- Presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. answers a lightning round of questions on gun control, immigration, pardoning Julian Assange, and more.
Watch the full replay of Kennedy's interview with ReasonTV's Nick Gillespie and Zach Weissmueller: • RFK Jr.: The Reason In...
Poisoning people, plants and animals should be illegal.
❤criminal❤
That's a very broad statement though, technically many mostly harmless things could be considering poisoning peoples, plants or animals.
For example, if I take a boat with a gas powered motor onto a lake then I'm technically poisoning the fish, plants, insects, microbes, etc that inhabit the lake and surrounding area but to a mostly harmless extent.
There's obviously gotta be limits and simply making "poisoning the environment" illegal without allowing some leeway is completely nonsensical and would infringe on peoples rights, destroy the economy and completely upend our entire way of life forcing everyone to live primitive lifestyles in poverty with absolutely no modern luxuries. Which may be fine with a small radical minority but us normal people would never accept it. 😂
@ArthurB26 normal people are killing us all
Insects are animals, too. We should outlaw all farming and driving of vehicles because these practices kill billions of innocent insects every year. It is time to stand up for insect rights! And also the rights of all other small living beings (like bacteria) should also be protected.
@@ArthurB26 Ecologists and biologists can measure this harm. It is quite severe and unsustainable. We are eating the poison every day.
I'm impressed that he clearly knew who Ross Ulbricht is and about his case.
How many of the usual types of candidates could or would show any interest?
Zero
Started as an attorney so he’s prolly into that type of stuff
He said he would pardon Assange and Snowden.
RFK Jr is the best candidate in my lifetime and that's coming from a conservative.
Shows what you know. They asked Trump about Ulbricht and Trump immediately knew he'd be the best with Ulbricht, that he's been hearing - people are saying, Biden would be bad for Ulbricht. He was just talking to a friend - a really, really important guy by the way, and he was saying, "you know, this Ulbricht thing I mean," so yeah - Trump is the best with that. And so far as experience? And with this and that and the whole thing, I mean and the Democrats? So yeah. I think that makes the point pretty clear.
@@JackieDaytona1776 The last thing you did was make any kind of clear point. Ulbricht was sentence in 2015 which makes everything you said moot. Trump had his chance to pardon Assange, Snowden and Ulbricht and he called them them all criminals. Trump will do or say anything and he Trump lacks conviction.
Great questions.
Seems like pretty honest answers from RFK especially on Assange and Snowden. And he telegraphed Tulsi as part of his cabinet. She’d be a great choice for veep. Solid ticket.
she's a WEF stooge sport, just another controlled opposition fraud like RFK.
I don't want Tulsi as veep. I wasn't really super thrilled with her as president. But I would love having her as secretary of state.
@@Omnifarious0 more effective as Secretary of State. Agreed.
Tulsi is a big no she's anti second amendment and she just recently changed her stance on that for this campaign run because it backfired on her Big time when she tried to run last time and she by her admissions said that she was not a Christian she and her husband worship Dead cows or something like that whatever she is never getting my vote that is reserved for the one who deserves it and will fix and save the country and the only one who can get it done is Donald John Trump
Name one president in the modern era who can quote Magna Carta and cite it as part of our common law. Thank G_D for RFK
God
Obama and Biden and anyone with a 12th grade education.
@@liberateneurodivergents3417 that seems improbable
The magna carta of 1215 was weak and largely ignored. Serfdom in England didn't end until 1574!
Glad to hear he’d pardon Snowden! 👍
Pardon and then execute for treason?
I love most of what Robert Kennedy says. The only thing that keeps me from voting for him was his statement about the second amendment. It’s mind blowing that he says he doesn’t want to take away your guns, but if a bill was put in front of him that banned a gun, he would sign it. That’s a total contradiction. You don’t get to crap on the constitution just because there is a government consensus to ignore the constitution.
Don’t judge based on a brief sound bite. He basically said he wouldn’t veto if the Congress passed it.
Meaning he won’t do it unless the people actually want it because he doesn’t want to divide us more
@pa_2600 unfortunately he misstepped about Affirmatove Action yesterday. I really wish he could see that the policy while going out of its way to support blacks resulted in racist actions towards Asians and that it did not solve the issue.
It would be nice instead of supporting affirmative action to support impoverished applicants or something like that but still have a merit based system.
@pa_2600. Yes, but banning “assault” weapons is extremely severe.
@@dawnchristine. Right and it is a really big deal that he wouldn’t veto the banning of “assault” weapons.
