With vaccinations increasingly a point of political tension, correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program – a “no fault” vaccine court that balances the public health benefits of widespread vaccination with rare cases of harm to individuals. Founded in the 1980s, the program has paid out billions of dollars to thousands of Americans. International crime groups are finding new, sophisticated ways to infiltrate the global supply chain online, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars of goods per year. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi reports on the growing threat of cargo theft and how 24 thousand bottles of Guy Fieri’s tequila vanished on their way to the warehouse. Correspondent Lesley Stahl visits Rob Reiner on the New Orleans set of Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, the long-awaited sequel to his 1984 cult classic, This Is Spinal Tap. Four decades after launching the now-beloved mockumentary genre with a fully improvised classic, the director of When Harry Met Sally, Stand By Me, A Few Good Men, and The Princess Bride reunites the band for an encore.

  • Right now,

  • we are living through some of the most tumultuous political times our country has ever known.

  • I'm David Remnick, and each week on The New Yorker Radio Hour,

  • I'll try to make sense of what's happening alongside politicians and thinkers like Cory Booker,

  • Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, Tim Waltz, Katanji Brown Jackson, Newt Gingrich,

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Charlemagne the God, and so many more.

  • That's all on The New Yorker Radio Hour, wherever you listen to podcasts.

  • The chances of serious vaccine injury have been likened to lottery odds, lightning strikes.

  • But if you are one of the unlucky few, you can file a case in vaccine court.

  • I represent both vaccine-injured children and adults.

  • Most of them will start the conversation by saying, I'm not anti-vax.

  • Why do you think they need to tell you right off the bat they're not anti-vax but?

  • There's a lot of public pressure that people think you're some kind of a crazy person or you're out there.

  • And also because most people have never heard of a vaccine injury.

  • Rare.

  • Tonight's story involves a celebrity chef, a rock star,

  • and a highway heist that even Hollywood couldn't dream up.

  • Well, when the president of your company calls you, he says,

  • you're not going to believe this, but you lost two truckloads of Santo Tequila.

  • Lost.
