MICHAEL KNOWLES (HOST): Speaking of getting caught holding bags of stuff, Bobby Kennedy Junior has now been revealed in the establishment media to have once cut off the head of a whale on the beach and then taken this big fleshy bag of whale guts and strapped it to the hood of his car with the windows a little bit down, because obviously he had to tie it up, and then to drive from Hyannis Port -- from the Kennedy compound, I guess -- to Mount Kisco, New York, which is the town where Bobby Kennedy lived in. Coincidentally, it's the town where I was born and grew up. It's the town right next where I grew up. So I'm very familiar with this area. It's a very long drive with whale guts and juices and stuff just pouring out the whole time. And the media are reporting on this now, of course, because RFK endorsed Trump. This is from the the New York Daily News.
You've heard a few weird stories about Kennedy over the years, but back when Bobby Kennedy was a reliable Democrat, he was hailed as a great hero, a hero of environmental justice, a great lawyer, a scion of the wonderful Kennedy family. Then the minute that he started to go a little bit independent from the liberal establishment, all of a sudden people came down on him. Even on the anti-vaccine activism that Kennedy's engaged in. Many people listening won't remember, but back when Kennedy was a loyal Democrat, the left even embraced the anti-vaccine activism. Jon Stewart on The Daily Show gave Kennedy this very soft, happy interview about thimerosal and vaccines. That was back when the left was still able to question certain aspects of big pharma, big agriculture - not anymore. Now that the the left has fully taken over basically every single institution in public life, now that RFK Junior is running independent, especially now that RFK Junior endorsed Donald Trump -- oh, man. He's a total coot. James Carville said he ought to be committed. Top Democrat strategist says a sane and, serious country would commit RFK to an insane asylum.
What's wrong with this? The headline makes it seem weird. RFK Junior once chainsawed off a whale's head, took it home. I don't know. It was a beached whale. It was already dead. Whales are cool. And RFK Junior is a hunter and an outdoorsman. RFK Junior is into falconry. He hunts. There's another story about him, like, tossing bear carcasses into his car. This is gonna be really scandalous for cosmopolitan liberals who've never handled a gun and who've probably never even taken a hike into nature. But this isn't that weird. People hunt. It's cool. In fact, this makes me think more highly of of RFK's environmentalism. When I grew up, I assumed he was an environmentalist in the -- along the lines of the people who throw soup on Van Gogh paintings and blow up dams and, you know, that worship mother Gaia and chain themselves to trees while they hug them. But no, now I'm -- listening to all these stories coming out that are intended to damage RFK's reputation, it only makes me think more highly of him because it's clear enough this guy's environmentalism is much closer to a Teddy Roosevelt-style conservationism and that's good.
