THIS . . . was superlative!!! One of, if not, THE BEST synopsis's I've read!!!! And not only about the interview itself but RFK Jr's stance on everything! YOU should submit it to his campaign because his website is terrible! This really, really explained everything not only thoroughly but succinctly as well!!

I keep looking for the perfect bumper sticker and or yard sign and you've come up with some great wording to describe him! Thanks for all the effort and hard work that went into this!

He too needs to learn from it as he is way to verbose at times and doesn't answer questions directly (at first) but rather segues into the answer which makes him appear dishonest - which he is also anything BUT!!

Again this was excellent!!!

I agree with your views on this. Note Bill Ackman sweetened the debate pot by $150,000.

RFK Jr's position on nuclear power was touched on in the Twitter spaces RFKJr did with Elon. He was anti nuclear but seemed sheepish on the topic as if he knew he needed to do more study. The most interesting thing he said was that private industry would not provide insurance to nuclear power plants implying the risk is too high. He did not mention that the nuclear industry self insures through an industry wide pool. A plant cannot get a license to operate without membership in the pool.

So, was Fukushima insured? Will the effects of the radiation being released into the ocean be covered?

My knowledge in this area is limited, but I found this article if you want to learn how nuclear power is insured. As in life there are no perfect solutions, to power generation only tradeoffs.

Thanks for the informative link - as you stated: no perfect solutions. I found no mention of liability for ocean systems/life, only land/people, meanwhile the radioactive waste water is constantly pouring into the ocean. There's also that situation of privatizing profits and socializing liabilities. Its complicated! Nevertheless, the focus right now must be on getting RFK Jr. elected. Talk about the "smartest guy in the room...!"

Yes, and this applies broadly. The liability of gain-of-function research was socialized with a worldwide pandemic leading to enormous profits for the vaccine industry.

After this episode I definitely feel like RFK is my top candidate for president.

One other question or concern is his Israel stance.

The interaction with regional stability and the danger to the lives of many may require a less than noble stand to be made in the near and medium term. In the long term that situation really needs to be unpacked and reasonable compromises need to be negotiated. A continuous state of war in the region only serves the Military industrial Complex.

If that was the only hard question put to RFK Jr that he was unwilling to answer then I would still give him a pass.

Some things need to be at least partially resolved before they can be exposed. Global reliance on fossil energy has warped the situation beyond any reasonable resolution.

Well done! And: each and every question we would ask RFK Jr, we must also ask Biden.

Biden has a long list of questions that he has failed to answer over the years that are rather specific to him.

Sure the same questions for all the candidates and explanations for all theories that would have been cause for termination of any less well connected person.

Perhaps if you are on Twitter you could pose the questions to RFK Jr or Joe Rogan and see if they can be answered. The plane trips are a red flag but being chaperoned and not frying to Epstein Island does rather bleach most of the red out of it. Why he would consort with Epstein at all is unclear but perhaps a reasonable explanation will surface one day.

If those are the only hard questions that RFK Jr needs to address then I think he would make a great statesman. :-)

He did answer it for Whitney Webb and even had her as a guest on his podcast several times

Of course the Dems will not let him through, but warning to the GOP: if you run a RINO and RFK is the Dem candidate, I will vote blue for the first time in my life.