RFK jr sounds far more like a Libertarian than a modern Dem. The response on 2A issues is not one who truly "gets" the importance of the 2A. He's obviously not anti gun at the level of modern Dems, but that was an answer that suggests he does not "get" the 2A.
I'm with you, but he does seem like someone who is thoughtful and would at least consider issues on a case by case basis and not a blanket party platform. I like a lot of what he says, but I can't say I would vote for him, at this point.
You're right that he doesn't get 2A, but he is 100% Democrat. He tweeted about supporting Affirmative Action, forcing congress to "legislate meaningful relief" to people with student loan debt, expanding government subsidies of higher ed tuition to make college "free for all." You can't be a libertarian when believing in expanding government power.
No he is an old school dem which I find quite refreshing.
exactly.... He's claiming on one hand that there are a lot of corrupt politicians in DC YET he would ban guns if Congress sent him the bill. No Robert.... You follow the Constitution. NOT a bunch of corrupt politicians....
4 of 6 replies are visible? WTH? Just imagine the worlds best retort that could actually change hearts and minds being ghosted...
He says he won’t ban guns yet says he’d sign a bill to ban guns. He’s not too bad for other things but that’s a no no.
Don’t believe in politicians. You have to be the ones to work to make things happen
*He is a Democrat. Lying is second nature to getting elected.*
@@gerardomartinez3920 I totally agree. Reality is that we have to vote for the ones who espouse our values the most.
he specifically was asked about automatic weapons. those are pretty only used to kill people arent they ?
the only ones who should care about that are people shooters...
he also said he didnt wanna take everyones guns. i think theres reason in those statements
@@thejaydeeclub5062 He literally did not and it’s evident that you don’t know much about firearms. I recommend that you don’t write any further comments regarding firearms before you read up on the subject because people will make fun of your ignorance pertaining to this topic. He asked about “assault weapons.” Which under the bills that are supported by many democrats includes basically all modern sporting rifles. Hate to break it to you but unfortunately automatic firearms have been banned since 1986. “He said he doesn’t want to take anyone’s guns.” Banning firearms basically equates to taking peoples guns. I’m not going to lecture you on guitars because I’m not knowledgeable in that area so I’d very much prefer if you sit this one out. Obviously you have a right to voice your opinions but I ask this of you as a favor.
‘Decriminalize marijuana and Federally tax it.’ Now THAT’S progress!
It's hypocritical, and a way to insure the black market never goes away.
too much tax = more black market
His family got rich selling black market booze during alcohol prohibition.
California messed up and over taxed and over regulated, now their problems are worse.
HE IN THE PAST SAID IT WAS
MISINFORMATION BY CIA TO Discredit his Grabdfather
And not true .
"I would definitely de criminalize psychedelics" hes got my vote
redcoat...
We can have a president that represents a party, or we can have a president that represents a nation. RFK
2A is inalienable, simple as that. Inalienable specifically means it isn't subject to the narrative of today and spans the test of time.
We have no idea what rights the citizens of this amazing country might need to exercise in the future. Wether it be 10 years from now, 100 years from now or 1000 years from now. It is simply not up to politicians, it's up to the citizenry.
Kennedy said: "I'm not going to take anyone's gun away. IF A MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS would bring the bill, I would sign it."
This was an elegant way to say: never. Because everyone knows that a majority of republicans will NEVER propose such a bill.
You know, he talks to Americans believing they are INTELLIGENT LISTENERS. Are you?
Exactly! If YOU choose to own whatever weapons you choose then that is all that should matter.
Well said
Guys - we have PRIMARIES. Would you rather it be Kennedy vs Trump (or Vivek or Desantis) instead of Biden or even worse that psychopath Newsom?
Trump vs Kennedy won’t happen because the Dems are only admitting puppets into their ranks.
I would take ANYONE over tronaldump. Newsom isn't a psychopath, he is someone who knows how to stand up to rightwing horse shit.
@@clembob8004newsom is an evil dictator in waiting, willing to follow and enforce any fashion to keep himself rich and powerful.
@@clembob8004 I would love to have him be the Democratic nominee. Of course, I tend to vote Republican. Newsom is Sarah Palin but with even a less coherent political philosophy, and has a record of failure as governor. He was shortsighted with the budget because of all the tech ipo capital gains which evaporated and now there is a budget shortfall he can't get out of. And 70% of the country thinks his handling of COVID was a disaster.
He is a candidate who seems plausible until the country sees him. He is Rick Perry but without any positive accomplishments. That's an even better comp than Palin.
@@clembob8004 I bet you don't live in California...😆
A consensus of 99% is still not enough to violate my 2A rights.
