The Daily Show is propaganda. John Stewart colored outside the lines when he did a bit suggesting the virus was manufactured at the Wuhan Lab. He was publicly vilified and since then he is toeing the line of mainstream controlled groupthink.

I'm not sure Jon Stewart is involved in The Daily Show any more. He has his own podcast or show elsewhere.

He’s the host every Monday now during the elections! Started 3 weeks ago.

I've stopped living in black and white. That is independence. And living in the full color of life means acknowledging there is a little good in bad people, and a little bad in good people. RFKjr is good people.

Modern satire is conditioning society to "BULLY people they disagree with!" This response by Adam Garrie was exeplerary. Beautifully written.

That’s not satire.. because it’s not even funny… it’s derision.

Attempted satire, ok?

I’m not sure it was even attempted. Satire requires intelligence.

They attack RFK Jr because they want to silence the truth he speaks about so many issues. Shame on the Daily Show for this attack on Mr. Kennedy.

Beautiful summary of RFK Jr. Thank you.

Sometimes the most honorable among us, receive the most arrows. They are the true heroes. His life thus far puts him in the hero category for me. RFK, a man whose constantly forging new paths in the face of adversity.

Jon Stewart really lost me when he stood with Ukrainian Nazis in Florida at Disneyworld early on in this US supported proxy war. The documentary by Jeff Hays was very well done to portray RFK jr's life and growth. His entry into the mercury/vaccine war was not easy and he rejected it at first as he is doing with the Israeli/US massacre in Gaza. He is shown on film opening to a mother of a vaccine damaged child because she looked like someone from his class of people (very classist bias). But after she dogged him for over a day on his porch/at his door, he finally agreed to read the stack of reports/science she brought him. That is how his entry into the vaccine safety issue was portrayed.

What he is weak on is foreign policy and refusal to speak on the Gaza genocide which is now clearly recognized by the ICJ and most nations and people in the world--even the majority in this country. He is also weak on the Border issue which I have heard him make equally strong statements about but without any discussion of humanist concern, the US cause of this happening, and how it can be handled. Without more talk on these issues along with economic ones, he struggles as a deficit with many who might be interested in supporting him.

I wish that Bobby would take a deep dive into the Gaza genocide with a truly open mind. I agree that he is losing would be supporters over this issue.

When it comes to the border what I have heard him say has been good, am I missing something?

I don't watch mainstream anything anymore, can't take it. I believe Bobby is the best presidential candidate, the negative press is so disheartening.

What I heard him say about the Border was very concerning. He had said, after a visit there, that it needed to be closed and a plan be devised but have no idea what he suggests. I am not one to see the border closed as the problem is due to US policies and practices which always interfere with other countries popular votes and push for dictatorial leaders with 1000's of people killed for demanding democratic process and better labor conditions. These people too often are running for their lives having been threatened and/or lost many of their family.

As for him being the 'best' alternative candidate??? Not sure. I think he is the best known alternative candidate and has much to offer, especially environmentally and medically. However, Cornell West and Marianne Williamson have very strong positions on all the issues. They just are not well known and their persona is not accepted by the public. Agree about the press but they are doing their job which is not reporting news but supporting the oligarchy's narrative. They are disgusting. Look at the revelation of the NY Times being exposed for its erroneous reporting on Gaza and Hamas--pure lies and they won't retract them no matter how many news outlets have been calling this out! I fear Kennedy has drunk from that well and is poisoned on this issue.

The trouble w/CW and MW is that they have no chance of winning and neither has the no how of how the government works. Bobby certainly does since he’s filed lawsuits against them. He will get things done! Here’s a video of Bobby talking to the border patrol in case you didn’t see it. I don’t know how everyone isn’t voting for this man!! #kennedy24

Agree that kennedy has tremendous knowledge of how politics work as he grew up in the midst of some major events. He also knew many of the politicians as they were visitors/guests at his house growing up. These contacts clearly given him understanding of how politics work and how nefarious people can be. I watched the video you sent and it is not different than his earlier comments which I heard months ago. There was still no discussion of solutions--only stating local problems. No discussion of what was causing this situation. He is definitely better prepared to walk into this job but am still concerned about some of his solutions which he really does not discuss other than to do sit downs with people on both sides of any issues. That is good but we need to know more.

