Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discuss the development of Donald Trump's political team, how the team plans to tackle foreign affairs and the ongoing health crisis, Kamala Harris' inability to unify the country (let alone police the broader world), and the detrimental metamorphosis of the Democratic Party which has left it scrambling and scheming for a shot at the presidency, despite the clear will of the people. This episode was filmed on September 18th, 2024 Robert F.

Water is essential to life, yet factory animal farms have polluted freshwater and river and wetland ecosystems and rural neighborhoods for decades. But we can work to protect water, wildlife, animals, and community health. To tell us how, is our guest Larry Baldwin. He's with the nonprofit group Waterkeeper Alliance   https://waterkeeper.org/ and serves as their Campaign Coordinator for the “Pure Farms, Pure Waters” program in North Carolina. He works with the 15 licensed Waterkeeper Alliance groups in North Carolina in their efforts to reform the current polluting practices of the industrial meat producing facilities, known as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, or CAFOs. In this 36-minute interview, "In Tune to Nature" radio host Carrie Freeman asks Larry Baldwin about what these mass hog facilities and mass chicken warehouses look and smell like (horrible for the animals), how the growers/farmers are in debt while agribusiness corporate executives profit, what water and air pollution these animal factories produce, like the open manure pits surrounding pig factory farms -- feces that puts bacteria and sewage into creeks and also gets sprayed into the air, creating environmental injustices in the largely Black rural communities where these factory farms are ruining quality of life. Larry was featured in a documentary on fighting this injustice, called The Smell of Money, streaming now.  Larry discusses programs and policies that can protect communities and water ecosystems from CAFO pollution, and helps us know how we can help move past factory animal farming.  In Tune to Nature is a weekly show airing on Wednesdays from 6:30-7pm EST on Atlanta indie station WRFG (Radio Free Georgia) 89.3FM hosted by Carrie Freeman or Melody Paris. Please consider donating to support this 50plus-year old independent, progressive, noncommercial Atlanta radio station at www.wrfg.org  Take care of yourself and others, including other species, like those who rely on healthy river ecosystems.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s career began in 1985 as an attorney for the environmental nonprofit RiverKeeper. He became one of the most influential environmentalists in the United States, receiving TIME Magazine's "Hero of the Planet” and the Sartisky Peace Award.Son of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy, Bobby Jr. was a lifelong Democrat but became increasingly estranged from the party in the 2010s as it drifted away from its traditional values. He made his final break on October 9, 2023, when he announced his candidacy as an independent for President of the United States. Bobby has spent nearly 40 years fighting corrupt corporations and government agencies. During his tenure at RiverKeeper, he successfully sued dozens of municipalities to force compliance with the Clean Water Act. He won cases against corporate giants too, including a suit against General Electric for toxic runoff from its corporate jet hangar and a court order against ExxonMobil mandating they clean up tens of millions of gallons of spilled oil in Brooklyn, NY. Building on the success of the local Riverkeeper model, Bobby co-founded the WaterKeeper Alliance and served as its President for 21 years. Under his direction, it became the world's largest nonprofit devoted to clean water and now protects 2.7 million miles of waterways with over a million volunteers in the United States and 46 other countries. Bobby's work has emphasized protection of local communities in their battle against corporate and government polluters. Some of his most noteworthy victories include: Beginning in 1985, Kennedy helped the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) establish an international program for environmental, energy and human rights. On behalf of this program he assisted indigenous people in Canada and Latin America protecting their homelands and wilderness areas from unwanted large-scale extractive energy projects. Bobby Kennedy was an early and vocal critic of President Bush's decision to invade Iraq and the US enhanced interrogation program at Guantanamo Bay and around the world. He has also been a devoted supporter of union rights, going on hunger strike with United Farm Workers and serving as a pall-bearer during the funeral of Cesar Chavez. Bobby has consistently argued that those who work hard in the United States should be able to afford a good life. Bobby's activism around toxic pollution led him to lobby successfully for the removal of mercury from most childhood vaccinations in the United States. The pharmaceutical megacorporations are by far the most heavily fined and criminally prosecuted companies in America, yet also some of the most powerful. His nonprofit, Children's Health Defense, has long been a key crusader against the corruption of this industry and its influence in government. Bobby is an avid outdoorsman, master falconer and white water kayaker. He has authored a dozen books on subjects ranging from environmental protection to American history and public life, including children's books on the lives of St Francis of Asisi and Robert Smalls. In October 2011, Bobby founded EcoWatch, a leading environmental news site, and was an editor of Indian Country Today, North America's largest Indigenous newspaper. Bobby is the proud father of seven children and grandpa to two grandkids.