Individual liberties are not subject to majority rule. This is why the Founders created a constitutional Republic and not a simple democracy.
In a Republic the minorities rights are protected from the usurpations of the majority.
For this reason alone I would never vote for RFK Jr.
*Governments change. Human nature remains the same. Guns stop Tyrants*
bingo
Well said!
Our Rights are not given to us by Nation, but by God.
Our Freedom of Speech,
Gun Rights,
and Property Rights are merely recognized by our nation.
(Natural Rights)
Actually, a 2/3's vote of both houses and ratification by 3/4's of the states is enough to eliminate the free exercise of your 2A rights. You need to make peace with those numbers. If FDR had been held to those requirements we wouldn't have this stupid issue now because there would be no NFA.
He said, if both sides came to an agreement, then he'd sign an assault weapons ban... we all know both sides won't agree on that.
in fact, that's exactly what he meant: never going to happen! you know, being intelligent himself, he presumes that people are INTELLIGENT LISTENERS. ADULTS CAPABLE OF REASONING
"...we all know both sides won't agree on that." No. I don't know any such thing. I don't trust any of the Ds OR the Rs. He should NOT have said he'd sign.
You obviously haven’t been paying attention to how far the authoritarians have dragged the line. For example, his uncle would be considered a conservative if he were alive now and had the same positions as he did back then.
Exactly!
All it would take is a majority in congress for him to ban “assault” weapons, you people. Geez, the mental gymnastics you guys put your brains thru to justify authoritarianism is truly stunning.
I won't ban guns unless the machine wants me to. Lol
Assault weapons only,not regular guns. No one on here was listening.
@@earthspirit516 yeah that's what I heard too - what about hand held missile launchers? covered by 2a or not?
@@earthspirit516 "assault weapons" aka scary looking rifles
@@earthspirit516the problem with gun grabbing politicians is it will always start with something and lead to the next. Justin Trudeau is a perfect example of that. First it's the size of the gun, then it went to how fast the gun is allowed to shoot, then it went to how quiet the gun is allowed to be, then it went to how many rounds the gun is allowed to hold, then it went to what attachments you are allowed to put on a gun, now it is about what type of gun is allowed. Once an assault weapons ban is approved, it isn't very difficult to move on to the next step of regulating all semi automatic firearms, it's not difficult to move to the next step of what caliber is allowed to be used. Politicians have already began using the term "sniper rifles" for simple bolt action rifles. It's not hard for gun grabbing politicians to make up things that sound scary to push an agenda on those who don't know any better, and it's always in the name of "your safety". Politicians don't care about your safety, they care about theirs. The only person who can provide you safety is you. You are the first responder, never trust a politician talking about "ensuring your safety" it's almost always snake oil.
Only if both the dems and Republicans present a bill, that , would never happen
He’s way to smart for these guys
Yeah ok 😂
Good for you guys brining up Ross. He deserves justice
Its sad so little people have seen this! Great questions guys.
As much as I am dissapointed in RFK's 2A position, I recognize that he's playing for the Democratic party's nomination and it's unrealistic to expect a pro-2A candidate to emerge from that authoritarian party. I am willing to give RFK the benefit of the doubt and assume that he's just playing politics. I suspect he thinks that no "assault weapon" ban can succeed anyway, especially in light of some great constitutional rulings the Supreme Court has made in recent years.
I hope he wins the Democratic party's nomination. Things will look much better for this country if RFK can win the nomination and eliminate the possibility of Biden, Harris, or someone worse becoming president in 2024.
There is no perfect presidential candidate at this time so we must weigh our options, and given RFK's positions, I think he is one of the better candidates who we should hope to see in the general elections. The best time to pressure RFK to adopt a pro-2A position will be after he wins the nomination.
VOTE KENNEDY 2024🇺🇸
I thought his answer was reasonable. He said if a bipartisan majority passed a restriction, then he would sign it. I'm not disappointed in that answer at all.
yeah like honestly the democrat party is so far from their roots that if he wants to win he has to decide which values he can't compromise on (1A, Free speach, anti CIA and anti warmongering. environment, healthcare) and which he has to. Like he doesn't care too much abt the social issues but he has to adopt normal dem views to win nomination
All weapons are "assault weapons".
I believe that a truly bipartisan bill is signed by some percentage (to be determined) of one party over the other. It can't be that one vote more or less makes it bipartisan. Maybe it has to be an equal number of republicans and democrats to be really bipartisan. He will never get the democrat nomination. Never. He has to run as an independent. Everyone needs to at least have the opportunity to vote for him in the regular election. We need a centered president now more then ever.
