President Trump reminds me of George Washington making an alliance with the French after fighting them in war 30 years previously. Co-belligerents united to destroy the Left!
Le Art of za Deal!
France hated the British more than they loved George.
cheap meaningless price to pay for the endorsement … Kennedy is now off the board completely … electoral wise …
Here’s my one cent worth. (used to be two cents but 50% Biden/Harris inflation cut into it.)
First I read through every comment that were posted at this time. Like a lot of the comments, I was appalled by the J6 comments at beginning at the 13.50 mark and was so smoking mad that I had to pause the video and walk off for a while.
After listening to that little section over and over again, I noticed that RFK jr. mention that much of the hate he received from Democrats was “look at what Trump did on J6”. That’s when RFK jr said he thought it was reprehensible what Trump did on J6. That’s when I asked myself, I wonder if this is a strategy?
I further thought and realized who is the target audience of RFK jr.’s interviews? It is not the MAGA base as Trump already has us. The target voter is the disillusioned, “blue dog”, fed up, moderate, etc. type Democrats who were never going to vote for Trump or Biden then Harris.
The types who are supporting RFK jr. actually believe that J6 and Trump on that day were reprehensible due to all the MSM and Social Media brainwashing propaganda. Therefore, RFK jr. threw them some raw, red meat with that statement with a qualifier……… was the Republic really at risk on that day?
At that point he begins to explain about the disinformation, misinformation and malinformation of the IC agencies in bed with the social media companies, all media and the section 230 immunity removal threat from the regime if they didn’t co-operate.
At the 24.20 mark answering Tucker’s question, RFK jr talks about ‘tribalism” and how to deprogram somebody from their orthodoxy. Notice RFK jr. says if you attack them head on that just cements their thoughts deeper. Then RFK jr. explains his decision to endorse Trump.
Accordingly, after my initial anger at the Trump reprehensible remark, to the tribalism deprogramming remarks, to the Trump endorsement, I began to think that RFK jr is trying to get his followers to deprogram, and think about saving the country by joining in the movement to oust the corrupt elites by leaving the blind tribalism behind.
Like President Trump, RFK jr explains that he sees the tyranny, control, Marxism, and corporatism in the elites of the Democrat Party along with the controlled opposition Republican elites (Uniparty) with the power of Big Pharma, Big Ag, Corporate Media, Social Media, etc.
I also remember, that I did not and have not been put through the media wringer, the dozens of lawfare cases, and one quarter of an inch from having my head blown off by an assassin. (most likely in conjunction with the rotten IC) like President Trump. Hence, President Trump can decide who, how, when and where he runs his campaign. I’ll stand with him.
In closing, I personally don’t fully trust RFK jr, but I can see where he is going with this. Therefore, I will cut him some slack on that reprehensible remark as a strategy for his target voters. It is President Trump’s decision how far he wants RFK jr. to go. That’s my one cent.
Thank you WVcoalman. I watched the interview you watched too, and I think I felt I was being brainwashed by a very well scripted and svelt story by RFK, Jr.
Honestly I am over RFK,Jr. already. I still have enough brains left tonight to consider that something is AFOOT when the “news” is 24/7 re the Junior.
The old saying is “what is happening behind the scenes when all eyes are being directed in another direction?” Anyone of my age remembers the deep gloom and doom that came over many parents and siblings when JFK was assassinated. I saw my Father, a Republican all of his life, sobbing while he watched the whole scene televised. Something for people to watch on the TV for the first time in the history for TV viewers.
Feel like I am being set up for another fake news takedown of another Kennedy. Can’t help what I feel, but this whole 24/7 on RFK, Jr. is giving me THE CREEPS OF DOOM. Like something from StARTREK. Aliens are approaching. Whatever.
Same
Yes! I, too, remember well when BOTH Kennedy bros were shot and killed. I was 10 when JFK was eliminated and I believe 15 when Bobby was shot. And although I was nowhere near or even thought much of politics back then I do remember the grief of the nation.
“JFK Jr. threw them some raw, rare meat.” As someone who likes to play at caveman once a month and eats raw meat on that day, I appreciate anyone who throws people some raw meat.
One of the problems is that we are brainwashed 24/7 with so called news.
As I hate local news but it is beginning to look better than the 24/7 indoctrination one gets unless they like re-runs from days gone by. That sums up what is going into so many American minds. Age is no barrier.
I adore re-runs from days gone by. They keep me reminded of what sanity looks like.
