for the democratic nomination for president and a new poll has him at 19%. i m michael smerconish in philadelphia. here s my conversation with robert f. kennedy jr. robert, president biden has a bust of your father in the oval office. when you see that, what do you think? i m honored by it. you know, i have a lot of admiration for president biden for the service that he s given to our country. i ve known him. he s been my friend, my close family friend for 40 years. you know, there s nothing personal about this campaign. i am not going to run a mean spirited campaign against president biden. he and i just differ really dramatically on the issues like the war, like censorship, like the control of wall street and the big corporations, of our federal government and the pharmaceutical companies and also the use of fear as a governing tool. i think our country is headed in a bad direction. that s why i m running, but not because i lack personal affection for president biden. i

and give it some chili pepper. advertising is based on one thing, happiness. is there any taboo that you wouldn t break? not if there was a funny idea. what is wrong with you? there s so much different storytelling, and so many different stories being told about so many different people. i don t think dramatic series television has ever been stronger. there s no longer this theory of what popular entertainment must be. incoming! who are the heroes? the people who watch this show. this is the week when the major broadcast networks unveil their full lineup of shows. and every executive in hollywood knows how well the sopranos is doing on cable, which is a network problem. i think hbo altered everything for this reason alone, is there were no commercials. we are dependent on sponsors. right. there is so much we can do in terms of language, in terms of violence, and in terms of sex. to a large degree, a lot of executives were just sanding off the edg