Thank you for your last couple replies. I feel like we have seen different videos of Bobby. He talks more about the issues and what he proposes to do about them then anyone else. I don't agree with him on everything bit that's OK. He will make the government accountable to the people. He will stop big pharma from ruining everyone's health and finances. This alone could get people's brains functioning better and maybe more will wake up! He will tell the people the truth more than any other candidate. I believe he will listen to all sides more than anyone else. He has more courage to stand up against the corruption and he can't be bought by corporate interests. His experience in court suing corrupt corporations and making them accountable is invaluable going forward. He is willing to die on this hill if that's what it takes. Like he says: There are fates worse than death.

I, too, appreciated our communication. So many people feel free to be hostile when there is disagreement and that will never get us moving forward Actually, this is one of the things I liked about Kennedy from the beginning--his talking about the need to talk with all sides and come to some kind of mutuality. Also, agree that he shows great courage given his knowledge of the murderous intent of the CIA which he has spoken about as well as surviving such assaults on his family. I take his drugging to be an expression of some PTSD for this very experience. And also like his willingness to talk about facts on issues instead of the typical meaningless comments of other politicians. Where I am concerned is listening to his intensity of support for Israel with a refusal to listen to other positions and this is such a major issue that flies in the face of democratic values and many of our laws. I also listened carefully to his talk in the Jeff Hays documentary on his life, about how he came to see the importance of mercury in vaccines. He was equally adamant about not wanting to go there denying the problem even tho he was working to get mercury out of the environment. He needed someone who looked like his class who had an equal adamancy for him to even agree to read the documents she presented to him. He did read them and it finally opened him up to the damage to all our children. So on one hand, he presented a rigid opposition which was antagonistic to his position to listen to people on issues he was not well informed and, OTH, he demonstrated his willingness to change. I learned years ago to listen to the energy and between the words when people speak because often that is where we find the truth. In this case, it is stunning to me that with all the massive amount of media and people with direct experience in Gaza that he is still holding a pro-AIPAC/Israel line. This is what gives me pause about him. At the same time he is not the only candidate who supports Israel's genocidal , racist policies and actions. There are no other candidates who come even close to having a public image with any chance of winning this election. He deals with the Black community with their progressives who all speak out against Israel's genocidal assaults and its blatant lies and I hope it will penetrate his mindset and open him up. I guess I am saying I really would like to support him but this issue is too big to ignore.

What Kennedy says about the border is the truth. The reasons for the +7 million illegals who have crossed into the United States on there Southern Border is very simple. It began during the 2020 campaign but moved forward in earnest on January 20th, 2021 when Biden took office and basically said to the World, "Come on in World! We'll give you a plane ticket anywhere you want, more money than you have earned in a year, and we're not gonna need to meet with you for about 5 years."

Were there American policies that created problems in other countries? Of course, and we can fix this by electing Robert F Kennedy Jr. BUT we cannot be a country without a border. As Kennedy likes to say, will big walls but wide gates. The Border is a catastrophe and waiting for Congress to fix it is useless.

Kennedy is very specific regarding what he would do at the border. First secure it. Then require all people to have their cases adjudicated as quickly as possible, but done in Mexico. Hire more judges to process them but ONLY at legal crossings. visit kennedy24.com for more info.

TY

That might help but we still need criteria and processes for evaluating situations as well as guidelines to help people once they come into this country.

Your criticisms of RFKj are fair. His repetitions of Israeli propaganda about what's going on in Gaza, greatly disappoint and shock me. Though as harsh as it sounds I'm beginning to think there is no future for Palestinians in Gaza, Israel will always keep them under its thumb. Mass Immigration to surrounding countries is their only hope and the only option Israel seems is going to allow them. Let's not repeat the errors of the Nazi years and fail to find a safe place for the refugees. Bobbie's policy regarding the border are more humane than Trump's and are more serious and urgent than Biden's imo.

Bobby just did a new podcast with Palestinian and Israeli peace activists. You might not agree with Bobbi's position on this issue, but you have to admit that he is the only major politician who is attempted to build a bridge and had a thoughtful discussion with people on both sides. I think it shows without a doubt that he is the only candidatewho can move the ball down the playing field. Trump is a violent savage on this issue, and Joe Biden is a demented halfwit. The other two third-party candidates, Jill Stein and Cornel West, are not constructive actors. They are both pro Hamas and despite whatever lip service they might give, neither of them believes in Israel's right to exist.

I haven't watched it. Was it Jon Stewart narrating? He can be so right on target regarding some things.Too bad , it sounds like he got RFKJ wrong. I suppose he can't color too far outside the lines, be too open in his thinking and still keep his job.
