    While listening to this interview, I was sitting there with tears of intense emotion , washing my face, as I entertained the thought, and the potential of what it could mean, to have a person of integrity in the presidency who understands how regenerating agriculture can regenerate the global human society as a whole!
    Thank you John and Bobby for delving into the possible, for a debacle that appears impossible.

I don't really understand how RFK jr can stomach Trump's "anti-envorinmental" stance. I guess he will be holding his nose when he gets down to business. He is already getting massive pushback for his unconventional but authentic truths ( in my lifetime educated opinion) that he espouses. May he have the chance to make a real impact.

    Hi John, this is a terrific conversation. Your monologue at 37 minutes about expanding our collective capacity for meaningful stewardship was inspiring and I'll dare to say that it sounded presidential. However, I'm surprised to see a collaboration with Robert F. Kennedy during an election year in which he is running for President. The inherent nature of this interview and surrounding context of the upcoming election makes this extremely difficult to interpret this as anything other than a political endorsement by you and AEA. I understand that the description on this video has a disclaimer to say the opposite, but that is not satisfactory or believable. You are not hosting RFK on the "John Kempf" youtube platform - this is the official AEA podcast and youtube channel. As a result, this conversation represents both you and AEA's political inclinations. Personally, I have enjoyed the lack of political commentary on this podcast over the past year, and have always thought that one of the strengths of Regenerative Agriculture is it's ability to remain grounded in science, free from political white noise, and inclusive of all political views. That belief lead me to become a small financial investor in AEA recently, as I believe in the mission and ability to reach both sides of the aisle. However, RFK's presence on this podcast is inherently polarizing and has tarnished that impression for me in a small way. In the future, with such guests of political importance and potential polarizing views, I would ask that you do a better job to claim political impartiality verbally during the podcast. If you'd like to use the AEA podcast for political discourse, than more guests with different political persuasions would also help to achieve impartiality. Lastly, fact checking all guests is extremely important in order to avoid promoting mis-information. For example, a link to the CDC report that RFK mentioned, as well as other disclaimers about statistics that he shared would be critical for listeners avoid sharing potential false information with their communities (and saying that they heard it on the AEA podcast). I'm not able to find the CDC report he mentioned, so please follow up and post that for everyone. Thank you again for all your work and efforts to remain more inclusive and impartial going forward. I believe that this is critical for AEA's mission as a national and global force for the adoption of Regenerative Agriculture practices.

      @humanointegral 6 місяців тому +1

      It depends on perspective. Another way to look at it is: regenerative agriculture, specifically AEA’s approach, is so important right now, that not giving it as much exposure as possible is criminal. From that perspective, declining a podcast opportunity with RFK is the most ridiculous idea ever. You can also look at RFK’s context in many ways. He’s been podcasting for a long time. He’s been an environmentalist for his whole life. But in any case, if you ask me, him having this conversation in an election year makes it even more promising

    • @phoenixhabitats
      @phoenixhabitats 6 місяців тому

      @@humanointegral I see your point about increased exposure with RFK's audience. However, not all exposure is constructive. For some people, an appearance with RFK is akin to an appearance with Trump, Putin, or any other polarizing political figure. Yes, it may increase exposure. But it may also ostracize half of your audience and ultimately reduce the listener base because of polarization. So it's a net harmful effect for growing a sustainable, long-term audience. Again, I think it's fine to do this, and there are just some other practices to consider to appear fair and balanced, and avoid polarization of the message (which is that everyone should adopt regenerative practices).

    And, when the plants we eat are 100% resistant to disease, WE become resistant to disease as well. It is a chain reaction, break it and the domino effect is massive, expensive, and more than anything, totally unnecessary. We have to remember that the food system was designed to make money out of the fact that we eat daily, rather than designed to nourish and regenerate us. If we don't understand those factual and foundational building blocks of the current conventional system, it is hard to comprehend the concept of regenerative systems.

      Thank goodness for the work he has done in regards to vaccines! I’m saying this as a pediatric medical provider and I can’t tell you what a treasure he has ended up being. After spending hours upon hours following up on his sources I’ve found him to be very solid in regards to data. I’ve been regularly looking at what he has been up to for almost a decade now. His approach to the environment and to health (which are intrinsically related, vaccines pretty much do to the human virome/biome what pesticides and GMOs do to the plants and soil) are so incredibly vital. I don’t agree with him on everything but I trust him and his ability to deeply research and to evolve his perspective based on the data he finds. I understand why regenerative farming works because I understand how to treat vax injured kids. They are the same on a very basic level.