My latest was an entire rewatch of the Donna Reed Show. Feminism was just rearing its head. Interesting
Just please don’t eat your arm. We would lose your comments here on cth
Good analysis!
Thank you!
It was my instinct as well, just as well articulated.
Excellent discernment.
Interesting perspective, whether an intentional strategy or not I do believe that Trump has and will reap the benefits of his scenario with Kennedy and any problem that might arise he can handle to his advantage.
WVcoalman says “ That’s when I asked myself, I wonder if this is a strategy?”
Or… maybe this is the strategy, which seems far more plausible since RFK stated he is staying in the race to win it via an electoral tie
1. The amount of cheating necessary for Kamala to beat Trump is insurmountable.
2. Trump and Harris get their expected solid states with maybe a surprise or two.
3. Based on the those results, TPTB CAN manipulate the wins in the remaining swing states (and states with reliably corrupt fraud machines) so that the electoral count is 269/269.
4. The corrupt uniparty congress will do as they did on J6 and prevent Trump from winning with some lame, he is a felon excuse.
So get in your heads what RFK HAS CLEARLY SAID is his reason for not dropping out of the presidential race and why he IS ENCOURAGING people to vote for him.
Yes. RFK makes it harder for Kamala to win. But at least be real about what RFK has SAID he is trying to accomplish and what. CAN BE accomplished through voter fraud.
The assets have all aligned.
That’s how I have been reading a number of RFK Jr’s remarks, including the one about J6 – that he is speaking to the target audience of potential voters that are not dyed in the wool MAGA.
“President Trump can decide who, how, when and where he runs his campaign. I’ll stand with him.”
AGREE!
What RFK describes as reprehensible on the part of President Trump and the large majority of patriots who showed up on January 6th was…in fact…Free Speech! He contradicted himself there.
Although Jr has himself experienced how his own Party LawFared and rigged his demise as a candidate, and is wise to how the mainstream media, and social media influenced the 2020 election against President Trump, he hasn’t completely understood or even reconciled himself to the full dimensions of election fraud, the kind of fraud that was engineered and organized on the ground with ballots and machines. The interview avoided this subject.
It appears that Kamala has more handlers than Biden did, via this interview.
The interview also explains how the perception of Trump as dictator/tyrant would derive from the “Apparatus” (Kennedy’s word given to him by the Party), which is running the government, and handling both Biden and Kamala. The “Apparatus” would not let him have any conversation with Harris. The “Apparatus” is an Oligarchy, a dictatorship run by a ruling elite.
Conclusion: the “Apparatus” doesn’t need a candidate with some intelligence, it just needs a visible image of one, one who is projected as succeeding in the polls, especially knowing it’s election “Apparatus”will rig the outcome. RFK Jr isn’t quite there yet when it comes to understanding the full extent of organized election stealing and what it will mean to his chosen candidate actually being elected.
Battered Conservative Syndrome is a real thing.
I’m beginning to think there is no cure.
Sure, OK, now lets go win the 2024 election or there will be no transition team, cabinet , staff or America.
Nobody will grant him an interview.
He gets little to no discussion by media or in any but his dedicated little circle.
He talks with Kamala and team.
Suddenly he says he’ll stay off the ballot in a handful of states and voila – instant, massive face time to trash PDJT.
A cherry on top is his likely draw of Dems to the polls in all the other states to increase the numbers voting for Dem congressional seats.
Naw…nothing nefarious going on, cause for suspicion, or potential October surprise of a different sort – say suddenly having a change of heart and going all in for the Cackling Communist and her “coach Sandusky” VP or calling for people to write-in his name in those states he SAYS he is taking his name off.
Dems who might have voted rfk jr. are exactly the dems who refuse to vote hiden/barris. They will stay home or vote Trump is my best guess. Chill out. Not EVERYONE is a shill or agent of the deep state.
I suppose you didn’t understand the issue with said Dim voters.
First, regardless of who they vote for in the presidential race, they almost to a person will vote straight Dem in the Congressional races. THAT hurts the MAGA and GOP members that are running for Congressional seats and other positions. Thus any of those voters who come to the polls for the purpose of voting for Jr, regardless of Jr’s intentions, are most likely a NEGATIVE in every single state he stays on the ballot.
Additionally, you apparently missed what Jr himself has said, which was that 57% of the people that are voting for him would vote for PDJT if he dropped off the ballot, based upon polls that his team took. If true and the polls were anywhere near accurate, then again his staying in the race in other states puts those states at risk and potentially vulnerable to fraud for the presidential race due to being closer than they otherwise would be, regardless of their perceived status as “red”, “blue” or “swing.”
