Own Your Freedom

After years of pressure and the threat of discharge, Air Force Major Brennan “Skip” Schilperoort has been vindicated in his stand for religious freedom.

In this powerful episode ofThe Feds, Stephanie sits down with Skip, an officer who refused a flu shot on religious and medical grounds, Skip’s wife Maggie, and his attorney R. Davis Younts. Skip has been embroiled in a five-year battle against government retaliation that put his career, family, and faith to the test.

👉 We discuss the inside details of Skip’s near-discharge from the Air Force, how his family endured years of uncertainty, stress, and financial hardship, and explore the internal battles within the Pentagon over vaccine policies and religious accommodations. Is there a deep sense of betrayal on the part of service members towards their leadership? What can make it right? What does this landmark decision mean for others still facing discharge over the flu shot?

There is a real cost of standing on principle—and the importance of protecting individual liberty in the military and beyond.

Are current American food policies truly protecting public health, or are they putting it at risk?

In this week’s episode ofThe Feds, Stephanie speaks with Zen Honeycutt, the founder of Moms Across America, a national movement dedicated to educating families about toxins in the food supply and advocating for healthier agricultural practices. 

After witnessing her own children’s health improve dramatically when they switched to organic foods, Zen launched a nationwide effort to test everyday products and raise awareness about the presence of glyphosate, pesticides, and other chemical residues in food. 

Zen discusses the widespread use of glyphosate in American agriculture, shares testing results revealing concerning levels of these substances in popular items such as cereals, baby formula, Girl Scout cookies, and even military food, and examines the roles of the EPA and FDA in regulating food safety. 

The conversation also addresses concerns regarding the Farm Bill and the President’s recent Executive Order, and the growing demand amongst many Americans for greater transparency about what is actually in their food. 

Zen offers practical steps that families can take to reduce their exposure to toxins and support healthier farming methods.

On this week’s episode ofThe Feds, Stephanie speaks with Hilda Labrada-Gore, host of the Wise Traditions podcast and an integrative health coach whose show has reached over 16 million downloads worldwide. Together they unpack the intersection of health policy, federal authority, and the role of the individual in the American way of life.

The conversation dives into the recent flipping of thefood pyramid, the efforts of the administration to shield pesticide companies from liability, and the ever-growing movement towards ancestral nutrition and a whole-food lifestyle.

Hilda shares principles of the Weston A. Price Foundation and habits for endless energy. She dives into the importance of sunlight for human beings, and why the fear and caution of the sun instilled in today’s Americans may not be good or true. 

Hilda discusses the standard American diet that is overwhelmingly made up of“dead foods,” and encourages the listener to move away from these and towards food that is alive (ferments).

Be sure to listen till the end to hear Hilda’s thoughts on what the long game truly is!

In this powerful episode, Olivia Degenkolb, retired Navy Commander, andMike Gary,Army Officer pursuing reinstatement, join Stephanie Weidle to dive into the ongoing push for justice following the COVID-19 vaccine mandates, spotlighting recent developments that signal a shift toward accountability. 

🔥Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has boldly declared that the previous administration's COVID-19 mandates for civilians were “unconstitutional,un-American,and a gross violation of personal freedom,” as she oversaw the reinstatement of 56 Coast Guard members who were discharged for refusing the vaccine—now welcomed back with full back pay in a major victory for service members' rights. This is the first high-level government official to admit this for those outside of the military. In April, 2025, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth acknowledged the unlawfulness of the COVID-19 military mandate.

✅We explore the broader harms inflicted on civilian federal employees, including claims of religious discrimination, unfair masking and testing policies, and the lingering battles through ongoing Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) cases. 

The discussion also covers the Department ofWar’s COVID-19 After Action Review process and highlights Mike Gary's lawsuit against the Army, underscoring persistent efforts to address these injustices. 

🎯Acknowledgment is the first step. Accountability must follow. Join us as we examine these steps toward redress and what they mean for freedom, faith, and the future of public service.

The toothpaste is out of the tube. 

In this explosive episode of The Feds, Stephanie Weidle sits down with Ivan Raiklin to break down:

• COVID accountability and transparency
• The Epstein file controversy
• 2020 election investigations
• January 6 narrative disputes
• Internal power struggles within Washington
• The Religious Liberty Commission fallout

Is accountability coming — or being blocked? Are both parties protecting powerful interests? How are we seeing “America First” v. “America Second” played out?  Who is running DC…really? 

Who is actually pushing for transparency within DC? How are they being undermined? 

What can everyday Americans do?

Modern medicine treats symptoms. Dr. Jingduan “J.D.” Yangsays it’s ignoring the whole human being.

