Jocko Podcast 431: You'll Get The Political Leadership You Deserve. With Robert F. Kennnedy Jr. 

Agree or disagree with him , RFK deserves to be able to debate Biden and Trump.

My vote is not just for RFK, it’s a vote to solidify a path for future third-party candidates. It’s time to end the Duopoly.

If it’s not obvious that Kennedy is the best candidate in this race… you’ve not listened to him enough. I’m ashamed to say I once thought this man nuts, but MSM is a strong and yet dying force.

There is no comparison. Like him or not. I can't imagine Trump or Bieden having this degree of honesty and depth of conversation on even the best day of their life. Wow.

Kennedy is the only candidate I have any interest in voting for.

That whole segment about his recovery from addiction is unreal. He's a freaking legend. Kennedy 2024!!

Kennedy is the best candidate for president I've seen in my lifetime

RFK is so much more authentic, intelligent, and grounded than any other candidate. And I mean by a mile.

55 year old white male conservative here. Thank God we have an alternative to Trump/Biden. I hate voting AGAINST someone rather than FOR someone. Glad to give my vote and support to RFK!

One of the very best Jocko. 2 years ago I thought he was a whacko, come to find out he seems right about everything! Help save this country and vote for this man.

A vote for RFK is one out of hope, not one out of fear. He has the power to bring Americans back together.

I just bought petition packs to help get RFK Jr. on the ballet in Ohio. I've never been this motivated to get involved before and he gives me hope for a better future for my son

I trust RFK more than any candidate I’ll say that

RFK is seriously what our country needs. I don't agree with everything he says but I believe he is a force for good and will do what he believes is right. 💯

RFK Jr has my vote! Go Bobby!

Voting for Kennedy is a vote to restore sanity and integrity. Trust your gut and release the tribal nature we all have.

This man is a proper leader.

The fact that dude's voice is so raspy and messed up but I still wanna listen to him for 3 hours.. he has my vote

I can’t wait to see Nicole Shanahan start to do the podcast rounds. I know there are many people disappointed in her being selected as VP, I was personally pulling for Tulsi, but I was there to hear her speak. I am already sold. She has a divine feminine energy that exudes love, strength and compassion. She has experience that will be extremely valuable in shaping our future. She is not a politician. She FEELS genuine. I have so much to say, but I’ll leave it there. #KennedyShanahan2024

Kennedy 2024! By far the best candidate this election

I don’t agree with every stance RFKJ takes. But I side with him on MANY issues important to me. I respect him. He is clearly a leader built from history, charisma, respect, and intellect. And we need to adapt old ideas with new thinking to successfully move forward. That is exactly what the RFKJ/Shanahan ticket provides. All the way with RFKJ 2024

Bobby Kennedy + Nicole Shanahan is the most exciting, highest IQ ticket of my lifetime. It's time to end the uniparty!

RFK deserves the right to carry on his father and uncle's legacy - he has my vote for president

I want him to be president so bad

With this man being the President of the United States the hole World would become a better place.

Every American needs to listen to this entire podcast.

The fact that he's not allowed to debate is what's wrong the US: two monopolies dominating the system.

🇺🇸Kennedy 2024🇺🇸 Only candidate having long form, unscripted, conversations like this.

RFK IS THE PRESIDENT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS MORE THAN EVER! 🙏🏼

Unlike any politician I've ever heard. A national treasure.

Jesus, I love Bobby. This interview is one of the best he's done and I've seen them all. Jocko is so sharp and curious, I'm so impressed by the way he kept this conversation flowing by asking the right questions after letting Bobby complete his thoughts. Just frigging outstanding.

For people who are concerned about the VP, just remember all the times RFK Jr. appeared to be wrong but ended up being right. If you trust his judgment and values, then maybe there is something about his pick you can't see yet.

Wow !!! That is a Man I'd be proud to call My President

Kennedy 2024 🇺🇸

Listening to this man makes voting for Biden or Trump seem absolutely absurd.

I proudly have a "Kennedy for President 2024" flag at the front of my house. 🇺🇲💪🏼

I love what this man stands for.

I am F ing loving the way Jacko is starting this podcast! Hell ya brother! RFK has my vote!

Regardless of politics, no other presidential candidate would be willing or able to sit down for 2+ hours and have such an insightful conversation filled with stories, philosophy, and extremely complex ideas. The fact that this man is able to bring in all aspects of his experiences through life and conversate naturally, intelligently, and coherently says more than any debate ever will.

Rfk gives me hope when no other candidate will

Kennedy is authentic. No hidden agenda, no special interest group paying him off. He is driven by what he thinks is morally right and best for our country. We desperately need that right now. RFK has my vote.

I am canadian and I would vote instantly for him… This is the kind of leader we need in every country.

I'm a Baby boomer, I don't trust MSM, I would vote for RFK jr. but I'm Australian. Sending my best wishes for a successful campaign. Wish we had someone like RFK jr. to lead our country!!

I’m rooting for this guy man… you’ll never agree with everything any politician says/does and if you do you’re absolutely possessed by an ideology or a cult of personality.

Our country needs RFK Jr’s leadership. Thank you Jocko. Semper Fidelis.

Another great interview. 👍👍 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 -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 -passionate about environmental and ecological concerns -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

I can’t wait to cast my vote for RFKjr in November.

Glad you had RFK JR on, he would make a great president. Fantastic interview Jocko

Fabulous discussion. Thank you Jocko for letting RFK show his true intelligence and wisdom and to recall pivotal moments in this country’s history, and not just harping on the few issues that the corporate media fixates on.

Run! Spread the word! Out with the OLD. Our President is here!

