In an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. details his criticisms of his 2024 race opponents, former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. #CNN #News
@@magdalenamezydlo6150with all due respect you have no idea what MAGA is. The MSM definition is a construct used as a weapon. Know it or don’t, laugh, whatever, it won’t change the truth.
CNN came off looking like jackasses from this interview. RFK Jr was polite and thoughtful in everything he talked about. He seemed respectful and showed class. Whoever the woman is that is interviewing was staring down her nose at him the entire interview. Interviewer came off as spiteful and obnoxious. I have never voted in a US election. I don't like the politics. I'm considering voting for the first time just because of Kennedy. I like the dude and the fact that both parties don't like him means he's doing something right.
I actually think she likes him more than she's allowed to show. She was only allowed to have him on if she played this role. CNN has its games and its candidate, so she had to play along.
This won’t be my first time voting, but the media always does this same thing to every candidate I like. Ron Paul, Bernie, Yang, and now Kennedy (would have been Perot to if I was old enough). Neither party likes anyone who doesn’t play their games and work for corporate interests, and the media will never accurately represent them if they even give them any coverage at all. Of everyone I’ve liked in the past (some are very different from others), Kennedy is the best so far and it shows in his support.
I hope many think like you, and all the non voters all the first time voters whom otherwise would not vote for either of the other two candidates … all of the independents and pretty much every person in this country disillusioned with the state of our politics … we all show up in masses to prove the polls wrong and make this man our president. We the people can make it happen 🙏 if we were to all show up and vote for whom we believe and not a party candidate, I believe Mr Kennedy cannot only win he will win on a landslide victory . Presidents shouldn’t be party candidates anyways. They should represent the People.
What did CNN do to miss quote him? I listened and I am still listening. It’s not over yet but so far, she has asked him “are you saying…” and then he either answers her or says, “I’m not going to answer that. I’m saying…”
@@DeborahGee The clips were very targeted misquotes, for example the video of him saying he was proud Trump likes him. What he said immediately after saying Trump likes him in the original video, which most other news channels who reviewed it aired which CNN did not. He overtly stated basically the same reason he gave immediately after that. He doesn’t want to incite animosity and polarize people more. He also stated many times he doesn’t like most things Trump did as well, they were trying very hard to push that he is supporting Trump.
That's very true. He said that in some ways he is more dangerous than Trump. He even described what he meant by that if anyone would be bothered to go beyond their twisted title manipulations and listen.
@@DeborahGee The video title says that RFK said that Biden is a bigger threat to democracy. What he said was "I could actually make the argument Biden is a bigger threat..." This is the video RFK jr. posted today about it, repeating exactly the same thing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GOqVMvY2IPQ.html They twisted his words as they do to anyone that they don't like.
Spot on Target 🎯. It's despicable. To say no proof that Biden denied Bobby Kennedy Jr secret service is an error of definition. The fact is that Biden had the power to approve his secret service, yet does not, in itself is proof.
Hard to watch RFK Jr. trying to speak about his platform when all the questions he got were questions about Trump, Trump, Trump. The dems seem to be running on their hatred of Trump rather than what they can do to fix our myriad problems. RFK Jr. is a classy guy.
They could not allow someone to speak that kind of obvious truth without giving the TDS infected audience a "see, I knew he was full of it" moment. They are the only people watching their ads. Can't disappoint them.
i’m voting for RFK no matter what. i don’t care if he’s not on my ballot, i’m writing his name in. the only presidential candidate i’ve ever had true confidence in.
Confidence about what? He was arrested for Heroin trafficking and documented cheating on his 2nd wife with 37 women. Then she killed herself. What do you have confidence in him about?
RFK Jr. is a Russian operative trying to take votes away from Biden. That would put tRump back into the White House. That would be the end of our democracy, our freedoms. RFK's own family does not support him. As a matter of fact they denounce him. Look it up!
It shows how genuine his words were, if they have to bring on another 3 people and add a special segment just to try to compensate for being unable to put a dent in his arguments while he has a chance to respond.
Huh?? I certainly have never voted blue. I've been behind Kennedy since late last Spring. Biden and him are like polar opposites. Forget party labels. He is nothing like those Dems.@@endofquoterepeattheline7516
in the end democracy is about representation of the people, and if the democrats are bashing RFK and discrediting him and his voters they are by definition acting against democracy, as both parties have been doing for a long time tbh.
I want an environmental lawyer who has sued Corporations for polluting water etc for 4 decade's. Believes in Free Speech, Free Press and healthy living. We The People on the ballots.