As far as “not everyone is” – that’s true – not everyone is anything, other than a human being. Simply not being a shill or part of the DS doesn’t mean that there aren’t negative consequences to their actions or that they are above board and without motives that are bad. To dismiss the possibility is burying your head in the sand…
I agree and disagree. Massive face time also to make MAGA Trump voters suddenly rabid RFK fan-boys.
That also is a possibility, though I would estimate it as a fairly low possibility in most cases due to Jr’s stances on the climate hoax (thinks its real), 2A (wants to eliminate it), and his past statements which show he has the potential to be just as totalitarian leaning as he posits the Cackler is when the topic or goal is something he approves of.
How does a former democrat with little executive experience figure to be on transition team vetting political appointees? Am I missing something that shows this is a skill he has?
The transition team, is Don Jr. Eric Trump, JD Vance and close friends of PT. Don Jr. told Glenn Beck, the reason he, Eric and JD are on it, so the swamp, dirty back stabbers, won’t be making the decisions, like in 2016. They didn’t know anyone and got ambushed and that wasn’t going to happen again.
There’s a Kennedy “ego” It’s more than ego, it’s a belief that one is a sort of royalty and is inherently an important national figure and not a second fiddle and so his input will be valued.
– All TDS criticisms of Trump as narcissistic are now moot as he welcomed such an ego as RFK’s. I believe Trump did it to win so that Trump would have the opportunity to help this country.
(I have met & talked with Trump. I have Never met RFK Jr).
Then how do you explain PDJT’s decisions regarding RFK Jr.?
Oh boy.
Where’s kitty?
The three main issues that RFK Jr said convinced him were: 1)free speech, 2)health for American people and particularly young people, and 3) getting out of unnecessary wars (particularly Ukraine). I agree with him on ALL THREE of these issues. I don’t want RFK Jr. as my president, but I’m happy to have him as an ally, particularly if it cuts into Kamala’s vote.
How Kamala’s campaign treated RFK Jr. vs how Trump’s campaign treated him is quite illustrative of the operating philosophies of the two campaigns–control and oligarchic (Kamala team) and consultative and coalition based (Trump team). Here again I find that believable and more in line with what I think will work.
Face the fact that Trump is a moderate, not a hard-line conservative. Pres. Trump defaults to common sense approaches that SOLVE PROBLEMS for the country, and respect our traditions of liberty. That works for me.
FWIW, it is also interesting to hear what RFK Jr. says about how Teddy Kennedy liked Reagan because Reagan made Americans proud of our country. I personally loathe a lot of what Teddy Kennedy did, including his role in promoting immigration. That said, I am a realist and want Trump to WIN. Having RFK Jr. as an ally helps that.
Yes politics is rife with machinations…but in this instance I think the decision was straightforward.
With Kennedy having any authority whatsoever on staffing, the place will be crawling with spooks and their acolytes.
Already, Kennedy is insulting President Trump and blaming him for J6, calling his actions reprehensible. And of course Tucker sits there nodding… silently. While the dutiful seals clap clap clap for Kennedy, whom only 3 short months ago was calling President Trump a dangerous monster. Sorry, I cannot square that circle.
Unity my ass. One does not unite with evil.
Lord help us all.
WE are at a standoff in this country…are we not? Bold moves must happen and fighting with “word salad” isn’t going to win anything.
We must return to the Constitution and make sure that laws are followed when dealing with criminals. We also have had immigration laws that worked well and now we have an invasion in this country.
Alleycats, I ask, what is your solution to returning this country to a beautiful place to live? Who would you place in power to secure the future of your children and grandchildren? Don’t forget that Mitch McConnell and others have been sold out for longer than most Americans have been alive. He has many friends in the same CCP boat that he decided to defend!
Name one bold move Kennedy will accomplish that restores our functional economy, seals our border, deports all of the invaders, stops the FISA abuse, shrinks the size of government.. I could go on and on.
Kennedy will not accomplish any of those because Trump will not put him in control of any of those. Trump has him there in campaign to only to add votes to Trump and drain votes from Harris, which will succeed. The rest is window dressing.
That is the continuing fallacy. That Donald Trump somehow NEEDS Kennedy.
President Trump can fill stadiums and airports and fields with tens of thousands of cheering supporters while having tens of thousands of onlookers outside the gates of those same events. Some of which had one day notice
Never had to say “Kennedy”to do any of it.
All of this absurd Kennedy tongue bathing is making me ill.
