Ep. 20 RFK Jr: On Deficits, War, Green Energy, Chronic Disease and Vaccines

Robert Kennedy Jr recently suspended his presidential campaign. He was a unique candidate, with some controversial ideas. While he was running, I talked with him for an hour. RFK Jr told me that he wants to cut government spending, and that he supports freer markets. I was skeptical. What about his previous proposal to ban fracking? His opposition to nuclear energy? To even wind energy? What about the environmental regulations he pushes regarding chemicals in food, and his fear of vaccines? When it comes to foreign policy, he says he supports fewer wars, but what about his support for US funding of Israel? I asked RFK Jr questions about all those things, and fact-checked a few claims at the end. While we often disagree, I am glad he was willing to debate. That’s too rare these days.
