    143. New Administration, Same Playbook | Rob Malone, Steve Baker, Emily Kopp, Ivan Raiklin | The Feds

    Four people who spent the COVID years being silenced sat down to talk about accountability. All four described the same tactics — still running, under a different administration. In this panel from the 2026 F4F National Security Beyond the Headlines Summit, co-founderJim Erdman moderates journalist Steve Baker, constitutional attorneyIvan Raiklin, physician-scientist Dr. Robert Malone, and investigative reporterEmily Kopp. Dr. Malone, who served as vice chair of the ACIP, describes what he saw inside HHS and why he concluded the problem is structural rather than partisan. Emily Kopp explains why the corporate press and the permanent bureaucracy protect each other. Steve Baker describes what happens to a reporter who won't drop a story. Ivan Raiklin lays out which levers are still available. We discuss:  👉 Why political appointees don't actually run their agencies  👉 What happened at the ACIP, from someone who was in the room  👉 The COVID origins documents and the whistleblower who surfaced them  👉 Why administrations turn over but bureaucrats never do  👉 Whether the reform movement has started censoring itself  👉 The congressional powers nobody is using Chapters:  00:00 — Introduction  01:45 — Framing: Accountability as a Multivariable Problem 03:55 — Steve Baker: The Calls to Get Him Fired 09:27 — Ivan Raiklin: Transparency Before Accountability 14:44 — Robert Malone: ACIP, HHS, and Why It's Systemic 26:59 — Emily Kopp: COVID Origins and the Managerial State 33:58 — What Stops Populist Movements From Delivering 43:25 — The Press as Enforcement Mechanism 1:04:47 — Congressional Levers and Inherent Contempt 1:10:48 — Why the Visionaries Get Pushed Out 1:15:24 — Who's Actually Running This? >> If the same thing happens no matter who wins, what exactly are we voting for?

    142: Who Chooses the Blood You Get? | Liz James | The Feds

    1 in 70 Americans will need a blood transfusion this year. Almost none of them know they most likely can't choose the donor. In this episode, Stephanie Weidle speaks withLiz James, a pharmacist of over thirty years and founder of Blessed by His Blood, a member-owned cooperative that matches direct blood donations to patients who want to choose whose blood they receive. The conversation explores how three separate parties — your doctor, your hospital, and the blood bank holding their contract — each have to say yes before you can receive a directed donation, and how any one of them can quietly say no. If three people have to approve before you can choose your own donor, who is the system actually built for? We discuss:  👉 Why doctors often don’t know how to write the order  👉 What happens to blood after you give it away for free  👉 Why only 3% of Americans donate, and the number is falling  👉 The Texas bill that died twice one step from the finish line  Chapters: 01:29 — How Direct Donation Works, and Who's Blocking It07:18 — Why People Ask for Direct Donor Blood11:05 — Screening Questions and Shelf Life14:48 — Only 3% Donate: The Supply Problem17:01 — The $32 Billion Blood Industry23:51 — Bodily Autonomy and Informed Consent26:38 — Liz's Story: Leaving Pharmacy, Founding BBHBLearn more or become a member:https://www.blessedbyhisblood.com Follow Blessed by His Blood: X,Facebook —— 🎧 Listen to The Feds onSubstack & all other platforms: https://taplink.cc/fedsforfreedom 🇺🇸 Visit our Website: FedsForFreedom.org  🏃 Follow us on Instagram /X /Facebook:  @feds4freedomusa

    141. They Want a 185-Foot Tower in Her Backyard | Vicky Hu & Theresa Ghiorzi | The Feds

    They told her a 185-foot tower was going in her backyard — after the school next door refused to host it. In this episode, Stephanie Weidle speaks withVicki Hu, a Loudoun County homeowner fighting to keep her property, and Teresa Ghiorzi, a software engineer and community advocate, about the eminent domain fight behind Northern Virginia's data center boom. The conversation explores how transmission lines built to power private data centers get classified as "public use," why Loudoun approved hundreds of data centers with no plan to power them, and what happens to a homeowner who says no.

    140. Politics Won’t Save Us | Shane Krauser| The Feds

    Can a culture that has forgotten freedom learn to choose it again? In this episode recorded at FreedomFest 2026,Stephanie Weidle speaks with Shane Krauser, attorney, author, educator, and full-time freedom advocate, about why America's crisis runs deeper than politics — it's cultural. The conversation explores how people have to want freedom, why law schools often teach case law instead of the Constitution's original meaning, and why citizens need to learn how to talk to people who disagree with them. We also discuss: Politics as downstream from cultureWhat freedom actually means, and why it must be chosen Why debate should build allies, not enemiesHow education shapes whether a people stay free Can America rebuild a culture that chooses freedom again?

    138. Dear Diary: In Fauci’s Words | Jeffrey Tucker | The Feds

    The Fauci Diaries have been released—and beyond raising the question of why an 80-year-old man would keep a “diary,” let alone write it on a government device, they prompt further questions about what was really happening during COVID. In this episode,Stephanie Weidle speaks with author and Brownstone Institute president Jeffrey Tucker about the newly released Fauci Diaries, the ongoing COVID accountability battle, and the deeper institutional failures that shaped America’s response to the pandemic. 👀 The conversation explores what the diaries may reveal about Anthony Fauci’s role in the COVID response, the unresolved questions surroundinggain-of-function research, and the broader network of public health, intelligence, and government officials involved in shaping the official narrative. Stephanie and Jeffrey discuss why so many Americans now believe “everything is a scam,” how trust in leadership collapsed during the COVID years and even till now, and why the country has still not seen the level of transparency or accountability that was promised. Topics include: 👉 The Fauci Diaries and Senator Rand Paul’s investigation 👉 Gain-of-function research and lack of oversight  👉 Questions involving HHS, DOD, and intelligence officials 👉 What key figures still have not been questioned   👉 Vaccine mandates and the trauma of government overreach  👉 Public distrust in institutions and leadership  👉 The missing COVID reckoning  👉 MAGA, MAHA, and the demand for transparency   This episode asks a difficult but necessary question: What happens to a society when the people no longer trust their leaders?

    137. You Are the Power: Eminent Domain and Parental Rights | Spike Cohen | The Feds

    In this episode ofThe Feds, recorded at FreedomFest 2026, we are joined by Spike Cohen, founder and president ofYou Are the Power, to discuss how citizens can fight government overreach at the state and local level. 🔥 Spike explains that while Feds For Freedom focuses on protecting Americans from federal overreach from inside the system, You Are the Power works from the outside — taking on local and state abuses involving Child Protective Services, eminent domain, free speech violations, wrongful charges, and property rights.  The conversation explores howgovernment incentives can distort justice, including concerns around CPS cases where families are wrongfully accused, children are removed from homes, and parents are forced into civil administrative systems instead of criminal courts. Spike also discusseseminent domain and how a power originally intended for limited public use has expanded into the taking of homes, farms, and businesses for projects like highways, tech parks, and data centers.  🎯This episode is a powerful reminder that freedom is not passive. Whether the threat comes from Washington D.C., a state agency, or your local city council, citizens have the power to organize, speak up, and win.
