The HighWire with Del Bigtree — Episode 466 (March 5, 2026) opens with breaking legal and policy news: the Trump EPA has filed a brief at the U.S. Supreme Court backing Bayer/Monsanto and glyphosate (Roundup).

“Food Babe” Vani Hari joins Del to expose what she calls a make-or-break moment for the food movement. With 180,000 cancer lawsuits, billions already paid out, and a lobbying machine entrenched in D.C., she warns Bayer is pushing toward Supreme Court immunity to avoid future liability. After a decade battling Monsanto, Vani says the window to act is closing—and is organizing a massive rally at the U.S. Supreme Court on April 27, 2025, “People vs. Poison,” to mobilize the public before it’s too late.

A new executive order aimed at ensuring an “adequate supply” of glyphosate-based herbicides is drawing backlash from MAHA leaders—who say it echoes the 1986 liability shield created under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. They argue the move functions as a protection plan for manufacturers while limiting public recourse, and warn it could be a lobbyist-driven push to expand legal immunity for chemical companies. With public pressure now building, MAHA voices are urging viewers to mobilize—before glyphosate follows the same path vaccines did.

Newly surfaced documents and reporting are fueling questions about whether a small network of powerful players including Bill Gates, Jeffrey Epstein, and individuals linked to Robert Maxwell’s scientific publishing legacy sought outsized influence over how research is distributed and amplified. Emails, investments, and media-funding ties are being cited as potential indicators of an effort to shape which scientific ideas rise to prominence and which get sidelined. The broader issue: who controls the pipelines of modern science—publishing, PR, and perception—and what transparency is owed to the public when power concentrates behind the scenes.