The whole Kennedy crap is one big OP and I ain’t falling for it.
I agree! If RFJ JR was altruistic in his endorsement of Trump he wouldn’t have needed anything in return and wouldn’t have gone to Camp Kameltoe first. He’s in it to gain something for himself. The fact that people are so willing to come to his defense and praise this endorsement is beyond me! Where have you been for the last 4 years!!!!!
Trump doesn’t need Kennedy. Kennedy can join the club, but he gets no leadership role. That has to be earned by more than an endorsement and a Tucker interview. Same goes for Elon, Tulsi, and the rest of the new MAGA coalition.
There is zero evidence Kennedy drains a single vote from Harris.
100
Amen!!!
Yep.
Sundance’s lack of follow up commentary or opinion on this article and Tulsi’s article is an indication of what exactly. Guarded optimism, researching facts for his cogent opinion, serious concern about P Trump doling out too much decision making or other reasons. Maybe, he was just too busy which is possible.
Adding “former” Democrats should gain votes for PT as they each add new perspectives on issues not prominent in his original campaign. So far, I think Bobby’s and Tulsi’s endorsements and assistance are a positive. But are some elected Republicans et al that have actively supported PT for years becoming concerned about being marginalized or that the MAGA platform will have to compete with new issues ?
I think and hope the answer is no, but I also wonder if the unreliable polls are distorting P Trump’s need to reach out to Dems to gain more votes. If logic and sanity decided the election, Trump would win in a landslide but the powerful propaganda machines still easily dupe millions.
Trump is pushing for Unity and to Make America Great Again. He can’t do worse than the old GOP.
Trump is building a team of people who are focusing on what people agree on and not what keeps us apart.
There is no perfect person. Absolutist be damned.
Let’s win this damn election…
I would like to see RFK Jr. help with a Make America Healthy Again, team.
He is right about our “vaccines” and crappy food and bad food advice
We do need to clean that up but nothing beyond that.
Oh I don’t know…to have him help dismantle the CIA, and FBI would be real bonus. His comments on that are enlightening. And to hear Tucker call Pompeo a criminal is jaw dropping. He said,” let him sue me for saying that..I hope he does, but he won’t. “
RFKjr is not really an ally for Trump but politics makes strange bedfellows, as they say. Kennedy here says it is possible for him to win the Presidency if Trump and Harris tie at 269 each and the decision goes to Congress.
Well,might happen but Trump gains Kennedy removing his name from all swing states if he accepts his endorsement. Kennedy gains publicity.
Also, I think the appeal of Kennedy is that he is telling us the truth about politics. He is also being persecuted by the lawfare as Trump is being persecuted. They are a team of rivals.
How many people does Trump have in his circle who understand his daily situation?
Also, I don’t agree with Kennedy about climate change but he is talking here about the environment and preserving the wilderness because it connects us to the divine and and the problem is toxins, not global warming. That’s conservation not manipulation.
He says we have to revitalize the soil and it can absorb the carbon problem. These are issues I can understand as actually being helpful to the earth and our place in it.
I am on the same page as you. Caring about the environment is not the same as the CC ideology. Conservatism is about preservation of traditions, values etc. and keeping the earth healthy makes us healthy. Big pharma and Big Agra need to be taken on. We bought his book on Fauci shortly after it came out. You can’t be faint of heart and write that book with all the big guns pointing at you.
Agree. I admire Kennedy’s past as for taking on those destroying our Government and Health.
There is no carbon problem. First of the big climate lies.
Can we focus on the good for a change?
We focus on Truth. Nothing else matters.
I am excited to think about enacting Trump’s economic agenda, and RFK Jr’s health agenda, and their united anti-war, anti-Swamp agenda.
wow! look at all the press RFK, Jr is receiving since he aligned himself with President Trump.
Ugh. JaVanka 2.0?
This gives RFK some input on slots such as Sec of Agriculture, HHS, Commerce, EPA, and director of science and technology. If RFK is going to achieve his goals, this is an essential move.
Can too much authority be given to him? Yes, in the sense of him extending his reach beyond the his stated core concerns. But Trump and RFK have had candid talks, including about their differences, and I think his role will be tightly defined. This bears watching, but should not be much of a problem.
IOW, this is a necessary and good move. Without it, RFK would be able to achieve little to nothing.
The plot thickens. What better place for a possible IC plant than on the Trump transition team? Even if, as some say, RFK Jr is just “one voice among many”, the potential for leaks and oppo stories designed to dirty up potential nominees is increased.
