'Can't unsee this': MS NOW panel goes off the rails over 'lunkhead' RFK Jr. video
February 18, 2026
A “workout” video posted by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to X late Tuesday was greeted by gales of laughter and no small measure of disgust and bafflement on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday morning.
With no introduction, the video of the controversial RFK Jr. and aging rocker Kid Rock taking off their shirts and exercising, with Rock’s “Bawitdaba” from 1999 as a soundtrack, was shown, before the “Morning Joe" producers cut to the panel, most of whom were laughing.
Co-host Mika Brzezinski, who opened her mouth and acted like she was gagging, was the first to comment, telling her colleagues, “I don't –– I can't unsee this.”
“Vladimir Putin has met his match,” co-host Joe Scarborough joked while the shirtless Donald Trump appointee did sit-ups while curiously clad in denim jeans.
As the panel continued to laugh, co-host Willie Geist reported, “RFK Jr writes that the two have teamed up to deliver a pair of simple messages to the American people: ‘Get active and eat real food.’ So much there, Joe.”
“Again, can we start with the jeans?” Geist continued. “What's with the jeans?“
Scarborough agreed. “And now he's taking a cold plunge in a hot tub with Kid Rock in a pair of Wranglers? What's going on?”
"That’s sick,“ Brzezinski chimed in.
As the panel continued to laugh and talk over each other, Scarborough observed, “Oh, man. I don't, I — there are no words to express. Just the lunkheads in this administration. It's just unbelievable.”
