"We need to stop trusting the experts," Kennedy told Tucker Carlson.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on the latest episode of Tucker Carlson’s podcast on Monday and it’s filled with the ramblings of a man completely detached from reality.

Kennedy falsely suggested vaccines cause autism, more or less endorsed the idea that Anthony Fauci should go to prison, and says that AI will allow the FDA to approve new drugs very quickly. It’s quite a mess.

These absolutely unhinged ideas wouldn’t be such a problem if this were any other fringe lunatic appearing on the podcast of a racist former Fox News host. But Kennedy happens to be the Secretary of Health and Human Services, a man who’s been given enormous power over America’s entire healthcare system thanks to Donald Trump.

If he's so confident he and his family can take them first

Confidence without expertise is like baking a cake and saying you're not sure if there was shit in the batter.

He's disconnected from reality by his wealth and power excluding him from consequences to his actions and beliefs, and disconnect from morality by the same leading to corruption and immorality.

He's the billionaire narcissist confidently taking his sub down to see the Titanic and bringing us all down with him.
