RFK, Jr.'s 90 second monologue on nature and man and divinity is jaw-droppingly beautiful. God forgive me for thinking this man was a crackpot tree hugger.

The media has done a great job in making everyone believe he is a crackpot tree hugger. The media is evil, vile, criminal and must be defeated as much as the Democrats must be defeated.

By random chance, I happened to publish an essay on this exact topic at the same time — explaining how all the outdoor institutions have basically been captured by the left. Real conservation is conservative (duh)

His positions have evolved and age has softened him in a good way. Go back and listen to his stuff 15+ years ago. I just posted about his God / Environmentalism. It was profound.

Well, he is a crackpot tree hugger.... but aren't we all? In some form or fashion? To someone else at least? I don't like all of his policies or beliefs, but I like enough of them to work around those I oppose. And his record of persistency speaks for itself, in my opinion.

Democratic machine will dismiss, degrade, berate, ridicule these candidates like RFK JR and TRUMP as they consolidate. 60 years since JFK assassination, all persons involved are dead. It's about protection of institutional power

Weaponization of federal agencies by Harris and Biden to manipulate social media controls to take out political opposition.

Harris and Biden got into power and they implemented a portal for feds to use social media to attack independent voices like RFK JR who can now take Biden et al to court -on 1st Adm, censorship. Federal judge signed off, stating JR had a reasonable chance of winning his case.

Still, Democratic Party sue to kick RFK JR off the ballot in BLUE states. Democratic Party is threatened by RFK JR but publicly (!!!) says they're "laughing him off" and ridicule him as "crazy". If he's not a political threat they'd not be wasting resources. REPEAT: The Party is threatened by RFK JR ballot votes in BLUE states.

Behind the scenes, Kamala Harris and her elite donor-class multibillionaires are freaking out. They are really scared for the first time in a long time, that a populist vote could finally result in corrupt federal institutions audited and exposed by legal decrees.

And scared they are!

Trump is hyper-individualist aka egomaniac aka assassin's bullet dodging antihero extraordinaire.

And as much as smarmy politicos try to bait and lure you into apathy and suppress the populace vote with misdirection and "psychobabble" poli-wonk poppycock intent on making you feel outnumbered, alone, abandoned, poor and isolated, the hard reality is --all you've got to do is show up and vote.

And they want to browbeat, then passive-aggressively turn around and shower us with love, of course. They work you until you fold your hand and go home. They've always done this and it shows in the internal numbers -the liberal voter apathy is real -it's so very real, it only takes the slightest breeze. Look how DOWN and UP the LiBeRaL rollers coaster rolls. From bummer Biden lows to killer Kamala highs. Up and Down so easy to play.

Remind yourself it's they who fear the future. And a wave of populist voter turnout is the future that keeps them up at night.

Awesome interview from. RFK Jr. The democratic party used the media to humiliate and discredit RFK Jr. from the start, even his own family have publicly spoke against him after his endorsement of Trump, which is not right. Liberals will absolutely eat their own if you don't follow the script. Thank for posting Sasha.

RFK Jr. My 36 yr old cousin has some serious psychological issues regarding Trump and MAGA rather than the traditional money-sucking republican party. I asked him:

"Hope RFK Jr’s speech had a positive impression on you. He is 95% right[on the issues he spoke about]."

His response: "The conspiracy theorist trying to stay relevant who has been disavowed by his entire family for essentially being batshit crazy? lol good one."

What the Puck? I voted for Clinton in '96 because it was the right thing to do for many reasons. What is wrong with folks today?!

They have been brainwashed by years of a shit school system and the worst journalism/media in decades. These people are completely brainwashed and propagandized. It's right in front of you, we are witnessing it before our eyes. It's truly amazing talking to these people.

Ross Perot put Clinton in office. Clinton was a buffoon but Shrilary was pure evil. Interesting Clinton added drug testing to Medicaid, and Dubyah created the biggest government handout with Medicare prescriptions. Remind me again which one was conservative and which was liberal? UNAfuckingPARTY!

Thanks Sasha- terrific discussion. Kennedy’s unique definition of the importance of nature to man was beautiful & true. I’ve never heard anyone else put it like he did. I’m going to go through the transcript so I can read it.

Pretty profound section on environmentalism and God.

“God talks to human beings through many vectors……No where with the kind of detail and texture and grace and joy as through creation. And when we destroy nature we dismiss our capacity to sense the Divine to understand who God is and what our potential and duties are as human beings.”

When I was studying Buddhism, Thich Nhat Hahn would say “can you taste the sun in that fruit.” Feels like the same vibe.

GREAT INTERVIEW. 🙏

Too bad hes never going to get environmentalism from GOP unless it directly impacts their states.

True but the main GOP are not environmentalists so its betting odds they will never pass something that could impact them.

I’’ll try “Profound Profundity Through Purple Mountains Majesty” for $400 Alex

RFK Jr. [01:15:31] One is, it's forced them to do something that you should never do, if you're an environmentalist, which is to commoditize and quantify everything. So everything is measured by its carbon footprint, how many tons of carbon it produces.

And, you know, you're basically, you're, you're putting everything in that kind of box of of being able to quantify it and explain its value by, you know, by a numerically. And the reason that we protect the environment is just the opposite of that.

