Hour 1
Special Guest: Jonathan Emord
For the past 37 years, Jonathan W. Emord has litigated against the federal bureaucracy, winning over and over again. Ron Paul calls Jonathan “an expert in constitutional theory and history” and “an expert litigator with a long string of legal victories over the federal bureaucracy.” George Noory calls him “a Knight in Shining Armor” and “a warrior out to save our rights.” Congressmen Dan Burton and John Doolittle describe him as “an intellectual warrior for the rights and freedoms of people in America.” Jonathan has a unique, detailed knowledge of the federal bureaucracy, the deep state. He knows how to defeat it. Jonathan graduated from the University of Illinois (BA, political science and history, 1982) and DePaul University College of Law (JD, 1985). He served as an attorney in the Federal Communications Commission during the Reagan administration. A leading constitutional law and litigation expert, he is the author of five critically acclaimed books. He has won more cases against the Food and Drug Administration in federal court than any other attorney in American history, earning him the nickname “FDA Dragon Slayer.” He is a columnist for Townhall.com, PJ Media.com, Americangreatness.com, and the U.S.A. Today Magazine. He frequently appears on national radio and television programs. He is married to Sheryl Emord, and they have two children, twins Justice and Angelica. They
RFK Jr.’s new chronic disease agency faces a roadblock: Congress Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s flagship initiative to establish the Administration for a Healthy America (AHA)—a new chronic disease agency aimed at consolidating prevention programs and reducing NIH funding—has hit a legislative snag as Congress resists reallocating resources under the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) agenda. Kennedy proposes redirecting funds from existing prevention efforts, including mental health, substance use, and HIV/AIDS programs, into a unified agency focused on chronic disease reduction. While supporters argue that the overhaul would improve efficiency and accountability, lawmakers from both parties have expressed concern over the scale of disruption and lack of clarity on program continuity. Congress holds the power to authorize and appropriate funding, and early responses suggest lawmakers are wary of dismantling established agencies without detailed plans. The resistance highlights the political and logistical hurdles that await any sweeping health-policy transformation. If Congress declines to approve the reallocation, the AHA concept may stall, forcing HHS to maintain legacy structures or pursue gradual changes. The conflict underscores how systemic reform ambitions often collide with institutional inertia and budgetary oversight, potentially limiting the MAHA initiative’s impact despite executive enthusiasm.
GOP lawmaker flips script on Newsom, Bass by defining anti‑ICE riots with 1 word Republican Representative Darrell Issa issued a direct rebuke to California leaders amidst anti‑ICE riots in Los Angeles, accusing Democratic officials—including Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass—of minimizing violent protests as “peaceful.” Issa pointed to incidents of vandalism, assaults on ICE agents, and delays in law enforcement response, suggesting that official narratives misrepresented the severity of unrest. He underscored that, in contrast to Democrats’ frequent use of the term “insurrection” for January 6 events, the same label was conspicuously absent in this case—despite comparable violence. Issa also highlighted reports that ICE agents waited up to two hours for backup during the riots, a delay Newsom’s administration disputes. The criticism forms part of a broader conservative strategy to scrutinize media and political framing of civil disturbances, arguing that partisan language suppresses objective understanding of public safety threats and the root causes of lawlessness. As the debate over federal versus state responsibility continues, Issa’s remarks amplify accusations that political bias shapes official responses to violent civil actions.
Fearmongering Pundits Disappointed AGAIN As Consumer Prices Refuse To Surge On Trump Tariffs ZeroHedge reports that despite expectations of inflation spikes, recent Consumer Price Index data remains subdued—even as Trump-era tariffs take effect. Analysts across mainstream media had predicted impending price increases due to import taxes, but May’s CPI showed only modest inflation, with core goods remaining flat and some tariff-sensitive prices falling. The article argues that retailers are absorbing tariff costs through existing stock and muted consumer demand, limiting immediate pass-through effects. Pundits warning of an imminent inflation surge have been proven premature, says ZeroHedge, which portrays the CPI data as evidence against conventional economic forecasting. Though economists caution that tariff-induced inflation may emerge with a lag once inventory buffers deplete, the current trend suggests resilience in consumer prices. The article frames the muted inflation as vindication for conservative economic perspectives skeptical of tariff impact, amplifying claims that increased trade taxes may not translate into higher consumer costs.
