HW465 Essential Elements
Health and Human Services
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to deliver the keynote address at the
Austin Eat Real Food Rally
. The event, presented by MAHA™ Action, is
part of a nationwide movement championing real food, metabolic health, and the
reversal of America's chronic disease epidemic, supporting the new Dietary
Guidelines that prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods over ultra-processed
alternatives.
This week on The HighWire, Del Bigtree
tackles the MAHA moment head-on, starting with rising backlash over the Trump
Administration’s recent action on glyphosate and concerns about expedited
production tied to Roundup.
Plus, Jefferey Jaxen takes us deeper into the Epstein
files, focusing on what’s coming to light around medical/science publishing and
influence.
Del is joined by Vani Hari (Food Babe) to
discuss what’s happening right now in food policy and reform, and what it means
for families.
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.
And Jefferey Jaxen Reports: What Is RFK
Jr.’s Plan for Glyphosate?
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.
Trump Directs USDA to
Make More Glyphosate, Signals Liability Protection for Pesticide Makers
(DECLARES URGENT NEED FOR MORE PESTICIDES)
President Donald Trump invoked the Defense Production Act of
1950 to expand domestic production of glyphosate, the controversial weedkiller
at the center of more than 60,000 cancer lawsuits against Bayer. The move
sparked outrage from MAHA activists and health advocates who said it puts
corporate interests ahead of public health.

DOJ Officials with Ties to Bayer Ask Supreme Court to Wipe Out Glyphosate
Cancer Claims
The Trump
administration on Monday urged the U.S. Supreme Court to side with Bayer in a
case that could wipe out thousands of Roundup cancer lawsuits and billions in
potential liability. It was the second time the DOJ intervened in the case, and
three of nine officials who signed the brief previously worked for law firms
that represented Bayer.
We’ve Addicted Our Farmers
to Glyphosate, But That’s a Poison. RFK Jr. Tells Joe Rogan
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called glyphosate a
poison
and questioned its safety. He insisted the U.S. must ultimately
transition
off of glyphosate
through regenerative farming and new technology.

Bayer Leverages Ties to Trump’s Washington to Protect Pesticide Empire
A series of recent wins handed to Bayer clash with President
Donald J. Trump’s promise to
Make America Healthy Again
which many supporters understood as a
pledge to confront industries linked to chronic disease. The wins also show how
a foreign corporation can procure influence at the highest levels of the U.S.
government and shape policies that have devastating consequences for human
health.
Lawmakers
Launch Bipartisan Bill to Block Trump’s Executive Order on Glyphosate
Reps. Thomas Massie and Chellie Pingree introduced the No
Immunity for Glyphosate Act in response to President Donald Trump’s executive
order boosting domestic glyphosate production and shielding manufacturers from
liability. The bipartisan bill would block federal funding for the order and
reaffirm the right of individuals to sue chemical companies for health issues
related to glyphosate.

The Hijacking of Science Publishing and Epidemic Plan by Bill Gates and the
Epstein Connection
Gates has now confirmed the
relationship the following documents describe.
On February 25, 2026, Bill Gates
told Foundation staff he maintained years of post-conviction meetings with
Epstein, flew on his jet, had two extramarital affairs Epstein discovered, and
brought Foundation executives into the orbit.ą This lends significant
plausibility to a previously
dismissed
Epstein draft letter
alleging leverage -- a letter many analysts believed was either
fabricated or an attempted blackmail instrument.˛
But the affairs are
not the story. The architecture is.
The Epstein files reveal a system, not a scandal. Across eight investigations and thousands of EFTA-numbered documents, the pattern is not one compromised billionaire making bad choices. It is an operational infrastructure -- financial instruments , intelligence channels , diplomatic access, personnel placement, and narrative control -- structured in a way that concentrated influence over pandemic preparedness, vaccine finance, and global health governance.
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.

did not merely attend meetings. He approved structures. He directed foundation

public posture distanced itself from him.
Part 8
of a Series: Inside the overlapping philanthropy, defense research, and biotech
relationships revealed in the Epstein Files
In a must-see in-studio interview, Del sits
down with Dr. Michael Nehls on lithium, asking whether we’ve been missing (or
denying) a truly essential element for mental health.
AI Overview:
lithium carbonate
is
a
primary, FDA-approved mood-stabilizing medication used to treat bipolar
disorder (mania and depression) by acting on the central nervous system to
reduce the frequency and severity of mood swings
. It is also used off-label for
treatment-resistant depression, enhancing coping skills, and reducing suicide
risk
Physician and molecular geneticist Michael Nehls, MD, PhD
joins the show to make the case that trace-dose lithium may function as an
essential nutrient with meaningful implications for brain health—especially for
the hippocampus, which he describes as a key hub for cognitive resilience.
Nehls walks through the science and his interpretation of why this idea has
remained outside mainstream medicine, pointing to historic regulatory decisions
(including a 1949 FDA ban on certain lithium uses) and decades of stigma tied
to high-dose psychiatric treatment. He also raises concerns about institutional
and industry incentives that, in his view, discourage broader recognition and
research into lithium’s potential role at nutritional levels.
Alzheimer’s
disease has strongly associated with disrupted NAD+ balance, and research
suggests restoring intake can reverse cognitive decline rather than merely
slowing disease progression
Animal
studies show restoring NAD+ fully reversed advanced Alzheimer’s features,
including memory loss, inflammation, tau pathology, oxidative stress, and DNA
damage, even after severe disease was established.
NAD+ functions
as an upstream regulator of brain resilience, coordinating energy production,
DNA repair, inflammation control, and protein processing, reframing Alzheimer’s
as a systems-level energy failure
Practical strategies emphasize testing NAD+
status and supporting production safely via niacinamide alongside adequate
intake of other B vitamins
