Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., also known by his initials RFK Jr., is an American politician, environmental lawyer, author, conspiracy theorist, and anti-vaccine activist serving as the 26th United States secretary of health and human services since 2025. A member of the prominent Kennedy family, he is a son of Senator and US attorney general Robert F. Kennedy and a nephew of US president John F. Kennedy and US senator Ted Kennedy. On podcasts including The Megyn Kelly Show, Lex Fridman Podcast, and This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, Kennedy has discussed and promoted several books.

He also discussed his book American Values in the context of the historical relationship between his family and the Central Intelligence Agency. Additionally, Kennedy recommended James Douglass's book JFK and the Unspeakable as an essential resource for examining the evidence and research surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
