And whenever someone's coming before the committee, you have to think, what am I going to ask this guy?
There's no shortage of things to press him on.
But what I had seen was that the uproar around glyphosate was bipartisan, right?
maha this is this big issue and like maha has organized around this and so when i talk about like these core truths it's like this stuff is real like corporations are and people know about this right and they know that that these companies are poisoning us whether it's pfas or glyphosate or whatever it is and they know that they're paying off the government or or exerting power to not be accountable to it and to not let us know so what happened with you and zeldin in congress
So he comes before and I asked him, have you ever met with the Bayer CEO?
And he goes, absolutely not.
And I reach for a paper.
I probably did it too soon.
And then he goes, and he sees me reach for the paper.
And he goes, oh, it was very brief.
It was a meeting, but it was very brief.
because he would have perjured himself.
So he sees me reach for the paper because he didn't know what I had.
I said, oh, did anyone who works for you have conversations with them too?
Because that email said that they had already met with Bayer and prepped all the content already.
And Bayer was thanking him for getting rid of the glyphosate warnings
likely so that they could set up the Supreme Court case, which was happening this week.
So, you know... To give Americans cancer.
