Own Your Freedom

This week on The Feds, we welcome Sam Shoemate, retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer and Intelligence Officer, renowned for advocating military accountability and supporting whistleblowers. We discuss the reasons behind and implications of the recent investigation into U.S. Navy Commander Rob Green. Why now? Sam also examines whether there will be arrests—or any accountability—for the alleged treasonous acts of former President Obama, as outlined in a recent report by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Finally, we explore how Americans can drive change locally and rebuild trust, given the federal government's critical need for reform.

Sam Shoemate is the COO of Our Country Our Choice (OCOC).

This week, Sky Shook joins The Feds to discuss Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses that have caused much harm to the American population. Sky is a health consultant and strategist who has supported the healing efforts of patients with vector borne diseases, including Lyme disease, for more than two decades. He supports through advocacy, education, medical practice management and lobbying at the state and federal level.

In this episode, we discuss why Sky started researching Lyme, and what he found helpful for his own wife who was struggling with a cascade of symptoms. Sky discusses that early treatment is the best, and for those who have chronic Lyme, it is important to look not just at the tick as the cause of illness, but at other toxins as contributors. We discuss the role of the government in tick-borne illnesses and the radical government transparency that is needed for a better understanding.

Although not covered in this discussion, an important consideration with respect to tick-borne illness and our health generally may be the presence of parasites. There are many resources available to learn more about the need to address parasitic infection, which is frequently indicated in patients with difficult cases of tick-borne disease.

State Department law enforcement officer Mark Pemberton joins The Feds this week, detailing the retaliation he has experienced over the past five years. In 2020, Mark refused to sign a statement agreeing to follow CDC guidance outside of work hours. In addition, citing the information given in the package insert, Mark also refused to take the provided COVID-19 tests. For that, in conjunction with the accusation that Mark was a white extremist due to his statement that he wanted to get married and have a family, Mark was labeled an “insider threat.”

Five years later, his superiors are currently considering a 6-day suspension for Mark due to his declination of the COVID-19 testing.

The government-wide weaponization of disciplinary and administrative processes must be addressed in this current Trump administration. Specifically in Mark’s case, the State Department’s Office of Special Investigations has a terrible reputation for using abusive administrative and disciplinary techniques for issues that should have resulted in an investigation, not in disciplinary action. Those who refused the COVID protocols, pushing back against the mandates, are still experiencing this weaponization firsthand.

This week on The Feds, Brad Dacus, attorney and founder of the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), gives a reading on the pulse of religious liberty in the United States.

This week, Brad explores the state of US religious freedoms, discussing pressing issues like vaccine mandates and the clash between Big Pharma and religious communities. From denied exemptions in the military, to subtle forms of persecution, we discuss how Americans are navigating threats to their religious liberties. Brad gives insight on the Religious Freedom Commission (est. 2025), the cultural acceptance of President Trump’s DEI purge, the erosion of freedoms, and what it means for the soul of our nation.

Brad Dacus earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Texas School of Law. With a fervent dedication to constitutional rights, Brad founded the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) in 1997. PJI has since grown into one of the largest Christian non-profit organizations, offering legal—free of charge—services to defend faith and family. He also hosts, “Brad Dacus Live”; which can be watched Monday through Thursday on Hischannel.com, and is a regular voice on the “Dacus Report.” Brad delivers a succinct legal commentary, “The Legal Edge,” which is broadcasted on more than 800 radio stations weekly.

Kelly Ryerson, known on social media as “Glyphosate Girl,” joins The Feds this week to discuss pesticide toxicity and the pending pesticide company liability shield bills in state and federal legislatures.

Do you know what chemicals are in or on your produce? Why are pesticide companies seeking the passage of liability shield legislation? What is to gain by creating glyphosate-resistant plants? Does the recent MAHA Commission Report address pesticide toxicity? What pesticides are even worse than glyphosate? These are all questions we discuss this week.

Kelly Ryerson works at the intersection of agriculture and health. She regularly collaborates with regenerative farmers, scientists, policymakers and media to address agrochemical damage to our soil and bodies. Kelly is the co-Executive Director of American Regeneration and also founded the news site Glyphosate Facts. Kelly has contributed to numerous podcasts, publications, and documentaries including the recent award winning documentary Common Ground. She is an Ambassador for The Rodale Institute. Kelly has a BA from Dartmouth College, an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and completed training in integrative health coaching at Duke Integrative Medicine.

Dozens of military service members are currently being discharged after they declined the flu shot, citing medical, religious, and Constitutional reasons. They have been discriminated against, put on leave without pay, and ordered before military discharge boards.

This week, The Feds hosts four military service members who are currently facing discharge:

Brennan Schilperoort “Skip”, Major, US Air Force Air Mobility Command

Chris Babscak, Technical Sergeant, Arkansas Air National Guard

Kim Bitter, Major, Nurse in the US Air Force Reserve

Tony Oslin, Technical Sergeant, Air Force National Guard

In this episode, we discuss how the flu shot requirement is inherently discriminatory, the fact that these harms are still continuing under the second Trump administration, how the wrongs can be righted and how to avoid unconstitutional actions like these in the future.

An update to the DoD policy on flu shots states that the flu shot will only be given to “Service members” when it “most directly contributes to readiness”. As of May 29, 2025, the regulations have been updated to change the specifications for who is required to get a flu shot and who is not, but the actions to sever members from military service for exercising their rights to refuse an injection continue.

Paul Thomas, MD, well-known retired pediatrician, joins The Feds this week to shed light on the corruption within the medical system that attempted to strip him of his ability to provide informed consent. After witnessing healthy children become autistic within his own practice, he began studying the vaccinations he offered. He published The Vaccine Friendly Plan, providing informed consent for his readers and suggesting an alternative vaccination plan. The Oregon Medical Board then asked him to prove his plan was safer and more effective than the CDC schedule. He responded by hiring outside analysts and conducting a vaxxed-unvaxxed study within his own practice. After his findings, and during COVID, the medical board stripped him of his license.

This week, we hear his story, including an update regarding his lawsuit, discuss waning immunity in the middle-aged population, chat about the recent measles cases, and talk about his new book, Vax Facts: What to Consider before Vaccinating at All Ages and Stages of Life. We also hear what Dr. Paul has been doing alternatively to treat his recently diagnosed cancer.

Dr. Paul is the host of Good Morning CHD - Pediatric Perspectives and founder & host of With The Wind: Science Revealed. He is the co-founder of KidsFirst4Ever.com.

Visit KidsFirst4Ever.com and watch a presentation on the vaxxed-unvaxxed data.

Nicholas Berry, Senior Counsel with America First Legal, joins The Feds this week to address a new legal challenge to a 40 year old Carter-era policy. American First Legal is representing Feds For Freedom and American Moment. The Luevano consent decree ended and prohibited the government’s use of a standard, merit-based aptitude test to enter federal service. We discuss the implications this policy has had on the American public and the federal government, and also discuss other affirmative action cases that are currently in the courts.
