This is Michael Popak, Legal AF. We got a presidential candidate for sale, presidential candidate for sale. And it's not named Donald Trump. It's named Robert F. Kennedy Jr., RFK Jr. He doesn't know whether he's coming or going, and he's been on some sort of bender or some sort of a hangover since the killing a bear cub

and leaving it in Central Park story came out. This is on the heels of the brain worm story coming out. And now we hear that he's like a human weathervane. He'll sell himself to the highest bidder. I thought Donald Trump was transactional. RFK Jr. is worse, if that's possible. Two weeks ago, we reported, and the New York Times also reported

that RFK Jr. reached out through intermediary Sakamala Harris and offered his services in return for a cabinet position. He dropped out of the race and his five or seven percent, whatever that number is, I think it's much lower than that. I think it's probably more like two or three percent of the general electorate, but he would drop out and he would endorse Kamala Harris and all of her policies and her administration and her presidency. Well, she want nothing to do with the brain worm eating, bear cup killing RFK Jr. Anti-vaxxer, I could continue.

So now we've got new reporting, and we knew this was coming, that RFK Jr. has reached out and had direct contact with the Trump people and the Trump campaign and Donald Trump himself offering his services in return for endorsing Donald Trump trying to take all of his 2 or 3 percent or whatever that number finally is and try to convert it over to Trump votes in return for, wait for it, a cabinet position or something that doesn't require congressional confirmation or Senate

confirmation, which is probably a smart move given the state of affairs as of right now. So now let me try to piece all this together so we can keep this running continuum of the, we have a word for this in politics and law, it's called mishegas. You can look it up. It's a Yiddish word for craziness. The craziness around RFK Jr. Again, I thought the craziest story I was gonna hear is that he accidentally killed a beer cub and then left it in Central Park as a joke. Okay, this is what this guy finds funny.

What I find funny is that this guy's values are non-existent. His moral compass is cracked and he's just selling himself to the highest bidder. I mean, he's got some sort of, saying she's a vice presidential candidate is like saying, I don't even know what this is the equivalency of, but she is, I guess, Nicole Shanahan picked by RFK Jr. for the fantasy presidency that he will never accomplish, the president that will never be. Nicole Shanahan on a recent podcast said that they are now seriously considering, I guess now that they've been burnt and ignored and jilted by Kamala Harris,

they're now considering throwing their votes to Donald Trump because they don't want to have, in her words, it would be a nightmare to have Kamala Harris and Tim Walz win. That's not the country she wants to live in. She'd rather live in the world of Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Peter Thiel, the Silicon Valley billionaire which she mentioned by name, rather than Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and then she mentioned Reid Hoffman who runs LinkedIn as if these billionaire tech giants are controlling American policy. How do I know all this? Because she went on a recent right-wing podcast

and let's play a clip from that. Here's Nicole Shanahan. But I will say that if we are splitting hairs, I would much rather, I mean, obviously, I'd much rather see Bobby and I in the White House. I think we'd do a much better cleaner, transparent, less corrupt job around all of these things. But if we're splitting hairs,

I would say that I trust the future of this country more under the leadership of the Trump and the Theos and the JD Vances than I do right now of the Harris's and Reid Hoffman's. Okay, just two weeks ago, he said everything was hunky dory and fine with the Kamala Harris and Tim Wall's campaign because he was willing to join them and join their cabinet.

Now it's apocalyptic if they win. I mean, do they not believe that videos and audio recorders exist and that we'll be able to get our hands on them or that we can keep in our minds the continuity of thought related to some of these things and the illogic of it? This just doesn't track. Now about you might have remembered and if not, I'll bring it up right here and tie these knots together.

Sorry, tie myself up at knots. Connect these dots together. That's what I was trying to say. In a secret phone call recorded, we had a copy of it, we ran it on the Midas Touch Network, right after Butler, Pennsylvania, whatever that thing happened to Donald Trump there, all I know is he's walking around. I've seen more aftercare related to a ear piercing gone awry, then whatever happened to his ear in Butler, Pennsylvania, I still claim it had to be some sort of concussive event,

some sort of PTSD, because his first thought, his first rational thought after whatever happened in Butler happened was for Donald Trump to pick JD Vance as his vice president. How's that going? How's that going for you? Talk about a drowning

man being thrown an anchor instead of a life preserver. Wow. With this summer heat whoa I've been craving all sorts of cold treats ice cream popsicles lemonade you name it but I found something even better that satisfies my sweet tooth and keeps me hydrated liquid IV.

And the best part, it's not just a treat, it's extraordinary hydration

It's sugar-free, but tastes just like the real thing. It's become my go-to for staying hydrated during long summer days or just surviving the summer heat.

So right after Butler, Pennsylvania, and if you guys remember that was just the day before so that the convention was starting in Milwaukee for the Republican National Committee,

there was a phone call between RFK Jr. and Trump. Now, remember he's already now been jilted or refused or rejected, jilted is the wrong word, rejected by Kamala Harris. And now he's rushing, because he's trying to leverage his one, two, three, 5%, whatever that number ends up being. And at this rate, it's gonna be south of 2%.

