Episode Details

Jordan and Nate dig into what they call a genuine media scandal this week: two supposedly measles related deaths in Pennsylvania that the county coroner and commissioner themselves say never happened, complete with a NBC infant death story that quietly admits the actual cause was a ruptured spleen. They connect the dots to what they believe is a deliberate push to pressure Amish communities in Pennsylvania and New York into vaccinating, tying it to a related Supreme Court bound legal fight over religious exemptions. From there it is a rundown of astroturfed food recall panic accounts, RFK Jr's newly signed temporary beef import deal and what it means for American ranchers, and a genuinely nostalgic tangent about the worst school lunches either of them ever ate. The show wraps with some real optimism: new fertilizer plants breaking ground and early signs of a farming shift away from glyphosate.