@@philtronnn Im an environmental lawyer who is supporting RFK Jr. check out my piece on Kennedy Beacon refutting the Washington Post hit job on his environmental legacy.
then vote for him! And remember when trump wins because of votes like that, you'll have helped empower the guy who removed over 100 policies aimed at protecting our air, water, wildlife, and so on.
@@LPSchnapf then let's hope his voters cease to be his voters. Nader gave us GW Bush, Stein gave us trump, will RFK Jr. give us trump part deux? Heaven forbid.
I am a left-values person and always will be. Sadly the Democratic party does not represent me anymore. I think Biden did a terrible job. I stand with RFK and will vote for him.
@@theotherscott If you think that RFK has any chance to actually win in November, then you are delusional. Does the two party system stink? Sure, but voting for RFK is only going to lead to Trump winning. Ross Perot was more popular than RFK is now, and he won ZERO electoral college votes. Don't kid yourself.
They ignored him for as long as they could, but they finally had to interview him. The more people listen to him, the more they will realize the people calling him a conspiracy theorist have their corporate interests in mind.
Wow, this network keeps dipping in the ratings and trying to catch a breath w this guy. Ironic. Bobby Kennedy Jr iconically just spelled out twats wrong w this country in 20 minutes. See ya at the the polls!!!
Then the talking head at the end lambasting him for "not giving a plan for the American people" when every single question was about Biden, Trump, or being a spoiler... 🙄
@@godisrockministries.8608CNN commentators being bad at their job does not necessarily correlate with RFK Jr being a good candidate for president. Far from it. Neville Chamberlain was completely dazzled by Hitler and we all know the upshot of what unfolded after that encounter.
Great job on RFK Jr’s part. “How dare you challenge our president and chosen candidate?!” says Erin Burnett with every question. Fortunately RFKJr is a highly skilled orator who’s expert at getting his points across. He himself is solely responsible, against sizable roadblocks by Erin and CNN, for this interview being interesting, informative and helpful to voters. “No thanks” to you, CNN, except you posted the interview despite the fact it shows everyone what hacks you are.
What a shame. They’ve cut him off and continued talking behind his back instead of actually including in the conversation. This is how CNN treats us, the people. They think that we need a commentator on the interview that we just heard. Shame on this kind of “journalism”.
You gotta be told what to think. And of course when you google/search for "interviews with RFK jr" you get CNN As top result. Malicious algorithms favouring establishment media instead of relevancy or views. Fuck Google, Fuck CNN,
I'm really dissapointed in you, Erin. Get your facts straight and have some integrity. pretty hilarious they bring on this joker to try and refute everything RFK just said. smells desperate.
Talking heads like her are mouthpieces for advertisers and executives. Facts and integrity are low on the totem pole for these characters. Might not even be on the totem pole at all.
If they did that they would be a different party and the country would not be going into the toilet The democrat party has decided to be the party of hamas.
Finally! An interview. Whether they attack him like all of these interviewers have, he will rise above because they cannot deny he makes more sense than any candidate we’ve had in a very long time. If RFK makes it to the White House I’ll consider staying in the US. If not, I’m out!
The clear partisanship of the interviewer and the "analysts" explain why people have turned off from mainstream media. And then they wonder why the country is so polarized...
Thanks for interviewing RFK. Former Dem Boomer here with GenZ kids and we're all voting #kennedy24 because we listen to what he says rather than what corporate-owned media tells us.
Let’s go! Mr Kennedy touches all sides of the political spectrum and all generations . He really brings left and right wing concerns back together into a single discourse and make it sound not only clear but indeed possible and perfectly achievable . Incredible man. An inspiration to us all.
Why are people afraid of RFK Jr? Listen to what he actually says and not what other people say he says or twist what he says into something that he didn't say. For me he is the only choice.
Listening to him directly to get full. Contacts only makes him worse. He’s a conspiracy nut job who spouses out constant misinformation about things he does not understand but he does it with confidence and other people don’t understand it assuming must be correct. It’s mind-boggling anyone takes him serious. People aren’t afraid of him. People think he is ridiculous because he is and he is wildly incorrect over and over again.
@@Brandalf_The_GreyHey, I understand where you're coming from, but I think that seems to be the repeated dismissal from the establishment who would rather continue the "business as usual" approach to things and disregard any opposing view points. I hope you continue to do more research on him and see that the slanders are not true, and you might find that he's actually correct on many things from the shrinking middle class, to the housing crisis, to the military contractors pushing for more endless war. Not trying to start an argument with you, just wanted to offer a different perspective.
