SECTION 453: TOXIC IMMUNITY ON CAPITOL HILL

SECTION 453: TOXIC IMMUNITY ON CAPITOL HILL

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty
Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 072625
Episode #: 1949
Original Release Date: 07/23/2025

Behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, a toxic deal is unfolding—and it reeks of corruption. Buried deep in the Interior Department’s appropriations bill is Section 453, a quiet little clause with catastrophic consequences. Written to shield pesticide giants like Bayer-Monsanto from lawsuits, this provision would block farmers, families, and victims from holding chemical manufacturers accountable—no matter how much harm their products cause.

Introduced by Congressman Mike Simpson, this section gives corporate polluters a free pass, overriding state laws and gutting legal protections for those poisoned by products like Roundup. It’s a blatant betrayal of public trust—crafted not for the people, but for the powerful.

We urge every American to contact their representative and demand that Section 453 be removed. Because when lawmakers side with lobbyists over lives, we don’t just lose lawsuits—we lose our freedom to fight back.


FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS

About the Show

Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don’t normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.
