One year ago, Robert Kennedy, a left-leaning, life-long Democrat, gave the most important political speech of the decade. He put his pride aside, he put his own presidential campaign aside, and he said he would support Donald Trump as the 47th President. Kennedy is an alpha male. Trump is an alpha male. It was a shock for me to see Kennedy give the speech he did, because it meant that he would be tying his future to the, at times difficult-to-work-with, Donald Trump.
Would a long-term relationship between these two alpha males even be tenable? One year into that relationship, I believe they are a team positioned to still be impacting American policy one decade from now and perhaps far beyond that. I believe they will have a friendship and working relationship that will last through their lifetimes.

I could not clearly imagine that vision on the day in August 2024 that Kennedy gave that speech.
There are plenty of reasons to dislike Donald Trump, and there are hundreds of reasons to like him. Even if you do not like him, he has given America a fighting chance again. In all corners of American life, the culture that I refer to as American culture has been given a fighting chance.
American culture is rooted in the Bible as its prime founding document and in the Declaration of Independence as its second most important, along with the Articles of Confederation (1781), the Constitution, early state constitutions, some notable books, some essays, and many letters.
There are conflicts contained within. The declaration of 1776 is written in a very different spirit than the constitution of 1789. An important court case is a founding document— Marbury v. Madison (1803), the court case that I dislike the most, for it is out of line with almost all other founding documents, out of line with the American experiment. It is as out of place as each effort to put central bank control over the money supply in America is out of place. There are, and have always been, prominent veins of freedom versus control in American culture, and where freedom has been allowed, it has largely been a success. Where control has won the battle, it has largely been a failure.
Subduing a free people has long been a goal of those who hate widespread human freedom on this planet.
It is amusing how many people are so triggered by Trump on the left. It is amusing how many people right of Trump consider him to be so flaccid on the issues that matter most.
Trump is a moderate in the Maga movement. For those left of Trump, that means when Trump fails to achieve success at correcting 80 years of neglect after only 3 or 4 years of reform, someone far more extreme than Trump is likely to follow. Those left of Trump, if they had a sound long-term vision, would do their best to support Trump and to release pressure from the American experiment. Unless the American system crumbles, then Trump’s massive success is the only way to avoid someone even more polarizing and extreme coming after him.
Again, Trump is a moderate in the Maga movement. For those to the right, that means constant disappointment from the moderate man when an extreme man is desired. One must not forget that Donald Trump was a long-time Democrat. Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign positions were little different from Bill Clinton’s 1992, or even 1996, campaign positions. In two decades, the political climate changed so much in America that a left-of-center, moderate platform turned into a platform that many seemingly serious people with serious positions reference as Hitlerian in nature.
More than a shift in political position in America, this behavior is more importantly indicative of an erosion of culture, and an erosion of values, as well as an erosion in the belief that there are even such things as values and culture.
For all of his bravado, Trump, again, is a moderate in the Maga movement, and that means so much. He is not always going to make happy the vast and diverse audience to the right of him. He will enrage those to the left of him. He will, again, likely be succeeded by someone far more extreme than him. He is merely breaking ground in that Maga movement. Realistically, a century of neglect may require, two centuries of repair. It is bigger than one man.
And what is that Maga movement?
The Maga movement was shaped by numerous federal politicians and thinkers, among them Ron Paul, Ross Perot, and Pat Buchanan. Ron Paul, primary among that group, through his 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns, changed the trajectory of American politics and made it possible for Trump to run and win in 2016. Ron Paul’s 2008 campaign notably spread Austrian economics far and wide, gave birth to Bitcoin specifically and the cryptocurrency industry in general, and gave birth to the movement known as the Tea Party. Without Ron Paul and without Ron Paul 2008, there would be no Bitcoin, there would be no Tea Party, and there would be no Trump 2016.
As I write this, somewhere between the principled positions of Ron Paul and the relentless high-energy drive of Donald Trump is the definition of what the Maga movement is. That heart of the Maga movement may change over time, but at its roots are those two men, and the clash between their two very different ways. I do not pretend that Ron Paul is Donald Trump’s daily advisor. Ron Paul need not do that, for Ron Paul duplicated himself 17 years ago when he re-entered the national spotlight and gave campaign speeches night-after-night that sounded more like a wizened sage sharing a new challenge to his students rather than sounding like any campaign stump speech. Before the word “meme” meant anything to most people, Ron Paul circulated viral ideas and asked hard questions in a display of memetic aptitude that continues to infect and affect the entire American and global political spectrum.
That heart of the Maga movement may change over time, but at its roots are those two men, and the clash between their two very different ways — though in many ways there are similarities as well. Yes, similarities between the obstetrician Dr. Paul and the real estate developer Mr. Trump.
Those who know the Trump family, know that there has been a vaccine injury in the family. It made sense, then, in 2016 why Donald Trump invited Robert Kennedy to Trump Tower in New York City and tapped Kennedy to lead a vaccine safety commission in the new administration. And it was with great sadness that I watched Donald Trump pull the plug on that commission.
Neither of them have ever provided an explanation that satisfied me as to why that collaboration ended.
There could be no draining of the swamp without addressing that important issue of medical tyranny in our lives. Before his term was out, under Trump’s watch, the greatest single example of global medical tyranny had occurred beginning on or around the Ides of March 2020, and arguably extending to this present day. Had Kennedy held a position of trusted advisor to him, 2020 might have looked different.
