberation movement on the front pages of newspapers for the very first time. Assassinating RFK brought attention to the plight of Palestinians -- and that's exactly what Sirhan intended to do. In addition, Sirhan's anti-Zionism was the primary motivating emotion that drove him to target high-profile political leaders for assassination. More than a year before he shot RFK, Sirhan was already naming the pro-Israel politicians he wanted to kill in his notebook, starting at the top: President Lyndon Baines Johnson. (See this thread for more details.) https://twitter.com/RealLoriSpencer/status/1799558104834560147 Sirhan also wanted to murder U.N. Ambassador Arthur Goldberg. (More info on Sirhan';s notebook entries about killing Goldberg below) https://twitter.com/RealLoriSpencer/status/1799561907415711884 Even after he was locked up awaiting trial for killing RFK, Sirhan was wishing death upon Vice President Hubert Humphrey. (See this thread for more) https://twitter.com/RealLoriSpencer/status/1800377657546379541 After his arrest, Sirhan was asked if he felt any shame. "Hell no!" He said. Clearly, Sirhan had no remorse for what he did. He was quite proud of himself. While behind bars, Sirhan constantly asked for newspapers from the Arab world, eager to read what was being written about his "heroic act" by those who -- unlike Americans -- fully understood his motives. Indeed, Sirhan was hailed a hero in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, and back home in Palestine. Even the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al-Husseini instructed his fellow Arabs to give Sirhan all possible aid after his arrest. The Grand Mufti's call was answered by Arab lawyers who came to assist Sirhan, and Arab Americans who held fundraisers for his legal defense fund and provided financial support for the Sirhan family. In 1968, Sirhan's motives were lost on most Americans, who rationalized the assassination of Robert Kennedy as the senseless act of a madman. We, as a nation, did not yet understand the complexities or history of the Middle East conflict. This was before the era of Palestinian skyjackings, hostage-takings, the Munich Olympics massacre, terrorist attacks, and 9/11. In 2003, The Los Angeles Times wrote that Sirhan "fired the first shot in the War on Terror." Indeed, he did. Sirhan's name will be recorded in the history books as the first Palestinian terrorist to strike at the heart of America, on American soil. Tonight on Episode 38 of "Strange Bedfellows" British author and historian Mel Ayton will give us a sneak preview of his upcoming biography of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan (his second book about Sirhan). Ayton's previous book "The Forgotten Terrorist: Sirhan Sirhan and the Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy" is recommended reading for anyone seeking to understand Sirhan's Arab nationalism, his antisemitism, his past in Palestine, his deep-rooted hatred of Israel, and his motives for the crime. The 2019 edition features a Foreword by Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz. Mel Ayton says that Kennedy's son RFK Jr. (currently running for president as an Independent) is wrong about a conspiracy in his father's murder, and tonight he will explain why. Sirhan is as guilty as sin, Ayton argues -- and he makes a very compelling case. Don't miss this interview tonight at 9 PM Eastern on "Strange Bedfellows!"

Saturday at 9 PM Eastern on “Strange Bedfellows,” we welcome British author Jack Buckby to talk about his new book The Truth Teller: #RFKJr and the Case for a Post-Partisan Presidency. Could #RFK Jr. overturn 230 years of American political history and become the first independent to mount a truly credible campaign for the presidency? Does the increasingly partisan and unpredictable nature of American politics provide an opportunity for the ultimate outsider to outrun the two-party system? In The Truth Teller, Jack Buckby explores the impact that #Kennedy’s candidacy could have on the Democratic party’s slide toward authoritarianism, his ability to connect with America’s youth, the common ground between #Trump voters and Democrats, the potential to make landslide victories common again, and the healing power of a candidate who refuses to alienate half of the country. In telling uncomfortable truths, Kennedy offers a radically moderate vision for America and a blueprint for bringing the country back from the brink of permanent decline. The Truth Teller offers a unique look at Kennedy’s campaign, describing how Kennedy’s radically moderate vision for America, his ability to bring together the left and the right, and his unique campaign style present an opportunity for America to normalize its politics and bring this divided country back together. GUEST BIO: Jack Buckby hails from Britain and now lives in New York City. His writing focuses on counter-extremism issues, current affairs, and politics. In his youth he was a member of a far-right white nationalist movement, the British National Party (BNP) but soon realized the error of his ways. He now devotes his efforts to de-radicalizing disaffected young people who are frustrated with politics, teaching them that extremism is not the way forward. A fascinating conversation is always guaranteed on “Strange Bedfellows.” Join us LIVE Saturday May 18 at 9 PM Eastern on the Maverick News Network.

I appeared on "The Homeless Left" Thursday to debate my dear friend Craig "Pasta" Jardula on 2024 Independent presidential candidate Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr.'s support for #Israel. Pasta is a former supporter of #RFKJr's presidential bid, but changed his mind last October after Kennedy announced his support for Israel's war against #Hamas. In this respectful debate between friends, I try to convince Pasta that #RFK's position on the #Gaza war is actually the correct one, and that Kennedy supports the innocents of #Palestine who are caught in the crossfire of a war started by Hamas. You might know Craig "Pasta" Jardula from "The Convo Couch" and "The Jimmy Dore Show," where he is an occasional co-host. His new show is "The Homeless Left" on the Pasta2Go channel. Watch the full 5-hour super stream here. My thanks to Pasta and Matt Weinglass for such a great debate! DISCLOSURE: I have endorsed RFK Jr. for president and am a volunteer recruiter on the #Kennedy24 campaign. I am not a spokesperson for Mr. Kennedy. All views expressed herein are solely my own. Join Team Kennedy with me at http://Kennedy24.com/LoriSpencer.

24 Independent Presidential candidate Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. has been strangely silent the past few weeks about the #antisemitic, pro-#Hamas protests happening on college campuses. Although #RFKJr has been asked about it in recent interviews, and answers briefly in a lawyerly manner about the difference between demonstrations on public vs. private property, he has otherwise completely avoided talking about the issue. While every other candidate in the presidential race issued statements on this national crisis immediately, Kennedy waited nearly three weeks before speaking up. Kennedy finally posted a tweet about the campus unrest Saturday outlining what he would do as president to ensure fairness to all students on campus, but said nothing about what he would do to stop the lawlessness and violence we are witnessing on campuses across America. https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1786943517710786626 Kennedy has proclaimed himself to be strongly pro-Israel, and supports #Israel's war against Hamas. At the same time, he says he is "very pro-Palestinian," and supports the two-state solution that would establish #Palestine as an independent sovereign nation. Is Kennedy doing the same "both sides" dance as President #Biden, afraid of losing progressive Democrats and Gen Z voters? Are his campaign advisers telling Bobby to tone down his pro-Israel rhetoric in order to appease the woke mob? At a time when #antisemitism escalating to frightening levels, #Jews are being assaulted in the streets, and some protesters are issuing calls to "kill all the Zionists," it feels like open season on Jews. The exclusion of Jewish "#Zionists" from campuses, establishment of "Zionist-free zones," Jewish students not being allowed to attend class, acts of harassment, intimidation and violence, hate speech and symbols of Jew hatred on campus property are all flagrant violations of the 1964 Civil Rights Act -- which is not being enforced by campus administrators, state governments, or the federal government. On this edition of Maverick News we ask why President #Biden isn't doing what President John F. #Kennedy did: send in the National Guard to protect the rights of ALL students, stop the violence, enforce the law of the land, and restore order on campus. The Kennedy legacy is civil rights. It is time for #RFK to pick up the mantle of #JFK and his father, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, on this divisive issue that is tearing our nation apart, and undoing 60 years of racial progress started by his ancestors. His uncle Jack's campaign slogans during the 1960 were "a time for greatness," and "leadership for the 60s." Can his nephew meet that high standard now? Because this is a time for greatness, not timidity. We need moral clarity and leadership for the 20s, right now. Now is the time for Kennedy to shine; to lead; to do something bold. I'll tell you what that is tonight on Maverick News. Join us at 9 PM Eastern.

