gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-08-22 00:10:13

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 podcas
