Meanwhile, Bobby is hyper focused on having a country where people aren’t in a position to want to have an abortion to begin with

[cculham]

Isnt this how we want our elected officials to act. Changing opinions when you learn is how we grow.
The fact that he gets"blow back" with each opinion means we are farther apart than we think. He is listening to the people, appreciate that.

[starryvonne]

I am prolife and love Bobby for helping keep our water, food, soil clean and safe for our babies. Thank you Bobby for going after BIG government, FDA, CDC, NIH, big pharma, and CIA.

This entire interview she questioned him solely on the same old 4 issues that keep the red vs blue, divide and conquer game in tact. While the nation is being obliterated in 101 other ways. I'm a supporter of RFK Jr. In quick, random order, here's some of my reasons for supporting RFK Jr...
-genuinely wants to heal the 'culture war' divide in our country, and he has the ability to, being liked by many different 'types' of people from across the spectrum of issues and ideas, who are tired of the 2-party duopoly
-calm, humble, has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself (not a DNC/RNC puppet)
-not phony
-incorruptible, cannot be bought or bullied
-thoughtful and introspective
-deeply considers problems and possible solutions
-vocal about the corruption of 'Citizens United' and the power of the big private money controlling government
-vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (pharma, banks, oil, military industrial complex)
-wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and to pull back on and expose the corruption within the military industrial complex
-wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine problem via negotiations
-vocal about the dishonesty and agendas of commercial media
-wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television (this has major influence on the 'news' narratives)
-wants to keep the pharmaceutical industry honest with safety testing, transparency, etc
-wants to get rid of government assist crony capitalism and subsidies for big ag, oil, etc
-advocate for civil liberties
-vocally against censorship (will free Snowden and Assange on 'day 1')
-against mandates and police state-like policies
-classical liberal sensibilities with respect of others (without the 'woke' or fake identity politics)
-vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping
-would put the federal budget on blockchain to be fully transparent for all citizens
-passionate about environmental and ecological concerns
-passionate about investing in regenerative farming practice
-passionate about cleaning our food supply and exposing the unhealthy ingredients in processed 'foods'
-wants to bring preventative health more into public discourse; nutrition, exercise, etc
-will immediately close the border (this is not some republican scare issue, it is a very major issue – for many reasons)
-will send the necessary Asylum Judges to the border to expedite the process for legal migrants
-has an excellent plan to make homes affordable for all, including a program that backs mortgages at 3% and a tax structure to keep Black Rock from continuing to buy everyone out (this also will bring rent costs down dramatically)
-due to his family/background, he's well-learned from the inside of the various power structures
-due to his decades as an attorney successfully taking on major corporations, as well as government regulatory corruption, he is exceptionally well-suited for taking on the myriad of corporate capture over our government

*I wrote the list above many months before Oct 7, 2023. I should add, especially directed towards my brothers and sisters of the populist 'left' and populist 'right', 'progressives', 'libertarians', and people who are just antiwar, in general...
-RFK Jr. is in support of Israel (as am I). However, this in *no* way means he isn't also in support of helping the innocent people within Gaza. RFK Jr. has always been very aware of the conditions for the people within Gaza, and is especially aware of, and feels deep heartache for, the Hell they are living in now. As President, he is a person who would do all he could to help seek lasting peace and prosperity for all in the region
-although RFK Jr. is a supporter of Israel, he is not a fan of Netanyahu, and has said repeatedly that he would *not* be writing him a blank check with American dollars to do with as he wishes
-there is no one who would fight harder or more tirelessly to reach out to everyone involved, as well as to leaders outside of the region, to try to negotiate and implement a sustainable peaceful solution for both the Israelis and the Palestinians. RFK Jr. would bring many ideas and a commitment to approaching the problem there from several different angles, and involving several other players. In fact, he would have been doing this before Oct. 7. (Simply yelling 'apartheid', 'genocide', etc is *not* in service of an actual *solution* – ask Hamas)
-and unlike anyone from the 2 major parties who supports Israel, RFK Jr. would never be lead by the corrupt (and disgusting) sheer financial interests of the Military Industrial Complex when it comes to *any* of America's foreign policy; including with Israel

[IndyCat]

He’s trying to clarify, and I think it makes sense - the state only has a right to protect the child at viability.