Voting for this dude. It would be refreshing to have his principles, thoughtfulness and intellect in leadership

Epic interview. Voting RFK Jr 2024 🇺🇸❤️

I find him a fascinating guy who's had a really interesting life. Anyone who's been through 14yrs of heroin addiction, had a spiritual awakening and emerged from that to do what he's done has learnt life lessons that are invaluable. It gives him a to ally different perspective and in our sick, addicted, consumer society, whether we want to vote for him or not, we should listen to him.

I can't wait to vote for RFK jr. The most intelligent candidate. No vitriol for the other candidates, the willingness to admit he doesn't have all the answers but is willing and has educated himself. He understands the need for a healthy nation and has solutions. He is a fighter and a patriot. I hope he is protected 🙏. He is the change we need.

RFK deserves to be on the debate stage, and every ballot in America. Every American deserves to vote for who they want! Go Kennedy!

Every time he speaks, it's a history lesson. Thank you Bobby.

Give this man secret service now!!

To whoever is reading this: Voting for RFK Jr. is not a wasted vote. When it comes time to vote, and it is tempting to vote for Biden or Trump, remember that it is not a wasted vote. This is our chance to break free from the duopoly. The higher the numbers, the more we change the political landscape. Do not waste your vote settling on Biden or Trump.

Kennedy is old school American class. Registered and ready to vote Kennedy here in California.

please America vote for this man. kind regards, the rest of the world.

Let’s go Bobby! Best candidate of my lifetime.

Thank you for making time to interview an actual human running for president.

Amazing episode! Thank you for having Bobby on. He absolutely has my vote, and it was great to hear you speak. This man is simply interested in healing this broken, disgraceful state of america. He’s talking about things that trump and biden wouldn’t DARE, because they’re paid off by their respective corporations.

RFK is the real deal. This is a real man I want to try to be.

Great interview! *RFK ALL THE WAY 2024* 🦅🇺🇲

The man is a history book- could you imagine Trump or Biden, talking about this kind of history for three hours??? Trump would just talk about himself, or put people down for three hours, and Biden, would just forget what he was talking about... I'm Irish, and proud of this man who knows his Irish/ American History well. God Speed Robert- You have my vote, and 100% support.

I’m voting for RFKjr. We need his leadership now.

Thank you for giving him a platform. And respecting the man who is going to finally take this country back. We deserve better! Bring him back again!

RFK Jr has my vote

Absolutely phenomenal podcast and RFK is amazing. He must win.

We’re not here to build a pile of stuff before we die, and whoever has the most stuff wins, we’re here to build character, the only thing that endures after we’re gone

61 yr old white male here. This man has my vote

Listening to the brilliance and integrity of RFK Jr. is so fulfilling. The commitment to his addiction recovery is so evident. He tells his story in such an honest and enlightening way. I had the opportunity to meet him and he is the real deal. ❤️

My dad was a Marine on one of those ships off Cuba. I'm very glad your uncle was there. Thank you Jocko and Bobby for offering the back story.

Living example of why not only knowing, but also understanding history is important.

I’ve seen a number of interviews with him now, and am constantly impressed with how well-informed, well spoken, and genuine he comes across. This was one of the best I’ve seen with him because it’s the first time I’ve heard him go in depth on his experience of some of the most iconic points in our country’s history. I think this may have been the best podcast I’ve seen with him. Thanks Jocko!

VERY happy to see you interview Mr Kennedy! Thanks, Jocko!

The other two presidential candidates are unable to participate in a 3 hour podcast.

Thank you jocko for having RFK jr on, his uncle ordered the creation of your unit in the navy in 62, and he deserves it. Patriot shit right here through and through

Seriously gives me hope for the country every time this man gets on a podcast!

The recent polls seriously under represent Independents, where RFK leads. He is going to take this!

Someone that wants to save soil, prevent poison from being in our food and water. Improve infrastructure. The vp is the only candidate that knows anything about ai. I can go on but they've got my vote.

I love hearing these childhood stories. Sounds like a wonderful childhood except for the tragic losses.

What a privilege to listen to these two incredible men.

So happy to see RFK on your podcast!

Thank you, Jocko for increasing Bobby's reach. Let's heal this great country 👏

Thanks Bobby. We love you Sir.

RFK 2024!

Can you Imagine Trump or Biden doing a long-form conversion with Jocko? Biden would fall asleep, and Trump would spend the entire 3 hours talking about how amazing he is. RFK would make an amazing President.

Amazing man. Let’s help him lead OUR great Nation!

I’m a baby boomer. I was not familiar with Bobby’s work with the environment. Not everyone loved the Kennedy’s back in the day. I do not get the news from TV. Once I decided to get informed about the candidates I started listening to as many podcasts as I could. I admire and respect RFK Jr. and am very excited about Shanahan and her credentials as well! RFK Jr all in 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

RFK Jr is cognitively whole; can’t say that for Biden or Trump. You may not agree with a particular position, but you know where he stands and he tells you why, in depth, not sound bites - or through words written by “staff”. What more can you ask for?

I hope RFKJ becomes president.

Rfk jr. should be given security protection as other presidential candidates are given.

I can listen to this guy all day long

🎉RFK jr 2024🎉 Let's help however we can for WE THE PEOPLE to have a great president!!

Thanks for having RFK Jr on! Pumped to listen to a Presidential Candidate be interviewed by someone who would be a great President himself! Thanks Jocko! And Echo! 🙌🏽

Incredible interview. I love how you reference the book and read passages throughout the discussion. Such an honor to vote for someone with such integrity into office 🙏🇺🇸🙏

The way Jacko narrated RFK Jr’s Book, got me the chills, RFK 2024

Much respect to you Bobby. Great guest Jocko!
