TE FELICITÓ KENNEDY TEN FE🙏🙏🙏🌟🙏🌟🌕🌘🌕🌘
Thanks so much for hosting RFK on the podcast. It’s a bold move to give ‘outliers’ a voice. I remember with stark clarity watching the commercial that RFK refers to showing the American Indian with a tear rolling down his cheek after witnessing the trash being tossed from a car window. It had me become a life-long trash picker-upper. I’ve even recruited my husband ; ) I will join your maximalist podcast in order to hear more from this interview with RFK. Reviewing comments on this episode is disappointing in that people are essentially ignoring all of RFK’s discussion essentially because of one opinion they do not agree with. I guarantee that there are plenty of things you do not agree with in every single human you encounter. Listening to all sides of an issue is what expands our understanding. I used to have my son argue the opposing side of an issue he felt passionate about. It caused him to go deeper, increase his knowledge and understanding. A side benefit was that he allowed people their opinions without the need to make them wrong.
what is a " outlier "
@@irene9263someone who doesn’t follow the masses…a bit outside of the pack-an independent thinker who’s curiosity has them looking further than most. All my definitions ; )
Thank you for bringing RFK Jr. on the podcast. It was fascinating to hear his take on these issues. 👍🙂
Love this guy..an amazing man...ill vote him in as president...i wish...
You might just get your chance now lol
Let’s win in a historic landslide
Awesome podcast! I wish Robert became president of the US or prime minister of Australia (where I am). It's nice to hear how Minimalism plays a role in Environmentalism. It'd be cool to see more integrated topics like this in your podcasts with interesting guests like Robert.

So much respect for this man!
RFK we hear you! Thank you for all that you do. You inspire me to be a better, stronger human.
endocrine disruptors need a whole episode. I insist on addressing the topic. They have a lot to do with consumerism. The effects are shown in subsequent generation. Your mother is poisoned by a chemical plant pollution as a child, but it is you who will have a higher percent of risk of dying from a cancer, who will be suffer from infertility and other reproductive diseases. From cosmetics and hygiene products to home furnishing textiles, clothing items to food and beverages containers, medical supplies to industrial chemicals... They're identifed since 1920's. We know what they do since then. They're molecules that have a very similar appareance to hormones and our body mistakes them. For instance, the estrogenous disruptors are mistaken by our body, even as fetus, and you develop cancer of testicules in little boys or infertility or genitalia malformation, and reproductive system cancer in women. Please, choose any scientist who study and publish about endocrine disruption and bring them to your podcast.
For expert guests may I strongly suggest Dr. Jeanne Conry or Dr Linda Giudice of UCSF and FIGO as well as Dr. Tracy Woodruf of UCSF. They have done substantial work with Endocrine disrupting chemicals.
❤especially.

In food / environment. Etc.❤❤🎉
Thank you so much for your bravery in making this recording. With your guest being censored all over the place I so appreciate that you can recognize that he has valuable knowledge to contribute, and be willing to share it.
So glad to see him on here! 🙌
I love RFK Jr. He is a wonderful and kind man.
I would love Bobby to talk about how harmful things like dryer sheets, being hormone disrupters especially to children wearing and sleeping with items with these insidious toxic chemicals on them. I don 't understand why more people are no privy to the toxicity of cancer causing chemicals and why are they allowed to be used by corporations. Someone needs to do an expose'.
I almost feel like Bobby is too smart and principled to exist at this time in history. He must often feel lonely and out of place.
@@katieskorner8164 what are you suggesting?
Hear, hear.
Wow he met Rachel Carson! Amazing. My daughter is in a children's book by MJ Mouton about her. We actually named our school guinea pig Rachel after her. She was amazing!
This man has got to become the new President of the United States! Just brilliant. Rooting for him from Europe (Italy)! 🙌🏻🇺🇸
❤❤❤❤