Bingo
Have we identified the IC plants from his first term as of date by name yet or are each still implanted deep within never mind the new possible recruits ?
for example: The new push by Trump for more immigrants into the USA is more than shocking and not US Citizens First what so ever so who implanted bringing in more foreigners and more mass immigration into the USA prior to even getting rid of illegals and the anchor baby debacle?
I rather teach and educate US citizens to work rather than rewarding foreigners with gainful employment and life in the USA.
I have always thought immigration replaced slavery in 1865 where slaves had to be purchased and cared for life by those who used their labor yet today immigrants are paid for and cared for by the US tax payer and not by those whose use their labor. Get It?
Mike Pompeo is a total traitor to Trump. A totally deceiving, coniving piece of work. And, at the time, I thought he was one of Trump’s better picks. How difficult to know these people and choose wisely.
I agree. I thought Jeff Sessions was an honorable man. I held out hope for Bill Barr too. It is so tough to know the real person underneath the image they project.
That is the plan.
No. Absolutely fargin not. I don’t want this guy near anything our side
You are clearly for Kamala then. Without more voters… that is what you get.
What evidence is there that all of the sudden Donald Trump cannot win without Kennedy?
Are you kidding? You believe the Deep State won’t rig it this time? Trump’s win has to be too big to rig.
There are plenty of voters on the right, who are being told not to vote for Trump because he is not pro life enough.
You live in a bubble, if you think Trump will win easily.
If the Deep State plans to rig it anyway according to you, what possible impact will Kennedy then have?
Next
Kennedy does not bring any votes with him that were not already going to Donald Trump. There is simply NO evidence to support that declaration.
Only Never Trumpers say that President Trump is not pro life enough. And we all know they are full of shit anyway so, again what impact?
Honest operations or at least honest monitors in the states’ ballot receiving and counting areas are what is going to matter most in the election.
Kennedy has not even spoken to that yet.
Then you don’t support Trump, only your purity test MAGA image of him.
Have him run the FDA.
His first test: pull the EUAs for mRNA/LNP products (Covid vaccines)
Currently the Pfizer & Moderna vaccines have BOTH FDA approval (biological license) AND EUA for the exact same products.
Meaning Pfizer/Moderna can choose what label to put on the vials
Comirnaty/Spikevax
OR
Covid Vaccine for use under Emergency Use Authorization
https://www.fda.gov/emergency-preparedness-and-response/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19/covid-19-vaccines
Give RFK CDC or health, nothing more. And what is he, the new Priebus?
I am not liking this, which feels more and more like a MAGA hi-jacking….
By Trump?
Unless Trump wins the White House, all written here is just that, “word salad” that will never see the light of day.
#1 Goal is to win the White House.
Everything else is just hope and despair being voiced by those who reject the way of the CCP.

I urge everyone to understand that when Trump is elected, the Socialists Democrats/CCP will be working like rats underground and making plans for 2028! Yes, they plan and they will win in 2028. So, they sacrifice 2024 to allow Trump to make things better for a while and then the BIG GRAB will happen in 2028. Beware.
I’m with Sundance on this one. 😬
The human gut has at least 100 million neurons and is directly connected to the brain hence the origin of “gut feelings”.
Men often try to think their way through problems when the gut is screaming HELL NO.
My gut is telling me loud and clear it is not happy about this.
2 cents.
When you are in battle you will take anyone that can shoot a gun towards the enemy.
Guns are honest and never independently turn on you.
Well, RFK’s cabinet suggestions couldn’t be any worse than Pence’s RINO traitors. It took at least a year before Trump realized he was being screwed by the deep state within.
So, listen but don’t necessarily agree with them.
WTAF?!?!
I am so tired of all the negativity on this site lately. Exhausting.
How about trusting Trump?
Sorry to rain on your happy-clappy parade with some uncomfortable facts. Go watch another episode of Pollyanna and you will feel better
Bless your heart. There are no uncomfortable facts. But to be negative all the time wins nothing.
POTUS Trump is not perfect but he is our weapon. POTUS Trump hired some very bad people last time even gave some very bad people life long positions to rule over US so our concern these very bad people are still hidden within giving very bad advice to follow again.
Example: Who advised For the hiring of Bill Barr after the Ruby Ridge debacle showed US the absolute corruption and evil within never mind Waco Texas where the US Federal government burned alive all the witnesses aka the children the gov claimed to be there to save?
Trump didn’t know the insiders and characters last time. He does now. Trump is very aware of the deep corruption.