L.A. Mayor Bass Claims ICE Raids to Blame for Riots, Looting Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles described a sharp shift from peace to chaos following federal ICE raids, asserting that the unrest—including riots, looting, and violence—was “provoked by the White House.” She claimed that everything remained calm until the weekend when ICE actions triggered the disorder, which she suggested could be part of “a national experiment” to test federal power over local control consciousness. In response, Bass implemented an emergency declaration and imposed a downtown curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., warning residents that the city had been left “in fear.” The National Guard and 700 Marines, authorized by President Trump, have been deployed under federal Title 10 authority alongside roughly 4,000 Guard troops. Critics from Los Angeles and Sacramento warned that the federal intervention risked inflaming tensions and undermining local governance. Meanwhile, clashes between protesters and law enforcement resulted in over 350 arrests and significant property damage. Bass and other officials reflected a growing mistrust of federal tactics and called for a restored balance of power, asking whether Los Angeles is being turned into a case study in federal overreach. The situation remains tense amid curfews, ongoing arrests, and the continuing debate over sanctuary city policies and federal authority.
Nancy Pelosi Claims L.A. Riot Violence Due to ‘Exuberance of the Moment’ Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi downplayed the severity of recent violence and looting during riots in Los Angeles by attributing the incidents to an “exuberance of the moment.” She contextualized the events as spontaneous emotional outbursts rather than strategic or politically motivated actions, characterizing them as akin to “the exuberance” seen in past public demonstrations. Pelosi also suggested anarchists were involved, indicating that extremist opportunists may have stepped in alongside otherwise peaceful protesters. Her remarks drew swift backlash for appearing to minimize the destructive nature of the riots; critics accused her of being dismissive and tone-deaf to those suffering from property loss and community disruption. Supporters of tougher law enforcement actions seized upon her comments as evidence of elite complacency and double standards around violent protest narratives. Pelosi’s remarks have reignited tensions around how public officials interpret protest behavior, escalating the debate over whether the unrest requires serious intervention or is a transient, emotionally fueled eruption. The reaction underscores the deep polarization around protest rhetoric and the challenge of balancing empathy with accountability during a volatile moment in Los Angeles.
RFK Jr. Appoints Several Prominent Critics of COVID‑19 Vaccines to Key Committee After Firing Entire Advisory Panel Following the removal of all 17 members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. has appointed a new slate of eight members, including prominent critics of COVID-19 vaccines and lockdown policies. The designees include figures who have previously challenged mainstream pandemic narratives and expressed skepticism about mRNA shot mandates. Kennedy defended the appointments as part of his mission to eliminate conflicts of interest and introduce greater transparency, claiming the original committee was beholden to pharmaceutical industry influence. Critics argue the new board risks politicizing vaccine recommendations and undermining evidence-based public health. CBS News, NPR, and Stat News note that some appointees lack formal vaccine expertise and have histories of opposing conventional immunization policy. The shake-up signals a broader reorientation of federal vaccine oversight, emphasizing caution and safety over traditional reliance on established scientific consensus. The changes are poised to reshape national vaccine policy advisories amid ongoing debates about public health, individual rights, and institutional authority.
Hour 2
Your Complete Guide to Detoxing Heavy Metals Naturally and Boosting Vitality While the full article was inaccessible, supporting sources strongly suggest a detailed protocol to naturally detoxify the body from heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic—common in contaminated water, soil, and food—while enhancing overall vitality through holistic measures. The guide highlights the importance of nourishing detox organs—liver, kidneys, gut, skin, and cellular pathways—through a three-phase approach: preparation, active chelation, and nutrient repletion. Key dietary recommendations include antioxidants and metal-binding foods such as leafy greens (spinach, kale), cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower), garlic, cilantro, spirulina, chlorella, nuts, legumes, and seeds to support detox and antioxidant pathways. Magnesium is emphasized for its roles in glutathione production, metal chelation, inflammation reduction, and cellular energy. Lifestyle therapies like infrared sauna sessions are advocated to induce sweating and facilitate the excretion of metals through the skin. The guide also presents oral chelation protocols—using agents like EDTA under supervision—as well as natural binders such as chlorella and cilantro. It warns of potential symptoms related to buildup, including fatigue, mental fog, digestive disturbance, mood swings, headaches, cramps, and sleep issues. Because detox processes can shift metals and minerals in the body, professional oversight through blood, urinary, and hair testing is urged to track progress and prevent complications like mineral depletion or organ strain. By combining targeted nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and expert guidance, the protocol aims to enhance detox capacity, restore metabolic balance, and support long-term health and resilience through thoughtful, evidence-informed practices.
