Barry. Thank for posting this video with commentary. I believe it to be one of the most important political speeches of my lifetime and made the following comment on the Team Kennedy's YouTube video post.
'I'm British and have an extraordinarily low view of the current US administration, which I believe is overseeing the final stages of destruction of democracy, freedom and security on a global basis, let alone in your own once great country. In terms of vision, I may be wrong, but I would draw some parallels with where DT had tried to redirect policy. Unlike DT though, RFK Jr. has a far greater ability to articulate and explain not only his reasoning behind his vision but a path that can not only bridge divides with regard to foreign policy but also stamp out the very divisive nature of internal policy (and without the rather unfortunate theatre of DT delivery). I see this man as the leader that electorates from all our supposed democratic and free countries should will to be the next President of the United States and hope that we can all find like minded leadership to be elevated in our own countries where we are all suffering with leadership of the lowest quality that I have experienced in my seventy years of life.
This is simply one of the most important speeches I have ever watched and I cannot understand why it has not got far more views than the 85K it has received in the three weeks since it was posted.'
Thanks very much for this post Barry. I am my 12 year old son's history teacher and we listened to this speech today and read through your links as well. RFK Jr is willing to say what must be said at a critical time.
We just finished going through the Civil War and some of Lincoln's speeches. He noted how many mocked Lincoln back then and now he's recognized as a great leader. Exactly! Leadership involves saying hard truths when they're not popular. Thanks again!
Andre, Thank you for reading and commenting. Being on the campaign trail is grueling but RFK Jr. is not mentally fatiguing himself by disguising his beliefs like every other politician.

Peter, I agree that if the world makes it, this speech will be considered historic.
RFK is the only candidate being vulnerable on long form podcasts ad taking on tough questions, besides Vivek on the right.
Exactly. In any upcoming essay I address why many people still sadly prefer liars.

Jeff, Thank you for teaching your son and letting us know. Exactly, about "hard truths." There is hope!
Excellent speech and great commentary. RFK Jr. speaks what he thinks and believes and that alone is a breath of fresh air.
