In addition to figures like President Joe Biden and Donald Trump, RFK Jr. is vying in this year’s presidential election, and has staked out vociferous stances on forever chemicals in firefighting gear, dignitary protection for presidential candidates, and mandates, which has affected emergency personnel from New York to Seattle.

PFAS lives in our homes, firehouses, and firefighter PPE.  In this discussion, your hosts and RFK Jr. touch on the cancer rates of firefighters and his fight to provide a safer, healthier working environment for firefighters.
