RFK Jr. says he was not happy with the Executive Order, but he emphasizes this is a 60+ year train-wreck that President Trump did not create, and it certainly cannot be fixed overnight. RFK Jr understands exactly why Trump did it, and this is the dark truth:
• A large majority of our food supply is Glyphosate ready and simply would not survive without it, and immediately banning Glysophate overnight would cause a chain reaction that would destroy our food supply and economy.
• He says, as I discovered when researching, the large majority of glyphosate (the active ingredient in herbicides like Roundup) is produced in China. So think about it:
— our crops need glyphosate
— China controls glyphosate
— Which means, China controls our food supply.
— therefore, China, our greatest adversary could cripple our food supply.
— which means, this is a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY
• RFK Jr emphasized the importance of President Trump realizing the National Security implications, making his decision to start producing Glysophate in America absolutely necessary, and could limit the dangers getting it from our greatest adversary.
• RFK JR emphasized the dangers of Glysophate very openly, minced no words about it — and said that his agency is actively working on new technologies and methods that get us off of this dangerous chemical for good.
?? MY THOUGHTS:
I 100% stand behind what RFK Jr said. When the EO came out, I didn’t understand why.. but after researching how we got here, I quickly understood this was a very complex problem, one that doesn’t get fixed overnight.
I am thanking God right now that we at lease have a President that recognized the dangers the past administrations have put us in, and a Health Secretary who understands the risks openly and is willing to do everything he can to stop this madness.
I trust these men, both Trump and RFK Jr. I believe they are making amazing strides with the problems they inherited. Give them time.
Have faith. It will all work out in the end

He articulated his position very well and expounded on regenerative farming. Very good interview as always. RFKjr is the best part of this admin and it’s not even close.

Glyphosate is a boogie man to begin with.

Cant have good crops with weeds.....and RFK is great at what he does.....
Getting off glyphosate is a good idea long-term.

He is wrong about China controls glyphosate, they only provide about 30% globally. Bayer (Monsanto) provides 40% globally which, unless things have changed, most comes from Luling, LA.

Glysophate is literal poison. Hard for me to swallow anyone saying we "need" it, like we need food dyes too.
All we are doing is giving Bayer/Monsanto a chance to come up with some remixture and automatically calling it "safe" once Trump gets out of office.

RFK is in direct opposition to the majority of the people running the EPA, particularly on the chemical side. Those differences weren't going away.

I'm betting the wealthy elitists' food doesn't contain glyphosate.

Bad analogy. Herbicides improve crop yields. Improving crop yields increases security of the food supply, and helps keep food prices down. Plentiful, affordable food is essential. Food dyes are not essential.
I'm not suggesting Glyphosate is the only herbicide available, but it is cost effective and relatively safe at the concentrations found in our food supply. Every chemical has side effects if you get enough exposure. Oxygen is poison if you breathe it at high concentrations. Water is poison if you drink too much. Until we get something that's better than Glyphosate, which will happen eventually, we need to keep using what we have. "Let them eat cake" is not a good strategy.

I’m not a fan of indemnifying manufacturers either. Removing liability removes incentive to improve. But the alternative can’t just be “ban it tomorrow” unless someone can show how we replace its function at scale without major cost spikes. Use what we have while investing aggressively in safer and more efficient alternatives, and keep liability pressure in place and we'd probably eventually end up with something safer.
