REPORTER: The Kennedys, an American dynasty,
the Kardashians of the capital.
We choose to go to the moon.
REPORTER: For over a century, the steady hand
of the Kennedy family has led America through its
greatest challenges.
The hope still lives and the dream shall never die.
REPORTER: They aren't just in politics, they are politics.
Ich bin ein Springfielder.
REPORTER: And in 2024, our abnormal times
call for an abnormal Kennedy.
I don't like wearing shoes.
I never have.
REPORTER: This is "The Daily Showography
of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Immune to Normal."
Bobby Kennedy Jr. was born in 1954 into the most
prestigious clan of--
[RECORD SLOWS] wait, is that Arnold Schwarzenegger
and Chris Pratt?
How powerful is this family?
Anyway, there he is.
No, there. No, there?
There?
The third of Senator Robert Kennedy's
11 children and the one lucky enough to share his name.
Despite his proximity to power, Bobby Jr.
Wasn't initially drawn to the family business.
Have you committed yourself to a political future?
I don't think so.
We can't all go into politics.
REPORTER: It would turn out to be the first of many things
he would be wrong about.
By the time--
REPORTER: As a young man, Bobby's
unique personal story landed him a spot
at Harvard, such amazing luck.
After studying law at the University of Virginia,
he became an assistant district attorney in Manhattan,
before pausing to take part in a personal research
trial of a promising new drug called heroin.
Rehab and court-ordered community service
had him cleaning up both himself and pollution
in the Hudson River, which led him to a career
in environmental law.
A project that I work on is river protection.
REPORTER: While most environmentalists are about as
effective as a Trump gag order, RFK Jr. was massively
successful, winning huge cases with his team
of young law students and earning him the title "hero
for the planet."
And that's the end of this great man's story.
Wait, there's more?
Oh, shit.
A year ago--
REPORTER: In 2005, a woman came to RFK Jr.
with an unbelievable story.
Her son had gotten autism from childhood vaccines.
And while normal people don't believe unbelievable stories,
Kennedy was sold.
After doing his own research, he published his findings
in the acclaimed medical journal Rolling Stone,
where it was the second most important
article of the month.
Despite having been completely wrong, Kennedy doubled down.
There's no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.
REPORTER: Indeed, he developed a natural immunity
to all criticism.
You said previously that no vaccine is
safe or effective, which is--
I never said that.
You did say that in a podcast interview in July--
No.
REPORTER: As his ideas spread and spread and spread,
RFK Jr. gained potency.
For him, this fight is personal.
You can hear it in his voice--
We ought to be debating the science.
REPORTER: --which was damaged by a neurological condition
called spasmodic dysphonia.
While doctors weren't sure how he contracted the disease,
Kennedy did his own research and-- surprise--
blamed his annual flu shot.
It occurred to me that this might be a vaccine injury.
I don't know, but it's certainly a possibility.
REPORTER: Hey, who hasn't gone on WebMD
and thought, oh, shit, I definitely have that.
And then came his big moment, the COVID vaccine.
When RFK Jr. rolled up his sleeve, it was to fight.
It's the deadliest vaccine ever made.
REPORTER: As one of the most influential
voices against vaccines, he truly
put the "flu" in influencer.
Mainstream media--
REPORTER: And that's when the censorship started.
And I've been silenced in many, many ways.
REPORTER: In the face of this silencing,
there was only one thing Kennedy could
do to get his message out.
I've come here today to announce my candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for president
of the United States.
[CHEERING]
REPORTER: Kennedy could deny his fate no longer.
Like a microchip from the COVID vaccine,
politics was in his DNA.
And compare it to his rivals, Kennedy
isn't just fit for office, he's straight up jacked for it.
You've gone viral, not only with your message, but just
your sheer masculinity.
REPORTER: Take that, big pharma,
this is a level of physical fitness
you only get from clean living, natural foods--
I take testosterone replacements.
REPORTER: OK, so he takes a little steroids,
but it's organic, farm-to-table steroids.
I started this campaign--
REPORTER: Normally a Kennedy on the ballot
would coast on his family name.
But Bobby Jr. is not normal, partly because much
of his family is actually opposing him,
especially after he dropped out of the Democrat primary
to run as an independent, but also because this Kennedy is
a man of the people, living simply in Hollywood
with Larry David's wife.
OK.
REPORTER: And, yes, he has name recognition,
but he also has broad appeal championing liberal ideas,
conservative ideas, and every conspiracy
theory known to man.
COVID-19 attacked certain races.
The people who are most immune are
Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.
REPORTER: All the greatest hits.
5,000 satellites alone, we'll be
able to look at every square inch of the planet.
REPORTER: That's why nine out of 10 alternative thinkers
recommend RFK Jr. for president of the United States.
A conspiracy theory is just something the government
doesn't want you to hear.
REPORTER: There's nothing normal about the
2024 election.
And in a contest between a professional courtroom sketch
model and a grandpa who wandered away from his family
at the mall, Kennedy is still somehow
the least normal candidate.
Somebody snapped him walking the aisles
heading to the bathroom without any shoes or socks.
REPORTER: Well, that's one way to do your own research.
And that's why America needs to inject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
straight into its bloodstream.
MEDICAL DISCLAIMER READER: Side effects of RFK Jr.
include nausea, measles, mumps, rubella,
chicken pox, monkeypox, polio, and COVID-19.