Kennedy Calls CNN’s Bluff on Placebo‑Controlled Vaccine Safety Trials Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in his role as Health and Human Services Secretary, pressed back against a CNN claim that he was wrong about the lack of inert placebo controls in routine vaccine approvals. In a detailed rebuttal, Kennedy dissected the 257 trials CNN cited, showing that 236 of them employed active comparators such as aluminum adjuvants, antibiotics, or other vaccines—not true saline placebos. Among the remaining 21, none were used in pre‑licensure studies for injected childhood vaccines licensed in the U.S. He emphasized that no inert placebo tests were used to license current childhood vaccines, underscoring a bigger issue: safety signals may be obscured when vaccines are compared to other active ingredients. Kennedy’s critique extended beyond semantics—he argued that the use of non-inert comparators before FDA approval compromises transparency and safety assessment. His team’s analysis led CNN to reaffirm his point: none of the cited trials were true placebo-controlled licensing studies. Critics, however, including experts quoted in NPR and Reuters, warn that requiring new vaccines to undergo placebo trials could delay public access, be ethically problematic—particularly for updates to existing vaccines—and disappoint families who donated to earlier research efforts. Kennedy framed the change as a moral imperative to protect children and rebuild trust in vaccine safety. He plans to incorporate this standard into the newly reformed Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, intending to demand higher scientific rigor moving forward.
Special Guest: James Lyons-Weiler
James “Jack” Lyons-Weiler, PhD is a Pittsburgh-area scientist, lecturer, and author, who has worked collaboratively for over twenty years on over one hundred research studies. After conducting research in Amazonia on prehistorical shifts in climate change, he focused on questions of how to best understand evolutionary biology, and to questions on the origins of biological diversity. Thanks to a Sloan Foundation fellowship, he was then able to shift focus to biomedical problems in cancer, diabetes, heart disease, infectious disease and many other aspects of clinical, biomedical and translational research. To provide a lasting monument to his mother, and to help others share advances in cancer research, he served as the Founding Editor-in-Chief of the open access, peer-reviewed research journal Cancer Informatics (Libertas Academica). An expert in study design, complex data analysis, genetics and systems biology, he has written three books: “Ebola: An Evolving Story” (2015), “Cures vs. Profits: Successes in Translational Research” (2016), and “The Environmental and Genetic Causes of Autism” (2016). For “Causes”, he reviewed over 3,000 research studies, and he cited >2,000 in the final product. He is currently CEO/Director of The Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge, which conducts research without profit motive to “Reduce Human Pain and Suffering Through Knowledge.” A regular featured guest on many radio shows focused on public health, Dr. Lyons-Weiler has reached millions with his defense of science as a way of knowing. He sees the public’s current widespread distrust in science as misplaced, because individual scientists and corporations should be held accountable when they mislead the public for profit motives, not the entire enterprise of science.
Question of The Day!
Thank you so much for your answer to my question yesterday! Yes I am in Canada and have ordered UNDA 1 to help with the detox process.
In reading up on the drainage principles after listening to your show I noticed that multiple sites mentioned that having parasites can cause frequent cold and flus and also issues with liver congestion. His tummy has gotten quite round over the past 6 months and in the fall he had a bad case of diarrhea and tummy aches so I’m thinking parasites might me the issue. What would you suggest for a parasite cleanse for kids (age 8)?
Thanks,
Hedy
