RFK Jr., Peter Bergen talk 1-on-1

On today’s episode of the new weekly politics podcast In the Room with Peter Bergen, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joins Peter Bergen (CNN’s National Security Analyst, the first journalist to nab a television interview with Osama bin Laden) for a wide ranging-discussion on Kennedy’s domestic and foreign policy positions. 

During the episode, titled “1-on-1 with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,” Bergen probes Kennedy’s unrelenting skepticism about a wide range of topics that go beyond his usual repertoire (i.e. his views on vaccines), to cover the 2024 Democratic Presidential candidate’s stances on issues such immigration, the fentanyl crisis, and China.

In this lengthy sit-down, Kennedy offers blistering critiques of the Biden Administration and expounds on many of his opinions that run directly afoul of the Democratic establishment, like those on the pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, plus surprising opinions on 9/11 and the moon landing.
