Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about how Trump and Biden are using the same toxic tactics to scare voters; why he is focusing on policies that unite voters instead of divide them; why problems like the national debt and chronic diseases are a far bigger concern than those that Trump and Biden are focusing on; how societal polarization is being fueled by social media algorithms; how common values and solutions can transcend divisive politics; why leaders must rise above partisanship to tackle issues effectively; the surprisingly simple math behind him taking enough votes from both Biden and Trump to win the presidency; the challenge of gaining ballot access nationwide; how he plans to handle media bias and censorship against his campaign; why he is determined to appeal to voters across party lines by emphasizing his alignment with classic Kennedy-Democratic values; how the mainstream media’s echo chamber manipulates the public with fear; why Biden’s actions pose a greater threat to democracy than Donald Trump; his conversations with Elon Musk about Musk’s battles with lawyers over releasing the Twitter files and proof of the government’s collusion in online censorship; how the government putting pressure on tech companies to censor certain voices threatens First Amendment rights; his recent interview with Erin Burnett on CNN; and much more.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
