A defender of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is asked who takes payments on the Health Secretary's behalf. He guesses a relative. He guesses the wrong one. He already suspected the money was close to home; he just did not think it counted.

On Jubilee's Surrounded, Doctor Mike takes the centre seat against twenty RFK Jr. supporters. Jack, the challenger opposite him, could not be more courteous. He says "sir" throughout, and he arrives with the movement's founding doctrine intact: follow the money, because payments create bias, and a paid expert has earned your suspicion.

Steve breaks down the method: why granting your opponent's principle is the strongest move on the board when the principle is a good one, how to get a standard signed in public before you test it, and what happens to a man who follows the money the moment it leads home.

There is no shouting, no gotcha, and the word "hypocrite" is never used once. It is the most polite destruction you will ever see.

Dr Mike was truly outstanding in this Jubilee debate. He listened, wasn’t patronizing and was respectful to each person…and then destroyed them in the debate with facts.

@avi8r66 12 days ago

I don't have his patience. These people siding with clearly corrupt agents, like RFK Jr, Trump, etc, are a cancer to society.

the reason Mike doesn't push a point he could clearly win, is he isn't interested in 'winning' a debate. That doesn't accomplish anything, the 'loser's will just make up an excuse and stick to their anti-science religion. Mike is teaching here. He's going to the point where any reasonable person can see the issue with a position, and then - instead of going for the kill - asks a reasonable question that coaches his 'opponent' through their excuse and still showing the error. He makes them reason their way to realizing they are wrong, themselves. They can't just dismiss it as just a claim he made, it was all their own statements.

If they weren't so destructive in their delusions I'd actually feel bad for them. Unfortunately these people refuse to do even a little critical thinking.

‘Armed with statistics he half-remembers seeing once’😂 that’s an amazing way to generalize the movement

You see it's okay when RFK Jr. takes money because... I don't know

Joe Biden was NEVER allowed to misspeak, even with a stutter…but RFK Jr. can spout literal nonsense made up crap and they defend it?

when a figure on the left does something slightly wrong

"As a show of good faith and integrity we have fed them to a tank of starving sharks"

when a figure on the right breaks literally all the rules and hasn't said a truthful statement since the 90s

🙉🙈🙊

Dr. Mike was genuinely trying to help these folks and educate the public rather than merely score rhetorical points. He is a gifted communicator

RFK jr is a dangerous maniac

I don’t even remember Kennedy retracting his remarks on Tylenol and I am sure many Americans missed that as well. And that is the problem with disinformation…most people only hear the original remarks. Fox has been doing it for years. Say something false to millions and then put a small retraction out later that nobody will see or hear.

The absolutely seamless transition to "Does secretary Kennedy make money?" Jesus christ bro Dr Mike going in for the KILL

"How Dr. Mike exposed the MAHA Movement."

It's a low bar to expose the MAHA "movement" given it's barely a movement.

I am no scientist- I am however the father of an ASD child. I now many families with ASD children in them, ranging all over the spectrum. Would you like to know why IDGAF about anything RFK has to say about Autism and how I know he doesn't actually care about it? Because they haven't said shit about spectrum support- they aren't talking about families that are currently dealing with it and how to HELP them. They aren't talking about expanding IEPs or raising funding for ABAs or incentives for training more RBTs, or having more ESE support in schools or expanding disability support and funding. Because all the energy they are putting into " the Autism issue" is preventative, they want to find out that they are right and its Vaccines. And that is ALL they want, and even if he did find a way to prevent it, and that was cause for celebration- it would not make a bit of difference in the lives of the people who are currently living with it.

27:18 EXACTLY!!! That crowd ALWAYS uses emotions against their opponents but suddenly when it’s their own team it’s admirable

There is an association between prenatal fevers and autism. Fevers are treated with Tylenol. Why is it a surprise that Tylenol is also associated with autism? There is an association between children’s reading levels and shoe size. That’s because older children have bigger feet. Association is not causation.
