Democrats attacked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hard during his congressional testimony last week, launching personal attacks on the health and human services secretary. But it’s not just congressional Democrats on offense, as his own family is blasting him as an “embarrassment.” Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the Kennedy family’s hypocrisy—especially considering their silence on Ted Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick scandal and JFK’s infidelities—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ This is the irony. What is an embarrassment to the Kennedy family was not Bobby Jr. working for Donald Trump. It really wasn't. It was Ted Kennedy in 1969: a U.S. senator driving off a bridge with Mary Jo Kopechne, allowing her to drown in the car, and then for 24 hours, trying to fabricate a narrative that was completely a lie so he could get out of responsibility. And then using the Kennedy money and leverage in Massachusetts to get off with this, with no criminal exposure at all. A woman was killed. And yet, no one—none of the Kennedys said that he was a predator or he embarrassed them. “ You know what else is an embarrassment right now that Caroline Kennedy should be worried about? Her son, Jack Schlossberg. What has he done? He gets on social media, he made fun of Melania Trump's voice the other day and tried to wear a wig and ridicule her.”

Victor Davis Hanson: ‘Help America, I’ll Help You’: Trump’s Bold Pitch to Big Tech

President Donald Trump held a tech summit last week where a number of notable tech CEOs and gurus—who previously were vehement opponents of Trump—met at the White House. This included former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, members of Google, and more. It’s a quid pro quo: If major tech companies stop offshoring and start investing billions of dollars in the U.S. and create jobs, then Trump will approve their investments, productions, and use of greater energy sources. Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down and explains how this move is similar to what former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt did when World War II broke out on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”  “These CEOs don't like Trump. They're opposed to him ideologically, but they have one thing in common: They're patriotic.”  “Maybe, just maybe, Trump can do for the United States in these emerging, absolutely essential fields of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, robotics, genetic engineering what FDR did in the War Production Board.”
