As the Trump administration pushes toward next-generation wireless infrastructure, we examine claims about weak RF safety standards, industry influence, and growing concern over long-term exposure. It also breaks down the latest on paraquat lawsuits, the EPA debate, and controversial Farm Bill pesticide provisions that critics say could limit legal accountability for chemical manufacturers. Host Del Bigtree sits down with Dr. Stuart Fischbein for an in-studio conversation on natural birth, home birth, VBACs, and the medicalization of childbirth, exploring how families can think differently about pregnancy, birth, and informed decision-making.