In this week’s conversation, we break down how to Make America Health Again with theA.C.E.S. model— Anatomy, Chemistry, Energy, and Soul — and why America’s “healthcare system” isn’t designed to make you healthy at all.

Is medical insurance really just “sick care”? Why are drugs and procedures covered — but nutrition, lifestyle, and prevention aren’t? Are we fixing the car while ignoring the driver?

Dr. Yang challenges the entire framework of Western medicine and calls for a return to personal responsibility, spiritual health, and true whole-person care.

If you think the system is broken — this episode explains why.

Dr. Jingduan Yang is an author, medical practitioner, neurologist, and board certified psychiatrist.

The mandates may be over — but the punishment isn’t.

🔥Constitutional attorney Davis Younts and U.S. Air Force Major Kim Bitter join Stephanie Weidle to expose why the military is still breaking the law when it comes to vaccine religious exemptions — even years after Covid injunctions and court rulings.

From blanket exemption denials and career-ending retaliation to flu shot mandates targeting Covid dissenters, this episode reveals a military leadership that refuses accountability and continues punishing service members for exercising their rights.

Thousands of New York City workers were fired for refusing the Covid vaccine — and years later, many are still locked out of their careers.

In this revealing episode, Stephanie Weidle speaks with Michael Kane, Director of Advocacy for Children’s Health Defense and founder of Teachers for Choice, and Matt Connor, an NYC firefighter and founder of Bravest for Choice, about the false promises of reinstatement made by the Eric Adams administration and why meaningful justice has stalled.

💥They break down how the mayor’s office announced a “return to work” policy that never materialized, how unions failed to protect their members, and how bureaucratic roadblocks at the Civil Service Commission quietly froze real accountability.

The conversation also connects NYC’s mandate fallout to broader national patterns — including ongoing military discharges over flu shots, false perceptions that wrongs have been righted, and why medical coercion continues long after emergency powers expire.

 A new nationwide coalition is forming to stop medical mandates before they ever happen again — and it’s starting at the state level.

In this week’s episode, Stephanie Weidle is joined by Leslie Manookian, President and Founder of the Health Freedom Defense Fund, and Leah Wilson, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Stand for Health Freedom, to discuss the launch of the Medical Freedom Act (MFA) Coalition — a coalition of over a dozen national organizations working to introduce medical freedom legislation in every U.S. state. 

They break down how Idaho became the first major win, why states must lead the fight (instead of waiting for federal action), and how citizens — including parents and everyday Americans — can influence lawmakers and help push these bills forward.

🔥 Topics include:

• The Medical Freedom Act Coalition and why it was created

• Why the state level is the key battlefield after Covid

• How legislators dodge accountability — and how citizens change that

• The growing alliance of states rejecting federal “guidance”

• What medical freedom protections should include

• How individuals can take action locally to support the movement

This is a roadmap for restoring bodily autonomy, informed consent, and constitutional limits on government power — state by state.

🇺🇸 One question. Massive consequences.

In this new Feds episode, Stephanie Weidle sits down with retired Vice Admiral William “Dean” Lee, currently on the Board of Advisors for STARRS, to address one critical question the military establishment must consider: Should vaccines be required for U.S. military personnel?

💥 They examine the real-world fallout of recent mandate policies — including devastated careers, fractured morale, eroded trust in leadership, and lasting damage to military readiness. The conversation explores the difficult balance between national security, individual rights, informed consent, and institutional accountability — and why the lessons from the last four years must not be ignored if we want a strong military and country.

👉 A must-listen for anyone concerned about protecting service members and preventing government overreach. 

Vice Admiral William “Dean” Lee entered the U.S. Coast Guard in 1981 and retired in 2016 after serving nearly 36 years as a commissioned officer in various assignments along the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf Coasts.  He concluded his career as Commander, Atlantic Area, serving as the operational commander for a force of 21,000 active personnel conducting all U.S. Coast Guard missions from the Rocky Mountains to the Arabian Gulf, spanning across five Coast Guard Districts and 40 states.

Vice Admiral Lee is currently a senior fellow at the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk VA.   

As a private consultant who specializes in Corporate Leadership Development, he routinely speaks at seminars on the topics of leadership, ethics, and character development.  He is on the Board of Directors for Safe Boat International, the Board of Advisors for STARRS.US, and was recently selected by the Heritage Foundation as a member of their Military Advisory Panel.   

Vice Admiral Lee’s most passionate and self-satisfying work is as a board member with HARP, a non-profit program designed to help victims recover from the ravages of drug addiction brought on by the current OPIOD/Fentanyl epidemic.  He generally spends one day per week in jail working with incarcerated addicts.
