Democratic insiders are starting to panic about Robert F. Kennedy Jr's third party presidential run and they fear that he could act as a spoiler for President Biden that leads Donald Trump to being reelected. First of all, I don't buy that. This is, to me, if I look at the entire Bobby Kennedy story, it is the worst abuse of democracy I've ever seen in my life. The way that this guy's been handled. Now, full disclosure, he's a friend of mine. We've known each other a lot of years. We've tried cases together. I think he's a good candidate. But what's happening is you have all of these Democrat insiders who rather than facing the facts and are saying the American public is tired of Biden, they're tired of Donald Trump.

Kamala Harris scares the hell out of 'em. They can't see her as stepping into the role of president. They see all of this happening. The polls are overwhelming. The narratives are overwhelming. But nevertheless, they're doing these little, I call them the Democratic flying monkeys, this Michael Starr Hopkins. He's a Democratic operative and a political commentator. They have these flying monkeys all over the place. And MSNBC puts 'em on, CNN puts 'em on. And you would think by the time it's over with, as you're listening to his story, you'd think the guy's insane. He's anything but insane. He's a challenge right now. He's a serious challenge.

Well, see what bugs me about stories like this is when you have all these Democratic strategists, because this article from The Hill talks to multiple, and they all say the same thing. Like, oh, we're so worried he's gonna help Trump get elected. But okay, listen, that's a possibility. Sure. But your anger to me is directed in the wrong spot. If you're mad that somebody could cost your guy the election, shouldn't you be mad at your guy? Shouldn't you be more concerned as to, hey, why is our guy losing support to this person? What can we do differently? I mean, you're a so-called strategist, so come up with a strategy to win the voters back. And nobody ever wants to look at that side of it with the strategists.

Let's blame, let's call names. It is a childlike mentality that you're seeing coming out of the Democratic party right now. We'll see it soon with the Republicans too. But it's this, the American public, the number is 70, this is 70% of Americans are not satisfied with either Trump or Biden. When have we ever seen that? And nevertheless, you have, again, these flying monkeys that have just, all they know is Democratic politics. They started right outta college. They were a staffer, and then they moved to, all they can think of is what I call headline news, headline thinking. And they pick up the headline thinking and they ignore the realities taking place around 'em. You know? I see the family coming out after, his own family. Well, what's that about? Well, it's about that they want access. They're the old Kennedy family, they've been around forever. They've been Democrat forever. And so it's this pass me down. Okay. It's access to celebrity, to political celebrity, access to the big Democratic political parties. They feel like they're gonna be on the outside rather than doing, showing a little bit of character and standing up for their family, standing up for their own blood. Rather than doing that, their own brothers, their own cousins, you know, rather than doing that, they fall into the same headline thinking. And that is, yes, Biden is our guy, and yes, Kamala Harris is just fine. She's gonna make a great president when Biden kicks off. That's exactly the thinking.

Well, look, the family's been coming out long before Bobby was running for president.