    • @danlefever6254

      If you do a deep dive into the history of vaccines as Bobby has, I think you will come to the same or similar conclusion that vaccines may never have done what has been attributed to them in the public health arena. Worse they, in the last 50 years, have become a way for large pharmaceutical companies to rake in gigantic revenues at the expense of we taxpayers with no liability for any of the adverse reactions and detrimental side effects known to occur for some recipients of all classes of vaccine. Want to see the evidence? Explore CDC'S Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System . Any claims for damages by vaccines to the recipient are paid by your government, funded by you as a taxpayer, not the lucrative big pharma companies developing, producing and marketing vaccines at a profit, since the have been absolved of all liability since 1986 by an act of congress. Dig in to the real story in Brian Hooker PhD's and RFK Jr's collaborative book "Vax- Unvax".

    • @melodini3125
      @melodini3125 6 місяців тому

      @@Spencer_Plant_Projects what set off the lightbulb for me was my clinical practice and talking with some of my other colleagues about what I was observing and comparing it to what they were. I discovered the data that was available and realized I was not only not alone in what I was seeing but that there was a huge amount of data out there that I had been unaware of. I think I first started digging through a bunch of the SIDS stuff but I don’t remember what part of that had any connection to Bobby. I know he has referenced SIDS data but my SIDS research was stuff I pulled from all over and was before I started saving links or studies so it would take a long time to try to find it all again. I do remember that one of the earlier studies that I do connect with Bobby was the vaxxed/unvaxxed retrospective study that came out of Africa (I’m sorry it’s been a long time so I’m forgetting which country and the name of the doctor, however I do know it’s one of the studies referenced in the new book Bobby recently published with Dr. Brian Hooker. I think the book is called Vaxed/Unvaxed? Sorry I’ll have to come back later on with some links). Dr. Paul Thomas was a colleague of mine and when his data came out Bobby and Del Bigtree and a bunch of us started really trying to gather together any vax/unvax studies that were out there and compile them. I remember Bobby at one point put out graphs made from the data he collected and I want to say there was around 60 pages of it and it pulled together what he had found thus far. The study from Africa that I’m forgetting the Dr on was part of that data. It was the one looking at all cause mortality in children who had gotten vaccinated or not and the DPT data was particularly alarming especially among girls. Have you read Turtles All the Way Down yet? There’s a lot of data referenced in that one. It’s not Bobby specific but if you’re interested in the data, it’s a great resource. I’ve got several 4 inch binders full of printed out studies over in my storage unit but to be honest I’m unlikely to go get them. Most of my vax research was stuff I did in 2017-2019, with the exception of the newer stuff that was coming out since then. From 2020 I was more focused on covid and how to treat it and then on the mess that those damn gene therapy shots have caused and trying to figure that out. It’s harder to deal with than regular vax injuries. It has some aspects that are almost like Lyme in their tenaciousness. It’s honestly disheartening because you feel like you’re trying to stop a run away train that’s going very fast on a very short track and often your skills and resources just aren’t enough. But what else are you going to do? You can’t abandon people who are suffering even if you haven’t found the solutions they need yet, you have to just keep trying. The silver lining though is that there’s at least 17k of us around the world working on trying to figure this out and sharing what we have found. Censorship forced us to find other ways to connect and share data and Bobby and CHD have been one of the conduits many of us connect through. I’ll see if I can come back later with some links for you. I probably should have found them before replying lol. Oh, also if you’re interested in really understanding the parallels between the health of the soil and the gut virome etc. check out the work of Dr. Zach Bush. Vaccines are an attempt to provide a knock off immune system that cripples the innate immune system of the body, likewise pesticides do a similar thing with plants. You can’t poison your way to health. The closest you can get is a really unhealthy knock off that’s extremely fragile and prone to unnecessary disease. Oh, also go look up the research of and Nobel prize acceptance speech of the guy who coined the term anaphylaxis. His assessment regarding the effects of injected protein makes it very clear that injectable vaccines will never work the way they want them to. Sorry again, I’ve forgotten his name, I’m so bad at remembering names and titles lol. But you can find him if you look up the origin of the term anaphylaxis. That was another lightbulb moment.