The trial of Sirhan Sirhan for the murder of Robert F. #Kennedy concluded 55 years ago this week after four months of courtroom drama. The jury found Sirhan guilty of first degree murder for the assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and attempted murder of five other innocent bystanders wounded by his barrage of bullets at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The seven men and five women, who deliberated 16 hours and 42 minutes before reaching their verdict, found the young Palestinian was mentally capable of mature premeditation before shooting down the senator on June 5, 1968. As the verdict was announced Sirhan, who had been nervously chewing at his fingers, stared straight ahead and showed no emotion. After a one-day recess, the same jurors heard arguments as to whether Sirhan's fate should be life in prison or a sentence to the gas chamber at San Quentin. The penalty phase lasted only a few days in contrast to the 15-week trial. The prosecution did not seek the death penalty but told the jurors either sentence would be just. The jury's ultimate unanimous verdict was death in the gas chamber for Sirhan. (The sentence was commuted to life in prison a few years later when California abolished the death penalty.) As part of my ongoing investigative series "Who Killed Bobby Kennedy?" marking the 55th anniversary of Sirhan's trial, I recently spoke to #JFK/#RFK assassination historian James DiEugenio about the evidence in the case, which Jim believes points to a #conspiracy. In this highlight from our interview, we dive into the autopsy and ballistics evidence presented at trial. In Sirhan's defense, DiEugenio argues that it was impossible for Sirhan's bullets to have hit and killed Senator Kennedy. Jim DiEugenio is editor in chief at KennedysAndKing.com, author of numerous books on the assassinations of the 1960s,and wrote the screenplay for Oliver Stone's "JFK Revisited" documentary series.

The #Democrats have launched a coordinated attack campaign against Independent presidential candidate Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr. -- accusing him of (among other things) throwing the election to former President Donald Trump. "RFK Jr. is a spoiler for Donald Trump," said Matt Corridoni, a DNC spokesperson. He added that Kennedy is "now providing Trump cover by parroting #MAGA talking points downplaying January 6th." Meanwhile, the #Republicans are attacking Kennedy as a "far-left radical" as Trump himself said in a recent campaign video, but the former president also said in the video that he is "glad RFK Jr. is running" because he will take votes from President #Biden. Mr. Kennedy responded in a post on X today: https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1779899736176091407 It is true that many of #RFKJr's biggest financial backers are also top Trump donors, and there is without doubt a lot of cross-pollination within the two camps. Team Kennedy counts a lot of former Trump voters, volunteers, and supporters within the campaign's diverse political ranks. There is certainly a meeting of the minds and agreement on many key issues. But is this happening organically, or is it strategic? Are Team Trump operatives infiltrating the Kennedy campaign? We have to wonder. A campaign staffer working for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential bid recently raised the prospect of blocking President Joe #Biden from being re-elected by sending the election to the House of Representatives, where House members could elect former President Donald Trump, instead. Rita Palma, alongtime New York-basedcriticof vaccination mandates, appears in a recently uploaded video to be giving a presentation aimed at persuading #Republican voters to help Kennedy qualify for the state’s presidential ballot this fall. She identifies herself in the video as the campaign’s New York state director, though the campaign said Monday that she is a "ballot access consultant" and that her comments don't reflect overall campaign strategy. In those comments, Palma says that she knocked on doors for Trump's campaigns in 2016 and 2020 and has "more Trump T-shirts than I do Bobby Kennedy T-shirts" but that Trump "lost" her because of "the vaccines." Palma goes on to declare Biden the "mutual enemy" of the Trump and Kennedy voter and says her "No. 1 priority" is depriving Biden of his re-election, not helping Kennedy win. "Whether you support Bobby or Trump, we all oppose Biden.And my thoughts are that, you know, that’s the No. 1 priority in the country," she says in the video. And she outlines a specific way to do just that. While national Democrats focus on cutting Kennedy down in key swing states that typically decide elections, Palma pitches the prospect of depriving Biden of wins in blue states like New York. That, according to Palma, could keep both Trump and Biden short of the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidential election, leaving the choice to the currently GOP-controlled House, which she says would choose Trump. In a statement,Kennedy campaign manager Amaryllis Foxdescribed Palma as a "ballot access consultant responsible for scheduling volunteer shifts for our upcoming signature collection drive in the Empire State" and said it should be no surprise that different Kennedy backers come from different ends of the ideological spectrum. “As an independent movement, our supporters, volunteers, and field organizers come from all sides of the political spectrum and their reasons for supporting Mr. Kennedy are as disparate as their backgrounds,” the campaign statement said. “She is not involved in electoral strategy, nationally or in New York. This was not a campaign event. Palma was speaking as a private citizen and her statements in no way reflect the strategy of the Kennedy campaign, which is to win the White House with votes from former Trump and Biden supporters alike," the #Kennedy24 campaign statement continued. Since #RFK announced his run for the White House a year ago this month (he was then running in the Democratic Party; Kennedy switched to Independent last October), there have been several discreet approaches from the Trump camp -- particularly Roger Stone -- asking Mr. Kennedy if he was interested in the VP running mate slot on Trump's GOP ticket. The answer from Kennedy was always "thank you, but no thanks." "There is no question that in a close presidential race," #Trump strategist Roger Stone told the New York Times Wednesday, "independent or minor party candidates can have a disproportionately large impact." In this highlight from Episode 27 of "Strange Bedfellows" we spoke to Roger Stone's longtime friend and personal attorney Tyler Nixon (who is also an RFK supporter) about why he wants to see a unity ticket of Trump and Kennedy this year. Nixon says such a pairing is the only way we can not only heal the divide but actually drain the swamp. While such a unity ticket seems unlikely, that does not rule out the possibility of Mr. Kennedy serving the Trump administration in a cabinet position or Ambassadorship, perhaps. (I'll just say right now that the son of Robert Kennedy running the Department of Justice would be like hiring Roto-Rooter to drain that swamp, Mr. Trump!) We also discussed the recent attacks on Kennedy from the #DNC, President Biden, and their affiliated media mouthpieces. Tyler Nixon grew up with the Biden family in Delaware, was close to the president's late son Beau Biden, and knows where the bones are buried, as the saying goes. Whether it involves denying Kennedy Secret Service protection, or photo ops at the White House with Kennedy's siblings who oppose Bobby's candidacy, or censoring his opponent's message in the media, Tyler Nixon knows just how low Joe will go to destroy RFK's campaign. He will tell us all about it on the show tonight. Don't miss this "Best of Strange Bedfellows" episode at 9 PM Eastern! Thanks for watching!

(* This week we will pick up where we left off in Episode 28 hearing voter reactions to Kennedy's running mate choice Nicole #Shanahan in the second hour of the program.) If you've been following my recent series of podcasts exploring the #RFK assassination around the 55th anniversary of Sirhan Sirhan's trial, you'll also find tonight's panel discussion fascinating (and at times, emotional). Episode 29 of "#Kennedy Americans" delves into the murder of Senator Robert F. Kennedy on the presidential campaign trail in 1968. I opened up the floor to a live panel discussion on X (formerly known as Twitter) of the case evidence, conspiracy theories, and opinions as to whether Sirhan is guilty or innocent. We also talked about Sirhan's motives for the crime: by his own admission, Sirhan killed Sen. Kennedy because of his outspoken support for #Israel. Sirhan, a Palestinian who was radicalized politically, turned 80 years old last month -- still hoping for parole after 55 years behind bars. Should he be released? We'll talk about that too. Finally, we will discuss the obvious parallels between the elections of 2024 and 1968, and the unique security risks posed to #RFKJr since the #Gaza war began. The Department of Homeland Security has refused #RFK Secret Service protection five times now. The #Kennedy24 campaign made a sixth request in March 2024.

