How do you see that playing out, Jeff?

Well, that's interesting, that article in The Hill, and I'm writing a similar article on Maha and the midterms.

And before I go into that, I will say that for those listeners who don't know, I covered the rfk presidential campaign from start to finish for the epic times and then covered the maha movement before recently going out on my own and i cover maha for the maha report and of course i have the lowdown with jeff lauder back on here which is a maha centered program and um also cover maha related issues and regenerative farming for publications so this is something that uh i've gotten to know in depth and i'm passionate about and i think it's interesting because when the rfk presidential campaign when he launched his campaign he was considered a fringe candidate and i i wanted to cover it because i felt that he he was going to be a serious candidate and over as the months passed he uh know i went all over the country covering town halls and events and interviewing him several times and i of course would always in the crowd interview lots of people and i couldn't find anyone who voted for biden it was all current or former trump supporters and most trump's former trump supporters would no longer support him because of operation warp speed and his uh bringing it in and then still praising it and uh And that's kind of happened.

You know, we all know what happened to who follow those of us who are following politics that Trump realized the Trump campaign realized that RFK Jr. had a lot of support and they developed an alliance.

RFK Jr. dropped out and decided to endorse Trump and then became HHS secretary and There's been some Maha wins, but as a whole, the Maha community, I know in that article, I've interviewed all those people and I know them well, Kelly Ryerson, Zinn Honeycutt, Jeff Hutt, who was the National Field Director for Kennedy and is now a Republican political strategist.

People, as many as 9 million people voted for Trump who were aligned with Kennedy.

The estimations are they don't know an exact number.

Vivek? Does he pull it off, by the way?

So I was pretty excited about it, but it's been kind of a, in my opinion, it's been moving at a snail's pace since he's been in office.

Well, I think he's been hamstrung in a lot of areas because He's been able to do like, uh, address food dyes and chemicals, but obviously the big issue I'm working on a story right now on, uh, Maha I'm calling it Maha on the midterms.

The Maha voters that you mentioned that you were excited when RFK Jr joined the Trump campaign, that's how the Maha term really got started.

Cause that was August 23rd of 2024, I believe.

and he left the race and in Arizona, he made that two really good speeches.

And he talked about how, why he was leaving the race and endorsing Trump.

He said, uh, I thank president Trump for giving me the chance to make America healthy again.

And Congressman Thomas Massey fought against that, and I believe... uh you know got something in a bill here recently uh that will help in that matter uh i believe was the farm bill but uh you know that kind of transition is over to that race in the fourth district uh were you surprised that massey lost and lost by nine points

Mm.

People...

You know, when I cover, whether it was RFK, uh, I've covered a lot of high-profile political races, and the, uh, Thomas Massie, Ed Geldern primary is the latest.

But I cover it, I report on it.

I don't inject opinion.

So that's separate from my social media, which, uh, I will write opinion pieces, but based on the same concept of knowledge and research, conversations, interviews.

And it's interesting right now, like, the facts are readily available, but when you talk about the facts, people who are jaded one way or the other, I call it Trump Delusional Syndrome or Trump Derangement Syndrome, which Trump Derangement Syndrome are the people who are far leftist who will complain about anything that Trump does without an open mind, and the Trump Delusional Syndrome people are the people whoThink Trump does no wrong and is not wi- they're not willing to, to question even readily available facts.

Would, would, would you agree?
