    FF: No Family Should Have to Cross an Ocean to Save Their Child with Kendra Riley

    Kendra Riley's two daughters were diagnosed with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare terminal genetic disorder. With no FDA-approved treatment available in the U.S., Kendra's family had to raise nearly half a million dollars and relocate to Italy so their youngest daughter could receive a life-saving gene therapy. While that treatment succeeded, their older daughter's disease had progressed too far — she is now in hospice care at age eight. Kendra joins Finding Freedom to advocate for Right to Try 2.0, federal legislation that would give rare disease patients access to individualized gene-based therapies at home without crossing an ocean. She also shares advice for families navigating rare disease diagnoses and resources that can help along the way.

    TLPP: What Killed Late Night Comedy?

    Recorded live at FreedomFest 2026 in Las Vegas. Lou Perez moderates a panel on politics, comedy, and the death of late night TV. Panelists: comedian Boris Khaykin, comedian and podcaster Andrew Heaton, Georgetown law professor and author Randy Barnett, Consumer Choice Center head of media Stephen Kent, and comedian Peter Stewart. Topics include: why Colbert was losing $20 million a year and what that tells you about the economics of late night; the no-monoculture problem — Joe Rogan now outperforms Fox News; how going political gave Colbert a short-term ratings boost and gutted the comedy long-term; the Daily Show's original rule (cut anything designed to get applause, not laughs) and how every show that copied it forgot the rule; the math of splitting one sixth of a dying market; whether Trump actually pressured CBS to cancel Colbert (the FCC and Kimmel story is more interesting); Kill Tony, YouTube, and the new formats replacing late night; the democratization of comedy and what AI tools mean for talent in Nebraska; why writing 252 episodes a year is an impossible creative ask; what it's like to be on Gutfeld! and whether he's actually the new Johnny Carson; and what's still off-limits in comedy.

    FF: Watched from the Cradle to the Cubicle

    While most Americans are rightly concerned about government surveillance — license plate readers, Flock cameras, the deep state — a quieter and more intimate surveillance culture has taken root at home and at work. Employers are deploying AI to scan employee Slack messages, monitor productivity keystroke by keystroke, and flag tone and sentiment across billions of internal messages. At the same time, parents are tracking their teenagers' every move through apps like Life360 and Apple's Find My, often without stopping to ask whether they're solving a real threat or just following social pressure. Host John Odermatt argues that we've begun replacing trust with tracking — and the most unsettling part is that most people don't realize they're actively participating in building that culture. This episode is a call to examine your own role in the surveillance ecosystem, take ownership of your choices, and start having the harder, more honest conversations that actually build trust. Video Chapters 0:00 – Intro: The Surveillance We're Not Talking About 1:03 – Welcome & Solo Show Setup 1:34 – Government Surveillance vs. Private Surveillance 4:48 – Salesforce, Slack, and AI Monitoring at Work 8:36 – Revisiting the David Deane Interview: AI as a Mirror? 9:40 – Family Surveillance: Life360, Find My & Tracking Your Kids 10:37 – The Research: What Constant Tracking Does to Teenagers 16:57 – Flock Cameras & the Government Surveillance Fight 20:19 – The Collapse of Trust: Edelman Trust Barometer Data 22:01 – What You Can Actually Do About It Schedule a 15 minute Gut Health Audit with John: https://calendar.app.google/B9fcGdSFjC5caTVu5 SUPPORT LIONS OF LIBERTY: Help keep this podcast going!

    TBNS: Fauci Pled The Fifth 111 Times, RFK Torched CNN, & Rand Paul Was RIGHT

    The Fauci diaries are public - 1,141 pages of them. He pled the Fifth 111 times. RFK Jr. torched CNN's pandemic narrative to Dana Bash's face. And they still want a pandemic amnesty... so today, we open the vault.Because I didn't start covering this last week. I have four years of tape.Inside the diaries: the fatality rate he kept private while telling Congress 3%. "I didn't close the schools" - under oath - while claiming credit behind the scenes. Six months of entries... just gone. And the lab leak call HE convened, then cited at the White House podium like he'd never seen it.Then the receipts. 2021: Trent Ortner and I said Rand Paul was right about Wuhan funding while the media called it conspiracy. 2022: Jeffrey Tucker (Brownstone Institute) and I did the autopsy the day Fauci announced his resignation. And my full answer to Emily Oster's "pandemic amnesty" pitch in The Atlantic.We said it then. The data said it then. They lied. And now they want amnesty.