Kennedy Jr. needs no introduction, but you might not know just how much he is doing to improve the world. He serves as President of Waterkeeper Alliance and the Founder, Chairman of the Board, and Chief Legal Counsel for Children's Health Defense. He was named one of Time magazine's Heroes for the Planet for his success helping Riverkeeper lead the fight to restore the Hudson. And on top of that, he was instrumental in the landmark victory against Monsanto in 2018, as well as in the DuPont Case that inspired the movie "Dark Waters.”  It's really meaningful getting the chance to talk to one of the activists who I most admire, someone who is standing up against huge corporations and corruption to protect regular people and the environment, and he's someone we really need to hear from during the current health crisis. I know this is a confusing and distressing time for a lot of people who are just trying to keep their families safe from both any possible diseases and the damaging effects of government overreach, but this episode only deals in cold hard facts. 09:45 — Why Kennedy Jr. was motivated to make a career out of legally protecting the environment, especially water, and people from corruption and negligence Growing up in the water every day Working with a group of fisherman whose livelihoods were being destroyed by pollution How a law from the 1800s that had never been enforced helped create Riverkeeper and protect American waterways 18:15 — Why he supports vacc!ne awareness and safety testing How long Kennedy Jr. has been censored online The relationship between mercury and vacc!nes Being forced to confront the difference between what regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical agencies said about safety and what the peer-reviewed science said about safety What happened when Kennedy Jr. started asking questions Getting the runaround about “good mercury” What changed in 1989 Autism Hiding science from the American people His first experience with censorship Social media's draconian censorship How the search engines are rigged Bias in the fact checking 49:40 — The shocking breakdown of Big Pharma's vacc!ne revenue and corruption Weaponizing the “anti-vaxxer” label “You cannot make a vacc!ne safely:” Big Pharma's admission that led to legislation protecting them An explosion of chronic diseases The absurd surge in Big Pharma profits Hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths 01:12:55 — Why Kennedy Jr's vacc!ne work with President Trump fizzled out When Kennedy Jr. was called to meet with the Trump admin How Big Pharma put an end to the initiative Good science will kill the industry “I've been fighting for 40 years to get mercury out of fish — nobody calls me anti-fish.” 01:26:05 — If flu vacc!nes are not effective, how could a COV!D-19 vacc!ne possibly be? The “pathogenic priming” phenomenon What you'll start hearing from Fauci and Big Pharma as a vacc!ne gets closer The ridiculously small number of injuries related to vacc!nes that are reported Being raised to be skeptical of the powerful More about this episode.

DEFENDING BEEF, WITH NICOLETTE HAHN NIMAN For time immemorial, we have been taught that beef is bad for you and that cattle are bad for the land, the water and the climate. Nicolette Hahn Niman bought into that thinking and became a vegetarian as a college biology major active in environmental issues. As an environmental lawyer working for Waterkeeper Alliance, she explored the impact of concentrated animal feeding operations on water quality, while also getting to know “good” ranchers, one of whom, Bill Niman, she married. While still a vegetarian, she wrote the first edition of “Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat Production.” In this episode, we talk about the ecological and health reasons why beef can be good for you and cattle can be good for our environment, positively impacting water quality, as well as habitat for pollinators and birds.