As part of our ongoing investigative series marking the 55th anniversary of Sirhan Sirhan's 1969 trial for the murder of Senator Robert F. #Kennedy, I've recently conducted a re-review of all available materials and evidence in the case. In Part 1 of the "Who Killed Bobby Kennedy" series, I presented original documents, trial testimony, Sirhan's own words in press interviews and in court for the prosecution, and arguments from conspiracy researcher Lisa Pease (author of the book "A Lie Too Big To Fail") for the defense, as well as #RFKJr, who also advocates for Sirhan's parole. In Part 2 I explained why Sirhan is considered a hero in #Palestine to this day for killing #RFK over the Senator's support for #Israel. As Sirhan himself told reporters: "If I had been tried in an Arab country, no Arab court ever would have convicted me." Sirhan's act of political violence inspired many later acts of #terrorism, aircraft hijackings, bombings, kidnappings, hostage-taking, and murders. His release from prison was demanded on numerous occasions by Palestinian terrorists over the past 50 years. Part 3 contains our 2.5 hour in-depth interview with #JFK/RFK historian and expert James DiEugenio, author of "The Assassinations" (with Lisa Pease) and screenwriter for Oliver Stone's "JFK Revisited" documentary film series. DeEugenio makes a compelling case for conspiracy, and argues that Sirhan could not have fired the shots that killed Kennedy. This week on Maverick News, my co-host Rick Walker asked me why I have recently changed my mind after 25 years of believing Sirhan was innocent to now being convinced of his guilt. Over the course of researching this case for more than 35 years I've revised my views more than once, based upon where the facts and evidence lead. I'll explain my own conclusions in Part 4 tonight at 9 PM Eastern. Don't miss this one!

Robert F. #Kennedy Jr.’s consideration of New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers as his running mate is sparking backlash and raising fresh scrutiny over the athlete’s past controversial comments. Rodgers is one of a few candidates that #RFKJr’s campaign confirmed is on its shortlist for vice president ahead of an announcement set for Tuesday, March 26th. If chosen, Rodgers would be a high-profile name for Kennedy’s ticket as he tries to gain steam for his independent bid. But while strategists from both sides of the aisle said a pick like Rodgers may help Kennedy get more of the attention he desires for his candidacy, it could also plague him with controversy amid scrutiny over the future Pro Football Hall of Famer’s past statements on the Sandy Hook shooting and vaccines. In this highlight from Episode 30 of “Strange Bedfellows” we discussed whether Rodgers is still in the running for VP and whether a new CNN report alleging the NFL star’s alleged 2013 denial of the Sandy Hook school shooting is #FakeNews.

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura was on the short list of names selected by 2024 Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a possible running mate. Ventura shocked the world in 1998 when he became the first Independent candidate to win a major Governorship, beating 25-year incumbent Hubert Humphrey III, who was at the time backed by the Clinton White House and the entire Democratic party establishment. Gov. Ventura endorsed #RFKJr at a rally last month in Tuscon, Arizona, and has privately indicated he would be interested in running with #Kennedy as his vice presidential running mate this year.

2024 Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will announce his running mate March 26th. (Tune in for live team coverage on Maverick News starting at 1:30 P.M. Eastern.) When #RFKJr's short list of possible VP's was leaked to the New York Times last week, one name was conspicuously absent -- a name that seems an obvious and perfect pick. At an event in Austin last Friday, Mr. #Kennedy dismissed rumors about the leaked short list, saying that he has already made his decision, and it's not anyone named on the leaked list. Hmm... who will it be, then? Here's who we think it might be. Watch the premiere at 8 A.M. Eastern today! Thanks for watching!

2024 Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will announce his running mate in Oakland, California on March 26, his campaign said Wednesday. #RFKJr’s alleged short list of possible running mates was published in the New York Times this week. The short list of about 10 names reportedly included controversial #NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, “Dirty Jobs” producer Mike Rowe, Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura. There’s only one problem with the short list published by the Times: Mr. Kennedy’s actual pick wasn’t on it! The controversy turned out to be completely #FakeNews. We will separate fact from fiction tonight at 9 P.M. Eastern on “Strange Bedfellows.” On Episode 30, we welcome as our guest Billy Dees, whose podcast I appeared on this week. We had a delightful but all-too-brief conversation about the #Kennedy24 campaign, which he’s covered extensively on previous episodes of his program. Seems like a 30 minute chat with Dees barely scratched the surface, so I wanted to bring him on “Strange Bedfellows” where we have a full two hours to really take a deep dive into the #RFK VP rumors, possible running mates for Mr. Kennedy, and discuss how the legacy media sent a lie halfway around the world before the truth could get its pants on.

55 years ago this month, the trial of Sirhan Sirhan got underway for the murder of 1968 Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. #Kennedy. The trial lasted three months. Eventually the jury found him guilty of first degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder (five counts; one for each of the other people Sirhan shot). The official motive for Sirhan’s murder of #RFK was “anti-#Zionism.” After he was captured by Kennedy’s bodyguards, witnesses in the Ambassador Hotel kitchen heard Sirhan say: “I can explain. I did it for my country. I love my country." On Episode 20 of the "Kennedy Americans" podcast, we took a deep dive into the evidence for both the prosecution and the defense. Was Sirhan a mind-controlled patsy, or a Palestinian terrorist? Whether Sirhan fired the fatal shots that killed #RFK or not -- a topic that is still debated among historians of the case today -- there is no doubt that Sirhan is heralded as a hero in the Palestinian Liberation Movement for assassinating Senator Kennedy (an act Sirhan claims he has no memory of). Shortly after the RFK assassination, Al #Fatah, the Arab Commando organization, distributed thousands of posters with pictures of Sirhan over the words, “I did it for my country!" In September 1970 the Popular Front for the Liberation of #Palestine (PFLP) hijacked three passenger planes and demanded the release of Sirhan Sirhan from prison. After releasing the hostages, the Palestinian hijackers blew up one of the planes on a Cairo runway "in retaliation for the United States' support of #Israel." Three Arabs hijacked a West German jumbo jet in February 1972 on which RFK's eldest son Joseph P. Kennedy (then 19 years old) was a passenger. The plane, on a flight from New Delhi to Athens, landed safely eight hours later at Aden, Southern #Yemen. That specific flight was targeted because the terrorists knew Kennedy would be on board. In 1973, when the Black September group burst into the embassy of Saudi Arabia in Khartoum and took 10 hostages, their demands included the release of Sirhan Sirhan from prison. Sirhan told David Frost in a 1989 interview: "I wanted to show that the Palestinian problem didn't just erupt with the assassination of #Kennedy," a reference to the displacement of Palestinians after the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. "If I had shot Bobby Kennedy in an Arab country, I doubt any Arab court would have convicted me," he said with a smile. By killing RFK Sirhan advanced the cause of the Palestinians, a cause which promoted the return of Arab land from the state of Israel. He told Robert Kaiser in 1969, "They (the Palestinians) want action. They want results. Hey! I produced action for them. I'm a big hero over there." Sirhan Sirhan is now 79. If he is ever released on parole he will most likely be deported immediately back to Palestine or Jordan because he is not a U.S. citizen. Will he receive a hero's welcome in the Arab world? We can only wonder. In this highlight from Episode 24 of "Strange Bedfellows" I discuss with guest Caleb Maupin growing concerns over #RFKJr's safety as he now finds himself treading the same dangerous waters that inflamed his father's convicted killer: campaigning for president on an antiwar platform while staunchly supporting Israel's war against #Hamas, attracting death threats from mentally ill stalkers and political fanatics while left unprotected by the U.S. Secret Service.

