Cenk Uygur: ‘For the First Time, Today, I’m Considering RFK Jr.’

UYGUR First let me ░░░░░░░░ you the things I ░░░░░░░░ with The headlines are ░░░░░░░░ He didn t say ░░░░░░░░ Biden is definitely a ░░░░░░░░ threat he said he ░░░░░░░░ make an argument for ░░░░░░░░ And you got to ░░░░░░░░ careful with that And ░░░░░░░░ know what the mainstream ░░░░░░░░ loves to do they ░░░░░░░░ to smear anyone who ░░░░░░░░ an outsider So boom ░░░░░░░░ took that as an ░░░░░░░░ to do that So ░░░░░░░░ s right about that ░░░░░░░░ two he s right ░░░░░░░░ be concerned about Biden ░░░░░░░░ a threat to democracy ░░░░░░░░ maybe not for the ░░░░░░░░ that he s stating ░░░░░░░░ Biden did you know ░░░░░░░░ anti democratic movements within ░░░░░░░░ primary The Democratic Party ░░░░░░░░ the election in Florida ░░░░░░░░ tried to keep out ░░░░░░░░ candidate in North Carolina ░░░░░░░░ etc So they love ░░░░░░░░ rig elections Yes I ░░░░░░░░ the word rigged OK ░░░░░░░░ you can go cry ░░░░░░░░ it if your mainstream ░░░░░░░░ how about you do ░░░░░░░░ job and talk about ░░░░░░░░ they canceled the election ░░░░░░░░ Florida in the primary ░░░░░░░░ just declared Biden the ░░░░░░░░ So if you re ░░░░░░░░ to make the argument ░░░░░░░░ you re a champion ░░░░░░░░ democracy you should probably ░░░░░░░░ it in your own ░░░░░░░░ Third thing he s ░░░░░░░░ about is that the ░░░░░░░░ in a lot of ░░░░░░░░ has killed democracy long ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump tried to ░░░░░░░░ how did they do ░░░░░░░░ They did it with ░░░░░░░░ Donors now can completely ░░░░░░░░ our politics And as ░░░░░░░░ ve explained in Justice ░░░░░░░░ Coming my book there ░░░░░░░░ been Princeton Northwestern study ░░░░░░░░ over 20 years showing ░░░░░░░░ if you re in ░░░░░░░░ bottom 90 percent of ░░░░░░░░ your influence on policy ░░░░░░░░ 0 percent If you ░░░░░░░░ in the top 10 ░░░░░░░░ you have excellent influence ░░░░░░░░ policy Is does that ░░░░░░░░ like a democracy to ░░░░░░░░ So we lost this ░░░░░░░░ long time ago Number ░░░░░░░░ thing he s right ░░░░░░░░ is they re constantly ░░░░░░░░ fear both sides You ░░░░░░░░ the right wing with ░░░░░░░░ the immigrants are coming ░░░░░░░░ LGBTQ people are coming ░░░░░░░░ Muslims are coming Be ░░░░░░░░ be afraid Biden with ░░░░░░░░ my God Trump s ░░░░░░░░ monster he s going ░░░░░░░░ take away everything that ░░░░░░░░ care about Be afraid ░░░░░░░░ afraid So that s ░░░░░░░░ lot I agree with ░░░░░░░░ Jr On So the ░░░░░░░░ why I say it ░░░░░░░░ a trick though is ░░░░░░░░ s trying to have ░░░░░░░░ both ways because he ░░░░░░░░ trying to get Republican ░░░░░░░░ Democratic voters So he ░░░░░░░░ to say something that ░░░░░░░░ appeal to Republican voters ░░░░░░░░ maybe Biden is a ░░░░░░░░ threat to democracy Come ░░░░░░░░ vote for me Then ░░░░░░░░ people get mad at ░░░░░░░░ and yell at him ░░░░░░░░ he thinks he s ░░░░░░░░ to lose Democratic voters ░░░░░░░░ comes out and goes ░░░░░░░░ no no no no ░░░░░░░░ I meant this this ░░░░░░░░ and this So that ░░░░░░░░ the old plausible deniability ░░░░░░░░ right Where you say ░░░░░░░░ to get votes from ░░░░░░░░ side And then when ░░░░░░░░ re caught you say ░░░░░░░░ technically technically I didn ░░░░░░░░ say that But brother ░░░░░░░░ did you frame it ░░░░░░░░ way Now when I ░░░░░░░░ it I m very ░░░░░░░░ about what I m ░░░░░░░░ Whereas he s now ░░░░░░░░ a little bit of ░░░░░░░░ politician and hence plays ░░░░░░░░ games So but the ░░░░░░░░ surprising thing is for ░░░░░░░░ first time today I ░░░░░░░░ now considering RFK Jr ░░░░░░░░ KASPARIAN What UYGUR I ░░░░░░░░ shocking right Ana no ░░░░░░░░ hold on Let me ░░░░░░░░ you why So is ░░░░░░░░ because I think Oh ░░░░░░░░ he s right about ░░░░░░░░ No he s cuckoo ░░░░░░░░ Cocoa Puffs on vaccines ░░░░░░░░ and on several other ░░░░░░░░ where he believes in ░░░░░░░░ theories that I don ░░░░░░░░ believe in at all ░░░░░░░░ why on God s ░░░░░░░░ Earth would I consider ░░░░░░░░ Jr Well until now ░░░░░░░░ hadn t because of ░░░░░░░░ crazy things that I ░░░░░░░░ t come anywhere near ░░░░░░░░ But I thought about ░░░░░░░░ Ana and Trump I ░░░░░░░░ never support in a ░░░░░░░░ years Biden is now ░░░░░░░░ a genocide and is ░░░░░░░░ awful choice has been ░░░░░░░░ his whole life A ░░░░░░░░ you re never going ░░░░░░░░ get anything but corruption ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden So am ░░░░░░░░ positive RFK Jr Would ░░░░░░░░ worse He would probably ░░░░░░░░ health and science definitely ░░░░░░░░ would be worse KASPARIAN ░░░░░░░░ OK just that UYGUR ░░░░░░░░ on everything else like ░░░░░░░░ establishment money out of ░░░░░░░░ I m not positive ░░░░░░░░ Jr Would be worse ░░░░░░░░ Biden.”