Trump has known RFK Jr for years. He is not a dummy.
Great. A guy who says he is staying in the race so that he has a chance for Congress to hand him the presidency is getting to help pick “his” team.
If true, it’s troubling. For those in support of continuing such foolishness in a 2nd administration, tell me, cite where a modern age liberal democrat POTUS had a “team of rivals”.
POTUS in our modern age has had team of handlers.
The price of winning via a coalition strategy is being played out.
2024 is win or die at this point. The scumbag ex-DoJ employee, who works for MSNBC, spelled out the coming alternative to winning in 2024 very clearly last week ON THE AIR … “Donald Trump will end his life living broke, in misery and in prison.”
The democrats throwing in their lot with President Trump, if sincere, have placed themselves in the cross hairs with him. It is a historical fact that fascist (aka Communist) regimes coming into near total power line collaborators up on the wall to be shot, along side the leaders of the opposition.
Note that collaborators being shot would include RNC Members of the Uni-Party, because they would be considered as untrustworthy as the democrat collaborators. Something to be said about folks who do not study history.
Don’t forget the journalists. They know too much and there is always the danger of a “true believer” going AWOL.
George Soros, his father, and uncle were never punished for being collaborators but rewarded by the very people they helped slaughter en mass.
Not to discourage hope for justice but just a reminder we have been told Big Lies one of which is that collaborators unprosecuted after WWII were hunted down and killed by the alleged good guys but instead were welcomed with open arms and legs as we all have witnessed with the Soros family. The Soros family are the ones we are permitted to know by name too as there are more “like kind” entities unnamed and fully operational.
Here we go again… do you want Kamala to win?
Trump needs all the voters he can get, and by doing so he is focusing on Unity.
There is a lot of excitement around the additions on this journey.
If you think RFK is deep state… I feel sad for you.
No, it is the realization that Trump is a strategist, a realist and pragmatic. All Trump has done is gain votes for his election and drain votes from Kamala. The rest is window dressing and futures. He has reaped the benefits and paid nothing. He has brought his adversary to his advantage. First he must win, his eye is on the prize. Without the win the rest is irrelevant. Much of Trumps achievements have been unrecognizable except in hindsight as he tends to work in the background out of sight, then afterwards one wonders how he did it.
This one is one of Tucker’s best. RFK went into intimate detail of why he jumped ship. The main reason, and he explains that in detail, is the the flip flop of the political parties which he said has happened 5-times in history.
The Republican part is now thanks to Trump the party of we the people – give or take some neocons still entrenched within us. The Democrats on the other hand have become the party of the elite mega rich.
My favorite quote from RFK, and I’m paraphrasing here was:
“The reason we protect the environment is because there’s a spiritual connection… When we destroy nature, we diminish our capacity to sense the divine.”
TPTB went from:
All is lost, go home!
to
Get on board the Love Train!
All the assets have aligned.
If all is truly lost, why should I go alone and cold, calling out into the wilderness that the bridge is out up ahead?
As I always say, when you got no options, you got no problems.
Woo Hoo! Where’s the bar car. Destination dystopia!
“RFKjr says…”
Is there a source within the Trump Team, or is this just Bobby’s megalomania talking?
I trust RFK Jr. like a marine trusts the Afghan soldier he is sent out to do a mission with… I’m aware that at a moment’s notice, the “friend” might become a “foe.” If it goes down and he stands with us, then I was happy to have him, but forgive me if I keep my weapon close the whole time we’re together.
I just listened to the whole interview, and it confirms my respect for both of these men. Every topic is on target and so important.
Ditto. Especially the last 20 or so minutes where RFK Jr speaks to carbon capture vs the environmental movement he was a leader in. Brought tears to my eyes b/c Bobby summed up why so many of us worked to protect and conserve the environment. I haven’t heard such love from a politicians mouth ever.
As for getting a sense of what may be Trump’s motives you need to put in the context from J13 onward – the man was almost killed on J13 LIVE. His youngest son was there. His wife was mortified. A supporter who came out to hear his words was murdered in cold blood.
This kind of trauma changes a man, deeply.
Maybe, just maybe, he wants to take whatever goodwill was extended to him in those hours and days that followed and turn it into a MASSIVE middle finger to this evil by ensuring his win in Nov as a mandate for what must truly be done in DC.
Maybe he’s wise enough to know he needs more numbers to get there and rather than embracing illegal voters, he’s reaching out to ones who share some common ground. Ones who will fortify MAGA for decades to come.
