Taking Down RFK Jr. – Michael Morse

By Michael Morse, contributing writer, commentary

Robert Kennedy Jr. and Joe Rogan had a great conversation last week, some forty million people listened, among them, Elon Musk and Peter Hotez. Elon needs no introduction, Hotez is a familiar face, if you watch cable news. His appearances on MSNBC, CNN and the networks, to advocate for first the Covid shot, then the second shot, then the booster and then another booster, were frequent. He has twice been on The Joe Rogan Experience talking about Covid, vaccines, public Health, and whatever came up as part of the conversation.

Robert and Joe also discussed a lot of things, the most contentious being the Covid 19 vaccines, especially how the rollout was flawed, and the data purposely manipulated to encourage mass vaccination. The History of government’s malfeasance was talked about, as was the pharmaceutical industries less than ethical Business practices. Vaccine injury came up, the lack of a cause for the prolific rise in autism in our lifetime, as well. The declining Health of the American people and the correlation to forever chemicals, pesticides and environmental toxins made up a large part of the three plus hours of the podcast.

Peter Hotez, MD, PHD., unsolicited, responded with this:

Spotify Has Stopped Even Sort of Trying to Stem Joe Rogan’s Vaccine Misinformation. It’s really true @annamerlan just awful. And from all the online attacks I’m receiving after this absurd podcast, it’s clear many actually believe this nonsense,” Hotez tweeted.

Joe Rogan offered $100,000 to Hotez’s charity of choice to come on the podcast with Kennedy to defend his position. The pot has grown to over a million dollars. Hotez has refused. The New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, CNN and dozens of media organizations came out in support of Hotez, and denounced Robert Kennedy Jr. It was, and continues to be, an unbridled and organized takedown of a legitimate threat to President Biden’s hopes for reelection.

Demonizing “the right” by attacking a lifelong advocate for the environment, a classic liberal and an articulate, decent man appears to be the motive behind this orchestrated movement. Our political divide is so deep that attacking anybody whose ideas are not in lockstep with the approved narrative is permissible and encouraged. Even Chelsea Clinton got in on the takedown.

The problem, as our increasingly government controlled media is finding out, is the sheer number of people that have abandoned legacy media for the new generation of information; online news publications and the podcast. Kennedy has embraced the future, and is appearing with Joe Rogan, Theo Vonn. Jim Breuer, Jordan Peterson and a vast lineup of people willing to talk, and listen, and explore topics in honest and revealing conversation rather than thirty second soundbites, prepared responses, words written by a team of professional speechwriters and scripted appearances on so called Town Halls.

The result of these conversations gives those willing to listen a previously impossible look into the thought process and experiences that lead to a candidate’s platforms. We are slowly becoming an informed electorate, and judging by the aggressive, toxic response of yesterday’s news, the established media is struggling to survive, but is destined to drown under the weight of their entanglements.
