Yeah. Well, one, they weren't hearings because no one was hearing anyone. It was like an interrogation. Honestly, it was the first time that I ever watched a Senate confirmation hearing live, the Kennedy hearing. And one of the first things I noticed was there was just a lack of genuine curiosity on the part of the senators who were questioning him.

Because you have Bernie Sanders go up there and, you know, show baby onesies and talk about the baby onesies and how they evidence that he's an anti-vaxxer when RFK is saying, hey, I'm not even a part of that organization. I can't control whether they sell these onesies. And then Bernie Sanders is like shouting him down. Do you denounce these onesies? The entire tone of the conversation was like,

an interrogation. It was punitive. It was like, let me catch you on something and confirm my existing belief and show everyone that I'm right and you're wrong and you're a bad person. I'm a good person.

Similarly with Elizabeth Warren, you know, I made a video on this of all, pretty much all the hearings and like some of the most vitriolic moments, literally shouting him down and just cutting him off before he asks a question, before he answers a question. And What it showed me was, oh, okay, these people are not actually interested in the truth.

They're actually convinced they already know the truth, and what they're trying to do is appear right, rather than be genuinely open to having their views updated. So it's no surprise to me that now that RFK is actually in office, this is continued.

Because when people are so convinced that they're right, it clouds their opinions and makes it impossible for them to even consider the idea that they're wrong. And then when you layer on financial incentives, incentives to need to get elected, incentives to get clicks on the behalf of news organizations, it becomes very difficult to even have an honest conversation.

So yeah, the confirmation hearings are just political theater. I suspect they've largely always been the case. But this particular set of confirmation hearings, not just RFK with Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth, the tone was particularly emotional.

If you even compare it to the last set of hearings for Biden's candidates, because I think it's always been the case that both Democrats and Republicans were trying to beat the other team. And I think that's just kind of how politics operates. And there's an inherent level of tribalism that we're probably never going to be able to get rid of entirely.