❤ RFK
Prior to the existence of the EPA, wasn't there a time when anyone affected by pollution could sue the polluter, and that was how pollution was controlled?
Not well at all. Control maybe in very small areas, in few instances. Fortunately the EPA and other 3 letter agencies are on his hit list, so to speak. He knows them better than anyone.
I could see normal people being effected by pollution having a hard time proving it. In cases where the symptoms are minor or not obviously linked to a pollutant, it would require money, testing, and research to prove, then further money for legal fees. Not saying they couldn't sue, but I'm just wondering if it was challenging to do so.
Oh I hadn't thought of Tulsi for Sec of State. Interesting choice!
No, because there would never be a bipartisan bill for him to sign.
Yes, Tulsi...wonderful woman! Both of them clear-headed and mature.
TULSA FOR HIS VP

@@eemoogee160 Agreed. Glyphosate and others are in the groundwater, soil long after they've been applied. Horrific stuff.

@@eemoogee160You better not have dinner parties !
good questions thank you RFK 2024! Just donated!
Glyphosate or "roundup" isn't even exclusively produced by Monsanto any longer. It's been open to generics for quite a while now.
So game on? Ban that nasty shit!
At least Hillary Clinton could read the room and exclaim "hot sauce". This guy can't be bothered to tell libertarians he won't sign any new infringements on our 2a.
That's because he's at least being honest. A Clinton could never do that.
So he’s an honest politician. That’s refreshing
HE SHOULD HAVE LIED!!!!
I thought about this guy. His gun answer is a shame

you are being deliberately false or extremely stupid. Kennedy said: "I'm not going to take anyone's gun away. IF A MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS would bring the bill, I would sign it."
This was an elegant way to say: never. Because everyone knows that a majority of republicans will NEVER propose such a bill.
You know, he talks to Americans believing they are INTELLIGENT LISTENERS. Are you?
Why? You wanted him to say yes?
Not really. He said if it was voted on by both sides he would sign it. Likely it will have to be a change to the second amendment to even do that because of the way the supreme court reads it, and in order to do that it would require a 2/3rds vote and that will never happen in our lifetimes.
He never said he was entirely against guns. But when it comes to assault weapons It seems like he’s just staying in the middle ground. So unless republicans and democrats somehow unite against assault weapons which will most likely never happen, we won’t have to worry.
RFK not willing to uphold the second amendment under pressure means he's a no-go. Which is very unfortunate because there is so much to like about him outside of that issue, but make no mistake, that is a huge issue for me.
Me too. Very disappointed.

This is legendary👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
If you signed a bill then yes you would ban guns of one type or another.
All gun laws are unconstitutional
He's being honest tho. He's not for or pushing gun control, but IF there was consensus AND Democrats & Republicans passed an assault rifle ban specifically, he would sign it. He's not going to lobby for it tho, and he knows as well as you that's never going to happen 🤣🤔😉
The 2nd Amendment was a major mistake, numbnut. The person who put it in the Constitution also wanted to have a new constitution convention every 30 so that laws can change with the times. You sap.
He would have to clarify whether he meant the majority of the American people or a bunch of RINOs & progressives. Either way, we need to educate people about guns.
The chances of both parties reaching consensus and passing an assault weapons ban are ZERO. RFK Jr knows that. So should everyone else. He's not lobbying for it OR pushing for it. He believes in the 2nd amendment. It was actually a really clever answer if you think about it.
No one has any chance of winning the Democratic Party primary if they said otherwise, but he knows it will never happen. Wake up folks. He's an honest guy, but he's also a smart man. Are you single issue folks so blind you can't see the reality on the ground?
RFK Jr admitted on another talk show that if a broad reaching assault weapons ban reached his desk, he would sign it.
No minced words. No misinterpretations. End of story.
Ah, but what is an assault weapon?
That's all I needed to know to stick with Trump. Any politician that wants to remove citizens rights should be exposed for what they are.

you did not listen to what he said and are misrepresenting what he said. As bad as the corporate press.
@@chrisme5440 I heard him just fine and so did a lot of other people.
Thank you for getting him to admit that he’d sign a ban if the Uniparty agrees to it! He’s tried hard to scrub his past but he still has some Tweets about the NRA. And has a well known history of being for G control & bans.
He is aware of the role of a politician. It just implies he's a common sense guy & wants to do whats best for the majority, not forcing all of his beliefs
He isn't against gun control; however, fortunately he IS in favor, 100%, of our bill of rights and constitution. He's repeatedly said grabbing guns from people is not the answer and that he would NOT violate our 2A.
Yep. He tried to talk out of both sides of his mouth on that issue.