The Los Angeles District Attorney filed criminal charges against #RFK stalker Jonathan Macht on Dec. 28, 2023 alleging that he disobeyed a Restraining Order. Two additional criminal charges were filed against Macht for Trespassing, and Harassment Through Repeated Phone Calls. Macht's arraignment and plea hearing is set for January 29. Last November, #Kennedy filed a petition for a restraining order after Macht allegedly showed up at his Brentwood home and tried to make contact while Kennedy and his family were home. The politician’s security team caught Macht after he climbed over a fence in the backside of Kennedy’s house. The police arrived at the home and served Macht with an emergency protective order. He was taken to jail and released hours later. Macht returned to the Kennedy home and scaled the fence a second time that same day, resulting in a second arrest by Los Angeles Police. Macht had been stalking #RFKJr for months, sending him more than 400 emails containing violent threats against him. A judge granted Kennedy's request for a Permanent Restraining Order against Jonathan Macht in November. This week, Kennedy asked the court to add his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, to the list of people protected by the Order. The court denied the request because Kennedy “has not filed either an amended petition or stipulation, as requested by the Court’s” order. However, the judge set a hearing for January 31 where Kennedy can present additional documents to convince the judge. The restraining order against Macht remains in full effect. I've been covering the case of Jonathan Macht, as well as the other criminal case against Adrian Paul Aispuro (the heavily-armed man who showed up at an RFK event last September) in the Los Angeles County Courts. I'll bring you the latest updates on Episode 21 of the "Kennedy Americans" podcast Friday, January 12 at 9 P.M. Eastern.

Since a judge unsealed thousands of documents related to Jeffrey #Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell last week, I've been asked many times if there are any big revelations about #RFKJr in them.

Crime. Addiction. Despair. Fear. Illness. Wars abroad, and escalating political violence at home. Americans are ailing, our country is sick. Many still have not recovered -- financially, physically, mentally, and spiritually -- from the impact of the pandemic, and are still struggling to return to "normal" again. As the third anniversary of #January6th just reminded us, Americans are still very angry and deeply divided. A growing number in recent surveys say they support the use of violence to achieve political ends. That's a troubling sign as we head into another election year, considering that half the country does not believe the results of the last election were legitimate. In this highlight from Episode 23 of "Strange Bedfellows" I spoke to Karen Lorre, a life coach and spiritual healer, about how we can heal our sick society. Karen shared some inspiring and helpful actions we as individuals can take every day to make this country -- and our world -- a more loving and joyful place. Karen has been a personal friend of 2024 Independent presidential candidate #RFKJr for over 30 years. She says #Kennedy is the Remedy to healing #America's political divide. If this really is a "battle for the soul of America" -- as Joe #Biden said four years ago -- neither Biden nor #Trump bring to the table a message or policies that will heal our country. Karen says only #RFK can do that (and I agree!). This was an uplifting, inspiring conversation.

Karen later retired from acting, and became alife coach and spiritual healer. She has written three books:Chronic Pleasure, Use The Law of Attraction to Transmute Fatigue and Pain into Vibrant Energy;Effortless Enchantment, A Memoir of Magic, Magnetism and Miracles,andChronic Pleasure in Relationships.

When he was arrested after the #RFK assassination, one of #Sirhan Sirhan’s appellate lawyers says there was a newspaper clipping in Sirhan’s pocket that discussed the incongruity of Sen. Robert Kennedy’s advocacy for the oppressed while also supporting #Israel over #Palestine. Sirhan’s friend and appellate attorney says he cannot be certain there was not some sort of conspiracy, but has little doubt Sirhan shot Kennedy. “Sirhan never said there was somebody else,” Abdeen Jabara insists. The official motive for Sirhan’s murder of #RFK was “anti-#Zionism.” After he was captured by Kennedy’s bodyguards, witnesses in the Ambassador Hotel kitchen heard Sirhan say: “I can explain. I did it for my country. I love my country." On Episode 20 of the "Kennedy Americans" podcast, we take a deep dive into the debate over RFK's convicted killer Sirhan's innocence or guilt. Was he a mind-controlled patsy, or a Palestinian terrorist? Whether Sirhan's motives were political or not, he has been heralded as a hero in the Palestinian Liberation Movement for assassinating Robert F. Kennedy (an act Sirhan claims he has no memory of). Shortly after the RFK assassination, Al Fatah, the Arab Commando organization, distributed thousands of posters with pictures of Sirhan over the words, “I did it for my country! “ In 1973, when the Black September group burst into the embassy of Saudi Arabia in Khartoum and took 10 hostages, their demands included the release of Sirhan Sirhan from prison. Sirhan told David Frost in a 1989 interview: "I wanted to show that the Palestinian problem didn't just erupt with the assassination of #Kennedy," a reference to the displacement of Palestinians after the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. "If I had shot Bobby Kennedy in an Arab country, I doubt any Arab court would have convicted me," he said with a smile. By killing RFK Sirhan advanced the cause of the Palestinians, a cause which promoted the return of Arab land from the state of Israel. He told Robert Kaiser in 1969, "They (the Palestinians) want action. They want results. Hey! I produced action for them. I'm a big hero over there." Sirhan’s guilty plea, conviction, and strong anti-Israel motives do not necessarily exclude the possibility of other gunmen present who may have delivered the fatal shots to Kennedy, as some historians suggest. However, the fact remains that Sirhan did fire and hit 5 other people that night -- even if his shots did not strike Kennedy. In this episode we will explore the theories of mind control and blanks fired from Sirhan's gun advanced by case researcher Lisa Pease. We'll discuss my late friend Paul Schrade's efforts to get the case re-opened, and how he finally convinced #RFKJr that Sirhan could not have acted alone. We will also dive into the dispute between the RFK family members over parole for Sirhan, which was denied for the 17th time in 2023. Sirhan Sirhan is now 79. If he is ever released on parole he will most likely be deported immediately back to Palestine or Jordan because he is not a U.S. citizen. Will he receive a hero's welcome in the Arab world? We can only wonder. Finally, we address concerns over #RFKJr's safety as he now finds himself treading the same dangerous waters that inflamed his father's convicted killer: campaigning for president on an antiwar platform while staunchly supporting Israel's war against #Hamas, attracting death threats from mentally ill stalkers and pro-Palestine fanatics while left unprotected by the U.S. Secret Service.

Macht wrote over 400 threatening emails to Mr. Kennedy, attempted to break into #RFK's house twice, and has said he will "put a bullet in (Kennedy's) brain." I've been covering Macht's court case in Los Angeles and will have an update for you next week on the "Kennedy Americans" podcast.

In this “Best of Strange Bedfellows” highlight from Episode 22 (original air date: Nov. 25, 2023) we talked to #JFK historian Jim DiEugenio on the 60th anniversary of the #JFKAssassination. James DiEugenio is the editor of KennedysAndKing.com, and the author of five books about the assassinations of the 1960s. He wrote the screenplay for Oliver Stone’s “JFK Revisited” documentary series and is a co-author of the new book “Chokeholds: Proof There Was A Conspiracy in the JFK Assassination.” A viewer from Ontario asked Jim, “why has the #Kennedy family remained silent all these years about any possibility of a #conspiracy in the murders of President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy?” We delve into that mystery, and talk about why 2024 presidential candidate #RFKJr reversed that trend when he became the first (and only) member of the #Kennedys to ask questions about what really happened to his father and his uncle.

In this excerpt from Episode 17 of the "Kennedy Americans" podcast I gave a brief summary of #RFKJr's policy on the #Israel-#Hamas war, and #Palestine. I also delved into the #Kennedy family's long history of support for Israel, and spoke about the #RFK assassination's impact on his son, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who, unlike most of his siblings and his mother, does not believe that Sirhan Sirhan is guilty. To this day, 55 years after the assassination, most of the RFK family believes that #RFK was shot by a Palestinian assassin over his Senate vote for aid to Israel -- a tragic event which further cemented the family's support for Israel.