If it's not stuck in glaciers or polar ice, 99 per cent of the world's freshwater is groundwater. Water underground supplies nearly half of the world's drinking water. But what happens when dangerous chemicals and waste – polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), oil, gasoline and road salts – percolate down into that supply?    On this episode of What About Water? Jay sits down with the father of contaminant hydrogeology, Dr. John Cherry, to talk about the water under our feet, and how we can better monitor it. In the 1970s, Cherry wrote the foundational textbook on groundwater with his colleague, Al Freeze. And we hear how one of his students paved the path for his successful career in the field. To find out what's actually being done to stop industry polluters from dispersing PFAS chemicals into our waterways, producer Erin Stephens speaks with Marc Yaggi, CEO of the global nonprofit Waterkeeper Alliance. Yaggi shares what Waterkeeper is advocating for in Congress, brands eliminating PFAS from their production lines, and how everyone can get involved in the effort to get these “forever chemicals” out of our rivers. Check out their surface water quality survey here to learn more. Got a question for Jay? Write to us at ideas@whataboutwater.org and you may hear your question in an upcoming episode. Voice memos are also welcome!

"We were just sitting on the porch like normal on a beautiful Saturday. And then we heard this tractor, and then all of a sudden this animal waste was coming everywhere and it was stinking like nothing we had ever experienced," says Elsie Herring of Wallace, North Carolina. Herring is one of many eastern North Carolinians who have had negative health impacts and financial burdens as a result of nearby concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO's) over the last several decades. In this episode of CAFO's & Communities, we explore how the hog industry's hazardous waste redistribution has harmed neighboring communities and what they're doing about it.Produced by Dedan Waciuri, Kayla Guilliams, and Laura Bratton in collaboration with Sherri White-Williamson, Elsie Herring, Jeff Currie, Larry Baldwin, and Naeema Muhammad.

Welcome back and thanks for joining us for the 28th installment of the Beneath the Surface podcast. In Beneath the Surface Podcast: Anything But Mainstream, Corey and Sean reflect on a project that took place back in 2016 in and around the Apalachicola River--what might be BOTE's most underrated trip so far.  The Apalachicola River is fed from the Chattahoochee River, starting where the Chattahoochee River is dammed at the Florida state line in Southern Georgia. The river is the Apalachicola Bay's primary source of freshwater, an essential element to mix with the saltwater coming in from the Gulf of Mexico to make the ideal environment for thriving oyster beds. In this episode, the guys take another multi-day paddle trip down the Apalachicola River to shed light on the oyster fishery and its need for conservation. So sit back, press play, and learn a little something about what's happening along the Gulf Coast with a few laugh out loud moments along the way.Links from the EpisodeDiscover Florida's Forgotten Coast. Learn more about why Apalachicola Bay oyster fisheries are in danger.Enjoy BOTE Presents // Anything but Mainstream, a conservation expedition.Get to know the mission of the Waterkeeper Alliance. Jump back to episode 26 to learn about our partnership with SweetWater Brewery.The guys paddled the river on Flood and HD solid paddle boards.Who's in the EpisodeLead Designer, Co-Founder, and CEO at BOTE, Corey Cooper is a licensed engineer hailing from Auburn University.

In episode 26 of the Beneath the Surface Podcast: SweetWater - The Road Trip, Corey and Sean give us a breakdown of their three-day visit to Atlanta, Georgia, while filming a campaign video with SweetWater Brewery and Waterkeeper Alliance. You need fresh water to make beer. And you need fresh water to paddle board on. So the partnership between SweetWater, BOTE, and Waterkeeper Alliance to raise awareness for healthy fresh and saltwater ecosystems make complete sense. What doesn't make complete sense is all the crazy shit that happened during the filmmaking, and that's what Corey and Sean cover here. If you're looking to learn about clean water, check out the Anything But Mainstream video link in the Links from the Episode.
