  • 77. An EEOC Covid-19 lawsuit WIN | Holly Felmlee | The Feds

    This week on The Feds, Holly Felmlee joins us again to discuss her recent Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) lawsuit win.

    Holly Felmlee was a financial analyst for the Department of Defense Education Activities (DODEA), who worked in Japan and Belgium during the Covid years. Based on her vaccination status, she was unwillingly put on AWOL status and fired, re-hired, and fired again within a 4-day period. Holly filed an EEOC complaint and sued the Department of Defense (DOD) . We discuss what her recent win means, the extensive waste and abuse she saw as a financial analyst, and the abuse within DODEA schools.

    As of March 11, Holly and the Department of Defense are still discussing the terms of her reinstatement. The DOD attempted to bring Holly back as a GS-9, but the job is now promoted to a GS-11 and there is resulting confusion with her back pay terms. As of now, Holly has not been reinstated or received back pay.

Virginia Medical Freedom Alliance, Feds For Freedom, and the Liberty University College Republicans are hosting this event on Saturday, April 5 from 8am to 5:30pm.

    76. DOGE, the Surveillance State, and the End to Social Isolation | Aaron Kheriaty, MD | The Feds

    Joining The Feds this week is Aaron Kheriaty, MD – psychiatrist, author, speaker, and Missouri v. Biden plaintiff. We begin by discussing DOGE and the role of artificial intelligence. We discuss REAL ID’s that are catapulting the United States further towards a surveillance state. Dr. Kheriaty details what can be done to reign in the intelligence agencies, who ultimately use the data from the surveillance systems. We discuss Missouri v. Biden, the censorship case of which the judge wrote that, if true, is “the worst free speech violation in the history of the United States.” We end with Dr. Kheriaty’s thoughts on social isolation and what measures the American public can take to end it.

  • 74. Breaking Barriers or Breaking Promises? The Military’s COVID Comeback Clash| Major Michael Gary | The Feds

    Major Michael Gary, CBRN specialist and former Maine National Guardsman, joins The Feds for a second time this week. Like many others, due to his refusal to take the COVID-19 experimental jab, Mike was reprimanded, discharged, and left to rebuild his life outside the uniform he once wore with pride.

    With the Harkins v. United States ruling in January, 2025, declaring COVID discharges unjust, and with President Trump's Executive Order mandating service members’ reinstatement, Major Gary expected the Guard to make things right. Instead, he found himself stonewalled by a leadership still unwilling to acknowledge the damage they had done. Calls have gone unanswered, paperwork has been lost, and those in charge have treated the reinstatement process as little more than an inconvenience.

    Mike is calling for all military service members who were served reprimands and disciplined over the COVID-19 jab mandates, to publish those letters and descriptions of disciplinary measures, so military commands have no choice but to address the specific cases.

  • 73. Healing After the Covid Fallout: What Now? | Kyle David, David and Jennifer Meece | The Feds

    Part 2 of 2: Healing from Covid Trauma



    This week on The Feds, we are joined again by David and Jennifer Meece along with Kyle David, a counselor affiliated with Mighty Oaks, who also works independently as a coach and speaker to help people heal from trauma.


    The Covid years have left many with a sense of injury, whether one has lost relationships, lost a job, been shamed, or been coerced- it’s all an injury. So, how do you start to heal? How do you get unstuck? Today, we discuss how to move beyond the injury and start the process of true healing. The manifestation of healing is when one can think about the past and not be bound or controlled by it.

  • 72. Military Betrayal Takes a Toll | Lt. Col. David and Jennifer Meece

    Part 1 of 2: Healing from Covid Trauma

    This week on

    The Feds
    we are joined by (Ret.) Lt. Col. David
    Meece and his wife Jennifer. David
    served in the Army and Air Force for a total of 33 years, first as enlisted, and later as an officer.
    David and Jennifer shed light on the
    challenges they faced due to the COVID-19 mandate, and discuss David’s decision to stand firm on his convictions and refuse the shots on moral, ethical, and legal grounds. The decision not only ended his career, but it took a significant emotional and spiritual
    toll. Their story is one of struggle, but also of courage and inspiration.

    In addition to his story, we discuss the role

    advocacy plays with military promotion, the betrayal many military servicemen have experienced due to the COVID-19 mandates, and the subsequent trauma they have suffered. 

    David is a father of nine and husband to Jennifer,

    founder of Ebenezer Therapy Services. He values dedication, service, and excellence. As a veteran having served in combat and command roles, David brings unique perspectives gained from those experiences to everyday life.

  • 71. Make Common Sense Real Again | The Feds

    In this post-inaugural episode of The Feds, we take the opportunity to hear from a few past guests regarding how the US Government systems can be dismantled and carefully pieced back together to ensure that the rights of all Americans are protected. 

    President Donald Trump has vowed to reinstate with back pay all military service members who were fired over refusing the Covid-19 shots. But what about fixing the root of the problem? Where’s the accountability? How can we make sure this doesn’t happen again? And what about the federal employees who faced the same discrimination and persecution?

    Alongside our podcast guests, Feds For Freedom is calling for common sense to return to the federal workforce in these capacities: 

    1. Senior military officials who broke the law should be called out of retirement, court-martialed, and stripped of their retirement benefits. 

    2. All US government officials who sought to coerce employees should be placed under investigation.

    3. Require all who swear an oath upholding the Constitution to receive Constitutional education.

    4. Inspectors General should be placed outside the agencies which they are assigned to investigate.

    5. Strengthen the whistleblower protections so that they actually protect the whistleblower, not the institution.

    6. Allow veterans who received vaccines as part of their military requirements and were disabled to claim vaccination as a Toxic Risk Exposure Activity to qualify for VA disability benefits. 

    7. Our podcast guests this week include Navy Commander Rob Green, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Carolyn Rocco, Army Major Mandy Feindt, Sonny Fleeman, and Feds for Freedom President Marcus Thornton.

    8. 70. Inspector Generals: Assisting Whistleblowers or Corruption?

      Ryan Sweazey and Francesca Graham of Walk the Talk Foundation join The Feds this week. The role of an Inspector General is to identify and address misconduct within individual agencies, but instead, their offices have increasingly been used to cover up the misconduct and gaslight the whistleblower. Ryan and Francesca discuss specific examples of IG corruption, the plight of the whistleblower, what can be done to end the IG malfeasance under the Trump administration, and the value that the Walk the Talk Foundation adds to the equation.

      Air Force Lt. Col. (Ret) Ryan Sweazey, founder of Walk the Talk Foundation, is a former Inspector General of the Air Force and currently a commercial airline pilot. Army Lt. Col. (Ret) Francesca Graham is the Chief Operations Officer and Chief Advisor for Walk the Talk. Both were assigned to the Defense Intelligence Agency and saw incredible dysfunction within the DOD Inspector General’s office. In January 2022, Sweazey launched the Walk the Talk Foundation, with the mission to substantially change a dysfunctional Inspector General system, while advising and assisting victims navigating the treacherous waters of whistleblowing in the military.