This week I dropped in on "The Backstory" with Rachel Blevins (Sputnik Radio) to discuss 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. #Kennedy Jr.'s latest poll numbers that show him gaining on President #Biden and former president Donald #Trump. #RFK is surging forward with an impressive 20-24% -- and in a three-way-race beats both Trump and Biden with young #GenZ voters in new polling. We also talked about #RFKJr's policies on the #Israel/#Palestine conflict, the war in #Gaza, his proposed economic policies, and the 60th anniversary of the #JFKAssassination today. #JFK60.

Even before #RFKJr left the #Democrats to run as an Independent presidential candidate, pundits already started speculating, "who will he hurt most, #Biden or #Trump?" #Kennedy says he thinks he will take votes equally from both. I predict Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will actually take far more votes away from Donald Trump than he will President Joe Biden. Based on my interactions with thousands of #Republican voters and #Kennedy24 campaign volunteers, I see him generating tremendous excitement among #GOP stalwarts, particularly with the #MAGA faithful. In this recent highlight from Episode 16 of "Strange Bedfellows" I spoke with Trump ally Tyler Nixon, also a longtime friend of Roger Stone. Nixon attended Bobby Kennedy's speech in Philadelphia two weeks ago in which he declared his Independence, and in this interview Tyler shared with me why he's giving #RFK serious consideration. His reasons I've heard articulated by thousands of former Trump voters after six months as a volunteer recruiter for the Kennedy campaign, as to why they're making the switch from Trump to Kennedy. If Team Trump isn't worried yet, they should be. Look out, President Trump! Kennedy's coming for you!

Former Ohio Congressman and two-time presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has served as #RFKJr's campaign manager since the start, and is now handing over the reins to #Kennedy's daughter-in-law, Amaryllis Fox-Kennedy, effective immediately. Kucinich's announcement that he was leaving #Kennedy24 came as a surprise even to some campaign staffers, just a few days after Kucinich was onstage with Kennedy at a campaign rally in Philadelphia to declare #RFK's independence from the Democratic Party. It appears that Kennedy and Kucinich parted on good terms (they've been friends for 30 years). In a statement, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. saidof the change: “The campaign benefited enormously from the political experience of Dennis Kucinich. Dennis Kucinich has been a moral center in American politics for more than five decades. This campaign would never have experienced tremendous success during the past six months except for the leadership, wisdom, and experience he brought. We will continue to profit from his advice and judgment as we go forward.” The campaign news release does not quote #Kucinich or otherwise explain his departure. In a phone call, Kucinich confirmed to Cleveland.com he is no longer with the campaign but declined to elaborate. “I’m not doing interviews on that,” he said. On this week's episode of "Strange Bedfellows" Rick and I discussed the possible reasons for Dennis' sudden departure from the campaign, and how the announcement has been received by Bobby's core base of supporters. We also ponder why a former CIA officer is now running the campaign. Even if it's all in the family (talk about Strange Bedfellows!), we think this one's going to be a hard sell given Kennedy's outspokenness about Agency involvement in the #JFK assassination. How can he convince his supporters that this isn't a hostile Deep State takeover of his campaign?

2024 Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr. released a video Friday teasing a "big announcement" he will be making in Philadelphia October 9th. By all indications, #RFKJr has made up his mind to finally divorce the Democratic Party and continue his run for the White House as either a Third Party or Independent candidate. But which way will he turn? Will he take the #Libertarian boulevard, the #Republican Easy Street, the #GreenParty highway, or the Independent road less traveled?

After an unhinged armed man showed up at one of the presidential candidate's speeches in Los Angeles last week, Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr. is now renewing his request to the #Biden administration for Secret Service protection -- IMMEDIATELY. #RFKJr's previous request for a Secret Service detail back in May was denied. Kennedy Campaign Manager Dennis Kucinich sent a letter to President Biden urging him to provide Democratic Presidential CandidateRobert F. Kennedy, Jr.Secret Service protection on September 18, three days after the troubling incident in L.A. Here’s Kucinich’s letter: Dear President Biden, This past Friday in Los Angeles, at a Hispanic Heritage event, a gunman posing as a U.S. Marshall sought to gain entrance to the venue where Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was about to speak. The man was carrying a fully loaded weapon and was accompanied by a second individual who carried additional weapons and ammunition. He was intercepted by a private security detail before he could harm anyone, and arrested by the LAPD. The threat level to our candidate, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is increasing every day. He is not the only one in danger — every person who attends a campaign event is at risk. A specter of violence haunts our political process. Indeed, political assassinations pose a grave threat to democracy. It is not hard to imagine the civil chaos and political disintegration that could ensue with the return of the kind of assassinations of public officials and presidential candidates that marred the 1960s. This ever-present threat of violence is something you are well aware of given the security requirements for you and members of your family. It is astonishing that under such circumstances, you would deny Secret Service coverage to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has polled more than 20% in the first five primary states, and whose net favorability rating exceeds both yours and Donald Trump's. Although it is a well-known historical fact, apparently in your case it bears repeating: Mr. Kennedy's uncle, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated. Mr. Kennedy's father, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, was assassinated while a presidential candidate. The American psyche still bears the scars of those devastating events. Together with the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., they sent America into a tailspin from which many believe the country has not yet recovered. I served in Congress for 16 years and joined you on the campaign trail in one of two efforts I made to gain the Democratic nomination. You and I have known each other for more than 50 years. I know that you do not want to see America reeling again from the consequences of another political assassination. Therefore, I ask you in the spirit of patriotism, of fairness, and of good conscience to grant Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. the Secret Service protection that his circumstances so obviously warrant. Sincerely, Dennis J, Kucinich Member of Congress, 1997-2013 Campaign Manager, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for President Watch our panel discussion on Episode 13 of "Strange Bedfellows" with guests Jim DiEugenio, Kennedy historian and author of Oliver Stone's new "#JFK Revisited" documentary, plus #RFK assassination historian Lisa Pease, author of "A Lie Too Big to Fail." We talk about why the Biden administration is still denying Kennedy the Secret Service protection he needs, and whether the Secret Service would actually do a proper job of protecting Kennedy in light of their failure to protect President John F. Kennedy. Also, we discuss the ongoing efforts to get the long-awaited JFK Files released, and get a preview of some important upcoming events marking the 60th anniversary of the assassination this November 22.

omething pretty significant happened at Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr.'s Hispanic Heritage Month event in Los Angeles last Friday, but it's not what you heard about in the media. Naturally, all eyes were focused on the bizarre incident prior to his speech -- a heavily-armed man claiming to be a security guard (44 year-old Adrian Paul Aispuro) was arrested for carrying several weapons on him, including three guns and several knives. Yet, the thing the media and most importantly, the voters, ought to be paying attention to is not what occurred before the speech, but what Kennedy said in his speech that night. Towards the end of his hourlong address, #RFKJr went off script and just started speaking from the heart -- perhaps a release of his own pent-up feelings after surviving a potential assassination attempt shortly before taking the stage. I've heard Bobby Kennedy give hundreds of speeches over the last 20 years (and there have been many great ones) but these extemporaneous remarks in Los Angeles last week were so powerful, I want to amplify these words to ensure they are not overlooked or forgotten. It's unfortunate this speech was overshadowed by the events of such a strange day. Please take a few minutes to watch. After the speech, #JFK/#RFK historians Jim DiEugenio and Lisa Pease provide analysis in our panel discussion of these weighty words spoken by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. If you enjoyed this highlight, watch Episode 13 in the "Strange Bedfellows" (Full Episodes) podcast playlist on my YouTube channel.

