- BREAKING: Former CDC Director Robert Redfield Slams Biden-Era Military COVID Vaccine Mandates as Having “No Scientific Justification”
This week on Straight to the Point, I sat down with former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield and Brianne Dressen — a vaccine injury advocate who was a clinical trial volunteer that developed lifelong neuropathy within one hour of taking the COVID-19 vaccine.
Redfield exclusively reveals that he believes the Biden-era military mandates had “no scientific justification” while noting the government’s reluctance to acknowledge harms, especially among young service members with strong immune systems. Dressen discusses the disproportionate toll the vaccine took on young service members, including @StancikKaroline who we previously interviewed. This wide ranging interview digs deep on the vaccine fallout for our nation's service members.

- Description
- It turns out you can burn down a neighborhood and not destroy a community. The one great silver lining to these fires in Los Angeles is that survivors are transcending the physical ties. No matter how much has been destroyed or how far people have been scattered, relationships between neighbors have become deeper. We’ve seen evidence of this all across L.A., in the Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena, and so we will head back to one neighborhood -- one street -- that’s a pretty good example of that bond: West Poppyfields Drive in Altadena.
GUESTS: Altadena residents Whitney Haggins, John Hall, Pat and Kate Gray, Sandra and Donald Estes, and Shelley Thai.

- Four House Republicans joined Democrats to pass a resolution for the first time that would limit President Trump's powers over the Iran War. The resolution is symbolically powerful, because it represents a growing divide between GOP lawmakers, especially those concerned about the war's effect on rising gas and food prices here at home.
Meanwhile, California's primary election results are still trickling in for the mayoral and gubernatorial races. Incumbent Karen Bass is advancing to the November general election, while Spencer Pratt is leading City Councilmember Nithya Raman in the L.A. mayor's race, though many mail-in ballots remain uncounted. In the governor's race, Republican Steve Hilton is leading and likely to face Democrat Xavier Becerra in the general election.

- Description
- Eighteen months after the Eaton and Palisades Fires, it's not gotten any easier for survivors. But there are good things happening. People are rebuilding. Survivors are making plans to return to these burned out communities — and it's not just one person at a time, but neighbors are coming back and rebuilding together. One street where that's happening is Poppyfields Drive in Altadena. Resident Whitney Haggins has been charging ahead on her rebuild since her home burned down in January 2025, and at least 6 of her neighbors are following in her footsteps. It may be not the typical but it is a story of optimism that these residents hope will rub off on more people throughout Altadena.

- The showdown for LA mayor is tighter than ever. New polling from UC Berkeley co-sponsored by the L.A. Times shows Karen Bass at 26%, City Council Member Nithya Raman at 25%, and former reality TV personality Spencer Pratt at 22%, meaning Bass has a statistically insignificant lead. Governor Gavin Newsom endorsed Bass, and she's secured support from major political groups. But Pratt's anti-establishment campaign is gaining traction.
Voters will also decide seven City Council seats, the City Attorney, Controller, three School Board spots, and ballot measures on hotel and cannabis taxes. On the county level, races include Sheriff, Board of Supervisors, a healthcare sales tax, and Superior Court judge positions.
If you plan to vote by mail in the California primary, it's not too late. You can drop your ballot at an official drop box, take it to a polling center by 8 p.m. on election day Tuesday, June 2, or mail it. But if you send it by mail, your ballot must be p...

- Nearly 300,000 fans are expected to descend on Los Angeles next month for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. But climate scientists are raising a serious concern: the tournament could generate more than 9 million tons of carbon dioxide, roughly double the average of the last four World Cups combined.
The numbers are stark. With 48 teams, 60% more games, and matches spread across 16 stadiums in three countries, millions of fans will board long-haul flights to follow their teams. LAX alone expects 290,000 visitors tied to the event, with about 40% arriving from outside the United States.
FIFA has pledged to cut its emissions in half by 2030, pointing to existing stadiums, public transit options, and food waste reduction as steps in the right direction. But climate advocates say those commitments fall short. Without hard limits on air travel, they argue, the environmental cost will far outweigh any gains.

Farrell says the intelligence agencies are “stonewalling” the release of information related to Judicial Watch’s February 2026 FOIA requests that followed our team's exclusive investigations with DEW attack survivors. Farrell argues their non-response, combined with years of reported gaslighting of injured government employees and civilians could reveal a coordinated effort to conceal the truth of directed energy weapon attacks – also known as Havana Syndrome or Anomalous Health Incidents (AHIs) - including questions about foreign technology and why some government personnel may ...

- Pope Leo has made artificial intelligence a central concern of his papacy, calling for it to be "disarmed" in his first encyclical. He says the word was deliberately chosen to awaken consciences and force a global reckoning with the risks AI poses to jobs, the climate, and human dignity.
Drawing a parallel to nuclear energy, he argues that powerful technologies must be governed by conscience and serve the common good. Decisions about technology, he says, cannot be separated from moral responsibility.
He chose his papal name in honor of Pope Leo XIII, the 19th-century pontiff who stood for workers' rights during the industrial revolution. The parallel to today's AI-driven economy is deliberate.
In this video, we break down what Pope Leo is actually calling for, why he sees AI as one of the defining issues of our time, and what it could mean for global tech regulation.