Man, RFK Jr really has these people on the run. It’s hilarious how they’re just out to discredit him and talk about him as a spoiler from the start. They don’t at all want to talk about the issues with him.
❤ We know what Bobby Kennedy meant by his comments. The left just wanted to block him and silence him completely but "We the people have spoken " "We the people want to make America 🇺🇸 proud Again" "We the people want a younger competent leader and his name is Robert Francis Kennedy Jr". Vote 🗳️ Vote 🗳️ Vote 🗳️ for RFK Jr 2024❤🇺🇸💥💥💥💥💥💥
That interview was totally one sided. We all know which side CNN are debating for. That's okay tho. RFK JR handled himself very well. Everything he said, I agree with. That's why, I'm voting for RFK Jr!
Absolutely !!! I’m voting for RFK ! The Biden administration is anti democratic, anti American . Biden has suppressed the American citizens right for freedom of speech !!!
A man can't understand something when his paycheck demands that he doesn't understanding it. They're trained lap dogs of the rich and wealthy people who run the country. They're not journalist.
I commend CNN for giving RFK jr the space and the respect to listen to a truth that matters to us without looking for “gotcha” moments to get more viewers. Erin has a “spoiler” bias for sure but RFK jr did well and he makes me consider him for November. If you actually listen to RFK jr’s intelligence, how could anyone go forward to November and cast a vote for the lesser of two evils. Have RFK jr on regularly. I want to know more…
Just go listen to his peace and diplomacy speech and the speech he gave in Raleigh. He's the best candidate in 55 years. It's not about policy. Without character, policies are meaningless. He's spent his career fighting corruption, taking on government agencies and corporations for harming Americans
saying RFK will take votes from biden or trump drives me insane. it’s a free country & anyone can run for president, regardless of what the 2 government approved parties say.
He is in this race to help Trump. A 3rd party taking chunks of votes is the only reason Trump won in 2016. He is trying to make it easier for Trump to sneak into the WH
So you want to tell everybody that you don't understand how the electoral college works and are perfectly fine if that antiquarian mechanism hands the executive branch over to a megalomaniac fronting a right wing extremist movement bent on turning the republic into a theocracy?
That guy at the end from the Ministry of Truth was hilarious! do you know what will be even more entertaining? Hearing Biden and Trump’s excuses for why they won’t debate RFK😂. RFK crushed this interview! And he would crush the other two in a debate.
Finally! RFK gets this platform. Unfortunately the interviewer was horrific. She went low, passive-aggressive, flat out aggressive and terribly personal. Shame on her. CNN, bring him back throughout and do better.
You could see her softening as it went on. He's too smart, too charismatic. Her heart wasn't in it by the end, it must be exhausting having to spin the constant lies, especially when the man is sitting right in front of her. I think he did great.
This is the kind of ineffective Gotcha journalism that we can expect from CNN these days. The fact that they played a bunch of slash coverage at the end of this interview without even letting him respond says so much about what that organization is trying to achieve with this interview.
16m subscriptions to this channel. This video got less than 250k views. Explain that one to me please? Even when they platform him, they still sensor him. Its outrageous. RFK deserves to be heard the same as any other credible candidate does.
22:10 "we're spending more on Diabetes than we are on our defense budget"..... he is right and he is the only one talking about childhood sickness and obesity.
Bro he fully handled all of this with such class. Incredibly impressive. Host kept trying to bait him into praising trump and he just kept bringing it back to, “it doesn’t matter who wins between these two candidates because neither are going to make a difference on any of the issues that actually matter”
Why was he allowed to say that Biden is more of a threat to Democracy that Trump? CNN should have stopped the interview right then and there. Trump is like a cross bread between a Nazi and a member of the KKK
the fact that they left up the thing that said, " RFK is the most radical left candidate" longer than all the other quotes, is obscene. These people are sick!
Because many people are delusional, and look at it as “good vs evil” lmao. They really think that the democrats are the good guys, and that’s why all the news stations agree with them. They have brainwashed this country incredibly well. It’s sad.
Poor journalism. Burnett didn't ask about his policies or the solutions he offers. Instead questions were about: how he's going to get on ballots (who cares? that's admin, let him go through the democratic process), some members of his family not agreeing with his candidacy (again, who cares?), Vp pick's money, is he just a spoiler? (implying he was), who's more of a threat to democracy, Trump or Biden. If you interview a candidate, ask him about why he's a candidate and what he wants to do if we elect him!
