    Weekly Pod: The RFK Biography NY Post writer Isabel Vincent takes on another controversial topic

    Friends, join us this week for a conversation with journalist/author Isabel Vincent. You last saw her here chronicling the federal case against NJ Senator Bob Menendez (currently in federal prison, where Isabel amply demonstrated he belongs…). Now, it’s a just-released book on yet another compelling figure of our times: RFK, Jr. And wow, did we learn a lot. For instance: Did you know Jr. not only believes Sirhan Sirhan did not kill his father — but believes he knows who did? Did you know that there’s a good chance he is going to challenge for the Presidential nomination in 2028 — and has a shot? Or may instead play spoiler by splitting the Republican vote? Did you know this crusader for Americans’ health was a heroin addict — for 14 years? Did you know there’s a secretive corporation that houses the Kennedy money, going all the way back to Joe, Sr (You recall him — the bootlegger who worked with the mafia)? Did you know that many of the other Kennedys hate his guts? And campaign against him? And that he could care less? These are just some of the facts Isabel — who obtained access to Kennedy’s diaries, believe it or not — teases out in her newly published biography. It’s fascinating material regarding one of today’s most compelling figures — by one of today’s most compelling journalists. So while the general public continues to see Kennedy as just the standard-bearer for MAHA, suffice to say that he’s thinking in larger terms. And with the first truly informed biography on him, Isabel discovers why (yes, there is indeed, “a plan”) (he’s not a Kennedy for nothing, people). So join us for a wide-ranging discussion of the definitive book on the man who could swing the next presidential election: RFK, JR: The Fall And Rise, by Isabel Vincent.
