Summary

Breaking developments in the COVID accountability story. Former senior NIAID adviser David Morens has been indicted on federal charges tied to the destruction and concealment of pandemic-era records. Senator Ron Johnson joins Del to discuss what this case could reveal about how key COVID decisions were made.

In the Jaxen Report, we revisit the emails that first raised alarms about efforts to avoid FOIA requests and shield officials during the pandemic. We also examine breaking developments on Capitol Hill, where Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s amendment to the Farm Bill passed, striking language that would have provided pesticide manufacturers with liability protections.

Next, who controls your car? A little-known provision buried in federal infrastructure legislation could require new vehicles to monitor driver behavior and even limit operation if “impairment” is detected.

Then, Del reports back from The People vs. Poison rally outside the U.S. Supreme Court, where many are demanding accountability over glyphosate liability protections. Food Babe founder Vani Hari joins the conversation.

Finally, functional medicine physician Dr. Ann Shippy discusses the fertility crisis and her new book, ‘The Preconception Revolution,’ exploring how environmental exposures and health before conception may shape the next generation.
