And so right when this came out, and this is again about me not being a politician, I voiced opposition to it.
And it's not a popular thing to do, but when it comes to taking a stand for the right thing, you have to do it.
And that could have negative repercussions for me, for sure.
But none would be as bad as what you're saying about me going along with this.
You know, Jordan Peterson said something I thought was very... was very deep.
He said, when you have something to say, silence is a lie.
And that's really difficult in politics.
Because I think in something like this, the easiest thing for me to do would be to not immediately put out a tweet saying that my tweet basically said this.
There's no potential ban on glyphosate.
There's no pending ban on glyphosate.
There's no pending shortage of glyphosate.
There are only pending lawsuits of Americans who have been harmed by this product.
This must be reversed.
And so when I look at this and I hear all these people saying it doesn't provide immunity, absolutely it'll provide immunity.
The word is used right in it.
That's on purpose.
When they go to court after they invoke the Defense Production Act, when Bayer goes to court on new cases, because they're still not putting a cancer warning on the label, if they just put a cancer warning on the label, future cases would be null and void because the entire thing is about failure to warn.
That's all they have to do is admit culpability.
Now, what will that do?
It'll create a cascade effect of people that jump into lawsuits because, well, now you're admitting it.