[CoalitionNewerVision]

KENNEDY 2024 🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️ he’s the only candidate who has integrity, brains, and balls! And the record to prove it !!! 🫡🗽💯

[timothyedwards]

Whether you agree or disagree with RFK JR policies im just pleased your given him a voice to state his policy positions and what he will do as president if elected.

Unlike someone in office who won't allow him on the presidential debates

[veman]

The reason I understand Kennedy flipping on this is because I have myself, a few times. It's a complicated issue. No one wants to see a baby or "fetus" harmed. We also don't want the woman harmed. We also need to think about issues of insest and sexual violence. And woman who don't want to come forward. I've seen comments by women who were forced to carry dead babies to term in pro life states. Complicated. I do know one thing for certain, if males carried the baby, this would have always and I mean always been left up to the men.

[franceshensley]

It’s good to hear him say that he can evolve and change his thinking. How much better off we would all be if we could hear facts, research, and other’s opinion before we decide what is right and best for ourselves and the others. My appreciation for this man grows.

[kataclysmic]

As a woman, as a veteran, as an aunt, Sister, and care taker… I hate that people are so Blck and white about such a complex topic of abortion when RFK is focussing on the ROOT of preventing abortion… lifting up the economy and lifting up the prosperity of women and Americans so that they DO T HAVE TO MAKE THE HEART wrenching decision and go through the experience of having to abort due to hardship. I support RFK 100%

[hdp]

I have listened to a few interviews where RFK. He talks about wanting to help expecting mothers more. He talks about actually wanting to help the child have a life to live. All a lot of other people want to do is talk about abortions are bad. But they don’t want to help that new born baby. Bobby and especially Nicole want to help them!!!!

[joanhoffmann]

Megyn, I appreciate you having RFK Jr on your show. But this obsession with abortion needs to stop. You’re jus getting Democrats elected.

[mrmedic]

YES! The same honest man I've listened to for over 20+ hrs of interviews. I like his stance on this. The same as Trump! I was going to vote Trump but now with the charges I'm switching to RFK! This man gets it. We are in trouble ya'll. 34 trillion in debt. No one is talking about this. Trump did raise the debt 8 trillion when he was in office.

[loudharley]

Ok, so he learned about an issue and found the facts to be different than he originally thought and adjusted his position. I respect that, most politicians will never admit that they were wrong on any issue. Seems like a reasonable stance, now can we get on with the issues that affect our quality of life, financial security and strength of our democracy?

[Android-Zen]

Again, we’re wasting our time arguing about 1000 innocent lives, when there are issues that impact millions of lives and cause millions of deaths. Abortion is a divisive issue that is brought up every election as a way of dividing and distracting people from the really big problems. Being pro life shouldn’t end at birth. If we put the same effort and discussion into addressing the corrupt merger between state and corporate power, that would save many more lives, and improve the quality of life for hundreds of millions lives.

[MCAVideos]

Megyn cut the clip before showing Bobby’s answer. Well, that’s not showing integrity, Megyn.

[BarrierIsland]

There is a morning after pill if you forget to take your birth control. Far more pressing issues going on than this redundancy...

[Sunshine_State]

Dear God, my daughter was born at 36 weeks and she’s now a college senior. She was completely viable at 36 weeks!

[phastphilosophy]

At the end of the day, RFK Jr. is the only candidate laying down his own damned life for us. We don't deserve him.

[HomesteadingRetirement]

Why is Meghan Kelly acting like a Jackass to this guy? He's the only sane candidate.