That’s not what he said. He said he would not take away anyone’s guns. He personally believes the the Supreme Court incorrectly interpreted the constitution, but he believes in the constitution so he must abide by the incredible expansion of the word “well regulated militia” to means any one with money in their hands.
No if by miracle the attitude would change on our country where certain people learned that it is 2023 and not 1823 and Congress was able to pass a law with the idea to become a safer community he would sign that law. Did you hear him speak a different language than English?
@@edwardmcgann3453 he literally answered to the question, " Would you ban, so called assault rifles?" Response, "I am not going to take anyone's guns, BUT if it were a consensus with Republicans and Democrats voted to do that, I would sign the bill." (3:02-3:20) Congress can not pass laws that infringe on individual constitutional rights, period! A president is also bound by that constitution, and must be a gatekeeper via veto. If the representatives feel their constituents don't want guns, they have to amend the constitution! We are a republic bound to a constitution. Not a democracy that blows with the wind.
RFK: “i will sign the assault weapons bill if majority agreed to” should’ve never said something like that huge red flag.
thanks for asking the actual HARD questions. Much appreciated.
If I was Trump I’d make RFK director of CIA.

RFK's in-depth understanding of the Magna Carta (Charter of the Forest) and what it meant for the survival of rural people impressed me!
I think i need to hear an extended answer on the 2A question. He said that's not part of his campaign right now, and the consensus is something he wants gun owners to come up with. So if there is legislation to have no gun laws he would sign it. And vice versa.

He stated his position as crystal clear as possible and that is that if the majority in Congress wanted to ban “assault“ weapons then he would sign the bill. Zero nuance.
He is willing to work with us...he is bright and wants to research and learn. He is way better than Biden. Our goal should be to get Biden (who wants to take our guns) out. Get Biden out in the PRIMARY... then easier to win in the general.
@@joeblow1942 what was his extended response?
No, what he said was if the right and the left agreed he would sign.
As a conservative libertarian, he would have my vote no question asked. He makes sense to me. He's constitutionally sound, middle of the road, and grounded. I am afraid of them silencing him like his family was.truly he speaks the truth. We need a person like him with his balance. This is a leader
😆 no "conservative Libertarian" would vote for a Democrat in 2024 no matter who it is as it's just another vote for more Leftist totalitarianism.
We HAD a constitutional republic, the treasonous act of 1871 and a pesky little bankruptcy in 1933 did that in. Now you have to get congress which is polarized and split to agree. He alo has brought up the mental health issue,big business issues big pharma. Let's ask one simple question Bumbling biden or Bobby Jr. There's a reason the elders got capped a plane flipped another hit a tree skiing. Think hard. We're not bringing up teddy he was a dumb azs
How, on earth, can a "conservative libertarian" vote for someone who just stated they would sign gun ban legislation, in defiance of the Constitution?
Yes, absolutely, he believes in tinkering with the country's constitution, also along he is, after all, a democratic; he believes in legalizing drugs to immigration which I'm totally against; they are enthroned in taxes, & regulations. He is a savior of his party, but his party has disrespected and ignored him. I am going to Vote For Donald J. Trump👍 in 2024,!!!!!
Why would you trust someone willing to “sign the bill” which infringes your Rights?

Lol absolutely the fuck not
@@donovanchilton5817 absolutely the fuck please!
When in Congress, Gabbard voted with Pelosi 90% of the time. When running for president, she agreed with 90% of the Democratic party platform. Being pro-military and spewing pseudo-conservative talking points on conservative sites/shows doesn't change that. Until and unless she renounces her past views/policy positions(and she's been given numerous opportunities on the same conservative sites/shows, and hasn't, other than spewing Bill Clintonesque evasions), no, hell no, and oh hell no to Gabbard
She wouldn’t have anything to do with policy. It’s mostly external affairs. She’s anti foreign entanglements. That’s exactly who you want for that job.
@@AlphaChimpEnergy Exactly right. Just because there are disagreements with particular issues regarding a candidate does not immediately disqualify and individual from being a capable force for good. You said it correctly, the job that has been ascribed to her (Sec State) would be a perfect fit. Our (Tulsi and I) differences have far less OR zero impact on the job at hand. Foreign affairs or something along those lines would be great options. She really is an incredible candidate for many jobs and for many reasons.
I support RFK Jr. for president 🇺🇸
I want to hear him address the Espionage Act and Chicken Tax.
So dissapointed with reason in this vid. I am beyond a big L libertarian and the way they defended the vaccine was a joke
Its sad to see rfk cucking for gun control and reason is cucking for the clot shot.
