The only thing this proves is that these people will place their own children on the pyre for a chance to realize power.
Rubbish it was all a set up for trump. It took the secret service 10 seconds to get trump off the stage just long enough for trump to put his fist in the air & get all the photo shorts
That let's just call it like it is because there have been numerous studies that have been conveniently forgotten, theatrical attempt on the soon to be POTUS at the time will go down in history as just that. Theater. And now they have the outcast of the Kennedy family with the Trump group. Wow, who would've thought that is on the 2025 bingo card.
You might want to be nice to Trump, he will defund you and…. Oh … oops He has already…. The dictator will keep destroying the press until only the ones who love Trump will be left. Just like Russia. Mmmm I bet Vlad gave Trump his playbook! Marshal law soon…..
And Melania was a thinking "Damn, they missed"!😅
The 2024 election was a close election. There is no doubt that RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard and Elon Musk's endorsement of Trump helped him win the election. While Kamala Harris accepted the endorsement of Liz and Dick Chaney. That's when I knew that Kamala was going to lose.
Frontline PBS keep the spotlight on everyone handling the infrastructure it prevents tyrants and keeps people that can be corrupted honest….or more honest personal life is personal life …managing the government life spotlight
Leftist crying in the comments
The hardest mirror to look into: realizing you're not the victim in the story, but an unwitting guard for the prison.
Most people see the 'monster' as something out there-the governmen the banks, the elites. They rarely turn the gaze inward to see how their own compliance, their silence, their fear of rocking the boat, makes them a critica part of the machine's operation.
I am free from the treasonous system. I am no longer a criminal’s wage slave. I am the bridge to cross to become free.
I'm severely allergic to orange umpalumpa, what's the treatment for that
our media is so bad
When and where can i watch the full programme?
How about how the government pays for misinformation campaigns and keeps scientific information for their selves? Read between the lines people. Trust ur gut!
Your father would be ashamed of you
The new thing is to try and get the age of legal consent for sex to 12yr olds. Rfk has decided that older men have higher levels of sperm so they can impregnate those girls quicker…… will we have to worry about our daughters being abducted to camps to serve those old men….. will ice, DOJ and homeland security be acting as enforcers and hold those girls down while this atrocity takes place……..what is going on with this country
A Traitor to This Country.
A Disgrace to His Family's Legacy.

Typically, 99.9% of the time, Frontline does a video piece; its total lies. Maybe they will be honest for once, but highly unlikely.
These guys want to ban all vaccines and kill all poor Americans 😂
I sure hope this is unbiased. RFK Jr is a National Treasure.
The other Kennedy members sold their family name for money. Bobby is the only one who stood for the actual Kennedy values.
Ignorant
Why was my comment deleted
The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires
It's important to understand that RFK Jr.'s small g god is Satan. Same as Trump's and all the rest of the evil doers on the "right" and "left". Pharmakeia is of the devil. It is sorcery. It is an abomination to the true God, Lord Jesus. And they ALL push it. TRUE disciples of the Lord Jesus don't touch it. Including OTC & "vitamins". ANYTHING made from toxic chemical poisons in a lab.
The DNC like the RNC is a corrupt organization. I supported and campaigned for Marianne Williamson in 2024. I witnessed DNC corruption in 2016 against Sanders and again in 2020. The hacked DNC emails of 2016, demonstrated complete DNC biased support of Clinton (whom I voted for). In 2024, being in one on one meetings with Williamson's campaign manager and Williamson herself, I witnessed the bias and tactics of the DNC first hand. They would not offer equal support of her, and limited access to primary ballots in various states. It appears Kennedy was targeted too. To keep him off the ballot in as many states as possible the DNC must have spent many millions fighting to keep him off ballots. As you may have suspected, I've been a liberal my entire voting life (since 1980), but I will not support this political party in the future. As George Washington and John Adams have warned, political parties can undermine our democracy and I witnessed this in action multiple times. Boycott these organizations that are undermining our democracy, just as you might boycott other organizations and businesses may harm us or others. Our political parties are undermining our freedoms! We need to act now.
Excellent trailer
🤮
