Show notes

Producer’s Note: This special release originally ran on the RFK JR. PODCAST on Sept. 22, 2023. The episode was titled WAR AND PEACE WITH NAVY SEAL JACK CARR.

On today’s episode of Danger Close, Jack is interviewed by 2024 presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr in a special dual-cast conversation. They discuss 9/11, Afghanistan, senior military officers, politicians, accountability, consequences, the intelligence community, and the long-term impacts of November 22, 1963.

This week, RFK Jr. announced that he is dropping his Democratic party bid to run as an independent.

During his speech in Philadelphia he explained, “I’ve come here today to declare our independence from the tyranny of corruption which robs us of affordable lives, our belief in the future, and our respect for each other. But to do that I must first declare my own independence. Independence from the Democratic Party and from all other political parties.”