On Episode 13 of "Strange Bedfellows" we explored the possibility that Adrian Paul Aispuro, the heavily-armed man arrested at an #RFKJr event in Los Angeles September 15, could have been brainwashed. Our panel is Jim DiEugenio, #Kennedy historian and author/screenwriter for Oliver Stone's new documentary "#JFK Revisited," and Lisa Pease, author of "A Lie Too Big to Fail" about the 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, Sr. at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Both of our panelists are well-versed in the history of the CIA's MK-ULTRA and other mind control programs. Pease has done extensive research into hypnotic suggestion and programming of the mind. She concludes in her book that #RFK's convicted killer Sirhan Sirhan was a victim of MK-ULTRA brainwashing. Aispuro, the suspect in this case, shows all of the telltale signs of someone who has had some crazy suggestions placed in his head, but was he programmed to kill? Or is he just a mentally ill person who genuinely thought he was at Kennedy's speech to protect him? Mr. Aispuro showed up to RFK's event wearing a U.S. Marshal's badge, carrying two loaded holstered guns, another gun in a backpack, extra ammo, and several knives. He tried to approach Mr. Kennedy by claiming he was a member of Kennedy's private security team. In Aispuro's public comments, he revealed himself to be a #QAnon believer. Our panel delves into the Q phenomenon and the cult's bizarre infatuation with the Kennedys. We attempt to assess the threat level this may pose to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s safety and that of his family. Is QAnon an elaborate psychological operation of mind control? And is the CIA manipulating this program? Is it MK-ULTRA for the 21st Century? We discuss.

In this highlight from Episode 13 of "Strange Bedfellows" we bring you the latest information on the heavily-armed man arrested at presidential candidate Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr.'s speech in Los Angeles Friday night, September 15. The alleged assailant has been identified as Adrian Paul Aispuro, 44. He was charged with carrying a concealed weapon (a felony in L.A.) and booked on $35,000 bail. Aispuro’s brother, Raymond, was also briefly detained by LAPD, then released. Although Aispuro was wearing a federal U.S. marshal's identification badge, he has not yet been charged with any federal crimes. This special report opens with the most recent details we've obtained on Aispuro, then our panel unpacks this bizarre story. Tonight our guests are Lisa Pease, author of "A Lie Too Big To Fail" about the #RFK assassination conspiracy and Kennedy historian Jim DiEugenio, screenwriter/author who collaborated with Oliver Stone on the new documentary "#JFK Revisited."

A gunman posing as a federal agent was arrested Friday at the Wilshire Theatre in Los Angeles before #RFKJr arrived to give a planned speech. The unidentified man told arresting officers that he had been hired by the venue as private security for the event. The Los Angeles Sheriff’s department and the #Kennedy24 campaign confirmed the arrest and that the man had a gun and ammunition on him. No other information is being released about his identity or motives at this time, as the investigation is ongoing. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. posted the following statement on social media, along with a close-up photo of the alleged gunman's face. "I’m very grateful that alert and fast-acting protectors from Gavin de Becker and Associates (GDBA) spotted and detained an armed man who attempted to approach me at my Hispanic Heritage speech at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles tonight," #Kennedy wrote. "The man, wearing two shoulder holsters with loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines was carrying a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard and beltclip federal ID. He identified himself as a member of my security detail. Armed GDBA team members moved quickly to isolate and detain the man until LAPD arrived to make the arrest. I’m also grateful to LAPD for its rapid response. I’m still entertaining a hope that President Biden will allow me Secret Service protection. I am the first presidential candidate in history to whom the White House has denied a request for protection. Mr. Kennedy’s speech went on as planned Friday night after the armed man was taken away. The alleged gunman was arrested before Kennedy arrived at the venue. Ironically the Wilshire Theatre is not far from the former location of the Ambassador Hotel, where #RFK was fatally shot in 1968. A photo from the September 15th speech in Los Angeles about the border crisis. The Los Angeles Police Department told local affiliate NBC4 that the man in question did not point the weapon at anyone but was arrested on a gun charge and for impersonating a U.S. marshal. The incident happened around 4:30 p.m., the LAPD said. The LAPD said it, not the Federal Bureau of Investigation, will handle the case. Remarkably the local ABC news affiliate did not find a potential assassination attempt on a presidential candidate named Kennedy in Los Angeles newsworthy. They devoted an entirety of 15 seconds to the story on the nightly news. We at Maverick News DO find this story to be very important, and will give it the coverage it deserves (unlike the national mainstream media, which is not covering it at all). Tonight Rick Walker and I will talk about it in-depth on the Strange Bedfellows podcast, and bring you the latest updates. This is still a developing story. Please join us at 9 P.M. Eastern.

Tonight on Episode 12 of "Strange Bedfellows" my guest is Jay Sadler, host of the Jay Scott Ascension podcast. A former #Democrat (now turned Independent), Jay is currently volunteering for the #RFKJr campaign, because he says he believes that #Kennedy stands the best chance at unifying America and moving the country in the right direction. Although Jay and I are in many aspects political opposites (I'm a longtime #libertarian), we work together on the #Kennedy24 campaign and in the process have become great friends. Ultimately, we both want the same thing: to restore our country's fundamental principles of freedom, with economic prosperity and equality for all. Jay says that if Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wasn't in the presidential race, he likely would have supported Dr. Cornel West's campaign, and explains why Dr. West hit all the right notes with him. I'll ask Jay if his feelings about Dr. West have changed after the Green Party candidate's disastrous interview on the Jimmy Dore Show this week, which Dore called "a 45-minute advertisement for Joe #Biden." We also discuss those outrageous new rule changes the Democratic National Committee plans to implement which, if adopted, would effectively stop #RFK's campaign in its tracks. In an interview with Forbes Thursday, #Kennedy said for the first time since his campaign began that he is now exploring "other alternatives" to the Democratic Party - because the #Democrats are leaving him no choice. Should Kennedy dump the Dems and run with another political party? And which party would be his best bet? Or should he declare his Independence and have no party affiliation at all? We explore that and a whole lot more this week on "Strange Bedfellows."

Tonight at 9 PM Eastern on this “Best of Strange Bedfellows” highlight: Can the insurgent campaigns of #RFKJr and #CornelWest survive, or will they fold under pressure and Deep State interference? Will #Kennedy quit the Democratic Party and go Independent or third party, or will he cave and endorse President #Biden in the end? Would a third-party run by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. damage both Biden and #Trump in the 2024 general election? We explore all those questions and more on Ep. 11 of “Strange Bedfellows” with Nick Brana, national chair of The People’s Party, who initially sponsored Dr. Cornel West as a presidential candidate this June. (West later switched to the #GreenParty.) We’ll also talk about Mr. Kennedy’s #censorship lawsuit against Google and YouTube, filed in early August, and give you the latest developments that happened in a California courtroom this week. Plus we will discuss #RFK’s recent statement that he believes the CIA is using social media to do narrative control through censoring certain voices (including Kennedy himself) as well as the influencers and journalists who cover his campaign (including yours truly!).

We asked 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to speak at the August 6th #HumanityForPeace rally and concert in #NYC, but unfortunately his busy schedule on the campaign trail prevented him from being there in person. #RFKJr did very kindly make a video message in support of this event honoring the victims of #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki, and asked us to play it at the rally.

As a volunteer recruiter on the #Kennedy24 presidential campaign the most frequently asked question I get from potential voters is, "all politicians are crooks, why should I trust #RFKJr?" #Kennedy answers that question on this edition of Maverick News, with commentary from Rick Walker and Craig "Pasta" Jardula of the Convo Couch podcast, who has been traveling to cover #Kennedy's campaign in Los Angeles this week.