The reason that we protect the environment is because there's a spiritual connection.

There's a, you know, there's a love that we have we you know, I got into the environment because I wanted, you know, this connection to the fishes and the birds and the wildlife and, and the whales and, and the purple mountains, Majesty.

And that, you know, I understood that the way, you know, God talks to human beings. There are many factors through each other, through organized religion, through the great prophets or the wise people, the great books of those religion and nowhere with the kind of detail on texture and grace and joy as through creation. And when we destroy nature, we diminish our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is and duties are as human beings.

Tucker [01:17:48] And that I hope what you just said, by the way, is chopped up and put all over every social media platform in the world. When we destroy nature, we degrade our own ability to experience the divine.

I’ll take “Hope Sasha Hears This Stuff” for $500 Alex

(Meaning, you're in great company.)

Tucker [00:27:32] So knowing all this as you do and have for a long time, the, you know, the most radical step you can make if you're a Democrat is endorsing Donald Trump. So there are political calculations involved. There are ideological calculations, but they're also, of course, personal calculations. How you so, you know, once you do that, you've burned your boats like that's it. You're not going back to wherever you were ten years ago. How hard a decision was that for you personally?

RFK Jr. [00:27:57] It was a very it was an obvious decision for me. It should have been. But it was a very, very difficult decision. And we had you know, I have a very, very good team around me. And, I was most worried about my wife. What was I about, Sheryl? You know, well, you know, it was not comfortable, but. And she is a, you know, a lifelong Democrat, she comes from not the aristocracy. She comes from a very, you know, I would say poor family and in Florida. But she. She found her way through. Through idealism to the Democratic Party. And that And she shares a lot of those values. And her industry is very, very much, aligned with the Democratic Party, probably more than any industry in our country and more than any, town in our country…

…My followers said that if I withdrew from the election, they were going to vote for Trump, which is ironic, by the way, Tucker, because President Trump and the RNC did nothing to prevent me from being on the ballots. They didn't have a big major organization and Senate private and private eyes out. You know, I the Democratic Party was interviewing literally everybody I've ever met in 70 years. It dawned on me, I, I got a call…

Tucker [00:30:53] They've been doing that. I know for a fact for over a year, as you know.

Tucker [00:32:00] What could possibly the justification for that?

RFK Jr. [00:32:02] Well, they didn't want me running. And that's the thing is, it's not democratic. It wasn't. You know.

Tucker [00:32:09] That's such a mafia tactic.

RFK Jr. [00:32:10] Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, but the point is, it was weird. It was it was not smart because I was actually helping the Democrats. And if they just let me stay and they didn't run this campaign against me, they probably would win this election. And because I was hurting Trump, oddly, Trump didn't do anything about it. He's you know, he was kind of, he made a couple of statements about me that I was a communist, etc., that they were sort of good natured, you know, the stuff that you that you're like, okay, that's okay. They weren't like calling my old girlfriends, saying, you know. What? You know, what did he tell her? Or, you know, whatever what they were, ask him. Oh, but the DNC was up to that. And.

Tucker [00:33:05] And were you shocked by that?

RFK Jr. [00:33:09] Was I shocked? I don't know. I mean, I feel like I'm in a place now. Nothing surprises me. I bet you are. oh. But. I don't know. I mean, I, I anyway, so they're going to.

Tucker [00:33:37] Drop all that stuff now, obviously. Right.

RFK Jr. [00:33:40] What? You know, get rid of Liz Smith and put her on some other project. I don't know.

Tucker [00:33:46] I just you sort of wonder how will Smith live with her. I mean, that's so repulsive. Like, how does she justify that to herself? I have to. I mean, I matter, she's not stupid. But that is disgusting. No, I mean, you've lived a life famously, and if you have a team of researchers digging into it, and.

RFK Jr. [00:34:04] I have not led a careful life, by the way. I know. I said, you know, my first. I was mad during my announcement speech. I said, you know, I had told my wife and Charlotte a couple days before. I said, I have so many skeletons in my closet that if they could vote, I could run for the world. Oh, I know, I know, stuff is going to come out about maybe because I let let me put it a colorful life. Yeah. And, and, you know, people have all kinds of stories about me, but so I was I'm ready for, you know, I'm ready for I was I never done anything criminal in terms of, like, stealing money or self-enrichment. I did a lot of stupid stuff and a lot of.

Tucker [00:34:46] Have you gotten rich off pointless foreign wars?

RFK Jr. [00:34:48] No, I have not done that.

Tucker [00:34:50] Oh you haven't. Okay. You haven't force people to inject substances in their bodies.

RFK Jr. [00:34:55] Okay. I've never done that. But anyway, so it became clear to me that. If if Kamala got elected, the issues that I cared about, which is ending the foreign wars, you know, the the unjust wars in World war is the wars of choice, like Ukraine. Stopping the censorship, which I think is existential for our democracy and then protecting children from this extraordinary exploding chronic disease epidemic. Those are the three reasons that got me into the campaign. That's why I ran for president.

To me the most profound and important thing shared in this conversation started around 22 minutes. I have listened to it twice. And now I am going to do some research. This is the key.

Ms. Stone, have you seen the ad put out by the Kennedy Shanahan committee? Yeah, watch out. That'll get your waterworks flushed out.
