Like, I've read the Monsanto cases when they're in court.

Hundreds and hundreds of pages because I actually care about it.

I want to know the arguments.

I want to know how does a jury keep finding them guilty, and I do know how they keep finding them guilty, and they are guilty.

I've been talking to people in my own state about not passing these pesticide immunity bills.

Even people that...

have as their constituency the companies, and just saying, like, look, here's what's happening.

They're lying to us, and I can prove this.

I know how they're lying.

And I have came out as a part of my campaign to not put my head in the sand and deny the truth that's in front of me of what's going on.

So that's the backdrop of which I read this.

And you know, the most common thing I'm reading about it is that it doesn't provide product liability immunity.

That's a complete lie.

There's nothing in the executive order, the Defense Production Act or 707 that excludes product liability.

If the order from the USDA, which by the way, this is gonna be managed by the USDA, is to maintain full production and availability of the product, that they're ordered to do this,

They'll use the same type of defenses that were used by Monsanto, by the way, when they created Agent Orange and poisoned so many people.

They, the government in that case, now this was defense, I get that in the sense of we're at war, but we invoked the Defense Production Act.

But in that case, when they were using Agent Orange, and there's so many harms from it, because it was a very nasty, nasty chemical,

The government ended up paying $50 billion to people hurt by it, while the companies paid about $180 million.

My bigger fear about this is that what we've just done is we have offloaded liability onto the taxpayer.
