  • Episode 461: WINS OF CHANGE
    Jan 30 2026
    On today’s HighWire, Former CDC Director Robert Redfield is now saying the quiet part out loud, admitting we were right about mRNA and spike protein. Also, Del Celebrates RFK Jr.’s Announcement of 21 new members of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), the committee responsible for coordinating the government’s autism research and response. This is huge, and Del has the details.

    Then, we examine Moderna’s announcement that it is halting new Phase 3 vaccine trials, citing reduced market incentives under increased federal oversight. What does this decision reveal about safety testing, accountability, and public health priorities?
    Also, a deep dive into the UK’s newly announced AI surveillance system — described by officials as a “panopticon.” We unpack the origins of the term and what it signals about the future of mass surveillance.

    Plus, as fraud investigations rock Minnesota, autism education providers are facing devastating funding cuts. Jennifer Larson of Holland Center joins Del to explain how legitimate, long-standing programs are now at risk — and how families are paying the price.
    Guest: Jennifer Larson

    Jan 26 2026

  • AI, UBI, AND THE END OF EARNING
    Jan 24 2026
    The rapidly accelerating AI revolution raises profound questions about jobs, human purpose, and economic survival as white-collar work is quietly displaced at scale. As universal basic income shifts from theory to political reality, a deeper question emerges: what happens to motivation, creativity, and freedom when human labor is no longer essential?

  • Episode 460: MOVING THE NEEDLE
    Jan 23 2026
    A major court ruling in Canada has declared Prime Minister Trudeau’s use of emergency powers against the trucker convoys illegal, including freezing bank accounts and silencing dissent. Is this a turning point for government overreach worldwide? Del and Jefferey Jaxen report.
    Jefferey Jaxen examines growing claims from Senator Rand Paul that the Department of Justice may be blocking accountability for Anthony Fauci, despite mounting evidence of suppressed debate and destroyed records.
    Plus, Del sits down with pediatrician Dr. Joel “Gator” Warsh, who once trusted the vaccine program, until “the science” no longer supported it. Can honest conversation restore trust and reveal common ground?
    Guest: Dr. Joel ‘Gator’ Warsh

  • THE UNCOUNTED COVID-19 VACCINE INJURIES
    Jan 19 2026
    Unresolved questions surrounding COVID-19 vaccine injuries have been brought into focus by contrasting public polling with official reporting systems, revealing how many serious adverse events may have gone uncounted. Jefferey exposes the glaring contradiction of vaccine architect Stanley Plotkin now calling for better detection, prevention, and compensation of vaccine injuries—after decades of defending a system that never properly studied or tracked them.

  • Episode 459: THE TRUTH IN OUR BLOOD
    Jan 16 2026
    This week, Del opens on the media backlash to the CDC’s shift toward shared vaccine decision-making. Is the panic really about safety, or about empowering Americans with choice? Jefferey Jaxen delivers a wide-ranging investigation into COVID vaccine injury data, exposing massive underreporting through VAERS and V-safe, new polling that shows widespread harm, and even admissions from legacy vaccine leaders that current safety science is insufficient. Then, he reports on Florida’s discovery of mercury and other heavy metals in baby food, the presence of PFAS “forever chemicals” in popular bottled water brands, and the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence as it displaces white-collar jobs and pushes universal basic income into the political mainstream. Finally, a deeply personal and powerful conversation about medical freedom at its most fundamental level — blood — as Del recounts his own near-fatal medical emergency and the extraordinary effort required to secure a transfusion aligned with informed consent, while families share how the right to directed blood donations saved their children’s lives and how that right is now under threat.

    Jan 9 2026
    A historic shift is underway. Del opens with CDC’s unprecedented move to slash the routine childhood vaccine schedule nearly in half, aligning the U.S. with the Denmark model. What prompted this change and what does it mean for families nationwide?

    Then, Jefferey Jaxen reports on HHS flipping the food pyramid, signaling a monumental reset in nutrition policy. He also investigates the escalating glyphosate battle, as liability protections for pesticide companies collapse in Congress—while the Supreme Court and the Trump administration loom large.