Wow, subtle attempt to pin him to Trump. Stevie Wonder could see that one. There is not one honest media outlet going. They are all as biased and as bad as they say Fox is.
It was an excellent interview. It served its purpuse of trying to mitigate the chances of RFK ever becoming a real candidate, and gave him very limited opportunity to explain his vision. Thats what you can expect from these kinds of media outlets.
People should care about what his family thinks. It says very much about a persons character (not everything) if their family says they are a fruitcake. Couple that with what people have heard him say and they understand he is not mentally well. To colloquialize it, if he was IHOP, his brain would be a short stack.
I'm quite certain that their questions were selected very carefully. Is it poor journalism - absolutely! Is it somewhat subtle propaganda to have him on and ask only questions with a certain slant. The only thing that backfired on them was the implication that Trump was a bigger threat to democracy than Biden and having him disagree. I'm sure it was anticipated that at some point that the man would go along to get along. They're not used to interviewing people with the courage of their convictions.
I can never really understand what the guy says more than half the time & that is never going to work as our President huh? Mumbling hides a lot of detail and key points and nobody can say huh...what did you say dummy???
The gun crisis isn't a gun crisis it's a mental and stability issue . Don't blame a tool for an accident or incident, forks don't make people fat and guns don't kill people or kids mentally unstable individuals and stability of responsibility is our country and worlds problem .
@@ThebigC925 it's what he's rambled on about previously. He's a shill. Saying that Biden is more of a threat to democracy than a "man" who tried to overthrow democracy. Load of BS. His own family don't think he's fit to run and is only doing it to disrupt the democrats.
RFK JR Is always a class act ! You see that in Biden or Trump! SINCERELY...NOBODY Comes close to the Respect and Humbleness, and Patience that RFK JR has! I'm only here to see HIM! These other inconsiderate, and down rite Evil bitches, not reporters in my opinion, are why so many people never tune in except for something big, like RFK JR! HE CAN HANDLE ANYTHING THROWN AT HIM! Can't wait to vote for him! I'm out of this S#:+ hole news place! RFK JR 2024
Super glad to see CNN have on RFK. CNN and MSNBC have been terrified of RFK because if people listen to what RFK is really about - they will vote for him. He's great and not the conspiracy theorist they painted him to be. He is the only candidate can unite the parties.
Agreed, this seems like a more balanced approach from their usual partisanship. RFK jr is talking about the real issues, and so many people will vote for him if they actually hear his positions.
It’s amazing how much of an embarrassment CNN is. At the end, they tried to discredit him, of course, after he left and couldn't defend himself. Why didn’t they ask those questions when he was there? We all know the answer because RFK Jr would have provided an articulate, well-thought-out response that once again would have made the mainstream media look foolish. Great job, Bobby!
Wow, this network keeps dipping in the ratings and trying to catch a breath w this guy. Ironic. Bobby Kennedy Jr iconically just spelled out twats wrong w this country in 20 minutes. See ya at the the polls!!!
If your family won't tell you that they are thankful for your courage and for running, I will! Thank you for being a true American and making a table for everyone!
What a disaster CNN has become. Erin Burnett didn’t even watch Nicole Shanahan’s speech. What a complete lack of preparation. This is pure middle-school pettiness. I don’t even know what I think of RFK but he was clearly more coherent and open-minded than any of these CNN knuckleheads.
I don't agree with every stance he has, but I am voting RFK Jr because he sees where we're heading. RFKJ addresses our future with topics such as these: regenerative farming, housing, big pharma, the toxic American food industry, chronic diseases, environmental health, military-industrial complex, corporate cronyism, and state-corporate mergers. I don't ever hear top democrats OR republicans discussing much of these subjects. KENNEDY 2024
So basically what you are saying is that you are happy to have Trump as president. RFK has no chance of becoming president. So make sure you are happy with Trump because all these RFK votes will help elect Trump. Don't get me wrong, I wish we had more opportunities for third parties but this election is too risky.
@@helenesculpts we always have opportunities. Thats the beauty of America. We have a chance to make a change RIGHT NOW with a recognizable independent candidate that has the best ideas for our future. Just help spread the word and vote with hope instead of fear.
LOVE RFK Jr.! He is the ONLY candidate that is intelligent, coherent, with integrity and the experience to get the corporations out of our government. RFK Jr 2024!!!
