Isabel Vincent joins Joanna Coles to unpack her new book on Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a portrait drawn from his own secret diaries, which were acquired by his late wife Mary Richardson Kennedy during their brutal divorce. What emerges is a man at war with himself: driven by legacy, consumed by guilt, and propelled by appetites—for power, for women, for redemption—that he can’t seem to control. Vincent traces the arc from grief-stricken Kennedy heir to anti-vaccine crusader and unlikely political force, revealing the family trauma, addiction, and relentless ambition that shaped him. Along the way, they unpack the myth and machinery of the Kennedy dynasty and the unsettling question at its heart: How is it that a man who once wrote of humility, service, and God now finds himself wielding influence over the health of millions?