And one more thing I’d like to say – don’t assume for a scintilla of a second that it’s only Republicans who make up MAGA. Since 2008, massive waves of disenfranchised conservative and moderate D’s have fled the Party. Many us were at the beginning when Trump rode down the escalator while many more of us were there educating him years prior.
Your purity test was rejected by Trump and RFK Jr. It doesn’t mean Trump voters who don’t apply the same purity test were RFK Jr. voters.
I see Trojan horses as far as the eye can see.
While the RINOs are doing everything they can to destroy MAGA Republicans in multiple states (Florida, Colorado, and others) it seems to me it is a very positive thing to have RFK Jr’s help. Instead of taking votes away from Trump, he is going to campaign for him. Those who would have voted for him might be interested in looking at Donald Trump again, even though many are convinced that Trump knew how deadly the “vaccines” would be and still wanted to take credit for how fast they were manufactured. But tf that were actually true, it seems to me Trump would want to stay away from RFK Jr. who is going to leave no stone unturned to figure out who was/is responsible for the COVID disaster. By purposely choosing to work with RFK Jr, Trump is saying, “I have nothing to hide. I had advisors and of the many, many doctors with whom I spoke, all of them told me the risk of side effects or adverse effects from the “vaccine” was a better risk to take than the risk of getting and dying from COVID.” It is Trump saying he, too, wants to get to the bottom of what happened. He is also saying he, too, cares about the children of this country and wants to find out what can be done to address the enormous chronic disease problem children have as well as adults of all ages.
It is very helpful to watch Tucker Carlson interview Calley and Casey Means who explain in detail what is making Americans sick. It is what is in our water, it is mass produced and ultra-processed food, it is high sugar and high carbohydrate intake for people of all ages, and it is plastics which all of our food comes in or even the fresh produce is wrapped in: we are getting microplastics in all of our bodies that disrupt the functioning of all of our cells.
This is a major positive development for a conservative candidate to take on, because conservatives in general have not wanted to overdo the amount of government regulation that affects the bottom line of companies. Doing so can lead to companies going to other countries and American workers losing their jobs.
But there is a way to both protect US companies through REASONABLE AND LIMITED regulation, as well as protect the health of Americans.
US corporations have gotten away with destroying the health of Americans for far too long. Big Pharma has paid for medical schools and thus they have determined to a great extent the curriculum. In addition they pay for the research that doctors read. This has led to doctors becoming focused not on the whole person, but on specific symptoms and how to treat those symptoms, usually with medications. But these medications, all of them, have side effects and adverse effects, and these are not really considered as much as they should be, because doctors feel this is what they have been trained to use to help people.
We need to change medical school curricula! But how to do that when Big Pharma is paying the bills?
To this day the major medical organizations such as Board of Internal Medicine STILL ARE ADVOCATING FOR everyone to continue to get COVID boosters!!!!
Thankfully, very few people are signing up. The word is out, and the only people voting for more COVID vaccines or more mRNA platform drugs are DOCTORS. At this point the medical profession has some real soul searching to do.
All in all, RFK Jr. has a lot to offer Americans in terms of his knowledge and his understanding of how government SHOULD work as opposed to the way it is working now.
I think Trump is very bright. What he is doing with RFK Jr. is similar to what he did with the Abraham Accords: he got Arab states and Israel together and focused on what they have in common. They all wanted to work together to defend against Iran’s aggression. Nobody ever thought any kind peace deal could be made in the Middle East. Until Trump!
Now he is doing the same thing with someone from the left: let’s focus on what we have in common and work to make real progress on those issues. Hopefully RFK Jr. and Trump will do better than Lincoln did with his team of rivals!
I agree with almost everything you say. Yes. Trump understands the art of the deal.
What I do NOT agree with is your very last sentence.
“Hopefully RFK Jr. AND Trump will do better than Lincoln did with his team of rivals!”
Why can’t everyone see that there is no “and” in your sentence?
Yes, Trump gave an ace to RFK believing it will force Kamala out and it will.
But WHY is everyone looking away from the fact there is no “AND” as far as RFK is concerned?
Hello! Listen! RFK has stated he did not withdraw completely from the presidential race because he hopes for an electoral tie that will allow congress to give him the presidency. He has declared himself a rival. He’s not hiding it.
The BEST way one can look at this is Trump needed RFK to stay in the game to win. We all get that is Trump’s move.
But the idea that RFK is anything other than a a self-proclaimed rival is pure blindness.
