Summary

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discuss his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election, his thoughts on key issues such as climate change, woke ideological capture, Big Pharma’s stranglehold on Democrat campaign funding and the legacy media, and how the ideals that unite Americans are stronger than the ones which divide. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a writer, attorney, activist, and politician, who has had a career-spanning focus on clean water, environmental, and public health issues. RFK Jr. is the founder of the Waterkeeper Alliance — the world’s largest clean water advocacy group — and served as its longtime chairman and attorney. In this role, he spearheaded the New York City Watershed Agreement, which has come to be considered an international model for sustainable development and stakeholder consensus negotiation. RFK Jr. was named Time Magazine’s “Hero For The Planet” for his efforts to restore the Hudson River, which along with other achievements has led to more than 300 Waterkeeper organizations taking root across the globe. As nephew of the United States' beloved 35th president, and having dutifully earned his own acclaim across decades of formative work, he is now running for the presidency himself in the 2024 election. - Links - For Robert F.

Hello, everyone. Today I'm speaking with writer, attorney, environmentalist and 2024 presidential

0:22.0

candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. We discuss how the Democratic Party has become one of

0:29.2

fear and ideology. It's inexplicable conclusion with legacy media and big pharma. How the

0:36.3

COVID-19 pandemic became an issue of tribal allegiance. The use of the Doomsday climate narrative

0:42.8

for political gains, what can actually be done with renewable energy and why the era of Kennedy

0:49.5

Democrats cannot only be revived, but uniting for Americans across boundaries, both physical and

0:56.2

philosophical. What made you decide to throw your hat in the ring on the presidency for the

1:02.5

presidency at this point? Well, I saw the country going in a direction and my political party going

1:09.6

into action. That was very troubling to me. The country won really because it needs a reboot.

1:19.1

But the role of my political party, I felt like the Democrats kind of got derailed.

1:26.5

And became the party suddenly and mysteriously of war. When they were always skeptical of the

1:32.2

military and industrial complex, they became the party of censorship, which is important to every

1:39.0

definition of liberalism. They became the party of fear, which is against our traditions. Franklin

1:47.8

Roosevelt in his 1932 inaugural address said that. The only thing that we have to fear is fear

1:55.3

itself. And he understood that fear is a weapon of totalitarian elements and totalitarian control.

2:05.3

It became the party of the Neocons, which again was anithetical. The Neocons were republican,

2:13.1

very, you know, belligerent, pugnacious foreign policy about subduing the world and establishing

2:21.7

Hedge Money through violence. It became the party of Wall Street. President Biden has surrounded

2:29.3

himself with Wall Street. And the party that had forgotten its roots in the middle class of our

2:37.1

country and started regarding people, the cops, the firefighters, the union members, the people

2:46.8

who were the bedrock of the Democratic Party as deplorables. And all of those trends and others

were disturbing to me. And I actually, Jordan started thinking about running before it was
