Description: Charlie Sykes speaks with The Atlantic’s Michael Scherer about his in-depth cover story on Robert F.

Scherer discusses Kennedy’s complicated personal history, his fraught relationship with scientific institutions, and his unexpected alliance with Donald Trump. The conversation explores what Kennedy’s ascent reveals about a country losing trust in expertise—and why understanding him matters, even for his critics. Hosted on Acast.