The statistics on the chronic illness is astonishing 😳😳😳😳. I have a 6 year old daughter and she is lactose intolerant, when I was a kid I had only one friend that had allergies, now they are everywhere 😔. I sometimes loose hope for humanity, it feels like we have damaged nature to much for it to be able to recover 😭
❤HOPE WE CAN REVERSE A LOT OF THE HARM DONE TO ENVIRON-MENT, PLANTS AND ALL ANIMALS. INSCETS/&
Humans❤
I have been a min. All my 75 years, i am glad it is fashionable now. I was downgraded for my life style
Yeah! This is real talk! Cheers to doing good and fighting the good fight!
New fan here ❤ 0:31
I loved you guys before but even more now that you had RFK Jr on your show. I'm going to have to watch the Maximal on this one. Thank you deeply for hosting this incredible and brilliant man.
Thank you for detailing the actual story of your dad's association with Joseph McCarthy. I was confused till now. Thank you for running for President! RFK Jr 2024
I love this! Environmental knowledge and the minimalist living are two peas in a pod.
Oh damn, y'all got Robert on the show?! I'd love to hear him discuss his over opinions too. 😏
MIND BLOWN 🤯
Great listening
Thanks you, so cool thematic .Nice podcast :P
Love Your SIMPLETON✔️🦅
Love Robert F Kennedy! I'm so glad you guys got him on. Such a wise guy, full of wisdom and knowledge.
Thank you guys 🙏🏼
Why is he not talking about the REITS
Thanks for this podcast. I thought it was very interesting..especially in the area of incentives rather than more nanny-state...
Really informative, thank you!
incentivised not to produce packaging ...
Thanks for this ❤️
I didn't know about the controversy that surrounded him until now (in my mind all the Kennedy's are one person so I'm sorry RFK that I really don't know who you are outside your family name), but I think he provided a thoughtful conversation that didn't actually seem crazy (unlike what his critics seem to think). The idea that people do not think about the long term consequences of new products baffles me. Every little thing we make comes at a cost, what that cost is may be unknown to us but it is still there. As someone who lead a relatively healthy childhood in the 80s and 90s and developed chronic health problems in my late 20s, I have to question WHY did they occur. And why do the doctors only want to prescribe pills to "fix" my problems (fix really only being a bandaid). I would love to see more guests on the show that promote self care and healthy living.
@11:03 that’s smart we should do that!
💚💚💚
Great job guys! And Thank you for having ONE of my hero's on. All but completely sacrificed his life to try to stop on the toxin's taking it's toll on human life and earth. Thank you Mr. Kennedy.
Great podcast episode 👍🏼
29:30 😢
awesome RFK Jr is my hero!!! I wish there were many more people like him.
I love him and respect
Surconsommation, gaspillage, trop d'enfants dans les pays pauvres...trop de tout

Love to listen to RFK Jr. I hate to be mean but I wish the hosts would've just been quiet & let him speak.
RFK Jr is able to talk for 24 hours with all the data he has researched and memorized. It’s ridiculous
Biggest problem. Is poverty and snobbery
I love Bobby 😍😍😍😍
Yes we are destroying our own children, our own species - WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS!!!??
Most people are sleepwalking in a zombie-like state - dissociated from their true emotions and true awareness as a result of a traumatic upbringing.
Why dont the people in power listen and act accordingly to this wise man ?
Because they are character-disordered due to having been raised by dysfunctional parents.
👍
Here is the deal. An electric weedeater is not strong enough to edge my property line. I have the luxury of having the low lying area in the neighborhood so I get alot of water and alot of water grass. A gas powered eater, and a Gass powered mower for that matter, are strong enough. I tried the electric and it can't cut it. So I will take the punishment for everyone I guess. Jesus being crushed for the poor thinking of others, as always. Punish the companies and they let it roll down hill to me.
Now, if I don't handle that grass, I am going to cause pests to come in and all the animals that eat the pests. That will hurt everyone. Hmmm...
RFK 2024!!!
He’s our last chance. I will back this guy up with all my energy.
Minimalism is great... until millions of people are losing their jobs because everybody stops buying their products.
You sound like a lion I like it
RFKJr2024! 😇🍀😎
🌟RFK Jr.🌟
2024!

I think people should limit number of children that they have to let the planet heal.
But what if the surviving population is environmentally numb and blind and just as genetically selfish?
So we are just going to ignore the fact of toxification from previous generations and how they continue to pollute ?
Not only that we can teach our children how not to pollute . The problem isn't the children its the: consumerism, throw away culture instead of make do and mend . In Victorian England it was pretty packed and dirty but everything was reused. There was a guy who would take away the rags to be reused, there was a metal scraper, a food scrapper that fed the chickens and pigs. Sustainable farming it the answer over factory farming.
LOL - I think Gates and big pharma are working on that as we speak!
@@donnasandy maybe, but that is so not right to do it they way they are. Just be honest with the people and let them know what is going on and usually they will come together and do the right thing
@@donnasandy You are so right!!! Culling of the nations.
Biostitues 😬 yikes.
BOBBY K.
ALL THE WAY TO
POTUS.❤
This is exactly the subject I’m interested in, but I was dismayed to learn that Kennedy is anti-vax and a conspiracy theorist. I realize he has significant experience with environmental issues but it’s difficult to hear him out when he has such ridiculous anti-science views.
@@patrickdoherty6211
Are there things/ topics broadcasted by mainstream media who are true?
Are there any ("facts" covered/ spout out by mass media) you see/ judge/ consider to be true?
With kind regards ^^
He's not anti-vax , he is for safe vaccines , unfortunately they have pulled alot of his work and lectures on the subject over the last year, please don't judge until you hear him speak on the subject.
Not a well-informed comment
Is that why Parma is taking vacs off the market and why doctors are saying RFK is for safe vaccines not anti vaccine! I got and shots against covid 19 but I want it safe--just like RFK did! Are we crazy no! We are just careful because we know big Parma is more interested in profits NOT our health!
I'm a science-studies PhD. In my judgment, RFKJ is very far from being anti-science, and his views deserve more serious consideration than they're getting. The top question people should be asking is whether he's right to say that industry capture is widespread. If it is, then everything else he says is more plausible for just that reason.