Everyone wants to vote so they themselves don’t have to anything to make their community better
Newsflash! Voting in good public servants is part of making our communities better
Newsflash! People actually do shet before they they go into voting muh PrEsiouS PaRtY because that’s all they do and nothing else. People talk big game online but those who virtue on topics never really show up to fix it themselves on their own community.
Anyone that decries his answer on principle should not be willining to vote for Trump neither since under his administration bump stocks were banned which is a violation of the 2nd ammendment.
Am so dissapointed...I was ready to give him my vote because we share so many views on big pharma, the war machine and support legal immigration.
Not supporting the 2nd Ammendment is the first step into tyrrany
He also flipped out on the supreme court striking down affirmative action in college admissions. He's only good on pharma.

Observing from Europe, it seems many Americans are absolutely ... dumb. I hope I'm wrong and intelligent Americans will vote Kennedy in to the White House 🍀
Focus on the greater good here. You think Biden is going to do any of that stuff?
Also keep in mind, RFK is trying to win the democratic nomination here. What's the point of appealing to Conservatives who hold no vote? Until he's the party Nominee he has to garner democratic votes to oust Biden. Let him do his thing. Don't write him off, he's not taking away your guns.
@@Lord_Thistlewick_Flanders Well he is a gust of fresh air in the pit of corruption...am a republican and his integrity gets my respect.
Biden and his administration is the personifications of corruption so thats not even on the map.
We need politicians that stand by the constitution and work for the well of the people...i know its a oxymoron
I think everyone is misunderstanding his answer to guns. He’s essentially saying he won’t take people who currently own the assault weapons guns away (mainly cuz there’s no way he or any law enforcement can), but if there was an act Congress is passing to ban them and not allow anyone else in the future to buy those weapons, he’d sign it.
I support RFK Jr. and I like what he has to say about the 2nd amendment besides for his view on if a majority of Republicans and Democrats in congress came up with a bill to ban so called assault weapons that he would sign it. I wish he would change his view to not sign such a bill if it came in the future. As long as we have the 2nd amendment or an unrestricted 2A(which it's not), the 2nd amendment is like a safety net from the government becoming too tyrannical. The 2nd amendment allowing for people to have the same weapons of war that the military uses is a deterrent from members of the government to exert force over the people to make them do what the government wants, opposed to being free to do what one wants. The 2nd amendment is the most important check and balance riddled throughout all The People in our country.
Nobody gets a pass on flatly stating they will sign anti-2A legislation so long as it's supported by a consensus of D.C. politicians.
Light round so they can short it on RUclips and make him look silly
He just said he would not take your guns.
Swing-and-a-miss on gun rights. I'm sticking with Dr. Shiva
I love Dr. Shiva! Is he running??? Talk about the smartest guy in America...Dr. Shiva is that man!
Cant trust anyone that doesnt belive the right to bear arms is absolute.
He's got it backwards.
The King didn't privatise anything. He was the "Sovereign", as such he made everything government property. That's why commoners couldn't hunt or fish!
Wtf is with the thumbnail showing him an extra 30 years older and he has already publicly said he will never ban guns and he will legalise a lot of ‘drugs’
RFK -we are only seeing the TIP OF THE ICEBERG ! About his true policys !
I've enjoyed so much about RFK but for his position on guns. Its a real shame honestly. I can't move on that
A president of character is on our way.RFK
.. if there was a consensus then he would sign legislation banning whatever guns were "consensus" i.e. F- the constitution. Period.
It doesn’t matter if he , or trump or whoever gets in this country is done ,unless we turn back to God , a house divided cannot stand , one man is not gonna change anything, this country is reaping what it has sown , I fear we are about to smack into a wall , It’s astonishing that people think that things are just gonna be fine as they have been the last 150 years , I wish I had that kind of ignorance
Perfect Candidate
You said someone we want to hear from, Robert Kennedy Jr
Just lost my vote, I control my guns not the government ✊✊✌️✌️✌️✌️
Same, could never vote for that.
That’s not what he said.
He took the safe choice publicly & provided a neutral answer.
@@TouqasBonquishes
He gave the safe neutral answer, he knows that it would never happen.
@@NashiHeartSoulSpirit nope, if the answer is not nope I wouldn’t sign it, you’d never get my vote, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.
No biggie, if that's how you interpreted his response he never had your vote in the first place so no real loss.. you can't please everyone! 💗
I wish he would make it so that corp owners could be held accountable for the decisions they make for their corp
"If there was a consensus between republicans and democrats (about banning sem-automatic rifles)"
Hard no.