In this highlight from Episode 11 of "Strange Bedfellows," we asked Nick Brana, a veteran of campaigns for former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Sen. John Kerry, and #Bernie Sanders, about how campaigns are sabotaged from within. Nick reveals here the story of how the DNC and the #Clinton political machine infiltrated the Bernie campaign -- exerting subtle but undeniable control over both the candidate and the outcome of the Democratic National Convention in 2016. Brana tells us why he ultimately left the Democratic Party and Bernie behind to form the Independent #progressive People's Party, and has some advice for 2024 Democratic presidential candidate #RFKJr on how to avoid the mistakes Bernie Sanders made. Finally, we ask: has the DNCIA already succeeded in neutralizing the threat Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. might pose to their entrenched power?

2024 Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr. sat down for a lengthy interview with Tucker Carlson last week on X (formerly Twitter) and discussed a wide range of issues -- but the most eyebrow-raising moments happened when the subject of #RFK's uncle's murder came up. We will show you that exchange and discuss it in this highlight from Episode 10 of "Strange Bedfellows" with guest Mike Krupa of Poland's VotumTV.

Tonight at 5:00pm PT / 8:00pm ET, Robert F. #Kennedy will host a live broadcast with supporters all across the nation. The July 20 Congressional hearing on censorship exposed the war on the First Amendment at the highest level of the U.S. government. Mr. Kennedy showcased his unwavering support for free speech and forceful condemnation of censorship, all while calling on Congress to lead by example in healing the partisan divide. Reinvigorating the First Amendment is at the heart of this Presidential campaign. Please join us for a roundtable discussion with #RFKJr to examine how free speech became so embattled and how we restore our most hallowed Constitutional rights. Several staunch advocates for the First Amendment will join the candidate on Thursday, Aug. 17 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT to discuss this critical topic. Invited participants include: Journalists Glenn Greenwald Journalist Sharyl Attkisson Attorney Jenin Younes Former New Jersey Assemblyman Jamel Holley Each of these participants has been a steadfast supporter of the First Amendment — Greenwald broke the Edward Snowden story; Attkisson stood up to government intimidation; Younes has represented plaintiffs in Missouri v. Biden; and Holley has stood for the free exercise of religion in his state, even against the wrath of his political party.

2024 Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. deviated from much of the Democratic Party during a New Hampshire town hall, saying there is nothing policymakers can “meaningfully” do through #guncontrol to reduce the #gunviolence epidemic in America. #Kennedy, who is rivalingPresident Bidenfor the 2024 Democratic nomination, was asked by an audience member how he would use federal resources to slow gun violence. “I do not believe that there is, within that #secondamendment, that there’s anything we can meaningfully do to reduce the trade in the ownership of #guns,” #RFKJr said, “and I’m not going to take people’s guns away.” “Anybody who tells you that they’re going to be able to reduce gun violence through gun control at this point I don’t think is being realistic,” Kennedy added. His emphasis on refusing to infringe on Americans’ constitutional rights echoes a common Republican position on the limitations of responding to gun violence through gun control. Still, #RFK's answer on gun rights failed to entirely satisfy many on the pro-#2A side, and he suffered the inevitable backlash on social media from those who pointed out his previous stated position as pro-gun control. On this edition of Maverick News, we explore how Kennedy has evolved on the Second Amendment and talk about why his father's assassination led directly to the Gun Control Act of 1968 -- the first federal gun control law. We also dig in to what Kennedy says the deeper problem is in our gun violence epidemic: drugs -- both street drugs and pharmaceutical drugs. This is an important national conversation we need to have if we are going to calm the violence and heal our nation. Please watch and share.

2024 Democratic presidential hopeful Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr. hosted #ScottRitter on his podcast this week — and caught hell for it. Shortly after #RFKJr posted a tweet promoting the interview — in which Kennedy peppered Ritter with questions about the recent Wagner Group uprising in #Russia — Kennedy’s tweet was swarmed by hundreds of #NAFO trolls attacking Mr. Kennedy merely for platforming the controversial former U.N. weapons inspector. Kennedy ultimately caved to pressure and deleted the tweet. Did #RFK Jr. just throw a longtime friend under the bus to save face politically? Why didn’t his campaign staff warn him that Ritter is radioactive? We unpacked that on Maverick News here!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was scheduled to speak Thursday at #Porcfest, an annual, controversial "Woodstock for #libertarians" campout event in the New Hampshire woods. Since we already had reporters dispatched to New Hampshire this week for Tuesday's #RFKJr speech in Manchester (watch our live team coverage of that event here), Maverick News decided to send our Freedom Reporters team of Don DeBar and Quintan Center trekking up into the woods to see what was going on in this #libertarian utopia where #Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, Dennis Kucinich, Vivek Ramaswamy, Scott Horton, Matt Kibbe, and many more were scheduled to speak. Once our crew arrived at the festival and set up the livestream, we all realized after a few minutes of the broadcast that things had gone terribly, terribly, wrong. The internet and cell phone service in the woods was spotty to non-existent. The stream kept freezing, the audio was garbled and unintelligible. We had to cut away before Mr. Kennedy was finished speaking, much to the confusion and disappointment of Kennedy's fans watching live. They mistakenly thought at first we were censoring Kennedy's speech -- perhaps a reasonable concern given how often mainstream media does actually censor him. But that certainly wasn't the case here, as you will see. We tried our best to re-establish the connection to our reporters on the ground without success, leaving us to improvise live on the air to fill the scheduled time. Hilarity ensued as this shambolic broadcast went to hell in a handbasket quickly! Because the livestream quality was so unwatchable, we took the videos down from our channel archives, smashed them into a thousand pieces and scattered them to the four winds. But we did save this bit for posterity. It's just too funny not to share. Now you know what REALLY happened at #Porcfest! (DISCLOSURE: I am a volunteer recruiter on the #Kennedy24 campaign.)

Lori returned to the Misty Winston Show on TNT Radio this week to discuss how YouTube is censoring not only #RFKJr, but the journalists who cover his campaign, #Kennedy's friends and supporters -- most likely on orders from the #Biden White House. #Biden is trying to put one of his future 2024 opponents in prison -- Donald #Trump is now under indictment -- and now it appears President Biden is silencing his Democratic primary challenger, Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr., through Big Tech companies like #Google, #Meta, #Facebook, #Instagram, and #YouTube, who are colluding to make RFK Jr. invisible on their platforms. Lori's former @LoriSpencer YouTube channel was permanently BANNED from the platform on May 23, after being demonetized and punished with two strikes for merely publishing coverage of Kennedy's presidential campaign. In recent weeks YouTube has removed other popular videos about #RFKJr and imposed harsh punishments upon the channels of those who interviewed Kennedy: Mike Tyson, Theo Von, Kim Iversen, Dark Journalist, Indie News Network, Luke Rudowski, and Dr. Jordan Peterson also felt the sting of the YouTube censorship involving Kennedy. Even our host Misty Winston has had multiple strikes on her YouTube channel for questioning "election integrity." A previous interview Misty and Lori did last month also resulted in Lori's YouTube channel receiving a second strike. The video was removed and Lori's channel was permanently demonetized. Tonight, Lori and Misty talk about the chilling effect this censorship is having on YouTube creators and journalists. Now, many podcasters who would like to interview Mr. Kennedy are afraid to have him on their shows for fear of losing their YouTube channels -- often their primary source of income. YouTube is sending us a clear message: Don't talk about RFK Jr. or ELSE! (You will only find this conversation on Rumble. For obvious reasons, it's not on YouTube!)

Please join us tonight at 6 PM Eastern for our Maverick News Live Team Coverage of #RFKJr’s MAJOR Foreign Policy Speech at St. Anselm College in Manchester, NH!