Evey time Kennedy talks about the issues and polariztion in America, Erin redirects the conversation in a polarizing way. "But trump but Trump". Yes I'm voting for Kennedy - he is the best candidate for the middle class.
The media has been 100% against Trump since he ran for office! Welcome to the club. America’s media is pure propaganda, only gives negative of Trump, literally one sided view which IS total propaganda. Media has totally discredited themselves as hacks, no credibility. I only checked in here to hear Kennedy. I follow independent reporters.
@@patriciapowell6047 yea, but the rest of the media doesn’t acknowledge fox as a legit news organization, so to them that is one more thing to use against him.
RFK is such a good man. He said in another interview, “my entire life is a trauma….” It was pretty heartbreaking but so relatable in this human experience.
That is so cruel to play clips of his family .. really low blow . I feel for him. Not impressed with CNN as usual .. they keep going for cheap shots because that’s all they have .
I didn't think I'd feel much about it but her speech was amazing and she comes off as more human and normal than any of them. I was really inspired actually. And yeah Erin here didn't even watch it. She just wants to take down the threat that RFK Jr currently is.
@@denisemurray8818 Incorrect. What he has answered means that people have to help themselves. If you are not willing to help yourself, you will not make it.
@@denisemurray8818that’s partly because she spent so much time asking him about Trump, trying to get something inflammatory and then about two family members who disagree with him that she didn’t allow a deep dive into his policies. He explains them all in his multiple long-form (1.5-2 hour) interviews on RU-vid and Spotify with many different podcasters with different political opinions. I don’t see Biden or Trump being able to talk politics, policies and the rational behind them for 1.5 hours yet alone 2.
Great answer to her question regarding Nicole Shanahan! She admits she heard “ part” of her speech…part? Listen to the whole speech and listen to what is being said. Great answer Bobby!
Who cares? She's a nobody. He's a nobody. They both have no chance of even winning one electoral vote. Reminds me of the hype around RON PAUL back in the day. If you went by the Internet comments you'd think he was going to be President. No chance. Another nobody.
We need more spoilers. The fact that this media outlet suggests that anyone other than Biden or Trump is unworthy of our vote is just another reason why we need to dump the two party monopoly.
@@jeremymathiu9428Yet we can have a president that stutters every other sentence, falls, loses his train of thought, and gets lost? I prefer a “voice” like that over Biden.
"I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money." Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.'" (Brandon, using US taxpayer money to stop prosecution of the company gifting millions to his unqualified son)
well, I'm sorry, there was a lot of hypocrisy drama and hyperbole in his rhetoric and there were also some wild inaccuracies. Let's just start with his saying we shouldn't demonize people and then he proceed to demonize Biden beyond all measure and beyond all fairness. FIne, if you don't like Biden, criticize him all you want, fair enough, but suggesting he's the biggest threat to democracy is hyperbole and patently ridiculous and silly. I would point out that trying to overturn an election, as Trump tried to do, is the single greatest threat to our democracy that I've experienced in my lifetime. Some of RFK JR's claims contain an incredible amount of spin. I also don't appreciate his back-peddling and stumbling as he does to mansplain away anti-vaxx statements that I heard with my own ears in past. Seen with my own eyes. The hyperbole undermined RFK JR's credibility as did his VP pick. The amount of his mansplaining he did was stunning.
RFKjr .. the American people deserve a thoughtful, reasoned leader like RFK. He is so much smarter than the smug teleprompter reader that it is embarrassing.
CNN - I DESPISE rfk jr. That said, you did him dirty and should be ashamed. Your coverage of him is disgusting and completely mischaracterizes him. Gross.
How much you want to bet his male relative who spoke out had a script? That man was talking like a hostage who had a gun pointed at him right off screen.
Well - Big Banks & Big Corps paid his relatives to attempt to discredit him. His sister was a nervous wreck & showed no confidence in what she said against her own brother.
This woman is an obvious biased interviewer for CNN. Her body language tells it all. Even though she is not interrupting him horrobly(still interuppting him) she definitely is not paying tention to what he has to say. This is why we can't have nice things. Journalism is pretty much dead. She is clearly on a mission and that mission is a hit piece that he did not fall for. She tried to suckered him into it. He is too smart to fall for those theatrics. Kudos to Joe Rogan and Theo Von for giving him proper podcast time. Watch their episodes with Bobby.
Bobby disagrees with you, He said he was very appreciative of the way Erin conducted herself. I hate CNN as much as anyone, but fair is fair, and she handled herself well enough.
