It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone. On yesterday's show,

many of you heard, we talked about RFK Jr.'s testimony before seven congressional committees last week.

One of the issues we touched on was that members of the Maha movement are becoming disillusioned with Kennedy and President Trump

because the administration went soft on glyphosate.

The active ingredients in the herbicide Roundup, one of the most widely used herbicides in the world,

on home lawns and gardens as well as commercial agriculture. And as it happens, yesterday was also

the day of Supreme Court oral arguments in a major case concerning glyphosate. So let's play a few

clips from the hearing and take a closer

look. Glifosate has been linked to cancer by the World Health Organization. It's been the subject

of tens of thousands of lawsuits and is a chemical that many scientists, environmental advocates,

and public health researchers have been sounding the alarm about for a very long time. And yet, it has sprayed

on crops across America, sold at every hardware store, and its label carries no cancer warning.

That's because the EPA has not decided that it warrants one. The Supreme Court case revolves

around a man named John Dernel. He spent two decades spraying

roundup around his neighborhood. He was later diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. A Missouri jury

awarded Dernel over a million dollars and found that Monsanto failed to warn him of the cancer

risk. Now Monsanto, owned by a German

conglomerate Bayer, wants the Supreme Court to throw that verdict and that monetary award out.

The Trump administration solicitor general showed up to argue on Monsanto's side,

even as RFK Jr., who once won a nearly $290 million verdict against Monsanto,

sits in the cabinet and sits quietly by or even in support.

And the politics here is something.