I cannot imagine how difficult it was for Kennedy to have gotten over the hurdle that Trump again would not have his back. But in August 2024, when the world, I believe, looked different than it does today, Kennedy stopped his campaign and began to campaign in a full-throated and passionate way for Trump, with the hope that he would be placed in a role to implement his Maha vision for America.
Down to the very end of the confirmation process, I knew that Trump could again simply drop Kennedy. But that did not happen.
And no matter what anyone ever says about Elon Musk, I will forever be grateful that he was the target who took so much heat from the media, from politicians, and from the public for the first one hundred days or so of the administration, which allowed for Kennedy and others to not be the daily target. If Elon Musk were not daily headline news with the Department of Government Efficiency, then I do not believe we would have seen Robert Kennedy confirmed by the Senate as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Kennedy would have been the one taking heat.
Of all the good that Trump has done (and out of the bad things too), if allowed to play out, the single most important impact of Trump’s presidency to date will be the Robert Kennedy nomination to Secretary of HHS.
I am not a single issue voter. I do not lightly turn against anyone. I have a great deal of loyalty and patience. My values are sacrosanct to me, and I know that no politician will ever meet my criteria 100% of the time, since that is simply not how politics works.
When I speak to people or observe those born approximately 1975 or earlier, I notice something — I notice a connectedness with others. When I speak to people born approximately 1980 or later, or observe them, I notice that lack of connectedness. The five years between are a gray area. I can almost always tell, by personality, what side of that divide a person is on. Something fundamental changed in the lives of American children at that time. And while I don’t know for certain what it is, I have a hunch what some of the culprits may be. The change in vaccine formulas and the change in vaccine frequency and timing are the culprits highest on my list.
Kennedy has spent the last two decades of his life being shunned by family, respectable society, the media, his party, and the public. That is because he has focussed primarily on the question of, “What is happening to the brains of American children?”
Something is very wrong. Autism, as one example, once a 1 in 10,000 child concern in 1970, has become a concern of some 1 in 31 children and perhaps as many as 1 in 12.5 boys, as Kennedy pointed out in the August 26, 2025 Cabinet Meeting.
One of the culprits he has pointed to are vaccines. But it need not stop there. There may be other culprits. And unfortunately for America, government has been so complicit in silencing him. Social media companies and search engines and many other industries have been so cooperative with government in silencing him. Media and entertainment have been so obedient to big pharma in silencing him and marginalizing anyone with his concerns.
I would love to see Kennedy continue to do his work outside of government, because I think government is a place for the second-rate so often and not worth the time of someone of Kennedy’s caliber. However, 2020 has reminded us that government is so large that if we do not tend to that leviathan, it will destroy so much of the life of so many of us and at a whim.
The August 2025 Cabinet Meeting showed me something important, as did the announcements that were timed alongside it: America has reached “peak vaccine.”
Last year, children had the Covid shot forced on them, likely to never happen again. Before the year is out, there will almost certainly be a national reduction in the required number of childhood vaccines to attend school. Florida this week, on September 3, 2025, became the first state to remove some mandates as their state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo made history by ending the following vaccine mandates, which are in his power to do without an act of the state legislature: chickenpox, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), hepatitis B, and pneumococcal disease.
Florida statutes currently require school children to get immunized against seven illnesses: polio, diphtheria, measles, whooping cough, mumps and tetanus. These remain in place and can only be removed by an act of the legislature.
If Kennedy’s work is allowed to play out, America will have reached peak vaccine.
This three generation period we have lived through will one day soon be looked at with as much disbelief as the period of the lobotomy, and with far greater horror.
That we have reached peak vaccine may not mean much to you. I know there are many it does not mean much to. They note the purported side effects of vaccines and say to themselves and others, “It will never happen to us, so why not just comply?” I hope this never happens to you, but until you have held a little baby in your arms, totally healthy until that day, having seizure-after-seizure after being given her first vaccines that morning, then maybe you won’t believe the reality of the purported side effects. Maybe you won’t, until then, feel touched by the work Kennedy is doing.
I do feel touched by it.
Every time that I speak to someone born after 1980, I feel touched by it. I can see the disconnect. Something very bad happened in America. And few will talk about it, let alone take it seriously. Three generations have had extensive neurological harm done to them in large numbers through some cause, and I am very sensitive to how prevalent that is.
Kennedy was a target before, but he is more of a target now as his first year of collaboration with Donald Trump begins to bear fruit. Generations of parents and doctors and other experts are soon to look like the most vile kind of mass murderers for dispensing advice that has killed and maimed widely across at least three generations.

Kennedy is not just talking about it, but is doing something about it. He is redirecting funding to the research that will point to what the problems may be. He is amassing the hidden data that no one has ever been shown.
This will make him many times more the assassination target than he was before. This will make him many times more the subject of attack than he was before.
Now your job must be to do something about it.
I write asking you to talk constantly with others about this topic, to share your experiences, to watch his work, and to share it, to share it everywhere you can, with whatever audience you have, whether your audience in size and the reach of your influence be 10 people in size or 10 million people in size. Each one of us has been given reach.
The White House can accomplish some neat things. But I am a believer in freedom, so I recognize the most important of those things done by the White House are the ways they shape culture — not through grand social engineering projects, but through the leadership from that bully pulpit. A good leader can encourage so many without spending a penny and without enacting a new regulation.
I ask you to pay special attention to Kennedy’s vaccine work and neurological work and to make yourself a defender of that work, a supporter of that work, and one of the circulators of that work.
America’s brightest days are ahead. Our individual efforts in our own lives are able to make that statement a reality.