He's trying to leverage it any way he can in order to, because his ship's about to sink, he's got to find some place to go to continue my maritime nautical references. And so he's trying to find if he can get himself into the Trump administration. His big, before he became this, this weirdo election denier, anti-vaxxer of the first order, he was a reasonably successful environmental lawyer. I assume he wants to be this, this, this is a God forbid he wants to be in charge of

things related to children's health as an anti-vaxxer talks a lot about children's health and how he's so concerned about it or and or environment like he wants to be maybe like deputy environmental protection agency head I don't know but there was a secret phone call. We have a clip for it right here. Let's play that. a vaccination that is like 38 different vaccines. And it looks like it's meant for a horse, not a 10 pound or 20 pound baby. It looks like you should be giving a horse this. And do you ever see the size of it, right?

You know, it's massive. And then you see the baby all of a sudden starting to change radically. I've seen it too many times. And then you hear that it doesn't have an impact, right? But you and I talked about that a long time ago. And anyway, I would love you to just start, and I think it would be so good for you,

and so big for you. And we're gonna win. We're gonna win. We're way ahead of the guy. And you know, he said to us, it was very nice actually, he called me. And he said, how did you choose to move to the right? So I guess people said, you know, if I was looking straight up, right?

He said, I was just showing a chart. I didn't have to tell him the chart was on all the people pouring into our country. But, uh, would just turn my head to show the joy and something wrapped me it felt like a giant like the world's largest mosquito and uh it was it was the bullet going around you know what did they call that an ar-15 or something that was a big gun those are pretty pretty tough guns? So this is all within the last two or three weeks. Tried for Kamala, tried to leverage as a transaction his two or three percent, whatever cloudy things he has, to try to trade it in now, right? Cash in his chips now to try to leverage

himself into a some sort of cabinet or cabinet-like role in the Harris administration. Failing that, he then, through his vice president candidate, Nicole Shanahan, who's out, you never heard of her before either, out in California, she then crapped on the Harris Walls campaign and said, that's apocalyptic and I can't go there and I gotta stay with Trump and I got to stay with Trump.

Trump's better for America than these two. That's odd because your guy, not you, because you were VP, but your guy was trying to get a job for himself in that administration. Then you have Butler, Pennsylvania. And then Donald Trump calls him in his wacky, deranged, destabilized state. And these two start talking and vibrating off each other. And there there's some discussion about, again, I'll give you all my votes in return for I'll give you an endorsement and all my votes and you give me a position in

your administration. Candidate for sale named RFK Jr. all over again. And we've got the receipts. We've got Nicole Shanahan on the podcast, we got the secret recording, we got the reporting by the New York Times and Washington Post about the overtures by RFK Jr. to Kamala Harris. And then again, he's circling the drain and so is his campaign. He's not getting any new dollars. He's not going to be debating. He's not going to be allowed on the stage. And people thought, oh, he'll end up with numbers that are rival like Ross Perot, who is our most successful third party candidate, even after John Anderson. He's not going to come close to Ross Perot.

He's not going to come close to eight, nine, 10%. He's going to be like one, one and a half, maybe two. Because people don't want to waste their vote in order to empower a third-party candidate or a third-party party to get the threshold five percent so that they can get federal funding. And nobody nobody thinks of it that way. They're voting with their purse, their pocketbook, and for women they're voting with their bodies and not wanting to be second-class citizens ever again in this country. We're beyond vaccines for COVID, RFK Jr. We're beyond that, right?

We're, you know, that's not our concerns. That's not in the top five of voter concerns. I don't think anybody at this moment is gonna waste their vote for some sort of symbolic, you know, pat on the back for a third party candidate. It's not gonna happen. People are going to, when it comes time to actually vote

in early voting, which starts in September in most states, mail-in voting, same thing. Donald Trump, look, Donald Trump already early voted or mailed in voted in Palm Beach County. We've seen pictures of that. Well, once people start voting, actually voting, right? Pulling the lever, the digital or otherwise lever, licking the stamp, mailing in the ballot

and votes get counted, people aren't gonna throw it away on RFK Jr. and all of his conspiracy theories. I mean, all of the other matriarchs and patriarchs of the Kennedy family are spinning in their grave like a rotisserie chicken on RFK Jr. His entire family, including our ambassador to Australia, Caroline Kennedy, his niece, and niece or cousin, oh, cousin, sorry, cousin, and the rest of the family have all shunned RFK Jr. The only one that hasn't shunned him apparently

is his wife who played Larry David's wife on Curb Your Enthusiasm. That's the only thing she got going for. That's the only thing he has got going for him. The rest of it is I killed a bear cub and I left it in Central Park because I thought it'd be funny. I got a brain worm.

These are the credentials for somebody that people are gonna vote vote for? Come on. We're going to continue to follow the strange and curious case of RFK Jr., the human weather vane.
