There is much that RFK says that it is, at best, eyebrow raising. That being said, that he was the only candidate to lay out serious rhetoric and policy gestures on food safety, pharmaceutical testing, and improved agriculture. The Dem shift, post 2020, towards "food additives are fine, medical testing is already good enough, pharmaceutical companies are our friends, regenerative/low carbon agriculture is BS and you're a dummie for looking into it" is a massive disaster for young male voters. This election cycle was the first I heard young male voters seriously discussing ag policy, pharma policy, etc. and for the first time almost in my whole life I heard young male voters talking about the distorting effects of subsidies on how agriculture is formed, food distributed, etc. The vast majority of that was young men looking into Kennedy and not dismissing him outright. The Dems have totally failed on "health" as a platform plank.
On tariffs, isn't it a bit unfair that low skilled American workers have to compete globally on wages, and I have to compete locally with other higher paid Americans on purchases.
Regarding tariffs, did the Covid pandemic change the benefit/cost equation? For example, how would lockdowns affect Heaton's example of Scotland/French trade and tariffs? Maybe the situation would be better if both sides were more independent so Scotland had more wineries and France had more sheeperies; or maybe this is just an argument to heavily weigh the cost of lockdowns and avoid them as much as possible? One of the worst aspects of Covid policy was failing to factor in the full cost of the proposed policies.
34:56 Jen may not be aware that Congress voted to move the US embassy to Jerusalem in the 1990s. Joe Biden voted for it as a Senator. Presidents had been shirking the responsibility to carry out the law until Trump.
Thank you for improving the audio sir.
1:22:50 It's hilarious to watch Jen process the idea that not every Republican wants to poison our drinking water.

oh I listened to this whole show with the broken audio lol

1:49:31 Now I have a hankering for deep-fried claret. It'll go great with lamb chops.
the poetry/prose line and the "trump sees everything like a high rise in Manhattan" are premium ideas.
48:45 but how will you cover elections Jury? 😅
I'm sad I missed the live election night show
Yankee doodle Panther's French accent was crap.... Come visit us soon Andrew

1:11:47 A new Heaton malapropism: Wehrmacht Republic. BTW, the Weimar Republic preceded the Nazi regime in Germany.
I am definitively more worried about the Senate/Legislation, the Senate could pull the nuclear option and essentially get rid of the filibuster
I actually doubt they can get the votes. Too many old republican senators are against it. But I could be wrong. It is a fair worry

RFK jr, don't touch my red 40 and don't touch my fruit loops
give me frootie loops or give me death
1:06:49 I'm so glad Jen's here to tell us what is and isn't "real food."