It’s a high stakes game for America and everyone is ooohing and awing over how great Trump’s self proclaimed rival is playing his hand.
Take RFK at his word. Trump and RFK are only working together because each believes they will be able to win in the end.
RFK is not an ally of Trump’s plan for America.
Until RFK withdraws from the presidential race COMPLETELY, he is a worthy opponent and should be seen as such.
Did you listen to the interview? The deal made b/w the Trump team and the RFK Jr team is for him to self-remove his name from only the 10 swing/targeted states. Trump team already has the margins in the remaining red states. What votes RFK Jr pulls from there are apparently little concern to team Trump.
Thank you for bringing some sanity into the conversation. 🙏👏👏👏🙏
I really hope and pray you are correct. Bobby Kennedy is NOT liked at all by the members of my family who have TDS. Indeed they all used to think Elon Musk was the second coming and now believe Mr. Musk has gone to the dark side.
I am a little late to the party, but I just finished the interview. I didn’t hear RFK Jr. say he was offered a job on the transition team. I heard him say he ASKED to be on it. Perhaps splitting hairs, but it seems important. It even supports the concern around RFK Jr in that he is clearly trying to interject himself.
Best news of the day. Thank you. There IS hope.
Don’t fawn all over this Gun Banning Son of a Bitch!
What’s Uncle Ted got to say? PLEASE! Hopefully DJT is very aware and save to this snake!
JFK said what Trump did was very bad and reprehensible….well well well…reveal reveal reveal….democracy democracy democracy. Um hum How about a Constitutional Republic. If you can keep it.
Well, if this is true, what I said on my comment on the “A New, Larger, Maga Coalition” article has already come to pass in a major way and it doesn’t look good from here.

He understands Democrats want to stop free speech. Losing free speech means we are subjects. But he does not understand J6 was a government run operation. There was massive vote fraud in the 2020 election.
Dis, mis, and now Mal information. It is what totalitarians do. Not libel for what is published on platform. Can sue the person but not the platform. Remove section 230 immunity. If President Trump did that……. but Trump is for free speech.
Polled and said 66% of his voters would vote for Trump if he dropped out…… Just like Sundance predicted. Bobby hurt Trump worse than Biden. Mafia tactic and that is what they are. It is what they do to businesses and bankers. Either do it our way or you get the highway. BIG GOVERNMENT wants BIG BUSINESS…..it is easier to control. Big business will play ball with whatever the government pushes. Businesses have no choice. The businesses that buck the system get crushed just like the j6ers.
It is not just the health epidemic of children it is the wanton trafficking of them by the elites.
Trump and Bobby not liking the NeoCons and helping the children. Not allowed on any media and could not get on debate stage. Contacted Harris’ campaign and they were not interested. Kamala , lot of handlers involved. You are electing the “unknown” apparatus. Can not do an interview and her whole life is public? It shows someone is behind the marrionette.
The Democrat Vision is Dystopia. Sundance’s picture of the nuclear on the plateau and us in the sewer says it all.
He is still running in 3o or 40 states. Fauci has SS protection?
Institutions are being lost by bias……. The Institutions are already totalitarian. Only knows Hunter laptop recently? Talk about being insulated in a Silo of lies.
Mike Pompeo is a criminal. FBI bugged MLK and now runs portals in social media. Only way they can win the election is to destroy the oppositiion candidates. Democrats suing Bobby in NYS. Got a judge that is part of the Democrat machine. Welcome to the Totalitarian “you are not a member of the club” Club.
We preserve these natural things because we love our children. The totalitarians Hate our Children. Restore the Soil.
Thank you for the information, Sundance, I have not seen the Tucker interview with RFK Jr.
Like you, I don’t really trust RFK Jr., just as I don’t really trust Elon Musk, or Tulsi Gabbard. Been stabbed in the back, let down and tricked entirely too often.
I agree with Steve Bannon (paraphrased): anyone who does not agree that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen, and that J6 was a Democrat (Pelosi/Schumer) instigated event does not belong in a position of giving counsel to President Trump or serving in his cabinet. Period. Done.
Having said that, I do hope for the best. If RFK Jr can stay in his lane (Child Health Care, cleaning up Big Pharma, bringing true natural healing remedies and techniques to light, etc.), then it might be worth taking a chance on him to help so many people who are dependent on the faulty, poisonous medical system we currently are saddled with.
I will keep praying. After all, whatever the devil means for ill, God will turn into good.
Having the Son of Hamas Mosab Hussan Yousef as Ambassador to the UN would be interesting….