In this interview with Mike Krupa ofVotum TVin Poland, Lori discusses the CIA's role in the #JFK Assassination following comments made by President Kennedy's nephew Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., saying that evidence the spy agency murdered his uncle is "beyond a reasonable doubt." Lori and Mike also talk about the escalating war between #Russia and #Ukraine, specifically how the war is affecting #Poland -- as Polish citizens suffer the consequences of their leaders' bad decisions. Watch Part 2 of this fascinating conversation!

In this interview with Mike Krupa of Votum TV in Poland, Lori discusses the red-pilling of #RFKJr over the past several years that led to his break with Democratic Party orthodoxy and "wokeness." Lori tells the story of her efforts to draft Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to run for president in 2008, and why he ultimately decided to wait until 2024. She also describes Kennedy's journey of discovery from initially refusing to discuss the assassinations of his uncle President John F. Kennedy and his father, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy to his present-day advocacy for the release of Sirhan Sirhan from prison and his presidential pledge to release all of the still-secret #JFK files. Although Lori is a volunteer on the #Kennedy24 campaign, she is a longtime #libertarian and hasn't voted for a #Democrat in nearly 30 years. She has some advice for Bobby Kennedy Jr. on how to win the White House without sacrificing his integrity or ideals. Watch this engaging interview!

I appeared as a guest with Misty Winston on the TNT Radio Network in Australia. (Original airdate May 1, 2023) We talked about the White House Correspondents Dinner, World Press Freedom Day, the Julian #Assange case, and the sad state of American journalism. We also discussed the 2024 presidential contest and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s challenge to President Joe Biden. (Full disclosure: I am a volunteer and recruiter for the #RFKJr campaign.) A great conversation you won't want to miss!

You knew this was coming. Within days of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s declaration of his 2024 presidential candidacy, YouTube brought the ban hammer down upon the heads of independent media outlets, journalists, and content creators who support #RFKJr's campaign. I got smacked down first. On April 25th, YouTube removed all episodes of a new weekly podcast posted to my Youtube channel for Kennedy's supporters and hit my channel with a strike, citing "medical misinformation." I am not allowed to post, upload, or go live on YouTube during the strike period. (The podcast, "RFK: All The Way" is now available exclusively on Rumble!) The very next day, YouTube assessed strikes against the channels of The Kim Iversen Show and Dark Journalist for previous interviews they had done with Mr. Kennedy, and removed those interviews from the platform. Then came a series of strikes against the channels of the Indie News Network and Comrade Misty's TNT Radio show for an interview about RFK Jr. she conducted with Jimmy Dore. Those episodes were also removed. Also, one of the news outlets I work for, Maverick News, was completely demonetized by YouTube and our main channel was hit by a strike Saturday, forbidding us from broadcasting on the platform entirely. What do all of these content creators have in common? We all openly support Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. That is our crime, and we cheerfully plead guilty. AOC said this week that "deplatforming works." We argue that it doesn't -- and here's why: when creators stand together in solidarity against censorship, it becomes impossible to censor our voices. When YouTube turns off one creator's microphone, another creator opens their mic to those who have been censored. When YouTube shut down my channel this week, the Welsh Republic podcast very kindly offered me the opportunity to speak on his YouTube channel and speak out about what's happening to content creators who break away from approved groupthink. When it comes to #censorship, an attack on one is an attack on all. Please listen and share this very important conversation. ___________________________________________________ Support my independent journalism at: http://LoriSpencer.WordPress.com/donate

When #ElonMusk bought #Twitter last fall, he pledged to "drain the swamp" of bad actors inside the company who were working hand-in-glove with the #Biden administration to censor the opposition. It looks like Musk still hasn't flushed them all out yet. Tonight I present clear and convincing evidence proving that Twitter is rigging political polls. Recently, I ran a poll asking Twitter users, "who gets your vote in 2024?" The choices were: President Joe Biden, former President Donald #Trump, Robert F. #Kennedy, Jr., and "Undecided/Other." Link to poll: https://twitter.com/RealLoriSpencer/status/1644570111057993728?s=20 I noticed two days into the 7-day poll that no new votes were being recorded. The poll was stuck at 918 votes -- even though the poll was still open for five more days. Numerous Twitter users sent me screenshots showing that they voted, but their votes were not being counted. The poll just simply stopped counting votes, but did it in such a way that most voters would never be the wiser. They thought they voted! This video shows you the diabolical way in which Twitter rigged my poll, and others by political groups such as the Iraq Body Count who challenge the establishment. (Audio is from a Twitter Space I co-hosted for the #RFKJr presidential campaign supporters meeting on April 14th.) Why should this concern you as we head into a heated presidential election contest? Because if it's this easy to rig a Twitter poll, think for a moment what electronic voting machines can do!

Environmental lawyer and vaccine safety activistRobert F. Kennedy Jr.has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for president in 2024 as a Democrat. The filing was confirmed by his campaign treasurer, John E. Sullivan. Kennedy will officially announce his candidacy on April 19 in Boston, his campaign said. The 69-year-old is the son of former New York senator, US attorney general and assassinated 1968 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of the late PresidentJohn F. Kennedy. On this edition of Maverick News we compare #RFKJr and #Trump on the key issues, especially Trump's Covid response in 2020 and Operation Warp Speed. Also, we explore the possibility of #RFK peeling votes away from Donald #Trump: will #MAGA voters give #Kennedy a chance?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. -- who is currently exploring a possible 2024 run for President -- was demonized as Public Enemy #2 for the past three years, in close competition with Alex Jones (Public Enemy #1) for his skepticism about the safety and efficacy of the #Covid #Vaccines. Kennedy was listed on a White House list of the "#Disinformation Dozen," accused of "spreading medical #misinformation," banned from every social media platform, blacklisted from the mainstream media, and widely slandered merely for questioning the official government narrative. Despite all that, his book "The Real Anthony #Fauci" was a runaway bestseller. But now that all the evidence is in, we find that #RFKJr wasn't wrong about Covid vaccines being unsafe for some people. In fact, he was quite right. Kennedy (also an attorney) is taking his case to the courts, seeking legal vindication, restoration of his damaged reputation and his still-banned social media accounts. Acomplaintfiled in Texas alleges that the Trusted News Initiative, a group of media outlets led by the #BBC that works with companies like #Meta, #Google and #Twitter tocombat vaccine misinformation onlineare violatingantitrust lawsagainst anti-competitive behavior. Other TNI membersThe Washington Post, Reuters and the Associated Press were named as co-defendants. Plaintiffs including Kennedy and Children’s Health Defense, a vaccine safety activist group, allege their content has been "censored, demonetized, demoted, throttled, shadow-banned (and) excluded entirely” from social media platforms like #Facebook, #YouTube, #Twitter and #Instagram. Kennedy and the plaintiffs are seeking a jury trial, an order for the TNI to suspend any activities “with Internet companies toboycott and censorother online news publishers,” and unspecified damages. The TNI partners work to “alert each other todisinformation” so platforms can review any suspicious content quickly while publishers make sure they “don’t unwittingly republish dangerous falsehoods,” according to the BBC, which had no comment. On this edition of Maverick News, we discuss Kennedy's vindication on vaccines. We also examine actual case studies of governments and corporations in the U.K. and #Canada compensating victims for the injuries and deaths caused by #Covidvaccines. The government, big tech, and the media owe RFK Jr. a big fat apology, in our humble opinions. Not only Kennedy, but #AlexJones, and every other critic of the Covid vaccines who were censored merely for asking questions, or presenting "unapproved" information that was eventually proven true. And one final point: in light of the surveillance videos obtained by #Tucker Carlson last week showing what really happened on #January6, we call for the release of the #QShaman and all nonviolent prisoners still being held on charges related to the U.S. Capitol Riot. There is nothing more American than questioning your government. Never let the government, the media, or anyone else tell you otherwise.
