Our independent presidential candidate, Robert F Kennedy,
junior, expected to announce his running mate this week.
He has an event scheduled on Tuesday in California.
Names such as NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers,
former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura among the names on his
list.
Of course, both are celebrities.
Are these names just getting people's attention,
or is one of them a real possibility,
Marianne, just to get attention?
The name you're going to hear,
I think, is Nicole Shanahan,
a former lawyer, tech lawyer,
now philanthropist, filmmaker, possibly worth up to a billion dollars.
She's the one who created,
finance, placed and paid for the Super Bowl ad for
$4 million.
That was the rip off on 1960 JFK.
Bobby Kennedy angered the whole family.
I think she might be the pick,
Rob. Well, and the reason you're hearing about her is
that she has money.
She can help him get on the ballot in states.
And whether Kennedy impacts the race comes down to how
many states he gets on the ballot on.
To that point. Will the impact,
will it impact the race?
He's pulling 15% of national polls.
So if he's on the ballot in Wisconsin and Arizona,
some of these key states,
he could, he could push it towards Trump.
That's the question. What states is he on?
Which one city gets ballot access to?
And until you pull those states,
you don't know. Yeah. All right.
Let's do best or worse before we wrap things up.
Rob. First, Well, I have a worse week.
It goes to North End restaurant owners who are protesting
Mayor Wu and at other political events.
And frankly, they look ridiculous.
They used public land to their benefit,
sidewalks to push overpriced pasta during the pandemic and afterwards,
and now they're just whining.
They should pocket the profits they got from before and
move on.
Marianne Best week. The Kennedy family,
famously known for its family loyalty,
49 of them showed up on Saint Patrick's Day at
the White House with a guy there called Joe Biden.
Clearly a message to their brother,
cousin, uncle, what have you,
Bobby Kennedy, that they're not with him,
they're with Joe Biden. Message delivered.
So the Red Sox star played this week in Seattle,
and not one of you mentioned that in your best
of worst week.
We know a winner when we see him.
Perennial work Red Sox right now.
Hope springs eternal this time.
Right. And then after a weekend set in Seattle and
it changes all of that real fast.
Marianne, thank you for joining us.
Rob, thank you for joining us,
folks. Thank you for joining us every Sunday.
And remember that every Sunday right here at Channel 5,
we go on the record every day.
