0:00.0	Welcome everybody. I don't know that there's anyone in my core audience who is still
0:11.4	considering supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in November.
0:16.0	But if you are, this is yet another story that I think really should expose the nakedly self-centered motivations of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in running for