That's all I needed to hear
3:03 i wont take anyones guns unless the house and senate come together as majority to do so then i will take your guns lol
To tell you how much he literally doesn't know about the subject, Monsanto hasn't existed for years now.😂
He definitely needs to clarify his words on his views on the 2 amendment. Many people seem to believe he is against the 2A. However I didnt gather that at all. He is after the roots of the problem. He knows the guns are not the problem. Its a mental health problem. He talks about this in other videos. I forget where but please do more research before saying he is anti gun. He is really not.
Exactly!
In all fairness to REASON, the interviewers asked excellent questions here and handled themselves well - not trying to over-talk and keeping it respectful. I just don't like Reason on any issues which it labels as "conspiracy theory." People who use "conspiracy theorists" as a criticism are merely serving as useful idiots to those who rule this society.
Dude is jacked too I think he needs to abolish all bureaus, and abolish atf and repeal the NFA, and legalize steroids and SARMs for body building
Doesn't matter anyway. The club is not going to let him ANYWHERE NEAR the presidency.
I thought I might vote for him until I saw the episode on him wanting to jail ‘climate deniers’. The 2A infringement thing is a hard no go. I was a Vivek guy, and guess I’m a Trump guy now. You can’t infringe the Bill of Rights by ‘consensus’.
This is my man, will do all I can to keep the DNC from trashing this brilliant and knowledgeKable person from representing me as President of USA. #KENNEDY24
Being politically in the middle is the worst position to be in!!! He is doing these interviews which are essentially an interrogation of his political beliefs. Both sides are suspicious, but I think both see him as better than the alternative (Biden or Trump). Is he a compromise??? I don’t know yet…
He lost me on the gun issue.
Kennedy said: "I'm not going to take anyone's gun away. IF A MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS would bring the bill, I would sign it."
This was an elegant way to say: never. Because everyone knows that a majority of republicans will NEVER propose such a bill.
You know, he talks to Americans believing they are INTELLIGENT LISTENERS. Are you?
get Biden out in primary...Biden is worse on gun issue.
RFK will sign the bill banning 2A. Enough said
I have been following his campaign a few days, and I like him because even though I don't share his opinion on some issues, he can make a nuanced argument and appears to have considered his stances based on personal conviction and life experience, as opposed to the normal canned rhetoric. If my dad and my uncle had both been shot to death, I might be a little flaccid on 2a myself. Maybe I'm reaching, but I bet he might concede that any weapon they want to ban should be banned outright--like the state can't have it either. Most of his positions have a running theme, trying to the best of our ability to prevent unnecessary death and misery. That is a position with which I'm able to empathize, knowing full well that the road to hell is paved yadda yadda. I'll probably vote for him on his foreign policy alone, because since there will likely not be a Galt-Friedman ticket next year, he is currently my next best choice. Respect to all other opinions here. You guys are rad. 🤘
And by "nuanced argument" you mean parsed lie, straddling the issue so as not to alienate anybody. Typical political phukery.
Yeah, I can respect his nuance as well.
But I think you are a little delusional if you think any "assault weapons" ban would apply to the military when the military literally has access to automatic weapons, which are more like the reality of what "assault weapons" connotes.
The gov't is not going to ban scary looking rifles for themselves when they allow themselves actually scary rifles and other such toys, full stop.
@@nathanparker8555 of course you are correct
@@aewtech Of course, only the coercive state will have 'scary fully semi-automatic as well as fully, fully automatic weapons. And once they start banning guns, it-won't-stop------".
What's with these bots in the comments? He literally said he won't take away anyone's guns. He's saying that if all the democrats and republicans were unaninmous in banning them he wouldn't stand in the way.
This was an elegant way to say: never. Because everyone knows that a majority of republicans will NEVER propose such a bill.
You know, he talks to Americans believing they are INTELLIGENT LISTENERS.
@@mariekuijkenhistoricallyaw2598 Exactly! I'm convinced that big donors are using AI bots to spread comments.
@@mariekuijkenhistoricallyaw2598 As a Canadian I believe that he might be mistaken
I wish he would ban RoundUp. It is so dangerous, you should at least need to be trained in how to use it without poisoning neighbors and consumers.
It's used so much in modern farming that would have a real effect on food prices. It's a crucial part of no-till farming, so the use of diesel and gas would go up.
That might be better, but choices must be made based upon reality.

STUFF IS BAD NEWS.
SO MUCH
ILLNESS AND SO MANY DEATHS .

