Keeping up with the Kennedys: RFK Jrs run for the White House
JFK\u2019s nephew is taking on Biden and Trump as an independent. He\u2019s a big outsider but his high polling numbers are worrying the main parties, who fear that his bi-partisan policies could steal votes.
Sarah, Anthony and Marianna talk about who RFK Jr is, why he\u2019s running, and if he lives up to his reputation as one of America\u2019s most famous conspiracy theorists. And they get to the bottom of how he came to have a dead worm in his brain.