I like rfk a lot. He’s is crazy for saying he would sign a bill to ban assault weapons if both sides agree. He’s been at the center of government corruption his entire life. You would think he personally would see the importance of the 2nd amendment
Love his take on privatization, cant believe some wpuld even advocated total privatization
This guy 100% NEEDS to be allowed to debate!!! I’m a libertarian and I will register a dem just to vote for him.
If you're a libertarian, why would you vote for a gun-control candidate?
@@johndoe-ln4oi no candidate has ever been 100% aligned with my beliefs. He also said that he isn’t going after guns. All he said is that if congress came together and made a bill reforming guns or assault weapons that he would pass it… I’m sure he’s not “coming for your guns.” 🙄
@@AD-cy7wx You said it yourself. Kennedy said that he would sign gun ban legislation. It doesn't get any more axiomatic than that. And your final sentence gives you away; you're not a libertarian. Libertarians don't repeat vapid Leftist catch-phrases.
@@johndoe-ln4oi there is no ideology that is 100% correct. Humans are irrational and illogical creatures. We’ve gone so so far from libertarianism that there would be massive issue if tomorrow we just stopped all social programs and protections.
Sorry I’m not an extremist. 🙄
I am intelligent enough to understand that people are overly medicated, filled with poisonous chemicals, brainwashed into government dependency, and lacking family and community support of centuries past.
The real world is MUCH more complicated than a single issue such as guns.
I live my life by libertarian guidelines. I also have zero issues with restricting access to guns for people with mental illnesses and criminal backgrounds. 🤷♂️
Kennedy > Trump, Biden, or Desantis
My rights aren't up for debate, let alone a vote.
As for common areas that are supposed to be for the benefit of everyone, that same tragedy of the commons means that for things held "in common", there is no benefit for anyone!
you are being deliberately false or extremely stupid. Kennedy said: "I'm not going to take anyone's gun away. IF A MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS would bring the bill, I would sign it."
This was an elegant way to say: never. Because everyone knows that a majority of republicans will NEVER propose such a bill.
You know, he talks to Americans believing they are INTELLIGENT LISTENERS. Are you?
Why don't we have the right not to be poisoned?
@@eemoogee160 I mean, you do. You have the right to not have others poison you. You don't have the right for things you don't own to not be poisoned. Dumb and evil people may poison things that are held "in common" (are unowned). Look to how unowned things are treated in socialistic countries for examples. Search "soviet environmental disasters" for how that works out.
Now, in a free market, you own things, and you have the right to not have others poison those things. You have the right to purchase items or rights to use things that are owned by other people.
If enough people agree your rights don't, matter then I agree?
His position on immigration is a deal breaker.
It is a shame that RFK has this speech problem, the presidency is such a speaking job that this could keep a good candidate out of the mix.
He won't uphold the 2nd amendment? Traitor
You could say the same about Trump.
He already wants to imprison climate deniers.
@@mongke7858You would be wrong.
What President would veto such a bill that had massive bi-partisan support?
@@daveprice790 A president that was NOT a traitor would veto such a bill.
On the issue of 2A and guns: for those that said that RFK Jr. lost your vote due to his comments here, DT said during his term (not his campaign) that he would take guns away from some before due process of court hearing. The ‘some’ is not defined in the vid. If RFK Jr’s stance was your sticking point for vote determination, given DT’s previous proposal as potus during a bipartisan meeting, who has your vote? Link ruclips.net/video/yxgybgEKHHI/видео.htmlsi=wjENIRfXcE8iQRdk Honest question, I’m curious.
Was really thinking hard about voting for him, but I can't do it. If all it takes for gun control is majority decision imagine what else he would sign
Okay the only issue I see is he would ban certain guns if they voted? You can't or shouldn't violate your oath no matter who votes for it. So guns is my only issue. I believe everyone should be able to reasonably be able to defend themselves if they are not a feeling that used a weapon in a crime
Overall, good answers.
I'm curious where are all these disagreements with Trump's policies.
I think they are actually in agreement.
Better to ask 'Where do you really differ with Trump?"
RFK isn't a sociopathic fascist, a domestic terrorist leader, and an indicted criminal and a lying POS. Other than that, they are identical. Paint RFK Jr. orange and he's trump 2.0.
The biggest difference I see is how they view big Pharma. Trump gave billions to big Pharma during operation Warp Speed, enacted PREP in March of 2020 giving immunity to big Pharma through 2024, and signed the CARES act. Trump even called the jab "safe and effective" in December 2021. He got Covid completely wrong which is something I highly doubt RFK Jr. would have done.
I LOVE that man! ❤
Lost me on 2A. Period, and i dont even like guns. Sad cause I really considered. Really, really
